The Paulie & Tony Fusco Show: Aaron Torres has TERRIBLE TAKE on College Football Playoff, Aaron Donald deserves APOLOGY from Bengals · The Paulie & Tony Fusco Show

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Alright, alright, Cayo alive from Philly. It's the Polly and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Tony Foolsco show. Yo always Polly Fousco here with Tony
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Fusco and Tony Yo. Terrible developments out of the world
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: of college football, expanding the playoff and continuing to defecate
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: upon the proud sport and it's proud tradition. Uh, we're
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: gonna have college sports radio personality Aaron Torres, who have
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: never heard of until now you have heard of him. No,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I have no idea who that is. Well, he told
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: our producer that he doesn't like the playoff either, so
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: maybe he is a breaking or something. We'll find out whatever. Anyway,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: some quick business up top before we get to our
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: top story. Today's episode is sponsored by our friends at
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Zales Jewelers. Are you getting married, Nick, Zales Rulers your
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: go to with their thirty day refund policy? Isn't that right? Don't? Yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: you are already getting married, which is horrible. Don't make
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: it worse by not going to zails, zails if you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: can't afford a pre nup, zails. Okay, now that we
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: got that business out of the way, let's get into
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: our top story story huge changes coming to the sport
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of college football as it struggles to stay relevant. The
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: College Football Playoff announced that in the year it will
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: be expanding from four to twelve teams. And this is
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: another step in the wrong direction. You know, Tony and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I not only believe this is a bad idea. As
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you know, we have never supported the idea of a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: playoff in the first place. Isn't that right done? It's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: disgraceful they've thrown away to our tradition of the sport.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It made so much more sense when we let the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: champions be decided by the people who know best. Of course,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about coaches and old sportswriters. Do you really
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: think that the national championship can be decided on the field?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Now, you know the other problem with these
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: these playoffs. Every game is a blowout. There's no suspense.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You know, we looked up the stats before the show
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the average margin of victory in the playoffs. It's forty
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: nine points. It's pathetic. And you know, you know, don't
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: e when there was actually suspense? Yep, back in the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: late eighties, when you'll found out the college national champion
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: after the ball games by slowly opening up the newspaper
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: around eight am on Monday, depending to Section C and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: looking at the updated rankings. It did not get better
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: than nothing, Isn't that right? Yeah? And the best part
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: about that system is that sometimes they didn't even crown
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: an outright winner. You had ties, which means you've got
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: something even better than a national champion. You had two
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: national champions, which means more people could be happy. You know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I've always said, if we want to solve the political
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: problems in this country, why not have two presidents. That way,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you could be like, hey, I'm not listening to that guy,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to the other president. Food for thought.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Well said that, Dony, And Well, let's just move on
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: right now to another big story controversy in the world
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of pro football. You know, we addressed this last week,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: but there's a new development. Ram's defensive end Aaron Donald
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: swinging two helmets at Bengals players. Now there are people
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like Mike Boreo over at Pro Football Talk claiming that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: this was somehow assault and that Aaron Donald should be
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: suspect and did. Now in the midst of this fire storm,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is now refusing to apologize saying it was quote,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: just practice, and we one degree with Aaron Donald. Isn't
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that right? Though? Of course, doesn't anybody realize Aaron Donald
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: was doing the Bengals a huge favor. Practice is all
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: about preparation, and he was helping the Bengals prepare properly
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: for a f C North divisional games, where as we
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: all know, players routinely try to decapitate each other at
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: least two or three times a game. If anything, I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: think the Bengals should be thanking Aaron Donald absolutely. And
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you know this makes me concerned frankly about the people
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: running the Bengals and that coach, that coach they got there,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: who looks like he still hasn't hit puberty. You know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: if I was coaching that team and the player actually
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: came to me and complain about having a helmet swung
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: at him, you know what I'd say, I'd say, you cut,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: go play plaid football, you clown. Yeah, I got tull
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: words for you. Tull hand touch women. And you know, Tony,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: another thing that's just terrible about the story. You know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Mike Boreo and all these other idiots out there, they're
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: called by Aaron Donald to be suspended ridiculously for what
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you know. People always say preseason doesn't matter, right, Well,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: now suddenly it matters exactly. You have to choose one
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: or the other, don't your Tony. This is why they
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: say you can't have your cake and then let other
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: people eat your cake. If we start saying preseason matters,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: then what's next? Where does it stop? Are you gonna
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: make teams have a ninety three man roster? Are you
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: gonna make the Hall of Fame game, the super Bowl?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: It's a very slippery slope, and you have to be
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: very careful, well, said Tony. All around there. All right,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: let's move to another story. Final story from the NBA.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Uh Genie Buss the lake has owing. You know. She
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: was on a podcast this week and she said that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: last year, this is a quote, Russell Westbrook was the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Lakers best player. Now, after a social media fire, stoke erupted.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: She backtracked and said she meant to say most consistent.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: But Tony, there was no reason to backtrack at all.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Isn't that right? One percent? Anyone who knows anything about
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: basketball knows the most important stat of them all, which
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is games played. Russell Westbrook led the team with seventy
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: eight games played, while Lebron James only played in like
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: twenty three games because he's lazy. It's like the great
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Audie Allen said before everyone realized he was a weirdo.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: He said, one hundred percent of success is showing up.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: If you don't show up, how can you have success?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So perfectly said Tony. And you know, it's so easy
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to see why Genie Buss would say this about Russell Westbrook,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: because you watch him play, You'll see him in the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter so gased, so tired that he's barely able
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to run up and down the court. You know, he's
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: barely able to put two legs in front of each other.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You know, he's barely able to lift a basketball and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: then even shoot it remotely close to the basket. And
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you know that is when you know he's the best
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: player on the course. Isn't that totally obvious? Don'ty? Of course,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: this is a huge problem in society today, people thinking
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: we should celebrate people for working less. This is why
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I never understood when people say work smarter, not harder.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Don't you get smart by working harder? That should be
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: totally obvious. And you know, we see this problem in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: all of sports, don't we don'ty, you know, look no
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: further than the laziest athletes in the world. Of course,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of talking about Major League Baseball pitchers, how have we
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: come to accept that it's okay for a pitcher to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: pitch every four or five games. Imagine if you worked
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: in an office and you showed up once a week,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: your colleagues would hate you. That's why I can't understand
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: why we give pitches the Cy Young Award. You know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Cy Young used to pitch like two hundred games a year.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it make more sense to give them the I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: don't know, the Mitch Williams Award or something accurate like that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Great idea, Tony. And you know, I'd love to discuss
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: this more, but I see our guests coming on the line,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So let's find out who this guy is and will
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: bring him on the FUSCO satellite network. Alright, our guest
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: is what you'd call an up and comer in the industry.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: All right, you know, he's still got a long way
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to go, but he's trying. He's the host of the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: eron thres podcast, which I've admittedly never listened though, but
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you know, Yeah. He's also a host on Fox Sports
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Radio on weekends and late nights, you know, when nobody's listening. Anyway,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: let's just bring him on here, Aaron Dores, Welcome to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the show. You know, I've had a lot of introductions
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: in my illustrious career. That was definitely that was definitely
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: one of them, for sure, no doubt about it. I'll
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: take that as a compliment. Welcome. That's how you go it. Anyway.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You're told our producer before hand you you don't like
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the twelve team playoff, Like, we don't, all right, we
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: like where you're going with this, so tell us your
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: reasoning there. Well, um, I like the four team playoff,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and the main reason being we have yet no no, yeah,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: they're all blowouts. You're like watching You're like watching a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: fifty point blowout, you know, is that what you like?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: You like? You know, year old up, a four year old.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: That's when you like, we're gonna get more of that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: when we get twelve teams. We can't even get four
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: teams that you could pete for a championship. Correct answer
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: is to have no playoff? Yeah, yeah, go back. You
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: know you probably don't remember this because you look like
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you're seventeen years old old. But you know, in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: old days, nineties, eighties, ninety nineties, you used to wake
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: up and and you'd find out, are you still reading
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a newspaper over there, Joey? And you have some respect
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: for the people who the sports right foot you? Yeah?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Does the A P still exist? Is that's still a thing?
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: What are we doing here, big, Big? We're not going
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to settle it on the field. We're just gonna let
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: belly some party with who a hundred and twenty pound
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: sixty year old men who knew yeah better than anybody
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: generation your voice. We're not gonna settle it on the field.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: What's the heck? Okay? So we're just gonna see you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: keep interrupting me, Can you just can you not interrupt
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: them trying to tell you teach you son? Alright? Please?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: The way to answer it is you have experts in
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this business. They look, they look at the teams and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: they tell you who the three or four best teams are.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: That's all you need to know. You don't need the game.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Game tells you nothing exactly. The game tells you nothing really.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: So like when Georgia lost to Alabama and then they
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: came back and beat him that game? What what what
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: did that told us? Nothing? Yeah, because I wasn't watching
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: because I had tooomed out, Like I'm out now, you
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: better give me some better points. Here we are? We
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: are we going back to bowl games like we're playing

• 12:07

• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the point where I had never heard of him. Yeah,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Aaron Porrez more like Aaron Borez. Good one, Tony. Anyway,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: all right, we're not gonna thank him, but as we
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: wrapped the show here, we are going to thank our
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: terrific friends at Zales. You kidding me? If it's someone
• 12:29

• 12:54
  Speaker 1: so he's not exactly lazy. Oh yeah, well, for the record,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you average less than zero good ideas per episode. Yeah,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: we're gonna lay you on the ground, then drive a
