  All right boys, March Madness was in full effect this weekend
• 0:11
  as the first and 2nd rounds of the Big Dance came and went with
• 0:15
  some explosive upsets, the defending champs being knocked
• 0:18
  off, couple of buzzer beaters, and plenty of hopeful brackets
• 0:22
  busted and thrown into the dustbin of gambling history.
• 0:26
  We recap each region and breakdown all of the exciting
• 0:29
  acts of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament tonight and
• 0:34
  after we crack a six pack with speedy and preview next
• 0:37

  trend setting and undeniable live in your face edition of New

  York's sports loudmouth. The Mets lose their star play.
• 1:12
  They lose their star closer. The Mets are in a bad spot right
• 1:16
  now. I've.
• 1:22
  Never seen a Ranger team quick before the Olympics.
• 1:24
  We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he
• 1:27
  can't win the big game, Michael Jordan said.
• 1:29
  I played 82 games. You don't see LeBron doing that,
• 1:33
  but Jack Hughes did. After getting his team knocked
• 1:35
  out to play every single shift, he got back in
• 2:57
  New York sports loud mouth show. This is the money shot come.
• 3:02
  On man, this is this is the future of basketball.
• 3:04
  OK, This is entertainment. Don't hate to play it.
• 3:06
  Hate the game now? The freak show candidate.
• 3:08
  With your host Errol Marx and Co host Beanie Peanie.
• 3:13
  With ex NFL defensive lineman from the New York Jets, Quinton
• 3:17
  Cobo. Quinton Cobo.
• 3:20
  Welcome everybody to a new show of the New York Sports
• 3:25

• 3:36
  throughout the week including York Sports Loudmouth every

  All you have to do to tune in and check out our local listings
• 3:43
  for all our shows is go to our website at
• 3:45
  www.worldwidesportsradio.com. I just want to let everybody
• 3:49
  knows know this, this is a new show.
• 3:52
  We have a new partner in this show and on this show and his
• 3:56
  name is Quinton Couples. Quinton, How are you doing, my
• 3:58
  friend? What's going on?
• 4:00
  What's the deal, man? We here, we did it.
• 4:02
  Well, we did, I guess, if that's what you call it.
• 4:05
  We're going to get this thing right tight for the fairs and
• 4:08
  we're going to get put on a good show.
• 4:10
  We've had a really good week in sports.
• 4:13
  March Madness is here, we're going to the Sweet 16.
• 4:17
  Saint John's is still in it, UConn still in it.
• 4:19
  So there's a lot of good here in New York.
• 4:22
  So all the fans out there, I know Hofstra and Liu didn't make
• 4:25
  it, but we didn't expect Liu to beat Arizona and we did not
• 4:29
  expect Hofstra to beat Alabama, except Fish.
• 4:32
  For some reason, Fish had Hofstra beating Alabama.
• 4:35
  Alabama right now is one of the hottest teams and hottest
• 4:38
  shooting teams in the tournament.
• 4:40
  They're shooting more 3 point shots than we've ever seen.
• 4:43
  I think this is the first time I think I, I, I, I don't know the
• 4:46
  numbers right now. I think that Alabama has hit
• 4:50
  more threes in the first two rounds than any team in history.
• 4:54
  So it could, it could, but also one of their players are sitting
• 4:59
  in jail. Their second best player is
• 5:00
  sitting in jail right now and it hasn't haunted them.
• 5:03
  It's made them play better as a team.
• 5:05
  So very, very fun and very this is the best time of year for a
• 5:09
  sports better because you you just can't calculate.
• 5:13
  You can't honestly choose from one team to another on where
• 5:16
  they're going to go, how everything's going to fall.
• 5:19
  It's all lock. Everything with the bracket is
• 5:22
  lock. And that's what we're watching
• 5:23
  right now. There are teams are surprises.
• 5:25
  Vanderbilt gets knocked out. We're going to get into that in
• 5:27
  just a few moments. So there's a lot to get into
• 5:30
  with March Madness and a lot of things that are going on in the
• 5:33
  NBA. Luka Doncic is one of the
• 5:35
  hottest players in basketball right now.
• 5:37
  The Lakers are playing great and and LeBron James his whole take
• 5:42
  a couple of weeks ago stating that the Lakers are not a
• 5:45
  championship contending team. They don't have enough to win a
• 5:47
  championship. Well is he going to eat his
• 5:49
  words? Is he going to take back what he
• 5:51
  said? Who knows, that's not LeBron
• 5:53
  James's nature. I expect LeBron James to keep
• 5:55
  spinning out garbage as he always does and pissing people
• 5:59
  off. So that's a whole nother story.
• 6:01
  But again, as a sports fan, you would only suggest to think that
• 6:07
  our guy in the New York Knicks and, and again, the New York
• 6:10
  Knicks are a team of a lot of questions.
• 6:14
  Everybody thinks that it's Carl Anthony Towns saying and, and
• 6:17
  Carl Anthony Towns has played better basketball, but he they
• 6:19
  think that he's a cancer in the locker room and Jalen Bronson
• 6:23
  should not be the lead guy. He shouldn't be the number one
• 6:25
  guy there. Point guard shouldn't be the
• 6:27
  number one guy on a roster. But I don't understand that Shay
• 6:30
  Alexander is the number one guy. So I, I, I see the takes, all of
• 6:33
  the social media, everybody's attacking it, but I, I just, I
• 6:37
  don't get it. This has become a, a guard
• 6:39
  league and the NBA has transitioned from a big man's
• 6:43
  league to a guard league. So I, I've listened to all the
• 6:46
  different takes on different social medias and, and, and
• 6:49
  different shows. And I don't get it.
• 6:51
  I, I don't understand why they're getting into this
• 6:54
  argument that guards cannot be, you cannot build your team, you
• 6:58
  can't build your NBA team around a guard that, that makes no
• 7:01
  sense. But again, that stuff that we're
• 7:03
  going to get into throughout the show.
• 7:06
  But first things 1st at 9:00, we will be talking to former
• 7:10
  Jaguars, Broncos and Cowboys defensive end Jeremy Mincey.
• 7:13
  He'll be joining us. He's been on our show before.
• 7:15
  I know that Quint Quinton is a very good friend of Jeremy
• 7:20
  Mincey. So we're going to get so for the
• 7:22
  first show for Quinton Couples, first show, Q's first show.
• 7:27
  Come on. We're going to have Jeremy
• 7:28
  Mincey on the show, so I'm sure they have some stories.
• 7:31
  I'm sure they'll have some arguments on some of the takes
• 7:33
  that I'm going to spit at them and and it's it's going to be
• 7:37
  fun. So, you know, put your pampers
• 7:40
  on, make sure you have some wipeys or dude wipes, as Jabba
• 7:44
  would say. And if you need to wipe
• 7:46
  something, wipe it and enjoy the show.
• 7:48
  We're going to entertain you guys tonight as we're going to
• 7:51
  get into some NCAA basketball. In the East Regional of the 2026
• 7:58
  NCAA Tournament, the number one seed Duke blew out TCU 81 to 58
• 8:04
  and will now face the #5 seed St.
• 8:07
  John's who beat Kansas on a buzzer beater by Dylan Darling.
• 8:12
  Yes, it was fantastic. 6765 and they'll now face off in the
• 8:18
  Sweet 16 #3 Michigan State beat Louisville 7769 and Yukon #2
• 8:25
  Yukon beat #7 UCLA 7357 in the other Easter East Regional and
• 8:32
  now they will face off in the Sweet 16 In the South region #3
• 8:37
  Illinois blew out the number 11, VCU 76 to 55 and #2 Houston blew
• 8:44
  out the number 10 seed Texas A&M 88 to 57 and will now face off
• 8:50
  again in the Sweet 16. In the other South regional #4
• 8:56
  Nebraska moves on after beating #5 Vanderbilt on a game-winning
• 9:00
  shot by Braden Fringer with 2.2 seconds with two points 2
• 9:06
  seconds left of the game. They will take on number #9
• 9:10
  Iowa, who defeated defending champion #1 Florida 73 to 72 on
• 9:16
  a game-winning three pointer by Al Figaris with a 4.5 with 4.5
• 9:22
  seconds left of the game. In the Midwest, Regional number
• 9:25
  one seed Michigan beat #9 Saint Louis and #4 seed Alabama to
• 9:31
  beat #5 seed Texas Tech in a blowout fashion and will now
• 9:37
  face off in the Sweet 16 #6 Tennessee upset #3 Virginia 79
• 9:43
  to 72 and #2 Iowa State blew out number seven Kentucky 82 to 60
• 9:49
  three and they will face off in the Midwest.
• 9:53
  Other Midwest. Other Sweet 16 match up in the
• 9:57
  West #1 Arizona beat #9 Utah, Utah State 78 to 66 and will
• 10:04
  take on #4 Arkansas after they beat high point in a high
• 10:09
  scoring thriller 94 to 88. And the other W Sweet 16 match
• 10:14
  up will feature the number 11 Texas who is who is the the only
• 10:21
  double digit seed in the Sweet 16.
• 10:24
  After they beat Gonzaga 74 to 68, they will take on #2 Purdue
• 10:29
  who beat #7 seed Miami 79 to 69. You guys are crazy when you put
• 10:35
  this and post this up. I I think the Sweet 16 has been
• 10:39
  fun to watch. There's been a lot of blowouts
• 10:42
  that the game that really stuck out to me because we're here in
• 10:46
  New York is the St. John's game, the St.
• 10:49
  John's game really, and, and, and the Nebraska game was very
• 10:53
  fun. And it, it, it exposed a lot
• 10:55
  about what Nebraska has done this year and why Nebraska is
• 10:59
  here and why Nebraska is heading to their first Sweet 16 in, in
• 11:03
  best in their basketball history.
• 11:05
  Because if you look at Nebraska, Nebraska's known for their
• 11:08
  football. They're not known for their
• 11:09
  basketball. But here's the thing, St.
• 11:13
  John's had a sensational game. They had a sensational game
• 11:18
  plan. Rick Pitino couldn't get a lot
• 11:20
  from Dylan Darling all game. He couldn't hit a lick.
• 11:23
  He missed almost every single shot and he was not confident I
• 11:27
  as far as getting getting to the basket and shooting in a sweet
• 11:31
  spot all game long. And at the end of the game, when
• 11:35
  Pitino needed to call a time out and he was trying to figure out
• 11:38
  who's going to get the ball, who's going to shoot the final
• 11:40
  shot. Dilling Darling, who has been a
• 11:43
  darling for this team all season long, one of the better point
• 11:45
  guard defenders in the league in the in the in his conference, in
• 11:49
  East Conference and throughout the NCAA.
• 11:53
  He was he was a guy that put his hand up and said, coach, give me
• 11:56
  a chance. I'm I'm, I'm going to take the
• 11:58
  play. And coach thought Pitino thought
• 12:00
  that he was out of his mind that he had no shot.
• 12:03
  And and I, I wouldn't have gone to the non hot hand.
• 12:06
  But what's crazy about college basket?
• 12:08
  What's crazy about basketball is when a team doesn't expect the
• 12:12
  non hot hand to get the ball. You want to give that kid the
• 12:15
  ball. And Dylan Darling has been good
• 12:17
  all season long. He's been a good team leader.
• 12:20
  He is a lefty, usually goes up most of the time with his layups
• 12:24
  with his left hand. But he drove to the hole and he
• 12:28
  he had an opening. Nobody was back really defending
• 12:31
  him on the backside and he went up for a layup and hit the shot
• 12:34
  and and shot the world. Because Kansas all game long was
• 12:38
  playing chase. They were playing chase the
• 12:40
  whole game from the first half all the way into the
• 12:42
  second-half. Then he went on A164 run.
• 12:46
  Peterson started playing decent basketball.
• 12:48
  Was Peterson good? No, Peterson was not a guy that
• 12:52
  you would expect to be a number one talent, the number one pick
• 12:55
  in this year's draft after what we saw against Saint John's.
• 12:58
  Now, that doesn't mean that Dylan that Darren Peterson is
• 13:01
  not going to be the the number one pick in this year's draft
• 13:05
  because he has the talent, he has the ability, he can shoot
• 13:08
  the three. He can do a lot of those things
• 13:10
  that you want an elite player to do as your number one pick.
• 13:15
  But after what AG Tabanza did, even though they got knocked
• 13:18
  out, BYU got knocked out in the first round.
• 13:19
  He played very well in that game, even though we couldn't
• 13:22
  hit a lick at the three-point line.
• 13:24
  And then Camp Boozer, he's been up and down in this tournament,
• 13:27
  but guess what? Duke is still going to the Sweet
• 13:30
  16 and one of the main reasons why they're going to the Sweet
• 13:33
  16 is because of camp Boozer. Now it all takes.
• 13:37
  You need a team to take you all the way to the championship, to
• 13:39
  the promised land. We all know that.
• 13:42
  But guess what? Who was the number one pick last
• 13:44
  year? Cooper flag.
• 13:45
  Cooper Flegg played as well as I'll say this, Cooper Flegg was
• 13:51
  a little bit better in certain in in the round, in the round of
• 13:54
  what was it 64 and 32, he played better than Cambuser.
• 14:00
  What what's going to sell us Cambuser?
• 14:02
  What's going to make Cambuser a top end pick, maybe the number
• 14:06
  one pick in this class is he's going to have to show up in
• 14:08
  these big games. He's got Saint John's, he's
• 14:10
  going to have to show up in that game.
• 14:11
  He's going to have to put up a 25 spot.
• 14:13
  He's going to have to rebound. He's got to be a big player in
• 14:17
  that game if they expect to be Pitino's team.
• 14:19
  Pitino came out and said after the game, pretty much said we're
• 14:23
  going, we're playing Duke now and I don't want, we're going
• 14:26
  to. I owe, I owe, I owe him
• 14:28
  something after what Christian Leitner did to me in the 90s.
• 14:32
  Now, I don't know if anybody remembers in Kentucky, Pitino
• 14:36
  was coaching Kentucky. He was coaching the Wildcats and
• 14:40
  Coach K was coaching the Duke Blue Devils.
• 14:43
  And this was the time where you had Bobby Hurley, Grant Hill,
• 14:47
  and and obviously Christian Leitner, who is one of the
• 14:50
  greatest college basketball players of all time.
• 14:52
  And you heard what Pitino said at the press conference.
• 14:55
  He says, well, I've got, I've got, I owe them.
• 14:57
  I owe them a favor and and that to me says a lot about this game
• 15:02
  for St. John's.
• 15:03
  Now, a lot of the experts have St.
• 15:05
  John's knocking off the Duke Blue Devils.
• 15:08
  A lot of them do. But Duke to me from top to
• 15:13
  bottom, even with the injuries that they have, have the talent,
• 15:18
  they have the number one guy. And if you're going to, you're
• 15:21
  going to counteract what the Saint, what the Saint John Storm
• 15:24
  have compared to the Duke Blue Devils.
• 15:27
  If if their top five plays against the Duke top five, I
• 15:30
  still think Duke is the they have the advantage in this game.
• 15:35
  But to go back, go ahead. I know you.
• 15:37
  You got something to say. No, terrible.
• 15:39
  That was terrible. No, no way.
• 15:40
  They have a better top five than St.
• 15:42
  John's. Yes, they do.
• 15:43
  Wow. Based off what school?
• 15:45
  What? Do you mean based on school?
• 15:47
  Like you just Duke Heavy or Duke Privy, you know, Duke Bias.
• 15:51
  I'm not. I'm not Duke bias at all, and I
• 15:53
  am a Duke fan, but that has nothing to do with bias.
• 15:56
  You're going to tell me. You're going to tell me.
• 15:58
  So you're going to tell me right now that the Duke Blue Devils
• 16:02
  with their lives as. Of now as of right now.
• 16:05
  As of right now, As of right now, you're going to tell me
• 16:08
  Saint John's has a better five than Duke does this.
• 16:11
  Is the reason why the all the all the experts are picking St.
• 16:13
  John's I? Don't care what the expert.
• 16:15
  Experts are always wrong. I'm an expert too that.
• 16:17
  Oh, yeah, you're an expert. Mel Kiper's an expert, too.
• 16:20
  How many times has he got him wrong on the as far as the NFL
• 16:22
  draft? So let's not get into what Mel.
• 16:24
  Kiper has done. All right, so So give me your
• 16:28
  take. What makes you think that the
• 16:31
  Saint John's or the Johnnies have a better starting five than
• 16:34
  the Duke Blue Devils? Just based off the tournament
• 16:37
  play now we looked at it and we've seen that they that the
• 16:41
  Duke Blue Devils are very stagnant on offense.
• 16:44
  They have potential to be scores or whatnot, but I think from St.
• 16:49
  John's perspective, they are way more athletic in regards to the
• 16:53
  half court sets. They're more athletic and able
• 16:56
  to actually rebound the ball better than do now stats, man.
• 17:00
  I said that, but I'm talking about in game.
• 17:03
  I didn't check the stats by the way.
• 17:04
  So that's why I don't know if I'm actually wrong about the
• 17:06
  rebounder, but based off the rebounding, which is the reason
• 17:09
  why they keep the St. John's is able to beat Casas
• 17:13
  with their rebounding if you go back and look at the game.
• 17:17
  Here's the thing and I you could go back and, and, and Saint
• 17:20
  John's is a big team. They're older roster.
• 17:23
  Pitino is a great coach, but and I'm not a big Shire fan.
• 17:27
  As a matter of fact, anybody that knows me, I have attacked
• 17:30
  Shire over and over and over again week after week.
• 17:33
  I don't think John Shire is a really good coach, but he's got
• 17:35
  a great roster. Even with the injuries that they
• 17:38
  have, the Duke Blue Devils have the best player in this game.
• 17:41
  Cam Boozer is by far the best player in this game and you
• 17:45
  can't even argue what what do. You mean out?
• 17:47
  Of rebounding, barring yes out of Saint Johns.
• 17:51
  I give you that, Yeah, Talent wise.
• 17:54
  And when you have a he. Also went off the rail while ago
• 17:56
  and said he was the number one pick.
• 17:57
  So which is another? Oh.
• 17:59
  Hold on one second. Hold on one second.
• 18:00
  How do you know he's not the number one pick?
• 18:02
  Oh, here's the thing. And I, we could get into that at
• 18:05
  another time because we got to go through these games.
• 18:07
  But for you to say that Kambusa can't be the number one pick,
• 18:10
  that's fine. If you, if everybody thinks that
• 18:12
  he's the 3rd or 4th pick, that's fine.
• 18:14
  You're going to make a mistake. Because if you, it's very
• 18:18
  simple. Peterson can't be controlled, AJ
• 18:20
  the Banza can't shoot a three pointer.
• 18:23
  And we've seen Kambusa do all of that.
• 18:25
  He doesn't. He doesn't go out there and
• 18:27
  throw his team under the bus. He plays hard every single game.
• 18:30
  No matter what. He plays hurt.
• 18:32
  He goes out there and he plays at a top level.
• 18:34
  That's the guy I want to draft. I want to go.
• 18:36
  I want to go with a guy that I know is going to be healthy.
• 18:39
  He's going to go out there and play his heart out like his
• 18:41
  father did. Now, I'm not saying he's Carlos
• 18:44
  Boozer. What you're laughing at, you're.
• 18:46
  You're not in GM They so it's it's it's a.
• 18:49
  Bias. So what I'm trying?
• 18:51
  To tell you is that they're the NBA is not picking based off
• 18:55
  reliability, they're picking up potential.
• 18:58
  OK. Does he have the potential to be
• 19:00
  XYZ? Does he meet the metrics of XYZ?
• 19:03
  So you're saying that he need to develop a three portion, agent
• 19:06
  need to develop a three. That can happen.
• 19:09
  They can do that. You know, they pay coaches to
• 19:10
  develop players in the NBA, Yeah.
• 19:13
  Quite so he. Could very much develop that.
• 19:15
  They don't have to come in with that.
• 19:17
  OK, so Kwame Brown remember him? Yes, I remember him.
• 19:21
  He was a great athlete and high school phenomenon.
• 19:24
  He didn't have a three-point shot and Michael Jordan drafted
• 19:27
  him, took a whim on him and said, yeah, you know what, I
• 19:30
  like him. I I think he I can, I can build
• 19:32
  my roster around him. I can build.
• 19:33
  He'll figure it out. He'll figure out a shoot a
• 19:35
  three. How long was he in the NBA short
• 19:38
  term compared to what he was supposed to be?
• 19:42
  Exactly? And and to me, you need to
• 19:45
  develop a three-point shot before you get into the NBA.
• 19:48
  It's very hard to figure it out when you're playing in an NBA.
• 19:52
  Pace, the speed of the game, it's different.
• 19:54
  And we have seen him enough and I've watched him enough and AJ
• 19:59
  Dabanza that he is going to have a problem shooting the three in
• 20:01
  the NBA. He's going to, he's going to
• 20:03
  work on athletic ability and that doesn't always work.
• 20:06
  Now there is guys like Giannis. That have built his game on
• 20:10
  athletic ability, but the game is changing now these big men
• 20:13
  are shooting the three at a very high clip.
• 20:16
  And if you don't have that shot and you haven't developed a shot
• 20:21
  yet going into the NBA, what makes you think in a 5 or 6 year
• 20:25
  span he's just going to be a good three-point shooter shooter
• 20:28
  in the NBAI just would you? Take Giannis.
• 20:31
  Would you take Giannis with the number one pick?
• 20:33
  Right now. Yeah, what you with Giannis
• 20:36
  talent? No.
• 20:41
  What are? You laughing at?
• 20:42
  No. What are you laughing at?
• 20:44
  No. Listen, listen, listen, listen.
• 20:48
  Giannis, there's a lot of Giannises now.
• 20:50
  That's why I'm saying that there are a lot of Giannises now.
• 20:52
  Athletically gifted guys that are long.
• 20:55
  There are guys. What do you mean?
• 20:56
  Who? Nikola Yokich.
• 20:58
  Nikola Yokich? Webbiyama.
• 21:00
  What are you talking about? Webbiyama?
• 21:02
  He's another one. These these guys are
• 21:04
  athletically gifted. How are they different?
• 21:07
  How are they different? They're both big men, right?
• 21:09
  Stop plays. Giannis is downhill, Whimby is
• 21:13
  he's working on being a three-point shooter and and a
• 21:16
  defender working. He has a three-point shot.
• 21:18
  As a as a pass first but can't score center and.
• 21:21
  Shoots the three almost at 40%. Yeah, but they play at, Again,
• 21:27
  we're looking at athletically gifted players.
• 21:29
  Kevin Garnett was athletically gifted when he came out of high
• 21:31
  school. Absolutely.
• 21:33
  OK. And if you want to compare the
• 21:35
  Banza to somebody, you would compare him and I would compare
• 21:39
  him somewhere around Kevin Garnett.
• 21:41
  That's the kind of player that I would compare him to.
• 21:44
  But here's the thing. Kevin Garnett's strength was his
• 21:46
  defense. Is the bands strength his
• 21:48
  defense? No.
• 21:50
  And in a game in the NBA, in the transition of the NBA game, if
• 21:53
  you can't defend a specific position and you can't shoot the
• 21:57
  three, you're limited. And that's what AJ Dabanza is.
• 22:01
  I'm not saying AJ Dabanza is not going to be a great player in
• 22:03
  the league. I think he's going to be great.
• 22:05
  I think Peterson's going to be great.
• 22:06
  I think Wilson's going to be great.
• 22:09
  I think Cam Boozer's going to be great.
• 22:12
  All four of these guys, even Flemings, if he get, if he gets
• 22:15
  put or he gets drafted by the right team and the right coach
• 22:18
  and the right development, Fleming develops a shot.
• 22:22
  No question. That kid could be a star in the
• 22:24
  league just like the Spider is. Right.
• 22:26
  So you give him development, but you won't give AJ development.
• 22:29
  It's very hard to develop a three-point shot at his size in
• 22:34
  the NBA when Colby. Offseason away What?
• 22:37
  Do you mean 1 offseason? One development he don't have to
• 22:41
  be great at the three-point shooter.
• 22:43
  Now you do. Now you do.
• 22:45
  No, you do. Yes, because if you become
• 22:47
  one-dimensional, teams are going to figure them.
• 22:49
  Out Giannis won the championship.
• 22:51
  Here's the problem with Giannis when teams started to figure him
• 22:53
  out like the Celtics win. Like yeah, team started with
• 22:57
  Miami that. Has the best when.
• 22:59
  You become a one-dimensional player when it comes to the big
• 23:03
  game, especially throughout the playoffs.
• 23:05
  You're not the same player. OK, now tell me how many
• 23:09
  defenders we have in the league. How many defenders?
• 23:11
  I don't know. You want me to count them?
• 23:13
  Yeah. I can't count them on the head.
• 23:15
  I I there's not a. Lot of people defending.
• 23:17
  The Knicks have about 3 guys on the team that could defend
• 23:20
  multiple positions. Josh Hart.
• 23:22
  Mikhail Bridges, OJ and an Obi, Those three guys could defend
• 23:27
  multiple positions. What are you?
• 23:29
  You going to tell me Mikhail Bridges is not an all around
• 23:33
  defender? He's a great defender.
• 23:36
  He could defend multiple positions.
• 23:37
  He's a good defender. I would say he's a top 15
• 23:40
  defender in the league. That tells you a lot.
• 23:43
  That's what I'm trying to tell you.
• 23:44
  But that's what I'm telling you about AJ Dependzo, so.
• 23:47
  You, you need AJ. You said AJ needed to defend.
• 23:51
  I'm saying, I'm saying. If you don't have it, he still
• 23:54
  gets his numbers. Why are all?
• 23:56
  That matters. My argument here is when teams,
• 23:59
  especially NBA coaches, figure out his strengths and his
• 24:03
  weaknesses, they're going to take the game over against him.
• 24:08
  They're going to defend him in ways where he is uncomfortable
• 24:11
  in certain positions. He is a athletically gifted kid.
• 24:14
  There's no question that he is. So we're half these NBA players.
• 24:18
  But when you come into the NBA with the best of the best guys
• 24:21
  that can jump like a deer and kangaroo, whatever the hell you
• 24:25
  want, and I can run up and down the court within 7 or 8 steps,
• 24:29
  there are guys. Russell Westbrook, I mean, when
• 24:31
  he was a young player, he was one of the fastest guys in the
• 24:34
  NBA. They athletically gifted.
• 24:37
  But did I make Russell Westbrook the best player in the NBA at
• 24:40
  his position? No, it didn't.
• 24:43
  Now that's what I'm looking at. You look at camp Boozer, you're
• 24:46
  looking at camp Boozer. And everybody looking out camp
• 24:49
  Boozer, they say, well, he's a little overweight.
• 24:51
  He's 6 foot 8, he's undersized. How does this work?
• 24:55
  Depending on where he goes, it works a lot.
• 24:58
  You're telling me right now if you went to in Indiana and he
• 25:01
  played with Halliburton, if he were, if he goes, he's Utah's
• 25:05
  not drafting him. Utah's not drafting.
• 25:09
  They're already. They're already taking.
• 25:11
  Danny Ainge always drafts the athletically guys, the athletic
• 25:14
  guys. He always does, plus the.
• 25:16
  NBA is going to punish them for taking.
• 25:17
  If if Utah goes #1 Utah's drafting to Bansa.
• 25:22
  Why not booze it though? Because he's the better?
• 25:24
  Because. He's not.
• 25:25
  Yes he is. The better all around talent he
• 25:27
  does, he's got the better. I think he's.
• 25:29
  Got you saying that they not saying.
• 25:31
  First of all, who do you think has a better post game, him or
• 25:34
  Dabanza? Post game, post game, I don't
• 25:39
  get booze at that. OK, who's got a better 1718 foot
• 25:42
  jumper? I get AJ that.
• 25:45
  AJ does not have a better 17. 18 foot jumper he.
• 25:48
  Doesn't he? Doesn't.
• 25:49
  He, he, he. He's not.
• 25:51
  That's not his go to but. That's not his, that's not his
• 25:54
  game. That's Boozer's game.
• 25:56
  Yeah, Floater, you know, yeah. Well, that's he uses his again,
• 26:00
  that goes back to athletic gifts.
• 26:02
  To me, Pearson has the most that.
• 26:04
  Got to be considered. Are we not going to consider
• 26:06
  athletic gifts? No, because.
• 26:08
  That's one. Gift.
• 26:09
  That's one gift. That's not everything.
• 26:12
  You're going to tell me who's a better defender?
• 26:15
  Boozer and Dubanza. Better defender, better.
• 26:18
  Defender, who's your Debanza? They're focused on defense.
• 26:22
  I'm. Asking.
• 26:23
  I'm asking it was a one O 1. I'll take AJ over there.
• 26:27
  So wait a second. So you're going to tell me?
• 26:29
  That. Has nothing.
• 26:31
  One O 1 doesn't mean anything. It's 10 basketball Q This isn't
• 26:34
  football. You're not out there.
• 26:36
  It can. Happen.
• 26:37
  Come on, they're. Not just want to send a double
• 26:39
  to you every time. What are we talking about?
• 26:41
  They haven't earned that right. Q.
• 26:42
  If you're going to tell me right now, when you look at all these
• 26:45
  guys gifts, Peterson has the most, Peterson has the most, but
• 26:48
  his teams going to teams, are our teams going to actually have
• 26:52
  to deal with that kid on and off the court?
• 26:54
  He doesn't get along with people.
• 26:55
  He he's proven that he didn't get along with some of his
• 26:57
  teammates coaching at the coaching staff.
• 27:00
  How many times did we we hear that the coaching staff wanted
• 27:03
  him to go into the game and he says there's no need for me to
• 27:05
  go into the game. Is he going to do that into the
• 27:08
  is he going to do that in the NBA?
• 27:10
  No, he wouldn't do that in the NBA.
• 27:11
  Why not? There's a reason to play he.
• 27:13
  Thinks he's the best player on that roster.
• 27:15
  Right when you get paid to play all right, so.
• 27:18
  You're telling me so you're telling. 2nd, 2nd.
• 27:20
  It's a job in the profession, so you can't walk out and think
• 27:24
  that you're better than everybody now.
• 27:25
  James Harden, did you? Wouldn't have no data.
• 27:27
  James Harden did. James Harden also averaged 54 a
• 27:31
  month. 50. Four a month.
• 27:35
  When? James Harding.
• 27:36
  When James. Harden.
• 27:39
  When James Harding came into the League, he was the he wasn't
• 27:43
  even Batman or Robin. He was like Supergirl, OK, he
• 27:46
  was Supergirl, he was Supergirl. But he thought he was the number
• 27:50
  one guy. He said I was a number one guy.
• 27:53
  No, he didn't. He was a six man.
• 27:55
  He didn't prove it until he went to Houston and it took him a
• 27:58
  year to prove it. OK, but at the time, At the
• 28:01
  time, but again. But.
• 28:03
  James Harden had a great shot. He played for Arizona State.
• 28:08
  James Harden was a good shooter. Yes.
• 28:11
  Dabanza is not. He's not a good shooter.
• 28:14
  He's not. I'm not.
• 28:15
  Saying he is I, I, I think he gets his numbers, he gets his
• 28:18
  points. That's fine because he's played.
• 28:22
  Even though the game has developed conference.
• 28:24
  Did he play? A good shooter.
• 28:27
  OK, how? How good is the big the best?
• 28:29
  Conference this year for sure. OK.
• 28:31
  And who did he play that they beat?
• 28:32
  That was so so something to brag about.
• 28:36
  Who did he beat? Iowa State was his biggest
• 28:38
  performance and they are a good team.
• 28:39
  They're still in the tournament. They're a two seed right now.
• 28:41
  They're one of the best defensive teams and.
• 28:42
  What did he score in that game? I.
• 28:43
  Believe it was 42 if I remember correctly, and he had close to
• 28:46
  10 rebounds in that game, which against a defense that good is
• 28:49
  impressive. So because of one game, Iowa
• 28:53
  State. Because.
• 28:55
  Of one game? No, because of one game.
• 28:58
  And Iowa State, that's that's that's impressive because of one
• 29:03
  game. Here's here's here's.
• 29:06
  What's even more impressive? Versus the 2 seeds you're.
• 29:09
  You're that great of a player and and great players find ways
• 29:12
  to win, like LeBron James took at the Cavaliers all the way to
• 29:15
  the Finals against the Spurs. Did he take his team to the next
• 29:18
  round? Did he take his team to the
• 29:20
  round of 32? No, he didn't it.
• 29:21
  Doesn't matter what. Do you mean it doesn't matter?
• 29:23
  It means a lot. Well, I remember when Fish came
• 29:29
  on the show quite a few times and I want to get into these
• 29:31
  games first because I we could talk about this all show, but
• 29:35
  Fish came on this show. Fish has been on the show, you
• 29:38
  know, me and him have been arguing about this take.
• 29:40
  And he said Carlos Boozer, because of his his game and in
• 29:44
  the way he's played in the round of 64, right, and the round of
• 29:48
  32 that he might hurt himself when it comes to the draft.
• 29:53
  And I said, how do you figure? Kambusa right now to me is
• 29:56
  player of the year. Kambusa was the best all around
• 30:00
  player in all of college basketball all season long.
• 30:03
  When you look at what he has done, when you look at the pie,
• 30:07
  there's a pizza. How many slices are in a pie?
• 30:09
  There's 8, OK, not one game, Iowa State where everybody says,
• 30:14
  oh, he scored 42 and dead. Very impressive.
• 30:17
  Cam Boozer was doing it all year round against great. 42 and 10
• 30:22
  all year in there. He no, I'm saying he's, if
• 30:24
  you're going to tell me right now, Cam Boozer wasn't a better
• 30:26
  player than AJ Debanter all season long.
• 30:28
  And then you weren't watching college basketball because he
• 30:30
  walks. He.
• 30:31
  Walks what makes Shire's system. John Shire, as I could have
• 30:36
  assisted you, you're. Going to tell me that John
• 30:37
  Shire's system is better, Is that what you're trying to say?
• 30:41
  Because it's not, you're saying? It's a better system.
• 30:43
  It's. Not a better system, it's.
• 30:44
  Not a good system, even if it's a little better than BYU's
• 30:46
  coach, which it probably is, but not by much.
• 30:49
  Thank. You yeah, that's it's better.
• 30:51
  It's not better. It's better.
• 30:52
  Doesn't matter. Just by inch or mile, it's
• 30:55
  better. It's better, correct?
• 30:56
  It's not better and and you. Don't think Duke is in a has a
• 30:59
  better system than. No, I don't.
• 31:01
  No, I don't. I think.
• 31:02
  I think Duke has better talent. That's what I think.
• 31:06
  It's only ran by a system over there, no?
• 31:09
  It's talent. They're recruiting class.
• 31:12
  They're no, no, no, no, no. Come on.
• 31:14
  OK, come on, tell me where's. John Shire ranked among your
• 31:17
  best coaches in college the. Fact that they had John Shire, a
• 31:20
  top five coach in college basketball, going into this
• 31:22
  tournament made me want to throw up, OK.
• 31:25
  Because he's not. He's.
• 31:27
  Not he really isn't. And you're going to tell me
• 31:30
  right now it's the system. OK, so you're going to tell me
• 31:33
  that John Shire there is recruiting class this year,
• 31:36
  which three of the top three of the five top guys that he had
• 31:41
  that he recruited are we, I think they were top 10 or top 12
• 31:45
  players in the whole country. And you're going to tell me it's
• 31:48
  the system that has drawn these guys out to be a good team?
• 31:51
  It's not it's talent. Talent wins ball games, does it
• 31:55
  not? And if you're if you're going.
• 31:57
  To but this is the whole point about March Madness is because
• 32:01
  you're Sometimes your talent isn't enough and if you got a
• 32:04
  lot of. Codes and you got the right.
• 32:06
  System and you can possess the players to be successful then
• 32:09
  you can win you can actually wear games.
• 32:11
  OK, you know any? Sport you.
• 32:13
  Know Q and I got a comment what you said Errol, because you
• 32:16
  mentioned my comments on about Boozer and I love Boozer too and
• 32:19
  I'm pretty sure he's going to win national player of the year.
• 32:21
  He is the National Player of the Year.
• 32:23
  But so is Tyler Hansboro Once Upon a time, and he didn't have
• 32:26
  an NBA career and he plays the same position.
• 32:28
  Tyler Hansboro wasn't a top prospect coming out going into
• 32:32
  college. Why wasn't?
• 32:33
  He so he was a lottery pick. He wasn't like a North.
• 32:36
  Carolina, he was. North Carolina.
• 32:39
  I remember Tyler Hansboro. I remember when he he went to
• 32:41
  the national championship. I remember Tyler and and Tyler
• 32:45
  was nowhere close to the talent Cambuser was coming out of kind
• 32:48
  of coming out of high school, winning national state
• 32:51
  championships, being one of the most renowned players, being
• 32:56
  that his father is Carlos Booster.
• 32:57
  By the way, you mentioned Carlos Boozer before we came into the
• 33:00
  show. Q We've argued this, he's a way
• 33:02
  better player than Carlos Boozer was in college.
• 33:05
  That's. Hot Carlos.
• 33:08
  He tries to play like that though, you know, And against
• 33:11
  Sienna. Against Sienna.
• 33:14
  We're going to go. Into accolades we're.
• 33:16
  Going into one game, we're going into one game.
• 33:19
  It. Was around the 64 that I was
• 33:21
  talking about because I mean, they obviously dominated the
• 33:23
  next game, but Boozer had a couple of moments in that game
• 33:27
  that were like Ben Simmons esque as he was so.
• 33:30
  Does Luca? So.
• 33:32
  Does the NCAA? Tournaments.
• 33:33
  So does I like like 2 out of 3 possessions down court where it
• 33:37
  was like, what's going on with this guy?
• 33:39
  That's weird, Luca. That's what I'm just saying.
• 33:41
  You watch. You watch professional
• 33:44
  basketball. Jalen Bronson doesn't look
• 33:45
  against teams. Certain teams, he doesn't play
• 33:48
  well against them. The Celtics are one of those
• 33:50
  teams that play very well, play very well.
• 33:53
  Hold on, let me, let me, let me finish what I have to say.
• 33:56
  Let me finish what I have to say.
• 33:58
  You mention that what Sienna did to Cambuser was incredible.
• 34:02
  That's great. Cambuser still scored 24 points,
• 34:05
  he still averaged 13 rebounds, and he still hit 8 free throws
• 34:10
  at the tail end of the game to help his team win.
• 34:12
  So no matter what they did to him, he was a big part of the
• 34:15
  reason why they won that game. Now you mention what they did
• 34:19
  against him, that's fine. So let's go through all these
• 34:22
  different teams that some of these great players have played
• 34:24
  against. LeBron James has always had
• 34:26
  problems against the San Antonio Spurs.
• 34:27
  Go look at his numbers. He never played well against
• 34:30
  Greg Popovich's teams. Why?
• 34:32
  Because Greg Popovich had a good game plan on that, good game
• 34:35
  plan on him. And the same thing I would say
• 34:38
  about Sienna. You watch tape, you watch the
• 34:40
  way he plays, you're going to defend him on his strengths and
• 34:44
  try to beat him on his weaknesses.
• 34:45
  Now he is only going to develop that game part of his game
• 34:49
  because he already has a shot. He could still shoot a
• 34:51
  three-point shot, which he hit a a few of them in this tournament
• 34:54
  tournament and he could still shoot those 1817 and post game
• 34:58
  and dominate on the boards, which he's done in this
• 35:01
  tournament. So to sit here and I, this is
• 35:04
  what I hate about the the press in the media, Everybody goes
• 35:08
  back and forth. Well, then he doesn't have the
• 35:10
  athletic gifts that Peterson has.
• 35:12
  He doesn't have the athletic gifts that the Banza has.
• 35:15
  Well, guess what? You could be the most
• 35:17
  athletically gifted player. Who's the best player in the NBA
• 35:20
  right now? Nicola Jokic.
• 35:23
  Is he the most athletic player in the NBA?
• 35:26
  Please. He's probably the least athletic
• 35:28
  player in the NBA. He's the best passer.
• 35:30
  He's one of the best shooters. He's 1 of this.
• 35:32
  He's one of that. He's that.
• 35:34
  So to sit here and tell me. But here's the thing, He's in a
• 35:40
  system that allows that. You put Nicola Jokic and on the
• 35:44
  Utah Jazz. Is he doing the same numbers?
• 35:47
  No, but it doesn't mean he's individual.
• 35:49
  No, wait, hold on, hold on one second.
• 35:51
  Hold on one second. Hold on one second, hold on one
• 35:53
  second. So what did you say?
• 35:54
  What was that question? If you put Nicola Yokish at the
• 35:57
  in the at the Utah Jazz or the Washington Wizards, OK, does he
• 36:02
  have the same number? Absolutely.
• 36:04
  Absolutely. No way.
• 36:05
  Absolutely, Absolutely. Alright, alright, I'm gonna tell
• 36:09
  you why. Missing shots.
• 36:11
  I'm gonna tell you why. Exposed at a high level, I'm.
• 36:13
  Gonna tell you why they. Have Eric Gordon and they have
• 36:16
  they have that system around him benefits.
• 36:19
  OK, OK, so let me let me give you some throws that you don't
• 36:24
  maybe you don't watch when when I watch the Nuggets play, I have
• 36:27
  watched him play without Jamal Murray.
• 36:29
  I've seen him many, many times play without Porter and Aaron
• 36:33
  Gordon, all these guys, and he's still putting up a triple
• 36:35
  double. So you're going to tell me right
• 36:37
  now if you went to Utah where he's going to get more shots,
• 36:40
  more passes, more rebounds, he's not going to have a better a
• 36:44
  better number chart those. Those things don't happen like
• 36:48
  that no more. What are you talking about?
• 36:49
  It happens all the time around you.
• 36:51
  You don't have Jamal Murray, you don't have Gordon, you don't
• 36:55
  have these things. They're attributes.
• 36:56
  So can he do it when they're the guys get hurt or they step
• 37:00
  outside of a game? Yes, absolutely.
• 37:02
  That's what he's a superstar. So yes, he can do that.
• 37:05
  He can have a game or two you. Just said it.
• 37:07
  Could he do it in the system? So you're telling me, who is
• 37:12
  Jamal Murray on the Washington Wizards right now?
• 37:16
  What do you what do you mean? Who is Jamal Murray on?
• 37:18
  What talent, what level of talent do we have on the
• 37:20
  Washington Wizards right now? What talent?
• 37:23
  I mean. I guess it's.
• 37:25
  Strange on Davis, I mean, Davis, OK, they they have they have
• 37:31
  some good talent. They're just not playing this
• 37:33
  year because they want a high draft pick.
• 37:35
  But they Got Talent. The other. *.
• 37:38
  So who do you beat that they could beat if they didn't want a
• 37:40
  high draft pick? If they get, if they get one, if
• 37:44
  they get Camp Boozer or AJ the Banzer, you're talking about the
• 37:49
  Wizards. You asked me.
• 37:50
  You're asking me if they got one of these three guys, could they
• 37:54
  win? Could they automatically be a
• 37:55
  playoff team? Absolutely, 100%, a hundred
• 37:58
  percent, 100%. If if they get one of these
• 38:02
  three guys, they're automatically a playoff team.
• 38:05
  Based off what metric? What metric?
• 38:08
  Davis is a good all around big man.
• 38:10
  He is if he stays healthy. Anthony Davis is a good player,
• 38:14
  yeah. He's going to give you 20 and 10
• 38:16
  and Trey Young is going to give you 23 and probably 8 assists
• 38:20
  and seven rebounds with that team.
• 38:23
  And you have to Who fits? Better for the Wizards.
• 38:25
  Who fits better Who? Fits better for the Wizards.
• 38:28
  Who fits better for the Wizards? I would.
• 38:31
  I would think AJ Dabanza would fit better with the Wizards.
• 38:34
  With the Wizards, yeah, I do. I'll tell you.
• 38:37
  Do you want me Because Trey Young is a three-point shooter,
• 38:40
  Anthony Davis is a rebounder. He's a perimeter guy that goes
• 38:43
  in and you need an athletically got an athletic guy that you can
• 38:46
  you can put him on the three, you can put him on the four.
• 38:48
  You can move him around because he's so athletic.
• 38:50
  He could do a lot of things around the perimeter that you
• 38:53
  want a star to do and and and be a good rebounder, which he's a
• 38:57
  good rebounder. Him and Anthony Davis would be
• 38:59
  dominant under the basket. So I would think the Banzer
• 39:03
  would fit better with the Wizards.
• 39:05
  I with Boozer, Boozer fits better with a lot of teams.
• 39:10
  He would fit very well. And I'm I'm being serious.
• 39:13
  If if you look at Indiana, they're they're and he would fit
• 39:16
  very well with them. The Pelicans.
• 39:18
  He would fit very well over there too.
• 39:19
  No, why not? He would fit well with Indiana
• 39:23
  for sure. Pelicans.
• 39:23
  No. Why?
• 39:24
  Not it's a. Graveyard site?
• 39:25
  Why not? It's a graveyard site.
• 39:27
  Him and Zion. Zion will.
• 39:32
  They'll trade Zion. They both trade Zion.
• 39:35
  They're going to trade Zion. Franchise player, they're going
• 39:38
  to trade him. They they tried to trade him
• 39:40
  last year, they tried to trade him last year.
• 39:43
  They're going to move him. Well, until we see different,
• 39:46
  then we got to go they're. Going to move him for a point
• 39:48
  guard. They're going to bring a point
• 39:50
  guard in that's going to be able to play with Cam.
• 39:52
  And if not, what they'll do, especially if Kaden goes into
• 39:56
  the draft this year, he'll be a second round draft pick.
• 39:58
  They'll just draft his brother. That's what they'll do.
• 40:01
  That's what the Pelicans are going to do if whoever drafts
• 40:04
  Cam Boozer and if Kaden goes into the draft.
• 40:06
  He's not a first round talent. Whoever drafts Cam is drafting
• 40:10
  Kaden. If he goes into this year's
• 40:12
  draft, you could book it that. There's no doubt in my mind
• 40:16
  that's the route they're going. To go the the inside is that
• 40:21
  they wore 2 heads on the team on the roster I.
• 40:23
  Just I'm telling you that's what's going to.
• 40:25
  Happen just the same for all all all all teams.
• 40:28
  Well, I want to go through the tournament.
• 40:30
  I, I, we, we made an argument. I want to go through these games
• 40:33
  because that's why we're here. And the St.
• 40:35
  John's game, the St. John's game was Dylan darling
• 40:38
  was the darling. And he's really been the darling
• 40:40
  of this team all season long. He's been the backbone of this
• 40:43
  team. You saw when he hit that layup
• 40:45
  at the end of the game, how the players came to him.
• 40:47
  And, and even when they interviewed him, he said, I knew
• 40:49
  I had it in me. I knew I had it in me.
• 40:52
  I haven't been hitting a shot all game long, but I knew when I
• 40:56
  when we were out there and the coach was asking us who wants
• 40:58
  the shot, he says I want to take the shot.
• 41:00
  And the coach looked at me, Rick or whatever coach looked at me
• 41:03
  and said, you haven't had a shot all game.
• 41:05
  And he says I, I, I believe I have the ability to get that
• 41:09
  shot off. And he did.
• 41:10
  He got the shot off with his right hand.
• 41:11
  That was what was so impressive about Dylan Darling.
• 41:14
  He's a left-handed shooter. He usually goes up with his left
• 41:17
  hand. And Pitino said at the end of
• 41:19
  the game, he says he never goes up with his right.
• 41:21
  So when he went up with his right, I was, you know, I was
• 41:23
  shocked. But when it went in, I was like,
• 41:26
  you know, I was ecstatic. So it was it was fun to watch
• 41:31
  Pitino and his reaction. I have never seen Rick Pitino
• 41:35
  over the years, the coaching with Louisville and Kentucky,
• 41:39
  all the great things that he has done, national championships
• 41:42
  that he's won. I've never seen him react like
• 41:45
  that. Never, never see him jump high
• 41:48
  and, and smile and laugh and, and, and it was just so
• 41:51
  exciting. And they just, they just got
• 41:53
  into the Sweet 16. This is the first sweet, Sweet
• 41:56
  16. What was it?
• 41:58
  Appearance. No, not even appearance.
• 42:01
  What's the word? I had it stuck in my head.
• 42:02
  But I, I, I'll figure it out. But this is the first time
• 42:06
  they've been in the Sweet 16 for almost it's almost been 20
• 42:09
  years, maybe more than that. It's been a long, long time
• 42:12
  since St. John's.
• 42:13
  St. John's has had an opportunity to
• 42:15
  play for a national championship because usually you got to get
• 42:18
  into the Sweet 16 to get into the lead 8 and lead 8 to the
• 42:21
  Final Four and to that championship and now they have
• 42:23
  their spot. Last year, Pitino thought that
• 42:26
  that team was good enough to at least get into the Sweet 16.
• 42:29
  Arkansas was the team that beat St.
• 42:31
  John's last year, and now Arkansas has an opportunity to
• 42:35
  move Fawn and and who they matched up against.
• 42:38
  Arizona. Arizona and Arizona, which is
• 42:40
  Fish's favorite and a lot of people's favorite to win the
• 42:43
  tournament. Arkansas to me and I I'll say
• 42:46
  this, this is the first game Arkansas played.
• 42:51
  Who did? I'm sorry, who did Arkansas play
• 42:52
  they? Just played high, points high.
• 42:54
  Point Martin And who's the other kid from Arkansas?
• 42:58
  Acuff. This is the first time that two
• 43:02
  players scored 30 points on opposing teams in the same game
• 43:07
  since 1980. Seven, 1987 was that was This is
• 43:12
  the first time that's ever happened, ever happened in an
• 43:17
  NCAA March Madness game. Think about that.
• 43:20
  That's over 30 years ago, 30 years ago.
• 43:26
  And Darius Acuff, if he decides to come out of this year's
• 43:30
  draft, is moving up in the lottery.
• 43:32
  He he could he could get into the lottery for the if he
• 43:36
  continues to play this way and if Arkansas could move on
• 43:39
  against Arizona and he's the reason why you're talking about.
• 43:44
  And we've seen players move up in the draft now, right now
• 43:47
  going into this year's class, he wasn't a top ten pick.
• 43:52
  He's probably in the teens, I would say 1516.
• 43:56
  But after the game that he just had against high point and high
• 43:59
  point's a good defending team. They're a good team.
• 44:02
  And and Arkansas looked very, very tired in the game.
• 44:05
  They were very, very tired. It looked like what they were
• 44:08
  playing on fumes and that maybe because of their championship
• 44:12
  run and all that other stuff. Arkansas and and and you got to
• 44:16
  give John Calipari a little bit of credit because John Calipari
• 44:21
  for years has always gotten the top recruits from Kentucky,
• 44:25
  always been favored to go into the Final Four or a national
• 44:29
  championship. Nerlens know well, we go through
• 44:32
  it. Anthony Davis, all these guys
• 44:34
  that he has coached and Matt, you know, and obviously Cousins
• 44:39
  called John Wall, all these guys.
• 44:42
  These guys became superstars in the NBA, great players in the
• 44:44
  NBA. He coached these guys and he got
• 44:48
  them to the promised land. He got them to the championship
• 44:50
  game and they had to win it. John Calipari, what he's done in
• 44:54
  the last two years, taking this team, Arkansas, not just once
• 44:59
  but twice to the Sweet 16 is absolutely incredible.
• 45:04
  This is a this was a bad program.
• 45:08
  This was a program that barely got into the tournament over the
• 45:11
  last couple of years and now back-to-back years and they just
• 45:15
  snuck into the tournament last year.
• 45:17
  What were they, 10 seed I? Believe they were 9.
• 45:21
  They, they, and I thought they were valued higher than they
• 45:24
  should have been last year. And the way they and they beat
• 45:28
  St. John's, one of the better teams
• 45:30
  all season long, defensively sound and they completely
• 45:33
  crushed him on the boards offensively in that game.
• 45:37
  This game, High Point had a chance.
• 45:41
  They had a chance. And that's the thing.
• 45:44
  Now everybody says, well, High Point's not Arizona.
• 45:46
  Well, what does that mean? If a cuff has a game like that
• 45:49
  and they're getting timely shooting and they can hit their
• 45:53
  free throws, there's no doubt in my mind.
• 45:55
  And they're a good rebounding team.
• 45:57
  Arkansas, they're a big, strong team.
• 46:00
  Arizona's had problems against big teams.
• 46:03
  They've always had problems against big teams.
• 46:07
  So you're going against Arkansas, a very, very respected
• 46:11
  coach in college basketball and even in the NBA.
• 46:15
  New York native. I'll tell you this about John
• 46:18
  Calipari. He's not going to go in this go
• 46:21
  into a game where he's looking at Arizona and he's scared of
• 46:24
  them. He's going to go into this game.
• 46:26
  They've got time. They've got four games.
• 46:28
  They have four days off before they have to play.
• 46:30
  I think they play on Thursday. That's more than enough time to
• 46:35
  get this team healthy and ready to play against an Arizona team.
• 46:38
  Yeah, they look they it's really been an easy run all the way to
• 46:42
  the Sweet 16 for them. But now it's going to get hard.
• 46:45
  They got to play Arkansas and then they might have to play
• 46:47
  Purdue. And Purdue is playing great
• 46:50
  basketball right now. Arkansas is playing good
• 46:53
  basketball right now. And I'm going to tell you right
• 46:55
  now, if there's any team that I believe speedy Arizona should be
• 46:59
  afraid of, it is Arkansas. And.
• 47:01
  I had that upset with Arkansas and because I know Jean Kalapari
• 47:04
  can slow that pace down if he has to, he could play fast with
• 47:08
  this team. This is not a traditional
• 47:09
  Kentucky type team that Arkansas has.
• 47:11
  They're they're playing a lot faster.
• 47:12
  They had to do that to play High Point because High Point plays a
• 47:14
  very fast-paced game. They shoot a lot of threes and
• 47:17
  they had to keep up with them for a while and Econ was
• 47:18
  obviously up to the challenge. He's going to be a top ten pick
• 47:20
  for a reason as well. You.
• 47:21
  Think he's a top ten pick now? He looks like he's going to be
• 47:24
  and because. Before the tournament, they said
• 47:25
  there was. No guarantees.
• 47:26
  Yes, he. Was a teen type.
• 47:28
  He was a. Fringe one, I think he's really
• 47:29
  elevating his stock a little more.
• 47:31
  I think Tennessee's kid with a mint got a little more hype at
• 47:33
  the time. Obviously the kid, the kids on
• 47:35
  Arizona, they're going to get a lot of hype and like you said,
• 47:37
  the international ones are going to get a lot of hype.
• 47:38
  So there wasn't they're. Saying the first international
• 47:41
  player in this year's class could fall all the way to 16 or
• 47:44
  17. Yeah, it's it's definitely
• 47:46
  possible and performances like this are going to are going to
• 47:48
  highlight that. And I'm curious if Arkansas's
• 47:51
  defense will be able to adjust because there Arizona's going to
• 47:53
  play a lot of different types of paces because they have great
• 47:56
  size and depth with everything. And obviously Barry's the kid,
• 47:58
  they have it because he's really good at shooting the three ball
• 48:00
  as well. And they showed that in the
• 48:02
  second-half against Utah State. They struggled in the beginning
• 48:04
  of that game with Utah State because Utah State had a defense
• 48:07
  that was playing well and contesting a lot of those shots,
• 48:09
  but Arizona eventually pulled away.
• 48:11
  But like you said, Arkansas can definitely play that type of
• 48:14
  style as well and do what makes them scary as well is they're
• 48:18
  finding that defense they had in previous year.
• 48:20
  This was a more offensive centric Purdue team and they
• 48:22
  held Miami to just 69 points, forcing a lot of bad shots.
• 48:25
  They had one big run at the end of the first half of Miami and
• 48:27
  that was really it. And Purdue, this is the best
• 48:30
  offensive team that they've had in Matt Painter's time there.
• 48:33
  And that's a scary thing. I had Gonzaga, I was wrong on
• 48:36
  that. They were just terrible the
• 48:37
  whole game. Texas.
• 48:38
  I told you about Gonzaga. I told you about Gonzaga.
• 48:41
  I don't trust that team. They don't play well as they go
• 48:44
  deeper into the tournament. Yeah, this was their first time
• 48:48
  out of the Sweet 16 since 2014. And, and to me, and that, that
• 48:51
  says a lot about the team and, and the way they recruit
• 48:53
  players. They like to keep players for a
• 48:55
  significant amount of time and they work themselves in as, as
• 48:59
  they become juniors and sophomores into juniors and then
• 49:02
  into seniors. The Gonzaga is a team.
• 49:05
  And, and again going into that game, and I'll say this about
• 49:08
  Gonzaga, I, I, I like Gonzaga. I, I do.
• 49:11
  But Texas, what they did in the game and in Texas throughout the
• 49:14
  tournament, especially in the first round, I was worried about
• 49:17
  Texas. Texas did not play well in the
• 49:19
  first round. They did not, but really at the
• 49:22
  tail end of the season, especially their season, Ted,
• 49:26
  there was a lot of questions. Could they get enough offense?
• 49:28
  That's why they were ranked. They were eleven seed Texas
• 49:31
  early in the season. They were playing good
• 49:32
  basketball and they kind of fell off.
• 49:34
  They lost a lot of bad games and they have a tremendous amount of
• 49:38
  offensive talent on that team. And what they needed to do
• 49:41
  against Gonzaga is they needed to control the boards and they
• 49:44
  needed to shoot and that's what they did against Gonzaga.
• 49:46
  Gonzaga had no answers. No answers for Texas in that
• 49:50
  game. I watched bits and pieces of
• 49:51
  that game game, and I knew that Texas was going to run away with
• 49:54
  the game. And.
• 49:55
  And they did. Even though the game looked
• 49:57
  close, it wasn't even close. Yeah.
• 49:58
  Because I always take a lot of bad shots.
• 50:00
  Texas was forcing them very well.
• 50:01
  Like you said, I was worried about Texas size against
• 50:04
  Gonzaga. There's a lot of size and a good
• 50:05
  experience. But they definitely out
• 50:07
  rebounded him and that's a big thing for them if they're going
• 50:09
  to have to play Purdue because Purdue has cloughed that big
• 50:12
  man. It's 7 for one.
• 50:14
  I believe they. Always have a big.
• 50:16
  Yeah, they always do, but it's weird.
• 50:17
  Again, it's more offensive, efficient team for Purdue this
• 50:19
  year, so it might be a good formula of everything.
• 50:21
  Now, that being said, they still can't take it for granted the
• 50:23
  way the Texas played. And they got a good coach too.
• 50:25
  And Sean Miller, like obviously Calipari is the best coach in
• 50:28
  that region. Then you're looking at probably
• 50:29
  2 next similar level coaches right there with Sean Miller and
• 50:32
  Matt Painter, who's been pretty good for a while, but both of
• 50:34
  them have trouble getting in the Final Four.
• 50:35
  That's where they're stuck. And obviously Purdue did two
• 50:37
  years. Coaching is the most important
• 50:39
  when it comes to this tournament.
• 50:40
  Everybody says it's talent and it's not.
• 50:42
  It's coaching. Look at John Shire.
• 50:44
  Look what happened last year in the Final Four.
• 50:47
  There was 2 minutes left. He couldn't get the ball in.
• 50:50
  He could not get the ball in. How many, many time outs he
• 50:52
  couldn't get that ball in and that cost them.
• 50:54
  Remember, they were up by 10 points with a minute and 30
• 50:58
  seconds left. How does the team come back?
• 50:59
  How does the Houston team that really is not known for their
• 51:02
  offense come back the way they did against the Duke Blue
• 51:05
  Devils, who absolutely outplayed them that whole game?
• 51:08
  Absolutely. So again, it comes to coaching,
• 51:12
  especially in these important games.
• 51:14
  Calipari, Pitino, Hurley, all these guys that we mentioned,
• 51:19
  not John Shire, guys, I'm not putting him there until John
• 51:22
  Shire tells me he can win the big game and shows me that he
• 51:24
  can win the big game. I don't believe and I'm going to
• 51:26
  sell. I'm going to tell everybody out
• 51:28
  there that watches college basketball religiously more than
• 51:30
  I do. I will say this, you could be a
• 51:33
  Duke Blue Devil fan. You could be a North Carolina
• 51:35
  fan. It, you can't lie to yourself,
• 51:39
  Hubert Davis is going to lose his job.
• 51:42
  He doesn't belong there at North Carolina.
• 51:44
  He got the job because he was a North Carolina native and the
• 51:48
  the committee loved him and they thought, hey, this guy was an
• 51:52
  NBA player, successful NBA player.
• 51:54
  He worked on, he worked as an assistant coach on North
• 51:58
  Carolina for many, many years and he deserved the opportunity.
• 52:01
  Same thing with John Shire. But here's the problem.
• 52:04
  And I have a story that I put out today.
• 52:06
  Well, Speedy put it out for me on comparing John Shire to JJ
• 52:10
  Redick. And how did JJ Reddick get his
• 52:13
  job, LeBron James? And how did Shire get his job,
• 52:17
  Coach K? And if you compare what these
• 52:20
  guys have done in professional in the NBA and the NCAA, they're
• 52:25
  both failures. What has in two years, what has
• 52:28
  JJ Reddick done? What has he produced?
• 52:31
  Nothing. And what is he producing?
• 52:33
  What, He's on a 10 game-winning streak and Luka Doncic is hot
• 52:36
  and LeBron James and him are playing well.
• 52:38
  That's what's going to sell that.
• 52:39
  That's going to tell me that they're going to be an NBA
• 52:41
  champion this year. I'm not trusting JJ Redick.
• 52:44
  And as far as coach Shire, it don't matter if they get to the
• 52:47
  Elite 8 like I think they are. Shire is not a good play in
• 52:52
  coach. He's not X's and O's.
• 52:55
  I'm betting against Shire if he's playing UConn and Danny
• 52:58
  Hurley. If Danny Early moves out and so
• 53:00
  does Shire and Duke move on and they match up in the Elite Eight
• 53:03
  against UConn, they don't have a chance.
• 53:06
  And you're seeing that kind of thing with adjustments with
• 53:08
  these veteran coaches in other regions as well.
• 53:10
  When I was worried about Houston with their offense.
• 53:12
  And I think I think match up wise when they play Texas AM
• 53:14
  they cared to everything Texas A&M did in the last game and
• 53:17
  their coach didn't adjust. Calvin Sampson was the complete
• 53:19
  opposite. Made sure that they were
• 53:21
  comfortable with the offense that they played too.
• 53:23
  And same kind of thing with Michigan State.
• 53:24
  I had Louisville winning that game because I like the way that
• 53:26
  their depth was in that. And Qi know you're being a North
• 53:29
  Carolina fan, you've probably seen some of Louisville and
• 53:31
  their new style in the ACC and Michigan State had a style that
• 53:34
  seemed very old school. But Tom Izzo was able to adjust
• 53:37
  and get them comfortable in terms of shooting.
• 53:39
  Freeze getting the free throw line enough in that game and now
• 53:41
  they'll be taking on, like you said, UConn in that next round
• 53:44
  who played, didn't play great that whole game so struggled.
• 53:47
  That was a back and forth game until really the end, but a big
• 53:49
  takeover with that I'm not. Worried about UConn?
• 53:51
  I'm really not worried. I'm not worried about UConn.
• 53:54
  I'm not. U Conn It's weird because it was
• 53:56
  Reid that dominated all in the first game.
• 53:58
  It was really lopsided comparatively.
• 54:00
  Like it's a little more Dallas ever you see with Hurley teams,
• 54:02
  but Hurley is one of those coaches you can trust to be able
• 54:04
  to get that. We've seen this.
• 54:06
  Before, when they won national championships, when they won
• 54:08
  back-to-back national championships, there were games
• 54:11
  that the games were so close you were biting your nails all the
• 54:13
  way to the end of the game. I trust Danny Hurley on the way
• 54:17
  he coaches and the way he has built his teams to find a way to
• 54:21
  win. Pitino still has to prove that
• 54:23
  with Saint John's he did it. He did it in the last round with
• 54:27
  Darling and that was to me, it was very impressive what Darling
• 54:31
  did because he couldn't have shot the whole game.
• 54:33
  Dylan Darling did not have shot the whole game.
• 54:36
  I think he was oh for like 8. He was one in five well.
• 54:40
  One in five, whatever. So he was O and he was O for
• 54:42
  five or O for four. And then he he he decides to
• 54:46
  take the shot at the end of the game.
• 54:48
  Well, Pitino obviously say, OK, take the shot because there's no
• 54:52
  way he would have, he would have went up and and took the shot if
• 54:54
  Pitino didn't say that he could. So I to me that was impressive.
• 54:59
  But I want to see him do it against an elite team, do it
• 55:01
  against Duke if you could do it against.
• 55:03
  Duke. Yeah, I think he's going to do
• 55:05
  it. OK, how much you want to bet?
• 55:08
  Whatever. All right, let's bet.
• 55:11
  I don't know why. How are you a Duke fan but still
• 55:12
  hate the coach? No.
• 55:14
  Everybody asked me that same question and it's a it's a very
• 55:18
  it's a very easy question and I'm going to give you an easy
• 55:21
  answer. John Shire has always been the
• 55:24
  other guy on that roster. Even when he won a national
• 55:27
  championship, everybody's like, well, he was a good shooter.
• 55:29
  He did he did it. So was JJ Redick and what did he
• 55:32
  win? OK, I don't want to hear it.
• 55:34
  That's why I made a story. I had a story about behind both
• 55:36
  of these guys. They're all coach gay guys and
• 55:39
  and both of them were handed the keys to a a nice Lamborghini.
• 55:43
  OK, that's what it is. The Lakers are are the probably
• 55:47
  the most respected NBA team in NBA history.
• 55:50
  And right now you can argue your point.
• 55:52
  The Duke Blue Devils are probably the biggest in college
• 55:55
  basketball in the last 40 years, so, and probably the most hated,
• 55:59
  just like the Lakers. Now you have two Duke Blue
• 56:01
  Devils running those, those teams, 11 that's run running a
• 56:05
  college team, the other one's running an NBA team.
• 56:08
  And they're both failures. David what?
• 56:10
  Nothing. Nothing everybody brags about.
• 56:12
  Well, Luke, what JJ Redick's doing right now and Luke,
• 56:14
  LeBron, the only reason why he has his job because of LeBron
• 56:17
  James. That's the facts.
• 56:19
  So you telling me he didn't go through the hiring process at
• 56:21
  all? No, not really.
• 56:23
  No, no. What evidence?
• 56:26
  You have in it. I don't need evidence.
• 56:28
  I'm telling you what happened. Got to.
• 56:29
  Have to have. So you're going to tell me right
• 56:32
  now? You're going to tell me right
• 56:34
  now, first of all. LeBron stepped him, but he was
• 56:36
  Danny. Hurley was going to get the job.
• 56:39
  Danny Hurley was going to get the job, but they didn't want to
• 56:41
  pay him 20 something, $1,000,000.
• 56:43
  He wanted 20 something, $1,000,000 to leave UConn.
• 56:46
  He was not going to leave. He was not going to leave UConn
• 56:49
  unless he was getting that kind of money and be the highest paid
• 56:51
  coach in the NBA. They weren't giving it to him.
• 56:54
  So then they were they were they put all their.
• 56:57
  They. Put all their eggs in that
• 56:59
  basket. They thought they were getting
• 57:01
  Danny Hurley because Danny Hurley went to visit them not
• 57:03
  once but twice, and they thought he was going.
• 57:06
  They were going to seal the deal and they were going to close in
• 57:08
  on a contract. He said no.
• 57:10
  OK. Then all the coaches were hired.
• 57:13
  After that, everybody went somewhere.
• 57:15
  So who did they have the lead to?
• 57:16
  They went to LeBron James. Who do you want to be coached
• 57:18
  by? Because there was nobody.
• 57:20
  There was no Luca on that team. Luca wasn't on that team.
• 57:25
  Mark Jackson hasn't been hired since he got fired from Golden
• 57:27
  State. Jeff Van Gundy has never been
• 57:31
  hired since he left Houston. Since he's left Houston.
• 57:35
  But it just shows there. Was no process.
• 57:38
  He was the only one available that LeBron James wanted to be
• 57:42
  coached by there again, if it was Luca, if Luca was there at
• 57:45
  on that roster, no way in hell JJ Redick gets hired and I'm
• 57:49
  going to tell you this right now, no matter how good, no
• 57:51
  matter how good they play throughout the playoffs, when
• 57:53
  LeBron leaves next year, so will JJ Reddick.
• 57:57
  You could book it. You could sell that and wrap it
• 57:59
  up like a nice Christmas gift. Who are they going to get?
• 58:02
  I don't know, but it's not going to be JJ Reddick.
• 58:04
  It's going to be what Luka Doncic wants, maybe.
• 58:06
  Jason Cat if he gets fired from. Dallas, no doubt about it.
• 58:11
  I'm telling you right now, you can book it.
• 58:13
  They're, they're taking everything right now besides
• 58:16
  flag and. How about how about the Nebraska
• 58:18
  game? Oh yeah, how?
• 58:19
  About the Nebraska game, I I haven't reached out to Jabba.
• 58:22
  I have not reached out to Jabba yet because I know his son's
• 58:25
  best friend plays for Nebraska and I call him the Cornholes.
• 58:32
  No, they were shooting a lot like that in that game.
• 58:34
  Oh boy, oh boy were they putting on a clinic.
• 58:37
  They really were. And Vanderbilt, they had a
• 58:40
  chance at the end of the game to hit that shot and it looked like
• 58:42
  it was going in. It looked like it was going to
• 58:44
  roll right in. And it reminds me of a team
• 58:49
  Coach Stevens was coaching. Remember that?
• 58:51
  And it was against Duke in a national championship.
• 58:53
  Do you remember who shot that ball?
• 58:55
  Gordon. Hayward, Gordon Hayward.
• 58:57
  Hayward. Who was The Who is another
• 59:00
  Celtic, if you remember? Failure over there with the
• 59:03
  Celtics because it can stay healthy, Yeah.
• 59:05
  I hurt his first game, yeah. But I mean, that's what it
• 59:08
  reminded me as and, and that came failure.
• 59:14
  He he was a failure with the the Celtics.
• 59:16
  They paid him a lot of money. What did he do?
• 59:18
  He. Got hurt, he.
• 59:20
  Got hurt and he got a lot of money.
• 59:21
  Got $140 million. Hey listen, if I could get hurt
• 59:24
  and win, win myself a lottery of 140. $1,000,000.
• 59:29
  They're paid, period. This isn't that.
• 59:32
  Paid off this. Isn't the NFL.
• 59:34
  This is not the NFL, buddy. You're guaranteed.
• 59:39
  You can't predict the future, you think they want to get hurt
• 59:42
  so you get paid based off your production, what you already
• 59:45
  proving to them and what they expect you.
• 59:47
  To do so, he produced over there in what was it, Utah.
• 59:51
  OK, so he produced in Utah. So you know what?
• 59:53
  Danny Ainges loved him so much he gave him $148 million.
• 59:58
  Get out of here. You're on drugs.
• 1:00:01
  Yeah. You know what the hell it goes?
• 1:00:02
  It goes that Danny Ainge is a complete moron.
• 1:00:05
  He made a mistake and just paid some.
• 1:00:07
  Somebody $148 million for nothing, that's what he did.
• 1:00:10
  I can't stand Danny Ainge so. No.
• 1:00:13
  No way. No.
• 1:00:13
  It's written all over your face. Yeah, well, thank you.
• 1:00:16
  If you want me, if you want me to be a clown, I can do that
• 1:00:18
  too. Anyways, the go back to the
• 1:00:20
  Nebraska game. I, I was so impressed with
• 1:00:23
  Nebraska throughout this game and throughout the tournament.
• 1:00:26
  A team that was a number four seed.
• 1:00:29
  Some people thought they were ranked a little too high.
• 1:00:31
  I was one of them. I thought they were more of a, a
• 1:00:33
  six seed. That's what I thought they were.
• 1:00:35
  They played sensational basketball all season long, but
• 1:00:38
  at the tail end of the season, they were up and down there.
• 1:00:41
  There were games that they should have pulled off and they
• 1:00:44
  didn't pull off. And then going against
• 1:00:46
  Vanderbilt, Vanderbilt was a, a favorite team, a team that a lot
• 1:00:49
  of people thought could have gotten into the Elite 8, maybe
• 1:00:51
  beat Houston, maybe get into the Final Four.
• 1:00:53
  I mean, they have all the, they have everything to, to, to win.
• 1:00:58
  I mean, as far as defense is concerned and rebounding and
• 1:01:01
  scoring, they got it and they're very well coached, very well
• 1:01:04
  coached. But to watch Nebraska put on a
• 1:01:07
  clinic, especially in the second-half, the way they shot
• 1:01:09
  the ball was very, very impressive.
• 1:01:11
  It really was. And the game was back and forth.
• 1:01:14
  It it was just this was probably besides the Saint John games
• 1:01:17
  because everybody in New York was watching the Saint John's
• 1:01:20
  game, but the the Saint John's game.
• 1:01:22
  But this game was probably the best all around game so far this
• 1:01:27
  tournament. Yeah.
• 1:01:28
  It's battle tested that the big a lot of these big 10 teams are
• 1:01:30
  showing. Then Nebraska, the reason why
• 1:01:33
  they kind of slipped at the end of the season was a lot of their
• 1:01:35
  conference play. They struggled in and that's why
• 1:01:37
  I think they were projected 3 seed for a while then fell to a
• 1:01:39
  four seed. I agree with you.
• 1:01:40
  I was thinking they're going to be a five seed originally, but
• 1:01:42
  they still lived up to a Vanderbilt started slow and I
• 1:01:46
  think they're offensive. Steven in the first game they
• 1:01:47
  struggled with McNeese. They really started slow and
• 1:01:50
  they had to get a big run even to get back into the game.
• 1:01:52
  Nebraska played a very complete game the whole time and they
• 1:01:54
  have a coach and Fred Hoiberg that has a lot of tournament
• 1:01:56
  experience, a lot of negative experience with Iowa State.
• 1:01:58
  But tournament experiences. You're getting your second wind,
• 1:02:00
  I guess, getting that team to go and they played with a lot of
• 1:02:03
  three-point shooting. They hit a lot of tough shots.
• 1:02:05
  This is a really good team that is playing like they did at the
• 1:02:07
  beginning of the season. Vanderbilt, I thought they I had
• 1:02:09
  them in the Final Four because they've experienced good size
• 1:02:12
  and played good competition. I was just beating Florida and
• 1:02:14
  then they just got caught. How?
• 1:02:15
  About How about the story of Hoiberg and his son?
• 1:02:18
  Yeah, going to the Sweet 16. He's a great passer.
• 1:02:21
  Like he they really he they moved that offense really
• 1:02:23
  effectively against a team in Vanderbilt has a good perimeter
• 1:02:25
  defense a. Lot of people were questioning
• 1:02:27
  his son and why he made this team and why he made this
• 1:02:30
  roster. And he has proved himself
• 1:02:32
  throughout this tournament to be a very important factor to this
• 1:02:35
  team success. And, and Hoiberg, who I, I think
• 1:02:39
  is, is still a coach that's figuring things out and, and
• 1:02:43
  slowly but surely getting this team to play the game that he
• 1:02:46
  wanted them to play last year and, and kind of fell short for
• 1:02:49
  the tournament. Now you're seeing all the, all
• 1:02:52
  the ability that this team has in the, the, the perception is,
• 1:02:56
  is that this team going in and moving into the next round and
• 1:02:59
  who they're matched up against in the next round, which is Iowa
• 1:03:04
  and Iowa, who is is been, and I'll say this, Iowa was
• 1:03:07
  sensational. They were sensational throughout
• 1:03:11
  their game and they can def, they could defend, they can
• 1:03:13
  score, they can do everything. Iowa sensational watch and Iowa
• 1:03:17
  might be one of the most dangerous teams in this
• 1:03:19
  tournament. Still, they, they, I, I, I could
• 1:03:22
  see Iowa going to the Final Four if they can, if they can
• 1:03:25
  continue to play at this pace and the way they're playing,
• 1:03:27
  they could beat any team in this tournament.
• 1:03:30
  And I and I, I love the way that some of these games really have
• 1:03:35
  gone, even though they're a lot of them have been blowouts, like
• 1:03:37
  the Kentucky game, that was an absolute Iowa State.
• 1:03:40
  What Iowa State did against Kentucky was just absolutely
• 1:03:44
  appalling. In Kentucky, who's been always a
• 1:03:46
  good recruiting school and ever since John Calipari left them, I
• 1:03:49
  don't know what's going on with that program.
• 1:03:51
  That program is not good. Yet they're still one of the
• 1:03:53
  highest funded teams in the SEC. Well.
• 1:03:55
  Of course, because they've been one of the most known
• 1:03:58
  commodities over here in college, like basketball.
• 1:04:01
  When you think of college basketball, who do you think of?
• 1:04:04
  You think of Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky.
• 1:04:07
  Those are the three schools. Those are the three basketball
• 1:04:11
  schools that have been on top of the world.
• 1:04:13
  And those are the teams. And then you have in the Indiana
• 1:04:15
  Hoosiers. I mean, there are teams that
• 1:04:18
  they're not a football school even though they won a national
• 1:04:20
  championship, but they're more, they're more known for their
• 1:04:23
  basketball. Wisconsin is also a very good
• 1:04:25
  basketball school. Kansas, too, is another good
• 1:04:28
  school with Bob Sells, Bill Sells or Bob Sell Self.
• 1:04:32
  Bill Self. I'm sorry, Bill Self, but I
• 1:04:35
  think that obviously what we watch, and also Alabama, it's
• 1:04:38
  been very impressive what Alabama has done.
• 1:04:40
  Yeah, I was. Going to say their coach in Nate
• 1:04:42
  Oates is probably the best one left.
• 1:04:44
  Maybe that maybe besides Calvin Sampson that hasn't won a
• 1:04:46
  championship yet. Alabama had like the 11th
• 1:04:50
  highest budget in the SEC for basketball and they are a Sweet
• 1:04:53
  16 team and kind of thought of as a team in transition this
• 1:04:56
  year. Still good, but not the same
• 1:04:57
  level of the powerhouses that you saw with Florida and
• 1:04:59
  Vanderbilt. Even Tennessee and down here,
• 1:05:01
  too, and they were very impressive against Virginia, had
• 1:05:04
  more money than them. And they put together a team
• 1:05:07
  that went to the Sweet 16 and they look scary too on offense.
• 1:05:10
  They're the number one scoring team in the country now.
• 1:05:12
  They can play defense, too, to go along with that.
• 1:05:14
  They're definitely a scary one. Iowa State, like you said, a
• 1:05:16
  scary one that now they play face.
• 1:05:17
  Tennessee, Tennessee, two really good defensive teams in that
• 1:05:20
  battle. And they played dominate on
• 1:05:22
  Kentucky the whole game in Kentucky's budget.
• 1:05:24
  Yeah, it looks really bad right now.
• 1:05:25
  I'm telling you right now, you watch out for Iowa.
• 1:05:27
  They they hit that game-winning shot against Florida.
• 1:05:29
  They knocked off the number one seed.
• 1:05:30
  They can be very, very dangerous.
• 1:05:32
  They are confident. They believe that they can beat
• 1:05:34
  anybody in this tournament. You heard after the game,
• 1:05:37
  especially when they were speaking to the media, how
• 1:05:40
  confident they are. I'm telling you this, that's all
• 1:05:42
  you need. You not you not go for number
• 1:05:44
  one seed. You, you have the confidence all
• 1:05:45
  the way to a national championship.
• 1:05:47
  So that's all you need is that little, little kick in the ass.
• 1:05:51
  And and that's what we've seen in this tournament.
• 1:05:53
  It's been a lot of blowouts and, and by the way, Virginia, that
• 1:05:57
  was embarrassing. Virginia has been a good
• 1:06:00
  basketball school and and a great defensive school for many,
• 1:06:04
  many years. Really didn't have offense.
• 1:06:05
  This year was the first year that I could say they, they had
• 1:06:08
  a dual type of team. They can shoot, they can score,
• 1:06:11
  they can defend, they could do everything and rebound and do
• 1:06:13
  what. But after losing against Duke in
• 1:06:17
  the ACC championship with the two injuries that Duke had, the
• 1:06:21
  two major injuries that Duke had and losing that way, I, I just
• 1:06:25
  think they lost a lot of confidence.
• 1:06:27
  Virginia was not confident going into this tournament.
• 1:06:30
  And, and you saw it, Virginia playing a Tennessee team that
• 1:06:33
  they were better than they're better than Tennessee.
• 1:06:35
  And Tennessee scored. They were they were playing
• 1:06:40
  above the game the whole game. They and then Virginia came back
• 1:06:43
  at the tail end of the game. They they, they they fought back
• 1:06:47
  into the game and finally got the lead.
• 1:06:48
  They got a one point lead and then what happens?
• 1:06:51
  They choked again. They could not defend and it
• 1:06:53
  could not rebound. The offensive rebounding from
• 1:06:57
  just completely from Tennessee would just dominate.
• 1:07:01
  They just dominated the boards. They did everything they needed
• 1:07:04
  to do to win that game, and Tennessee isn't.
• 1:07:06
  Who do they match up against next?
• 1:07:07
  Now that now gets Iowa State. Those are two really good.
• 1:07:09
  Defensive teams. I, I think Iowa State's going to
• 1:07:12
  blow them out. I think Iowa State's going to
• 1:07:14
  blow Tennessee out. I I just, you watch.
• 1:07:18
  Iowa State's going to blow Tennessee out.
• 1:07:20
  Tennessee is a team. How?
• 1:07:20
  Much. Let's mark it down right now.
• 1:07:22
  How? Much you want to bet, how much
• 1:07:24
  you want to bet? No, how much they're going to
• 1:07:26
  beat, they're going to blow them up. 7 or 8 you.
• 1:07:29
  Already lost 7. Eight points.
• 1:07:31
  All right, All right. Well, when St.
• 1:07:33
  John's losing against Duke, when St.
• 1:07:35
  John's loses against Duke and Iowa State beats Tennessee, I'm
• 1:07:39
  going to tell you I told you something.
• 1:07:40
  No, you said blowout, you didn't say beats.
• 1:07:42
  It depends on who's making shots in March all.
• 1:07:45
  Right, all right. I'm going to say Iowa State
• 1:07:47
  beats them by 7 or 8 points. That's a blowout.
• 1:07:51
  That's. A blowout in college basketball
• 1:07:52
  in in Sweet 16? Yes, that's a blowout.
• 1:07:57
  OK, that's a blowout. So.
• 1:07:58
  You got 7 to 8, we're going to clip it and we're going to bring
• 1:08:00
  that to bring that back up well. Who do you have?
• 1:08:03
  Who do you have winning Iowa State?
• 1:08:06
  I got Tennessee winning that one, OK.
• 1:08:08
  All right. And you have St.
• 1:08:09
  John's winning the other one. For sure.
• 1:08:12
  OK. So just the opposite.
• 1:08:13
  You know, I'm usually right. You usually.
• 1:08:14
  Yeah. OK.
• 1:08:15
  OK. Makes sense.
• 1:08:17
  I'll remember you said that. I'll remember, I remember you
• 1:08:19
  said that. So I'll be throwing curve balls
• 1:08:22
  at you after Thursday and Friday, my friend.
• 1:08:25
  But I, I, I will say this, Arizona has the has had the
• 1:08:29
  easiest, easiest way to the the Sweet 16.
• 1:08:33
  And they're going to, they're going to, they have Arkansas.
• 1:08:36
  And if they beat Arkansas, they still have to play it, whoever
• 1:08:38
  wins the Purdue game. But I think Purdue should win.
• 1:08:41
  I think they're matched up against Texas.
• 1:08:43
  They're matching with Texas now. Here's the thing though.
• 1:08:45
  If Texas does beat Purdue, it would be funny to see Sean
• 1:08:47
  Miller versus Arizona. Yeah, that's not going to
• 1:08:49
  happen. I don't think so either, but.
• 1:08:51
  I, I, I think it's going to be Purdue and whoever else comes
• 1:08:55
  out of the Arkansas and Arizona game.
• 1:08:57
  And I have the, I have the Boilers winning everything.
• 1:09:00
  I, I, I really do I, I, I think, I think they match up very well
• 1:09:04
  against Arizona. I think they match up very well
• 1:09:07
  against Arkansas. I and what they have done in
• 1:09:10
  this tournament, they've played consistent.
• 1:09:11
  They have been the most consistent team in this
• 1:09:14
  tournament. If you, if you're watching the
• 1:09:16
  tournament right now, what Smith is doing right now and he's
• 1:09:19
  going to be, he's going to be a first round draft pick.
• 1:09:22
  He's not going to be a high first round draft pick.
• 1:09:23
  He'll be a late first round draft pick.
• 1:09:25
  But I think Braden has proven himself to be an asset for an
• 1:09:30
  NBA team to look at him and, and, and be John Stockton type
• 1:09:34
  of player. I I think he's that kind of
• 1:09:36
  player. I think he could play that type
• 1:09:38
  of game in the NBA. He's not going to score a lot of
• 1:09:40
  points, but if he gives you 12 and 14, So what?
• 1:09:44
  So. What he might not be 6 foot
• 1:09:46
  tall, though he. He's 6 foot.
• 1:09:49
  He's considered 6 foot. He's considered 6 foot.
• 1:09:52
  There's a lot of guys who were considered 6 foot over the
• 1:09:54
  years, but they have to have elitist athleticism.
• 1:09:56
  The last though, don't you think?
• 1:09:58
  Mugsy Bogues, remember him? He had a lead 5 three guy.
• 1:10:04
  Mugsy Bogues is one of them I can name.
• 1:10:06
  Alan Iverson was. 6. Alan Iverson was six.
• 1:10:10
  What do you mean we're not in that era?
• 1:10:11
  Alan Iverson. Jayla.
• 1:10:13
  Brunson, Jayla Brunson is probably like 6-1 when I saw
• 1:10:17
  him. He's not that big.
• 1:10:19
  There's other guys. So he's saying Brunson 6162 and
• 1:10:23
  he doesn't play, you know, a super athletic game.
• 1:10:25
  He's a very crafty guy. You're right that you.
• 1:10:27
  Don't need to be athletic. If you're playing the point
• 1:10:29
  guard position, you don't need to be but.
• 1:10:31
  This guy's passed first, you know, like it would be like
• 1:10:34
  you're saying like a more like a Stockton, more like a Speedy,
• 1:10:37
  what would be like a modern He's a.
• 1:10:38
  Great defender too like. A pass first defense, first
• 1:10:42
  point guard like a mark is smart almost that just can't shoot or
• 1:10:45
  yeah I feel like it's a little better.
• 1:10:47
  Shoot might be closer. To that than John stock.
• 1:10:50
  Yeah, well, I mean, if that's the range, there's still a a
• 1:10:52
  usable player in the NBA. He is.
• 1:10:54
  Going to be an NBA at. 6 foot, I don't know if he goes in the
• 1:10:56
  first round even, even if he has a great tournament, you know.
• 1:11:00
  I can't. Each size.
• 1:11:02
  They they thought Zach Edie shouldn't be a first round draft
• 1:11:04
  pick and he was drafted pretty high so.
• 1:11:07
  Yeah, but he's 72, you know? Right.
• 1:11:09
  It's potential, I keep telling you that.
• 1:11:11
  Potential So I just like this football thing and you'll know
• 1:11:15
  this like every college coach that ever lives.
• 1:11:18
  Oh, this guy's how big I can coach him.
• 1:11:20
  I'm going to turn him into whatever.
• 1:11:22
  Yet there's a guy who's like got really good athleticism,
• 1:11:25
  probably a million times better that they're ignoring because
• 1:11:27
  they think they could turn anybody into something just
• 1:11:30
  because they see raw size. If you have this 6 foot guy,
• 1:11:33
  they just overlook this guy all the time.
• 1:11:35
  So you might be right, but I think he's going to go second
• 1:11:38
  round. If who?
• 1:11:39
  Cares where he goes, he's going to be an NBA player.
• 1:11:42
  It doesn't matter. I think he's going to be an NBA
• 1:11:44
  player. Is going to be a good one.
• 1:11:45
  That's I don't care if he's a first round trip.
• 1:11:47
  It don't matter if you're DRIP After the top 10, all those it's
• 1:11:51
  all a crap shoot. After that, it's all a crap
• 1:11:53
  shoot. So if he's drafted at 11 or if
• 1:11:56
  he's drafted in the second round at #3 or 4, it's a crap shoot
• 1:12:01
  after the top 10. Get to Arizona, that that
• 1:12:04
  defensive perimeter defense that he's going to go against, that's
• 1:12:07
  going to be a real test. And if he could break that
• 1:12:09
  defense, he's he's got me sold. Like I'm watching berries right
• 1:12:13
  now. That guy's going top 10 like
• 1:12:16
  that. They weren't talking about him
• 1:12:17
  that high before the tournament. He is awesome out there right
• 1:12:20
  now. He's dominating.
• 1:12:21
  His shooting percentage is really high too and like.
• 1:12:24
  Arizona doesn't like to be pushed around, they don't like
• 1:12:27
  to be pushed around. And I'm going to tell you right
• 1:12:29
  now, the boiler man are going to push them around.
• 1:12:32
  If they match up against one another, they're going to push
• 1:12:35
  them around. They're a little, I think it's a
• 1:12:36
  little different group. I mean, they're really tough
• 1:12:39
  inside. They got the 72 center, they got
• 1:12:41
  a couple other bigs they could throw at you.
• 1:12:43
  They got enough size compared to previous Arizona teams.
• 1:12:46
  I don't know, like I really think this is the best chance
• 1:12:48
  they've ever had. You know, dating back I guess
• 1:12:51
  what, almost 30 years now. We could.
• 1:12:52
  We could talk about this over and over and again, and I
• 1:12:54
  remember so many Arizona teams that everybody, this is their
• 1:12:56
  top time, this is the deer and it never happened, Never
• 1:13:01
  happened. And I'm going to tell you this,
• 1:13:04
  it's not happening this year. I don't care how much talent
• 1:13:06
  they have on that roster, it's not happening.
• 1:13:08
  They're not winning a national championship.
• 1:13:10
  They're just, they're not, you can book it.
• 1:13:14
  They're not winning a national championship this year.
• 1:13:15
  How? Are we?
• 1:13:17
  Going to do. I'm even going to predict that
• 1:13:18
  Arkansas is going to beat them. I think Arkansas is going to
• 1:13:21
  beat that. Original.
• 1:13:23
  I think they're going to beat them.
• 1:13:24
  I think it's going to be Arkansas and Purdue in the Elite
• 1:13:27
  8. That's what I think is going to
• 1:13:28
  happen and I and it's going to be John Caliber.
• 1:13:31
  I love Purdue. I loved him all the way into the
• 1:13:34
  I, I told to be what I said in the beginning of the season, I
• 1:13:37
  had Purdue winning the national championship.
• 1:13:39
  I didn't even have to watch. I watched like two or three
• 1:13:41
  games of Purdue. I said that went in the national
• 1:13:42
  championship and it's just and the last time I said it, they
• 1:13:46
  went to the national championship and then lost
• 1:13:48
  against UConn. You.
• 1:13:48
  Were on the you were on the redemption story like and.
• 1:13:50
  Now I have the redemption story. I have UConn going to the
• 1:13:53
  national championship versus Purdue and for Purdue to win
• 1:13:56
  their first national championship.
• 1:13:58
  So Q. It's funny because I actually
• 1:14:00
  took the opposite theory. I went for the regular season
• 1:14:02
  redemption story with your Tar Heels because they missed the
• 1:14:04
  tournament the year before. It's the number one overall team
• 1:14:07
  at the beginning. Of the year.
• 1:14:12
  Not this year, I said. In 2024, we.
• 1:14:14
  Lost to Alabama. I had them win, I picked them
• 1:14:17
  win at all because the year before they were the number one
• 1:14:19
  overall C at the start of the year and they missed the
• 1:14:20
  tournament completely. And then go back to UConn and I,
• 1:14:23
  we didn't really speak much about UConn and Michigan State
• 1:14:25
  because that's the match up. That's the match up.
• 1:14:28
  Tom Izzo, one of the greatest coaches of all time, versus
• 1:14:32
  Danny Hurley, probably the best coach right now in college
• 1:14:35
  basketball. You can argue he is the most
• 1:14:37
  successful one in the last five years and you got 2 powerhouses,
• 1:14:42
  UConn and Michigan State. A lot of people think that UConn
• 1:14:45
  has the advantage. I think Michigan State for years
• 1:14:48
  have always played against good cop, good competition if they
• 1:14:51
  move on. And we've seen Tom Izzo get into
• 1:14:53
  the Sweet 16 and then lead aid and one win national, win a
• 1:14:56
  national championships. So to say that Tom Izzo can't do
• 1:14:59
  it this year, that's crazy. Tom Izzo is one of the most
• 1:15:01
  respected coaches in college and very light too.
• 1:15:04
  I met Tom Izzo at the SPSP Awards a couple of years ago,
• 1:15:09
  and Tom Izzo is not a big guy, but one of the nicest people.
• 1:15:12
  He laughs, he smiles, he likes to talk.
• 1:15:14
  He's a big football fan too. He watches a lot of college
• 1:15:17
  football. So Tom Izzzo is a good guy and
• 1:15:21
  and you want to root for him, but I'm not rooting against
• 1:15:23
  Danny Hurley. I'm a Hurley fan and I'm going
• 1:15:26
  all Hurley this year, man. I think Danny Hurley is going to
• 1:15:30
  surprise a lot of people because a lot of people don't think
• 1:15:33
  Danny Hurley has enough to get into the Final Four and win a
• 1:15:37
  national championship. I beg to differ.
• 1:15:39
  I think UConn has an opportunity to share.
• 1:15:41
  They have two big guys that can rebound, they can score.
• 1:15:45
  They're good offense and defensive rebounding teams and
• 1:15:47
  they have enough on the perimeter, shooting on the
• 1:15:50
  perimeter and they have guys that can do everything.
• 1:15:53
  So, and Danny Hurley is one of the meanest, God forsaking
• 1:15:58
  people on a basketball court. He will get into your head early
• 1:16:01
  in the game. He'll be yelling at teams.
• 1:16:03
  He'll be yelling at players, yelling at referees, yelling at
• 1:16:06
  other coaches on the other sidelines.
• 1:16:08
  This is the guy. This is Bobby Knight.
• 1:16:10
  This is the new Bobby Knight. And that's what I love about
• 1:16:13
  Danny Hurley is he doesn't give a crap.
• 1:16:15
  He's going to go out there, he's going to coach the hell out of
• 1:16:17
  the game and he's going to make sure that he is on top at the
• 1:16:20
  tail end with what what, what one or two seconds left of the
• 1:16:23
  game. He's going to make sure that he
• 1:16:24
  is in the lead. And I'm telling you right now,
• 1:16:26
  as good as Michigan State is and, and a lot of people, a lot
• 1:16:30
  of people have Michigan State going to the Final Four.
• 1:16:32
  A lot of people do. If Michigan State beats UConn,
• 1:16:36
  who they matched up, Duke or Saint John's, I, I think they
• 1:16:39
  have a very, I think they have a very good chance of getting into
• 1:16:41
  the Final Four because I think the hardest, the hardest team
• 1:16:44
  they're going to have to play is Yuka.
• 1:16:45
  I'm telling you right now, out of all these four teams in East,
• 1:16:48
  Yukon's the best one, Yeah. They're the most balanced one
• 1:16:50
  right now and Saint John's they still have to rely a lot on
• 1:16:53
  their length in order to be able to win even two games in a row
• 1:16:57
  too. Now they're a better offensive
• 1:16:58
  team than they were last year. Obviously, like we were saying,
• 1:16:59
  they have enough 3 point shooting scoring, but they still
• 1:17:02
  rely on their length the most and they show, they showed in
• 1:17:04
  the beginning of that, say that Kansas game that they did that,
• 1:17:07
  but they're have to do it a lot more, especially if they played
• 1:17:09
  Michigan State down the road and Duke and UConn, all of them have
• 1:17:12
  length inside to be able to make that kind of thing work out.
• 1:17:14
  That's a we talked about the coaching gauntlet in that
• 1:17:16
  region. Hurley's the best one in the
• 1:17:18
  modern identity. Izzo did a great job adjusting
• 1:17:20
  though, and that's going to be something that it'll be
• 1:17:21
  interesting to see with the days off now because they have three
• 1:17:23
  days off, how the counter attack's going to be with that
• 1:17:25
  coaching battle. Hey Errol, before we move into
• 1:17:29
  Speedy's talking more about the elite aid and Sweet 16, can I,
• 1:17:32
  can I raise you a Danny Hurley and give you your other favorite
• 1:17:37
  Hurley, the one that played that you loved in Duke?
• 1:17:40
  Bobby Hurley and his assistant Nate Oates when they were at
• 1:17:45
  Buffalo with my alma mater bringing them to their only
• 1:17:49
  relevancy there ever was Nate Oates eventually getting the
• 1:17:52
  first ever win for Buffalo against ironically, Bobby Hurley
• 1:17:56
  at Arizona State. Nate Oates is an amazing
• 1:18:01
  basketball coach and they're going up against Michigan and I
• 1:18:05
  don't believe in this Michigan team, Errol.
• 1:18:07
  I really don't. And I really think there's a big
• 1:18:11
  upset coming this weekend. I.
• 1:18:13
  Don't I think Michigan is going all the way to the Final Four.
• 1:18:15
  I think Michigan, Houston has the best bracket.
• 1:18:19
  Houston to me now, and now that Vanderbilt has been knocked out,
• 1:18:23
  Houston is is a clear favorite to go into Final Four.
• 1:18:26
  They're a clear favorite. Florida's out.
• 1:18:29
  They're all out. So it there.
• 1:18:31
  To me, there's nobody that's going to be as long as Houston
• 1:18:34
  plays at a mediocre level, There's no way Nebraska or any
• 1:18:38
  of those teams are going to knock them off.
• 1:18:39
  So I expect them to get into the the Elite 8 and I expect them to
• 1:18:44
  go to the Final Four. As I predicted.
• 1:18:46
  As far as Michigan's concerned, I think Michigan's in the
• 1:18:50
  easiest bracket. They they we argued that that
• 1:18:53
  that was the easiest bracket. Alabama is a very interesting
• 1:18:56
  team and Alabama, if they're matched up against them, they
• 1:18:59
  could beat Michigan the way they're shooting the ball
• 1:19:01
  because Alabama hit the shots like they've been shooting at a
• 1:19:05
  clip throughout this tournament. They're they're on a all time
• 1:19:08
  high. How many 3 pointers have they
• 1:19:10
  hit? I mean, it's crazy how many 3
• 1:19:12
  pointers they've hit in back-to-back games.
• 1:19:14
  Can they continue to play this way?
• 1:19:16
  I don't think so. I, I, I, I don't think I am very
• 1:19:19
  interested to see how Alabama is going to continue to play at a
• 1:19:23
  high level of scoring if they expect to beat teams like
• 1:19:27
  Michigan, who's very good defensively, know how to defend
• 1:19:29
  the three ball and they're going to force them to get
• 1:19:31
  uncomfortable when they get inside.
• 1:19:33
  So, and they have great size too.
• 1:19:36
  Michigan has great size. So I disagree with you.
• 1:19:39
  I think Michigan, unless some catastrophical, catastrophic
• 1:19:42
  thing happens, I think Michigan, it's AI, think Michigan and
• 1:19:46
  Houston, you could book it. Both those teams are heading to
• 1:19:50
  the Final Four. That's my prediction as far as
• 1:19:54
  Yukon, I mean, there's a lot of questions over there on the east
• 1:19:56
  side and in Arizona with the Purdue, you, you got to go
• 1:20:00
  through Arkansas, you got to go through Purdue.
• 1:20:01
  I, it's going to be all if, if Arizona gets to the final four,
• 1:20:05
  they deserve it. They deserve it because that's
• 1:20:08
  not an easy bracket to get through it.
• 1:20:11
  It really is in Arkansas to me, very, very tired.
• 1:20:14
  They look very, very tired. And but a cuff he he, he was
• 1:20:17
  playing unbelievable. And if he plays at a high level
• 1:20:20
  like this? I don't know if if teams like
• 1:20:24
  Arizona is going to be able to score as many points because you
• 1:20:28
  like all these players that they have and it they got two guys
• 1:20:31
  that could be top 10 talents, but can they do it in the big
• 1:20:34
  game? Arizona has proven they've had
• 1:20:37
  top 10 talents over the years. One of them is playing for Utah.
• 1:20:41
  And how did that work out? They got eliminated pretty quick
• 1:20:44
  in the tournament. It doesn't always mean because
• 1:20:47
  you're the better team or you've been the most dominant team
• 1:20:50
  throughout the the year that you're going to win and you're
• 1:20:52
  going to get into the Final Four.
• 1:20:53
  I, I don't, I don't trust Arizona.
• 1:20:55
  I I really until Arizona proves to me they can get there, I
• 1:20:58
  don't believe it. Yeah, and that's another one you
• 1:21:00
  could question coaching wise, like you did with Shire.
• 1:21:02
  Like Tommy Lloyd's been stuck at the Sweet 16.
• 1:21:04
  He hasn't gotten over the hump yet.
• 1:21:06
  Meanwhile, you talk about somebody else, like Michigan and
• 1:21:08
  Alabama, two young coaches that have made the Final Four
• 1:21:10
  already. Michigan's dangerous.
• 1:21:13
  Michigan's dangerous. And I'm telling you right now,
• 1:21:16
  it's whoever comes out of the the region with Purdue and
• 1:21:21
  Arizona and Arkansas. I I still think Michigan is
• 1:21:25
  going to be a heavy favorite in that game.
• 1:21:28
  My brackets are cursed or favored.
• 1:21:31
  What better or not? Because I watched that Houston
• 1:21:33
  Arizona Big 12 championship game and how many Arizona handled
• 1:21:37
  Houston? How?
• 1:21:38
  Many Elite 8 guys? How many Elite 8 teams do you
• 1:21:41
  still have in this? I have a lot actually.
• 1:21:44
  You know what, Let's bring up the standings of our bracket
• 1:21:49
  here that we're doing who's at first.
• 1:21:51
  I'll bring up the one. That's laughing right now, I
• 1:21:53
  believe is at first. Right now Q is in first. 00.
• 1:21:59
  But that hurts. He actually isn't in first with
• 1:22:03
  like the total amount of points he can get.
• 1:22:05
  That goes to me sitting in fourth.
• 1:22:08
  Errol, you are only four points behind.
• 1:22:11
  QQ's actually got a pretty big lead after that.
• 1:22:14
  Nathan is sitting there. I've got Q.
• 1:22:17
  I'm catching up to you, man. You're only four points ahead of
• 1:22:20
  me. I'm telling you and I and I
• 1:22:23
  started this show with this. Just listen to me, OK?
• 1:22:25
  Listen to you, you're beating. You're.
• 1:22:26
  Beating me by 4 points I. Will give you're.
• 1:22:29
  Beating me by 4 points. Don't worry, Q, don't worry, Q,
• 1:22:33
  I'm going. To take you win.
• 1:22:35
  You're not going to win. I'm going to win.
• 1:22:37
  I'm winning. I'm winning.
• 1:22:39
  I'm going to make sure that I'm out of.
• 1:22:39
  Trouble right here, though. Speedy lost three of his final
• 1:22:43
  14. Is that right?
• 1:22:44
  That's correct. Because I went for one sleeper
• 1:22:46
  and Vanderbilt and Gonzaga, I was high on the other scenario.
• 1:22:49
  I was considering who does Q. Have in the final four.
• 1:22:53
  All right, let's take a look. Who does?
• 1:22:54
  He have in the final Four. Hugh's bracket has Saint John's,
• 1:22:59
  Connecticut, Arizona, Purdue not.
• 1:23:02
  Chance, not chance. Oh baby.
• 1:23:05
  No, no. That's the elite 8.
• 1:23:06
  That's the elite 8. That's.
• 1:23:07
  The Elite 8, that's the Elite 8. Yeah, Arizona and Purdue would
• 1:23:09
  play each other in the Elite 8 if that happened.
• 1:23:11
  There it is. Connecticut.
• 1:23:12
  Houston, Arizona and he had Kentucky.
• 1:23:15
  He. Copied me.
• 1:23:21
  That's funny how you copied me this.
• 1:23:23
  One's Errol's Errol's got the Final Four, Yukon, Houston,
• 1:23:28
  Purdue, Michigan. Yeah, You want to bet on that?
• 1:23:33
  You want to bet on that one? And I heard him.
• 1:23:37
  That's not gonna hurt me. I'm sitting there with Saint
• 1:23:41
  John's and Houston and Arizona and Iowa State.
• 1:23:45
  I love that Big 12 this year, man, and I love Saint John's.
• 1:23:48
  That's all I got to say. Any.
• 1:23:49
  Bad. That's better than Aaron you.
• 1:23:51
  Have three, You have three. That's not.
• 1:23:52
  Better than Big 12? Final four first get.
• 1:23:55
  Out of here, I do, I do. Like I said, I watched a lot of
• 1:23:58
  that tournament speedy it. It definitely shaped my opinion.
• 1:24:01
  He's going on the one game. Theory all right, let's move on
• 1:24:05
  let's move on before I get angry I I've I've got a lot to say to
• 1:24:09
  Q it's not over yet We got a lot more to get into speedy 6 pack
• 1:24:13
  of the week. Let's have a sixer.
• 1:24:16
  Hey, who wants to play Drink the Beer?
• 1:24:18
  It's time for the Speedy 6 pack of the week.
• 1:24:24
  You said smothering. All right, since you guys are
• 1:24:25
  already debating about the Michigan Alabama game, we'll
• 1:24:28
  start there. So Alabama #1 scoring offense
• 1:24:31
  91.7 points per game and most efficiency per possession. 1.188
• 1:24:36
  points per possession against a Michigan defense #3 Effective
• 1:24:39
  field goal and #2 shooting percentage. 38.7 allowed.
• 1:24:43
  Who you talking about? Alabama versus Michigan,
• 1:24:45
  Michigan's defense against. Alabama doesn't stand a chance
• 1:24:48
  against Michigan's defense. Michigan is going to blow them
• 1:24:51
  out in this game. Alabama, if they they keep
• 1:24:54
  chucking up threes the way they played all throughout this
• 1:24:57
  tournament, it's not going to work against Michigan.
• 1:24:59
  They're great perimeter defending team and they're going
• 1:25:01
  to make them get inside and they're going to make them beat
• 1:25:03
  inside, beat them inside. There's no chance in hell
• 1:25:06
  Michigan is going to blow them out.
• 1:25:09
  You got any thoughts? I was trying to figure out where
• 1:25:12
  you go. So you go with Alabama?
• 1:25:13
  No, Michigan. He's going with Michigan.
• 1:25:15
  He. Thinks Michigan's defense is
• 1:25:16
  like he was going. With Alabama, no.
• 1:25:18
  I was confused. Alabama likes to shoot the three
• 1:25:21
  though bro, that's what they do. I think Alabama pulls it out.
• 1:25:24
  I think it upsets his bracket. I like it.
• 1:25:28
  I like it better. Three, four.
• 1:25:30
  And I think they gonna yeah, I think they just knocked them
• 1:25:32
  out. I don't think Michigan is as
• 1:25:35
  good as we are predicting to be. I think you've seen the best.
• 1:25:40
  He's such an ass. I'm just saying, yeah, just just
• 1:25:43
  make sure we mutate when we get back.
• 1:25:46
  OK, All right. I'll remember you said that.
• 1:25:47
  Now that will go to the other end of that region, Tennessee
• 1:25:51
  and Iowa State. This will help your case.
• 1:25:52
  Errol of the Iowa State blowout. Joshua Jefferson, their best
• 1:25:55
  player throughout the year, missed the first two games of
• 1:25:57
  this tournament. They will he will come back be
• 1:25:59
  coming back from injury. 9th ranked scoring defense, 19th
• 1:26:01
  overall and rebounding. Tennessee scoring a lot from
• 1:26:04
  three though, shooting 9 for 18. 77% from the free throw lining.
• 1:26:08
  It's a very good Virginia defense.
• 1:26:09
  I love Iowa State in this game. Absolutely love them.
• 1:26:14
  I, I, it's been a blowout really throughout this tournament.
• 1:26:17
  I think most of these games are going to be blowouts and I think
• 1:26:20
  this is going to be a blowout. I, I love Iowa State in this
• 1:26:22
  game. I don't trust Tennessee.
• 1:26:24
  Tennessee to me should not have beaten Virginia.
• 1:26:28
  Virginia just didn't play hard. They didn't play at a high level
• 1:26:31
  and and that's why Tennessee just completely dominated them
• 1:26:34
  throughout the game, except maybe 5 minutes of the game when
• 1:26:37
  Virginia came back and then and then all of a sudden fell apart
• 1:26:40
  again at the tail end of the game.
• 1:26:41
  I, I just Tennessee, there's no way they're going to be able to
• 1:26:44
  do that against Iowa State. And the way they, they, they
• 1:26:46
  like to score inside and like to dominate the paints.
• 1:26:49
  So I'm got, I got Iowa State completely kicking the you know
• 1:26:52
  what out of it. Yeah.
• 1:26:53
  I'm going completely opposite. Should have put a wood up.
• 1:26:55
  Tennessee got the job done. They beat UVAI, think they roll
• 1:26:59
  along with the momentum of beating UVA. 3 ball is falling,
• 1:27:03
  you're going to take Tennessee. You'll.
• 1:27:04
  Be you'll be taking balls and you know.
• 1:27:06
  I'm sure we will. Yeah, I'm sure we will.
• 1:27:08
  That's why you behind me in the bracket.
• 1:27:10
  By 4 points, 4 points this. Guy, this guy I'm.
• 1:27:16
  Behind him by 4 you. Start listening to me.
• 1:27:18
  You're starting. I'll remember you said that.
• 1:27:22
  I'll remember you said that. Just remember you said that.
• 1:27:27
  Let's move on to the one team we didn't really talk about much,
• 1:27:29
  Illinois. They've been blowing their
• 1:27:31
  opponents out already to 4th most threes they've attempted
• 1:27:33
  per game in the country. 7th most efficient offense because a
• 1:27:35
  Houston defense number one in points per game #8IN opposing to
• 1:27:38
  assist turn turnover ratio. Houston's winning this game.
• 1:27:41
  I, I, I think Houston defensively, one of the best in
• 1:27:44
  the nation. They, they're, they've scored
• 1:27:46
  enough in this tournament. They're not known for their
• 1:27:49
  scoring. As a matter of fact, out of all
• 1:27:50
  the teams that are still in the tournament, they're the least
• 1:27:52
  scoring machine. But they're great defensively.
• 1:27:56
  They're great coached. I think Houston goes all the way
• 1:27:58
  to the final floor. Take that and, you know, wrap it
• 1:28:03
  up and pour it in whatever you want.
• 1:28:05
  If it's milk and milk chocolate melts in your mouth, not in your
• 1:28:07
  hands, it's not going to melt in your hands.
• 1:28:09
  It's going to melt in your mouth because that's what's going to
• 1:28:11
  happen. Houston is dominating this game.
• 1:28:14
  I take Houston as well. Give him, give him credit guys
• 1:28:18
  for once in a while. He's right.
• 1:28:20
  So yeah, give him that. I wouldn't add to nothing that
• 1:28:24
  he said he spoke. Well, all right,
• 1:28:26
  congratulations. All right, Fleming's real.
• 1:28:29
  Like, the dude is real. Like that guy is going to be a
• 1:28:32
  name you hear for a long time. I think.
• 1:28:34
  I don't know if he's even like scratching the surface of how
• 1:28:37
  good he's going to be yet, though.
• 1:28:38
  So I just worry about their offense.
• 1:28:40
  Donovan Mitchell. Yeah, I think I think that's an
• 1:28:46
  interesting comp and I'm sure we're going to have plenty of
• 1:28:48
  time to talk about those comps in the draft in a couple of
• 1:28:50
  months. But like right now, it's just
• 1:28:53
  can you score enough if the other team, you know, gets hot?
• 1:28:57
  Because any team can get hot. And if you're a team that can't
• 1:29:00
  catch up, that scares me. And I worry about that sometimes
• 1:29:03
  with Houston. But their defense has been so
• 1:29:05
  good. And you're you're right, Errol,
• 1:29:06
  their offense is better than it's been in recent years.
• 1:29:09
  I would say. I think they have enough.
• 1:29:12
  All right, we'll go to the other match up in that region, the
• 1:29:14
  Iowa and Nebraska. You guys kind of wore out the
• 1:29:16
  Saint John's of Duke already, so I'm not.
• 1:29:17
  I'll go to this one instead. Iowa, Iowa's actually their best
• 1:29:20
  defensive efficiency year, even though it's still kind of low 36
• 1:29:23
  right now and one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the
• 1:29:26
  country #8 overall in three-point efficiency against
• 1:29:28
  the Nebraska team that they're one of the, I believe it's six
• 1:29:31
  teams left that were top 20 in both offensive and defensive
• 1:29:35
  efficiency in one metric, but lower on the T rank metric, only
• 1:29:39
  58th offensive efficiency. Can Iowa get the upset here?
• 1:29:43
  No, I think Nebraska's going to go to the first Elite 8I.
• 1:29:46
  I really do. I think Nebraska has proven
• 1:29:49
  themselves. They beat Vanderbilt, Iowa, as
• 1:29:53
  good as Iowa has been throughout this tournament, they're not
• 1:29:55
  Iowa State. And I think Iowa hit that
• 1:29:58
  game-winning shot. I, I don't think they're going
• 1:30:00
  to be able to do it against Nebraska.
• 1:30:01
  I think Nebraska's a good shooting team.
• 1:30:03
  I think they're going to find a way to win the game.
• 1:30:04
  It's going to be a very, very, this is going to be a very, very
• 1:30:06
  close game, but I'm going to, I'm going to go with Nebraska.
• 1:30:11
  Well, we know why you go with Nebraska, but we will not say,
• 1:30:14
  yeah, I'm gonna go our I think that Nebraska is kind of
• 1:30:20
  overrated at me, I think. But I like, I like the game, I
• 1:30:23
  like what they do, but I'm gonna go with our this one.
• 1:30:26
  All right, we'll go. We got it.
• 1:30:28
  Fetch. What are you?
• 1:30:29
  Saying I was just going to say they started 20 and O.
• 1:30:32
  Teams don't just magically start 20 and O.
• 1:30:34
  They had some guys get a little banged up.
• 1:30:37
  They got healthy in time. This team's really good.
• 1:30:39
  I, I undersold them. I think a lot of people didn't
• 1:30:42
  really believe in them heading in because they weren't as great
• 1:30:44
  in the last half of the season. They're real though, dude.
• 1:30:48
  Like they're, they're going to be an Elite Eight team.
• 1:30:50
  I agree. Let's go to the other underdog,
• 1:30:52
  Texas #11 see the only double to the seed to advance.
• 1:30:55
  They're taking on Purdue now. You know what I answered.
• 1:30:57
  Yes, I was leaning at a different angle like.
• 1:31:00
  You can lean as far as you want to lean.
• 1:31:01
  It's you're going to be leaning deep.
• 1:31:04
  Texas is offense as the most amount of free throws and field
• 1:31:07
  goal attempts per game, playing a fast-paced going good at
• 1:31:10
  drawing fouls. Can they do enough of that on
• 1:31:13
  Purdue, you think? No.
• 1:31:14
  Or is there going to be another game plan they have to adjust to
• 1:31:16
  they? Have no shot in this game.
• 1:31:18
  No shot. I expect Purdue to completely
• 1:31:21
  run all over them. They have been as consistent as
• 1:31:24
  any team in this tournament from from the first round to the
• 1:31:27
  second round. Now they're heading into the
• 1:31:28
  Sweet 16. I I think they've been as good
• 1:31:32
  as I expected them to be and it's going there.
• 1:31:35
  The hardest game they have that they're going to be connected to
• 1:31:38
  is either Arkansas or Arizona. That is it.
• 1:31:41
  And then they're going to get into the Final four.
• 1:31:43
  I, I think that they've had an easy way to the Final four.
• 1:31:48
  Probably easier when they when they and they got into the
• 1:31:50
  championship against UConn a couple of years ago.
• 1:31:52
  I think Purdue is going to run all over him.
• 1:31:56
  Yeah, I said it's AI. Think Texas luck will run out
• 1:32:01
  against Purdue unless they come out on fire and just some
• 1:32:05
  unbelievable game. I don't expect Purdue to lose
• 1:32:08
  this game in Texas. Honestly, honestly, Errol, if I
• 1:32:12
  didn't have Purdue losing to them in the Elite 8, if they
• 1:32:15
  were in a different bracket, I would have put them in the
• 1:32:16
  championship game against Arizona.
• 1:32:18
  I think Purdue is just like unbelievable.
• 1:32:21
  I agree with you. I just think they're going up
• 1:32:23
  against the team that's I think's better, that's all.
• 1:32:26
  If it gets there, I got a question.
• 1:32:27
  To ask you if Arkansas plays Purdue, who do you have winning?
• 1:32:31
  Purdue by a lot. I, I just, I don't believe, I
• 1:32:33
  don't believe Arkansas is going to be close to Arizona in this
• 1:32:36
  game. I remember you said I think
• 1:32:37
  they're tired. I think that they they went on
• 1:32:40
  that long haul. I think Arizona is more built
• 1:32:42
  for this type of type of season. Why?
• 1:32:46
  Surprise, surprise all. Right.
• 1:32:47
  We're going to finish with that game because I like the staff
• 1:32:49
  for it better. So Arizona takes the least three
• 1:32:52
  pointers among the remaining tournament teams, and they're
• 1:32:55
  actually 358th in the country in terms of taking threes.
• 1:32:58
  Can they John Calipari, whose defenses, again, not as good as
• 1:33:01
  we've seen other defenses for them in the past, dupe them into
• 1:33:04
  shooting threes? Rebounding, I think they're a
• 1:33:07
  very good rebounding team. Calipari's teams are always been
• 1:33:09
  good rebounding teams and if they can out beat them on the
• 1:33:13
  boards, I think Arkansas will win this game.
• 1:33:16
  That's the problem. If Arkansas hits threes and
• 1:33:19
  they're going for twos, they're going to they're going to be
• 1:33:21
  pushing that that that way. They want to play that pace of
• 1:33:25
  the game and they're going to force Arizona to get
• 1:33:28
  uncomfortable and play uncomfortable.
• 1:33:31
  And I think that's why I think Arkansas is going to be matched
• 1:33:33
  up very well against Arizona because Arizona is not a
• 1:33:36
  three-point shooting team and and Arkansas is.
• 1:33:38
  So I'm going Arkansas and I think because of the fact that
• 1:33:42
  Arkansas is going to make this a back and forth 4th game
• 1:33:45
  offensively. Yeah, I'm gonna go to Arizona.
• 1:33:49
  I think Arizona, well, you said they rebound better, but they
• 1:33:52
  don't have more rebound than Arizona.
• 1:33:54
  So I'm going to say that every. Not in the tournament, but
• 1:33:57
  throughout the year they have. Correct.
• 1:33:59
  Well, we're here in the tournament.
• 1:34:01
  We can't go back in the past and and fight those battles.
• 1:34:04
  OK. So as of now, Arizona is leading
• 1:34:07
  in regards to rebalance? Dude don't worry, when I pass I.
• 1:34:09
  Believe that when I Arizona would get the job done.
• 1:34:12
  I don't have Arkansas. I think they are time and their
• 1:34:15
  luck would run out all right. So, Q after I pass you in the
• 1:34:19
  bracket over the weekend, you can kiss me on these.
• 1:34:21
  Beautiful. Win, win.
• 1:34:23
  Yeah, you. Can kiss me on these beautiful
• 1:34:25
  pythons all right? You know what I'm going to say
• 1:34:28
  about it's going to hit the threes, though.
• 1:34:30
  For Arizona, Berries is going to hit all the threes they need to
• 1:34:34
  have hit. He's the guy that's going to
• 1:34:35
  shoot him. They got it.
• 1:34:37
  And you know, Bradley can get hot.
• 1:34:39
  He's a streaky shooter too. So if they can get both those
• 1:34:42
  guys going, they can score with anybody.
• 1:34:44
  I they don't. Need it for you.
• 1:34:46
  The three is good, but they don't.
• 1:34:48
  They don't need. It they don't need it like, you
• 1:34:50
  know, like they have Burries. Burries can he's he had 9
• 1:34:53
  rebounds in both games and he's a guard.
• 1:34:55
  He's 64. Like I'm telling you, this guy's
• 1:34:59
  really special and people are overlooking it.
• 1:35:02
  He might carry them. I believe in the Easter Bunny
• 1:35:05
  too. All right, that's Speedies 6
• 1:35:08
  pack. Berries, Bunny.
• 1:35:10
  Yeah. There's definitely a Bunny
• 1:35:13
  involved with that. Anyways, we call this the NBA
• 1:35:16
  Round Table. Yes, Let's go.
• 1:35:18
  Oh. That's right.
• 1:35:19
  Let's get into the round table, everybody, you said.
• 1:35:22
  Smug just like this out of somebody's.
• 1:35:25
  Body the first story of the NBA round table.
• 1:35:28
  We're going to just cover about 5 different.
• 1:35:30
  I hope these. Are going on.
• 1:35:32
  News wise, in the NBA while the tournament's going.
• 1:35:35
  It's not exactly. As exciting as what Nathan's
• 1:35:39
  probably up to right now. And Nathan, by the way, we got a
• 1:35:41
  background for you, Nathan, you can go put yours in.
• 1:35:44
  I want her sit in. Our backstage, our great PR
• 1:35:47
  actor. Nathan Woody.
• 1:35:49
  Ramachandra. I need Brittany also is
• 1:35:52
  Brittany? On his.
• 1:35:54
  Background. I'm putting you on a leash now.
• 1:35:58
  There I got to. Go.
• 1:35:58
  Let's get into it. All right, Nathan.
• 1:36:02
  We'll see you after NBA. Don't whack off.
• 1:36:09
  The NBA wants to expand. They, they, they're making money
• 1:36:13
  hand over fist. They're figured it out.
• 1:36:15
  This new streaming model seems to be paying dividends already
• 1:36:19
  for Adam Silver and the gang over there.
• 1:36:22
  They're talking about Las Vegas and Seattle probably being the
• 1:36:27
  first two teams by the 2829 season.
• 1:36:31
  They're going to start accepting bids this month, 7 to 10 billion
• 1:36:35
  per team. They're going to have to do some
• 1:36:38
  kind of realignment cuz that'll bring them to 32 teams.
• 1:36:41
  There's a bunch of people that think that is terrible for the
• 1:36:44
  league, that there's enough bad basketball going on right now
• 1:36:47
  that we don't need more bad basketball.
• 1:36:50
  But as you know, Errol money's going to win out.
• 1:36:52
  I love it. First of all, you knew Las Vegas
• 1:36:56
  is going to do that. They're adding the A's over
• 1:36:57
  there. They have the Las Vegas Knights,
• 1:36:59
  They they have the Raiders there and I expect them to bring a
• 1:37:03
  basketball organization there as well.
• 1:37:05
  I, I think it's going to sell. It's going to sell out and you
• 1:37:08
  have so many people going in and out of the casinos.
• 1:37:10
  They're going to sell out every single game over there in Vegas
• 1:37:13
  and the SuperSonics bringing back the Seattle SuperSonics
• 1:37:16
  over there in Seattle, It's an absolute slam dunk.
• 1:37:20
  I I, I, I missed the Supersonic. I said I missed those Gary
• 1:37:23
  Payton teams and Sean Shawn Kemp.
• 1:37:27
  I'm sorry, I'm trying to remember those teams.
• 1:37:29
  I'm his favorite basketball player.
• 1:37:31
  And also to Kembe Matumbo, who was I think he was there too.
• 1:37:33
  So I I mean. Detlets.
• 1:37:36
  Shrimp, detlets shrimp. I mean, this was this was an
• 1:37:39
  organization that was very well respected before they went to OK
• 1:37:42
  CI. Love it.
• 1:37:43
  Those are two good basketball cities.
• 1:37:46
  I think those are two good sports cities.
• 1:37:48
  You have the Seattle Seahawks over there.
• 1:37:50
  They have a hockey team. Now I I think this is great for
• 1:37:53
  basketball to put them into cities.
• 1:37:54
  And I think every single city, everything single state should
• 1:37:58
  have a professional hockey team, a professional basketball team,
• 1:38:00
  a professional baseball team and a professional hockey team.
• 1:38:04
  So I think this is great for basketball.
• 1:38:05
  I don't care what the NBA players say.
• 1:38:07
  Yeah, it definitely is great. Las Vegas has already worked
• 1:38:10
  very effectively with pretty much everything so far.
• 1:38:12
  I I was just skeptical of hockey at the time and it boom.
• 1:38:15
  Obviously the cup helped give. Me.
• 1:38:17
  That chicken pond? Boomed right away in terms of
• 1:38:19
  getting fan base. They're a very stable
• 1:38:20
  organization now. The Raiders are not a stable
• 1:38:22
  organization, but they still get good attendance record over
• 1:38:24
  there. It'll definitely work.
• 1:38:25
  Squeeze the team Which? Is a lot more star driven
• 1:38:28
  league. Yeah, I don't, I don't see, I
• 1:38:32
  like the idea of adding, getting two extra teams and bringing in
• 1:38:36
  more talent. But I do I'm agree with the
• 1:38:38
  basketball players. I think it's enough bad
• 1:38:40
  basketball that we don't need to add anything.
• 1:38:43
  If there was to take away a city, maybe like Washington
• 1:38:46
  Wizards or, you know, then we could relocate the Memphis
• 1:38:50
  Grizzlies, I think that might have, you know, been no.
• 1:38:53
  Not the Grizzlies, they they have a good fan base.
• 1:38:54
  Would be probably more likely A-Team if you.
• 1:38:56
  Think it's such bad basketball then draft right?
• 1:38:59
  Draft Right? No.
• 1:39:00
  It's not, but it's not about it's you don't just get to pick
• 1:39:03
  any really draft that you owe. No, you don't.
• 1:39:07
  I. Mean the Knicks have had the.
• 1:39:08
  Best some people may pick it before you get there or you made
• 1:39:12
  the trade pick. You know, building the team
• 1:39:15
  isn't just, Oh yeah, free agents.
• 1:39:17
  All right, all. Right.
• 1:39:18
  Hold on one second. Hold on.
• 1:39:21
  Hold on. Phil Jackson was there.
• 1:39:22
  He's the greatest coach of all time.
• 1:39:24
  He goes over there to the Knicks.
• 1:39:25
  He can't build the team. He brings in coaches.
• 1:39:27
  He brings this in. He brings that in.
• 1:39:29
  Doesn't work. They bring in an agent, Leon
• 1:39:31
  Rose and Worldwide West, and all of a sudden everything
• 1:39:34
  transitions. The Knicks are a winning team.
• 1:39:36
  They're an organization that can win a championship.
• 1:39:39
  You're going to tell me the Knicks had winning basketball,
• 1:39:41
  25 years of garbage basketball, and you're going to tell me that
• 1:39:45
  organization was good? The Mecca Basketball.
• 1:39:48
  Guys acquire good talent. Oh, acquire what talent?
• 1:39:52
  Oh, I'm sorry. Let let's let's acquire Amari
• 1:39:54
  Stoudemire. His knees were dead.
• 1:39:56
  OK. He had one good season.
• 1:39:57
  Oh, great talent. Wonderful talent.
• 1:39:59
  Who did they have? Every single person.
• 1:40:02
  Carmelo Anthony. Oh, oh, one guy.
• 1:40:05
  One guy. How about Jeremy Lin?
• 1:40:06
  He was he was great, too, Lin. Sanity Great.
• 1:40:10
  Yeah. Yeah, he was he was he was great
• 1:40:12
  for what, 15 games? And then he was gone because
• 1:40:14
  Carmel, Because Carmelo Anthony was crying.
• 1:40:17
  Because he was taking out the spotlight from him.
• 1:40:20
  Give me a break. There was no talent there.
• 1:40:22
  But guess what, everybody? Knick games were sold out.
• 1:40:25
  It didn't matter how bad the Knicks were for 25 years, they.
• 1:40:28
  Sold out? You're telling me Memphis and
• 1:40:30
  Seattle games are sold? Out.
• 1:40:32
  It's not again going back to Memphis.
• 1:40:35
  Go, is it? Is it Memphis's fault that John
• 1:40:38
  Moran likes to pull out his gun? Is it doesn't?
• 1:40:41
  Matter that has to do. With has a lot to do with
• 1:40:44
  basketball. No, you can't control your
• 1:40:46
  players. Media, we make it you.
• 1:40:48
  Can't control your players? You can't.
• 1:40:52
  Impact him on the floor, that's what he get paid to do.
• 1:40:55
  So, so that's your answer there's.
• 1:40:57
  Laws and legislation outside of the court, all right so whatever
• 1:41:02
  he do outside of the court should not impact what happens
• 1:41:05
  on the. Oh, so when he goes to a strip
• 1:41:07
  bar and pulls out his gun, that's off the court so they
• 1:41:09
  can't control their player, right.
• 1:41:10
  Well, how about going to a basketball court and pulling out
• 1:41:13
  his gun because some kid pissed him off?
• 1:41:16
  Yeah, that that's controlling. That that that's perfect.
• 1:41:19
  I thought it. Was it was a person in the
• 1:41:21
  vehicle? No interesting that was making
• 1:41:24
  of shit. Speaking of shooters, there is
• 1:41:27
  one that just passed the almighty Michael Jordan.
• 1:41:33
  Please on the all times. Pointless.
• 1:41:35
  Yes please. Kevin Durant has now passed
• 1:41:41
  Michael Jordan for fifth all time in scoring at 3232 thousand
• 1:41:47
  302 points. Next up is Kobe Bryant, won't
• 1:41:51
  get there this season but should get there next season assuming
• 1:41:54
  he stays healthy. Probably early in the season.
• 1:41:57
  Only about 1300 points behind him.
• 1:42:00
  Kevin Durant, obviously he needed 26 points in the game
• 1:42:06
  against the Rockets. He finished with 27.
• 1:42:09
  It was a huge deal obviously when it happened.
• 1:42:13
  He already passed Wilt and Dirk this season.
• 1:42:19
  It's pretty impressive what he's done.
• 1:42:21
  Errol, obviously some people think he's the greatest shooter.
• 1:42:24
  Please of. All time please.
• 1:42:26
  Some people think he's the base shooting big if they will give
• 1:42:29
  him the shooter. My fault's fish, but can you
• 1:42:32
  give me the stat? I'll give you the stat that's.
• 1:42:35
  Games that took Kevin Durant to score 32,000 points with over
• 1:42:39
  Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan played 1000.
• 1:42:42
  Hold on, I'll give you the stat. Michael Jordan played 1000.
• 1:42:45
  Michael Jordan played 1072 games to Kevin Durant's 1190.
• 1:42:50
  Get off it. He's not better than Michael
• 1:42:52
  Jordan, Michael. He's not even.
• 1:42:56
  Close. He's not.
• 1:42:57
  Even close and all he does is Chuck out threes.
• 1:43:00
  Michael Jordan didn't do that. That wasn't his game.
• 1:43:02
  So please don't even compare her.
• 1:43:04
  Don't even compare her. He don't even.
• 1:43:08
  Michael Jordan averaged his career average was 30.1 points
• 1:43:11
  per game to Kevin Durant's 27.1. Please go sit on it, Kevin and
• 1:43:18
  Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, Michael Michael
• 1:43:23
  Jordan. Michael Jordan didn't have to go
• 1:43:27
  to another organization to win a championship.
• 1:43:29
  He did it in Chicago where he was.
• 1:43:32
  Please stop, stop, stop selling things that are not true about
• 1:43:38
  Michael Jordan. It's.
• 1:43:39
  OK. I couldn't stand Michael.
• 1:43:40
  Jordan take away from KD because he passed Michael Jordan.
• 1:43:44
  I'll tell you what I take away from KD.
• 1:43:46
  He's got 10 Twitter feeds. That's what KD is doing.
• 1:43:49
  He's got Twitter, 10 Twitter accounts reaching out to people
• 1:43:52
  and cursing people out. Does Michael Jordan do that?
• 1:43:55
  Does Michael Jordan go and talk about politics after the game?
• 1:43:58
  Never does, Michael. Jordan will cuss you out.
• 1:44:00
  He used the word ML. It's been recorded, documented.
• 1:44:04
  Please people, please. But will.
• 1:44:06
  He do it on his fifth Instagram account that he uses.
• 1:44:10
  He pretends he's like his nephew.
• 1:44:12
  Like. Best friend.
• 1:44:13
  Me getting my message across and keeping my endorsement deals or
• 1:44:17
  me being this superhero to Errol and Fish and and losing millions
• 1:44:22
  of dollars in endorsements because I'm tough if I do it for
• 1:44:25
  my. Hero.
• 1:44:27
  Superheroes. All we have is our heroes.
• 1:44:29
  Superhero like we got it's. Called Intelligence hold.
• 1:44:34
  Hold on, hold on one second. Hold on one second.
• 1:44:38
  Hold on one second. You just said super.
• 1:44:40
  You just said superhero. And I'm going to tell you this.
• 1:44:43
  I hated Michael Jordan. I hated him.
• 1:44:46
  I'm a Knick fan, but guess what? I don't hideaway from greatness
• 1:44:49
  and Kevin, Kevin Durant is uncomparable to Michael Jordan.
• 1:44:53
  You can't even come close to compare we've.
• 1:44:56
  Surpassed our He. Didn't compare nothing.
• 1:44:58
  Michael Jordan play less games. Less games, a lot more.
• 1:45:02
  Less games. All right, we, we, we got to put
• 1:45:06
  a plug in this one. We're going to run that time for
• 1:45:09
  the other topic. Speedy, real quick on this one.
• 1:45:11
  What do you got for us on KD? I mean, yeah.
• 1:45:13
  It was bound to happen. I I think especially actually
• 1:45:15
  with the team he's on now with a young team, he's going to still
• 1:45:17
  be this prolific scorer to get to that point.
• 1:45:20
  And yeah, it was only a matter of time that all these records
• 1:45:22
  are meant to be broken in today's era.
• 1:45:25
  All right, what a great take. This next one is something.
• 1:45:31
  So Luca had a 16th technical in the game against who were they
• 1:45:37
  playing now? Goga Bidditse was on the other
• 1:45:40
  team. He said something to Luca that
• 1:45:42
  Luca lost his mind that he got his technical.
• 1:45:45
  Now 16 texts you get an automatic suspension and that
• 1:45:49
  would have been a suspension for him.
• 1:45:51
  He is rescinded back down to 15. The reason why it was rescinded
• 1:45:56
  is the interesting one. Apparently Luca said something
• 1:46:01
  in Serbian during the game. Goga played in Serbia and knows
• 1:46:06
  Serbian and tell him told him in Serbian that he would F word his
• 1:46:11
  whole family in Serbian. Wow, nice.
• 1:46:16
  Cool. So they took the the tech away
• 1:46:18
  from him. Screw the tech.
• 1:46:19
  Probably I would have talking to Goga I.
• 1:46:21
  Would have knocked him out. If anybody talks about my family
• 1:46:24
  like that and tries to talk Serbian or whatever the hell
• 1:46:27
  he's trying to say in my language, in my born language,
• 1:46:31
  I'm going to punch that guy out. So as well as the NBA should,
• 1:46:34
  they should take that technical away from him.
• 1:46:37
  To me, Luca Dodgek was only sticking up for his family.
• 1:46:40
  It was, it's horrible to hear. And if I was Luca and Lucas
• 1:46:43
  playing at such a top level, you don't want to lose your star
• 1:46:46
  player for one game, especially the way they're playing.
• 1:46:48
  So I I don't blame the NBA and the NBA always seems to help
• 1:46:52
  LeBron James, the LJA, the LeBron James Association always
• 1:46:57
  gets their man. And if Luca is a part of LeBron
• 1:47:01
  James's team, one way or another, he's going to get away
• 1:47:03
  with it. So.
• 1:47:04
  Yeah. And it's one of those things
• 1:47:05
  where I think the content of it is good to not give this star
• 1:47:10
  treatment to this could have happened with anybody too.
• 1:47:11
  But it's definitely good that they NBA knows how corrupt their
• 1:47:14
  referees could be, especially with all these different
• 1:47:16
  language barriers. Yeah, I'm not with the I'm
• 1:47:20
  rescinding. I think that they should get
• 1:47:21
  they should keep the tack on. I don't think they I'm anti
• 1:47:25
  taking money from the athletes when these situations happen.
• 1:47:27
  But if you're cool, I mean because someone says they're
• 1:47:31
  going to help your mom that hardly don't even know your mom
• 1:47:34
  or your family. You just you just lose your
• 1:47:37
  temperature and just. Hold.
• 1:47:39
  On the professional and on this day, that's all that matters if
• 1:47:43
  I'm in the other. If I'm on the other side of the
• 1:47:45
  line and I'm an offensive player, I'm playing for, I don't
• 1:47:49
  know, I'm playing for the Buffalo Bills and you're playing
• 1:47:52
  for The Jets and I say something about your mom.
• 1:47:54
  What are you going to do with me?
• 1:47:57
  No, you're going to close. You're.
• 1:47:58
  Going to try to lose thousands you're.
• 1:48:00
  Going to try to close I. Really want you like sticks and
• 1:48:05
  stones, right? That's what you say.
• 1:48:07
  Is that what you say Sticks and stones will break my bones lose?
• 1:48:10
  All this money just because you said hey, after your mom, you.
• 1:48:14
  Say that now you. Say that now you say that now in
• 1:48:21
  a professional football game that we're just nice and saying,
• 1:48:25
  hey, how you doing? And each other.
• 1:48:27
  And warm weapons. Cute, dirty.
• 1:48:30
  Cute. That's so is after fights in in
• 1:48:33
  any professional sport. They all go on the ground and
• 1:48:35
  they're dirty. I mean, I, I know football
• 1:48:38
  players that punch. People, I'm going to get a tick.
• 1:48:40
  What are we talking about? I.
• 1:48:42
  Know people that will in football, I've heard football
• 1:48:45
  players say they they've laid on top of quarterbacks and punch
• 1:48:48
  them in the, you know, the knockers over there.
• 1:48:50
  So you're going to tell me right now they're not going to fight
• 1:48:53
  dirty, You're going to fight dirty.
• 1:48:54
  If I say something at the line of scrimmage and I say something
• 1:48:56
  about your mom, you're gonna try to kill me.
• 1:48:58
  You're gonna try to clothesline me or run after me and try to
• 1:49:01
  dispose him? I go out here and give you 50.
• 1:49:08
  I go out and give you 60 and say, all right, your mom all.
• 1:49:11
  Right, ladies and gentlemen, you know Q's mother tastes like
• 1:49:15
  honey, not Cheerios, you know? You've never seen her.
• 1:49:18
  You never met her. The.
• 1:49:20
  Old the old Lala technique. Yeah.
• 1:49:22
  So you know what I mean. He's like, or you could do like
• 1:49:25
  Carmelo and say, hey, meet me in the back and let's talk about
• 1:49:27
  that. And Watermelo.
• 1:49:30
  Always like acted really tough about it too, but I don't know
• 1:49:32
  if he was actually tough. No, he would.
• 1:49:34
  Have get his ass built up he. Would have gotten his ass.
• 1:49:36
  I would be not. So you're going to give Luca
• 1:49:38
  tough of getting A tag, but the man who went behind the scenes
• 1:49:43
  into the How do we know that? Is true.
• 1:49:47
  How do we know? How do we know it's true?
• 1:49:49
  No, Their footage? What?
• 1:49:52
  That wasn't even their bus the. Boss was gone the but that
• 1:49:56
  wasn't his bus. His bus was gone, waiting for
• 1:49:59
  camera. Garnet the.
• 1:50:01
  Bus was gone. Dude that he was there.
• 1:50:08
  That bus that he was standing next to, that wasn't Kevin
• 1:50:12
  Garnett's bus. They were gone it.
• 1:50:14
  Wasn't they? Were gone he.
• 1:50:15
  Was there waiting for Kevin Garner he.
• 1:50:17
  Was waiting because he knew he wasn't there, that's why.
• 1:50:21
  So he just killed the time, yeah.
• 1:50:22
  Pretty much trying to be a tough guy, trying to be a tough guy.
• 1:50:27
  Well, I remember Carmelo throwing punches at a certain
• 1:50:31
  friend of the show on the Knicks Once Upon a time.
• 1:50:34
  That looked kind of wild. And I would trust Kevin Garnett
• 1:50:37
  to win that fight against Carmelo, if that actually.
• 1:50:40
  Could absolutely Kevin Garner so.
• 1:50:41
  Would I in this? Case and that do nothing
• 1:50:43
  interesting you know I wonder I wonder what would happen I
• 1:50:46
  wonder not that tough and it's OK I.
• 1:50:49
  Think maybe the rule the moral of the story is basketball
• 1:50:52
  players not that tough they. Not some of them are.
• 1:50:56
  So they say, what's his face on the heat?
• 1:50:57
  He got it's like 30. 6 Johnson was it.
• 1:51:00
  It's an. Accepted to the ruin and
• 1:51:02
  everything so. Everyone's got somebody who's
• 1:51:05
  like a ninja in there. All right, last one, let's just
• 1:51:08
  talk about the playoff picture right now, starting off with the
• 1:51:11
  Western Conference. The Thunder and Spurs have the
• 1:51:14
  top 2 seeds locked up. It looks like Oklahoma City's
• 1:51:17
  going to hold on. They're up three games.
• 1:51:20
  Let's see, we're at about 11 games left for both teams, so
• 1:51:26
  that's already over. The next thing that talk about
• 1:51:28
  is who's going to have to play in the playing game.
• 1:51:30
  And the Suns are kind of stuck in that 7 C, They have forty
• 1:51:34
  wins. The teams above them, they'll
• 1:51:36
  have 44. So they're going to need some
• 1:51:38
  help. The Lakers are in 3rd right now
• 1:51:40
  with their winning streak. They're nine and one in their
• 1:51:42
  last 10. They're at 46 and 25. the
• 1:51:45
  Rockets are at 4th. Everyone's actually tied but
• 1:51:49
  statistically slightly ahead 43 and 27.
• 1:51:52
  Then the Nuggets and Timberwolves are both 44 and 28
• 1:51:55
  for the five and six seeds in the play in game are going to be
• 1:51:59
  the Suns. If they can't break into that
• 1:52:01
  group. The Clippers who are under 500
• 1:52:04
  along with the Trail Blazers and Golden State.
• 1:52:07
  Looks like Golden State will end up in the play in game even
• 1:52:10
  though they are hot garbage. What do you think about that
• 1:52:12
  Western Conference? There's really nothing to say.
• 1:52:15
  We expect OKC to be the number one seed.
• 1:52:17
  They've been the best team in the NBA all season long and, and
• 1:52:22
  play dominant basketball. So we expected that.
• 1:52:24
  And the Spurs be #2 there's a lot of questions with the Spurs.
• 1:52:27
  Can they get into the playoffs and win big games?
• 1:52:31
  We've seen it this year. They've played good teams and
• 1:52:33
  they've played at a high level and they played bad teams and
• 1:52:36
  played at a low level. They've got a tremendous team.
• 1:52:38
  They got a bunch of good young players.
• 1:52:40
  I, I love Dylan Harper, I love webbing.
• 1:52:43
  Yama has been very, very good. I, I, he's been a lot better
• 1:52:46
  than I thought he was going to be.
• 1:52:47
  And Castle, he's been sensational too.
• 1:52:49
  So they've got a ton of great players.
• 1:52:51
  Darren Fox is still there. They've Got Talent.
• 1:52:55
  As far as the Lakers are concerned, I expect the Lakers
• 1:52:58
  to stay at three. I, I think the Lakers are the
• 1:53:00
  third seed. They're, they played very well
• 1:53:02
  against the Knicks this year. We've watched them play.
• 1:53:04
  I've watched them play at a high level.
• 1:53:06
  They're playing right now. If you look at they've won nine
• 1:53:09
  games in a row. They're the hottest besides,
• 1:53:12
  besides the Thunder right now have won eleven games in a row.
• 1:53:15
  They are the hottest team in the NBA and they're playing such a,
• 1:53:18
  such a, such a high level. So the Lakers, the Rockets are
• 1:53:21
  the dangerous team out of all these teams from the Nuggets,
• 1:53:25
  the Timberwolves, the Suns, the Clippers, Trail Blazers, all
• 1:53:27
  these teams, the Rockets, whoever matches up against the
• 1:53:30
  Rockets moving forward in this tournament, they've got a ton of
• 1:53:33
  young talent. They're they have a very good
• 1:53:34
  coach who needs to stay away from the women.
• 1:53:36
  But if he stays away from away from the women, this guy is a
• 1:53:40
  great coach at a high level. He's been coach of the year and
• 1:53:43
  they have Kevin Durant who can score at a high clip.
• 1:53:46
  But we've seen Kevin Durant in big games not score at a high
• 1:53:50
  clip. So what Kevin Garnett, what
• 1:53:52
  Kevin Durant is going to show up week in and week out for the
• 1:53:56
  next couple of weeks until the playoffs?
• 1:53:58
  That's the question. And hopefully they keep him
• 1:54:00
  healthy because Kevin Durant has a move over the years with
• 1:54:04
  Golden State, with OKC. He was never 100% healthy in any
• 1:54:08
  of those years. So he has to stay healthy.
• 1:54:09
  He's an older guy. I want to see him play at a high
• 1:54:12
  level. And we remember the Chris Paul
• 1:54:14
  times with James Harden. They could never get over the
• 1:54:17
  hump and play at a high level because they couldn't keep
• 1:54:19
  health. And that's that's the most
• 1:54:21
  important thing, staying healthy and being healthy for the
• 1:54:23
  playoffs. Yeah, I was always on the
• 1:54:24
  Nuggets for a while for much of the season as being the number
• 1:54:26
  2, the biggest threat to OK C but they've started to struggle
• 1:54:29
  this last couple months. We'll see if they get back on
• 1:54:31
  track. It's the.
• 1:54:32
  Rockets. Yeah, the Rockets are
• 1:54:33
  interesting because they've not played as well offensively as a
• 1:54:36
  team in the second-half of the season, but defensively they're
• 1:54:38
  still one of the best teams. Like you said, Durant could take
• 1:54:40
  over a game at any time if he does stay healthy.
• 1:54:42
  That's very interesting. The Spurs, they're very
• 1:54:44
  well-rounded. They probably they look like the
• 1:54:46
  second best team in the NBA right now, but they're very
• 1:54:47
  young all at once. OKC is obviously they're crowned
• 1:54:50
  until somebody takes it. Yeah, I think OKC is the
• 1:54:53
  favorite to come out. I think I was with you, Speedy
• 1:54:56
  as you. It's my first time ever
• 1:54:58
  disagreeing with you. I don't know what's up with you
• 1:54:59
  tonight, but I think that the Spurs Wimby is still tender.
• 1:55:06
  I think he's about to offseason away from being a total dominant
• 1:55:09
  player right now. I don't think he's going to be
• 1:55:10
  able to stay and sustain health in a long series.
• 1:55:15
  So if it matches up with them in OK CI, think OK C beat them at
• 1:55:19
  4243 at at worst. But I do think that Denver is a
• 1:55:24
  sleeper. Another team that nobody's
• 1:55:26
  really talking about is the Timberwolves.
• 1:55:28
  I think the Timberwolves have exactly what they need.
• 1:55:31
  I think they have missed the mark from a schematic precision
• 1:55:37
  in the playoffs as of lately. But I do think they have all the
• 1:55:41
  talent and the ability to knock one of the big guys out.
• 1:55:44
  But I do think is he the OKC Denver is the favorites out of
• 1:55:49
  the West. No way.
• 1:55:51
  Houston is definitely going to be one of the Houston.
• 1:55:53
  Doesn't have an offense. They don't have an offense.
• 1:55:57
  Talking about Love have an offense he's.
• 1:55:58
  Not favorite, but he didn't have an offense they.
• 1:56:01
  Have an offense forget. The game, they struggle with
• 1:56:03
  scoring. Really.
• 1:56:05
  Yes, really. I'm watching.
• 1:56:06
  I watch the game, OK, That's what I show.
• 1:56:08
  You So they struggle with scoring, but they're still
• 1:56:10
  putting up 100 points a game. Because nobody plays stop.
• 1:56:14
  They're a good defensive team. They're a good offensive team.
• 1:56:16
  You. Get to the payouts, they shrink
• 1:56:19
  down the court yes, it becomes a moment it becomes a half court
• 1:56:22
  game it. Becomes a half court game and
• 1:56:25
  you're going to tell me right now the Nuggets have a better
• 1:56:27
  team and a better roster than the Rockets They.
• 1:56:29
  Don't they don't, Errol, as far as scoring, they actually are
• 1:56:34
  like the third lowest of all the 10 teams that are in the West
• 1:56:39
  picture right now that we just mentioned.
• 1:56:41
  So there are lower scoring teams.
• 1:56:42
  It's been more second-half of the year.
• 1:56:44
  I I was on this as well with Houston and they're scoring kind
• 1:56:47
  of going down. There's not running really great
• 1:56:50
  offense right now. I think it might just be like a
• 1:56:52
  weird meshing situation with the old KD all.
• 1:56:55
  Right, all right, all right, so so they're scoring.
• 1:56:58
  I you're just saying they don't score a lot.
• 1:57:00
  All right, all right, here we go.
• 1:57:03
  Here we go. Here we go.
• 1:57:04
  Let me let me let me say something here.
• 1:57:06
  Rockets and Spurs. They they scored 120.
• 1:57:10
  Rockets and Raptors 113. Rockets and Nuggets, the lowest
• 1:57:14
  score they have was 93. Now look 1O7921-O116117123
• 1:57:23
  tonight they're going to score of 100.
• 1:57:24
  They're not a bad scoring team. And in the playoffs it becomes a
• 1:57:29
  defensive game. And guess what?
• 1:57:30
  the Rockets are one of the best defensive teams in the whole.
• 1:57:34
  Yes, they are. They're not.
• 1:57:36
  Yes, they're not. Why still play?
• 1:57:39
  Did you see what happened when they played the?
• 1:57:42
  Lakers. Oh please, the Lakers.
• 1:57:49
  Remember I said this? Remember I said this.
• 1:57:51
  The Rockets are the team watched they're.
• 1:57:53
  Not so they're. Scary because of their talent
• 1:57:55
  potential, but they're not going to be any type of threat in the
• 1:57:58
  playoffs. OK.
• 1:57:59
  And so and so are your Celtics. So are your Celtics?
• 1:58:03
  No. That's just going on the way,
• 1:58:04
  yeah. All right.
• 1:58:05
  Those Celtics, Eastern Conference, real quick.
• 1:58:07
  Those Celtics have fallen back a little bit.
• 1:58:09
  They're only a half game ahead of the Knicks right now for a
• 1:58:14
  second. Obviously the Pistons are 51 to
• 1:58:17
  19, but they lost Cade, so that's a problem.
• 1:58:20
  Cavs are at 4th right now, and those are pretty much going to
• 1:58:23
  be the top four in some order. Then you have the Raptors and
• 1:58:27
  Hawks in a dead Heat for 5:00 and 6:00 with the Sixers.
• 1:58:31
  The Magic and the Heat and the Hornets are all within two games
• 1:58:34
  of each other, five through 10, and the Bucks are not going to
• 1:58:39
  make it. So those are the only teams that
• 1:58:40
  are available. But it's a real crapshoot
• 1:58:43
  between 5:00 and 10:00 who's going to have to be in that
• 1:58:45
  playing game between Toronto, Atlanta, who have the spots
• 1:58:48
  right now? Technically, the Sixers, the
• 1:58:51
  Magic, the Heat and the Hornets. Well, the Celtics have the
• 1:58:54
  easier schedule out of the two, so they should hold on to that
• 1:58:57
  number two seed. But they were the number 2C when
• 1:59:00
  they played the Knicks in the second round last year and we
• 1:59:02
  know what happened and I don't want to hear that Tatum went
• 1:59:04
  down. He was down at the end of the
• 1:59:06
  third game when they got their butts whipped so and they were
• 1:59:09
  down 3 to nothing. Who's won recently?
• 1:59:12
  What? And we were up by 20.
• 1:59:14
  But it's a championship hangover.
• 1:59:17
  But who? Who's won recently?
• 1:59:18
  Such as or or the OR Knicks. What do?
• 1:59:20
  You mean who's won lately? Like who's Ashley won
• 1:59:23
  championships in the games? Oh.
• 1:59:24
  Stop with this championship crap, no.
• 1:59:27
  What are we talking about there? What do you mean?
• 1:59:28
  Are we talking about recreation? No, we're talking.
• 1:59:32
  About this year, we're talking about this year, this year.
• 1:59:36
  Not in the past, buddy. Not.
• 1:59:39
  No matter what. All right, when the Knicks match
• 1:59:42
  up against the Celtics, we'll have a bet.
• 1:59:45
  And if you lose, you got to do something stupid on the show,
• 1:59:47
  OK? I ain't worried about losing.
• 1:59:52
  Remember, you said that you're going to have to do something.
• 1:59:54
  Stupid if there's an injury that's got a shopping I.
• 1:59:56
  Don't want to hear that. I don't want to hear injury.
• 1:59:59
  We will. We will definitely come back to
• 2:00:02
  this. We got a couple of bits that we
• 2:00:03
  can do that to come back to this speedy.
• 2:00:07
  Real quickly, what do you got for us with those playing that
• 2:00:10
  play in mix that five through 10?
• 2:00:12
  I would say the Miami Heat definitely with the coaching is
• 2:00:15
  definitely the, I think the best shot.
• 2:00:16
  Toronto got the upside they're they want to, I really trust.
• 2:00:20
  None, Errol. We got our guest in the
• 2:00:22
  backstage. Got one thing we got to do
• 2:00:24
  still. Yes, and ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:00:26
  we call this the Golf Clap of the Week.
• 2:00:30
  This deserves a golf clap, no? Doubt.
• 2:00:33
  Golf clap. Golf clap.
• 2:00:37
  And ladies and gentlemen, the Golf Club of the week goes to
• 2:00:40
  the Seattle Seahawks as they sign their stud, their stud wide
• 2:00:44
  receiver to a four year, $168 million contract and listen to
• 2:00:50
  this deal. He is the highest paid wide
• 2:00:53
  receiver in the NFL now over Jamar Chase 42.15 million per
• 2:00:59
  year and $120 million guaranteed to JSN Jackson Smith and the jig
• 2:01:06
  by his been the best wide receiver.
• 2:01:08
  You can argue him and you know the one over there with the Rams
• 2:01:12
  who had a great season all season long.
• 2:01:14
  Puka Nakua. These two guys are are the best
• 2:01:17
  young wide receivers in the NFL and Jackson Smith Njikbar
• 2:01:20
  deserves it. He had a great playoff run and
• 2:01:23
  and he played at a high level all season long and doing what
• 2:01:26
  he was doing over there with the Seattle Seahawks with a young
• 2:01:29
  quarter. Well, not a young quarterback, a
• 2:01:31
  rookie quarterback in Seattle because he was just signed,
• 2:01:33
  signed a three-year deal in in, I'm sorry, Sam Darnold, who he
• 2:01:40
  had to learn the offense on the fly in the in the offseason and
• 2:01:43
  then have an opportunity to play with Jackson Smith and Jigball.
• 2:01:46
  This was a great year for JSN and and very well deserved.
• 2:01:50
  They need to pay his they need to pay their young superstar and
• 2:01:53
  they did and off they go. As I expect Jackson Smith and
• 2:01:57
  Jig better have another good season and play at a high level.
• 2:02:00
  So congratulations to JSN getting his 168, $1,000,000 and
• 2:02:08
  that's a sell. And you can send that off to,
• 2:02:11
  you know, anybody you want. I mean, I, I, I've been watching
• 2:02:14
  a lot of Top Gun. Yeah.
• 2:02:16
  Anybody watch Top Gun? I've watched the movie a million
• 2:02:18
  times and I'm watching the Maverick movie.
• 2:02:20
  I've seen it's on Showtime all the time now.
• 2:02:23
  So every time I pop on the TV, I'm watching it.
• 2:02:25
  I'm like, oh, I like this movie. I'm watching it.
• 2:02:27
  It's it's a great speed. I got a great question in Top
• 2:02:30
  Top Gun, but you have to watch the movie before I ask you that
• 2:02:34
  question. Anyways, have you seen the new
• 2:02:37
  Top Gun? I did.
• 2:02:38
  I did. OK.
• 2:02:39
  Do you remember the last shot that Maverick had before he
• 2:02:44
  loses all his bullets to knock down the plane?
• 2:02:46
  Do you remember what number? That was the number.
• 2:02:50
  I'll give you a hint. He was a former great New York
• 2:02:53
  Knick. 33. That's right, Patrick.
• 2:03:00
  I thought it was. A three.
• 2:03:01
  I wasn't sure if it was 33 or 31.
• 2:03:03
  It's a good question. It's a good question.
• 2:03:06
  All right, when we come back, ladies and gentlemen, he's been
• 2:03:09
  waiting and we're very happy to have him on.
• 2:03:11
  He's a friend of the show and also a friend of our new Co host
• 2:03:16
  Mr. Q himself. We will be talking to former
• 2:03:19
  Jaguars, Broncos and Cowboys defensive end Jeremy Minsi.
• 2:03:23
  But first, our sports minutes. The New York sports loudmouth
• 2:03:30
  sportsman at. What is up everybody?
• 2:03:35
  Aaron Fishman here with your sportsman.
• 2:03:37
  It got a couple of stories before we get into the scores
• 2:03:39
  this evening. In news that will hopefully
• 2:03:42
  rejuvenate Central New York basketball fans, the Syracuse
• 2:03:46
  Orange announced on Sunday that they are hiring former Siena
• 2:03:49
  head coach and former championship winning point guard
• 2:03:52
  for the Orange, Jerry McNamara as their new coach.
• 2:03:56
  After relieving Adrian Autry of his duties when the Orange
• 2:03:59
  missed the tournament for the third straight year a week ago,
• 2:04:02
  Autry went 49 and 48 with the Orange who are looking to their
• 2:04:06
  past to fix the present in one of the programs heroes.
• 2:04:10
  McNamara seemingly got the job from his Sienna team's
• 2:04:13
  incredible performance this season, making the tournament as
• 2:04:16
  a 16 seed, winning their conference and then giving Duke
• 2:04:19
  everything they could handle in a near upset in round one.
• 2:04:23
  After the game, Duke coached John Shire, considered by some
• 2:04:26
  as one of the best coaches in the college game, made a point
• 2:04:30
  to say that McNamara out coached him while giving Sienna their
• 2:04:33
  flowers. After the round one game, expect
• 2:04:36
  McNamara to bring the grit back to the Syracuse program as his
• 2:04:39
  Sienna players never came off off the court similarly to how
• 2:04:42
  he played instant. Interestingly enough, McNamara
• 2:04:45
  played more man defense than the Bayheim 2/3 he ran in college,
• 2:04:49
  but don't think he doesn't employ it or won't even do it
• 2:04:52
  more with better recruits and a bigger budget.
• 2:04:54
  Back with the Orange, McNamara, who won the 2003 national
• 2:04:58
  championship as a freshman alongside Carmelo Anthony,
• 2:05:01
  played from 2002 to 2006 and joined Bayheim staff shortly
• 2:05:05
  after coaching from 2009 to 2023 before taking the Sienna job.
• 2:05:10
  Being beheim favored pick for the job certainly didn't hurt,
• 2:05:13
  and his experience and reputation give Syracuse the
• 2:05:17
  best chance they could have possibly gotten to become
• 2:05:19
  relevant and maybe even a power once more in college hoops.
• 2:05:24
  And in a story that just makes you want to shake your hand at
• 2:05:28
  the New England Patriots, much like their new QB Two Dozen
• 2:05:32
  celebration, the Patriots announced earlier on Monday that
• 2:05:35
  they have released quarterback Josh Dobbs and are intent on
• 2:05:39
  making the Pride of North Jersey Tommy DeVito the backup for
• 2:05:43
  quarterback Drake May in 2026. DeVito was #3 quarterback last
• 2:05:47
  season after backing up 1 Bad quarterback after another,
• 2:05:52
  including Daniel Jones, until this past season when the Giants
• 2:05:55
  drafted Jackson Dart. DeVito had his moments with Big
• 2:05:58
  Blue including some wins, some antics, and lovable Italian
• 2:06:02
  stereotypes being dusted off for the first time since The
• 2:06:05
  Sopranos ended his run as a top five, if not number one overall
• 2:06:09
  show of all time. The veto will likely be the in
• 2:06:13
  case of emergency brake glass quarterback just like he was
• 2:06:16
  last year, as barring injury, Drake May is going nowhere from
• 2:06:19
  the starting line up after finishing runner up last year to
• 2:06:22
  Matthew Stafford in MVP voting. The Pats are going to have a
• 2:06:25
  hard time making the Super Bowl again after having the 5th
• 2:06:28
  easiest schedule in NFL history according to statisticians.
• 2:06:33
  And although this is great news for DeVito and his fans, if he
• 2:06:38
  has to go in for Drake May 12, Pats fans, you guys can just
• 2:06:42
  forget about it. Guys.

• 2:08:56
  for not the first time, not the second time, not the third time,
• 2:09:01
  but probably the 4th or 5th time he's been on our show.
• 2:09:04
  We're happy to have him on. We are now talking to former
• 2:09:07
  Jaguars, Broncos and Cowboys defensive end, the one we call
• 2:09:11
  Mr. Mincey, Jeremy Mincey Journey.
• 2:09:14
  What's up, buddy? What's happening?
• 2:09:16
  What's happening to everybody? How y'all doing?
• 2:09:18
  Bro. So, so, so we so we went back
• 2:09:25
  and forth. So Q, this is Q's first show as
• 2:09:28
  a partner in the show. And I speedy was asking, well,
• 2:09:33
  who do you want to have on your first show?
• 2:09:35
  And he said, we, we mentioned you and he's like me and Jeremy
• 2:09:38
  are great friends. We, we talk all the time.
• 2:09:40
  And I was like, so Speedy was like, so, so let's, let's get
• 2:09:45
  into your connection with Quinton couples.
• 2:09:47
  All right, because obviously you guys play for opposing teams and
• 2:09:52
  you have to hate each other on a football field.
• 2:09:54
  You can't love each other. You can't have this love fest.
• 2:09:56
  So what do you? Mean you can't.
• 2:09:58
  Love each other, are you? You hate, you can't love another
• 2:10:03
  teammate, another guy playing. Team.
• 2:10:05
  You can't. You can't.
• 2:10:07
  You can all. Right.
• 2:10:09
  Wait a second, you can't. So so.
• 2:10:11
  What? Wait a second.
• 2:10:13
  I love my son, but sometimes when you get out of order you
• 2:10:15
  got to spank him on his butt. Right.
• 2:10:17
  Well, this has nothing to do. Listen, first of all, I don't
• 2:10:20
  want Q or you smacking me on the butt, all right?
• 2:10:24
  There's no way I'm allowing that.
• 2:10:26
  There's no way I'm allowing that.
• 2:10:27
  But the the fact here is when you're playing football against
• 2:10:30
  one another, you're playing for opposing teams, you're not
• 2:10:33
  supposed to like each other at the end of the game.
• 2:10:35
  You want to kiss and make up and you want to, you know, I don't
• 2:10:38
  know what you guys do in your private life, but hey, whatever
• 2:10:40
  you guys like to do, that's great for you, but you got to
• 2:10:43
  hate each other, I mean. You.
• 2:10:46
  Have to. I mean, I mean, I've learned to
• 2:10:51
  hate people into the to the to the score set 00, you know, I
• 2:10:55
  mean 000, you know, so 0. 000. I mean, remember, it's still
• 2:11:00
  entertainment. It's only entertainment.
• 2:11:02
  That's it. This.
• 2:11:03
  Isn't Gladiator. This isn't Gladiator.
• 2:11:05
  This isn't Russell Crowe. Are you entertained?
• 2:11:11
  I mean, I mean, that's just the truth, you know, I mean, like a
• 2:11:15
  lot of us rock with each other, but you know, when the pads on,
• 2:11:18
  I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to do none of that,
• 2:11:21
  not before the game. Now after the game, we could
• 2:11:23
  change jerseys, we go eat some Subway or whatever you want to
• 2:11:27
  do. But when the game on, it's on,
• 2:11:30
  you know, that's just that that comes.
• 2:11:31
  Oh. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 2:11:33
  You're So you're telling me you're a cheap date?
• 2:11:35
  Is that what you're telling me? You're going to take a guy to
• 2:11:38
  Subway? You, you want to go to a steak
• 2:11:40
  dinner? You don't want to go to a I'd
• 2:11:42
  rather go to Applebee's or Friday's before I'm going to
• 2:11:44
  Subway. Why Subway?
• 2:11:47
  I mean, it's a New York, right? It's a New York thing, right?
• 2:11:49
  Everything's a New York thing here.
• 2:11:51
  Everything's a New York. Thing.
• 2:11:56
  Hey, listen. You guys.
• 2:11:58
  Are professional athletes. You guys are making the dough?
• 2:12:00
  I mean, take me to a steak dinner.
• 2:12:02
  Yeah, I'm. I'm not a cheap date.
• 2:12:04
  If Q comes out here, I'm taking him to a steak dinner.
• 2:12:08
  Yeah, that's, that's, I mean that's true.
• 2:12:09
  But I'm just using that, you know, as a little, you know,
• 2:12:13
  little poke, a little fun in the New York, you know, the New York
• 2:12:16
  Times. The New York Times, Wall Street
• 2:12:20
  Journal. We don't have new space
• 2:12:22
  newspapers here anymore. Nobody wants to write.
• 2:12:25
  They're going on social media. They're posting up crap.
• 2:12:27
  We got Kevin Durant, who owns like 10 Twitter pages.
• 2:12:31
  Nobody cares about newspapers anymore.
• 2:12:34
  They care about how many people are following this guy, how many
• 2:12:37
  people are following Jeremy Mincey, how many people are
• 2:12:40
  watching his YouTube channel. That's all they care about now.
• 2:12:43
  They don't care what you're writing.
• 2:12:44
  It's so wrong. I just don't understand it.
• 2:12:47
  These young kids, we got zoot in the background and Dom, all
• 2:12:50
  these interns, these guys that they're just like the new age
• 2:12:53
  personalities and and back end interns that are going to want
• 2:12:57
  to do this and want to be a part of this business in the future.
• 2:13:00
  They they are they're like that new age type of person, you
• 2:13:04
  know, personality or journalist that we want or we're we're
• 2:13:08
  looking for in the future and us we're all guys.
• 2:13:11
  I mean, QQ is a little bit younger than me.
• 2:13:14
  Nine years, yeah. Yeah, yeah, don't.
• 2:13:16
  You don't you do a job of Chamberlain thing.
• 2:13:18
  Don't you do a job of Chamberlain?
• 2:13:21
  Don't you do that? Don't you do that?
• 2:13:23
  You're making it seem like I'm as old as dirt.
• 2:13:25
  I'm not as old as Moses. I wasn't born in the BC's, I was
• 2:13:29
  born now. So I'm a little bit older than
• 2:13:31
  you. I'm about 9 or 8 years old.
• 2:13:33
  Celebrate 50 this year, so that's cool.
• 2:13:35
  Get out of here. I'm now.
• 2:13:37
  You're really making it seem like I'm old.
• 2:13:39
  But Jeremy, you, you watch the game this year and your Broncos
• 2:13:44
  and, and I'll say this, I'll be very, very nice.
• 2:13:47
  The Broncos got very lucky. This whole Josh Allen thing and
• 2:13:50
  how Josh Allen was screwed to play in the AFC title game
• 2:13:54
  because that ball was caught by by Cooks and for some reason the
• 2:14:00
  referee took it away from him that it was ripped out of his
• 2:14:02
  hands. He was down on his knees.
• 2:14:04
  He had the ball, he had control of the ball.
• 2:14:06
  But somehow the Broncos got lucky.
• 2:14:08
  They took the ball right back down the field and they won the
• 2:14:10
  game and they played the Patriots in the AFC title game
• 2:14:13
  and we all know what happened. Do you believe that was a catch?
• 2:14:16
  Yes or no? Do you?
• 2:14:17
  Absolutely. I'm, I'm listen, I've been
• 2:14:19
  through that before. That was that it seemed like the
• 2:14:21
  same scenario that happened with US versus Green Bay in 2014.
• 2:14:27
  Go look at that. It's exact.
• 2:14:29
  It's like it's it's like they want who they want to win.
• 2:14:32
  Sometimes I feel you know, so it is what it is so.
• 2:14:36
  You're so you're telling me that the NFL is rigged?
• 2:14:39
  Is that what you're telling it? I wouldn't.
• 2:14:42
  I wouldn't say that. I would just say, you know, you
• 2:14:45
  know, don't. Lie to us now, mysterious.
• 2:14:48
  Things I mean, think about, if you think about that sequence,
• 2:14:52
  you just, you just said, right? And compare that to the Dallas
• 2:14:56
  Cowboys 2014, that sounds so similar.
• 2:15:02
  And Rogers came right back and scored after they ruled that
• 2:15:08
  incomplete by there. So it's the same to me.
• 2:15:11
  It's the same, same scenario. That's kind of fishy if you
• 2:15:15
  think about it. Do you think they beat the New
• 2:15:18
  England Patriots if Bo Nicks was healthy?
• 2:15:20
  Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
• 2:15:24
  So their acquisitions to this offseason, they added a wide
• 2:15:27
  receiver and Jalen Waddle. They now they had an explosive
• 2:15:30
  wide receiver, a guy that can go out there and catch the ball in
• 2:15:34
  a, in a Sean Payton offense. I mean, he's explosive.
• 2:15:36
  They have Courtland Sutton, they're they're explosive.
• 2:15:39
  They have a good running game. I don't think they have any
• 2:15:42
  weaknesses, including their defense.
• 2:15:43
  Are they the favorites? Are coming out of the AFC and
• 2:15:45
  why? I don't know.
• 2:15:46
  It's going to be a toss up. You know, the AFC is always
• 2:15:51
  tricky. You know, one year you got the
• 2:15:54
  Texans might going to run, then you got Jaguars going to run.
• 2:15:58
  I mean, since Brady left, it's for the taking for anybody.
• 2:16:00
  Since Brady and Manning been gone and and Big Ben and all
• 2:16:04
  those greats, like it's up for grabs, man.
• 2:16:07
  And it's going to be exciting year this year to watch.
• 2:16:11
  What was the Jaguar year? No, Jack, the Jags didn't do
• 2:16:15
  bad. I mean, come on, cute.
• 2:16:18
  We've beaten you guys. Everybody beats the New York
• 2:16:27
  Jets. Everybody beats the New York
• 2:16:29
  Jets. You attacking The Jets?
• 2:16:33
  I'm a Jets fan, but it's the truth.
• 2:16:36
  It's not a. Lie.
• 2:16:37
  It's not Q. Come on, we lying to each other
• 2:16:41
  here. The Jets organization has been a
• 2:16:43
  debacle. An absolute debacle, an
• 2:16:46
  organization that doesn't know how to pick a coach, doesn't
• 2:16:49
  know how to pick AGM. Now, maybe they're right.
• 2:16:51
  I, I think they're in a really good position.
• 2:16:53
  I think Darren emoji emoji is, is going to be a good GM.
• 2:16:56
  He's proving to me that he knows what he's doing.
• 2:16:58
  We still are waiting to see what Aaron Glenn is all about.
• 2:17:02
  And that's going to take one more year.
• 2:17:03
  And, and if he doesn't put up or shut up this year, he's going to
• 2:17:06
  be gone and The Jets are going to be looking for yet again,
• 2:17:09
  another head coach. So I, we're not going to lie to
• 2:17:12
  each other here. I'm a Jet fan, but I'm not going
• 2:17:15
  to sit here and say, well, you know, The Jets, they're a semi
• 2:17:18
  good organization. They're a terrible run
• 2:17:21
  organization. So with the Giants, the Giants,
• 2:17:23
  Giants haven't won anything since 2011.
• 2:17:25
  OK. The Giants have been a debacle
• 2:17:27
  of an organization too. We all know what was going on
• 2:17:30
  with Steve Tisch a couple of couple of months ago.
• 2:17:33
  We know the whole Epstein thing and he should be losing his
• 2:17:36
  position over there with the Giants.
• 2:17:37
  John Mayra. Oh, he just decides to get rid
• 2:17:40
  of their best, most explosive player in team history for
• 2:17:43
  nothing. That made a lot of sense.
• 2:17:45
  And then they you know, they give Daniel Jones a big time
• 2:17:47
  contract and he and they bring in a Waller who Waller it was in
• 2:17:52
  and out. The guy couldn't stay healthy.
• 2:17:54
  I mean, everything the Giants have done, everything The Jets
• 2:17:57
  have done over the last couple years, they they've fallen flat
• 2:17:59
  on their face. So New York football has been
• 2:18:01
  garbage, except the Buffalo Bills.
• 2:18:04
  And that's why I think the Buffalo Bills adding DJ Moore
• 2:18:08
  this offseason gives them just as good a chance as the Broncos.
• 2:18:12
  I think those are the two most reliable teams in the AFC this
• 2:18:15
  year. Same results, different year.
• 2:18:20
  I don't know, I think my Jaguar is going to surprise you.
• 2:18:25
  We've been in the playoffs 40 y'all man, these last two years
• 2:18:29
  we've been to the playoffs more than you guys.
• 2:18:33
  I mean, but but we were still a step ahead.
• 2:18:36
  You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, hey, at least we
• 2:18:45
  get the, at least we get the T-shirts.
• 2:18:49
  Don't go. To Africa.
• 2:18:51
  Hey, hey, hey, Jeremy. The only thing that you guys
• 2:18:54
  have on your team is a mascot, and his name is the Gremlin.
• 2:18:57
  OK, that's it. Travis the Gremlin Hunter.
• 2:19:01
  I hate Travis so bad. Why?
• 2:19:02
  Do I hate him so bad? Well, I met him at the Heisman.
• 2:19:06
  I met him. You're the best, Trevor.
• 2:19:08
  I'm I want. To hear the story.
• 2:19:10
  So I so I went to the Heisman Trophy dinner, all right.
• 2:19:13
  It was my first Heisman Trophy dinner and I thought Ashton
• 2:19:16
  Genti should have won the Heisman German Trophy.
• 2:19:18
  That's that was my opinion. I thought he.
• 2:19:20
  I agree with that. I thought he was the best
• 2:19:22
  player. So did every single media person
• 2:19:24
  there thought that he should have won, including the
• 2:19:27
  quarterbacks that were there and so?
• 2:19:29
  How did he got with? So so.
• 2:19:30
  Hold on, media. Player.
• 2:19:32
  So hold on. So Deion Sanders was there and
• 2:19:35
  Deion Sanders was, you know, you know, Deion Sanders, he likes to
• 2:19:39
  open his mouth. And so we were up there and they
• 2:19:43
  were taking pictures with the Heisman Trophy before they were
• 2:19:45
  going to the stage. And he was talking to Ward
• 2:19:49
  about, you know, Cam Ward about playing here in New York.
• 2:19:53
  And he he was like, yeah, yeah. He's like, I, I, I like The Jets
• 2:19:56
  and the Giants. He said The Jets.
• 2:19:58
  Why would you want to play for The Jets?
• 2:20:00
  And I looked at, I looked at Travis Hunter and I said, and
• 2:20:02
  who are you playing for? Who's going to draft you if
• 2:20:05
  you're a top five? Pick a crappy team.
• 2:20:08
  And by the way, we don't need you because we have a guy named
• 2:20:11
  Sauce who's much better than you.
• 2:20:12
  And I walked right past him and we had Scooby on the show from
• 2:20:16
  the Wall Street Journal who came and he said, I cannot believe
• 2:20:19
  you said that in front of the media.
• 2:20:21
  He said, I can't believe you said that as loud as you did to
• 2:20:24
  the media. And, and I, I told him straight
• 2:20:26
  out, I walked right out of the room and Travis Hunter gave me
• 2:20:29
  one of these, one of these looks that you want to RIP my freaking
• 2:20:32
  head off my body. And I'll never forget when he
• 2:20:35
  came back in, when he won the Heisman Trophy, I was sitting
• 2:20:40
  right in front of him and I raised my hand and he would not
• 2:20:42
  answer my question. So that's why I hate Travis
• 2:20:46
  Hunter. I don't like him.
• 2:20:48
  I don't like him. I I, I think to me, giving him
• 2:20:51
  the name the gremlin, I mean, maybe that gives him some kind
• 2:20:54
  of abbreviation to his name. I mean, nobody.
• 2:20:57
  He's a failure. I I said to everybody, he wasn't
• 2:21:00
  going to. He wasn't going to have more
• 2:21:01
  than a touchdown this. Year go with this failure he's
• 2:21:03
  a. Failure.
• 2:21:10
  He played 10 games. He's not a wide receiver.
• 2:21:15
  You can say that he sticks. By the way, our executive
• 2:21:19
  producer, Mr. Aaron Fish Fishman said he's going to be a better
• 2:21:22
  wide receiver. I said Nope, he's going to be a
• 2:21:24
  better corner in the league. That would be the only way he
• 2:21:26
  was going to be successful. I said that he was going to be a
• 2:21:29
  corner and he should not be playing two way bit football.
• 2:21:33
  I never thought he should be a wide receiver.
• 2:21:35
  He just I don't know if he has it in him.
• 2:21:37
  I, I, I look at the wide receivers and the athletic gifts
• 2:21:40
  that these and I'm not saying he's not athletically gifted.
• 2:21:42
  I just think I look at Jamar Chase, you look at Jefferson,
• 2:21:45
  all these guys, they're great route runners.
• 2:21:47
  I don't think Travis Hunter is a great route runner.
• 2:21:50
  That's my opinion. Watching him play college ball.
• 2:21:52
  He played for a team in Colorado.
• 2:21:54
  Who did they play? How many top 25 defenses did he
• 2:21:57
  play the his final year to win a Heisman Trophy?
• 2:22:00
  Why? Because he played corner and he
• 2:22:02
  was a wide receiver. He won the Heisman Trophy.
• 2:22:04
  No, because Deon Sanders was sitting up there every single
• 2:22:07
  week saying I've got the best player in the world and he plays
• 2:22:11
  like me. Yeah, give me a break.
• 2:22:14
  To me he. Probably was the best player
• 2:22:16
  though. He wasn't.
• 2:22:17
  Best athlete for sure. He was, yeah, because he played
• 2:22:20
  22. Positions when he was in color,
• 2:22:22
  nobody was touching him. Hold on one second.
• 2:22:26
  So you're telling me? Athlete wise.
• 2:22:28
  Athlete wise. So you're telling me so?
• 2:22:30
  He is a superb athlete. Yeah, best athlete.
• 2:22:33
  You got to give it to him now. He.
• 2:22:34
  Is you like? The data but best athlete.
• 2:22:37
  Right now, did he had a better season than GNT?
• 2:22:39
  No. I'll.
• 2:22:40
  Tell you this. Athleticism.
• 2:22:43
  I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you he has a
• 2:22:45
  better athletic gifts than he does.
• 2:22:47
  And that's Cam Ward. I watch Cam Ward and I've
• 2:22:50
  watched his training. I'm telling you, I'm telling
• 2:22:52
  you, you got to watch his training.
• 2:22:53
  You got to watch his training, guys.
• 2:22:55
  Quarterback has more athletic gift.
• 2:22:57
  Absolutely, Absolutely. Remember, he wasn't.
• 2:23:01
  Absolutely. You can.
• 2:23:04
  This is history. You can.
• 2:23:05
  Flip whatever you want. You can flip pancakes.
• 2:23:08
  You can flip burgers. You can flip.
• 2:23:10
  This one, I believe Cam Ward. I've watched this guy's
• 2:23:13
  training. I watch the way he trains, the
• 2:23:15
  way he runs, the way he you know, he's persistent.
• 2:23:18
  I think he has better athletic gifts, more athletic and he's a
• 2:23:20
  great basketball player, by the way, much better than Travis
• 2:23:23
  Hunter. I I believe Cam Ward football.
• 2:23:26
  I'm sorry you. Get paid to play football is
• 2:23:28
  that? Is that what you're going to
• 2:23:29
  tell him? Player record because guess
• 2:23:30
  what, I. I would tell you that Cam Ward.
• 2:23:33
  I. Would I would tell you that Cam
• 2:23:34
  Ward had a better season than Travis Hunter?
• 2:23:36
  So who was playing football? Based off what though?
• 2:23:39
  What do you mean but? Remember, Tony Romo was Mr.
• 2:23:41
  Indiana in basketball? Tony but.
• 2:23:46
  You know he Tony. Romo and he also, and he almost
• 2:23:50
  made the tournament the US Open. Who cares?
• 2:23:54
  Stop. Stop making it about his best
• 2:23:56
  sports. Is that?
• 2:24:00
  The fact here is I, I, when I, when I look at athletic gifts
• 2:24:04
  and everybody says, well, this guy plays 22 play 2 dimensional
• 2:24:08
  football. He's a wide receiver and he's a
• 2:24:10
  corner. I watched him play both
• 2:24:12
  positions. I watched him.
• 2:24:14
  He, he, he's definitely a better corner than he is a wide
• 2:24:16
  receiver. He when he was putting up those
• 2:24:18
  numbers, he wasn't putting up those numbers as a wide receiver
• 2:24:21
  against elite defenses. Those are the facts.
• 2:24:24
  Go look at the teams he was putting up big numbers against
• 2:24:26
  in the nation. They weren't good.
• 2:24:29
  There weren't None of them were top 25, none of them.
• 2:24:31
  So how we? Agreed that he should have been
• 2:24:33
  paying right receiver. All right, So what makes him so
• 2:24:37
  athletically gifted? But.
• 2:24:38
  He's no, he are. You have I mean, he just filmed.
• 2:24:42
  You can't just yeah, you got to look at the ability, the way he
• 2:24:46
  locked down players, the way he was reading routes, this
• 2:24:49
  athletic bit, the way he was unorthodox in the air and
• 2:24:51
  picking the ball off like you. You got to look at different
• 2:24:54
  attributes besides for showing up on the paper.
• 2:24:59
  Yeah, he, he, he, he definitely a special athlete, man.
• 2:25:02
  Like, I mean, he is. I mean, I, I just, it's hard to
• 2:25:09
  get around that. Like, you know, if I was you, I
• 2:25:12
  would feel that way too. I don't care if he got the
• 2:25:15
  stretchiest hamstrings on the planet.
• 2:25:17
  I. Listen.
• 2:25:18
  That's not why I don't like him. I mean, that's just one of the
• 2:25:21
  reasons why I don't like him. Now, now, Lamar Jackson
• 2:25:25
  quarterback wise is about the only athlete, yeah, that that
• 2:25:29
  can kind of match Travis Hunter. No disrespect.
• 2:25:32
  No disrespect, not at all, but no disrespect.
• 2:25:36
  Maybe Lamar. Yeah, maybe Lamar.
• 2:25:42
  OK so athletic athletic score. Hold hold on, I'm pulling in his
• 2:25:47
  hair. Look his athletic score at the
• 2:25:49
  combine. Now Travis Hunters athletic
• 2:25:52
  score at the combine was a 7878. You know what Cam Wards athletic
• 2:25:56
  number was at the combine? A 90 So you're going to tell me
• 2:26:00
  right now that Cam Ward is not what?
• 2:26:02
  Metrics what? Are you talking about the
• 2:26:04
  combine rightnfl.com combine? So that's off his position.
• 2:26:08
  Thank. You So what quarterback is
• 2:26:10
  actually athletic? You only have to worry about
• 2:26:13
  your arm. You're not, you're not.
• 2:26:14
  It's not going to be hard for him to grade high versus
• 2:26:17
  unathletic people. There's quarterbacks are
• 2:26:22
  unathletic. That's not true.
• 2:26:23
  It's the most. Unathletic.
• 2:26:25
  That is not. True.
• 2:26:28
  That's not true. Cam Ward is very athletic.
• 2:26:31
  He is very athletic. What are you trying to sell me
• 2:26:33
  here? He is very athletic.
• 2:26:35
  He's a. First of all, he plays for the
• 2:26:38
  Tennessee Titans. He has no offensive corner.
• 2:26:40
  I wonder if Dabel is going to be the.
• 2:26:42
  Right, they got Brian Dabel now all.
• 2:26:43
  Right. We'll see how he develops him,
• 2:26:45
  but Cam Ward is, he's an athletically gifted player.
• 2:26:49
  So to say that he's not athletically gifted is
• 2:26:52
  ridiculous when you score 90. Do.
• 2:26:57
  You want let me bring up Lamar Jackson's athletic numbers when
• 2:27:01
  he was in when he was at the combine.
• 2:27:03
  All right, let's let's do that because you say I'm just saying,
• 2:27:07
  wait a second, you you said he's did you not say that?
• 2:27:11
  Did you not say that? Are you trying to sell?
• 2:27:15
  Hold on a second. So his athletic score at the
• 2:27:18
  combine was a 75, a 75, Lamar Jackson and Cam Wards was a 90.
• 2:27:25
  And you're going to tell me Cam Ward is an athletic, gifted,
• 2:27:28
  athletically gifted? You're telling me that Cam Ward
• 2:27:31
  is more athletic than the more I'm?
• 2:27:32
  Telling you I've watched the guy train.
• 2:27:34
  Based off your numbers. Based off your number, I'm not.
• 2:27:36
  Talking about number. I'm not talking about numbers.
• 2:27:39
  I'm talking about what I've seen.
• 2:27:41
  Watch this kid train. I was there.
• 2:27:44
  I watched this kid train you to tell me that this guy is not
• 2:27:48
  gifted and athletically gifted. Is.
• 2:27:50
  Ridiculous. And you say quarterbacks Sean
• 2:27:53
  politically gifted this guy is and he's just as athletically
• 2:27:57
  gifted as Travis hunter. He absolutely is absolutely is.
• 2:28:01
  You don't want to sell that why? Because he runs routes.
• 2:28:04
  You're going to tell me that Cam war can't run routes?
• 2:28:06
  It's. Not even close.
• 2:28:08
  Damn, Ward right now would tear everything in his body, do a
• 2:28:10
  back pedal and a corner to a shoulder.
• 2:28:12
  They play different. Positions.
• 2:28:15
  They're playing different positions.
• 2:28:17
  I'm telling you, they're great. I can do that.
• 2:28:22
  I could do a corner. I could.
• 2:28:24
  Pull anything out of my. Athletic in Travis Hunter.
• 2:28:27
  Also, I'm not going to tear everything in my body when I do
• 2:28:30
  it. So.
• 2:28:31
  I'm trying to tell you that's a difference that ain't gonna come
• 2:28:34
  up on the the combine scale. Hold on one second.
• 2:28:37
  So So what? So I listen, I could go two
• 2:28:39
  against one. It it it doesn't matter to me.
• 2:28:41
  I don't need any more. I'll play a triangle match.
• 2:28:44
  OK, here is the facts. Here is the facts and I and you
• 2:28:49
  can look this up. Cam Ward athletically and the
• 2:28:52
  combine has one, has one of the most, one of the highest
• 2:28:55
  athletic scores in the last five years of quarterbacks.
• 2:28:59
  So to say that Cam Ward is not athletically gifted like Travis
• 2:29:04
  Hunter or saying he's just not as athletic as Travis Hunter is
• 2:29:08
  ridiculous. It's ridiculous.
• 2:29:10
  It's a ridiculous statement. Because if you were to tell me
• 2:29:13
  right now, and by the way, Cam Ward is is built like a rock.
• 2:29:17
  I mean, this guy, he's got a great he's, you know, great
• 2:29:21
  tone, great body, everything. A quarterback size.
• 2:29:24
  Yeah, he is a he's, I don't like his cousin.
• 2:29:27
  Everybody knows who's a cousin, Speedy.
• 2:29:29
  You know, we had his cousin on the show.
• 2:29:31
  Yes, yes we did. Who?
• 2:29:32
  Did Who's his cousin? Yes, we did, Cam Ward.
• 2:29:36
  Cam Ward? Was it Cam Ward?
• 2:29:38
  No. Was it Cam Ward?
• 2:29:40
  Kim Ward. No, you're right.
• 2:29:41
  No. I don't.
• 2:29:42
  Remember, it wasn't it wasn't Cam Ward.
• 2:29:44
  His name, his name. He was a Charger.
• 2:29:47
  He was a charger. He was a corner.
• 2:29:49
  Do you know what? Do you know what I'm talking
• 2:29:51
  about? Oh.
• 2:29:51
  Quinton Jammer. That's right, Quinton Jammer.
• 2:29:54
  Now Quinton, now Quinton Jammer came on the show You.
• 2:29:56
  Have to hear this story. So Quinton Jammer came on this
• 2:29:59
  show all right. I was very kind and collective
• 2:30:03
  and my my PR person, Mr. Nathan, got us hooked up with him came
• 2:30:08
  on the show and I our our our PR guy told him, listen, we don't
• 2:30:12
  want you to do an interview on the in the car.
• 2:30:15
  Where was he? He was doing an interview in the
• 2:30:17
  car. That was strike one.
• 2:30:19
  Strike 2 is when I started to conversate with him, he didn't
• 2:30:24
  want to answer questions at a full sentence.
• 2:30:27
  He was answering what, one or two words?
• 2:30:30
  And he wouldn't give me straight answers to the questions.
• 2:30:34
  And #3I sat there and I threw a joke at him.
• 2:30:38
  And I know, listen, I met Antonio Cromartie.
• 2:30:41
  I know who he is. I, I know how many kids he has.
• 2:30:43
  And I knew that Quinton Jammer was was was the godfather of one
• 2:30:49
  of his kids. So all I threw at him, this is
• 2:30:52
  the truth. All I said is I, I know Antonio
• 2:30:56
  Cromartie has like enough kids that could probably build a
• 2:30:59
  football team. How many how many kids are you
• 2:31:03
  are the godfather of his family? And he went nuts and he
• 2:31:07
  completely popped off. He cursed at everybody, cursed
• 2:31:11
  out, cursed out everybody on the back end, including Nathan.
• 2:31:14
  Tell him he's going to kill him. I mean, what?
• 2:31:17
  It was a joke. Everybody asking Antonio Kamardi
• 2:31:21
  when he comes on their show how many kids do you have?
• 2:31:23
  And he makes a joke about it all the time.
• 2:31:25
  And all I did is how many kids are you the godfather of?
• 2:31:29
  And. And he looked at me like I had 6
• 2:31:31
  heads. It was a joke.
• 2:31:34
  It was a joke. Mr. Jammer.
• 2:31:36
  Yeah. Oh yeah.
• 2:31:37
  Jammer is like the most mild mannered calm guy ever.
• 2:31:41
  No, he wasn't he. Didn't show that, but we had him
• 2:31:43
  off he. Wasn't he?
• 2:31:44
  Turned into Kool-aid jammer and. And I did something even better.
• 2:31:48
  I did even. Bore the Kool-aid, Jeremy.
• 2:31:51
  So I did even something better for him.
• 2:31:53
  I wrote a story about him, about the whole interview and I sent
• 2:31:57
  it to him. I had Niffin send him the the
• 2:32:00
  story and he even went crazier after that.
• 2:32:03
  He told me I'm coming to New York in January.
• 2:32:06
  Maybe we should meet up. I said, yeah, you can come to
• 2:32:09
  you can come to New York. I could tell you where I live,
• 2:32:11
  but I'm not going to be there. But you know, it was, it was
• 2:32:19
  funny because I listen, we, I've interviewed a lot of great and,
• 2:32:23
  and unique individuals, athletes and interviewed them at a high
• 2:32:28
  level. But for some reason some of
• 2:32:30
  these guys don't have any personality.
• 2:32:33
  They, they just, they don't know how to understand a joke or if
• 2:32:37
  it's not from one of their peers, they don't want to hear
• 2:32:39
  it. It's not funny if if somebody
• 2:32:41
  else said if Darrelle Revis was talking about how many kids
• 2:32:44
  that, how many kids that he's, he's the godfather of, he would
• 2:32:47
  have laughed at Darrell because it's Darrell Reevis.
• 2:32:49
  That's that's why. No, it's Darrell Reevis, but
• 2:32:53
  it's it's me. He doesn't want to laugh at
• 2:32:55
  that. You know, No, it's something, I
• 2:32:57
  mean. You you was already heated so
• 2:32:59
  you was just poking jabs at him. I.
• 2:33:00
  Was not poking any jabs. You want me to poke jabs?
• 2:33:03
  You want to see me poke jabs? I can poke a lot of jabs
• 2:33:06
  anyways. By the way, ladies and
• 2:33:08
  gentlemen. More than one word answers back.
• 2:33:09
  Yeah. I'm sure you will.
• 2:33:11
  And I'm, I'm learning that very quickly.
• 2:33:12
  Ladies and gentlemen, we are talking to former Jaguars,
• 2:33:15
  Broncos and Cowboys defensive end Jeremy Menzi.
• 2:33:18
  All right, I'm going to go to the crazy saga of the offseason.
• 2:33:21
  The Max Crosby thing that's happened.
• 2:33:22
  Obviously he had a bad relationship with Tom Brady and
• 2:33:25
  Alex Guerrero with the Raiders. So obviously addition to that
• 2:33:28
  demanding his way out of the of Las Vegas already.
• 2:33:31
  He allegedly gets traded to the Ravens and the Ravens shut that
• 2:33:34
  down at the last second go after Trey Hendricks and his son.
• 2:33:36
  Have you ever seen anything like that with any of the teams that
• 2:33:39
  you play with or any of the players that you've been around?
• 2:33:41
  No, never. That's crazy.
• 2:33:47
  Is crazy. Yeah, that's crazy.
• 2:33:50
  That is crazy. That's a lot of drama.
• 2:33:56
  So whose side are you on with all that?
• 2:33:57
  The players. Side of course, of course
• 2:34:02
  players stick with players. That was dirty.
• 2:34:04
  That was a dirty play, Yeah. I mean, what else?
• 2:34:08
  What else is it more to say about that?
• 2:34:10
  It was a dirty play. Well.
• 2:34:13
  Lag on the plate. You know, we got to do.
• 2:34:16
  Tom Brady, he doesn't get penalized.
• 2:34:18
  You know what we do? We, we go, we fly over there to
• 2:34:21
  Raven Town, we take Eric, we, we tape Eric Dacosta up, we throw
• 2:34:25
  him in the trunk, we bring him to another football field, tape
• 2:34:28
  him to a pole, and then we beat him a couple of times and then
• 2:34:31
  we leave him there. Well, Max Crosby tackle him.
• 2:34:39
  Eric Decosta, by the way, Eric Decosta was the one everybody
• 2:34:43
  keeps blaming ownership on why John Harbaugh was let go.
• 2:34:47
  It was Eric Decosta. Eric Decosta went to Lamar
• 2:34:50
  Jackson. Lamar Jackson did not want to be
• 2:34:52
  coached by John Harbaugh anymore and he said get rid of him.
• 2:34:55
  That's what he because he didn't want the offensive coordinator
• 2:34:57
  to be there anymore. He didn't want John Harbaugh
• 2:34:59
  telling him he has to show up the practices when he needed to.
• 2:35:03
  Lamar Jackson has become a SO. Accountability.
• 2:35:06
  Yeah, he doesn't. He doesn't care about
• 2:35:08
  accountability anymore. If he did, he would have showed
• 2:35:10
  up to the Games this year. There's no way Lamar Jackson
• 2:35:13
  fell off the way he fell off this year.
• 2:35:15
  There is no way Lamar Jackson did not want to play for John
• 2:35:18
  Harbaugh. I'm sorry.
• 2:35:20
  Does it be injured? Yeah, but he came back and he,
• 2:35:24
  he, he was pretty much like crawling to the finish line.
• 2:35:27
  You every player is injured. You know this.
• 2:35:30
  Everybody plays injured. No, not.
• 2:35:31
  Every player, every. Player plays injured by the end
• 2:35:34
  of the season not. Quarterback position.
• 2:35:36
  Really. Do you want me to go?
• 2:35:39
  Do you want me to go back in time with the New York Jets
• 2:35:42
  quarterbacks? I could, if you want me to.
• 2:35:44
  Every. Quarterback stays healthy,
• 2:35:45
  especially The Jets quarterback. In 2023 I could.
• 2:35:47
  Go through probably a handful of quarterbacks that were never
• 2:35:51
  fully healthy at any point of the New York Jets season and I
• 2:35:54
  can name them by name. So to tell me.
• 2:35:57
  That. That was never fully healthy.
• 2:36:01
  Yeah, they they also, they never have a good line to protect
• 2:36:04
  them. But like there's there's other
• 2:36:06
  issues that made it they not good.
• 2:36:09
  They were all good at all. Last time we had a good offense.
• 2:36:13
  Well, you had you had some good players.
• 2:36:15
  Well, you had you. Had you had Ladainian Tomlson?
• 2:36:18
  He was good, was he not? Athlete, I said.
• 2:36:20
  Good offense. That's a good athlete.
• 2:36:23
  You said a good offensive player is That's a good offensive
• 2:36:25
  player. That's all offense.
• 2:36:26
  Not good. Good offensive.
• 2:36:30
  Who's the quarterback? Pennington, The.
• 2:36:32
  First of all, when Rex Ryan was there, The Jets had pretty good
• 2:36:36
  offense. Mark Sanchez.
• 2:36:38
  They had pretty good offensive lines.
• 2:36:39
  They did. We had. 1.
• 2:36:42
  Two, we all had one good offensive line.
• 2:36:44
  You had main goal, you had Ferguson, they had good players,
• 2:36:47
  they had good offensive. Lines you talk about good
• 2:36:50
  players. Everything else is food out
• 2:36:52
  there. They're going to pile up on the
• 2:36:54
  on the fish side on. The right side we're.
• 2:36:56
  Going to pile up on the fish side I'll put.
• 2:36:58
  You guys in fish? What?
• 2:37:01
  Is this we're going to pile up on the fish man?
• 2:37:03
  Well, hold on one second. What does, what does this have
• 2:37:06
  anything to do with food and fish?
• 2:37:08
  All right, seriously, Your your guys.
• 2:37:11
  That's what we call the easiest lineman, the one who's trembling
• 2:37:14
  and scared to death. Are you?
• 2:37:15
  Guys trying to make me throw up, is that what you're trying to
• 2:37:17
  do? There it is.
• 2:37:18
  That's a perfect picture. That's.
• 2:37:21
  A perfect picture, right? There.
• 2:37:26
  We're going to eat off the fish, man.
• 2:37:28
  Immediately. Well, we're lost on that.
• 2:37:30
  By the way. We are talking to former Jaguars
• 2:37:32
  and Broncos, Cowboys defensive and Jeremy Mince, he's been on
• 2:37:35
  our show. So, Jeremy, I watch the game
• 2:37:38
  religiously. I love football.
• 2:37:40
  I I love watching all these young kids develop into
• 2:37:44
  superstars and some of them fall flat on their face.
• 2:37:47
  You look at this year's draft, OK, and a lot of people over the
• 2:37:52
  last couple of weeks think that Fernando Mendoza could be a
• 2:37:55
  bust, that Ty Simpson could be the best quarterback in this
• 2:37:58
  class. And we haven't seen Fernando
• 2:38:01
  Mendoza have his pro day. He did not throw at the combine,
• 2:38:04
  but we saw Ty Simpson. Ty Simpson threw the ball very,
• 2:38:08
  very well, very, very well. And he has good footwork.
• 2:38:11
  Lot of people think that this kid could be the steal of the
• 2:38:14
  draft. You look at both these
• 2:38:17
  quarterbacks and you've seen Fernando Mendoza and you also Ty
• 2:38:20
  Simpson only played one season, 1 full season, 15 games, so we
• 2:38:24
  haven't seen enough of him. Fernando Mendoza, 2 years of top
• 2:38:27
  end football. Do you think that Fernando
• 2:38:31
  Mendoza is being pushed to a higher level because he won a
• 2:38:35
  national title with Indiana? Yes.
• 2:38:38
  Why is that? Yes.
• 2:38:40
  I mean, it's not usually when you drive you want to see at
• 2:38:45
  least two seasons. One season might not be enough.
• 2:38:49
  You know what I mean? Like it it it that I mean, it's
• 2:38:54
  kind of shaky. Well, one good seats.
• 2:38:56
  Plus he's older than everybody. Yes.
• 2:39:00
  So, you know, one good season from a older guy, he might have
• 2:39:03
  muscled up everything he had. And because what happened all
• 2:39:06
  the rest of the years, you see what I'm saying?
• 2:39:10
  Like, you know, you might have been like like an NFL guy
• 2:39:15
  waiting, you know, he on his contract year.
• 2:39:17
  You know how this contract year, you're going to eat healthy.
• 2:39:20
  You can do, you're going to break every bad habit just to
• 2:39:23
  get the way you need to go. And then some guys once they get
• 2:39:27
  it, they're no longer hungry. So that's kind of sketchy.
• 2:39:30
  They better pay attention to it well.
• 2:39:32
  Hold on one second. Every single time I ask you a
• 2:39:33
  question, you're talking about food and fish and being hungry,
• 2:39:36
  so you must be really hungry after the show.
• 2:39:38
  What are you eating? A hamburger?
• 2:39:39
  Where you going? I haven't eaten.
• 2:39:44
  Well. Q's most hated meal?
• 2:39:48
  Ribs. I couldn't imagine you two big
• 2:39:58
  behemoths eat. I mean, who would win?
• 2:40:00
  Who would eat in eating? Who would win in eating contest,
• 2:40:03
  you or him? It's Travis Hunter athleticism
• 2:40:11
  versus Ken Ward. Got.
• 2:40:16
  That just know that he knew he got that all day.
• 2:40:18
  He was. Super healthy, man.
• 2:40:20
  I can't I I get out EQ man Q gonna eat healthy all day every
• 2:40:23
  day. Hey, one thing that's a little
• 2:40:25
  cute on is his discipline, man. He got a lot of good discipline.
• 2:40:29
  Yeah, well, I got to. Well, you know what, it's, it's
• 2:40:32
  funny because me and Q, when, when we were starting to get to
• 2:40:35
  know each other, we, we were going back and forth and we
• 2:40:37
  said, I think this would be a really, really good show where
• 2:40:40
  we can just go back and forth, debate, argue with each other
• 2:40:43
  and kill each other throughout the show.
• 2:40:44
  And that makes good media. That's what makes good media.
• 2:40:49
  And I, I watched the NFL and, and I look at these coaches and
• 2:40:52
  all of them are bitches. Every single one of them.
• 2:40:54
  They cry there. They talk to the media, they cry
• 2:40:57
  about. That.
• 2:40:59
  They're all, they're all cry babies.
• 2:41:00
  That's all they are. They they just cry after, after
• 2:41:04
  the game. They can't give you straight
• 2:41:05
  answers. And I sit here as a New York Jet
• 2:41:08
  fan and after the game you would ask Aaron Glenn a question and
• 2:41:13
  Aaron Glenn would give you a bias answer.
• 2:41:15
  And then after that, the next day with media day, when they're
• 2:41:19
  asking questions, who's healthy, who's not?
• 2:41:21
  He can't give you a straight answer.
• 2:41:22
  Why am I going to tell you that? Why should I tell you that?
• 2:41:24
  Well, I don't know. You're we're media guys and
• 2:41:27
  we're supposed to tell everybody what what's going on with The
• 2:41:29
  Jets moving into week 3 or week 4?
• 2:41:32
  And, and, and that's the problem with these these these coaches,
• 2:41:35
  they make so much money, so much money.
• 2:41:38
  They, these coaches are making more money than some of the
• 2:41:41
  players and they're guaranteed. There it is.
• 2:41:43
  Bambi Sala, I mean, you talk about a deer in a headlights.
• 2:41:47
  I mean, he was oh. God, you're crazy.
• 2:41:50
  Yeah. Well, that's it's true.
• 2:41:51
  I gave him the nickname Bambi Bambi solid because he was a
• 2:41:53
  deer in a headlights. The guy didn't know what he was
• 2:41:55
  doing, but the fact what are. Jets or Jennifer?
• 2:41:59
  In general, in general, there it is eating pie.
• 2:42:08
  For all you. Little less.
• 2:42:12
  So for SO. For all the people, so for all
• 2:42:16
  the people that are not watching the video, and if you're
• 2:42:18
  listening to this right now on the audio end at any point
• 2:42:22
  tomorrow or the next day, they, you know, fish is posting up
• 2:42:26
  pictures like AI pictures of Jeremy Mincey and Mr. Q having
• 2:42:33
  an eating contest, a pie eating contest with Jeremy.
• 2:42:36
  Mr. Mincey is up six to one. OK, that, that's, that's and I,
• 2:42:40
  I probably believe that I can't see Q eating any kind of cake if
• 2:42:44
  he's so healthy and he eats also so healthy.
• 2:42:47
  I take to eat. I won't eat 6 cakes but I have a
• 2:42:50
  cake. Oh.
• 2:42:50
  Yeah, What's your favorite cake? Boo Tang cake.
• 2:42:53
  Honey buns Velvet is occasionally, but my oh carrot
• 2:42:58

  We. Gotta take it ourselves man.
• 2:43:18
  1st. Of all New York, food is the
• 2:43:20
  best. OK, you're gonna tell me.
• 2:43:22
  Oh. God, oh God.
• 2:43:24
  Food is the best. We was just debating this with
• 2:43:26
  some New Yorkers other day. It's.
• 2:43:28
  Not even close. No, Nobody could have New York
• 2:43:32

• 2:43:35
  Not saying hospitality, but when it comes to the food.
• 2:43:37

  Not a food. What do you guys know for pizza?
• 2:43:55

• 2:43:57

  Are those mints pies? Those are mints pies.
• 2:46:03
  We're talking to former Jaguars, Broncos and Cowboys defensive
• 2:46:07
  end Jeremy. Oh man.
• 2:46:12
  Anyways, to finish up our, this interview, I, I want to get into
• 2:46:17
  this year and there are a lot of teams that made some
• 2:46:20
  acquisitions and made their teams better.
• 2:46:23
  We we just talked about the Buffalo Bills, the Broncos and
• 2:46:25
  some other teams. You you're looking at two teams
• 2:46:29
  that there were a lot of questions in the Super Bowl this
• 2:46:31
  year. The New England Patriots had had
• 2:46:33
  one of the easiest schedules in in NFL history.
• 2:46:36
  And the Seattle Seahawks, nobody thought they were going to be
• 2:46:39
  there. They had a sensational year.
• 2:46:40
  They had one of the best defenses.
• 2:46:42
  They had one of the best running games duo in the league, which
• 2:46:45
  by the way, one of them is gone now playing for Kansas City and
• 2:46:49
  they lost some good defensive pieces in the offseason as well.
• 2:46:52
  Do you see these two teams in the Super Bowl again once again?
• 2:46:55
  Or where do you see where do you see in a new year in 2026 where
• 2:47:00
  the Super Bowl could be as far as some of the other teams that
• 2:47:04
  have made some of the acquisitions in the offseason,
• 2:47:06
  including the Rams, who I think are as dangerous as any team in
• 2:47:09
  football. I.
• 2:47:10
  Don't see Seattle going back. I mean, that was just one of
• 2:47:13
  those magical years, kind of like what was my man that played
• 2:47:18
  with Baltimore back in the days, Trent Dilfer And you know, that
• 2:47:25
  was one of those things, you know, and New England just
• 2:47:28
  didn't have enough anyway, So they can I think Mike Vapor
• 2:47:32
  going to find a way to, you know, he's a very, very, very
• 2:47:35
  sharp guy. He he he's very creative.
• 2:47:38
  You know how to find a way to find a way.
• 2:47:41
  You know, he was like one of my mentors back in the day when I
• 2:47:45
  got drafted to the Patriots. And I mean, he has a winter
• 2:47:48
  mentality, man. He's going to find a way to do
• 2:47:50
  something well. You mentioned Trent Gilfer.
• 2:47:52
  How about Rex Grossman, remember?
• 2:47:55
  Him. Yeah, same thing.
• 2:47:57
  How about Brad Johnson? Remember him?
• 2:47:59
  Yeah, yeah. Jeremy, it's funny, I remember
• 2:48:04
  the first time you were on the show.
• 2:48:05
  I remember you called it like the Patriots boot camp or
• 2:48:07
  something like that. That place was a concentration
• 2:48:11
  camp, man all. Right, what's going?
• 2:48:14
  On I was like, I don't think I want to play football longer.
• 2:48:19
  Don't worry. You've got a future.
• 2:48:21
  In competitive eating with the pie eating contests.
• 2:48:25
  Come on man. Well, Gee, how about this?
• 2:48:29
  Who do you think would win in a pie eating contest?
• 2:48:31
  You or Vince Wilfork? Wilfork.
• 2:48:36
  That's why I didn't. That's why the last four letters
• 2:48:39
  is the name for you know, that's my brother.
• 2:48:51
  Super. Athlete.
• 2:48:53

• 2:52:15
  Could you guys eat a bowl of cereal?
• 2:52:17
  A big bowl of cereal from one box in 5 minutes?
• 2:52:21
  Yeah, that's easy. No.
• 2:52:22
  I couldn't. See.
• 2:52:28
  That's too much crunching. That's good.
• 2:52:30
  Cereal. Good.
• 2:52:30
  Yeah. No.
• 2:52:31
  Happy What? What cereal are we talking

• 2:53:08
  Dude, I can eat how you? How you eat, How else you eat
• 2:53:11

• 2:53:13
  don't really chew it. I just like I to choose and I
• 2:53:17
  swallow. I could go through it, man.
• 2:53:20
  Dude, I can eat a bowl of cereal.
• 2:53:21
  I can eat a bowl of cereal quicker than anybody on this
• 2:53:24
  show. I promise you.
• 2:53:25
  I can beat anybody about eating any cereal you eat, any cereal
• 2:53:29

  the the other bowl. I don't grew up with you yelling
• 2:53:33
  I. Know I don't eat cereal all the
• 2:53:35
  time, but when I do I can swallow a bowl of cereal pretty
• 2:53:38
  quick. You're just going to regurgitate
• 2:53:43
  it right into the toilet bowl? Well.
• 2:53:44
  You're damn right I don't. It's pretty quick.
• 2:53:47
  That milk just comes right out man.
• 2:53:49
  It's just from. One bowl to another bowl.

  You do such a great job. You have a great personality.
• 2:54:03
  I love what you're doing right now on and off the field.
• 2:54:06
  And I didn't know you were coaching.
• 2:54:07
  Congratulations. Keep up the good work my friend.
• 2:54:10
  Yeah, let's go. Let's get it.
• 2:54:12
  Thank you all for having me, man.
• 2:54:15
  We're lucky. Yes Sir, appreciate y'all the
• 2:54:18
  one. We call Mr. Mincy, ladies and
• 2:54:20
  gentlemen, sensational. Played for the Jaguars, the
• 2:54:23
  Broncos, the Cowboys. Defensive end, great
• 2:54:26
  personality. He loves his cake.
• 2:54:27
  He loves his cake. I love my cake, too.
• 2:54:30
  I don't know if I eat cake like that.
• 2:54:31
  I don't know if I'll eat it in a cake contest, but I like my
• 2:54:34
  cake. I do.
• 2:54:35
  I like my cake. I, I, you know what my favorite
• 2:54:38
  cake is? The Entenmann's chocolate cake.
• 2:54:40
  Have you ever had that? You know what the the really
• 2:54:43
  like? Soft frosting on the top, I can
• 2:54:45
  eat. That whole cake in one serving.
• 2:54:48
  I love it. I can eat.
• 2:54:51
  It the the the chocolate inside or the the yellow inside?
• 2:54:55
  No, no. No, no.
• 2:54:59
  No that, no, no chocolate inside.
• 2:55:00
  It's it's just plain old chocolate.
• 2:55:02
  The yellow cake. No, no, it's just chocolate on
• 2:55:05
  the top, you know, with the the rivets.
• 2:55:07
  You know what? Yes.
• 2:55:08
  I know, but when you eat the cake, is it a chocolate cake or
• 2:55:11
  a sponge cake? Or is it a yellow sponge cake?
• 2:55:14
  No. No, they have two chocolate
• 2:55:15
  cakes. It's chocolate.
• 2:55:16
  Yeah, the chocolate, chocolate one is the way to go with
• 2:55:19
  Entenmann's. That was my favorite cake as a
• 2:55:20
  kid. My my grandparents took me to.
• 2:55:25
  Factory. In Long Island because that this
• 2:55:28
  is a real Jewish at Long Island stuff here all right.
• 2:55:32
  We're talking about it out here. Long Island, but that is a that
• 2:55:36
  is a prime time cake. Except now I ate it as an adult
• 2:55:40
  and I haven't had it very often as an adult.
• 2:55:42
  That chocolate doesn't hit the same.
• 2:55:44
  Bro it's not that good. I'm so mad.
• 2:55:47
  Yeah, well, it always, it always tastes the same for me.
• 2:55:54
  I love my chocolate in every kind of way, if you know what I
• 2:55:56
  mean. You had some interesting takes
• 2:56:01
  on cereal, I thought in that last segment.
• 2:56:04
  Well. Thank you.
• 2:56:04
  You know, I like my food too. I'm not.
• 2:56:08
  There it is. Figures.
• 2:56:16
  Figures. You would do something like
• 2:56:17
  that. Smart ass.
• 2:56:19
  Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, we call this call your shot.
• 2:56:23
  I'm not an X's and O's guy, right?
• 2:56:25
  I'm not a tactician. I'm a motivator in the classic
• 2:56:28
  sense of the word. You know, Lombardi, Charles
• 2:56:29
  Lindbergh, that nun over in India, like those people call
• 2:56:33
  your shot. Now I look a little too big in
• 2:56:37
  that picture. You always get mad when I make
• 2:56:42
  you not muscular and then now you're mad when I.
• 2:56:45
  I mean, look at my arms, they're twice the size of Q's.
• 2:56:51
  Right, which is crazy this. Is.
• 2:56:53
  Perception this. You should update the graphic.
• 2:56:56
  Give Errol a honey mustard dipping sauce to give Q some
• 2:56:58
  cake. To be fair, the first one that I
• 2:57:01
  made, it made everyone really fat.
• 2:57:04
  Like everyone was really fat. Anyway, this way.
• 2:57:08
  Here it is. We're back and it's Call your
• 2:57:11
  shot. Errol, why don't you tell
• 2:57:13
  everybody what we're? Doing all right, So ladies and
• 2:57:14
  gentlemen, if you don't know how to play this game, it's a very
• 2:57:17
  easy game. We're going to give a particular
• 2:57:20
  thing that could happen in sports or anything.
• 2:57:22
  We're going to tell you why we think that particular story is
• 2:57:27
  going to happen. It could happen now, it could
• 2:57:29
  happen 2 years from now, but we believe it's going to happen and
• 2:57:32
  then we're going to tell you why we believe it's going to happen.
• 2:57:36
  So tonight we're going to go first Speedy Fish, queue me.
• 2:57:42
  Here we go, all. Right.
• 2:57:43
  So since I had bad luck in the men in the men's bracket, I'm
• 2:57:47
  going to take a shot with the women, even though I was
• 2:57:48
  actually partially right on my floor to upset pick.
• 2:57:50
  I just had the wrong team. But I'm going on the women's
• 2:57:53
  side. I'm going to say UConn is
• 2:57:54
  undefeated right now. They've only lost one game by
• 2:57:56
  double digits. They're going to pull off a 2007
• 2:57:58
  Patriots and they will lose in the national championship game.
• 2:58:02
  The one I have him losing to is Texas A-Team.
• 2:58:04
  That's been very good for a while.
• 2:58:05
  Just stuck behind South Carolina in the SEC led by Madison Booker
• 2:58:08
  or UCLA with Lauren Betts to another hot commodity team on
• 2:58:12
  the women's side. So I think one of them I'm just
• 2:58:14
  lean more towards Texas beats UConn in the finals.
• 2:58:18
  Interesting, interesting, Speedy.
• 2:58:21
  All right, I'm going. To.
• 2:58:23
  Go to the NBA and stay away from college for a little bit.
• 2:58:28
  I got a real strong feeling I know what's going to happen in
• 2:58:33
  this in the NBA draft and it doesn't matter if they get the
• 2:58:36
  first pick, second pick or third pick, but the Indiana Pacers, I.
• 2:58:41
  Love, Lisa Ann. Are going to pair Mr. Boozer
• 2:58:46
  with Mr. Halliburton and terrorize the Eastern Conference
• 2:58:51
  for the next bunch of years. Whether they have to trade other
• 2:58:53
  assets to make it happen. If they don't, if they get
• 2:58:55
  screwed out of that pick, if they win too many games,
• 2:58:58
  probably not going to happen. But I think that's the move.
• 2:59:01
  I think they're going to be able to get it.
• 2:59:03
  I think there's enough depth that you can trade up in this
• 2:59:06
  draft for to a spot like #3 and get a premier talent like Boozer
• 2:59:11
  and put him with the best possible guy you could put him
• 2:59:13
  with, a guy that sets him up cutting to the basket with
• 2:59:17
  Halliburton. I.
• 2:59:19
  Need to blow up? Lately, I'm going to the NBA and
• 2:59:23
  I think that the Atlanta house are going to make a deep run for
• 2:59:29
  the Eastern Conference Championship.
• 2:59:32
  Wow. This year, I think.
• 2:59:34
  They're going to sneak in. I think you're drinking.
• 2:59:37
  Either they're going to be right there close to it, or they're
• 2:59:39
  going to meet the champion. He's going to fight the
• 2:59:41
  conference championship. All right.
• 2:59:42
  I mean, they got a chance I guess, right?
• 2:59:45
  Don't they? Come on.
• 2:59:48
  Well, my prediction of the night is pretty much the IT would be
• 2:59:51
  the second round of the NBA playoffs, where the Celtics
• 2:59:55
  would meet the New York Knicks once again.
• 2:59:58
  And that's. Easy work.
• 3:00:00
  And once again, the New York Knicks will beat the Celtics in
• 3:00:04
  the second round, four games to three to eliminate the Celtics
• 3:00:11
  and say sayonara to Jayson Tatum and those Celtic boys.
• 3:00:15
  So my prediction is if the Knicks meet the Celtics in the
• 3:00:20
  second round of the NBA playoffs for right now that's what would
• 3:00:23
  happen because they're they're two and three no matter if the
• 3:00:26
  Knicks are second or the the Celtics are are third.
• 3:00:30
  Wherever, however ends at the end of the season, I believe the
• 3:00:33
  New York Knicks will beat the Celtics again four games to
• 3:00:36
  three this coming season. So we're.
• 3:00:40
  Not going to have against with you guys.
• 3:00:41
  Oh. I believe it.
• 3:00:42
  I believe it. That's.
• 3:00:43
  Terrible take I. Think it might only take 6 like
• 3:00:47
  last time. And we know where fish is going
• 3:00:52
  with that. I think the Knicks are even
• 3:00:54
  better than they were last year and the Celtics aren't as good.
• 3:00:57
  That's how I see the. Celtics aren't as good.
• 3:00:59
  They're not. No, they're not I.
• 3:01:00
  Don't think they are do. Y'all watch the game dude.
• 3:01:04
  I watched the game, I watched the game you think Tatum is.
• 3:01:06
  Going to be able to give them what they he gave them last year
• 3:01:09
  before he got hurt. Giving them 20 in the last five
• 3:01:11
  games and 60%, he only can get better.
• 3:01:14
  Tatum against wasn't. They had 100% Tatum for three
• 3:01:17
  games and that wasn't enough. That was.
• 3:01:19
  Called 60% Championship Hangover.
• 3:01:23
  That's what that is, Championship.
• 3:01:26
  Hangover. What about torn keys?
• 3:01:28
  Less than a year ago? Hangover.
• 3:01:30
  No, they have nothing to do anything.
• 3:01:32
  He's proved that that's not going to be a factor.
• 3:01:36
  I hope you're right. I would see.
• 3:01:38
  I love Jason Tatum, but I'm going to tell you right now,
• 3:01:40
  Jason Tatum is not going to be the same player he was last year
• 3:01:43
  and he wasn't any good in the playoffs last year.
• 3:01:45
  He shouldn't. Be this year, it's the late of
• 3:01:47
  the season. He should not be the same
• 3:01:48
  player. Well, we don't need him to be
• 3:01:50
  the same. Really.
• 3:01:51
  So you're going to tell me you're going to win?
• 3:01:53
  So you're telling me right now with just Jaylen Brown and
• 3:01:56
  White, you're going to beat the New York and.
• 3:01:58
  Pritchard and Kayla. Pritchard is a.
• 3:02:00
  Is a six or seven man talent? Stop.
• 3:02:03
  Stop. What are you trying to sell us?
• 3:02:06
  They come back and just got hurt center there.
• 3:02:09
  Is no way the Celtics roster in A7 game series is better than
• 3:02:13
  the Knicks. I'm telling you right now.
• 3:02:15
  And if that's what you're, if that's what you're trying to
• 3:02:17
  sell us, then my friend, you're, you're up for a rude.
• 3:02:22
  Vehicle, it's, it's proven. Proven to what?
• 3:02:25
  What? Did you prove only been last
• 3:02:26
  year? It's the only time you've been
• 3:02:27
  able to talk was last year the. Knicks have played how many
• 3:02:30
  times against the the Boston Boston Celtics this year?
• 3:02:32
  I think they're two and O against the Celtics, I think
• 3:02:35
  they're two and oh, this is something.
• 3:02:36
  Yeah, this year I think they're two and oh, maybe.
• 3:02:39
  I don't know. We take games off and we play.
• 3:02:41
  Oh, yeah, That's what it is. That's why after the Knicks beat
• 3:02:44
  him last time, Jaylen Brown had a team meeting, right, Right.
• 3:02:49
  Yeah. Didn't he?
• 3:02:50
  Didn't he do that? Why?
• 3:02:52
  Why do you think he? Did that.
• 3:02:53
  That's the reason we can't take games.
• 3:02:55
  Stop. Stop.
• 3:02:56
  We got to, we got to play each and every game.
• 3:02:58
  That's what we got to do. You know, we just.
• 3:03:00
  Have solutions for that lineup of yours?
• 3:03:02
  Celtics Celtics beat them through the.
• 3:03:03
  Best wing defenders in the league?
• 3:03:05
  Celtics won one game in December 120 three 117 The Knicks 10595
• 3:03:10
  early in the season. The Knicks blowout 11189
• 3:03:12
  recently. Two and one against the Celtics,
• 3:03:14
  and they have one more game left at the end of the season.
• 3:03:17
  Everything. Go win that one.
• 3:03:18
  The Knicks. I would imagine very few people
• 3:03:21
  are going to play in that one. It's going to be the end of the
• 3:03:23
  regular season well. It depends on 8 days.
• 3:03:26
  Well, it well it depends on. 8 days definitely.
• 3:03:29
  When we play y'all so I mean we're our bits.
• 3:03:31
  I like our bits but hold. On one second, we're who?
• 3:03:34
  Is we? Who is we?
• 3:03:36
  You keep saying we. Are you a part of the
• 3:03:38
  organization? Do you work for the team?
• 3:03:41
  Yeah, yeah, really, actually good in the garden.
• 3:03:44
  I've been good out there. You're.
• 3:03:46
  A security guard? Is that what you are you're
• 3:03:48
  protecting? But you were undercover when I,
• 3:03:50
  when I was in the undercover when I was in the, in the
• 3:03:54
  restaurant, in the arena there. He's an undercover towel.
• 3:03:57
  Bar it all makes sense they. Don't be very well impossible.
• 3:04:03
  Let's just I'm. Sure they do.
• 3:04:05
  I'm sure they do. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:04:09
  when we come back, we have the AL and LL E preview.
• 3:04:14
  And what's that smell? But first, one more sports
• 3:04:16
  minute. This is.
• 3:04:20
  A New York sports loudmouth sports minute.
• 3:04:25
  All right, everybody, Aaron Fishman back at you with another
• 3:04:28
  sports minute. Got a couple of more stories
• 3:04:30
  before we get to the rest of the scores tonight.
• 3:04:33
  New York Giants running back Cam Scataboo got himself in some hot
• 3:04:37
  water late last week after going on a podcast and saying CTE was
• 3:04:41
  an excuse and that asthma was fake.
• 3:04:45
  The comments came on Franklin's Bring the Juice podcast, which
• 3:04:48
  immediately was met with harsh blowback from fans and
• 3:04:51
  detractors alike. Scataboo then issued an apology
• 3:04:55
  on Saturday on Instagram. I recently did an interview and
• 3:04:58
  had a lapse in judgment, which resulted in making a tasteless
• 3:05:02
  joke about CTE and asthma. It was never my intention to
• 3:05:06
  downplay the seriousness of head trauma or asthma.
• 3:05:09
  I sincerely apologize to anyone that was offended by my remarks,
• 3:05:13
  and I assure you that I'll be more mindful and respectful
• 3:05:17
  going forward. Much love Scataboo, who plays
• 3:05:21
  like someone who doesn't understand what CTE is, is
• 3:05:23
  recovering from a bad lower leg injury last season, but is
• 3:05:26
  expected to be ready for the 2026 year.
• 3:05:29
  Scataboo style of play has led many to worry about a
• 3:05:32
  potentially short career for the at times reckless runner.
• 3:05:36
  But Scataboo got a scataboo it appears and I say we all hang on
• 3:05:40
  for the ride. Hope it lasts longer than it
• 3:05:43
  probably will, but shorter than hopefully it would take for him
• 3:05:47
  to get something like CTE that could be used an excuse, but I'm
• 3:05:51
  sure he would like to avoid it in his later years as he tries
• 3:05:55
  to one day have a family of his own.
• 3:05:58
  As the 2026 MLB starts up this week, this season will be
• 3:06:02
  bittersweet for long time Mets fans and New York sports fans in
• 3:06:07
  general as long time Mets TV and most recently radio play by play
• 3:06:12
  announcer Howie Rose announced that this season will be his
• 3:06:15
  last. As of late last week, Rose, who
• 3:06:18
  is 72, will retire after almost 40 years working with the Mets
• 3:06:22
  in various roles outside of baseball.
• 3:06:24
  Rose is also finally remembered for his play by play work with
• 3:06:27
  the Rangers and Islanders. It was Howie Rose who screamed
• 3:06:30
  like a maniac Mato Mato Mato after the Rangers defeated the
• 3:06:34
  Devils to go on and eventually win their only Stanley Cup since
• 3:06:37
  1940 way back in 94. Rose's health has wavered in
• 3:06:41
  recent years, leading to a scaled back schedule, but is
• 3:06:43
  still as beloved as ever as the news led to an outpouring of
• 3:06:47
  love by New York fans the other day.
• 3:06:50
  Rose will call all 81 home games this season for the Mets, but
• 3:06:53
  will not go on the road for his last hurrah.
• 3:06:56
  Maybe the Mets can do something amazing this year for Howie to
• 3:07:01
  send him on his way. Guys, we are streaming live on

  What's Loudmouth with Mr. Q Quinton Couples.
• 3:08:30
  He's joined us. He's been an ecstatic, you know,
• 3:08:34
  interesting fella. And, and as we get to know him,
• 3:08:38
  we'll get to know a little bit more about his personality.
• 3:08:41
  He doesn't like pie. He likes to eat healthy and he
• 3:08:44
  likes his fish, you know, Speedy.
• 3:08:48
  You like the? Fish.
• 3:08:49
  I do. I love most.
• 3:08:51
  Types. I should say all but most most
• 3:08:53
  types. No, I'm a pie guy too.
• 3:08:54
  My fault. OK, you like pie?
• 3:08:56
  You like that red salt? Pie.
• 3:08:57
  Sweet potato pie. Oh, sweet potato pie.
• 3:09:00
  If you want to get me sweet potato pie, how?
• 3:09:02
  About how about poo Tang pie? How about that?
• 3:09:04
  No, no, thank you. I don't.
• 3:09:06
  Want poo Tang pie? No, you're not looking for any
• 3:09:09
  of that, right? Not looking for it at.
• 3:09:11
  All you got, you got a beautiful lady, so why do you need that,
• 3:09:13
  right? Why would I?
• 3:09:19
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to get into the AL
• 3:09:22
  and NL E preview. The National League East is
• 3:09:25
  projected to be an interesting three team race, with the Braves
• 3:09:29
  win total projected to be 86.5, the Phillies 89.5 and the Mets
• 3:09:35
  90.5. The Braves resign closer Ricelle
• 3:09:39
  Iglesias traded for outfielder Mike.
• 3:09:43
  How do you pronounce your Shem, whatever his name is?
• 3:09:46
  I don't know why you're giving me these.
• 3:09:47
  Gave a big contract to All Star reliever Robert Suarez and
• 3:09:52
  brought back Chris Sale to a one year deal.
• 3:09:55
  The Phillies were able to bring back a JT Realmuto and Kyle
• 3:09:59
  Schwarber but lost Ranger Suarez.
• 3:10:02
  The Mets traded Freddy Peralta. Gave a big contract to Beau
• 3:10:05
  Bichette which is playing off key from shortstop to third base
• 3:10:09
  which makes no sense, and signed Jorge Polanco while losing Pete
• 3:10:14
  Alonzo and Edwin Diaz and trading Jeff McNeil and also
• 3:10:19
  Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers and Mark for Marcus Simeon.
• 3:10:24
  Four teams in the American League East have a projected win
• 3:10:27
  total over 85 with the Orioles. I I have no idea how this this
• 3:10:33
  is even true at 85.5, the Red Sox at 87.5, the Blue Jays at
• 3:10:39
  88.5 and the Yankees at 90.5. The Orioles brought back
• 3:10:44
  starting pitcher Zac Eflin, signing starting pitcher Chris
• 3:10:50
  Bassett, Bassett and signed two former relievers, Ryan, what is
• 3:10:56
  it? Helsley and star first baseman
• 3:10:58
  Pete Alonso. The Red Sox traded veteran
• 3:11:01
  pitcher Sonny Gray, which absolutely blows, and catcher
• 3:11:05
  Wilson Contreras and also gave Ranger Suarez a big contract.
• 3:11:09
  The Blue Jays signed Japanese third baseman Akamoto.
• 3:11:13
  What a name. Brought in two former Mets
• 3:11:16
  pitchers, reliever Tyler Rogers and starter Max Scherzer, and
• 3:11:22
  gave Dylan Sees a big contract. The Yankees traded for pitcher
• 3:11:26
  Ryan Weathers, brought back reliever Tim Hill, infield Ahmed
• 3:11:31
  Rosario and alfielder Trent Grisham and resigned Cody
• 3:11:36
  Bellinger to A5 year deal. So let's get into the National
• 3:11:40
  League East because I think the National League East is going to
• 3:11:43
  be more wide open than the American League East.
• 3:11:46
  I, I think and I'll, I'll get into the American League East
• 3:11:49
  and why I'm going to give you my take on it.
• 3:11:51
  I think the Braves are going to be a lot better than people
• 3:11:55
  think this year. I do.
• 3:11:58
  And, and they're saying that the Braves are projected at 86.5.
• 3:12:02
  I think they're going to be better than that.
• 3:12:04
  I, I could see the Braves winning 90 games this year.
• 3:12:07
  Acuna is going to be healthy this year.
• 3:12:09
  If Acuna is going to be healthy for at least 140 games, they
• 3:12:14
  have the pitching staff and they've got Strider.
• 3:12:16
  This is a good pitching staff. They have got a lot of good
• 3:12:19
  young players. We're going to see a bunch of
• 3:12:21
  players being called up in the next couple of months.
• 3:12:24
  I, I really think the Braves are going to be a really, really
• 3:12:27
  good team this year. I, I think they're much better
• 3:12:29
  than they obviously experts are thinking.
• 3:12:31
  So if you're a betting man at 86.5, bet them over 86.5, the
• 3:12:38
  Phillies 89.5. I think the Phillies are the
• 3:12:41
  best team in this division. Now, that doesn't mean the Mets
• 3:12:45
  aren't going to make the playoffs.
• 3:12:46
  I think the National League East has three teams that are going
• 3:12:49
  to make the playoffs. I think this is the best
• 3:12:51
  division in all of the National League.
• 3:12:54
  Philadelphia. They're good, they're loaded.
• 3:12:57
  Kyle Schwarber is going to have another good season.
• 3:12:59
  Hopefully does better than, you know, the WBC and I think Bryce
• 3:13:04
  Harper is still a competent player.
• 3:13:07
  He can get you 30 home runs and 90 RB is I think they have a
• 3:13:10
  great pitching staff. They have a very good ball pen
• 3:13:13
  for for a team over the years that have not had good ball
• 3:13:16
  pens. This is a good bullpen.
• 3:13:18
  And I think that you look at the Philadelphia Phillies with some
• 3:13:21
  of the additions that they made in the offseason, I think bring
• 3:13:24
  it back JT Romuto. I think that's an absolute plus.
• 3:13:28
  He's a big part of the pitching staff and behind the plate, you
• 3:13:31
  need a, a leader, a captain behind the plate to help this
• 3:13:35
  pitching staff go. I, I, I just, I like what
• 3:13:38
  Philadelphia has done in the offseason, bringing back all
• 3:13:41
  their all the guys they did lose, Ranger Suarez and they
• 3:13:45
  Nick Castellanos, they were. Trying to trade him, yeah.
• 3:13:47
  They didn't want him. He's an outfielder who is
• 3:13:50
  expensive. They needed to move him.
• 3:13:52
  I think that was, I think that was a good move just to get rid
• 3:13:54
  of him. I, I, I really, really, really
• 3:13:57
  like Philadelphia this year, the Mets.
• 3:13:59
  Freddy Peralta is going to give him an ace.
• 3:14:02
  They're going to have an ace and Nolan McLean, that takes a lot
• 3:14:06
  of pressure off of Nolan McLean. Nolan McLean doesn't have to be
• 3:14:09
  that dominant and he is. He's up for Rookie of the Year
• 3:14:11
  this year. So Nolan McLean could still win
• 3:14:14
  the National League Rookie of the Year and could be up for a
• 3:14:17
  Sai Young playing behind Freddie Paul, though, you're not going
• 3:14:20
  to play against the best pitchers.
• 3:14:21
  You're going to play against the secondary, maybe the third best
• 3:14:24
  pitcher on a on a team's roster. So that gives the Mets an
• 3:14:27
  advantage. I don't like the Beau Beauchet
• 3:14:29
  move. I, I question his injury.
• 3:14:31
  He's an injury prone player playing third base.
• 3:14:34
  Third baseman don't stay healthy, especially guys out of
• 3:14:37
  position. He was a shortstop his whole
• 3:14:39
  career. Now you're moving.
• 3:14:40
  I think I would have moved Boba shit out out in the outfield.
• 3:14:43
  And what are they going to do with Jorge Polanco?
• 3:14:45
  Because what I'm reading is Beatty's going to win the first
• 3:14:48
  base job. And Carson Benj is apparently
• 3:14:50
  making the opening day roster too, in the outfield.
• 3:14:52
  So where is Jorge Polanco going? You paid him, You gave him a two
• 3:14:56
  year extension. You're paying him pretty good
• 3:14:58
  money. Where does he fit?
• 3:15:00
  He's he automatic DH? Probably that's what you're
• 3:15:03
  paying an automatic DHI mean. He's not a great power.
• 3:15:08
  He had a lot of home runs last year.
• 3:15:09
  I think he had 20 something. Yeah, he has.
• 3:15:11
  He has a couple years like that. He had like 2 years like that
• 3:15:13
  with the twins and then last year with Seattle had almost
• 3:15:17
  thirty home runs. I.
• 3:15:17
  Mean, losing a guy like Pete Alonso, that's huge.
• 3:15:22
  Losing a power hitter of that magnitude, you're talking about
• 3:15:24
  a guy that averages between 35 and 40 home runs a season and
• 3:15:28
  giving you almost 100 RB is you lose that and you're expecting
• 3:15:33
  Beau Bouchette and Jorge Polanco to give you those kind of
• 3:15:37
  numbers. That's what you.
• 3:15:39
  And they also added Devin Williams, which you forgot on
• 3:15:42
  that one. And Devin Williams has a lot of
• 3:15:44
  questions to the to him as a pitcher, as a relief pitcher.
• 3:15:47
  Is he going to be your closer this year?
• 3:15:49
  You're paying him like a closer, but he's not Edwin Diaz.
• 3:15:52
  Edwin Diaz is one of the elite closers in all the baseball.
• 3:15:55
  He goes to the Dodgers. You're missing those pieces in
• 3:15:58
  your bullpen and you're going to depend on Tong.
• 3:16:01
  Maybe they call Tong up and move him as a long relief pitcher
• 3:16:04
  because he's probably not going to start the season on this
• 3:16:06
  pitching staff and you're losing Brandon Nimmo.
• 3:16:11
  That's a significant loss, a leader in the outfield, a guy
• 3:16:14
  that hits as your first batter, your number one guy.
• 3:16:18
  He gets on base at a clip. He does hit for somewhat power
• 3:16:22
  and he's a good defensive player.
• 3:16:23
  He's not a great defensive player, but he's better than
• 3:16:25
  anything they have out there. So they think the Mets are going
• 3:16:30
  to win 90.5 games. I think the Mets win 89 games
• 3:16:33
  this year. I don't think they break 90
• 3:16:35
  games. I think Philadelphia wins over
• 3:16:39
  90 games. Mets 89 and I project the Braves
• 3:16:45
  somewhere around 808889. I think the Mets and the Braves
• 3:16:49
  will have the same record. I think both all three teams are
• 3:16:52
  making the playoffs this year and don't be surprised if the
• 3:16:54
  Braves pull away in this in this conference, in this division.
• 3:16:58
  I I really do believe that the Braves are as good as any of
• 3:17:02
  these teams if they stay healthy.
• 3:17:03
  I don't know if I I'm going to bet on a Cunha and Strider, but
• 3:17:06
  if these two guys stay healthy, Strider is one of the best
• 3:17:09
  pitchers in baseball. Don't don't bother on that.
• 3:17:12
  IL came out earlier today, Strider already down with an
• 3:17:16
  oblique. They don't know how, they didn't
• 3:17:19
  say the severity, but it's at least probably the first month
• 3:17:22
  of the season if it's. Not a great one.
• 3:17:24
  It'll be one month. He was one of the worst pitchers
• 3:17:27
  in baseball last year. I know this because he's my
• 3:17:29
  keeper on my fantasy team and I love the guy.
• 3:17:33
  His fastball's down a couple of ticks and it's not moving as as
• 3:17:36
  he used to before the injury and he doesn't have secondary
• 3:17:40
  pitches like that. He was a two pitch guy,
• 3:17:42
  fastball, slider. So he's going to take some time
• 3:17:45
  to try to reinvent himself. I don't know even if he's
• 3:17:48
  healthy if you're going to get anything close to what we saw
• 3:17:50
  from him for like 2 plus years where he was probably if not the
• 3:17:55
  best, one of the two or three best pitchers in all of baseball
• 3:17:58
  sucks and then they have all these other injuries there.
• 3:18:01
  Errol like they already they. Schwellenbach isn't coming back
• 3:18:04
  till halfway through the season. Waldrip is probably same thing.
• 3:18:08
  Smith. Sharper's out for the year.
• 3:18:12
  Probably they picked up Hassan Kim.
• 3:18:17
  They thought he was. Gonna game but for.
• 3:18:18
  Them, I think say. That again, What's, what's his
• 3:18:20
  name? Hassan Kim, right?
• 3:18:22
  Hassan Kim, Not to be confused with Hey Song Kim on the
• 3:18:26
  Dodgers. He's out with a torn tendon in
• 3:18:29
  his right middle finger. So he's out for a couple of
• 3:18:32
  months. They're just banged up already.
• 3:18:34
  They. Always.
• 3:18:34
  Don't even. Started yet?
• 3:18:35
  It's crazy, but. Ronald Lacuna looked very good
• 3:18:38
  in the WBC. He.
• 3:18:39
  Did. And yes, he did I.
• 3:18:41
  Think that a healthy Ronald Lacuna in that lineup is going
• 3:18:44
  to give you a guy that's going to give you between 30 and 40
• 3:18:48
  home runs. I don't know if he steals as
• 3:18:50
  many bases. I don't.
• 3:18:52
  I wouldn't put him at risk and I won't.
• 3:18:53
  I wouldn't put him out in the outfield every single day
• 3:18:56
  because you have to protect him. You have to keep him healthy.
• 3:18:59
  He always gets hurt. He tears his ace.
• 3:19:00
  He's torn his ACL twice out in the outfield.
• 3:19:03
  You got to keep him. I was going to.
• 3:19:05
  Say I worry about that because they he created a lot of runs
• 3:19:08
  for that that offense and because the offense was just
• 3:19:11
  historically bad for their standards last year and Albees
• 3:19:15
  and Riley are the probably the two more I'm concerned with them
• 3:19:18
  even more than a Cunha getting back to that level.
• 3:19:20
  Albees was thought of as a top three second baseman in baseball
• 3:19:23
  for a while. I.
• 3:19:24
  Love Albees. He fell off badly.
• 3:19:25
  Is there a bounce that candidate for him maybe got?
• 3:19:27
  That's what you're saying, yeah. So I'm, I'm just like crazy with
• 3:19:30
  the fantasy baseball stuff. I've been all over those two
• 3:19:33
  guys for a long time as well. I was super into what the Braves
• 3:19:36
  did, building a franchise by giving these longer deals with,
• 3:19:39
  you know, like medium amounts of money, eating away some of those
• 3:19:42
  arbitration years. So they can keep some of these
• 3:19:44
  star players into their primes in the in their late 20s, early
• 3:19:47
  30s, which was one of the most genius things anyone did.
• 3:19:51
  Riley's still very good. His advanced numbers look good.
• 3:19:54
  Last year he just, he just didn't have a good season.
• 3:19:57
  You know, I think he got banged up later on as well.
• 3:20:00
  That guy's that guy can hit. He's always going to be able to
• 3:20:03
  hit as long as his bad speed doesn't drop.
• 3:20:05
  I think he's got another bunch of years of being a really good
• 3:20:07
  player and he's he's solid defensively.
• 3:20:09
  Alby's, on the other hand, Darrell, His advanced numbers
• 3:20:12
  don't look good at all. And you know how I am came up.
• 3:20:15
  You know how I am with these advanced numbers.
• 3:20:17
  I'm not a big no. I know, but it's like one of
• 3:20:19
  those where it's like every year goes down, it's like one of
• 3:20:21
  those like slowed downhill trajectory with him, it's just
• 3:20:23
  gotten worse every like. A Waldrips, right?
• 3:20:25
  Like a Waldrip. But.
• 3:20:27
  He's a knuckleball pitcher and he's a velocity with him.
• 3:20:30
  But oh, he's already hurts. Yeah, that's that's not ideal.
• 3:20:33
  The Braves, what's always what's always good with them, though,
• 3:20:36
  is they they at least find a pitcher that usually could
• 3:20:38
  weather the storm. The pitching was not the problem
• 3:20:40
  for most of the year for the Braves.
• 3:20:41
  They were still top three, I believe, in ERA in the National
• 3:20:43
  League, even in the first half of the season.
• 3:20:45
  But their offense is just so bad.
• 3:20:46
  So they have a good process of pitching that'll work.
• 3:20:48
  And those other guys hitting. I think Sean Murphy's already
• 3:20:50
  hurt too. Like.
• 3:20:51
  Murphy's tore his labrum and his leg.
• 3:20:53
  The a rod injury that one he's not coming back from and playing
• 3:20:56
  catch anytime soon and Jerickson Profar was suspended for the
• 3:21:00
  season. He was supposed to be probably
• 3:21:02
  there to hitter be hitting behind Acuna right.
• 3:21:06
  So that's. Not great.
• 3:21:06
  Where I was getting it is as a result of the process they've
• 3:21:09
  tried to do with getting these guys that all together their,
• 3:21:11
  their farm system has really fizzled out.
• 3:21:13
  And the upside, I don't know if it's there, if they have the
• 3:21:16
  injuries the same way. I completely disagree with you
• 3:21:18
  guys. I think the Braves are a lot
• 3:21:20
  better than you think they are. This I.
• 3:21:22
  Think they've had a lot of bad luck.
• 3:21:23
  I, I think we all like their franchise.
• 3:21:26
  I just think that they ran into like maybe more than a year of
• 3:21:31
  really bad injury luck. It might be a year and a half
• 3:21:34
  and I don't know if they're going to be good until the
• 3:21:35
  second-half of the season. It might be too far back at that
• 3:21:37
  point and. Chris Sale was one of the best
• 3:21:39
  pitchers in baseball last year and he's coming back on a one
• 3:21:42
  year deal. I think I, I, yes, we don't know
• 3:21:45
  what Strider's going to be and when he comes back, we'll see
• 3:21:47
  how he fits in this rotation. They also have two aces in their
• 3:21:53
  farm system, one of them they're going to call up this year and
• 3:21:56
  another one they could put in their bullpen.
• 3:21:58
  I really think the Braves are a lot better than you guys make
• 3:22:00
  them out to be. I think they're an 89 win team,
• 3:22:02
  88 win team as well as I think that's where the Mets are.
• 3:22:06
  I don't think the Mets break 90 wins this year, no.
• 3:22:08
  I don't either. The Mets still have question
• 3:22:09
  marks with so they're pitching depth.
• 3:22:11
  They have a lot of these hybrid starter relievers, obviously
• 3:22:13
  bringing Luke Weaver. Question marks remain with
• 3:22:15
  somebody like Kodai Senga, who had a great first two months and
• 3:22:18
  then fell off a Cliff badly. I.
• 3:22:19
  Think he's going to have a better?
• 3:22:20
  I think so too. I think he has the upside chance
• 3:22:22
  that'll make it work. The other, he's the number four
• 3:22:24
  guy. Yeah, The other, the other part
• 3:22:26
  of that trade with the Freddie Peralta trader was Tobias
• 3:22:28
  Meyers. Another guy could fill that role
• 3:22:29
  very well. He pitched very well with the
• 3:22:31
  Brewers in the first half of the year last year, kind of slipped
• 3:22:33
  the last two months. Then you got Clay Holmes, who's
• 3:22:36
  that same kind of role. And that's where I think that
• 3:22:38
  management's going to come in because we talked about it with
• 3:22:41
  a couple of our baseball guests. Carlos Mendoza, you would think
• 3:22:43
  is on the hottest seat of any manager in baseball right now
• 3:22:46
  that got to keep his job. So if they start off slow and he
• 3:22:49
  doesn't get that pitching going, is he going to lose his job
• 3:22:51
  quickly? And.
• 3:22:52
  That's what I don't understand. David Stearns, who's there?
• 3:22:56
  He's the one who picked her. Mendoza, correct?
• 3:22:59
  He's the one who brought him in. And this guy is still not on the
• 3:23:02
  hot seat. He has made all these mistakes.
• 3:23:05
  He's made trades, he's brought, he's traded away talent, young
• 3:23:08
  talent. He brought in relief pitches at
• 3:23:11
  the trade deadline last year that are now playing for other
• 3:23:13
  teams and other organizations. You lost prospects, then you I
• 3:23:17
  think this trade for Peralta is great.
• 3:23:19
  If they can resign them, are they going to resign them?
• 3:23:21
  That's the question. Does he want to be a Met?
• 3:23:24
  That's and could you imagine losing Sprout, Sprout and and,
• 3:23:28
  and one of their better hitters in the farm system?
• 3:23:30
  I mean, think about it. These these are bad moves.
• 3:23:33
  And and you look at the Mets right now, they overpaid for
• 3:23:36
  Beau Bichette for third base. He's he's making more money than
• 3:23:41
  Aaron Judge is making right now. Think about that.
• 3:23:44
  You're paying a guy that's never played third base in his career
• 3:23:48
  and he's making more money than the best player in baseball.
• 3:23:52
  Yeah. You think about that, you have a
• 3:23:53
  lot of moving parts that are going to be leaving two guys out
• 3:23:56
  of position pretty much every line up.
• 3:23:58
  If they can get one of them comfortable, fine.
• 3:24:00
  And that's on Mendoza and that's on his staff to be able to make
• 3:24:02
  that kind of thing work to make at least somebody comfortable.
• 3:24:04
  Now I would try to 3rd, 1st because Simeon is very good at
• 3:24:06
  2nd. So you don't want to move have
• 3:24:08
  to move him if you. He's an old man, Speedy.
• 3:24:10
  You treated him for Brandon Nimmo, who is 30 years old.
• 3:24:14
  You took a guy. Yes, he's a Gold Glove winner.
• 3:24:16
  He's 3637 years old. How many years does he have
• 3:24:20
  left? And you're going to bet on this?
• 3:24:22
  What happens? Let's say the Mets make the
• 3:24:24
  playoffs this year. Or chokes.
• 3:24:27
  Does the Stearns keep his job during the strike?
• 3:24:30
  Really. Because Cohen's like, has a love
• 3:24:32
  fest for him, just like somebody named James Dolan has for Chris
• 3:24:36
  Drury. I would hope he's not that
• 3:24:38
  irrational. There's some kind of love fest
• 3:24:40
  for this guy, David Stearns. Oh, he's like a son to me.
• 3:24:42
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 3:24:43
  He's also ruining your organization.
• 3:24:45
  Yeah, if you're. Overpaid for Juan Soto and Juan
• 3:24:47
  Soto was the only one hitting at the tail end of the season.
• 3:24:50
  Lindor fell off, everybody fell off and and this team was was
• 3:24:54
  one of the best National League teams coming into the second and
• 3:24:57
  half and they completely fell flat on their face like they
• 3:24:59
  always do. Yeah.
• 3:25:00
  And there's a lot of prospects that are have a lot of roles
• 3:25:02
  that are unknown, too. And the Mets do have a good farm
• 3:25:05
  system. It's just a matter of putting
• 3:25:06
  them in the right places. Ronnie Mauricio is another one
• 3:25:08
  that's going to come back that seems position less.
• 3:25:10
  Mark Vientos is going to be on the bench most of the year, I
• 3:25:12
  would imagine, unless guys get hurt.
• 3:25:13
  And Beatty, we talked about it. He's going to play the corner
• 3:25:16
  outfield spot. He plays for his bait.
• 3:25:17
  His batch should be in the lineup.
• 3:25:18
  And then you got somebody like Louise Robert, who's an injury
• 3:25:20
  question as well. Good, good player a couple years
• 3:25:23
  ago, but he hasn't hit in a while either.
• 3:25:25
  The Phillies are the most stable.
• 3:25:26
  I agree with you, win the division.
• 3:25:27
  They didn't do much in the offseason besides keep their own
• 3:25:29
  players and like the Braves don't have a lot of prospect
• 3:25:31
  upside but they were I was worried they going to lose
• 3:25:34
  pretty much everyone. I think they were the second
• 3:25:36
  biggest team against the cap after the Dodgers at the start
• 3:25:38
  of the offseason. They were able to keep, not that
• 3:25:40
  real much was the same player, but they will keep him in
• 3:25:42
  Schwarber and still have that kind of upside.
• 3:25:44
  And while while they lost, obviously Suarez Wheeler is
• 3:25:48
  expected to come back sooner than rather than later, which is
• 3:25:51
  a big boost that I didn't think they would have for the
• 3:25:52
  Phillies. So yeah, I think the Phillies
• 3:25:53
  kind of like 90 wins. I think the Mets kind of 88, the
• 3:25:56
  Braves kind of middle like 8485, something like that.
• 3:25:58
  All right, let's go to the American League East and a lot
• 3:26:01
  of people have the Yankees winning the East and probably
• 3:26:05
  the best team in the American League.
• 3:26:07
  And I'm not saying this because I'm a Yankee fan.
• 3:26:10
  I think the Yankees have a roster that can win now, win a
• 3:26:14
  championship. I don't know.
• 3:26:16
  We have to see if they can hit. And we also have to see if Brian
• 3:26:19
  Cashman is going to make moves at the trade deadline to juice
• 3:26:22
  up this lineup, which he probably will.
• 3:26:25
  And I don't think Jazz Jism is going to be a part of this
• 3:26:29
  organization at the trade deadline.
• 3:26:31
  I think they're going to move them, especially if he starts
• 3:26:33
  the season hot. And I expect him to.
• 3:26:36
  Bellinger is a big piece to this roster.
• 3:26:39
  He is a big piece. Now my question is eventually
• 3:26:43
  this year, do they move Bellinger full time to first
• 3:26:46
  base? That's what I want to know
• 3:26:48
  because if Spencer Jones comes up here, which I believe he will
• 3:26:53
  at some point this year, he's proven himself on this roster
• 3:26:56
  during spring training that he is quite capable of being a
• 3:26:59
  hitter in baseball. Dominguez might fall out with
• 3:27:04
  this team. And as far as this line up is
• 3:27:07
  concerned, Dominguez is a piece that the Yankees can move at the
• 3:27:11
  trade deadline. And do you trade Jazz, Jism or
• 3:27:15
  Chism, whatever you want to call him?
• 3:27:18
  And do you trade a guy like Dominguez who is a switch hitter
• 3:27:21
  or they call him the Martian? Do you trade him for another big
• 3:27:24
  bat in this lineup, which quite, quite possibly could happen.
• 3:27:28
  And here's another thing, they gave Grissom A2 year extension.
• 3:27:34
  That is also a a questionable move.
• 3:27:36
  Dory was a two year extension. Yeah, or or no, he took the
• 3:27:38
  qualifying. Oh, he took the qualifying 1.
• 3:27:40
  Year 22 million. 22 million, I think they overpaid for Grissom
• 3:27:43
  because to me if Spencer Jones comes up and the way they're
• 3:27:49
  they're outfield is set up and if Bellinger cause Goldschmid
• 3:27:53
  still they signed Goldschmidt. So Goldschmidt as long as he
• 3:27:56
  stays healthy he could be the first baseman all season long.
• 3:28:00
  What are they going to do with Grissom?
• 3:28:03
  Because unless Aaron Judge is going to be ADH here and there,
• 3:28:06
  and but they have, they have Carlos Grant, they have Carlos
• 3:28:10
  Giancarlo Stanton, who is, is a guy that's going to get an
• 3:28:14
  opportunity to get his, his whips at it.
• 3:28:15
  And I and John Carlos Stanton has a lot to prove this year
• 3:28:18
  because a lot of people think he's done.
• 3:28:19
  He can't stay healthy. So I, there's a lot of questions
• 3:28:24
  with the Yankees, but here's the reason why I don't think there's
• 3:28:26
  any question to the Yankees. This pitching staff is elite.
• 3:28:31
  When this pitching staff is at full strength by June, at the
• 3:28:36
  end of June with Garrett Cole, Max Freed, Schmidt, Schlittler,
• 3:28:43
  Rodon, and he'll when they have these guys and even Adam Warren,
• 3:28:50
  this this rotation is the best rotation you can argue in
• 3:28:54
  baseball and that's how good this rotation is going to be.
• 3:28:58
  Schlittler could be the number 2 before Cole comes back because
• 3:29:01
  he could be the number one. He's pitching so well and they
• 3:29:04
  have this kid. Rodriguez, though, a lot of
• 3:29:06
  people believe the Yankees are going to call up at sometime
• 3:29:08
  this year, either in the bullpen or part of this rotation.
• 3:29:12
  It's just another arm they're going to add to that rotation
• 3:29:14
  that they got from the Red Sox in a trade.
• 3:29:17
  That's why I think the Yankees now Weathers was a great move by
• 3:29:20
  Brian Cashman because what they're going to do with
• 3:29:23
  Weathers is they're going to stick them in the bullpen.
• 3:29:26
  He could become their 8th in a guy or their long relief or he
• 3:29:29
  could even be their closer. So there's a lot to to like
• 3:29:34
  about the Yankees and what they did even or what it wasn't like
• 3:29:37
  a slam dunk. It wasn't like rose petals and
• 3:29:40
  and and marriage for the Yankees or what they did in the
• 3:29:43
  offseason and Yankee fans were not excited about what they did.
• 3:29:46
  The Yankees did more than enough by Anning Bellinger and giving
• 3:29:49
  him that extension and not over over, you know, exaggerating
• 3:29:53
  with the the deal that he was looking to get him and his
• 3:29:56
  stupid Mr. Boris, his stupid agent who likes to, you know,
• 3:30:01
  RIP people off. But as far as the American
• 3:30:03
  League is, it's pretty simple. The Orioles are not winning 85
• 3:30:07
  games. There is no way this team is
• 3:30:09
  winning 85 games. It's a crazy number.
• 3:30:11
  I can't believe the number was 85.
• 3:30:14
  I would believe 75 if you're believe it.
• 3:30:16
  If you're a betting man and you want to make some money, I'd bet
• 3:30:19
  this. There's no way this team is
• 3:30:21
  winning 85 games. There's no way.
• 3:30:23
  Audios. No, I would bet for the audios.
• 3:30:25
  Yeah, that, that's a good bet. They're they're not winning 85,
• 3:30:27
  they're not winning 80 games. This is going to be red.
• 3:30:30
  Sox. Now that's another story.
• 3:30:31
  Now, here's the thing. I don't know if you're a Red Sox
• 3:30:34
  fan, but I'll tell you about their roster, what I like about
• 3:30:38
  their roster. They they Duran is a good
• 3:30:41
  player. Roman Anthony is a great player.
• 3:30:43
  They've got pieces. They added Ranger Suarez.
• 3:30:46
  Their their rotation, I mean, is pretty, pretty good man.
• 3:30:50
  I, I, they added some, you know, bats to this line up and they
• 3:30:54
  added some pitching to this line up.
• 3:30:55
  This is this is going to be a good team this year. 87 games.
• 3:31:00
  I think they win 88 games this year.
• 3:31:02
  I think they win 8889 games this year.
• 3:31:04
  I think they're a lot better. I'd, I would go over that
• 3:31:07
  number. The Blue Jays, I think they win
• 3:31:10
  no more than 88 games, no more than 88 games.
• 3:31:14
  I don't care what they've added in the offseason.
• 3:31:17
  They added some bats to this line up and and they've added a
• 3:31:20
  pitcher who Dylan sees. I don't bet on Dylan sees for
• 3:31:23
  anything. He's got weird splits and.
• 3:31:25
  Here's another thing, he's coming into the American League
• 3:31:27
  East, The American League East you're playing against top end
• 3:31:32
  power line UPS. I wouldn't bet on Dylan sees
• 3:31:36
  pitching as well as well as he was pitching for San Diego that
• 3:31:39
  last year. I as a matter of fact, I think
• 3:31:41
  Dylan sees as a has an off year and I think this pitching staff,
• 3:31:45
  which looked really, really good throughout the second-half of
• 3:31:48
  the season in the playoffs, I think they're not as good this
• 3:31:51
  year as they were last year. Yeah, it's one of those Staffs
• 3:31:54
  that has a lot of the same types of pitchers, a lot of veteran
• 3:31:57
  pitchers that are high strikeout guys and throughout their
• 3:31:59
  career. You look at Gossman, you look at
• 3:32:01
  Jose Barrios and obviously Serzer bringing him back and
• 3:32:04
  always been like, but they've also been susceptible to the
• 3:32:06
  home rumble and Cease is another prime example of that.
• 3:32:08
  And I worry about that kind of thing too.
• 3:32:10
  For a guy giving him, giving him a seven-year deal.
• 3:32:12
  It's also had injury problems and his 30.
• 3:32:14
  So I think the the process of the Blue Jays had is getting
• 3:32:18
  enough depth to withstand the injuries, which I think is good.
• 3:32:20
  But I do question a lot of the things with their pitching staff
• 3:32:23
  as well. Their bullpen was fine.
• 3:32:24
  It's usually a streaky kind of thing year to year.
• 3:32:26
  We'll see what they're line up to.
• 3:32:27
  They had a lot of rotational guys.
• 3:32:29
  Can they get the same kind of creativity going with them with
• 3:32:32
  that level of depth and? I will say this, there are not
• 3:32:35
  many great teams in the American League.
• 3:32:37
  There really isn't there there. There could be an up and down
• 3:32:40
  season. And that's why I think the
• 3:32:42
  Yankees knew that they were going to be in the driver's seat
• 3:32:44
  getting their call back because even with not as many additions
• 3:32:49
  to this lineup, their pitching staff is going to keep the games
• 3:32:52
  close. And the Yankees are not going to
• 3:32:54
  have to score six or seven runs like they used to.
• 3:32:57
  The Yankees are just going to have to score four to five runs
• 3:33:00
  and and the Yankees are going to win a lot of games.
• 3:33:03
  Now, I don't know if they're going to win scoring four or
• 3:33:06
  five runs, you know, 90 games. They're going to have to put up
• 3:33:10
  more runs in certain games. But the Yankees have the power.
• 3:33:13
  I think Spencer Jones is going to be very, very important.
• 3:33:16
  His development this year, what we saw in spring training and
• 3:33:20
  calling him up and letting Brian Cashman dead against what he
• 3:33:24
  said. And I, I'll tell you this, Brian
• 3:33:26
  Cashman saying what he said just pissed off Spencer Jones.
• 3:33:29
  And I think Spencer Jones is proving everybody wrong about
• 3:33:33
  what kind of talent you. Know what he did today?
• 3:33:35
  What? Did he do?
• 3:33:36
  2 for two. Two home runs, three RB is.
• 3:33:39
  One of them was off of Phil Matan, one of their late innings
• 3:33:43
  Mets legend, one of the better late inning relievers, you know.
• 3:33:48
  What I said about him, just so everybody knows my take, all
• 3:33:53
  everybody knows about my take, about Spencer Johnson.
• 3:33:55
  I'm going to tell you guys, I told you so I'm going to you
• 3:33:58
  guys can kiss my feet. All you Yankee fans, I told you
• 3:34:04
  guys that this guy is going to be a 3540 home run hitter.
• 3:34:08
  He's going to and I'm going to tell you this even and I'm going
• 3:34:10
  to throw even another curveball. This guy could win Rookie of the
• 3:34:14
  year in the American League this year.
• 3:34:16
  That's what I think he's going to be.
• 3:34:17
  And he's going to show you guys that when he gets on base, he's
• 3:34:20
  going to steal bases. He's faster than Aaron Judge.
• 3:34:22
  He has the ability to run. He's got a tremendous athletic
• 3:34:25
  ability. He's A5 tool player.
• 3:34:28
  His outfield skills, he can play multiple positions in the
• 3:34:31
  outfield. And some people believe he's
• 3:34:33
  just as athletic to play first base too.
• 3:34:37
  So he might be the future 1st baseman for the New York
• 3:34:40
  Yankees. He very much could be.
• 3:34:41
  Yeah. So.
• 3:34:42
  And I would say they have enough organizational.
• 3:34:44
  Depth, I think to withstand a lot of things.
• 3:34:46
  They got a good farm system. I was.
• 3:34:47
  Going to say they have, they have a farm system that shot up
• 3:34:50
  in the rankings from last year. They were a lot of people were
• 3:34:52
  worried about some of their prospect development issues.
• 3:34:54
  But again, they still got to finish the process in developing
• 3:34:56
  Habra. Lombard he he he could be called
• 3:34:59
  up this year. I was going to say, if Chisholm
• 3:35:00
  is traded like you think it could happen, Yeah, that
• 3:35:02
  probably is going to happen. They.
• 3:35:04
  Had the solution though, and then they screwed it up and now
• 3:35:07
  that solution is playing third base for the Red Sox.
• 3:35:10
  His name is Caleb Durbin and they gave him to Milwaukee for
• 3:35:13
  Devin Williams. And how much Devin Williams
• 3:35:16
  sucked. Durbin left.
• 3:35:18
  It was then sent in a trade over to yes, of course, the frickin
• 3:35:22
  Red Sox. And now I have to deal with him.
• 3:35:25
  He should have been no, we got, we got should have been our
• 3:35:28
  middle infielder stop and. We got and we got Elma
• 3:35:30
  Rodriguez. I'm not worried about that.
• 3:35:32
  We got that from the Red Sox. So one crossed over a guy that
• 3:35:36
  throws 103 mph. I think I'd go with the pitcher
• 3:35:39
  instead of the hitter. That's fine.
• 3:35:40
  And like there's other young pitchers, LaGrange look good
• 3:35:43
  until today. He got lit up today, but they
• 3:35:46
  have a lot of really good young arms.
• 3:35:48
  I just, I just don't really like the whole, oh, we don't need to
• 3:35:52
  add anybody. We're good.
• 3:35:54
  That's that was Cashman's approach this offseason, and
• 3:35:56
  it's unsettling. Fish here.
• 3:35:58
  Here's why it's not unsettling. If you're a Yankee fan, you want
• 3:36:01
  to see the young players come up and you want to see the Spencer
• 3:36:04
  Jones or the Dominguez's develop or the Lombard, right?
• 3:36:08
  Am I spelling Lombard coming up and and and being yeah, the the
• 3:36:12
  future shortstop or moving Volpe to second?
• 3:36:15
  Because I'm going to tell you guys this right now, you know,
• 3:36:16
  Volpe is going to have a better season this year.
• 3:36:18
  I'm telling you right now, Volpe will be better this year.
• 3:36:21
  I don't know if he hits more than two 5260, but if you can
• 3:36:24
  get that from your shortstop and he can give you 20 home runs
• 3:36:26
  like he did last year and give you about 60-70 RB is you're
• 3:36:30
  taking it. And he's he's a pretty good for,
• 3:36:32
  you know, good, pretty good shortstop per second baseman.
• 3:36:34
  If Lombard comes, gets called up, if Chisholm is gone.
• 3:36:38
  I I'm telling you guys right now, you do not want to see the
• 3:36:41
  Yankees bring in veteran guys and lose their thoughts to their
• 3:36:46
  their young talent in their farm system.
• 3:36:49
  And that's the problem. That was the problem with Brian
• 3:36:51
  Cashman for years. He would trade away pieces and
• 3:36:54
  some of them didn't develop. As a matter of fact, the
• 3:36:56
  majority of them didn't develop. Whitlock did he?
• 3:37:00
  He developed. He developed out of all the guys
• 3:37:03
  that they traded in that ace trade and which was an absolute
• 3:37:06
  debacle. And now he's a Red Sock.
• 3:37:07
  But Whitlock developed in a very good reliever.
• 3:37:10
  So he didn't look good at the WBC, but you know, enough said
• 3:37:14
  on that. But the fact here is, if you're
• 3:37:17
  a Yankee fan, you want Brian Cashman to believe that the
• 3:37:21
  talent is there in his farm system.
• 3:37:23
  Because if those guys are going to be called up, you have more
• 3:37:26
  control. You can take the money that you
• 3:37:28
  would invest into a veteran superstar player and then go
• 3:37:32
  after a young player that becomes available in the next
• 3:37:35
  one or two years and put the money into him where you have
• 3:37:38
  them for eight or nine years at a high level.
• 3:37:40
  I'm not worried about the Yankees and the Yankees.
• 3:37:43
  Yankees. My question to the Yankees is
• 3:37:45
  what do they do with Jazz Chisholm?
• 3:37:47
  That's what I want to know, what they're going to do.
• 3:37:49
  Are they going to keep him? Are they going to pay him?
• 3:37:52
  Are they going to move him at the trade deadline and get as
• 3:37:54
  much as you possibly can for him, Maybe put him in a trade
• 3:37:57
  with somebody else and get a star young player to be either
• 3:38:01
  your future shortstop, your second baseman or maybe 1/3
• 3:38:06
  baseman, which the Yankees have lacked ever since Alex
• 3:38:09
  Rodriguez. Yeah.
• 3:38:10
  They definitely have the assets I think to make a big bat type
• 3:38:12
  of trade if they know they're not going to keep Jazz Chisholm.
• 3:38:14
  You're right, those contract demands are absolutely
• 3:38:16
  ridiculous. Him wanting 35 million a year in
• 3:38:18
  a seven-year deal for he's never getting 20.
• 3:38:20
  Got to be 29. Nobody's paying him.
• 3:38:21
  Yeah, those are going to be ridiculous.
• 3:38:23
  You could definitely could see him Dominguez maybe another
• 3:38:25
  pitching prospect in a big move for one of those All Star
• 3:38:27
  caliber. Remember Torres.
• 3:38:29
  Remember Torres? Torres.
• 3:38:30
  I remember. You were raving about him when
• 3:38:31
  he came up. He was good and he was very good
• 3:38:34
  playoff player Yankees. And then he became available and
• 3:38:37
  he was a free agent and he was still fairly young, 26 years old
• 3:38:41
  and he thought he was going to get a big deal from the Yankees
• 3:38:43
  and the Yankees said go find another deal and where did he
• 3:38:46
  go? He signed a one year deal to
• 3:38:49
  Detroit and now I think he's still with Detroit.
• 3:38:52
  He extended himself or no? Detroit didn't extend him.
• 3:38:54
  They gave him no. They brought him back.
• 3:38:56
  Yeah, but they didn't give him a deal.
• 3:38:57
  They gave him something else like a pay in deal, like a play
• 3:39:00
  in deal this year that he has to put up or shut up or they're not
• 3:39:04
  going to give him an extension. He got the qualifying the.
• 3:39:08
  Qualifying. That's what it was, which is.
• 3:39:10
  He's got one more year. He's 28 that allows him to avoid
• 3:39:15
  the free agency mark and probably make more money than he
• 3:39:17
  would have made one year 22 point something million.
• 3:39:19
  Very. It's basically the Trent Grisham
• 3:39:21
  deal, which is interesting you mentioned that because I would
• 3:39:25
  imagine Trent Grisham has to be traded because he's blocking
• 3:39:29
  Spencer Jones and Jason Dominguez.
• 3:39:32
  So like he has to be traded and probably one of those guys is
• 3:39:36
  going to be traded as well. I agree with you.
• 3:39:39
  I really hope Dominguez is the one that gets traded, not
• 3:39:42
  Spencer Jones. I think you get more for
• 3:39:43
  Dominguez because he's younger and I think people are selling
• 3:39:47
  Jones short right now. There's his age and the
• 3:39:49
  strikeout rate they're. Not selling.
• 3:39:52
  I'm telling you, they're not selling Spencer Jones.
• 3:39:54
  You could book it so so. Then what do they do?
• 3:39:56
  Because so you say Jazz is expiring this year.
• 3:39:59
  It's a one year deal for him. He's probably not coming back,
• 3:40:01
  so he's going to want a lot, but you move him.
• 3:40:04
  Trent Grisham's probably not a guy you move in that deal,
• 3:40:06
  probably because he's a big contract.
• 3:40:07
  You're probably going to try to get a reliever for him or
• 3:40:09
  something in a separate thing if you need one.
• 3:40:13
  But you're absolutely right. If you got you got Dominguez
• 3:40:17
  sitting there and you got Jazz Chisholm, that should get you a
• 3:40:20
  huge return. It should get you a huge return.
• 3:40:24
  And where do we put that return if Volpe can't play short, it
• 3:40:28
  has to be a shortstop. And if you don't trust, Lumbar's
• 3:40:31
  going to be on Oh they. They trust.
• 3:40:33
  They trust, but. What if they want lumbar to be
• 3:40:35
  second and they can get like an elite, elite guy who's also
• 3:40:39
  really good defensively to play short?
• 3:40:40
  I don't know who would be. I'm just saying in general you'd
• 3:40:43
  be OK with that because now you have great up the middle
• 3:40:45
  defense. So you don't care if you have to
• 3:40:48
  move a shortstop to second. Now you're great in the middle
• 3:40:50
  of the defense. Or do you move a guy or you just
• 3:40:52
  try to get a third base bat because there's more?
• 3:40:54
  I think that's the way they go. And I'm going to tell you this,
• 3:40:57
  Manny Machado could become available this year.
• 3:41:00
  I think San Diego is going to try to move pieces.
• 3:41:03
  They they've invested too much money into guys like Tatis.
• 3:41:06
  And, and I don't, I don't know if anybody's going to be
• 3:41:08
  interested in bringing Tatis in, even with the steroid situation
• 3:41:12
  that he's had in the past. Manny Machado has another I
• 3:41:16
  think 4 years left on his contract.
• 3:41:18
  The Yankees are clearing contracts with Giancarlo Stanton
• 3:41:21
  in the next year. They can buy him out at the end
• 3:41:23
  of the year. They can take Manny Machado,
• 3:41:25
  move Manny Machado the third base.
• 3:41:27
  He always wanted to be Yankee, grew up a Yankee fan and I think
• 3:41:30
  that would solidify their third base position, which they
• 3:41:33
  haven't really had since Alex Rodriguez.
• 3:41:35
  Let's be honest, They they've tried to add players all these
• 3:41:39
  years. Cabrera's played there.
• 3:41:41
  It just hasn't worked and I think that.
• 3:41:43
  Is that enough for Machado? No, they're.
• 3:41:45
  Going to move all the guys. Jason.
• 3:41:47
  Jason Dominguez. Jazz Chisholm.
• 3:41:51
  What else would you need to get? And a prospect and a prospect.
• 3:41:54
  And and maybe a pitching prospect.
• 3:41:55
  A prospect. Yeah, they're not going to have
• 3:41:57
  to give up much because you have to take his contract on.
• 3:42:00
  So I, I think I could see Manny Machado being a name that could
• 3:42:04
  be talked about, especially if San Diego starts slow this year.
• 3:42:08
  And, and I think they could because because the division is
• 3:42:11
  so good and you look at I think the Diamondbacks are going to be
• 3:42:15
  a lot better than people think they're going to be.
• 3:42:17
  I think that's been unlucky with injury.
• 3:42:19
  I love the Diamondback station. I wouldn't even be surprised if
• 3:42:21
  they're just as good as the Dodgers this year, that's how.
• 3:42:25
  I got a Diamondbacks name for you to remember.
• 3:42:27
  He's a pitcher. Ryan Nelson.
• 3:42:30
  Yes, I've been hearing full. Nelson a lot of.
• 3:42:31
  People tell Full Nelson he's going to go to the Full Nelson
• 3:42:34
  this year. He's going to be one of the
• 3:42:35
  better pitchers. I.
• 3:42:36
  Like I like, what is it, Wet Trip?
• 3:42:38
  What is his name? I like that name.
• 3:42:39
  Waldrip. Waldrip.
• 3:42:40
  That's it. Waldrip.
• 3:42:41
  I like that. Waldrip I'm going to get.
• 3:42:43
  I'm going to get his jersey. I'm going to get Waldrip.
• 3:42:46
  That's. It fish.
• 3:42:49
  What did Java say? He's like the last like half
• 3:42:51
  knuckleballer in the league. Waldrip, yeah.
• 3:42:54
  Something like that, I don't remember.
• 3:42:56
  All of those Braves pitchers are heard, but I don't know, look,
• 3:42:59
  the Yankees, they have a Waldrip make and they without making a
• 3:43:03
  move, they might be good enough, but they have the assets to make
• 3:43:07
  the move, so they should win. And I do agree, I don't think
• 3:43:10
  Toronto did enough. A lot of people like Okamoto.
• 3:43:13
  I know you love his name. Okamoto Okamoto, they say.
• 3:43:17
  He's supposed to be pretty good. He's probably, he's supposed to
• 3:43:19
  be the best of the Japanese guys that came over this year, so.
• 3:43:22
  And I believe in the Easter Bunny.
• 3:43:23
  Let's go. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:43:25
  a final segment of the night is what's that smell?
• 3:43:29
  Hold up, what is that smell? What's right smell?
• 3:43:37
  Wow, you. Don't.
• 3:43:38
  See that everyday. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:43:41
  it's pretty simple how you play this game it it's a game.
• 3:43:44
  Everything on the show could be a game.
• 3:43:46
  And if you want it to stick to the wall, well, you better make
• 3:43:48
  it stick. So it's very simple.
• 3:43:51
  We're going to tell you a story that's happened in the world of
• 3:43:54
  sports or something that is particular and we're going to
• 3:43:57
  tell you what it smells like. So tonight we're going to go
• 3:44:01
  with Tommy Speedy Fish. Q me.
• 3:44:07
  Here we go, all. Right.
• 3:44:10
  Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to be starting off going to the
• 3:44:13
  amendment. Ladies and gentlemen.
• 3:44:14
  Austra men's basketball. Not just men.
• 3:44:16
  'S basketball baby. Clacks.
• 3:44:18
  Errol mentioned a little bit earlier.
• 3:44:19
  But smell my ass, you know I'm going to keep it nice and sweet.
• 3:44:22
  Only for the fact that although this team did of course blow, I
• 3:44:26
  started. Tumbling.
• 3:44:27
  Once this team was up 12 points, played really well in the first
• 3:44:30
  half, but also ultimately lost 20 points, I got to hand it to
• 3:44:34
  them, this team did absolutely everything that they needed to
• 3:44:36
  do. Looking at this team before the
• 3:44:38
  season even started, there was a lot of questions.
• 3:44:40
  Even last season. All around campus, all anybody
• 3:44:43
  would talk about was is this. The last.
• 3:44:45
  Time that Speedy Claxton's going to be on the team?
• 3:44:47
  Or is it a better move to keep Speedy Claxton with them and
• 3:44:50
  Speedy Claxton? Squeeze the cheese sitting.
• 3:44:52
  In on their practices having the chance to talk to some of these
• 3:44:54
  students knowing how hard they work, knowing how some of them
• 3:44:57
  transfer just to get the opportunity to play under Speedy
• 3:45:00
  Claxton. You have Preston Ed meet a Long
• 3:45:02
  Island native who stayed in Long Island as long as he can just so
• 3:45:06
  that he could play over there in Hofstra for Mr. Speedy Claxton.
• 3:45:11
  I got to say I got to hand it to them I got to I got to tip my
• 3:45:14
  hat off to them. Everything they deserve
• 3:45:15
  everything that they get this season this season they did
• 3:45:19
  everything that they needed to and it really paid off They won
• 3:45:22
  the CIA championship and really the atmosphere and everything
• 3:45:25
  around them couldn't have been any more better.
• 3:45:27
  So although that, like I said, the alternative didn't end up
• 3:45:31
  happening the way we wanted it to, at least the first run when
• 3:45:34
  would have been happening first round exit.
• 3:45:35
  Look, all you could say is that so proud of this team.
• 3:45:38
  Hats off. And it smells like the flowers
• 3:45:40
  that Speedy Claxton and the rest of this team truly deserve.
• 3:45:43
  A. Neutral on a Bush and don't want
• 3:45:45
  to think about it now. I do not want to think about it.
• 3:45:47
  I don't. Know about a Bush?
• 3:45:48
  I don't know how that would smell.
• 3:45:49
  I don't know what, Yeah. I'm going to say Speedies, He
• 3:45:54
  hasn't trimmed that Bush in his, you know his his time being on
• 3:45:57
  this earth, right, Speedy? No, I'm not.
• 3:46:01
  You know, maybe we quit, you know, Quinton, we maybe we need
• 3:46:05
  to take him to a Brazilian waxing.
• 3:46:07
  What do you think? No good answer, no man let you
• 3:46:14
  do my buzz speedy like that. Yeah.
• 3:46:16
  Are you going to buzz him then? No.
• 3:46:22
  Might need a machete. Another.
• 3:46:23
  College basketball coach that maybe is in more hot water than
• 3:46:26
  Speedy Claxon. He actually did a good job with
• 3:46:28
  not a lot of money. Someone who didn't do a good job
• 3:46:30
  with a lot of money. That was Mark Pope with Kentucky
• 3:46:33
  and guess what he decides to say after they lose badly to Iowa
• 3:46:37
  State? Oh, at least my tenure at
• 3:46:40
  Kentucky so far has been better than.
• 3:46:42
  The John. Calipari era.
• 3:46:43
  OK, yeah, maybe technically, literally, that could be true.
• 3:46:47
  They did lose the Saint Peters. I had the winning it all that
• 3:46:49
  year 15. They lost 15.
• 3:46:51
  You can. See, they missed the tournament
• 3:46:52
  a year after COVID. Well, let's see how he's done
• 3:46:54
  since Arkansas been. There.
• 3:46:56
  You guys went to the same round as Arkansas last year as a three
• 3:46:59
  seed. Well, they were a 10 seed.
• 3:47:01
  And now this year you're eliminated first while Arkansas
• 3:47:04
  has headed to the Sweet 16. And also you have a $22 million
• 3:47:09
  NIL budget for your basketball team this year, which is the
• 3:47:12
  highest in college basketball this year.
• 3:47:14
  And you could only get to the second round and didn't have a
• 3:47:16
  great record. And now you're just going to
• 3:47:18
  throw shade at Calipari's past for how you got a job.
• 3:47:20
  Great job, Mark Pope. So what does it smell like?
• 3:47:23
  It smells like the decay of 22,000,000 dead priests playing
• 3:47:28
  basketball. Can't wait.
• 3:47:31
  Dead priests playing basketball I had.
• 3:47:33
  To do a Pope reference. Oh, the Pope reference, I guess
• 3:47:40
  we're staying with a lot of college basketball coaches
• 3:47:43
  tonight, Errol. I'm going to Villanova because
• 3:47:48
  we've already talked about him once this basketball season.
• 3:47:51
  I believe he was on the show before I joined Mr. Kevin
• 3:47:54
  Willard, head coach of Villano. He wasn't no, he's mentioned he
• 3:47:58
  was something about him. But regardless, he made some
• 3:48:02
  viral comments in the middle of the Wildcats loss to Utah State
• 3:48:07
  on Friday in the first round. I don't so like when I went to
• 3:48:13
  become a teacher, the first thing that you have to sit
• 3:48:18
  through all these courses that tell you how you're supposed to
• 3:48:20
  act as a teacher, and one person actually came in and said never
• 3:48:23
  be sarcastic to kids. Never.
• 3:48:27
  It's the worst thing. Well, apparently that's how
• 3:48:30
  they've been teaching people and they've grown up not to
• 3:48:32
  understand sarcasm. Kevin Willard apparently at
• 3:48:35
  halftime told TNT Sports Lauren Shahati, I'm going to fire my
• 3:48:39
  staff. Yeah, I am because we've given
• 3:48:42
  up eight points on underneath, out of bounds defense.
• 3:48:44
  The only thing I'm going to do is fire them and get a new
• 3:48:47
  staff. I was sorry.
• 3:48:48
  That was early in the first half.
• 3:48:50
  After the game, he doubled down on the exact comments.
• 3:48:54
  Yeah, I'm probably going to have to make some changes to my staff
• 3:48:56
  just because of how bad we were. The next reporter asked him.
• 3:49:00
  You just mentioned making stuffed changes to your staff.
• 3:49:03
  He goes, It's a joke. Well, that's what I wanted to
• 3:49:06
  ask you about. You gave an interview during the
• 3:49:08
  game. It went viral.
• 3:49:08
  You've been pretty. You've been criticized heavily
• 3:49:12
  online, he said. I don't care.
• 3:49:14
  Welcome to my life. Breaking news, I'm putting you
• 3:49:18
  on a leash now. What does that smell like?
• 3:49:22
  It smells great. It's I need.
• 3:49:23
  Britney also. You wouldn't believe how good
• 3:49:26
  this smells. It's the one of the greatest
• 3:49:28
  smells of all time. Speedy.
• 3:49:30
  'S mom. It's the smell of sarcasm.
• 3:49:34
  They call me the ladies man and Mr. Still your girl.
• 3:49:37
  Yeah, I'm just stay in my warehouse.
• 3:49:39
  Joe Mozzola for Culture of the Year.
• 3:49:41
  This year he's done it. I just had one coaching a month.
• 3:49:46
  I want to make sure I have add that he's coaching the system.
• 3:49:50
  You guys know how much I love systems.
• 3:49:52
  I don't do the stars, I do the systems.
• 3:49:54
  And so he's been a tremendous coach this year in regards to
• 3:49:59
  getting the wins, getting guys to play into the system and
• 3:50:03
  overall being I think we're at second or third in the East.
• 3:50:07
  What is wheat? Who is?
• 3:50:08
  Wheat 2000 and three 627 NBA championship please.
• 3:50:15
  Roses really smell like. Crap.
• 3:50:21
  Would you put the Rose on your cake?
• 3:50:24
  Roses. For the honey.
• 3:50:26
  First of all, roses smell like crap.
• 3:50:28
  OK, so everybody smell the roses.
• 3:50:31
  Smell. The rosy It's garbage.
• 3:50:34
  I'd. Rather smell a Daisy than a
• 3:50:35
  Rolex. And it smells like COO COO
• 3:50:39
  cooch. That's the difference in carpets
• 3:50:42
  it. Was horny tonight.
• 3:50:46
  Get out of here. Only tonight.
• 3:50:50
  Breaking news. I farted.
• 3:50:51
  Breaking news all. Right, my final.
• 3:50:55
  What's that smell goes to Danny Hurley?
• 3:50:58
  Wait until you love this story. Well, it is a story.
• 3:51:01
  Tom Izzo has turned down multiple opportunities in
• 3:51:04
  coaching jobs in the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the
• 3:51:07
  Atlanta Hawks. When Los Angeles were willing to
• 3:51:11
  pay Uconn's coach Dan Hurley a six year, $70 million contract
• 3:51:16
  in 2024, Hurley asked Izzo for advice and Izzo told him.
• 3:51:21
  I told him seriously, look at it because I could see where
• 3:51:25
  college basketball was going, Izzo told the Associate Press on
• 3:51:29
  Monday. But I said I would hate to lose
• 3:51:32
  him because I think he's all what's right in college
• 3:51:35
  basketball right now. So think about it, guys.
• 3:51:40
  Tom Izzo is the reason why. Yes, Danny Hurley didn't take
• 3:51:45
  that job. It was Tom Izzo that was the one
• 3:51:49
  that spread his wings, spread his petals, as our friend Q
• 3:51:54
  would say, you know, smell the roses.
• 3:51:57
  As you would say I I wouldn't smell the roses, I'd be smelling
• 3:51:59
  diarrhea. But nevertheless, this story
• 3:52:04
  only tells me one thing, that Tom Izzo was jealous that Danny
• 3:52:09
  Hurley was being offered a six year, 70 million dollar, $70
• 3:52:15
  million contract from the Los Angeles Lakers and he wanted the
• 3:52:19
  job, so he told Danny not to take it.
• 3:52:24
  That's what I would think. I, I don't know, but it is a
• 3:52:27
  pretty interesting story. I'm interested to hear what
• 3:52:30
  Danny Hurley thought about that take after he talked to the
• 3:52:35
  Associate Press. But nevertheless, what does it
• 3:52:38
  smell like? It smells like the Celtics are
• 3:52:41
  going to lose in the second round against the Knicks.
• 3:52:45
  That's what it smells like. Must be stuffy, must be stopped
• 3:52:47
  up. Well, you know, I'm, I am
• 3:52:49
  stuffy, stuffy in many different ways.
• 3:52:51
  That's, well, you know, it's it's somewhere in the other side
• 3:52:55
  of my rear end, if you know what I mean.
• 3:52:57
  There it is. What's that difference?
• 3:52:59
  Yeah, that's true. What is the difference, Speedy?
• 3:53:02
  That kind of looks good. You actually look good in that
• 3:53:04
  picture, Speedy. And why am I always the one
• 3:53:06
  singing? Q is DJ, Q says.
• 3:53:10
  That they never get me right facial features.
• 3:53:13
  I told it to make. I told it to make.
• 3:53:16
  Q Doctor Dre, You, Eminem and Speedy Exhibit from the What's
• 3:53:21
  the Difference music video. Speedy doesn't look like
• 3:53:24
  Exhibit, but it's a good try. What's the difference between?
• 3:53:29
  Me and you. I'm going to smack Speedy right
• 3:53:32
  in the back of the head. Right, Speedy, Speedy, give us a
• 3:53:35
  good one. Speedy, give me a favor, Do me a
• 3:53:37
  favor. Do me a favor.
• 3:53:38
  Give us a Billy Joel song before we go.
• 3:53:42
  Bottle of red, bottle of wine for the kind of mood you're in
• 3:53:50
  tonight. Anything you want in Italian
• 3:53:56
  restaurant. I love it.
• 3:54:04
  Bottle of racing. Way to end the night.
• 3:54:07
  Bottle of wine. That was good.
• 3:54:12
  That was good. Way to end.
• 3:54:13
  The night. Yeah, he definitely knows how to
• 3:54:15
  hit him. No, that's for sure.
• 3:54:17
  Imagine if a girl gets him in the right place, if you know
• 3:54:19
  what I mean. You're going to.
• 3:54:22
  Imagine that all you want. Well, no, you're not going.
• 3:54:27

  He couldn't to do it, but our friend Dan Purcell will be back
• 3:55:46
  on president of Scout Central and a former Pelicans executive.
• 3:55:49
  He'll be coming on at 8:30. This guy knows everything about
• 3:55:53
  the talent that's coming out of this year's draft class.
• 3:55:55
  As a matter of fact, four years ago he came on the show and he
• 3:55:58
  told us about this draft class and he told us watch out for
• 3:56:02
  2026 and 2027 on the talent that's coming out.
• 3:56:07
  And he said 2026 is the best class since LeBron James's
• 3:56:11
  class. So, and I would love to hear his
• 3:56:14
  take on Cambuser, Peterson and the Beza where he thinks these
• 3:56:19
  guys are going to fall and who does he think is going to be the
• 3:56:24
  better player in the NBA. So very interesting.
