- 3:06But let's let me go out there and reach out to the chat room
- 3:08a real quick. Let's see who's gonna be the unofficial co host share?

- 4:09brother. And when Boss gets involved, that Mitch is going to find himself

- 4:15out there listening to the whole thing. So, yeah, there you go,
- 4:19right, Jamie, this one for you. Okay, I will not
- 4:23forget. I'm sure they missed a great deal to be called Garth, that
- 4:28brother to be called Garth, Wayne and Guard. Yeah, the wines are
- 4:31a good opportunity. So Wayne wine see scene he doesn't listen, Well,
- 4:38okay, I get it. So there's always room for one wine scene if
- 4:41he doesn't listen. But we're glad to have double Double's all right, let's
- 4:45get onto the We have a very busy agenda on hand here, so we're
- 4:48gonna start off with Jeremy ballrech story about player education about gambling. All right,
- 4:53Jeremy, give the audience an overview about what you were looking to accomplish
- 4:56in that story. I was trying to open the eyes because I saw that
- 5:00the survey was done, were eighty percent of the players surveyed in the NFL
- 5:05did not know the obscure rule about betting on other sports while not in the
- 5:11team facility, but actually in a hotel or even on the road was still
- 5:16considered an NFL property. And that's the rule that bit Jamison Williams first and
- 5:23foremost. And that being said, the NFL has already came out and apologized
- 5:28and saying they may reduce that initial response to those penalties because there's so many
- 5:34players that did not know. Now nowhere are we saying it just because you
- 5:39didn't know the rule and you broke it, that you shouldn't be punished.
- 5:42But maybe the punishment shouldn't have been so harsh because of the lack of knowledge
- 5:46across the league overall. Okay, and that they needed to do better about
- 5:51making it clear, which they have done this year already. All right,
- 5:56let's go to chat room, going over George I Cornel, make sure that
- 5:58we don't forget anything that's coming in here. And you know you're gonna be
- 6:01heavily looked upon here Jeremy as the king of the chat. All right,
- 6:05well, all right, so Ralph Williams tell you what though, jb Okay,
- 6:12I will not forget. Good to know. Okay, thank you,
- 6:14Scott, no problem. You're making a good friend with him. Okay,
- 6:16Now Wayne throwing his bun, he does a listen, all right, keep
- 6:21going. I have a voice good for an hour. Okay, all right,
- 6:26go ahead. He's older than Wayne's rood. Wasn't even a thought when
- 6:30I was more in lol, Because you know, I love the king.
- 6:35I enjoy the canner in the chat room. This is a part that's fun.
- 6:38All I gotta do is get these things up here. All right,
- 6:40let's say he's older. Okay, let's go on to the next one.
- 6:44All right, all right. The number one rule states do not bet on
- 6:47the NFL, which Jamison Williams did not do. First and foremost, Okay,
- 6:54and finally, Jamison Williams wants to bet you, all right, go
- 6:58ahead and read it on the Lions over under winds. Total. No,
- 7:01he doesn't bet on the NFL. He bet on college sports. He will
- 7:04bet the over under on Alabama though. All right. With that said,
- 7:09the chat room has caught up for about the moment, because that's about what
- 7:12will be. George gets your two cents in on Jeremy topic. Well,
- 7:15this gets crazier and crazier. But thank you Jeremy for the research you did
- 7:19to put that article together. That's wonderful. NFL egg on your face,
- 7:25whatever we want to call it. Let's hope they get back to their senses
- 7:29and make sure that players are educated fairly, honestly, openly and across the
- 7:34board, all the teams from front office down to the water boys and water
- 7:41girls, if you will. But I mean, everybody's got to be on
- 7:43the same page, and I'm just astonished that the league has decided not to,
- 7:49you know, to train their personnel in better form. That being said,
- 7:54I hope the suspensions are reduced. Okay, now yeah, yeah,
- 8:01I don't. I don't really believe what they're saying. I mean, they
- 8:01got they also came out and said that there's some more suspensions coming today for
- 8:07the Indianapolis Coats and some other people. But you know, I think the
- 8:11NFL is trying to you know, cya in this case by saying that they
- 8:16didn't explicitly express to these young men when and when they cannot do certain things.
- 8:24You see, it's as young players they're getting trouble. It's not the
- 8:26older players they're getting in trouble um, And it's something inherent with these young
- 8:31players and you know, wanting to you know, do whatever it is then
- 8:35just do the things that they want to do, regardless of and knowing what
- 8:39they're supposed to do, but they just want to try to see that.
- 8:41You know. It's kind of like your little child. They always want to
- 8:45kind of push that envelope as far as as they can to see exactly how
- 8:48far they can far they can go and see if they can get away with
- 8:50something. So I don't, you know, I don't believe, you know,
- 8:54I take everything with a grain of salt, The NFL says, I
- 8:58really don't believe what they're saying. I know when I was playing, you
- 9:00know, you had meetings and they talked told you exactly what you could and
- 9:03could not do. And those are rules and you and you abided by them
- 9:07period. You know, you didn't get a second or third chance or anything
- 9:09like that. You you knew exactly what the rules were. You couldn't go
- 9:13to Las Vegas, you couldn't go to Atlantic City. Those are the things
- 9:16that you couldn't do. And you understood that because they had meetings, you
- 9:20know, and they have people from the NFL to come in, then they
- 9:22have officials to come in, then they have other folks to come in and
- 9:26tell you to watch out for certain type of characters and different things of that
- 9:28nature. I mean the NFL man, I mean, they're you know,
- 9:31they're they're like a government agency as far as you know, the type of
- 9:35people that they have employed there. They're all X something, whether you know
- 9:39they used to work for some type of government agency or or something. I
- 9:43mean, they are they're very in tune. They're very smart. Uh,
- 9:46they know exactly what they're doing. And to hear them saying that, you
- 9:50know, with Jeremy saying that, they feel that that maybe they didn't explain
- 9:52it explicitly, explicitly enough to the players where they understood what they could and
- 9:58could not do to me, just like they're trying to cover their behinds.
- 10:01Take them Meloy. You brought up a really good point you're talking about.
- 10:05It's the younger players. This is an era where we now are. This
- 10:09is Internet. I brought this up about the Cubs staying like twenty o three
- 10:13when they hit the home run, hit the home run, it was the
- 10:16player blew up because there was no cell phone, no everything. You're just
- 10:20watching the game, you know what I'm saying. And you get to this.
- 10:24The younger players, now this is a younger is an era where there
- 10:28are in the world of TikTok. They're in the world of social media there
- 10:31and all so and the money, even if if it's not one of the
- 10:37money, it's still more than most of them ever seen in their lives.
- 10:39And a lot of them, a lot of players had a lot of better
- 10:43they've seen them before. They have money. So now guess what money Either
- 10:48money either shows your personality or exacerbasis so. And then with this kind of
- 10:54world and everything like that, they're going to get. The younger players are
- 10:56going to get more and more kind of ridiculous in your own way, even
- 11:01if they're told even if there's meetings. Even if I think personally to me,
- 11:05I agree with Melos. I think the NFL is lying in the beginning
- 11:07with And I wanted to ask you this, mel if you don't like asking
- 11:11you, what percentage in your time do you think of the players that had
- 11:16gambled in the NFL. I mean, I'm sure there's probably some, but
- 11:20there's very very few. I mean very very few. Yeah, because you
- 11:26had in order to gamble back then you had to go to Las Vegas or
- 11:28Atlantic City or the Bahamas or something like that. You had to go somewhere,
- 11:31so there wasn't like paper. There wasn't like newspapers with like the betting
- 11:35lines stuff like that, and they wouldn't just like call their bookies or anything.
- 11:37Or because I'm just talking about during that time, Yeah, that's over
- 11:41my head. You know, I was. I was on the back of
- 11:43the roster, so I wasn't trying to do anything incorrect. I wasn't trying
- 11:48to give them a reason to send me home. No, I you know,
- 11:52I have no clue about that. But the guy you know, when
- 11:54I played at the Rams, I mean those guys were professionals. I mean
- 11:56it came in Jackie Slater were coming into the briefcase and slacks and good pair
- 12:01of shoes on it. You know what, guys didn't show up to work
- 12:03and sweatsuits and stuff like they do now. I mean he came to work
- 12:07like he was going to IBM when he came to Yeah, good shoes,
- 12:13you know, nice shoes, slacks, a nice little shirt. I mean
- 12:16he came to work like he was coming to work. He was their nineteen
- 12:20years. So I tells you something, but you brought That's the reason I
- 12:22asked you that question melts because you brought that point up. It was the
- 12:26fact that it's like you didn't demember. It was over your pay grade and
- 12:31over your pay grade, and you're trying to not to do anything and get
- 12:33to get yourself in trouble. You're trying that with the money that's out there
- 12:37right now, even the mid league minimum. There's a lot of them with
- 12:41a lot of guts, and this is the most they've ever seen in their
- 12:43lives. A lot of these players, this is the most many they've seen
- 12:46in their lives. And a lot of them had bad habits before bad.
- 12:50So that's what I was just bringing up. And it's an unfortunately personally to
- 12:52me, I am, I don't understand the whole thing when they are making
- 12:56money off gambling themselves, I don't get the whole issue. They're not they're
- 13:01they're getting that. To me, it's a hypocrisy. So it's like,
- 13:03well, of course, go ahead, you know, without question, I
- 13:07agree with you. Yeah. And it's like, my thing is, if
- 13:11you're not betting against your team, that you play on to me, that
- 13:16you play on to that that you could do something to hurt your team so
- 13:20you can win money that I don't see an issue with what you're doing,
- 13:24say, even if you're like betting on tennis or something like, I don't
- 13:28see any issue with what that is, how that's hurting in the NFL whatsoever.
- 13:31Well, I mean, I think their whole thing is they don't they
- 13:33want your mind when you're on NFL property, whether it's a plane, a
- 13:39bus, the hotel, the facility, that you're focused on your job,
- 13:43that you're not doing anything else other than your job. No different than probably
- 13:46any you know, any place that we would work at. You know,
- 13:48if you're working at IBM, you're working at Walmart, you're working at UH
- 13:54wherever. I mean, they want you to focus on your job. They
- 13:56don't want you focused on you know, your your fantasy football or you know
- 14:01the line on golf or tennis or any other sports. They want you there
- 14:05working and then when you go home, then you can do all that kind
- 14:07of stuff. I think, you know, I think that's what they're what
- 14:11they're saying, that they're trying to impress upon these young men. But again,
- 14:13like I said, I believe, I believe truly, you know,
- 14:16it's they're very clear. You know, the NFL is very thorough in the
- 14:20things that they do. I think they'll see that problem with these young players.
- 14:24For some reason, they didn't get it, they missed the memo,
- 14:28and they're all of a sudden they're having a huge problem with these young players
- 14:33and gambling. Okay, let's move along here to JB. What are your
- 14:35thoughts on this. There's a there's a couple of problems with it. It.
- 14:39First of all, the NFL makes so much money off a gambling that
- 14:43without gambling, what with the without fantasy or without people you know, putting
- 14:48their parlays, their teasers, you know, from their home now with fan
- 14:54dual draft kicks beat MGM, Caesars, you know, bar stool or who
- 14:58might miss saying how many different ways can we gamble them? And how much
- 15:03does that help the NFL? And why in the preseason they do they send
- 15:07these guys to the locker rooms to talk to these teams. It's different than
- 15:11it was in mels Er where you had to go to Vegas, you had
- 15:15to go to Atlantic City to put it a bet, or you had to
- 15:16call a bookie, which you know was illegal anyway, so you knew you
- 15:20were breaking the law. You know, they put guys, They have guys
- 15:24that come out during the preseason to talk to the teams and tell them different
- 15:28things that they should or shouldn't do. This is all in the NFL,
- 15:31you know. I mean, yes, the guys need to know the rules,
- 15:35But the NFL is just as much as fault that people didn't get the
- 15:39memo and don't understand what's happening. You know, it goes both ways.
- 15:41As a player, yeah, you're hurting your income and you know you ruin
- 15:45you to reputation. But if the NFL would make it clear when all that
- 15:50they do and all the money they're making, they're at fault. Okay,
- 15:54all right, let's go to chat room. All right, Jeremy, I
- 15:56got one up. There is it okay for the mission to bet? No,
- 16:00it is not okay for any NFL official and if any NFL coach or
- 16:06player of any fashion to bet on the NFL. This was an argument that
- 16:11I previously made for college teams and how they teach the athletes about betting.
- 16:15There's an argument on how inconsistently these gambling rules have been taught. Details of
- 16:19the what is isn't? At least no games had been missed to date,
- 16:22and they can adjust it absolutely, Travis. That basically my point. And
- 16:30nineteen also says betting on pickleball on espn Ocho there that that's the one they
- 16:36had me lows and a lot of you guys are talking, but the NFL
- 16:40says, hey, guys, no betting, but wow, let's put a
- 16:41team in Vegas. Right, I'll keep it rolling along. I'll have a
- 16:45few laughs there, boy Blue, all right, let's I love the chat
- 16:51room. Sometimes these are really entertaining. We had to keep him rolling,
- 16:53Okay, go ahead, Jeremy. A lot of young players obviously know the
- 16:57players and schemes of teams A just left. It's a competitive advantage. Jamison
- 17:02voting on. Betting on Alabama is sort of like an injured Kelvin Ridley betting
- 17:07on the Falcons. It feels like an easy money bet. Last one and
- 17:11then we'll go to the next topic. Go ahead, j Jablin. Gambling
- 17:15was the only reason the NFL started reporting injuries. It's literally why the public
- 17:19injury report was created. Lol. What do you bet there, Jim The
- 17:26Greek was the one that got started the birthplace, right, No, that's
- 17:30an interesting name, all right? Next topic, okay, longest act the
- 17:33playoff playoff droughts. Which team or teams will snap their street this season.
- 17:38We're gonna go to the Jets twenty ten, eleven, Broncos twenty fifteen sixteen,
- 17:44the Lions sixteen seventeen Falcons, and the Panthers seventeen eighteen Texans twenty nineteen
- 17:51twenty. We're gonna go around quickly, lots of ground to cover, make
- 17:55a pick or two, and then we'll move on. Go ahead, Jeremy.
- 17:57I'm actually gonna give you two, and they're both in the NFC.
- 18:00I think it's the Lions and the Falcons because the NFC South is the dog
- 18:04water of the league. This year, Okay, George, I'll pick the
- 18:10Lions and uh, I'll pick the Jets with Rogers. Now, I said
- 18:17the Jets, the Broncos and the Lions. Jacob, I'll go with them
- 18:22Falcons and um, excuse me, I'm sorry, Falcons Lions. I'm gonna
- 18:26say that they are, I mean, by itself, falcons did You're right,
- 18:30it's dog water, but Falcons are getting better. And I like Arthur
- 18:33Smith and he can build an offense. So I would where they were going.
- 18:37J b Ellis Lions and Jets if the guy who complains about everything stays
- 18:44healthy, and I'll go with the Lions and the Jets as well. Let's
- 18:48get some thoughts from the chat room and see what they think, all right,
- 18:52mister Wayne, Well, I ain't see going through this one. Hope
- 18:56that the Jets. All right, Well, okay, that's sounds because he
- 18:59doesn't like Aaron Lions. Patty Grimes. Patty Grimes, A Graham, blank
- 19:03Michigan native says Lions, and Wayne Weinstein says something that Lions fans have said
- 19:10for years. Rogers needs a coolin oscopy. Leave it to Wayne. Good
- 19:14stuff, all right? All right, Now here's a topic that we wanted
- 19:17to make sure we had a good full crew on the head. Coach is
- 19:19on the hot seat, according to Corey Benjamin the Chargers Brandon Staley, Okay,
- 19:26I'm going to root list down the years and what we have year three
- 19:29is a nineteen and fifteen record in the playoffs. He's one and one.
- 19:33The Browns Kevin Savansky year four record twenty six, twenty four playoffs one and
- 19:38one. Washington Ron Rivera year four record twenty two, twenty seven and one
- 19:44playoffs on one. Raiders Josh McDaniels year two record six and eleven playoffs not
- 19:49afflicable for about that anyways, Cowboys Mike McCarthy year four record thirty and twenty
- 19:56playoffs one and two. Tampa Bay Bucks Bowls here to record eight and nine
- 20:02playoffs, so on one. Saints Dennis Allen here two record seven and ten
- 20:07playoffs not applicable. And finally Falcons Arthur Smith your three record fourteen twenty not
- 20:12affictable. We're gonna go through this one again, okay, and rapid fire.
- 20:18Jeremy Well, it's got to be round Rivera and I'm gonna throw one
- 20:25knot on the list. Brandon Staley of the Chargers's Okay, I didn't hear
- 20:30the Chargers one, but it's yeah, I got that's too that. I
- 20:33think they have the hottest seats in the NFL right now. Okay, George,
- 20:38I'm gonna go with Mike McCarthy and Dallas. I mean, you know,
- 20:44Jones is something else when it comes to naming coaches in that, but
- 20:48they just haven't cut the mustard down there for a long time, and the
- 20:52Chargers will be my second one as far as the hot seat goes. So
- 20:56I'm Chargers and Cowboys. Okay, Now, go with Kevin Excuse me,
- 21:00no, I'm gonna go with Josh McDaniels and Dennis Allen. And Dennis Allen
- 21:10because he was such a disaster with the Raiders. I mean, so if
- 21:14he is unable even though he doesn't really have a quarterback over there, if
- 21:17he's unable to do anything with the Saints is here, I believe because he's
- 21:22had an opportunity before. That's just who he is. He's just not a
- 21:25head coach material. He's probably a good defensive coordinator and Sargo go back to
- 21:29being a coordinator. Josh McDaniels, same thing. You know, He's he
- 21:32had an opportunity as well. Now he's got a quarterback in there, they're
- 21:36making changes, wholesale changes. They got rid of the tight end, which
- 21:38you know they paid him the money. Then they got rid of their tight
- 21:41end. They're all pro tight end. So I have to say those two
- 21:45individuals, because of their previous head coaching experience, are on the hot seat.
- 21:52Jacob with the ever fluce Chicago reasons saying he's a defensive minded coach.
- 22:00I think he's got a defense that's getting built. But he is in He
- 22:04is in the most pinned against the wall position you can get. If if
- 22:10Fields makes any kind of momentum shift this year with passing, but it's not
- 22:15good enough at but Fooss gogles, they're gonna want an offensive google for him.
- 22:18And if ever and if the Fields Fields would bomb out. If he
- 22:22has another year where he can't his passing doesn't go well, every Foos has
- 22:26gone and then Fields could be because number year four I looked at I looked
- 22:30at spot track year four. It would be nothing off their thing. To
- 22:33get nothing off there's whatsoever. So this is where I get the frustration with
- 22:38this whole thing. I didn't want him to play his rookie year, because
- 22:41this should be year two, and it's good a year two and especially with
- 22:47having all those records for a year running and be able to have all that
- 22:49excitement in Chicago should be year two. It sets year three and he's five
- 22:53and twenty. I mean, he's gonna get the rocket a hard place every
- 22:56fruss. I think he's in trouble. Okay, let's continue to chat room.
- 23:00Okay. Yeah, Well, when you guys are playing well, playing
- 23:03the hometown line, what do you expect? You have a lot of lines
- 23:06people on the show. Chad says, Jacob Clinton knows his sports. I
- 23:11love that. Thank you. It's always good man. Thank you. You
- 23:17change your name, Jacob, Thank you very much. I did not have
- 23:21sex with Elvia and fired last year. In my opinion by Will Vogel.
- 23:26You know, you know what, I'm going to back that too. I
- 23:29think Stalely's in trouble. I really do. And you know what, I
- 23:33believe that Dennis Allen could be in trouble. I'm not so sure about McCarthy.
- 23:37All I think about Staley real fast. They just brought in that new
- 23:40offensive coordinator that I can go coach and hurry and you know what. That
- 23:45leads me to my next point, Jacob. Okay, and that's Travis Holmes
- 23:48will save Brandon Staley's job, will continue to supition of catching those on Warren
- 23:52and checks, and you know what we'll see about Kellen Moore onwards we go,
- 23:56all right, j b ls, you want to mention Stane it's the
- 24:03fans key. Oh, the Vegas is gone and McCarthy's not having any more
- 24:10sleepovers, No more smores, no more hot Poco, no more bready Jerry
- 24:15Joe's hair in the middle of the night. It's done. Goodbye. All
- 24:18four of them will be gone. All right. Since we have confidential coming
- 24:23on, I definitely have to make sure this topic gets brought up after all.
- 24:27You know, we have another thirty minutes or twenty five until we get
- 24:30there, but we'll make sure we fit it in. Okay, First of
- 24:33all, Cubs Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts talks about deadline strategy. Obviously we're
- 24:40buyers, all right. I know we addressed it last night or a couple
- 24:42of people. We have a few that we didn't, So all right,
- 24:45Jeremy, reiterate your position if it hasn't already changed. I missed the question,
- 24:51sure, because I could barely hear it. I don't know what all
- 24:53right, let me repeat it, Okay, Jeremy Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts
- 24:59talks about deadlin strategy. Obviously, were fires agree or disagree? I'm going
- 25:03to disagree because they're a middling team playing in a good division. Yes,
- 25:07they're competitive, but they unless they move up to second place by the trade
- 25:11deadline, they're not making a move. All right. Let me go ahead
- 25:15and answered Chad's question, how is mcvain not a potential hot scene candidate.
- 25:18I'll tell you why, Chad. He's going to retire before he gets fired.
- 25:22That's what I think. All Right, onward we go, George,
- 25:25let's talk about the Cubs Rickets. Yeah, as I stated on a hundred
- 25:27and eight stitches, I believe. I believe Rickets only because this is a
- 25:33tight race that they're involved in with the Cincinnati Reds and the Milwaukee Brewers,
- 25:38and the Cubs are kind of, you know, hanging around, hanging in
- 25:41there. Granted they don't have a lot of talent, but they still are
- 25:45hanging in there tough. So it would be ridiculous for an owner to come
- 25:48out and say the opposite right now and say that they're going to be sellers
- 25:52because they're still in the thick up at the Cubs and it's a passionate base
- 25:56of fans, the Wrigley Bill fans want to hear good news, not bad
- 26:00stuff. Okay, now, yeah, I'm with George on that. Yeah,
- 26:07I don't follow baseball a whole lot other than you know, some of
- 26:10the young players. Uh, you know, they got that sensation up there
- 26:14in Cincinnati. You know, you love with what's going on out there in
- 26:18Los Angeles with the Angels with their pictures slash hitter and of course we don't
- 26:25follow the Braves here a little bit. But as far as all that kind
- 26:26of maneuvering that they do, you know, with the trades buyers sellers,
- 26:33I don't follow a whole lot. You know, it's interesting to see what
- 26:37teams did load up. What's interesting to see what teams, you know,
- 26:41inside to bail on the season and then you know, basically just pack it
- 26:44up and try to do it again next year. But other than that,
- 26:47I don't have really much of an opinion on there, other than you know,
- 26:48I kind of agree with what George said. Okay, that's fair enough.
- 26:52Okay, we have two cove eaes here. Back to back should start
- 26:55off with Jacob Confidential. We Rouge will be on after this show. One
- 27:00of the things that we talk about all the time is the Rousseloss David Ross.
- 27:04We talked about him and quite a bit and the Cubs. One thing
- 27:07that a lot of us seem to agree with is they're a manager away from
- 27:11greatness. They because they've got a really nice little roster and they've gotten building
- 27:15up. They just don't have a really good manager. And yeah, do
- 27:18I think they're buyers? Absolutely? They are to do, because I think
- 27:22they want the team when they get rid of Ross and they don't get Themselve
- 27:25the manager, they will want a team to be able to build on,
- 27:29to go get the right guy. And it's like, and how do you
- 27:32get the right guy if you got a bunch of minor leaguers? All right?
- 27:34So you saying Jacob and Layman's terms are bus Oh they're buyers? Oh
- 27:40yeah, good enough for me, all right. J b Ellis They're they're
- 27:44really close to the division. The issue that they have right now is their
- 27:48managers horrible. They'd be at first place if they had a decent manager,
- 27:53and they have one of the best farm systems in the minor league. So
- 27:56you gotta be careful because they have a chance to be good for years,
- 28:00not just make the playoffs this year, Wherey're not going to win the World
- 28:03Series. So yeah, I'd like to see them buy, but I'd rather
- 28:07wait another year or two when they'll be dominant. Okay, let's go to
- 28:11a couple of chat comments. Okay, we'll go to Will Vogel all right,
- 28:17they need to be buyers to chase the red hot reds. Okay,
- 28:19and then we'll go to another one evening from King Sja. Thank you very
- 28:25much, King, We appreciate you being back again. All right, let's
- 28:27move on. All right, you know we're gonna go to Jacob's story.
- 28:30I like this one. It was really good, so I think it's good
- 28:33enough to bring it on here. Where is Dusty bank Eller? Where are
- 28:37you? So with that said, we're gonna go around the horn and old
- 28:40Jacob. We'll go in regular order, all right, where is that?
- 28:41Well? You know what, No, we won't. We're gonna go with
- 28:44Jacob, give me the reason why you wrote this story and fill people in
- 28:47and haven't seen it well. I did an article, I wrote an art
- 28:52it's on for the Tribute South and it's also one Inscriber magazine. The idea
- 28:56is, where is Dusty Baker's second ring. The reason I said that is
- 29:03because Dusty Baker came in a twenty or three for the Cubs, and ever
- 29:07since before then they only had like eight different players that came in and their
- 29:15prime, Like they had a couple of the older names. They had Bill
- 29:19Buckner, they had Rick Sutcliff, they had let's say, they had Rick
- 29:25Sutcliffe, they got Andre Dawson on his and not even Here's these are when
- 29:29they're on their prime and at their power. Sammy Soilson wasn't even at his
- 29:32power when they got him. So this is what I'm talking about. Dusty
- 29:36Baker's when he brought him in, they immediately got Kenny Lofton, they immediately
- 29:41got Eric Carrolls, they immediately got everybody and ever since that point the Cubs
- 29:45and even now, even if it's a very long time, that won't happen.
- 29:49The science Zuki had them taught was trying to talk to Shohea Tony to
- 29:52go to the Cubs. That would not have happened. That's like the equivalent
- 29:56of Barry Bonds going to the Cubs in his prime. That wouldn't have happened.
- 30:00So the reason I said this is where is Dusty Baker's second ring?
- 30:04It's because that ring does not happen in sixteen without Dusty showing up first.
- 30:11Not only they need a ring, they need they need a statute outside of
- 30:14Ringley. And that's why I was bringing that up, because his presence,
- 30:18even if it ended not so well, his presence everything on the Cubs changed
- 30:22and made he showed up. It's good. I like that, all right,
- 30:26j B. Go ahead, you know, I get what you're saying.
- 30:30But you know, Buck show Walter was there with the Yankees before they
- 30:33went off in the nineties and early two thousands. I don't think that,
- 30:37you know, it was Buck's reason they won, So I'm not going to
- 30:41buy that. You know, Dusty's a really great manager, but he didn't
- 30:45went with the Cubs, so he doesn't get a ring. That's it.
- 30:48No, I get that great manager, George. There's a lot of managers
- 30:57at one one champion chep and uh. I'll tell you what you know,
- 31:03Dusty has got the respect of myself and a lot of people in baseball.
- 31:07He's done a terrific job. I mean, yeah, you know he should
- 31:11have more rings. You have three rings, four rings. I mean I
- 31:15list him as far as modern era, I list him as one of the
- 31:18top managers that I've seen. And you know, I agree with JB.
- 31:22I mean, you know, I'm not going to jump on it because I
- 31:25think that the Dusty is a fine guy and he's great to get along with.
- 31:30He knows he earns the respect of all the players. And that's what
- 31:33I got to say about about you, Jeremy, great players manager. He's
- 31:41had his success. He wasn't there when they won it. I don't think
- 31:45he'll get his second ring. No, you're right, You're right. I
- 31:48just I just wanted to say to everybody this is it's more of a there's
- 31:52probably more of a decisions this thing. When I said up, but I
- 31:53was trying to bring it into the I understand exactly what you're saying. I'm
- 31:57just saying going forward, because by the time he builds a team to where
- 32:01it's ready, the other the people that run the team will get tired of
- 32:07him again because he's building a team up to where it's good, and then
- 32:10by the time it's good, he always gets ran off. Yeah, you
- 32:14know what, I'm gonna elaborate on that point in a moment, but I'll
- 32:16let him talk about it. I've got one that really stands out, mel
- 32:22Jeremy. I mean, you know, Dusty has been at this thing for
- 32:23a long time, and I was glad to see him win it finally last
- 32:25year. I mean back from when he was in San Francisco and had Barry
- 32:30Bonds and they were knocking on the door. I mean, everywhere he's gone,
- 32:32he's had the team in the mix. You know, he's taken the
- 32:36team to the World Series, everywhere that he's gone, and I was finally
- 32:38glad to see him finally get one last year because he deserved it, you
- 32:44know. To me, you know, I don't know him as far as
- 32:46a coach. You know, I got a buddy that I went to College
- 32:51Wood that is and is related to Dusty somehow another. And you know,
- 32:55everything I've seen from him on television, man is he's a class guy,
- 32:59class sack. The reason why they hired him for this particular job that he
- 33:02has right now is because all the turmoil that they're dealing with from the sign
- 33:07sign stealing, you know, thing that went on that. You know,
- 33:12they needed a clean cut guy to come in there with the with the right
- 33:15image to try to erase that that that bad history that they had. And
- 33:21you know, Dusty went into a difficult situation. I may but believe he
- 33:23came out of retirement into a difficult situation and you know, ended up taking
- 33:29that team and winning, winning at all. So I have nothing but admiration
- 33:34for him, nothing but true respect for him and all the things that he's
- 33:37done in the game of baseball as a manager. Yeah, all I'll say
- 33:40about the subject. There's two things. One, I'm glad he got his
- 33:44ring with us, especially under adverse circumstances. But the guy that should have
- 33:47deserved a ring for the Arizona Diamondbacks since thousand and one Sarah should have been
- 33:52Buck Showalter, not Bob Runway. That's what I think he built. I
- 33:55say, we go on, let me finish, let me please, let
- 33:59me finish. That's all right. Bob Brandley inherited Buckshaw Walters team. They
- 34:05built from the ground up. Buckshaw Walters should have gotten a ring. Bob
- 34:07Brentley hasn't gotten a job. Since that's all I have to say, go
- 34:10ahead, Jacob, then real quickly the reason was, I've been a fan
- 34:14since eighty four. I've seen some of the worst horrible, ridiculous Cubs teams
- 34:20you could ever get in your life. They start ohing fourteen and ninety seven,
- 34:22I've seen it all, and they and it's like some of the players
- 34:25that the Cubs have a chance of getting now in these eras, like the
- 34:30Cubs and oh four even they didn't win anything, mel Mark Garciapara and Great
- 34:35Maddox in the same boat, and it's like, that doesn't happen in any
- 34:39eras. And then when Dusty was gone, it's Lupinella another legend. And
- 34:44that's what I'm saying. It's like, it's the presence of the idea that
- 34:46the expectations of the Cubs changed, is what I'm bringing up. It's the
- 34:52changed expectations. It's like the lobble losers is no more. Now we've got
- 34:55a World Series and I do thank him for that, because we get time
- 35:00after time after time we're in the mix for names which I never saw,
- 35:04never saw in those early years. Okay, Jeremy, go back to the
- 35:07chat room. Ched the Teama says, if the Vikings make the playoffs again,
- 35:13Brian Flores will be a top head coaching candidate along with Ben Johnson named
- 35:16Aaron Glenn. I like that comment. All right, look so here,
- 35:21let's go to Will Vogel. All Right, I agree he deserves a ring
- 35:24for twenty sixteen. Okay, fair enough, he's entitled his opinion, and
- 35:30Chedda Teama says, Kurt Gibson's fingerprints were all over that Arizona team, and
- 35:35he's absolutely correct he was a part of that office. Good stuff there,
- 35:38Chad, appreciate chapal. You always come up with some timely once. All
- 35:42right, onto the next topic. This is something I really saw today that
- 35:45I was really really really happy about. Hockey news. Tennessee State University becomes
- 35:50the first HBCU to offer a men's ice hockey program. I'm sure the nationale
- 35:54predators are ecstatic about this one. All right, go ahead, Jeremy,
- 36:00kudos to them. I mean, let's look at it like it is.
- 36:05Historically, hockey has not been the best sport for that ethnic group, and
- 36:13it's great to see them do something to promote it and make it better and
- 36:17give them better opportunities to be able to play the sport, because that's the
- 36:21only way they're going to be able to go pro. Yeah, like I
- 36:23said, I was ecstatic to see this news and that's why I had to
- 36:27and serve it in our lineup tonight. George, Yeah, I saw that
- 36:30too, and that's a great opportunity and I'm happy that they're doing it as
- 36:36well. I think in all of Tennessee. They're they're holding the draft tonight
- 36:40in Nashville. The NHL Awards ceremony was the other night in Nashville. And
- 36:45I'm very happy that this school has decided to take up hockey. I only
- 36:50pray that they get a lot of kids that want to play. That'll be
- 36:53the determining factor. O came Mel Yeah, I mean, I think it's
- 36:58great. You know, if you want to diversify the sport, you want
- 37:01to try to introduce the sport to a different demographic, you have to offer
- 37:07something like that in the HBCU, and that's something that's obviously you know,
- 37:12you know, generally, you know, as brothers, we don't particularly care
- 37:15for the cold too much. Um so ice skating outside it's not something that
- 37:20we generally do. Now, I did because I you know where I grew
- 37:23up, and you know what what everybody did in the wintertime. You know
- 37:27that's what you did. You went, you played ice. They stick me
- 37:30in the goal. Um, I wasn't all that great at skating because skate
- 37:32backwards and all the other kind of stuff. That's just stuck me in the
- 37:35goal. And I was just a goalie freezing my behind off in the goal
- 37:38on the lake. And uh, but you know that's what you do up
- 37:42north in the wintertime. You got if you if you're gonna live in the
- 37:45north, you better figure out the way to make winters enjoyable. So that's
- 37:49either snow billing, playing ice hockey, or learning how to ski. And
- 37:54uh, you know I played hockey, played ice hockey, and I learned
- 37:58how to ski. But you know, I think that's good. You know,
- 38:00I think that you know, maybe UCLA you'll get ice hockey team too
- 38:04when they joined the Big Big ten. So we'll see. Thank you,
- 38:07chat, I appreciate you subscribing. God Blast, Sorry, I'm only gonna
- 38:09do two more topics after this. I want to leave one over that way
- 38:14we confidentially gets started on time. I go ahead, Jacob, Let's talk
- 38:19about hockey and Tennessee. Now, I couldn't step backwards either. But I
- 38:22had such long arm for being tall that they just like, oh I do
- 38:25just skipe by him and just whacked the buck. I played three years.
- 38:30That was. I wasn't the best of them, to trust me, I'll
- 38:31probably the worst on every tie. That's just the what that was. But
- 38:37but here's the thing I could not be proud of. I could not be
- 38:39prouder of this. And there's a reason why every time I talk about like,
- 38:45I keep hearing this about there, they'll be in the inner cities.
- 38:47They're trying to get a baseball camp over there in some of the inner city
- 38:52areas once in a while, goes through. Most of the time, it
- 38:54doesn't you get these type of deals. Guess what if they's trying to get
- 39:00more quote unquote diversified, how about quit shaming what is there right now?
- 39:06Just go get it, Go get this. This is what Tennessee State's doing.
- 39:10They're bringing it out there, and yeah, we are going to see
- 39:14more of the black players out of this whole thing, and there's would be
- 39:15more teams to do it. That's all you have to do is go do
- 39:20and find a way to get it, because this is an error where we
- 39:23can go get things. But then I mean where the thing is we're in
- 39:28there. We're in the media shaming world of everything instead of doing Tennessee State's
- 39:32doing. And I want to see others in different sports do just do and
- 39:37let's go get it right there. And that's what I'm saying. I'm proud
- 39:39of Tennessee States. Okay, Jeremy read the chat. JB gets the last
- 39:45word. One. Great to see an HBCU get a hockey program and hope
- 39:49it leads to more in the next few years and years to come. Our
- 39:52mother nature is acting up a little bit, so I'll make sure we move
- 39:54this thing along right, Okay, go ahead. Southern hockey teams are good
- 40:00with Northern players. Okay, we'll leave it at that. JB, you
- 40:02get the last word on this one. Like I said, I'm extended that
- 40:05they're making the move with glad. JB. Well, listen, this is
- 40:08great for hockey. Hockey never gets spoken about. You know that it's one
- 40:14of the big four sports. Nobody talks about it. It's great to see
- 40:17it being diversified. You know, it's the first HBCU to have a team,
- 40:22you know, and I don't see why that that. You know,
- 40:24the fact that we still talk that way in twenty twenty three itself is pretty
- 40:29said. There's no reason for that, and you know, more power to
- 40:31them. But I hope it does well. I hope they feel the competitive
- 40:36team, you know, and if anybody that wants to play should play,
- 40:40it should. Grace shouldn't make a difference. You know, they're good African
- 40:45Americans in the NHL. You know, that's great. You know, I'm
- 40:50glad to see things like that. No reason, not too all right,
- 40:52We're going to take a page of our basketbros. So we talked about Sunday.
- 40:57I want to reiterate it to this group. Bill Chamberlain's rookie uniform sells
- 41:00for at the auction for a record one point seven nine million dollars. All
- 41:06right, JB, We're gonna go in reverse order this time. What do
- 41:07you think about Wilt in that jersey? That's crazy anyone would spend that kind
- 41:13of money on a jersey. More power to him. They got money to
- 41:15bird. Sideline Sports is accepting sponsorships. You know, go to JB underscore
- 41:22the program on Twitter, dm me I'll gladly take a billion. If you
- 41:24got that extra, you could, you know, get your name about our
- 41:28program all week LOLd had a boy. I love promoting a brand. So
- 41:31maybe what will give you a little bit of things called dugh I'm not talking
- 41:36about. We all know what domains, all right, go ahead, Jacob,
- 41:40Well that was I brought up on the show on Sunday. I said
- 41:45one point seven nine million. It probably should be more. But he's been
- 41:47gone since nineteen ninety nine, right, And there's a set of people in
- 41:52this world don't even know exist. You know, he existed more, they
- 41:54know the name, but he's been he's been gone for so long. So
- 41:59do you still have been more? But one point seven nine if someone spend
- 42:01now past twenty years, than that past twenty years still a pretty nice little
- 42:06chunk. Now, that's ridiculous. I mean, there's a lot better things
- 42:10you can do with with your money than spending it on a used jersey.
- 42:15Uh. You know, I understand that some people are nostalgic, and you
- 42:19know, they like to collect things, but that's just ridiculous. Some of
- 42:22the money that some of these items are fetch you. I mean, I
- 42:24don't know, I mean, I mean, who are these guys. I
- 42:27mean they live, they live in the mother's basements. I mean, what
- 42:30what do they do? I mean, I don't don't understand went around with
- 42:36those uh those big antennas on their cars. I mean, just there's so
- 42:40many problems in this world. There's so many people going hungry. Uh,
- 42:45there's so many people that are homeless. There's so many other things that you
- 42:49could do with that money that you know, we have way more halves.
- 42:53The halves have so much, and the have nots have so little, and
- 42:59they continue the flaunt what they have in the face of they have knots.
- 43:04And you know, at some points, at some point in time, it's
- 43:06gonna be a problem. You know, the have knots are gonna have enough
- 43:08of it, and at some point in time it's gonna be a problem because
- 43:12they're gonna get they're gonna be get tired of being in this rat race.
- 43:15Man. And you know, people going around, you know, whenever,
- 43:19people are just trying to figure out how to put food on their table on
- 43:21a day to day basis. You know, every day you talk about you
- 43:23know, you hear about the free lunches being given out during the summertime.
- 43:27Just make sure that the kids have proper nutrition during the summertime, because you
- 43:31know, I would see schools out and see something like this here. I
- 43:35mean, you know, how much good could you do with that kind of
- 43:37money? Okay, George, I know now it's true that some people call
- 43:44it wasteful, but there are a lot of collectors out there. They really,
- 43:47really, I thought, put a fair price on this. And I
- 43:51agree with Jacob. I mean, he's been gone such a long long time,
- 43:53and the younger generation doesn't remember anything about here. I'm or Bill Russell,
- 43:59probably Jerry West, great names from the past, but I think that
- 44:04again it to me. To me, I would never do it. I'm
- 44:07never part of that. But somebody out there wants to do it, all
- 44:09the more power. But to them, if that's the kind of way they
- 44:12want to spend their money, it's not just my way. I wouldn't do
- 44:15it. All I can say is, whoever ended up getting this jersey,
- 44:17you better have as good of a man cave as Jerome Jerenovitch did, George,
- 44:22because we had him on that was one of the best man caves I've
- 44:24ever seen in my Oh yeah, that was really good. All right,
- 44:29Jeremy, you have the final word on this, but you have a directive
- 44:31here. We go ahead, read the chats, okay, Chad our man.
- 44:36Chad here says, even Las Vegas is talking about it. Good stuff,
- 44:38All right, let's continue with the chat room. Not surprised. One
- 44:43of the greatest players of all time and did score one hundred points most in
- 44:45a game ever. Um. Yeah, and the only guy that even got
- 44:50close to that was Kobe Right right, good stuff. Well, you're on
- 44:53a roll again, Okay, says I know a lot about those three George
- 45:00and Yep, yep, you're the exception to the rule, Will because you're
- 45:05in You may be young, but you're an old soul when it comes to
- 45:07basketball. Yeah. You know what. For me, let me tell you
- 45:10Wolf Voltels is a heck of a job researching and his comments. I've never
- 45:15thought i'd see a guy have a role the way he does. But this
- 45:19guy, either way, he's established himself in the chat room is what it
- 45:22is. All right. Jeremy had the last word on Chamberlain. Everybody else
- 45:27got their shot on the subject. Right, Jeremy's the last one, is
- 45:29that correct? Yep? All right, go ahead, Jeremy that being said,
- 45:32I am a sports collector, but you know what, I'm not stupid
- 45:37enough to pay full price for anything, So I get in what they call
- 45:39as a break or a raffle to get what I get. So in order
- 45:44for me to get in one that would have to be let's see one hundred
- 45:46and seventy thousand people lined up at ten dollars? How much with that?
- 45:52Billy Sims one by behind you, by the way, was a guy?
- 45:55Okay, all right, we gotta put Old Patty on there. Good stuff.
- 46:00I would spend jeremy money to do it. I don't know what to
- 46:06say about this, but all I'll say is they're moving on to the next
- 46:07sub that at any compliment headed towards you well as rife larn and I'll just
- 46:13leave it at that. Okay, Well, the last topic before we get
- 46:15our pals over to confidential is Zion Williamson a bus? If he is,
- 46:21where is he going to get traded? All right? You know what,
- 46:23Jamie, go ahead, that's a great question. I don't know if he
- 46:29can call him a bus yet because he's still going to attempt to play.
- 46:34Was it a bad choice by New Orleans? Well, I mean the two
- 46:37guys in that draft were John and him, and they both have major problems
- 46:39right now. Job has been better on the court because he's been on the
- 46:43court. Zion really hasn't. So I mean, either way, you know
- 46:50that draft was just a bad draft at the moment, it's going to play
- 46:52out over the next few years. Too early to call him a bus Jacob.
- 46:57Well, that's true. It's like the main thing with Zion on is
- 47:00the minute he blew his ankle outside of his street and of the shoe,
- 47:04blew everything out, then he's over. And the thing is he always had
- 47:07issues with its weight. He's always an issue his discipline. He gets very
- 47:10I mean, see, the thing about him is his discipline. Well,
- 47:15let's see, I'm not seven foot tall, I ain't seven foot and yeah,
- 47:19and I'm not a hippie. But the but no, his issue is
- 47:22the fact that you'll see him in every off season and he looks like a
- 47:27Greek god. He does, and then he get then he gets a couple
- 47:30of pieces in him and he blows up again, and then he gets more
- 47:34pieces than anyone's ankles hurt, and then it's the issue he doesn't His issue
- 47:38is he played sixty he's been sixty four percent his game to his career,
- 47:43and then you get all this and then when he's out, he eats more.
- 47:46He doesn't have discipline to be able to keep the thing going. I
- 47:50don't see his career and where would he go? Now? Who wants to
- 47:55Maybe a bad team that wants a name, But who else is gonna take
- 48:00something? Is that mean the guy who's sixty four percent of his games in
- 48:04his career? The only ones that could really take him are the ones that
- 48:07won to name and hope he goes Orlando something or the other. I don't
- 48:13know, because anybody that's a contender, who's going to want to put up
- 48:15with that? Especially when he's your most of your contract? All Yeah,
- 48:22The only thing I'm gonna say is Wills on target again. Shian is a
- 48:24bust. He's only played thirty something percent of the games during his career.
- 48:28Needs so it's weight And I I'll interject this as we wind down here.
- 48:32I do believe he's a bust and he doesn't need to lose to weight.
- 48:35So well, I'm with you all the way, mouth go ahead. I
- 48:37wouldn't say it's a bust. I'd say it's too early to tell I think
- 48:40the problem, you know, the biggest problem with Zion is he can't stay
- 48:43healthy. That's that's his biggest problem. He can't stay healthy when he's on
- 48:45the floor. You know, we've seen what he's done. He's put up
- 48:47you know, all all all Star numbers, all NBA numbers, and the
- 48:52other you know. The other problem is may paying these guys too soon,
- 48:54too fast. You know, you're trying and you're seeing these these characteristics of
- 48:59these guys is that you know, all they're trying to all they want to
- 49:01do is get the money. Now, maybe if you put some adult entertainers
- 49:04out there would him, Maybe he'll get out there on the floor a little
- 49:06bit more Miami's profits. You get a couple of old gals out there with
- 49:12him as his teammates, maybe he'll play a little bit more, all right,
- 49:16George, Well, Zion turns twenty three on July July sixth, rather
- 49:22and yeah, to me, he has just not cut it. And you're
- 49:25right now, he's had so many injuries, big body, six six two
- 49:30eighty four. Rumor out there now is maybe the Raptors would like to make
- 49:34a trade to get him. I don't know if that's a good fit either.
- 49:36But yeah, he I don't want to call him a bus but boyle
- 49:39boys, as days and seasons go on, he certainly hasn't performed up to
- 49:45the capabilities that at least I thought and most basketball fans thought he would do
- 49:49with the New Orleans Pelicans. All right, Jeremy, I'm giving you the
- 49:52opportunity for these three. Before you get your word, Patty Grimes, please
- 49:58know Zion to the Pistons, it's Blake griff and all over again. All
- 50:01right, let's go. Might still be early, but the signs are there
- 50:06of him being a bus and the last one I could see Charlotte being a
- 50:12team taking Zion will love that idea. I'm sure I did not want to
- 50:17see number take on it on here in Toronto. Okay, that being said,
- 50:28yes, he's only played thirty three percent of his games. Yes he's
- 50:30missed sixty six due to being overweighting it causing issues with his legs. But
- 50:36the problem with that, you can't call a guy that averages twenty seven points
- 50:38a game, ten rebounds in three blocks a bust. Okay, all right,
- 50:43Mel too flicking, I gotta get it. Mel. I wanted to
- 50:45say this to you with it? How did we know they get paid too
- 50:50fast? Too quick? But how do you what do you expect the players
- 50:52to do when you give when you give mel Tucker, when you give mel
- 50:57Tucker and after one year and like the eight year contract over in Michigan State,
- 51:01and he's gonna bomb out of that and they're gonna have to pay him
- 51:04early at ninety five million dollars. You're doing that to a coach. The
- 51:07players going to expect it? All right. I don't have a problem anybody
- 51:10getting their money, right, all right? Jacob Cliff notes version, how
- 51:15can people get a hold of you? Sunday nights Basket Bros. Monday nights
