• 4:53
  with the off-season on its way? To a complete.
• 4:57
  Could Splat as the New York Mets trading off pieces and the
• 5:02
  Yankees not signing anybody, but that's a whole nother story.
• 5:04
  And that's why I said, because plot because it's not a word, it
• 5:08
  makes no sense. But that is why I said it
• 5:11
  because the Yankees and the Mets are falling in those areas.
• 5:15
  But anyways, uh, yeah, I want to wish everybody a Happy.

  Kwanzaa happy Hanukkah. Happy or Merry Christmas.

  you you love Christmas. If you love the Santa Claus
• 5:26
  movies or you love Rudolph. The Red-Nosed Reindeer or you're
• 5:30
  like Frosty the Snowman and he liked to plow things you know
• 5:34
  the snow if you know what I mean.
• 5:36
  Anyways yeah this is the time of year.
• 5:39
  Hopefully we get some snow. I'm hearing that kinetic kid is
• 5:42
  going to be hit with snow. Tonight might be hit with a
• 5:45
  couple of flurries tomorrow or the next day so maybe we'll have
• 5:48
  a white Christmas but yeah. So I don't know what's going on
• 5:52
  with over there, with job and Nebraska but I heard through the
• 5:56
  Fine. I want to give a shout out to
• 5:57
  Adam virant. The director of the Savannah
• 6:01
  bananas. I was speaking to him today and
• 6:03
  he was telling me that it's 55 degrees in Nebraska right now.
• 6:07
  So it's like beautiful weather. It's like spring weather over
• 6:10
  there, so job is enjoying himself and, and I'm here with
• 6:14
  my enjoyment. I love the cold.
• 6:16
  I love putting on the nice jackets.
• 6:17
  I don't like it. When it gets frisky out, like,
• 6:20
  it's like, just I it's just so it gets windy and cold.
• 6:26
  You get that chill. I don't like that kind of
• 6:28
  weather but As the winter comes along, you like the snow.
• 6:33
  I don't like the cold rain, but you like that opportunity to
• 6:37
  experience going to a football game which I was if Kansas City.
• 6:41
  If the chiefs made it to the playoffs, this year, I was
• 6:45
  definitely going to a Kansas City Chiefs game, a playoff
• 6:48
  game, me and Wes were talking about it.
• 6:51
  Over the last couple of weeks and I I told him if Kansas City
• 6:55
  makes it to the playoffs this year I'm in.
• 6:57
  I'm in like Flynn all the way to Kansas City.
• 7:01
  I've got some time I would have enjoyed my time over there in
• 7:05
  Kansas City go check out the bars and even though I don't
• 7:08
  drink ladies and gentlemen, I like to go and check out and
• 7:11
  site see all the beautiful places maybe go check out Travis
• 7:14
  Kelce and yeah, Patrick Mahomes Steakhouse, which is very, very
• 7:19
  expensive and we'll get into something Travis Kelce said over
• 7:24
  the weekend, that makes you shake your head a little bit
• 7:27
  later in the show. I I'm really wondering if he's
• 7:30
  been hit too many times to the head or his brain trauma because
• 7:33
  he actually believes this. But nevertheless and there was
• 7:37
  other people, there were other radio shows that said that
• 7:39
  Travis Kelce and tell us Swift might be pregnant.
• 7:41
  So very interesting story, so maybe Travi might be gone.
• 7:46
  He at the end of the season at 8:45.
• 7:49
  We'll be. We will be talking to former
• 7:51
  Braves Cubs pitcher, Daniel Winkler.
• 7:54
  I love that list named, you know, I don't know.
• 7:58
  Well, like winky dinky or, you know, any one of those I maybe
• 8:01
  we'll, we'll give him a nickname a little bit later in a show,
• 8:03
  but Daniel Winkler will be joining us.
• 8:04
  He pitched from 2015 to 2019 with the Braves from 2020 and
• 8:10
  2021 with the Cubs. So he's done with his baseball
• 8:14
  career. We'll see what he's doing
• 8:15
  offset. We'll get into what the Braves
• 8:17
  should be doing this off season. They made some pretty decent
• 8:21
  signings. They signed the shortstop.
• 8:23
  So I'd love to hear his take on that and the Cubs.
• 8:26
  There's a lot like the Cubs should be doing this off season
• 8:29
  their owners like to spend some money.
• 8:32
  And they definitely spent a lot of money a couple years ago with
• 8:35
  their manager. And it has worked out so far.
• 8:38
  So I can't, I can't take shots at as far as I'm concerned with
• 8:41
  the Cubs and what they've done over the last two or three
• 8:44
  seasons, they play pretty good baseball.
• 8:45
  And we'll see what they do. What Kyle Tucker, the worst
• 8:48
  stories coming out that the Cubs were going to get.
• 8:51
  You know dive deep into the offseason with Kyle Tucker, I
• 8:54
  make sure that they'll do whatever it takes to bring them
• 8:57
  back and overpay him. So so far Kyle Tucker is not
• 9:00
  signed, he's not anywhere. Where does Kyle Tucker go?
• 9:04
  Does he go to the Mets? Does he go to the Yankees?
• 9:05
  Does he go to the Cubs or does he sign over there with the
• 9:08
  Deferred Dodgers as we've seen over the last couple of months
• 9:13
  or years of just disgrace news. And I, I say disgrace news
• 9:18
  because I just can't take what is going on right now with the
• 9:23
  LA Dodgers and I can't stand them but a lot to get into
• 9:27
  today. So let's get into it and Java
• 9:29
  will be joining us a little bit later.
• 9:30
  So I want to give a shout out to the old chamber.
• 9:33
  His son, he has like, I guess they called his rap day or gift
• 9:38
  day where they're wrapping up their gifts together as a
• 9:40
  family. So it's special day for him and
• 9:43
  his family. So I want to give a shout out to
• 9:45
  the Chamberlain family. I know cart is going back to
• 9:48
  college, so I know he wants to spend some time with his son.
• 9:52
  So shout out to the Chamberlain family.
• 9:55
  On sunday, Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers beat Dan
• 9:59
  Campbell's, Detroit Lions, 29 to 24.
• 10:03
  With help of controversial calls, at the end of the game,
• 10:08
  this loss drops the lines to eight and seven on the year,
• 10:11
  which they're only way into the playoffs, is winning.
• 10:16
  Their last two games and the Packers losing both of their
• 10:21
  last two games, the Steelers on the other hand are now, nine and
• 10:26
  six would clinch the AFC North next week if they win or the
• 10:32
  Ravens lose. So very interesting at the end
• 10:36
  of the game with Jared Goff driving the Lions into the Red
• 10:40
  Zone a crazy play where Saint Brown caught the ball short of
• 10:45
  the goal, line pitched, it back to golf who scored the apparent
• 10:50
  game-winning touchdown. Unfortunately, for the Lions,
• 10:53
  the play was called back on, what appeared to be a
• 10:57
  questionable passing interference call on Saint
• 11:01
  Brown. In a back-and-forth battle, the
• 11:05
  Panthers beat the Buccaneers 23 to 20 to take a one game lead in
• 11:11
  the NFC South, the Panthers play at home.
• 11:14
  Next week versus the Seattle Seahawks while the Buccaneers
• 11:19
  play on the road against the Dolphins.
• 11:21
  Oh, what an interesting game that will be a late interception
• 11:25
  by Baker, Mayfield as the Box were entering the field, goal,
• 11:30
  range ending ended the Bucks hopes as now, they know, they no
• 11:36
  longer control their own destiny.
• 11:38
  If the Panthers win and the Bucks lose next week, the
• 11:42
  Panthers clinch, the NFC South. If the Panthers don't win, both
• 11:47
  teams will meet again in week 18, in Tampa with the division
• 11:53
  and playoff spot on the line in a winner-take-all rematch.
• 11:58
  First, I want to get into the Panthers and Lions game.
• 12:06
  The Pittsburgh Steelers. All season long have been back
• 12:10
  and forth. You wonder what type of team
• 12:12
  this is going to be DK Metcalf has been actually very good for
• 12:17
  the Pittsburgh Steelers. Who is going to be suspended for
• 12:20
  the next two games. We will get a little bit, we'll
• 12:22
  get into that a little bit later but that's a whole nother story
• 12:25
  but Aaron Rodgers. Played one of those games that
• 12:30
  you would expect Aaron Rodgers to play.
• 12:32
  Now, was he substantially since since Sensational.
• 12:36
  Was he unbelievable on Sunday? No, he was not.
• 12:41
  But Aaron Rodgers did what he needed to do to keep his team in
• 12:44
  the game. And Aaron Rodgers did what he
• 12:45
  needed to do, even being hurt. To get his team into the
• 12:50
  playoffs. Now Pittsburgh is definitely
• 12:53
  going to clinch a playoff spot. There's no way in hell they're
• 12:57
  not making the playoffs now and they should win the division.
• 13:01
  If they if the Ravens lose next week and Pittsburgh wins, they
• 13:04
  should win the division. But are these Pittsburgh
• 13:09
  Steelers. Good enough to make a run all
• 13:12
  the way to a Super Bowl this year and the answer would
• 13:15
  probably be no. TJ watt is not 100% healthy.
• 13:19
  As we all know what happened to him.
• 13:21
  A couple of weeks ago with the long situation, he had surgery I
• 13:26
  don't know it. Did he play this week?
• 13:28
  I don't think he did know. He didn't play.
• 13:29
  He has the same thing that Justin Herbert had back in 2020.
• 13:32
  Okay, so he'll probably be back sometime in the playoffs.
• 13:35
  If they go further into the players.
• 13:37
  I don't know if he's back in week one.
• 13:39
  We all know they're not going to have a bye week because they're
• 13:43
  not one of the better teams in the AFC, but they've played good
• 13:46
  enough. To make the playoffs.
• 13:49
  They've had a pretty good running game this year.
• 13:51
  With Warren and obviously gain well gain, well has been
• 13:54
  impressive. The addition of gain well, and
• 13:58
  if anybody doesn't know gain, well came from the Philadelphia
• 14:02
  Eagles and was like a third of fourth string on the Eagles
• 14:06
  depth chart. But ever since he's been with
• 14:08
  the Pittsburgh Steelers slowly, but surely he's been built or
• 14:11
  been added to this offense, and they've been a completely
• 14:15
  different team when they've used them as a wide receiver or even
• 14:19
  a running back slot type of running back that can do so many
• 14:24
  things in the back field and the open field gain, well has been
• 14:27
  very impressive. They're offensive lines been
• 14:30
  very impressive to all season long.
• 14:32
  They've been fairly better than I expected them to be and when
• 14:36
  they got healthy with high Smith and the additions that they've
• 14:41
  added in the off-season in the draft and Porter.
• 14:44
  Porter Jr. Has been since Sensational too
• 14:46
  playing against some of the League's best wide receivers.
• 14:50
  This defense is played substantially better than what
• 14:54
  they had played in the first half of the season.
• 14:57
  I remembering game number one, Pittsburgh, almost lost.
• 15:00
  It gets to New York Jets. They made a lot of mistakes that
• 15:03
  Jets obviously have only won three games this year.
• 15:05
  They're not offensively sound. And honestly, there were a
• 15:09
  couple of games, Pittsburgh should have lost this year
• 15:13
  because the games were so very close and they were playing
• 15:16
  teams that were practically handing the Pittsburgh Steelers
• 15:19
  the game. And at Pittsburgh and Aaron
• 15:24
  Rodgers. If they want to make a run this
• 15:25
  year and we don't know what what's going to happen to Mike.
• 15:27
  Tomlin is Mike Tomlin going to decide after the season.
• 15:30
  Is he gonna move on? Is he gonna retire?
• 15:33
  Is he gonna step down from Pittsburgh?
• 15:34
  Does he take another job? Who knows does Pittsburgh decide
• 15:38
  that they've gone as far as they can with my Tomlin, my Tomlin
• 15:42
  has gone to eight consecutive playoff runs eight.
• 15:48
  And I've been eliminated in the first round all eight times.
• 15:52
  And that is alarming when you have our Rogers who wants to
• 15:56
  make that final run. Maybe when his second Super Bowl
• 15:59
  and right off into the sunset like Peyton Manning did Peyton
• 16:03
  Manning could never get over the hump.
• 16:05
  He can never win that. Second Super Bowl.
• 16:08
  He went to the Bronco's, he had one of those great Seasons.
• 16:11
  Obviously one of the greatest Seasons we've ever seen a
• 16:14
  quarterback have and then slowly, but surely the neck
• 16:18
  injury started to Come back and his back injuries.
• 16:22
  And then, finally, the Broncos became an old world defensive
• 16:26
  team. With Von Miller and the talent
• 16:29
  that they had, and they went on that run.
• 16:32
  And eventually want to Super Bowl and then Peyton Manning
• 16:35
  after that. Super Bowl.
• 16:35
  And remember, Peyton Manning was not the starting quarterback all
• 16:39
  season. He took over at the tail end of
• 16:42
  the season last two games of the season, and then went on that.
• 16:45
  Run was Peyton Manning. Great know.
• 16:47
  Now, Aaron Rodgers is much better than Peyton.
• 16:50
  Manning was at that time. Now the question is is Aaron
• 16:55
  Rodgers going to be able to be the old Aaron Rodgers when he's
• 16:58
  playing against some of those Elite teams in the AFC.
• 17:01
  Now, this might be the most Open Season we've seen the AFC Has
• 17:07
  been. Now I know you look at New
• 17:10
  England and you look at Drake Maye and look at some of the
• 17:12
  talent that they have over there.
• 17:14
  They don't have a number one wide receiver, I don't want to
• 17:16
  hear that stuff on takes his number one wide receiver.
• 17:18
  He's more he's more of a number two, anywhere else.
• 17:21
  He'd be a number two with good wide receiver with a good wife,
• 17:24
  receiving Court, even with the Jets he'd be an opportune.
• 17:27
  He is not a number one anymore. But they have a great running
• 17:32
  game with Henderson. And and some of the the veteran
• 17:36
  players that they have over there, they're offensive line is
• 17:39
  much better than it has been fray's going to be up for coach
• 17:42
  of the year. They the way they run their
• 17:45
  offense is that old style Bill Belichick, go offends as we all
• 17:49
  know who is there. Running the offensive side of
• 17:52
  the ball. This is Pittsburgh, Steeler
• 17:56
  team. That might have.
• 17:59
  The easiest opportunity to go all the way in an AFC that's so
• 18:04
  wide open. You look at obviously the
• 18:08
  charges, I love Jim Harbaugh, am I really warned about the
• 18:11
  charges? The charges have more injuries
• 18:13
  than anybody did in the AFC, they're offensive line are
• 18:16
  pretty much second or third Dairy players, they lost Slater
• 18:20
  they lost all for pieces of the Season Johnson's been out.
• 18:25
  Mekhi becton has been out their whole offensive line, hasn't
• 18:28
  been healthy all season long but found a way to win.
• 18:31
  They're running game, hasn't been healthy all season long.
• 18:34
  They brought guys from the Scrapy to be their starting
• 18:37
  running backs. But for some reason, Justin
• 18:42
  Herbert with a broken wrist, a broken hand is still going out
• 18:45
  there making the throws keeping his team in the game.
• 18:48
  And you have guys like Keenan Allen who has been Really it was
• 18:53
  like turn back the clock in the beginning half of the Season he
• 18:57
  was on believable second half he hasn't been as good.
• 18:59
  But you're you're seeing the difference of the way they're
• 19:03
  going to run their offense and you can see that Jim Harbaugh is
• 19:06
  a winner. He knows how to win these games.
• 19:10
  And that's why the Chargers are dangerous, not because of the
• 19:13
  talent and what they have on their roster right now because
• 19:15
  they're injury-prone. It's because it's Jim Harbaugh
• 19:18
  and the way he calls games and their defensive coordinator,
• 19:22
  which is probably going to be up for a coaching job at the end of
• 19:25
  the season. But you again, the Buffalo Bills
• 19:30
  to me. Has the biggest opportunity and
• 19:33
  any of these teams. And one of the main reasons why
• 19:35
  is because the AFC has a lack of depth, And that's why we go back
• 19:42
  to the Pittsburgh Steelers. And we look at what happened on
• 19:45
  Sunday for the Detroit Lions Alliance team that was fighting
• 19:49
  for their playoff lives. You have the Green Bay Packers
• 19:53
  You have the Chicago Bears that made that unbelievable comeback.
• 20:00
  On Saturday. and you, you wonder Was losing our and Glenn.
• 20:08
  And was losing Ben Johnson. The reason why.
• 20:13
  This Detroit team might not make the playoffs this year and
• 20:16
  probably won't make the playoffs this year.
• 20:18
  It's not the lack of talent. I think this team has a
• 20:21
  tremendous amount of talent, Jimmy or Gibbs is a star
• 20:24
  Montgomery. I don't know if it's contracts
• 20:27
  up this off season, but don't be a lot of teams.
• 20:29
  Looking for Veteran running back.
• 20:31
  He could be up for grabs in the off-season if a team needs a
• 20:34
  veteran, They've got a great wide receiving Corps Williams is
• 20:38
  kind of fallen out. of the team offense, but he's a definitely a
• 20:46
  dangerous player. And we all know what saint Brown
• 20:49
  isn't and we saw a couple of good tight ends on Sunday.
• 20:54
  Berkshire played a big part in the offensive side of the ball.
• 20:57
  You could see that. The way they were running their
• 21:01
  offense, they were running their offense through him early in the
• 21:04
  game and then when Pittsburgh was figuring things out, they in
• 21:07
  the fourth quarter, they started to use Jimmy or Gibbs, they
• 21:10
  started to use their running backs in the open field and if
• 21:13
  they started to use that early in the third quarter, I think
• 21:18
  Detroit wins the game. I thought there were a lot of
• 21:20
  mistakes that Detroit made Dan Campbell made a couple of
• 21:24
  judgment calls forth down early in the game and you're on the
• 21:29
  five yard line of four yard line of the Pittsburgh Steelers and
• 21:32
  you decide to go for it when you should have just kick the field
• 21:34
  goal. If you kick the field goal,
• 21:36
  obviously you're still down but maybe you would make you change
• 21:40
  your mind on going for it with Jared Goff at the end of the
• 21:44
  game and the questionable game. Where was a passing
• 21:46
  interference? They kicked the ball and they
• 21:48
  win the game. Maybe that changes that
• 21:51
  everything. It changes the whole outlook of
• 21:53
  the game. If they went with the field goal
• 21:55
  kick in the early first quarter. There was just a lot of mistakes
• 22:00
  or it wasn't a first or second, but it was early in the game.
• 22:02
  There was a lot of mistakes that Dan Campbell made.
• 22:05
  Now, Dan Campbell was coach of the year.
• 22:07
  Last year, I'm not going to press and and have Dan
• 22:11
  Campbell's head because they lost and they might miss the
• 22:13
  playoffs. But you question, where is this
• 22:17
  team heading? Losing like I said, Aaron Glenn
• 22:21
  to the Jets and Ben Johnson Chicago.
• 22:22
  Right now, Chicago has a chance to go for a Super Bowl this year
• 22:26
  in the same division. And they're making a run for
• 22:30
  themselves and they're showing why I believe Caleb Williams is
• 22:33
  going to be a star player in this league for many, many years
• 22:36
  to come. He only needed was the right
• 22:38
  coach there, that was going to make the right play calling and
• 22:40
  and put him in the right position succeed and you his
• 22:43
  strengths and try to correct his weaknesses.
• 22:48
  Dan Campbell. Is really fallen off when it
• 22:52
  came to the Lions this year and certain aspects of the game.
• 22:55
  And again, Dan Campbell's, not going to change the way.
• 22:58
  He plays the camera, calls the game, coaches, don't do that,
• 23:01
  they do it the same way, they've done it from the beginning.
• 23:04
  They don't like to change things around because it throws them
• 23:07
  off. It, throws the momentum, throws
• 23:08
  the tempo of the game. But you have to worry that Dan
• 23:13
  Campbell when making the play calls and putting himself In
• 23:16
  Harm's Way and putting himself in the position to make calls.
• 23:19
  That could be, could be very costly to the team and the
• 23:23
  organization making a run into the playoffs.
• 23:26
  Then you got to worry, you got to worry.
• 23:28
  If Dan Campbell is putting his team in the right position to
• 23:32
  succeed and I and I'm not gonna say anything about Dan Campbell
• 23:35
  because I like Dan Campbell. I know fish likes Dan Campbell.
• 23:37
  I know you like Dan Campbell Speedy.
• 23:39
  Everybody likes Dan Campbell so you he's not nobody has his his
• 23:44
  his neck on the line. His head's, not going anywhere.
• 23:47
  He will be there next year. But what happens if this thing
• 23:50
  the same thing happens next year, what happens in an NFC
• 23:54
  North, that's wide open. We don't know what Minnesota is
• 23:56
  going to be next year, but they should be better O'Connor.
• 23:59
  We don't know if JJ McCarthy. He's going to be there as he's
• 24:01
  gonna have a veteran quarterback playing or trying to win the job
• 24:04
  or take the job from a woman. Maybe they draft another
• 24:06
  quarterback. Who knows what O'Connell's going
• 24:09
  to do in the offseason. What we do know is Green Bay is
• 24:12
  going to be better next year. because they'll have Michael
• 24:15
  Parsons back sometime next year and why it I expect the Bears,
• 24:20
  they have a lot of money, they can use some of that money next
• 24:22
  year and get better. They have a tremendous amount of
• 24:24
  draft stock. So you're wondering it is this
• 24:28
  the last of these runs that we're going to see the lines,
• 24:31
  and this is Alliance team that was one of the best in the NFC
• 24:35
  for what? Five years, four years.
• 24:38
  And now you have a window with the NFL, you have a window, and
• 24:42
  once the window closes, it's very hard to get back on track
• 24:47
  and, and that usually means the coach is going to be let go or
• 24:50
  they're gonna fire defensive or offensive coordinators or
• 24:53
  they're gonna move away from their quarterback.
• 24:55
  Who knows, now Jared Goff still had a very good season, was he,
• 24:59
  as good as he was last year with Ben Johnson?
• 25:02
  The answer would be no. he wouldn't be and he hasn't, he
• 25:06
  hasn't been maybe because of injury maybe because he
• 25:09
  offensive line is not the same maybe because they're Center
• 25:12
  retired in the offseason, who knows?
• 25:16
  But the lions are not the same team.
• 25:18
  They were last year and it could only get worse, moving forward.
• 25:23
  as far as the Panthers in the Buccaneers, the Panthers have
• 25:27
  been the most impressive. Team, this whole season, the
• 25:32
  growth of Canales. And the Bryce, young Bryce young
• 25:37
  has not been the number one. Star picked that everybody
• 25:40
  thought he was going to be from Alabama.
• 25:43
  Nobody and remember. Carolina moved up to get him.
• 25:49
  And maybe some people would still think that it was a
• 25:51
  mistake that they went all in on Brian Sean.
• 25:54
  But slowly, but surely ever since they've added McMillan and
• 25:58
  they've added pieces in the offseason, cannalysis had his
• 26:02
  run and fixing the offensive line.
• 26:04
  They edit a running back. That's become a star.
• 26:07
  Thank you to the Cowboys. This Panther team is completely
• 26:13
  different than they have been over the last three years.
• 26:19
  And that has a lot to do with coaching because there was a
• 26:23
  coach there for less than a year who was successful as an offense
• 26:28
  of coin are that was a part of Super Bowl champions as a
• 26:31
  coordinator. But couldn't get over the hump,
• 26:36
  couldn't really get the Carolina Panthers to play his style of
• 26:40
  football, and that's why I can Alice's there.
• 26:44
  Another buck. And here's guy another Todd
• 26:47
  Bowles guy think about it. Look at what the Jacksonville
• 26:50
  Jaguars are doing right now in the second half without Travis
• 26:53
  Hunter aka the gremlin. Travis Hunter.
• 26:57
  I mean, Travis trout, Trevor. Lawrence is having one of those
• 27:01
  years that it kind of brightened or opens up your eyes.
• 27:04
  Is this kid going to start to transition into that star
• 27:08
  quarterback? That everybody thought he was
• 27:10
  going to be and that has something to do with Cohen.
• 27:12
  Another Buccaneers coordinator. I looked at the bucks right now.
• 27:22
  I don't know what they are. I don't I love Mike Evans.
• 27:28
  I love when he plays. I love his his length.
• 27:31
  I love his his, you know, the way he plays the game, he
• 27:35
  played, he goes up there for the ball, he plays like a basketball
• 27:38
  player, he doesn't, he's not afraid of anything.
• 27:41
  He goes up there and he makes every single play.
• 27:43
  You throw the ball up to Mike Evans.
• 27:45
  More than likely. He's coming down with it.
• 27:49
  And that bucco is been since Sensational at one point was
• 27:53
  offensive. Rookie of the year has kind of
• 27:55
  taking two steps back ever since Mike Evans is come back.
• 28:01
  But here's the problem right now, with the Bucs and I've said
• 28:04
  this over and over and over again and I'll say it again.
• 28:07
  Bucky Irving has finally come back.
• 28:11
  He's come back. He should be touching the ball a
• 28:15
  lot more times than he has, they should be running the ball.
• 28:18
  Running the ball, punching it right inside and then opening up
• 28:23
  the field for Mike Evans and some of the weapons that they
• 28:26
  have over there. And they're not.
• 28:28
  And now teams are starting to figure Baker Mayfield out.
• 28:31
  He holds the ball too long, he steps into the pocket.
• 28:35
  And then he usually, I don't know if anybody watches Baker,
• 28:38
  Mayfield, he runs to the right side.
• 28:39
  If you watch film and I know fish does and I watch Baker, may
• 28:44
  feel like I love Baker. Baker Mayfield does not really
• 28:48
  run to his left side. He runs to his right.
• 28:51
  And when he does that, he puts himself In Harm's Way because
• 28:54
  teams are ready. Know, probably 65% of the time.
• 28:57
  If Baker moves outside of the pocket, he's running right?
• 29:02
  And that's the same thing in basketball.
• 29:05
  If you're a predominantly going right?
• 29:07
  As a point guard, what a teams going to do, they're going to
• 29:10
  defend to the right? And force should go left.
• 29:13
  So what are teams doing right now in the NFL Baker knows they
• 29:17
  know he's going to go, right? So what is he doing?
• 29:20
  He's going left and teams are reading him on certain plays or
• 29:24
  he's making the running back. Run to the left side, Bucky
• 29:28
  Irvin go to the left and and they're using all these plays,
• 29:32
  and they're trying to, you know, change up Waze the way, Todd
• 29:36
  balls, likes to call things and and make things happen in the
• 29:39
  open field. Now that Mike Evans is back and
• 29:41
  they're offenses back to a full strength, and it just doesn't
• 29:45
  work like that in the NFL. And and I'm gonna tell you this
• 29:48
  about the Carolina Panthers horn has been healthy this year.
• 29:52
  He's been one of the best corners in the league and
• 29:54
  everybody expected this kid to develop into the one of those
• 29:57
  players, but he couldn't stay healthy.
• 29:58
  And now, All season long, he's been fairly healthy.
• 30:03
  This is probably one of the healthiest Seasons.
• 30:04
  We've seen horn bit has been and you could see the difference in
• 30:08
  this defense. The secondary is much better
• 30:10
  this year. Their front seven has been
• 30:12
  putting pressure on quarterbacks all season long and making teams
• 30:16
  become one-dimensional. Go ask to Dallas Cowboys, when
• 30:19
  they beat to Dallas Cowboys, If when you watch teams run their
• 30:25
  offense is and then they start to transition their defenses, as
• 30:29
  the season moves forward, and you see that the coach actually
• 30:32
  knows what he's doing, the way Canales has really run his
• 30:36
  office and canelo's Baker, Mayfield.
• 30:39
  He coached him. Baker Mayfield chances
• 30:42
  transition into a good quarterback when he came to the
• 30:45
  Buccaneers and we can Alice was his coach was his offensive
• 30:49
  coordinator for two years. The only reason why Canal is has
• 30:54
  a job right now is because of the way Baker, Mayfield became a
• 30:58
  number one, quarterback on a roster.
• 31:02
  So can Alice should Pat himself on the back and canals right now
• 31:06
  should be patting himself on the back.
• 31:07
  The way Bryce young is playing because I do not believe Bryce
• 31:11
  young will be in Elite quote about.
• 31:12
  I don't think he'll ever be a top 10 quarterback but if you
• 31:15
  could get Bryce young in the top 15 top 12 you can win with a
• 31:20
  running back like that. I mean you can win with a
• 31:22
  quarterback like that. If you have a good running game
• 31:25
  he got a good offensive line and you can play defense.
• 31:29
  And Carolina does all those things very well.
• 31:33
  And that right? That's the reason why I write
• 31:35
  now the Buccaneers all season long was Everybody believed
• 31:40
  especially the experts and all the bedding.
• 31:42
  People the betting man, Vegas. Everybody thought That the
• 31:47
  fucking years were going to win the NFC South.
• 31:51
  And now they're falling out of the NFC South.
• 31:54
  And the only way they win is if certain things happen.
• 31:57
  Now, because now the Bucks, I mean now the Carolina Panthers
• 32:01
  are in the driver's seat if they went out their games and they
• 32:04
  beat the Bucks, actually, if they If they win out their next
• 32:10
  game and lose against the Bucks in the final game, I think
• 32:13
  Carolina wins, I think Caroline makes the playoffs and the Bucks
• 32:17
  fall full short. It's, it's been incredible.
• 32:21
  Run for Canales. He should be up for coaching
• 32:24
  here, but there's so many good coaches.
• 32:25
  This year is the NFC. Look at McDonald's in Seattle,
• 32:28
  they've been on unbelievable. Mcveigh's been very good.
• 32:33
  I mean there are a lot of teams. How about the Bears, Ben
• 32:35
  Johnson? He's had a great year.
• 32:37
  And then there's the AFC. It there's just it's wide open
• 32:42
  for is definitely gonna be up for coach of the year.
• 32:44
  The Cohen gonna be in there too Cohen with the Jaguars.
• 32:47
  They could win their division this year, after going up and,
• 32:51
  you know, they've been up and down all season long, Travis
• 32:53
  Hunter goes down and then everything changes for them.
• 32:56
  Could you could you imagine that your number one, pick your first
• 33:01
  pick? Will you moved up from 5 to 2?
• 33:03
  Gave up a boatload of draft stock.
• 33:05
  You thought this guy was going to be an everyday wide receiver
• 33:09
  and half of a corner was gonna give you that that that
• 33:12
  potential slot defensive corner that could be a shutdown slot
• 33:16
  corner, and he goes down early in the season.
• 33:19
  Only had one. 200 yards and one touchdown.
• 33:21
  All season long, he played like almost 10 games in the guy.
• 33:25
  Couldn't buy a touchdown. He goes down and then they start
• 33:29
  winning and now they could win the division, who would have
• 33:32
  thought? What, what a cool Winky Dink.
• 33:34
  What a coinky-dink? Yeah, it's one of those teams.
• 33:37
  When you look at a lot of the young players transitioning, all
• 33:39
  at once, with a young coach and Jacksonville was a good example
• 33:42
  of that. And I think you're seeing a lot
• 33:43
  of that same kind of thing. From the Panthers, this draft
• 33:45
  class for the Panthers, which a lot of our draft guys was
• 33:47
  calling one of the best draft classes has really been even
• 33:49
  ahead of schedule, especially for their defensive standard and
• 33:51
  for their offensive line, which was the two question marks I had
• 33:54
  with them. Coming into the year.
• 33:54
  I really liked him the year before I was one that I believe
• 33:57
  Bryce. Young was always gonna be a
• 33:58
  great quarterback and he hasn't really been that.
• 34:00
  But now at least he's a capable starter, like he had some really
• 34:03
  bad games since they got swept by the Saints and they've lost
• 34:05
  some other bad teams this year. So it's never to be get to the
• 34:07
  full potential with him. But the offensive lines there,
• 34:10
  the defense is there to that level.
• 34:13
  You can make a difference, it can make a difference for you
• 34:15
  when you have all the offensive skill players already there and
• 34:18
  then you look at a case of Dave Canal.
• 34:20
  It's like you're saying growing the quarterback and growing the
• 34:22
  offensive Concepts in this game. Rico dowdle was one of the worst
• 34:25
  efficient running backs last year.
• 34:27
  And even in the beginning of the season was not great.
• 34:30
  Chuba Hubbard goes down and he starts playing well, these
• 34:32
  receivers are really been a revolving door of youngsters
• 34:35
  with Coker and Legette and now McMillan like this is not like
• 34:38
  an overly talented team but they've made that kind of thing
• 34:41
  work as far as the fucking years.
• 34:42
  Yeah, I think there are them in the lines are very similar like
• 34:45
  they both had offensive line injuries that they've never been
• 34:47
  able to recover from yet. Detroit specialty, the Jared
• 34:51
  goth is biggest weakness in his career has been interior
• 34:53
  pressure. And so what the Rams, the
• 34:56
  Patriots exposure that in the Super Bowl when they were
• 34:58
  bringing all this interior pressure and now, the Lions
• 35:00
  losing rag. Now losing Tate Rattlers.
• 35:02
  Their star offense alignment was a rookie.
• 35:04
  This year played very well. Zeitler they lost.
• 35:06
  Like there's a lot of guys that it's really affected.
• 35:09
  Everybody has injuries at this time of year, nobody's 100%
• 35:12
  healthy. So there's no excuse for any of
• 35:15
  these teams. I don't want to hear it.
• 35:16
  I mean, the Eagles haven't been healthy.
• 35:19
  All season long. Are they crying all the way into
• 35:21
  the playoffs know? They haven't played well.
• 35:23
  Now, the Eagles could change everything.
• 35:25
  If they make a run and they go all the way to the Super Bowl
• 35:27
  where everybody is, counted them out, because AJ Brown doesn't
• 35:30
  like Jalen hurts and, and coat. The coaching staff don't like
• 35:33
  each other, and, and the offense, and the defense can't
• 35:36
  stand each other on one side of the locker room.
• 35:38
  I mean, this happens all the time, you got to go out there
• 35:41
  and play the game and and I have to give canals a lot of credit
• 35:44
  because he took over a team where the coaching staff was
• 35:48
  practically fired before the season ended and then they they
• 35:52
  were going into the office in what two years ago wondering who
• 35:55
  you gonna bring in? Now you brought in an offensive
• 35:58
  guy. That was very well known in the
• 36:01
  NFL was a good offensive. Coin are that really couldn't
• 36:04
  finish the season and they had to use your your coordinators to
• 36:09
  take over at the end of the season and then you went in, you
• 36:11
  went and you bring a rookie coach.
• 36:13
  Where a lot of people were questioning, is this guy going
• 36:15
  to help that remember Bryce young was not his guy.
• 36:19
  Bryce young was not drafted by Dave Canales.
• 36:22
  He took this job knowing that he was going to have to figure
• 36:25
  Bryce young out and figure out how he could get him to play
• 36:29
  pretty decent football where he could get him playing at a level
• 36:34
  where he can win with. And I got to give Dave Canal, a
• 36:36
  lot of credit because I didn't think anybody could take over
• 36:39
  for a guy like Bryce young who was already coming into League
• 36:43
  two small, his hands. They were saying, how does he
• 36:46
  look over the offensive line? I mean, he didn't have, he
• 36:50
  didn't have a very good strong arm, they just thought that he
• 36:52
  was consistent and he played for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
• 36:55
  Like we seen so many quarterbacks come from Alabama
• 36:58
  and fell. When they come into the NFL.
• 37:01
  The other thing that I Think Mutual with both the Bucs and
• 37:03
  the Lions. Why they've been struggling the
• 37:04
  midst of these these injuries too?
• 37:06
  Is these exactly what we were saying.
• 37:07
  Like, they've lost so many assisting coaches and I think
• 37:10
  the schemes a little different. When I seems like the Lions,
• 37:12
  when you take out Gibbs to an extent, they have not been the
• 37:15
  same team and the Bucks I think in the second half of the
• 37:17
  season. When they've taken out when
• 37:18
  teams have taken, Out a Booka. Then they have been the same
• 37:21
  either because God wants to recovering Evans has been up and
• 37:23
  down with injuries in his own. Right?
• 37:24
  Like you said, Bucky Irving really hasn't gotten back in a
• 37:26
  full form besides one game so far this year and I don't think
• 37:29
  these other coaches have been able to adjust, that kind of
• 37:31
  thing. So, I think those a lot of
• 37:32
  mutual things for why these two teams, probably won't make the
• 37:34
  playoffs. I want to finish it off.
• 37:35
  Before you go fish with the Stealers and two very suspect
• 37:39
  things. You look at the Ravens game a
• 37:41
  couple weeks ago. A touchdown that was overturned
• 37:43
  and this saint Brown panel which didn't look like much of
• 37:46
  anything overturning it you wonder you said it all the time.
• 37:50
  Arrow is the NFL rigged type thing.
• 37:52
  You wonder if Aaron 100% Aaron Rodgers, maybe one last hurray
• 37:56
  Mike Tomlin one last hurray and Pittsburgh they want to get him
• 37:59
  into the playoffs and two very like shady calls at the end of
• 38:02
  those two games you for, like you said a mediocre team like
• 38:05
  trying to help them get so what? Wait a second.
• 38:07
  The NFL wants to see Pittsburgh make a run with Mike Tomlin and
• 38:10
  Aaron Rodgers, instead of seeing Dan Campbell Saint Brown and
• 38:13
  some of the young talent that they have Jamir gives who's one
• 38:15
  of the best, young running backs in the league.
• 38:17
  You would rather see Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs then the
• 38:21
  Lions. I don't think they should.
• 38:22
  I doesn't make any sense. But again the NFL does it make
• 38:26
  any sense for over the last couple of years?
• 38:28
  You wonder if the NFL knows what they're doing as an organization
• 38:32
  they know how to make money? There's no question they do.
• 38:34
  Roger Goodell knows how to bring in money for endorsements.
• 38:37
  I think me and you and fish could figure out ways to
• 38:40
  Bringing In torments from One of the biggest empires of all all
• 38:45
  of the world in all of the country.
• 38:47
  What worries me about the NFL is they don't really put the their
• 38:52
  their their strengths of the organizations like the Lions or
• 38:56
  even some of the other big organizations over the years in
• 38:59
  a position to succeed even though it is Aaron Rodgers one
• 39:03
  of the greatest quarterbacks of all time or it is.
• 39:05
  My Tomlin who's been one of the more successful coaches as far
• 39:10
  in the regular as far as the regular season.
• 39:11
  But one of the biggest failures in NFL history, when they get
• 39:15
  into the playoffs, Well, let me let me start there with Tomlin,
• 39:18
  because you say what you will about him and you're right since
• 39:22
  that early championship in his his run, they just don't get
• 39:25
  past the first round. And they don't have I would
• 39:28
  argue, they don't have a ton of talent, you know, I would, I
• 39:32
  would say they don't have the best roster in football and
• 39:35
  Tomlin just finds a way every year to be over 500 to get into
• 39:40
  the playoffs. I think with a lesser coach
• 39:42
  they're they're not over 500. Many of these seasons in the
• 39:47
  last handful of years. Dating back to like the last two
• 39:49
  years of Rockefeller when he was God awful right he was bad and
• 39:54
  he still kept them around 500 rather, they had no business
• 39:58
  being anywhere near 500 of course, 500 doesn't win any
• 40:02
  championships, right? That's what we want.
• 40:04
  And but is that really Tomlin thing and look at what Tomlin
• 40:07
  did to Dan Campbell in this game.
• 40:08
  I love Dan Campbell, but Dan Campbell has a problem.
• 40:12
  Dan Campbell is an offensive coordinator is a very limited
• 40:17
  offensive coordinator. He wants School football.
• 40:19
  He wants to get the lead, he wants to run the ball, he wants
• 40:22
  to control the clock but what happens when you take these
• 40:25
  fourth down gambles and you don't Take them now, you're
• 40:29
  behind now, you can't run the ball.
• 40:32
  Now you have to open up the passing deck.
• 40:34
  You can't do play action with Jared Goff to prevent him from
• 40:37
  getting that pressure because they know the past is coming
• 40:40
  because he'll get killed if you do that.
• 40:42
  So guess what? Now you have to open up the
• 40:45
  passing attack and Dan Campbell is not a spread offense, you
• 40:48
  know. Guru, they don't pass the ball
• 40:50
  very well with him now, he's got trick plays, he's a lot of fun
• 40:55
  and he's convicted and the guys run through walls for him.
• 40:58
  So he makes it closed every time that last play was crazy.
• 41:01
  That last play was crazy where I'm in, Ross, Saint Brown
• 41:05
  catches it on the what? Like inside the one he gets
• 41:08
  driven back. He laterals it's a golf jumps
• 41:12
  into the end zone. Only for them to call it.
• 41:14
  Take a tack offensive Pi on Brown, pushing off on the guy
• 41:18
  who kind of flopped. I mean.
• 41:21
  Pretty wild. That's how they don't make the
• 41:23
  playoffs because it doesn't look like they're making the playoffs
• 41:25
  this year. But to me they had a couple
• 41:28
  injuries like everybody but the biggest loss was Ben Johnson in
• 41:33
  this offseason. Just so Dan Campbell didn't have
• 41:36
  to make you know to try to run the offense without having all
• 41:40
  the tools in the bag to run a more spread offense if he had to
• 41:43
  and I just don't think he wants to Tomlin do it.
• 41:46
  Guess what? The time of possession was in
• 41:47
  this game. The lions always dominate the
• 41:50
  time of possession. Well they lost this one. 34 to
• 41:53
  26, they were Smoked by eight minutes of time of possession
• 41:57
  and they're never going to win that way.
• 41:58
  Arrow. I think I think the big loss in
• 42:01
  the offseason was ragged now he was the big part of that
• 42:03
  offensive line. He was the leader of that
• 42:06
  offensive line and him stepping away and and retiring in the UFC
• 42:10
  and I think it absolutely affected this offensive line.
• 42:12
  This was the best offensive line in football Penny Sewell we all
• 42:16
  know what he is as a tackle we know how dominated he is and
• 42:19
  everybody knows how good the Lions team could be when this
• 42:23
  offensive line runs and does what it does every single year
• 42:27
  with that running game and that running game is still one of the
• 42:29
  best running games in all of the NFL which Emir kids and
• 42:32
  Montgomery. But is Monica I think
• 42:34
  Montgomery's contract is up now, I think he signed.
• 42:36
  Yeah, it's gonna be it for Montgomery.
• 42:38
  You know. They definitely featured Gibbs a
• 42:40
  lot more this year but Gibbs got nothing going against the
• 42:43
  Steelers know we didn't and the last 10 catches as they were
• 42:46
  trying to reach, you know, come back as As it was just emergency
• 42:50
  mode but it was Dink and dump dump off stuff because they were
• 42:53
  playing a deep Zone and that's not really you know, they played
• 42:57
  right into tomlin's hands they did Tomlin ate up Dan Campbell's
• 43:01
  game plan and I will say that. Hi Smith was unbelievable
• 43:04
  yesterday in the running game in the open field there was every
• 43:08
  everything everywhere they were trying to put the ball Highsmith
• 43:12
  was there and and you can see when Highsmith plays at a top of
• 43:15
  his game even without watt, he is one of the most important
• 43:18
  piece to their defense and Porter Jr.
• 43:21
  Did very, very well in the open field against Saint Brown.
• 43:24
  There was a lot of places that yes.
• 43:26
  And you could see the difference when when this kid plays at a
• 43:29
  top level. So, I, I think that Pittsburgh
• 43:32
  is dangerous because of their defense and they have a dual
• 43:36
  threat running game. They gain well, catch the ball
• 43:38
  in the backfield. We've seen what they've done
• 43:40
  with him, especially with Aaron Rodgers being hurt.
• 43:42
  Every time Aaron Rodgers is in healthy, they're using more and
• 43:45
  more gain. Well, in the back in the
• 43:47
  backfield, and then Warren we've seen what Jalen Warren can do in
• 43:51
  the open field, we see and what he does in the running game he's
• 43:54
  Smash Mouth, running back can go obviously North and South but
• 43:58
  also can do things East and West this this team.
• 44:01
  If and one thing I could say about playoff runs and making
• 44:05
  playoff runs, you need a good defense and you need a good
• 44:08
  running game. And that is what Pittsburgh has
• 44:09
  Aaron. Rodgers is to me is like, I
• 44:12
  don't know if it's a gift or it might be the soul that could be
• 44:17
  taken, or out of the Pittsburgh Steelers when they make the
• 44:20
  playoffs because Aaron Rodgers, for some reason, as good as he
• 44:23
  is in the regular season, there are times that he disappears in
• 44:26
  the playoffs, and he depends too much, or he puts too much on his
• 44:30
  arm strength and he puts his team at Harm's Way.
• 44:32
  We seen it. How many times again against
• 44:34
  with the Saint Louis? I'm sorry.
• 44:36
  San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs when he was playing for
• 44:39
  the Packers made. A lot of mistakes for just had
• 44:41
  such like Supreme belief in his body mechanics, nobody in the
• 44:46
  history of football. In my opinion, this is what they
• 44:48
  said about. Roger's when he was at the top
• 44:50
  of his game. Look and we were talking about
• 44:53
  Baker. Mayfield.
• 44:53
  A second I wanted to get to this.
• 44:54
  He wants to roll out to the right.
• 44:57
  Now, the hardest thing to do for a right-handed quarterback is to
• 45:00
  roll out to the left and get your shoulders around.
• 45:03
  Take the proper path, flip the hips so that you can get enough
• 45:07
  mustard on the football, the greatest of all time.
• 45:09
  Doing that is Aaron. Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, made his
• 45:12
  bread and butter rolling out on Scramble drills.
• 45:14
  Flipping his hips going against, you know, the where the flow of
• 45:18
  the play and just getting these balls on the money when doing
• 45:22
  that. So what do they do to Baker?
• 45:24
  They Rush him. So we have to roll out left or
• 45:26
  he steps up and they collapse the pocket on him, or he ends up
• 45:30
  having to throw something where he can't see that over the
• 45:33
  pocket. Because I think he's only six
• 45:34
  one, six two and he throws a pick and the last at the end of
• 45:37
  the game, he thought Mike Evans was going to go, you know, he
• 45:41
  was going to sit down and he might have Evans kept going to
• 45:43
  the, to the sidelines. He just didn't see it.
• 45:45
  And obviously, he's been out for a while so maybe they're not on
• 45:48
  the same page, but God damn, you know, to lose the game that way
• 45:51
  when they were almost in field. Goal range to tie it up.
• 45:54
  Could he want to over time? And look at the Other side of
• 45:57
  the ball, look at what can Alice is done.
• 46:00
  Look at what and you said, like how do you fix Bryce young?
• 46:03
  You don't you fix the offensive line, right?
• 46:05
  That, that's what he did. He fixed the offensive line.
• 46:08
  You give him a running game. You take a guy like that, or
• 46:11
  like you said, speeding, not an efficient Runner.
• 46:13
  Now, there's holes for him. Guess what?
• 46:15
  He's an efficient Runner now. And guess, what else?
• 46:18
  Now, Bryce young can do play action.
• 46:20
  Now, Bryce young has more time when they're dropping back, and
• 46:23
  he can actually see what's going on coaching.
• 46:25
  Guess what? And guess what?
• 46:27
  When Bryce young has time and there's guys open because guess
• 46:30
  what analysis, really good at scheming Guys open as well, you
• 46:33
  know? So they said about Brian dabel.
• 46:34
  That got me. Excited can Alice's definitely
• 46:36
  better than him. They guys are open all the time
• 46:39
  and it's really impressive. And I think that's not, there's
• 46:42
  no surprise they've got in that way and on the other side of the
• 46:45
  bowl, I mean Errol it's your old buddy, Todd Bowles.
• 46:50
  I don't know if he survives he's done.
• 46:53
  Make a playoffs, I think Todd Bowles is done, and I don't know
• 46:56
  if the Buccaneers make the playoffs.
• 46:58
  I'm gonna bet on Caroline. Now after pulling off that win,
• 47:01
  Caroline has to really screw up. If Carolina wins, one of these
• 47:06
  games, they're done. I, I just I can't see the books
• 47:09
  making it, there would have to be some kind of things fall
• 47:13
  together for the Buccaneers to win the division and I I just
• 47:16
  don't see the Carolina Panthers losing out.
• 47:18
  Now after what we saw on Sunday, I I just as good is the
• 47:23
  Buccaneers could be at the top of the game.
• 47:25
  They're not the same defense, they were three four years ago.
• 47:29
  This is a completely different defensive team and they depend
• 47:33
  too much. On the offensive side of the
• 47:34
  bowling, guess what? Todd Bowles, he defensive
• 47:36
  coordinator. He's not an offensive
• 47:38
  coordinator and he lost his two offensive coordinators back to
• 47:41
  back years. He lost Canales and then lost
• 47:44
  Cohen and both of them are doing doing very, very well on
• 47:48
  respectable side of each team won in the AFC and one in the
• 47:52
  NFC. If Cohen fixes Trevor Lawrence,
• 47:55
  give him Coach the right now. Yeah, I mean it's crazy.
• 47:58
  There's so many guys that deserve it.
• 48:00
  You realize they're 11 and 4. Yeah.
• 48:03
  That's crazy and without Travis Hunter too.
• 48:08
  Well without your boy the gremlin Travis Hunter who I
• 48:12
  thought you know is a great for now at least in his career that
• 48:16
  like forth receiver Gadget player that you want to have for
• 48:18
  a handful plays in the game that could just make a play.
• 48:20
  And eventually, I think that's what he's going to be.
• 48:23
  So and so hold on one second. So hold on one second.
• 48:26
  So you moved up from 5 to 2 for a gadget wide receiver.
• 48:30
  Come on fish. Are you a good move?
• 48:34
  Are you applying that he's good for a bunch of gizmos?
• 48:37
  I mean, yeah, that's about, I don't know about gizmos or
• 48:40
  Widgets or anything like that, but, you know, it reminds me of
• 48:43
  a guy that was drafted high for no reason, Tavon, Austin years
• 48:47
  ago and Tavon Austin was a very similar offensive player.
• 48:51
  He's really fast, he was really Dynamic Shifty, but he didn't
• 48:55
  have a rounds, right? Yeah, Rams and end up on the
• 48:58
  Cowboys. Everybody was a fourth receiver,
• 49:00
  never anything more than that. A return guy a little bit, but,
• 49:03
  you know, it just wasnt. And it was, I think it was a
• 49:06
  good as a good return guy, but That if you're trading up or
• 49:10
  taking that in the top 10 picks of the NFL draft, I mean, you
• 49:14
  just a little short sighted. Now, the thing is that if it
• 49:17
  gets fixed, if Travis Hunter becomes a great cornerback in a
• 49:19
  league in which case you justify it and now you have a corner
• 49:22
  that can also be a gadget. Receiver, you take that pretty
• 49:24
  high but it's kind of wishful thinking but I've been can do
• 49:27
  it. I've been telling you this.
• 49:28
  I remember when we went back and forth and you were saying that
• 49:31
  he would fit better as a wide receiver and I said many many
• 49:35
  times he fits better as a corner in the NFL.
• 49:37
  I just don't think the game in the speed of the game, as a wide
• 49:41
  receiver fits the way he plays. He's too thin.
• 49:44
  He is long, I met him, he is a long guy and he does run routes
• 49:48
  pretty good. But in the NFL when you're
• 49:51
  playing wait, when you playing with these guys that are just as
• 49:54
  fast as you, and it just roughly you and his gonna play up under
• 49:57
  you at every point of the game. You're not going to be as
• 50:01
  opening College. You don't have.
• 50:03
  You need to have two feet in, not one foot in.
• 50:05
  It's a different game. The game is completely different
• 50:07
  from College football to the NFL.
• 50:10
  And, and I'm going to tell you this right now.
• 50:11
  I would love to hear Travis Hunter now and his take on his
• 50:17
  first NFL season, because he was very, very cocky at the Heisman
• 50:21
  Trophy dinner, he was very cocky about him, you know, and he was
• 50:25
  very reluctant to say that his game.
• 50:28
  Fixed the NFL Style game. No, I didn't see it guys.
• 50:31
  I did not see it at any point this year, I know it was early,
• 50:35
  I had only only play 10 games. I didn't have to see anymore.
• 50:38
  I know what Travis aka the gremlin is as an NFL player.
• 50:42
  He needs muscles, bro. It's muscle.
• 50:45
  And he needs to move to the cornerback position.
• 50:48
  That is the only way he's going to have successful at least
• 50:52
  seven years in the end. If I don't know if he, he's
• 50:54
  gonna last seven years in the NFL, I already predicted, he
• 50:56
  won't. So we'll see how that all works
• 50:58
  together. But I will say this, if Cohen
• 51:02
  can't fix him, nobody can because we've seen what he's
• 51:04
  done with Trevor Lawrence. That's all I'm gonna say about
• 51:07
  that. On Saturday, the Chicago Bears
• 51:09
  made an epic comeback to win an instant classic and overtime
• 51:14
  beating the Green Bay. Packers 22 to 16 the Bears
• 51:18
  trailing 16 to 6 with, just over five minutes remaining, when
• 51:24
  they were able to get a field goal, making it in a one score
• 51:29
  game. Then they recovered only the
• 51:33
  5th, onside kick All Season, giving Caleb, Williams a chance,
• 51:37
  who delivered in a clutch, in, in the clutch with a touchdown
• 51:41
  to rookie wide receiver J day Walker, who I didn't even know
• 51:46
  they had on the team with only 24 seconds left and by the way,
• 51:49
  he was doing a dance at the end, I don't know why he's making
• 51:52
  himself look like a complete idiot with Malik Willis in for
• 51:56
  the concussed. Jordan love in what was an
• 52:00
  extremely physical game. The Bears took over on downs and
• 52:04
  over time before Caleb Williams Drew and absolute.
• 52:08
  Dime Dart to DJ more. 46 yards to win the game in a walk-off
• 52:14
  fashion. Oh boy, the way boy.
• 52:17
  Oh boy. That I, I believe that changed.
• 52:20
  Everybody's Outlook to Caleb Williams.
• 52:22
  By the way. It was just the seventh win for
• 52:26
  the Bears against the Packers since 2008.
• 52:28
  And was the first time since 1960, the Bears came back down
• 52:33
  by 10 or more in the fourth quarter to beat the pack.
• 52:38
  The Bears. Now, clinched the NFC North with
• 52:41
  a win next week on the road versus the 49ers or the Packers
• 52:46
  lose at home versus the Ravens. Well.
• 52:52
  I got to give a shout out to Ben Johnson, man.
• 52:55
  I can't really say anything bad about this guy.
• 52:59
  A lot of people over the last couple of years were wondering
• 53:03
  why the Detroit Lions offense was so very good.
• 53:07
  The schemes, the way, the trick plays that he put out there
• 53:10
  having the wide receiver, throw the ball to the quarterback and
• 53:15
  then the quarterback for, you know, throw a hitch pass to the
• 53:18
  tight end, that's through. Touchdowns to the running back.
• 53:21
  I mean, we saw so many things with Ben Johnson.
• 53:24
  It would just completely shake you completely shake your head
• 53:27
  if you were a defensive coordinator, And this year, it
• 53:32
  took a little while. But eventually Caleb Williams
• 53:36
  figured it out. and now, The imagination of what Caleb
• 53:43
  Williams could be in the future. Not only as Elite But could be
• 53:49
  the best quarterback in the NFL in the future.
• 53:52
  Ben Johnson knew. By taking this job.
• 53:56
  He knew that he had a quarterback in place that he
• 54:00
  could win with. He had to figure out.
• 54:04
  And shut him up offset of some of the things that he said to
• 54:08
  the media or not showing up to film day or film room day, which
• 54:13
  we've heard early in the season that Caleb Williams thought he
• 54:15
  didn't need to go and watch film.
• 54:17
  He didn't really need to interact with the other
• 54:20
  quarterbacks in the room, which was absolutely appalling.
• 54:23
  If I was a quarterback and I was trying to watch film with the
• 54:27
  coaches, the quarterback coach and the offensive coordinator.
• 54:31
  But I think Caleb Williams understands.
• 54:33
  Now what it takes to win because it takes a team to get over the
• 54:39
  hump. and I think, what really To me, changed everything in the
• 54:46
  offseason for the Bears, was the fact that after they got their
• 54:50
  coach in place, they restructured that offensive
• 54:53
  line. They added veteran offensive
• 54:56
  linemen. To help out something that Caleb
• 55:00
  Williams did not have whatever flus there.
• 55:02
  An offensive line with veterans and Leadership that can actually
• 55:07
  help maneuver audibles call things at the line of scrimmage
• 55:12
  that maybe Caleb Williams does not see against the defense.
• 55:16
  And you could see that with the offensive line, you could see
• 55:20
  that with the center play, you can see that with tackle play,
• 55:22
  this is a completely different team than they were last year.
• 55:26
  And with swift, the addition of Swift.
• 55:29
  And how do you pronounce his name?
• 55:31
  I'm guy and the rookie who's running the ball, like he's just
• 55:36
  playing smash. This is the best Smash Mouth
• 55:40
  football I've seen. Since I would say when they went
• 55:43
  to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman.
• 55:46
  It's been a long time and just Legend Thomas Jones, I remember.
• 55:51
  It's been a long long time that I could say and I could bring up
• 55:54
  the the way there running and the way there.
• 55:58
  Playing this type of football that I expected the Chicago
• 56:03
  Bears to be playing for all these years and and they're
• 56:08
  always and they've always been known as a Smash Mouth team,
• 56:10
  great running game, great defense.
• 56:14
  Not really great. Quarterback play.
• 56:17
  And Caleb Williams could change that Outlook. and that's why
• 56:22
  they brought Ben Johnson and that's why I believe Chicago
• 56:25
  brought Ben Johnson in because if anybody can fix Caleb
• 56:28
  Williams and get him to believe that he could play in this game
• 56:32
  at a top level it's been Johnson he did what Cherokee off It
• 56:37
  didn't work, Jared Goff could not figure things out with Sean
• 56:41
  McVay. Sean McVay.
• 56:43
  Everybody thinks the quarterback Whisperer.
• 56:45
  The one of the great offensive Minds in the NFL.
• 56:50
  Sean McPhee couldn't figure out jerk off.
• 56:54
  But Ben Johnson did Dan, Campbell did.
• 56:57
  And you could see the difference in Jared goff's game.
• 57:00
  He is a different quarterback. Over the last three to four
• 57:04
  years because of Ben Johnson. And let me tell you something,
• 57:08
  Caleb, pulliam's has more weapons than Jared golf does.
• 57:13
  They were, they will both number one picks in the first round,
• 57:17
  both of them jerk off coming from Caleb, Williams coming from
• 57:21
  USC, both California teams, and a lot of people questioning
• 57:27
  Caleb Williams because of his crybaby, Antics on the football
• 57:32
  field in college, it is final year as a starting quarterback
• 57:37
  over there at USC. and questioning Lincoln Riley, the
• 57:42
  way he babied him coming from Oklahoma and then going to USC
• 57:47
  and it took a little while for Caleb Williams to realize that
• 57:51
  his ability to escape problems in the open field is what's
• 57:55
  going to make this kid that Aaron Rodgers type of
• 57:59
  quarterback. And I've told everybody what I
• 58:02
  thought about Caleb Williams. If there's somebody, I compare
• 58:05
  Caleb Williams, too. It's no other than Aaron
• 58:09
  Rodgers. He doesn't have like Aaron
• 58:12
  Rodgers wasn't lightning fast. I mean, he wasn't one of those
• 58:16
  quarterbacks. All my God, this guy's a Speed
• 58:18
  Demon and he could throw but he he was like a snake.
• 58:21
  He could slide in and slide out make plays with his legs.
• 58:25
  That you wouldn't think they could and then Escape situations
• 58:30
  that a lot of quarterbacks couldn't because he was like a
• 58:34
  snake that's Caleb Williams guys.
• 58:36
  It's exactly the way Caleb Williams plays.
• 58:39
  Now, I don't know if he has the arm strength of Aaron Rodgers,
• 58:42
  he's got a great arm but I don't know if he has the arm strength
• 58:45
  of Aaron Rodgers, so I think as the best arm I've ever seen in
• 58:47
  NFL history, But he has the ability to do the things that
• 58:52
  Aaron Rodgers could do in the open field and think about it.
• 58:55
  What a coincidence that the arch nemesis of the Chicago Bears, is
• 59:02
  the Green Bay Packers and who drafted Aaron Rodgers.
• 59:06
  The Green Bay Packers. So I it's crazy when you think
• 59:09
  about it in the outlooks to what Green Bay is now and they're
• 59:13
  both great teams and I would love to see Green Bay meet
• 59:16
  Chicago once again in the playoffs and go head to head
• 59:19
  with one another because those games are fun to watch Ben
• 59:22
  Johnson and the way he calls plays and then the Green Bay
• 59:26
  Packers. And the way their young coach
• 59:28
  calls plays, it's fun to watch It, it's like a chess game.
• 59:33
  And who's gonna win? Who's gonna knock off The Rook?
• 59:36
  Who's gonna get to the queen, who's gonna knock off the king
• 59:39
  to get to the queen? That's the way Ben Johnson.
• 59:41
  And that's the way the Packers like, to play one-on-one one,
• 59:46
  one after the other. And again, Ben Johnson knows the
• 59:49
  Green Bay Packers because why? He was the offensive coordinator
• 59:52
  for the Detroit Lions, all those years and and the Green Bay
• 59:56
  Packers and the the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions play
• 1:00:01
  in the same division and go against each other twice a year.
• 1:00:04
  So they know each other so very well.
• 1:00:07
  Now, to go to the game. It wasn't Michael Parsons in,
• 1:00:12
  losing my Carson's on why the Green Bay Packers did not win
• 1:00:16
  this game. The Packers defense was
• 1:00:18
  unbelievable. They put pressure on Caleb
• 1:00:22
  Williams, all game, they put pressure on the running game of
• 1:00:27
  the Chicago Bears, all game. This is a Green Bay Packer team
• 1:00:32
  that had Malik Willis making plays in the open field.
• 1:00:36
  Yes, the same Malik Willis. That was drafted by, not the
• 1:00:41
  Green Bay Packers, who Speedy the Tennessee Titans, the
• 1:00:44
  Tennessee Titans, and he was a second round draft pick.
• 1:00:47
  If I'm not mistaken. Third round, third that everyone
• 1:00:49
  loves. Everybody's Big Arm at the combo
• 1:00:51
  and thought he was gonna be a first round, Talent late.
• 1:00:53
  First round pick. I remember Malik Willis, he
• 1:00:55
  didn't work very well over there in Tennessee.
• 1:00:57
  The Green Bay Packers took a chance with.
• 1:01:00
  I think he went somewhere else before, he went to the Green
• 1:01:02
  Bay, wasn't at the Pittsburgh Steelers, he went somewhere
• 1:01:04
  Atlanta, I think Atlanta wherever you went, but he's
• 1:01:07
  jumped from Squad to Squad and finally found his way over
• 1:01:10
  there, Green Bay And I believe that Jordan love hit was
• 1:01:14
  intentional. That was an intentional hit by
• 1:01:17
  the Chicago Bears. And and the Bears should
• 1:01:21
  absolutely. Whoever hit him.
• 1:01:23
  I don't know. Who exactly.
• 1:01:24
  Hit him should be suspended for the next game.
• 1:01:27
  Because to me that was absolutely.
• 1:01:29
  He was definitely headhunting. He was definitely trying to
• 1:01:32
  hurt. Jordan love.
• 1:01:36
  Did it affect the game and the pace of the game?
• 1:01:37
  Maybe we don't know. Malik Willis played very well
• 1:01:40
  for the Green Bay Packers. He's not Jordan love, and I'm
• 1:01:44
  not saying he is, but he made enough plays and the Packers
• 1:01:47
  choked in the fourth quarter. If dogs didn't.
• 1:01:51
  Drop that on Side, Care can and dots had one of his best games
• 1:01:55
  of the season. He was the only one catch it for
• 1:01:58
  the Packers Watson didn't catch. You can ask fish, he had him on
• 1:02:02
  his fantasy team. Read he got a couple of catches
• 1:02:05
  at the end of the game that helped me a little bit.
• 1:02:07
  I mean I don't think it made a difference but and we'll get
• 1:02:10
  into the whole back and forth to me and fish going back and forth
• 1:02:13
  when it came to our fantasy teams last week and I told you,
• 1:02:17
  who's gonna come out the Victor. I know fish doesn't want to hear
• 1:02:19
  it but you know, who came out the Victor this week buddy.
• 1:02:23
  The fact he is. I expect to see the Green Bay
• 1:02:27
  Packers and a Chicago Bears in the playoffs.
• 1:02:31
  I expect that these two teams could actually meet against one,
• 1:02:35
  another one way or another in the playoffs.
• 1:02:40
  And it will be just as good as game one and just as good as
• 1:02:43
  game two, the first game was all about the orphans.
• 1:02:46
  The second game was all about the defense.
• 1:02:50
  And that to me is what stood out to me when it comes at coaches
• 1:02:53
  are very, very similar the way they call games the way they
• 1:02:56
  call play calling. I I think Jordan love Is is to
• 1:03:01
  me him and Caleb Williams were up.
• 1:03:03
  They were a top seven quarterback in the league.
• 1:03:05
  They were up for the nvp, both of them were on that list Sam.
• 1:03:08
  Donald was And all the quarterbacks that we've
• 1:03:11
  mentioned with Vegas, both quarterbacks have had good
• 1:03:14
  seasons and both quarterbacks you can win.
• 1:03:17
  Them understand her. The question here is now is the
• 1:03:23
  Green Bay Packers going to make excuses at the end of this
• 1:03:28
  season, if they get knocked out of the playoffs, Are they going
• 1:03:31
  to make excuses because Micah Parsons went down?
• 1:03:33
  Are they going to say? Well, next year, we'll have
• 1:03:36
  Michael next year. We'll have Wyatt and we're going
• 1:03:39
  to be a better team in this. You can't do that.
• 1:03:42
  Every team is fighting and playing with injury.
• 1:03:44
  Every team is dealing with injured players.
• 1:03:46
  You can't make that excuse. You got to go out there and play
• 1:03:49
  the game. I have seen teams.
• 1:03:50
  I remember the Green Bay Packers and I mentioned this last show
• 1:03:55
  In 2010, with all the injuries they had on the offensive side
• 1:03:58
  of the ball and even defensive side of the ball, they found a
• 1:04:01
  way to win and that was only the only Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl
• 1:04:05
  he's ever won, even in 26. And when they were really
• 1:04:07
  decimated on defense, they still won like eight or one once the
• 1:04:09
  NFC Championship Game. Absolutely, there's no excuse,
• 1:04:12
  you can't make any excuses on why one team didn't play well in
• 1:04:19
  the second half or one team full short in the playoffs because of
• 1:04:23
  injury and the other team because there are a little bit
• 1:04:25
  more healthier is the reason why they beat him.
• 1:04:28
  There's no excuse, you got to go out, you got to play the game
• 1:04:31
  and and I believe that the Packers did what they were
• 1:04:34
  supposed to do. And I do believe Ben Johnson and
• 1:04:36
  who's the coach of the the Packers, Matt LaFleur, I don't
• 1:04:40
  think they liked each other because I remember the first
• 1:04:42
  game that they played at the end of the game, they went back and
• 1:04:45
  forth with each other in the media room and they went back
• 1:04:47
  and forth with each other when they were talking, when they
• 1:04:49
  were shaking each other's hands. They don't like each other.
• 1:04:53
  And that's fine. You don't you don't have to like
• 1:04:55
  the other team and when you're playing in the same division and
• 1:04:57
  you're playing with this, your your coaching the Chicago Bears
• 1:05:00
  and your coaching, the Green Bay Packers, and you're known to
• 1:05:03
  hate one another. You are Michael Parsons come out
• 1:05:06
  before before that the first game, he says, I I don't know
• 1:05:10
  about, I don't have much love. I didn't have much love for the
• 1:05:13
  Green Bay Packers and I didn't have much more love for the the
• 1:05:16
  Chicago Bears but I know that being a packer I have to hate
• 1:05:21
  the Chicago Bears, and I don't like the Chicago Bears and I'm
• 1:05:24
  gonna go out there and I'm gonna Ram them every single time.
• 1:05:26
  I go out there, and again, that's the way you want to see
• 1:05:30
  these games be played. You want to see that back and
• 1:05:33
  forth and you want to see one coach go out the other coach,
• 1:05:37
  and you want to see that quarterback go out that quarter.
• 1:05:39
  These two guys, could be the future of the NFL.
• 1:05:42
  When it comes to quarterback, play Jordan, love, who's still
• 1:05:45
  fairly young? What 27, 28 and Caleb Williams?
• 1:05:48
  Who's 25? These guys are I wouldn't say
• 1:05:50
  close to age but they're not far from the age and these guys are
• 1:05:53
  the future of the NFL. One who does things in the open
• 1:05:57
  field with his legs. That we, we haven't seen a snake
• 1:06:00
  type of play like like an hour Rogers.
• 1:06:03
  And the other one who was coached by Aaron Rodgers who
• 1:06:06
  played behind Aaron Rodgers that has the arm strength in the
• 1:06:09
  ability to make every single throw in the open field like
• 1:06:12
  Joan and love. Yeah, it's one of those things
• 1:06:14
  where I love the chess analogy because I think you wasn't
• 1:06:17
  really bad coaching anyway for either side.
• 1:06:20
  In this game. Like you look at the Packers
• 1:06:21
  defense. Like you were saying, they got
• 1:06:22
  really good pressure, most of the game with Jeff hafley
• 1:06:25
  without Micah Parsons and then you look at how well the floor
• 1:06:28
  coach with Malik Willis to keep them in the game and take the
• 1:06:32
  lead eventually 16 to 6. It was just like a special teams
• 1:06:34
  loopiness that the Packers have cost for years.
• 1:06:36
  Like they've lost playoff games based on special teams.
• 1:06:39
  Let's talk about the 49ers game with a couple years ago when you
• 1:06:41
  are you a Jeff, like they buffed a punt, they couldn't see it in
• 1:06:44
  the sun in the snow, and, and then obviously the ones like
• 1:06:47
  kick recovery. But like that La Flor hosted.
• 1:06:49
  A really good game and Lake, Wallace played well, and that's
• 1:06:51
  all that, just the Bears were just better and Ben Johnson is
• 1:06:53
  Ultimate really chess master where the way that he coached
• 1:06:56
  with DJ Moore being contained, most of the game, Colston
• 1:07:00
  Loveland, being containing motion of the game.
• 1:07:01
  They had fourth and fifth string wide receivers they had no
• 1:07:04
  Luther burden. Their second round rookie and
• 1:07:06
  they had no dudes, a, whose missed the last five weeks or
• 1:07:08
  so, and really hasn't been a factor Ben Johnson, unbelievable
• 1:07:12
  game, amidst, all that. And you mentioned the injury
• 1:07:14
  exposed, the Bears have lost the most players like combined games
• 1:07:17
  with players to injury more than One else in the League this year
• 1:07:21
  and they are 11 and 4. That is a coach of the year
• 1:07:23
  conversation type guy with that. I don't think he wins coach of
• 1:07:26
  the year. I love what McDonald's done and
• 1:07:28
  and you would ask me my opinion for a bull and McDonnell would
• 1:07:31
  be my top two, guys variable what he's done in the AFC and in
• 1:07:34
  AFC East. That's been dominated by Buffalo
• 1:07:37
  over the last couple of years and then really trying to fill
• 1:07:40
  in and take over for a Bill Belichick, who he was under for
• 1:07:44
  so many years. Won Super Bowls with Bill
• 1:07:46
  Belichick and even though they've had some of the easy,
• 1:07:48
  one of the easiest schedules in NFL history.
• 1:07:51
  Third easy as an NFL history, You Gotta Give a Little Bit of
• 1:07:54
  credit. They want 10 games in a row and
• 1:07:56
  then you go to McDonald's. You're in a division with the
• 1:08:00
  San Francisco 49ers, that is probably gonna make the playoffs
• 1:08:02
  and the Rams that are going to make the playoffs three teams
• 1:08:05
  that are going to make the playoffs.
• 1:08:06
  And I would say San Francisco's had the easiest of the schedule.
• 1:08:10
  Nevertheless, you had to play those two teams twice and have
• 1:08:14
  played. So Sensational with really one
• 1:08:17
  wide receiver. You don't have a number two, you
• 1:08:19
  Have one guy that has been dominant and a running game with
• 1:08:22
  Walker and and sharpen a who has been when when playing at the
• 1:08:26
  top of the game is as good at two-headed monster in the NFL.
• 1:08:30
  Whatever combination you're gonna give him.
• 1:08:32
  Whether it's the coach of the year goes to McDonald's or goes
• 1:08:34
  to Johnson. I think it goes to McDonald's.
• 1:08:36
  Okay I don't think you take it away without her to say.
• 1:08:38
  John Schneider is also like worthy of executive of the year
• 1:08:40
  for Seattle too in their draft was really good this year.
• 1:08:42
  They've had a lot of good freeze but forever.
• 1:08:44
  Yeah, I know. And they've really drafted.
• 1:08:46
  I'm conventionally for a while and then same kind of thing with
• 1:08:48
  the Bears where you look at, you talked about it, like they
• 1:08:50
  really good at finding running backs and really good at finding
• 1:08:52
  defense. This is the first time you
• 1:08:53
  really see a team of the Chicago Bears, besides, maybe that one
• 1:08:56
  year of Mark, tresmen. And Jay Cutler where this is
• 1:08:59
  actually a really good passing attack too.
• 1:09:01
  The Bears are the only team ever that I've never had a 4000 yard
• 1:09:04
  passer in NFL history. Now, Caleb Williams has 3400
• 1:09:07
  yards, he's probably not gonna get there unless he gets 300
• 1:09:09
  yards of both of the final two games this year.
• 1:09:11
  But even so like the progress he has you lost Keenan Allen and
• 1:09:14
  doing has been up and down, couldn't stay healthy.
• 1:09:17
  DJ Morris. Not been the same wide receiver.
• 1:09:19
  A traded for him. But he's been efficient.
• 1:09:21
  He you can use them in so many different ways.
• 1:09:24
  He's not, he doesn't have the speed.
• 1:09:25
  He used to have when he played for Carolina, but you could
• 1:09:28
  stick him in a slot which they've done.
• 1:09:29
  They can move them on the outside.
• 1:09:30
  He could, he could be a number. Number three guy as well to do
• 1:09:34
  in that lineup, but they're gonna be, I believe Chicago's
• 1:09:38
  what they're going to do. In the in the draft next year is
• 1:09:40
  going to look for a number two, a real legitimate number two,
• 1:09:43
  because Keenan Allen's no longer there, he went to LA in the off
• 1:09:48
  season. He wanted to go back to his old
• 1:09:49
  team and play with Justin Herbert and you can see the
• 1:09:51
  difference if they get a number two guy and have DJ Moore, is an
• 1:09:55
  upper three. You're talking about the best
• 1:09:57
  offense in the NFL and an offense that I think could play
• 1:10:00
  in many different styles too. Like they could play two tight
• 1:10:02
  ends with Kemet now healthy and Loveland that both kind of
• 1:10:04
  emerged in different roles. The two running backs you were
• 1:10:06
  talking about they could play that kind of two loveland's take
• 1:10:10
  it. He's definitely been better in
• 1:10:12
  the second half of season. He he didn't look much of
• 1:10:15
  anything in the first day of and remember he was picked before
• 1:10:19
  the Superstar tight end over there in Indianapolis and a lot
• 1:10:23
  of people questioning it. Yeah and he's had the better
• 1:10:24
  second efforts. He's a warrant in the second
• 1:10:26
  half of the Season. Really, since thereby week has
• 1:10:27
  not been great. And Loveland has played out.
• 1:10:29
  Played teams. Are starting to figure out Tyler
• 1:10:31
  walk. Yeah.
• 1:10:31
  And I think Loveland. You look at the spacing that he
• 1:10:34
  has in that type of offense with the Bears.
• 1:10:35
  And again, the same kind of reason, the Bears took laporta
• 1:10:38
  and that are the lines to LaPorte in the second round two
• 1:10:40
  years ago, like you get that kind of Route running emergence
• 1:10:42
  tied in and then the command that can be the blocking tight
• 1:10:44
  end and help out that offensive line which has had some tackle
• 1:10:47
  injuries, but it's still been very good in the interior
• 1:10:48
  mentioned, they trade for, Tony and Jackson all those guys.
• 1:10:50
  Don't Drew Dalman free Smith from Atlanta.
• 1:10:52
  Yeah. Right.
• 1:10:53
  And that's where you look at the impact of a Ben Johnson,
• 1:10:56
  physical type offense. To go along with it.
• 1:10:58
  So they can play so many different styles.
• 1:11:00
  And now, this defense has gotten their secondary healthy.
• 1:11:02
  This is a really good. Would you be surprised if
• 1:11:04
  Chicago goes to the Super Bowl this show?
• 1:11:06
  I would, I only think the only thing I question still with
• 1:11:09
  them. Is sometimes they've started
• 1:11:10
  slowing games, which I don't know.
• 1:11:11
  If you can just special teams has been since Sensational All
• 1:11:14
  Season. They're, they're getting, you
• 1:11:16
  know, big runs from their kick returners and Returners.
• 1:11:20
  I think they've done and their kicker has been one of the best
• 1:11:22
  in Elite to this year. Yeah they've always had good
• 1:11:24
  special teams. I think besides that one year,
• 1:11:26
  everyone's Infamous year with a missed field goal in the
• 1:11:28
  playoffs of the Eagles because they a new kicker at the time
• 1:11:31
  but like their special teams always be good.
• 1:11:32
  What I like to see is going forward this defense.
• 1:11:35
  Now, getting healthy because they have a really good
• 1:11:37
  threesome of Corners now that Stevenson Johnson and Kyler
• 1:11:40
  Gordon oral healthy for one. So go along with that password
• 1:11:42
  that is really good pressure rate wise too Dennis Allen going
• 1:11:45
  over as a defensive coordinator after the fire.
• 1:11:47
  Is the head coach in the Saints. A very good effective too.
• 1:11:49
  I need to see more again. Again, those bigger teams like
• 1:11:51
  starting faster because the Bears have still had trouble
• 1:11:54
  with that throughout the game. But this is a team like the
• 1:11:56
  Commander's last year with more talent that is really good in
• 1:12:00
  the fourth quarter. You know, I always tell teams
• 1:12:02
  that I think you're going to be good or early in the season.
• 1:12:05
  Like you guys don't even know how good you are yet.
• 1:12:07
  And I think the Bears don't realize I think, guys, like
• 1:12:10
  Caleb Williams, you know, they didn't realize how good they
• 1:12:13
  were until they got to this point, you know on the last
• 1:12:16
  couple weeks their coaches incredible, they're playing for
• 1:12:19
  him, they run through walls for him.
• 1:12:21
  I think he picked that up. You know, ripping the shirt off
• 1:12:24
  was a little extreme, the couple weeks ago was hilarious.
• 1:12:27
  Obviously, when you work, it was hilarious.
• 1:12:29
  But you know what, that clearly wasn't a guy who was like that,
• 1:12:32
  I bet until he worked for Dan Campbell, I think working for
• 1:12:35
  Dan, Campbell allowed him to go from more than just a master
• 1:12:38
  exes and Ohs guy. To a Master axis and Ohs and
• 1:12:42
  also a program and culture Builder.
• 1:12:45
  And a guy that people want to be around and things about those
• 1:12:48
  types of things and how to build the team.
• 1:12:50
  And Caleb Williams doesn't strike me as a guy that's easy
• 1:12:53
  to get to buy in. And he got him to buy in this
• 1:12:56
  year and that is awesome. I mean Kayla Williams.
• 1:12:59
  Dude, those two throws at the end of the game.
• 1:13:02
  Unbelievable, the first one. He's fading away like Kobe
• 1:13:05
  Bryant. And he throws it to the back
• 1:13:07
  corner of the End Zone on the money.
• 1:13:08
  The guy was wide open, but he was falling back on Under
• 1:13:11
  Pressure. Like I'm mad and like he was
• 1:13:13
  like literally doing the Madden thing where you back up and
• 1:13:16
  throw and just hope they have enough accuracy to make the
• 1:13:19
  play. And that's how they tied the
• 1:13:21
  game. And then the one where he in
• 1:13:23
  overtime, after they turned them over on Downs.
• 1:13:27
  I mean DJ Moore, I would say he's more of a number two like
• 1:13:30
  type a guy that you want to have Like you know, how they used to
• 1:13:33
  use Cooper kupp where like he can be outside but you probably
• 1:13:36
  want them in the slot. I think, like when you have
• 1:13:38
  three wide receiver sets, you're putting them outside.
• 1:13:41
  But if you have two wide receivers, lets you put it,
• 1:13:43
  you're taking Luther burden off the field, DJ more should be
• 1:13:45
  that second guy. If you're going 22% or 21
• 1:13:49
  Personnel or something like that, that's at least that's
• 1:13:51
  what I think. I really like that guy.
• 1:13:52
  They've clearly love I like DJ. I do, I love them and Caroline.
• 1:13:57
  I loved his ability and he was in fantasy.
• 1:14:00
  I always drafted, but he could never been good for me in the
• 1:14:03
  stretch. Run is gonna get me into the
• 1:14:04
  finals in one League, unless George Kittle goes off tonight
• 1:14:08
  and I I really just love the way he plays.
• 1:14:11
  Obviously, that was a huge play PFF.
• 1:14:14
  You know, you not everybody loves PFF.
• 1:14:17
  I know they're not your favorite but they've been raiding like
• 1:14:19
  the most impactful throws in sense.
• 1:14:22
  Like they've been I don't know how many years they've been
• 1:14:24
  doing it speeding maybe you know, but it gave him a plus two
• 1:14:28
  rating on that throw of the DJ more.
• 1:14:30
  No one's ever been above has Ever gotten a plus two.
• 1:14:32
  They're calling it the most impactful like one.
• 1:14:35
  Play one throw any quarterbacks made since they've started
• 1:14:39
  measuring it. That just tells you how crazy
• 1:14:42
  he's been with some of the arm Talent.
• 1:14:45
  It's a hundred percent true. All the stories.
• 1:14:47
  They said you know the clips we show from college and throwing
• 1:14:51
  it like 70 yards on a rope to a guy you know, and at USC like
• 1:14:55
  the guy was incredible but now he's doing it against the NFL
• 1:14:58
  against the Packers defense and when the team needs you the most
• 1:15:02
  obviously they got super lucky to be the Packers and the
• 1:15:05
  Packers are in trouble now because Malik Willis sucks, like
• 1:15:08
  I'm sorry, that dude's been bad for a while and you know Liberty
• 1:15:12
  college is finest. Third round pick, I just doesn't
• 1:15:17
  Inspire confidence. They've got to win one of these
• 1:15:19
  next two games. They got the Ravens.
• 1:15:20
  I don't know if Lamar is playing.
• 1:15:22
  I think he's gonna try to play but he's compromised and that
• 1:15:25
  Vikings team is going to try to play spoiler.
• 1:15:27
  If they can't win those games, don't put it past the Lions to
• 1:15:30
  win those two games and make it in on the Packers.
• 1:15:32
  It's hot that they're inspired. That's a bad headshot though,
• 1:15:36
  bro. I don't know if he can come
• 1:15:38
  back. I don't expect them to Be back
• 1:15:40
  for this game, it's going to be tough for him to be back for
• 1:15:43
  two, the second game as well, and they're gonna really need
• 1:15:46
  him. I think, for that last game,
• 1:15:48
  unless the Lion's choke and I just don't see that happening.
• 1:15:51
  It's there's a lot of questions with the Jordan love head and
• 1:15:55
  I've been saying and I think it was intentional and I think the
• 1:15:57
  NFL needs to look at it and I again I don't remember who hit
• 1:16:01
  him, but you could tell he was headhunting you, you were
• 1:16:03
  trying, you could tell that he was trying to hurt him.
• 1:16:05
  I mean, he kind of put his head down, but he still got a hit in
• 1:16:08
  the chin. If even if he didn't do that,
• 1:16:10
  the guy that whole game, I mean the third play of the game DJ
• 1:16:15
  Moore got sniped by Keyshawn Nixon, who came across the
• 1:16:18
  field. It looked like something it was
• 1:16:20
  super illegal. I hope they announced a fine for
• 1:16:23
  it tomorrow whenever they do it after these things.
• 1:16:26
  So it was real bad, it was obvious and blade and the whole
• 1:16:29
  game was like that. It was it was literally a
• 1:16:31
  playoff atmosphere as it. Well, should be with that
• 1:16:34
  rivalry. But it was it went a little too
• 1:16:36
  far at times in that game I thought but you know what?
• 1:16:39
  That's Football, baby, that's football.
• 1:16:42
  If you're if you're a Chicago Bears fan, you're loving it.
• 1:16:46
  If you're a Green Bay Packer fan you're hating it because in in
• 1:16:50
  your eyes that's a Green Bay, Packer fan.
• 1:16:51
  I know, I gotta give a shout out to Jamie Lee baby.
• 1:16:55
  He's a Green Bay Packer fan the when when Jordan love went down
• 1:16:59
  the first thing he said is intentional, the NFL needs to
• 1:17:02
  look at. He says there they go.
• 1:17:03
  Chicago cheating again so and that's a Green Bay Packer fan.
• 1:17:06
  I I agree with a lot of Packer haters that can't stand the
• 1:17:10
  Packer fans, but he's not wrong. That was intentional.
• 1:17:12
  Watch the watch to hit over and over and over again.
• 1:17:15
  You could tell it was intentionally done and
• 1:17:17
  unfortunate it it goes. It goes well for the Chicago
• 1:17:21
  Bears and it doesn't go well for the Green Bay Packers.
• 1:17:22
  Well, hope that Jordan love comes back one of these games
• 1:17:25
  because if he doesn't the Green Bay Packers could fall out of
• 1:17:29
  the playoffs just as fast. So I expect him to be back in
• 1:17:32
  the final week of the season, and I expect the Green Bay
• 1:17:36
  Packers to push forward and make the playoffs.
• 1:17:37
  I would love, I don't want to see the it's good.
• 1:17:40
  As Lions are and I love watching the Lions.
• 1:17:42
  I don't want to see the weaker team, play the Chicago Bears,
• 1:17:46
  where they have an easy round. If they're matched up at one
• 1:17:49
  point against the Lions, when you have a harder time playing
• 1:17:53
  against the Green Bay Packers, there's just my opinion.
• 1:17:55
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, our recap, save your tears mom.
• 1:17:59
  What one thing that you can't talk to me about my sexual
• 1:18:03
  fantasy, it's not ideal but if it's what meal, it is not ideal,
• 1:18:10
  but if it's not ideal, but if it is what mean you
• 1:18:25
  Here. All right, welcome to give your
• 1:18:30
  tears. This is the complement chorus.
• 1:18:33
  We're gonna recap last week for week 16.
• 1:18:37
  I was not a part of that one. Here was the, here's the updated
• 1:18:42
  graphic. Oh, I didn't realize that kind
• 1:18:44
  of looked like that, not to fix it.
• 1:18:45
  But here you had some really interesting, if you took Jordan
• 1:18:48
  love, not a great job by you. Obviously, we just talked about
• 1:18:51
  his injury Kayla Williams and Justin Herbert had pretty good
• 1:18:54
  games as did Dak Prescott. Josh Jacobs had it done if he
• 1:18:58
  had him and Hampton probably would have been the one to go
• 1:19:01
  with in that one for only a buck.
• 1:19:03
  He's back for the Chargers. Pickens had a monster game.
• 1:19:07
  DJ Moore with the big touchdown at the end.
• 1:19:11
  Ladd McConkey had a big touchdown.
• 1:19:13
  Pet McMillan have an a big second half of his rookie season
• 1:19:17
  and none of the tight ends did anything.
• 1:19:20
  Let's see who the winner was. And once again, it is speedy,
• 1:19:26
  speedy. The winner once again, Java
• 1:19:30
  Chamberlain comes in second place and then followed by our
• 1:19:35
  intern Jarrett who finishes his run with a third place Victory,
• 1:19:38
  a third place finish on the podium with 73.56 Speedy, with
• 1:19:43
  this Five Points into the standings, you effectively,
• 1:19:47
  clinch, the championship for the regular season.
• 1:19:52
  Now Arrow, do we want to keep the scores going for the
• 1:19:55
  postseason and you want to start fresh?
• 1:19:57
  I think we start fresh. I think we start fresh.
• 1:20:00
  All right, so then we'll come up with some kind of award at the
• 1:20:04
  end of next week's for Speedy. I don't know what it's going to
• 1:20:07
  be yet but we'll think of something arrow for sure.
• 1:20:09
  But for now Speedy, you get the compliment chorus.
• 1:20:12
  Unfortunately, most of the people are not here right now.
• 1:20:15
  I'll fill in for Jared because his score is better than
• 1:20:19
  probably. Anything.
• 1:20:19
  I would have guessed going house.
• 1:20:20
  This, season's gone for me, and Jared has the exact same amount
• 1:20:23
  of points as me and the standings.
• 1:20:25
  So I may as well do it for him speedy.
• 1:20:28
  What a run this season on savior tears?
• 1:20:33
  The inaugural NFL season of Savior tears for her job on the
• 1:20:37
  mouth what you know we only kind of Can kind of grasp.
• 1:20:42
  What you've been able to do, and I don't know exactly what it is,
• 1:20:47
  because I lose every week. But it appears that you always
• 1:20:50
  pick the right quarterback and you always have one of the
• 1:20:54
  sleeper receivers. I'm gonna have to figure out.
• 1:20:56
  I'm gonna have to follow you a little bit.
• 1:20:57
  Errol, you were making mistakes following me earlier in the
• 1:21:00
  season. That's why you slid down the
• 1:21:01
  FedEx standings. but, The one, the follow is Speedy peedy,
• 1:21:06
  congratulations on your season long win.
• 1:21:09
  Let's move on next. And then last place this week.
• 1:21:13
  Mr. Owl. Well, there is, there's not a
• 1:21:17
  lot of compliments. I I'm gonna lead with because I
• 1:21:19
  have my own thoughts to some of the mistakes that he's made.
• 1:21:22
  But Speedy is an Adelaide. Equis 51% positive.
• 1:21:25
  I'll do what I have or I have to do.
• 1:21:28
  Anyways, I he's an analytic whiz.
• 1:21:31
  When it comes to making choices at this range, not very good at
• 1:21:35
  Fantasy as I went to his, you know, what this past week.
• 1:21:38
  But nevertheless, the guy knows his stuff.
• 1:21:42
  He's obviously done, his research and and obviously knows
• 1:21:47
  the players and what they're going to do, and how they match
• 1:21:50
  up very well against other teams though.
• 1:21:52
  I, I congratulate him. He's been very good at it all
• 1:21:55
  season long. I can't, I can't question his
• 1:21:59
  understanding of analytics and how he matches them up against
• 1:22:02
  whoever they're playing again. So congratulations.
• 1:22:06
  Oh those very poetic and well put Tommy poops, Speedy Petey
• 1:22:12
  man. I mean you're always.
• 1:22:13
  It's always like you're up here at the podium with the crown on.
• 1:22:16
  But Speedy, man, I remember when I felt like I was sort of on my
• 1:22:20
  high horse, my huge Podium. When I was doing really well
• 1:22:22
  every other week over here on, save your tears.
• 1:22:25
  But really you brought me down off my high or it's just cuz you
• 1:22:28
  know what to do, you know your stuff, you know, your pics man.
• 1:22:31
  You know how to get those sleeper picks.
• 1:22:32
  Like fish has mentioned and really, I know, I know you're
• 1:22:35
  mentioning that you have been doing too well in fantasy
• 1:22:38
  recently but hey, man, you're at least killing it.
• 1:22:40
  You've been killing it all season long for save your tears.
• 1:22:43
  So congrats man. There you go.
• 1:22:46
  Wonderful, really nice. If in from the car.
• 1:22:53
  Because he was moving and shaking.
• 1:22:54
  All time this Mania what he got to say, tomorrow in Champion.
• 1:23:00
  Well, make this short and quick Speedy.
• 1:23:03
  The man hit the legend. Great job Speedy.
• 1:23:05
  Keep the great work, and you're the master of this game.
• 1:23:08
  So, save your tears or keep it up, man.
• 1:23:10
  Congrats All right. Well put Nathan, guys.
• 1:23:14
  We are going to since you're only doing one episode this
• 1:23:16
  week, later on tonight, at near the end of the show.
• 1:23:19
  In the last hour, we will do our week, 17, episode version of
• 1:23:24
  save your tears. We will pick our teams where
• 1:23:26
  we'll discover next week, who the winner is once again,
• 1:23:30
  although Speedy is the champion will come up with some kind of
• 1:23:33
  prize for him. And again if you don't like how
• 1:23:35
  it went this couple of smacks cry about it.
• 1:23:37
  You gotta save your tears about saving anything, smack him
• 1:23:43
  around a couple of times. Speaking of smacking around in
• 1:23:46
  the first round of the NCAA college football, playoff
• 1:23:49
  action, number nine, Alabama came back to knock off the choco
• 1:23:56
  Houma, Oklahoma Sooner, after being down 17 to Nothing,
• 1:24:01
  winning 34 to 24. It's only the second time a team
• 1:24:07
  has, has, I'm sorry. Oh, it's only been the second
• 1:24:11
  time. A team has been blown a has
• 1:24:15
  blown a 17-point lead in college football in the college
• 1:24:19
  football. Playoff era joining 2017's choke
• 1:24:23
  Oklahoma who blew a 24 to 7, lead to the Georgia, Bulldogs in
• 1:24:29
  what could only be described as a defensive struggle?
• 1:24:33
  Number 10, Miami beat number seven, Texas A&M. 10 to 3 the
• 1:24:38
  lowest scoring game in the in history of the college.
• 1:24:42
  Football, playoff Miami took the lead with 145 to go on a shovel
• 1:24:48
  pass. From Carson back to Malachi Tony
• 1:24:51
  and then picked off Marcel Reed. In the end zone to seal the win.
• 1:24:58
  The matchups featuring the group of five teams were both
• 1:25:03
  blowouts. As number five, organs blew out
• 1:25:07
  number 12, James Madison. And number six Old Miss.
• 1:25:12
  Blew out number 11, Tulane without you know, who despite
• 1:25:16
  the big win organ coach. Dan Lanning was not pleased with
• 1:25:21
  the effort later in the game versus James Madison.
• 1:25:26
  The quarter, the quarterfinal matchups will feature number 10,
• 1:25:31
  Miami versus Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl.
• 1:25:34
  Number five, organ versus number four.
• 1:25:36
  Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl number nine, Alabama versus
• 1:25:42
  number one, Indiana in the Rose Bowl, and number six, Ole Miss
• 1:25:47
  versus number three, Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, what I would say
• 1:25:52
  about these games is I don't come to Oklahoma.
• 1:25:54
  It's Oklahoma. And I'm not surprised, alabin
• 1:25:58
  Alabama, beat Oklahoma Alabama, when when playing at the top of
• 1:26:02
  the game, they have one of the best defenses in the country.
• 1:26:04
  You can see that they put a lot of pressure and they they've
• 1:26:08
  always put a lot of pressure on teams.
• 1:26:10
  They match up again. They Always get the best
• 1:26:13
  linebackers the best defensive lineman.
• 1:26:15
  How many times have we seen a defensive lineman or a
• 1:26:18
  linebacker get drafted in the first round by the Alabama
• 1:26:20
  Crimson Tide? We see it all the time and they
• 1:26:23
  always have good Corners as well.
• 1:26:24
  There's to me Alabama is known for their school is known to get
• 1:26:28
  defensive players not known for the quarterback play but their
• 1:26:32
  quarterback play obviously was better in the second half of
• 1:26:37
  this game and a lot of people thought Oklahoma was going to
• 1:26:40
  run away with this game being up 17 and nothing.
• 1:26:42
  But Oklahoma has been known many, many times as everybody
• 1:26:46
  calls him. Choke lahma to make mistakes at
• 1:26:49
  the tail end of the game and choke.
• 1:26:50
  And that's why people call him choke Oklahoma.
• 1:26:52
  That's why West calls him choke lajolla.
• 1:26:54
  They just find a way to lose games.
• 1:26:57
  Close games are even games that they're looking like.
• 1:27:00
  They're going to blow out teams and and that's what happened in
• 1:27:03
  this game. Now, I I know, Speedy has his
• 1:27:05
  own take to this and I love to hear it, but I can tell you this
• 1:27:09
  right now. I'm questioning Alabama and and
• 1:27:13
  I could I've been hearing stories from Alabama side that
• 1:27:16
  the coach might take that Michigan job.
• 1:27:18
  I don't know if that's a true story or if that is going to go
• 1:27:21
  that way. But if Alabama makes a run they
• 1:27:25
  knock off Indiana this coming week and and he decides to leave
• 1:27:29
  to go to Michigan. I'd be, I'd be shocked.
• 1:27:32
  I'd be shocked on that Speedy. Yeah, it doesn't seem like it.
• 1:27:35
  I think those were initial rumors at this point, I think
• 1:27:37
  that's what they were trying to push for when I say, they found
• 1:27:40
  out a whole bunch of the holes, her own more Scandal a couple
• 1:27:42
  weeks ago, but I again that Alabama Job, Alabama, has the
• 1:27:46
  resources to be able to extend him as much as he wants.
• 1:27:49
  I don't think he has any ties with Michigan where he would do
• 1:27:51
  that. He's not from that area.
• 1:27:53
  So I highly doubt that was the case.
• 1:27:55
  As far as the actual game itself.
• 1:27:57
  Yeah, you're right. It's a team that's Alabama
• 1:27:59
  different when they're always been known for defense and
• 1:28:02
  running game in the past. Now, there's kind of
• 1:28:03
  transforming it into the receivers offense with some
• 1:28:06
  still some good defense that were last year when they missed
• 1:28:09
  Alabama's, defense was Down in a second half, they were and
• 1:28:12
  Oklahoma, you saw the same kind of same kind of collapses.
• 1:28:16
  You've seen in the past two, now granted those Oklahoma teams
• 1:28:18
  with Bob Stoops there. And even with Lincoln Riley,
• 1:28:20
  there were never known for their defense.
• 1:28:21
  I always make fun of Big 12 defenses, just never doing
• 1:28:24
  anything. And hence why most of those
• 1:28:25
  teams don't win championships for a while.
• 1:28:28
  Have they ever since our friend Jason White was on that team but
• 1:28:31
  nevertheless this was a Brent venables LED defense.
• 1:28:34
  It was very good throughout the year.
• 1:28:35
  I thought one of the best defenses, along the playoff
• 1:28:37
  teams and special teams, mistakes, bad field position,
• 1:28:40
  big plays that they allow cost them and Oklahoma at home, just
• 1:28:44
  really doesn't have that same home field advantage as you once
• 1:28:47
  saw when they were in the Big 12 and Alabama, I was worried about
• 1:28:50
  them when it came to playing from behind too because of the
• 1:28:53
  way that venables knows that often.
• 1:28:56
  So they like to play and Alabama, just made better place.
• 1:28:58
  Simpson, I questioned at times but made some good plays in that
• 1:29:01
  game and they're running game. Gotta go in the second half a
• 1:29:03
  very well. I will say this all show and and
• 1:29:06
  again, everybody keeps saying well that it's always a
• 1:29:09
  transition saved him was Is more known for the running game and
• 1:29:13
  the defensive side of the ball. This is still a great Alabama
• 1:29:16
  defense. They were one of the the better
• 1:29:18
  defenses in the country. This year there will a top 10.
• 1:29:21
  They would definitely in the top 10.
• 1:29:22
  I'm not sure I don't quote me on this but they were definitely
• 1:29:25
  somewhere around the top 10 this year and I will I they are more
• 1:29:30
  offensively sound. You got a coach that came from
• 1:29:33
  Washington, that likes to run the offensive side and he likes
• 1:29:36
  to throw the ball and he likes to use that wide receiver core
• 1:29:39
  doing say look at Roma Dunes. A look how successful he's been
• 1:29:42
  since he's come to the NFL and he comes from that Washington
• 1:29:45
  offense. So I and and all.
• 1:29:47
  So there's a quarterback of quarterback, that's looked
• 1:29:51
  pretty good over there in Atlanta who came from that wall,
• 1:29:54
  Washington type of office. So we all understand that, you
• 1:29:57
  know, when you have different coaches, you obviously played
• 1:30:00
  different style but Alabama is always been known to recruit
• 1:30:03
  great defensive players. I I would believe that they have
• 1:30:06
  at least three, maybe even four guys, that will be drafted in
• 1:30:10
  the First round on the defensive side of the ball.
• 1:30:12
  So I, you know, obviously, I'm still learning a little bit more
• 1:30:17
  about what Alabama is with a new coach there, and he's only been
• 1:30:21
  there for two years and, and there was stories.
• 1:30:23
  And I forget, what's the Alabama coach's name over there?
• 1:30:25
  Kailyn Deborah Deborah. There was stories, coming out of
• 1:30:29
  the last week week and a half that Deport could take that job
• 1:30:31
  in Michigan. I think that's is alma mater.
• 1:30:34
  I'm not, I'm not sure yet, but I've heard that he would love
• 1:30:38
  that job and he would take that job.
• 1:30:39
  But when he leave Alabama, would he leave the Crimson Tide after
• 1:30:42
  taking over for a guy like Nick Saban?
• 1:30:44
  And and Saban, there was stories coming out that saving was
• 1:30:48
  interviewing for the LSU job and would would say big come back
• 1:30:52
  and Coach Michigan? I mean, I, you know, when you're
• 1:30:55
  a coaching coaching, you love that football life and I, I get,
• 1:31:00
  I'm not a coach. So I don't know how these guys
• 1:31:02
  think. You would think that and fish is
• 1:31:05
  a coach, you would think that if you have the opportunity to
• 1:31:08
  coach you're on my motto, you or you get To coach over there.
• 1:31:11
  Michigan a team, that's won a national championship a couple
• 1:31:13
  of years ago. And it's always a school in the
• 1:31:16
  running for a championship. And I'm not saying Alabama
• 1:31:20
  isn't, because Alabama has been the most successful school when
• 1:31:23
  Nick Saban was there and even been so successful over the
• 1:31:26
  years before, Nick Saban took over the, the team, in the
• 1:31:30
  program. But I I look at the bore, why
• 1:31:33
  wouldn't abort look at Michigan as an opportunity for him to
• 1:31:37
  take over and and make a run and win a National Championship.
• 1:31:39
  He's got to win one with Alabama first, he hasn't done that yet
• 1:31:42
  and he's been to a he's been to and see double a championship
• 1:31:46
  over there. Well, Washington.
• 1:31:47
  But I think that's the only reason why he wouldn't leave
• 1:31:50
  Alabama is because he hasn't won one yet with Alabama.
• 1:31:53
  But being that this job is open, why wouldn't you interview for
• 1:31:57
  the job and see what you can get paid or the opportunities you
• 1:31:59
  have with the, the portal and how much money you can get for
• 1:32:02
  the portal? You see Old Miss Ole.
• 1:32:04
  Miss getting over the hump. You sold what?
• 1:32:06
  What just happened? Ole Miss.
• 1:32:07
  Did it with a defensive coordinator.
• 1:32:09
  It's never had coaching. Experience and doing what, what
• 1:32:12
  they did in this. In this game, a very impressive,
• 1:32:16
  I was very impressed, a lot of people thought Tulane was going
• 1:32:21
  to win because of a rookie coach.
• 1:32:23
  A guy that taking over for a lane kiffin, who's not there and
• 1:32:26
  they put up, they put up 51 points against a two-lane team.
• 1:32:29
  That's been very good all around, all season long,
• 1:32:32
  defensively and offensively. So I was shocked that they
• 1:32:37
  pulled away the way they did against tooling Speedy.
• 1:32:39
  Yeah, it's one of those two lane teams.
• 1:32:41
  That's always gonna play physical.
• 1:32:42
  That's why I was mocking the CBS sports analyst.
• 1:32:45
  A few weeks ago. That was saying, oh it's a
• 1:32:47
  safety hazard to have these group of five teams in the term.
• 1:32:49
  This is a really good defensive and offensive in a conference
• 1:32:52
  has more known for their offense of teams and they play great.
• 1:32:55
  I just didn't know if they had the offensive capabilities to go
• 1:32:58
  into a tough environment, like Ole Miss, by the way, he wants
• 1:33:01
  that smell that graphic that they had on the scoreboard was
• 1:33:04
  horrible, but nevertheless, it was a tough environment.
• 1:33:07
  I see crowds, and also a team in I said destroy two linear in the
• 1:33:11
  year even with Lane kiffin so, but you gotta give him credit
• 1:33:14
  for the adversity that they had just Ole Miss again, rallying
• 1:33:16
  around their coach rallying around a familiar system that
• 1:33:18
  made it work. And again, they did what they
• 1:33:20
  were supposed to do against a group of five team, destroyed
• 1:33:22
  them. Now they get to take on George.
• 1:33:23
  Like next will be a big test for them against Kirby smarter
• 1:33:26
  two-time Championship coach, but Ole Miss definitely has the
• 1:33:29
  defense of capabilities. We'll see if they definitely,
• 1:33:30
  we'll see if they have the offensive capability to
• 1:33:32
  Extended. They do it with obviously
• 1:33:33
  without linking. That'll be the bigger tests and
• 1:33:35
  everybody wanted to see Carlson back.
• 1:33:36
  Everybody wanted to see Carlson back in.
• 1:33:39
  And I think that's the reason why they pulled away in that why
• 1:33:43
  they made this tournament. And I really do believe that if
• 1:33:45
  Texas was any good in the beginning of the season, I think
• 1:33:48
  Texas with Arch Manning the way he played in the final three of
• 1:33:51
  four game's I think Texas sneaks into this, this playoff, but
• 1:33:54
  Carlsen back is a guy that is expected to be maybe a late
• 1:33:59
  first round draft pick. Now that seller has decided to
• 1:34:01
  go back to college. Definitely a second round,
• 1:34:04
  Talent teams will be definitely look at him in a second round.
• 1:34:07
  If he becomes available in this year's draft, Which it has been
• 1:34:11
  said that he's going into this, he's going to put himself in
• 1:34:15
  this year's draft after the season is over.
• 1:34:17
  But Miami, I'm not surprised with Miami.
• 1:34:20
  I, I was surprised that it happened the way it did, but I,
• 1:34:25
  I know why Miami is in this tournament.
• 1:34:27
  I know why Miami a lot of the, the voters and and the, the
• 1:34:31
  board, the committee decided to put them in was costing back and
• 1:34:35
  and I will say this calls him back at the end of the game,
• 1:34:37
  showed you why a lot of people like this kid.
• 1:34:40
  I again, I remember when he was playing for Georgia and he, he
• 1:34:44
  fell to do the things that he was supposed to do over there in
• 1:34:46
  Georgia, and that's why he jumped ship and he wanted to the
• 1:34:48
  portal and eventually found his way in Miami.
• 1:34:50
  But I I got to give the kid a little bit of credit.
• 1:34:53
  He did what he needed to do, and he did it in the big game.
• 1:34:56
  Yeah, that's I think the difference when you look at a
• 1:34:58
  defensive tool that I thought it would be a low scoring game,
• 1:35:00
  because Texas A&M did the best defense in the SEC this year.
• 1:35:02
  I think they were fourth or fifth overall in the nation.
• 1:35:05
  And Marcel, Reed was playing very well, probably up until the
• 1:35:08
  end of the season. But that was Difference of
• 1:35:10
  adversity that you didn't see with Reed and then you saw with
• 1:35:13
  back even though back then again you never overly good
• 1:35:15
  statistical game because nobody could move the ball in that
• 1:35:17
  game. But Miami, at least moved it
• 1:35:18
  better because they were at least getting a field goal
• 1:35:20
  raised their kicker missed three times.
• 1:35:22
  That was the biggest factor of why they couldn't finish drives.
• 1:35:25
  They had to go for it more on for them because they just did
• 1:35:27
  not trust their kicker and Mario Cristobal is always been one of
• 1:35:30
  those coaches that's been questioned when he was at Oregon
• 1:35:32
  for winning those big games winning, those fourth quarters
• 1:35:35
  in the past, but somebody like, Carson back, who has that kind
• 1:35:37
  of experience. He wasn't a quarterback of the
• 1:35:39
  Georgia Bulldogs starting when they won the championship, but
• 1:35:41
  he was there. So, he knows that kind of Paddy
• 1:35:44
  is what's gonna become and their defense Miami has been very
• 1:35:47
  strong at the ACC as well. So, that kind of test at the end
• 1:35:51
  of the game, is gonna be something that Mario,
• 1:35:54
  Christopher and Carson back have compared to a young coach Mike
• 1:35:57
  Elko came from Duke Coach shark, I Riley Leonard there.
• 1:36:00
  Yeah. And This was the best team that
• 1:36:03
  they've had, they were good team last year, but not good enough
• 1:36:05
  for the playoff. And now they made that big step
• 1:36:07
  with the talent that they had and all the money that they have
• 1:36:09
  A&M, but just wasn't ready and read.
• 1:36:11
  Last, I was, I was surprised that Texas A&M gotten knocked
• 1:36:15
  off the way they did. They had such a great season.
• 1:36:17
  At one point, they were ranked in the top three in the country
• 1:36:19
  and what the final few weeks, they fallen off, they lost
• 1:36:23
  against Texas. And as soon as they lost against
• 1:36:25
  taxes, they lost their confidence and we're not the
• 1:36:28
  same team and really felt all the way from top two to seventh
• 1:36:33
  rank going into and maybe if they were put in a better
• 1:36:35
  position, maybe they get into the second round of this
• 1:36:39
  tournament. I just thought it was a bad
• 1:36:41
  matchup for them. Yeah, Wesley mentioned it too.
• 1:36:43
  Last week on. Let's parlay like the Texas A&M
• 1:36:45
  strength of schedule that you've seen in the past with like the
• 1:36:47
  SEC East versus the SEC, West tooth that they took away when
• 1:36:50
  they expanded the conferences too.
• 1:36:51
  Same kind of thing in the Big Ten with the Big 10 East and the
• 1:36:53
  Big Ten West, the Big Ten East always have the significantly
• 1:36:55
  stronger Central. Yeah, I think you saw that, that
• 1:36:58
  kind of adversity was not there for them playing against the
• 1:37:00
  team like Miami that Well, they didn't play an amazing schedule.
• 1:37:03
  We talked about what we were discussing.
• 1:37:04
  Did the college football committee get it right?
• 1:37:06
  They were so playing the 45th ranked schedule Miami and they
• 1:37:09
  still know how to punk tough with some good teams and they're
• 1:37:12
  beating Notre Dame and some other good teams this year and
• 1:37:14
  you look at Texas A&M flashy but still doesn't have that kind of
• 1:37:19
  sense of adversity yet. And that's where I think you saw
• 1:37:21
  the coaching definitely take over.
• 1:37:22
  Even though Chris, Bull's been questionable big games that he
• 1:37:25
  was. The defense was still able to.
• 1:37:27
  I will say this. I love that.
• 1:37:29
  Danny Lannon came out the way he did and and attacked his team,
• 1:37:33
  because he's got a Young quarterback.
• 1:37:35
  That's probably gonna go into this year's class who could be a
• 1:37:39
  top 10 pick and Dante Moore. You Speedy think that he could
• 1:37:42
  be the best quarterback in his class?
• 1:37:44
  Yeah, if he's put in the right position, but I has a lot of
• 1:37:48
  learning to do and and the speed of the game, the NFL game is
• 1:37:50
  completely different than college football.
• 1:37:52
  We've gone back and forth and and talked about.
• 1:37:54
  But I love the fact that Dan Lanning after the game attacked,
• 1:37:58
  his team attacked the way they played against a team that to
• 1:38:01
  me. E, they're just so much better.
• 1:38:03
  Then James Madison had a great year.
• 1:38:05
  Should they have made this tournament?
• 1:38:07
  My, my honest? And my my honest take, and my
• 1:38:10
  perception to what I've seen with James Madison, whatever, I
• 1:38:12
  saw this year because I'm I don't watch college football
• 1:38:15
  religiously like you do speed or maybe fish or, or less or any of
• 1:38:20
  these guys or even Jeff who comes on a show, but I watch it.
• 1:38:23
  I watch James Madison played a couple of times and it to me,
• 1:38:26
  they've been one of the more impressive teams if the country
• 1:38:29
  because they come from a conference that is not as been
• 1:38:34
  known to be a great conference, but had such a great year and
• 1:38:37
  and matched up against teams that they completely dominated
• 1:38:41
  against. And that's why they, they got
• 1:38:42
  into the tournament but to be connected or even being compared
• 1:38:47
  to Oregon. I mean, the Ducks are just that
• 1:38:49
  much better of a team coach. One of the best coaches in the
• 1:38:52
  country, a coach, that, I believe, eventually will coach
• 1:38:55
  in the NFL. And, and to me, one of the
• 1:38:58
  loudest and obnoxious coaches in the college, but Pop-up really
• 1:39:02
  shows it on the football field with the dominance in and the
• 1:39:05
  way organ football has been over the last couple of years.
• 1:39:08
  Yeah, it's one of those mistake. Definitely, Landing is gonna
• 1:39:11
  address those kinds of things of the second third quarter.
• 1:39:13
  Like I think once they had that kind of 28 point lead, I think
• 1:39:16
  they made a lot of sloppy mistakes or defense was giving
• 1:39:18
  him too much space dot say more. I do think he can be the best
• 1:39:21
  quarterback in this draft class but he also made some really bad
• 1:39:25
  interceptions and make it look like he's Jameis Winston as well
• 1:39:27
  and that kind of thing won't translate.
• 1:39:29
  That's why I whoever drafts Dante Moore can't start him
• 1:39:32
  right away because I think there's still those kinds of
• 1:39:33
  mistakes lingering and if they're playing next they're
• 1:39:36
  playing Texas Tech. I know West no Jet fans, we do
• 1:39:39
  not want Dante Moore, you have to be careful, you cannot start
• 1:39:43
  him right away, you have to do, maybe even longer than what the
• 1:39:45
  Patriots had last year with Drake Maye.
• 1:39:46
  If you do start him, whether it's the Raiders, whether it's
• 1:39:48
  Jets, Arizona, whatever drafts I Can See Clearly doing it because
• 1:39:51
  that's very clearly. Oh, that's the spirit of that
• 1:39:54
  leave it. As you can see them at number
• 1:39:57
  two. They have they have a chance
• 1:39:58
  because shoulder Sanders. It's not the guy, I don't know
• 1:40:00
  and I I'd be very surprised if Cleveland drafts a quarterback
• 1:40:06
  wherever they land right now. They're at three.
• 1:40:08
  If Cleveland goes after a quarterback, and they draft
• 1:40:10
  Dante Moore. It's like a head Shaker because
• 1:40:13
  you don't understand Dante DeShaun Watson is there and you
• 1:40:18
  have shedeur Sanders and you did you dread.
• 1:40:20
  You drafted Gabriel in the fourth round.
• 1:40:22
  You have three quarterbacks that are going to be on the roster
• 1:40:25
  next year and then you bring in Dante Moore.
• 1:40:27
  How does this make sense? And, you know, shoulders not
• 1:40:30
  going to help them in this kind of offense and you know, this to
• 1:40:33
  me is one of the harder harder offenses to learn in the NFL and
• 1:40:37
  then Deshawn Watson he's trading.
• 1:40:39
  He is out there. Trying to teach your door and
• 1:40:42
  and Gabriel he's gonna come out there and try to teach Dante
• 1:40:46
  Moore three guys that could take the job away from.
• 1:40:48
  I don't see that happening. I see clear that Cleveland
• 1:40:51
  either trading out of that spot or deciding to do something with
• 1:40:56
  John. Well, I don't know what
• 1:40:57
  Cleveland does, but if they go quarterback, you know how stupid
• 1:41:00
  that organization is? If they do that.
• 1:41:02
  So the only way that more comes out this year, in my opinion is
• 1:41:07
  if they go on a run and win the championship, or he plays really
• 1:41:09
  well in the championship game and they lose, I don't think it
• 1:41:12
  makes sense for him to come out unless he's gonna be number one
• 1:41:15
  and I don't think he is I think he's talented enough to be
• 1:41:18
  number one next year. Now he's not Anthony Richardson
• 1:41:20
  like he's a complete mess and he drafted the number five and you
• 1:41:24
  can't play him or anything like that, he's never gonna be able
• 1:41:26
  to play in the league, he's definitely going to, he just
• 1:41:29
  needs to sit, he reminds me more of like a Jordan love where you
• 1:41:32
  had that you want to sit him a little bit because he hasn't had
• 1:41:35
  enough reps in college yet and he makes some of those
• 1:41:37
  boneheaded plays, you know like Sam darnold.
• 1:41:40
  Needed an extra year in college. Mark Sanchez, in actually you're
• 1:41:43
  in college. And, you know, you have
• 1:41:44
  sometimes you get those types of boneheaded plays because you
• 1:41:47
  didn't have enough reps. He didn't learn it.
• 1:41:48
  When you have lower stakes in college, you know, it's really
• 1:41:51
  high stakes every week, but it's low stakes.
• 1:41:53
  When you're up, 50 points, Landing obviously doesn't want
• 1:41:55
  them to develop bad habits, going into a real competition
• 1:41:58
  next week. You know, again, Texas Tech
• 1:42:01
  know, A big problem for them and Texas.
• 1:42:03
  Tech is a big 12 team that's had a good defense this year too.
• 1:42:06
  And Oregon, like I was saying, with Texas A&M.
• 1:42:10
  They didn't face Ohio State. They didn't face really did face
• 1:42:13
  Penn State but they weren't as good.
• 1:42:14
  They didn't face the strength of the Big Ten competition that you
• 1:42:16
  saw them face last year. When they went undefeated, now
• 1:42:19
  granted the lost they got smoke Bayou state in the first round
• 1:42:21
  of the college football playoff last year as the one seed, but
• 1:42:24
  it's not the same level. The Oregon defense can play as
• 1:42:28
  badly as they did too. In the second half, when they
• 1:42:30
  were just letting JMU back in the game, you covered the
• 1:42:32
  threat, a seven, a 21 and a half points.
• 1:42:34
  Fred, they actually covered it because our got soft and Dante.
• 1:42:37
  Moore was just making some bad mistakes.
• 1:42:38
  And again, I don't know if he has to sit out the whole season
• 1:42:41
  if he missed, if he gets drafted that early in the draft, but at
• 1:42:43
  least have him. Sit at least half of the season
• 1:42:45
  because I do think he has better some better traits than Anthony
• 1:42:48
  Richardson, but he didn't play long enough, he was a five-star
• 1:42:50
  recruit the same year as Archie Manning and a lot of people
• 1:42:53
  thought he was gonna be better than him, but he never played at
• 1:42:55
  UCLA. I was telling it like I was
• 1:42:57
  shocked that old missed did what they did against Tulane and they
• 1:43:00
  just completely dominated. It was Not even close and you
• 1:43:03
  got to give them a little bit of credit.
• 1:43:04
  They use two quarterbacks in the game and chambliss.
• 1:43:08
  I don't know much about him, but his completion percentage was
• 1:43:11
  pretty good. I think his quarterback rating
• 1:43:13
  was at 172, which is ridiculous. And he only threw one path, one
• 1:43:19
  touchdown pass, but he ran the ball very well.
• 1:43:21
  He's a multi, he rushed for two yards, two touchdowns.
• 1:43:25
  So he did everything right and I was very impressed with the
• 1:43:29
  coaching and the coaching staff because you lost all your
• 1:43:32
  coaches, what? Two weeks before a week before.
• 1:43:35
  And then you go into a game in a playoff where you're playing a
• 1:43:38
  team that has their coach who's leaving for Florida at the end
• 1:43:41
  of this run and did what they did and completely dominated the
• 1:43:46
  way they did. I was very impressed with Old
• 1:43:48
  Miss and you got to give the code.
• 1:43:50
  Like I said, You Gotta Give the quarterback play and the
• 1:43:53
  coaching staff, and the running game because the running, they
• 1:43:55
  ran all over too late in that game.
• 1:43:58
  I just say Kwan Lacey will be a running back to watch for next
• 1:44:00
  year's draft. He's Eligible this year.
• 1:44:02
  But the way that Jeremiah Love is getting a lot of hype this
• 1:44:05
  year with Brazil related to Eddie Lacy know, but he might be
• 1:44:09
  related to the LSU guy that passed away.
• 1:44:11
  I think that's right. I believe that is his brother.
• 1:44:14
  I'm pretty sure and Lacey. Yeah, I I'm pretty sure they are
• 1:44:17
  related. I don't think he's related to
• 1:44:18
  any Lacey though. But anyway, so yeah, that one
• 1:44:21
  great year and then all of a sudden decide to eat too much
• 1:44:22
  which then be well for his NFL career.
• 1:44:24
  No bye Eddie Lacy cost me a bunch of money.
• 1:44:27
  Yeah I remember Green Bay Packers.
• 1:44:29
  I remember when everyone wanted to take him in the top five that
• 1:44:31
  one year as a fantasy running back and I thought it was not I
• 1:44:35
  know a lot of people over there that are Green Bay Packer fans,
• 1:44:38
  AKA Jamie Lee. That has his own thoughts, Teddy
• 1:44:42
  thought, what do they call him? He has Burger Eddie.
• 1:44:46
  Cheeseburger Eddie, they call him facie or fatty or dude,
• 1:44:50
  couldn't keep the weight off or else.
• 1:44:52
  He could have been a great power back for a long time, but you
• 1:44:54
  know, who had the best time and the easiest job and made the
• 1:44:58
  most money this past weekend. Mr. Lane kiffin who got to
• 1:45:02
  collect a 250,000 dollar bonus from LSU for Ole, Miss beating
• 1:45:09
  to Lane in the first round of the college football better than
• 1:45:13
  him said, who's better than him? What a great job of sitting
• 1:45:18
  there and watching, people clean up his mess and win him, a
• 1:45:22
  quarter of a million dollars, that is insanity, but that's
• 1:45:26
  Lane kiffin. What?
• 1:45:28
  What a bag that he gets to steal from that?
• 1:45:30
  That's, that's incredible. All-time Maneuvers its way up
• 1:45:34
  there and I don't Some of my half a million if they win this
• 1:45:37
  next game. Hi Ram.
• 1:45:39
  You. That's, you know, I think the
• 1:45:42
  Nathan drops are quite appropriate for Mr. Kiffin my
• 1:45:44
  indoor. Yeah.
• 1:45:45
  And by the way, now you're going into a week or the next week and
• 1:45:50
  a half of great football and the matchups are right there for you
• 1:45:54
  Miami versus Ohio State, Ohio State who's to me.
• 1:45:58
  It's been the best team in the nation all season long.
• 1:46:01
  They have the running game, they have the wide receivers, they
• 1:46:04
  have the defense. They have one of the, they have
• 1:46:06
  three guys, that could actually be first round talent in this
• 1:46:09
  year's class. I mean, you're talking about the
• 1:46:12
  Buckeyes who to me is still, I believe.
• 1:46:14
  Besides what Vegas believes is the favorite to coming out and
• 1:46:19
  winning the whole national championship, and they're
• 1:46:21
  matched up against Miami and caution back.
• 1:46:23
  Could you imagine calls and back and Miami?
• 1:46:26
  And the Hurricane's, knock off the almighty, Ohio State
• 1:46:30
  Buckeyes. Yeah.
• 1:46:31
  They're gonna have to do a lot better offensively than they
• 1:46:33
  did. It gets Texas A&M you got you
• 1:46:34
  heard? It kind of see what I got.
• 1:46:36
  That from Bruce Almighty, Almighty.
• 1:46:38
  You got that? My movie filmed in Buffalo and I
• 1:46:42
  was in college there. Oh wow.
• 1:46:44
  That's Speedy. Yeah, they're gonna say Miami's
• 1:46:46
  offense. Definitely has enough
• 1:46:47
  capabilities with their tight end.
• 1:46:48
  Play with their with somebody, like, Malachi Tony who's been a
• 1:46:51
  dynamic receiver. This year to go up against that
• 1:46:53
  kind of Ohio State. Secondary, they're gonna have to
• 1:46:54
  get creative. Conceptually we've seen Crystal,
• 1:46:57
  at coach, well, against Ryan Day in the past, Oregon to beat Ohio
• 1:47:01
  State in 2021, and then they played him, they played him
• 1:47:04
  close in Oregon. The following year, they could
• 1:47:06
  kind of a home in home type thing.
• 1:47:07
  So, it'll be interesting to see if those types of Concepts that
• 1:47:09
  he had an Oregon will carry over because Ohio State, they did not
• 1:47:13
  look good. The last couple games on offense
• 1:47:15
  against Michigan, even though they scored 30 something, I
• 1:47:18
  think you can't worry about that.
• 1:47:19
  This is now you're going into the tournament, they had a week
• 1:47:22
  off, they're getting healthy, they're very well coached I'm
• 1:47:26
  not a big fan of day as everybody knows that listen to
• 1:47:29
  the show but he's a very good coach and he understands how to
• 1:47:33
  get to the quarterback and get into the mine of the opposing
• 1:47:37
  quarterback and costing backs back anybody at watches and
• 1:47:41
  play. It has watched him over the
• 1:47:43
  years. College for Georgia and now
• 1:47:45
  Miami once you get into this guy's head and you you get into
• 1:47:49
  his emotion and and get you know get into the lanes where he's
• 1:47:53
  throwing the ball or putting the ball into positions where he's
• 1:47:55
  uncomfortable. That's when he's not the
• 1:47:57
  quarterback that everybody thought he was going to be when
• 1:48:00
  he came out as a top recruit in college when he when he went to
• 1:48:04
  Georgia. So I I think that Ohio could put
• 1:48:07
  a lot of pressure on him. They can use a lot of different
• 1:48:09
  Blitz packages and their Corner play.
• 1:48:11
  They have some of the best secondary in the nation Downs.
• 1:48:15
  Who's one of the best safeties in in the world he might be the
• 1:48:18
  best safety we seen in the last 10 years.
• 1:48:20
  Come out of college. I know you.
• 1:48:21
  You giant fans would love to see him playing for the Giants next
• 1:48:24
  year. But oh man.
• 1:48:25
  Please trade back, give me down. So that like at 10 or wherever
• 1:48:30
  they can get them, you know, in the hot the low tween's or
• 1:48:33
  whatever it is. That guy is like Ed Reed.
• 1:48:37
  Next Generation. Give me that guy right now.
• 1:48:40
  I don't know. I I Personally think that Ohio
• 1:48:45
  state is going to win that game by about 35 points, I think so.
• 1:48:48
  I I think that I love what Patricia has done with that
• 1:48:53
  defense. He's coaching a professional
• 1:48:55
  defense and they have Mr. Scientology scientific.
• 1:48:59
  Mathematical rockets that he is planning to draw up in his back
• 1:49:04
  pocket. I mean, that guy is an idiot.
• 1:49:06
  I mean, anybody I'm gonna tell you you giant fans.
• 1:49:10
  If Patricia is one of those guys, because I saw the list of
• 1:49:13
  guys that Giants could be interviewed with careful.
• 1:49:16
  There's been a bunch of college coaches, that became politicians
• 1:49:19
  and announced you not want, Matt Patricia as your coach.
• 1:49:23
  I don't want to be a head coach at all for my team, I don't like
• 1:49:27
  that but as a defensive coordinator, he does more at the
• 1:49:32
  college level than most people are doing.
• 1:49:34
  And I think that's not a great recipe for Carson back plus,
• 1:49:38
  they're gonna out athlete probably everyone except for
• 1:49:40
  Tony on that team. In my opinion they're in a lot
• 1:49:45
  of trouble. I think against Ohio State, I
• 1:49:47
  don't see it being closed. You know it's so funny.
• 1:49:49
  We think that way. And then something crazy happens
• 1:49:53
  and the game's a lot closer than people.
• 1:49:55
  Believe it could be. I do believe Ohio, State should
• 1:49:58
  run away with this game, but I wouldn't be surprised if Carson
• 1:50:01
  Beck figures out, you know, certain strategies that they're
• 1:50:04
  gonna use the ball does something interesting.
• 1:50:06
  I mean, that's the thing that I'm interested in Speedy, you
• 1:50:08
  know? Christopher has had success
• 1:50:11
  first then before, it's just a different Squad.
• 1:50:14
  It's a I don't think they have the same level of athlete and
• 1:50:17
  the problem when you have and you know this is what James
• 1:50:20
  Madison and Julian had problems with too.
• 1:50:22
  You can call Great plays. And this my football team in
• 1:50:26
  high school, we were playing a kid that was 150 pounds, like,
• 1:50:29
  right tackle, she didn't have anybody else.
• 1:50:31
  It was fast and we were able to, but when we get when he get,
• 1:50:35
  when against the kid, who had the real size just like these
• 1:50:38
  James Madison, Tulane, like athletes are facing when they go
• 1:50:41
  against. Ohio State go against, you know,
• 1:50:44
  Oregon Oregon squared on their first five.
• 1:50:47
  Possessions it was not a competition, they just kind of
• 1:50:50
  let him back in because they were playing.
• 1:50:52
  As Wesley says, they were toying with their food or they were
• 1:50:55
  playing with their food. Yes.
• 1:50:56
  What playing with their food? Because it was boring to them
• 1:50:59
  because they were such better athletes.
• 1:51:01
  It was like they may have well have been an FCS school trying
• 1:51:05
  to play against them. You just not strong enough to
• 1:51:07
  execute the blocks to execute your plays to be able to give
• 1:51:11
  the quarterback enough time to see downfield, you know, look at
• 1:51:14
  Notre Dame and BYU. Right now Harold, they are
• 1:51:17
  pretty pissed off about not being in, and I think it's
• 1:51:20
  pretty obvious. Those two teams would have a
• 1:51:22
  fared better than those two lane and James Madison squads.
• 1:51:25
  I, I will say this about Oregon and I like, Dan Lanning coming
• 1:51:28
  out and saying what he said and maybe this this week in
• 1:51:32
  practice, he's going to be working on some of the mistakes
• 1:51:34
  that they made a special. In a second half defensively,
• 1:51:36
  organ needs to come out strong against Texas Tech there.
• 1:51:40
  There they could play. Defense and they have a good
• 1:51:43
  offensive game. They like to run the ball and
• 1:51:45
  they like to control the clock. If if Oregon can't control the
• 1:51:49
  game offensively as as they did early in the game in their last
• 1:51:56
  game, who did that. I'm sorry.
• 1:51:57
  I'm trying to bring it up oriented.
• 1:51:59
  Yeah. JMU James Madison.
• 1:52:01
  Now, James Madison is in Texas Tech, Texas Tech has been one of
• 1:52:04
  the best teams in the country and we know what Texas Tech can
• 1:52:07
  do. And they have they've got some
• 1:52:08
  NFL players that are going to be in this year's class.
• 1:52:11
  But I expect that organs gonna have to come out strong and play
• 1:52:15
  at a high level against Texas Tech if they expect to win this
• 1:52:19
  game because a lot of people including Vegas has a Texas,
• 1:52:23
  Tech winning this game and running away with this game.
• 1:52:24
  Yeah, they maybe besides Caleb dolls.
• 1:52:26
  They may have the next best defense, the player in the
• 1:52:28
  country. So Jacob Rodriguez at linebacker
• 1:52:30
  has been unbelievable this year. He was actually, I think I don't
• 1:52:33
  know where there. I know you had some of the
• 1:52:35
  numbers with the Heisman voting. Was he like six or seventh in
• 1:52:37
  the overall voting? Yeah like that's how
• 1:52:39
  unbelievable over here. Yeah, Speedy I'll take him on.
• 1:52:42
  The Giants too. You give me that guy 10 times so
• 1:52:45
  weak. Yeah, that guy's gonna be good
• 1:52:47
  in the Giants. Haven't had a good linebacking
• 1:52:49
  Corps since I guess what Armstead was on the pretty much
• 1:52:54
  and I I've always advocated for the Giants, drafted inside
• 1:52:56
  linebacker and they seem to never do it.
• 1:52:58
  Tony appears was a good linebacker.
• 1:53:00
  Yeah but you know they they got him in the offseason one year
• 1:53:03
  and he was really only there for like what three four years,
• 1:53:06
  right? And then they just so I mean
• 1:53:07
  that they just have it like, they never drafted High.
• 1:53:12
  I mean type position you draft high as much anymore but still
• 1:53:15
  like somebody like Rodriguez like, yeah, definitely would be
• 1:53:18
  a nice. I mean, you think about those
• 1:53:19
  giants 80s teams that Belichick was coaching that defense of,
• 1:53:22
  like, kind of who's the kid that the Giants drafted from Penn
• 1:53:25
  State. He was off first round.
• 1:53:26
  No, no. Oh no.
• 1:53:29
  Well, he was supported the Super Bowl champions in 2007 and 2011.
• 1:53:35
  He was a linebacker Penn State. I think he came from Penn State
• 1:53:39
  if I'm not mistaken, right? I don't remember if you Penn
• 1:53:43
  State or not. I feel like I would check out
• 1:53:44
  where Kiwanuka came from. I'm pretty sure I was Penn State
• 1:53:47
  but, you know, regardless of what you're saying, like, the
• 1:53:50
  Giants used to be like linebacker, you, you know, used
• 1:53:53
  to be at Lawrence, Taylor, You've Got the balance.
• 1:53:55
  Yes, you know, they had, that's right.
• 1:53:58
  You knew who was Boston College? And is something I wasn't QA.
• 1:54:02
  Nuka is like father like the first president of Uganda and I
• 1:54:06
  remember key, when hookah, he was a great player for the
• 1:54:08
  Giants, especially in the Run, game clocked up.
• 1:54:11
  He long could do things on the outside cleaner.
• 1:54:13
  You know, they struggled early in his career, to figure out
• 1:54:16
  what to do with him, because of how the game was changing today.
• 1:54:19
  He'd be just a linebacker would be fine or actually be a DNS and
• 1:54:23
  be fine, right? Like a rush end but back then,
• 1:54:25
  you know, you were playing more off the ball at that size.
• 1:54:28
  So he just didn't really have a spot.
• 1:54:30
  So he kind of rotated and you was more of a rotation.
• 1:54:32
  He was a Rover type linebacker like he played a played
• 1:54:35
  versatile spots in all spots of spagnola's.
• 1:54:38
  Defense, I went back. No left.
• 1:54:39
  He played at that point, it's in matter.
• 1:54:41
  What new was a Player for the Giants.
• 1:54:43
  It didn't matter. You offensive, offensive
• 1:54:45
  defensive coordinator was and who and whoever he was playing
• 1:54:49
  against Kiwanuka did a lot of things, great for the Giants.
• 1:54:53
  And when you talk about those championship teams with Michael
• 1:54:55
  Strahan or even Justin talk, Kiwanuka OC human, you are, they
• 1:54:59
  always had a great defensive line and you were talking about
• 1:55:02
  the Texas Tech kid. He's going to have, the Giants
• 1:55:05
  are gonna have their choice on who they want to draft.
• 1:55:08
  If they want to draft down or if they want to stay pathway they
• 1:55:11
  are and and go after whatever player they think is going to be
• 1:55:14
  sitting there at one or maybe falling if they beat.
• 1:55:17
  If they beat Las Vegas. Next week, they could fall from
• 1:55:20
  one to six just as quick. So I it's crazy to see that one
• 1:55:25
  team jump from one. One spot to another that bad.
• 1:55:27
  If they win next week against Las Vegas and and there's a very
• 1:55:31
  good chance. They beat laws because Las Vegas
• 1:55:33
  looks like they've been choking. Gently had his best game the
• 1:55:36
  other day and they still didn't win.
• 1:55:38
  So it just tells you how bad and Pete Carroll tried very hard.
• 1:55:42
  To win that game. Calling timeouts at the tail end
• 1:55:45
  of the gaming, couldn't stop a lick, couldn't stop the running
• 1:55:47
  game, so it was just embarassing speaking of of an embarrassing
• 1:55:51
  game. Georgia, the Bulldogs versus Old
• 1:55:53
  Miss I cannot see Old Miss winning this game.
• 1:55:57
  Georgia. First of all, they have one of
• 1:55:59
  the best defensive Minds in college football over there in
• 1:56:02
  Georgia. This defense is as good as any
• 1:56:04
  defense in the country. Every year they have some of the
• 1:56:07
  top players and and start a top recruits.
• 1:56:10
  And they can run the ball, they can do it as good as anybody in
• 1:56:14
  the nation. I expect Georgia to fall to go
• 1:56:17
  right into the same. I wouldn't be surprised if the
• 1:56:19
  Bulldogs make it all the way to the finals, there, that good,
• 1:56:22
  they're very well billed and they've they always have a good
• 1:56:25
  high recruiting class. As pressing carries his head.
• 1:56:28
  Pressing carries heading there, this coming off season as well.
• 1:56:31
  So I expect the Bulldogs to knock off Old Miss and not just
• 1:56:34
  knock him off completely murder them in in this game.
• 1:56:39
  Yeah, it's interesting because Ole Miss was with Lane.
• 1:56:42
  If they're having the offensive prowess, I thought maybe had a
• 1:56:44
  shot because Georgia's offense has been very streaky this year.
• 1:56:47
  They didn't have a chance to get Gunner.
• 1:56:49
  Stockton has been kind of a streaky quarterback in his first
• 1:56:51
  year as a starter after obviously back transferred to
• 1:56:53
  Miami but this running game has been still very strong.
• 1:56:55
  You got a guy like Nate frager Robinson's been pretty good too
• 1:56:57
  and they have a three-headed monster over there in Georgia
• 1:57:00
  and you kind of seen saw that the way they built up with that
• 1:57:03
  2017 too when they had. So just 17 when they hit
• 1:57:06
  Michelle and they had Nick chop, it kind of reminds me that she
• 1:57:09
  was the only one that actually paid out.
• 1:57:11
  Yeah. Well in the NFL standard.
• 1:57:12
  Yeah. Bill Belichick want to last for
• 1:57:15
  Trump's don't even sell at the age.
• 1:57:16
  Well horrible. Yeah.
• 1:57:17
  But you look at that kind of team.
• 1:57:20
  Did win a Super Bowl? He did actually played well in
• 1:57:22
  the Super Bowl too with the with the Patriots when they beat the
• 1:57:24
  Rams, but now the last not retired early for a reason.
• 1:57:28
  But nevertheless, this is that offensive line.
• 1:57:30
  This is a defense. This is still something you can
• 1:57:32
  win with in college football and being old school.
• 1:57:34
  So they wanted champagne if they want to Michigan one, that
• 1:57:36
  seemed kind of way obviously, they cheated, which didn't help,
• 1:57:38
  but you could still win with that came.
• 1:57:39
  Same kind of Silent Ohio State. Even though they had, A passing
• 1:57:43
  attack that was Lethal. They still had a running game in
• 1:57:45
  an offensive line that was Lethal first and they just
• 1:57:47
  brought in a transfer quarterback and will Howard.
• 1:57:49
  So, George is trying the same kind of system with their
• 1:57:50
  freshman. We'll see if they do it and they
• 1:57:52
  have it all World offensive line.
• 1:57:53
  They always do it. Always do.
• 1:57:55
  And, and again, another school that always has good defense and
• 1:57:59
  good defensive lineman and good offensive lineman.
• 1:58:01
  And like I said, if you have a good run again, you have to have
• 1:58:04
  a good offensive line. And like I said, they have a
• 1:58:06
  three-headed monster, they can use their running backs and
• 1:58:09
  they've done it multiple times where they have two running
• 1:58:11
  backs on the football field. Either a catch one catching the
• 1:58:15
  ball and one running the ball one blocking for the other guy
• 1:58:17
  in the open field. The Bulldogs I I think are so
• 1:58:21
  unique because they could do so many things they can rotate the
• 1:58:24
  they can rotate their talent and they all so always find and
• 1:58:29
  recruit good tight ends. Go look at the tight ends.
• 1:58:32
  They've brought in one of them is doing pretty well with Vegas
• 1:58:34
  right now we all know what Brock Powers is and they have two good
• 1:58:39
  ones right now. One one that I think a fresh Me
• 1:58:42
  another one. That's a sophomore this year.
• 1:58:44
  Now they do a lot even at the goal line.
• 1:58:45
  A lot of too tight. No, there's they're really good
• 1:58:47
  offensively. I expect Georgia to run all over
• 1:58:51
  Old Miss I can't see even with Lane kiffin there.
• 1:58:54
  I couldn't see Lane kiffin knocking off the Georgia.
• 1:58:56
  Bulldogs, I, I think out of all the teams that are still in
• 1:58:59
  this. I know I'm rooting for Indiana,
• 1:59:02
  but I I know a lot of people think Alabama is going to upset
• 1:59:05
  Indiana. We'll get into that.
• 1:59:06
  Just one second, I think Georgia has the easiest way to the
• 1:59:11
  finals if they not go off Old Miss, I think they have the
• 1:59:14
  easiest way to the finals to whoever they matched up against.
• 1:59:18
  So I just think Georgian Ohio State, you know, outside of
• 1:59:22
  their lost to Indiana, which again the kicker missed the
• 1:59:25
  chips, Chef field goal, the game should have went over time.
• 1:59:28
  Who knows? What would have happened?
• 1:59:29
  Those teams were evenly matched in powered Indiana.
• 1:59:32
  I just think he played that game. 10 times, a thing, Ohio
• 1:59:35
  State wins more than five of them and I think Ohio State in
• 1:59:38
  Georgia, the two best teams in America and I and Ohio State
• 1:59:43
  lost Indiana. We just said Georgia lost
• 1:59:45
  Alabama, then smoked Alabama. In the in the SEC Championship
• 1:59:49
  Game, 28 to 7 Kirby Smart. I that they learned from their
• 1:59:53
  mistakes Old, Miss beat a team that they already beat.
• 1:59:57
  Even if the coaching staff was was gone.
• 1:59:59
  They have the film on what they already did.
• 2:00:02
  You know? That wasn't a hard redo for
• 2:00:05
  them. That's like a coaches, like,
• 2:00:07
  like dream. Oh, I have the script that
• 2:00:10
  worked already. I just have to put some wrinkles
• 2:00:12
  into it. We'll be just fine.
• 2:00:13
  Now, you face Georgia without half the coaching staff Kirby,
• 2:00:18
  Smart. It's going to give them
• 2:00:19
  something. They're not ready for.
• 2:00:20
  I think it's going to be ugly. I think it's gonna be over
• 2:00:23
  pretty quickly. It's gonna be fine.
• 2:00:25
  Watch it. It's gonna know how the bracket
• 2:00:27
  goes. But is it everybody?
• 2:00:30
  Ohio State in Georgia, gets to that finals?
• 2:00:32
  Now for now they were playing, they were playing the
• 2:00:34
  semi-finals so they would last a shame.
• 2:00:36
  Yeah, that would be a crazy. I crazy semi.
• 2:00:39
  What I would, what I've been reading and what people have
• 2:00:41
  been saying to me. Is Georgia.
• 2:00:43
  If they knock off Old Miss, they have the easiest route to the
• 2:00:45
  finals. So I didn't know they were
• 2:00:47
  matched up against if they got to go through Ohio State.
• 2:00:49
  Yeah, they don't receive. That's a problem.
• 2:00:51
  They don't receive that. It's so those are the two best
• 2:00:56
  teams, Indiana or Alabama. Whoever wins that game plays
• 2:00:59
  organ or Texas Tech and then Miami or Ohio State plays.
• 2:01:02
  Oh, Mr. Georgia. All right.
• 2:01:03
  And then there's I wanted to save the the the number one
• 2:01:07
  Indiana Hoosiers as the final conversation that we're gonna
• 2:01:10
  have and Fernando Mendoza who is the Heisman Trophy winner versus
• 2:01:15
  Alaba and Alabama team. That's won how many national
• 2:01:19
  championships in the last 12 years.
• 2:01:21
  And that's six and this isn't Nick Saban, this is the boars
• 2:01:25
  defense and this is going to be an offensively.
• 2:01:28
  This is gonna be an offensive game.
• 2:01:30
  I think they're both going to go out one another, the question is
• 2:01:32
  who, you know, at the end of the game and we've seen the heroics
• 2:01:37
  of Fernando Mendoza, what he can do at the end of the game.
• 2:01:40
  If it does, this come Down to one play.
• 2:01:43
  At the end of the game that either can cost Indiana from
• 2:01:47
  winning a national championship and moving on, and maybe
• 2:01:49
  possibly winning a national championship, a falling short.
• 2:01:52
  And everybody talking about Mendoza being one of the more
• 2:01:55
  overrated Heisman Trophy winners that get knocked out as early as
• 2:01:59
  they did in this this football tournament.
• 2:02:01
  So I don't know, I like mandoza. I thought he was a nice kid.
• 2:02:05
  Everybody's if anybody hasn't read my take on on the Heisman
• 2:02:09
  and how I felt about the Heisman Trophy and the dinner and and
• 2:02:12
  the opportunity that I had over there to interview Mentos, I
• 2:02:15
  thought he was a good kid. I think he fit very well here in
• 2:02:18
  New York. I think he's gonna be starring
• 2:02:20
  the NFL because of his personality and I think he's
• 2:02:23
  he's been he was raised bright. His mom raised him.
• 2:02:26
  His father raised him, right? Right.
• 2:02:28
  And I, it just seems like he in the biggest game, he shows up
• 2:02:32
  and you heard it from his coach at the meeting at the, at the,
• 2:02:36
  at the dinner. After Mendoza moved on, with his
• 2:02:38
  trophy, we got a chance to ask some questions to the coach and
• 2:02:41
  and the Which said there was. There's just something about
• 2:02:44
  this kid at the end of the game. When you want to put it in his
• 2:02:46
  hands or you want him to make a play at the end of the game,
• 2:02:49
  this kid always finds a way to make a play and you can see the
• 2:02:53
  difference and you can see what he did.
• 2:02:54
  Remember, he coached James Madison and now he's coaching
• 2:02:57
  the number one, Indiana Hoosiers for the first time in their
• 2:03:01
  existence, to be number one, and go into a tournament, which is
• 2:03:06
  so wide open and with arguably the best quarterback in the
• 2:03:10
  nation, some people don't believe that another quarterback
• 2:03:13
  believes, he should have won and and and and and and that the
• 2:03:17
  committee stole the Heisman away from him.
• 2:03:19
  I could say the same about Travis Hunter.
• 2:03:22
  Last year, I thought he should have won the Heisman, but a lot
• 2:03:26
  of questions on who should have won and and their arguments to
• 2:03:29
  it, but Indiana and Mendoza has a chance to make a run.
• 2:03:32
  If they not go off. Alabama, like you said, Speedy
• 2:03:35
  Georgia is matched off against Ohio State in the next round,
• 2:03:40
  then I guess Indiana has the Easiest path.
• 2:03:43
  All the way to the National Championship.
• 2:03:44
  Yeah, they would play Oregon or Texas.
• 2:03:46
  Has Indiana was organs, only lost.
• 2:03:48
  I thought I thought that being a Georgia knocked off.
• 2:03:51
  If Georgia, if Georgia knocks off Old Miss that, they would be
• 2:03:55
  matched up against either Oregon or in, or or Indiana.
• 2:03:59
  That's what I don't really see. It's like the NBA Playoffs, they
• 2:04:02
  don't receive just the game based on, who's the higher seed
• 2:04:05
  after that. So the two would automatically
• 2:04:06
  play the three Etc. That's why Notre.
• 2:04:08
  Dame face Penn State six and seven.
• 2:04:10
  It's the same kind of thing if six and seven order to advance
• 2:04:12
  but sevens out now, but it's V6 and 10.
• 2:04:14
  But nevertheless, this is interesting because curious to
• 2:04:17
  see how it Mendoza's. Great obviously Indiana's
• 2:04:20
  running game. I'm curious.
• 2:04:21
  How that's gonna be because Alabama, did a great job of
• 2:04:23
  shutting down the Run of Oklahoma last week and that's a
• 2:04:25
  really good Oklahoma offensive line.
• 2:04:27
  So and then Elijah number one receiver against the Alabama,
• 2:04:30
  secondary that, like you mentioned, I was very good
• 2:04:32
  throughout the year, top 10 fence and played a lot of really
• 2:04:35
  good wide receiving Corps in that SEC.
• 2:04:37
  And Ryan Williams. A guy that Alabama has had a lot
• 2:04:40
  of really good flashes, but he's also Here in a lot too.
• 2:04:43
  Can he play well enough to help out somebody like Ty Simpson?
• 2:04:45
  Because Alabama is running game in offensive line is still going
• 2:04:48
  to be pretty good in this game, but Indiana's defense has been
• 2:04:50
  good to stopping the run as well.
• 2:04:51
  They did. That was a big reason they beat
• 2:04:53
  Ohio state. That was a big reason.
• 2:04:54
  They've won a lot of these tight games at the end of the year.
• 2:04:56
  Where Indiana finally got tested.
• 2:04:58
  I'm curious to see though, this is where because it's New
• 2:05:01
  Year's. You're very curious today.
• 2:05:03
  I don't know, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
• 2:05:04
  It's a long gap between the bowl games, how long, how much it'll
• 2:05:09
  test somebody like her cignetti versus Kayla in Devore, who two
• 2:05:12
  years ago, went to a national championship in Washington, beat
• 2:05:14
  a Texas team that was probably more talented than they were.
• 2:05:16
  And they were able to game plan, it will sign any be able to
• 2:05:20
  counter that kind of thing against somebody like, Alabama,
• 2:05:22
  even without Nick Saban with the bore selling a good coach and
• 2:05:24
  just go to Talent, you know, this game might be for the first
• 2:05:29
  pick in the NFL draft this year between Windows and Simpson.
• 2:05:33
  There are a lot of Scouts that loves Simpson that have him
• 2:05:36
  rated as the top quarterback or had him at mid-season rated as
• 2:05:40
  the top quarterback just because of the things he's able to do.
• 2:05:44
  He's got all of the arm Talent. He sat, he was patient.
• 2:05:48
  He stayed with a program, which is uncommon in the transfer
• 2:05:52
  portal days and look at them. Now, you know, he's got his team
• 2:05:56
  into this position where he gets to play against the Heisman
• 2:06:00
  Trophy candidate the winner if he could beat the Heisman Trophy
• 2:06:04
  winner, how do you not consider him as possibly going over him
• 2:06:08
  in the draft? You'd have to think about it,
• 2:06:11
  pretty hard and I think we're going to start having that
• 2:06:13
  discussion a lot if they can somehow knock them off in this
• 2:06:17
  game. That said, I don't know if
• 2:06:19
  Indiana is going to lose to Alabama.
• 2:06:21
  I think Alabama is a beatable team.
• 2:06:23
  I think Kurt's cignetti is not somebody that you're gonna, you
• 2:06:25
  should doubt. He's proven it at every stop
• 2:06:28
  that. He's been that he is a winner
• 2:06:30
  and not just a winner, a complete ass kicker in Indiana,
• 2:06:34
  hasn't been good like ever man. Like they're, they have been
• 2:06:38
  good. Since the 1960s was the 1967,
• 2:06:40
  they had a share of the Big Ten title was the last time This is
• 2:06:44
  a basketball school. That is Bobby Knight.
• 2:06:47
  This is what the school is. This is not a football school.
• 2:06:51
  And now just in two years, he's been able to take this school to
• 2:06:56
  the to the number one, seed heading into the college
• 2:06:59
  football playoff he gets to buy. Unfortunately, Alabama was
• 2:07:03
  seated the pretty low this year and he gets probably a tougher
• 2:07:06
  matchup than most of the other teams this week.
• 2:07:08
  Oh, well, let's see what he's got.
• 2:07:10
  I, I can't wait to see this one, and I'm really curious to see
• 2:07:14
  one how Signet he plays against Simpson, because I think he's
• 2:07:17
  gonna try to throw a lot of stuff at him.
• 2:07:19
  I think he's the type of coach that is good at scheme and that
• 2:07:24
  building a program, which is not common.
• 2:07:26
  Most guys are good at one or the other.
• 2:07:28
  He might be really good at both, he just hasn't had an
• 2:07:31
  opportunity to his 64. I look at me 64 years old right
• 2:07:34
  now and he's only had, this is his first chance to play at, you
• 2:07:38
  know, at the big really at the big time, and unless you can't
• 2:07:40
  consider James Madison, the big time.
• 2:07:42
  I don't even know they were in the college.
• 2:07:44
  Football playoff, look at him. Now, this guy's gonna be coaches
• 2:07:48
  of the year, he's coaching or two years in a row.
• 2:07:50
  First time, two years in a row, first time that's ever happened
• 2:07:53
  in this first two years at a big time school.
• 2:07:56
  That's like John Calipari in like basketball.
• 2:07:59
  Right NFL teams might look at that.
• 2:08:00
  I mean and think that he can coach in the NFL I obviously the
• 2:08:04
  players drive to him and understand the way he coaches
• 2:08:09
  and he's he seemed pretty down to earth.
• 2:08:11
  When I was there at the press conference he was very down to
• 2:08:14
  earth. All the players were there
• 2:08:17
  celebrating with Fernando Mendoza and you can see that
• 2:08:21
  they loved him and they love the coach as a matter of fact,
• 2:08:23
  during the press conference while they were cheering and
• 2:08:26
  screaming for Mendoza. And when, when the coach went up
• 2:08:28
  there, she speak to the media. The first thing, the coach said,
• 2:08:32
  I enjoy this and enjoy the weekend because on Monday, we're
• 2:08:35
  getting back to work. And every single one of the
• 2:08:37
  players says, you got a coach, they all set it so you can see
• 2:08:41
  that they believe in him and they believe in the way he
• 2:08:44
  coaches, and really drives the players to, to play at is pace.
• 2:08:48
  And and you can see men Dozier even the way he speaks the way
• 2:08:52
  he speaks highly of his teammates.
• 2:08:55
  He didn't say anything bad or offset to make you feel that he
• 2:09:01
  is not being coached right over there in Indiana and you can see
• 2:09:05
  ever since he left and he jumped into the portal and went to
• 2:09:07
  Indiana, he's been a different quarterback and I asked him and
• 2:09:11
  anybody and I still haven't caught it off and Speedy, hasn't
• 2:09:14
  caught it up my interview with Mendoza.
• 2:09:16
  And one of the questions I asked, I said If you were to
• 2:09:20
  recruit somebody to come and play for Indiana football, how
• 2:09:24
  would you recruit him and he laughed?
• 2:09:25
  And he giggled at me? And you looked at me, and he
• 2:09:27
  said, it's pretty simple. And I said, what are you talking
• 2:09:30
  about? He said, well, you can see you
• 2:09:34
  can see the way I've transitioned as a player and the
• 2:09:37
  proof's in the pudding. You see the way Indiana football
• 2:09:39
  is transitioned ever since coaches.
• 2:09:42
  Come here from James Madison, and you can see the way I have
• 2:09:45
  transitioned as a football player, and as a player that
• 2:09:49
  understands the game of football under coach.
• 2:09:52
  And and he says, I would tell anybody to come over here, come
• 2:09:55
  here and play for Indiana football, because to be a
• 2:09:59
  Hoosier and understand what it is to be a Hoosier is what makes
• 2:10:03
  playing football and being a football player here and a
• 2:10:07
  leader here, completely different for every at any any
• 2:10:11
  school or any place I played including Miami.
• 2:10:13
  So it's, he's a remarkable kid. And I think Mandoza understands
• 2:10:20
  what it is to be a young Superstar and a Heisman Trophy
• 2:10:24
  winner. And you can see by the way, he
• 2:10:26
  worded everything, the way he he showed emotion at the press
• 2:10:29
  conference and and just who he is as a person as a teammate and
• 2:10:33
  and how much he loves his coach and how every one of those
• 2:10:36
  players love their coach. I think they're going to play
• 2:10:38
  for their coach, this coming weekend against a very good, a
• 2:10:43
  very good team in Alabama. So all right Our golf clap of
• 2:10:48
  the day. Deserves a golf club.
• 2:10:52
  No doubt of Clan. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:10:59
  it's pretty simple here. My Golf Club of the day is a
• 2:11:03
  record-breaking, Travis Kelce. And some interesting, an
• 2:11:07
  interesting story that came out about Travis Kelce.
• 2:11:10
  Well, here's the story. Historically on Sunday, the
• 2:11:16
  quarterback Gardner Gardner, Minshew gets her, and they bring
• 2:11:21
  in. How do you pronounce his name?
• 2:11:22
  Allah tokens who took over as the quarterback of this team and
• 2:11:27
  his his first pass while he second pass was Travis Kelsey's
• 2:11:32
  800 yard 800 yard this past year which is 12 consecutive season
• 2:11:38
  of 800 yards plus, which is a record.
• 2:11:41
  Breaking its record breaking because the prior to that, the
• 2:11:45
  only NFL player that is accomplished at is Jerry Rice.
• 2:11:49
  He's the only player to ever do that.
• 2:11:51
  Besides Travis Kelce, Jerry Rice was a wide receiver.
• 2:11:54
  Travis Kelce is a tight end so he's the First tight end to do
• 2:11:58
  that consecutively consecutively in 12, straight Seasons, 800
• 2:12:03
  yards, but the story that really makes me want to laugh is the
• 2:12:08
  depth charts and the depth chart was Maine shoe.
• 2:12:12
  Being number one, how do you pronounce his name?
• 2:12:14
  Oh look at, is he is related know, he's not fun.
• 2:12:18
  That's a Lua Ken for. All right for ah he was a
• 2:12:21
  Falcon's third string or something, practice squad.
• 2:12:23
  All right. So alluda kid who is he was he
• 2:12:26
  was second on the depth charts right behind guard, a Minshew
• 2:12:30
  and you know who was third, Travis Kelce was third on the
• 2:12:34
  depth charts to be the quarterback.
• 2:12:36
  If alluded a kid, I got hurt. And what's so interesting about
• 2:12:40
  that is after the game when media came to him and they sold
• 2:12:44
  the depth charts and they saw that Travis Kelce was on the
• 2:12:47
  quarterback depth chart. He asked him, he said how have
• 2:12:51
  you ever played quarterback before?
• 2:12:52
  He says, I did it in high school and he said what makes you feel
• 2:12:55
  that you can be A quarterback in the NFL.
• 2:12:58
  He said, listen, I'm I'm the the number one hope I'm the, I'm the
• 2:13:02
  best. Hope for Kansas City to to get
• 2:13:06
  over the hump of offensively as a quarterback for this roster
• 2:13:09
  and this team. Meanwhile, the story is coming
• 2:13:11
  out by many different sources that him and Taylor Swift are
• 2:13:16
  pregnant. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't
• 2:13:19
  know if that to be true but the story really is is that Travis,
• 2:13:23
  Kelsey is the third string quarterback and this coming
• 2:13:26
  week. If garter mint shoe is not
• 2:13:28
  ready. He is the second string
• 2:13:31
  quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, oh my God, what a golf
• 2:13:35
  Clap, That would be, if he got, he gets the chance to play and
• 2:13:39
  hit. Maybe one of his final football
• 2:13:41
  games as an NFL player, as the quarterback of the Kansas City
• 2:13:45
  Chiefs who would have thought in the start against season for
• 2:13:48
  Patrick Mahomes to Gardiner, men, shoe to alhuda kid to
• 2:13:52
  Travis Kelce. How does that make sense?
• 2:13:55
  And by the way, I want to give Shout out to Travis Kelce
• 2:13:58
  because he's been making his rounds over the last couple of
• 2:14:02
  days on different shows speaking about what it would be like, not
• 2:14:07
  playing with Patrick Mahomes again, and one of the greatest
• 2:14:10
  quarterbacks he's ever played with really.
• 2:14:12
  The only quarterback I could say, besides, you know, Alex
• 2:14:15
  Smith that he played with, but it's, you know, you, you have to
• 2:14:20
  like, Travis Kelce, you can't hate Travis Kelce because of his
• 2:14:23
  personality. And in how, how much praise he
• 2:14:28
  has for the players. He plays with coaches that coach
• 2:14:31
  him and just so much High, Praise the Patrick Mahomes, not,
• 2:14:34
  because of the great things that he's done with him, just the
• 2:14:37
  great person that he is on, and off the field.
• 2:14:40
  I don't think people understanding he said, I don't
• 2:14:42
  think people understand how great of a person Patrick
• 2:14:45
  Mahomes is. And when you get to know him,
• 2:14:47
  you can only understand who he is as a person and how he is to
• 2:14:51
  the fans and the kids and all the people that worship him.
• 2:14:54
  That's what makes him a star and that that's a Sensational
• 2:14:58
  statement, when you see all the great things Patrick Mahomes has
• 2:15:01
  done on a football field. So if this is the final three
• 2:15:04
  games, we see Travis Kelce, this guy's gonna go down as one of
• 2:15:08
  the top three, maybe even top, two greatest tight ends to ever
• 2:15:11
  play the game. And this is a guy that might
• 2:15:13
  have never played college football.
• 2:15:14
  If it wasn't for his brother Jason with all the things in
• 2:15:17
  trials and tribulations, he had, and what he dealt with in
• 2:15:21
  college with drugs and some of the things that he's done on and
• 2:15:24
  off the field and then getting a chance to be drafted by an NFL
• 2:15:27
  team and accomplishing all the things that he's accomplished as
• 2:15:31
  a superstar in the NFL is pretty amazing.
• 2:15:33
  So my golf clap goes to Travis Kelce on.
• 2:15:36
  If this might be the final time we see Travis Kelce as an NFL
• 2:15:41
  football player, what a great career Travis Kelce has and you
• 2:15:45
  have to give him a golf club. So my golf club goes to Travis
• 2:15:49
  Kelce, great career and might be the final time we ever see him
• 2:15:54
  and might see him on a football field is a quarterback one way
• 2:15:57
  or another. Who knows what could happen?
• 2:16:00
  When we come back ladies and gentlemen, he's never been on
• 2:16:03
  the show and it's a very interesting take on this and I'm
• 2:16:06
  I'm gonna pull them up because I this is a baseball player that
• 2:16:11
  has had an interesting career a couple of years in the MLB and
• 2:16:16
  he's going to be joining us. When we come back we will be
• 2:16:18
  talking to former Braves and Cubs pitcher.
• 2:16:21
  Daniel Winkler. He pitched from 2015 to 2019
• 2:16:25
  with the Braves and then from 2020 to 2021 with the Cubs so
• 2:16:30
  it'll be fun when we come back. But first our Sports minute with
• 2:16:34
  the fish Three two. This is the Java and the mouth
• 2:16:39
  Sportsman is. All right guys, Aaron Fishman
• 2:16:43
  here with your Sportsman it got a couple of stories.
• 2:16:46
  Before we get into the scores. This evening, the University of
• 2:16:50
  North Carolina is in the process of hiring former Arkansas,
• 2:16:53
  Razorback, offensive coordinator, and interim, head
• 2:16:55
  coach Bobby Petrino as their offensive coordinator.
• 2:16:57
  Yes, that Bobby Petrino. The one was fired from Arkansas
• 2:17:00
  decade and a half ago is head coach for getting into a
• 2:17:03
  motorcycle accident with a staffer.
• 2:17:04
  He was having an affair with that rebounded to become
• 2:17:07
  Louisville's head coach. When Lamar Jackson was there to
• 2:17:10
  eventually heading back to Arkansas to two years ago as OC
• 2:17:13
  before getting the interim tag this season.
• 2:17:15
  Now, Bill Belichick will replace fired OC.
• 2:17:18
  Freddie kitchens with Petrino in the hopes of turning around.
• 2:17:21
  A much maligned UNC program in Belichick's first season, while
• 2:17:24
  Pitino is no stranger to distractions on the field.
• 2:17:26
  He may be in for a new level, even for him with how Belichick
• 2:17:30
  and his slightly older than College age, girlfriend have
• 2:17:33
  changed that program into. Well I guess Notorious program
• 2:17:36
  publicly than they were ever were with her outside social
• 2:17:39
  media personality, and tendency for publicity stunts.
• 2:17:43
  Either way, it looks like more fun and hijinks on the way that
• 2:17:46
  Tobacco Road. Next year, maybe Petrino we'll
• 2:17:49
  catch his own mermaid and on Sunday future Hall of Famer
• 2:17:53
  Sidney. Crosby passed the legendary
• 2:17:54
  penguin Hall of Famer and former majority owner of the team.
• 2:17:57
  Mario Lemieux franchise scoring record with a goal and assist in
• 2:18:01
  a 4-3 shootout, win against the Canadians.
• 2:18:03
  The two points. Also, moved Syd Tha kyd into 8th
• 2:18:05
  all-time in scoring in NHL history.
• 2:18:07
  After Crosby broke the record a video message played during the
• 2:18:10
  celebration for the old time. Great.
• 2:18:11
  I knew when we played together in 2005 that you were going to
• 2:18:15
  be a very special player and accomplished, a lot of great
• 2:18:17
  things in your career. Maryland's voice, back in from
• 2:18:20
  the Jumbotron, here we are. 20 years later, you are now one of
• 2:18:24
  the best to ever play the game. While as a Rangers Fan, I pretty
• 2:18:28
  much hated Crosby's guts, his whole story career between the
• 2:18:31
  whining to the refs, constantly in his pension, for a little
• 2:18:33
  cheap shots here. And there, made him very easy to
• 2:18:35
  root against. It was also an undeniable fact
• 2:18:38
  that we were always watching greatness with him early in his
• 2:18:40
  career. They compared him, the Gretzky
• 2:18:41
  as a kid and an impossible standard to live up to.
• 2:18:44
  But he did come pretty close. If injuries in sap some of the
• 2:18:48
  speed and strength over the years, who knows what could have
• 2:18:49
  been even this year. That's 2005.
• 2:18:52
  First overall pick is averaging over a point per game with 20
• 2:18:55
  goals, 17 assists only 35 games. Played guys, we are streaming

• 2:20:19
  Miss rpr manager, and Java is a hanging out with the family.
• 2:20:25
  This is a holiday, a holiday week for him.
• 2:20:28

• 2:21:18
  I don't know what's going on, but whenever Daniel Winkler
• 2:21:22
  joins us, we will have them on. It's it's been a crazy one and
• 2:21:27
  by the way, I'm reading all the different posts on YouTube and I
• 2:21:33
  You know, what's funny about Jeff and Jeff.
• 2:21:36
  You obviously, you come in you come out you disappear, you you
• 2:21:41
  show up after six or seven months and you show your ugly
• 2:21:45
  face. And you know what I think is so
• 2:21:48
  funny is as soon as I give my take on Fernando Mendoza and he
• 2:21:51
  doesn't like it, he disappears. And then I got to give Jeff a
• 2:21:55
  little bit of credit because if there's anybody that knows about
• 2:21:57
  college football, it's Jeff. But to say that Fernando Mendoza
• 2:22:02
  is not going to be anything in the NFL, or he's to me or to
• 2:22:06
  him. He thinks he's, he shouldn't
• 2:22:08
  have won the Heisman. I could say about, I could say
• 2:22:11
  the same thing about Travis Hunter who, by the way, Jeff
• 2:22:13
  said should have won the Heisman Trophy last year which he did.
• 2:22:17
  And where is Travis Hunter right now.
• 2:22:20
  Oh, that's right. He barely had a season.
• 2:22:22
  Was not any good this year and look like crap.
• 2:22:26
  So I'm not saying Jeff so always right and there were other
• 2:22:30
  people other linebackers in the league.
• 2:22:32
  I can mention in Arizona, one of them, I don't know if he's still
• 2:22:36
  there, who he thought was gonna the next big thing, even
• 2:22:39
  Collins? Yeah.
• 2:22:39
  How good is Dave and Collins average about, okay?
• 2:22:43
  And I remember when he said, is David, Collins was a first round
• 2:22:45
  talent. I know, was he a first round
• 2:22:47
  Talent? Now, when you look at him, the
• 2:22:49
  answer would be. No, you're not always right
• 2:22:51
  Jeff? Nobody's always right.
• 2:22:53
  And we don't know what these guys are going to turn out to be
• 2:22:55
  go ask, I don't know over 200 draft.
• 2:23:00
  Know, 200, 200 teams, go ask 30 teams with two almost 200 picks
• 2:23:05
  or 145, Pixelmon. Tom Brady was drafted or go back
• 2:23:09
  in time, Russell Wilson, who was drafted in the third round and
• 2:23:12
  look out. Look how he turned out to be.
• 2:23:14
  I mean there are quarterbacks and there are players that have
• 2:23:17
  been drafted over the years, drafted in a later rounds that
• 2:23:20
  become something. So, I don't know.
• 2:23:22
  I don't know why he thinks, man, does it isn't going to be good
• 2:23:25
  and maybe he's right. Maybe men Dozer isn't doesn't
• 2:23:29
  turn out to be good and maybe as a Jeff fann, I don't want to
• 2:23:31
  see, or take a chance to see if he fails here in New York.
• 2:23:35
  But would I saw At the at the Heisman Trophy dinner and and my
• 2:23:41
  interview with him and my conversations with him and his
• 2:23:45
  teammates. I think he's special, I think
• 2:23:47
  he's gonna fit here in New York like a glove either with the
• 2:23:50
  Giants or the Jets or maybe even Vegas if they just somehow gets
• 2:23:55
  the number one pick or if they're they fall out of the top
• 2:23:58
  three right now and fall. If they beat the Giants and fall
• 2:24:02
  out and fall to seven or eight wherever they fall behind the
• 2:24:05
  New York Jets and they want to move up to jump to one with the
• 2:24:09
  Giants. I I could see him do very well
• 2:24:12
  with Vegas as well. I think the opportunity and the
• 2:24:15
  possibilities that this kid has, as a young Superstar quarterback
• 2:24:19
  is very high. And I I just like his
• 2:24:22
  personality, it fits. If he goes to us a city that
• 2:24:26
  doesn't have a good fan base. I think he'll be better but has
• 2:24:29
  a big fan base, like New York. I think he'll fit very, very
• 2:24:32
  well. He because he's got the
• 2:24:33
  personality like an Eli Manning. I think he's very quiet.
• 2:24:38
  He's very strategic on how he attacks the questions and he
• 2:24:41
  understands what the media will how the media will judge him.
• 2:24:46
  If he uses the wrong presentation or the wrong
• 2:24:50
  answers to the questions, I think he's very good at that.
• 2:24:54
  I think he fits here in New York.
• 2:24:55
  No question. You have mentioned that you
• 2:24:58
  mentioned the leadership. When you were talking to me on
• 2:25:00
  the phone when we were at the Heisman Trophy and I think it
• 2:25:02
  probably fits the mindset of. But, dude, like I said, I I got
• 2:25:06
  to give Jeff a little bit of credit because he has been right
• 2:25:09
  sometimes on players. And if they and I always go to
• 2:25:12
  Jeff when it comes to college players because he bets on them.
• 2:25:16
  So he knows the inside sources of these players.
• 2:25:20
  And, and, and he also worked in, I think insurance for insurance
• 2:25:26
  for ya College athletes. I think Tennessee was his first
• 2:25:28
  stop and then he wrote around the SEC.
• 2:25:30
  So he knows, he knows college football.
• 2:25:33
  So, whenever I'm trying to get information about a certain
• 2:25:36
  college football player. Here, I'm going to Jeff but the
• 2:25:41
  the attacks that and I would say he attacked Fernando Mendoza,
• 2:25:44
  but he tells me Fernando Mendoza.
• 2:25:46
  I see that we have our guests in.
• 2:25:47
  So don't worry about it, guys. I'm going to introduce them in
• 2:25:50
  just a second. I want to finish my take here.
• 2:25:52
  I I think Fernando Mendoza has an opportunity to become a star
• 2:25:58
  player in this league because of his personality, he's got the
• 2:26:01
  ability to step into the pocket. He has the ability to throw
• 2:26:04
  outside of the hashes and he can do things on the run that other
• 2:26:08
  quarterbacks can't do in the NFL right now and he's very
• 2:26:11
  accurate. He's one of the more accurate
• 2:26:13
  quarterbacks in college football today.
• 2:26:15
  So to say that he can't succeed or become an elite quarterback
• 2:26:21
  in his League. I think that's crazy.
• 2:26:22
  Again, only time will tell Hey so he's in ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:26:27
  for the first time on job in the mouth job is not with us as of
• 2:26:31
  right now but we are now talking to former Braves and Cubs
• 2:26:34
  pitcher. Daniel Winkler Daniel, what's up
• 2:26:38
  buddy? What's up guys?
• 2:26:42

• 2:27:42
  he's enjoying the, the holidays, with his family.
• 2:27:45
  And we are talking to former Braves and Cubs pitcher.
• 2:27:48
  Daniel Winkler, Dan before we get into the Brazil season in
• 2:27:52
  the Cubs. So I'll season I I do.
• 2:27:55
  You see yourself coming back to the majors?
• 2:27:56
  Do you see yourself playing again in the MLB?
• 2:27:59
  And what if you've been doing since your 2000 21 season with
• 2:28:05
  the Cubs? Yeah.
• 2:28:07
  I would love to but I don't think I got too many gray hairs
• 2:28:11
  now. I don't think one old guys
• 2:28:12
  anymore. So how old are you?
• 2:28:15
  What do you mean old guys? Sailed, I look Up.
• 2:28:18
  Yeah, I'm I'll be 36 in a couple months, come on.
• 2:28:22
  So I always thought I'd played till 40.
• 2:28:24
  I played with Jason Greeley who played.
• 2:28:26
  I think he was 42 when he retired.
• 2:28:28
  So I thought that was gonna be me but Wasn't in the cards I
• 2:28:33
  mean, sometime maybe if there's coaching or something, I'd like
• 2:28:35
  to get back, I got three small kids.
• 2:28:37
  So I like spending time I spent 12 years, you know, running all
• 2:28:42
  over the country. So it's nice to be home and take
• 2:28:46
  the kids to school and pick him up from school every now and
• 2:28:48
  then. All right, so why don't we go
• 2:28:49
  into the offseason first with the Braves and the bravely
• 2:28:54
  signed their shortstop in and he's he looked pretty good in
• 2:28:58
  the second half of the Season. Pretty good Defender can hit for
• 2:29:01
  average. The Braves, I would have thought
• 2:29:04
  and they have a great Farm. Since they always have a great
• 2:29:06
  farm system, they always find a great pitcher in the farm system
• 2:29:11
  and we see what a coon is turned out to be when healthy.
• 2:29:15
  He's one of the more dominant two dual threats in the major
• 2:29:19
  League's. Why do you think the Braves
• 2:29:22
  haven't put, or spent the money that a lot of other teams have
• 2:29:27
  spent over the last couple of years?
• 2:29:28
  Oh, that's a good question. Um, and in one that I've never
• 2:29:34
  really thought of because I think Atlanta being a bigger
• 2:29:38
  Market, they probably have the money and the funds to do so,
• 2:29:40
  you know? And it feels like when was the
• 2:29:44
  last time they spend money, maybe for their first baseman,
• 2:29:47
  when they tried to Freddie away. Yep.
• 2:29:49
  So yeah, yeah. You know, I don't know, I don't
• 2:29:53
  know if that's something to do with their ownership.
• 2:29:55
  You know, their ownership is public.
• 2:29:57
  So that has the bottom line has something to do with that, you
• 2:30:01
  know? So think that, like, you
• 2:30:02
  mentioned earlier, they are so good with their farm system.
• 2:30:05
  I played with all those guys Riley, Acuna Ozzy.
• 2:30:10
  All this guy's when they came up and they were, you know,
• 2:30:13
  nobody's and then really, so they're really good at that.
• 2:30:16
  Maybe they feel like that's a good spot for them and a good
• 2:30:18
  place to be and they, you know, don't have, don't want to put
• 2:30:22
  the resources towards somebody else.
• 2:30:25
  I want to ask him the pitching injury standpoint, something
• 2:30:27
  that's affected the Braves, it affected a lot of different
• 2:30:29
  teams. There was a report last year
• 2:30:30
  about like all the different factors to why these pictures
• 2:30:33
  are getting much more. Elbow, injuries, more Tommy,
• 2:30:35
  John surgeries in general, like obviously you playing with a lot
• 2:30:38
  of those pictures there that have dealt with it like what do
• 2:30:40
  you think is the biggest factor is Virginia development or
• 2:30:43
  training that it hurts these pictures?
• 2:30:44
  Yeah so you know the last year I spent working on a place called
• 2:30:48
  drive on baseball drive on you know, pretty big and the way to
• 2:30:53
  ball scene and you know, performance what I'll say is I
• 2:30:57
  think it's it's kind of the culture.
• 2:31:00
  It is, you know like you were jobs on the line.
• 2:31:03
  There's there's such a small margin to throw harder and
• 2:31:06
  that's kind of those are the guys who get contracts, right?
• 2:31:09
  The guys who throw harder the guys who have the best stuff.
• 2:31:12
  So you are always going to try every offseason to throw order
• 2:31:15
  be better, be stronger. And that's just kind of the the
• 2:31:19
  environment that they set up. So I think those are injuries
• 2:31:22
  are just a condition. Of what the game is and and I'm
• 2:31:28
  not sure. It's a bad thing.
• 2:31:30
  In a way it's just kind of, you know, as a player you just kind
• 2:31:32
  of accept it. It's just how it is.
• 2:31:34
  You have Tommy John, you're out of year to come back and
• 2:31:37
  hopefully you don't have to do it again.
• 2:31:39
  As everybody knows, we're talking to former Braves and
• 2:31:43
  Cubs pitcher, Daniel Winkler pitch for the Braves from 2015,
• 2:31:46
  to the 2019 and he pitched for the Cubs from 2020 to 2021,
• 2:31:52
  Daniel the fact, the fact is I I don't get it.
• 2:31:58
  Chris sails, he has one of these all-time great Seasons.
• 2:32:02
  He's a great pitcher, and then he gets her, I mean, obviously,
• 2:32:06
  the way he throws the ball, a lot of people question.
• 2:32:08
  The way his release point and a lot of people say, he puts a lot
• 2:32:12
  of talk on his arm and his elbow.
• 2:32:14
  But when this guy is on point, this guy is one of the best
• 2:32:17
  pitchers in baseball, the Boston Red Sox decided to part ways
• 2:32:21
  with him because he couldn't stay healthy.
• 2:32:23
  The Braves bring him in to fill in with some of the to give him
• 2:32:27
  some depth after. You know, Max freed went to the
• 2:32:31
  New York Yankees. Why do you think Chris Sale just
• 2:32:35
  turned into the Superstar picture?
• 2:32:36
  He wants was when he came when he went to the Boston Red Sox.
• 2:32:41
  Yeah, I think change of scenery, always, you know, I think
• 2:32:44
  sometimes as fans maybe forget that they're humans that, you
• 2:32:49
  know, sometimes changing sceneries can be good for guys
• 2:32:52
  and I think Chris Sale grew up in Florida or in the South.
• 2:32:56
  So I think Atlanta was kind of a HomeTown team and Atlanta is
• 2:33:01
  good for that. I mean the Braves fans are
• 2:33:04
  amazing, they're very welcoming and the dude is nasty.
• 2:33:08
  You know, I think the problem wasn't him on the field.
• 2:33:12
  It was just keeping him on the field.
• 2:33:13
  Right coming to Atlanta. just was a really good thing for him
• 2:33:19
  and and you know, I think that probably helped him Um you know,
• 2:33:24
  pitch better, like I said, the guys, this disgusting, I
• 2:33:28
  remember watching him. I was used to try to hang out in
• 2:33:32
  the Dugout as much as possible and watching him like firsthand.
• 2:33:34
  He's just disgusting, he's not just good stuff but he's
• 2:33:39
  deceptive and you know there's lots of guys out there that have
• 2:33:42
  just nasty stuff but if you're going to also make it look just
• 2:33:47
  you know like not like everyone else makes really good and
• 2:33:51
  that's why he's as good as he is now.
• 2:33:53
  You say deceptive what what as a picture now everybody asks well
• 2:33:57
  what makes a picture so deceptive.
• 2:33:59
  When you watch Chris Sale obviously release Point what
• 2:34:02
  makes his pitching style so deceptive.
• 2:34:05
  Yeah I think he hides the ball really well.
• 2:34:08
  You don't see the ball until you know, almost every release
• 2:34:12
  point. A lot of hitters will say, you
• 2:34:14
  know, I remember when I was teammates with Chris Brown and
• 2:34:16
  he would talk about, you know, how he would look into a window
• 2:34:20
  and if it was coming out of the window he knew, Whether to swing
• 2:34:23
  at it or if it was going to be a ball and Chris Sale, is the guy
• 2:34:27
  that you can't really, you know, look out of a window.
• 2:34:29
  It's kind of more. You gotta just, there's no other
• 2:34:32
  left-handed pitchers that throw like him.
• 2:34:35
  So these hitters are so used to seeing certain guys, that are at
• 2:34:39
  a certain arm, angle that throw different stuff, and he's not
• 2:34:42
  like those guys and then he's throwing, you know, 100 from
• 2:34:45
  that angle with a Wipeout. Slider, the Deception comes from
• 2:34:48
  hiding, and then all. So he's unlike anybody else.
• 2:34:51
  That's, you know, in baseball uniqueness.
• 2:34:53
  And somebody said, another nasty picture over there with the, the
• 2:34:57
  Braves is Spencer Strider. And this guy is for, everybody's
• 2:35:02
  fantasy, team went healthy. This guy is, his dominant, is
• 2:35:05
  any pitcher we've seen? And, and when he's at the top of
• 2:35:09
  his game and he's healthy, you can compare him to some of the
• 2:35:12
  best pictures, the screwball, the school bulls, and all the
• 2:35:16
  other guys that we mentioned, what makes Spencer Strider, so
• 2:35:20
  good and why can't this kid stay healthy?
• 2:35:23
  For a full season. It's been two years.
• 2:35:25
  Why can't this kid? Stay healthy.
• 2:35:26
  That's a great question. The quads probably making so
• 2:35:30
  good. And the quads are probably the
• 2:35:31
  reason why I can't say healthy. Not, you know, I think we talked
• 2:35:37
  about earlier. How you put so much stress on
• 2:35:39
  the arm and his stuff is so nasty throws so hard.
• 2:35:43
  He's so strong from what I hear, you know, they can squat the
• 2:35:47
  house. So I think he's just putting so
• 2:35:50
  much torque and so much pressure on his arm and his whole body.
• 2:35:55
  Now, I think he the other thing from what I've heard is he is
• 2:36:00
  pretty religious about stretching being mobile.
• 2:36:02
  Those kind of things, so I would Expect him to be healthier than
• 2:36:09
  he is. And, you know, the Tommy John
• 2:36:11
  those kind of things, they seem like freak things more than More
• 2:36:16
  than they should be. So hopefully in the future stay
• 2:36:20
  healthy. And, you know, be maybe three,
• 2:36:23
  four, five years down the road leading to a couple World
• 2:36:26
  Series. So Ronaldo cunha on and off the
• 2:36:29
  field. Obviously, on on the field, he's
• 2:36:30
  been fantastic. When he has been healthy deal
• 2:36:32
  with a bunch of major leg injuries.
• 2:36:34
  Unfortunately, in recent years, but off the field.
• 2:36:36
  Is sometimes spawn some controversy.
• 2:36:37
  To, with we've seen with tattoos.
• 2:36:39
  We've seen a lot of the other guys that have been Slayer.
• 2:36:41
  There was a tension with his manager.
• 2:36:42
  This year of Brian, Snicker, who is kind of more of an old school
• 2:36:45
  guy and Benson for a few games because of that like what type
• 2:36:49
  of Personality was a cunha and do you have any good stories of
• 2:36:51
  them? Yeah.
• 2:36:52
  Ron is the best really good teammate, really?
• 2:36:55
  He loves baseball. Um, you know, I think that's one
• 2:36:58
  thing. I'll always remember of Ronnie
• 2:37:02
  just loved to come in and just be at the baseball field and
• 2:37:05
  talk baseball. You know, the only good story
• 2:37:08
  that I have, like I said, when I was 2015, I came over.
• 2:37:12
  I actually had Tommy John, all those guys were in the GCL so
• 2:37:15
  they were in rookie ball and I remember watching Ronald hit BP
• 2:37:20
  and they were talking know, they got signed for 10,000 dollars
• 2:37:23
  and it just sounded different off his Bat.
• 2:37:26
  The guy was Just hitting nukes like 500 foot homers and, you
• 2:37:31
  know, I was like, everyone was saying this kid's gonna be
• 2:37:33
  something someday and it wasn't, you know, a year or two.
• 2:37:37
  He was number one Prospect the top 100, those kind of things.
• 2:37:41
  So I think everybody knew once they laid out on it that he was
• 2:37:46
  going to be some special. And yeah, I think he that's why
• 2:37:49
  him and snit. Kind of like you said, it's old
• 2:37:52
  school. He came from Bobby, you know, I,
• 2:37:54
  I butted heads with him, a little bit too.
• 2:37:56
  You know, I he's so old school and and Ronnie does to.
• 2:38:00
  He just wants to play the game. He wants to have fun and enjoy
• 2:38:03
  his time, and it's hard, like, 162 games, you're the face of
• 2:38:07
  the franchise, those kind of things.
• 2:38:08
  So, you know, when when that happened out, I wasn't as
• 2:38:12
  surprised because they are personalities, do class a little
• 2:38:14
  bit, but I think Smith and Ronald, you know, behind the
• 2:38:17
  scenes, have such a good relationship, I think it's just
• 2:38:20
  kind of in the media. Those kind of things he needs to
• 2:38:22
  kind of I don't want to say, teach him a lesson but he had to
• 2:38:26
  do something about it. We are talking to former Braves
• 2:38:29
  and Cubs pitcher. Daniel Winkler pitch Forum 2015
• 2:38:33
  to 2019 with the Braves and 2020 to 200021 with the Cubs.
• 2:38:41
  We look at the catchers in the league and there's a lot of
• 2:38:44
  great or good catchers, but there's only like three Elite
• 2:38:49
  ones. And you've had, you've you've
• 2:38:54
  thrown to a couple of good ones over there with the Atlanta
• 2:38:56
  Braves. Is there a particular catcher
• 2:38:59
  now because I there was a catcher that was just traded to
• 2:39:03
  the Boston, Red Sox, pretty good one.
• 2:39:07
  Is there a specific catcher that you like to throw to?
• 2:39:11
  And why did you like to throw it to throw to him at any point of
• 2:39:16
  your career? Yeah.
• 2:39:18
  You know, to come to mind the new A's Angels manager Curt
• 2:39:24
  Suzuki. I love throwing the zoo.
• 2:39:26
  I think Zuck and I had a really good relationship.
• 2:39:29
  I don't know what it was about him.
• 2:39:32
  Maybe just kind of a smaller Target, you know, when I was
• 2:39:35
  throw the flow, he was such a big Target back there.
• 2:39:38
  Like that aim small Miss small kind of thing.
• 2:39:40
  And then Willie, you mentioned. Now, I love throwing a Willie.
• 2:39:44
  Willie was so good because He again maybe it might be that aim
• 2:39:51
  small Miss small, but he he tell you how it is, you know of like
• 2:39:54
  hey this is what we're gonna do. This is what we're gonna do it.
• 2:39:57
  You're gonna go execute and then you go back and when we do it
• 2:40:01
  and I love that kind of kind of, you know, style from my catcher.
• 2:40:05
  Like he knows what we're gonna do.
• 2:40:07
  He's been in the game so long. So I really like to throw to
• 2:40:11
  Wilson and Craig guy. I hope, you know, he does some
• 2:40:14
  special things over in Boston, see I threw curveball at you
• 2:40:17
  because I knew you threw to willson Contreras.
• 2:40:19
  And we have some Boston family, that are big.
• 2:40:22
  Boston, Red Sox fans, what type of player is willson Contreras?
• 2:40:28
  What type of player? Well, like I said, he's very I
• 2:40:36
  don't say Stern, but he knows. How to play the game in, he
• 2:40:40
  knows. What he wants to do and he's one
• 2:40:46
  of those guys that also loves to play the game.
• 2:40:48
  A lot of the Dominican guys Venezuelan, guys like those guys
• 2:40:52
  love playing baseball. I just saw a video of la de la
• 2:40:55
  Cruz playing pickup baseball and you know, just wherever.
• 2:40:59
  So those guys love playing baseball, that's what I love
• 2:41:02
  about. You know, William Ronald those
• 2:41:04
  guys Javi, was another guy that comes to mind.
• 2:41:07
  So I think of Wilson like that and always smiling always like
• 2:41:12
  welcoming and, you know, he was I remember when I came over,
• 2:41:17
  everyone was saying he was not that good with the pitching
• 2:41:19
  staff one, but when I come came over, he was, he was great.
• 2:41:22
  He, yes, turn a good question. He was always into the scouting
• 2:41:29
  reports, those kind of things he was very welcoming So I think
• 2:41:33
  he's probably been to a few teams now and he kind of is that
• 2:41:36
  veteran status, she knows what he needs to do, he's gonna pick
• 2:41:40
  up where he needs to, you know, kind of be in I think he always
• 2:41:44
  knows his Bat is what's going to keep him in a lot of as well and
• 2:41:48
  on the field. So he's he's good for that too.
• 2:41:52
  So you actually were managed by another catcher too.
• 2:41:55
  And David Ross, when you were at the COS it was first two years
• 2:41:57
  and he was fired a couple years ago after they decided to spend
• 2:42:00
  a lot on Craig counsell. Which maybe that was, we'll see.
• 2:42:03
  But I always thought Ross was a smart guy.
• 2:42:05
  He was a loved by that Cubs World Series team.
• 2:42:07
  As the third string catcher in 2016, I always thought he was
• 2:42:10
  going to be a manager at some point.
• 2:42:11
  Just made a lot of sense. But what was he like?
• 2:42:13
  And obviously you comparing with Snicker, who said was very old
• 2:42:16
  school and stern was like, personalities of X player, being
• 2:42:19
  a manager. How was that different?
• 2:42:21
  Yeah, you know, I love both. Those guys, you know, But like
• 2:42:25
  you said totally different, the way they manage.
• 2:42:28
  When Rossi came over, he had his locker room right next to the
• 2:42:33
  clubhouse. And it was more of like, seeing
• 2:42:38
  not heard kind of style and Rossi, was, you know, he had
• 2:42:42
  your back and that was for me, that's just kind of player I was
• 2:42:46
  Like I wanted to know that you had my back and Ross was really
• 2:42:50
  good about putting you in in situations where you can
• 2:42:52
  succeed. And I just if you didn't
• 2:42:56
  succeed, you know, he came over. He told you why he did this kind
• 2:43:00
  of stuff. So, I think Rossi will be a
• 2:43:04
  manager again. Someday, I was hoping it'd be
• 2:43:06
  with the brave. I think they're in, you know,
• 2:43:09
  the Braves are in, good hands of Walt.
• 2:43:10
  You know, another players coach as well.
• 2:43:13
  I will as a bench coach when I was with the brave.
• 2:43:17
  So I think Rossi will be successful wherever he goes.
• 2:43:20
  I was kind of bummed when the Cubs let him go.
• 2:43:23
  Thank you. Did a really good job.
• 2:43:24
  I think he he's more of a leader of people and so I'd be excited
• 2:43:30
  to see where he lands in the future.
• 2:43:32
  And you know what that play, how that plays out, I guess.
• 2:43:36
  All right, so I want to, I do want to get into the Cubs but I
• 2:43:40
  want to go into the league and what is it about?
• 2:43:44
  People and fans and even players attacking managers.
• 2:43:48
  Now, there's one over here in New York and Aaron Boone.
• 2:43:51
  A lot of fans don't like Karen. I don't know why.
• 2:43:54
  I mean, the guy wins. He hasn't won a World Series and
• 2:43:58
  it's not very easy to win a World Series.
• 2:43:59
  Yankees, have a World Series since 2009 go watch.
• 2:44:02
  Hey, rods documentary, it's not easy.
• 2:44:05
  And usually the Yankees, and I don't know if you can remember,
• 2:44:09
  you can pick a team right now. That's had winning season after
• 2:44:13
  winning season after winning season in the Yankees, the
• 2:44:15
  Yankees have won 35 winning seasons.
• 2:44:18
  I think it's 35 or 34 winning seasons.
• 2:44:20
  I have had a losing season since 93, and as a lot to do with
• 2:44:25
  management, it has a lot to do it on a ship.
• 2:44:28
  It do you could you tell me why fans have their own thoughts
• 2:44:33
  about managers? Now they're not in the Dugout.
• 2:44:35
  They don't know how they managed you or they don't know how they
• 2:44:38
  call a game, but for some reason, if they don't like the
• 2:44:41
  manager, they don't like Ally calls a game or they don't like
• 2:44:44
  that. He follows analytics.
• 2:44:45
  Why is it that fans or even some players?
• 2:44:49
  Don't like the analytically Sound Manager that is going and
• 2:44:55
  is going to reach out to the booth and and they're going to
• 2:44:58
  give you the analytic answer to every single equation.
• 2:45:01
  Yeah. You know, I think the fear of
• 2:45:04
  when you hear like that analytics is there that they're
• 2:45:06
  kind of a puppet, you know, from the players standpoint, you
• 2:45:11
  know, is, is the GM or whose calling the shots actually.
• 2:45:14
  And I think there's a Nostalgia, or whatever you want to call it
• 2:45:19
  of, kind of that old school, baseball.
• 2:45:21
  Thank you. You want the manager to call the
• 2:45:24
  game? Those kind of things, but
• 2:45:26
  there's so much behind the scenes that you don't see what's
• 2:45:28
  going on on, you know, when you're in between the lines as
• 2:45:31
  we call it, You see what happens there and you don't know, all
• 2:45:36
  the planning. All the, you know, these guys
• 2:45:39
  like Rossi was a great example. When we were in the bullpen, we
• 2:45:43
  would have blocks of. Hey, you know, if we get to this
• 2:45:46
  block of hitters, you know, three, four, five, and it's
• 2:45:50
  going to be the six to seventh inning, you're going to pitch in
• 2:45:53
  the city. And, and so, like that plan, and
• 2:45:55
  all that kind of stuff. Those guys men, they'd stay till
• 2:45:58
  one. Two, eight, two a.m. in the
• 2:46:00
  morning and they'd be there at 9 or 10 in the morning, the next
• 2:46:03
  day. So like, you know, I think it's,
• 2:46:06
  it's hard to ever as somebody who's played to ever, like be
• 2:46:11
  hard on a manager because I know how much goes into it.
• 2:46:14
  Those guys don't want to suck, they don't want to go only when
• 2:46:18
  60 games or, um, everyone's trying to do their best but you
• 2:46:23
  know, I don't know. Why fans are.
• 2:46:24
  I think it's just because, you know, you see what goes on on
• 2:46:27
  the field and then there's also perception, I think the world is
• 2:46:31
  perception. As well as one of those is like,
• 2:46:34
  how are you perceived? So right managers are probably
• 2:46:37
  like, you know, this is how I see this guy and this is, you
• 2:46:41
  know, but that may not be what's going on.
• 2:46:44
  So, yeah, I don't know if that answers the question, but that's
• 2:46:48
  kind of my thought know. And it's interesting to me
• 2:46:51
  because as a fan, and if you don't realize, I'm a Yankee fan.
• 2:46:55
  And my perception of my team is, is not to attack the manager or
• 2:47:02
  the GM is the tech they players. The players got to go out on the
• 2:47:04
  field and do their job and if they're not doing their job, the
• 2:47:07
  first person that's going to be pointed to is the manager.
• 2:47:10
  It's just so happens, even if you're not bad and you're not
• 2:47:13
  hitting, who's getting fired, they hitting coach, that's what
• 2:47:16
  happens. It might not be the hitting
• 2:47:18
  coaches problem, or it's not his full, but if they're not
• 2:47:21
  hitting, they got a point to finger at somebody.
• 2:47:22
  They can't Point their finger out.
• 2:47:24
  The player that's got a five-year 200 and 250 million
• 2:47:27
  dollar contract. So to me, that's the way I'm
• 2:47:29
  going to attack it. And if I'm running an
• 2:47:32
  organization, Mission as a GM. That's the only way I can attack
• 2:47:35
  in. Unless I'm going to trade that
• 2:47:36
  player and who's gonna want them, if he's not hitting, you
• 2:47:40
  know what I mean? Like Anthony Volpe.
• 2:47:42
  Now when you see a guy like Anthony Volpe, that sometimes
• 2:47:46
  watching him, he's got kind of shake your head.
• 2:47:49
  How does a Gold Glove winner two years ago, throw the ball over
• 2:47:53
  the first baseman? And how does a gold glove type
• 2:47:57
  of player? Do the stupid things that he
• 2:47:58
  has, done on the football on a baseball field.
• 2:48:00
  And you kind of wonder why he is doing this and maybe he's
• 2:48:04
  mentally confused or maybe it's just mental when they say
• 2:48:08
  baseball is is 50% mental. What is what is it, what do they
• 2:48:13
  mean by that? 50% mental, why are they
• 2:48:16
  mentally drawn? Why do they forget how to throw
• 2:48:19
  the ball to first base or second base or third base or to the
• 2:48:23
  counter? Because chuck knoblock had me
• 2:48:26
  shaking, my head. Every single time I watched a
• 2:48:29
  play for the New York Yankees, this guy wins gold gloves over
• 2:48:33
  there with the twins, he comes to the aches and All Aboard he
• 2:48:37
  throws, he launches the ball out and where the fans sit, I mean,
• 2:48:41
  that doesn't throw it to The Dugout.
• 2:48:42
  It made no sense to me or I'm watching his mom.
• 2:48:45
  Exactly. Or, and watching Anthony Volpe.
• 2:48:48
  Do that. He kind of gets me wondering why
• 2:48:50
  did they say it's 50%? Mental, well, why is he
• 2:48:53
  confused? How to throw the ball to first
• 2:48:54
  base? Yeah.
• 2:48:55
  I think Market matters like that's a big pressure market,
• 2:49:01
  right? Yeah.
• 2:49:02
  He's all on you all the time. No matter what.
• 2:49:06
  You're, you know, you're talking about that but, you know,
• 2:49:09
  there's such a small margin like I think I mentioned earlier
• 2:49:12
  between these guys and you know, if you can get it here, You can
• 2:49:19
  succeed if you lose it a little bit up here, I'll break loose,
• 2:49:22
  right? And I don't get that.
• 2:49:23
  How do you lose it? How do you lose it up there?
• 2:49:26
  How does how do you go from a guy that wins?
• 2:49:31
  It doesn't make sense. I don't get it.
• 2:49:32
  How do you lose it? All of a sudden just forgot.
• 2:49:35
  Hey, you know I can't throw it at first Pace.
• 2:49:36
  I lost it. I don't get it right to fail.
• 2:49:38
  You know that one time you failed.
• 2:49:41
  I think I always I'm a big book guy but there's a book about
• 2:49:48
  golfers. You know, when Justin Thomas and
• 2:49:52
  Jordan Spieth and these guys are coming up and they're Fearless
• 2:49:55
  going for it and somebody looks to the tiger and they're like,
• 2:49:58
  just give him time. They'll fail, you know, and
• 2:50:01
  they're the experience that fear.
• 2:50:03
  I think that's kind of what I see when I watch both his kind
• 2:50:07
  of like, he's got it there. It's kind of like that fear of
• 2:50:10
  failure. Oh, I've thrown it away.
• 2:50:11
  I've heard this before. It's got like, well I don't want
• 2:50:14
  to mess up again, you know, I don't want to be that guy that
• 2:50:16
  lets the team down and it's Too much into his head and he thinks
• 2:50:20
  about it too much. You know, I lived that my last
• 2:50:23
  year with the Cubs I gave up 12 runs and all I got one out my
• 2:50:26
  last week with in the big league and it was more of like Hey
• 2:50:29
  we're not anymore. Like how can I'm just worried
• 2:50:33
  about not giving up runs, just trying to get to the town of
• 2:50:36
  Olympic into the off season and that's kind of what I see with.
• 2:50:38
  With like instead of hey I'm gonna go get this, it's more of
• 2:50:42
  like all men. I don't want to f up and you got
• 2:50:44
  the fans booing in his ear and the fence.
• 2:50:47
  I have so many fans that are that used to be Volpe fans.
• 2:50:51
  This guy at one point, some people thought was the future of
• 2:50:55
  the New York Yankees with Aaron judge.
• 2:50:56
  And the, there's got to be somebody that's going to when
• 2:50:59
  judge retires. There's got to be somebody
• 2:51:01
  that's going to take over for Aaron judge.
• 2:51:03
  And everybody thought it was Anthony Volpe.
• 2:51:05
  They loved him in in the farm system in Trenton, and then he
• 2:51:10
  comes up. And now, the fans are already
• 2:51:12
  already willing to part ways with the kid.
• 2:51:14
  Oh, he's done. He give up on him.
• 2:51:16
  He's 23. 24 years old because he had a bad season.
• 2:51:19
  He couldn't throw the first base.
• 2:51:21
  He couldn't double play. Can't throw double play,
• 2:51:23
  couldn't hit. He was batting one. 90 at some
• 2:51:26
  points of the Season, even though the average player major
• 2:51:29
  in the major league right now is batting to 25.
• 2:51:31
  I mean, there's nothing that tells me that you got to give up
• 2:51:35
  on this kid, but every Yankee fan.
• 2:51:36
  And every single person that I know, and I spoke to says,
• 2:51:39
  vaaste on get rid of him, he's got it.
• 2:51:41
  Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say, I think, you know, the and I'm
• 2:51:46
  sure the Yankees don't feel that way.
• 2:51:47
  Either, you know, I think you patience and sports, you know,
• 2:51:51
  is is a good thing, you know, I certain time, you know, he gets
• 2:51:55
  so many. I think what it's kind of that.
• 2:51:57
  What have you done for me lately, right culture, right.
• 2:51:59
  But I don't, I mean, I don't know won't be that that well I
• 2:52:06
  played with you guys or on the Yankees off to ask them, you
• 2:52:09
  know, what kind of, you know, maybe he's gonna show up to
• 2:52:13
  spring training this this year with like, you know, chip on the
• 2:52:16
  shoulder. Yeah.
• 2:52:17
  That's what I'm saying. Like, the Yankees.
• 2:52:19
  Can you know if they piss you off?
• 2:52:21
  And you're like, hey, I'm gonna prove all you guys wrong.
• 2:52:22
  That's one thing, and that's its kind of the personality.
• 2:52:26
  Clay Holmes is a good friend. He came in to New York, he was
• 2:52:29
  like, I'm gonna prove everybody, right?
• 2:52:31
  You know, the, the Pirates did me did me wrong, like the
• 2:52:35
  Yankees stock, go to me and like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm
• 2:52:38
  gonna show people. And so, I think a personality
• 2:52:40
  when they come to New York, like you got to have that certain
• 2:52:44
  type of personality to play. And in that City, Very
• 2:52:49
  interesting. I am.
• 2:52:52
  I'm rooting for the kid. I want the Yankees to keep the
• 2:52:55
  kid. I want them to hold on to the
• 2:52:57
  kid and I think he has the opportunity to really succeed
• 2:53:00
  this year. I just I I saw the what are they
• 2:53:04
  call those bats, they changed the bats, the torpedo, the
• 2:53:07
  torpedo bats and and he started hitting the beginning of the
• 2:53:10
  season and he couldn't hit a lick and he couldn't hit for
• 2:53:12
  average and Yankee fans were like you could change it back
• 2:53:15
  but you can't change a bad speed and I I just I hate when the
• 2:53:20
  Yankee fans just turn on players.
• 2:53:22
  I watched, I watched the documentary on Alex barriers and
• 2:53:25
  we're gonna talk about that next week where I just I gave my take
• 2:53:29
  on and watching that documentary, it gives me an
• 2:53:31
  understanding of who Alex Rodriguez, was he just wanted to
• 2:53:34
  please the the fans more than he wanted to please himself.
• 2:53:38
  And it really bothered me because the Yankee fans didn't
• 2:53:42
  really give him an opportunity to succeed as a Yankee player
• 2:53:45
  because they were all about Derek Jeter.
• 2:53:47
  They were all about the other guys and saying that Alex was
• 2:53:50
  not a real yankee which didn't make any sense.
• 2:53:52
  Because he and I don't think people understand that Alex when
• 2:53:57
  he was coming up on that contract, it wasn't him.
• 2:53:59
  It was somebody else. And we know who it was, that was
• 2:54:02
  trying to renegotiate a deal for from more money.
• 2:54:06
  And Alex was the guy that was kind of questioning.
• 2:54:09
  This is not the proper time during the World Series to spin
• 2:54:13
  the wheel and make the deal in and drop this during the World
• 2:54:16
  Series. And it was just to me.
• 2:54:18
  I think it was other people that really hurt Alex because Alex
• 2:54:23
  just didn't know how to speak for himself and the fans got in
• 2:54:27
  a way of that too, because the fans just didn't like him
• 2:54:30
  because, oh, he cheated or he did steroid.
• 2:54:32
  So did everybody else and that goes to my final question with
• 2:54:35
  you. This is a good question.
• 2:54:37
  You're a former player. You understand the game?
• 2:54:41
  Alex Rodriguez. Barry Bonds.
• 2:54:46
  Roger Clements. And they're all guys right now
• 2:54:50
  in the Hall of Fame. That it's that, right?
• 2:54:51
  I don't care what anybody says, they were they were doing
• 2:54:54
  steroids too. Do you believe?
• 2:54:57
  that these guys, Being caught. Being prosecuted by The Writers.
• 2:55:03
  Do you believe as a player? In the new age of baseball, do
• 2:55:08
  you believe they should be in the Hall of Fame?
• 2:55:10
  Yes, or no. I do, I do think they should be,
• 2:55:16
  you know, I think. Very bonds is a great example.
• 2:55:19
  Have you ever have? You looked at his numbers, like
• 2:55:22
  his numbers are the stupidest thing that like they're so
• 2:55:29
  ridiculous. You know, his slugging
• 2:55:31
  percentage a few years were was a good Ops like an Elite Ops.
• 2:55:36
  Yeah, like 900 slugs didn't do that for him. you know, I think
• 2:55:41
  a lot of people will say the same thing like, A lot of people
• 2:55:45
  were doing it, then it wasn't technically banned, you know, it
• 2:55:49
  was, but they were weren't testing for it.
• 2:55:54
  So yes, I do believe that they should be an Alex artery is like
• 2:55:57
  the guy's a baller. I mean, he's legit.
• 2:56:00
  Yeah, look at these stats. A pretty pop some of these he
• 2:56:05
  was intentionally walk like five times, one year with basically
• 2:56:08
  something ridiculous like that. It's ridiculous numbers.
• 2:56:11
  He's ridiculous. And and by the way, you might
• 2:56:14
  not like Barry Bonds. And I know the right is hated
• 2:56:16
  him just like Albert, Belle, Albert Belle.
• 2:56:18
  If you go and look at Albert Belle's numbers for seven years
• 2:56:22
  span, I, there's very few people that can be compared to Albert
• 2:56:27
  Belle. That man should be in the Hall
• 2:56:29
  of Fame dog, man, and he should be in the Hall of Fame.
• 2:56:31
  Keith Hernandez should be on the whole thing.
• 2:56:33
  And those guys I just mentioned didn't we're not accused for
• 2:56:37
  steroids, but Mike Piazza even though he was never accused.
• 2:56:42
  Here, there are a lot of people that question, Jeff Bagwell.
• 2:56:45
  Another guy with big forearms just completely shrunk.
• 2:56:48
  After his career, he's in the Hall of Fame.
• 2:56:51
  I mean, I could go on and on and on if guys that are in the Hall
• 2:56:55
  of Fame, right now that shouldn't be there and because
• 2:56:58
  they were not finger pointed because I don't know.
• 2:57:01
  Bud Sealy didn't like Alex Rodriguez was not too fond of
• 2:57:05
  him as a player. He would never allow him to go
• 2:57:08
  to the Hall of Fame. I think it's just a joke.
• 2:57:09
  And I think obviously the commissioner of, you know,
• 2:57:12
  baseball and I I'm not gonna say anything because I say enough on
• 2:57:16
  this show, but I I tell the truth, I think the fact here is
• 2:57:20
  when you watch baseball and if you love the game at baseball,
• 2:57:23
  you have to understand greatness and greatness.
• 2:57:25
  I don't think we'll ever see an Alex Rodriguez again.
• 2:57:28
  I don't think we'll ever see a Barry Bonds again.
• 2:57:30
  I don't think we'll ever see Roger Clements again.
• 2:57:32
  So how are they not in the hole of Fame?
• 2:57:35
  It makes no sense. You need Andy Pettit did human
• 2:57:40
  growth hormones to stay on the field and Will never be inducted
• 2:57:43
  into all the famous one of the greatest playoff pictures we've
• 2:57:45
  ever seen. Okay, it's pathetic and I just
• 2:57:49
  think baseball Bud, sealing allowed it and he's in the Hall
• 2:57:52
  of Fame. Why aren't these guys in the
• 2:57:54
  Hall of Fame and he allowed it and he was going on.
• 2:57:57
  So that's just my opinion. But touche.
• 2:57:59
  Mr, Winkler. We love you, man.
• 2:58:01
  Let's get you on the show. Again, I'll have Nathan reach
• 2:58:05
  out to you. Have Speedy reach out to you,
• 2:58:07
  but you gave us some some great takes.
• 2:58:10
  And if you ever decide to come back to the major League's, make
• 2:58:13
  sure that we're the first show that you interview with because
• 2:58:17
  I know we got the person out of these like, girl, as we always
• 2:58:21
  say, girl, that's liquor. He is the ass.
• 2:58:24
  Liquor is not on the show tonight, but one of these days
• 2:58:27
  when you come on next, you'll get have a conversation with Mr.
• 2:58:31
  Ass Lucker himself but we love you.
• 2:58:33
  Keep up the good work and merry Christmas.
• 2:58:35
  Happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa. Whatever you celebrate.
• 2:58:38
  Say hello to the family and we'll talk to you soon.
• 2:58:40
  Bye. Merry Christmas down.
• 2:58:42
  Appreciate y'all. Thanks for having me.
• 2:58:43
  Daniel Winkler ladies and gentlemen, his take To the Hall
• 2:58:48
  of Fame. Steroids and steroids players
• 2:58:51
  should be in the Hall of Fame. I absolutely agree with them.
• 2:58:54
  Interesting, take to it. And this is a guy that was in
• 2:58:59
  the has been in the game over the last five to ten years.
• 2:59:01
  So he's a player that is been around it and understands it and
• 2:59:06
  has seen the situation for what it is.
• 2:59:08
  And why is David Ortiz in the Hall of Fame when he was on that
• 2:59:11
  Mitchell list? Why is he in the Hall of Fame?
• 2:59:14
  Because he was loved, he was beloved.
• 2:59:16
  Come on, guys, let's be honest here.
• 2:59:19
  It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
• 2:59:21
  How how baseball? And how these writers make a
• 2:59:26
  choice or make a decision? Well, you know, like him and you
• 2:59:28
  are, well, we've had a Hulk on the show and Hulk is going to be
• 2:59:32
  voting now and he already said he will put Barry Bonds.
• 2:59:34
  Roger Clemens Alex Rodriguez all in the Hall of Fame.
• 2:59:38
  Alex Rodriguez is a top three player of all time, of all time.
• 2:59:43
  And I loved Alex Rodriguez. I don't care what the fan said
• 2:59:47
  about him. I met Alex Alex was very
• 2:59:49
  gracious. He had a great personality and
• 2:59:52
  he understands the game, he loves the game, he was and Derek
• 2:59:55
  Jeter on that and I we will talk more about this next week but
• 2:59:59
  Derek Jeter said on that documentary who was on that
• 3:00:01
  documentary, very surprised Derek Jeter agreed to be on that
• 3:00:04
  documentary. Derek Jeter, was there
• 3:00:07
  practically every episode in Spoke very highly of Alex
• 3:00:11
  Rodriguez. There were some things that he
• 3:00:13
  said before and after the situation the arguments and and
• 3:00:18
  and why they at one point we're not talking to each other.
• 3:00:22
  But Derek Jeter said, one very interesting thing about Alex
• 3:00:26
  Rodriguez that I think fans need to understand.
• 3:00:29
  Alex was never a beloved player. Because in in New York in the
• 3:00:35
  New York Yankees fans Minds, he wasn't a Yankee.
• 3:00:38
  But he said what Alex Rodriguez did In the time that he was at
• 3:00:44
  the top of his game. I don't think you'll ever see a
• 3:00:47
  Yankee. Do that again?
• 3:00:48
  So that's from Derek Jeter. A person that had his ups and
• 3:00:53
  his Downs with a rod and now I guess are still friends with
• 3:00:57
  each other and they work on a fox with each other.
• 3:00:59
  And I think Alex Rodriguez is the best analysts in the in the
• 3:01:04
  game right now. As far as going breaking down
• 3:01:07
  baseball, and understanding the game of baseball, he's the guy I
• 3:01:10
  want to listen to on that panel. I don't want to hear David
• 3:01:12
  ortizo. I sometimes don't understand
• 3:01:14
  what he's saying and I don't want to hear Derek Jeter because
• 3:01:16
  it's good as Derek. Jeter was as a player.
• 3:01:18
  He never explained to himself like a player.
• 3:01:22
  Would try to explain a specific statistic or a play on the
• 3:01:28
  field. Alex Rodriguez gives you the x's
• 3:01:31
  and the O's and he understands the game a little bit better.
• 3:01:33
  I think he'd be a great manager. I think he'd be a great owner.
• 3:01:36
  He's an owner right now with the Timberwolves and I think Alex
• 3:01:39
  Rodriguez, there's a little bit more credit than Yankee fans,
• 3:01:43
  really give him and that's why I wrote that story, go check it
• 3:01:45
  out on the worldwide sports radio network and I checked out
• 3:01:48
  Alex versus A-Rod. I its I said the way Alex
• 3:01:53
  Rodriguez was portrayed by fans and I feel bad that the way Alex
• 3:01:58
  Rodriguez felt about himself from all his trials and
• 3:02:02
  tribulations and all the problems.
• 3:02:03
  He had with his family and you know, his father leaving him and
• 3:02:07
  just feeling uncomfortable being in his shoes as a player, I felt
• 3:02:13
  bad for him. It really is.
• 3:02:14
  I heard, you know, I'm sure Java.
• 3:02:16
  Who knows Alex a little bit better than we do.
• 3:02:18
  Has his own take to and I'm gonna, I'm interested to hear
• 3:02:21
  what job is gonna say when we do speak about this, because he was
• 3:02:25
  there when Alex Rodriguez had that run in 2009, he was a part
• 3:02:30
  of that team and he saw the greatness of Alex Rodriguez when
• 3:02:33
  he came back and he dominated and remember the Yankees at that
• 3:02:36
  time. They were one of the worst teams
• 3:02:38
  in the American League when Alex Rodriguez came back from that
• 3:02:41
  hip surgery and if it wasn't for Alex Rodriguez making that run,
• 3:02:45
  he was the Yankees won. 70% of that.
• 3:02:47
  Game's when Alex Rodriguez came back that year in 2009, just
• 3:02:51
  think about it. Seven deep percent, but a rod
• 3:02:54
  came back. So it's it's a pretty pretty
• 3:02:57
  amazing statistic. When you're you're comparing
• 3:03:00
  greatness to a player and what one player in baseball could do
• 3:03:03
  to a team as we see what's going on with Aaron judge.
• 3:03:06
  Let's go into inside baseball. Now, let's go deep deep inside
• 3:03:11
  baseball. A lovely Sandro.
• 3:03:19
  Ass liquor, you want my cream pie.
• 3:03:21
  Start off inside. Baseball the right way by
• 3:03:26
  talking about some New York baseball.
• 3:03:28
  We're gonna talk a little bit about probably gonna talk about
• 3:03:31
  half of them. Yes, I'm sorry.
• 3:03:34
  Have the Mets earlier today? Ship the way, Jeff McNeil City
• 3:03:39
  Oakland Athletics, for a rookie ball, pitcher and cash
• 3:03:43
  considerations going to the A's. Meaning McNeil is basically
• 3:03:49
  being paid to play for another team.
• 3:03:52
  That's what the Mets think of him at this point in his career.
• 3:03:57
  That's just the latest in subtractions from the Mets
• 3:04:03
  roster. This offseason we're gonna talk
• 3:04:06
  about who they've added that seemed to be from their cross
• 3:04:09
  town rival in a second. So stay away from that will get
• 3:04:12
  to that in the next segment. This but, Man, you gotta think
• 3:04:17
  there's got to be some kind of big swing coming from Stearns
• 3:04:21
  after everyone's being jettisoned here, I know Speedy
• 3:04:25
  is a matte fan and I I definitely want to hear his take
• 3:04:28
  to it, but we've seen this before with bats.
• 3:04:31
  They let these guys go they go to a team and they completely
• 3:04:35
  just become Stars again and McNeil he at one point was a
• 3:04:40
  great defender and he was a decent hitter.
• 3:04:42
  I mean, he hit for average very well at some parts of his career
• 3:04:45
  over there. They did this with Daniel.
• 3:04:47
  What's his name? Daniel Murphy, Daniel Murphy,
• 3:04:50
  went to the Nationals, and was very successful there.
• 3:04:53
  I could see that with McNeil. But what's interesting to me is
• 3:04:56
  the New York Mets have been known to Bringing guys that you
• 3:05:00
  never heard of, you know, prospects from all other
• 3:05:03
  organizations. I know this is this is Stearns
• 3:05:05
  and we'll see how this bold, well, when it comes to the A's,
• 3:05:09
  and some of the prospects because the Yankees have sent
• 3:05:11
  prospects did he is and they've never amounted to anything.
• 3:05:14
  I'm gonna tell you this right now.
• 3:05:16
  I will believe I've never heard of these prospects that they got
• 3:05:19
  or the main Prospect and I think they're going to fall flat on
• 3:05:23
  their face. McNeil is going to become a
• 3:05:25
  pretty good player for the A's and the A's are going to move
• 3:05:28
  them to the Yankees at the trade deadline and he's gonna be a
• 3:05:32
  player that the Yankees could put at their Pace or second base
• 3:05:35
  because Jazz just goes down. I think the Mets are going to
• 3:05:39
  regret doing this. I do believe that.
• 3:05:41
  Yeah, it's inevitable when it seemed like Laurie Polanco's
• 3:05:45
  contract, who is a better player at this point but they don't
• 3:05:47
  want to spend all that money all at once in the infield,
• 3:05:50
  obviously they're not paying me into anything but the door now
• 3:05:52
  trading for Simeon and then paying Polanco.
• 3:05:54
  Now, like, look at Seattle, I know and Polanco's he had like,
• 3:05:58
  two, good years with the twins. Offensively had a good year.
• 3:06:00
  Last year was picking the playoffs, so them, but is it
• 3:06:02
  notice Lee Street he player throughout his career.
• 3:06:04
  So I don't know how much I trust it.
• 3:06:06
  Now McNeil's been that same kind of thing too.
• 3:06:08
  When he's been kind of pull ball happy, he hasn't been the type
• 3:06:11
  of hit her overall Buck Showalter his first year changed
• 3:06:14
  that kind of thing in 2022 and according about Title.
• 3:06:17
  But he's been pull happy again. So what offense you're gonna get
• 3:06:20
  out of it is another question, but I always like the
• 3:06:22
  versatility with him. He's been improved as a
• 3:06:24
  defensive outfielder, so I'm surprised.
• 3:06:26
  They did it for this small. I was, I was thinking, they
• 3:06:28
  might shop him and see what they get.
• 3:06:30
  Do you believe, do you believe that Nimmo and McNeil had their
• 3:06:34
  problems with Lindor and soda? Because that's the story right
• 3:06:37
  now. The locker room, they were kind
• 3:06:40
  of split apart and what I heard is Nimmo and Soto did not get
• 3:06:45
  along and I know Nimo and McNeil were very close.
• 3:06:48
  Do you believe that maybe the Mets were just trying to get rid
• 3:06:52
  of the poison or just get these guys out of there because they
• 3:06:55
  wanted to make their Superstars happy.
• 3:06:57
  I think that makes more sense because she just throw away
• 3:07:01
  nimos. A pretty good player and then
• 3:07:05
  and send them the Texas and then give me Neil away for nothing.
• 3:07:08
  Prospect, we never even heard of, I think they're to me the
• 3:07:12
  Metro reaching here. Yeah, it's interesting because
• 3:07:14
  that memo Alonso and MC. Those are the core that came up
• 3:07:17
  in, 2019, before Lindor. And oh, by the way, I forgot
• 3:07:20
  Pete. Alonso is no longer with the
• 3:07:21
  right either. That's the core that came up
• 3:07:23
  before they traded for Lindor in 2021.
• 3:07:25
  Now Lindor, obviously being named the captain of the team, I
• 3:07:28
  guess, maybe that has, I guess some say in it, I just hope they
• 3:07:32
  have a better plan B with the money if they're going to get
• 3:07:34
  rid of McNeil's contract. Because, again, it wasn't a
• 3:07:36
  great contract, it seemed like a good one at the time.
• 3:07:38
  When actually, it was after that signed it after he won the
• 3:07:40
  batting title and it still wasn't much at the time but he
• 3:07:42
  fell off badly offensively. And again, his defense is
• 3:07:45
  improve but again it's not like it's like this guy's a gold
• 3:07:47
  glove caliber Defender and that's where I think they better
• 3:07:50
  turns better of a good better plan B with that kind of money.
• 3:07:53
  So you know, I heard the memo thing and I almost did a
• 3:07:57
  sportsman at a week ago. When I first started, I decided
• 3:08:00
  not to want to see if it plays out in.
• 3:08:03
  What I heard is that it was political nonsense that they
• 3:08:06
  just didn't agree politically. And I I just don't understand
• 3:08:09
  why that's something that's going on in the locker room.
• 3:08:11
  I guess that's something that teams have to navigate these
• 3:08:14
  days but the jet, the Jets, the Mets, just getting rid of
• 3:08:19
  everybody. I guess they're trying to reset
• 3:08:22
  around their stars that they spent all their money on.
• 3:08:25
  If Jeff McNeil is making 17, do you think it's a coin key dank?
• 3:08:29
  And I say that a lot. Do you think it's a kinky dank
• 3:08:32
  that Soto was there for one year and there are three players,
• 3:08:35
  their players are now gone after one year.
• 3:08:37
  Come on man. Something tells me there was
• 3:08:40
  something not working in that locker room.
• 3:08:42
  Because how do you let you heard like, soda and Lindor?
• 3:08:45
  Don't really get along either. So I I never heard that because
• 3:08:50
  they train in the offseason with each other.
• 3:08:52
  So like it's just not approachable.
• 3:08:54
  I don't know, I don't want to speculate.
• 3:08:56
  I used to teach in the Bronx. If you act, you know, it was
• 3:09:00
  like a big deal if you accidentally called a Puerto
• 3:09:02
  Rican kid Dominican or a Dominican kid.
• 3:09:04
  Puerto Rican doesn't always work.
• 3:09:06
  Those two those two groups just saying I have been in those
• 3:09:11
  communities but he never know. I do hope that they get it
• 3:09:15
  together because this isn't seem like they're doing anything
• 3:09:17
  special other than signing a bunch of former Yankees.
• 3:09:22
  This off season, they've added both Devin Williams and Luke
• 3:09:27
  Weaver, the closers for the Yankees for the last two
• 3:09:32
  seasons. I don't know if you asked me.
• 3:09:38
  As a Yankee fan. What was the weakness of the
• 3:09:41
  team? I would say.
• 3:09:43
  Late eating bullpen. Yet the Mets and Stearns they
• 3:09:49
  they're watching, they're just they're just carving up, you
• 3:09:52
  know, like licking their chops. Oh my God, look at look Weaver,
• 3:09:56
  he's tipping his pitches, we'll fix them, he's gonna be great,
• 3:09:59
  what a great value, I'll get just like I did in Milwaukee and
• 3:10:03
  oh Devin Williams, I had him in Milwaukee, I can fix him, he
• 3:10:07
  throws. There's great spin rate on his
• 3:10:10
  change up still I, I don't know, Errol.
• 3:10:14
  I thought they were two of the worst late inning relievers in
• 3:10:17
  all of baseball last year and it's why the Yankees weren't
• 3:10:20
  good enough. You tell me my question, to All
• 3:10:23
  You Met fans is how did Clay Holmes work in the second half
• 3:10:28
  of the Season? Yeah, that's what I want to
• 3:10:31
  know. Because clay Holmes was a
• 3:10:33
  reliever for the New York Yankees, a closeout one point,
• 3:10:35
  and for the first half first month month and a half, he was
• 3:10:38
  Unstoppable Untouchable and just like the Yankees in the second.
• 3:10:42
  Half falls off as a starter and was nothing and eventually
• 3:10:46
  during the playoffs, the Mets, moved him to the bullpen he
• 3:10:49
  stinks. And I'm, I like Luke Weaver.
• 3:10:52
  I like him. I I like what he did with the
• 3:10:54
  Yankees two years ago, but he was really bad this year and
• 3:10:57
  Devin Williams, he did not fit well with the Yankees.
• 3:11:00
  As far as the bullpen is concerned, especially in New
• 3:11:03
  York, maybe Bella going back to the national league and playing
• 3:11:06
  against the national league type of talent.
• 3:11:08
  I don't know what it is, but what I do know is this is
• 3:11:12
  typical. This is very MetLife for them to
• 3:11:16
  take a Yankee or a bunch of Yankee players and bring them to
• 3:11:19
  the Mets and think that they could fix them.
• 3:11:21
  One Soto, he's a special player. There's no question that he is
• 3:11:25
  and he had a very good season. One Soto, couldn't get the Mets
• 3:11:29
  over, the hump one Soto with Peter, Alonso playing the way he
• 3:11:33
  was with for Lindor, playing at some aspects at the top of his
• 3:11:37
  game. Couldn't get over in the hump.
• 3:11:39
  What makes them think Devin Williams?
• 3:11:41
  And Luke Weaver is gonna get them there too.
• 3:11:44
  So I think it's a joke. I think it's very Stern's.
• 3:11:47
  Like I gotta I've got a motion for this.
• 3:11:50
  I got something from that. Fans could use.
• 3:11:53
  Now if it doesn't work, I did a Stearns.
• 3:11:55
  Yeah, it seems like he's trying to obsess with these types of
• 3:12:00
  hybrids at this point. I think, clay Holmes overall,
• 3:12:02
  for the Mets last year was a net positive compared to what they
• 3:12:06
  had but yet still not the ideal of like, okay, you want to sign
• 3:12:08
  all these big signings and give him double digit money per year.
• 3:12:11
  When you have this Uncle Steve, you know, when we spend money, I
• 3:12:14
  always bashed him for not going after the younger starting
• 3:12:17
  pitcher like in their prime, or in their Prime starting,
• 3:12:20
  pitcher, doesn't have to be an All-Star level like school, But
• 3:12:21
  maybe two of the next tier of type of guys, and yet, they're
• 3:12:24
  selling for all these guys at this point, I don't really like
• 3:12:27
  the strategy. Either Weaver was good.
• 3:12:28
  As a starter for one year at the Cardinals and one year as a
• 3:12:31
  reliever Yankees came over did well.
• 3:12:33
  But again two streaky for my liking so I'm not crazy about
• 3:12:36
  it. All right.
• 3:12:37
  Well, let's move on the next. Major topic is going to shift a
• 3:12:43
  little bit. So the other side of New York to
• 3:12:46
  the Bronx, where it appears the Yankees.
• 3:12:49
  Just think they're good enough. As is right now.
• 3:12:53
  Let's lose both of our again, not so great.
• 3:12:57
  Late evening relievers, we kept. I believe we kept Paul Blackburn
• 3:13:02
  is that right? Is that the Chase Blackburn was
• 3:13:07
  the former giant who just got fired as a special teams coach
• 3:13:10
  but you know, that's who the that's that was the big move.
• 3:13:14
  They got some other flyers. They're they're poking around
• 3:13:18
  the edges. Kyle Tucker sitting out there,
• 3:13:21
  Cody Bellinger still sitting out there.
• 3:13:24
  I you think that they're going to be in on at least one of
• 3:13:27
  them. What, in God's name?
• 3:13:30
  Are they waiting for though? Because it appears that they
• 3:13:35
  think that they're fine. And this is one of those like,
• 3:13:40
  Things that makes you go crazy about Cashman things to make me.
• 3:13:43
  Go guys. Remember that song things to
• 3:13:46
  make me go? Hmm no I don't remember.
• 3:13:49
  That's you don't know. See CNC Music Factory.
• 3:13:51
  You never heard that song. All right, remember it.
• 3:13:54
  No, if I heard it maybe once or twice it was remember it.
• 3:13:58
  I would have been like negative 11 years old but I I do think
• 3:14:02
  you're not that much younger than me buddy.
• 3:14:04
  So CNC Music Factory 90s 90s hit like Oh, all right.
• 3:14:11
  We'll look it up. At during the break.
• 3:14:13
  The inaction of the Yankees is obviously one of the stories
• 3:14:18
  right now. What are they doing?
• 3:14:20
  It just makes me think that they, they're too smart for
• 3:14:23
  their own. Good over there and all the guys
• 3:14:27
  in the windowless room. Another tow job keeps on the
• 3:14:30
  hamster. That that's the most I've gotten
• 3:14:32
  from job all night. Another tow job.
• 3:14:35
  Oh, this makes my pecker hard, um, here's the thing, I think
• 3:14:40
  the Yankees are waiting, they're sitting on it.
• 3:14:41
  They're gonna spin the wheel and make the deal if Cody Bellinger
• 3:14:45
  is not signed by January 1st. And remember spring trading is
• 3:14:50
  right around the corner and I pitchers and catchers are going
• 3:14:53
  to be meeting in February. I think the Yankees think that
• 3:14:56
  they can get Cody Bellinger on the cheap.
• 3:14:59
  Maybe safe himself, 10, 15 million.
• 3:15:01
  I think that's what Holly is doing, how sitting Pat and
• 3:15:04
  seeing how other teams are going to attack this.
• 3:15:07
  And usually, after the New Year, these This is when these players
• 3:15:11
  get signed, I think that's what's going on right now.
• 3:15:14
  I think the Yankees will sign one or the other, it seems like
• 3:15:17
  it's going to be Cody Bellinger because I think he wants to be a
• 3:15:20
  Yankee and him. And Aaron judge have become very
• 3:15:23
  close friends. Their wise, have become close
• 3:15:26
  friends, so I could see that happening.
• 3:15:29
  But Kyle Tucker is not going to be a Yankee.
• 3:15:31
  You can tell I, I mean, you can book that house number to coming
• 3:15:35
  out and saying what he said recently about the Deferred
• 3:15:38
  money and the fact that the Yankees are trying to save it
• 3:15:42
  and that money is going in the wrong.
• 3:15:44
  Places tells me that Holly is not going to take deep into his
• 3:15:48
  pockets for Kyle Tucker. Cody Bellinger makes a lot of
• 3:15:52
  sense. It's going to be either the
• 3:15:53
  Yankees in the Mets. I I would push more to then
• 3:15:56
  match to get Cody Bellinger but if the Mets strike out, I don't
• 3:16:00
  think Cody wants to play for the Mets.
• 3:16:02
  I think he would rather play for the Yankees so I think that's
• 3:16:05
  the only way. If the Yankees give Cody ten
• 3:16:08
  million dollars less and Cody wants to be Yankee.
• 3:16:11
  That's the only way he stays again.
• 3:16:12
  I don't know what's going on with the Yankees.
• 3:16:14
  Maybe the Yankees, see themselves, bringing Spencer
• 3:16:17
  Jones or Spencer Jones. She's gonna have A higher rating
• 3:16:22
  of opportunities early this season to be up in the big leaks
• 3:16:26
  that's about it. That's the only thing I could
• 3:16:27
  say. Yeah.
• 3:16:28
  And also since obviously since the Mets trade in McNeal now
• 3:16:30
  that Outfield void is definitely could be there for Bellinger
• 3:16:33
  too. There's gonna be the first base
• 3:16:34
  void at the endosis and play there so they met you think
• 3:16:36
  could overpay for Bellinger the Yankees.
• 3:16:38
  I agree. They're trying to play smart
• 3:16:39
  Brian Cashman, trying to get that same kind of combined
• 3:16:42
  value. And like, Brian Hook was saying
• 3:16:43
  last week are the Yankees, trying to, like balance it out
• 3:16:47
  where they know, like maybe one free agent is gonna win
• 3:16:48
  everything because I'll go to really bad second, half of the
• 3:16:51
  year. He was benched in certain games
• 3:16:52
  during August, and I think the Yankees and I think I heard the
• 3:16:55
  Dodgers too are not willing to give him a seven year deal.
• 3:16:57
  So it'll be interesting to see how that shifts the market.
• 3:16:59
  Maybe, I think, I've always said he goes back to the Cubs.
• 3:17:01
  Maybe that helps him like the Cubs.
• 3:17:03
  Get in there. He helps his team with the Blue
• 3:17:04
  Jays, get in there. I know.
• 3:17:05
  We're interested in him too, but I agree.
• 3:17:07
  They Ballinger seems more like the Mets than the Yankees.
• 3:17:08
  I will say this, I want to give a shout out to Philip Rivers
• 3:17:11
  again, 14 for 21, 100 and 176 yards, two touchdowns, no one to
• 3:17:16
  deception 175. I mean, this is a guy that
• 3:17:19
  hasn't played In five years and is playing this.
• 3:17:23
  Well, it's pretty, that's pretty amazing.
• 3:17:26
  Uh, Steve White not a Hall of Famer, all right?
• 3:17:30
  Your dinner with him will be great in 2030.
• 3:17:32
  Oh, please. I, how could you not say this
• 3:17:35
  guy? So, before we move on, I'm just
• 3:17:37
  saying if, before we move on the Kyle, Tucker slender Speedy.
• 3:17:40
  I have some more inside information about that because
• 3:17:43
  I've been a Kyle Tucker owner in fantasy in my my Dynasty League
• 3:17:47
  that I do. And what he did is the baker
• 3:17:51
  Mayfield thing. Errol where Baker Mayfield
• 3:17:54
  played in Cleveland with the bad shoulder.
• 3:17:57
  And played poorly and they gave him no respect for, gutting it
• 3:18:01
  out. When no one else would step up
• 3:18:02
  to the plate like that riches and Kyle Tucker play with a
• 3:18:06
  broken hands, didn't complain about it.
• 3:18:09
  He played like crap for about a month and a half two months, got
• 3:18:13
  a little bit better as it healed, he should have had
• 3:18:15
  surgery. He should have came back late
• 3:18:17
  season and they probably would have had a better record because
• 3:18:20
  he was an absolute, you know, like hole in the lineup.
• 3:18:22
  When before we know where fish wants us players in the league
• 3:18:26
  during the first half of the season.
• 3:18:28
  So whoever gets him is getting, you know, if he's a depressed
• 3:18:33
  asset, I'd be all in on that one.
• 3:18:35
  I I personally think he's a much better player than Cody
• 3:18:38
  Bellinger. I would take him before him,
• 3:18:40
  like every time it is younger, he had better stats, he's had
• 3:18:46
  better stats, I just the younger by year, Cody's had the back
• 3:18:50
  injuries. Back Stone Age.
• 3:18:51
  Well you know, give me give me like a fluke.
• 3:18:54
  A hand injury versus a bad back but we'll see how it goes.
• 3:18:58
  There are some trades and you mentioned one let's revisit that
• 3:19:01
  one. By the Red Sox get in their
• 3:19:04
  catcher willson controls love heads, two boss in, here's the
• 3:19:09
  deal and a trade with the Cardinals.
• 3:19:12
  The Red Sox car, first base, and Wilson Contreras.
• 3:19:14
  The second big deal between the teams.
• 3:19:16
  This winter conference 303 years old is a right-handed hitter.
• 3:19:21
  One of the better gloves at the catcher position in the league
• 3:19:25
  Elite. They're going to Red Sox here
• 3:19:27
  and get 8 million. Million dollars to cover the
• 3:19:29
  remaining, 42 and a half on his contract.
• 3:19:33
  The Red Sox also send back Hunter Dobbins, as well as
• 3:19:37
  right-handed. Pitching prospects guy that I'm
• 3:19:40
  not gonna try to pronounce his name of and Blake Aida to the
• 3:19:44
  Cardinals. So again that Sonny Gray deal is
• 3:19:48
  the earlier deal with Boston, which, I mean, we thought was
• 3:19:52
  just just a hilarious landing spot for Sonny.
• 3:19:56
  Good luck, have his battery mate catching him.
• 3:20:00
  Now I don't know if that's a coincidence I would be willing
• 3:20:03
  to bet. It's not What do you think?
• 3:20:06
  I like willson Contreras, I think he's gonna be very good
• 3:20:09
  for the Red Sox. He's hit very well against the
• 3:20:11
  Yankees when he's played against the Yankees.
• 3:20:13
  I'm not saying that's why they brought him through the to
• 3:20:16
  Boston, but I think it has a lot to do with Sonny Gray.
• 3:20:18
  They want to make sure that Sonny Gray is comfortable
• 3:20:21
  pitching in Boston and Sonny Gray at some point.
• 3:20:25
  I mean, he could be there an opportune guy this year, and
• 3:20:28
  that's what they estimate him to be, if he's playing at the top
• 3:20:31
  of his game. Now, I I again, I don't know
• 3:20:34
  what Sonny Gray is going to do in the American League east and
• 3:20:36
  he's got the Yankees. Got a bone to pick with him when
• 3:20:39
  they do play the, when he does play the Yankees.
• 3:20:41
  So I'm sure the Yankees are going to go full force after him
• 3:20:45
  and I think willson Contreras, he's a good hitter.
• 3:20:47
  He's to me an elite Defender. Elite Game caller, I think he's
• 3:20:53
  perfect. I think this is a slam dunk for
• 3:20:55
  the right side. I think this is a good for both
• 3:20:57
  teams, actually because the Cardinals.
• 3:20:58
  I need to get younger for a while and we don't know what
• 3:21:00
  those guys are going to. I will say this though, fish
• 3:21:03
  though, the one thing that has the heart spelling, I think,
• 3:21:05
  Actually call him Scrabble, the nickname of it.
• 3:21:07
  He actually was a versatile outfielder and show some flashes
• 3:21:10
  last year and I do like I ate as a prospector so I didn't think
• 3:21:13
  the Cardinals got better as well, but the Red Sox need to
• 3:21:15
  get power within the catcher. And first base position causes
• 3:21:18
  it's not been healthy and the ketchup position was a really
• 3:21:20
  big weakness for them offensively, so definitely a
• 3:21:22
  good move for them as well. Really, when Kostas went down,
• 3:21:24
  that's kind of when they kind of had to go into scramble mode.
• 3:21:28
  They never really figured out the infield last year.
• 3:21:30
  They thought, you know, the Campbell was going to be the
• 3:21:35
  answer after a good first month at second base.
• 3:21:37
  They had to send him down, they paid him and then had to send
• 3:21:40
  him down, which is wild. I mean, I don't know.
• 3:21:43
  One's really talking about that. That's one of the worst GM moves
• 3:21:46
  of the last season, but again, the Red Sox are doing things.
• 3:21:51
  The Yankees are just sitting on their hands.
• 3:21:54
  There's some other teams in the AL East that are deciding to
• 3:21:58
  deal with each other Arrow. As Shane, the rage traded, Shane
• 3:22:02
  boss in the division to the balls of More Orioles who
• 3:22:07
  absolutely needed the pitching. The Orioles acquired
• 3:22:10
  right-handed, Shane Bobs and trade with Tampa Bay Rays
• 3:22:12
  sending a four Prospect package and the draft pick in a rare
• 3:22:17
  division deal. So the Orioles wanted Buzz, they
• 3:22:21
  paid a lot for him all though. He you can argue, he didn't have
• 3:22:26
  a very good season last year 166 and a third 176 strikeouts.
• 3:22:31
  So more than a strikeout and inning 64 walks and a 487 era.
• 3:22:37
  Got lit up. For much of the Season, had a
• 3:22:41
  good first month and a half or so he had one of the best eras
• 3:22:44
  in baseball and then he was one of the worst pictures in
• 3:22:47
  baseball for most of the rest of the way.
• 3:22:49
  Good strikeout pitcher though, kind of brings like Dylan cease
• 3:22:53
  to mind when I when I think of him good, no good strikeout
• 3:22:58
  numbers yet. Gives up way too many.
• 3:23:01
  Big hits, the Orioles needed an arm but they gave up a lot.
• 3:23:04
  You know, again these prospects but they gave up a high draft
• 3:23:07
  pick, they gave up, they gave up, you know, kind of like a
• 3:23:11
  All-Star level type of package. I I think it was not that I I
• 3:23:14
  think that when you look at the O's, the O's are reaching and
• 3:23:18
  the raids are going to win this trade.
• 3:23:20
  They always do, they always win these trades.
• 3:23:22
  These players become stars or two of them become stars out of
• 3:23:26
  the bunch and they're just other targets for other teams in the
• 3:23:29
  future. They, they use them, they slice
• 3:23:32
  them, they dice them until they don't need them anymore and
• 3:23:34
  erase all about and they get more back for him.
• 3:23:37
  I think this is a great move for the raise Is very raised.
• 3:23:40
  Like I shame boss. I seen him pitch a couple of
• 3:23:43
  times against the Yankees. He's been up and down against
• 3:23:46
  the Yankees over the over, the last two seasons.
• 3:23:48
  I don't know what Shane boss is going to be, I do know that this
• 3:23:52
  is the American League east and this is the hardest division in
• 3:23:56
  sports. The 100, hardest division in
• 3:23:58
  baseball and have to face off against some of the best teams
• 3:24:01
  including the Red Sox and the Yankees.
• 3:24:03
  And now even the Rays, just tells me that they're barking up
• 3:24:08
  the wrong direction. Oh, and the Blue Jays too
• 3:24:09
  barking up the wrong tree. So I I think this is a bad trade
• 3:24:13
  and I think the team that's going to be smelling, the Roses
• 3:24:17
  is the race as they always are. Yep.
• 3:24:18
  The Rays need to quantity. They have a lot of these
• 3:24:20
  pictures that have been injury prone.
• 3:24:21
  Mclanahan obviously was the big name.
• 3:24:23
  They had Tommy, John surgery recently shot Torres Bradley.
• 3:24:26
  Another one fish that probably could strike out numbers but a
• 3:24:28
  lot of home runs and bosses that same kind of way the oils get a
• 3:24:31
  lefty. Maybe they could trust their new
• 3:24:32
  ownership, their new analytics Department to help him out a
• 3:24:36
  little. But yeah, it's a lot for just
• 3:24:37
  one pitcher. They need more than Two, start
• 3:24:40
  spending more on pitching. Well, guess what?
• 3:24:42
  The Rays had more to do and the Rays.
• 3:24:45
  Never seemed to lose these deals.
• 3:24:47
  One more thing left here and inside baseball.
• 3:24:50
  Every couple of years, someone says, oh I know who's stupid the
• 3:24:54
  Pirates. Let's see if they'll take an
• 3:24:56
  aging player who used to be really good coming off of
• 3:25:00
  probably his last good season Pirates.
• 3:25:02
  Trade for second baseman, Brandon Lowe from the Tampa Bay
• 3:25:05
  Rays. It's part of a three team deal
• 3:25:08
  at all. So included the Astros the race
• 3:25:11
  and low left-hander Mason Montgomery and outfielder Jake
• 3:25:14
  Mangum to Pittsburgh the Pirates deal.
• 3:25:17
  Right-handed pitcher Mike Burrows to Houston Tampa,
• 3:25:19
  acquires a bunch of prospects from Houston as a part of the
• 3:25:24
  deal, not listed there at the answer, right now about this, by
• 3:25:28
  the way, but I guarantee you, those prospects are better than
• 3:25:30
  whoever was traded because it's the race.
• 3:25:33
  The race, the Rays get richer. I this is a joke.
• 3:25:37
  It's an absolute joke. The A smiling.
• 3:25:40
  This is a joke. I honestly think about they made
• 3:25:45
  two trades and they got a boatload, this could be their
• 3:25:48
  roster in about five years. They got about seven guys for
• 3:25:53
  two. And honestly not very good or
• 3:25:57
  three and not very good. They're okay players.
• 3:25:59
  I I think this is an absolute slam thong for the rate.
• 3:26:03
  I don't really think there's any argument to that I don't even
• 3:26:05
  think we got to go deeper into this.
• 3:26:06
  Who cares what you think got who cares what the Pirates got I
• 3:26:11
  want to see in five years what the race God cuz whatever anyway
• 3:26:17
  you spin the wheel, make the deal you play dice or you're
• 3:26:19
  playing any kind of card game, you're gonna bet on the raise.
• 3:26:23
  Every single time I'm betting on the Raves.
• 3:26:25
  I, this is, this is just absolutely a joke.
• 3:26:28
  I don't, there's nothing more to say about this.
• 3:26:30
  Yeah. Like a cereals is not really
• 3:26:33
  that good of a picture. I don't think he's going to get
• 3:26:34
  anything out of this Magnum. I think is good loud.
• 3:26:37
  You're right, fish. The best days are behind him.
• 3:26:38
  The razor definitely. Still so wait, isn't it?
• 3:26:41
  Brandon Lowe and it was Josh Lau.
• 3:26:43
  Yes. And it was Nathaniel and then it
• 3:26:47
  was Nathaniel Lowe too when he was there as well, right?
• 3:26:51
  That was confusing. But here's the thing.
• 3:26:55
  Low in this situation, power hitting, second baseman, not a
• 3:26:59
  lot of guys like there's only 31 years old.
• 3:27:01
  The problem with him is that he has a bad back arrow and he's 31
• 3:27:07
  and he has a much worse back than Cody Bellinger.
• 3:27:09
  Who's hasn't had a bad back in number of years.
• 3:27:11
  He just had his first healthier in a while.
• 3:27:14
  He's only a rental because he's only got one year left on his
• 3:27:17
  deal. He ain't staying in Pittsburgh.
• 3:27:19
  Okay, ain't gonna be any good, who cares the Rays win this?
• 3:27:22
  They get the raise, always, get the prospects, they find the way
• 3:27:25
  to get the deal. There are smart organization
• 3:27:28
  that know how to buy into prospects and building
• 3:27:31
  prospects. And that's why the raise and I I
• 3:27:34
  wouldn't be surprised by the six or seven players.
• 3:27:37
  They got in these two trades are part of their lineup in the net
• 3:27:41
  or in pitching staff, and then the next five years and their
• 3:27:44
  big parts of those of those pieces where they can make a run
• 3:27:48
  for another world series, which Full and short every single
• 3:27:52
  time. But eventually they're going to
• 3:27:53
  get it right? That's all I'm going to say.
• 3:27:55
  Ty look last now. You'll look at all the other
• 3:27:59
  guys that they've had over the years and what, what kind of
• 3:28:01
  prospects they've gotten from all these guys, and they're
• 3:28:04
  going to do the same thing to Mclean.
• 3:28:06
  Write McClanahan, McClanahan will come back from his UCL tear
• 3:28:12
  and he'll pitch well for one year and he'll be trading and
• 3:28:15
  they'll get a boatload for him. I think he's already getting
• 3:28:16
  offers this offset. Yeah, he'll get both.
• 3:28:19
  They'll get a boatload of players back for him as well, so
• 3:28:22
  there you go. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:28:25
  we call this techno. In the butt.
• 3:28:32
  He got the price is cheap because they're stole.
• 3:28:38
  No, no no, no no. I got the bubble gum, I had to
• 3:28:46
  take a shet, he's probably taking a crap right now because
• 3:28:48
  he's hanging out with the fam. Eating some soup, eating some
• 3:28:51
  chicken liver. I don't know if he's eating
• 3:28:54
  chicken liver but he's eating some chicken liver chicken.
• 3:28:58
  You just said like chicken, like a sexy thing to eat.
• 3:29:02
  Oh, maybe it is to drop a Chamberlain.
• 3:29:05
  Listen, do he lives in the Prescott in the cornfields?
• 3:29:08
  What do they eat? They in the Nebraska.
• 3:29:12
  What did he Whatever that mysterious food that he brought
• 3:29:19
  up the wrong roast. Runs us as long as she runs my
• 3:29:23
  two hole. I'm good and it's probably gonna
• 3:29:25
  be taking oh the end of the night know he'll need to take
• 3:29:28
  care of his two holes, if he's eating chicken liver.
• 3:29:29
  All right, so it's jealous. Not hero actually start ticking
• 3:29:33
  though actually with some with some hockey.
• 3:29:34
  So, Cindy Crosby always gave up as a surpassed Mario Lemieux in
• 3:29:38
  terms of all time points on the NHL all-time list.
• 3:29:41
  So four of the top 10 all-time scorers including Crosby and
• 3:29:44
  lamu played with the Penguins during their career.
• 3:29:47
  Yager was the other one Crosby Lemieux who was the fourth?
• 3:29:52
  Ron Francis is Ron. Francis very good.
• 3:29:55
  There you go. I was either Ron Francis.
• 3:29:56
  It was either Ron Francis or mark wrecky one of those guys,
• 3:30:01
  not know. But I was, I would be my guess
• 3:30:04
  one of the other So, all right. Let's go right to the middle.
• 3:30:09
  Next question Speedy. All right, so Mike Tomlin has
• 3:30:12
  clinched his 19th straight winning season or most not
• 3:30:18
  losing season. I should say tying Bill
• 3:30:19
  Belichick for second all time who was first with 21 straight.
• 3:30:25
  21 straight. Yep. 21 straight not in losing
• 3:30:28
  Seasons Shula. Nope.
• 3:30:33
  Fam, 21 non-losing, Tom Landry. Yep, very good.
• 3:30:37
  Nice. That was another one that was
• 3:30:38
  stuck in my head, too. Oh man, I'm on fire.
• 3:30:42
  Usually I don't get another one right for like a three weeks at
• 3:30:46
  this point, though. Let's see.
• 3:30:48
  It's on if you go bottom left, maybe that'll give us some
• 3:30:52
  better luck. Oh, I actually lost my head on
• 3:30:54
  that one. All right.
• 3:30:57
  Let's go. All right, I'll give you the one
• 3:31:00
  basketball one. I have.
• 3:31:01
  So the Bulls in the Hawks recently in their game on
• 3:31:04
  Sunday. Believe it was combined for 300
• 3:31:06
  2 points in regulation which was the most.
• 3:31:09
  I think it was like the 5th most of all time combined in a
• 3:31:13
  regulation game. So the highest scoring one was
• 3:31:15
  in 1990 between two Western Conference teams which two teams
• 3:31:19
  were. They'll give you guys get two
• 3:31:21
  guesses. Each And then the 1990s, the
• 3:31:24
  highest scoring game in regulation, in NBA history was
• 3:31:28
  in 1990 the year 1990, exactly. Yes, you go first Portland and
• 3:31:35
  Seattle. Nope.
• 3:31:38
  None of them out neither one. I'm gonna say one of them is
• 3:31:43
  Utah. Nope.
• 3:31:45
  No. In the 1990s, the Lakers.
• 3:31:51
  Nope. All right, so you and Tommy just
• 3:31:55
  to try to get both teams. So you basically you both have
• 3:31:59
  to be right or Speedy wins. Lakers, I think it was now.
• 3:32:06
  Um, Western Conference. I'll take a guess.
• 3:32:14
  There you got the Spurs know. I was gonna say, all right,
• 3:32:18
  that's it. It was, it was the Warriors
• 3:32:21
  against the Nuggets Warriors and Nuggets.
• 3:32:25
  All right, Speedy, going for the block, I'm assuming here.
• 3:32:28
  Indeed, do you remember who was the point guard?
• 3:32:31
  Starting point guard at that 1990 Warriors team.
• 3:32:35
  Our friend. Tim Hardaway.
• 3:32:36
  That's right. And who I think it was Van Exel
• 3:32:40
  for Denver back? Then maybe know that.
• 3:32:43
  No later, that was later. It was later.
• 3:32:45
  Yeah. Without that wasn't Alex
• 3:32:48
  singing, right? I think, yeah.
• 3:32:50
  But it wasn't this like ice. This is like before that before
• 3:32:54
  that I think. Okay.
• 3:32:56
  All right, Speedy next one. All right, we'll go to the last
• 3:32:58
  time, Miami played Ohio State in the National Championship in
• 3:33:02
  2003, Ohio State beat, Miami to broke, break the record for most
• 3:33:07
  consecutive wins by which quarterback So that again.
• 3:33:11
  So Ohio State upset, Miami in the national championship game
• 3:33:15
  in 2003, which broke the Lancers Ken, Dorsey its kind of Dorsey,
• 3:33:19
  very good. You watching the game or
• 3:33:20
  somebody gave you that? If because I know they probably
• 3:33:22
  used that in the game. I got that was probably, where
• 3:33:25
  is at the height of my college football, fandom 2003.
• 3:33:28
  I was in high school senior year.
• 3:33:30
  I remember everything about that team.
• 3:33:32
  Yeah. If you don't remember, how about
• 3:33:37
  Brock pretty tonight for touchdowns thrown?
• 3:33:39
  Thank all right, we're getting into two-way.
• 3:33:41
  Go here by going there. So we're gonna have a chance,
• 3:33:44
  two times in a row to feed Speedy.
• 3:33:46
  He's got a block us twice Speedy, what she got.
• 3:33:49
  All right, we'll go to the NFL back to the NFL, so, I was Myles
• 3:33:52
  Garrett. Chasing the sack record right
• 3:33:54
  now. So since the since the new staff
• 3:33:57
  technology came in for sacks by Michael Strahan and gas now,
• 3:34:00
  didn't have the all-time record. It was actually Al Baker who
• 3:34:03
  broke that record in 1978 when he played for what?
• 3:34:06
  Midwest? NFL team.
• 3:34:09
  Jesus Christ. Midwest Midwest.
• 3:34:14
  Who knows? Vikings not the Vikings, good
• 3:34:18
  guys. So they have a lot of good
• 3:34:19
  defense alignment. Chicago Bears know the Lions
• 3:34:22
  considered, like lions is correct very good.
• 3:34:24
  Oh, it was alive. It was very good.
• 3:34:29
  Interesting. That's for the win right here
• 3:34:32
  with the stay with the same division theme, like a serial.
• 3:34:37
  Killer this dauber in the dirt. There was definitely a dauber
• 3:34:40
  and a dirt on that, right? Yes.
• 3:34:42
  What a guest for the Rudolph famous.
• 3:34:45
  Oh this time Speedy horror reindeer, I've heard of that
• 3:34:55
  might have been my best performance ever on tiktok.
• 3:34:57
  Now that was that was Jabba. Ladies and gentlemen without the
• 3:35:01
  Jobster Anyways. Anyways when we come back I said
• 3:35:05
  anyways like twice I don't know I'm losing it.
• 3:35:08
  That one over like a farting shirt.
• 3:35:09
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, when we come back we got Speedy
• 3:35:12
  out of the week NFL whip around and we have a new segment.
• 3:35:16
  Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to rumble as we will get into
• 3:35:21
  all righty then on the show. So we got a lot more left.
• 3:35:25
  But first, I was Sportsman it. Wait.
• 3:35:30
  This is the job and the mouth Sportsman is.
• 3:35:35
  All right, guys, Aaron Fishman here with your Sportsman, got a
• 3:35:38
  couple more stories before we get into the scores, this
• 3:35:41
  evening, after a lot of winning, you get nice things.
• 3:35:44
  At least that's what you would hope for as a successful
• 3:35:47
  professional sports franchise and that's what the Kansas City
• 3:35:50
  Chiefs are getting despite their failure to make the postseason
• 3:35:52
  2025 for sports into ESPN today. Say the Chiefs and the state of
• 3:35:57
  Kansas have a proposal that's passed through the state house
• 3:36:00
  and has been approved. That will lure the Chiefs away
• 3:36:02
  from Kansas City. Missouri saying, goodbye to
• 3:36:05
  Arrowhead Stadium and moving across the border to Kansas
• 3:36:08
  City, Kansas the state's proposal, that was attended by
• 3:36:11
  Chief owner, Clark hunt, and president Mark Donovan and other
• 3:36:15
  team officials covers, 70% of the cost of what's going to be a
• 3:36:18
  three billion dollar domed Stadium which is the highest
• 3:36:24
  amount that a town has ever contributed. 1.8 billion dollars
• 3:36:29
  the way that they're going to pay for this is something called
• 3:36:31
  star bonds Church sales tax and revenue bonds, which official
• 3:36:35
  Say, will recoup the money they made from the sales and alcohol
• 3:36:39
  taxes generated by the stadium and the increase in economic
• 3:36:42
  activity. In the surrounding area,
• 3:36:44
  Missouri would really suffer from the loss of chiefs, but
• 3:36:47
  their package for a new stadium, only covered half of the cost
• 3:36:49
  and with other fees and credits on top.
• 3:36:51
  Originally, the Chiefs and Royals were hoping for an 800
• 3:36:54
  million dollar renovation, to both stadiums, which are located
• 3:36:57
  in the same complex in. Missouri problem is Jackson
• 3:37:00
  County. Voters, voted down the sales tax
• 3:37:02
  extensions, that would cover the cost of the upgrades, the chiefs
• 3:37:06
  made their official announcement, just hours ago,
• 3:37:09
  alongside Kansas Governor, Laura Kelly, that they will be moving
• 3:37:12
  to this dome stadium. Vacating, the legendary
• 3:37:15
  Arrowhead, which has been the Chiefs home since 1972 and will
• 3:37:20
  no longer be theirs. When their lease expires in
• 3:37:23
  2031. The Naismith Memorial, National

  Well, the stories that I post every single week, I got a new
• 3:40:07
  one Speedy. Why don't you tell the fans a
• 3:40:09
  little bit about my new post? Oh yeah, he has got a new one
• 3:40:13
  out on Long Island hockey. And why Long Island with guys?
• 3:40:17
  Like Adam Fox, Charlie McAvoy many more are new hotbed for
• 3:40:21
  development. Absolutely, I think if you look
• 3:40:23
  at statistics statistics and analytics would tell you this
• 3:40:27
  long island is the place to be. If you want to be a hockey
• 3:40:30
  player, you want to be a successful hockey player.
• 3:40:32
  If you look at the back end of how small along island is, and
• 3:40:36
  some of the talent that homegrown players have come
• 3:40:39
  from. It's pretty pretty amazing over
• 3:40:42
  the last 10 seasons we have. Well, the island has had
• 3:40:46
  probably around seven superstars in the NHL right now that our
• 3:40:50
  slowly, but surely becoming big and no names throughout the NHL.
• 3:40:56
  So you could check it out. It's a very good story, funny as
• 3:40:59
  it always is, and it look like I did.
• 3:41:01
  A lot of I didn't give it to speed until the show starred.
• 3:41:04
  I have been working. I've been dealing with other
• 3:41:06
  stuff and we're working on other things.
• 3:41:08
  So it's it's been a long day for me so I didn't really get a
• 3:41:12
  chance to finish it, but I finished it before the show and
• 3:41:15
  it's definitely going to be posted on our website at
• 3:41:18
  worldwide sports radio.com. All right, we call this Speedy
• 3:41:21
  stats of the week. The Speedy.
• 3:41:23
  Well, you may run like me but you hit like the way breaking
• 3:41:30
  news. I need Brittany.
• 3:41:32
  Also let's keep them away from Brittany.
• 3:41:34
  Oh, I'm sure he does. And one thing that no my ass.
• 3:41:37
  One thing that the Ravens need is Lamar Jackson running the
• 3:41:42
  explosive ways that he's been running but he hasn't been able
• 3:41:44
  to do this you know, the injuries.
• 3:41:46
  So start of the week is Lamar Jackson coming into this year
• 3:41:48
  was had big old 51 runs of 20 plus yards.
• 3:41:53
  Right here, which is more than any other quarterback but this
• 3:41:56
  year How many does he have? Zero.
• 3:42:01
  Is really hurt this Ravens, rushing attack from being, what
• 3:42:03
  it was the last two years when the Lamar was the MVP and the
• 3:42:06
  runner off last year. And now the Ravens facing
• 3:42:09
  Elimination, possibly, because of us, I do not believe Lamar
• 3:42:13
  Jackson is healthy and that's that could be a reason why Lamar
• 3:42:16
  Jackson coming back as fast as he did was really.
• 3:42:19
  Because they at one point was wanting to five and then he
• 3:42:23
  comes back and they win four or five games in a row.
• 3:42:25
  Lamar Jackson as a as important as any player in the NFL today,
• 3:42:30
  their team think about it, people keep for years, we're
• 3:42:34
  talking about how great the Ravens defense is and this and
• 3:42:37
  not they're running game but they forget the guy that's
• 3:42:39
  running the show. The guy that calls the plays at
• 3:42:42
  the line of scrimmage and that's Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson to
• 3:42:45
  me is the best quarterback in the NFL.
• 3:42:47
  Even though he hasn't won anything.
• 3:42:49
  And I know a lot of people says you say, you have to win before,
• 3:42:52
  you can be considered as one of the elite players.
• 3:42:54
  I've always believed since Lamar is coming to the league from
• 3:42:58
  Louisville and To me Baltimore's last gift, from who's Beezy
• 3:43:03
  Speedy? Aussie Newsome, ever since he's
• 3:43:07
  coming to the league, he's been as unique and as dominant of a
• 3:43:10
  player and really transitioned his game from a running
• 3:43:13
  quarterback to an elite quarterback, throwing running
• 3:43:15
  doing all that stuff. I I just don't think he's
• 3:43:18
  healthy right now and I think it's hurt the opportunity for
• 3:43:22
  them to grow and and to get over the hump and maybe even make the
• 3:43:25
  playoffs this year. So, That's my opinion, too.
• 3:43:30
  Yeah. Unfortunately, ladies and
• 3:43:32
  gentlemen, I don't know what happened to the music but it
• 3:43:35
  disappeared off the face of the Earth.
• 3:43:36
  Well, that's because we know longer have any stats of the
• 3:43:40
  week to talk. Well, I got that chicken around
• 3:43:43
  the league. And stick it.
• 3:43:52
  All right, guys, welcome back to the whip around.
• 3:43:55
  We're gonna go through the rest of the week. 16 action.
• 3:43:58
  Starting with what was the best game of the week.
• 3:44:01
  The Seahawks defeated the Rams 38 to 37 in overtime, stupid
• 3:44:08
  numbers in this game. Matthew Stafford, 29 to 49 457,
• 3:44:14
  three touchdown spooka Nicolas, 12 for 225 and two touchdowns at
• 3:44:19
  something like 53 fantasy points.
• 3:44:21
  Blake Corum and other Russian touchdown for the Rams on the
• 3:44:26
  other side. Sam darnold, 272 touchdowns two
• 3:44:29
  picks, a hundred yards on 11, carries for Kenneth Walker, him
• 3:44:33
  and sharpen. A both scored at Rushing
• 3:44:35
  touchdown Jackson Smith and Jiggler like clockwork, 8, for
• 3:44:39
  96 and a touchdown. AJ Barner pretty good tight end
• 3:44:42
  for for 49 and touchdown. As, you know, it came down to a
• 3:44:47
  2-point conversion decision in overtime with some controversy
• 3:44:51
  Arrow. yeah, some controversy, but all in all Seattle was
• 3:44:58
  pretty pretty amazing. I really can't say anything bad
• 3:45:02
  about the organization and a team McDonald's to me as coach
• 3:45:04
  of the year. Jake Paul.
• 3:45:08
  He's a beast. Okay that's it.
• 3:45:10
  Is the bees is a great player. They've got weapons.
• 3:45:13
  I did not think they were going to pick up the pace in the
• 3:45:16
  fourth quarter. I thought Sam Donald was at one
• 3:45:19
  point in fantasy points in a fourth quarter at 7 points in
• 3:45:21
  the Jake Paul had like like nine.
• 3:45:24
  He was not doing well and then all of a sudden last seven
• 3:45:27
  minutes of the game, they took over the game Sam, Donald the
• 3:45:30
  mistakes, there were a lot of mistakes, Rams made defensively
• 3:45:33
  and Seattle capitalized on it and yeah, there was some
• 3:45:38
  controversy but in football, there's gonna be controversy
• 3:45:41
  against teams that are in the same division and that compete
• 3:45:44
  against one another. I'm not surprised.
• 3:45:46
  The fact here is I'll tell you this, Matthew Stafford is the
• 3:45:51
  MVP of the league and if it goes to anybody else but Matthew
• 3:45:54
  Stafford, it's a joke. This man deserves the MVP.
• 3:45:58
  I don't want to hear about Drake may like May is done Drake Maye
• 3:46:01
  has not put up the numbers. This man has in a heart of
• 3:46:04
  division and I'm more competitive division.
• 3:46:06
  Give me Matthew. Effort as the MVP but
• 3:46:09
  congratulations to CEO Hawks Seahawks could be the number one
• 3:46:12
  seed in the NFC. Yep it's one of those things
• 3:46:15
  where the Rams I think two losses this year have been on
• 3:46:19
  the same thing. One getting a little too
• 3:46:20
  content. I think with a 16-point lead
• 3:46:22
  against a good team, you saw that against the Eagles and then
• 3:46:24
  I seen against the Seahawks and then all of a sudden special
• 3:46:27
  teams will is like they did against the Eagles cost the Rams
• 3:46:29
  again a couple missed field goals and fish.
• 3:46:31
  Like here's like that weird two-point conversion but the
• 3:46:33
  size that they've still looked really strong and the great
• 3:46:35
  coaching battle. Like if we talk about the Bears
• 3:46:36
  of the Packers too between Kubiak and McVeigh on office, I
• 3:46:41
  could be ax been a pretty big Rising Star.
• 3:46:44
  I'm gonna come out party this year, what a great job?
• 3:46:47
  They're doing over there. McVeigh is.
• 3:46:50
  I don't know. You mean he's kind of I don't
• 3:46:53
  want to say he's the gold standard.
• 3:46:54
  I wouldn't say I wouldn't go that far but if you're giving it
• 3:46:57
  to him and you can hang with him like that.
• 3:46:59
  It's pretty big deal to talk about big one is well, that's
• 3:47:05
  surprised a lot of people we talked about it earlier with
• 3:47:07
  Liam calling Leading. I got to go back.
• 3:47:10
  All Jaguars team. To a 34 to 20 victory, over the
• 3:47:17
  Vontage Denver Broncos. Who again, they stick had not
• 3:47:22
  looked great in recent weeks but have had a lot of schedule luck.
• 3:47:27
  Maybe getting teams at the right time, you could say that but the
• 3:47:29
  record is what it says. It is Jaguars, took it to him
• 3:47:33
  this week, they're the Minnesota Vikings of a couple of years ago
• 3:47:37
  when they got knocked off by the Giants, in the playoffs.
• 3:47:39
  That's what they are. The Broncos are so, highly
• 3:47:42
  overrated, they don't have another, they don't have another
• 3:47:44
  weapon, they have one weapon and they have a running game but a
• 3:47:48
  run game that was good to share until they lost their running,
• 3:47:51
  their lead, running back and now that betting on a rookie running
• 3:47:54
  back in Harvey. I think Harvey's a good player
• 3:47:56
  Dave, had a lot of problems putting points up on the board
• 3:48:00
  at their great defense. Could you, who would have
• 3:48:03
  thought that a Sean Payton team would be known for their defense
• 3:48:07
  over their offense? Well, there's a team
• 3:48:09
  Jacksonville. I got to give Trevor Lawrence a
• 3:48:13
  little bit of credit. Over the last couple of weeks
• 3:48:15
  and I think Cohen has figured out the weakness of Trevor
• 3:48:20
  Lawrence and really committed and put his time this offseason
• 3:48:25
  into Trevor Lawrence. And you could see the, the
• 3:48:27
  opportunity he has moving forward which revelance who
• 3:48:30
  could be an elite quarterback. Once again, I, I Jeff, I don't
• 3:48:33
  want to heat your crap because I nobody would have thought that
• 3:48:36
  this transition was going to happen.
• 3:48:38
  The way it is, but it seems like it's happening.
• 3:48:40
  What do they call him from the movie Sunshine?
• 3:48:43
  That's what he is. Yeah.
• 3:48:45
  Lauren's finally, reaching that full potential.
• 3:48:47
  I think you see you were expected to see, is he gonna get
• 3:48:49
  to that level of the hype? I don't, I don't think so but it
• 3:48:52
  does it gets a Broncos defense. It came in number one, in yards,
• 3:48:55
  per play in number four, and look pretty good to me very good
• 3:48:58
  against that level of Defense Broncos.
• 3:49:00
  They were due to lose eventually they were shrinking too much and
• 3:49:02
  Championship caliber defense and all, I'm still not much with
• 3:49:04
  their offense. Besides that little shout out,
• 3:49:07
  the Penn State six round pick from a couple years ago, Parker,
• 3:49:10
  Washington, six for 145 and a touchdown in this.
• 3:49:14
  One was the leading receiver by far for the Jaguars Arrow.
• 3:49:18
  What's going on with your boy, Brian, Thomas Jr.
• 3:49:20
  They're crushing it this year and he's doing like next to
• 3:49:24
  nothing. I think he's not healthy.
• 3:49:26
  I don't think he's healthy and I think honestly, Brian Thomas, if
• 3:49:30
  he doesn't fit this offense, trade him and let him go
• 3:49:32
  somewhere. Where how about the Jets?
• 3:49:34
  I would love Brian Thomas Jr. I would love him playing.
• 3:49:37
  On the other side of Garrett Wilson.
• 3:49:39
  That would be beastly. I love it.
• 3:49:41
  I mean, he's only got 41 catches for 6:19.
• 3:49:46
  Makes no sense. You know, I don't think he's
• 3:49:48
  kind of strange. Well, let's move on to the next
• 3:49:51
  one. You know what I always like to
• 3:49:53
  do after we talk about good football.
• 3:49:54
  Let's talk about New York football.
• 3:49:57
  Here we go with the Saints. 29 to 6 victory over the Jets.
• 3:50:03
  Yes, that same Saints team that is terrible at football.
• 3:50:08
  They're five and ten with that big win over the Jets.
• 3:50:11
  Tyler shook three 32 for 49 308 yards and a touchdown they
• 3:50:18
  brought taysom Hill out of the scrap.
• 3:50:20
  Heap for this one he had a 38 yard touchdown pass.
• 3:50:24
  He was their leading rusher with caries, in 42 yards.
• 3:50:28
  He had four catches three. We have to talk about this game,
• 3:50:32
  really Crystal LaVey 10 for 148 2 touchdowns when way back when
• 3:50:39
  when we thought the Jets were going to be somebody this year.
• 3:50:41
  This isn't that the guy that we were looking at as a trade
• 3:50:44
  Target, I love you. I still think he is.
• 3:50:48
  I mean, what do they doing with this guy on the roster?
• 3:50:50
  It doesn't make sense to me. And then on the other side,
• 3:50:53
  where nothing makes sense. The Giants attempted like four
• 3:50:57
  passes in the entire first. Half the game plan for Mike,
• 3:51:01
  kropka over there was not to throw the ball because obviously
• 3:51:05
  your quarterbacks not good enough wood to throw the ball at
• 3:51:08
  all, I against the Vikings defense.
• 3:51:11
  I don't I don't know what the hell he's doing over there.
• 3:51:13
  If he can't coach him up to not turn the ball over against the
• 3:51:17
  Vikings. It was such a lovely sampling.
• 3:51:20
  What an embarrassment JJ McCarthy.
• 3:51:23
  Look like you broke his hand in the old, throw the ball, and
• 3:51:25
  then your hands to die in front of liquor helmet technique.
• 3:51:29
  I think I having a Curt Warner, which is let Eli got onto the
• 3:51:31
  job but takes it up. Yes. yeah, I mean you just say
• 3:51:36
  what you will about Java, but Max probably beat the Giants and
• 3:51:40
  Mike Kafka, oh, Yeah. Good.
• 3:51:44
  Get a Blow Pop and never get another head coaching job or an
• 3:51:48
  opportunity. Well, Kafka remembers when he
• 3:51:50
  was playing quarterback in Minnesota.
• 3:51:52
  A while ago, I saw the video that they were posting, oh my
• 3:51:55
  Kafka please the Giants choked. They had a chance to beat the
• 3:51:59
  Vikings. And they practically said here,
• 3:52:01
  the Speedy was there. Yeah, you could take the game,
• 3:52:05
  you can win the game, we don't need, we don't need to win this
• 3:52:07
  game, where we have a chance to get the number one pick, but
• 3:52:10
  next week, it's gonna be completely different because
• 3:52:12
  it's the Battle of two of the worst teams in a league.
• 3:52:14
  But yeah, as far as the Jets of concern, not surprised the
• 3:52:19
  Saints with their ass. I am really not.
• 3:52:22
  And if you're a Jet fan and I am, I think you should just wait
• 3:52:26
  until next year and and lose out the next two games and see where
• 3:52:31
  you land right now, they're at four, I think they're in a good
• 3:52:34
  spot if Las Vegas. if Las Vegas beats the Giants, the Jets could
• 3:52:40
  jump from Four to three and that's where the Jets need to
• 3:52:45
  sit because Cleveland's not drafting a quarterback at 2 and
• 3:52:48
  a Giants and less, they decide to trade their caught up back
• 3:52:52
  away to trade draft. Man, does a I could see the Jets
• 3:52:56
  at 3 getting mandoza and sitting pretty and they just crying to
• 3:53:00
  the sunset. So that's all I could say about
• 3:53:02
  that. There's nothing excited about
• 3:53:04
  the Jets that Giants. Just I want to hurl.
• 3:53:07
  And if you're a fan, you will know That's it.
• 3:53:10
  Saints have been pesky recently, and maybe showing that, maybe
• 3:53:13
  they're not going to draft a quarterback.
• 3:53:14
  Think. You're shocks looked pretty good
• 3:53:15
  but it gets a bad teams but Panthers box, they beat to
• 3:53:18
  Giants. O-line was interestingly good.
• 3:53:20
  A lot of five sacks but not a lot of pressures and run
• 3:53:23
  blocking was good but not much besides that.
• 3:53:24
  Like you said, fish that offense and the Jets offensive line look
• 3:53:27
  like crap. Yes.
• 3:53:28
  Yesterday against that defense know, it's not really, it's just
• 3:53:32
  a story of like the last bunch of years.
• 3:53:33
  Andrew Thomas, gets hurt in middle of the game they can't do
• 3:53:36
  crap. As soon as he's gone, it is just
• 3:53:39
  what's been going on with that team.
• 3:53:40
  They're so whereas painting Thank God for Andrew Thomas.
• 3:53:44
  I hope he gets better, so he could watch some confident
• 3:53:46
  playing. Moving on to a few games that
• 3:53:51
  were kind of interesting for their reasons.
• 3:53:55
  Not very interesting but put them together and we'll talk
• 3:53:58
  about them quickly. The Cardinals are terrible.
• 3:54:00
  Jonathan Gannon was making up stories saying it's not fair.
• 3:54:04
  Like no one has time to learn how to tackle in the NFL that's
• 3:54:08
  what coaches who are about to get fired.
• 3:54:09
  Say, so he's gone, the Falcons, currently he's been coming back.
• 3:54:14
  You look pretty good in this one just quickly, his stats, 21 and
• 3:54:18
  35 to touchdowns a pick Bichon. Robbinson was awesome in this
• 3:54:23
  game. 76 yards, It's Your Heart Out fisherman.
• 3:54:27
  Touchdown Kyle Pitts, again, seven for 57 and down the Kyle
• 3:54:34
  Pitts Resurgence, out of nowhere for Errol and his fantasy team.
• 3:54:38
  The other, the game that was real good though, was the
• 3:54:41
  Patriots, Ravens game. Again, Lamar got hurt in the
• 3:54:44
  middle of that game and Drake, Maye had to lead him back.
• 3:54:47
  Another guy who had trade on, Henderson got hurt in that game,
• 3:54:50
  which also didn't help me at all my fantasy league contest Drake
• 3:54:54
  Made though, 30 of 44, 380 two touchdowns in a pick just silly
• 3:55:00
  numbers. He had 10 carries for 25 yards,
• 3:55:02
  two stuff on digs 9 for 1:38 in that game.
• 3:55:05
  I and Derrick Henry ran wild interesting to think about as
• 3:55:10
  you get into the playoffs with that, run defense for the
• 3:55:12
  Patriots, 18 128 and 2 touchdowns.
• 3:55:15
  They gave up a rushing touchdown, and around the
• 3:55:17
  flowers. Another guy Arrowhead and we got
• 3:55:20
  to see Quinn, yor's, how fun was that over in Miami everyone?
• 3:55:25
  Loved cucumber? Or are you here before he came
• 3:55:28
  out? And then they didn't love him so
• 3:55:29
  much as he was coming out and you got to see why 20 of 30, 260
• 3:55:33
  a new blow up. Special Joe's the man four
• 3:55:39
  touchdowns 3009. Well, Joe burrow might have a
• 3:55:42
  new job, he might not be in the NFL next year.
• 3:55:45
  If he doesn't get trade, I don't know what's going on, but they
• 3:55:48
  asked Joe burrow, a couple of times over the last couple of
• 3:55:50
  days, will you be here next year?
• 3:55:53
  And he's as I think so. But he didn't look very happy
• 3:55:56
  last Sunday. So maybe he put a smile on his
• 3:56:00
  face after putting up a 45 against the Dolphins.
• 3:56:02
  I don't know. I I could probably bet that Joe
• 3:56:06
  burrow is probably playing for another team next year, but
• 3:56:09
  that's that's good news for Joe. I think Joe is still a top five
• 3:56:13
  quarterback top three when healthy.
• 3:56:16
  I mean he puts up the number as come back Player of the Year
• 3:56:18
  twice. I mean he's the only player that
• 3:56:20
  pulled 4,000 yards last year. I mean the guys don't believe
• 3:56:23
  the ball, the Patriots they beat the Ravens.
• 3:56:26
  But I the Ravens aren't good defensively and they had
• 3:56:33
  problems stopping the Ravens or offensively they flowers,
• 3:56:35
  besides dropping the ball at the end of the game that might have
• 3:56:38
  caused the Ravens, winning the game.
• 3:56:39
  He was good, but the Patriots got lucky as far as I'm
• 3:56:43
  concerned, I, I think that if you're a patriot fan, you should
• 3:56:47
  be scared playing against one of these Elite teams in the AFC.
• 3:56:49
  If you matched up in in the wrong position, against one of
• 3:56:54
  these teams, you're gonna get your butt, the carnivals Gannon
• 3:56:58
  complaining, he's fired, get ready for it.
• 3:57:00
  That's all I'm gonna say about that game.
• 3:57:03
  And by the way B, John Robinson's a beast.
• 3:57:04
  Thank you very much. And by the way, So you know fish
• 3:57:08
  sayonara as I call that McCaffrey could still get three
• 3:57:13
  touchdown, good luck and and by the way just so you know, um
• 3:57:17
  yeah my quarterback. Is doing pretty well.
• 3:57:20
  So, and by the way, tell us playing pretty well too.
• 3:57:23
  He's running the ball pretty well.
• 3:57:24
  So I'm not complaining Falcons epitome of mediocrity, and yeah.
• 3:57:29
  Coaching his way out of a job at this point.
• 3:57:30
  The Bengals, I think probably trying to last its effort to
• 3:57:33
  save his exact tailors job, but it's not gonna happen and the
• 3:57:36
  Ravens look like a shade of the 2023 AFC Championship Game.
• 3:57:39
  Why you stopping running the ball with Derrick Henry, in the
• 3:57:41
  fourth quarter? He got like five Total light
• 3:57:44
  times on the field. It didn't even get any reps and
• 3:57:46
  then they self-destructed with penalties after that say
• 3:57:48
  flowers, same kind of thing in the AFC Championship game.
• 3:57:50
  Got the ball. Punch out from good play by
• 3:57:51
  Chase on. And like I said, straight May
• 3:57:53
  looking good on the fourth quarter, getting some adversity,
• 3:57:55
  you know, it's seems like, yeah, I remember I keep thinking back
• 3:57:59
  to the Joe Shane and Brian dabel, they talked about they
• 3:58:04
  wanted Jayden Daniels. They wanted Drake, Maye trade up
• 3:58:08
  for him and they teams are like. Now, we're not giving up these
• 3:58:11
  guys, and they were right, they shouldn't have given up those
• 3:58:13
  guys. Those guys are really good
• 3:58:15
  Drake. Maze is pretty exceptionally.
• 3:58:17
  He's a top three and the candidate thinks Stafford might
• 3:58:20
  have solidified it though, with those crazy numbers, this week,
• 3:58:23
  let's move on. Two more to go here.
• 3:58:26
  We got games that were shockingly close from good
• 3:58:31
  teams. Facing not good teams, the Bills
• 3:58:34
  beat the Browns and shedeur Sanders. 23 to 20, that one was
• 3:58:39
  weird. Josh Allen did nothing for me in
• 3:58:42
  Fantasy 12 of 19 for 130 because you need to James Cook. 16
• 3:58:46
  carries 117 two touchdowns and then they just kind of messed
• 3:58:52
  around. Let them hang in the game.
• 3:58:54
  Should door 20 of 29 157, a touchdown, two picks had 49
• 3:59:00
  yards, rushing scamming around the first half, all of that
• 3:59:03
  done. But it was a very uninspired
• 3:59:06
  performance by Bills team again, you know, Cleveland's not a good
• 3:59:10
  team, but it is a good defense or at least it's a halfway
• 3:59:13
  decent defense with great players on it.
• 3:59:15
  So kind of this heartening to see the bills, only do that.
• 3:59:18
  And then the texts, But we've been talking about as this you
• 3:59:22
  know, Powerhouse defense power housing.
• 3:59:25
  They barely beat the Raiders had to come back in that one.
• 3:59:28
  Beat the Raiders 23 to 21. Not like Geno Smith was any
• 3:59:32
  good. It was really the Ashton jeanty
• 3:59:34
  show at 24, carries and TouchDown for 128 yards and a
• 3:59:39
  60-yard screen passage up to the house, Brock Bowers had a
• 3:59:42
  touchdown he hasn't looked great this year since coming back from
• 3:59:44
  the injury but I mean the Texans just did nothing.
• 3:59:48
  There was no one. That did anything special.
• 3:59:51
  You can call Collins was the leading receiver forecast is 59
• 3:59:53
  yds, kind of hard to figure was going on there and probably has
• 3:59:57
  to do with the Run game being garbage but it's the Raiders are
• 4:00:01
  two and 13. This Texans team is 10 and 5
• 4:00:03
  Harrell. It makes some sense of these two
• 4:00:06
  games for me. There's no sense whatsoever.
• 4:00:09
  I mean Buffalo is Squeezing in, I still think Josh Allen is
• 4:00:15
  dangerous and I'll figure things out.
• 4:00:17
  I worry about their defense in the playoffs, officially their
• 4:00:20
  secondary, but I think I think the bills right now are just
• 4:00:26
  trying to get healthy and get ready for the playoffs and they
• 4:00:29
  have a chance to win the division.
• 4:00:30
  The Patriots have to lose at least one of these games and
• 4:00:35
  they got to win both of these games.
• 4:00:37
  If they do, that Buffalo can win the division.
• 4:00:39
  We'll see how that works. And if that happens, the Texans,
• 4:00:45
  I'm the Texans are up and down, they're like they wishy-washy
• 4:00:49
  but they're defenses, they're beastly.
• 4:00:51
  And I still think that this defense is Elite and the best
• 4:00:54
  defense in the league. So we'll see how it all works.
• 4:00:56
  But I think it makes a lot of sense.
• 4:00:59
  It makes a lot of sense. Ladies and gentlemen on why the
• 4:01:03
  Texans are still a contending team in the UFC.
• 4:01:06
  So yeah, some of the flaws they had at the beginning of the
• 4:01:08
  Season offensive line and running game.
• 4:01:09
  They still have kind of with Woody marks hurt, came back in
• 4:01:13
  this game. So the Raiders played a closed
• 4:01:14
  ginty showed himself. He gets a very good defense.
• 4:01:16
  Good time for his development, by the way, up to quits in
• 4:01:20
  John's. I was a bad injury that he
• 4:01:21
  suffered too hope. Yeah.
• 4:01:22
  That's well, the bills always have these things.
• 4:01:25
  They played down a certain teams and this was just one of those
• 4:01:27
  cases they survived, but they can't game plan like that.
• 4:01:31
  Oh yeah, Judkins. They said it was a bad injury
• 4:01:34
  for a while anyway. We got one last slate here, kind
• 4:01:39
  of threw him all together. This was great.
• 4:01:41
  As a Giants fan to see the Titans wax, the Chiefs, let more
• 4:01:45
  less competition for that. Number one overall pick for us,
• 4:01:48
  I guess this is just us in the Raiders.
• 4:01:50
  It's gonna come down to that one like you said, Earl, but 296
• 4:01:53
  there Eagles beat up on the commanders 2918 and the Chargers
• 4:01:58
  humbled, back in the Cowboys 3417 for me.
• 4:02:04
  I mean we said it before the season, it doesn't matter what
• 4:02:07
  the schedule says Harbaugh is going to find a way to win 11 to
• 4:02:11
  10/11 games every single year and look at them there are 11
• 4:02:14
  and 4 just in Herbert 23 of 29. 300 and two touchdowns
• 4:02:18
  hyper-efficient had 42 yards on eight carries and a touchdown on
• 4:02:23
  the ground as well. They got a Marion Hampton,
• 4:02:25
  finally back and back up the speed 16 carries 85 yards and a
• 4:02:30
  touchdown Quinton. Quentin Johnston has been out
• 4:02:34
  For catching 1004 yards. In a touchdown.
• 4:02:35
  They're getting the guys back. If they get enough back, I know
• 4:02:39
  they don't have the offensive lineman but they're still a good
• 4:02:41
  enough to be dangerously early in the playoffs.
• 4:02:43
  The Cowboys are done though. Jerry Jones.
• 4:02:46
  Looks like I think we can move on from there.
• 4:02:48
  Eagles had a big game but the Titans you know, the only thing
• 4:02:56
  the guy to say about that game cam.
• 4:02:59
  Ward has his first good game of his career and the quarterback
• 4:03:02
  going forwards for the rest of the season.
• 4:03:05
  For the Kansas City. Chiefs are all is Chris olah.
• 4:03:09
  Duncan I'm not joking. All right, so who cares about
• 4:03:14
  the Titans game? Nobody cares.
• 4:03:16
  The Titans just got another win, has them dropping in the draft
• 4:03:20
  Eagles, beating the commanders, they should be the commanders in
• 4:03:23
  the Eagles, win the NFC East, I expect the Eagles to be
• 4:03:26
  dangerous in the playoffs and they figured it out.
• 4:03:29
  AJ Brown is playing it played very well Sequim Barkley played.
• 4:03:32
  Well, this is the best. I've seen this team play
• 4:03:34
  offensively in a while and the charge is in the Cowboys.
• 4:03:38
  Honestly, the Cowboys are gone. I thought, you know, the Cowboys
• 4:03:43
  need to figure out what they're doing with Pickens sign him.
• 4:03:46
  Make sure that you control that opportunity next year because
• 4:03:49
  you have the money and the Chargers expect them to make a
• 4:03:54
  run in the playoffs. I like Justin Herbert and he's
• 4:03:56
  playing with her handy. Still playing at Herbert's play
• 4:04:00
  great, the defense Championship caliber defense, the Chargers
• 4:04:02
  have Eagles, still kind of ugly in the first half, but gotta
• 4:04:05
  going in the second half and tighten Ward quick release on
• 4:04:07
  his throws but again, yes, alone.
• 4:04:09
  Okay, all right. There you Go.
• 4:04:11
  Let's get it over with. I don't hear the whip around,
• 4:04:13
  that was too long. I think that whip around went
• 4:04:16
  oh, way too long, and the game, bad with time.
• 4:04:19
  That was a shorter whip around the normal.
• 4:04:21
  I think the way you're really bad with the time on that, I
• 4:04:24
  don't know. There's 25 minutes I don't for
• 4:04:27
  full NFL, a lot of a lot of the games were meaningless and not
• 4:04:31
  important. And that's well, just because
• 4:04:34
  you don't love football enough, it doesn't mean that the fans
• 4:04:36
  don't, I, I love football and it was a meaningless attack.
• 4:04:41
  Half those games mean, nothing meant nothing and nobody cares
• 4:04:45
  about. The people need to know about
• 4:04:47
  Chris olah, duck and all the Travis Kelce throwing into the
• 4:04:51
  defense. Congratulations, enjoy your
• 4:04:54
  enjoy watching. Kansas City football for the
• 4:04:56
  next couple of weeks. Anyways, oh yeah.
• 4:04:59
  Let's uh, let's go to our alrighty, then.
• 4:05:05
  Friday. I want you for breakfast, lunch
• 4:05:12
  and dinner. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 4:05:15
  all righty. Then I write a story, okay?
• 4:05:17
  I've been writing a story every single day for the last past,
• 4:05:21
  two months, and we have put it on Reddit.
• 4:05:24
  And all the fans out there have checked out and viewed, our, you
• 4:05:30
  know, view the take and read view.
• 4:05:32
  The story gave their takes to it.
• 4:05:34
  So I told Speedy, for now on, you're gonna pick a story that I
• 4:05:38
  write every single week. And we're going to go whoever
• 4:05:41
  whatever story has the most views, and the most takes from
• 4:05:44
  the fans. We're going to use that, we're
• 4:05:46
  going to read it on the show. And then we're gonna answer all
• 4:05:50
  the takes that some of the fans had with the story.
• 4:05:55
  Right. So fish.
• 4:05:57
  You can read the story. All right, so here we go.
• 4:05:59
  With all righty, then Here is the story we're going to talk
• 4:06:03
  about and if you watched it on Netflix on Friday, this was
• 4:06:06
  written a little bit before that was that fight happened.
• 4:06:09
  The Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua.
• 4:06:11
  The greatest fight money can pretend is Real by our hostel
• 4:06:17
  marks. Let's take a look at it as we go
• 4:06:20
  down here. The two of them, little bit of a
• 4:06:23
  size Advantage for Mr. Joshua in this one as you can see from the
• 4:06:26
  picture. So let's be clear.
• 4:06:29
  This is not a fight. This is cosplay with
• 4:06:31
  consequences. Jake, Paul did an enter boxing.
• 4:06:35
  He gentrified it took a sport built on broken.
• 4:06:38
  Jaws in generational, trauma, and turned it into a brand
• 4:06:42
  activation. He didn't ask who's the best.
• 4:06:44
  He asked, who still has a name and bad knees and somehow boxing
• 4:06:49
  said sounds good. Jake Paul deserves credit, not
• 4:06:53
  for courage. But for precision, this man
• 4:06:55
  doesn't Dodge punches. He Dodges risk.
• 4:06:57
  He fights like an insurance adjuster who boxes on weekends,
• 4:07:00
  everything. Negotiated everything, kept
• 4:07:03
  everything safe enough, that his mother can sleep at night.
• 4:07:06
  His PR team doesn't have to work overtime.
• 4:07:09
  Anthony Joshua. Stepping into this ring is
• 4:07:11
  boxing's version of watching your childhood hero do reality
• 4:07:14
  TV. Not sad enough to look away.
• 4:07:16
  Not respecting up respectable enough to defend Susan to come
• 4:07:20
  back. This is a clearance sale.
• 4:07:22
  If This Were a real fight, a real heavyweight fight, it
• 4:07:25
  wouldn't last 10 seconds, that's not disrespect, that's physics.
• 4:07:28
  One clean shot from a focus, Joshua ends the experiment the
• 4:07:31
  brand and possibly the YouTube channel, but don't worry,
• 4:07:34
  reality has been contractually. Disinvited, we get Netflix
• 4:07:38
  violence violence, that looks dangerous, but never threatens
• 4:07:42
  the storyline punches that land just hard enough to sound good
• 4:07:45
  on surround sound but not hard enough to interrupt future
• 4:07:48
  Revenue. People keep asking is this
• 4:07:50
  fixed. No fixed implies effort.
• 4:07:53
  This is managed. Managed expectations, manage
• 4:07:56
  damage, manage creditability. Just enough to full casual and
• 4:08:00
  annoying. Real ones.
• 4:08:04
  Harold. I could keep going if you want
• 4:08:06
  but I think it's time to let the fans know how this fight.
• 4:08:10
  Went in your eyes here on. Alrighty then Speedy we have any
• 4:08:15
  fans that are right. So I'm gonna start with my
• 4:08:18
  favorite one. This one from real Square to
• 4:08:21
  Circle, I'm willing to be the next photo to get Jake Paul back
• 4:08:24
  on track. I'm 58 in a wheelchair with a
• 4:08:26
  terminal disease which seems like what his type of opponent
• 4:08:29
  would be. Ah, well my my fortune, the real
• 4:08:35
  Square Circle. I think that's a great take and
• 4:08:38
  honestly, I challenge Jake Paul plenty of times and I was a
• 4:08:42
  boxer and I was a pretty good amateur fighter, but Jake Paul
• 4:08:45
  is not gonna fight anybody in a wheelchair.
• 4:08:47
  Jake Paul will fight guys that were to that to him, are a sell,
• 4:08:53
  it a sellable product. Well, he'll fight box just he'll
• 4:08:57
  fight x movie stars or X, hockey players, or basketball players
• 4:09:01
  are MMA fighters. All the fighters that he thinks
• 4:09:04
  he could be, the only reason why he got into the ring with this
• 4:09:06
  Behemoth. This monster is because money
• 4:09:10
  talks and if he could have just landed a shot knocked out,
• 4:09:15
  somebody of this magnitude Anthony Joshua that would have
• 4:09:18
  meant more money and maybe a fight with Canelo Alvarez.
• 4:09:21
  So my opinion, I thought that was a great take but he's not
• 4:09:25
  gonna find anybody in wheelchairs or anybody in a
• 4:09:29
  position where it's not Not going to earning money.
• 4:09:31
  He wants to make as much money and in a marketing standpoint
• 4:09:34
  that's the way he's going to go. So all right, we'll go to this
• 4:09:37
  one next from potato. Squire Jake Paul has proven his
• 4:09:41
  heart desire ambition by walking into the middle of a highway and
• 4:09:43
  sanding his ground against oncoming traffic.
• 4:09:45
  Interesting. I would agree with you I mean
• 4:09:50
  walking into Anthony Joshua is like walking into traffic, a six
• 4:09:55
  foot eight 280 pound Brick House of a muscle man who just ran
• 4:10:01
  right through them. I mean he broke his joy in two
• 4:10:03
  different places. I mean there was nothing that
• 4:10:06
  really stood out to me but Jake Paul just getting his butt
• 4:10:09
  whipped and falling to his knees and practically fighting the
• 4:10:12
  fight on his knees, the whole fight.
• 4:10:14
  I mean it was pathetic. So I like to take by potato
• 4:10:17
  Square. I think he's absolutely right.
• 4:10:19
  He walked in to an opportunity of walking into traffic so I
• 4:10:24
  agree. So Arrow.
• 4:10:25
  I saw like a little clip earlier today of it looked like Joshua
• 4:10:31
  training with Alexander usyk and doing the exact move, that he
• 4:10:35
  took Paul out with getting trained by USA, how to do that
• 4:10:39
  little side step and then straight arm and caught him.
• 4:10:42
  Like it's flushes, you can. Yeah.
• 4:10:44
  Alexander you sick is now getting into movies.
• 4:10:48
  I mean, Does he need to fight anymore either?
• 4:10:50
  I mean all these guys are starting to do bigger and better
• 4:10:53
  things marketing baby, but I thought potato Square.
• 4:10:57
  I mean, absolutely great take but walking into Anthony
• 4:11:00
  Joshua's. First is like walking into
• 4:11:03
  traffic. I absolutely agree with you.
• 4:11:05
  All right, let's go to this one from Kevin Beatty to G.
• 4:11:08
  It was almost as bad as the Tyson fall.
• 4:11:10
  Tyson, Paul fight from last year.
• 4:11:12
  Absolutely terrible. What are your thoughts?
• 4:11:13
  Oh, no. I think well, the Tyson Paul
• 4:11:17
  fight that was fixed. This was just Anthony Joshua,
• 4:11:20
  wanting to beat the hell out of Jake Paul and absolutely abusing
• 4:11:24
  him in a ring. I really thought this was going.
• 4:11:27
  A lot of people believe that Jake Paul was going to pay off.
• 4:11:29
  Anthony Joshua, we were all wrong Anthony Joshua got in the
• 4:11:33
  ring and wanted to take his head off and boy, did he ever so as
• 4:11:36
  bad as Tyson and Paul know because Tyson actually landed a
• 4:11:41
  couple punches, whatever pole landed on Anthony Joshua.
• 4:11:45
  I think he smirked in smiled because it didn't really budget.
• 4:11:48
  So, all right, It's just so you brought up the possibility of
• 4:11:51
  him trying to pay it off to rig the fight.
• 4:11:53
  Let's go to this one from Jacobs l.
• 4:11:56
  I n a x Anthony Joshua shouldn't be ashamed of anything getting
• 4:11:59
  93 million. Even if he did rig the fight for
• 4:12:00
  Jake Paul, um, you're right, making 93 million dollars is a
• 4:12:05
  boatload of money, but I, I don't know if, if you're a boxer
• 4:12:09
  and you're a heavyweight champion, and you were a
• 4:12:12
  heavyweight champion of the world, and you did get knocked
• 4:12:14
  out. The last time, you fought to go
• 4:12:16
  into a ring with a non boxer, a reality TV show Disney Disney,
• 4:12:21
  what are they call it Disneyland, Disney Channel
• 4:12:24
  personality and even fully your knees.
• 4:12:27
  Once with a punch from a guy like that, that would be
• 4:12:30
  embarrassing. I thought 93 million dollars is
• 4:12:34
  93 million dollars and I would have done that for 93 million
• 4:12:36
  dollars but you don't want to be embarrassed, your your boxer
• 4:12:39
  heavyweight champion, your your belt, like a brick house.
• 4:12:43
  Like I said, and you don't want to be empowered by a two-faced
• 4:12:46
  has been, or was in. Was in a bin or what have they
• 4:12:51
  called it? A nobody.
• 4:12:52
  So, all right, last one we got Sports gossips, 333 JP for her
• 4:12:57
  and Jake Paul. Finally got his question was
• 4:12:59
  able to fight a real Contender and showed the world that he was
• 4:13:01
  just a shity as everyone thought.
• 4:13:05
  Jake, Paul hasn't fought anybody, but Anthony Joshua and
• 4:13:08
  maybe fairies, brother, but Fury's, brother stinks and he
• 4:13:12
  still got his butt with by Fury's brother.
• 4:13:15
  I mean, Jake, Paul got into the ring and if he 14 Davis, it
• 4:13:19
  would have happened the same way.
• 4:13:20
  It doesn't matter, size or not tank Davis.
• 4:13:22
  Throws very hard punches. He's got a heavy right cross and
• 4:13:27
  a left uppercut, he would have knocked Jake, Paul out and it
• 4:13:31
  would have heard maybe not as much, but heard him enough.
• 4:13:33
  I think the fact is is Anthony Joshua.
• 4:13:36
  Throws heavy and Davis would have moved circles around him
• 4:13:40
  and through probably 10 or 12 punches in in less than three
• 4:13:44
  seconds to Anthony Joshua's two or three punches in 10 seconds,
• 4:13:48
  which felt like a brick hitting him in the face.
• 4:13:51
  So, I, I absolutely agree with you, Sports gossip, 30, 300 333,
• 4:13:56
  I think he got abused and used and and I think, hopefully, we
• 4:14:02
  see the last of Jake Paul and Absolutely embarrassing
• 4:14:06
  performance by a guy that shouldn't be in a boxing ring
• 4:14:09
  with a real boxer. That's all I'm gonna say about
• 4:14:11
  that. So, that was all righty then and
• 4:14:16
  Thanked. All the fans writing and and and
• 4:14:18

• 4:14:22

  It was great. Thank you to the fans.
• 4:14:55
  All right, lady gentlemen, we're gonna when we get back we have
• 4:14:59
  our new savior tears. It's just gonna be me fish Tommy
• 4:15:04
  and Speedy tonight, so well see who wins and who runs away with
• 4:15:09
  it. Looks like it's going to be
• 4:15:09
  speedy again. Dial it up and call your shot
• 4:15:12
  but more Sports minute from the fish.
• 4:15:21
  All right guys, Aaron Fishman here with your last Sportsman of
• 4:15:24
  the evening, got a couple more stories before we get into the
• 4:15:27
  scores on Friday. The NBA released a memo to all
• 4:15:30
  teams detailing, new guidelines for injury information and
• 4:15:34
  changes in prop betting in an effort to combat the epidemic of
• 4:15:37
  gambling issues running rampant in the NBA with Hall of Famers,
• 4:15:41
  coaches and current players. Involve the NBA's looking to
• 4:15:43
  modify the rules and regulations specifically in relation to
• 4:15:46
  sports betting, but outlines six different areas to improve upon
• 4:15:50
  in the mental, the areas included prop, betting injury
• 4:15:54
  reporting, hanking upgrades to gambling education, measures to
• 4:15:58
  protect players, coaches and Personnel from Angry Sports
• 4:16:02
  Bettors and enhancements to its ability to investigate unusual
• 4:16:06
  betting activity. While the currently the NBA and
• 4:16:09
  they are not alone. Looking at you robbed, man.
• 4:16:11
  For it. Has had plenty of egg on its
• 4:16:14
  face since opening Pandora's Box back in 2018.
• 4:16:17
  Almost immediately, by the way, after his Supreme Court struck
• 4:16:20
  down the band on gambling that summer.
• 4:16:21
  While blame is easy to give out in this situation, I think the
• 4:16:27
  league or its Partners want to give up the bag.
• 4:16:29
  They're getting for this deal with the devil.
• 4:16:30
  Adam Silver is Right making the right move though.
• 4:16:32
  Perhaps a little late for the league to save face.
• 4:16:35
  He is right. The regulation of the market is
• 4:16:38
  what needs to happen since history.
• 4:16:39
  Tells us that this is likely a genie.
• 4:16:42
  That cannot be put back in the bottle.
• 4:16:44
  And before the start of the lion Steelers game on Sunday, there
• 4:16:48
  was an incident between Star Steelers receiver, DK Metcalf
• 4:16:52
  and unruly Lions fan in a video that is now gone.
• 4:16:55
  Viral Metcalf is seeing talking to a lions fan.
• 4:16:57
  Wearing a blue streamer wig. Over the railing of fieldside
• 4:17:00
  seas before the game and then gives them a straight arm shove
• 4:17:03
  before walking away. Metcalf was not punished before
• 4:17:06
  the game, but the league has now suspended DK Metcalf for two
• 4:17:08
  games, ending his regular season.
• 4:17:11
  According to the fan only did was use metcalf's given name to
• 4:17:15
  Kaylin zakarias, which prompted Metcalf to swipe at him.
• 4:17:19
  I called him that and then he grabbed me and ripped my shirt
• 4:17:21
  guy named. Kennedy told the free Paris.
• 4:17:24
  I'm a little shocked, like, everyone's talking to me, I'm a
• 4:17:27
  little rattled, but I just want the Lions to win baby Metcalf.
• 4:17:31
  For his part, said the fan used more than just his birth name in
• 4:17:35
  his conversation. With him saying he used a racial
• 4:17:37
  slur and a vulgar expletive directed towards metcal mother.
• 4:17:41
  Either way, the Lions fan didn't help his team.
• 4:17:44
  Get his team out of the win, but Metcalf will be a little lighter
• 4:17:46
  in the pockets appears. He still will be the one with
• 4:17:49
  the less laugh. Last laugh as he likely heads to
• 4:17:52
  the playoffs in the first year of his massive deal with the
• 4:17:55
  Pittsburgh Steelers guys, we're streaming live on tiktok

• 4:18:22
  and the mouse. And the mouse show, I like anal
• 4:18:31
  Java takes it up. The I think he is bigger than
• 4:18:34
  your fish, is not a panty driver.
• 4:18:38
  Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah six three one six seven two.
• 4:18:44
  Thirty one. Oh, eight is the number to call?
• 4:18:46
  Yes. That's a touchdown Right In The
• 4:18:49
  End Zone. I don't know if it touched the
• 4:18:51
  ground, we'll see how they tongues or tongues.
• 4:18:54
  Whatever his name is, you're listening to Jabba and the
• 4:18:58
  mouth. I'm your host, the one and only
• 4:19:00
  are all bar Duty Dodger, and my co-host tonight.
• 4:19:04
  The Speedy peedy executive producer, Mr. Aaron Fish
• 4:19:08
  Fishman. And there it is McCaffrey with
• 4:19:10
  another touchdown. So I guess that's good for you.
• 4:19:13
  But how many points am I behind you?
• 4:19:16
  I don't know. You got a look. 30.
• 4:19:22
  I'm literally. Just under 30 points behind you.
• 4:19:25
  I don't think I'm coming back. Yeah, you put up 150 on me
• 4:19:29
  Arrow. What am I supposed to do about
• 4:19:30
  that? No, I did.
• 4:19:32
  It's, oh my God. In my other league.
• 4:19:35
  I'm 1.3 points. Still winning.
• 4:19:39
  He has kiddle. I thought I was already over,
• 4:19:41
  but I just need kidnap to do anything or fumble, which would
• 4:19:45
  be interesting. But I just like, He needs a
• 4:19:51
  seven-yard reception and that'll tie here's the thing.
• 4:19:55
  I if I were the 49ers I wouldn't continue playing some of these
• 4:19:59
  guys. You're putting your team and
• 4:20:01
  harms way. I think you're one running away
• 4:20:03
  with this game. I don't know why you continue to
• 4:20:06
  play like this. But, Hey, listen.
• 4:20:08
  This is Kyle Shanahan. And this is why Kyle Shane hands
• 4:20:10
  an idiot. And I've said this many, many
• 4:20:12
  times. I think he's one of the most to
• 4:20:15
  me. One of the most highly overrated
• 4:20:17
  coaches in the NFL. I never liked him.
• 4:20:20
  I thought he was just highly overrated.
• 4:20:22
  All right, ladies, Little man we call this.
• 4:20:25
  Save your tears, mom. What's one thing that you can't
• 4:20:29
  talk to me about my sexual fantasy?
• 4:20:32
  He's not ideal, but if it's what it is, not ideal, but it's just
• 4:20:38
  not ideal. But if it is, what me you Save
• 4:20:51
  your dear. Here.
• 4:20:53
  All right, guys. Welcome back to save.
• 4:20:57
  And it's a game where you can't cry about anything because the
• 4:20:59
  tears need to be saved. We got 15 Dollar cap.
• 4:21:02
  We're gonna do week 17 docket right now.
• 4:21:06
  Again Speedy is already clinched but now it's just, you know,
• 4:21:10
  just for show Speedy. See, how big of a score you can
• 4:21:14
  run up on us. Here we go.
• 4:21:16
  We're gonna do the Christmas Day games.
• 4:21:17
  I picked all of those games. Here we are, blow my back box
• 4:21:21
  for tonight. All right, so at and here are
• 4:21:25
  the games, I'll read it off to the people who are listening
• 4:21:27
  back in the radio world or on podcast land again we are all so
• 4:21:33
  on video if you are watching we have a lot of great graphics and
• 4:21:36
  stuff that we do here. But right now listen up we got
• 4:21:39
  the five dollar quarterback Dak Prescott Fall by four dollar
• 4:21:42
  Jared golf three for Bo Nicks and it gets kind of hairy after
• 4:21:46
  that. Max brasmer is the two dollar
• 4:21:48
  player with don't know who is gonna be the quarterback for
• 4:21:52
  Washington and this one, I didn't want to put Ola token in
• 4:21:56
  there. So it's either Josh Johnson or
• 4:21:59
  Marcus Mariota for a buck. If he plays at running back,
• 4:22:03
  Jamir Gibbs coming off of terrible performance.
• 4:22:05
  Threatening to end my fantasy season for five dollars.
• 4:22:08
  All by jonte Williams RJ Harvey, Aaron Jones and Chris Rodriguez
• 4:22:14
  for a buck at wide receiver one, what I did it wide receiver, I
• 4:22:17
  put at both five dollars. I put the Cowboys receivers,
• 4:22:21
  George Pickens, and ceedee lamb at four dollars.
• 4:22:23
  I put both Lions receivers. I'm on Ross, ain't Brown and
• 4:22:27
  Jameson Williams at three dollars, just in Jefferson.
• 4:22:30
  How the mighty have fallen and cause I mean, he does have
• 4:22:33
  Rosemary throwing to him and Courtland Sutton for three for
• 4:22:36
  two dollars. Rashi rice, who has Ola token
• 4:22:38
  throwing to him and Terry McLaurin.
• 4:22:41
  Scary Terry. At 2 Depo Samuel, you can get
• 4:22:44
  for a buck and as you can Jordan, Addison, oh, I think
• 4:22:47
  dropped every ball thrown to him last week at tight end, Jake
• 4:22:51
  Ferguson for five, TJ. Hockenson followed by Travis
• 4:22:54
  Kelce, Evan Ingram and Jake. Bates.
• 4:22:57
  Rounded it out Speedy since you won.
• 4:23:00
  You pick the order tonight, all right, Scoops are starting off
• 4:23:03
  tonight. Who do the Broncos play again
• 4:23:05
  Chiefs the Chiefs Hmm. Yeah, so the matchups are
• 4:23:10
  Broncos. Chiefs cap the Cowboys have,
• 4:23:15
  who's speeding? I think the Vikings are playing.
• 4:23:16
  Oh Washington and Vikings play lines.
• 4:23:18
  Okay, the Vikings Lions Cowboys and commanders staying in the
• 4:23:24
  division. Both of those matchups.
• 4:23:25
  What he got Tommy. Okay, I'm gonna go start off
• 4:23:28
  three dollars bonix. and then I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go two
• 4:23:33
  dollars, Aaron Jones, Give me George Pickens for five bucks
• 4:23:37
  and surrounded off. I should have five bucks.
• 4:23:41
  I believe I'm gonna have Sutton and Evan Ingram's to finish it.
• 4:23:47
  And who did you have that running back again?
• 4:23:49
  Aaron Jones over two dollars. All right, and Aaron Jones.
• 4:23:54
  So I got Nick's Jones picking and angry grandma, who's next?
• 4:23:59
  You All right, let me just finish with the graphic.
• 4:24:04
  I forgot to do some of this stuff like an idiot.
• 4:24:07
  All right, so here we go. I am going to take it's real
• 4:24:11
  thin at quarterback on this one. This week, I am going to take
• 4:24:14
  DAC. Prescott against that hapless
• 4:24:17
  defense. I'm gonna spend five bucks there
• 4:24:19
  at running back. This one, tough one.
• 4:24:25
  I think the Chiefs are packing it in.
• 4:24:28
  Give me RJ Harvey. At receiver, I can get a little
• 4:24:33
  bit more value here. So I've spent eight bucks, I
• 4:24:38
  don't really care about tight end in this one.
• 4:24:42
  I think so I'm just gonna spend the Dollar on baits.
• 4:24:47
  So that gives me six bucks for these last two picks, and I'm
• 4:24:51
  gonna go Saint Brown. Actually do I want to go that?
• 4:24:55
  No, I'm gonna actually I'm gonna backtrack.
• 4:24:57
  I'm gonna go You know, he really favors Pickens more these days.
• 4:25:02
  It feels like it's feels like a game Pickens is going to go.
• 4:25:05
  Well so I'm gonna go pick insult.
• 4:25:07
  So And that gives me a dollar. I'll add a similar so bad last
• 4:25:13
  week maybe bounces back this week that Harvey Pickens,
• 4:25:17
  Addison and Bates. Who's next beating Arrow?
• 4:25:21
  Whose phone explained Chiefs. Chiefs, I'm gonna go Bo Nicks,
• 4:25:28
  Jameer Gibbs. Justin Jefferson.
• 4:25:34
  How many do I have 11? So you got four left, Terri
• 4:25:38
  McClure in and Evan engram. All right, I got you for Nick's
• 4:25:46
  Gibbs. Jefferson McLaurin and Ingram
• 4:25:50
  Speedy. What you got?
• 4:25:50
  All right, so I'm gonna go with Nick's as well.
• 4:25:53
  I'm gonna take RJ Harvey. I'm gonna take, I'll take anger
• 4:25:57
  at 2, which combination of the other receivers I wanted.
• 4:26:00
  So it's a four and three combination.
• 4:26:03
  I'll go Saint Brown and son. I almost did that.
• 4:26:09
  All right. And Speedy rounding it out.
• 4:26:12
  Nick's Harvey Saint Brown sudden and Ingram we will go through
• 4:26:17
  this next week on Monday. Again, we're not gonna have a
• 4:26:20
  show on Thursday this week, next episode will be next Monday.
• 4:26:26
  See you then? Save your tears.
• 4:26:28
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, we got two more segments.
• 4:26:31
  We call the next segment, dial it up.
• 4:26:34
  Win up. This regular scheduled an
• 4:26:37
  important news for. We got up.
• 4:26:38
  I like anal. Here we go.
• 4:26:47
  Love everybody's favorite, lightning round sports segment
• 4:26:51
  deal here. We're gonna have four stories
• 4:26:53
  tonight. Errol has not heard what we're
• 4:26:56
  going to cover. We're gonna react to his
• 4:26:57
  reaction when he dials it up to 11.
• 4:27:01
  Here we go with the first story. It's one that we covered as our
• 4:27:04
  main story a couple weeks ago. It's Sharon Moore's meltdown
• 4:27:10
  being revealed. I mean I don't know if you saw
• 4:27:14
  this Arrow, if you haven't, it's ridiculous.
• 4:27:17
  I mean, he's in everyone's DMS, only fans models.
• 4:27:21
  He's trying to get with with people during games.
• 4:27:25
  He's texting. Apparently, he melted down so
• 4:27:28
  badly during the season. Spiraling out of controls making
• 4:27:33
  scenes, in front of the coaching staff, it's amazing that they
• 4:27:37
  still played. Well, this is a guy who knew he
• 4:27:41
  was going to be fired for a couple of months as it was going
• 4:27:45
  on. He said that told his wife that
• 4:27:47
  he was going to kill himself. She took a knife from the
• 4:27:52
  Mistresses house that he broke into and told her that she was
• 4:27:56
  gonna watch him kill himself with a butter knife and force in
• 4:28:00
  the watch. And then the wife it's I mean,
• 4:28:04
  there's like famous only fans models involved.
• 4:28:07
  Now, this guy is in his gonna be, I mean Harold this was the
• 4:28:13
  blue blood program. Literally of college football.
• 4:28:17
  What are they? What are they left with?
• 4:28:19
  After this? Dial.
• 4:28:21
  It up. They're not, they're left with
• 4:28:23
  nothing. I mean, Jim Harbaugh sitting
• 4:28:26
  pretty with the chargers, there's really nothing to talk
• 4:28:28
  about, but this guy's been an absolute joke, the organization
• 4:28:31
  the program has really been washed away after all, the
• 4:28:35
  different stuff that's happened with Connor, stallions and and,
• 4:28:38
  and the, the prosecution of of the program and and to me to be
• 4:28:45
  left with the program and left this guy with the program in the
• 4:28:48
  disgrace of the and him disgrace in the program, the way he did
• 4:28:51
  with this is Despicable, I there's nothing to say more than
• 4:28:55
  this guy. Was the wrong guy to take over
• 4:28:57
  this team and wrong guy to take over this program.
• 4:29:00
  And now you see what where this program is going.
• 4:29:03
  It's heading in the gutter, they need to bring the right guy.
• 4:29:05
  Is it Deborah? Whoever they decide to bring in
• 4:29:08
  the app to bring in the right guy?
• 4:29:09
  Because the mistake moving from Jim Harbaugh to this guy who's
• 4:29:13
  been an absolute joke is just empowering.
• 4:29:15
  Absolutely embarrassing. There's nothing more to say
• 4:29:17
  butter knife. How everybody knows?
• 4:29:20
  You can't kill yourself with a Butter knife.
• 4:29:22
  And if you can, that would be a world record because I've never
• 4:29:25
  heard anybody try to threaten himself a stabbing himself with
• 4:29:28
  a butter knife. So it just shows out despicable
• 4:29:30
  the person is and all the things that he's done on and off the
• 4:29:33
  field. Yeah, it just shows how badly
• 4:29:34
  we've talked about that a few weeks ago.
• 4:29:36
  The athletic director looks for trying to cover this up even
• 4:29:38
  more. And again, Jim Harbaugh how much
• 4:29:40
  you about it. The other coaches, how much they
• 4:29:41
  knew about it. Just really looks bad, all at
• 4:29:43
  once, and you're gonna lose a lot of reputation as a program.
• 4:29:45
  If you keep this athletic director here, I don't think
• 4:29:47
  Caitlin divorce going anywhere. I think he'll stay at Alabama,
• 4:29:49
  if they extended more and you're gonna lose the reputation.
• 4:29:52
  Remember they have all the sanctions on them too, all the
• 4:29:54
  recruiting of violations stuff like that.
• 4:29:56
  So that's coming a less desirable job as the name.
• 4:29:59
  Michigan stands even though because they can't win a
• 4:30:02
  championship. I mean, how many years do that
• 4:30:04
  have to wait until they can actually play in that that
• 4:30:08
  tournament? I, it's just, it's an
• 4:30:10
  embarrassment, he's in embarrassment, and Jim Harbaugh
• 4:30:13
  made the wrong decision, obviously of giving him that job
• 4:30:17
  after he walked away from it. So, I think it was just an
• 4:30:20
  absolute debacle. The program needs the right guy
• 4:30:23
  in position and maybe making the right pitch to divorce and
• 4:30:27
  giving him whatever he wants. Maybe we'll draw him away from
• 4:30:30
  the Alabama Crimson Tide. Or maybe making a pitch to Nick
• 4:30:34
  Saban somebody of that magnitude, they need, they need
• 4:30:38
  somebody that's very well-respected in the industry.
• 4:30:41
  All right, let's keep it with college football.
• 4:30:43
  And this one, I found to be very fascinating.
• 4:30:47
  It wasn't just some blue blood programs changing things up.
• 4:30:52
  It was also Notre Dame who ditched their 100 Year rivalry
• 4:30:58
  with USC. To play a home and home series
• 4:31:03
  with BYU in this in the next two seasons.
• 4:31:06
  So The Story Goes USC wanted to play only early in the game
• 4:31:13
  early in the season. They didn't want to play later
• 4:31:16
  on in the year and Notre Dame. They didn't want to do that.
• 4:31:19
  They wanted to have, you know, because they're not in a
• 4:31:22
  conference. They want to play, you know, a
• 4:31:25
  balanced schedule for themselves.
• 4:31:26
  They don't want to have these unfair situations.
• 4:31:29
  Where, you know, the SEC schools can face Chattanooga State as
• 4:31:34
  was. So famously said, early a couple
• 4:31:37
  weeks ago, When I think was by, who was at speed?
• 4:31:41
  He was one of those was it was someone in the ten.
• 4:31:44
  I think it was Dan Lanning, making fun of the sea for having
• 4:31:48
  us soft out of conference schedule earlier in the year.
• 4:31:50
  Well, Notre Dame. They don't want to play the
• 4:31:54
  tough teams earlier in the year either, right?
• 4:31:56
  I mean, look at Texas. Texas started off with Ohio
• 4:31:58
  State. So what do they do?
• 4:32:00
  It was the two teams that got screwed by the college football,
• 4:32:02
  playoff Ferrell Notre Dame. And BYU saying, we're gonna Buck
• 4:32:06
  history and we're gonna cause problems for the college
• 4:32:10
  football staff here. And we're just gonna do what
• 4:32:13
  ourselves look at this. They got rid of one of the most
• 4:32:17
  famous rivalries to make a statement.
• 4:32:19
  Notre Dame's making a pretty loud statement.
• 4:32:22
  This offseason I like I like it, you have to what I believe the
• 4:32:28
  committee did to them, not getting them into the playoffs.
• 4:32:31
  I think they just wanted to drop the hammer, they wanted to
• 4:32:34
  punish to me the committee and and the college football fan,
• 4:32:38
  and why not do it this way? Take away.
• 4:32:41
  USC, not have to deal with the USC.
• 4:32:43
  What the hell happened over here?
• 4:32:45
  Oh God, the winters. I have no turning first ever
• 4:32:50
  pick six but it was a pick six but I, yeah, it's absolutely, I
• 4:32:56
  think Notre Dame's making a statement.
• 4:32:58
  Obviously, to the committee and what they did to them.
• 4:33:00
  And and BYU is a good football program.
• 4:33:03
  It's proven to be a good football program but USC Nora
• 4:33:07
  Dame. That's something that you
• 4:33:08
  couldn't wait for that's something that you can't.
• 4:33:10
  You always look forward to every single year and I think Notre
• 4:33:14
  Dame is making it making their statement loud and clear you did
• 4:33:17
  this to us. You did we didn't play in a bowl
• 4:33:19
  game this year and now we're just not giving what the fans,
• 4:33:23
  what the programs want, what the fans want is USC, in order to
• 4:33:26
  dance. So, I believe what they did with
• 4:33:29
  the committee, did to them, not letting him get into the
• 4:33:31
  playoff, was one of the main reasons why they decided to pull
• 4:33:34
  this one off. And I I really do believe
• 4:33:37
  noordam was trying to make a statement with this after what
• 4:33:40
  they did to them. So I think it's a slam dunk.
• 4:33:41
  I think Notre Dame should do this and and let the committee.
• 4:33:45
  Know that if you scroll us again, we'll do something else
• 4:33:46
  so so I mean, Errol everyone remembers the USC, Texas
• 4:33:52
  National Championship Game, Vince Young famously beating the
• 4:33:57
  Reggie Bush, matte liner, possibly the greatest college
• 4:34:00
  football game I've ever seen. Yep, but people forget earlier
• 4:34:03
  that season, there was something really interesting that
• 4:34:05
  happened. It was USC Notre Dame when it
• 4:34:09
  was called the bush. And they were just pushing him
• 4:34:12
  over the pile. To get the touchdown and it was
• 4:34:15
  very controversial and it's something that happens all the
• 4:34:19
  time right now. I mean, you can go back to Joe
• 4:34:22
  Montana playing against USC in the 70s.
• 4:34:25
  This is a storied rivalry. Yep.
• 4:34:28
  And I think it's going to show you that.
• 4:34:31
  The era of college football where these things mattered,
• 4:34:35
  it's over. It's just not as important
• 4:34:38
  anymore. It's hard to believe that we're
• 4:34:40
  saying this, but they can't sell that rivalry at a Spite and out
• 4:34:44
  of pettiness to what the college football playoff did, so to
• 4:34:47
  them. And they're just saying screw
• 4:34:49
  it. That's all that matters.
• 4:34:50
  Now, who cares if we play USC, there are some other time and as
• 4:34:54
  well as they showed they were in the driver's seat and they want
• 4:34:57
  to tell the committee you do this to us again.
• 4:35:00
  We'll do something else. It's pretty simple.
• 4:35:01
  It's to me. It's despicable the way they
• 4:35:04
  treated in order to damage was Despicable how they treated
• 4:35:06
  Florida State a couple of years ago.
• 4:35:08
  I don't care if you don't have your Star Quarterback.
• 4:35:10
  If you have an undefeated record and you played who was on your
• 4:35:14
  schedule, you did it at an undefeated season, you should be
• 4:35:17
  in the college football playoff and they were not defeated, but
• 4:35:20
  they were better than some of these teams James Madison.
• 4:35:23
  They were better than James Madison.
• 4:35:24
  Absolutely. Despicable to me, regretful the
• 4:35:29
  fact that I, I saw her Jeremiah Of sit there and I wanted to ask
• 4:35:33
  him that question but I didn't want to hurt his feelings and I
• 4:35:36
  didn't want to create any tension between me and him as a
• 4:35:40
  media guy. So I just kept my mouth shut.
• 4:35:42
  That's why I regretful not regretted not to do it because
• 4:35:45
  that would have been a great take and and a great recording
• 4:35:48
  but you know things happen. Yeah, fish I want to mention it
• 4:35:51
  just to follow up on what you said.
• 4:35:53
  Like that whole rivalry aspect these scheduled always I think
• 4:35:56
  they played every year since 1946 and now all of a sudden
• 4:35:59
  you're gonna just base it on the timing of oh we don't want to
• 4:36:01
  play him late in the season type thing.
• 4:36:03
  It looks bad on that their front.
• 4:36:05
  I think it also kind of looks bad for you see though because
• 4:36:07
  you lose a quality game each year too?
• 4:36:08
  Like you're not playing the hardest schedule compared to
• 4:36:11
  some of these other teams that are in your conference and like
• 4:36:13
  you play Norman every year, they'll be a quality win.
• 4:36:16
  If you do end up getting that win, I think BYU actually looks
• 4:36:18
  really good in this. Getting Notre Dame every year
• 4:36:19
  for equality. When because your big 12
• 4:36:21
  schedule is not super hard compared to some of the other
• 4:36:23
  ones. So you're getting a good
• 4:36:24
  independent win too. If you can get that, yes,
• 4:36:27
  Speedy. I was looking it up.
• 4:36:28
  The only the two reasons. Actually, the last time they
• 4:36:31
  didn't play was In 2021, they didn't play during covid 20.
• 4:36:33
  Okay. Yeah, right.
• 4:36:35
  But the only other reason they haven't played Errol is because
• 4:36:38
  a World War Two. They didn't play from 1943 to
• 4:36:41
  1945. That is the only reason why they
• 4:36:45
  had him played so much for his history.
• 4:36:47
  I guess, let's move on. Let's get into some professional
• 4:36:51
  footballer. All you're gonna love this one.
• 4:36:53
  Yes, this is the Eagles. Celebrating their NFC East Crown
• 4:36:58
  by not celebrating. The, the model was been there.
• 4:37:03
  One that really, I would argue one of the best celebrations
• 4:37:09
  shirts for something that, you know, as a Giants fan, I would
• 4:37:12
  love to see in NFC East title. I don't remember what that's
• 4:37:17
  like. It's been about 12 Seasons last,
• 4:37:19
  I checked, since they've won one, it might be more, I could
• 4:37:23
  be wrong, but I do know that they haven't won one in a long
• 4:37:27
  time. The Eagles don't seem to care
• 4:37:29
  though. So they are celebrating by
• 4:37:31
  saying been there. One that I thought you'd
• 4:37:33
  appreciate it. All why don't you?
• 4:37:35
  It's funny how the Giants get brought into the conversation
• 4:37:40
  saquon. I love it, it's definitely funny
• 4:37:47
  but I agree with them. There's nothing to cheer about
• 4:37:50
  you won the division now. Now you're going into the
• 4:37:53
  playoffs, you got to make a statement, you had a bad season
• 4:37:55
  and the playoffs. Sure.
• 4:37:57
  A new season, go out there. Play your hearts out and and do
• 4:38:00
  what you were. Expected to do this year, be an
• 4:38:02
  elite team, be the top team in the NFC.
• 4:38:04
  You haven't been all season long and put up a shot up time now,
• 4:38:08
  say Kwan Barkley needs to show up and do what he's supposed to
• 4:38:11
  do. AJ, Brown Smith and Jalen hurts,
• 4:38:14
  and this defense, which is Elite and, and Carter spitting at
• 4:38:19
  people's faces and doing all the stupid stuff that they've done
• 4:38:22
  on and off on the field and off the fields on some of the things
• 4:38:25
  that has happened. That could all change if they go
• 4:38:28
  right back to the Super Bowl and make a statements.
• 4:38:30
  So Go out there and put up or shut up and that's really the
• 4:38:33
  main thing about it, too. I mean, the like I grew a fish
• 4:38:36
  that's probably one of the cooler.
• 4:38:37
  I would say things that you can write on a shirt.
• 4:38:40
  But the thing is that the team already won the Super Bowl team
• 4:38:43
  already won the NFC East last year and this is a Eagles team
• 4:38:47
  that we've already well documented and well speculated
• 4:38:49
  the last couple of weeks that hasn't really played all that
• 4:38:52
  well now they played pretty well enough.
• 4:38:54
  Of course to go and get the job done and get the actual NFC East
• 4:38:56
  Championship, which fun fact that hasn't been clinched.
• 4:38:59
  And since I would say over 20 years in 2004 2005, when the
• 4:39:04
  Eagles lasted it, and that Super Bowl era, what they had Andy
• 4:39:07
  Reid, but point being is, this is a team that hasn't played
• 4:39:11
  well, so celebrating for winning the NFC East.
• 4:39:14
  That's cool and all that's great and all but you guys just won
• 4:39:18
  the Super Bowl and like their old said that is now your
• 4:39:20
  measuring stick. Now, it's a huge measuring stick
• 4:39:22
  when it's over there at it being the Super Bowl.
• 4:39:24
  But you guys got it done last year, you have to get it done
• 4:39:27
  this year, there's no exception from that.
• 4:39:29
  All right, we got one more story, guys.
• 4:39:31
  Here for dial it up. Here it is.
• 4:39:35
  It's was a funny one. I don't know if you caught this
• 4:39:37
  one Arrow, but there was in college basketball.
• 4:39:40
  Certainly in a season still. But Georgetown basketball coach
• 4:39:44
  Ed. Cooley accidentally pegged the
• 4:39:47
  kid with a water bottle and is suspended for the next game.
• 4:39:51
  I don't know if you saw this. This is a coach who's very
• 4:39:54
  demonstrative on the sidelines. Anyway, the calls don't go his
• 4:39:59
  way his team gets the open shot at the end of the game and guess
• 4:40:04
  what? It's like, one of the ugliest
• 4:40:05
  bricks you've ever seen. He loses his mind turns around
• 4:40:08
  throws. A water bottle, didn't realize
• 4:40:11
  he was throwing a stands where a mother was holding a kid on her
• 4:40:15
  lap and the bottle. Hit the kid right in the face.
• 4:40:19
  Not exactly a great look for the Georgetown basketball program or
• 4:40:25
  its head coach Harrell. It made me just want to thank
• 4:40:30
  and ask you about some of the dumbest stuff you've seen
• 4:40:33
  coaches do and Your career coaching as well as being a fan.
• 4:40:38
  When you Well, I remember Jeff Van Gundy hanging on one of
• 4:40:44
  Alonzo mornings leg. I remember that and we've asked
• 4:40:49
  Chris Childs about that particular situation, but yeah,
• 4:40:54
  there was a lot of things that I've seen and Ed.
• 4:40:56
  I don't know much about Ed Cooley and what he does.
• 4:40:59
  But Georgetown, I know. He's got a strong personality.
• 4:41:02
  You do stupid things. I don't think he purposely tried
• 4:41:06
  to pay a kid. I really don't believe that.
• 4:41:09
  I think his adrenaline rush and his, his aggressiveness is, what
• 4:41:15
  caused the problem, obviously, and he got suspended for it, but
• 4:41:19
  I don't think he intentionally tried to hurt anybody.
• 4:41:22
  I really don't believe that. Unfortunately, it didn't it
• 4:41:26
  didn't bold well for him and Georgetown, basketball and, but
• 4:41:30
  again, I've seen a lot of crazy things over the years and
• 4:41:32
  college football, baseball college.
• 4:41:35
  Baseball. I've seen in College college
• 4:41:38
  basketball. I seen it in the NBA, I've seen
• 4:41:40
  in the NFL, I've seen a lot of crazy things.
• 4:41:42
  So, I mean, Rex trying got Mark, Sanchez.
• 4:41:46
  His tattoo to his, his leg, or his arm and then he got it
• 4:41:50
  removed. So I've seen a lot of crazy
• 4:41:52
  things. And yeah, things that I don't
• 4:41:54
  want to remember so but not surprised that he gets suspended
• 4:41:57
  but also, you know, with it with an adrenaline rush you don't
• 4:42:00
  know what you're gonna do on a yeah, for a fiery coach too,
• 4:42:03
  like he's always been that way these personalities always been
• 4:42:06
  that way going back to his days. Yes.
• 4:42:08
  Jeff at your school Providence that he was definitely.
• 4:42:11
  Let's have a coach too. And you stood by him, Jeff
• 4:42:13
  saying by he was one of the better coaches.
• 4:42:15
  I thought he was very underrated for a while too.
• 4:42:17
  But yeah, again fired up there. Just got the best of that time
• 4:42:20
  but yeah, definitely one of the weirdest things and yeah, I
• 4:42:22
  probably didn't mean to win a perfectly that's such a older
• 4:42:25
  coaching. He would tell me.
• 4:42:26
  I like anal service. Suspension, it's one game, take
• 4:42:29
  it. I love Lisa Ann guys.
• 4:42:31
  Have you ever seen a coach Throw a chair.
• 4:42:36
  Across a park a floor. Well Bobby Knight used to do it
• 4:42:40
  regularly back in the day in basketball and he was one of the
• 4:42:44
  most emotional coaches out there.
• 4:42:45
  It used to be a respected thing. Obviously got him in trouble
• 4:42:49
  from time to time. He went past over the line
• 4:42:51
  memory choked out of player but I would say.
• 4:42:56
  And Tommy, you could follow me if you got anything, I, I just
• 4:43:00
  spent a whole four years or however long.
• 4:43:02
  It was watching Brian dabel. Just like burst blood vessels in
• 4:43:06
  his face. And then instead of throwing
• 4:43:09
  stuff, he would just drop things.
• 4:43:10
  Remember like he was like, looking at Daniel Jones and he
• 4:43:13
  had, like the tablet in his hand.
• 4:43:14
  And he's just like looking at like, oh my God, he just would
• 4:43:17
  like, like, drop it and like walk away.
• 4:43:19
  That's even worse than throwing something.
• 4:43:21
  I feel like, I feel like that's just like, I just give up.
• 4:43:25
  This is pathetic. You suck.
• 4:43:27
  Screw you. I hate you.
• 4:43:29
  And that's what I was dealing with.
• 4:43:31
  So I think Giants, fans have seen a whole bunch of that as a
• 4:43:35
  coach myself, one time I had to bear hug, my old football coach,
• 4:43:38
  I was just as assistant coach for is he almost lost his mind
• 4:43:41
  on the official. So I just walk from behind.
• 4:43:43
  I was at my strongest. Bear hug them, pick them up, and
• 4:43:47
  then walked them back to the sidelines.
• 4:43:48
  So he didn't get suspended for the rest of the game in the next
• 4:43:50
  week's game as we needed on that that season for sure.
• 4:43:55
  He got anything Tommy from your experiences in sports know,
• 4:43:59
  honestly, really not not much craziness when it comes to coach
• 4:44:03
  really. Honestly, the only craziness I
• 4:44:06
  was gonna mention as a coach that really I've ever seen, was
• 4:44:09
  gonna be what you just mentioned, of course.
• 4:44:11
  So Bobby Knight and fun fact, with Bobby.
• 4:44:13
  Knight is actually the day. He actually passed away was my
• 4:44:16
  first day on the show. Oh, that's actually quite
• 4:44:20
  interesting. But, yeah, that's that's when
• 4:44:22
  you think of an Irate coach or whatever, throwing the chairs
• 4:44:26
  and Bobby Knight definitely. That's like the person that came
• 4:44:28
  to mind with me. But, no, I haven't really, I
• 4:44:30
  don't And he story of such. So.
• 4:44:34
  I have I have one that we've talked about on this show, I
• 4:44:37
  just wanted to show the clip of before we finish.
• 4:44:39
  He remembers this one and how it ended.
• 4:44:42
  Well some of you may remember this part of it a little bit
• 4:44:48
  better where he steals third base.
• 4:44:50
  Walks to second base. Throws it into the short,
• 4:44:55
  Outfield. And then gets on his hands, and
• 4:44:58
  he's an army crawls to the rosin bag on the pitchers mound.
• 4:45:04
  A lot of suspense here. Getting his sights, pulls the
• 4:45:07
  cord bites, the pin and throws the grenade that in my opinion
• 4:45:12
  is the greatest of all time. That's liquor guys.
• 4:45:15
  This has been another great episode.
• 4:45:18
  Fuck my window. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 4:45:21
  our final segment of the night because I'm tired, I'm worn out.
• 4:45:27
  Thank God. Call your shot.
• 4:45:29
  I'm not an ex's and Ohs guy, right?
• 4:45:32
  I'm not a tactician. I'm a motivator in the classic
• 4:45:34
  sense of the word, you know, Lombardi, Charles Lindbergh,
• 4:45:37
  that none over in India, like those people call you.
• 4:45:43
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, call your shot.
• 4:45:46
  It's pretty simple. The the thought to this game is
• 4:45:50
  pretty simple. We're gonna give you a take.
• 4:45:54
  A prediction and we're gonna call it.
• 4:45:57
  And maybe it'll happen, maybe it won't, but we're gonna call the
• 4:46:00
  shot. And you're going to give us a
• 4:46:03
  reason why it couldn't happen. All right, so I'm gonna go With
• 4:46:07
  Speedy. First Tommy fish me.
• 4:46:09
  Here we go. All right, fish.
• 4:46:10
  I'm gonna to something that you mentioned, I believe in your
• 4:46:12
  first Sportsman. And that was the fact that Bobby
• 4:46:14
  Petrino is returning to North Carolina as Bill.
• 4:46:17
  Belichick's offensive car previously.
• 4:46:19
  The head coach of Louisville coach Lamar Jackson, and then
• 4:46:22
  had a terrible sin in the NFL, probably one of the worst ones
• 4:46:25
  ever with the Atlanta Falcons and where did coach before that
• 4:46:28
  Louisville, at that time as well.
• 4:46:31
  So their coach Jeff, bruh. I'm just signed a contract
• 4:46:34
  extension with Louisville after they almost one of the ones
• 4:46:36
  almost at the Penn State job, but he's highly town.
• 4:46:40
  And so I do not think Jeff brohm will stay there at Louisville.
• 4:46:43
  I think he will get a better offer too, maybe Michigan.
• 4:46:45
  When all the sanctions go up, maybe he's a candidate for them
• 4:46:47
  down the road and guess where, I think they're gonna go again,
• 4:46:51
  because, why not? Because he's a good offensive.
• 4:46:53
  Mind did well with Lamar Jackson won a Heisman over there.
• 4:46:55
  Why not for falling program? Like Louisville?
• 4:46:57
  And the AC say Bobby Petrino for a third stint in a year or two
• 4:47:01
  with Louisville as a head coach, again.
• 4:47:06
  Hey, I can't get enough of Petrina.
• 4:47:08
  Belichick. And Katrina.
• 4:47:11
  Be the end of it. It's the accent, they're not the
• 4:47:13
  brightest. All right.
• 4:47:15
  So I've got one, I maybe this is more wishful thinking but for
• 4:47:20
  me, I know that he gets a lot of flack, but he's still one of the
• 4:47:24
  better programs in the NFL for a long time, but I think it might
• 4:47:27
  be the end for him despite what we're here.
• 4:47:30
  For John Harbaugh and Bolton more this season, is not gone
• 4:47:34
  their way I think. John Harbaugh, you know he's
• 4:47:37
  saying I'm not worried about my job, I think he should be
• 4:47:39
  worried. They've blown some games, they
• 4:47:42
  have a quarterback who might be never the same Health Wise with
• 4:47:45
  his back. You know.
• 4:47:46
  I'm not sure what the other injuries are.
• 4:47:48
  It looks like he's fighting through a bunch of stuff.
• 4:47:50
  Lamar Jackson. Maybe it's time to move on and
• 4:47:55
  get more offensive minded play coach.
• 4:47:57
  I think they may do that. There's some real good young
• 4:48:00
  Court coordinator candidates out there like a Kubiak.
• 4:48:03
  That's had a breakout season up in Seattle.
• 4:48:06
  I think you're going to see something like that.
• 4:48:08
  And where is John? Harbaugh gonna go.
• 4:48:10
  He's gonna go to the New York football Giants baby.
• 4:48:15
  Let's go. We're gonna get a program
• 4:48:19
  Builder, finally, and get back to the Mountaintop, go Blue
• 4:48:23
  sounds like somebody's doing drugs.
• 4:48:25
  Who's gonna have you send me right?
• 4:48:28
  And then you. All right, so for mine, I'm
• 4:48:31
  gonna go into the World of Wrestling, going to some WWE
• 4:48:33
  because basically within the next month or so I know what I'm
• 4:48:36
  talking about, but we are starting the Road to
• 4:48:39
  WrestleMania. Now, a lot of people back, I
• 4:48:42
  would say, last year, when they came out, a lot of people aren't
• 4:48:44
  you happy about where they looked announced the location
• 4:48:47
  for Wrestlemania this year? It being in Vegas.
• 4:48:49
  Once again, my, my caller shots gonna be.
• 4:48:53
  I think that they're going to outdo themselves.
• 4:48:55
  And what they did last year, last year was a bit of a
• 4:48:57
  pathetic. Mainly because I think Triple H
• 4:49:00
  realized he had a bunch of matches on his car that he could
• 4:49:03
  have just had on a random raw or Smackdown throughout the year,
• 4:49:06
  but I think that he's gonna learn his mistakes.
• 4:49:08
  I know last year wasn't very strong.
• 4:49:10
  Having an in Vegas. So doing it back to back in
• 4:49:13
  Vegas as they were supposed to be reported that it was supposed
• 4:49:15
  to be a New Orleans, but ended up having to switch back to
• 4:49:17
  Vegas. I think Triple H learn is lesson
• 4:49:19
  from booking us some, what mid-card of a WrestleMania
• 4:49:22
  cartilage last year. I think he's an outdo himself
• 4:49:24
  with this year. We just have fresh off the
• 4:49:26
  retirement of John Cena. We're gonna have, Cody Rhodes,
• 4:49:29
  of course, carrying the title into that era, again, once
• 4:49:31
  again. So I think he's gonna do
• 4:49:32
  himself, like I said, come April, we'll see what he does.
• 4:49:35
  All right, my call. Your shot is something in the
• 4:49:39
  NBA. Yeah, and I have been back and
• 4:49:44
  forth with the Western Union Eastern Conference, but One
• 4:49:48
  thing keeps telling me and pushing me to believe that this
• 4:49:51
  is gonna happen and that's the New York Knicks.
• 4:49:54
  I, I sincerely believe That the Knicks are going to the finals
• 4:49:59
  this year. It has nothing to do with them
• 4:50:01
  winning the the cup and all that other garbage nothing to do with
• 4:50:06
  that. I just see a different team,
• 4:50:08
  Mike Brown. And the way he coaches, the way
• 4:50:11
  he uses his bench, the rotation, everything that he is doing to
• 4:50:16
  get these guys ready for the playoffs.
• 4:50:17
  And I don't think Giannis is coming to the next.
• 4:50:20
  Because, I think the next believe that they can win with
• 4:50:22
  the team that they have in the roster that they have, I think
• 4:50:24
  they match up very well against. Okay.
• 4:50:26
  See, the way I've seen them play together over the last couple of
• 4:50:31
  weeks. I know they lost to get 76ers
• 4:50:33
  but I think when they need to play defense and they need to
• 4:50:36
  play half court defense, they could do very, they could do it
• 4:50:38
  very, very well. I think this team has the
• 4:50:41
  capability to go to the finals and maybe even make noise and
• 4:50:44
  went in NBA title my prediction that the Knicks are definitely
• 4:50:49
  not, maybe not 50%, definitely going to the NBA finals this
• 4:50:54
  year, so that is my call your shot.
• 4:50:58
  The Nicks. To the finals this year.
• 4:51:00
  You could book it if you're a betting man, or a woman, I don't
• 4:51:03
  know what the bet is right now, but I'm willing to bet anybody
• 4:51:08
  that the New York Knicks are going to the finals, the Eastern
• 4:51:11
  Conference. It has to go through New York.
• 4:51:14
  It's going to go through New York.
• 4:51:15
  It's not going through, Detroit one way or another, Detroit will
• 4:51:18
  get into that that slippage in the middle of the season after
• 4:51:22
  the All-Star break. And I expect the next to go on a
• 4:51:25
  run where they take over first place, it'll be the next.
• 4:51:28
  And Boston, I think Detroit will be for Cavaliers will be.
• 4:51:32
  I mean, Detroit will be third, Cavaliers will be four and I
• 4:51:37
  think it's going to be one, two, three, four.
• 4:51:39
  And I expect the Nicks to go to the finals this year.
• 4:51:42
  I don't care with Janice without you.
• 4:51:44
  I think this Ross roster is more than good enough to win.
• 4:51:48
  So, that's my prediction, by the way, I have slowly, but surely
• 4:51:54
  expressed my feelings towards knocking off fish.
• 4:51:57
  I've done it ladies. And gentlemen, I've knocked off
• 4:52:00
  fish. I've knocked off Speedy, with
• 4:52:02
  the bees league and I'm moving on to the finals and I have a
• 4:52:06
  chance to win two leaks this week.
• 4:52:09
  This year. Hopefully I can run away with
• 4:52:12
  both of them. I could use it, so hopefully
• 4:52:14
  that happens. I got a plate Derek and I think
• 4:52:17
  Derek's been fantastic. His team is fantastic.
• 4:52:19
  It's going to be a hard-earned win if I'd be Derek.
• 4:52:25
  And the same thing goes to whoever I matched up over there
• 4:52:29
  in the Beasley. So I'd like to survive, too
• 4:52:32
  Harold. The one that I said that I
• 4:52:33
  thought I was gonna lose you on the break.
• 4:52:35
  It all. Didn't get another catch.
• 4:52:36
  I won by one point three points, get into the final, look at you.
• 4:52:39
  So look at you bad, you know. Look, they can look at them.
• 4:52:44
  Good man. Yes, I ran away with both of
• 4:52:48
  them. So hopefully I run away with
• 4:52:50
  both of them. This coming week.
• 4:52:51
  I could use it, like I said and I'm doing well in my basketball
• 4:52:54
  league. I lost my keys, Friends League
• 4:52:58
  because of just Absolute bull crap.
• 4:53:00
  I don't even want to talk about it.
• 4:53:01
  It makes me sick and I gotta Kick the hell out of Louie this
• 4:53:04
  week. I beat him by like 90 points.
• 4:53:05
  I should have won that League too.
• 4:53:08
  I'm very upset about it but whatever.
• 4:53:10
  Anyways, you can't win them all by the way, thank you to all the
• 4:53:14
