2:42

2:46

2:50
No humidity really. It's been a nice breeze.
2:53
The sun's been out. The clouds are out.
2:55
It's about 80° today. This is where Long Island really
3:00
flexes its muscles when it's a kind of day like this.
3:04
I love it. It has been a very spiritual day
3:07
and whatever that means. If if you're a churchgoer and
3:10
you're a person that wants to go to, you know, one of those
3:14
church days and enjoy the, the reign of, you know, God and, and
3:19
the priest and reverends and all that other stuff.
3:22
This is the perfect day, ladies and gentlemen, to go to church
3:25
and enjoy the whoa, the, the lovely.
3:29
Well, I was about to say weather, but it, it's weather.
3:32
Anyways, I, I, I want to get off the weather situation.
3:35
Speedy, what is up, man? Yeah, I'm doing well.
3:37
Back of the producers here for the first time in a in a while.
3:40
Shout out to Tommy. Hope he's feeling better too.
3:42
I also want to give a shout out. Rest in peace to Ozzy Osbourne,
3:44
one of the greatest rockers ever, passing away yesterday
3:47
after his farewell tour with Black Sabbath as well.
3:50
A big surprise. And if anybody has ever seen the
3:53
Cosby shows, the Sun, I forget his name, who already played
3:57
Malcolm Jamal Warner. Malcolm.
3:58
Yes, he, he passed away too. He drowned at the age I, if I'm
4:02
not mistaken, 54 years old, 53 years old.
4:04
He was very, very young. And my mom always told me and my
4:08
father used to always tell me that it's usually in threes.
4:11
When somebody dies, they usually go in threes.
4:14
And yesterday Ozzy Osbourne went, you know, went at what, 76
4:20
years old, 76 years old, one of the greatest rock singers of all
4:23
time. A lot of people believe Ozzy
4:25
Osbourne was at his best when he left Black Sabbath, where he was
4:29
just Ozzy Osbourne. And I used to watch the Osbourne
4:33
show was the three seasons were very, very interesting.
4:36
They are a very interesting family.
4:38
So my heart goes out to the Osborne family and and the death
4:42
of one of the greatest singers, one of the greatest rockers, one
4:45
of the greatest personalities when it came to music and Ozzy
4:48
Osbourne. So that's a horrible story.
4:51
Jabba, what's up, man? Not just you guys got great
4:54
weather today. We got felt like 106.
4:56
It was, it was a tough one today for us, but and we got all the
5:00
humidity and all the good stuff. So you guys took all the good
5:03
stuff from us today, but other than that, got a good workout
5:06
in, got some stuff, watching some baseball.
5:09
Yankees are up 1, nothing. Dominguez went deep, so off to a
5:12
good start. Well, hopefully the Yankees
5:14
start to pull away in that, a division that the Blue Jays have
5:18
really been dominating over the last five weeks.
5:21
The Yankees got to get those bats waking up and they got to
5:24
decide what they're going to do with Anthony Volpe.
5:26
We will get into that a little bit later.
5:27
And sure, I'm sure Jabba has his own thoughts.
5:29
Actually, me and Jabba were speaking about it on the phone
5:32
today about where the Yankees or what the Yankees should be doing
5:35
at the trade deadline. And Anthony Volpe, Where did the
5:37
Yankees go with Anthony Volpe? Do they decide to move them down
5:41
or send them down? But what who are they bringing
5:43
up to play the shortstop position?
5:45
You know when somebody loses confidence like Anthony when
5:48
he's going down to his knees and trying to block, block a shot or
5:52
like a line drive to put his body in front of it, to throw it
5:55
to 1st, that scares you if you're a shortstop fan,
5:59
especially Anthony Volpe fan and it just the confidence level.
6:02
Everybody wants to blame Aaron Boone, it's Aaron Boone's fault,
6:05
but Aaron Boone is not playing Anthony Volpe's position.
6:09
Aaron Boone was 1/3 baseman when he played for the Yankees and
6:12
when he came from Cincinnati. So, and I believe third bases is
6:16
a hard defensive position. He's pretty damn good at it.
6:19
I'm not going to tell you that Aaron Boone is one of the best
6:23
defensive minded managers in baseball because that would be a
6:26
lie. But Aaron Boone can only help
6:30
the kid develop. You can't teach the kid to
6:32
develop. He's got to figure that out
6:33
himself. So unfortunately, Anthony Volpe
6:36
has not figured that out and the Yankees are going to probably
6:40
start to look deeper into their farm system in the next two
6:43
years. They do have a young shortstop
6:45
that day. They I think signed.
6:47
They got him from the Dominican Republic when he was 16 years
6:51
old. He's now I, if I'm not mistaken,
6:54
18, going to be 19. He's still pretty young.
6:57
They do believe he's A5 to a player.
6:58
We'll see where that kid, you know, as as the the next two
7:02
years come along, what what type of player he's going to be when
7:06
he gets called up from the New York Yankees.
7:08
Anthony Volpe was the guy that I really thought was going to be a
7:10
star in this league. But once you lose confidence,
7:12
Clint Frazier is the the guy that really sticks out to me
7:16
over the years. Clint Frazier was a 5 to 5 to a
7:18
player when the Yankees traded for him, if I'm not mistaken.
7:21
Was Cleveland right? Yeah, it was.
7:22
It was the Andrew Miller trade with the Indians at that time.
7:26
And he came to the Yankees and besides the the problems he had
7:30
with his cats, if you remember that he never really developed
7:34
with the New York Yankees, Then eventually the Yankees traded
7:37
him or let him go. He went to the Sox if I'm not
7:39
mistaken, and his. Bumped around a bunch of teams.
7:42
Yeah, his career completely felt flat in his face.
7:45
I don't want that to happen to Anthony Volpe, but I'm hoping
7:48
that he figures it out. But the Yankees got to figure
7:49
out what they're going to do. At 9:45, we'll be talking to
7:52
1111 year MLP catcher Jimmy Lawrence will be joining us.
7:56
He's been on a show before. If you don't remember him, I
7:59
remember him very, very, very much when he played in 95 with
8:04
the Yankees, in 96 with the Yankees.
8:05
But 95, those home runs against Seattle, those stuck out to me
8:09
the most with Jimmy. And Jimmy is a great
8:11
personality. Last time he was on the show, he
8:14
was in, if I'm not mistaken, he was at Yankee Stadium at a
8:17
playoff game in the, in the press area so or wherever he
8:22
was. But Jimmy is a great guy, very
8:26
good friend of the show and and a great personality.
8:28
So I'm interested to hear what he's got to say with the Yankees
8:31
and what he thinks the Yankees need to do moving forward.
8:33
But a lot to get into. Maryland football coach Mike
8:37
Locksley told ESPN that he blames the NIL for the reason
8:42
his football team lost the locker room the last year.
8:45
Lock Locksley said he still took accountability as a head coach,
8:51
but says the discussions over which players should be given an
8:56
NIL deal or money each week was a problem.
9:00
He added that it was a difficult dilemma to reward the younger
9:04
players with higher upside or the older players that have been
9:10
committed to Maryland football and their program.
9:13
Locksley now added added a sign in Maryland locker room telling
9:19
players to leave their financial statements and car keys outside
9:24
of the locker room to focus on football.
9:27
He says that the players since the new court ruling in July on
9:32
July 1st have been much more focused on football right now
9:37
rather than how much they're getting paid with their NIL
9:42
deals. Maryland was four and eight last
9:45
season after three straight winning seasons from 2021 to
9:50
2023, winning a ball game in all three seasons.
9:56
I don't know much about Locksley, OK, and and me and
9:59
fish were talking about him off, you know, on the phone today
10:03
offset of our show and this story.
10:07
Obviously we knew eventually the nil deals were going to get in a
10:12
way with players deciding where they're going to go to school or
10:17
how much money are these players going to be asking for if
10:20
they're a superstar player or one of the best recruits right
10:23
now in the country. And again, you just don't know
10:26
you you could be a four-star, five star recruit or you could
10:29
be a 3 1/2 star recruit. Ward wasn't even I don't even
10:32
think he was in any * recruit and look, he was the number one
10:36
pick in the NFL draft. So again, everybody's going to
10:40
star you because of what you did in high school.
10:42
But again, Locksley has a point and he doesn't have a point.
10:46
This is the same guy that me and Fish were talking about was a
10:49
part of the Alabama Crimson Tide when he was the offensive
10:52
coordinator over there with Nick Saban and his son passed away.
10:56
Now obviously was an accident as far well, I don't even know if
11:00
it was an accident because he got shot, but nevertheless, he's
11:04
a guy that eventually stepped down or lost his job and he got
11:08
the job over here with Maryland. And Maryland is a good
11:12
basketball program. They're not really known for
11:14
their football. We've had a couple of their
11:16
college football players on our show over the years and they're
11:21
they're a good, they're good sports program.
11:23
They're just not really known for their football.
11:26
But Locksley is a known coach in the NCAA and he's trying to find
11:32
ways to pay his players. And the NIL deals are going to
11:36
move forward no matter if they can.
11:40
They decide who they're going to pay and what players are going
11:42
to get paid over the next couple of years, or what player is
11:46
going to be recruited or who is going to get recruited and how
11:49
much money they're going to get through that recruitment.
11:52
Now, the NIL deals are also something that a lot of people
11:55
talk about. And then I don't realize that
11:57
for years, even though there was not NIL deals, there was money
12:00
being pushed under the table. So to think, even though NINIL
12:05
deals are here and they're here to stay, as far as we know right
12:09
now, there's no guarantees that some of these players aren't
12:12
getting paid under the table. And again, Locksley could sit
12:16
there and and make all the excuses in the world.
12:19
Who's going to get what and what should get what and who should
12:22
get this and who should get that?
12:24
The cheerleaders, are they going to get some of that NIL deal
12:27
because they're a world renowned top end Division One
12:30
cheerleading squad? No, the fact is they're going to
12:33
be handed a lot of money or they're going to be had a
12:35
certain amount of money and they got to decide who deserves what.
12:39
When you talk about 5 star recruits.
12:41
And, and again, I will get into my opinion here on what I think
12:45
how they should settle, how the NILNIL deal should be divided
12:49
out to any player from any one of their programs, from baseball
12:54
to hockey to basketball to football.
12:57
You have to look at it and in a big understanding of what you do
13:01
in high school. High school players.
13:04
You work your ass off playing high school ball.
13:07
Baseball, hockey, football, whatever you play in high
13:11
school, you try to be the best player you could possibly be.
13:14
Why? Because you get graded.
13:17
When you come out of high school in football you get graded.
13:21
Either a three star recruit, A2 star recruit, A4 star recruit,
13:24
or a five star recruit, 5 star being the highest.
13:28
If you're a five star recruit with NILDOS you should be
13:33
getting the most money because if you're a five star recruit
13:36
you're one of the best players in the country going into
13:38
college. Now that doesn't mean you stay a
13:40
five star recruit. I do believe if you're a five
13:43
star recruit your first year you should get 5 star recruit and
13:48
I'll deal money after that depending on how you play.
13:53
That is where the team decides on how much you make.
13:56
Furthermore, after your first season as a five star recruit,
14:00
because after your first season you could be considered a three
14:04
star recruit even though you're not, the fact is these NIL deals
14:09
are going to get into the way of how these players decide what,
14:13
where these these players decide where they want to go in the
14:16
future. You want to go if you're playing
14:18
football, you want to play for Alabama, you want to play for
14:21
Georgia, you want to play for USC, you want to play for the
14:24
you want to play for the top recruiting programs in the
14:27
country. Usually in college football,
14:29
it's the SEC. In college basketball now you
14:34
have obviously the East, which has been very, very good with
14:38
UConn and Villanova and some of the best teams we've seen being
14:42
put together over the last 10 years in college basketball.
14:45
And now you have Patino with St. John's over there.
14:49
So you have all these top and head coaches, Calipari
14:52
obviously, or what he's doing right now.
14:54
And then you have baseball and baseball, obviously we all know
14:59
who the best baseball team over the last 10 years has been, and
15:03
that's the LSU Tiger. So the SEC is very big when it
15:07
comes to baseball as well. So you look at that and that's
15:12
where if you're a top recruit and we had Preston, we went to
15:15
his and I was, I was hosting his event.
15:18
Preston was a 4 1/2 star recruit, so he had Georgia,
15:23
Rutgers. Who's the other team species?
15:25
Florida and Auburn. Florida and Auburn, those were
15:27
the four teams. All four teams were Division One
15:30
schools, All four of them. And you look at the big picture
15:34
here, it was probably Georgia or Florida is where you would if
15:39
you were any one of these other recruited guys sitting there.
15:42
And looking at all four of those teams, you're probably going
15:45
with either Florida because they've been such a great
15:48
recruiting program in college football, or ladies and
15:51
gentlemen, you're probably going to Georgia Bulldogs because they
15:55
won back-to-back championships, the last one in 2022.
15:58
They have one of the best recruiting classes that are
16:01
going to be put together in the next two years.
16:04
So I have top three. So you know, and they have one
16:06
of the best coaches right now in college football.
16:09
So we we look at NIL deals. You have to look at where
16:13
they're ranked, how their rank coming out of school.
16:17
That is where I believe he divide out the money.
16:20
Now, it's going to be very, very hard.
16:22
If you're a player that's been playing for that college
16:25
football team, you didn't decide to portal in to play for another
16:28
team. That's why you have a portal.
16:30
If you know a player's being brought in and he's going to be
16:33
offered this amount of money for NIL, then you go into the portal
16:37
and you go somewhere that's going to pay you some other team
16:39
or some some other program that's going to pay you more.
16:42
There are so many ways now when it comes to college sports where
16:47
you're the player is really in the driver's seat.
16:49
It used to never be that way. It never was really that way
16:54
When you decided to go to a certain school you know that
16:58
you're going to be on, you're going to be playing for that
17:00
school for the three or four years you're going to be there.
17:03
The only time you could decide to portal out of there in which
17:06
they did, they gave you a chance, you would have to miss
17:10
one year of eligibility. So that's the problem with
17:13
college sports. Now you can't, you don't have to
17:16
worry about that. There's a portal and every
17:18
single year, actually, I think it's like you got two times.
17:21
Yeah, the second time you transfer then you have to wait
17:23
a. Year right, So you get two
17:25
chances if you want to portal to another school and that opens up
17:30
so many possibilities for these players to decide.
17:33
Hey, you know what I could go here I can I'm playing for
17:36
Georgia right now. I'm one of the best defensive
17:38
players on this team right now and they're bringing in two or
17:40
three five star recruits. They're going to be taking my
17:43
spot at least another year. I want to play two more years of
17:45
college football. I'll go to Florida, I'll be a
17:47
starter and they're going to give me more money for my
17:50
talent. That's the facts and I and I
17:52
think that's the way the nil deal is going to work until
17:57
obviously the NCAA figures out how it makes sense.
18:00
Now, like I said, when you're getting recruited, I think first
18:04
you should be looking at where they're ranked in the country.
18:08
If you're a five star recruit, right off the bat, you should be
18:10
making a certain amount of money there shouldn't that should
18:14
definitely show these players in and tell these players, hey, you
18:17
know what, you want to be a high recruit, you want to have, you
18:20
want to get a lot of money as an NLNIL player.
18:24
Well, guess what? You got to be a four, four or
18:26
five star recruit to get that money.
18:29
That's the only way you're going to make that money in your first
18:30
year. And if you don't do that well,
18:33
you're not going to make that much money because the other
18:35
players that were playing for the team for two or three years
18:38
and they're decided to stay there are going to because they
18:41
were such high recruits and they're still great players.
18:44
They're going to make that money too.
18:45
And you know, and Jabba and speedy, you know what still is
18:49
the most important position even in college football?
18:52
That's the quarterback. So you know, if that quarterback
18:55
is a top recruit, A4 star recruit and he even if he he
18:59
wasn't, if he's a great player, like we just said, Ward, the guy
19:02
wasn't. I don't even think that when he
19:05
was recruited he had any stars. I don't even.
19:07
Think he was at. A.
19:09
Yeah, he was at a HBCU, I think it was.
19:12
It was somewhere out West. I think it was in Texas too,
19:15
before he transferred to Washington State.
19:16
I forgot the name of the school but he was at one of those HBCU
19:20
schools or one of those like second tier Division One schools
19:23
and I don't think he was even recruited.
19:25
He was a zero star recruit as coach Mr. Fish says over here on
19:29
the, you know, fan private chat. I, I will say this, the nil
19:34
deals are going to be a problem. It's everybody says it.
19:38
Look at Deion Sanders. He was cheating right off the
19:40
bat when he went to Colorado. He's going to Saudi Arabia and
19:44
trying to seek millions and millions of dollars from these
19:47
Princess. How many people know that Saudi
19:50
Arabia's Arabia is one of the biggest and most expensive
19:54
countries and big profit countries in the world?
19:57
Why? Because of their oil.
19:59
That is why, ladies and gentlemen, so that you know
20:02
Deion Sanders, Prime isn't stupid.
20:04
So you know what Prime did? He went to the one place he
20:07
thought nobody was going to discover where he was going to
20:10
take money to the States and pay his players off.
20:13
So Deion Sanders deserves my golf clap if we had one.
20:18
Nevertheless, you look at the big picture here.
20:21
I just look at the Maryland situation locks.
20:24
He's going to say whatever he wants.
20:25
Loxy's going to play complain like every other coach.
20:28
Nick Saban decided to step down after, what, two years ago
20:32
because he said, you know what, I don't want to deal with the
20:34
NIL deals. Dabo Sweeney has been bitching
20:37
and moaning about these NIL deals.
20:39
But guess what? These college coaches are making
20:41
millions and millions of dollars and making it off the recruiting
20:45
classes they bring in and try to win national championships.
20:48
So I'm not going to cry the river for any one of those guys
20:51
like Dabo Sweeney, who's making 10 million, or even Nick Saban
20:55
at one point that was making 13 million.
20:57
James Franklin, I think. How about?
20:58
Bill Belichick, what's that guy making right now?
21:01
I mean, seriously? And he's not even running that
21:03
team. His girlfriend is.
21:04
His fiance is running that North Carolina team as she's flashing
21:09
and dancing and making decisions for Bill Belichick that Bill
21:12
Belichick knew knew nothing about it.
21:14
So it just shows you the way college sports is moving.
21:18
That's why Bill Belichick went to North Carolina.
21:21
Don't get it twisted. It had nothing to do with his
21:23
father because was his father coached there and had nothing to
21:26
do with, hey, you know what, I'm going to run this organization
21:29
to the and I'm going to win national championships.
21:31
No, it's the money thing. He knows that the way he can
21:35
recruit players is going and jumping from one hand to another
21:40
and finding ways to get money to get the best recruiting,
21:44
recruiting players in the country to come and play for
21:47
him. And that's why he built and he
21:48
doesn't have to deal with those pro players bitching and moaning
21:52
and and game playing from one team to another.
21:54
He doesn't really have to do that.
21:56
You know what he has to do? All he's got to do is raise men.
21:59
He is so used to doing that as he was raining, raising a lot of
22:03
stupid asses over there in New England and still winning
22:06
championships. So there's no lie about that.
22:09
I just think, and again Fish and me went back and forth on this,
22:13
the Nil deal really has brought open opportunity for these
22:18
players to not only bring a generational money home to.
22:22
Their in good in good and bad ways.
22:24
Yes, yes, generational money that'll help their families in
22:28
the long run, but it also brings problems when it comes like
22:32
Jabba was saying, it brings problems on how do you decide or
22:36
where do you decide the money will go and what program is.
22:41
Especially when you go into a college like let's say LSU, they
22:43
got a good baseball team, they got a good football team and
22:46
they have a decent basketball team.
22:47
Where does that money go if you have all these big recruiting
22:51
classes every single year with great programs?
22:54
Where does that money go where you can distinctly understand
22:58
how it would work throughout every single season?
23:02
Locksley has a point there. But Locksley shouldn't be
23:04
bitching because this is a good problem to have.
23:07
This is not a bad problem to have Speedy.
23:10
No, it's not. It's not a bad problem.
23:11
And also I think the approach that Locksley is saying it has
23:14
to be something that a lot of these kind of second tier Power
23:17
5 schools are going to take on like you're doing with Maryland.
23:19
Like you said, Maryland's not really known as a football
23:21
school. They're not.
23:22
They're a basketball, basketball school.
23:23
They're a good lacrosse school. They're pretty.
23:25
They're up and down with hockey, I think, but mainly basketball
23:28
like you were saying, especially when they were in the ACC
23:30
football. They had a, they've had a few
23:31
good years recently, but again, they've never been known Again,
23:34
it's a tough conference they're in, in the Big 10 E, they're
23:36
playing with Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State, but
23:38
still never really known for their football.
23:40
And that's why I think you have to establish yourself when it
23:42
comes to the recruiting aspect to get those five star recruits
23:45
to want to come to a school like Maryland and make them pick
23:48
Maryland over those Big 10 schools, over those other
23:51
schools in that region, that ACC schools that could have a better
23:54
football reputation. And that's why I think him
23:57
having the dilemma of doing that last season when they were
23:59
struggling did not make a lot of sense.
24:01
I think you want to establish that for the five star players
24:04
to not only do that, but also want to stay there.
24:07
If there is going to be a turn around, get a bowl, bowl season,
24:10
a six or seven win season. If there's going to be a turn
24:12
around in that program, it's going to have to come with those
24:14
five star recruits staying there and developing there.
24:17
And like you're saying too, it's hard in football, especially
24:19
when those rosters are triple the size of NFL rosters.
24:23
It's over 100 on a college roster because a lot of them are
24:25
red shirted. A lot of them are like
24:27
transferred over and they can't play right away.
24:29
And there's a lot of duplicate numbers I you look at the
24:31
roster. So it's like almost double the
24:33
size of an NFL roster. And depending on the type of
24:36
program that you are, that means you're looking at more.
24:38
Not all, not all of them are going to get.
24:40
NI Well, if you're on the practice squad, you're if you're
24:42
not a top recruit, so. Yeah, I would imagine not all of
24:45
them are not even like maybe half of them are going to get.
24:47
Nil, If you're a 4 1/2 or 4 *5 star recruit, you're going to be
24:51
a starter or you're going to be right behind the starters, the
24:54
backups to be their backups. There's no way you're going to
24:57
be recruiting. You're going to say listen,
24:59
you're going to be red shirted the first year.
25:01
It used to be that way when I was deciding to go to Maine, New
25:04
Hampshire in Niagara, I was told and I was one of the best United
25:08
States. I was top, top 20 United States
25:10
hockey player. When I was 17 years old.
25:13
I decided to go to Niagara because I did not want to go to
25:17
Maine in New Hampshire and be red shirted my first year
25:20
because of some of the best play.
25:21
Remember these, the New Hampshire and Maine at the time
25:24
were two of the best college programs in the country.
25:27
So they have all the top recruits from the year before
25:31
and the year before playing college hockey.
25:33
Because in the NHL you want to play four years before you even
25:37
go to the NHL. No matter how high of a draft
25:39
pick you are, you're probably playing at least three to four
25:43
years before you decide, hey, I'm going to play juniors or
25:46
hey, I'm going to play AHL hockey.
25:48
So it's a different world, world with different sports like
25:52
Jabba, AAA, AA, Single A, and if you get drafted, more than
25:56
likely you're not playing college ball.
25:59
As we all know, Garrett Cole. Garrett Cole was drafted by the
26:03
New York Yankees and he decided, you know what, I'm going to play
26:06
college ball. I am going to rebut that and I'm
26:10
going to go and play for, if I'm not mistaken, UCL.
26:13
AUCLA. Yeah.
26:15
And then he then was a first round draft pick because the
26:18
Yankees drafted him in the in the mid 20s.
26:21
He goes back into the draft and he gets drafted by Pittsburgh
26:24
and he was the number one pick, if I'm not mistaken.
26:26
So we went from like in the 20s to all the way to the number
26:29
one. And Garrett Cole is one of the
26:32
best pitchers when healthy in all of baseball.
26:34
So we all know the type of talent that he is.
26:37
But at the time there were no NIL deals because if baseball
26:42
had NIL deals at that time, I could tell you this, Steven
26:46
Strasburg doesn't jump all the way to the major leagues as fast
26:49
as he did. Rice, Harper, all these guys
26:52
that went into the draft. How about this, do you think,
26:56
and there is a quarterback in Kyla Murray, If there were NIL
27:00
deals and he was as good of a baseball player like they say he
27:04
was, do you think he goes to football or decides, hey, you
27:08
know what, I could play 4 years of college for baseball and make
27:11
more money doing that and then go into the major leagues.
27:15
He was a top what, 10 first round draft.
27:17
Pick if I was a 6th pick by. The end?
27:19
Hold on, Harold Cole was drafted in the first round out of high
27:22
school. Yeah, I know.
27:24
That he decided not, No. You said 20th.
27:28
What? He was drafted 28th in the first
27:30
round. Yes, that's what I mean.
27:31
He was in the 20s still. A first round, yeah, it was a
27:34
first round pick and then he decided I want to go.
27:37
I know he's drafted out of high school and then he had to he
27:40
wanted to decide if he's going to play college ball or play for
27:42
the Yankees and he decided he wanted to go play college ball.
27:46
So he rebutted the the draft and the Yankees got an extra first
27:50
round draft pick because Garrett Cole decided to go back to to go
27:53
play for UCLA. The fact is, at the time,
27:57
Garrett Cole was a Yankee and that's why the Yankees were
28:00
gunning for him when Houston was fighting to give him another
28:03
contract and it's extend him. The Yankees grabbed the guy that
28:07
Brian Cashman drafted years before he decided to go play
28:10
college ball. What I'm saying here is you're
28:13
going to see that NIL deals are going to drive these young kids
28:17
to decide, hey, you know what? I don't know what I'm going to
28:20
do as a pro. I could still make generational
28:23
type of money playing college sports.
28:26
And if I make a pro team, I still get a full scholarship.
28:30
I'm still making millions of dollars as a as as a college
28:34
player. I got nothing to worry about.
28:37
The NFL, the NBA, the MLB, the NHL, that's all A+ to me.
28:42
When I move forward after four years of college, this will push
28:45
kids to decide, hey, you know what?
28:46
I'll play my 4 years of college. I'm not going to rush into
28:50
playing professional sports because I'm making them money.
28:52
I understand that, but Speedy, you brought up something about
28:55
the NIL money and you know, these five star guys wanting to
28:59
keep them for four years. This is what I hate about the
29:01
transfer portal because what like and you brought this up
29:04
when you brought up Saban and raising young men and Belichick,
29:07
right. Well, are we truly raising young
29:10
men? Because if you say and let's
29:13
let's do this as a commitment to anything you do in life.
29:16
And when it gets harder, if you don't like it or you can go make
29:19
more money. Oh, I'm just going to leave.
29:21
Are we truly raising young men where, hey, I can go and make
29:25
more money or hey, I didn't get the money I thought, or I didn't
29:28
get the playing time. I can just leave and go Willy
29:31
nilly. So are we really raising young
29:33
men in the aspect of them, in their morale?
29:37
Are we just making them good business people?
29:40
Those are two different things. They go hand in hand.
29:44
But if this gets hard, I don't get any playing time.
29:47
Let me go take an extra year. I don't have to sit out.
29:50
I can maybe go make a little bit of money, but oh, I'm not
29:54
playing. So I'm going to leave because I
29:56
don't like it. Wham, Wham.
29:58
Well, if you don't like it, play better.
30:00
So are we truly raising young men?
30:02
Are we raising young businessmen and women?
30:05
Well, and I you go back to this and and again going back to the
30:08
NIL, DO's we go back to the coaches and what the coaches
30:11
stand for. Is it good for the player to see
30:14
the coaches? Hey, you know what somebody's
30:16
offering me from 7 million to 13 million?
30:18
I'm I'm the reason why you're making all that money.
30:21
I'm the reason why you're ranked in the top ten in all of the
30:24
country. I'm the reason why you're up for
30:26
a national championship. OK.
30:28
So if that's the case, they they're getting that money based
30:31
upon projection and that's let's that's any draft, right?
30:34
Like that's we're not we're not talking crazy in that.
30:37
But also when it comes down to it, OK, we're offering say it.
30:42
Let's just use 10 million as an example, just an EV number.
30:46
OK, you're a five star coming in and you kind of touched on this
30:48
a little bit and you come in and you aren't a five star, OK,
30:53
you're going to get a signing bonus, but now you're not
30:56
getting all of that money. That's where I think you were
30:59
trying to get into like, OK, you come in, you haven't played a
31:03
snap in college football. We're talking SEC where they're
31:05
getting the big money. Nebraska is one of the top ten
31:08
schools of NIL money just because you have all these rich
31:10
farmers from western Nebraska. We have the most, We have the
31:13
most billionaires per capita. I'm going to say Viola nil deal
31:18
was pretty big I'm pretty sure. But yeah, but you got to forget
31:21
they're not, they're just adding monetary.
31:23
They're not adding the apartment that he got, the free cars that
31:26
he gets. That's on top of everything.
31:29
And so for me, it's like, and you touched on it where it's
31:33
like, OK, you haven't played a snap.
31:36
So you come in and you're this guy, right?
31:39
Well, now you're not that guy and you got benched.
31:42
Oh, you still expect that money? That's where it comes in.
31:45
Are we raising men? Are you raising young
31:48
businessmen and women? OK, because now he doesn't like
31:50
it. He can go to another school and
31:52
make money. What choice do you have for a
31:55
program like Maryland, though? If you're getting, if you're not
31:57
getting, if you're getting stagnant with football, they've
32:00
made some few bowl games. Fish were showing the highlights
32:02
of the the Mayo Bowl game or the mayonnaise.
32:04
Stuff they've made, they've more and more bowl games than us, no.
32:07
I know that. That's what I'm saying.
32:07
Like a lot of those programs really don't have that kind of
32:10
choice. You'd be able to just shy that
32:12
away. Otherwise you end up with
32:13
coaches like Davos Sweeney that are just to be anti transfer
32:16
portal and a program like Clemson, maybe you can get away
32:19
with that because they have a good reputation.
32:20
A program like Maryland cannot get away.
32:22
With do you cap it per team or do you cap it like do you tear
32:26
it like OK, 5432 or do you like, OK, this sport gets this because
32:33
obviously we know the footballs and the basketballs are the
32:35
money driven sports, right? For us, it's not really like
32:39
we're a different. We're a volleyball school and
32:41
you know, we've got decent basketball, nothing, nothing
32:43
crazy, crazy good. But you know, we get good
32:46
attendance, obviously have great NIL and we get some decent
32:49
players, don't get me wrong, but we're a volleyball school and a
32:52
football school and most are football, basketball and and
32:56
then there's football, baseball. It's it's it's kind of all over
32:58
the place. But my question is do do we cap
33:01
it per player wise? And I and speedy, I get what
33:04
you're saying. It's like some of these schools
33:06
don't have the opportunity. But then you got like Oklahoma
33:09
State or somebody like that that has Boone pickings that just
33:12
gives billions of dollars. Mind you, he's passed away, but
33:14
you know, his his trust and his family.
33:17
So I don't know the right. Do you do you do it because then
33:20
it's kind of unfair? Do you make it like a luxury tax
33:23
where it becomes like, OK, this school gets if it goes above
33:26
this mount, then a Division One mid major like a South Dakota
33:31
state or something around like I'm just thinking around here
33:34
where it's like then it goes, it trickles down.
33:38
I just don't know the right answer of of how to succumb
33:40
that. I think the NCAA will obviously
33:44
win the new rules and, and the transformation of where the NCAA
33:49
is going to go with the NIL deals in the next three to four
33:52
years. They're going to have some kind
33:53
of plan. I'm sure a lot of different
33:56
schools and programs, top schools and programs are going
33:58
to find ways where it'll make it easier to get the recruiting
34:02
players that they want because everybody knows and, and, and
34:05
it's the truth depending on the sport that top ten schools to
34:09
play basketball, the top ten schools to play football, the
34:12
top ten schools to play baseball and the top ten schools to play
34:15
hockey. So, and then volleyball and then
34:18
lacrosse. Schools that are giving the
34:20
money, no matter. What so if you know that they're
34:23
they're the tops of of their programs in those areas, that's
34:28
where the money is going to probably be divided out with
34:31
those schools like Duke is not known for the football, even
34:34
though they've had guys like Riley Leonard, they've had
34:37
players come out. Obviously there's yeah, Danny
34:41
Dimes that came from the organization.
34:43
Well, the program. And then you look at what do
34:45
they know for? They know for their lacrosse,
34:46
which is one of the best in the country every single year, and
34:49
their basketball, the Duke Blue Devils, which has really been a
34:53
powerhouse since Coach K went there.
34:55
So then you're looking, OK, where do I, I want to go and
34:58
play for a top collegiate school where I'm going to get a great
35:01
degree. I'm going to Duke because their
35:04
program is telling you right now that you're probably going to
35:07
elite 8:00 every single year or Sweet 16 every single year,
35:10
Definitely a tournament and their their college lacrosse
35:13
team always wins. They've won five national
35:16
championships in like 1213 years.
35:19
So that that's where you want to go.
35:21
If you're going to Duke, those are the two programs you're
35:24
going to jump into. It's about it's about money.
35:26
And I know fish is going to go into this too, because it to me,
35:30
it's not about how you divide it out.
35:32
It it's when you look at these players and the type of
35:35
recruiting players they are, is lacrosse that big of an
35:38
important sport to go and watch? Is that going to bring a lot of
35:41
money to, you know, the the program?
35:43
No, the two programs, like you were saying, Jabba, that really
35:48
drives those schools is the basketball program and the
35:51
football program. Football being #1 basketball
35:53
being #2 that's a fact. Go look at it.
35:56
Go look at it. Even you look at the NBA in the
35:58
NFL right now and why they're bringing in so much 10s of
36:01
millions of dollars through sponsors and endorsements and
36:04
all that other stuff. It's because of what those
36:07
sports, those sports bring back, bring back worldwide.
36:11
Now football is big in England. They might have an English team,
36:15
maybe in the future. Germany, we saw our first
36:18
Germany game a couple of years ago with Tom Brady.
36:21
Remember that? Australia, Brazil, the first
36:25
game of the season this past year, last year, I I think if I
36:28
was a mistake, it was Green Bay and somebody else.
36:30
Yeah, Philly. And that was when, if I, if I'm
36:33
not mistaken, Love got hurt. He got hurt.
36:36
Now have. They done one in London?
36:38
Or was that baseball? They've done it a couple of
36:41
times, and he's both on London, too.
36:42
The Jaguars are an organization that might want to their owner
36:46
is from he's foreign, he's a billionaire, and he's always
36:50
wanted to move the Jacksonville Jaguars to England.
36:52
Owns Premier League teams over there as well.
36:55
I've always thought the perfect name if they move there is the
36:58
London Knights. Wouldn't that be just I could
37:01
see the jersey, I could see the merch.
37:03
It just is like perfect. I I, I can't believe no one's
37:05
taken that before. I I was in a Madden franchise
37:08
with my brother and the chargers move and became nuts.
37:11
That's interesting. I I would imagine it would look
37:13
like a chess piece or something like that.
37:15
You know what I mean? And you know what I would have?
37:17
You know what I would have as a my logo?
37:19
I would have the sword in the stone.
37:21
That's what I would have. I like that.
37:23
See, there's so much merch you can get out of it.
37:25
Makes so much sense. I mean, there's only so many
37:27
people who really love Jaguars, I think out there.
37:30
But this whole thing, Errol, we were talking about earlier
37:35
today, you've mentioned a couple of times.
37:37
I just see this as like the coach getting really frustrated
37:40
like all right, so I've got star players they have to get paid.
37:44
Then I have starters, they have to get paid.
37:46
But those starters, a bunch of them were two star and three
37:48
star guys that developed and now they're going into their senior
37:52
year. So they need to get paid, but I
37:54
can't pay all of them because I also need to pay the freshman
37:58
quarterback coming in. I got to pay these backup that,
38:00
you know, the six foot seven £400 lineman who can't play at
38:04
all right now, but I got to pay them because I'm going to
38:07
develop them. So now this guy when or other
38:09
guys like a red shirt freshman, you know, five star guy who's
38:13
not playing this year is walking around campus flaunting money
38:17
and you're a starter on the team and you're looking like a punk
38:21
and he's probably talking shit about you too because he's got
38:24
this money and you don't. So what's going to happen?
38:27
You're going to transfer out of there, right?
38:29
You're going to go where you can be big dog on campus.
38:32
So now all these teams are going to lose their mid tier pieces,
38:35
their depth and all they're going to have is a bunch of
38:38
really good players and a bunch of guys that aren't there yet.
38:41
And you're going to have these locker room issues.
38:42
You're going to see a completely fall apart.
38:45
This Maryland program. This guy is gone as a head coach
38:48
if he can't figure this out this year.
38:49
I mean, the fact that he admitted it as very brave of
38:52
him. I think it very stand up guy to
38:53
say like, you know, I screwed up.
38:55
This is why I did not know how to handle it.
38:57
And he said, I'll put my, my, my desk in the locker room.
39:01
He's not going to let anyone talk about money in the locker
39:03
room. He's going to try to make up.
39:04
I don't know if that works either, though.
39:06
Like that's, that's like, how are you going to get people to
39:08
stop talking about this? It's you can't stop talking
39:11
about it. I don't know.
39:12
I mean, Jabba in the pros, I would imagine it's a little
39:16
different, you know, as far as the professionalism of talking
39:18
about it, but I'm sure you still see some of that, right?
39:21
Yeah. I mean you do obviously I think
39:24
it's a little bit different because there's I mean there's a
39:28
lot of obviously the USA TODAY everybody's opening salaries is
39:32
on opening day. So you can kind of see
39:34
everybody. I mean the thing that probably
39:36
is the only difference is endorsements and that's about
39:39
it. But I think more so on the on
39:43
the college side is you do see that two or three guy that is
39:46
like, OK, well, I've earned my right.
39:48
Like I was only getting, you know, 10 grand or 20 grand.
39:53
And now, you know, you're bringing in, you know, this kid
39:56
that hasn't done anything. And I've proven and we've gotten
39:58
2 bowl games. Why I've been here.
40:00
Why are you going to give him, you know, 500 grand and I'm
40:03
still only getting 10. So I can see it But and it it's
40:07
just harder and I. I've tried to learn as much as I
40:11
could about the nil and it's still still all kind of over the
40:14
place as far as like logistics and how it works.
40:19
So I don't know if it's public. I don't know if you can go and
40:22
look and you. Were saying before Java like how
40:26
are they going to distribute them to good programs versus
40:28
like the most profitable sports. Right.
40:30
And it's like it's like, OK, yeah, you have profitable in one
40:33
sport. I don't know the balance.
40:34
I don't know the right answer, but I think it's tough too,
40:37
because that like fish, that's a great question because like the
40:41
unknown is like, is this dude really making the 300 grand that
40:44
I heard? Or is, you know, that just
40:46
hearsay. You still got guys like still
40:48
growing up, they're still teenagers.
40:50
So I mean, that's a big deal. Like once you're in the big
40:52
leagues, it's like, hey, I'm here, I'm making good money.
40:55
Obviously some guys are making crazy money, but you're like,
40:58
I'm doing all right. The NIL deals also, even though
41:01
there's a certain amount of money that you can dish out to
41:03
certain a certain one of these players and superstar players
41:06
that they're going to bring up or bring in either through the
41:09
portal or through, you know, recruiting them.
41:12
They're they're still money going to be pitched under the
41:14
table. And I don't care what anybody
41:16
says, there's still going to be crooked owner, you know, crooked
41:21
schools that are going to have the coaches do it or they're
41:24
going to have somebody handing, handing these kids some kind of
41:28
money where everything that they're like probably not
41:31
getting because the team, the school's get saying, you know
41:34
what, we're going to give it to this guy and we're going to give
41:37
you some money under the table. That to me is going to be
41:40
something that the NCAA is going to have to look at too in the
41:43
future. Because that it's not only going
41:46
to be the big recruiting schools, it's going to be the
41:48
smaller ones. Because that is more likely to
41:51
happen in the smaller schools. Knowing that they're going to be
41:55
able to dish that kind of money and try to get a top tight end
41:58
or a top quarterback or whatever they decide they think is best
42:02
for their school and and winning or trying to win a ball game.
42:05
Because remember, every time you go and play in a ball game, when
42:07
it comes to college football, you'll automatically, if I'm not
42:10
mistaken, making $10 million. Yeah, I think the conference
42:13
gets a percentage too, which is going to incentive for football
42:16
programs, other sports to be able to grow that way too.
42:19
Jeff was saying to like a certain types of bowl games.
42:22
Depending on the level of bowl games, we'll get a certain
42:24
amount of money as. Well, it's a it's a good
42:26
argument to where the NIL is going to go.
42:28
And obviously they're going to have to sit down and decide how
42:31
this money's going to be divvied out or how this portal thing
42:35
that they have right now, which everybody is using.
42:38
Because I want to go play on play with Deion Sanders.
42:40
And then after that, you don't like Deion, I want to go and be
42:43
coached by Davos Sweeney or one of these other guys.
42:46
I want to go to Georgia. I want to go to Tennessee
42:48
because they're a great program and I love the coach.
42:50
Or I want to go and be coached by Bill Belichick's wife or
42:53
fiance, future wife, and like to look at that, those tits and ass
42:57
for the next couple of years. I wouldn't mind that.
42:59
Maybe she's got some friends for me.
43:01
If I'm a five star, don't. Tell, don't tell Catherine that.
43:07
I mean, we know that. We know that's part of it, too.
43:10
Right. Hey, I can I this and
43:11
everything. I won't drop names, but we had a
43:13
house that you went to when you when it was recruiting weekend.
43:17
I wonder what Java it's true what you were doing there.
43:19
Everybody does. Hey Java, I asked AI to show us
43:26
what the Nebraska rich businessmen look like and it
43:29
came up with this for us. Nice, sounds about right.
43:37
The Corn Mafia. The corn.
43:39
Is there actually a Corn Mafia? Is there really?
43:42
I, I would assume all those farmers in western Nebraska, I,
43:46
I don't necessarily know, but like if you, if you cross, like
43:50
if you try to like cross pollinate, like, and like get
43:53
over and somebody's like, it could be a row of whether it's
43:56
beans or corn or wheat or barley.
44:00
Like it's, yeah, it's, it's fighting words.
44:02
Like I got a buddy his, they, they farm 21,000 acres.
44:07
And so yeah, it's those. What'd you say?
44:09
About my barley, Yeah. What did you say about my
44:12
barley? Speaking and the best part is
44:15
one of one of my good buddies in in western Nebraska.
44:18
He works for a financial company as and literally they meet every
44:22
morning for coffee and he just manages their money.
44:25
That's all he does. They meet every morning for
44:27
coffee and their average eight. Well, he's he's 4048 and he took
44:33
over for a good friend of mine's dad who retired and he was like
44:37
8, like 80. And he's like, yeah, these dudes
44:40
are like 848180. And he goes.
44:43
We sit and have coffee every morning and talk about what we
44:46
need to do. Coffee.
44:48
It's coffee. It's.
44:50
Coffee. It's coffee.
44:51
Coffee. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
44:53
our deuce of the day. The deuce of the day.
44:57
You log? Not a log.
44:58
I don't have a log. But all right, ladies and
45:08
gentlemen, my deuce of the day has to go to the Pittsburgh
45:11
Steelers, an organization that are absolutely out there when it
45:15
comes to deciding who they're going to pay or who they're
45:20
trading for. An organization that never went
45:22
out there and bought a wide receiver, or did they recently
45:27
as they traded for one in DK Metcalf?
45:30
An organization that has said many times over the years that
45:34
their coaches are players coaches but one of them can't
45:38
get out of the first round and players coaches don't really win
45:41
games. Or the same organization that
45:45
had the best player in the league besides a quarterback and
45:50
waited till really camps open up to pay him.
45:54
What does that smell? Well, it smells.
45:57
It smells a lot like garbage dump or whatever you want to say
46:01
and you're mixed up in one. The fact is, DJ Watt has been
46:05
the best player in the league. Not a quarterback in the last
46:10
three seasons has been untouchable.
46:13
When people were comparing obviously Micah Parsons to him
46:16
and Miles Garrett to him and all these pass rushers, none of them
46:20
touched the numbers of this man. When you look at the beginning
46:25
of the offseason, who got the money first?
46:28
Miles Garrett as Miles Garrett, as good as Miles Garrett is, and
46:32
by the way, was the number one pick in the first round, what,
46:36
5-6, seven years ago? Same draft as TJ Watt.
46:39
OK TJ Watt who was drafted 30 is considered a better all around
46:45
player PPRPPF whatever you want to do it al your algorithms on
46:51
YouTube and all that other garbage.
46:54
The fact that Pittsburgh waited this long to pay this man a
46:59
three-year 42 and a half, $1,000,000 contract tells me
47:02
they're a dumb organization and almost lost the best player
47:06
they've had really since I I would say Ben Roethlisberger if
47:10
you really ask me. So I it just tells me Han gets a
47:15
extended contract. You're going to pay this guy and
47:18
give him an extended contract for all the garbage he has put
47:22
together over the last couple years.
47:23
They haven't won anything. They I haven't even been into an
47:25
AFC title game. And how long this has been a
47:28
joke, an organization, it going to keep that idiot in office.
47:32
To me, it only smells like crap. And that's why I'm going to give
47:36
him the deuce of the day. It there's no way you could sit
47:39
here and tell me that this organization knows what they're
47:43
doing and Mike Tomlin could be on his way out at the end of the
47:47
season if he doesn't know how to control this worthless, no good
47:51
quarterback who has come out numerous amount of time saying
47:55
that he could still be an elite quarterback in the league.
47:57
So that's my deuce of the day. Pittsburgh Steelers stupid
48:01
organization even Dumber bringing in DK Metcalf and it's
48:04
going to come back and backhand them right in the face.
48:08
Let me ask you guys a question. You look at this is just the
48:13
facts here. They traded a wide receiver to
48:17
the Cowboys, OK, And he is a he's a really good wide
48:21
receiver. Couldn't control him.
48:23
Mike Tomlin has always said that he's a player's coach, but could
48:25
never control he's he's big personalities.
48:28
Couldn't control Le'veon Bell, couldn't control obviously
48:32
Santonio Holmes over the years, couldn't control any of those
48:36
guys, even Antonio Brown. And this organization decides to
48:41
trade a guy that they can't control for another guy that was
48:45
crying and complaining in Seattle because he wasn't making
48:49
enough. I mean, come on.
48:51
Did that to me. You're just bringing in another
48:53
problem. And then to top it all off,
48:56
you're bringing the biggest problem and the biggest mouth in
48:58
professional football. Ask Pat McAfee and Aaron
49:02
Rodgers. He just really liked that
49:03
ayahuasca. It it doesn't make sense.
49:05
And now they're giving this guy Han an extended contract.
49:09
Is that his name? Han.
49:10
Omar Khan? No, he wasn't the GM the whole
49:13
time, but he again, the Steelers have not won a playoff game in
49:16
TJ Watt's career. I don't care how long he's been
49:19
there. You give him an extension when
49:22
this is an organization with all this talent when it comes to
49:25
defense and they can't get out of the first round.
49:28
Look at the teams that have beaten them over the last 8-8
49:31
years. They were.
49:32
They were better than practically 5 or six of those
49:35
teams, and they lost. Not against Buffalo.
49:38
I'm not going to talk about that.
49:39
Yeah. But they want 48 points to the
49:42
Blake Bortles LED Jaguar. It's embarrassing.
49:45
It is embarrassing. And I'm not going to sit here
49:47
and beat around the Bush. And nobody honestly out there
49:50
would actually believe that they're a smart organization
49:54
because they're not. And there are not many smart
49:56
organizations. I remember when they Pittsburgh
49:59
was looked at, it was one of the smart ones and so were the
50:01
Giants. Over the last couple of years.
50:03
Would you put the Giants in the Pittsburgh Steelers on the top?
50:06
Not a chance in hell. I put Philadelphia, I put Kansas
50:10
City. Philadelphia has been a laughing
50:12
stock when it came to executives and organizations of the way
50:16
they're run. Look at how how they run right
50:18
now. Yeah, the the Eagles, like maybe
50:20
two years in a row, they'll, they'll be bad and they, they
50:23
bounce back quickly. The Giants have never recovered.
50:25
No. And that you want.
50:26
You don't want to know why. And all you giant fans, here's
50:29
where it's going to sink really deep into your brains.
50:32
It was a coach that won two of them that surprised the New
50:37
England Patriots not once, but twice, and beat them undefeated.
50:42
Tom friggin Coughlin, That was the reason why your team fell
50:48
flat on their ass, because they decided, hey, we're not going to
50:53
give him the defensive players we want because we want Ben
50:55
McAdoo. Wonderful move for the New York
50:58
Giants. Wonderful move for John Mara,
51:01
who, by the way, was right again about Saquon Barkley.
51:04
You're going to treat him in the same division?
51:06
I mean, you're going to let him go to a team in the same
51:08
division? What are you nuts?
51:10
And what did he do? He almost broke Eric Dickerson's
51:13
record and wins the Super Bowl and was arguably the best player
51:18
throughout the Super Bowl of the playoffs all season.
51:21
So it just tells you one thing, Your owner's smart, but not
51:25
smart enough. Don't worry, we gave Darius
51:26
Slayton the same money this offseason.
51:28
Oh yeah. Oh, that was another one.
51:30
Oh what a joke. The guy that people and giant
51:33
fans compared to Odell Beckham. Maybe we started with Tyler
51:36
Harrison. What a joke.
51:38
Oh my God, the Giants. I will say this, the quarterback
51:41
they drafted in the first round looks pretty good.
51:43
It looks pretty good. I've been watching some video
51:46
and watching some footage about him and and what they're saying
51:50
about him. Hey, if the Giants get a home
51:53
run from him, even if they're wrong about the defensive line
51:56
because he can't stay healthy from Penn State or any one of
51:59
those guys, if they're right about that quarterback and they
52:02
traded up and they got him the way they did and he becomes
52:05
something special. Oh, my God.
52:07
Yeah. Jackson Dart If.
52:09
If if something if that works out for them.
52:12
Oh what a freaking home run that is.
52:14
Guess who that's going to make look bad?
52:15
The Steelers, who also could have drafted him at #20.
52:18
Listen, I mean Dart did. His first pass in camp was a
52:22
pick 6. And what I've heard.
52:24
That did happen. And what I've heard over the
52:27
last couple of weeks and him practicing, he's the he's
52:30
already the leader of that team. He's one of the top three
52:33
leaders of that team, yeah. They will actually had to come
52:36
out and say that Wilson was the quarterback, yes, because
52:39
there's so much steam for Dart and he's so far ahead.
52:42
Like in those intangible qualities and people realize.
52:45
Well, first, we don't, we don't want, we don't want Jackson Dart
52:47
learning leadership skills from Russell Wilson because we know
52:49
how that went down. I'm just, I'm just telling you
52:51
what I think. And I think that obviously when
52:54
you look at the big picture and you look at the Giants, I mean
52:58
this your GM has been an absolute debacle.
53:01
But if they get it right with Jackson Dart, I mean, everything
53:06
could go away. He could everything, all that
53:08
goes away if Jackson Dart becomes a superstar player in
53:12
this league. So I'm not saying that he is,
53:14
but I've heard a lot of good things about him, you know, over
53:17
the years, you know, when The Jets draft the quarterback, you
53:19
hear all these mumblings are this guy's he's not really as
53:22
good as what they they say he is.
53:24
He hasn't looked good in practice.
53:26
Everything I've heard about Jackson Dart is he looks very
53:29
special and he's already one of the top three team leaders of
53:33
that Giant team, even over the veterans.
53:35
So says a lot about him. And and I like the fact that
53:39
he's taking charge and and he believes that he's going to be
53:42
the the Giants quarterback for the future.
53:44
So I I mean, if you're a giant fan, which I'm not, I can't
53:47
stand the organization. You should be happy.
53:49
We'll see if it works out for them.
53:50
I, I hope obviously our quarterback is the real deal
53:54
and, and the The Jets figure him out and turn him into something
53:57
special. Carl doesn't believe so.
53:58
Well, that's why Carl is Niffen's worst nightmare or
54:03
Niffen is Carl's worst nightmare.
54:05
Carl. Plays with himself.
54:06
As we all know, yeah. Because Carl's the expert.
54:08
I know a great quarterback play as a Bears fan.
54:10
The only team that's ever thrown 4000 yards in a season.
54:14
Even the Browns have. Thrown 4000.
54:15
Yards of the season. We all know that things happen
54:18
for a reason and maybe the Giants get a slam dunk.
54:22
If you're a dime fan, you should be happy about that.
54:24
As a Jet fan, I want to see them be pulverized.
54:26
I want to see Jackson Duck running for his life three years
54:29
from now when he plays the New York Jets.
54:30
Cuz that's what we pray to God it was going to happen.
54:33
By the way, did you hear that Will McDonald gained 15 lbs in
54:38
the offseason? He looks really, really good and
54:42
a lot of different things that I've heard is he looks even
54:45
faster than he did last year, as big as he is.
54:47
Could you? Imagine was always his problem.
54:48
He was 239 coming out of the draft.
54:50
That's 15. Pounds of muscle.
54:52
That's good, yeah. 15 lbs of muscle and what I've heard
54:55
through the coaching staff is he looks like a beast.
54:58
He looked and and and they're saying that James Jermaine
55:01
Johnson could be back a lot sooner than they saying that he
55:04
could be. Thank you again.
55:06
We'll be back on Monday. Speedy, who will you have?
55:08
On joining the show, thanks to Nathan for getting him. 9:45
55:11
will be a former Ray's Rockies. A couple other teams I don't
55:14
forget offhand. Ray's Rockies relief pitcher
55:16
Jake McGee will be joining us. Jake.
55:18
McGee solid there. You go.
55:20
Jake, good stuff. Yes, that'll be fun.
55:23
A little a little speedy. Little left-hander.
55:26
Yeah, little left-hander who likes to blow loads, as we all
55:29
know. Anyways, thank you again.
55:31
We really appreciate it. The fans.
55:33
Thank you to Blue Wire. Think, oh, I just hit myself in
55:36
the crotch. Oh, that hurts.
55:38
Oh man. How the hell did you do that?
55:41
I put my hand up and I slapped down and it hit me right in
55:44
between my legs. That hurts.
55:45
