The New York Knicks are expected to sign Mike Brown as their next
0:09
head coach, after a wide-ranging and at times, maddening search
0:13
is brown gonna be up to the task where Tom Thibodeau was not
0:17
according to the Knicks brass, or is it just a lateral?

3:47
we're kind of gonna be all over the place.
3:50
Like my son's gonna be at the lake with all of his buddies.
3:53
Yeah, they're too cool to hang out with parents anymore.
3:56
They just they just want money for fireworks at this point.
3:58
So they're gonna do all that and hang out and we'll just kind of
4:02
bounced around from telling friends and family tell them not

4:16
fish was fish. Was out.
4:18
He's celebrating his anniversary with his wife.
4:21
Enjoy the five-day vacation, he's back for a Wednesday show.
4:25
No, we're not gonna have a show tomorrow, it's I guess Fourth of
4:29
July Eve, I'll be with my mother taking care of some things with
4:34
her. So we are decided to move the
4:36
show to Wednesday, obviously for family reasons, but happy Fourth
4:42
of July, to all the friends. And families out there listening
4:45
to our show right now. This is my research, please.
4:48
Yes. This is my favorite holiday of
4:50
the year. I don't know why it is.
4:51
But for some reason, it is everybody.
4:54
Likes Halloween. They like Christmas because of
4:56
the gifts, even Thanksgiving because you can blow up like a
4:58
balloon. I have no idea why I like Fourth
5:02
of July and has nothing to do with fireworks because I don't
5:04
like them. So I just it's, it's something
5:07
about this holiday. Maybe it's the beginning of the
5:09
summer, even though I can't stand the summer, but it's
5:13
great. And I'm gonna be hanging out
5:14
with the beef for the Fourth of July.
5:16
So maybe Speedy will be hanging out if he is not in la la land
5:20
or Speedy land because sometimes I wonder if he's actually here
5:24
and some maybe in bars are Jupiter.
5:26
Because sometimes I don't even think he's listening to me.
5:28
But what are you doing, anyways, what do you doing?
5:31
Am I doing? Yeah.
5:32
What are you doing? Are you paying attention to this
5:34
show? Are you just your heads up your
5:36
ass? You're telling stories, I'm
5:38
telling stories but you never pay attention to them.
5:40
You're, you're in another world. I I have no idea.
5:43
Sometimes where Speedy is Speedy is not here.
5:47
Has anybody play Twister before as anybody played that game
5:51
twister? Could you imagine Speedy playing
5:53
twister seriously because he doesn't listen as it is.
5:57
Could you imagine him try to twirl and find you know try to
6:00
move maneuver his body around your legs or your scrotum.
6:04
I mean Speedy would probably really be good at doing that but
6:07
nevertheless, I I don't think he listens very well.
6:10
So we'll see. Maybe we'll play Chutes and
6:13
Ladders on this show. Oh yeah, I like Chutes and
6:16
Ladders. I that's a gold.
6:17
Yeah, I love old school. Oh, if you go, if you go to a
6:21
Fourth of July and you have to make a choice, Are you a hot dog
6:26
or a hamburger guy? Hamburger Burger!
6:28
I'm a burger guy. And, and by the way, I'm
6:31
pre-diabetic. Now, as my doctor told me the
6:33
other day, so I gotta be away from all these sugar drinks.
6:37
So what I'll be doing for the next four months is drinking.
6:40
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, water with a little meal, you will not
6:44
see me drink any more sugar drinks now.
6:47
I can eat other things, but I've been very careful of the last 42
6:50
hours, and I plan to stay that way because I went on that that
6:55
trip. And I ate a lot of junk food and
6:57
over the last couple of months, because the DJing season the
7:01
entertainment season has begun, I go to these parties here.
7:04
I scream this candy, there's cake and I love that.
7:08
I'm a sweet type of person. And, you know, I got caught up
7:12
but I I'm sure I can get the numbers down.
7:14
But obviously. Are you a tea drinker?
7:16
No, I'm not. I don't like hot drinks.
7:19
I don't like coffee. I don't like tea.
7:21
I don't like, you can have cold tea like like yeah.
7:25
I don't like the taste of it. I just there's something about
7:28
the taste and when I was a kid, when I was sick, my my father
7:32
always stuck T down my throat, and it made me hate it.
7:35
Just like I hate gravy. Everybody asked me when gravy's
7:38
out with potatoes and and turkey, I agree.
7:41
I can't eat gravy because what my grandmother used to do.
7:44
When I was a kid, is she is like Italian off the boat Italian.
7:49
She used to stick gravy potatoes and turkey in front of my face
7:54
and make me drink a cup of milk after my meal and I couldn't.
7:58
Yeah, my grandmother. That's a very that's an Italian
8:01
thing. You anytime.
8:03
Anytime you have a meal, they always stick milk in front of
8:06
your face, and you gotta drink it, and I was not always after
8:10
the meal, though. It, you could trick it during
8:12
the meal. Would you like to mix milk and
8:15
turkey and mashed potatoes or any of that garbage and make you
8:18
sick? And I I would sit at the table
8:21
after and I want to barf because I had that that that that gravy
8:24
taste in my mouth. So I I hate gravy every time I
8:26
look at gravy, I want to hurl it is disgusting.
8:29
It makes me sick to my stomach. So everybody if you're
8:33
celebrating Fourth of July and you see gravy on the table,
8:36
don't think of me, that's all I'm going to say.
8:39
Don't think of me because if you do you probably imagine me throw
8:43
up all over that table because I get sick to my stomach.
8:45
So do you watch the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest?
8:48
Always oh I love. I mean the way they get fired
8:53
up. I it it's it's a great way to
8:55
start because it's early in the morning so you're getting stuff
8:58
done. It's just a great way to start.
9:00
When they bring the dudes in and you got book of Badlands, he's
9:03
rapping. You got all kinds of and that's
9:06
just Joey chestnuts, she's not. That's what I don't call him.
9:10
Chestnuts, I go on Jesus nuts. And we saw Joey Chestnut
9:13
actually at the Super Bowl actually fish.
9:17
Walked up to him, notice him and just like announced him and he
9:23
asked Chestnut if he wants to come on our show one of these
9:25
days. Maybe we'll reach out to Joey
9:27
Chestnut and see if you would be interested in jumping on his
9:31
show. After the Fourth of July, you
9:33
know, hot dog, eating contest but that's cool.
9:35
I I think anything. Let's let's make a fun
9:39
prediction. I say he wins, but let's let's
9:41
make a guess. And it's and then, if who's ever
9:45
in our in the chat to, let me look, let them in whoever gets
9:49
the closest. We'll do something.
9:50
All right. How about this?
9:51
I'm gonna predict 72. Hot dogs poop says 68, fish, has
9:56
64. I'm gonna go 70, I'm gonna go
10:00
72. Speedy. 65.
10:03
All right, Jake already took 65. All right, I'll one up six, six,
10:07
six and I got. So we got two.
10:11
So we got anywhere from 64 to set.
10:14
You had 72, right? Yes, 72.
10:17
Perfect. Yeah, it'll be fun.
10:18
I'm interested to see what's going to happen.
10:20
Speaking of what's Happening. Well, the New York Knicks,
10:24
finally, Pick their coach. It's been a crazy ride for the
10:30
last month after the season. They fired Tom Thibodeau within
10:34
48 hours after they get eliminated by the Pacers and
10:37
people were questioning do the Knicks actually know what
10:41
they're doing. ESPN reports that the Knicks
10:44
have hired Mike Brown as their new and next.
10:48
Hey, Coach Brown was recently fired by the Kings 31 games into
10:52
the season but led the Kings to their first playoff appearance
10:56
in 16 years in 2023 where they have, I'm sorry where they had
11:02
the number one offense in the NBA, Brown is a two-time coach
11:06
of the year winning with the kings that season in 2023 and
11:11
all. So, with the Cavaliers in 2009,
11:13
Brown made one NBA final appearance with the Cavaliers in
11:17
2007 and also won four NBA titles as an assistant coach
11:22
with the Spurs. And the Warriors Brown was the
11:25
only That got multiple interviews with the Knicks after
11:29
meeting with James Dolan, and Leon Rose yesterday,
11:31
Timberwolves, assistant coach Makai, Nori Pelicans assistant,
11:37
coach James Borrego, and former Grizzlies head coach, Taylor
11:41
Jenkins where the only other coaches to get interviews.
11:45
By the Knicks Brown has 454 career wins and a 0.599 career
11:54
winning percentage among active coaches that have Coach multiple
11:59
Seasons, only Joe, Missoula. And Steve Kerr have a higher
12:04
winning percentage then Mr. Mike Brown, I was shocked.
12:09
I was shocked. That the next pick.
12:12
Mike Brown. I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
12:14
Now, do I think he's a bad hire? I trust in Leon Rose.
12:18
Leon Rose is made a lot of different decisions over the
12:22
last couple of years and he's made the right ones.
12:24
He brought Jalen Brunson in for 58 million dollars.
12:27
Now, he's the captain. He's missed their clutch.
12:29
Am I gonna take shots at Leon Rose when he made that move?
12:32
Know. He gave RJ.
12:34
Barrett extension used RJ Barrett to get OG on an obj?
12:37
I know he is one of the best Wing defenders in the league, a
12:41
Kawhi Leonard prototype. Now he has been very good when
12:45
he has been healthy. So is that a home run?
12:47
Absolutely. He signed obviously a guy like
12:51
Robinson Mitchell Robinson to a 64 years. 60 to 63 million
12:56
dollar. Contract is Mitchell Robinson.
12:58
One of the best centers in the league when healthy I would
13:01
believe he is now he's not an offensive player, he's one of
13:04
the better rebounder so offensive rebounders in a league
13:06
and one of the best blockers in the league and rim protectors.
13:09
So was that a bad move? No.
13:12
He made the trade for Karl, Anthony Towns.
13:15
Now is Karl Anthony towns. One of the best offensive, big
13:18
men in the league? Yes.
13:19
Does he work? Well well with Jalen Brunson
13:22
when they're both on the court know because both of them, don't
13:25
play a lick a defense but that is why I believe.
13:30
They made the move to bring in Mike Brown.
13:33
And here's the reason why Mike Brown is a different style of
13:37
Coach. He is a defensive minded coach
13:39
as Tom Thibodeau was a defensive minded coach but what makes?
13:43
Mike Brown a little bit more interesting when it comes to
13:46
defense, he plays, man. That's what he does.
13:48
He sometimes uses the Zone zone defense but mainly plays man
13:53
that means if Mikhail Bridges and he sets up mikal Bridges to
13:58
defend Tyrese helper in the whole game.
14:00
That's what Michelle Bridges is going to defend the whole game.
14:04
There's no changing up, there's no rotation, it's not of that.
14:08
It's man on man and that lady. And gentleman is the reason why
14:13
Indiana beat the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference
14:18
Finals. But you'll look back of all the
14:21
coaches over the last couple of years with the New York next and
14:24
how much they have fell Jeff hornacek.
14:27
Being one of them Jeff hornacek was a good.
14:30
He was Decent NBA player. He was a three-point shooter, he
14:34
played on that Utah. Jazz team with John Stockton and
14:38
Karl Malone went to a couple of finals but choked and he was a
14:42
terrible head coach with the New York Knicks.
14:44
Derek Fisher, who likes to sleep around with other people's wives
14:48
and girlfriends. Derek Fisher.
14:50
He won a couple of titles with the Lakers Kobe Bryant Shaquille
14:54
O'Neal. He got his first coaching job
14:56
with the Knicks and within years.
14:59
And I mean years because it was really two and a half years.
15:01
He was fired. I wonder if the Knicks are still
15:04
paying him so because he's never gotten another job.
15:06
And then you got you go through the line of guys that have
15:10
succeeded. Charles Woodson.
15:12
What's a good? He was a good head coach, he
15:15
really was. Now the problem with Charles
15:18
Woodson was, he didn't have the fans, you know, respect he was a
15:24
good coach but he wasn't that bright like coach.
15:27
She wasn't that name in The Stars where everybody says all
15:30
we Got Charles Woodson. He wasn't like that.
15:33
Now Phil Jackson we thought by bringing him in as to GM, or
15:36
whatever. President of the organization,
15:38
you would have thought that Phil Jackson One Way or Another
15:41
because of how bad the Knicks have been coached over the last,
15:44
you know, 20 years. He was going to come in and take
15:48
over the coaching duties. It didn't work.
15:50
It didn't work with Phil Jackson's.
15:51
A matter of fact he was falling asleep at the combine when he
15:54
was trying to scout players. So it didn't work with Phil. but
15:59
over the years, The Knicks have been up and down with head,
16:03
coaches. Tom Thibodeau was a successful
16:05
coach with the New York Knicks, nobody's taking that away from
16:08
him. The problem with Tom is, you
16:11
could never get over the hump. He went as far as he could with
16:14
the Timberwolves, he did. And he only went to the semis
16:17
with the Timberwolves could never get to the Western
16:20
Conference Finals with the Timberwolves.
16:21
He went what Chicago to the finals and who did he bump into
16:25
he bumped into the Miami Heat and with LeBron, James and
16:30
Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh and Ray Allen.
16:33
It was never going to work. They were never going to get
16:35
over the hump. And that was really the last
16:38
year. Derek Rose was really as Elite
16:40
as he was when he came into the league, the problem over the
16:44
years with the New York Knicks is the transitional players that
16:49
they bring in and how the coaches do not work with those
16:52
players mikal Bridges after the season as I heard, When in to
16:58
the executives with Leon Rose, James Dolan, and worldwide, West
17:02
and relate. His thoughts to the organization
17:05
and where he thinks the organization is heading.
17:07
If they keep it at all, he was the guy and I believe he was the
17:12
first that opened up his mouth and said he's tired.
17:16
He was tired. Now, this is the same guy
17:18
Mikhail Bridges who the Knicks traded for five first round
17:21
draft picks. Five of them.
17:24
To bring him from the the Brooklyn Nets to the New York
17:26
Knicks. Mikhail Bridges was a big part
17:29
of the first and second round of the playoffs.
17:32
And then what happened in the third round in the Easter
17:35
Conference Finals? He fell off.
17:36
Why? Probably because he was tired
17:39
and that is the problem right now with the New York Knicks and
17:42
it's been the problem with the New York Knicks year in.
17:45
And year out, Tom tip at all, where is these guys out?
17:48
And it doesn't even matter to him.
17:50
He will play seven, guys, all season.
17:53
If you look at the Knicks starters, all five starters were
17:56
in the top 11 in the league with minutes played in games in the
18:02
regular season. That is a problem.
18:04
I don't care what anybody says, look at Josh Hart.
18:07
So out the playoffs, it looked like as the playoffs move
18:10
forward, he was getting tired and he wasn't the same player.
18:13
He wasn't that defensive offensive player that the Knicks
18:17
were expecting to get from either in the starting lineup or
18:21
even coming off the benches to six or seventh guy.
18:24
Off the Bench. He wasn't that guy in the
18:26
finals. Why?
18:27
Because he was tired, then he was making mistakes.
18:29
He was fouling people and he was putting himself and putting the
18:32
Knicks in bad positions to succeed, Mike Brown, I think
18:35
will be a decent fit. Now I don't know what Mike
18:39
Brown's gonna be in New York, but he is a winner everywhere.
18:42
He's gone, he's won. You could say whatever you want,
18:45
it's not easy winning, an NBA championship is Mike Brown a
18:49
guy, I think he's better than Joel Missoula.
18:51
Joe Missoula, took over for Brad Stevens and Duke.
18:55
What is a gold guy? I always mess up his name.
18:59
He used in hey coach because he was playing with somebody else's
19:01
woman. Yeah, but it's seems like that
19:04
that's the trend right now with coaches and Executives.
19:06
As we all know, Isaiah Thomas was doing that as well, but but
19:11
the fact is The New York Knicks needed to make a move.
19:16
That makes sense. Now, Leon Rose over the last
19:21
couple years, I'll go back to what I was just saying in the
19:23
beginning of the monologue, everything he's touched
19:26
practically, he's hit Their slam dunks.
19:31
Now, Mike Brown coming in from multiple interviews, tells me
19:36
that he very much impressed, worldwide West and Leon Rose.
19:39
Nobody cares about James Dolan. Nobody gives a crap about what
19:43
James Dolan is doing. Except when he goes on a mic and
19:46
he plays his stupid guitar and his Fiddler.
19:48
He's Fiddler on a roof when he's over there at Madison Square
19:50
Garden. Do we really care about that
19:52
either, though? No, but when you have a career
19:55
winning percentage of 5.99 that ladies and gentlemen, tells me
20:00
that he is a quality head coach. Now, will the Knicks win with my
20:05
brown, only time will tell Madison Square Garden is going
20:08
to be very loud about this. When he gets introduced probably
20:11
on Monday because they're not gonna introduce him on the
20:14
weekend because it's Fourth of July to Holiday expected to be
20:17
on Monday, when they introduced Mike Brown, he's not going to be
20:20
the world beater that everybody wanted.
20:22
They were a lot of people that wanted the kid and and and
20:26
somebody like him was a guy that was coaching right onto Tom
20:31
Capital and that was I think I was messed up his name.
20:33
Johnny Bryant Johnny Bryant is a is a guy that has been a
20:38
successful defensive mind with the New York Knicks with Tom
20:41
Thibodeau. He was the second guy over the
20:44
first two or three years with the New York Knicks before he
20:46
decided to go and part ways with the Knicks and go over there to
20:49
Cleveland to work with Kenny Atkinson everybody.
20:52
Thought John Bryant was the guy then Mike Malone he gets fired
20:56
before three games or four games before the playoffs.
20:58
He was the big sexy name that every Nick fan wanted.
21:02
He didn't even get an interview the next day didn't even
21:05
interview him so, obviously the next had no thoughts.
21:08
So bringing in a guy of that magnitude.
21:11
The reason why I think Mike Malone didn't get an interview,
21:14
is a lot of people compare his, his coaching ability to atom,
21:19
tippo an aggressive guy, that doesn't really say much and he
21:23
placed that shift. And that rotating defense, that
21:27
didn't work here in New York. But again, Mike On to different
21:31
style of Coach. The way he runs his offense,
21:33
he's gonna be a different style of offense.
21:35
The pick-and-roll at the top of the key will probably be
21:38
changed. You'll probably move and spread
21:41
out the offense. He's going to play like a
21:43
triangle offense, like Steve Kerr did in the Spurs.
21:45
He comes from the Spurs organization Gregg Popovich,
21:49
she's going to run a triangle style of offense.
21:51
It's not going to be completely a triangle, but a triangle style
21:55
of offense. And why does that work with the
21:58
Knicks? Well, one of the main reasons
21:59
why is Jalen Bronson? He's a one-on-one player, he's
22:02
an isolation player and that ladies and gentlemen, is what
22:06
you can use during a triangle type of offense, Steph Curry,
22:09
Klay Thompson even Kevin Durant. When he was over there over
22:14
there in Golden State, that's what they like to run.
22:17
They were either running you offense to Kevin Durant, Steph
22:19
Curry or Klay Thompson. Whoever was hot and whoever was
22:22
not the guy they were running offense, too.
22:25
I just think that that's the way.
22:27
The Knicks are going to play their offense.
22:29
That's the way they're going to run their offense.
22:31
Again, I am not excited with this higher, but when you look
22:35
at his numbers and as you put it up Speedy, very nicely 5.99% and
22:41
he's only behind Joe, Missoula, and Steve Kerr over the last but
22:45
a couple years among active head coaches right now, in the end, I
22:48
mean that says a lot about his coaching style, he was also in a
22:52
western conference with Sacramento.
22:54
Sacramento had a young deer and fox and a sabonis and he was
23:00
the, I think he was the guy that decided to part ways with Tyrese
23:03
Albert. I'm not sure he was hired.
23:06
I think slightly after that. Yeah.
23:07
So I I think that when you look at the position that the Knicks
23:12
have put themselves in, especially in the Eastern
23:16
Conference, when the Celtics are not going to have Tatum probably
23:19
until the end of season, maybe not at all next year and they're
23:22
not making any big moves. They traded poor singing, they
23:24
traded obviously, Drew holiday. They're going to play what they
23:28
have right now and then you have the Cavaliers The Cavaliers have
23:32
done really nothing. They had a couple of pieces but
23:35
nothing exciting. This is going to be the same
23:38
Cavalier team and by the way who play, who worked with Kenny
23:42
Atkinson a couple of years and now was Mike Brown, who knows?
23:47
Kenny Atkinson more than Mike Brown.
23:48
Mike Brown knows his style. He knows what he likes to run,
23:51
he knows how he runs his offense.
23:53
He runs his defense. So I know Jalen Bronson and Josh
23:58
Hart wanted to keep Tom table. There were those guys what I
24:00
heard were the only two guys that were vouching for, Tom
24:04
thibodeau's return next to this coming season.
24:06
The problem is as good as both those players are and as
24:10
talented as Jalen Brunson is, I think the organization wanted to
24:15
move forward with another coach, that would give them a better
24:18
chance to make that run to the finals, which they haven't done
24:22
since 1999. Yeah.
24:24
We talk about all the time. A lot of these veteran NBA
24:26
coaches have just been dismissed randomly by certain teams over
24:29
the years, because it's become like, last 10 years, obviously,
24:32
a player run league. And there's a lot of these
24:34
surprising firings that do end up happening and Mike Brown, I
24:37
think was a victim of that with Sacramento this past season, the
24:39
king started off at slow, they started 13 and 18 and it wasn't
24:43
all their fault. And we were talking about
24:44
before, the show Scott Perry's in the front office and that
24:47
front office is not very well run as it is.
24:49
Ivy, they haven't been able to sign players.
24:51
They haven't been able to keep players on that team.
24:53
Like you said, they traded Halliburton and they got some
24:55
bonus, which was nice. But again, it hasn't gotten them
24:58
besides the one season, which Mike Brown was coach of the year
25:00
to be that team of the future. I thought they would be evolving
25:03
into that. The next year, I picked him in
25:04
the Western Conference Finals that year, it didn't announce
25:06
anything and obviously gets fired.
25:08
And kind of skate goaded by the Sacramento Kings.
25:11
Just a really bad front office. And I talked about with Rick
25:13
Carlisle, too, and I don't think I see, he's recall out good,
25:16
obviously, but Rick Carla house. Had to change his coaching
25:19
Style. To adapt to the young players
25:21
with Indiana when he got fired from Dallas and obviously didn't
25:25
work out with Luka doncic as he had to change.
25:27
And I talked about that in football, too.
25:28
With Jim Harbaugh, Jim Harbaugh going from the NFL to college
25:31
back to the NFL, I think Mike Brown, is that type of
25:33
adaptation? Because he's learned with the
25:35
Spurs who at the time, he was kind of a veteran team in the
25:38
Warrior. That were kind of a younger team
25:40
in transition when he won with the championship, in 22, before
25:43
he got the king's head coaching job.
25:45
So I think he's a little bit of an adaptation type coach as
25:47
well, that can work with the Knicks.
25:49
Back court type of presence which is similar to the Golden
25:52
State Warriors to back court type of Pros.
25:54
Now, the Warriors are more offense driven the next probably
25:56
more defensive driven in the backcourt but Jalen Brunson
25:58
spaces the floor. Very well, just like Steph
26:00
Curry, did you got Klay Thompson?
26:02
3D guy? OG 3D Guy.
26:04
This is a very similar type structure to what he could bring
26:07
to the concepts of the Warriors. I could see why they bought
26:10
Jordan Clarkson. And I think they knew Mike Brown
26:12
was gonna get hired because of the way, Jordan Clarkson likes
26:15
to run through the office now. Jordan Clarkson is good.
26:18
Shooter is a good offensive player.
26:20
He Doesn't play a lick of Defense.
26:21
I think what the Knicks are going to do now is they're going
26:24
to use Mitchell Robinson, Mitchell Robinson, don't be
26:27
surprised. Now, if you see Mike Brown start
26:29
Mitchell, Robinson and Karl Anthony towns.
26:31
They move call, Anthony towns to the four.
26:33
Mitchell Robinson will be playing the five, and all Mitch
26:36
is going to be doing throughout the season.
26:38
As long as he stays healthy is guard the hole.
26:41
That's what they're gonna do with them.
26:42
Make sure that he's an offensive rebounding machine, which he,
26:45
obviously, if you remember this Spurs and what the when he was
26:48
over there with this birds and what Mike Brown, that's what the
26:51
Spurs were doing with their big man and then the same thing what
26:54
we saw over the years with the Golden State Warriors, when they
26:57
were using their big men, they were using and I'm not talking
26:59
about train my green, it was Looney there.
27:02
I mean Looney was the type of guy that was just guarding the
27:05
hole and he was rebounding. That's what they used them for
27:07
in a shot blocker Mitchell Robertson's a better player a
27:11
better big man and I think that's what you gonna see more
27:13
with Mike Brown. What you did not see with Tom
27:16
tibeto over the last, I would say two years even with the big
27:19
men that have when they had pressures There.
27:20
And they had Mitchell Robinson. They were not doing that.
27:23
They weren't running. They're all their defense like
27:25
that. I think it's going to be
27:26
different when Mike Brown because he's gonna play Man
27:28
defense and that helps call Anthony towns.
27:31
And it helps a guy like Jalen Brunson.
27:34
Two guys that don't play a lick of Defense.
27:36
Yeah. And also, you think, oh good.
27:37
I'm gonna say, I was emphasized, the ball movement aspect because
27:41
he comes from the Spurs, and it's gonna be a triangle
27:43
offense, they like to move the ball.
27:44
It's gonna be a pass friendly office motion, motion motion
27:48
softball motion. That's the biggest thing.
27:50
I think that Golden State doesn't get enough credit.
27:52
For I just said, oh, it's just the three-point shooting, if
27:54
they're off ball motion, they move away from the ball.
27:57
That makes the Golden State Warriors offense.
27:59
Tough to defend and the Spurs were the same, kind of way the
28:01
Spurs probably emphasize more of an inside game with theirs.
28:03
I see, Tim Duncan with the mid-range shooting and the guys
28:06
are quieter with the mid-race shooting, when he developed his
28:08
game more, but they always emphasize ball movement.
28:10
They always it wasn't the isolation offense, not that they
28:12
couldn't do it on occasion. But that was the thing that I
28:15
think the Knicks are lacking at certain points too, where the
28:17
Knicks is with their wings during the postseason were Can
28:20
offensively. That's why OG had his
28:22
disappearing access certain point.
28:24
It was the defense, which is it was absolutely the defense and
28:27
the transitional defense that Tom Thibodeau was running in the
28:31
playoffs that pissed off, Leon, Rose and worldwide West.
28:34
I don't know if anybody watched the second round of the playoffs
28:37
and had a chance to see Leon rose on the sidelines when he
28:41
was out there. And when the Knicks were falling
28:43
behind the faces, he was making by the transitional defense, it
28:47
was bad. It was really really bad and the
28:50
Knicks got out of this second round and they actually as much
28:53
as everybody thought that they dominated the Celtics, the
28:56
Celtics had a chance besides that the three or four games
29:00
that the Knicks came back from the Celtics had a chance to win
29:03
this series, it wasn't in a complete blow, I even know the
29:06
next one. What was it?
29:06
Four games to two. I the Celtics probably if the
29:11
Celtics didn't choke the way they did and two or three of
29:14
those games the Celtics win the series and it wasn't even it
29:17
wouldn't have even been any clothes the Nicks Came back
29:21
because of what they did in the fourth quarter, it was really
29:24
the luck of the draw. I don't think Mike Brown's.
29:26
That type of Coach Mike Brown is going to play with the lead and
29:29
he's gonna use his guys to do the things defensively that he
29:33
likes to do and how he runs his defense.
29:35
Yeah. And you mentioned in Black Men
29:37
inside too. Like, I think the random guy
29:38
he's gotten work even in San Antonio, not even just 10.
29:40
Duncan Boris D out. Tiago Splitter, he coached over
29:43
there were good rebounders Golden State, you mentioned with
29:45
Looney too, was a guy who's got 10 points, like 20, rebounds at
29:48
a game sometimes too. That's what they mixed out of
29:50
the death of their big men. So do you think too like in?
29:54
In the picking of a coach is kind of what personal you're
29:57
working with or like you you brought in Jordan Clarkson and
30:00
and how that pertains to Mike Brown.
30:02
Do you think in any of that like as seeing the personnel and what
30:06
you have and what you saw that could have worked it worked at
30:10
times, but didn't do it enough. Do you think that played a part
30:12
in who they were picking and how they went about it in kind of
30:17
the manner of like, hey, this is kind of what we saw.
30:20
This is kind of what we want to do and did that play a part in
30:24
basically the final decision to bring Mike Brown Absol?
30:27
Lutely. And I'm going to tell you this
30:29
right now before they, they announced that Mike Brown was
30:31
going to be hired by the Knicks, they went to jail in Bronson.
30:34
They went to Josh Hart, they went to McKell Bridges.
30:36
They went to call Anthony towns. They wanted to ask all their
30:39
Stars, if this was going to work, if if this fit was going
30:44
to work and before, and I'm saying before they even
30:47
announced, Mike Brown was going to be the coach today.
30:49
I think they already knew at five days ago, and that's why
30:52
they brought in Jordan Clarkson. Like you said, absolutely why
30:55
they brought in joining? Clarkson is because Mike Brown,
30:58
probably knew, and wanted a guy like Jordan Clarkson to come to
31:02
the next and be his second secondary point guard.
31:05
Because I do believe now that you bring in Mike, Brown,
31:08
they're moving miles McBride, they're absolutely moving him.
31:12
There's no reason why they're going to keep three guards that
31:15
a plane, the point on this roster, Mike Brown.
31:17
And by the way, the one thing I could tell you about Mike Brown,
31:20
he likes to play young guys. That's something that Tom tip
31:22
but oh does not like to do Mike. Brown does like to do that if
31:26
you remember on the Cleveland The leaders, there were
31:29
practically all young players on that roster, with LeBron James
31:33
and all those other guys. A lot of the young players got a
31:36
chance to play and he rotated his offense through 13 to 14
31:39
guys. I expect the Knicks to use
31:42
between 13 and 14 guys. All season Jalen Brunson is not
31:47
going to be playing 45, 444 minutes.
31:50
I I could see Jalen Brunson playing 36 37 Karl, Anthony
31:54
towns playing 35 36, that's where they're gonna be playing.
31:58
He's not gonna run these guys out there and run him out early
32:01
in the season and where they're huffing and puffing and they're
32:04
not ready for the playoffs. That's not the way.
32:06
Mike Brown likes to run his offense and his defense.
32:08
It's a different offense and it's a different way.
32:11
He's going to be coaching moving forward for the New York Knicks.
32:14
I disagree a little arrow with what tibeto did to this team and
32:18
what why Brown's gonna be different right?
32:20
They're both defensive coaches, they're both notorious hard
32:23
asses Brown for his way out of Sacramento after getting coach
32:26
of the year. Because he couldn't stop going
32:28
after Darren Fox for being lazy and just like telling him that
32:33
this you got to see in this game and he would like put them on
32:35
blast in the media. Tibbs never did that to his guys
32:38
in the media. But let's face it, he's gonna
32:41
coach him hard. It is there any team ready for a
32:44
team that's going to be for a coach?
32:45
That's gonna coach him hard. It's a team that just had Tibbs.
32:47
So I'm not worried about that from Jalen Brunson in the crew.
32:51
I think they're actually going to take to him very well.
32:52
They, they're the type of group of guys that can take that
32:55
constructive criticism because no one's harder on Brunson than
32:58
himself, right? The Aaron Fox, not the same guy,
33:00
let's face it, but that's, that's the thing.
33:03
The thing about the playing them until they were tired, I
33:06
disagree with that. I think the thing that Tibbs did
33:09
that was so wrong, was that he played him so much.
33:11
He never got the bench minutes to the point where the guys like
33:15
heart and all the other piece is knew where the backup players
33:20
were going to be in the defense of rotation.
33:22
They didn't know where they're supposed to space when they were
33:25
on transition. So that's why the transition.
33:27
Offense look like crap. You're gonna tell me putting
33:29
guys out there, tell me what you're doing.
33:31
You're gonna tell me a bunch of professional players that have
33:34
played in the NBA multiple years, don't know where they're
33:36
playing and how 100% even 100% if you haven't played all year
33:40
with this thing. You don't that's bored, no way,
33:43
no way. Bulshit they don't practice very
33:45
much during the regular know that they don't have time, they
33:48
have game after game. After game, I have every
33:51
morning. They practice every couple of
33:53
weeks. They have a real practice.
33:54
They practice, they have walkthroughs.
33:56
That's a practice and they're running.
33:58
It's not. It is you can tell me you don't
34:01
learn how to get Space. Tell me all of you that we've
34:06
had on on our show telling me every day.
34:08
One would agree with this. I just can't come in cold.
34:12
I never play, I just now you're sticking up for top tip, but oh,
34:18
makeup was wrong. No, you're wrong.
34:22
Because you telling me Mike Brown at top tip at all, ah,
34:26
practically a safe type of coach.
34:27
They're not. Not what I'm saying.
34:28
Same time Wiley. It's a hard ass.
34:37
Pop that great. Popovich was a hard-ass.
34:40
The only reason why he was nice after he changed what Todd with
34:44
Tim Duncan came to the team asked the Admiral Howe, Popovich
34:48
coached him over the years before?
34:49
Tim Duncan came into the bed. Came into the came, on the
34:53
roster. Oh, I know and brown worked for
34:55
Popovich and learned Championship ways in that kind
34:58
of style of coaching. The only problem here.
35:01
That's the only is so different though Brown and how he plays
35:04
the young, guys, you mentioned it Darryl.
35:06
That's the big difference. Now, what you saw tips doing in
35:09
the playoffs was the equivalent of how I used to get chewed out
35:12
as a JV football coach of drawing plays up in the dirt.
35:15
Because when you haven't gotten guys like Speedy, help recover
35:21
the lawn, right? Did he play at all for like, a
35:24
month and a half? Yeah, it, you know, he came in,
35:27
gave them energy to first game, he was in.
35:29
And guess what? By the time those guys are in
35:32
after a while, if they have to play with the starters, they
35:34
haven't played with them in practice.
35:35
The guys, in practice to stars are playing with.
35:37
The stars are going against some of these backups when it comes
35:40
to actually playing with them in the rotation in the, in the
35:44
second quarter in the late, third quarter, early fourth
35:46
quarter, you saw the Knicks just not able to do it.
35:49
Tibbs didn't want to play that line up and brown will.
35:52
So I think that's why they went with him.
35:54
I am excited about it. I think that he's going to get
35:57
the bench ready and there's just one other thing that has to be
36:01
mentioned about this. No one coaches guys harder than
36:06
tips. No one plays guys more minutes
36:08
than tips, whoever they come from, that's going to be next.
36:12
It's going to feel like they're on vacation that they have all
36:15
this energy at the end of the season.
36:17
It's going to be so much better from that part.
36:19
You're saying Errol! That's true.
36:21
Maybe it'll keep guys happier. Will it make them?
36:23
I don't think, I think the bigger problem was that he was
36:26
basically drawing it up in the dirt with guys that he never
36:28
played. That's my thing.
36:30
Yeah, you know I also look at like with Mike Brown.
36:32
I think the familiarity aspect of bumping around different
36:34
teams too and still getting respect across the league too.
36:37
So something that I think this next team definitely get needs
36:40
to get to obviously I think they get respected across the league.
36:43
I think they're now established. It's not the laughing stock
36:45
Nicks that they were five years ago and stuff like that.
36:47
But I think from the player standpoint too trying to take
36:50
that next step to want to guys to want to come there because
36:53
the Knicks are doing that now Jalen Brunson has been doing
36:55
that since he's gotten there, they got Bridges, they got out
36:58
of me. This is all like these are the
37:00
Homegrown teams that you're seeing all the time, all you're
37:02
building the same core all the time.
37:03
This is a team that a lot of Trades at a lot of new piece.
37:05
The Knick fans are not happy with this move.
37:08
I everything that I've read on social media.
37:11
They're not happy. I think they were probably have
37:14
you think they wanted? I don't know, obviously, it was
37:17
probably Brian's. That's, that's the way I think
37:19
that's crazy. He was coaching the year two
37:22
years ago. Yeah, he was coaching the year,
37:24
two years ago. He is by far the most qualified
37:28
guy out there. Is not a sexy name but neither
37:31
was tips. It's the type of guy that makes
37:33
this Leon Rose group who we should all have faith.
37:36
Yes, that's the one thing I believe, right?
37:39
That's the one thing I believe in his Leon Rose knows what he's
37:41
doing. He's not an idiot and he knows
37:43
that if Mike Brown came in and he wound him which he probably
37:47
did. He understood what this team is
37:49
all about? And again Jalen Brunson isn't
37:52
Steph Curry, he's not but what Jalen Bronson does very well?
37:56
Is he understands how to draw fouls and go to the hole and
38:01
make plays in the open court? That's something like Mike Brown
38:04
likes to do. He likes to create spaces and
38:07
and understands what what Jalen Brunson strengths are.
38:10
And what obviously the other players like call Anthony towns
38:13
is as a big man on what he does. Very good.
38:16
The one thing I could say about Karl, Anthony towns this off
38:19
season, he needs to clean up is stop shooting those 60 or 70
38:23
foot jumpers at the three-point line, that is not going to work.
38:26
If the Knicks plan to run, Again with the same roster they have
38:31
right now, they have to get call Anthony towns, more involved
38:36
offensively and run the offense sometimes through him.
38:40
It was mainly run through Jalen Brunson and then when call
38:44
Anthony towns was the only guy on the court when it was the
38:47
other. The only big time Superstar on
38:49
the court, it was run through him.
38:50
So I want to see both guys work together and they'll be able to
38:54
run the offense to each and every one of them.
38:57
If need be if one's hotter than the other Tom Thibodeau.
39:00
Even when Jalen Brunson was not hot.
39:02
He was still running the offense through jail and Bronson he
39:06
needs to. If somebody is hot run through
39:09
that guy if mikal Bridges is hotter than Jalen Bronson and
39:12
he's hotter than calling Anthony towns, run the offense to mikal
39:16
Bridges. If o g n o b is hotter than
39:18
every single one of those guys call Anthony towns and and Jalen
39:22
Brunson run your offense to OG. I I remember and I against the
39:26
Celtics, I don't know if it was game for a game five.
39:29
The next Corner, hit a lick and in the fourth quarter, osiyan
39:33
and Opie hit like six straight points.
39:34
Remember that six straight points and then all of a sudden
39:37
he decided the the Knick started to jail in Brunson came back and
39:43
Jalen Brunson hasn't been on on the court for like three or four
39:45
minutes. They started running the offense
39:47
through him and said, oh, you know, be who was hot, that
39:51
didn't make any sense and that's Tom Thibodeau, he has more
39:54
trustees too much trust in jail in Bronson and Josh Hart by the
39:58
way. How many times did we see Josh
40:00
Hart? Take the ball off and try to go
40:02
to the hole and make mistakes. While he was doing passed the
40:05
ball, throw the ball away. That is not the way.
40:08
Mike Brown likes to run his offense.
40:10
I think it's gonna be a different style, what?
40:13
We didn't see what Tom did over the last five years with Mike
40:16
Brown. I think that's why the next dica
40:18
with him and not go with Bryant or Jenkins because I thought
40:24
they were more of Tom tip adult prototype, then a guy like Mike
40:28
Brown, who's gonna play His own style, his own way.
40:31
And like you said fish, I think that the Knicks, understand
40:34
where they want to be, and where the Knicks have a chance to be
40:37
next year is in the finals because the, the Eastern
40:41
Conference is going to be the weakest it's ever been.
40:44
There's too many injuries. How many times did we see it in
40:47
the playoffs? How many guys went down in the
40:49
playoffs? With the Achilles tendon injury?
40:52
We saw it in every single series, seriously.
40:55
We saw it. Mr. Dame time, he tore his
40:59
Achilles. He could be out his for the
41:01
season Jayson. Tatum tours to kill, he's out
41:03
for probably the season and then obviously Tyrese Albertson,
41:07
tearing his Achilles in the finals, he's out for the season.
41:10
You're talking about superstars going down and it could be out
41:13
for the season. And now the Knicks are sitting
41:16
pretty because they're healthy, they're they were super healthy
41:19
in the playoffs and now you have a chance where you're the you're
41:23
the king of the hell. Now you're the team that people
41:25
are going to want to beat in the Eastern Conference and the
41:28
Cavaliers, they're choked artists.
41:30
I I've seen enough of the Cavaliers over the last three
41:33
seasons. No matter who the coach is, he
41:35
didn't get any Atkinson who's a great coach.
41:37
They're just have too many choke artists.
41:40
When they get into the playoffs, they just are not the same team,
41:43
they are in the regular season. Now it's not know.
41:45
And he also look at the identity that the Knicks have brought
41:48
they've had playoff series that have been good.
41:51
Obviously obviously progressing from where they were in the past
41:54
where they couldn't even win a serious most of the time, but
41:56
But again, they still struggle a lot more than they should have.
41:59
And I think that's the other identity that you want somebody,
42:01
like, Mike Brown, who's under coaches and programs that have
42:05
dominated playoff series too with the Spurs, and with the,
42:07
with the Warriors too, the Knicks haven't had that sense of
42:10
like, where is that consistent? Like, throttling sweep that
42:13
we've seen in the playoffs, like, even the Piston Series
42:15
this year was a six-game series and a lot of those games were
42:18
closed, the Knicks. Had the physical endings with
42:20
two of those games, obviously talents at the big shot.
42:22
But again, it's not enough of it for the Nixon to be able to take
42:25
that next step. Now, obviously we talked about
42:26
all the parity in the NBA now where he haven't seen that level
42:29
of dominance in one series even with OKC that won the title this
42:31
year and a lot of seven games series but the Knicks have the
42:34
talent and like you said the circumstances to make that next
42:37
step with the Eastern Conference, being the Cavs them
42:40
and who else do the Knicks fans want to see colic this year?
42:43
Absolutely, the Knicks fans wanted to see colic all season
42:47
last year and he barely played because Tom Thibodeau does not
42:50
like to play. Young Players, is a ball handle
42:54
or some people think that he's a cap.
42:56
Why capable of being a starter on this team?
42:58
If he earns a spot on this roster?
43:00
Why why wouldn't Mike Brown? Give colic a chance if he gets
43:03
hot shooting the ball. So he's at he's quite capable of
43:07
moving, he's a great ball handler.
43:09
By the way, I've seen his pre-workouts on the basketball
43:11
court. When he practices, he's kind of
43:13
like Steph Curry and that on that magnitude he goes out
43:16
there. He's dribbling with two balls
43:18
crossing over. We're two balls, he likes to
43:20
practice using both hands and many different ways if you know
43:24
what I mean. But nevertheless, I want to see
43:26
colic play. I want to see what the Knicks
43:28
have on their bench. These young players that they
43:30
drafted. How about the two French kids
43:32
that they're bringing in? Now I want to see these guys,
43:34
they were on the national team for the France French team that
43:38
when the silver in in the Olympics, these guys are
43:41
actually good players. This French team, which is a lot
43:45
of people think, besides Team, USA could be the elite team, the
43:48
team that could be United States and in the next couple of years,
43:52
that's what I want to see. I want to see John kids develop
43:55
and Maybe become something something that we wouldn't
43:58
believe they would be over the you know, after all these years
44:01
of the next draft picks, and finding and searching these guys
44:04
and falling short, quickly was a good player.
44:06
That was a lien Rose guy and then Leon Rose traded him.
44:09
And now RJ Barrett trade and they brought in Ocean and Opie.
44:12
That was a big move for the New York next, developing him.
44:15
I look at Obi toppin Obi top and played a big factor with the
44:19
Indiana Pacers. It didn't work in New York
44:21
because he didn't get along with Tom Thibodeau and then he goes
44:24
over there, and Indiana and played a big factor as their six
44:28
man Off the Bench when they needed at aggressive donker or
44:32
that aggressive, you know, shot blocker Obi top and was there.
44:36
I, I think this is what you want to see what Mike Brown.
44:39
Speaking of the NBA offseason and this is going to be.
44:42
This is been a crazy couple of days.
44:46
The Grizzlies gave Jaron Jackson Jr.
44:49
A five year 200 and 40 million dollar extension with a player
44:55
player option. In 2029, it I'm gonna go through
44:59
this first. Let's go through each and every
45:01
one of these. Let's not even mention it.
45:03
I Jaren, Jackson Jr. It's a great defender.
45:08
He is not a 240 million dollar player.
45:13
Anybody that believes that he is.
45:14
Now, obviously if he doesn't get 240 million dollars from from
45:18
them, he goes somewhere else and he gets to 20 or even 230 and
45:22
he's still an elite defender in the NBA.
45:25
The problem right now is with the Grizzlies and there's a lot
45:29
of questions to who if John Moraine is actually going to
45:32
last there. If the Grizzlies are going to
45:34
decide, hey, you know what, we don't want to deal with his
45:36
Antics. We're gonna move away from him,
45:37
we don't want to deal with it. That's an interesting reason why
45:41
I believe they, they brought back Jaron Jackson Jr.
45:45
Not Jaron Jackson Jr. Is an old star.
45:47
He's been an All-Star for the last two seasons, or even three
45:50
seasons. He's a good player, he's a
45:52
quality player, and he's a fan favorite.
45:54
I just don't think he's a 250 million dollar player and that
45:58
to me with the free agent Market, what we gonna say Arrow,
46:01
there was some breaking news about him today that speeding
46:05
get down right after he signed this deal.
46:09
He had a non-affiliated with the team injury.
46:13
He has a bad turf toe injury. It's hard.
46:16
Shut me. Shut down for 12 weeks before
46:19
they reevaluate him. If you don't know what turf toe,
46:22
is that means you tore the ligaments in your big toe.
46:25
That's what turf toe is. You probably have nerve damage
46:27
as well. You may never get that feeling
46:31
back and the full range of motion in that toe.
46:33
So that's not a great way to start.
46:36
Do you remember? I have your deal.
46:37
Remember the last player that got an injury like this and was
46:40
never the same player. Remember join Noah, remember
46:43
him. Oh I remember.
46:45
Well, Noah played for the Bulls. He had five great Seasons with
46:50
the bulls but Derek Rose in that team.
46:52
That was a good overall defensive and offensive team,
46:55
Jimmy buckets was there and then what happened?
46:57
He got turf toe and after that he was never the same player.
47:01
The Knicks gave him an extension.
47:02
He comes to the Knicks and how many games did he play with the
47:05
Knicks? He played barely anything and
47:07
now was a Phil Jackson side. Oh, Phil Jackson Jeff.
47:10
So it doesn't work. I think this is a terrible
47:12
injury and I'm very surprised that they didn't have a
47:16
physical. They didn't give him a physical
47:17
before this to give him to. It was the next day he did.
47:20
He did it the next day like at some like pick up game.
47:24
That's all that's unbelievable. Bad luck.
47:29
Chris. Right?
47:30
So Speedy, I don't think you had them written in a great order.
47:32
So, I put them up here Arrow. The big news was the historic
47:35
contract to Shea gilges Alexander.
47:37
As far as guys that weren't going anywhere, have them split
47:40
up. He's getting to have the highest
47:42
annual value for contract, getting 71.25 million on average
47:48
over the four year 285, max deal.
47:50
Again, he wasn't drafted by the Thunder.
47:52
Therefore, he's not eligible for the five year version of it.
47:55
I will say this, I I think she deserves any money that gets
47:59
offered every player. I know, I don't attack any
48:02
players making their money, 71 million dollars.
48:04
A year is a little ridiculous. The last player that I remember
48:07
got that kind of NBA contract was Dane Dawn Dame time with
48:12
poorly gave him a two-year 60 million a year.
48:15
I think it was 120 million for 122 million for two years when I
48:19
saw that number, I was like, this guy is making 60 million
48:21
dollars and he's like 3233 years old.
48:24
I I'll show you is a young guy. He's what 26 years old?
48:29
He's not even in the prime of his career yet he's already won
48:33
his first NBA title. He's won his first MVP.
48:35
This guy is electrifying, he's a great defender, all around
48:39
player, he's not a one-dimensional player.
48:41
This guy is going to be around for a long, long time.
48:43
And this is a cheap contract because just imagine what it's
48:47
going to be two, three years down the road.
48:49
What these Stars Are Gonna Get, You see him making 71, you're
48:53
gonna see the next guy make about 80 or 90 million dollars a
48:56
year. And we've been talking about
48:58
this with the NFL. I I need Patrick Mahomes is
49:01
taking less money over the last couple of years because he wants
49:05
better players, and he wants his team to, to be a championship
49:08
competitive team, Tom. Brady, too, we seen it.
49:10
This Shea Alexander, he's not gonna take less money, but he is
49:14
with basketball. If you have a player of this
49:17
magnitude and you can run your offense through him, and
49:20
remember they are a one-dimensional offense.
49:22
That's what they are. Everything gets run through
49:24
Shea. And then everybody else is going
49:27
to get you 30 to 32 points, a game.
49:29
He's going to do everything right on the defensive side of
49:31
the ball. Is he worth it?
49:33
Absolutely. If there's anybody in the NBA
49:36
right now, where is that kind of money at the age of 26?
49:39
It's Shay Alexander. Congratulations to him on a
49:41
great season and a great run in the playoffs 701 Arrow.
49:45
Hey, how about this? This breakdown.
49:47
So 71.25 a year? Yep, 5.94 a month. 1.48 per
49:55
week, 868,000 per game. 212,000, per day. 8.8 thousand per hour.
50:05
147 dollars and 26 cents per minute and two dollars and 45
50:09
cents per second. He just made like thirty two
50:12
dollars in the time. I read that.
50:13
Unless if he ever divorce is with his wife, I'll hook him up
50:17
with one of my sisters and I might take him at that point,
50:22
Chappelle had his skin back in the day, where he got like Oprah
50:26
pregnant and it was like, he pretended, he won the lottery a
50:30
couple other ones out here that is winning the lottery.
50:32
It's a way, it's a version of winning the lottery, that's for
50:35
sure. Speedy.
50:37
A couple of names that are a little bit more obscure.
50:40
Yaakov pedal, got 104 million dollars from the Raptors so the
50:45
Raptors reaching and have. Well, the Raptors have been
50:48
pretty bad Speedy. Can you give some rationale
50:51
purple's been a pretty good player for a while?
50:53
He's a solid like big man. Like traditional big man.
50:56
Now, again, that type of money for a traditional big man.
50:59
I mean, there's only a few teams that would have given it to him
51:01
because like, it's not as valued.
51:02
Its in today's game, it's more. I always like, In college coming
51:05
out of Utah. He was always never great.
51:08
He was never a great shooter but I always thought he was a good
51:10
pastor for a big man. I think Toronto values, that
51:12
kind of thing. That's why I did drafted him.
51:13
He was good bench player on that championship team, but again
51:15
really hasn't developed much since then.
51:17
So, a little bit too much but I think again, they had to overpay
51:20
to keep him. I guess, Toronto, don't hold on
51:22
to players over the years. They've had a problem holding on
51:25
to players as we saw one, go all the way to the finals with
51:28
Indiana. So it is been a big problem over
51:31
the years for the Toronto Raptors.
51:32
And again, I didn't watch a lot of Toronto basketball all season
51:36
long, but I I do know this kid. Is he worth 104 million dollars?
51:40
Nobody's worth 100 and 4 million dollars but with the NBA and the
51:44
way they they pay their players. Remember there's 15 guys on a
51:48
roster, the money's got to be, you know, Evened out some way
51:52
and and he's like, what the six guy he really is.
51:55
I don't even think he's a starter.
51:56
He's like the six guy on the Toronto Raptors and you're
52:00
paying him four years, 104 million dollars.
52:02
If I was the 8th guy that I saw, I if I'm not mistaken, it was a
52:06
Sacramento. They're 14th.
52:08
Guy is making like five or six million a year and you never
52:11
steps on a basketball court. So I just think about that.
52:14
The you can't attack these players for what they're
52:18
getting. They earn the right to play in
52:19
the NBA. They earn the right.
52:20
And it's guaranteed, it's guaranteed.
52:22
It's not the NFL, the NFL is, the only sport that the money is
52:27
in guaranteed, the only Sport. And that's why I think the CPA
52:30
and the NFL, and the players union has to figure out how to
52:34
make this work, because it's not fair to the NFL players, they're
52:36
putting their lives, their bodies, and their heads on the
52:39
line. And they're not, they're not
52:40
getting guaranteed money, except the signing bonus.
52:42
And that's why all these players are asking for a big signing
52:45
bonus when they sign their long term deals.
52:48
Or yes, well let's get through the other three speeds and I
52:53
really want to hear your take on Julius Randle in a second.
52:56
But first James Harden, resigned with a Clippers two years, 81.5
53:00
million that's probably sure insurance that 40 million a year
53:04
gets spread out amongst the strip clubs in Los Angeles.
53:06
Great job for all his beard maintenance.
53:12
Feared maintenance companies as well heard, yeah.
53:16
When he first came into the league, he was drafted, it's
53:19
freakish brutal. He was good in college, too.
53:21
He was great in college, so I that was hardened, the t-wolves
53:28
decided that they're gonna go all in on the Julius.
53:31
Randle experiment, they traded for him.
53:33
They got divincenzo and Randall for towns.
53:36
They re-signed Randall for three years. 100 million 33.3 33333
53:41
million a year, right? So I don't know, I find that to
53:46
be an interesting deal especially after he kind of
53:48
really did the Julius Randle thing in the last round.
53:51
The playoffs they were able to be in and he really know showed.
53:54
I don't know why you give that guy money.
53:56
That's what. Tell you what was?
53:57
I could tell you the next did, but they kind of put them in
54:00
this hole. You know, you start with you.
54:03
How do you feel about this Randall?
54:04
Three years. 100 million deal. I don't think it's a bad deal
54:07
for the Timberwolves because I don't think anybody's gonna want
54:09
to go and play over there. Nobody wants to play with
54:11
Anthony Edwards. He throws his teammates under
54:13
the bus. We've seen that over and over
54:15
and over again. Do you think a superstar like
54:18
Giannis wants to go and play with Anthony Edwards?
54:20
He couldn't get along with call Anthony towns.
54:21
That's why he was traded Jimmy buckets, obviously couldn't get
54:25
along with him. He said, Superstars play with
54:27
him and they're all gone, it doesn't work.
54:30
Watch go. Bear is gonna get traded to
54:32
because he can't stand Anthony Edwards either.
54:34
He doesn't work well with teammates Julius Randle.
54:38
He can handle Anthony Edwards. You know why he can handle
54:41
Anthony Edwards cuz he's the same type of player as Anthony
54:45
Edwards. A crybaby, a crybaby, bitch,
54:47
that's what he is. He cries about things and he
54:50
believes that he's the best player on that roster.
54:53
Now, he's taking a step back since he's gone to the
54:56
Timberwolves. I believe he thinks that Anthony
54:58
Edwards is the guy. He's the second guy.
55:00
But nevertheless when he was here with the New York Knicks,
55:03
He thought he was better than Jalen Brunson, he thought he was
55:05
the leader of the team and that is why he's no longer a Nick and
55:09
he doesn't play well in big games.
55:12
He's not a big game player and either is Anthony Edwards as
55:15
we've seen over the last couple of years.
55:17
So they're practically the same, identical player and Anthony
55:21
Edwards. And him are probably butt
55:22
buddies, who knows? They probably screwing each
55:24
other in the shower room, I could care less.
55:26
By the way, Anthony Edwards broke up with his babies moms.
55:30
Did you guys see that and the child support?
55:34
He paid, the child support up front, to his, his fiance,
55:40
whatever she was just so we can get it out of the way and he
55:43
doesn't have to deal with it in the future.
55:44
Could you believe that that's Anthony Edwards.
55:47
Ladies and gentlemen, that's story came out a couple of days
55:50
ago, I read it. I don't know if it to be true
55:53
but what I've heard is he broke up with his babies moms and he
55:57
paid her up front. The child support because he
55:59
doesn't want to deal with her in the future.
56:01
That's Anthony Edwards, boys. Yeah.
56:03
What great leaders of course what is?
56:06
Oh yeah. What an absolute ass has a
56:09
daughter and that's what he does.
56:11
There was only one left Speedy just quickly mention it.
56:14
This is the guy that people were like couldn't believe wasn't in
56:19
the. Kevin Durant, trade Jabari Smith
56:20
Jr. That gets a five-year 122
56:23
million dollar deal from the Rockets.
56:24
It's I still don't understand how they were able to get to ran
56:28
for his cheap as they did this. This was the guy that you the
56:32
sun should have been asking for, I guess they were told no.
56:36
Yeah, what he got Speedy? Yes, Smith know, definitely,
56:38
definitely. Obviously top three pick in the
56:40
same draft with Chet, Holmgren, and bond.
56:42
Cheryl a lot of Pop, people thought he couldn't have gone
56:44
number one at the time his offensive prowess.
56:46
I don't think has really been as good in the NBA so far, I can
56:49
see basis but he's a good team player.
56:51
Could do a lot of different things and I think what the
56:54
rockets need with the identity, they're trying to bring a
56:57
special with the Joker being that Celtics type coach where
57:01
stressing that defense, he's got a lot of different things and
57:04
he's 22 years old still. So a lot of room for him to grow
57:06
their paying him early or the market will get up for those
57:10
types of players later, on First with the leak getting young as
57:13
it is, All right, time to talk trades.
57:15
There weren't any huge, huge trades but the Nets made a
57:19
little news trading with the nuggets for Michael Porter Jr.
57:22
Giving up cam Johnson, love this, movie in the Nets.
57:25
The deal love, that's interesting that you do.
57:27
I was gonna say, I love this move for the Nuggets.
57:29
I'd like to hear your take on this.
57:30
Well, Michael Porter, Jr. I think is a better player than
57:33
cam Johnson. He has been a journeyman since
57:35
he's come into the league now. Camp Johnson is a two-way
57:38
player. Michael Porter is is an
57:39
offensive player and I I do believe the Nets need a player
57:43
that they can build their offense around.
57:44
They don't really have that they have Thomas there.
57:47
But Thomas, I don't know. Is the bright light guy that
57:51
you're gonna say, oh, we got my, we got Thomas on our team.
57:53
I think a guy like Michael Porter, he's a known guy, he's a
57:57
known commodity, he's won an NBA title, he's a winner, and I
58:01
think he's quite capable of being a number one, guy on a
58:05
roster. Now, he is going to be the
58:07
number one guy there. He's gonna give you if he's the
58:10
if the offense is going for him, he's gonna score 24 25, Points a
58:14
game, he's capable of doing that.
58:16
As a third guy on on that nuggets team, he was averaging
58:20
17 18 points again. Now, he's the number one guy, he
58:23
can absolutely win games in Eastern Conference and the
58:26
Eastern Conference is so much more weaker than the Western
58:29
Conference especially when it comes to the back end of the
58:33
Eastern Conference. So you're going to see Michael
58:35
Porter, put up numbers that we've never seen Michael Porter.
58:38
Do cam Johnson. Obviously the nuggets are going
58:42
with him because of the contract.
58:43
They don't have to Michael Porter's making more money.
58:46
Cam Johnson's, making less. And I think, you know, swapping
58:50
both players and getting a little bit more for the bank for
58:53
the block with Cam Johnson because he could do, he could be
58:55
a two-dimensional player. That's why I think the Nuggets
58:58
went with Cam and why they got Cam and not make a move with
59:01
another team and bring in another player in a trade to
59:03
trade, Michael Porter. So, I that's the only reason why
59:05
cam Johnson is cheaper than Michael Porter Jr.
59:08
Yeah, that I think that was the big reason we were talking about
59:10
the Nuggets lack of bench production last year, a lot like
59:13
the Knicks at certain points during the year.
59:14
And I said that was a big reason why Malone got fired.
59:17
And again, these veterans that didn't want to come back, like
59:20
Russell, Russell, Russell Westbrook already said, he had
59:23
no desire to come back. He signed.
59:25
I don't know, he signed yet. But you look at now, the
59:27
collective like I was brown as well as a free agent which they
59:30
probably wouldn't have been able to do if they kept Porter's
59:32
contract. And then that's also get a high
59:33
upside type guy that they still could develop.
59:35
They want to stay young all at once.
59:37
If you could say healthy, he's probably the best player that
59:39
they have. And Scoring wise.
59:41
He does. You're right fish.
59:42
He doesn't degrate defensively but I think he's still better
59:45
than a lot of the ones. They have their always get
59:47
average. 25 points, a game Michael Porter Jr.
59:49
That's what he's gonna be good. Stay healthy though.
59:51
Like, this is not a guy that's a picture of Health.
59:54
He came into the league with back questions, that's why you
59:57
dropped originally in the draft. And then he sat out a year.
59:59
This is the, this is the type of guy that changed.
1:00:03
He's a trade you worried. Well, you're right.
1:00:04
I mean, because then that's aren't closed, right?
1:00:06
But the idea is, they don't realize.
1:00:09
They all got an unprotected, first round pick in 2030.
1:00:12
I don't understand. Get off of Porter because the
1:00:15
league views Porter is much lower asset than cam Johnson's.
1:00:19
A 39% 3-point shooter last year, better than Porter and Porter
1:00:23
supposed to be the offensive player.
1:00:24
So I would honestly look at cam Johnson as a better player going
1:00:29
forwards, the age, I don't know if at the age, is big of a
1:00:32
difference but Porter's been around for a long time,
1:00:33
everybody knows that he's not that it feels like he's not.
1:00:36
The same player is he was a couple of years ago when they
1:00:39
were winning. Obviously, A lot of things fell
1:00:41
apart there in Denver, we don't know the whole picture.
1:00:43
It's very interesting that he gets a fresh start.
1:00:45
I just, I really cam Johnson. I thought cam Johnson was at
1:00:49
times the best player on that team for long stretches for the
1:00:53
Nets. I don't think it's consistent
1:00:54
enough to be a number. I think you're, I think you're
1:00:57
looking at Camp Johnson a little bit higher than you should be.
1:01:00
I do know. I mean, they just traded a first
1:01:02
round pick and Porter for cam. So the reason we're protected,
1:01:06
the reason why they did that, I'm gonna tell you why.
1:01:08
The reason why they did that is because Michael Porter is a
1:01:11
little bit older than cam Johnson.
1:01:13
That's the only reason why they did that.
1:01:15
That's the only reason why they did that.
1:01:17
And Michael Porter is an injury problem player.
1:01:19
Can Johnson, besides the, the couple of years, I think, when
1:01:23
he was on the Suns, the Phoenix Suns.
1:01:25
He has been fairly healthy with the Nets.
1:01:28
And, and Michael Porter is entry, Pro Player.
1:01:31
If you would ask me right now, you asked any expert who's
1:01:33
better? Michael Porter Jr.
1:01:35
Camp Johnson. I think a lot of those experts
1:01:37
would tell you my Michael Porter, Jr.
1:01:38
When healthy is much better than Camp.
1:01:40
Johnston. But Michael Porter and it's not
1:01:42
Michael Porter is never healthy and that's the problem.
1:01:45
And I think the Nets only brought him in to be to use them
1:01:48
as a trade ship, if he has a good season, they're going to
1:01:51
move him at the trade deadline to a team.
1:01:53
That's going to overpay for them if they need an offensive
1:01:56
option. Well, we know when we know
1:01:58
Michael Porter is definitely better because Nathan said, the
1:02:00
cam Johnson was better. Oh yeah, the Nuggets also added
1:02:04
Jonas, Valen shoes. The big Center.
1:02:07
He kind of like generation does. Hit the three a little bit
1:02:11
traded him for Dario to. I didn't even know was still in
1:02:14
the nuggets. Are definitely trying to retool
1:02:17
a little bit nickeil. Alexander Walker sign and trade
1:02:21
to the Hawks. The Hawks keep making moves
1:02:23
Errol. Yes, you know, we saw during the
1:02:25
draft, they started with before the draft, even with porzingis,
1:02:28
we saw them make the move in the draft to go back and add that
1:02:33
unprotected pick next year, so they have a real shot at
1:02:36
retooling. They're trying to build around
1:02:38
Trey young, I don't know. If that's the wisest decision
1:02:42
though, that's what I believe that.
1:02:44
I don't believe that with the Hawks.
1:02:46
I think that one way or another, they're going to trade Trey
1:02:49
young, if not this year. Next year.
1:02:50
I don't think so. Why are you adding like
1:02:53
ancillary pieces? Because these guys, because this
1:02:57
is an organization that doesn't do anything right?
1:02:59
When was the last time they did something right.
1:03:01
Okay, and, and Trey young, he's the prototypical guy that you're
1:03:06
going. He's going to give you if he's
1:03:07
healthy. He's going to give you 28 29
1:03:09
Points, a game. There is gonna be a team out
1:03:11
there willing to overspend for him.
1:03:14
And by the way, next year's draft class is much better than
1:03:17
it is this past year. And I'm telling you right now,
1:03:20
don't be surprised at the trade deadline that the Hawks just
1:03:24
completely pull everything away and say, you know what?
1:03:27
We're trading this guy, we're trading that guy.
1:03:28
Oh yeah, train young, we're trading him here.
1:03:30
We'll go trade him to the Golden State Warriors because the
1:03:33
Golden State Warriors are gonna give us their first round draft
1:03:36
pick. Its to me, this is just what the
1:03:38
Hawks do, all the time, every single Time there, there are
1:03:42
good team. They just trade them away.
1:03:43
It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, the Hawks had a stretch
1:03:46
obviously with 2008. I think 2019, were they the
1:03:49
longest play a playoff success rate in the NBA?
1:03:51
I think the longest, I like, by the way, I like the Valentine's
1:03:54
move, I love that move for the Nuggets.
1:03:57
That is a great move for the Nuggets because this guy is
1:04:01
great on the boards. And he's a good offensive player
1:04:04
in the paint and he's mean, he's mean like yokich and and that's
1:04:08
what you want. I I think they're going to play
1:04:10
an aggressive type of game and and Valentine's is an aggressive
1:04:14
player. So I like that move by then I
1:04:16
guess great. I was a slam dunk move I know
1:04:19
it's not like something that really stands out to you guys
1:04:22
but you watch with him and yokich playing back and forth
1:04:25
with one another and working off each other.
1:04:27
It's going to work. Yeah it's gonna work.
1:04:29
You always look at the depth, the big man of being important
1:04:31
in some facets when it comes to just the production on the
1:04:34
rebounding end. And again you saw that like
1:04:36
accumulating deaf wife. Now Valentine's wasn't on the
1:04:40
Toronto. A chip team.
1:04:41
He was traded for Marcus all, but he still was valuable in
1:04:43
certain areas to get them to rise to that point and the
1:04:46
Nuggets too. The same kind of thing you want
1:04:48
to use Aaron Gordon more as the offensive type big man.
1:04:51
He's not as good of a raw Defender as somebody like
1:04:53
valentina's inside that it's been steady his whole career and
1:04:56
yokich loves to pass the ball and this guy loves the dunk the
1:04:59
ball. You're gonna see a lot of
1:05:01
highlights with Valentine's. And like I said, he is mean he's
1:05:05
a mean player hard, fouls. He beat you up in the paint and
1:05:09
that's what you want to see from a player.
1:05:11
Your kitchen is gonna love him. These guys are gonna be fun to
1:05:14
watch. I'm telling the best backup
1:05:16
center. He's had yes to work with 100%
1:05:18
in 100%. I, I need to know what you think
1:05:40
about. The Malik Beasley thing because
1:05:42
they immediately the Pistons sign and traded Duncan Robinson.
1:05:46
So play basically the Beasley role.
1:05:48
Now that we know that Beasley ain't playing basketball know
1:05:52
what happened? Was your take boys yesterday.
1:05:55
But yeah, I was, it was interesting and and Jake brought
1:05:59
up a great clip on just, you know, just how.
1:06:02
And I I said, it's like the tip. The iceberg we only see so much
1:06:06
and so who knows how deep this really goes. yeah, it was, it
1:06:11
was just interesting to see how Quick it turned and how it got
1:06:17
legs so fast, but it's also interesting.
1:06:20
Arrow brought up, something wide, like the district attorney
1:06:23
and stuff was involved in. You're just like, well, was he,
1:06:26
was he laundering money? Was he doing something?
1:06:28
So? And, and we were all kind of
1:06:30
like, Interested in it but we don't really know exactly like
1:06:35
the whole story of what it is and why there's so many people
1:06:38
involved in it. But the clip that Jake showed us
1:06:41
was really, it was a 12 point or they were up 11 and a half and
1:06:45
he literally takes it, Sprints down, the court, and dunking and
1:06:48
covers. And so you're just like, oh,
1:06:51
okay, well nobody does that now it's looks a little fishy.
1:06:55
So this will be interesting to see how plays out, but yeah, he
1:06:58
he ain't gonna be playing for a while.
1:07:00
I I like, first of all, I think players should be allowed to bet
1:07:04
on Sports, not their own games, but other games and I don't know
1:07:08
if he bet on his own game, but if the District Attorney's
1:07:11
Office saying he did, they're saying that he did and it was
1:07:14
like prop bets. Fine fine.
1:07:16
But why is the district attorney involved with an unless there
1:07:18
were laundering money because it was legalized in Wisconsin.
1:07:22
That's where it happened, right? It happened against the bucks.
1:07:25
So if it's legalized in Wisconsin, why is the district
1:07:28
attorney involved with it? Nobody knows the true story but
1:07:31
everybody is saying, well we're never going to see beastly again
1:07:33
in the NBA. That's a bunch of crap if you
1:07:36
ask me and again if you're going to come out and say oh you are
1:07:40
going to come out with these stories and gonna say well this
1:07:42
guy's involved and that guy's involved and the district
1:07:44
attorney is involved. Why don't we know the whole
1:07:46
story? Why do we have to wait?
1:07:48
We all about. The Otani thing when that came
1:07:50
out. Why don't we know about this?
1:07:52
It must be really know everything.
1:07:54
About the Otay know, I told, you know, the MLB, brushed it onto
1:07:58
the rug, we all know what happened, that's the facts fact
1:08:01
that Jack and I don't get the Beasley thing.
1:08:04
And if I were the Knicks, if I were the Knicks, when Beasley
1:08:08
becomes available, I bring these two, he won't be playing.
1:08:13
He's in jail. He's gonna be in jail for Point
1:08:17
shaving. He'll join Johnson Porter on Tim
1:08:20
Donahue. He's a basketball league.
1:08:22
I, you got to prove it, you gotta prove it.
1:08:24
So, Tim Duncan's basketball, that would be the place for just
1:08:29
a couple of signs. Before we get out, we have to
1:08:34
talk about the Bucks waving game Lillard, using that old stretch
1:08:39
provision invented for whose speedy.
1:08:42
Stretched for president. Miles the stretch.
1:08:45
Who did it? Who did the Knicks hat?
1:08:47
Who did the next decide to stretch that ruined them for
1:08:50
years decided to stretch? Myles Turner, they spit it out.
1:08:55
No, not years ago. I don't care about the stretch
1:08:59
in the next. I care about this stretch
1:09:01
provision was was like originally it was called like
1:09:04
the Allen Houston Rule and no actually have a modified
1:09:07
actually they modified it. The next, when they put it in as
1:09:10
a rule, the Nyx decided to do the stretch position that
1:09:14
Chauncey Billups because they thought if they did that they'd
1:09:16
have enough money to make a run and it ended terribly.
1:09:19
So the Bucks are pulling that, move taking the salary that was
1:09:23
due for game, the big money, and stretching it out over five
1:09:26
years. So they could afford to go get
1:09:28
Myles. Turner on the floor.
1:09:30
This hurts Indiana, this hurts Indiana, they lost now, you
1:09:34
think about Indiana right now, they lost Tyrese Helper and for
1:09:37
the whole season with his toy Kelly's Myles.
1:09:40
Turner is a big man who could shoot the three, he could do so
1:09:44
many things on the boards. And now you lose him to free
1:09:47
agency. Now and you lose Tyrese Halpern.
1:09:50
Indiana went from one of the best teams in East probably
1:09:53
Falls to like 9, they're nowhere.
1:09:57
Close to the team. They were this past season and
1:10:00
that absolutely hurts them. So I I didn't know, I didn't
1:10:04
understand why Indiana are allowed Myles Turner even to go
1:10:07
to free agency, and and again, it just tells you one thing
1:10:10
about Indiana. They had a chance to get honest
1:10:13
and what, how Burton did. And his father did after that
1:10:17
Series in, in the first, in the first round probably pushed away
1:10:22
or gave him no chances of getting honest, if he becomes a
1:10:25
fan of available because he's not gonna want to go and play
1:10:27
Indie with Indiana when the Halbert and they're there.
1:10:30
So I that's what would have made sense to me.
1:10:33
Oh, we lose Myles Turner, we're gonna get Giannis, it's not
1:10:37
happening anymore and Janice is getting traded, it might not be
1:10:40
right now. It might not be in the beginning
1:10:42
of season Giannis. By the trade on is getting
1:10:45
traded. He's not happy with this
1:10:47
organization and losing Dame. Game wasn't playing for the rest
1:10:50
of the season. Anyways, he was not playing this
1:10:53
year at his age. He's what 35. 36, he tore his
1:10:56
Achilles, but Giannis Wanted game to be there.
1:11:00
That's why he decided to extend his contract and now Dame is
1:11:04
gone. Best believe you think?
1:11:08
Do you think as the leader of that team in Janice?
1:11:11
Do you think they even gave him the respect or wear with all to
1:11:14
talk to him and ask him? He was surprised he was upset
1:11:18
and he was surprised. I think that's what that's when
1:11:21
it came out and said he was upset like, I think if you make
1:11:24
that effort to know, like, why he, why he signed these, because
1:11:28
he wanted that guy. If you literally like, just go
1:11:31
and be like, hey, you know what, he's getting older and, like,
1:11:33
kind of he may not like it, but at least he has to respect you
1:11:36
for the fact that he was given the respect of like, hey, this
1:11:41
is kind of the direction we're going.
1:11:43
You can't really be pissed about that if they don't, you know, do
1:11:47
it behind your back and you find out via Twitter, somebody tells
1:11:49
you, right? Horrible.
1:11:51
I think that That's gonna push you on this out and this is an
1:11:55
organization that's been behind his family.
1:11:57
They're the one that this organization moved Janice's
1:12:01
family from Greece to America, taking care of him.
1:12:03
Made sure that he was happy. Gave him.
1:12:06
How many contracts? I think this is his third
1:12:08
contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.
1:12:10
And he's made a lot of money here in America.
1:12:13
But now Janice is at the tail end of his career, he wants to
1:12:17
win another championship and he knows he's not gonna win in
1:12:20
Milwaukee. This team is old, there's no
1:12:22
Talent there and I don't care if they bring in Myles, Turner
1:12:25
Myles. Turner is not a superstar, he's
1:12:27
a good player, he's a quality player, he's not a star.
1:12:30
So I I don't know how this is gonna work, I think Myles.
1:12:34
Turner is gonna be honest, not as good as John is, but he's
1:12:38
gonna be, he's gonna be playing the role of Giannis, when it's
1:12:41
get straight and it's gonna have to play the role.
1:12:43
It's like a second optional offense, which we can get away
1:12:46
with. If you're the Pacers offensive,
1:12:47
had a lot of other good Shooters around him Milwaukee.
1:12:49
Really doesn't have that right now.
1:12:50
Little drift very well. Yeah, Milwaukee, Is a lot of
1:12:53
similar style type bench players.
1:12:55
They have a lot of defensive forwards type thing and I think
1:12:58
they even they re-signed Bobby porous but I think they lost
1:13:01
someone else. They lost Brook Lopez too.
1:13:02
So like it just don't have a lot of deathly.
1:13:05
We know Doc Rivers is not the greatest coaching either and
1:13:09
he's gonna run that team into the ground.
1:13:10
If the front office hasn't done more enough of it all ready and
1:13:13
that's definitely gonna make Giannis much more frustrated.
1:13:16
Now again the rumors did not say the honest, requested the trade
1:13:19
officially but it's seems like it's leaning in that direction.
1:13:23
But if you're a Rockets fan job, you would absolutely have to be
1:13:27
pumped about pumped up about this offseason.
1:13:29
We already mentioned the trades that we mentioned, the big move
1:13:33
to get the big man, Durant, not having to give up Jamari Smith
1:13:37
and extending him. Look at what else.
1:13:39
Did they got? Clint capela back their old
1:13:41
rebounder they brought him back. Three year deal older age and
1:13:45
they brought in another guy locally that we've seen for a
1:13:48
while. Dorian Finney Smith on a four
1:13:50
year, 53 million dollar deal is a fan just in general job if
1:13:55
you're team is loading up like that.
1:13:57
How excited are you? Well, I think it's their filling
1:14:00
holes and not spending a buttload of money.
1:14:02
Not just putting all your eggs in one basket.
1:14:04
And, you know, when you, when you go and see kind of where you
1:14:08
need to fix and not necessarily fix, but, you know, add and
1:14:11
subtract and to be able to do it and with, you know, good
1:14:16
contracts that are good for, you know, I was a cappella being a
1:14:19
little bit older and knowing his role but you know, get that
1:14:22
three year that comfort. In the field, those spots, and
1:14:24
infinity Smith, with what he is able to do.
1:14:26
I just think when they're feeling spots and see that
1:14:29
they're making an effort, you can only be excited about them,
1:14:32
trying to put that team in a position to win.
1:14:35
So I think they some holes that they really really needed.
1:14:38
And click capella has been a journeyman for the last.
1:14:41
I don't know. Five, six years.
1:14:43
I'm just gonna say, like, seven, eight years probably he's been a
1:14:46
journeyman, he's a good player. He's a good defensive player,
1:14:48
he's offense is really one. He doesn't have much of an
1:14:52
offence. He doesn't shoot very well for a
1:14:54
four. Sometimes, you know, with the
1:14:56
Hawks. He was playing Five at some
1:14:58
points of the season. So, a compeller is a good
1:15:01
player. He's a good rebounder, but he's
1:15:03
not a great player. So he's a good guy off the
1:15:07
bench, that's what I would say. Clint capela is.
1:15:09
He's not a starter anymore. That's what definitely not a
1:15:12
starter anymore, but still useful guy in the league and we
1:15:15
said the other team that's loading up is the Hawks.
1:15:17
They also add Luke Kennard a dookie Darrell an old dookie.
1:15:21
Nice. Sharp shooter Wing player
1:15:25
doesn't play with the Duke team that lost South Carolina news
1:15:30
for you guys. Most Duke players don't play
1:15:32
defense. When they come to the NBA JJ.
1:15:36
Redick is another one, dude, Baddie, a played a lot of ya.
1:15:39
Did Grand Hill played two, he was a two-dimensional player.
1:15:42
Kyrie Irving, no, play a lick a defense.
1:15:44
I mean, if you go up and down the the great Duke players that
1:15:48
have played in the NBA Jason Tate of plays defense, but very
1:15:51
few of them that become good players in the NBA play a lick a
1:15:55
defense. So that's very that's very Coach
1:15:58
K S who actually preaches defense.
1:16:01
So figure that one out. It doesn't make it that's true.
1:16:03
At least the guys that played for him slam their hands on the
1:16:06
floor. Trying to pretend like they're
1:16:08
playing defense. No good.
1:16:09
The last guy I got here. Their Speedy Gershon yabas goes
1:16:14
to the next. I like this.
1:16:16
And that's the guy from the French team.
1:16:17
That's the, I guess he's like a 6/8 Center sort of.
1:16:22
Yeah. But he's an outside stretch guy
1:16:24
basically, right. He's gonna be like a stretch for
1:16:26
type thing. Could do a lot of different
1:16:28
things. And again, a good contract for a
1:16:30
player. Well, around, he always liked to
1:16:31
see that when a player is not just one type of specialist
1:16:34
either, you would use him in many different rotations, we
1:16:36
talk about where we're talking about the Knicks with, Mike
1:16:38
Brown, how he's gonna like play the bench to be a lot different.
1:16:40
And that's I think a big key. When you look at somebody like
1:16:43
that, he's a perfect type of prototype.
1:16:45
You saw him alive. I have a lot of those types of
1:16:46
players with the Cavs and LeBron was younger.
1:16:48
Those types of rotational power forward types and Sacramento
1:16:52
didn't work as well, but they haven't, he was more.
1:16:53
They just built the team that way because they're much more
1:16:55
back Corridor team. And I will say this, what the
1:16:59
Knicks are trying to do now is pretty obvious.
1:17:00
They're going French, that's where they're going.
1:17:02
They got three French for when people three years, I hope not.
1:17:09
I mean, I'm not a wimpy fan. I know a lot of Knick fans would
1:17:12
be excited to have weapon Yama but I I just I'm not a fan of
1:17:16
his. So those are one of the guys.
1:17:18
I know everybody says, oh, you don't like how could you not
1:17:20
like Steph Curry. Why are you not like webbing
1:17:22
Yama? I just think he was overrated
1:17:25
when he came to came to the NBA and anybody that wants to come
1:17:28
out and say that this guy could go down as one of the greatest,
1:17:30
if not the greatest NBA player of all time, you're on drugs
1:17:34
because nobody's going to be better than Michael Jordan no
1:17:36
matter how many championships weapon Yama wins.
1:17:39
And by the way, I'll be surprised if he wins more than
1:17:41
two. Okay, that's all I'm gonna say
1:17:43
about that. That's it.
1:17:45
All right. And guys, there'll be more
1:17:47
stuff. I'm sure and basketball this off
1:17:49
season. But for now, that was the first
1:17:50
rendition of our free agent Roundtable, and I want to say
1:17:55
something else, this is not great Popovich anymore, the
1:17:59
Spurs they brought in Dillion Harper, I love Dylan Harper.
1:18:02
I think he's gonna be a great player, how it?
1:18:04
And everybody's attacking me on tiktok right now, saying, how
1:18:08
could you say that the Aaron? Fox and Dylan Harper won't work.
1:18:11
And it's pretty simple out. Dear and fox is six foot three.
1:18:15
So what are you gonna do? You gonna move Dillon Brooks to
1:18:18
a shooting guard position where he's more of a point guard.
1:18:21
You gonna play a two-dimensional point guard game, where these
1:18:25
guys are gonna cross over and hog the ball and not give the
1:18:28
ball to wiping. Yamaha it's not going to work,
1:18:30
you're gonna see, it's not gonna work.
1:18:32
They're gonna have to decide, they're going to decide to go
1:18:34
with the rookie Dillion Harper. This is happening.
1:18:37
This, the same thing happened in Sacramento.
1:18:40
When you had Halbert and there and D Aaron Fox, they had to
1:18:44
make a decision. Vision.
1:18:45
Do we want to keep the iron fox or do we want to keep Tyrese
1:18:48
Halpern? Well, guess what, they made the
1:18:50
wrong decision as much as I like the Aaron.
1:18:52
Fox Tyrese. Halburton has been the better
1:18:55
player over the last two seasons.
1:18:56
That's the fact Jack Sacramento has not gone past the first
1:19:01
round. Indiana has been in multiple
1:19:05
multiple positions to go far into playoffs.
1:19:08
As a matter of fact, last year, before this year, they were in
1:19:11
Eastern Conference Finals when they got knocked out by the
1:19:13
Celtics. And this past year, they were in
1:19:15
a finals, maybe next year. Well, not next year, because
1:19:17
they're not healthy. But I you got what I'm saying,
1:19:20
howbert and is it game-changing player is the Aaron Fox.
1:19:23
He's not. And that's that's all I'm gonna
1:19:26
say you gotta, you got to decide who you're going to keep, and I
1:19:29
know fans are not going to like it.
1:19:30
It's going to be Dylan harp. And by the way, Dillion Harper
1:19:33
is a beast. He is a beast of a player
1:19:37
defense offense, six foot six and his father.
1:19:41
Does anybody know who Ron Harper is, well, go look him.
1:19:44
He played on those Chicago Bulls teams he is a all World
1:19:48
defensive player and if Dylan Harper has any kind of style of
1:19:52
defense like his father, his father was in a really good
1:19:55
offensive player. Dylan, does you have an
1:19:57
offensive player in a defensive player like a prototype of Ron
1:20:00
Harper? Watch out?
1:20:01
This guy could be as super as a superstar should be.
1:20:05
So Ron Harper, the guy that would hypothetically shut down
1:20:08
the top, four ball, handler of all time, Steph Curry.
1:20:11
According to somebody, I'm gonna tell you this right now.
1:20:13
What its gonna be, isn't it, isn't it?
1:20:18
Funny Dylan. Harper's rookie contract is more
1:20:20
than his dad made his career. Yeah, that's Accurate.
1:20:23
And yeah but you know when you're when you're a father is
1:20:26
Ron Harper, you think, Ron Harper gives a crap, he's going
1:20:29
to get a piece of that money. His old sonny boy, will take
1:20:32
care of his old daddy dukes and oh, yeah.
1:20:34
And his mom it by the way. His mom was a good athlete too.
1:20:37
So if you know, the background of the Harper family, I think he
1:20:41
has a sister. That's a good athlete, a track
1:20:43
and field Runner. I mean, the family is loaded
1:20:45
with Talent when it comes to athletic ability.
1:20:47
So congratulations to Dylan Harper.
1:20:49
I can't wait to watch him play with webinar.
1:20:52
I'm not a weapon Yama fan, but I'm a Dillion Harper fan, and I
1:20:55
will buy a Dillion Harper, a Dillion Harper Jersey, because I
1:20:58
root them on. He played for a New Jersey team.
1:21:01
He's on here on the east coast and I I love watching him play.
1:21:05
So it's gonna be, I'm glad he's in the NBA so I don't have to
1:21:07
watch him beat our ass every year they got too good.
1:21:12
I'll tell you this. Oh, both Rutgers gonna be Stars,
1:21:16
they're gonna be stars. Now, one of them just needs to
1:21:19
learn how to shut his mouth. Dillion Harper doesn't talk, he
1:21:21
lets his game. Do the talking, we'll see what
1:21:24
happens with the guy over there and you talk.
1:21:26
Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, our two of the day.
1:21:32
You not a lot. I don't have a lot but Ladies
1:21:42
and gentlemen, are Deuce of the day.
1:21:44
We were speaking about it yesterday.
1:21:45
Thank you, Nathan, for reaching out to me and telling me guess
1:21:49
who's coming out of retirement? Yes.
1:21:51
Ladies and gentlemen Darren Waller has come out of
1:21:55
retirement and was traded yes, the New York Giants traded him
1:22:00
for a conditional pick to where late is it gentlemen?
1:22:03
The Miami Dolphins. So what is that?
1:22:07
Spell l, o s e r loser loser. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:22:13
I have no idea why Miami even traded to pick.
1:22:18
I don't even know what it to conditional.
1:22:20
Pick is, it could be a fourth of 5th.
1:22:21
It doesn't really matter. Darren Waller has been out of
1:22:24
leak for year. He wasn't the same player when
1:22:26
he went to the Giants. The Giants could keep him on the
1:22:28
field for two years more than 12 gains.
1:22:31
The guy is a waste. He the story is great.
1:22:34
This guy was in Elite tight end for maybe two years.
1:22:36
And then after that, he Is completely disappeared and now
1:22:40
he wants to come back. Why?
1:22:41
Because he had to pay his wife, some money after they had a
1:22:44
divorce, she's one of the best athletes we've seen in women's
1:22:48
and women's sports. And she's not crying about it.
1:22:50
But Darren Waller his rapid careers completely over.
1:22:54
So what is he gonna do? He's gonna come back to the NFL
1:22:57
and try to make a statement with a comeback.
1:22:59
Bob boy. Oh boy, if anybody checked out
1:23:01
his rapping, it is one of the worst i i oops who said it was
1:23:06
really good. He's horrible game.
1:23:10
I if you want to hear an athlete right?
1:23:12
Good James actually good. He's actually pretty good
1:23:14
rapper. He's been on with Jada Kiss.
1:23:16
He's been on with a bunch of rappers.
1:23:17
This guy Darren Waller, he has been absolutely putrid.
1:23:21
Oh, it's horrible. His career was one and done, but
1:23:25
I believe his comeback is going to be one and done.
1:23:28
I don't think he's gonna last the whole season because the guy
1:23:30
can't stay healthy. So my dose of the day goes to
1:23:32
the terrible. Miami Dolphins has they bring
1:23:36
back the one and only Darwin Waller and maybe it's not such a
1:23:39
douche to the Giants because they got something back for a
1:23:42
guy that they didn't think was gonna come back from pick to
1:23:47
throw it a tight end. That's our juice.
1:23:50
All right, ladies and gentlemen, when we come back, we don't have
1:23:53
a guest tonight. Believe we have a lot of topics
1:23:55
to get into, we're gonna come back with King of the Hill and
1:23:58
then sounded out. But first, our Sports minute
1:24:01
with the fish. Three.
1:24:04
Two. This is the Java and the mouth
1:24:07
Sportsman is. Okay guys, Aaron Fishman here
1:24:12
with your sports minute, gonna go through a few stories.
1:24:15
Before we go into the baseball scores tonight, A woman has come
1:24:19
out and accused Buffalo Bills. First round draft pick Maxwell,
1:24:22
Hairston of sexual assault. Stemming from an incident back
1:24:25
in 2021, the woman. Rebecca Hendrix alleges that
1:24:29
when Hairston, and her were, in the same dorm in college, at the
1:24:32
University of Kentucky, that in that March, according to the
1:24:35
lawsuit, Harrison went to Hendricks room without being
1:24:37
invited, and followed her into her room, after she declined, to
1:24:41
hang out with him after Hendrix, expressed her non-interest in
1:24:44
engaging, in sexual intercourse with him, several times,
1:24:47
Hairston forcefully, removed her pajamas shorts and sexually
1:24:50
assaulted. Her Harrison is Agents, is Agent
1:24:52
have not responded and he is not charged with a crime, the bills.
1:24:56
Reportedly knew about this incident before drafting
1:24:59
Harrison at the time. Brandon Dean said that the team
1:25:02
fully investigated allegation of sexual assault in 2021 at
1:25:06
Hairston, says that Hairston was an impeccable kid, quote on
1:25:10
quote and it doesn't seem to be anything there.
1:25:12
The bills will have to hope their initial assessment is
1:25:15
correct. As this case, does not seem to
1:25:17
be going away in the forcible future.
1:25:20
Jake Paul is in the news once again to defend his boxing
1:25:24
prowess against International political pundit Piers Morgan
1:25:29
who called Paul's unanimous victory over Julio Cesar Chavez
1:25:33
Jr. On Saturday and unwatchable
1:25:35
farce Morgan continued, that Paul is killing boxing with his
1:25:40
boring stage BS against older Fighters way past.
1:25:43
Their Prime Morgan's post has more than irritated Paul and his
1:25:47
camp and most valuable Productions stating that the
1:25:50
comments are baseless and irresponsible and not only
1:25:53
undermines the Integrity of the sport but is the Fami and causes
1:25:57
reputational damage to MVP Jake Paul.
1:26:00
And the commission, enough is enough, we will be exploring all
1:26:03
options including legal action to hold accountable, those
1:26:07
spreading, such deliberate and harmful lies.
1:26:11
While Jacob call may be, right, he may be any maybe a ranked
1:26:14
boxer now technically, his threatening to sue people
1:26:17
calling him out for the obvious is a little much even for
1:26:21
someone who wouldn't watch Piers Morgan in a gazillion years,
1:26:23
maybe Paul will get to fight a current box or improve his case.
1:26:27
Once for all once, and for all but we all know there's less
1:26:30
money in him doing that class Story.
1:26:33
Indiana Fever took home the WNBA commissioner's cup with out star

1:33:43
Are you made fun of what I said at the end sounded like you
1:33:46
said, Dolce whatever, They're not foolish what I was saying,
1:33:51
Hey listen, I I'm thinking of food because I can't have it
1:33:54
right now, so I might as well enjoy thinking about it and
1:33:58
anyway, please don't don't complain to me about any of
1:34:01
that. Well, I, I could eat this stuff,
1:34:03
but I'm trying to be a little bit more careful.
1:34:05
I am not drinking any sugar drinks.
1:34:07
I'm going to stay away from it for the next couple of months,
1:34:10
but besides that, I should be allowed to eat whatever I want.
1:34:13
If I'm not drinking the sugar drinks because that's what.
1:34:16
That's my killer. Anybody that knows anything
1:34:18
about sugar drinks. If there is any like, Crush
1:34:22
Soda, Crush, Crush, Crush grape, or any of that stuff around me,
1:34:26
I am swallowing that bottle down.
1:34:28
I like lemonade too, love my lemonade.
1:34:30
So I have to stay away from all of that.
1:34:33
For the next, dude, just die. I gotta go.
1:34:36
Die it or let me die. To what?
1:34:38
I'm not just diet lemonade. I'll just lemonade.
1:34:44
I don't want diet for getting iced tea.
1:34:46
I'll just well, welcome to being Part of the, the anti sugar
1:34:51
World. Well, I'm just, I'm not gonna
1:34:55
stay away from sugar, I'm just gonna stay away from sugar
1:34:57
drinks. That's what I'm gonna stay away.
1:34:58
You should try to stay away from unnatural sugar.
1:35:01
That's the general thing. They say like hundred and stuff.
1:35:04
Like that's not terrible refrying refined, okay?
1:35:07
I want to have some cake. Why can't I have some cake?
1:35:10
I'm not gonna stay away. sure, just get the ones that have the
1:35:16
sugar free or the no sugar added.
1:35:18
So I have to stay away from sugar, completely, come on, get
1:35:22
out of here. I'm not that Arrow.
1:35:23
If you just say like, oh, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna eat the
1:35:27
soda but I'm gonna eat cake. That doesn't change that you
1:35:30
need. I have Shia was gonna eat cake
1:35:32
every day, but if I want to have a week, I could have cake once a
1:35:37
week. Why not?
1:35:37
I'm just saying you could you the way that I, when I found
1:35:41
that I was type 1 diabetic and I don't have that.
1:35:44
No. But I just found a bunch of
1:35:46
desserts that were similar to desserts.
1:35:48
I would want to have and then after you don't, you don't have
1:35:51
sugar for a few weeks, you don't really like miss it like that,
1:35:54
and you just want to have a desert.
1:35:56
So you can have like a very low sugar, Brownie and ice cream,
1:35:59
and things like that, and you, and it's not that bad, it really
1:36:02
isn't. But it's a big change.
1:36:05
It is man. I like I said, it's Fourth of
1:36:07
July, on Friday. I am going to have, I'm not
1:36:09
gonna drink any sugar drinks, but I am going to have some cake
1:36:12
and I'm gonna have the opportunity to Joy, my fourth of
1:36:15
July, and then I'll go back to, you know, being being this
1:36:19
garbage. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen,
1:36:22
we call the next segment, King of the Hill.
1:36:25
Here's the King of the Hill. This Bobby is the Beltline you
1:36:30
never ever hit below that. Not that kind of King of the
1:36:33
Hill you dumb. This is King of the Hill.
1:36:38
All right. Where's the boy guys?
1:36:39
Bring them in everybody. Come on in for King of the Hill.
1:36:42
You guys know the drill. It's everyone trying to Dethrone
1:36:47
the king. The king is Arrow marks.
1:36:49
At this time, we got music for this as well.
1:36:52
We can throw on in the first round.
1:36:53
It's a peasant fight and it's going to be everyone versus
1:36:56
everyone. The two guys that do the best
1:36:59
according to King Arrow will go on to the joust.
1:37:02
And in the joust, they will battle it out to go to the final
1:37:06
round to take on the king and whoever wins will be decided by
1:37:09
all of the king's subjects. See if he stays the king or we
1:37:12
have a new king for next week's game, you guys ready to play
1:37:16
King of the Hill? That's take a dump.
1:37:19
Let's go. All right, so we've got, I heard
1:37:22
some criticism about this. So I changed some of the topics
1:37:26
here real quick. We're going to go starting off
1:37:29
around one best power forwards of all time.
1:37:33
Had to be a power forward in the NBA.
1:37:37
All right. Now, that's what we're, that's
1:37:39
the rule. The old definition of what a
1:37:42
power forward is. Let's call it our angle.
1:37:46
I'll be over here. The king is here, and we have
1:37:49
five competitors. That's how we're on.
1:37:52
We'll start it off. Let's get the interns, don't
1:37:55
like it when they go with the end.
1:37:57
So we'll put them in the middle and we'll start it off schools.
1:38:01
Best power forward of all time. I'm gonna go with, Tim Duncan
1:38:04
pretty obvious choice as one of the best big men of all time
1:38:08
basically. Um, Tim Duncan was just that
1:38:11
dude. Basically, the measuring stick
1:38:12
of what a power forward, should be for quite some time, and
1:38:16
five-time champion, and really Stellar play all around two
1:38:19
time, MVP as well. Give me Tim Duncan.
1:38:22
All right, job. I'm gonna go with my guy.
1:38:26
Good friend of mine Charles Barkley.
1:38:30
Played the position. Obviously he had the nickname
1:38:32
for a reason. You know, coming coming out of
1:38:37
Auburn and doing what he did at his size is that position and
1:38:40
kind of facilitating and what he was and how he was able to take
1:38:44
over games and explosive. And Just One of a Kind
1:38:49
personality too, that's for sure.
1:38:51
All right, Aaron. I'm gonna go with ski.
1:38:56
You could possibly see one of the best players and is in his
1:39:00
era when playing with, with off, CJ, Lebron, James, and Kobe.
1:39:04
All those guys winning in Dallas against the Miami Heat.
1:39:07
You can, you can really put him up there with any of us off for
1:39:11
his honestly in the NBA for what he did and coming in with this
1:39:14
so she unique shot but yes I will go over there.
1:39:18
It's all right, Jake I'm gonna go with the big ticket to go to
1:39:23
Kevin Garnett. Probably the best argue, the
1:39:26
best of power for it all time. Also could, you know, some of
1:39:30
their, you know, carry Minnesota for a long time.
1:39:33
You know, they almost to the finals.
1:39:35
Didn't quite make it, then he goes over to Boston and helps
1:39:37
them win a championship with the original big three array Allen
1:39:40
and Paul Pierce and the kg Lockdown Defender and probably
1:39:44
the best soccer ball time. All right.
1:39:48
Speedy for two. All right, fish.
1:39:50
I don't know if this qualified I'm gonna I want to go with two
1:39:53
of the same name though, if that's the case as Moses.
1:39:56
Malone, consider power forward or center before in that.
1:39:59
Okay. All right, yeah, so I'm gonna go
1:40:01
with him to start. Obviously I mentioned Julius
1:40:03
Erving, an art debate last week as part of that Sixers team
1:40:06
alone obviously was the other big guy great great rebounder.
1:40:09
One of the best of his era defending defensively and again
1:40:12
a tough tough group that they play against I guess.
1:40:14
So Celtics teams and all over the years so I'll go with him
1:40:17
for one and then I it's great if a defensive player but one of
1:40:20
the best offensive power forward, we have ever seen all
1:40:23
the mailman for a reason. And I think again we talked
1:40:25
about error adjusted guys, probably would be one of the
1:40:27
better Shooters today's game. If you were playing at that time
1:40:30
because he was prolific scorer, holding a couple score records
1:40:32
for a while. All right, back to Jake.
1:40:37
All right, so my next pick, I'm gonna go with pelvis.
1:40:39
Saw pretty much was Kobe's running mate.
1:40:41
For the second half of the Lakers.
1:40:43
He was great on offense, great defender as well.
1:40:46
He was pretty much secondary school and he was, you know,
1:40:49
always there for me in this place.
1:40:50
You know, the shots think, like, come up, get a grab rebounds
1:40:54
back up and he always just, you know, helpful glue guy for Kobe
1:40:58
whenever he needed. So, yeah.
1:41:00
Aaron. Oh, I just I just had the
1:41:05
vanilla and alcohol forgot. Sorry.
1:41:07
Also check out Excuse me. I I literally just had it.
1:41:13
Well, skip you. Well, you might lose them Java.
1:41:15
Yes, what happens Java. I'm gonna go not a real sexy pic
1:41:21
but I'm gonna go Horace. Grant.
1:41:24
His individual stats weren't great, but he was such a pivotal
1:41:28
impact player in knew his role. he did make an All-Star game, he
1:41:32
won four rings, had a great career and I just I loved that
1:41:37
he knew what his role was and didn't care about the individual
1:41:41
stats because as we see but I think there's an impact of what
1:41:44
he did for the teams that he played on that.
1:41:47
That makes him silently. Go down as as one of the best.
1:41:51
All right, Aaron he got anything.
1:41:54
Was Dennis Rodman. Considered a powerful powerful.
1:41:57
Yes. So Dennis and Dennis Rodman.
1:42:00
I mean, honestly, you can say with the Pistons with the Bulls
1:42:02
are one of the best in his Arrow.
1:42:04
Playing with Michael Jordan, playing one of the best spot for
1:42:09
its at least in his era getting rebounds getting having this
1:42:13
crazy stat line. But I'm gonna who was your first
1:42:16
guy Aaron? If I think it was it, I think I
1:42:20
might have been Chris Bosh. Maybe I was in my head and once
1:42:24
it got once I came in, once I was like ready know, your first
1:42:28
pick he's saying, Who's your first day?
1:42:30
Yeah. Who's your friend?
1:42:32
Oh my God. Dark?
1:42:33
What I say dark? Yeah, I said dirty.
1:42:36
Okay, Tommy for two. All right, I'm gonna go.
1:42:40
Nobody wants Charles, Barkley. Correct.
1:42:41
No job at the job. Yeah, I believe it's one of the
1:42:44
first ones taken, Tommy. Let me go with.
1:42:48
Let me go with someone like Shawn Kemp Sean Kemp for a while
1:42:52
was known as one of the best dunkers in the league.
1:42:55
Pretty much pretty dominant defensive, dude.
1:42:58
Pretty big guy who had a yam it down on people and I'm gonna go,
1:43:01
Sean Penn and my number two, This one might be unpopular, but
1:43:07
I'm gonna go Giannis. I'm gonna go with Giannis
1:43:08
antetokounmpo, basically very dominant player of recent
1:43:12
memories. Very one of the biggest dominant
1:43:15
defensive guys, in the recent years of the recent NBA era.
1:43:19
So I'm gonna go on us. I wouldn't call yanis.
1:43:22
A power forward know. He's alive.
1:43:24
He's a five, he's a five. I think.
1:43:28
Yeah, never played forever. He's a pleasant play for it.
1:43:32
He's a fine. He doesn't really play like a
1:43:36
place more like a four. I mean I you could say it's a
1:43:39
four I would say he's more like a point guard as a center.
1:43:42
That's why it feels like he's going forward or maybe like
1:43:46
stretch four or five. It's just defensively.
1:43:49
He plays five. know, I understand that, I don't really
1:43:52
think he's listed as A set, you know, when you do like daily
1:43:57
fantasy it's like he's usually at like a center or like a
1:44:00
hybrids like it's powerful. Yeah.
1:44:02
It's I would say it's not powerful because I've never seen
1:44:04
them deeper did deeper. Mister.
1:44:09
There's a lot of good ones. There's a lot of good ones you
1:44:12
know that ball, don't lie still available.
1:44:17
You just all right Fisher. I need to get confirmation
1:44:20
pelvis, all power. He's already taking who took
1:44:23
him? All right.
1:44:28
Well, you know, I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna have to go old
1:44:31
school then. Um, To I go.
1:44:38
I'm not going to crackhead. You guys know I'm talking about.
1:44:44
um, I think, you know, I'm gonna go It's between two.
1:44:53
I don't. Know I'm not picking Lamar Odom
1:44:56
shity serious job again just give me one.
1:45:00
Let's I'm gonna go Larry Nance okay obviously high flying guy
1:45:05
just would kind of like I think was one of the initial
1:45:10
electrifying athleticism at that position was a great shot,
1:45:15
blocker protected, the paint Stylistically.
1:45:19
I think was, was a guy that brought something at the power
1:45:22
forward position before a lot of guys did.
1:45:24
So yeah, I'm gonna go with my man, Larry Nance and his son
1:45:29
dunked with his jersey on, which was dope.
1:45:30
I remember that Aaron. All right, I'm gonna go with
1:45:34
Chris Webber. Chris Robert.
1:45:36
I mean honestly I again and it's era.
1:45:38
Oh, I want to one of the best in his Arrow playing against the
1:45:41
Lakers. And that in that early 2000
1:45:44
series Kings, bringing the king's guys, remember who you
1:45:49
picked, because we're gonna before I make my design.
1:45:51
I want to know who exactly you bet.
1:45:53
Again, one of the best in Zara brought the Kingston at least in
1:45:56
those early 2000 days almost to the finals.
1:45:58
But yeah she's such a dynamic player special, what he did in
1:46:02
the college basketball, but the NBA going with Jake.
1:46:07
I have to ask, Will you guys give me Kevin Durant?
1:46:12
I would I know, right? I would yeah.
1:46:17
I give him most of his career, he was a three.
1:46:20
I wouldn't say, I'll make a difference.
1:46:22
If you guys don't want me, I won't, I would say that's a
1:46:24
stretch but it's up to the king. Yeah, I'll allow that.
1:46:28
Yes, Kevin Durant. Okay.
1:46:29
All right, all right, well I'm gonna stick with Easy Money
1:46:31
Sniper then Kevin Durant. All these times Champion for
1:46:34
MVP, pretty much 611. You know, he plays a good guard
1:46:38
at 6:11 and shoot the lights out for pretty much anywhere there's
1:46:41
super clutch and, you know, going against arrows, favorite
1:46:44
meal Jaya. He was taking down the Cleveland
1:46:47
Cavaliers all the time and it Kevin Durant, obviously.
1:46:49
Now he's gonna be, you know, fuck it.
1:46:51
He's constantly fucking get her. One of the greatest Shooters of
1:46:54
all time as a special and he was underrated.
1:47:00
And Speedy to finish it up. All right.
1:47:02
I'll go with the same name. Different last name Kevin McHale
1:47:04
and there's 80 Celtics teams, obviously one of the better
1:47:07
Defenders rebounders at that era.
1:47:09
Very I got one of the we a lot of our guests say one of the
1:47:12
most balanced eras when it came to the dynasty teams and that
1:47:15
Celtics team. Like they're all saying a few
1:47:17
weeks ago definitely one of the best ever and Kevin McHale
1:47:19
defensively as an anchor to go along with Robert Parish big
1:47:22
reason why for that All right, that's everybody names.
1:47:26
We didn't hear. We're Rasheed Wallace.
1:47:29
Dave, debusschere. Someone took my cow.
1:47:32
Bob Pettit should probably if you're gonna go old school.
1:47:35
Probably thought about Elvin Hayes too.
1:47:37
Jerry Lucas is another one to go all the way back.
1:47:42
No one said Blake Griffin. You figure remember his Peak was
1:47:47
pretty nice there for a while as well.
1:47:49
It's not a whole. Who's going on to the house.
1:47:50
Um, Tommy, who did you pick your?
1:47:53
Three guys. Um, I picked Barkley.
1:47:56
Duncan and no, I think you don't even know who you picked
1:48:00
Eliminator know twice. I did not you Play.
1:48:15
I win the game. I told you to make sure where's
1:48:19
my power forward. Barkley Horace, Grant Larry
1:48:27
Nance, okay? Aaron Aaron had dirt.
1:48:30
Oh no no don't say anything. I want to hear if you know, he
1:48:35
knows what he picked. Go ahead, Aaron.
1:48:39
Oh yeah, it was dirt. Okay, Weber and Rodman.
1:48:44
Okay. Jake, who'd you pick?
1:48:48
I kg Powell and KD. Speedy.
1:48:52
And I had an awesome Malone's Carl and Moses and Kevin McHale.
1:48:56
Okay, so I'm gonna take Speedy for sure because he knows these
1:49:00
guys he gave me information, he understands what these guys did
1:49:06
in the league. So I'm going with Speedy I I
1:49:09
really like Aaron and Jake's too so I'll let them both.
1:49:12
All three of them move on to the the Jaws because they all had
1:49:15
really good picks. I, I was very surprised.
1:49:18
Tommy didn't realize in, the only reason why I didn't pick
1:49:21
you up is Larry Nan's know, I Horace Mann, I could see because
1:49:27
that, at one point, Horace Grant was a big part of those early
1:49:30
Bulls championships. And I like tours Clan, tell me
1:49:34
with the glasses and and but when he was traded, I mean he
1:49:37
wasn't the same player, but I know, you know, the glasses
1:49:41
story, too? He was legally blind.
1:49:42
Yeah, that's why he worm, yes. But then he got Lasik and he
1:49:46
didn't wear them for a while and he was getting letters from kids
1:49:49
that he made the glasses. Cool.
1:49:51
So, that's why he kept wearing them.
1:49:53
That's true story. I forget about Grandma, you
1:49:55
either know as well over at power forward.
1:49:57
All right, so we got a manager joust going on right now.
1:50:03
For round two. Don't know how that would work
1:50:05
in Tommy. If you remember your guys, if
1:50:08
you remembered your guys you could have moved on.
1:50:10
You've got your guys you got to write it down, you got to
1:50:12
remember who you pick. I mean remember what I remember
1:50:15
it was now and honest it just I don't think Giannis was counted.
1:50:19
All right, let's move on to the joust.
1:50:23
This one's a fun one. Biggest NBA draft busts of all
1:50:28
time. Arrow.
1:50:30
Who do you got? Let's just let's get everyone
1:50:33
out. That's not in this one and let's
1:50:36
get back to our camera. And here we go.
1:50:39
Started off with whoever you want Arrow, who starred in this?
1:50:43
Let's go. Let's go Aaron.
1:50:46
Jake speedy. Speedy knows so.
1:50:50
Speedy has, he has to be the handicapper because Speedy knows
1:50:53
more than these guys. All right.
1:50:55
Aaron biggest draft, Bust The Vault time.
1:50:58
Okay, I mean off the bat, I was probably one of the biggest but
1:51:02
again on top of my head, Kevin Knox with one of them for me. 20
1:51:10
years. So.
1:51:11
Yeah, 2018. But I remember that picking him
1:51:13
at. You know, how that makes goal?
1:51:15
They pick a guy. Everyone's gonna be great and I
1:51:19
mean, I think, I believe it's only somewhere else but yeah, I
1:51:21
want to You definitely not one of the best picks and he's
1:51:28
probably up there. One of the biggest books Arrow.
1:51:31
You remember how much Maddie caps and Jeff both love Kevin
1:51:33
knocks out of the draft. It's like, oh we gotta see you.
1:51:36
Haven't not was in a boss, he wasn't the number one pick so I
1:51:40
wouldn't say he was but he was a bike.
1:51:42
Yeah, but he wasn't a number one pick.
1:51:43
He's not one of the worst busts of all he was a top 10 Pig.
1:51:46
It doesn't matter. He's not it.
1:51:47
You, if you're gonna go with a bus, you go with a number two,
1:51:50
one number two, and number three, that's where you go.
1:51:52
You know, if I were to tell you that he was taken ahead of his
1:51:56
Kentucky team and teammate, Shay Gil, just Alexander, is it still
1:52:00
not a bust? Know, I would I don't I don't
1:52:03
call there's a lot of other guys.
1:52:05
There are a lot of other guys. They're a lot of.
1:52:08
All right, Jake. Hi, this one's pretty easy for
1:52:12
me. I'm gonna go with number two,
1:52:14
overall pick 2003 dark on Milledge.
1:52:16
It's pretty pretty bad. Look, when you get picked in the
1:52:19
middle of four hall of famers and, you know, one of them still
1:52:22
playing to this day. I mean, you look at it like
1:52:24
LeBron go and he's going to the Hall of Fame, Carmelo, Anthony,
1:52:27
Chris, Bosh, and Dwayne Wade, all Hall, famous currently, and
1:52:30
you don't even really know who dark milk that just now.
1:52:32
And that's just a horrible, horrible one for the tension.
1:52:34
So yeah, it's pretty easy. One for me, Speedy for two.
1:52:37
All right, so I'll go with a number one over.
1:52:39
I'll pick you mentioned. LeBron his former team, the cash
1:52:42
I think Anthony Bennett number one, overall at 2013 40x, that
1:52:46
was bad that was never thought of even if it's barely, a top 10
1:52:49
pick. Nevertheless, the number one
1:52:51
overall pick in that drafted. A lot of those other guys in
1:52:54
that dress, didn't turn out very good either.
1:52:55
But he better with a guy that was just tall and athletic but
1:53:00
had barely any skill on offense whatsoever.
1:53:02
Yikes, so that's number one. And the number two, I'll go with
1:53:04
the Memphis Grizzlies number two overall, pick a cheap, one of
1:53:07
the other highly hyped, big men at that time so I could overall
1:53:11
now okay and end up recovering nicely after that getting
1:53:14
gasoline and rant and ran off from the time to build that
1:53:17
great and grind team. But drafting him to not help
1:53:19
either. Hashem.
1:53:21
The dream, the beat Jake. All right, so for my second
1:53:26
pick, I am going to go with a Michael, Jordan draft, pick
1:53:30
himself Kwame. Brown number one overall, pick
1:53:33
back in the day and over the Washington Wizards.
1:53:36
All you really have to know about all my ground is.
1:53:38
This viral? Stephen, Ace of the book.
1:53:40
This man is a bona fide scrub. It can't play no disrespect, but
1:53:45
this man cannot play the game of basketball.
1:53:46
He has small hands. It doesn't really know what he
1:53:49
doesn't. Really have a post move or a jab
1:53:51
or a move that he can do and put two together.
1:53:55
So yeah, on my brows. Aaron for two.
1:54:00
All right, so I'll go on this one.
1:54:02
I go, I'll go back to your prior, let me 17 with my cocoa.
1:54:06
So that that's a bus and I have, I remember when it happened and
1:54:10
everyone was really happening this guy up and the Sixers win
1:54:12
within their trusted process kind of Arrow.
1:54:15
But cute ended up being absolutely nobody.
1:54:18
And I don't know, buddy, he really didn't do anything.
1:54:21
I don't think he even from what I remember, he was just hurt all
1:54:24
from off the bat and never really did anything.
1:54:26
He forgot how much he forgot how to shoot that.
1:54:29
Never learned how to shoot. That's the real question.
1:54:30
That's right. So I'll go back to him and say
1:54:34
Marco folks. All right, and your last pick.
1:54:38
my last pin code that I just have Oh, moving on to go to the
1:54:42
2003 draft and say don't go. Now we already had went so that
1:54:48
I'll give you a hint. There is a guy that's still
1:54:51
playing for the Nets right now. Making a lot of money.
1:54:53
Okay, there's one. Oh yeah and stands out.
1:54:59
There's one. I'm thinking of that.
1:55:00
No one said. Yeah, I know another one.
1:55:01
I know a couple of them. I know a couple of them.
1:55:03
So, you know, I'll throw out Ben Simmons.
1:55:06
That's guy really. Honestly, honestly, do he was
1:55:17
terrible. He's Like was it was it was ever
1:55:24
since that lay up that he couldn't tell.
1:55:28
Yes, 100% of us. All right.
1:55:31
Jake Should say really pretty Aaron you say in those six years
1:55:36
picks, that really hurt me that hurt me to my core man.
1:55:38
That just a couple that actually a couple.
1:55:40
He's so forget about Errol, he's actually on the he's on the
1:55:43
Clippers now. He's not even on the Nets but
1:55:44
whatever. Anyway, for my last pick I'm
1:55:47
gonna go with back to the 1984 draft know, Sam Bowie.
1:55:51
Another similar to darker melted in the middle of Elijah and
1:55:56
argue with the greatest player of all time.
1:55:57
Michael Jordan the only average about like 10 points and he
1:56:00
didn't even play that long. He never really had a very
1:56:02
memorable career and you know, looking back.
1:56:04
Obviously at the time before in the NBA, they thought enters
1:56:07
were the The Meta and that was kind of like I'd have a center.
1:56:09
Are you working on doing anything?
1:56:10
And looking out how to guards game and how Michael Jordan was
1:56:13
pretty much the Prototype player with the NBA was more into you.
1:56:17
It's not a good look for Portland in San Luis, so yeah.
1:56:20
Classic and Speedy to finish it up.
1:56:22
I'll finish it off with Adam Morris and Charlotte Bobcats, a
1:56:26
Gonzaga obviously power forward, high draft pick at the time and
1:56:30
never amount to anything. I don't want that everyone
1:56:33
thought like Anthony Bennett would be overly skilled in the
1:56:35
NBA at that position trying to be that game changing type like
1:56:38
Chris Bosh wasn't his position, definitely not the case.
1:56:41
Guys forgot about old before came from the Duke Blue Devils.
1:56:45
There's a guy that I remember when I was a kid, they was
1:56:47
drafted like late 90s, the Candy, Man, Michael Oher.
1:56:51
Was he terrible Clippers couldn't play dead in the cows.
1:56:56
Gave Craig Road. Yes true.
1:56:59
Greg Oden he wasn't just had that injury that ruin his
1:57:04
career. He wasn't a bus.
1:57:04
He was gonna be special. It's just well, I mean I mean
1:57:07
not gonna play but like still I didn't live up that.
1:57:09
Yeah. If you're gonna say that, you
1:57:11
could say Len Bias, right? Yeah, yeah.
1:57:13
Never played it a game, right. So, right, right, right.
1:57:17
All right, arrow, who's moving on to the finals.
1:57:19
It was really, really close with Jake and speed.
1:57:22
It really was and I can go either or But I'm gonna go with
1:57:27
speedy. Speedy was pretty much on Target
1:57:30
on two of them. And I was thinking of two of
1:57:33
them and Jake, you were wrong about some of the first two
1:57:36
picks that you went with. So I was very close, very, very
1:57:40
I'm surprised that you was much as she did.
1:57:42
But I'm gonna go. It's All right, guys, I will say
1:57:47
that last dance. Documentary definitely did help
1:57:49
a lot but yeah, goodbye but good luck, Speedy.
1:57:52
All right, everybody back in right now for the finals for the
1:57:57
voting portion of the finals. And we're going to go into this
1:58:02
last stage. A chance to take on the king,
1:58:06
Speedy with a chance to throw in the king.
1:58:09
Let's see what's coming up in round three.
1:58:12
It's going to be a good one. Arrow, you're gonna love this
1:58:14
best fights of our time. Not fair to.
1:58:18
This could be either UFC, it could be boxing.
1:58:21
It could be Mike Milbury attacking fans with a skate, it
1:58:27
could be whatever you consider to be the best fights of all
1:58:32
time. Could be bum, fights, whatever
1:58:35
it is. You decide.
1:58:36
Let's see what she got Arrow. You want to go first or second,
1:58:40
I'm gonna go first. First.
1:58:44
All right. Arrow number one.
1:58:45
The Thrilla in Manila Muhammad Ali versus Joe, Frazier 1975.
1:58:50
I remember that. And and who doesn't remember
1:58:53
that fight? One of the more Realistic fights
1:58:58
that we can remember in boxing history, two of the best
1:59:01
fighters, one from Philadelphia, the other one who doesn't shut
1:59:03
the hell up and Muhammad Ali. Mr. Tippy toes himself and it
1:59:09
was a great fight. One of the greatest fights I've
1:59:12
ever. Well, I never got a chance to
1:59:13
see, but I watched the replay of the fire.
1:59:15
So one of the greatest boxing fights I've ever seen.
1:59:17
So I'm gonna go with Thriller. Yeah.
1:59:19
So thank you for giving me ideas of how to be creative for this.
1:59:22
What I'll start with the baseball fight, I don't know it,
1:59:24
right? I go after Robin Ventura and
1:59:26
inside for when Ventura the White Sox and Nolan, Ryan with
1:59:30
the Texas Rangers, everything's a bigger in Texas as they always
1:59:32
say and you don't want to mess with the guy that, that is one
1:59:35
of the greatest pitchers ever and Robin Ventura.
1:59:37
I'm at the legend. Definitely learned that I love
1:59:41
that thick Errol. I'm gonna go, Marvin Hagler
1:59:47
versus Tommy Hearns in 1985, one of the greatest fights back and
1:59:52
forth. You're talking about two of the
1:59:53
best fighters in the division of all time.
1:59:56
You when you talk about top 10 greatest Fighters, you're gonna
1:59:59
put Marvin Hagler and Tommy Hearns great, one of the
2:00:02
greatest fights in 95. And, and if you remember, if you
2:00:05
watch any of the old movies or movies that they bring back true
2:00:08
stories, that fight always pops up in the movies because it's
2:00:11
standing, stood out from all the rest.
2:00:13
So, I'm gonna go Marvin Hackler, and Tommy Hearns.
2:00:16
All right, we go with me, talking about a month ago and
2:00:18
the Allison, the palace, why not?
2:00:19
Go with that one Pistons Pacers we're on our test.
2:00:22
Obviously, all those guys instigating with the fans and a
2:00:26
really stood the test of time and obviously a lot of our
2:00:29
guests have mentioned that too experience that they've had in
2:00:32
the mall of the palace. Still being talked about almost
2:00:34
20 years ago today, with the Pacers and the Pistons, all the
2:00:36
wallaces and Metta World. Peace, AKA rotor.
2:00:39
Whatever you want to call. I'm trying, I'm trying it.
2:00:42
I'm trying to figure out but I'm trying to think of a fight like
2:00:48
a mixed martial arts fight, that really stood out for me.
2:00:50
Over the years, I could go to a couple of them, but I'm trying
2:00:55
to, I'm trying to stand because I know Jake loves mixed martial
2:00:58
arts. So I'm trying to think of one
2:01:00
that really, really, you know what, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go
2:01:03
with this one because this, this is a, this is a fight I remember
2:01:06
and may rest in peace, Mr. Stephan, bonnar, the Forrest
2:01:11
Griffin fight versus Stephan bonnar.
2:01:14
I don't know if anybody seen this fight.
2:01:15
This fight was a war Forrest Griffin, who won the next
2:01:19
Ultimate Fighter? And and Bonner was a guy.
2:01:22
These guys were two friends, they got a long on and off out
2:01:26
of the Octagon. They beat the hell out of each
2:01:28
other. In the Octagon.
2:01:29
It was one of the greatest UFC fights you'll ever watch.
2:01:32
It was fantastic to watch and Forrest Griffin.
2:01:35
After that fight became a superstar.
2:01:37
So I'm gonna go with that fight. All right.
2:01:38
I'll go with the one boxing that I can remember the exact matchup
2:01:41
of and that's Mike Tyson getting upset in the 80s by by buster.
2:01:46
Douglas, I do remember that strangely, that's like, don't
2:01:48
know boxing. I remember that.
2:01:51
One is consider the greatest upset at that time.
2:01:53
So I feel like I have some water.
2:01:55
Has to have some water. All right?
2:01:57
And a merit of like, obviously the Throne of the Manila is
2:02:01
obviously the most thought of boxing one.
2:02:03
I've got one more that I I'm sure there's others.
2:02:05
I don't know the exact combinations of the fighters
2:02:07
though. So it doesn't help us much.
2:02:08
I've got one too, Arrow, get give us your You know, other
2:02:13
ones that you wanted to say because I'm sure this is a well
2:02:15
topic for you. Matt, Sarah versus the one and
2:02:19
only, you know, I'm talking about, go ahead, Jake, I'll let
2:02:21
you give you his name because I think he's one of the greatest
2:02:24
UFC fighters George St. Peter say I was just say GSP
2:02:28
fight has yes, thank you. That fight really stood out to
2:02:33
me from a lot of mixed martial arts and USC fights, when Matt
2:02:37
Sarah knocked him out. And then when George Saint
2:02:39
Pierre came back, didn't really say much and beat the hell out
2:02:42
of Matt. Sorry, those fights really stood
2:02:44
out to me. I mean, the Nate Diaz fights
2:02:48
versus yes. Conor McGregor, those fights
2:02:51
took out to me, John Jones and what's his name?
2:02:56
I'm sorry Daniel Cormier. Those fights were fun to watch
2:03:00
two guys that couldn't stand each other and one was doing
2:03:05
steroids. The other one was just at all
2:03:06
all around wrestler who really stood out as a championship
2:03:10
wrestler or a college. And actually Olympic restaurant
2:03:14
wasn't they'll call me Olympic restaurant.
2:03:16
I'm not sure that was Dan Henderson but that fight stuck
2:03:19
out to me. So those mixed martial arts
2:03:21
fights, really stood out to me from all the rest.
2:03:23
You know, obviously also, there were other fights with George
2:03:28
St-Pierre. That really said, how about the
2:03:30
Nick Diaz? The BJ Penn George St-Pierre
2:03:33
fight. I mean, there's a lot of them,
2:03:34
there's a lot of them. I could go on boxing.
2:03:37
I was one of the favorite, my favorite fights series was the
2:03:40
Gotti War. I got one, I got another one,
2:03:43
wonderful fight. I got one, Oscar Dela, Hoya
2:03:46
versus Floyd Mayweather. That was another one that stood
2:03:49
out to me. That fight really.
2:03:51
I mean obviously after that fight, Oscar Dela Hoyer was
2:03:55
done. His career was over.
2:03:56
After they may want to take this you know ass and by the way,
2:03:59
everybody thought he kicked his ass but the fight was a lot
2:04:01
closer to the people fought. So that might be the only fight.
2:04:06
You can argue Floyd Mayweather actually lost.
2:04:09
So I'm gonna give my my vote, I'm going with Errol, although
2:04:14
Speedy, I do thoroughly enjoy. Both the malice and pal and the
2:04:18
palace, and Nolan Ryan giving Robin Ventura noogies on the
2:04:22
Mounds. I did enjoy that and you can't
2:04:24
beat the thrill of Manila. Is the rope-a-dope Ferrell?
2:04:27
Yes. Is that?
2:04:28
Yes, I mean, that's the most legendary speed.
2:04:31
You should have George Foreman. That was a good fight.
2:04:34
Yeah, I was gonna say, if you, if you get the Foreman fight way
2:04:37
that he beat Foreman was incredible.
2:04:39
Just, it's hard to argue with with that you're a fight fan.
2:04:44
I'm not gonna argue with and I disagree with the the Tyson
2:04:46
Douglas fight was in Japan. I believe it was 1990.
2:04:49
Yeah, and Tyson 48 Hours, wet, lagged, eight legged, sex, dad.
2:04:55
I mean the guy. Yeah the guy admitted he slept
2:04:58
with 20 women in 48 hours. Okay.
2:05:01
How you one thing they always tell you as a fighter do not
2:05:05
have sex your last month of training that's what they tell
2:05:09
you, but but he was so ferocious Errol.
2:05:11
What was so he was ferocious ferociously knocked out.
2:05:15
So Yeah, I remember that fight very well, actually, the night
2:05:20
after was Saturday, night's Main Event there.
2:05:23
What news happened? You got all excited there.
2:05:25
I'm sorry. Oh, judges tied the game with
2:05:28
the song. 99. That's great.
2:05:32
However, not and his numbers 99. Pretty cool.
2:05:35
All right, let's let's get to your votes.
2:05:37
I mean, Aaron judge. My name is Aaron.
2:05:39
Your name is Aaron. Aaron?
2:05:40
What do you? What's your vote?
2:05:42
I think I'm gonna go Speedy on this one only because again,
2:05:45
I'm, I know, I really did a lot more MMA fights, a lot more
2:05:49
boxing too, but a lot more MMA. That's not my really my cup of
2:05:52
tea. I don't really know a lot and I
2:05:54
do that, I didn't know a lot more speedies.
2:05:56
So I'm gonna go Speedy amount Jake You know, I am gonna go
2:06:00
with arrow, I do respect to Speedy fix, I think that the
2:06:03
mouse and it's such an iconic moment.
2:06:05
It's such a great fight and it led to like so much downturn for
2:06:08
the Pacers and like, they're just their franchise and how
2:06:11
crazy it was with Errol, you know, I mentioned some like
2:06:14
iconic legendary place, we used some boxes.
2:06:17
I wish like I said, it wasn't alive for Frazier and Ali but
2:06:21
it's just fantastic time. Like everyone talks about the
2:06:24
Golden Ages of boxing and it's that those fights right there.
2:06:27
So, yeah, I'm going. Oh And Tommy.
2:06:29
Yeah, I think Speedy definitely held his own very surprisingly.
2:06:33
Speedy, definitely came out with some very sleeper picks of his
2:06:35
own. I of course loved the mouse
2:06:37
Capel, it's not familiar with the first fight.
2:06:38
You mentioned the first dog, the baseball fight.
2:06:40
Yeah, not entirely familiar. But like I said, you held your
2:06:43
own, especially the very good surprise with the Mike, Tyson
2:06:46
and Buster Douglas, But ultimately gonna have to give it
2:06:48
to Arrow. Just, I had to roll with the
2:06:50
theme because of what we were talking about a couple weeks
2:06:51
ago, what? Kevin meant, like all the, all
2:06:53
the relatively good, baseball fights so I figured I'd throw it
2:06:56
in there. Listen, I didn't I all right I'm
2:06:58
not expect Speedy to even come close so I can't give him a
2:07:01
little bit of credit. They did pretty good, he did
2:07:03
pretty good, they were funny. That's what he did.
2:07:05
He went to funny way and he can't, he can't knock what he,
2:07:09
what his choice is on the way. He went through.
2:07:12
A lot of good comedy places in there that great, great Jake,
2:07:16
you forgot about the best comedy fight that I brought up was I
2:07:19
brought it up and what's that smell?
2:07:20
Like? Java Knox.
2:07:21
Kevin you cool. Listen to it.
2:07:22
That's right. There we go.
2:07:27
I want it. I don't have to fight.
2:07:31
Jake, Paul still. I will do.
2:07:33
If anybody could careful, he'll sue, you know, he's mentioned
2:07:37
that for like four years. I have no problems fighting Jake
2:07:40
Paul. I need six months of training.
2:07:42
That's what I need because I need to get my stamina up.
2:07:46
I'm in good shape, dropping 30 pounds is not really hard for
2:07:49
me. I drip I've dropped 15 pounds in
2:07:53
48 hours. So me, dropping 30 pounds it.
2:07:57
The hardest part is the last five pounds, which you have a
2:08:00
kidney removed, not with you, 15 pounds.
2:08:02
Oh, easy to do. I'll tell you how I did it.
2:08:05
First of all, all I did was Sip water for 24 hours my last 24
2:08:10
hours, and I was in the sauna. I was, I had a bike in a sauna,
2:08:14
I would go in and out. I would do 30 to 45 million
2:08:17
intervals, every other hour, and I was in there and I sweat, I
2:08:21
wear a bag. I would wear, you know, black
2:08:24
bag and I would be in there. Just sweating, so just like
2:08:26
water, weight more saying like, no, no, after that, after you
2:08:29
get to that, once you hit that, that bottom feed of the Water
2:08:34
weight, you gotta, you gotta burn fat.
2:08:35
So, it was, you know, there's a lot you have to do in the sorter
2:08:41
running cardio, to get that fat away.
2:08:43
Sounds unhealthy, yes, Fastenal Arrow, fasted.
2:08:47
Yeah, I fast the last 24 hours, sift the water.
2:08:50
So, and and by the way, the last it's always the, it always seems
2:08:55
to happen that last pound was always the hardest to lose.
2:08:59
And by the way, when I was fighting in boxing, I was
2:09:03
finding it between 160 to 175 and in mixed martial arts.
2:09:08
I was fighting between 170 175. So I was walking at one 90 192
2:09:16
and I was cutting weight like that.
2:09:18
And I always wait till the last week to cut that weight because
2:09:21
I knew I could, but I knew what I had to do to my body and it's
2:09:24
the worst. And by the way, 24 hours before,
2:09:27
because what happens is you do the way in 24 hours before the
2:09:31
fight you want to, you want to get the Electoral And stuff like
2:09:34
that. So a lot of guys just stuff
2:09:36
their face and try to put that weight on.
2:09:38
What I used to do is really simple.
2:09:40
I didn't want to get sick and you shrink your stomach for a
2:09:44
certain amount of time. You don't want to do that.
2:09:45
So what I used to do is I would I would eat food in increments,
2:09:50
so I am a, I'm a sweets person I would set up cakes.
2:09:53
Okay, so I would have, I would have Donuts.
2:09:57
I would have cakes, I would cookies and I would eat them
2:10:00
every 10 minutes to put on the fat.
2:10:02
And I would not eat macaroni starch and electrolytes because
2:10:06
it always seems to make you tired and wears you out before
2:10:10
the fight. So I never did that.
2:10:11
My opponents always did that. So I knew that I had an edge and
2:10:15
everybody says well how could you eat all that sugar and how
2:10:17
you gonna eat all that those sweets sweets are easy to burn
2:10:20
off. The macaroni is not.
2:10:23
So that's why I went that route and people thought I was crazy,
2:10:27
but it's easy to burn. So that's just my my thought and
2:10:32
my take on that. So, I'm a sweet guy and that's
2:10:35
where I stand. I went with the sweets, so there
2:10:38
you go. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
2:10:40
we got to get into some NHL conversation.
2:10:42
We're gonna get Ashley Sarge on the show next week.
2:10:45
He was with the Islanders today. He was that their development
2:10:49
camps. He got a chance to see some of
2:10:53
the young players at the Islanders.
2:10:54
Drafted in this past draft eight plus plus, we will get into
2:10:58
that, just a few moments, the maple leaf sign Winger Matthew 9
2:11:02
to a six-year, 46.5 million dollar extension and Center John
2:11:07
Tavares, which we were speaking about a couple of days ago.
2:11:10
Four years 17 point five, two million dollar extension the
2:11:14
Canucks, gave forward Brock boeser, a seven year, 50 point,
2:11:19
75 million dollar extension, And goalie Thatcher Demko a
2:11:24
three-year 25.5 million dollars. Actually like that by the way,
2:11:28
by the Canucks that deal was definitely a deal that really
2:11:31
stood out to me in is free agency market.
2:11:34
The Islanders gave, Alexander Romanov an eight year, 50
2:11:38
million dollar extension, not a bad one.
2:11:39
We will get into that in just a few moments.
2:11:41
The Oilers gave defenseman Evan Bouchard a four year, 42.5
2:11:46
million dollar extension the fourth highest paid defenseman
2:11:50
in NHL, not a good move. As far as I'm concerned, even
2:11:54
though he had a very good playoff and he had a very good
2:11:56
season, the Panthers kept all three Sam Bennett who was the
2:12:00
playoff MVP Bradmore, Shawn and Aaron ekblad.
2:12:05
I think this all of these deals were fantastic, this is a slam
2:12:09
dunk for the Florida. Panthers, eight years 64 million
2:12:12
marching got a six-year 31.5 million and Eric bled who is one
2:12:17
of the more underrated players in the league.
2:12:19
Got eight year 48. 0.8 billion dollar contract.
2:12:23
So let's go with the extensions first.
2:12:25
And we'll go with the trades. I think the Canucks slam dunk,
2:12:28
bringing back Brock, boeser. I think he's very underrated,
2:12:32
he's an underrated player. He's one of the more underrated
2:12:35
two-way players in the NHL, he's seven years 50.75, million
2:12:39
dollars. You want to keep your own
2:12:41
players. You developed him.
2:12:42
And I think he's a guy that a lot of teams want to, I remember
2:12:45
when he was becoming available, the Islanders were very
2:12:48
interested in trying to make a trade, to bring in, to the
2:12:50
Islanders. They had no chance of getting
2:12:53
Brock. Brock is a sensational play, big
2:12:55
strong capable of playing two-dimensional hockey and
2:12:58
Thatcher is one of the more underrated goalies in the NHL
2:13:02
young to in the contract that he got three years. 24.5 million
2:13:08
dollar extension. Fantastic.
2:13:09
So that that those to me them and the Florida Panthers but I
2:13:14
want to know your opinion first. Yeah.
2:13:16
I like it from the Canucks standpoint.
2:13:17
They needed to lock in the goalie's when he comes to.
2:13:21
Yeah, a three-year deal with is probably because of his injury
2:13:24
risk factor because he's been like that his whole career.
2:13:26
He came up kind of the same as the two New York, guys kind of
2:13:29
the same time and I think that level of a goaltender Vancouver
2:13:33
has not had for a while since when they had Luongo and they
2:13:36
had trouble going for it, besser obviously was disgruntled with
2:13:39
the whole JT Miller situation. So they had to make sure they
2:13:42
sealed. One of them, they traded Miller,
2:13:43
they end up keeping him with the lease end of it.
2:13:46
John Tavares, essentially gets a pay cut, which is a good thing
2:13:49
for them because they needed to be able to shed some obviously
2:13:52
trade at Marner, well, get into that later, but they getting
2:13:55
some money to help other areas. Matthews is a good young, Winger
2:13:58
fast type guy, and they've been lacking.
2:14:00
A lot of the wing production for a while, so I think that's a
2:14:02
good move. Bushard is interesting because
2:14:04
you're right. 10 and a half million is definitely a little
2:14:07
bit for a more undersized defenseman but he is very
2:14:09
skilled. One of the best offensive
2:14:11
defenseman he still skate. Well he's not just over, just
2:14:14
not overly physical but besides that does everything else really
2:14:16
well. Like you said, Florida, I'm
2:14:17
shocked. They were able to keep all
2:14:19
three. I thought was I'm not gone, I'm
2:14:21
not the Florida Panthers are a smart organization.
2:14:23
They've been one of the smarter organizations over the last
2:14:26
couple of years and Landing Bennett Marshawn, and ekblad.
2:14:30
I mean, could you argue that this team is the Stanley Cup
2:14:33
Contender? That is probably going to be
2:14:35
favorites again to win the Stanley Cup next year?
2:14:38
I don't think you can argue that this team.
2:14:40
We haven't seen back to back-to-back Champion for since
2:14:44
the, I think it was the, the Islanders, right, or the end.
2:14:48
It's an Oilers know I was the Oilers were three in a row
2:14:50
Islanders were four, so it was the 80s the last time.
2:14:53
Late 80s, early 90s. The last time we see goalies
2:14:57
were standing up. Yes, that's when they barely had
2:15:02
helmets at and Billy Smith those were the two goalies, one for
2:15:05
the Islanders and the other one. And that's for you young guys
2:15:08
that when we were talking about goalies, Billy Smith and then
2:15:11
obviously Grant fewer both guys Hall of Famers, Sensational,
2:15:16
goalie before they had that after.
2:15:18
They had helped me, they had to the Michael Myers mask.
2:15:20
I I can't argue that the Florida Panthers are going to be John
2:15:24
Davidson. Yes, Florida is going to be the
2:15:26
favorites and they have a couple of young guys that they're gonna
2:15:28
be about probably calling up playing for the third lines
2:15:31
because they're loaded on their top two.
2:15:34
I mean there's I don't think there's a team that has more
2:15:36
depth in the Florida Panthers do and I you can ask the Edmonton
2:15:40
Oilers where they have the two best players in all of hockey,
2:15:43
dry Sidle and McDavid. They did, all they can do and
2:15:47
they still couldn't be the Florida Panthers.
2:15:49
So I would say, I would say, the Panthers won Canucks to.
2:15:53
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go with the Islanders bringing Ramen
2:15:58
off. I Alexander Romanoff is still
2:16:00
young, four years, 50 million for a guy that had a great
2:16:03
season last year, and you're bringing all these young guys.
2:16:06
Yeah, he's he's 26. 25 26 years old.
2:16:09
He's still very young. And he remember, well, what was
2:16:13
it? 34 years ago.
2:16:14
He was drafted by Montreal Canadians.
2:16:16
I mean, I just got on that random cop run team like kind of
2:16:20
fire here. Five years ago when he was
2:16:22
drafted by. But nevertheless, he's still
2:16:24
fairly young. He had a great season, he stayed
2:16:27
healthy. And what now you're bringing in
2:16:28
all these younger, guys, what the Islanders need to do is they
2:16:31
made a trade either Mayfield pool, lock or pellick.
2:16:34
That's where they have to go. They gonna have to move one or
2:16:37
maybe two of them because I want to see these young guys.
2:16:39
Get brought up a lot sooner than later and I expect them to do
2:16:43
that. Now that darshan, I think the
2:16:44
gonna trade one in the offseason, they'll probably
2:16:46
trade one during the season I have.
2:16:48
On, I think two out of three. Okay.
2:16:50
I don't like with the Oilers you're doing the Oilers, just
2:16:53
got beat by a team that just signed their guys March and
2:16:56
averaging. I mean, look Marcia's 37, he's
2:16:59
not playing till he's 43. That's done for cat purposes.
2:17:02
He's not complaining six years on that deal.
2:17:04
I'd be very shocked that he played like But they're not
2:17:08
paying Bennett's, making 80 year at Labs, making 6 points,
2:17:12
whatever, 6.1 a year. Bouchard's gonna be making over
2:17:16
10 a year. I believe mcdavid's making 12
2:17:19
and so is dry Sidle that doesn't win against the team that has
2:17:22
depth of a bunch of 8 million dollar players that can run you
2:17:26
off the ice. They're trying to just saw that
2:17:28
happen. They're trying to go for the
2:17:30
Penguins formula because it's the way they build with that
2:17:32
type of I guess system. Obviously Crosby Malkin.
2:17:34
Make David dry. I will save the same kind of I
2:17:36
will say this about the the New York Rangers.
2:17:39
I think it was a slam dunk trading out of that picking and
2:17:42
taking the Pittsburgh Penguins first round draft pick next year
2:17:44
because Pittsburgh you don't know what they're going to be
2:17:48
next year. Cindy Crosby could be traded
2:17:50
some part of the season so could walk in this is an older team
2:17:54
Letang is another guy overpaid at his position.
2:17:57
He's a great defenseman, all of Famer, all three of them, all a
2:18:00
famous. Yeah, Pittsburgh could be an
2:18:02
absolute bust this year and the Rangers get a lot of picked
2:18:05
because of this, I think they didn't reveal a teams obviously,
2:18:07
but I think there was a source that Sidney Crosby actually gave
2:18:10
the Penguins three teams, he would be trade, he would like,
2:18:13
to be traded. So Won't be the island, that's
2:18:15
for sure. No, I don't.
2:18:18
Talk about some of those trades. We got, we had a whole bunch of
2:18:21
trades in here. The biggest one we already you
2:18:25
mentioned at the top was Mitch Marner.
2:18:27
So Mitch Marner goes to Las Vegas, love it and gets
2:18:31
immediately gets an eight-year deal, 96 million dollars to play
2:18:36
in Vegas. Let's start right there.
2:18:39
I love it. A mitch Marner going over the
2:18:41
Vegas with the talent that they have over there from you're
2:18:44
talking about. We talk about the Florida
2:18:46
Panthers. The second team that has as much
2:18:49
depth or second most depth. Now, adding Mitch Marner is the
2:18:54
Vegas Knights. I mean, you can't even argue
2:18:56
with that. And now you have raichal and you
2:18:59
have Monarch, could you imagine them play on the same line,
2:19:02
scary scary, and Mitch McConnell with the speed and Michael who
2:19:08
he could do everything. I mean he's defense offense I
2:19:11
and they're loaded from top to bottom.
2:19:13
They have two good quality, goaltenders not great gold in
2:19:18
his butt quality goaltending I and their defense is is
2:19:21
phenomenal. So Yeah, I I love Mich.
2:19:25
Monica going over to Vegas. Shocked.
2:19:27
That Vegas was the favorites to getting getting them before he
2:19:30
even became available. Yeah, I was hearing, he was the
2:19:33
favorite that they were the favorites for a while.
2:19:34
I was hearing the kings were trying to make a swing for it.
2:19:37
And there were a couple other Western Conference teams that
2:19:40
probably had a little bit less. He wanted to go to the heat.
2:19:41
He wanted, he wanted to definitely go out there and
2:19:44
Vegas. I probably since George McPhee's
2:19:47
been there and since they became an expanded tea, they've been
2:19:49
one of those teams not afraid to make those types of Trades.
2:19:51
Islander guy McPhee, yes, George McPhee.
2:19:54
All sorts of Washington for a while at a guy that liked to
2:19:57
make swings over there for those big veteran guys.
2:19:59
And obviously they know fish them, another one of those teams
2:20:02
that manipulates the cap very well to make that kind of thing
2:20:04
work. And now a lot of those other
2:20:05
deals look like Bargains in the distance to the gyms that they
2:20:07
hit on in the expansion drive. Now Marner could become that
2:20:10
type of really Dynamic second score well with iCal and be just
2:20:15
go to thought better than I go statistically during a Year too.
2:20:18
And again you got all those winged up to go along with it so
2:20:21
I I would put them as my West favorite, right?
2:20:24
like, I got to talk about the Rangers rangers trade it,
2:20:29
finally traded, Keandre Miller went to the hurricanes and the
2:20:33
Hurricanes gave him an eight-year 60 million dollar
2:20:36
deal, right away. I could have sworn this was the
2:20:38
same guy. Speedy that couldn't play dead
2:20:42
in the cowboy movie, the entirety of last season.
2:20:44
And every time they put him out there, they had him helplessly
2:20:48
cover better players and other team.
2:20:50
And it never went well, except for like, two or three guys that
2:20:54
he was just able to get the long stick on because let's face.
2:20:56
That was The Miller's. Best thing, he has the Long
2:20:59
Reach with the left hand, with the stick.
2:21:01
Everything else with that guy. I'm happy to see him go.
2:21:05
I can't believe he got that much money.
2:21:08
And the Rangers got a first and a second for this guy.
2:21:12
I think they're doing it basically.
2:21:14
You always judging, especially in Baseball trades.
2:21:16
Also, with, but also, hockey younger players too.
2:21:18
You're judging based on the talent that he does have.
2:21:20
And I think Carolina knows that the defensive system that they
2:21:22
have has still rebirthed. Other guys that were worse, so
2:21:26
that's the logic. They're going to go on.
2:21:27
Keandre Miller still has a lot more overall talent and
2:21:29
athleticism and then Tony The Edge alone and guys like that,
2:21:32
they tried to make work in their systems.
2:21:34
So maybe that's what they're banking on right now.
2:21:36
Again, Don Juan Del is a very inconsistent like, overall GM.
2:21:39
I'm not crazy about him but I think there's still banking on
2:21:42
the upside where they can say, all right, this is a bargain if
2:21:44
it does work out. Yeah, Andre Miller is 22. 23
2:21:47
years old. He's a young guy now.
2:21:48
He didn't play well in Madison Square Garden and play.
2:21:51
Well with the New York Rangers. He was a high draft pick.
2:21:54
I think he was a top 10 pick when the 205.
2:21:56
Yeah, he was the year round picks.
2:21:59
So he was, he was a high draft pick for the New York Rangers,
2:22:02
everybody expected. I remember, He played for the
2:22:04
Badgers, we had Granado on the show, I was actually our hockey
2:22:08
show and Tony Granado told me that this guy's gonna be a star.
2:22:11
It didn't work in Madison Square Garden, but Carolina, they are
2:22:15
very good defensive team. They have two of the best
2:22:17
defenseman in all of hockey and our Keandre Miller gets to go
2:22:20
over there and learn from two of the very best in the NHL and I
2:22:25
think a guy like what keep always mess up.
2:22:29
Rob, Brenda Moore, who's a very good defensive mind offensive
2:22:33
player that preaches defense. I think he's gonna get Keandre
2:22:36
Miller to play a little bit better.
2:22:37
Hockey, I don't know if he's worth eight years, 60 million, I
2:22:42
would say no. But he's a big body who can hit,
2:22:46
if he learns a lick of NHL hockey.
2:22:49
This guy could turn from a bust into a star.
2:22:52
That's how good Canadian Miller was supposed to be and
2:22:55
everything that Tony Granado told us about him is he's an old
2:22:59
brain superstar in this league, but he hasn't become that and
2:23:02
that's because he Item. Madison Square Garden in the
2:23:05
Rangers. Very hard place to play.
2:23:06
I always always in on him up until probably the 2023
2:23:09
playoffs. I can see loves sales.
2:23:11
Yeah, I remember Mikey C still loves him.
2:23:13
Says that you watch, he goes to Carolina, he's going to be an
2:23:16
old. I could see that just with the
2:23:17
way that defensive system loves over there, he loves him he
2:23:20
tells me. Oh you don't know how good
2:23:22
Keandre Miller is I think dude, Keandre Miller sucks and the
2:23:26
only reason why I think he might accomplish what you're saying is
2:23:29
accomplished because he's going to go to a team with two of the
2:23:31
best defensive defense made in all of hockey, right?
2:23:35
On one roster. So that would be the only way
2:23:38
and he's gonna learn from the best and Robert Morris a good
2:23:41
coach. So, we'll see.
2:23:42
So the just a quick straight, a smaller trade.
2:23:46
John Gibson goes from the Ducks, at a Red Wings for their backup,
2:23:49
little goalie trade right there, just quickly Gibson, definitely
2:23:54
an upgrade, how much of an upgrade Speedy enough where I
2:23:57
think Detroit they had flashes of good goalie play.
2:24:01
Last year, they're offensive was down at certain points, that was
2:24:03
the reason they Struggled in the first half of the Season,
2:24:05
they've rallied back to again, almost be a playoff team.
2:24:08
They were in that cluster with the Rangers and the Islanders
2:24:10
and the Canadians at the time, the goalies choked at the end of
2:24:14
the season. Yeah.
2:24:14
But they've always gone through this cycle that they tried to
2:24:17
make it work. They gave the big money to gel
2:24:19
Quebec who had that good year with Carolina, but he fell off
2:24:22
and this is the best chance that they have though.
2:24:23
Give us an actually played really well when the Anaheim
2:24:25
core got old. If he played better at that
2:24:28
time, they might have won a cup. It just again.
2:24:30
He's still a steady guy though. I like it for Detroit.
2:24:31
I like it for Detroit and Stevie's in knows what he's
2:24:34
doing. Even though I can't stand the
2:24:36
man, I met him a couple of times.
2:24:37
He's a nasty piece of, you know what?
2:24:38
I I, he knows how to build the team.
2:24:41
He's won titles over there in Tampa.
2:24:43
He built that Tampa Bay Tampa Bay Lightning team.
2:24:47
I don't think he gets enough credit that he should deserve.
2:24:50
I think he's gonna help this Detroit team be a contender.
2:24:53
Once again, they have a lot of speed over there.
2:24:55
A lot of Youth over there. Have a very good farm system and
2:24:59
John Gibson is alive, a very underrated goaltender.
2:25:02
I would say you can I actually put him in the top 10, I would
2:25:05
put him. 10 or 11 in all of hockey.
2:25:09
I think he's the steel. I think he's gonna, he's gonna
2:25:12
help the Red Wings. Noah Dobson.
2:25:14
I thought it was supposed to be the future for the Islanders, on
2:25:17
the defenseman that on the blue line, they gave the money to the
2:25:20
other guy we just mentioned and they decided the trade him for
2:25:23
the 16th and 17th picks. The 2025 draft to Montreal, who
2:25:28
signed into an eight year, 76 million dollar deal on the spot.
2:25:32
Arrow. This, this came out of nowhere,
2:25:35
for me. What, what's going on with this
2:25:37
deal? I'll tell you why the Islanders
2:25:39
did it, and it's pretty obvious. They were going with chafer no
2:25:42
matter what and I I do owe somebody a dinner because I did
2:25:47
not think the Islanders were gonna go that route, but they
2:25:50
did, they brought in. Now if it was anybody else
2:25:52
besides darsh, I think they go with Misa Misa is going to be a
2:25:56
star in his League just as much a safer is.
2:25:58
But as soon as we heard it was a no-brainer.
2:26:01
They're going Schaefer, I knew no adoption was on his way out.
2:26:04
No adoption is a great offensive defense.
2:26:07
I mean he has not a good defensive defenseman, is he got
2:26:09
top offensive defenseman, Elite absolutely.
2:26:12
He's going home. He's going to Montreal,
2:26:14
Montreal, giving up a 16, and a 17 for Noah's, and I think
2:26:18
that's a reach. I think the Islanders slam dunk
2:26:21
this trade, they were trying to move off for James taking.
2:26:23
They were stories coming out. They were trying to trade with
2:26:26
Philadelphia. Had no interest in.
2:26:28
Trading with them, hiking goes to Boston.
2:26:31
But what a consolation. Is bringing in the guise that
2:26:33
they brought in. They brought one of the most
2:26:35
underrated defense men in this draft class Canadian kid.
2:26:39
How do you pronounce this HSN HSN?
2:26:41
Who they think he hits like a rock and a guy could score.
2:26:45
He could do so many different things.
2:26:47
You put them with Schaefer in the future.
2:26:49
That's your first pairing for the future.
2:26:51
A two very good young defense men and then there's other kid,
2:26:55
who fell. He was, some people thought was
2:26:57
a top 10 pick offensively, his brother plays for the San Jose
2:27:01
Sharks. He's a great player.
2:27:02
They're saying that this kid's better than his brother.
2:27:05
Yep. So I I mean, if this guy turns
2:27:08
into a 35 40 goal scorer, it's a slam dunk for the Islanders this
2:27:12
class for the New York Islanders.
2:27:15
People are saying could change the franchise, they, they didn't
2:27:20
reach, they were in surgery. They were playing surgery with
2:27:24
any of this. They picked the best guys
2:27:26
available, and they slam dunked on every single one of them.
2:27:30
Every single one of the guys, they picked in this year's class
2:27:32
will be a part of that roster in the next three years.
2:27:35
Yeah, they were talking about, well, going back to HSN, they
2:27:37
were talking about how obviously Schafer was the number one
2:27:39
defenseman. The one Buffalo dropped at a
2:27:41
number nine, was started to be second and like him to be third
2:27:44
and think it was a top 10 possible value in that draft.
2:27:47
And then they get excellent. Like you're saying a kind of a
2:27:49
different type of player than his brother.
2:27:51
They're both kind of smaller on the smaller side, but so
2:27:54
definitely room to grow in speed.
2:27:55
Great hands sees the ice, very, very well.
2:27:58
And they say stamina wise. This guy could play a minute and
2:28:02
30, second shifts and not be tired when you have a player
2:28:05
like that. That's what you need
2:28:07
defensively. You need that offensively.
2:28:08
That is why I think the Islanders that first round was
2:28:12
was Sensational New York. Yeah.
2:28:15
They were saying. Comparing to his brother to like
2:28:17
he doesn't know, I don't think the the raw speed but he's a
2:28:19
better creator with the puck and with his hands than his brother
2:28:22
is. And again, it's still a lot of
2:28:24
time to grow in his body and Tampa Bay.
2:28:25
He's his brother was there and said he's a better player than
2:28:28
me. Yeah.
2:28:28
And I mean, his brother comes out, he's a couple years older
2:28:33
than him and it comes out and says, his 18 year old brother is
2:28:36
better than him already that says a lot.
2:28:39
I mean, the again, he was a top 10 pick.
2:28:41
He fell out to 16. The Islanders were not reaching
2:28:45
on that one, guys. Know that was a great pick for
2:28:48
the Islanders. So, All right let's finish this
2:28:51
off. Talk about some free agent
2:28:54
signings and new places. A couple of quick ones.
2:28:56
Some veterans Corey Perry and Cody Ceci find their way to Los
2:29:00
Angeles, play for the game. The Red Wing stake van riems
2:29:03
Dike in Patrick Kane other great.
2:29:05
So they're that again. Smart moves with some veteran
2:29:08
Talent, Michael Grantland, three years, 21 million dollar deal to
2:29:11
go to the Ducks but they don't expect to be good but he's a
2:29:14
good player and he got paid probably a little bit more than
2:29:16
he was worth but got paid. So the Ducks got him.
2:29:19
How was the two big names? How does Corey Perry still have
2:29:22
a job in the NHL? He was awesome in the playoffs.
2:29:25
How does this guy still have a job in the NHL fish place?
2:29:29
Your futures bets. Now, do you forget what Corey
2:29:31
Perry did? I mean, come on guys.
2:29:33
Don't don't be lost on this scores goals like what's his
2:29:38
face for the Cowboys? Used to get to the quarterback?
2:29:40
Didn't matter what he was doing, cycling on a bed of guns.
2:29:43
Doing other things too, Fish. Place her up.
2:29:46
Your prop bets. It out.
2:29:47
Corey Perry's. Been four out of five Stanley
2:29:49
Cup losing teams. You Kings win the Western
2:29:51
Conference at Lucas. Silly cup.
2:29:53
Let's talk about this through the fence spinning and get out
2:29:57
of this proverb. To the Blue Jackets.
2:30:01
Seven years just under 60 million and the Rangers decide.
2:30:06
No ticket to Keandre Miller. Yes to Vlad gavrikov stepped up
2:30:11
big last year, I believe for the Kings Dowdy out.
2:30:14
Kind of took over the mantle and now he got paid for his 49.
2:30:20
I don't hate the move by the Rangers.
2:30:22
I really don't but proper off is to me what the Blue Jackets got
2:30:28
from him. Yvonne Provo off is the better
2:30:30
of the defenseman. All right and seven years. 159.5
2:30:33
million is a good deal for our Top Line defenseman.
2:30:37
I again I'm not doing this because I don't like the
2:30:41
Rangers. I'm just doing it for what I
2:30:42
know, the Rangers bringing free agent defenseman, they never
2:30:46
panned out. Well, they never do go back and
2:30:49
look at all the free agent defenseman, they bring in, it
2:30:52
doesn't work. So I wouldn't be surprised if
2:30:54
they fall flat on their face with this.
2:30:56
That's just my opinion. Well, it's interesting because I
2:30:59
think the stylistic Types of Defense men that they've brought
2:31:01
in in the past where they're going for more of the speed and
2:31:05
offensive. I think gavrikov is a little
2:31:06
more of the defensive type. He's a great shot blocker, which
2:31:08
I think the Rangers have definitely needed for a while.
2:31:10
I think that's where I think the Rangers did.
2:31:12
Well, I just worry about the the length when it comes to how
2:31:15
injury prone has been, he's 29 years old and with Columbus he
2:31:18
was definitely very injury prone.
2:31:19
It's funny because I wanted the Rangers to trade for him a
2:31:21
couple years ago when he was with Columbus, still before the
2:31:24
Kings got him, but I do think he's a great player for what
2:31:27
they need great player because I think it's a good it's a good
2:31:30
counter for that first pair with Fox.
2:31:31
Who's wants to be more that I'll tell you this?
2:31:34
This could seal the deal for Chris Drury if this doesn't
2:31:38
work. Well, yeah I I'm not I'm still
2:31:39
not justifying that. Okay, Chris Dre, he's gonna be
2:31:42
still thought of this anywhere close to a good GM by any means.
2:31:44
I'm gonna tell you this Chris crowded going to Anaheim is a
2:31:47
slam dunk. Yeah, I love the jerseys.
2:31:49
Anybody see their New Jersey orange ones?
2:31:51
Yeah. Fits like, I want to get a pair
2:31:52
that I'll buy the Jersey just because I love the way it looks.
2:31:55
As far as proverb goes, proverb is an interesting one because
2:31:59
he's a very Goal defenseman as well.
2:32:01
He's another guy that I think skating wise, it started to
2:32:04
regress a little, but he's still young enough where I think they
2:32:06
can still make the seven-year deal work.
2:32:08
They probably had to use a good player.
2:32:10
He's a good player. I always liked him in Philly.
2:32:11
I think again, he's trying to find that role with a new team
2:32:14
could be hard. But again, Columbus, they're
2:32:16
right on the cosplayer. They were very close with a very
2:32:18
good young team. Now they get a veteran guy to go
2:32:20
along with it. Pretty young defensive core
2:32:22
overall and then obviously one of the best defense in the NHL
2:32:24
and Zach, rent, ski, whatever, kind of revitalize, your last
2:32:27
year, all the injuries he sat Look, Erol, I think you
2:32:32
mentioned it earlier that the Rangers decided to give away the
2:32:36
pick this year. So they'd have to pick next
2:32:38
year. Think about what, what Drew he
2:32:40
has to play with. Now, he's got two first and he's
2:32:42
got two seconds going into the draft, even if like, that
2:32:45
picked, doesn't turn into a top lottery pick, he's got two first
2:32:48
and two seconds. Yes, two questions.
2:32:49
The trade deadline. Let me ask you a question and
2:32:51
all the drafts that Chris Curry has been there for tell me one
2:32:55
that really has stood out to be, oh, he's gonna trade the picks.
2:32:58
He asked him to trade them on guys that we lose after one year
2:33:02
and then he has to do it all over.
2:33:04
I will say he smart because next year's class is an absolute slam
2:33:09
dunks. So offensive players and the
2:33:12
number one pick, we all know who he's gonna be, he's the next
2:33:14
kind of MC Dave in a league. Everybody is going to want to be
2:33:17
in that Lottery to get a chance to land that kid.
2:33:20
You saw the Islanders went from Maybe a 12 or 3 13th.
2:33:24
Spot to the number one spot. They got that Shaffer.
2:33:27
Who everybody thinks is going to be a star in the league.
2:33:29
This guy is a home run slam dunk Grand Slam kind of guy.
2:33:34
Everybody's gonna want to be in that move in that spot where
2:33:37
they get a chance to get them. I know the Islanders aren't
2:33:39
going to be good this year, they'll be right there maybe and
2:33:42
they have two first round draft picks this year, including
2:33:44
Colorado's as well. So it's gonna be interesting and
2:33:47
the Rangers rangers have three. Yeah, maybe more than they could
2:33:50
trade for with two and like, like you're saying, fish and
2:33:53
getting him next. The kids name.
2:33:55
Oh, dude, McKenna, I have heard so many stories about this kid.
2:33:59
He might even be better than Connor.
2:34:02
McDavid coming out going into the draft.
2:34:04
That's how good this kid is. So it's sick.
2:34:08
I'll go away and listen to these stats from McKenna between
2:34:12
regular season, playoffs and Memorial Cup McKenna.
2:34:15
Put up, 173 points and 76 games 129 in the regular season.
2:34:22
His third amongst you under 18 players in a double w, h, l in
2:34:27
the last 35 years, he had points in 54 consecutive games.
2:34:33
He's ridiculous. He's gonna be his Insanity.
2:34:36
Like he's gonna be better than bodard and when bodar came out
2:34:40
he's been a bust. And if I was in a bad second, if
2:34:43
I was Chicago right now, if but Dart fails in Chicago, this
2:34:47
coming year at the trade deadline, get as much as you can
2:34:50
from bodard, send him somewhere where he can develop because
2:34:53
they're not developing, right? This guy is gonna unbelievable
2:34:56
shot and he really last year what do you have 23 goals?
2:34:59
25 goals? This guy's a sniper he had a low
2:35:01
point total overall horrible. I mean he has been he's just
2:35:05
like Alexis Lafayette. He was the number one, he's
2:35:08
better just but I really is, he really?
2:35:11
I don't know. He's got the all.
2:35:12
He's not the all around players. Not in Chicago, not in Chicago.
2:35:18
That's all I'm gonna say. All right guys, that's hockey
2:35:20
for now I'm sure we'll have more news going forwards.
2:35:23
That was the offseason round. I feel bad for Bedard because
2:35:27
he's put in a really bad situation in Chicago and
2:35:30
ownership and the executives over there are betting on him to
2:35:34
be the Patrick Kane or Jonathan. James, he's not that type of guy
2:35:38
I don't think he's a leader. He's a quiet guy.
2:35:41
Anybody that's checked out the documentaries about him, over
2:35:44
the last couple of years, you can see he's not a big man, he
2:35:48
is a decent skater. He's not a great skater,
2:35:50
unbelievable shot. But in hockey, you need speed,
2:35:54
hockey is different. Now than it ever has been, if
2:35:57
you don't have the speed to keep up with some of these fast guys,
2:36:00
like the economic, David's, the bars of the world.
2:36:02
And some of these younger guys that are just so fast, you're
2:36:05
not gonna be able to be that Elite player that everybody
2:36:07
thought you were going to be, but dark could fix that John
2:36:09
Tavares. Did he fixed it up?
2:36:11
And he became a better skater. I just don't know in Chicago, if
2:36:16
it's going to work and he still very young All right, let's go
2:36:19
to a sports minute. When we come back goodies, Bad
2:36:21
Boyz. This is the Java and the mouth
2:36:27
Sportsman is hey guys. Aaron Fishman here.
2:36:30
Once again, with your sports minute, gonna go through a few
2:36:33
stories before we get into some baseball scores tonight, all
2:36:38
right, early on Wednesday, the IIHF NHL nhlpa.
2:36:42
And the ioc came to an agreement that will allow NHL players to
2:36:47
play in the 2026 Milan. Cortina Winter Olympics, this is
2:36:53
the first usage of NHL players in the events since 2014.

The door is also reportedly being left open for the usage of
2:37:00
players in the 2030, French, Alps Winter Olympics, the
2:37:04
following Olympic event, the Canada and the United States
2:37:08
featured prominently in this year's successful, foreign
2:37:11
Nations Faceoff, which Canada won Canada.
2:37:13
Would be looking for its first gold medal in hockey since 2414.
2:37:17
While the US has not won Olympic gold since the Miracle on Ice at
2:37:21
Lake Placid in 1980 so long ago. I've regularly taught it when
2:37:26
covering the cold war in history courses for the past decade.
2:37:30
Former world heavyweight boxing champion.
2:37:32
Tyson Fury has announced that he will be coming out of retirement
2:37:35
in 2026. Fury, who is 36 years old?
2:37:38
Retired, from boxing. Four different times since 2013.
2:37:42
He lost his last two bouts against Alexander usyk, there is
2:37:46
still hope for a Tyson Fury. Anthony Joshua dream match.
2:37:49
That is going to happen a few years later and anyone wanted to
2:37:53
on the table but most fight fans will believe that fight when
2:37:56
they see it at this point, his Excellency turki, Al Sheikh
2:37:59
announced earlier today, that Fury will make yet another
2:38:03
comeback. Turkey tweeted, the Gypsy King
2:38:05
will be back. I talked with him and I have his
2:38:08
words to have him in Riyadh season in 2026.
2:38:11
We have a rabbit to hunt. Saudi Arabian.
2:38:15
Money is just as good as any other money.
2:38:18
Apparently. And fury will take every dime.
2:38:20
He can while attempting to flying back to the top of the
2:38:23
fight game. As he answers his lead 30s and
2:38:26
now a new Mini bit fish. Fades pop culture.
2:38:29
Sean? Columns, AKA Diddy was found
2:38:32
guilty of two charges of Transportation of former
2:38:35
girlfriends for prostitution, but was acquitted of the more
2:38:38
major charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, while many
2:38:41
in Diddy's campers singing victory, I wouldn't be belting
2:38:45
out. It's all about the Benjamins
2:38:46
just yet as the two charges did, he were convicted on, are
2:38:49
federal felonies and will likely to lead to jail time for some
2:38:53
reasons. Prosecutors decided to charge
2:38:55
ditty. Like he was Scarface and not for
2:38:58
domestic violence or sexual assault, which seemed far more
2:39:01
likely to get a conviction. So, in the case of Diddy do it,
2:39:04
or did he did, he kind of did but did he didn't into eyes of
2:39:08

2:42:17
I mean if you want to juggle him, you can juggle his speed.
2:42:20
You want to grab his balls. I am not a good juggler.
2:42:22
Would you grab his balls? Know why, what's wrong?
2:42:24
I wouldn't do it question. If you want to choose?
2:42:29
Who's polls? You want to juggle?
2:42:30

2:43:15
That's how you become great, man and your balls at their Oh wow,
2:43:24
that's a great drop. You can't lie about that.
2:43:27
It's been a look at those juggling balls that good.
2:43:29
It is a very impressive Tech. I know the grabbing his balls
2:43:33
would be a tactic when we're not.
2:43:35
Why would it be not nearly as impressive as that.
2:43:37
I mean he's got a bean bag so you can I go.
2:43:40
Yeah, but grabbing it is not more impressive than juggling.
2:43:42
Well, what was your favorite? I don't think.
2:43:44
I'll let you grab my balls but I wouldn't do it anyway.
2:43:47
Cody don't worry well what was your favorite sport growing up?
2:43:50
Speedy to play or to like to watch the play the play.
2:43:54
I would say not false. Probably my favorite dodgeball
2:43:58
out of older Sports, he dodge ball and whoever win.
2:44:03
Did you ever win really? I'm surprised.
2:44:06
Wow. You asked enough to catch those
2:44:09
bowls, I think catch him. I just if I caught some of them,
2:44:13
but I was gonna, I was gonna agility wise.
2:44:16
I'm sure you are those balls, right?
2:44:21
It's the 5DS, you gotta know that.
2:44:25
Listen. Oh, Patrick.
2:44:29
What are the five D's? Not five stars.
2:44:34
And Dodge duck dip Dodge. All right, all right.
2:44:42
My son used to love that movie. Yeah, that is a good movie.
2:44:45
I can't lie. And my girlfriend loves Vince
2:44:48
Vaughn loves Vince Vaughn. I don't know.
2:44:50
She doesn't like Will Ferrell, but she likes Vince Vaughn, and
2:44:53
they're practically the same person.
2:44:54
I don't get it. I don't get it.
2:44:57
There are their comedy is practically the same.
2:44:59
They're both stupid. And reality is, is they're
2:45:02
dopest for real life. If you have a meet them and
2:45:05
they're Giants. Absolute Giants.
2:45:07
When you stand right next to Carl.
2:45:09
I was, I was pretty solid as a dodgeball player.
2:45:11
I don't know. I can't attest for Nathan, could
2:45:14
you? Imagine Nathan and Speedy on a
2:45:17
dodgeball team that ladies and gentlemen, would be something I
2:45:21
would hate it. Here's the real question, are we
2:45:23
going to have nothing oriented rules or nothing gets the dots
2:45:26
it with his leash, SWAT, the ball away, Duty Dodger.
2:45:32
My pinky is bigger than yours. He would be relevant for
2:45:36
Dodgeball, but you do need. To know that's liquor.
2:45:42
Are you ready? Yeah, I mean, I I think so.
2:45:47
Look at nithin in the bag, he's Nathan's in the private section
2:45:51
over there, just cracking up because those takes are the
2:45:56
best. You can't lie, nithin and speak.
2:45:58
Would you have nothing in them in the soundboard room?
2:46:00
For like, what? Three hours just ripping out?
2:46:04
Next backup plan for so. It'll just hold sex.
2:46:08
Doesn't he look like Dracula? No, no, that's a new one.
2:46:13
So I I would say Javis. Got some good ones here.
2:46:16
Listen to this horse, I take a shet.
2:46:20
I got the bubble guts. What about skid mark?
2:46:26
I got this definitely the new best one.
2:46:28
I got the Bubble Guppies. Oh.
2:46:30
Alright, you ready? Good.
2:46:32
Let's do it. All right, let's do it.
2:46:34
Ready. Are you ready?
2:46:35
Let's drive. It speedy, drive.
2:46:37
It shows you drive. This recently LSU is deciding to
2:46:42
add advertisements to their jerseys.
2:46:44
Don't know if you guys saw there or not, but what are the
2:46:46
implications in the fan? The fan reactions?
2:46:49
All right. How did you guys hear this or
2:46:52
know I heard about it that's surprising with it, that's
2:46:55
surprising with the deals. Okay that makes sense.
2:46:56
Okay so some implications we have a revenue boost.
2:47:01
So obviously with nil sweeping the college seen this could be a
2:47:05
boost and money. So more money to add to the
2:47:08
competitive resources. You know, you see these
2:47:11
quarterbacks signing for millions and millions of
2:47:13
dollars. So to me to me, this would be
2:47:15
almost like in the Mexican League where we had 45 different
2:47:19
advertisements on our jerseys, at the cafe, or, you know,
2:47:22
whatever the local Margarita shop was, but whatever it is
2:47:29
what it is. They Integrity of the uniform
2:47:31
at, you know, LSU's uniform is historic, and that they never
2:47:34
change. Every now, and then they'll have
2:47:35
a different Helmet or color scheme, whether it be gold or
2:47:39
the white units, they throw, but LSU's on tradition.
2:47:43
So, I'm not sure, I'm not sure how it's going to look and
2:47:47
whether or not people are going to like that the reaction though
2:47:51
right now from the fans is, mixed, I think they like the
2:47:55
fact that More money will be brought into the program.
2:48:00
Meaning they can go out and get the better players and and
2:48:03
compete with like the Michigan's and and all the other SEC
2:48:06
schools. Not that they're not competing
2:48:07
now. But if you're showing a kid next
2:48:10
two or three 300,000 dollars, It might work right?
2:48:14
Well that convinced Brian Kelly actually be a good big game.
2:48:17
Head coach is another question though.
2:48:19
Well, if they yeah well I can't I can't speak on a Brian Kelly.
2:48:23
You guys get an ingredient over there.
2:48:25
You just you guys have won every every year.
2:48:28
It seems like guys been there every year now.
2:48:30
You just want more money to get, get all the best players down.
2:48:32
They want to baseball titles and three years.
2:48:35
They want to women's basketball title.
2:48:37
They think a gymnastics title, I believe, they have a pretty good
2:48:40
and the last like, Five years, we've won like five natties and
2:48:45
different sports track and field.
2:48:46
Gymnastics women's basketball baseball.
2:48:54
Would you go bowling? Bowling.
2:48:56
I I actually I don't like this because could you imagine the
2:49:01
Yankees? Do that sell out the Yankees.
2:49:03
Don't want to put your names on The Jersey.
2:49:05
Yeah, they have the Yankees have start.
2:49:07
Don't they have some the star written on their jerseys right
2:49:10
now? So, I mean, it is being seen in
2:49:11
professional sports, but they're not, they're not all Out, the
2:49:15
LSU Tigers are going to be doing.
2:49:17
I mean, seriously, they're putting to me.
2:49:19
It's it's College. It's College to me, but it's
2:49:22
called gonna be good at. You would know better, obviously
2:49:25
being close to it and I, I read about it.
2:49:27
Is it going to be like, kind of what?
2:49:31
It has been portrayed like with NBA where it's right here with.
2:49:36
Baseball's right here. It's not gonna look like a damn
2:49:38
NASCAR jacket. Is it?
2:49:40
I don't know, I don't think the fans would appreciate.
2:49:44
Okay. I don't, I don't think it's
2:49:45
going to now. I I don't know what they're
2:49:49
actually from what it sounded like, it didn't, it was gonna be
2:49:51
more of like it's probably Add Revenue base but just like not
2:49:56
everywhere. Maybe different on different
2:49:59
uniforms this kind of the way I took it like each different
2:50:02
uniform will have a different Advertising is kind of.
2:50:05
So like if it gets to a truus like a European soccer team or
2:50:09
like the Mexican baseball team for sure, the fans will will be
2:50:14
some backlash from the fans because.
2:50:16
Yeah, guys, for sure. Extremely traditional, it's like
2:50:22
to me. I can see like, a mid-major
2:50:25
school maybe doing it, trying to get more Revenue, but like your
2:50:28
LSU. You're already generating a ton
2:50:29
of money as it is. He all the national
2:50:32
championships and the donors that are there.
2:50:34
I think baseball this year, spent upwards of four million
2:50:37
dollars on their baseball team and that's not even the highest.
2:50:39
Okay, 2.2 million on two or one point, one on two players.
2:50:44
So, 2.2 million for two guys, but you you as a player and
2:50:48
knowing the fan base and whatever.
2:50:50
So, if you just have this big king glamour come in, and it's
2:50:54
like Tony, Tony shakers would probably be Tony chachere's, the
2:51:00
salt, the hot salt, you know, you can go there.
2:51:02
It's called Tony's that they're already a sponsor for LSU
2:51:07
baseball. And I'm sure LSU had just in
2:51:10
general. So like, if you have like the
2:51:12
Tonys logo, I don't know, here or here.
2:51:16
It's Louisiana based. So I don't think the fast.
2:51:20
bigger too much but then again, you know, If you have screw it,
2:51:24
if they gonna have that we might as well get our logo put on the
2:51:27
LSU Jersey that would be big for us.
2:51:29
Why don't we do that? Let's reach out.
2:51:31
What is Utah's? What's the approval though from
2:51:33
the I don't know. Is it, is it like a licensing
2:51:37
licensing? Deal, like, you have to pay into
2:51:40
something like, obviously, like major sports but that was the
2:51:44
kind of the thing that I wondered too is like, what, what
2:51:47
are they proving is like, I'm assuming he can't be like booze
2:51:50
cigarettes like which some of the biggest biggest sponsorships
2:51:54
back in the day were but obviously, yeah, I like I don't
2:51:57
I don't foresee having like a Yuengling logo on their left
2:52:02
sleeve like you know what I'm saying for sure not Bud, Light
2:52:06
or Budweiser they do. So alcohol at the game but I
2:52:08
don't think that they would have that there has to be, there has
2:52:11
to be some boundaries put up otherwise it could get out of
2:52:16
hand quick. How about the end?
2:52:18
I don't like the And our our, let's get that on here.
2:52:21
And our our the new thing just put a leash a nice little leash
2:52:25
right here on this logo. Absolutely.
2:52:27
That would be I'm putting you on a leash now, if there was a it's
2:52:32
a college sporting, leashes, that'll be the sponsor.
2:52:36
Yeah. All right.
2:52:39
My next one, we're gonna shift to baseball here.
2:52:42
With baseball. You know, baseball is just in
2:52:45
the swing of things. We're getting ready to have the
2:52:47
mid-season class in the All-Star game.
2:52:49
I think the All-Star lineups just came out recently, which
2:52:51
I'm sure we'll cover here shortly.
2:52:52
Yeah, today, but the NL starters, nla starters.
2:52:58
Injuries were on the rise for starting pitching.
2:53:00
My question is, will we see an MLB team?
2:53:02
Use a six-man. Rotation full-time.
2:53:04
Other than 2025, or 2026. So strategically You know, teams
2:53:12
are pushing these starters. I don't want to say they're
2:53:15
pushing him harder because the pitch count has gone down.
2:53:17
But starters in general, are throwing heart of the average
2:53:19
velocity of Major League Baseball is creeped up and to I
2:53:22
think 93 94. It's got to be now for starting
2:53:26
pitchers. Well, with that happening, the
2:53:28
injuries are on the rise, we've covered this multiple times, but
2:53:31
is a six-man rotation, Beneficial and could it become
2:53:37
the norm in baseball. And the reason why I bring this
2:53:41
up is because they're well, the reason why that this could be
2:53:44
beneficial is for workload management picture development
2:53:48
more time in between starts to hone in on certain things, go
2:53:52
over video cover, if you're tipping pitches, which will be
2:53:56
in my next segment, and Obviously going over your
2:53:59
analytics and I think full-time, I think we see in the Mariners
2:54:03
in the angels of dabbled with it, just a little bit as well as
2:54:07
the Yankees and the Dodge's. Could go to it.
2:54:12
Because the injuries are creeping up.
2:54:14
But they're starting rotation. I think the first team that's
2:54:16
going to do it, it's Cincinnati because I got a guy, like Frank
2:54:19
Kona is always a trendsetter, and I could see Terry Francona
2:54:23
being the first manager to actually pull that off and do
2:54:27
that six-man rotation. I don't even think it's going to
2:54:29
be the Yankees at a Dodgers. I could see more with those
2:54:33
small Market teams. These teams that are up and
2:54:35
coming like Cincinnati with the talent that they have in their
2:54:38
farm system, the pitching process that they have.
2:54:40
I think Cincinnati. And Terry Francona would be the
2:54:43
first to do that. He said the Mariners, and Angels
2:54:47
have dabbled with it, but like teams, like the tiger is the
2:54:49
Reds, the Marlins was deep young pitching.
2:54:53
There could be the teams of fully embrace it first.
2:54:54
Yeah, I was gonna mention Seattle.
2:54:57
Think dilemma, they have a lot of really good top pitcher.
2:55:00
So if you want them getting more Innings versus how do you keep
2:55:03
him healthy type thing, because they've already had a lot of
2:55:05
guys that have already been hurt this year.
2:55:06
And I think that's the Dilemma that a like, organizational
2:55:10
structure wise, you want to be able to because the concept
2:55:12
Works in favor, but you also want to like make it work.
2:55:15
Where you have your top players and balance your roster out that
2:55:17
way too, where you could have that debt going on other areas.
2:55:20
Now, obviously, most of the depth of the rosters the way
2:55:22
it's structured right now with it, 26, men and roster want to
2:55:25
have extra pictures as it is. Anyway, it's rather you see a
2:55:28
2021 Giants case. We have six guys on the bench
2:55:31
hitting wise and make that kind of thing work, but in the case
2:55:35
of the Mariners, definitely interesting.
2:55:37
So, before I ask you a question job.
2:55:40
Well, I was here. If you're the GM or a pitching
2:55:42
coach, do you sacrifice a few extra innings from your number
2:55:45
one? Guy via like a coal Gerrit Cole
2:55:49
when he comes back or Corbin Burnes?
2:55:52
oh, because you want them out there as Optimus possible.
2:55:55
So you sacrifice Extra Innings from your number one for the
2:55:58
potential health benefits and Longevity and the performance.
2:56:03
I I can I see it both ways in and I'll say, yes, you
2:56:07
obviously, health is first and foremost, but now what you've
2:56:12
created to, if you do do that and we've seen it throughout the
2:56:16
year where you give a guy an extra day and you turn it into
2:56:19
like a six day, but not like consecutive throughout the year.
2:56:21
Obviously, Japan there once a week.
2:56:24
Yeah. Where where?
2:56:25
I think it kind of can can hurt a little bit goody and let me, I
2:56:29
want to get your perspective on this too.
2:56:30
Is they've created to get to this point every five days.
2:56:35
And their body has got to that point of okay, I know this is my
2:56:39
routine. This is my routine.
2:56:41
This is my routine. Now changing that routine
2:56:44
doesn't help or does it hinder because now your body has to
2:56:46
react in different way of getting the extra day.
2:56:48
Yes, it may be The extra day that you need and certain
2:56:53
circumstances throughout the year, which they do do.
2:56:57
But now, if you're going to do that for the whole year, you're
2:57:01
taking away a roster spot. Realistically, you're taking
2:57:04
away, a bat, you're taking away defensive replacement, you're
2:57:06
taking away a certain Dynamic of so I can see both sides of it.
2:57:12
I just think when guys are so ingrained of every five days
2:57:17
getting to the big leagues and that So you have to change it in
2:57:21
in my early weeks too, then because you're not going to go
2:57:24
every five days, then you get to the big leagues and now it's
2:57:27
like, okay. Now I've got to add an extra day
2:57:29
of. What the hell do I do?
2:57:32
yeah, that's I don't know how much of an adjustment that would
2:57:36
be. I mean, we're talking about the
2:57:38
top 1% of, you know. Athletes.
2:57:40
It's sucks, bro. It sucks.
2:57:42
Yeah, I've done it. Yeah, I mean I know that you
2:57:45
could do it. I know you have that, you'd
2:57:46
probably have to throw your Bullpen two days.
2:57:49
Shoot. I mean, I don't even know this
2:57:50
how the schedule would work. I was never, I mean, I wasn't a
2:57:53
starter in professional. Baseball is always ready every
2:57:55
day. I loved him.
2:57:56
Much, you know you have to do but As far as starters go.
2:58:02
I think. If I'm gonna GM, obviously, I
2:58:06
want my Ace out there. So, in the minor League's, they
2:58:08
play for six days and then they have an off-day.
2:58:10
Every week, I think Mondays are off day so the minor league.
2:58:12
Like, if you had six starters, you could do that and everybody
2:58:16
pitches one time a week. But then again, the roster of
2:58:19
vacation implications and not having your Ace out there every
2:58:23
fifth day. Like how does that look in the
2:58:26
postseason, you know, now you early I'm curious about any team
2:58:30
would like plan for an earlier in the season on a more
2:58:32
consistent basis, with still having good pitching talents,
2:58:36
Yeah, that's but that's yeah. I mean these are all things that
2:58:40
need to be discussed and have been brought up.
2:58:43
That's the only way to be your Insider though is what I'm
2:58:45
saying. Like because I think you there
2:58:47
is a dilemma. Do you want your Aces out there
2:58:49
and top-end guys, more All right.
2:58:51
So do you keep do you keep your? Yeah.
2:58:53
I mean you keep your Ace on a five-day and everybody else go
2:58:56
six. Like I don't know how that I
2:58:58
don't know how it work. I don't know how any of that
2:59:01
would work, but how about this? I'll make those decisions.
2:59:04
How about this? Having your Ace pitch for
2:59:06
Innings and playing him? Two, three times a week. if he's
2:59:11
able and capable of doing or maybe playing him three Innings
2:59:14
and having a pitch three straight and then and doing that
2:59:17
now, you know, it's okay, so somebody like a Derek Cole or
2:59:21
Clayton Kershaw or you know, whatever hunter green like what
2:59:25
is that look like in terms of When he goes arbitration, hey
2:59:30
you only throw three Innings, every, you know, four days or
2:59:34
whatever it might be. Like, how does that affect his?
2:59:39
Potential earnings. And then, how does that also
2:59:41
play into the fact, if you have somebody who's good to be at a
2:59:43
Hall of Famer, like, how does that rack up against the
2:59:46
All-Star or the Hall of Fame? Oh, fish actually says, I think
2:59:50
Ace the ace on five days and like everyone else is on six
2:59:56
days is very interesting. That's what he says.
3:00:01
Yeah. I don't know, I don't know.
3:00:03
We'll see what happens. but, We'll see what happens.
3:00:08
I mean it maybe it takes off. Maybe it doesn't, but I just
3:00:11
thought that'd be something good to bring up here.
3:00:12
It's coming along and for my last fall in the bag.
3:00:19
I got it. I'm just gonna say a stat line.
3:00:22
I want, you know what? I want you to tell me who it is.
3:00:25
Point one. Innings pitch, seven runs five
3:00:29
earn five hits allowed to walk. Zero strikeouts era for the
3:00:33
game, 100 and 135. Every Mets, pitcher imaginable.
3:00:37
Seems like recently does that jump off the table then if you
3:00:42
guys I heard of it's not like that.
3:00:47
If it was recently, I'm not sure offhand, but I know there was
3:00:51
Montez rehab to start along 12 frogs.
3:00:54
Yeah, Montas was got touched up there.
3:00:58
Chase Burns. Chase Burns against the Red Sox
3:01:00
and 30th really want a third of an inning seven runs earned or
3:01:04
seven runs five earned. Five hits allowed to walks, no
3:01:08
strikeouts broadcasters on Boston's live TV boost
3:01:12
immediately speculated he was tipping his pitches Noting that
3:01:16
the Yankees Sluggers were off on the side telling and tell as
3:01:20
they were walking into the Dugout after scoring because it
3:01:22
was like a damn area. Go round out there, you know.
3:01:26
telling us what he's doing tipping his pitches on his
3:01:28
slider and his fastball so, The Reds media said.
3:01:35
In a quote they're not that chase Burns was not fooling the
3:01:39
Red Sox hitters that night clearly he wasn't now.
3:01:43
Do you know what tipping your pitches is Java.
3:01:46
I know you can elaborate on this tipping your pictures for those
3:01:49
who don't know who are listening or watching explain to them what
3:01:52
tipping their tipping, your pitches means and how can
3:01:56
implicate you and your start. Oh, it can be a lot of ways.
3:02:00
It could be the way you hold your glove like this.
3:02:03
You could be fastball. This could be a curveball and
3:02:06
it's just these little little things that you see the way your
3:02:10
hand shapes. I I got called out Tori.
3:02:12
Hunter was one of the greatest to ever do it.
3:02:15
And he would always do this, like he would do this and he
3:02:17
goes just watch, just watch the picture, you'll see something.
3:02:21
And it really, really helped me. But I was a bad finger flyer.
3:02:24
So when I would throw a curveball, my finger would fly.
3:02:27
So I had to use a finger condom So my finger wouldn't go up
3:02:30
because I would tip every time that I would go to, that's
3:02:34
again, that's a good. So what it is, that's what it
3:02:40
is. Speed.
3:02:41
It's really what helped me when we when we just when we design
3:02:45
our gloves. That's literally what it's
3:02:46
called a fingerhood. Yeah, but no.
3:02:50
So yeah and so it's it could be where your hands come set.
3:02:53
You could be right here. For a fastball.
3:02:57
You could be right here for a curveball, but it's just those
3:03:00
little things. And these guys are so good at
3:03:01
picking up, things like that and everybody's watching it and it's
3:03:05
how you separate your hands. Where is your wrist placement?
3:03:07
Like how they can they see it? Like, there's just so many
3:03:09
things where you can tip pitches and you know, it's just it's
3:03:15
tough when you when you get into those kind of Rhythms.
3:03:19
Because you know, it's just it's muscle memory.
3:03:22
And so it's just kind of one of those things where you you have
3:03:24
to for me personally, when I was doing because you don't feel it.
3:03:28
No, I actually came up to me and game against The Orioles and
3:03:34
told me I was tipping pitches. I went back and looked I wasn't
3:03:37
he looked went back and looked and was I just sucked that day?
3:03:39
Yeah, sometimes you just suck but it's true fact that these
3:03:43
guys right here were sitting first pitch slider.
3:03:45
I'm talking about Trevor story and mayor, we're sitting first
3:03:49
pitch, slider and change up and just absolutely thinking monster
3:03:51
hacks off them. When you see that as a picture,
3:03:54
you who sits first pitch slide, everybody's taught to gear up
3:03:57
for the fastball and adjust off speed.
3:03:58
So like immediately tell The what they call Chase Burns Out
3:04:03
was his elbow, is what I've seen all over Twitter.
3:04:05
It was just Yeah, yeah, it's wrist.
3:04:09
That's what it was. His wrist was whatever, doing
3:04:11
whatever, turbo and straight on a fastball and don't not to
3:04:15
mention, you have Alex core and that dog out too who's Pretty
3:04:19
well known around the league for his time in Houston.
3:04:22
So this isn't this, by the way, this isn't any legal to do.
3:04:25
This is totally within the parameters of baseball.
3:04:29
When you're giving a tip, look, I look for tips all the time, I
3:04:32
guess the pictures we face and there's a ton of them.
3:04:34
But It sucks. It sucks.
3:04:39
Oh, I'm tipping is one. I look at Speedy, when he's in
3:04:42
the bathroom, right? He's Beatty.
3:04:43
Why are you looking at people in the back?
3:04:45
I'm looking at you in the bathroom.
3:04:46
I just Ah Speedy, tell him how you tip people when you're in
3:04:53
the bathroom. Iconic thinking, are you?
3:05:00
Ever, you know, show you thing to anybody in the bathroom.
3:05:03
Know then how my thing is just dude he pitch against the
3:05:06
Yankees in his first start punched out eight in a row and
3:05:09
then he goes to Boston, like the Yankees couldn't pick up the
3:05:11
youth. The Yankees couldn't pick up the
3:05:12
tip in the first game. In Black memory eraser that I
3:05:23
haven't brought that one in for a while.
3:05:25
I got that one, I don't if it is too many good one.
3:05:32
It is evolution. There's no question that we need
3:05:36
nothing on the the ribs. Oh we got net breaking news.
3:05:40
I farted In the breaking news, we meet them.
3:05:48
Don't get Okay, doesn't make no breaking news.
3:05:54
I want to hit it. Breaking news, a new digital.
3:06:03
Best one. Now there's nothing fart after
3:06:07
he eats the pound cake and drinks the gin and tonic or
3:06:10
before my pinky is bigger than yours.
3:06:16
Definitely possible. Carl plays with himself.
3:06:26
Carl. Get beat up in the comments.
3:06:27
Lulu drama drama. My rear end is burning.
3:06:33
Looks like he wants a sign job. Anyways, anyways, he's got, he's
3:06:41
got a chance to learn here and everybody in the league.
3:06:44
I'm sure is scouring over their videos.
3:06:45
I don't even know if people know who were talking about.
3:06:47
Still Chase Burns, not Nathan. One third of an inning seven
3:06:53
runs, five earned. That doesn't, that doesn't help
3:06:56
to earn any by the way. No, well, that's what the 135
3:07:00
year, right? And so, you know, and when asked
3:07:03
about it burns kind of just drugs and Couldn't really tell
3:07:07
you well couldn't really tell you so I'm sure the pitching
3:07:12
coach. I think it's Derek Johnson and
3:07:14
Chase Burns gonna be watching a ton of video.
3:07:17
But I mean, what's stuff like that?
3:07:18
You're showing on the screen right now?
3:07:19
I mean, does it really? I mean, it just goes to show you
3:07:22
that even the best, there's the world like when they know what's
3:07:24
coming. They can hit. but some some guys
3:07:31
like, did you ever run into guys at second like, Oh yeah, and the
3:07:36
patterns where some guys would want to know.
3:07:38
Some guys wouldn't want to know. Yeah, I played with Michael
3:07:41
Brantley. He didn't want to know.
3:07:42
He said it would screw him up one of the most underrated
3:07:46
hitters in baseball, your header.
3:07:49
Yeah. Yeah, he was a I thought he was
3:07:51
the best pure hitter in the baseball for sure.
3:07:53
Most balanced hitter. Unbelievable.
3:07:57
Great fishermen too. I love Lisa and see.
3:08:03
Now the real question who the different love Lisa?
3:08:06
Ann Moore does Java love Sophie Cunningham board.
3:08:08
That's the real question job. I like my shrimp cocktail. you
3:08:13

3:10:38
Well, that's it. That's a good one.
3:10:39
I got the Bubble Guppies. Oh yeah, he's really do the best
3:10:44
easily the best new recent job. I think shit.

3:11:09
This did say, do do. oh, Definitely man.
3:11:14
He's all about it, Lulu. Where where is Nathan?
3:11:20
This is high here. He was here and then he just
3:11:22
appeared Scoops. It's always moving.
3:11:24
And shaking. My pinky is bigger than yours.
3:11:29
all right, let's so, we're gonna Some baseball where you were
3:11:35
talking about. The.
3:11:38
The All-Star Game earlier Jason, Jacob Wilson become the first
3:11:42
rookie shortstop ever to make it.
3:11:44
And only the third in the last 21st century for the Athletics
3:11:48
that I've actually won a fan boat named the other two
3:11:51
players. Sahara.
3:11:54
Know. Alex Rodriguez.
3:11:57
Athletics players for the Angels.
3:12:00
I can't hear you when you're eating the mic play with my Did
3:12:07
you, did you say rookie? Shortstop couch but he's the
3:12:11
first rookie shorts have to win. The fan.
3:12:13
Vote is the, the question is not just rookies.
3:12:17
It could be anybody. It just two eighties.
3:12:19
Bobby Crosby. I need a blow pop.
3:12:22
It was not Bobby Crosby. That's a good guess, though?
3:12:24
I was thinking he would be one of them when I was doing this.
3:12:27
All right, I could have sworn. It was gonna be hotter.
3:12:29
That's crazy. Let me see rookie.
3:12:32
You're talking about. No know anyone with the ace.
3:12:34
Anybody what? So a popular ageless any Ace?
3:12:42
Hitters as to be a hitter. Yeah.
3:12:45
What's his name? He can play for the Mets.
3:12:51
Who's the guy play with the Mets?
3:12:52
Who got ran by a pig or whatever?
3:12:54
Well, what was his name? What is this?
3:12:57
I can't believe I forgot his name.
3:12:59
The guy who ended up as a closer.
3:13:01
No hitter. I'll feel her.
3:13:04
He got a big contract from the Mets, he was bringing all these
3:13:08
different cars to pretty spring training.
3:13:10
Oh, I know oh yeah, and it's not the answer, man.
3:13:15
It's a good guess though. I've heard, there's got to be.
3:13:18
There's like crazy stories about that guy.
3:13:21
And it's it's just starting, it didn't have to be at shortstop,
3:13:24
right? Now, just any headers.
3:13:28
Any hitters? Ace hitters.
3:13:33
No, no 20 in the last 2000. 21st century Yonder Alonso.
3:13:38
Know. It was.
3:13:42
No good. That's a good Chris Davis with a
3:13:45
K. Good.
3:13:46
That's a good pay, raise. I think it's all stars with the
3:13:49
Brewers. Not as much the ace.
3:13:50
He was a okay. Cocoa Crispies know.
3:13:56
Damn, that's a good guess, man. I got nothing for.
3:14:01
I don't even know like one ace player.
3:14:05
All right, so I got Jake Harrison, I'm just Rucker know.
3:14:10
He got one more. Can I push my pick the job?
3:14:17
Is that allowed? The damn, the left handed
3:14:23
hitter. Did know, he's gonna say the
3:14:27
movie would make. You think Scott hattieburg was
3:14:29
no great players. He was it with the Astros or
3:14:33
with the A's. Josh Reddick.
3:14:38
Now. Shit.
3:14:40
No, I don't think Joshua was an All-Star.
3:14:43
Was it Kenya? Carlos Pena now.
3:14:46
Okay. Speedy.
3:14:47
Who is it? No, you guys have multiple
3:14:49
guesses? It's two people.
3:14:50
So oh I don't know. We only get one guess this one.
3:14:54
Come on, let's go. All right so it actually works
3:14:55
to Future Yankees. One of them was Jason Giambi.
3:14:59
The other was Josh Donaldson. These two guys, get one guy.
3:15:02
One I was giving you two guys. Come on.
3:15:04
Let's go. So where we put all right
3:15:07

3:15:12
You like he likes it. There we go.
3:15:16
All right, all right, so we'll go to school.
3:15:18
Go to some basketball now. So, the year that the Cavalier

3:16:31
this. Yeah, right below.
3:16:33
That sucker up. Look at me.
3:16:34
Oh, dang. I'm a freaking TV star Harley.
3:16:37
If you don't, if you got your stuff, go bottom left.
3:16:43
That's fine. Bottom left.
3:16:44
Make it big though. We want a big.
3:16:45
Yeah. What the lady.
3:16:50
Yes, suck it. A lot of hot lady drink it.
3:16:57
That's probably what he's doing right now.
3:17:00
All right, well, shift to some football for this one.
3:17:04
So make a Fitzpatrick, is a one of three, Miami Dolphins who
3:17:08
were all pro players in the 20th century named one of the other
3:17:12
two. Defensive backs.
3:17:16
You said Miami bags that are were all proud to send backs in
3:17:20
the in the 20th and 21st century hours.
3:17:30
And there's two of them. Yep.
3:17:33
Dolphins defensive backs. And wasn't Ramsey.
3:17:43
It was not, it was, it was not, he wasn't all pro, he was pro
3:17:47
bowler with the dolphins when he was never Old Pro.
3:17:50
It's all Pros were with the Jags and the Rams.
3:17:53
Okay, I'm trying to remember. Trying to go back.
3:17:57
Hey look, I got my one, you guys.
3:18:04
That's a hard one. Did we silent play down there?
3:18:07
We did not have them on the show now.
3:18:09
Know. About revised down there.
3:18:14
Anybody get. All right, I'll give you.
3:18:16
I'll give you a hint. He has he has a tie with
3:18:20
somebody currently in the NFL. A tie.
3:18:25
It exactly what they wear. The same time.
3:18:28
I would give it away. No he has I'll say connection.
3:18:30
Is that a better word? I can't reveal exactly what it
3:18:33
is. You really just Expedia or like
3:18:36
or like he is a memory or play or something next Sister much of
3:18:43
a help to a analytics. Current NFL Corner.
3:18:47
How about that? He is connected to a current NFL
3:18:51
Corner. Oh, I know exactly who this is.
3:18:54
Where is it? Someone who is Kid is in the
3:18:59
league now and it's Mister certain not correct.
3:19:02
Look at that. Son would give it away.
3:19:04
I would know how to really do up by.
3:19:05
Yeah I think that was you Okay. Wow, look at you, Jon Fishman.
3:19:14
Know, John's in my family. You want to jerk me off?
3:19:18
Ethan is so creepy. In that it's I need Brittany
3:19:21
also. That's great.
3:19:27
All right, we're gonna go down here.
3:19:29
I have no sack. All right, so we'll go back to
3:19:32
baseball for this one, obviously, Aaron judge.
3:19:34
I want 30 minutes, 33 home runs right now is a not far behind
3:19:38
the American League record. For most before the All-Star
3:19:42
break this player did it with 37, home runs in 2013. 2013
3:19:48
really. Boys were playing that year,
3:19:56
were you? Yeah.
3:19:59
I said America right now. American League.
3:20:01
Yes, America 37, before the break in the American League.
3:20:08
Oh, 2013. He's taking me deep.
3:20:14
It's Chris Davis. It's correct.
3:20:16
With Baltimore, right? He took me deep in Texas on one
3:20:21
of the eight changeups I've thrown in the big leagues.
3:20:22
That bitch is not landed yet. Yeah, I was gonna say Chris
3:20:26
Davis at the seal. I guess I could have thought
3:20:28
like there it is. And then he went on if well we
3:20:33
win. And that well, you know, he
3:20:35
ended up. He didn't file his Tue.
3:20:37
Yeah. You hit like 50 something and
3:20:40
then he hit like 12 and hit like, 160 and was never the
3:20:43
same. Yeah, you gotta keep on the
3:20:46
Adderall, but he also got paid. So I know he, there he was
3:20:50
interesting for shadow with Karen, actually saying the,
3:20:57
whoa. And that was also had to bring
3:21:01
it up, because now he's actually treatment is Bobby's getting
3:21:04
paid up until I delete this Duty Dodger.
3:21:14
Well, we won this time Speedy. Where is there?
3:21:17
Come back with some harder ones. If he doesn't come back, I get I
3:21:22
get to use him in analytics sentence.
3:21:28
I need a magnifying glass, right?
3:21:31
Strawberry jelly cream. Donut is what it is Speedy.
3:21:37
Do you know what that is? I have no woody.
3:21:39
I don't know what you're talking about.
3:21:42
The nithin terminology or the random Intuit is the old days.
3:21:45
You know, analytics is The Rock and necktie for tonight World.
3:21:52
We're almost there before before the great.
3:21:56
Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, we call this inside baseball.
3:21:59
Now, let's go deep deep inside baseball.
3:22:07
All right, let's go boys. Let's go inside baseball.
3:22:11
We're gonna go through a bunch of stories in baseball right now
3:22:15
and to start it off, we're gonna have to get into the All-Star
3:22:19
game which just announced their starters at seven.
3:22:23
I believe. It's like a little before. 8:00
3:22:25
it was announced. I have the list up here.
3:22:27
I'm gonna share my screen again with you before we get into the
3:22:31
rest of this show but here it is.
3:22:34
We have this starters up Right. Here.
3:22:40
And if you take a look American League starters Cal, Raleigh
3:22:43
Ryan, O'Hearn at DH. That's interesting.
3:22:47
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. At first, gleyber Torres,
3:22:51
starting at second base, Jose Ramirez a third rookie.
3:22:55
Jacob Wilson at Short judge in the Outfield with Riley green
3:22:59
and Javy Baez. Let's talk about those American
3:23:03
League starters for a second boys.
3:23:05
A couple of names. Jump out real quick Javi.
3:23:08
Buy us that did not. It was not on my bingo card for
3:23:11
being an All-Star started this year.
3:23:15
What do you guys think? What was the last time he was
3:23:17
good? Job of you.
3:23:18
Remember, she's always been a swing and Miss guy.
3:23:24
The probably. it had to be what the what was it the year before
3:23:30
he left to sign with the Tiger's probably the year two before in
3:23:35
with the Cubs? other than that, it's been Yeah,
3:23:39
so it's it's been a minute. It's been four or five years.
3:23:41
Probably. I like their infield, by the
3:23:43
way, gleber Torres and and Javy Baez.
3:23:46
Javy Baez is playing. Outfield dog.
3:23:48
He plays center. Oh, that's playing the center.
3:23:51
Well, I just pay attention but when right, I remember how you
3:23:57
buyers from either shortstop or second?
3:23:59
That's, that's what I remember him.
3:24:00
As but well, he was, he was so bad.
3:24:03
They but then he started hitting their like we gotta find you
3:24:06
somewhere. So he's kind of been like, more
3:24:07
of a platoon guy really. Now if he's playing Santa, Fe
3:24:12
Trail incredible. If you think about it.
3:24:13
You move from the infield, second and short and then you go
3:24:16
to center field. Yeah, but there's a short stop,
3:24:19
but you bet your butt must athlete plays.
3:24:21
Shortstop, it can catch the ball.
3:24:23
They can kill the ball so you can really rotate them.
3:24:25
Anyway, well, I mean Mookie Betts with the opposite way.
3:24:28
You know, I actually was listening to Buster only talk to
3:24:32
say football strongly one of the baseball tonight.
3:24:34
I think it was Tim kirchen talking about that soon as he
3:24:37
stopped having to play short. The game got a lot easier for
3:24:40
him because there's so much you have to do as a short stop and
3:24:43
he had a bad hip for years and kind of try to tough through it.
3:24:46
He had surgery he looks healthy and they got him off short.
3:24:50
He played he played some Center while Meadows the prospect was
3:24:53
out. He's I think he's playing more
3:24:55
right field now but that's that's the first thing that
3:24:58
jumps out the one that I don't like is Ryan o'hern who as far
3:25:01
as I understand. I don't think he plays every day
3:25:03
as a platoon is a lot. He's got good numbers but I
3:25:07
don't think he's an everyday guy and Ben rice was up for it.
3:25:10
I would I know Ben rice has struggled some.
3:25:12
I thought he had enough to take that one.
3:25:14
The DH in the American League is pretty weak, though.
3:25:16
What do you guys know about o'hern Speedy?
3:25:18
Let's start with you on this one.
3:25:19
Well, Hermes always been a guy that's been a pretty steady
3:25:22
hitter. Throw us for.
3:25:23
I think this was kind of the big breakout.
3:25:25
Yeah, you're right. He doesn't, he doesn't have the
3:25:27
eye-popping numbers. But again, it's a DH position
3:25:30
that because a lot of them rotate, sometimes play the
3:25:32
field. Sometimes don't nowadays because
3:25:34
of the universal rule. It's not really like you have a
3:25:36
set in stone type 1 anymore but again still a good progressively
3:25:41
good hitter just again you're right.
3:25:42
It's just a weak position this year so it doesn't seem as good.
3:25:45
It's not like you would say all right these are the nine best
3:25:47
hitters. You're not gonna put him there.
3:25:50
You know, like say a Suzuki so much better than than him, but
3:25:53
he's in the National League behind autonomy at DH, so he's
3:25:56
not gonna see the light of day. The only other name that was
3:26:00
surprising. We talked about it already,
3:26:01
Jacob Wilson, the rookie son of Jack Wilson.
3:26:04
That's that's a little one. Was a little, you know, came out
3:26:07
of nowhere. This year's contact guy.
3:26:09
Not doesn't walk a lot, doesn't strike out a lot for rookie at
3:26:13
all. For anybody really?
3:26:17
That was that was the closest race 5248.
3:26:20
And who did he beat out? Bobby Witt Jr.
3:26:22
Yeah, Bobby with Junior and or, you know, arguably there's a guy
3:26:27
we're gonna talk about later is had a better year than both of
3:26:30
them. That's not on this list either.
3:26:32
He's injured right now in Jeremy Pena.
3:26:35
But guys, shorts shortstop of really loaded position.
3:26:38
Jacob Wilson was hitting almost as high in batting average our
3:26:42
most of the season, So we got, I got that one out.
3:26:46
Just go ahead. Jacob Wilson can play baseball
3:26:51
and do it defensively. He's offensively.
3:26:55
He's got a nice little swing can run.
3:26:58
I mean, being out Bobby Witt. Jr.
3:27:00
Is a freaking Fall tasks and really the people in Sacramento
3:27:05
their love, their of their Jacob Wilson.
3:27:08
I think it's very good. I think.
3:27:09
Yeah, they're not their numbers are very similarly, it's funny
3:27:13
too because nobody really talks about batting average now.
3:27:15
And that was the only thing that he was better than Bobby with
3:27:18
two seventy nine, eleven and 45, and Jacob Wilson was 339, nine
3:27:23
and 40. So I mean, it's just The dude
3:27:27
doing it. As he you know, contact guy
3:27:28
doesn't strike out much run and you know it's a great story man.
3:27:32
It's The make make him the face of the franchise.
3:27:41
So Errol if I'm counting, I see, two guys that are Hall of Famers
3:27:46
on there, in my opinion, on the American League side, another
3:27:50
guy that might be there. And one guy, having one of the
3:27:54
greatest years of all time. And if you could do that every
3:27:56
year, he would be a Hall of Famer it in the big dumper.
3:28:00
But Jose Ramirez quietly. Is put up a Hall of Fame career
3:28:06
and he still still doing it. I know you guys are big fans of
3:28:11
his that played with him. Errol you tell me, obviously,
3:28:15
I'm mentioning judge. If he's gonna keep this up, he's
3:28:18
going to the Hall of Fame Gladiator.
3:28:19
By the way, if it's a judge were to retire right now, he's a
3:28:23
whole thing. Just so, you know, glad you're
3:28:25
only 26. He?
3:28:30
Yeah, I was gonna ask you about Riley green a little bit because
3:28:33
he's always been a prospect. That's had good, bad and bald
3:28:37
skills and Speedy. We talked about this early here.
3:28:41
He's, he's been in All Star but now, I mean, it's in the last
3:28:45
week, he is breaking. My goodness.
3:28:47
Yep. We know how to breed them down
3:28:49
here in Florida about? Yeah, he's been.
3:28:51
He's been rising for a while now.
3:28:53
And again, it's a matter of hell.
3:28:55
He is a perennial All Star dude. He is a top gear All-Star, one
3:28:59
of the better hitters in baseball, they balance.
3:29:01
I mean, does it all doesn't defensively?
3:29:04
Doesn't offensively could run and broke.
3:29:06
I want you to subscribe. Average power plays on a place
3:29:10
on the number one team in America League Central right
3:29:12
now. Maybe arguably the best team in
3:29:14
baseball. Site.
3:29:16
And he's there he is their leader thickness.
3:29:19
Well, where does the nickname the big dumper rank for you for
3:29:23
power hitters? I mean, Speedy.
3:29:27
What would be, what would your answer be for that one?
3:29:30
Or I I'm not the one that's the dumper type.
3:29:33
That's that's more Scoops is Department.
3:29:34
That actually is Scoops. Is the fathers?
3:29:37
I don't know. That's a pretty cool name.
3:29:40
We've heard a lot of cool names over the years in professional
3:29:43
sports, but the big dumper definitely stands out for all
3:29:46
the rest. So, I'll graded today. 98 plus
3:29:50
hey, I think the national League's got a better roster
3:29:53
personally. I'm just looking at it got a
3:29:56
whole bunch of Dodgers, right? At the top of that list.
3:29:57
We got Will Smith at catcher. Shohei ohtani dhing, Freddie
3:30:03
Freeman, at first base. Surprise is a nobody Ketel.
3:30:07
Marte has been you know been really good for a number of
3:30:11
years. He's been consistent, he's been
3:30:12
healthy. He had that weird thing that
3:30:14
Kyle Tucker. A future New York Yankees.
3:30:17
Oh yeah, well talk about her in a second.
3:30:19
Manny Machado just keeps doing it.
3:30:22
He's in his 30s. Now, still power, he's a guy
3:30:25
that when It's all said and done depending on how long he plays.
3:30:28
They may be talking about him as a Hall of Fame because there's a
3:30:30
whole Elite defense Elites Elite.
3:30:33
I don't know if he's a Hall of Famer.
3:30:34
It's interesting question, I think it's how many more years
3:30:37
does he have to do it to be a Hall of Famer as my question,
3:30:41
because if he can, I think it might be four or five years,
3:30:44
think he's 33. Can he get there?
3:30:48
Because that defense, especially when he was younger, I mean he
3:30:52
made plays nobody was making like he can get a guy out man.
3:30:57
I mean he used to be able to I've seen that I do some shit,
3:30:59
it's just crazy how good he is. It's when you put a short stop
3:31:03
at third and he's a whole family, he doesn't need to do
3:31:06
much, he has 355 home runs batting to 80 RBIs almost 1100,
3:31:11
stolen bases. I mean, slugging percentage.
3:31:14
He's he's all, he's a Hall of Fame I right now.
3:31:19
What's his War? You see.
3:31:21
His war is war. Career is 60.2.
3:31:26
That's he's gonna be in the Hall of Fame if he's over 60 already,
3:31:29
I would imagine they'll have a few more years.
3:31:31
They'll get to 70 Speedy. What's like that?
3:31:33
Cut off. For the Hall of Fame with War.
3:31:36
I actually, I know they usually I have to see the whole like
3:31:40
ever adjusted because I know it's different with the
3:31:43
different eras. So it says, the average Hall of
3:31:47
Famer gets between 50 and 70 war.
3:31:49
With the top Legends are like over 100.
3:31:53
So he's right on Pace, you're right because of that defense is
3:31:56
gonna get that war up there. That's the deal with him so
3:31:59
other guys, Kyle Tucker Pete, Crow Armstrong.
3:32:04
Former Mets Prospect Pete, Crow Armstrong is having one of the
3:32:09
best seasons. Nobody saw come and play in
3:32:12
center field was always great defender.
3:32:14
And now he's one of the top five hitters in baseball, playing in
3:32:18
front, of, I said, mentioned say a Suzuki.
3:32:20
I'm sure he'll be on the All-Star team eventually, but
3:32:24
Kyle Tucker having just an absurd contract season.
3:32:27
He's got 20 21, stolen bases after tonight and he's over 15
3:32:32
home orders. He's hidden for with average
3:32:34
power, lots of doubles Arrow. Where is that?
3:32:38
How much money is Kyle Tucker getting next year?
3:32:42
He's gonna get paid. Know, is he stuck?
3:32:48
All right. Oh no, I think the studio is
3:32:50
stuck again, boys. Oh, We lost the studio.
3:32:54
We're gonna keep going. They're probably gonna tell us
3:32:57
to stop at some point. We didn't stop.
3:33:00
We just kept going when they reset the internet.
3:33:02
Me and Jake did yesterday. All right well I'll Tucker's
3:33:05
legit. Maybe a future Yankee.
3:33:08
Good swing. We'll see what happens.
3:33:11
The Francisco Lindor. One of the best players in the
3:33:14
game of baseball Mr. Smiles crazy.
3:33:17
He's been there five times but this is the first time he's ever
3:33:19
started. That is interesting.
3:33:21
What was he behind that? He couldn't start over when he
3:33:24
was in Cleveland. OH, that's a good question.
3:33:28
I don't remember who the starting, shortstop was for them
3:33:31
and that All-Star games. But I do remember, he's really
3:33:35
2020s would have been. Yeah, 20, it would have been 20
3:33:39
17 20, 16, 17, 18, Yeah, let's who would that be and 19?
3:33:49
Let's see. I'll try to find it out real
3:33:52
quick. In real time, Carlos Correa.
3:33:56
That's right. But I didn't Xander Bogaerts.
3:34:00
Yeah, but Frankie Frankie's know, he's well, that's that's
3:34:07
where it comes with the stupid. Like okay, yeah, he's in
3:34:10
Cleveland and yeah, they're great fans.
3:34:11
But now you have a like a bigger Market with a Zander and stuff
3:34:15
like that. I mean, that's right.
3:34:16
I think the fan vote is, I think it should be flip-flopped.
3:34:20
I think the fan should do the reserves, the players should do
3:34:24
the starters. I think the player, I mean, I
3:34:27
like the fan boat because, you know, it's I like it, but I
3:34:30
think it's, I like it in the fact that it gets fans talking
3:34:33
about baseball and voting voting on The players but like some
3:34:38
guys that are in, it shouldn't be in it.
3:34:42
You know, in the crazy part this year, half of half of the
3:34:45
starters, this is their first time ever starting an All-Star
3:34:48
game. Yeah, well okay that's fine
3:34:51
that. Yeah, I mean that's crazy but at
3:34:53
the same time, There's guys that are hitting.
3:34:57
You know, 200, that'll be an all.
3:34:59
That was James would not even in a conversation.
3:35:01
Well, I think somebody has a cognia voted for.
3:35:06
This is the vote, right? So Acuna, look, you can't say
3:35:09
anything yet. He hasn't played the whole
3:35:11
season. Obviously, I don't know what the
3:35:12
criteria was for games to be voted in, but everyone knows the
3:35:16
season Queen. Yeah.
3:35:17
You don't you don't have you. There is no games.
3:35:19
There is a year. Omar and fonsi.
3:35:23
After the Royals won, he was hitting like 208 and he was
3:35:27
leading the All-Star vote yet. It's not real, like that's what
3:35:32
all sorts, it's whatever. It's just, it's like, dude, the
3:35:36
pictures. The pictures are more true
3:35:38
because the players vote for the pictures, you get a list that
3:35:41
comes out, your name is on the list and you bubble in the guys.
3:35:44
So you want and most of the time, like there's great middle
3:35:47
relievers, that don't become all stars because they don't have
3:35:50
the saves. So it'd be just it, obviously,
3:35:52
when you watch the All-Star Game, it goes, starting,
3:35:55
pitcher, starting, pitcher, starting to get, whatever.
3:35:56
And when they get to the bullpen at those guys actually want to
3:35:59
pitch that day. It's like closer closure,
3:36:01
closure closure, close. It very rarely.
3:36:03
Do you see like a setup guy make it with 40 holes or something?
3:36:07
Sucks. But I think that's more true.
3:36:12
So I want to talk about another guy.
3:36:14
We know is going to the Hall of Fame and Max Scherzer Scherzer
3:36:18
came back for the Blue Jays the other was that yesterday?
3:36:24
Five, five innings, seven, strikeouts, the Blue Jays, get
3:36:27
the win, they obviously, once tonight as well taken to the
3:36:29
Yankees. We're talking about the Yankees
3:36:32
in a second. I want to talk about Scherzer
3:36:34
first, just show you having this awesome 10 pitch at bat with
3:36:37
judge, eventually won this one against judge but you know it
3:36:44
you love watching. You know, the great battles in
3:36:48
baseball. Ensures are I guess he's 40
3:36:50
years old or almost 40 years old at this point.
3:36:52
He's definitely a Hall of Famer. He still looks like he's got it.
3:36:57
I think the better question is than like this battle.
3:37:00
It's how important is he going to be to the Blue Jays?
3:37:03
If they are going to make a run this year?
3:37:06
I mean Max's Max is a different dude.
3:37:08
I would play it against him and with him, you know, since since
3:37:13
college and There's nobody that puts in work like that guy.
3:37:18
He's he'll definitely put the work in and he has them
3:37:22
mentality. It may not be 99, but he's gonna
3:37:25
throw with conviction and and he's gonna go out and compete
3:37:28
his tail off. He he's fun to watch.
3:37:30
He He's a leader and in a lot of ways not so much the rush come
3:37:36
back. It's more of like about the way
3:37:38
he goes about his business and how he prepares.
3:37:40
And he was, he was a fun one to to have on your side that's for
3:37:45
sure. I watched him against Cleveland,
3:37:48
I don't know what was it. Thursday of last week.
3:37:52
I think it's Thursday. I think.
3:37:57
Yeah. Or or Wednesday.
3:38:00
I think I watched him at the tail and on Wednesday against
3:38:03
Cleveland. I mean a stuff is fine, it's not
3:38:06
whatever everybody sees now which is 99 to 100.
3:38:09
So like when you see a 93 mile an hour fastball now you're
3:38:12
like, oh that's kind of slow, you know, which is crazy, but he
3:38:15
went out, he pitched. Well, he had I think he had one
3:38:17
rough inning and still got through five or six Innings and
3:38:21
did find so. I mean when you're coming up as
3:38:24
a rookie and you you're watching a veteran, go about business
3:38:27
giving up a lot of runs early in the game and still being able to
3:38:29
go deep into the game. So that's a good example.
3:38:31
That's the tone and I think the Blue Jays took two out of three
3:38:36
from Cleveland. He's gonna be, he's a big part
3:38:41
of them and it's him. And Kevin Gossman, And found
3:38:44
Francis when he comes back will be fine.
3:38:46
So I was looking up what? I think it's fascinating.
3:38:50
The Yankees have one of the best run.
3:38:52
Differential Speedy, yet. I look up the stats, called
3:38:56
clutch now. And what they use is they use
3:38:58
WPA and a bunch of different measurements to figure out both
3:39:02
hitting and pitching not just hitting, but who are the best
3:39:06
and worst clutch teams in baseball.
3:39:09
It's a very fascinating statistic where where the maps
3:39:13
they're not very high either because they can't hit with
3:39:14
Runners and scoring position. Save their life.
3:39:16
I don't think they were super high, but the Yankees were
3:39:20
embarrassingly low. They were tied for third worst
3:39:24
in the clutch analytics. And it's like by a lot like
3:39:28
their, the, the three, those four teams that are at the
3:39:31
bottom. There are pretty far beets below
3:39:33
everybody. And it explains why the Yankees
3:39:35
are now. I don't even, are they 10 games
3:39:37
over or they nine games over 500?
3:39:39
Now yet, they have such a positive run, differential,
3:39:42
they're one of the worst clutch teams In baseball for years.
3:39:46
Analytical guys. Like you Speedy have told us
3:39:50
there's no momentum, there's no clutch.
3:39:52
Finally, a statistician came out with a clutch stat.
3:39:56
I want you to tell us a little bit about the stat and what this
3:39:59
means for the Yankees as well. Well, it means you have a lot of
3:40:02
guys that either do well, just leading off Innings, or you have
3:40:06
a lot of guys like Ariel saying with Cody Bellinger that a lot
3:40:08
of solo. Home runs, its circumstances are
3:40:11
going to be different with the clutch is obviously magnified
3:40:14
more in the playoffs as it is, then it is thrown a whole sample
3:40:18
in the regular season. So again if something that maybe
3:40:21
it could change, like Josh Towers was just saying
3:40:24
yesterday, like can it change our two weeks span to have just
3:40:28
hit for some guys? Another question because those
3:40:30
can be in a smaller sample, one of the more deceiving ones like
3:40:33
even when it comes to like Bullpen stats and certain types
3:40:36
of hitting stats, those could be deceiving in the playoffs,
3:40:39
Texas. Had the like one of the worst
3:40:41
Bullpen. They American League and made it
3:40:42
work in the postseason. When you look at the Clutch.
3:40:45
Stats of Like the Royals hitting wise, the way they did when they
3:40:49
beat the Mets like they're offense, wasn't like a raw like
3:40:52
offense on paper. Like all right, this is a good
3:40:55
offense. It's not like the Yankees, like
3:40:57
offensive their Peak type thing. So that's where I it's tough to
3:41:01
tell right now. But for the Yankees you got to
3:41:03
be a little concerned. Second half, good time.
3:41:06
To turn it around. Java.
3:41:08
How do you fix that? I mean, how do you fix not being
3:41:14
clutch? That's what happened.
3:41:16
If I knew I would I'd write a book and make it and it's just,
3:41:24
I think. Is I think you just have it or
3:41:28
you don't. I mean there's, there's guys
3:41:30
that you see that that step up that you least expected to, you
3:41:34
know, they're Obviously good. Some guys, just have it.
3:41:36
Some guys are able to slow the game down and not let it get too
3:41:40
big. Others, let the game get too
3:41:42
fast and passes them up, and they cancel the game down.
3:41:46
I mean it's everybody's different, everybody handles
3:41:48
that that Gene that clutch Gene differently.
3:41:52
Some people embrace it. Some people run from it, some
3:41:56
people are scared of it. It's just, it's hard to quantify
3:42:00
it and the only way you literally do qualify as by
3:42:03
numbers. But also, it's hard to quantify.
3:42:07
There is a gentleman and he's like, a super uber like
3:42:10
scientist guy. He we talked about this when we
3:42:13
were in college. That's how far ahead of like he
3:42:16
wanted to do this for like all of major sports.
3:42:19
Like, how can a quantify whether you Buckle under pressure, or
3:42:22
you have that clutch Gene, like he was working on it for like it
3:42:25
was like a thesis for his PhD and I just you can quantify it
3:42:30
by numbers, but you can't quantify by anything else.
3:42:32
You just the numbers kind of prove themselves over time.
3:42:36
About how about who's coming up and clutch situations the most
3:42:41
for the New York Yankees. You just put up a post about
3:42:45
Volpe leaving 149 runners in scoring position.
3:42:48
It's the same guy coming up with Runners and storm position and
3:42:52
not getting the job done. That's going to tank your clutch
3:42:55
analytic. if Aaron judge comes up with Runners and scoring
3:42:58
position, You know, more times than not that the Yankees are
3:43:03
probably not tied, third, worst and clutch analytics.
3:43:06
Right? And it's just, I mean,
3:43:07
sometimes, you know how that goes, it's like all right, this
3:43:10
dude's gonna get up, you know, it's gonna happen.
3:43:12
Something's got no judges, give me walked in those situations.
3:43:15
These days too. You see him getting lived?
3:43:17
Yes, you are good. I think it's just, it's gonna
3:43:19
eventually go against your clutch stats, because he's not
3:43:22
gonna be getting that you don't have a chance.
3:43:24
Yeah, right. But does that is a walk in a
3:43:27
clutch situation? I think it would be like the
3:43:30
same. Isn't it bad?
3:43:31
Where it wouldn't count but Speedy, you know, better than me
3:43:33
on that one. Irel I, I have a finger to point
3:43:36
on this one and to me team when I, I've had teams, you know,
3:43:41
just coaching different sports is in the youth levels.
3:43:45
Some of those teams don't run through a wall for their coach
3:43:47
and they'll work hard and they'll be extra focused because
3:43:51
of their coach. They're like.
3:43:54
Some, I feel like in baseball, you said a good, Terry Francona.
3:43:57
I think everyone's focused in that dugout, You get that
3:44:00
feeling when Mr? Bone, yes, I do.
3:44:02
I think the Yankees all the Yankees, love them.
3:44:05
You see him. Go out there, stick up for the
3:44:07
players. He's out there, screaming at the
3:44:09
umpires, he's behind the players.
3:44:11
I think every single one of the Yankees right now are behind
3:44:15
him, that's why he's still has a job.
3:44:16
But like I said, I told Speedy, if the Yankees, don't go to the
3:44:19
World Series this year, they're the best team besides Detroit,
3:44:22
they're the best team in the American League if they don't
3:44:25
win the division, and go to the world series.
3:44:27
I mean, it's a loss and I think Aaron Boone will be gone, no
3:44:31
matter what kind of extension he got, but the players believe in
3:44:34
our boom, I think Yankee fans hate on him because he hasn't
3:44:38
won anything and they love Joe Girardi.
3:44:40
But go look what Joe Girardi did.
3:44:42
When he left the Yankees, he did nothing and he doesn't even have
3:44:44
a job anymore. Works with the Yankees as a
3:44:46
broadcaster. It's yeah.
3:44:48
Love her hate relationship. Yeah, he has a job, but it's a
3:44:52
Love or hate relationship when it comes down and boom, I think
3:44:55
Karen Boone's a lot better than people say he is.
3:44:57
I it's just right now. These guys aren't hitting and,
3:45:01
and they're not a clutch team. They never work.
3:45:03
They haven't been clutch since the 90s on Lee.
3:45:06
That was the last time. The Yankees were so very clutch
3:45:09
when the Yankees won like four out of like, what was it?
3:45:12
Four out of like six or seven. I mean, like it's ridiculous
3:45:15
that we weren't clutching on nine.
3:45:17
We have 14 come from here. Walk off.
3:45:21
I am not saying from, from 96 to 2003, the only time the Yankees
3:45:27
weren't in the World, Series was 97 in 2002.
3:45:30
I think there were more clutch in the 90s and, and the early
3:45:33
2000, I'm not saying that the Yankees weren't clutched in
3:45:36
2009. It was just, I would have to
3:45:38
look at the stats for that Arrow, but I, I just don't get
3:45:41
that clutch feeling and I and I sometimes think like the really
3:45:45
good coaches that crap doesn't happen on their teams.
3:45:48
That's just just how I feel about it and I I really hope
3:45:53
they can turn it around. I think there's a couple of
3:45:55
holes on that line up, particularly in the infield, on
3:45:59
the left side, that need to be figured out, not give away names
3:46:03
but also give them away at same time, but we got another team in
3:46:07
New York. They did just win.
3:46:08
So this number is wrong, but the Mets are now four and fourteen
3:46:13
cares. Since June actually says 17 June
3:46:16
14th. They're pitching is falling
3:46:19
apart. They're in having Injuries.
3:46:22
They're not scoring runs Soto's hitting 2508 done deal.
3:46:26
Well, he got hot with nobody else did.
3:46:28
Right? What is he right now?
3:46:31
Well, he was hitting like, 220 for a while, and now he's up to
3:46:34
the height 250s. Look, he's not a 300 hitter
3:46:37
Soto, but he's gonna be there. Yeah, he's, that's that's fine.
3:46:40
765 million days. 257, that's, that's fine.
3:46:47
I guess we'll start with the Mets fan speedy.
3:46:50
Is, is this? Because I thought it was Fool's,
3:46:53
Gold, all along with the Mets rotation.
3:46:54
I didn't expect it to fall apart like this.
3:46:57
All right. I don't think it's completely
3:46:59
irredeemable but it's certainly not a good look heading into the
3:47:02
All-Star break. There was gonna be some
3:47:04
regression at some point. I was just hoping it would never
3:47:06
fall to this level when you're allowing nine runs to the
3:47:09
Pirates and getting swept by the Pirates.
3:47:11
You gotta be really good at that point to get anything work.
3:47:14
Where you need not won the meet two arms, sanghas injury since
3:47:17
then really. Is that damage the whole
3:47:19
rotation. David Peterson's looked good.
3:47:21
But even he started to regress, and like you said, three
3:47:24
different Bullpen injuries is definitely concerning and then
3:47:26
the young hitters they're not hitting.
3:47:27
We talked about it. Last week Vientos baby all
3:47:30
falling apart all at once. It's not the veteran hitter,
3:47:31
it's really everyone else. Yeah, I mean what happens like,
3:47:37
when you're in a competitive division, this is the one of the
3:47:39
most competitive Vision. The Marlins are ahead of the
3:47:42
Brave's. The Braves have had the year
3:47:44
from hell with injuries, So the Mets are sitting having to deal
3:47:48
with these other two. Powerhouses We got the Phillies,
3:47:52
just got Bryce Harper back. Got hit in the face in his first
3:47:55
game back. I'll show you that in a little
3:47:56
bit. Did come out of his hand and hit
3:47:59
him in the face. Not good luck for that guy.
3:48:01
This year. But they're getting healthy the
3:48:03
Phillies. And we know the other team.
3:48:06
So how are they gonna get past these these other two teams and
3:48:11
their division, are they going to be able to be a playoff team?
3:48:14
They're in a lot of trouble. Yeah.
3:48:16
There's sitting pretty but yeah, it's a lot of extremes when he
3:48:20
comes to the Mets when it comes to their Bullpen.
3:48:22
Went from top five in baseball, to bottom, not in 20th at the
3:48:27
starting rotation. They're just not getting enough
3:48:28
length and like you said there's a lot of competition in the
3:48:31
National League depthwise that you didn't expect to get at the
3:48:35
beginning of the year and now west I think is specialty.
3:48:37
You're getting a lot of that the Diamondbacks are still hanging
3:48:39
tough you gonna miss all the injuries they've had with Corbin
3:48:41
Carroll. Now obviously Corbin Burnes
3:48:42
being lost for the year and I don't Central is getting a
3:48:45
little more depth wise too besides the Pirates really
3:48:47
everyone else is there? Look there's four teams I'm
3:48:50
counting and and you tell me Earl, which is the odd team out
3:48:54
of these four Padres Giants. Mets.
3:49:00
Phillies. It's not going to be fairly
3:49:03
easy. I think the metal figure things
3:49:05
out. I don't think there is bad as
3:49:07
their playing right now. One of those teams won't make
3:49:09
it. Ah, which team I'm gonna say
3:49:11
Padres. It's Okay.
3:49:15
All right, fair enough. What do you boys?
3:49:16
Think the Mets have enough juice to make it.
3:49:20
The way they're sitting right now, they're gonna have to make
3:49:21
a move. Remember there's a lot of
3:49:23
baseball left. I mean, well, I know, but we're
3:49:25
at the halfway point of the schedule right now, right?
3:49:28
So it's in the trade deadline's coming up, I'm sure we'll be
3:49:31
talking trade deadline in the feet in a couple weeks all day,
3:49:34
right? And in the Mets are gonna be in
3:49:37
that position. Where do they go?
3:49:39
All in Uncle, Stevie likes to spend money.
3:49:41
We know Uncle Steve's going to open the pocketbooks.
3:49:45
But who, what do they need to me?
3:49:47
It's an arm. I they definitely need a front
3:49:50
of the line, they don't have one.
3:49:52
They've been piecing it together for two years with God.
3:49:55
I mean last year is with Quintana piece, you know what I
3:49:58
mean? Like the guys, they added
3:49:59
Montez, why don't we reach out to Nik Goodie and get him a year
3:50:03
or two year contract and and bring Java back and then Mets
3:50:07
get their arms that they need in their Bullpen.
3:50:09
There you go game over on to the next another job was implying he
3:50:13
would never pitch for the mass. That's what you got.
3:50:15
Money answer. Get these two guys, you know,
3:50:17
get them back in the league and have them a fill in some Bullpen
3:50:22
role and I think we'll be in good shape.
3:50:24
I mean the Mets will be in good shape because no matter what the
3:50:27
Mets do they're just their heads so far up their asses right now.
3:50:30
Let's go on to the next one. I've been to a lot of baseball
3:50:35
games. I was at one this weekend job I
3:50:39
I saw a guy in a Java, Chamberlain Jersey, took a
3:50:42
picture sent it out to everybody.
3:50:44
We got that guy. A drink took a picture of it.
3:50:47
I'll post a picture in a little bit.
3:50:48
I can figure out how to but there's a big fan, and I've
3:50:55
never seen. Fans other than in the World
3:50:59
Series, those two guys with Mookie Betts.
3:51:01
Just want to interfere with games, let alone in the regular
3:51:05
season. Apparently there's been a fan
3:51:08
that the Diamondbacks have that routinely Gets in trouble for
3:51:13
interfering in games like he's just always sitting by the wall
3:51:17
and he's always interfering like it's not been once it's been a
3:51:22
handful of times so they did this yesterday fish he admitted
3:51:27
he got he's already been ejected twice like this a bunch of
3:51:31
times. So I mean I didn't realize you
3:51:35
guys covered this already but look, I gotta mention it.
3:51:37
It's one of the crazier fan things I've seen is there.
3:51:41
He guys have any stories from from your playing days of just
3:51:45
weird? Weird crap fans did to interfere
3:51:49
or try to interfere because I didn't I never done anything
3:51:51
like that. All the home runs.
3:51:54
Zack hample Yeah, I met him a couple times actually I got I
3:51:59
used to know, I'm a first name basis and yes, he caught all the
3:52:02
home. Runs that every game.
3:52:03
That any any homework? I remember him in Baltimore.
3:52:06
I remember him in Yankee Stadium.
3:52:07
Remember he caught a homer in Cleveland?
3:52:09
He likes but he likes studies where they're like home runs and
3:52:13
everything goes like is he has like a method to his Madness.
3:52:16
Yes. And he has a, he did somebody
3:52:20
Sports Illustrated or somebody did an article on him like, had
3:52:25
all the baseballs that oh he, he tasted himself.
3:52:28
Yes. Hey, listen, he's like that kind
3:52:33
of, he's there. All right.
3:52:36
Let's mine was a Streaker that tastes himself.
3:52:41
Oh, that's disgusting. Way to go about life.
3:52:47
I have tasted myself before, yes.
3:52:50
All right, let's get finished. Let's finish this up with the
3:52:53
injury report. Spencer schwellenbach out of
3:52:56
nowhere. Had a 12 strikeout game last
3:52:58
game out. Fractured his elbow, he's
3:53:02
probably not coming back. I was like fantasy Jam this
3:53:04
year. I want you to, I mean, he's been
3:53:06
great. He's been Ace Worthy on a staff
3:53:09
with a bunch of Aces on it, that just couldn't be healthy.
3:53:12
All year Striders rounding into form.
3:53:15
Now, they lost swelling, Bob, it's it's a shame, you know,
3:53:18
they got sale sales on young guy.
3:53:22
They just they just transferred sale to the 60-day.
3:53:24
Yeah, he's got like, what are they gonna do?
3:53:28
What are they gonna do? They're gonna go.
3:53:30
It feels like it's time to punt. Are they going to be sellers?
3:53:35
At the deadline, they're not a typical team that ever sells
3:53:38
they, but they get all their guys for long-term deals.
3:53:42
So who do they even have that they might sell?
3:53:45
That's what's tough with them because they're never been in
3:53:47
that position. They haven't had to be there.
3:53:49
Such a stable organization and like, Java you've mentioned it's
3:53:52
like, why aren't more teams doing what they're doing?
3:53:54
But at the same time when they're either, the guys are
3:53:57
hurt, maybe it makes the contracts lesson.
3:53:59
Well here's here's a little of the downfall of that because
3:54:02
you're kind of yeah. Now you're kind of stuck dealing
3:54:04
with an injuries happen but now just kind of piles up and that's
3:54:07
like, what do you give away at this point?
3:54:11
Yeah, it's it's tough to say just looking at their their
3:54:13
lineup. I mean, I guess marcelo's unas
3:54:16
like they you know the guy that if you can move them you do
3:54:19
please. You know.
3:54:22
He's he's been he's a little banged up though, you know?
3:54:25
He's a great player, he's a great hitter when he's healthy.
3:54:27
He has been healthy this year as in very well and over a month.
3:54:32
So I don't know if that's the guy, but everyone else that on
3:54:35
their roster is pretty much locked up long term.
3:54:38
So I guess that's the one guy that might get moved.
3:54:40
You're on Alvarez. Has another setback on his
3:54:45
broken hand. Houston has great pitching.
3:54:48
We know he's got great pitching. They got framber, Valdez.
3:54:52
It was one of the best pictures in baseball in the last five
3:54:55
years. Hunter Brown is a Cy Young
3:54:59
Contender this year. If it wasn't for school bull,
3:55:02
And maybe crochet, he's the best pitcher in the AL, he's
3:55:05
definitely top three right now. Maybe top two.
3:55:10
But Houston doesn't, they just lost Jeremy Pena as well.
3:55:15
With a broken rib or rib cartilage, or one of those types
3:55:18
of things where he's going to be out probably a month.
3:55:21
They're in a lot of trouble because that's their offense.
3:55:24
Alvarez is their power hitter. He's their DH power hitter.
3:55:28
You can't hit for power. If you got a broken hand man you
3:55:31
just can't he tried to play through it.
3:55:34
They missed diagnosed it. They're in trouble.
3:55:37
I don't know what Houston does so I wanted to start off with
3:55:40
arrow earlier two, your team has your two best hitters injured.
3:55:46
What do you do with this? Trade deadline?
3:55:48
They're gonna make your trade but Alvarez will be back if I
3:55:51
were at the Astros. They don't think so.
3:55:54
I think he might not be back now, he'll be back this season.
3:55:57
He might be back at the end of the season.
3:55:59
Save them for the playoffs. Make sure he's 100% healthy and
3:56:02
have it make a run there. There's quite a few other
3:56:06
players that are going to be available at the trade deadline,
3:56:08
that teams are going to want to throw out there.
3:56:10
They got a good farm system, I think they're a top eight farm
3:56:12
system. Still they have pieces, they can
3:56:15
move pieces to bring players in to fill in those spots.
3:56:18
That's where I go. I'm not gonna worry about
3:56:20
Alvarez for the regular season. I want, I'm more worried about
3:56:24
getting him back for the playoffs.
3:56:25
That's where I would go. If I was the end, Java and Nick,
3:56:30
you know, a guy's got a bad hand, you're throwing up and in
3:56:34
or inside corner. All, I'm staying at his hands
3:56:38
all day, all day, right? Yeah, 100% like especially with
3:56:43
the guy like that. Anyways, that's what you're
3:56:44
gonna do because you know, you don't want him to get his arms
3:56:46
extended but yeah, if you know that I mean it's just you're
3:56:50
gonna try and pound them in as much as you can.
3:56:52
Because he's gonna be has its in any way.
3:56:54
So he's probably gonna try and cheat a little bit because he
3:56:56
knows that's gonna happen. So you're able to get away with
3:56:59
a little bit more stuff and that's where it's like, okay
3:57:01
pound them in pound them in. If you see its front side leak
3:57:03
and a little bit to try to cheat.
3:57:04
So he doesn't get jammed. Then you can go away and he
3:57:07
can't get to because he's trying to cheat to catch the inner
3:57:09
third. So that's just the game he
3:57:11
played with him. Speedy, if I ask you who the top
3:57:15
three players in war were this season as of like four or five
3:57:20
days ago? You would tell me Aaron judge.
3:57:23
and you'd probably tell me the big dumper Cal, Raleigh because
3:57:26
we've talked about on the show before, but the third guy, who
3:57:32
would you say? I think you're, I guess you're
3:57:34
leading at the fact that it's painting.
3:57:36
It is it was you know it's a cumulus that so you probably got
3:57:40
passed since I know that but when he was hurt when he got
3:57:44
hurt me you was third in Major League Baseball and War.
3:57:49
Overall checks ahead of PCA Armstrong ahead of show.
3:57:57
Hey, ohtani ahead of Bobby Witt, Junior.
3:58:02
Where did this season come from Speedy?
3:58:04
Because he started wearing them tight pants.
3:58:06
I don't know enough about the lady judge that.
3:58:12
But yeah, it's somebody you expected to take another step in
3:58:15
breaking news. Smell.
3:58:17
My ass was the biggest thing with him because he was always a
3:58:19
well-rounded player. He broke out in the playoffs in
3:58:22
the year they lost to the Braves in the World Series and then I
3:58:25
believe won the MVP the next year.
3:58:26
So like the hitting was always there at Spurs, but never for a
3:58:30
full season now it's there for a full season with the power.
3:58:32
That's the thing that concerned me was the lack of lineup depth,
3:58:34
though. You were talking about at the
3:58:35
start of the Year where they might win the division.
3:58:37
Fine. But are they gonna actually be a
3:58:39
force in the playoffs to get to work?
3:58:41
But like the Braves, they always been that well-oiled system that
3:58:44
they get, it's better if they go away from their trends.
3:58:47
Duty Dodger. Well, we will talk about
3:58:52
different Dodgers next time. When we come back and go inside
3:58:56
baseball, well, there's not going to be any OLX tonight
3:58:59
because it's the show is gone and gone and gone.
3:59:02
So we'll do analytics next week. I have a pretty good word, a
3:59:06
pretty good stomper for the dumper himself, Mr. Speedy
3:59:11
powder always going to come on and play analytics.
3:59:13
Know, it'll be you. But again, we didn't have any
3:59:17
guests on tonight. We had a lot of content.
3:59:18
I hope everybody enjoyed it. We will be back on Monday.
3:59:22
Next week, we will be doing Monday and Thursday next week.
3:59:24
After next week, we will be moving to Wednesdays, so it'll
3:59:30
be Monday and Wednesdays for all the fans out there tuning in and
3:59:33
that will stay like that moving forward into the NFL season, so
3:59:37
stay tuned for that. I like to thank all the fans on
