- 0:00It's the worldwide sports radio network.
- 0:06JJ McCarthy and the Vikings outscored Caleb Williams and the
- 0:10Bears 21 to 7 in the fourth quarter to knock off their
- 0:14division rivals 2724 and a stunner.
- 0:17McCarthy, after throwing a pick 6 to start the second-half,
- 0:20rallied the troops and threw TD passes to Justin Jefferson and
- 0:23Aaron Jones before running it in for himself from 14 yards out to
- 0:27put the game all but out of reach with under 3 minutes to
- 0:30go. Is the former Michigan National
- 0:33Championship winning QB just scratching the surface of what
- 0:36is going to be a star-studded career?
- 0:39And what about Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams?
- 0:42How will they rebound from a lackluster start to their time
- 0:45together? And in a bombshell report from
- 0:48The Athletic, 8 high-ranking Detroit Tigers executives,
- 0:52including four vice presidents, have been accused of sexual
- 0:55misconduct towards women and claimed that the Tigers
- 0:58organization is riddled with offenders and is one of the most
- 1:01toxic places to work in professional sports.
- 1:05Not a good look for a team that has led the AL Central season.
- 1:08We will cover all the insurance and outs of one of the grimiest
- 1:11stories going today before making a call to the pen and

- 3:51for all our shows is go to our website at
- 3:53www.worldwidesportsorradio.com Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's
- 4:00been raining all day here in Long Island, New York.
- 4:03If do you like the rain? Well, I like dancing in the
- 4:07rain. I don't know if anybody's done
- 4:08it. I've done it many, many times.
- 4:10It was misting today. I was acting like a Jackass over
- 4:13there at Math Mather and I was dancing on the sidewalk and then
- 4:18these girls, I guess nurses, were walking around getting
- 4:21their cardio and they were looking at me and thought I was
- 4:23absolutely nuts. So I am a little nuts.
- 4:25If you don't listen to this show, you would probably know
- 4:28that I'm a little little nuts, a little nutty.
- 4:31But yeah, I, I like to do stupid things, usually half the day.
- 4:35And then as we move forward later in the day, I do even more
- 4:39interesting things. But nevertheless, I wasn't doing
- 4:42anything that got me in trouble. So that's a good sign.
- 4:44Jabba, what's going on with you, man?
- 4:46I know you've been doing your cardio.
- 4:48You're eating your yogurt. You're staying healthy. 36 lbs
- 4:52down right now, Mr. Chamberlain. Nothing.
- 4:56It got up to 88 today, so it was kind of hot. 88 over there.
- 5:00Right now, yeah, it's, I mean, we were what it was down to like
- 5:0348 I think last week. And now back up to we'll have
- 5:06like a few days of this, then I'll go back to the normal.
- 5:09We'll see if we actually get some fall weather, which will be
- 5:11nice because the fall around here, when leaves start changing
- 5:15and everything, that's always, always a good time around here.
- 5:17I like the. Fall.
- 5:18I like the fall. I like when the leaves are
- 5:20falling down. The only thing I hate about the
- 5:22fall is when all the leaves are off the trees and you got to
- 5:26clean up and it gets wet and soggy.
- 5:28The leaves get wet and soggy. And if you're doing are you
- 5:31cleaning off the lawn? It takes forever to clean up,
- 5:33and that's what. You have to.
- 5:34Do do you bag your leaves or do you mulch them?
- 5:37IA lot of people over here, they don't even do it.
- 5:40What they do is they hire all these different companies to do
- 5:43it for him because I live in a very, yeah, they, I live in a
- 5:46very rich neighborhood. So they're all, they're all
- 5:49hiring people to do it. They don't even want to do it.
- 5:51My landlord, he actually enjoys doing it.
- 5:55So he mulches them. Sometimes he picks it up
- 5:57depending on where it is, because he's got a lot of trees
- 6:01and a lot of bushes. So you got to go in it and you
- 6:03got to pull it out. So usually in the bushes he's
- 6:06begging them on the on the on the grass, he's usually mulching
- 6:10them, but he's very particular on how he takes care of his lawn
- 6:14and his property. I've had some bad experiences
- 6:16jumping into leave piles with sticks.
- 6:19But when you're a kid you don't like as a grown up, you think
- 6:22about it because you know you're doing it for your kids.
- 6:24But then as a kid, like you don't care.
- 6:26Like I'm just jumping in. I've been stabbed with sticks so
- 6:28many times. But those are the fun memories
- 6:31you remember as a kid jumping into leave piles and playing.
- 6:34Playing pickle in the front yard, Playing pickle.
- 6:36Those are all at the good time. What the hell is playing between
- 6:38the trees? I between.
- 6:40The trees, man. Playing pickle here is a
- 6:42completely different thing to do.
- 6:44I mean, if you're playing pickle, you're getting yourself
- 6:46into trouble. You might go to jail, if you
- 6:47know what I mean. Yeah, well, we're not, we're not
- 6:50playing yet hiding the pickle. We're playing rundown.
- 6:54I don't know, like that's Sandlot, right?
- 6:58That's, I mean pickle. The pickle you're from.
- 7:03You're from Long Island, dude. It's a who knows what whose
- 7:06knows what's going in your orifices over there.
- 7:08Orifices. Speedy finally knows what that
- 7:13is after about two months. No, I don't cuz I don't cuz
- 7:16Errol's laughing. I know it's something like that.
- 7:20Yeah. He wouldn't crack up that hard
- 7:22unless it was involving something about me.
- 7:24Well, I I don't. Like, no, we we all have them,
- 7:28yeah. I believe it's.
- 7:30Speedy likes to play with his own fiddle.
- 7:32You know he he doesn't. He doesn't like to climb Roof
- 7:35is, if you know what I mean. Anyways, yeah, it's been a a
- 7:42crazy week and I know a lot of people are enjoying their time.
- 7:46Sports is really starting to pick up.
- 7:48You got the football season. We're going already in Week 2.
- 7:52It's crazy. We have a big game coming up on
- 7:55Thursday Night Football. You have the Packers, yes, two
- 7:58possible playoff teams sitting there right now, the Commanders
- 8:02and the Packers. The Packers, we saw what they
- 8:04did in game number one against a very good Lions team in the
- 8:07Commanders absolutely demolished the New York Giants, Giants and,
- 8:11and the Giants, you know, they, they stayed close.
- 8:14But I, I want to see Daniels, Jaden Daniels actually pick up
- 8:17his game a little bit better against this Green Bay Packer
- 8:20team. And they're going into Green
- 8:21Bay. It's going to be loud.
- 8:22People are going to be crazy over there and it's not a cold
- 8:25time. So I guess the commanders are
- 8:27going into Green Bay at the perfect time.
- 8:29They don't have to deal with that freezing.
- 8:32What do they call it? The frozen tundra over there.
- 8:34You don't want to go over there in Green Bay when it's cold and
- 8:38you have all these people wearing no shirts.
- 8:40I have no idea. Has anybody watched these Green
- 8:43Bay Packer games in, in the month of January?
- 8:46These the fans are nuts. They're nuts.
- 8:49It's below 0 and they're sitting out there with just their
- 8:52underwear and, and no shirt. No, no pants, no nothing.
- 8:56It it does, I don't know how they do it.
- 8:58I would probably, I'd probably go to the hospital after the
- 9:01game because I would probably have frostbite in many different
- 9:05areas. If you know.
- 9:05What they're not. They're not the only place,
- 9:07though. The Bills do it a lot.
- 9:09Of cold places. Not, not as many, I don't think.
- 9:13Java there's enough there's enough players that try to be
- 9:16cocky and try to do it to warming up shirtless before the
- 9:18games, AKA the 2016 New York Giants.
- 9:21Everyone can play about the boat trip that everyone else's on
- 9:24offense is warming up shirtless. I think besides Eli Manic.
- 9:29I didn't. I didn't like to like when it
- 9:31was cold and they're obviously playing a little bit different,
- 9:34but like when I would warm up when it was cold, I didn't like
- 9:37to sit in front of the like the warmer or the heater or the fan
- 9:41just because I wanted to. I wanted to warm up like it was
- 9:43going to be, It's not like I have a fan, a heater blowing on
- 9:46me when I'm in the game. So as soon as I'd get called, I
- 9:49would stretch, I would have my jacket on.
- 9:50But as soon as I would, I would get warm.
- 9:52I would, I would have them turn it off or turn it towards the
- 9:54guys that were sitting in the pen.
- 9:56I just, I, I didn't like it. And to be Tommy tough nuts where
- 9:59they're on the field and like their bodies are steaming and
- 10:01stuff. I'm like, no, no.
- 10:03I like that tick, Tommy. Tough nuts.
- 10:06Tommy is not playing with his nuts right now over here at the
- 10:08board. I don't know where Tommy is.
- 10:10What happened to Tommy? Tommy Poops is not in the
- 10:14studios right now. That's an interesting story.
- 10:16Jabba, by the way. He probably fell in.
- 10:19Probably fell in the pooper. I maybe drown in the pooper.
- 10:22It doesn't make any sense. I usually go that far.
- 10:25Well, I'm a little lost today. There's a lot of stuff going on
- 10:28in the world. I'm not going to mention it.
- 10:30We don't go into politics, but it's crazy.
- 10:32The world is crazy. And that's why we try to take
- 10:35you away from all the politics and all the craziness and, and
- 10:38you get a chance to sit down and, and, and, and listen to our
- 10:41takes, what's going on in sports and, and the craziness.
- 10:44And it kind of keeps you away from all the nutty stuff that's
- 10:49going on where you just want to either jump off a bridge or jump
- 10:53off a building because it's just nuts right now all over the
- 10:56world. But nevertheless, we have a
- 10:58great show lined up for you. But I want to give a shout out.
- 11:01I was hanging out yesterday at Miller's Ale House with one of
- 11:05my good friends, Leaf. He's the manager of Miller's Ale
- 11:08House. I, I reached out to him.
- 11:10I said I'm coming up and he, he, me and him sat and we were
- 11:12speaking about sports for 2 1/2 hours.
- 11:14He's a big sports fan. And I got to hang out with Danny
- 11:18Speedy, I know you love Danny, Crazy, crazy Danny.
- 11:22So we, we really enjoyed ourselves.
- 11:24We were talking baseball and football and fantasy.
- 11:27He's in our fantasy right now. He's under the fantasy league.
- 11:30So I want to give a shout out to my friend Leaf.
- 11:33He's by the way, he's engaged, he's getting married next year.
- 11:36He's very excited and I'm excited for my pal.
- 11:39I've I've been friends with him since middle school.
- 11:42Absolutely love him. So congratulations to Leaf and
- 11:45very excited for him and his future with his future wife.
- 11:49So shout out to the Leaf boy right at 9:45, we'll be talking
- 11:53to ESPNNFL National Giants reporter and I want to give a
- 11:58shout out to our boy Ness for Landingham, Mr. Jordan Ronan.
- 12:03He's going to be joining us first time on our show.
- 12:06He's one of the best in the business.
- 12:08Very excited to get him on and a lot to get into with football as
- 12:12we're going to get right into it.
- 12:14In an electric fourth quarter comeback by the Vikings and
- 12:17quarterback JJ McCarthy, Minnesota took down the rival
- 12:23and their rival, the one and only Chicago Bears on Monday
- 12:26Night Football. The Vikings were down 17 to 6
- 12:29after JJ McCarthy threw a pick six and out outscored the Bears
- 12:3521 to 7 in the rest of the game. McCarthy finished 13 for 20 for
- 12:40143 yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 1 interception with two carries
- 12:45for 25 yards and a rushing touchdown.
- 12:48The Bears have 3 blown fourth quarter leads since the second
- 12:51second-half of last year and have lost ten of their last 11
- 12:57total games. The Bears offensive line
- 13:00struggle despite their offseason improvements, allowing 3 sacks
- 13:04while Caleb Williams scrambling was almost half of the Bears
- 13:09rushing attack. Williams was effective for new
- 13:13coach Ben Johnson, going 21 for 35 with 210 passing yards and a
- 13:20touchdown with 58 more on the ground with a rushing touchdown
- 13:25in a losing effort on a prime time channel, baby.
- 13:30And you know what channel we're talking about.
- 13:32But here's the thing, I, I, I love Caleb Williams.
- 13:36I love everything about him. I followed him all the way
- 13:39through USC and, and well, we all know what Caleb Williams was
- 13:44with, with Lincoln Riley. This is a guy that has a
- 13:47tremendous amount of talent. He is his ability to move
- 13:50outside of the pocket, make throws.
- 13:51I compared his talents to Aaron Rodgers.
- 13:55That's the type of player he is. He is sensational to watch.
- 13:59He can do so many things on the football field that would just
- 14:02make you just say wow, this guy is as good as anybody we've seen
- 14:06at the quarterback position come out of the draft over the last
- 14:09ten seasons. The problem with Caleb Williams
- 14:12is his mouth. He blabbers things.
- 14:14He does things off the field. He speaks to the media wrong.
- 14:18He goes into the, I guess the video room, sitting down with
- 14:23players, the quarterback room, as a story came out recently
- 14:26before the season started that Kayla Williams couldn't sit in
- 14:31with the quarterbacks because they were attacking him on the
- 14:35way he looked at plays, the way he didn't see the plays.
- 14:38And Ben Johnson is a very particular person offensively.
- 14:41You know, the type of coach he is.
- 14:43You saw what he did with the Lions.
- 14:46He transformed the Lions offense for the last 5-6 seasons.
- 14:50So we know what Ben Johnson is. Ben Johnson walking into this
- 14:55Chicago Bears, Bears organization, you would have
- 14:58thought this would have changed a little bit.
- 15:00This is not Eberfluse. We all know what Eberfluse was
- 15:03when he took over this job. Almost Four Seasons over there
- 15:06with Chicago, you wondered if Eberfluse was ever going to
- 15:10figure it out as a head coach, and he didn't.
- 15:12They had Justin Fields. He couldn't develop Justin
- 15:15Fields. Then they kept them.
- 15:17Chicago kept ever flew stand for another year.
- 15:20They had it. He had a chance to coach Caleb
- 15:21Williams. It didn't work out.
- 15:23So what did Chicago do? Well, Chicago went into the
- 15:27offseason and they said, you know, we got to find the best
- 15:30offensive mind we possibly can. They landed the best offensive
- 15:34coach available in this past offseason.
- 15:38And what did it do and what did it show in game number one?
- 15:41Well, it shows some interesting information.
- 15:45We saw that Caleb Williams was effective, but only in the first
- 15:49half. In the second-half, Kayla
- 15:52Williams started putting himself into bad situations, throwing
- 15:55the ball in bad situations. He sometimes threw the ball away
- 16:00and, and, and he was trying to throw it over that shoulder pass
- 16:03and he was missing wide receivers open in many different
- 16:07parts of the game, especially in the third and fourth quarter.
- 16:10Kayla Williams, to me, if you can get into his mind, he's not
- 16:14the same quarterback and you could see that.
- 16:17And I love what Chicago did in the offseason, adding Tooney and
- 16:21and some of the additions they added to the offensive line.
- 16:24But in the second-half, you saw Minnesota defense, and I'm going
- 16:27to tell you this, Minnesota defense is one of the best
- 16:30defenses in the league, especially how they blitz and
- 16:33they use their different blitz packages, bring up safeties and
- 16:36corners. You saw that in the fourth
- 16:39quarter. They put a lot of pressure on
- 16:40Caleb Williams and that offense. And the one thing I can say that
- 16:44Ben Johnson is so very good at is running the ball.
- 16:47And by the way, they couldn't run the ball in this game no
- 16:51matter who they were handing the ball to.
- 16:53The only person that can run the ball is Gayla Williams.
- 16:55And to me that is a problem. If your best runner is your
- 16:59quarterback and you're not getting any running from Swift
- 17:02or any of the talented players and playmakers that they have in
- 17:06the backfield, you have a problem.
- 17:08And you go and get some Minnesota Viking team that also
- 17:11has a rookie quarterback, JJ McCarthy, who missed his rookie
- 17:14season because he tore. What was it his knee or is it
- 17:17killies? Yeah, his knee.
- 17:19He tore his knee. He was out a whole season.
- 17:21This is his rookie season. And in the first half of the
- 17:24game, a lot of people were taking shots at JJ McCarthy.
- 17:27As a matter of fact, Fish was right there going back and forth
- 17:31telling me all JJ McCarthy, he doesn't look like he's the real
- 17:33deal, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
- 17:35blah. On social media, everybody was
- 17:37saying that JJ McCarthy is a bust.
- 17:39And then what happened in the fourth quarter, JJ McCarthy
- 17:42settled down. He realized that he has Justin
- 17:44Jefferson on the same team. He made some, you know, quite,
- 17:49quite nice you unusual passes to some of the open guys that he
- 17:53was getting the ball to. And he started using his legs,
- 17:56which he's going to be very, very good at because he's a
- 17:58mobile quarterback. And you got a chance to see a
- 18:01national championship champion player at work at the
- 18:06quarterback position. And why we've heard Jim
- 18:08Harbaugh, who is a very successful college coach and is
- 18:12a very successful NFL coach, come out and say that JJ
- 18:17McCarthy could be the best quarterback in that class.
- 18:19And you're talking about a class which Bo Knicks has shown up to
- 18:22show everybody that he could play and quite a few other
- 18:25quarterbacks that came out of that class.
- 18:27The fact. Is but Errol.
- 18:29Errol, let me ask you a question though.
- 18:30When when you said you can get into Caleb's mind, right?
- 18:34OK, yeah, they're both technically rookies.
- 18:35But do you think like the mental part of the game is is just as
- 18:39much as you work on as a physical aspect?
- 18:41Do you think that year that JJ, because he didn't see panic in
- 18:44him when it was kind of going downhill, do you think him being
- 18:48on the sideline being hurt made him do this more think about it
- 18:52than actually being thrown in the fire and being able to slow
- 18:55it down? I think when he was put in that
- 18:57position to where, yeah, they're both rookies, but he got to see
- 19:00it from the sidelines. He wasn't competing in in doing
- 19:05it at that level. So he had that time.
- 19:07And we've seen there in Rodgers the world where they sat behind
- 19:09guys, where we've seen how much that has added value to their
- 19:13game without necessarily throwing them to into the fire
- 19:16immediately. I think that JJ McCarthy is a
- 19:20guy that has a very good coach, a very good offensive mind, and
- 19:24O'Connell that's going to sit there.
- 19:25He's going to explain the XS and the OS.
- 19:27On the sideline You saw, especially in the first half, is
- 19:31when JJ McCarthy was getting uncomfortable in the pocket.
- 19:34You saw after he sat down that the coach sat with him during
- 19:39breaks. He was talking to him, showing
- 19:41him what he saw on the pad. And it it it explained a little
- 19:45bit to JJ McCarthy what O'Connell would have saw as a
- 19:49starting quarterback on an NFL team.
- 19:51Remember, O'Connell was an NFL quarterback.
- 19:53He was a backup quarterback. But this is a guy that has
- 19:56experience. He worked under Kyle Shanahan,
- 19:58he's worked on a Sean McVeigh. He's worked under good coaches,
- 20:02good offensive minds and. O'Connell could go go down as
- 20:05the better, the more talented one out of both those guys if he
- 20:08can develop a quarterback. O'Connell never had a chance to
- 20:11develop his own quarterback. He was handed Cousins, he was
- 20:15handed quarterbacks when he took over the job.
- 20:18So now he has a chance to develop one quarterback, which
- 20:21he's never got a chance to do. And, and I agree with you,
- 20:24Jabba, I think the fact that he has been in these experiences
- 20:28before, he's been in a national title game, he's been in
- 20:32positions where maybe he wasn't playing well or maybe he wasn't
- 20:35seeing the field like he should. He settled down and he realized,
- 20:40hey, listen, I'm a good quarterback.
- 20:41I can make the throws. I got the players on the field
- 20:44and I can use my legs. And you saw that in the fourth
- 20:47quarter, JJ McCarthy, you could see calm down.
- 20:51And as soon as he threw that touchdown to Justin Jefferson,
- 20:55he really started to to feel it and understand what he was
- 20:59seeing on the field. And then everything started to
- 21:02slow down in front of him. And you hear it from
- 21:03quarterbacks. Patrick Mahomes said in in his
- 21:06first season, it took six games for him to settle down and, and
- 21:10the game to slow down in front of him.
- 21:12I think JJ, I'm not saying it's slowed down.
- 21:15It's going to slow down now after the first game.
- 21:18But I, if you heard what he said after the game, he said that in
- 21:21the fourth quarter, everything started to slow down.
- 21:24I started seeing things that the coach was telling me on the
- 21:27sidelines. I felt more comfortable stepping
- 21:30into the pocket or moving outside of the pocket and making
- 21:34my my passes and, and, and again, he had a running game.
- 21:38He had Aaron Jones that could catch the ball in the backfield
- 21:41and make plays with his legs. And that was the difference in
- 21:44the game. I think Aaron Jones didn't have
- 21:46one of the best games that that he possibly can have, but Aaron
- 21:49Jones did enough to take the pressure off the young
- 21:52quarterback so he can get settled in and get calmed down
- 21:56and play and make the plays that he needed to.
- 21:59So I, I, I think the fact is we're asking and there's a lot
- 22:03of questions. Is this the same old Chicago
- 22:05Bears And is this the Minnesota Viking team that we could
- 22:09believe that is going to challenge the Detroit Lions in
- 22:12the future and the Green Bay Packers in a division that's
- 22:15fully loaded And I'm telling you absolutely loaded because I
- 22:18believe this is the best division in football.
- 22:20I again, Chicago is a team that I think is going anytime I worry
- 22:26for Chicago because they decided to part ways with Justin Fields
- 22:30and now that Ben Johnson's here, maybe Ben Johnson would have
- 22:34found the best attack with maybe a Justin Fields.
- 22:37You could see the difference with Aaron Glenn and Justin
- 22:39Fields, how much it's worked in one game.
- 22:42Maybe Ben Johnson an offensive mind, a valued, you know,
- 22:47scrambling quarterback like Justin Fields.
- 22:50That's the type of quarterback that Ben Johnson, Johnson can
- 22:52flourish with. I don't know.
- 22:53Caleb Williams is kind of like that, but he's got a better arm.
- 22:56The fact is, Caleb Williams is hard to deal with.
- 23:00I've heard stories. He thinks he's bigger and better
- 23:02than he should be. And he he he has this ego.
- 23:06And when you go out there over and over and over again, and
- 23:10we've seen it, Russell Wilson's one of them.
- 23:12Just think about it. Russell Wilson won a Super Bowl
- 23:15with one of the greatest defenses of all time.
- 23:18And Russell Wilson gets pat on the back that he was the reason
- 23:20why they won the Super Bowl. And when they threw when they
- 23:23threw that interception, when he threw that interception, what it
- 23:27was a year or two years later and, and, and, and the
- 23:30interception of that ruin the game and, and it cost him
- 23:34another Super Bowl. Everybody's going to say, well,
- 23:37Russell Wilson that he, that was his chance to prove himself and
- 23:40he never got a chance to go over that and he never could have
- 23:43looked past that. And I think that really decided
- 23:47eventually that Russell Wilson wasn't the guy anymore that they
- 23:50had to move on from Russell Wilson.
- 23:52Russell Wilson is to me a very comparable quarterback to Kayla
- 23:55Williams, a guy that wasn't drafted at the number one pick
- 23:59like Kayla Williams, but a guy that right off the bat took the
- 24:03job from that Flynn and eventually had a chance to work
- 24:07in with a a great coach. And Pete Carroll that
- 24:10understands how to win championships because he won a
- 24:12national championship, actually won two of them.
- 24:14You you with USC and then eventually struggle because he
- 24:19couldn't get along with his own team mates.
- 24:21I think that could be a problem in Chicago.
- 24:23I don't know if he's going to get along with his team mates
- 24:26and eventually his team mates are going to give up on him and,
- 24:30and and eventually put him in a put Ben Johnson.
- 24:34Who's the who's the one to step up?
- 24:35And, and I mean lack of a better term, put him in his place,
- 24:38right? I think it's Ben Johnson.
- 24:41Ben Johnson's a young coach. Ben Johnson's the one that
- 24:43everybody it was speaking so highly about how he transformed
- 24:47the Detroit Lions offense and completely turned him into a
- 24:50Super Bowl contender. And a lot of people think Ben
- 24:53Johnson's the guy that's going to do that with Chicago.
- 24:55I know me and Aaron picked the Bears, the win against Minnesota
- 24:59in Week 1 and what happened? They choked in the fourth
- 25:02quarter. This is very Bear like.
- 25:05We've seen this before. Like The Jets, they can't finish
- 25:09Minnesota. Say whatever you want about
- 25:10them. They're a team that finds a way
- 25:12to finish. Go look.
- 25:14But they also have Justin Jefferson and Chicago.
- 25:16Look at the weapons they have. DJ Moore is a great wide
- 25:19receiver. You got, you got a Dunze who is
- 25:24is going to be hopefully one of the elite wide receivers and
- 25:27young receivers in the league. They've got weapons.
- 25:30Why weren't they using those check downs that Ben Johnson
- 25:34likes to use? Remember the Lions, the Lions
- 25:36had all these running backs, Montgomery and Gibbs and then he
- 25:40had, he had guys like St. Brown and, and, and great tight
- 25:44end play. He had, he has more weapons
- 25:46right now with Chicago then he had with the Lions.
- 25:49Why weren't they? They're using their wide
- 25:52receivers in their tight ends for check downs.
- 25:54There was no check downs in the fourth quarter and I think could
- 25:57put Caleb Williams in a position to make mistakes and he made a
- 26:00lot of them, that's for sure. Yeah, it's a tough break when
- 26:03you look at the Bears and how well they played defensively
- 26:05through 3/4. And you would think the offense,
- 26:08the way that Ben Johnson likes to do it, is going to be able to
- 26:10close out that game. And I think like you were
- 26:12mentioning, a lot of it has to do with the offensive line still
- 26:14having to figure things out. I think to an extent though, a
- 26:17lot of these players, these skill players that they have,
- 26:19are still on the streakier side. DeAndre Swift had his best year
- 26:23in 2021 with Ben Johnson, but still has been a relatively
- 26:26streaky running back since then. Tight ends are still trying to
- 26:29figure it out. Can that's a good all around
- 26:31guy. Not really a a huge threat as a
- 26:33receiver, but can do a little of everything.
- 26:35Then you got Colson Loveland or they drafted a top ten pick over
- 26:38Tyler Warren, which a lot of people thought was a bold pick
- 26:40at the time and really he didn't get targeted much either.
- 26:43Where are those other options going to come from if Chicago's
- 26:46off? I was, I was looking at the game
- 26:48and I, I didn't see, did Loveland even get the ball you
- 26:50got? 2 catches, 2 catches for like.
- 26:52I didn't even see I, I wasn't watching the full game because I
- 26:55was doing the show. I was hosting the show.
- 26:57But when I was watching the game and I was glimpsing on the game,
- 27:00I didn't see Loveland get targeted enough.
- 27:03This is a guy that has tremendous speed, has great
- 27:06hands. Everybody thought he might have
- 27:08been the steal and the best tight end in the class and they
- 27:12he didn't throw him the ball enough.
- 27:14And he's the kind of guy and you know, in Ben Johnson's offense,
- 27:17he loves using the tight ends as he loved using the side ends
- 27:21with the Lions. He elevated TJ Hawkinson after
- 27:23he had a couple injury riddled seasons to get him some trade
- 27:26value in 2022. Then they traded him to the
- 27:28Vikings that year and you remember even after that those
- 27:31other random tight ends broke out.
- 27:32Remember those two that were going off against The Jets that
- 27:34one week and a couple other games down the stretch?
- 27:37The Lions were playing spoilers and almost made the playoffs a
- 27:39lot because of the way he used the tight ends.
- 27:41Then obviously Laporta has the big rookie year.
- 27:42You do not see that kind of thing in that game.
- 27:45Now I give Brian Flores some credit to obviously Vikings have
- 27:47always been a great job along with the Broncos, but those are
- 27:49probably the two best like blitz defenses in the league where
- 27:52where they discussed should have had.
- 27:53A job should have had a job in the 100%.
- 27:55He wasn't even interviewed by The Jets.
- 27:57He wasn't interviewed by three or four.
- 27:59The teams that were looking for head coaches for some reason.
- 28:02And a lot of the reasons why Brian Flores, we all know the
- 28:04back end with Miami and and suing the Miami Dolphins and,
- 28:09and a lot of people didn't like that.
- 28:10A lot of owners did not like what Brian Flores was trying to
- 28:13do and trying to bring racism into the game.
- 28:17But again, he's not wrong for what he believed.
- 28:20He was mistreated by Miami. He should have been treated a
- 28:22lot better and a lot of a lot of owners don't want to deal with
- 28:25that. Yeah, and also you look at the
- 28:26way that Flores was able to establish that culture with that
- 28:29defense, too. Remember, Mike Zimmer kind of
- 28:31wore out their players towards the end of his tenure too.
- 28:33And while he was a good coach, a lot of players were taking shots
- 28:36at him and kind of towards the end.
- 28:37And they need somebody to revitalize that defense.
- 28:39That 2022 defense was so bad and then all of a sudden he takes
- 28:42over and they are very good. And you saw what he did to that
- 28:45offense in throughout that game in the second-half of the season
- 28:48or second-half of the game, 10 points.
- 28:49They allowed pick six that made it look like 17.
- 28:52But again, the offense took a while to get going.
- 28:54But again, I was a bit skeptical with McCarthy, too.
- 28:56I thought it was a kind of a more basic quarterback.
- 28:57He made some very good intermediate throws to, granted
- 29:00Chicago was down to corners. At the same time, though, it's a
- 29:02lot of stones for a rookie quarterback in prime time to do
- 29:06what he did down 17 to 6. So you got to give JJ McCarthy
- 29:09credit there. Spread the ball around nicely.
- 29:10Jefferson gave him confidence and they use.
- 29:12Everything right now I trust. Hold on.
- 29:14Great, great usage of the word stones.
- 29:17Wow. Well, that was impressive.
- 29:19He doesn't have any stones, we all know that.
- 29:22But well, I don't know but that that.
- 29:24Flowed. He doesn't know how to use his.
- 29:25Stones. That is one of the last
- 29:27analogies I thought you'd do. You would use.
- 29:29That was speedy. Hats off to you, but wow that
- 29:32was impressive. Well, don't take that hat off.
- 29:37Hey, I'm not ashamed. I I told you I love you jobs
- 29:39away from bald and I said I love you.
- 29:41I love you. Jabba gave me a.
- 29:42Copy just now. I'm not going to.
- 29:44I'm not going to. Criticize anything.
- 29:48And that was genuine. That wasn't savior.
- 29:51I know, but he's he's not wrong. JJ McCarthy played very well in
- 29:56the fourth quarter when you probably would have thought that
- 29:58he would have given up or not realized that he was playing in
- 30:02an NFL game. And this is not the college game
- 30:04where he's going to find a way to run the ball and try to get
- 30:07in the end zone. He did more than that.
- 30:09He, he saw the field a little bit different in the fourth
- 30:12quarter and he used his best player.
- 30:15And when he figured out how to use Justin Jefferson, everything
- 30:18changed in the fourth quarter. Justin Jefferson had how many
- 30:21catches in the fourth quarter? I think it was like 4 or five.
- 30:23When you're having those kind of catches in the fourth quarter
- 30:26where it opens up the offense, then it starts to give him the
- 30:30opportunity to use his legs, which he wasn't using really
- 30:33throughout the game. I thought it was completely
- 30:35different when he was doing that in the fourth quarter.
- 30:38And I think it was unique. And I, and I think O'connell's a
- 30:41guy that I trust. I, I trust the way he calls
- 30:43games. We saw what he's done over the
- 30:46last couple years. It's, it's very comparable
- 30:48horrible to a Kyle Shanahan, the way he likes to call plays and
- 30:51you see the difference. The only thing that I could say
- 30:54that Justin JJ McCarthy needs to do more of is use his legs.
- 30:57This is a guy that is very good at seeing the field.
- 31:02I, I know Jim Harbaugh, one of the reasons why he recruited JJ
- 31:06McCarthy was the ability that he had mobility and the way he can
- 31:10move inside and out of a pocket. If he does that, I think he
- 31:13could be one of the more unique quarterbacks in this league
- 31:15because he can make those throws on the run and it reminds me and
- 31:19I he's better. He's a better version of them.
- 31:21And I know Fish doesn't want to hear this of a Daniel Jones.
- 31:24That's the type of guy he is. He doesn't have, He's got a
- 31:28little bit better of an arm than Daniel Jones, but this is a guy
- 31:30that can make the throws on the run and he can use his legs.
- 31:34He's a lot faster than he looks. He does look a little doofy.
- 31:37He's a pretty boy on the football field.
- 31:39But when he sees the field and he understands how to find the
- 31:42lanes, he he just runs right to him and he's very good at it.
- 31:47I wouldn't say Daniel Jones. I would actually give him higher
- 31:50praise. You see, because you ain't
- 31:52Daniel would say you ain't Daniel.
- 31:54Jones that's fine. Wow, I I'm going to say he's a
- 31:57faster Baker Mayfield in the with potential to be that guy.
- 32:00He's not Daniel Jones 65. This guy's not 65, right?
- 32:04But. He's 6/3 right.
- 32:05JJ Mccart, he's 63. But you know, Daniel Jones is,
- 32:08is remarkably tall and it's one of the he's this type of player
- 32:13that I wasn't sure the reason why I wasn't sure.
- 32:14I didn't say I didn't believe in him.
- 32:16I just said when he came out, there was a game his senior
- 32:19year, but I think he threw three times in the game, a top ten
- 32:22pick. And I know there was weather in
- 32:24that game, but that's not what happens, right?
- 32:26And the thing that I think is great about him is his
- 32:29leadership abilities. I wasn't sure that he could
- 32:31throw it in the NFL level like he is right now, but that's his
- 32:34coach too. And having a year off to sit,
- 32:36you said it earlier, having that like, like red shirt year was
- 32:40probably the best thing that could have happened to him.
- 32:43Now that he has that experience of doing the the the board work
- 32:47of learning the NFL game, you know, at a higher level and not
- 32:50have to put anything at risk. You saw him be a little nervous
- 32:52early. And then when it got to winning
- 32:55time, this is a guy who knows how to win and this is a guy who
- 32:58can lead A-Team. Justin Jefferson, every single
- 33:01player on that team going nuts for this guy, They have his back
- 33:05already. It was his first game.
- 33:07Daniel Jones never had the team's back like that.
- 33:09Only beginning in the beginning, that's a Baker Mayfield quality
- 33:12in the big in the beginning, the giant fans and the giant players
- 33:15were behind Daniel Jones. The one game he had the four
- 33:18touchdowns. I remember, I remember the big
- 33:20the big game, the game that game that really stuck out to me and
- 33:24why people were making fun of Daniel Jones is when he was
- 33:26running for a touchdown and he tripped on his own feet.
- 33:29I, I think that's the game that. Really has a blade of grass.
- 33:31Yeah, when he tripped on his own feet, when he had the whole the
- 33:34whole field to run into a touchdown, he tripped on his own
- 33:37feet. And a lot of Giant fans hate
- 33:39Daniel Jones because he couldn't close out certain games because
- 33:43the Giants never gave him an offensive line.
- 33:45And and if you look at JJ McCarthy, he has an offensive
- 33:47line. He's got weapons, he's got a
- 33:49good running game. Aaron Jones when healthy is he's
- 33:52really, really good. And he can catch the ball in the
- 33:55backfield as well as any running back or even some of the slot
- 33:59wide receivers in the league. He's very fast.
- 34:01He could definitely hit that second, second gear.
- 34:04So I I think also when you have Justin Jefferson to me when
- 34:08healthy, he's just there's nobody better than him right now
- 34:11in the league except maybe Brian Thomas, which I'm always giving
- 34:14him. Oh, come on, You know, there's a
- 34:16couple of guys I like Brian Thomas.
- 34:17But dude, tell me a game that Brian Thomas since he's come
- 34:21into league ever played bad in? I mean, seriously, you go to
- 34:24Jamar Chase. There are games that Jamar Chase
- 34:27doesn't show up in Hagans. Hey, you name him.
- 34:29You're preaching to the choir. He carried me to the fantasy
- 34:31finals last year. Brian Thomas was one of the best
- 34:34pick I made him and Bucky Irving.
- 34:35I'm just telling you, Brian Thomas is a guy that in every
- 34:38single game, he's important to the offense and that's when you
- 34:42that's when you spot out and you know that this guy's going to be
- 34:45a star. Same thing with Justin Jefferson
- 34:47ever since he took over with Minnesota and Minnesota trade in
- 34:51for who? Speedy.
- 34:52Who do they trade him? Stephon Diggs.
- 34:53Stephon Diggs, who's right now playing for the New England
- 34:57Patriots, who, by the way, had a no show on Sunday.
- 35:01All right, I'm just speaking the truth here.
- 35:03When Stefon Diggs went to Buffalo and he played well in
- 35:06Buffalo but never won anything, when they made that move and
- 35:09they brought in Justin Jefferson, use that pick to get
- 35:11Justin Jefferson. You got one of the more elite
- 35:15style of players that not only can dance on a football field,
- 35:19that can make every single catch and do things and make things so
- 35:22much easier for the quarterback. I asked Kirk Cousins.
- 35:25I asked the quarterbacks that they brought in after Kirk
- 35:27Cousins went down. There were quarterbacks you
- 35:29never even heard of that took over after Kirk Cousins.
- 35:32Tori is ace and I'm sorry, isn't it ACL?
- 35:35Yeah. ACL, I believe and.
- 35:36Achilles when he when he tore his Achilles, they brought in
- 35:41quarterbacks that probably wouldn't have started on any
- 35:43other team. As a matter of fact, there was a
- 35:45quarterback eventually I got traded to Arizona or somewhere
- 35:48else because they were competing for to make the playoffs.
- 35:51So I, I just think that what you see right now with a JJ McCarthy
- 35:57is a young kid that's only going to get better.
- 35:59I'm not saying he's Daniel Jones.
- 36:01I'm saying that the way his ability to to move outside of
- 36:06the pocket and he's a lot faster than he looks.
- 36:08He's he's not a pretty boy. He's not a guy that can't do
- 36:11things on a football field that can make him a star.
- 36:14You saw what he could do in a fourth quarter and that's what
- 36:17you want to see. If a guy could show up in a
- 36:19fourth quarter, if he's playing bad the whole game and win a
- 36:21football game for you, that says something as a championship
- 36:25quarterback and a quarterback that's one before in college.
- 36:28Yeah. And that's the thing that you
- 36:29don't really see during the draft process because you're not
- 36:32looking, you're not interacting with these guys like the like
- 36:34the GM's and the agents and stuff like that.
- 36:36Are is that kind of mentality and fish?
- 36:38What you were describing too is something that I was a little
- 36:40skeptical of too with the intermediate throws with JJ
- 36:42McCarthy, stuff like that. I agree with you.
- 36:44Errol throwing on the run I always thought was a strong suit
- 36:46for him in Michigan. I did think they should utilize
- 36:48that kind of thing more. But some of those intermediate
- 36:50throws, just because he didn't have to do them at Michigan
- 36:52because they were just a ground and pound type offense.
- 36:54Maybe you're just seeing, OK, he can actually do that kind of
- 36:57thing in this type of scheme with those types of wide
- 36:58receivers and make that kind of thing work for a guy that's also
- 37:01very smart too. I always said McCarthy was a
- 37:03smart quarterback. I he wasn't reckless like you
- 37:05saw some of these other quarterbacks try to be at
- 37:07Michigan in the past, too. He's a Jim Harbaugh quarterback.
- 37:10Andrew Luck. You know who that is?
- 37:12Another Jim Harbaugh quarterback.
- 37:14Our Director of Player Personnel I.
- 37:15Think over there at Stanford. Yes, he is.
- 37:17I actually saw a documentary on YouTube today about him.
- 37:20It's a sensational story, by the way.
- 37:22It's really, it's really good. Yeah, he's he.
- 37:24Looks like he's 50, by the way. One of the.
- 37:27Started captain Andrew Luck is a top five Twitter account Andrew.
- 37:31Luck has a master and a doctorate.
- 37:32That's how smart Andrew Luck is. He is intelligent, big, strong
- 37:37and and had a lot left to play NFL football.
- 37:40He just didn't want to have any of the brain trauma and he
- 37:42wanted to spend time with his family and enjoy the rest of his
- 37:44life. I I love Andrew Luck because
- 37:47Andrew Luck stood for something. When you look at guys and
- 37:50athletes that want to step away from the game because they want
- 37:53to look, look forward to their future.
- 37:55He didn't look towards the game and say, I can't live without
- 37:58the game. The game went past him and he
- 38:00said, you know what? I did what I wanted to do in the
- 38:02eight or nine years I was there. Now I want to move on with my
- 38:05career and do more things for me and my family.
- 38:07And that's what I love about Andrew Luck.
- 38:09That's using your brain. JJ McCarthy, another Jim
- 38:12Harbaugh guy. Why everybody thinks JJ McCarthy
- 38:15could be successful in the NFL is because of this brain over
- 38:19Braun. And that, ladies and gentlemen,
- 38:22is what's going to make JJ McCarthy very unique, especially
- 38:25with O'Connell, who's a very good X is an O's type of guy.
- 38:29And you see the opposite kind of thing with Caleb Williams now I
- 38:31I give him the benefit of the dead out Caleb Williams still
- 38:34because I think I was saying that a lot of these newer
- 38:36offensive skill players all at once kind of being down hurt him
- 38:40I think too. And I think again, learning a
- 38:42very complicated offense like Ben Johnson that was very
- 38:44different than what he's played with in years past could be a
- 38:47little different. Lincoln Riley is very much the
- 38:49opposite of Ben Johnson if you look at the way they play
- 38:52offense. And Lincoln Riley, obviously
- 38:54both at Oklahoma and USC use a lot of those 3 receiver sets.
- 38:57And I think you you see that kind of thing different now in
- 39:00in the NFL. Lincoln knows how to develop
- 39:01quarterbacks. So of course, if if Caleb
- 39:04Williams settles down and stops, open it, stop opening his mouth
- 39:07and just plays the game and plays with his abilities and
- 39:11stop using the the way he reacts to things on and off the field
- 39:16from players and other people, media guys talking about him.
- 39:19Caleb Williams is going to be a star in this league.
- 39:21He's too talented not to be. But the problem with him is he
- 39:24lets the media get to him and he lets his coaches and players get
- 39:28to him. And that reminds me of Russell
- 39:30Wilson, a guy that has become a journeyman, won a Super Bowl
- 39:34champion, and all of a sudden who people, including I, I don't
- 39:37know if it's Fish, somebody told me or believes that he's a Hall
- 39:40of Famer. I don't.
- 39:41Yeah, it was fish a few weeks. Ago, I don't think he's a Hall
- 39:43of Famer, Russell Russell Wilson, I don't think.
- 39:45He said borderline. I said borderline.
- 39:47He's a guy. If he could play for another
- 39:49three years and put up adequate numbers, it's not happening.
- 39:53You're going to have to have a conversation about him you have.
- 39:56To He was great on Sunday by the way, 2 thumbs up for you Giant
- 39:59fans. Don't.
- 40:00Make me talk about this yet. We'll get there all.
- 40:02Those are great 2 yard passes to Wandell Robinson.
- 40:05Fandell Robinson, our second round pick who's like 5 foot 5
- 40:09and like the shortest arms in the league.
- 40:13I remember that. I was like, why are you drafting
- 40:15a fifth round prospect? Like, by far.
- 40:17Like seriously, look, he was good at Kentucky.
- 40:22JJ McCarthy. He was good in Nebraska to
- 40:25relax. JJ JJ McCarthy, Huskers only
- 40:30rear listen to this dating back to high school, 67 and three in
- 40:36his career as a starting quarterback.
- 40:40All losses in high school. He didn't lose a game as the
- 40:42starting quarterback of Michigan.
- 40:45Think about that for a second. Regular season.
- 40:48Right, that is a winner and I I say this a bunch and you know,
- 40:54like obviously different levels it means different things are
- 40:57stacked differently in high school, especially in college.
- 41:00NFL is a whole different beast. But if he's going to play like
- 41:02this in the fourth quarter and have his team behind him and be
- 41:05a leader of men, which is what you see from Harbaugh guys
- 41:09Andrew Luck, a leader of men. He's the AD of Stanford at
- 41:12prestigious institute. He's not even 40 yet.
- 41:16That guy is the going places. I bet you end up hearing him
- 41:19running for office 1 day. That's the only 35.
- 41:23He's 35. He's my little brother's age,
- 41:25that is. No, We have enough athletes
- 41:28running for office. Mark Teixeira's running for, I
- 41:30think, some political office right now, Senator.
- 41:33I'm honestly though his demeanor and the type of person Texas he
- 41:37would be really, really good at. It I'm sure.
- 41:39I bet, I bet he'd be good at it. I I just like, I just think that
- 41:43this guy's going like even greater places than he is now.
- 41:47And I think a lot of that comes from how you're raised.
- 41:49Obviously his family historic, you know, the Luck family in
- 41:52college, Oliver Luck, but horrible.
- 41:55Everyone that's around that guy wins.
- 41:57Has he ever? When was the last time he lost?
- 41:59He didn't have double digit wins in professional football.
- 42:02His last year with the 49ers, it's also.
- 42:04One season when everything fell. It's the Harbaugh family.
- 42:07John Harbaugh has been very successful.
- 42:09Their father was very successful over there in Michigan.
- 42:12And now Jim. I think Jim is the best one out
- 42:15of all of them. I I think Jim is so smart.
- 42:17And as an NFL coach, I always said that Jim Harbaugh, if he
- 42:21stayed over there with San Francisco, he would have won a
- 42:23Super Bowl with San Francisco. He walked away from San
- 42:25Francisco because he wanted to win a national championship for
- 42:28his alma mater. That's the only reason why he he
- 42:31left San Francisco, because he believed in Kaepernick.
- 42:34And by the way, if, if he was still there, Kaepernick with all
- 42:39the stuff that was going on, he would have found a way to keep
- 42:41Colin Kaepernick on that team. I do believe that.
- 42:44I absolutely. Believe that was that Chip Kelly
- 42:46who couldn't handle that his one year with the 49ers.
- 42:48I'm just I'm just saying if if Jim Harbaugh was still there, he
- 42:52would have figured out how to keep Colin Kaepernick still on
- 42:56the San Francisco 49ers and maybe Colin Kaepernick still has
- 42:59a career right now in the NFL. I'm not just saying Jim really
- 43:03believes in Colin Kaepernick. He was another guy that kind of
- 43:07the style of type of quarterback that he looks for a mobile
- 43:10quarterback that throws on the run and can do the things that
- 43:13you expect a quarterback to do. See the field, may use the field
- 43:17and use the players around him. And that's what JJ McCarthy is
- 43:20Speaking of stories. This is a mammoth one.
- 43:23The Athletic Britt Giroli and Alex Andrea off today says that
- 43:29at least 8 Detroit Tiger employees, including four vice
- 43:32presidents, have been accused of misconduct towards women since
- 43:382023. Seven of the eight men were
- 43:41accused of mistreating women that work for the Ilitch Sports
- 43:47and Entertainment, which our which own the Tigers, Red Wings
- 43:51and other entertainment companies. 6 of the 8 men either
- 43:55stepped down or were fired, with two remaining in power within
- 44:00the organization. Countless reports of sexual
- 44:02advances against women, as well as some from age-related
- 44:07discrimination and racial discrimination are documented
- 44:11from some of 45 sources. According to the Athletic 1 male
- 44:16employee says that the dysfunction is in these guys
- 44:21culture which are with a bunch of guys thinking that they can
- 44:27do whatever they want and get away with it, making it a place
- 44:31where women shouldn't feel safe. Reports say that Sam Menzen, a
- 44:363434 year old assistant general manager, stepped down from the
- 44:41team after sending unsolicited photos to multiple women who
- 44:47worked for the team bed. Fiddleman, who refers the ML to
- 44:52MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred as his uncle, was promoted to vice
- 44:57president after an investigation lasting less than a week.
- 45:02Fiddleman was accused of screaming at women, retaliation,
- 45:08harassment and basically bullying female employees,
- 45:11Senior Vice President of Communications Ron Colangelo
- 45:15said in a defense in defense of Fiddleman.
- 45:19The Athletic may have talked to the 10 or 12 people where where
- 45:26who were disgruntled. That and that's unfortunate.
- 45:31Former broadcasters Cameron Maybin and Craig Monroe were
- 45:34also let go. Maybin women was fired for
- 45:37creepy comments towards women and Monroe being charged with
- 45:42sexual abuse of a minor. The article ended with a current
- 45:47employees comment. We have team meetings and they
- 45:51celebrate like everything is going great.
- 45:54Yeah, the team is playing well, but let's be real.
- 45:59Well, let let let's get let's get into this story because it's
- 46:02a story that is only going to have more legs to it.
- 46:05This is not over. And I'm sure the investigation
- 46:08is going to find a lot more deeper things in this story.
- 46:12The Detroit Tigers are an organization that's been up and
- 46:14down. How many GM's over the last
- 46:17couple of years have taken over this team in this organization?
- 46:19How much money has been brought or spent in this organization?
- 46:24We've seen so many great players come out from this organization.
- 46:28Justin Verlander being one of one of them.
- 46:30Miguel Cabrera. How about Jabba Chamberlain
- 46:32being another? There are a lot of great players
- 46:35that have been out, in and out of this organization.
- 46:37Chairs are being another one as well.
- 46:39You look at organizations over the years and I'm I'm not saying
- 46:41Detroit's a bad place. I'm not.
- 46:45But if you remember here in New York, there was a guy that
- 46:48worked for the New York Knicks who played for the Detroit
- 46:52Pistons, that took over as president and GM of the New York
- 46:57Knicks, and that is Isaiah Thomas.
- 46:59Do we remember that story? I remember that story very, very
- 47:03much. And Isaiah Thomas had a problem
- 47:05with a bunch of women where there was sexual advancements
- 47:09with these women upstairs, which eventually caused him to lose
- 47:13his job. And we all know James Dolan
- 47:16loved Isaiah Thomas, loved him, but he had to step in and fire
- 47:20him. Even though eventually Isaiah
- 47:23Thomas took over the liberty and, and, and I think took over
- 47:28and, and partially owned the liberty after that.
- 47:30But nevertheless, when you look at stories like this and the
- 47:34discrimination of women, women right now are important not only
- 47:39in sports but in politics and the world.
- 47:43And maybe 20 years ago women were not looked at as an
- 47:46important figures to organizations.
- 47:49But now women are very important, especially the way
- 47:52the world is starting to drive and give women opportunities to
- 47:56move up in corporations, companies and sports teams.
- 48:01When women look good, the men, the despicable men from these
- 48:07organizations, they're not happy men, not happy married men.
- 48:12They're doing stupid things. They're going behind their wives
- 48:16backs to to disgrunt these women to solicit these women and hurt
- 48:23these women in some kind of way because they think they have
- 48:25more power because in America, the men always had the power.
- 48:31Now women are starting to get the opportunity to have some
- 48:34kind of power. And to me right now with Rob
- 48:38Manfred in the way Rob Manfred is running the major leagues and
- 48:42the MLB, it bothers me because not only is he changing rules,
- 48:47he's getting guys or people that claim are his nephew jobs,
- 48:54opportunities that they shouldn't get.
- 48:57This guy who probably has no background in sports, has no
- 49:01background in management or any of that magnitude.
- 49:04This guy gets a job, eventually a vice president job with one of
- 49:08the big Major League teams, one of the bigger organizations of
- 49:11professional baseball history. Detroit's been around for almost
- 49:15100 years. Think about that.
- 49:17And this guy who I've never even heard of, by the way, I, I've
- 49:21never heard of Ben Fiddleman. All right, never fiddle on the
- 49:25roof. I've heard that.
- 49:26I've I've heard he likes to fiddle with himself.
- 49:28But when you hear the in in the investigation of women and and
- 49:33and harassment, this to me bothers me.
- 49:36We've we talked about the Mara family.
- 49:38Mara has been very well respected around the league for
- 49:41many, many years. His father and then him, John
- 49:45and and Tish and the Rooney family, always very well
- 49:49respected. And now all these things and all
- 49:51these stories coming out with, you know, African American
- 49:55coaches, the Rooney Rule, as we all know with African American
- 49:59coaches. And then Mara not controlling
- 50:02certain players on his team with sexual harassment or putting
- 50:05their hands on their lives and, and leaving it alone and
- 50:08brushing onto the rug. This is to me, when you look at
- 50:12this and you look at professional sports teams that
- 50:14are very well respected. And I'm not saying Detroit is a
- 50:17very well respected organization, but it's a known
- 50:20organization that has been around for a long, long time.
- 50:23It would bother me to know that you have executives and I'm not
- 50:28talking about one or two or three.
- 50:31You're talking about 10-12 executives on the panel of these
- 50:36organizations sexually, literally abusing and harassing
- 50:39women. Why would I want to go work
- 50:42there if I was a woman? Why I got to walk over.
- 50:47I got to walk around the offices and worry about a man grabbing
- 50:49my ass, going and waiting for me to come out of the bathroom so I
- 50:54can make an advancement on them. To me, that would be scary if it
- 50:59was my wife, my girlfriend, if my girlfriend was working for
- 51:03Detroit, she went to school for NYU.
- 51:06She she went to school for journalism.
- 51:08If she was writing for Detroit and hanging out over there in
- 51:10Detroit and somebody was advancing on her, what do you
- 51:13think I would do to the man that was trying to advance her and
- 51:16make her feel uncomfortable when she doesn't want to go to work?
- 51:19What do you think I would do to that guy?
- 51:22I'd break his neck. To me, it's uncomfortable to
- 51:26think about why women were never allowed to work in sports and
- 51:31now women have an opportunity as well as they should to be
- 51:34considered general managers. As we all know, Miami had one
- 51:39ING over there in Miami. We are now starting to see that
- 51:43we're going to have women managers, women coaches in the
- 51:45NBA in the future. It's going to happen.
- 51:49And now you're looking at the WNBA with Caitlin Clark changing
- 51:53the sports world, one of the more popular players right now
- 51:56in professional sports. Women deserve an opportunity to
- 52:01be respected just like men. And when you have men like this,
- 52:03disgusted, disgusting and, and, and despicable men like this and
- 52:08including Cameron Mabin. OK.
- 52:11Now we reached out to Cameron Mabin years and years ago and we
- 52:15wanted him to come on the show and he started following us and
- 52:20it never happened. He started working for the New
- 52:23York Yankees as a broadcaster and then eventually moved to
- 52:26Detroit and started working for them.
- 52:28And when you hear a story like this, I don't know Craig Monroe
- 52:30in A Hole in the Wall, but I know Cameron Maybin.
- 52:33Cameron Maybin, if these stories are true, is a despicable man
- 52:38and doesn't deserve another job in professional sports.
- 52:40Again, this is a guy that looked at himself as some kind of
- 52:45specific superstar player. Cameron Maybin was a washed up
- 52:48baseball player that played what, 6-7 years in the majors,
- 52:52was a backup player the Yankees traded for him for one year he
- 52:56did nothing for the New York Yankees and he was a journeyman.
- 53:00And then finally teams give him opportunity to be a broadcaster
- 53:04and work with the executives and work with the organization and
- 53:08you hear the stories that he is looking and and and making
- 53:12passes on women. Despicable.
- 53:15And why isn't Detroit? Why did this story finally come
- 53:19out? This has been going on for what,
- 53:21for 2-3 years now? It's been going on all this
- 53:24time. And then finally the story comes
- 53:26out. Who's brushing it under the rug?
- 53:28Is it Rob Manfred, a man freed, as Jabba calls him, who's
- 53:33brushing the story under the rug?
- 53:35Detroit is one of the best teams right now in the American
- 53:38League, one of the best teams in baseball, and it's run by a
- 53:41bunch of despicable, disgusting human beings.
- 53:47Very good, very well said. As disgusting as it gets for you
- 53:52this level. And I knew there was some
- 53:53shadiness going on with the Ilitch family with the Red Wings
- 53:55in the past too. Like you're seeing that.
- 53:58You saw that I think in 2018 and 2019 too.
- 54:00I don't know if it was directly like a sexism type thing, but
- 54:04there was stuff going on behind the scenes.
- 54:06That's why Eiserman eventually got hired in that front office
- 54:09as well. And now you're seeing with the
- 54:10Tigers too, with their broadcasters, with guys that are
- 54:13younger too. Like this is behavior that we
- 54:15took shots of the Mets for, for all their GM's and Mickey
- 54:17Callaway doing all those gross things in the past.
- 54:20And now all of a sudden you're seeing it here with a 34 year
- 54:22old rising future GM, that you're seeing the assistant GM,
- 54:26like the article was saying, that looked like it was going to
- 54:28be one of the faces of baseball. And he's doing all this crap.
- 54:30And it's just, it's disgusting on so many levels.
- 54:33And there's a lot of really good, like female employees
- 54:36there, broadcasters, assistant GM, like you're saying,
- 54:38assistant executives in that front office too, both with the
- 54:41Tigers and with the Red Wings. And I think you see this kind of
- 54:45thing just being a case of just so outdated concepts with all
- 54:49these ownerships. And it's not like I don't think
- 54:51Ilitch is really that much of an older owner compared to some of
- 54:53the other owners of baseball. But the, the, the outdated
- 54:56concept is just still there with how these employees are being
- 54:58treated. And you're right, Like, why
- 55:00would anybody want to go over there and want to broadcast or
- 55:05work for that team and a lot of the younger broadcasters?
- 55:08Andy Dirk's a former player that broadcast with him.
- 55:10Jabba, I think you played with him a little bit.
- 55:12Jason Benetti was one of my favorite play by play
- 55:13broadcasters were saying that these are not the values that I
- 55:16ever would have imagined would have been in this organization.
- 55:18And like they were like sickened by the whole thing that these
- 55:22older guys and even the one the men's and the one younger guy
- 55:25would be able to do that kind of thing.
- 55:26And Monroe and Maben Munroe was a former player.
- 55:28He's probably in his 40s now. And Maben, like Errol saying is
- 55:31I think 38 or so. Is it?
- 55:34And he really is. If these stories are true,
- 55:37Cameron Maybin should never get another job again.
- 55:39A professional. Sport, nobody involved in that.
- 55:42And Monroe, if he's really doing and this story is true, this guy
- 55:45should be thrown in jail and the key should be thrown away.
- 55:49If this is true. Is it, if this is true, that he
- 55:52was trying to hook up with a young young lady?
- 55:56Underage young lady? This guy should be thrown in
- 55:59jail and never be let out again. This is that's that's Wander
- 56:01Franco ask if he's doing that all that kind of thing, I think.
- 56:04Yeah, but he did it in the Dominican Republic.
- 56:06No I know that. I think he did it with multiple.
- 56:08United States. Yeah, it's still, that's the
- 56:11same level of just disturbing behavior that he was.
- 56:14I'm not saying it doesn't. I understand it's the same
- 56:16thing, but it's a different country.
- 56:17Understood. And you look at again, in cases
- 56:20of this possibly expanding, this is, you said 10 at that, right
- 56:23that we know of. And then this is the same
- 56:25company that also owns the Red Wings who says stuff isn't
- 56:27happening behind the scenes there that Ilitch and this
- 56:30ownership group had. I know, I think he passed away
- 56:32recently, but this new ownership group is covering up.
- 56:35And like you said, the league could be covering up too because
- 56:38both MLB and NHL, well, they're, I don't think they're as bad as
- 56:41the NFL when it comes to covering up domestic.
- 56:42Violence. Well, we know they like to cover
- 56:44up superstar players situations, as we all know.
- 56:48Yeah, there were two of them by the old O Tato.
- 56:51Yeah. And you.
- 56:52As Jabba says, there's no proof. And you saw the NHL.
- 56:56Recent proving. And then on the on the NHL side,
- 56:59you saw that cover up with those four players, including Carter
- 57:02Hart and a few others, that of when they were doing stuff them
- 57:05in the OHL and during World Juniors and stuff like that too.
- 57:08So they're going to brush that kind of thing under the rug much
- 57:10more than they should. And it's just a sickening
- 57:12situation. And I feel bad for really we
- 57:14still. Haven't heard the true story
- 57:15about the Chicago Blackhawks, right?
- 57:17I mean, that story really was brushed under the rug by the
- 57:21NHL. And then Quinnville gets another
- 57:23job, gets another two jobs. Oh yeah?
- 57:25How does that make sense? How does that guy get another
- 57:27job in the NHL after being the head coach when this kid was
- 57:32getting raped, was getting raped by a trainer in in their locker
- 57:36rooms and players knew about it too.
- 57:38And they were getting this and and the teams and all these
- 57:41players got opportunities after the fact when they left the
- 57:44Blackhawks. It's despicable.
- 57:46Why? And I'm telling you right now, I
- 57:48can't wait to to see a book come out about that and maybe a movie
- 57:52come out about that, a documentary, because that story
- 57:55I have I we still don't know the behind what really happened in
- 57:59that in those locker rooms in happened with the Chicago
- 58:02Blackhawks. The Blackhawks.
- 58:04Have we heard that story in the last past year?
- 58:06The story has not even been brought up ever.
- 58:09No, I think only really just vaguely since Gwendol.
- 58:11Dude, nobody has brought up that story.
- 58:13How could you not bring up a story when a player, a young kid
- 58:17who could have been great, was getting sexually abused by a
- 58:21trainer in the locker room? I don't even know if he was a
- 58:24trainer. He was like something else.
- 58:25He was a video coach. Video coach, I'm sorry.
- 58:28Yeah, I think there was. I think there was a trainer that
- 58:30was under investigation though for being involved in it
- 58:33somehow. And obviously Quinnville is the
- 58:34one that covered up like you. Saw they all covered.
- 58:36It up at Penn State. GM, the one of the player
- 58:40personnel, one of the managers of player personnel was
- 58:44obviously suspended in and fired.
- 58:46I I mean, everybody should have been fired from that
- 58:48organization and owners should have been, they should have
- 58:51been, they should have lost a ton of draft picks.
- 58:54They should have lost that they. Still get a reward with top
- 58:56three picks for whatever. Reason I I don't get it.
- 58:58I'm sorry and I, I, I went off topic over here, but job, I'm
- 59:02sorry. Oh, no, I mean, it's, yeah,
- 59:05it's, it's weird how long like some of this takes.
- 59:08Obviously there's the due diligence that you have to do
- 59:11because you can't you can't put it in in front of anything.
- 59:15But when it comes to women and kids, it's, it's a little
- 59:18different. I've seen it first hand where
- 59:21it's, it's affected people's careers when even if they were
- 59:24found innocent, but they were tied to, you know, something
- 59:28where you don't see it, you know, the other way around.
- 59:32And it's just, I mean, it sucks. There's there's no, there's no
- 59:34space for that. I don't care in baseball, in in
- 59:38any workplace for anybody to feel uncomfortable, men, women,
- 59:41whatever. I there's just, there's no,
- 59:44there's no space for that. There's, I mean, and I hope, you
- 59:47know, I know there's obviously instances where they're, you
- 59:51know, trying to protect their career, but obviously advances
- 59:55in, in whatever way, shape or form and they they just kind of
- 59:59push to the side. But I just, I think it's first
- 1:00:03of all, it's disrespectful. First of all, it's, it's asinine
- 1:00:06to even think that's OK, especially in the workplace.
- 1:00:10And it's just, I understand that some people will see it
- 1:00:14differently than other people will like.
- 1:00:16You know, it's it's I always find this interesting and I'd
- 1:00:19like to get your guys's take on it too.
- 1:00:20Like understand that there's women reporters, correct.
- 1:00:25But I get out of the shower after a game.
- 1:00:27That's my office. Like, I'm not trying to
- 1:00:31obviously do anything to make you feel uncomfortable.
- 1:00:34But if I'm drying off in my towel falls like I'm not doing
- 1:00:38it like, and it's just, I've always, always thought there's a
- 1:00:40very thin line because obviously you have to respect them because
- 1:00:44they're doing a job. But at the same time you're in
- 1:00:46my office and I've always, I've always thought it's like,
- 1:00:50obviously they're doing a job respecting and they're
- 1:00:53professional about it. I'm not saying they aren't, but
- 1:00:55it's just some people can misconstrue like certain things,
- 1:00:58which it's just, it's tough. But you can't put yourself in
- 1:01:02that situation first and foremost.
- 1:01:05And if it gets drug out forever and we, we've seen instances
- 1:01:09like this that are disgusting where they get drug out, drug
- 1:01:13out, drug out. And for these individuals that
- 1:01:15it happens to, that's just, it's more that they have to hold onto
- 1:01:18and mind you is going to solve the, the anguish and, and pain
- 1:01:23and whatever they have to deal with.
- 1:01:25No, it's not going to, it's not going to solve it.
- 1:01:27It's not going to magically make it disappear.
- 1:01:29But, you know, it's somebody standing up for what is right
- 1:01:33and figuring out like, really, what happened is it is it is
- 1:01:37this going to take two years where they got to fight their
- 1:01:38tails off for whatever happened for it to come out?
- 1:01:41Or does it get drawn out long enough to where it kind of like
- 1:01:45you said with the black, like you haven't heard about it.
- 1:01:48So it's like, you know, sight unseen, Right.
- 1:01:51And so if you haven't heard about it, it's like, oh, and
- 1:01:53then something comes up. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:01:55And it's, it's, it sucks because there's so much evil in this
- 1:02:01world as we've seen that, by the way, that is, that is great
- 1:02:08where you, you hope that the good can prevail in all of this
- 1:02:12with everything that goes on. And people would just wake up
- 1:02:17and be like, Hey, we know what's right and wrong.
- 1:02:20Like, have we all done stupid shit?
- 1:02:22Yes, we have. We've all been there for
- 1:02:24somebody to say they haven't. They're a bold faced liar.
- 1:02:27But there's certain, there's certain stupidity to to what
- 1:02:32level it is. And it's just, you know,
- 1:02:34hopefully they figure it out because it for those families
- 1:02:37and for those individuals, it sucks, men and women.
- 1:02:40Yeah, Java, I see your scenario too.
- 1:02:42Like, well, obviously there's a level of journalistic integrity
- 1:02:44that has to be like giving the players the privacy and stuff
- 1:02:47like that, like you were saying. And I think that comes to a
- 1:02:49point of just like mass journalism of just wanting to
- 1:02:52get the story out first instead of actually doing it right.
- 1:02:54And then, yeah, everyone's rushing just to be the first one
- 1:02:57to break in. And that's kind of things that
- 1:02:58happened too. And I think just think of this
- 1:03:00sense as you're looking at more of with sexually and again, I
- 1:03:03don't know the ages of the the people that were victimized.
- 1:03:05But Speedy, this has been going on for years and now finally,
- 1:03:08it's being it's breaking and people are starting to realize.
- 1:03:12What it's started started of like 2023, right?
- 1:03:1523 and now we're going into 2026.
- 1:03:17What do we have? Three more months and it's 2026.
- 1:03:19It goes best. Think about think about too.
- 1:03:22The fish brought up a great thing like how long did the
- 1:03:26gymnastics thing take? You know, like, well, and that's
- 1:03:29the crazy part because in I've always and played devil's
- 1:03:33advocate. And so if these do come out and
- 1:03:36they're whatever they are, if it comes, if it comes to find out
- 1:03:41that these aren't true, like accusations, why does nothing
- 1:03:45ever happened to that person? Like we've seen it one time
- 1:03:49happened and that was Duke lacrosse.
- 1:03:50But but Jabba, if you're looking at it, it's not just one woman.
- 1:03:54This is multiple. I'm not saying it.
- 1:03:56Is this is multiple but that's fine and I've seen it affect
- 1:04:00people's lives to where they were innocent but it was related
- 1:04:03to a woman and they never got an opportunity and they were proven
- 1:04:07innocent. But Jabba, again, so I'm sorry
- 1:04:11to cut you off if this happened 15 years ago, These guys don't
- 1:04:15get in trouble. They don't get in trouble
- 1:04:17because women aren't respected as much as they're respected now
- 1:04:20in the industry. And I believe women should have
- 1:04:23been respected 1520 years ago when they.
- 1:04:26Were but it shouldn't, it shouldn't be an industry thing.
- 1:04:28And I understand you're thinking industry this.
- 1:04:30This should be like it's not an industry thing.
- 1:04:32This is the this is life like this is you don't treat women
- 1:04:36like that. That is just the way it is.
- 1:04:38It doesn't, it doesn't so happen that it's just now everybody can
- 1:04:42catch stuff on camera or now it's hearsay and it's it you
- 1:04:46don't, it's now you're guilty until proven innocent.
- 1:04:49And sometimes that doesn't even matter.
- 1:04:52And we built this country an innocent until proven guilty,
- 1:04:55but now we protect until we actually know really what's
- 1:04:59going on. I've seen it happen in high
- 1:05:00school. I've seen it happen in college.
- 1:05:01I've seen it happen professionally where before this
- 1:05:04comes out, like, why even create this story until you know all
- 1:05:09the details, whether that takes two or three years, it prevents
- 1:05:13us from having this conversation because now if they say, Yep,
- 1:05:17it's been an ongoing investigation for four years, we
- 1:05:20found out exactly this is the document.
- 1:05:21These are the emails. This is a text message now we
- 1:05:23have nothing to say or speculate.
- 1:05:25But this is the media. The media does this all the
- 1:05:27time. They're trying to pick the
- 1:05:29story. I'm not I'm not saying I'm not
- 1:05:30saying they don't, but what I'm. Saying I got what you're saying,
- 1:05:33I understand they shouldn't be bringing.
- 1:05:34They're doing this. Until they investigate in
- 1:05:36deeper, I understand. And I hate it.
- 1:05:38I hate it for not only the the the victims or every, but
- 1:05:43everybody in the whole situation.
- 1:05:44That sucks, because whether it's true, whether it's not like this
- 1:05:48effects everybody, not only effects the people directly
- 1:05:52involved. Here's indirectly.
- 1:05:54Java, let me ask you a question. All right, so you're, I
- 1:05:56understand what you're saying and and they should.
- 1:05:58You're attacking a man's character without actually
- 1:06:01knowing what happened. But here's the thing.
- 1:06:02Why are they resigning? Why are they resigning if they
- 1:06:06thought they were innocent? Why are they getting fired if
- 1:06:09they thought they were innocent? If they if they're saying and
- 1:06:13they're standing up for the whole story behind it, then
- 1:06:16they'll say, you know, listen, I don't know anything about this.
- 1:06:18This is not true. This is untrue.
- 1:06:20Why are they resigning? I think, I think what was it,
- 1:06:23Fish? Five of them resigned.
- 1:06:26Six of them. Six of them resigned.
- 1:06:27Within a six. Months.
- 1:06:28So think about that. If you're resigning, you're
- 1:06:31guilty. That's the way I look at it.
- 1:06:33I wouldn't resign. I'm not resigning.
- 1:06:35If I feel that I'm not guilty, prove it.
- 1:06:38Prove that I'm not guilty. I prove that I'm guilty.
- 1:06:41That's what I'm going to say. Guilty until proven.
- 1:06:44So I, I don't, you don't have anything because I know for a
- 1:06:47fact I didn't do anything. So that to me that tells me
- 1:06:51they're guilty. I understand what you're saying.
- 1:06:54Fire me and then I'm going to sue your ass.
- 1:06:56I'm going to sue you for everything you own.
- 1:06:58Look at look at John Gruden. Look at Jon Gruden went through
- 1:07:01Jon Gruden knows he did what he did sexual, you know, Yeah, I
- 1:07:05mean, not sexually racism, the racism text messages and emails
- 1:07:09that he was posting. But it was told to him that that
- 1:07:12wouldn't come out. Why was his name only brought
- 1:07:14out when there were eighty other people on that emails, on those
- 1:07:17emails? But he brought was brought out.
- 1:07:20And that's why he won the case. Even though we believe he was
- 1:07:22guilty. That hurt him.
- 1:07:24He's never going to get a coaching job.
- 1:07:26Oh, maybe he will. But in the future we'll see if
- 1:07:28it gets brushed under the rug. But nevertheless, everybody else
- 1:07:31was racism, racist and and said what they felt about the whole
- 1:07:34situation. But he was the one that got
- 1:07:36burnt. He was the one that lost his
- 1:07:38job. He is the one that right now
- 1:07:40doesn't have a job with ESPN, CBS or any of those
- 1:07:43organizations or NFL organizations.
- 1:07:45So he got screwed. He's doing he's doing just fine.
- 1:07:48But I, I, I know he just won a lot of money, but I, I'm just.
- 1:07:51Saying, well, that too, but he he's still getting paid
- 1:07:53handsomely by none of those people.
- 1:07:55No, I I got it and I understand, but wouldn't you want to be a
- 1:07:58coach in the NFL? You loved it and John Gronen
- 1:08:01always said that you want he's a lifer.
- 1:08:03He wants to die being a head coach in the NFL or college
- 1:08:06football. He got interviewed for a couple
- 1:08:08college football teams and they didn't hire him.
- 1:08:10He was probably the easy hire and he didn't get hired.
- 1:08:14Manfred is involved in this story because the guy that has
- 1:08:19not stepped down is is a guy who refers to Manfred as his uncle
- 1:08:25that got him this job when he was 21 years old with the
- 1:08:28Detroit Tigers. This fiddleman.
- 1:08:30Well, he's probably fiddle with his.
- 1:08:32Own steps. Hopefully it's just his own and
- 1:08:33someone, not someone else's. These aren't just females coming
- 1:08:36forward. It's terrible to all the people
- 1:08:38around him, Men reported. Like dozens of men were involved
- 1:08:42in the 45 people that came out against these people.
- 1:08:46And Fiddleman was the one that had the most people against
- 1:08:48them. And that's the one that's
- 1:08:50connected to Manfred. I think there's a little bit of
- 1:08:53smoke. Rob Manford, he's going, he
- 1:08:57needs to speak. Hey, listen, Adam Silver today
- 1:09:00spoke about Kawhi Leonard. I we're not going to talk about
- 1:09:03it today, but he came out finally to speak up about the
- 1:09:07whole Kawhi Leonard thing. Now, again, you want the
- 1:09:11commissioner to come out and speak for the organizations or
- 1:09:15the owners of those organizations because you want
- 1:09:19him to. He's he's working for those
- 1:09:21organizations. Rob Manford or Freed is working,
- 1:09:24working for the owner of the Detroit Tigers and he hired
- 1:09:28while his so-called nephew is working for those Detroit
- 1:09:32Tigers. And like Aaron was saying, Fish
- 1:09:35was saying he's he's saying that when it when there's smoke, it's
- 1:09:39going to cook baby. And that's what's going on.
- 1:09:42Rob Manfred or Manfred is not speaking up.
- 1:09:46He's hiding and he's letting this guy keep his job.
- 1:09:49How is this guy keeping his job? And other people are resigning
- 1:09:52and stepping down or getting fired.
- 1:09:54And the only reason why is is because, quote UN quote.
- 1:09:57His uncle is Rob Manford. So I I agree with fish.
- 1:10:00I think there there's got to be some kind of smoke behind this.
- 1:10:04And Rob Manford, how much time does he have left before he.
- 1:10:09Expires in 2028. So 2028.
- 1:10:11So we got to deal with Rob Manford for another three more
- 1:10:13years. We got to deal with this idiot
- 1:10:16for another three more years. I mean, that's scary to think
- 1:10:19about that. And I know a lot of people don't
- 1:10:21want to. And I, I don't know Rob Manfred
- 1:10:23in a hole in a wall. I don't know him personally.
- 1:10:24Maybe I'll like the guy. If I sat down and had a
- 1:10:27conversation with him, maybe me and him, we get along.
- 1:10:29We could be pals. I don't know.
- 1:10:31But what I'm hearing about him as a person that I'm I'm reading
- 1:10:36these stories, it's not good for baseball.
- 1:10:38It's not good when your commissioner is high getting
- 1:10:42guys that are 21 years old hired for an organization that has
- 1:10:46been a failing organization. When was the last time Detroit
- 1:10:49won a won a World Series 8484, a job that was on those teams?
- 1:10:56Justin Verlander, Scherzer, Miguel Cabrero, Hall of Famers
- 1:11:00were on those teams. They've been to World Series and
- 1:11:02never get over the hump and they're hiring this guy
- 1:11:04Fiddleman, who's never been a manager, has never worked with a
- 1:11:07baseball, a professional team, because his uncle is Rob
- 1:11:10Manfred. Come on, guys.
- 1:11:13If you're if you're, if you put two and two together, you can
- 1:11:18honestly understand. If you're playing chess, you
- 1:11:20would know that somebody's the queen and somebody's the pawn,
- 1:11:25and the pawn is fiddleman and the queen, which is the most
- 1:11:28important, you know, piece on the board is Rob Manfred.
- 1:11:34Think about. That's why.
- 1:11:35That's why it's about who you know, not what you know.
- 1:11:38And it's also a case of special treatment that he's giving this
- 1:11:41guy for whatever reason, just because, oh, he hired him at 21
- 1:11:44years old. No, this guy did gross things to
- 1:11:46women that should never have happened.
- 1:11:48Why is he all of a sudden keeping his job when six other
- 1:11:51guys resigned, 7 they took, they took accountability for it.
- 1:11:55Another guy got suspended and this guy gets to keep his job
- 1:11:57because he's just here to attach to Ron Manford, No.
- 1:12:01It would bother me. And again, if you're if you're a
- 1:12:04baseball fan and you're here and maybe you're a Detroit, Detroit
- 1:12:07Tiger fan and I love what Detroit's doing, they can win
- 1:12:09the World Series this year. Could you imagine this story
- 1:12:12coming out and Detroit goes all the way to the World Series and
- 1:12:14wins the World Series for the first time since 1984?
- 1:12:17How bad this will look for baseball if they come out and
- 1:12:21they win a World Series and this story even gets worse.
- 1:12:24I mean, think about it. That could be really bad for
- 1:12:26baseball, really bad for baseball.
- 1:12:29So it would be. How are they going to win with
- 1:12:33this story though? Like that's the thing that.
- 1:12:35They're going to the playoffs right now.
- 1:12:36They're. A playoffs, right?
- 1:12:37They're obviously a playoffs. How many?
- 1:12:39How many people think? How many people you think know
- 1:12:41about the story though? Really.
- 1:12:42Honestly. Well, I mean now that the New
- 1:12:45York Times, The Athletic published it.
- 1:12:47I, I know Brittany a little bit, all right?
- 1:12:50She's been on this show. Giroli has been on this show
- 1:12:52before and when she came on the show she was working for the
- 1:12:55Nationals and I went back and forth, back and forth with her
- 1:12:59about Scherzer. She told me when the Mets
- 1:13:01brought him in, he said this guy is must see.
- 1:13:04He's still a great pitcher. He's going to bring wins to the
- 1:13:07New York Mets. The guy never gets hurt.
- 1:13:10This guy is a great Samaritan, great teammate.
- 1:13:12And what happens when he goes to the Mets?
- 1:13:14He gets overpaid, he gets hurt, can't stay on the field.
- 1:13:18The pine tar story. He he's fighting with umpires,
- 1:13:22he's fighting with teammates. It didn't work.
- 1:13:24I and we reach out to Brittany, Brittany Giroli to come on the
- 1:13:28show again. And what did she do?
- 1:13:30Nothing. Nothing.
- 1:13:32She hid. She didn't want to come on the
- 1:13:34show. You know why she didn't want to
- 1:13:35come on the show? Because she knew that if she
- 1:13:37came on this show, I'm dropping a damn hammer on her because I
- 1:13:42know what happened. She attacked me.
- 1:13:44She told me that I was stupid to even call Max, Max Scherzer an
- 1:13:48overrated player at the time. He was overrated.
- 1:13:51He wasn't the same pitcher. And she, he, he got paid what?
- 1:13:55Like 43 million. 43,000,000 the highest contract in baseball
- 1:13:59history for a pitcher who was washed up at 3738 years old.
- 1:14:03And I said he's a washed up player, Brittany.
- 1:14:05You can't tell me that this guy is going to go to New York and
- 1:14:08pitch well. Oh, you don't know the family.
- 1:14:10He's a family man. And he's going to go out there
- 1:14:12and he's going to show the Met fans what winning winning is.
- 1:14:14He won a World Series. He was a big part of those World
- 1:14:17Series teams. And what did he do?
- 1:14:19He had the pine tar. He was bitching and moaning.
- 1:14:22He wasn't getting along with players in the dugout.
- 1:14:24Then they brought in Justin Verlander and Verlander who
- 1:14:28Jabba, you know, you're very good friends with.
- 1:14:30There were stories coming out that him and Verlander weren't
- 1:14:32getting along. I mean, think about that.
- 1:14:35Think about the stories. But no, no.
- 1:14:38Jeroli, where are you? Britt, come on the show.
- 1:14:41Come on the show and tell me that I was wrong about Max
- 1:14:44Scherzer. Just say yeah, he.
- 1:14:46Got her twice. She's great.
- 1:14:48I got to know her when she was with Baltimore.
- 1:14:50Yeah, so that's I'm not was the basis that she was working with
- 1:14:53the Orioles and now? Jabba.
- 1:14:54I'm not Jabba. I'm not saying I don't like her.
- 1:14:57I'm not saying. I could I could give 2 shits.
- 1:15:00If you like her, I know, I'm just saying.
- 1:15:02I'm still going to sleep well at night.
- 1:15:04I'm just saying I'm not, I'm not saying I don't like her, But if
- 1:15:07you're going to come out and you're going to attack me on the
- 1:15:09show and tell me I'm an idiot and I don't know what I'm
- 1:15:11talking about, and then when I made my points right and then
- 1:15:16you don't, hey, you know what? You don't want to come on the
- 1:15:18show. You don't want to speak about
- 1:15:19it. You're ducking and weaving it to
- 1:15:21me. That just tells me you're
- 1:15:23running from the truth. You're running from what you
- 1:15:25are. You're a reporter.
- 1:15:26Speak about it, argue about it, or even come on the show and
- 1:15:29say, Errol, you were right. Thank you.
- 1:15:30You know, you were right about it.
- 1:15:32And that's all I'm saying. I.
- 1:15:33Think you're an idiot and I still come on the show?
- 1:15:35Oh. Thank.
- 1:15:36You on a On a side note, leave it to the Nets to get a
- 1:15:39consistently durable pitcher hurt twice in that same season.
- 1:15:42Well, you know, stupid is a stupid, I mean.
- 1:15:44Up to that point he had been durable though.
- 1:15:46I know that's what I'm saying. Like leave it to come to the
- 1:15:48best to have two. He pitched well that year when
- 1:15:50he was healthy. I'm just.
- 1:15:51Saying I was right at the time I was.
- 1:15:53We'll. Fall off eventually for
- 1:15:56everybody you know. Does the wheels fall off?
- 1:15:58That's for sure. Anyways.
- 1:16:00Anyways, moving on, ladies and gentlemen, we call this the
- 1:16:02Deuce of the day. The deuce of the day you log not
- 1:16:06a log. I don't have a log but.
- 1:16:15You know all right ladies and gentlemen, my deuce of the day
- 1:16:17goes to the one and only Angel Reese.
- 1:16:21As the story gets bigger, you guys are going to love this post
- 1:16:25moves Candace Parker and Aaliyah Boston oh you guys are going to
- 1:16:29love this. So Candace Parker and Aaliyah
- 1:16:33Boston 2X NBAWNBA players came out and attacked Angel Reese.
- 1:16:38You have to protect your team and your organization, no matter
- 1:16:41how you feel, Parker said, adding There were so many bumpy
- 1:16:46rides with the sparks that I've had and I think the best advice
- 1:16:52I've ever received is keep things in house.
- 1:16:56You can yell, scream, cuss, do all of those things in between
- 1:17:02these walls, but you can't bring it out, The former two time
- 1:17:07WNBANVP and three time a champion said to me, Angel
- 1:17:12Reese, and by the way, Angel Reese recently was she wasn't
- 1:17:17allowed to play in the first half of the game and then she
- 1:17:22decided after the first half she wasn't going to be playing the
- 1:17:26second-half of the game. She decided to not come out with
- 1:17:28the team and sit in the locker room and not come out with the
- 1:17:32team and play the rest of the game.
- 1:17:34And it just shows you the type of person she is.
- 1:17:37This is a woman that's getting has a huge Reebok deal with
- 1:17:40Shaquille O'Neal and Allen Iverson.
- 1:17:41They trusted enough to put everything on her shoulders and
- 1:17:45and a girl that's very well respected, was very well
- 1:17:48respected in the WNBA. And then the stories come out
- 1:17:52even worse when she's throwing her own teammates under the bus.
- 1:17:56And now you have WXWNBA players, some of the most well respected
- 1:18:00ex WNBA players, coming out in Candace Park and Aliyah Boston
- 1:18:04and throwing you under the bus and saying you don't come out,
- 1:18:07you don't throw teammates under the bus, you keep it in house.
- 1:18:09It only tells me one thing. When is she going to get traded?
- 1:18:14Does any other team want Angel Reese after dealing with what
- 1:18:17she said about Caitlin Clark as she's thrown Caitlin Clark under
- 1:18:20the bus, she's thrown many different players including her
- 1:18:23own teammates under the bus. What does this spell for the
- 1:18:26WNBA? What does this spell for Angel
- 1:18:27Reese in the future as a WNBA player and only spells nothing
- 1:18:32but havoc for her? So my deuce of the day goes to
- 1:18:35Angel Reese and her stupidity on throwing her own teammates under
- 1:18:40the bus and not keeping it in house.
- 1:18:41So that would be the deuce of the day.
- 1:18:44It's getting worse, The stories are getting worse because she is
- 1:18:47becoming a conceited, egotistical maniac and she
- 1:18:51doesn't want to take responsibility for all the
- 1:18:53things that she is doing on and off the court.
- 1:18:56All right, when we come back, we got Fish's play of the Week.
- 1:18:59We got Speedy 6 Pack. We got Save Your Tears, We got a
- 1:19:02lot. And we also have our guest.
- 1:19:04And a little bit later, we have ESPNNFL Nations Giants reporter
- 1:19:08Jordan Ramen on as well. But first, the Fish.
- 1:19:14This is the Jabba and the mouth sportsman ass.
- 1:19:20All right guys, Aaron Fishman here with your sports minute.
- 1:19:23Got a few stories before we get. Into the stores this.
- 1:19:27Evening the Minnesota Wild her out in the wilderness with the
- 1:19:32rest of the NHL on Wednesday as a report emerged that superstar
- 1:19:35forward Karil Caprezov turned down an 8 year, $128 million
- 1:19:41deal which would have been the richest in hockey history.
- 1:19:44While GM Bill Guerin declined comments after talks fell
- 1:19:48through on Tuesday, Caprezov is in the last year of his five
- 1:19:51year, $45 million deal and could possibly become the biggest name
- 1:19:56traded in this year's trade deadline.
- 1:19:59And maybe the won't games last year due to injury would be a
- 1:20:06catastrophic loss for the Minnesota Wild in their future
- 1:20:11if he doesn't resign Garin, who's also the GM of Team USA
- 1:20:15Hockey all season. And we have Dolphins wide
- 1:20:20receiver Tyree Kill in the news again for.
- 1:20:24Not the right reasons again. Apparently.
- 1:20:27Hill's estranged wife alleged in court filings for the former
- 1:20:30couples divorce hearings that were obtained by TMZ of course,
- 1:20:33that he has committed 8 separate incidents of domestic violence
- 1:20:38against his soon to be ex-wife Kita Vaccaro.
- 1:20:42Hill's attorney is calling, part of a shakedown and an attempt to
- 1:20:49generate bad media coverage. Hill has been no stranger to
- 1:20:53trouble dating back to his college days when it was alleged
- 1:20:55that he committed assault and battery to his pregnant car.
- 1:20:59Old friends offenses leading to his arrest before week one of
- 1:21:02the 20/20/24 season. And a strange of a pair of
- 1:21:05strange incidents in 2023 when he slapped a Marina worker
- 1:21:09upside his head when asking Hill to simply follow the rules of
- 1:21:12the Marina and breaking a social media influencers leg and pick
- 1:21:16up football in his backyard trying to put press coverage on
- 1:21:19her. For Tyree Kim there has always
- 1:21:21been a lot of smoke but he has always ran so fast and no one
- 1:21:25ever saw the fire. Maybe after all these years,
- 1:21:27somebody finally will and put it out and give the cheetah a
- 1:21:30reality check. He could sort it.

- 1:24:22prolific serial killers of all time that nobody knows about.
- 1:24:25He's that Leatherface. Yes, well, that's what they
- 1:24:28called him Leatherface, but it's a great well, it's not a great
- 1:24:32story, but it's it's an interesting story.
- 1:24:35I I got a chance for years. I I study serial killers.
- 1:24:38It's something interesting to me.
- 1:24:39So Ed Ginn is one of those guys that people never heard of.
- 1:24:43I mean, you know Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy.

- 1:26:23you could figure it. Interesting.
- 1:26:25No way. Interesting.
- 1:26:27All right, ladies and gentlemen, we call this Fishes Play of the
- 1:26:31Week. Play to win the game.
- 1:26:34Hello, you play to win the game, fishes play of the wing wing.
- 1:26:41Goomba smack my ass. All right, guys, welcome to my
- 1:26:48Play of the Week. This is what we're going to do
- 1:26:50during the NFL season. We'll get Errol up here so you
- 1:26:53can literally be the peanut gallery hitting sound effects
- 1:26:56and hazing me while I'm doing this blowjob.
- 1:26:58Olivia. I've picking my favorite play
- 1:27:01that I saw not the best play necessarily of the week or the
- 1:27:05coolest catch, the coolest coaching play, the coolest X's
- 1:27:09and O's. And we're going to Errol's
- 1:27:11favorite coach in the NFL, Kyle Shanahan for to this week's.
- 1:27:16Suck. My ankle of the.
- 1:27:18Week so you may have seen this. This was during the game later
- 1:27:23in the game Purdy back empty sends them out or not empty but
- 1:27:28four receivers sends them out and all of a sudden why is Kyle
- 1:27:31use check uncovered down the sideline?
- 1:27:36How does that happen in the NFL? How can you get a guy that
- 1:27:41opened Kyle Shanahan? Well, here is vicious.
- 1:27:44Play of the wee snatch. Here's the first thing he does.
- 1:27:48If you take a look, he motions out the running back to the left
- 1:27:52to make them go into trips. You see, you got Kittle there at
- 1:27:54tight end or whoever was in a tight end at that point.
- 1:27:56So you got 3 receivers that way. If you're playing what Shanahan
- 1:28:00assumes they're playing, which is cover 4 on one side, cover
- 1:28:022:00 on the other side, I call it 42.
- 1:28:05This is. Kind of a 2.
- 1:28:05Over man, look over here on the other side, but you have a
- 1:28:10guarantee of what you're going to get so now.
- 1:28:13Shanahan has. Got them all thinking what they
- 1:28:16want going into the next thing where we get the next bit of
- 1:28:19information. Pre snap, you're going to see
- 1:28:23him go the other way with that motion.
- 1:28:25So this is going to be a traditional jet sweep motion to
- 1:28:28the receiver. He's coming back across so they
- 1:28:30bounce back down. But now Shanahan has him.
- 1:28:33He knows what he has on the side of the field he wants.
- 1:28:36He's got macho coverage or press man coverage on the wide
- 1:28:40receiver. And he's got.
- 1:28:42Over top coverage from the safety.
- 1:28:43Who's going to be playing deep and that flat guy is going to
- 1:28:47have to play Debo Samuel coming across.
- 1:28:49Watch what he does with Kyle. Use check on this next play to
- 1:28:54get him so open. It is unbelievably smart.
- 1:28:57If people were talking about this all over the Internet,
- 1:29:01What's in red? Says the word chip.
- 1:29:03He sends use check to chip the defensive end, hiding him from
- 1:29:07the linebackers. The linebackers have to take the
- 1:29:10vertical drop on the far side of the field.
- 1:29:13There are literally three people covering the outside receiver on
- 1:29:16the far side of the field, and now Shanahan has him
- 1:29:19outnumbered. He's got man coverage and he's
- 1:29:22going to just send that guy deep occupying another two guys and
- 1:29:26now one, the one flat guy is going to be on Debo Samuel,
- 1:29:29who's left for Kyle Use. Check the answer everybody.
- 1:29:33Nobody is left. For Kyle, use check.
- 1:29:37He's going to run right by him. You see the defenders, two guys
- 1:29:41on this guy, three defenders at the top doing nothing.
- 1:29:45This is how you get guys open. This is why you win Fishes play
- 1:29:51of the week and look at Brock Purdy holding the safety that
- 1:29:54safeties back. His turns to Kyle Youscheck.
- 1:29:57He's the only person that can cover him on this play.
- 1:30:00So what does it end up being? Wide open?
- 1:30:04Look how much your space he has. You don't get space like that in
- 1:30:08college, let alone the NFL unless it's a busted coverage.
- 1:30:11This wasn't a busted coverage. This was scheme, this was the
- 1:30:16play. Of the week.
- 1:30:18I don't care, Fish. The only the only question is I
- 1:30:24have is how did Devo Samuel get from the Commanders game to the
- 1:30:2749ers game? That's pretty impressive.
- 1:30:29Well, you know, different guy, but that's all good.
- 1:30:33I hope not. It was the Debo roll though,
- 1:30:38right? It looked like they were just
- 1:30:39using the Debo roll and Shanahan's smart man.
- 1:30:42That's why some guys, you don't see it.
- 1:30:44Maybe they're bad at other parts of coaching, but he was able to
- 1:30:47get a guy completely open in the NFL at a key point of the game.
- 1:30:52Ever going raw? Kyle Ustick is that much of A
- 1:30:57stud. He's the only fullback that
- 1:30:59could probably. Do I gave up the booty there?
- 1:31:01All right, ladies and gentlemen, we call this Tic Tac.
- 1:31:03No boom. Dick, Dick.
- 1:31:07Morris. Right in the butt.
- 1:31:10We get the prizes cheat because they're stolen, no?
- 1:31:13No. No, no, no, no, no.
- 1:31:20Want soda? Bitch will not adhere to that.
- 1:31:26Want soda's a bitch. I.
- 1:31:33Like that one soda one? Yeah, I'm sure you do.
- 1:31:36All right. Well.
- 1:31:36Since. Since Fish brought up the 49ers
- 1:31:39before, we'll actually start with that, but we're going to
- 1:31:41start it a little bit in a college football part of it.
- 1:31:43So Florida's obviously lost to USF.
- 1:31:46We were talking about that on Monday.
- 1:31:47And the last one that they lost to that was a Group of Five
- 1:31:50team, was a Georgia and Southern team.
- 1:31:52That had two. 49ers running backs that were on the 49ers
- 1:31:56first Super Bowl team. Name one of those guys.
- 1:32:00I'm sorry, repeat the question again so.
- 1:32:02The Georgia Southern team was the last team to beat Florida.
- 1:32:05They were an unranked opponent, Group of five opponent.
- 1:32:07They had two running backs that were actually on the 49ers,
- 1:32:10their first Super Bowl team that lost to the Chiefs.
- 1:32:12Name one of these running backs. Tevin Coleman.
- 1:32:15Nope, you play for Indiana. Gore I'm sorry, Speedy.
- 1:32:20I'm dealing with a lot of stuff. I.
- 1:32:21Was not Frank Gore. It's not Frank Gore, no.
- 1:32:23Being an idiot on that last segment, I actually do need you
- 1:32:26to tell me the question. So there were two running backs
- 1:32:30that were on the 49ers first Super Bowl appearance that lost
- 1:32:33to the Chiefs when Kyle Shanahan was there in 2019 that were on
- 1:32:36the Georgia Southern team that were the last team to beat
- 1:32:39Florida, a group of five team before USF did.
- 1:32:44So name one of those two running backs that were on that team.
- 1:32:46One of the two running backs on that team, that loss to the
- 1:32:51Chiefs. Yes, Tommy guessed Kevin Coleman
- 1:32:54was wrong. Errol guessed.
- 1:32:55Frank Gore, that was. Wrong.
- 1:32:57I forgot that Frank Gore didn't play for Georgia.
- 1:33:00No, yeah, he didn't play for them at.
- 1:33:03That point either. Oh, Tommy, can you make the
- 1:33:05music a little lower? There's no way I can figure it
- 1:33:07out. Bring Nathan.
- 1:33:11You're going to get me. Yeah.
- 1:33:12Why? What's Nathan doing?
- 1:33:13Nathan definitely knows the answer to this.
- 1:33:15Yeah, right. What was the question?
- 1:33:18So the question we probably. Interviewed him so breaking
- 1:33:22news. I need Brittany also there.
- 1:33:24Were two running backs from the 2013 Georgia Southern team that
- 1:33:28were on the 2019 Super Bowl team for the 49ers that lost the
- 1:33:30Chiefs the first time we're on that team.
- 1:33:33Two different running backs that were on that team.
- 1:33:35You just need to name one of them.
- 1:33:38On the 2019 team on. The 2019 49ers, yes.
- 1:33:44Yum Yum butt plug. Hold on, I love Lisa Ann.
- 1:33:57What is it, Droba? Who the heck I can't even think
- 1:34:08of? Brandon Jacobs, Brandon.
- 1:34:11Jacobs told the 2012 Forty. Niners 2012 Sorry, sorry 2019
- 1:34:16yeah, that's why I. Wasn't he a Saluki?
- 1:34:22I just realized you said to the 2019 I.
- 1:34:24Already know one of the running backs.
- 1:34:25I just, I just, I can't go anymore.
- 1:34:30I'll give you my, I'll give you my guest, Tommy all.
- 1:34:34Right. Oh, fish fishing.
- 1:34:35Give me his guest, OK? Yeah.
- 1:34:37So then I'm going to say Raheem Oster, no.
- 1:34:39No, no, it's a good guess. No, it's.
- 1:34:42A good guess, Tommy. I try.
- 1:34:44I try. That's right.
- 1:34:44They had Mostert and who was the other guy?
- 1:34:47It was most Goldman. That's.
- 1:34:48Why? I thought it was going to.
- 1:34:49Be. Coleman Oh, it's not going to
- 1:34:50be. Coleman was another guy that was
- 1:34:52on that team. Blow my back out because.
- 1:34:55But he didn't. Mainly 2019 running back to the.
- 1:34:58Niners. I know, I know.
- 1:34:59So one of the we're out, Speedy, let's move along.
- 1:35:00What do you got so? One of them was actually injured
- 1:35:02that season, but he got a big contract with Jerick McKinnon.
- 1:35:05And then the other one was a guy that was a future giant, Matt
- 1:35:08Breeda. I was going to say Breeda.
- 1:35:10Breeda I didn't know. That's a good one.
- 1:35:15Speedy. All right, Speedy, where we
- 1:35:17going? We're going to go to the middle.
- 1:35:20Damn, I thought I had it. All right, so we'll go to.
- 1:35:22We'll. Go to some baseball for the next
- 1:35:24one. So the Orioles broke up the
- 1:35:26Dodgers no no hitter in the 9th inning with two outs and then
- 1:35:30end up rallying to win the game. There's actually one player
- 1:35:34since since 2016 that it's broken up.
- 1:35:37No2, no hit bids in the 9th inning.
- 1:35:39He's a shortstop that currently plays.
- 1:35:40He did it once in 2016, once last year, and he's an active
- 1:35:44shortstop. Name this player.
- 1:35:47AL right now. AL right now, he was NL in 2016,
- 1:35:51I'll give you that. Corey Seeger.
- 1:36:00That's exactly what I was thinking.
- 1:36:01I was thinking Corey Seeger. Is that who was?
- 1:36:03Yeah. That's the first thing I popped
- 1:36:06into my head. I was going to say Texas
- 1:36:08Rangers. Who's the shortstop for the
- 1:36:09Texas? Rangers.
- 1:36:11Yeah, let's go. Is that in the Dodgers right?
- 1:36:14He was with the Dodgers. They were playing the Giants
- 1:36:17that time. As soon as he said he was, he's
- 1:36:20in, he used to be in the National League and I was in the
- 1:36:22American. The first thing I popped in my
- 1:36:23head was who's the shortstop? I I keep, I forgot and Amy said
- 1:36:27Corey Seeger. I was like, that's.
- 1:36:28And then last year, last year was actually against Valdez for
- 1:36:33early in the season against the Astros out of nowhere.
- 1:36:35Who? Was like my first dynasty player
- 1:36:37in my league. And I felt up on your face.
- 1:36:39Leagues that. That guy is awesome.
- 1:36:42Is that your cucumber or are you happy to see me?
- 1:36:45A fantasy team name that year was the Seger Bullet Club.
- 1:36:49There. You go there.
- 1:36:50We go, there we go. All right, let's move on to some
- 1:36:53A. Little is a grumpy old man.
- 1:36:55Old basketball here. So Carmelo Anthony recently
- 1:36:57inducted into the Hall of Fame. He had the freshman record
- 1:37:00averaging 20.1 points per game during their his title run with
- 1:37:03Syracuse. The only other freshman to
- 1:37:06average 20 points per game on a team that made the national
- 1:37:08championship game was what? Future NBA MVP?
- 1:37:11Damn. So freshman average 20.
- 1:37:19Yep, the average I believe 20.8. This was a team that made the
- 1:37:23national championship game. They did not win, but they made
- 1:37:26it and then he won an NB AM V pay.
- 1:37:33MVP. I'm trying to say I, it's I, I,
- 1:37:40it's off my lips. I'm I'm.
- 1:37:43All right, I'm probably wrong, but is it Chris Webber?
- 1:37:47Nope. Damn.
- 1:37:52Because they really had five, you know?
- 1:37:53Not still not still playing. I will verify that, but I don't
- 1:37:59think so. Won an MVP.
- 1:38:07I think I know who this is and I actually was wearing his
- 1:38:09sweatshirt on Monday. No, he did not play last season,
- 1:38:13so he's not. He's not.
- 1:38:16A. Retired Derrick Rose I was.
- 1:38:20Going to. Say Derrick.
- 1:38:22Rose. Nice.
- 1:38:24I was a huge key Rose fan. He was great.
- 1:38:27I love you. They're putting this number in
- 1:38:29the rafters this year too. Yeah, that's cool.
- 1:38:31I saw. Well.
- 1:38:32Deserves. I won.
- 1:38:33Where we going, man? Top left I like because we can
- 1:38:37put it right on Speedy's face. Right, I want to hit it.
- 1:38:42OK, so we'll. Go to top left.
- 1:38:44We'll go to some. Football, we'll go to some.
- 1:38:46Football here, yeah. No top, top left.
- 1:38:47Yeah, there we go. He wants us smothered right on
- 1:38:50my face and right near goody. Oh, and the blue blazer right in
- 1:38:54the vicinity. Yeah.
- 1:38:56By the way, Derrick Rose did not win the national championship.
- 1:38:58I said, yeah, you're saying runner up, I said once.
- 1:39:00I said do you? Remember what team?
- 1:39:02In Memphis, missed a couple of foul shots I remember in.
- 1:39:04Washington, Kansas. That was my first bracket I ever
- 1:39:06did. I had them that.
- 1:39:06Year breaking news a lot of hot ladies we.
- 1:39:10Blew that game. I remember that game.
- 1:39:12Yep. Alright, we'll go to some
- 1:39:13football now. So the Bills obviously won a 41
- 1:39:16to 40 thriller against the Ravens in week one.
- 1:39:18They actually had two games like that last year where both teams
- 1:39:21scored 40 points and they were both NFC teams they played
- 1:39:25against. Name both those teams.
- 1:39:29The Bills. 40. Points.
- 1:39:31So they both the Bills played them and they both teams scored
- 1:39:3540 points in both those games. They were both.
- 1:39:37I'm gonna say one of the teams are the Lions.
- 1:39:38Lions is one that that is correct.
- 1:39:40There was one other. Right.
- 1:39:43It's gonna, it's gonna be somebody like we're not gonna
- 1:39:45think of an NFC team. NFC team.
- 1:39:48So I think the way we do this is if you guess and you guess it
- 1:39:52right, you get to guess a second time.
- 1:39:54But if there's only one left, obviously only one guess.
- 1:39:57Tommy should be able to. Tommy should be able to go
- 1:39:59again, is all I'm saying. But not everyone else has one
- 1:40:03guess to guess. First, though, who could?
- 1:40:08Build all right so who else do they play so if they played the
- 1:40:10lions, that means they played the NFC north so it has to be an
- 1:40:14NFC north team by process elimination the bears suck all
- 1:40:18hell, so I'm going to say it was the Packers it's.
- 1:40:20Not the Packers. Vikings elimination.
- 1:40:23It's not the Vikings. Really so?
- 1:40:25Vikings. OK.
- 1:40:26So it's not the NFC North. Oh wow, I.
- 1:40:31Don't know. Isn't that how it works though?
- 1:40:32They play. Not with the games.
- 1:40:34Not since they added the extra game though.
- 1:40:36So there's one extra team in the division.
- 1:40:38Alliance where? That breaking news?
- 1:40:40Smell my ass. But I don't know what that
- 1:40:42division. Breaking news speedies you.
- 1:40:45Know it's not from the NFC North.
- 1:40:47No, that is true. Breaking news I have no.
- 1:40:50And then I'm going to throw this out there, Speedy.
- 1:40:52It wasn't the New York Giants. Patty kick?
- 1:40:56No, but the Giants could have easily beaten the Bills.
- 1:40:58That was that. Darren Waller maybe should have
- 1:41:00been catch game. My dog wants your Pussycat.
- 1:41:06When was the last time Commander 40?
- 1:41:08Points. Doesn't he look like?
- 1:41:10Yeah, probably. Was it the?
- 1:41:16There's barely any. Hair on it?
- 1:41:17Was it the Eagles? No, Irrelevant.
- 1:41:20No, it wouldn't have been the Eagles.
- 1:41:21Irrelevant. They.
- 1:41:22Scored 40 points. On who's still got a guess left?
- 1:41:27Jabba. And I'm out, I said.
- 1:41:31Commanders you. Said small commanders is not.
- 1:41:33No, it wasn't. All right, Nathan, you got you
- 1:41:36got the last guess. I never heard of the skin.
- 1:41:38Flu. No.
- 1:41:39I I guess you're ready. What did you?
- 1:41:41Say I said the Eagles. Oh, the Eagles, No.
- 1:41:43Oh, I think, I think refer to the Eagles for the Giants.
- 1:41:45My. Bad.
- 1:41:46No. It wasn't the was it the
- 1:41:47Buccaneers? Nope.
- 1:41:48OK, so who was it? I don't.
- 1:41:50Have anything all right? You get it.
- 1:41:52It was the Rams. Oh Rams.
- 1:41:55Oh. Rams, right?
- 1:41:57McVeigh. 99% of the world won two.
- 1:42:00The Rams won that. All right.
- 1:42:01Speed 42. All right, so I will go.
- 1:42:04Let's go bottom left. Potentially harmful.
- 1:42:09All right, there we go. Next question.
- 1:42:11All right, we'll go back to some baseball here.
- 1:42:12Who is the blood? Who?
- 1:42:14Kyle Shore, obviously hitting fifty home runs this season.
- 1:42:17He's one of the older players to do it.
- 1:42:19Who was the youngest player to do it?
- 1:42:20Who did it at 23 years old? What was the question?
- 1:42:23He did the youngest player to hit fifty home runs in a season
- 1:42:25who did it at 23 years old. A rod.
- 1:42:29Nope. He did have a bunch of them
- 1:42:31though. He had multiple fifty seasons,
- 1:42:32but he was not the. I'm going to guess yeah.
- 1:42:33What do? You got it's, it's one or it's
- 1:42:35there. It's one of two people.
- 1:42:37I'm going to name them. Ready.
- 1:42:39I'm going to take a guess. Yeah.
- 1:42:40Mark McGuire? Nope.
- 1:42:44Damn, McGuire. It's one of these two and I'm
- 1:42:46going to be pissed. Prince Fielder.
- 1:42:49Prince Fielder is correct. Very good.
- 1:42:52What? Was your other?
- 1:42:52What was your? My other one was Ryan Howard.
- 1:42:55Ryan Howard was pretty young too.
- 1:42:57I think he was third youngest clean themselves.
- 1:43:00Yeah. I think he was the 3rd youngest
- 1:43:02'cause it was his second year in the league, but I think he was
- 1:43:0424. Technically daily lives, so
- 1:43:07Prince was a little younger. Yeah, it was, it was.
- 1:43:10I knew it was one of those two. And I'm like almost went.
- 1:43:14Strategy. Look at this strategy you came
- 1:43:17up with. You mean you?
- 1:43:18Now we have a two way go on spin you pretty good Speedy, you got
- 1:43:22your work cut out for you. Keep it coming all.
- 1:43:25Right. So we'll go back about a
- 1:43:27bareback. We'll go back to basketball
- 1:43:29here. So Dwight Howard is credited
- 1:43:30with having the most dunks in NBA history.
- 1:43:32Recently also ducked. Into the Hall of Fame since
- 1:43:35dunks became a stat in 1996. Shaq is second on the list.
- 1:43:38Which player that it was currently active as of last
- 1:43:41season is third. Blake Griffin.
- 1:43:47Nope. Damn.
- 1:43:51In Dunks. In dunks since that since the
- 1:43:53stat was credited in 19. Russell Westbrook?
- 1:43:55Nope, I don't know. It's going to be a center that
- 1:43:59can't shoot and just dunks. Like Steven Adams?
- 1:44:06Nope. What do you think he jerks off
- 1:44:08with? What did you see?
- 1:44:12The new stat in basketball mean you.
- 1:44:14Yeah, well, yeah, it was brought in as a formal thing in 1996, so
- 1:44:18it wouldn't be like did. You stick a finger in his.
- 1:44:20Ass the last, the last thing you're saying.
- 1:44:22The guy just, he played last year.
- 1:44:25He's, I don't think he officially retired, but I think
- 1:44:26he's a free agent. But he's on that team right now.
- 1:44:28He is goofy. Is it Andre Drummond?
- 1:44:32Nope, he's a crybaby. Because he can't.
- 1:44:35He can't shoot at all. And I.
- 1:44:36Figured that's why I was. That's why I went to.
- 1:44:38Steven Adam, I was like. Oh.
- 1:44:40Yeah. Drummond would fit that profile
- 1:44:47that you just described. I hope not.
- 1:44:55Drove Mercedes-Benz. They call me the ladies man and
- 1:45:01Mr. Still your girl and. Nothing.
- 1:45:03You're the last one. Left busy all day today?
- 1:45:05Wait, Fish, you went. Or yeah, fish.
- 1:45:08Breaking news I have. And Andre Drummond.
- 1:45:11Breaking news, Ram Jam, I'm. Going to.
- 1:45:14This guys be someone who's better than that.
- 1:45:16Breaking news, Give me some. I speedy.
- 1:45:19I don't know. Breaking news.
- 1:45:21I need Brittany also. Yeah, Nothing.
- 1:45:23Nothing. Breaking news all.
- 1:45:25Right, Tommy, you were. Half the time I don't know he
- 1:45:28was. His teammates, Tommy said.
- 1:45:32Blake Griffin. And he was close.
- 1:45:34Yeah, it was his. Teammates.
- 1:45:35And nobody, said DeAndre. Jordan, DeAndre Jordan.
- 1:45:40That's a. I love Lisa Anne, yes.
- 1:45:45That many does city. All right, Speedy, you're going
- 1:45:47to block us in one of the two spots, I'm assuming.
- 1:45:49Which one do you want? I will do it on, I guess, Yeah,
- 1:45:53I guess I'll do it with that one because then I can win if I get
- 1:45:56the next one. Oh no, I can actually go win
- 1:45:57either. Way it's either way.
- 1:45:59It's the same thing either way, so.
- 1:46:00Next point, win preference. Jabba likes my shrimp cocktail.
- 1:46:03Yeah, All right, let's play. Next point wins.
- 1:46:06All right, next point wins, guys.
- 1:46:08Let's go. All right, so we'll go to back
- 1:46:10to the NFL. So after breaking Jim Brown's
- 1:46:13touchdown record on Sunday Night Football, Derrick Henry also
- 1:46:16this big game is just 103 yards of moving above what running
- 1:46:19back that played from 1998 to 2010. 2. 1010 Oh man.
- 1:46:32Ladanian Tomlinson. Nope.
- 1:46:34Ladanian is much higher in the list.
- 1:46:36Frank Gore. Frank Gore is incorrect.
- 1:46:38Also much higher in the list. Oh, what?
- 1:46:41Running leg stop playing in 2000. 10.
- 1:46:45He's still about 2000 yards away from Ladanian Tomlinson.
- 1:46:49I'm going to say Chris Johnson. Nope.
- 1:46:52Jeez, he's ahead of the. Big My rear end is burning
- 1:46:54ahead. Of Chris Johnson.
- 1:46:58He retired in 2010. Yep.
- 1:47:00What about skid mark? 1998 to 2010 he played.
- 1:47:03I had to take a shit. Is he a Hall of Famer?
- 1:47:08I don't believe so. He tastes himself.
- 1:47:11I. Don't know, I don't have.
- 1:47:14Anything as long as she's. Using do know who it is?
- 1:47:16No, he's. Not a hall of my guess.
- 1:47:18Can can I? Can I give fish my guess now,
- 1:47:20this time? All right.
- 1:47:21No, I gave up. I thought it was a Hall of
- 1:47:23Famer. I'll take the guess, but I think
- 1:47:26I have a couple of names. Read the question one more time.
- 1:47:29So Derrick Henry is 103 yards from surpassing this running
- 1:47:34back on the all time rushing list he played from 1998 to
- 1:47:382010. And like for what place on the
- 1:47:41rushing list is he going for? 17th it.
- 1:47:44Would be 17th, so he's down the list.
- 1:47:46OK, 98 to 2010. So he played a 12 year career,
- 1:47:55so he was around for a long time.
- 1:47:59Give some Braska some love. This is shot in the dark Amman
- 1:48:01Green. Nope, Amman Green is.
- 1:48:04This makes my pecker hard. He was.
- 1:48:06He was on the list. He's 39th.
- 1:48:07He is 9205. Like I always gave up the booty.
- 1:48:10Good running back. This is a good question.
- 1:48:12I said the answer. Already nobody's gonna.
- 1:48:13I don't know if. Anybody smell my ass?
- 1:48:15So wait, are you guessing or giving?
- 1:48:17Yes, No, no. I gave fish for my guests
- 1:48:19already. I.
- 1:48:19Just glory full because I. Don't have a guess anymore.
- 1:48:22Okay. I don't know.
- 1:48:24This is really tough. This is a good one job.
- 1:48:27I liked my shrimp cocktail. Errol is absolutely not helping
- 1:48:31with the. Sound My pinky is bigger than.
- 1:48:33He's on the wrong team. I literally don't know who's
- 1:48:37answered or whatever cuz he. Maybe you should just be on
- 1:48:39Speedy's team from now on. It's.
- 1:48:41It's so far Frank Gore. Frank Gore.
- 1:48:43Doo Doo. But Danny and Tomlinson, I'm on
- 1:48:46green and Chris Johnson. 98 who came into the league in 98?
- 1:48:55Oh my God. 17th all time. You're not gonna get it so.
- 1:49:03I don't think I'm going to get it.
- 1:49:04I guess I got nobody in my brain that that fits that category.
- 1:49:10I'll stay. I don't know, Charlie Garner.
- 1:49:17And the answer is Fred Taylor. You.
- 1:49:22Weren't going to get it so. No, that's somebody that's
- 1:49:26legitimate that. Should have been done, not.
- 1:49:28He's not in the Hall of Fame. In the Hall of Fame, though.
- 1:49:30He should. Really.
- 1:49:32He should be in the. Jacksonville Jack He.
- 1:49:34Was great. He was a great player.
- 1:49:36He. Was a good player.
- 1:49:38So this means speedy wins. Didn't he end up having like 80
- 1:49:40or something? The other, the other one that
- 1:49:42was pretty close that I thought somebody would guess because it
- 1:49:44actually was a similar year range and he's a little higher
- 1:49:46on the list was Edgar and James too was 99.
- 1:49:49That's that's who I was thinking of.
- 1:49:51But he's in the Hall of Fame. That's why I asked that
- 1:49:52question. Yeah, so he actually.
- 1:49:54I was going to. He's a little higher that like
- 1:49:56he's a little higher. So he's 13th right now, 12,246
- 1:50:00Derek Henry is 11,592. Fred Taylor is 11,695 right now.
- 1:50:04Speedy and. James played that long.
- 1:50:08Yep, Edger and James is awesome. He.
- 1:50:10Was. Yeah, he was.
- 1:50:12That team was awesome. That Colts team was as as jacked
- 1:50:16as it could be. They had Clark, they had they
- 1:50:19had two unbelievable wide receivers and Harrison and and
- 1:50:22Reggie Wayne. I mean you, you name it, that
- 1:50:25team was loaded. They had the the center that
- 1:50:28became the great interim head. Coach that whole offensive
- 1:50:30class, Yes. Saturday.
- 1:50:32Mr. Saturday that whole and they had two unbelievable pass
- 1:50:36rushers on that team, too. So and Hall of Famers, Yeah.
- 1:50:40All right, ladies and gentlemen, we call this Save your tears.

- 1:53:26Here's this week's contest. I'm going to read it all for you
- 1:53:30guys. While the guys think about
- 1:53:32making their picks tonight, we are going to go to the Bills and
- 1:53:36the Lions, The Jets, the Saints, The Who also have the 49ers and
- 1:53:42one more team is in here. It is the they say.
- 1:53:47The Bears. The Bears.
- 1:53:48And the Bears. So we got guys from all six of
- 1:53:51those teams littered in here, starting with the $5 player Josh
- 1:53:56Allen, obviously $5 at quarterback, MVP of the league,
- 1:53:59Jared Goff at 4, Justin Fields for three, Caleb Williams for
- 1:54:04two and the rattlesnake Spencer Rat.
- 1:54:07You know I'm not going. Purdy not playing this week.
- 1:54:09Running back. We're going to go put Gibbs at
- 1:54:13$5 over CMC. Despite how they both performed
- 1:54:18last week, Gibbs was the higher pick in the drafts.
- 1:54:21CMC at $4.00. James Cook at 3.
- 1:54:23Reese Hall big first week at $2.00 and a future Hall of
- 1:54:26Famer, perhaps Alvin Kamara at $1.00.
- 1:54:30The running backs pretty loaded. Wide receiver one have to pick
- 1:54:33from this column. I'm on raw St.
- 1:54:35Brown for five, Ricky Pearsall at 4, big week from Keon Coleman
- 1:54:38last week at 3, Roma Dunze at 2 and Rasheed Shaheed for a buck
- 1:54:43at wide receiver 2. Garrett Wilson tops the list,
- 1:54:46followed by DJ Moore, Chris Olavey, Jameson Williams and

- 1:54:53Tight end is Sam Laporta, followed by Dalton Kincaid, Juan
- 1:54:58Johnson, a big week playing with Spencer Rattlesnake, Rattler,
- 1:55:01Cole Commet, A2 and Jets legend from The Ohio State University,
- 1:55:07Jeremy Rucker for a dollar rounding it out.
- 1:55:11So who wants to go first? I think we'll go in reverse
- 1:55:16order from last week. Nathan, you get to pick first.
- 1:55:21Everyone's been clamoring. More Nathan.
- 1:55:24More Nathan. Here's your chance, big man.

- 1:56:39All right, give me Josh Allen. Alvin Kamara, Ricky Pearsall.
- 1:56:46Who else can I go? Let me go.
- 1:56:51Also Jameson, Winston Williams and.
- 1:56:55Jameson. Winston.
- 1:56:56I had to correct. Myself, I had to correct myself,
- 1:56:59Cole comment. What has he got left?
- 1:57:02You have like $4. You get 3 left.
- 1:57:04Yeah, Cole comment. Java, but there's a chance that
- 1:57:07James Winston could get traded back to the Sage.
- 1:57:08You never know. All right, I'll go next.
- 1:57:13Wait a second. Let.
- 1:57:14Me go because I don't want you to tell me I'm copying.
- 1:57:17All right. Sorry, I'll go with the end.
- 1:57:20I don't want to hear you saying that I'm copying you, all right?
- 1:57:23Because that's what you like. You're not copying me.
- 1:57:25Yeah, I'm going. Justin Fields, CMC, St.
- 1:57:30Brown. What?
- 1:57:31How many points do I have left? CMC St.
- 1:57:34Brown that is 12 so you have 3 left.
- 1:57:36All right, so I'm going to go Jamie Jameson Williams and I
- 1:57:42mean, I guess Jeremy Rucker, right, Rucker.
- 1:57:45Yeah, that's where I'm going. All right, so you have Field,
- 1:57:50CMC St. Brown, Jameson Williams and
- 1:57:54Jeremy Rucker. All right.
- 1:57:56Well, I am going to go now and I'm going to take surprisingly
- 1:58:02the same two guys are all did to start it.
- 1:58:04Justin Fields and CMCI believe in those guys as well.
- 1:58:09So that's where I'm going. But I'm going to change it up
- 1:58:11for wide receiver number one. I'm going to go and say the hot
- 1:58:14streak continues with Keyon Coleman for the Bills.
- 1:58:19And then that gives me two more dollars an arrow the rest of the
- 1:58:22way. So that should give me 5.
- 1:58:24I'm going to spend. I'm going to spend 3 on you know
- 1:58:33what I'm going to spend. Let's just go all bills all day,
- 1:58:38Shakur and Kincaid. I'm just going to ride the Bills
- 1:58:42wave to victory along the way. That's what we're doing.
- 1:58:47So I got Justin Fields, CMC, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakur and
- 1:58:53Dalton Kincaid. Last three, all from your
- 1:58:56Buffalo Bills. Moving on, Jabba, I'm sorry we
- 1:59:00got yeah, Jabba and Speedy, who wants to go first?
- 1:59:04I'll go. All right, go ahead, Jabba.
- 1:59:07I'm going to go Josh Allen, Breece Hall, Ricky Pearsall,
- 1:59:14Alave and Rucker. Allen, Hall, Pearsall, Alave,
- 1:59:18Rucker to round it out, our former champion.
- 1:59:20Detroit playing the speedy. OK, yeah, I'm definitely going
- 1:59:24with the 2. The two Detroit wide receivers?
- 1:59:27Definitely. All right, So I'm going to go
- 1:59:29same start as Jabba, I'm going to go Josh Allen, Breeze Hall,
- 1:59:32I'm going to go Doonsay, I'm going to go Shakur and then I'm
- 1:59:35going to go $5 on tight end with Laporta.
- 1:59:38Oh. Laporta.
- 1:59:41I think that's our first fierce $5 tight end.
- 1:59:44That might be. Let's take a look at where we
- 1:59:47are there. Was no tight end worth above 4
- 1:59:49last week that was worth taking? That's.
- 1:59:52True. Four people taking Allen, 2
- 1:59:54taking fields, 2 Camaras, 2 Halls, 2 CMCs we got we're all
- 2:00:00over the place at receiver. A couple of Ricky Pearsalls in
- 2:00:02there and Roma Dunes. We got a lot of Shakur action
- 2:00:07going on here as well. Jeremy Rucker big big getting
- 2:00:12some play here. As in save your tears again.
- 2:00:16The winner gets the compliment chorus.
- 2:00:18Next we. Filled with myth and sound
- 2:00:21bites. I have no.
- 2:00:25What to have another section just for Nathan so he can spit
- 2:00:28it out? All right, Speedy's one and only
- 2:00:336 pack of the week. Let's have a sixer.
- 2:00:38Hey, who wants to play Drink the Beer?
- 2:00:40It's time for the Speedy 6 pack of the week, all.
- 2:00:46Right. So the way I did the scoring
- 2:00:47with this is I get if you got the closest margin of victory
- 2:00:51last week, you get an extra point.
- 2:00:53If you get the team right, you got one point.
- 2:00:55So after Week 1, Errol is in the lead with five, Fish and Java,
- 2:01:00you both have three and I have one at the moment.
- 2:01:03So we will start with tomorrow's game.
- 2:01:05The Commanders at the Packers. I got Green Bay winning this by
- 2:01:086 all. Right.
- 2:01:13Who's going next? I don't really think about this.
- 2:01:16I figured it'd be you, then Jabba and all the rest.
- 2:01:19All right. I'm going to go Packers.
- 2:01:23I'll where's it at? It's a Green Bay, I'm going to
- 2:01:25go Packers by 7. What about Packers by 10?
- 2:01:30This spread 6 you said. No, I said I had them winning by
- 2:01:346. Spread is.
- 2:01:41That's right. If you don't have it, that's
- 2:01:42fine. I think I'm going to go with the
- 2:01:44Packers as well. I think it's a touchdown game,
- 2:01:46too. What do you got next, Speedy?
- 2:01:50Java. Did Java make a?
- 2:01:51Spec No, Java didn't. Oh, Java.
- 2:01:53Yeah, dude, I said. Packers.
- 2:01:54Packers. Packers.
- 2:01:56We all took the Packers. How many Java?
- 2:01:57It doesn't matter. Just Packers.
- 2:01:58You don't have to write down how much just Packers he's.
- 2:02:01Got the Packers? All right, we'll go to we'll go
- 2:02:03to the Bills and The Jets. I think this is a higher scoring
- 2:02:05game. Give me Buffalo by 8.
- 2:02:12I'm trying to think you guys could skip me because I might go
- 2:02:14with it. I got to think.
- 2:02:15I got to think about it. Job Are you going to make a pick
- 2:02:19about the Bills and Jets real quick?
- 2:02:21Bills. How close you think it's going
- 2:02:24to be? 2 touchdowns.
- 2:02:28Yeah, I, I don't know, I, I need to see more from The Jets
- 2:02:33against good competition. I don't think Pittsburgh was
- 2:02:35good. I don't know if it's two
- 2:02:36touchdowns, but I think it's at least eight points.
- 2:02:41Bills win. I I'm going to I think I OK, so
- 2:02:48I'm going to pick the bills, but I'm I wouldn't be surprised if
- 2:02:50The Jets win this game. I'm just going to let you guys
- 2:02:52know that I'm going to go Buffalo by three, but I wouldn't
- 2:02:55be surprised if The Jets win this game all.
- 2:02:58Right, let's go to the Broncos at the Colts.
- 2:03:00I got Denver winning in this game, but I do think it will be
- 2:03:02close. The Colts defense that impressed
- 2:03:04me last week Give me Denver by 6.
- 2:03:09I can do this one right now. Denver by 25 points.
- 2:03:12I'm going to bet this heavy. I don't think Daniel Jones can
- 2:03:15play against real defenses. I, I don't care.
- 2:03:19This is a real defense, not the whatever Miami pretended to put
- 2:03:25up there yet last week. I've seen what Daniel Jones does
- 2:03:28against real defenses. It's not much.
- 2:03:30Give me the the Give me a blow out for Denver.
- 2:03:35Got a job? Broncos by 10.
- 2:03:38I'm going Indianapolis by three Indy wins, I said.
- 2:03:43I said this feud is going to go on all year.
- 2:03:45Indy wins Jones. OK, let's go to the. 2025 points
- 2:03:48How what What plus odds you think I can get Indy at 25
- 2:03:52points by? Three all.
- 2:03:53Right, let's go to the Sunday Night Football game, the Atlanta
- 2:03:55Falcons and the Minnesota Vikings.
- 2:03:57I think Atlanta bounces back here.
- 2:03:58Give me Atlanta by three. Indiana and Atlanta.
- 2:04:06Atlanta at Minnesota. I'm going, I'm going, Vikings,
- 2:04:11Vikings by 7. Vikings by 6 I'm.
- 2:04:17Going to say Vikings by three. I think it's going to be very
- 2:04:20close. Come down to the last
- 2:04:21possession. You know, I want to I'm going to
- 2:04:23correct my Indiana, my Indiana, because I want to win this.
- 2:04:26I don't want to. I want to do this where I'm I
- 2:04:29like to win, so I'm going to go Broncos, but I Indiana I think
- 2:04:33could win. Too.
- 2:04:33You like to win, so you can't support Daniel Jones.
- 2:04:36I just want everyone. To hear I'm going to tell you
- 2:04:38this, I'm going to tell you this, Daniel Jones has a great
- 2:04:41game, just so you know. I'll tell you this, all right,
- 2:04:44He's going to. This is going to see the
- 2:04:46exposure. Denver by three, but I'm going
- 2:04:49to tell you this right now, Daniel Jones throw over throws
- 2:04:53over 200 yards and runs about 50 yards and runs in a touchdown
- 2:04:56and throws 2 touchdowns. He's going to have one of those
- 2:05:00faces where he's just like. I'm going to go Denver because I
- 2:05:03want to win. But because it's it's it's it's
- 2:05:05it's not guaranteed. But I'm telling you, Daniel
- 2:05:08Jones, have a big game all. Right, let's go to Monday Night
- 2:05:10Football. The Buccaneers at the Texans.
- 2:05:12I'm going to go. Tampa wins by 10 in a low
- 2:05:14scoring game. At the Texans.
- 2:05:15At the Texans. I got the bucks by three.
- 2:05:22So this is a team that can't block a soul.
- 2:05:26If you think the Giants can't block, take wait till you get a
- 2:05:28load of the Texans. The Texans, if you can't win in
- 2:05:33the in the NFL against good teams, if you can't block up
- 2:05:35front, I think they're going to kill him.
- 2:05:37CJ Stroud couldn't do that much last week.
- 2:05:39They're facing a better team now.
- 2:05:42I think they're going to beat him up by a lot.
- 2:05:43Give me two score game for Texans.
- 2:05:48Lose by over 14. Is Tommy picking?
- 2:05:54Is Tommy picking nom? You can get Tommy's down on his
- 2:05:57side, see if he beats us. I want to go to the Texans so
- 2:06:01bad. I want to be different.
- 2:06:02I want to be different. I trust CJ Stroud and it is at
- 2:06:08home. But I got Bucky Irving on my
- 2:06:13fantasy team. I want him to do well.
- 2:06:17I'm going to go Buccaneers again, another game.
- 2:06:21I'd be surprised the Texans win. It's going to be close 3.
- 2:06:24Three points. All right, last run, the Super
- 2:06:26Bowl rematch, Eagles at the Chiefs.
- 2:06:29This will not be a blowout like the Super Bowl, but I am still
- 2:06:31taking the Eagles in a tight, low scoring game, I'll say by 6.
- 2:06:38I got Chiefs by three. Wasn't close in the Super Bowl.
- 2:06:42I don't know why it's going to be much more close now, except
- 2:06:44for one reason. The rookie left tackle looks
- 2:06:48really, really good in Week 1. Simmons from Ohio State went
- 2:06:53last pick in the first round. They could not block the pass
- 2:06:57rush in the Super Bowl. I think they will now and I
- 2:07:00think it's going to be a fairer game.
- 2:07:02You give him Holmes any kind of protection, he's going to make
- 2:07:05sure that if he goes. Down to the last session.
- 2:07:07Of the game. So pick him.
- 2:07:09No, I'm I'm going to say the I'm going to say the Chiefs win.
- 2:07:12I'm going to say they win by three with an assist from the
- 2:07:15referees. Swift, these are back.
- 2:07:18I'm going. To they owe them one.
- 2:07:21I'm going to say, I'm going to say this is just going to prove
- 2:07:24why Kansas City might not even make the playoffs this year.
- 2:07:28This will be the first O and two season they've had in a long
- 2:07:30time. I've got the Eagles winning the
- 2:07:33game and blowing them out OK by 14.
- 2:07:38So I got the Eagles on a blowout.
- 2:07:40So there you go. I want to show like I want to do
- 2:07:45something we can do this next week, Speedy, but I'm going to
- 2:07:48show you how idiots we are. I'm going to flip a coin from
- 2:07:51here on out for my picks. And just to show you that it
- 2:07:55like we think way too much about these things.
- 2:07:58I will let a coin decide and I guarantee you I don't come in
- 2:08:00last. So something about this going
- 2:08:06forwards, we are going to incorporate spreads into this.
- 2:08:09Yeah, that's probably better. And we're going to invite, we're
- 2:08:12also going to invite some of our let's parlay guys to play along.
- 2:08:17So we're going to get to talk some more about this as we go
- 2:08:20forward, Speedy. With the six Pack for Week 2,
- 2:08:24there you go. I, I and I do believe the Eagles
- 2:08:26are the best team still in the NFC.
- 2:08:28I do. Even with the Green Bay Packers,
- 2:08:30as good as they are and what they've shown to be, I still
- 2:08:33think the Eagles when healthy, they have the most talent around
- 2:08:36them offensively and defensively.
- 2:08:39Because if you look at it, the Eagles secondary is just so
- 2:08:43fantastic. It's I mean, I don't think as
- 2:08:46good as the Packers are, their secondary is iffy.
- 2:08:49The Eagles secondary is ridiculous.
- 2:08:52So that's the only reason why I think that the Eagles are still
- 2:08:55way better than the the Packers. And if they meet in the NFC
- 2:09:00title game, which I believe they might, I, I think the Eagles are
- 2:09:03going to come out the winners. That's just my opinion anyways.
- 2:09:06Ladies and gentlemen, we call this a call to the pen.
- 2:09:11It's done. I think you can throw a strike
- 2:09:13on this. Pitch, it's not going to be
- 2:09:14much. On it man.
- 2:09:15Feels like jello right now. Just get it over.
- 2:09:17The plate I want him to swing. Last time I did that the guy hit
- 2:09:20one that hasn't landed yet for a call to the pen.
- 2:09:23I. Had to take a shit.
- 2:09:24All right, guys, welcome back to A Call to the Pen.
- 2:09:28Tonight's episode is titled The Stretch Run.
- 2:09:31Well, it's mid-september. We're in the stretch run.
- 2:09:36With only a handful of series or less left in the regular season,
- 2:09:39the finish line is within sight for teams out of it.
- 2:09:42There's still a chance to see the youngsters on the expanded
- 2:09:45rosters and maybe one last chance to see some of your
- 2:09:48oldest favorites, maybe for the last time, while everyone in
- 2:09:51between, maybe you have another chance to let your displeasure
- 2:09:54be known. For fans and players on of and
- 2:09:57on teams in the playoff chase, it's a whole different animal.
- 2:10:00As a fan, I know I'm living on each game pissed off we blew
- 2:10:03another one due to bad defense by Volpe again and poor bullpen
- 2:10:07performance again. But I don't have any control
- 2:10:10over the outcome. No matter how hard I cheer, Boo,
- 2:10:12how creative my heckling is, or even how timed up I do the wave
- 2:10:16in my section, which I absolutely detest and I'm always
- 2:10:18pressured into doing. Nothing I do is going to change
- 2:10:22and outcome for the players, well, careers can be made in
- 2:10:26these times, future for generations of families can be
- 2:10:29obtained and glory and reverence are achievable.
- 2:10:32While for others like Bill Buckner, immortality can be
- 2:10:35gained in the wrong way. Well, I have no idea what that's
- 2:10:37like. As always, we are lucky to have
- 2:10:40the big right-hander in the pen, only a phone call away.
- 2:10:42Who has been through the chases? Who can tell us how things
- 2:10:45change at this point in the season, what it's like to come
- 2:10:47through when it really matters? Here on another edition of A
- 2:10:51Call to the Pen. I got the bubble gut Java.
- 2:10:54It could catch you one way or the other, right?
- 2:10:56It's hey, I'm out of it, but it's a it's a run year, which
- 2:11:01basically means for us it's like, hey, it's, it's a chance
- 2:11:04to go in a free agency with, you know, numbers, which you never
- 2:11:07want to look at that you always want to be battling to, to play
- 2:11:10in October. But it can also change a lot of
- 2:11:14lives. And we've seen I'll use and help
- 2:11:18a gun as an example. You get in with the Giants, you
- 2:11:20have a great postseason and you're set up for life and
- 2:11:24didn't do anything after that. So this is such a huge stretch
- 2:11:27run for not only guys getting into the playoffs, but guys just
- 2:11:30not only fighting for a job too. And think about those mid tier
- 2:11:33guys that are just literally trying to, you know, to stay on.
- 2:11:37And, you know, as, as we've seen the age kind of diminish, you
- 2:11:42know, the older guys getting, getting spots in the, you know,
- 2:11:44the bullpen and, and getting less money.
- 2:11:47They're, they're battling. So this stretch run for a lot of
- 2:11:50guys is huge. It's, it's showing that they can
- 2:11:53pitch in big situations to get them into the playoffs.
- 2:11:55And then once you get into the playoffs to see what you can do,
- 2:11:58because I can change a lot of things.
- 2:11:59And you know, you have your, you have your heroes and you have
- 2:12:02your, your goats to like where you get remembered for those
- 2:12:05things. Me being a playoff guy to where
- 2:12:08nobody cares what it is. It's just bugs all over me.
- 2:12:11So, you know, there's there's certain situations that that
- 2:12:15always manifest into something either good, bad, or in this
- 2:12:18case, weird. But this stretch runs always
- 2:12:21fun, especially with teams. And it sucks.
- 2:12:23I was fortunate enough that, you know, there's only one year
- 2:12:26where I didn't really have to plan on getting to the
- 2:12:28postseason, which isn't fun because then you start trying to
- 2:12:31play for yourself, which sometimes isn't the greatest
- 2:12:33thing to do. But when you get to that point
- 2:12:36and no, it's like, here we go, like, all right, they're going
- 2:12:38to see it now, you know, it's almost here.
- 2:12:41Let's see, you know, if I can have a great September.
- 2:12:43And now they look at it. So it's just it's a fun time of
- 2:12:46the year in sports in general and especially with baseball
- 2:12:48coming to an end and kind of seeing the new start of a
- 2:12:52season. And that's called the
- 2:12:54postseason, which is the real season to a lot of us true
- 2:12:57believers. Some people just getting there
- 2:12:59is one thing. But yeah, it's always, it's
- 2:13:02always an interesting time of the year for a lot of people.
- 2:13:05All right, and there you have it, the stretch run on a call to
- 2:13:09the pen. You know what?
- 2:13:11It's so funny. And, and we're waiting for
- 2:13:13Jordan Ron on when he comes in, we'll we'll be doing an
- 2:13:16interview. I, I want to, I want to say
- 2:13:18something. And I've been watching the NFL
- 2:13:21season for a long, long time. And I know there's a lot of Jet
- 2:13:25fans and, and there were a ton of Jet fans that reached out to
- 2:13:28me over the last 24 to 48 hours telling me, well, what do you
- 2:13:32think of The Jets? Where do you, where do you see
- 2:13:33The Jets this year after having a great game #1 And I'll, I'll
- 2:13:37tell you it's pretty simple. You can't make a decision.
- 2:13:41And, and like we've heard from Aaron Glenn and Aaron Glenn, I,
- 2:13:44I give him a lot of credit because the media is trying to
- 2:13:47get as much as they can out of Aaron Glenn over the last few
- 2:13:51days, trying to get him to say, well, we could be a contender,
- 2:13:55we could make the playoffs. And Aaron Glenn says, you know,
- 2:13:59the thought here is if you don't win, you're not going to get
- 2:14:02into the playoffs. And we didn't win as much as we
- 2:14:06played. Well, it's not going to make a
- 2:14:07difference if you don't put the win in the, you know, in the win
- 2:14:10mark and you have a loss, you're never going to get over the
- 2:14:13hump. And, and to me right now, when
- 2:14:15all the Jet fans are out there saying, wow, the fact is we got
- 2:14:19a quarterback and look at the defense.
- 2:14:21We got guys that can get after the quarterback and our
- 2:14:23offensive line is dominant. We we completely dominated a
- 2:14:27great defensive line. Here's the facts, guys.
- 2:14:30And for all you Jet fans out there, and I know you want to be
- 2:14:32happy, and I'm one of those Jet fans that want to see The Jets
- 2:14:35be an elite team until The Jets do it in the big games, until
- 2:14:40The Jets make the playoffs. Just think about it.
- 2:14:41Me and fish me and not fish me and Leaf were talking about it
- 2:14:45last week. I mean, last week, yesterday, 24
- 2:14:48hours ago, mainly if we're talking, you know, when the last
- 2:14:51time The Jets made the playoffs. You know how old I was when The
- 2:14:54Jets made the playoffs? I was 28 years old.
- 2:14:56I'm 43. Just think about that.
- 2:14:58It's been 15. You heard it. 15 years since The
- 2:15:03Jets made the playoffs. To even play a playoff game, to
- 2:15:06play a playoff minute. I know goodies not in tonight.
- 2:15:09I know guys, you don't have to tell me.
- 2:15:10I got it. Goodies not in.
- 2:15:12But I will say this, all you want to see is The Jets get to
- 2:15:17500 this year. If The Jets get to 500 and win
- 2:15:20eight games, that's a good season.
- 2:15:22Anything under 500, it's okay. You know where The Jets are
- 2:15:26going in the draft. No matter what happens as good
- 2:15:29as Justin Fields, his look, Justin Fields could be a pro
- 2:15:32ball player this year and he could he very much good.
- 2:15:35The numbers in game number one would tell you he there's a he
- 2:15:38played Jalen like Jalen Hurts. If he plays all season like
- 2:15:42that, he's going to get The Jets 700 yards running.
- 2:15:45He's going to put up 3000 yards and he's probably going to throw
- 2:15:48about 18 to 20 touchdowns and run in about six to seven
- 2:15:51touchdowns. If he does that, that is pro
- 2:15:54ball caliber, it doesn't matter. The Jets are going to get a
- 2:15:58quarterback in this coming draft because as we all know, as a
- 2:16:03coach, you want to bring in your own guy and Justin Field still
- 2:16:07has a year left on his contract. And is Breece Hall coming back
- 2:16:10no matter what? No Breece Hall could put up.
- 2:16:14Breece Hall could put up 1500 yards this year and he can have
- 2:16:1812 touchdowns. The Jets are not bringing Breece
- 2:16:20Hall back next year because The Jets are going to have to pay
- 2:16:23Jermaine Johnson and probably a year after that, a Will
- 2:16:27McDonald's. They're going to pay their pass
- 2:16:29rushers. It's harder to find a pass
- 2:16:31rusher than a running back. So Jet fans, I know you want to
- 2:16:34brag about what Breece Hall did in in game #1 and Breece Hall
- 2:16:37could be unbelievable this year where he's just the best running
- 2:16:41back in the league and one of the best offensive options that
- 2:16:44we've seen The Jets have since Curtis Martin.
- 2:16:46It's not going to make a difference.
- 2:16:48He will not be a Jet next year. He will will not be wearing the
- 2:16:50green and white next year. So you could book that Jet fans.
- 2:16:54But it it's exciting. I know Jet fans are excited.
- 2:16:57Giant fans were a little lame about what happened to the to to
- 2:17:02the giants in game number one against the commanders.
- 2:17:04I think the there's a lot of thought with the giant fans and
- 2:17:08we're going to get I, I hopefully we get Jordan Ron on
- 2:17:11on so we can talk about the giants.
- 2:17:13The only thing I could say that I saw about the Giants that you
- 2:17:16should be excited about is the Giants defensive line.
- 2:17:19I I thought it looked sensational.
- 2:17:22I think the youngsters, even even guys that I've attacked
- 2:17:26over the last year played very well.
- 2:17:28And if they continue doing that, their front seven could be as
- 2:17:31dominant as any front 7 in football.
- 2:17:33It it the scary part is their offensive line is so very bad.
- 2:17:37Three of their starters could be three of the third string
- 2:17:41players on any other roster. That's how bad it is.
- 2:17:44So the Giants and and Russell, it doesn't matter.
- 2:17:47Honestly, if you're a giant fan, you don't want to see Jackson
- 2:17:49Dart play. You don't want to see him play
- 2:17:52because he's going to get killed.
- 2:17:54Remember, Jackson Dart played against third string third
- 2:17:57string players in preseason. He hasn't even pleaded played
- 2:18:00number one guys, could you imagine if he played the Browns,
- 2:18:04what the Browns did to the the Bengals this past week?
- 2:18:08Imagine if they played TJ Watt and then the and the Pittsburgh
- 2:18:14Steelers. It it's it's scary giant fans,
- 2:18:17you do not want to see Jackson dart.
- 2:18:19I think you would rather see Russell Wilson get his head
- 2:18:21blown off and and not worry about your own quarterback being
- 2:18:24in harm's way. I I it's not a good sign for the
- 2:18:27New York Giants. It's not a good sign for Gable
- 2:18:29with Malik neighbors complaining and you see the the back, the
- 2:18:32backlash after the game and and Gable trying to make excuses
- 2:18:36about what happened on the sidelines.
- 2:18:38So it doesn't look good. But honestly, we'll see how it
- 2:18:42when the season, as the season progressively moves forward,
- 2:18:45what both teams and how both teams are going to fall
- 2:18:47together. But we're still waiting for
- 2:18:50Jordan Ronon, do you want to go to a sports minute?
- 2:18:55Let's go to a sports minute. Let's go to a sports minute.
- 2:18:57There is no goodies bag of balls.
- 2:18:59If Ronon isn't on I, I want to get into something, Adam Silver
- 2:19:03said at the Kawhi Leonard press conference.
- 2:19:06This over the last 24 hours, so yeah.
- 2:19:09We got inside baseball as well set up for in place a goody too
- 2:19:12so. I do want to get into what what
- 2:19:15Adam Silver said. So first our sports minute with
- 2:19:19the fish this. Is the Jabba and the Mouth
- 2:19:24sportsman as? All right guys, starting off the
- 2:19:30Sportsman and here is Aaron Fishman with a couple of stories
- 2:19:33before your scores. Former Cubs legend and Yankees
- 2:19:37disappointment first baseman Anthony Rizzo announced his
- 2:19:40retirement at the age of 36 from the game of baseball.
- 2:19:44In 10 seasons with the Cubs, Rizzo was a three time All Star,
- 2:19:47four time Gold Glove winner and winner of the 2017 Roberto
- 2:19:51Clemente Award for community involvement and philanthropic
- 2:19:54contributions. Rizzo, who battled cancer, is a
- 2:19:57Red Sox prospect, has dedicated lots of time and energy to his
- 2:20:00charitable foundation, leading to his near universal approval
- 2:20:04from those in the league. And yes, even me, a bitter
- 2:20:07Yankees fan that thought we were getting a better version of
- 2:20:10Rizzo than we got. Especially after he played half
- 2:20:12a season with an undiagnosed concussion for some reason,
- 2:20:16after which he never could find the magic again, especially in
- 2:20:19that 5th inning game five last year I said I wouldn't be
- 2:20:22bitter. So congratulations on a great
- 2:20:24career. Anthony Rizzo, one of the Cubs
- 2:20:26that broke the Curse of the Billy Goat.
- 2:20:29And the Bulls in guard forward Josh Giddy agreed to a four
- 2:20:32year, $100 million contract extension.
- 2:20:35The deal makes Giddy the highest paid player on the team.
- 2:20:38Giddy, who's 6 foot 8, led the Bulls with 21.2 points, 10.7
- 2:20:43rebounds and 9.3 assists per game with 45.7% on threes in the
- 2:20:4819 games he played after Zach Levine was traded away at the
- 2:20:52trade deadline last year. Giddy, who was traded straight
- 2:20:55up by OKC to Chicago for Alex Caruso at the end of the 2324
- 2:20:59season, was embroiled at the time in a scandal with an
- 2:21:02underage girl that that did not lead the charges.
- 2:21:05Apparently, the Bulls and recently extended coach, newly
- 2:21:08minted Hall of Famer Billy Donovan, are comfortable with
- 2:21:11the big Australian being a part big part of the team's future.

- 2:23:51National Giants reporter, port reporter Jordan.
- 2:23:55Ron Jordan. What's up, buddy?
- 2:23:58What's going on, fellas? Look at that guy.
- 2:24:00Look at that, sexy. Man.
- 2:24:02Right there. Look at that.
- 2:24:04Yeah. I know you're kids.
- 2:24:05Young that guy is. I'm all over that.
- 2:24:07That graphic. I'm young there, man.
- 2:24:09Look at those. Look at that.
- 2:24:11And you got a beautiful wife, you got wonderful kids.
- 2:24:14Who's better than you, Jordan? There we go.
- 2:24:16And you're and you're a giant guy.
- 2:24:18First of all, let me apologize for being late.
- 2:24:20I got caught up in the middle of a project with my son.
- 2:24:23We had to put together a collage.
- 2:24:25There you go, stuff. All right, that's cool.
- 2:24:27School comes first, family comes first, but you're here.
- 2:24:30Got to make sure we got to make sure he graduates first grade.
- 2:24:35You know, when I was when I was in first grade, I thought and
- 2:24:39I'm just there, there was like this glue thing.
- 2:24:42I had this problem. I love the smell of glue and
- 2:24:44when I was in first grade I tried to you.
- 2:24:46Know you were that kid I was. One of those kids, yeah, I was
- 2:24:49one of those kids. I like to play with glue and
- 2:24:52taste it and all that other stuff, yeah.
- 2:24:54I mean, the obvious joke is that it explains everything, you
- 2:24:57know? I mean, that's too easy.
- 2:24:58Right there. Well, at least I could admit it.
- 2:25:01All right, Jordan. Anyways, the Giants.
- 2:25:04I mean, there's a lot to get in with the New York Giants.
- 2:25:06I spoke a little bit about it before you came in.
- 2:25:09We're talking little Jets and Giants.
- 2:25:10And you know, what's crazy is the biggest story right now is
- 2:25:14the Malik Neighbors and and Brian Dabel situation on the
- 2:25:18sidelines. And a lot of people, Dabel kind
- 2:25:21of played, played it off after the game.
- 2:25:23Malik Neighbors, you could see he wasn't very happy.
- 2:25:27There was a lot behind the arguing on the sidelines.
- 2:25:30You have the inside scoop. What happened on the sidelines?
- 2:25:35Yeah, I just think they were frustrated.
- 2:25:37They weren't doing anything offensively.
- 2:25:39You know, they were successful. There wasn't a lot of energy
- 2:25:43going on. It kind of was a very, I know
- 2:25:45guys, we're getting down I think a little quickly and look, these
- 2:25:51things happen. It's really, I don't think it's
- 2:25:52that big a deal. I do see it being a little bit
- 2:25:57troubling that 1/4 into the season, the frustration boiled
- 2:26:00like one like really that quickly, you know, And to me,
- 2:26:05it's more of a sign that, hey, you know what?
- 2:26:07This is a little bit of an extension of last year.
- 2:26:09It's like, Oh my God, here we go again with the offense.
- 2:26:12So I think that's what it is. That concerns me more than the
- 2:26:15actual act of the two of them. You know, they're fiery Dabo.
- 2:26:18We we've seen he, you know, over the years flipped the tablet at
- 2:26:21Daniel Jones and argued with Wink Martindale and, you know,
- 2:26:27it's exploding left and right. The league neighbors have been
- 2:26:29not been shy. He said he's going to be open
- 2:26:32and honest. And when he sees something that
- 2:26:35he's going to, you know, feel like he's going to do his best
- 2:26:40to correct it. So it's kind of what I expect
- 2:26:42from those guys. It does make me pause, though.
- 2:26:45Like really, this is where we're at 1/4 into the season.
- 2:26:50It's very jet like, OK. It's not usually giant like,
- 2:26:54it's very jet like. I didn't see much of that with
- 2:26:58the New York Jets, but definitely that was surprising.
- 2:27:00They're on the even ground these days.
- 2:27:02That's where we're. At but the last time we've seen
- 2:27:04this before Jordan, it was Tom Coughlin and Odell Beckham.
- 2:27:08And what happened to Tom Coughlin after that?
- 2:27:11He got fired while he walked away, as Giant fans want to add
- 2:27:15that, but the Giants have never been as good with the Tom
- 2:27:19Coughlin era since then. So that's all I'm bringing it
- 2:27:22up. The last time we've seen this
- 2:27:23happen was Odell Beckham, their superstar wide receiver and
- 2:27:26their Hall of Fame coach. That's all I'm saying.
- 2:27:29Yeah, well, look, this is a different situation than than
- 2:27:34that at the time. I I think, I think it's just
- 2:27:38more both sides. Whereas that time it was a
- 2:27:40little more one sided, right. And with the just Odell being so
- 2:27:45emotional, this is kind of both the coach and the player.
- 2:27:51But again, I think it's a fairpoint if you know something
- 2:27:57moving forward happens. Is day ball on the hot seat?
- 2:28:00It's Tom Coughlin was on the hot seat when that was going on.
- 2:28:03You have to believe that he's on the hot seat.
- 2:28:05Tom Coughlin was on the hot seat.
- 2:28:06For like 7 years I'm just saying he was on the hot seat and Odell
- 2:28:09Beckham, your superstar John Mayer is behind his superstars.
- 2:28:12When you see something like that on the sidelines, that's not a
- 2:28:15good sign, especially in the. First quarter, I think, I think,
- 2:28:18look, they won three games last year.
- 2:28:19They have to win games. They can't.
- 2:28:21You know, they're in year 4 of the regime here.
- 2:28:25They absolutely have to produce some sort of results.
- 2:28:28John Mayer said that after last season.
- 2:28:30I think the quote was, you know, we're going to have to see it's
- 2:28:35here. It is.
- 2:28:35I have it right here. They're going to have to get
- 2:28:37better results. He's talking about if we're
- 2:28:40going to move on to year 4. He actually meant Year 5.
- 2:28:43But yeah, so they're going to have to get better results.
- 2:28:47You know, that means winning some games.
- 2:28:49That's what it's all about here. So 11 unit that did a good job
- 2:28:52in trying to win the game was the defense.
- 2:28:53The front 7 looked very good. A new look secondary.
- 2:28:56I thought there were some impressive young players in that
- 2:28:58secondary, obviously bringing in a Devo and Holland as free
- 2:29:00agents. And then I thought some of the
- 2:29:02youngsters had a nice game. What were your impressions of
- 2:29:03the defense? They were good, not great.
- 2:29:06Somewhere in between. Like there was definitely some
- 2:29:08things you could positives you could take from it.
- 2:29:10They were, they let up 21 total points say, you know, they were,
- 2:29:14they kept them in the game. They can get some pass rush.
- 2:29:18They had some splash plays. Maybe they were a little
- 2:29:21fortunate that Jayden Daniels didn't have his best day.
- 2:29:24There was some opportunities there that he didn't quite hit.
- 2:29:28But I think you could feel you could leave that game still
- 2:29:30feeling semi confident that the Giants defense is going to be a
- 2:29:34good unit and definitely is the strength of the team.
- 2:29:36There's no doubt about that. Guy that stands out to you that
- 2:29:38you think's going to have a breakout year on the defensive
- 2:29:40side of the wall? Well, Brian Burns already got 2
- 2:29:43sacks. And look, I know the easy answer
- 2:29:45there is Abdul Carter. Look, he's going to be a great
- 2:29:47player even if you look at his reps and I totally think that.
- 2:29:51But I also think that Brian Burns, he already has two sacks.
- 2:29:55He's sort of primed for a really big year.
- 2:29:57He's the best I've seen him looking so far this summer.
- 2:30:02Granted, he's only been here a little more over a year now, but
- 2:30:05I I think especially with those other guys there with him, he's
- 2:30:09primed for a really big year. I think, you know, Brian Burns
- 2:30:12could end up having his best season yet, you know, easy Pro
- 2:30:16Bowl type season. And for him it's all about he
- 2:30:21just needs to stay healthy, right.
- 2:30:23That was the thing last year. He was a good player last year.
- 2:30:25He was top ten in the league and pass rush win rate.
- 2:30:29But he was also dinged up and he was just banged up constantly
- 2:30:31and he was playing through a lot.
- 2:30:32I think he would barely up be able to walk in the locker room
- 2:30:35after some of those games and so you can you can really see him
- 2:30:38struggling. If he stays healthy, I think
- 2:30:40he's going to have a huge year for them.
- 2:30:41We are talking to ESPNNFL Nation Giants reporter Jordan Ron on
- 2:30:46You know, Jordan, the offensive line was absolutely putrid.
- 2:30:50This was horrible. This Andrew Thomas has been out.
- 2:30:53He can't stay healthy, but when he's when he's playing, he's one
- 2:30:56of the best offensive tackles in football.
- 2:30:58The guy got a a lot of money and the guy still hasn't been on the
- 2:31:01field yet this season. You're you're hoping that he
- 2:31:04comes back soon. But when you look at guys like
- 2:31:07Runyon, you brought him in, he didn't play well.
- 2:31:09You have Michael Schmidt, a guy like him, a guy that they
- 2:31:13drafted in the second round. They thought he was the future
- 2:31:15center. He hasn't been good.
- 2:31:17You're bringing Van Roden. We all know Long Island native,
- 2:31:20he played for The Jets, played for the Packers.
- 2:31:22The guy stinks. I mean, practically every single
- 2:31:25player on his line and anything you bring in Jermaine, these
- 2:31:28guys, you bring them into free agency, they stink.
- 2:31:31They absolutely suck. And I'm not going to bet on Evan
- 2:31:34Neal if you put him in the guard position that he's going to save
- 2:31:38the world and save the New York Giants.
- 2:31:40This offensive line is terrible. And and you could see it in the
- 2:31:44running game. Tracy couldn't run.
- 2:31:46They have no running game whatsoever.
- 2:31:48And they're going to bet on Russell Wilson.
- 2:31:50And you want to put Jackson Dart in there?
- 2:31:52Giant fans are calling for Dart. He's going to get killed.
- 2:31:54He's going to be closed line with this offensive line.
- 2:31:57Your thoughts to the Giants absolutely disgusting offensive
- 2:32:01line. Yeah, it was a rough week one
- 2:32:02for the offensive line. I mean, that's that is certainly
- 2:32:06a fair take. It wasn't what you wanted.
- 2:32:09The problem is Andrew Thomas is injured, right?
- 2:32:13He's coming back from a pretty serious injury.
- 2:32:15He needed Liz Frank's surgery and now he's the only guy on
- 2:32:20that line that you have that's a super high end player.
- 2:32:23And that's when he's healthy and he hasn't been healthy enough
- 2:32:25for two straight years. So even when he comes back, I
- 2:32:27don't know if he's going to be the same player.
- 2:32:28I don't know if that's even realistic at this point.
- 2:32:31But you have this one guy who's a high end player and other guys
- 2:32:34that are average, below average players.
- 2:32:37And you put so much weight on the one guy who's coming back
- 2:32:41from a serious injury. It's just it's not, it doesn't
- 2:32:45seem like the kind of bet that you would want to make.
- 2:32:47And I and that that 100% is the concern with putting in Jackson
- 2:32:53Dart. It's do you want to put him in
- 2:32:55this situation? It's not an ideal situation for
- 2:32:57a young quarterback. Do you really want him to go in?
- 2:33:00Do you want him to go in and take hits?
- 2:33:02And I think that's the dilemma that the Giants are going to
- 2:33:04have here. It's going to be well, is Brian
- 2:33:07Dabo the and Joe and or Joe Shane, do they feel that much
- 2:33:10pressure that they feel they have to put Jackson Dart in or
- 2:33:14do they say, hey, the right thing for us long term?
- 2:33:17Do they feel enough confidence and and feel enough job security
- 2:33:21where they can do that? It's AI don't know.
- 2:33:23It'll be very interesting to see how it plays out.
- 2:33:26But a, they need Andrew Thomas, but they also need some of the
- 2:33:29guys there to play better. They need John Runyon junior to
- 2:33:31play better, right? He's proven he could play as a
- 2:33:35quality guard in this league. John Michael Schmidt needs to
- 2:33:40live up to the the the draft status that he had.
- 2:33:42He was a second round pick, Greg Van Roen.
- 2:33:45He's a serviceable guy. Stop it, stop it, stop selling
- 2:33:50us. We know you're good.
- 2:33:51Be serviceable. Service.
- 2:33:54Be serviceable if you if he happened to be your 5th best
- 2:33:57lineman, you'd be. Fine, I wipe my ass with Greg
- 2:34:01van Roden. I put, I put Jabba in position.
- 2:34:04Jabba's never played offensive. I'd rather.
- 2:34:07Play. I could careless.
- 2:34:09All Jabba has to do is put his big body there and well, he
- 2:34:12doesn't have a big body anymore. He lost 36 lbs but you know what
- 2:34:15I mean. I would put his big 6 foot 3
- 2:34:18frame there over Greg Van Roden. The guy stinks.
- 2:34:21I played it in Pee Wee's OK. OK, that's a long time ago,
- 2:34:24buddy. I'm here.
- 2:34:25For sure. The point is they need the guys
- 2:34:29there to play better because the reality is it's not and there's
- 2:34:32not. Like you said, there's nobody
- 2:34:33walking. Through the door.
- 2:34:35Right. There's no, there's no oh, hey,
- 2:34:36we have an All Pro Bowl offensive lineman walking
- 2:34:38through the door here like Evan Neal has kind of run its course,
- 2:34:43right? It is what it is.
- 2:34:46We're not really going anywhere there.
- 2:34:48And yeah, I mean, Marcus Voe's a good young player, but he's a
- 2:34:52fifth round pick. He's not going to just save the
- 2:34:54line and make you magically better.
- 2:34:56So yeah, they're going to need these guys to play better to
- 2:34:59some degree. And look, I agree with you.
- 2:35:02It's not going to magically become a really good line, but
- 2:35:05they can be better than what they were the other day.
- 2:35:08And they they obviously need that because otherwise
- 2:35:12everybody's going to be gone. Because that was hard to watch.
- 2:35:16It was a non functioning offense, which is really, and
- 2:35:20this is the biggest problem about it.
- 2:35:21It was a continuation of the of of last year and the year before
- 2:35:25that. So you're sitting there most
- 2:35:27teams, you you play really crappy in week one, right?
- 2:35:30And you just be like, OK, it's week 1.
- 2:35:34Let's see that. We'll give them some time.
- 2:35:35They can get better. You know, we don't expect them
- 2:35:37to come in and week 1 and degrade right away.
- 2:35:40But with the Giants and the situation there and offensively,
- 2:35:43you're just like, God darn it, Like that was the same garbage
- 2:35:48we saw last. Year it was worse, didn't do
- 2:35:50anything now it's. The same thing it was.
- 2:35:51Worse, it was worse it was worse.
- 2:35:55It was embarrassing on National. Television and they scored six
- 2:35:58points, so yes, it was worse. They scored six points because
- 2:36:02it was like Olay, the Commanders.
- 2:36:04The Commanders absolutely dominated defensively, but they
- 2:36:06were like, go ahead, run it in. We'll get we'll, we'll give you
- 2:36:09a touchdown. All right, We'll give you 1.
- 2:36:10They didn't even get it, though. I didn't.
- 2:36:12Even get the. I know, I know.
- 2:36:13At least it wasn't 2020. It was 2. 41 to three or
- 2:36:16something to Dallas on one. Thing you don't give him credit.
- 2:36:19They scored zero in that game. Was 40 to nothing.
- 2:36:21I was 40. That's.
- 2:36:23True. I want to move on to the running
- 2:36:25back usage because a lot of fans were excited about Cam Scatterbo
- 2:36:28out of the draft. Tyrone Tracy, obviously they've
- 2:36:30had some good moments last year as a rookie running back and
- 2:36:33obviously they still have Devin Singletary there, but he's kind
- 2:36:36of been more of a pass catching guy.
- 2:36:37Like you see this kind of thing being like more of a Tracy still
- 2:36:40backfield. You think Scatabo emerges?
- 2:36:41If so, when and like what do you think the roles will be like for
- 2:36:44all these guys? Yeah, this sounds like a super
- 2:36:46fantasy question here, right? And I I'm all for fantasies.
- 2:36:50I don't have any. One of those guys so I'm it's.
- 2:36:51Not yeah, I know, but that's what people like.
- 2:36:53That's what people want to know about them, right?
- 2:36:55That's why they want to know it. And I'm a big fantasy guy, so I
- 2:36:58I totally, I understand that. I give people that information
- 2:37:01all the time because I know exactly this is what they're
- 2:37:03looking for. But yeah, I think it's a little
- 2:37:05slowly but surely that's what's going to happen.
- 2:37:08You're going to see more Cam Scataboo.
- 2:37:10He was injured, so he really didn't practice a lot in the
- 2:37:14month leading up to the regular season, but he's been healthy
- 2:37:17the last few weeks. I think we're going to see him
- 2:37:19get a little bit more involved each week.
- 2:37:22I still think it's Tyrone Tracy's show until it's not
- 2:37:26until he proves he can't be the guy.
- 2:37:29But I do also expect Cam Scataboo to start getting a
- 2:37:34bigger role. I think a 70 to 30 split or
- 2:37:37maybe like 6020 and then Devin Singletary throw him in there
- 2:37:41for like a 1010%. Like that's where it's headed.
- 2:37:44It's going to be primarily Tracy, but with Scataboo
- 2:37:47sprinkled in their third downs. He saw what he could do as a
- 2:37:50blocker there. He catches the ball really well.
- 2:37:52I think that's kind of where he'll he'll make his mark as as
- 2:37:55like a third down passing down back for the most part this
- 2:37:59year. Yeah, Jordan, you touched on on
- 2:38:02Dart a little bit and we've kind of touched on this a little bit
- 2:38:05and we're I think kind of in agreeance, but we're not if and
- 2:38:10when they do. And like you said, it's, it's
- 2:38:12how much trust do they have or faith in their job or whatever
- 2:38:16if and when they do it, How many games do you think it'll take
- 2:38:18for them to either, I guess, put them in or be like, hey, we're
- 2:38:22just going to ride this out and see what Russ can do?
- 2:38:24We kind of, what was it, 5 games is kind of what we said.
- 2:38:27I think 5 games. Yeah, to to at least get into
- 2:38:30that point and then. Well, that's my over under, I
- 2:38:33think. I think five games.
- 2:38:35Well, Game 5 is is New Orleans. If you want like a soft landing
- 2:38:39spot, that would be it, right? That's the easiest.
- 2:38:42You can't have an easier game. I mean, I guess it could be
- 2:38:44home, but New Orleans, it's OK. New Orleans is the team, yeah.
- 2:38:49It's OK. We're facing Errol's favorite
- 2:38:50quarterback that week. Yeah, he's not my favorite.
- 2:38:53He's definitely not. I want to choke him.
- 2:38:55That's the one I want to do. I'm a clothesline.
- 2:38:57I can't stand him, Spencer. Rattles But yeah, look, we're
- 2:39:00we're talking about Jackson Dart here.
- 2:39:02And it'll be very difficult for them to be patient.
- 2:39:04If things are going poorly, they would like to ride out Russ.
- 2:39:07I think in an ideal world, they would like to win games with
- 2:39:11Russell Wilson as the quarterback and have him play
- 2:39:14well. But is he going to play well?
- 2:39:16Like, can he play to the level they need it?
- 2:39:19If he doesn't play well this week, do they panic?
- 2:39:23Do they want to come home? Have Russell Wilson come for
- 2:39:25their home opener? Have the fans sitting there
- 2:39:29demoralized, upset, Whatever it is.
- 2:39:33You tell me. Russell Wilson get booed if they
- 2:39:36play terrible and they come in. Owen, too.
- 2:39:38And the home opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on a Sunday
- 2:39:40night. I don't.
- 2:39:41Want to see Russell Wilson and I don't want to see Jackson Dart
- 2:39:44because I like Jackson Dart. He's gonna get killed.
- 2:39:47The giants get killed. He is going to get killed.
- 2:39:49So here's. What I'll say, and I know the
- 2:39:51obvious and you're like, OK, then just they should put in
- 2:39:54Jameis Swinson if it doesn't work.
- 2:39:55I'd rather watch him play, at least.
- 2:39:57We'll see. What do they call the?
- 2:39:59What do they call them? The sombreros?
- 2:40:01What do they call them? The three amigos?
- 2:40:03I'd rather see more. Than cut now though well.
- 2:40:05I don't care. The two amigos go ahead.
- 2:40:07I'm sorry, Jordan. The thing is, you're saying, and
- 2:40:09I know where you're going there, it makes sense, just go to
- 2:40:12Jameis Swinson if that's the case.
- 2:40:13Well, I think we're already past that point because by making
- 2:40:16Jackson Dart the number 2 quarterback, the backup
- 2:40:19quarterback this past week, right, The Giants already said
- 2:40:22if Russell Wilson got hurt in the first quarter and he just
- 2:40:25stepped on somebody's foot, we felt that good enough that we
- 2:40:29were going to throw Jackson Dart into the game in the middle of
- 2:40:32his first, in the middle of a game for his first career game
- 2:40:35without really preparing. Because the backup quarterback
- 2:40:38for the Giants doesn't really get any first two team reps gets
- 2:40:41like a few a handful, maybe at most one or two probably of live
- 2:40:47reps during the week with the first team offense.
- 2:40:49So they were already willing to throw them in in that situation.
- 2:40:52You're bet your but they're going to throw them in there if
- 2:40:56they want to put in a starter. And it's not going to be Jameis
- 2:40:58Smith. I'd be I'd be really surprised
- 2:41:00if somehow they switched and said, hey, we're going to go
- 2:41:03start. Jameis Smithson went, by the
- 2:41:04way, we would have put Jackson Dart in the middle of the game
- 2:41:07if we had to 1st, 1st career, you know, appearance Jordan.
- 2:41:10Jordan, Jordan. Jordan, the Giants organization
- 2:41:14is an absolute joke. You're going to put your
- 2:41:17franchise quarterback, which you moved up all the way into the
- 2:41:21first round to land. You have no offensive line.
- 2:41:25You have a young, you have a pretty good defense.
- 2:41:28I mean you have Abdul Carter looks like he is.
- 2:41:31He's going to be the real deal. You have sexy Dexy.
- 2:41:35You have obviously Kevon Thibodau that actually played
- 2:41:38well. That's great.
- 2:41:39And and you had it secondary that that's wonderful.
- 2:41:41This team has no offense of line.
- 2:41:44And then you're going to sell me.
- 2:41:45The Giants are going to sell me right now that if Russell Wilson
- 2:41:48goes down, I'm going to put my future franchise quarterback in
- 2:41:54with this garbage. What are you trying to sell?
- 2:41:57This is the same New York Giant team with Joe Shane on Hard
- 2:42:01Knocks to throw his running back under the bus.
- 2:42:07Saquon Barkley, who by the way, goes to the Eagles, takes his
- 2:42:12money and goes and rides, almost breaks the running back record
- 2:42:16and wins the Super Bowl that year.
- 2:42:17Come on, man. This is a team that has not done
- 2:42:20the right thing and you're not doing the right thing to Jackson
- 2:42:23Tard putting him in harm's way. But if what did you?
- 2:42:25Just say you said this team doesn't do the right thing, So
- 2:42:28what do you think they're going to do?
- 2:42:29All of a sudden they're going to do the right.
- 2:42:30Thing. You know what?
- 2:42:30I'd rather the wrong. I'd rather.
- 2:42:32Do the wrong, they're going to do the wrong thing and they're
- 2:42:35going to put them in there in a bad situation because they're
- 2:42:38worried about their jobs because they were already brought back
- 2:42:40and that's the situation they're in.
- 2:42:42And look, I might not think it's the right move.
- 2:42:44You might not think it's the right move, but this is the
- 2:42:47situation they're in. And I honestly, can you even
- 2:42:50begrudge them? They're trying to save their
- 2:42:51jobs in this situation. If they're they can't, they
- 2:42:54can't go one in six to start the season, right?
- 2:42:58Or one in five. One in like the season will go
- 2:43:01off the rails. They can't afford that.
- 2:43:03They just went 3 and 14. This is the situation the Giants
- 2:43:06put themselves in. Yeah, I got an idea.
- 2:43:08I I got the perfect idea. Right now, let's call Joe
- 2:43:11Shane's son. That's what we should do.
- 2:43:14Let's ask him. Why don't we ask Joe, Shane's
- 2:43:17son what he should do? That guy.
- 2:43:19I'm sorry. I know you right.
- 2:43:21Who wanted? His son's the one who wanted.
- 2:43:24Yes, Jayden Daniels. So he, he might the son might
- 2:43:28be, he might know what he's doing.
- 2:43:29Yeah. Well, I'd rather.
- 2:43:31GM in 20. Years.
- 2:43:32If I was a if I was a giant fan, that's what I do.
- 2:43:34I just go and ask, you know, I'd go ask Joe Shane, son, I.
- 2:43:38He's a good high school quarterback.
- 2:43:39I know I heard I heard to me, if I know giant fans want to sit
- 2:43:43here and and we love by the way, I love what you do with ESPN.
- 2:43:47You're a great writer. You're one of the best beat
- 2:43:49writers for the New York Giants. And I'm not trying to I'm not
- 2:43:52trying to blow your head. I'm I'm being serious.
- 2:43:53I and when we, when we knew we were going to get John on, I
- 2:43:57want to give you a little bit of props there and respect because
- 2:43:59of what you've done over the last couple of years for the New
- 2:44:01York Giants. The Giants are more successful
- 2:44:03than the New York Jets as I am a Jet fan and and I do root the
- 2:44:07Eagles on too. But the fact is when you're
- 2:44:10sitting here today, yes, I am an Eagle.
- 2:44:12I grew up a Donovan McNabb fan, so I, The Jets always suck.
- 2:44:15So I rooted, I rooted for Donovan McNabb.
- 2:44:18So yeah, I root for the Eagles, even though I'm not one of those
- 2:44:20fans that are going to go out there.
- 2:44:22Weird combination. I'm a weird person bro, you got.
- 2:44:26This is a weird. Combination listen, you know, I,
- 2:44:29I could throw a ball and hit it out, you know, hit it out of the
- 2:44:32park if I really want to as Jabba, you know, there's Jabba
- 2:44:35shaking his head. But I the fact here is if you're
- 2:44:38a Giant fan today and we have a lot of Giant fans that listen to
- 2:44:41the show, you can't be excited or happy what this team is doing
- 2:44:44after game #1 the only thing you could be excited for is Abdul
- 2:44:49Carter looks like the real deal. And you have the probably you
- 2:44:52can argue the best defensive lineman and all the football on
- 2:44:55Dexter Lawrence. Besides that, Malik Neighbors is
- 2:44:58regressed. I'm sorry, I know it's game one,
- 2:45:00but are we going to trust? We've seen this before.
- 2:45:04We've seen this hockey Knicks. Wasn't he a high draft pick?
- 2:45:07How long did it take hockey Knicks to fall out of, you know,
- 2:45:10out of thought? Victor Cruz, I know he was
- 2:45:12undrafted player, the guy. Was those guys are injury
- 2:45:15related Actually Odell was too there like yes, he.
- 2:45:18Was Malik neighbors when he came into the league?
- 2:45:20He was injury related, was he not?
- 2:45:21No, I'm just saying unless something happens to Malik
- 2:45:23neighbors, dude, he's going. I'm telling you, mark it down.
- 2:45:26Write it down right now. Come back to me in three years
- 2:45:29unless something happens. So the league neighbors health
- 2:45:32wise? Dude, it's going to be a stutter
- 2:45:34receiver. I'm not saying that he's not.
- 2:45:35I like Malik neighbors. He's really good and look, he's
- 2:45:38going to need the right situation in the right
- 2:45:40quarterback and they better hope it's Jackson Dart.
- 2:45:42And if Jackson Dart's any good, him and Malik neighbors will
- 2:45:45light it up. I'm.
- 2:45:45Telling you we. Just got to hope that Greg Van
- 2:45:47Roten doesn't speak out about Jackson Dart like he did about
- 2:45:50Zach Wilson. Craig Craig is van Smelly.
- 2:45:54That guy just needs to shut his mouth.
- 2:45:56I mean, honestly, my shoes, I spray it with Lysol to take the
- 2:45:59stench away. I don't know if I can spray him
- 2:46:02with Lysol to get him away. That guy stinks like horse.
- 2:46:05You know what all the crap that those Eagle fans were eating on
- 2:46:08the side roads when they went to the.
- 2:46:10Stuff that scared away Kenyon Barter.
- 2:46:12Kenyon Barter was on a show and I told him he didn't even know
- 2:46:14they were eating horse crap. OK, I I to honest to God, that's
- 2:46:19what Greg Roden is. He's a horse crap who shouldn't
- 2:46:21even be playing for the New York Giants.
- 2:46:23Just saying all. Right.
- 2:46:23I'll move on to Jackson Dart himself.
- 2:46:25Like what if, like as a draft prospect, I kind of thought of
- 2:46:28him as a guy that was good at throwing on the run,
- 2:46:29intermediate throws, but still kind of raw with the shorter
- 2:46:31throws. What did you see throughout in
- 2:46:33training camp in the preseason from his growth and what the
- 2:46:36coaching staff has emphasized with him even whenever he ends
- 2:46:39up starting? You see a guy who could who has
- 2:46:41pretty good arm strength and especially when he was in games,
- 2:46:44I thought in the preseason, like watching him every day at
- 2:46:47practice, I thought he actually threw the ball, even he had a
- 2:46:49little extra zip on it in the preseason.
- 2:46:52But what you've noticed about Jackson Dart when you start
- 2:46:55watching every day is more mobile than you.
- 2:46:57Then you realize and he's big and he's physical and he you
- 2:47:01know, he's going to want to try to run you over, which you know,
- 2:47:04it's not always the greatest idea in the NFL.
- 2:47:06Like he tried to run over a linebacker and the pre season
- 2:47:10and next thing you know he's getting checked for a
- 2:47:11concussion, right. You probably want to avoid that
- 2:47:14in the NFL. It's one thing to try to run
- 2:47:16over linebackers in college. It's another thing to do in the
- 2:47:18NFL, But he's actually mobile and he's you could tell he's
- 2:47:22pretty talented and that that's kind of what stood out to me.
- 2:47:25He run, you run that you know the zone read type stuff to the
- 2:47:30multi, you know the the multi option stuff with him where he
- 2:47:35he basically can hold it or or throw it.
- 2:47:37Like that's the kind of offense I think you're going to see
- 2:47:40right? And look, think about it for a
- 2:47:42second. Brian Davis loved, I love, love,
- 2:47:45love Jayden Daniels. So I think when all said and
- 2:47:49done, the Giants would, if in an optimal world, like to run an
- 2:47:53offense like they run in Washington with for Jaden
- 2:47:57Daniels and that kind of fits. I don't think Jackson darts as
- 2:48:01good an athlete. Obviously Jaden Daniels was a
- 2:48:04top two pick, right? And there's a reason why he was
- 2:48:07a top two pick and dart was what, 25th?
- 2:48:10But he does have some of that to him, a lot more athleticism,
- 2:48:14obviously, than a guy like Russell Wilson has at this point
- 2:48:17in his career. Yeah.
- 2:48:20So as as we've kind of covered everything, realistically, what
- 2:48:23do you think the number of wins for this team is going to be?
- 2:48:27From the start was always at like 6.
- 2:48:29I know you watched that game the other day and you're like, can
- 2:48:31they even get the six? I mean, if they play the way
- 2:48:35they did offensively in that game, it doesn't get better.
- 2:48:37Yeah, they're they're, I'll have to.
- 2:48:39It probably won't get the six, but I, I think that's a good
- 2:48:42number somewhere around there. Their schedule's tough.
- 2:48:45They'll win some games because their defense plays well and
- 2:48:48they do just enough offensively hit a big play here or there.
- 2:48:53But I, I think that's kind of what this team is.
- 2:48:55And you know, I, I, I, there are avenues where they're
- 2:48:59significantly worse, which we saw the other day.
- 2:49:01We're talking to a Giants beat writer.
- 2:49:04We are talking to ESPNNFL Nations Giants reporter Jordan
- 2:49:08Ronan. I, I before we go, and I.
- 2:49:10I I need to know what's your, what's your win total prediction
- 2:49:14for the Giants? Oh, actually before game #1I, it
- 2:49:18could have went either way. I think the Giants win six
- 2:49:20games. That's where where I think they
- 2:49:22are. I think there are 6 win team.
- 2:49:24I, I think the problem is, is their offensive line.
- 2:49:26It's, it's really bad. And I, I think that the team I
- 2:49:31know, everybody keeps talking about their running game and and
- 2:49:33they love Scatabo. Everybody loves him.
- 2:49:35When they got when they got when they had a chance to draft him,
- 2:49:38everybody was like, oh, I can't believe we got Tam Scatabo later
- 2:49:41in the rounds. Great.
- 2:49:43I don't know if the Giants really have a #1 running back.
- 2:49:47I think they're all number twos and Devon Singletary.
- 2:49:50I mean, nobody wants the guy. I mean, let's be honest, what do
- 2:49:53they call motor? What do they call him?
- 2:49:55The only motor he has is the old one in his pants.
- 2:49:58That's about it. The fact here is when I look at
- 2:50:02this team, they don't have a predominant #1 running back.
- 2:50:05They have the league neighbor. They have a number one wide
- 2:50:08receiver. Who's their number two?
- 2:50:10You're going to bet on Hyatt or, and I know Robinson had a pretty
- 2:50:13good game, but are you going to trust that that guy's going to
- 2:50:15stay healthy? And that's good.
- 2:50:17Let's stop calling Darius Slayton the Odell Beckham of
- 2:50:21these times. He's not.
- 2:50:22He's not. He's their number 2 receiver.
- 2:50:24They paid him as a number 2. When you throw one pass in this
- 2:50:28direction, it's hard to do damage.
- 2:50:30He got one pass, one pass the other day one.
- 2:50:34That's because they know he stinks. $12 million a year, one
- 2:50:37pass. I don't think he stinks.
- 2:50:40I actually think he could be a quality player.
- 2:50:42He's not a great player, though. They have one great player.
- 2:50:44In offense. Yeah.
- 2:50:45You're right. Neighbors, his neighbors.
- 2:50:46Neighbors. That's it really neighbors.
- 2:50:48And that's what's that's scary. If you're a giant fan, you got
- 2:50:51to scare. And if I was Jackson Dart, am I
- 2:50:53going to want to walk into this flame and and know that I'm
- 2:50:56going to burn. I I'm going out there and I'm
- 2:50:58going to say I'm going to save the New York Giants.
- 2:51:01That's what when Eli Manning came and if you remember, Kurt
- 2:51:05Warner was they had a winning record and Kurt, that was Kurt
- 2:51:08Warner. This is a Hall of Fame
- 2:51:10quarterback. He took of an.
- 2:51:12S and they had Michael Strahan, they had OCU Mayor, they had
- 2:51:16some great players, great Kiwanuka.
- 2:51:18This was a good defense and and and just very talented and they
- 2:51:23actually had a running game because they also had Tiki
- 2:51:26Barber. What the hell do they have here?
- 2:51:28There's nothing here that tells me holy crap, this team scares
- 2:51:33me. The only thing I'm scared for is
- 2:51:35Dabel, because Dabel's going to be looking for a job.
- 2:51:38He's going to be on the shopping list and Joe Shane, let's be
- 2:51:41honest, his drafts are up and down.
- 2:51:45Everybody keeps saying, well, this is a pretty good draft
- 2:51:47draft class that he had. Really, if you look at this
- 2:51:51draft classes, what has really stood out to you in any of the
- 2:51:54draft classes? He drafted this kid, I'm Theo
- 2:51:58Johnson. Have we really seen him break
- 2:52:01out yet? Malik Neighbors is a thing.
- 2:52:03Jackson, don't we have to find out what he is?
- 2:52:05Jalen Hyatt, he really hasn't been anything.
- 2:52:07Dexter Lawrence wasn't his guy. Brian Burns, he brought in free
- 2:52:11agency. Kevon Thibodeau, You know what
- 2:52:14Evan Neal is? This is not been a draft.
- 2:52:16He's not been a good drafter. At least Joe Douglas we could
- 2:52:19say the man drafts well. This guy hasn't done crap, crap,
- 2:52:23crap, and he decided to part ways with their best player in
- 2:52:27Saquon Barkley. Yes, I'm not a Giant fan, but I
- 2:52:30have some attitude and if I was a Giant fan, I would do this to
- 2:52:34Joe Shane. I would be the Hulk Hogan of Joe
- 2:52:37Shane. I take him and bend him and bend
- 2:52:39him in all different, you know, metal figures and throw him out.
- 2:52:43Guy stinks. All right.
- 2:52:44That's all I'm going to say about that.
- 2:52:46After you do that to Spencer. Radler because I know you want
- 2:52:47to do that first. I'm sorry.
- 2:52:48I had to. I had to do that, you know, as a
- 2:52:50jet fan. Oh, there he is.
- 2:52:52There's the idiot. There he is.
- 2:52:54I I just I honestly, man, I if I was a giant fan, I wouldn't be
- 2:52:57happy with this organization. This is.
- 2:52:59I mean that of. Course you're not going to be
- 2:53:01happy with the organization they've been bad now for the
- 2:53:03better part of. You know. 12 years.
- 2:53:06Now I'm a Jet fan, it's been 15 for me.
- 2:53:08I know, I know, Jets. Jets fan is a tough lifetime.
- 2:53:13Oh, thank you. Thank you, Jordan.
- 2:53:15Thank you. Make me just make it worse for
- 2:53:17me. Make me feel even worse about
- 2:53:20my. But guess what?
- 2:53:21I got a pretty good offensive line, buddy.
- 2:53:23That's a pretty good offensive line.
- 2:53:25Start. That's a start.
- 2:53:27Just say. You're you're feeling good about
- 2:53:29your offensive line these days. I'm feeling good about my coach.
- 2:53:32Giant fans or not. I'm feeling good about my coach,
- 2:53:35Aaron Glenn. I, I, I'm taking him seriously.
- 2:53:38Bill. He's a Bill Parcells disciple.
- 2:53:40I love everything about Aaron Glenn and I think that The Jets
- 2:53:43are moving in the right direction.
- 2:53:46We'll see what the quarterback is in the future.
- 2:53:48Is it Justin Fields or do they go somewhere else in the draft?
- 2:53:52But you know what, Jordan, you're doing so much great work
- 2:53:56and and for the Giants. I want to get you on probably
- 2:54:00and I jobber would agree with me probably towards the tail end of
- 2:54:04the season, not at the end of the season.
- 2:54:06We'll see where the Giants at or maybe 10 games and we'd love to
- 2:54:09get you on to see your thoughts. Let's do it and and and maybe
- 2:54:13we'll talk about a different Giant team.
- 2:54:15Maybe we. Are maybe.
- 2:54:16But you know what? We'll be talking about the
- 2:54:18Jackson Dart era. That's what we're talking.
- 2:54:21About ABBA, let's talk about the gremlin Travis, the gremlin
- 2:54:23hunter. Let's talk about that idiot, how
- 2:54:26bad he is. By the way, I told you and you,
- 2:54:29you can book this. Remember this from, from the
- 2:54:31great one over here. I told everybody when the
- 2:54:34Jacksonville Jaguars moved up at #2 there he is.
- 2:54:37I called him the Kremlin. He calls himself the Unicorn.
- 2:54:39I got my jersey already for him. I said this guy's not going to
- 2:54:43last more than seven years in the NFL.
- 2:54:45He will not have an interception as a corner this year and he'll
- 2:54:48have maybe 3 touchdowns. He's not even going to break 700
- 2:54:51yards. I'm going to tell you this right
- 2:54:53now, he is one of the biggest bust Heisman Trophy winners of
- 2:54:57all time. You can book it sail away like
- 2:55:01Christopher Cross said as he sang it away when it goes all
- 2:55:05the way to the record books as I was right about the one and only
- 2:55:08ground there. Himself.
- 2:55:11There you go, Jordan. We love you all.
- 2:55:13Right, let's book it. I'll see you.
- 2:55:14I'll see you in Week 10. Looks good, sounds good.
- 2:55:18You're good. Good.
- 2:55:19Keep Roddy baby we love. You appreciate it, fellas.
- 2:55:21Jordan and Ron on it it it it's it's great.
- 2:55:24He's great. Everything's great.
- 2:55:26What a sale, Giant fans, did I sell you enough?
- 2:55:30You should love my takes about the New York Giants.
- 2:55:33Don't hate on me. I was just trying to help I how
- 2:55:36could you not like that interview?
- 2:55:37I gave a good interview that was a good.
- 2:55:39One, I love the interview. I don't like your takes about
- 2:55:41the Giants. They they stink.
- 2:55:43There's nothing. Doesn't mean I have to love it
- 2:55:45if even if it's correct. Well, I was just being honest.
- 2:55:49I mean, if you're a giant fan and you're going to bet on.
- 2:55:51Lie to me, Errol, Lie to me. Tell me it's going to be all
- 2:55:55right. Here's what the Giants should do
- 2:55:57when Breece Hall becomes a free agent.
- 2:55:59That's who they should be jumping on.
- 2:56:00Oh they love doing. They love doing that.
- 2:56:02They love side of the ex Jets player.
- 2:56:03If If I were the Giants in the offseason, if Breece Hall
- 2:56:06becomes available, which he probably will, that's who I go
- 2:56:10after if I'm the New York. Giant Eliza Farrah Tucker.
- 2:56:13Too. Just saying.
- 2:56:14Just saying, I'm helping you out, Giant fans.
- 2:56:16Think about got it, Bree. Saul becomes a free agent.
- 2:56:19That's the guy you want, and he gets to stay in New York and he
- 2:56:23still gets to play at MetLife. That's all I'm saying, ladies
- 2:56:25and gentlemen. They love doing that.
- 2:56:26They did that with Lawrence Cage or CJT, Simone's favorite
- 2:56:29player. They did that with Jason
- 2:56:30Pinnock. Why not?
- 2:56:31What's next? I, I just want to say something
- 2:56:33about this story, this podcast, all right?
- 2:56:37Silver spoke about Kawhi Leonard today and I, I was talking to
- 2:56:41you about it. I was watching, I was running on
- 2:56:44my treadmill, yes, job. I was doing cardio.
- 2:56:47I was enjoying myself. And I got a chance to see the
- 2:56:50one and only ugly Adam Silver with his big ears, his big nose
- 2:56:53and his ugly look. All right, He looks like Mr. Ed,
- 2:56:57All right, that's what he looks like.
- 2:56:58And there was some interesting things he said at his press
- 2:57:01conference. You guys ready to hear this?
- 2:57:02Because I think this is absolutely ridiculous.
- 2:57:05I frankly never heard of a company called Aspirations
- 2:57:08before, and I never heard a whiff of anything around
- 2:57:14endorsement deals for Kawhi or anything around engagement with
- 2:57:19the Los Angeles Clippers. So it was all new to me.
- 2:57:23I heard it, I saw something and followed up with information.
- 2:57:27So this is this is what the commissioner of the NBA comes
- 2:57:33out. He wants us to believe he knew
- 2:57:36nothing about aspirations. He's never even heard of the
- 2:57:39company aspirations. Hold on.
- 2:57:42I got more for you guys because the owner spoke out too, which
- 2:57:45is very interesting. These were these are guys who
- 2:57:49committed fraud, Ballmer said. Look, they conned me.
- 2:57:53They conned me. I made an investment in these
- 2:57:57guys thinking it was on and up and up and they conned me.
- 2:58:02At this stage, I have no ability to predict why they might have
- 2:58:07done anything they did, let alone specific contracts with
- 2:58:10Kawhi. So what Boomer saying is that
- 2:58:14aspirations conned him for investing into their company but
- 2:58:18he doesn't know why anybody believes that him using
- 2:58:22aspirations and investing into them.
- 2:58:24They were getting money or investing money from the
- 2:58:27aspirations to go to Kawhi. Are you kidding me?
- 2:58:31What stupidity do you do you really think that we're that
- 2:58:34dumb? Do you really think that as a
- 2:58:37media guys or broadcasters, you think we're that stupid?
- 2:58:40I honestly and Adam Silver, stop it.
- 2:58:43Stop going out there. You want to protect your your
- 2:58:46owners and then you want to protect the players.
- 2:58:48And then when when it comes to ownership and they open their
- 2:58:50mouths, you throw the owners on the bus to protect the players
- 2:58:53because those are superstars that are putting fannies in the
- 2:58:55seats. You are an idiot, Adam Silver.
- 2:58:58You're a complete Jackass. And to go out there on national
- 2:59:01television to report this just tells me you're clueless as a
- 2:59:06commissioner, absolutely clueless on what's going on with
- 2:59:10you've never heard of aspirations when it was on the
- 2:59:13jerseys. How do you not see it on the
- 2:59:16jerseys? Are you that blind?
- 2:59:18Are you, are you that dumb? I mean, seriously, you got to be
- 2:59:23stupid and you're going to go out there and tell the fans,
- 2:59:26well, I don't know what aspirations are.
- 2:59:28I never, ever heard of it. You're an idiot, Jackass,
- 2:59:31dumbass. That's all I'm going to say
- 2:59:33about that. Errol, they would have been fine
- 2:59:37if Kawhi Leonard just had to do a commercial, say global warming
- 2:59:42is real, have aspirations to make the environment a better
- 2:59:46place, did APSA, that's what his salary is for, and then they
- 2:59:51wouldn't have done anything. Yeah, it went from no show to
- 2:59:54like, Oh yeah, he got paid so much to do so little.
- 2:59:58But yeah, it's I guess you kind of relate it to name image
- 3:00:02likeness. It's like, yeah, you can pay him
- 3:00:04whatever you want, but. It would have really been easy
- 3:00:07for them just to or have somebody fake go on.
- 3:00:10I I don't think he has social media, but just do something to
- 3:00:14where like he like put a sign out a billboard or something
- 3:00:18like that's you. It's not like you had to do a
- 3:00:20lot it. Yeah, I didn't he Silver did not
- 3:00:23help himself by any means and he he never does.
- 3:00:26But yeah, it's they literally didn't have to do much to make
- 3:00:30this basically be swept under the rug.
- 3:00:33Aspirations. I've never even heard of it.
- 3:00:35What the Hell's aspirations? I've never heard of the company.
- 3:00:39I don't even know what they invested.
- 3:00:41And then you have Ballmer Co out there and throw it under the bus
- 3:00:44like, Oh yeah, they conned me. They conned me so.
- 3:00:48They said he conned him and then he only had like what he said he
- 3:00:50only had like 5% ownership or something like that.
- 3:00:53It was the how do you go up there on television and then the
- 3:00:57owner comes out? Don't you speak to the owner
- 3:01:00before you go and speak in front of the media?
- 3:01:02What are you, you an idiot? You have to be an idiot.
- 3:01:08This guy is the commissioner Disney wanted to make in the
- 3:01:11CEO. ESPN is buying the WWE and the
- 3:01:16NFL Network and they're going to leave this guy in charge.
- 3:01:20What a joke. I guys, I know everybody's going
- 3:01:24to say, well, you shouldn't be throwing any of the
- 3:01:25commissioners under the bus if you want to work for any of
- 3:01:28these organizations. Listen, if I sat down with this,
- 3:01:31any kind of CEO or commissioners or anything, are you going to
- 3:01:34tell me that I have to kiss your ass to tell you how
- 3:01:38dysfunctional you are as a commissioner and how the league
- 3:01:41should be run? You should already know how the
- 3:01:44league should be run. David Stern gave you a freaking
- 3:01:48league at the time that was at a growing standpoint.
- 3:01:53He left when LeBron James was, what, four years?
- 3:01:56Five years in it and now. And that was the guy that they
- 3:02:00left the league to. And he was, he's a superstar
- 3:02:02player. Michael Jordan, then him, and
- 3:02:05before that it was Larry Byrne and Magic Johnson.
- 3:02:08Before that, who was it? Kareem Abdul Jabbar and then and
- 3:02:11then Will Chamberlain and Bill Russell and on and on and on.
- 3:02:14Let's be honest, when you sit here and you look at I'm silver,
- 3:02:18besides his ugly ears and his big nose and his ugly glasses
- 3:02:21and his horse look alike face, I can't sit here and take this man
- 3:02:26for any serious notion that this man knows what he's doing.
- 3:02:30And to go out there and make himself look like a complete
- 3:02:32fool on national television. A joke.
- 3:02:37It's a joke. I'm done.
- 3:02:39Maybe. He is the tell it.
- 3:02:40Maybe he is the. Brain let me write a book about.
- 3:02:43It maybe it's the brain of a horse too, the way he's
- 3:02:45speaking. Well, I I will say this, Sean
- 3:02:51Smith, I I know fish is trying to find some schmoen.
- 3:02:54Smith So I wanted him to find the Sean Smith Aristoreographic
- 3:02:57for my What's that? Smith So I'll go back to Sean
- 3:03:00Smith and and I don't care if Sean Smith is listening and he
- 3:03:02probably isn't because he's a Jackass.
- 3:03:04I want to say something. I I got to say this and I I want
- 3:03:08him. I I, you can, we can send this
- 3:03:10tape to Sean Smith. Sean Smith would be a better
- 3:03:14commissioner than Adam Silver. You know why?
- 3:03:17Because at least Sean Smith, that Jackass would be out there
- 3:03:22and about smoking his marijuana, driving his car and showing
- 3:03:26himself to be a Jackass when he's putting himself and his
- 3:03:29family at risk. Than Adam Silver going out there
- 3:03:32and speaking about the league and telling everybody that he's
- 3:03:35never heard of an organization or a company when it was on
- 3:03:38their freaking teams. Jersey 2 idiots.
- 3:03:40I would take Sean Smith running the the BA, then freaking Adam
- 3:03:45Silver, because both guys are jackasses.
- 3:03:47There's just one's more of big of a Jackass than the other.
- 3:03:50So that's all I'm going to say. And Sean Smith, you can kiss my
- 3:03:53ass. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 3:03:54what we got here? What are we going?
- 3:03:56What's sugar? We got some baseball, Errol.
- 3:03:58Jabba, don't worry him. Jabba, don't worry.
- 3:04:00I'll take it. You don't have to worry about
- 3:04:03him. I got him.
- 3:04:04I got him. You can.
- 3:04:04We'll just tag team. I'll clothes like them.
- 3:04:06We'll put on the What was the Beastie Boys move?
- 3:04:09What was that Beastie Boys move? I'll pick him up and you
- 3:04:11clothesline them. What was that?
- 3:04:13What do they? Call it Beastie Boys.
- 3:04:15Not the Beastie Boys, the. The Dudley.
- 3:04:17The Dudley Boys. The 3D, the 3D, let's do the 3D
- 3:04:21on him. I was trying to think, you said
- 3:04:23Beastie Boys. I was like, what song is he
- 3:04:25trying to think about? Are we going to?
- 3:04:26Brass. No, your galactic.
- 3:04:28No, no, no sleep to Brooklyn. No sleep to Brooklyn.
- 3:04:31That's my song. Now, when is this going to
- 3:04:33happen? Soul no sleep to.
- 3:04:37Now the real question is this going to happen before or after
- 3:04:41you and Ryan Spader's tag team match against Rob Manfred?
- 3:04:45I don't care about that. I, I, I, I think me and Jabba
- 3:04:47versus Shawn Smith. I you know.
- 3:04:49But who's lifting? Eddie Van Halen on guitar on
- 3:04:52that album? Who's lifting?
- 3:04:53Shawn Smith up to do the to do the 3D.
- 3:04:55Are you lifting him up? I, I think I, I think I have a
- 3:04:57better chance of getting him from Rahan and picking him up
- 3:05:00with my SO. Jabba's doing the clothesline.
- 3:05:01I want Jabba to clothesline him. I think Jabba's a long.
- 3:05:04Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you talking about?
- 3:05:06The 3D is not a clothesline, it is a diamond cutter whatever off
- 3:05:11of a lift. Whatever.
- 3:05:13Come on, you're the wrestling fans.
- 3:05:15I don't. Come on Tommy, you're better
- 3:05:16than that. Whatever you could do the
- 3:05:18Diamond Cutter, I'll do the lifting, you'll do the cutter
- 3:05:22and then we'll splash them. We'll do the I'll do the Hulk
- 3:05:25Hogan leg drop, even though it was probably the worst finisher
- 3:05:28that. Was a bad finisher.
- 3:05:29So the Hulk Hogan leg drop, I mean.
- 3:05:31What? Hurt him physically to the point
- 3:05:34where he couldn't walk like that's you don't realize you
- 3:05:37drop on like your tailbone and on like your leg like that over
- 3:05:40and over again. That's going to do damage I saw.
- 3:05:43They say that one and the people's That and the people's
- 3:05:46elbow were two of the worst. Speaking of the, I mean the leg
- 3:05:49drop 2 fish. Matt Hardy remembers doing a leg
- 3:05:52drop off the top of a steel cage.
- 3:05:54He said that he walked like a 90 year old man like with a little
- 3:05:57kink in his step for like a whole two years after that.
- 3:06:00So it does. It does do some damage the the
- 3:06:03leg drop overall honestly. Let's rename the move called the
- 3:06:06shrink wrap. We'll call it the shrink wrap.
- 3:06:13There it is. That's your finishing move,
- 3:06:14Errol, the shrink wrap shrink. Wrap.
- 3:06:20That's the perfect I'm going to name my what?
- 3:06:22You do you get Saran wrap. You just find you find a guy,
- 3:06:25mess with Saran, wrap him to the turnbuckle mess.
- 3:06:28With me and I'll shrink wrap you.
- 3:06:30That's my extra. Finishing.
- 3:06:33Fish. On a side note, you.
- 3:06:34Actually, like Dexter. What was that Speedy?
- 3:06:39On a side note, you actually inadvertently just named Josh's
- 3:06:43final segment on his show. You're Better Than That.
- 3:06:45I need A and then. When they had their wrestling
- 3:06:48show, they finished it off with finishing move.
- 3:06:53Hey, listen, I you got to figure something.
- 3:06:56I like the shrink wrap. That's a pretty cool name
- 3:06:58actually. Who that is unique?
- 3:07:00You just invented it. It's organic.
- 3:07:03Yes, watch out, Sean Smith. I will shrink wrap ya.
- 3:07:07Yeah, I like the the little like the Vince McMahon voice.
- 3:07:11I will shrink wrap ya. You know, do that.
- 3:07:13Speedy, you got to drag shrink wrap ya.
- 3:07:16Now you sound like a killer. You know what?
- 3:07:18You are constipated, Speedy. Can you?
- 3:07:20Say that, can you say you're fired?
- 3:07:22Sounds like he's constipated, right?
- 3:07:24You're fired. That's a good cut right there.
- 3:07:31That is pretty good. Speedy, can you do any like good
- 3:07:34old Jr. by the way, like Jim Ross, Like can you give me
- 3:07:38through Hellfire and brimstone? It's cane, but say it's cane.
- 3:07:44It's Kane, or you know, it's a good one.
- 3:07:46You remember with when when Rikishi or when the Rock
- 3:07:50snapping a Kit Kat bar when the Rock shoved Vince Mcmahons face
- 3:07:54into Rikishi's ass. You hear Jermos Oh Lucifer's
- 3:07:57lips on the biggest ass in the WWF.
- 3:08:01Yum Yum. That's a good one.
- 3:08:03Its favorite wrestling drop? Is that what I'm hearing?
- 3:08:05Breaking news, butt plug. How's he all?
- 3:08:07All right, ladies and gentlemen, we call this inside baseball.
- 3:08:10Now let's go deep, deep inside what I am exciting.
- 3:08:15This is inside baseball. All right, guys, we got a few
- 3:08:20stories we kind of just threw together for you.
- 3:08:23There's a couple that we've been following.
- 3:08:24Goody was going to do it. He could not make it tonight.
- 3:08:27He's really shaken up by some of the stuff that happened today.
- 3:08:31I guess he was a really big fan. So I just wanted to shout out
- 3:08:34Goody right now. Let's get into some music for
- 3:08:36baseball. Tommy.
- 3:08:37Here it is. Big news.
- 3:08:41He blew his save, of course, because I'm starting him in the
- 3:08:43fantasy playoffs right now. But a role this Chapman has had
- 3:08:48a scoreless streak at 5050. Was it 50 straight job you got
- 3:08:54got this one for me. 50 straight for Chapman.
- 3:08:57Here it is. Yeah, fifty straight.
- 3:08:59Without a hit or a run. 50 straight batters, one, one hit.
- 3:09:05Chapman this year is the number one closer in baseball for the
- 3:09:10Red Sox. It's not particularly close.
- 3:09:12He is dominated this season. He's got a 114 ERA.
- 3:09:17He's vintage and maybe he's like a tick down.
- 3:09:19And he couldn't do that with the Yankees.
- 3:09:21What a joke. But he is dominating.
- 3:09:25He's the best closer in baseball this year.
- 3:09:27Can you believe at this point and look, we know what his
- 3:09:31truck, he's got a little bit of a checkered past, but the guy
- 3:09:33wins everywhere he goes and he's an excellent player.
- 3:09:37If he keeps doing it for a couple more years, there's going
- 3:09:39to have to be some real talks about him, you know?
- 3:09:42He's never going to the Hall of Fame because he won't.
- 3:09:45What he did, OK, it is an amazing story.
- 3:09:48But we all know and Jabba could tell you, relief pitchers come
- 3:09:51and then they go. They they have one good season
- 3:09:54and then they have a bad season. They have one good season and
- 3:09:56they have three bad seasons. It it's just, it's a nice story
- 3:10:00to hear that a Roltis Chapman playing in the American League
- 3:10:03East, one of the hardest divisions in all of baseball, is
- 3:10:06having one of his, probably one of his best seasons since
- 3:10:10Cincinnati, since the Cincinnati time.
- 3:10:12I just, it's, it's a great story.
- 3:10:14I could care less. It doesn't matter.
- 3:10:16The Red Sox aren't going nowhere.
- 3:10:18So it's it's worthless. What do you mean they're tied
- 3:10:20with the? Yanks.
- 3:10:21They're not. They're not going any.
- 3:10:22They're going to play in the playoffs.
- 3:10:24Who cares? They're not winning anything.
- 3:10:25It doesn't really matter, so it doesn't matter.
- 3:10:28I mean, they're a playoff team. They're not the freaking
- 3:10:31Sacramento A's, you know. They're.
- 3:10:33Not going. Why are they the?
- 3:10:35Scapegoat right now. Then you have the Rockies that
- 3:10:37are like 40 and 119 or whatever, but yeah.
- 3:10:40They're not selling me with Heraldus, Chapman.
- 3:10:42I'm not saying the Red Sox are going to like any like the make
- 3:10:45or break with anything is going to be with Heraldus, Chapman or
- 3:10:47any of the other. Really, you know what I want to
- 3:10:49do with Heraldus Chapman? I want my ass with him.
- 3:10:51I, I, he, he was with the Yankees.
- 3:10:53Yankees paid him so much money. Did absolutely nothing for the
- 3:10:56Yankees. I'm done.
- 3:10:58I don't wouldn't say he did nothing.
- 3:10:59He was they never really did they did they ever win with him?
- 3:11:03Did they ever win? Well, you know why they didn't
- 3:11:05win? Because Alcuve has got the
- 3:11:07buzzer going like this because he knows what pitch is coming or
- 3:11:10else he would have won. Did they win?
- 3:11:13That's fine. You could say that, but I would
- 3:11:15say that they Jabba, you're muted, but I definitely want to
- 3:11:19hear what you got to. Say no, I no.
- 3:11:20I just said they haven't won with anybody.
- 3:11:22That's what I'm saying, true. Fish, I want to mention this
- 3:11:25before Jabba goes to the Nationals might have just gone
- 3:11:27too good of an underdog run. You might have not beaten them
- 3:11:29anyway. I don't care.
- 3:11:30They took out the Brewers, the Dodgers and the and the
- 3:11:32Cardinals like and then cheating Astros team.
- 3:11:35Yeah, a roll. Just Chapman.
- 3:11:36What I do remember is when he went to the Cubs and he won a
- 3:11:39World Series and yeah, that was that was the last time that he
- 3:11:43actually pitched well in the playoffs.
- 3:11:45OK, That was the last time with the cops.
- 3:11:48I don't want to see him in the playoffs, do you?
- 3:11:51Right. Now, I don't want to see him in
- 3:11:54general. And literally they've came out
- 3:11:56and said this is this is legitimately the first year that
- 3:11:59he's been able. Why he's not throwing as hard is
- 3:12:02because he's tried to locate his fastball.
- 3:12:03And if you look at his fastball command and strike percentage,
- 3:12:06it's the best it's ever been because he just basically
- 3:12:09instead of just trying to throw out, which he's still throwing
- 3:12:12hard, but not as crazy hard as he has, but he still touched one
- 3:12:15O 4. But yeah, it's that's crazy to
- 3:12:19think about. Like, I don't care if you're 27,
- 3:12:22if you're 7 to not give up a hit or a run, like good for him.
- 3:12:28Whether you don't like him as a person, who cares?
- 3:12:30But that that's pretty impressive.
- 3:12:31But even and then when he was with New York, he averaged
- 3:12:34almost 30 saves other than the year that he was hurt.
- 3:12:37So it's not like he didn't wasn't good.
- 3:12:40He's very steady. He's he's going to compile
- 3:12:43enough numbers to be a top ten closer of all time.
- 3:12:47Breaking. News F1450 saves if he if he
- 3:12:50plays long enough. You realize he's the old day
- 3:12:53today. He's.
- 3:12:54A top ten closer of all time. That's what it means if you can
- 3:12:57have those numbers. I mean, we don't.
- 3:12:59I maybe you didn't think of him while you're watching it, but I
- 3:13:01think people would have said that, you know, growing up in
- 3:13:03the 70s watching some of the guys that got ahead too.
- 3:13:06So just wanted to bring that one up.
- 3:13:08We got another story here. Let's get into some Yankees.
- 3:13:12Let's not, please. Volpe sat today, says it's an
- 3:13:18ongoing saga. Here's Boone on the situation.
- 3:13:23They decided to sit him. He was hitting balls off a tee
- 3:13:25place at home plate. 1/2 hour later they announced the
- 3:13:29starting lineup and he's not in it by arrows in it.
- 3:13:32That sounds like it's weird that he was hidden like that, like I
- 3:13:35guess I thought he was playing, Boone says.
- 3:13:38We're in day-to-day mode, we're playing for a lot right now and
- 3:13:42I have a decision to make every day with the lineup, allegedly.
- 3:13:45I guess he has a decision to make with lineup and whatever
- 3:13:49tough decision I think that is, I'll make it.
- 3:13:51And my hope is that he can kind of get it going here to a point
- 3:13:54where he's that guy. Because I think when we're at
- 3:13:57our best, he's out there impacting us on both sides of
- 3:14:00the ball and frees up Cabbie to play a different role too.
- 3:14:03But that said, I'll make a decision day by day.
- 3:14:07He's batting 171 with a 573 OPS in 63 games since June 25th.
- 3:14:16He's the worst in baseball in the last 72 games.
- 3:14:19He's terrible. He sucks out loud, he makes
- 3:14:23errors still, he looks like. I just don't understand how you
- 3:14:27can keep trotting him out at this point.
- 3:14:29That's not even to talk about. It's not him.
- 3:14:30We'll start with Volpe. It's not him, it's Brian Cashman
- 3:14:34and and all the analytic guys. They have nobody else.
- 3:14:38They're they're going to fill the spot in.
- 3:14:40They don't really have anybody on that roster that really isn't
- 3:14:43a dominant shortstop. You know where the Yankees are
- 3:14:46going to be going in the offseason.
- 3:14:48They're going to be looking for a competent shortstop that
- 3:14:50actually can hit. I and I you know what's so
- 3:14:52funny? Somebody got came up to me, this
- 3:14:55guy Mike Dee Gregorius, he brought it up to me.
- 3:14:58Ever since Dee Dee Gregorius has been gone.
- 3:15:00They have not filled in that shortstop position since then.
- 3:15:04And he was the heart and soul of those teams when they were
- 3:15:06making runs in the playoffs. I absolutely agree.
- 3:15:09Dee Dee Gregorius, ever since he left, the Yankees have not found
- 3:15:13a person or player to fill in that spot.
- 3:15:15And it's been a big problem. I I think that the Yankees right
- 3:15:18now are in a position where they're just guessing and
- 3:15:21they're trying to figure out who can fill in that hole.
- 3:15:24And that's the hardest and most difficult defensive position
- 3:15:27besides catcher to play on a baseball field, especially in
- 3:15:31the playoffs. You're putting, you're putting a
- 3:15:34youngster in a position to fail. And I, I just, I, I'm not
- 3:15:37trusting that Volpe is the right guy in the playoffs if the
- 3:15:41Yankees are going to get over the hump and go to the World
- 3:15:42Series again. I'm scared just thinking about
- 3:15:45Volpe on this roster. You want to pick the mentality
- 3:15:48at this point when the Yankees are trying to battle through, no
- 3:15:50matter what spot they end up getting into, whether they win
- 3:15:52the division, whether they are one of the wild card teams, you
- 3:15:54want to still have the positive. Why is it?
- 3:15:56Just like all right, say Cavallero's playing very good
- 3:15:59and not throw Volpe under the bus like that and just say, all
- 3:16:02right, it's the defensive speed, whatever replacement if you
- 3:16:06report him in a second. They're both not good.
- 3:16:08I, I, I know that Cavallero at least you could play multiple
- 3:16:12positions. He obviously cooled off after
- 3:16:13his hot start after he got traded for from the race, but
- 3:16:16still, why didn't? Think of it that is more of a
- 3:16:18positive. Rather than trying to put
- 3:16:20yourself in the headlines much more than you have to.
- 3:16:22But the Yankees still kind of up and down at this point, even
- 3:16:24though they're probably make the playoffs now.
- 3:16:26Yeah. I mean, Boone said it's
- 3:16:27day-to-day, which what does day-to-day mean?
- 3:16:30I mean, he said that before, and it sucks.
- 3:16:32And as much as the game has changed, where it's become
- 3:16:35analytical. And, you know, last 72 games,
- 3:16:38he's the worst statistically. And it's you're not trying to,
- 3:16:42you know, kick him while he's down and pour salt in the wound.
- 3:16:44It's just, it is what it is. And you can work as hard as you
- 3:16:47want. And obviously they're showing
- 3:16:48that he's working and he cares. But sometimes it's just it, it
- 3:16:52doesn't come across you. You got to go and start a new
- 3:16:56day and see what happens. But I don't think it's your best
- 3:16:59choice to run them out there right now.
- 3:17:01I don't, I don't know what the answer is, but it's I don't
- 3:17:04think it's him. Here's the answer.
- 3:17:06Just don't play a shortstop. I think you're better off.
- 3:17:09Just just get a couple of third baseman's, have them split the
- 3:17:12difference. You know what I mean?
- 3:17:13Just just play the shift. Not allowed anymore, I know.
- 3:17:18But that's what. I, I, I, I would.
- 3:17:22I would now if I had Joe. Madden I'd just shift, shift the
- 3:17:25third. Baseman, that's what.
- 3:17:26I would do so if the. Volpe stuff with Boone isn't
- 3:17:29madding enough. How?
- 3:17:31Let me raise you 2 really good starts by our starting pitchers
- 3:17:35the last two games. Only two runs given up in the
- 3:17:38six innings in the last two starts by Will Warren and Carlos
- 3:17:43Rodan. What does the bullpen do?
- 3:17:45Yesterday? Giving up ten runs in three
- 3:17:48innings. Today, giving up nine runs in
- 3:17:51three innings. And they get blown out 12:00 to
- 3:17:542:00 and 11:00 to 2:00 by a real team with terrible ownership, as
- 3:17:58we found out, leadership in their front office, but a much
- 3:18:02better baseball team than them in the Tigers right now.
- 3:18:05What are they doing with his pen, man?
- 3:18:08You know what? I'm, I'm going to let Jabba go
- 3:18:10first because he knows a little bit more about the pen than I
- 3:18:13do. So go ahead, Jabba.
- 3:18:16I mean where? Where do I start?
- 3:18:18I was looking up stuff and then Katie Sharp.
- 3:18:21She is great with stats on. There.
- 3:18:25And it's the first time in franchise history the bullpens
- 3:18:28giving up nine plus in back-to-back games and it's the
- 3:18:32first time since 1988 since 1988 and before that was 19 O 8 that
- 3:18:40they've had back-to-back 10 plus run losses like this is a bad.
- 3:18:44Stretch and literally. We talked it's they went four
- 3:18:47and two against the Astros and the Blue Jays and after they
- 3:18:51have two good series, which that's a good series.
- 3:18:53You you go and you're above 500 against those two teams.
- 3:18:56Put yourself in a great position and not to say the Tigers aren't
- 3:18:59very good, but now you need to go in and keep that momentum.
- 3:19:02And they just they've absolutely laid an egg.
- 3:19:04It's I don't know what you do with the pen at this point.
- 3:19:07It's go, I mean, let's go Bull Durham.
- 3:19:10You sacrifice a chicken or what? I I don't I don't have any idea
- 3:19:14at this point. It's it's it sucks because it
- 3:19:17feels like you're saying the same thing over and over, but
- 3:19:20you who, who are you going to run out now?
- 3:19:22Like you don't really do you flip a coin and see what what's
- 3:19:28going to happen. You're all about No idea.
- 3:19:30You're all about flipping coins. So I don't know if you were
- 3:19:33talking about Max Jersey. I don't know if you guys saw it,
- 3:19:35but he was making fun of CB Buckner in the He was flipping a
- 3:19:38coin and. CB calling strikes and balls.
- 3:19:40It's hilarious. You want to know something?
- 3:19:43Here's the Here's the problem with the New York Yankees.
- 3:19:45They spent, they spent drafts. I mean, they gave away pieces to
- 3:19:49bring in these pitchers. You.
- 3:19:51Brought in two quality relief pitchers and since they've come
- 3:19:55to the Yankees, they haven't done really anything.
- 3:19:57You have Devin Williams, who was the best closer in baseball for
- 3:20:02how many years this goes, was a top three bullpen arm.
- 3:20:06For so many years, he comes to the Yankees, he's one of the
- 3:20:10worst in the league. How bad could he get?
- 3:20:12No, he he is the worst in the league.
- 3:20:14He's the he's he's over 50 innings pitch qualifying.
- 3:20:17He has the highest ERA in base. It's horrible.
- 3:20:20How does that happen? I mean, I understand it's New
- 3:20:22York. I.
- 3:20:23Understand there's a lot of pressure, but how much pressure
- 3:20:25are you going through? I, I mean, it's just, it's, it's
- 3:20:28pathetic. And, and again, to me, the most
- 3:20:31important part of the playoffs is how your bullpen is doing
- 3:20:36going into the playoffs. And the Yankees right now don't
- 3:20:40look very good. As you heard from Java, the
- 3:20:42numbers would tell you they're as bad as they can be.
- 3:20:46So I, I'm, I'm starting to get worried, even if they, there's a
- 3:20:50number one team in the wild card that that doesn't bode well for
- 3:20:53them, even if they have home field advantage.
- 3:20:55No. And I actually I'm, I'm probably
- 3:20:58I'm rather than not have home field advantage and playing a
- 3:21:01bigger ballpark. I think they got a better
- 3:21:03chance. Right now it's the Red Sox.
- 3:21:04So it's not that. Much bigger, but.
- 3:21:06Either way, like you should, I want to relate this back to what
- 3:21:09you were talking about, what Chapman Jabba is like.
- 3:21:11Sometimes you see organizations try to have their.
- 3:21:13Pitchers change different styles and that's what all the praise I
- 3:21:16was giving with the Dodgers, like rebirthing all these random
- 3:21:19pitchers that were failures on other teams.
- 3:21:21The Yankees seem to like doing the opposite where I liked
- 3:21:24Camila Duvall when they traded for him and and Fish, you know,
- 3:21:26this as a fantasy guy, like from 22 to 24, like the beginning of
- 3:21:2924. He was probably along the hater
- 3:21:31in Diaz, the best closer in baseball for that stretch.
- 3:21:34But it seems like they're trying to do many, too many bad things
- 3:21:36of what he's been doing in the past.
- 3:21:38And same kind of thing with David Bednar, just too much.
- 3:21:40You can't trust with these relievers.
- 3:21:42I don't know, I I just see like a bunch of guys that are put in
- 3:21:47a uniform and not really a team. Yeah, it just doesn't feel like.
- 3:21:53Like champion teams that win championships don't play like
- 3:21:55this. I'm sorry.
- 3:21:57You know, like they can get hot, but this is not what
- 3:21:59championship winning baseball looks like to me.
- 3:22:01There's I just don't see it. If they can somehow, you know,
- 3:22:05survive and get win the AL East with Toronto collapses, maybe
- 3:22:10they got a shot, you know, getting lucky with a good match
- 3:22:12up in the first round. But I can't see any other way
- 3:22:15they get get out of it. And I I really don't think they
- 3:22:18get past the first the the wild card.
- 3:22:20I I don't think they can if they if they're going to play like
- 3:22:23this, I mean, if Max free goes 6 innings, shut up all they're
- 3:22:27still going to lose 9 nothing putting in the guys in this pen.
- 3:22:31I mean, think about it like, what are you going to do and who
- 3:22:33do you put in what situation? Nobody knows what they're doing.
- 3:22:38I guess Bednar. I guess Bednar is the closer
- 3:22:40because he's the only one hasn't sucked.
- 3:22:42You know of the all the guys they got, I mean.
- 3:22:45Duval, you said it was a good player Once Upon a time, but you
- 3:22:49know, I would assume after. Playing that many innings, he's
- 3:22:52got some. Wear and tear on the arm and
- 3:22:54he's probably adjusted mechanically because it hurts a
- 3:22:56little bit and he's not exactly the same guy.
- 3:22:58Maybe you can get healthy and become that guy again, but he
- 3:23:01isn't right now, so who cares? He isn't going to help us right
- 3:23:05now. They got a bunch of guys you
- 3:23:07have. The worst one was what Jake
- 3:23:09Bird. They traded for him.
- 3:23:10He gave up like 20-5 runs and got 2 outs and they had to throw
- 3:23:13him in the minors. It was ridiculous.
- 3:23:15I think he's just hanging on AAA now.
- 3:23:18Yeah, and bringing him back, that was terrible.
- 3:23:20Anyway, the reason why I bring up that they could still sneak
- 3:23:23into the A at least because I'm going.
- 3:23:25To go through a little injury report with you guys right now.
- 3:23:28And I'm going to go down the list of injuries from this week.
- 3:23:32And the big one starts in Toronto with Beau Bichette going
- 3:23:35on to the 10 day IL. He had a left knee sprain on
- 3:23:40September 9th, retroactive the September 7th.
- 3:23:44This is a guy who had a bounce back year, but the problem with
- 3:23:48him was his niece since he got hurt a couple of years ago.
- 3:23:52I think he played through a torn MCL a couple of years ago.
- 3:23:55He's never been the same. This is the best he's looked
- 3:23:57since back then and guess what? It's another knee problem right
- 3:24:00now. If they don't have them, I don't
- 3:24:03know if Toronto is a World Series contender.
- 3:24:06I didn't think he was. They were anyway, but definitely
- 3:24:08not if they don't have them because that's the speed element
- 3:24:10you need in the playoffs. They'll be fine.
- 3:24:12They're they're just right now protecting him and.
- 3:24:15Making sure that he's going to be ready for the playoffs.
- 3:24:17Yeah, no, they're they're going to protect him to the point like
- 3:24:20like you're saying, fish it would.
- 3:24:21Take a monumental collapse for them to like, miss the playoffs
- 3:24:24completely. I I don't love their playoff
- 3:24:26identity. Either way, but like they
- 3:24:28definitely need him in order to make it work because the line of
- 3:24:30death wallet is pretty good. Needs somebody like that that's
- 3:24:33electric to get on base and I agree.
- 3:24:36Is he a free agent after this year?
- 3:24:38Yeah, I don't think they extended it.
- 3:24:39And if I were the Yankees, if I were the Yankees, that's what
- 3:24:43I'm gunning for. I.
- 3:24:44Move him to shortstop. I think he's damaged goods I.
- 3:24:47Take I really I really take him afraid of.
- 3:24:49Him. Here's the here's the play that
- 3:24:51he got hurt on. It was against the Yankees.
- 3:24:55It was Austin Wells's play. At the plate and very simple,
- 3:24:59simple play. Got a single.
- 3:25:01We're going to have a play at the plate and you guys take a
- 3:25:04look that doesn't look like just an ordinary injury.
- 3:25:08He went right to the bottom of the knee.
- 3:25:11That's usually some kind of meniscus.
- 3:25:13Or like Patella. Tendon type of thing.
- 3:25:16They're not saying exactly what was sprained.
- 3:25:18If it's a Patella tendon sprain. You ain't seen him the rest of
- 3:25:21the season. Sorry.
- 3:25:23You know, I don't care how good he is.
- 3:25:24It was raining that day. You could see in this.
- 3:25:26Not great guys, not great for them if they lose them.
- 3:25:29But the Yankees might benefit from it.
- 3:25:31We'll see with Michette to get into some of the other injuries.
- 3:25:34There's another big, big injury. He's been playing through a
- 3:25:38bunch of pain in the second-half.
- 3:25:40Another big time free agent. You think that the Yankees
- 3:25:42should get Arrow? Yeah, I'm talking about Cubs
- 3:25:44outfielder Kyle Tucker. We've seen a lot of calf
- 3:25:47injuries this year, some that have turned in basketball into
- 3:25:50Achilles injuries that have really hurt franchises.
- 3:25:54I think Tucker. I mean, I had Tucker in fantasy
- 3:25:56as my big get. I'll tell you what, I'm very as
- 3:25:59a fantasy guy, pissed off at him, but you want a guy that's
- 3:26:03going to play through pain, but he's in a contractor.
- 3:26:05Not a smart move for a guy in a contractor.
- 3:26:07He played through a broken thumb for a couple of months.
- 3:26:10He played through it and he was bad, right?
- 3:26:13He was bad. So his numbers are a little
- 3:26:16depressed in the second-half of the year.
- 3:26:18Now he has a calf problem. The Cubs are definitely
- 3:26:21contenders, but they need this guy.
- 3:26:24Back, don't they? They're going to pay him.
- 3:26:26And and it seems like he's staying with the Cubs,
- 3:26:29everything that I've read that it would be like the Yankees are
- 3:26:33going to have to absolutely. Overload a significant amount of
- 3:26:37money to pry him away from the Cubs.
- 3:26:39He loves Chicago, he wants to stay there and he believes they
- 3:26:42can win a championship over there.
- 3:26:44I I think he's going to be fine. Another guy that they're just
- 3:26:47going to protect and wait for the players.
- 3:26:49He's fine. Calf injuries or calf injuries,
- 3:26:51I don't Jabba would know more than that.
- 3:26:53Injury could be six weeks. He'll be fine.
- 3:26:56He'll be ready for the playoffs, trust me.
- 3:26:58Yeah, they're like you said, fish.
- 3:26:59They're safe enough as a contender now where they can try
- 3:27:02to be it minimalized. Even if they have the DH in.
- 3:27:04Some some games as well. Like I mentioned, I don't trust
- 3:27:07their pitching in the. Playoffs I haven't trusted their
- 3:27:09with the trade deadline moves, but they still have built enough
- 3:27:12of a wins as well as the Brewers are playing they're not going to
- 3:27:14win the division. But like, if they're not the
- 3:27:16Mets and the Padres that have just been streaky in the
- 3:27:17second-half of the season where they were at risk of losing
- 3:27:20their playoffs, but they're kind of seal at this point in the
- 3:27:22first wild card, Yeah, it's it sucks no matter what Injury,
- 3:27:27even if you're trying to protect him and you don't want it to get
- 3:27:30worse and you don't really have that much time.
- 3:27:33So. I don't think.
- 3:27:35It's for him to go to it that fast and for him to have
- 3:27:40previous knee injuries kind of tells me something to like there
- 3:27:44was something like usually you try to walk it off like, oh, I,
- 3:27:47you know, I got caught, but that was very blatantly like, Ouch,
- 3:27:50that hurt immediately went to it.
- 3:27:52He wouldn't even let IKF put his arm around him like he was
- 3:27:55trying to get off. So it sucks for him just because
- 3:28:00you don't want to go into the playoffs banged up because then
- 3:28:04like we talked about earlier, it can it can affect.
- 3:28:06You in more ways than one your. Performance going into your walk
- 3:28:09gear and how you how you go into the playoffs.
- 3:28:13So yeah, it's protecting him or not that that that's a key
- 3:28:16component for them to get to where they want to go.
- 3:28:20The next major injury that happened.
- 3:28:22And by the way that they also have their closures on injured
- 3:28:25list to Danny Valencia. The Cubs lost their closure for
- 3:28:28a short time. We'll see how he.
- 3:28:30Is, but he came kind of came out of nowhere this year and is
- 3:28:33pretty solid for them. Trey Turner, though, pulled his
- 3:28:36hamstring and the Phillies were competing.
- 3:28:40They're obviously clinched, but a hamstring strain, you never
- 3:28:43know until you see the degree of it.
- 3:28:45Didn't look great when he went down.
- 3:28:48So we'll see what happens with Trey Turner.
- 3:28:50Having one of the best seasons he's had in a little while.
- 3:28:54Really kind of brought some of the power back to his bat that
- 3:28:59he's really been the top of their lineup, driving it, being
- 3:29:01on base for Kyle Schwarber and Harper and those guys.
- 3:29:06I mean and obviously. Alec bombs had been injured all.
- 3:29:08Year he's back on the IL but they got a lot of firepower, but
- 3:29:11they need that guy at the top to really jump start it Trey Trey
- 3:29:15Turner I remember when he won the World Series with the
- 3:29:18nationals. Do you remember that He he, he
- 3:29:21had a hurt foot throughout the playoffs and he.
- 3:29:24Played with a hurt foot, the foot was all messed up and the
- 3:29:28guy played and and he played well.
- 3:29:30I am not. He's another guy.
- 3:29:33They're going to just protect him.
- 3:29:34They already clinched let him sit out for the next week week
- 3:29:37and a half before the playoffs start and and you'll be fine.
- 3:29:40I I he's another one. I'm not really worried about
- 3:29:42Trey Turner. He's I the guy plays hurt.
- 3:29:46The only reason why he's he's probably going to sit out and
- 3:29:49he's going to take care of himself because they already
- 3:29:50clinched. They don't need him to play and
- 3:29:53the best thing to do is to make sure that he's ready for the
- 3:29:55playoffs. So I'm not really worried.
- 3:29:56Yeah, they have enough lineup depth.
- 3:29:57This assure at the Met. The Mets are free falling.
- 3:30:00So the Phillies will win the division at some point probably
- 3:30:02either this weekend or next week.
- 3:30:04Right now, I the Philadelphia Phillies are probably.
- 3:30:06The team to beat, even with Milwaukee, they're the team to
- 3:30:10agree with you on that. They were my pick at the start
- 3:30:11of the year, and I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be.
- 3:30:13Yeah, they're bullpen. Is blunders on occasion but like
- 3:30:16obviously Zach Wheelers injury hurts but they have a ton of
- 3:30:18starting depth but even that like.
- 3:30:20For the short term is not going to be as concerning.
- 3:30:21They're definitely a threat if again, if their bullpen is even
- 3:30:25just average, I think they're going to be fine.
- 3:30:27I agree with you and I don't trust Milwaukee either.
- 3:30:29I don't either. Milwaukee, I mentioned a few
- 3:30:31weeks ago screams they just got swept.
- 3:30:34They scream 2021 Giants today like they're having a nice
- 3:30:36season. They can pitch, but their.
- 3:30:38Offense. Is it that trustworthy?
- 3:30:40I don't know. I don't want you.
- 3:30:41I'm with you. The Phillies are.
- 3:30:43As dangerous as it gets, as much as the pains doing that.
- 3:30:46Trey Turner, obviously, with his legs.
- 3:30:47You got to protect your. Hamstring.
- 3:30:49I mean, hamstrings can linger forever and the only only break
- 3:30:53really for a hamstring is his rest and he's obviously not
- 3:30:55going to get. That now, but they're line up so
- 3:30:57deep with what they can do and, and they've been battling
- 3:31:00injuries anyways. But yeah, they're, they're
- 3:31:01stacked, obviously. And you got a guy like Shrover
- 3:31:04that's kind of holding everything down there, but
- 3:31:06they're, they're line up top to bottom.
- 3:31:08If you get guys half healthy, they're I, I, yeah, I, I, I
- 3:31:12would say they're one of the favorites are top 3 for sure.
- 3:31:15Definitely top three pitching wise.
- 3:31:16We'll see Yeah, yeah, we'll see pitching wise what they can if
- 3:31:21it if it holds up and we'll we'll see what happens.
- 3:31:24So just wanted to get to 1 last part of.
- 3:31:27This before I. Do just talking about the
- 3:31:29Astros. Luis Garcia junior came back
- 3:31:32from Tommy John looks like after his second.
- 3:31:34Start might have to have a second procedure.
- 3:31:38Really bad luck for the youngster.
- 3:31:40And Hader hasn't resumed throwing yet for the Astros, so
- 3:31:43that's kind of worrisome at this point that he hasn't even ramped
- 3:31:46back up. So they may be in trouble over
- 3:31:49there with the pitching. And let's finish off with the
- 3:31:52two teams you just mentioned. The Brewers and the Mets are
- 3:31:56down a couple of Mcgill's. Yes, Trevor McGill is injured
- 3:32:00and so is Tyler and we may not see either one of them back
- 3:32:05during the regular season. Trevor McGill, obviously the
- 3:32:08closer for the 1st place Brewers.
- 3:32:11That's a problem for them. He threw live batting practice.
- 3:32:14He's going to try to get another batting practice in this weekend
- 3:32:19and then he might be able to come back.
- 3:32:21He's been out for a while. That could be part of their
- 3:32:24swoon a little bit, not being able to hold leads late in the
- 3:32:26in the game without him. They didn't have Shelby Miller,
- 3:32:29who they acquired to take his place and set up for him.
- 3:32:32He felt a pop. He's got a torn elbow.
- 3:32:34He's done. So they they kind of are going
- 3:32:37through it as well. Tyler McGill, the Mets see what
- 3:32:41it says. Right elbow sprain has continued
- 3:32:45to experience forearm tightness and he is shut down.
- 3:32:48Not a great day to be in McGill. Unfortunately, in Major League
- 3:32:52Baseball. There you go and there it is.
- 3:32:56That's inside baseball for this evening, boys.
- 3:32:59And by the way, Tyler McGill was supposed to come on a show but
- 3:33:02backed out at the last. Minute.
- 3:33:04So and I'm not. Wishing anything bad harm for
- 3:33:07Tyler McGill I I think he's a great.
- 3:33:09Pitcher and I think the Mets need him, but they're going to
- 3:33:11because their pitchers don't have lengths.
- 3:33:13They have a bunch of young kids, man, and they're pitching well,
- 3:33:17though. Are you going to trust the
- 3:33:18youngsters in a playoff? I don't know.
- 3:33:19It's off the tell right now. I wouldn't.
- 3:33:21That's a lot of pressure. I don't trust anything, right?
- 3:33:23Now that's a lot of pressure on a bunch of kids.
- 3:33:25I know what. Job is going to say you have
- 3:33:26nothing to. Lose, but it's still to me.
- 3:33:29You're you're putting a kid. In a position, you know, and a
- 3:33:32lot of fans are, they're expected with the money that
- 3:33:35they paid Juan Soto and Lindor and all these free agents that
- 3:33:39they brought in, they're expected to make a run.
- 3:33:40Oh, yeah, they're, they're definitely still going to be
- 3:33:42thought of as a good playoff identity with what they did last
- 3:33:45year, too. And they're going to, like I
- 3:33:46said, who are they matched up right now if the season were to
- 3:33:48end? So it would be the Cubs I
- 3:33:50believe, right? Now they're they're screwed.
- 3:33:52It's flip flopping with them and the Padres.
- 3:33:53I think who gets that second and third wild card?
- 3:33:55They're better off with the. Padres, you do not want to play
- 3:33:57the Well, no, they wouldn't play.
- 3:33:59They wouldn't play the Padres in that case, I believe they would.
- 3:34:01Play the Phillies again. Then they'll be even more I'm
- 3:34:03I'm worried about the Phillies too.
- 3:34:04I agree with you, I think. The Mets right now, they're
- 3:34:07going to have to try to be creative.
- 3:34:08With kind of those stretch guys at the moment, that's why I
- 3:34:10agree with. I think they need McGill because
- 3:34:11he could. Pitch in both roles and still
- 3:34:13be. I guess valuable in that way
- 3:34:16because there you can't trust these guys to get late.
- 3:34:17I just don't trust the young kids.
- 3:34:19I'm not about saying the young kids aren't good.
- 3:34:21McLean special tongue is good. They've got some good sprung.
- 3:34:24These are good young pitchers, but.
- 3:34:27You're you cannot trust that these guys are going to be your
- 3:34:32guys in the playoffs. It's scary.
- 3:34:35And if I was a kid and I again, Jabba's done it before, but
- 3:34:39Jabba had veteran players like you're talking about Derek
- 3:34:43Jeter. Look at the players that Jabba
- 3:34:45had on his roster when when they won a World Series in 2009.
- 3:34:49You're talking about Hall of Farmers from top to bottom, Mark
- 3:34:52to sharer as a borderline Hall of Famer at first base, CC
- 3:34:55Sabathia, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, you go up and down.
- 3:34:59When you look at his team, you have Lindor, OK, You have Soto,
- 3:35:03OK, Pete, Alonzo, after that, they're all young.
- 3:35:06Nemo, you're going to bet on these youngsters.
- 3:35:08You're going to bet and nobody in that with that roster as far
- 3:35:11as pitching is concerned, where you're going to trust that these
- 3:35:14guys are going to have your back.
- 3:35:16And Clay Holmes, are you going to bet him?
- 3:35:18But on him? No, Clay Holmes is not going to.
- 3:35:20He's going to be in the bullpen. But that's what I'm saying.
- 3:35:23I'd be worried if I was a Mets fan with the pitching and and
- 3:35:26what the pitching is going to give you in length.
- 3:35:29So I I disagree. I think the Mets are in a lot of
- 3:35:32trouble. That's that's all.
- 3:35:33It's just depth I will have. I will have the Nimos on my back
- 3:35:36at all times. One of the greatest families
- 3:35:38ever, I'm sure. I know you hang out with his
- 3:35:40brother and and you know the family so.
- 3:35:43That's. Great.
- 3:35:44I just and I, I think Nimmo is a great defensive player.
- 3:35:47I just I. Think there's a lot of pressure,
- 3:35:50not on the non Nimmo, but the young pitchers.
- 3:35:53I think the Mets are expected to compete with the money that
- 3:35:57Steve Cohen paid. Remember Steve Cohen said five
- 3:35:59year plan, they're gonna win a World Series.
- 3:36:01It's been over five years, and now they just paid 1 soda,
- 3:36:04almost $800 million. I mean, if you're a Med fan,
- 3:36:07you'd have to be worried about depending on these youngsters.
- 3:36:10And you have Sanga, who they paid money to come here to
- 3:36:13America, who's now in the minor leagues in Syria.
- 3:36:15He'll be in the bullpen in the playoffs, though.
- 3:36:17All right, ladies and gentlemen, we call this.
- 3:36:18What's that smell? Hold up.
- 3:36:21What is that smell? What's?
- 3:36:26That smell. Wow, you don't see that?
- 3:36:30Every day. All right, ladies and gentlemen.
- 3:36:32It's pretty simple. This is an easy segment.
- 3:36:35You know how it? How it gets done?
- 3:36:36We're going to tell you A. Story and.
- 3:36:38We're going to tell. You.
- 3:36:38What it smells like. It could smell like whatever you
- 3:36:42want it to smell like in speedies.
- 3:36:44Whatever smells he's trying to bring out of this people feature
- 3:36:47Sean Smith. I mean, that would it's going to
- 3:36:50be interesting anyways. I'm going to go poops.
- 3:36:53I'm going to go fish. I'm going to go speedy, Jabba
- 3:36:56me. Here we go, all right.
- 3:36:59So to start off my what's that small raise the music a little
- 3:37:02louder. It's a little low, but I'm going
- 3:37:05to be going to this past weekend of NFL games we.
- 3:37:07All saw the first Sunday of week one with the NFL and we also
- 3:37:12talked about the Colts and Dolphins matchup that we saw.
- 3:37:15Of course, a lot of good things if you're a Colts fan, if you
- 3:37:17want to see it offensively and defensively.
- 3:37:20And of course offensively. Errol can attest to the Daniel
- 3:37:23Jones performance. But I want to go and focus on
- 3:37:25the defense more because new Colt safety Cam Bynum actually
- 3:37:29got himself a pick in the first quarter of the game against two.
- 3:37:33And I want to focus on what the hell is this touchdown
- 3:37:36celebration? I don't know what that is right
- 3:37:38there. That's like an ants in my pants
- 3:37:40kind of dance right there. I'm going to replay it again for
- 3:37:43you guys. I don't know what that is.
- 3:37:44Oh my God, he he literally is like gyrating his hips while
- 3:37:48also I don't even know what is going on there.
- 3:37:50It looks like he has ants in his pants.
- 3:37:52I'm not sure maybe he has something Look that look that
- 3:37:54up. He's been practicing that like
- 3:37:55there's videos of him from like 10 years ago, right.
- 3:37:57I've seen that exactly 10 years ago he practiced when he wanted
- 3:38:01to do that dance. And hey, Cam.
- 3:38:03Looks like you got it. However, it's a little little
- 3:38:05goofy. Little goofy to.
- 3:38:06Point out, however, great performance he had himself a
- 3:38:09game, honestly. But what does that smell like?
- 3:38:11Well, it smells like a dude wipe after Daniel Jones was finished
- 3:38:14with that Miami Dolphins team. So there you go.
- 3:38:17Cam Bynum was on that Vikings team that loved to do a lot of
- 3:38:19those crazy celebrations before he signed with the Colts, so he
- 3:38:21probably got it from there. All right, I'll take over the
- 3:38:26next one. Tommy, you got to hit mute when
- 3:38:29you play videos and download them myself.
- 3:38:32There we go. Oh, here it is.
- 3:38:34We talked. About I talked about this in the
- 3:38:36Sportsman in a week ago. Yes, Drake the artist put a
- 3:38:42$300,000 bet. I am a legend Sinner the mush to
- 3:38:48win the US Open but what is it everybody know about Drake other
- 3:38:52than he got clapped by. Kendrick last summer, he.
- 3:38:55Loses. Every.
- 3:38:56Bet that he puts in. He loses every bet and he tells
- 3:39:01everybody about it so we can all watch him lose together.
- 3:39:05We knew that Sinner was going to.
- 3:39:07Lose, who was just unstoppable until the bet was placed by
- 3:39:11Drake. What a mistake.
- 3:39:14Of course, he fell to Alcaraz for the second time in a major
- 3:39:18this year. He won the other two he finished
- 3:39:19second into Guess what Drake bet on him on both of the ones he
- 3:39:25lost this calendar year. What does that smell like?
- 3:39:30Well Drake, it smells like syrup sandwich flavored humble pie.
- 3:39:35Time for you to sit down. I did the I did the one three
- 3:39:39months ago with him doing the Leafs bat and now he just stole.
- 3:39:41He also bet on the the Ravens to beat the Bills.
- 3:39:44And like I said, we all know how how that turned out.
- 3:39:47To know when I was making my pics.
- 3:39:49All right, I'll move on to a story.
- 3:39:52About Bill Belichick and his girlfriend getting rejected by.
- 3:39:57For four different trademarks by the US Patent and Trademark
- 3:40:00Office, which basically there were four different Bill
- 3:40:03Belichick's sayings, The Belustrator in 2009, do your job
- 3:40:062013. And then the two with the Super
- 3:40:07Bowl parade. No days off and ignore the
- 3:40:10noise. And they're trying to spoof it
- 3:40:11like Taylor Swift with parentheses.
- 3:40:14Bill's version just trying to be unoriginal whatsoever.
- 3:40:17Just now try to shed more Taylor Swift highlights into the NFL,
- 3:40:21too. So what does that smell like?
- 3:40:23It smells like new Taylor Swift Everest tourist singer Sean
- 3:40:27Smith sweaty after losing his wrestling match with Harold and
- 3:40:30Java doused in some famous North Carolina tar performing for
- 3:40:35those Swifties. Speedy has the most elaborate
- 3:40:38smells like I don't even know where to.
- 3:40:40His smell just doesn't stop it Like two things.
- 3:40:43It's it's a whole, it's a corporate Sean Smith.
- 3:40:47I would have just said it smelled like a.
- 3:40:49Biosphere. I think I would have just said
- 3:40:52it smells like Sean Smith's ass, which is probably.
- 3:40:54Stanky. I'm going to.
- 3:40:58Go with what's? That smell is is I think I smell
- 3:41:03an ass whooping coming and. There's going to need.
- 3:41:06A lot of dude wipes. When Terence Bud Crawford from
- 3:41:10Omaha, NE takes on Canelo in Vegas on Saturday and probably
- 3:41:18half of Omaha or Nebraska will be there representing because
- 3:41:22Bud travels very, very deep as well as Canelo does.
- 3:41:25But it's going to smell like championships coming back.
- 3:41:28And I know you're a boxing guy Errol, so don't go against Bud
- 3:41:32Crawford because I will fly there and cut your legs off.
- 3:41:35As long as she's using dude wipes and taking care of my 2
- 3:41:37hole, I'm good. First of all, just so you know,
- 3:41:40I hate Canelo Alvarez. I've always hated Canelo
- 3:41:43Alvarez. Never did never liked him.
- 3:41:46I I didn't say it wasn't a good. Fight.
- 3:41:48I never liked them and if you would ask me right now who's
- 3:41:52winning that fight, it's going to be Bud.
- 3:41:54I mean he's ambidextrous. He can fight right-handed, he
- 3:41:56can fight left-handed. He put on some weight for this
- 3:41:58fight. He looks sensational.
- 3:42:00He put on good weights, not bad weight.
- 3:42:03Bud put on great weight for this fight.
- 3:42:06He worked really, really hard. You see the training.
- 3:42:08I've watched every bit of it. Go watch Netflix, the two dot
- 3:42:11the documentary that they have right now on Netflix.
- 3:42:13Bud looks sensational. I'm so excited for Bud.
- 3:42:17I want to see him like the floor with Canelo.
- 3:42:18Canelo has been ducking and weaving some of the best
- 3:42:21fighters in the primes of their career, but is in the prime of
- 3:42:24his career right now and this is the best time to lay Canelo out.
- 3:42:29I think this is going to be a great fight.
- 3:42:32I think Bud is going to dominate it and Canelo cannot stop the
- 3:42:37the ability Bud has on stepping in and stepping out and be able
- 3:42:40to change both sides of the way he fights right hand and left.
- 3:42:44Be interesting to see if Bud can handle a punch though.
- 3:42:46Going up two weight classes, he could 100%.
- 3:42:49I've seen I've seen bug. But first of all, he can handle
- 3:42:52a bullet. He can handle a punch.
- 3:42:53Well, here's the. Thing Bud trains with
- 3:42:55heavyweights and he spars with heavyweights.
- 3:42:58So he does. You're not telling me something
- 3:43:00I don't know. He's 45 minutes north.
- 3:43:01Of me yeah, so but I've I've. Been following Bud for a long
- 3:43:05long time and this guy trains with heavyweights and does a
- 3:43:09very. Does a good number on on
- 3:43:11heavyweights I think. He's going to be fine with
- 3:43:12Canelo. Canelo doesn't hit as hard as he
- 3:43:14used to and I think Canelo to me is washed up and he should shut
- 3:43:18his mouth and zipper his lips because so when he goes to these
- 3:43:21reports, when he goes to these weigh insurance, he stands there
- 3:43:24like he's the Canelo Alvarez from 1015 years ago.
- 3:43:28And even when he was there 10-15 years ago, who did he beat in
- 3:43:31the prime of their career? Couldn't beat triple GI mean
- 3:43:34that was an absolute robbery. Triple G won two out of the
- 3:43:37three fights. It was absolutely despicable
- 3:43:40what the, you know, the boxing world did to triple G and triple
- 3:43:44G was at the tail end of his career when he beat Canelo.
- 3:43:46So that's all I'm going to say. All right, why?
- 3:43:49What's that smell goes to what's going on in the world right now?
- 3:43:52Just think about this. I'm a Florida State fan.
- 3:43:55Did anybody hear about this story?
- 3:43:564 men arrested on the connection of the shooting of FSU Ethan
- 3:44:02Pritchard Tallahassee, FL Four people have been arrested in
- 3:44:07connection of the shooting of Florida State linebacker Ethan
- 3:44:10Pritchard, Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner
- 3:44:13Mark Glass said on Wednesday. Glass said that Pritchard was
- 3:44:16not doing anything wrong when he was ambushed outside of his
- 3:44:20apartment last month. He added that Pritchard was
- 3:44:22dropping off family members and an aunt and a child when he was
- 3:44:27shot in the back of his head. OK, you know what that smells
- 3:44:31like? It smells like people don't know
- 3:44:33what the F they're doing. They put themselves in in harm's
- 3:44:37way and it unfortunately puts him in a harm's way for trying
- 3:44:41to help people and put himself in in a position where he's
- 3:44:44going to be almost killed. I mean, it's a terrible story
- 3:44:47and I don't want to mention any of the politics, but what's
- 3:44:50going on in the world right now is just despicable.
- 3:44:53And and and and and people are getting murdered innocently,
- 3:44:57getting, you know, stabbed, shot.
- 3:45:01Why can't we just get along? We're a country.
- 3:45:03We should be together on everything that's going on in
- 3:45:05the world right now. We shouldn't be killing each
- 3:45:06other. It's just a horrible story.
- 3:45:10Thank God Ethan Pritchard is OK and he's going to survive and
- 3:45:13hopefully play football again. So Errol, we talked about it
- 3:45:17earlier today. We can disagree on politics.
- 3:45:20We can call each other idiots. But since we're airing it out
- 3:45:24and we talked, it's like, OK, cool, let's go.
- 3:45:26Hang out and watch the game. No, who cares?
- 3:45:28It's just politics. Who cares?
- 3:45:31It's not everything and people make it everything.
- 3:45:35It's crazy like any of the politicians care about use
- 3:45:38individually anyway. Let's just get why are we
- 3:45:41killing you people? Why are we killing people?
- 3:45:43Why are we shooting our own people?
- 3:45:45It's just we're stabbing people that innocent people are dying
- 3:45:49and this is a horrible. Story He did nothing.
- 3:45:51He was he he took his Anna and a child home and he gets shot in
- 3:45:56the back of the head. The guy suffice 4 four people
- 3:45:59jumped him, though. Yep.
- 3:46:01Four people. Yeah.
- 3:46:02So four people were arrested. No, they were involved with it.
- 3:46:06They were involved with it, so this.
- 3:46:08Was like an organized hit on this guy.
- 3:46:10Basically is what they're saying.
- 3:46:12So they're they gave the. Names Jaden Batson, Karen
- 3:46:16Miller, Korone. Miller, Germany.
- 3:46:19Atkins and another minor. That's what they said.
- 3:46:22So those are the names. So honestly, it's a horrible
- 3:46:27story and thank God Prichard is going to survive.
- 3:46:29I mean, you get shot in the back of the head and you survive
- 3:46:32something like this. Very lucky the way it hits you,
- 3:46:35I guess. It's a horrible story,
- 3:46:37unfortunately. Fortunately he's safe, but it's
- 3:46:41unfortunate that you have crazy. Ridiculous people out there.
- 3:46:44And that's why I don't even know what it smells.
- 3:46:45Like smells like people are just out of their friggin minds and,
- 3:46:49and honestly, there has to be something done.
- 3:46:51What's going on in the world right now?
- 3:46:53This is this is not safe. It's not a safe place to live
- 3:46:56when you're hanging out on a bus in North Carolina and, or a
- 3:47:00train and, and somebody sitting there and somebody just comes
- 3:47:03right over your shoulder and stabs you to death.
- 3:47:05It's, it's a horrible, it's horrible what's going on right
- 3:47:08now in the world. It's, it's, it's, I'm scared.
- 3:47:11I, I'm a, I'm a pretty big guy. I'm, I tell my girlfriend all
- 3:47:14the time, do not leave with, don't go somewhere without me
- 3:47:18because I'm afraid that something's going to happen.
- 3:47:20You know, so it is a really scary world right now.
- 3:47:23So my, my, my heart goes out to Ethan Pritchard.
- 3:47:27My heart goes out to the Kirk family.
- 3:47:29What happened today? I mean, it's it's a horrible,
- 3:47:31horrible story. I don't want to get into it.
- 3:47:34I'm not getting into politics, but it's a horrible story right
- 3:47:37now. And I know that's why Goody
- 3:47:39didn't come on the show tonight because of it.
