• 4:11
  Well, I've had an interesting interesting year and anybody
• 4:15
  that has not known me or have watched this show over and over
• 4:19
  and over again, repeatedly, as we go in week by week, show by
• 4:24
  Show episode by episode. We know that my show and my
• 4:30
  personality could go in many different directions, many
• 4:34
  different, directions, If it's a comedy show, you want to hear
• 4:38
  this, is the one you want to hear, if it's a Sports Talk,
• 4:41
  Show you want to listen to, this is what you want to listen to.
• 4:46
  But over the last couple of months, And I will say this to
• 4:50
  be very fond of this industry. And what I love about this
• 4:55
  industry is there's many sports to talk about and being that
• 4:59
  we're here in New York, Sports is life for all the fans out
• 5:03
  there. Even though our sports teams are
• 5:05
  absolutely horrible and mean, if you look at where are football,
• 5:10
  teams are at you. Got a chance to watch one team.
• 5:12
  Pull off a win yesterday against the Vegas.
• 5:15
  Raider team didn't want to play. They really should have just
• 5:19
  stayed on the bus. There was no reason for the
• 5:22
  Raiders to play in that game. And then we had a chance to
• 5:26
  watch the New York Jets which was an absolute debacle a
• 5:30
  divisional game. And you don't show up, you don't
• 5:34
  show up against a New England Patriot team for years have been
• 5:37
  daggering it right in your back. And you just absolutely laid up
• 5:43
  a lousy click. And I I watched New York Sports
• 5:47
  because I mean, I'm here in New York and and I root for our
• 5:51
  teams. And there's just nothing to me
• 5:54
  moving forward in 2026, besides the New York Knicks.
• 5:59
  That makes me excited. Now hopefully it'll change in
• 6:03
  the offseason with football. It could change with a blink of
• 6:06
  an eye. We've seen it, you could go from
• 6:08
  one of the worst teams. So one of the best teams with a
• 6:10
  blank, In hockey. We have seen.
• 6:16
  The absolute. Difference in a team when they
• 6:21
  make. or they get a draft pick, like, Matthew Shaffer with the
• 6:26
  New York Islanders in and have seen the twists and turns over
• 6:30
  the last couple of years, a fulling out John Tavares
• 6:34
  deciding to part ways with the Islanders, go to Toronto, just
• 6:37
  absolutely stink. I mean, look at Toronto right
• 6:40
  now, they're in last place in their in their different, in
• 6:44
  their division. You wonder.
• 6:48
  That maybe could be The Islander here maybe with Patrick wall and
• 6:52
  the Islanders, they make this unbelievable run.
• 6:54
  Now that Lou Piniella, I mean, Lou Piniella Lou Piniella
• 6:58
  because I was riding a story over the weekend.
• 6:59
  It's not Lou sleeping. Lou is no longer with the New
• 7:02
  York Islanders. I just when you when you when
• 7:06
  you look at Sports and and as a New York fan, you only hope and
• 7:12
  you wonder, when these teams are going to, Change and get better.
• 7:19
  And that's what I do every single year.
• 7:21
  It doesn't matter if it's Tommy rooting for his Giants, or his
• 7:24
  Nicks, or whoever he roots for Yankees, or Speedy, rooting for
• 7:28
  his Mets, his Giants. And his Rangers or even our man
• 7:34
  in the back end, who was just speaking.
• 7:37
  On her opening. Mister Aaron Fishman, who is out
• 7:42
  there? Always preaching Giants football
• 7:44
  Giants football. Let's go Giants.
• 7:50
  But the Giants. And where they're heading could
• 7:55
  be in a better position than the New York Jets.
• 7:57
  And there's a lot of reasons why and I will get into that a
• 7:59
  little bit later in the show. Not because of the talent.
• 8:02
  It's just because the Giants have won Super Bowls in the last
• 8:08
  50 years. at least we can go back in 2011 when Eli Manning
• 8:14
  was there and Mario Manningham and and those Idiots.
• 8:23
  I'm not making fun of Justin Tuck.
• 8:25
  I love. Justin talk, he was nothing but
• 8:27
  nice to me over the years. When I've interviewed him and
• 8:30
  every time I see him, he remembers me.
• 8:32
  So I I'm not gonna put down Justin talk or OC you mean your
• 8:37
  butt. I just think that the Giants
• 8:40
  have an understanding what it takes to win to Jets.
• 8:44
  I can't remember the last time, they know what to do when it
• 8:47
  comes to winning. And that's New York Sports,
• 8:49
  guys. We sit here, we prop, we make
• 8:53
  jokes. We do all this stuff that we do
• 8:55
  all the time about New York Sports and it really just goes
• 8:59
  around in a circle like Adam Sandler and Chuck and Larry
• 9:03
  which I bring up that movie all the time on this show, it's a
• 9:06
  circle, it's a circle because it's a circle that never ends.
• 9:10
  It never ends ladies and gentlemen, and hopefully one day
• 9:13
  all our New York teams will find an understanding on what it
• 9:18
  takes to win. I don't know if it's gonna
• 9:20
  happen anytime soon, but you just wonder if all these
• 9:24
  organizations and all these teams and all these owners with
• 9:27
  all the money, they invest, including house, Steinbrenner
• 9:30
  who comes out and says money. Really annoys the hell out of
• 9:36
  me, but there is no way in hell. I want to hear a Steinberg, a
• 9:41
  complain about the league and what the league needs to do,
• 9:44
  when it comes to money because the Yankees forever have spent
• 9:48
  billions and billions of dollars on players.
• 9:51
  Maybe it was his father and George.
• 9:54
  But nevertheless, I don't want to hear the cry, baby Antics.
• 9:57
  I have a hat rack. That holds 500 Hats and 90% of
• 10:03
  them are Yankee hats. Tell me, ladies and gentlemen,
• 10:07
  where does all that money go? It doesn't go to me.
• 10:10
  It goes to those teams and and those companies that are
• 10:14
  obviously sponsoring or using the Yankees as advertisements
• 10:18
  and making tons and tons of money.
• 10:20
  So you're funding Jazz, Chisholm is extension.
• 10:22
  That's exactly what I'm doing. That's exactly what I'm doing.
• 10:25
  Ladies and gentlemen, funding these organizations to lose.
• 10:30
  And that's tonight is what we're getting into 2026.
• 10:36
  Is it going to be a losing year? For New York fans or a winning
• 10:40
  year for New York fans. I'm pushing towards losing but
• 10:44
  hey you know what? We can Hope that it could change
• 10:49
  with a blink of an eye. I I just hope and that's why
• 10:52
  that's what I wanted to get into it.
• 10:54
  In the beginning, I want to give a shout out to my man Ralph over
• 10:57

  great show lined up for you guys.
• 14:12
  So tune in Listen, and if you're a football fan, you're gonna
• 14:16
  love these segments. It will come down to a winner.
• 14:19
  Takes all showdown between the Ravens and the Steelers.
• 14:24
  In Prime Time Fashions, Sunday night for the final playoff
• 14:29
  spot. And the AFC North Division,
• 14:32
  Crown, the Ravens blew out the Packers without Jordan love 41,
• 14:37
  to 24, led by 200 and 16 rushing yards and four touchdowns from
• 14:44
  the one and only Derrick Henry. The Packers have already
• 14:48
  clinched a playoff spot before the game started after lie.
• 14:52
  The Lions fell on Saturday, to the Vikings, the Packers lose
• 14:57
  and clinched. The NFC North for the Bears.
• 15:01
  The Ravens season stays alive because shoulder Sanders and the
• 15:05
  Browns upset, the Steelers 13 to 6 without DK Metcalf who was
• 15:10
  suspended by the league for striking.
• 15:14
  A fan for two games, the Steelers and quarterback Aaron,
• 15:18
  Rodgers could do nothing against the Browns, defense, all day
• 15:22
  that calf will also miss the big match up with the Baltimore with
• 15:27
  the Baltimore Ravens. Next week, both NFC South
• 15:32
  contenders lost this week with the bucket nears, losing to the
• 15:36
  Dolphins, 20 to 17 and the Panthers failing Ally to the
• 15:41
  Seahawks 27, to 10, this sets up another win.
• 15:46
  And you're in scenario for the NFC South title.
• 15:51
  If the Bucs win, they will be the first team to win their
• 15:56
  division with a losing record, eight, nine since they did it
• 16:01
  with an eight and nine record in 2022.
• 16:04
  The Panthers defense was able to hold Seattle and check in the
• 16:09
  first half, but Bryce young was only able to go 14 for 24 for 50
• 16:16
  for yards and an interception in the laws as Seattle pulled away
• 16:22
  in the second half, the Bucks are lucky to have this shot
• 16:26
  after they fell to quit. You were LED dolphins and could
• 16:31
  only get 54 total, rushing yards as a whole team.
• 16:37
  There's a lot to get into and I love the Pittsburgh and Ravens
• 16:43
  the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ravens scenario and there's A
• 16:46
  lot of reasons why is because you look forward to games like
• 16:49
  this. You because these are divisional
• 16:51
  games, the Ravens can't stand the Pittsburgh Steelers, the
• 16:55
  Steelers can't stand, the Baltimore Ravens you want to see
• 16:59
  Lamar Jackson in the playoffs but you also want to see Aaron
• 17:03
  Rodgers in the playoffs. This could be Aaron Rodgers last
• 17:05
  hurray. And Lamar Jackson with all the
• 17:08
  ups and downs all season long, the injuries.
• 17:12
  This could be the run that he couldn't or should be waiting
• 17:16
  for. This is this is something that
• 17:19
  we've seen before. Team sneak into the playoffs and
• 17:21
  go all the way. I know Aaron Rodgers remembers
• 17:24
  that I remember in 2010, we bring it up all the time.
• 17:27
  A wildcard team, went from one of the worst teams in the
• 17:32
  beginning of the seasons, to one of the best teams finish strong.
• 17:35
  Went into the playoffs, made their run and Aaron Rodgers won
• 17:38
  his only Super Bowl in 2010. You got to get hot.
• 17:43
  And the Ravens with all their wives, their defense and all the
• 17:47
  ups and downs of the way their defense was this year.
• 17:50
  And and the Ravens are known for their defense, come on.
• 17:53
  If you think about it, the Ed Reads of the world, the songs of
• 17:57
  the world, All the line backers and we could go through every
• 18:01
  single one of them. One who to me is an all-time
• 18:04
  great. They've always been in Elite
• 18:08
  defense. And this year, they were it.
• 18:12
  And it would be fitting to see the Ravens get into the playoffs
• 18:15
  and make a run all the way to a Super Bowl and win a Super Bowl,
• 18:18
  Lamar Jackson's. First Super Bowl, and then Lamar
• 18:21
  could be considered one of the best quarterbacks of this era.
• 18:25
  Aaron Rodgers. Has a lot to prove. because if
• 18:30
  you want to be considered, With those, Peyton Manning's.
• 18:35
  And the Tom Bradys. You have to win your number two.
• 18:39
  You have to win your second Super Bowl.
• 18:41
  Peyton Manning did it. Did Peyton Manning do it by
• 18:45
  himself know his defense was Elite.
• 18:48
  Pittsburgh. everything, what we've seen with high Smith and
• 18:52
  his defense, and we're gonna see what come back if they make the
• 18:56
  playoffs, I expect what to play in the playoffs, when watts in
• 19:01
  this is an elite defense, And that's what you I say this all
• 19:06
  the time. Winning championships.
• 19:08
  She need to go running game and you need an elite defense.
• 19:11
  Now the Ravens they don't have a little defense but they have an
• 19:15
  old world type of quarterback that could change every single
• 19:19
  game. With his legs, he's Unstoppable.
• 19:22
  If Lamar Jackson is healthy all season long, I, I believe the
• 19:27
  Ravens are one of the top three teams in the FC.
• 19:29
  Wanted a top five teams in all of the NFL.
• 19:32
  But he's not. And there's some.
• 19:35
  Rumblings that John Harbaugh might be out if they get knocked
• 19:39
  out. He decides to step away,
• 19:40
  whatever the Ravens decide to do or decide, not to do what, John
• 19:46
  Harbaugh all rests maybe in this game.
• 19:50
  And that to me stands out more than anything.
• 19:54
  Because when we think of division championships, we think
• 19:58
  of Pittsburgh and the Ravens. we think of Kansas City and the
• 20:04
  Chargers. We think about the Eagles or the
• 20:09
  Giants, or the Eagles, or the Cowboys.
• 20:13
  That's what we think about. And that's to me.
• 20:16
  And even this year, we saw Seattle on the Rams go back and
• 20:19
  forth. Those games were sensational.
• 20:22
  You want to see games like that, you want to see games that can
• 20:25
  come down to the wire? And this is right there.
• 20:30
  We gay teen. Sunday Night Football.
• 20:35
  Aaron Rodgers Lamar Jackson, one of the greats against Maybe soon
• 20:41
  to be. The greatest quarterback of this
• 20:44
  era. I wrote a story this week at
• 20:47
  about the 2018, draft classes, draft class of quarterbacks.
• 20:52
  I don't know if anybody remembers it remembers it but I
• 20:55
  could tell you Baker Mayfield, what number one to the prompts.
• 20:58
  Baker Mayfield is now playing for the Buccaneers before that.
• 21:01
  He jumped from three other teams before he landed with the
• 21:06
  Buccaneers. Do we remember the second guy
• 21:10
  that was picked in that draft? I do.
• 21:11
  I'm gonna give it to you number three, Sam.
• 21:14
  Donald to the youngest quarterback in NFL history.
• 21:18
  He jumped around after leaving the Jets.
• 21:21
  He went from, I think two teams or three teams before he jumped
• 21:24
  and he's now in Seattle, 13 and 3.
• 21:27
  Seattle Seahawks And guess what? He's become an elite
• 21:33
  quarterback. It took him a while.
• 21:35
  Youngest quarterback in the league.
• 21:36
  Still fairly young has a chance to Become the quarterback that
• 21:42
  everybody thought he was going to become coming out of USC.
• 21:46
  Number seven, went to the Buffalo Bills.
• 21:49
  Josh Allen. Now Josh Allen, we know what
• 21:53
  he's been and we know what he's turned into.
• 21:55
  Josh Allen had a weird release when he came out of Wyoming.
• 21:59
  There was a question about Josh Allen and and could he last in
• 22:03
  the NFL the way he plays the game?
• 22:06
  He's become as Elite as any quarterback in the NFL.
• 22:11
  And why maybe it was because of coaching, maybe was daybell,
• 22:14
  maybe the fact that he changed his release or maybe just his
• 22:17
  understanding of the Love of the Game.
• 22:21
  There are a lot of people pressing on Josh Allen his whole
• 22:24
  career and and why they thought he wasn't going to last.
• 22:26
  I mean, I've Ramsey and the G2 magazine attacked this man and
• 22:31
  didn't even know him. At number 10, it was the Arizona
• 22:36
  Cardinals. And the one guy that just got
• 22:39
  away or thank God got away. And that's Josh Rosen.
• 22:42
  It was my favorite at the time and Tyler Harrison's.
• 22:45
  Favorite at the time we were both badly.
• 22:46
  Wrong 10-ish, tennis champion, and maybe he should just stay in
• 22:51
  play. Pick up tennis because he was
• 22:53
  horrible. He jumped ship to many different
• 22:55
  organization even when out there and spoke about the the teams
• 23:00
  that passed up on and said, they're going to regret it.
• 23:02
  I don't think they're regretting it anymore.
• 23:05
  And then the final pick of the draft, the last pick.
• 23:10
  In Mr. Newsome, Ozzie Newsome. You know.
• 23:15
  Pocketbook or pockets. Was Lamar Jackson. and I believe
• 23:20
  Lamar Jackson has been the best quarterback out of all these
• 23:23
  quarterbacks in any of these classes that we have mentioned
• 23:27
  over the last, I would say 15 years not because he has become
• 23:34
  an elite runner in this league, not because he's become a
• 23:37
  thrower in this league. just because the guy plays at such a
• 23:43
  high speed, So dominant, when he is at the top of his game,
• 23:47
  almost impossible to stop. You can talk about Joe burrow
• 23:51
  and his Elite way of watching the field and scope scooping and
• 23:55
  plopping of the ball into different spots to jamaar Chase
• 23:59
  and and Higgins. It to me.
• 24:03
  What makes Lamar Jackson? So unique is he doesn't have any
• 24:07
  Elite wide receiver. I mean, flat is flowers, in
• 24:10
  Elite wide receiver. Andrews was an elite tight end
• 24:14
  but he couldn't stay healthy. Lamar Jackson has never had an
• 24:19
  elite wide receiver to throw to and his whole career.
• 24:21
  Could you imagine if you had to March Ace, Or Higgins.
• 24:26
  How about TK Metcalf? He doesn't have any of those
• 24:30
  guys. He doesn't Elite running back
• 24:32
  and Derek Henry. Finally.
• 24:36
  But that just tells you and I I believe when you look at
• 24:40
  quarterbacks not why I look at Tom.
• 24:42
  Brady also have another article out there, Tom Brady and Joe
• 24:45
  Montana, I believe Joe Montana. It's just a tad better than Tom
• 24:50
  Brady, but if you look at Tom Brady's, career, your argument
• 24:52
  is he's had different running backs.
• 24:55
  He's never had the same running back.
• 24:57
  He's never had the same offensive line.
• 25:00
  More than three years. The only thing that he's had the
• 25:03
  same. Practically his whole career is
• 25:06
  this coach before he went to the Buccaneers. so, to me, Elite
• 25:12
  quarterbacks could play with anything around them, you don't
• 25:15
  need a superstar, you don't need an elite player and that goes to
• 25:18
  what I'm saying about Aaron Rodgers.
• 25:22
  Aaron Rodgers. Meet everybody around him
• 25:25
  better. Everybody.
• 25:28
  And that's where this is coming. This is going.
• 25:30
  We're going into a game where this could be the Crown King.
• 25:34
  A lot of people believe is the greatest quarterback I do.
• 25:38
  In a 10 year or 10 see you know 10 seasons comparable to the Tom
• 25:45
  Bradys and Peyton Manning's and Drew Brees's.
• 25:47
  I believe Aaron Rodgers has been the best not with the greatest
• 25:52
  Talent. Not with Superstar players.
• 25:54
  He's made everybody around him because he's special Lamar
• 25:57
  Jackson to That's what I think about this game.
• 26:01
  This could be the end of Aaron Rodgers career, moving on to
• 26:05
  bigger and better things to Brittany.
• 26:07
  His so-called why or is so cold hand?
• 26:09
  Whoever he's married. See it I see him wearing his
• 26:13
  ring every time he plays it's a it's a black ring so I guess
• 26:16
  he's married unless he's fibbing but that's the game that's I'm
• 26:20
  looking forward to the Buccaneers.
• 26:21
  And and the Carolina Panthers. Nothing sticks out to me in this
• 26:27
  game except this is the Buccaneers game to win.
• 26:32
  Caroline is still building, Caroline is still figuring
• 26:34
  things out. Canal is still figuring things
• 26:38
  out as a head coach. I think he's gonna be a great
• 26:40
  one. He's got a Young quarterback
• 26:42
  that I don't think is ever going to be elite.
• 26:44
  You can win with them but he's never gonna be a lead.
• 26:47
  He found out He's got a star wide receiver, he's got weapons.
• 26:52
  Now he can build around those weapons, he's defense still
• 26:55
  needs a little bit of cleaning. but this Carolina team is going
• 27:01
  to be good for many, many years to come there, young and
• 27:03
  up-and-coming. But this is the bucket.
• 27:06
  Here's your because if they don't make the playoffs Todd
• 27:09
  Bowles is God, he is God. Swim to the fishies, swim to the
• 27:14
  Sharks because that balls is gone.
• 27:17
  Sayonara. This is their Year Mike Evans,
• 27:21
  did not look happy this past weekend.
• 27:23
  I didn't look happy because it was on my fantasy team.
• 27:25
  And thank God I didn't need Mike Evans, but because of what
• 27:28
  property did on Sunday night which was absolutely ridiculous.
• 27:33
  I mean, I got a lot to say by the way.
• 27:36
  Owen and me went back and forth yesterday.
• 27:38
  It was oh I heard that phone call.
• 27:40
  That was quite interesting. It was fun, definitely funny and
• 27:43
  I love you. But the game that really sticks
• 27:46
  out to me is is obviously the Pittsburgh Steelers and the
• 27:50
  Ravens but this could go down to the wire and really the Carolina
• 27:53
  Panthers and the last three or four weeks there, be their
• 27:56
  defense has been one of the best defenses and all the football.
• 27:59
  And if they show up to this game in the Bucking years, do not
• 28:02
  show up and they don't have what I know, Baker Mayfield didn't
• 28:05
  have worth. I know the offensive line is not
• 28:07
  protecting him, there's no excuses anymore.
• 28:10
  Baker was an to me an MVP candidate for the first eight or
• 28:14
  nine weeks and then falling off. And I don't want to hear about
• 28:17
  injuries. There's no reason why this team.
• 28:22
  It's really crawling into a playoff run now.
• 28:25
  Hey, the Buccaneers can get into the playoffs and, and make
• 28:28
  noise. I'm gonna tell you right now and
• 28:31
  we'll get into it in just a few moments.
• 28:32
  The eagles look damn good. I I don't, I told you guys about
• 28:37
  the Eagles when they figure things out, watch out for them
• 28:40
  and you're, you're watching it right now.
• 28:43
  But the Dolphins, give a shout out to Mike McDaniel, guys.
• 28:47
  Mike McDaniel was practically done.
• 28:50
  Everybody was throwing them out. Gone, Mighty Mouse was gone.
• 28:56
  Gone to the bleachers say say goodbye and then all of a
• 29:00
  sudden, they make a couple of Trades, they trade, fill ups,
• 29:02
  they move players. Tyree killed goes down.
• 29:07
  And they think you're things out.
• 29:08
  Two was two, was actually sitting and riding the bench.
• 29:11
  They bringing Quinn ewers He was what a six round draft pick.
• 29:16
  This guy. At one point was the first round
• 29:19
  Talent Bulls out, and they're fighting ways to win with these
• 29:23
  guys. It's pretty amazing.
• 29:26
  I have been very impressed with the out of all the teams that
• 29:30
  have fallen back and forth and a lot of people giving up on him.
• 29:33
  The Miami Dolphins. Have been the most impressive
• 29:35
  impressive team and the most impressive team making it to the
• 29:39
  playoffs right now is to see Seattle Seahawks, which I think
• 29:42
  could be unstoppable. If magic book plays at a top
• 29:45
  game out of the top of his game, like, he's been doing all season
• 29:48
  long. And obviously the playoffs here.
• 29:51
  You're playing against better defenses.
• 29:52
  And better teams better coaching.
• 29:53
  No question. Seattle could absolutely go to
• 29:57
  the Super Bowl and win the Super Bowl this year.
• 29:59
  No question, they can't. They have the running game.
• 30:02
  Sharpen a has been unbelievable. Walker's, been great.
• 30:05
  They can do so many things, so very well and they got a
• 30:09
  quarterback and I just mentioned him, Sam darnold.
• 30:11
  So I look at all these games I gave you my take on it speedy I
• 30:15
  want to hear you. Yeah, I want to sit mention it
• 30:17
  from this standpoint, from the Panthers and bucks to start
• 30:19
  because you were talking about the like, the losing record
• 30:21
  standpoint. Sometimes, you see those teams
• 30:23
  still do. I don't care about that.
• 30:24
  I never even mentioned in the playoffs.
• 30:25
  New mentioned in the read off, like that losing record.
• 30:28
  And I think you still get the talent of those teams for a
• 30:31
  bucking years team that when healthy is still a lot better
• 30:34
  than they are record wise and a Panthers team that has nothing
• 30:36
  to lose. Because this is a team that does
• 30:38
  not have a lot of big contracts on the team.
• 30:40
  They had a really good rookie class, that's really helped
• 30:42
  their offense play as well as they have and their defense play
• 30:45
  a lot better than expected. They're supposed to be one of
• 30:46
  the probably bottom, 10 defenses in the league.
• 30:48
  They have been amazing, but I had a schedule and pressure to
• 30:52
  come with Canales on with Bryce, young Bryce, young trying to
• 30:55
  make a statement here three, which you're right.
• 30:56
  He's been very underwear for a first round pick, but first
• 30:59
  overall pick, but he still had some really good games this year
• 31:02
  and he's a great comeback quarterback, which is
• 31:04
  interesting. Then he shift to the bucket near
• 31:05
  side where Todd Bowles. Is there a sense of desperation
• 31:08
  for his job at this point? If they miss the playoffs or
• 31:10
  even if they may get in, just still go out in the first round.
• 31:13
  Does he get injury pass? From somebody like Jason light.
• 31:16
  Jason likes been a very good GM and the Buccaneers obviously
• 31:19
  want a Super Bowl with Tom Brady, but since then they've
• 31:21
  only won two playoff games to beat the Eagles.
• 31:23
  When the Eagles fell apart two years ago and they beat really
• 31:26
  bad and they beat a really bad Eagles team.
• 31:29
  I think it was the year before that when they were seven seed
• 31:31
  like those are the only two playoff wins they've won since
• 31:33
  then. So could there be pressure on
• 31:35
  getting a high? I guess.
• 31:37
  Potential coach type thing whether it's one of these big
• 31:39
  name, offensive coordinators like a Kubiak in Seattle or
• 31:42
  whether it's somebody like you've mentioned a veteran coach
• 31:43
  like Mike McCarthy or something like that.
• 31:45
  They could be available. Then on the Steelers rating
• 31:48
  standpoint, it's the opposite where both these coaches are two
• 31:52
  of the longest tenured. They're too longest tenured
• 31:54
  coaches in the NFL with their respective teams.
• 31:57
  How much is the clock taking for them?
• 31:58
  I know we were joking about it with after the senior boy, with
• 32:02
  your phone call with, oh, and he was like, oh, John Harbaugh
• 32:04
  doesn't want to see ball and forever and all that.
• 32:05
  Yeah, but he won one. And there's been a kind of how
• 32:10
  many Kyle would he doesn't want any yet.
• 32:11
  He hasn't won any yet, and I don't think he's gonna win any.
• 32:15
  With the San Francisco 49. Kyle Shanahan is basically
• 32:18
  Eagles. Andy Reid with a little more
• 32:19
  Talent at this point. Do not dis Andy Reid Eagles and
• 32:24
  not overall. I, I still, I would not do this.
• 32:26
  Andy Reid, Andy Reid has won multiple Super Bowls.
• 32:30
  I know it was with Patrick Mahomes, but even with the
• 32:32
  Eagles, the Eagles still were, and I'm not saying that thing
• 32:36
  the San Francisco 49ers are not a competent organization.
• 32:39
  They are, they're a regular season team, but in the
• 32:41
  playoffs, they're a bombshell, they fell.
• 32:44
  And I don't want to hear it. There's no complaining anymore,
• 32:46
  you have Christian McCaffrey and then in the second half of the
• 32:51
  game, you stop running the ball in a Super Bowl I and you are up
• 32:54
  10 to 7. I think it, I think the score
• 32:57
  right now. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense,
• 32:59
  how you have a great running game and then all thematically
• 33:02
  in the fourth quarter you say no I'm gonna stop running the ball
• 33:05
  makes no sense. Why am I running the ball?
• 33:07
  I just let the league in all in offensive, touchdowns with a
• 33:10
  running back or guards Barbara by running back, it makes no
• 33:14
  sense. But It's typical Kyle Shanahan.
• 33:17
  I want to reference the other coaches though too, with Tomlin.
• 33:19
  And with Harbaugh too, it just seems like it.
• 33:21
  Usually there's something missing.
• 33:22
  And again, Harbaugh, I think is still a good coach.
• 33:24
  I think he'll still get hired anywhere else I was but I he's
• 33:26
  not going anywhere. That's what I'm reading.
• 33:28
  Yeah, it's funny because when I posted your article last week
• 33:31
  about Michigan and Sharon Moore, what are the people in the
• 33:33
  Reddit comment section which I'll go to be funny if John
• 33:36
  Harbaugh but she misses you but that's not gonna happen.
• 33:39
  But again, you look at Tomlin too.
• 33:41
  Like the clock is ticking, we talked about all the time, he
• 33:42
  hasn't won a playoff game and who knows how long the last
• 33:45
  playoff game, he won was against a Miami Dolphins, 60 with Adam
• 33:48
  gase and Matt Moore as they're starting quarterback.
• 33:50
  Put that in perspective and then John Harbaugh he says I'm
• 33:53
  certainly some under playoffs as well and even recently last the
• 33:56
  last couple years they be a text in Steam that was very
• 33:58
  inexperience and again a Titans team that was kind of up and
• 34:01
  down so it's not like they really have a lot of quality
• 34:03
  wins either and this is the Steelers forgot about it.
• 34:05
  Aaron Rodgers is interesting though because does he does he
• 34:09
  feel like this is the last reputation.
• 34:10
  I think he liked by the Steelers and he's like by the Steelers
• 34:12
  players. And I was better than the quart.
• 34:15
  That they've had. And then the other thing is, He
• 34:18
  Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett. Yeah, I'm just Mason Rudolph
• 34:21
  when he came in for Aaron Rodgers, when he was injured, he
• 34:24
  played pretty well. He actually looked better than
• 34:25
  Aaron Rodgers did so to say that he's better than Mason Road.
• 34:29
  Again, I would say this about the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike
• 34:32
  Tomlin you mentioned Tomlin and John harpole, both guys might
• 34:36
  not have a job at the end of the year, both guys, who I believe
• 34:39
  we're the elite of Elites. When you look at AFC and
• 34:43
  coaching you would say, besides Andy Reid, John Harbaugh and
• 34:48
  Mike Tomlin are amongst the best in the ESC.
• 34:50
  Am I wrong or right? Know that, I think they're
• 34:52
  definitely Hall of Famers, no doubt and now both of them might
• 34:54
  be looking for another job. Yeah I get it it's a matter of
• 34:57
  like a reputation thing. Like how long can they go on
• 34:59
  with that kind of thing? Because again they still haven't
• 35:01
  gotten the Pinnacle in this modern era.
• 35:04
  Since it's kind of changed more to a spread offense.
• 35:05
  Take the league in the probably the mid tooth 2010.
• 35:07
  Before before we move on I just want to reference some of the
• 35:10
  comments. Shout out to Evan and shout out
• 35:12
  to Sean Browning in our comment section, Sean was talking about
• 35:14
  six straight NFC championships with the eagles with Donovan
• 35:17
  McNabb and It, the reason the reason I brought that up Evan is
• 35:20
  mainly to compare they made it. They 49ers made a lot of NFC
• 35:24
  championships too. With Kyle, Shanahan years that
• 35:26
  they've fallen short of the Super Bowl and also Kyle
• 35:28
  Shanahan like our old saying similar clock management issues,
• 35:30
  to Andy Reed with the Eagles and he read with the Eagles, there's
• 35:33
  a lot of double-digit blown leads in the playoffs too.
• 35:35
  And even with the Chiefs, when he first started, they did that
• 35:36
  28-point lead. They blew to the Colts or
• 35:39
  whatever it was and that first year in the playoffs.
• 35:40
  So that's why I bring that up and then Evan in the comments
• 35:43
  even Seahawks defense against a good, pretty good this year and
• 35:46
  he read never blew it in the Super Bowl in the second half of
• 35:49
  the game. That's okay.
• 35:50
  I know we played the Patriots but let's be honest that's Tom
• 35:53
  Brady and he didn't blow that game.
• 35:54
  That game really came down to the end and and who wanted it
• 35:59
  more and and to Rollo ones was playing with a broken leg in
• 36:01
  that game and he still found a way to get almost 100 yards in
• 36:04
  the game and a touchdown. Yeah, it was pretty impressive.
• 36:06
  Shanahan's not gonna live it down.
• 36:08
  Arrow until he wins the big one hundreds, right?
• 36:11
  That's the thing. You know, he's not he's never
• 36:13
  gonna figure it out until the day he does and maybe he'll only
• 36:16
  gets it right one time and that's all it takes to win a
• 36:19
  championship to be good. That one day and not screw up
• 36:21
  the late game mechanics of the game.
• 36:23
  He, you know, what he did with the Falcons thinking that have
• 36:27
  the hubris to keep throwing and not run the ball.
• 36:29
  And that that's situation and eat the clock and just not to
• 36:32
  play smart football and just what are you doing?
• 36:35
  You don't need to score again, you just need to not let them
• 36:37
  score again and it was just really like mind blowing
• 36:41
  arrogance. And I think that's why people
• 36:44
  really turn or turned off by him because of what happened there.
• 36:47
  And then you know, his subsequent failures and the
• 36:49
  Super Bowl but I mean look at what he has though, he's got a
• 36:52
  good roster, he's 12 and 4, he did this with Mac Jones at
• 36:55
  quarterback for about six or seven game.
• 36:56
  Oh that was always boy that he stood by what he already called
• 36:59
  Darrell. Oh, maybe he's better than an
• 37:01
  average backup quarterback, but still a backup quarterback in
• 37:04
  the league, and that is good coaching.
• 37:07
  I Trent Williams hasn't been himself.
• 37:09
  He's hurt now. Still finding ways that's the
• 37:13
  coach CMC. Number one fantasy running back
• 37:16
  this year again. 1000 yards. Receiving thousand yards.
• 37:20
  Rushing. He's this is third time in his
• 37:23
  career. He's unbelievable.
• 37:25
  He just keeps doing it, you know, he looks like he's maybe a
• 37:30
  little bit more worse for wear than when he was younger.
• 37:31
  Maybe doesn't have the same burst still pretty.
• 37:34
  He's not going to a 30 years old.
• 37:35
  He's gonna have to do a lot more with based on shifting.
• 37:38
  So so I just wanted to bring that up before we get into I
• 37:41
  just quickly want to touch on some of these playoff potential
• 37:44
  teams like Rogers has nobody to throw to in that game.
• 37:47
  His number one receiver might be fryer music. at this point, for
• 37:52
  tight ends on the field, They're gonna play a lot of 13
• 37:56
  personality. They just have to like I will
• 37:59
  not, they will not have a single play without too tight ends on
• 38:02
  there unless they're in like third and 20 and they have to go
• 38:05
  in, you'll see a lot of gain. Well, catching the ball, you
• 38:08
  know, you'll see gain well you'll see a couple of like
• 38:10
  they'll probably have Warren in the backfield and gain.
• 38:13
  Well split out in the flank for like the screen on one side at
• 38:16
  times because they don't have anybody.
• 38:17
  They got like You're gonna see when we just save your tears
• 38:21
  later. They're in it.
• 38:22
  There's, you can't believe who the receivers are on that team,
• 38:25
  like Adam feeling's, their leading receiver right now.
• 38:27
  There's nothing like Arthur Smith loves more than having to
• 38:31
  put random guys. All the fields.
• 38:33
  I mean feeling was gonna retire. He got cut.
• 38:35
  He got he asked to be released and just wanted to pick up
• 38:38
  somewhere so he could keep playing football a couple more
• 38:41
  weeks in his career. And here he is.
• 38:43
  Biggest game of the year for the squad and he's their number one
• 38:47
  option. I mean, just think about how bad
• 38:50
  of a spot that is for Aaron Rodgers.
• 38:51
  I'm surprised they don't call up his boy Alan, Lazar to get some,
• 38:54
  get his, get the pads on for this guy.
• 38:56
  I don't want to see, he's not doing anything I, you know, and
• 38:59
  then you'll go back in and we can make jokes about, obviously,
• 39:02
  where the Pittsburgh Steelers are sitting as far as their
• 39:05
  talent is concerned, but Mike Tomlin finds a way to win these
• 39:08
  regular season games. He played he's great though, but
• 39:10
  that's the point Arrow, he's great, their GM.
• 39:13
  This guy Khan. Yeah, not great.
• 39:15
  No, that's the problem there with Pittsburgh.
• 39:17
  They don't have a good roster, their GM's not good and I think
• 39:21
  they are realizing it. Maybe a little little late, he's
• 39:23
  with them for a long time in that organization.
• 39:25
  Sometimes the wrong guys get promoted and I think this might
• 39:29
  be what we're seeing here, they don't have a good roster.
• 39:30
  Those Ravens on the other hand, do a pretty good Roster, maybe
• 39:33
  not the receiver position, but Lamar Jackson got hurt, you
• 39:36
  know, if Lamar Jackson's not playing well and he can't move
• 39:39
  around and do some of the things that he can do that.
• 39:41
  The teams just not built to be successful without them.
• 39:44
  The only way that they can win without him is to Derek Henry to
• 39:48
  run 36 times, right? And have 216 yards and four
• 39:52
  touchdowns like he did list yesterday.
• 39:54
  It's the only way. But you know what teams are
• 39:56
  going to do, in the playoffs, eight, nine, guys, in the Box,
• 39:58
  single play, they're gonna collect the air unit, dare you
• 40:00
  to do it. And that's exactly what Tom
• 40:02
  One's Gonna Do. He knows that that's their fatal
• 40:04
  flaw and if they can contain Jackson and just turn them into
• 40:07
  a pocket passer, he's not healthy.
• 40:08
  He's not accurate. I still like their chances to
• 40:11
  beat the Ravens even though they have no one to throw to.
• 40:14
  And a 41 year old quarterback, that's how crazy that game is on
• 40:19
  the other side. You're right.
• 40:20
  It's kind of like to not very good teams, the Bucks just can't
• 40:24
  run the football. I don't really understand why
• 40:26
  they can't run the football, Bucky or Irving's back.
• 40:28
  They can't run the football. So they just have Baker,
• 40:31
  chucking it. The teams know that they're
• 40:33
  pinning, their ears back. If the Panthers had more of a
• 40:35
  pass rush, this game wouldn't be closed.
• 40:37
  They just they just have young guys, they're defenses.
• 40:39
  Okay, they're getting there. They're just, you know, they're
• 40:42
  year behind, you know, I had to schedule things.
• 40:44
  We do remember that the Carolina Panthers did beat the Buccaneers
• 40:47
  a couple of weeks ago. So a couple weeks ago yeah they
• 40:50
  know how to beat this Buccaneers team and the Buccaneers have an
• 40:54
  offensive line that is shell of themselves.
• 40:55
  What they were in the beginning of the Season worth is not
• 40:58
  healthy. They don't have enough depth on
• 41:01
  the offensive side of the ball and with Mike Evans yesterday,
• 41:05
  you could see how frustrated he was.
• 41:07
  He was frustrated the whole game.
• 41:08
  The way Miami was playing up on him, playing hard on him and and
• 41:12
  really playing rough at the line of scrimmage on him.
• 41:15
  And it was a completely different game.
• 41:16
  Mike Evans is a big tall, strong guy, and really until the end of
• 41:21
  the game, he really had what, three, four catches.
• 41:24
  He was horrible yesterday. And even at the end of the game,
• 41:26
  when they were interviewing him and he said, like, what are you
• 41:29
  think? Your chances are at the end?
• 41:30
  Go at the end of the season and in week 18, he says, I don't
• 41:33
  know if I can't get the ball, it can't get me the ball.
• 41:35
  I don't expect us to win. So I, I mean, honestly, it just
• 41:40
  shows you what, it's a tale of two tapes.
• 41:43
  You have a Carolina Panther team that has nothing to lose.
• 41:45
  They're going to weak. 18 where they believe they shouldn't be
• 41:49
  and have a chance to get into the playoffs there.
• 41:52
  I believe a year, I think they're you're in position.
• 41:55
  Then they should be. I thought next year was going to
• 41:59
  be the year that they if they're going to make the playoffs
• 42:01
  they're gonna sneak into the playoffs in a division that so
• 42:04
  wide, open Atlanta. I expect if Raheem Morris is not
• 42:08
  fired this year. I'd be shocked.
• 42:09
  I mean, you should be gone with the talent that Elena has
• 42:13
  Atlanta has the most talented team in that Division.
• 42:16
  I mean, if you look from top to bottom Bichon Robinson is one of
• 42:20
  the top two running backs in the league they had Kyle Pitts there
• 42:23
  that their finally using, and you can see how talented he is.
• 42:26
  You have London, who's one of the more underrated wide
• 42:30
  receivers in a league? The offensive line is a much
• 42:32
  better than it really looks. They're defense as been up and
• 42:36
  down all season. Maybe.
• 42:37
  Because it's the coaching, I mean, this team could absolutely
• 42:40
  be the best team in that division.
• 42:42
  But guess what? You're in a division that has a
• 42:46
  young teen that Looks like they have a coach that's up and
• 42:49
  coming and they have another another team with Baker Mayfield
• 42:52
  that. I mean, it looks like he could
• 42:55
  be a star, but then there are games that you're wondering.
• 42:57
  What the hell is this guy doing in the pocket?
• 42:59
  Why is he moving outside of the pocket?
• 43:01
  Making a throw like that. You question, what Baker is
• 43:04
  doing in in very important parts of the game.
• 43:07
  I want to mention to your article or you were mentioning
• 43:09
  comparing the the draft quarterbacks.
• 43:11
  And yes, Rosa was a bus obviously but you look at the
• 43:13
  other four only boss? Yeah.
• 43:14
  Yeah you look at the other four and you look at Baker and
• 43:17
  darnold, we've seen them have their great flashes.
• 43:19
  We all seen them, like crumble kind of later in the season.
• 43:21
  You saw that last year with the baker too kind of stumbled down
• 43:24
  the stretch, obviously, had an injury issues too, but they lost
• 43:26
  to Washington and he made the mistakes in that game.
• 43:28
  And then Sam darnold last three games of the Vikings really fell
• 43:31
  apart, too. And you hope that same kind of
• 43:32
  thing, doesn't happen with Seattle.
• 43:33
  And there's Lamar Jackson who it seems like when the Ravens are a
• 43:36
  higher seed. He plays not as well, but
• 43:38
  they're even the lower seed. Now, you wonder if he has a
• 43:40
  sense of adversity, now being a force team, which the Ravens
• 43:43
  that's the last time I won the Super Bowl, we're a force and
• 43:44
  they've done very well as a 60. So in the morning you want to
• 43:46
  hear something crazy about that draft.
• 43:48
  It was a great draft and it could go down as one of the
• 43:50
  greatest quarterbacks of all time.
• 43:52
  But guess what? None of those players played in
• 43:55
  a Super Bowl yet. None of them.
• 43:56
  None of them with all that Talent.
• 43:58
  Lamar Jackson, who won, how many MVPs so Josh Allen, who just won
• 44:03
  his first Baker, Mayfield was up for an MVP.
• 44:06
  This year Sam Donald was up for an MVP this year.
• 44:09
  I mean just think about it. How talented all these
• 44:12
  quarterbacks are and none of them have played in a Super Bowl
• 44:15
  yet, none of them. And that's why you were saying
• 44:17
  before with Aaron Rodgers, too, like Aaron Rodgers, maybe isn't
• 44:19
  considered one of the greatest like overall quarterbacks over
• 44:22
  Tom, Brady and stuff like that. But at the same time Aaron
• 44:24
  Rodgers and also Drew Brees played in the NFC where there's
• 44:27
  a lot more parody. Whereas even now with the AFC,
• 44:29
  there's like barely any parody because until this year, the
• 44:31
  chiefs were just running away with everything.
• 44:34
  Speaking of parody. Well, I don't know if it's
• 44:35
  parody. The Giants, beat the Raiders
• 44:38
  yesterday. The two worst teams in the NFL
• 44:40
  faced off the Raiders and the Giants.
• 44:42
  Duked it out, for the chance to be the in the driver's seat for
• 44:46
  the number one, pick in 2026 and in the 2026 and a Fel.
• 44:51
  Drafted John's easily beat the Raiders 34 to 10 as the Raiders.
• 44:55
  Where without key starters in tight end, Brock Bowers and
• 45:00
  defensive end, Maxx Crosby who were put on the IR before the
• 45:05
  game and what could only be described As an absolute tank.
• 45:11
  Adam scheffner reports that the Raiders put Maxx Crosby on the
• 45:15
  season ending injury reserve and he will get knee surgery.
• 45:20
  Fox Sports Jake Glaser reports that Crosby left the team
• 45:24
  facility to to a disagreement over being put on an eye on the
• 45:30
  IR saying that he wanted to play the final two games and didn't
• 45:36
  care about the Raiders. Getting the number one overall
• 45:38
  pick in the draft Glacier edit that wild Crosby said, he didn't
• 45:43
  want to be part of a part ways with the Raiders.
• 45:47
  He doesn't think that will stay the same this off season.
• 45:51
  Despite winning the game. The Giants are still currently
• 45:54
  the number two pick and the Jets.
• 45:56
  Number three, the Titans and the Cardinals losing all the way,
• 46:00
  three, four and five. All four teams.
• 46:04
  Have a three and 13 record. The Browns move up.
• 46:08
  To the number six pick following their upset with the Steelers
• 46:13
  and the commanders are at number seven, both at Four Winds.
• 46:17
  I mean the draft is so Up and down.
• 46:23
  You don't know what these guys are going to be honestly and I I
• 46:27
  do believe minto's is going to be the number one pick and I
• 46:30
  think that's where Las Vegas wanted to go and they're
• 46:34
  definitely going for that number one pick.
• 46:36
  And they knew that if the Giants were sitting at one they're
• 46:39
  trading out of that pic. Everybody knows that the Giants
• 46:43
  unless and I'll say this. If Joe Schoen is gone and a
• 46:48
  Giants were sitting at one, I wrote a story that the Giants
• 46:50
  have to consider Mendoza consider him.
• 46:53
  But it's not going to fold that way.
• 46:56
  So the Giants are going to stay with Jackson taught it.
• 46:58
  Number two. Maybe they trade out of that
• 46:59
  pick. I don't know what the Giants are
• 47:01
  going to do. They're still position in a very
• 47:02
  good way and they still couldn't move out of that pick and get
• 47:06
  the player of their choosing and add to their draft stock. but at
• 47:11
  one, And hearing this story that Maxx Crosby.
• 47:15
  I don't, I'm not even gonna say Brock Bowers, because Brock
• 47:17
  Bowers is a quiet guy. He never speaks even when he he
• 47:21
  fell out of the top 10 in the draft a couple of years ago. and
• 47:26
  a lot of people were questioning that, At where did he go into
• 47:29
  13? And I remember that because a
• 47:33
  lot of Jet fans want to Brock power is and it was a lot of
• 47:35
  complaints that the Jets didn't go after him.
• 47:38
  But hey, they went with an offensive lineman and as well as
• 47:41
  they should. I will say this Brock Bowers
• 47:45
  never gone out there and throw any organization George or
• 47:48
  anybody under the bus. When the guy is one of the best
• 47:51
  tight ends, one of the more talented tight ends we've seen
• 47:54
  in a very long time. This man, and I say this about
• 47:58
  Maxx Crosby. I love, Maxx Crosby, I love his
• 48:02
  personality, I love how he goes out there.
• 48:04
  He really, he puts a lot on his own shoulders with the defense
• 48:09
  and and really the personality of this organization and team.
• 48:13
  and I remember, I Devonte Adams was playing for this team, a
• 48:17
  couple of years ago and I watched The quarterback five on
• 48:22
  Netflix in Davante Adams before he was traded to the Jets.
• 48:26
  You got a chance to get to know, Maxx Crosby, and and Devonte
• 48:30
  Adams is relationship. And Devonte says or said, one of
• 48:36
  the brightest and interesting personalities ever played with
• 48:39
  is is Maxx Crosby and on and off the field the guy is not quiet.
• 48:44
  He's very outspoken and he expresses himself in many
• 48:49
  different ways and that I think that shows with the tattoos all
• 48:53
  over his body, he is a unique personality.
• 48:57
  And when you hear the Raiders and Max already said, he never
• 49:00
  wants to be traded. He wants to be afraid of for
• 49:02
  life. And now you hear a story like
• 49:04
  this. And your questioning, if the
• 49:05
  Raiders made the right decision, sitting a guy like, Max Crosby
• 49:09
  who came out and said that he wants to play the final two
• 49:11
  games, he doesn't care about getting the number one, pick.
• 49:15
  This organization. Is how to problem, keeping
• 49:19
  Superstars there. And you have one of the best
• 49:23
  passwords in all of football. You could say he's outspoken.
• 49:27
  You could say, he's on drugs, whatever you want to say about
• 49:30
  the guy. The guy is an amazing player.
• 49:34
  And now he's mad. And when you you go into an
• 49:37
  off-season with a mad player, a 709 year old coach, who might be
• 49:43
  looking for, I don't know. Look for a place to stay because
• 49:46
  he's gonna need his kids or his wife to take care of them.
• 49:49
  Because I think the most he's done on a football field is
• 49:52
  gone. I mean you you have to worry
• 49:57
  that the Raiders might lose a play of this magnitude and after
• 50:01
  if Maxx Crosby gets traded because he doesn't want to be
• 50:04
  there, what do you have there? Brock Bowers.
• 50:05
  How long is it going to be when Brock barrer says?
• 50:08
  I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to play for a
• 50:11
  losing organization. I want to win.
• 50:13
  And bring him into those are there, it's great.
• 50:15
  He is a great kid. I think you'll fit fit there in
• 50:19
  vagus the vagus fans are gonna love them the organization and
• 50:23
  Vegas. I just, I feel like is as
• 50:26
  beautiful as the city is and the casino's you get lost their you
• 50:32
  really get lost there and I think when you think about Vegas
• 50:36
  now, when it comes to sports team, you think about you think
• 50:39
  about hockey You don't you don't really think about the football
• 50:43
  team because the football team stinks.
• 50:46
  They stink, the hockey teams. One of the best in the NHL.
• 50:49
  Since they were, they were, they brought, they were brought as a
• 50:54
  franchise to the organic, you know, to to Vegas.
• 50:58
  They have not been successful, the Raiders ever since they
• 51:01
  moved from Oakland, they haven't been successful successful in
• 51:04
  Oakland, for many, many years. That's what it had to move
• 51:08
  because they couldn't sell out stadiums.
• 51:09
  The stadium was falling apart. And the owner in Davis is an
• 51:15
  idiot. Needs a new haircut or new
• 51:17
  hairstyle. I mean, he's got a beautiful
• 51:19
  sexy girlfriend, who's like, 18, 19, whatever, however, old she
• 51:23
  is I don't know how it's legal. I mean honestly, when you hear
• 51:28
  Maxx, Crosby. Telling.
• 51:31
  Reporters or whatever. Whoever whoever he's speaking to
• 51:34
  off air, which is getting out into the public eye, it has to
• 51:39
  have you wondering if Maxx Crosby is going to ask for his
• 51:42
  his papers ask for out, he could go to many different
• 51:46
  organizations. That would give a boatload of
• 51:49
  picks to get a young and he's still fairly young, he's only
• 51:52
  28, 29 years old, he's in to me the prime of his career, he
• 51:56
  still could play at a top level. I mean, he could change your
• 51:59
  franchise. Look at my Carson's now, I'm not
• 52:01
  saying, I honestly think that and this is my opinion, Maxx.
• 52:06
  Crosby is more of a franchise changer, like a Parsons just
• 52:10
  because of his personality, what he brings to the table.
• 52:13
  And and what he does to the media when he goes out there and
• 52:17
  he speaks to the media, the guy is fun to listen to my gosh
• 52:21
  quiet absurd. I mean he sometimes is oblivious
• 52:26
  I mean when my guitar, she wonder where he's going with the
• 52:30
  con-vers. Vision, you know where Maxx,
• 52:33
  Crosby is going. Every time he speaks to the
• 52:36
  media, he's out of his mind. And as far as the Giants are
• 52:40
  concerned. Winning or losing, the Giants
• 52:44
  are still position in a very good place.
• 52:46
  They're sitting on number two, there might be a new GM in
• 52:49
  place. There's definitely going to be a
• 52:50
  new coach. They trade out, they sit there,
• 52:52
  they're gonna get a good player and the Giants were never going
• 52:56
  after Mendoza. So it to me winning that game.
• 52:59
  Didn't hurt the Giants. It didn't, it didn't benefit the
• 53:03
  giants either. So, I mean, when you look at
• 53:06
  this game and you look at the potential of where the Raiders
• 53:10
  are now, and if I was Mentos, are does Mendoza and I mean,
• 53:15
  does it doesn't seem like the personality or the type of
• 53:18
  person that's going to tell the organization?
• 53:20
  I don't want to play there, but I mean, when he was in New York,
• 53:24
  he loved it. I'm telling you guys fans.
• 53:27
  I was there at the eyes, man. He loved the New York media.
• 53:30
  He loved it. He was feasting on it.
• 53:34
  And it just it was some kind of vibe about him. does man, goes
• 53:38
  it tell the Vegas, Raiders, I don't want to play there, I have
• 53:41
  no interest in playing their Let me trade me to the Giants or
• 53:46
  trade me to the Jets. I do something.
• 53:48
  I'm not playing for the Raiders. I mean, because what do they
• 53:52
  have to look forward to? What are the Raiders have when?
• 53:54
  But besides brought Bowers, they got no wide receivers.
• 53:57
  Jakobi Meyers is not there anymore.
• 53:59
  What do they got? You're going to an organization
• 54:02
  as a 79 80 year old coach a running game.
• 54:06
  Josh Jacobs, he signed as a free agent, with the Green Bay
• 54:09
  Packers. I mean, they have no running
• 54:11
  game, they got nothing there, they have nothing and and the
• 54:15
  offense of line. Oh my God.
• 54:17
  Mendoza is a pocket quarterback. How the hell is that gonna work?
• 54:21
  You have no offense of line and you have no investment in that
• 54:26
  offensive line. What are you gonna do in the
• 54:27
  offseason offensive lineman? Don't grow on trees fish, you
• 54:31
  know this it they don't grow on trees.
• 54:34
  You don't just find him in free agency.
• 54:36
  You drafted him. So now you're going to me.
• 54:42
  And it was seasoned with men. Those are where he's not
• 54:44
  protected in his blog side. Good luck.
• 54:46
  This guy's Not Gonna Last the first Cuban American Born
• 54:51
  quarterback. Drafted at one.
• 54:54
  And he's not going to last more than a year or two because the
• 54:57
  guys gonna be killed, he's gonna be closed line.
• 54:59
  That's all I got to say about it as far as the Giants in the
• 55:03
  Raiders game and and really the Raider situation.
• 55:06
  I feel bad because Maxx Crosby just shows you how much he loves
• 55:09
  the organization and loves to play football, and the Raiders
• 55:12
  organization will do anything to lose, so they can get that
• 55:15
  number one pick, yeah, right. The max Crosby is somebody that
• 55:18
  when you ever say a franchise defining guy like play play,
• 55:21
  like the play, like a Raider, like defining, Raider Nation,
• 55:23
  that's the intensity that you always want with that old
• 55:26
  school, Raiders mentality. And now you're having this kind
• 55:29
  of thing. This was a guy that was a fifth
• 55:30
  round, pick in John Groove in second year and he went through
• 55:34
  all of that drama that went on there with that whole Saga.
• 55:37
  Then the whole drama with the Devante Adams Saga last year and
• 55:40
  many other things and all these coaching changes.
• 55:42
  Now and now you're going to throw him away because he wants
• 55:45
  to play for the last two games of the year.
• 55:48
  I understand if you want to put them on season ending, I are.
• 55:50
  If he has his injury and weak 8 or week, 9, and you're out of
• 55:52
  it. It's two games.
• 55:54
  He wants to play. Let him play.
• 55:55
  You cannot damage a reputation like that.
• 55:57
  You saw the Bengals do that with Trey Hendrickson for a year and
• 56:00
  a half. He wanted to be traded, like
• 56:02
  they were supposed to be being traded at the 2024 draft.
• 56:04
  And now look where that soccer goals and they're not gonna,
• 56:07
  they're gonna have to let him go or they're gonna franchise tag
• 56:09
  him in trading for a day, three, pick at this point and Max
• 56:11
  Crosby's a better player than Trey Hendrickson, and stays
• 56:13
  healthy or in general. And what he does, he still plays
• 56:16
  through it and he wants to play through it in this game.
• 56:18
  I don't think he was hurt. Yeah, he was playing as far as I
• 56:21
  was. I heard Nathan was telling me
• 56:24
  that it was playing basketball. He was shooting Hoops the day
• 56:28
  before they announced that he was going to be put on IR.
• 56:30
  So, what does that tell you about him?
• 56:32
  He's gonna have knee surgery, get out of here that to me, that
• 56:35
  was to was their way. And it was, I believe, Max
• 56:39
  Crosby's way of telling the organization to go f themselves.
• 56:43
  And that's why he wanted everybody to see that it was
• 56:46
  playing basketball and it was the organization's way of
• 56:49
  saying, we have power. We could do whatever we want.
• 56:51
  And we saw it last year too with Myles.
• 56:54
  Garrett, like Myles, Garrett, we eventually got paid by the
• 56:56
  Browns, but he survived the turmoil in that organization,
• 56:59
  the dysfunction that they've been going on to.
• 57:01
  And if you look at like the 21st century organizations, like you
• 57:04
  would say Washington with Dan Snyder or the Browns on the
• 57:07
  Raiders, those are probably the three you look at it.
• 57:09
  Say, what are they doing? Wrong and like pretty much every
• 57:11
  era. Yeah, the Raiders have made the
• 57:13
  playoffs on occasion. I give them Credit in the 2021
• 57:15
  year, when greeting resign and then they had an interim.
• 57:18
  Say, once the playoffs, they had a good sense of adversity.
• 57:20
  And then they went all downhill again after that, because they
• 57:23
  want to keep the players happy there.
• 57:25
  Devante Adams, love the idea of playing in Vegas.
• 57:28
  Love the idea playing in the southwest of his family because
• 57:30
  of his family over there. It never seemed like he had any
• 57:33
  problems with the organization, until the organization got too
• 57:36
  cute. And he had his best buddy there
• 57:37
  too. Correct.
• 57:38
  And they threw him out, too. And it just seems like they have
• 57:42
  a reputation of an ego. That the ownership is getting
• 57:45
  too much in the way with Mark Davis and now with Tom Brady
• 57:48
  there, too. And you wonder how much
• 57:49
  influence that might have, you would think Tom, Brady a
• 57:51
  players? But isn't that the way the when
• 57:53
  it comes to professional sports and with organizations,
• 57:56
  especially personalities, like Davis, we've seen it many, many
• 57:59
  times. Look at the Knicks, James Dolan
• 58:02
  we have seen this different personalities and different
• 58:05
  ownership. If they feel that bigger than
• 58:07
  the team and they, they're more important than the team.
• 58:09
  They're going to be outspoken, and they're going to step in.
• 58:11
  And, and, and want to be in front of the television for in
• 58:14
  front of the cameras. And I think that's the problem
• 58:16
  right now with Vegas Davis doesn't know how How to keep
• 58:19
  himself away from the cameras just like his dad.
• 58:21
  This is been a big problem for the Raiders.
• 58:23
  They got the money to move to Vegas.
• 58:25
  It wasn't from his pocket. He didn't have the money.
• 58:27
  What did he do? He sold.
• 58:30
  That's what he did. He sold his Oakland Raiders to
• 58:34
  Vegas, to get the stadium that he wanted.
• 58:36
  That's what he did. He's a sellout and that's to me
• 58:40
  what we've seen for many many years.
• 58:42
  And many, many optional situations, we have seen the
• 58:46
  Raiders with different ownerships because his father
• 58:48
  was doing the things that he was doing.
• 58:50
  And now what he is doing, it's been an absolute joke.
• 58:53
  This was one of the best franchises in the NFL and 70s.
• 58:56
  They have fallen off. They've went from one of the
• 58:58
  best franchise franchisees, and one of the best working
• 59:02
  franchises to one of the worst franchises in the NFL.
• 59:05
  I think there was a point even two in NFL history, where the, I
• 59:08
  think the Raiders had the third or fourth most hall of famers
• 59:10
  total. Like, that's how good of a
• 59:12
  history that they have. And now all the sudden they're
• 59:14
  doing the opposite thing that you talked about with Vegas with
• 59:16
  the golden knights and even now Vegas with the Ace to going over
• 59:19
  there in a couple of years. Like the Vegas, golden knights
• 59:21
  have been one of the most stable organizations since they've come
• 59:23
  in to the NHL and the A's. Look at the A's last obviously,
• 59:27
  they actually spent the top 10 amount of money and yet the
• 59:29
  Raiders who have these freak athletes Maxx Crosby.
• 59:31
  Brock Bowers and now Ashton jeanty, they drafted to like
• 59:34
  these guys are not going to want to stay there.
• 59:36
  If they have these they're being mistreated the same way and it
• 59:39
  seems like they're still stuck in kind of an old school way.
• 59:41
  They have a GM that was a hand-me-down for the Patriots.
• 59:43
  They fired their GM after they hire Pete.
• 59:45
  Carroll Pete, Carroll 76 years old and the Raiders fans also on
• 59:48
  Reddit, which were you posted that?
• 59:50
  When you posted the Mendoza story, they were all saying.
• 59:53
  They want Pete Carroll fired already and like that's not a
• 59:55
  good look. The Raiders had the most coaches
• 59:57
  coaching changes in the 21st century too.
• 59:59
  What does that say about your ownership?
• 1:00:01
  Yeah. Maybe you have a problem there.
• 1:00:03
  It's been a problem since the 70s Errol they thought.
• 1:00:06
  They, I mean, I can't wait for the movie with Nicholas Cage and
• 1:00:10
  Christian Bale to come out about John Madden.
• 1:00:12
  And that those Raiders teams when, you know, it became like
• 1:00:16
  kind of part of the fabric of America, going against the
• 1:00:19
  Cowboys and 70s. Those matchups.
• 1:00:22
  The Steelers, you know, in the AFC just these is part of that
• 1:00:26
  that culture that made the NFL what it was.
• 1:00:28
  And it's so shameful that it's turned into what it is now they
• 1:00:33
  had that run with Gruden, right? They got they grew and gets
• 1:00:37
  traded right to Tampa Bay grew it and then beats the Raiders
• 1:00:42
  and they've been basically garbage since they've been
• 1:00:45
  garbage for about 25 years. Yep.
• 1:00:48
  There's only been a couple of times where they've even been
• 1:00:51
  halfway, decent with Derek Carr along the way before he got
• 1:00:55
  hurt. He had that broken leg.
• 1:00:56
  That one year, they were talking about him as MVP candidate.
• 1:00:59
  They were the second best team in the NFL that.
• 1:01:00
  Are they really good and that was Is it and that that really
• 1:01:04
  was it, and I don't see what the hell they're gonna do in this
• 1:01:08
  draft, because you're right arrow.
• 1:01:10
  They can't block for Ashton jeanty.
• 1:01:12
  Ashton jeanty is getting hit before the, he gets the ball,
• 1:01:15
  basically. It's it's what it happens.
• 1:01:18
  Speedy to Sake One on the Giants.
• 1:01:19
  He would get a guy in the backfield and before it the
• 1:01:24
  holes, you can even see the holes.
• 1:01:25
  He has to Juke somebody. That's how bad it is for Gente.
• 1:01:28
  And I think at this point gente's, you know, he's just
• 1:01:31
  seen too much, they're not blocking it just looks like he's
• 1:01:34
  running into piles at this point.
• 1:01:35
  It's sucks to watch him play because you saw how great he was
• 1:01:39
  the year before, boys. He right?
• 1:01:40
  So what do you do if you're the Raiders you and you can't take a
• 1:01:45
  pocket quarterback if you can't block well, who can make a
• 1:01:47
  pocket? That's only gonna be right now
• 1:01:49
  sitting at number three, that New York Jets team that I think
• 1:01:53
  really would like Mr. Mendoza to be their quarterback, Carol.
• 1:01:57
  And if they're sitting at three and the Raiders at one, they
• 1:02:00
  know the Giants. Don't need a quarterback at 2
• 1:02:02
  the Raiders can. Get the next quarterback,
• 1:02:04
  whether it's Simpson or more or somebody has like the free
• 1:02:09
  combined type of a deal this year.
• 1:02:11
  I would be a Raiders move. It would be a Raiders move.
• 1:02:14
  But to me, I think Mendoza is a jet because the Raiders are
• 1:02:19
  going to have the first pick. I think it's just, it's gonna
• 1:02:22
  line up for them and I, I do think it's gonna work out that
• 1:02:26
  way because they have the infrastructure that offensive
• 1:02:29
  line to be there with Mendoza. So that's what it looks like.
• 1:02:32
  It's going to happen to me. At least, I really would like to
• 1:02:36
  see the Jets. Get him, I think Arrow.
• 1:02:38
  If they do that it would be Miracle.
• 1:02:40
  The rest of the options, the Giants, the Giants, everyone
• 1:02:43
  knew that. You should, everyone should have
• 1:02:45
  put all their life savings on the Giants.
• 1:02:47
  Win in that game because the Giants always win that game.
• 1:02:50
  That's the culture game has first pick.
• 1:02:52
  They just always do it every year.
• 1:02:54
  It's time to test her tradition in New York for us to blow the
• 1:02:57
  first chance of the first overall pick.
• 1:02:59
  It's whatever. I don't really sitting at 2, it
• 1:03:02
  could still Trade out of that. Number two pack, it's fine.
• 1:03:04
  As long as they don't take a running back at two, God knows
• 1:03:07
  what happened. Last time they did that and then
• 1:03:11
  you have the Titans who need a coach, but they don't need a
• 1:03:13
  quarterback and the Cardinals Ganon thinks he's coming back.
• 1:03:17
  No, I would beg to differ. They're the wild card for a
• 1:03:20
  quarterback too. If they could figure out Murray
• 1:03:23
  Well, I mean, I don't really know what's going on for that so
• 1:03:26
  I, you know, it's it's gonna be tough but they can get rid of
• 1:03:29
  like even having paid most of that contract, it's kind of like
• 1:03:32
  the Giants at the end of that. Daniel Jones one, remember, they
• 1:03:34
  could have traded him with the most of the guaranteed money
• 1:03:36
  coming off. Is the problem is just nobody
• 1:03:38
  wants Kyler hurry. At this point, I will tell you
• 1:03:40
  this. If Gannon gets fired, he's gonna
• 1:03:42
  go to Miami and I do believe Mike McDaniel is.
• 1:03:45
  There he is going in him are going to work together because I
• 1:03:49
  know they're very close and it makes a lot of sense as good as
• 1:03:52
  Miami's defense has been over the last couple of weeks Gannon.
• 1:03:56
  Would absolutely to me changed that defense make that defense
• 1:04:00
  in Elite defense because you saw what he did with the Eagles and
• 1:04:03
  I I think he's a perfect fit over that but again, only time
• 1:04:07
  will only time will fall into place where we think everything
• 1:04:12
  could happen, but I will say this, if you're a giant thing,
• 1:04:15
  you can't be upset at the Giants winning that game if you're a
• 1:04:17
  Raiders fan, good luck because whoever they choose to be their
• 1:04:21
  quarterback. He's Probably gonna fail because
• 1:04:24
  they have got nothing. No protection.
• 1:04:25
  Nothing there. And I'm gonna tell you this
• 1:04:27
  right now. Ashton Gente is going to ask for
• 1:04:29
  his his papers. Very soon, just like Jacobs did
• 1:04:33
  Jacobs did not want to be there, he had no interest to staying
• 1:04:36
  there with that organization. The way, the organization was
• 1:04:38
  treating him and they they weren't after Jacobs in that
• 1:04:41
  draft in the first round. And we saw, he played for
• 1:04:44
  Alabama, he was in Elite player. He was one of the best running
• 1:04:46
  backs. I've seen come out of Alabama,
• 1:04:47
  in a long, long time. And we seen what he's done with
• 1:04:51
  the Green Bay Packers when he stays healthy.
• 1:04:52
  He is his Elite as any running back in the league.
• 1:04:55
  So, and asked to Gente. I had him on two of my fantasy
• 1:04:58
  teams. I, he did some things, but he
• 1:05:02
  didn't do enough. And when you're drafting him as
• 1:05:05
  high, as a lot of people were drafting him.
• 1:05:06
  You would expect him to put up numbers like a bichon Robinson
• 1:05:11
  and I thought he was Bichon Robinson esque and because
• 1:05:15
  Atlanta has a much better offensive line and Raiders do.
• 1:05:18
  I mean the Raiders offensive line could be one of the worst
• 1:05:21
  offensive line. It's coming to the Ever seen
• 1:05:23
  coming into the year. It really wasn't supposed to be
• 1:05:25
  that bad either. That's not bad Miller.
• 1:05:27
  They were all awful badly line coach makes a big difference and
• 1:05:34
  I've always had this Theory and Speedy.
• 1:05:36
  I think you get to see it in Washington this year.
• 1:05:38
  You know the first year that coaches gone, they still
• 1:05:44
  remember the lessons of the line coach that was there that taught
• 1:05:47
  him how to be good. Their line coach was Carmen
• 1:05:50
  bricillo who went over to the Giants.
• 1:05:53
  Who is by far the best position coach on?
• 1:05:55
  The giants has turned that offensive line into a functional
• 1:05:58
  unit. The only thing good about the
• 1:06:00
  Giants this year are other than scada bow for a handful of
• 1:06:04
  weeks, right? So what what are we see happen
• 1:06:07
  over there? Now, it's a year out.
• 1:06:08
  They can't, they have no one. That's coaching these guys up to
• 1:06:12
  be good. Look, what happened in
• 1:06:13
  Washington? Bobby Johnson, The Immortal
• 1:06:15
  Giants line coach, who couldn't get.
• 1:06:17
  I mean, Evan Neil looked like he was cross-eyed and his shoes
• 1:06:20
  tied together on every single play.
• 1:06:22
  He was out there and you'll have fun in his ass.
• 1:06:25
  Crack. Every single Washington was good
• 1:06:27
  on the line last year, which in Daniels, because Bobby Johnson,
• 1:06:30
  just got there and hadn't ruined them yet.
• 1:06:32
  Now, this year, look how bad that Washington offensive line
• 1:06:37
  is. Look what happened to Jayden,
• 1:06:38
  Daniels? Look, what happened to the rest
• 1:06:40
  of them speaking. Coach, speaking of the devil,
• 1:06:43
  Java, Chamberlain is back in the frame.
• 1:06:46
  What's up Java? What's up Bells?
• 1:06:50
  Well, we see you. Yeah, I know you're getting
• 1:06:52
  ready because we're gonna get into the cfp playoff front and
• 1:06:56
  second round preview. Are you ready for its You know
• 1:06:59
  what? I'm always ready now.
• 1:07:01
  Now, you know, I got We got our first L of the year put on us,
• 1:07:05
  so that wasn't fun. But you know, it's always, it's
• 1:07:09
  always fun to sit there and watch a game with your son and,
• 1:07:12
  you know, when you've watched somebody grow up and get to see
• 1:07:15
  them chase their dreams and play basketball, it's it's funny.
• 1:07:18
  You never want to see him lose but That's the way it goes.
• 1:07:21
  But hey, we're gonna have to talk about losing in this
• 1:07:23
  playoff, right? So we might as well get to it.
• 1:07:26
  Yes, cfp playoff second round preview of the quarter, finals
• 1:07:30
  of the college football playoff kickoff, New Year's Eve with
• 1:07:35
  number 10. Miami facing off.

  Number two, Ohio State in the cotton ball in Arlington Texas,

  an offense that averages 39.3 points.
• 1:08:13
  Per game, going against Texas Tech defense that has only
• 1:08:17
  allowed more than 17. Points just twice this year.
• 1:08:22
  Number nine Alabama, will face off number one.
• 1:08:25
  Indiana at the Rose Bowl in California in a game where
• 1:08:32
  Indiana is a 7-point favorite Indiana is number.
• 1:08:36
  Has number one, it has the number one wide receiver Omar
• 1:08:40
  Cooper, who led them with 58 catches and 800, and 4 yards
• 1:08:46

• 1:09:07
  during the regular season winning 43 to 35 Old.
• 1:09:13
  Miss will be with out lane kiffin and much of their
• 1:09:16
  coaching staff from the first Shop, Speedy.
• 1:09:21
  Where do you want to go? First.
• 1:09:22
  Where do you want to have? Because I know you're the
• 1:09:24
  college football Guru here. Where do you want to go?
• 1:09:26
  You know what we anyway, we ended with the Ole Miss Georgia,
• 1:09:29
  in the read off. Let's start with their with the
• 1:09:31
  X Lane kiffin. First challenge against Georgia
• 1:09:34
  team that already beat them in the regular season.
• 1:09:35
  I will say this, I expect Georgia to go all the way to the
• 1:09:39
  championship. I think there is good.
• 1:09:41
  Is any team in this tournament? They have they always have one
• 1:09:44
  of the best defenses in the country.
• 1:09:46
  They got a great running game. I don't know about that
• 1:09:49
  quarterback play, and that, that's the question and always.
• 1:09:51
  We need them to go all the way too.
• 1:09:54
  You are a Georgia Bar in, in Midtown.
• 1:09:59
  That's right. That's right to goes.
• 1:10:01
  It's, it's fun to watch more money for you too, man, you
• 1:10:04
  should know. We would have said Jeff over
• 1:10:06
  there. He would have loved us.
• 1:10:07
  Yeah, to me, to me, I think the Bulldogs are expected to win
• 1:10:12
  this game. Now, that doesn't mean Old.
• 1:10:13
  Miss can pull it off and Old Miss with no really.
• 1:10:17
  Their whole coaching staff, you know, Lane kiffin.
• 1:10:19
  And they Owed. They showed that they can win
• 1:10:22
  without him. They won by what 20 points their
• 1:10:24
  last game. Yeah, like 41 to 10 and they put
• 1:10:26
  up 50 points in that game. So you do you think that plays
• 1:10:30
  into their favor or it hurts him where you like, you know what,
• 1:10:33
  here's the middle finger confidence.
• 1:10:34
  One without you confidence. I think the fact that they have
• 1:10:38
  a rookie coach that is taking over for Lane kiffin.
• 1:10:40
  A defensive coordinator, it's never done it before has a
• 1:10:44
  chance to go to the semis and knock off the Georgia.
• 1:10:46
  Bulldogs, a national championship team with one of
• 1:10:49
  the great defensive minds and college football, it makes a lot
• 1:10:52
  of sense that this game could go back and forth.
• 1:10:55
  I mean, speed, you look at the potential of this game.
• 1:10:57
  Do you think that this game sticks out from, maybe and
• 1:11:01
  Alabama, Indiana? I said that line, scare you.
• 1:11:05
  I just a line. No, no, I think both teams have
• 1:11:08
  good offensive lines. I think what it is, is, I think
• 1:11:11
  if and even though they lost that game 43 to 35, they still
• 1:11:14
  had a good offense in that game. They was probably the best team
• 1:11:18
  besides Alabama when they beat Georgia.
• 1:11:20
  It against that Georgia defense, that has that kind of reputation
• 1:11:23
  in the front seven. So Trinidad Shameless is a good
• 1:11:26
  quarterback. They have a good receiving
• 1:11:27
  Corps, like now doing it with another offensive coaching
• 1:11:30
  staff. I think Charlie Weiss Jr did
• 1:11:32
  return for their gaming as Tulane, but he was the only one
• 1:11:34
  of that offensive assistant coaching staff, that return.
• 1:11:37
  I'm just curious game plan wise because are they going to
• 1:11:40
  deviate so much because they don't have kif in there?
• 1:11:43
  And are they going to be able to incorporate those same kind of
• 1:11:45
  content because this Ole Miss defense is not it's still good
• 1:11:48
  but it's not the Ole Miss defense of last year when they
• 1:11:51
  were the best defense in the sea last year and they missed the
• 1:11:54
  playoff because they lost a couple Bad Games late in the
• 1:11:56
  year. Now I think of Lane kiffin was
• 1:11:57
  there, I would give I would give all miss a little bit of inch
• 1:12:00
  like Arrow was saying, Georgia. They're passing game is still
• 1:12:02
  kind of questionable and that's where I think that could be the
• 1:12:05
  damage of reputation but they're running game.
• 1:12:07
  If they can control the game, in their defense, still wins in
• 1:12:10
  college football. So, I like in the NFL where you
• 1:12:11
  kind of have to have a top 12 quarterback, you can get away
• 1:12:13
  with having a good or well, coach defense in college
• 1:12:16
  football outside of really LSU recently and Ohio State last
• 1:12:19
  year. There's not a lot of prolific
• 1:12:21
  the teams with prolific passing attacks that are winning these
• 1:12:24
  national championships. So I think George is still as
• 1:12:26
  the edge in that regard. I think it's a different type of
• 1:12:28
  game that you see. And low scoring I think they
• 1:12:32
  have the easiest way to a championship, a national
• 1:12:34
  championship. If they win this game against
• 1:12:36
  Ole Miss, because obviously I we were talking about the the fact
• 1:12:40
  that Indiana might have the easiest way but honestly know if
• 1:12:44
  Indiana knocks off, Alabama they're matched up against.
• 1:12:46
  So Indiana would play organ or Texas Tech, right?
• 1:12:49
  That's right. And to me, I think Georgia just
• 1:12:52
  goes straight, right? So who, if Georgia wins this
• 1:12:55
  game? Who did they say?
• 1:12:55
  They would face off the Ohio State or Miami winner.
• 1:12:58
  So I, that's true. That's true.
• 1:13:01
  Maybe now it's interesting because Georgia, beat Ohio
• 1:13:04
  State, a few years ago, that was the game.
• 1:13:05
  We were mocking West about, oh good, happy New Year.
• 1:13:07
  Let's let's go into that. If that happens.
• 1:13:10
  Now, Ohio state that doesn't mean Ohio state is going to win
• 1:13:13
  that game against my handy because obviously, Miami, they
• 1:13:17
  have the back in and Back cast the opportunity to really proven
• 1:13:21
  himself to be a higher draft pick.
• 1:13:22
  Then a lot of people consider him to be there saying that he
• 1:13:26
  said, early second round pick maybe mid second round pick.
• 1:13:30
  Going to this class. But so was Jalen hurts and look
• 1:13:33
  what Jalen hurts his baby. He's a, he's a champion.
• 1:13:36
  He's this guy has been Sensational.
• 1:13:38
  Now, Beck is a different type of quarterback and I think that
• 1:13:42
  Beck has an opportunity to shine and shine bright against the
• 1:13:45
  Ohio State Buckeyes where everybody thinks if Ohio State
• 1:13:48
  wins it? They a lot of people believe
• 1:13:51
  Ohio, state is still the number one team in the nation.
• 1:13:53
  They think that Indiana knocking them off, was to me was just a
• 1:13:57
  close game and really look, he was the Battle of the kickers.
• 1:14:00
  That's what the proud that was what the game was.
• 1:14:02
  But I do believe that Ohio state is, I think has weaknesses and I
• 1:14:09
  think Indiana proved that they have weaknesses in that game in
• 1:14:12
  that that conference Championship game.
• 1:14:14
  So I think that when you look at my Emmy, I'm not saying Miami
• 1:14:18
  is, is a great team and a great roster.
• 1:14:20
  I do think they're very well coached and I think they have a
• 1:14:24
  Star Quarterback. Now again, we know saying is
• 1:14:28
  special kid and this guy's gonna Win a Heisman.
• 1:14:30
  He's definitely going to win a Heisman at least once before he
• 1:14:34
  plays an NFL football game. But I'll tell you this, he
• 1:14:38
  should have never been in the top five for the Heisman voting
• 1:14:40
  and he was I think he's and I'm not taking shots at him.
• 1:14:44
  He's a pretty boy that's what he is.
• 1:14:46
  That's what he looked like. When I when I get a chance to
• 1:14:49
  meet him, out of all the guys, he was the prettiest.
• 1:14:51
  So I'm not saying that doesn't mean he can't play the game, but
• 1:14:54
  you're going into a big game. You're a freshman.
• 1:14:57
  There's a lot of pressure on you and you have back who's been in
• 1:15:00
  college. He's been in college football
• 1:15:02
  for how many years? Four five.
• 1:15:03
  Yeah, five years he's been in this state.
• 1:15:06
  I don't know if he's been in this stage but he's in big
• 1:15:08
  stages. He's been in stages and he's
• 1:15:10
  found ways to win. And I do believe that the
• 1:15:13
  advantage goes to the veteran quarterback in Miami.
• 1:15:17
  That's why. I think even though everybody
• 1:15:20
  expects all Ohio state with the 9.5 favorite when it comes to
• 1:15:24
  their defense and what they can do on on the defensive side of
• 1:15:26
  the ball, why couldn't Miami put up enough numbers to Ohio State
• 1:15:30
  Buckeyes Miami's defense, has a shot to keep this game
• 1:15:32
  competitive because they do have one of the top 10 pass rushes in
• 1:15:35
  the nation. And if Ohio State's offensive
• 1:15:37
  line has an off game like they did against Indiana or even
• 1:15:39
  against Michigan. In the beginning of that game,
• 1:15:41
  they did not. They did not play great, then
• 1:15:42
  Miami. If they can get that defense
• 1:15:45
  going, can definitely keep this game close for a while.
• 1:15:47
  I was worried about the way Miami's offense.
• 1:15:49
  Played their last game against Texas, A&M Texas A&M is a top
• 1:15:52
  defense as well. They were the best defense in
• 1:15:53
  the SEC this year and I know you giant fans are gonna be watching
• 1:15:56
  a player and Caleb down. Yeah, I know fish has like like
• 1:16:00
  this infectious with this guy Taylor downs and RVs to their
• 1:16:04
  stars at Ohio State, probably two of the five best defensive
• 1:16:07
  players in the country this year too.
• 1:16:08
  So that's what makes it tough on Miami's.
• 1:16:10
  They had an offense that move the ball effectively for much of
• 1:16:13
  the first half of that Texas A&M.
• 1:16:14
  Every time you mentioned Caleb Downs.
• 1:16:15
  I think fish has a boner. I mean, I I can honestly You see
• 1:16:19
  fish with the Smurf on his face. Oh, give me Caleb.
• 1:16:21
  Give me Caleb. Uh-huh, I'll go down.
• 1:16:24
  Yeah, and Wes was the original one when he got recruited over
• 1:16:29
  there for our way to transferred over from Ohio State.
• 1:16:31
  Remember, he was in Oklahoma before that too and was a star
• 1:16:34
  on a really bad Oklahoma defense for a while and yeah that go
• 1:16:40
  down. Yeah.
• 1:16:41
  You might think the running game for Carson Beck they they have
• 1:16:47
  to establish that early for for it to open up the field, a
• 1:16:50
  little bit. Yes because I don't know if I
• 1:16:52
  could trust the passing game as consistently when it comes to
• 1:16:55
  Miami, has some decent wide receivers but they're not really
• 1:16:58
  known for it as much. Now, it's something I mentioned
• 1:17:00
  last week is Mario Cristobal when he coached in Oregon.
• 1:17:04
  Beat Ohio, State back in 2021 and offensively.
• 1:17:07
  They've always played well, again, Ryan day, whatever
• 1:17:10
  defense, according to have this switched around defensive
• 1:17:11
  coordinators obviously. But this type of defense that
• 1:17:14
  they've had with Ohio State, which really hasn't changed that
• 1:17:16
  much. And I'm curious to see if he
• 1:17:18
  adapts a lot of Those contacts with a different type of team
• 1:17:20
  with Miami Carson Beck I think is more of like he's a smart
• 1:17:24
  quarterback but he's not overly flashy but sometimes when he
• 1:17:28
  gets he's got a good arm man he has a good arm, you just can't
• 1:17:31
  have the early turnovers and that's where I think they're
• 1:17:33
  running game. Does factor in in the first half
• 1:17:34
  especially because Miami is going to have to win this game
• 1:17:36
  on their defense and ball control and not let Ohio state
• 1:17:39
  run away with it. Early, which is something you
• 1:17:41
  saw Indiana. Do very effectively in that
• 1:17:43
  game, Indiana also stopped the run very well.
• 1:17:45
  And Ohio State that both, they're running backs.
• 1:17:47
  We're not impressed with what they did against Texas, A&M the
• 1:17:51
  Texas A&M wear a top three team, you know, really throughout the
• 1:17:55
  nation. The whole year.
• 1:17:56
  I feel like that game was a tail like two halves like it.
• 1:18:00
  You saw like not really. It was an ugly defensive door
• 1:18:03
  and really was Miami moved the ball better.
• 1:18:05
  They just had a kicker. They missed a bunch too and you
• 1:18:07
  got a chance to see why I believe back could be a lot
• 1:18:10
  better than people think he's going to be in the NFL is that
• 1:18:13
  the guy can make every single throw.
• 1:18:15
  And and when when you put up, those kind of numbers in a game.
• 1:18:18
  Where you expected I believe. And I thought Texas A&M was
• 1:18:22
  going to run away with the game because I thought flat out as
• 1:18:26
  far as overall Talent. I believe, Texas, A&M Georgia,
• 1:18:30
  Ohio State. Where the as far as All Around
• 1:18:34
  Talent have the out of all the 12 teams, were the three best
• 1:18:37
  teams when it came to Talent on their roster and Texas.
• 1:18:41
  A&M, just got out classed by a Miami team.
• 1:18:43
  Now, obviously was a sloppy game.
• 1:18:44
  It was an ugly game, but you expect the better teams to win
• 1:18:48
  those sloppy games. That's what you expect and and
• 1:18:51
  Miami just showed you why they can pull off those sloppy games,
• 1:18:54
  Ohio State lost an ugly game against Indiana, right?
• 1:18:58
  That was an ugly game and if it goes to an ugly game, I'm gonna
• 1:19:02
  put my money on Miami, because Ohio state has a Young
• 1:19:06
  quarterback, that's put in a position that's never been there
• 1:19:10
  before, and and has a chance to win and National Championship in
• 1:19:14
  his rookie season. I think that's a lot of pressure
• 1:19:16
  to put on a Young quarterback. Yeah, it's interesting.
• 1:19:18
  Yeah, right. No adversity, Ohio State face,
• 1:19:20
  they're biggest, they're smallest win.
• 1:19:22
  I think before that. Indiana game was 17 point win,
• 1:19:24
  and that's where, if Miami can get that game to be a ugly, def
• 1:19:28
  The door or even Georgia in the next round.
• 1:19:30
  If they beat Ole Miss and Ohio State beats Miami, they can get
• 1:19:33
  it to be an ugly defensive tool too, that definitely makes it
• 1:19:36
  into the favor of one of those teams.
• 1:19:37
  Because, yeah, those offenses aren't great.
• 1:19:39
  And Georgia is the opposite where they had Carson back in
• 1:19:41
  the last few years. And now they have a freshman
• 1:19:43
  with Gunner Stockton or first time started with Gunner
• 1:19:45
  Stockton, and then back, it was like a 50 quarterback that's
• 1:19:47
  experience. Making the smart decisions,
• 1:19:49
  that's where it comes down to coaching.
• 1:19:50
  And I've always questioned, even though Ryan days won a national
• 1:19:52
  championship. Something is in-game coaching,
• 1:19:53
  could be a little off. And if christophel can get it
• 1:19:56
  really, of course, can get it. Where he knows the reputation
• 1:19:59
  against him. It could definitely make an
• 1:20:00
  interesting matchup. I also think Miami trying to
• 1:20:02
  prove it to the committee too. Good with something that
• 1:20:04
  factored in their win on A&M. I'm interested to see what
• 1:20:07
  Jeremiah Smith's gonna do in this game, because we know what
• 1:20:09
  Jeremiah Smith is. The guy is one of the most
• 1:20:12
  explosive wife receivers we've ever seen.
• 1:20:14
  And we've talked about Ohio State.
• 1:20:16
  That's the back up for Georgia. Yes.
• 1:20:18
  It was the starter. Yeah.
• 1:20:22
  And and one of the main reasons why he left and he went into the
• 1:20:25
  portal is because he believed that George wasn't giving him.
• 1:20:28
  The better opportunity or giving them the opportunity.
• 1:20:30
  You sure it wasn't his girlfriend in the money, I don't
• 1:20:33
  think so. I think it had a lot to do with
• 1:20:34
  the way Georgia was treating him, and he thought that he
• 1:20:38
  should have had a chance to be the number one guy and and I
• 1:20:41
  think they were looking past him.
• 1:20:42
  They they saw other guys in. And, and guys, that they were
• 1:20:46
  recruiting over the last two or three years, that they felt were
• 1:20:50
  better options than him and, and cost him back made the better
• 1:20:53
  choice going to Miami, because he has a chance to prove himself
• 1:20:56
  if Miami knocks off, Ohio State. And like I said, look at the
• 1:20:59
  talent. Ohio state has their Jeremiah
• 1:21:01
  Smith is going to be a top three pick next year.
• 1:21:03
  I don't think there's an argument to that and you look at
• 1:21:06
  that class next year, with the quarterbacks and game changing
• 1:21:09
  players that are going to be next year's draft class.
• 1:21:11
  Jeremiah Smith might be the biggest game changer out of all
• 1:21:14
  of them and he's gonna go into the top three.
• 1:21:16
  And when you look at Ohio State, they've got they probably got
• 1:21:20
  six guys on the offensive side of the ball, that probably gonna
• 1:21:24
  be first round Talent this year on the Deep South defensive side
• 1:21:27
  of the ball. Might have six or seven guys
• 1:21:30
  that are good to go in the top two rounds of the year's draft,
• 1:21:33
  the first first round at second round could be 13.
• 1:21:37
  Guys, from all the Ohio State Buckeyes, think about it.
• 1:21:40
  Think about how crazy that is. You have 13.
• 1:21:43
  Maybe 14 guys that could go in the first two rounds of the NFL
• 1:21:48
  draft. Well, that's interesting.
• 1:21:50
  But what's the most guys that have been drafted LSU in 2020?
• 1:21:54
  It was like 16 players. I remember that too, guys.
• 1:21:57
  Yeah, they had it wasn't even chasing that draft.
• 1:22:00
  Either Chase, only couldn't declare because he sat down
• 1:22:03
  right. Borough was the first pick.
• 1:22:05
  They had Clyde Edwards to layer. They had a couple offensive
• 1:22:07
  lineman. They had a lot of a lot of that
• 1:22:09
  defense to a lot of their Edge rushers went in early.
• 1:22:11
  Not a lot of them have been amazing in that draft Jefferson
• 1:22:14
  obviously too has been amazing and obviously burrow but they
• 1:22:18
  it's 15 or 16 total players that would that shouted, the previous
• 1:22:22
  record I think was 11 and when I've read is that, that
• 1:22:25
  prediction is, is that there could be 13, guys, out of this
• 1:22:28
  class. That could go.
• 1:22:29
  What is this? What is he saying over here?
• 1:22:31
  Looks like those are the projected first round picks.
• 1:22:33
  Yeah, Downs. Yes, I was in the first round.
• 1:22:36
  Yeah, that's first round. Oh good.
• 1:22:38
  Good job fish. It's six guys that could go in
• 1:22:42
  the first round and they're saying, even on the low end
• 1:22:46
  there there's a leaven. Yeah, on the low end.
• 1:22:48
  I What I've read and I I've spoken to a couple of draft, you
• 1:22:53
  know, gurus. That we know he told me that he
• 1:22:57
  could see 13 to 14 guys. Going in the first two rounds
• 1:23:01
  from the Ohio State Buckeyes, which is ridiculous when you
• 1:23:04
  think about it in this class and and the talent, the amount of
• 1:23:08
  talent. Everybody says this is a week
• 1:23:10
  class, they always say that. And it turns out to be a really,
• 1:23:12
  really dominating class. Every time they tell me, oh,
• 1:23:16
  this is a terrible class, remember the sauce go on her
• 1:23:18
  class. Oh, that was horrible.
• 1:23:20
  Yeah, big blunder. I mean, come on man.
• 1:23:23
  Look how many all Pros came out of that class.
• 1:23:25
  Look at how many guys that are right now going into the Pro
• 1:23:29
  Bowl out of that class. I think there's like five guys.
• 1:23:32
  Is the Pro Bowl kind of one. Is it?
• 1:23:34
  It's weird because in I'm not gonna talk trash because he's
• 1:23:38
  from here but like Luke Gifford got any and they got in a
• 1:23:42
  special teams. But like when you look at like,
• 1:23:44
  What he did to like earn that and obviously they have
• 1:23:48
  different systems that, you know, he's in and he hasn't seen
• 1:23:51
  obviously as much time on the field, but he has really done
• 1:23:55
  anything to special teams. Is different though, because
• 1:23:56
  teams don't, because you could also be a gunner, you could be a
• 1:24:00
  tackler. You could be a Long Snapper.
• 1:24:01
  I mean, we speak to a lot of people that are Gunners in the
• 1:24:04
  NFL that you never even heard of, you never even heard of the
• 1:24:07
  guy. And, oh, by the way, is one of
• 1:24:08
  the top three Gunners in all of the league.
• 1:24:10
  When you look at it statistics and analytics, we tell you that
• 1:24:13
  he is never heard of the guy. I mean, the Jets have a gun
• 1:24:16
  right now. That's it.
• 1:24:17
  A top 10 player in the league. I mean, he might be the only top
• 1:24:22
  10 player that Jets have, and he's a gunner.
• 1:24:25
  I mean, it doesn't. When you think about it, you
• 1:24:28
  don't look at those positions Until you realize how good a
• 1:24:32
  team is when and when they're, when you look at special teams,
• 1:24:34
  the Jets have always had a good special teams, what the team,
• 1:24:39
  but everything else is just been up and down.
• 1:24:41
  Well, you don't, you don't look at special teams to be important
• 1:24:44
  until the playoffs because special teams could win you a
• 1:24:47
  Super Bowl. How many times do we've seen
• 1:24:48
  that? So I it makes a difference when
• 1:24:51
  you have good special teams and good coaching.
• 1:24:53
  So I I look at what you think. Special teams has changed with
• 1:24:57
  the new. Oh my God, it's me.
• 1:25:00
  It's gotten worse. I think it's gotten worse
• 1:25:02
  because to me, let's say you kick the ball and and and
• 1:25:08
  remember the only when you're running you cannot start running
• 1:25:12
  until the ball hits the guy's hands right?
• 1:25:15
  You cannot start running and everybody says well hey they're
• 1:25:20
  still they're still getting down there, still stopping but now
• 1:25:22
  players if they decide not to run, they Radically go to the
• 1:25:26
  35-yard line. Automatically 35 yard line.
• 1:25:29
  They're almost half of the field already.
• 1:25:31
  They're pretty much at the 50 yard line.
• 1:25:34
  They're 15 yards away from the 50-yard line and now with these
• 1:25:37
  kickers, the way they can kick, they could kick 65 70 yards.
• 1:25:41
  All they got to get to is the 50-yard line to get three
• 1:25:44
  points. I mean, isn't this the most 50
• 1:25:48
  plus yard field goals that have been kicked this year?
• 1:25:50
  Most 60 yard field goals. Kicked of all time, including
• 1:25:54
  the NFL record by Cam little with the Jacks.
• 1:25:56
  Ridiculous. These guys in the Bulls are
• 1:25:58
  thinner or they say has more air which has more hop and they're
• 1:26:02
  saying all this stuff, but it's alarming to me when you think
• 1:26:05
  about it, if you don't run and you decide not to run with the
• 1:26:09
  ball and you start at the 35 year old line, you owe, you have
• 1:26:12
  to do is get to the 50 and these guys are going to kick it 665
• 1:26:15
  yards. They're going to kick it.
• 1:26:17
  So all you got to do is get to the 50 yard line, you got a
• 1:26:20
  chance to take three points and does that make the game fun to
• 1:26:23
  watch? I it doesn't.
• 1:26:24
  And that I think a lot of these new changes, these rule changes
• 1:26:28
  have affected the game. Some people, I mean want to see
• 1:26:31
  more often and others if you're a defensive guy and I know
• 1:26:34
  there's a lot of people that love defense.
• 1:26:36
  You wonder does this benefit the defensive side of the ball?
• 1:26:39
  Does it help? What do you Defensive players in
• 1:26:42
  the first round anymore. Think about it.
• 1:26:43
  Why would you draft a defensive player?
• 1:26:46
  When it's become an offensive game, I'm going all offense.
• 1:26:50
  Why do I need to draft defense? Because if you're starting at
• 1:26:54
  the 35 year line, no matter how good your defense is, they're
• 1:26:57
  gonna get three points no matter what.
• 1:26:58
  And look at the, and look at the points, there are more points
• 1:27:02
  being scored. Now than there ever has been
• 1:27:04
  think about it. That one point there was a game
• 1:27:07
  this year, there was like, what? 95 points in a game or something
• 1:27:11
  like that. It's ridiculous Ravens in the
• 1:27:14
  Bills. Basketball game now, 41 to 40.
• 1:27:16
  I mean, there's more points. Just we just saw the Niners game
• 1:27:19
  yesterday too. Well, I don't know.
• 1:27:21
  The analytics, I'm sure. She's looking it up right now.
• 1:27:23
  There's a, I would probably bet you.
• 1:27:26
  There were more points scored this year than there was last
• 1:27:31
  year. I'm willing to predict it.
• 1:27:33
  A lot of the good offenses are really good and I think that's
• 1:27:36
  why you see a lot more of those shootings were scoring.
• 1:27:39
  Yeah. The Giants got 34 seconds going
• 1:27:43
  for crap, because they have no elevators and the Raiders, but
• 1:27:46
  everybody else we're putting a points.
• 1:27:48
  I mean, honestly, it's alarming when you see the games in the
• 1:27:52
  rules because the rules bold, well for the offense.
• 1:27:54
  So to me, look at the look at the Buckeyes.
• 1:27:57
  Look at all the good teams right now.
• 1:27:59
  In the nation, all the top defensive players that are
• 1:28:02
  coming out of this class. Are you drafting defense in the
• 1:28:04
  first and the top 10, are you drafting all offense?
• 1:28:07
  I if I'm a GM, I'm going all offense because those are the
• 1:28:12
  guys that are are going to bold well with the new rules of the
• 1:28:14
  NFL, I am right or wrong speed. Yeah, those are the ones that
• 1:28:17
  are going to officially with the versatility.
• 1:28:20
  Now you see with offense and I think that's why you have a lot
• 1:28:22
  of these receivers that are going to go early and the draft
• 1:28:24
  too even tight ends like you sing with those prospects, like,
• 1:28:27
  Brock Bowers like Tyler, and they can play all over the place
• 1:28:29
  too. I want to get into the Alabama
• 1:28:31
  game because Everybody even though Indiana is the favorite
• 1:28:36
  to win the game. A lot of people think this is
• 1:28:39
  going to be one of those games that's going to be an upset
• 1:28:41
  Alabama, that's squeezed and B Oklahoma to Oklahoma, as they
• 1:28:49
  call them. Lincoln, Riley who practically
• 1:28:51
  built that that program, and then went over there to USC and
• 1:28:54
  we don't hear him much about USC football anymore.
• 1:28:57
  Except some of the players that come out of the offensive Talent
• 1:29:00
  come out of there. They have a wife receiver coming
• 1:29:02
  out of that. At that team this year, that
• 1:29:04
  could be a late first round draft pick.
• 1:29:06
  Nonetheless, I I look at this game.
• 1:29:11
  And if Indiana don't play. Early top end defense against
• 1:29:16
  this Alabama. Crimson Tide this game could get
• 1:29:20
  out of hand early in the game. Mendoza's going to get a lot of
• 1:29:22
  pressure on him and Alabama is not.
• 1:29:24
  This might be the first year that I can say.
• 1:29:27
  In Alabama, is always known for their defense.
• 1:29:29
  I would say. They're not what everybody
• 1:29:32
  thinks they are defensively, they have a good, they haven't
• 1:29:35
  got a bunch of good defensive players, but they've been up and
• 1:29:38
  down all season long. They've been.
• 1:29:39
  They've lost games that their defense, just didn't show up to.
• 1:29:43
  We've never seen a nickname defense do that.
• 1:29:46
  Now, even when they Nick Saban defense is lost, they were in
• 1:29:50
  the game and they played top 10 defense the games that they lost
• 1:29:53
  and in their games that they won this year, they did was just
• 1:29:56
  didn't show up. It was their offense and I think
• 1:30:00
  they have one of the best running games right now in the
• 1:30:02
  nation. And they're offensive Line's
• 1:30:04
  always Elite and you can see what they're doing and and they
• 1:30:07
  have one of the best offensive Mindy coaches in all of college
• 1:30:10
  football, Speedy. Oh yeah, they definitely do.
• 1:30:12
  And you look at Alabama reput Nation in the past, has never
• 1:30:15
  been that type of defensive idea or offensive identity.
• 1:30:18
  This level and I think risks receiving core is very
• 1:30:22
  fascinating in this game against any entity that is very good.
• 1:30:24
  Like, they've been underestimated for a while.
• 1:30:27
  They built it up and they were always known for their running
• 1:30:29
  game in the past with their defense.
• 1:30:30
  But not to this level and Alabama is an interesting wild
• 1:30:34
  cards. I could Factor any of this.
• 1:30:35
  One of the guys that have been on our show in the past was a
• 1:30:37
  transfer over there and CG Dupree at tight end.
• 1:30:39
  Who's been good offensive line. It's gonna have a couple first
• 1:30:41
  round picks as well, and a ride receiver, and Ryan Williams that
• 1:30:45
  is really polarizing for Alabama because he burst on the scene
• 1:30:48
  last year as a 17 year old against Georgia in that game.
• 1:30:52
  That West was actually at and he was looking like one of the best
• 1:30:55
  receivers in college football for a while and then all of a
• 1:30:58
  sudden he's dropped off in recent years.
• 1:30:59
  Made some voted drops and stuff like that but now we started to
• 1:31:01
  play well again and he just up and down.
• 1:31:03
  So it's nothing to tell with that.
• 1:31:05
  I'm curious to see with the bye weeks, how that's gonna Factor
• 1:31:08
  along? I mean, think about it, in
• 1:31:11
  Indiana, right, kills momentum, right last year you saw Last
• 1:31:15
  year you saw now. They've changed the structure a
• 1:31:17
  little bit because obviously they don't have the Boise State
• 1:31:20
  being the three seed in Arizona, State being the four-seat
• 1:31:22
  scenarios like you did last year where those teams were the
• 1:31:24
  conference champions, you know, they were radius high.
• 1:31:27
  They still have the top four conference Champion.
• 1:31:29
  Still being those teams even though Ohio State lost their
• 1:31:31
  conference Championship. But nevertheless, you're dealing
• 1:31:34
  with a situation that's still a team, like, Indiana.
• 1:31:36
  That doesn't have as much experience could be unprepared
• 1:31:38
  for. And that's why I was saying last
• 1:31:39
  week, Kirk cignetti, it's interesting with him because he
• 1:31:42
  has a lot of experience with JMU, but the FCS games happen
• 1:31:46
  early or so, they don't have this as long of a break in order
• 1:31:49
  to do that. So I'm curious how prepared he
• 1:31:50
  will be and who the game planning Advantage will go to at
• 1:31:53
  that point because Kayla Nabors experienced coach a little bit
• 1:31:56
  very experienced, any he's played in the national
• 1:31:59
  championship, know with Washington with two great
• 1:32:02
  players in Michael panics and and and obviously the talent
• 1:32:07
  that they had over there. Oh, dude, say Roma Dune.
• 1:32:10
  Say you see what he's doing, Chicago?
• 1:32:11
  How about Tyson versus Fernando Mendoza?
• 1:32:14
  Are two guys that are gonna go into the first round and Ty
• 1:32:18
  Simpson. A lot of people questioning some
• 1:32:20
  people think he could fall out of the top 10 and might be a
• 1:32:24
  teens type of draft pick. That's what they're saying.
• 1:32:26
  I'm reading that there might be my fourth 17 or 16, unless
• 1:32:31
  somebody trades up for him. It's crazy to think that way
• 1:32:33
  when everybody was saying that it Simpson and Fernando, and
• 1:32:38
  those are the two quarterbacks that everybody was talking about
• 1:32:39
  maybe fighting for that number one spot early in the season.
• 1:32:42
  Yeah, I was curious on it because he is somebody that sat
• 1:32:46
  for a while at Alabama could have transferred even in 2023,
• 1:32:50
  he was there when Bryce, young was still there as a freshman
• 1:32:53
  and he sat there, he stayed committed to the program skate,
• 1:32:56
  to the coaching change, when Nick Saban retired, I guess
• 1:32:59
  maybe it was something that was he was told because it was
• 1:33:00
  inevitable. And now he's getting his chance
• 1:33:04
  to play finally, they had Jayla milroe there.
• 1:33:06
  The last two years to Jalen Melrose was kind of an up and
• 1:33:08
  down faster. The pan type quarterback was
• 1:33:10
  mostly good so they never, they never took him out.
• 1:33:12
  They never had any need to take him out.
• 1:33:14
  They made the playoffs in 2023 and that controversial year
• 1:33:16
  where I don't know if they should have gotten over.
• 1:33:18
  Florida State ties like the prototypical quarterback that
• 1:33:20
  everybody looks at. He's a mobile quarterback that
• 1:33:23
  can throw on the Run. He makes his throws on a run.
• 1:33:25
  Man goes, is that he's not flashy.
• 1:33:28
  He's a guy that stands in the pocket.
• 1:33:29
  He's gonna step into the pocket, he's gonna let the ball go and
• 1:33:32
  he's very accurate. He's one of the more accurate
• 1:33:34
  quarterback. So to me, when you look at the
• 1:33:37
  contest here of two quarterbacks and it's a tale of two tapes,
• 1:33:41
  and you look at Indiana to me, Indiana has been the best team
• 1:33:45
  throughout the country all season long, but if you look at
• 1:33:48
  the teams that they've been, they've only beaten three really
• 1:33:50
  good teams, Indiana didn't really beat Elite teams all
• 1:33:54
  season long, it was set up for them to go undefeated into this
• 1:33:58
  this tournament. Now, the question I want to
• 1:34:00
  bring fish him because I talked about offensive lines and I for
• 1:34:05
  years, Alabama has been so dominant when they what the way
• 1:34:10
  they recruit players and this might be an important important
• 1:34:15
  year to watch how good Alabama's offensive line is gonna hold up
• 1:34:19
  for the for them against Indiana team.
• 1:34:22
  The to me, the Hoosiers have been a very good defensive team
• 1:34:27
  this year. Very very good.
• 1:34:28
  And the way Alabama's offensive line has played in second half
• 1:34:32
  of the season has been very, very good.
• 1:34:35
  And I that's to me, it's been known.
• 1:34:37
  Everybody knows what Alabama could do.
• 1:34:39
  If you have an offensive line that can beat you on the
• 1:34:42
  trenches, no matter how good your defense is, they could shut
• 1:34:45
  you down and there's always going to be changes.
• 1:34:48
  Do you think they made changes the right way for the playoff or
• 1:34:54
  do you think that there's better ways that they can do it as far
• 1:34:58
  as like, using some old methods mixed with the new?
• 1:35:02
  Methods to make it. Well, the only way to do it
• 1:35:04
  without using the bi-week Java, just on the number of teams, if
• 1:35:07
  they were expanded to 16. But again, they try to think,
• 1:35:10
  well, too long. Yeah.
• 1:35:11
  Wait, too long. Why, why are we waiting till?
• 1:35:14
  I don't know. New Year's Day.
• 1:35:16
  A New Year's Eve to watch Indiana play.
• 1:35:18
  Indiana hasn't played in three weeks.
• 1:35:20
  You're gonna tell me at this point, as a coach fish.
• 1:35:24
  Do you, do you want that consistency?
• 1:35:26
  And not that long. Like, obviously the long layoff.
• 1:35:29
  Maybe you can get some guys healthy or But do you want to
• 1:35:32
  take the momentum into it or do you take that extra time or how
• 1:35:37
  to like how do you look at it from your perspective?
• 1:35:40
  So two things, let me start with your question.
• 1:35:42
  First job at the momentum thing. If you listen to the analytics
• 1:35:46
  gurus, there's no such thing as momentum.
• 1:35:48
  I think anyone has ever played a sport competitively knows?
• 1:35:51
  That's not true. Maybe we don't know how to
• 1:35:53
  quantify it today but it's a real thing, right?
• 1:35:56
  It's a real thing. And when you have, you know,
• 1:35:59
  everyone's in Rhythm, you know, you have, for example, like Ohio
• 1:36:02
  State saying he's this freshman quarterback but he was hitting
• 1:36:06
  past is like 80% clip because they're in this Rhythm it's
• 1:36:10
  really hard to create getting hit.
• 1:36:14
  When you're not playing a real game.
• 1:36:16
  So it ends up becoming, how well do you practice during those
• 1:36:20
  weeks and how physical are you during those practices at the
• 1:36:25
  same time trying to stay healthy but at the same time, trying to
• 1:36:28
  make sure that we're getting good enough looks already.
• 1:36:31
  How do you do that as a coach to try?
• 1:36:33
  I I'll tell you what I did. This is a problem.
• 1:36:36
  We have at high school kids on long road trips.
• 1:36:38
  So we hit a game up in Binghamton areas, like a two and
• 1:36:41
  a half hour drive. We've seen somebody on a long
• 1:36:44
  road trip and they were just going at it before the game, and
• 1:36:48
  I'm looking across the field, I'm like they're lineman are
• 1:36:51
  bigger than ours. That's a problem.
• 1:36:53
  And I just look at my other coach.
• 1:36:54
  I'm like, just get out the boards.
• 1:36:55
  Let's go board drills. We're just gonna go live for the
• 1:36:58
  next 10 minutes. One-on-one, you push me back,
• 1:37:01
  sumo wrestling just literally get the physicality going
• 1:37:05
  because if you don't wake up, we're going to be down, 28
• 1:37:08
  nothing before we blink, because we're coming out.
• 1:37:11
  So flat and coming out. That is the is the killer of
• 1:37:15
  every team, you know, you that's when in like the coach, you
• 1:37:18
  know, at the end of the game like, oh, you know, we may have
• 1:37:20
  got that screw it on that pass interference.
• 1:37:22
  But we came out flat in the first quarter and that's why we
• 1:37:25
  lost this game. It wasn't one call by the
• 1:37:27
  officials because we came out flat and it's the thing that you
• 1:37:30
  don't even know. Some teams they need to be like
• 1:37:33
  really amped up. Like you've been on different
• 1:37:35
  teams job where like there's a lot of raw raw guys in the
• 1:37:38
  locker room in some situations and some situations like it's
• 1:37:41
  eerily quiet when guys are locked in.
• 1:37:43
  So sometimes you just it's like just the vibe of the team and
• 1:37:47
  it's hard to say. And I think a lot of it's the
• 1:37:50
  vibe of the coach and can the coach keep them especially at
• 1:37:53
  this stage of the game locked in and focused and like physically
• 1:37:58
  locked in. It's not just knowing your plays
• 1:38:00
  at this level. It's being ready to play and hit
• 1:38:03
  like Collision style, like think about like guys like Kyle
• 1:38:08
  Hamilton when he played in college.
• 1:38:09
  He was this unbelievable. Safety it, he was an
• 1:38:13
  unbelievable athlete in the college game.
• 1:38:15
  He just was going Sidelines to Sidelines and no one else could
• 1:38:18
  do what he did. And you see guys like that.
• 1:38:21
  And you're like, He doesn't need to be playing a lot of reps.
• 1:38:25
  That guy can get a couple of weeks off.
• 1:38:26
  Give me that guy ready. Maybe he's like a play.
• 1:38:30
  He's slow for a player, two, he'll be fine.
• 1:38:32
  I'd rather him be healthy. So, I want to make sure of that
• 1:38:36
  gun going in. I'm really happy to get the buy,
• 1:38:38
  but then there's other teams where it's like, you know?
• 1:38:41
  If this guy doesn't play every week, he's kind of crap.
• 1:38:44
  You know he kind of gets into bad habits offensive.
• 1:38:47
  Lineman this is a real critical thing like guys don't aren't
• 1:38:50
  consistent with their hands. It's not just hand placement.
• 1:38:54
  It's you know how your handling guys going inside move on you to
• 1:38:59
  outside. Move it if you keep getting
• 1:39:00
  caught by something, well obviously they're doing it for a
• 1:39:03
  reason to you. You need to figure out why
• 1:39:05
  you're getting beat on something, but if you can't
• 1:39:09
  figure it out, you you just suck for that game.
• 1:39:11
  So, there's like a whole bunch of like, you need to know your
• 1:39:14
  players and as a coach, you need to figure out who needs, what
• 1:39:18
  kind of coaching in these two weeks that you're off.
• 1:39:21
  I I personally would rather have the bye week than not to get my
• 1:39:25
  guys healthy and trust that I can coach them up.
• 1:39:27
  I'm not waiting ready for the game.
• 1:39:29
  I'm not waiting three weeks if I'm in Indiana, I worked my ass
• 1:39:32
  off all year round stuff and I gotta wait three weeks to get my
• 1:39:37
  quarterfinal game going and I'm playing, I'm not matched up
• 1:39:40
  against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
• 1:39:44
  Team that has been national champions obviously Deborah is
• 1:39:47
  not Nick Saban, but the way they recruit player, as they have a
• 1:39:51
  tremendous amount of talent over there on their roster and your
• 1:39:55
  matched up against Ty, Simpson to me, was a Heisman Trophy
• 1:39:58
  candidate all season long until really last five games of six
• 1:40:02
  games of the Season, where he fell off and he hasn't really
• 1:40:05
  been the same player. But you see an opportunity when
• 1:40:09
  you're when you're, when you're recruiting a player or you're an
• 1:40:13
  NFL scout and you're looking at players that you think will fit
• 1:40:17
  that NFL culture. You're not looking at Mendoza
• 1:40:20
  anymore, you're looking at that Tyson because his Mobility is
• 1:40:25
  ability to move out of the pocket and and run and throw and
• 1:40:29
  his his ability to do things and escape from problems outside of
• 1:40:33
  the pocket. That's what you look at.
• 1:40:35
  And that's where I think that this game could go to Alamo
• 1:40:38
  aside if I could get out of the pocket and do the things that
• 1:40:42
  he's good at, and Make Indiana fall out of discomfort of the
• 1:40:47
  positioning on the defensive side of the ball.
• 1:40:50
  I think he's going to make it a long long day for that, Indiana
• 1:40:53
  defense. And I I think it's going to be a
• 1:40:56
  problem for Indiana. So to comment on what you asked
• 1:41:00
  me before, about the offensive line, I think this game
• 1:41:02
  specifically is an offensive line game.
• 1:41:04
  Yep. Now Alabama's probably gonna
• 1:41:06
  have a slight advantage in the offensive line. 100% thank you
• 1:41:10
  100% but it's not all Talent, right?
• 1:41:13
  It's got to be more like how they functionally handle?
• 1:41:16
  Blitzes the how good their scheme is and how well they can
• 1:41:19
  execute their scheme, getting combo blocks up to the second
• 1:41:22
  level and so on and so forth. Like all those little like those
• 1:41:25
  like buzzwords, you hear coaches say but what we're really
• 1:41:28
  talking about is even if they're a little bit better. it doesn't,
• 1:41:33
  it's it's like You can get a slight Advantage from it.
• 1:41:36
  Only when it's like a massacre of like how much better than the
• 1:41:40
  game is over. But at this level we already saw
• 1:41:43
  them. Hang with Ohio State.
• 1:41:45
  We already saw them beat Ohio State, hang with them
• 1:41:49
  physically. They're going to be able to
• 1:41:51
  wait. They didn't have to wait three.
• 1:41:55
  Weeks. Alabama, right.
• 1:41:57
  You're right. But Alabama's got to wait three
• 1:41:59
  weeks for them too. And I think the thing that you
• 1:42:01
  have to Alabama have to wait two weeks, right?
• 1:42:03
  Significantly they played Friday, they played last Friday.
• 1:42:06
  Yeah, well, okay, well, regardless sign that he's not
• 1:42:11
  sitting around doing nothing. You gotta remember this guy I
• 1:42:14
  know it's the first ever back to back coach of the year, right?
• 1:42:17
  The thing that I really like I met the guys there.
• 1:42:19
  I'm at these they're Blitz packages that they do.
• 1:42:21
  They're kind of a little bit more creative than what a lot of
• 1:42:26
  teams face. So, Alabama is going to be
• 1:42:28
  tested. It's not the talent of the
• 1:42:30
  player that's going to be tested.
• 1:42:31
  It's going to be the town of the ski.
• 1:42:33
  You know what's interesting of what they're doing?
• 1:42:35
  You say that though too? And you brought up something and
• 1:42:38
  like the coaches, obviously not staying stagnant or whatever.
• 1:42:41
  So do you think to this is almost as much as it is on the
• 1:42:45
  field. Do you think it's it's the game
• 1:42:47
  of the coaches and how they prepare them with that weight.
• 1:42:50
  That is obviously will never see and you can't really quantify
• 1:42:54
  that but how you know you have your skin You have your
• 1:42:58
  packages, you have all that, but where they keep them prepared,
• 1:43:02
  not only physically, but mentally to know what, that
• 1:43:05
  weight get guys healthy, where it's kind of a chess match
• 1:43:08
  between the coaches to see if somebody does come out flat, or
• 1:43:12
  if they don't, and who was better prepared and here in that
• 1:43:16
  place of what it is, here's what I will say from that.
• 1:43:18
  And I I'm sorry cut in but because I, I know everybody
• 1:43:22
  looks at the coaching and the coaching means a lot in college
• 1:43:25
  football, but to me, the, the cream always Rises to the top
• 1:43:30
  and I believe with these games, no matter how good the coaching
• 1:43:36
  is the players have to show up in the game and make the plays.
• 1:43:39
  It's not the coaches, the coaches will try to put you in
• 1:43:42
  the right position to succeed. It's to me it's it's those guys.
• 1:43:46
  Are they going to show up in the game and do the things that they
• 1:43:49
  need to do to come out the winner?
• 1:43:51
  And I just look at this game and I look at Alabama and I look at
• 1:43:54
  it a team like Indiana's. Never In a position like this
• 1:43:58
  before. Alabama has, they're always
• 1:44:01
  there every year, they're there. And that's why everybody thinks
• 1:44:05
  that this could be an upset Alabama is going to knock off
• 1:44:07
  the Hoosiers because the Hoosiers and never there though.
• 1:44:11
  This is the first time the Hoosiers have been a number one
• 1:44:13
  seed first time ever. But when it comes to college
• 1:44:17
  football they've ever been a number one seed and they have
• 1:44:20
  the Heisman Trophy winner that everybody thinks is just gonna
• 1:44:24
  rise right off to the Sunset and win a National Championship.
• 1:44:27
  I like Mentos, I think he's special but one player doesn't
• 1:44:31
  win championships. I've said this about Tom Brady,
• 1:44:33
  everybody could say whatever they want.
• 1:44:35
  Tom this Tom that Tom Brady if you look at his success rate in
• 1:44:39
  the Super Bowl Tom Brady some of his best games were his losing
• 1:44:43
  games seriously that and that's just a facts factor.
• 1:44:48
  Look at Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes was a great in the Super
• 1:44:52
  Bowls and but he went but they always win the MVP while because
• 1:44:55
  he's the quarterback. And I look at this.
• 1:44:57
  The same way, everybody's looking at the quarterback play,
• 1:45:00
  Ty Simpson versus Fernando Mendoza, whoever comes out and
• 1:45:05
  plays better is gonna win wrong again.
• 1:45:07
  I do believe this, you're absolutely right.
• 1:45:09
  I think this is the Battle of the offensive line, whoever
• 1:45:13
  plays better on the offensive line, you're going to see early
• 1:45:16
  that team is going to win and I just think both teams have great
• 1:45:21
  offensive lines Alabama just think.
• 1:45:24
  To me, always have the elite of elite and Deborah to me, one of
• 1:45:30
  the best offensive Minds in college football.
• 1:45:32
  You can say top three, who's the kid who's got from Texas?
• 1:45:36
  He's sarkisian, they say, is the best.
• 1:45:38
  They say, he's the best. Offensive Mining College
• 1:45:41
  football right now and they believe will be an NFL coach
• 1:45:44
  again, one way or another. Hey he's right right on to him
• 1:45:48
  and significant. I think he's great coach and he
• 1:45:52
  great, it's great that he wants coach of the year, who cares?
• 1:45:55
  It's all about winning national championships.
• 1:45:58
  Have never cared about here. You're like, you're like writing
• 1:46:02
  him off before. I'm not the guy.
• 1:46:07
  I understand what type of person he is.
• 1:46:10
  You do when he walked in the room, all the meat Mendoza was
• 1:46:14
  over there when when he walked into the room, the cameras were
• 1:46:18
  off, man, dose. So the way he controls, he
• 1:46:23
  strike, you kind of like Like a football version of Calipari.
• 1:46:26
  You're watching that you want me to, you want me to tell you who
• 1:46:29
  he reminds me of. And it's, it's crazy to say why
• 1:46:33
  I believe Bill Parcells He went up there and the first thing he
• 1:46:38
  said to his team when he went up there with him screaming, when
• 1:46:41
  he walked off the stage, very simple guys, enjoy this.
• 1:46:45
  Because when it comes to Monday, we're not having fun anymore.
• 1:46:49
  It's time to practice, right? That was the first thing.
• 1:46:52
  He said before, he even spoke to the media, So like, that's why I
• 1:46:57
  think they're gonna win. And I just want to say I I do
• 1:46:59
  believe Alabama has got a better line, but I don't believe they
• 1:47:03
  have a better Coach. I think this guy might be
• 1:47:06
  special. I think he's waited a very long
• 1:47:09
  time to get to this point and what he's done and trying to get
• 1:47:13
  them locked in to play this game.
• 1:47:15
  Look, you brought up Nick Saban and to answer your question
• 1:47:18
  Joba, you know Nick Saban put his players in a position to be
• 1:47:23
  successful but he always wanted to have an advantage
• 1:47:26
  athletically. So he out recruited everybody
• 1:47:28
  and did things probably under the table, to make sure that he
• 1:47:31
  did that was his game. And when he had the advantage,
• 1:47:33
  she'd exploit you, but if he didn't have the advantage, like
• 1:47:35
  he didn't in a lot of those Georgia games, it becomes
• 1:47:38
  physically, those two teams were even for years and eventually, I
• 1:47:42
  think George's surpassed them a little bit.
• 1:47:43
  But how are you physically wise, right?
• 1:47:47
  But for the longest time, they were very even.
• 1:47:49
  So what happened in those games, you kind of have to out scheme
• 1:47:51
  people, you have to have the teams that don't make all the
• 1:47:54
  penalties, you have to have The team that doesn't crumble, when
• 1:47:58
  the big play comes in, you have to have the guts to go to a guy,
• 1:48:02
  you've only seen, do it in practice into a tagovailoa and
• 1:48:06
  when it's been jail and hurts, his team all along and win the
• 1:48:10
  national championship with a freshman, like that's type of
• 1:48:13
  just 25 Ohio state that we're with three different
• 1:48:15
  quarterbacks, right? Well, but the thing is, like
• 1:48:18
  those guys, those were great coaches, that understood their
• 1:48:21
  teams and it's stuff that you can't see.
• 1:48:23
  During the week, you can't see it because it's something that's
• 1:48:27
  behind closed doors. And it's kind of like I'm better
• 1:48:30
  that say I'm betting on the guy that's done it before.
• 1:48:32
  And I I again I want to see Mendoza God.
• 1:48:36
  I want to see in Diana, shocked the world and do it and face off
• 1:48:40
  next week. What is the board done
• 1:48:42
  organization or hasn't won anything?
• 1:48:44
  Yep but to poor person won. The board has been to a national
• 1:48:47
  team. That was a lot was picked by I'm
• 1:48:53
  just saying he has I just think he hasn't won everything.
• 1:48:57
  Just think about this. Out of all the coaches, they
• 1:49:00
  could have picked to take over for Nick Saban's job.
• 1:49:03
  They picked the poor, they could have taken anybody, they took
• 1:49:07
  the boy, anybody would have taken that Alabama.
• 1:49:09
  You can't tell me though. Nick Saban didn't have any say
• 1:49:11
  in that, maybe, maybe probably, but I was the case.
• 1:49:14
  Like, why would like from the farm at devil, sweetie?
• 1:49:17
  I need to save him played against the board.
• 1:49:19
  He knows what it is to play against the bore and a national
• 1:49:22
  championship. So he knows.
• 1:49:24
  And we've seen Saban's. Lineage and what guys have moved
• 1:49:28
  on when they've been under saving.
• 1:49:29
  So you can't tell me that he was like, this is the next dude.
• 1:49:32
  I I will say this and I saved the final game because I think
• 1:49:37
  this is going to be the best game.
• 1:49:38
  I really do. Everybody's looking at me and I
• 1:49:41
  probably think of crazy, but I think Oregon versus Texas Tech
• 1:49:46
  is the best game of the week. I, I really do believe that.
• 1:49:50
  And the odds are the closest, obviously a 2.5.
• 1:49:55
  I and Oregon has a chance. I mean They have more and more a
• 1:50:01
  lot. It's Speedy thinks could be the
• 1:50:02
  best quarterback in his class. That this kid has is
• 1:50:07
  unbelievable. The speed the ability, the
• 1:50:10
  agility that this kid has stepping outside of the pocket,
• 1:50:13
  making froze, great arm everything but he cannot start.
• 1:50:18
  Early in his NFL career, as the number one guy, he would be the
• 1:50:22
  number two. He's gonna have to sit and ride
• 1:50:24
  the bench for at least a half a year to understand how to the
• 1:50:27
  speed of the game works for him. If he goes to a team that's
• 1:50:30
  going to start him, he's gonna fail.
• 1:50:31
  But this is such an interesting game because Texas Tech is one
• 1:50:35
  of the best defensive teams in the country.
• 1:50:37
  And organ is always one of the best offensive teams in a
• 1:50:40
  country and Danny Lanning. How do you not like this guy?
• 1:50:45
  You want to tell. Everybody knows he's my favorite
• 1:50:48
  coach. He's my favorite guy.
• 1:50:50
  I want to get Donnie landing on this show because I I would have
• 1:50:52
  a lot of fun with the guy, his personality.
• 1:50:55
  He's his Edge to his anybody. Go and check out his locker room
• 1:50:59
  is speeches. They're hilarious.
• 1:51:01
  He doesn't, he doesn't hold anything back from his players
• 1:51:05
  to the media to anybody. He is the prototypical person
• 1:51:09
  you want as your head coach, and to go into this game.
• 1:51:13
  I would love to be in that locker room before they came in
• 1:51:16
  here. His pitch to his team.
• 1:51:18
  Oh, we got a chance to play in Indiana, we can knock off the
• 1:51:23
  the number ones, here we go. All the way guys, we got all the
• 1:51:27
  way. So I just, I look at this game
• 1:51:29
  and there's so many things that could happen in this game, and I
• 1:51:33
  think whoever wins this game, whoever their matched up against
• 1:51:37
  Indiana. I wouldn't be surprised if they
• 1:51:40
  win and not go off. Alabama.
• 1:51:44
  Or Indiana. I really do believe it because
• 1:51:46
  that that's who they would match up against, right?
• 1:51:48
  I think organ or Texas Tech cannot go off any of these guys
• 1:51:54
  Alabama and Indiana just because Texas Tech has proven this year
• 1:51:57
  that they could stop anybody defensively, stop, anybody.
• 1:52:00
  It doesn't matter who it is. What quarterback is, What
• 1:52:02
  offense, what coach I've seen this team run through people.
• 1:52:05
  They just don't score a lot and, and that's always been the
• 1:52:09
  problem all season long, but they can run the ball and
• 1:52:11
  running in defense is all about winning championships.
• 1:52:15
  You ask any great coach go? Ask Alan Nick Saban.
• 1:52:18
  Why did they dominate so many years?
• 1:52:21
  Is because they always had the best running game and they
• 1:52:23
  always had the best defense and they dominate the line of
• 1:52:26
  scrimmage because they have a great offensive line.
• 1:52:28
  Texas Tech has all of that and Oregon they have the lightning
• 1:52:32
  switch, they got the coach and they got the quarterback and
• 1:52:36
  honestly could be the best quarterback Speedy in all all of
• 1:52:40
  this tournament. If he shows up and plays At the
• 1:52:44
  top of his game, Oregon also has a chip on their shoulder too.
• 1:52:46
  Because of what happened to them last year.
• 1:52:48
  They were the number one overall seed.
• 1:52:49
  They got smoked by Ohio State badly in that second round
• 1:52:53
  matchup. And they know that they can't
• 1:52:55
  just play Just talent-driven based on that.
• 1:52:58
  And while we were talking about last week, Dan Lanning saying
• 1:53:00
  that he was not impressed with their performance in the second
• 1:53:02
  half, too. He loved that.
• 1:53:03
  But he knows that kind of thing to be true.
• 1:53:05
  They just can't Coast on Talent. Just even against a team, like
• 1:53:08
  JMU that has a good reputation of winning FCS championships.
• 1:53:12
  They dominated the game but still they should dominate that
• 1:53:15
  game in Oregon talent wise coming into the year, was
• 1:53:17
  thought of as, probably a top seven, how many ducks have we
• 1:53:20
  had on this show? In the last 10 years, speedy
• 1:53:22
  three, I believe, three dogs and how many ducks will Coach by Dan
• 1:53:27
  Lanning. Two And what did they say about
• 1:53:30
  Landing? He is the coach at everyone.
• 1:53:32
  All the players want to Rally around because of the he he's
• 1:53:35
  kind of like he comes off as kind of loose on the field but
• 1:53:38
  in the like you said in the like press conferences in the team
• 1:53:42
  meetings and stuff, he could be very tough and that's where I
• 1:53:44
  think is makes organ an interesting wild.
• 1:53:47
  Where is Gonzales? Come from what again?
• 1:53:50
  Okay did you hear what Gonzalez said after this game?
• 1:53:53
  After not get off the Jets. When they asked him about the
• 1:53:56
  Oregon game against Texas Tech, did you hear what he died in?
• 1:54:00
  Pretty, it's pretty simple Gonzalez, says, and remember he
• 1:54:04
  is, is it's his alma mater and all that other stuff.
• 1:54:06
  So we all understand this. But he said, if there's any
• 1:54:09
  coach that you can trust in a big game, that's going to rally
• 1:54:13
  the troops and get you to play, no matter how unhealthy or
• 1:54:16
  healthy your team is, it's Dan Lanning.
• 1:54:19
  And and he says that Landing is the best coach.
• 1:54:21
  No, no doubt in this tournament and it's going to find a way to
• 1:54:25
  knock off the exactly and I'm telling you right now and I
• 1:54:28
  think that goes to what fish was talking about how like coaches
• 1:54:32
  have to have that innate ability to understand how you challenge
• 1:54:36
  guys with breaks and whatever and we still have it from
• 1:54:40
  learning from last year. That's right.
• 1:54:41
  I think he has to understand and now he's different team with
• 1:54:44
  five seats. Do you think this is the year,
• 1:54:46
  Speedy, that if we're getting knocked off, Texas Tech, do you
• 1:54:49
  think this is the year that they can surprise and shock people
• 1:54:52
  and go to a national Channel they call it?
• 1:54:54
  I again, I I look at the Alabama and Oklahoma and Indiana
• 1:54:58
  cluster, those three as being Like the the teams to beat
• 1:55:01
  Oregon. Only lost to Indiana though by
• 1:55:03
  10 and that's their only loss of the regular season they have
• 1:55:06
  just as much talent I think. Besides and that was the game
• 1:55:10
  and I'll tell you this. That was the gay men dozen came
• 1:55:13
  out and said that he knew that he had a chance to win the
• 1:55:16
  Heisman Trophy when he beat Orchid.
• 1:55:18
  That was the game. That changed everything because
• 1:55:21
  there were a lot of questions. Oh could I win the Heisman?
• 1:55:23
  He said that when we beat Oregon, we went to Oregon and
• 1:55:27
  bead Oregon, right? That changed everything for us,
• 1:55:29
  everything. And that kind of, that kind of
• 1:55:32
  thing is definitely enticing of what Oregon could be as
• 1:55:35
  potential. Redemption type thing because
• 1:55:37
  again, it's gonna be hard. I mean you can win going
• 1:55:39
  undefeated in college football. He's seen it probably more than
• 1:55:41
  anything just because of the power of the power struggle and
• 1:55:44
  just their having less games as a whole but Oregon was one of
• 1:55:47
  those teams that got victimized by their own success.
• 1:55:49
  Last year getting smoked by Ohio State.
• 1:55:50
  And now you look at a case of Dan Lanning who comes from
• 1:55:53
  Georgia, he was one of the defensive assistants over there.
• 1:55:56
  You have an Oregon team that is offensively sound.
• 1:55:58
  Their defense is good but It's not something you would know for
• 1:56:01
  it. So that makes an interesting
• 1:56:02
  class too like game planning wise on this kind of Defense too
• 1:56:05
  and then Texas Tech on the other side has a defense that's
• 1:56:08
  unbelievable. Especially in that front seven
• 1:56:09
  going up against an offensive line in Oregon.
• 1:56:11
  It's also one of the best too. So you have a lot of good game
• 1:56:13
  planning matchups. There.
• 1:56:14
  What's gonna be an interesting one to bear and Morton Baron
• 1:56:16
  Morton. They're starting quarterback for
• 1:56:17
  Texas Tech deal with the leg injury, how healthy he is and it
• 1:56:22
  goes to what you were asking before.
• 1:56:22
  Java there might want to be one of the teams that benefit off of
• 1:56:26
  the fact that they had to wait because they have more of a
• 1:56:28
  younger coach that can game plan to counter landing and they have
• 1:56:31
  a quarterback that can get healthier as a result, really
• 1:56:34
  good flashes this year. He's just very inconsistent, but
• 1:56:36
  if they can win their defense in a neutral site, he could
• 1:56:40
  definitely be interesting. And if they do advance to the
• 1:56:41
  next round, I will probably wouldn't favor them but it
• 1:56:43
  depend on how they win this game.
• 1:56:44
  I never know what these tournaments, you can't favor.
• 1:56:47
  Anybody that doesn't matter how good Ohio state is or Indiana,
• 1:56:50
  and who they have on their team in their roster.
• 1:56:52
  It's all about it, it's anybody's game, it's one game,
• 1:56:56
  there's no playoff. That's the thing about football.
• 1:56:58
  You play one game if you show. Up that game you win.
• 1:57:01
  You don't show up that game you lose and I and there's any when
• 1:57:04
  when you look at these two teams, if there's a surprise in
• 1:57:08
  this tournament that can go to a national championship, these are
• 1:57:11
  the two teams, Texas Tech and organ because I think working as
• 1:57:15
  far as offensively sound, this is the best offensive team in
• 1:57:18
  the nation. I don't care what anybody says.
• 1:57:20
  You know, it's just saying about that, like how they build is.
• 1:57:23
  He wants to have all the great athletes on offense, so he can
• 1:57:27
  coach up the defense 100. Like really good players on
• 1:57:30
  defense, but he's not. He just wants to out at athlete,
• 1:57:34
  people on offense and he that's what he does.
• 1:57:36
  The problem that Oregon runs into is when they go against
• 1:57:40
  like really athletic, secondaries and they can't get
• 1:57:43
  open like that, Penn State game was real hairy for them.
• 1:57:46
  And that was what, you know, set off that that spiral for James
• 1:57:50
  Franco and get fired. They lose that in double, they
• 1:57:52
  win it and double overtime, and it kind of propels them forwards
• 1:57:56
  or again. But you gotta remember like
• 1:57:58
  they've been in a lot of clothes.
• 1:57:59
  Ones. I don't think they're
• 1:58:01
  necessarily great talented. On the defensive side, I think
• 1:58:04
  they're great coached on the defensive side.
• 1:58:06
  I think they're really talented on offense.
• 1:58:08
  I think they're coached well enough, but I worry that if they
• 1:58:12
  run into a team that's more athletic than them.
• 1:58:15
  Like, we we've talked about earlier in this conversation.
• 1:58:17
  I think they're the squad that and ends up in trouble.
• 1:58:20
  Out of all these other things. I wonder when when the way
• 1:58:24
  everything is set up and the way the committee obviously decides
• 1:58:28
  who gets into these these tournaments the 12 team
• 1:58:31
  tournament to go all the way for a national championship.
• 1:58:34
  When you look at how they're matched up and how they consider
• 1:58:37
  these guys are going to be matched up when they play one
• 1:58:39
  another, if they get out of that round, and they get into the
• 1:58:42
  quarterfinals if they want to see these matchups.
• 1:58:45
  And I believe that when you look at Texas Tech and what they can
• 1:58:50
  do on a football field and again, Alabama did when you look
• 1:58:54
  at Alabama and Indiana, Alabama, and Indiana, never played this
• 1:58:57
  year. They never played against one
• 1:58:58
  another, so they never seen. Each other so but guess what
• 1:59:02
  Indiana and Oregon have seen each other and if they match up
• 1:59:05
  against each other, if Indiana knocks off Alabama, I agree with
• 1:59:10
  you Speedy, the matchup bolds better and it better position
• 1:59:14
  for organ and of organized off Indiana.
• 1:59:17
  That's smooth riding all the way to a national championship and
• 1:59:21
  we're talking about more, could you imagine more who a lot of
• 1:59:25
  people believe is going to be a top five pick?
• 1:59:27
  If he wins the national championship or knocks off
• 1:59:30
  Mendoza? Do you look if you're the
• 1:59:32
  Raiders, you look at, hey, you know what?
• 1:59:34
  Let's bring in more. Let's sit.
• 1:59:36
  Let him ride the bench for, you know, six seven weeks.
• 1:59:39
  And this is the guy that we're gonna ride because we need a, we
• 1:59:42
  need a mobile quarterback because we have no offensive
• 1:59:45
  line, like you said fish. So, and more, is that kind of
• 1:59:48
  guy, so, is Ty Simpson. I stay away from Tyson at number
• 1:59:52
  one, that early, yeah, but more Speedy, you might be right All
• 1:59:56
  Around Talent, what? This guy could do on a football
• 1:59:58
  field offensively? I mean, who's the last guy you
• 2:00:02
  seen that can run and throw like this guy?
• 2:00:05
  There's a lot of Jayden Daniels in his game to me, 100%.
• 2:00:07
  And that's why I think he's still Caleb Williams Kayla
• 2:00:11
  Williams. Yeah, I think, again,
• 2:00:12
  decision-making wise is the only main reason I'm thinking he's
• 2:00:15
  raw. Just because he, this was his
• 2:00:17
  first full year as a starter last year, was kind of
• 2:00:18
  mistreated by Chip Kelly and that UCLA and that led to his
• 2:00:22
  whole debacle of him getting fired this year.
• 2:00:25
  And then I think he stepped out of my state.
• 2:00:27
  But like, and here's the thing and I'm sorry to cut you off.
• 2:00:29
  If if you look at the Raiders and they bring in more, you
• 2:00:32
  fire. And I just say this, I love, I
• 2:00:35
  love their their old codes. I love them.
• 2:00:37
  I I going after Kubiak, I am absolutely hiring Kubiak to be
• 2:00:44
  my head coach and have this guy develop him because you know his
• 2:00:48
  father could be at one. And with the Broncos, this guy
• 2:00:51
  is one of the best offensive Minds the NFL.
• 2:00:54
  Add as an offensive coordinator and head coach go ask.
• 2:00:58
  Peyton Manning Peyton Manning said that, Kubiak is one of the
• 2:01:00
  smartest offensive Minds he's ever worked with.
• 2:01:02
  So think about it that way when you look at Kubiak and his son,
• 2:01:06
  his son worked his way up. All these years, look what he's
• 2:01:10
  done with Seattle and now look what he could do over there with
• 2:01:13
  the Raiders with a Young quarterback with the mobility.
• 2:01:16
  This kid has to get out of trouble.
• 2:01:18
  I think it's, I absolutely do this.
• 2:01:21
  If I'm, if more proves himself in this to ornament to be
• 2:01:24
  important and, and show that he could show up in the big game
• 2:01:27
  and make the plays, I'm absolutely if I'm the Vegas.
• 2:01:30
  Raiders going. After more fish is right, you
• 2:01:32
  have a bit offensive line. You need to, you need to clean
• 2:01:35
  something up. And this guy is a guy that can
• 2:01:37
  clean up a lot of deficiency. You're offensive line, doesn't
• 2:01:40
  give you. Yeah, and that's why I was
• 2:01:42
  mentioning when we talk about the Oregon and jam you game,
• 2:01:44
  that Dante Moore still has a lot of those famous Winston blonders
• 2:01:48
  in his in his game, too, where he had some really bad
• 2:01:51
  interceptions. And that's why I think he really
• 2:01:53
  has to hear to the The coaching right away and whoever does
• 2:01:56
  draft him. Can't start him right away
• 2:01:57
  because of that. I think the Patriot sat Drake
• 2:01:59
  may have up until week six his rookie year and then they played
• 2:02:02
  him that he has more us to sit longer for me.
• 2:02:04
  But I think the reputation wise he does go far in this
• 2:02:07
  tournament if he doesn't end up being some good teams and
• 2:02:10
  playing well against a good team because he'll think is the best
• 2:02:13
  quarterback in 12th All Around Talent.
• 2:02:18
  And I'm gonna ask School, you guys, if you guys follow and
• 2:02:21
  you've been following the end of the college College season, who
• 2:02:24
  do you think is the most, most talented overall quarterback out
• 2:02:28
  of all 12 teams? I would give it to more right
• 2:02:30
  now but I think Saiyan's very close to, I like him a lot.
• 2:02:33
  How about you? Understand most talented all
• 2:02:36
  around towns, All Around Town gonna be the best in the NFL.
• 2:02:39
  I don't know about that because we don't know how they cannot
• 2:02:41
  develop and where they go to. We can look at it like this and
• 2:02:44
  we've seen a lot of great quarterbacks in college football
• 2:02:48
  that haven't done anything in the NFL.
• 2:02:51
  Like so we just taking it as a college football.
• 2:02:54
  Talent of the quarterback. Take a whack at it.
• 2:02:57
  If you look at the All Around Talent at these guys deliver as
• 2:03:00
  quarterback, I got an easy answer to this.
• 2:03:02
  His name is Mendoza, he is. So good at putting the ball
• 2:03:07
  wherever he wants it. It's not just that he hits the
• 2:03:10
  guys that are open. He does the thing that Eli
• 2:03:13
  Manning used to do and it's like he would put it on his left
• 2:03:17
  shoulder, underneath the shoulder pad in the one spot,
• 2:03:20
  that is easy to catch. Like he knows where to put the
• 2:03:23
  ball for different scenarios and he's playing well beyond his
• 2:03:28
  years. With the type of throws that he
• 2:03:29
  makes you don't. See guys making those throws in
• 2:03:32
  college. He just is making professional
• 2:03:35
  throws that are high level. It's it's not like look saying
• 2:03:39
  is doing a great job. He's hitting he had what 78 80%
• 2:03:42
  completion rate. That's not the reason I really
• 2:03:45
  like you miss a throw. That's why I don't I'm not gonna
• 2:03:48
  like it's hard to throw Speedy to top 10.
• 2:03:54
  You know Tate might be a top 10 pick.
• 2:03:56
  I don't think he is but I want to worry about him.
• 2:03:59
  But yeah, right. Well he's got great hands, you
• 2:04:02
  know, like and as far as the quarterback having to sit, I
• 2:04:05
  mean, Brady cook. Wasn't drafted, he's playing for
• 2:04:07
  the Jets right now, you know. It doesn't matter if they're
• 2:04:10
  gonna sit or not at the beginning of the Season, can
• 2:04:12
  they contribute at some point in their first year?
• 2:04:14
  Even if it's not a lot? And that's really, really what
• 2:04:17
  you want to see. I think jaxson Dart, contribute
• 2:04:19
  a little bit in this first year, they weren't going anywhere but
• 2:04:22
  we got to see some flashes. That's all you're looking for.
• 2:04:24
  For some of those project, quarterbacks more.
• 2:04:27
  If I'm the Raiders, I don't take them at one.
• 2:04:31
  I don't think I'm taking a project at one that scares the
• 2:04:34
  crap out of me. Last time they had a first
• 2:04:36
  overall pick Arrow took a project.
• 2:04:39
  It won, his name was JaMarcus Russell.
• 2:04:41
  Hey Kevin all about that and it's the worst you know, draft
• 2:04:46
  pick of all time. Literally it was been Ryan Leaf.
• 2:04:49
  Yes, yes worse. Yeah, it's worse because I think
• 2:04:52
  right? Leaf single season wise might
• 2:04:55
  have had the worst, like waiting had a very bad single season as
• 2:04:58
  a rookie. I mean, how many hit deceptions
• 2:05:00
  did? He throw away here?
• 2:05:01
  He wasn't stopped in the car with the purple drink though.
• 2:05:06
  That's fine. I again I I'm not I don't know
• 2:05:10
  what the Raiders are gonna do and they're obviously going to
• 2:05:12
  fire their head coach because it seems like nobody is buying into
• 2:05:16
  his crap and Geno Smith looks like he's done.
• 2:05:19
  I I if I was a Raiders, I'm bringing in a mobile quarterback
• 2:05:23
  because there's no way if you bring in mandoza that he is
• 2:05:27
  going to survive. No matter who you bring in his
• 2:05:29
  head coach, it's not gonna make any sense and there's not enough
• 2:05:32
  offensive lineman, they're gonna be available they usually aren't
• 2:05:36
  in free agency. So good luck on that and who you
• 2:05:39
  can address, the Raiders don't have a lot of draft stock, they
• 2:05:42
  really don't know. They just have their normal
• 2:05:43
  amount, they just have their normal amount.
• 2:05:45
  It's not like they have, they, the Cowboys are the Jets.
• 2:05:47
  The Jets are overloaded with draft stock overloaded.
• 2:05:50
  So the Jets could sit pretty at three and say, you know what,
• 2:05:53
  we'll draft more. We'll have him sit for you.
• 2:05:55
  They're not doing that. I know they're not enough to one
• 2:05:58
  for Mendoza. I will say the draft stock to do
• 2:06:00
  it. Well, I'm sure we'll talk about
• 2:06:03
  it close to the track. Um, I want to say one thing
• 2:06:05
  about College football and what we've watched so far in college
• 2:06:09
  football and what I think the and job as what do you think
• 2:06:12
  that the NCAA needs to change to make it better?
• 2:06:15
  I, I think that obviously the way they're creating and
• 2:06:19
  recreating it. I I like the 12 team thing.
• 2:06:22
  I, I would bring in more teams, I would cut the season down,
• 2:06:27
  that's what I would do. I wouldn't play as many games in
• 2:06:30
  a regular season and I would make a tournament.
• 2:06:33
  I would say about like March Madness.
• 2:06:35
  I'm not as many teams with March Madness.
• 2:06:37
  Obviously, I was what your number ah, what it was Speedy.
• 2:06:42
  What would be a good number 24? So you want 24.
• 2:06:45
  So that would be six. Different, brackets, six
• 2:06:48
  different, brackets. And you fight for a national
• 2:06:51
  championship, or three brackets at 8?
• 2:06:53
  Yeah. So how many games should have to
• 2:06:55
  play? Because you have to that would
• 2:06:56
  be three, four extra games, right?
• 2:06:58
  Yeah, exactly. How many games he got.
• 2:07:00
  She'd be a lot easier if you did 30 to 616 what happened?
• 2:07:04
  Did it like that? Whatever, whatever.
• 2:07:06
  However, way they want to do it. I did.
• 2:07:09
  The fact is this. I think they should have every,
• 2:07:11
  every conference champion no matter what it is.
• 2:07:15
  They automatically make it, they automatically win and they get
• 2:07:18
  the number one. So if you had like a top 24 yeah
• 2:07:23
  the top eight would get, it would be like the division
• 2:07:25
  Champions and the top teams besides that they get to buy and
• 2:07:29
  then all the other teams they're playing in this like
• 2:07:32
  quarterfinal yes then they move on to face the top eight and
• 2:07:36
  then it goes like that and just like something like that adding
• 2:07:39
  an extra week. Yeah to what they already have I
• 2:07:43
  think it makes more sense to be more fun and it gives these
• 2:07:45
  undercard or these these other teams that you wouldn't expect
• 2:07:49
  to be fighting for a national championship to maybe get, you
• 2:07:53
  know, shocked the world and get into the semis or the quarters
• 2:07:56
  and make a run for that that one, but where goes back to kind
• 2:08:00
  of what we talked about earlier, right?
• 2:08:02
  It's like Some of those buys do help like fish said, it's like,
• 2:08:05
  yeah, I do like those so I can get a guy healthy where now, it
• 2:08:10
  creates that, that momentum Factor kind of what we talked
• 2:08:14
  about that fish is 100%, right? He hit the nail on the head when
• 2:08:18
  he's just like they say you can't do it.
• 2:08:20
  Well you can't do it because you can't quantify that you.
• 2:08:23
  There's no way to measure what that is.
• 2:08:27
  It's like there's a lot of dudes in sports that you look at him
• 2:08:30
  and you're like that's not it. But yet he goes out and shows up
• 2:08:34
  every day, because you can't quantify what's right here.
• 2:08:37
  You can't quantify what's right here.
• 2:08:39
  You just can't do that. So I think I love that dynamic
• 2:08:44
  because now it's like, okay, here we go.
• 2:08:46
  Here we go. Here we go.
• 2:08:47
  And there's certain things about it.
• 2:08:50
  Where like you said you you might get a Cinderella like we
• 2:08:53
  do in March Madness every once in a while where right now it's
• 2:08:57
  we kind of know like there's maybe one or two teams that get
• 2:09:02
  in. Where should other teams have
• 2:09:04
  got in? Yeah, probably, but then that's
• 2:09:08
  where this conversation comes to the head.
• 2:09:11
  It's like, what is that right? Number job.
• 2:09:13
  So it's about recruiting players.
• 2:09:15
  If you make a run to a national championship in, your not a
• 2:09:19
  known commodity, and you're, you have a great coach and that
• 2:09:23
  coach gets a chance to prove himself as a coach maybe gets
• 2:09:26
  one of these high-profile jobs, or it just opens up an
• 2:09:29
  opportunity and Ill Speedy. I told you to reach out to that
• 2:09:32
  organization. Like we're gonna we're gonna
• 2:09:35
  work on going to this nil thing at Indianapolis I think where it
• 2:09:39
  is, but there They're getting all the players the top 250 high
• 2:09:43
  school players that go over there and talk about how the,
• 2:09:46
  how the knee nil money goes and how the portal works.
• 2:09:49
  And I, I still am trying to learn the portal.
• 2:09:52
  So when you look at a tournament like this, it opens up a lot of
• 2:09:56
  different views on how the nil can bring in players from
• 2:10:00
  different parts of the world, or the country and bring in more
• 2:10:04
  money and more opportunity for these schools to get to get to
• 2:10:08
  the top or get an opportunity and make a run for National
• 2:10:11
  Championship. What do you want to expect?
• 2:10:13
  I think it makes a lot of sense. I think it.
• 2:10:14
  It's, it'll be fun. It'll be interesting.
• 2:10:17
  So, we'll see. I think college football and the
• 2:10:21
  way they're bringing in money and I don't like these ball
• 2:10:23
  games. It's just so stupid.
• 2:10:25
  I the what are they called? The atom bomb ball?
• 2:10:27
  They've all been for name the Taco Ball.
• 2:10:30
  I mean, come on some of the Bold names.
• 2:10:33
  Now are just getting out of hand.
• 2:10:34
  I guess the Pop Tarts and then they're like, toasting the
• 2:10:38
  carpal fish. Yeah, I don't care.
• 2:10:42
  The Snoop Dogg, Arizona bull when he was literally doing a
• 2:10:45
  live interview and he caught the kick that.
• 2:10:49
  I mean that's going to go down in history.
• 2:10:52
  All right, ladies and gentlemen. Our golf clap of the day.
• 2:10:59
  Curves. A gulf Clan.
• 2:11:00
  No doubt. Clap Gulf Clan.
• 2:11:05
  Well, ladies and gentlemen, my Golf Club of the day.
• 2:11:07
  Well, hopefully they're not pushing money into the table.
• 2:11:09
  I don't know what they're doing but guess what?
• 2:11:12
  It might be open for conversation.
• 2:11:15
  Kawhi Leonard, ladies and gentlemen, had his career high.
• 2:11:18
  It wasn't with the Spurs. It wasn't with Toronto won.
• 2:11:21
  He won a championship. No, it's with those lonely
• 2:11:25
  Clippers, ladies and gentlemen, 55 points as the Clippers, right
• 2:11:29
  now, aren't a four game winning streak.
• 2:11:31
  And what is that smell? I don't know what it smells, but
• 2:11:33
  I tell you what Kawhi Leonard is showing you why when healthy
• 2:11:38
  this guy is has been one of the best players in all of
• 2:11:41
  basketball. This guy has been the
• 2:11:43
  Cornerstone of winning a championship when he was in
• 2:11:46
  Toronto. And this is a guy that I don't
• 2:11:48
  know if could be a Cornerstone with the Clippers anymore.
• 2:11:50
  Because if his injuries and his knee problems, but absolutely
• 2:11:54
  still has it and maybe at the trade deadline, if the Clippers
• 2:11:57
  do not believe they can make a run this year and they know they
• 2:12:00
  can't get rid of James Harden because the beer man can't To do
• 2:12:05
  anything, right? It makes more steps than baskets
• 2:12:07
  ladies and gentlemen, I would absolutely look at Kawhi Leonard
• 2:12:12
  is a hot ticket for another team and I'm gonna tell you this, the
• 2:12:17
  Knicks have been talking about it for years, they got a player,
• 2:12:19
  an OG, and an Obi, but OG who's never won Kawhi Leonard, who has
• 2:12:26
  if you want to win a championship, you go.
• 2:12:29
  All in Kawhi Leonard, might be another picture of perfect time
• 2:12:34
  for the New York Knicks. So my golf clap goes to Kawhi
• 2:12:38
  Leonard. Hopefully, there's no money
• 2:12:39
  being drawn onto the table, but he had an unbelievable game.
• 2:12:43
  So my golf clap goes to the Kawaii man himself and maybe a
• 2:12:49
  trade ship at the trade deadline for an NBA team.
• 2:12:52
  Think about it. When we come back ladies and
• 2:12:56
  gentlemen, he's been on our show.
• 2:12:57
  We're talking a lot of college football and this man might know
• 2:13:02
  more about college football that any Does.
• 2:13:05
  And ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna be talking to USA Today
• 2:13:08
  college, football writer. Scooby, Dooby Doo.
• 2:13:11
  Waxing when we come back, but ladies and gentlemen, we still
• 2:13:16
  have a sports minute with the fish.
• 2:13:18
  Three. This is the Java and the mouth
• 2:13:22
  Sportsman is. All right guys, Aaron Fishman
• 2:13:26
  here with your Sportsman, got a couple of stories for you before
• 2:13:28
  we go through the scores this evening the I guess West
• 2:13:33
  Sacramento Athletics for the time being have locked up, what
• 2:13:37
  they hope will be a future, Cornerstone in their roster for
• 2:13:40
  the prime of his career reports into ESPN and Jeff passan on
• 2:13:44
  Christmas that the A's and left fielder.
• 2:13:47
  Tyler SodaStream agreed to a seven year. 86 million dollar
• 2:13:50
  deal that has escalators that can make it up to a 135 million
• 2:13:55
  dollar contract. There's a club option for an 8
• 2:13:58
  year in his first year as a full-time starter in 2025.
• 2:14:01
  So drum broke out to the tune of 276 346 on base in a force, 74
• 2:14:06
  slugging percentage with 25 homers and 93 RBIs.
• 2:14:11
  So from now becomes a third member of The Outfield to be
• 2:14:13
  locked up through 2030 or longer after Lawrence Butler and Brent,
• 2:14:17
  Rucker, who's mostly a DHS I have.
• 2:14:19
  Lions similar contracts in more of the mold of this Atlanta
• 2:14:23
  Braves signing early and giving up years of arbitration in order
• 2:14:26
  to get paid right away, type deals and then these kind of get
• 2:14:30
  out of these deals in time for a second contract.
• 2:14:32
  Everyone's happy, especially the team that gets to keep these
• 2:14:36
  players. If players work out, it's a
• 2:14:38
  great system as the Braves have shown by winning a title.
• 2:14:41
  But also when it goes south as the Braves have shown, it can go
• 2:14:44
  very south but I guess for the A's, what else do they have to
• 2:14:48
  lose at this point and reports from Fox?
• 2:14:51
  Jay Glazer on Sunday, say that CBS Sports, Matt Ryan, the
• 2:14:55
  former long-time quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons and the
• 2:14:59
  Atlanta Falcons are in serious talks, for Ryan to rejoin, the
• 2:15:02
  organization in a significant role in the front office.
• 2:15:06
  Ryan, who won the 2016 MVP with the Falcons and took the team to
• 2:15:10
  the Super Bowl, only to lose an epic fashion to the Patriots.
• 2:15:13
  After being up 223, of course, he's considered one of the
• 2:15:17
  better color commentators for NFL coverage right now.
• 2:15:19
  On his loss would staying CBS some, but he's only in the
• 2:15:22
  number three slot behind JJ, Watt for National coverage.
• 2:15:25
  It's certainly isn't unprecedented for someone to go
• 2:15:29
  from being on TV, to the front office and have success.
• 2:15:32

  I guess the Heisman Trophy dinner and the opportunity to
• 2:18:29
  see the gremlin, win his eyes man, which Ashton gently should
• 2:18:33

• 2:18:34
  Ladies and gentlemen, we are now talking to USA Today college,
• 2:18:37
  football writer Scooby, accent Scooby.
• 2:18:41
  What's up, gentlemen and gentlemen, how you doing today?
• 2:18:43
  First of all, before we get into college football, because we've
• 2:18:47
  been speaking a lot on the show about college football.
• 2:18:49
  How are you feeling man? I know you had a little bit of
• 2:18:53
  surgery and yeah, I'm all right, you know, now the pain in my
• 2:18:59
  behind is picking up after my kid Christmas presents thousand
• 2:19:05
  dollars a toys that he don't play with.
• 2:19:07
  I'm just like, dude, it's ridiculous.
• 2:19:11
  It's, you know, spending the Christmas Eve putting his stuff
• 2:19:17
  together And batteries in his RC toys and just like, it's, it's
• 2:19:23
  ridiculous. You know, I'm just like spending
• 2:19:26
  our clean up all this crap. He has like 100, Hot Wheels cars
• 2:19:30
  and just like, man. Yeah, it's it's ridiculous.
• 2:19:33
  Well, I will say, this job is the only one that has a kid and
• 2:19:37
  his kids like he's a teenager. The kid is actually he's I Java
• 2:19:42
  said would probably tell you it's almost 20 years old so he's
• 2:19:45
  not even a teenager anymore. It's almost a grown man so you
• 2:19:48
  it gets better than they just want clothes and those are easy
• 2:19:51
  to wraps. Yeah, I've got like he opened up
• 2:19:54
  the box of clothes that I got him.
• 2:19:56
  Like I got him like a Nike sweater.
• 2:19:58
  Um, some Ralph Lauren Polo stuff, he's like, get this mess
• 2:20:03
  out of my face. Look, Like he's not even three
• 2:20:07
  years old, he's just talks this his side just like no I'm not
• 2:20:10
  having this. It's like okay then go to
• 2:20:13
  daycare naked, I don't care. Yeah.
• 2:20:18
  It. Yeah, I don't understand it.
• 2:20:20
  But yeah, supposedly it gets better.
• 2:20:22
  The kid is in a 90 percentile of height, which I don't
• 2:20:27
  understand. I'm only five.
• 2:20:28
  Ten wife is 5 4. So I understand that.
• 2:20:31
  But, yeah, I'll tell you it gets more expensive.
• 2:20:36
  Oh, I'm yeah. Oh, I know.
• 2:20:40
  And it's New York City daycare. Oh it's oh, it's ridiculous.
• 2:20:45
  Yeah, I better be asking for your raise over there.
• 2:20:48
  I'm trying. I'm trying man. yeah, so I just
• 2:20:53
  had a before we start talking, absolutely the college football,
• 2:20:56
  playoffs the beef. Um, I've had all year with the
• 2:21:02
  with the AP. Um, writers in the polls and
• 2:21:05
  everything that they're about, um, now, I went to University of
• 2:21:10
  Oklahoma fine, but that's how, you know, it's but how can You
• 2:21:20
  win an award. Top kicker in those in the
• 2:21:24
  nation and be second team. All-American.
• 2:21:28
  How does that happen? That's a good question.
• 2:21:31
  I don't, I don't again the kid from Hawaii.
• 2:21:34
  Great story, blah, blah blah. But you know, Tates and Dale,
• 2:21:41
  Mr. Short shorts had an amazing season.
• 2:21:44
  Anybody could see that Mr. Stevie Wonder could see that.
• 2:21:47
  So, I don't understand, I just don't understand it, but This,
• 2:21:53
  this is not president, like remember when Eric Crouch won
• 2:21:56
  Heisman. Yeah.
• 2:21:59
  Do you know who the first team All-American quarterback?
• 2:22:02
  Was that year? Speedy would probably.
• 2:22:03
  Now I don't have no It wasn't are crouched.
• 2:22:08
  It was Rex Grossman. Oh, sexy.
• 2:22:13
  Rex he finished second in Heisman by the way.
• 2:22:16
  So, Eric Krause made the team as a All Purpose player, if you can
• 2:22:20
  believe that. Super Bowl, quarterback, Rex
• 2:22:23
  Grossman school. We actually just had we just had
• 2:22:26
  that conversation because we just did a Nebraska great song
• 2:22:31
  Foundation event. And so, I wanted to get people
• 2:22:35
  going on it because it just came up.
• 2:22:37
  So it was like, Who shouldn't have won the Heisman ever?
• 2:22:40
  And there was one show like, I can't remember what it was.
• 2:22:42
  Yeah. Like, oh, he shouldn't have won
• 2:22:44
  it. And then he came up and I was
• 2:22:47
  like, What you you were set in team that year weren't you?
• 2:22:51
  And he was like, yeah. And then he looked at he was
• 2:22:54
  like and then it came up as I posted a picture because I just
• 2:22:58
  like, I took the picture and I've known Eric for a while and
• 2:23:01
  he literally dude, good dude, yeah.
• 2:23:04
  Oh, he's awesome. And I just pointed to it and
• 2:23:07
  people went crazy and I'm just like, Well, this thing's really
• 2:23:11
  heavy and he has it in his house.
• 2:23:12
  So yeah. Oh yeah. 45 pounds.
• 2:23:15
  You know, try to get that thing through TSA, good luck.
• 2:23:22
  He has an insured though, too. And it has.
• 2:23:24
  Okay, hearing case. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:23:27
  That's the again, dealing with TSA out of LaGuardia or New York
• 2:23:33
  or JFK wherever they fly out of A good luck.
• 2:23:37
  Now you might you might get candy searched before you get
• 2:23:42
  that thing through security. Now I missed you at the Heisman
• 2:23:46
  Trophy dinner that I didn't even see you.
• 2:23:49
  So maybe I didn't. Of levels.
• 2:23:53
  I didn't see what stealth mode this I was on stealth mode.
• 2:23:55
  Yes, I was in a whole nother world, but Jeremiah love was
• 2:23:59
  there and I didn't want to ask him when I was asking my
• 2:24:04
  questions. I really wanted to ask him about
• 2:24:06
  Notre Dame and his his feelings towards them falling short
• 2:24:10
  because of the yeah, the the committee and just the garbage
• 2:24:15
  in the excuses. They made after they decided not
• 2:24:18
  to choose not a game to move forward into this tournament.
• 2:24:21
  Were you surprised that Jeremiah didn't Um, bring up at any point
• 2:24:29
  when people were interviewing him the thoughts and his
• 2:24:33
  feelings towards, what the committee did to him, know, I
• 2:24:36
  wasn't surprised because it seemed like every every answer
• 2:24:39
  to whatever question he was asked, was kind of politically
• 2:24:44
  correct, you know, he just gave the straight man answer didn't
• 2:24:48
  want to roughly any feathers told the company line, however,
• 2:24:52
  you want to say it. So, I'm not surprised, he didn't
• 2:24:54
  go scorched Earth, um, because I would have came off the top rope
• 2:24:58
  it, feel if it was me with the elbow with the leg drop that,
• 2:25:04
  that's just me. But, you know, he he's a nice
• 2:25:07
  guy. So I I didn't expect him to, you
• 2:25:11
  know, just, you know, him on everybody.
• 2:25:13
  Yeah. You being in the media in like
• 2:25:16
  the one thing that like, I've always like, now my son being in
• 2:25:20
  college and doing interviews. Do you guys respect that of the
• 2:25:26
  politically correct or do I I was always I wear my heart on my
• 2:25:31
  sleeve. Like yeah, my life was an open
• 2:25:33
  book so you asked whatever you want to tell you what it is like
• 2:25:36
  through my failures, through my successes, I'm gonna tell you
• 2:25:40
  Because when we give you the power of the pin, it is
• 2:25:43
  different. So, do you want, do you want
• 2:25:45
  them to give the politically correct?
• 2:25:47
  Or do you go about it like trying to Find a different way
• 2:25:51
  to go around the question because you all ask the same
• 2:25:53
  question ten different ways. Yeah, I think how?
• 2:25:57
  I, yeah, how I approach. It is.
• 2:26:00
  Whatever question I'm giving. And if I need to follow up, if
• 2:26:05
  he's not giving me anything, then I'll follow up with the
• 2:26:08
  next question. It doesn't bother me that these
• 2:26:10
  athletes are, you know, doing whatever?
• 2:26:13
  Or some of them have different personalities.
• 2:26:15
  I'm gonna get my story regardless.
• 2:26:17
  That's how I look at it. Some of these journalists
• 2:26:19
  complain, too much. I mean, all of them, complain
• 2:26:22
  too much like this game suck. You know, the Miami Texas A&M.
• 2:26:29
  Well, what the hell do you want? You know, you can't have it all.
• 2:26:33
  All ways that you wanted. If you want that, then work at
• 2:26:37
  Burger King. Then you can have it your way
• 2:26:39
  all day. Scoopy.
• 2:26:42
  Scoopy. So we were there and I didn't
• 2:26:44
  see you there. But how many Young Writers were
• 2:26:46
  there? And some of the questions
• 2:26:48
  asking? I mean, I talked with, um, I
• 2:26:51
  mean, and they had to make the Indiana kids.
• 2:26:54
  Yeah. I'm just like, please.
• 2:26:58
  I mean, I would have got the hell out of Bloomington Indiana,
• 2:27:01
  too. And they were so grateful for
• 2:27:08
  the opportunity, you know, just to be there and to cover the
• 2:27:11
  event. Um, yeah, again, these young
• 2:27:14
  guys, coming up, man. Always tell you know, people my
• 2:27:17
  job. Is to keep my job.
• 2:27:20
  My job is not to write stories. My job is to keep my job any and
• 2:27:25
  every way that I know there's 50 people that won't my job.
• 2:27:28
  I just college football playoff controversy like Notre, Dame,
• 2:27:31
  obviously not getting, I'm sure there's a lot of complaints with
• 2:27:33
  that with some of the people that you've been with us.
• 2:27:36
  I don't directly involved with a lot with the voters, your with,
• 2:27:38
  but alabame or Notre, Dame Miami's case or Notre Dame, what
• 2:27:41
  are your thoughts? The the simple fact that all
• 2:27:46
  right Alabama could have lost 70 to nothing and they still would
• 2:27:49
  have got in the predetermined case of who gets in kind of
• 2:27:54
  bothers me, you know, just during the SEC, the runner-up is
• 2:28:00
  armor actually gonna make it. And then next year with the You
• 2:28:05
  know, the memorandum understanding with Notre Dame
• 2:28:08
  top 12 automatic like, like come and like that, that kind of
• 2:28:14
  bothers me, but I would have, I would have replaced no game with
• 2:28:18
  Alabama and had no issue with it.
• 2:28:20
  Um, and again, Alabama Justified the committee's decision because
• 2:28:27
  they beat Oklahoma. So now they can breed the sir
• 2:28:31
  relief. um, and so again, the predetermination of it, You
• 2:28:37
  know, it is what it is and everybody has a gripe in, come
• 2:28:41
  January 20th, no one would care. So, you know, gripe about it for
• 2:28:46
  a month and then go about your lives, but like we all do.
• 2:28:49
  And by the way, everybody doesn't know.
• 2:28:52
  We were talking to USA Today college, football writer Scooby
• 2:28:56
  accent. It's been on our show before met
• 2:28:58
  Scooby at the Heisman Trophy dinner.
• 2:29:00
  Two years ago, I didn't even know he was there this year.
• 2:29:02
  That just shows you how oblivious I was I was in my own
• 2:29:06
  little world. I got a chance to talk to a lot
• 2:29:08
  of different people, a lot of different writers, a lot of
• 2:29:11
  young people that were there and some of the questions and they
• 2:29:14
  and also the I'll tell you this Scooby, I have no problems for
• 2:29:17
  these young guys to speak out. And I know they were, they were
• 2:29:21
  nice and they wanted to be there and I want to speak, but some of
• 2:29:24
  the questions and some of the Ridiculousness at some of these
• 2:29:27
  guys and they were cutting off, some of the veteran guys.
• 2:29:30
  Yeah, he wanted to speak. I didn't like that.
• 2:29:31
  I just got a staff or pick six but anyway, he just lost it MVP.
• 2:29:42
  But yeah, look because every year, You get these people from,
• 2:29:47
  let's just say People magazine or fashion magazine, but what
• 2:29:51
  are you wearing like? I don't care.
• 2:29:53
  Come in a diaper. I don't care what the guy is
• 2:29:56
  wearing. Just, you know, just, you know,
• 2:29:59
  I'm wearing Ralph Lauren like, like Pavia.
• 2:30:03
  He looked like he was about to throwing a mafia hit like, oh
• 2:30:06
  God, like he was, he was chained up.
• 2:30:08
  He was, he was getting going boy.
• 2:30:10
  Like he came in there. Mobbed up.
• 2:30:12
  And he was, I mean and the guys where they believe I love it,
• 2:30:18
  that nil money. I love it.
• 2:30:19
  Absolutely. But yeah, it's just seems like
• 2:30:23
  um it wasn't like the last year with Hunter.
• 2:30:26
  Did you know, notice how how first of all?
• 2:30:30
  First of all, you did not Have to bring up the ground.
• 2:30:34
  Okay. I here's the thing and I
• 2:30:38
  remember last year, are you referring to strike or Gizmo
• 2:30:42
  like stripe? Not get.
• 2:30:45
  All right, all right, so all right and we I gave him the
• 2:30:48
  nickname, the gremlin and people are riding with it, but I I the
• 2:30:52
  thing is with Travis Hunter it. The last year when we were there
• 2:30:56
  I just felt like there was an aura about him.
• 2:30:59
  Like he knew he was gonna win, he absolutely deserve to win.
• 2:31:03
  And it kind of It kind of felt the same way with Diego believed
• 2:31:10
  that he should have walked away with it and ran away with it.
• 2:31:13
  And when he heard that meant that was picked off over him, he
• 2:31:16
  was shocked and then yeah, he took his blows out on on the
• 2:31:20
  committee and and then he apologies.
• 2:31:21
  But I was I was questioning the way he attacked it obviously,
• 2:31:25
  that's the way he fell. Why he fell into a apologize is
• 2:31:30
  that going to come back to him when he's interviewing with?
• 2:31:33
  NFL teams. Um, shouldn't it be like what
• 2:31:36
  you do on the field? Like it like you could be a
• 2:31:40
  butthole off the field so what if you're producing on the field
• 2:31:44
  like just don't be out there committing felonies that that's
• 2:31:48
  all NFL teams asking if you just don't be out there acting the
• 2:31:50
  fool. I was just a Raiders.
• 2:31:51
  Were they allow that kind of behavior?
• 2:31:53
  Well yeah well I mean all the Dallas Cowboys or that I mean
• 2:31:58
  there there been people that have killed people.
• 2:32:01
  And been on NFL rosters. So like I mean, so again, if he
• 2:32:08
  thought that would come back to bite him or somebody got in his
• 2:32:10
  ear and said, you need to apologize.
• 2:32:11
  Um, and then reach Davis, like I regret my vote.
• 2:32:14
  No one asked you, like, that's the thing is, people like give
• 2:32:20
  their opinions. Like, no one asked you whether
• 2:32:22
  you regret your vote, you just came out and said it, you know,
• 2:32:26
  because of the way he acted. Again, if you just go ham on
• 2:32:30
  people like that, don't apologize.
• 2:32:32
  Because that's the way you feel. Um, I just think that's being,
• 2:32:37
  you know, it's counterproductive to do that, you know, once you
• 2:32:41
  say after the Heisman voters and I should have won, and then 24
• 2:32:46
  hours later after the liquor wears off, you know, you you
• 2:32:49
  apologize and No, no, I'm cool. I want to shift to the whole of
• 2:32:54
  Michigan Saga with us, Ron Moore.
• 2:32:56
  Oh, everything that's happened up.
• 2:32:58
  Recently with that Kyle, Kyle, Whittingham was just hired
• 2:33:02
  there's the new coach, right? I think it's a good movie.
• 2:33:03
  So he's a winning top 10, winning coach, I think cities
• 2:33:05
  took over at Utah. But that whole Saga, how that
• 2:33:08
  went down? Even the stallion scandal from
• 2:33:10
  last year. Do you think Michigan's lost a
• 2:33:11
  program reputation as a whole? Or they still gonna be
• 2:33:14
  considered a high-end football program.
• 2:33:15
  Conspiracy theories are out there?
• 2:33:17
  I think if they beat Ohio State, he still the head coach.
• 2:33:22
  I mean, that's just, you know, you beat one rival, was just
• 2:33:28
  seemed like they got, they look for any reason to get rid of
• 2:33:32
  them. After nine wins nine wins in
• 2:33:34
  most programs, they're they're cheering but not Michigan.
• 2:33:37
  They think their stuff don't stink, they think they should
• 2:33:40
  win every year. So, um, that's the way it is.
• 2:33:43
  Again, they're gonna have to deal with Oregon, Ohio, State,
• 2:33:47
  and Indiana. And next, Four or five years and
• 2:33:51
  let those programs are going somewhere else.
• 2:33:52
  So if they think, they're going to win a National Championship
• 2:33:56
  in the next five years while he's under contract, you know,
• 2:34:01
  one of those two or three teams need to drop off significantly,
• 2:34:05
  I that's just not gonna happen. So again, good hire to stabilize
• 2:34:10
  stabilize the program but I mean in five years, there'll be
• 2:34:16
  looking for a new coach. If I was him, I would stay
• 2:34:20
  retired collected that check from Utah because they basically
• 2:34:25
  offer him a significant job sitting on his tail at the time
• 2:34:30
  if he would have just retired but hey take that 8 million
• 2:34:35
  brother. Go right ahead.
• 2:34:39
  All right, I'm not mad at it. Yeah.
• 2:34:40
  No anything. But I want to go back to
• 2:34:44
  something and I'm interested to because I don't know and
• 2:34:48
  questions that I don't know. How is that committee when they
• 2:34:52
  do. Certain things like obviously
• 2:34:56
  the Heisman like how was that committee chosen?
• 2:34:59
  so, you get Here's a number of Voters in each region.
• 2:35:04
  And then you get the former Heisman winners, each have a
• 2:35:08
  vote, and then you have a fan vote.
• 2:35:10
  So um the Heisman trust chooses, who votes?
• 2:35:16
  And so you have an equal number of Voters in each of the six
• 2:35:19
  regions. and so, they submit their vote, and I think they
• 2:35:24
  narrowed it down this year, they say are, you can't vote until
• 2:35:28
  Saturday at 5 p.m. of the conference Championship.
• 2:35:31
  And we're going to close it at like Monday at noon.
• 2:35:34
  So then the counters tabulate the vote, and then that's how
• 2:35:38
  you get the ESPN. These are the top four.
• 2:35:40
  And then later in the week, they announced the five through 10.
• 2:35:44
  So, that's how it works in professional sports.
• 2:35:46
  Obviously, you have guys that are on your beat all the time,
• 2:35:49
  do you have to have a certain credential or work with a
• 2:35:52
  certain conglomerate to be able to know?
• 2:35:55
  No, not at all and the voters you can look them up their their
• 2:36:01
  names are readily available so you can look them up just like
• 2:36:04
  like I vote on the call Awards so, I mean, there's I mean,
• 2:36:10
  there's got to be hundreds of us and some of these places that
• 2:36:15
  people work, I've never heard of before.
• 2:36:16
  So like, I'm just like, so you get 870 something voters.
• 2:36:22
  There's a chance that you never heard of this place that this
• 2:36:26
  person works for, and it is a Iseman voter.
• 2:36:28
  And let's, let's just be real. Some of it don't take it
• 2:36:33
  seriously because You know, no one is 100% on the ballot.
• 2:36:40
  So they're leaving names off the ballot.
• 2:36:43
  Like Mendoza's name was left off of 5% of the ballots.
• 2:36:47
  Like how do you do that if you take your job, seriously.
• 2:36:51
  You see what I'm saying? Oh, so some of these dudes,
• 2:36:54
  don't watch it. Lick a college football, all
• 2:36:56
  year, but still have the privilege.
• 2:36:58
  To be voters and the Heisman Trust.
• 2:37:02
  That was out those, you know? Um, Those privileges to vote on
• 2:37:07
  the Heisman. We're talking to USA Today,
• 2:37:11
  college, football writer, Scooby, axson Scooby, is, we've
• 2:37:15
  built a good relationship again. I didn't see him at the Heisman
• 2:37:18
  Trophy dinner, but hey, you know what, maybe he was busy, I was
• 2:37:22
  busy. I was speaking to a lot of
• 2:37:23
  different people, so I'm gonna tell you something.
• 2:37:27
  Yeah, I said right across the table, from you really.
• 2:37:29
  How did I miss you at dinner? I was self dinner the table next
• 2:37:35
  to the TV on, I do. Yeah, holy crap.
• 2:37:39
  Yeah, that black dude, that was Hahaha.
• 2:37:44
  Wow, that makes you look like an asshole.
• 2:37:46
  I don't think it makes, no, he was concentrating on that Feast
• 2:37:50
  like we all were because I know, I was hungry in the hostage.
• 2:37:55
  I was concentrating on that food.
• 2:37:57
  I was so, yeah, I was a little Lost in Translation, but it's
• 2:38:00
  all good brother. It's all good Scooby.
• 2:38:03
  I got a good question for you. Yes, this organ, Texas, Tech
• 2:38:07
  game. Yeah, the game that really
• 2:38:08
  sticks out to me out of all the games, and I, I think it's the
• 2:38:12
  battle of the offense against the battle of the defense.
• 2:38:14
  Dan Lanning is to me, one of my favorite coaches in college
• 2:38:17
  football and Texas Tech is the best.
• 2:38:21
  I think the best defense in this tournament.
• 2:38:23
  You look at this game and this game is going to be played
• 2:38:26
  really down to the wire. I think whoever wins this game,
• 2:38:30
  could really surprised the world and go to a national
• 2:38:34
  championship because I think Oregon, if they match up against
• 2:38:36
  Indiana and Indiana, they can be beat him.
• 2:38:39
  I I really do believe it and I think they could be a team.
• 2:38:43
  Like Alabama, as well. And Texas Tech could beat
• 2:38:46
  anybody with that defense. They just need a score.
• 2:38:48
  What do you think? Do you think this is the best
• 2:38:50
  game out of all the games? I'm really curious about the
• 2:38:54
  Miami Ohio State game, right? But the Oregon, I think the
• 2:38:58
  organ needs to run the ball. I know.
• 2:39:00
  Texas Tech is Stout up front. You got Rodriguez and that's all
• 2:39:04
  that he was probable for the game on the injury report.
• 2:39:07
  But of course, I think he's going to play less something
• 2:39:10
  catastrophic happens, but they need to run the ball and they
• 2:39:15
  need to run it effectively. You can't be in third and seven
• 2:39:18
  thirty eight because you're gonna get much work that night.
• 2:39:22
  So if Oregon wants to expand, they need to run the ball first
• 2:39:26
  and foremost. And then, once you loosen up
• 2:39:28
  that defense taking shots, Dante, nothing downfield, you
• 2:39:32
  got running lanes, and that's how you get it done against
• 2:39:35
  Texas Tech because that that front that nil front is just two
• 2:39:40
  Stout. and the boys are hungry, they got their nio money, they
• 2:39:44
  want to Champion Championship, so, Oregon.
• 2:39:47
  That's the key to Victory Inn. In what I see I want to just be
• 2:39:51
  a hell of a game. If anybody said they thought
• 2:39:54
  Texas Tech with making this far Stay off the sauce at the end of
• 2:39:58
  the season. Like no one, no one thought they
• 2:40:02
  would be here. They thought they would be good
• 2:40:04
  but playoff caliber, come on. Yeah.
• 2:40:06
  Yes. I want to shift to the other
• 2:40:08
  game. The Alabama kind of sauces.
• 2:40:10
  It. Is it hot sauce.
• 2:40:11
  Oh, you know what kind of sauce? I just hope it's not scared.
• 2:40:18
  Oh, not so scared. And not barbecue sauce.
• 2:40:21
  You know, what, you know, what's up to the other game on the
• 2:40:26
  Indiana? Alabama matchup.
• 2:40:27
  I was under, yeah, pressing that out Oklahoma Alabama.
• 2:40:29
  Whoever won that game? I was wrong.
• 2:40:30
  I thought Oklahoma would win. But both teams could easily
• 2:40:33
  upset, Indiana. And both those teams could
• 2:40:35
  actually go to the National Championship.
• 2:40:36
  Now Alabama's there against Indiana.
• 2:40:39
  We've saw Ryan Williams kind of up and down throughout the year
• 2:40:41
  obviously Alabama's got the really good defense in the
• 2:40:43
  Indiana. Had a good defense of showing at
• 2:40:45
  Ohio State in the national championship.
• 2:40:46
  What are the keys to victory for Indiana and for Alabama to get
• 2:40:50
  the upset again? I think the seven points at
• 2:40:54
  Indiana's getting his is a bit much but which Alabama team is
• 2:40:59
  going to show up the one against Georgia were They just just
• 2:41:04
  screwed. We're not gonna run the ball
• 2:41:05
  because we can't And rely on overseers again.
• 2:41:09
  It's I think, with the two contests organ in the Oregon,
• 2:41:14
  Texas Tech in this game, running the football.
• 2:41:18
  Because again you go past it 45 times three of those are coming
• 2:41:23
  back. The other way.
• 2:41:25
  I'm just telling you now, you need to establish some kind of
• 2:41:30
  Of running game. This is not the Texas, Tech
• 2:41:32
  Grand Harold, Kliff Kingsbury, you know where you throw it 60
• 2:41:37
  times in income away with a victory.
• 2:41:39
  That that's those days, are long, gone.
• 2:41:41
  So, um, again if they if they show up like they did again, You
• 2:41:47
  know, Georgia. You know, and they ran it a
• 2:41:51
  little bit against Oklahoma turned the ball over and had
• 2:41:54
  horrible special teams. That's what got them beat and
• 2:41:58
  the ability the ability not to keep a lead, which I don't want
• 2:42:01
  to understand but you turn the ball over.
• 2:42:03
  That's what's going to happen to you.
• 2:42:04
  So, Play a mistake free. Established a run.
• 2:42:09
  We're not talking about breaking off 340. 50 yard runs.
• 2:42:14
  Four, five yards of pop on the first down to get you in that
• 2:42:18
  second and five, thirty and four.
• 2:42:19
  And then again because if you turn the ball over, he couldn't
• 2:42:23
  stupid pills. It might be a rep by halftime.
• 2:42:29
  Wow, because Indiana's, that good. so you you've touched on a
• 2:42:34
  few games and obviously, You look at as a whole and cover it
• 2:42:40
  all. Yeah, if you had to pick one
• 2:42:42
  right now based upon What you've seen?
• 2:42:49
  Who would be your winner right now?
• 2:42:51
  To take the ship. Oh man.
• 2:42:56
  Um, I picked Ohio State game the year.
• 2:43:00
  Um not that I have seen even against Indiana that game
• 2:43:06
  reminded me. Remember a couple years ago and
• 2:43:08
  Ohio State played Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship.
• 2:43:10
  Yeah. And they got beat and saw Urban
• 2:43:13
  Meyer on the golf cart eating Papa John's.
• 2:43:16
  That's what that reminded me of. and so, like it just I just
• 2:43:27
  think they're two talented that defense is the absolute game
• 2:43:31
  record. And again, Carson Beck.
• 2:43:35
  You know, he can get you five touchdowns or he can throw you
• 2:43:38
  four picks. Again, that's just how Miami is.
• 2:43:42
  But Miami got some dogs on defense, too.
• 2:43:45
  Um if Ohio state is not careful, they can they can find
• 2:43:48
  themselves in a Texas A&M type game low-scoring where the the
• 2:43:53
  first team that scores a touchdown or gets a turnover
• 2:43:57
  deep in the opponent's territory, is going to win this
• 2:44:00
  game, you match it costs and back.
• 2:44:02
  And yeah, by the way, All right. Now I do remember you sitting
• 2:44:06
  down because we were talking about Miami not lying.
• 2:44:09
  No, I beat where we not talking about Miami.
• 2:44:13
  We are about Miami. Yeah, we're talking about Miami
• 2:44:16
  now. I know it was him.
• 2:44:17
  No dude. I was in my own little world and
• 2:44:21
  I again I saw some people that I knew and I was jumping ship
• 2:44:24
  here. You know, I was jumping from
• 2:44:26
  table to table and he would tell you that I was doing that.
• 2:44:28
  Yeah, so um, my question to you is constant bad, is a lot of
• 2:44:34
  people think, could be a late first round pick.
• 2:44:36
  Now that obviously certain, like seller is decided to go back to
• 2:44:40
  college. For one more year that could
• 2:44:43
  actually sneak into the first round possibly and and if he's
• 2:44:47
  not in the first round, he's an early second round pick some
• 2:44:50
  people like Carlson back and think that this guy could be a
• 2:44:54
  good NFL quarterback. Some people think he's a boat
• 2:44:58
  next type of player, what what do you think?
• 2:45:01
  So there is a couple of scenarios Where Mendoza goes?
• 2:45:06
  Number one. And you won't see another
• 2:45:09
  quarterback taken into the third or fourth round.
• 2:45:11
  Yep. Really.
• 2:45:12
  Really because they're waiting, for next year's class.
• 2:45:16
  This would say more comes back to school.
• 2:45:19
  I don't know why would, but let's just say he does.
• 2:45:22
  Um, then you might have a middle first round.
• 2:45:28
  Um, type of scenario with Mendoza and then more.
• 2:45:32
  And it just really depends on how many quarterback desperate
• 2:45:36
  teams are out there. Giants, Raiders.
• 2:45:40
  Browns. if they're not sticking with Sanders, Don't.
• 2:45:48
  Know what the hell did? Well, I mean the Giants can
• 2:45:51
  stick with dark but he just needs to stay healthy.
• 2:45:53
  So let's just say Jets. Raiders Browns, those three.
• 2:46:02
  And so again, if they'd like what they see and of course, all
• 2:46:08
  this is the, in the beauty, in the eye, that Beholder, you
• 2:46:11
  know, it's like whatever you see, you know, a couple years
• 2:46:15
  ago, I don't know what the Colts was looking at when they chose
• 2:46:18
  Richardson, but they took him, they saw something. again, if
• 2:46:23
  you want to have the The Stevie Wonder syndrome.
• 2:46:26
  That's your business, you know, you gonna pay for it, you know,
• 2:46:30
  you got to bring, you know Old Man River in from you know,
• 2:46:34
  Shady Pines, the quarterback for you, you know. so, I know, I
• 2:46:48
  know that arm was sore at the end of the game.
• 2:46:50
  Yeah. No he was soaking that in some
• 2:46:51
  binge. Evaluating quarterbacks, all
• 2:47:01
  these gurus. It's just Whatever evaluators
• 2:47:05
  sees in that moment Scoopy. No one that's the problem,
• 2:47:08
  that's the problem. Yeah, because even though you're
• 2:47:11
  looking at this class, not to be a quarterback class, we have
• 2:47:14
  seen classes that everybody says it's not a quarterback class and
• 2:47:18
  then you find two or three quarterbacks that yeah,
• 2:47:20
  franchise quarterbacks. Yes.
• 2:47:22
  I, you know, these guys that do this for living, oh, Yeah,
• 2:47:33
  actually more. God bless him.
• 2:47:34
  Make that money brother you know because they're wrong more often
• 2:47:39
  than not. I remember a comic.
• 2:47:43
  His name is George Wallace. He's signed actually Seinfeld's
• 2:47:47
  best friend. That's he says what other
• 2:47:50
  profession? Like the weatherman where you're
• 2:47:53
  always wrong and they say come on back in tomorrow?
• 2:47:57
  They're always predicting stuff and they're always mostly wrong.
• 2:48:01
  Is like come on, back in tomorrow.
• 2:48:03
  Do it again. It's just like these evaluators
• 2:48:05
  you know now you mentioned Matt Ryan.
• 2:48:08
  Yes. Um tied to the Falcons, has
• 2:48:12
  anybody seen that? He knows how to evaluate
• 2:48:14
  anything. He doesn't know how to invite
• 2:48:16
  evaluate how to throw ball anymore.
• 2:48:20
  I mean, so again I I'm not sure where These owners or these GMS
• 2:48:27
  are looking. But again, God bless them
• 2:48:31
  because their reputation, their jobs are on the line.
• 2:48:34
  If they don't, you know, they'll be pink slip.
• 2:48:38
  When is, when is Black, Monday is next Monday.
• 2:48:41
  Yes, it's a regular season in my 12 B, pink slip Monday.
• 2:48:45
  That's what I call it. Well, I want to tell you
• 2:48:46
  something. I wrote a story on the worldwide
• 2:48:49
  sports radio network, making fun of Black Friday and how just
• 2:48:52
  impossibly stupid the the teams are.
• 2:48:56
  When when you get off the season's over in the first thing
• 2:48:59
  they're gonna do is just throw your quarterback.
• 2:49:01
  Throw your quarterback. I mean yeah, so your quarterback
• 2:49:04
  in the throw your coach under the bus like oh you can't.
• 2:49:07
  You can't you don't know how to coach this guy.
• 2:49:10
  We got to bring in somebody. Oh, what's that 90 yards?
• 2:49:17
  That's my guy, 93 yards. Oh, that's this is ridiculous.
• 2:49:21
  So yeah, so you speak a Black Friday, you remember?
• 2:49:24
  Back in the day, where these idiots used to go to the store
• 2:49:27
  like 4:30 in the morning. Yes.
• 2:49:29
  Wait and wait for the store to open this.
• 2:49:31
  Get crushed the doors open, you know, you might get trampled to
• 2:49:37
  get a damn Christmas present. He like like no, that's that's
• 2:49:42
  how it is. When you compare what these GMS
• 2:49:47
  in all these values have to do, you have to feel they competent
• 2:49:51
  football team, um, and every year like the jet yesterday,
• 2:49:57
  Like, I was like, get this off of my TV, man.
• 2:50:00
  Yeah, this is, I don't want to watch this.
• 2:50:02
  I'd rather watch like a lifetime movie.
• 2:50:04
  What cheer me up? Like, I got what you saying and
• 2:50:08
  I understand. And that's as I do.
• 2:50:10
  I do. I'm a I root for the Jets and
• 2:50:13
  I'm an eagle's guy. Why?
• 2:50:14
  Because I'm, I don't know why. I just like, are you, are you
• 2:50:22
  like generationally tied to that team?
• 2:50:24
  Like like why? No, why?
• 2:50:26
  No, when I was a kid, I I was like six years old and I was
• 2:50:31
  watching a football game. It's just so happened to be that
• 2:50:33
  sheets, and I started to be a Jet fan.
• 2:50:36
  I, I'm mommy. No, mommy.
• 2:50:39
  This team is horrible. I love him.
• 2:50:40
  My mom was in a football fan and my father was in a sports fan,
• 2:50:43
  so they were really into that stuff.
• 2:50:45
  So, I did and I was in, I, when I as I got older, I routed all
• 2:50:50
  for the Eagles because I was at Donovan McNabb fan, I followed
• 2:50:53
  it Syracuse. I followed him in high school.
• 2:50:54
  So I was a big fan of Don. McNab.
• 2:50:58
  And when, when he went to the Eagles, I rooted for the Eagles
• 2:51:01
  because the Jets were never good.
• 2:51:02
  So I, I always root on my teams now, I'm as an analyst, you
• 2:51:06
  know, this, when you, when you get into this business, you
• 2:51:10
  really have to be honest with yourself and the things that
• 2:51:13
  you're rude for. So absolutely.
• 2:51:14
  And I'm honestly, like I said, I went to University of Oklahoma,
• 2:51:17
  but I do not shed one tear when they lose because I went out
• 2:51:22
  there. You know, I know friends.
• 2:51:25
  When oh, you lose this rule is their entire weekend.
• 2:51:29
  Won't talk to the wife, won't talk to the kids, like, just
• 2:51:32
  just absolutely destruct. Like, I don't understand it, but
• 2:51:36
  that's what we've been struggling for a long time.
• 2:51:40
  Like I like, I like the braids me, too.
• 2:51:42
  Because I, I grew up on a military base in Oklahoma.
• 2:51:46
  And on channels we had or NBC. CBS show wasn't ABC.
• 2:51:53
  It's the Braves would absolute garbage.
• 2:51:59
  Yeah. So like that was only thing
• 2:52:01
  going on so like just like okay I'm rocking with so I know what
• 2:52:06
  you mean. I know exactly what you mean
• 2:52:08
  with the Jets, you know, that's just your team and you just
• 2:52:11
  gotta ride with the good bad and mostly ugly.
• 2:52:15
  Know, I gotta go ride with the good bag, bad and, and just
• 2:52:18
  throw up every single time I watch them.
• 2:52:19
  But I'm hoping that I know a lot of Jeff fans and we're gonna
• 2:52:24
  have to go. But I, I want to say something.
• 2:52:26
  I know a lot of Jeff fans are, I don't know what's going on.
• 2:52:30
  What was with the press conference in the media with
• 2:52:33
  Aaron Glenn? I thought Aaron Glenn really,
• 2:52:35
  look bad yesterday. But I understand that.
• 2:52:38
  What are you going to say? What are you going to say?
• 2:52:40
  This is, you knew this was gonna be a bad year and this wasn't
• 2:52:43
  your deal. This is Robert Solace team.
• 2:52:45
  So he went into the season thinking that or any Jet fans
• 2:52:49
  thought that they were going to win.
• 2:52:50
  And by the way, I am going to take a shot at somebody.
• 2:52:54
  For years, I listened to these Jet fans and Jet guys on social
• 2:52:59
  media and this is attack to Jake asman.
• 2:53:02
  All right, and I am going to attack him because this man went
• 2:53:06
  on after the game and attacked Aaron Glenn.
• 2:53:09
  When before the season started, this guy has he was at a butt
• 2:53:13
  fetish for Aaron Glenn. Oh my god, oh, I regret Aragon.
• 2:53:16
  Yeah, I love this guy. This guy's great that and now
• 2:53:21
  all of a sudden, get rid of them.
• 2:53:22
  That that's the problem with jet, guys and Jet media, guys,
• 2:53:27
  they they fall in love with guys and then they give up on the
• 2:53:30
  guys, and he don't even give him a chance, and I think that's the
• 2:53:33
  problem with Aaron Glenn. I don't know what Aaron Glenn
• 2:53:35
  is, but I can't make a decision in one year what he is when we
• 2:53:39
  don't know, if he could develop a quarterback or bring it.
• 2:53:42
  It's not like is not without president coaches getting fired
• 2:53:46
  after year, one. Yeah, we've seen this a lot in
• 2:53:49
  the NFL. Yeah.
• 2:53:50
  Um, so again, if they do make the decision next Monday that
• 2:53:54
  They just can't stand. losing like this because if they, Um, I
• 2:54:00
  think they were one of 14 that have lost four games in a row by
• 2:54:06
  more than 20 points. Yes, in NFL history.
• 2:54:08
  Yes. So I mean it's it's bad it's as
• 2:54:12
  bad it yeah it's bad. So again if if they want to they
• 2:54:16
  also traded their two best defensive players at the
• 2:54:19
  training and you mention the Raiders.
• 2:54:21
  Like it's not only dependent on draft picks.
• 2:54:24
  These guys have almost 100 million dollars in cap space,
• 2:54:27
  right? So spend that money on free
• 2:54:29
  agents. If you have to overpay Oh, I
• 2:54:33
  mean just to get some new blood in that building.
• 2:54:36
  You have to overpay for some of these free agents.
• 2:54:39
  You just need something new in that building, you know, I think
• 2:54:43
  you got the running back, get some offense alignment.
• 2:54:47
  You know, get a quarterback in there that I should other team.
• 2:54:50
  I think that have the offensive line they've got guys.
• 2:54:53
  Yes, Hall, Garrett, Wilson is hurt or course but like just get
• 2:54:59
  somebody, who won't throw the who's not color blind.
• 2:55:02
  Throw the ball. Please.
• 2:55:04
  Like like, for once in your life like come on, you know.
• 2:55:08
  Oh I'm serious like like throwing to Oh, I've never heard
• 2:55:16
  anybody say that? Well, get somebody who's not
• 2:55:18
  color blind. I don't know what else it is.
• 2:55:21
  If they're checking these guys at the facility before the
• 2:55:25
  season, like I don't know what's going on.
• 2:55:27
  That's a good take up. I mean, that's what I see on my
• 2:55:33
  TV. Like I said, I just like, okay,
• 2:55:36
  that's the wrong color jersey and that wrong color jersey is
• 2:55:39
  going the other way with the football, um, but I just try to
• 2:55:46
  call it as I see it, you know, like I said, these guys are
• 2:55:49
  making millions of dollars having the privilege to play
• 2:55:52
  professional football. Um, take a little criticism
• 2:55:56
  Stafford, just Now. Just sit on the bench brother.
• 2:56:02
  It's okay. You're already in the playoffs.
• 2:56:04
  Yeah. So like I said it's um, these
• 2:56:07
  teams um some some days like living in New York City just
• 2:56:14
  don't know what the hell they're doing like like anybody else is
• 2:56:19
  with the incompetence of the Giants and just would have been
• 2:56:22
  fired. You know, banned from the
• 2:56:25
  league. You know, anything?
• 2:56:27
  Um, so again he said, banned from the league, I mean, do
• 2:56:35
  something like you just get the same old rotation to guys, you
• 2:56:38
  get fired one place, show up at another place and bring another
• 2:56:42
  guy in here. That don't know what the hell
• 2:56:44
  he's doing three or four years later he's fired.
• 2:56:46
  I don't understand it. But, you know, Scooby, you are a
• 2:56:51
  fantastic. You do such great.
• 2:56:53

  Hey, I want, I'm sure if I had any lick of athletic talent, I
• 2:57:22

  College football, extraordinaire noses stuff.
• 2:57:38
  He is fantastic. Gave us a take colorblind.
• 2:57:42
  Never heard a take where an analyst calls the jet
• 2:57:47
  quarterbacks color blind. That's pretty funny.
• 2:57:49
  Now, the real question, that's funny.
• 2:57:52
  Well, who's better the Jets color?
• 2:57:54
  Blind, quarterback or shedeur Sanders?
• 2:57:55
  Prime blind. That's true.
• 2:57:57
  That's right. That's true.
• 2:57:58
  Keep them away from the Jets. I do not.
• 2:58:01
  She doing Sanders there. What's your denounce?
• 2:58:03
  Your fandom of shit. Go see my cell phone for
• 2:58:07
  freaking roof. Okay.
• 2:58:08
  No, thanks. Anyways, we have save your
• 2:58:12
  tears. Mom, what's one thing that you
• 2:58:15
  can't talk to me about my sexual fantasy?
• 2:58:18
  He's not ideal. But if it's what is not ideal,
• 2:58:24
  but if it's not ideal, but if it is, what me you Save your tear.
• 2:58:40
  Here. All right, guys, time for the
• 2:58:42
  recap of week, 17, seder tears, All right.
• 2:58:47
  Again this is one of those games where we have 15 dollars of
• 2:58:50
  salary cap. We spend it on this collection
• 2:58:52
  of players from the three Christmas games this week and we
• 2:58:57
  if you watch the Christmas games you know that it was Some decent
• 2:59:01
  football. Better than a lot of the
• 2:59:02
  football. We got on Sunday, if you took
• 2:59:04
  Jamir Gibbs, if you had him in championship week in fantasy
• 2:59:08
  football, like I did you were not pleased with his efforts in
• 2:59:11
  this game. It's kind of up and down.
• 2:59:13
  We'll take a look at the results.
• 2:59:15
  Overall only a few guys played in this week and oh lo and
• 2:59:20
  behold, I am the winner by a hair over Speedy basically
• 2:59:25
  because I took Dak Prescott, I just big mistake.
• 2:59:30
  Gibbs was a mistake. Justin Jefferson has been a
• 2:59:33
  mistake all season. I, you know, we said at one
• 2:59:37
  point, one Bill Robinson had the same stats as Justin Jefferson
• 2:59:41
  is better stats than Justin Jefferson this year.
• 2:59:44
  That's pretty crazy. Wandell Robinson is going to get
• 2:59:47
  paid this off season 2 and it's not going to be by the Giants.
• 2:59:50
  I Alicia better not be. Anyway, I digress, guys.
• 2:59:54
  Time for the compliment chorus. Arrow.

• 3:00:06
  backend but the back end, the 1% positive that I that's positive.
• 3:00:12
  Just letting you know as you go down the road of the back, the
• 3:00:18
  the backbone of the the show, you really all the the cartoon,
• 3:00:23
  the craziness that you add to the show is fantastic.
• 3:00:27
  I leaned towards you and so many different ways offset and you've
• 3:00:33
  been a big part of some of the success.
• 3:00:36

  your flowers for being the king in, save your tears.
• 3:01:22
  But man, congratulations. You know, like I said, kind of
• 3:01:25

• 3:01:28
  nobody can bring what you bring to the show and for that, I
• 3:01:31
  appreciate heavily appreciated, of course, everything you do,
• 3:01:34

• 3:01:43
  absolutely love it. Of course, being a fellow Giants

  Yes, to get something, we give him an advantage.

  That was being literal Speedy. You're up my friend.
• 3:02:30
  Yes. For first of all, I'm surprised.
• 3:02:32
  I was not closest Little People's strippers.
• 3:02:35
  Sorry. Oh I ran.
• 3:02:40
  I think they prefer cortisone Java.
• 3:02:44
  Little People cortisone. I get I was just surprised.
• 3:03:00
  I was like close. I thought with all the Broncos I
• 3:03:02
  picked, I wasn't sure where that came was going.
• 3:03:04
  The way it was ugly, but they should do.
• 3:03:05
  Amazing job preparing this game. All the prep.
• 3:03:08
  All the random combinations that you've come up with to be
• 3:03:11
  creative. Create some different players I
• 3:03:13
  could get in there and some different scenarios on a, how to
• 3:03:16
  play it all the trials and tribulations.
• 3:03:17
  We have to do throughout the year from Nathan had to figure
• 3:03:20
  out with receiver column was right to all the different
• 3:03:22
  positional advantages and scoring you always very well and
• 3:03:26
  all the different point. Totals, all the different

• 3:03:33
  I appreciate it, speedy. We are gonna play the week, 18
• 3:03:36
  version of this later, on, in the show because again, we only
• 3:03:39

• 3:03:42
  One show for Christmas week. One show for New Year's week,
• 3:03:45
  but we're gonna be back to Monday and Thursday, starting.
• 3:03:48
  Next Monday in 2026, save your tears week, 18 later on tonight.
• 3:03:54
  Well, ladies and gentlemen, I wanted to get into this specific
• 3:03:58
  conversation because I thought it was very well.
• 3:04:02
  Put together the HBO documentary Alex versus A-Rod had three
• 3:04:06
  episodes detailing, some of his highs and lows of his MLB
• 3:04:10
  career. Particularly with the Yankees
• 3:04:14
  episode, 1, focusing on him. Being drafted as an 18 year old
• 3:04:18
  in 1993, by the Seattle Mariners, and I record breaking
• 3:04:23
  contract that he signed with the Texas Rangers, after one of the
• 3:04:27
  hottest stars to a pro career. As a baseball player, episode 2
• 3:04:32
  focuses on him being traded to the Yankees after Aaron Boone.
• 3:04:37
  Suffered a season ending injury playing basketball as you can.
• 3:04:41
  Remember a and the dynamic with him and Derek Jeter and his move
• 3:04:48
  to Third Base because that was very interesting at all.
• 3:04:51
  So brought up him being linked to PD investigation.
• 3:04:54
  In with the investigation in 2009 stemming from his time in
• 3:05:00
  the minor leagues as well as his 2009.
• 3:05:04
  Playoff success after struggling, in the playoffs,
• 3:05:07
  with the Yankees, his previous four times episode 3 focused on
• 3:05:12
  the second PD of Investigation. He was connected to in 2013
• 3:05:18
  leaving him suspended the entire 2014 season in a recent
• 3:05:24
  interview with the athletic. A-Rod says he is at peace over
• 3:05:29
  likely never making it to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
• 3:05:32
  A rod finished his career with 3,115 hits 696 home, runs 2000,
• 3:05:40
  and 86 RBIs and was a 14-time All-Star, 10 times, Silver,
• 3:05:45
  Slugger and three times. And VP, This was a very well put
• 3:05:52
  together documentary now. I'm sure there were things left
• 3:05:56
  out. I'm sure of it.
• 3:05:57
  And I know Java was very close to Alec's.
• 3:06:01
  He was a part of the 2009 World Series and I'm sure he has his
• 3:06:05
  own take two and I can't wait to hear it.
• 3:06:08
  Alex is a very interesting person.
• 3:06:11
  I don't know him personally, I met him, one time, I had a
• 3:06:13
  15-minute conversation about football with him, not even
• 3:06:16
  baseball. We were talking about college
• 3:06:18
  football and NFL quarterbacks. And if you don't know, Alex
• 3:06:23
  Rodriguez was a pretty good call High School football player, he
• 3:06:27
  was a quarterback, could have played college football for
• 3:06:29
  Miami decided to play baseball. Now if you know about his
• 3:06:34
  father, I didn't know much about his father's story I before this
• 3:06:39
  documentary. Now I know there was a lot of
• 3:06:41
  back-end situations on why his father left, but this story
• 3:06:47
  really gave you the inside scoop on the reasons.
• 3:06:50
  Why he left. Now do I believe and I know a
• 3:06:54
  lot of people Derek Jeter, And a lot of different analysts that
• 3:06:58
  were on the show that were close with Alex over the years
• 3:07:00
  believe. Michael.
• 3:07:02
  Kay believed that him losing his father at a young age and and
• 3:07:06
  him, his wife, tried to connect him and his father at one point
• 3:07:10
  of his career with his father. I think when he was playing for
• 3:07:14
  the Seattle Mariners, I, it's interesting.
• 3:07:18
  And I, I see why his wife, or his ex-wife was trying to do
• 3:07:21
  that Catherine but I I understand why people would
• 3:07:26
  bring up his past and try to connect his father's situation
• 3:07:29
  to the woes that he had later in his career.
• 3:07:33
  I don't blame that on on his father's situation.
• 3:07:37
  I don't know him personally but you cannot Point your fingers at
• 3:07:41
  any of that but his mistakes and and what he decided to do to
• 3:07:46
  become the player that he became now I believe, Alex Rodriguez
• 3:07:50
  would have been one of the greatest players of all time
• 3:07:53
  even without steroids I really I don't know when he started.
• 3:07:56
  He says he started in Texas, who knows if he started in Seattle,
• 3:08:00
  we don't know when he actually started doing steroids.
• 3:08:03
  What I do know is Alex, Rodriguez's ability on the
• 3:08:07
  baseball field on the diamond was amazing.
• 3:08:09
  This guy, to me, was better than Derek Jeter was as a defensive
• 3:08:13
  player at shortstop. He decided to go to the Yankees
• 3:08:17
  to play Third Base because his dream was to play with the New
• 3:08:20
  York Yankees. I do believe that he grew up in
• 3:08:23
  New York. His father was a Yankee fan, he
• 3:08:27
  was right there in the right by the Bronx.
• 3:08:29
  And his dream was to play for for Pinstripes.
• 3:08:33
  So when the Red Sox and that fell apart him going to the
• 3:08:37
  Yankees. When Brian Cashman was at the
• 3:08:39
  award show and said, would you think would you put, would you
• 3:08:43
  play Third Base? And at that point, he was unsure
• 3:08:46
  of it until after the awards or during when they were drinking,
• 3:08:49
  he came up and and he went to Brian Cashman.
• 3:08:52
  He says are you serious? And and Brian said yeah, maybe.
• 3:08:55
  So it's an interesting Dynamic. That Brian Cashman, kind of laid
• 3:09:01
  it on a plate and he kind of was drawn to it the stories behind
• 3:09:06
  the stories and Alex talking about the doctor that helped him
• 3:09:10
  get through all these trials and tribulations.
• 3:09:13
  And I, that's great. And I I'm not again.
• 3:09:17
  I'm not trying to clean up what Alex did.
• 3:09:21
  And I've said this but, you know, I've said this many many
• 3:09:23
  times about steroids steroids are not and and we've seen
• 3:09:28
  players Camp cheminee. He was, he did steroids and he
• 3:09:31
  went to a World Series, he had one great year and there are
• 3:09:34
  players that did steroids in the minors and never made it to the
• 3:09:36
  majors. I don't think steroids would
• 3:09:38
  have changed anything except maybe his power numbers in
• 3:09:42
  certain aspects. This guy was a sensational
• 3:09:44
  player. Lou Piniella came out during
• 3:09:47
  this whole documentary and I love Lou Lou's.
• 3:09:50
  One of my favorite coaches managers.
• 3:09:53
  The guy is amazing and and I thought he was the best manager
• 3:09:56
  in baseball when he was in Seattle.
• 3:09:58
  I really did. Lou said something very
• 3:10:01
  interesting about Alex Rodriguez and he said, listen, I told Alex
• 3:10:05
  not to say anything, not to really draw himself out when
• 3:10:09
  when the first steroid and and what was that?
• 3:10:12
  The report he told, Luke told him not to go out there and open
• 3:10:18
  up and do that that media. Conglomerate bulshit.
• 3:10:22
  And it really it was embarrassing because Alex didn't
• 3:10:27
  know what to say, he was lost. He was trying to figure out how
• 3:10:31
  to word himself at that and and honestly you have a PR guy.
• 3:10:35
  Why if you're his PR guy, why are you letting why are you
• 3:10:38
  feeding him to the media? It was terrible.
• 3:10:41
  It was really, really bad. And even when he he thanked his
• 3:10:45
  friends and he thanked the Yankees organization, it still
• 3:10:49
  looked bad for him. And then him trying to sue.
• 3:10:50
  The Yankees was bad when he went on Michael, my Mike Francesa
• 3:10:54
  show and tried to lie that was bad and he came out, I have to
• 3:10:58
  give him a little bit of credit. He did come out.
• 3:11:01
  I don't know how honesty was with the documentary job knows
• 3:11:04
  more than I do. But there was some honesty to
• 3:11:07
  the the conversations that he had and and the way HBO put it,
• 3:11:11
  I just think there was something that he was trying to hide.
• 3:11:14
  And he wasn't coming out. How about the threats that he
• 3:11:17
  was laying on with the second stereotype.
• 3:11:20
  The p. D situation that he had over
• 3:11:22
  there in Miami. He threatened.
• 3:11:24
  A lot of people threatening kill people.
• 3:11:25
  He didn't mention any of that and and they were a lot of
• 3:11:28
  stories that came out that were Pretty much truth to it and he
• 3:11:35
  kind of rolled around that whole part of that story.
• 3:11:40
  I just think that there was a lot of things that A-Rod did.
• 3:11:44
  But when he came back in 2014 and he he came back full force,
• 3:11:50
  I think that says a lot about who he is as a player, he wore
• 3:11:54
  his heart on his sleeve, you can see that in him, you could see
• 3:11:57
  that a lot of the players that play with him, loved him because
• 3:12:00
  he was more of a person that I think would sit down and have a
• 3:12:05
  conversation with you. I think I don't know Derek
• 3:12:08
  personally except the couple of times that I met him Derek.
• 3:12:11
  I was very surprised showed up at that documentary and was on
• 3:12:14
  that whole documentary because when we've heard stories about
• 3:12:18
  him and Derek Jeter and and the backlash of what Alex did, you
• 3:12:22
  know, said about him which affected their relationship.
• 3:12:25
  The fact that they, they fixed their relationship and Derek
• 3:12:29
  decided to go on a documentary that to me is amazing out of all
• 3:12:33
  the things that I saw on that documentary because I never
• 3:12:35
  would have thought that Derek Jeter would have been on an Alex
• 3:12:39
  Rodriguez documentary sticking up for Alex Rodriguez and trying
• 3:12:44
  to Pinpoint, the reasons why Alex became the person that he
• 3:12:48
  was was because of his father. There is to me, Alex is a man,
• 3:12:52
  he makes his own decisions. He made the decision to do
• 3:12:56
  steroids, and he took that and he ran with it.
• 3:12:59
  And he came out and he said, listen, I made that I I made
• 3:13:02
  that wrong decision and that's why I'm not in the Hall of Fame.
• 3:13:05
  And I'm not going to take away from my great years or even the
• 3:13:09
  years. That people think that I
• 3:13:10
  cheated, I like that. Alex was honest about that but
• 3:13:14
  there were things that I didn't like about Alex Rodriguez, that
• 3:13:17
  questioned me as a person as a father.
• 3:13:20
  I I think that you can see that he regrets not really spending a
• 3:13:25
  lot of time with his kids and now he's trying to spend more
• 3:13:28
  time with his kids. I think there was a lot of
• 3:13:30
  things that we saw about him as a person as a father and how he
• 3:13:34
  wanted to change, what his father didn't do to him do for
• 3:13:37
  him, he wants to do for his daughter's later in their lives
• 3:13:40
  and be there for them. I think that was interesting and
• 3:13:44
  Uh, even his ex coming out and and talking about the, the fact
• 3:13:50
  that he should have, been more of a husband to his ex-wife and
• 3:13:54
  baseball was everything to him. It was his life.
• 3:13:56
  It was everything. I thought it was just very
• 3:13:58
  interesting how he brought his story out and aired out, all
• 3:14:05
  that stuff that was going on inside and out of his career,
• 3:14:08
  and layered it all the way through to his final years, as a
• 3:14:12
  New York, Yankee and a pinstripe, and he wanted to be a
• 3:14:15
  Yankee. The Yankees.
• 3:14:16
  It wasn't. It wasn't Scott.
• 3:14:18
  Boy, it wasn't him during the World Series when Colorado was
• 3:14:22
  playing the Red Sox where that was announced.
• 3:14:23
  It was Scott boras that reached out and and pushed Alex to agree
• 3:14:28
  to opt out of that contract. It wasn't Alex and Alex came out
• 3:14:32
  and said that I had my and that's why he fired Scott Boris
• 3:14:35
  after that because he was so offset with why Scott wanted to
• 3:14:40
  do that during the World Series and make him the storyline.
• 3:14:43
  While the World Series was going on, very interesting stuff.
• 3:14:46
  I thought it was Sensational really great.
• 3:14:48
  Put HBO put another documentary, so very well put together.
• 3:14:52
  Yeah, I, I, again, I will get to jobless porn on the personal
• 3:14:55
  level in a day. Obviously being a teammate, his
• 3:14:56
  but it was interesting when I was a kid.
• 3:14:58
  Like, it was always one of the ones that because he was so
• 3:15:00
  polarizing, because he was so, like, in the Limelight it was
• 3:15:03
  easy to say, oh you get to take shots at him and obviously
• 3:15:05
  steroid debate. And again I was as a kid it's
• 3:15:08
  like all right he's cheating is he really not cheating?
• 3:15:10
  And then like later on I always maybe not as extreme initially
• 3:15:13
  as you were with the like everyone should be with the
• 3:15:15
  stir. Like, I always tend to side with
• 3:15:17
  the more of they were always a better player.
• 3:15:19
  I always said like, okay, the steroids might taint him from
• 3:15:21
  being considered the greatest baseball player of all time, but
• 3:15:24
  it's not going to be something that should tarnish his legacy
• 3:15:26
  because Obviously, he was a better athlete than Derek Jeter.
• 3:15:29
  Was, he was better defensively at shortstop than Derek Jeter
• 3:15:31
  was? And obviously, besides maybe the
• 3:15:33
  batting average by a little bit, like he was a better all-around
• 3:15:35
  hitter than Derek Jeter. Was it always kind of stole that
• 3:15:38
  line light. So now the steroid stuff maybe
• 3:15:39
  coming out publicly with it yet, too might have been interesting
• 3:15:42
  because what I was hearing, when the Aeron Scandal came out in
• 3:15:45
  2013, 2014 was he was starting in the minor leaks and it wasn't
• 3:15:49
  just even with the Texas Rangers like, you know, when he was
• 3:15:51
  playing a ball when he was playing coming up before he came
• 3:15:53
  up with the Mariners, that's where the 2014 investigation
• 3:15:56
  started. So yeah, maybe coming up public
• 3:15:58
  with, that shouldn't be that. But like you said it before, I
• 3:16:00
  only said, many times in the past, like the way, he's like
• 3:16:03
  influence all their players in the Yankees organization, the
• 3:16:05
  way he's influence. Other other people off the field
• 3:16:07
  too. Since then, I think is really
• 3:16:09
  changed about who he was and I'm sure like these types of
• 3:16:12
  personal things are showing. And by the way, he is the best.
• 3:16:16
  in my, I watch over Derek jet. And David Ortiz, who you can't
• 3:16:22
  even understand, I think he's the best.
• 3:16:24
  I love the way he goes into depth.
• 3:16:27
  What's going on in the games? And he is such a good baseball,
• 3:16:32
  knowledgeable person to have a conversation.
• 3:16:34
  You can tell that he just loves the game of baseball.
• 3:16:37
  So very much when he was with Pete Rose, before he rose rest
• 3:16:41
  in peace before he passed. When those two start talking
• 3:16:43
  about hitting I literally like, I froze because I'm like, This
• 3:16:50
  is to the greatest that you've seen.
• 3:16:52
  Do it steroids, know stereotypes.
• 3:16:54
  Who cares. You still gotta?
• 3:16:56
  I hand hit the ball. That's what you got to do and
• 3:17:00
  listening to like, How they made it.
• 3:17:03
  So simplistic when now, everything is so analytical and
• 3:17:08
  like just listening to those two and they would, they would sit
• 3:17:11
  there and talk, I was mesmerized just because it's like, As a
• 3:17:17
  kid. That loves baseball.
• 3:17:20
  Got the fortunate honor to be able to donate uniform.
• 3:17:24
  And be able to play with him. To hear like how they made it
• 3:17:31
  seem so easy and simple. But how hard it is?
• 3:17:38
  it just it boggles my mind and for me, like somebody that stood
• 3:17:44
  60 feet 6 inches, In those guys in the box and you knew you knew
• 3:17:50
  that they were better than you. They knew exactly how are going
• 3:17:55
  to attack him. What you're going to do, what
• 3:17:57
  your Tendencies are, what you throw in this town.
• 3:17:59
  What you throw in this count? And what a lot about it is, and
• 3:18:03
  I haven't watched the doc yet. Because it's for me.
• 3:18:09
  I'm going to at some point, but for me, I lived it for seven
• 3:18:13
  years. And I got to see it every day.
• 3:18:18
  And what people don't know. Is he recorded the game?
• 3:18:25
  He would go home and watch the game.
• 3:18:29
  What a lot of people don't know too, there's a time where I was
• 3:18:32
  struggling. And they didn't want me to throw
• 3:18:36
  a curveball and Alex is like, what a hell are you doing Java?
• 3:18:39
  Like why he goes, you can throw it for a strike.
• 3:18:42
  You can do this like get them off your slider.
• 3:18:48
  So legitimately I would look at Alex and Alex would call the
• 3:18:51
  game from third base in the way that he just understood
• 3:18:55
  baseball. Was beyond my imagination.
• 3:19:00
  because, Yeah, we all get there in like I was pretty good.
• 3:19:05
  I was okay you can compare better.
• 3:19:08
  There's like gears good. Of getting to the big leagues,
• 3:19:13
  right? And there's us that make it that
• 3:19:16
  spend, you know, a good amount of time.
• 3:19:18
  The big leaks. There's not a lot of us that
• 3:19:20
  have spent more than 10 years unfortunate enough to be part of
• 3:19:23
  that group. But when you're that good. and,
• 3:19:29
  you know, the game that well, it was, it was sometimes scary
• 3:19:35
  because he would just come back and He'd be like hey remember
• 3:19:40
  that 21 pitch when you should have went in and you threw it
• 3:19:43
  away and I'm like, what? He's like yeah, this is and it
• 3:19:48
  just it boggled my mind. He was the first person to buy
• 3:19:52
  me a suit ever. Never owned a suit.
• 3:19:56
  And still have them to this day. They still fit their little big
• 3:20:00
  now, actually. So that's kind of nice but he
• 3:20:04
  just, In. What people perceived about him?
• 3:20:11
  Is kind of when we were talking about Scooby why I asked
• 3:20:14
  questions about like, and asking and answering questions the
• 3:20:18
  police correct way or like. Do you want to be authentically
• 3:20:22
  us? And I think he was such a
• 3:20:24
  different level. Where he he and we've never
• 3:20:29
  obviously had this conversation. We've had plenty of nights
• 3:20:32
  together and shared great conversations.
• 3:20:35
  He was great to my family, he's great to my son. and so the way
• 3:20:40
  people perceive him from the outside perspective and that's
• 3:20:44
  why it's a little bit like weird for me to like watch this when
• 3:20:48
  you actually It's still weird for me.
• 3:20:51
  It's still weird for me. I sit here as a 40 year old man.
• 3:20:55
  And understand what I did was really, really cool.
• 3:20:59
  And I got to do something that I absolutely loved.
• 3:21:03
  I gotta be a kid every day going to work.
• 3:21:05
  I gotta be a kid. because we all dream of it and we don't ever
• 3:21:10
  think it's gonna happen and it did But he took it to like
• 3:21:14
  another level and he was just, he was so great to me and my
• 3:21:17
  family. but people saw like they I think they gravitate more to
• 3:21:23
  the negative because you didn't really know a lot of the person
• 3:21:27
  that he was in like the work that actually went into it.
• 3:21:32
  And steroids are no steroids, you still got to throw it, you
• 3:21:35
  still got to hit it, you still got to show up every day, right?
• 3:21:39
  and, He for me was just one person that I was very fortunate
• 3:21:45
  and I played a lot of Hall of Famers.
• 3:21:47
  I actually read his Hall of Famer me.
• 3:21:48
  He's all the same easily. And it doesn't matter if you
• 3:21:53
  have a plaque, I know some people live for that and that
• 3:21:56
  that's part of it. But also One Thing mo told me
• 3:22:00
  and we had this conversation, he goes, why don't you get in year
• 3:22:04
  one? Your stats don't change, they
• 3:22:07
  stay the same. Like that's never liked his
• 3:22:10
  stats will never change. Like, we are going to know
• 3:22:14
  Exactly at 3100 hits. He almost had 700.
• 3:22:18
  Home. 14 time, all star. We know what he was. and, I
• 3:22:24
  think people's perception and I think what he did a really good
• 3:22:27
  job because he's a very calculated individual.
• 3:22:31
  In everything that he does. He stays relevant because he
• 3:22:36
  knows and he's a smart smart man. and you look at all the
• 3:22:41
  things that he's done over in. You look at what he did and like
• 3:22:46
  when he was blasted on the paper and I was in Toronto when it
• 3:22:50
  happened And the picture was taken, he was staying at a
• 3:22:53
  different team Hotel, whatever blah, blah blah.
• 3:22:56
  And everybody was like, oh he's the most miserable person ever.
• 3:23:00
  He has done such a great job. Of.
• 3:23:05
  I guess building trust. I don't know if there's a better
• 3:23:08
  way to say it than that. because now like he's authentically
• 3:23:13
  being able to be him, Where sometimes we have to hide that
• 3:23:19
  I've always wormsley through my DUIs or all the other shit I've
• 3:23:24
  messed up. I did it.
• 3:23:26
  This is what I did. I was authentically me because
• 3:23:29
  that's the way I was raised and you brought up like things with
• 3:23:33
  his dad and all the other stuff, and you said that that doesn't
• 3:23:36
  do anything, but those things do shape you in a way that you
• 3:23:40
  don't really truly understand. Until you sometimes get older.
• 3:23:45
  And I think now he's becoming such a position.
• 3:23:49
  Where he's understanding because I'm a living years of my son's
• 3:23:54
  life. Yes.
• 3:23:55
  Did he come see me? Yes.
• 3:23:56
  Did you do those things? But you know, we're going.
• 3:23:59
  We're pulled in so many different directions.
• 3:24:02
  To where now, I don't want to miss a damn thing, I could have
• 3:24:05
  continued to play, but the look on my son's face.
• 3:24:10
  I'll tell you guys all one thing.
• 3:24:13
  And I'll get to it later in my segment, but you can always make
• 3:24:17
  more money. You can never make more time.
• 3:24:22
  And that is hit me. So, Hard and losing my father.
• 3:24:27
  Excuse me. But First Christmas.
• 3:24:34
  That I have my family. And my dad wasn't here.
• 3:24:39
  And when you start to realize those things, and it's better
• 3:24:44
  late than never, it's better late than never.
• 3:24:48
  But you authentically, get a bee yourself. and he has a platform
• 3:24:52
  where now people have thought of him in one way, and call him a
• 3:24:58
  cheater, do whatever you want to call him.
• 3:25:00
  But your authentically getting to know who he is, and I think
• 3:25:04
  we all as individuals. because you see us on a level where you
• 3:25:09
  get to see nine innings and you get to see the stories that are
• 3:25:11
  portrayed, But you are clinically.
• 3:25:14
  Don't know who truly genuinely. We are.
• 3:25:17
  And I think that is such a cool thing. when you're able to look
• 3:25:22
  yourself in the mirror and we all know the famous, Picture of
• 3:25:25
  him looking himself in the mirror, right?
• 3:25:28
  Well I think now he looks himself in the mirror and I
• 3:25:31
  haven't had a conversation with him about it. but he looks in
• 3:25:35
  the mirror and he sees The reason probably, why it was
• 3:25:39
  named that. Because he's not a rod anymore.
• 3:25:42
  And I don't think he's Alex. And I haven't seen the doc but
• 3:25:47
  based upon what she said, talking about being a dad and
• 3:25:49
  doing those things. Most important thing in my life
• 3:25:53
  is being Carter's father. But everybody can be a father.
• 3:25:57
  Not everybody can be a dad. and I think he's understanding that
• 3:26:02
  any and he's getting the whole realm and you look back and all
• 3:26:07
  the amazing things that you did. And your kids got to be a part
• 3:26:13
  of it. And that's one thing that Derek
• 3:26:16
  always said like, My kids will never know how good I was.
• 3:26:22
  And he got to share that, but he he fell like he was absent at
• 3:26:25
  times. And like I said, I need to watch
• 3:26:28
  it because it might give me a different perspective too.
• 3:26:30
  But Speaking from the heart, as a dad, I know how hard it is to
• 3:26:35
  miss stuff. Because you're pulled in 17
• 3:26:37
  different directions and you got to strike by the match is hot.
• 3:26:41
  And you got to do these things, but I think. the gist of
• 3:26:46
  everything that I'm saying is just, The honesty with yourself
• 3:26:50
  sometimes is very hard to do and I'm not just talking about
• 3:26:54
  baseball players. I'm talking about us as
• 3:26:58
  individuals as friends as brothers as husbands as
• 3:27:03
  everything. It's so hard sometimes to be
• 3:27:06
  able to do that. And when you're able just to
• 3:27:08
  like Let It Go and like, Be who you authentically are.
• 3:27:16
  It's such a great feeling. And I hope we all get to do
• 3:27:20
  that. I've been able to do it, I've
• 3:27:22
  messed up. I have been great.
• 3:27:25
  I've been awful. I have been an absent father.
• 3:27:31
  but I've learned from it all and when you authentically, be able
• 3:27:34
  to look yourself in the mirror And be like, you know what?
• 3:27:37
  All of that. You know what I'm doing?
• 3:27:40
  I'm staying on my own two feet. And when we all get that
• 3:27:46
  reflection. because there's one thing we have to do, we, we have
• 3:27:52
  to look ourselves in the mirror and am I the person that I
• 3:27:56
  really am or is that the person people see?
• 3:28:01
  Then your circle gets really small.
• 3:28:04
  Because there's a lot of people that see you in one light, but
• 3:28:07
  don't really know authentically who you are.
• 3:28:10
  And when you are that person, your circle gets really small.
• 3:28:15
  And for me, it's the understanding. based upon what
• 3:28:22
  you've said in in the documentary, in what he's done
• 3:28:25
  is like I hope he is doing that and he feels that and I know
• 3:28:30
  there's there's some things left out There's one huge part of
• 3:28:35
  what his life involved, that wasn't involved.
• 3:28:40
  But also to their things in our life too where that needs to be
• 3:28:43
  for us that needs to be for us and that's helped.
• 3:28:46
  And and that is okay. But that's the realization of
• 3:28:50
  authentically being yourself is just being able to recognize
• 3:28:55
  that. And know that they are precious
• 3:28:58
  things. Good and bad.
• 3:29:02
  That need to. Stay with us.
• 3:29:06
  And that's, that's where it stays.
• 3:29:08
  But He was great to me, he was great to my family.
• 3:29:12
  He was great to my father, And, you know, it's it's exciting to
• 3:29:18
  see. When you know somebody.
• 3:29:23
  And you know, people's perceptions of them.
• 3:29:27
  Because perception always isn't reality.
• 3:29:28
  It's not and now you kind of get to see where we become
• 3:29:35
  vulnerable and you say, because It's not easy like We're Men,
• 3:29:40
  right? We're men.
• 3:29:43
  That's not easy for us to be vulnerable and admit our faults
• 3:29:46
  and admit what I was doing. And Is there probably bits and
• 3:29:50
  pieces left out. Yeah.
• 3:29:51
  But you know what? That's okay.
• 3:29:53
  But people are seeing authentically who he is. and
• 3:29:56
  now, They forget all the other things like when, when you lie.
• 3:30:03
  you can bet it by lying about another line and then you don't
• 3:30:06
  really know the truth, and it's awesome to see in every context
• 3:30:13
  of all these things, when we as men and women, I'm not saying
• 3:30:19
  which just us When we authentically know ourselves,
• 3:30:23
  and I need to watch it, I really do.
• 3:30:26
  I think you do because I think you would, you would understand
• 3:30:29
  that Alex was really trying to understand who he was, not just
• 3:30:35
  as a man, and not just as a father, but as a regular person,
• 3:30:39
  not just as a baseball player and I think he was, I think he
• 3:30:43
  got lost through the years because he said that when I was
• 3:30:48
  Alex, everybody, you know, everybody can understand me and
• 3:30:52
  everybody liked me. And when I was A-Rod, I was, I,
• 3:30:56
  I thought of myself, as somebody bigger than everybody else, and
• 3:31:01
  that I didn't care about what people were saying about me, as
• 3:31:04
  long as I was out there doing my thing and showing off.
• 3:31:08
  And and being the I I guess the narcissist that he was and and
• 3:31:13
  he was he admitted it, I was a narcissist.
• 3:31:15
  I was, I was I loved myself so much I could care less about
• 3:31:19
  everybody else around me. And you and he admitted it, he
• 3:31:22
  admitted it. And that's why it was Alex vs.
• 3:31:25
  What I was Alex, I was easygoing, fun energetic, easy
• 3:31:30
  to talk to and when I was a rod you I would tell you to go after
• 3:31:34
  yourself and, you know, I could care less what, you know, that
• 3:31:36
  was one thing for me because I was a kid from north side of
• 3:31:39
  Lincoln. My mom.
• 3:31:42
  She's to come to addiction and whatever, and I grew up with
• 3:31:45
  that, my dad was in the prison for 30 years. and I didn't grow
• 3:31:50
  up in the best part and so I didn't care who you were like
• 3:31:54
  yeah, I watched you growing up but like at the end of the day,
• 3:31:58
  I put my drawers on the same way you do.
• 3:32:00
  I wipe my ass the same way you do.
• 3:32:02
  Yeah, like do the same stuff. and so I never cared like I just
• 3:32:08
  I didn't like it was harder for me going into double and triple
• 3:32:14
  A because you know, everybody had this and then I got I got to
• 3:32:18
  the big league and I'm like Well damn, I got here.
• 3:32:22
  I'm the same as y'all like we do the same thing.
• 3:32:24
  We shower, we do all this stuff so It's just it's really cool to
• 3:32:29
  hear from a different perspective of somebody from the
• 3:32:31
  outside looking in. And hearing, that's that's what
• 3:32:36
  you took from it. Because everybody can take a
• 3:32:38
  little bit, you know, bits and pieces from it where it's like,
• 3:32:41
  oh maybe he wasn't a dick. Maybe he was just so, you know,
• 3:32:44
  a job. I I loved Alex Rodriguez, I love
• 3:32:48
  know, I loved him. I everybody would pick on him
• 3:32:51
  and boo him. I rooted for him, I loved him.
• 3:32:55
  And I was in a Derek Jeter. Fad my friend has Derek Jeter,
• 3:32:59
  pictures all over his house and I'm like, yeah, where's Alex?
• 3:33:02
  I can't stand him, he's right. You can't stand out.
• 3:33:06
  I was the same way. I love Dave, Rod.
• 3:33:09
  I was one of his last supporters going to the stadium, you know.
• 3:33:12
  Rooting for him. When everyone was doing those
• 3:33:14
  that last year and a half job, the whole stadium.
• 3:33:17
  Boom, mercilessly. It felt like because he was
• 3:33:20
  suing the team by the end when he sued the team, that's when he
• 3:33:24
  lost me. I just didn't understand what
• 3:33:26
  the heck he was doing at that point.
• 3:33:27
  He didn't know what he was doing, he admitted.
• 3:33:29
  Yeah, I think that's the point right?
• 3:33:30
  Like he was you was just such a narcissist like he Just had to
• 3:33:35
  win this argument or whatever the heck it was.
• 3:33:37
  However, he could, I don't know. It was stupid but he want help
• 3:33:42
  the Yankees win that Championship.
• 3:33:43
  Yeah, played really well in that series.
• 3:33:45
  It's an MVP. He was a great player, man.
• 3:33:48
  That's fantastic. I don't think there's anybody
• 3:33:50
  that can take that away from him.
• 3:33:51
  And and you want to ask me who, honestly, who the top five
• 3:33:55
  players of all time? Alex is definitely on my top
• 3:33:58
  five. I don't think anybody could
• 3:34:00
  argue that. When you look at those numbers
• 3:34:01
  and how Sensational time all day, Bruce all time, all time.
• 3:34:07
  You look at those numbers all the time. 100% all time you
• 3:34:12
  bring up, Ty. Cobb type was one of those
• 3:34:14
  miserable human beings. Yeah.
• 3:34:15
  Playing they say he was like, they think he murdered a couple
• 3:34:18
  of people. Yeah, there's there's stories
• 3:34:20
  about Ty Cobb. There was a bad movie about Ty.
• 3:34:23
  Cobb back in the day, I don't think they've ever done it.
• 3:34:25
  Real Justice. How miserable the human tiger
• 3:34:29
  might have been? It's crazy, like stories are you
• 3:34:31
  here? And it's just like, and what,
• 3:34:35
  what do we talk about to like It's numbers, right?
• 3:34:40
  The they don't lie like they're legitimately like I don't care
• 3:34:45
  if you're playing t-ball, you get 3100 hits that's pretty damn
• 3:34:48
  good. But you know, the thing about
• 3:34:51
  numbers is you could spin them however you want to spend them.
• 3:34:54
  And when it gets to like these Hall of Fame people, you know
• 3:34:57
  they're gonna have the their narratives as you know.
• 3:34:59
  And the narrative for A-Rod is going to be, he's a bad guy who
• 3:35:03
  disgraced the game and it doesn't matter what his numbers
• 3:35:06
  are until the day, people are just like, what are we doing?
• 3:35:10
  Not putting this guy in, that's always should.
• 3:35:12
  That's what I hate exactly what happened to Pete Rose, like
• 3:35:15
  similar rows. Like he got his due Before you
• 3:35:19
  could get his dude, right. He passed and got his dude like
• 3:35:23
  Give it give it where it needs to be when it needs to happen.
• 3:35:27
  Like I bring it, I bring it up again and I'm just like Your
• 3:35:32
  numbers don't change. You'll become eligible for the
• 3:35:35
  Hall of Fame. Your number.
• 3:35:37
  Let's not like they went down. It's not like, we're seeing
• 3:35:40
  Philip Rivers where his clock starts over again, like these
• 3:35:44
  dudes numbers, don't change, man.
• 3:35:46
  And it's like, so you're going to vote for me one year because
• 3:35:50
  then the human element comes in. Where?
• 3:35:52
  Oh, I like this guy better or he showed me in an interview one
• 3:35:56
  time. So I'm not gonna like I mean,
• 3:36:00
  agero. Great example.
• 3:36:02
  Derek, great example. The dude that left Derek off was
• 3:36:06
  like, I thought he was already in the Hall of Fame.
• 3:36:08
  Why would I vote for him? Yeah.
• 3:36:11
  I I don't know about any of that.
• 3:36:13
  I personally just know that when I watched the A-Rod plays entire
• 3:36:18
  career he was the guy that every team had to worry about in the
• 3:36:22
  lineup. No question everywhere he was
• 3:36:23
  and he was surrounded. When he first started by Ken
• 3:36:26
  Griffey Junior, then he moved around to that stacked Texas
• 3:36:29
  team. With, I mean palmeiro, One
• 3:36:33
  Direction is one gets up, people forget about Juan Gonzalez and I
• 3:36:36
  like 130 hit 130 Stakes at the break.
• 3:36:41
  I want to say, I want to say something all in 2009, I don't
• 3:36:45
  think people in and they came into this documentary.
• 3:36:47
  Alex Rodriguez was coming off. His hip surgery that Yankees
• 3:36:51
  were really, really bad and the Yankees house Steinberg, rushed
• 3:36:56
  him back, rushed him back and, and the Yankees won 70% of their
• 3:37:02
  games. When he came back, and he wasn't
• 3:37:04
  even 100% healthy yet. And they rushed him back because
• 3:37:07
  the Yankees were playing so bad. It's, it's crazy.
• 3:37:10
  And The numbers he was putting up.
• 3:37:12
  I don't even know if we'll ever see anything like that again.
• 3:37:17
  So I I just think I I understand why people don't like him, but
• 3:37:22
  you can't take away greatness. Greatness is greatness.
• 3:37:26
  And Alex Rodriguez was great. And I don't understand why these
• 3:37:31
  writers, don't understand why he did it.
• 3:37:34
  I understand why he did it. I think Alex understands why he
• 3:37:38
  did it. I don't understand why anybody
• 3:37:40
  would even leave this man out of the Hall of Fame when he has
• 3:37:44
  proven time and time again that we might never see a player of
• 3:37:48
  this magnitude and yes, I absolutely believe.
• 3:37:50
  Alex Rodriguez is a top five player of all time.
• 3:37:54
  You can book that when you look and compare his numbers.
• 3:37:57
  This guy was the best shortstop as a third baseman in all of the
• 3:38:02
  league, the best. It's not even close.
• 3:38:05
  So for him to go to third base, the way he did when he was by
• 3:38:09
  far, do he was the best infield? In baseball and he went to Third
• 3:38:12
  Base, never even playing the position.
• 3:38:14
  I, I think it's it's incredible. It's incredible feat.
• 3:38:19
  When you're you're playing 10 years of your career as in a
• 3:38:22
  hard one of the hardest positions on on the dime and
• 3:38:24
  then moved to Third Base because oh you have another Hall of
• 3:38:27
  Famer who by the way, was at one point.
• 3:38:28
  Your best friend and you move to Third Base because you want to
• 3:38:32
  do it for the better of the team that to me says what Alex
• 3:38:36
  Rodriguez was. So that's just my opinion and we
• 3:38:39
  got to move on but it was a great documentary and I got to
• 3:38:44
  give an A+ to HBO. I thought they were Sensational,
• 3:38:48
  really was great and good. Good job for Alex to open up
• 3:38:52
  like that, and not be afraid to be himself and I think that's
• 3:38:56
  what he did. He really came out and and
• 3:38:58
  wasn't himself. But the, the things that I
• 3:39:03
  thought he was as a person and the things that I now, think of
• 3:39:06
  him as a person changes, my mind, or should change a
• 3:39:10
  writers, Mind on why he should be in the Hall of Fame.
• 3:39:12
  That's just my opinion. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:39:16
  we have to get into our end of the Year Awards and I I wanted
• 3:39:22
  to get into this because The NFL is over now.
• 3:39:26
  I mean, we have one more week, and there's a lot of awards,
• 3:39:30
  funny Awards. I gotta give to some of these
• 3:39:33
  players and I told the guys come up with funny Awards, you know,
• 3:39:37
  give me, give me something that can make people laugh.
• 3:39:40
  So, my first mentioned yeah, listens, yes request.
• 3:39:44
  Yes, go ahead. These are called the mouth ease.
• 3:39:47
  Yeah. The right.
• 3:39:48
  As you can see, the trophy for the mouthy is a golden niffin.
• 3:39:53
  It is absolutely the trophy for. It could only one thing could be
• 3:39:57
  the camo and blue blazer, nithin emblazoned in gold trim, does it
• 3:40:01
  come back with Alicia? I should have put the leash in
• 3:40:05
  there next year. We'll get like in action figure
• 3:40:07
  where the leash like is retractable for Nathan but I
• 3:40:11
  mean what a beautiful end of the year celebration Arrow marks.
• 3:40:15
  We have the mouth, he's here, you know, everyone's got a few.
• 3:40:19
  Yes, I only go around myself but Errol.
• 3:40:22
  Why don't you tell us? You know, who You want to go,
• 3:40:25
  whatever order. Yes.
• 3:40:26
  And then we'll just lay out some of our Awards.
• 3:40:29
  All right, so we'll go around in a circle.
• 3:40:30
  I've got A little fun. So my number one, Award, I'm
• 3:40:34
  going to wreck. The ugliest draft pick of the
• 3:40:40
  Year, okay? And that's, I know this and that
• 3:40:45
  goes to know other than the 5th. Well, was supposed to went from
• 3:40:50
  five to number two, in a blink of an eye.
• 3:40:53
  And that is Travis, the gremlin Hunter who practically played
• 3:40:59
  less than I think he played ten games this year was absolutely
• 3:41:02
  humiliating and by the way after he was out for the season, they
• 3:41:07
  started to win. So what I mean seriously think
• 3:41:11
  about it, they weren't even going into they were going to
• 3:41:13
  make the playoffs and they went from one of the worst teams in
• 3:41:17
  the AFC to one of the best. I honestly I would say the
• 3:41:21
  ugliest draft pick of the year would go to Travis the gremlin
• 3:41:26
  Hunter who had one touchdown and what I think he hit 200 yards it
• 3:41:31
  was horrible and barely. Yeah, it was dead games.
• 3:41:34
  So Both by number one award for the year would go to the ugliest
• 3:41:42
  draft pick of the year and that's Travis, the gremlin
• 3:41:44
  Hunter speaking. Oh what?
• 3:41:45
  What a great award Travis is not here to accept it tonight Errol
• 3:41:50
  mainly because I think he probably would hate your guts.
• 3:41:52
  You ever met him. He probably does, but I did meet
• 3:41:55
  him. But I did.
• 3:41:56
  We will send him the golden this in the mail.
• 3:42:00
  I don't think he'll I think he'll throw it out.
• 3:42:01
  I don't think he wants to look at that blue blazer.
• 3:42:06
  All right, so I'll continue with a common thing that said on this
• 3:42:09
  show. And my first award is going to
• 3:42:11
  be the lja script writing award, which one of LeBron James's
• 3:42:15
  minions as he likes to call him, we'll get the award this year.
• 3:42:18
  And for the winner that I'm gonna give it to.
• 3:42:22
  It's a tough competition. You have out of silver, you
• 3:42:24
  probably James, you could give it to them, but I'm gonna give
• 3:42:26
  it. Hold on a second, we're going.
• 3:42:28
  We're going football here. We're not going, he's all
• 3:42:30
  football. Could be any anything else,
• 3:42:33
  anything. So 25, it's the end of the
• 3:42:36
  football. See, all right, all right, all
• 3:42:38
  right here, the LJ script writing award goes to David
• 3:42:44
  Jones, manipulation of himself in the entire NBA betting
• 3:42:48
  Scandal connected with everybody connected with LeBron and
• 3:42:51
  claiming. He wasn't connecting with a
• 3:42:52
  bronze game playing now nobody else doing with LeBron was
• 3:42:55
  involved with it really so there could have been a lot of
• 3:42:57
  options, brought any date, Adam Silver, all the manipulation
• 3:43:00
  with the NBA draft. But no, I'm gonna give it to
• 3:43:02
  Dave and Joe, Wow, first blocks a punt and runs it in.
• 3:43:06
  For I he blocks a kick and runs it in for a touchdown.
• 3:43:12
  But he put pretty cool, Incredible.
• 3:43:13
  They're coming back, aren't they?
• 3:43:15
  That's crazy. Yes.
• 3:43:16
  Having like the legendary Knight and speaking of that, I've got
• 3:43:20
  the legendary award that I'm going to name for the man who
• 3:43:25
  legendarily sat in his two. Legendary suite for five rounds
• 3:43:31
  in the NFL draft this year when he thought he was going first or
• 3:43:35
  second overall. Yes, the legendary award for
• 3:43:39
  2025 can only go to shedeur Sanders.
• 3:43:44
  If you remember during draft night, he had that done up room
• 3:43:48
  with his two, legendary brand for what I guess that's making
• 3:43:53
  him probably all of the money because he's not making a ton in
• 3:43:56
  the NFL, he's playing. I would say mediocre at best is
• 3:44:01
  to be kind to how he's played this year.
• 3:44:04
  They did get a win. I'm kind of like he touched down
• 3:44:08
  pass. He kind of just threw it up and
• 3:44:09
  the defender didn't make it really good play.
• 3:44:11
  I wouldn't really give him too much credit on that one either.
• 3:44:13
  But you know what they got the win shoulder is a legendary
• 3:44:18
  award shoulder Sanders. I'm going.
• 3:44:22
  On arrows. This is the Deferred award. and
• 3:44:29
  the Deferred award goes to all other 2019, teams other Than the
• 3:44:35
  Dodgers. because, as our Subsequent co-host and the mouth
• 3:44:42
  himself. Started referring to them as the
• 3:44:46
  DD. Why didn't everybody else do it?
• 3:44:50
  So that's why they get the Deferred mouthy award for not
• 3:44:54
  doing what the Dodgers, and because they won two years in a
• 3:44:58
  row. Interesting.
• 3:45:02
  You have anything back to back to you are?
• 3:45:04
  Oh, Tommy anything. Oh, well, I can say, it's gonna
• 3:45:08
  be a little more on football, but One that I actually had off
• 3:45:12
  the top of my mind was gonna be rewarded to the best game of the
• 3:45:16
  year. So, now I'm gonna have to it's
• 3:45:18
  gonna be somewhat of a co-winner, because I can't
• 3:45:20
  choose between these two, but I'm gonna have to go with the
• 3:45:22
  first Sunday Night Football game between the bills, and Ravens,
• 3:45:26
  and absolute amazing, shootout. And then, just saw a week ago,
• 3:45:29
  we could go to with the Seahawks and the Rams, you know, those
• 3:45:31
  two games absolutes. Shootouts like I said, we
• 3:45:33
  started off with a Ravens and Bills game that game was
• 3:45:37
  absolutely phenomenal. Ravens, Derrick, Henry,
• 3:45:40
  accidentally put it on the floor, gave it up for the Ravens
• 3:45:42
  and the bills. Absolutely one.
• 3:45:43
  That shootout. Absolutely climbing back and
• 3:45:45
  another game where their climbing back was the Seattle
• 3:45:48
  Seahawks. Just like we mentioned the last
• 3:45:49
  couple weeks. Um, right now, looking at poised
• 3:45:52
  to be number one seed right now in the NFC and it really was
• 3:45:55
  because they actually had that very, very impressive.
• 3:45:58
  When coming back the way they did against Sean McVay, and
• 3:46:00
  those Rams with Matthew Stafford leading.
• 3:46:02
  The MVP. Amazing game.
• 3:46:04
  Absolutely amazing game. One of the best Thursday night
• 3:46:06
  games I've ever seen. So it's gonna be a winner
• 3:46:10
  between Thursday night, Seahawks Rams, and bills and Ravens for
• 3:46:15
  us football game of the year. All right.
• 3:46:19
  My my next award goes to my Fool's Gold Team of the Year and
• 3:46:27
  my Fool's goal team of the year, goes to the New England Patriots
• 3:46:32
  who has had a sensational year won 10 games in a row and
• 3:46:36
  they're in one of the easiest divisions in all the football
• 3:46:39
  because you got to play. Yeah, you got to play all these
• 3:46:42
  garbage teams in Miami actually picked up and actually played a
• 3:46:46
  little bit better at the end of the season, but they've been so
• 3:46:49
  bad all season long and the way their schedule was set up the
• 3:46:53
  before the season started, they had the third easiest schedule
• 3:46:56
  in NFL history. Now, yeah, I got to play what's
• 3:46:59
  on your schedule. But everybody talking about
• 3:47:01
  Drake and Drake made the MVP because it is bad game by
• 3:47:05
  Matthew Stafford. Nevertheless, I, I think it was
• 3:47:09
  full goal Fool's Gold because this team is gonna get into the
• 3:47:12
  playoffs, and I wouldn't even be surprised if they get knocked
• 3:47:15
  out in the first while. And they, they get the bye week,
• 3:47:17
  if they get the number one seeds.
• 3:47:19
  So, and right now the Broncos have the number one seats.
• 3:47:21
  So, all right, it they're not gonna get the pie week but
• 3:47:24
  nevertheless, it's my Fool's goal.
• 3:47:26
  My full goal. War goes to the New England
• 3:47:29
  Patriots because I really think they're not that good.
• 3:47:33
  So, all right, so I'm gonna go to the mouthful that didn't
• 3:47:38
  perform the mouth full. Collapse of the New York Mets,
• 3:47:43
  winning the worst choke job of the year, with all the Talking,
• 3:47:46
  the all the mouths that were hyping up this New York and that
• 3:47:50
  seemed in the beginning of the year, all the methods.
• 3:47:51
  Yeah. And obviously, the big prize in
• 3:47:54
  one Soto, there was a carryover from the, the miracle come back.
• 3:47:57
  They had to make the playoffs the year before they beat the
• 3:48:00
  Phillies, which again, we took the old Mets fans are going to
• 3:48:04
  take to that but then they do the exact opposite in 2025 with
• 3:48:07
  higher expectations. They probably the worst single
• 3:48:09
  trade deadline, you could imagine with getting all those
• 3:48:11
  relievers and Cedric Mullins that didn't pan out and what do
• 3:48:15
  they do? They fall apart in historic
• 3:48:17
  fashion, all mouth, no performance.
• 3:48:21
  Interesting. Oh, That's our well, my dates in
• 3:48:25
  college. I don't even want to know why
• 3:48:29
  you gave her. All those dates.
• 3:48:34
  But I I got I mean as soon as I tell you the name of the
• 3:48:39
  wardell's gonna know exactly who this is for.
• 3:48:41
  This is the bag of donuts award. For 2025 worst football
• 3:48:47
  executive of the year and it can only go to one man.
• 3:48:51
  Yes. Joey Baggett Donuts himself, Joe
• 3:48:55
  Schoen. What a, what, a remarkable,
• 3:48:57
  offseason once again, if you remember correctly.
• 3:49:01
  It was still in the year 2025, where saquon Barkley, who Joe
• 3:49:06
  Schoen thought that, you know, we could replace him with Devin
• 3:49:09
  Singletary and Jon Runyan blocked better.
• 3:49:12
  So we'll just get those two guys for the prices sake, Juan
• 3:49:16
  Barkley. Let him go to the Eagles.
• 3:49:17
  Sure enough, 2024 puts up to 2000 yards, rushing 2025.
• 3:49:22
  He becomes Super Bowl champion. And what do we follow up that
• 3:49:26
  disaster with in the off-season, a bunch of garbage.
• 3:49:29
  Best retained free agent in this past season.
• 3:49:33
  Joe Schoen looks like you got Paulson.
• 3:49:36
  The Depot who is been below average at corner and hurt as he
• 3:49:42
  was previously where they had him in.
• 3:49:44
  New Orleans. The other guys that they
• 3:49:47
  retained. Greg van Roden, what a great
• 3:49:49
  guard. That's your money on Jets
• 3:49:52
  Legends. They played him all year because
• 3:49:54
  literally Evan Neil was worse, which is hard to believe, but I
• 3:50:00
  guess he was worse. Joan Holland.
• 3:50:01
  Spent a lot of money on Jevon Holland.
• 3:50:03
  He isn't good at football. We have Roy, Robertson Harris.
• 3:50:09
  That actually was a pretty good movie.
• 3:50:10
  He's been pretty good at defensive tackle, obviously the
• 3:50:13
  draft pick of Dart. Kind of get locked into that.
• 3:50:17
  Say that he did a good job with dart.
• 3:50:19
  I'll give him the one thing. And one thing is all you need to
• 3:50:23
  get the bag of donuts award. Joey you get to keep your job.
• 3:50:27
  For some reason until further notice because you made one good
• 3:50:32
  choice of getting jaxson dart. All the, we all know that was
• 3:50:35
  Staples pick Joey bagadonuts. Interesting.
• 3:50:41
  Minds Minds more of a I was going through this and I was
• 3:50:46
  kind of NFL Focus, but I was like If we're gonna go off the
• 3:50:50
  rails a little bit and I wrote down a bunch of ideas.
• 3:50:54
  And I was like, you know what, one minus is, first of all,
• 3:50:57
  being so grateful and honored to be with you guys every week. but
• 3:51:03
  mine's going to be the The popcorn award, nice, my name is
• 3:51:09
  gonna be a popcorn award for two of our very, very important
• 3:51:14
  people. That make me so happy when they
• 3:51:19
  start going back and forth, I don't care if it's fantasy
• 3:51:23
  football, if it's Giants and jet.
• 3:51:26
  I don't care. I get so excited to wait for
• 3:51:30
  Speedy to send me a message. Where is your popcorn?
• 3:51:32
  The popcorn doesn't leave the new shipment in that.
• 3:51:35
  I'm gonna shoot all you guys. I'm gonna need all your
• 3:51:37
  addresses but the popcorn award goes to none other than our
• 3:51:44
  executive producer. Aaron Fishman and Mr. Arrow
• 3:51:49
  marks I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
• 3:51:54
  I was gonna have some new popcorn intros coming in for
• 3:51:58
  2026 better believe. Hey I'm working right now.
• 3:52:02
  All right, so we got to move the segment along quicker, or I'm
• 3:52:06
  only gonna do one more. If you have a few more, I've got
• 3:52:09
  two more, but I'll let you go and then I'll give you my two.
• 3:52:13
  I'm done. You have one more two.
• 3:52:15
  I want to share another one, more other one more time.
• 3:52:18
  All right. Go ahead, Tommy.
• 3:52:19
  Yeah. Mine is kind of quick but I'm
• 3:52:20
  gonna go with the best touchdown celebration.
• 3:52:24
  I don't know if you guys saw this the other day but Jedi
• 3:52:26
  Walker from the Bears. The other day called a touchdown
• 3:52:29
  and I thought this was kind of neat.
• 3:52:30
  He did this little if it has one too by the way.
• 3:52:32
  How does he? Okay cool.
• 3:52:33
  So we'll go with Ethan afterwards but he did this kind
• 3:52:35
  of juby slide after so scoring a touchdown.
• 3:52:39
  I don't even know how he did. It looks like he's actually
• 3:52:41
  gliding so I thought that was kind of neat.
• 3:52:43
  You know. The Bears are gonna be moving on
• 3:52:46
  into the postseason. Let's look at that one more
• 3:52:48
  time, but yeah, Bears gonna move on to the postseason playing.
• 3:52:51
  Absolutely amazing football amazingly, coached amazingly
• 3:52:54
  quarterback team and amazingly test stylish with the touchdown
• 3:52:58
  celebration. So yeah, best touchdown
• 3:53:01
  celebration, got to go to today Walker on the Bears.
• 3:53:04
  All right, I'll finish it off. I bet you should work executive
• 3:53:08
  of the NFL but I I don't think anyone had a worse year so this
• 3:53:12
  goes to the why did he ever have a job award?
• 3:53:14
  That would go to Nico Harris and he started off.
• 3:53:18
  The year badly, he finished off the year badly.
• 3:53:20
  Trying to justify his plan that he claimed.
• 3:53:23
  He had after a pretty good 2024. Getting a trade to those trade
• 3:53:26
  deadline move to help the Maverick get into the NBA
• 3:53:29
  Finals. His 2025 couldn't have gone for
• 3:53:31
  the worst. He just said, all right, I'm
• 3:53:33
  gonna throw out there a trade to get trade the second best player
• 3:53:36
  or the best player in the NBA for Anthony Davis and he gets
• 3:53:40
  hurt the first week and then he tries to justify it and then he
• 3:53:43
  gets a gifted Cooper Flagg. Yay, that one you could probably
• 3:53:47
  follow up as another one that we could have done with the the
• 3:53:49
  great Chuck Klosterman that that take.
• 3:53:51
  But nevertheless, they got gifted Cooper Flagg and then all
• 3:53:54
  of a sudden he's trying to say, oh I'm gonna justify her.
• 3:53:56
  Then he gets fired and yeah, maybe probably six months, too
• 3:54:00
  late. So executive of the Year.
• 3:54:01
  Why do you ever job Nico Harrison it gets my last award.
• 3:54:04
  How's it going, buddy? Have a job.
• 3:54:07
  I guess that Cooper Flagg pick was so easy.
• 3:54:09
  Even Nico Harrison couldn't screw that one up apparel away.
• 3:54:13
  Just there. He could have traded him after
• 3:54:15
  two years out of nowhere. Sure?
• 3:54:17
  Because she likes to drink like beer after games.
• 3:54:19
  I'm not gonna give the Thumbelina Ward out to Josh Hart
• 3:54:23
  right now but I do have the Mizzou haras Revenge award that
• 3:54:30
  has to be giving out. You already mentioned one of the
• 3:54:32
  gamblers Speedy. I'm gonna go to the other guy.
• 3:54:35
  The guy who took six baseballs and dirted them, six times in a
• 3:54:41
  row. When he is notoriously, one of
• 3:54:44
  the best control for relief pitchers in the game.
• 3:54:48
  One of the best pictures in the game.
• 3:54:49
  Emmanuel Claus, say the former Cleveland Guardians pitcher, who
• 3:54:55
  was probably never gonna be allowed to pitch ever again.
• 3:54:58
  You get this award circus, you ain't getting anything else
• 3:55:01
  other than jail time after what you've done in this situation.
• 3:55:05
  Unbelievable apparently only did it as Java put in our chat for
• 3:55:09
  15,000 dollars. I really hope there's more to
• 3:55:14
  the story than that is, that's out of control, stupid, and
• 3:55:18
  there has to be more, but because of the story, as we know
• 3:55:22
  it mizuhara is Revenge. The award goes to Emmanuel Clase
• 3:55:27
  in, just like school on Sunday, the class A has no class. all
• 3:55:34
  right, I got two Awards, ladies and gentlemen, I've got the
• 3:55:37
  Willie Whopper, the Willie, Whoppers award, I'm gonna do a
• 3:55:45
  whopping on this guy, it goes to executive of the Cincinnati
• 3:55:50
  Bengals, Duke Tobin, however, way you want to pronounce his
• 3:55:55
  name. And they're just a mockery of
• 3:55:58
  this organization in the offseason.
• 3:56:00
  Not really leaving, Trey Hendricks saying to hang until
• 3:56:04
  the end of the end of the offseason, not giving him a
• 3:56:07
  chance to really work out and train with the team.
• 3:56:09
  And then you go into a season where you've had, you drafted,
• 3:56:12
  you drafted a defensive lineman. That barely even played some
• 3:56:16
  people even says, shouldn't have been a first round draft pick.
• 3:56:19
  And now, you're wondering what's going on with Joe burrow, just
• 3:56:23
  so Pearl. Even want to be there anymore.
• 3:56:25
  I, I mean everything and sit out of his falling apart.
• 3:56:28
  And who are we gonna play? We gonna play the coach or the
• 3:56:31
  guy running the show? Ah my willy Whopper of the year
• 3:56:36
  and I'm doing a whopping on him is for Duke Tobin who is an
• 3:56:40
  absolute joke? Stupid dumb ridiculous.
• 3:56:44
  That's perfect. And my final award goes to, and
• 3:56:48
  I'm gonna find this over here because I'm going to give it to
• 3:56:50
  it. You want to jerk me off?
• 3:56:52
  Well, the jerk me off award and I, I will say this, I'm not
• 3:56:58
  jerking this guy off but somebody's gonna be jerking him
• 3:57:02
  off one way or another and that goes to Victor webinar who has
• 3:57:09
  Just bursted off to see. Now, I'm not a big weapon, I'm a
• 3:57:12
  fan but I, I gotta give him a little bit of credit.
• 3:57:14
  The guy plays 25 minutes a night and he's putting up the numbers
• 3:57:17
  that he's putting up. It's pretty damn amazing.
• 3:57:19
  And somebody might be jerking him off, you're gonna have to
• 3:57:23
  probably get climb the ladder or bring the ladder out to get, you
• 3:57:27
  know, get a hold of that thing or if the hangs to the ground.
• 3:57:29
  But what he has done so far early in the season early in the
• 3:57:33
  season is Britain pretty amazing. 25 minutes he's putting
• 3:57:37
  up ridiculous number is I I mean Michael Jordan asked know but
• 3:57:43
  this guy is showing showing me off on some of the takes that I
• 3:57:47
  have had against him over to last couple of years, so I will
• 3:57:52
  give him the jerk me off award. So there you go.
• 3:57:55
  Victor webinar. Hey, great way to finish us off.
• 3:58:01
  That's all right. Ladies and Gentlemen, let's go
• 3:58:09
  to our Sportsmen that we got a lot more to go.
• 3:58:13
  This is the Java and the mouth, Sportsman it.
• 3:58:16
  All right guys, Aaron Fishman here with your Sportsman, got a
• 3:58:21
  couple of stories before we get into the scores this evening.
• 3:58:24
  According to CNN, former two-time unified heavyweight
• 3:58:27
  boxing champion. Anthony Joshua was hospitalized
• 3:58:31
  in Nigeria after being involved in a fatal car crash that
• 3:58:35
  claimed two lives of the friends of his apparently.
• 3:58:38
  The car Joshua was traveling in lost control and struck the park
• 3:58:41
  truck leading to the injuries and fatalities.
• 3:58:43
  Apparently, Joshua is doing well and suffered only minor bruises.
• 3:58:47
  He was visiting his ancestral home after defeating YouTube,
• 3:58:50
  sensation, Jake. Paul, and a sixth round knockout
• 3:58:53
  couple weeks ago that broke Paul's jaw in two places.
• 3:58:57
  Hopefully, this incident doesn't prevent a possible matchup
• 3:59:00
  between Joshua and the currently retired Tyson Fury some of that
• 3:59:04
  boxing fans. Specially British boxing fans
• 3:59:06
  have been hoping for for some time but obviously Thoughts with
• 3:59:09
  Joshua and his fans and family and his friends.
• 3:59:13
  Their families in this horrible incident.

  In a class action lawsuit against the NCAA.
• 3:59:20
  The lawyer representing Heisman runner-up, Diego, Pavia and 26
• 3:59:24
  other players made a fascinating legal move, in an attempt to get
• 3:59:28
  Pavia and the others more years of eligibility in the NCAA,
• 3:59:31
  which has become far more lucrative during this new nil
• 3:59:36
  era, citing a recent NCAA decision in basketball, which
• 3:59:40
  allowed Baylor to add James nangi after playing four years
• 3:59:44
  professionally in Europe and being drafted.
• 3:59:47
  And traded multiple times despite never coming to the
• 3:59:49
  league because of the NCAA allowing this, which Baylor is
• 3:59:53
  taking a lot of heat for the lawyer's.
• 3:59:55
  Arguing players like Pavia should have more eligibility.
• 3:59:58
  As the old rules seem to be outdated with questions, about
• 4:00:02
  the ethics of these moves nangi will be 25 before he runs out at
• 4:00:05
  eligibility. The NCAA is sure to have tough
• 4:00:09
  one on their hands with players seeking six and possibly seventh
• 4:00:12
  years of Eligibility, like football, van Wilders, all Cross

  Oh you have to do the tune in to check out a local listings for
• 4:01:56
  all the shows is go to our website at www.worldwide.com.
• 4:02:02
  I want to say something and I want to get into the job of
• 4:02:06
  roles and just one second I want to say something for all the
• 4:02:08
  fans out there that have been in tune with all the craziness on
• 4:02:13
  this show. The reason why we are the way we
• 4:02:16
  are is we want people to understand that.
• 4:02:19
  We're normal, guys. Normal guys, sit around and
• 4:02:22
  around table having a conversation and giving you our
• 4:02:25
  takes in sports. Problem is with this media.
• 4:02:28
  In this world, I think about it all the time because it became
• 4:02:32
  more political And this is not something that you need to get
• 4:02:38
  into politics with you. Give your take you have a little
• 4:02:41
  fun with it. You add a spin to it.
• 4:02:43
  You have fun with it. I think it's become political
• 4:02:46
  and politically sound. A lot of people have lost their
• 4:02:49
  jobs in this industry. And a lot of people aren't
• 4:02:50
  getting opportunities in this industry because there's too
• 4:02:53
  many politics in it and we're going into 2026 for all the
• 4:02:58
  executives. Media people conglomerates
• 4:03:00
  people that listen to tune in and if you're a director and
• 4:03:03
  production in this business, you have to understand that this
• 4:03:08
  business is wide open and there's so much talent out
• 4:03:11
  there. You got to give the opportunity
• 4:03:14
  for people to be heard and if you don't well, just look at us,
• 4:03:18
  look at where we're right. We were ranked 1.00 this year,
• 4:03:21
  this week 17, And we're not on a major Network.
• 4:03:26
  We're not, we're not getting the support, you know, that
• 4:03:29
  marketing comes from Pockets, you know, and so just think
• 4:03:33
  about that and and where the industry is going and stop being
• 4:03:38
  caught into this garbage that you're putting out there because
• 4:03:41
  they have a following or they have something out there that
• 4:03:44
  you think they're selling and you're paying these guys and
• 4:03:47
  you're taking away jobs from people that are supporting
• 4:03:50
  families that need the money and are open to doing whatever it
• 4:03:54
  takes to keep their job. So I I was thinking about that I
• 4:03:57
  wanted to give that and I take to 2026 and that was really my
• 4:04:01
  take to it and I hope everybody that is listening and I don't
• 4:04:04
  understand me. And understands the way this
• 4:04:06
  industry is that there's so much talent out there.
• 4:04:09
  We're one of them and we're coming and you can either stand
• 4:04:14
  there and give us an opportunity or get the hell out of the way
• 4:04:16
  because we're going to run right through you.
• 4:04:17
  So and that's all I'm going to say.
• 4:04:19
  All right, we call this dropper rules.
• 4:04:32
  What do we got tonight? Well, that was that was a good
• 4:04:36
  segue. We in the year and we all make
• 4:04:40
  New Year's resolutions, right? And One rules that, that I live
• 4:04:46
  by every day. And I challenge every single one
• 4:04:49
  of you listening, I challenge every single one of you that has
• 4:04:52
  become part of my family. To tell everybody.
• 4:04:57
  You love them every day. And we know it's simple. we know
• 4:05:04
  it's easy and as much as From times, our family pisses us off,
• 4:05:08
  or makes us mad. Time is precious. and, I need to
• 4:05:16
  do a better job of it. I know, I need to and it's one
• 4:05:21
  thing when you talk about rules and you talk about certain
• 4:05:24
  things, and that is a rule that is going to be on my mirror
• 4:05:30
  every morning when I look myself in the mirror, Is make sure you
• 4:05:34
  tell the ones around you. You love them every day.
• 4:05:39
  Because you don't know. when things are going to change and
• 4:05:44
  you're not going to have that opportunity, And so from my
• 4:05:48
  heart to every single one of you guys, I love you.
• 4:05:52
  I appreciate you. And I thank you.
• 4:05:56
  And make sure that you do the same to yours in your family.
• 4:06:02
  All right, goody has no woody as we all know, but I agree with
• 4:06:07
  you, by the way, he's at Raw right now, wherever he is.
• 4:06:12
  It's like he's somewhere and Tampa or Orlando but he's at a
• 4:06:17
  wrestling event. So he's looking like he's having
• 4:06:20
  fun, but I really appreciate, we really appreciate him popping in
• 4:06:23
  and wanting to hear our A-Rod take, because he was waiting for
• 4:06:26
  that good. He's gonna be ready to submit
• 4:06:28
  some of his conspiracy theories for the Jumbotron.
• 4:06:30
  I'm sure. Anyways, so our next segment is
• 4:06:32
  NBA Round Table, bing, bing bing.
• 4:06:36
  I have no. All right guys, here we are the
• 4:06:43
  NBA Round Table. Yeah here the music.
• 4:06:47
  We're gonna go through some quick NBA stories catching us up
• 4:06:51
  around mid-season. I don't know if you caught it it
• 4:06:54
  was a game a few days ago, Nicole yokich put up a
• 4:06:59
  ridiculous. 56 16 And 15 and overtime.
• 4:07:03
  When against Minnesota Anthony Edwards, had 44 points and was
• 4:07:08
  ejected in overtime, arguing with officials, it did not
• 4:07:14
  matter, they did make a comeback yokich just dominated, the extra
• 4:07:17
  frame, just unbelievable guys right now this year yolk itch
• 4:07:23
  and let's get that music a little bit lower.
• 4:07:24
  The yogic guys is And I had the stats up for a second ago.
• 4:07:31
  Here, they are 29.9 points per game, 12, four rebounds per
• 4:07:37
  game, 11/1 assists per game. That's better rebounds, per game
• 4:07:41
  than Karl Malone's career best better assist per game.
• 4:07:46
  Then Jason kids career bests and point, one away from 30 points
• 4:07:52
  per game. I think maybe he's the MVP.
• 4:07:57
  What do you think he was the MVP MVP last year?
• 4:08:00
  They don't listen, I'm not gonna take shots at Alexander.
• 4:08:04
  I like them. But Joker, if there's anybody,
• 4:08:08
  everybody wants to see who. The next Michael Jordan is
• 4:08:10
  LeBron thinks he's better than Michael Jordan.
• 4:08:13
  The way this trajectory is going.
• 4:08:15
  And though, if he plays like this for another five to seven
• 4:08:19
  years, he doesn't need to win six titles.
• 4:08:22
  If this man wins three titles and he's putting up these
• 4:08:25
  numbers, I wouldn't say he's Michael Jordan, but I would
• 4:08:28
  think that he's the second greatest basketball player of
• 4:08:30
  all time. I, I don't think there's any
• 4:08:32
  comparable player I can remember that I could say that I can
• 4:08:37
  compare him to. I mean, the guy just like
• 4:08:39
  Michael Jordan, Kobe is training, you're trying to
• 4:08:42
  compare him. People are going to want to try
• 4:08:44
  to be the next yolk itch, and they'll be somebody coming up a
• 4:08:48
  growing growing into their body, wanting to be the next Joker
• 4:08:51
  Joker. Just like everybody wanted to be
• 4:08:54
  the next Michael Jordan. So I I think Is unbelievable
• 4:08:58
  nvp. He should have been the MVP last
• 4:09:01
  year. He should be just like Michael.
• 4:09:02
  Jordan should be the MVP every single year 10 years in a row,
• 4:09:06
  just like LeBron James in a time span where he should have been
• 4:09:09
  eight times in a row, the MVP. Yeah, let's say LeBron is the
• 4:09:13
  comparison here because I think you look at the efficiency
• 4:09:16
  rankings he's had throughout his career, but these are yokich,
• 4:09:19
  isn't that what he's done? This decade, especially is
• 4:09:20
  efficiency rankings we've never seen before, and we talked
• 4:09:23
  about, like, people were on and shoot the three for Seth Curry.
• 4:09:25
  Well, big men are gonna have to learn how to pass and learn how
• 4:09:28
  to space the floor because of this guy, because he changed the
• 4:09:30
  game, like, as a four or five that could just make point guard
• 4:09:34
  like passes. And you talked about on the
• 4:09:36
  phone with me yesterday Harold, we've never seen a player like
• 4:09:38
  him like yeah, he might not be the most amazing Defender.
• 4:09:41
  Nobody saw a high effort, good Defender and his vision on the
• 4:09:43
  court and his ability, just shoot and pass the ball from
• 4:09:47
  anywhere so that we've never seen before and he can
• 4:09:49
  definitely go down as well. The top five players ever, if
• 4:09:50
  you stay Southway I think to you like You guys go analytical and
• 4:09:55
  efficiency and all the other stuff?
• 4:09:58
  He makes us laugh at kids. Feel like we can be special.
• 4:10:03
  Like when you when you watch it you and it's it's quiet like
• 4:10:08
  because it's not flashy. You don't see like the 360s and
• 4:10:13
  all these craziness and whatever, like Java, just call
• 4:10:16
  him, the greatest dad bonded Sports, 100% love him.
• 4:10:20
  I love everything about it. And I think for me, it's just
• 4:10:24
  when, when you're so gifted and so talented, it's like we look
• 4:10:29
  at great passers as you know, John Stockton, he brought up
• 4:10:32
  Carbone and in that, in that context.
• 4:10:34
  But he had to receive a password from somebody, but this dude
• 4:10:37
  does it all like it? It's so fun to see because it
• 4:10:43
  really is kind of boring, but I'm like, damn, that could that
• 4:10:47
  that's me in. Pick a ball at the Y.
• 4:10:51
  Not nearly as good but I'm like that's that's what I feel like
• 4:10:55
  that and I can relate. That's my dude.
• 4:10:58
  He goes about his business and doesn't like realistically.
• 4:11:03
  I know he cares because he's Uber talented. but I don't think
• 4:11:08
  he genuinely cares because that's why he's so good because
• 4:11:14
  he knows he is but he gives us all like Sports fans and like,
• 4:11:20
  oh he doesn't look like in that like yeah, he's tall, right?
• 4:11:23
  We see a lot of tall people. but you see him and you're like, oh,
• 4:11:28
  Yeah, and MVP. one of the best players in the world, you're
• 4:11:33
  like, I gotta change. I got a chance is that you went
• 4:11:40
  down with the knee tonight. Just went be in the first half.
• 4:11:45
  I don't think he came back so we'll see how that goes.
• 4:11:48
  The next story we have is the West is loaded.
• 4:11:51
  We have to talk about. The San Antonio Spurs and the
• 4:11:56
  Oklahoma City Thunder because Oklahoma City only has five
• 4:11:59
  losses on the entire season. They're killing everyone in the
• 4:12:03
  league except for San Antonio who they have lost all three
• 4:12:08
  games to including the semifinals the NBA cup.
• 4:12:11
  When when became back from the calf injury that he missed a
• 4:12:15
  month with and he only played like 22 minutes, I think at 21
• 4:12:18
  points and 22 minutes but it wasn't just Wendy.
• 4:12:21
  They are loaded up and down that roster Dillion Harper.
• 4:12:25
  I mean it's gonna be hard to beat him.
• 4:12:29
  I think in any other year that Cooper flag is not a rookie, he
• 4:12:33
  would be a rookie of the year and I think he would have been
• 4:12:35
  first pick in many other drafts as well.
• 4:12:38
  He's he's playing like it. That's this is a pretty good
• 4:12:41
  year to get second pick, Dylan. Harper's really good and Castle
• 4:12:44
  was rookie of the year last year and he's been excellent.
• 4:12:46
  The story again in these games against Oklahoma City Arrow.
• 4:12:50
  Spurs defense and it shouldn't surprise.
• 4:12:53
  You okay sees a jump shooting team.
• 4:12:55
  What? Beats jump shooting teams
• 4:12:56
  getting in those guys faces and not letting them be able to
• 4:13:00
  shoot at that percentage, they're shooting less than 40%
• 4:13:03
  against the Spurs in their three losses this year.
• 4:13:06
  Hi, I'm gonna be very quick on this.
• 4:13:09
  It's the regular season. Wait until the playoffs come
• 4:13:12
  around before we could even go back and forth.
• 4:13:14
  I don't care if they're three, you know, there can be four.
• 4:13:17
  No playoffs are different. Playoff, basketball is
• 4:13:20
  different. And this team has been there and
• 4:13:22
  this team has done it. So I don't care.
• 4:13:24
  It doesn't really matter. It's amazing.
• 4:13:26
  Good for them the Knicks, beat them for the cops.
• 4:13:29
  So it doesn't really matter. I don't care.
• 4:13:30
  Yeah. I would say, it's still a young
• 4:13:32
  coach and that's gonna have to make that adjustment in the
• 4:13:33
  playoffs, okay? See counters back with using
• 4:13:35
  their size because yeah, they're shooting team fish, but they
• 4:13:37
  still have good big man. That could do a lot different
• 4:13:40
  things, so that'll be up to them to make the adjustment in the
• 4:13:42
  playoffs. Because you can only game plan
• 4:13:44
  the same way and don't go so far.
• 4:13:45
  I think when we just playing 25 minutes or whatever.
• 4:13:48
  But Arrow you brought up something and we'll move on
• 4:13:51
  after this. But I had a buddy who Played.
• 4:13:56
  At Nebraska, then he went to Delaware but he played in the
• 4:13:58
  Big 12 like with Durant, when Blake Griffin and all those
• 4:14:02
  guys. He goes in the regular season
• 4:14:04
  and I'm just trying to give perspective exactly what arrows
• 4:14:07
  said talking about regular season.
• 4:14:09
  First playoffs, he goes in the regular season.
• 4:14:11
  He's six, nine with the 38 inch vertical, like the dude was a
• 4:14:15
  great player. He goes in the regular season, I
• 4:14:18
  could do something. He goes in the playoffs.
• 4:14:20
  I don't stand a chance and it's different.
• 4:14:22
  So, like you said, once you get the playoffs be without All
• 4:14:27
  right. I I think it's real interesting
• 4:14:29
  to see what can possibly be this OKC team and I guess you need a
• 4:14:34
  7 foot 5 Center that can also drill between his legs and shoot
• 4:14:40
  threes and do anything. He has a huge wrench I, Want to
• 4:14:46
  have this conversation. I'm trying why there's a
• 4:14:49
  full-time job but you want him. You want to jerk me off.
• 4:14:51
  You want to jerk off. You got to have a huge fan of a
• 4:14:58
  small one. Oh I I would imagine he's
• 4:15:01
  proportionate for his size and he would have to be on to the
• 4:15:05
  next. Let's all right.
• 4:15:07
  Good for anatomically and it's anatomically.
• 4:15:10
  Correct stuff here. All right, the next one I wanted
• 4:15:13
  to talk about is another West team because we've talked about
• 4:15:17
  the Nuggets a little bit with joking.
• 4:15:20
  We talked now about the top two teams, the Spurs and the Thunder
• 4:15:24
  Spurs actually lost tonight on one.
• 4:15:26
  But the Rockets are real interesting.
• 4:15:28
  They're sitting there 19 and 10 just like a bunch of other
• 4:15:31
  teams, right in the mix with the Lakers.
• 4:15:34
  But this team is new. This team has Kevin Durant on
• 4:15:37
  it. Now, for the first year, he's
• 4:15:39
  the veteran presence that they needed alpen.
• 4:15:42
  Sengun is a star at Center Jabari.
• 4:15:45
  Smith Jr. He's an excellent player and man
• 4:15:48
  Thompson is like the young version of ogn and Obi with
• 4:15:52
  maybe more offense. This is a pretty loaded and your
• 4:15:57
  boy Reed Shepard from Kentucky is coming to his own.
• 4:16:00
  He bouncy, they've had to send them down.
• 4:16:02
  I believe to the G League speedy, and he came back with a
• 4:16:05
  vengeance. He is killing it this year.
• 4:16:07
  He's what they were hoping he would be.
• 4:16:09
  That's a good team and that's a loaded West, but Durant's not
• 4:16:16
  getting any younger, they're trying to win.
• 4:16:17
  Now, they may still want to try to add a piece if they are gonna
• 4:16:21
  go for it in this loaded Western Conference.
• 4:16:23
  Don't you think? I think the Rockets are going to
• 4:16:25
  be very, very good. I know.
• 4:16:26
  Jamie Lee is a big fan of the Houston Rockets, I like Kevin
• 4:16:31
  Durant, Kevin Durant has to stay healthy.
• 4:16:32
  That's really the secret and And the and the guy that you have to
• 4:16:36
  watch, I'm telling you out of all these guys seeking is he's a
• 4:16:39
  good player. Thompson that kid could be a
• 4:16:43
  game changer. I watched him and his brother
• 4:16:44
  developing and there was a lot of question, who were the best?
• 4:16:47
  Who was the better Thompson? This kid is the better Thompson.
• 4:16:49
  And this guy is slowly but surely developing into the star
• 4:16:53
  and they got a great coach as long as he keeps his hands to
• 4:16:56
  himself. So I we know this was gonna
• 4:16:58
  happen. I don't think there's any
• 4:17:00
  questions that question that they were missing that Superstar
• 4:17:04
  leader and they got in Kevin Durant.
• 4:17:05
  Kevin Durant has to stay healthy and he needs to show up in the
• 4:17:08
  playoffs. That's it.
• 4:17:09
  Yeah. Shepherd is a big difference.
• 4:17:10
  You mentioned fish. Tari Eason who I think Jared
• 4:17:12
  mentioned last week or something like that.
• 4:17:14
  Has been a good factor that too. I'm curious if they do make a
• 4:17:16
  move too. Because thunder has that top 10
• 4:17:18
  pick looming and they have a lot of other pics that can make
• 4:17:20
  something worth. They got a second star to go on
• 4:17:22
  with singing Thomson. I like it.
• 4:17:24
  I want buttons 100%, right? Where it's winning, breeds
• 4:17:29
  confidence, winning brings character, winning's, an
• 4:17:32
  attitude and getting that. Guy, I think it's gonna help
• 4:17:35
  those younger guys, and know. And And how he's won and been
• 4:17:40
  around great players, and how he now is the old head where he
• 4:17:45
  can, you know, kind of build and shape, and have that mentality,
• 4:17:50
  that that's gonna wear off on them.
• 4:17:51
  And I think it. All right, let's, let's To take
• 4:17:56
  a second and get out of the West.
• 4:17:57
  And really just ask the most important question are the
• 4:18:01
  Knicks the best team in the Eastern Conference.
• 4:18:03
  It's right now there are game behind the Detroit Pistons for
• 4:18:07
  best in the east at 23 and 9, the Pistons are 24, and 8 have
• 4:18:12
  that really hot start. But the next, this is a lost
• 4:18:15
  their last two. I think it's only a matter of
• 4:18:17
  time before the Knicks take over there, sitting in third,
• 4:18:20
  surprisingly, Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors and forth.
• 4:18:25
  That's real surprising. Then you have Orlando and Miami
• 4:18:28
  at 5 and 6 up behind Maxi, at 7, the Cavs not the same as last
• 4:18:35
  year. They're barely over 500, the
• 4:18:37
  Bulls Hawks and the Bucks are actually sitting out of a plane
• 4:18:41
  spot right now. They've been that bad.
• 4:18:43
  So with that being the, the roster that you're dealing with,
• 4:18:49
  Is this the next conference to lose this year?
• 4:18:52
  100%. I've been saying it.
• 4:18:55
  They have the most depth colic is, is looking like he's going
• 4:18:58
  to be forced to be reckoned with the Nixon could have to figure
• 4:19:01
  out when they're gonna sign him and how they're going to sign
• 4:19:03
  him. I mean, he a lot of teams are
• 4:19:06
  going to be watching him and looking at him.
• 4:19:07
  I don't think the Knicks make a move unless they need to, unless
• 4:19:11
  they are using colic, as a chip to go after honest, he could be
• 4:19:14
  a piece that they can move now because they're looking for a
• 4:19:17
  future point guard to run that offense but besides that.
• 4:19:20
  Yeah, 100%. This is the Knicks conference to
• 4:19:25
  lose. I don't think there's any team
• 4:19:26
  even close to it. The Knicks have the most depth
• 4:19:29
  they've ever had. I think I've ever seen as a Nick
• 4:19:33
  fan, even a 94. Next with the team and the
• 4:19:35
  players they had. I think this is the best
• 4:19:37
  nickname we seen in a very long time, the deepest and most
• 4:19:40
  versatile, team in the Eastern Conference, the deepest and most
• 4:19:42
  versatile Knicks team ever say, like you said, they're only a
• 4:19:44
  treat colic, and some of these other, young kids, if it's his
• 4:19:47
  youngest at this point. I mean, think about this, I
• 4:19:49
  mean, he is a piece. Now, you can move to get Honest,
• 4:19:52
  if you want him because he do absolutely could be a starting
• 4:19:55
  point guard in his League. You traded ionically, think you
• 4:19:59
  sign him and you move on from and you trade, what's his name
• 4:20:02
  again? The kid from bride McBride, I
• 4:20:05
  would trade McBride and you can use him as a trade-up.
• 4:20:09
  Colic is a future. I wonder too.
• 4:20:11
  Something I've been saying is that they might not even have to
• 4:20:12
  trade Robinson anymore, even though so which they could trade
• 4:20:15
  the kid, they saw from the Sixers as well.
• 4:20:16
  The big man. Oh yeah, it was selling, yeah,
• 4:20:19
  probably right. Know I just I think the depth
• 4:20:23
  and everything but depth is one thing but they have like every
• 4:20:27
  facet of the game to succeed so that I believe like you have a
• 4:20:32
  score, you have a leader, you have a guy in Robinson, then get
• 4:20:35
  bound like noses game. Like you have all the pieces to
• 4:20:39
  the puzzle that I think there was a few lacking at some
• 4:20:43
  points. But yeah, you have everything
• 4:20:45
  and it's and it's theirs to lose.
• 4:20:47
  They just they just have to have That mentality and I don't, I
• 4:20:51
  don't know, that's the one scary thing.
• 4:20:52
  I don't know if they have that mentality because they they
• 4:20:55
  haven't won and then at that Pinnacle but they have every
• 4:20:58
  piece of clothing I'll just say this.
• 4:21:00
  It's a lot more fun watching Jordan Clarkson get minutes.
• 4:21:04
  That can't then campaign last night.
• 4:21:07
  I'm just gonna throw it out there.
• 4:21:09
  I think that's an upgrade actually.
• 4:21:12
  Clarkson's really good. He's streaky.
• 4:21:14
  But and leaves a little bit to desire on defense, but I'll say
• 4:21:17
  this there a lot better. I'm so pumped for the second
• 4:21:20
  half of the season. One last topic Arrow.
• 4:21:24
  That's talking about the Lakers. Lakers in, I believe let's say
• 4:21:28
  look at it right now. Updated standings, they are
• 4:21:31
  forth at 20 and 10 teed with the rockets for fourth in the
• 4:21:35
  Western Conference. Obviously LeBron missed a lot of
• 4:21:39
  games. He's averaging his worst since
• 4:21:41
  he was a rookie. He's about 20 points about six
• 4:21:45
  and five, he's like 26 and 5 pretty good which is pretty good
• 4:21:48
  for a guy who's 41 years old, which is just absurd, Austin
• 4:21:52
  Reeves, and obviously Luka doncic have been kind of
• 4:21:56
  carrying the load offensively in his absence and now with him
• 4:21:59
  it's a real fascinating team. He assumed they're going to add
• 4:22:03
  pieces really hatchimals had a good season for them.
• 4:22:06
  He's been a nice player bounce been with them for a while.
• 4:22:09
  At forward position half Japanese if I'm not mistaken but
• 4:22:15
  besides that they picked up DeAndre Aiden off the scrap,
• 4:22:18
  Heap and turned him back into a halfway decent player but I just
• 4:22:22
  don't know if they can compete really in this Western
• 4:22:26
  Conference and you would assume that LeBron's going for it this
• 4:22:30
  year. This is his last chance for
• 4:22:31
  championship. There, it's full of gold.
• 4:22:35
  They're not getting on us for all you Laker fans out there,
• 4:22:38
  unless the Milwaukee Bucks are in, cahoots with the Lakers.
• 4:22:42
  And they're gonna just hand them over to the Lakers, which we've
• 4:22:46
  seen before. You did say, it's the LGA.
• 4:22:48
  Yes, it was unless there's that happens and it could That's the
• 4:22:54
  only way they win and they compete.
• 4:22:55
  There's no way. It's Fool's Gold.
• 4:22:57
  Yeah, you mentioned fish. You mentioned some of the deaf
• 4:22:59
  pieces. Over performing.
• 4:23:00
  I just don't know if there's enough High upside young players
• 4:23:02
  outside of eight in related to get that kind of thing to work
• 4:23:04
  Reeves. It's done.
• 4:23:04
  Well, in a larger sample but I think being in the weather going
• 4:23:07
  to be able to sign. Yeah.
• 4:23:08
  Being in the west, they're still five or six in the west, right
• 4:23:10
  leaves is gonna earn himself, 200 million dollars next year.
• 4:23:14
  They're not gonna be able to get a Max.
• 4:23:16
  We don't get a super max know, but he's not a good deal.
• 4:23:19
  He's gonna get a nice deal, he's gonna get to 100 million
• 4:23:21
  dollars. Yeah.
• 4:23:24
  He's not good for him. Yeah, my name is Austin.
• 4:23:26
  Reed should be should be mine. Know he played for Oklahoma.
• 4:23:31
  You're not allowed to like him. I still have eligibility.
• 4:23:35
  Okay, all right. Oh there we go.
• 4:23:39
  There we go. The NBA Round Table.
• 4:23:42
  I am tired. I'm tired of listening to about
• 4:23:46
  the Lakers honestly. Finally the Nicks have something
• 4:23:48
  to talk about and we don't have to talk about this garbage Laker
• 4:23:51
  organization honestly. Anyways, it's We haven't played
• 4:23:56
  this in a while. Sounded out so.
• 4:23:58
  Well, here in that. No, Jake.
• 4:24:01
  Paul in here. Do you mean Jacqueline that
• 4:24:03
  sounded out what you call me sound?
• 4:24:07
  Out how wonderful. Oh man, we are back with sounded
• 4:24:13
  out. Everyone's favorite game is
• 4:24:17
  gonna have to figure out three names that he's probably gonna
• 4:24:20
  butcher. He's got, I don't know, what do
• 4:24:22
  you think you're batting averages on this about 250, you
• 4:24:25
  think you hit 250 280? 280, 280 2, generes.
• 4:24:29
  I'm gonna say it's probably closer to the Mendoza Line but
• 4:24:33
  phonics we're gonna believe the man errol's got it.
• 4:24:36
  Are you ready to play sounded know?
• 4:24:39
  I'm not, but I'm sure you're going to throw it out me.
• 4:24:41
  So let's go. Oh, I am.
• 4:24:42
  Here it is. We're starting this year with
• 4:24:45
  the. With all of these guys are
• 4:24:47
  breakout NFL players this year. Here, he is number 25 on the
• 4:24:52
  Bears. Sound.
• 4:24:57
  Gay. Oh man, I can't give it to you
• 4:25:04
  when you're wrong game. That's not right, it's not wrong
• 4:25:09
  gay. I said well whatever.
• 4:25:16
  I thought you were gonna get that one.
• 4:25:18
  Oh, well. Oh, for one, put the music back
• 4:25:21
  on, Let the Good Times Roll. Here we go, the second one on
• 4:25:27
  the list, here he is. What's his name?
• 4:25:32
  Sounded out. 13 and a half sacks from this gentleman, Tuli?
• 4:25:40
  Oh wait, hold on. Hold on.
• 4:25:42
  Can't let you see it. I screwed up.
• 4:25:44
  Here we go. Add it back to Stage.
• 4:25:46
  No harm, no foul. What do you got?
• 4:25:48
  Tuli. Palado.
• 4:25:54
  To pallotto. Two, pallotto.
• 4:25:57
  Lee Tuli paluto. Almost, oh, for two but you got
• 4:26:05
  one left. Get the music back on Arrow.
• 4:26:10
  Here Comes Time to. Take a look at this guy.
• 4:26:15
  He's leading all rookies, all time.
• 4:26:18
  Oh, purpose yards. Broke that record this year.
• 4:26:22
  Here he is sounded out Don't get us, canceled.
• 4:26:28
  Shamir Dyke. What you were thinking wasn't
• 4:26:34
  the answer either? Know, you were thinking of Glory
• 4:26:41
  DK? That's shimmery.
• 4:26:45
  Just put a duct filter on. I want her melons.
• 4:26:53
  All right. Oh, for three today.
• 4:26:56
  I sounded out we'll bring this game back.
• 4:26:59
  Maybe at the end of, I don't know.
• 4:27:01
  Basketball season. Wonderful.
• 4:27:03
  Let's go into it, speedy. Stat of the week. but you hit
• 4:27:12
  like, The way. All right, so Arrow hinted out.
• 4:27:17
  My rear end is burning. He loves the Philadelphia Eagles
• 4:27:21
  and they're winning in some very unsustainable ways, a lot of the
• 4:27:25
  time. So, the 2025 Eagles, or the
• 4:27:27
  first team since the Patriots back in 1987, or I believe
• 4:27:31
  Steve, Grogan was their quarterback to win multiple
• 4:27:34
  games in a season, where they did not complete a pass in the
• 4:27:37
  second half of the game. I was there up 13.
• 4:27:39
  Nothing against the bills. Almost came back in one but they
• 4:27:43
  did it without very unconventional approach.
• 4:27:44
  Is that Nick syriani not game plan for it?
• 4:27:46
  Do they not trust? Jalen hurts?
• 4:27:47
  Or is it just a script? Almost.
• 4:27:51
  Come on. That defense is for real that's
• 4:27:54
  all I'm going to say. Watch out for this Philadelphia
• 4:27:57
  Eagles team at the playoffs. None of these teams in the NFC
• 4:28:00
  wants to play this team. The way the defense is playing
• 4:28:02
  right now and if the sickest catch I've ever seen Oh my God.
• 4:28:07
  Exactly, that's, that's stupid. It's like he's got stick them on
• 4:28:12
  his hands. Who caught, what?
• 4:28:14
  Like it literally doesn't move out of his Hookah Hookah.
• 4:28:17
  Know, it came out. Oh, it did it did they can't
• 4:28:22
  give it wrong. Oh I see it.
• 4:28:24
  Never mind. Sorry.
• 4:28:25
  There was like one of the craziest catches I thought ever
• 4:28:28
  it looks like I'm running away with you know the champion of
• 4:28:33
  two fantasy leagues. Thank you very much.
• 4:28:36
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 4:28:38
  All right, all right, yeah, to get back to what you were
• 4:28:41
  saying, Speedy. Yeah, I'm not worrying about the
• 4:28:44
  Eagles. The Eagles are going to be fine.
• 4:28:46
  I really I wouldn't be surprised if the Eagles go to the Super
• 4:28:49
  Bowl and wins. It went all with all the
• 4:28:51
  craziness that's happened over the last couple of weeks there.
• 4:28:54
  That could I I'm not wearing about their defense at all.
• 4:28:58
  All right. ladies and gentlemen, that was a speedy stat of the
• 4:29:02
  week and now the NFL whip around Is really all right?
• 4:29:11
  Why don't we start right there with those Eagles?
• 4:29:14
  You were just talking about Here it is.
• 4:29:17
  The Eagles defeated the bills. 13.
• 4:29:23
  To 12. If you watch the game, you saw a
• 4:29:26
  banged-up got to hear a stupid. Tom Brady.
• 4:29:29
  And his point shot blank stupidity.
• 4:29:31
  Yeah. Loved it.
• 4:29:33
  You get well, definitely have some time to talk about Tom
• 4:29:36
  Brady's, commentary for this horrible.
• 4:29:38
  Leave it. I'll leave all that to you, but
• 4:29:40
  just want to give you some stats from this one before we get into
• 4:29:43
  it. Saquon 19, carry 68 yards spin
• 4:29:47
  like that all season, AJ, Brown, five catches 68 yards, Goddard
• 4:29:51
  had a one-yard touchdown catch. Jalen hurts 100, ten yards,
• 4:29:55
  nothing on the grounds. Yet they won because the defense
• 4:30:00
  is just manhandled the bills. The bills have no receivers
• 4:30:03
  guys, Brandon Cooks, had 101 yards, yes, Brandin Cooks is on
• 4:30:09
  the bills and yes, he's their leading receiver.
• 4:30:12
  Their next best receiver was Shakir.
• 4:30:15
  But again, he's just like a possession guy in the slot.
• 4:30:19
  I don't really know how they're going to generate enough
• 4:30:21
  offense, to beat Elite teams, it's going to be tougher, I'm
• 4:30:25
  not worried about it. The figure it out, they'll run
• 4:30:28
  the ball and give it to State one.
• 4:30:29
  When the playoffs start talking about the bills, I think the
• 4:30:33
  Two. I'm not really worried about
• 4:30:34
  them too. I think the bills have the best
• 4:30:36
  chance that I expected this. I expected it to be closed.
• 4:30:40
  It was snowing. It was really bad weather, I
• 4:30:44
  just hope. Josh Allen is a hundred percent
• 4:30:46
  healthy because if if they want to make a run, he has to be
• 4:30:49
  healthy. And if he's not good luck on
• 4:30:52
  making that run, but I am not worried about both these teams,
• 4:30:55
  I wouldn't be surprised if this is the Super Bowl the Eagles and
• 4:30:57
  the bills. Yeah, bills defense.
• 4:30:59
  I finally still get some good confidence.
• 4:31:00
  I mean, maybe some of it was game-planning, but really, I
• 4:31:02
  think, the reason I brought up the stat was, I think they still
• 4:31:04
  need a little more volume because they win like this, all
• 4:31:06
  the time. I don't know, but they have the
• 4:31:07
  talent. So, all right, looks like job of
• 4:31:10
  ran to the bathroom. We'll get his thoughts on that
• 4:31:12
  at some other time. Let's get to the other big game
• 4:31:15
  that just was crazy scoring. The 49ers beat the Bears,
• 4:31:20
  something tonight 402 to 30. Let's take a look at some of
• 4:31:26
  these numbers. And these numbers were obviously
• 4:31:29
  with all the scoring a lot more. Eye-popping Caleb Williams. 25
• 4:31:33
  of 42 330 two Touchdowns two touchdown runs for Swift Luther
• 4:31:39
  burden went for 8 for 1:38 and a touchdown of course.
• 4:31:43
  DJ Moore who I started in fantasy had one catch for seven
• 4:31:46
  yards Colston Loveland, six for 94 and a touchdown.
• 4:31:49
  No Kittle. So Jake tongues had seven
• 4:31:53
  catches and 60 yards in a touchdown, McCaffrey 140 on the
• 4:31:58
  ground. A touchdown Brock Purdy had two
• 4:32:00
  rushing touchdowns, he had three in the air.
• 4:32:02
  It's only one part of the story. I don't know why we go Rocky.
• 4:32:06
  It's brought party has been absolutely on fire and McCaffrey
• 4:32:11
  is playing like the best running back in the league or at least
• 4:32:14
  top five. That's for sure.
• 4:32:16
  It's the only story of about this is Brock Purdy.
• 4:32:19
  I I mean brought parties having the last three weeks he's been
• 4:32:24
  unbelievable. His comeback has been a
• 4:32:26
  tremendous Storey and this defense is not good and what
• 4:32:30
  they did last night against a very good.
• 4:32:32
  Caleb Williams was incredible and Brock.
• 4:32:34
  Pretty doing his dance, doing his, doggy fun.
• 4:32:36
  You can see that he's having a good time.
• 4:32:38
  I love him period. And by the way I that's why I
• 4:32:41
  reached out to him because I wanted to laugh.
• 4:32:42
  I told him it was just worth every penny of the 55 million
• 4:32:46
  sink it and now all of a sudden he's he's all about it.
• 4:32:49
  So Kyle Shanahan is not the reason why they're winning.
• 4:32:51
  Yeah. And Brock party is, the second
• 4:32:53
  best EPA quarterback since he's come back.
• 4:32:54
  I think the Niners offense, is top five in a lot of categories
• 4:32:56
  and that's not gonna happen with Mac Jones.
• 4:32:58
  Oh, and That's it. There's nothing else to talk
• 4:33:02
  about. There's nothing job.
• 4:33:03
  You got anything on the Niners Bears game?
• 4:33:07
  Yeah, you gotta unmute yourself. Other than Owen swallowing his
• 4:33:12
  pride. Yeah he's probably what his
• 4:33:15
  money. I was gonna be a boat race but
• 4:33:16
  yeah, stuck it on. All right, let's get to the next
• 4:33:20
  couple of games so the Texans beat the Chargers 20 to 16.
• 4:33:24
  Looks like the Texans are gonna end up winning that division
• 4:33:27
  after they're slow start. That's quite remarkable.
• 4:33:29
  What an incredible job charges couldn't really get anything
• 4:33:33
  going, but again, you know, they're clenched.
• 4:33:36
  Not so much to worry about and the Colts were eliminated, but
• 4:33:38
  they played real tough Philip Rivers.
• 4:33:41
  I don't think they're gonna give him one more game.
• 4:33:43
  I think they're going to give it to Riley Leonard, so this might
• 4:33:46
  be it for him. He got to play three games, he
• 4:33:48
  went on three Jaguars, beat the Colts 23 to 17.
• 4:33:51
  It was a close game. But again, you know, These are
• 4:33:56
  two teams to Texas and jaguars that it's kind of hard to
• 4:34:00
  believe there in this position after where they, where they
• 4:34:03
  were, you know, the text ins. We thought, you know, they were
• 4:34:06
  really good to start off and then Stroud has that down here.
• 4:34:10
  And now, you don't know what the thing, guess what, they're back,
• 4:34:13
  maybe shroud's. Not the guy that they thought he
• 4:34:16
  was as a rookie, but he's good enough and then you have Trevor
• 4:34:19
  Lawrence I mean is he most improved this year like as he in
• 4:34:25
  that conversation right now? No and the Texans are for real.
• 4:34:29
  Their defense is for Real, watch out for the Texans, they can run
• 4:34:33
  the ball even with like three running backs.
• 4:34:36
  This guy Woody marks is pretty good when he is playing on the
• 4:34:39
  field. The Texans defense is going to
• 4:34:42
  shut people down and as far as the Jaguars are concerned,
• 4:34:44
  they'll be in it and then, it'll be done.
• 4:34:47
  I'm not really worried about them.
• 4:34:49
  I I have to give Cohen a little bit of credit travel.
• 4:34:52
  Lawrence does look like a competent quarterback.
• 4:34:54
  So yeah, the Jaguars don't really have one super big
• 4:34:56
  strength, besides, their run defense, but they do have a lot
• 4:34:59
  of balance. No obvious weakness.
• 4:35:00
  The Texans though? Championship color defense.
• 4:35:02
  They get a League average offensive as a scary team.
• 4:35:04
  Maybe the second best of the bills.
• 4:35:05
  Yeah, I mean, they're defense is so fun to watch so fast.
• 4:35:08
  They're so quick. Jack, I don't think Trevor
• 4:35:12
  Lawrence know, not. Whatever.
• 4:35:14
  Because that was what was expected of me finally kind of
• 4:35:17
  trying to live up to it. So, yeah.
• 4:35:19
  I don't think you'd give them next year.
• 4:35:22
  Well, I mean, he just hasn't been good, he's been objectively
• 4:35:26
  a bad quarterback. And this year, I mean, look at
• 4:35:30
  his number. He's just 3752 passing seventh
• 4:35:33
  in the NFL 26, touchdowns tied for fifth.
• 4:35:37
  He's got a lot of interceptions, 12 interceptions, but you know,
• 4:35:42
  that's part of his game and if that's the best you're gonna get
• 4:35:46
  like if he's gets to, I guess so you get, I don't know if he's
• 4:35:49
  gonna play the last game or not. But if that's what he finishes
• 4:35:52
  at you, you take that from Trevor Lawrence, man.
• 4:35:55
  Like, that's pretty impressive and Etsy.
• 4:35:57
  And I don't know if people are talking enough about Etsy and
• 4:35:59
  Etsy ends been really good this season, he might have actually
• 4:36:03
  improved more than Lauren's. You remember, he fumbled the
• 4:36:09
  first game of the year last year and they benched him and they
• 4:36:13
  rode him like really hard last season.
• 4:36:15
  And he didn't play very much what a what a joy he must have
• 4:36:19
  playing for calling as well. So Let's let's get into the
• 4:36:24
  Christmas games, we'll doable all together.
• 4:36:26
  The Cowboys beat the commanders 30 to 23.
• 4:36:29
  The Viking shocked Alliance and knocked them out of the
• 4:36:32
  playoffs. I mean I think a lot of us were
• 4:36:36
  surprised by that outcomes 23 to 10, it wasn't close at all and
• 4:36:40
  then the Broncos again, arrow with another unimpressive win
• 4:36:45
  against the playoff team. The Chris olah Duncan Chiefs 20
• 4:36:51
  to 13 Cowboys games. That Cowboys game.
• 4:36:54
  Who cares? Who cares about the commanders?
• 4:36:56
  They're both out. They're not in the playoffs.
• 4:36:59
  So who cares the Vikings knocking off the Lions?
• 4:37:02
  The lions were never. Going to make the playoffs after
• 4:37:06
  what we've seen with Chicago. And well, they could have not
• 4:37:09
  the Packers because the Packers lost this game and if the
• 4:37:12
  Packers lose next week, they're not Jordan loves his plane.
• 4:37:15
  Jordan loves mom. Well, I don't know if he's
• 4:37:17
  playing, I'm here. I'm here, they haven't said
• 4:37:20
  anything. It's concussion, protocols.
• 4:37:21
  So until the passes it he can't do anything.
• 4:37:24
  Okay, if he plays, that's one thing.
• 4:37:26
  But The Lions, if they won that game, this game that they're
• 4:37:31
  playing this week, it could could put them in.
• 4:37:33
  So the fact that they choked against the Vikings is really
• 4:37:37
  kind of messed up, I don't know what's happened to Gogh, but it
• 4:37:40
  appears that it's either guys, or not open and the routes are
• 4:37:44
  not creative enough to get Guys, open or copies and on the same
• 4:37:48
  page with the offense and that's really offensive line, they lost
• 4:37:52
  their Center. And they went, that's what, oh,
• 4:37:54
  the Senate. But that was before the season,
• 4:37:55
  that's not an excuse, what was God, who's golf's roommate, and
• 4:38:00
  who traveled with them when they were playing football last year
• 4:38:03
  and over the last couple? Well, did that stop the Eagles
• 4:38:06
  when she retired that has no that.
• 4:38:09
  Well, I'm telling you right now, it has something to do it.
• 4:38:11
  That's all I'm gonna say. And the problem.
• 4:38:13
  They have a kid from Nebraska. That's why I've been didn't stop
• 4:38:17
  it. The Broncos Chiefs, honestly the
• 4:38:22
  Broncos beat a pair of Chiefs team and I want to see the
• 4:38:25
  Broncos. Just like I want to see the
• 4:38:27
  Patriots. When the going gets tough in the
• 4:38:29
  playoffs. I think both teams are gonna
• 4:38:30
  fall short because I don't think they're any as good as people
• 4:38:33
  think. They are playing playing down.
• 4:38:34
  A team is Broncos. Can't do that Vikings, like the
• 4:38:36
  Dolphins. Good turn around in the second
• 4:38:38
  half. Good talented.
• 4:38:39
  Team Cowboys better than ahead of schedule with all the draft
• 4:38:40
  picks though. All right here, just need to
• 4:38:43
  comment on how awesome Joe burrow is.
• 4:38:45
  Imagine if this guy was around all season this I believe even
• 4:38:51
  without the defense, they would probably be the best team just
• 4:38:55
  because of Joe burrow and his ability Chase Brown's been
• 4:38:57
  pretty good. Maybe not a great yard per carry
• 4:39:01
  guy, but he's definitely a guy. You don't, you'd want to have on
• 4:39:03
  your team and we got to start talking about Tyler shock.
• 4:39:07
  Tyler shock has been really good the last six weeks, he they may
• 4:39:12
  not need a quarterback. They don't in New Orleans, he
• 4:39:15
  looks pretty good audric estimate, had 90 yards and it's
• 4:39:19
  a touchdown. I think he's a name and here
• 4:39:21
  going on for a few years. He's going to be there next scat
• 4:39:24
  back up. But no tomorrow, I mean, I think
• 4:39:28
  That's kind of an end of an era and a new era starting, perhaps
• 4:39:30
  for the Saints. I I think the only story is
• 4:39:33
  shocked. I think he's been incredible.
• 4:39:35
  And as far as the Bengals are concerned, they're going to have
• 4:39:37
  to worry about what Joe burrow is going to do in the offseason.
• 4:39:40
  Because it I I do believe there was some kind of Truth to what
• 4:39:44
  he said over the last couple of weeks.
• 4:39:46
  I think they're in a lot of trouble.
• 4:39:48
  Don't be surprised if you hear a story that if there's something
• 4:39:52
  not done with this organization that he retires and walks away
• 4:39:55
  from the game of football, I could see him doing that.
• 4:39:58
  Wow, yeah, yeah, I can see him doing it Zack.
• 4:40:00
  Taylor coaching like Dan Campbell to try to?
• 4:40:01
  I mean, think about it. Think I, I honestly believe I
• 4:40:05
  feel, I feel for Joe burrow because he's so good and every
• 4:40:09
  single year he can't stay health or every other year, he can't
• 4:40:11
  stay healthy. And then when he saw on the
• 4:40:13
  field, he puts up the numbers and just ownership does not do
• 4:40:17
  him right? And then they they give him the
• 4:40:19
  players that he wants to offensively but they they do it
• 4:40:22
  in a way where they just drop themselves where their their f'd
• 4:40:26
  and I don't know what they're going to do in the offseason, I
• 4:40:29
  think they're screwed. I think this group, so, I I feel
• 4:40:35
  bad because I think Joe burrow will walk away from the game.
• 4:40:37
  I really could see him doing it. He really made me think that
• 4:40:42
  he's thinking about Andrew Luck said you know how Andrew Luck
• 4:40:45
  kind of swung it you know that the tail end of the season you
• 4:40:48
  were like yeah. Okay, Andrew.
• 4:40:50
  And then all of a sudden he announces big news in any.
• 4:40:53
  He says he's gonna walk away from the game.
• 4:40:55
  He doesn't want to deal with the injuries.
• 4:40:56
  He doesn't want to deal with the crap, and it seems like that is
• 4:40:59
  where Joe is going. I I don't know.
• 4:41:03
  He doesn't want to walk away from Jamar J's.
• 4:41:05
  So there's gotta be some kind of Truth to what he was saying.
• 4:41:07
  That's all I'm gonna say and his mom, if you see his mom and his
• 4:41:11
  father, but his mom, his mom has a big part of his life.
• 4:41:15
  And if you watched the quarterback Show on Netflix, you
• 4:41:19
  can see that it all it takes is, he's a mama's boy, and all it
• 4:41:23
  takes, is his mom telling him, you know, is it worth this
• 4:41:26
  anymore? You've made a lot of money.
• 4:41:28
  You don't need to do this anymore, so, That's just my
• 4:41:31
  opinion. I don't know, he's great.
• 4:41:33
  So was Andrew Luck. So I'm a little flustered on it.
• 4:41:38
  That's all I'm gonna say about that.
• 4:41:40
  All right, save your tears. Mom, what's one thing that you
• 4:41:44
  can't talk to me about my sexual fantasies?
• 4:41:47
  He's not ideal, but it's what it's not ideal, but if it's not
• 4:41:54
  ideal, but if it is, what me you Are you?
• 4:42:05
  It's time for save your tears. By the way, I just want to give
• 4:42:11
  a shout out to the New York Jets for absolutely bombing on that
• 4:42:14
  game. That was embarrassing.
• 4:42:15
  I shame on the Jets Organization for letting it go out there.
• 4:42:20
  That's all I'm gonna say. We got more shine up.
• 4:42:23
  I know more show, I got it, don't need to ruin later
• 4:42:26
  segment. All right, here we go.
• 4:42:27
  We got the 15 Dollar salary cap for save your tears.
• 4:42:31
  Week 18, I am the defending Champions, so I will pick the
• 4:42:35
  order. We will pick our players from
• 4:42:37
  this group of games. I tried to figure out what games
• 4:42:41
  would actually have players trying.
• 4:42:43
  So, I came up with the games. We talked about the Panthers
• 4:42:46
  face in the Bucks, the Ravens facing the Steelers, and I
• 4:42:49
  figured the Giants and Cowboys would just have it out, because
• 4:42:52
  that's what they do. So here's the rosters that you
• 4:42:55
  could pick from five dollar quarterback Dak, Prescott Baker
• 4:42:59
  Mayfield for Lamar for three Dart for two and Aaron Rodgers.
• 4:43:03
  Last chance to ever get Aaron Rodgers for a dollar at running
• 4:43:08
  back coming. I show off 200 plus yards and
• 4:43:11
  four TDS. Derrick Henry, followed by
• 4:43:13
  Javonte Williams. Bucky Irving, Jalen Warren and
• 4:43:17
  Tyrone Tracy Jr. At wide receivers one and two.
• 4:43:21
  I just keep doing this every time we have Cowboys put in
• 4:43:24
  George Pickens at 1.5 dollar one and ceedee lamb at the other.
• 4:43:27
  It's just makes sense. They're that good, Zay flowers
• 4:43:30
  at four and wide receiver one Ted Aroma McMillan T-Mac for
• 4:43:33
  three mvs. Yes mvs is playing receiver for
• 4:43:38
  Aaron Rodgers this week and Hopkins is another guy that
• 4:43:44
  front Blast from the Past. He is a dollar player, real
• 4:43:46
  thin. It receiver this week Juan Dale
• 4:43:48
  Robinson is the four dollar player looking to cash in on his
• 4:43:53
  big year in the offseason, Jalen, Coker for three, Adam
• 4:43:57
  thielen for two and the one with no hands whatsoever.
• 4:44:00
  Darius Slayton for a bucket and Jake Ferguson for five.
• 4:44:04
  Theo Johnson for four. Mark Andrews, three, Kate and
• 4:44:07
  two, and Pittsburgh. Is finest.
• 4:44:10
  Pat Friar move. Cleans it out.
• 4:44:13
  All right, so here we go to the board.
• 4:44:16
  I'm going to bring this back up. And let's go with to start us
• 4:44:22
  off. Tell me poops.
• 4:44:25
  All right up for you. All right, I was kind of looking
• 4:44:30
  at it before. I'm gonna do this quick.
• 4:44:34
  I know exactly where I'm gonna go.
• 4:44:35
  I'm gonna go. With Dak Prescott.
• 4:44:39
  I'm sorry. Not DAC.
• 4:44:40
  I'm gonna go Baker, Mayfield four dollars.
• 4:44:44
  Then I'm gonna go. Derek Henry for five.
• 4:44:48
  Give me T-Mac. Adam thielen.
• 4:44:51
  And then fryer booth, Hey, so I have Baker, Henry T-Mac, feeling
• 4:45:00
  and fryer. That's it.
• 4:45:04
  All right. I need to know what speed is
• 4:45:07
  doing. All right, I'm gonna go one of
• 4:45:10
  each number. Give me Baker.
• 4:45:11
  Give me Tracy. Give me a melon give me CD land
• 4:45:15
  and slam. Odin.
• 4:45:20
  All right. So I got you Baker.
• 4:45:22
  Tracy, T-Mac, lamb and Odin. Let's go to.
• 4:45:30
  Let's go to Joba. I'm gonna go.
• 4:45:36
  Baker. Bucky Irving.
• 4:45:43
  George Pickens. Then I'm gonna go.
• 4:45:51
  Slaton. And then Kate on.
• 4:45:58
  All right, I got you for Baker. Bucky picking Slaton and Aiden.
• 4:46:03
  ah, I'm gonna go before you Ariel.
• 4:46:10
  Just so that you, you know, that I'm gonna be in your head
• 4:46:13
  because you're gonna be thinking that you're copying my picks
• 4:46:15
  because they're so good. I'm gonna go with jaxson dart.
• 4:46:21
  For two bucks. I am going to then, take The
• 4:46:30
  matchups. Again, the Ravens defense.
• 4:46:33
  Run over thinking fish. Yeah, the Giants aren't stopping
• 4:46:38
  Javonte Williams. Let's do that.
• 4:46:41
  Javonte. Then at receiver, I think I want
• 4:46:48
  to spend money at one of these. I think.
• 4:46:53
  It's going to be T-Mac. So, what does that?
• 4:46:58
  Give me a guy nine. So, I got six left.
• 4:47:01
  Which is good that gives me ceedee lamb.
• 4:47:05
  And fryer mousse. So I got Dart Javonte, T-Mac
• 4:47:11
  lamb and Friar. Move Arrow.
• 4:47:13
  Finish it up. I'm gonna go Lamar.
• 4:47:17
  I'm gonna go. Derek Henry.
• 4:47:22
  I'm gonna go. George Pickens.
• 4:47:28
  How many? How much two left?
• 4:47:30
  Right. So one, two, one ball.
• 4:47:31
  I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with dairy, slate and Pat for
• 4:47:36
  moose. Whatever his name is.
• 4:47:37
  So there you go. I'm gonna go that because I got
• 4:47:42
  to go. I'm gonna go heavy on this one.
• 4:47:43
  So all right, there it is, guys, will go over the results on
• 4:47:48
  Monday and that will conclude the regular season for save your
• 4:47:52
  tears. Again, if you don't like the
• 4:47:53
  results he can't cry about it. You got it?
• 4:47:56
  They fish. Can you bring that back up for a
• 4:48:00
  second? Yeah, I was going to bring up
• 4:48:02
  the full screen of it just to we can take a look Java's.
• 4:48:08
  Going to guess what? Effects.
• 4:48:10
  So we got a three Bakers. We got a couple of Derrick
• 4:48:15
  Henry's, it looks like George. Pickens was popular so was
• 4:48:19
  tedrow and McMillan a couple of lambs and slayed in three, fire
• 4:48:24
  moves, and two odds, interesting choices, boys.
• 4:48:29
  All right, I've got, I've got one coming in.
• 4:48:33
  From one of one of my buddies, shout out to Jeremy who's
• 4:48:36
  listening right now? and so he I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 4:48:40
  make a bet with him who wins This week.
• 4:48:43
  And so, He wants. Jaxson Dart.
• 4:48:50
  All right, so let's just put him over here on the side.
• 4:48:53
  Here we go Dart. Then he wants.
• 4:48:55
  Derek Henry. T-Mac.
• 4:49:01
  That's 10. 1 Del and then he has the dollar left, so yeah.
• 4:49:12
  Here. All right, Jeremy, here you go.
• 4:49:15
  All right, so you're in the game, Jeremy.
• 4:49:18
  That's actually not a bad idea. Maybe we can get some fans every
• 4:49:20
  week to, to be to play along. That might be something fun that
• 4:49:24
  we can do. As we evolve this game.
• 4:49:27
  Not bad. All right, final segment of the
• 4:49:30
  night, dial it up. We interrupt this regularly
• 4:49:33
  scheduled hot. Make sure you important news
• 4:49:35
  for. We got a big broadcast to do
• 4:49:37
  here. We're about to dial it all in
• 4:49:40
  all Carl plays with himself. All right guys, it's time to.
• 4:49:46
  Sports segments where Ariel has not heard of the stories.
• 4:49:51
  He's gonna dial up a take and we're gonna respond to him.
• 4:49:54
  Just here we go with our first story of the evening on
• 4:50:01
  dialysis. There he is, Myles Garrett.
• 4:50:05
  He takes himself at 20 to sacks. So the question is, and we
• 4:50:10
  talked about this in our production meeting, so this
• 4:50:13
  one's a little cheating, so Ariel didn't know.
• 4:50:15
  This one's coming. The question is, does Myles?
• 4:50:17
  Garrett deserve an asterisk? If he breaks the sack record,
• 4:50:21
  because he's sitting a half a sack behind Michael Strahan and
• 4:50:25
  TJ Watts 22.5 record at 22. If you breaks it with one more
• 4:50:31
  game than they had to sew attain, it is that fair?
• 4:50:34
  Does he deserve an asterisk? Just like, Roger Maris had to
• 4:50:38
  have an asterisk next to his 61 home.
• 4:50:40
  Runs for a while for his Babe, Ruth played in fewer games.
• 4:50:46
  Absolutely. I mean, obviously, that extra
• 4:50:48
  game definitely adds a dynamic to it, and you think about it,
• 4:50:52
  one, extra game and Myles, Garrett's billed, like a, I
• 4:50:56
  don't know what he's built like, but he's built like a truck and
• 4:50:58
  he run right through you. I mean, I don't want to say that
• 4:51:01
  Tim, cuz I don't want to kill me or eat me up alive, but
• 4:51:04
  absolutely, if you're playing an extra game over the other guys
• 4:51:09
  that have broken the record or ahead of you at some point, you
• 4:51:12
  you have to look at that and and actually put an asteroids around
• 4:51:16
  it now eventually they're going to take it away and being at it
• 4:51:19
  you added the extra game and it might be another game he had to
• 4:51:23
  it. So you gonna have to look at it
• 4:51:24
  completely different way but right now, absolutely and I
• 4:51:28
  agree and we kind of Cheated a little bit in this in in our
• 4:51:32
  meeting and I brought it up. And like you said earlier,
• 4:51:37
  though, you can never take away numbers, right?
• 4:51:40
  But also too when it comes to it you brought up something that I
• 4:51:45
  really thought about too when saquon said he could break are
• 4:51:48
  Dickerson's record and he was like there being Astrid behind
• 4:51:52
  that. And so I I think we'll will it
• 4:51:57
  ever be taken away. Honestly don't think it will be,
• 4:51:59
  but do I think it's not necessarily an asterisk?
• 4:52:04
  I don't think. I think it's a subheading where
• 4:52:07
  it's like they did this. one thing I talked about and I was
• 4:52:12
  talking to a buddy of mine and he was just like, Would you have
• 4:52:16
  based upon like her games, did he actually get that many sacks
• 4:52:20
  or whatever? I don't think they'll ever take
• 4:52:22
  the Astro. Wait.
• 4:52:23
  I don't think those numbers will ever go away but I think their
• 4:52:27
  needs to be something 100% because we've seen it in sports.
• 4:52:32
  Numerous times. And I think I'm recognized it.
• 4:52:37
  Some don't Well, some say he's not the sack leader.
• 4:52:42
  Because he did it with an extra game.
• 4:52:45
  But I don't think it needs to be asterisk because you still have
• 4:52:47
  to celebrate what you did. I think there needs to be a
• 4:52:50
  subheading, another tow job. Yeah.
• 4:52:53
  All right, well, this story that's coming up Arrow.
• 4:52:57
  We kind of touched a little bit about it earlier but it blows my
• 4:53:01
  mind that this is even something that we're talking about.
• 4:53:04
  I don't know if you saw this story about Trent and I didn't
• 4:53:06
  spell his right his name, right? It's Trenton.
• 4:53:08
  This is so high. That's why flowers.
• 4:53:11
  I definitely spelled it. Definitely autocorrected on me
• 4:53:14
  trentyn, flowers eligible, to leave the Glee to play in the
• 4:53:19
  NCAA. So the story is going, this guy
• 4:53:22
  went undrafted in 2024. He got signed to the to the
• 4:53:26
  Bulls G League after going on drafted.
• 4:53:29
  He actually appeared this season in a Bulls game and scored Four
• 4:53:33
  Points. And garbage time.
• 4:53:37
  But since the NCAA just ruled this overseas European player,
• 4:53:41
  James nangi could get four years of eligibility from his age 21
• 4:53:47
  season. Right now, through age 25
• 4:53:50
  Flowers is trying to jump on mid-season this year.
• 4:53:55
  To some to plenty of top tier. And NCAA basketball programs
• 4:54:01
  that want to add him to their roster.
• 4:54:03
  It seems like he shouldn't be allowed.
• 4:54:08
  It's just pretty clear that he shouldn't be allowed but who
• 4:54:11
  even knows what the rules are in this crazy world.
• 4:54:15
  We have with nil, completely changing the landscape Errol.
• 4:54:20
  Can you make some sense to? This dial it up.
• 4:54:22
  Makes absolutely no sense. It's said in the NBA rule book,
• 4:54:28
  that if you play one second of NBA basketball, you're not.
• 4:54:33
  You cannot be eligible for college basketball.
• 4:54:35
  And now all of a sudden with the Nils and the g-league and I, you
• 4:54:41
  can transition from, from one from overseas to college, but
• 4:54:47
  none of it makes sense. And Adam Silver is the cause of
• 4:54:50
  all this the guy's a complete more, he's the worst
• 4:54:53
  commissioner and professional sports and then man, free door
• 4:54:56
  Manfred is the next guy. And then it's good Del Goodell's
• 4:54:59
  moved up on my you know my take because at least he's, he's
• 4:55:04
  There's some kind of Common Sense coming out from that guy's
• 4:55:06
  mouth, but not much honestly, it makes no sense whatsoever.
• 4:55:09
  This kid is played in the NBA, he's playing in the G League.
• 4:55:12
  He decided to go play in the G league and we've heard Mitchell
• 4:55:15
  Robinson. Remember that Mitchell.
• 4:55:17
  Robinson decided. Hey, you know what I I rather
• 4:55:20
  play overseas because I don't want to play college because I
• 4:55:22
  don't want to be coached by this idiot and I think Brown I think
• 4:55:25
  there's just you have to understand the rule book and
• 4:55:28
  follow the rule book, you shouldn't be changing, any rules
• 4:55:31
  that was set in place at any point over the last 50 years.
• 4:55:34
  This is absolutely not allowed and she shouldn't be allowed but
• 4:55:38
  Adam Silver will allow it because he's a complete moron.
• 4:55:40
  Yeah I know I don't know how much the power the NCAA has
• 4:55:43
  either in terms of being able to control European League because
• 4:55:46
  a lot of times you don't see that kind of rubber somebody
• 4:55:49
  that played multiple years over there in the Glee for multiple
• 4:55:52
  years overseas like Najee did not.
• 4:55:54
  She was a really good Center at Baylor.
• 4:55:55
  His daughter in the dirt a couple years and then somebody
• 4:55:58
  like flowers too had a good enough college career that okay
• 4:56:01
  and he got reputation he played some NBA action, he wasn't Just
• 4:56:04
  in the G league. So yeah, it seems a little
• 4:56:05
  fishy, but I guess they have to let one scenario in.
• 4:56:07
  They have to let the other end and that's why I'll let you lick
• 4:56:09
  my eyes. Always hinting at, with Najee
• 4:56:11
  versus the whole Trenton flower situation, like have them.
• 4:56:14
  Both be fair from the NCAA standard, like a serial killer.
• 4:56:17
  All right, let's get to the big news in college football Errol
• 4:56:23
  It was Michigan. Hiring Kyle, Winningham to be
• 4:56:29
  their head coach. Now, this would qualify as a
• 4:56:34
  pretty big piece of news, obviously, after the disgrace.
• 4:56:39
  That was the end of Sharon Morris tenure.
• 4:56:42
  They was gonna be pretty hard for them to attract a big
• 4:56:45
  candidate. Well, apparently that wasn't
• 4:56:47
  true, they were able to lure Kyle, Whittingham away from
• 4:56:49
  Utah. After 21 years there with 177
• 4:56:54
  and 88 record, he had back to backpack 12 titles of one point
• 4:56:58
  multiple 10 win seasons. In fact eight different ten
• 4:57:01
  wins, 10 plus wins Seasons, 11 and 6.
• 4:57:05
  In bowl games, he's been coaching the year.
• 4:57:09
  It seems like, they lucked into this one or their ad is.
• 4:57:13
  I believe, his name is Ward manual and I'm pretty sure warde
• 4:57:17
  manual was short notes manual. No warde.
• 4:57:23
  Manual was my ad at Buffalo really when Khalil Mack was
• 4:57:27
  there. So, and I got the job after
• 4:57:30
  Buffalo did well with mac from not mistaken, but It's this kind
• 4:57:37
  of came out of left field. I didn't see this coming.
• 4:57:39
  I don't think a lot of people had this one on their bingo card
• 4:57:42
  so Errol dial. No idea how they they landed
• 4:57:48
  with him. But Money Talks, maybe money
• 4:57:51
  under the table. Why don't we ask the Clippers
• 4:57:52
  about that? Maybe they learned something
• 4:57:54
  from now, who knows? How, and what the story is
• 4:57:58
  about, but obviously, they did something.
• 4:58:01
  It makes a lot of sense on why he's going to Michigan.
• 4:58:03
  Michigan is a top-end school. Now, how long do you think he
• 4:58:07
  does? He have to wait to win a
• 4:58:09
  championship National Championship only time will tell
• 4:58:11
  obviously and there's good. There's a lot of scrutiny with
• 4:58:15
  the or you know obviously the program and over the last couple
• 4:58:18
  years with Jim Harbaugh and now this idiot and more I think they
• 4:58:22
  need to bring in somebody that can calm things down.
• 4:58:24
  He's not less in the tablets and has to be in the newspaper or
• 4:58:30
  any of that stuff. You thought is a quiet place
• 4:58:32
  with good football and all it is is football over there.
• 4:58:36
  So I think it makes a lot of sense.
• 4:58:38
  You bring in a guy that loves the game and understands the
• 4:58:41
  game and will Coach the game. So makes sense.
• 4:58:43
  Yeah, he's a winning coach, he's a top five since he took over.
• 4:58:46
  As Utah's head coach, I believe it was in 2011.
• 4:58:48
  He's the one of the top five winningest coaches in college,
• 4:58:51
  2004 speeding. Okay, yeah.
• 4:58:53
  So, since he, I knew this was something like that.
• 4:58:55
  I think he's fourth in the NCAA. And when total wins again, they
• 4:58:59
  never made the college football playoff.
• 4:59:00
  He was always one of those teams that was just short.
• 4:59:01
  But in today's with the 12 team, he would there be plenty of Utah
• 4:59:05
  teams that got in. Like, you were saying, fish, 810
• 4:59:07
  wins Seasons, they never really had great quarterback.
• 4:59:09
  Play up until probably recently, Tyler Huntley.
• 4:59:11
  And they've always been old school.
• 4:59:13
  So, like Scooby accent was saying, I don't know how long
• 4:59:15
  term it will last, but they definitely need a culture
• 4:59:17
  stabilizing. The fact they get him out of
• 4:59:18
  retirement. He was gonna retire from college
• 4:59:21
  football. He's been there for a while.
• 4:59:22
  It's a street in my power move for Michigan.
• 4:59:24
  At least get a culture stabilizer there, will he have?
• 4:59:27
  I don't know, but they could be again after the eligibility
• 4:59:30
  stuff goes away, they can be a football player.
• 4:59:32
  At least college football playoffs maybe within three
• 4:59:34
  years or so as long as she's a good enough coach again get
• 4:59:37
  there and Michigan does play old school, which is his type of
• 4:59:39
  style. Yeah, let me just comment.
• 4:59:41
  What do you mean by old school is?
• 4:59:43
  They want a Smash Mouth defense. That's something Michigan
• 4:59:46
  football believes and that is also something Michigan football
• 4:59:52
  believes and it's feels like that.
• 4:59:54
  The philosophy just matched up right at the timing.
• 4:59:57
  Makes a lot of sense, but at the same time, I mean what a
• 5:00:03
  disaster, they're going to have to get out of with everything
• 5:00:05
  that's happened that they definitely lost a lot of
• 5:00:07
  recruits. So let's say how it plays used
• 5:00:10
  to it, though. He takes a lot of three star
• 5:00:11
  guys and makes it work. Well, it's definitely the right
• 5:00:14
  guys. Speaking of Three Star this guy
• 5:00:17
  might not be a star at all anymore and it makes my heart so
• 5:00:20
  happy. And in fact and after that makes
• 5:00:23
  handle Atlanta, the other day He was called out Trey young again
• 5:00:28
  called out by Nixon. ESPN, radio's, Alan, Hahn.
• 5:00:32
  Let me read you. Some of what Han had to say.
• 5:00:34
  A young scored 9 points at 10:00 turned the ball over six times.
• 5:00:39
  31 minutes was a minus 13, you know a lot of Knicks fans
• 5:00:45
  remember him from a few years ago when he talked a lot of
• 5:00:48
  smack to the Knicks. I hate Trey young, so it makes
• 5:00:55
  me really happy to see his game. Fall apart, he obviously has a
• 5:00:58
  bad knee, so he's not 100%. And a lot of this is coming from
• 5:01:03
  that. But here's the deal.
• 5:01:06
  Alan Hong goes, is there any hustle any effort there
• 5:01:09
  whatsoever? That's the face of your
• 5:01:13
  franchise Errol. If you remember correctly, this
• 5:01:17
  is the guy they decided to take instead of looking at.
• 5:01:20
  Yeah. Remember at the draft?
• 5:01:22
  Time to dial it up. First of all I'm not a big fan
• 5:01:28
  of Trey young. I feel bad for the guy because
• 5:01:30
  he's not 100% healthy but I don't feel bad that he can't
• 5:01:33
  even he can't even hit a layup anymore.
• 5:01:35
  I mean he's looked really really bad.
• 5:01:38
  I I've never seen a downfall like this.
• 5:01:40
  A superstar like this, some people know.
• 5:01:43
  Oh yeah. The comparison to when he came
• 5:01:47
  into the league to Steph Curry and all that other stuff and
• 5:01:49
  like this guy can change the game and change the fortunes for
• 5:01:53
  the Hawks since Dominique Wilkins.
• 5:01:55
  I honestly think that this is a joke and I I'm hearing stories
• 5:02:00
  about date, maybe making a trade and, and bringing in another
• 5:02:05
  star to play with him and try to fix things up.
• 5:02:08
  And I there's a guy over there in Dallas that might be looking
• 5:02:11
  to get out of there as soon as possible.
• 5:02:13
  So maybe that happens. I I'm not surprised Trey young,
• 5:02:16
  I feel bad for him. I don't want to see somebody
• 5:02:19
  full like this. I don't care how bad Knick fans,
• 5:02:22
  hate him. You don't want to see somebody
• 5:02:23
  fall like this but he looks really, really Bad, I think he's
• 5:02:27
  done or he needs to go somewhere else and somebody needs to fix
• 5:02:32
  him because he can't even shoot anymore.
• 5:02:34
  He can't hit a lay up. He can't trouble the ball
• 5:02:36
  anymore. He can't do nothing.
• 5:02:38
  He's a bench player, that's what he is.
• 5:02:41
  I've been hearing that the Atlanta even is thinking about
• 5:02:43
  moving him after this season, if anything, as soon as possible if
• 5:02:46
  anything. But, you know, Kenny G League,
• 5:02:48
  I'm with, he might need to go to the G League there, but I could
• 5:02:51
  drive Trenton flowers again. But now I'm with fish on this.
• 5:02:54
  There's no love lost with Trey young.
• 5:02:57
  I mean, this is a guy that I feel like he's still kind of has
• 5:03:00
  that high of when they made a deep playoff run, five years
• 5:03:03
  ago, five seasons ago, when he did that taunting the Knicks,
• 5:03:07
  the little shimmy over there in the garden and everything.
• 5:03:09
  Now, it's like he can't even show me a damn layup in, like,
• 5:03:12
  you just mentioned there. Oh, so it's dude, I seen him
• 5:03:15
  Miss some of the easiest way UPS.
• 5:03:16
  I think a five year old kid. Kid hit.
• 5:03:19
  I am being serious. It's bad.
• 5:03:22
  It's really bad. Yeah, this stuff the fall off,
• 5:03:24
  just because even when of course, like a lot of, a lot of
• 5:03:27
  his guys couldn't stay healthy. Of course, in that time frame
• 5:03:29
  too, he couldn't stay healthy in that time, but when he would, at
• 5:03:32
  least get not doing any freaking time.
• 5:03:34
  Certain games the playoffs, you would actually know how to
• 5:03:36
  shoot, he would actually pass. Now, it's like he's absolutely a
• 5:03:40
  shell of himself and I'm not Surprised, however, they move
• 5:03:42
  him as soon as possible before the deadline before the seasons.
• 5:03:45
  Over Trey, Young's not gonna be a land of Hawk much.
• 5:03:49
  Uh, I hope he ends up like in Sacramento or somewhere
• 5:03:54
  terrible. And he just plays in like
• 5:03:57
  bounces like this. Microwave shooter Off the Bench
• 5:04:01
  and like has to learn to Humble himself because I hate that guy.
• 5:04:05
  Anyway, let's move on to our last story of this long show.
• 5:04:09
  We made it. Here it is and it's your boy,
• 5:04:13
  Woody Johnson. The Jets, put their foot in
• 5:04:16
  their mouth in this one. I don't know if you're following
• 5:04:19
  along during the week, but it was this Stony Brook University,
• 5:04:23
  goalie, for the women's soccer team, who is a, you know, a
• 5:04:28
  soccer coach now. And anyway, she won the
• 5:04:30
  preliminary contest to qualify her to kick a 100,000 field goal
• 5:04:38
  attempt at half-time for at the jet Stadium.
• 5:04:41
  At I guess we call it jet Stadium, MetLife Stadium.
• 5:04:44
  When the Jets play shit like regardless, regardless, her
• 5:04:48
  father had passed away You know, season ticket holder lifelong
• 5:04:51
  fan, what are the Jets do? No, we don't want that.
• 5:04:55
  We want to get rid of that. No, let's disinvite her because
• 5:05:01
  she played Sports and offer her $100 Visa gift card.
• 5:05:04
  She made this public. The Jets were shamed, from all
• 5:05:08
  the negative publicity into letting her kick.
• 5:05:11
  And then with all the added pressure, she missed the kick
• 5:05:14
  short on Sunday so nobody gets paid.
• 5:05:18
  Nobody wins and Jet slant this year.
• 5:05:21
  Errol just a little bow on the season for you here at the end
• 5:05:26
  of dial it up. Well for all you Jet fans.
• 5:05:31
  All you jet analysts all you people pissing and crapping.
• 5:05:36
  And sugar coating, this I could sugarcoat it just in a few words
• 5:05:43
  Jet stink. The organization is in a
• 5:05:45
  shambles. It doesn't matter who the owner
• 5:05:48
  is, it doesn't matter who the coach is, it doesn't matter how
• 5:05:51
  many fans go to the game, which they pack out the stadium every
• 5:05:54
  single week. All I could say is until they
• 5:05:58
  find a quarterback. They're not winning anything.
• 5:06:02
  I don't know what more to say about this.
• 5:06:05
  They don't have a quarterback. They had one.
• 5:06:08
  They let him go. And now he jumped from one team
• 5:06:11
  to another. Now, he's gonna have a chance to
• 5:06:13
  possibly win a Super Bowl with Seattle.
• 5:06:15
  How would that be fitting if I watch San Donald win?
• 5:06:20
  A Super Bowl this year? As a Jet fan it would make me
• 5:06:23
  sick to my stomach. And as I said it to you Speedy
• 5:06:27
  the year that they traded him for a second and a fourth.
• 5:06:30
  What a joke of an organization to do something like this.
• 5:06:34
  When you hired a GM that should have known that this guy was the
• 5:06:39
  future of this organization. You didn't put anybody around
• 5:06:42
  the world. Only two quarterbacks to win 10
• 5:06:45
  plus games. I know, please stop, please
• 5:06:47
  don't hurt it even more. Yeah, don't, I mean you're not
• 5:06:51
  helping you're not. That you're making me sick.
• 5:06:57
  All right, I'm sick. I'm sick to watch this team.
• 5:07:01
  I'm sick to make excuses, but I don't want to hear from any of
• 5:07:04
  the jet analyst attacking Aaron Glenn, for one season.
• 5:07:09
  I it's disgusting how people are treating this guy.
• 5:07:12
  You gonna blame him for the woes.
• 5:07:15
  It has nothing to do with him. It really doesn't.
• 5:07:17
  He's playing with what it was giving to him.
• 5:07:20
  All the guys that they drafted to play very well this year, a
• 5:07:24
  member looks like he's he's gonna be an old world tackle in
• 5:07:26
  his league and he's coaching him up.
• 5:07:28
  Oh but people forget that. All right, Jeff fans, kiss my
• 5:07:32
  ass. All you idiots out there.
• 5:07:33
  Kiss my freaking ass. You don't know what you're
• 5:07:35
  talking about. Stop crying and stop listening
• 5:07:38
  to garbage on the radio. Oh, you garbage Pickers, you
• 5:07:43
  analysts that think, you know, about the Jets.
• 5:07:45
  You don't know shit. You don't know shit.
• 5:07:49
  So, I put this one last owners and Sports, in general, we've
• 5:07:54
  seen them be very cheap at times.
• 5:07:56
  Trying to pocket money. Trying to just felt like
• 5:07:58
  enriched entitled rich people all the time and it just you
• 5:08:02
  take away from the human aspects of somebody like that.
• 5:08:04
  And there's what there's certain owners that aren't like that.
• 5:08:06
  But there's owners like this, where you're giving up on
• 5:08:09
  something for 100 dollars gift card?
• 5:08:12
  Like, like people their own parents gonna probably don't
• 5:08:15
  listen. And I want to tell you guys
• 5:08:17
  something with the 100K and stuff like that, it was wrong
• 5:08:21
  for the New York Jets to do that.
• 5:08:22
  Yeah. But the story will be built up
• 5:08:25
  in many different ways offset because best believe that jets
• 5:08:29
  are probably gonna give this girl something because they're
• 5:08:31
  not just sending you. If they don't, they look like
• 5:08:34
  they will, they look like they will it looks as bad as like
• 5:08:38
  what we see, but Okay, I'm sorry I say looks about what we've
• 5:08:42
  seen off the field with many different owners like trying to
• 5:08:45
  chant a lot of these coaches. These players like nitpick on
• 5:08:47
  them too, it's even worse. When you're doing get to fans,
• 5:08:50
  you want to be able to drive them up and just a really bad.
• 5:08:52
  Look for a bad owner. As it is, I want to say
• 5:08:55
  something one more thing before we go.
• 5:08:57
  All right. And it's been a long year and
• 5:09:00
  watching like I said in the beginning of the show and and
• 5:09:03
  say what I said and I'm saying this As a Jet fan as a jet all
• 5:09:09
  you jet haters all the people making fun of the Jets.
• 5:09:12
  Yeah, they're laughable organization.
• 5:09:14
  There's no question that they are as the organization made.
• 5:09:17
  The Right. Moves know, has the role has the
• 5:09:19
  organization, made the wrong moves.
• 5:09:21
  Yes, but I'm going to sit here and stick up for all
• 5:09:24
  organization with this organization.
• 5:09:25
  There are many organizations that make the same mistakes and
• 5:09:31
  the reasoning behind it are the dumb fans.
• 5:09:34
  The fans going out there and thinking oh I got into opinion,
• 5:09:39
  I'm gonna say what I feel and I know more than this guy and I
• 5:09:42
  know more than that guy and I'm gonna be joking.
• 5:09:44
  I'm gonna reach out to Robert Saleh after the game and get
• 5:09:48
  information from Robert Saleh. I got a lot of respect for Joe I
• 5:09:52
  got a lot of respect for all you guys that think you know what
• 5:09:54
  you're talking about and I don't know.
• 5:09:56
  I'm not behind the scenes with the New York Jets.
• 5:09:58
  What I do know about a team that I root for is the fan base is
• 5:10:04
  blind. It they're blind and the the
• 5:10:09
  Despicable thought of watching the stupid shows.
• 5:10:14
  These podcasts that go out there and love the fact that the Jets
• 5:10:19
  did this and did that in the offseason and then just
• 5:10:22
  completely dropped the hammer on everything and give up on these
• 5:10:27
  guys, as fast by the end of the season.
• 5:10:29
  Makes me wonder if this fan base actually knows anything about
• 5:10:34
  football. That's all I'm gonna say about
• 5:10:36
  it. I am disgusted.
• 5:10:38
  I am tired. I am.
• 5:10:40
  Thank God, I root for another team, but I, I am a Jet fan and
• 5:10:44
  I'm disgusted. That's all I'm gonna say about
• 5:10:46
  it and, and that's it. That's it.
• 5:10:48
  Anyways. It's been a great year.
• 5:10:52
  It's been a full year with Java and it's been a full year with
• 5:10:56
  fish. It's been a full year with all
• 5:10:58
  you guys. It's been a great one.
• 5:11:01
  The factor where we are and where we're going to be next
• 5:11:04
  year. Could be special.
• 5:11:06
  I I couldn't have done it without any of you guys.
• 5:11:09
  I again, A specifically, the work that gets put on on, put in
• 5:11:15
  on the back end is amazing and I appreciate everybody's hard work
• 5:11:20

• 5:11:23
  everybody. All the fans out there listening
• 5:11:25

• 5:11:29
  that could come about this show. We appreciate you guys, and I
• 5:11:34
  guess I'm going to speak for, I guess.
• 5:11:36
  Let's Java wants to speak to, for, for the fans.
• 5:11:39
  I Appreciate everybody that puts the work into this show.
• 5:11:44
  So yeah I mean I don't I don't know if words can express you
• 5:11:48
  guys have Literally, I thought I was a sports fan.
• 5:11:53
  I was it. And you guys have opened my eyes
• 5:11:56
  to so many things and where I pay attention to so many things
• 5:12:00
  different because I don't want to sound like a jackass.
• 5:12:03
  And you guys have just like, opened me up where I look at
• 5:12:07
  sports, so differently. And it's made me look at life
• 5:12:11
  differently and, you know, just in body and what sports can do.
• 5:12:17
  for all of us and not only, Opening us up to to different
• 5:12:23
  perspectives and different thoughts and Views.
• 5:12:26
  But opening us up as people and I think that's a great thing
• 5:12:29
  about sports. I think that's a great thing
• 5:12:31
  about this show because you don't know, I never know what
• 5:12:33
  you're gonna get and it's been awesome.
• 5:12:35
  It's been frustrating at times. It definitely has.
• 5:12:39
  I love you guys. but it has been and You know, we probably before
• 5:12:44
  we walk, and it's just been, it's gonna be a fun journey and
• 5:12:49
  I know it's frustrating. Sometimes for, for all of us in
• 5:12:53
  different ways, but I'm so grateful to have these moments
• 5:12:59
  and in where I can, I can share my thoughts and I can be me and
• 5:13:04
  you guys don't judge me and Our fans don't because I love them
• 5:13:10
  because they're the reason why we do this.
• 5:13:13
  We love sports but we love giving a different perspective
• 5:13:16
  and maybe a different thought or a different view.
• 5:13:19
  So, man, I hope it's been a fun year.
• 5:13:23
  I think we've learned a lot from each other and I, I truly
• 5:13:27
  genuinely. Appreciate that.
• 5:13:29
  And it's been a tough year for everybody.
• 5:13:31
  Like, I mean that's that's life though. but what we look forward
• 5:13:34

  Spotify that tune in and download and Write all these
• 5:14:12
  crazy things. All the Reddit, Feds that say,
• 5:14:17
  the the most derogatory funny things I've ever seen in my
• 5:14:21
  entire life and on Instagram and tiktok and Facebook and all the
• 5:14:27
  fans. Jabba the mouth fans and
• 5:14:29
  worldwide sports radio network fans out there and all the guys
• 5:14:32
  that do their shows. You know, from, you know, Josh
• 5:14:36
  silverberg and his father and Eric and Andy snowman.
• 5:14:40
  Thank you to them for really putting out a good product.
• 5:14:43
  And like I said, Next year is a week away or less than a week
• 5:14:49
  away actually a couple days away. and I'm going to say one
• 5:14:53
  thing to all the fans and all the people out there and all the
• 5:14:56
  podcast out there, watch out. So I'm going to say you can take
• 5:15:02
  it whatever way you want, watch the F out.
• 5:15:06
  That's it. Anyway, I'm just gonna give you
• 5:15:08
  two lines zero that no one has got a more original show than
• 5:15:13
  what we do here. Everyone's got Sports takes but
• 5:15:15
  no one has to creativity. People are stealing segments
• 5:15:19
  from us that we see on the big shows, 100%.
• 5:15:21
  I know that I came up with, with you on the phone now, you know,
• 5:15:25
  so I'm real proud of kind of being a trendsetter as well in
• 5:15:31
  an industry that seems to be a lot of the same lost all
• 5:15:34
  absolutely lost. You're absolutely right, fish
• 5:15:37
  lost. And that's what you're seeing
• 5:15:39
  right now with a WFA and they're firing people and many people go
• 5:15:44
  and Trinity Sports is gone and everything is flopping around
• 5:15:48
  and they're trying to figure out what to do next.
• 5:15:50
  Here's what you do, watch out and look at the talent that's
• 5:15:55
  out there and realized that there is Talent right in front
• 5:15:58
  of your faces, open up your checkbooks and get ready because
• 5:16:01
  you're going to be paying. That's all I'm gonna say.
• 5:16:04
  You're going to be paying because you had You had this
• 5:16:08
  sitting for such a long time, and you're going to be paying.
• 5:16:11
  That's all I'm gonna say, that's it.
• 5:16:13
  I, I had to add that because I'm just disgusted with the garbage
• 5:16:18
  that I've seen on television and radio over the last couple of
• 5:16:21
  years, and it makes me sick to my stomach.
• 5:16:22
  Anyways, I'm gonna let you guys say your final goodbyes for the
• 5:16:27
  New Year. Tommy you first.
• 5:16:29

  social media guy, fun guide to talk with offset a lot of the
• 5:17:40
  time even before Java you came along and Java reaching out to
• 5:17:42
  you for the first time. I guess I reached out to a lot
• 5:17:44
  of different Yankees and you first time we ever had any show
• 5:17:46

  It was actually the first week, we had Sylvester Williams on the
• 5:18:04
  show last year, too. It was the same week.
• 5:18:06
  We had to go to on the same day and and goody goody.
• 5:18:08
  I remember goody because he came in 10 minutes early.
• 5:18:10
  I never saw Our guests come in that early ever and he was so
• 5:18:13
  fired up. He was so funny and I always
• 5:18:15
  brought that Good Vibes, and, of course Nathan his rpr guy.

  All the ones that have it in person for supporting what we do
• 5:18:25
  here. I don't want to say something
• 5:18:26
  else. Before I go to Java Chamberlain,
• 5:18:28
  I didn't think this was gonna work.
• 5:18:30
  I didn't. All right, I didn't, I'm gonna
• 5:18:34
  be honest with you, I didn't think it was gonna work, but
• 5:18:36
  it's been a fun ride and it's gonna be a fun ride in 2026
• 5:18:40
  because I feel like we've built a good, a good vibe, and a good
• 5:18:45
  relationship. We have our differences at
• 5:18:48
  everything that we do, but that's what Partners usually do.
• 5:18:51
  But I, I've grown to understand who you are as a person, not
• 5:18:56
  just as an athlete that I followed as a kid and or like to
• 5:19:00
  watch, you throw a ball. I I like throwing pitches at you
• 5:19:03
  and I'm sure you like to throw Jabs at me, but I feel like
• 5:19:07
  we've built something and where? Where building something that
• 5:19:11
  Could be something really, really special.
• 5:19:13
  And I think fans, and I say this, with, with love and
• 5:19:18
  compassion, if if it wasn't for the people, that understand what
• 5:19:22
  we're trying to do here, we wouldn't be here.
• 5:19:24
  So thank you. Totally you guys anyways, that's
• 5:19:27
  it. Good night.
• 5:19:29
  Thank all of you, appreciate it? Well, 2026.
• 5:19:32
  Here we come in the worldwide sports radio network.
