Will MAXX CROSBY want OUT from the RAIDERS? · NY's Sports Loud Mouth (VIDEO)

0:00
They're going to have a ton of money to spend.
0:01
Why not put it in one of the top three offensive players in the
0:05
league? We're going to be looking at
0:14
Aaron Judge and saying that he can't win the big game, Michael
0:17
Jordan said. I played 82 games.
0:20
You don't see Levon doing that A.
0:22
Game where? You got to go before I told you
0:25
giant feet. Save more Barkley at this point,
0:28
say Let's do it.
1:27
You're listening to Jabba and the Mouth.
1:33
New Year's Eve is around the corner.
1:35
We got one more, I don't know, story for Jabba and the Mouth
1:41
for the year to end. And tonight is the story filled
1:46
journey of the NFL season and the tail end of the NFL season
1:52
and where we believe the NFL season will end up in San
1:58
Francisco. 631-672-3108 isn't number to call.

2:57
com. When you look at sports and and
3:00
as a New York fan, you you, you only hope and you wonder when
3:06
these teams are going to change and get better.
3:10
And that's what I do every single year.
3:13
It doesn't matter if it's Tommy rooting for his Giants or his
3:16
Knicks or whoever he roots for the Yankees, or Speedy rooting
3:20
for his Mets, his Giants and his Rangers.
3:24
Or even our man in the back end who was just speaking on our
3:29
opening, Mr. Aaron Fish Fishman, who is out there always
3:35
preaching Giants football, Giants football, let's go
3:39
Giants. But the Giants and where they're
3:45
heading could be in a better position than the New York Jets.
3:48
And there's a lot of reasons why.
3:50
And I will get into that a little bit later in the show.
3:53
Not because of the talent, it's just because the Giants have won
3:58
Super Bowls in the last 50 years.
4:02
At least we can go back in 2011 when Eli Manning was there and
4:06
Mario Manningham and and those idiots.
4:15
I'm not making fun of Justin Tuck.
4:17
I love Justin Tuck. He was nothing but nice to me
4:20
over the years when I've interviewed him and every time I
4:23
see him, he remembers me. So I I'm not going to put down
4:26
Justin Tuck or OC human your, but I just think that the Giants
4:33
have an understanding what it takes to win The Jets.
4:36
I can't remember the last time they know what to do when it
4:38
comes to winning. And that's New York sports,
4:41
guys. We sit here, we prop, we make
4:45
jokes, we do all this stuff that we do all the time about New
4:48
York sports. And it really just goes around
4:51
in a circle like Adam Sandler and Chuck and Larry, which I
4:54
bring up that movie all the time on this show.
4:57
It's it's a circle. It's a circle because it's a
4:59
circle that never ends. It never ends, ladies and
5:03
gentlemen. And hopefully one day all our
5:06
New York teams will find an understanding on what it takes
5:10
to win. I don't know if it's going to
5:12
happen anytime soon, but you just wonder if all these
5:16
organizations and all these teams and all these owners with
5:19
all the money they invest in, including Hal Steinbrenner, who
5:22
comes out and says deferred money.
5:25
I admit that deferred money really annoys the hell out of
5:27
me. But there is no way in hell I
5:31
want to hear a Steinbrenner complain about the league and
5:35
what the league needs to do when it comes to money.
5:37
Because the Yankees forever have spent billions and billions of
5:42
dollars on players. Maybe it was his father and
5:44
George, but nevertheless, I don't want to hear the crybaby
5:48
antics. I have a a hat rack that holds
5:52
500 hats and 90% of them are Yankee hats.
5:57
Tell me, ladies and gentlemen, where does all that money go?
6:01
It doesn't go to me. It goes to those teams and and
6:05
those companies that are obviously sponsoring or using
6:09
the Yankees as advertisements and making tons and tons of
6:12
money. You're you're funding Jazz
6:13
Jism's extension. That's exactly what I'm doing.
6:16
That's exactly what I'm doing, ladies and gentlemen, funding
6:19
these organizations to loose and that's tonight is what we're
6:24
getting into 2026. Is it going to be a losing year
6:30
for New York fans or a winning year for New York fans?
6:34
I'm pushing towards losing. But hey, you know what?
6:37
We can hope that it could change with a blink of an eye.
6:42
I I just hope, and that's why that's what I wanted to get into
6:45
in the beginning of the show. I want to give a shout out to my
6:47
man Ralph over there in Farmingdale, a guy that works
6:50
with me well, did work with me. I want to give a shout out to
6:53
him and his family if he's listening to the show.
6:55
Shout out to the boys at Northwell.
6:58
Even though I can't stand the organization, I love you guys.
7:01
But yeah, I, I just want to let everybody know that I am looking
7:05
forward to 2026 because there's great opportunity for this show.
7:09
I think we're right now at one point, I would say about 72
7:14
hours ago, we were ranked 117th in the country for Spotify and
7:20
Apple for well, we're under football shows, which is over
7:23
170,000 football shows. So.
7:27
And I wanted to make sure and everybody asked me why are we
7:29
under football when we talk all sports And it's very simple.
7:32
There are more football shows than any other sport, any other
7:36
sport when it comes to podcasting.
7:39
And I wanted to compete against all the top ones and we're doing
7:42
a great job. So I want to give a shout out to
7:44
the boys, all the guys, including the guy biting his
7:46
nails over here, which is disgusting by the way, Mr. Poops
7:50
over here biting his nails. But hey, all the boys, all the
7:53
guys on the behind the scenes. It I know everybody says, you
7:56
know, it's great watching and listen to you guys and and
8:00
Errol, you're you're sensational, but I wouldn't be
8:02
able to do this show if it wasn't for everybody on the back
8:06
end of this show. So I want to give a shout out to
8:08
the guys, Speedy Fish, those guys, even Tommy, everybody
8:15
Niffin, all you guys that put the time and all the interns
8:18
that we've worked with all year round.
8:21
I want to give a shout out to all you guys because job in the
8:24
mouth wouldn't be job in the mouth without everybody working
8:27
and putting the time in. And I have to credit all of you
8:30
guys. This show wouldn't be a show
8:32
without you guys. So I want to thank everybody and
8:35
all the fans out there, everybody that tunes in,
8:38
downloads, listens to us week by week.
8:41
Can't wait until the next story that I put out or some of the
8:45
stuff that I said and some people think I'm just absolutely
8:48
out of my mind, which I admit I probably am.
8:51
I just want to let you guys know that I love you guys and I
8:56
really appreciate all the people that TuneIn and listen to us and
9:00
give us the opportunity to entertain you guys.
9:02
So thank you as all should be watching tonight because I don't
9:07
know what's going to happen. The Giants beat the Raiders
9:10
yesterday. The two worst teams in the NFL
9:12
faced off the Raiders and the Giants duked it out for the
9:16
chance to be the in the driver's seat for the number one pick in
9:20
2026 and in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Giants easily beat the
9:25
Raiders 34 to 10 as the Raiders were without key starters in
9:30
tight end Brock Bowers and defensive end Max Crosby who
9:35
were put on the IR before the game in what could only be
9:39
described as an absolute tank. Adam Schefner reports that the
9:45
Raiders put Max Crosby on the season ending injury reserve and
9:50
he will get knee surgery. Fox Sports Jay Glazer reports
9:54
that Crosby left the team facility to to a disagreement
10:00
over being put on an eye on the IR, saying that he wanted to to
10:05
play the final two games and didn't care about the Raiders
10:09
getting the number one overall pick in the draft.
10:12
Glazier added that while Crosby said he didn't want to be part
10:16
of part ways with the Raiders, he doesn't think that will stay
10:22
the same this offseason. Despite winning the game, the
10:25
Giants are still currently the number two pick and The Jets #3
10:29
the Titans and the Cardinals losing all the way 3-4 and five.
10:35
All four teams have a three and 13 record.
10:39
The Browns move up to this number six pick following their
10:44
upset with the Steelers and the Commanders are at #7 both at
10:49
four wins. I, I mean, the draft is so up
10:54
down, you don't know what these guys are going to be honestly.
10:58
And I, I do believe Mendoza is going to be the number one pick.
11:01
And I think that's where Las Vegas wanted to go.
11:05
And they're definitely going for that number one pick.
11:08
And they knew that if the Giants were sitting at one, they're
11:11
trading out of that pick. Everybody knows that the Giants
11:15
and less, and I'll say this, if Joe Shane's gone and the Giants
11:20
were sitting at one, I wrote a story that the Giants have to
11:22
consider Mendoza, consider him, But it's not going to fall that
11:28
way. So the Giants are going to stay
11:29
with Jackson Tart at #2 maybe they trade out of that pick.
11:32
I don't know what the Giants are going to do.
11:33
They're still positioned in a very good way and they still
11:37
could move out of that pick and get the player of their choosing
11:39
and add to their draft stock. But at 1:00 and hearing this
11:45
story that Max Crosby, I'm not even going to say Brock Bowers
11:49
because Brock Bowers is a quiet guy.
11:51
He never speaks, even when he he fell out of the top ten in the
11:56
draft a couple of years ago. And a lot of people were
11:59
questioning that at where where did he go in the 1313?
12:03
And I, I remember that because a lot of Jet fans wanted Brock
12:06
Bowers and it was a lot of complaints that The Jets didn't
12:09
go after him. But hey, they went with an
12:12
offensive lineman and as well as they should.
12:15
I will say this, Brock Bauer's never gone out there and throw
12:18
any organization, George or anybody under the bus when the
12:22
guy is one of the best tight ends, one of the more talented
12:25
tight ends we've seen in a very long time.
12:28
This man. And I'll say this about Max
12:30
Crosby. I love Max Crosby.
12:33
I love his personality. I love how he goes out there.
12:36
He, he really, he, he, he puts a lot on his own shoulders with
12:40
the defense and, and really the personality of this organization
12:44
and team. And I remember I Devante Adams
12:48
was playing for this team a couple of years ago and I
12:51
watched the Quarterback 5 on Netflix and Devante Adams before
12:57
he was traded to The Jets. You got a chance to get to know
13:00
Max Crosby and and Devante Adams's relationship and Devante
13:06
says or said one of the brightest and interesting
13:09
personalities ever played with is is Max Crosby and on and off
13:15
the field. The guy is not quiet.
13:17
He's very outspoken and he he he expresses himself in many
13:22
different ways and that I think that shows with the tattoos all
13:25
over his body. He is a unique personality and
13:29
when you hear the Raiders and and Max already said he never
13:32
wants to be traded. He wants to be a Raider for
13:34
life. And now you hear a story like
13:36
this and you're questioning if the Raiders made the right
13:39
decision sitting a guy like Max Crosby who came out and said
13:42
that he wants to play the final two games.
13:44
He doesn't care about getting the number one pick.
13:48
This organization has had a problem keeping superstars
13:52
there. And you have one of the best
13:55
pass rushers in all of football. You could say he's outspoken,
14:00
you could say he's on drugs. Whatever you want to say about
14:02
the guy, the guy is an amazing player.
14:06
And now he's mad. And when you you go into an
14:09
offseason with a mad player, a 79 year old coach who might be
14:15
looking for, I don't know, looking for a place to stay
14:18
because he's going to need his kids or his wife to take care of
14:21
them. Because I think the most he's
14:23
done on a football field is too is gum.
14:27
I mean, you you have to worry that the Raiders might lose a
14:31
play of this magnitude. And after, if Max Crosby gets
14:34
traded because he doesn't want to be there, what do you have
14:37
there, Brock Bowers? How long is it going to be when
14:40
Brock Bowers says I don't want to be here anymore?
14:42
I don't want to play for a losing organization.
14:44
I want to win and bring in Mendoza there.
14:47
It's great. He is a great kid.
14:49
I think you'll fit fit there in Vegas.
14:51
The Vegas fans are going to love him.
14:53
The organization and Vegas. I just I feel like as as
14:58
beautiful as the the city is and the casinos, you get lost there.
15:04
You really get lost there. And I think when you think about
15:08
Vegas now when it comes to sports team, you think about you
15:11
think about hockey, you don't you don't really think about the
15:15
football team because the football team stakes.
15:18
They stake the hockey team's one of the best in the NHL since
15:22
they were they were they brought, they were brought as a
15:26
franchise to the organ, you know, to to Vegas.
15:30
They have not been successful. The Raiders ever since they
15:33
moved from Oakland, they haven't been successful successful in
15:36
Oakland for many, many years. That's why they had to move
15:40
because they couldn't sell out stadiums.
15:42
The stadium was falling apart and the owner in Davis is an
15:47
idiot, Needs a new haircut or a new hairstyle.
15:50
I mean, he's got a beautiful, sexy girlfriend who's like 1819,
15:54
whatever, however old she is. I don't know how it's legal.
15:58
I mean, honestly, when you hear Max Crosby telling reporters or
16:04
whatever, whoever, whoever he's speaking to off air, which is
16:08
getting out into the public eye, it has to have you wondering if
16:13
Max Crosby is going to ask for his his papers.
16:16
As for out he he could go to many different organizations
16:19
that would give a boatload of picks to get a a young and he's
16:23
still fairly young. He's only 2829 years old.
16:26
He's in the, to me, the prime of his career.
16:28
He still could play at a top level.
16:30
I mean, he could change your franchise.
16:32
Look at Michael Parsons. Now, I'm not saying I I honestly
16:35
think that, and this is my opinion.
16:37
Max Crosby is more of a franchise changer than Michael
16:41
Parsons just because of his personality, what he brings to
16:45
the table and, and what he does to the media.
16:48
When he goes out there and he speaks to the media, the guy is
16:51
fun to listen to. Micah's quiet, absurd.
16:55
I mean, he sometimes is oblivious.
16:59
I I mean, when Micah talks, you wonder where he's going with the
17:03
conversation. You know where Max Crosby is
17:06
going. Every time he speaks to the
17:08
media, he's out of his mind. And as far as the Giants are
17:12
concerned, winning or losing, the Giants are still positioned
17:17
in a very good place. They're sitting at #2 There
17:20
might be a new GM in place. There's definitely going to be a
17:23
new coach. They trade out, they sit there,
17:25
they're going to get a good player.
17:27
And the Giants were never going after Mendoza.
17:29
So it to me, winning that game didn't hurt the Giants.
17:33
It didn't, it didn't benefit the Giants either.
17:36
So I, I mean, when you look at this game and you look at the
17:40
potential of where the Raiders are now and if I was Mendoza
17:46
does Mendoza and I'm Mendoza doesn't seem like the
17:48
personality or the type of person that's going to tell the
17:51
organization, I don't want to play there.
17:53
But I, I mean, when he was in New York, he loved it.
17:58
I'm telling you guys fans, I was there at the Heisman.
18:01
He loved the New York media. He loved it.
18:04
He was feasting on it and it just there was some kind of vibe
18:08
about him. Just man.
18:10
Does it tell the Vegas Raiders I don't want to play there.
18:13
I have no interest in playing there.
18:16
Let me trade me to the Giants or trade me to The Jets.
18:19
I do something. I'm not playing for the Raiders.
18:22
I mean, because what do they have to look forward to?
18:25
What do the Raiders have when it But besides Brock Bowers, they
18:28
got no wide receivers. Jacoby Myers is not there
18:31
anymore. What do they got?
18:33
You're going to an organization as a 7980 year old coach, a
18:37
running game. Josh Jacobs, he signed as a free
18:40
agent with the Green Bay Packers.
18:42
I mean, they have no running game.
18:44
They got nothing there. They have nothing.
18:47
And and the offensive line, Oh my God, Mendoza is a pocket
18:51
quarterback. How the hell is that going to
18:53
work? You have no offensive line and
18:56
you have no investment in that offensive line.
18:59
What are you going to do in the offseason?
19:01
Offensive lineman don't grow on trees.
19:03
Fish, you know this it they don't grow on trees.
19:06
You don't just find them in free agency, you draft them.
19:11
So now you're going to me into a season with Mendoza where he's
19:16
not protected in his blind side. Good luck.
19:19
This guy's not going to last the first Cuban American born
19:23
quarterback drafted at one and he's not going to last more than
19:27
a year or two because the guy's going to be killed.
19:30
He's going to be clothesline. That's all I got to say about
19:33
it. As far as far as the Giants in
19:35
the in the Raiders game and and, and really the Raiders
19:37
situation. I feel bad because Max Crosby
19:40
just shows you how much he loves the organization and loves to
19:43
play football and the Raiders organization will do anything to
19:46
lose so they can get that number one pick.
19:48
Yeah, right. Max Crosby is somebody that when
19:50
you ever say a franchise defining guy, like play, play
19:53
like the play like a Raider, like defining Raider nation.
19:56
That's the intensity that you always want with that old school
19:58
Raiders mentality and now you're.
20:00
Having this kind of thing. This was a guy that was a fifth
20:02
round pick in John Gruden second year and he went through all of
20:07
that drama that went on there with that whole saga, then the
20:10
whole drama with the Devante Adam saga last year and many
20:12
other things and all these coaching changes now.
20:15
And now you're going to throw him away because he wants to
20:17
play for the last two games of the year.
20:20
I understand if you want to put him on season ending IR, if he
20:22
has this injury in week 8 or week 9 and you're out of it,
20:25
it's two games he wants to play. Let him play.
20:27
You cannot damage a reputation like that.
20:30
You saw the Bengals do that with Trey Hendrickson for a year and
20:32
1/2. He wanted to be traded.
20:34
Like there was thoughts of him being traded at the 2024 draft.
20:37
And now look where that saga goes.
20:38
And they're not going to either going to have to let him go or
20:40
they're going to franchise tag him and trade him for a day
20:41
three pick at this point. And Max Crosby's a better player
20:44
than Trey Hendrickson and stays healthier in general.
20:46
And he what he does, heard he still plays through it and he
20:49
wanted to play through it in this game.
20:50
I don't think he was hurt. Yeah, he was playing as far as I
20:54
was. I heard Nathan was telling me
20:56
that he was playing basketball, he was shooting hoops, that the
21:00
day before they announced that he was going to be put on IR.
21:03
So what does that tell you about him?
21:04
He's going to have knee surgery. Get out of here.
21:07
That to me, that was to was their way.
21:10
And it was, I believe, Max Crosby's way of telling the
21:13
organization to go F themselves. And that's why he wanted
21:17
everybody to see that he was playing basketball and it was
21:20
the organization's way of saying we have power, we could do
21:23
whatever we want. And we saw it last year, too,
21:25
with Miles Garrett. Like Miles Garrett, we
21:28
eventually got paid by the Browns, but he survived the
21:30
turmoil in that organization, the dysfunction that they've
21:33
been going on to. And if you look at like, the
21:34
21st century organizations, like you would say Washington with
21:38
Dan Snyder or the Browns and the Raiders, those will probably be
21:40
the three you look at and say, what are they doing wrong?
21:42
And like pretty much every era, yeah, the Raiders have made the
21:45
playoffs on occasion. I'll give them credit, in the
21:47
2021 year when Gruden resigned and then they had an interim
21:50
coach, they went to the playoffs, they had a good sense
21:52
of adversity, and then they went all downhill again after that
21:55
because they don't want to keep the players happy there.
21:57
Devante Adams loved the idea of playing in Vegas, loved the idea
22:01
of playing in the South. Because of his family.
22:02
Because of his family over there and it never seemed like he had
22:05
any problems with the organization until the
22:06
organization got too cute. And he had his best buddy there
22:09
too, correct? And they threw him out, too.
22:12
And it just seems like they have a reputation of an ego that the
22:16
ownership is getting too much in the way with Mark Davis and now
22:19
with Tom Brady there, too. And you wonder how much
22:21
influence that might have. You would think Tom Brady a
22:23
player. But isn't that the way the when
22:25
it comes to professional sports and with organizations,
22:28
especially personalities like Davis, we've seen it many, many
22:31
times. Look at the Knicks, James Dolan,
22:34
We have seen this different personalities and different
22:37
ownerships. If they feel that bigger than
22:39
the team and they're they're more important than the team,
22:42
they're going to be outspoken and they're going to step in
22:44
and, and, and want to be in front of the televisions for in
22:46
front of the cameras. And I think that's the problem
22:48
right now in Vegas. Davis doesn't know how to keep
22:51
himself away from the cameras, just like his dad.
22:53
This has been a big problem for the Raiders.
22:56
They got the money to move to Vegas.
22:57
It wasn't from his pocket. He didn't have the money.
23:00
What did he do? He sold.
23:02
That's what he did. He sold his Oakland Raiders to
23:06
Vegas to get the stadium that he wanted.
23:09
That's what he did. He's a sellout.
23:11
And that's to me what we've seen for many, many years in many,
23:15
many optional situations. We have seen the with different
23:19
ownerships because his father was doing the things that he was
23:22
doing and now what he is doing, it's been an absolute joke.
23:25
This was one of the best franchises in the NFL in the
23:28
70s. They have fallen off.
23:29
They've went from one of the best franchise franchises and
23:32
one of the best working franchises to one of the worst
23:36
franchises in the NF. Li think there was a point even
23:39
to in NFL history where the I think the Raiders had the third
23:41
or fourth most Hall of Famers total.
23:43
Like that's how good of a history that they have.
23:45
And now all of a sudden they're doing the opposite things that
23:47
you talk about with Vegas with the with the Golden Knights and
23:49
even now Vegas with the A's too, going over there in a couple of
23:52
years, like the Vegas Golden Knights have been one of the
23:54
most stable organizations since they've come into the NHL.
23:57
And the the A's look at the A's last.
23:58
Obviously they actually spent the top ten amount of money and
24:00
yet the Raiders who have these freak athletes, Max Crosby,
24:04
Brock Bowers, and now Ashton Ginty, they drafted 2.
24:06
Like these guys are not going to want to stay there If they have
24:09
these, they're being mistreated the same way.
24:11
And it seems like they're still stuck in kind of an old school
24:13
way. They have AGM.
24:14
That was a hand me down for the Patriots.
24:15
They fired their GM after they hired Pete Carroll.
24:17
Pete Carroll, 76 years old. And the Raiders fans also on
24:21
Reddit, which you posted, when you posted the Mendoza story,
24:24
they were all saying they want Pete Carroll fired already, and
24:27
that's not a good look. The Raiders had the most coaches
24:29
coaching changes in the 21st century, too.
24:31
What does that say about your ownership?
24:33
Yeah, maybe you have a problem there.
24:35
It's been a problem since the 70s, Errol, they thought they, I
24:39
mean, I can't wait for the movie with Nicolas Cage, Christian
24:43
Bale to come out about John Madden and that those Raiders
24:46
teams when, you know, it became like kind of part of the fabric
24:49
of America going against the Cowboys in the 70s, those
24:53
matchups, the Steelers, you know, in the AFC, just these, it
24:57
is part of that, that culture that made the NFL what it was.
25:01
And it's so shameful that it's turned into what it is now.
25:05
They had that run with Gruden right?
25:08
They got to they. Gruden gets traded right to
25:11
Tampa Bay. Gruden then beats the Raiders
25:14
and they've been basically garbage since.
25:17
They've been garbage for about 25 years.
25:20
There's only been a couple of times where they've even been
25:23
halfway decent with Derek Carr along the way before he got
25:27
hurt. He had that broken leg that one
25:29
year they were talking about him as an MVP candidate.
25:31
They were the second best team in the NFL.
25:33
They were really good and that was it.
25:35
And that really was it. And I don't see what the hell
25:39
they're going to do in this draft because you're right,
25:42
Errol, they can't block for Ashton Genti.
25:44
Ashton Genti is getting hit before the he gets the ball.
25:47
Basically it's it's what it that happened speedy to Saquan on the
25:51
Giants. He would get a guy in the
25:54
backfield and before the holes or he can even see the holes, he
25:58
has to Juke somebody. That's how bad it is for Gente.
26:01
And I think at this point, Gente's, you know, he's just
26:03
seen too much. They're not blocking.
26:05
It just looks like he's running into piles at this point.
26:08
It sucks to watch him play because you saw how great he was
26:11
the year before at Boise, right? So what do you do if you're the
26:14
Raiders you and you can't take a pocket quarterback if you can't
26:18
block well, who can make a pocket?
26:20
That's only going to be right now sitting at #3 that New York
26:24
Jets team that I think really would like Mr. Mendoza to be
26:28
their quarterback, Errol. And if they're sitting at 3 and
26:31
the Raiders at one, they know the Giants don't need a
26:33
quarterback at 2. The Raiders can get the next
26:36
quarterback, whether it's Simpson or Moore or if somebody
26:39
has like the free combine type of a deal this.
26:43
Year. That would be a Raiders move.
26:45
It would be a Raiders move, but to me, I think Mendoza's a jet
26:50
because the Raiders are going to have the first pick.
26:53
I think it's going to line up for them and I do think it's
26:57
going to work out that way because they have the
26:59
infrastructure, that offensive line to be there with Mendoza.
27:03
So that's what it looks like. It's going to happen to me at
27:06
least. I really would like to see The
27:09
Jets get him. I think Errol, if they do that,
27:11
it would be a miracle. The rest of the options, the
27:14
Giants, the Giants, everyone knew, everyone should have put
27:17
all their life savings on the Giants win in that game, because
27:20
the Giants always win that game. It's the culture game has.
27:24
The first pick and they just always do it every year.
27:26
It's a time tested tradition in New York for us to blow the
27:30
chance of the first overall pick.
27:31
It's whatever I I don't really they're.
27:33
Sitting at 2, they could still trade out of that number two
27:36
pick. It's fine as long as they don't
27:37
take a running back at 2. God knows what happened last
27:40
time they did that. And then you have the Titans,
27:44
who need a coach, but they don't need a quarterback.
27:46
And the Cardinals? Gannon thinks he's coming back.
27:50
I would beg to differ. They're the wild card for a
27:52
quarterback, too, if they could figure out Murray.
27:55
Well, I mean, I don't really know what's going on for that.
27:58
So you know it's. It's.
27:59
Going to be tough but if they can get rid of like even haven't
28:03
paid most of that contract. It's kind of like the giants at
28:05
the end of that Daniel Jones and removed.
28:06
They could have traded in with the most of the guaranteed money
28:08
coming off if the problem is just nobody wants Kyla Murray at
28:11
this point. I will tell you this.
28:12
If Gannon gets fired, he's going to go to Miami.
28:15
And I do believe if Mike McDaniel is there, he is.
28:18
Gannon and him are going to work together because I know they're
28:21
very close and it makes a lot of sense.
28:24
As good as Miami's defense has been over the last couple of
28:27
weeks, Gannon would absolutely to me change that defense, make
28:32
that defense an elite defense because you saw what he did with
28:34
the Eagles and I, I think he's a perfect fit over there.
28:37
But again, only time will only time will fall into place where
28:43
where we think everything could happen.
28:44
But I will say this, if you're a Giant fan, you can't be upset at
28:48
the Giants winning that game. If you're a Raiders fan, good
28:51
luck. Because whoever they choose to
28:53
be their quarterback, he's probably going to fail because
28:56
they have got nothing, no protection, nothing there.
28:58
And I'm going to tell you this right now, Ashton Jetty is going
29:01
to ask for his his papers very soon, just like Jacobs did.
29:05
Jacobs did not want to be there. He had no interest to staying
29:08
there with that organization, the way the organization was
29:10
treating him. And they they went after Jacobs
29:13
in that draft in the first round.
29:14
And we saw he he played for Alabama.
29:16
He was an elite player. He was one of the best running
29:18
backs I've seen come out of Alabama in a long, long time.
29:21
And we seen what he's done with the Green Bay Packers.
29:23
When he stays healthy, he is as an elite as any running back in
29:27
the league. So and Aston Genti, I had him on
29:30
two of my fantasy teams. He did some things, but he
29:34
didn't do enough. And when you're drafting him as
29:36
high as a lot of people were drafting him, you would expect
29:40
him to put up numbers like a Bijon Robertson.
29:43
And I thought he was Bijon Robertson esque.
29:46
And because Elena has a much better offensive line than the
29:50
Raiders do. I mean, the Raiders offensive
29:52
line could be one of the worst offensive line.
29:54
It's coming into the I've ever seen.
29:56
Coming into the year, it really wasn't supposed to be that bad.
29:58
Either it's not bad. Miller They were all awful.
30:01
And they are awful, man. Absolutely.
30:03
Offensive line coach makes a big difference and I've always had
30:07
this theory in speedy. I think you could see it in
30:09
Washington this year. If you have a good offensive
30:12
line coach, you know the first year that coach is gone.
30:15
They still remember the lessons of the line coach that was there
30:19
that taught them how to be good. Their line coach was Carmen
30:22
Brasilo who is went over to the Giants who is by far the best
30:26
position coach on the Giants, has turned that offensive line
30:30
into a functional unit. It's the only thing good about
30:32
the Giants this year or other than scatibow for a handful of
30:36
weeks, right? So what what do we see happen
30:39
over there now? It's a year out.
30:40
They can't, they have no one that's coaching these guys up to
30:44
be good. Look what happened in
30:45
Washington. Bobby Johnson, the immortal
30:47
Giants line coach who couldn't get I mean Evan Neal looked like
30:51
he was cross eyed and his shoes tied together on every single
30:54
play he was out. Evan Neal had a thumb in his
30:56
ass, practically. But Washington was good on the
31:00
line last year with Jaden Daniels because Bobby Johnson
31:03
just got there and hadn't ruined them yet.
31:05
Now this year, look how bad that Washington offensive line is.
31:09
Look what happened to Jaden Daniels.
31:11
Look what happened to the rest of them.
31:13
Speaking of the devil, Speaking of the devil, Jabba Chamberlain
31:16
is back in the frame. What's up, Jabba?
31:20
What's up, Bells? Well, we see you.
31:23
I know you're getting ready because we're going to get into
31:26
the CFB playoff run a second round preview.
31:29
Are you ready for it? You know what, I'm always ready
31:33
now. Now you know, I got we got our
31:36
first L of the year put on us so that that wasn't fun, But you
31:40
know, it's always it's always fun to sit there and watch a
31:43
game with your son. And you know, when you you've
31:45
watched somebody grow up and get to see them chase their dreams
31:48
and and play basketball, It's it's funny, you never want to
31:51
see them lose, but that's the way it goes.
31:53
But hey, we're going to have to talk about losing in this
31:56
playoff, right? It's been a great year.
31:59
It's been a full year with Jabba Chamberlain.
32:01
It's been a full year with Fish. It's been a full year with all
32:04
you guys. It's been a great one.
32:08
The fact of where we are and where we're going to be next
32:10
year could be special. I, I couldn't have done it
32:14
without any of you guys. I again, specifically the work
32:19
that gets put on on put in on the back end is, is amazing and
32:25
I appreciate everybody's hard work and dedication.
32:27
I, I have a lot of love for everybody.
32:29
All the fans out there listening to us and TuneIn and download
32:33
and look out for the craziness that could come about this show.
32:38
We appreciate you guys. And I guess I'm going to speak
32:41
for, I guess unless Java wants to speak to for for the fans.
32:46
I I appreciate everybody that puts the work into this show.
32:50
So yeah, I mean, I don't I don't know if words can express you
32:55
guys have literally I thought I was a sports fan.
32:59
I wasn't and you guys have opened my eyes to so many things
33:03
and where I pay attention to so many things different cuz I
33:07
don't want to sound like a Jackass.
33:09
And you guys have just like opened me up where I look at
33:13
sports so differently and it's made me look at life differently
33:18
and, you know, just embodying what sports can do for all of us
33:25
and not only opening us up to different perspectives and
33:30
different thoughts and views, but opening us up as people.
33:34
And you think that's the greatest thing about sports.
33:36
And I think that's the greatest thing about this show cuz you
33:38
don't ever know what you're gonna get.
33:40
And it's been awesome. It's been frustrating at times.
33:44
It definitely has. I love you guys, but it has been
33:48
and you know, we crawl before we walk and it's just been it.
33:53
It's going to be a fun journey. And I know it's frustrating
33:57
sometimes for for all of us in different ways, but I'm so
34:03
grateful to have these moments and, and where I can, I can
34:08
share my thoughts and I can be me.
34:10
And then, and you guys don't judge me and our fans don't
34:15
because I love them because they're the reason why we do
34:19
this. We love sports, but we love
34:21
giving a different perspective and maybe a different thought or
34:24
a different view. So man, I hope it's been a fun
34:29
year. I think we've learned a lot from
34:31
each other and I, I truly, genuinely appreciate that.
34:35
And it's been a tough year for everybody.
34:37
Like, I mean, that's, that's life though.
34:39
But what we look forward to is, is the things that lie ahead and
34:44
just very fortunate to be in this opportunity and and do
34:49
these things with you guys. So I appreciate first and
34:52
foremost because I know time is precious and I appreciate your
34:56
guys's time. And more importantly, I
34:58
appreciate you use the effort and the fact that you care about
35:02
what we're doing. And just thank you guys so much.
35:05
I mean, there's there's not much more I can say.
35:07
I want to before I let everybody go and I want to thank everybody
35:12
on Apple and Spotify that TuneIn and download and write all these
35:18
crazy things on all the Reddit fans that say the the most
35:25
derogatory funny things I've ever seen in my entire life.
35:28
And on Instagram and TikTok and Facebook and all the fans, Jabba
35:34
in the mouth fans in worldwide sports radio network fans out
35:38
there and all the guys that do their shows, you know, from, you
35:41
know, Josh Silverberg and his father and Eric and and then
35:45
snowman. Thank you to them for really
35:48
putting out a good product. And and like I said, next year
35:53
is a week away or less than a week away, actually a couple
35:56
days away. And I'm going to say one thing
35:59
to all the fans and all the people out there and all the
36:02
podcasts out there, watch out. That's all I'm going to say.
36:07
You can take it whatever way you want.
36:09
Watch the F out. That's it anyway.
36:14
I'm just going to give you 2 lines, Errol, that no one has
36:16
got a more original show than what we do here.
36:20
Everyone's got sports takes, but no one has the creativity.
36:23
People are stealing segments from us that we see on the big
36:26
shows. 100% that I know that I came up with with you on the
36:30
phone, Errol. You know, so I'm real proud of
36:34
kind of being a trendsetter as well in an industry that seems
36:38
to be a lot of the same. Lost, Absolutely lost.
36:42
You're absolutely right. Fish lost.
36:44
And that's what you're seeing right now with WFAN and they're
36:49
firing people and letting people go and Trinity Sports is gone
36:52
and everything is flopping around and they're trying to
36:55
figure out what to do next. Here's what you do.
36:58
Watch out and look at the the talent that's out there and
37:02
realize that there is talent right in front of your faces.
37:05
Open up your checkbooks and get ready because you're going to be
37:08
paying. That's all I'm going to say.
37:10
You're going to be paying because you had, you had this
37:14
sitting for such a long time and you're going to be paying.
37:17
That's all I'm going to say. That's it.
37:19
I, I had to add that because I'm just disgusted with the garbage
37:23
that I've seen on television and radio over the last couple of
37:26
years and it makes me sick to my stomach.
37:29
Anyways, I'm going to let you guys say your final goodbyes for
37:33
the new year. Tommy, you first.
37:36
Yeah, you guys pretty much said a lot of it.
37:37
You know, we've been putting a lot of work and especially
37:40
thanks to you guys, you know, I don't think any of us can do
37:43
ones job without the other. So I really do appreciate, you
37:46
know, all the hard work that you guys put into the show.
37:48
You know, I really appreciate you guys, you know, being
37:50
welcomed in every to every. Week.
37:51
It's fish and speedy, just so you know.
37:53
Of course, yeah, Fish and Speedy, you know you guys are
37:55
awesome. Jabba and Arrow, you know, you
37:57
guys being the on air talents, of course, you know, you guys
37:59
doing what you guys do, you know it's all appreciative.
38:02
Of course, even Nathan. Shout out to the man Nathan
38:05
here, the PR manager, the man himself.
38:09
But you, it's been a whole hell of a 365 days and looking
38:14
forward to another 365 with y'all.
38:17
Yeah, it's I've definitely been appreciative of all you guys are
38:20
bringing me in eight years ago and seeing all different people
38:23
come and go with this network too, but always supporting me
38:25
and always helping me out with everything on the on the show
38:29
and throughout the network as well.
38:31
And all the guys that have been coming and going on this show as
38:33
well. Fish, you brought a new new vibe
38:36
since you joined the show back in January of 2024 and you've
38:39
done a lot of great things. Tommy, you've been always a
38:43
social media guy, fun guy to talk with offset a lot of the
38:45
time even before Java you came along and Jabba reaching out to
38:48
you for the first time as a guest.
38:49
I reached out to a lot of different Yankees and first time
38:51
you ever had you in the show, you were a tremendous
38:53
storyteller and and reached out at the time with the Yankees
38:57
playoffs and obviously we built something very nice and Nathan
39:00
as well and Nick Goody Nathan. Nick Goody.
39:03
That. Shout out to Goody.
39:04
Yeah, Goody, Goody. The first time we had him on the
39:07
show, it was funny. It was actually the first week
39:09
we had Sylvester Williams on the show last year too.
39:11
It was also the same week we had Goody on the same day and and
39:14
Goody Goody. I remember Goody because he came
39:16
in 10 minutes early. I never saw a guest come in that
39:18
early ever. And he was so fired up.
39:20
He was so funny and always brought that good vibes.
39:22
And of course, Nathan is our PR guy doing some great things.
39:25
All this event planning, all that stuff.
39:26
Fantastic. And shout out to all the fans,
39:28
all the ones I've met in person, all the ones that have it in
39:30
person for supporting what we do.
39:31
Here, I don't want to say something else before I go to
39:33
Jaba Chamberlain. I didn't think this was going to
39:36
work. I didn't all right, I did.
39:39
I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't think it was going to
39:41
work, but it's been a fun ride and it's going to be a fun ride
39:45
in 2026 because I I feel like we've built a good, good vibe
39:51
and a good relationship. We have our differences at
39:54
everything that we do, but that's what partners usually do.
39:57
But I, I've grown to understand who you are as a person, not
40:02
just as an athlete that I followed as a kid and or like to
40:06
watch you throw a ball. I, I, I like throwing pitches at
40:09
you and I'm sure you like to throw jabs at me, but I, I feel
40:13
like we've built something and we're, we're building something
40:17
that could be something really, really special.
40:19
And I think fans, and I say this with with love and compassion,
40:25
if. If it wasn't for the people that
40:27
understand what we're trying to do here, we wouldn't be here.
40:30
So thank you to all of you guys. Anyways, That's it.
40:34
Good night. Thank all of you.
40:36
Appreciate it. Well, 2026, here we come.
