  Maryland football head coach Mike Loxley blames NIL over him
• 0:11
  losing the locker room last season as the Terps went four
• 0:15
  and eight after three consecutive bowl wins in the
• 0:18
  previous three years. If this can happen to a
• 0:20
  self-proclaimed locker room guy like Locksley, the former
• 0:23
  Broyles Award winner as top assistant coach at Alabama when
• 0:27
  he was OC there before becoming Maryland head coach in 20, are
• 0:31
  we likely facing an epidemic across the country as the days
• 0:35
  of the amateur athlete are now firmly in the past?
• 0:38
  Injured superstar point guard Tyrese Halliburton says the
• 0:42
  dramatic rise and Achilles injuries which took him, Jayson
• 0:45
  Tatum and Damian Lillard out in the playoffs this year and have
• 0:49
  sidelined them all, like in all likelihood for all of next
• 0:52
  season, was just bad luck. We will take a deeper look into
• 0:56
  the root cause of these Achilles injuries before we make a call
• 0:59
  to the pen and dive inside baseball on another live, fully

  No humidity really. It's been a nice breeze.

  The sun's been out. The clouds are out.
• 4:06
  It's about 80° today. This is where Long Island really
• 4:11
  flexes its muscles when it's a kind of day like this.
• 4:14
  I love it. It has been a very spiritual
• 4:17
  day, whatever that means. If, if you're a churchgoer and

• 4:32
  This is the perfect day, ladies and gentlemen, to go to church
• 4:36
  and enjoy the whoa, the, the lovely.
• 4:40
  Well, I was about to say weather, but it, it's weather.
• 4:43
  Anyways, I, I, I want to get off the weather situation.
• 4:46
  Speedy, what is up, man? Yeah, I'm doing well.
• 4:48
  Back of the producers here for the first time in a in a while.
• 4:51
  Shout out to Tommy. Hope he's feeling better too.
• 4:52
  I also want to give a shout out. Rest in peace to Ozzy Osbourne,
• 4:55
  one of the greatest rockers ever, passing away yesterday
• 4:58
  after his farewell tour with Black Sabbath as well.
• 5:00
  A big surprise. And if anybody has ever seen the
• 5:03
  Cosby shows, the Sun, I forget his name.
• 5:07
  Who? What he played Malcolm Jamal
• 5:08
  Warner. Malcolm.
• 5:09
  Yes, he, he passed away too. He drowned at the age I, if I'm
• 5:12
  not mistaken, 54 years old, 53 years old.
• 5:15
  He was very, very young. And my mom always told me and my
• 5:19
  father used to always tell me that it's usually in threes.
• 5:22
  When somebody dies, they usually go in threes.
• 5:25
  And yesterday Ozzy Osbourne went, you know, went at what, 76
• 5:30
  years old, 76 years old, one of the greatest rock singers of all
• 5:34
  time. A lot of people believe Ozzy
• 5:36
  Osbourne was at his best when he left Black Sabbath, where he was
• 5:40
  just Ozzy Osbourne. And I used to watch the Osbourne
• 5:44
  show was the three seasons were very, very interesting.
• 5:47
  They are a very interesting family.
• 5:49
  So my heart goes out to the Osborne family and and the death
• 5:53
  of one of the greatest singers, one of the greatest rockers, one
• 5:56
  of the greatest personalities when it came to music and Ozzy
• 5:59
  Osbourne. So that's a horrible story.
• 6:01
  Jabba, what's up, man? Not just you guys got great
• 6:04
  weather today. We got felt like 106.
• 6:07
  It was, it was a tough one today for us, but and we got all the
• 6:11
  humidity and all the good stuff. So you guys took all the good
• 6:14
  stuff from us today, but other than that, got a good workout
• 6:17
  in, got some stuff watching some baseball.
• 6:20
  Yankees are up 1. Nothing.
• 6:21
  Dominguez went deep. So off to a good start.
• 6:24
  Well, hopefully the Yankees start to pull away in that a
• 6:27
  division that the Blue Jays have really been dominating over the
• 6:30
  last five weeks. The Yankees got to get those
• 6:33
  bats waking up and they got to decide what they're going to do
• 6:36
  with Anthony Volpe. We will get into that a little
• 6:38
  bit later. And so I'm sure Jabba has his
• 6:39
  own thoughts. Actually, me and Jabba were
• 6:41
  speaking about it on the phone today about where the Yankees or
• 6:45
  what the Yankees should be doing at the trade deadline in Anthony
• 6:47
  Volpe. Where did the Yankees go with
• 6:49
  Anthony Volpe? Do they decide to move them down
• 6:51
  or send them down? But what?
• 6:52
  Who are they bringing up to play the shortstop position?
• 6:55
  You know when somebody loses confidence like Anthony when
• 6:59
  he's going down to his knees and trying to block, block a shot or
• 7:03
  like a line drive to put his body in front of it, to throw it
• 7:06
  to 1st, that scares you if you're a shortstop fan,
• 7:10
  especially Anthony Volpe fan and it just the confidence level.
• 7:13
  Everybody wants to blame Aaron Boone, it's Aaron Boone's fault,
• 7:16
  but Aaron Boone is not playing Anthony Volpe's position.
• 7:20
  Aaron Boone was 1/3 baseman when he played for the Yankees and
• 7:23
  when he came from Cincinnati. So, and I believe third bases is
• 7:26
  a hard defensive position. He's pretty damn good at it.
• 7:30
  I'm not going to tell you that Aaron Boone is one of the best
• 7:34
  defensive minded managers in baseball because that would be a
• 7:37
  lie. But Aaron Boone can only help
• 7:40
  the kid develop. You can't teach the kid to
• 7:43
  develop. He's got to figure that out
• 7:44
  himself. So unfortunately, Anthony Volpe
• 7:47
  has not figured that out and the Yankees are going to probably
• 7:50
  start to look deeper into their farm system in the next two
• 7:54
  years. They do have a young shortstop
• 7:56
  that day. They I think signed.
• 7:58
  They got him from the Dominican Republic when he was 16 years
• 8:02
  old. He's now I, if I'm not mistaken,
• 8:04
  18, going to be 19. He's still pretty young.
• 8:07
  They do believe he's A5 tool player.
• 8:09
  We'll see where that kid, you know, as as the the next two
• 8:13
  years come along, what what type of player he's going to be when
• 8:17
  he gets called up from the New York Yankees.
• 8:18
  Anthony Volpe was the guy that I really thought was going to be a
• 8:20
  star in this league. But once you lose confidence,
• 8:23
  Clint Frazier is the the guy that really sticks out to me
• 8:26
  over the years. Clint Frazier was a 5 to 5 to a
• 8:29
  player when the Yankees traded for him.
• 8:31
  If I'm not mistaken, it was Cleveland, right?
• 8:33
  Yeah, it was. It was the Andrew Miller trade
• 8:34
  with the Indians at that time. And he came to the Yankees and
• 8:39
  besides the the problems he had with his cats, if you remember
• 8:42
  that he never really developed with the New York Yankees, Then
• 8:46
  eventually the Yankees traded him or let him go.
• 8:49
  He went to the Sox if I'm not mistaken, and his.
• 8:52
  Bumped around a bunch of teams. Yeah, his career completely felt
• 8:55
  flat in his face. I don't want that to happen to
• 8:57
  Anthony Volpe, but I'm hoping that he figures it out.
• 8:59
  But the Yankees got to figure out what they're going to do.
• 9:01
  At 9:45, we'll be talking to 1111 year MLP catcher Jimmy
• 9:05
  Lawrence will be joining us. He's been on a show before.
• 9:08
  If you don't remember him, I remember him very, very, very
• 9:12
  much when he played in 95 with the Yankees, in 96 with the
• 9:15
  Yankees. But 95, those home runs against
• 9:18
  Seattle, those stuck out to me the most with Jimmy.
• 9:21
  And Jimmy is a great personality.
• 9:23
  Last time he was on the show, he was in, if I'm not mistaken, he
• 9:26
  was at Yankee Stadium at a playoff game in the, you know,
• 9:30
  in the press area, so, or wherever he was.
• 9:33
  But Jimmy is a great guy, very good friend of the show and and
• 9:38
  a great personality. So I'm interested to hear what
• 9:40
  he's got to say with the Yankees and what he thinks the Yankees
• 9:43
  need to do moving forward. But a lot to get into.
• 9:45
  Maryland football coach Mike Locksley told ESPN that he
• 9:51
  blames the NIL for the reason his football team lost the
• 9:55
  locker room of the last year. Locksley said he still took
• 9:59
  accountability as a head coach, but says the discussions over
• 10:04
  which players should be given an NIL deal or money each week was
• 10:10
  a problem. He added that it was a difficult
• 10:13
  dilemma to reward the younger players with higher upside or
• 10:18
  the older players that have been committed to Maryland football
• 10:22
  and their program. Locksley now added added a sign
• 10:27
  in Maryland locker room telling players to leave their financial
• 10:32
  statements and car keys outside of the locker room to focus on
• 10:37
  football. He says that the players since
• 10:40
  the new court ruling in July on July 1st have been much more
• 10:46
  focused on football right now rather than how much they're
• 10:50
  getting paid with their NIL deals.
• 10:53
  Maryland was four and eight last season after three straight
• 10:58
  winning seasons from 2021 to 2023, winning a ball game in all
• 11:05
  three seasons. I don't know much about
• 11:08
  Locksley, OK, and and me and fish were talking about him off,
• 11:12
  you know, on the phone today offset of our show and this
• 11:17
  story. Obviously we knew eventually the
• 11:21
  nil deals were going to get in the way with players deciding
• 11:26
  where they're going to go to school or how much money are
• 11:29
  these players going to be asking for if they're a superstar
• 11:31
  player or one of the best recruits right now in the
• 11:35
  country. And again, you just don't know
• 11:37
  you you could be a four-star, five star recruit or you could
• 11:40
  be a 3 1/2 star recruit. Ward wasn't even I don't even
• 11:43
  think he was in any * recruit and look, he was the number one
• 11:46
  pick in the NFL draft. So again, everybody's going to
• 11:51
  star you because of what you did in high school.
• 11:53
  But again, Locksley has a point and he doesn't have a point.
• 11:57
  This is the same guy that me and Fish were talking about was a
• 12:00
  part of the Alabama Crimson Tide when he was the offensive
• 12:03
  coordinator over there with Nick Saban and his son passed away.
• 12:07
  Now obviously was an accident as far well, I don't even know if
• 12:11
  it was an accident because he got shot, but nevertheless, he's
• 12:15
  a guy that eventually stepped down or lost his job and he got
• 12:19
  the job over here with Maryland. And Maryland is a good
• 12:23
  basketball program. They're not really known for
• 12:25
  their football. We've had a couple of their
• 12:27
  college football players on our show over the years and they're
• 12:31
  they're a good, they're good sports program.
• 12:34
  They're just not really known for their football.
• 12:37
  But Locksley is a known coach in the NCAA and he's trying to find
• 12:43
  ways to pay his players. And the NIL deals are going to
• 12:47
  move forward no matter if they can.
• 12:50
  They decide who they're going to pay and what players are going
• 12:53
  to get paid over the next couple of years or what player is going
• 12:57
  to be recruited or who is going to get recruited and how much
• 13:00
  money they're going to get through that recruitment.
• 13:02
  Now, the NIL deals are also something that a lot of people
• 13:06
  talk about and I don't realize that for years, even though
• 13:09
  there was not NIL deals, there was money being pushed under the
• 13:12
  table. So to think, even though NINIL
• 13:16
  deals are here and they're here to stay, as far as we know right
• 13:19
  now, there's no guarantees that some of these players aren't
• 13:23
  getting paid under the table. And again, Loxley could sit
• 13:27
  there and and make all the excuses in the world.
• 13:30
  Who's going to get what and what should get what and who should
• 13:32
  get this and who should get that?
• 13:35
  The cheerleaders, are they going to get some of that NIL deal
• 13:37
  because they're a world renowned top end Division One
• 13:41
  cheerleading squad? No, the fact is they're going to
• 13:44
  be handed a lot of money or they're going to be handed a
• 13:46
  certain amount of money and they got to decide who deserves what
• 13:49
  when you talk about 5 star recruits.
• 13:51
  And, and again, I will get into my opinion here on what I think
• 13:56
  how they should settle, how the NILNIL deal should be divided
• 14:00
  out to any player from any one of their programs, from baseball
• 14:05
  to hockey to basketball to football.
• 14:08
  You have to look at it and in a big understanding of what you do
• 14:12
  in high school. High school players.
• 14:15
  You work your ass off playing high school ball.
• 14:17
  Baseball, hockey, football, whatever you play in high
• 14:22
  school, you try to be the best player you could possibly be.
• 14:25
  Why? Because you get graded.
• 14:28
  When you come out of high school in football you get graded.
• 14:31
  Either a three star recruit, A2 star recruit, A4 star recruit,
• 14:35
  or a five star recruit, 5 star being the highest.
• 14:39
  If you're a five star recruit with NILDOS you should be
• 14:43
  getting the most money because if you're a five star recruit
• 14:46
  you're one of the best players in the country going into
• 14:49
  college. Now that doesn't mean you stay a
• 14:51
  five star recruit. I do believe if you're a five
• 14:54
  star recruit your first year you should get 5 star recruit and
• 14:58
  I'll deal money after that depending on how you play.
• 15:04
  That is where the team decides on how much you make.
• 15:07
  Furthermore, after your first season as a five star recruit,
• 15:11
  because after your first season you could be considered a three
• 15:14
  star recruit even though you're not, the fact is these NIL deals
• 15:19
  are going to get into the way of how these players decide what,
• 15:24
  where these these players decide where they want to go in the
• 15:27
  future. You want to go if you're playing
• 15:29
  football, you want to play for Alabama, you want to play for
• 15:31
  Georgia, you want to play for USC, you want to play for the
• 15:34
  you want to play for the top recruiting programs in the
• 15:37
  country. Usually in college football,
• 15:40
  it's the SEC. In college basketball now you
• 15:45
  have obviously the East, which has been very, very good with
• 15:48
  UConn and Villanova and some of the best teams we've seen being
• 15:52
  put together over the last 10 years in college basketball.
• 15:56
  And now you have Patino with St. John's over there.
• 15:59
  So you have all these top and head coaches, Calipari
• 16:03
  obviously, or what he's doing right now.
• 16:05
  And then you have baseball and baseball, obviously we all know
• 16:10
  who the best baseball team over the last 10 years has been, and
• 16:13
  that's the LSU Tiger. So the SEC is very big when it
• 16:18
  comes to baseball as well. So you you look at that and
• 16:22
  that's where if you're a top recruit and we had Preston, we
• 16:25
  went to his and I was, I was hosting his event.
• 16:28
  Preston was a 4 1/2 star recruit, so he had Georgia,
• 16:33
  Rutgers. Who's the other team species?
• 16:35
  Florida and. Auburn, Florida and.
• 16:37
  Auburn, those were the four teams.
• 16:38
  All four teams were Division One schools, all four of them.
• 16:43
  And you look at the big picture here, it was probably Georgia or
• 16:47
  Florida is where you would if you were any one of these other
• 16:51
  recruited guys sitting there. And looking at all four of those
• 16:54
  teams, you're probably going with either Florida because
• 16:57
  they've been such a great recruiting program in college
• 17:00
  football, or ladies and gentlemen, you're probably going
• 17:03
  to Georgia Bulldogs because they want back-to-back championships,
• 17:06
  the last one in 2022. They have one of the best
• 17:09
  recruiting classes that are going to be put together in the
• 17:12
  next two years. So I have top three.
• 17:15
  So, you know, and they have one of the best coaches right now in
• 17:18
  college football. So we we look at NIL deals.
• 17:21
  You have to look at where they're ranked.
• 17:25
  How would their rank coming out of school.
• 17:27
  That is where I believe he divide out the money.
• 17:30
  Now, it's going to be very, very hard.
• 17:32
  If you're a player that's been playing for that college
• 17:35
  football team, you didn't decide to portal in to play for another
• 17:38
  team. That's why you have a portal.
• 17:40
  If you know a player's being brought in and he's going to be
• 17:43
  offered this amount of money for NIL, then you go into the portal
• 17:47
  and you go somewhere that's going to pay you some other team
• 17:49
  or some some other program that's going to pay you more.
• 17:52
  There are so many ways now when it comes to college sports where
• 17:57
  you're the player is really in the driver's seat.
• 17:59
  It used to never be that way. It never was really that way
• 18:04
  when you decided to go to a certain school, you know that
• 18:08
  you're going to be on, you're going to be playing for that
• 18:10
  school for the three or four years you're going to be there.
• 18:13
  The only time you could decide to portal out of there in which
• 18:16
  they did, they gave you a chance, you would have to miss
• 18:20
  one year of eligibility. So that's the problem with
• 18:23
  college sports now. You can't, you don't have to
• 18:26
  worry about that. There's a portal and every
• 18:28
  single year, actually, I think it's like you got 2 times.
• 18:31
  Yeah, the second. Time you transferred, then you
• 18:33
  have to wait a year, right, So. You get 2 chances if you want to
• 18:37
  portal to another school and that opens up so many
• 18:41
  possibilities for these players to decide, hey, you know what, I
• 18:44
  could go here. I can.
• 18:45
  I'm playing for Georgia right now.
• 18:47
  I'm one of the best defensive players on his team right now
• 18:49
  and they're bringing in two or three five star recruits.
• 18:52
  They're going to be taking my spot at least another year.
• 18:54
  I want to play two more years of college football.
• 18:56
  I'll go to Florida, I'll be a starter and they're going to
• 18:58
  give me more money for my talent.
• 19:01
  That's the facts and I and I think that's the way the NIL
• 19:04
  deal is going to work until obviously the NCAA figures out
• 19:09
  how it makes sense. Now, like I said, when you're
• 19:11
  getting recruited, I think first you should be looking at where
• 19:16
  they're ranked in the country. If you're a five star recruit,
• 19:19
  right off the bat, you should be making a certain amount of money
• 19:22
  there shouldn't that should definitely show these players in
• 19:26
  and tell these players, hey, you know what, you want to be a high
• 19:29
  recruit, you want to have, you want to get a lot of money as an
• 19:32
  NLNIL player. Well, guess what?
• 19:34
  You got to be a four, four or five star recruit to get that
• 19:38
  money. That's the only way you're going
• 19:39
  to make that money in your first year.
• 19:41
  And if you don't do that well, you're not going to make that
• 19:44
  much money because the other players that were playing for
• 19:47
  the team for two or three years and they're decided to stay
• 19:50
  there are going to because they were such high recruits and
• 19:53
  they're still great players. They're going to make that money
• 19:55
  too. And you know, and Jabba and
• 19:57
  speedy, you know what still is the most important position even
• 20:01
  in college football? That's the quarterback.
• 20:03
  So you know if that quarterback is a top recruit, A4 star
• 20:07
  recruit and he even if he. He wasn't.
• 20:09
  If he's a great player, like we just said, Ward, the guy wasn't.
• 20:13
  I don't even think when he was recruited he had any stars.
• 20:17
  I don't even think he was at a Yeah, he was.
• 20:19
  At a HBCUI, think it was it was somewhere out West.
• 20:24
  I think it was in Texas too before he transferred to
• 20:25
  Washington State. I forgot the name of the school
• 20:28
  but he was at one of those HBCU schools or one of those like
• 20:31
  second tier Division One schools and I don't think he was even
• 20:35
  recruited. He was a 0.
• 20:36
  Star recruit as coach Mr. Fish says over here on the, you know,
• 20:40
  fan private chat. I, I will say this, the nil
• 20:44
  deals are going to be a problem. It's everybody says it.
• 20:48
  Look at Deion Sanders. He was cheating right off the
• 20:51
  bat when he went to Colorado. He's going to Saudi Arabia and
• 20:54
  trying to seek millions and millions of dollars from these
• 20:57
  Princess. How many people know that Saudi
• 21:00
  Arabia's Arabia is one of the biggest and most expensive
• 21:04
  countries and big profit countries in the world?
• 21:07
  Why? Because of their oil.
• 21:09
  That is why, ladies and gentlemen, so that you know
• 21:12
  Deion Sanders, Prime isn't stupid.
• 21:14
  So you know what Prime did? He went to the one place he
• 21:17
  thought nobody was going to discover where he was going to
• 21:21
  take money to the States and pay his players off.
• 21:24
  So Deion Sanders deserves my golf clap if we had one.
• 21:28
  Nevertheless, you look at the big picture here.
• 21:31
  I just look at the Maryland situation, Locksley, he's going
• 21:34
  to say whatever he wants. Loxy's going to play complain
• 21:37
  like every other coach. Nick Saban decided to step down
• 21:40
  after, what, two years ago because he said, you know what,
• 21:43
  I don't want to deal with the NIL deals.
• 21:45
  Dabo Sweeney has been bitching and moaning about these NIL
• 21:48
  deals. But guess what?
• 21:50
  These college coaches are making millions and millions of dollars
• 21:53
  and making it off the recruiting classes they bring in and try to
• 21:57
  win national championships. So I'm not going to cry the
• 22:00
  river for any one of those guys like Dabo Sweeney, who's making
• 22:03
  10 million, or even Nick Saban at one point that was making 13
• 22:07
  million, James Franklin. I think, how about Bill
• 22:08
  Belichick? What's that guy making right
• 22:10
  now? I mean, seriously?
• 22:12
  And he's not even running that team.
• 22:13
  His girlfriend is. His fiance is running that North
• 22:17
  Carolina team as she's flashing and dancing and making decisions
• 22:20
  for Bill Belichick that Bill Belichick knew knew nothing
• 22:23
  about it. So it just shows you the way
• 22:27
  college sports is moving. That's why Bill Belichick went
• 22:30
  to North Carolina. Don't get it twisted.
• 22:32
  It had nothing to do with his father because his father
• 22:34
  coached there and had nothing to do with, hey, you know what, I'm
• 22:38
  going to run this organization to the and I'm going to win
• 22:40
  national championships. No, it's the money thing.
• 22:43
  He knows that the way he can recruit players is going and
• 22:49
  jumping from one hand to another and finding ways to get money to
• 22:52
  get the best recruiting, recruiting players in the
• 22:55
  country to come and play for him.
• 22:57
  And that's why Bill and he doesn't have to deal with those
• 23:00
  pro players bitching and moaning and and game playing from one
• 23:04
  team to another. He doesn't really have to do
• 23:06
  that. You know what he has to do?
• 23:07
  All he's got to do is raise men. He is so used to doing that as
• 23:12
  he was raining, raising a lot of stupid asses over there in New
• 23:15
  England and still winning championships.
• 23:17
  So there's no lie about that. I just think and and again, Fish
• 23:21
  and me went back and forth on this.
• 23:23
  The NIL deal really has brought open opportunity for these
• 23:28
  players to not only bring a generational money home to their
• 23:32
  in good and good and bad ways. Yes, yes, generational money
• 23:37
  that'll help their families in the long run, but it also brings
• 23:41
  problems when it comes like Staba was saying, it brings
• 23:44
  problems on how do you decide or where do you decide the money
• 23:48
  will go and what program is especially when you go into a
• 23:52
  college like let's say LSU, they got a good baseball team, they
• 23:55
  got a good football team and they have a decent basketball
• 23:57
  team. Where does that money go if you
• 24:00
  have all these big recruiting classes every single year with
• 24:03
  great programs? Where does that money go where
• 24:06
  you can distinctly understand how it would work throughout
• 24:10
  every single season? Locksley has a point there.
• 24:13
  But Locksley shouldn't be bitching because this is a good
• 24:16
  problem to have. This is not a bad problem to
• 24:19
  have, Speedy. No, it's not.
• 24:20
  It's not a bad problem. And also I think the approach
• 24:23
  that Locksley is saying it has to be something that a lot of
• 24:25
  these kind of second tier Power 5 schools are going to take on
• 24:28
  like you're doing with Maryland. Like you said, Maryland's not
• 24:30
  really known as a football school.
• 24:31
  They're not. They're a basketball,
• 24:32
  Basketball. School, they're a good lacrosse
• 24:34
  school. They're pretty, they're up and
• 24:36
  down with hockey, I think, but mainly basketball like you were
• 24:38
  saying, especially when they were in the ACC football, they
• 24:41
  had a they've had a few good years recently, but again,
• 24:43
  they've never been known Again, it's a tough conference they're
• 24:45
  in, in the Big 10 E, they're playing with Ohio State,
• 24:47
  Michigan and Penn State, but still never really known for
• 24:50
  their football. And that's why I think you have
• 24:51
  to establish yourself when it comes to the recruiting aspect
• 24:54
  to get those five star recruits to want to come to a school like
• 24:57
  Maryland and make them pick Maryland over those Big 10
• 25:00
  schools, over those other schools in that region, that ACC
• 25:03
  schools that could have a better football reputation.
• 25:06
  And that's why I think him having the dilemma of doing that
• 25:08
  last season when they were struggling did not make a lot of
• 25:11
  sense. I think you want to establish
• 25:13
  that for the five star players to not only do that, but also
• 25:15
  want to stay there. If there is going to be a turn
• 25:18
  around, get a bowl, bowl season, a six or seven win season.
• 25:21
  If there's going to be a turn around in that program, it's
• 25:23
  going to have to come with those five star recruits staying there
• 25:26
  and developing there. And like you're saying too, it's
• 25:28
  hard in football, especially when those rosters are triple
• 25:31
  the size of NFL rosters. It's over 100 on a college
• 25:34
  roster because a lot of them are red shirted.
• 25:36
  A lot of them are like transferred over and they can't
• 25:39
  play right away. And there's a lot of duplicate
• 25:40
  numbers. I you look at the roster.
• 25:42
  So it's like almost double the size of an NFL roster.
• 25:45
  And depending on the type of program that you are, that means
• 25:47
  you're looking at more. Not all, not all of them are
• 25:49
  going to get NI. Well, if you're on.
• 25:50
  The practice squad you're if you're not a top recruit, so
• 25:54
  yeah, I would imagine. Not all of them are not even
• 25:56
  like maybe half of them are going to get nil if you're a. 4
• 25:58
  1/2 or 4 *5 star recruit, you're going to be a starter or you're
• 26:02
  going to be right behind the starters, the backups, the to be
• 26:05
  their backups. There's no way you're going to
• 26:07
  be recruiting. You're going to say listen,
• 26:09
  you're going to be red shirted the first year.
• 26:11
  It used to be that way when I was deciding to go to Maine, New
• 26:14
  Hampshire in Niagara, I was told and I was one of the best United
• 26:18
  States. I was top, top 20 United States
• 26:21
  hockey player. When I was 17 years old.
• 26:23
  I decided to go to Niagara because I did not want to go to
• 26:28
  Maine in New Hampshire and be red shirted my first year
• 26:30
  because of some of the best play.
• 26:31
  Remember these, the New Hampshire and Maine at the time
• 26:34
  were two of the best college programs in the country.
• 26:37
  So they have all the top recruits from the year before
• 26:41
  and the year before playing college hockey.
• 26:43
  Because in the NHL you want to play four years before you even
• 26:47
  go to the NHL. No matter how high of a draft
• 26:49
  pick you are, you're probably playing at least three to four
• 26:53
  years before you decide, hey, I'm going to play juniors or
• 26:56
  hey, I'm going to play AHL hockey.
• 26:58
  So it's a different world, world with different sports like
• 27:02
  Jabba, AAA, AA, Single A. And if you get drafted, more
• 27:06
  than likely you're not playing college ball, as we all know.
• 27:09
  Garrett Cole. Garrett Cole was drafted by the
• 27:13
  New York Yankees and he decided, you know what, I'm going to play
• 27:16
  college ball. I am going to rebut that and I'm
• 27:20
  going to go and play for, if I'm not mistaken, UCLAUCLA.
• 27:24
  Yeah. And then he then was a first
• 27:27
  round draft pick because the Yankees drafted him in the in
• 27:29
  the mid 20s. He goes back into the draft and
• 27:32
  he gets drafted by Pittsburgh and he was the number one pick,
• 27:35
  if I'm not mistaken. So we went from like in the 20s
• 27:39
  to all the way the number one. And Garrett Cole is one of the
• 27:42
  best pitchers when healthy in all of baseball.
• 27:44
  So we all know the type of talent that he is.
• 27:47
  But at the time there were no NIL deals because if baseball
• 27:52
  had NIL deals at that time, I could tell you this, Steven
• 27:56
  Strasburg doesn't jump all the way to the major leagues as fast
• 27:59
  as he did. Rice, Harper, all these guys
• 28:02
  that went into the draft. How about this, do you think,
• 28:06
  and there is a quarterback in Kyla Murray, If there were NIL
• 28:10
  deals and he was as good of a baseball player like they say he
• 28:14
  was, do you think he goes to football or decides, hey, you
• 28:18
  know what, I could play 4 years of college baseball and make
• 28:22
  more money doing that and then go into the major leagues.
• 28:25
  He was a top what, 10 first round draft pick?
• 28:27
  If I was the 6th pick by the end, Hold on.
• 28:30
  Harold Cole was drafted in the first round out of high school.
• 28:33
  Yeah, I know that. He decided not.
• 28:36
  No, you said 20th. What?
• 28:38
  Yeah, He was drafted 28th in the first round.
• 28:40
  Yes, that's what I mean. He was in the 20s, still a first
• 28:43
  round. Yeah, it was a first round pick.
• 28:45
  And then he decided I want to go.
• 28:47
  I know he's drafted out of high school.
• 28:49
  And then he had to. He wanted to decide if he's
• 28:51
  going to play college ball or play for the Yankees and he
• 28:54
  decided he wanted to go play college ball.
• 28:56
  So he rebutted the the draft and the Yankees got an extra first
• 29:00
  round draft pick because Garrett Cole decided to go back to to go
• 29:04
  play for UCLA. The fact is, at the time,
• 29:07
  Garrett Cole was a Yankee and that's why the Yankees were
• 29:10
  gunning for him when Houston was fighting to give him another
• 29:13
  contract and it's extend him. The Yankees grabbed the guy that
• 29:17
  Brian Cashman drafted years before he decided to go play
• 29:20
  college ball. What I'm saying here is you're
• 29:23
  going to see that NIL deals are going to drive these young kids
• 29:27
  to decide, hey, you know what? I don't know what I'm going to
• 29:30
  do as a pro. I could still make generational
• 29:33
  type of money playing college sports.
• 29:36
  And if I make a pro team, I still get a full scholarship.
• 29:41
  I'm still making millions of dollars as a as as a college
• 29:44
  player. I got nothing to worry about.
• 29:47
  The NFL, the NBA, the MLB, the NHL, that's all A+ to me.
• 29:52
  When I move forward after four years of college, this will push
• 29:55
  kids to decide, hey, you know what?
• 29:56
  I'll play my 4 years of college. I'm not going to rush into
• 30:00
  playing professional sports because I'm making them money.
• 30:02
  I understand that. But Speedy, you brought up
• 30:04
  something about the NIL money and you know, these five star
• 30:08
  guys wanting to keep them for four years.
• 30:10
  This is what I hate about the transfer portal because what
• 30:13
  like and you brought this up when you brought up saving and
• 30:15
  raising young men and Belichick, right?
• 30:18
  Well, are we truly raising young men?
• 30:21
  Because if you say and let's let's do this as a commitment to
• 30:24
  anything you do in life. And when it?
• 30:27
  Gets harder if you don't like it.
• 30:28
  Or you can go make more money. Oh, I'm just going to leave.
• 30:31
  Are we truly? Raising young men where hey, I
• 30:35
  can go and make more money, or hey, I didn't get the money I
• 30:37
  thought, or I didn't get the playing time.
• 30:39
  I can just leave and go Willy nilly.
• 30:41
  So are we really raising young men in the aspect of them and
• 30:46
  their morale? Are we just making them good
• 30:48
  business people? Those are two.
• 30:51
  Different things, they go hand in hand, but if this gets hard,
• 30:55
  I don't get any playing time. Let me go take an extra year.
• 30:58
  I don't have to sit out. I can maybe go make a little bit
• 31:02
  of money, but oh, I'm not playing.
• 31:05
  So I'm going to leave because I don't like it.
• 31:07
  Wham, Wham. Well, if you don't like it, play
• 31:09
  better. So are we truly raising young
• 31:12
  men? Are we raising young businessmen
• 31:14
  and women? Well, and I, you go back to this
• 31:17
  and, and, and again, going back to the NIL deals, we go back to
• 31:20
  the coaches and what the coaches stand for.
• 31:23
  Is it good for the player to see the coaches?
• 31:25
  Hey, you know what somebody's offering me from 7 million to 13
• 31:28
  million. I'm I'm the reason why you're
• 31:30
  making all that money. I'm the reason why you're ranked
• 31:33
  in the top ten in all of the country.
• 31:35
  I'm the reason why you're up for a national championship.
• 31:37
  OK, So if that's the case, they they're getting that money based
• 31:41
  upon projection. And that's let's that's any
• 31:44
  draft, right? Like that's we're not, we're not
• 31:46
  talking crazy in that. But.
• 31:48
  Also, when it comes down to it, OK, we're offering say it.
• 31:52
  Let's just use 10 million as an example, just an EV number.
• 31:56
  OK, you're a five star coming in and you kind of touched on this
• 31:58
  a little bit and you come in and you aren't a five star, OK,
• 32:03
  you're going to get a signing bonus, but now you're not
• 32:06
  getting all of that money. That's where I think you were
• 32:09
  trying to get into, like, OK, you come in, you haven't played
• 32:13
  a snap in college football. We're talking SEC where they're
• 32:15
  getting the big money. Nebraska is one of the top ten
• 32:18
  schools of NIL money just because you have all these rich
• 32:20
  farmers from western NE. We have the most.
• 32:23
  We have the most billionaires per capita.
• 32:26
  I'm going to say. Riolis and Nil deal was pretty
• 32:28
  big I'm pretty sure. But yeah, but you got to forget
• 32:31
  they're not, they're just adding monetary.
• 32:33
  They're not adding the apartment that he got, the free cars that
• 32:36
  he gets. That's on top of everything.
• 32:39
  And. So.
• 32:41
  For me. It's like, and you touched on it
• 32:43
  where it's like, OK, you haven't played a snap.
• 32:46
  So you come in and you're this guy, right?
• 32:49
  Well, now you're not that guy and you got benched.
• 32:52
  Oh, you still expect that money? That's where it comes in.
• 32:55
  Are we raising men? Are you raising young
• 32:58
  businessmen and women? OK, because now he doesn't like
• 33:00
  it. He can go to another school and
• 33:02
  make money. What choice do?
• 33:04
  You have for a program like Maryland, though, if you're
• 33:07
  getting, if you're not getting, if you're getting stagnant with
• 33:09
  football, they've made some few bowl games Fish was showing the
• 33:11
  highlights of the the Mayo bowl game or the mayonnaise stuff
• 33:14
  they've made they've. More and more bowl games than
• 33:16
  us. No, I.
• 33:17
  Know that that's what I'm saying, like a lot of those
• 33:18
  programs really don't have that kind of choice to be able to
• 33:21
  just shy that away. Otherwise you end up with
• 33:23
  coaches like Dabo Sweeney that are just going to be anti
• 33:26
  transfer portal and a program like Clemson, maybe you can get
• 33:29
  away with that because they have a good reputation.
• 33:30
  A program like Maryland cannot get away with.
• 33:32
  Do you cap? It per team or do you cap it
• 33:34
  like do you tear it like OK, 5432 or do you like OK, this
• 33:41
  sport gets this because obviously we know the footballs
• 33:44
  and the basketballs are the money driven sports, right?
• 33:47
  For us, it's not really like we're a different we're a
• 33:49
  volleyball school and you know, we've got decent basketball,
• 33:53
  nothing, nothing crazy, crazy good.
• 33:55
  But you know, we get good attendance, obviously have great
• 33:57
  NIL and we get some decent players, don't get me wrong.
• 34:00
  But we're a volleyball school and a football school and most
• 34:03
  are football, basketball and and then there's football, baseball,
• 34:07
  it's it's it's kind of all over the place.
• 34:09
  But my question is do do we cap it per player wise?
• 34:13
  And I and. Speedy, I get what you're
• 34:14
  saying. It's like some of these schools
• 34:16
  don't have the opportunity, but then you got like Oklahoma State
• 34:19
  or somebody like that that has Boone pickings that just gives
• 34:22
  billions of dollars. Mind you, he's passed away, but
• 34:24
  you know his his trust and his family.
• 34:27
  So I don't know the right do you do it because then it's kind of
• 34:31
  unfair. Do you make it like a luxury tax
• 34:33
  where it becomes like, OK, this school gets if it goes above
• 34:36
  this mount, then a Division One mid major like a South Dakota
• 34:41
  State or something around like I'm just thinking around here
• 34:45
  where it's like then it goes, it trickles down.
• 34:47
  I just don't know the right answer of of how to succumb
• 34:50
  that. I think the NCAA will obviously
• 34:54
  win the new rules and and the transformation of where the NCAA
• 34:59
  is going to go with the NIL deals in the next three to four
• 35:02
  years. They're going to have some kind
• 35:03
  of plan. I'm sure a lot of different
• 35:06
  schools and programs, top schools and programs are going
• 35:08
  to find ways where it'll make it easier to get the recruiting
• 35:12
  players that they want because everybody knows and and it's the
• 35:15
  truth. Depending on the sport, the top
• 35:18
  ten schools to play basketball, the top ten schools to play
• 35:21
  football, the top ten schools to play baseball and the top ten
• 35:25
  schools to play hockey. So and then volleyball and then
• 35:28
  lacrosse. Schools that are giving the
• 35:30
  money no matter what. So if you know that they're
• 35:33
  they're the tops of of their programs in those areas, that's
• 35:38
  where the money is going to probably be divided out with
• 35:41
  those schools. Like Duke is not known for their
• 35:44
  football, even though they've guys like Riley Leonard, they've
• 35:46
  had players come out. Obviously there's yeah, Danny
• 35:51
  Dimes that came from the organization.
• 35:53
  Well, the program. And then you look at what do
• 35:55
  they know for? They know for their lacrosse,
• 35:56
  which is one of the best in the country every single year, and
• 35:59
  their basketball, the Duke Blue Devils, which has really been a
• 36:03
  powerhouse since Coach K went there.
• 36:05
  So then you're looking OK, where if I want to go and play for a
• 36:09
  top collegiate school where I'm going to get a great degree, I'm
• 36:12
  going to Duke. Because their program is telling
• 36:15
  you right now that you're probably going to an elite 8:00
• 36:18
  every single year, a Sweet 16 every single year, definitely a
• 36:21
  tournament. And their their college lacrosse
• 36:23
  team always wins. They've won five national
• 36:26
  championships in like 1213 years.
• 36:29
  So that that's where you want to go.
• 36:31
  If you're going to Duke, those are the two programs you're
• 36:34
  going to jump into. It's about it's about money.
• 36:36
  And I know fish is going to go into this too, because it to me,
• 36:40
  it's not about how you divide it out.
• 36:43
  It's when you look at these players and the type of
• 36:45
  recruiting players they are, is lacrosse that big of an
• 36:48
  important sport to go and watch? Is that going to bring a lot of
• 36:51
  money to, you know, the the program?
• 36:53
  No, the two programs, like you were saying, Jabba, that really
• 36:58
  drives those schools is the basketball program and the
• 37:01
  football program. Football being #1 basketball
• 37:03
  being #2 that's a fact. Go look at it.
• 37:06
  Go look at it. Even you look at the NBA in the
• 37:08
  NFL right now and why they're bringing in so much 10s of
• 37:11
  millions of dollars through sponsors and endorsements and
• 37:15
  all that other stuff. It's because of what those
• 37:17
  sports, those sports bring back, bring back worldwide.
• 37:21
  Now football is big in England. They might have an English team,
• 37:25
  maybe in the future. Germany.
• 37:27
  We saw our first Germany game a couple of years ago with Tom
• 37:31
  Brady. Remember that?
• 37:32
  Australia, Brazil, the first game of the season this past
• 37:36
  year, last year. I I think if I was a mistake, it
• 37:39
  was Green Bay and somebody else. Yeah, Philly.
• 37:41
  And that was. When, if I if I'm not mistaken,
• 37:44
  Love got hurt, He got hurt. Now, have they done one in
• 37:47
  London or was that baseball? They've done it a couple of
• 37:51
  times and he's both on London too.
• 37:52
  The Jaguars are an organization that might want to their owner
• 37:56
  is from He's foreign, he's a billionaire, and he's always
• 38:00
  wanted to move the Jacksonville Jaguars to England.
• 38:02
  Owns Premier League teams over there as well.
• 38:05
  I've always thought the perfect name if they move there is the
• 38:08
  London Knights. Wouldn't that be just I could
• 38:11
  see the jersey, I could see the merch, It just is like perfect.
• 38:14
  I can't believe no one's taken that before.
• 38:17
  I was in a Madden. Franchise with my brother and
• 38:19
  the Chargers move and became nuts.
• 38:21
  That's interesting. I would imagine it would look
• 38:23
  like a chess piece or something like that.
• 38:25
  You know what I mean? And you know what I would, you
• 38:27
  know what I would have as a my logo, I would have the sword in
• 38:30
  the stone. That's what I would have.
• 38:33
  I like that. I see there's so much merch you
• 38:34
  can get out of it. Makes so much sense.
• 38:36
  I mean, there's only so many people who really love Jaguars,
• 38:39
  I think out there. But this whole thing, Errol, we
• 38:44
  were talking about earlier today, you've mentioned a couple
• 38:46
  of times. I just see this as like the
• 38:48
  coach getting really frustrated like all right, so I've got star
• 38:52
  players they have to get paid. Then I have starters, they have
• 38:56
  to get paid. But those starters, a bunch of
• 38:57
  them were two star and three star guys that developed and now
• 39:01
  they're going into their senior year.
• 39:03
  So they need to get paid, but I can't pay all of them because I
• 39:06
  also need to pay the freshman quarterback coming in.
• 39:09
  I got to pay these backup that, you know, the six foot seven
• 39:12
  £400 lineman who can't play at all right now, but I got to pay
• 39:16
  them because I'm going to develop them.
• 39:17
  So now this guy when or other guys like a red shirt freshman,
• 39:21
  you know, five star guy who's not playing this year is walking
• 39:25
  around campus flaunting money and you're a starter on the team
• 39:29
  and you're looking like a punk and he's probably talking shit
• 39:32
  about you too because he's got this money and you don't.
• 39:36
  So what's going to happen? You're going to transfer out of
• 39:38
  there, right? You're going to go where you can
• 39:40
  be big dog on campus. So now all these teams are going
• 39:43
  to lose their mid tier pieces, their depth and all they're
• 39:46
  going to have is a bunch of really good players and a bunch
• 39:49
  of guys that aren't there yet. And you're going to have these
• 39:52
  locker room issues. You're going to see a completely
• 39:54
  fall apart. This Maryland program.
• 39:56
  This guy is gone as a head coach if he can't figure this out this
• 39:59
  year. I mean, the fact that he
• 40:00
  admitted it as very brave of him.
• 40:02
  I think it very stand up guy to say like, you know, I screwed
• 40:04
  up. This is why.
• 40:06
  I did not know how to handle it. And he said, I'll put my, my, my
• 40:09
  desk in the locker room. He's not going to let anyone
• 40:12
  talk about money in the locker room.
• 40:13
  He's going to try to make that. I don't know if that works
• 40:15
  either, though. Like that's, that's like, how
• 40:18
  are you going to get people to stop talking about this?
• 40:19
  It's you can't stop talking about it.
• 40:22
  I don't know. I mean Jabba in the pros, I
• 40:25
  would imagine it's a little different, you know, as far as
• 40:27
  the professionalism of talking about it, but I'm sure you still
• 40:30
  see some of that, right? Yeah, I mean you do obviously I
• 40:34
  think it's a little bit different because there's I mean
• 40:37
  there's a lot of obviously the USA TODAY everybody's opening
• 40:41
  salaries is on opening day. So you can kind of see
• 40:44
  everybody. I mean the thing that probably
• 40:46
  is the only difference is endorsements and that's about
• 40:49
  it. But I think more so on the on
• 40:53
  the college side is you do see that two or three guy that is
• 40:56
  like, OK, well, I've earned my right.
• 40:58
  Like I was only getting, you know, 10 grand or 20 grand.
• 41:03
  And now, you know, you're bringing in, you know, this kid
• 41:06
  that hasn't done anything. And I've proven and we've gotten
• 41:09
  2 bowl games while I've been here.
• 41:10
  Why are you going to give him, you know, 500 grand and I'm
• 41:13
  still only getting 10. So I can see it, But and it it's
• 41:17
  just harder and I, I've tried to learn as much as I could about
• 41:21
  the nil and it's still still all kind of over the place as far as
• 41:26
  like logistics and how it works. So I don't know if it's public.
• 41:30
  I don't know if you can go and look as what you were.
• 41:34
  Saying before Java like how, how are they going to distribute
• 41:37
  them to good programs versus like the most profitable sports,
• 41:40
  right and. It's like, it's like, OK, yeah,
• 41:42
  you have profitable in one sport.
• 41:43
  I don't know the balance, I don't know the right answer,
• 41:45
  but. I think it's.
• 41:46
  Tough too, because that like fish.
• 41:49
  That's a great question because like the unknown is like is this
• 41:52
  dude really making the 300 grand that I heard or is you know that
• 41:56
  just hearsay. You still got guys like still
• 41:58
  growing up, they're still teenagers.
• 42:00
  So I mean, that's a big deal. Like once you're in the big
• 42:02
  leagues, it's like. Hey, I'm.
• 42:04
  Here, I'm making good money. Obviously some guys are making
• 42:07
  crazy money, but you're like, I'm doing all right.
• 42:09
  The NIL deals also, even though there's a certain amount of
• 42:12
  money that you can dish out to certain a certain one of these
• 42:14
  players and superstar players that they're going to bring up
• 42:18
  or bring in either through the portal or through, you know,
• 42:21
  recruiting them. They're they're still money
• 42:23
  going to be pitched under the table.
• 42:25
  And I don't care what anybody says, there's still going to be
• 42:28
  crooked owner, you know, crooked schools that are going to have
• 42:32
  the coaches do it or they're going to have somebody handing,
• 42:36
  handing these kids some kind of money where everything that
• 42:39
  they're like probably not getting because the team, the
• 42:43
  school's get saying, you know what, we're going to give it to
• 42:45
  this guy and we're going to give you some money under the table.
• 42:48
  That to me is going to be something that the NCAA is going
• 42:52
  to have to look at too in the future because that it's not
• 42:56
  only going to be the big recruiting schools, it's going
• 42:58
  to be the smaller ones. Because that is more likely to
• 43:01
  happen in the smaller schools. Knowing that they're going to be
• 43:05
  able to dish that kind of money and try to get a top tight end
• 43:08
  or a top quarterback or whatever they decide they think is best
• 43:12
  for their school and and winning or trying to win a ball game.
• 43:15
  Because remember, every time you go and play in a ball game when
• 43:17
  it comes to college football, you'll automatically, if I'm not
• 43:20
  mistaken, making $10 million. Yeah, I think the.
• 43:22
  Conference gets a percentage too, which is going incentive
• 43:26
  for football programs other sports to be able to grow that
• 43:29
  way too. Jeff was saying to like a
• 43:31
  certain types of bowl games depending on the level of bowl
• 43:33
  games will get a certain amount of money as well.
• 43:35
  It's a it's. A good argument to where the NIL
• 43:38
  is going to go. And obviously they're going to
• 43:40
  have to sit down and decide how this money is going to be
• 43:42
  divvied out or how this portal thing that they have right now,
• 43:46
  which everybody is using because I want to go play on play with
• 43:50
  Deion Sanders. And then after that, you don't
• 43:51
  like Dion, I want to go and be coached by Davos Sweeney or one
• 43:55
  of these other guys. I want to go to Georgia.
• 43:57
  I want to go to Tennessee because they're a great program
• 43:59
  and I love the coach. Or I want to go and be coached
• 44:01
  by Bill Belichick's wife or fiance, future wife and like to
• 44:05
  look at that, those tits and ass for the next couple of years.
• 44:08
  I wouldn't mind that. Maybe she's got some friends for
• 44:11
  me. If I'm a five star.
• 44:12
  Don't tell. Don't tell Catherine that.
• 44:17
  I mean we. Know that we know that's part of
• 44:19
  it too, right? Hey, I can I this and
• 44:21
  everything. I won't drop names, but we had a
• 44:23
  house that you went to when you when it was recruiting weekend.
• 44:27
  I wonder what? Java, it's true what you were
• 44:29
  doing there. Everybody does.
• 44:31
  Hey Java, I asked AI to show us what the Nebraska rich
• 44:37
  businessmen look like and it came up with this for us.
• 44:44
  Nice, sounds about right. The corn.
• 44:47
  Mafia corn. Is there actually a corn Mafia?
• 44:51
  Is there really, I, I would assume all those farmers in
• 44:55
  western Nebraska. I, I don't necessarily know, but
• 44:58
  like if you, if you cross, like if you try to like cross
• 45:01
  pollinate, like and like get over and somebody's like, it
• 45:04
  could be a row of whether it's beans or corn or wheat or
• 45:09
  barley. Like it's, yeah, it's, it's
• 45:11
  fighting words. Like I got a buddy his, they,
• 45:14
  they farm 21,000 acres. And so, yeah, it's those what
• 45:19
  you say about my barley. Yeah.
• 45:21
  What did you say? About my barley speaking.
• 45:24
  And the best part is one of one of my good buddies in in western
• 45:27
  Nebraska, he works for a financial company as and
• 45:31
  literally they meet every morning for coffee and he just
• 45:34
  manages their money. That's all he does.
• 45:36
  They meet every morning for coffee and their average eight.
• 45:39
  Well, he's he's 4048 and he took over for a good friend of mine's
• 45:45
  dad who retired and he was like 8 like 80.
• 45:49
  And he's like, yeah, these dudes are like 848180.
• 45:53
  And he goes, we sit and have coffee every morning and talk
• 45:56
  about what we need to do. It's.
• 45:58
  Coffee. It's coffee.
• 46:01
  It's coffee, coffee, coffee. Well, speaking about farm states
• 46:06
  on the Pat McAfee Show, Tyrese Halberton opened up about his
• 46:10
  Achilles injury, his first public statement since his
• 46:13
  injury. He said that the injury felt
• 46:15
  like he got kicked by a ball in the back of his leg and and he
• 46:20
  knew it was a torn the moment he fell down.
• 46:23
  He added that he tried to replicate Kobe Bryant's
• 46:28
  unbelievable game where he got free throws after tearing his
• 46:32
  Achilles but knew that he couldn't.
• 46:34
  He added that the injury didn't come as a result of the
• 46:39
  workload. Just saying it was a bad lucky
• 46:43
  break. He also doesn't blame the fact
• 46:47
  that the season was too long or players are playing too many
• 46:51
  minutes per game. Hal Burton visited Kevin Durant
• 46:55
  after his Achilles surgery and KD jokingly said he was sick of
• 47:01
  being known as the Achilles Achilles guy after both Jayson
• 47:06
  Tatum and Damian Lillard visited him to.
• 47:10
  The Pacers confirm that Halliburton has no chance of
• 47:14
  playing in 2025 NBA season. Even if they are, even if they
• 47:20
  go to the playoffs. You know, it's funny because we
• 47:24
  talk about these Achilles tears and we see it going on right now
• 47:28
  in the NFL. And I've asked many different X
• 47:31
  players or even coaches that have come on this show or even
• 47:36
  offset, I've spoken, you know, on social media and, and got
• 47:39
  into a conversation. Or what do you think is the
• 47:41
  reason why these Achilles injuries are happening?
• 47:44
  And in football, a lot of people are saying it's the turf.
• 47:47
  It, it's the, the cleats that they're using, being that
• 47:50
  they're much deeper cleats. And depending on the position I
• 47:54
  and that weight and the athletic ability some of these guys have,
• 47:57
  it's been more often than then that there's been Achilles after
• 48:03
  Achilles after Achilles injury in the NFL.
• 48:07
  When you talk about the NBA, there were a few ones over the
• 48:12
  years that really came to me. And I'll, I'll give you the ones
• 48:15
  that really stuck out to me. First it was Kobe Bryant.
• 48:18
  Kobe Bryant, when he tore his Achilles and he was in his mid
• 48:22
  30s. This guy was at the tail end of
• 48:25
  his career when he tore his Achilles.
• 48:26
  He was never the same player. He never was.
• 48:29
  And if you watch the Kobe Bryant documentary that's been on
• 48:33
  Showtime plenty of times before he passed away, it was a very
• 48:37
  interesting documentary because at the time that he tore his
• 48:40
  Achilles, he had the camera following him and he he, he
• 48:44
  couldn't believe how much work he had to put in to getting back
• 48:48
  on an NBA court. And he was never the same.
• 48:51
  The other one that really stuck out to me over the years was
• 48:54
  Klay Thompson. Klay.
• 48:56
  Thompson, remember, he tore his ACL, if I'm not mistaken first
• 49:01
  and then he tore his Achilles. And as soon as he when you get
• 49:07
  when you tear your ACL, you usually can come back at full
• 49:10
  strength. We've seen it, we've seen
• 49:12
  Peterson do it, we've seen NBA players do it.
• 49:15
  I've seen it plenty of times that people from a torn ACL has
• 49:19
  come back. When you tear your Achilles,
• 49:23
  your Achilles where you're jumping and doing all those
• 49:27
  things on a basketball court that not normal people could do,
• 49:31
  the chances you coming back and being the same player is slim to
• 49:35
  none. So we go and we we can argue
• 49:38
  these points about what Tyrese Halliburton saying he's trying
• 49:42
  to figure it out. The NBA is trying to figure out
• 49:44
  how they can clean it up. And Adam Silver and the LJA is
• 49:47
  sitting with their their captains.
• 49:49
  As we all know, LeBron James is the lead general.
• 49:52
  And then you have Carmelo Anthony.
• 49:54
  He's no part no more part of the the NBA, but he's there.
• 49:57
  Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, all those guys, they're they're
• 50:02
  sitting there talking to the LJA and making decisions for the
• 50:05
  NBA. As we all know, Dwyane Wade is a
• 50:07
  a co-owner or peace owner over there Utah, I think Chris Paul.
• 50:11
  'S now the leader of the NF NBA players, and now you have
• 50:13
  Carmelo. Anthony coming out and saying he
• 50:15
  wants to own a team in the future, too.
• 50:17
  What's next, ladies and gentlemen?
• 50:18
  You could buy the Knicks. From James Dolan.
• 50:20
  Enough said. The fact here is Tyrese
• 50:24
  Halliburton is one of the best young point guards in the NBA.
• 50:27
  Lengthy, talented, gifted athlete, tore his Achilles.
• 50:32
  He's in his like early 20s and you're tearing your Achilles
• 50:37
  early that so you question why is this happening to young guys?
• 50:42
  That's what. These guys haven't played as
• 50:44
  long as like Luca or in Lukas been in a league for five years,
• 50:49
  but not even him, Yokich or any or the Greek Freak at Yannis,
• 50:53
  Anyone of these guys that are in their 30s now.
• 50:57
  And you wonder, hey, who and what and how are we going to
• 51:00
  blame this story on something where the LJ can figure out how
• 51:05
  they can clean up this mess? There is no way to clean up this
• 51:09
  mess because I have the reason. I told Fish my opinion on why I
• 51:14
  think the NBA needs to look not at the league as it's 82 games
• 51:21
  or the coaches playing them too long of minutes as we know
• 51:25
  Thibodeau did for the New York Knicks, or any excuse to say
• 51:29
  that it it doesn't make sense. Here's the sense here.
• 51:33
  I own and hold on. I want to show you guys
• 51:35
  something. I'm a.
• 51:38
  Sneaker collector OK, this is a sneaker.
• 51:41
  You see it right over here. This is a This is an Air.
• 51:45
  This is an Air Max. Very known, Very nice, very nice
• 51:48
  color. I've got 300 sneakers.
• 51:51
  I threw it on the ground. I got 300 sneakers in my studio
• 51:54
  set up to show when people come to the studio.
• 51:58
  And I, I, I look at these sneakers because I'm a sneaker
• 52:01
  head. That's what they call us.
• 52:02
  They call us sneaker heads. These NBA players, they're
• 52:06
  sneaker heads too. These hip hop artists are
• 52:08
  sneaker heads too. When I look at a sneaker from
• 52:11
  the 90s and I, I should have brought one because I have it
• 52:15
  over there. I, I have the Charles Barkley's
• 52:18
  OK and Charles Barkley had a very common popular basketball
• 52:24
  Nike shoe in the 90s and he wore it and a lot of people went out
• 52:29
  there and bought I want, you know, they're crying with their
• 52:33
  mommy, give me Michael Gordon. I like my guy Dennis Rodman.
• 52:36
  I got him angry. But you know, all these idiots,
• 52:39
  they're out there screaming blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 52:41
  Christmas time, Thanksgiving or back to school.
• 52:43
  Daddy and mommy, I want my 2 Jordans for the year.
• 52:46
  We all know this. You look at the sneaker now, and
• 52:50
  you look at the sneaker then. The sneakers then were built to
• 52:55
  fit every foot. That's what they.
• 52:58
  Were I mean, they made these sneakers, they didn't mimic
• 53:01
  these guys feets. They they're not using
• 53:03
  scientific, scientific padding and and trying to calculate what
• 53:09
  weight fits better on this guy's foot than that guy's foot or
• 53:13
  that woman's foot. No, it's not like that.
• 53:16
  What they do now is they custom make the shoe.
• 53:19
  They make it even cheaper than they did in those days because
• 53:24
  they're really and women basketball shoes becoming low
• 53:26
  tops. I don't remember.
• 53:27
  I'm going to explain something to you.
• 53:28
  I'm going to give you I'm going to give you my theory here and
• 53:31
  I'm going to teach you a little bit about sneakers that some
• 53:33
  people, if you're not a sneaker head, you wouldn't even know
• 53:37
  when you buy sneakers. Now you're buying, you're buying
• 53:40
  a Yanis sneaker because you want to play basketball and you want
• 53:42
  to use the sneaker. Yanis wears it.
• 53:44
  I want to wear it right. You go out and buy a Yanis shoe
• 53:47
  right now, the the pressure that it has on your ankles, you can't
• 53:52
  wear it. It it, it puts too much
• 53:55
  pressure. And guess what?
• 53:56
  It's lighter. It's a lighter sneaker, so it's
• 53:59
  not heavy. So here's here, here's what
• 54:02
  happens when you have a lighter sneaker.
• 54:03
  You roll your ankles or you tear your Achilles because there's
• 54:08
  more pressure on the part of your ankle to the the top of
• 54:12
  your Achilles then the sneakers that were made in the 90s when
• 54:17
  it was more built for the, the flat part of your, your foot or
• 54:22
  they had weight and paired behind it.
• 54:24
  It was very well built on the, on the calf end of the shoe.
• 54:29
  OK, that and, and you could see it.
• 54:31
  I could show you right now the difference between if you had a
• 54:35
  if you went and bought an Anthony Hardaway sneaker.
• 54:39
  Penny was a very popular player for the Orlando Magic and he had
• 54:43
  those air. Remember a sneaker, the Air on
• 54:45
  the side of it. OK, like the Nike went like
• 54:48
  this, like that little Nike, it had air.
• 54:51
  Yep, it had all different. He had all different styles.
• 54:53
  OK, here's the thing. I have.
• 54:56
  His old sneaker and I have his new sneaker that they redid in
• 55:02
  the now in from from the 90s all the way to the 2000 twenties.
• 55:06
  That's that's like 30 something years.
• 55:08
  They're significantly different in many different ways.
• 55:12
  The weight, the padding on the inside, they're lighter, so it's
• 55:16
  more pressure on the calf end and the ankle end of the sneaker
• 55:22
  when you try to jump and you try to run with them.
• 55:24
  So what does this tell me? And I'm I'm going to give you
• 55:26
  guys my thought on why the Achilles are happening in the
• 55:29
  NBA. It's the sneaker, it's Nike,
• 55:32
  it's Reebok now with Shaquille O'Neal and Allen Iverson.
• 55:36
  It's Converse, it's Adidas. It's all these basketball
• 55:41
  sneakers that are coming out and they're they're buying these
• 55:44
  players in and ask him, hey, you know, we're going to pay you
• 55:46
  $170 million to wear our shoe and we're going to make a shoe
• 55:51
  just for you. These.
• 55:53
  Players are now going out there and wearing their own shoe.
• 55:57
  Yes, they're made for them. Yes, they're made for them to
• 56:00
  show off and and obviously bring to the forefront so they can
• 56:04
  sell a million of them. They're wearing a shoe that was
• 56:07
  defined to fit them and lighter because they were wearing those
• 56:11
  sneakers when they were younger. The sneakers were heavier built
• 56:15
  better look. Hey, I got one for for you guys
• 56:17
  to remember. Remember Williamson?
• 56:20
  Oh yeah. Remember that.
• 56:21
  Remember him when he played do Scandal?
• 56:23
  Yeah, like he tried to stop and his whole soul fell.
• 56:25
  Whole soul fell off. Why do you think the soul fell
• 56:28
  off, guys? Because when?
• 56:30
  Because he's not a normal sized human being.
• 56:32
  The sneakers. The sneakers.
• 56:34
  No, no, no, that's not Yeah, the sneakers were.
• 56:38
  The sneakers are lighter now and now these guys are much bigger,
• 56:42
  much faster, much more athletic. So when they're like stopping on
• 56:46
  a dime, you're stopping on a dime.
• 56:48
  You're, you have like a A270260 pound man, athletically gifted
• 56:54
  stopping. What do you think is going to
• 56:55
  happen to a light shoe that doesn't have the right seam or
• 56:59
  it's not as tight as of a seam as they've made in the 90s and
• 57:03
  very well built. The sneakers in the 90s and the
• 57:05
  80s are so much better than the sneaker now, much better.
• 57:09
  You could see the difference. It's because of the sneakers.
• 57:13
  I believe the NBA has a problem. The NBA needs to look into how
• 57:18
  Nike. Is building.
• 57:20
  These sneakers, they're using these science, this science
• 57:23
  stuff that they're calculating with and they have these
• 57:28
  computers and the computers are telling.
• 57:29
  Computers can't tell you everything.
• 57:31
  You got to go out there and you got to wear the sneaker and you
• 57:34
  got to practice and, and, and use it numerous amount of times.
• 57:37
  How many players wear the same sneaker the next game?
• 57:41
  Honestly, not many. They give away half the time.
• 57:44
  Kobe Bryant actually, and this is the truth.
• 57:47
  Kobe Bryant came out and said that every single game, actually
• 57:51
  every single, every first and fourth quarter.
• 57:55
  He changed his sneakers in every single game of his career.
• 57:59
  Think about that. Think about how many sneakers
• 58:02
  Kobe Bryant went through in his how many years of playing NBA
• 58:07
  basketball? Almost 2020 years.
• 58:09
  I bet he didn't do that his whole career.
• 58:10
  I bet he figured it out after he's no.
• 58:13
  Popular enough where he could have done that, he said.
• 58:15
  That he wore a different sneaker in the 1st and 4th I've seen
• 58:19
  I've seen an interview that he had and the guy asked him he
• 58:22
  said how many sneakers do you go by and go through every single
• 58:25
  year in an NBA season? He says, I don't know, I, I use
• 58:28
  two different sneakers and every single game.
• 58:30
  And he says in the first and fourth quarter, and he explained
• 58:33
  why there was a story on why Kobe Bryant, I don't know if it
• 58:37
  was high school or middle school when he was playing basketball,
• 58:40
  but he wears different sneakers in the first in, in, in every
• 58:45
  single game. So my point here is there is, I
• 58:50
  think there's an interesting argument and and really an
• 58:54
  interesting debate where the NBA has got to stop making excuses
• 58:58
  because of the minutes and all that other stuff.
• 58:59
  It's just like baseball with the UCL.
• 59:01
  Well, all these different scouts and all these different
• 59:05
  executives are trying to figure out why the UCL is tearing as
• 59:09
  much as it has over the years when you're not going to get a
• 59:11
  definite answer. Because guys like Max Scherzer
• 59:15
  came out and explained the scientific understanding on what
• 59:18
  you shouldn't be doing as a youth, as a pitcher.
• 59:22
  I'm just speaking the truth here.
• 59:23
  There's a reason there's a mathematical equation here.
• 59:27
  And the math here only spells one thing to me.
• 59:31
  It's the sneaker. It is the sneaker on the reason
• 59:35
  why. Let's go look at the the
• 59:36
  Achilles tears. What?
• 59:38
  What does Durant wear? What kind of sneakers does
• 59:40
  Durant? I thought he was a Nike.
• 59:41
  Guy OK. All right, Klay Thompson, what
• 59:44
  sneaker does he wear? I'm pretty sure it's a Nike.
• 59:47
  I I'm just, I'm pretty sure. Just don't quote me on this, but
• 59:50
  I'm pretty sure Hal Burton, what kind of sneaker does he wear?
• 59:54
  He was a Nike. He's a Nike.
• 59:55
  OK, here comes the math here. If you look at the the
• 1:00:01
  calculations now, Kobe Bryant was not Nike.
• 1:00:05
  Adidas. To.
• 1:00:05
  Star he was. Adidas and then he moved to Nike
• 1:00:08
  and where did where did when he tore his Achilles?
• 1:00:11
  What was he wearing? A Nike sneaker?
• 1:00:15
  So think about this now, I'm not blaming Nike.
• 1:00:17
  Nike, don't kill me on this. I'm not trying to get sued here.
• 1:00:22
  I think that the NBA needs to start to investigate what and
• 1:00:28
  how they're building these sneakers for these players.
• 1:00:30
  If they expect these players to not miss as much time as they're
• 1:00:34
  going to and maybe not even be the same player.
• 1:00:36
  You're talking about two of the biggest stars, 3 of the biggest
• 1:00:39
  stars in the NBA. Damian Lillard, who's been a
• 1:00:41
  big, huge superstar player for forever.
• 1:00:45
  Jason Tatum is one of the best power forwards in the NBA.
• 1:00:49
  He was wearing. Jordans, I just look up the
• 1:00:50
  image, OK? He went down and then who's the
• 1:00:54
  other one that that went down? Tyrese Halpern.
• 1:00:56
  You can argue he's the most athletically gifted point guard
• 1:01:00
  in the NBA. So think about that.
• 1:01:03
  And they're all with her Nike sneakers practically.
• 1:01:06
  That's scary. And now again, I'm not saying
• 1:01:09
  this is just Nike and I'm fans. I'm not blaming Nike and
• 1:01:13
  throwing Nike under the bus. I'm not doing that.
• 1:01:15
  I just think that it's the sneaker.
• 1:01:19
  It's not the court. The courts the same.
• 1:01:21
  It always is. What, are they putting new wax
• 1:01:23
  on it? Are you kidding me?
• 1:01:25
  It's not the court. It's not the practices.
• 1:01:29
  They're actually, to me, they're babied more than they ever have
• 1:01:32
  been. So don't blame the practices.
• 1:01:34
  Michael Jordan used to practice all day long and they're playing
• 1:01:36
  an NBA game and he played a practice like an NBA game,
• 1:01:41
  Magic, dealing with somebody like that, ruthless and crazy
• 1:01:44
  like Michael Jordan. I'm just.
• 1:01:46
  Speaking the truth here, he'd also go play 36 holes and then
• 1:01:50
  drop 50 on you. Well, that's true too.
• 1:01:53
  That's true too. And also how about this doing an
• 1:01:55
  all nighter and going gambling and winning a couple of hands
• 1:01:58
  and then and going and playing in a playoff NBA game and
• 1:02:01
  scoring 50. So I I've heard stories like
• 1:02:04
  that with M55 and telling everyone he had the flu yes,
• 1:02:08
  that's another one. Gambling in Atlantic City till
• 1:02:09
  3:00 in the morning. That was another one.
• 1:02:11
  I've heard that story too. So my, my facts.
• 1:02:14
  Damian Lillard was wearing Adidas, Yes, Yeah.
• 1:02:16
  But I'm just saying, if you look at the numbers, the numbers we
• 1:02:20
  tell you over the years, they have been Nike shoes more than
• 1:02:24
  any other shoe. Now, again, Nike's the most
• 1:02:26
  popular brand. I know everybody's going to say,
• 1:02:27
  well, Nike's a popular brand. So the fact here is I, I'm just
• 1:02:33
  speaking the truth here. How many, how many college
• 1:02:37
  players have torn their Achilles in the NCAA?
• 1:02:40
  It's not really a young guy injuries.
• 1:02:43
  Exactly. You just gave the answer to my
• 1:02:46
  equation here. It's not.
• 1:02:48
  But also young college. Now they're making it for your
• 1:02:51
  foot, Yes, but you know, I mentioned that to you.
• 1:02:54
  It's like insoles, but not not the shoe per SE.
• 1:02:56
  I guess you know. What what the thing that I was
• 1:02:59
  saying is like in for like football and at least Division
• 1:03:01
  One football, all the offensive lineman have those double leg
• 1:03:04
  braces on to prevent some kind of knee injury because they get
• 1:03:08
  rolled up on all the time. Why NBA players or college
• 1:03:12
  players even don't have custom orthotics in every single
• 1:03:17
  sneaker that they wear when they're going on to a court is
• 1:03:20
  beyond me. Why the team or maybe the league
• 1:03:23
  is or however they should do it. I don't know why you wouldn't do
• 1:03:26
  that to protect your investment. It makes no sense to me.
• 1:03:28
  That's why that's why I think the LJA should be looking and
• 1:03:32
  investigating in these sneaker situations.
• 1:03:34
  I, I'm not saying that these sneakers are made to hurt these
• 1:03:37
  guys. I don't think they're purposely
• 1:03:39
  doing it, but the way they're designing these sneakers because
• 1:03:42
  they wanted to sell in stores and how and remember, they're
• 1:03:46
  not going to make, they want to make it as cheap as possible and
• 1:03:48
  sell it for most so they can make the most profits.
• 1:03:51
  It wasn't like that in the 90s. If you look at the Air Ones and
• 1:03:55
  you look at the Air Ones that they remade in different colors,
• 1:03:58
  they're completely different sneakers.
• 1:04:00
  That's why the first Air Ones, if you have a good pair of them,
• 1:04:03
  they're worth like 15 grand. If they're in good shape, if
• 1:04:07
  you're born an Air One, right now, they're not even worth 100.
• 1:04:10
  OK. And I probably would.
• 1:04:11
  Imagine there like at least like five times the amount of players
• 1:04:14
  that have their own sneakers now compared to the back then and
• 1:04:16
  everybody. Says, well it's because of the
• 1:04:18
  age. This is not wine, ladies and
• 1:04:19
  gentlemen, OK, it's not about fine wine.
• 1:04:22
  I'm telling you guys factual information for a guy that's a
• 1:04:26
  sneaker head and no sneakers. I know sneakers I know sneakers
• 1:04:30
  better than anybody. Definitely in this in the studio
• 1:04:33
  with Speedy and everybody on here.
• 1:04:34
  I I know Jabba probably has a lot of sneakers and probably.
• 1:04:36
  More than all our guys, I've been a.
• 1:04:38
  Sneaker collector since I was 14, 15 years old.
• 1:04:41
  I I know Jabba's a hat collector.
• 1:04:43
  I know he's collecting hats forever.
• 1:04:45
  I remember, you see, Jabba, I listen.
• 1:04:47
  You think I don't listen to you? I remember what you said about
• 1:04:49
  your hat collection. And I'm a hat collector.
• 1:04:51
  I don't think I have one pair of Nikes, though.
• 1:04:53
  OK, I can. I'm an Adidas.
• 1:04:57
  Maybe maybe that's why you didn't tear your Achilles.
• 1:05:00
  I do have a different theory on what what could be the Achilles
• 1:05:04
  issue, And I talked to you about it earlier.
• 1:05:05
  Also, Errol, that one of the biggest moves that's come into
• 1:05:08
  the game in the past decade. Really kind of starting with
• 1:05:11
  James Harden is the step back, right?
• 1:05:13
  And when you do the step back, you're end up putting your bot,
• 1:05:16
  your one of your legs out of the frame of your body.
• 1:05:19
  Now, when I coach football, if a lineman does that, I tell him
• 1:05:22
  he's false stepping and he's stepping backwards to go
• 1:05:25
  forward. So you push off by really just
• 1:05:28
  extending your your calf at maximum effort.
• 1:05:31
  And that's how you go forward. So when you step back to do
• 1:05:35
  that, you're doing that in reverse action in basketball.
• 1:05:37
  Every single one of these Achilles injuries that you see,
• 1:05:41
  it's from that foot being outside of the frame of the
• 1:05:43
  body. Whether we're talking about
• 1:05:45
  Jason Tatum diving for that ball and pushing off the ground or
• 1:05:48
  we're talking about Halliburton trying to do kind of like, you
• 1:05:51
  know, stepping around, doing a fancy move with the ball, kind
• 1:05:55
  of doing a step back or at least part of a step back in that
• 1:05:58
  process. I even talk about Dre Greenlaw
• 1:06:01
  hopping up and doing that exact same motion trying to run onto
• 1:06:04
  the field in the second-half. Extending the calf away from
• 1:06:07
  that has something to do with turf.
• 1:06:08
  I, I do believe it's not the turf.
• 1:06:10
  It's just like the way the body mechanics.
• 1:06:12
  They, they said the Raiders, that the turf over there is one
• 1:06:15
  of the worst when it comes to new stadiums in all of the NFL.
• 1:06:19
  Yeah. And I, I listen, I, I know
• 1:06:22
  everybody's going to go and they're going to say, what do
• 1:06:23
  you know about this? You don't know anything.
• 1:06:25
  You're talking. You shouldn't be on radio and
• 1:06:28
  kiss my ass. Ladies and gentlemen, I'll give
• 1:06:30
  you what I have to say. And you can eat it, suck it and
• 1:06:33
  dish it out. The speedies dog Jack, right?
• 1:06:36
  Is his name Jack Jake? Jake.
• 1:06:37
  There it is. I'm trying to help here, but
• 1:06:40
  here's the facts. You have to look at the
• 1:06:42
  situation for what it is Now, NBA players aren't wearing
• 1:06:45
  cleats, are they? But guess what?
• 1:06:47
  There are Nike cleats out there, are they not?
• 1:06:50
  They're making cleats. They're and again, a lot of
• 1:06:53
  these players like Patrick Mahomes.
• 1:06:54
  Patrick Mahomes has his own custom made cleat.
• 1:06:57
  By who? Nike.
• 1:06:59
  So what I'm trying to say here is it's not Nike's fault.
• 1:07:04
  I'm not blaming Nike. I'm not.
• 1:07:06
  I'm not going to get myself into trouble.
• 1:07:07
  I think Nike is the best when it comes to sneakers and all of
• 1:07:12
  sneaker collections. I'm going to tell you this right
• 1:07:14
  now. They're my favorite.
• 1:07:15
  From top to bottom, Nike's my favorite.
• 1:07:18
  The fact is because Nike is a multibillion dollar, trillion
• 1:07:23
  dollar organization, I do believe that they're just trying
• 1:07:27
  to scout up and and grab all the top players in professional
• 1:07:31
  sports, including basketball and give them what they want, their
• 1:07:35
  own designer shoe, their own colors that they want so they
• 1:07:38
  can sell as many as they possibly can and not care about
• 1:07:41
  the making of the shoe and the player that's playing in them.
• 1:07:45
  I have I've said this and it's a big problem and and the LJA as
• 1:07:49
  an organization needs to get LeBron James in on it.
• 1:07:53
  He needs to use his security and everything that he does with
• 1:07:57
  Rich Paul to to sneak away and figure out what Nike, Adidas,
• 1:08:02
  Converse and all these companies are doing when they're making
• 1:08:05
  these sneakers. That's all I'm saying.
• 1:08:07
  Yeah, it's interesting because I think for the sake of Achilles
• 1:08:09
  injuries in general, like there's not really other factors
• 1:08:12
  you can blame the same way like you can with football with the
• 1:08:15
  turf, Like, what is it? I mean, seriously, if it's
• 1:08:17
  different, if it's not the sneakers, what is it?
• 1:08:20
  Yeah, because there's nothing. On the court, that's distinctly
• 1:08:21
  different in any way. It's not like even a baseball
• 1:08:23
  tour. You have different ballparks,
• 1:08:25
  different hybrid turf surfaces as well, and different types of
• 1:08:28
  dirt as well. And I think football, college
• 1:08:31
  football too, is the same problem when they're switching
• 1:08:33
  to playing in NFL stadiums a lot of the time.
• 1:08:35
  But basketball, you not like the painter.
• 1:08:37
  The world is any different. That's what you're saying.
• 1:08:40
  You know. You know what the common refrain
• 1:08:43
  is? Of course.
• 1:08:44
  It's too many games I don't play, too many games, playing
• 1:08:47
  too close. Yeah, the Celtics.
• 1:08:48
  This do very good at low managing their stars and it's
• 1:08:51
  helped them in years past stay healthy.
• 1:08:53
  So you can't really blame that one thing for Tatum's injury.
• 1:08:56
  The same way you would say if one of the Knicks players had it
• 1:08:59
  with what bad injury like that because Tom Thibodeau wore out
• 1:09:01
  the players or one of those types of teams like the Celtics
• 1:09:04
  actually did a really good job at for the last few years load
• 1:09:07
  managing. That's why, besides I think one
• 1:09:09
  year, the regular season like it went total wasn't like insane
• 1:09:13
  because Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum were low managing and I
• 1:09:16
  don't think the Pacers really worth doing that kind of thing
• 1:09:18
  with Halliburton either where he was trying to work him too much.
• 1:09:21
  It was just more of like, all right, it took a while for the
• 1:09:24
  season to get going. The Pacers are the seven C at
• 1:09:26
  the All Star break type thing. Well.
• 1:09:28
  It's the calf injury, right? Like we should talk about that
• 1:09:30
  before we finish. This is these calf injuries.
• 1:09:33
  They're not minor. Even if you feel good enough to
• 1:09:36
  play on, if they shoot you up with enough that you feel fine,
• 1:09:39
  Let's face it, Halliburton was playing great after until he had
• 1:09:44
  that injury in that game, he probably felt like 1,000,000
• 1:09:47
  bucks. He said he felt like 1,000,000
• 1:09:48
  bucks and then it was gone. If you remember the game before,
• 1:09:51
  he wasn't a primary ball handler in that game.
• 1:09:54
  He facilitated in Game 6 after he tweaked it the first time,
• 1:09:57
  right? So they really should have
• 1:10:00
  played him the exact same way in Game 7.
• 1:10:03
  But really he was doing all these fancy footwork things.
• 1:10:06
  And if you do too much on that calf, if you make the calf the
• 1:10:09
  primary muscle you're pushing off of, I mean, Jabba, you know,
• 1:10:12
  this is a picture. You've got to engage your
• 1:10:14
  glutes. You got to engage all four
• 1:10:15
  muscles of your quad. The calf shouldn't be the
• 1:10:18
  primary muscle you're pushing off on.
• 1:10:20
  You're going to hurt yourself if you're doing that right.
• 1:10:22
  It's we like all the way we. Yeah, if we do it in a weird way
• 1:10:27
  that that usually not as our main one.
• 1:10:29
  Yeah. That's that's kind of when you
• 1:10:30
  get hurt. And it's always like when you
• 1:10:32
  and it's kind of cliche, but. As.
• 1:10:35
  As athletes and as coaches, it's like, yeah, you're trying to
• 1:10:38
  push you something, but something has to give because
• 1:10:41
  you're compensating because you already know it sucks.
• 1:10:44
  So you're. Trying to like not make it hurt
• 1:10:47
  and then you end up hurting something else that's not even
• 1:10:50
  hurt because you're compensating and doing things the way your
• 1:10:53
  body's not normally used to doing it.
• 1:10:56
  I also don't think it's the step back thing theory that you have.
• 1:11:00
  I'm not saying I'm not to attacking what you believe and
• 1:11:02
  maybe you have some kind of argument to it.
• 1:11:06
  Again, Michael Jordan was the king of doing that.
• 1:11:08
  Keema Lajawan was the king of doing that.
• 1:11:11
  Did they ever tear their Achilles?
• 1:11:12
  No, Well, I mean, Jordan was doing a fade away.
• 1:11:15
  It's a little different than this.
• 1:11:16
  I mean, I'm thinking about the James Carl Malone back, you
• 1:11:19
  know, calm alone, calm alone. I mean, he did a lot of step
• 1:11:21
  back jump shots. They're they're look, Larry Bird
• 1:11:24
  did did it the most. I would say before this common
• 1:11:27
  error. Larry Bird constantly would just
• 1:11:29
  do a jab at a guy, step back and just talk shit and drain it in
• 1:11:33
  the guy's face. But none of that looked as
• 1:11:36
  dynamic as some of what these Dirk Nowinski doing right now.
• 1:11:40
  Who did that? You know, what's that?
• 1:11:41
  I'm sorry. Dirk Nowinski was another one
• 1:11:43
  that did that step back, jump, jump.
• 1:11:45
  Dirk did did a like a version of it where he was just so tall and
• 1:11:48
  he kind of like used his other leg to shield his body.
• 1:11:51
  Never tore his Achilles. He never did.
• 1:11:54
  And it's really interest, like the young guys tearing it, they
• 1:11:57
  got to do something. I think there's a combination of
• 1:12:00
  factors. I don't know if it's the games.
• 1:12:02
  I would be willing to bet what you're saying with the sneakers
• 1:12:04
  has a ton of validity because you know that companies are
• 1:12:07
  selling sneakers to make money, not for safety reasons.
• 1:12:10
  And remember how long? Remember how long it took them
• 1:12:13
  to make a prototype in those days?
• 1:12:16
  I'm not talking about the Jordan ones, which they made a
• 1:12:19
  prototype right away because they knew they had to draw
• 1:12:21
  Michael Jordan to come in And he didn't want to play.
• 1:12:23
  He didn't want anything to do with Nike.
• 1:12:26
  He wanted to go to Converse or Adidas.
• 1:12:29
  That's where. But if you know, you watch that
• 1:12:31
  movie, the Matt Damon, Ben Affleck movie, fantastic movie.
• 1:12:33
  And a lot of the story isn't true, by the way, but some of it
• 1:12:37
  is. And it's a great story because
• 1:12:38
  the guy that really discovered Michael Jordan is the same guy
• 1:12:41
  that argued he was the front runner for the NIL deals,
• 1:12:44
  believe it or not, if you guys don't know that.
• 1:12:46
  So I'm just saying when I'm looking at sneakers and I look
• 1:12:51
  at the defining, building a block that they're trying to
• 1:12:55
  sell out there to the fan, they're only selling the look.
• 1:12:59
  They're not selling the comfortability.
• 1:13:01
  They're not selling. That's why, if you notice, why
• 1:13:04
  did Yeezys, the Yeezys when they came out, remember the Kanye
• 1:13:08
  West, they were selling for like 5-6, seven, $100.
• 1:13:11
  People were spending that kind of money for Yeezys and now
• 1:13:15
  you're obviously his problem with over the years with Adidas,
• 1:13:18
  he's there's no more Yeezys or you can you can only get fake
• 1:13:21
  ones, replicated ones. But what I'm trying to say is
• 1:13:24
  they were made very, very well. If you put a Yeezy on and you
• 1:13:27
  put a regular sneak on, you could see the difference on the
• 1:13:30
  the protection of your feet and the pad and and the way you know
• 1:13:34
  how they define the product. So people would want to buy
• 1:13:37
  them. When you look at this, they were
• 1:13:39
  they. Were comfortable.
• 1:13:40
  Yes. They're looking at these
• 1:13:41
  sneakers, the Nike sneakers they're they're sensational to
• 1:13:45
  look at, not very comfortable to wear when you're walking Michael
• 1:13:48
  Jordan's. They're not comfortable until
• 1:13:50
  you build them in and it takes a while to build in.
• 1:13:53
  They hurt the hell out of your feet and you always got to get
• 1:13:56
  it one bigger size. And this is a tip for all you
• 1:13:59
  fans out there. If you like Jordan ones and
• 1:14:01
  they're the, to me, the most popular and the ones that I
• 1:14:03
  would tell you to get, if you're going to get Jordan's with the
• 1:14:06
  colors, you have to get a size or half a size bigger depending
• 1:14:10
  on the sneaker. If they're obviously the Jordan,
• 1:14:14
  you know, high tops, I would get a size bigger.
• 1:14:17
  If they're low tops, I would get a half a size bigger.
• 1:14:20
  I'm telling you guys, I've been wearing sneakers my whole life.
• 1:14:23
  I'm like the king of understanding what hurts and
• 1:14:26
  what doesn't. I'm just telling you, I believe
• 1:14:29
  the factual thought of what the NBA needs to look into is the
• 1:14:33
  sneaker and the way it is, is built and as fast as it it's
• 1:14:38
  built by just looking at science and trying to define on how and
• 1:14:43
  why it would be a good product to sell.
• 1:14:46
  When it comes to the player, I I don't like it and I I think the
• 1:14:50
  NBA just needs to figure that out.
• 1:14:52
  That's just my opinion. That's it.
• 1:14:54
  I I, it's sad. I want to mention.
• 1:14:56
  The difference as well, we've seen a lot of like you saying
• 1:14:58
  exposed and I say I'm. Sorry to cut you off.
• 1:15:00
  It's I say it's sad because everybody's going to say, what
• 1:15:02
  the hell are you talking about? You don't know what you're
• 1:15:04
  talking about. It's sad because that is the
• 1:15:07
  only reason why the I believe that these Achilles problems are
• 1:15:12
  still more defined or still trying.
• 1:15:14
  We're trying to find answers behind it.
• 1:15:16
  That's all I'm saying. That's why I said, but guys,
• 1:15:17
  yeah, I was going to say there's.
• 1:15:18
  Not really also a positional split in terms of what we've
• 1:15:21
  seen because a lot of the big men, a lot of the big men we've
• 1:15:23
  seen in recent years have had Achilles injuries to DeMarcus
• 1:15:26
  Cousin was a big one. I think Andre Drummond as well,
• 1:15:28
  another big one that had that. Now you're seeing it recently,
• 1:15:30
  like both of them. Wearing Nike, yeah, and now
• 1:15:33
  you're. Seeing it with these with these
• 1:15:34
  guards to Tatum's a bigger wing that's dribbled the ball all up
• 1:15:37
  a lot now too. So again, there's no distinct
• 1:15:39
  theory on if it's ball handling, it's even intensity like fish.
• 1:15:42
  You were saying like Halliburton made a move, try to try to
• 1:15:45
  stretch it on a dribble too. Like again, we've also seen
• 1:15:48
  these power players tear their Achilles the same way too.
• 1:15:50
  And maybe the big man is probably what you were saying is
• 1:15:53
  the analogy with the offensive line of football.
• 1:15:55
  And maybe it's the same kind of motion and and.
• 1:15:57
  And I attacked Nike again on this segment, not for them to
• 1:16:01
  hate me because my favorite sneaker is Nike and I would not
• 1:16:04
  pick any sneaker over Nike out of all the sneakers that I buy.
• 1:16:08
  I've I have Yeezys, I have every single sneaker you can name
• 1:16:11
  Adidas Converse. I wouldn't buy any sneaker over
• 1:16:16
  Nike, but there's just something behind this that maybe the LJA
• 1:16:21
  needs to investigate. Hey, why don't they send Carmelo
• 1:16:24
  Anthony and Chris Paul? I think they'd be good
• 1:16:26
  investigators. Could you imagine those two guys
• 1:16:28
  as a comedy? That would be a comedy watching.
• 1:16:31
  Carmelo Anthony is 6 foot 8 and Chris Paul, who's like 6 to come
• 1:16:35
  into your building and say I'd like to see all the paperwork on
• 1:16:38
  that sneaker. Carmelo Anthony.
• 1:16:40
  Shoe detective, is that what you're getting out?
• 1:16:41
  Let me. Try We're going to just walk.
• 1:16:43
  Around with like glasses of wine the whole time and I'm just like
• 1:16:47
  sipping on it smoking cigars. Melo was a Jordan guy.
• 1:16:51
  What was CP3? He wasn't a Jordan guy he hold
• 1:16:55
  on hold on I think he got he just signed for his 21st year
• 1:16:58
  Chris Paul. I think he's was he Nike?
• 1:17:00
  I think Chris Paul was Nike too. I I thought he had his own shoe.
• 1:17:04
  He's Jordan. He's.
• 1:17:05
  Jordan, he's, he has Nike. Too.
• 1:17:06
  He's Jordan, too. Yeah.
• 1:17:08
  Dwyane Wade, I think was Jordan, too, if I'm not mistaken.
• 1:17:11
  No, Dwyane Wade, was he? Actually, I, I mentioned this in
• 1:17:14
  the chat. Carter, his senior year, he
• 1:17:17
  started making his own shoe Way of wades out of China.
• 1:17:19
  Oh, OK. Wow.
• 1:17:20
  OK. How'd that go?
• 1:17:21
  Oh, and that was something else I wanted to say before we get
• 1:17:23
  on, too, because we're still waiting for our guest.
• 1:17:26
  I I wanted to say one more thing.
• 1:17:27
  Star berries. Remember when those things came
• 1:17:29
  out? The dollar sneakers.
• 1:17:31
  Like, he's a legend over there, man.
• 1:17:33
  This and to this and I told this to fish too for all you guys to
• 1:17:37
  understand why everybody made fun of strawberries.
• 1:17:40
  Ah, that was like crappy sneakers.
• 1:17:41
  They were so very well built that I bought a ton of if I was
• 1:17:46
  a basketball player when I played basketball when I was a
• 1:17:48
  kid, I would go out and buy a bunch of pairs of strawberries
• 1:17:52
  because one, they're made for basketball, they're good on your
• 1:17:55
  ankles, lot of padding and I played very well with them Yes,
• 1:17:59
  they broke. Yes, they ripped.
• 1:18:00
  Yes, they tear very fast. There were a buck I would rather
• 1:18:04
  spend a buck on a good pair and not an ugly pair of sneakers
• 1:18:08
  that I could play some ball with then going out and spending $200
• 1:18:12
  on a sneaker that honestly is hurting my foot even though it
• 1:18:16
  looks good and bothering certain, you know, aspects of my
• 1:18:21
  future when it comes to walking, working, or even getting a
• 1:18:25
  chance to run with my kid in the future.
• 1:18:27
  I, I Nikes, Nikes have been a big problem and, and, and
• 1:18:31
  beating a man or wearing a man is so very hard to, to do
• 1:18:34
  because you have to wear them consistently and it hurts your
• 1:18:36
  feet. So did you say is, is those and
• 1:18:39
  one joints in your collection? Yes, I have, I have a pair of N
• 1:18:41
  ones. Yes, first pair, first pair.
• 1:18:44
  I don't, I don't collect any of it.
• 1:18:45
  Now they're selling Walmarts and I'll tell you this, women can
• 1:18:50
  find some nice stuff in Walmart. Guys, if you shop at Walmart,
• 1:18:54
  shame on you. Shame on you.
• 1:18:57
  They've got some good. Themed shirts, like someones you
• 1:19:00
  can just wear once for like an outing.
• 1:19:02
  Yeah, because if you try to wash.
• 1:19:03
  Oh yeah, they become like a crop top.
• 1:19:05
  Yeah, they have like N1 had the best shorts back in the day.
• 1:19:09
  They don't make them anymore the way they used to.
• 1:19:11
  They were like the first ones with pockets.
• 1:19:13
  They had pockets. They were the they were
• 1:19:15
  absolutely the best basketball shirts.
• 1:19:16
  I don't know why they changed up their the way they make them,
• 1:19:18
  but it's a lot cheaper and kind of ratty now.
• 1:19:21
  I don't think N1's the same quality they used to be, if
• 1:19:23
  they're even still owned by the same people.
• 1:19:25
  It's pretty cool when you're trying to figure out or argue a
• 1:19:30
  point that everybody's going to have their own opinion by and
• 1:19:33
  probably nobody's ever used that opinion like I, I've, and that's
• 1:19:38
  what makes it unique. And Fish came to me and he asked
• 1:19:41
  me, well, how would you attack this?
• 1:19:42
  I think it's a sneaker and he says why?
• 1:19:45
  And then I I gave him my take to it and he says that I've never
• 1:19:49
  heard anything like that before. This would be a great topic to
• 1:19:52
  argue and I just I feel like. The N.
• 1:19:56
  BALJ, whatever you want to call it, they they're not.
• 1:20:00
  They're, they're looking at the, the big picture.
• 1:20:02
  Yes, it's bringing in money. It's in.
• 1:20:04
  They're endorsing so many great players.
• 1:20:06
  And future Hall of Farmers, what they're not doing is protecting
• 1:20:10
  those assets as they move forward in their careers.
• 1:20:14
  And you expect them to be the face of your product?
• 1:20:17
  Because think about it, how many guys could you tell me right now
• 1:20:21
  in the NBA in five years is going to be better than Tyrese
• 1:20:24
  Hall? Burton, how many?
• 1:20:27
  This guy's 2223 years old. He's not.
• 1:20:30
  He's 25, still young. He's not even in prime 25.
• 1:20:34
  You said the face the face of basketball.
• 1:20:37
  No, I didn't. Halbert Cooper Flag.
• 1:20:39
  Yeah, Cooper Flag is going to be the face of the NBA in USA
• 1:20:43
  Basketball. I do.
• 1:20:44
  We think he's going to be one of them.
• 1:20:45
  I think Calbert, and he's such a young guy right now and he
• 1:20:48
  hasn't even fully developed. Just think about it.
• 1:20:51
  There's not many guys in the NBA like him, a stretch, 6 foot 6
• 1:20:57
  point guard. They can take the ball up, shoot
• 1:20:59
  the ball and do so many things, rebound, pass.
• 1:21:03
  I mean, this guy, he's just a a way better version.
• 1:21:07
  And I know people might think of crazy of Russell Westbrook.
• 1:21:11
  That's what he is. He's a he's a better version of
• 1:21:14
  Russell Westbrook. Why?
• 1:21:15
  Because he plays defense. Russell Westbrook don't.
• 1:21:18
  That's the difference. But I, I think that this kid has
• 1:21:21
  the ability, the athletic ability to go up and down the
• 1:21:23
  court. He's so very good his and by the
• 1:21:26
  way, Russell Westbrook couldn't shoot like this guy.
• 1:21:28
  He didn't hit big shots like this guy.
• 1:21:30
  This guy last year's playoffs in every single series daggered
• 1:21:35
  every one of those teams that he beat.
• 1:21:37
  Just think about it. He daggered every one of those
• 1:21:41
  teams in Indiana. They had the hardest path to the
• 1:21:46
  NBA Finals. If you think about it too.
• 1:21:48
  Just think about it. So I, I just think when you're
• 1:21:52
  hearing it from Halpern, Alperton's not going to throw
• 1:21:54
  the NBA or sneaker contract under the bus.
• 1:21:57
  Why would he ever do that when he's making millions and
• 1:21:59
  millions of dollars and he he could get sued or he could get
• 1:22:02
  dropped by that organization? No, he's going to sit there and
• 1:22:06
  he's not going to give you an answer when everybody, if you're
• 1:22:09
  sitting here listening to us right now, any kind of answer to
• 1:22:13
  this, you would understand that the only way this could be
• 1:22:17
  happening is because of the sneaker.
• 1:22:19
  That's the. Only reason the way you land.
• 1:22:23
  How many times have you heard, Jabba, when somebody says they
• 1:22:26
  they tear their Achilles, they can't put their they can't put
• 1:22:29
  their heel on the ground. Every time they try to put the
• 1:22:32
  hair on the ground, they have shooting pains up their leg.
• 1:22:35
  How many times have you heard when you try to grab your What
• 1:22:39
  do they call this over here? Speedy?
• 1:22:40
  What do they call this? I don't even know I'm not the.
• 1:22:43
  Back of the the back of the the ankle right over there where you
• 1:22:47
  know the bone sticking out. Why do they say that when
• 1:22:50
  doctors grab that they can tell you automatically if you tore
• 1:22:54
  your Achilles because they noticed that the muscle just
• 1:22:57
  tear right off of that. So because that's where it's
• 1:22:59
  connected to, it's just to me, I, I just think that the NBA
• 1:23:04
  just for the, for the amount of money that they're making and
• 1:23:07
  they're bringing in, they should absolutely take care of the
• 1:23:09
  players that are bringing in that kind of money and making it
• 1:23:13
  an asset of a sport as we all know internationally.
• 1:23:16
  Just my thought. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:23:18
  our deuce of the day. The deuce.
• 1:23:20
  Of the day you log, not a log. I don't have a log but.
• 1:23:32
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, my deuce of the day has to go to
• 1:23:35
  the Pittsburgh Steelers, an organization that are absolutely
• 1:23:39
  out there when it comes to deciding who they're going to
• 1:23:43
  pay or who they're trading for. An organization that never went
• 1:23:47
  out there and bought a wide receiver.
• 1:23:50
  Or did they recently as they traded for one in DK Metcalf.
• 1:23:54
  An organization that has said many times over the years that
• 1:23:59
  their coaches are players coaches but one of them can't
• 1:24:03
  get out of the first round and players coaches don't really win
• 1:24:06
  games. Or the same organization that
• 1:24:10
  had the best player in the league besides a quarterback and
• 1:24:14
  waited till really camps open up to pay him.
• 1:24:19
  What does that smell? Well, it smells.
• 1:24:22
  It smells a lot like garbage dump or whatever you want to say
• 1:24:26
  and you're mixed up in one. The fact is DJ Watt has been the
• 1:24:31
  best player in the league, not a quarterback in the last three
• 1:24:35
  seasons has been untouchable. When people were comparing
• 1:24:39
  obviously Michael Parsons to him and Miles Garrett to him and all
• 1:24:43
  these pass rushes, none of them touched the numbers of this man.
• 1:24:48
  When you look at the beginning of the offseason, who got the
• 1:24:51
  money first? Myles Garrett has Myles Garrett
• 1:24:55
  as good as Myles Garrett is. And by the way, was the number
• 1:24:59
  one pick in the first round what, 5-6 seven years ago, the
• 1:25:03
  same draft as? TJ Watt, OK.
• 1:25:05
  TJ Watt, who was drafted 30. Is.
• 1:25:08
  Considered a better all around player PPR, PPF, whatever you
• 1:25:13
  want to do it al your algorithms on YouTube and all that other
• 1:25:17
  garbage. The fact that Pittsburgh waited
• 1:25:21
  this long to pay this man a three-year, 42 and a half,
• 1:25:25
  $1,000,000 contract tells me they're in a dumb organization
• 1:25:29
  and almost lost the best player they've had really since I I
• 1:25:34
  would say Ben Roethlisberger if you really ask me.
• 1:25:37
  So I it just tells me Han gets an extended contract.
• 1:25:41
  You're going to pay this guy and give him an extended contract
• 1:25:45
  for all the garbage he has put together over the last couple
• 1:25:47
  years, They haven't won anything.
• 1:25:49
  They haven't even been into an AFC title game.
• 1:25:51
  And how long this has been a joke an organization, it going
• 1:25:54
  to keep that idiot in office. To me, it only smells like crap
• 1:26:00
  and that's why I'm going to give him the deuce of the day.
• 1:26:02
  It there's no way you could sit here and tell me that this
• 1:26:06
  organization knows what they're doing and Mike Tomlin could be
• 1:26:09
  on his way out at the end of the season if he doesn't know how to
• 1:26:13
  control this worthless, no good quarterback who has come out
• 1:26:18
  numerous amount of time saying that he could still be an elite
• 1:26:21
  quarterback in the league. So that's my deuce of the day.
• 1:26:24
  Pittsburgh Steelers stupid organization even Dumber
• 1:26:28
  bringing in DK Metcalf and it's going to come back and backhand
• 1:26:31
  them right in the face. Let me guess, you guys a
• 1:26:34
  question you look at and this is just the facts here.
• 1:26:39
  They traded a wide receiver to the Cowboys, OK, And he is a
• 1:26:45
  he's a really good wide receiver.
• 1:26:46
  Couldn't control him. Mike Tomlin has always said that
• 1:26:49
  he's a player's coach, but could never control he's he's big
• 1:26:52
  personalities. Couldn't control Le'veon Bell,
• 1:26:54
  couldn't control obviously Santonio Holmes over the years,
• 1:26:59
  couldn't control any of those guys, even Antonio Brown.
• 1:27:04
  And this organization decides to trade a guy that they can't
• 1:27:08
  control for another guy that was crying and complaining in
• 1:27:11
  Seattle because he wasn't making enough.
• 1:27:15
  I mean, come on. Did that to me.
• 1:27:17
  You're just bringing in another problem.
• 1:27:19
  And then to top it all off, you're bringing the biggest
• 1:27:21
  problem and the biggest mouth in professional football.
• 1:27:24
  Ask Pat McAfee and Aaron Rodgers.
• 1:27:27
  You just really. Like that ayahuasca it it
• 1:27:29
  doesn't make. Sense.
• 1:27:30
  And now they're giving this guy Han an extended contract.
• 1:27:34
  Is that his name? Han Omar Khan.
• 1:27:36
  No, he wasn't the GM the whole time, but he again, the Steelers
• 1:27:39
  have not won a playoff game in TJ Watt's career.
• 1:27:42
  I don't care. How long he's been there, you
• 1:27:44
  give him an extension when this is an organization with all this
• 1:27:49
  talent when it comes to defense and they can't get out of the
• 1:27:52
  first round. Look at the teams that have
• 1:27:54
  beaten them over the last 8-8 years.
• 1:27:57
  They were. They were better than
• 1:27:58
  practically 5 or six of those teams, and they lost.
• 1:28:02
  Not against Buffalo. I'm not going to talk about
• 1:28:04
  that. Yeah.
• 1:28:05
  But they want 48 points to the Blake Bortles LED Jaguar.
• 1:28:09
  It's embarrassing. It is embarrassing, and I'm not
• 1:28:11
  going to sit here and beat around the Bush.
• 1:28:13
  And nobody honestly out there would actually believe that
• 1:28:17
  they're a smart organization because they're not.
• 1:28:20
  And there are not many smart organizations.
• 1:28:22
  I remember when they Pittsburgh was looked at, it was one of the
• 1:28:25
  smart ones. And so are the Giants.
• 1:28:27
  Over the last couple of years. Would you put the Giants in the
• 1:28:29
  Pittsburgh Steelers on the top? Not a chance in hell I'd put
• 1:28:33
  Philadelphia. I put Kansas City.
• 1:28:35
  Philadelphia has been a laughing stock when it came to executives
• 1:28:39
  and organizations of the way they're run.
• 1:28:41
  Look at how how they run right now.
• 1:28:43
  Yeah. The Eagles, like maybe two years
• 1:28:46
  in a row they'll, they'll be bad and they they bounce back
• 1:28:48
  quickly. The Giants have never recovered,
• 1:28:50
  no. And that you want.
• 1:28:51
  You don't want to know why. And all you giant fans, here's
• 1:28:54
  where it's going to sink really deep into your brains.
• 1:28:57
  It was a coach that won two of them that surprised the New
• 1:29:02
  England Patriots not once, but twice, and beat them undefeated.
• 1:29:06
  Tom friggin Coughlin, That was the reason why your team fell
• 1:29:13
  flat on their ass, because they decided, hey, we're not going to
• 1:29:18
  give him the defensive players we want because we want Ben
• 1:29:20
  McAdoo. Wonderful move for the New York
• 1:29:23
  Giants. Wonderful move for John Mara,
• 1:29:26
  who, by the way, was right again about Saquon Barkley.
• 1:29:29
  You're going to treat him in the same division?
• 1:29:31
  I mean, you're going to let him go to a team in the same
• 1:29:33
  division? What are you nuts?
• 1:29:35
  And what did he do? He almost broke Eric Dickerson's
• 1:29:38
  record and wins the Super Bowl and was arguably the best player
• 1:29:42
  throughout the Super Bowl of the playoffs all season long.
• 1:29:46
  So it just tells you one thing. Your owner's smart, but not
• 1:29:49
  smart enough. Don't worry, we.
• 1:29:51
  Gave Darius Slayton the same money this offseason.
• 1:29:53
  Oh yeah. Oh, that was.
• 1:29:54
  Another one. Oh what a joke.
• 1:29:56
  The guy that people and Giant fans compared to Odell Beckham.
• 1:30:00
  Maybe we started with Tyler. Harrison, what a joke.
• 1:30:02
  Oh my God, the Giants. I will say this, the quarterback
• 1:30:06
  they drafted in the first round looks pretty good.
• 1:30:08
  It looks pretty. Good.
• 1:30:09
  I've I've been watching some video and watching some footage
• 1:30:13
  about him and and what they're saying about him.
• 1:30:16
  Hey, if the Giants get a home run from him, even if they're
• 1:30:19
  wrong about the defensive line because he can't stay healthy
• 1:30:22
  from Penn State or any one of those guys, if they're right
• 1:30:25
  about that quarterback and they traded up and they got him the
• 1:30:28
  way they did and he becomes something special.
• 1:30:31
  Oh my God, yeah. Jackson Dart If if something if
• 1:30:35
  that works out for them. Oh what a freaking home run that
• 1:30:38
  is. Guess who that's.
• 1:30:39
  Going to make look bad the Steelers who also could have
• 1:30:41
  drafted him at #20 I listen, I mean.
• 1:30:44
  Dart did. His first pass in camp was a
• 1:30:47
  pick six. And what I've heard that did
• 1:30:49
  happen and what I've heard over the last couple of weeks and him
• 1:30:53
  practicing, he's the he's already the leader of that team.
• 1:30:57
  He's one of the top three leaders of that team.
• 1:30:59
  Yeah. Able actually had to come out
• 1:31:01
  and say that Wilson was the quarterback.
• 1:31:03
  Yes, because there's so much steam for Dart and he's so far
• 1:31:07
  ahead. Like in those intangible
• 1:31:08
  qualities than people realize. Well, first, we don't.
• 1:31:10
  We don't want, we don't want Jackson Dart learning leadership
• 1:31:12
  skills from Russell Wilson because we know how that went
• 1:31:14
  down. I'm just, I'm just telling you
• 1:31:16
  what I think. And I think that obviously when
• 1:31:19
  you look at the big picture and you look at the Giants, I mean,
• 1:31:23
  this, your GM has been an absolute debacle.
• 1:31:26
  But if they get it right with Jackson Dart, I mean, everything
• 1:31:30
  could go away. He could everything.
• 1:31:32
  All that goes away if Jackson Dart becomes a superstar player
• 1:31:36
  in this league. So I'm not saying that he is,
• 1:31:39
  but I've heard a lot of good things about him, you know, over
• 1:31:41
  the years, you know, when The Jets draft the quarterback, you
• 1:31:44
  hear all these mumblings are this guy's this.
• 1:31:46
  Yeah, he's not really as good as what they they say he is.
• 1:31:49
  He hasn't looked good in practice.
• 1:31:50
  Everything I've heard about Jackson Dart is he looks very
• 1:31:54
  special and he's already one of the top three team leaders of
• 1:31:58
  that giant team, even over the veterans.
• 1:32:00
  So says a lot about him and and I like the fact that he's taking
• 1:32:04
  charge and and he believes that he's going to be the, the giants
• 1:32:08
  quarterback for the future. So I, I mean, if you're a Giant
• 1:32:11
  fan, which I'm not, I can't stand the organization.
• 1:32:13
  You should be happy. We'll see if it works out for
• 1:32:14
  them. I I hope obviously our
• 1:32:17
  quarterback is the real deal and, and The Jets figure him out
• 1:32:21
  and turn him into something special.
• 1:32:22
  Carl doesn't believe so. Well, that's why Carl is
• 1:32:25
  Kniffen's worst nightmare or Kniffen is Carl's worst
• 1:32:29
  nightmare. Carl.
• 1:32:30
  Plays with himself, as we all know.
• 1:32:31
  Yeah. Because Carl's the expert.
• 1:32:33
  I know a great quarterback play as a Bears fan.
• 1:32:35
  The only team that's ever thrown 4000 yards in a season.
• 1:32:38
  Even the Browns have thrown 4000.
• 1:32:40
  Yards of the season. We all know.
• 1:32:41
  That things happen for a reason, and maybe the Giants get a slam
• 1:32:46
  dunk. If you're a Giant fan, you
• 1:32:48
  should be happy about that. As a Jet fan, I want to see them
• 1:32:50
  be pulverized. I want to see Jackson Duck
• 1:32:52
  running for his life three years from now when he plays the New
• 1:32:54
  York Jets, because that's what we pray to God.
• 1:32:57
  What's going to happen? By the way, did you hear that
• 1:32:59
  Will McDonald gained 15 lbs in the offseason?
• 1:33:04
  He looks really, really good. And a lot of different things
• 1:33:08
  that I've heard is he looks even faster than he did last year.
• 1:33:11
  As big as he is, could you imagine it was always his?
• 1:33:13
  Problem though, he was 239 coming out of the draft.
• 1:33:15
  That's why 15 lbs of. Muscle.
• 1:33:16
  That's good. Yeah, 15.
• 1:33:18
  Pounds of muscle and what I've heard through the coaching staff
• 1:33:21
  is he looks like a beast. He looked and and and they're
• 1:33:25
  saying that James Jermaine Johnson could be back a lot
• 1:33:27
  sooner than they saying that he could be at the end of the show.
• 1:33:31
  Ladies and gentlemen, it is Speedy's birthday this weekend.
• 1:33:34
  We're going to sing happy birthday.
• 1:33:35
  We're going to sing happy birthday.
• 1:33:37
  That includes you, Nathan. You better be ready.
• 1:33:39
  The little critter himself, Speedy.
• 1:33:41
  We're going to be singing Happy Birthday to the 30 year old big
• 1:33:45
  boy. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Big
• 1:33:47
  30 Nathan. Can you do bass background
• 1:33:49
  singing? I will say this.
• 1:33:51
  And I I've known Speedy since he was practically 20 years old.
• 1:33:56
  When he came to me, he was 21, almost 21.
• 1:33:59
  I'll never forget. I've known this kid for 10 years
• 1:34:01
  and he's a pain in the ass. He doesn't listen to me all the
• 1:34:04
  time, but one of the more nicest, generous personalities
• 1:34:09
  I've ever worked with and a guy that I said the lurves deserves
• 1:34:14
  a lot of accolades over the years while working with me and
• 1:34:17
  growing into the the talent that he is today.
• 1:34:19
  I, I, I take full, you know, pat on the back, Not that I, he's
• 1:34:25
  turned into the, the, the personality that he is, but a
• 1:34:28
  guy that helped him developed into the, the man that he is
• 1:34:31
  today. So I, I've respected his work
• 1:34:35
  and now I just got to respect some of the video cutting and
• 1:34:38
  some of the other stuff that he's doing.
• 1:34:39
  And he says, you know, double up on if you know what I mean.
• 1:34:42
  But nevertheless, happy birthday, Speedy.
• 1:34:44
  You deserve it. And I will sing you a happy
• 1:34:47
  birthday as I do every single year.
• 1:34:49
  It's definitely something to live about that you better be.
• 1:34:51
  Ready with the bass voice. Yes, ladies and gentle, let's go
• 1:34:55
  to a sports minute. We got a lot more to go, so
• 1:34:58
  sports minute, here we come. This.
• 1:35:01
  Is the Jabba and the Mouth sports minutes?
• 1:35:06
  All right guys, Aaron Fishman here with your sportsman.
• 1:35:10
  It got a few stories before we get into the baseball scores
• 1:35:13
  this evening. Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson did
• 1:35:16
  not report to Bengals camp as expected as Henderson refuses to
• 1:35:19
  budget on his contract demands and has taken to the media
• 1:35:22
  explaining a couple of times how the Bengals are trying to
• 1:35:25
  lowball the first team All Pro who's got 17 1/2 sacks in each
• 1:35:29
  of the last two seasons. Hendrickson has now come out and
• 1:35:33
  said he was willing to take less from the Bengals, but in the
• 1:35:36
  only two contract offers he has gotten from them they only
• 1:35:39
  guaranteed the first year of the deal where Hendrickson is
• 1:35:42
  looking for a long term commitment.
• 1:35:44
  It would seem the Bengals are pinching pennies as they are
• 1:35:47
  known to do and playing a dangerous game as their defense
• 1:35:50
  is certainly their weak point and that defense without
• 1:35:54
  Hendrickson may end up being one of the absolute worst in the NFL
• 1:35:58
  in 2025. Their next next best Ed rusher S
• 1:36:01
  round pick Shamar Stewart, who is also holding out as the
• 1:36:04
  Bengals are trying to put language in his cut rookie
• 1:36:07
  contract that would limit his guaranteed money to The Bengals
• 1:36:10
  are even bungling up slotted guarantee contracts this
• 1:36:14
  offseason. Joe Burrow and the boys look
• 1:36:16
  like they are going to have to air it out a lot in 2025.
• 1:36:19
  The fact that should garner special attention from all
• 1:36:22
  fantasy fans making their draft boards this summer.
• 1:36:26
  The. Buccaneers.
• 1:36:27
  Wide receiver Chris Godwin, who's resigned with the
• 1:36:29
  franchise on a three-year, $66 million deal with 44 million
• 1:36:33
  guaranteed this year. We'll start on the PUP list
• 1:36:36
  after his revealed Wednesday that Godwin had a second ankle
• 1:36:39
  surgery during his rehab from his dislocated ankle that cost
• 1:36:43
  him the 2024 season back in Week 7.
• 1:36:46
  Reportedly, the second surgery was just to clean out the ankle
• 1:36:49
  and a full recovery is expected. But Godwin will have to sit out
• 1:36:52
  at least the first four weeks of the season, giving some
• 1:36:55
  opportunity for rookie and Mecca Buka as well as returning second
• 1:36:59
  year receiver Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer and former Giants
• 1:37:02
  legend Sterling Shepherd, opposite of future Hall of Famer
• 1:37:06
  Mike Evans. And finally, Dolphins
• 1:37:09
  quarterback to a taggle of the Lialoa says that it is a work in
• 1:37:13
  progress for wide receiver Tyree Kill to rebuild his trust with
• 1:37:17
  the team after seemingly quitting on the squad in the
• 1:37:20
  Dolphins season finale against The Jets and touting to the
• 1:37:23
  media after that he wanted to play elsewhere.
• 1:37:25
  Hillary reconsidered and apparently never officially
• 1:37:28
  asked for a trade from Dolphins GM for his career.
• 1:37:31
  I think there's a lot of more vulnerability with Tyreek.
• 1:37:34
  He's conversating a lot more with the guys, not just about
• 1:37:37
  football, but about things off the field to a said being
• 1:37:41
  vulnerable with some of the things that people know about
• 1:37:43
  his personal life and that things of that nature.
• 1:37:45
  And I think that's the first step to him building true
• 1:37:48
  relationships and a real connection with a lot of the
• 1:37:51
  guys in there. Everyone knows what he can do on
• 1:37:53
  the field. Everyone respects you can do it
• 1:37:55
  on the field, but I think he's still trying to figure out
• 1:37:57
  things for himself as well. Everybody makes mistakes.
• 1:38:00
  It's just some people they're in a spotlight and their deals get
• 1:38:03
  pushed out more than some others.
• 1:38:07
  Phil, who did not break 1000 yards last year after eclipsing

  1700 in his first two in Miami, made more news off the field for

  various incidents than his production warranted on the

  field. This may be his last chance in

  Miami as he pulls a George Costanza and basically quits and

  I, I, I just, I'm so excited to celebrate your 30th birthday.
• 1:40:16
  Hopefully you don't throw up because every single year in the
• 1:40:20
  last three years I've taken. I.
• 1:40:23
  Have taken you out. Oh wait a second.
• 1:40:25
  One of the years on my birthday, you were hiding in the bathroom
• 1:40:27
  because you were claiming. No, you had the runs.
• 1:40:30
  I yes, I did have the runs. No, you were you weren't
• 1:40:33
  throwing up. No, I wouldn't.
• 1:40:35
  I wouldn't have kept dancing if I if I was throwing up.
• 1:40:37
  Speedy, you weren't dancing after that.
• 1:40:39
  You went to that other club in Patchogue after that and I was
• 1:40:43
  dancing. Dude, I don't remember dancing.
• 1:40:45
  Speedy, what's your drink of choice on your birthday?
• 1:40:47
  Well, that a beer. Well, I had.
• 1:40:49
  Beer, I had beer there. There were other what was the
• 1:40:51
  other drinks that we had the the the first time with the the the
• 1:40:54
  pineapple stuff was what was that the?
• 1:40:57
  The Apple. Stuff.
• 1:40:58
  Yeah, I. Don't remember the name of it.
• 1:41:00
  At Fire Island it was a rocket, something that we had a fire
• 1:41:03
  Island those other years. Rocket fuels.
• 1:41:04
  Yeah, yeah, it. Must have been those that got
• 1:41:06
  something and along with the the wings.
• 1:41:07
  Like the wings? And you were throwing up all
• 1:41:09
  over. It was.
• 1:41:10
  Yeah. That was 20. 22 That was a rock
• 1:41:12
  I had. You know, I was trying for one
• 1:41:14
  second. I told him to go to the to go go
• 1:41:16
  to the garbage and barf in the garbage because I saw it in his
• 1:41:19
  face and he was like standing at the table.
• 1:41:21
  I'm like go to the garbage. By the time he went to the
• 1:41:23
  garbage, he was throwing up all over the place, and I mean all
• 1:41:27
  over the place. You're talking about security.
• 1:41:30
  Then I had somebody come up to me, one of the security guards
• 1:41:32
  that is a friend of mine actually came up to me and told
• 1:41:34
  me, Yo, is your, your friend Hawking that girl over there?
• 1:41:38
  She came up to me and said that he, he was up, he was like
• 1:41:42
  abusing her or like it was very threatening.
• 1:41:46
  I was like, what was threatening about it?
• 1:41:47
  I didn't see anything. But she said that he was like up
• 1:41:50
  on her face, like bothering us since she said hello.
• 1:41:53
  And when he said hello, I mean, I was weird.
• 1:41:56
  I, I, I didn't know what to say and I didn't see it.
• 1:41:58
  And I was trying to protect Speedy as I always do, because,
• 1:42:02
  you know, he's like a little brother.
• 1:42:03
  He's like the little engine that could or couldn't or we're
• 1:42:07
  trying to put some, you know, oil in that edge.
• 1:42:09
  And so he could start rocking and jocking.
• 1:42:11
  If you know what. Yeah, that's that's.
• 1:42:12
  What Nathan's goal is in his life, well, it's.
• 1:42:14
  Everybody's goal. I would like to see you, you
• 1:42:16
  know, sit on somebody's face, you know?
• 1:42:18
  Yeah. And that's.
• 1:42:18
  Never going to happen with you around.
• 1:42:20
  Well, wouldn't. It be.
• 1:42:21
  Wouldn't it be the other way around?
• 1:42:22
  No, sweetie. Sweetie needs to learn how you
• 1:42:25
  know first. He's got to learn that way
• 1:42:26
  before he learns the other way. If you know, I'm not learning.
• 1:42:29
  Anything from people that you've brainwashed?
• 1:42:31
  I'm not. Braining.
• 1:42:32
  I'm not braining. I'm not brainwashing anybody.
• 1:42:35
  By the way, I almost said Dante Beau Bichette actually just hit
• 1:42:39
  a two run home run. So I think the Yankees are
• 1:42:42
  starting to say, Louis, take me away, Speedy, You want to sing
• 1:42:47
  that song? No, that's a happy birthday.
• 1:42:51
  Nithin has to sing for my birthday.
• 1:42:52
  That's all of that Nithing. Can I would love to hear Nithing
• 1:42:55
  Sing actually say this? That's my I need.
• 1:42:58
  A gin and tonic that would be. Cool gin and tonic watch.
• 1:43:01
  Watch him come out. And sing and be like super
• 1:43:03
  super. That is how I.
• 1:43:04
  Want the song to finish? I need a gin and tonic.
• 1:43:07
  That is actually literally how I want the song to finish.
• 1:43:09
  Lick it. And stick it as he always.
• 1:43:11
  Does he licks everything he sticks?
• 1:43:12
  I request Nithin to finish the song with the gin and tonic ball
• 1:43:15
  bag. Speedy's ball.
• 1:43:16
  Bag Speedy outfingers your ball bag.
• 1:43:18
  No, I don't. Mess are you?
• 1:43:20
  Cocking or you're doodling, I don't know.
• 1:43:23
  We need to work on getting Tootsie Roll Fruities as
• 1:43:26
  fruities and Tootsie by the way, Java.
• 1:43:28
  Speaking of sponsor. It was funny, I don't know if
• 1:43:31
  you saw the video before they had the So the Browns were
• 1:43:34
  unveiling a new helmet. By the way, one guy I speed.
• 1:43:37
  Do you? Have a helmet, the dude.
• 1:43:38
  The dude fell off and then dude wipes.
• 1:43:40
  Yep. So you.
• 1:43:41
  Deleted it. Yeah, dude, dude wipes as long
• 1:43:44
  as. She's using dude.
• 1:43:45
  Wipes and taking care of my 2 hole.
• 1:43:46
  I'm very saying. That that guy said he had a lot
• 1:43:48
  of dude wipes Speedy, do you? Have a Do you have a little
• 1:43:50
  helmet or is it not circumcised? I have I had a set of the NFL
• 1:43:55
  helmets as when I was a kid. No, but is.
• 1:43:57
  It circumcised or do you have a little helmet?
• 1:43:59
  Oh, what do you what do you think?
• 1:44:00
  I I. We had the little collection of
• 1:44:01
  the NFL helmets. No, but is.
• 1:44:03
  It circumcised or I don't know. So you don't know if you have a
• 1:44:06
  little helmet. Not with me, ladies, I bet
• 1:44:15
  those. Little helmets.
• 1:44:16
  I bet those little. Helmets are worth something
• 1:44:18
  these days. I'm not talking about that
• 1:44:20
  little helmet. Well, I was trying to change
• 1:44:23
  the. Subject.
• 1:44:25
  I'm trying to figure out. No, you're getting, you're
• 1:44:27
  eating your Tootsie Roll. You're your blueberry Tootsie
• 1:44:30
  Roll. No, no, it's there's blue
• 1:44:33
  Raspberry. I can't show the green one
• 1:44:35
  because it won't show up. I oh God, I try to show the
• 1:44:39
  green one. I like Tootsie rolls, but I
• 1:44:41
  can't eat them in different colors.
• 1:44:43
  I have to eat them in chocolate. That and I, I, you ever go to
• 1:44:47
  you ever go to a, a gym and Planet Fitness one of them?
• 1:44:50
  I don't go to Planet Fitness anymore.
• 1:44:51
  But when, when you go to Planet Fitness, they have Tootsie rolls
• 1:44:54
  when you walk in. Has anybody seen that?
• 1:44:56
  And they have pizza night on Mondays, like you're a gym and
• 1:45:00
  you're selling, you're giving away pizza to make people fat.
• 1:45:04
  I mean, if that must be even either the worst, the worst
• 1:45:08
  advertisement, or the best, depending on if you're bringing
• 1:45:11
  in people, bringing in more people because they're fat to
• 1:45:14
  your gym, I don't know, cardio. Stay away from that pizza,
• 1:45:18
  ladies and gentlemen. But they have Tootsie rolls all
• 1:45:20
  the time. Every time I would leave, I'd
• 1:45:22
  grab like 8 or 9 Tootsie rolls and I'd put them in my car and
• 1:45:26
  thank God I didn't leave them in my cup holder because if it was
• 1:45:28
  summertime, it would have been melted like those are melted.
• 1:45:30
  That have been gross, absolutely gross as hell.
• 1:45:34
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, next do you want to do let's
• 1:45:37
  parlay first. All right, so West.
• 1:45:39
  Sent a couple of CFL picks as he usually does.
• 1:45:41
  Yeah, I said he has to go 3 and 1 this week to say 40.
• 1:45:44
  Percent after he was 2. And two last week he's got
• 1:45:46
  Calgary, this week -5 1/2 he's got Toronto plus 2 1/2 BC.
• 1:45:52
  BC of the BC lions -3 is that your?
• 1:45:55
  Cucumber or are you happy to see me and the Edmonton?
• 1:45:58
  Elks the fish wears. Panties.
• 1:46:00
  Laughingstock. Of the CFL he actually has them
• 1:46:02
  covering plus 9 1/2 I need. A magnifying glass.
• 1:46:07
  You're going to need that one after those picks, but they're
• 1:46:11
  winners. CFL, if you're a W fan, they're
• 1:46:15
  winners. I, I can't lie to you guys, He
• 1:46:17
  knows his stuff. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:46:20
  we call this next segment Tick Tack no.
• 1:46:26
  Morris. Right in the butt.
• 1:46:29
  We get the prizes cheap because they're stolen.
• 1:46:33
  No, no. No, no, no.
• 1:46:41
  No, no, no athletes. And they're.
• 1:46:45
  Speedy, you know what? I will say this, Speedy, and if
• 1:46:50
  you really watch the footage here and if he really gets
• 1:46:52
  closer, you could see the back of my head as I watched Speedy
• 1:46:55
  doing his little tantrum. I call this like a tantrum
• 1:46:59
  dance. Like it looks like he's like
• 1:47:01
  yelling at his mom and doing a tantrum.
• 1:47:03
  Like, like he has ants in his pants.
• 1:47:05
  You know, fish. I have to ask, do you remember
• 1:47:07
  exactly which song that was from What I.
• 1:47:11
  Think it was like that Journey song.
• 1:47:14
  Oh, separate ways. I think they played separate
• 1:47:16
  ways. I think it.
• 1:47:16
  Might have been like, yeah, one of those I love.
• 1:47:19
  Lisa Ann Songs. Yeah.
• 1:47:21
  I know they played separate ways is the first one they played
• 1:47:23
  Don't stop believing a little later, but I think yeah I need.
• 1:47:25
  Brittany also that probably fits for.
• 1:47:27
  That well. I will say that that was the
• 1:47:29
  best part of the night was when we were dancing with to the band
• 1:47:32
  and the band was absolutely sensational.
• 1:47:35
  And they came over here to our side.
• 1:47:36
  And you know, I, I'll say this, my friend Ray, who haven't
• 1:47:40
  spoken to in a couple of weeks because he's been depressed.
• 1:47:42
  If you listen, Ray, you know I love you.
• 1:47:45
  Yeah, he's been a little depressed.
• 1:47:46
  And unfortunately, you know, he's gone through so much over
• 1:47:50
  the last couple of months and, and really last past year.
• 1:47:53
  I, I give him a lot of credit, but hopefully he's OK, gets out
• 1:47:57
  of that cocoon, that little turtle shell, as I call him
• 1:47:59
  ninja, a ninja turtle, a little ninja turtle.
• 1:48:01
  I would say he's more Raphael because he's in one of his bad
• 1:48:04
  moods. But nevertheless, I, I, I will
• 1:48:07
  say that when we were, we were at the events for, you know,
• 1:48:11
  for, for the birthday bash while we were there.
• 1:48:14
  Anyway, it was your birthday. It was my birthday.
• 1:48:15
  It was your birthday. That's right.
• 1:48:18
  We, we the, the band, when we were dancing to the band was the
• 1:48:21
  best part. So just just say it was fun.
• 1:48:24
  And fish had to go home early. And I, I got to give you a
• 1:48:27
  credit for a guy, you know, his wife was supposed to come and
• 1:48:30
  hang out with us. If anybody doesn't know, but
• 1:48:33
  they didn't have a dog sitter. So she had to stay home and
• 1:48:36
  watch the dog. She wanted it.
• 1:48:37
  She never met me, and she wanted to come out and hang out with me
• 1:48:40
  and Brittany. She never got a chance to.
• 1:48:42
  And he came four hours practically by himself and to
• 1:48:46
  hang out for a couple hours, 2-3 hours to go back home, 4 hours
• 1:48:50
  and drive home. So I got to give him a Golf
• 1:48:52
  Club. Golf.
• 1:48:53
  Clap for the old fisherman over here.
• 1:48:55
  The old fish. I'll exaggerate.
• 1:48:57
  It wasn't that far, but I do appreciate it.
• 1:48:59
  Let's get the music on. Speedy, you got some questions
• 1:49:01
  to beat us this time. We killed you last time.
• 1:49:03
  All right, we'll start. This week with a David Wright
• 1:49:06
  theme again I had it in my 6 pack.
• 1:49:07
  They acquired the rights to David Wright as a compensation
• 1:49:10
  player in 2001 because the Mets lost what starting pitcher to
• 1:49:14
  free agency. In 2. 1001, Yep.
• 1:49:19
  So that means he played. I'm going to Rain Man this.
• 1:49:22
  Mike Hampton. You got it.
• 1:49:25
  You all right? Wow.
• 1:49:27
  All right. I tried getting him.
• 1:49:29
  On the shelf, Where did he go to because the.
• 1:49:30
  Schools were so good in Colorado.
• 1:49:32
  I'll never forget that. That's why he had to leave bad
• 1:49:34
  schools in New York, you know, clearly.
• 1:49:37
  Schools he wasn't a. Good man.
• 1:49:38
  Anyways, he really wasn't. They overpaid him.
• 1:49:42
  Mike Hampton. Well, they overpaid him in
• 1:49:44
  freaking Colorado, too. He was trapped.
• 1:49:47
  Yeah, he was not good in course field.
• 1:49:49
  He was a better hitter than I think he was pitcher.
• 1:49:51
  That's true. He did hit a lot of homers.
• 1:49:54
  Yeah, I did. All.
• 1:49:55
  Right. I'm taking the middle speedy.
• 1:49:57
  You're going to have to do better than that.
• 1:49:58
  All right, so. Phillip Rivers announced his
• 1:50:01
  official retirement as a Charger just recently.
• 1:50:04
  A lot of people making jokes about that.
• 1:50:05
  So the year that he led the NFL in passing yards was 2010.
• 1:50:09
  So the other five quarterbacks who are top five were Drew Brees
• 1:50:13
  and the 2 Manning brothers. What quarterback was the other
• 1:50:16
  one? So top five in passing 2010 in
• 1:50:20
  2000. 10. 2010 Hayden, Eli. You're muted Java.
• 1:50:36
  It has to be. Somebody off the wall. 2000. 10
• 1:50:44
  I mean, I don't even want to say it because it's it feels too
• 1:50:48
  obvious. Who is it?
• 1:50:50
  I mean Brady. You know the two obvious angle
• 1:50:56
  was correct there. It's not Brady.
• 1:50:59
  Someone had to say it though. Who do you have?
• 1:51:05
  Brady was out to that the year before with the injury, right?
• 1:51:08
  That was O. Eight he was out the injury.
• 1:51:11
  I'm remembering 2010. I'm looking at, I'm listening.
• 1:51:14
  I'm thinking about the quarterbacks at that time.
• 1:51:20
  I know it wasn't Ben. I wasn't.
• 1:51:22
  It wasn't Ben, it wasn't him. Was it Matt Ryan?
• 1:51:28
  I don't know if I. Should go a little bit more
• 1:51:29
  obscure, but she's obvious but like.
• 1:51:35
  Oh my. God, I wonder, was it?
• 1:51:38
  I know who it is. Was it Aaron Rodgers?
• 1:51:39
  It was not. That's what I was going to
• 1:51:42
  guess. I'm going to go.
• 1:51:43
  Another not super Carson Palmer? Nope, is.
• 1:51:47
  It 2000. 10 when the green. Bay Packers.
• 1:51:49
  Was both of my guess. That's a good guess, that.
• 1:51:51
  Costume problem was a good guess.
• 1:51:54
  Was that? Zach, was that your other one?
• 1:51:57
  No, no, but that's just a good guess.
• 1:51:58
  I forgot. Both of both of my guests jobs
• 1:52:01
  Rogers or Carson Palmer. But like, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:52:05
  It's got to. Be it's got to be what about?
• 1:52:07
  What about the guy that's playing for the Giants this
• 1:52:09
  year? Oh yeah.
• 1:52:11
  Russell Wilson. He wasn't in.
• 1:52:15
  The league. Oh, no, you're right.
• 1:52:17
  No. Yeah, he wasn't even drafted
• 1:52:18
  yet. Never mind the next year.
• 1:52:20
  Yeah, never. Mind.
• 1:52:23
  Who else in 20? 10.
• 1:52:25
  I think Zach, you're our only savior right now.
• 1:52:27
  Zach. Guess Matt Ryan.
• 1:52:28
  No, I guess. I guess, Matt.
• 1:52:30
  Who's got a guess? Left, it's just me.
• 1:52:33
  I'm trying to think 20 tens. You said, you said Drew Brees is
• 1:52:36
  number one, right? Drew Brees.
• 1:52:38
  So it's. Not Breeze.
• 1:52:39
  Eli Payton, Eli. Payton and man, there are
• 1:52:43
  Rivers. Yeah.
• 1:52:45
  It's not Brady. It's not Big Ben.
• 1:52:46
  It's not Rogers, not Carson Palmer.
• 1:52:49
  I looked it. Up.
• 1:52:50
  I don't think you're going to get it.
• 1:52:51
  Yeah, I'm just all right. You got to give an answer, Jake.
• 1:52:55
  All right, that's speedy. Go ahead.
• 1:52:57
  So, Zach. Zach.
• 1:52:58
  You were actually the closest because it was a guy that backed
• 1:53:00
  up Matt Ryan previously. Matt Schaub is the answer.
• 1:53:03
  Matt. Schaub with Andre John.
• 1:53:07
  We did have that little. Run there in the 2010 Matt
• 1:53:09
  Schaub, Yeah. Yeah, Jake and Zach.
• 1:53:12
  You were right about the obscure angle that was.
• 1:53:15
  That was actually a good one, Speedy.
• 1:53:16
  That was a really good question, Speedy.
• 1:53:19
  That's not the guy we think of where you're going bottom right,
• 1:53:22
  bottom right, right here. And.
• 1:53:25
  Let's move on. All right, so.
• 1:53:26
  Chris Paul you were meant to get earlier in the basketball
• 1:53:29
  segment. He actually just resigned with
• 1:53:31
  the Clippers. So we have a Chris Paul theme
• 1:53:33
  question. One of his most impressive
• 1:53:34
  accomplishments was 106 to consecutive games with a steel
• 1:53:39
  streak. So who which Hall of Fame point
• 1:53:41
  guard did he steal from the ball from to break the record?
• 1:53:44
  John. Stockton Nope.
• 1:53:47
  Damn in. 2000. 8 Is there a year?
• 1:53:48
  Can we get a year now? I said 2000.
• 1:53:50
  I said 2008. Oh, 2008, OK, I got you in the
• 1:53:54
  league. No, OK.
• 1:53:56
  You said point guard or just guard?
• 1:53:58
  Point guard. Damn, like I.
• 1:54:01
  Didn't. Hear 2008.
• 1:54:03
  I'm going to say Jason Kidd. I feel like that's obvious
• 1:54:05
  though. Jason Kidd.
• 1:54:07
  No, you're still playing man. It could have been man, but no
• 1:54:09
  Hall of Fame point guard. But no, not Jason Kidd, is it?
• 1:54:12
  Oscar Robertson. No.
• 1:54:13
  No. Not what his grand.
• 1:54:15
  His grandson. Oh, I thought you were saying
• 1:54:19
  like in 2000. 8 No, he stole, he stole the ball from him.
• 1:54:24
  Oh, in two. 1008 I thought you were saying he he broke the
• 1:54:27
  whole the guy that. I listened.
• 1:54:29
  To it wrong. Too, Jake, I thought this I
• 1:54:31
  didn't I? Didn't hear it.
• 1:54:32
  Jake, the guy he broke. The record from I didn't even
• 1:54:34
  know who he was, so I wasn't going to make that the question.
• 1:54:36
  That would've been really hard. You want me to?
• 1:54:37
  Guess. I'm going to guess, yeah.
• 1:54:38
  What do you got? Steve Nash?
• 1:54:40
  Nope. That's a tough question, man.
• 1:54:43
  I'm trying to. Think.
• 1:54:44
  Who's gone into the Hall of Fame from that era, probably near the
• 1:54:51
  end of his career. Point.
• 1:54:53
  Guard or is he like A2 guard? He said.
• 1:54:56
  He said point guard, Yeah. There's only so.
• 1:54:59
  Many it could be and I'm like I'm blanking and I keep talking
• 1:55:02
  of. Someone but.
• 1:55:03
  He's not a point guard. They.
• 1:55:06
  Didn't put Chauncey Billups in the Hall of Fame, did they?
• 1:55:08
  I don't think so. I don't think so.
• 1:55:11
  Either I need. A blow up.
• 1:55:14
  I. Don't know this one at all.
• 1:55:16
  Job A. Lot of I don't want to guess.
• 1:55:20
  I can't even think. Just guess.
• 1:55:22
  You might as well guess. Make a guess, Zach.
• 1:55:24
  I was. I don't know if he's.
• 1:55:25
  In the Hall of Fame though, I was good as my other guess was
• 1:55:27
  going to be like Jason Williams, but I don't know if he was
• 1:55:30
  playing in 2008. White chocolate.
• 1:55:32
  Yeah. He's not a hall.
• 1:55:34
  Not a Hall of Famer, OK. That's who I thought.
• 1:55:36
  OK, I messed up I. Didn't hear the Hall of Fame
• 1:55:38
  part. I'm just.
• 1:55:39
  Trying to think of like very obscure no?
• 1:55:42
  No, he's a Hall. He's a well known Hall of Fame.
• 1:55:45
  Oh, OK, he's well known. OK, well.
• 1:55:47
  Known Hall of Fame point guard. I'm going.
• 1:55:52
  To kill myself, I know I'm going to.
• 1:55:54
  Be mad when he when he says it I need.
• 1:55:56
  Like a list of teams? In front.
• 1:55:58
  Of me and I'm not going to cheat so I'm just going to pass.
• 1:56:01
  I think I know who it is and I'm sitting here.
• 1:56:03
  Go for it. We're done.
• 1:56:06
  I don't like, can I? Get a guest to that mess.
• 1:56:08
  Go. Ahead, Jake, Is it?
• 1:56:09
  Is it? Rondo.
• 1:56:10
  No Rondo. Those I.
• 1:56:12
  Don't think Rondo's Hall of Fame either.
• 1:56:13
  Does he play for San Antonio? Yes.
• 1:56:17
  Who do you guys think it is? Well, if it's San Antonio, it's
• 1:56:21
  Tony Parker. Tony Parker.
• 1:56:23
  Yeah, it was. It was either Steve Nash or Tony
• 1:56:25
  Parker in my head, so those. Are the only.
• 1:56:28
  Two guys. All right, well.
• 1:56:30
  We didn't get it, Speedy, where you going?
• 1:56:32
  All right, let's. Go bottom left, all right.
• 1:56:38
  Here we. Go.
• 1:56:40
  I missed it. Who was it?
• 1:56:41
  Tony. Parker should have thought.
• 1:56:44
  Of that very frustrated I didn't.
• 1:56:47
  I know it's either one or the other.
• 1:56:51
  All right, so you guys got to get this one to stay alive here.
• 1:56:53
  We'll go back to baseball for this one.
• 1:56:55
  So obviously, I don't know if you've heard the Red Sox have
• 1:56:58
  had two straight games with a catcher's interference,
• 1:57:00
  including one that led to a walk off for the Phillies.
• 1:57:03
  I know, Jake, you're happy about that one.
• 1:57:04
  So the last time there was a catcher that got called for a
• 1:57:09
  walk off pass catcher's interference, it was a Hall of
• 1:57:11
  Famer who wasn't. Wait, say that.
• 1:57:16
  One more time, so the last. Time there was a walk off on a
• 1:57:18
  catcher's interference. It was a Hall of Fame legendary
• 1:57:21
  catcher. Name this player.
• 1:57:23
  Before, before, before the other day, a couple days ago.
• 1:57:27
  Yeah, when when the Red Sox did against the Phillies.
• 1:57:30
  How long? How long?
• 1:57:32
  Ago would this. Like.
• 1:57:35
  I think I remember I was watching the game last.
• 1:57:36
  They said it was like it was really long ago, Jabba.
• 1:57:39
  So it was a long time ago. I have no idea though.
• 1:57:44
  Oh. Did.
• 1:57:45
  Is that a? Pudge thing No.
• 1:57:49
  Hudge Rodriguez? No.
• 1:57:50
  I think Sarah Lang tweeted this out this morning.
• 1:57:53
  Yes. Is it Pudge?
• 1:57:55
  No, it's not Pudge. Jabba's right.
• 1:57:57
  It's further back, all right. It's.
• 1:57:59
  Right here. Yeah.
• 1:58:00
  It's on the top of your blue Raspberry Tootsie Roll tongue.
• 1:58:04
  No, it's green. You can't see it.
• 1:58:05
  Oh, it's green. What is that?
• 1:58:08
  What is that? Lemon line.
• 1:58:11
  No green apple. Green apple is it?
• 1:58:16
  Johnny Bench, it is very good. All right, 19. 71.
• 1:58:22
  You know who I thought it was? Yogi Berra.
• 1:58:27
  Wow. All right, Java, you saved the
• 1:58:30
  day on that one super high clutch rating in the advanced
• 1:58:35
  analytics for Tic Tac. No blocking Speedy right there
• 1:58:39
  we have we can win on this next one Speedy make it a good one.
• 1:58:44
  All right, let's go to some hockey.
• 1:58:45
  So as you know, Gavin McKenna, the big phenom, got committed to
• 1:58:49
  your school, Jake, Penn State going over there.
• 1:58:51
  So among NHL players and this, this guy's an active current
• 1:58:56
  player for one of the tri-state area teams who has the most
• 1:59:00
  points ever from any player born in Pennsylvania, and he's an
• 1:59:04
  active tri-state player. So wait, what?
• 1:59:06
  Was it from Penn? Most points, Yeah, it's the
• 1:59:08
  most. Points in NHL history from any
• 1:59:10
  player that was born in Pennsylvania and he currently
• 1:59:13
  plays for either the Rangers, Islanders or Devils.
• 1:59:16
  I'm going to predict he plays for the Devils.
• 1:59:18
  I had to. If I had them in front of me, I
• 1:59:20
  would tell you. I know I'm the same way.
• 1:59:22
  Like I need the I need. I'm going to take a guess.
• 1:59:24
  All right? What do you got?
• 1:59:25
  Jack Hughes. Nope.
• 1:59:25
  So not. Jack Hughes, I know it's.
• 1:59:28
  Not it's going to have to be someone who's played longer.
• 1:59:30
  It's got to be a veteran. It's on the devil's.
• 1:59:32
  I'm telling you they're it's on is it on the devil's speedy?
• 1:59:35
  No, really. So the.
• 1:59:40
  Maybe the? Oldest, I like the sneak.
• 1:59:41
  I like this sneaky trick right there.
• 1:59:43
  Errol, does he play third double s?
• 1:59:45
  No. So we don't see the Rangers.
• 1:59:46
  Or just go on, boys. Speedy is gonna block us.
• 1:59:49
  Speedy. Who is it?
• 1:59:50
  What is it? It's a Trocheck.
• 1:59:58
  Damn it. Spit it out speed.
• 2:00:02
  Let's go. All right, so all right, there
• 2:00:05
  it is. There's the block.
• 2:00:06
  Next question. All right, so the next.
• 2:00:07
  One is TJ Watt is one of two players to have 4 all pro
• 2:00:12
  appearances in the last 20 years and never win a playoff game.
• 2:00:15
  What recent Hall of Famer is the other one?
• 2:00:18
  So what was? What was the criter?
• 2:00:19
  Are you staying same position or just all pro?
• 2:00:22
  Any position one of two players in the last 20 years to have 4
• 2:00:26
  all pro appearances and never win a playoff game.
• 2:00:29
  Who was the other one? You said.
• 2:00:32
  Recent Hall of Famer? Yep.
• 2:00:37
  Oh. Can we get how recent?
• 2:00:39
  No. Oh, wait.
• 2:00:41
  I know who it is. It's Joe Thomas.
• 2:00:44
  Nope. No, he wasn't all pro 4 times.
• 2:00:47
  Nope. He was more, he was actually
• 2:00:49
  more. It's exactly 4 is what I was
• 2:00:51
  going. At a speedy that's that's not
• 2:00:53
  fair. That's ridiculous.
• 2:00:58
  Speedy come. On that, that's bullshit.
• 2:01:02
  Another question. Give us another question.
• 2:01:03
  Do you have another question? It's a very easy answer.
• 2:01:06
  All right, I'll give you. I'll give you.
• 2:01:07
  It was an offensive skill player.
• 2:01:09
  I'll give you at least give you that.
• 2:01:12
  Exactly 4 times recent Hall of Famer, yes.
• 2:01:16
  Randy. Boss.
• 2:01:18
  No recent Hall of Famer last five years.
• 2:01:20
  Oh. Skilled.
• 2:01:21
  Player Yeah, so. Running back, A receiver, A
• 2:01:23
  tight end running back. Receiver or.
• 2:01:26
  Tight. End.
• 2:01:28
  Never won a playoff game, or never went to a playoff game or
• 2:01:31
  never won a playoff game. Never won a playoff, Adrian.
• 2:01:33
  Peterson. Never won?
• 2:01:33
  Nope. His team.
• 2:01:34
  His team was in the playoffs three times, but they never won
• 2:01:37
  a playoff game. It's not Megatron.
• 2:01:39
  Is it? It is very.
• 2:01:42
  Good, Jake. Oh, I just.
• 2:01:44
  Said the only name because you're like three playoff times
• 2:01:47
  and like, I think the only team I could think of was like
• 2:01:50
  Dafford and the Lines and I'm like, well, he didn't have
• 2:01:53
  anybody, you know? Yeah, they have.
• 2:01:55
  That run. But yeah, he didn't play that
• 2:01:57
  long. We're going to give you the.
• 2:01:59
  Nithin all right. Here.
• 2:02:02
  So where you want to? Go, let's go.
• 2:02:05
  Left, middle. All right.
• 2:02:07
  Here it is all right, Speedy, getting late early here all
• 2:02:11
  right so. Damian Lillard returns to the
• 2:02:13
  Blazers for a second stint, and he is one of three players that
• 2:02:17
  has seven or more All Pro appearances with playing two
• 2:02:21
  stints on the same team. LeBron is the obvious 1, going
• 2:02:24
  to the Cavs twice. Damian Lillard And who is the
• 2:02:27
  other one? Say that one more time.
• 2:02:29
  So Damian Lillard returns to the Blazers.
• 2:02:31
  He has second stint appearances. So who are the only three
• 2:02:34
  players? Damian Lillard?
• 2:02:35
  LeBron is is 1, going back to the Cavs for a second time.
• 2:02:38
  Who is the other player with seven or more more All NBA
• 2:02:42
  appearances playing on the same team two different times?
• 2:02:48
  Jason. Kidd.
• 2:02:49
  Nope. He did.
• 2:02:50
  I know we went to Dallas and he went back to.
• 2:02:53
  Dallas is it? Is it Dwyane Wade?
• 2:02:56
  Now what? What are you saying?
• 2:02:58
  Was it current or it's, it's 2000s?
• 2:03:02
  It's somebody, it's, it's somebody there.
• 2:03:04
  He's not playing currently though.
• 2:03:09
  Went back. To his team.
• 2:03:12
  And was obviously. Legit seven time or more.
• 2:03:15
  That's why I said Jason Kidd, because Jason Kidd was.
• 2:03:19
  He went back. To Dallas what?
• 2:03:20
  How many times did he How many times did he win?
• 2:03:22
  Who else went back home at the end?
• 2:03:26
  To wrap it. Up.
• 2:03:27
  Did it matter at what time of their career or did you say no,
• 2:03:31
  Just just? As long as they had a second
• 2:03:33
  stint with the team, Hall of. Famer Speedy.
• 2:03:35
  It didn't have to be at. The end of his career, yes.
• 2:03:39
  It did not have to be at the end of his career.
• 2:03:40
  How is it not? Jason Kidd. 2.
• 2:03:48
  Thousands. That's a tough.
• 2:03:56
  One Jason. Kidd was five time all NBA, not
• 2:04:00
  a. Second five time.
• 2:04:04
  Off so it has to be all NBA. So what was the?
• 2:04:08
  Position that was easy to get all NBA at centre right.
• 2:04:12
  So it would be like Shaq. Shaq didn't go back to Shaq
• 2:04:15
  didn't go back anywhere. Shaq.
• 2:04:17
  Didn't go. Back.
• 2:04:19
  Hakeem. Did he go back?
• 2:04:22
  To the Rockets, No, I think, I think job, I think he went to
• 2:04:26
  the Rockets and then he retired on Toronto.
• 2:04:28
  Yeah, yeah. I may have a guess.
• 2:04:33
  I don't know if it's right though.
• 2:04:34
  Is it Kevin Garnett? Nope.
• 2:04:38
  He never went. Back to Minnesota?
• 2:04:39
  No, he. Didn't.
• 2:04:40
  Oh, I thought he did OK. So it's.
• 2:04:46
  Fish and. Jabba, have guesses left.
• 2:04:51
  I'm trying to. Remember, it's so tough, all
• 2:04:59
  right? Seven time all NBA that went.
• 2:05:04
  Seven time all NBA that went back.
• 2:05:07
  Did. Pippin, go back.
• 2:05:10
  At the end. I'm going to say Pippin, no.
• 2:05:17
  2000 Not trying to think it. Wasn't Dwight Howard your same
• 2:05:25
  position? Not Dwight Howard.
• 2:05:32
  Oh. God was Dukembe.
• 2:05:34
  Out in the tooth that no, I don't.
• 2:05:36
  Know. If Dukembe was.
• 2:05:38
  That good? I'm going to throw.
• 2:05:43
  Dukembe out there? No.
• 2:05:45
  It was actually somebody that was mentioned before, Steve
• 2:05:47
  Nash. Steve.
• 2:05:49
  Nash. All.
• 2:05:52
  Right, Speedy. Wow, looks like you're going to
• 2:05:56
  block us again. We're almost with a full board
• 2:05:58
  here. It looks like we'll we'll just
• 2:06:00
  go into the Jimmy Leyritz when he gets in.
• 2:06:03
  But let's put it here, Speedy. You can still score.
• 2:06:09
  You can still score. We can't win, except for coming
• 2:06:11
  down to the tiebreaker, which has only ever happened once and
• 2:06:14
  Tic Tac, no history. Let's do a speedy.
• 2:06:17
  All right, so. Aaron Judge became the fastest
• 2:06:19
  of 350 home runs. Who was the fastest of 400?
• 2:06:22
  I'm just going. To throw out a guess, was it a
• 2:06:24
  pool host? Nope.
• 2:06:25
  A rod? Nope.
• 2:06:27
  Miguel Cabrera? Nope.
• 2:06:29
  Was it McGuire? Yep.
• 2:06:31
  Java gets that. Oh, Java.
• 2:06:35
  Excellent. So looks like.
• 2:06:37
  He had that run. Where it was, I think he hit
• 2:06:39
  like. 200. And some in like 3 years it felt
• 2:06:42
  like. So.
• 2:06:44
  I guess so. Jimmy is in.
• 2:06:44
  So I guess we're going to call this 1A draw is what it looks
• 2:06:47
  like. Well, the last one is the tie
• 2:06:49
  breaking question, whoever is going to win.
• 2:06:51
  So it all comes down to this. Whoever gets this question is
• 2:06:54
  the winner. Sudden death overtime.
• 2:06:56
  All right, so we'll go back to. Football for this one.
• 2:06:58
  So honey, get. Out of here, honey.
• 2:07:00
  Badger is just announcing his retirement as well.
• 2:07:04
  There were three players in that draft that were in the third
• 2:07:07
  round, picks that were Pro Bowl players.
• 2:07:09
  Name one of the other two. They're both offensive players
• 2:07:13
  in the in the 2013 NFL Draft. Aren't we talking about Russell
• 2:07:18
  Wilson earlier tonight? It's not.

• 2:08:36
  Himself I gave. Up the booty.
• 2:08:38
  This makes my. Pecker hard.

• 2:08:59
  All right, I'll give you, I'll give you 2.
• 2:09:00
  One more hint. One's a receiver, one's a tight
• 2:09:02
  end. I farted. 2011. 2013, 2013 Third
• 2:09:06
  round third round Guy became an all pro or just Pro Bowl.
• 2:09:11
  Pro Bowl. Pro Bowl.
• 2:09:13
  You said from. Wisconsin.
• 2:09:15
  Bagel. Hole.
• 2:09:15
  I said he was a Pro Bowl player. No, I said.
• 2:09:17
  He's just an offense Woody has. No, Woody one's a receiver.
• 2:09:20
  One's a tight end, Jimmy. I shut.
• 2:09:22
  Up on your face, Jimmy is in. So we got to make our guess this
• 2:09:25
  soon. I don't want to keep.
• 2:09:26
  All right, make your last. Guess I think I know who one of
• 2:09:28
  them is. Wasn't wasn't that the year
• 2:09:30
  Kelsey came in? I.
• 2:09:32
  Need a magnet, right? Yeah.
• 2:09:36
  Jabba with the West in stunning death overtime.
• 2:09:40
  When you said tight end, I was like because I I was thinking
• 2:09:43
  like running back and receiver. And then you.
• 2:09:46
  Said. I was like, who was the other?
• 2:09:48
  One Speedy, the other one was Keenan.
• 2:09:50
  Allen, I shut. Up on your face, My dog wants
• 2:09:53
  your Pussycat. Get these damn.
• 2:09:56
  Free. Yeah, didn't.
• 2:09:57
  Just didn't keen Allen just retire too?
• 2:09:58
  That's crazy. No, no, he just.
• 2:10:00
  Resigned with the Chargers now he still resign he's.
• 2:10:01
  Still going? Oh.
• 2:10:03
  That was Mike Williams, right? Mike Williams.
• 2:10:05
  Retired. Yes, he signed back with
• 2:10:06
  somehow. Keenan Allen lasted longer than
• 2:10:08
  Mike Williams. Well Keenan Allen was a better
• 2:10:10
  player than Mike Williams. He's like like Mike Williams
• 2:10:14
  only made it like 8 years and now like Keenown's like year 13
• 2:10:16
  or he had a lot of. Bad injuries though, fish.
• 2:10:18
  Yeah, unfortunately. So, so has.
• 2:10:20
  So has Keenan Allen. I think he's, yeah, he had a
• 2:10:22
  freak. Injury at the end of 20
• 2:10:23
  Beginning of the 2016 season. Keenan Allen.
• 2:10:25
  'S had like 3 big, big injuries in his earlier on in his career
• 2:10:30
  and then last year there's still big He had like a good stretch.
• 2:10:32
  He tore his ACL. I remember that.
• 2:10:35
  I, I think he did he not do something with his ankle or
• 2:10:38
  something? Yeah, he had a bad.
• 2:10:39
  Ankle injury at the end of the year, one of the years of in the
• 2:10:42
  playoffs, he's had a lot. Of major injuries and to come I.
• 2:10:45
  Always thought, you know, was like the more underappreciated
• 2:10:48
  Mike Evans. Whereas like Mike, I think
• 2:10:50
  people have recognized how great Mike Evans is now, but people
• 2:10:52
  didn't always talk about him. I feel like Keenan Alan was the
• 2:10:54
  guy who always got forgotten about the 20 tens.
• 2:10:57
  Receiver, I don't think Keenan Allen was a first round pick, so
• 2:10:59
  it was a third round pick yeah. So that's what you're saying all
• 2:11:02
  these guys right there I'm saying cuz he.
• 2:11:03
  Like he worked, he built himself up, but like, he was always
• 2:11:06
  underappreciated. Like he was always a great wide
• 2:11:07
  receiver. No, he.
• 2:11:09
  Developed into one, that's for sure.
• 2:11:10
  And and thank you to Philip Rivers as everybody don't want
• 2:11:14
  to give him any credit for what he's done.
• 2:11:15
  By everyone you mean. Steve Weiss, No.
• 2:11:18
  TJ Ward and TJ. Ward, he pretty much he said
• 2:11:21
  none of them should make the he said none of them should make
• 2:11:24
  the the Hall of Fame. So I was very shocked that he
• 2:11:27
  did. I do appreciate.
• 2:11:28
  TJ Ward for joining my Chargers hater bandwagon.
• 2:11:31
  All right. Ladies and gentlemen, it's been
• 2:11:32
  waiting commonly and carefully as he always does.
• 2:11:35
  We are now talking to our 2nd guest.
• 2:11:38
  Well, we didn't have a first guest because he accidentally
• 2:11:40
  had something to do at the last minute.
• 2:11:43
  So we have our 2nd guest and we are now talking to 11 year MLB
• 2:11:48
  catcher Jimmy Lawrence. Jimmy, what's up?
• 2:11:51
  What's happening, fellas? How we doing?
• 2:11:53
  We're good. Man, you look good.
• 2:11:54
  Man. I, I will say this.
• 2:11:56
  The last time I saw you, I said you look the same you did when
• 2:12:00
  you played for the Yankees in the 90s.
• 2:12:02
  You look good, man. You look like you're in shape.
• 2:12:05
  You're taking good care of yourself.
• 2:12:06
  You're probably better shape now than you did when you did play
• 2:12:09
  well. Yeah, I don't drink as hard as I
• 2:12:11
  did when I played. Well, I really appreciate,
• 2:12:18
  obviously you giving us the time.
• 2:12:21
  You're a busy guy. The last time you were on our
• 2:12:22
  show, you were in a you were at a playoff game.
• 2:12:25
  You were at the Yankees playoff game if I'm not mistaken, it was
• 2:12:28
  against Cleveland. Kansas City, KS City.
• 2:12:30
  I remember that well because the the 1st guest we had on that day
• 2:12:33
  was the Savannah Banana coach Adam Vyrant, who's a big Royals
• 2:12:36
  fan and he said he was at the previous game.
• 2:12:38
  Then you were the 2nd guest actually at the game and we.
• 2:12:41
  We had a lot of conversations about obviously the Yankees and
• 2:12:45
  what the Yankees have to do to get through to the next round.
• 2:12:48
  And you were pretty much on point on where the Yankees were
• 2:12:53
  in the playoffs, especially against Kansas City.
• 2:12:56
  So my question here to you is I'm watching the Yankees right
• 2:12:59
  now. It's absolutely putrid.
• 2:13:01
  I have watched terrible defense after terrible defense all
• 2:13:06
  season long. You have a guy that Anthony
• 2:13:08
  Volpe, he was two years ago he was side what was, I'm sorry,
• 2:13:13
  not Gold Glove winner, great defensive player.
• 2:13:17
  And now all of a sudden he went from a great defensive player to
• 2:13:20
  one of the worst defensive players in the MLB.
• 2:13:22
  Statistics would show you ERA wise and the guy couldn't hit a
• 2:13:26
  broad right. What did they call it?
• 2:13:28
  The broad side of a barn outside of the barn.
• 2:13:31
  Yes, as we've heard, what is going on with the Yankees,
• 2:13:35
  what's going on with some of the youngsters that they've had over
• 2:13:38
  the last couple of years? And why are the Yankees one of
• 2:13:42
  the worst defensive teams in the first half in all of baseball?
• 2:13:45
  That is the. Answer we're all looking for
• 2:13:46
  right now. It's reared its head just
• 2:13:49
  recently more than it has all season.
• 2:13:52
  I couldn't tell you the answer. One of the things I will say is
• 2:13:56
  we've been saying it for the last five years about this team.
• 2:13:59
  They are the worst fundamental team that I've ever seen.
• 2:14:05
  And I'm not talking just fielding, but also running the
• 2:14:08
  bases, knowing how to play the game.
• 2:14:12
  It's just they've gone so Saber metric that it's it's these guys
• 2:14:18
  just don't know how to play the game anymore.
• 2:14:21
  So again, who gets the bulk of the the responsibility for that?
• 2:14:24
  They were debating on Monday whether it should be an Aaron
• 2:14:26
  Boone thing. Is it a prospect prospect
• 2:14:28
  development thing? I know the Yankees been
• 2:14:30
  criticized for that in the past, too.
• 2:14:31
  Brian Cashman criticizing the analytics department.
• 2:14:33
  Where do you think the accountability comes from with
• 2:14:35
  that? I think Jabba can speak to that.
• 2:14:39
  I mean, Jabba was there when all this shit started, you know, and
• 2:14:42
  when they when they had all these new ideas and everything
• 2:14:45
  else happening and you know, the bottom line, by the way, hey,
• 2:14:48
  Jabba, what's going on? But you know, for me, it starts
• 2:14:55
  in the minor leagues. And over the last five years,
• 2:15:00
  from what I've been told is there's one minor league coach,
• 2:15:06
  Shelley Duncan, who has any Major League experience in the
• 2:15:11
  entire minor league organization.
• 2:15:13
  That wasn't like it when we were playing.
• 2:15:15
  You know what, when I was playing, I had Clete Boyer, Ron
• 2:15:19
  Guidry, Hoyt Wilhelm, I mean Frank Howard.
• 2:15:23
  You had some names that really taught you.
• 2:15:25
  Buck Showalter was, even though he wasn't a big leaguer, he was
• 2:15:29
  a lifetime Yankee minor league guy stuck behind Don Mattingly.
• 2:15:34
  And he taught us what it meant to be, but also taught us how to
• 2:15:38
  play the game. And unfortunately, I think what
• 2:15:41
  you're seeing is you're seeing all these young kids coming up
• 2:15:45
  that just don't know how to play the game anymore.
• 2:15:49
  I I think. It's a nail on the head too, I
• 2:15:51
  think. It's just not, not.
• 2:15:54
  How to play? The game, but knowing how to
• 2:15:56
  play it and like yeah, now everybody looks at launching and
• 2:15:59
  looks the other stuff, but you bring up a great point of of
• 2:16:01
  having the knoweth all to like as if words fundamentally sound
• 2:16:06
  like yes, it's not sexy, but you know, runner on 2nd no outs.
• 2:16:10
  I don't care if you flap one over here to the right side.
• 2:16:14
  You do your job. It doesn't look sexy but no the
• 2:16:16
  game have some feel and that's that's.
• 2:16:19
  The thing? Where it's like you're looking
• 2:16:20
  at all these numbers and that's like, you know, when Joe came
• 2:16:23
  in, he had Joe's book and it was all the analytical stuff and all
• 2:16:26
  these other things. It's like.
• 2:16:27
  You got to. Watch the product.
• 2:16:29
  I mean, you got to watch in the flow and, and how the game is
• 2:16:33
  going. And I just, I don't think
• 2:16:35
  there's enough of that anymore. And I think it all starts in the
• 2:16:38
  minor leagues because now they're all taught like, OK,
• 2:16:41
  what, what is your horizontal and vertical like drop?
• 2:16:44
  What's your spin rate? It's like, I don't care if I'm
• 2:16:47
  getting outs. Do I really need to worry about
• 2:16:50
  anything else like at the end of the day?
• 2:16:53
  If I could. Now, would could Jamie Moyer
• 2:16:56
  play right now? Well, according to the favorite
• 2:17:00
  metric people know, I say yes, 100.
• 2:17:03
  Percent right? Yeah, like that.
• 2:17:05
  That are literally would we have the Dustin Pedroias would we
• 2:17:09
  have? I.
• 2:17:11
  Mean there's so many we can name where that's like it doesn't
• 2:17:14
  stand off at you because they don't have spin rates, they
• 2:17:17
  don't have this. But you know what?
• 2:17:19
  They're grinders. They know how to play the game.
• 2:17:21
  They lay bunts down, they get runners over.
• 2:17:23
  They make routine plays like and it's just it's what job you
• 2:17:27
  played. You played with Derek Jeter.
• 2:17:28
  I mean, Jeter didn't. You didn't have to tell Derek
• 2:17:32
  Jeter in a late in the game. If there's a man on 2nd with
• 2:17:35
  less than, you know, with nobody out, guess what?
• 2:17:39
  He's going to bunt for a base hit.
• 2:17:41
  He's still trying to get a hit, but he's still butting for a
• 2:17:44
  base hit to get the runner over late in the game.
• 2:17:47
  And I mean, listen, I, I, I don't, you hear a bunch of
• 2:17:52
  stuff. I'm at the stadium every night.
• 2:17:54
  I don't, I don't interact with the players at all.
• 2:17:57
  They don't let us do that anymore.
• 2:17:59
  Steinbrenner would be the first one to walk you into the locker
• 2:18:01
  room and say go talk to so and so right now, you if I don't,
• 2:18:06
  it's not just me. Any former Yankee, unless you're
• 2:18:09
  the Derek Jeter's or the Mariano's or the CC, they're not
• 2:18:13
  going to let you anywhere near that clubhouse for these kids to
• 2:18:18
  learn something because they don't want to hear.
• 2:18:20
  Well, this is what we would do. This is how we played.
• 2:18:24
  This is how we did it. And guess what?
• 2:18:26
  That's the last time the Yankees won championships.
• 2:18:29
  You know, it's, it's, it's one of those things that, you know,
• 2:18:33
  Anthony Volpe all winter long, I was down in Tampa for the
• 2:18:38
  fantasy camps in, in November and January and he was working
• 2:18:42
  out at the complex and he was working.
• 2:18:44
  I hit the ball the other way and he was doing all these things.
• 2:18:46
  He was going to improve. He starts the season off, he's
• 2:18:50
  on fire. He's hitting the ball all over
• 2:18:52
  the place. From what I was told, again, I
• 2:18:56
  don't know this, I'm not saying I know this for sure, but from
• 2:19:00
  what I was told was that there was a game, there was a runner
• 2:19:04
  on 2nd, nobody out. He hit a ground ball to the
• 2:19:07
  right side of the infield, moved the runner over, and he was
• 2:19:10
  chastised by this sabermetric people saying, what are you
• 2:19:14
  doing? You're supposed to be hitting
• 2:19:16
  home runs in that situation. And all of a sudden, he started
• 2:19:20
  going back to this home run swing, and his average went from
• 2:19:24
  270 to 210 now. And he can't find himself again.
• 2:19:29
  And it's now carrying it over into the infield to where before
• 2:19:34
  when his defense was so good, both sides of his game right
• 2:19:37
  now. And I think it's more, I think
• 2:19:39
  it's more mental than anything else we are talking.
• 2:19:42
  To 11 year MLB catcher Jim Lawrence.
• 2:19:45
  He played for the Yankees for a very long time, played from 1990
• 2:19:49
  to 2000, including nine years with the Yankees.
• 2:19:51
  It's incredible to see this guy's career.
• 2:19:54
  I remember him in 95. I remember him all those years,
• 2:19:58
  especially when the Yankees were starting that dominant run all
• 2:20:03
  the way in the 90s, which they were to me.
• 2:20:06
  As good A-Team built in the 90s as any Yankee team.
• 2:20:10
  When you compare some of the great Yankee teams, the Mickey
• 2:20:12
  Mantels, the Roger Maris's, the DiMaggio teams, even the Babe
• 2:20:16
  Ruth teams, I think the 90 Yankees are definitely
• 2:20:18
  comparable to all those teams. You know, Jimmy, we, we look at
• 2:20:22
  obviously what Aaron Judge is doing right now, it's, it's
• 2:20:25
  unbelievable. It's sensational.
• 2:20:27
  Watching a guy that came into the league at 24 years old,
• 2:20:31
  nobody realized how special he was except the Yankees.
• 2:20:35
  And then he became A5 tool player.
• 2:20:38
  He's played out of position. Last year, the first error he
• 2:20:40
  even had was in the World Series, which was a big one.
• 2:20:43
  And then you look what type of hitter he's become.
• 2:20:47
  He went from a power hitter and considered not a batting average
• 2:20:51
  hitter to a batting average hitter, a career 300 hitter with
• 2:20:55
  the power and the quick the quickest to 350 home runs.
• 2:21:00
  When you look at Aaron Judge and you look at the great Yankees,
• 2:21:02
  when you're when he's done, and I know he has a lot more based
• 2:21:05
  is supposed to go. Is he going to be compared to
• 2:21:08
  the Mickey Mantle's, the Joe Dimaggio's, the Babe roots or is
• 2:21:11
  it going to be compared to the Derek Cheaters, the Mariano
• 2:21:14
  Rivera's of the world? Where would you consider Aaron
• 2:21:18
  Judge and what does he have to do to be considered Babe Ruth,
• 2:21:22
  Joe DiMaggio or Mickey Mantle? The only way you get the tally
• 2:21:27
  of a Yankee legend, he's going to be a legend because of the
• 2:21:32
  numbers that he puts up in the book in the during the season.
• 2:21:35
  But Job will tell you, you don't win in the postseason.
• 2:21:39
  They don't remember you. It's been probably the biggest
• 2:21:43
  Achilles heel for Don Mattingly and the Hall of Fame because
• 2:21:47
  Donnie never got to the World Series, never won a World
• 2:21:50
  Series. Aaron Judge, if he does not win
• 2:21:54
  a championship, I don't care how great.
• 2:21:58
  New York will never consider him that that in on that level.
• 2:22:04
  And I think that's it. I think that's like his Achilles
• 2:22:07
  heel right now has been the postseason.
• 2:22:10
  And until he can get past that. Jabba, you played with him a
• 2:22:16
  rod. How many years was everybody
• 2:22:19
  called a rod the biggest choke artist in the postseason?
• 2:22:22
  And then all of a sudden 2009, he has a good postseason and all
• 2:22:27
  of a sudden now he's he's always still a rod.
• 2:22:30
  He's a rod, you know? Yeah.
• 2:22:32
  It just takes 1. Year doesn't matter.
• 2:22:34
  Exactly. Yeah, it just.
• 2:22:35
  Takes one and once you get that off your back it's it I guess
• 2:22:40
  you can take a deep breath. I mean, obviously for those
• 2:22:42
  other guys, they've they've obviously had more of them and
• 2:22:45
  you know how that feels. And it's just, you know, if if
• 2:22:48
  you don't get there, will he go? Will he be remembered as a great
• 2:22:51
  Yankee? Yes, but to be considered a
• 2:22:54
  legend and to be like the names that you mentioned, Ariel, if
• 2:22:57
  you don't win it, just like we remember names like Jerry
• 2:23:00
  Hairston, who had a big stolen base force in O9, Damacio Marte,
• 2:23:04
  who wasn't who should have been the MVPI mean he didn't give up
• 2:23:07
  a hit in the playoffs. And like guys like you remember
• 2:23:11
  because they won Phil Cokes of the world, like I mean, Alfredo
• 2:23:15
  Osevis, names you would never remember, but it's because they
• 2:23:19
  won and they're forever be, you know, remembered in that.
• 2:23:22
  So will he go down as one one of the greats?
• 2:23:25
  Because I think he's got a good 5-6.
• 2:23:28
  Good years. In him how long we'll be able to
• 2:23:30
  play the outfield for that that's to be seen.
• 2:23:33
  But if you don't win it it's it definitely changes the moniker
• 2:23:37
  of what stature you're on. Will what if he if he doesn't
• 2:23:41
  win is he going in Monument park?
• 2:23:43
  Hell no. Well, that's one of the reasons
• 2:23:46
  I'm on your show tonight. Listen, I hit a big home run in
• 2:23:49
  1995, Walk off against Seattle, second game of the playoffs.
• 2:23:53
  We went up two games and none. It was Don Maddow in his first
• 2:23:56
  time in the postseason. We we thought to win that series
• 2:23:59
  and last, by the way, exactly. And, and go on.
• 2:24:03
  And we end up losing the series and that home run just became a
• 2:24:07
  footnote. And then 96, I hit that home run
• 2:24:11
  and it just tied the game up, but it swung the momentum and we
• 2:24:15
  end up winning. And that home run became so big
• 2:24:19
  because we won. And that was the difference
• 2:24:23
  because we won. Aaron Boone would have the
• 2:24:26
  greatest home run in all of Yankee history had the Yankees
• 2:24:30
  won the 2003 World Series. But they didn't.
• 2:24:35
  So it's still a great home run, but it's not remembered if, if
• 2:24:40
  you remember, Andy Chavez for the Mets made a tremendous
• 2:24:43
  catch, which would have been gone down and they didn't win.
• 2:24:47
  So it's just another great catch in World Series.
• 2:24:49
  You know history that you have to win, and I think that's the
• 2:24:53
  whole thing. I think Aaron Judge, in order to
• 2:24:55
  be remembered as a great Yankee, not just a great player, but a
• 2:25:01
  great Yankee, you have to win a couple championships.
• 2:25:04
  So I want to. Go to a guy that's been a kind
• 2:25:06
  of a polarizing topic on our show.
• 2:25:08
  Errol doesn't like him, Jabba likes him.
• 2:25:09
  Jazz Chisholm, He's put up good numbers at the plate, but he
• 2:25:12
  said some some crazy antics as well.
• 2:25:14
  Where do you stand on the Jazz Chisholm experiment so far for
• 2:25:16
  the Yankees? You know what?
• 2:25:20
  It's so funny because I, I listen to people all the time.
• 2:25:24
  I'm one of those guys that says, OK, you know what?
• 2:25:27
  I'm old school. I don't like it.
• 2:25:30
  But guess what? I don't play in this era.
• 2:25:33
  And for some reason this entire era wants all this stuff.
• 2:25:40
  They like the pitch clock, which I would hate Jabba.
• 2:25:44
  He would hate the pitch clock. Yeah, I.
• 2:25:47
  I don't like like the disengagements of like being
• 2:25:50
  able to hold well and it sucks too, because that takes away me
• 2:25:53
  playing the chess game of holding and holding and holding
• 2:25:56
  and OK, now I got to step off and now it's already.
• 2:25:59
  Hard. Enough to pitch, but now I got
• 2:26:01
  to think, OK, did I disengage once or twice?
• 2:26:03
  Did I pick over? Did I step off?
• 2:26:05
  And so it's just. I.
• 2:26:08
  The time wise it wouldn't bother me because I'd like to work
• 2:26:10
  quick anyways. But as far as like playing the
• 2:26:13
  game of on the mound, holding runners, looking and now in the
• 2:26:16
  back of your mind, you got to look out of the corner of your
• 2:26:18
  eye and be like, oh, I better get rid of this.
• 2:26:20
  I mean a great pitch at 32 and you you end up walking the guy
• 2:26:23
  on a pitch clock. No, I'd be pissed.
• 2:26:25
  Yeah, so. Yeah, so my point is, yes, is,
• 2:26:28
  is is Jazz Chisholm my cup of tea.
• 2:26:30
  Well, he's wearing #13 so I do like that, OK.
• 2:26:35
  But no, it it's, he's not your traditional type of Yankee
• 2:26:40
  player. But there isn't those.
• 2:26:42
  We got beards now. I mean, Jabba, would you have
• 2:26:45
  not loved to have a beard as a Yankee?
• 2:26:47
  Yeah, I mean. Obviously it wouldn't be this
• 2:26:49
  big, but. But yeah, I.
• 2:26:52
  Mean, I just necessarily not, not so much, but it's just like
• 2:26:56
  everyday like being told and scolded like I'm a kid, like I'm
• 2:27:01
  a grown man. Like I'll keep it professional,
• 2:27:04
  but like getting kicked out of the dugout and like getting told
• 2:27:08
  as you. I was like, we don't start for
• 2:27:10
  another 3 hours. Like I'm just trying to get my
• 2:27:12
  stuff ready. I can shave in 5 minutes.
• 2:27:14
  Like I can be ready. So yeah.
• 2:27:17
  That's. I mean, obviously keep it neat
• 2:27:19
  and tight and whatever, but it's.
• 2:27:22
  It's. It's.
• 2:27:22
  Different and I, I, it's changed.
• 2:27:24
  The game has changed in so many ways.
• 2:27:26
  I hate the analytical part of it.
• 2:27:28
  I think there is some part of the analyticals that are OK.
• 2:27:32
  But there's not. Enough baseball people in it,
• 2:27:34
  it's a good. Tool, Yeah.
• 2:27:36
  Yeah, but it's not the crutch exactly.
• 2:27:39
  And it doesn't, it doesn't tell me, you know what what, what,
• 2:27:43
  what the guy has in his heart, the fight that a guy has, what's
• 2:27:47
  he going to do in in big situations?
• 2:27:49
  But, but going back to Jazz Chisholm, listen, he's like I
• 2:27:53
  said, he's a different cup of tea.
• 2:27:55
  He's very talented. He's got a lot of talent.
• 2:28:01
  He fits into the locker room pretty good.
• 2:28:03
  Most of the guys that I know of that they've talked about, they
• 2:28:07
  they've kind of accepted everything.
• 2:28:09
  But if you're not winning, it's an issue.
• 2:28:14
  You know what? I'm winning.
• 2:28:17
  Jim, you know what I call it? I call it the Jism Express.
• 2:28:20
  That's what I call it because hop on the Jism Express and I
• 2:28:24
  call him jazz jism because I don't even give him the
• 2:28:27
  compliment and giving him his last name because the guy, all
• 2:28:30
  he does is yap, dance around, prances around after the fact
• 2:28:33
  wearing his big glaring platinum freaking chain.
• 2:28:38
  And and he hasn't won nothing. He hasn't done anything.
• 2:28:41
  And for the Yankee fans to sit there and think, oh, this guy
• 2:28:45
  brings, you know, conversation and this guy brings personality.
• 2:28:48
  What personality is he bringing? A personality that you're going
• 2:28:52
  to want to kill every time he opens his mouth and throw the
• 2:28:54
  team under the bus? He came out and said, we're
• 2:28:56
  still the best team in the league when we were playing as
• 2:28:59
  bad as we were for three weeks straight.
• 2:29:02
  And you and then you have Aaron Boone.
• 2:29:03
  And I, I stick up for Aaron Boone because I think people
• 2:29:07
  blame Aaron Boone for all this crap.
• 2:29:09
  Aaron Boone is not the one that's getting into the box.
• 2:29:12
  Aaron Boone is not throwing the ball like these pitchers.
• 2:29:14
  These guys got to go out there. They're getting paid money,
• 2:29:17
  getting paid a lot of money. Go out there and play your
• 2:29:19
  GameStop bitching and moaning. Well, the analytics told me to
• 2:29:22
  do this and the analytics tell me to do that.
• 2:29:24
  I'm so tired of hearing you got to go.
• 2:29:27
  You got to go even further. Aaron Boone is not making the
• 2:29:30
  lineup. Aaron Boone is not making the
• 2:29:33
  switches. Aaron Boone is there to babysit
• 2:29:37
  and to take orders from upstairs.
• 2:29:39
  Yeah, period. Yankee fans don't know that.
• 2:29:42
  They don't know that, yeah. And it's No, they don't.
• 2:29:45
  Want to believe it? Exactly, exactly.
• 2:29:48
  You know, it's a different, it's it's just a different mindset
• 2:29:53
  from like when Jabba and I were playing, you know what, we liked
• 2:29:57
  our manager, but there was a certain part that we didn't mess
• 2:30:02
  around with our manager. We respected him to a point
• 2:30:05
  where if he said something to us, he wasn't trying to be our
• 2:30:10
  friend. He was hey, you're here.
• 2:30:14
  I'm your manager. Listen up.
• 2:30:16
  Straighten this up. Straighten that up.
• 2:30:18
  Fix this, fix that. Not these are savages.
• 2:30:22
  These guys are savages. I mean, that's nice, that's
• 2:30:25
  great, and it makes you feel good.
• 2:30:28
  But listen, that's that's not the type of manager that we had
• 2:30:32
  that was. That was Girardi's hardest
• 2:30:34
  thing. Like when he first came over
• 2:30:36
  after after Tory was like trying to find that balance between
• 2:30:40
  shoot, I didn't I'm not that far removed, you know, from from it
• 2:30:44
  and just being able to and obviously in 2008 when he took
• 2:30:48
  over was the last year the old stadium.
• 2:30:49
  We didn't make the playoffs. And so.
• 2:30:52
  He wasn't obviously off to a great start.
• 2:30:54
  Then we end up winning the next year.
• 2:30:56
  But yeah, it's you can always like back then, the dynamic of
• 2:31:00
  you always, if you walk by him, you always pays your respect.
• 2:31:02
  You didn't walk by your manager. Never.
• 2:31:05
  And Mr. T would always be sitting right there, as Derek
• 2:31:07
  always called him, and he'd. Be sitting there doing.
• 2:31:10
  His thing and you always said hi, always said hi to him in the
• 2:31:15
  in the clubhouse. But Jimmy, you know, if, if, if
• 2:31:17
  Joe was doing one thing, you didn't bother him if, if those
• 2:31:19
  sheets were on on the desk. All right, I'll catch you in
• 2:31:22
  about 10. I'll come back.
• 2:31:24
  Later and I think. That I think that's the
• 2:31:27
  difference. I think, you know, you know,
• 2:31:31
  when we had again, look at the Major League coaching roster,
• 2:31:36
  there's not too many guys besides Brad Osmus, you know,
• 2:31:41
  with a lot of experience. I think.
• 2:31:43
  I think Harkey's still in the bullpen.
• 2:31:45
  Yeah. And then?
• 2:31:45
  Assistant pitching coach Preston Claiborne had a little bit of
• 2:31:48
  time, yeah. So, you know, we we had guys
• 2:31:52
  that had championship with the Yankees, Willie Randolph, you
• 2:31:55
  know, Don Zimmer, you know, you know, Mel Stoudemire, guys that
• 2:32:00
  knew what it was like to play in New York.
• 2:32:03
  So when you were struggling, you had someone, dude, what happened
• 2:32:07
  to you when you played in New York and you were and you sucked
• 2:32:10
  and they were all over you. How did you get out of it?
• 2:32:12
  You know, you had that ability to have coaches that could help
• 2:32:15
  you through that. I don't think they have that
• 2:32:18
  now. And Joe?
• 2:32:18
  Girardi, are they? Are they allowed to do it?
• 2:32:22
  Right. I remember when Joe Girardi was
• 2:32:24
  picked to be the next manager for the New York Yankees, and
• 2:32:27
  Donnie Baseball was fighting for that job too, and a lot of the
• 2:32:30
  Yankee fans wanted Don Mattingly to take over for the Yankees,
• 2:32:34
  not Joe Girardi. And it was obviously Brian
• 2:32:37
  Cashman's decision. I'm going the Girardi route now.
• 2:32:41
  I've heard stories and you know more than anybody I've heard
• 2:32:44
  stories about Girardi and Posada and there were stories that they
• 2:32:48
  didn't like each other. Girardi never liked Posada and
• 2:32:51
  Posada was Derek Jeter's best friend or one of him.
• 2:32:54
  Him and Jared Williams was his closest friends on the team.
• 2:32:57
  You were around both guys. So is it true Girardi and Posada
• 2:33:02
  didn't like each other? And if it is true, why did they
• 2:33:06
  not like each other? In all honesty, it depends on
• 2:33:10
  what you ask them. I mean, if you would have asked
• 2:33:11
  them during the playing days, Girardi was considered a mentor.
• 2:33:17
  And I can I can pull back articles from back in those days
• 2:33:21
  saying that Joe Girardi was there to mentor Jorge Posada.
• 2:33:25
  That's why he came back in 97 and 98, you know, or 97 and 98.
• 2:33:29
  Yeah. And but as time went on, the
• 2:33:35
  story changed a little bit that, oh, well, they didn't like each
• 2:33:38
  other. They didn't get along.
• 2:33:40
  And I think it was more as a manager than it was when they
• 2:33:44
  were teammates. It's it's.
• 2:33:46
  Crazy because I as a Yankee fan heard so many different stories.
• 2:33:51
  Now I obviously I didn't have my inside scoop like you guys did.
• 2:33:54
  You both played for the Yankees. You guys were close to the
• 2:33:56
  Steinbrenner. So I didn't know them like that.
• 2:33:59
  But I was a die hard Yankee fan. I grew up with Don Mattingly
• 2:34:01
  fan. He was my favorite player and I,
• 2:34:03
  I Donnie, unfortunately everywhere he's gone, even as a
• 2:34:07
  a manager, never won a championship, even out a guy as
• 2:34:10
  a bench manager never won with the Yankees, with Joe Torre.
• 2:34:14
  So Don Manley just had really, really bad luck when Joe Girardi
• 2:34:17
  really was put in the position the way he was.
• 2:34:21
  Where after they picked Joe Girardi, what did they do that
• 2:34:24
  season? Well, they just went with CC
• 2:34:26
  Sabathia, AJ Burnett and Mark to share it in 2009 and they win a
• 2:34:32
  championship in the first inaugural season at the new
• 2:34:35
  stadium. I'm not surprised that happened.
• 2:34:38
  Do they do the same if Don Mattingly was there?
• 2:34:40
  Because I've heard stories, George Steinbrenner was very
• 2:34:43
  close with Donnie, but Hal and Hank did not like Donnie.
• 2:34:47
  So there was some stories coming out that way.
• 2:34:50
  And that's why they decided to go with Joe.
• 2:34:52
  I don't know if that to be true either, but I've, I've, I've
• 2:34:56
  seen Don Mattingly 3 years, three times in in in an amount
• 2:34:59
  of time. And I had I've had questions to
• 2:35:02
  ask him and I said, Don, you're you're my favorite player
• 2:35:04
  growing up. And he smiled.
• 2:35:05
  He's I appreciate it. And I said, what what was the
• 2:35:08
  what was the connection you had with the Steinbrenner?
• 2:35:11
  As he says, the boss was always the boss always showed me
• 2:35:14
  respect, always loved me as a player and always put me first
• 2:35:20
  after the team. He said, he said.
• 2:35:22
  But there was something about Hal and and Hank, they they were
• 2:35:26
  brought up differently and they looked at me as a different
• 2:35:29
  player, a replaceable player. That's what Don Mattingly told
• 2:35:33
  me. And but he didn't say it in a
• 2:35:35
  way where, oh, he they hated me. He just said it in a
• 2:35:38
  professional way that we just didn't see eye to eye with the
• 2:35:42
  game of baseball. And maybe that's why he retired.
• 2:35:45
  I think Donnie could have played another year.
• 2:35:47
  I really do. I think he could have played in
• 2:35:48
  96. Yeah, but what a lot.
• 2:35:50
  Of people didn't see back then was Donnie we Donnie had to get
• 2:35:54
  up at 10:00 in the morning. He had to do a bunch of
• 2:35:56
  different exercises and stretches and just to be able to
• 2:36:00
  get out of bed, be able to walk down and have lunch.
• 2:36:03
  I mean, it really was a point where his day was, it was a 14
• 2:36:08
  hour day for him. And I think that was what that
• 2:36:11
  was what was weighing on him more than anything.
• 2:36:15
  It, you know, would he have liked to continue?
• 2:36:20
  I'm sure. But I, I do think that that the
• 2:36:23
  injury was, it was, was the most the main reason why he hung it
• 2:36:27
  up, do you think? Donnie, for the five years that
• 2:36:30
  Don Manly was at the top level of the game, could you compare
• 2:36:34
  anybody over the last 40 years that had numbers like Don Manly
• 2:36:39
  in a five year stint except Aaron Judge?
• 2:36:41
  I mean, Aaron Judge would be the closest.
• 2:36:43
  I mean, Mike Trout, Yeah, that's it.
• 2:36:48
  Mike Trout, yeah. That's.
• 2:36:49
  Crazy, yeah. Trout.
• 2:36:51
  Trout would be 1, but see, and I would actually put Mike Trout in
• 2:36:55
  a very similar category to Don Mattingly.
• 2:36:57
  Yeah, but but the difference is playoff.
• 2:37:01
  Wise too, yes. Exactly.
• 2:37:04
  Not his fault the handles are. Dysfunctional.
• 2:37:07
  And his injury has really what's been decimated his last four or
• 2:37:12
  five years. And it's you got to be
• 2:37:14
  remembered as the guy that had 30 and 100 and, you know, 40 and
• 2:37:20
  108 or 8 or seven or eight years or is he going to be remembered?
• 2:37:25
  The guy who's hitting 2:20 and has 17 bombs?
• 2:37:29
  You know, it's it's really kind of, you know, a difficult
• 2:37:35
  situation. And again, it goes back to not
• 2:37:39
  winning a championship, not even being in the playoffs, much
• 2:37:42
  less. And I think it's a tough choice.
• 2:37:45
  I think it's a it's got to be a tough choice for Trout every
• 2:37:48
  year to say, OK, I'm going back to the Angels, Jimmy.
• 2:37:52
  You look at Jabba and I've asked Jabba who is who was his
• 2:37:55
  favorite player to work with and play with, and it was CC
• 2:37:59
  Sabathia, OK, He always talks about CC, that he's the nicest
• 2:38:02
  guy, one of the best teammates he's ever played with.
• 2:38:05
  He's had a lot of good ones. Jabba you would agree with, but
• 2:38:08
  CC was a guy that really stood out to you.
• 2:38:10
  Was there a particular player that you played with?
• 2:38:14
  That stuck. Out to you more than the other
• 2:38:16
  and and why do you say that player over maybe the other
• 2:38:21
  players that people would have thought that you would have
• 2:38:23
  picked Don Mattingly? Donnie was the greatest team
• 2:38:25
  that I ever played with, not only from the standpoint of the
• 2:38:28
  good all around person and a good My first year in the big
• 2:38:33
  leagues, my very first day at Yankee Stadium, I got caught up
• 2:38:37
  on the road for three games in Baltimore.
• 2:38:40
  Then we came home and our first series was against the Red Sox
• 2:38:44
  in Yankee Stadium. And I come walking in the
• 2:38:47
  stadium. I'm taking it all in.
• 2:38:49
  I'm just, I'm, I'm literally on the phone with my dad in the
• 2:38:52
  locker room and going, Dad, I fucking made it.
• 2:38:55
  I'm here at Yankee Stadium. I, you know, I, I, you know, my
• 2:39:00
  locker is next to Don Mattingly. This is the greatest day of my
• 2:39:03
  life. And instead of my dad going,
• 2:39:05
  son, I'm very proud of you because my dad was a cross
• 2:39:09
  between Woody Hayes and Bobby Knight, hardcore, hardcore.
• 2:39:15
  And he said to me, son, that is great, but what are you going to
• 2:39:19
  do to stay there? That was his comment.
• 2:39:23
  So I literally get off the phone.
• 2:39:25
  I'm a little disappointed that he didn't say, I'm proud of you,
• 2:39:27
  son. Congratulations.
• 2:39:29
  All right. I sit down on my my chair and I
• 2:39:32
  look over and Donnie comes walking in and he goes, hey,
• 2:39:35
  kid. He goes pretty good, pretty good
• 2:39:38
  couple games in Baltimore. You see.
• 2:39:41
  I see you're next to me. Just remember one thing, you
• 2:39:45
  don't last very long here unless you ask questions.
• 2:39:49
  Where was where was your locker at?
• 2:39:51
  Literally when? You first walked in to the left.
• 2:39:53
  Or. The right.
• 2:39:54
  Yeah, Donnie. Had it as soon as you walked, he
• 2:39:56
  had. He had the big.
• 2:39:57
  One in the corner in the corner. Yeah, yeah, they.
• 2:40:00
  Stuck me next to Stevie and Gino.
• 2:40:02
  Oh geez. Yeah.
• 2:40:06
  I was right by the mailboxes. I'm like, hey.
• 2:40:08
  I didn't. Care.
• 2:40:09
  I got to look at Thurman's locker every day.
• 2:40:12
  Exactly. Exactly.
• 2:40:14
  Yeah, So. And one of the things great
• 2:40:17
  about Donnie, when Donnie was hurt, I was taking his position
• 2:40:21
  at first base, but yet he was out there every day trying to
• 2:40:25
  help me. How to hold a runner on, how to
• 2:40:27
  do something, how to how to give myself a better opportunity to
• 2:40:31
  be good that day to help our team win.
• 2:40:34
  You didn't find that in a superstar and a guy that was as
• 2:40:37
  big as Don Manley was during those days.
• 2:40:39
  And I just found that unbelievable.
• 2:40:42
  And like I said, the first time anybody, anybody asked me, who's
• 2:40:46
  your favorite teammate? I don't even hesitate.
• 2:40:48
  It's Don Maddow. Do you talk?
• 2:40:49
  To him still. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 2:40:52
  Every time. Every time Toronto comes in, I
• 2:40:55
  go see him. I I text him on his birthday
• 2:40:59
  every year. Yeah, we we still, we still stay
• 2:41:02
  in touch. By the way, Jabba, I, I love
• 2:41:05
  when you're posting up in the private chat and he says Boone
• 2:41:09
  is at the press conference right now saying that the Yankees are
• 2:41:11
  a good defensive team. So bad.
• 2:41:15
  So bad, Boone. What are you watching man?
• 2:41:19
  I love you dude. I stick up for our boot all the
• 2:41:22
  time. That you that would get you
• 2:41:24
  fired. If I was the GM of the team I'd
• 2:41:26
  be like dude are we watching the same team?
• 2:41:28
  This team is absolutely putrid defensively.
• 2:41:32
  Well, you know, here's the situation.
• 2:41:35
  The. Manager before him criticized
• 2:41:38
  Gary Sanchez and lost his job. If you're really if you really
• 2:41:43
  want to get down to it, Joe Girardi was let go because of
• 2:41:49
  what he was saying about Gary Sanchez and at that time, Gary
• 2:41:52
  Sanchez. Gary Sanchez.
• 2:41:55
  That's what they called him, the Sanchez.
• 2:41:58
  And by the way, I was in Bermuda and I was going down the crystal
• 2:42:02
  tour and Gary Sanchez's niece was hanging out with me and my
• 2:42:08
  girlfriend and she's like, you know, Gary Sanchez is.
• 2:42:11
  And I said, yeah, he was a Yankee catcher.
• 2:42:13
  Yeah, that's my that that's like my my uncle or whatever she
• 2:42:16
  said. My I, I see him all the time.
• 2:42:18
  I'm always during the summer. I'm always with Gary.
• 2:42:21
  And I'm like, if like, that's pretty funny.
• 2:42:23
  And now you're bringing up Gary Sand.
• 2:42:25
  It popped in my head. So it it Sanchez Chaz was a guy
• 2:42:29
  that had tremendous talent. I remember when he came up and
• 2:42:31
  he was hitting the hell out of a ball.
• 2:42:33
  I don't know what happened to him.
• 2:42:35
  He mentally just it got into his head.
• 2:42:37
  He went to the Twins. He actually started hitting for
• 2:42:39
  the Twins. And then he he finished up,
• 2:42:43
  yeah, he finished up with the Mets.
• 2:42:45
  And then he went to the. Padres actually was pretty good
• 2:42:47
  that wasn't he with. The Mets, too, he was with the.
• 2:42:49
  Mets for like a month or so, then he went to the Padres and
• 2:42:51
  actually played well in that season with them, not the
• 2:42:54
  Padres. The Padre stint brought him
• 2:42:57
  back. Yeah, not.
• 2:42:58
  Yankees good, but he was at least playing serviceable enough
• 2:43:00
  where he could have kept playing.
• 2:43:01
  But then I think they let him go at the end of the year, you
• 2:43:03
  know? Jimmy, before we let you go,
• 2:43:05
  because I know you're a busy guy and we love when you come on and
• 2:43:08
  we'll definitely get you on before the season is over.
• 2:43:11
  Because I'd love to hear if the Yankees make the playoffs, which
• 2:43:14
  they should. I, I can't see them choking and
• 2:43:17
  not making the playoffs. But hey, it is the Yankees.
• 2:43:19
  They do have a good. Defensive team apparently as.
• 2:43:21
  Boone was saying and then Chisholm saying Jazz, Chisholm
• 2:43:25
  coming out and saying, oh, yeah, we're still the best team in the
• 2:43:27
  league. We were 13 and 22 in the month
• 2:43:31
  of June. So yeah, that great
• 2:43:33
  congratulations to Jazz. He knows what he's talking
• 2:43:35
  about. And it only had three home runs
• 2:43:37
  in that Home Run Derby. What a disgrace.
• 2:43:40
  That was embarrassing. That was a little embarrassing.
• 2:43:42
  That was embarrassing. How do you go out there and say,
• 2:43:45
  oh, I have 17 home runs, I could win this thing.
• 2:43:48
  And the guy had three home runs and then he made, he did foul
• 2:43:51
  tip. But the worst, the worst was
• 2:43:53
  Jimmy, if you remember. Swish.
• 2:43:55
  Swinging and missing, yes. I do remember that, yes.
• 2:43:59
  That's got to be the worst. I, I, but at least Nick and
• 2:44:03
  I'll, I'll say this about Swisher.
• 2:44:05
  When Swish was in the locker room, he knew how to like bring
• 2:44:09
  out the guys. I've heard so many stories about
• 2:44:11
  Nick Swan. I don't know him personally, but
• 2:44:13
  I'm sure you guys know him. Everything I've heard about
• 2:44:15
  Nick, he was the best teammate. He was cool collective in the
• 2:44:18
  he's always blasting his music in the locker room.
• 2:44:21
  Everybody was listening to the Metallica and all the crazy crap
• 2:44:24
  that he was playing all that Hard Rock.
• 2:44:26
  When I hear about Jism, he looks like a rapper.
• 2:44:29
  He looks like a Flavor Flav when he's standing there.
• 2:44:32
  I mean, he he just the the the way he presents himself.
• 2:44:38
  I just don't like it. I don't like the way he stands
• 2:44:40
  there like he's 11 something. He's done something for Yankees
• 2:44:44
  and he's really done nothing. And he couldn't cut it over
• 2:44:48
  there with the Marlins and he had to be traded.
• 2:44:50
  So let let's let's get down and dirty with that jizzy.
• 2:44:53
  So I would love to get jism on the show because I'm not going
• 2:44:56
  to sit here and beat around the Bush.
• 2:44:58
  I'll let him have it and see how he answers it.
• 2:45:00
  And if he doesn't like it, well, that just shows you how big of a
• 2:45:03
  bitch he is. Anyways, So that's the facts.
• 2:45:06
  I'm not going to sit here and beat around it.
• 2:45:07
  But John, John, but you know me. You've been working with me for
• 2:45:10
  a year now. I don't sit here when I
• 2:45:12
  interview somebody and say, Oh my God, it's jazz jizz.
• 2:45:16
  Let me kiss you. This, you know, I just, I'll
• 2:45:20
  tell you if you don't like it. Well, if that does happen, I'm
• 2:45:22
  going to have a big bowl of popcorn just sitting there
• 2:45:24
  going. There you go.
• 2:45:26
  That's all. That's all.
• 2:45:27
  That's all. That's all.
• 2:45:29
  I'm in it for what you probably usually.
• 2:45:32
  No. You have a, you know, a bag full
• 2:45:34
  of Tootsie rolls, which you've been eating all night tonight.
• 2:45:36
  Fruity, fruity fruits, whatever. But when you get it, when you
• 2:45:39
  get into a good back and forth, Yeah.
• 2:45:41
  It's popcorn time. Yeah.
• 2:45:42
  Well, I've done it a couple of times on this show.
• 2:45:44
  Down with the best. Is when you burn out the Dorito
• 2:45:46
  Taco shells what I mentioned? That's true.
• 2:45:49
  Too. By the way, I might get some
• 2:45:51
  Doritos tonight. I have Torito tacos.
• 2:45:53
  I like that. Anyways, Jimmy, we really
• 2:45:56
  appreciate the time. Your sensational, keep up the
• 2:45:58
  good work. Let's get you on a little bit
• 2:46:00
  sooner than later, but maybe during the playoffs like we did
• 2:46:03
  last year. Love to know your take and I'm
• 2:46:06
  sure we'll have a lot of coverage through it.
• 2:46:08
  But as always. Always available?
• 2:46:11
  Are you still in? Levy's Box.
• 2:46:13
  I'm still. Yep, I'm still working up in the
• 2:46:15
  suites. Yep.
• 2:46:15
  Yeah, there he is. He's hanging out.
• 2:46:18
  All right, boys, Hanging out with the Chiclets.
• 2:46:20
  Thanks, Jimmy. Thank you.
• 2:46:21
  Thanks for having me. Thanks, Jimmy.
• 2:46:22
  Thanks, buddy. Jim Lahrenz.
• 2:46:24
  Fantastic stories. I love the Don Mattingly story.
• 2:46:28
  I'm a Donnie Baseball fan, so I love it.
• 2:46:31
  Speedy. Side note, who was it?
• 2:46:34
  The question I asked you in the private chat, Yeah.
• 2:46:36
  Brandon. Inch.
• 2:46:38
  That's. Right.
• 2:46:40
  I always killed the Yankees too. The by way, Detroit.
• 2:46:42
  Remember Brandon? I asked.
• 2:46:43
  Java on the private chat who was the his former team age had zero
• 2:46:47
  and a home runner. Because I remember watching it
• 2:46:49
  as a kid. I like I couldn't remember who
• 2:46:50
  it was he killed. The Yankees all the time.
• 2:46:53
  All the time. I couldn't stand Brandon Inch,
• 2:46:56
  but I, I, I remember him when he was on the tigers because he
• 2:47:00
  always pissed me off every time he went up to the plate and he
• 2:47:02
  was a good defender too. Yeah, he was he was pretty good.
• 2:47:04
  So yeah, I, I really liked. I don't know him personally,
• 2:47:08
  Jabba knew him personally, but I, I, I'm sure he probably was a
• 2:47:11
  cool doer to chill out with and hang out with.
• 2:47:14
  But anyways, thank you to Jimmy. We really appreciate the time.
• 2:47:17
  Let's go to a sports minute. When we come back.
• 2:47:19
  We've got a call to the pen. We got inside baseball and
• 2:47:22
  hopefully we might have goodies. Bag of balls it doesn't.
• 2:47:25
  Look like it. It's still in the 5th inning or
• 2:47:28
  6th inning of his game. So I don't think we have Goody
• 2:47:30
  tonight. It's an unfortunate.
• 2:47:31
  Situation, but the Goodwood is playing with his Woody Goody.
• 2:47:35
  Has no woody, as we all know. It's breaking news.
• 2:47:39
  I need Brittany also anyways. When we come back a little bit
• 2:47:42
  more and a lot more in baseball, this is.
• 2:47:47
  The Jabba and the Mouth Sportsman ads.
• 2:47:52
  All right guys, Aaron Fishman here with your sportsman and got
• 2:47:56
  a few stories before we wrap up baseball coverage tonight.
• 2:48:00
  New Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens threw some serious shade
• 2:48:04
  at his former team after the Steelers traded the enigmatic
• 2:48:07
  star player to Big D. I'm definitely excited to run
• 2:48:12
  better plays. Pickens told the media and went
• 2:48:15
  on about the fresh start he has as being a breath of fresh air
• 2:48:19
  for him. Getting a chance to play next to
• 2:48:21
  CD Lamb and with quarterback Prescott should give Pickens the
• 2:48:24
  consistency and space he lacked in Pittsburgh where he was still
• 2:48:28
  in a very effective player. The problem with Pickens will be
• 2:48:31
  if the target share between him and Lamb will be enough to keep
• 2:48:34
  both players happy and if that can return to form after a
• 2:48:37
  serious hamstring injury. Playing the second-half of this
• 2:48:40
  2024 season, even a diminished act should be an improvement
• 2:48:44
  upon the likes of Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Mason
• 2:48:47
  Rudolph, and last year's combo of Justin Fields and 36 year old
• 2:48:50
  Russell Wilson. Whether or not Pickens can stay
• 2:48:52
  happy, we'll have a lot to do with the success, or lack
• 2:48:56
  thereof, for the Cowboys this coming season.
• 2:48:59
  The A blockbuster deal is imminent in the world of sports
• 2:49:03
  as ESPN is looking prime to buy the NFL Network and Red Zone
• 2:49:08
  Channel. As reported by Andrew Marsh and
• 2:49:10
  of The Athletic, ESPN is supposed to acquire both the
• 2:49:12
  network and Red Zone Channel for at least $2 billion.
• 2:49:16
  According to a recent valuation of NFL Media, ESPN is planning
• 2:49:20
  on including them in a package they will be selling that as
• 2:49:23
  exclusive for streaming content being sold direct to consumer
• 2:49:27
  for the first time ever for 2999 a month.
• 2:49:30
  As this is not official, no further details or comment on by
• 2:49:34
  the NFL and ESPN, but reports state that this has been in the
• 2:49:36
  work for the greater works for the greater part of the past
• 2:49:39
  four years. This may radically change the
• 2:49:42
  way many of us enjoy our sports and anger many of the older
• 2:49:46
  generations who can't seem to figure out the Internet as if
• 2:49:49
  it's a Rubik's Cube on steroids. Change is a fast train, and
• 2:49:52
  where there's this much money on the table, expect this
• 2:49:55
  locomotive to be traveling at mock speed.
• 2:49:58
  And finally, current Reds manager and former Cleveland
• 2:50:01
  Guardians manager and likely future Hall of Famer Terry
• 2:50:03
  Francona had some stern words today in regards to the
• 2:50:06
  controversy over the name change of the Cleveland Guardians from
• 2:50:10
  the Indians back in 2021. President Trump has made it
• 2:50:13
  known through his post on True Social.
• 2:50:15
  Social media account that he. Wants both the Washington
• 2:50:17
  Commanders and Cleveland Guardians to revert back to
• 2:50:19
  their original names. Francona echoed the sentiments
• 2:50:22
  of current Guardians President of Baseball Operations Chris
• 2:50:26
  Antonetti, who responded to the president by saying we
• 2:50:28
  understand there are different perspectives on the decision we
• 2:50:31
  made a few years ago. But obviously it's a decision we
• 2:50:33
  made. We've got the opportunity to
• 2:50:35
  build a brand as the Guardians over the last four years and are
• 2:50:38
  excited about the future that's in front of us.
• 2:50:41
  Francona, for his part, told USA TODAY about owner Paul Dolan.
• 2:50:45
  I was really proud of him because I don't think it was
• 2:50:47
  real popular with the segment of probably the older fans that
• 2:50:50
  kind of, I guess, like Trump. Why can't it just be like it
• 2:50:53
  used to be? Like I.
• 2:50:54
  Didn't even care what they made the name in Cleveland.
• 2:50:57
  I really didn't. I just know how I was in on
• 2:51:00
  those conversations and we were trying to be respectful and for
• 2:51:04
  that I gave those guys a lot of credit.
• 2:51:07
  Politics aside, while for now the commies in Washington have
• 2:51:11
  yet to say if they are switching their names back to the
• 2:51:13
  Redskins, it certainly appears that you'll either have to put
• 2:51:16
  on some old games from before the pandemic or blast Wild Thing
• 2:51:20
  and put on Major League to watch Ricky Vaughn give them the
• 2:51:23
  heater to catch a glimpse of Indians retired mascot Chief
• 2:51:27

• 2:54:27
  he reached out to me and West says where is Manny King?

• 2:55:12
  it just or I was. Going to say or maybe it's
• 2:55:14
  choppa. Farting.
• 2:55:14
  Maybe it's a big. Maybe there's a big bad wolf out
• 2:55:17
  there we don't know about blowing houses down.
• 2:55:20
  Don't worry, this company can solve all that.
• 2:55:22
  You know who? Who do you think has the
• 2:55:23
  smelliest farts on this panel? Who do you think?
• 2:55:26
  How would I know? I mean this.
• 2:55:27
  And Jabba smoke fight, I mean. Maybe with you.
• 2:55:29
  Who do you think? I have them more than you do.
• 2:55:33
  That's as much as the sample as I have.
• 2:55:34
  I mean, Tommy's not here. He would probably take the
• 2:55:36
  title, but you're the one. With all the Alfredo sauce and
• 2:55:39
  honey mustard Arrow. Yeah, his farts don't.
• 2:55:41
  Smell. They don't smell.
• 2:55:42
  So Tommy's not here. All that cheese.
• 2:55:45
  I. Don't have no context with the
• 2:55:46
  other two, no. They don't, really.
• 2:55:48
  Don't I? I The only time they would smell
• 2:55:51
  is in the morning. Sometimes in the morning, my
• 2:55:53
  stomach rumbles. And I know when my stomach just
• 2:55:55
  rumbling, I'm gonna, I'm gonna look.
• 2:55:57
  So if we got Brittany on, yeah, she would say your farts don't
• 2:56:00
  smell 100%. OK, 100%.
• 2:56:03
  Yep, it doesn't. I'm gonna remember that.
• 2:56:05
  We're gonna. We're gonna we're gonna test
• 2:56:07
  that one out. Well, you could test whatever
• 2:56:08
  you want. The smell is the smell.
• 2:56:10
  It's like fragrance when it comes out of my ass.
• 2:56:13
  Anyways, Chopper's not laughing. I think he's a little lost on
• 2:56:19
  that one. All right.
• 2:56:21
  What? What was that job?
• 2:56:22
  What do you, what do you put your hands up?
• 2:56:23
  What was that? I can't can't say it on live,
• 2:56:26
  but I'll tell you in a minute. We call this a call to the pen.
• 2:56:33
  It's done. I think you can throw a strike
• 2:56:35
  on this pitch. It's not going to be my.
• 2:56:36
  John It feels like jello right now.
• 2:56:38
  Just get it. Over the plate, I want him to
• 2:56:39
  swing. Last time I did that the guy hit
• 2:56:41
  one. That hasn't landed yet for a
• 2:56:43
  call to the pen. All right Speedy, if you could
• 2:56:48
  do Tommye job to get the music for this I.
• 2:56:51
  Need a tonic? Yum Yum.
• 2:56:53
  Wonderful. I got a little read off for you
• 2:56:57
  job but we're going to do it like this and when I'm done I
• 2:56:59
  would love. For you to.
• 2:57:00
  Comment because I think you have some great expertise on this
• 2:57:03
  one. The trade deadline is next
• 2:57:05
  Tuesday, less than a week away. As a fan of the show, you know
• 2:57:08
  that I am a die hard fan. And I've always.
• 2:57:12
  Been dreaming up trades around this time of year for great
• 2:57:14
  players to come to my like. For example, I want the Yankees
• 2:57:18
  to get Juliano Suarez and Merrill Kelly from Arizona this
• 2:57:20
  year. They'd be perfect fixed for
• 2:57:22
  holes on the roster. They're rentals who are older
• 2:57:25
  and shouldn't cost top end prospects.
• 2:57:27
  But The thing is, I never really consider how these types of
• 2:57:30
  deals from the prognostication by people and the media like I
• 2:57:34
  am now and fans at home. He tastes families of those that
• 2:57:38
  are going to be upended by these transactions, both in the majors
• 2:57:42
  and perhaps more dramatically so for minors.
• 2:57:45
  Who aren't? Making as much money.
• 2:57:47
  Luckily for us, we only need to make a call to the pen and get
• 2:57:51
  the big righty up for some men's side info on what a trade
• 2:57:54
  deadline feels like as a player at different stages in their
• 2:57:57
  careers. And how it affects.
• 2:57:59
  Teams leading up to it and how guys fast or don't after the
• 2:58:04
  deals. Yeah, it's weird.
• 2:58:06
  I saw, I saw one in the minor leagues.
• 2:58:09
  It was. It was for Jose Molina, it's the
• 2:58:12
  Angels, and it was Jeff Canard. And.
• 2:58:15
  It was just so weird because. They're like, hey.
• 2:58:18
  Go get Canard and he was actually warming up to come into
• 2:58:20
  the game and they had just announced the trade and we're
• 2:58:23
  in, we're in AA at the time. And so this is my obviously my
• 2:58:28
  first experience, you know, at the trade deadline.
• 2:58:31
  And I was like, what? I go, what's going on?
• 2:58:33
  They're like, oh, he just got traded.
• 2:58:35
  And I'm like, what do you what do you mean?
• 2:58:36
  Like we got a game going on? They're like, it doesn't matter.
• 2:58:40
  And. So they.
• 2:58:40
  Ran down, got him and then he he came in and then it's like, hey,
• 2:58:45
  pack up your stuff. You're heading to wherever
• 2:58:49
  Anaheim's AA was and. It's a.
• 2:58:52
  Little bit harder in the minor leagues just because you don't
• 2:58:55
  have all the, I guess the extra stuff where you know they play
• 2:58:59
  in your trip, they do all that. So, but in the big leagues, the
• 2:59:03
  craziest one I've ever seen was a three team deal between the
• 2:59:06
  Rays, Mariners and the Tigers when I was with the Tigers.
• 2:59:10
  And they were. Training for Austin Jackson.
• 2:59:13
  And. Drew Smiley.
• 2:59:15
  And we were. Getting David Price and it was
• 2:59:17
  it was crazy because. It was.
• 2:59:20
  Almost like to the deadline. This is when the deadline was a
• 2:59:23
  little bit longer. It wasn't that 1259 cut off like
• 2:59:26
  it went into like 6:00 or whatever be so anyways, Austin
• 2:59:31
  Jackson's playing center. And.
• 2:59:34
  All of a sudden. He's like.
• 2:59:38
  It looks like this because we're like telling him to come in and
• 2:59:40
  we had been inside, like the brass had been back and forth
• 2:59:43
  and me and Ver like the nosiest people ever.
• 2:59:45
  So we're like, something's going down.
• 2:59:47
  So I messaged David and I was like, hey, where you at?
• 2:59:52
  And he was like. I'm on the golf course and I was
• 2:59:53
  like, you might want to head back to the trop.
• 2:59:56
  And he was like, what's up? I go, I don't know for sure, but
• 2:59:59
  something's going down. And so.
• 3:00:02
  Literally Dombrowski comes in the dugout and it's like, hey,
• 3:00:07
  we need to replace Austin Jackson right now.
• 3:00:10
  And so it's like a 2O count in the middle of like the 5th
• 3:00:12
  inning and he had to get in. He had like 2 minutes to spare
• 3:00:15
  before the deadline went in. And you know, it's, it's frantic
• 3:00:19
  because you don't know what's going on and.
• 3:00:22
  Then it's. Like hey pack up and you get 2
• 3:00:24
  days technically to meet the team.
• 3:00:27
  But. It's basically you pack up, they
• 3:00:28
  have your itinerary and it's like, hey, get to this city or
• 3:00:31
  get to where they're at and you can take your extra day if you
• 3:00:34
  want. But depending on the situation,
• 3:00:36
  most people don't. I had Ichiro traded in Seattle.
• 3:00:40
  Literally just walked across from one side to the other.
• 3:00:43
  That was that was that was interesting.
• 3:00:46
  That was that was Ichiro's a different, different character.
• 3:00:50
  Love that man. It was crazy when you get people
• 3:00:53
  like that, and I was fortunate enough to play with that decky.
• 3:00:55
  But yeah. So do you, like, fit in right
• 3:00:57
  away? Ichiro with everybody?
• 3:00:59
  Yeah. He's the best.
• 3:01:00
  The best? The best?
• 3:01:03
  I mean, he's a person that never, he never wore his his
• 3:01:07
  cleats. More than.
• 3:01:09
  Once. Wow.
• 3:01:11
  That's. Interesting and I'll help your.
• 3:01:12
  Sneaker discuss it from before. Yeah, he would.
• 3:01:15
  Wear his turfs. But his cleats, he would.
• 3:01:17
  He would only wear them one time.
• 3:01:19
  So maybe Errol Ichiro's the, you know, cleats version of you.
• 3:01:23
  You mean Kobe? Well, I'm saying Ichiro with the
• 3:01:27
  cleats. Yeah.
• 3:01:28
  Kobe was the one that, well, you got a lot of sneakers.
• 3:01:30
  You think? You think?
• 3:01:33
  I don't know, yeah. Well, I don't have that many
• 3:01:36
  cleats he's gone through from the amount of sneakers that I've
• 3:01:39
  had over the years. No way.
• 3:01:40
  But I mean, he probably went through probably around 56000
• 3:01:45
  cleats in his career if if that's that to be true, like
• 3:01:49
  Java saying, I mean, if anybody wore out his cleats, it's the
• 3:01:53
  guy who had more career hits between, you know, the MLB in
• 3:01:57
  Japan than Pete Rose, you know, so and the crazy part is I was
• 3:02:00
  reading like 5 crazy stats about Ichiro just cuz I love him and
• 3:02:04
  he's awesome. He you.
• 3:02:06
  Realize he didn't start. He didn't get over 3000 hits
• 3:02:10
  starting at like 20. He didn't have his first hit
• 3:02:13
  till he was 27. That's crazy.
• 3:02:16
  Yeah. And came into the league hitting
• 3:02:17
  200 hits every year. And so that's.
• 3:02:19
  So he's he's the oldest at 27 to get to 3000 hits.
• 3:02:25
  Who's the second oldest? He was 23 years old. 3rd baseman
• 3:02:34
  Adrian Beltre. George Bratt.
• 3:02:40
  Yaunt. George Bratt.
• 3:02:41
  Nope. Nope.
• 3:02:42
  I don't. Know who is it?
• 3:02:46
  Wade Boggs. Wade Boggs?
• 3:02:48
  Yep, of course. Of course, he's also.
• 3:02:50
  From Omaha Wade, Omaha Guy, Omaha, Omaha.
• 3:02:56
  So Jabba, you don't have to name any names if you don't want.
• 3:02:59
  And just to wrap this up, you know, each row is an example of
• 3:03:02
  a guy who definitely fit in. We there's obviously going to be
• 3:03:05
  the opposite, right. And what's what happens?
• 3:03:09
  Kevin, you close? Oh, that was quick.
• 3:03:14
  That was that What what what the hell was that?
• 3:03:17
  I mean, that was a trade. It was offseason.
• 3:03:20
  It wasn't during the year, during during the year those
• 3:03:25
  that's different because you're usually getting.
• 3:03:29
  We were always. In a position where we were
• 3:03:31
  contending, so we were always getting somebody that was
• 3:03:34
  established so. Everybody.
• 3:03:36
  Kind of had a mutual when we got David Price.
• 3:03:39
  So you were getting guys like that where if they were
• 3:03:42
  established, you weren't getting young guys where they're trying
• 3:03:45
  to get their feet wet and trying to fit in.
• 3:03:48
  That's why I've said before why I love what they do in spring
• 3:03:51
  training with these young kids is invite them to spring
• 3:03:54
  training for a couple weeks so us as older guys can get to know
• 3:03:58
  their personalities and so when they come up, they don't feel so
• 3:04:01
  uncomfortable. So I guess.
• 3:04:02
  I've. Never been in a.
• 3:04:03
  Situation like during the trade deadline where we weren't
• 3:04:07
  getting somebody that was already established where you
• 3:04:09
  you knew they were, you obviously may not know them
• 3:04:11
  personally, but you knew like of them and had played against
• 3:04:16
  them. So mutual respect.
• 3:04:17
  But yeah, the, the trade one is Eucalis for sure, 100%, but not
• 3:04:21
  at the trade deadline. Well, we know he hates Kevin
• 3:04:25
  Eucalus. There's no question that he
• 3:04:26
  does. But you know, Kevin Eucalus gets
• 3:04:29
  on base and Moneyball told us that's the most important thing
• 3:04:33
  in the game. Please, let's move on to the
• 3:04:35
  next segment. And guys, that's some great
• 3:04:37
  stuff we get to learn every week.
• 3:04:39
  Kevin freaking Eucalus. I couldn't stand him as a Red
• 3:04:43
  Sox in his swing. That weird swing that he's
• 3:04:46
  grabbing the top of the barrel made no sense.
• 3:04:49
  His teammates didn't either. He he was one of those guys
• 3:04:52
  where. It didn't.
• 3:04:55
  Matter, like it didn't matter if they won or lost.
• 3:04:57
  Like he'd be pissed if he went over 4, but if they lost and he
• 3:04:59
  went like 3 for four with like a double in three stakes, he'd be
• 3:05:03
  like super happy. Like he threw his helmet in the
• 3:05:06
  dugout one time and smoked Manny and they had to hold Manny back
• 3:05:09
  because he's like, dude, we're up six to two.
• 3:05:13
  Like what are you? Doing like, relax.
• 3:05:17
  Yeah, Well, it sounds like Eucalis.
• 3:05:19
  I mean, even when he came to the Yankees, he was an ugly SOP and
• 3:05:23
  all he does, I've heard he only he only played like 10 games
• 3:05:27
  until he broke his back. Wait, you know what's so funny
• 3:05:30
  about him is the whole story about Kevin Eucalis is the only
• 3:05:34
  the only story that I can remember listening to him is oh,
• 3:05:37
  my brother in law's Tom Brady. I'm married to his his sister.
• 3:05:40
  Who cares, dude, how I told you that?
• 3:05:42
  I told you that story about like, our fantasy.
• 3:05:44
  Yeah, that was the first time you ever on the show.
• 3:05:47
  Oh my. Gosh, I'm like.
• 3:05:49
  Is this dude me and CC were like seriously dude I think I made
• 3:05:52
  this the first time you were on the show of you fighting
• 3:05:57
  Eucalis. Does a.
• 3:05:59
  Piece. Of work, Yeah, I'm sure he was.
• 3:06:02
  That's why I had to add into the into the.
• 3:06:03
  What's that smell? I'd like to.
• 3:06:05
  Ask Tom Brady what he thinks about Kevin Euclid.
• 3:06:10
  It's probably not that good. Anyways, we have one more
• 3:06:13
  segment before we go to analytics, and we call this
• 3:06:16
  Inside Baseball. Now let's.
• 3:06:17
  Go deep, Deep inside what I am excited.
• 3:06:21
  This is inside baseball. All right, guys, here we go.
• 3:06:29
  Into. Inside baseball we got a few
• 3:06:32
  stories around the league going to lead off the top one.
• 3:06:36
  We'll get everyone to react to this main story.
• 3:06:39
  Ethan Holiday did not go first overall as expected in baseball
• 3:06:44
  draft, but the baseball draft is quite unique gentlemen.
• 3:06:48
  You don't have to go first overall to get the most money
• 3:06:51
  and Ethan Holiday got the most money ever for a bonus for were
• 3:06:57
  the Colorado Rockies selected to his father's team.
• 3:07:01
  Holiday was the 4th pick overall behind Willits Bremer Cade.
• 3:07:07
  And then? Ethan Holiday.
• 3:07:11
  How? Do we feel about $8 million for
• 3:07:15
  a guy who was the 4th pick, not the first pick and hasn't played
• 3:07:21
  a game in? First of all, and I, I always
• 3:07:24
  say this, he went to Colorado. It's his father's team.
• 3:07:26
  So obviously he comes, his father's like the king and he's
• 3:07:30
  like a Prince. He grew up around that
• 3:07:32
  organization for such a long time, the Colorado Rockies.
• 3:07:35
  I'm sure ownership adores this kid.
• 3:07:39
  I think he's going to be a superstar there.
• 3:07:40
  They're going to build the team around him just like they built
• 3:07:43
  the team around their father or his father when he was, you
• 3:07:46
  know, coming up from the minor leagues.
• 3:07:48
  I think it's a great story. I'm not going to complain that
• 3:07:51
  this guy's making. You can't argue or complain
• 3:07:53
  about the talent of this kid and how much money.
• 3:07:56
  It doesn't matter. 9,000,010 million, 12 million.
• 3:08:00
  There are college coaches making more money than that and they
• 3:08:03
  don't even deserve it. This kid is an up and coming
• 3:08:05
  superstar. He was the bona fide number one
• 3:08:08
  pick and he falls over there to four to the Colorado Rockies.
• 3:08:12
  I, I just, it's a good story. I think that's all it is.
• 3:08:15
  Stop. Talking.
• 3:08:16
  I'm not. Talking about you, but why is
• 3:08:18
  anybody complaining about how much money he makes?
• 3:08:21
  To me, those that's pennies for what this kids going to make 6-7
• 3:08:24
  years down the road when he becomes a free agent.
• 3:08:27
  So I think the kids a better player than his younger, his
• 3:08:30
  older brother. That's why what I think he
• 3:08:32
  thinks going to be. I think he's going to be a star
• 3:08:33
  in his league. Yeah, I was.
• 3:08:37
  Going to yeah, go ahead. Speedy I.
• 3:08:38
  Was going to say. Like, I think the Rockies are
• 3:08:40
  not going to be spending much money anyway.
• 3:08:41
  So they're after the Chris Bryant contract, 9 million.
• 3:08:44
  Dollars. Yeah, I don't.
• 3:08:45
  They haven't done much anyway. They're not going to go
• 3:08:47
  anywhere, so why would they try to expend the extra money?
• 3:08:49
  Like there's it's not, it's one of those things where I don't
• 3:08:51
  think it's as big of a deal because it's not really.
• 3:08:53
  There's no salary cap in baseball.
• 3:08:54
  Plus, we talked about right at the end of the lockout like how
• 3:08:57
  bad we felt for all these leaguers.
• 3:08:59
  Like. We wanted, you want.
• 3:09:00
  Them to be able to make. Some money because the
• 3:09:02
  arbitration system's just so bad you look at.
• 3:09:04
  It back-to-back years. I mean between the brothers they
• 3:09:07
  signed for over 17,000,000 so the Holiday family is doing
• 3:09:10
  pretty good. Yeah.
• 3:09:12
  It's. Just it's different because it
• 3:09:15
  you have a pool of money and like people always look at it
• 3:09:18
  like slotted or whatever, but you take a pool of money.
• 3:09:21
  He has leverage. Obviously he was not going to
• 3:09:23
  turn down any type of money being drafted in the top five.
• 3:09:26
  Like surprisingly, he fell to four, which was surprised a lot
• 3:09:29
  of us. But yeah.
• 3:09:32
  I mean, he and he can demand what he wants because he's
• 3:09:35
  young, he's out of high school, he has leverage, obviously has
• 3:09:39
  the pedigree I expect him to do. I expect him to be close to his
• 3:09:43
  brother. I didn't.
• 3:09:45
  Expect. Him to be almost $1,000,000 more
• 3:09:46
  because his brother signed for 8.1 so.
• 3:09:49
  But I mean, hats off, go make your money while you can.
• 3:09:52
  And they're going. To.
• 3:09:53
  I mean, it's a great situation for him.
• 3:09:55
  His dad obviously coaches at Oklahoma State with his brother,
• 3:09:59
  but they're not too far away. So I, I think it's, it's a great
• 3:10:03
  fit for them and I think. It gives.
• 3:10:06
  It gives Rockies fans something to cheer about, which there
• 3:10:09
  hasn't been much to cheer about. So I think it's it's a win win
• 3:10:12
  for both of them. Let's see how.
• 3:10:14
  Fast they. Shoot them.
• 3:10:16
  Up the ladder or if they kind of let him figure it out.
• 3:10:19
  Or. They're.
• 3:10:20
  Like. Hey, you got your money figured
• 3:10:22
  out in the big leagues. I could.
• 3:10:24
  I could see all situations happening really.
• 3:10:27
  So why does the 4th overall pick get more money than the top pick
• 3:10:31
  overall in baseball? How does that even make sense?
• 3:10:35
  It just kind of depends. Well.
• 3:10:37
  Agent pedigree, like there's a lot that goes into it.
• 3:10:42
  Leverage like we had a kid that got drafted in the fifth round
• 3:10:46
  last. Year.
• 3:10:48
  High school. Kid going to LSU and he got
• 3:10:50
  fifth round, but he got 1.4. So it there's leverage.
• 3:10:55
  He's they knew he was going to LSU, so let's let's overpay him
• 3:10:58
  a little bit. So it's like, oh, if you come to
• 3:11:01
  go in our farm system instead of college, we'll give you this
• 3:11:04
  money type of thing. Yeah.
• 3:11:05
  So yeah, kind of. But if you're like a junior or
• 3:11:08
  senior, it's kind of like, hey, we can ask for more and see what
• 3:11:11
  happens. But you don't have as much
• 3:11:14
  leverage on the other side of it as some of these kids that you
• 3:11:19
  know, that have that and be like, hey, I can still go.
• 3:11:22
  To. College, like I can still do
• 3:11:25
  kind of whatever I want, so yeah.
• 3:11:28
  It's more of like a. Leverage thing I would say is
• 3:11:30
  probably the biggest, biggest way to describe it because.
• 3:11:35
  If you don't. Have a choice to go anywhere,
• 3:11:38
  then it's kind of like you're stuck with your money.
• 3:11:40
  But yeah, those other guys with their picks, obviously they're
• 3:11:43
  not going to complain too much. But yeah, well, at least I at
• 3:11:47
  least I wouldn't. Baseball is very unique.
• 3:11:51
  Every other sport that I know it's like slotted in how much
• 3:11:54
  you make yeah, cuz I mean you have yeah, top five.
• 3:11:57
  I mean it gives you in the in the crazy part.
• 3:12:00
  Too is like. Three of the five top five were
• 3:12:03
  college guys and you know, it's and they give you you can go on
• 3:12:07
  and see what like the evaluation for the number one pick.
• 3:12:10
  The pick value of this year was 11,000,000 and you we were fish
• 3:12:18
  and I were talking about this off air and Bremner and like I
• 3:12:22
  think Bremner was part of it, a story.
• 3:12:25
  Because. He didn't even come close.
• 3:12:27
  Mind you, 7.6 million isn't nothing to ride.
• 3:12:30
  Oh, you know, it's like, oh, and Willis was like 882 for the
• 3:12:34
  first pick. Yeah, it was 8276.
• 3:12:37
  Kate. Anderson got 8.8 and then Ethan
• 3:12:41
  got 9 million which his pick value is 8.7 so his was closest
• 3:12:45
  to actually his pick value. So.
• 3:12:49
  But everybody else has kind of been under their pick value,
• 3:12:51
  which usually you see a lot of the high school guys be a little
• 3:12:53
  bit more it. That doesn't surprise me with
• 3:12:58
  Bremner and his and you know, he was probably crapping his pants
• 3:13:02
  when he got drafted to overall anyways.
• 3:13:03
  I was talking to Kyle Peterson from ESPN who's going to come on
• 3:13:07
  the show mid late August. I talked to him today and talk.
• 3:13:11
  About. Them stuff, but yeah, we were
• 3:13:12
  talking about it during the draft and we were like I've he
• 3:13:15
  went. Way.
• 3:13:15
  Too high, but the story's cool, so I guess we'll see what
• 3:13:18
  happens. All right, let's.
• 3:13:19
  Move on to something that we talked about a lot at the
• 3:13:22
  beginning of the season and that is Rafael Devers playing first
• 3:13:27
  base for the San Francisco Giants.
• 3:13:30
  And in his first game he played an error free game over at
• 3:13:33
  first. He went 2 for five in the at the
• 3:13:37
  plate with an RBI and a nine nothing win.
• 3:13:39
  Here's the quote from Devers, who, if you remember correctly,
• 3:13:43
  abjectly refused to play first base for the Red Sox when they
• 3:13:47
  asked him and LED to his departure there.
• 3:13:50
  He was basically ADH. He's DH most of the time since
• 3:13:52
  he's been over in San Francisco, but this is what he said.
• 3:13:55
  It keeps me active. It keeps my head out of just
• 3:13:58
  thinking about the next at bat. Deborah says that through an
• 3:14:01
  interpreter. I'm kind of the player that
• 3:14:03
  likes to be active, likes to be on the field.
• 3:14:05
  I'd rather be on the field and be in the cage hitting all the
• 3:14:08
  time and just thinking about the next at bat.
• 3:14:11
  So obviously he's not playing third base anymore.
• 3:14:15
  They got a Gold Glover and Matt Chapman over there as well, just
• 3:14:18
  like they had Bregman in Boston. But pretty big slap in the face
• 3:14:23
  to the Red Sox. He's he's butt hurt because Alex
• 3:14:27
  Breadmain came to the team, he signed a big contract, he signed
• 3:14:31
  a three-year deal and he took his spot and a lot of Reds.
• 3:14:34
  I've I've spoke to a lot of Red Sox fans over the last couple of
• 3:14:38
  weeks, ever since he was I was on my cruise when I heard Devers
• 3:14:42
  was traded to San Francisco. And then I look at the trade and
• 3:14:45
  I heard about the trade. I was like, wow, San Francisco
• 3:14:48
  ripped off the Red Sox. They gave him absolutely nothing
• 3:14:53
  Doo Doo, as you know, Niff, it was absolute Doo Doo.
• 3:14:57
  And Devers came out and said he would not play first base with
• 3:15:02
  the Red Sox at all. He he's not going to play the
• 3:15:05
  field if he's not playing third base.
• 3:15:07
  I just think it shows you that Devers couldn't stand being
• 3:15:11
  there anymore. He thought that the Red Sox
• 3:15:13
  backstabbed him by bringing Bregman in after paying him
• 3:15:18
  what, a year before that, a lot of money, over $300 million when
• 3:15:22
  he could have went to the Mets as the story was that the that's
• 3:15:26
  were gunning for him if he went to free agency.
• 3:15:28
  He just thought that the Red Sox stabbed them in the back.
• 3:15:31
  I could understand that when you're making $300 million a job
• 3:15:34
  and you know this, you never even got a chance to make 300.
• 3:15:37
  Why are you bitching and moaning?
• 3:15:39
  Go play the game. If they want you to play first,
• 3:15:41
  they want you to play this center field position or you
• 3:15:44
  they want you to sit on your derriere and just be ADH as
• 3:15:49
  we've seen people and players do later in their careers.
• 3:15:53
  You do what they want when they're paying you that kind of
• 3:15:55
  money. So I, I don't know the butt
• 3:15:57
  hurt. But now he's not even
• 3:15:59
  complaining about playing first base with San Francisco.
• 3:16:01
  It just shows you how immature Raphael Devers was and why the
• 3:16:07
  Red Sox decided to part ways with them now.
• 3:16:09
  It's interesting. Because obviously you want to
• 3:16:11
  take shots at the Red Sox with how bad he felt like he was
• 3:16:14
  mistreated by the organization and rightfully so.
• 3:16:15
  And I think this is mostly what that is.
• 3:16:17
  Now, it's interesting with the internal culture with the
• 3:16:19
  Giants, Like he hasn't really brought the big, big offense.
• 3:16:22
  He himself has played well, but the rest of the offense has not
• 3:16:25
  played great around him. Some of that has to do with
• 3:16:27
  injuries too. So you wonder how much maybe the
• 3:16:28
  internal culture is still affecting the Giants.
• 3:16:30
  Just getting used to him because the Red Sox have played better
• 3:16:33
  since he's Lafia. They had 10 game-winning trigger
• 3:16:35
  at all, a lot of against bad teams out into the All Star
• 3:16:38
  break and the giants, they had a six game losing streak recently.
• 3:16:41
  So maybe still getting used to the internal culture with that.
• 3:16:44
  But yeah, he has a right to say, all right, I'm going to go take
• 3:16:46
  a shot at the Red Sox organization for the way I got
• 3:16:48
  treated. I.
• 3:16:49
  Just, I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
• 3:16:50
  It's just he, he got buttered because they did.
• 3:16:53
  Bregman thought they were taking his position away, realized
• 3:16:56
  that. Well, you know what?
• 3:16:57
  Let me swallow my pride, see what can happen.
• 3:17:00
  I don't know if you guys saw will Clark go at him like to,
• 3:17:03
  you know, work on his footwork and you know, will coming out
• 3:17:05
  and saying you're going to work with me, blah, blah blah, I
• 3:17:08
  think. He just.
• 3:17:08
  Realized that you know, if I if I am going to do what I think
• 3:17:11
  I'm best at and that's me not thinking about the next at bat,
• 3:17:14
  then playing first is the only only option I really got so.
• 3:17:18
  You know you. Got to swallow your pride
• 3:17:19
  sometimes and you know, we'll see what happens.
• 3:17:22
  OK, we go from there and we're going to kind of rapid fire
• 3:17:26
  these next few ones. The Dodgers bullpen takes
• 3:17:29
  another hit before today where they had a walk off.
• 3:17:33
  They've got blown out again blew up another lead late in games.
• 3:17:37
  They a closer Tanner Scott felt a twinge in the old forearm
• 3:17:42
  Jabba and and immediately Winston came out of the game.
• 3:17:45
  He was put on the 15 day IL. Why they still have a 15 day and
• 3:17:49
  a 10 day? I don't really understand.
• 3:17:51
  I I never really understood why there's one or the other or how
• 3:17:55
  we decide one gets the other. But regardless, it doesn't sound
• 3:17:59
  good. They were already talking about
• 3:18:01
  getting some more relievers because let's just listen to the
• 3:18:04
  the just the list of guys they have on this IL right now.
• 3:18:09
  Michael Kopesh, Blake Trinon, Bruce Agraderol, all injured.
• 3:18:14
  Trinon should be coming back soon.
• 3:18:16
  Are we surprised? Are we surprised they're they're
• 3:18:20
  using Alexis Diaz who flamed out with the Reds?
• 3:18:23
  As like. Their best reliever right now.
• 3:18:25
  Nobody is surprised that right now the Dodgers are playing with
• 3:18:29
  a burnt out bullpen, even their roster when it comes to that
• 3:18:32
  pitching. I mean, they have Glass now in.
• 3:18:35
  They have Glass now out. Oh, Tonys back, Is he?
• 3:18:39
  Is he going to pitch a full season?
• 3:18:41
  Sasaki? I mean, you paid him a lot of
• 3:18:43
  money, Glass. Glass now went 7 and 12.
• 3:18:46
  Yeah, he had a great start today.
• 3:18:48
  Glass now when? 7 innings, 12 strikeouts.
• 3:18:50
  Best start he's had all year. But that's the problem.
• 3:18:52
  Best start? That's hit.
• 3:18:54
  Or miss. And then if you're healthy,
• 3:18:56
  yeah. Well.
• 3:18:56
  That's that's the problem with the Dodgers and that's what we
• 3:18:58
  said you could pay all the money.
• 3:19:00
  You can spend all the money. Money doesn't always make you a
• 3:19:04
  champion. As we yes, as we said, seen this
• 3:19:07
  with the Yankees for many, many years.
• 3:19:09
  And now we're seeing it what the last time the Yankees won was
• 3:19:12
  2009. The Yankees have spend, they've
• 3:19:14
  had, as far as the cap is concerned, one of the highest in
• 3:19:18
  baseball, if not the highest, and they still can't get over
• 3:19:21
  the hump. So my, my factual thought to
• 3:19:24
  this, this is the Dodgers are going to still be in it to win
• 3:19:27
  it. They're still going to go out
• 3:19:29
  there. They got a great farm system.
• 3:19:31
  If they want a pitcher or two or three, they're going to spend
• 3:19:35
  the money. They're going to spend the
• 3:19:37
  talent to bring those guys in because they're going to have a
• 3:19:40
  chance no matter what in the playoffs.
• 3:19:43
  When you have a healthy roster with this talent, I I don't
• 3:19:46
  think it's going to make a difference.
• 3:19:48
  I just, I'm not surprised I'm not.
• 3:19:50
  Yeah, the one thing. There's a Dodgers do well in
• 3:19:52
  addition to spending money too, is that they actually do a great
• 3:19:54
  job rebirthing bench players and both pitchers have failed on
• 3:19:59
  other teams a lot of the time. Kopeck was one of those guys
• 3:20:01
  last year. He was a starter with the White
• 3:20:02
  Sox for a while. He had a lot of injury problems,
• 3:20:04
  so never developed that same way.
• 3:20:05
  And they've done that for years too.
• 3:20:07
  So there's going to be two of those types of guys on selling
• 3:20:10
  teams that were top prospects. They won't be surprised if they
• 3:20:12
  fit right into this bullpen. Yeah, so.
• 3:20:16
  Fish difference between 10 and 15 tennis position players, 15
• 3:20:19
  as pitchers. Oh, I.
• 3:20:21
  Had no idea. That's so fascinating.
• 3:20:23
  OK, I guess that makes sense as far as like how many starts they
• 3:20:26
  would miss in that situation. So before we get out of this
• 3:20:29
  one. Who are they?
• 3:20:31
  Trading for. Now.
• 3:20:33
  If it's me, I know who I want to be my closer.
• 3:20:37
  If I'm the Dodgers and it has to be Mason Miller on the
• 3:20:40
  Athletics, he has by far the best stuff on a team that is
• 3:20:44
  going nowhere. Like always, I think the.
• 3:20:47
  Phillies are going to get. They almost did last year.
• 3:20:49
  I know they're going. To want a lot for him.
• 3:20:51
  But if this is the Dodgers we're talking about, they have a lot.
• 3:20:55
  This is the guy you go get and he's not that far away.
• 3:20:58
  Playing in Sacramento right now. That guy.
• 3:21:01
  Is unbelievable. Who else Speedy is available
• 3:21:03
  right now at the deadline for them.
• 3:21:05
  I think what it is is. More it's more of a process
• 3:21:08
  thing for them is that's more of what I'm getting at with like
• 3:21:10
  rebirthing guys that were not thought of that way.
• 3:21:12
  I think Tony Goslin was a good example of that.
• 3:21:15
  I think he was a journeyman for a while.
• 3:21:17
  They've done that with a lot of the Nationals relievers that
• 3:21:20
  they traded for over the years. That's more of what I'm getting
• 3:21:23
  at. I think it's going to be like
• 3:21:23
  two or three guys that are very random or like we're failed
• 3:21:26
  prospects somewhere else, is what I'm thinking.
• 3:21:28
  Maybe one of the youngsters with the Orioles.
• 3:21:29
  Maybe they get one of those guardians.
• 3:21:31
  They've got a ton of arms in their ball pack.
• 3:21:33
  Yeah, yeah, Class A is being rumored to be on the move.
• 3:21:37
  If they can't snap out. I don't think it's going.
• 3:21:38
  To be anyone big for the dodge, I think it's going to be like
• 3:21:40
  two or three, like surprise ones.
• 3:21:43
  Oh no, man, Jamie. Lee says Stearns better get the
• 3:21:45
  Mets another relief pitcher. I agree and I would.
• 3:21:48
  Look at the Guardians for that. Not Class A necessarily because
• 3:21:50
  I think he'll be too pricey, but I wouldn't one mind.
• 3:21:52
  Herron or Gaddis are one of those guys for the Mets.
• 3:21:56
  All. Right.
• 3:21:57
  Well, there was a real fascinating thing, Errol.
• 3:21:59
  As you know, you're the elder statesman on this program.
• 3:22:02
  Thank you. But even this guy who pitched 5
• 3:22:05
  innings earlier on this so rich. Mr. Rich Hill, 45 years young,
• 3:22:15
  returns to start for the Royals at the age of 45.
• 3:22:19
  Made his debut Tuesday night. Lil Rusty did his five innings,
• 3:22:24
  three runs, one strikeout, you know, 90 pitches.
• 3:22:29
  Got through 5 innings though, at age 45 in Major League Baseball.
• 3:22:33
  Top Brave on junior team, 14th team.
• 3:22:36
  Yeah, playing. Against the team that drafted
• 3:22:38
  him many, many, many years ago, I got to.
• 3:22:42
  I got to give. This guy, a lot of credit
• 3:22:44
  because anybody that could get back into the big league,
• 3:22:47
  stepping away from it for a little bit of time and then gets
• 3:22:50
  back on a mound and could just throw.
• 3:22:52
  I know our boy Nick Goody was trying to do that early this
• 3:22:55
  season. He was throwing on the mound.
• 3:22:57
  He was posting it up on Instagram.
• 3:22:59
  Oh, I got 91, I got to 92. If I can hit 95, I'm going to.
• 3:23:04
  I can definitely try out for a big league team.
• 3:23:07
  Father. Time usually hits you and when
• 3:23:09
  it hits you, it hits you flat on your ass.
• 3:23:12
  I, I, I am impressed that Rich Hill could still be able to
• 3:23:16
  throw the ball in a Major League level.
• 3:23:18
  I just think, you know, when you know, it's over, it's over.
• 3:23:24
  And I just, I'm not going to bet on this, but if anybody could do
• 3:23:29
  it, it's Rich Hill because I've seen him do crazy things.
• 3:23:33
  He was playing for the Long Island Ducks before he came back
• 3:23:36
  to the majors. And then he got that $40 million
• 3:23:38
  contract from the Dodgers, which I was just like shocked that the
• 3:23:42
  Dodgers would pay him that kind of money.
• 3:23:44
  Just think, you step away from baseball, you're paying to play
• 3:23:48
  baseball with the Ducks, and now you're making $40 million
• 3:23:52
  because you had one good season and the Dodgers give you that
• 3:23:55
  extension. I mean, incredible story.
• 3:23:57
  I mean, this could be a storybook ending and maybe they
• 3:24:00
  make a movie out of it. It'll be a movie.
• 3:24:01
  That's literally what I was. Saying, though, with the Dodgers
• 3:24:03
  making random dudes good again, Rich Hill got his career, like
• 3:24:06
  rebirthed it away. It's bumped around many
• 3:24:08
  different teams, obviously. I think he had two stints with
• 3:24:09
  the Disney. We should pitch this to Disney.
• 3:24:11
  Yeah, but. Yeah, definitely.
• 3:24:13
  Incredible story, Rich I'll. Be your agent for this one.
• 3:24:16
  Definitely a great. Story.
• 3:24:17
  I know Disney had that. Movie The Rookie years ago about
• 3:24:20
  that pitcher. Well, this one would be the
• 3:24:22
  journeyman, right? It'd just be like, yeah.
• 3:24:25
  He's just. Everywhere.
• 3:24:27
  He's played for literally everybody in this entire league.
• 3:24:30
  I guess at this point Jim Moore just mentioning.
• 3:24:32
  Jim Jamie Moore That would be I guess this generation's version
• 3:24:35
  of that. Moyer was a.
• 3:24:36
  Better player great, but just say you.
• 3:24:38
  Like launch Ebony was and we got.
• 3:24:40
  One last thing to do, guys. I want to end this segment by
• 3:24:43
  taking a look at the standings in baseball right now.
• 3:24:48
  Do we have to? We got this 100 games into the
• 3:24:51
  season, all right. We're about 100 games in.
• 3:24:54
  We'll start with the National League.
• 3:24:56
  Mets 1/2 up. On the.
• 3:24:58
  Phillies as this. Moment.
• 3:25:01
  Norland. 'S under 500 Braves season from
• 3:25:04
  hell. Nationals not being taken
• 3:25:06
  seriously. We'll start with the NL East.
• 3:25:09
  It's 2. Horse race guys, the beginning
• 3:25:12
  of the season, we thought the Braves would be involved a
• 3:25:15
  little bit more than this, but are we talking about two real
• 3:25:21
  contenders or are we talking about two really flawed teams
• 3:25:25
  that need to make a big move? Right now, the only team in that
• 3:25:28
  division has a chance to win a championship this year, and this
• 3:25:31
  is not hatred to the Mets, is the Philadelphia Phillies.
• 3:25:35
  They're the only team that I think when it comes down to the
• 3:25:39
  playoffs and the Dodgers and the National League, because I think
• 3:25:43
  there'll be a surprise team in the National League that could
• 3:25:46
  make a run. There's nobody besides Philly.
• 3:25:49
  I know the Mets and Mets fans, I want to believe all the better
• 3:25:52
  than they were last year and they made that run.
• 3:25:55
  That was last year and this is this year.
• 3:25:57
  It's a different time, it's a different game.
• 3:26:01
  And again, you got to get a lot of luck.
• 3:26:03
  And the Mets were very lucky last year with some of the
• 3:26:06
  timely hitting they had throughout the playoffs.
• 3:26:08
  So I don't know if an Arizona. Getting hurt a bunch I don't.
• 3:26:12
  Know if Lindor can get as hot as he did and.
• 3:26:15
  And obviously it's cold right now.
• 3:26:17
  Yeah. I just, I don't know.
• 3:26:19
  I don't think it's going to be possible.
• 3:26:21
  The Mets are making the playoffs.
• 3:26:22
  I just think they're going to fall short again this year.
• 3:26:25
  Then I'm making it to the NLCS. So it's Philadelphia's the only
• 3:26:29
  team out of the bunk. They're the better.
• 3:26:30
  Team with more experience, yeah, and I think Speedy, why don't.
• 3:26:32
  You take the the central. We got to move this segment.
• 3:26:35
  I apologize. You got to move this one along.
• 3:26:37
  Why don't you take the central? The Central also has two big
• 3:26:41
  dogs, and one of them is a major surprise.
• 3:26:44
  Milwaukee sitting a game ahead of the Cubs right now in the
• 3:26:48
  lead of the Central 20 games. Are you surprised?
• 3:26:50
  Over 5. 100 the Reds few games over 500 the Cardinals one game.
• 3:26:55
  Where's goody? Where's goody?
• 3:26:57
  Because I want to, I want to stick it to Goody right now that
• 3:27:00
  Cincinnati is falling flat on their face.
• 3:27:03
  I told you, Goody, they're not good.
• 3:27:05
  They're not good. I mean, there's still.
• 3:27:07
  Only two, two hours they're. OK, though it's not.
• 3:27:09
  Dead yet they're not. Making the playoffs, it's.
• 3:27:13
  Going. To be tough for them.
• 3:27:14
  But what, speedy? What?
• 3:27:16
  Why don't you tell us a little bit about, Yeah, the surprising
• 3:27:19
  Brewers, Yeah? It's.
• 3:27:21
  Interesting because the Brewers in like I think 3 out of the
• 3:27:24
  four, like super like when you look at hitting like the biggest
• 3:27:28
  priorities with advanced stats, they're actually like bottom
• 3:27:30
  five in the league. So it's crazy like this pace
• 3:27:33
  that they're on right now and they're beating a lot of.
• 3:27:34
  Really good teams, so. They have the best record in the
• 3:27:36
  National League against above 500 teams.
• 3:27:39
  They just swept the Dodgers. I think that's cold.
• 3:27:41
  Sex. They won five, got a six.
• 3:27:42
  Against the Dodgers in a span, they did well against the
• 3:27:45
  Giants, they've done well against the Cubs.
• 3:27:47
  The one matches that they had with an offense that still is
• 3:27:50
  very flawed, like I was concerned about the line.
• 3:27:53
  The Brewers line of death is not very good at all.
• 3:27:56
  And then the Cubs to the other extreme, the Cubs have did,
• 3:27:59
  besides the Dodgers, the best offense in the league and they
• 3:28:01
  have very questionable pitching. And so it's kind of a weird
• 3:28:04
  dynamic of two extreme teams the way it is.
• 3:28:07
  The Cubs have a better run differential.
• 3:28:09
  It's probably a little more sustainable at this point.
• 3:28:11
  The Brewers, you think they cool off eventually, but they have a
• 3:28:13
  they have a system, a factory that works with their pitching
• 3:28:16
  that they can get so many guys even losing guys to make work.
• 3:28:19
  My brother Troy, when I saw him recently, compared to the
• 3:28:23
  American League version of the Rays, they're looking like that
• 3:28:25
  right now. He's they're not.
• 3:28:27
  You know what it is with you and I, I got to say this.
• 3:28:30
  I, it bothers the hell out of me and I, I know I'm not taking
• 3:28:35
  shots at any of your brothers. You spit out so much lyrics and
• 3:28:40
  I mean a lot. And you come to one thing and
• 3:28:44
  you mentioned your brother in comparison to one team to
• 3:28:47
  another. I, I do not see a comparison
• 3:28:50
  like that. Your problem is, is when you
• 3:28:52
  listen to something, you always use it in a monologue or in your
• 3:28:56
  conversations that scare people away.
• 3:28:59
  This is not the same team. So I, I, and in the same
• 3:29:02
  conversation that we've had off air on some of the things that
• 3:29:05
  you say. It irks me when you say things
• 3:29:08
  like this and then you fall flat on your face when you're wrong
• 3:29:11
  about it, including your brothers.
• 3:29:14
  It's horrible. I can't compare one team to
• 3:29:16
  another in another year, especially what he's trying to
• 3:29:19
  compare right now. It's not true.
• 3:29:21
  It's not true. So.
• 3:29:24
  The job. Let's let's give you the West
• 3:29:27
  Dodgers way ahead of everybody, 17 games, 99% of the world, the
• 3:29:31
  Padres only eight games over, kind of in the same falling off
• 3:29:35
  trajectory as the Giants, who are a game and a half behind
• 3:29:39
  them. Those teams were right there
• 3:29:41
  with the Dodgers. What happened to those guys?
• 3:29:43
  This is an interesting division. We didn't think the giants would
• 3:29:47
  even stand a chance in in this division And and they're holding
• 3:29:51
  on. I mean, they're it's crazy to
• 3:29:53
  see like, you know how the differentials are so are so vast
• 3:29:57
  and obviously some of these top teams and they even 2nd place
• 3:30:00
  teams. But I, I think what comes down
• 3:30:02
  to it is just the depth and what like, even with all the injuries
• 3:30:05
  from the pitching staff of what the Dodgers have, it's just the
• 3:30:08
  depth of what they can do and score runs and, and.
• 3:30:11
  How they? Go about scoring runs and and
• 3:30:13
  they can score them in bunches at times.
• 3:30:15
  I mean, show he's at 5 homers in a row and then the Padres.
• 3:30:19
  Padres talent is deep. Their pitching is is is
• 3:30:23
  something to to see if it holds up.
• 3:30:27
  I'd love the division and you're going to get two of them out of
• 3:30:30
  it to see if the Giants can hold up is probably going to be is
• 3:30:35
  going to be the biggest question.
• 3:30:36
  I mean, Ver got his first win. If you could get him on a roll
• 3:30:40
  in the second-half, that could be a different, that could be
• 3:30:42
  the difference maker. But.
• 3:30:44
  I think it's still a 2 headed race in that monster.
• 3:30:47
  All right, let's move over to the American League.
• 3:30:50
  Let's. Put that one.
• 3:30:51
  Up on the screen American League East, Yankees four games back at
• 3:30:56
  Toronto. Lost again tonight.
• 3:30:59
  The Red Sox are only one game back in the win column of the
• 3:31:02
  Yankees, but have 3 losses in hand for the Yanks.
• 3:31:05
  So they're two games behind the Yankees.
• 3:31:07
  Technically. The Rays three got games behind
• 3:31:09
  the Yankees. All of them are over 500.
• 3:31:12
  The Yankees had a big, big early lead.
• 3:31:15
  You know, they're the best defensive team in baseball and
• 3:31:18
  they're savages. But Errol, are they going to be
• 3:31:22
  able to come out of this division?
• 3:31:23
  The way this is looking, I think the Yankees will make one, maybe
• 3:31:27
  two or three big moves. I don't see Brian Cashman
• 3:31:31
  sitting Pat with what the Yankees are producing right now
• 3:31:34
  offensively and even the pitching wise, they need bullpen
• 3:31:38
  arms. I expect them to get one big 1.
• 3:31:40
  And I also expect the Yankees, if they had a bat, maybe 2.
• 3:31:44
  The Yankees are going to be in it to win it no matter what.
• 3:31:47
  This is an organization that expects superstars and expect
• 3:31:52
  winning and making the playoffs every single year.
• 3:31:54
  Are they going to win? I don't know.
• 3:31:56
  They they definitely need some bats in the middle of that
• 3:31:59
  lineup. There's not enough hitting and
• 3:32:01
  consistency where they're going to get over the hump.
• 3:32:04
  I I do not, I think it's fool's gold right now to believe that
• 3:32:07
  the Blue Jays are playing at a high level and they're going to
• 3:32:10
  continue doing this for the next 80 games.
• 3:32:13
  I do not see that as much as I think the Blue Jays are
• 3:32:17
  sensational and what they've done in the last five weeks.
• 3:32:20
  And as far as the Red Sox are concerned, the Red Sox are going
• 3:32:23
  to fall flat on their face like they always do over the last
• 3:32:26
  three to four years. They're not going anywhere.
• 3:32:29
  And I like Alex Bregman and if I was Alex, even with the contract
• 3:32:34
  he's going to buy, he's going to step out of that contract at the
• 3:32:37
  end of the season because he's not going to.
• 3:32:39
  He's having such a great year. He can get more money.
• 3:32:42
  Don't be surprised if he doesn't end up a Red Sox next year.
• 3:32:46
  I expect him to go to free agency and show me the money, as
• 3:32:50
  we all heard with Jerry Maguire. So I expect that to happen
• 3:32:54
  again. Speedy, I'm going to give you
• 3:32:56
  the West. We'll let Jabba talk about the
• 3:32:59
  Central where you played for two of those.
• 3:33:00
  Slots. So speedy, the West is looking
• 3:33:04
  very simple. You're a.
• 3:33:06
  Houston, I don't think they're. Cheating anymore, but they're
• 3:33:09
  still winning somehow. I can't believe it at the
• 3:33:11
  beginning of the season, but there they are.
• 3:33:13
  Game's over. The Seattle.
• 3:33:15
  Mariners six games over and the six games back of Houston, TX
• 3:33:21
  starting to come around a little bit.
• 3:33:23
  Three games over 500. Jacob degrom obviously has made
• 3:33:26
  a difference over there. Speedy.
• 3:33:29
  Talk about a little bit. About Texas is comeback, you
• 3:33:33
  know, like this big comeback from Texas who really were an
• 3:33:35
  afterthought series team not that long ago, my friend yeah,
• 3:33:40
  they were an. Afterthought but they always had
• 3:33:41
  a good run differential, it was just a matter of if their
• 3:33:43
  offense could even be league average because their pitching
• 3:33:45
  was really good and it was being wasted for a while for the first
• 3:33:47
  probably 2 1/2 months of the season.
• 3:33:49
  But now is actually playing a little better where if they can
• 3:33:52
  just get league average offense with the shocking and wet with
• 3:33:55
  the area, what they what they have a couple of deadline moves
• 3:33:58
  they'll probably need because their young players haven't been
• 3:34:00
  great outside of Josh. I think he's been in and out
• 3:34:03
  with injury as well. And trims or not, that I think
• 3:34:07
  gives the Rangers still the highest upside a little more
• 3:34:10
  than the Mariners. I think the Mariners are still
• 3:34:11
  kind of battling a lot of injuries.
• 3:34:12
  So I think they're kind of what they've always been that always
• 3:34:15
  team, the first team out type thing.
• 3:34:17
  I don't really see much upside besides that depth wise in their
• 3:34:22
  organizational system as well. Their stars are there, no doubt,
• 3:34:25
  but they they lack depth. And do they have enough to
• 3:34:27
  trade? I have.
• 3:34:28
  No clue. All.
• 3:34:30
  Right. Java.
• 3:34:31
  Let's talk Central a little bit here to wrap it up.
• 3:34:34
  We got the Tigers running away with the division best pitcher
• 3:34:37
  in baseball on that squad and Tarek school over there and a
• 3:34:42
  lot of other guys having good years.
• 3:34:43
  Casey Mize, Obviously they have to keep together that bullpen.
• 3:34:48
  That might be a team that looks for a guy to just put the icing
• 3:34:51
  on the cake. Are the Tigers for real?
• 3:34:54
  And do your old squads of the Guardians or Royals sitting in
• 3:34:57
  second and third have anything to muster?
• 3:35:01
  I think if. If, if it's anybody, honestly, I
• 3:35:04
  think it's the Guardians. Just with the leadership, I
• 3:35:08
  mean. It's tough.
• 3:35:10
  Too tigers coming out of it and they've they've gone 1 and 9 and
• 3:35:13
  lost their last 11 of 13. So obviously not the start you
• 3:35:17
  want coming out of the break, but I just I think depending on.
• 3:35:24
  I think. You're probably right with the
• 3:35:26
  Tigers, like maybe I would say a mid level move.
• 3:35:30
  I don't think it needs to be anything drastic.
• 3:35:32
  Maybe, maybe add another arm. Do I think Tark's going to do it
• 3:35:36
  again? Yeah.
• 3:35:37
  He's, he's proven he has the ability, he has the endurance
• 3:35:40
  and and we've seen it from back-to-back years.
• 3:35:42
  So I think if there's anybody that could muster up anything,
• 3:35:45
  I, I love that the Royals are overachieving because it makes
• 3:35:48
  for good conversation, you know, over here because we, we didn't
• 3:35:53
  think they were going to do near this and, you know, see.
• 3:35:56
  The guys you know. Pasquano, his story is great.
• 3:35:59
  Like a couple years ago he's getting paid 8 bucks to flip
• 3:36:02
  burgers and now he's hitting Homer.
• 3:36:03
  So he just had two, I think 2:00 today and Salvy hit another one.
• 3:36:07
  So they're a. Fun.
• 3:36:08
  Energetic team to watch, I just think they're not deep enough to
• 3:36:13
  to. To catch.
• 3:36:14
  Cleveland. And then the Tigers.
• 3:36:16
  Really have to just Rea all over themselves to to not make a spot
• 3:36:21
  out of them. And I.
• 3:36:23
  Think the Royals really miss Reagan's this year?
• 3:36:26
  I think that's probably the biggest thing that's called sex.
• 3:36:29
  We'll visit some more baseball stories next week, though.
• 3:36:32
  Doesn't he look like Dracula side baseball?
• 3:36:35
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have one more segment of the
• 3:36:38
  night. No book goodies, Bag of balls.
• 3:36:40
  And Speedy, are you packing any balls tonight?
• 3:36:42
  Not that I know. Of so you have no balls, not.
• 3:36:45
  That I know. Of no testes.
• 3:36:46
  What? You said you had balls, right?
• 3:36:49
  I have some, I don't know if I'm packing them, no if.
• 3:36:53
  You're not packing them? Then where are they?
• 3:36:54
  Where would they? Be.
• 3:36:56
  Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They're not.
• 3:36:58
  Being. Moved.
• 3:36:59
  Well, then they're on you, right?
• 3:37:01
  They're attached. So.
• 3:37:02
  They're a part of you. There you go.
• 3:37:04
  We're that's what we're talking about.
• 3:37:05
  Speaking of dis attached to most of the things that come out of
• 3:37:10
  this kids mouth, mouth or math. We call this analytics ladies.
• 3:37:15
  And. Gentlemen.
• 3:37:16
  And now I want. Everybody together to go ahead.
• 3:37:22
  And say. Penis, penis, penis, vagina,
• 3:37:25
  vagina, vagina man. Welcome back everybody to yet
• 3:37:33
  another that's episode of Anal Lytics Equality Educational
• 3:37:38
  Experience. If you are new to the show or
• 3:37:42
  you haven't stuck around to the end and you are lucky enough to
• 3:37:46
  be still on the air right now, this is a game show between
• 3:37:49
  Errol and Speedy. The way this one works, there's
• 3:37:52
  a mystery term that both of them will have to solve.
• 3:37:55
  They will have up to three clues to solve it and whoever gets it
• 3:37:57
  right and the fewest amount of clues is the winner.
• 3:38:01
  This week there is a catch. They have a tiebreaker.
• 3:38:04
  They have to use it in a sentence correctly.
• 3:38:07
  If they both get in the same amount of clues, whoever had the
• 3:38:09
  best sentence is the winner. There's a catch to all of this,
• 3:38:13
  though, because Speedy is our guru of sports analytics.
• 3:38:17
  He will ask Errol, who's more of an eye test man, a
• 3:38:20
  traditionalist. A Sports.
• 3:38:22
  Analytical term to have to solve.
• 3:38:25
  On the other hand, we can't ask Speedy those questions.
• 3:38:27
  We have to ask him something that he will equally not know.
• 3:38:30
  Well, those are going to be sexual innuendos.
• 3:38:34
  Errol has been stumping Speedy with these.
• 3:38:37
  It feels like the greater part of the 21st century, I think.
• 3:38:43
  Speedy. 'S got one right?
• 3:38:45
  One or. Two I've won.
• 3:38:47
  I've won I think 3 but I the one of them was just because I used
• 3:38:51
  something with Halle Berry and Errol liked it at the sentence
• 3:38:53
  or something. Yeah.
• 3:38:56
  I think like you won two and I think or like you got two of
• 3:39:00
  them, right, but you've won three.
• 3:39:02
  Yeah, that. Sounds like, I think.
• 3:39:03
  Let's get the. Music on right now and let's get
• 3:39:06
  the big reveal Speedy. For.
• 3:39:10
  Your analytical term. Of the evening.
• 3:39:13
  All right, so this week we're doing.
• 3:39:14
  Football. It is Pepa.
• 3:39:16
  Peppa Pepa, The Peppa P/E. PA
• 3:39:36
  position. Nope.
• 3:39:42
  Well, that's wrong right off the bat.
• 3:39:43
  So that was the wild guess Rounds.
• 3:39:45
  It's now time for the big reveal.
• 3:39:48
  We all are always holding our breath on this one in more ways
• 3:39:51
  than one. Errol, the music is on all
• 3:39:53
  right. Speed, Are you ready for this?
• 3:39:55
  All right, I had better get this one so I could use Nathan in a
• 3:39:58
  sentence. The.
• 3:40:01
  Angry dragon, OH. Boy, oh.
• 3:40:04
  No, this one. This is kind of a.
• 3:40:07
  Classic one. Yep, all.
• 3:40:08
  Right, so obviously the Dragons breathe fire.
• 3:40:12
  So somebody is so a guy on the right path.
• 3:40:16
  Passing. Heat.
• 3:40:19
  While like. Exhaling like big breath.
• 3:40:22
  While making out. With a woman.
• 3:40:31
  I thought he was going to use the.
• 3:40:32
  I thought he was going to keep going with where the fire was
• 3:40:34
  coming from Well, I mean it's a wild guess and you know what
• 3:40:38
  it's really about an A for effort in this round E boys
• 3:40:41
  definitely got that, but now it's time to flip the script
• 3:40:45
  let's get some clues in here The music's back on speedy for pepa
• 3:40:50
  all right so so. The first P is what you would
• 3:40:53
  consider a. A result in your favor is.
• 3:40:57
  You would think of it as a blank for you.
• 3:40:59
  The E is a word for something that is supposed to happen and
• 3:41:07
  then the a. The the other P is just simply
• 3:41:12
  something you score. The a is a math term.
• 3:41:19
  Yeah. I I had to look.
• 3:41:21
  This one I wasn't even close. I'm.
• 3:41:25
  I'm not even sure on this one. I know at least the first half
• 3:41:28
  of it though. Say that one more time.
• 3:41:31
  All right, so the. First, P if if a result goes in
• 3:41:34
  your favor, it's considered a blank outcome for you.
• 3:41:38
  Positive. Yep.
• 3:41:40
  So E is something that's supposed to happen.
• 3:41:43
  Another word for that. Spell positive so I've never.
• 3:41:48
  Heard it like just P. I've always heard it as EPA.
• 3:41:52
  Yes. This one's actually specifically
• 3:41:53
  for defensive players and E. Is what?
• 3:41:56
  What is it? Something.
• 3:41:58
  Another a word for something that's supposed to happen.
• 3:42:02
  With an E, yeah. I have no idea.
• 3:42:08
  I don't know. All right.
• 3:42:12
  See. All right.
• 3:42:14
  Let's move on back the other way.
• 3:42:17
  Let's get the music on. Errol Speedy needs some clues on
• 3:42:21
  the Angry Dragon blowing a load on something.
• 3:42:30
  OK, so the heat you say on. Or in on in.
• 3:42:38
  Get the. Load on so so the heat.
• 3:42:40
  Is coming from what you claimed, that what Brittany claimed had
• 3:42:43
  something smelled of yours that I don't.
• 3:42:46
  Think, I don't think Speedy can imagine doing this so he's not
• 3:42:49
  going to get this one tonight. So all.
• 3:42:52
  Right. So the heat, let's say is coming
• 3:42:54
  from your ass after eating too much spicy food.
• 3:42:58
  Now the question is where is it going into is another question.
• 3:43:01
  That's a good question. Where is it going into?
• 3:43:04
  So where lots of lots of spicy food coming out of a guy's ass.
• 3:43:11
  Into. I feel like it has to be into
• 3:43:16
  the mouth because it's a dragon. You're in the right.
• 3:43:21
  Direction. I like it.
• 3:43:25
  It's in the right. Direction.
• 3:43:27
  What's going in that direction is not correct, but.
• 3:43:30
  We. Are getting closer round one of
• 3:43:33
  clues is done moving on to two Speedy give him another clue for
• 3:43:39
  Pepa all right so we'll go back. To the EA little bit later we'll
• 3:43:42
  go to we'll go to pay you. In any sport, your goal is to
• 3:43:45
  score what? Score.
• 3:43:56
  You try to. Have the most.
• 3:44:02
  Points, yeah. And then a a general math term,
• 3:44:08
  if you just if you do a equation, basically addition,
• 3:44:18
  yeah, added, I'll give that to you, added addition.
• 3:44:20
  OK, so. Just say.
• 3:44:22
  Plus sign, yeah. OK, plus.
• 3:44:25
  Sign all right and. Then E so again, something the
• 3:44:30
  previous clue was something that is supposed to happen if you if
• 3:44:34
  you call somebody, you predict something you could have said
• 3:44:37
  like I did this, I blanked. That's a good.
• 3:44:41
  That's a really good clue, Speedy.
• 3:44:44
  All right, Daryl. I don't know.
• 3:44:48
  Charles Dickens had a book about it.
• 3:44:51
  And you think I know what? Charles Dixon.
• 3:44:53
  They were great. I I I know it was the best of
• 3:44:56
  times. It was the worst of times.
• 3:44:59
  I couldn't even pronounce his name.
• 3:45:01
  You want me to remember Charles Dixon?
• 3:45:02
  Pip. No, I don't know my little Pip.
• 3:45:05
  No, no, no. I.
• 3:45:08
  Didn't think you're? Going to get it from that clue.
• 3:45:10
  All right, We got that as a wrong answer.
• 3:45:13
  Your arrow is very close though, Speedy.
• 3:45:15
  You're going to have to get a lot closer than just the
• 3:45:18
  direction of the orifice that's going into.
• 3:45:21
  Are we going to have to? Rename this segment
• 3:45:23
  Analyturitics at this rate. I guess so.
• 3:45:28
  We'll see. All right.
• 3:45:30
  The music's on Arrow. He needs another clue.
• 3:45:33
  All right. Angry so after.
• 3:45:40
  You drop a. Load in this specific place, you
• 3:45:45
  smack that person and it comes out of something.
• 3:45:50
  Oh. Wow.
• 3:45:52
  OK. All right, so you're.
• 3:45:56
  You just basically. Gave him the whole thing.
• 3:45:57
  I know. So you're.
• 3:45:59
  Past. And he?
• 3:45:59
  Said he said where it came out of too.
• 3:46:02
  Yes, he doesn't. I don't think he understands the
• 3:46:04
  term load. Errol, don't say anything.
• 3:46:08
  OK, so maybe it's not talking. Laundry here, yeah, maybe it's.
• 3:46:12
  Not the Maybe it's not the actual air coming out.
• 3:46:15
  Maybe it's the gross crap coming out.
• 3:46:18
  Hey. Now so.
• 3:46:20
  Then hey now it goes into a woman's mouth and then a
• 3:46:27
  slapping motion where? Did that come?
• 3:46:30
  From think about. What a dragon does and where
• 3:46:34
  where it comes out of. So it.
• 3:46:36
  Flies. It attacks and it breathes fire
• 3:46:40
  and it breathes fire. OK.
• 3:46:42
  Well, now we're cooking. So then.
• 3:46:44
  The the gross bodily pus, whatever's coming out is being
• 3:46:57
  smacked is what's throwing me. Like, I guess it's being like
• 3:47:04
  thwarted down. Errol.
• 3:47:07
  What do you talk? About ESPN, would love this bit.
• 3:47:09
  What are you? Talking.
• 3:47:10
  About. It's like AI don't like a
• 3:47:13
  launching motion like I feel like a dragon coming down while.
• 3:47:19
  Playing it like launching all right speedy, we're going to
• 3:47:21
  need you to tie it up a little bit we got we got to move so
• 3:47:24
  the. The gross crap, the load,
• 3:47:27
  whatever. After it goes into the woman's
• 3:47:30
  mouth, then the guy, then the guy comes down on her and smacks
• 3:47:41
  her. I don't know.
• 3:47:41
  I don't know where the smack, the smacking is, what's throwing
• 3:47:44
  me. Well, Akon said smack that all
• 3:47:48
  on the floor. But for now, the answer is
• 3:47:51
  wrong. We will move on to.
• 3:47:55
  The last. Round of clues.
• 3:47:57
  Errol is almost there. Speedy final clue for Pepa.
• 3:48:01
  Yeah, so. Again, something that if you
• 3:48:03
  predict it happens and you could say like I blanked it to happen
• 3:48:11
  what Fish was describing before. So A-Team could have very high
• 3:48:15
  or low, like it's another term for potential.
• 3:48:19
  Like somebody, somebody like, like in football, the Eagles
• 3:48:23
  winning the Super Bowl are going to have big.
• 3:48:26
  And it's another. Term like fish was describing
• 3:48:29
  before that starts with E. Big.
• 3:48:35
  When a. Woman is pregnant.
• 3:48:36
  She is. Exposed.
• 3:48:46
  Not the weird shit you watch. I'm talking about like a regular
• 3:48:50
  thing. And by the way, I did get a, we
• 3:48:52
  did get a comment earlier tonight from that I think we
• 3:48:56
  need to put up there. We got you proven wrong right
• 3:48:59
  off the bat. Sometimes they do the farts,
• 3:49:02
  they do smell. Yeah, right.
• 3:49:04
  I don't. Know.
• 3:49:05
  She's lying. I don't know.
• 3:49:11
  You can do this. Say it one more, one more
• 3:49:14
  pregnant woman, it said. She is something ING ING.
• 3:49:22
  Expecting. Yeah, here it is.
• 3:49:25
  Put it together. Put it all together, positive,
• 3:49:29
  expecting. What was the other one?
• 3:49:32
  You. Score the most.
• 3:49:34
  Points. And then the map.
• 3:49:37
  Plus sign and the map plus equal positive addition.
• 3:49:41
  Add, add, add. So yeah.
• 3:49:43
  It's positive, expected points added.
• 3:49:47
  There it. Is and that is correct.
• 3:49:52
  Errol Marks. You know what you have to do
• 3:49:54
  now, though, You got to use it correctly in a sentence.
• 3:49:58
  Let's use the the future legend himself, Justin Fields in this
• 3:50:02
  one. I'm sorry, defensive player.
• 3:50:04
  So let's go your favorite. He said he added 15 lbs of
• 3:50:06
  muscle. Will McDonald tell me about his
• 3:50:10
  pepper? Will McDonald last year amongst
• 3:50:15
  rookies, had a farm amongst rookies, he.
• 3:50:19
  Came from Iowa State, so he might have had a farm.
• 3:50:21
  Had one. Of the best positive expecting.
• 3:50:27
  What? Was it points just?
• 3:50:30
  Say. PEPAPP that had one of the best
• 3:50:33
  PP As for all the amongst all the rookies.
• 3:50:38
  So there you go. All right.
• 3:50:40
  I don't know if he was among the best, but that is a good
• 3:50:43
  sentence amongst the best rookie.
• 3:50:46
  I would say that's a pretty strong sentence.
• 3:50:48
  Speedy. You're you're not there yet.
• 3:50:51
  I'd say, you know, like Bon Jovi would say you were halfway
• 3:50:54
  there, but you're also right now living on a prayer.
• 3:50:58
  We. Got to put.
• 3:50:58
  The music back on one last time. Yes, by that.
• 3:51:01
  Reference OK. For the angry dragon.
• 3:51:04
  So when the man, I'm giving you their hint.
• 3:51:09
  Is dropping. The load somewhere.
• 3:51:13
  He. Smacks somewhere on the body and
• 3:51:19
  it comes out somewhere on the face.
• 3:51:24
  OK, like a. Dragon and then she.
• 3:51:29
  Falls down. But gets back up.
• 3:51:32
  And does. Something.
• 3:51:33
  OK, so the gross load crap goes into the woman's mouth, the guy
• 3:51:40
  then slaps her and then the the pus comes out OK.
• 3:51:45
  Of where? Of her mouth.
• 3:51:47
  OK. And.
• 3:51:50
  Then. They both do intimate things on
• 3:51:53
  that gross crap. But but wait a wait a second, I
• 3:51:59
  said. She gets up and she.
• 3:52:02
  She does. Something like a drag drag.
• 3:52:05
  Drags the guy down. Oh.
• 3:52:07
  She breathes it back into him. Where is it?
• 3:52:11
  Where? Does a dragon breathes from?
• 3:52:14
  His mouth no where is. Fire.
• 3:52:19
  Where do you breathe from? Your mouth, you breathe fire
• 3:52:27
  your. Nose Speedy.
• 3:52:30
  You breathe from your nose, right?
• 3:52:35
  There. It's like what I.
• 3:52:36
  Don't know what I don't know what that's called.
• 3:52:38
  Mythology you're reading, you're seeing.
• 3:52:40
  That's that's called. Sex, the fire comes.
• 3:52:42
  Out of the dragon, no Wiener. Bark.
• 3:52:44
  I mean smoke. Does, but they snort.
• 3:52:47
  The fire. Do.
• 3:52:52
  He tastes. Himself, Errol.
• 3:52:55
  Read it off to him. You are the winner tonight, by
• 3:52:57
  the way, Errol Marx of Anal Lidde.
• 3:52:59
  Yes, thank you. Thank you very much.
• 3:53:02
  OK, Speed. You ready, angry dragon?
• 3:53:04
  Immediately after you blow your load, which is the stuff that
• 3:53:10
  comes out of your. You know what?
• 3:53:12
  OK, Yeah, The gross. Crap.
• 3:53:13
  I know. Yes, the gross crap.
• 3:53:16
  In a girl's mouth. Smack them in the back of her
• 3:53:19
  head and make it come out of her nose.
• 3:53:22
  OK. Oh, OK.
• 3:53:24
  All right. And when she gets up, she will
• 3:53:26
  look like an angry dragon. Oh, OK.
• 3:53:31
  Sorry, whatever. You were trying to get to I.
• 3:53:36
  I think I'm a little no the slapping.
• 3:53:38
  Motion. I didn't think that would
• 3:53:39
  actually spawn it out of the nose.
• 3:53:40
  OK, well. There you go.
• 3:53:43
  Thank you to the one and only Jimmy Lawrence for joining us.
