  Speaker 6: Incoming?
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Coming up.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: Look at us. Look at us.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Who would have thought?
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: That's my fantasy draft name.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: Is it?
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: Chuck if you buck.
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: How do you spell it?
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: The way he spells it. But I spell buck normally.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: That's Tetflix and chill.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I like that one.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: It's a good one.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I feel like I could never. We're playing each other.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I got Teteroa. Oh, y'all are?
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: Oh, we are?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: Let's go. I'm RIP Lance Harbor.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: You always are.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: Every year.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It's so funny.
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: When it popped up, I just saw the name. I
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: was like, that's a Mets team.
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't want there to be a moment
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: where he's not resting in peace.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Well, now, I mean.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Bro, how about.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: If I would have known, I would have gone, rest
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: in peace, Jonathan Moxon.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, how about.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: True.
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: Johnny Moxon and Lance Harbor.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: It's tough.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: Was there a known third stringer on that movie? No.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, you better watch out.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking that Twitter was probably the emergency quarterback.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you're probably right.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: You're probably right. Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Twitter, you take the snaps.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: Okay. Yeah, that's what it was.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: They had to have had a more long-term plan, though.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. They're high school football.
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: They weren't big either. They didn't have a lot of
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: people on the team.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: It didn't feel like a 5A school. It felt more
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: like a 3A situation. It did.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: No, you know what? They referenced being 3A in the movie.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: Because he's like, Gilroy was 4A last year. Since they
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: moved down to 3A, they've been killing people. Yeah, so
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: they were only a 3A school.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Somebody, Darius in the chat said, mine is Bucked Up
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: and Shucked Up. That one's so good, too.
• 3:01
  Speaker 9: But I feel like ever since, Shuck If You Buck
• 3:03
  Speaker 9: was my fantasy name last season, too, but I feel
• 3:06
  Speaker 9: like ever since we asked him and he picked Shuck
• 3:09
  Speaker 9: If You Buck, I can never change it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Like the man himself, from his lips to our ears.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: Friend of the show. I'm Shador Shank Redemption in honor
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: of my favorite movie and favorite NFL quarterback.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: Shador Shank Redemption, okay.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I love fantasy football. Is Shador your quarterback?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you've got to have the guy on
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: your team.
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: I agree, which is why normally I switch after. Last
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: season in one of my leagues, I was Osaquon, you see.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Someone had Saquon these nuts.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: That's a good one. Buddy Mudd always does it every year.
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: He doesn't always get him, but he gets my.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Zach Ertz.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: He says my nut Zach Ertz.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I've used my ball before. No, I've used that one.
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: I've used my ball.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, same one. It always makes me laugh.
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: So I'm in a league where your name's locked in
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: one time, and you can't change it after the draft. And, like,
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: there's a guy in my league, his name is Ridaculous.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: And I was like, well, I'm taking Dak Prescott. And
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: he's like, give him to me. Trade him to me.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I'm like, why would you pick a name of the player?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take that guy.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Well, you have Shador Sanders.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: But he's not on my team.
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: If you're going to do that and name your team
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: after a player before the draft, you've got to take
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: him first round.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Whoever it is.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: I was not going to take Tyler Shuck in the
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: first round.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I reached a little bit even on Ted in
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: our draft because I was like, I've already made my name.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I've already made my name. Take him in the fourth round.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Although he's good. Jackson beat... I didn't beat because he
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: still got... Jackson did well last night in our family
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: league and he was going against his mom. He sent
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Our group chat, Michael Urban with the belt.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: Oh, BTA?
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: How are you going to do that to your mom?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Tag Katie in there.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: It's only one game.
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: How many players could he have actually had? Did he
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: have a defense? I think he did.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: He probably had JSN.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: If he had Seattle's defense.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Or JSN.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: He had like 20-something points already.
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: Fantasy.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Fantasy. You get feeling real comfortable, real good about yourself.
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: And then the one person that's supposed to show up
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: and show out has the worst game ever.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: A.J.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Brown, I mean, he went out on the third. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: have him in our league.
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: I don't know if I've had a first-rounder make it
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: the whole season in a while.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I took B. John Robinson in both the leagues that
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I'm in.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: So if B. John goes down, I'm sinking with him.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: We're both in the ship. We're going down.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Going down.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: But if he's great, he got it twice. Wow.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: What a double-edged sword. A little bit of a true
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: circle here.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: So I interviewed Bijan two days ago. And I don't know.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I asked him about Tua Tungvaluwa.
• 6:10
  Speaker 10: Oh, boy.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: And Bijan's so good on the mic or whatever. And
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: it just felt like there was like a pause almost. Ugh.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And again, like maybe I'm looking too much into it,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: but I was like, man, that was a lot.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: No, there was a, let me find it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: Like he paused and was like, let me make sure
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: I see.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: The right thing.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Let me get my media training.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, remember my training. He's going to say the right thing.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Like that's just who he is. And very intelligent, well-spoken.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: It's almost like in that moment, I kind of felt
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: bad for him. And look, I know he's a Falcon.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I know it's a Saint show, but I'm just saying
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: he's a really good player, a good human being.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: And it was like, pause, let me think. Compose myself.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Because you think about, like, the weapons that they have, London, Pitts, Bijon,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: it's pretty good.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: It's really good.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: But, man, I just– even if Michael Penix Jr. was healthy,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I just don't think y'all can do it. That's why
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I've said all offseason I think it's Tampa Bay and
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: New Orleans. Like, I don't trust Carolina right now either.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Their weapons are just not there. I don't think Bryce
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Young– I don't think Bryce Young is at the very
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: bottom of the NFL, but I don't think he can
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: elevate you to go win.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: A football game. So it really feels like.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: So let's go back to Tua real quick.
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: I don't, I think, I feel like we did ourselves
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: a disservice because it was a very OTB story. Like
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: we did not talk about his burner account.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, I forgot about it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: Like, honestly, that was, and I know this is old
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: news and I get it. And everybody's kind of heard
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: about this, but Tua got caught red handed posting from
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: his burner account.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah. He didn't switch his page.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't switch it to the burner.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: Which.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Come on. So he posted.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: That brain is so scrambled.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: It's so scrambled. Scrambled eggs, man. And that stinks.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I guess I don't get a burner. And like a
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: lot of athletes have them.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Have them.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: KD's famous for having them. I guess I just don't get.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Who's famous for having them? Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant. If
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I want to confront somebody, if somebody's like, hey. you
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: are horrible. Like you're awful. I'm either going to pop
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: off a joke or I'm going to be like the worst.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Am I right? Like I, from my account.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Or I'll like it. Like, so they know that I saw.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: I think he's trying to hype himself up.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: He didn't get on that burner account to like argue
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: with somebody. He was like, Hey, you know, we're cheering
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: for you.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: We're proud of you.
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: Also, if you post it, think about like, we're kind
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: of creatures of habit. Like, let's say if Alondra makes
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: a post, she has a burner post, something positive. Everybody's like,
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: This is a positive comment section. I'm going to leave
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: a positive comment. I'm going to leave one. It's almost
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: like you're just trying to, like, self-reassurance, kind of. It's
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: an odd thing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: I don't know what it was, but it was funny,
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: but then you kind of look at it, and it
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: was like, man. If it was literally him with his
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: thumbs posting that from what he thought was a burner account, this.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: Is almost sad.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: No, that's what I was going to say.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Because of the messaging behind it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: I actually, like, I know we joke about it and
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: all that, but I actually feel bad for Tua because...
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: the internet is brutal and so are the people that
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: are on TV shows talking about how awful you are.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Like what I was looking for was somebody, I just
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: found it.
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: Um, but basically they were saying like, if Tua doesn't
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: get it together, if this doesn't go well for Tua
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: and he gets benched again, I'm told there's a strong
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: possibility the Falcons will do what the dolphins.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Did and cut Tua. They haven't even played a game yet.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: And they're talking about cutting Tua.
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: Like, Yeah, maybe he's not the best quarterback in the league,
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: but he's still a person at the end of the day.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: I have a big pet peeve, too. Look, you can
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: have criticism of somebody. You can have fair criticism of somebody.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: You can evaluate somebody, their play on the field. That's
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: all fair. No doubt about it. It's what we should do.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: But I do have a problem with somebody that has
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: never popped a pimple on a football field saying somebody
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: like that is awful or terrible in the way that
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: they bring their arguments. I'm like, okay, well, if you
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: believe that, that's fine. Show me why you believe that.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Bring up the tape. Show me the tape. Analyze the tape.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Show me where he's bad, where he's awful. And if
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: you can do that, I have no problem. But if
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: you just say it because you've heard it and you
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: think that somebody said it that you're like, oh, I
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: can take that and I can run with it, okay.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: But you never did that. And I'm not saying you
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: have to be a player by any means.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, some of the best people that we have
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: in this business didn't play at that level. But there's
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: a way to form the argument, is my point, instead
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: of just saying, he's terrible. If you say somebody's terrible
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: and awful, you have to tell me why they are.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: What did they struggle with?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: And then you kind of also have to, like, say,
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: he's terrible at this level.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: At this time.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: At the highest level you could play at.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Because actually, he's, like, really good.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Who do y'all feel worse for? Tua or J.J. McCarthy?
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: Y'all see the news yesterday?
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: J.J.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Is, like, more of a D-bag than Tua, though. So I.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Tua is.
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: The burner talents of choice.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: Well, so his wife came out, and she was like,
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: I don't know how true this is. Like, it could
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: have just been, like, the wife... falling in front of
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: the bullet for the husband but she was like i
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: manage his accounts that was on me.
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: Did y'all see the the the jj news search string
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: yeah carson wentz is now the backup quarterback yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: It's great shocked i'm almost as shocked as that is
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: the whole vote thing no vote yeah and you're right
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: like Yeah, J.J.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: Comes off a little bit more of a D-bag.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: After the story with Kyler about the high school.
• 11:45
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Like, what was that?
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: But, like, Tua.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: And calling himself nine.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Tua seems like a great person.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: Yes. A great human, great family person. He is.
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: Loves the Lord. Does all the right things. But I
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: texted you after this, the burner thing happened. I was like, man,
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: what's up with people from Hawaii? They love a fake person.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: They do love a fake person.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: They love a fake person.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Truly.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: You're not wrong.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: I really do.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: What? I'm just calling it like a secret.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: They do love a fake person.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: They really do.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: God, what a wild story that was.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Holy man. Holy man.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: He was doing very well for himself.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's on NFL Network. He does a nice job.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: He's actually really good on there.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: He's very put together. He's got nice suits.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: And I appreciate that he's not super polished and we're
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: not super polished. But they're like, hey, we like what
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: you're saying. We like your vibe. We're going to put
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: you on TV.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: I enjoy watching him when I've seen him. I don't
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: watch the NFL Network a whole lot, but when I do,
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: I've seen him. I've enjoyed it. But, man, he loves
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: a fake person. I still don't understand how that works,
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: how that happened. But he's owned it, and I appreciate that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: We love accountability.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: I did a lot of dumb things in college.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, the dumbest.
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: A lot of dumb things.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: That's what you do in college.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Right. Matt did more. Matt did, like, a little more
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: than most.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: It's okay.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: What? I mean, what are you talking about?
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: I don't bring dirty laundry on air, bud.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: No fake people, though.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: No fake people. They were all real.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: No fake girlfriends.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: They were all real. What are you talking about? Matt
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: didn't have a girlfriend until he met Lacey. Don't know
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: what you're talking about.
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: Wear a poncho.
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: Sex.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Wear a poncho. ponchooutdoors.com slash offthebench to be specific. All right.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: I do actually want to talk about the, I don't
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: know how we found our way to, I guess we
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: started talking NFC South to a tongue of my.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Loa, but I do want to break down a little bit.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: That was a good topic.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Saints and the Lions. It is One of the bigger
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: point spreads. I believe it's actually the second biggest point
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: spread in the NFL, I think, this weekend. I think
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Saints and the Lions. It's a touchdown right now. So
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: we'll break it down. We'll preview that game. We've got
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Ronnie Rantz also joining us here in about 15 minutes
• 14:25

  Speaker 3: Hadn't heard this in a minute.

  Speaker 7: It's a banger.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: I wish I knew how to play guitar just for
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: this song.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: There's a lot, yeah. There's a lot of songs that
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: would fall in that category for sure. Let's see.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: We've got a couple things in the chat to catch
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: up real quick.
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: Let's see.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Happy early birthday, Tay-Tay. That's tomorrow.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Alondra, will you be at Don Juan's tomorrow?
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Love Don Juan. I just can't do the cigar smoke, y'all.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Every season, I think I'm free of Don Juan. It's like, nope,
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: we're doing shows there again, which love it. Shout out, Clay.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I thought you went because you were a smoker.
• 17:15
  Speaker 10: No.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: He smokes a pack.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know who that is. It's cigar smoke.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Y'all, the first time I ever smoked a cigar, I
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: inhaled it. No, I'm not a cigar smoker.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: There you go. You're right, Matt.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: She's ripping heaters, not cigars.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Brambo inside the chat. Scone told Feinbaum to square up.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Matt C., are Scone and Feinbaum going to meet at
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Sonic on Burbank?
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: Celebrity death match.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Dane, Scone needs to tell Marler to hit the road.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: He is Feinbaum's boyfriend. Did we miss something between scone
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: and Feinbaum?
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Wait, what's going on? Square up. I need the tea.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Wonder whose ankles would break first, scones or Feinbaum's?
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Definitely not Matt's.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: Also, if you're a real one, you meet up at
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: the Sonic right here on government.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the Burbank one's a little too nice.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you meet up right here at Sonic on government
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: if you bought it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: If you really want to scrap, that's where you go. No,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Taylor's birthday is not today. It's actually September the 11th. Yes,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: you heard that right.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Last day of 29. Okay.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: All right, big 3-0.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: You're about to hit your prime, Tay-Tay.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: This is from Rob.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: Cassie said I'm going to be unk age, which I
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: didn't really appreciate.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: It's a good age.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: It's a good age, though. It's a good age.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: Being an unk is pretty cool.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Real quick, I do want to talk Saints and Lions. Matt,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: is Clemson hydrated?
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: You were hydrating the enemy?
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Not very.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: Actually, the Olympic teams are hydrated.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, but not the football. I was about to say,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: it showed.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Makes sense.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: In Olympic sports, it just means everything.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: He said bald fight. I was about to.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: Say, yeah.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Matt and Paul.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Bald fight. Not a hair in that ring.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Not one.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Ain't no follicle in sight. I ain't got a lot
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: of room to talk. Ain't no follicle in sight.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: You got some follicles out there.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: You got some follicles, bro. Um, God, I guess we
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: missed something. We'll catch up. It doesn't matter. Come on.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: What are you doing? All right. So I mentioned it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: The only point spread that I think is bigger right
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: now than the saints and the lions is the chargers
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: and the Cardinals.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: There's, there's two. Okay. So Brown's Jaguars. Oh, that would,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: that went up to eight.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: It's eight and a half.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Oh God. It went from seven to eight and a half. Okay.
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Uh, chargers Cardinals is nine and a half. That was
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: actually at 10. So that's come down a little bit.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: I am all over that one, but okay. So Jags
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: and Browns eight and a half. So third right now,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: and it doesn't like the Browns and Jacksonville, that makes sense.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Jacksonville won 13 games last year. The Browns aren't very good.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: The Chargers and the Cardinals makes all the sense in
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: the world. Chargers won 11 games. Cardinals won three. I'm
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: surprised how big this one is. And I think Detroit's
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: going to be a good football team. Maybe, you know,
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: no bones about it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: But seven?
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: That feels like a big number.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: You know, the Lions right now, they're going through some injuries,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: certainly in the defensive backfield.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Two safeties, I believe.
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: Two safeties.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: And, I mean, Terry Arnold, who got released, obviously, he
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: had an off-the-field situation. Like, that's three starters that aren't
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: in your defensive backfield to start the season.
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and we kind of get sheltered here in Louisiana
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: talking about the Saints a lot, talking about all the
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: positive things that are coming out of training camp, the
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: positive moves made in the offseason.
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think we kind of get sheltered from the
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: fact of what the national reputation for the Saints is,
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: at least right now. They're still, let's not forget, they
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: were still bad last year. Yeah, they finished well. Tyler
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: Shuck finished the season well, playing very well as a rookie.
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: But still not a threat to be a contender, yet
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: we don't believe. You know, you can always... Magic can
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: always happen. You never really know. That's why you play
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: the games. That's why you play the season. But let's
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: still not get it twisted that the Saints aren't supposed
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: to be really good this year, at least from the
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: public opinion.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Now, the Lions are supposed to be. So I understand
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: the betting line.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Like, would you be like that upset if the game
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: finished 34-27? You'd say that's a pretty close game. But,
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's still seven points there, so.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: I think it's.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Probably pretty good.
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: I mean, five and a half would be the bare
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: minimum I would see this game at at home. Detroit's
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: a very hard place to play.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: It is. It's a warehouse.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I guess my whole point was to have the third
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: biggest line in the NFL this weekend.
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but what was the Saints when they did all
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: the rankings on the roster? I think, what are the Saints, 28?
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I know that Tay-Tay put it in there a little
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: bit earlier today on CBS Sports.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: The Saints came in at 24.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Which was behind the Bucs and Panthers, which.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Behind the Panthers?
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Memphis has to put this list together.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: They hit the Bucs at 14.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: They're not even going to get a 1,000-yard season from
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Xavier Leggett.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I never, like, I'm obviously, this is to tell you
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: your phones are always listening. Like, I never talk about
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: the Detroit Lions, and I just had Lions NFL gear here.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Click on this. I don't like that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: I hate that.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: Hey, brother.
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: You and I were talking about it the other day,
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: and you mentioned that David Montgomery is going to be
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: a big loss for the offense. And then we were like, oh, well,
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: they brought in Isaiah Pacheco. Maybe he can do something.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: Isaiah Pacheco's on IR.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: IR, yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: A lot of injuries on that team. That's a big line.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: Saints by seven.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Alternate line.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Some pretty decent odds on that. Running backs, yeah, it
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: certainly is an issue for the Lions. And it is
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: funny how quick it can flip on you. So the
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Lions last year had David Montgomery and Jameer Gibbs.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: One-two punch, boom.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: You lose Montgomery, you trade him, you sign Pacheco, he's gone.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: And so now you're looking at a couple of special
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: teams backup guys going to be the only other backs
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: in the backfield. Kind of like we talked about with
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: the Patriots. It's like, oh, we got a surplus of receivers.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Let's trade Kayshaun Booty.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: You trade him. All of a sudden, A.J. Brown gets hurt.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: You're wondering, how long is he going to be out?
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: Romeo Dobbs, look, it's one game, but he did not
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: have a great start to his Patriots tenure there.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: So it's like, oh, man.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: It's hard to ever think you have a real surplus
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: in the NFL. As soon as you do, you realize
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: how small the rosters are.
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: I'd be curious to know, if I could just go
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: back in time and take an injury away, what that
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: line would be if Jordan Tyson was fully healthy. Because it's...
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: the first game of the season, nobody's seen Tyler Shuck
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: play in preseason.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Like you don't know what the saints are going to be.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: You certainly haven't felt the effects of the injuries for
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: the lions yet because they hadn't played a game.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: The saints are going to have.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: To do something to make people see, Oh yeah, they're
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: playing with a bunch of backups right now.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Now they got to go earn that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: But right. Jordan Tyson, I think we saw really early on.
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: That was a difference maker.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That he's that type of special athlete.
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: I would, uh, I bet that that one injury alone,
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: that one player, and a receiver's never going to affect
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: the line that much. But first game of the season,
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: a lot of unknowns out there, some injuries, a first-round
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: top-10 wide receiver that has made an impact like he did,
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: I think that would have affected the batting line at
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: least by at least a point, point and a half.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: So it is a matchup that is going to favor
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: the Saints in some ways, even though the line is
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: what it is.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not here to pretend that.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: The Lions don't have a great quarterback, great receivers, great
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: running back, good tight end. They certainly have ways they
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: can score the football. But when I look at their
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: defense right now, because of injury, they are beat up
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: a little bit. Now there's going to be some familiar
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: names on that defense, including Devin White. He was signed
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: to that team kind of right before, as camp's happening.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: And Kelvin Shepard, I talked with him about this. He's like, yeah,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: I went down the hall. I'm like, hey, can we
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: sign Devin White?
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: We need him.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: We need a veteran guy. I know what he can do.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: I've watched him play for a long time. So they
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: signed him. He ends up winning a starting job. So
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: that's something to pay attention to there in the middle
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: of the defense for the Lions.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: But I like the Saints to cover.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: We'll break down that game in more detail as we
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: get closer. Certainly tomorrow live from Rouse's on a football Friday.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: But that line, to me.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: A little too big for where both teams are right now.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: All right, we will step away when we come back.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Rodney Rance is going to join us in studio. There's
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: a new 2027 Hall of Fame class for the Louisiana
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Sports Hall of Fame.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: He's going to break down who that is, who you'll see.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: It is a star-studded class, and we'll have that from
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Jumbo when we come back.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Off the bench.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: All right, go to getgordon.com. Gordon McKernan, injury attorneys. It
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: is throughout the state of Louisiana.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Hey, Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame is in Natchitoches.

  Speaker 3: Guess what? They are there. They're in Natchitoches. They're in Alexandria.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: It is 318-888-8888 there.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Here, it's 225-888-8888. Down with the Saints play. We're just
• 26:23

  Speaker 4: We've got our guy Ronnie Rantz in studio here with us.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: A new Louisiana Sports.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Hall of Fame class coming up in 2027, and it is,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: as we told you, star-studded. A lot of names that
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: everyone is going to recognize. But before we get to there,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: how we doing, Jumbo?
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Good to see you.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Doing great, man.
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: Good to be back here and you two together in
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: the morning. You know, sometimes that doesn't happen.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit of a, you know. I hear Matt.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I can feel him.
• 29:01
  Speaker 11: I've been in that situation, sitting in the chair for three,
• 29:04
  Speaker 11: four hours by yourself.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I did not sign up for that either.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Right, right.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: When I took the job, I said, Jake, you're not allowed.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: To be out ever. By the way, I've heard him
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: say that lots.
• 29:13
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Well, at the time, whenever we decided we were going
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: to do this, I wasn't on the NFL channel.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: I was on the college channel.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: And there wasn't this training camp tour that I was
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: going to go on. And so when I found out,
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: they're like, yeah, we're going to be gone for three weeks.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: I'm like, how do I break the news to this guy?
• 29:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was like– I'm good with being Robin. Don't
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: need to be Batman.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Hey, but Ronnie, more than anybody, you can appreciate this
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: because you were on the original Hanging with Hester.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Team as well. Getting him to show up every morning
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: has been very impressive. Because I was like, yeah. Yeah,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: it means Gordie's family. I get it. I get it.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: Hall of Fame?
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: No, we're not talking about Texas Hall of Fame. Louisiana
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Sports Hall of Fame.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: East Texas. It's such a big state, they split it.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: Oh, that is.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: That's true. That is very true. All right, now, Ronnie,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: this is a great class.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: It's certainly got a lot of names that everybody is
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: going to recognize. And guys, look, some of these guys
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: didn't play that long ago, which I think is cool.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: It's a blend of old and new and people that
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: are very deserving, obviously, including... Our guy, Terrio, we talked
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: about earlier, who you can catch, obviously, every Friday on
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: AFR with Scone.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Terrio did a.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: Lot of things at a lot of levels, going all
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: the way back to his days at Broadmoor. So good
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: to see all those guys get in. But just go
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: over the class because, again, there's so many big names
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: this year going in.
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: Well, first off, let me just kind of– I always
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: like to let people know the process, right?
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you were just telling us, and I had no idea.
• 30:41
  Speaker 11: In order to be just eligible, in order to just
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: be on the consideration– You have to have played two
• 30:47
  Speaker 11: years of high school in Louisiana or two years or
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: more college in Louisiana or five years or more professional.
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: And so that's just to minimally to meet the standard.
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: And then from there, you know, the gatekeepers, the Doug
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: Islands of the world, the Kent Lowe's of the world.
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: will determine, really, if you make just the broad list.
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: And the broad list is about 160, 170 people. That
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: list gets sent to the LSWA members, 100-plus members, the
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: Louisiana Sports.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame Foundation board.
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: And from there, they vote and narrow it down to
• 31:18
  Speaker 11: usually a list that's a more manageable 50, 60-person list.
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: Keep in mind, over 20 sports represented, different categories, all
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: that kind of stuff.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: We'll spend a Sunday afternoon in August and usually get together.
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: It takes about four or five hours to process to
• 31:32
  Speaker 11: go through those lists and come up with a class.
• 31:35
  Speaker 11: And you have some criteria, right? We're obliged through 2030
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: to have a high school coach. We also have to
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: have two veterans members, which are 70 or older folks
• 31:45
  Speaker 11: or people that have been on the ballot for 15
• 31:47
  Speaker 11: years or longer. So you have some categories, and you
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: can't have more than three from a given sport. And
• 31:52
  Speaker 11: if you have more than three, you can't have more
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: than two from other categories. So there's a lot of
• 31:55
  Speaker 11: rules you have to abide by. This year's class is incredible.
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: You guys being football guys, you'll appreciate the LSU tie,
• 32:03
  Speaker 11: which has Leonard Fournette.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Patrick Peterson.
• 32:06
  Speaker 11: I mean, Patrick Peterson will be in the Pro Football
• 32:07
  Speaker 11: Hall of Fame in a couple years, maybe even a
• 32:09
  Speaker 11: first ballot guy. And then I'm excited for a guy
• 32:12
  Speaker 11: named Henry Thomas. You know, I grew up watching Henry
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: Thomas in the 80s at LSU with a fantastic defensive lineman,
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: but mostly with the Minnesota Vikings. This guy has 95
• 32:22
  Speaker 11: or so career sacks. I mean, from the nose guard position,
• 32:25
  Speaker 11: there's only like two people, Warren Sapp and someone else,
• 32:28
  Speaker 11: I think, Aaron Donald, that have more sacks than he
• 32:31
  Speaker 11: does from that position that he played. So that tells
• 32:34
  Speaker 11: you how great he was and surprising it took him
• 32:36
  Speaker 11: so long, right, to get into the Hall of Fame.
• 32:38
  Speaker 11: So that's your three football guys, which are all unbelievable.
• 32:42
  Speaker 11: Leonard Fournette was probably one Alabama game away from winning
• 32:45
  Speaker 11: the Heisman, you know.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: And then in baseball, I'm excited.
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: Because we don't often get two guys in, and this
• 32:51
  Speaker 11: year we got Ryan Terrio and Aaron Hill.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: And people forget kind.
• 32:55
  Speaker 11: Of how great Aaron Hill was because Aaron Hill played
• 32:59
  Speaker 11: in the smoke era mostly, right?
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: That was our days in college.
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: He was the SEC player of the year. And then,
• 33:08
  Speaker 11: of course, three-year player from Texas. And then he went
• 33:11
  Speaker 11: on to have a great major league career, Silver Slugger
• 33:14
  Speaker 11: Award winner twice. I think he had six or seven
• 33:16
  Speaker 11: years where he had 100 or more hits. I mean,
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: he was a real big-time dude.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:20
  Speaker 11: He's working with Marucci over in Houston and still involved
• 33:23
  Speaker 11: in coaching baseball. And so also a couple of Northerners,
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: Lisa Ingram, who think about this, ULM in the Final
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: Four in women's basketball. I mean, that's how great she was.
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: She led them to the Final Four in women's basketball
• 33:36
  Speaker 11: in the mid-' 80s.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: She's tight with Kim Mulkey.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: Was a big part of the WNBA in its early
• 33:43
  Speaker 11: infancy and all that as well.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: And then Hank Tierney, the head football coach at Shaw. Legend.
• 33:49
  Speaker 11: Still coaching, 75 years old, fifth all-time in wins. I
• 33:53
  Speaker 11: think he's got 340 wins going into this year. He's
• 33:55
  Speaker 11: going to pass Don Shiles this year to fourth.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: West Monroe, legendary coach. Yeah, I mean, Coach T.J. Finley
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: at Ponchatoula, won there, went undefeated.
• 34:05
  Speaker 11: West Jeff coached, I think, Marlon Favre, I believe, at
• 34:09
  Speaker 11: West Jeff.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Hello, somebody. Yeah.
• 34:11
  Speaker 11: So, I mean, like a legendary and a wonderful guy,
• 34:13
  Speaker 11: Holy Cross graduate. So Hank Tierney going in. And then
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: Jim Wells, you know, up in your neck of the woods,
• 34:21
  Speaker 11: cut his teeth in Shreveport, went to Jesuit High School
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: in Loyola, prepped as the baseball coach. Funny story about
• 34:28
  Speaker 11: Jim Wells. He came to Baton Rouge as an assistant coach,
• 34:32
  Speaker 11: a guy by the name.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Of Boots Garland.
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Speed coach.
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: Everybody bought strength shoes from him back in the day.
• 34:38
  Speaker 11: Boots Garland got him the job with Skip Burtman.
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: And Boots Garland used to wear Skip.
• 34:42
  Speaker 11: Burtman out and say, you need to hire this guy.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: If you get a GA position, you need to hire
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: this guy. And he was on him for like a
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: couple of years.
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: And finally, Skip went, hey, Boots, listen, I finally hired
• 34:52
  Speaker 11: your guy, Jim Wells.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: And he was like, oh, great, great.
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: And Boots was friends with Jim Wells' dad and all
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: that stuff. So anyway, first day of practice, Wells is there.
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: Boots shows up at practice, and Skip goes, hey, Boots.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Come over here.
• 35:04
  Speaker 11: I want you to, you know, your guy's here. Your
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: guy's here. You know, first day, you know, I hired
• 35:08
  Speaker 11: your guy. And Boots Garland walks up to Jim Wells
• 35:11
  Speaker 11: and goes, hey, Boots Garland, nice to meet you. And
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: Skip goes, what the hell? What do you mean you
• 35:17
  Speaker 11: don't know each other? You've been telling me for two
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: years about I've got to hire this guy.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: He's great. He goes, oh, well, I know his dad.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: So Jim Wells got the job. Anybody in those boots
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: knows that that's a true story.
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: So he got the job as an assistant, became the
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: head coach at Northwestern State, turned around that program.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: It was absolutely nothing.
• 35:34
  Speaker 11: And, I mean, there's been so many great coaches that
• 35:36
  Speaker 11: have come from Northwestern State since, Dave Van Horn and others,
• 35:40
  Speaker 11: and then went to Alabama and built a powerhouse, went
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: to three College World Series. And, you know, if Roberto
• 35:45
  Speaker 11: Vaz doesn't step on a ball in 97 in a
• 35:47
  Speaker 11: batting cage in a regional, might beat LSU in the
• 35:49
  Speaker 11: national championship game because Roberto Vaz was him and Brandon
• 35:52
  Speaker 11: Larson were the two best players in the league that year.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: So great coach, good dude.
• 35:56
  Speaker 11: Retired young, retired early, and then coached high school baseball
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: in Tuscaloosa.
• 36:02
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Great class. Yeah, it is.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: It is a really good class. A lot of good
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: names there. As you mentioned, a lot of different sports
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: as well. So the process is not something that I
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: knew about. I mean, that's a lot of names. I'm
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: sitting here thinking, like, the names that are on that
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: 160 list that you're probably talking about.
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, what's the– You might have mentioned it, but like
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: the nomination process, you told us kind of the rules
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: and guidelines to be able to be nominated. But is
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: this like a, you know, I want to, I hereby
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: nominate type of situation?
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you can go to the website, LASportsHall.com. If you
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: go to LASportsHall.com and you click on Hall of Famers,
• 36:33
  Speaker 11: there's literally a yellow tab that says nominate a candidate,
• 36:36
  Speaker 11: gives you the instructions on what you need to do.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Um, you know, cause I get that all the time,
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: you know, Hey, my uncle, so-and-so he was great.
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: You know, he did this, you know, he should be
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: nominated and there's a process right now, just because you
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: go fill it all out and submit it doesn't mean
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: you automatically, you know, cause I had a guy said, well,
• 36:52
  Speaker 11: I hit two 90 at new Iberia high.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: School, you know, like I should be in there, you know.
• 36:56
  Speaker 11: Well, you know, but, um, but you know, no, that's the,
• 37:00
  Speaker 11: there's a process online at la sports hall.com. And then,
• 37:03
  Speaker 11: like I said, the gatekeepers kind of take those and,
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: and look, if it's even a close call kind of thing,
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: should they be really nominated or not, they'll usually nominate
• 37:13
  Speaker 11: you and see if you get any traction. See if
• 37:15
  Speaker 11: you can get some traction from sports writers and some support.
• 37:18
  Speaker 11: And after a couple years, if you really don't, then
• 37:20
  Speaker 11: you fall off.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 37:23
  Speaker 11: We'll see you later.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: 200 people and you can't get a vote. I mean,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: at some point, like give it.

• 37:44
  Speaker 3: It is a secretive ballot process.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: The voters are, you said, riders.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: You could nominate him. He could nominate you.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's things we could do, you know.
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: Let's see if we can get it.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Hey, you once told me it's an amalgamation of all
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: the things, high school, college, pros, and post-career.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: How old are you?
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: 41.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like, come on, guys. I mean, like,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: we got lots of time.

  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

  Speaker 3: We got lots of time. Look, I mean, you're going
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: to be doing this for another 30 years.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, no.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Or 20 or whatever.
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: He's got so much CTE. Yeah, he's got a lot.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: I gave it to the cause, man. So many hard spots. Yeah,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, we've got lots of time. We've got lots
• 38:22

  Speaker 11: Yeah, so the last weekend in June, which is actually

  Speaker 4: still give Terrio a lot of credit.
• 39:45
  Speaker 11: Well, I appreciate y'all having me, man, and hopefully maybe–
• 39:49
  Speaker 11: do the show or something from the, I don't know
• 39:51
  Speaker 11: if y'all ever go on the road, but I remember,
• 39:52
  Speaker 11: I know one year y'all came and did the radio
• 39:54
  Speaker 11: show from the celebrity event.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Did we do it from the bowling event? I think
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: it was me and Dixon. Was that what it was?
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: I think it was me. It was the year Les
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: got in.
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I believe so. Yeah. I saw his wife at Skip
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Burtman's funeral. She flew in. Oh, did she? Yeah. Yeah.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: Because of him being the athletic director too. Like, see,
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: that was like, We had Smoke as the baseball coach. Now,
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: I went to Skip Burtman camp, obviously, and knew the
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: legend of Skip. But we know him as an athletic director,
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: which is funny. That was our relationship. Would he speak
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: to you guys every year? At the team meetings or something?
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: He would, absolutely. But our seats on the plane for
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: away games, him and Miss Sandy were right in front
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: of us. And then it was me and Matt right
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: behind them. And he would always talk with us and
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: give us the good word.
• 40:38
  Speaker 11: He coached high school football at Miami Beach High in
• 40:40
  Speaker 11: the 60s.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: You don't think that we heard those stories? That's right. Oh,
