• 0:35
  Every Sprint in the summer, every Sanford Dice, early
• 0:42
  mornings on the levee, late nights in the film room, bus
• 0:47
  rides to playoff games. Every bump in the road, every
• 0:53
  moment of ecstasy, every moment of doubt, years wondering, is it
• 1:02
  all worth it? It's all led to this.
• 1:08
  Man, I got. This It's a 60 minute drive for
• 1:14
  a 60 minute game. After all the miles we've

  from the Warriors. Oh, in a pass and.

  To make it throws it down. What chance?
• 4:04
  This could be the pass of the year so.

• 4:52
  What's going on in the world of sports, you might ask?
• 4:56
  We got the NBA Finals coming up, the Larry O'Brien Trophy will be
• 5:00
  giving out to either the Indiana Pacers or the Thunder, and we
• 5:04
  got. Edmonton Oilers for the Panthers
• 5:08
  rematch of last year for the looking to create a dynasty.
• 5:13
  Edmonton looking to finally bring the Cup back to Canada
• 5:17
  College World Series into their Super Finals.
• 5:21
  Soon we'll have a champion in that as well.
• 5:24
  And we've got the final coming up in the feet in the Softball
• 5:28
  World Series. It's going to be Texas Tech
• 5:32
  versus Texas. Yeah, Texas Tech's been on kind
• 5:36
  of a run or an insane run in this tournament.
• 5:39
  The road that they've taken to get here is honestly been really
• 5:43
  tough. They're the 12 seed.
• 5:45
  They're going to play in a lot of of the higher, higher seeded
• 5:48
  teams. Yeah, and they they knocked off
• 5:51
  the powerhouse Oklahoma, who we thought was going to win it all.
• 5:56
  I mean, you had like the, you know, the Today show they were
• 6:01
  taught on talking about how Oklahoma built that powerhouse.
• 6:05
  I mean, this was supposed to be like a, a very special team and
• 6:09
  they, a scrappy Rebels team took him down.
• 6:12
  Now they got a shot for the whole thing.
• 6:16
  The Battle of Battle of Texas. The Queens of Texas is who this
• 6:21
  is going to crown, basically. I kind of want to go with the
• 6:24
  underdog. Here it was.
• 6:25
  Texas Tech roofer Texas. Texas Tech.
• 6:28
  I mean, yeah, they're. Let's just go with.
• 6:30
  Them the underdogs be it'd be cool to see them with this.
• 6:34
  Yeah. I don't think anybody that's you
• 6:39
  know will have predicted this in the the college softball world
• 6:43
  with all these teams in the tournament.
• 6:45
  So it'd be love to see a good underdog story here.
• 6:49
  Yeah, both of these schools actually knocked out Oklahoma.
• 6:54
  Sooners had to come back and rally through the elimination
• 6:57
  bracket in this one. They had to go through Ole Miss,
• 7:00
  and they had to beat Oregon to come back into the winner's
• 7:03
  bracket for Texas Tech. Ultimately, though, I'm going
• 7:06
  with Red Raiders right here. I'm going with Texas Tech.
• 7:09
  Let's go Red Raiders I. Think that's the That's the fun
• 7:12
  pick. Over on the men's bracket here
• 7:16
  into the Super Finals, so region one in Louisville, you got the
• 7:22
  Cardinal hosting the Miami Hurricanes and the Los Angeles
• 7:26
  region. UCLA has UTSA coming on in
• 7:31
  there. So honestly, interesting match
• 7:34
  up there. A lot of lot.
• 7:35
  I'm going Rd. Runners a lot.
• 7:37
  I'm going Rd. runners on this one man.
• 7:39
  You don't. You don't want to sleep on.
• 7:42
  Them let's Go and Corvallis OR state hosting Florida State
• 7:50
  eight and nine seed match up there to a couple of her
• 7:53
  heavyweights. That would be a great.
• 7:54
  In Durham, wherever the heck that is, Duke and Murray State
• 7:59
  going at it. So is that in Carolina or is
• 8:02
  that where Murray State's at? I'm not too.
• 8:06
  I'm not too good with my geography, folks.
• 8:09
  Baton Rouge. Meanwhile, the Tigers and LSU
• 8:12
  hosting the West Virginia Mountaineers.
• 8:15
  It is in North Carolina, OK. So it's Duke hosting Chapel
• 8:20
  Hill. That one I do know is in North
• 8:22
  Carolina to. Be hosted by the Tar Heels.
• 8:24
  Tar Heels taking on Arizona, who again, I don't want to, I don't
• 8:28
  want to sleep on them because they kind of ran this Eugene
• 8:31
  regional in this first bracket right here, beat Cal Poly,
• 8:37
  knocked out fourteen to four against Utah Valley and then the
• 8:42
  final game against Cal Poly was 14 to 0.
• 8:46
  Yeah, they can put some runs up. Yeah, this team's got some
• 8:49
  sluggers that can just, I mean, they're they're putting up runs
• 8:52
  left and right. Biggest upset of this entire
• 8:55
  World Series though. Oregon hosting the Eugene
• 8:58
  Regional and they played two games in it.
• 9:01
  Right. They've lost immediately.
• 9:03
  They've lost to Utah Valley and then Cal Folly 10/8 in the
• 9:08
  elimination bracket. Good run from them, though they
• 9:12
  had to get a walk off win on a on Sunday against Utah Valley to
• 9:17
  move on to the final. But the Wildcats, though, they
• 9:22
  kind of came in, flew under the radar.
• 9:23
  But I, I like that I'm honestly going for them here.
• 9:26
  I'm going big on upsets in the College World Series.
• 9:30
  Auburn going to be hosting Coastal Carolina and my pick for
• 9:35
  the whole thing, Arkansas Razorbacks, Fayetteville host in
• 9:40
  Tennessee for a series to go to the to the finals here and
• 9:46
  Arkansas in their bracket. Pretty good run out of them.
• 9:50
  They defeat North Dakota State 6 to 2 and then their two games
• 9:55
  against Creighton, who had to come back in the elimination
• 10:00
  bracket. First they get knocked out 12 to
• 10:02
  one and then they come in come back after 11 to 10 which holy
• 10:07
  crap that was a crazy. Game against 10.
• 10:09
  North Dakota State, no defense played in that one.
• 10:13
  Come back to you. Just get knocked out here by
• 10:17
  Arkansas again, eight to three. Don't let me down.
• 10:21
  Raise your backs. I'm I'm counting on you to have
• 10:25
  to prove me right. So let us know who you think's
• 10:29
  going to win it all and what you want to who you want to see move
• 10:33
  on. Is your team still alive in the
• 10:37
  College World Series? I kind of like this like this,
• 10:44
  though, there's a lot of teams that we don't really see matched
• 10:47
  up together too, too much in baseball.
• 10:50
  It's like LSU, West Virginia, you don't really get to see that
• 10:53
  match up a lot. UCLAUTSA that's.
• 10:58
  Yeah, it's 1 you. Can see Oregon State, Florida
• 11:01
  State, I mean those two schools, I mean across the country
• 11:05
  possibly get further from each other.
• 11:06
  It's literally opposite ends and one's on like the the top
• 11:11
  Northwest while the other's on the bottom or near the bottom SE
• 11:15
  it's so they're so far apart. You would see Arizona.
• 11:22
  That's a obviously another interesting 1.
• 11:24
  Auburn, Coastal Carolina, you got some cool classic rival in
• 11:30
  conference rivalry so as well. Arkansas, Tennessee ACC matchup
• 11:35
  between you, Louisville, Florida or Miami rather.
• 11:40
  Yeah, it's not too much of a disparity in the in the talent.
• 11:44
  It feels like there's once you get to kind of some schools,
• 11:49
  other other sports they're they're like a mid major, but
• 11:53
  they're baseball team like Rhode Island coming in here doing
• 11:58
  pretty well. They got knocked out and two
• 12:00
  lost 22 to 10 to Little Rock. But again, Little Rock going in
• 12:06
  there, they got a solid enough team to make it out of there.
• 12:09
  They made it to the final against LSU and made it a
• 12:13
  series. They won game one in this 110 to
• 12:15
  4. Now LSU almost got upset pretty
• 12:19
  bad. We almost saw Little Rock in
• 12:22
  here. Dude, Little Rock, they got
• 12:24
  eliminated 7 nothing in the first their first game and then
• 12:29
  look at this game against Rhode Island 2010 to 10.
• 12:34
  That's just boundaries man that is that's insane.
• 12:38
  See, can we get like the the full box score for this one?
• 12:45
  Second here, folks. Little Rock.
• 12:47
  There's record. Sorry, this website keeps
• 12:50
  playing ads. Little Rock's season record was
• 12:53
  25 and 33, but they're still they're still knocking teams out
• 12:58
  in this DBU. Someone they faced that second
• 13:02
  game in the elimination bracket was 41 and 17 in the regular
• 13:08
  season. They just barely made it in
• 13:12
  there. Shout out I'm be looking for
• 13:14
  Little Rock next season that that's going to be my new pick
• 13:18
  and. Through the 10 isn't 7.
• 13:23
  Rhode Island couldn't handle. It bad game to be a pitcher,
• 13:26
  especially if you're if you're Rhode Island.
• 13:30
  Holy crap. Another team hosting their their
• 13:36
  regional and get knocked out. Clemson.
• 13:41
  That'd be USC Upstate, but lose in the second game here to West
• 13:47
  Virginia and get knocked out of the elimination bracket by
• 13:50
  Kentucky. Yeah, I didn't even realize.
• 13:54
  Pretty badly. Two Wow, 16 to 4.
• 13:56
  Yeah, they got killed. Clemson.
• 13:59
  Come on, unseeded Kentucky? They don't even.
• 14:03
  They're not even ranked. They're not even ranked.
• 14:06
  Neither is West Virginia. Smack them.
• 14:09
  Some of these, yeah, these tournaments, you see some just
• 14:11
  crazy, like runs a lot, man. These pitchers be.
• 14:18
  That's a lot of pressure for him.
• 14:19
  For some of these guys, these are like the biggest games of
• 14:22
  their career. Like Saint Mary's here, Oregon
• 14:25
  State beat him 20 to 3. Wow, Oregon's almost They had to
• 14:33
  go through the elimination bracket on Larians, man.
• 14:36
  Yeah, they have a battle. Like they dropped one J around
• 14:40
  one against Saint Mary's and you know what looked like it was a
• 14:45
  wake up call for them because then after that, 7:00 to 2:20 to
• 14:49
  3:14 to 19 to nothing, they just smacked everybody on, climbed
• 14:56
  back out of that. Losing the first game and going
• 14:59
  out, they didn't go out sad at all.
• 15:01
  They went completely decks four games undefeated.
• 15:06
  Gentlemen sweep their way out of it and this was like a pretty
• 15:10
  good you got you got TCU in here pretty good Texas school but
• 15:14
  they get beat by USC 13 O1 an. Old mess of their their bracket.
• 15:22
  They also got eliminated by Murray State to start and nearly
• 15:27
  pulled the comeback up through the elimination bracket. 8 to 6
• 15:33
  victor of Western Kentucky. 11 to 9 victory over Georgia Tech,
• 15:38
  19 to 8 and then 12:00 to 11:00. So yeah, neither school had had
• 15:45
  an ace pitcher in that matchup. I kind of like though, that if
• 15:49
  you go out of the elimination bracket, you got to beat that
• 15:51
  team twice. It makes it a little bit more a
• 15:56
  little bit more of a series in that regional.
• 15:59
  They're like makes it a more of a final it feels like.
• 16:03
  Do you like? That?
• 16:04
  Just provides a very interesting style of tournament that I'm a
• 16:11
  big fan of. All right, that's going to do it
• 16:14
  for our College World Series coverage.
• 16:18
  Let us know who you're rooting for.
• 16:19
  If your team's still in it, we'll be giving you an update as
• 16:22
  a winner will likely be determined or close to being
• 16:26
  determined by the time we do our show next week, and we'll give
• 16:29
  you the update. Hi, Caveman.
• 16:31
  Where are we heading to now? You ought to take a quick pit
• 16:35
  stop over in the UFO. Yeah, let's head on over to the
• 16:41
  UFL. Week 10 is in the books.
• 16:48
  You know, play offs had already been set, so we didn't really
• 16:51
  see a whole lot of starters come on in there.
• 16:58
  But get to our first game here, which was on Friday.
• 17:06
  Give me one second, folks. We're lagging a bit here.
• 17:15
  Oh yeah, we we almost got hit by straight EMP in here.
• 17:20
  I got it. I got it going up now here.
• 17:23
  Finally got the website loaded. Here we go Week 10.
• 17:26
  First game was the Battlehawks and Defenders and a just gross
• 17:33
  ugly defensive battle. Neither squad had either of
• 17:39
  their starters playing. Interestingly enough, apparently
• 17:44
  they're seating. Don't exactly remember what they
• 17:47
  they said the the ruling was for that.
• 17:50
  But for some reason whether the Defenders won their losses game,
• 17:54
  the Battle Hawks would still be above them.
• 17:56
  So they do their seating a little bit differently.
• 17:58
  That is, that is very different. So yeah, say a touchdown in the
• 18:05
  safety in the first half, follow that up by another score from
• 18:12
  the Battle Hawks. Or rather, 2 field goals from
• 18:15
  the Battle Hawks going into half time and then zeros until
• 18:20
  Birmingham got a late score and then nothing else.
• 18:25
  Not Birmingham. DC got a late score and then
• 18:28
  nothing else really happened in that game yet.
• 18:30
  Brandon Silvers and Mike Dileo and at quarterback, no starters
• 18:37
  played in this one except for Hakeem Butler.
• 18:39
  Was in for for like a play or two sandwich Jacor Pearson.
• 18:46
  And even though it was mostly backups there on the Battle
• 18:49
  Hawks defense, they still locked stuff down.
• 18:54
  Got 3 sacks on the day, almost had an interception, got dropped
• 18:59
  it but didn't force a fumble. So this isn't the start.
• 19:05
  The starters set out this week, but this will be the rematch
• 19:09
  here in our conference finals. It'll be the Battle Hawks and
• 19:13
  the Defenders squaring off again for a chance to go to the
• 19:18
  championship. That's the first game of our
• 19:23
  week, then as we head on over to our second game.
• 19:28
  For the Panthers, again, week or no starters really played for
• 19:33
  either team. Kind of just gave the Roughnecks
• 19:36
  a little confidence booster to end the season there.
• 19:38
  Yeah, we had. We had Rocky Lombardi coming in
• 19:44
  this game, throwing 8 for 1861. Yards.
• 19:48
  Awesome name though. Well then.
• 19:50
  Rocky Lombardi's pretty sick. That was that was the guy I
• 19:53
  wanted us to start in the offseason.
• 19:55
  But I he's more, he's one of our younger dudes.
• 19:58
  He's got the least experience out of the three, right?
• 20:02
  I mean, a solid, solid game overall.
• 20:05
  I mean, if you're just, if you're a Roughnecks fan.
• 20:09
  Got a win, not really great game out of Jalen McClellan, 17 of 31
• 20:14
  for 193. Their offense really just
• 20:19
  benefited from some shorter fields at times.
• 20:21
  Again, this is a real, you know, slow game.
• 20:27
  Wasn't the wasn't the most exciting week in football.
• 20:29
  We're going to be. We're going to be honest.
• 20:32
  A lot of fumbles, a lot of punts, a lot of field goals.
• 20:36
  In this game, they're just looking at the drive chart for
• 20:40
  the freaking Houston Roughnecks. They got kick off, fumble, punt,
• 20:44
  kick off, touchdown, field goal, field goal, punt, turnover on
• 20:51
  downs, 2 punts and then it's the end of the game.
• 20:56
  So Panthers, obviously, they're rusting their starters.
• 20:59
  They'll be ready to go next week when they play Birmingham.
• 21:04
  We got to play Birmingham, we got a tough game next.
• 21:06
  Week that'll be a tough one. If you're Houston looking to
• 21:12
  upgrade your offensive line and maybe find a guy that can be,
• 21:19
  you know, an elite or just a a good pass rusher for you.
• 21:23
  They never really had anybody at that.
• 21:26
  Will Jalen McClellan come back? The is that who you want as
• 21:30
  recorded back next year? That'll be a question.
• 21:32
  I mean, I think they'll probably roll with him as it'll just be
• 21:35
  easier than trying to replace him and maybe just try to get
• 21:39
  him another weapon or two and a a guy that can be an honest #1
• 21:45
  running back. That's what I felt the the.
• 21:48
  It was week after weeks kind of figuring out is it merit?
• 21:53
  Is it lingered and it really wasn't either of them, honestly,
• 21:57
  like 51 yards rushing in this game.
• 21:59
  They won the football game. Yeah. 51 yards rush.
• 22:04
  What wasn't a whole lot that they, well, either team did run
• 22:09
  in the football. Well, a brutal, brutal season
• 22:14
  ends for the San Antonio Brahms as we come to our third game
• 22:17
  here. Man, what a fall off this team
• 22:23
  had. They weren't like they were like
• 22:25
  8 and 2, seven and three, something like that last year.
• 22:28
  They're going to finish the season 1 and 9 and they fall.
• 22:33
  And the pretty convincing fashion to Arlington, who
• 22:37
  finishes 5:00 and 5:00 on the year.
• 22:40
  It is 20 to 3 at half time this game was over.
• 22:43
  And you can see it on both sides where they just Arlington had an
• 22:48
  explosion in the second-half where they scored 20 points and
• 22:54
  or yeah, where they scored 20 points, 2 touchdowns, 2 field
• 22:57
  goals. Game was over then and they
• 23:00
  just. And you're just running the ball
• 23:04
  and taking time off the clock for an entire.
• 23:06
  Half Arlington's just looking to get out of there with a win.
• 23:09
  Birmingham was just hoping that, mercifully, their season would
• 23:14
  end. Next year, man, I think this the
• 23:19
  offensive line for the Renegades needs some work.
• 23:22
  Luis Perez did some of their losses.
• 23:25
  He was just under siege. Getting sacked.
• 23:27
  Every play right and then I think they just need couple more
• 23:30
  guys in the secondary really. I liked some of the production,
• 23:34
  the defensive line next season we could really see the
• 23:37
  Renegades be I mean they I think just a couple of the right
• 23:43
  pieces. They could really be a
• 23:44
  juggernaut squad, too. I mean, they've got an ability
• 23:47
  to put up points, put up yardages.
• 23:49
  Perez, I think, is a top, has been a top three, you know?
• 23:53
  He's pretty good. Just in terms of production at
• 23:55
  least, you know, the winds haven't really been there.
• 23:58
  But production wise, I mean he produces a lot of numbers, a lot
• 24:01
  of yards. So he's a, he's a, you got your
• 24:05
  quarterback there. You just got to really build
• 24:07
  around him. Somebody Sal Cannella, somebody
• 24:10
  to kind of go alongside him. We just never really saw a
• 24:13
  consistent somebody consistent at the wide receiver group.
• 24:17
  But you got a good tight end there.
• 24:19
  Winstead, yeah, maybe he could be that guy, but I would
• 24:22
  honestly just more prefer you. You try to bring somebody else
• 24:27
  in. Because he got time in the
• 24:29
  offseason. Dude I just for the Brahmas I I
• 24:33
  really don't even know where to. They're they're full blown
• 24:37
  rebuild. Where do you go I mean?
• 24:38
  It's full blown rebuild. Honestly, I feel like anything
• 24:42
  that they can get going. If this is 'cause this, this
• 24:45
  wasn't too different of a team, no that went to the championship
• 24:49
  last year and it was a completely different product.
• 24:53
  I mean guys like Jonte Kirkland non non existent.
• 24:57
  The fact he was one of the best receivers in the UFL 2 years ago
• 25:02
  this year just gone McFarland, Jon Lovett were great backs on
• 25:09
  their their their championship season.
• 25:11
  Just non existent this year. I just yeah, I don't know.
• 25:16
  I mean, I think it's just going to have to start with the
• 25:18
  complete like coaching staff overhaul.
• 25:21
  That's probably honest, maybe front office.
• 25:23
  I think that's where you got to start and.
• 25:26
  Is it going to have been something like?
• 25:29
  Like. Other than.
• 25:31
  It just it couldn't just be. I just don't think that was a
• 25:34
  like a fluke when they went to the championship, they were
• 25:36
  really good. And like, this is just a
• 25:39
  complete flip. And I know like Wade Phillips
• 25:42
  retired on I think, yeah, you just got to get it.
• 25:47
  Start with the coaching staff, see if you know, the guys you
• 25:51
  bring in can build something and then start swapping out players
• 25:55
  from there. But I don't know if there's
• 25:56
  really much this team's going to be able to do to to.
• 26:00
  Get back the same squad. Certainly not.
• 26:04
  They're certainly not going to be, you know, back.
• 26:07
  I mean, maybe they'll shock us, but I don't think they'll be
• 26:10
  back up to a championship caliber before that before next
• 26:17
  season. There's a There's a lot to do
• 26:20
  here. Tough year for the Brahmas man,
• 26:23
  right? Another tough year for the
• 26:24
  showboats and it ends in the embarrassing fashion. 49 to 6
• 26:29
  man for 46 to 9. Oh my God.
• 26:34
  Is your final and this is backups for most of the game
• 26:40
  with the with the stocks, I think their starters played a
• 26:44
  little in the first half and then it was just backups.
• 26:49
  They had a, an incredible pick six that made it on the ESP NS
• 26:56
  Top 10 or this. But the guy that caught it
• 26:59
  blanking on his end #20 fakes the pitch, just snatches this
• 27:03
  guy's ankles, and then he houses it.
• 27:06
  They were just, yeah, just domination by the stallions.
• 27:11
  That's a lot of confidence. They only had nine drives in
• 27:14
  this game. A lot of confidence going into
• 27:20
  your into your next game, which is going to be in the playoffs,
• 27:24
  so. 9 drives they scored on every single drive except for
• 27:30
  the final one or they were just chewing the clock out final four
• 27:33
  minutes. At the I mean like they have
• 27:35
  less drives than the showboats too.
• 27:38
  And it was just like they just marched it down the field every
• 27:41
  time, did got whatever they wanted, took, played at exactly
• 27:47
  the pace they wanted, put the ball in the end zone there
• 27:50
  between the uprights every time, I mean.
• 27:52
  There's two pick sixes in this game because none of their
• 27:55
  drives started from an interception.
• 27:57
  They have three drives that started from a punt, but there's
• 28:01
  two there's two showboats drives that result in an interception.
• 28:06
  There's. Two pick sixes.
• 28:08
  Dresser wins 2 picks 13 and 24. Yeah, I don't think he's your
• 28:12
  answer there. Memphis wasn't a good team last
• 28:17
  year. They weren't a good team this
• 28:19
  year. They still got a lot of
• 28:20
  rebuilding to do here. Comment coming in.
• 28:24
  At the end of this season. OK, all right.
• 28:29
  Yeah, we got a shout out kick, man.
• 28:34
  Shout out. Shout out gambling streaming on
• 28:37
  Kick, you got to love it. Right.
• 28:40
  Big big fan. There again, big, like you were
• 28:47
  saying, big confidence game because the last two weeks were
• 28:50
  the Stallions, man, they didn't look good.
• 28:52
  They did not look very good last two.
• 28:54
  Weeks ability to hit big plays. They didn't look good.
• 28:57
  Like if they couldn't hit a big play and I mean they they didn't
• 29:00
  really move the football all that well this week.
• 29:03
  Yeah, they just marched down the field.
• 29:06
  So now I mean they put that all together, that big play ability
• 29:10
  plus that ability to sustain drives, generate takeaways and
• 29:14
  scores off of takeaways. I mean jeez, we might be looking
• 29:18
  at a what would this be a four peat form?
• 29:21
  It would be. It'd be four in a row.
• 29:23
  Because they went to Birmingham two in a row in the USFL and
• 29:27
  then they won year one of the UUFL.
• 29:30
  So this would be 4. Straight championships like
• 29:33
  it'll. Be a tough team to beat, man.
• 29:35
  They are going to be. One Michigan Panthers We got
• 29:38
  this. We can do this.
• 29:40
  So final standings on the year in the UFO Conference, you're
• 29:46
  first place in the Birmingham Stallions 7 and three Panthers
• 29:50
  2nd at 6:00 and 4:00, the Roughnecks at 5:00 and 5:00, and
• 29:54
  then the Showboats and the last at 2:00 and 8:00.
• 29:57
  Then you go into the XFL Conference.
• 29:59
  Saint Louis Battle Hawks are your first place to 8 and two
• 30:03
  best record in the league. I mean good for.
• 30:05
  Them. That's we love to see that.
• 30:09
  The DC Defenders six and four, second place in that Arlington
• 30:14
  Renegades five and five and the San Antonio Broncos were one and
• 30:19
  9. Arlington could have probably
• 30:21
  easily taken the DC's place if they just, you know, played a
• 30:26
  little bit better. Yeah, 'cause the last games.
• 30:29
  Some dumb mistakes and a little bit of a they hit a bit of a
• 30:33
  cold stretch early in the season and that just kind of made a
• 30:38
  real uphill climb for them to make the playoffs.
• 30:41
  Yeah, DC lost their last two, which honestly doesn't help them
• 30:45
  going into the play offs against Saint Louis Arlington, though if
• 30:50
  they if they didn't have that cold stretch like you're saying
• 30:52
  early winning their last two games in the season, like having
• 30:57
  just one more win, they they really could have been competing
• 30:59
  for that second place spot. Nowhere anywhere close to the
• 31:04
  Brahmas though, losing 6 straight to end the year.
• 31:08
  Yeah, I just that's depressing. That was just bad.
• 31:12
  Who? I don't even remember who
• 31:13
  they're only when was it was I. Think.
• 31:16
  They convincing one, are they? I think they beat Memphis.
• 31:21
  I think it was Memphis that they beat.
• 31:24
  When? When was that?
• 31:26
  That was week 4 if I'm not mistaken.
• 31:32
  Well, they beat the DC Defenders Week 424 to 18.
• 31:38
  That was the game where we, I think we said, oh, you know
• 31:41
  what? Hey, looks like they're they're
• 31:43
  remembering the type of team they were last year like.
• 31:46
  Yeah, it was early in. The year they'll get it going.
• 31:48
  And then Nope, they just all fell apart again.
• 31:52
  Because they had a tough loss Week 3 before this win.
• 31:55
  The Panthers only beat him by three points going into this
• 31:59
  game in their win. And then they Week 5 was 27 to
• 32:03
  three loss against the Roughnecks, and then they lost
• 32:06
  26 to 3. That's 2432 showboats and week
• 32:11
  8. Yeah, that one was close.
• 32:12
  Overtime game there. Then they just got blanked.
• 32:18
  The last two weeks of the season, 39 to 13 and then 23 to
• 32:23
  6 just. Beaten down.
• 32:26
  They're battered after this season.
• 32:28
  This is a tough year for San. Antonio, at least you got the,
• 32:33
  the Spurs, they're obviously that's, you know, that's who
• 32:36
  you're, you're more invested in anyways, 1B.
• 32:40
  Oh yeah, Darren. Fox, the second overall pick.
• 32:44
  That's an interesting position for the Spurs to be in.
• 32:47
  That'll be something we discuss as we come closer to the draft
• 32:49
  time. We've been going for about half
• 32:51
  an hour, Caveman. What do you say we we head over
• 32:53
  to a break here and when we come back, we got the NBA Finals
• 32:59
  match up set. We got the Stanley Cup Finals
• 33:02
  match up set. Yes, we do.
• 33:04
  Lot to discuss there, lot to dive into.
• 33:07
  So we'll have that and more coming up here.
• 33:10
  Until the final whistle by military broadcast Radio, stay
• 33:15
  with us. The station where our veterans
• 36:43
  voices are heard. MBR talk.
• 36:47
  Hey thanks for tuning. In Welcome Back are those of the
• 36:51
  speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions
• 36:56
  of any entities they represent. The web at MB radio dot.
• 37:02
  You are looking live, everyone, till the final whistle.
• 37:06
  Back in the house. We finished up our coverage of
• 37:09
  the College World Series for softball and baseball, UFL Week
• 37:14
  10. They're headed into their
• 37:15
  playoffs. We got those matchups out of the
• 37:17
  way and now we got some champions that are ready to be
• 37:21
  crowned. Where do we want to start?
• 37:24
  Honestly, I feel like we got to take a look over here at the
• 37:28
  rematch, right? Because and should.
• 37:32
  We cover these final games of each conference series.
• 37:35
  And just what what happened to these teams that fell to the
• 37:39
  Panthers and the Oilers? I mean, on the Western
• 37:45
  Conference side, I think the Dallas Stars.
• 37:48
  What? What?
• 37:49
  Happened completely fell apart. That was a one of the worst
• 37:55
  collapses by a team I've ever seen.
• 37:57
  I mean, they just, they fell apart.
• 38:00
  They couldn't do anything right. They were a team in the entire
• 38:03
  playoffs that was like they were the best at closing out games.
• 38:07
  Right. I mean they they went from
• 38:10
  always being in it to just getting walked over by Edmonton
• 38:15
  here. This Game 5 is the closest game
• 38:18
  six to three. Otherwise, if they lost by 5 in
• 38:22
  game three, they lost by three-game 4.
• 38:25
  Shut up 3. Nothing.
• 38:27
  In Game 2. They looked really good coming
• 38:30
  into game one. Six to three victory.
• 38:32
  You're like, OK. Whatever it's going.
• 38:34
  To be a series man, this some big some big boys going at it
• 38:39
  and did they just crumble under the lights?
• 38:42
  I mean like the some of their stars, just I mean, Miko, what
• 38:47
  was it like 8 games now, 7-8 games straight to close out the
• 38:51
  postseason without the goal? That can't happen.
• 38:54
  Wyatt Johnston was, I mean, even in the win, he wasn't really
• 38:59
  that good. Yeah, it was more like there was
• 39:02
  other guys that were out. Grundling were shot.
• 39:05
  I thought they were pretty. They were they were very over
• 39:09
  underwhelming. Rather did Jake Ottinger man, I
• 39:12
  do got he got yanked so early in this.
• 39:14
  I was hyping them up all post season like that.
• 39:17
  That's the best goalie all post season.
• 39:19
  And I mean Edmonton, just Edmonton, said.
• 39:22
  They held him upside down and shook his pockets.
• 39:24
  They must have been watching the show.
• 39:26
  They're like this guy H GS hyping up this dude we're
• 39:29
  getting in the film. Room, but he gave up two goals
• 39:33
  early to start game five and they just yanked him
• 39:35
  immediately. I mean, he was out after 7
• 39:39
  minutes and 9 seconds into the game and they're like, you're
• 39:42
  right, let's look, let's go. I mean, I'm going to be honest,
• 39:45
  man, put, put, put our boy, put our boys the ABS in this series.
• 39:53
  Different story. Different.
• 39:55
  Story right, I was like honestly, the ABS would have
• 40:00
  probably choked at the end of the game like because that's
• 40:03
  what they did but that's how they they gave this the stars
• 40:07
  their their their first series win but.
• 40:10
  The Jets and the ABS made the freaking Dallas Stars look a lot
• 40:13
  better than they are. I feel like because they yes,
• 40:16
  they were closing out games against these two teams, knocked
• 40:20
  us out in seven, knocked out The Jets in six.
• 40:22
  Best team in the conference, beat him by beat him in six
• 40:25
  games. But like that's games that like
• 40:27
  the ABS let's slip. Not really in any way that like
• 40:31
  the Dallas Stars were playing better than the Avalon.
• 40:34
  I think with this. It's just we let the game slip
• 40:35
  out of our hands. What this really proved is that
• 40:38
  the the best team in the West was still the oil.
• 40:43
  It was still the, was still the. Freaking the way they went
• 40:45
  through this, probably season 2. Six games against the Kings, who
• 40:49
  were a higher seed again, best team in their in their side of
• 40:53
  the bracket. Golden Knights Vegas, who's a
• 40:56
  newer team that's just kind of really dominant, honestly.
• 41:00
  Went through the kill, come out. 65.
• 41:02
  The Knights in five, the stars in five.
• 41:06
  They were. And you watch those series back
• 41:08
  and you're like, OK, this is still like the best team in the
• 41:11
  West. Connor McDavid still the best
• 41:15
  player on the planet. Oh man, his I don't know if
• 41:19
  you've seen it. They have like a little there's
• 41:21
  a doggy series on HBOA lot the Oilers that came out last season
• 41:27
  during the the Stanley Cup finals.
• 41:29
  That dude's post game speech to that Game 7 halftime.
• 41:33
  I mean, I'm surprised they didn't come back and win that
• 41:35
  game after. Dude was just screaming in the
• 41:37
  locker room to everybody like it was.
• 41:41
  Can't actually repeat what he's saying on the show, but he's
• 41:44
  like, find it in yourselves right now.
• 41:48
  Right. I mean, when And that that's
• 41:49
  inspired, man, when your best player calls upon you like that,
• 41:52
  like the good, good players, good role players, they'll
• 41:56
  answer the call, man. They answer the bell.
• 41:59
  And they're the Oilers. Yeah, They were on a mission and
• 42:03
  they pretty much rolled their way through their opponents.
• 42:06
  I mean, the Kings gave them the most trouble.
• 42:08
  And I think that's because the Kings got a chip on his shoulder
• 42:12
  with the Oilers. Big big bro on them every post
• 42:15
  season for like the past four years.
• 42:17
  Yeah, the Kings wanted this one. Well, that not enough because
• 42:21
  they got they, they got little bro again by the Oilers.
• 42:24
  So they're going to have to try to get them next year.
• 42:28
  It was what? This was a fourth straight time
• 42:31
  Edmonton's knocked the Kings out of the playoffs.
• 42:34
  Yeah, and I think it's like the fourth straight time in the
• 42:37
  first round too. I'll have to look at last year's
• 42:41
  bracket, but I'm pretty sure they matched up against each
• 42:44
  other last year. King's looking a lot better than
• 42:47
  they were last year as well. Got a higher seed and
• 42:49
  everything. Still couldn't do it.
• 42:53
  Still couldn't do it. Florida on the opposite end here
• 42:56
  the. Panthers a dynasty.
• 43:00
  They're kind of brewing, honestly.
• 43:01
  In the making. Yeah, they're, it's a dynasty
• 43:04
  that is potentially brewing because they're a very good
• 43:07
  team. They only had to go they're.
• 43:11
  So deep too, man. I mean, Bobrowski still one of
• 43:17
  the best goalies in all of the sport.
• 43:19
  They've got Seth Jones, Eck Ball, Frill Singh, Nate Schmidt,
• 43:25
  Nico Mikola, like all those guys are such great defense wins.
• 43:29
  And then your your forwards, your attackers are Hagee to
• 43:31
  Chuck Rodriguez, Sam Reinhart, Brad Mcchain, Sam Bennett,
• 43:38
  Alexander Barkov. I was like the the team that
• 43:42
  they've put together and then been able to maintain.
• 43:46
  It's just something special here.
• 43:51
  Great team that the Panthers got.
• 43:54
  I mean going through it, they win this series in 5 making the
• 43:57
  Carolina Hurricanes defense look like absolutely nothing I think.
• 44:01
  They did a lot of what like Carolina did defensively to
• 44:06
  other teams that made like that made the Hurricane such a
• 44:10
  problem for the teams that they faced the the Capitals, the
• 44:14
  Devils, things that really made that like Carolina made
• 44:18
  difficult on those teams just got flipped back on and they
• 44:22
  didn't know how to handle that. And that was.
• 44:30
  Million ads planned. Thanks, ESPN.com.
• 44:33
  All right. Thanks guys.
• 44:36
  Yeah. Third straight Stanley Cup
• 44:38
  appearance for the for the Panthers.
• 44:41
  Looking to win back-to-back, but they got one heck of a challenge
• 44:48
  in front of them. Game 1:00 tonight.
• 44:51
  A thirsty Oilers team. I I'm honestly good I'm.
• 44:55
  I took him to seven last year. Game one, it's in Edmonton.
• 44:59
  I'm a game one Oilers. It's tonight, too.
• 45:04
  Lock it in dude. Lock it in.
• 45:06
  Oilers take game one. I like that.
• 45:08
  Oilers at home here. So like, where do these teams
• 45:13
  like, I mean, they just match up super well.
• 45:15
  I think Florida is better. They've got like just more death
• 45:19
  on the defenceman side. But I think the Oilers, they've
• 45:25
  just got better athletes in terms of in terms of forwards,
• 45:28
  man like. If they're yeah, if they can get
• 45:31
  down, they can get down. Like if Dry Sidle and Connor
• 45:35
  McDavid are on it or going on one, like that's nearly
• 45:41
  impossible to stop. And I think where for the
• 45:45
  housing advantage is that they have just more depth overall.
• 45:48
  But I think Edmonton's strength started stronger up front.
• 45:54
  And I mean, they're used to going like they can.
• 45:56
  They can go for a lot like a long period of time in these
• 46:00
  games, you know, without a lot of rest.
• 46:02
  Oh, yeah. So that's not a huge issue for
• 46:04
  him there. It's going to be, it's going to
• 46:09
  be interesting to watch here. So game one, what's our
• 46:14
  prediction here? We're saying Edmonton takes
• 46:17
  this? Give me like a 5 to 3 Edmonton
• 46:21
  win here, all right? I think we're going to get some
• 46:22
  points scored here. Then Game 2 prediction here Give
• 46:29
  me. 2. Give me Panthers in overtime for
• 46:32
  the three. They're going to steal one on
• 46:34
  the road. All right, we're going to go
• 46:38
  flip it to game three. We're in for the Then the Oilers
• 46:41
  come back out, they shock the Panthers and they're home opener
• 46:46
  of the series. Now I think that one might be
• 46:48
  like. They're going to win this one
• 46:50
  like 3 to 1/2 and this is where it's going to.
• 46:52
  Yeah, I was going to say 41 there like 3141 in this game.
• 46:57
  They're going to talk or that's going to come in maybe a little
• 46:59
  overconfident versus, you know, Edmonton, which is going to be
• 47:04
  they're going to be angry after they drop that one and a lot
• 47:08
  more aggressive. That's going to catch the
• 47:10
  Panthers off guard. But they're going to even it
• 47:11
  back up on their home ice. 6:00 to 2:00 in Game 4, They're going
• 47:18
  to just be cooking. I mean, everybody's going to be
• 47:20
  getting on in on the action. Six goals, I'm guessing they're
• 47:23
  scored by 6 different guys too. Like that, that type of thing
• 47:27
  there. That's how this series is going
• 47:30
  to go. Game five, we're going to come
• 47:33
  back to Edmonton and shock the Panthers.
• 47:39
  They're going to squeak one out here in the hyper defensive
• 47:41
  match up to the one. I think this like another OT
• 47:45
  like last second type of game there right?
• 47:48
  You come down to the wire. And then game six, though,
• 47:52
  Edmonton's going to again go balls to the wall, force a Game
• 47:57
  7 and like a three to two win. We're going to get then another
• 48:04
  really high stakes game seven in this series because I think it,
• 48:09
  I think another game series is almost just bound to happen.
• 48:12
  These are I think these are clearly the best two teams in
• 48:15
  hockey right now. Oh yeah, I agree.
• 48:18
  Like we this playoffs, I mean like that they just got it
• 48:23
  right. I mean, the best two teams, they
• 48:25
  made it through. They made.
• 48:27
  It through the playoffs. All that's all the NHL why like
• 48:32
  they've got like the the talent and both conferences like it
• 48:37
  you're usually getting the best two teams in the in the Stanley
• 48:43
  Cup Finals most used. Well, at least when you get to
• 48:45
  that point, like when you start breaking down the matchups like
• 48:49
  we are here today, yeah, you kind of end, you come to the
• 48:52
  conclusion you're like, all right, these are definitely the
• 48:54
  best. Teams, something that does
• 48:55
  happen, I think with the NBA is like, you'll like as you're
• 48:58
  watching the playoffs, you'll like watch the series.
• 49:00
  You're like, huh, That kind of felt like the real finals right
• 49:03
  there, you know? Yeah, yeah, I, I feel you on
• 49:07
  that one. I feel you on that one because
• 49:09
  you'll. But game seven, my prediction
• 49:12
  here going to overtime, decent amount of goals scored on both
• 49:18
  sides, but also some incredible defensive plays.
• 49:22
  But the man himself, Colin Mcdavid's going to score the
• 49:25
  overtime goal to make Edmonton the Champs.
• 49:29
  They're going to win five to four and they're going to bring
• 49:32
  the cup back. Bring it back to Canada.
• 49:35
  I like that. I like that prediction.
• 49:36
  Honestly, I think, I think we locked that one in.
• 49:40
  I think we locked that one in here on the show today.
• 49:43
  But Edmonton taking it back. That's that's just one way I
• 49:48
  could see the series going whole.
• 49:50
  Like it makes a lot of sense that either team could win it in
• 49:53
  six, that either team could win it in seven.
• 49:58
  I could see like 4 though. There's a million different ways
• 50:01
  that they can win it. That's just I think that's what
• 50:05
  I what from this prediction, this is someone I just most
• 50:09
  wanna see as well. There's so many different ways
• 50:12
  that this is going to go. Fantastic series that we got
• 50:16
  coming up here. I saw somebody say that we went
• 50:20
  O for four on sports championships from these seasons
• 50:25
  and like, just from like the World Series, Super Bowl up
• 50:30
  until now of our, our past four championships.
• 50:33
  And I'm like, that's kind of crazy to me.
• 50:35
  So before we move on, I got to just get your opinion on this
• 50:37
  caveman because I let's start. Let me Dodgers, Dodgers, Yankees
• 50:44
  World Series last year. I mean, both league and VPS
• 50:49
  against two like 2 stacked rosters in the biggest markets,
• 50:55
  right? Tons of star power like home run
• 50:58
  hitting potential. Some great pictures on both
• 51:02
  sides. Well, we we definitely predicted
• 51:06
  the Dodgers win that series. Right.
• 51:09
  I'm like, I like, OK, you can maybe make the argument that's
• 51:13
  like, it's just like the two biggest markets.
• 51:15
  Like that's I, I guess that's like you can say it's boring in
• 51:19
  a sense, you know, because like those are the teams that are
• 51:22
  supposed to be there, I suppose, But they like they like they
• 51:26
  just got studs all the like. Both of those teams were
• 51:28
  stacked. Like there were so many good
• 51:29
  players on there. Like you're just, I mean, it was
• 51:31
  like $2 billion rosters going. That's that's.
• 51:35
  The most expensive teams in the league.
• 51:37
  Right, like hey, wait, that's what you want to watch like it's
• 51:39
  OK, like it like it's OK to like that too.
• 51:43
  You know you can be like it's, you know, not as cool because
• 51:49
  it's not some like home grown, you know like scrapping under
• 51:51
  dog team. I can get that, but I think
• 51:53
  ultimately that's still a good match up regardless of how you
• 51:57
  feel about big market teams. Then let's go to the Super Bowl.
• 52:01
  The Chiefs trying to do something that was never done
• 52:03
  before in NFL history in three peat versus one of the most well
• 52:08
  constructed teams we've ever seen in NFL history.
• 52:12
  That was, I mean, firing on all cylinders.
• 52:15
  So like the like the perfect dynasty Buster team that was
• 52:20
  assembled essentially with, you know, MVP caliber player running
• 52:25
  back load like tons of weapons everywhere.
• 52:28
  And yeah, the game ended up being a blowout, but going into
• 52:34
  it, you can't say that oh, that didn't seem like a good matchup.
• 52:37
  And then like even that being a blowout.
• 52:40
  Dude, everybody that doesn't live in Kansas or Missouri hates
• 52:43
  the Chiefs. So we all like we all loved
• 52:46
  watching. We saw the villain.
• 52:48
  Right, we want like it was watching the villains of the
• 52:51
  league finally be defeated like this new up and coming hero
• 52:55
  finally takes him down well, like it was.
• 52:58
  Because the Eagles and Chiefs, it's kind of like Edmonton,
• 53:01
  Florida, Yeah. And like, Florida got him last
• 53:04
  year, maybe Edmonton's got the chance to get him this year.
• 53:09
  We could see a huge, we could see it.
• 53:10
  It could be like this huge Super Bowl.
• 53:12
  Right. And now, like on the Super Bowl,
• 53:14
  like the storyline that we get out of this is like the the
• 53:19
  Chiefs, they or the Eagles beat the villain, you know, Will the
• 53:22
  villain come back? Will the Eagles become the you
• 53:25
  know? Yeah, what's going to?
• 53:27
  Die a hero or a bit long enough to see yourself become the
• 53:30
  villain, You know, like, that's that storyline for me, Yeah.
• 53:33
  Then we get to the Stanley Cup. I love the storyline here.
• 53:37
  I mean, the two best teams undisputedly, I think they they
• 53:42
  prove that through their play in the postseason.
• 53:45
  Again, just like loaded with star power and star players.
• 53:53
  You've got a team trying to create the dynasty as they're
• 53:56
  they're making their third straight appearance, looking for
• 53:58
  their second straight win versus the other team with the best
• 54:02
  player in the world that's trying to bring back the Cup to
• 54:06
  the country where the sport is the biggest.
• 54:08
  You know, trying to bring the Cup back to to Houston to not
• 54:13
  Houston to Canada. I don't know where I was getting
• 54:17
  Houston. My fault, right?
• 54:20
  And it's going to be a great match.
• 54:21
  And then we get to the NBA and our finals here.
• 54:27
  Is honestly 22 small market squats that are up and coming
• 54:33
  and I really enjoy that about this series who?
• 54:36
  Because like naturally developed ground teams that are small
• 54:40
  market that have like 2 great, 2 great young stars, one of the
• 54:48
  best isolation scorers in the game versus one of the best
• 54:52
  playmakers and distributors in the game.
• 54:54
  You know, elite ISO scorer and Shay Gildrus Alexander versus
• 54:59
  elite playmaker and Tyrese Halliburton.
• 55:03
  Both teams have tons of depth. They've got great head coaches,
• 55:07
  best offense versus best defense.
• 55:11
  Some people aren't giving the Pacers a lot of chance and I do
• 55:15
  think Oklahoma City, I hate to say, if I think they're probably
• 55:19
  going to win this. Probably.
• 55:22
  In six, and I think we're still going to get some incredible
• 55:27
  moments out of this. Like I was saying though,
• 55:30
  sometimes, especially in the NBA in recent years, you'll get like
• 55:35
  a series in the West that feels like the actual Finals.
• 55:40
  And this year? I think the actual finals was
• 55:43
  round two. Nuggets, Nuggets.
• 55:46
  Thunder. That's what I've said a lot like
• 55:47
  that's what a lot of people I I've heard say is that, yeah,
• 55:50
  like the the real batch up of the two best teams probably
• 55:54
  happened in between OK C and and Denver.
• 55:57
  Honestly, though, I couldn't. I can't really say that the
• 56:01
  Nuggets were one of the best teams in this though, just based
• 56:04
  on like if you want to factor in like every single little detail
• 56:09
  like the depth of the rosters. Played.
• 56:12
  That's true. That's true.
• 56:13
  And that and like how competitive that series was and
• 56:15
  how how they pushed them to the edge.
• 56:18
  Yeah, compared to the next two, you know, Minnesota beating the
• 56:22
  Warriors in five and then the Thunder beating the Timberwolves
• 56:25
  in. Five.
• 56:26
  It's kind of crazy that like also I think the Thunder
• 56:29
  Timberwolves last year that. Was a better series.
• 56:33
  Like neither of those teams even made it to the finals, but like
• 56:36
  that was like just an an insane match up.
• 56:39
  There it was a way better. That was a great series last
• 56:42
  year. But to add on to what you're
• 56:44
  saying, like that these teams were built up from the ground,
• 56:48
  OKC, remember all those draft picks that they had, that they
• 56:52
  had like literally like from? Paul George, dude.
• 56:54
  From Paul George trading Paul George getting SGA.
• 56:58
  From then on they had about like 5-6 years of multiple first
• 57:04
  round draft picks. And like they got guys like
• 57:06
  Chet, they got Jalen Williams, Aaron Wiggins, I think they got
• 57:11
  Case and Wallace out of one of those draft picks.
• 57:14
  They use some of those picks to make moves and get guys like
• 57:18
  Caruso in here. They've been that slightly.
• 57:23
  They got went out and spent the money on Isaiah Hartenstein and
• 57:27
  just I mean, they they constructed one of the greatest
• 57:31
  defenses I think we've seen in NBA history.
• 57:33
  I mean, you can't like you can't watch this team the the amount
• 57:37
  of pressure that they put on the ball, the way they forced
• 57:40
  turnovers. And like, because you look like
• 57:43
  you look at the Thunder like their offense is mostly
• 57:46
  shameless to the top, like he shoulders so much of the load of
• 57:50
  that offense, but they help them tremendously because of their
• 57:55
  activity on defense. And it's not like he doesn't get
• 57:57
  involved like he was one of the top guys that steals this, like
• 58:00
  him and Jalen Williams. J Dumb the one that starts.
• 58:04
  You got you got the Dortcher Chamber.
• 58:07
  The Dortcher Chamber, yeah. Chet is an insane shot blocker.
• 58:11
  Hartenstein is honestly like you could you could give good comp
• 58:16
  that Hartenstein is called. Hartenstein's monster the way he
• 58:20
  be. Yeah, he's like 1 of.
• 58:22
  People on the paint. He's one of their, he's one of
• 58:24
  the more. It's like traditional centers in
• 58:26
  the league, too, like traditional big men where he's
• 58:29
  going to be inside. He's dirty work, defensive
• 58:32
  rebounding, and it's big for their, big for their team.
• 58:35
  Like that was a big, big signing in the offseason.
• 58:41
  I do want to talk just slightly about game six of the East
• 58:45
  finals. Tom Thibodeau getting fired
• 58:50
  after his team goes out pretty sad.
• 58:53
  And like he was close at halftime.
• 58:55
  It was really close at halftime and they just got, they lost it
• 59:00
  mostly in the 4th, the third quarter and by the, you know,
• 59:04
  they made it look closer at the end there in the 4th.
• 59:06
  A lot of those points coming in garbage time.
• 59:10
  This team, the Knicks, I, they got all the pieces on the
• 59:16
  starting five. Can they keep that and add some
• 59:20
  depth to the bench and you? I liked what you said, Michael
• 59:24
  Malone potentially. Yeah, I think as a coach.
• 59:27
  In that team, I don't like, we'll see what they pay because
• 59:29
  like, yeah, I think he's getting like hella bank from ESPN.
• 59:33
  Oh yeah, and that's honestly in this series.
• 59:36
  Well. That's going to suck watching
• 59:37
  our former coach just glaze one of our biggest rivals while he
• 59:41
  covers the the the NBA Finals because he's going to be there
• 59:47
  on that half time crew. And I mean, he's going to have a
• 59:50
  lot of good things to say about Shay.
• 59:52
  Oh yeah, He's going to have a lot of things to say, good
• 59:55
  things to say about the Thunder. It's going to, it's going to
• 59:58
  suck to watch that, but I mean. That's kind of what it's kind of
• 1:00:01
  what was expected to happen, honestly.
• 1:00:03
  But I mean, for the Knicks in this series, I genuinely feel
• 1:00:07
  like they did not play smart at all.
• 1:00:09
  And like a lot of this blame should not be shouldered on Tom
• 1:00:13
  Thibodeau. I feel like this is kind of a
• 1:00:15
  kind of a stupid firing. He's been there.
• 1:00:18
  He was there five years. They made the playoffs 4 out of
• 1:00:21
  the five seasons. And I'm pretty sure that's
• 1:00:23
  back-to-back conference finals appearances or no.
• 1:00:26
  No, this was their first conference of first conference
• 1:00:30
  finals appearance in the five years.
• 1:00:33
  But like every year they just got better and better and they
• 1:00:36
  filled out their starting line up.
• 1:00:39
  But I mean, this offseason and them needing to get depth,
• 1:00:44
  having a new coach that is not Tom Thibodeau is probably prime
• 1:00:50
  position to keep. Like to try your best to keep
• 1:00:53
  all your guys that start and build depths 'cause I mean like
• 1:00:56
  if they hire Malone, there's no way Michael Malone is not going
• 1:01:00
  to want to add a second unit to this team 'cause he's really
• 1:01:04
  traditional guy like Tom Thibodeau having his starters
• 1:01:08
  out for 30-40 minutes a game and like his bench guys hardly
• 1:01:12
  playing. I know he hates, I know he had
• 1:01:13
  to play Jokic. So many.
• 1:01:15
  Yeah, Like, that's not like that's not something that
• 1:01:18
  Michael Malone, or at least most coaches want to do in general.
• 1:01:22
  Like they want to have a pretty mixed rotation where like their
• 1:01:25
  star can come out and be as well rested as possible for the
• 1:01:29
  entire time that they're best players on the court.
• 1:01:31
  Like I think. It makes it so much easier on
• 1:01:34
  your guys. One guy they should move on from
• 1:01:37
  and see what they can get with some trade value from him is
• 1:01:39
  Mitchell Robinson. I think you could probably
• 1:01:42
  fleece a worst team and get some some better younger, like some
• 1:01:49
  young rotational guys of the started to prove themselves like
• 1:01:52
  dude, the the Wizards would put or like the the Hornets or maybe
• 1:02:00
  even the Blazers, the Kings, like they they'd send you
• 1:02:03
  something decent for Mitchell Robinson, a team that might be
• 1:02:09
  trying to tank still, you know, like those teams are probably
• 1:02:11
  still trying to tank the heat Dude, the heater kind of in hell
• 1:02:15
  right now. Like, I mean, they're not in a
• 1:02:16
  great spot. Yeah, they can kind of use.
• 1:02:18
  It like like give like get Robinson and like some pics or
• 1:02:26
  something, you know, and give up some of your your younger guys
• 1:02:31
  and maybe like an older star like throw like Rich Mitchell
• 1:02:36
  Robinson, throw like trade for hit, like trade Mitchell
• 1:02:40
  Robinson and like a couple of picks for like Bam out of bio
• 1:02:45
  and like Duncan Robinson, like one of their like just like some
• 1:02:50
  of their spot up shooters that the heat got.
• 1:02:53
  I don't know if it like I don't know if the heat would give up
• 1:02:56
  Bam for that, but like, I mean that would just be something.
• 1:02:59
  I think he would just fit well into that rotation.
• 1:03:00
  That's just a random idea I'm floating around there.
• 1:03:06
  I think you, I think you could do it like a solid replacement
• 1:03:09
  player that really isn't going to like when you a ton of games
• 1:03:12
  when you're a team that wants to get a high draft pick, but will
• 1:03:15
  still like fit that role fairly well for you.
• 1:03:18
  Oh yeah. Yeah, they could.
• 1:03:20
  They could get something like. That especially because he got
• 1:03:22
  cut out somewhere. So it's like get Bam out there.
• 1:03:24
  Like where would start? Robinson would come off the
• 1:03:27
  bench for you anyways, you know, Boom and some capital and can
• 1:03:32
  they, can the Knicks find the team like that?
• 1:03:34
  That's something I would look for them to do there because I
• 1:03:37
  like, I kind of liked what they were doing where they had Cat
• 1:03:40
  playing the four. Oh yeah, I agree.
• 1:03:43
  And I think it's more it'd be more realistic for them to try
• 1:03:46
  and go after a player like Bam than to try and go than to try
• 1:03:50
  and have something like Giannis happened.
• 1:03:53
  I. Don't, I don't think.
• 1:03:54
  Because anyway they. Could get you.
• 1:03:55
  Honest, man, there's a lot of trade rumors going around about
• 1:03:59
  that, but a lot of the trades are going to include like they
• 1:04:02
  need a third team to make it happen.
• 1:04:05
  And at that point, is it really even worth it if you're going to
• 1:04:09
  have to have three teams just to get Giannis, just to make it so
• 1:04:13
  that it's on the book, right, for every team?
• 1:04:15
  Like that's just too much, yeah. No, I don't.
• 1:04:20
  Giannis is out of the question. I don't know what like the heat.
• 1:04:25
  The problem is is I don't know if they'll give up Bam because
• 1:04:28
  they're like 2. We want to they they might like
• 1:04:32
  get into like the bowl situation where they're just perpetually a
• 1:04:36
  play in team without the like Jimmy really like we ought to
• 1:04:40
  like give Jimmy Ball that credit.
• 1:04:41
  I think he might see, he saw what the future of that Heat
• 1:04:45
  team was and he's like, I'm not going to try to drag a play in
• 1:04:49
  team to the finals every like. I'm not going to be your Zach
• 1:04:53
  Lavine. Yeah, but like, and he's like
• 1:04:55
  Jimmy's been like because he was the number one player on that
• 1:04:58
  team getting him to like Eastern Conference finals.
• 1:05:01
  He took a play in. Dude he took a the 2 finals.
• 1:05:04
  Like that's like honestly not a very good team of Jimmy.
• 1:05:09
  Like with Jimmy Butler leading the way.
• 1:05:11
  Like I I love James like I think he would.
• 1:05:14
  He just isn't like at this point where he's a better compliment
• 1:05:17
  as a #2 to a number one man. Like their role, guys, their
• 1:05:22
  role guys really had to step up in those playoff runs.
• 1:05:24
  Like we saw some crazy performances from Tyler Hero.
• 1:05:28
  Duncan Robinson put himself on the mat in those.
• 1:05:30
  Playoffs, honestly, just oh, their coaches pissed down their
• 1:05:33
  legs while Eric Spoelstra coached circles around them.
• 1:05:36
  Basically, yeah, was how they did that.
• 1:05:38
  And like, you know, he's like, I think he just saw how it was
• 1:05:43
  changing. It's like, yeah, like there's
• 1:05:44
  some, there are some pretty good and good coaches now that we're
• 1:05:48
  going to have to go up against. And like, we're just not going
• 1:05:51
  to be able to like, we're we're going to need to change.
• 1:05:56
  There has to be a change here. So credit to him.
• 1:06:00
  He he was right there. But I was talking about other
• 1:06:03
  teams. Let's give this Pacers team
• 1:06:04
  their flowers. They're amazing, dude.
• 1:06:07
  They built it up from the ground up, and it all started with one
• 1:06:11
  guy, Miles Turner. Miles Turner has been on this
• 1:06:15
  team since Paul George. That's great.
• 1:06:17
  He's been so loyal to this squad.
• 1:06:22
  Throughout years and years of trade rumors.
• 1:06:25
  So the. Is Miles Turner going to finally
• 1:06:27
  be gone? Like is Miles Turner being their
• 1:06:30
  like biggest trade piece? Like the one guy that they're
• 1:06:34
  always like, yeah, we're like, we'd be willing to ship him off.
• 1:06:37
  Like he's the guy that like, like nobody on this team
• 1:06:42
  deserves a ring more than him. Then you got Hallie there as
• 1:06:45
  well. They're going to be they're
• 1:06:47
  going to be in for a real battle because, you know, good defense
• 1:06:51
  can really slow down good offense.
• 1:06:55
  And the Pacers, they like to play fast.
• 1:06:58
  Oklahoma City's got the speed to match them pretty fast on
• 1:07:02
  defense and I like but the way they they run their offense.
• 1:07:06
  So that slow type of ISO game with Shay and then they try to
• 1:07:13
  they try to play off of that and like, will he score?
• 1:07:16
  Will they will they move it to somebody else?
• 1:07:19
  It just a really it's going to slow the game down.
• 1:07:21
  So we're going to need to see a lot of activity from them on
• 1:07:24
  defense and I'm looking like guys like Nemhard, Nee Smith,
• 1:07:29
  even like TJ McConnell, Obi Topping, mathering off the
• 1:07:33
  bench. Those guys, they need to be very
• 1:07:35
  disruptive and like off ball pass.
• 1:07:39
  And I won't like some of the things that we're going to see
• 1:07:42
  from like they have to be on another level when it comes to
• 1:07:45
  anticipating and picking off passes.
• 1:07:49
  Because you got to be ready. For and generating the.
• 1:07:50
  Halliburton. Halliburton is going to be
• 1:07:52
  diamond up if you're not anticipating in in those passing
• 1:07:56
  lanes. And then Turner and Siakam going
• 1:08:00
  to have their hands full inside with I think Turner's got to cut
• 1:08:04
  guard Chet because Chet's the better score over Hartenstein.
• 1:08:09
  But Hartenstein, like it's going to it's going to be flip flop.
• 1:08:11
  Like I think Hartenstein's going to be guarding is is going to be
• 1:08:16
  guarding. No, 'cause I don't think you're
• 1:08:19
  going to want Turner on Chet just cause Turner my big body in
• 1:08:24
  that would that would be interesting.
• 1:08:26
  Yeah. So I think Turner's going to be
• 1:08:30
  guarding Chet though, just cause Chet's got a better ability to
• 1:08:32
  score and Turner's the better defender.
• 1:08:35
  This can be big, big series for Siakam, honestly.
• 1:08:38
  Yeah, 'cause like you're saying, those matchups like more you
• 1:08:41
  kind of break it down. I mean, it's favorable for
• 1:08:43
  Siakam to, like, fill it up on these dudes.
• 1:08:46
  I can't even lie, 'cause if you're, if we're really being
• 1:08:49
  honest, the second scoring option on this team outside of
• 1:08:52
  Halliburton is Siakam. Yeah.
• 1:08:54
  And I mean, you could argue that he's the first scoring option
• 1:08:58
  because Halliburton is their playmaker.
• 1:09:00
  Also like he can't do what he did in this series.
• 1:09:03
  That's like that's not like good.
• 1:09:06
  It's not going to work out well for them is if he has like a
• 1:09:09
  good game and a bad game, good game, bad game like he's.
• 1:09:12
  He's got to be on it. At the whole, I think he's going
• 1:09:14
  to need to be consistently having good games, like scoring
• 1:09:18
  at least 24. Like can he average the 2324?
• 1:09:24
  We're going to need a couple like 30 point games out of him,
• 1:09:28
  that type of stuff. Something that's interesting to
• 1:09:31
  watch for here too. Tyrese Halliburton how he plays
• 1:09:37
  versus like when he makes versus when he misses his first shot.
• 1:09:42
  Interesting numbers I saw Nick Wright bring up on his show on
• 1:09:45
  the ESPN. Like when he makes his first
• 1:09:48
  shot like versus like when he misses, he takes like 3 less
• 1:09:52
  shot attempts a game. His shooting percentage goes
• 1:09:56
  down, his points per game goes down, his three-point percentage
• 1:09:59
  plummets. He look like he really looks the
• 1:10:03
  play make and distribute more than and then try to score.
• 1:10:07
  So I don't know, like can he get that confidence whether he makes
• 1:10:13
  or misses his first shot like that doesn't matter.
• 1:10:16
  Like I have to be aggressive and I have to try to score 'cause
• 1:10:20
  he'll like he'll still find people.
• 1:10:22
  Like that's the thing I think he just has he can't get timid
• 1:10:27
  trying to score and and look the past too much.
• 1:10:30
  I need I want him to be a little selfish and be aggressive
• 1:10:34
  because ultimately that's just going to free up his teammates
• 1:10:38
  more as if he's looking to be more aggressive because you can
• 1:10:41
  kind of see those games where he gets timid and he's looking to
• 1:10:43
  pass it out more. I mean, like the the defense is
• 1:10:46
  just quicker to get back to these other guys and make it
• 1:10:48
  tougher on that. You know, like he's just, he's
• 1:10:51
  just got to be aggressive. Well, like, and I don't like
• 1:10:56
  that's that's what worries me is like, where is his confidence
• 1:10:59
  going to be? He's got definitely a better
• 1:11:02
  defender on him here, at least Shay, compared to Bronson.
• 1:11:06
  You got 2 completely different size guys, right?
• 1:11:09
  So it's going to be way different.
• 1:11:11
  And it's not really going to matter if they switch or like
• 1:11:14
  the Thunder Gothic guy that's going to be able to guard them
• 1:11:16
  pretty well. Like whether it be Caruso,
• 1:11:18
  whether it be Jaylen Williams, Shay, it doesn't matter.
• 1:11:23
  Like there's they're going to have a good defender on him.
• 1:11:26
  Leave him. Lou Dort, my then, is probably I
• 1:11:28
  think Dort's going to end up. Probably be more, yeah.
• 1:11:31
  Most of the time, but I I just like I think they're not going
• 1:11:35
  to have a problem switching a lot of what they do right like
• 1:11:41
  like I just the Thunder they're starting fine.
• 1:11:43
  I think we're confident that no matter who they're on should be
• 1:11:48
  will be good to to guard that guy be interesting.
• 1:11:51
  They're going to have to find out.
• 1:11:53
  I think Indiana, they're going to have to find out who they can
• 1:11:57
  like it. And it's going to be tough, but
• 1:11:58
  somebody on that funders team is going to be a bit of a a
• 1:12:03
  liability that they're that they're going to just have to
• 1:12:06
  really put some pressure on, you know?
• 1:12:11
  Yeah, they really find it. Yeah.
• 1:12:14
  So that that they can they can open some things up.
• 1:12:18
  Yeah. Then on the other end, it'll be
• 1:12:21
  interesting to see who guards Halliburton.
• 1:12:24
  I don't know, like who's your guess, who your guess is?
• 1:12:26
  My guess is probably Nesmith. He's he's their best defender.
• 1:12:31
  That's just the real like he's I don't know if it it'll really
• 1:12:34
  matter all that much. He's such a good isolation
• 1:12:37
  score. I think we're what you're going
• 1:12:39
  to have to do is make Shay score like 50 if they're going to want
• 1:12:46
  to win, you know, like he's going to.
• 1:12:48
  Have to, yeah, he's going to have to fill it up and it's
• 1:12:51
  going to be like no assist game, like everybody else has to be
• 1:12:54
  locked down. Like like Brad, like I think
• 1:12:57
  like you'll take like if you're making Shay score like 52, but
• 1:13:01
  like everyone else has like the next highest guy has like 13
• 1:13:05
  like. That's honestly.
• 1:13:07
  They're going to have to try to look to make it like that where
• 1:13:11
  which is tough because like like Jalen Williams, he get it going,
• 1:13:17
  check he get it going. There's I don't know it.
• 1:13:22
  It's a real uphill climb for the Pacers.
• 1:13:25
  You we could still see. I mean, upsets do still happen.
• 1:13:30
  There's just the the Pacers are going to need to play really
• 1:13:33
  perfectly, I think a lot of games and Mark Dagnell is a
• 1:13:38
  fantastic coach. Not, you know, not that what's
• 1:13:42
  his I just forgot it. Rick something the Pacers coach,
• 1:13:47
  Rick Carlisle. Rick Carlisle.
• 1:13:48
  Thank you. Almost said Rick Smithson.
• 1:13:50
  I'm like, no, that's that's a former Pacer.
• 1:13:53
  We ain't that's not who we talking about.
• 1:13:55
  Rick Carlisle. Thank you.
• 1:13:57
  Also really great coach. So that it's going to be
• 1:14:00
  interesting that chess match between them.
• 1:14:05
  But one the the one problem I see that the Pacers will be
• 1:14:08
  running into is that they'll be playing OK C you know, they'll
• 1:14:13
  have more, they've got more rooks and Knights Pacers.
• 1:14:17
  They got a few more pawns almost, you know.
• 1:14:20
  Oh yeah. Which will make it a tough chess
• 1:14:22
  match, but we'll see. Maybe Rick Carlisle can beat
• 1:14:26
  Mark Diagnall into playing somebody, somebody really bad
• 1:14:30
  just by saying, oh, that guy's really.
• 1:14:32
  Good. That guy's really good, yeah.
• 1:14:34
  We'll see. I don't know, Tips didn't really
• 1:14:36
  fall for him. Maybe.
• 1:14:37
  Maybe Dagnall will. Yeah, he did not.
• 1:14:39
  He did not put in, he did not put in Cameron Payne at all.
• 1:14:43
  That's too bad, man. Cameron Payne, what a legend.
• 1:14:46
  All right, well, let's let's give our our predictions game by
• 1:14:50
  game here. Game one.
• 1:14:53
  OK, see, I think they take that. I think the Pacers, this is a
• 1:14:58
  game where OK C holds the lead for a lot of it.
• 1:15:01
  Pacers, they just can't ever quite close it and they're going
• 1:15:05
  to lose this one 117 to one O 512 point loss there.
• 1:15:11
  That's game one. Game 1, Thunder go up 10.
• 1:15:15
  Game two, it's going to be a lot closer.
• 1:15:19
  This one's going to be a little bit more defensive and I think
• 1:15:24
  the fund that they're going to eke it out here, though, they're
• 1:15:26
  going to go they're going to win one O 6, one O 3 here, but the
• 1:15:31
  Pacers really figure some things out game three they.
• 1:15:36
  Back to Indiana. And they go back to Indiana and
• 1:15:41
  they're going to win it. And I think this is going to be
• 1:15:45
  a game where they this will be one of their best games in the
• 1:15:47
  series. They're playing really well in
• 1:15:49
  front of their home corral be a big win for them.
• 1:15:52
  They're going to win this game like 123 the one O 7.
• 1:15:57
  Then we go game four and this is where they actually tie the
• 1:16:03
  series up. I think they'll tie it up here
• 1:16:06
  and they're going to win this one another.
• 1:16:09
  It's going to be a lot closer though, like they're going to
• 1:16:11
  win like 112 to one O 8 game five.
• 1:16:16
  We go back to OK C and the Thunder get back on their
• 1:16:20
  homecourt and they get they really get in the zone and this
• 1:16:24
  is going to be our biggest blowout of the series.
• 1:16:26
  The Thunder are going to take this one 130 to one O 4.
• 1:16:31
  OK, OK. And then game six, OK, C,
• 1:16:37
  they're not going to win. They're going to win it here.
• 1:16:40
  They're not going to win in front of their home crowd, but
• 1:16:41
  they're going to get it done in six on Indiana's home floor,
• 1:16:45
  unfortunately, and they're going to win this one.
• 1:16:51
  It's going to be super close down to the wild.
• 1:16:53
  They're going to win this like basically on like a last second
• 1:16:56
  two from Shay, one O 8 to 98 or one O 100 to 98 rather.
• 1:17:03
  I I like those predictions there.
• 1:17:04
  I like those numbers. I think also Thunder.
• 1:17:07
  And. 6 probably be Thunder and six here because I mean, we saw
• 1:17:12
  in the Eastern Conference finals like the Knicks just needed like
• 1:17:15
  four or five more deuce Mcbrides that play every position.
• 1:17:19
  You know, they need like they need a a backup center that's
• 1:17:22
  like Deuce McBride. They they pretty much need a
• 1:17:25
  bunch of Mcbrides on that roster.
• 1:17:28
  It's like they found out the Pacers have a pretty deep team,
• 1:17:32
  but like the Thunder, like you're saying, the Thunder's
• 1:17:36
  bench guys and depth guys are just.
• 1:17:41
  I just think that their ability to slow the game down and to
• 1:17:45
  play that suffocating defense is gonna be the difference.
• 1:17:48
  I mean this is I mean this this will go down as one of the best
• 1:17:53
  defenses in NBA history. It's been too perfect of a 68
• 1:17:58
  wins MVP for their star player scoring leader gonna win the
• 1:18:05
  finals and so. They needed that one more win
• 1:18:11
  and that Timberwolves series for that 2016 team where it all
• 1:18:15
  fell. Apart OK, see they know,
• 1:18:17
  especially with the new CBA rule that makes it harder for better
• 1:18:21
  the top teams to retain talent. I I think they really know that
• 1:18:25
  like you know this we got to like like this.
• 1:18:28
  It'll be tough for us to get back.
• 1:18:30
  Here. Oh yeah.
• 1:18:31
  We might want to win like win 1 now.
• 1:18:33
  And that's they just really seem hungry for it too.
• 1:18:37
  I don't like. They're never on.
• 1:18:40
  They're never phase. Where they're even when they're
• 1:18:42
  blowing people out, the way they get back on defense is just it's
• 1:18:50
  it's like they're sprinting back and they're up 25.
• 1:18:55
  They're up 30. It's like there's there's no
• 1:18:57
  reason like, I mean, you could easily just be, you know, taking
• 1:19:01
  the possession off, giving up easy scores.
• 1:19:03
  They're they're sprinting back this team this, no matter how
• 1:19:08
  much they're winning, but they're playing hard till the
• 1:19:10
  very end of that game. Yeah, they're playing like the
• 1:19:14
  games once, one possession game for the entire time.
• 1:19:17
  Yeah, they never gave up. It's a great team Pacers got,
• 1:19:22
  but I mean, Thunder, Thunder taken at six.
• 1:19:26
  I will still be. Rooting for the Pacers and
• 1:19:28
  hoping that they won't, but and that like as a as a hater of the
• 1:19:34
  Thunder, I'm going to believe while I watch these games that
• 1:19:38
  the Pacers have a chance to win every single one.
• 1:19:41
  But I got to come to you as a sports talk show host.
• 1:19:46
  And I got to give you. I got to give you an objective
• 1:19:49
  factual based breakdown of this series and Thunder paper.
• 1:19:56
  The Thunder should go come away with this.
• 1:19:58
  They're the better team here. There are, like the problem with
• 1:20:03
  the Pacers winning is that you got to kind of count on guys to
• 1:20:08
  really give give you their best all every game of the series.
• 1:20:12
  And we've seen times in this postseason where that hasn't
• 1:20:15
  happened. And they lose.
• 1:20:16
  Maybe they do it in this one. I mean, we've seen it before.
• 1:20:21
  I the most recent example I can think of the O 8 or not the O 8,
• 1:20:25
  the O 4 Pistons, a team that I mean everyone thought could was
• 1:20:30
  just going to get blown out of the Walley by that Lakers team
• 1:20:33
  with Kobe and Shaq. They were they.
• 1:20:36
  Were found the way man. They were defensive this
• 1:20:39
  hurricane. Chauncey, Bill, UPS and lead the
• 1:20:42
  charge. What a great team.
• 1:20:45
  So us here till the final whistle, I think, I think I I
• 1:20:49
  can safely speak for my Co host too.
• 1:20:51
  You know, we both hate the thumb.
• 1:20:52
  They were. We'll be rooting for the Pacers.
• 1:20:54
  I mean, like, I've only, I only really started to dislike the
• 1:20:58
  Thunder as a Nuggets fan when they started to get better.
• 1:21:02
  But like when they were kind of all those downtrodden years and
• 1:21:05
  like Billy Donovan was like, just trust the process people.
• 1:21:08
  We're getting all these picks. We got this SGA guy, a really
• 1:21:12
  young player from the Clippers that they picked high with kind
• 1:21:15
  of undervalued and got rid of. And now he's really just
• 1:21:18
  blossomed into the MVP of the league 'cause the Clippers got
• 1:21:22
  SGA. Like, could have had it, could
• 1:21:24
  have been SGA out there with Kawhi this year.
• 1:21:28
  That team would have freaking swept the Nuggets.
• 1:21:30
  That team would have swept the Nuggets bad.
• 1:21:34
  Yeah, I don't know if the Clippers would have the way
• 1:21:37
  they've run their front office. I don't know if they would have.
• 1:21:40
  Yeah, build up. Build up a young star.
• 1:21:42
  SGA Heck. No, like the Thunder.
• 1:21:44
  The Thunder knew what they're doing.
• 1:21:46
  They better off with them like I.
• 1:21:48
  I don't I don't remember who their their GM is.
• 1:21:51
  Is it still? Is it Billy Knight still
• 1:21:53
  Whoever? I think it's still, I think it's
• 1:21:55
  still Knight. He just won executive the
• 1:21:58
  crystal ball or something. The what he saw, what Shay was
• 1:22:01
  becoming, what he could be turned into and put a heck of a
• 1:22:05
  team around him. So special, special team that
• 1:22:10
  that the family got here. Whoever comes away with this, I
• 1:22:14
  think is a good thing for the NBI mean first of all, our
• 1:22:16
  seventh different champion in 7th year.
• 1:22:19
  I mean, Adam Silver did exactly what he wanted this league.
• 1:22:22
  He wants parody to be king. He does not.
• 1:22:26
  He wants he's he's suddenly the time of dynasties is over.
• 1:22:30
  Like we want we want fresh faces each year, you know, we want
• 1:22:34
  different teams coming up with and, you know, getting a chance
• 1:22:39
  to shine. And I think it's good.
• 1:22:42
  It's good for the sport, man. You know, that's perfect either
• 1:22:45
  way. Like I don't dynasties are are
• 1:22:49
  cool, but you know, they can be frustrating.
• 1:22:52
  It's also just it's nice to see see priority, see variety, you
• 1:22:56
  know, people it especially like those those stretches were like
• 1:23:03
  it was just the Lakers or it's just LeBron and or the warriors
• 1:23:08
  and the finals for basically the entire twenty 10s.
• 1:23:11
  Yeah, for like at least four years, Four or five years.
• 1:23:14
  That really turned me off of basketball for a while and I I
• 1:23:20
  kind of started to get back into it as I saw those teams
• 1:23:23
  dissolving. I was like, yeah, I was just
• 1:23:25
  like, you know. It was much better.
• 1:23:28
  I don't want you kind of get sick watching the same people.
• 1:23:31
  Yeah, it's like now you got a team.
• 1:23:33
  This guy, he becomes the eighth player to win MVP and make his
• 1:23:38
  first Finals. And then you got Indiana Pacers
• 1:23:41
  literally have. They've never made the NBA
• 1:23:45
  Finals. So this is a lot of time, but
• 1:23:46
  I'll say in the NFL, they I think they've they've got a good
• 1:23:49
  balance of how dynasties. Come and go.
• 1:23:53
  Have been set up where it's like even like, hey, like like the
• 1:23:56
  Pats like yeah, they've, they've gone to a bunch of Super Bowls,
• 1:24:00
  but there were also off years in like between.
• 1:24:03
  Like it wasn't just them every year.
• 1:24:06
  And then it wasn't just like another player from like, you
• 1:24:10
  know, that was also constantly going in there like, you know,
• 1:24:13
  yeah, the the Patriots made it a lot, but we had some like
• 1:24:17
  intriguing, not like Broncos, Seahawks.
• 1:24:19
  We got Broncos, Panthers, we got Ravens.
• 1:24:24
  Ravens. Niners.
• 1:24:25
  Ravens, Niners, Packers, Steelers, in between there those
• 1:24:32
  Brady years, Steelers, Cardinals, like just to to to
• 1:24:36
  name a different few Chiefs. You know, when Brady was
• 1:24:39
  suddenly you got the Chiefs and the 49ers.
• 1:24:42
  Then the then Brady goes to the box and it's like the box and
• 1:24:45
  the Chiefs. And then you get the that Burrow
• 1:24:48
  and that Burrow, Stafford Ramsbles Super Bowl, super cool.
• 1:24:53
  So that's where I think like the NBA was just like, Oh yeah, I
• 1:24:58
  was like the same like few group of guys started to go into it
• 1:25:02
  every year they had to make a change.
• 1:25:03
  Whereas Lacey on the fell you can it gets the monotony of a
• 1:25:07
  dynasty got broken up a little bit.
• 1:25:10
  That's my two cents on we got a little off topic there fun there
• 1:25:13
  in six. We've been going for a while.
• 1:25:16
  We'll head to another quick break.
• 1:25:17
  When we come back, we were talking about the NFL season.
• 1:25:20
  It's the NFLNFL season's coming up.
• 1:25:23
  Schedule releases are out. Me and Caveman look at the
• 1:25:26
  breakdown on some of the best prime time games that we're
• 1:25:28
  going to see this year, as well as throw it back to some of our
• 1:25:32
  favorite prime time games we've seen in the past.
• 1:25:34
  So yeah. Don't go anywhere.
• 1:25:36
  Hype it up. We got more till the final
• 1:25:39
  whistle here on military broadcast radio to kind of stay
• 1:25:41
  with us. The station where our veterans
• 1:29:57
  voices are heard. MBR.
• 1:29:59
  Talk. Hey thanks for tuning.
• 1:30:04
  In welcome are those of the speakers and do not necessarily
• 1:30:08
  reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.
• 1:30:13
  The web at MB radio dot. You are looking live until the
• 1:30:18
  final whistle. HG Caveman back in the house on
• 1:30:21
  MB Radio, the station letting our veterans voices be heard.
• 1:30:25
  I got a address. Sorry, Kyle, we're sorry.
• 1:30:27
  Our man Kyle here. I know we've been away from the
• 1:30:30
  team building challenge for a while.
• 1:30:32
  It's coming back, Kyle. Don't worry, it'll be down.
• 1:30:34
  There's just been a lot of action to cover and breakdown
• 1:30:38
  then and we just want to we feel like we wouldn't be doing our
• 1:30:41
  due diligence if we didn't, you know, take the time we've been
• 1:30:44
  taken to to break it down everything once you know, UF LS
• 1:30:49
  almost over NBA and the NHL will be done soon here and you know,
• 1:30:55
  baseball playoffs. It's a long season and there
• 1:30:59
  isn't going to be, you know, a ton week to week that.
• 1:31:01
  You're the Rockies won their first.
• 1:31:03
  Series we're going to. Be we're going to be covering
• 1:31:05
  much freaking baseball over here, man.
• 1:31:07
  The Rockies won as many games since their season started as
• 1:31:11
  the Nuggets did in that short time from like May 3rd I think
• 1:31:16
  is when the season started for MLB like early May Up until now
• 1:31:20
  the Rockies and the Nuggets have won these same amount of games.
• 1:31:24
  Scotty Scheffler had until they won their 10th game.
• 1:31:28
  Scotty Scheffler had as many wins as the Rockies did since
• 1:31:31
  May 4th and then since the end of the MLB season regular season
• 1:31:35
  last year, the Broncos and the Rockies had the same amount of
• 1:31:38
  wins until they got their 10th. Because it's.
• 1:31:41
  Garbage. Then they actually won their
• 1:31:42
  first series. Garbage ultimately beaten the
• 1:31:45
  the Marlins, so it only took him till June 3rd to do that.
• 1:31:50
  And I'm gonna, I'm gonna let the sound board tell us about how
• 1:31:53
  good the Marlins are at baseball.
• 1:31:56
  Because it's garbage. Literally the only series that
• 1:32:00
  we can win is against arguably one of the other most pathetic
• 1:32:05
  franchises. In the league that Rockies
• 1:32:07
  Marlins series had 10s of people showing up to watch it.
• 1:32:12
  That's freaking crazy dude. Because they're my gosh there.
• 1:32:16
  That's a freaking 2 joke. Teams playing each other right
• 1:32:18
  there. It's one empty stadium in Miami.
• 1:32:23
  That's tragic. That's tragic.
• 1:32:26
  Yeah, nobody even wanted to be there.
• 1:32:29
  I'll be right back, folks. Either refresh the page.
• 1:32:31
  He's refreshing. He'll be back here.
• 1:32:34
  Kyle, don't worry, man. The touchdown challenge will be
• 1:32:36
  coming back. We're going to have yardage
• 1:32:37
  challenges, career points challenges, all that good stuff
• 1:32:41
  coming up for you here. But hey, man, we got NFL
• 1:32:44
  schedule out and we got some prime time games that we've been
• 1:32:48
  on, right? Yes we do.
• 1:32:50
  Yes we do. There's a pretty good set of
• 1:32:52
  them, Good slate of them. Honestly, the the Broncos make
• 1:32:55
  my list twice. We're doing the top 10.
• 1:32:59
  A number of times. I think the Broncos got maybe
• 1:33:01
  Call me. Call me biased.
• 1:33:03
  I don't even think it's biased man, I I need to see that
• 1:33:06
  freaking rematch against the Bengals.
• 1:33:08
  Oh, that's going to be. Cinnamon, I need to see that.
• 1:33:10
  Here in Dundra now too, that was easily one of the best games of
• 1:33:13
  the last season there too. That overtime I.
• 1:33:16
  Think where both Knicks really showed out too man like that was
• 1:33:19
  his best game as a pro. Sucks at ended in a loss with
• 1:33:22
  dude like that. Couple of beautiful deep balls.
• 1:33:25
  I mean, he just was like the game really looked like a
• 1:33:29
  confident and composed quarterback there and like a guy
• 1:33:34
  that you could trust to lead your team down the field when
• 1:33:37
  you need them. Ultimately wasn't able to get it
• 1:33:41
  done. But as a rookie in hostile
• 1:33:44
  territory against another elite QB and Joe Burrow be the will be
• 1:33:50
  a little different here at home. We'll see.
• 1:33:52
  You know, that Bengals defense ain't getting any better.
• 1:33:54
  Trey Hendrickson still ain't signing Shamar Stewart.
• 1:33:58
  He's holding out on his contract so.
• 1:34:01
  That's just tragic. Dude it's not like a it's a
• 1:34:04
  money thing or anything like he want he would sign it if they
• 1:34:08
  would just remove a clause that would make it easier for them to
• 1:34:12
  cut him after like 2 years or right before his contract's up.
• 1:34:16
  Which I mean like I'll be he, he wants to be loyal to the team
• 1:34:20
  and not just get drop. Off you're the 17th overall pick
• 1:34:23
  like I think you've like you got like at least a shot to not have
• 1:34:28
  that language in your contract, especially because like the
• 1:34:30
  eighth there Emerius Mims, who they drafted last year at the
• 1:34:33
  18th pick. That language isn't in the
• 1:34:35
  contract. It's like his his agent's like,
• 1:34:39
  well, let's not like sign this because like if you, if they
• 1:34:42
  don't like how you play, they could just.
• 1:34:43
  They can just drop it out and get rid of you.
• 1:34:46
  Cut you and kind of hang you out to dry before you re sign you
• 1:34:50
  know? Yeah, that's.
• 1:34:52
  Before your contract is up. That's terrible.
• 1:34:55
  But I mean, that kind of sets up for kind of a crazy quarterback
• 1:34:58
  battle potentially cause Joe, Joe Burrow, Joe Scheiste is
• 1:35:02
  going to get his Broncos defense is pretty nasty.
• 1:35:06
  But you know, Burrow proved that, that he's going to get his
• 1:35:10
  at week in, week out, he's going to get his.
• 1:35:12
  Numbers like it. And then it's going to be a lot
• 1:35:16
  like, you know, Riley Moss will hopefully be healthy.
• 1:35:20
  We got Jade Baron, Jaquan McMillan, Levi Wallace won't be
• 1:35:24
  touching the field. Like it ain't going to be as
• 1:35:26
  easy to just throw at whoever's covering T Higgins or or you
• 1:35:30
  know, move Jamar Chase somewhere and make pass or tan that
• 1:35:35
  actually Higgins like it. Leads a question I had that it's
• 1:35:39
  a little off topic, but I, I know, I know injuries can be a
• 1:35:42
  problem in the year in the years, But honestly, the Broncos
• 1:35:46
  cornerback room is kind of as a good amount of depth now because
• 1:35:49
  don't forget about Chris Abrams drain.
• 1:35:52
  She's going to be on the bench. Good moments there too bro.
• 1:35:55
  But I know injuries exist, but like potential trade value pick,
• 1:36:01
  right, potential trade value guy could be like, you know, in the
• 1:36:05
  end of the day, like he's a great player and he could be
• 1:36:08
  somewhere to get some playing time like injuries happen.
• 1:36:11
  But hey, like it could be a trade where he goes somewhere to
• 1:36:14
  get some serious minutes and get the Broncos back something
• 1:36:18
  pretty good in return. So I I don't know, it raises the
• 1:36:21
  question there on do if they want to keep their depth at the
• 1:36:24
  corner position or not. I would say thinking about that.
• 1:36:28
  I think they're probably going to stick with it for this season
• 1:36:31
  just because we got, I mean, like we, we kind of got the the
• 1:36:36
  team. I mean, maybe I I like if I'm
• 1:36:40
  would be picky, I'd be like, maybe I want a little more
• 1:36:43
  firepower and offensive weapons. But honestly, I mean we kept the
• 1:36:48
  O line together, re signed DJ Jones, Zach Allen still there.
• 1:36:51
  We got, you know, Nick Benito, Jonathan Cooper and then I like
• 1:36:57
  those two SEC defensive line in that draft.
• 1:36:59
  I think like those guys coming in as rotational pieces, like
• 1:37:03
  we're not going to have to rely on them a ton, but I think.
• 1:37:05
  Just LSU dudes. Nasty.
• 1:37:08
  I like dude, I think Hugh Robinson probably would have
• 1:37:10
  gone like first second round if he didn't get like banged up in
• 1:37:13
  his last year dude. That dude's a freak.
• 1:37:15
  Like I had like Alabama fans were like, wow, he like Broncos
• 1:37:19
  got the steal of the draft of this dude.
• 1:37:20
  They're like, Robinson was a dog for us.
• 1:37:23
  So right, like, I mean, you know, Marvin Mims, he's he's
• 1:37:29
  kind of got that ability to be that deep threat guy to take the
• 1:37:32
  top off of a defence. Courtland Sutton best contested
• 1:37:36
  catch receiver in the NFL and he's a pretty nasty route
• 1:37:39
  runner. I think like you'll see him
• 1:37:41
  shake some guys like nasty. He doesn't have like crazy
• 1:37:44
  speed, but like he's a great route runner.
• 1:37:46
  Big Bobby. I mean, like you put that like
• 1:37:49
  and both Nicks like accuracy has gotten good.
• 1:37:52
  You put that ball in the right place.
• 1:37:53
  This guy has a good potential too in the receiver room.
• 1:37:57
  Like honestly, Pat Bryant, it doesn't even it doesn't sound
• 1:38:00
  bad to say he could potentially be the wide receiver too.
• 1:38:04
  I can't even lie. I can't even lie.
• 1:38:06
  His route running is honestly is really solid.
• 1:38:10
  Like he he doesn't really need like that quick of a burst of
• 1:38:13
  speed. To create.
• 1:38:14
  Separation. Either Theo, Ash.
• 1:38:16
  He's good. He he wanted to highlight some
• 1:38:18
  of Pat Bryant's tape at Illinois.
• 1:38:21
  And I'm like, OK, I can kind, I can kind of see the vision
• 1:38:24
  there. Maybe there were some guys that
• 1:38:27
  I would have preferred more, but like, I'm still like, I'm seeing
• 1:38:29
  the vision more from Sean Payton and yeah, like I'm Audrey, RJ
• 1:38:34
  Harvey. I I'm excited for.
• 1:38:36
  I think like, I think like we're we're we're going to be most
• 1:38:40
  successful is like, we're going to have like this 2 the like 3
• 1:38:44
  heavy backfield monster in the backfield of like Julia
• 1:38:48
  McLaughlin really proved himself.
• 1:38:50
  I think so I think he'll get plenty of touches.
• 1:38:53
  Rodrick Estimate, RJ Harvey, three young backs, none of these
• 1:38:58
  guys are super big. Estimate is going to probably
• 1:39:00
  give you the most power. And then Harvey, Jaleel, their
• 1:39:04
  pass catching their, their speed, their their shiftiness in
• 1:39:07
  space. We'll have a lot for.
• 1:39:09
  Us, I'm expecting freaking like Sean Payton to start throwing in
• 1:39:13
  the hat because the next game we're I actually wanted to talk
• 1:39:17
  about because I think we got a pretty cool home opener this
• 1:39:20
  year. Maybe 2011 had a pretty crazy
• 1:39:23
  home opener as well. And the Packers hosted the
• 1:39:26
  Saints back-to-back. The NFC had the Super Bowl
• 1:39:31
  champions and in 2009, 2010 it was the Saints and we had the
• 1:39:36
  next year be the Packers. They opened up a Monday Night
• 1:39:41
  Football against each other and the final score being 4234
• 1:39:45
  Packers. Packers took the dub, but this
• 1:39:48
  was honestly one of the most action-packed and like
• 1:39:50
  star-studded opening nights we could have seen.
• 1:39:54
  Like, Oh my God, Day, Rod. Everything there was a a special
• 1:39:57
  teams touchdown was it? There was two, there was 2.
• 1:40:00
  Both teams ran the kick back. Because Darren Sproles got his
• 1:40:04
  hands on a punt, took it back 76 yards.
• 1:40:07
  He housed the punt and that was it.
• 1:40:08
  Was it Randall? Cobb rookie Randall Cobb.
• 1:40:11
  Dude took a kickback 108 yards. He popped off in the third
• 1:40:15
  quarter. Breeze and Rodgers were both, I
• 1:40:19
  mean, they basically played perfect, both of them.
• 1:40:23
  Like that was just a treat, really it.
• 1:40:24
  Was a crazy quarterback. You get both QBs playing just
• 1:40:27
  absolutely perfect. Lance Moore, man, he was on the
• 1:40:32
  team at that point too, right? This was actually a little bit
• 1:40:36
  after that. So we we had our leading
• 1:40:39
  receiver in this game, funny enough, was actually Devery
• 1:40:42
  Henderson. So we had we had Henderson,
• 1:40:46
  Colston and Robert Meacham at this time and then we had a
• 1:40:51
  young, young Jimmy Graham on the squad.
• 1:40:54
  That's young. I remember that on this team,
• 1:40:56
  kind of like this is sort of a coming out game for Jimmy Graham
• 1:40:59
  and for for Randall Cobb. We had, we had young Mark Ingram
• 1:41:03
  too. He was just, he was a younger
• 1:41:05
  dude. We had Pierre Thomas and we had
• 1:41:08
  and we had Darren Sproles. All in that one line, all in
• 1:41:12
  that one. Oh my.
• 1:41:13
  God Pierre Thomas, that like unlocks a memory for me.
• 1:41:18
  I've forgotten about him. Dude, shout out Peter Thomas.
• 1:41:23
  Yeah, and the other side too, they had it's freaking a rod.
• 1:41:27
  Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, Randall Cobb was a rookie.
• 1:41:31
  They had freaking picked up Michael Finley from the Saints.
• 1:41:34
  Was in that. Offseason after we won the Super
• 1:41:37
  Bowl. Was Donald drivers still on this
• 1:41:38
  team? Not.
• 1:41:40
  Not on this one. Not on this squad, no.
• 1:41:42
  But dude, I mean, Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, that's just an
• 1:41:45
  absolute dirty combo. Then you had Randall Cobb.
• 1:41:49
  And they had freaking big, big Jonathan Starks.
• 1:41:54
  Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, you already know.
• 1:41:57
  We're talking about a game that we lost.
• 1:41:59
  Come on now. Come on now.
• 1:42:01
  But they had Packers had freaking Jonathan Starks, and
• 1:42:04
  Jonathan Coon was their fullback, if you remember.
• 1:42:06
  Jonathan Coon, freaking big, big white dude on the Packers #41 I
• 1:42:12
  think. No, you were #30 I could never
• 1:42:15
  forget, Jonathan. 30. He was dude, I'm I love a good
• 1:42:19
  full back bro. So like Jonathan Kuhn, he kind
• 1:42:21
  of started that for me, like bro, like a dog, just a dog at
• 1:42:26
  the full back position. Like the reason I'm like, I
• 1:42:28
  always love guys like that is, is cousin Jonathan Kuhn.
• 1:42:31
  Man, he he was the he was like the my first love in terms of
• 1:42:36
  full. Backs, but he's a dog.
• 1:42:38
  It was fun to watch dude I I loved it.
• 1:42:40
  The crazy thing about this game too, is that Aaron Rodgers,
• 1:42:43
  let's check is yeah, stats here, 27 to 35312 yards and three
• 1:42:48
  touchdowns. All three touchdowns were in the
• 1:42:51
  first quarter. So they're up 21 to 7 go in the
• 1:42:54
  second quarter. All the rest of their points
• 1:42:56
  scored was from 2/2 rushing touchdowns.
• 1:43:00
  And that a Randall Cobb taking it to the crib on us.
• 1:43:04
  Rookie Randall Cobb. That's what I that's what was
• 1:43:07
  the crazy part watching the highlights back of this game.
• 1:43:09
  You know, like the second round pick first showing he gets his
• 1:43:14
  first Lambo leap. Their kids these days will never
• 1:43:16
  know just how good Randall Cobb was, which is kind of crazy to
• 1:43:20
  say because he was pretty good throughout the 2000 tens.
• 1:43:23
  I just think he fell off a Cliff so sharply.
• 1:43:27
  And it's like now, like newer fans and they're just like
• 1:43:31
  starting to get into it. Like though they're younger, I'm
• 1:43:34
  just going to remember him being washed up.
• 1:43:37
  It's tough because he was electric as well.
• 1:43:42
  Yeah, you came in. Great pick though for a good
• 1:43:45
  throwback. That was a good opening night
• 1:43:47
  game. Yeah, both teams coming off
• 1:43:49
  Super Bowl wins, Packers and insane run that season too.
• 1:43:55
  Honestly, they they were always just really great in the regular
• 1:43:58
  season when they when they had a rod, they would kill everybody.
• 1:44:02
  But I wish Jimmy was here to talk about that game with me
• 1:44:06
  because I already know. He he knows.
• 1:44:08
  He knows. You know what?
• 1:44:09
  Let me put you on the 1/2. This was a 2017.
• 1:44:14
  I don't remember the exact day or exact week late in the
• 1:44:18
  season. It was a December game.
• 1:44:20
  It was here in Mile High, man. Sunday Night Football, Chiefs,
• 1:44:25
  Broncos and Trevor Simeon was our quarterback, dude.
• 1:44:30
  And this. Game went down to like literally
• 1:44:34
  came down to the final seconds of overtime.
• 1:44:39
  It was insane back and forth. I mean there was there was big
• 1:44:45
  play. I mean Simeon had probably the
• 1:44:48
  best game of his career. I don't know his his style, but
• 1:44:50
  if he was slinging it, he I I know he had over 300 yards.
• 1:44:54
  He had like a bomb to to Emmanuel Sanders, Alex Smith.
• 1:44:59
  I was he was I know. Is this I think this was the
• 1:45:03
  start of the Mahomes era. Yeah, this was right after this
• 1:45:07
  is like his his like sophomore year or something.
• 1:45:11
  And he he was No, no, it was Alex Smith.
• 1:45:15
  I'm I'm tripping. He he was going back and forth
• 1:45:18
  with, with us just putting up like they were just putting up
• 1:45:25
  stats. There were some insane defensive
• 1:45:27
  plays though, because I mean, the Chiefs had a pretty good
• 1:45:29
  defense at the time and we still had, you know, some part of the
• 1:45:32
  no fly zone was there. It was a, it was a great game,
• 1:45:36
  but it literally came down to like the like 4 seconds left in
• 1:45:40
  overtime. And at the time it was Cairo
• 1:45:43
  Santos was the cheese kicker and he banged it in off the left
• 1:45:48
  upright, like it pointed off the upright and was good.
• 1:45:52
  And I, oh, it was a heartbreaking loss, dude.
• 1:45:55
  I was just like, I could not believe it.
• 1:45:59
  And I think that loss really hurt our shot at making the
• 1:46:02
  playoffs. We ended up finishing nine and
• 1:46:04
  eight and we were we were quite literally the best of the non
• 1:46:07
  playoff teams in which was tough Telus, you know Telus pills
• 1:46:12
  swallow the season after. That that's a tough, tough,
• 1:46:16
  tough year, yeah, but. What?
• 1:46:19
  Started like a really bad run of quarterbacks.
• 1:46:23
  Yeah. And then Simeon fizzled out from
• 1:46:27
  there. And then we had how I've like
• 1:46:31
  even I've lost count. Was it 14 quarterbacks in the
• 1:46:33
  span of eight years? Yeah. 14 or 14 or 15?
• 1:46:37
  I think 14. So that was a that was a tough
• 1:46:42
  one. Another great prime time game
• 1:46:46
  that I can think of. Actually, this one wasn't even
• 1:46:51
  like prime time. It was just afternoon in the
• 1:46:52
  window. But the the Colts, another
• 1:46:56
  Colts, the Steelers, Patriots, Big Ben versus Tom Brady, Brady.
• 1:47:03
  And they like the Steelers, lose it on that.
• 1:47:06
  Jesse James, no catch because he didn't survive the ground in the
• 1:47:11
  end zone. That was a catch.
• 1:47:13
  That's a freaking. Catch 100% catch there.
• 1:47:15
  That that's a catch right there. Jesse James caught that ball.
• 1:47:18
  And then just keep it on the Steelers theme.
• 1:47:22
  They've had some great ones against the the the Ravens, but
• 1:47:25
  I think my favorite from those battles was Antonio Brown's like
• 1:47:30
  stretch in overtime, like where he like just barely stretched
• 1:47:35
  the ball out far enough to break the plane.
• 1:47:38
  Win it in OT. Yes, Kyle, that's also caught
• 1:47:42
  that ball. You're 100% right now.
• 1:47:45
  Those are both too bad. And let's not forget Megatron
• 1:47:49
  had a bad no call against the the Bears, but I think hurt the
• 1:47:53
  Lions from getting into the playoffs because they ultimately
• 1:47:55
  lost that game too. And Heartbreakers on the hell
• 1:48:01
  catch. Messed up world and let us know
• 1:48:05
  some of your favorite prime time games from back in the NFL
• 1:48:09
  regular season. Doing a little reminiscing
• 1:48:11
  before we look for. We got more great prime time
• 1:48:15
  games to get to UK, but what's another one you got circled on
• 1:48:17
  your schedule coming up this year?
• 1:48:19
  I'm looking forward to here, right here, commanders at
• 1:48:24
  chiefs. Holy Sir dude, I got that one
• 1:48:27
  circled too. Well, we'll see what happens.
• 1:48:30
  Monday Night Football. But I think that's going to be
• 1:48:33
  said probably one of the best, one of the best Monday night
• 1:48:37
  games we got this year on the slate.
• 1:48:39
  There, there's always that big question of year 2 quarterbacks,
• 1:48:42
  like who's going to, who's going to rise and fall like it.
• 1:48:46
  That's, that's always a big question there.
• 1:48:48
  But Jane Daniels, man, I think he proved he was the truth.
• 1:48:52
  I I expect him to be just as good, if not better.
• 1:48:56
  In Washington didn't do anything in this offseason but get
• 1:49:00
  better. I think they got Debo and big
• 1:49:04
  signings on their defense. Dude from the Texans, I'm
• 1:49:08
  blanking on his name. Laramie Tunsil yeah, they got
• 1:49:11
  him in that trade. So now, I mean, you got
• 1:49:14
  protecting your young quarterbacks blind side like
• 1:49:16
  that. Yeah, Debo, adding an element to
• 1:49:19
  this offense. They had a pretty good draft
• 1:49:23
  too. And defense is just getting
• 1:49:25
  better. Yeah, the this is going to be a
• 1:49:30
  crazy battle. And again, I'm not trying to be
• 1:49:34
  biased, but I just we're talking about Washington.
• 1:49:37
  They got another doozy of a matchup Week 13 on Sunday Night
• 1:49:41
  Football hosting my Broncos. I think that could be a
• 1:49:46
  fantastic battle between two young quarterbacks right there
• 1:49:52
  on primetime television. I'll be watching that one for
• 1:49:55
  shower. That will definitely be a good
• 1:49:57
  one will definitely be a good one.
• 1:50:00
  This the 2025 NFL Kickoff game right here is probably I think
• 1:50:05
  this one would be NFC East opener Cowboys, Eagles and we
• 1:50:12
  got. Cowboys are going to be better.
• 1:50:14
  They're going to be much better. They just had a really bad
• 1:50:17
  string of luck last year. But that's, that's what I'm
• 1:50:22
  going to attribute it to. I mean, the injuries, injuries,
• 1:50:26
  poor coaching. I mean, it's going to be like
• 1:50:31
  they'll probably ultimately choke in some big games.
• 1:50:35
  But I, I think they're going to be a good regular season team
• 1:50:39
  again. And I mean, it'll be tough for
• 1:50:43
  them to make the play offs because they're going to have a
• 1:50:44
  really good division and the NFC is just going to be really good
• 1:50:48
  again. If they do make the playoffs,
• 1:50:51
  they'll probably be wild card that exits in again.
• 1:50:54
  But I got the Cowboys on here a couple times 'cause I think
• 1:50:57
  they're going to the offense. I mean with George Pickens and
• 1:51:00
  CD then I mean that's that's a great, you know, stat pad in
• 1:51:05
  Hubie. I mean that's he's got some
• 1:51:07
  weapons to throw to now. So the offensive line's a little
• 1:51:12
  worse. But if we just I'm going to just
• 1:51:15
  swing up here to some of these draft picks that the the Cowboys
• 1:51:19
  may they're going to go all the way back up to the top.
• 1:51:22
  So shout out to the the commanders getting tunsiled and
• 1:51:25
  we didn't mention Josh Connolly out of the Oregon ducks going to
• 1:51:31
  be a fantastic guard for them. I I think so, But Dallas
• 1:51:38
  question, you know, Tyler Booker, can he replace Zach
• 1:51:41
  Martin who retired? I'm looking at Jayden Blue.
• 1:51:45
  Can he emerge is kind of the number one coin in the back of
• 1:51:48
  the but then think about defensive line.
• 1:51:51
  Bro Donovan has a Riku who in my opinion was a top three pass
• 1:51:56
  rusher in this class that they got in the second round with
• 1:52:00
  Micah Parsons. That'll be a pretty crazy pass
• 1:52:03
  rush. Trayvon Diggs, if he can stay
• 1:52:05
  healthy, he's got Siobhan revel to help him out there.
• 1:52:08
  The safety positions they and linebackers are a little weak.
• 1:52:12
  So I mean, those probably still give up a fair amount of points,
• 1:52:14
  but you know, their defense will that that that pass rush that
• 1:52:19
  they got should be pretty formidable.
• 1:52:21
  I've also got them on Sunday Night Football or actually
• 1:52:25
  rather on Thanksgiving. They'll be hosting the cheese.
• 1:52:28
  I think that could be a very good game there.
• 1:52:34
  Another team that I've got on here a decent amount is.
• 1:52:46
  All right, NFL not caught me closed out.
• 1:52:49
  These pop up ads. I just want to look at the
• 1:52:52
  schedule of the league. Another team that I've got on
• 1:52:56
  here a couple times, the Minnesota Vikings, I think JJ
• 1:53:00
  McCarthy, that the younger quarterback, they're rolling
• 1:53:02
  with one of the best situations you could possibly become an
• 1:53:06
  imperfect. Spot.
• 1:53:07
  The defense maybe took a small hit, but they still got a master
• 1:53:12
  D defensive coordinator and Brian Flores I think will make
• 1:53:17
  it work out very well. I'd be like Week 2 out of
• 1:53:20
  Atlanta. I'm going to love to see a
• 1:53:22
  battle between him and Michael Pennix.
• 1:53:24
  I've got them the Week 8 match up at the LA Rams on Thursday
• 1:53:30
  Night Football and then Little. Playoff.
• 1:53:33
  Sunday Night Football late in the year at Dallas Week 15.
• 1:53:39
  I'm. I just think, look, I mean, you
• 1:53:41
  got the weapons there, a great offensive line.
• 1:53:45
  I think the running back situation is pretty good.
• 1:53:47
  I mean, like they brought back Aaron Jones, Cam Akers, Those
• 1:53:52
  guys were solid 1-2 punch combination there.
• 1:53:56
  TJ Hawkinson, great safety blanket for a young receiver to
• 1:53:59
  have. It's a good situation where I
• 1:54:03
  think he'll just be a good a good chance for them to get him
• 1:54:06
  along the confidence early and get him going and playing well
• 1:54:13
  throughout the year. And I mean, yeah, just Justin
• 1:54:17
  Jefferson, if he's got even like a semi cop in the quarterback
• 1:54:22
  throw. I mean, not I mean even not
• 1:54:24
  really bro. Like we had Nick Mullens tossing
• 1:54:26
  him the raw at the end of the 23 season.
• 1:54:29
  He was at just stat or just cooking people.
• 1:54:32
  So that won't that won't be a problem.
• 1:54:36
  I think Minnesota is a team that's going to be a lot of fun.
• 1:54:39
  I mean all all JJ's got to do is just not play bad to the point
• 1:54:44
  where they feel like they got a sub in Daniel Jones.
• 1:54:48
  Just don't make us watch Danny Dimes.
• 1:54:51
  If we get to that point, think of that desperate.
• 1:54:54
  I don't think JJ is going to be that bad with, you know, coach
• 1:54:57
  like Kevin McConnell there too. There's no.
• 1:55:00
  Way it's kind of set up for him to like.
• 1:55:03
  One of the. He has no opportunity to play
• 1:55:05
  that. Bad one of the best guys you
• 1:55:07
  could get with a young quarterback in this league.
• 1:55:09
  I mean, he's going to those guys were getting together should do
• 1:55:13
  do someone do's for him. What I need everyone to do
• 1:55:16
  though, is circle every Saints game on your calendar exactly
• 1:55:19
  because of the shucks show. The Shucks Show will take.
• 1:55:23
  Over the league. By storm, Yeah.
• 1:55:25
  Let's go Week 1. I think our best match up to
• 1:55:30
  watch their divisional round rematch.
• 1:55:33
  Baltimore at Buffalo, Mark Andrews redemption game, a
• 1:55:37
  potential playoff preview. A good chance those teams run
• 1:55:42
  into each other again when last time the Ravens play the, you
• 1:55:50
  know, play the Bills and cool and warm weather rather there.
• 1:55:53
  Kendry ran roughshod over Buffalo, over Buffalo.
• 1:55:57
  Yeah, that was a a home game. But they just.
• 1:55:59
  I mean, he ran for like $1.89, two touchdowns.
• 1:56:02
  Yeah. Like it would be interesting to
• 1:56:05
  see too, like Week 1, like, you know, those additions of the
• 1:56:10
  Bills tried to make on the D line.
• 1:56:12
  Is Joey Bosa going to be healthy?
• 1:56:13
  Is he going to make an impact? Is Derrick Henry still going to
• 1:56:17
  be a dominant type running back? I mean, he's like, he could
• 1:56:22
  carved it up last year, but dude, now he's 34.
• 1:56:26
  It's like is when are we going to see that step loose?
• 1:56:28
  Is it going to be this year? Is he going to continue to run
• 1:56:31
  all over people? I think he's still got some time
• 1:56:35
  before he does. Honestly, I think he's still got
• 1:56:38
  some time all. Right.
• 1:56:40
  I've been throwing out a couple of a lot came in.
• 1:56:43
  Is there any others you got that you want to highlight real
• 1:56:46
  quick? Let's see that Christmas game,
• 1:56:50
  Chiefs, Broncos is going to be pretty good here.
• 1:56:54
  Avalanche has resigned. Brock Nelson.
• 1:56:57
  OK, OK, Kyle, Avalanche re signing Brock and Nelson.
• 1:57:03
  That's big. All right, that's big.
• 1:57:05
  Detroit, Philadelphia, Right here, Week 11.
• 1:57:09
  Sunday Night Football. Got that one on here too, yeah.
• 1:57:11
  That should be circled on everyone.
• 1:57:13
  'S dude, I'm a little worried about the I'm actually a lot
• 1:57:15
  worried about the Lions, dude, Frank Ragnell's gone.
• 1:57:18
  I mean, that's just another hit to that offensive line.
• 1:57:22
  And you really don't understand how good Frank Ragnell was as a
• 1:57:26
  center. He was just like when you're and
• 1:57:31
  you're, when you're talking blocking schemes, a lot of times
• 1:57:35
  you got to send a guard to help the center because he's got that
• 1:57:37
  extra like he's he's late getting into that position
• 1:57:42
  because he's got to snap the football.
• 1:57:45
  Ragnell was so elite like that's why I don't actually elite
• 1:57:49
  center is just hard to is is one of the best things you can have
• 1:57:55
  in the NFL because he could snap that ball and not need any guard
• 1:58:00
  help and still win his, you know, assignment most of the
• 1:58:03
  time. And that would really allow the
• 1:58:05
  guards to shift out to the tackles.
• 1:58:08
  And you know, that's all where a lot of your elite pass rushers
• 1:58:13
  are coming from anyways is all on the edges.
• 1:58:15
  And so giving that extra guard help to the tackle or, you know,
• 1:58:20
  like the tackle just being able to know he can get out on the
• 1:58:22
  edge and the guard can just go and take the inside rusher is is
• 1:58:27
  huge. So we'll see.
• 1:58:29
  I mean, Ben Johnson's gone, that offensive line got worse.
• 1:58:36
  They lost some guys, Carlton Davis on defense.
• 1:58:39
  Like where's what's going to happen with the Lions?
• 1:58:43
  It's going to be real tough to pull off that number one seed
• 1:58:47
  again and and cruise the way they did.
• 1:58:49
  I think they still could be a competitive team, but you know,
• 1:58:54
  the Packers I think are just going to are going to be even
• 1:58:57
  better than before. Yeah, I think they're.
• 1:59:00
  Probably they finally draft a weapon for their for their
• 1:59:02
  quarterback. So that defense is still good.
• 1:59:05
  I think the Packers probably win the North this year.
• 1:59:08
  You're going to have to deal with the Vikings.
• 1:59:11
  They'll be they'll definitely be something going to be a tough
• 1:59:14
  one for the Lions here. All right, last game.
• 1:59:17
  I just want to throw real quick and highlight before we go week
• 1:59:20
  12 Carolina at San Francisco Monday Night Football.
• 1:59:23
  I like it. So keep an eye on the Panthers,
• 1:59:25
  dude. I think Bryce Young could be in
• 1:59:27
  for a good season, man. They they got him some help
• 1:59:31
  protection on the offensive line.
• 1:59:33
  They got him some weapons, some actual running backs.
• 1:59:36
  Dude like let's like let's go like I'm just rooting for the
• 1:59:41
  guy man. Bryce Young had such a brutal
• 1:59:44
  1st 1819 games of his NFL career where he just, no, he had nobody
• 1:59:51
  to really throw it to. He was just under siege bro.
• 1:59:54
  Guy was getting abused. But he he got benched and he
• 1:59:57
  came back in and he balled out and now he's going to have even
• 2:00:01
  more weapons. So watch the Hairlina Panthers.
• 2:00:04
  But that's going to do our show. For the that's going to be our
• 2:00:06
  show for the day folks. We're going to have to sign off
• 2:00:08
  the year here real quick. Another episode until the final
