I got scoops laughing over here. Ladies and gentlemen, he's not
2:05
laughing, or maybe he's smirking, I don't know.
2:08
He's been on our show before. I got a chance to meet him two
2:11
years ago at the Heisman Trophy. I guess the Eisman Trophy dinner
2:17
and the opportunity to see the Gremlin win his Heisman, which
2:21
Aston gently should have won. That's just my opinion.
2:24
Ladies and gentlemen, we are now talking to USA TODAY college
2:27
football writer Scooby Axon. Scooby, what's up?
2:31
Gentlemen and gentlemen, how you doing today?
2:34
First of all, before we get into college football, because we've
2:37
been speaking a lot on the show about college football.
2:40
How are you feeling, man? I know you had a little bit of
2:42
surgery and. Yeah, I'm, I'm all right.
2:45
You know, now the, the pain in my behind is picking up after my
2:52
kid Christmas presents, $1000 of toys that he don't play with.
2:58
I'm just like, dude, it's, it's, it's ridiculous.
3:02
It's, you know, spending the Christmas Eve putting his stuff
3:07
together, putting batteries in his RC toys and just like, it's
3:12
it's ridiculous. You know, I'm just like, spend
3:16
an hour cleaning up all this crap.
3:17
He has like 100 Hot Wheels cars on just like that, man.
3:22
Yeah, it's it's ridiculous. Well, I will say this, Jabba's
3:25
the only one that has a kid and his kids like he's a teenager.
3:29
The kid is actually he's Jabba said would probably tell you
3:33
he's almost 20 years old. So he's not even a teenager
3:35
anymore. He's almost a grown man.
3:37
So it. Gets better than they just want
3:40
clothes and those are easy to wrap.
3:42
Well, I, I got like, he opened up the box of clothes that I've
3:45
got him, like I got him like a Nike sweater, some Ralph Lauren
3:50
polo stuff. He's like, get this mess out of
3:53
my face. Like, like he's not even three
3:57
years old. He's, he just tossed this to his
3:59
side. Just like, no, I'm not having
4:00
this. I'm like, OK, then go to daycare
4:03
naked. I don't care.
4:07
Yeah, yeah. I don't understand it, but yeah,
4:10
supposedly it gets better. The the kid is in a 90
4:14
percentile of height, which I don't understand.
4:17
I'm only 5-10, wife is 5/4, so I don't understand that.
4:22
But yeah, but I'll tell. You it gets more expensive.
4:27
Oh, I'm yeah. Oh, I know.
4:30
And it's New York City daycare. Oh, it's, oh, it's, oh, it's
4:34
ridiculous. Yeah.
4:35
You better be asking for your raise over there.
4:38
I'm trying. I'm trying, man.
4:41
Yeah. So I, I just had a before we
4:44
start talking the College Football Playoff, the the beef
4:50
I've had all year with the with the AP writers and the polls and
4:55
everything that they're about now.
4:58
I went to University of Oklahoma.
5:00
Fine, but how can you? That's not fine, but.
5:04
It it's not fine because it you know, it's but how can you win
5:10
an award top kicker in the in the nation and be second team
5:16
all American? How?
5:18
How does that happen? That's a good question.
5:21
I I don't, I, I don't again, the kid from Hawaii, great story,
5:26
blah, blah, blah. But you know, Tate Sandel, Mr.
5:31
Short Shorts had an amazing season.
5:34
Anybody could see that. Mister Stevie Wonder could see
5:36
that. So I I don't under I again, I
5:40
just don't understand it. But this, this is not precedent.
5:44
Like you remember when Eric Crouch won the Heisman?
5:46
Oh yeah. Do you know who the first team
5:51
All American quarterback was that year?
5:52
Speedy would probably know. I don't know, I.
5:54
Don't. Offhand, no.
5:56
It wasn't Eric Crouch. It was Rex Grossman.
6:00
Oh wow, no, I wouldn't have thought of that.
6:02
Sexy Rex. He finished, yeah, he finished
6:04
second in Heisman, by the way. So Eric Crouch made the team as
6:08
a all-purpose player, if you can believe that.
6:11
Super Bowl quarterback Rex Grossman.
6:14
Excuse me, we actually just had, we just had that conversation
6:17
because we just did a, a Nebraska Great Foundation event.
6:22
And so I, I wanted to get people going on it because it just came
6:27
up. Somebody was like who shouldn't
6:29
have won the Heisman, whatever. And, and there was one show, I
6:31
can't remember what it was. They're like, oh, he shouldn't
6:34
have won it. And then he came up and I was
6:37
like, what you, you were second team that year, weren't you?
6:41
And he was like, yeah. And then he looked at he was
6:44
like, and then it came up as I posted a picture because I just
6:48
like I, I took the picture with and I've known Eric for a while
6:51
and. Yeah, good dude, good dude,
6:54
Yeah. Oh.
6:54
He's awesome. And I just pointed to it and
6:57
people went crazy and I'm just like, well, this thing's really
7:01
heavy and he has it in his house, so.
7:03
Yeah, no, yeah, 45 lbs. You know, try to get that thing
7:06
through TSA. Good luck.
7:11
I did find out he has it insured though too and it has its own
7:15
carrying case. Yeah, yeah.
7:17
Yep. That that's good again dealing
7:20
with TSA out of LaGuardia or New York or JFK wherever they fly
7:24
out of good luck. No, you know you might, you
7:29
might get cavity search before you get that thing through
7:33
security. Now I missed you at the Heisman
7:35
Trophy dinner. I was there.
7:38
Oh, I didn't even see you, so maybe I we didn't come up.
7:40
I was. There.
7:42
I didn't see you. You're at stealth mode.
7:44
This year I was on stealth mode. I guess I was in a whole another
7:46
world. But Jeremiah Love was there and
7:50
I didn't want to ask him when I was asking my questions.
7:54
I really wanted to ask him about Notre Dame and his his feelings
7:58
towards them falling short because of the Yeah, the the
8:03
committee and just the garbage and the excuses they made after
8:07
they decided not to choose Notre Dame to move forward into this
8:11
tournament. Were you surprised that Jeremiah
8:15
didn't bring up at any point when people were interviewing
8:21
him the thoughts and his feelings towards what the
8:24
committee did to him? No, I wasn't surprised because
8:27
it seemed like every every answer to whatever question he
8:31
was asked was kind of politically correct.
8:35
You know, he just gave the straight man answer, didn't want
8:38
to ruffle any feathers, told the company line however you want to
8:42
say it. So I'm not surprised he didn't
8:44
go scorched earth because I would have came off the top rope
8:48
if it was me. Like, like, like with with the
8:52
elbow, with the leg drop. That that's, that's just me.
8:55
But you know, he, he's a, he's a nice guy.
8:58
So I, I didn't expect him to, you know, just, you know, go ham
9:02
on everybody. Yeah.
9:04
You being in the media and like the one thing that like I've
9:08
always like now my son being in college and I'll have to do
9:11
interviews. Do you guys respect that of the
9:15
politically correct or do you? I I, I was always I, I wear my
9:20
heart on my sleeve. Like, yeah, my life was an open
9:22
book. So you ask whatever you want.
9:24
I don't care about tell you what it is like through my failures,
9:27
through my successes. I'm going to tell you because
9:30
when we give you the power of the pen, it is different.
9:34
So do you want do you want them to give the politically correct
9:36
or do you go about it like trying to find a different way
9:41
to go around the question cause y'all ask the same question 10
9:44
different ways. Yeah, I, I think how I, yeah,
9:48
how I approach it is whatever question I'm given.
9:53
And if I need to follow up, if he he's not giving me anything,
9:56
then I'll follow up with the next question.
9:58
It doesn't bother me that these athletes are, you know, doing
10:02
whatever or some of them have different personalities because
10:05
I'm going to get my story regardless.
10:06
That's how I look at it. Some of these journalists
10:09
complain too much. I mean, all of them complain too
10:12
much about that. Like this game sub, you know,
10:17
the Miami, Texas A&M. Well, what the hell do you want?
10:21
You know you can't have it all all ways that you want it.
10:25
If you want that, then work at Burger King.
10:28
Then you can have it chill way all day you.
10:30
Know what I'm saying? Scooby, Scooby, we were there
10:33
and I didn't see you there. But how many young writers were
10:36
there and some of the questions they're asking?
10:38
I mean, I talked with, I mean, and they had to make the, the,
10:43
the Indiana kids. Yeah, I talked to a couple
10:45
Indiana journalists and I'm just like, please.
10:49
I mean, I would have got the hell out of Bloomington IN, too,
10:51
if I had the chance to like, like, get me on this plane right
10:54
now. I mean, and they were, and they
10:56
were so grateful for the opportunity, you know, just to
10:59
be there and to cover the event. Yeah, again, these young guys
11:04
coming up, man, always tell young people my job is to keep
11:09
my job. My job is not to write stories.
11:12
My job is to keep my job any and every way that I can because I
11:16
know there's 50 people that want my job.
11:18
I'm. Going to say, Speaking of
11:19
College Football Playoff controversy, like Notre Dame
11:21
obviously not getting again, I'm sure there was a lot of
11:22
complaints with that too, with some of the people that you've
11:25
been with us. I don't know how directly
11:26
involved with a lot of with the voters you're with, but
11:28
Alabama's case or Notre Dame, Miami's case or Notre Dame.
11:31
What are your thoughts? The the, the simple fact that
11:35
all right, Alabama could have lost 70 to nothing and they
11:38
still would have got in the predetermined case of who gets
11:43
in kind of bothers me. You know, just, you know, during
11:46
the SEC, the runner up is automatically going to make it.
11:53
And then next year with the, you know, the memorandum
11:57
understanding with Notre Dame top 12 automatically and like,
12:01
like, come man like that, that kind of bothers me.
12:05
But I would have I would have replaced Notre Dame with Alabama
12:09
and had no issue with it. And again, Alabama justified the
12:15
the committee's decision because they beat Oklahoma.
12:18
So now they can breathe a sigh of relief.
12:22
And so again, the the predetermination of it, you
12:27
know, it is what it is. And everybody has a gripe and
12:31
come January 20th, no one would care.
12:34
So, you know, gripe about it for a month and then go about your
12:37
lives. But like we all do.
12:39
And by the way, everybody, if everybody doesn't know, we're
12:42
talking to USA TODAY college football writer Scooby Axon.
12:46
It's been on our show before. I met Scooby at the Heisman
12:49
Trophy dinner two years ago. I didn't even know he was there
12:52
this year. That just shows you how
12:53
oblivious I was. I was in my own little world.
12:56
I, I got a chance to talk to a lot of different people, a lot
12:59
of different writers, a lot of young people that were there and
13:02
some of the questions and, and I'll tell the, I'll tell you
13:05
they're Scooby. I have no problems for these
13:07
young guys to speak out. And I, I know they were, they
13:10
were nice and they wanted to be there and I want to speak, but
13:13
some of the questions and some of the ridiculousness of some of
13:16
these guys and they were cutting off some of the veteran guys
13:19
that wanted to speak. I didn't like that.
13:21
I I I wanted to. Yeah, God, you just got a
13:24
Stafford Pick 6. But anyway, we're watching.
13:29
It too. You just lost that MVP.
13:32
But yeah, look, because every year you get these people from,
13:37
let's just say People magazine or fashion magazine.
13:41
Like, what are you wearing? Like, I don't care come in a
13:44
diaper. I don't care what the guy is
13:46
wearing. Just, you know, just to you
13:48
know, I'm wearing Ralph Lauren like like Javier, he looked like
13:53
he was about to go on a mafia hit.
13:55
Like like he he was he was chained up and he was he was
13:59
getting going boy. Like he came in there mobbed up
14:02
and I'm like I was pissed off. This was I mean, and the guys
14:06
where they bling. I I love it that nil money.
14:09
I love it absolutely. But yeah, it's it just seems
14:12
like it wasn't like the the last year with Hunter did.
14:16
Did you notice how? How straight got?
14:20
First of all, first of all, you did not have to bring up the
14:24
gremlin. OK, I here's the thing.
14:27
And I remember last year very. Are you referring to Stripe or
14:31
Gizmo? Stripe, not gizmo all right, so
14:37
and we I gave him the nickname the gremlin and people are
14:39
riding with it. But I I The thing is with Travis
14:43
hunter last year when we were there, I just felt like there
14:48
was an aura about him like he knew he was going to win.
14:51
He absolutely deserved to win. And it kind of it kind of felt
14:56
the same way with Diego. Diego believed that he should
15:00
have walked away with it and ran away with it.
15:02
And when he heard that Mendoza was picked over him, he was
15:06
shocked. And then he took his blows out
15:09
on on the committee and and then he apologized.
15:12
But I was I was questioning the way he attacked it.
15:15
Obviously that's the way he felt.
15:17
Why he felt the need to apologize.
15:19
Is that going to come back to bite him when he's interviewing
15:22
with NFL teams? Shouldn't it be like what you do
15:27
on the field? Like it like you could be a butt
15:30
hole off the field. So what if you're producing on
15:33
the field? Like just don't be out there
15:35
committing felonies that that's all the NFL teams ask if you
15:39
just don't be out there acting a fool unless.
15:41
You're the readers where they allow that kind of behavior.
15:43
Well, yeah, well, I mean. All the Dallas Cowboys.
15:46
Or that so, yeah. I mean, there there have been
15:48
people that have killed people and been on NFL rosters.
15:53
So like, I mean, so again, if he thought that would come back to
15:58
bite him or somebody got in his ear and said, you need to
16:00
apologize and then Reese Davis, like, I regret my vote.
16:05
Like no one asked you like that. That's the thing.
16:08
These people like give their opinions.
16:11
Like, no, no one asked you whether you regret your vote.
16:14
You just came out and said it, you know, because of the way he
16:17
acted. Again, if you just go go ham on
16:20
people like that, don't apologize because that's the way
16:23
you felt. I just think that's being, you
16:27
know, it's counterproductive to do that.
16:30
You know, once you say after the Heisman voters and I should have
16:34
won, and then 24 hours later after the liquor wears off, you
16:38
know, you, you apologize and no, I'm, I'm cool.
16:43
I want to shift to the whole of Michigan saga with Shawn Moore.
16:45
And. Everything that's happened out
16:47
recently with that Kyle winning Kyle, Kyle Whittingham was just
16:51
hired. There's the new coach.
16:52
I think it's a good move. He's a, he's a winning top 10
16:54
winning coach. I think City took over at Utah.
16:56
But that whole saga, how that went down, and even the Stallion
16:59
scandal from last year, do you think Michigan's lost a program
17:01
reputation as a whole or they're still going to be considered a
17:04
high end football program? Conspiracy theories are out
17:07
there. I think if they beat Ohio State,
17:10
he's still the head coach. I mean, that's just, you know,
17:15
you, you beat your one rival. Well, it just seemed like they
17:19
got they look for any reason to get rid of them after nine wins,
17:22
nine wins in most programs. They're they're cheering, but
17:26
not Michigan. They think their stuff don't
17:29
stink. They think they should win every
17:30
year. So that's the way it is.
17:33
Again, they're going to have to deal with Oregon, Ohio State and
17:37
Indiana and then next four or five years unless those programs
17:41
are going somewhere else. So if they think they're going
17:45
to win the national championship in the next 5 years while he's
17:49
under contract, you know, one of those two or three teams need to
17:53
drop off significantly. That's just not going to happen.
17:57
So again, good hire to stabilize, stabilize the
18:01
program. But I mean, in in five years,
18:06
they'll be looking for a a new coach.
18:08
If I was him, I would have stayed retired, collected that
18:11
check from Utah because they basically offered him a
18:16
significant job sitting on his tail at the time if he would
18:21
have just retired. But hey, take that 8 million,
18:25
brother, go right ahead. I'm not mad at it.
18:30
Either yeah, I mean no. Same thing, but I wanted to go
18:34
back to something and I'm interested too because I don't
18:37
know and questions that I don't know how is that committee when
18:42
they do certain things like obviously the Heisman, like how
18:46
is that committee chosen? So you get there's a number of
18:51
voters in each region, and then you get the former Heisman
18:56
winners each have a vote. And then you have a fan vote.
19:00
So the Heisman Trust chooses who votes.
19:06
And so you have an equal number of voters in each of the six
19:09
regions. And so they submit their vote.
19:13
And I think they narrowed it down this year.
19:14
They say, all right, you can't vote until Saturday at 5:00 PM
19:19
of the conference championship and we're going to close it at
19:23
like Monday at noon. So then the account is tabulate
19:26
the votes and then that's how you get the ESPN.
19:29
These are the top four. And then later in the week they
19:32
announced the five through 10. So that's how it works.
19:35
In professional sports, obviously you have guys that are
19:37
on your beat all the time. Do you have to have a certain
19:40
credential or work with a certain conglomerate to be able
19:44
to? No, no, not at all.
19:46
And the voters, you can look them up.
19:50
Their, their names are readily available.
19:52
So you can look them up just like, like I vote on the
19:55
Blitnikoff Awards. So I mean, there's, I mean,
19:59
there's got to be hundreds of us and some of these places that
20:04
people work I've never heard of before.
20:07
So like, I'm just like, so you get 870 something voters,
20:12
there's a chance that you never heard of this place that this
20:16
person works for and it is a Heisman voter.
20:19
And let's, let's just be real. Some of it don't take it
20:23
seriously because you know, no one is 100% on the ballot.
20:30
So they're leaving names off the ballot, like Mandela's name was
20:34
left off of 5% of the ballots. Like how do you do that?
20:38
If you take your job seriously, You see what I'm saying?
20:42
So some of these dudes don't watch a liquor college football
20:46
all year, but still have the privilege to be voters.
20:49
And the Heisman Trust delves out those.
20:53
You know, those privileges to vote on the Heisman.
20:58
We are talking to USA TODAY college football writer Scooby
21:02
Axon. Scooby is we've built a good
21:05
relationship. I again, I didn't see him at the
21:07
Heisman Trophy dinner, but hey, you know what, maybe he was
21:11
busy. I was busy.
21:12
I was speaking to a lot of different people.
21:14
Scooby, I'm going to tell you something.
21:17
I sat right across the table from you.
21:19
Really. How did I miss you at at dinner?
21:22
How was it my cell phone? At dinner, the the the table
21:25
next to the TV on the. Holy crap, now I do read that.
21:28
Holy crap, it was. Yeah, that.
21:30
That black dude, that was me. Wow, that makes you look like an
21:36
asshole. You know, I don't think it
21:37
makes. No, he was concentrating on that
21:39
feast like we all were, because I, I, I know I was hungry than a
21:44
hostage. I was concentrating on that
21:46
food. I I was so yeah, I was a little
21:48
lost in translation, but. It's all good, brother, it's all
21:52
good. Scoopy, I got a good question
21:54
for you. This this Oregon, Texas Tech
21:56
game, it's the game that really sticks out to me out of all the
21:59
games. And I, I think it's the battle
22:02
of the offense against the battle of the defense.
22:04
Dan Lanning is to me, one of my favorite coaches in college
22:07
football. And Texas Tech is the best, I
22:11
think the best defense in this tournament.
22:14
You look at this game and this game is going to be played
22:16
really down to the wire. I think whoever wins this game
22:20
could really surprise the world and go to a national
22:24
championship. Because I think Oregon, if they
22:25
match up against Indiana and Indiana beat Alabama, they can
22:28
beat them. I, I, I really do believe it.
22:30
And I think they could beat a team like Alabama as well, and
22:34
Texas Tech could beat anybody with that defense.
22:36
They just need a score. What do you think?
22:39
Do you think this is the best game out of all the games?
22:42
I'm I'm really curious about the Miami Ohio State game, but the
22:47
the Oregon game, I think Oregon needs to run the ball.
22:50
I know Texas Tech is stout up front.
22:52
You got Rodriguez and I saw that he was probable for the game on
22:56
the injury report, but of course, I think he's going to
22:59
play unless something catastrophic happens.
23:02
But they need to run the ball and they need to run it
23:05
effectively. You can't be in 3rd and seven,
23:07
third and eight because your punters going to get much work
23:10
that night. So if Oregon wants to advance,
23:14
they need to run the ball first and foremost.
23:17
And then once you loosen up that defense, take your shots, Dante,
23:21
nothing downfield. You got the running lanes and
23:24
that's how you get it done against Texas Tech because that
23:27
that front, that NIL front is just too stout.
23:31
And them boys are hungry. They got their NIL money.
23:33
They won a championship. So Oregon, that's the key to
23:38
victory in in what I see. That's just going to be a hell
23:42
of a game. If anybody said they thought
23:43
Texas Tech would make it this far, stay off the sauce at the
23:48
end of the season like no one thought.
23:50
No one thought they would be here.
23:52
They thought they would be good. But playoff caliber.
23:54
Come on. Yeah.
23:57
Yes, I want to shift to the other game, the Alabama.
23:59
What kind of sauce is it? Is it hot sauce?
24:01
Oh, oh, you know what kind of sauce it is?
24:03
It's Texas. It's always hot sauce.
24:07
I just hope it's not sauce. Garner.
24:09
Oh, not Sauce Gardner. Not BBQ sauce.
24:11
You know what? You know what's up?
24:14
I want to shift. I want to shift to the other
24:15
game, the Indiana, Alabama matchup.
24:16
I was under the impression that Oklahoma or Alabama, whoever won
24:20
that game. I was wrong.
24:20
I thought Oklahoma would win, but both of those teams could
24:23
easily upset Indiana and both of those teams could actually go to
24:25
the national championship. Now Alabama is there against
24:28
Indiana. We've saw Ryan Williams kind of
24:30
up and down throughout the year. Obviously, Alabama's got the
24:32
really good defense and then Indiana had a good defense of
24:35
showing against Ohio State in the national championship.
24:36
What are the keys to victory for Indiana and for Alabama to get
24:39
the upset? Again, I think the seven points
24:43
that Indiana is getting is a bit much, but which Alabama team is
24:49
going to show up? The one against Georgia where
24:52
they just just stayed screwed? We're not going to run the ball
24:55
because we can't and rely on those receivers.
24:58
Again, it's I think with the 2 contest, Oregon, Indy, Oregon,
25:04
Texas Tech in this game running the football because again, you
25:09
go past it, 45 * 3 of those are coming back the other way.
25:15
I'm just telling you now you need to establish some kind of
25:19
of of running game. This is not the Texas Tech
25:22
Graham Herald, Chris Kingsbury, you know, where you throw it 60
25:27
times and and can come away with a victory that that's those days
25:31
are long gone. So again, if they if they show
25:35
up like they did against, you know, Georgia, you know, and
25:40
they ran it a little bit against Oklahoma, Oklahoma turned the
25:42
ball over and had horrible special teams.
25:45
That's what got them beat and the ability, the ability not to
25:49
keep a lead, which I don't understand, but you turn the
25:52
ball over, that's what's going to happen to you.
25:54
So play mistake free, establish a run.
25:58
We're not talking about breaking off 3040 fifty yard runs, 4-5
26:04
yards to pop on 1st down to get you in that second and 5:30 and
26:09
4:00 And then again, because if you turn the ball over, you're
26:13
committing stupid penalties. It might be a wrap by halftime.
26:19
Wow, because Indiana is that good.
26:22
So you, you, you, you've touched on a few games and obviously you
26:28
look it as a whole and and cover it all.
26:31
Yeah, if you had to pick one right now, based upon what
26:37
you've seen, who would be your winner right now to take the
26:42
ship? Oh man.
26:47
I picked Ohio State at the end of the year.
26:51
Nothing that I've seen even against Indiana that that game
26:55
reminded me. You remember a couple years ago
26:57
when Ohio State played Michigan State in the Big 10 championship
27:01
and they got beat and saw Urban Meyer on on the golf cart eating
27:05
Papa John's after the after. That's what that reminded me of.
27:13
And so like it just, I, I just think they're too talented.
27:19
That defense is the absolute game record.
27:22
And again, Carson Beck, you know, he can give you 5
27:27
touchdowns or he can throw you 4 picks.
27:29
Again, that's just how Miami is. But Miami got some dogs on
27:33
defense too. If Ohio State is not careful,
27:37
they can they can find themselves in a Texas A&M type
27:40
game, low scoring, where the the first team that scores a
27:44
touchdown or gets a turnover deep in the opponent's territory
27:49
is going to win this game. You mentioned Carlson back.
27:52
And by the way, I now I do remember you sitting down
27:56
because we were talking about Miami, not lying.
27:59
No, I'm being serious. Were we?
28:01
Were we not talking about Miami? We were talking about Miami.
28:04
We were talking about Miami. You didn't know it was him.
28:07
No, dude, I, dude, I was in my own little world.
28:10
And I again, I, I saw some people that I knew and I I was
28:13
jumping ship here, you know, I was jumping from table to table.
28:16
And he would tell, he would tell you that I was doing that.
28:19
Yeah. So.
28:19
So my question to you is costin Beck is a lot of people think
28:24
could be a late first round pick.
28:26
Now that obviously certain like seller is decided to go back to
28:30
college for one more year. Beck could actually sneak into
28:34
the first round possibly and and, and if he's not in the
28:37
first round, he's an early second round pick.
28:39
Some people like Carlson back and and think that this guy
28:43
could be a good NFL quarterback. Some people think he's a bow
28:48
Knicks type of player. What?
28:49
What do you think? He is.
28:51
So there is a couple of scenarios where Mendoza goes #1
28:57
and you won't see another quarterback taken into the third
29:00
or fourth round. Yep.
29:02
Really. Really.
29:03
Because they're waiting for next year's class.
29:07
This would say Moore comes back to school.
29:09
I don't know why he would, but let's just say he does.
29:14
Then you might have a middle first round type of scenario
29:19
with Mendoza and then more. And it just really depends on
29:24
how many quarterback desperate teams are out there.
29:27
Giants, Raiders, Browns. If they're not sticking with
29:32
Sanders, those are three off the top.
29:36
The Jets, I don't know what the he'll do.
29:40
Well, I mean, the Giants can stick with Dart, but he just
29:42
needs to stay healthy. So let's just say Jets, Raiders,
29:49
Browns, those 3. And so again, if they like what
29:56
they see. And of course, all of this is
29:58
the in the beauty in the eye, the beholder.
30:01
You know, it's like whatever you see, you know, a couple years
30:04
ago, I don't know what the Colts was looking at when they chose
30:07
Richardson, but they took him. They saw something.
30:11
Again, if you want to have the the Stevie Wonder syndrome,
30:16
that's your business. You know, you're going to pay
30:18
for it. You know, you got to bring, you
30:21
know, Old Man River in from, you know, Shady Ponds to the
30:25
quarterback for you, you know, so.
30:29
Hey, hold on, hold on. Stop picking that old man river.
30:32
I he showed up. He actually at least he showed
30:36
up. I'm.
30:36
Impressed. I know, I know that arm was sore
30:38
at the end of the game. I know he was soaking that in
30:41
some Bengay with some Tiger bomb after the game, but yeah, that's
30:47
just that's just how you evaluating quarterbacks, all
30:51
these gurus. It's just whatever evaluator
30:54
sees in that moment. Scooby.
30:56
No one. That's the problem.
30:58
That's the problem, yeah. Because even though you're
31:01
looking at this class not to be a quarterback class, we have
31:04
seen classes that everybody says it's not a quarterback class.
31:07
And then you find two or three quarterbacks that.
31:10
Yeah, franchise quarterbacks. Yes, I, I.
31:14
You know these guys that do this for a living?
31:18
No, Piper. We're supposed to retire 10
31:21
years ago. Yeah, God bless them.
31:25
Make that money, brother. You know, because they're wrong
31:28
more often than not. I I remember a comic, his name
31:34
is George Wallace. He's sign actually Seinfeld's
31:37
best friend. He says what other profession
31:41
like the weatherman, where you're always wrong?
31:43
And they say come on back in tomorrow.
31:47
They're always predicting stuff and they're always mostly wrong.
31:51
It's like, come on back in tomorrow, do it again.
31:54
It's just like these evaluators, you know, Now you mentioned Matt
31:58
Ryan tied to the Falcons. Has anybody seen that?
32:03
He knows how to evaluate anything He.
32:05
Doesn't know how to evaluate how to throw a football anymore.
32:10
I mean, so again, I'm not sure where these owners or these GM's
32:18
are looking, but again, God bless them because their
32:22
reputation, their jobs are on the line.
32:24
If they don't, you know, they'll be pink slip.
32:28
When is when is Black Monday is next Monday?
32:31
When is the regular season in? It might as well be pink slip
32:34
Monday. That's what I call it.
32:35
Well, I want to tell you something.
32:37
I wrote a story on the Worldwide Sports Radio Network making fun
32:40
of Black Friday and how just impossibly stupid the the teams
32:45
are when when you get off, the season's over and the first
32:49
thing they're going to do is just throw your quarterback,
32:52
Throw your quarterback. I mean, yeah, throw your
32:54
quarterback and then throw your coach under the bus.
32:56
Like, oh, oh, you can't, You can't.
32:58
You don't know how to coach this guy.
33:00
We got to bring in somebody. Else Dijon.
33:04
Dijon, what's that 90 yards? That's.
33:07
My guy. 93 yards. Oh, that's this is ridiculous.
33:11
So, yeah, you speak of Black Friday.
33:13
You remember back in the day where these idiots used to go to
33:16
the store like 4:30 in the morning and wait and wait for
33:20
the store to open, then get crushed with the doors open.
33:25
You know, you might get trampled to get a damn Christmas present.
33:29
Like, like now that's, that's, that's how it is when, when you
33:34
compare what these GM's and, and all these evaluators have to do,
33:39
you have to field a competent football team.
33:43
And every year like The Jets yesterday, like I was like, get
33:48
this off of my TV, man. This is, this is I don't want to
33:51
watch this. I'd rather watch like a Lifetime
33:54
movie. Why don't you cheer me up?
33:56
Well I got what you're saying and I I understand and as AI do
34:00
I do. I'm AII root, I root for The
34:03
Jets and I'm an Eagles. Guy, Why?
34:05
Because I'm a Jet fan. I don't know.
34:06
Because because I do. I'm a Jet fan.
34:08
I don't know why. I just.
34:10
Am like are you are you like generationally tied to that
34:14
team? Like like why?
34:15
No, why? You know, when I was a kid, I,
34:18
I, I was like 6 years old and I was watching a football game
34:22
that just so happened to be The Jets and I started to be a Jet
34:26
fan. I I'm.
34:27
Also, mommy, this team is horrible.
34:29
I like them. My mom wasn't a football fan and
34:31
my father wasn't a sports fan, so they, they weren't really
34:34
into that stuff. So I did and I was in I, when I,
34:38
as I got older, I rooted also for the Eagles because I was a
34:40
Donovan McNabb fan. I followed him in Syracuse.
34:43
I followed him in high school. So I was a big fan of Donovan
34:47
McNabb. And when, when he went to the
34:49
Eagles, I rooted for the Eagles because The Jets were never
34:51
good. So I, I always root on my team.
34:55
Now I'm as an analyst. You know this when you when you
34:58
get into this business, you really have to be honest with
35:01
yourself and the taste that you root for so.
35:03
Absolutely. And I'm honest.
35:04
Absolutely like like I said, I went to University of Oklahoma,
35:07
but I do not shed 1 tear when they lose because I went out
35:11
there. You know, I know friends when
35:16
oh, you lose this ruins their entire weekend, won't talk to
35:20
the wife, won't talk to the kids, like just just absolutely
35:24
destruct like I don't understand it, but that's.
35:26
That's the club in Nebraska. That's what we've been
35:28
struggling with for a long. Time like I like.
35:30
I like the Braves. Me too.
35:32
Because I I grew up on a military base in Oklahoma and
35:37
the only channels we had were NBCCBS.
35:41
Sure wasn't. The ABC and TBS, yeah.
35:47
And they were the braids with absolute garbage.
35:49
And so like that was the only thing going.
35:52
So like I was just like, OK, I'm I'm, I'm rocking with so I know
35:55
what you mean. I I know exactly what you mean
35:59
with The Jets. You know, that's just your team
36:01
and you just got to ride with the good, bad and the mostly
36:04
ugly. No, I got to go ride with the
36:06
good bag bad and and just throw up every single time I watch
36:09
them. But I'm hoping that I know a lot
36:12
of jet fans and and we're going to have to go.
36:14
But I I I want to say something. I know a lot of jet fans are I
36:18
don't know what's going on. What was with the press
36:21
conference in the media with Aaron Glenn?
36:23
I thought Aaron Glenn really looked bad yesterday, but I
36:27
understand that. What are you going to say?
36:29
What what are you going to say? This is you knew this was going
36:32
to be a bad year and this wasn't your team.
36:34
This is Robert Sala's team. So he went into the season
36:37
thinking that or any Jet fan thought that they were going to
36:40
win. And by the way, I am going to
36:42
take a take a shot at somebody for years.
36:45
I listen to these Jet fans and Jet guys on social media and
36:50
this is attack to Jake Asman, all right?
36:53
And I am going to attack him because this man went on after
36:56
the game and attacked Aaron Glenn when before the season
37:00
started, This guy has he was at a butt fetish for Aaron Glenn.
37:03
Oh, my God, Aaron Glenn. Aaron.
37:06
Yeah, I love this guy. This guy's great.
37:10
And now all of a sudden get rid of him.
37:12
That's the problem with jet guys and jet media guys.
37:17
They they fall in love with guys and then they give up on the
37:19
guys and you don't even give him a chance.
37:22
And I think that's the problem with Aaron Glenn.
37:24
I don't know. I know what Aaron Glenn is, but
37:25
I I can't make a decision in one year what he is when we don't
37:29
know if he could develop a quarterback or bring in.
37:32
His it's it's not like it's not without precedent coaches
37:35
getting fired after year one yeah, we've seen this a lot in
37:39
the NFL. So again, if they do make the
37:42
decision next Monday that they just can't stand losing like
37:47
this because if they I think they were one of four teams that
37:53
have lost four games in a row by more than 20 points in NFL
37:57
history. So I mean, it's it's bad.
38:01
It's as bad, yeah, it's bad. So again, if if they want to.
38:05
They also traded their two best defensive players at the trade.
38:09
Headline and you and you mentioned the Raiders like it's
38:12
not only dependent on draft picks.
38:14
These guys have almost $100 million in cap space.
38:17
So spend that money on free agents.
38:20
If you have to overpay, I mean, just to get some new blood in
38:25
that building. If you have to overpay for some
38:27
of these free agents, you just need something new in that
38:31
building. You know, I think you got the
38:33
running back. Get some offensive lineman, you
38:37
know, get a quarterback in there that won't throw it to the other
38:40
team. I think The Jets have the
38:41
offensive line. They've got guys.
38:43
That yes, yeah, Bruce Hall, Garrett Wilson is hurt, of
38:46
course, but like, just get somebody who won't throw the
38:50
who's not color blind throw the ball to your guys, please.
38:55
Like, like for once in your life, Like, come on, you know,
38:59
I'm serious. Like like who are you throwing
39:02
to? I've never heard anybody say
39:06
that. Well, get somebody who's not
39:08
color blind. I don't know what else it is if
39:11
they're checking these guys eyes at the facility before the
39:15
season, like I don't know what what's going on.
39:18
That's a good take. I'm just, I mean, that's what I
39:22
see on my TV. Like I said, I just like, OK,
39:26
that's the wrong color jersey and that wrong color jersey is
39:29
going the other way with the football.
39:32
But I just try to call it as I see it.
39:37
You know, like I said, these guys are making millions of
39:40
dollars having the privilege to play professional football.
39:44
Take a little criticism, Stafford.
39:47
Just that. Just sit on the bench, brother.
39:52
It's OK. You're already in the playoffs.
39:55
Yeah. So like I said, it's these teams
40:00
at some, some days, like living in New York City, you just don't
40:04
know what the hell they're doing.
40:05
Like, like, like anybody else is with the incompetence of the
40:10
Giants and Jets would have been fired, you know, banned from the
40:15
league. You know anything.
40:18
So again, he. Said banned from the league.
40:24
I mean, do something like you just get the same old rotation
40:28
of guys. You get fired one place, show up
40:30
at another place and bring another guy in here that don't
40:33
know what the hell he's doing. 3 or 4 years later he's fired.
40:36
I I don't understand it, but you know.
40:39
Scooby, you're a fantastic. You do such great, fantastic
40:44
work for USA TODAY. Let's get you on after the
40:47
season when when we find out who's going to win this national
40:51
championship. Oh yeah, it's going, it's going
40:53
to be, it's going to be lovely. Like I said, just I appreciate
40:57
you guys always always enjoy a good laugh man because.
41:03
Just make sure you're not color blind.
41:04
Make sure you're not color blind, OK?
41:06
Oh, Oh no, I'm not. Hey, I won't.
41:09
I'm sure if I had any lick of athletic talent, I won't throw
41:12
the ball to the wrong team. I could tell you that for damn
41:15
sure, you know. So, all right, ladies and
41:20
gentlemen, that is Scooby Axon. You know, USA TODAY college
41:25
football extraordinaire knows his stuff.
41:28
He is fantastic. Gave us a take color blind.
41:32
Never heard a take where an analyst calls the Jet
41:37
quarterbacks colorblind? That's pretty funny.
41:40
Now the real question. That's funny.
41:41
Who's better, The Jets colorblind quarterback or
41:44
Shaddor Sanders, Prime blind? That's true.
41:47
That's right, that's true. Keep them away from The Jets.
41:50
I do not want Shaddor Sanders there.
41:52
Would you denounce your fandom of Shaddor?
41:54
Sanders goes. Yeah, I throw myself off a
41:56
freaking roof. OK, No thanks anyways, we have
42:01
save your tears. Mom, what's one thing?
42:05
That you can't talk to me about my sexual fantasies?
42:08
No, say yourself. This is not ideal, but if it's
42:12
what means it is not ideal. But if it's this is not ideal.
42:15
But if it is, what means? You can't treble stamp a double
42:18
stamp. You can't treble stamp a double
42:19
stamp Lloyd. You can't dribble stamp a double
42:21
stamp, Lloyd you. Guys, now it's time for save
42:27
your tears. All right, guys, time for the
42:32
recap of Week 17 Seder tears. All right, again, this is one of
42:38
those games where we have $15 a salary cap.
42:40
We spend it on this collection of players from the three
42:44
Christmas games this week. And we, if you watch the
42:47
Christmas games, you know that it was some decent football,
42:51
better than a lot of the football we got on Sunday.
42:54
If you took Jameer Gibbs, if you had him in championship week in
42:57
fantasy football like I did, you were not pleased with his
43:00
efforts in this game. It's kind of up and down.
43:03
We'll take a look at the results.
43:06
Overall, only a few guys played in this week.
43:08
And oh, lo and behold, I am the winner by a hair over Speedy,
43:15
basically because I took that Prescott.
43:17
I picked Jimmy or Gibbs. Big mistake.
43:20
Gibbs was a mistake. Justin Jefferson has been a
43:23
mistake all season. You know, we said at one point
43:27
Wandell Robinson had the same stats as Justin Jefferson.
43:30
Wandell Robinson has better stats than Justin Jefferson this
43:33
year. That's pretty crazy.
43:35
Wandell Robinson is going to get paid this offseason too, and
43:38
it's not going to be by the Giants.
43:40
At least it better not be. Anyway, I digress guys.
43:44
Time for the compliment. Chorus.
43:47
Errol, you came in the 4th place.
43:49
How wonderful. All right, fish, you've been the
43:53
back end. And I'm not talking about that
43:55
kind of back end, but the back end. 51% positive.
43:59
That's positive. Just just letting you know as
44:03
you go down the road of the back end.
44:08
The backbone of the show you really all the cartoons and the
44:14
craziness that you add to the show is fantastic.
44:18
I lean towards you in so many different ways.
44:21
Offset and you've been a big part of some of the success and
44:26
some of the work that we've done over the last past year and has
44:29
given me a chance to just concentrate on the content.
44:32
And so I appreciate you. And you know, even when you're
44:36
sick, when you're sick and you're upset and you're angry, I
44:39
still love you, man. So thank you for all the hard
44:42
work and dedication of 2025 and 2026.
44:46
It's going to be a really, really big year for you and for
44:49
us. So get ready for this this drive
44:52
to the finish line. All right, that's that was
44:56
really sweet. I appreciate that third place
44:58
finisher Tommy. Poops.
45:00
Fish, my man, you know, I'm glad that I don't.
45:03
I don't, I don't remember this probably either the second or
45:05
third time that I remember giving you your compliments,
45:08
giving you your flowers for being the king and save your
45:11
tears. But man, congratulations.
45:13
You know, like I all said, kind of piggybacking off of that, you
45:16
know, nobody does what you do. Nobody can bring what you bring
45:20
to the show. And for that, I appreciate you.
45:22
I heavily appreciate it. Of course, everything you do,
45:24
like Errol said. And you know, I thought I knew.
45:27
I thought I knew New York football Giants until I met you.
45:31
And you know, you were just one of the biggest Giants fans.
45:33
And I absolutely love it, of course, being a fellow Giants
45:35
fan, of course. So hey man, congratulations and
45:39
to 2026. For our season champion and
45:42
Speedy, after this week's episode, we are going to give
45:45
you, I don't know exactly what it is we're going to give you
45:48
Errol, but for the season championship, Speedy has to get
45:51
something. Maybe we give him an advantage
45:54
for the playoffs. What we'll do.
45:56
Maybe it's something where like there's a small prize, Speedy,
46:00
but you get like the advantage in the playoffs.
46:02
So we'll talk about. Give you his finger Midget
46:04
strippers. Midget strippers.
46:08
Wow, you're going to go Paris? I am a legend.
46:11
I'll remember that if you win a playoff, save your tears.
46:14
I want to hit it. Jabba's being literal speedy.
46:19
It's you're up, my friend. Yes.
46:21
First of all, I'm surprised I was just that close to no man.
46:23
Hold on, sorry. Don't get us canceled, little
46:24
people. Strippers, sorry.
46:26
Oh, I ran God. I think they prefer courtesan
46:32
Jabba, little people, courtesans.
46:36
Robust smack my ass. No.
46:41
Droba droba ass licker. Well, all right, Speedy, just
46:47
get it. Over First of all, again, I
46:49
wasn't surprised, I was not close.
46:51
I thought with all the Broncos I picked, I wasn't sure where that
46:53
game was going the way it was ugly.
46:54
But this should do an amazing job preparing this game.
46:57
All the prep, all the random combinations that you've come up
47:00
with to be creative, create some different players that could get
47:03
in there and some different scenarios on how to play it.
47:06
All the trials and tribulations we have to do throughout the
47:08
year from Nathan had to figure out which receiver column was
47:11
right to all the different positional advantages and
47:14
scoring. You obviously prep this one very
47:15
well and all the different point totals, all the different
47:18
players involved, you do a fantastic job with this segment
47:20
and coming out on top at the end.
47:23
I appreciate it, Speedy. We are going to play the week 18
47:26
version of this later on in the show because again, we only have
47:29
one show this week. It's just.
47:31
I love Lisa Ann. One show for Christmas, Week 1
47:34
show for New Year's Week, but we're going to be back to Monday
47:36
and Thursday starting next Monday in 2026.
47:41
Save your tears Week 18 later on tonight.
47:44
Mom, what's one thing? That you can't talk to me about
47:47
my sexual fantasies. Say your sorry.
47:52
It is not ideal, but if it's what means?
47:54
It is not ideal, but if it's just not ideal.
47:56
But if it is, what means? You can't treble stamp a double
47:59
stamp. You can't treble stamp a double
48:00
stamp Lloyd. You can't treble stamp a double.
48:02
Stamp but but. You guys, now it's time for save
48:08
your tears. By the way, I just want to give
48:13
a shout out to the New York Jets for absolutely bombing on that
48:16
game. That was embarrassing.
48:18
Shame on The Jets organization for letting them go out there.
48:22
That's all I'm going to say. We got more show.
48:24
I know got more show I. Got it.
48:26
Don't need to ruin later segments.
48:28
All right, I'm sorry, here we go.
48:30
We got the $15 salary cap for Savior Tears Week 18.
48:35
I am the defending champion, so I will pick the order.
48:37
We will pick our players from this group of games.
48:41
I tried to figure out what games would actually have players
48:45
trying. So I came up with the games.
48:47
We talked about the Panthers face in the Bucks, the Ravens
48:49
face in the Steelers, and I figured the Giants and Cowboys
48:52
would just have it out because that's what they do.
48:55
So here's the rosters that you could pick from $5 quarterback
48:59
Dak Prescott, Baker Mayfield for four, Lamar for three, Dart for
49:04
two and Aaron Rodgers. Last chance perhaps to ever get
49:07
Aaron Rodgers for a dollar at running back coming fresh off
49:11
200 plus yards and four TDs Derek Henry followed by Javonte
49:15
Williams, Bucky Irving, Jalen Warren and Tyrone Tracy.
49:20
Junior at wide receivers one and two.
49:23
I just keep doing this every time we have Cowboys put in
49:25
George Pickens at one, $5 one and CD Lamb at the other.
49:29
Just makes sense. They're that good.
49:31
Zay Flowers at four and wide receiver one.
49:33
Tedaroa McMillan, T Mac for three.
49:36
MVS Yes, MVS is playing receiver for Aaron Rodgers this week, and
49:44
Hopkins is another guy that blast from the past.
49:47
He's a dollar player, real thin at receiver this week.
49:50
Wandale Robinson is the $4.00 player looking to cash in on his
49:55
big year in the offseason. Jalen Coker for three, Adam
49:58
Thielen for two and the one with no hands whatsoever, Darius
50:03
Slayden for a buck at tight end, Jake Ferguson for five, Theo
50:07
Johnson for four, Mark Andrews 3K dot and two, and Pittsburgh's
50:11
finest Pat Fryer move cleans it out.
50:15
All right, so here we go to the board.
50:18
I'm going to bring this back up and let's go with to start us
50:24
off Tommy. Poops.
50:27
All right, and let me just. Put it back up for you, all
50:30
right? I was kind of looking at it
50:32
before. I'm going to do this quick.
50:36
I know exactly where I'm going to go.
50:37
I'm going to go with Dak Prescott.
50:41
I'm sorry, not Dak. I'm going to go Baker Mayfield
50:44
$4.00. Then I'm going to go Derrick
50:47
Henry for five, Give me TMAC, Adam Thielen and then
50:54
Friarmouth. OK, so I have Baker, Henry,
51:00
Tmac, Thielen and Friarmouth. That's it.
51:06
All right, I need to know what Speedy's doing.
51:11
All right, I'm going to go one of each number.
51:12
Give me Baker, give me Tracy, give me McMillan, give me CD
51:17
Lamb and K dot. Lamb and Auden.
51:22
All right, so I got you, Baker, Tracy T Mac, Lamb and Auden.
51:28
Let's go to. Let's go to Java.
51:34
I'm going to go Baker, Bucky, Irving, George Pickens, then I'm
51:51
going to go Slayton and then K dot.
52:00
All right, I got you for Baker, Bucky, Pickens, Slayton and
52:03
Auden. I'm going to go before you
52:08
Errol, just so that you, you know that I'm going to be in
52:14
your head because you're going to be thinking that you're
52:16
copying my pics because they're so good.
52:20
I'm going to go with Jackson Dart for 2 bucks.
52:25
I am going to then take for the matchups again the Ravens
52:35
defense. And overthink it, Fish.
52:39
Yeah, the Giants aren't stopping Jovante Williams.
52:41
Let's do that, Jovante. Then at receiver, I think I want
52:50
to spend money at one of these. I think it's going to be TMAC.
52:59
So what does that give me? I got 9, so I got 6 left, which
53:03
is good. That gives me CD Lam and
53:07
Friarmouth so I got dart, Jovante, T Mac Lamb and
53:13
Friarmouth. Errol, finish it out.
53:16
I'm gonna go Lamar. I'm gonna go Derrick Henry.
53:24
I'm gonna go George Pickens. So how many?
53:30
How much? Are we have two left?
53:31
All right, just go 121. Dollar, I'm gonna go with.
53:34
I'm gonna go with Darius Layton and Pat Vermouth, whatever his
53:39
name is. So there you go.
53:41
I'm going to go that because I I'm going to go, I'm going to go
53:44
heavy on this one, so. All right, there it is guys.
53:48
We'll go over the results on Monday and that will conclude
53:51
the regular season for Save Your Tears.
53:54
And again, if you don't like the results, he can't cry about it.
53:57
You got to save your tears. Save.
53:59
Fish. Hey Fish, can you bring that
54:01
back up for a second? Yeah, I was going to bring up
54:04
the the full screen of it just so we can take a look.
54:09
Java's going to guess what, everyone.
54:10
Takes. So we got three Bakers, we got a
54:15
couple of Derrick Henry's. Looks like George Pickens was
54:20
popular, so was Ted Rowan McMillan, Couple of Lambs and
54:23
Sladens, and three Fire moths and two Audens.
54:28
Interesting choices, boys. All right, I've got I've got 1
54:33
coming in from one of one of my buddies.
54:37
Shout out to Jeremy, who's listening right now.
54:40
And so he I'm going to I'm going to make a bet with him who wins
54:44
this week. And so he wants Jackson Dart.
54:52
All right, so let's just put him over here on the side.
54:54
Here we go, Dart. Then he wants Derrick Henry, T
55:02
Mac, that's 10 Wandell. And then he has the dollar left.
55:12
So you got far enough. All right, Jeremy, here you go.
55:18
All right, so you're in the game, Jeremy.
55:19
That's actually not a bad idea. Maybe we can get some fans every
55:22
week to to be to play along. That might be something fun that
55:25
we can do as we evolve this game.
55:29
Not bad. It's been a great year and it's
55:31
been a full year with Jabba Chamberlain.
55:33
It's been a full year with Fish. It's been a full year with all
55:36
of you guys. It's been a great one.
55:40
The factor where we are and where we're going to be next
55:43
year could be special. I, I couldn't have done it
55:47
without any of you guys. I again, specifically the work
55:52
that gets put on on put in on the back end is, is amazing and
55:58
I appreciate everybody's hard work and dedication.
56:00
I, I have a lot of love for everybody, all the fans out
56:03
there listening to us and TuneIn and download and look out for
56:07
the craziness that could come about this show.
56:11
We appreciate you guys and I, I guess I'm going to speak for, I
56:14
guess unless Java wants to speak to for, for the fans.
56:18
I I appreciate everybody that puts the work into this show so.
56:24
Yeah, I mean, I don't, I don't know if words can express you
56:27
guys have literally, I thought I was a sports fan.
56:31
I wasn't. And you guys have opened my eyes
56:34
to so many things and where I pay attention to so many things
56:38
different because I don't want to sound like a Jackass.
56:42
And you guys have just like opened me up where I look at
56:46
sports so differently and it's made me look at life
56:50
differently. And, you know, just embodying
56:53
what sports can do for all of us and not only opening us up to to
57:01
different perspectives and different thoughts and views,
57:04
but opening us up as people. And you think that's the
57:08
greatest thing about sports. And I think that's the greatest
57:10
thing about this show because you don't ever know what you're
57:12
going to get. And it's been awesome.
57:14
It's been frustrating at times. It definitely has.
57:18
I love you guys, but it has been and you know, we crawl before we
57:23
walk and it's just been it. It's going to be a fun journey.
57:27
And I know it's frustrating sometimes for, for all of us in,
57:31
in different ways, but I'm so grateful to have these moments
57:38
and, and where I can, I can share my thoughts and I can be
57:42
me. And, and you guys don't judge me
57:45
and our fans don't because I love them because they're the
57:49
reason why we do this. We love sports, but we love
57:53
giving a different perspective and maybe a different thought or
57:57
a different view. So man, I hope it's been a fun
58:01
year. I think we've learned a lot from
58:03
each other and I, I truly, genuinely appreciate that.
58:07
And it's been a tough year for everybody.
58:09
Like, I mean, that's, that's life though.
58:12
But what we look forward to is, is the things that lie ahead and
58:17
just very fortunate to be in this opportunity and and do
58:21
these things with you guys. So I appreciate first and
58:24
foremost, because I know time is precious and I appreciate your
58:28
guys's time. And more importantly, I
58:31
appreciate you use the effort and the fact that you care about
58:34
what we're doing and just thank you guys so much.
58:38
I mean, there's, there's not much more I can say.
58:40
I want to before I let everybody go and I want to thank everybody
58:45
on Apple and Spotify that TuneIn and download and write all these
58:51
crazy things on all the Reddit fans that say the the most
58:57
derogatory funny things I've ever seen in my entire life.
59:01
And on Instagram and TikTok and Facebook and all the fans, Jabba
59:06
the mouth fans in worldwide sports radio network fans out
59:10
there and all the guys that do their shows, you know, from, you
59:14
know, Josh Silverberg and his father and Eric and and then
59:18
snowman. Thank you to them for really
59:21
putting out a good product. And and like I said, next year
59:26
is a week away or less than a week away, actually a couple
59:29
days away. And I'm going to say one thing
59:32
to all the fans and all the people out there and all the
59:35
podcasts out there, watch out. So I'm going to say you can take
59:40
it whatever way you want. Watch the F out.
59:45
That's it anyways. I'm just going to give you 2
59:47
lines, Errol, that no one has got a more original show than
59:51
what we do here. Everyone's got sports takes, but
59:54
no one has the creativity. People are stealing segments
59:57
from us that we see on the big shows. 100% that I know that I
1:00:01
came up with with you on the phone, Errol.
1:00:03
You know, so I'm real proud of kind of being a trendsetter.
1:00:08
As well in an industry that seems to be a lot of the same.
1:00:12
Lost, Absolutely lost. You're absolutely right.
1:00:15
Fish lost. And that's what you're seeing
1:00:18
right now with WFAN. And they're firing people and
1:00:22
many people go and Trinity Sports is gone and everything is
1:00:26
flopping around and they're trying to figure out what to do
1:00:28
next. Here's what you do.
1:00:30
Watch out and look at the the talent that's out there and
1:00:34
realize that there is talent right in front of your faces.
1:00:37
Open up your checkbooks and get ready because you're going to be
1:00:41
paying. That's all I'm going to say.
1:00:42
You're going to be paying because you had, you had this
1:00:46
sitting for such a long time and you're going to be paying.
1:00:50
That's all I'm going to say. That's it.
1:00:51
I, I had to add that because I'm just disgusted with the garbage
1:00:56
that I've seen on television and radio over the last couple of
1:00:59
years and it makes me sick to my stomach.
1:01:01
Anyways, I'm going to let you guys say your final goodbyes for
1:01:05
the new year. Tommy, you first.
1:01:08
Yeah, you guys pretty much said a lot of it.
1:01:10
You know, we've been putting a lot of work and especially
1:01:13
thanks to you guys, you know, I don't think any of us can do
1:01:15
ones job without the other. So I really do appreciate, you
1:01:18
know, all the hard work that you guys put into the show.
1:01:20
You know, I really appreciate you guys, you know, being
1:01:23
welcomed in every to every. Week.
1:01:24
It's fish and speedy, just so you know.
1:01:26
Of course, yeah, Fish and speedy, you know you guys are
1:01:28
awesome. Jabba and Arrow, you know you
1:01:29
guys being the on air talents. Of course, you know you guys
1:01:32
doing what you guys do. You know it's all appreciative.
1:01:35
Of course, even Nathan. Shout out to the man.
1:01:37
Nathan is in here, the PR manager, the man himself.
1:01:42
But you, it's been a whole hell of a 365 days and looking
1:01:47
forward to another 365 with y'all.
1:01:50
Yeah, it's I've definitely been appreciative of all you guys are
1:01:52
bringing me in eight years ago and seeing all different people
1:01:56
come and go with this network too, but always supporting me
1:01:58
and always helping me out with everything on the on the show
1:02:02
and throughout the network as well.
1:02:03
And all the guys that have been coming and going on this show as
1:02:06
well. Fish you bring brought a new new
1:02:08
vibe since you joined the show back in January of 2024 and
1:02:11
you've done a lot of great things.
1:02:13
Tommy. You've been always a the social
1:02:15
media guy, fun guy to talk with offset a lot of the time even
1:02:18
before Jabba you came along and Jabba reaching out to you for
1:02:21
the first time as a guest. I reached out to a lot of
1:02:22
different Yankees and first time you ever had you in the show.
1:02:25
You were a tremendous storyteller and and reached out
1:02:28
at the time with the Yankees playoffs and obviously we built
1:02:31
something very nice and Nathan as well and Nick Goody, Nathan
1:02:34
with. Goody.
1:02:35
That. Shout out to Goody.
1:02:37
Yeah, Goody, Goody. The first time we had him on the
1:02:39
show, it was funny. It was actually the first week
1:02:42
we had Sylvester Williams on the show last year too.
1:02:43
It was also the same week we had Goody on the same day and, and
1:02:46
Goody Goody. I remember Goody because he came
1:02:48
in 10 minutes early. I never saw a guest come in that
1:02:50
early ever. And he was so fired up.
1:02:52
He was so funny and always brought that good vibes.
1:02:54
And of course, Nathan is our PR guy doing some great things.
1:02:57
All this event planning, all that stuff.
1:02:59
Fantastic. And shout out to all the fans,
1:03:00
all the ones I've met in person, all the ones I have it in person
1:03:02
for supporting what we do. Here, I don't want to say
1:03:04
something else before I go to drop a Chamberlain.
1:03:07
I didn't think this was going to work.
1:03:09
I didn't all right, I did. I'm going to be honest with you,
1:03:13
I didn't think it was going to work, but it's been a fun ride
1:03:16
and it's going to be a fun ride in 2026 because I I feel like
1:03:21
we've built a good, good vibe and a good relationship.
1:03:25
We have our differences at everything that we do, but
1:03:27
that's what partners usually do. But I, I've grown to understand
1:03:33
who you are as a person, not just as an athlete that I
1:03:36
followed as a kid and or like to watch you throw a ball.
1:03:40
I, I, I like throwing pitches at you and I'm sure you like to
1:03:44
throw jabs at me, but I, I feel like we've built something and
1:03:47
we're, we're building something that could be something really,
1:03:51
really special. And I think fans, and I say this
1:03:55
with with love and compassion, if if it wasn't for the people
1:04:00
that understand what we're trying to do here, we wouldn't
1:04:02
be here. So thank you to all of you guys.
1:04:05
Anyways, that's it, Good night. Thank all of you, appreciate it
1:04:09
well. 2026 here we come, it means.
