- 4:33I don't know if anybody checked out the Grammys last night.
- 4:37Because if you did, it was selfish and disrespectful
- 4:41because to me I'm a music guy, I'm a DJ on the other side of
- 4:46what I do when it comes to radio and broadcasting and sports, I
- 4:50do music. And the Grammys is supposed to
- 4:52be Form. Music, not political thoughts or
- 4:57personality, you know, traits brought out in a way where it
- 5:02would piss people off and pretty much every single person, every
- 5:06single artist that went up on one of an award.
- 5:09There were speaking about our country, speaking about
- 5:12politics, Republican Democratic I, I could care less what your
- 5:18political views are. We're there and as a fan of
- 5:22music and in the biggest time for the music industry, is the
- 5:26watch, the Grammys, all I want to do is listen to the awards
- 5:30and listen to the music. I don't want to hear your
- 5:32political views. So shame on the Grammy
- 5:35committee. For allowing these people,
- 5:38including Noah, he was the personality, he was the host of
- 5:41the Grammys. He's been the host of the
- 5:43Grammys for the last five years. It was horrible.
- 5:46That the Grammys allowed these guys or these ladies to go up
- 5:51there and, and give your political views, I say this
- 5:54about athletes all the time, too.
- 5:55Yeah, over the years, you had LeBron James, open his mouth
- 5:58during on and off the courts talking about his political
- 6:01views, Kyrie Irving with his anti-semitic views.
- 6:05And we've heard Kawhi Leonard, we've heard Kevin Durant over
- 6:08the years, a lot of these different guys and one of them
- 6:13that has been attacked many, many times in speed.
- 6:15You know, I'm talking about, he was a football player that was
- 6:18kneeling. Cabernet.
- 6:20Holly Kaepernick. Who.
- 6:23Got attacked by political views and I'm not saying Colin
- 6:27Kaepernick was right. Anybody that goes down on his
- 6:30knees to the national anthem is disrespectful but even though a
- 6:34lot of people believe that he wasn't trying to disrespect the
- 6:36flag when you go on your hands and knees and you you're pretty
- 6:40much not respecting our national anthem, just supposed to stand,
- 6:43take your hat off and salute our country you live in our country.
- 6:48You support our country, that's the whole point.
- 6:51I don't want to hear about political views, you don't
- 6:53never. You guys never hear me on this
- 6:56show. Ever quote, my political views
- 6:59because I don't want to piss anybody off.
- 7:01It's a sports radio show. I don't want to hear it.
- 7:05So what I watched on a Grammys last night was absolutely
- 7:08nonsense. I don't want to hear it.
- 7:10I don't care what they think about our president.
- 7:13I don't care what they think about our country right now.
- 7:16All I think. And all I care about is you want
- 7:19to talk about God? Talk about God.
- 7:20And by the way, congratulations to All the artists that won a
- 7:27jelly. Roll is jelly, roll is one of my
- 7:29favorites? Very well deserved.
- 7:31I love the guy. I love his music.
- 7:33I love the back. End of his story that he was
- 7:35once in jail and, and to get out and, and, and to accomplish all
- 7:39the things that he has done over the last couple of years, is is
- 7:42pretty incredible. So congratulations to jelly
- 7:45roll. And even his speech, after after
- 7:47the fact, he was speaking about God, he didn't even want to talk
- 7:50about anybody's politic or politician, thoughts or even
- 7:55political views. So, it just gives me an
- 7:58understanding of who, and what these personalities.
- 8:01These different people out there are willing to go out of their
- 8:05way, to attack or destruct, what our country really is.
- 8:10And that's all I'm gonna say. I just wanted to make that be
- 8:14known on this show that I just didn't like, how the Grammy
- 8:17committee allowed this. And honestly, if you can't go
- 8:20into an award show, And enjoy it strictly just because of the
- 8:25music and you're going to go offset and talk about something
- 8:28and nothing to do with the the organization of the Grammys or
- 8:33the award show, then it shouldn't be spoken about.
- 8:36I don't want to hear it. And I was really, really upset
- 8:39after the fact. So I just wanted to make that
- 8:42Mark and clear. It clear everything clear, my
- 8:46thoughts on all of that. This is a platform that I
- 8:49respect and I want all the fans to understand that I want I want
- 8:53every single fan to understand how I feel about the way our
- 8:57country is being pushed around and people in our country are
- 9:01throwing people under the bus. When I honestly don't want to
- 9:04hear it. I don't watch political, you
- 9:07know, thoughts and and watch political shows because I have
- 9:10no interest there you are. There's nothing.
- 9:12And is that your door whose birthday is it?
- 9:15Oh man. Nothing is a one and that ugly,
- 9:20ugly jacket by the way. They ugly Blue Jacket.
- 9:22Ah, anyways, I got a chance over the weekend.
- 9:25I picked up my shoots, my custom suits.
- 9:28I get him every other year. I ordered two to three custom
- 9:31suits, so I ordered them in November and I finally got him.
- 9:35So Jabba came out for the Pinstripe signings and doing
- 9:40something with Barstool. So I got a chance to meet up
- 9:43with job at American whiskey his restaurant.
- 9:45I first time we ever met. It's pretty cool.
- 9:47And I brought two on my friends and he was like this is the
- 9:50first time you guys. It's like you guys are like
- 9:53brothers and one of my friends actually said it was like, you
- 9:56guys knew each other for a long time because it was like it was
- 9:59it wasn't like the first time. And I told job a couple of weeks
- 10:02ago when we were speaking on a fun it's like you're like my
- 10:05digital pen pal. That's what you are because I've
- 10:08never met you and it's funny because I got a chance to meet
- 10:12him and it was really cool to to get to meet somebody that you've
- 10:15been working with for over a year and really never got a
- 10:17chance to chat in person and much more.
- 10:20We're gonna have much more opportunities to meet and and
- 10:24talk and and eventually accomplish what our goals are
- 10:26set. And that's to be the biggest
- 10:28talk show radio and television show in the country which one
- 10:31away. Because, ladies and gentlemen,
- 10:34over the weekend, we were at a highest point.
- 10:36We hit It in seventh on the list for Spotify and apple what that
- 10:42means out of two and a half million shows under football,
- 10:46which is the most in sports. We are ranked at a, We Were A
- 10:50ranked at 107 and now today I think we were at 154 157 so it
- 10:55fluctuates but we're gonna get in the top 100.
- 10:57I do believe that and it has a lot to do with you guys.
- 11:00All the fans out there that tune in to our show Speedy doing the
- 11:04back end doing all the cuts fish, creating all the graphics
- 11:07and all the work that he puts into on the back end and you
- 11:10Tommy with the board and, and all the work that you do with
- 11:13the sounds and everything and all of our interns that we've
- 11:16had and even if he's a pain in the ass, awesome, I got to give
- 11:19him a little bit of credit. So I it was a crazy weekend for
- 11:22me and happy to be here. I'm going to entertain you guys
- 11:26tonight because there's a lot to get into and I am going to go
- 11:28off the cuff with a lot of these things.
- 11:31As I always do a little bit later in the show, ladies and
- 11:35gentlemen at 9:30, we will be talking to former New York Jets
- 11:38defensive and Quinton Copley who's been on our show before we
- 11:42actually made a bet. The last time he came on the
- 11:44show, we made a bet about you know, the gremlin.
- 11:47I said that the gremlin will not break, if I'm not mistaken, I
- 11:51don't think he gets more than a touchdown this year.
- 11:54What was the best interception? He wasn't gonna get an
- 11:56interception interception this year.
- 11:57That's right. And, and he didn't get an
- 11:59interception, he had one touchdown, and I think it was,
- 12:01if I'm not mistaken 400 and something yards in 10 games, but
- 12:05I don't have the number, I'll look it up before we get
- 12:07quitting on the show. But he I got a bone to pick with
- 12:10him because when he gets here and he comes to New York, he's
- 12:13got to take all of us to a state dinner so that was the BET and
- 12:17that's what he is going to live by and die anyways.
- 12:21Raiders hire klint Kubiak and the Cardinals higher.
- 12:25Mike LaFleur. ESPN's Adam schefter reported
- 12:28over the weekend at the Las Vegas.
- 12:30Raiders are expected to hire Seattle, Seahawks offensive,
- 12:33coordinator Clayton. Kubiak As their next head coach,
- 12:38the move is unlikely to be made official until after the Super
- 12:43Bowl this Sunday under Kubiak the Seattle Seahawks offense was
- 12:47excellent, this season and was ranked second overall by Pro
- 12:52Football Focus. They finished in the top 10 of
- 12:56most offensive metrics. Klint Kubiak is the son of
- 13:01former Super Bowl champion coach, Gary Kubiak and has been
- 13:05a coordinator from 2019 to 2021 for the Vikings Broncos. 49ers
- 13:11Saints. And this year with the Seattle
- 13:14Seahawks the Raiders interview, 15 different.
- 13:17It goes this cycle and Reports say that Tom Brady was very
- 13:22involved in the decision-making. Well now to hire Kubiak shefner
- 13:27also reported that the Arizona Cardinals have hired Rams,
- 13:30offensive coordinator, Mike, LaFleur as their next head coach
- 13:34Reports say that the Cardinals were set.
- 13:36To have another interview with Clinton, Kubiak on Saturday, but
- 13:41pivoted to leflore, after learning Kubiak was likely to
- 13:46take the Raiders job. The Rams had the top offense in
- 13:51the League last year, under LaFleur in most major
- 13:55categories, including total yards, passing yards, first
- 13:58downs, and points per game. Let's get into klint Kubiak
- 14:02first and I think Clint koopy Act is been one of the best
- 14:06young offensive coordinators in the NFL.
- 14:08Getting a chance to work with Sam Donald this year and
- 14:11developing a help develop Sam Donald.
- 14:14And then bringing this offense together, had his best season as
- 14:19a starting wide receiver. As we saw this year, he was the
- 14:22second best wide receiver. I think right behind the nasty,
- 14:25man himself over there with the Rams.
- 14:27It's seems like now that the season is over.
- 14:29You have Pocono reaching out to every single woman.
- 14:32I mean, he has been on every single tweet reaching out.
- 14:36To move. You starts actresses musicians.
- 14:41I mean every single hot country singer.
- 14:43I see, Pocono liking everything, so pookas out on the prowl, but
- 14:48one of the best young wide receivers in illegal as well but
- 14:51Clint, Kubiak has been since National all season long and a
- 14:55lot of people believe he was going to get an opportunity to
- 14:57interview for some of these jobs but they were a lot of good
- 15:00coaches available this off season even Mike Tomlin who
- 15:03didn't land a job yet? And I think Mike Tomlin will sit
- 15:05out this year get a chance to be a broadcaster and analyst for a
- 15:11year. He's going to make about five to
- 15:12be between five and ten million dollars with Fox.
- 15:15And then he could decide if he wants to take a job next year.
- 15:18The Buffalo Bills, they just started to part ways with him.
- 15:21There was a chance to bring in one of these guys but they
- 15:24decided with the thought of seeing the situation for what it
- 15:27was. You look at the position that
- 15:29cleanup brings to the table, one and experienced guy under his
- 15:34father, Gary Cooper is one of the best Offensive Minds in the
- 15:37NFL and has been over the years. Won a Super Bowl with the
- 15:41Broncos. Has been a part of many
- 15:43championship competitive teams and Gary has two sons that are
- 15:47going to be coaches. In the NFL one way or another
- 15:50klint Kubiak is the first and I think Clint Kubiak is an
- 15:54interesting personality one. He doesn't speak much.
- 15:56How many times have you heard klint Kubiak speak to the press
- 15:59speak to the media? You don't really see it.
- 16:01A lot and Gary, Kubiak wasn't one to speak to the media
- 16:05either. He wasn't a guy that was
- 16:07outlandishly crazy when he was speaking to the media.
- 16:10He also stepped back and not throw any of his his team or his
- 16:14players under the bus. One of the reasons why Peyton
- 16:18Manning decided to go and play for the Broncos was Gary Kubiak
- 16:21Gary, Kubiak was a guy that was a structural type of offense of
- 16:26mind. And if you look at guys like
- 16:28Sean, Payton, or Andy Reid Gary Kubiak, is that kind of
- 16:33offensive coin nater, one thing that Gary, Cooper was most known
- 16:37for is running game. His running games, were Elite
- 16:40every time, he coached even with the Broncos, he always had a
- 16:44good running game and I think that's something that Clint
- 16:47Kubiak had this year with Walker charbonnet.
- 16:50These two guys were in Elite. Tandem now Vegas we've
- 16:55interviewed one of them Chris Collier.
- 16:56He's a third string running back and we'll see if he has a lot
- 17:00of. He gets a chance to play this
- 17:01year with the Raiders. If he makes the team and I think
- 17:04he will and I love Chris Colour. So I wish nothing but the best
- 17:07but you have a guy like, Gente prolific offensive, towergate,
- 17:11and a guy that you can use in many different ways and his son,
- 17:13his style of offense that a guy like poopy is going to use.
- 17:16And I don't know if most dirt will come back, he was a veteran
- 17:19guy that helped in the lock around and helped doing this
- 17:22running background. I think when you look at the
- 17:24position that the Vegas Raiders are in, they got the number one
- 17:28pick, they needed to bring an offensive mind in and those are
- 17:31is going to be number one. You heard it from Chris Collier
- 17:35last week. He didn't want to say it.
- 17:37He's not the GM. He's not The coach, so he's not
- 17:40going to say it. But everybody over there and
- 17:42Raider, Ville knows where they're going.
- 17:44They're going with Fernando men. Those are he will be the number
- 17:47one pick in this year's coming draft and you have to bring in
- 17:50and offensive. Minded coach a young offensive
- 17:53mine that can develop a guy like Mentos are everywhere.
- 17:56A man do so went it, took time for him to develop even in
- 18:01college. He went to Cal He jumped ship
- 18:04from one team to another before he he got a chance to go to
- 18:07Indiana and actually be coached by a genius of an offensive mind
- 18:11and defensive mind and a coach of the year.
- 18:14As he always has been over the last two seasons in a row, you
- 18:18need a competent guy. That is going to be able to
- 18:21coach a Young quarterback and Clint Kubiak proved that this
- 18:24year. Sam Donald had a great year last
- 18:26year in Minnesota, but fell short in the playoffs didn't
- 18:29play well in the playoffs. And even this year there was ups
- 18:32and downs against the Rams, but when the game wasn't important
- 18:36and Sam needed to make plays clink copiaque, put him in the
- 18:39best position to succeed. And I think that the one thing,
- 18:43the Raiders have had problems with over the years is putting
- 18:45the right coach in the right position with the right players
- 18:48to succeed when they brought in Josh McDaniels Josh, McDaniels
- 18:53was a great offensive mind, a guy that helped the Patriots win
- 18:57multiple Super Bowls. He was the backbone of Bill
- 19:01Belichick's offense. When he went over there to the
- 19:03Raiders, he had a chance to take the Indianapolis Colts job.
- 19:06He turned that down to go back to the Patriots, to eventually
- 19:10take Las Vegas's position because he had more pull more
- 19:13opportunity to succeed after John Gruen and got fired.
- 19:16And I think that Josh McDaniels time over there with the Raiders
- 19:20was short, because of the opportunities that he had to
- 19:26bring in the players that he wanted to fit roles that didn't
- 19:29work over there in Vegas, is still a new stadium, a new place
- 19:34for football. And I think bringing in a young
- 19:37competent unique individual, like, Clint Kobe act, a guy that
- 19:42is very well respected around the league.
- 19:44Jon Gruden said that the clinky ACT is one of the best young
- 19:47offensive Minds in the NFL right now.
- 19:49We've heard Sean. Can come out and speak very
- 19:52highly of Clint Kubiak. Sean McVeigh was.
- 19:55Another one that I was reading today that said a lot of high,
- 19:59praise to Clint, Kubiak klint Kubiak been around for a long,
- 20:02long time around his father around his brother, two guys
- 20:04that have slowly but surely became names.
- 20:08Gary Kubiak is not coaching anymore.
- 20:09As a matter of fact, I think he was if it wasn't this year was
- 20:13he a part of the Seattle? Seattle Seahawks or he was a
- 20:16consultant? I think with the Broncos for
- 20:18something, I don't think it was this year.
- 20:20I think it was last year but Gary, Gary Kubiak got heart
- 20:23issues, yeah, health issues and he decided to step away after,
- 20:27you know, a couple years after he won the Super Bowl with the
- 20:30Bronco. He had health issues in Houston.
- 20:32That's why I had to leave their before, he went to the Broncos.
- 20:34Yeah. Clean koopy Act, is a different
- 20:36personality and understanding personality that I think
- 20:38bringing him here to a Raiders organization as a lot of
- 20:42interesting personalities behind the scene, like Davis.
- 20:45And even over the years, the different GMS that they've had,
- 20:48they different players that they brought in that haven't worked.
- 20:51I'm interested to see if Crosby is going to ask for a trade
- 20:54sometime this offseason, after what they did to get that number
- 20:57one pick and they have no wide receivers.
- 21:00And that that's why I think Clint Kubiak is going.
- 21:03First of all, the Raiders, I wanted a top three teams when it
- 21:06comes to salaries. I think they're number two in
- 21:08the league with open opportunities to land, free
- 21:11agents. And and now with Clint Kubiak
- 21:14over there and some of the players that have played for him
- 21:16or know him are gonna want to come over here to play for klint
- 21:19Kubiak one. He's going to give them an
- 21:21opportunity to succeed over there with the Raiders and two.
- 21:24He's a guy that you can trust as an offensive mind and a leader
- 21:29as we've seen. How how good that Seattle locker
- 21:32room has been all season long? It's not all about McDonald's.
- 21:35Everybody wants to give Mike McDonald a lot of credit for
- 21:38that. It was just coordinators every
- 21:40single guy. All it is so coaching staff.
- 21:42They have been successful all season long because of the way
- 21:45they've coached these guys up, look at the talent that they
- 21:48have, even with the time that you had, And I guys very well
- 21:53respected. Guys.
- 21:53Like Pete, Carroll Pete Carroll is a very well-respected coach.
- 21:57In the NFL successful, won a Super Bowl.
- 22:00Has won national championships. I, I think the, the
- 22:04understanding was, is that a lot of these players didn't, like,
- 22:07Pete Carroll at the end of his time over there with Seattle, he
- 22:10had no control over Russell Wilson.
- 22:12He had no control over certain players on the defensive side of
- 22:15the ball, as the defensive side, and the offensive side, could
- 22:18not get along in the locker room.
- 22:19As we heard, Richard Sherman come out and say, on his podcast
- 22:22that there were a lot of disliked people in that locker
- 22:26room. It's not like that with Mike
- 22:28McDonald. Just a matter of fact, when they
- 22:29they won the conference and they won the NFC, they were dancing
- 22:34and prancing around like they won the Super Bowl and a lot of
- 22:36different teams that walked in San Francisco watching their
- 22:39dancing and prancing. They used that as stuff to
- 22:43really push them to knock them off.
- 22:45What would be the word for that? Gave him a boost.
- 22:48I don't even say boost. Gave him the confidence.
- 22:51To go out there and try to knock them off.
- 22:53But Seattle to me is success of Seattle, this year was Sam,
- 22:57Donald. It was really Redeveloping and
- 23:00really putting them in the position to succeed and Mike
- 23:03McDonald just a defensive coordinator.
- 23:04So when you go back and you look at what Seattle's offense was
- 23:08this year, which was absolutely unbelievable.
- 23:10One of the top five teams metrically in all statistics
- 23:14offensively, you know, it wasn't because of Mike McDonald who's
- 23:17all about kinkoo. And that's why when you sit back
- 23:21and you understand what it takes to win in the NFL, it takes a
- 23:25lot. It takes everything.
- 23:26It's like this when you're trying to ride a wave.
- 23:30Surfing is one of the hardest things to do.
- 23:32It's one of the hardest thing and anybody try to Surf.
- 23:35If you have, you have it. The first thing you'll learn is
- 23:39balance technique. If you don't have the right
- 23:42balance, when you getting up on the board, you're gonna fall
- 23:44right off of it. You have to understand the
- 23:47technique. Before you get a chance to get
- 23:51on top of that wave and run it all the way to the end.
- 23:54That's the same thing when it comes to professional.
- 23:56Sports is football. When you're coaching 53 players,
- 23:59and a locker room, you have multiple coaches.
- 24:02You have a quarterback coach. You have an offense of Tony
- 24:04defense of coin in Lions coach, defensive line coach quarterback
- 24:07coach. They're all.
- 24:08There's a ton of coaches, this like 15 coaches on a roster.
- 24:12Everything has to work in sync with each other, for everything
- 24:16to work and that takes leadership, and Clint Kubiak to
- 24:19me, because he's been behind and under his father.
- 24:22So many years and learning from his father and his other
- 24:25brother. And understanding the game of
- 24:27football has really giving you the belief to understand.
- 24:31If you're a Vegas, Raiders fan that you're going to hire a
- 24:36competent Guy. Tom, Brady is a smart man.
- 24:38Now, I don't know if you can run an organization and I don't know
- 24:40how the NFL allows this guy as a broadcaster under Fox with the
- 24:45contract that he has to be able to own a piece of a team and
- 24:49run, a team that was never allowed.
- 24:52As a matter of fact, that was in the rule book, that you cannot
- 24:54be like that. You cannot have that statue but
- 24:57being that he's Tom Brady and he's the greatest, some people
- 25:01say the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom, Brady somehow,
- 25:04maneuvered around that and gadel allows, Tom Brady to be a
- 25:09broadcaster slash owner. And I knew that Tom Brady was
- 25:14going to be behind this higher. And the reason why I think that
- 25:19this might work is because Clint Kubiak is a guy that wants to
- 25:24succeed. He doesn't want to be compared
- 25:26to his father or his brother. He wants to go out there.
- 25:29Put it all on the line. You saw what Seattle did this
- 25:32year. You saw what he did against the
- 25:34Rams, the play calling the distinct play calling on.
- 25:37He just completely dominated the line of scrimmage with the
- 25:40running game with Walker. This is gonna be an opportunity
- 25:43for Clint Kubiak for he's probably gonna sign a five or
- 25:46six year deal, it's gonna they're Tom, Brady and Davis is
- 25:49going to give him a time to to build this team, build this
- 25:53roster to fit his understanding how this roster is going to
- 25:57play. Yeah, I was mentioning last week
- 25:59when we were talking about Tom muncan, going to the Browns.
- 26:01Like, I think certain coaches and offensive coordinators are
- 26:04evolutionary compared to trying to stick with one skiing, I
- 26:07think somebody like Kubiak, who's been around many different
- 26:09teams in a span of five years, five, five teams in really seven
- 26:13years. Basically, when he was with
- 26:15Minnesota the last three years at Mike, Zimmer was Are and
- 26:18helped Kirk Cousins, really grow to that next level.
- 26:20Remember Kirk Cousins had a really bad first year in
- 26:22Minnesota. I remember the beef was mocking
- 26:24me on Facebook for thinking that they were gonna miss the
- 26:26playoffs that year. And I said, they don't do well
- 26:28in back-to-back years and cousins.
- 26:29First year there, with not a lot of round him, they didn't do
- 26:31well, it was year two, that really was the leap of
- 26:33Minnesota, then he's worked over there with San Francisco with
- 26:36Kyle, Shanahan helped Sam darnold at that time, grow along
- 26:39with his brother, who's still with the 49ers organization and
- 26:41him and as a backup in 2023 helped him grow to play with
- 26:46Minnesota and then the ultimate pedicle this year in Seattle and
- 26:48the gate. Think you got to give him credit
- 26:50for in Seattle. Most of all in addition to Sam
- 26:52darnold, is the fact that he is all these random receivers, all
- 26:54these random tight ends and made that kind of thing work again
- 26:57and jiggle was great. Yeah, Kenneth Walker was good,
- 26:59but they had all these other role players that helped them in
- 27:02the playoffs. Help them beat the Rams, help
- 27:04them destroy the 49ers that took it to another level and I think
- 27:07he could. You need that kind of thing
- 27:08obviously with the Raiders because Brock Bowers is gonna
- 27:12get attention, if he's healthy gents, he's gonna get attention.
- 27:14We'll see how well the offensive line plays, that's another story
- 27:16but you need other guys to step up if you want a good team
- 27:19offense and you want for nanom and doses to develop into an NFL
- 27:22quarterback because a lot of questions with oh, is he really
- 27:25as good as the number one pick Prospect is Caleb.
- 27:27Williams was as good as even Trevor Lawrence was like,
- 27:30there's gonna be some questions with that kind of thing,
- 27:32especially with the level of receivers, which they have,
- 27:34which is not very good. How about all the different
- 27:36quarterbacks? They've drafted over the years.
- 27:37I mean Russell was an absolute Department.
- 27:39I mean they've drafted a lot of top-end quarterbacks over the
- 27:43years and had a lot of respectable coaches.
- 27:46I mean, Jon. Gruden was probably the most
- 27:48successful coach with the Raiders in the last 15 years.
- 27:51And what happened is they had the fire in because of that
- 27:54whole, that whole email situation with the Washington
- 27:59commanders and and Roger Goodell and all these Executives.
- 28:02He was the one that got had to be fired.
- 28:04He was the one that was thrown to the walls and that's why he
- 28:07won the lawsuit against the NFL and Jon Gruden.
- 28:10Well, I don't know if he'll ever get a job again.
- 28:12I know the Jets were going to probably offer him.
- 28:14The offensive coordinator job. But again, clean, Kubiak is a
- 28:17guy that's again, very well respected and and obviously
- 28:20knows the game of football as well.
- 28:22Is any offensive young coach has really gotten opportunity over
- 28:27the last couple years? Here's another thing.
- 28:28I, I know and I haven't spoken about Michael Floyd yet and I'm
- 28:32gonna get a chance to do that. And I, I wanted to split this up
- 28:34because Michael before I have my own thoughts too.
- 28:37And I know a little bit about Michael Floyd because he was the
- 28:40offensive coordinator for the New York Jets.
- 28:42It didn't really. He didn't really work over there
- 28:45because him and Robert Saleh and the organization is explicitly
- 28:49especially Joe Douglas who didn't.
- 28:52He wasn't Joe Douglas's first pick but it was, Robert Solace
- 28:56is God because the floor matt leflore and Robert solar, very
- 29:00close friends. Robert solow was his best or is
- 29:03part of his wedding party. One of his best men in his
- 29:05wedding and a guy that. And by the way, I don't know if
- 29:08anybody knows, there's Robert solow, when he got fired by the
- 29:10Jets, where did he go and work? He worked for the Green Bay
- 29:12Packers for a year. Before he took over for the
- 29:1449ers, says they're defense corner.
- 29:17I want to finish up with Kubiak because I think there's
- 29:20something to be said about Clint koopy act that a lot of people
- 29:23don't understand. Everybody.
- 29:25And a lot of these kids that want to Be a coach or be a
- 29:30player they want to they want to go they want to ride into their
- 29:33Father's Footsteps. I mean Noah Noah Eagle, his
- 29:37father is Iron Eagle and I an eagle has been a successful
- 29:40broadcaster and one of the best voices for the CBS Sports and
- 29:44basketball and ESPN and Nets basketball.
- 29:47This guy has been very successful.
- 29:49So what did Noah do? We went into broadcasting.
- 29:51He wanted to be just like his father and after he after he
- 29:55graduated from Syracuse, he got an opportunity to work for the
- 29:58Clippers and now he's working for CBS Sports and he's getting
- 30:01the opportunity. Everybody's going to give clean
- 30:04koopy Act. That oh well your father's Gary
- 30:07Cooper act that's why you're getting an opportunity to like
- 30:10this and a lot of people going to look at that and say well
- 30:12that how do you jump after five years or not?
- 30:15Even five years, four years to become a head coach for an
- 30:18national football team and it's very simple to understand here.
- 30:22When you are around football, your whole life.
- 30:25You eat sleep, crop, football, your whole life and your father
- 30:30is teaching you, as a youngster even as a football player, what
- 30:34the exes and Ohs what, what it is to display and understand the
- 30:38what you're seeing on film. It is not as easy as well.
- 30:42My father's Gary Kubiak and that's why I got a job.
- 30:46It takes time, it takes work, it takes discipline.
- 30:49And I give a lot of credit to the kubiak's brothers and and
- 30:53what they've done to earn the right eventually.
- 30:55Be coaching the NFL it. Again, it's not something that
- 30:59they're all. There are a minimum amount of
- 31:01teams in the NFL. There's 32 teams in the NFL, not
- 31:04everybody gets a coaching job. A lot of these coordinates might
- 31:07never get a coaching job, maybe because they're not distinct
- 31:09enough. They don't have the personality
- 31:11enough. When I look at klint, Kubiak,
- 31:13and his brother, and I've seen a lot of father and son's that
- 31:16have eventually, you know, obviously Bill Belichick, his
- 31:19father, was a head coach for the for North for the North Carolina
- 31:23Tar, Heels years and years ago, his know his father never
- 31:26coached in the NFL. But what did Bill Belichick
- 31:29wanted to do? He wanted to coach professional
- 31:32football. So we worked on to Bill Parcells
- 31:35learned. How to build Parcells and
- 31:36eventually got a chance to coach the Browns and then eventually
- 31:39that didn't work. It went back to the Giants, won
- 31:42a couple more one, another Super Bowl and then got a chance with
- 31:45the Jets went going to the Jets with Bill Parcells Parcells,
- 31:49gave him a job. It didn't work 24 hours, he goes
- 31:51to the Patriots and there she blows, and and we all know the
- 31:54back end of Bill, Belichick's career and his accomplishments.
- 31:57I'm not saying, klint Kubiak is going to win a Super Bowl.
- 32:00I'm not gonna say that Clinton succeed over there with the
- 32:04Raiders because usually when you look at statistics and you look
- 32:06at understanding of analytics the Raiders have not been a good
- 32:09organization since the 80s so this is not an organization
- 32:13that's succeeds. But when you put the right guy
- 32:16in place as Seattle, do what Mike McDonald as we see my fable
- 32:20over there with the Patriots. And we've seen look at the
- 32:23Texans and the opportunity. They've had over the last couple
- 32:26years with their coaching staff. If you put the Guy in place, you
- 32:29will succeed quickly Before You Go Fish.
- 32:31I just want to mention that. I think the Raiders Trends are a
- 32:34little different than some of the other teams will talk about.
- 32:35We'll talk about the Cardinals in a bit.
- 32:37They haven't hired a coach with experience until four Miami.
- 32:40We talked about last week as an IRA to coach as well for I think
- 32:43since the beginning of the decade and now all the sudden
- 32:45they're going with a different direction now.
- 32:47Josh McDaniels and unconventional, one Jon Gruden,
- 32:49obviously they took a shet. They took a chance on giving him
- 32:51that amount of money but they finally a chance they were, they
- 32:55were accomplished. And if you look at their
- 32:57success, when he was there, they were very successful.
- 32:59Oh, I know. So took a chance, well, know,
- 33:02forgive 100 million dollars a GM position.
- 33:04Giants just gave John Harbaugh 100 million dollars.
- 33:07And if you look at John Harbaugh in the last two years they he
- 33:11hasn't been accomplished. He hasn't done well ever since
- 33:15Mike McDonald left as these defensive corner, they take off
- 33:18Seattle. What is John Harbaugh done?
- 33:20Well, nothing. I'm talking about from the
- 33:21perspective. Give me the GM contract, too.
- 33:23At the same time, because we've seen a lot of coaches outside
- 33:25you got. Hey, if you want a good coach,
- 33:27you want to get a coach in place, and if that's your coach,
- 33:29you got to pay him, because he's not gonna take a job as a job
- 33:33where, you know, there's been a lot of backlash, but the Raiders
- 33:35have also had the reputation going the other way, because
- 33:37they haven't hired. A flashy rookie coach because
- 33:40they had a Vegas. You think you would have a Vegas
- 33:42Vibes, there to be able to do that kind of thing and get a
- 33:44good coach there, but they haven't done that either.
- 33:46And this is the best one combination of that, too.
- 33:49But at the same time, we have to see how he works with the
- 33:51players. Because you're right, the
- 33:52Raiders organization of the bad record of treating their
- 33:54players. Remember, we talked about it
- 33:55when Josh, McDaniels was there? That whole situation, what
- 33:58Chandler Jones when he came up to his house and like, like
- 34:01arrested him for something like accusing for something and they
- 34:04didn't happen. Now you're talking about Max
- 34:05crossbody and Derek Carr, their best quarterback.
- 34:07They Mistreated and he didn't want to say there anymore with
- 34:09Josh McDaniels this is the Tom. Brady effect though.
- 34:12Tom Brady knows what a Young quarterback needs and it's gonna
- 34:16be fermented Fernando Mendoza. So what do you want to get a guy
- 34:19like that? You want to get a run game, you
- 34:22want to get him an offense that lets you play run run first and
- 34:26play play action off of the Run. That's the staple of the Gary
- 34:29Kubiak offense, the Mike Shanahan offense, dating back to
- 34:32the 49ers in the early, nineties with the timing patterns of the
- 34:36West Coast, klint Kubiak. All he does is kind of run
- 34:41versions of the current Kyle Shanahan offense with all the
- 34:46Motions, all the three by one sets the Deep shots, but he is
- 34:50also still trying to run the Zone plays at the same time.
- 34:53So he puts out the Personnel, where Speedy, you see a lot of
- 34:57multiple tight ends sets. You see these different kind of,
- 34:59backfields from Seattle, you're seeing from other teams, but
- 35:04you're also getting old, emotions you see from all the
- 35:06other teams and it's a new type. Offense and you should get the
- 35:09job with a team. If there's 10 openings, if you
- 35:13are the coach of the offense of the team, who is the favorite
- 35:16heading into the Super Bowl, he deserves the shot.
- 35:18These absolutely doesn't. Tom Brady.
- 35:20Smart, give the quarterback. A coach who's hold on, hold on.
- 35:24We don't know what Tom Brady is yet as an owner.
- 35:27I mean, obviously, he's gonna get an opportunity to Michigan.
- 35:29He's smart. You know that.
- 35:31Well, he's he's smart enough to be one of the elite quarterbacks
- 35:34we've seen in of all time. I mean, there's only one
- 35:38quarterback that I would take over him right now and that's
- 35:40Joe Montana. And there's reasons why I would
- 35:43take Joe Montana over Tom. Brady some people would argue
- 35:45with me but that's fine. Some people take Peyton Manning
- 35:48even though Peyton Manning hasn't been accomplished over
- 35:51there in the playoffs. Nevertheless, Tom Brady is a guy
- 35:54that understands the quarterback position and obviously Mendoza
- 35:58is the guy that he believes is going to take this team and he's
- 36:01going to drive them. So and I and there's no question
- 36:04that Mendoza could be successful.
- 36:05We've seen what he's done everywhere.
- 36:07He's jumped from high school to pee.
- 36:10Wee, football peewee to high school to.
- 36:12Now the College Football winning a national championship, being a
- 36:16Heisman Trophy winner and now getting a chance to play as a
- 36:19number one, pick and no. But I don't show me those.
- 36:21If you ask man dose today or yesterday I was at the Heisman
- 36:25dinner, I know I don't think man does ever thought in his Wildest
- 36:28Dreams. He would be a Heisman Trophy
- 36:30winner so it he is an accomplished quarterback and and
- 36:34now it an organization that's going to be looking for a guy
- 36:36that that's going to be able to steer them to possibly a Super
- 36:39Bowl championship. So as far as the mic La Flor
- 36:42story. Mike LaFleur is a guy that has
- 36:44been coaching behind Sean McVay for the last couple of years.
- 36:47Yes he is considered the offensive coordinator for the
- 36:51Rams but the guy that was calling the place was showing
- 36:53like that. Don't care what anybody says.
- 36:55Sean McVay is The Mastermind in that offensive side of the ball.
- 36:58That's why the Rams were the best offensive team in the NFL
- 37:00this year and what the weapons they have.
- 37:03Nobody wanted that Arizona, Cardinals shop.
- 37:06Nobody. Kyler Murray is not going to be
- 37:09there next year. No matter who the head coaches.
- 37:11There's no way Michael Forge. Be able to control this guy
- 37:14because he talks in a third person more than anybody I've
- 37:16ever seen. And Mike LaFleur has not been
- 37:19very good recorder backs in the past.
- 37:21As we remember what the New York Jets.
- 37:25Here's the facts and I don't know if anybody knows this Sam
- 37:28darnold, was the starting quarterback of the New York
- 37:31Jets. When Robert Saleh and Joe
- 37:33Douglas were there? Both Robert Saleh, Michael
- 37:37floor, and Joe, Douglas decided that Sam Donald was an
- 37:41accompanying quarterback and wasn't going to be successful as
- 37:45a starting quarterback in the NFL.
- 37:46So they decided to move him for a second and fourth.
- 37:49Yes, my floor had a big part of that all.
- 37:51So Michael forehead, a big part on bringing in Zach Wilson He
- 37:57went to the both three of those guys went to his pro day.
- 38:00Watched him throw and said, oh the Ooze in the eyes, throwing
- 38:04on his back foot the the running, you know, running and
- 38:08throwing. And the ability to exact Wilson,
- 38:10the accuracy, that's Zach, Wilson had to playing and
- 38:13obviously, starting for BYU. He felled Mike LaFleur felled
- 38:20and he was calling the place. It wasn't proper solid.
- 38:22He was calling the place over there with the New York Jets.
- 38:25The Judgment one of the worst offensive teams.
- 38:27It's not the worst offensive team.
- 38:29I think they were ranked 31st in offense when he was there for
- 38:33the two and a half years that he was there.
- 38:37It was only when he went to Sean McVay and coached under him
- 38:40where that success became an opportunity for him to
- 38:44eventually get this coaching job.
- 38:46Nobody wanted that Cardinal shop.
- 38:48Nobody I guarantee you and I don't know how, I don't know the
- 38:52number how many coaches they interviewed but what I've heard
- 38:55they were two coaches that went for one interview and it will
- 38:59call back and maybe want to go over there.
- 39:00For the second interview. They rather go and become a want
- 39:04to stay as a defensive coin are and sign a contract as defensive
- 39:07coin. Are I heard that Brian Flores?
- 39:08Got off the job. He didn't want it.
- 39:11That's why he signed the contract for for another year
- 39:14under and he's the highest paid defensive coordinator right now,
- 39:17in the NFL under in Minnesota, he didn't want the job.
- 39:22And here's the thing I don't know if Brian Flores will ever
- 39:24get a job for the what happened over there with the Miami
- 39:27Dolphins? I don't know because he's
- 39:29interviewed for plenty of jobs and we've seen guys from Kansas
- 39:33City, you know, I'm talking about.
- 39:35In a few Eric Vietnamese from multiple jobs, I think you
- 39:40interviewed like 17, 18 times and went from multiple second
- 39:44interviews and never got the job.
- 39:45And Eric behind me now is back with Kansas City.
- 39:48Has a, I don't know, offensive. Coach on the side.
- 39:52He's not the offensive Corners under Matt, Nagy.
- 39:54Mike LaFleur was the only one. The only crazy one that would
- 39:57take this job. Now here's the thing.
- 40:00The Arizona Cardinals have a very good roster.
- 40:02Yeah, they don't have a quarterback but their defense
- 40:05was Elite this year. This was one of the top 12
- 40:07defense is in the NFL. They have a competent running
- 40:10back. I don't know if Connor's coming
- 40:12back next year, but he is a competent, right?
- 40:14They give me an extension. He'll be on the roster, but how
- 40:16healthy is it? Marvin Harrison Jr.
- 40:18Is is still hasn't really developed into the star that his
- 40:21father was. But still has a tremendous
- 40:23amount of time to become that. He's only 21 years old, 22 years
- 40:26old. He's got a lot of time.
- 40:28They have McBride who's probably the best tight end in the NFL.
- 40:32They have weapons and they're offensive line actually played.
- 40:36Well this year at some parts of the season.
- 40:40So Michael Ford, I understand why a lot of people don't want
- 40:43to coach over there because of ownership, because of all the
- 40:46backlash that we've seen over the last couple of years with
- 40:49the hours on a team, Kyler Murray's, another guy that a lot
- 40:53of coaches don't want to take responsibility for ever since
- 40:57King's Barry has left. And here's the thing.
- 41:03A guy like Kingsbury who had a chance to cut to draft, not one,
- 41:07but two quarterbacks in the top three.
- 41:10He had a top quarterback decided to part ways with him to bring
- 41:15in a guy like Kyler Murray and Kyler Murray had one good season
- 41:19to me and Speedy were very high on him.
- 41:21I remember he was a funny. I wasn't out of that draft, but
- 41:23I was impressed with him in year one.
- 41:25You were high on him, you were high on him and so was I Josh
- 41:29silver broke. Wasn't no lower than us.
- 41:31Yes, he didn't like know and he was right.
- 41:34Josh was right about him that this guy does not work good with
- 41:38others. This guy is a cocky s o b goes
- 41:41out there like to talk for himself doesn't stick up for his
- 41:44teammates this reminds me of Russell Wilson.
- 41:47Now you hearing stories with obviously Kyler Murray maybe the
- 41:51Jets interested. I think far far away from Kyla
- 41:55Murray and when you're bringing in a new offensive head coach,
- 41:58you want to get that guy out of that, locker room, you do not
- 42:02want to deal with Kyla Murray. And I think that was the problem
- 42:05because I still think ownership Might believe in Kyler Murray
- 42:09and now you got to go into your first season.
- 42:11What Kyla? Murray has your head as your
- 42:13starting quarterback. Your number one I don't know how
- 42:16that's gonna work and Mike lafour over the.
- 42:19Like I said, the time that I saw him with the Jets, he didn't
- 42:22work well with quarterbacks Zach Wilson and him didn't click, and
- 42:27then they Robert solid thought. Hey, get rid of Michael floor.
- 42:31I'm gonna bring in somebody else.
- 42:32Maybe that will help Zach Wilson.
- 42:34He didn't it made it worse? And again, that was Mike
- 42:38lafleur's pick. He wanted, Zach Wilson.
- 42:40They could have drafted Justin Fields.
- 42:42Obviously, Justin Fields didn't work because he was there with
- 42:44the Jets this year, but who knows?
- 42:46Maybe if he went in the right right place and he wasn't
- 42:49working on under effortless, the time that he was with Chicago,
- 42:51maybe Justin Fields is successful.
- 42:55But here's the fact here. The only reason why I'm Mike La.
- 42:59Flor got, is getting this offer. The only reason why he's gonna
- 43:02get this position is because nobody in the NFL wanted it, and
- 43:07that is a fact. So, anybody I feel bad for the
- 43:10Arizona Cardinals, because maybe I'm wrong.
- 43:12Maybe this guy is, he's gonna change his ways.
- 43:15Maybe being under Sean McVay for the little bit of time that he
- 43:18was for the last couple of years and getting a chance to work
- 43:21under an offensive genius. Even though it doesn't shut the
- 43:24hell up, Maybe that changed his way of thinking, as as an
- 43:28offensive mind as an offensive coach, but only time will tell,
- 43:33but what I've seen, as a New York Jet fan, it's alarming to
- 43:37me when they still don't have the one position that a lot of
- 43:41these teams that have been unsuccessful over the last
- 43:43couple years. Arizona, being one of them has
- 43:46not accomplished and that is a quarterback.
- 43:49And that that to me is a big problem.
- 43:51And Arizona does not have a chance to draft the quarterback
- 43:56in this class. This is not a good class for
- 43:58quarterback. So Arizona's going to wait a
- 44:00year to bring in a Young quarterback, which next year's
- 44:04quarterback class is going to be loaded.
- 44:06You have seller's, you have Manning and and I I would
- 44:09probably bet my bottom dollar Arizona will try to lose out
- 44:12every single game this off, see this season so they can get that
- 44:16number one, pick to landing and will Arch Manning or Archie
- 44:20Manning a grandfather of arch Manning at ever let his his
- 44:24grandson. Go and play for the Arizona
- 44:26Cardinals because we all know, Peyton Manning could have been a
- 44:29jet the year that he became available to go into the NFL
- 44:32draft. And what did he decide to do?
- 44:34He decided to go back to Tennessee as a senior because
- 44:37Archie Manning did not want him to play for the Jets.
- 44:39And that's why the Jets drafted Keyshawn Johnson.
- 44:42It's always interesting with La Flor.
- 44:43I've always been under the impression that in this hiring
- 44:46cycle, I don't think he was ever as bad as he was when he showed
- 44:49it with the Jets. Also, don't think he's as good
- 44:51as he showed on the Rams. I think he's kind of somewhere
- 44:52in between. Now, I was talking in the
- 44:55private chat tweener, is that what you're saying?
- 44:56Kind of. And he, I was stuck in the
- 44:58private chat last week with some of our interns when the Steelers
- 45:01hired my we were talking about the Steelers hiring Mike
- 45:02McCarthy and a lot of them wanted.
- 45:03A lot of those guys from that, Sean McVay, coaching tree, which
- 45:05I've said, is mostly been a net negative.
- 45:07Now, what's interesting is Kevin O'Connell and I don't think Zac
- 45:10Taylor's great but I think it's like he's confident our decent
- 45:13coaches that are coming from this McVeigh tree and that's the
- 45:15offensive side of the tree. It's the defense side of the
- 45:17tree that isn't as good with remorse who just got fired and
- 45:21Brandon Staley who was awful with the LA Chargers.
- 45:23So where is Mike? LaFleur fall into that more on
- 45:26the offensive side is first of all, just so you know.
- 45:30O'Connell, all those guys are under the Shanahan tree.
- 45:34Just so, you know, I don't think you understand from, Mike,
- 45:39Shanahan and Kyle Shanahan. That's where Sean McVay came
- 45:42from. That's where O'Connell came
- 45:43from, that's where Mike McDaniel came from.
- 45:45So You keep saying it's the Sean McVeigh tree, it's not the Sean
- 45:49McVeigh, the one, that's the Sean McVeigh tree is my is
- 45:52Michael for, he is under the Sean McAfee tree, but the guys
- 45:55that you're mentioning, that is not, that is not the Sean
- 45:59McVeigh tree. So I don't know where you're
- 46:00coming up, but oh, this is part of the Sean McVeigh was under
- 46:04the chenin entry. Okay.
- 46:06Well, these a little bigger than just big face, so I was just
- 46:08more specifying it down, but when I look at, yeah, bigger
- 46:12coaches, getting the opportunities somewhere else.
- 46:13Yeah. Brian Flores.
- 46:15And yeah, then turning him down, he definitely shows reputation
- 46:18with the ownership that I didn't think it really had.
- 46:19I grew the roster is pretty good.
- 46:20I think the offensive line was a lot better than I expected this
- 46:23year. Paris Johnson, I did not think
- 46:25was gonna be as good of a tackles.
- 46:26He was, he looked pretty good. And you said best Titan
- 46:29football, even though Harris. Hasn't developed.
- 46:30You got Michael Wilson who's a pretty good.
- 46:32Receiver, question will come with the quarterback, they'll
- 46:34probably get some journeyman in a trade or something like that
- 46:36for this year because I think they're gonna cut Kyler Murray
- 46:39at this point, the defense will see if it's still places well
- 46:41with a scheme fit really getting actually good defensive
- 46:44coordinator will be another question because you're right,
- 46:45they had a lot of defensive mind of head coaches that turned them
- 46:48down, including Chris Shula, and funny enough.
- 46:50They actually interviewed him or is it would have interviewed
- 46:52Robert Solace, the signs and higher.
- 46:54So Kevin says that he thinks that they should go a percent
- 46:58this coming year instead of Kyla Murray and that's a good take
- 47:01Kevin. But here's the thing.
- 47:02Brissette is a free agent and there are other teams right now
- 47:05looking for a starting quarterback, as you said.
- 47:09And as we've been saying the New York Jets, they don't have a
- 47:11quarterback in place. They need to bring it a veteran
- 47:13guy, they're not drafting a quarterback in this class and
- 47:15even if they do it'll be probably a third or maybe even a
- 47:19fifth round draft pick where they're going to have to sit him
- 47:21for practically half of this season with the veteran
- 47:25quarterback and that's why Jacoby percent is going to get
- 47:27money. A lot of these veteran,
- 47:29quarterbacks I Been saying, Davis.
- 47:31What Davis Mills is a guy. I would go after.
- 47:33If I'm the Jets or I'm any one of these teams he is, I think
- 47:37this is year, five for him. He is a free agent, that's the
- 47:40guy I'm going. After, if I'm a GM right now of
- 47:43an organization, I've seen enough of meals that he can be
- 47:46an accomplished quarterback in this league and maybe if it goes
- 47:49to a team, maybe gets a chance, like Sam Donald to accomplish
- 47:53his his opportunity to be a starting quarterback and maybe
- 47:56he changes his ways and maybe becomes that that quarterback
- 47:59that a lot. I believe he could be in the
- 48:01NFL, I wouldn't say Elite but if he's a top 10 quarterback and
- 48:04you can win with that. If even if he's a top 15
- 48:07quarterback, you can win with that.
- 48:09And I think Davis Mills can absolutely be a top 15
- 48:13quarterback in the NFL. Yeah, it's gonna be up to
- 48:15leflore to get the other guys going first because they're not
- 48:17gonna be able to draft a quarterback.
- 48:18This year, I wouldn't even take a flyer on the second or third
- 48:21round. I think the Cardinals still need
- 48:23enough. Where I think you're looking at
- 48:24them just building up. Maybe the pass rush building up
- 48:27their receiving depth a little more.
- 48:28I think the running backs, there's nothing.
- 48:30Young ones on their roster to try to figure out, they just
- 48:32have to stay healthy and I just think you get a quarterback
- 48:34after that again. I think it's a middle tier
- 48:37higher. I don't love it.
- 48:38Don't hate it either way, but I hate it.
- 48:39Yeah, I'm not gonna say it's as long as you are loving or don't
- 48:43hate it. It's it's terrible.
- 48:44The Cardinals were reaching on this.
- 48:46I don't think the Kubiak thing was I do not believe the Las
- 48:50Vegas, Raiders were reaching on Kubiak.
- 48:52He wasn't their number one guy but I'm sure he was in their top
- 48:56three. So the Raiders are still getting
- 48:58a top. Three type of guy that was on
- 49:00their list, the Cardinals interviewed like 10 guys and
- 49:04asked for two guys to come back for second interviews and they
- 49:07didn't want to Brian Flores decided to go back to Minnesota
- 49:11to take more money as a defensive coin are because he
- 49:14didn't want that job. He had no interest in taking
- 49:16that job. That says a lot about where
- 49:19Michael Flores going and what kind of organization he's going
- 49:21to. Say whatever you want speed, you
- 49:24don't like, you don't hate it but hey, you didn't like the
- 49:26Robert Solomon, but everybody, everybody and their mother
- 49:29Bleacher Report. Yahoo sports gave him a minus
- 49:32Tennessee and he might, okay, you say what you say, you don't
- 49:36like it, you don't hate it. You're going to tell me that
- 49:38Robert soul is not better than a microphone.
- 49:41He already fail his head. Yeah.
- 49:43And what do you think, Michael Forbes gonna do over there with
- 49:46the Cardinals? He's got no quarterback, he has
- 49:48no position in play over there. What's he taking over?
- 49:51He's taking a good roster over with a lot of good young
- 49:53players, but what a lot of good young players Kenny coach up
- 49:57because he couldn't coach Zach Wilson, as a matter of fact,
- 49:59what pissed me off about Michael for more than anything as a New
- 50:03York Jet fan? Is he never was on the bench, he
- 50:06was up in the Press Box, calling the plays.
- 50:09It was only his final year with the last five games in a season
- 50:12where he was on the field, talking to the quarterback.
- 50:14You gonna pick that as your head coach?
- 50:18A guy that didn't want to be with your quarterback, the guy
- 50:20that shows that quote about to be his guy and part ways with a
- 50:24quarterback, that's not in a Super Bowl.
- 50:27Oh, you don't like it. You don't hate it.
- 50:28That shows you that I would not pick you as as a guy that's
- 50:32gonna pick my roster speeding. Or a guy that's gonna pick my
- 50:35coach, you can never be a GM in this league.
- 50:37If you're gonna tell me, you don't like it.
- 50:39You don't hate it. I absolutely hate it.
- 50:40It's a horrible move Arizona's gonna fail.
- 50:43And you're gonna have all these guys.
- 50:44McBride, you're gonna have Marvin, Harrison Jr.
- 50:47They're gonna ask their way out of there, because they're not
- 50:49going to want to be coached by this kid.
- 50:50And he is going to sign at least a five-year deal.
- 50:53At least the five year deal, because he knows that this
- 50:55roster and whoever they bring in this year, we're gonna have to
- 50:58wait until next year to bring in the quarterback that of his
- 51:02shoes. And because this class is not
- 51:04good, what's he gonna bring Carson back?
- 51:05Do you think that Mike LaFleur can control Carson back after he
- 51:09couldn't control, Zach Wilson, Zach Wilson was an incompetent
- 51:13idiot. And you're gonna tell me.
- 51:15Well, I don't like it. I don't hate it.
- 51:16I hate it. And for you to sit there as a
- 51:19football guy and analytic guy, you should know what he did as
- 51:24an offense of coordinator with the New York Jets.
- 51:26And you know as a football person that watches the ramp.
- 51:29Do you think for one second? He was calling the place.
- 51:33Yes, or no. Yes.
- 51:35Or no. I said, yes, that's not what I'm
- 51:39asking, you. I want to hear a yes, or no
- 51:41question, because this is what? No, he's on the place.
- 51:43All right, all right. That's it.
- 51:44No. So, how do you think, and why do
- 51:48you think that this is not a good or a bad hire?
- 51:50Again, I don't think, I don't think his extremes with no
- 51:53sense. All right, I don't want to hear
- 51:55any more from you fish. I want to hear your take on it.
- 51:57I don't want to hear any more because you're going around.
- 52:00You're beating around the bush. It doesn't make any sense.
- 52:02You don't like it. You don't hate it but you you
- 52:04don't like the Robert Salah higher, it's terrible.
- 52:06Okay. So here here's my f.
- 52:09Michael floor is an f f because if you don't like Robert solow,
- 52:13you definitely shouldn't like Michael floor.
- 52:15I think I'd rather have solid before I absolutely, I'm, I, I
- 52:19think it's kind of easy to make that pick and I think the
- 52:21Cardinals ended up picking him because like you said, they were
- 52:24the last guys to pick and he was the what they thought was the
- 52:29cheapest best alternative to what they could get.
- 52:32He doesn't call plays. Is an offensive coordinator.
- 52:35I still don't really understand what that means.
- 52:37I like it as like, I guess he's the one that's running the
- 52:41meetings. He's the one doing the X's
- 52:43notice, but mcveigh's calling the place in the date and doing
- 52:46the day-to-day Under Pressure during the game type of stuff.
- 52:49I mean, he's helping McVeigh but it's not like he's the one doing
- 52:53it now. Is he really graded X's and O's?
- 52:56Yeah, he's from the, the school of all those guys, if he hires a
- 52:59good offensive coordinator, that he knows can call plays, maybe
- 53:03he's successful, but I would say it's probably not gonna happen.
- 53:07I wanted to Speedy, you know, I think it's important to think of
- 53:12where these guys come from. So they're all from the
- 53:14Shanahan. Both of these guys are
- 53:16technically, Shanahan and all of them tree guys.
- 53:18Like, he'll be back, right? Because cool Beck, you know,
- 53:20like, Kubiak and Mike Shanahan. We're coaching together.
- 53:23So I I like to look at like how they rose up and you mentioned
- 53:27Bill Belichick before he didn't start with Parcels.
- 53:30He started as an assistant getting paid.
- 53:33No. Me just because his dad had a
- 53:36connection with Ted marchibroda of the 70s Colts.
- 53:39I had this book that I read along and I was always amazed
- 53:42by. He just wanted a foot in the
- 53:44door and he just started coaching and then they couldn't
- 53:46get rid of the guy because he was too good.
- 53:48And and then he just went from one job to the next.
- 53:51He didn't have a rabbi really in the NFL.
- 53:54He didn't have somebody that could you know like like shelter
- 53:58him to the next place, like a Shanahan tree like McVay tree to
- 54:02take care of him. I look at Kubiak he could have
- 54:05done what LaFleur did and stay with Shanahan guys as whole
- 54:08career because that's what floor did.
- 54:09He's only ever been with Shanahan guys that includes
- 54:13Allah when he was there. That's a Shanahan tied too.
- 54:16Technically. Not really offensively, but
- 54:17still Shannon guy. Look at Kubiak started in
- 54:21Denver, but he went to the Viking's, he's gone.
- 54:24He went, he went to he's done stuff on his own.
- 54:26He's been like five teams Speedy in the last five years,
- 54:28something like that. And he's learned from everything
- 54:31inclusion in. So we stopped there too and he
- 54:34ran the offense for Shanahan and as like the guy you know, behind
- 54:37Shannon. So he's had that role a couple
- 54:40years before. Now the floors again that job
- 54:43like three years ahead of like, Kubiak schedule, I just don't
- 54:47see, that doesn't make seen what the Florida does, what he did,
- 54:51when he was calling the place for the Jets, it just wasn't
- 54:53good enough. So I don't even think it's
- 54:55particularly close. The only thing I worry about is
- 54:58a Cardinals fan. Is you know there's always one
- 55:02team that does it Arrow. They reach for the quarterback
- 55:04that shouldn't be drafted here. If there's not enough
- 55:07quarterbacks in the draft in the first round and if Ty Simpson
- 55:10really has a good workout I would be really afraid if they
- 55:15do something stupid and take them up high because they want a
- 55:19quarterback. It this is the the program that
- 55:22would do something like that and that's what I'd be afraid of
- 55:25ESPN's, Adam schefter reports, the Vikings have fired general
- 55:29manager, questi Adobe Mensa after four seasons pro football
- 55:34talk, Mike Florio, reported that questi and head coach.
- 55:38Kevin O'Connell argued whether JJ McCarthy was ready to be the
- 55:42starter and if the team should keep Sam darnold, who is less
- 55:47than a week away from starting in Super Bowl, 60 for the
- 55:52Seattle. Seahawks O'Connell, didn't get
- 55:55his wish as the GM overruled. The successful coach setting the
- 56:00franchise back years. The Vikings also released,
- 56:02Daniel Jones along with darnold in their decision, to go with
- 56:07McCarthy who had a rough first year first.
- 56:10Season Superstar wide. Receiver Justin Jefferson
- 56:13through the outgoing GM. Under the bus on social media
- 56:17stating the obvious that the team would have been better with
- 56:22the Arnold ESPN's. Kevin Suffer reports that Brian
- 56:27Flores was also very uncomfortable with quasi to keep
- 56:32Flores in the fold, the Vikings reportedly made him the highest
- 56:36paid defensive coordinator in the league at over 6 million a
- 56:41year. Since he took over in 2022, the
- 56:45Vikings have had the second fewest games played out of their
- 56:50draft picks. Combining for just 172 games.
- 56:54Only better than the Dolphins who fired their GM.
- 56:57Chris Greer mid-season. All right.
- 57:00So I if you're in we had we had one of peepers on a show and
- 57:04he's a friend of the show, and I know Pete's, probably listening
- 57:07to Chai sent him the link and I wanted to see and my take behind
- 57:11kwesi and and I don't know much about him as a GM.
- 57:14What I do know is he's been there for four years and his
- 57:18draft picks were not very good, JJ McCarthy.
- 57:21I like coming out of the draft. I think he needed a little bit
- 57:24more time behind Sam. Donald.
- 57:26I think they should assign Sam Donald for our three year. 100
- 57:29million dollar contract that Seattle gave him, Sam, Donald
- 57:32was successful. His first year as a starting
- 57:35quarterback quarterback. What?
- 57:36Minnesota O'Connell was getting his offense through him.
- 57:39And you saw Justin Jefferson flourishing, they're running
- 57:43game. What's flurrying?
- 57:44They're offense, what's flurrying, even with an elite
- 57:47defense with Brian Flores? I mean, think about this right
- 57:50now. If Sam darnold was there with
- 57:53Minnesota maybe it would be Minnesota going to the Super
- 57:55Bowl. Maybe they were in the NFC this
- 57:57year. Brian Flores his defense was
- 57:59Elite top five top six in the NFL.
- 58:01Once again their offense was putrid.
- 58:05Just to Jefferson had over a little bit over 1,000 yards.
- 58:08This year had two touchdowns. I looked up the numbers last
- 58:11last week they were bad. Justin Jefferson who was on his
- 58:15way to maybe catch, Jerry Rice, everybody.
- 58:18If there was anybody, I remember when Odell Beckham was in a
- 58:22position to maybe catch, Jerry Rice with the fourth great
- 58:24Seasons, he had with the Giants and then fell apart with injury.
- 58:27Justin Jefferson has been fairly healthy at.
- 58:30Besides, I think it was last year or the year before when he
- 58:32had a significant injury, adjusted Jefferson was a, he's
- 58:37been playing at a top level and as good as any water receiver in
- 58:41the league. If you look at him fantasy, he
- 58:43was a top three, top four pick Anybody in a draft to Jeff
- 58:46Justin Jefferson this year, probably lost a Fantasy Lake.
- 58:50OH probably didn't even get to the playoffs.
- 58:53Think about it. Are you gonna trust that JJ
- 58:56McCarthy is the future quarterback in the organization?
- 58:58Because Jim Harbaugh said, if you don't draft him, it's like
- 59:01you're not drafting Michael Jordan.
- 59:04Now we heard that about DeShaun Watson when you know somebody in
- 59:08Clemson said that and he was right to Sean Watson for his
- 59:11first five or six years was a good quarterback.
- 59:14And then with all his woes being trade in and then you know, the
- 59:18the rub and tug situation and all that and and his situation
- 59:24behind the scenes didn't really bold well for the Browns and the
- 59:27organization or even the Texans when they decided to part ways
- 59:30with him because of the backlash, O'Connell is on the
- 59:34hot seat. Say whatever you want
- 59:37O'Connell's, one of the best young offensive Minds in the NFL
- 59:40and he was eventually being looked at is one of the elite
- 59:43offensive minds. And when Sam Donald was there,
- 59:45they decided to let Sam darnold. Go to Seattle, which is probably
- 59:49the best thing Seattle did in the offseason.
- 59:51With all the moves. Seattle made even the draft
- 59:54picks that they made, which was fantastic draft.
- 59:58The biggest move they made was bringing in a quarterback, a
- 1:00:01venture quarterback, who by the way was the youngest quarterback
- 1:00:04in the NFL and NFL history. When he was drafted by the Jets.
- 1:00:08The Jets drafted him at the age of 19.
- 1:00:12He just turned 20 when he was drafted.
- 1:00:16And look, Sam, Donald is only 28 years old.
- 1:00:18He's not even fully in his prime yet, and he started to develop
- 1:00:22into the star quarterback, that the judge should have saw him as
- 1:00:25and Minnesota, definitely saw him as Now, you'll look at Kevin
- 1:00:30O'Connell, I don't know if Kenneth in O'Connell, if he
- 1:00:33fails again this year which agent McCarthy will have a job.
- 1:00:35There's no way ownership but it's going to keep him as good
- 1:00:38as he is. There are other guys that are
- 1:00:41going to be available next year. Mike Tomlin will be available
- 1:00:43maybe Brian Flores gets that offer finally Minnesota decides
- 1:00:47to go with Brian Flores his head coach because he was successful
- 1:00:50over there in Miami. And maybe that's why they gave
- 1:00:55him a six-year deal. I mean, I have six six and a
- 1:00:58half million dollar contract for this next year and be in the
- 1:01:01highest defensive corner because maybe they're playing is.
- 1:01:03If O'Connell doesn't Work over there.
- 1:01:06You bringing Brian Flores and he could draft his own Court back,
- 1:01:09and they trade JJ McCarthy. I do not know Mensa in a hole in
- 1:01:16a wall. Pete birthday did and I didn't
- 1:01:19really get into the GM and and the firing when Pete was on the
- 1:01:22show, Because he was still in position as the GM.
- 1:01:28Now, you think about it? And and where they sit, this is
- 1:01:32still a competent defense. This is still an elite defense.
- 1:01:35They're going to have practically all their players
- 1:01:37coming back next year. They have a competent offensive
- 1:01:42line. I don't know if they're running
- 1:01:45game is as good as it was the year before, but that's because
- 1:01:49I had a quarterback that actually throw the ball, it's a
- 1:01:52big problem when you don't have a quarterback and you don't have
- 1:01:54a quarterback in line to succeed, You're not gonna have
- 1:01:58much, you have a weapon like Justin Jeff forson.
- 1:02:02He did to me is the best wide receiver in the NFL hands down.
- 1:02:05He is the best wide receiver in the NFL.
- 1:02:09Not having a quarterback to get him.
- 1:02:10The ball is a big problem and when you have your quarterback,
- 1:02:13go out there and throw your organization onto the bus,
- 1:02:17through the team, under the bus saying that Sam Donald was the
- 1:02:20guy not JJ McCarthy. How do you think JJ McCarthy
- 1:02:24feels when his best wide receiver came out on social
- 1:02:28media and said Donald's. The guy Donald was the guy.
- 1:02:31Now you're going into a season where JJ McCarthy is the, the
- 1:02:34quarterback, Again, once again and your team does not believe
- 1:02:39in you. Your best player does not
- 1:02:42believe in you. The one of the highest paid wide
- 1:02:45receivers in the NFL does not believe JJ McCarthy believe in
- 1:02:49JJ McCarthy. And the fact here is, if you
- 1:02:54don't have a quarterback, you don't have nothing.
- 1:02:55Go ask the Jets, go ask the Browns.
- 1:02:57Go ask the Miami Dolphins. You don't have a quarterback.
- 1:03:02You don't win. Go, ask the Giants right now.
- 1:03:05Now they think Jackson darts, the guy.
- 1:03:08But before jaxson Dart, they were reaching for Geno Smith.
- 1:03:13And all the other quarterbacks they've had over the years and
- 1:03:15coaches and GMS, and I'm bringing up the Giants because
- 1:03:19we're living in New York. Look how bad the Buffalo Bills
- 1:03:23were and they got Josh Allen. And they didn't even know if
- 1:03:26Josh Allen was going to be the guy when they drafted him,
- 1:03:29because his throwing motion and that shoulder surgery when he
- 1:03:32came from Wyoming. They reached.
- 1:03:36But they believed in him. And what GM still has a job over
- 1:03:39there. That's why I Joe Shane has a job
- 1:03:43over there with the Giant's because they reached on Josh,
- 1:03:46and they were right about Josh Allen.
- 1:03:50JJ McCarthy. They might have been wrong about
- 1:03:52and that's why the GM doesn't have a job.
- 1:03:54And that's why O'Connell might not have a job after next year.
- 1:03:58Because if you can't develop a Young quarterback, that you
- 1:04:02decided to draft and he was a part of that.
- 1:04:05I wasn't just mess up. I don't care what anybody says
- 1:04:08as much as O'Connell like Sam Donald.
- 1:04:13JJ McCarthy was on that roster. When Sam Donald was signed, they
- 1:04:17JJ McCarthy went down his first year and that's why they signed
- 1:04:20Sam Donald. I think people forget the JJ
- 1:04:24McCarthy, missed his first full season I think, because he tore
- 1:04:27his ACL. He came back last year and his
- 1:04:32first full season as a starting quarterback in the league and he
- 1:04:34felled that does that mean he's going to fill no O'Connell in
- 1:04:38the UFC season can develop him we'll see how it works.
- 1:04:41But If you look at the situation for what it is, you see Sam
- 1:04:46darnold in the Super Bowl right now and on getting a three-year
- 1:04:48100 million dollar contract. And last year, you had the money
- 1:04:52to sign Sam Donald to bring him in another year, or even Daniel
- 1:04:55Jones to at least start over JJ McCarthy.
- 1:04:58So we got his feet wet and you fail to do that.
- 1:05:00Because your GM said, JJ McCarthy is a guy we're starting
- 1:05:04JJ McCarthy, and we're not bringing it back.
- 1:05:06Sam, Donald. That's why he doesn't have a
- 1:05:08job. Yep.
- 1:05:09And the other reason isn't have a job is because you knew you
- 1:05:11were an injury prone. Quarterback, that missed an
- 1:05:13entire rookie season, and didn't get a better backup quarterback
- 1:05:16to go along with that. You had.
- 1:05:17Yeah, even if you don't bring back Donald like, you bring back
- 1:05:19Daniel Jones and maybe he, maybe he plays as well as he did in
- 1:05:22Indianapolis. Maybe he doesn't, I don't know,
- 1:05:23but at least, he still a lot better than what you had with a
- 1:05:26Carson went to and played in like three years and then Max
- 1:05:29Broner was an undrafted free agent like you didn't do that.
- 1:05:32When you get a quarterback that was injury promo.
- 1:05:34Verse talked about it, what he was on the show, he's played ten
- 1:05:37games in his career until here like that's not gonna win you
- 1:05:40anything. And yeah O'Connell's gonna get a
- 1:05:42Brunt of it. If he doesn't show up this year
- 1:05:43because there's been better coaches that have lost their
- 1:05:46jobs, this off season, and there's been better.
- 1:05:48GMS that have lost their job that's all season.
- 1:05:50You talked about Brian Flores either getting promoted or Mike
- 1:05:53Tomlin Mike Tomlin started in Minnesota as the defensive
- 1:05:55coordinator before we got hired with the Steelers.
- 1:05:57So the ownership has a little bit of loyalty to Mike Tomlin
- 1:06:00potentially do as well. Now is Ocala, still a good
- 1:06:02coach. Yeah, I think he probably like
- 1:06:04go out for a year like Mike McDaniel an offensive
- 1:06:07coordinator and then he'll get a job in a year or two after that
- 1:06:09if he doesn't get fired from Minnesota.
- 1:06:10But again, questie we've seen better GMS get fired for these.
- 1:06:14Just bold decisions and the Vikings you don't think of them
- 1:06:17in the same light of those organizations you were listed as
- 1:06:19but they're still not a team that loves there's great with
- 1:06:21quarterbacks as a whole but don't they call Peppers.
- 1:06:24Probably the one homegrown guy that they drafted that was
- 1:06:26pretty good but her cousins is a free agent.
- 1:06:28They haven't drafted a good quarterbacks besides I gave
- 1:06:31Jurassic Christian Ponder and all these other wait Wilson in
- 1:06:34the past like these aren't this is and they really good
- 1:06:36developing other positions. So they're a top 10 I think
- 1:06:38Player Development organization but they just can't get the
- 1:06:41quarterback right and it just really looks bad.
- 1:06:42When you look at the Sam, Donald just done, you know, Daniel
- 1:06:45don't sit and he Annapolis and now some of their Text you
- 1:06:49talked about the stats fish, they haven't had games play,
- 1:06:51some of them are really injury prone to, like, Lewis scene was
- 1:06:53the first there. His first draft pick, was a good
- 1:06:55safety head of Georgia. You had Mekhi Blackmon.
- 1:06:57It was good corner. Like a lot of them lost a major
- 1:07:00injuries, which doesn't help them.
- 1:07:01But still, it definitely not a good track record.
- 1:07:03You not draft. Well, this year then solve the
- 1:07:05biggest positions you need. It's a problem.
- 1:07:07When you have the second fewest amount of snaps by guys that
- 1:07:12you've drafted since you became the GM of your team, it's not a
- 1:07:16good sign. And getting suspended this year
- 1:07:19too, it doesn't help either. Well that also speaks to like,
- 1:07:22you know, culture issues within the clubhouse.
- 1:07:25But the thing is you have good coaching.
- 1:07:27You do have good coaching and they're fighting it.
- 1:07:29They just didn't have the roster and when they got injuries, they
- 1:07:33couldn't come back from it. And the quarterback play was
- 1:07:35atrocious. They didn't have a backup, but
- 1:07:37the problem was this GM had not only Sam darnold, but Daniel
- 1:07:42Jones, he had both of them Arrow you before he got hurt.
- 1:07:48I mean, you gave me hell every week because Daniel Jones was
- 1:07:52going to become back player of the year and he was going to get
- 1:07:55all of the awards. He was going to be a pro bowler.
- 1:07:58Some consideration for maybe a second Team all probably just
- 1:08:01watched or Sanders. Yeah so that's even oh you like
- 1:08:06myth in there and shoulder? Yes Duty.
- 1:08:10Nathan. If he sees your door Sanders,
- 1:08:12he's probably gonna be riding his Rock strap the whole time.
- 1:08:14He'll probably be hanging on it. You know you seen it.
- 1:08:17Oh, I wanna, I want to interview.
- 1:08:19You buy it, by the way, Ness please stop interviewing people.
- 1:08:23You are atrocious atrocious and I love you.
- 1:08:29How about this one? This is the one right here.
- 1:08:32Oh my God, for you. That's a good one.
- 1:08:35By the way. You turns the head crafted.
- 1:08:39Well that would have still the best and I'm gonna say this, I'm
- 1:08:42Brian Flores is probably licking his lips because he knows that
- 1:08:46if O'Connell does not succeed this year and this team does not
- 1:08:49make the playoffs with JJ McCarthy.
- 1:08:51They already know with a new JM in place.
- 1:08:54They're not bringing JJ McCarthy back, they're gonna use him as a
- 1:08:57trade chip. Maybe get a second or fourth
- 1:08:59like the Jets got maybe even less because I don't even think
- 1:09:01he's a competent quarterback, maybe you treat him to the
- 1:09:05Chargers and let them go over there and play with Jim harpal
- 1:09:07as the backup would Justin Herbert and and then you have to
- 1:09:11draft your own quarterback and that means Brian Flores will be
- 1:09:14right in position to get his first coaching job since Miami
- 1:09:17which that's why I believe they gave him a six, six, six and a
- 1:09:20half million dollar contract for this next year was because I
- 1:09:24believe that O'Connell is on a hot seat.
- 1:09:26You pay a defensive coin is six million dollars, you know that
- 1:09:29they want them there and case oconnell doesn't work.
- 1:09:32Yeah, and getting another thing Quest.
- 1:09:33He doesn't get credit for is the way that they developed these.
- 1:09:36These new guys that I lost. From The Mike Zimmer defense,
- 1:09:39they let Danielle Hunter go to Houston and signed Jonathan
- 1:09:42Bernard, oddly enough attacks in his draft, pick and grenada's
- 1:09:45done wonders with this Vikings defense, and look at all these
- 1:09:47random linebackers that they brought into that succeeded in
- 1:09:51that system with Flores. That's the same thing he did in
- 1:09:53Miami. It wasn't quasi doing anything
- 1:09:54special with these draft picks either.
- 1:09:56Did he drop some good players? Like I said, got lucky with me
- 1:09:59some of the injuries. Yeah, I think I don't think
- 1:10:00value why she was like drastically reaching dude.
- 1:10:03The only reason why he doesn't have a job was to JJ McCarthy
- 1:10:05draft pick. That's the only reason why.
- 1:10:07And that's what and that happens with a lot of GMS.
- 1:10:10What Joe Douglas lost his job because it's Zach Wilson.
- 1:10:12We want to go on and on and off. This is worse though.
- 1:10:15Errol cuz he had the guy in the building and he was ready.
- 1:10:19He proves that list, so I know. But they just won 12 games or 13
- 1:10:23games, or whatever, it was with Sam darnold.
- 1:10:25Remember we talked about them trading?
- 1:10:27The playoff format last year, because they won 14.
- 1:10:29Yeah, 14 games, you win, 14 games and go.
- 1:10:33You know what, let's try this unproven kid.
- 1:10:35That was supposed to be mobile, but he just Tours meniscus or
- 1:10:39ACL wherever the hell it is that he tore last year.
- 1:10:41I mean it was one of the most ridiculous Decisions by a
- 1:10:46general manager ever. And it makes me think about us
- 1:10:48be to you talk about, he made some good choices with some free
- 1:10:52agents. At Shore started gettleman.
- 1:10:55Maybe write that, that's that's great.
- 1:10:57But if you can't draft and you don't understand how this guy
- 1:11:01never played football. Now, there's it's not like he
- 1:11:04never played like any football like at a high level.
- 1:11:08He never played football. He's a basketball guy, and he's
- 1:11:11a stats analyst from. And he's got a job with Shanahan
- 1:11:15and worked his way up as an as a sounds like the brown
- 1:11:19background, sounds like the 49ers injury luck to Minnesota.
- 1:11:23Right. Well, I mean, I I don't care
- 1:11:25about the luck. I just don't think you want a
- 1:11:28guy like that to run the show. That doesn't have.
- 1:11:31That kind of, like, understanding of certain things
- 1:11:34that you need to understand about football.
- 1:11:36Like, if you have a guy that can win 14 games a quarterback, you
- 1:11:40keep that guy. You trade McCarthy for whatever,
- 1:11:43you can get for them. What do you think they could
- 1:11:45have? Got at the time, first trumpets
- 1:11:47that first round, they could have got probably the first
- 1:11:49round pick and now you're not getting even a third round pick
- 1:11:52for this guy, maybe you're not, you know, maybe maybe third at
- 1:11:56best and it's a it's it's, it's embarrassing and they
- 1:12:00overachieve more than any team. I think because they're in the
- 1:12:02toughest division with all those playoff teams, they were 500
- 1:12:07until the very end and a testament to that coaching
- 1:12:10staff. I mean, we'll see what happens
- 1:12:12with the next guy they get but I wasn't drafted.
- 1:12:14Oh, before bonex. Yes.
- 1:12:16So think about it, bonix has been and I I love bonix when he
- 1:12:20came out of the draft. And I I told everybody, I think
- 1:12:22he was going to be a good Back in the league one that he got a
- 1:12:25chance to play four years of college, ball had a chance to
- 1:12:28play at a top level and then goes to a guy like Sean Payton.
- 1:12:31Now O'Connell is a good offensive mind, but O'Connell
- 1:12:35also is never coached a rookie quarterback.
- 1:12:37This was his first quarterback that he coached from college.
- 1:12:41He's coached practically veteran quarterbacks.
- 1:12:44So this was something new for him.
- 1:12:46Now, I'm not saying that O'Connell can't do it but JJ
- 1:12:48McCarthy might not be able to run his offense.
- 1:12:50And and to me, I thought they were reaching for JJ McCarthy
- 1:12:54because I didn't think JJ McCarthy is Speedy.
- 1:12:56If you remember, I thought he was an early.
- 1:12:57Second round draft pick first round at best, so they were
- 1:13:01reaching on JJ McCarthy because Jim Harbaugh, Jim Harbaugh vouch
- 1:13:05for him. But guess what?
- 1:13:06If Jim Harbaugh loved him so much, that was his first year as
- 1:13:10a head coach. Why didn't he drafted him?
- 1:13:11Why? Because he had Justin Herbert
- 1:13:13and he had a chance to coach the duck.
- 1:13:15So, I to me, I go back and I look at the options that the
- 1:13:20Minnesota Vikings had at the time, they Could have drafted
- 1:13:24bonex or maybe not drafted there that year.
- 1:13:26Waited a year after hap bringing Sam Donald and then think hey,
- 1:13:31if Sam Donald doesn't work, then we go after a quarterback in the
- 1:13:34draft because Sam Donald came from the 49ers.
- 1:13:37He was a competent. Young quarterback, still had an
- 1:13:41opportunity to develop. He had his time with the 49ers,
- 1:13:43got a chance to understand Kyle, Shannon's offense.
- 1:13:46And who does O'Connell come from the Shanahan tree.
- 1:13:49So he runs practically the same offense and look what Sam Donald
- 1:13:53turned into, and I think it was a big mistake, a big mistake
- 1:13:57letting stamped Donald leave. And, by the way, Sam, Donald did
- 1:14:00not want to go to the Seattle Seahawks.
- 1:14:02As a matter of fact, I remember when Sam Donald was being
- 1:14:05interviewed on a podcast after the season, they asked him,
- 1:14:08where do you want to go being that?
- 1:14:10You're an unrestricted free agent.
- 1:14:11He said, I'd like to stay in Minnesota.
- 1:14:12I'd build a lot of good relationships here.
- 1:14:15So in fact, there is he wanted to stay in Minnesota and
- 1:14:20Minnesota didn't want him anymore.
- 1:14:21And boy oh boy. Now you know who's getting the
- 1:14:24fruits of all loins the Seattle Seahawks because Seattle is the
- 1:14:27favorite to comment their four and a half.
- 1:14:29I think they're four and a half favorites right now in the Super
- 1:14:33Bowl and and they might murder the Patriots.
- 1:14:35After what we've seen, the Patriots in the playoffs.
- 1:14:37Yeah. And he's not going to get as
- 1:14:39much credit either. Like it was the Vikings GM or
- 1:14:41the Vikings fans like him for. Oh he didn't keep her cousins
- 1:14:44when Kirk cousin got hurt in Atlanta but Meanwhile your
- 1:14:47quarterback just got hurt too so the same things.
- 1:14:48You granted. The quarter, the GM for.
- 1:14:51You can't blame him for. All right, O'Connell elevated
- 1:14:54Kirk Cousins, back to what he was in Washington when he was
- 1:14:56there. Yeah.
- 1:14:57When after Zimmer got fired and then oh you're gonna Elevate the
- 1:15:01defense, know, Brian Flores, elevated.
- 1:15:02The defense you didn't Elevate the defense Quest say like it's
- 1:15:05gonna be the same effect either. And by the way, hooks Nation, we
- 1:15:07know that you can't sign until the Super Bowl is over.
- 1:15:10We said that if you listen to our taking the beginning but you
- 1:15:13just popped in. So it's okay man.
- 1:15:14But we Read all your posts and and we will answer all your
- 1:15:18posts throughout the show. We're rooting for you guys too.
- 1:15:21We're not ready for the Patriots.
- 1:15:22So I think Seattle is absolutely favorite.
- 1:15:26And by the way, everybody asked me, What is the worst thing you
- 1:15:28would want to see in a Super Bowl?
- 1:15:30You don't want to see and as much as I like Sam Sam Donald
- 1:15:33and I've routed for Sam Donaldson.
- 1:15:34He's been drafted, I don't want to see the Jets mix up and
- 1:15:38watch. Sam Donald win, a Super Bowl and
- 1:15:40hoist that Lombardi trophy. I don't want to see it, but I'm
- 1:15:42rooting for Sam, Donald over the Patriots in their ghosts.
- 1:15:46I can't the Patriots and I do not want to see the Patriots
- 1:15:50win. Just think of it this way, the
- 1:15:51Seahawks get rid of jabal out of them.
- 1:15:53They would have Super Bowl after two years.
- 1:15:55It's like watching the Patriots and the Giants play in the Super
- 1:15:57Bowl in 2007, and 2011. As a Jet fan, that was me the
- 1:16:02Eagles, you know what, I don't want to see that and I mean and
- 1:16:04I'm an eagles guy too. So I loved watching Eagles beat
- 1:16:08the hell out of the Patriots in the Super Bowl when they did.
- 1:16:11But I the fact here is, if I'm a Seattle Seahawks fan, I'm
- 1:16:16thinking the Minnesota Vikings, absolutely thanking them not
- 1:16:20signing Sam or even try and even pitch, Sam, Donald and
- 1:16:23opportunity to be the starting quarterback for the next three
- 1:16:26years and let JJ. Coffee sit behind him.
- 1:16:28I think it was an absolute slam dunk.
- 1:16:32This is the coaching Carousel Errol.
- 1:16:34Let's get right into the coach. The rest of the coaching hires,
- 1:16:38we're getting into some coordinators that are kind of
- 1:16:40fascinating the bills. After they hired or promoted
- 1:16:43rather, Joe Brady, they filled out their coordinators right
- 1:16:49now, taking a look at it. Pete Carmichael was the Broncos
- 1:16:52senior of offensive assistant and before that with the Saints,
- 1:16:56we know that is a Sean Payton guy, right?
- 1:17:00So Sean Payton guy gets promoted and he began becomes offensive
- 1:17:04coordinator. I'm assuming, it'll still be
- 1:17:07Brady calling the plays but we'll see what happens with
- 1:17:09that. And then Jim Leonard, former
- 1:17:11jet, obviously former Bill, and now he is the defensive
- 1:17:16coordinator of the bills. A lot of people very high on
- 1:17:18Leonard in this cycle Arrow. All right.
- 1:17:20Carmichael is a slam dog. First of all, Sean, Payton, you
- 1:17:24know, he's gonna bring that Playbook over there.
- 1:17:26Sean, Payton is one of the best offensive Minds in the NFL and,
- 1:17:29and a guy like Carmichael's been following Sean Payne for the
- 1:17:32last six. Seven years has an opportunity
- 1:17:34to finally be the guy that's calling the place.
- 1:17:37I think it's a slam dunk. The Jim Leonard thing.
- 1:17:39I love what scares me about. Jim Leonard is if the Jets fire
- 1:17:43Aaron Clan, that's the guy that jets are gonna be looking at
- 1:17:45100% because a couple of years ago, there were stories coming
- 1:17:49out that the judge wanted to hire Jim Leonard, they
- 1:17:52interviewed John Leonard and they really, really liked him.
- 1:17:54And this is a guy that's been coaching college football,
- 1:17:56Wisconsin. I think it was And this is a guy
- 1:18:00that's very well respected around the league.
- 1:18:01He was a great safety. I remember when he came to the
- 1:18:04Jets and he had the opportunity to succeed over there with the
- 1:18:07New York Jets, that was when Rex Ryan brought him in and that's
- 1:18:10what when the defense was Elite of the elite in the NFL.
- 1:18:14Now, here's the thing, I don't know what Brady is, but he
- 1:18:18brings in two competent, coaches, Carmichael and Leonard.
- 1:18:21He doesn't have to worry about the defensive side of the ball
- 1:18:23because I think Jim Leonard is very confident at that position.
- 1:18:26I'm just, I'm wondering how Josh Allen is going to fall into
- 1:18:30place with a Carmichael calling. The place.
- 1:18:32Is it Joe? Brady call in the place or is it
- 1:18:34Carmichael and that means Josh, Allen is going to have to sit
- 1:18:37back and understand the verbiage in a new season on with the
- 1:18:41Buffalo Bills under a new offensive coordinator.
- 1:18:43That's the only thing that's scares me bringing a Carmichael
- 1:18:46I would have brought in a guy that knows Josh Allen and knows
- 1:18:49this Brady offense more than I would have brought in a guy that
- 1:18:52knows you know a Sean Payton offense with a veteran quoted
- 1:18:56back that was very comfortable over there with the buffalo.
- 1:18:59Bills. Yeah I think outside of the
- 1:19:00elements of Josh Allen running the ball, the rest of the
- 1:19:03offensive, the way that bills have been running in the last
- 1:19:06couple years. But after they traded eggs,
- 1:19:07after they got rid of all of these other receivers as a lot
- 1:19:10like what you see with Sean Payton and Sean Payton Saints,
- 1:19:12offense is two running back set. So even later in the season
- 1:19:15James, Uh, James Cook even be. Spelled out sometimes for Ray
- 1:19:19Davis, and Ty Johnson, guys like that.
- 1:19:20And then you have the two tight ends that was knocks and
- 1:19:22Kincaid. So, I think it's a really good
- 1:19:23fit for what the Saints did with Carmichael there, and then, the
- 1:19:26receivers they're all right. Now, bigger, bodied receivers,
- 1:19:28there's a lot of the guys that they had with the Saints over
- 1:19:30there so I could definitely see that working in Gemini.
- 1:19:32I agree with you. If the Jets don't poach him as a
- 1:19:34head coaching candidate, it's gonna happen.
- 1:19:35I don't want to bring as much as I like Jim Leonard.
- 1:19:38I don't want another rookie coach, but I think schematically
- 1:19:40speaking, I think Jim Leonard is a good guy for what the bill.
- 1:19:42I think you need a little bit of an adjustment and more of a
- 1:19:44creative type defense. I think it's a very good move.
- 1:19:47All right, well speaking of what the Jets are gonna do.
- 1:19:50I'm gonna put up, I had Giants up here just gonna fit it, but
- 1:19:53Giants and jets, they both are still looking for an offensive
- 1:19:57coordinator. Bunch of names have been picked
- 1:19:58up and they can no longer get them.
- 1:20:01Davis Webb was promoted to offensive coordinator for the
- 1:20:05Broncos, so he gets to stay there.
- 1:20:07Peyton keeps his guy. A lot of people are looking at
- 1:20:10Davis. Webb, former Giants quarterback,
- 1:20:11obviously back up, didn't really do anything.
- 1:20:15There's some other names that have been bouncing around that
- 1:20:19just got picked up that we can't go for Jonathan Gannon on the
- 1:20:22defensive side, goes to the Packers Gus Bradley blast from
- 1:20:26the past, there goes to the Titan's.
- 1:20:28So Salah Bradley and Dave ball. What a staff that is?
- 1:20:32Well, talk about some of the other ones, but here's the list.
- 1:20:36I have for people, the Giants are looking at and then the
- 1:20:40Jets. So let's start with the Giants
- 1:20:42of Giants. At the top of this list, is
- 1:20:43Kliff, Kingsbury. Looks like the Giants are going
- 1:20:46to be interviewing him. They already have interviewed
- 1:20:48him remotely. It might be getting a second
- 1:20:51interview. Brian Callahan, fired head coach
- 1:20:53from the Titans last year, obviously known for his work,
- 1:20:56with the offense of line at like his father offensive coordinator
- 1:21:00Jim Bob Cooter. It might be looking at, they
- 1:21:04might be trying to give him some money to take him away from the
- 1:21:06Colts and ironically, Daniel Jones.
- 1:21:09Which is just what a full circle moment.
- 1:21:11That would be then I think Alex Taney another giant from the
- 1:21:17blaster in the past another quarterback coach.
- 1:21:20I don't know if Sheilas was signed yet a speedy.
- 1:21:25I don't think Sheila us. All right, that's another Rams
- 1:21:29guy. That's another McVay guy.
- 1:21:30He's the passing game coordinator over there, so
- 1:21:33that's usually a step below, offensive coordinator.
- 1:21:35And then the name that really intrigues me off of how, well,
- 1:21:40he did with Ole Miss running that team.
- 1:21:43A lot of people are interested in Charlie Weis, Jr.
- 1:21:46As in interesting out of the box, maybe cheap.
- 1:21:52Candidate. So, that's what the Giants,
- 1:21:53have. Any thoughts on the Giants?
- 1:21:55First before we get to the giant?
- 1:21:56I mean, Kingsbury's the guy, if he's coming in for a second
- 1:21:59interview, that more than likely, he's the guy that the
- 1:22:01Giants are shooting for, if they strike out on him because I know
- 1:22:05the Jets are interesting, King Sperry, maybe they interview for
- 1:22:08him, interview him. I I know he's on the list, he's
- 1:22:11always been on the list list for the Jets.
- 1:22:13I I don't know if you wants to be coaching with Aaron Glenn and
- 1:22:16now that John Harbaugh is there, and he's gonna be there for the
- 1:22:19long run. I think King's burial feel more
- 1:22:21comfortable coaching under John Harbaugh.
- 1:22:23That would be more likely. I wise has has a connection with
- 1:22:28the New York Giants. So it would make a lot of sense.
- 1:22:31Charlie was his been, you know, he's and jaxson dart and jaxson
- 1:22:35dart. So it would make a lot of sense
- 1:22:36that Charlie was Junior, would be a guy that they would
- 1:22:38interview. But I I think it's, I think it's
- 1:22:42Kingsbury. If I were the Giants, I'm going
- 1:22:44with Kingsbury I'm gonna I was soon as he comes in for that.
- 1:22:47If you don't let him leave my I don't let it leave the office.
- 1:22:50I make sure that I give him a cont.
- 1:22:52So if you want Jackson tar to develop because Kingsbury next
- 1:22:56year is getting a job. One way or another.
- 1:22:58This guy is one of the best offensive Minds Washington
- 1:23:00should have never let him go. I was very surprised that
- 1:23:04happened and I think Kingsbury has been in that division the
- 1:23:07NFC East for the last couple of years.
- 1:23:09I think he is a cot it is a accomplished offensive
- 1:23:12coordinator and probably the best offensive coordinator.
- 1:23:14It's still available right now. Yeah I definitely think he's
- 1:23:16number one on that list. You want to think that with the
- 1:23:18Giants having issues with the wide receiver position right
- 1:23:20now, you want somebody that could space that offense
- 1:23:23Kingsbury, did that with Washington even before they
- 1:23:25traded for Depo Samuel, the following year, they got guys
- 1:23:28that helped Jayden Daniels out and they're gonna need this kind
- 1:23:31of thing with Jackson. Dark is like the Giants.
- 1:23:33Are not gonna have Malik Neighbors at the beginning of
- 1:23:34the Season, they're not gonna wander offensive because they're
- 1:23:36people to pay him. So they're gonna need to make
- 1:23:38something work with. He's gonna get himself a lot of
- 1:23:39money next. Yeah, yes.
- 1:23:40And I don't think it's heavy from the Giants because they're
- 1:23:42only 11 million dollars and they'll probably have to trade
- 1:23:44it though. So we're, you know, we're just
- 1:23:47in a undersized slot receiver away from winning.
- 1:23:51So, yeah. Show it out for him.
- 1:23:53Isn't he unrestricted? Tip at all?
- 1:23:56He gave me, they could trade himself here, but I don't think
- 1:23:59they'll be able to sign. They're not gonna get much for
- 1:24:01him. What do you think they're gonna
- 1:24:02get? It's not true.
- 1:24:02He actually played the straw last.
- 1:24:05Stop fish know, they're talking about.
- 1:24:07He second round. There's no way they're getting a
- 1:24:10second, right? There's no way.
- 1:24:11They're getting a second round draft pick for him.
- 1:24:12You want to give them away if they had why first off, remember
- 1:24:16how the Giants had Kiwanuka, human Yura and Strahan or talk
- 1:24:22rather? Yeah, the three of them that was
- 1:24:25not getting us. That can be that, like, 33%
- 1:24:29price up for all right? That they're gonna keep him
- 1:24:32because there's no way they're getting a second round draft
- 1:24:33pick for him. I don't think he's a three down
- 1:24:36guy. I think you like him and
- 1:24:37rundowns. I think you can get away with
- 1:24:39him in a second round. Draft pick for a one, down
- 1:24:43player, come on. No, I'm saying, you can't use
- 1:24:46them. You don't want to use them as,
- 1:24:48like, a pass rush guy because he doesn't seem to be that, but
- 1:24:51he's been really good against Iran.
- 1:24:53He's one of the actually in the top quartile Which is weird
- 1:24:56because I had the opposite problem beginning of his career.
- 1:24:58They'd be lucky. He's really struggling the
- 1:25:00option stuff. They always got him on options.
- 1:25:02They'd be lucky to get a third round draft pick for him, they
- 1:25:06that might play out in the next couple of weeks or next month.
- 1:25:10Or so as we get to it, let's talk back about the Jets.
- 1:25:13Now, Kingsbury's not on this list because I think he turned
- 1:25:15them down. There's been a lot of that
- 1:25:17Errol. A lot of just saying no to the
- 1:25:19Jets. Here's the names that are up
- 1:25:21that I'm seeing Greg Roman. All right obviously former
- 1:25:26Chargers offensive coordinator was let go.
- 1:25:28They did not do well offensively this year but I said they lost
- 1:25:30their tackles. He's been on the leaf forever.
- 1:25:33Another guy that's been around forever.
- 1:25:34Darrell Bevell He's most recently with the dolphins as a
- 1:25:39passing game coordinator, and a quarterback coach, Frank Reich.
- 1:25:41Might be the most high-profile name of these guys.
- 1:25:45Former Colts and Panthers head coach, obviously offensive
- 1:25:48coordinator for a long time. Gets credited for what the
- 1:25:52Carson Wentz run that ended up being fulls, Ronald Curry, the
- 1:25:55bills QB, coach and London Wells, the Cowboys tight end
- 1:25:59Coach. That's not a murderer's role.
- 1:26:01You don't answer it. You don't know what is a
- 1:26:04murderer's row and of course you know that for everybody to know
- 1:26:08that fish is a giant fan so he would do anything to throw the
- 1:26:12Jets on the bus. So that's bad though bro.
- 1:26:14Really Frank Wright is not a bad offensive coordinator.
- 1:26:18He has been an accomplished offensive coin.
- 1:26:20A want a Super Bowl with the Eagles?
- 1:26:21I like Frank Wright? I think Frank Wright is the guy
- 1:26:24that the Jets are going to interview again, they are
- 1:26:27interviewing Roman 2 but I think it's Frank Wright.
- 1:26:30I Frank Wright. Almost became the coach of the
- 1:26:32New York Jets before Robert solow.
- 1:26:34They really liked him. I I I don't think you'll ever be
- 1:26:37a coach in the NFL again. He's been coaching in the NCAA
- 1:26:40has been coaching college football.
- 1:26:42This is an accomplished offensive coordinator.
- 1:26:44And again, I don't think it's a bad list.
- 1:26:47I don't think it's an, a great list.
- 1:26:49I don't think that Giants list is great.
- 1:26:51Okay. Kingsbury's, the only one and
- 1:26:53that's fine. Kingsbury don't want to coach
- 1:26:55unto Aaron Glenn. It's that's fine Grant.
- 1:26:57Well, we'll see how he coaches under John Harbaugh.
- 1:27:01Who's just, you know, just as much of a meat head when it
- 1:27:05comes to yelling at his coaches, is any of the coaches?
- 1:27:08He's ever worked for including Mr. Quinn.
- 1:27:11So, who he didn't work out with, and everybody keeps saying that
- 1:27:15him and Dan Quinn were very good and they were closed, really.
- 1:27:17Because one of the main reasons, why he got, let go was because
- 1:27:20him and dank win. Couldn't get along in the locker
- 1:27:22room. So, Kingsbury is a is a
- 1:27:25personality. I like Kingsbury.
- 1:27:27I like him as an offense of coin.
- 1:27:28Are I think if the Giants land them, it's a good.
- 1:27:31It's a good pick. But again, I know giant fans
- 1:27:34think that Jackson's already. Is the guy but what is he proven
- 1:27:37this year? That it can move out of the
- 1:27:39pocket and make a couple of throws and now they're they're
- 1:27:41going into a season with a wide receiver that might not be back
- 1:27:45until week six weeks, seven might not even starting at the
- 1:27:48beginning of the Season. You're losing Rottweiler,
- 1:27:51Robertson and now you're going to be probably drafting like
- 1:27:54another wide receiver and Tate who can't stay healthy.
- 1:27:56So good. Look to the Giants and Kingsbury
- 1:27:58if that goes that way. And by the way, Scout, a boo,
- 1:28:01who's a running back. That just had his leg bent in
- 1:28:05five, six games of the Season, which I told you was gonna
- 1:28:07happen. So what are the Giants have
- 1:28:08offensively going to a season? If you bringing Kingsbury, if
- 1:28:12Kingsbury wants that job, good for him, it's not gonna work.
- 1:28:15Yeah, it's interesting. What I would say away from the
- 1:28:17last two candidates you mentioned fish, curry was a
- 1:28:19former NFL receiver. That's now a quarterback coach
- 1:28:20was receiver with the Raiders and then tight end coach from
- 1:28:23the cowboy seems like a definitely a big it's either
- 1:28:25bevel or right. Yeah bevels interesting because
- 1:28:27I was never crazy about him with Seattle but I think since he
- 1:28:29left Seattle went to Detroit and one of the Super Bowl.
- 1:28:31Yeah, I know but I always saw this play calling was very weird
- 1:28:34but really Because it wasn't Pete, Carroll call in the place,
- 1:28:37he's a defensive mind, Russell Wilson, had a very unique
- 1:28:41offense, I think is probably part of it, but I, I do think
- 1:28:44his play calling in Detroit, was very good, though.
- 1:28:45I think once he left there, Seattle, I think they took that
- 1:28:47offense to another level, which didn't have a lot of talent in
- 1:28:50that map for Tricia era where they never drafted very well at
- 1:28:52all that TJ Hawkinson and then the go to Miami, which they've
- 1:28:55had a lot of catfish. I think he doesn't done pretty
- 1:28:57well there. So I think Frank Reich would be
- 1:28:59my favorite of those three candidates over Bethel.
- 1:29:01Greg, Roman I think would only happen if they keep Justin
- 1:29:04Fields, but see what the organization's gonna far away
- 1:29:06with him. If Greg Roman comes, the guy I
- 1:29:07would keep field. Why not?
- 1:29:08And not draft a quarterback this year, right?
- 1:29:10Like one of the few guys in NFL history that got two head
- 1:29:14coaching jobs and got fired and one year in both of them.
- 1:29:17That doesn't mean anything. Yeah, I'm just say I'm just
- 1:29:20saying like there's a lot of you want to, you want to throw that
- 1:29:23out of him? He was an accomplished offensive
- 1:29:25know but you know look you guys rise and guys fall, you know,
- 1:29:29and sometimes it's it you know, I don't know if it is, we'll see
- 1:29:33what happens. I it's definitely an
- 1:29:35interesting. On there's another coordinator
- 1:29:37that got hired that the Giants had once upon a time.
- 1:29:41And we all liked and we didn't want to see him go, but we got
- 1:29:44tired of his own zone defense, and he wasn't blitzing enough
- 1:29:47like, oh, we need wink. Oh, well, the Steelers decided
- 1:29:52to hire Patrick Graham if Errol if you like what Bill Belichick
- 1:29:57did defensively you like what Patrick Graham does defensively
- 1:30:00because he's a Belichick disciple.
- 1:30:02He's giving you the multiple fronts.
- 1:30:04He's giving you the three four. He's giving you Zone.
- 1:30:07He's giving you confusing. Looks, he's doing everything
- 1:30:10that, you know, Belichick would have done, but he's doing it
- 1:30:14today and it's a good defense, he's been strong with bad
- 1:30:20offenses, he's still been confident over there.
- 1:30:23I think this is a great hire. What do you guys think about?
- 1:30:26Here's the thing to Stealers I would have I would have
- 1:30:29interviewed Mayo too Mayo was I think he got a bad stick from
- 1:30:33the Patriots? They fired him.
- 1:30:34They brought in my Gravel this guy was a good defensive
- 1:30:37coordinator with the New England.
- 1:30:38Patriots actually, one of the best defenses in the league on
- 1:30:41Bill Belichick. When he was there with mayo.
- 1:30:44I, I think I would have interviewed him just as much as
- 1:30:47I would have in it, and if you Patrick Graham, it's unfortunate
- 1:30:50what the Patriots did to him. And what I, again, Robert Kraft
- 1:30:53has done to coaches over the years after Bill Belichick.
- 1:30:56And, and that to me is a big problem now.
- 1:30:58I think Patrick Graham is a good coach.
- 1:31:01He's a good defensive coordinator.
- 1:31:02He's going to be a coach sometime in the next couple of
- 1:31:05years. I just questioned you bring in
- 1:31:07Mike McCarthy. I think you I should.
- 1:31:10I would have brought in a Mike McCarthy guy.
- 1:31:12I'm not bringing in some other team and another guy from
- 1:31:15another organization that I don't know much about.
- 1:31:17I think Mike McCarthy should have went with a guy that he
- 1:31:20knows a little bit about. That's just my opinion.
- 1:31:22I don't bring in a guy, I don't know much about.
- 1:31:24I'm only hiring oh because he's been good with the Patriots and
- 1:31:27he knows his stuff and he worked with Bill Belichick.
- 1:31:30That's the only thing that worries me about this higher.
- 1:31:32It's a good higher but we'll see how that works.
- 1:31:34Yeah, I always thought he was pretty good with this first year
- 1:31:36with the Giants year. Two was a little iffy, but I
- 1:31:38think a lot of that to do with the free agent flops, at the
- 1:31:40Giants had at the end of gentleman's tenure too bringing
- 1:31:42bringing a Dory Jackson and over Paying a lot of those other
- 1:31:45linebackers inside. Before they drafted, a bunch of
- 1:31:48the next year. I think Graham with the Raiders
- 1:31:50though, did very well, Mitch Josh, McDaniels dysfunction, and
- 1:31:53actually they had a confident that 2022 year.
- 1:31:55The first year, they were there actually competitive because of
- 1:31:57their defense. So I think there was actually
- 1:31:59some encouragement with it. Yeah, I think Mayo's definitely
- 1:32:01an interesting one that they could have looked at.
- 1:32:02So now, the question is, Mike McCarthy?
- 1:32:04Is there any familiarity with the rest of the Dallas, defense,
- 1:32:06left or Green Bay? They just jumped on Capers the
- 1:32:08whole time. So do you want somebody out
- 1:32:09there? He wants.
- 1:32:10Somebody modern, that's the question.
- 1:32:11All right, let's move on to one of your favorite Cheryl our
- 1:32:15buddy Raheem Morris lost. His job is the Falcons head
- 1:32:18coach, super amount of Talent on that Atlanta team.
- 1:32:21They could not tolerate his lack of winning games but he had
- 1:32:26always been successful as a defensive coordinator.
- 1:32:29He most recently, was his offensive coordinator of the
- 1:32:32Rams when they won the Super Bowl with Aaron.
- 1:32:34Donald and he had always been one of those guys that likes a
- 1:32:38lot of beef inside. He wants to run some bearings.
- 1:32:41He wants to run you know, three Big lineman out there at all
- 1:32:46times. Have guys blitzing from
- 1:32:48different angles and he's going to be, you know, a little bit
- 1:32:51more aggressive than other guys, which kind of fits with that
- 1:32:55kind of turnover mentality that they want in San Francisco.
- 1:32:59I love the higher. I love the heart.
- 1:33:02I'm not a San Francisco 49ers fan, but Raheem Morris is a
- 1:33:05great defensive coin as he's been an accomplished defensive
- 1:33:08coordinator, I don't think he'll ever be a coach in the NFL
- 1:33:11again, I think his time as an NFL coach and let's see he he's
- 1:33:15a coach or a defensive coordinator under a Kyle
- 1:33:18Shanahan for the next five years.
- 1:33:19I don't know if Kyle Shanahan might be on the hot seat this
- 1:33:22year, I think. So, if and Raheem Morris took
- 1:33:25this job because he thinks if he thinks he could fix this now, he
- 1:33:28does have Bowser coming back. He does have Warner coming back.
- 1:33:31This team could be an elite defense and could be a contender
- 1:33:35next year that I don't know where their schedule lies next
- 1:33:38year especially but this team was a top three team.
- 1:33:42They made it into the playoffs and got their asses whipped by
- 1:33:45Seattle and Robert Saleh as much as everybody liked what Robert
- 1:33:48solid did in that game. Robert saw looked like a deer in
- 1:33:51a headlights he didn't know what the hell he was doing.
- 1:33:53I think Ryan Morris is a better defensive coordinator.
- 1:33:56He uses his schemes. He uses more Blitz packages than
- 1:33:59Robert Salah I think he's more Accomplished as a defensive
- 1:34:02coordinator. Then a Robert Saleh is I love
- 1:34:05this side. I think this is the best higher.
- 1:34:06Yeah, I like it for this reason especially with when he was the
- 1:34:10Rams. He had a lot of random guys.
- 1:34:12They had obviously the stars with Donald Ramsay and Leonard.
- 1:34:14Floyd guys like that Bob Mueller they traded for, but I think the
- 1:34:17gain those random rookies to work in that scheme, really help
- 1:34:20the Rams be a good enough defense at that time as quickly
- 1:34:23as they were early in the season.
- 1:34:24And then with Atlanta last year, look at the rookie class that
- 1:34:26they had with the two pass rushers.
- 1:34:28Also Xavier Watts Billy Bowman, as a corner, the Niners, have a
- 1:34:31lot of rookies on that defense with Collins, with Alfred
- 1:34:33Collins, with Michael Williams. We talked about at the draft
- 1:34:35time fish and a lot of those young Corners at emerged this
- 1:34:37year in solid defense they're gonna have to play a lot of
- 1:34:40those guys these guys keep getting hurt and this is just
- 1:34:42team this getting older. So I really like it as well.
- 1:34:44I think it makes a lot of sense. He has a lot of familiarity with
- 1:34:47Shanahan going back to Atlanta going back to Washington.
- 1:34:50Like they've been together for a very, very long time working,
- 1:34:54you know, it's even though he's not an offensive coach having
- 1:34:57that familiarity and that working relationship with the
- 1:35:00other side of the ball. It's An underrated thing.
- 1:35:02So I'm pretty I think that's a great move by them and let's go
- 1:35:06to one more I have here. Which is your second favorite
- 1:35:10team Errol to very interesting higher.
- 1:35:12Sean mannion was the quarterback coach over with Jordan love in
- 1:35:17Green Bay under the other LaFleur over there.
- 1:35:20The more successful the floor that seems to always have a very
- 1:35:23good record every single year in the regular season hasn't gotten
- 1:35:26done in the postseason. Maybe unlucky with injuries,
- 1:35:29maybe something else. We don't know yet, but we'll see
- 1:35:32how that plays out the Eagles. Now, get that try.
- 1:35:35From the new LaFleur tree. Sean mannion at offensive
- 1:35:40coordinator. All right, so syriani and
- 1:35:43mannion are very close. I've heard through the
- 1:35:45grapevine. These guys have been very
- 1:35:47connected over the years and Matt leflore and syriani
- 1:35:50actually like each other. So I think this is the one the
- 1:35:53reason why he brought in a minion and and this is been a
- 1:35:56problem. We'll season long last year was
- 1:35:58their offense and getting a guy, like Jalen hurts in position to
- 1:36:02be. That Elite quarterback that he
- 1:36:04was the year before you know under another coordinator.
- 1:36:07That's coaching the Saints right now.
- 1:36:08So I more is more kind of is like a man in a man's my like a
- 1:36:13more. He likes to use those different,
- 1:36:15you know, different wide, receiving spread out, right
- 1:36:19receivers and maybe this keeps brown.
- 1:36:21Maybe this makes brown a little happy or, and bring in a guy
- 1:36:24like this, who can spread out the offense and you Smith and
- 1:36:27more and brown in a different style of offense.
- 1:36:30I will say this, you look at the Green Bay Packers, this past
- 1:36:34year, and watch what they did offensively, how many wide
- 1:36:37receivers they had, they Had four or five wide receivers, and
- 1:36:39they spread out there orphans, with Dobbs with Watson with all
- 1:36:43the different guys that they had.
- 1:36:44I think this, this equals team they have a lot of weapons too,
- 1:36:49but they didn't spread out their offense.
- 1:36:50As a matter of fact, they traded some pizzas.
- 1:36:52They traded some wide receivers this season because they
- 1:36:55couldn't fit them in their offense.
- 1:36:56I think you bring in a minion, a Minion's gonna be able to use
- 1:36:59those style that kind of style that Matt leflore likes to use,
- 1:37:03spreading out his his talent and his speed demon guys into
- 1:37:07different positions and Slants and and different type of
- 1:37:10offense that it's going to work. So yeah, I was gonna say the
- 1:37:13tight ends too. With after Tucker before talk a
- 1:37:16cracked was looking very good in that system too.
- 1:37:18Luke Musgrave was a guy that was a draft pick the same year as
- 1:37:21craft. That looked pretty good at times
- 1:37:22and those receivers like they're like a rotation of five of them.
- 1:37:26I mean Green Bay that Philly. Again I think it's certain
- 1:37:28points when the passing game just wasn't working for them.
- 1:37:30They tried to force feed too much.
- 1:37:32A brown is the monster game. They traded one inch.
- 1:37:34Yeah she was actually yeah. And went to the Jets play.
- 1:37:38I pretty well played pretty good with the Jets.
- 1:37:39Yeah, I missed all the quarterback, the issues that
- 1:37:41they had. And again, they couldn't even
- 1:37:42get some of the other guys going.
- 1:37:44They had random sports with a shot John Dotson.
- 1:37:46But, like, it's still not enough where I think they needed
- 1:37:48enough. Another one of those guys to
- 1:37:50help the passing volume, the passing Concepts going into
- 1:37:52that. So I think it's good and that
- 1:37:53she was a pretty fairly high draft pick for the Philadelphia
- 1:37:56Eagles and they just let him go. They, I mean, they got Michael
- 1:38:00Carter, the second. But Michael Carter.
- 1:38:01All when he was traded to the Eagles, really wasn't a big part
- 1:38:05of their defense. So you traded a guy like me, who
- 1:38:08write his me? John Matthew who looked really
- 1:38:12good with the Jets? And could you imagine with with
- 1:38:14this kind of offense now with me and and the kind of offense that
- 1:38:18the, the Green Bay Packers like to run and spread out their wide
- 1:38:21receivers and use him in different packages, he would
- 1:38:23have fit like a glove maybe matching becomes a star in this
- 1:38:26office. Yeah.
- 1:38:27And the other thing I think is he was with Minnesota.
- 1:38:29I forget if it was with Kobe act or O'Connell at the beginning of
- 1:38:32a bow, he was a little bit but he was the backup quarterback
- 1:38:34with cousins over there too. You could see a lot of those
- 1:38:36Concepts being brought into There as well.
- 1:38:38Which I just think the Eagles needed a little more than just a
- 1:38:41one style of passing offense that they had last year because
- 1:38:43it seemed like it just got look at Watson's numbers this year on
- 1:38:48demanding. Look at look at his offensive
- 1:38:50numbers. I mean he's a free agent this
- 1:38:52year Watson's gonna get a lot of money because of the Season he
- 1:38:56had, he is a number one. He is a number one now and teams
- 1:38:59like the eagles teams like I couldn't, I could see the Eagles
- 1:39:03making a move for a lot, they trade Brown.
- 1:39:05Yeah. 100 they, they could bring in Watson over there and that
- 1:39:08offense and use him as their number one.
- 1:39:10Guy Smith will be a good number two, and a slot guy.
- 1:39:13I think Watson's more bigger and more stronger than a guy like
- 1:39:16Smith. So I I wouldn't be surprised if
- 1:39:19the Eagles lands in some part this off season, the whole AJ
- 1:39:23Brown thing is, what's hanging over that?
- 1:39:26Holy Eagles roster. Right now, what are they gonna
- 1:39:28do? Can they get it to work out?
- 1:39:30Can have a come to, you know, Come To Poppa meeting.
- 1:39:33You just like work out all of our problems because I could
- 1:39:37say, Christian Watson, that guy's never had a healthy
- 1:39:39season. His entire career.
- 1:39:40He doesn't stay healthy. He only played a few games.
- 1:39:43He was great in the games he played, but he doesn't stay
- 1:39:46healthy and you need to be available AJ, Brown is built
- 1:39:48like a tank and AJ Brown had a really good second half of the
- 1:39:52season. He had a terrible first half of
- 1:39:55the season, but that's, you know, I think it's more issues
- 1:39:57that they need to work out more than he can't play AJ Brown.
- 1:40:01Still an elite receiver in this league.
- 1:40:02They need to find a way to keep them and add something around
- 1:40:06the periphery. They that team functions because
- 1:40:08of AJ Brown and Devonta Smith being two of the best receivers
- 1:40:12in the league. I think, I think what they
- 1:40:14forgot is they have an elusive Elite running back who wasn't
- 1:40:18touching the ball enough and what he likes to do running the
- 1:40:21book because he had Jacobs last year, you have even a better
- 1:40:24running back in a guy like saquon Barkley can do so much
- 1:40:27more things than Jacobs can. So I think this is, this fits
- 1:40:31like a glove and and syriani needs this to work.
- 1:40:34Because if it doesn't he's gonna be looking for a job at the end
- 1:40:37of the season. Yeah.
- 1:40:38That was the other one. We were hearing, you know, a lot
- 1:40:39of people turned down syriana. Surprisingly, this off season,
- 1:40:43the work with him, we heard the Jets a little bit, but we heard
- 1:40:46a lot of Siri honesty stuff. I mean, you hear that because
- 1:40:49he's just so unlikable as a person as a Giants fan.
- 1:40:53Like, he just, it's just so fun to go in there, even if it like
- 1:40:57ruins our draft position. That's when we finally beat
- 1:40:59them. It was wonderful.
- 1:41:01I loved it. I loved every second.
- 1:41:03Oh, quiet. I don't want to hear you
- 1:41:05terrible. We're terrible.
- 1:41:07And we shouldn't be able to beat you guys.
- 1:41:09So I, you know, hopefully, your Eagles can under manual be more
- 1:41:15confident offensively, all right, ladies and gentlemen, my
- 1:41:19Golf Club of the week. Deserves a gulf Clan?
- 1:41:24No doubt of God's plan. Now, ladies and gentlemen, this
- 1:41:30was an interesting, interesting story.
- 1:41:32If you're a basketball fan or a 76er fan, which I'm not, but
- 1:41:37there's a lot of 76er fans out there that are probably shaking
- 1:41:41their heads to this story. The NBA has suspended Paul
- 1:41:47George, 25 games because of a substance he was using now.
- 1:41:52They don't know, or they has it come out, what kind of substance
- 1:41:56it was? I would think it was steroids or
- 1:41:59human growth hormones. The problem right now is, is
- 1:42:02Paul George can't stay on the court?
- 1:42:04He made himself a lot of money and ever since he broke his leg
- 1:42:08with Team USA, he's not been the same player.
- 1:42:11Now, he's been in a lead player. He made himself a lot of money
- 1:42:13and and obviously he's bounced from one team to another.
- 1:42:17He was with the Clippers and now he's with the 76ers, the guy
- 1:42:21can't stay healthy. As a matter of fact, I don't
- 1:42:23even remember the last game, the last season that he played 60 or
- 1:42:26more games in a season and when you when you see these kind of
- 1:42:30injuries it starts to make you think can this guy stay healthy
- 1:42:33and the amount of money. This guy's making I think he's
- 1:42:36making over 40 million dollars a year and this guy don't even
- 1:42:38play 60, 60 games, I don't even think he plays 50 games in a
- 1:42:43season. What he was probably thinking
- 1:42:44going into the season, as I gotta stay healthy.
- 1:42:46I gotta make sure that I could be a part of this roster.
- 1:42:49So either one, I can make more money or I could be traded to a
- 1:42:53roster where I can win a championship with.
- 1:42:55By the way, Paul George has never won a championship, no
- 1:42:58matter where he's gone. He's been an unaccomplished NBA
- 1:43:01champion because he can't win championship.
- 1:43:04Ships. He's gone as far as saying I
- 1:43:05think as an Easter Conference Finals and once with the West
- 1:43:08with the Clippers, yes. So he's never gone to an NBA
- 1:43:11championship and that tells me he's not a winning player.
- 1:43:14Now, that doesn't mean that Paul George can't get to that next
- 1:43:16level. That doesn't mean that Paul
- 1:43:18George doesn't have it in him to get to that next level.
- 1:43:20This guy is one of the best two-way players in the NBA.
- 1:43:23He's been one of the best two-way players in the NBA for
- 1:43:2510 years. When he is at the top of his
- 1:43:27game, he can offensively offensively can score your he
- 1:43:31could put 28 29 Points in the hole and he defensively.
- 1:43:35He could defend three, three positions.
- 1:43:37He could play. He could find one the two and
- 1:43:39three. He is his elusive defensively as
- 1:43:41any player we've seen. And could you imagine Kawhi
- 1:43:44Leonard and Paul George arguably, two of the top, five
- 1:43:47defensive players on a team where on the same roster with
- 1:43:50the clippers but they couldn't play together because both guys.
- 1:43:53Good stay healthy. If Kawaii was out, Paul George
- 1:43:56was in with Paul, George was how I was in, they barely played
- 1:44:00together. And and to me, that's why the
- 1:44:02Clippers were not Switched Western Conference team when
- 1:44:06both those players were on the same roster.
- 1:44:07I here's the here's another thing.
- 1:44:09You have to look at with the 76ers Joel and beat can't stay
- 1:44:12healthy. Tyrese Maxey, who's become a
- 1:44:14superstar? Honestly?
- 1:44:15Really all season long has been a top 10 player.
- 1:44:18Nobody gives him any credit because the 76ers are really not
- 1:44:21a good roster, not a good team because it can't stay healthy.
- 1:44:24And again, we've heard problems with the fans, the fan base,
- 1:44:28They Don't Really pack out the stadium, as we all know, the
- 1:44:31next situation when they the Knicks played them in the
- 1:44:34playoffs. What was it a year ago years ago
- 1:44:37when the next the next sold out practically the whole then it
- 1:44:40fans sold out that whole Arena and then you had Joel and beat
- 1:44:43at the end of the game saying that, where are my 76er fans?
- 1:44:45This is just absolutely terrible to see that there are more Nick
- 1:44:49fans at the game than 76 show fans.
- 1:44:51It just tells you one thing about this organization in his
- 1:44:53team, they have a very good owner, an owner that owns three,
- 1:44:58professional teams. He owns a basketball team, a
- 1:45:00football team, and a hockey, team Harris.
- 1:45:03And Who also was on the, you know, the list, the Epstein
- 1:45:06list. That's a whole nother story, you
- 1:45:09know, but I the fact he is is I look at the 76ers situation and
- 1:45:14with the Paul George situation, it's not going to get any
- 1:45:17better. And even if Paul George sits out
- 1:45:19for the 25th and I'm gonna take my, I'm gonna take my lips, I'm
- 1:45:25gonna take my, you know, straps, I'm gonna come back and I'm
- 1:45:28gonna be come back as a better player.
- 1:45:30Problem is just Paul, George has not come back as a better
- 1:45:33player, the guy doesn't play more than 30 minutes, a game
- 1:45:36when you're making 40 million dollars a year, you should be
- 1:45:38playing 35-36 minutes a game. He doesn't even come close to
- 1:45:42those minutes because of his injuries because of his, his
- 1:45:45situation and his unhealthy situation, it's been a big
- 1:45:48problem. And unfortunately, if I'm a 76,
- 1:45:51a fan right now, if Paul George gets back, I'm moving Joelle and
- 1:45:56bead and Paul George and adding another young Superstar to play
- 1:45:58with Tyrese Maxey. Move them.
- 1:46:00Both those guys because can't stay healthy and both of them
- 1:46:03all Both of them have more excuses than anybody I've ever
- 1:46:06seen in the NBA Errol. I got the games played for Paul
- 1:46:10George in his career. So the dating back to 20 in
- 1:46:142018-19, you played 77 games for the thunder.
- 1:46:17So as soon as you left for the Clippers, 48 games, 54 games, 31
- 1:46:23games, 56 games. And in his last year with the
- 1:46:27Clippers, he played 74, he only played half a season last year
- 1:46:3141 games. How much is he making?
- 1:46:35a lot and he's only played 27 games this year, let me look,
- 1:46:38pull it up, see what his salary is, but assuming it's a Max
- 1:46:42contract 51.6 million dollars this season to be If I have the
- 1:46:51air, if I'm the 76ers right now, going into the trade deadline, I
- 1:46:54know Paul George is out for 25 games.
- 1:46:56If I can move, Paul George and Joel embiid in a package, for a
- 1:47:01young stud, I would do that, I would absolutely do that because
- 1:47:04you're not winning a championship with this roster,
- 1:47:06you might not even make the playoffs with this roster.
- 1:47:09You might be a playing team, right?
- 1:47:11So, what I would do is I would trade my two veteran guys to a
- 1:47:15team. That is a contender, maybe the
- 1:47:17Lakers, maybe get Reeves. I could you imagine that you
- 1:47:21said you trade. Well, sir to though, you know,
- 1:47:23it doesn't matter on that sir. It doesn't matter.
- 1:47:25I bring if I were, If I Were the Lakers in the Lakers, have a
- 1:47:29chance to win a championship you have.
- 1:47:30Look at LeBron James for this list this last year, if LeBron
- 1:47:34James decides to come back or goes to another team, you have a
- 1:47:37chance to get Joe ellan bead and Paul George for a guy like
- 1:47:41Reeves and maybe somebody else. So it can kind of match the
- 1:47:44contracts maybe make it, make it make sense, 8 and back or
- 1:47:48something like Yeah, maybe a draft pick or something.
- 1:47:50You send you Ellen beat. And you said Paul George to the
- 1:47:55Lakers. You give the Lakers as much
- 1:47:57chances that they can for LeBron's last year to win a
- 1:48:01championship in the in the western conference.
- 1:48:03With with the powerhouses, they have over there and you'd send
- 1:48:06Reeves over there with a new team with Tyrese, Tyrese Maxey
- 1:48:10was a young stud and Reeves. Looking like, he's going to be a
- 1:48:13star in this league wherever he goes next year because they
- 1:48:15can't afford them next year so. And and remember LeBron James is
- 1:48:19off. He's off the the salary cap next
- 1:48:22year so they can afford Joel and B.
- 1:48:25They can afford Paul George on that roster with a luka doncic,
- 1:48:28it would make a lot of sense. Yeah.
- 1:48:30The Lakers are kind of stuck as it is, as it makes sense where
- 1:48:33they could just form that big three assuming that Luca wants
- 1:48:35and beaten Paul George there, I don't know, but that's all in
- 1:48:38the store, but yeah, LeBron I think Stephen has gone.
- 1:48:40Anyway, and Reeves are definitely not gonna be able to
- 1:48:42afford so Reeves with that. Make a lot of.
- 1:48:44That's the only team that I could see making a move like
- 1:48:47this or the Pelicans, because the Pelicans are that Dome.
- 1:48:50I mean, maybe Memphis John Marantz.
- 1:48:54John they're looking to move. John Moran is here and they were
- 1:48:56trying to shop Jaren Jackson. So maybe they were out of their
- 1:48:59minds. Sharon Jackson, Jaron Jackson is
- 1:49:02one of the best two-way players in the NBA and he's still very
- 1:49:05fairly young. What is he 28 years old?
- 1:49:07Yeah, he's in the prime of his career as a basket, not an
- 1:49:10amazing score, but a good pastor and a great defender.
- 1:49:12Honestly, I'm the Knicks. I'm looking at Jaron Jackson or
- 1:49:15I would, absolutely, yeah, I would look at him.
- 1:49:18You have all these pieces, you got all these Junction, McBride
- 1:49:21colic. I mean, you put a package, you
- 1:49:23bring in a Jared Jackson and maybe some draft stock.
- 1:49:26I, you know, in the future, I don't know how much they have
- 1:49:28left the next for the next five years, but they have it every
- 1:49:32other year. So I I would I would think that
- 1:49:35maybe looking at Jaron Jackson is a guy that he would fit like
- 1:49:38a glove with the neck. You probably won't have to give
- 1:49:39up maybe more than two and maybe just spaced out every three
- 1:49:42years or so. Well look Shaman is look good
- 1:49:45for the last couple of weeks and he's been a part of that the
- 1:49:48starting seven for the next, I think shamit would be a guy that
- 1:49:52the Knicks could move. He is a guy.
- 1:49:54That could shoot. He's I think he's shooting 38
- 1:49:5639% at the 3-point line, they move him McBride and Cole Lake,
- 1:50:02and maybe another player and maybe some draft picks, I think
- 1:50:06that would be a good move for the New York Knicks.
- 1:50:07You bring in Aaron Jackson. I yeah, it would be perfect and
- 1:50:11shot. It is been as good as any bench
- 1:50:14player. The next half even better than
- 1:50:16heart in the last couple of weeks is shootings, been great,
- 1:50:19you know, that effectively too open.
- 1:50:22And he's very pesky like very pesky plays within the system.
- 1:50:26He's just somebody who's been hurt again.
- 1:50:28He's just one of those guys who hasn't stayed healthy in his
- 1:50:31career, if he can just stay healthy enough to come off the
- 1:50:33bench and be that, that energy guy and hit those open shots
- 1:50:36when we're playing teams that just aren't rotating
- 1:50:39defensively. Because let's face it.
- 1:50:40There's a lot of these games This Time of the Season where
- 1:50:43teams are just not playing real defense in the NBA.
- 1:50:45That's why people don't like the NBA because it's just like these
- 1:50:47guys are chucking up threes because they're wide open,
- 1:50:50that's why they're taking the shot.
- 1:50:51Nobody's rotating on defense, nobody plays hard in the NBA
- 1:50:54until the playoffs. And that's why everybody says
- 1:50:57what's the bother of watching and NBA regular season game.
- 1:51:00Nobody cares about them. You already know who's going
- 1:51:03coming out of the East and coming out of the West, you
- 1:51:05ready? Know the top 14 in Eastern
- 1:51:07conference is, I mean, you can't be blind to see what's going on.
- 1:51:10Could you imagine the Celtics? They don't have their best
- 1:51:14player. He is out for the season terrain
- 1:51:16is Achilles and they're still which I'm talking about Jayson
- 1:51:19Tatum, they're still tied with the Knicks.
- 1:51:22I can place. It's pretty amazing.
- 1:51:24What they're doing. This might be the best coaching
- 1:51:26year. I think he's coaching the year
- 1:51:29right now. As far as I'm concerned from the
- 1:51:31Celtic, who's the guy from Missoula Missoula?
- 1:51:33Who's been a lot of people questioning Missoula, and how he
- 1:51:36coaches and, and really is it just the roster that makes
- 1:51:39Missoula such a great coach. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I
- 1:51:42would say this Missoula has been a good coach this year in Elite
- 1:51:45coach in the NBA and should deserves a lot of credit.
- 1:51:48For some of the accomplishments he's made so far with this this
- 1:51:52Celtic team which really only has two guys If you really look
- 1:51:55at it brown and white and white are the two best players and why
- 1:51:58he was a journeyman before he came to this roster.
- 1:52:01So it's been pretty amazing with the Celtics have done this year.
- 1:52:05It's ready for Josh Richardson at the time.
- 1:52:06I think was the one for one thing.
- 1:52:08You have the Sixth Man of the Year.
- 1:52:10Two on the pressure. Yeah.
- 1:52:11Prichard's been good too. So, yeah, they only have three
- 1:52:14guys and this last record is the next exact same records and died
- 1:52:18for second, and their roster is nowhere.
- 1:52:20Close to the next talents. So it just says a lot about
- 1:52:23what, what Missoula has done so far as the head coach of the
- 1:52:27Celtics? And, and again, I have taken
- 1:52:29shots at Missoula over the last three years, I think it's been
- 1:52:32his roster and why, why his team has been so good.
- 1:52:35I mean, you have porzingis a couple of years ago. 100%
- 1:52:38healthy with obviously Jayson, Tatum Jaylen brown and white.
- 1:52:42I mean, oh and yeah, Drew holiday on this roster as well,
- 1:52:45if you know, playing good basketball and that's why they
- 1:52:48won that Championship. I don't believe Missoula was the
- 1:52:51reason why they won that Championship, it was just the
- 1:52:52roster in Italian this year, the way they've played and how good
- 1:52:57they played in certain stretches.
- 1:52:59You have to give Missoula a little bit of credit.
- 1:53:01I think Missoula right now, if the season where to end was
- 1:53:03Julie is my coach at the year. so, and that ladies and
- 1:53:08gentlemen, is my golf club. Of the week.
- 1:53:12If they bring in Jared Jackson, they're going to have to move OG
- 1:53:15or Mikhail Bridges. They're gonna have to move one
- 1:53:18or the other and that would have to be.
- 1:53:20Because think about it. You can't have three guys that
- 1:53:24play the same position and I, and that's what they are.
- 1:53:27They're, they're all three guys that play the same position.
- 1:53:30I mean, oh, she's playing the three right now or is he a date?
- 1:53:33Me, but sometimes he's playing, he's playing a two.
- 1:53:36So I I think that, you know, Jaron Jackson's more like a
- 1:53:40three, four guy you're gonna is, he's a fourth.
- 1:53:44He plays four five. He's like a stretch for, I don't
- 1:53:46think he's alive Corner three, he's not he's six ten.
- 1:53:49He's six ten with crazy. Long arm protector.
- 1:53:51He's more. I I think Jaron Jackson's more
- 1:53:54of a forth three on the next on that roster.
- 1:53:58I think he's more for me. I don't think you can because
- 1:54:01you, if you have Bridges and Anna nobe, like those guys are
- 1:54:03gonna play, they're not gonna have a part.
- 1:54:05They're not gonna farts there too.
- 1:54:06And Sham it plays It Forward, you know, it's like four guys
- 1:54:11for that spot. That like, two, three, four.
- 1:54:13I think he's a four, five. They're gonna use him as a small
- 1:54:17ball five, if they, if they take them because you can't really do
- 1:54:21that with Mitch. Like, you can kind of try, but
- 1:54:23you can't run with Mitch. The only way they get him is if
- 1:54:26they fell to get yonis and I would make a lot of sense.
- 1:54:28He would be like the second guy they'd go.
- 1:54:30After I've been hearing they, they're after that they're
- 1:54:32looking at another big man. I forget his name, I forget what
- 1:54:36team he's playing for, but when we come back from break, I
- 1:54:39remember there was a there was a story coming out that the Knicks
- 1:54:41are interested in this particular kid, he's a big man
- 1:54:44and if they bringing honest they're going to have to go
- 1:54:46after another big because we don't know if Mitchell
- 1:54:50Robinson's gonna stay healthy enough to be ready for the
- 1:54:53playoffs. So very, very interesting.
- 1:54:54Anyways, let's go to a break when we come back ladies and
- 1:54:58Gentlemen, we should have quit and Cole's but first our
- 1:55:01Sportsmen with the fish. Sportsman ads.
- 1:55:08All right guys, Aaron Fishman here with your Sportsman, got a
- 1:55:12couple of stories. Before we get into the scores,
- 1:55:13this evening, the Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl
- 1:55:16favorites, this Sunday with around 75% of the money online.
- 1:55:20So far going towards them. As media week gets underway in
- 1:55:23San Francisco, for a Super Bowl, 60 Seahawks owner Joni Jodi
- 1:55:28Allen, his sister of late owner, Paul Allen, who was the
- 1:55:30co-founder of Microsoft, since his passing in 2018, the estate
- 1:55:35has owned the team and it seemingly has been looking for a
- 1:55:39good time to sell. Although officially they are not
- 1:55:41looking currently. Well, no better time than now
- 1:55:44with the Super Bowl appearance and it being on the west coast
- 1:55:47in San Francisco to boot. It's expected that after the
- 1:55:50Super Bowl, the Allen estate will indeed be selling the
- 1:55:53franchise to the highest bidder. This comes on the heels of the
- 1:55:56Alanis State trying to sell one of their other franchises.
- 1:55:58The Portland Trail Blazers. We've already said that will
- 1:56:02change at some point per polls wishes, but I have no news to
- 1:56:05share the spokesman. 8 said our Focus right now is winning the
- 1:56:09Super Bowl and completing the sale of the Portland Trail
- 1:56:12Blazers in the coming months while the right politically.
- 1:56:15Correct thing has been said, the steady stewardship of the
- 1:56:18Seahawks under the Allens is nearing an end.
- 1:56:20The next owner of the team will be inheriting a program that is
- 1:56:23either at the Mountaintop or just fell short.
- 1:56:26It is going to be difficult for anyone to live up to that
- 1:56:28success. Hopefully, for Seattle fans.
- 1:56:30They get a tech billionaire, that understands rant running a
- 1:56:33franchise and is dedicated to the community, like, the Allen's
- 1:56:37were that can keep them up at that mountain top in Sunday's
- 1:56:42Stadium Series, match up at Raymond, James Stadium.
- 1:56:45The Tampa Bay Lightning hosted the bus and Bruins in the
- 1:56:48division. Rivalry on National Television.
- 1:56:52This game did not disappoint as it had a little bit of
- 1:56:54everything, high scoring, a four goal comeback by Tampa, to win
- 1:56:57an overtime, the outdoor element of it all and a goalie fight
- 1:57:02with the lightning down 5 2. In the second long-time multiple
- 1:57:05Cup winning. Goaltender Andre vasilevski
- 1:57:07charged across the ice to take on the Bruins.
- 1:57:10Netminder, Jeremy swayman in a fight that was broken up by
- 1:57:13referees. Maybe a little sooner than many
- 1:57:15would have liked, but the crack it brought the crowd and fans to
- 1:57:18their feet. In fact, it's sparked the
- 1:57:20Lightning's. Furious 3rd, period in OT.
- 1:57:22Come back coins. It's a team he was throwing
- 1:57:24left. I was like, oh my God, I didn't
- 1:57:27want to be the other guy lightning Winger Nikita.
- 1:57:29Kucherov said, I was so happy. I was so fired up.
- 1:57:32I think the bench felt it. Everyone in the building felt it
- 1:57:35ever since that fight the game was turned vassy had to do it, I
- 1:57:38guess he had to wake us up, hockey is a funny Sport and
- 1:57:42vashtie who was a legend to the Lightning's fans all ready added
- 1:57:45to it Sunday evening after the game, the Lightning's big cat
- 1:57:49was humbled to a point of the being funny.
- 1:57:52I just saw sway was swinging. The Blocker on haggle a bit, so
- 1:57:55it was just a reflex to go to Red Line and challenged him.
- 1:57:58He accepted when we both fell, we kind of said each other nice
- 1:58:03word. It was super nice.
- 1:58:04It was one of the biggest moments for me because I had
- 1:58:07never fought in the NHL big. Thanks to him.
- 1:58:09He was great in the net. All game and great in the fight
- 1:58:12is well, How do people not love this sport guys?

- 1:58:39for our guests on Java and the mouth.
- 1:58:44And the mouse show. 631 672. 31.
- 1:59:09Oh eight. Isn't that I call you listening
- 1:59:13to the mouth tonight. No Java.
- 1:59:15It's just the mouth. Ladies and gentlemen you're
- 1:59:18hearing me loud and clear. What's the Speedster?
- 1:59:21The fish. And the one we call poops. go to
- 1:59:28our website and www.worldwatch.org,
- 2:00:26Now that the defensive offensive prowess got, and by the way,
- 2:00:29he's also a guy that can hit those 1718 foot jumper sabonis.
- 2:00:33I think that would make a lot of sense, if they strike out on the
- 2:00:36honest, because what I'm hearing, as I was one of the
- 2:00:39very few people that said, that the Timberwolves are going to be
- 2:00:42one of the favorites to Landing Giannis.
- 2:00:45Well, the story is over the last 24 hours that a lot of people
- 2:00:49believe that now the Timberwolves are the favourites
- 2:00:52to land Yiannis. So very, very interesting and
- 2:00:56and again, the honest sweepstakes is, is going to take
- 2:00:59a lot. It might be a 13 in Fallout
- 2:01:02draft stock to get this this deal done.
- 2:01:05Because what I'm hearing is Milwaukee wants at least four
- 2:01:08first round draft picks and three players that can start on
- 2:01:13their roster today. So I, I know the Knicks don't
- 2:01:17have that because they have mikal Bridges and they gave
- 2:01:19Michelle, they gave the Nets five first round draft picks to
- 2:01:22get mikal bridges, that makes do have their draft pick every
- 2:01:25other. Or they still have Washington's
- 2:01:27picked too. We'll see how that works.
- 2:01:29Washington. Right now is one of the two
- 2:01:31worst teams in the NBA so they're fighting for that.
- 2:01:34That last that last place so they can win the lottery balls
- 2:01:38and get one of those top three picks because boy oh boy, this
- 2:01:42is one of those. One of those drafts you want to
- 2:01:44be in the top three actually anything in the top 10.
- 2:01:47You're going to get yourself a good player that could start on
- 2:01:49your roster. So it's very, very interesting
- 2:01:51and and again, I was listening to Stephen A Smith's take today,
- 2:01:56which was very, very interesting.
- 2:01:57Does it after the next one? Yes today.
- 2:02:00And, by the way, they played horrible in the first half of
- 2:02:03that game against the Lakers the Lakers.
- 2:02:04I know, we're only up by, like, if I'm not mistaken 5 Points,
- 2:02:07but they didn't play good basketball in the second half,
- 2:02:10they started playing good defense.
- 2:02:12And, and by the way, in the last six games, the Nicks have kept
- 2:02:15teams to 91 points or less, which is been the best in the
- 2:02:20NBA in the last six games, since Jalen Bronson called for that
- 2:02:24team meeting. So, I Could just roster win a
- 2:02:27championship? Yes.
- 2:02:29Are you going to trust that this roster is going to play on a top
- 2:02:31level? Like they have in the last six
- 2:02:33games and they haven't really played Elite teams.
- 2:02:35The Lakers are probably the best team they've beaten in the last
- 2:02:38six games. The Lakers are the six seed
- 2:02:41right now, in Wester conference practically, the same record as
- 2:02:44the New York Knicks. The Knicks are, Going into the
- 2:02:47game, there were 30 and 18. Now they're 31 and 18 tied with
- 2:02:51the Celtics. The the Lakers are 29 and 18 and
- 2:02:55they were the 60, the western conference is so much better
- 2:02:57than Easter Conference very top-heavy the Western
- 2:03:00Conference, but even the bottom half of the western conference
- 2:03:02is better than the bottom half of the East, the East is so very
- 2:03:05bad on the bottom half that, there might be 14 teams that
- 2:03:08could win an NBA championship in the Easter Conference.
- 2:03:10So It's interesting. If you're a nickname, is sitting
- 2:03:14here and you're wondering how the Knicks are going to Figure
- 2:03:18out how they can make a trade at the trade downline and here's
- 2:03:21another thing. If you're if you're a Nick fan
- 2:03:24And you're wondering where they can go in the trade market, you
- 2:03:29can go out after the second tier players.
- 2:03:31Do you bring in a? Do you maybe make a move and
- 2:03:34bring in John Moran? Could you could you get John
- 2:03:36Moran for not too much that you have to give up because the
- 2:03:39Knicks have quality bench players.
- 2:03:41Do you want to ruin this? This team the way they're
- 2:03:45playing and they're bench players are, do you go after
- 2:03:47John Wayne and take a shot at him and maybe maybe strike gold?
- 2:03:51Because Speedy, if you look at this team and and the Knicks, if
- 2:03:55they have a chance to win a championship, it's this year
- 2:03:57because the Indiana Pacers are going to be better next year and
- 2:04:01Indiana. They're gonna have a top 10 pick
- 2:04:04this year and they're getting their Superstar back.
- 2:04:07And heart was one card. Albert, Howard.
- 2:04:11I can't, I I'm trying to think but that's why I asked you how
- 2:04:15Burton who tours at Kelly's in the playoffs last year in the
- 2:04:18NBA finals. And in game seven.
- 2:04:21I I think Indiana Pacers are There a borderline playoff team.
- 2:04:25I wouldn't be surprised if they get a nice pick and they and
- 2:04:29they drafted right there. Good organization.
- 2:04:30They know how to draft. Look at the Players.
- 2:04:32They have practically every single one of their players are
- 2:04:35draft picks. So and how Burton was in a draft
- 2:04:38pick, they got him from Sacramento and they they struck
- 2:04:41gold with Albert and I I still think Indiana's.
- 2:04:44It's a far-fetched team to make the playoffs.
- 2:04:48So it's interesting. It's very, very interesting.
- 2:04:50We're still waiting for Quinton cobles.
- 2:04:53I was in tech issues right now trying to get his rebooting his
- 2:04:56computer. I'm trying to see if he's a he's
- 2:04:57coming in or not but I believe you wanted to talk about
- 2:05:00something else that wasn't on our agenda.
- 2:05:02Are we gonna get into that might as well while we wait.
- 2:05:04All right. So I wanted to get into this and
- 2:05:07I don't have somebody gonna pull up what?
- 2:05:10Draymond Green just said at the game.
- 2:05:12After the game, on the loss of the Pistons, green got his 10th
- 2:05:16technical. He told them this is your chance
- 2:05:18to stop talking to me and then he said I find it very ironic
- 2:05:21that I got a technical foul for telling a Caucasian referee.
- 2:05:24Not to put his hand in my face. As a black man in America, don't
- 2:05:27put your hand in my face. All right, there's a double I
- 2:05:31see quit and laughing. So I want to give this take and
- 2:05:34I used to like Draymond Green as a player.
- 2:05:38I really used to think that he was the best two-way player in
- 2:05:42the NBA. The guy could defend any
- 2:05:44position, he was a big he was a five six foot eight, six foot
- 2:05:48nine playing center for the Golden State Warriors at a top
- 2:05:52level. You talk about the best team of
- 2:05:55this arrow and he was one of the important pieces everybody says
- 2:05:59oh the the Golden State Warriors could win without him.
- 2:06:02That's not true. Without him, they didn't have
- 2:06:06that defensive side. They didn't have that anchor.
- 2:06:08Now I'm not saying Klay Thompson wasn't a great defender at his
- 2:06:12position. He was one of the best in a week
- 2:06:13when he was healthy at that position.
- 2:06:15But Draymond Green was the anchor that defense and I love
- 2:06:18Draymond Green. I loved his personality.
- 2:06:20I love his harshness on and off the court.
- 2:06:23I loved how he, you know, he was the aggressive, you know,
- 2:06:27stirrer he loved to stir up crap on the, on the basketball court,
- 2:06:31if it wasn't what Shaquille O'Neal over the years, we've
- 2:06:33seen him do it, or Lebron, James or atoms.
- 2:06:36This guy would do anything. He'd step on your bowls, he kick
- 2:06:40in the bowls, he would grab you, he would punch you, he would
- 2:06:43elbow you. This man would do anything on a
- 2:06:46basketball court, and you liked it.
- 2:06:47I loved his aggressive plank because I love Dennis Rodman.
- 2:06:50He was my favorite player. One of my favorite players going
- 2:06:53up as a basketball fan. but here's the thing, over the last
- 2:06:57couple of years, This man has been on podcasts, he has his own
- 2:07:01podcast and he outlandishly stupid.
- 2:07:05He goes out there, he says stupid things and he obviously
- 2:07:10has a great following. And I'm not saying that this guy
- 2:07:12is in a likable person and you wouldn't, you wouldn't go and
- 2:07:15read some of the stuff that he said on and off the court.
- 2:07:18But this is the same guy that went on Snapchat and took a
- 2:07:21picture of his private area and posted it.
- 2:07:24Same guy. And then take it off and then
- 2:07:27claims it wasn't him. It's a big problem.
- 2:07:31When you think about it, what the personality that he is And
- 2:07:35then over the last couple of years, I listened to his
- 2:07:38podcast, he likes to throw people under the bus, he likes
- 2:07:41to throw teammates on the bus. There's a reason why Jordan
- 2:07:44Poole is no longer on that roster was because of him.
- 2:07:48Everybody likes to point their finger at Klay Thompson.
- 2:07:50And by the way, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, never liked
- 2:07:53each other. They hated each other.
- 2:07:56And that's why Klay Thompson when he became a free agent.
- 2:07:59The second time around he didn't want to be on this team anymore.
- 2:08:02It was it was done now, I know fish.
- 2:08:05I know what you saying. I have to finish this and I'm I
- 2:08:07want to finish what I have to say here.
- 2:08:12Draymond Green. 48 Hours, go 48 hours ago, said this about a
- 2:08:18referee I don't care if he is purple.
- 2:08:23I don't care if he's green. He did not put his hand in
- 2:08:27Draymond Green's face. If anybody seen the video is
- 2:08:31hand was under his waist. It wasn't even over the
- 2:08:35shoulder. Think about that.
- 2:08:39And then he says this caucasian referee putting his hand in my
- 2:08:44face and and he talks about his race.
- 2:08:48Trim on we know what what you are.
- 2:08:49Okay. We don't have to say that.
- 2:08:51I respect you. No matter what you are.
- 2:08:53You could be Chinese. You could be purple.
- 2:08:55You could be Jewish, I'm Jewish. I don't care what your race is.
- 2:09:01But for you to bring it up and that you to put it out there, it
- 2:09:05would piss anybody off. It would piss an
- 2:09:08African-American off for you to bring up your race.
- 2:09:10This is the NBA, okay, if you were an NFL Quinn knows Quinton
- 2:09:15played in football. You have Caucasian Jeff white
- 2:09:19guys, on your team. You have Asian guys on your
- 2:09:21team. You have Hawaiian, guys, on your
- 2:09:23team. You have Jewish guys on your
- 2:09:24team. We all know that.
- 2:09:27Why do you have to mention it? What is the point of mentioning
- 2:09:31it? Because you want to bring out
- 2:09:33your political ways? You want to bring out your
- 2:09:34personality for people to hate you more so you can sell more
- 2:09:38podcast sponsorships it's pathetic.
- 2:09:42And the NBA should spend this guy.
- 2:09:45He should be suspended. As a matter of fact, they should
- 2:09:48have him on National Television apologized to the referee that
- 2:09:52did not put his hand in his face.
- 2:09:54He called the technical foul because Draymond Green when he's
- 2:09:58on the basketball court, and this is why he gets more
- 2:10:01technical fouls than any player besides one, which we know who
- 2:10:05we're taught Brooks, is the only one that gets more technical
- 2:10:08fouls than him every single year and why?
- 2:10:10Because dream on green doesn't know how to shut his mouth.
- 2:10:13He or you're a professional basketball player, you're making
- 2:10:16millions and millions of dollars and nobody wants to hear what
- 2:10:19your thoughts are about your race or anybody else's race.
- 2:10:23All I want to know is if you can play basketball again and then
- 2:10:26he comes out after the fact when the media asked him after that
- 2:10:30whole take and said, well what are you think?
- 2:10:32He said, or what do you think he was doing?
- 2:10:33Or what do you what do you want him to say?
- 2:10:35And then he says well one of the media guys asked him to say well
- 2:10:39there's rumors that you're going to be traded, I don't care about
- 2:10:41being traded next question. He had nothing to say about the
- 2:10:44trade but Everything to say about what the referee was
- 2:10:47trying to do control the game because dream on green, when
- 2:10:51he's on the court, and he's not getting a call, right?
- 2:10:53Or he's not getting the call on his side.
- 2:10:55He's bitching and moaning about it.
- 2:10:58It's disrespectful to the game. And this is a problem with the
- 2:11:01NBA. This is the problem.
- 2:11:06Because you have these guys, Adam Silver allows these NBA
- 2:11:11players to run the league. LeBron James has run the leak.
- 2:11:15You had Kyrie Irving the league anti-semitic views.
- 2:11:19This guy that the NBA sat down with this guy, sat down with
- 2:11:23this guy and had a conversation and made Kyrie Irving apologized
- 2:11:28to the Brooklyn fence, who by the way or old Jewish people.
- 2:11:33The NBA the Nets are playing and Brooklyn, there are more of a
- 2:11:37Jewish following. All their ticket holders are
- 2:11:40Jewish And he apologizes, he apologized to the net, the net
- 2:11:44fans that he gets traded, and then when he goes, and he gets
- 2:11:48his jersey, and he gets his jersey from our Cuban, and
- 2:11:51before he could say anything. He says, oh, by the way, I take
- 2:11:54back what I said, my apologies to, you know, to my aunt's
- 2:11:58Semitic views. That was my opinion.
- 2:12:00And I have a right, I'm American.
- 2:12:02I have a right of my own opinion.
- 2:12:06And the NBA didn't suspended that.
- 2:12:09And that's the problem with the NBA.
- 2:12:11That's why a lot of people don't watch the NBA like they used to,
- 2:12:14because there's no, like, Michael Jordan's in the league
- 2:12:18anymore. Guys, that don't want to hear
- 2:12:20about politic political views, or or race, or any of that
- 2:12:26stuff. All he cared about is
- 2:12:27basketball. Straight up basketball.
- 2:12:31That's why Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of
- 2:12:34all time, because he was a killer he'd get on the
- 2:12:36basketball court, and you go out there and show you why he's the
- 2:12:39greatest basketball player in the league.
- 2:12:40Nobody, have you ever heard Michael Jordan Speedy?
- 2:12:43Ever heard, Michael Jordan talk about his political views ever.
- 2:12:47Do you ever hear about Michael Jordan?
- 2:12:49Talking about his political views now that he's not in the
- 2:12:51NBA after 20 years being retired?
- 2:12:54Have you have you not But LeBron James does.
- 2:12:59Kauai Leonard does Kevin Durant does?
- 2:13:03All of them do because they use the platform to, to, instead of
- 2:13:08using their own platform. They have their own social
- 2:13:10media's, their own, Twitter's their own Instagram, but during
- 2:13:13the game, and after the game, when they're talking to me to,
- 2:13:15they know that everybody is watching people kids, young kids
- 2:13:19are looking up to them. You hear a guy like, Draymond
- 2:13:24Green, come out and and, and, and talk about race.
- 2:13:29When probably 75% of the people that are buying tickets are
- 2:13:33Caucasian. White.
- 2:13:37I mean, how does that make Golden State feel when they're
- 2:13:40trying to sell tickets to corporations?
- 2:13:45I got it. Fish stop.
- 2:13:50I'm tired of it. The NBA needs to control.
- 2:13:55What's going on with the players?
- 2:13:57If the players are going to go out there and use their platform
- 2:14:00to sell their own product or sell, whatever they think, in
- 2:14:03their political views, the NBA needs to suspend these guys

- 2:17:07taste like that. It's a nice, tasty.
- 2:17:09Sweet say it tastes anyways. I had to ask you that question,
- 2:17:13but no, it does not taste like toothpaste fish.

- 2:17:21what you get. Now, a friendly is it has a

- 2:17:26The bunny one is on the brain. Yeah.
- 2:17:31What brand do you suggest that doesn't taste?
- 2:17:33Like toothpaste? Your probably, you know, my, my
- 2:17:36friends, one of my friends, love coffee ice cream.
- 2:17:39And I don't like coffee. So I couldn't even, I don't
- 2:17:42know. Oh, it's terrible man.
- 2:17:44And even it smell of, it gets me sick to my stomach.
- 2:17:46I was at the, I was at Carvel the other day and I see this,
- 2:17:51these two older people. They go up there and and they
- 2:17:53ask for heart ice cream and they're looking at it, like,
- 2:17:55give me that coffee. Chocolate chip.
- 2:17:57I was like coffee, chocolate chip.
- 2:17:59I almost threw up and then the guy that owns the place because
- 2:18:03you always hooks me up on Wednesday, Mike, we love you
- 2:18:05over here, hooks me up with, you know, a lot of ice cream.
- 2:18:08I, I make a joke. I'm like, Who buys Chocolate
- 2:18:13Chip Coffee? I mean, is there's a lot of
- 2:18:15people. It's a very popular, you know,
- 2:18:16taste to say. Yeah, it looks like it looks
- 2:18:19like crap in it. Iced coffee is popular so I
- 2:18:22could, I believe it. Oh, it's disgusting, man.
- 2:18:24I don't understand that partner. Iced coffee, just doesn't make
- 2:18:27sense. I like how you say iced coffee
- 2:18:29coffee, you know, like you don't use the cough, like coffee
- 2:18:33coffee, my girlfriend, she's got that, Brooklyn accent.
- 2:18:36Oh yeah. Yeah coffee.
- 2:18:43That's the the Carolina way of speaking.
- 2:18:45Yeah. Give me a coffee.
- 2:18:49If you, I'm not when we say Star Bucks, you can't stop bucks like
- 2:18:57a box. Stop box.
- 2:18:59Yeah, let's go to stop box. Anyways, we are talking to
- 2:19:04former New York chess defense event, our friend Quinton corpus
- 2:19:07now. Quinton, we had a bet, we had a
- 2:19:10bet Last time you on the show about the gremlin.
- 2:19:14Okay we had a bet there was some conditions too though, but I'm
- 2:19:22gonna let you know now, he did play 10 games, my friend, he did
- 2:19:26nothing, he played in games so what was the conditions?
- 2:19:30I don't remember what the conditions were.
- 2:19:31What were the conditions? The main bad was, he wouldn't
- 2:19:34get an interception. I have to fight the condition.
- 2:19:36I don't remember the distance. I went with the conditions.
- 2:19:38If he just paid DB, it wasn't way.
- 2:19:41If he I told you he was gonna fail at doing this to, to win
- 2:19:44and the NFL. Yeah, he did know, I remember
- 2:19:47that. But we knew he wasn't gonna play
- 2:19:48Just TV. We knew that we expect him to
- 2:19:54play both but we didn't. I mean that was before the
- 2:19:56season, so we did know. Yeah, I was hoping that there
- 2:19:59will be No sensible, boys say, hey, you're going to be a DB but
- 2:20:04they want to try to hold two-way player and it just was a crash.
- 2:20:09I mean every form of player was saying the same as that thing.
- 2:20:13All right, very you. Who do you think this?
- 2:20:14This isn't Colorado that you're not.
- 2:20:17It's not gonna happen. You know it we had four year
- 2:20:20Lewis and and I know you know who he is, he's one of the best
- 2:20:22linebackers in the NFL, he came on the shell last week and I
- 2:20:25brought up Travis the gremlin Hunter and he looked at me he's
- 2:20:29like I've never heard that. I said, go look at all over
- 2:20:31social media now I gave him a nickname now, people use it on
- 2:20:34their stories, the Grambling. And by the way we we showed him
- 2:20:39the photo, he kind of giggled that he says, he says, you don't
- 2:20:42know him yet. You have to understand him as a
- 2:20:45person before you can judge him. And I said, well, when you go
- 2:20:48out there, when I was at the Heisman Trophy dinner and you
- 2:20:50bring up the New York Jets and say, hey I you don't want to,
- 2:20:54you don't want to play for the Jets are a terrible
- 2:20:55organization. Well, that's great for you to
- 2:20:58say, you're all so playing for an organization that has failed
- 2:21:00every single year too. When was the Jackson, Bill
- 2:21:03Jaguars? Ever a winning organization,
- 2:21:04they've never even want to Super Bowl.
- 2:21:06So for him to come out and say, well, that Jeter terrible
- 2:21:09Morgan, is it? Yeah, they're terrible.
- 2:21:10Just as bad as Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 2:21:12So I, and by the way, Jacksonville, didn't start
- 2:21:15playing good football until He was done for the season, that
- 2:21:20was when they started picking up the game and and started playing
- 2:21:23really good football and I have to say something Trevor Lawrence
- 2:21:27looked like a competent quarterback, so but that's just
- 2:21:29my opinion. So you were right about it, but
- 2:21:30I want to get into the Jets because you're a former jet.
- 2:21:34I'm sure you have your own opinion.
- 2:21:36I've checked out some of your posts over the last couple of
- 2:21:38weeks. So, and I mean, you a friend,
- 2:21:41and I as a friend, I want to get in to what you think is going on
- 2:21:45with the New York Jets, Aaron Glenn.
- 2:21:48I was interviewing, Wink Martindale.
- 2:21:50He had them in once and he told him that he's gonna run the
- 2:21:53defense, then he told Wink Martindale on his own Penny to
- 2:21:57fly back, he wanted to interview for a second time.
- 2:22:00He told wink that, he's calling the plays, he would be the
- 2:22:03number two guy, you know, you know, mixing it around.
- 2:22:06Now, when you hear something you say when you hear coach like
- 2:22:09that, come out. Now, we all know the Aaron
- 2:22:11Rodgers story before they see season started.
- 2:22:13He did the same thing. Darren Rogers.
- 2:22:16He told Aaron Rodgers to come fly over here because he wanted
- 2:22:19to talk to him. And then told him once, he
- 2:22:21walked through the door, you're no longer going to be a part of
- 2:22:23this organization. We're going, we're going with
- 2:22:25another roster spot. We're going with Justin fields
- 2:22:28or whatever. We're going with the new
- 2:22:29quarterback. When you hear that when you when
- 2:22:32you're interviewing for a coaching job or you're you're a
- 2:22:36quarterback looking to come back and you hear that from the
- 2:22:38coach, are you going to trust that this coach is going to put
- 2:22:41you in the right position to succeed and do you trust this
- 2:22:43coach moving forward with your organization?
- 2:22:46Yes, or no. I mean because I mean, well,
- 2:22:50we're here in the same things when it comes to and Glenn when
- 2:22:53it comes as attitude, when it comes to his personality, his
- 2:22:56character. And like, I don't know him well
- 2:22:59enough that like very well judge him on that, like I've had an
- 2:23:02arrested with them. Always been a very overly
- 2:23:05confident or a type guy. I could take that hit a message.
- 2:23:09You know, I got to know, you kind of like really need that
- 2:23:12before judgement in regards to who, I believe you to be, but I
- 2:23:16mean, you just gave two examples of the same type character issue
- 2:23:21that everybody's been companion about.
- 2:23:22You know, there's Jets fans that was like he was too arrogant,
- 2:23:25you know, coming in, you know, they had issues with him coming
- 2:23:29out about his arrogance that he's just so to me, I think that
- 2:23:34is a red flag. That is a huge red flag and the
- 2:23:37fat that You are playing with people's emotions in, um,
- 2:23:42emotions during this process. It says more about you than it
- 2:23:46does about, you know, them trying to get a job cute.
- 2:23:50When you look at all the coaches that turn down even interviewing
- 2:23:54at the Jets, Jon Gruden was a guy that the Jets really liked.
- 2:23:58Jon Gruden has not coached in the NFL since that Scandal of
- 2:24:02the text messages or emails that were going on, he sued the NFL,
- 2:24:07he won the obviously against the NFL and nobody's hired him as he
- 2:24:11offensive coordinator or as a coach.
- 2:24:13Finally, the Jets wanted to interview him.
- 2:24:15He probably would have won the Jets over and Aaron Glenn over
- 2:24:19as they're offensive going there.
- 2:24:20He told the Jets to go back off. He had no interest in
- 2:24:24interviewing for that offensive coordinator job.
- 2:24:26Do you believe the reason why he decided not to even sit down and
- 2:24:30have a conversation with the New York Jets?
- 2:24:32Is because Aaron Glenn for sure. What, you know, based off.
- 2:24:36We're brothers, we're turning the players, start the coaches,
- 2:24:40coaches, talk to players. The Gs are kind of like the
- 2:24:43middle people. That kind of facilitate messages
- 2:24:47and, you know, tears at the coaches that they're seeing this
- 2:24:51as far as these. So When you hear that, and you
- 2:24:55hear in all these different things, Jon Gruden is a, he's a
- 2:24:57man's, man. He's a man's coach.
- 2:24:58He's not, he's not, he's an athletic coach.
- 2:25:01He's not gonna allow and Glenn to kind of talk down on him in a
- 2:25:05second, even if he got the head coach position and I think
- 2:25:08that's the issue, not only just with Aaron Glenn.
- 2:25:11I just think that's an issue with the Jets organization
- 2:25:13overall, which is the reason why you can.
- 2:25:16We've had so many great talents and so many similar
- 2:25:21orchestrated, well, put together teams, but we can't never get
- 2:25:25cars to Edge. We can't never get over that
- 2:25:27hump and it's because we don't got no coach.
- 2:25:29I want to mention like kind of the process that we've seen the
- 2:25:32Jets kind of Reinventing the wheel at times.
- 2:25:34I think since you since they let you go you went to Miami.
- 2:25:37I think since then we've seen a lot of that were.
- 2:25:39Oh, Adam gays go went to hire Joe, Douglas after they fired.
- 2:25:42Mike Mike and after the draft, then you look at all these seven
- 2:25:46coaches getting fired out of nowhere.
- 2:25:48This off season. Like you think their jets are
- 2:25:50trying to like they're trying to like reinvent the wheel too much
- 2:25:52with a lot of their decisions. I don't have a culture so there
- 2:25:57is unstable in all their ways like basically at the end of the
- 2:26:01day like they it's like you make irrational decisions.
- 2:26:04You're not you're not putting the right people in the right
- 2:26:06place. So I keep hiring your friends
- 2:26:09and thinking that they're going to do a good job because they're
- 2:26:11your friends. Instead of hiring the right
- 2:26:13people that understand Personnel that understand football from an
- 2:26:17Essence and those position, you know, and understand how to
- 2:26:20orchestrate and create a culture.
- 2:26:22It's not a, it's not rocket science, but because you just
- 2:26:28keep hiring or like, You just keep, you know, feeling
- 2:26:33positions is what I would call it, you know what I'm saying?
- 2:26:35Like you just put people in position, they get in the titles
- 2:26:38and things that nature but there's no real game plan.
- 2:26:41There's No Agenda, their resume may say, oh yeah, that's why is
- 2:26:44he did this hes been there? He's coached here what now, but
- 2:26:48you're not putting the right people, in the right place and I
- 2:26:51don't think Aaron good as a head coach.
- 2:26:52I just think he's a good because according to we are talking
- 2:26:55about you we are talking to former New York Jets defensive
- 2:26:58and our friend Quinn Colts, you know, Quinton the New York Jets
- 2:27:03over the years have never bought a veteran coach.
- 2:27:05Adam Casey's probably the only veteran coach, they've hired any
- 2:27:09he was only a veteran because Miami fired him and he wasn't
- 2:27:12there with Miami for very long. I think he was there for three
- 2:27:15or four years. I, it wasn't an accomplished
- 2:27:18coach. Why do you think the New York
- 2:27:20Jets over the years, have not brought in a veteran coach and
- 2:27:24accomplished coach that have won somewhere or some other place or
- 2:27:29in a place where you know he was positioned to succeed when he
- 2:27:34went to the Jets? Well I think it's the same
- 2:27:36thing. It goes back like so veteran
- 2:27:38coaches want to come in and establish like the culture that
- 2:27:42they're gonna run the program that they're going to run.
- 2:27:45I don't think the Jets allow that to happen and I think they
- 2:27:48follow the trend of just a young man's need.
- 2:27:52And so it's something that is they love potential and they
- 2:27:55love the build-up. They don't actually want to
- 2:27:58establish a culture like so for instance, if you look at The
- 2:28:02Steelers, right? Like and you look at my Thomas
- 2:28:05having a 20 year career where no loses seasons.
- 2:28:10There was a lot of bad teams within that but there was a
- 2:28:12culture there that kept everything intact.
- 2:28:16It's like Michael Jordan, that she was talking about earlier.
- 2:28:18It's like running the triangle fence.
- 2:28:19It's like you can give it, you know, Michael Jordan has praised
- 2:28:23and his flowers, but when you run it, when you actually
- 2:28:26understand basketball, are you looking at how that triangle
- 2:28:28offensive, developing and guys are buying it.
- 2:28:31Dennis Robin is not out there trying to score 30, and he's
- 2:28:34getting rebounds and he playing defense and Steve Kerr.
- 2:28:37Ain't trying to be, you know, this superhero.
- 2:28:39He's just doing. He's supposed to be ready for
- 2:28:42the shop. Those those, if those things
- 2:28:44matter and jets having established a coach, we don't
- 2:28:48know what the identity of the Jets.
- 2:28:50The fans got more of a culture, didn't Dash routine and
- 2:28:54organization like y'all. At least y'all understand y'all
- 2:28:57roll position and in places and how to you know organize the
- 2:29:01beat be organized together. The organization overall is the
- 2:29:05wrong, people in the wrong places and their own people got.
- 2:29:09It was Years of the people who are making decisions and they're
- 2:29:12just making a horrible decisions from a foreign office dance and
- 2:29:16from a coach stance, you know, and you give away too quick.
- 2:29:20All right, so you you brought up the fans and and a lot of these
- 2:29:22media guys, and I, I can't stand half of them and honestly, they
- 2:29:26don't know what the hell they're talking about.
- 2:29:27And the fans I think is the biggest problem right now for
- 2:29:30the New York Jets, when the fans are starting to speak, get rid
- 2:29:33of the coach or get rid of the offensive coordinator, get rid
- 2:29:36of the players then Woody Johnson steps in and he breaks
- 2:29:40bread with the fans and he does whatever the fans want.
- 2:29:42And now I think that's the problem is the fans think that
- 2:29:45they know more than the organization the fans think or
- 2:29:48the media thinks that making this move is the best move for
- 2:29:52the organization. And I think over the years as a
- 2:29:55Jet fan has been a big problem for this organization.
- 2:29:57If if ownership, just understands to bring in a GM, if
- 2:30:01you're hiring a GM to do a stop, let him run the organization.
- 2:30:04James Dolan. The reason why the Knicks are
- 2:30:07successful with Leon Rose. And Worldwide West is because
- 2:30:11James Dolan finally gave the reins to Leon Rose, and he
- 2:30:17trusts Leon rose that he can run this organization.
- 2:30:19He doesn't have to step in to break bread with the fans or or
- 2:30:23you know what, I don't like this player, get rid of them, I don't
- 2:30:26want him here like we've seen him do many, many times do you
- 2:30:29think that maybe ownership needs to kind of step away and stop
- 2:30:34listening to the fans? Stop listening to Media.
- 2:30:37All these stupid radio shows, these jet podcasts that think
- 2:30:41they know more than everybody else.
- 2:30:42Do you think maybe ownership should let Moji do what he was
- 2:30:47hired to do. Ideally, you would think that
- 2:30:49would be the case but it's still a business.
- 2:30:51So like he's he has to Tend to the fans and hear them out, to
- 2:30:57keep them. Buy tickets to keep them engaged
- 2:31:00and keep them going back and forth and regards to, you know,
- 2:31:04merch tickets sales, season ticket holders.
- 2:31:08Hold on, hold on, hold on. What's second cue?
- 2:31:11So, you're gonna tell me that, Candace City, and Andy Reed, and
- 2:31:14that organization is listening to the fans.
- 2:31:16Oh, they're not in that, they're not in just position, that's
- 2:31:20totally different. That's again, they have a
- 2:31:22culture. They have already put you.
- 2:31:26They were in that position. They were.
- 2:31:29That's right, because they finally brought in a company
- 2:31:33coach that he was, and what he was doing.
- 2:31:36So maybe if the Jets did something like that, maybe next
- 2:31:40time, if Aaron Glenn fails bring in a Jon, Gruden.
- 2:31:43Tell John you, you and Moji are going to be working.
- 2:31:46You're gonna get them bringing in John, good, I don't think
- 2:31:48they would do it. That's what I'm saying.
- 2:31:50So you in front office, I trust you to make that decision, to do
- 2:31:54it. The front office that they have
- 2:31:55are going to say, hey, we got to go young because that's the
- 2:31:58trend got to go young. Gotta get one of these winning
- 2:32:01offensive coordinators. That's that went to deep into
- 2:32:05playoffs. It's the same trend.
- 2:32:07It. So that's what I'm saying.
- 2:32:09So they're not trying to establish a culture of trying to
- 2:32:11actually win another Super Bowl. They are literally just being
- 2:32:15complacent and just saying, hey, we're what, we're, what three or
- 2:32:20four on the scale and regards to the most, the most money
- 2:32:23franchise, and the league. So it's not it's not, it's not
- 2:32:26hurting their bottom line and it's okay.
- 2:32:30You're in the biggest medium market.
- 2:32:31So, the mediocrity is, is a different level versus if you
- 2:32:35was Cleveland. You know, I mean, you don't get
- 2:32:38talked about until football season, we still here right now,
- 2:32:41talking about the chest and trying to fix their issues for
- 2:32:44them, and they not listening. All right, so there there's a
- 2:32:47guy who's been all over the media.
- 2:32:49He does his show on ESPN, New York and that's Bart.
- 2:32:53Scott, I know, you know who he is, you played with him with Rex
- 2:32:56Ryan, he's a Rex, Ryan guy, he's come out over the last couple of
- 2:33:01weeks saying that he wants a job with the Jets, pay me a million
- 2:33:04dollars, I'll come and be your defensive coin.
- 2:33:06Are I'll be your Linebacker. Coach.
- 2:33:08Do you believe that Bart Scott, who has no experience as a coach
- 2:33:13would work over there with Aaron?
- 2:33:15Glenn, tell me why this would work because honestly, I love
- 2:33:18Bart. I think he's a unique Personnel.
- 2:33:21He's a horrible media guy. He's not an analyst.
- 2:33:23He doesn't know anything. He doesn't know anything, but
- 2:33:26football, but he's talking about basketball hockey.
- 2:33:30Do you think I'm taking advice from Bart?
- 2:33:33Scott about hockey the Rangers in the Islanders, I'm listening
- 2:33:36to this guy talk about hockey, like he knows something.
- 2:33:38All right, this is where you wear.
- 2:33:41His focus is know. They there was a he called out a
- 2:33:45place he made out of just you know me.
- 2:33:47You don't have the best relationship.
- 2:33:48But I mean I'll beat you. I miss like he what?
- 2:33:52He possibly bring outside of I mean an individual coach like a
- 2:33:58linebacker assistant coach, you know, Personnel goes, I give him
- 2:34:01that. Yeah, you got experience and
- 2:34:02he's gonna love to be able to earn that position.
- 2:34:05But a coach like someone who actually has input and make a
- 2:34:11decision. No.
- 2:34:13That's what I'm saying. He said dumb that sounds like
- 2:34:16why would you know he's not breaking that down on ESPN.
- 2:34:23He's not showing us know. Type of giving us.
- 2:34:26No inclination that he's actually knowledgeable about the
- 2:34:30game of football. He just know what he knows.
- 2:34:33And that's okay but I would never like I would never
- 2:34:36consider like, oh yeah Bart Scott feel good higher for it.
- 2:34:40Did you adjust? Yeah it'd be a joke.
- 2:34:49I mean we would be laughing even more.
- 2:34:50Like it just these guys just really don't get it just doing
- 2:34:54whatever just waste that money. Yeah, he's definitely.
- 2:34:57He's definitely a mad backer that's for sure.
- 2:35:00And that could be beneficial but How how would that be beneficial
- 2:35:07to hear Bart? Scott like an individual, like a
- 2:35:11young guy that's coming in the league him being able to train
- 2:35:14him to be a little bit more physical to be able to attack
- 2:35:17and reads and you know playing his own coverage.
- 2:35:22And yeah, I can see him. He doesn't even know how to
- 2:35:27finish his sentence on the radio.
- 2:35:28You gonna tell me that you again assistant help encourage the
- 2:35:58guys, Exact veteran, or something.
- 2:36:01Let's just Sum that didn't know what they're doing so I know
- 2:36:05yours. I know you're a Steelers fan.
- 2:36:06So Mike, Thomas stepping down and now they hire Mike McCarthy.
- 2:36:09So first first part of it are you surprised Mike Tomlin
- 2:36:12stepped down and do you think he'll coach another team, maybe
- 2:36:14in the next couple years and also Mike McCarthy going there.
- 2:36:17Do you like the higher and could that keep Aaron Rodgers there?
- 2:36:19Um so that was a couple questions I so Tomlin first what
- 2:36:24do you think he'll coach Indiana here?
- 2:36:26Stepping down was just a nice way of getting fired.
- 2:36:30Like that was just a little way of leaving.
- 2:36:33He had to lose more than one playoff game to have any type of
- 2:36:36Leverage, so that's their nice way of keeping his You know.
- 2:36:42Reputation perfect. Yeah.
- 2:36:44Reputation the same and up in his Aura.
- 2:36:48His Tomlin Aura. Yeah you keep that going or
- 2:36:52whatever. Um do I think he would coach
- 2:36:55again at first when I saw you know the news or whatever I was
- 2:36:59thinking I was like yeah but you got to think about 20 years All
- 2:37:04I want to. Come back.
- 2:37:08It would have to be like a special unique situation and
- 2:37:11even then I really don't think he got more than two to five
- 2:37:15years left in coaching. Now, I know you look at, like,
- 2:37:17you know, that Andy Reid or whatever you like, yo, it's
- 2:37:20coaching forever, but it's like I just look at them and I don't
- 2:37:24see it like where he got more than two to five if he was to
- 2:37:29come back. But if I if I'm playing it like
- 2:37:33I'm saying it. I don't think he'd do it.
- 2:37:35I don't think you do. I think he may go to, like TV
- 2:37:38and then do be and like an advisory role for somebody.
- 2:37:43But I don't see him coming back as a coach.
- 2:37:45I just don't and Mike McCarthy like to pick.
- 2:37:48I do too. I don't think he, I don't think
- 2:37:50he was coming back either. Yeah, he had a good season.
- 2:37:53If Tommy would have stayed one more year, I could see and Roger
- 2:37:57being emotional and coming back for one last year, but I don't
- 2:38:01think there is nothing left on the table for Aaron.
- 2:38:04I don't think he's in a situation where he can actually
- 2:38:08have a team get to the Super Bowl.
- 2:38:10He does, he's got his made up wife.
- 2:38:11I mean, he got married in the offseason.
- 2:38:14Nobody's met her nobody's ever seen her but I, I do it.
- 2:38:20Especially he named his hand. Brittany and he married his
- 2:38:23hands and he put a ring on it. That's what he did.
- 2:38:25I mean, you know, you just, I mean in his pants, you know, on
- 2:38:31a football. So maybe that's what he named
- 2:38:33his new wife, his hand. I I Brittany.
- 2:38:36How are you identifying as different things these days?
- 2:38:40Yeah. I don't know, you never know.
- 2:38:47There's no limit no more, it's like he can go either way.
- 2:38:49Fat bunny said, he's gonna he's gonna be on the stage during the
- 2:38:52halftime show with an address. Where's the season ever?
- 2:38:55That's the worst decision ever. That's a slap in the face to
- 2:39:02say, yeah, you know what fans, you can care less about you.
- 2:39:06You know, the Integrity of the league, we care that we want
- 2:39:10money and we're going to do anything and anything that we
- 2:39:12can to get money. But I would tell you this
- 2:39:16because I do, I did hear a little bit of your taste from
- 2:39:18the beginning. I think you had a going into
- 2:39:21next season. I want you to just shift your
- 2:39:23mind from being the traditional fan to understand that.
- 2:39:27This is WWF. All right, this is hold on, hold
- 2:39:31on, hold on, hold on, hold here, entertainment.
- 2:39:35Let me tell you something, I am one of very few people.
- 2:39:39I've been doing this for almost 14 years, Q.
- 2:39:41Let me, let me, let me throw this out to you.
- 2:39:44I am the first person before I was attacked by the media before
- 2:39:50I was attacked by fans saying that the NFL is rigged.
- 2:39:53I've been saying this for a very long time.
- 2:39:57I pinned it. I've pointed it out and I said,
- 2:40:00oh, that's not true, that's not true.
- 2:40:01You're out of your mind. I said the referees control the
- 2:40:04game, the NFL games are one play.
- 2:40:06You make one bad mistake, the game's over.
- 2:40:08I mean it ends it's it's usually within three to seven points.
- 2:40:13It's less than a touchdown. And all the referee has to do is
- 2:40:16call a bad play. Like the Broncos game, we all
- 2:40:19know that it wasn't a background where backwards lateral it was
- 2:40:22not he threw the ball, he over he threw it with both hands and
- 2:40:26they called it and that was the touchdown that the Patriots only
- 2:40:29needed to win the game which cost the Broncos, a chance to
- 2:40:33play in the Super Bowl, which obviously got their offensive
- 2:40:36coordinator fired as well. So I yeah, which is crazy.
- 2:40:40And with a third string quarterback that you know, the
- 2:40:44only person, the only team that actually knew who he was, was
- 2:40:46the New England Patriots who, by the way, Josh McDaniels drafted
- 2:40:49in the seventh round years before that five years or six
- 2:40:52years before that. Which we all know.
- 2:40:54And by the way we are talking to former New York Jets defensive
- 2:40:57end our friend Quinn Colts we love him on the show as we
- 2:41:00always invite him to come on the show.
- 2:41:01I've been saying this a long time Quinton that I I've always
- 2:41:05said that its transition I watch sports when I was a kid.
- 2:41:08These guys played to win. When you watch hockey, these
- 2:41:12guys would go out and beat the hell out of each other.
- 2:41:14To win the game. It's not like that anymore.
- 2:41:16They're all prima donnas, they're all like the NBA
- 2:41:19players. Michael Jordan couldn't stand,
- 2:41:21the Detroit Pistons because they tried to, they tried to kill
- 2:41:23him, you know. Now, you know, these NBA players
- 2:41:27are each other's godfathers for each other's family members, I
- 2:41:30mean, their best buddies. So when they are on the
- 2:41:33basketball court there, they're hanging out with each other
- 2:41:35offset from the games of basketball.
- 2:41:38They're going out to dinner before the game.
- 2:41:40I mean, that's it's not competition anymore.
- 2:41:43Big problem. I think there's a lot, I think
- 2:41:46there was a lot of all things, guys who actually good friends
- 2:41:50and hung out with each other, it's just, that one's been
- 2:41:53lights came on and we got in between the lines.
- 2:41:55It was killer be killed. And so, that's the difference
- 2:41:59between this generation now because they can't, they can't
- 2:42:02turn that switch on, to be able to say, like, this guy's name,
- 2:42:06like, even when I play pick up, like, I tell the time, they like
- 2:42:09your whole different person like when you like, playing the game
- 2:42:13or whatever, and I'm like, yeah. Like I don't know how to be like
- 2:42:15cool with you. I was like, I'm going at you and
- 2:42:19talking to you crazy, on the court and then I'm asking you
- 2:42:22about your family when we done with the day, like after the
- 2:42:26game is over and we got to walk out checking in I thought I just
- 2:42:30mentally distracted, you know me, but I'm not even thinking
- 2:42:35about what I did on the court know, I'm like literally tuned
- 2:42:38out, so I'm talking to you as like, I genuinely care about you
- 2:42:42like, what's going on and just checking in with you.
- 2:42:45But if you like take a snapshot, what's going on?
- 2:42:48It's like you was the most disrespectful person on the
- 2:42:51court. Want to go how you just go from
- 2:42:53that to. Yeah.
- 2:42:54How's the family? Everything.
- 2:42:55Good, you know, stuff like that. Like, it's weird.
- 2:42:58But that's the era. Like, I grew up in the era and I
- 2:43:01that's how we operate, you know, I mean like I wouldn't never
- 2:43:03cross that line while I'm in between, you know, every man has
- 2:43:07a gross, but this generation now.
- 2:43:11You gotta think man. Like it's like I said not just
- 2:43:13to entertain that the NFL is rigged is just became
- 2:43:17entertainment and so even with that like this generation is all
- 2:43:21about entertainment. So, even when you was just
- 2:43:23talking about Draymond that like you if felt personal to you,
- 2:43:27because you're actually a fan, however, He understands
- 2:43:32aggregates. He understands, like, if I say
- 2:43:36this, this is going to be on ESPN for the next two or three,
- 2:43:40four days. This may get me another 10 to
- 2:43:4315,000 more followers. Yeah.
- 2:43:44But that's the problem Q. They're using a platform.
- 2:43:46They should not be using to do that.
- 2:43:49And again, the NBA should be stepping in suspending him to,
- 2:43:52you know, I I don't know. I mean this is what I'm saying
- 2:43:55that the whole generation we're cooked.
- 2:43:57If you're not trying to get into the algorithm, then you're going
- 2:44:01to fall behind. So you have to say these
- 2:44:03outlandish things, in the things, this is what's going to
- 2:44:05automatically race politics, all right, all right, so these are
- 2:44:12going to continue soon as you say something, it's going to be
- 2:44:15all over the place. All right, I got it.
- 2:44:18I got it. So, what you're saying here on
- 2:44:20this show tonight is maybe I should just be outlandishly
- 2:44:24crazy, you know, go. Oh, so okay.
- 2:44:29So I, I think, for now on, I'm going to just talk about
- 2:44:31religion and Isn't just throw it out there and hopefully it
- 2:44:36sticks. Ladies and gentlemen, if you
- 2:44:37want to get like 10 to 15 that have you done it?
- 2:44:39Like if you want to get more followers to get more money
- 2:44:41coming in? Absolutely, for sure.
- 2:44:43I love it. But if you, if you would have
- 2:44:45stayed true to the craft, you can do that too.
- 2:44:46It's just takes you longer. That's all I'm saying.
- 2:44:49It just takes you longer to do it authentically.
- 2:44:51Then it does, if you just keep getting as they get my friends,
- 2:44:57I agree. But I'm just saying, I'm telling
- 2:45:00you, decide that they look at us.
- 2:45:01Like when you talk about the KDs, you talk about the
- 2:45:04trademarks? Like we got guys who are out
- 2:45:07here wearing jewelry in the game.
- 2:45:10And nobody's next. No necklace ain't nobody did
- 2:45:13nothing. Like you know like you know what
- 2:45:16it would be like if I was a hit somebody and that seen a diamond
- 2:45:20necklace. Oh they oh they showed up.
- 2:45:21You know what happened in this? Town for sure.
- 2:45:33Like I want to make sure that I do that.
- 2:45:35You know me I'm going out my way like no guys won't wearing like
- 2:45:39jury these guys out and everything and it's cool but
- 2:45:42like That's what I'm saying. Like it's no bad intentions, no
- 2:45:47more. So, it's all entertainment and
- 2:45:48everybody just won't clicks and money.
- 2:45:49That's it. And then now you're about to
- 2:45:52start seeing people with the most followers, get
- 2:45:56opportunities. Yeah.
- 2:45:58Not the people that athletes just don't want to get the most
- 2:46:01followers. But, you know, that athletes,
- 2:46:04but I agree with you, and that's the problem.
- 2:46:06Right now, in this industry is like, it's funny.
- 2:46:08And I want to, I want to give a shout out to I don't use AI a
- 2:46:11lot. And so I asked AI last night, so
- 2:46:14I asked AI last night where do we rank against the best shows
- 2:46:18and America, and they put us against the best football show
- 2:46:23in America. And that's I think what part in
- 2:46:26something it's on, it's on Barstool.
- 2:46:30It's the number one show. It's on Netflix.
- 2:46:32They have their own, they have an opportunity, you could owe
- 2:46:36check out the show on Netflix. So I asked him, where do we rank
- 2:46:39against them? Seriously.
- 2:46:40And they, they put us in categories and they compared us
- 2:46:44and they edged us five to one against them.
- 2:46:46The only thing we didn't edge up against them was marketing and
- 2:46:50sponsorships because we're not on a big platform yet, but
- 2:46:53everything else. Authenticity personality knowing
- 2:46:57what we're talking about edgy, everything they put us above
- 2:47:02practically 90% of the shows in America and that's AI.
- 2:47:07Looking at the analytics and looking at our show and
- 2:47:09comparing us, that's what I asked.
- 2:47:11And I said, are you serious? He says absolutely serious.
- 2:47:13And then they explained to me why they chose us over them.
- 2:47:18That's amazing. When AI can tell you that and
- 2:47:20makes you feel good that you're doing something right.
- 2:47:23And you can, you can compete and be compared to the best shows in
- 2:47:26America. But you're still not there yet.
- 2:47:29You still not considered better than us.
- 2:47:31Yes. Did you ask for Yeah, it said
- 2:47:35it's marketing. Did you ask you how to Market to
- 2:47:40get these 100%? We need to be signed by a major
- 2:47:42Network. That's really what it what it is
- 2:47:45if we were on ESPN right now. If we were on the NFL Network
- 2:47:49right now, we would be the biggest show in America.
- 2:47:51I really do believe that it's crazy to say that and I know a
- 2:47:55lot of people probably say, okay about like when you start
- 2:47:57talking to think about like networks and stuff like that cuz
- 2:48:00sometimes I think, Um, platforms matter that obviously the bigger
- 2:48:05platforms matter, but I've seen that the relationship with the
- 2:48:08platform, it's going to continue to keep driven, you know, I
- 2:48:11mean, it's going to keep you tried when you actually wear the
- 2:48:14platform that you guys can co-exist versus somebody who's
- 2:48:17just doing your lump sum of money to be able to get that
- 2:48:20radians and get down, get their money up.
- 2:48:23We are talking to former New York Jets defensive and our
- 2:48:26friend called us and I agree with you and and and and and to
- 2:48:29me what I really really hate about this industry is there are
- 2:48:34guys that are in the industry that I've trained that I have
- 2:48:37helped and they don't even come close to the kind of product
- 2:48:41that we put out there and they sit there kissing ass and
- 2:48:44whatever they do and it bothers to help me because I want, you
- 2:48:47know, for 13 years I've worked my my tail off.
- 2:48:49And and again, I I spoke to agents, I spoke to networks.
- 2:48:54Well, I spoke to a network on comparing myself and I told and
- 2:48:59it's crazy to say this this guy and He's the regional guy, he
- 2:49:04runs the whole radio station. I'm not going to mention the
- 2:49:06network, and I asked I listened to how crazy I am when I got
- 2:49:10when I got him on the phone. I said, you know, when you
- 2:49:13retire when you have an interview and somebody asks you,
- 2:49:15you know, what is the most important thing you did for the
- 2:49:18industry? What's the biggest thing you did
- 2:49:20for the industry? And I said, you know what,
- 2:49:22you're going to say to them and he says, what you hired Aaron,
- 2:49:25Marx, and he looked at he started, he stopped for a
- 2:49:28second. He started giggling.
- 2:49:29He says, wow, you really are confident that you damn, right.
- 2:49:32I am and I I told him straight up truth because honestly, it's
- 2:49:38not it everybody looks at content and everybody's like all
- 2:49:42these shows now are all about talking about their families,
- 2:49:44their dogs. When I'm listening to sports, I
- 2:49:47want to hear your take on the sports and I want to, I want to
- 2:49:50laugh. I want you to give me the
- 2:49:51entertainment part of your take, but I want to hear Sports.
- 2:49:54I don't want to hear about your dog, taking him to the vet,
- 2:49:57putting them to sleep or shooting tonight, you know,
- 2:50:01shooting. You know, a catheter up your ass
- 2:50:04or some stupid crap that these guys are talking about, I don't
- 2:50:07want to hear about it. I want to hear about your take
- 2:50:09and half of these guys. Don't even know what the hell
- 2:50:11they're talking about. Yeah, they just regurgitating.
- 2:50:13Yeah, this morning where they heard this morning or what they
- 2:50:16heard before they went on air. I don't listen to anybody quit
- 2:50:19and I don't listen to anybody. You have Bart Scott, I hate her.
- 2:50:23I hate them. I'm the guy.
- 2:50:26Even like like when they like, it just tells crazy, this is all
- 2:50:33the dumbest thing, but he understands accurately, so where
- 2:50:37I used to get mad at my understanding, he's doing,
- 2:50:39whatever. He's not actually giving a good
- 2:50:41tape. That's just look at like,
- 2:50:44Stephen, A like, Stephen A, he went from actually being
- 2:50:48authentic journalism to like, just hollering to now he's
- 2:50:51playing. Like, even if you look at, is a
- 2:50:53not to go in the politics but like you go to his page and you
- 2:50:56start sending this Independence. Stevenson show, he played both
- 2:51:00sides. So he Tethered to whatever.
- 2:51:03Like, so, say something happened with Trump or whatever.
- 2:51:05He gonna play to the Democrats and they say the Democrats, do
- 2:51:08some stupid. And he gonna play with the
- 2:51:10Republicans, he's never consistent.
- 2:51:12You don't know what he just says in the name of being an
- 2:51:15independent, what is an independent?
- 2:51:16Nothing there's just like, when is when we had a representation,
- 2:51:22like literally nothing there. So that's what I'm saying.
- 2:51:29Like, it's just And then he's at a place now where he got people
- 2:51:33right for him, you know, I give him these takes and stuff, he's
- 2:51:36not really going to reset, you gotta research team and then
- 2:51:39they just doing whatever the algorithm say.
- 2:51:40Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, all of this is just
- 2:51:42entertainment. Now, it's not even and this is
- 2:51:45frustration frustrating. Me and you Because we understand
- 2:51:49the actual game, and we actually have a perspective that can
- 2:51:52actually be helpful to people who don't understand the game.
- 2:51:56So, like the general fan, That just love, you know, the Jets or
- 2:52:00just love watching football like we can get them a perspective
- 2:52:03that they'll never understand before and we found valuing that
- 2:52:07where they just like, I just want you to click on this and
- 2:52:09stay up here for 30 seconds. On this one minute clip.
- 2:52:13And then I get that, I get there, I get that.
- 2:52:16Like, I get that view. And my daughter says that I got
- 2:52:20this a minor views. Today and I get I get a check
- 2:52:24from this platform and get a check from that platform.
- 2:52:26Then I go to the table and negotiate a deal with this
- 2:52:30platform and they pay me in my Raiders, I go down, but I
- 2:52:33already got my check your upsetting me here.
- 2:52:37This is this I started podcast. I'm loving it.
- 2:52:45Maybe you shouldn't. Fight me on your podcast because
- 2:52:47I'll drop, I'm gonna drop the hammer on everybody.
- 2:52:50Here's my take on it. Screw Stephen A Smith.
- 2:52:54Screw Bart Scott School more pad McAfee and here's the fact that
- 2:53:00pretty good. You're my pet.
- 2:53:03Ball. When he gets into the basketball
- 2:53:05conversation, you can tell. He's he's being told what to
- 2:53:08say. Listen, if I'm gonna listen to
- 2:53:10somebody, I want them to actually know what they're
- 2:53:13talking about. I want a, I want to hear your
- 2:53:16take, you're gonna give me your take and it's going to make
- 2:53:19sense. Now, when I'm hearing Stephen A
- 2:53:21Smith, tell me that Floyd Mayweather's the greatest boxer
- 2:53:23of all time when he doesn't even know who he fought his last
- 2:53:26fight fights, okay? I don't want to hear it.
- 2:53:29I don't even know who he was fighting.
- 2:53:32He's to me. It's pathetic.
- 2:53:37And you want to, you want to know this?
- 2:53:38And this is the truth. I watched mixed martial arts and
- 2:53:41then I see Stephen A Smith at some of these events UFC 320, or
- 2:53:46USC. 319, what do you know about mixed martial arts?
- 2:53:49What, he just gotta say, he's dead.
- 2:53:52Oh, it's like going to the Grammys and you see somebody in
- 2:53:56there and then there's me, you don't see them.
- 2:53:58Then you see somebody in that same sheet, they're just a seat
- 2:54:00feeling. He's just going to.
- 2:54:00You got to be in these patients. That's another thing that you
- 2:54:03should do. They start going to these
- 2:54:05events? Making yourself seen or
- 2:54:07whatever, because a lot of the times that's where the deals are
- 2:54:10made. Oh, I saw you at the UFC 320.
- 2:54:13Oh, yeah. Oh, I saw you the UFC White
- 2:54:15House situation. Oh, yeah, I saw you didn't
- 2:54:18inauguration or yeah, I saw you had to ask these.
- 2:54:20Oh, yeah. Something like you just gotta be
- 2:54:22around. Yeah, I just got to jump.
- 2:54:24You know, I, I should just put like, I should be like, I should
- 2:54:28get wings and I should just fly from one place to go to San
- 2:54:31Francisco. Right there.
- 2:54:33That's gonna be hard. I'm not going to be terrible.
- 2:54:37No, no, no, we had we have nests, you know, our our blue
- 2:54:41blazer killer as he flew over there and we'll let him take our
- 2:54:45credentials. I do.
- 2:54:46Here's what I I don't like about the NFL by the way we are
- 2:54:49talking to former New York Jets defensive and our friend.
- 2:54:52Quinn, Copeland, he's obviously, starting a podcast.
- 2:54:55We love him. We love his personality.
- 2:54:57It's it's good. It's great.
- 2:54:58I, so what I can't stand about the NFL is, we went to the, we
- 2:55:04were invited to the Super Bowl last year.
- 2:55:05So, we went and at the last minute they told us, oh, we
- 2:55:09don't have a table for you at Radio row, but when we got
- 2:55:12there, I had my executive producer, fish and Nick goody
- 2:55:15and x, and I'm sorry, X. MLB player that came with us to,
- 2:55:19to help us, you know, bring you know, different personalities to
- 2:55:23come and sit with us. So, they went up there and they
- 2:55:25said, well, we were invited, why we have credentials but we don't
- 2:55:28have a table. Well, if there's a table open,
- 2:55:29you could sit out. So, we were jumping from table
- 2:55:31to table being disrespected. While we saw college students
- 2:55:35from LSU or schools, we never even heard of sitting eating
- 2:55:38their lunch, not eating family. Anybody?
- 2:55:40But the NFL's, okay with that, but they're not.
- 2:55:42Okay, for a top 200 show, by the way, I don't know if, you know
- 2:55:46this Quinn, we quit and Colts. We were ranked At 107th in
- 2:55:54football shows, that's 2.5. Million people in America on
- 2:56:00Spotify, Apple think about that. But screw the NFL, they didn't
- 2:56:05give us a table. They give all these other idiots
- 2:56:07tables that were what happened? Who's your content?
- 2:56:11Where we reach out to the okay? General random guy.
- 2:56:19You gotta have a contact know. Maybe.
- 2:56:21We got to go through you. How about that?
- 2:56:23You're my content, really? Oh my God is so bad.
- 2:56:26Anybody hate me as much as I be talking about about him.
- 2:56:30It's supposedly. Oh, there we go.
- 2:56:31One of our interns are zoot. He says that his school Saint.
- 2:56:37What is that Bob Adventure? They got a table, but we didn't,
- 2:56:41and we're so they told me so I we reached out to my answer.
- 2:56:45So, so I made a plan. I was gonna go there.
- 2:56:47This year, I had I bought mics and everything.
- 2:56:49We'll do the interview standing up, screw them.
- 2:56:50But you know what? I said, you know what, I'm not
- 2:56:53gonna promote their platform. Why am I gonna give them any
- 2:56:57credit when they didn't give us the credit.
- 2:56:58When we have we're on blue wire. We're doing all our stuff.
- 2:57:01We're as good as anybody in the industry and we're not getting a
- 2:57:05table, but Saint Bonaventure has a table stroll.
- 2:57:08You shake bottom of that jar. Oh yeah, LSU.
- 2:57:13On bars. BYU, kiss my ass, you know, You
- 2:57:17got you got you got you got, you can't take this person.
- 2:57:19Yeah, I'm cool man. I'm cool.
- 2:57:23I know you can feel but you can't.
- 2:57:26Be in your family. Because at the end of the day,
- 2:57:30like so you again, this is just business, it's just
- 2:57:33entertainment. So that's why I'm saying, like,
- 2:57:35you gotta turn that switch where you got to realize that, hey,
- 2:57:38this is just How can I put this reality TV slash VR?
- 2:57:45Like you know, how they were selling virtual real estate and
- 2:57:48people with actually behind me. Yeah.
- 2:57:51But that this is where we had this.
- 2:57:53This is where we at this time people that we're dealing with,
- 2:57:56you know, me people who spending hundreds of millions of dollars
- 2:58:00buying virtual real estate in the middle of nothing.
- 2:58:04Like so that's what you got to take consideration.
- 2:58:06Like this is just a friend. It's no.
- 2:58:08You just act like, you know, you're a part of the club or
- 2:58:12whatever, but Do Your Own Thing? Don't get caught up with the
- 2:58:15Hollywood parties and stuff, but just go in handy, business meet
- 2:58:19who you needed me? And do your interviews and get
- 2:58:23out. Yeah, well, I'm not but I'm just
- 2:58:27telling you because you deserve it.
- 2:58:29Like, you know, you all do. Y'all deserve exactly.
- 2:58:34Everything that you guys desire in regards to this?
- 2:58:37I love you man. We gotta we got it.
- 2:58:40We got to talk off air but you owe me your number.
- 2:58:42Throw me your number. We got a we got to talk Bud III.
- 2:58:46We love everything about you. Personally, personally, and
- 2:58:50personality wise, I I think you'll do great as a podcaster.
- 2:58:54And for all these idiots that do do podcast that are absolutely
- 2:58:59horrible half. These guys, Richard Sherman.
- 2:59:00Oh my God, that show is absolutely future.
- 2:59:03I listen to, I don't really listen to podcasts.
- 2:59:06I popped it on the other day. I almost threw up.
- 2:59:07Okay, I can't sit and listen to a guy that, you know, he was a
- 2:59:11good football player, but his personality and trying to go
- 2:59:14offset from all the other stuff that he talks is just absolutely
- 2:59:18horrible. And I don't even want to hear
- 2:59:20his take on some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth.
- 2:59:22But um, we love you, man. Keep up the good work.
- 2:59:26Let's let's click after you got my, you got my direct messenger.
- 2:59:30Send me your nose. Yeah.
- 2:59:34That's absolutely quick and cold pools lady.
- 2:59:37The one, the man, the Killer Rex Ryan's pick.
- 2:59:43Yes, sir. That's right.
- 2:59:45We love you man, Quinton coples, he's Sensational.
- 2:59:49I love him. He really is great personality
- 2:59:52and honestly was mistreated by the New York Jets.
- 2:59:55If the Jets put him in the right position, this guy could have
- 2:59:57been a great defensive lineman, but the Jets did did him wrong
- 3:00:01and obviously got pushed around a couple of places and, and
- 3:00:05really didn't really get over the hump.
- 3:00:06So, unfortunately, it just it happens like that, but he's
- 3:00:11straightforward. He gave you his own take.
- 3:00:12And let's go inside baseball. Now, let's go deep deep inside.
- 3:00:17What? Baseball.
- 3:00:22All right, here we are back in inside, baseball.
- 3:00:27I guess I didn't make an updated graphic this one.
- 3:00:30Well guys, I got some good stuff for you.
- 3:00:32Starting off with the trade that happened today of an All-Star,
- 3:00:36the Mariners have acquired All Star Brendan Donovan from the
- 3:00:43Saint Louis Cardinals on Monday in a three team trade that
- 3:00:46included. Guess who the Tampa Bay Rays?
- 3:00:49Who always seem to find their way as the third or fourth team
- 3:00:54in these types of deals. It just is what they do.
- 3:00:57So the deal which sources said three team proposals, we got a
- 3:01:04I'm I don't know how to pronounce his name jurrangelo
- 3:01:06sergente. Who's the number five.
- 3:01:09Prospect in the top hundred and third baseman, Ben Williamson
- 3:01:13goes to the Rays. The Cardinals, get a bunch of
- 3:01:16prospects. Thai Pete from Seattle, Colton,
- 3:01:19Ledbetter regardless. It's Donovan that we're talking
- 3:01:22about from this deal. The Mariners they went and got
- 3:01:26you ano Suarez at the deadline. He's a free agent, they didn't
- 3:01:30get him. We'll talk about him in a second
- 3:01:31actually, but Brendan Donovan hat is a high average hitter
- 3:01:35plays every single position basically on in the Outfield.
- 3:01:40In the infield, he's he's pretty useful guy.
- 3:01:43I love it. And by the way, he played
- 3:01:45multiple positions, he played left field third base, second
- 3:01:48base, this guy can hit for average.
- 3:01:50He's not a power hitter, he had 11 home runs.
- 3:01:53I think last year 287 hitter, he can do a lot of different
- 3:01:57things. What I believe the Mariners need
- 3:01:59is that staple defensive position player that can.
- 3:02:03Multiple positions. They can move them around the
- 3:02:05field. I think it's a slam dog firm.
- 3:02:07Great move by the Seattle Mariners.
- 3:02:10Yeah, they're definitely need that kind of production in the
- 3:02:12infill, if they're gonna lose. Suarez, Crawford, been up and
- 3:02:14down and hitting wise too and same thing with their Corner,
- 3:02:16Outfield positions. They've just been that I like a
- 3:02:18lot and I think it was the first winner that utility award fish
- 3:02:21the gold gloves. So I think he played every
- 3:02:24position. What catcher on here?
- 3:02:25So yeah, I I've been on him is a fantasy baseball guy for a
- 3:02:29number of years. I just love guys that are gonna
- 3:02:32hit 280 to 300 every single season and isn't gonna strike
- 3:02:35out and has the on base skills. He's got like those Billy Beane,
- 3:02:39you know, you need to have the on base percentage needs to be
- 3:02:43like 70 to 80 points higher than the batting average Moneyball.
- 3:02:47If you're batting money, the money ball stuff.
- 3:02:49And if you're batting, average isn't the 280s that means?
- 3:02:51We're talking, you're on base, 30, 536 percent of the time here
- 3:02:54and all star. If you do that and you could
- 3:02:56play Gold, Glove out, infield and Outfield pretty damn.
- 3:03:00Good trade for the Mariners to start off inside. baseball,
- 3:03:04let's go to the next topic we've got Ohtani not going to pitch in
- 3:03:09the World Baseball Classic and numbers of players are not being
- 3:03:15given or not gonna be playing mostly from Latin American
- 3:03:19countries and places such as Puerto Rico.
- 3:03:21Obviously party United States, but Venezuela numbers of players
- 3:03:26are not being insured. And the reason the reason is the
- 3:03:32contract, we have a couple of reasons.
- 3:03:34Miguel Rojas turned 37. They won't ensure anyone over 37
- 3:03:39from Latin America. I don't know what the reason for
- 3:03:41that is there's been older players that were insured in
- 3:03:45America. Like I'm pretty sure plating
- 3:03:46Kershaw's over that age and he's gonna be on that team.
- 3:03:49Obviously he's never playing against him so maybe it's
- 3:03:51different but the other part is Francisco.
- 3:03:53Lindor is not being insured to play in the World.
- 3:03:56Baseball Classics for Puerto Rico because his contract is too
- 3:04:00valuable and they don't want to have to ensure someone who was
- 3:04:03it? 200 million dollars left on
- 3:04:04their contract. And again, they're allowing
- 3:04:09American guys such as Kyle Tucker who we know just signed a
- 3:04:12240 million dollar four-year contract to play.
- 3:04:15This is kind of a really fascinating thing.
- 3:04:17And then anyone who has injury history, they've pulled them
- 3:04:21from it. Carlos Correa, Jose Barrios have
- 3:04:25been pulled from this WBC. The WBC is kind of losing some
- 3:04:30steam. Arrow don't play, don't play
- 3:04:31that. I mean.
- 3:04:32Oh, Tony has the Deferred money. He's getting paid what, two
- 3:04:35million a year. But oh, he's got 100 million
- 3:04:38dollars to sponsors. If you want to be in the World,
- 3:04:40Baseball Classic, you're playing for your, your team, you're
- 3:04:43playing for your country, it shouldn't you have millions and
- 3:04:47millions of dollars. If you're worried about getting
- 3:04:48hurt, then don't play in the game.
- 3:04:49I know what happened to Edwin Diaz.
- 3:04:51The last WBC he was out for the season tearing.
- 3:04:54I think he was his Achilles or is he?
- 3:04:56Whatever it was, I understand that.
- 3:04:58But you're playing for your country, you're playing for your
- 3:05:01flag, your playing that if you again, I understand what the WBC
- 3:05:04is doing. I understand that they don't
- 3:05:06have insurance, it really doesn't matter.
- 3:05:09Play that. Yeah, it looks bad like when you
- 3:05:11see the International Foundation, like you see with
- 3:05:14the Olympics we've seen with FIFA have problems with not
- 3:05:16paying their players enough or not paying the right insurance.
- 3:05:18It's one thing. It's a whole country doing it
- 3:05:19too and it looks really bad. What you?
- 3:05:21The last thing you described fish looks really bad.
- 3:05:23A player with injury history should not be cannot be in
- 3:05:26short. That is the most stupid thing I
- 3:05:27might have ever heard. So get a insurance policy out,
- 3:05:30pay for the insurance policy. If you're a professional athlete
- 3:05:33and you're making that kind of money, pay for insurance policy,
- 3:05:36you can go to the, there's many ways, Colin insurance company
- 3:05:39and get a policy put on it. I know football players, I had a
- 3:05:43policies put on their hair 4 million dollars Polamalu before
- 3:05:46during the regular season they had an insurance policy on his
- 3:05:49hair so if you want in insurance policy, hey, mister deferred
- 3:05:53money over there, go pull it out of your ass.
- 3:05:55I'm pretty sure jalloh at one point.
- 3:05:57Had like a 50 million dollar policy on her behind speaking of
- 3:06:00which, but it's very strange. I, you want to watch him play.
- 3:06:04You would think the league would do something if they want the
- 3:06:07WBC to be successful. But I know there are some people
- 3:06:10that are saying that the Japanese players in the USA
- 3:06:13players are being allowed to do it or being allowed to be in it,
- 3:06:16making the other teams weaker so that we can see a rigged final
- 3:06:20of USA versus Japan might be a little bit of like a ringing it
- 3:06:25in the books here, let's move on the next topic.
- 3:06:28The Athletics have signed the going into the second season,
- 3:06:32Jacob Wilson their shortstop. He was second in his second in
- 3:06:36the voting for Al rookie of the year to a seven year, 70 million
- 3:06:40dollar contract. So the A's lock him up for the
- 3:06:44long term. He's only 23.
- 3:06:46So that'll take them to age 30 finish second in the AL rookie
- 3:06:50of the year. He hit 311 as as a rookie with a
- 3:06:54355 on a 44 slugging, that's just was at 799 Ops for the
- 3:07:01season. 13 homers 63 RBIs, 125 games, his teammate, Nick Kurtz
- 3:07:07of course, was the was the AL rookie of the year, but had an
- 3:07:11awesome season. And of course, it's just as soon
- 3:07:14as the Athletics, leave Auckland and don't get to give any of
- 3:07:18this, great young talent to that fan base, that was tortured for
- 3:07:22absolutely forever. I guess they're still in
- 3:07:24Sacramento for now, I guess they're going to Vegas but As
- 3:07:28far as I know, nothing's really official exactly on their
- 3:07:31landing spot. Currently, this is a great deal,
- 3:07:34why? Because there could be a strike
- 3:07:35in a year from now. And now you have this guy set
- 3:07:39for seven years, 70 million. It's a great deal, he's young.
- 3:07:42And again, this is something that the Braves have done over
- 3:07:45the years. They're they're signing their
- 3:07:47players early so they don't have to worry to worry, five years
- 3:07:52from now when the arbitrate it and then they have to be their
- 3:07:55own restricted free agents and they lose their players.
- 3:07:57The AES are doing the right thing.
- 3:07:58Slam dunk for the A's signing their young shortstop.
- 3:08:02Yeah, any middle tier and smaller Market should definitely
- 3:08:05follow that model was work for the Braves.
- 3:08:06I know it didn't work for the White Sox, it kind of backfired
- 3:08:08on them, but the white socks at all other issues, but they did
- 3:08:11this last year with Rooker and Lauren Butler.
- 3:08:13I believe Langoliers, too as well.
- 3:08:15Got a deal. So they're at least Lucky in The
- 3:08:17Hitter is not just gonna work on the pitch.
- 3:08:18So that is well. So but again, it's all in that
- 3:08:24Braves, like you said earlier that Braves like get him buy
- 3:08:27out. Their, you know, arbitration
- 3:08:29Year's and give them the contract so they get money in
- 3:08:32their hand when they're younger, that makes them happier and then
- 3:08:35when they're 30 they can get that big contract if they're
- 3:08:38still good, you know, to get that one more big contract or a
- 3:08:41couple of smaller contracts. You know, for the rest of their
- 3:08:43career. I think it's a win-win.
- 3:08:45I love that format and it's obviously, you know, outside of
- 3:08:48all the injuries from Hell, the Braves have this year's been
- 3:08:51pretty good model. All right, so let's move on to
- 3:08:54the next one, big name on the market, and it's CJ Abrams.
- 3:08:58This is a guy who has 25 home run power and 50, stolen base,
- 3:09:03every year just waiting. He's in now, the issue with
- 3:09:06Abrams obviously, he's on Washington.
- 3:09:07They got him from San Diego in a and I believe that was the
- 3:09:11original prize for the one. So he was one of the six guys.
- 3:09:14Yep. Yeah.
- 3:09:15He was the original prize was another one too, and he's gone.
- 3:09:19Right. So they're obviously selling it
- 3:09:21you know and they haven't made it official but There's a lot of
- 3:09:25people that can use a shortstop. Not everybody looks at Abrams as
- 3:09:28a short stop going forwards. Defense is a problem.
- 3:09:31He could be, he could end up the Outfield could end up at
- 3:09:35seconds, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot of teams including
- 3:09:38the Yankees that should be all over a middle infield, or that's
- 3:09:42a 2550 guy. 257 last year. That's what I worry about
- 3:09:46batting average. And obviously, the average of
- 3:09:49the league is batting between 240 and 235, but if you're going
- 3:09:53to bring in a short stop, they've had problems with Volpe
- 3:09:56Volpe is it was hitting at the end of the season.
- 3:09:59I think it was like two 10 2, 15, the guys only hitting 0.40
- 3:10:03more than he is. So that's what I worry about
- 3:10:05bringing in a guy that might have some pop.
- 3:10:07So, does vulpe Volpe hit, 20? Something home runs last year
- 3:10:10and still basis. I don't know if I want to bring
- 3:10:13in the same type of player to my roster and I have to give up a
- 3:10:16tremendous amount of prospects. So I wouldn't do it if I was the
- 3:10:19Yankees but there are other organizations that have a
- 3:10:22boatload of young prospects that they need to get rid of And they
- 3:10:25need it, they need to add defensive help or offensive
- 3:10:27help, so I would do it. But I, if I were the Yankees, I
- 3:10:31stay away from them. Based on the gore trading, might
- 3:10:33be taking a good chance on a falling price with this new GM
- 3:10:36with the Nationals that maybe this new ownership doesn't
- 3:10:38really trust as much. It might be able to get him for
- 3:10:40less if you are any of these American League contendings, I
- 3:10:43think outside of Detroit and Seattle.
- 3:10:44If you were the Yankees, would you make that a lower price?
- 3:10:47I think I would, but not really not at the price that not the
- 3:10:49price that vote is a better player than he is not at the
- 3:10:52price that they're asking for. But I think both players have
- 3:10:55been up and down enough where I still young girl is a young.
- 3:10:58He is vulpia, has more pop and full pay has more speed.
- 3:11:03So why would you bring this guy? He doesn't have more speed.
- 3:11:06What he's this guy's. An absolute burner Abrams is one
- 3:11:10of the fastest guys in the league, so his Vulcan is fast.
- 3:11:12Well, I I'm not, I'm not I'd let Speedy finish.
- 3:11:15But you know this guy is, that's the thing that if you're
- 3:11:19interested in him, it's for his speed and they having that
- 3:11:23decent pop, not as good as Volta.
- 3:11:24You're right though. The other element I was
- 3:11:27mentioning though, is because the Yankees helps with other
- 3:11:29questions with like, obviously, if they keep chasing long-term,
- 3:11:31like, if they let him go, then maybe he's a second, baseman, or
- 3:11:34full day. Still is there.
- 3:11:35Anyway, I think they all have good versatile pieces and you
- 3:11:38have to play for injuries. I wouldn't mind taking the
- 3:11:39chance at the value Falls shorter.
- 3:11:41I wouldn't pay him at his regular price though.
- 3:11:42All right, so I am looking at Volpe stealing numbers.
- 3:11:45Last year was down because it was down old, but he had 18
- 3:11:48stolen faces. He only Abraham's only had 31
- 3:11:53stole him basis. So it as far as popping and
- 3:11:56RBIs, I'm keeping Volpe. If I'm gonna pick one from the
- 3:12:00other. I'm keeping, I let April's go
- 3:12:03where Ever. He's going to go if I'm the
- 3:12:05Yankees, I don't make that move. I think Volpe was playing hurt
- 3:12:08and that's why the defense suffered.
- 3:12:09I'm willing to give Volpe another chance.
- 3:12:11See if he's healthy. See if that defense bounce back
- 3:12:14because I don't want a guy who can't play shortstop that we
- 3:12:16just traded a lot for and I'm worried defensively.
- 3:12:18That Abrams is gonna be another Corner.
- 3:12:21Outfield there and we already got like 12 of those guys.
- 3:12:23So it just wouldn't be the guy I trade for, but he is definitely
- 3:12:27the big name out there. You should pay attention to it.
- 3:12:29A couple of smaller signings mentioned them earlier.
- 3:12:32You ain't no Suarez. Big home.
- 3:12:34Run hitter goes to the Reds. In a one year, 15 million dollar
- 3:12:38deal again, had 49 home runs last year, leaving All Star was
- 3:12:44with the Diamondbacks for a while.
- 3:12:45He always had batting average issues where he had really low
- 3:12:49batting averages and lots of strikeouts.
- 3:12:51Those numbers have been significantly better.
- 3:12:54His slugging was out of control last year after he went to
- 3:12:58Seattle with their run and then the other one Buster Posey knows
- 3:13:01good hitting Buster Posey. Is Luis arise in the Giants and
- 3:13:06they're going to put them over probably playing a little bit of
- 3:13:08first base dhing. But this guy's, you know, he had
- 3:13:13three years in a row where he was bad in like 325 330.
- 3:13:17Everybody knows her Rises and the best defender out there but
- 3:13:21he is probably the best contact hitter in baseball and has been
- 3:13:24for the last five to six years. I love Lewis arise and that's
- 3:13:28the guy. The Yankees should have signed
- 3:13:30if he's gonna sign a one-year deal, I would have absolutely
- 3:13:33brought him in. They need they need guys, that
- 3:13:36can hit hit for average. The Yankees had problems in the
- 3:13:39playoffs. You put him in that line up to
- 3:13:41protect, maybe behind Aaron judge, hit in the five spot or
- 3:13:45the four, the six spot at Sprint's out their offense,
- 3:13:48spreads out there line up. It would have made a lot of
- 3:13:50sense for the Yankees. Suarez.
- 3:13:52That was a absolute slam dunk one year.
- 3:13:54How much was it? 15 million?
- 3:13:56Forgot. That's a slam dunk.
- 3:13:59A guy that hit 49 homerun even if he gives you 30 and on 3080,
- 3:14:03it's Slammed up for 15 million. Uh, the Reds made a great move,
- 3:14:07they needed some offense in the second half of the season.
- 3:14:09I think it's a great move. Yeah, they need veteran
- 3:14:11leadership for a very young team.
- 3:14:12They had a young and feel that got hurt last year with steer up
- 3:14:15and down with injury, Matt, McLean Miss I think, 81 or 90
- 3:14:18games or something like that. So I think this is a good one
- 3:14:20year contract. The fans love them there and
- 3:14:22Cincinnati and then arise for the Giants, too.
- 3:14:24They're gonna need contacts headings.
- 3:14:25They don't have billions is nothing for 40.
- 3:14:27A guy that hits 49 home runs in give you almost 100 RBIs.
- 3:14:31Yeah, that's a steal. Yeah.
- 3:14:32And for a ride sake, I think the Giants need more lineups.
- 3:14:35They're not gonna have a lot of power just with the parks of
- 3:14:37their in and the teams they got a play against so they get
- 3:14:39somebody that can mentor those guys in a rise.
- 3:14:41So all right, we got one more topic, left.
- 3:14:43And that topic is the retirement of the last Yankee still active
- 3:14:50from the 2009 World Series team. Former Yankees reliever and
- 3:14:55David Robertson is calling it a career.
- 3:14:58This is what I was hoping we have a job before you know
- 3:15:02obviously Java played with him on that championship.
- 3:15:03Team announced his retirement on Friday ending is playing career.
- 3:15:07He played for 18, over 18 years, nine of those years.
- 3:15:11So half of his career was with the Yankees.
- 3:15:13He was a 17th round pick as again, he was a relief.
- 3:15:17Pitcher for the championship team, he was a closer for a
- 3:15:19while. He bounced around the league and
- 3:15:21had some had a lot of success in a lot of clutch moments.
- 3:15:24I think I remember him mostly being a clutch player.
- 3:15:28How do you guys remember David? Oh Deanie, that's who they gave
- 3:15:33him a nickname to. He was Houdini, I A lot of times
- 3:15:38that I saw David Robertson, he would come into the game and
- 3:15:41then he loaded the bases, and then there would be one out and
- 3:15:46he'd get out of trouble after those two batters and strike out
- 3:15:49the side. That's why they called him who
- 3:15:51Houdini he would put himself in bad situations and get himself
- 3:15:54out of it. He was one of the best at doing
- 3:15:56that with the Yankees over the years.
- 3:15:58I love David Robinson everywhere.
- 3:16:00He went even when he went to Philadelphia and he jumped ship
- 3:16:02when he when he left the Yankees, he had many many
- 3:16:05opportunities of success. And, and at the tail end of his
- 3:16:10career, he kind of fought injuries and obviously, he
- 3:16:14wasn't the same picture when he left the Yankees, but he was a
- 3:16:17sensational relief pitcher for the Yankees especially when they
- 3:16:20won the World Series in 2009. Yeah, tough situation.
- 3:16:22I think good Sparks for a lot of bad bullpens, even after he left
- 3:16:25the Yankees, a Phillies Bullpen when he went.
- 3:16:27There was a trois. I really helped elevating.
- 3:16:29He was with the Mets for a little bit.
- 3:16:30Had one good year, one bad year with them.
- 3:16:32But again, tough situations, lots of different roles.
- 3:16:34He didn't have to be a closer. I got a good career for
- 3:16:36Robertson for Sir, he was actually an absolutely excellent
- 3:16:40player. It's sad to see the last
- 3:16:41champion Yankees active to be out of the league, but we'll see
- 3:16:46if anything else happens. That maybe make the Yankees, get
- 3:16:49back to that point on the next inside.
- 3:16:51Baseball, Houdini ladies and gentlemen, and I, I loved him as
- 3:16:55a player, I really did. And he was a good guy,
- 3:16:57everything about him. I when you look at former
- 3:17:00Yankees and guys that you really love to watch play, he was one
- 3:17:04at Brett. Gardner was another one.
- 3:17:05I love to watch play. He was a whole world Yankee.
- 3:17:09He was a Yankee. His whole career never went to
- 3:17:12play anywhere else at Robertson. At the end of at the tail end of
- 3:17:15his career, he jumped ship. But he was a Yankee pretty much
- 3:17:18his whole career. At the top of his game, he was a
- 3:17:21Yankee and I I think the Yankees tried to bring him back.
- 3:17:24When they moved on from him, they tried to bring him back and
- 3:17:28they winded up bringing somebody else.
- 3:17:29And I think it was Chapman and they broke again, but they went
- 3:17:33after David Robinson and David Robinson was still playing good
- 3:17:35baseball when he left the yank. But he started to get
- 3:17:39significant injuries and his body started to break down and
- 3:17:42it wasn't the same pitcher, but great, great pitcher for the
- 3:17:45Yankees as we gave him the nickname or the Yankee fans,
- 3:17:47gave him the nickname. Houdini When we come back ladies
- 3:17:50and gentlemen, no king of the hill tonight.
- 3:17:52We you know, we had quick couple's on for a while and we
- 3:17:55love we love queue. When we come back, we'll get
- 3:17:58into cage in MMA with the one and only Jake and dial it up
- 3:18:03right after. But first our Sports minute.
- 3:18:08Is the Java and the mouth Sportsman is.
- 3:18:13All right guys. Aaron fishermen here with your
- 3:18:15Sportsman. I got a couple more stories.
- 3:18:16Before we get into this scores, this evening, the Cleveland
- 3:18:19Cavaliers made a trade late on Friday night in both the news
- 3:18:23dump and a salary dump as they move.
- 3:18:26Small forward, DeAndre Hunter to the Sacramento Kings for the
- 3:18:29well-traveled Dennis Schroder and Kiana Ellis.
- 3:18:32This moves saves the Cavaliers around 50 million dollars in
- 3:18:36salary and luxury tax money by moving on from Hunter who they
- 3:18:39traded Charis Levert George's, neang.
- 3:18:42And a multiple picks. And swaps for just last season
- 3:18:45Hunter, who is 6 foot 8 was just not a consistent performer, and
- 3:18:49his shooting had his dipped to just 30.8% from 3 to season, not
- 3:18:54nearly good enough for an alleged 3D player in his prime
- 3:18:572018. Stand Out Defender, Oscar
- 3:19:14Thompson. Who's averaging?
- 3:19:15Two Steals and a block per 36 minutes.
- 3:19:17This season the Kings. Well, I guess they think wasting
- 3:19:2120 plus million on a player like Hunter.
- 3:19:23Hoping for a bounce, back on a team that currently has the
- 3:19:25worst record in the entire league at 12 and 39 is a good
- 3:19:29strategy, but I guess that's why they're the Kings.
- 3:19:31And they stay that way. Hard to understand giving up
- 3:19:34Ellis in this deal. But hey, what do I and the rest
- 3:19:37of the NBA know that the great Vivek rendez and the King's
- 3:19:41front office don't. Well, February is Black History
- 3:19:44Month and it's certainly not off to a great start as no
- 3:19:47African-American coaches were hired for the 10 different NFL
- 3:19:50head coaching openings this season.
- 3:19:52Well, that continued in baseball as the Chicago White Sox
- 3:19:56attempted to honor a black history month on Sunday, the
- 3:19:59beginning of the month, but in the process completely dissed,
- 3:20:02the greatest African-American player in their franchise
- 3:20:04history, White Sox Legend, Frank Thomas was Bentley Hall of Famer
- 3:20:08was basically all but omitted from the White Sox social media.
- 3:20:12Version of Black History Month. He was just briefly included in
- 3:20:16a blurb about 1972. Al MVP Dick.
- 3:20:19Allen simply stating he was also an MVP in both 1993 and in 1994
- 3:20:25which was a strike. Shortened season Thomas saw the
- 3:20:27post and perceived disrespect from the organization which he
- 3:20:31had a falling out with both at the end of his playing days in
- 3:20:34Chicago and with the long since gone, front office of Kenny
- 3:20:38Williams, 15 years ago, Thomas responded to the post, I guess
- 3:20:42the black player who made you rich over there and holds all
- 3:20:45your records is forgettable. Don't worry, I'm taking
- 3:20:49receipts. Thomas did have his jersey
- 3:20:52retired by the White Sox and had a statue of him unveiled in
- 3:20:552011, but it appears the relationship between the White
- 3:20:58Sox Legends and the team is still hurting in a big way guys.

- 3:22:27And Now, ladies and gentlemen, caged in and then they
- 3:22:45And yes, ladies and gentlemen, back to back weeks, it was UFC
- 3:22:50324. And on Saturday, it was UFC 325,
- 3:22:55which featured two absolutely dominating fights with both the
- 3:23:00co-main event and Main Event being very one-sided.
- 3:23:04Fights in the co-main event Benoit Saint Denis defeated Dan
- 3:23:09hooker with a second round, TKO winning in less than 10 minutes.
- 3:23:14Former MMA fighter, Michael Bisping called Benoit the most
- 3:23:19violent force in the game. After now, winning nine of his
- 3:23:24last 12 fights, then in the main event.
- 3:23:27Alexander voelske got to fight in his home country Australia.
- 3:23:33I don't know why you put that as everybody knows and did not
- 3:23:36disappoint winning by unanimous decision and five rounds against
- 3:23:40Diego. Lopez, this is the second time.
- 3:23:42They have fought in the last 10 months.
- 3:23:45Vulcan winning last year in a closer fight before handling
- 3:23:49Lopez easily in UFC, 325, Volk. And asking now has eight
- 3:23:54Championship win, fighting fights at 145. 145 pounds, tying
- 3:24:00him with Jose Aldo, for the most ever at that way.
- 3:24:05You know, it's so great, it's so great.
- 3:24:09First of all, I want to go to the Dan hooker.
- 3:24:11The hangman versus, you know, did I believe?
- 3:24:16And I'll say this Saint Denis is, I don't know if he's the
- 3:24:20most violent, but he's the most prettiest to watch, okay?
- 3:24:23Because this guy can take it down and dominate you on the
- 3:24:27ground as good as anybody and Dan hookah, came out with the
- 3:24:30great game plan, throwing those front kicks, keeping away using
- 3:24:34his power pressing on, I believe, Saint denique, because
- 3:24:39Saint Denis, didn't understand how powerful Dan hooker was and
- 3:24:42now he watched Anna hooker, he's big long.
- 3:24:45But he has heavy throws, and heavy punches.
- 3:24:48You don't really see him throw as many kicks, but in this
- 3:24:52fight, he had a great game plan. And I thought at the tail end of
- 3:24:56the first round Satan, he took over and after he took over at
- 3:24:59the tail end of the first round, the the violence started to
- 3:25:03happen in the early second round.
- 3:25:05Where Saint in, he just completely dominated Dan hooker.
- 3:25:07He did Rip Dan hookers top of his forehead at the tail end of
- 3:25:12the round. And and you can see that Dan
- 3:25:15hooker wasn't as confident going into the second round.
- 3:25:18Like he did in the first round. It was, it was bad to me after
- 3:25:22the first round. I thought he gave his best start
- 3:25:26of the fight. I think he gave the best press
- 3:25:28that he can give to Saint Denis. As soon as he got comfortable,
- 3:25:32Jake, you saw that he started taking over the fight, then he
- 3:25:36started taking him down and dominating him on the ground.
- 3:25:38I how many times did we see Dan hooker?
- 3:25:41Try to put him in a guillotine and then try to put him in a
- 3:25:43dark. He tried so many Times in the
- 3:25:46first round to end the fight as quick as he possibly can.
- 3:25:49Because as soon as satanic got comfortable, the fight really
- 3:25:53went on his side. Yeah, I think you're right
- 3:25:55arrow. I think I think early right at
- 3:25:57the end of the first round Dan hooker kind of had his moment a
- 3:26:00little bit, but BSD pretty much had control that fight as soon
- 3:26:03as it went to the second round. I mean he was constantly looking
- 3:26:06for the Finish. He was doing a great job and I
- 3:26:08fell so bad for Dan hooker because poor, her Dean was
- 3:26:11trying to just let him get slaughtered out there.
- 3:26:13It was like a bloodbath. He was just letting him die and
- 3:26:16he's kept let him take shots. But there's one moment in the
- 3:26:19second round. I believe is when BSD had two
- 3:26:23different points. He had a good like 20 or 30
- 3:26:25seconds. He had a dead hooker in the
- 3:26:28Army. Had an arm triangle choke as
- 3:26:30similar to the Armin circuit fight that Dan had at the end of
- 3:26:33the year and I thought, oh my God Dan hooker, he's gonna be
- 3:26:36finishing the same way but he is a tough SOB.
- 3:26:38He was hanging on for a long time.
- 3:26:40I couldn't believe that you know, BSD didn't sleep him right
- 3:26:43there but then again it shows Just how tough Dan hooker is.
- 3:26:46But again, like you said, it was a great dominant performance by
- 3:26:49BSD and, you know, he, you know, 2024 wasn't the best year for
- 3:26:53him, but he's really rebounded, last year, coming into this
- 3:26:55year, strong. That's four wins in a row for
- 3:26:57BSD. And like he said, he wants to be
- 3:26:59once the fight for the world title or either for the BMF
- 3:27:02title. So I personally give them the
- 3:27:05winner of Charles Oliveira Max Holloway, you know, after this
- 3:27:08March paper review because he put on a fantastic performance
- 3:27:11and obviously we know that date, she's the internship and he's
- 3:27:14probably gonna take on Iliad to poor so I would give them the
- 3:27:17winner Charles and Alex Holloway I think that would be a
- 3:27:20fantastic fight and then you could even throw in Patty
- 3:27:23pimblett right down there to fight dead hooker.
- 3:27:26And so you could have, you know, they've had their War online.
- 3:27:28So I think that's just setting up the lightweight division,
- 3:27:30great going forward, but yeah, excellent performance from Ben
- 3:27:33Watson Anthony. He's really, he's really started
- 3:27:36to come alive. He was a young Prospect who I
- 3:27:38think he got a little bit ahead of himself when he fought
- 3:27:40Dustin, Poirier Dustin, kind of, you know, set him up a little
- 3:27:43bit for failure but he's rebounded.
- 3:27:45Fantastically taking out Dan hooker and he looks just keep
- 3:27:48building off his success. Oh, he was fun to watch.
- 3:27:51I've watched him fight a couple of times, but I didn't know how
- 3:27:54dominating he would be in this fight against Dan hooker because
- 3:27:57Dan hooker early in the fight, he had a couple of straight leg
- 3:28:02kicks that pushed him off. You could set, you could see
- 3:28:04that Saint Denis was hurt early in the first round, you could
- 3:28:09see it. He was back in up.
- 3:28:10He didn't want to feel his power and Dan started to get confident
- 3:28:13and almost choked him out. He had Mean that darts for a
- 3:28:17second and then Saint, he got out of it and he tried to do it
- 3:28:20in a second round early in the second round two and Saint Denis
- 3:28:22is such a great ground fighter. He is as good as anybody.
- 3:28:26We've seen the UFC have, and this is the best weight class.
- 3:28:29This lightweight division is probably the best best class in
- 3:28:33the UFC right now, the dominant force and Ilya and then you have
- 3:28:36gay. If all these guys pimblett, and
- 3:28:39now you have sink to me. Saint Denis is absolutely
- 3:28:43probably one of the more dominant young players that
- 3:28:46we've seen come out of this way class.
- 3:28:48And out of the, the up and coming week classes that we talk
- 3:28:51about all the time. And we talk about the wealth
- 3:28:54away class for oh. So many years it was the most
- 3:28:56dominating class. Now, we look at this class and
- 3:28:59how great it is, and and I'm trying to figure out maybe Patty
- 3:29:04because he's such a, you know, he drops from 200 pounds to move
- 3:29:07up into that. That well to wait division, he
- 3:29:10might be a better fighter and that well to wait division
- 3:29:12because dropping as much weight as he does, you can.
- 3:29:15He that it drains him, and then he goes into a fight, where he's
- 3:29:18gaining 25 pounds, or 20 pounds in a night, eating all that
- 3:29:22starch and all that stuff. It slows him down.
- 3:29:24I think it's too much that Patty pimblett is dropping when you
- 3:29:27look at Saint Denis Saint Denis. He has a smaller frame than a
- 3:29:32Patty pimblett and he's got more of a cagey frame, but his
- 3:29:36ability to take you on the ground and just dominate you.
- 3:29:38And what he did against Dan hooker was pretty amazing.
- 3:29:41Because, Dan hooker is a good fighter, this is a guy that
- 3:29:44doesn't quit. He's tough.
- 3:29:46That's why they call him the hangman, because he doesn't hang
- 3:29:49out the dry. So, and what's great about what
- 3:29:52I saw and by the way, this guy's face doesn't rip, I mean, how
- 3:29:55many elbows did this Saint? Denis drop on Dan hooker's face
- 3:30:00and didn't really rip his skin. It's amazing.
- 3:30:02I for years, I watched Dan Henderson and I've seen Dan
- 3:30:05Henderson, get pulverized on, you know, on the mat.
- 3:30:08And, and his face would never rip.
- 3:30:10I mean, he had fake teeth but his face whenever ripped, and I
- 3:30:14seen so many fighters, Silver is another one that is faced never
- 3:30:17ripped and I've seen him get, you know, you know, at the tail
- 3:30:21end of his career, get pulverized.
- 3:30:22So when I watched guys, like Dan hooker, I not only is he tough,
- 3:30:27he's vicious and I unfortunately, he walked into a
- 3:30:31guy that wants to be Champion. He told Dana at the end of the
- 3:30:35fight. He said, listen I I jumped from
- 3:30:3712 to 8. Now I'm ready to fight number
- 3:30:39one. So let me jump a couple of
- 3:30:41spots. I want to be Champions so it
- 3:30:44says a lot about who he is. He's a French kid that really
- 3:30:47believes in his talent. This is a guy that was a soldier
- 3:30:50in the French army. I it's, you know, when you look
- 3:30:54at guys, that have grown so many times in such a short time, say
- 3:30:59a guy like Saint Denis is one of those guys that four fights in a
- 3:31:02row and a weight class. It's very hard to compete in.
- 3:31:05He definitely just serves a chance.
- 3:31:07I, I think you're right, whoever wins the Oliveira fight and Max
- 3:31:11Holloway, I think he should fight and that should set him
- 3:31:14off for a championship. Chip fight whoever wins the
- 3:31:16White House fight between him and gauge.
- 3:31:18But I think obviously with the UFC and Dana White, he loves
- 3:31:23Patty pimblett and pimblett really didn't lose his spot.
- 3:31:26He still there at number three or number four right now.
- 3:31:29So he had even know he got his butt whipped by gagie a week
- 3:31:34before he still sitting in the same spot.
- 3:31:36He was went before the fight before the after the last fight,
- 3:31:39he fought against gagey, so very interesting.
- 3:31:42And then there's the Alexander Vulcan oski fight.
- 3:31:45Now, I thought Diego Lopez was gonna come out differently.
- 3:31:49More, you know, aggressively. He didn't Vulcan allsky, it took
- 3:31:54him a little while. His timing came later in the
- 3:31:56rounds, but you have to beat the champion.
- 3:31:59And even in the first round, even though it was closed first
- 3:32:03round, I think Voca. Now ski did enough against
- 3:32:06Lopez, where there was no way he was going to lose that round.
- 3:32:09He, he won the round 10 to 9, I kind of slowly, but surely
- 3:32:13started to score the rounds. There was only one round that I
- 3:32:17thought that Lopez won. And that was the third round.
- 3:32:20That was the only round. I thought Lopez won.
- 3:32:22If the fourth round, he did not win the fifth round.
- 3:32:25He did not win the second round, he did not win.
- 3:32:28I was just to me what makes Alexander volcanos?
- 3:32:32One of the greatest Fighters I've ever seen come out of the
- 3:32:35USC is his footwork. His footwork is some of the best
- 3:32:40footwork I've ever seen. When you watched boxers, you
- 3:32:42watch like shoulder or or you watch all these great boxers
- 3:32:47that we've seen and all these lightweight box.
- 3:32:49Is that we're seeing right now? Dot in dominant.
- 3:32:52Fashion, even guys like tank Davis, who was probably gonna go
- 3:32:56to jail. The footwork is what really
- 3:32:58sells these Fighters and Vulcan allsky is not a boxer, but he
- 3:33:03fights like a boxer, and his footwork, his his distance to
- 3:33:07Lopez, he knows Lopez, is more stronger than he has more
- 3:33:10powerful than he is. He kept the distance, every time
- 3:33:13he needed to throw, you know, a Haymaker or he needed to to be
- 3:33:18accounted puncher. He was doing that and he was
- 3:33:20throwing enough kicks inside to keep him, keep him.
- 3:33:23Keep the score fair and keep Lopez away from getting inside
- 3:33:27and throwing his, you know, his combinations.
- 3:33:29Vulcano ski was one of the most dominant fights for guy that a
- 3:33:33lot of people thought if he lost the fight he was going to retire
- 3:33:35because there was a lot of there was a lot of stories coming out
- 3:33:38that if vulcano ski loses. And that's why they they made
- 3:33:41this fight in Australia because Dana White was looking at, as if
- 3:33:45he lose his, he can end his career and put his gloves in the
- 3:33:48middle of the ring. And And say his goodbyes, but
- 3:33:51that was, as dominant of us of a fight for volcanos.
- 3:33:55We seen Lopez is not a shoe in fighter.
- 3:33:57This is one of the best fighters UFC has.
- 3:33:59One of the toughest Fighters that UFC has and he absolutely
- 3:34:03dominated him in the fight. Yeah.
- 3:34:05I think he made a lot of good points like especially for
- 3:34:08volkanovski. I mean, it just shows.
- 3:34:09I mean, he's the old man, he just keeps fighting somehow, he
- 3:34:12keeps winning. And like you said, I was kind
- 3:34:14of. I was thinking that Diego Lopez
- 3:34:17was gonna make a lot of adjustments.
- 3:34:18I was kind of disappointed in his performance.
- 3:34:20I feel like this fight was different than the first one
- 3:34:23because the first one fell honestly, kind of like, the
- 3:34:26gatesy Patty fight. We just last week.
- 3:34:27It was a war. It was Bloody.
- 3:34:29It was crazy. It was just fists, fisticuffs
- 3:34:33all the way around. Both men trying to kill each
- 3:34:35other. This fight, I felt like the
- 3:34:37Diego's biggest, just went that he made.
- 3:34:39Was he tried to fight a more technically sound fight where he
- 3:34:43tried to take his moments and make smart striking advantages
- 3:34:46and he did drop full enough ski. I think it wasn't round three
- 3:34:49like You said, where was probably the one debatable round
- 3:34:51that he won. But other than that, to me, it
- 3:34:54just kind of seemed like Diego played it a little bit too safe.
- 3:34:57He was trying to be a little bit too technical because obviously
- 3:34:59he didn't want to get into another bloody war.
- 3:35:00I mean, apparently, that didn't matter, because he said after
- 3:35:04the fight, apparently Diego somehow broke both of his feet.
- 3:35:07So what it was, a war in the end of the day, but I felt like he
- 3:35:11just He was trying to be more smart more technical which in
- 3:35:15the long run was probably the smartest and the right game
- 3:35:18plan. But in the end it seems like
- 3:35:19Volk kind of just took advantage of his timidness.
- 3:35:22He backed him up as he wanted to, he got some takedowns in
- 3:35:24there and it just kind of seemed like the lawyer with Max
- 3:35:27Holloway, maybe or maybe Diego Lopez.
- 3:35:29He just doesn't have volcanos number and he can't get it done.
- 3:35:32But he's a phenomenal fighter. He's young enough to where he
- 3:35:35will definitely be Champion so day, although it is tough, of
- 3:35:38course because as a lot of people were speculating and
- 3:35:40saying Diego probably didn't exactly deserve this title shot
- 3:35:43being that he just fought volkanovski last year and this
- 3:35:46was a championship rematch with no fights under his belt.
- 3:35:49Previous to this first fight. So if I was personally, if I was
- 3:35:53the UFC, I would say the Diego should probably have to fight
- 3:35:56some contenders coming up to get another shot at the title.
- 3:35:58And who knows the vocal still be in there?
- 3:36:00I know that they recently just released the UFC London card
- 3:36:03where the main event will be Moss.
- 3:36:05Our heavy love and Rome Murphy, which will most likely be the
- 3:36:08number one Contender fight, which will be awesome.
- 3:36:10I'm excited to see both guys un Needed both guys looking for a
- 3:36:13title shot and for Diego Lopez. I would say he probably should
- 3:36:16take on yair Rodriguez or maybe an even an algebra main
- 3:36:20Sterling. He's moved up and he's moved
- 3:36:21into the top five after his win over Brian Ortega and he's
- 3:36:24looked good at that weight class, so I'm interested to see
- 3:36:26what Diego can do. You know, obviously still
- 3:36:29believe in him, he's a fantastic fighter.
- 3:36:30He just ran into arguably the greatest featherweight of all
- 3:36:33time and unfortunately, he just wasn't quite there at that skill
- 3:36:36level, despite that Volk is somehow 3637 years old.
- 3:36:39He's found the Fountain of Youth and he's a monster.
- 3:36:42He's unbelievable. But I'm really excited for that.
- 3:36:45Number one Contender ship fight, going forward.
- 3:36:47And like you said, I mean, it would have been the perfect
- 3:36:49send-off for Volk, but like he said he's he's got plenty of
- 3:36:52fuel left in the tank and he ain't ready to go out.
- 3:36:53Yeah, he was saying that he believes that he could find a
- 3:36:57couple more fights and and again Dana loves him and and the fans
- 3:37:00love him. Even here in the United States,
- 3:37:01they love him in Vegas. He's a big fan favorite and he
- 3:37:05sells seats, that's what he does.
- 3:37:07And and what's great about him and you watch guys like GSP and
- 3:37:12And all these other PJ BJ Penn over the years.
- 3:37:14These guys always were a draw and Vulcan, it wasn't like, just
- 3:37:19like GSP. He barely lost, GSP lost like
- 3:37:22two or three fights Vulcan allsky has lost like three
- 3:37:24fights in his whole career and Vulcan allsky is dominance over
- 3:37:28the last couple of years. You talk about the greatest
- 3:37:31fighters of all time when we talk about Jon Jones and
- 3:37:34Anderson Silva and a GSP, I would put Vulcan allsky right
- 3:37:39there up top with all those guys.
- 3:37:40He's been that kind of dominant fighter.
- 3:37:43We've seen over the years and what's I know a lot of people go
- 3:37:46at me and I put over I put a story out there and I got a send
- 3:37:49you send you that Jake I always write the story.
- 3:37:52He's after the fights and and I really go in the ends in the
- 3:37:55outs of each round. What I think vulcani is is this
- 3:37:59guy is one of the best at understanding when he gets into
- 3:38:03the ring. What he needs to do against
- 3:38:05every single fighter? He has a game plan, he doesn't
- 3:38:08do a lot like what gauge he does, where he completely
- 3:38:11changed the A game plan to try to take a head off as he said
- 3:38:14he's like, well, we had a game plan and I should have listened
- 3:38:16to my guys, but I wanted to take his head off.
- 3:38:19This guy has a game plan him and his team has a game plan and he
- 3:38:23follows the game plan. He kept his distance, he made
- 3:38:26sure A Lopez couldn't get inside.
- 3:38:27He couldn't throw those punches. The only punch that.
- 3:38:29He really clearly knocked him down.
- 3:38:31Even a lot of people thought he slipped, or he said he slipped,
- 3:38:33he hit him and he fell, but he got right back up.
- 3:38:36And that's why a lot of people didn't think he lost that many
- 3:38:38points in that round, even though that was the questionable
- 3:38:42round, it was completely dominated.
- 3:38:43My uncle told me he disagreed with my story because he watched
- 3:38:47the fight too. How did you think of the story
- 3:38:48complete dominance Vulcan? He absolutely dominated that
- 3:38:52fight. So, it wasn't even close and
- 3:38:55anybody that scored and, you know, mixed martial arts and you
- 3:38:58watch mixed martial arts. He says, it was boring.
- 3:39:00I said, no mixed martial arts or, you know, sometimes they're
- 3:39:04a fights that to try to take their heads off.
- 3:39:05Sometimes it's going to go on their ground.
- 3:39:06A lot of these rushing guys are going to take you down and try
- 3:39:09to dominate on the ground or you have guys like, what can ask me
- 3:39:11and Lope Is that they, they have a game plan against you.
- 3:39:14They're freaking out ski was afraid of Lopez's power.
- 3:39:18And you can tell that he was, and he made sure that he kept
- 3:39:21his distance. So he couldn't throw that right
- 3:39:23hook or that that left cross, that he usually throws to knock
- 3:39:26people out and that's why I think.
- 3:39:28Yeah. Lopez it has it has time to be a
- 3:39:30champion. Remember he's a Brazilian
- 3:39:32Mexican kid who has a lot of, you know, a lot of time to
- 3:39:36really grow in the UFC, he's still fairly young looking house
- 3:39:39keys 3738. How many years does he have
- 3:39:41left? Maybe two, if he stays at the
- 3:39:44top of his game, he might fight one more fight and I'll probably
- 3:39:48be the White House fight this year and then probably after,
- 3:39:52that'll be next year. And one of these guys Murphy or
- 3:39:55Moscow, how do you pronounce his name?
- 3:39:58Mazda's bar? He might, those guys might
- 3:40:02whoever wins this fight will probably fight him on the White
- 3:40:05House card. Three months from now, as long
- 3:40:06as they don't kill each other, or rip each other's face or
- 3:40:09break each other's noses. So that to me, They're they're
- 3:40:13planning for this White House. You know, this White House card
- 3:40:16to be a world. Renowned SuperCard.
- 3:40:18Yeah. The SuperCard of the year before
- 3:40:20Christmas time, when they always have a Supercar.
- 3:40:21But it's looking like, Jon Jones is gonna fight Pereira.
- 3:40:25That's what it seems like. It seems like that's gonna work
- 3:40:28out the way they want. I'm hearing that Conor McGregor
- 3:40:31could still fight on that card. I've been hearing some crazy
- 3:40:34stuff. Yeah, I mean he's pushing really
- 3:40:36hard for it. I mean and they said like
- 3:40:37they're at least Dana's gone his podcast and you know, Danny
- 3:40:40changes, his mind all the time but he said that the plan isn't
- 3:40:43Michael Chandler anymore. So who knows could be Max?
- 3:40:46Holloway could be Charles Oliver could be just in case you hell
- 3:40:49even if you know crazy enough it probably won't happen but they
- 3:40:51could even just to sell paper views, if that's all day care
- 3:40:54about. They could even somehow booklets
- 3:40:56of Poria. Not that that's gonna happen.
- 3:40:57But if you just wants to make money, it'd be held that line.
- 3:41:01Oh, anything with Conor McGregor on, on the card, is a headline
- 3:41:05and Jon Jones. Those are two biggest sellers
- 3:41:08Jon Jones and Conor McGregor, you know the president loves.
- 3:41:12Martial arts in the UFC goes to a lot of the fights and being at
- 3:41:16the White House. The first time, they're bringing
- 3:41:17the UFC to the White House is pretty incredible.
- 3:41:19I I would have never thought that the White House and
- 3:41:22Washington DC would allow this to happen.
- 3:41:25But you know, president Trump, he finds ways to deliver to the
- 3:41:29fans and he is delivering this. It's going to be great Jake.
- 3:41:32You're fantastic, man. You really are.
- 3:41:34We got to get John more often. You really are, you know, your
- 3:41:37USA. Sure.
- 3:41:37We should do it. I just wanted to say really
- 3:41:40quick, I did think you made a great point about Volk as well
- 3:41:43when you were talking about his discipline in the in the
- 3:41:45Octagon, the one thing I wanted to touch on, I think you nailed
- 3:41:48this completely perfectly. It's almost similar to like
- 3:41:51Scotty chefler on the golf course or Tom Brady.
- 3:41:53You know, on the fourth quarter drive, he never really seems to
- 3:41:57feel pressure or even when this is an exhaustion and his most
- 3:42:00like scariest parts of the fight.
- 3:42:02He always seems cool and calm Under Pressure.
- 3:42:05Even in the early fight which is the only fight he's lost.
- 3:42:08I believe in the last two or three years other than, you
- 3:42:10know, of course, Islam makhachev, He never really
- 3:42:12seemed to worry in his fights. Sure there's moments where he's
- 3:42:15getting popped and tagged, but he's always cool under pressure
- 3:42:18and I thought that you made an excellent point there that
- 3:42:20volkanovski and maybe that's just his veteran experience or
- 3:42:22getting hit in the head so many times of being in the Octagon.
- 3:42:25But he's to me honestly, that probably is one of the big
- 3:42:29factors with his that helped put him in that goat conversation of
- 3:42:32some of the best fighters of all time.
- 3:42:33His coolness Under Pressure, which is what Champions have.
- 3:42:36And what I think was one of the best qualities that makes him a
- 3:42:39champion. He said that after the fight,
- 3:42:41when they were any of you and he says, I found, I found a way
- 3:42:43later in around to, you know, change my style and make sure
- 3:42:47that that's what Champions do when you, when you step back and
- 3:42:50you realize that you gotta go, you going five rounds, you have
- 3:42:54to make sure that your winning in every single round and, and
- 3:42:58to me that's what makes him such a great competitor.
- 3:43:00I, I think he is the greatest not only greatest lightweight
- 3:43:04when you talk about Joseph, I loved Joseph.
- 3:43:07And I remember when he got knocked out by Conor McGregor
- 3:43:09and in about three seconds or whatever it Plus seven seconds,
- 3:43:12it fastest knockout that hurt, Josie Aldo, it really did it
- 3:43:17really ruined and hurt his career all his dominance from
- 3:43:20from one League, to the next coming to the UFC, it really
- 3:43:23hurt him and that's something that vulkan is never had.
- 3:43:27He's never been knocked out like that, and that's what makes
- 3:43:29volcanoes lightweight champion. And, and, yes, I would put him
- 3:43:34in the top five greatest fighters of all time because of
- 3:43:36the dominance that he has been dominating in this Division and
- 3:43:40in a great division, probably one of the better divisions in
- 3:43:43the last eight years. So and he's been as dominant of
- 3:43:46his Champion as we've seen. So absolutely Jake.
- 3:43:49Thank you for joining us. Hey, you got a heck?
- 3:43:52Why not hang around for dial that?
- 3:43:54Well, let's go, why not it should.
- 3:43:56All right, ladies and gentlemen, we call the final segment of the
- 3:43:59night, dial it up, win up. This regularly scheduled an
- 3:44:03important. We got a big brother All right
- 3:44:12guys. Welcome back to dial it.
- 3:44:15All everyone's favorite lightning round Sports News
- 3:44:19segment. We're gonna give you some
- 3:44:21stories. Arrow has no idea what's coming.
- 3:44:24And he is going to give us a take and we're going to react to
- 3:44:26his takes in a little bit of a lightning round arrow.
- 3:44:29Take a look these are the all-star rosters for the
- 3:44:34All-Star Game on Valentine's Day.
- 3:44:36Weekend coming up in a week. We got on the left, the Western
- 3:44:41starter, Steph Curry, Luka, doncic.
- 3:44:43You'll just Alexander Nicole, yokich, and Victor wembanyama.
- 3:44:48The reserves were announced I believe a day ago or two days
- 3:44:51ago, the first ever Israeli All-Star.
- 3:44:55At any of the, for the West Devin Booker, Kevin Durant,
- 3:44:58Anthony Edwards, Chet Holmgren LeBron continuing his streak of
- 3:45:03All Star Games and Jamal Murray on the east Giannis and Jaylen
- 3:45:09Brown, I guess are technically the forwards and Bronson Jalen
- 3:45:13Brunson, the King of New York, Cade, Cunningham and Tyrese
- 3:45:16Maxey. Starting as a three guards
- 3:45:18rotation, the reserves, Scotty Barnes, jail in the center for
- 3:45:23the Detroit, Jalen Johnson and everyone's favorite Center.
- 3:45:31In New York Karl Anthony towns Arrow.
- 3:45:35How you feel about these rosters dial?
- 3:45:37First of all, why is LeBron James on this roster?
- 3:45:40LeBron James has not been an elite player all season long
- 3:45:44there. I think his record from double
- 3:45:47double games. I mean getting 10 points on more
- 3:45:50this year was broken after his whole career, he has not been
- 3:45:53the dominant force that he was. I don't know why he's not, he's
- 3:45:56on this West unless this is his final year.
- 3:45:59But he's never announced that, this is finally here, so it
- 3:46:01doesn't make any sense. So I expect them to play next
- 3:46:04year. So the NBA is just really
- 3:46:06putting them there because he's LeBron James.
- 3:46:08But the rosters are pretty, even I think it'll be fun to watch.
- 3:46:11But, you know, this is like an exhibition bout.
- 3:46:14These guys don't play defense. They don't really go out there
- 3:46:16and put up a great fight and this isn't the old days the 90s
- 3:46:20when Michael Jordan was playing Kobe Bryant, it was fun to
- 3:46:22watch, it's not like this. They're doing stupid alley.
- 3:46:25Oops, bang, the ball, Bingo smacked, the backboard and do
- 3:46:30all these stuff. I'm surprised they don't do with
- 3:46:31the Earl man goat. When you put on a 20 dollar,
- 3:46:33bill on a top of the image, trying to take it off.
- 3:46:35It's pathetic. It's absolutely pathetic.
- 3:46:37I I know everybody is pointing it out there.
- 3:46:40This could be the last year you see Giannis on Milwaukee next
- 3:46:43year, you might see him with the Knicks or Miami or in the
- 3:46:46western conference with the Timberwolves, who knows?
- 3:46:49I honestly think the Eastern Conference is a little bit
- 3:46:52better than the West. When you look at the reserves,
- 3:46:54then the starters, I, you just kind of snatched the words out
- 3:46:57of my mouth. The last part of that sake.
- 3:46:58I mean, you look at the teams, they're pretty much what we
- 3:47:00expected. Like you said.
- 3:47:02I don't agree, why Lebron is even on the team at all.
- 3:47:04It's really just the lja, like we've always mentioned on the
- 3:47:06show. But, um, really what I want to
- 3:47:08get into is like what you were mentioning.
- 3:47:10It's really not much of a game. Anyways, it's really just the
- 3:47:13honor. It's really just saying you got
- 3:47:14picked as an All-Star which of course, is a good on her and
- 3:47:17it's in and of itself. It's just however, we see the
- 3:47:19game and as Stephen A like to call it flag basket ball.
- 3:47:23I don't know how I managed to have two hands such a
- 3:47:25basketball, but that's what we've been witnessing every
- 3:47:27single year. And the fact is that Adam
- 3:47:29Silver, they show this meme every year with Adam Silver, and
- 3:47:32he's just going over to the board and wiping it clean.
- 3:47:34Because every year a new format, every year, some new Bigger
- 3:47:38whatnot and it's really not even he's one of the ugliest people
- 3:47:42to look at to man. You have the fish drop doesn't
- 3:47:44look like Dracula. Oh, he's got the weirdest ears
- 3:47:48and he's got the biggest nose. I I could.
- 3:47:50You imagine standing in front. First of all, the guy is long as
- 3:47:53hell. Could you imagine him standing
- 3:47:54face-to-face with you and poking you in the eye with his nose?
- 3:47:57I mean, like Pinocchio, I mean he lies more than he actually
- 3:48:02tells the truth. So I I could see him doing
- 3:48:05something like that. It's like if Dobby the elf was
- 3:48:07really tall, that's what he looks like.
- 3:48:10He looks like Bobby. That's exactly what he looks
- 3:48:12like. He really does look like Dobby.
- 3:48:14Do you got to put that together? Adam Silver.
- 3:48:17Oh right. Absolutely too busy making
- 3:48:23Nathan Graphics. Well, this one was fantastic.
- 3:48:27We have a guy who's won seven Grand Slams, including now the
- 3:48:32career Grand Slam, all by the age of 22.
- 3:48:37Los alcarez wins the Australian Open.
- 3:48:40That is the last one on his list.
- 3:48:43Beating Novak Djokovic in four sets 266263 and 75.
- 3:48:50Making him the number one player in the world it gives him the
- 3:48:56career Grand Slam. He joins Djokovic Andre Agassi
- 3:49:00Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal who did it at 24 years old as
- 3:49:05the only men to ever complete the Grand Slam in the open era.
- 3:49:10When I read that I forgot Sampras didn't do that.
- 3:49:14I guess he Sampras famously wasn't good on clay, know.
- 3:49:17So, I I'm assuming that's the one he didn't win but this
- 3:49:21obviously Errol. This gets for real.
- 3:49:25He's maybe the next big guy, so dial it.
- 3:49:29So, let me tell you something. I used to watch Pete, Sampras,
- 3:49:32and Andre Agassi. Go at it every time they played
- 3:49:35at Wimbledon Pete, Sampras used to kick his ass.
- 3:49:37But when they played in clay in Australia, it was always going
- 3:49:41to Andre Agassi, Andre Agassi, only really beat Pete.
- 3:49:45Sampras on Clay. They would, I think it was only
- 3:49:47one time that he beat him on grass, but it was a great
- 3:49:51matchup when I was a kid. I used to love watching Andre
- 3:49:53Agassi. He was my favorite, my favorite
- 3:49:55tennis player, I, and by the way, he married Stephanie Groff
- 3:49:58another great tennis player too. But Carlos Alcatraz is one of
- 3:50:04the best tennis players I've seen at the age of 22 better
- 3:50:08than guys like Nadal and all those other guys I've watched
- 3:50:14him play twice, I watched him play on or Australia and I
- 3:50:17watched the play for Wimbledon, this guy is so fast.
- 3:50:20It's such a great serve can move up and down the court as good as
- 3:50:24anybody I've ever seen. When you talk about some of the
- 3:50:27greatest tennis players that can do all the Things, right?
- 3:50:30Backhand forehand he gets to the net, hits the ball.
- 3:50:34You know, it, I think it's his serve goes, 130 miles 135 miles
- 3:50:39per hour. I mean, could you imagine a butt
- 3:50:41tennis ball coming? Not fast at you.
- 3:50:42I mean, it's scary. How good this young kid is 22
- 3:50:46years old and is ready. Won four championships.
- 3:50:49I mean, this guy is I, he could go down as the greatest can, if
- 3:50:53he stays healthy, he could go down as the greatest tennis
- 3:50:55player of all time when it comes to individual sports.
- 3:50:57It's definitely one of the fastest, if not, the fastest,
- 3:50:59like, in starting surge. I remember him first in 2023, I
- 3:51:03believe it was with Wimbledon because I remember I my friend
- 3:51:06Paulo doesn't bet with us anymore but he had a bet on him.
- 3:51:08At the time he was like 19 years old.
- 3:51:09Yeah I don't think he was like as big of a favorite even at
- 3:51:12that time he was even dominant in that stretch.
- 3:51:14I believe it was Wimbledon in 2023, then he won Wimbledon
- 3:51:172024. That's the first time I saw him
- 3:51:18play and it's really so fast. You mentioned a dolls the same
- 3:51:22country as him, but both being from Spain.
- 3:51:23This is the faster start to his career too.
- 3:51:25So definitely the sky is the limit for.
- 3:51:26Oh he said he's way better than adults when he Started, I mean,
- 3:51:30doll, it took him a couple of years to get his feet wet before
- 3:51:33he won his first championship. This guy within within three
- 3:51:36years, this guy is the most dominant, but tennis player of
- 3:51:39all time. I most dominant tennis player
- 3:51:42right now in the world and could go down.
- 3:51:44I don't know who's gonna be. I mean the way you watch this
- 3:51:48guy play, I I've never seen a guy just dominate the game as
- 3:51:52good as him and he's not just beating you he's dominating.
- 3:51:55Yeah dominating you six two six. One six nothing.
- 3:51:59I mean there guys not even coming close to this kid.
- 3:52:03So All right, let's move on to the next one.
- 3:52:06This one is absolutely hilarious, and I got a video for
- 3:52:10it. Here we go.
- 3:52:12And if you like tennis, we talked some UFC.
- 3:52:16Here's some boxing. I don't know if you caught this.
- 3:52:19Yes. But there was a boxing match
- 3:52:21that just produced one of the best viral moments you've ever
- 3:52:24seen. So this story is we have Jarrell
- 3:52:29Miller who wins this fight gets hit Square in the face.
- 3:52:34A couple of times leading his two, pay to Flap up in the
- 3:52:39middle of the match. Let's take a look at it live
- 3:52:42real quick here. It was actually, you can see it
- 3:52:48just kind of popping off already.
- 3:52:51And it's just gonna fly. Oh, It, that's just
- 3:52:59unbelievable. It's a strange decision to go
- 3:53:03with a hair piece in a boxing match.
- 3:53:05Obviously, a pretty good hair piece but that didn't matter.
- 3:53:10I guess they don't have it in this club.
- 3:53:12I thought they do show it, he throws it into the crowd and
- 3:53:17rips it off his head. Officially before he gets back
- 3:53:19to fighting. This guy is awesome.
- 3:53:23I don't know what else to say, other than gosh, or not gonna be
- 3:53:28I mean they're not going to beat the top boxers in the world
- 3:53:32heavyweight boxers in the world, but they're fun to watch.
- 3:53:35They were aggressively attacking each other.
- 3:53:37It was funny when he's too pay fell off and slowly but surely
- 3:53:41in any threw it out in the audience I would have loved to
- 3:53:43catch that to pay. Because I would have said, hey
- 3:53:45could you sign this for me or something or maybe I'll see him
- 3:53:49in the future and have them sign?
- 3:53:51And I'm the one according to pay, but it was to me.
- 3:53:54That's what you want to see. Boxing fights be heavyweight
- 3:53:57fights like that. When they're beating the crap at
- 3:53:59each other, they went full frontal.
- 3:54:02The whole fight. They went straight at each
- 3:54:04other. These two guys are fun to watch
- 3:54:06and he's very fun to watch even after the fight, when when the
- 3:54:09ring announcer came to him and he is interviewing.
- 3:54:12He says, well, what was it like getting into the ring and and he
- 3:54:15says, how did, how did I feel when your hair fell off?
- 3:54:18He says, listen. I know I, I want to entertain
- 3:54:21people. That's why I'm here.
- 3:54:22And boy that was entertainment for him, so it was great to
- 3:54:26watch. It was fun and obviously, you
- 3:54:28know, make Small shallots is really been dominating over the
- 3:54:30last couple of years, so boxing needs something like that, to
- 3:54:34bring back the fun in the game and and the sports.
- 3:54:39Yeah, I think you're right. I mean if anything I'm not if
- 3:54:42you're the fan who catches that that's a that's a trophy.
- 3:54:45That's like that's a souvenir for a lifetime.
- 3:54:47You have that memory for you? I can't remember who it was.
- 3:54:49It was it, man. It was a Pacquiao who knocked
- 3:54:52out Floyd's tooth. And then it was he put it on a
- 3:54:54chain for himself. Like he had that as a momento.
- 3:54:57You know, he didn't win the fight, but yeah.
- 3:54:59Like the two play like that. I mean, that's great.
- 3:55:01Like you said, you never gonna be Champion if you're worried
- 3:55:04about your hair piece in a, in a of fighting, or in a, you know,
- 3:55:09combat sport. It's great though.
- 3:55:11It's hilarious. You know, you gotta love the
- 3:55:13commitment to the and I mean, if you got the win, hey, you know
- 3:55:16what, man? You you rocked, maybe, maybe you
- 3:55:19rock it again. Maybe it's a distraction.
- 3:55:20I don't know how he was allowed to go out there with that
- 3:55:23because, you know, most times when the referees that give you
- 3:55:26the warm up before soaring a UFC, when they give you the
- 3:55:28Vaseline and make sure there's no visible Cuts or obstructions
- 3:55:32on your body or on your person. I mean, I don't know how he's
- 3:55:35not that one past the athletic commission, but I guess good on
- 3:55:37it was a good moment. That's pretty funny.
- 3:55:39It is. And again, if you're a boxing
- 3:55:42fan that's something that you want to see.
- 3:55:43I mean, Mike Tyson biting Holyfield's ear that really, you
- 3:55:47know, that was like the blooper of the weekend.
- 3:55:50That was the blooper of The Weeknd on ESPN, watching his
- 3:55:53hair piece come off. So it was something that was
- 3:55:55drawing boxing fans because the short fight was a great fight
- 3:55:59and shoulders one of the, the best fighters right now in all
- 3:56:02the boxing. But people forget that boxing
- 3:56:05really, has not been a draw. All these years and and mixed
- 3:56:08martial arts in the way, Dana White is promoting his product
- 3:56:10there. He's driving it away from
- 3:56:12boxing, and I think something funny like that or something
- 3:56:15that stands out like that will drive boxing fans, especially in
- 3:56:18the heavyweight division to watch.
- 3:56:20As we all know, Fury is coming back for another fight which is
- 3:56:23something that I'm excited for. So all right, let's keep it
- 3:56:26going. We're gonna go into what they
- 3:56:29call you know, plans or predetermined outcome fighting.
- 3:56:36Oh yes, the phenomenal one if you will.
- 3:56:40AJ Styles, shocked the world and actually lost his retirement
- 3:56:46match. The first one that he had,
- 3:56:48usually wrestlers have like a dozen retirement matches until
- 3:56:53they finally retire so that they could finish their run, John
- 3:56:57Cena. Just had a year-long retirement
- 3:57:00tour and which AJ Styles actually faced him, a couple of
- 3:57:03months ago, he kind of shocked everyone Gunther who is now the
- 3:57:07retirement, I don't know. What are they calling him Tommy?
- 3:57:10Well now you're I don't know if like it's a name, I don't know
- 3:57:13the career Ender or something because he killer ended.
- 3:57:16The Lett mall is not the Legends, but this guy's
- 3:57:19Gunther's, stop now, AJ Styles, John Cena and Bill Goldberg.
- 3:57:24Either way that guy is in the next guy, they're giving him the
- 3:57:26rub and AJ Styles 25 years in the business was for the longest
- 3:57:32time. The best wrestler in the world.
- 3:57:34That wasn't in the WWE. Have the booty. when he gets to
- 3:57:38WWE in 2015 at the Royal Rumble, where he retired, 10 ladies,
- 3:57:45Arrow. This guy's one of the all-time
- 3:57:47greats, Roman Reigns won the Royal Rumble for the men live
- 3:57:51Morgan. New Jersey North Jersey Bergen
- 3:57:54County. The finest of Bergen County won.
- 3:57:58The women's Royal Rumble, Errol. You were asking me about this
- 3:58:03all week, dial it up all. I can't wait to get to that one.
- 3:58:06So what I heard is AJ as some significant injuries And WWE, he
- 3:58:15actually told the WWE. This is what I heard that he
- 3:58:19wants to step away. I don't know what happened.
- 3:58:22I heard he had back problems over the years and something
- 3:58:26happened over the last couple of months and he probably I think
- 3:58:30he told the, the WWE that this is gonna be his last fight that
- 3:58:34he's done, and he's gonna, you know, wrap it up.
- 3:58:37So, I think that this was a surprise to the WWE because I
- 3:58:40think he told Triple H A couple of weeks ago that he wants this
- 3:58:44to be his final match. So I'm not surprised I did look.
- 3:58:48I did research it, I didn't know we were talking about this
- 3:58:51because I was speaking to you about this but I heard that AJ
- 3:58:55Styles. Had to step down had to leave
- 3:58:57wrestling because of injuries, significant injuries and
- 3:59:01possibly a surgery. So that's what I heard.
- 3:59:04Yeah. So the stuff that I heard was
- 3:59:06mostly that he just wasn't confident doing his types of
- 3:59:11moves because he didn't Easy stuff.
- 3:59:13You know AJ Styles had moves that were banned like the Styles
- 3:59:18Clash is finisher was banned in WWE.
- 3:59:20Anyone doing that? Move?
- 3:59:21Not because it was AJ's moves because it's freaking dangerous.
- 3:59:24You know normally on moves you're supposed to tuck your
- 3:59:28chin like this. So you don't hurt yourself hurt
- 3:59:31your neck. On that one, you actually have
- 3:59:32to do the opposite and it's, it's actually it's it's
- 3:59:35something that hurts somebody early in AJ's career wasn't
- 3:59:38really AJ's fault, but it's a move that got banned.
- 3:59:41He made a name for himself in Japan.
- 3:59:44He made a name for himself all over the globe tiene.
- 3:59:48I have a feeling now when he retired, he did he did the thing
- 3:59:52where, you know you were supposed to put your gear in the
- 3:59:54center of the Ring. He was about to put his famous
- 3:59:57AJ, glove's in the middle of the ring and he didn't, he put them
- 4:00:01back on kind of insinuating, that he will be back, probably
- 4:00:06for a mini run back with either tiene since they're back going
- 4:00:10or you know, maybe he shows Up at like next year's you know,
- 4:00:14Royal Rumble or Summer Slam like to attack.
- 4:00:18Yeah, whatever there was something I'm sorry to cut you
- 4:00:21off time. There's something, there's
- 4:00:23something going on with injury. I'm telling you that either.
- 4:00:27He's having surgery, something, and I've been reading different
- 4:00:31things on social media. That a lot of the fans, believe
- 4:00:35that he needs surgery. And that's why, and he doesn't
- 4:00:38know how he, what what's gonna happen after the surgery.
- 4:00:41If he's going to be able to fight again, or he's going to
- 4:00:43have to walk away. And that's probably why he
- 4:00:46wanted this to be his final retirement match.
- 4:00:48Now I wanted to touch on something that fish just mention
- 4:00:50as well too. But you know, of course, the
- 4:00:54singing went the momentum of, you know, leaving your gear in
- 4:00:56the ring and whatnot. I have, of course, Fishers
- 4:00:59mentioned, I think he's gonna finish his run over in TNA and
- 4:01:01you're right at all. I do I have heard of course, is
- 4:01:03injury. Within the last year, AJ has
- 4:01:05somewhat been more injury prone as he has been throughout the
- 4:01:08rest of his career, he gets a injury here in there, what not?
- 4:01:11But my thing is that within the last year, it's he's getting up
- 4:01:13there in age and he already did say, you know, 2026 will be his
- 4:01:17last year didn't want to, of course, do it.
- 4:01:19Within the last couple of months, they didn't want to take
- 4:01:20over John Cena's shein. His retirement tour but, um, it
- 4:01:24all makes sense for him and pointing at tiene this.
- 4:01:27The place that really put him on the map more than he already is.
- 4:01:29Now the spot that you know is really coming back and we really
- 4:01:33rejuvenating within the last two years.
- 4:01:35Tiene is now on a major Network on AMC.
- 4:01:37They finally got a TV deal. Done no longer on YouTube having
- 4:01:40a watch with those ads or whatnot.
- 4:01:41Um, you know, it all makes sense with all the talent over there.
- 4:01:45Now, with even one of the guys we met last year and at the
- 4:01:47Super Bowl, AJ Francis has many Talent over there.
- 4:01:50Leon Slater, there's a lot of talent and a lot of guys over
- 4:01:53there that it all makes sense for him to finish have a bit of
- 4:01:56a run, two months run, a couple matches here and there putting a
- 4:01:59couple guys over over in TNA. Yeah, I really one of the few
- 4:02:03guys I've ever been like super excited about that came over to
- 4:02:07WWE from somewhere else. All right, so last story for the
- 4:02:11night arrow, you mentioned this earlier talking to Quinn and
- 4:02:15coals. And man, I did not know that
- 4:02:18this story was going to take this turn because the mystery
- 4:02:22woman. is not yet revealed, but we have now at least a report
- 4:02:31That Brittany is real. Yes, Arrow Brittany I guess
- 4:02:36Rogers. I don't know if she took his
- 4:02:38last name or not but According to Jen Hale, who reporting for
- 4:02:45Fox Sports, I can't say who she is.
- 4:02:49If I could, I would, but I can't, he's happy, he's in a
- 4:02:55really good spot. so, What in the world is going on here?
- 4:03:00So here's the deal, apparently Raw everybody knows hail told
- 4:03:06the Daily Mail. I can't say who she is.
- 4:03:08I've never met her. I don't know.
- 4:03:11Her Aaron has become a friend over the years so I wish him the
- 4:03:16very best. I think he's happy and that's
- 4:03:18all you want for your people. You want them to find their
- 4:03:21comfort zone in their happiness. He went through some tough
- 4:03:24really tough times where such a good place now but closed.
- 4:03:30So, Errol. Miss Hale is kind of
- 4:03:34insinuating. That famous person.
- 4:03:38That Aaron Rodgers is married to this Brittany.
- 4:03:41You want to jerk me off? Could this possibly be the
- 4:03:45Brittany that once asked to hit her baby one more time?
- 4:03:48I got a little first of all, at first of all, because how does
- 4:03:54how does this reporter actually know that Aaron Rodgers is
- 4:03:58married to a woman named Brittany?
- 4:03:59Why? Because their friends, and he
- 4:04:01said it, she never even met her. So how would she know?
- 4:04:04That's what I want to know. How would, you know?
- 4:04:07Because you're Aaron Rodgers friends.
- 4:04:09Nobody not even including his friends.
- 4:04:11People that have known him even people that we've had on the
- 4:04:14show, knows if this story is true, but she knows she's a
- 4:04:18reporter. I know that Aaron Rodgers is
- 4:04:20married. I know he's in a good place.
- 4:04:22How the hell do you know? He's in a good place?
- 4:04:24Well, you never met the lady. Oh, I want to know, is, if you
- 4:04:27think she exists? Why haven't you met her?
- 4:04:30Nobody else has all we know, is her name is Brittany.
- 4:04:33And like I said, The only person I believe or thing that he named
- 4:04:38Brittany is his hand that he jokes off with honest.
- 4:04:41To God. There is no way.
- 4:04:43This woman exists because if she did, somebody would have seen
- 4:04:47her. Nobody knows that she exists.
- 4:04:50All we know is ever Rodgers wears.
- 4:04:52A black ring on his throwing arm.
- 4:04:54That's it. That's all we know.
- 4:04:56So anybody could be wearing a ring, Speedy could be wearing a
- 4:04:59ring. I could be wearing a ring.
- 4:05:01Does that mean I'm married to some woman named Brittany.
- 4:05:03My girlfriend's name is Brittany, but I mean, at least
- 4:05:06I'm honest about it. I mean, people have actually
- 4:05:08seen her, nobody seen Aaron Rodgers Brittany.
- 4:05:12And now we have a reporter who says that he's she's very good
- 4:05:16friends with and and says oh I know she exists because Aaron's
- 4:05:20in a good place. Aaron's never in a good place.
- 4:05:22The only time he's in a good place is when he's high.
- 4:05:25Give me a break. It's a lie.
- 4:05:27It's a cheat. What a joke there is no
- 4:05:30Brittany. Yeah, unless it's like one of
- 4:05:32Jed Hales, very close to friends.
- 4:05:34Who's not gonna be like that famous where she would have her
- 4:05:37own anyway like it doesn't make a lot of sense or maybe even
- 4:05:40Brittany is a cover me with this boy for somebody who's actually
- 4:05:42famous but doesn't want to get reveal her herself or whatever.
- 4:05:45Maybe just not wanting to hide in Aaron Rodgers a secret bunker
- 4:05:49and doesn't look so I was saying it doesn't make a lot of stuff.
- 4:05:52There's a lot more conspiracy theories.
- 4:05:53This could go around and Aaron Rodgers and her name.
- 4:05:56Really is Brittany. You better watch out for Nathan
- 4:05:58because you if it wants to Brittany too, it has to be shut
- 4:06:02the music honest to God. Oh, you know, Tommy wanted to
- 4:06:06get something. I think we all wanted to have,
- 4:06:07but I was just gonna say, was that actually it is reported.
- 4:06:12I was rumored and heard that, you know, he actually met her
- 4:06:16and one of his darker, Darkness Retreats, you know, he kind of
- 4:06:18met her in the dark, he's sitting there just kind of
- 4:06:20reaching for his Iowa Oscar. And yeah, there we go.
- 4:06:23It's like love that first sight. Wasn't that site?
- 4:06:25It was that love at first hand. Love at first hallucination.
- 4:06:28It was his hands that he thought was a woman.
- 4:06:31Yeah. And honestly who really gives a
- 4:06:34shit. I don't I don't personally care.
- 4:06:38I could I could care less if we find out tomorrow next year,
- 4:06:40you're after. Yeah, he's gonna be in
- 4:06:44retirement on anytime soon anyways.
- 4:06:45So, Well, I mean he could be retiring but he could be getting
- 4:06:51the Fountain of Youth in the darkness.
- 4:06:53You know with the Joshua Tree hanging out my indoor me.
- 4:06:57Hanging out with Nathan probably Nathan's hanging out with
- 4:07:00shoulder at the Pro Bowl for tomorrow.
- 4:07:04I you know, Nathan is going to the Pro Bowl.
- 4:07:07But maybe lose it, maybe Brittany.
- 4:07:11It's like one of those like names where you have to like
- 4:07:14because it's it's a weird spelling, maybe it's one of
- 4:07:17those anagrams and we have to decipher the real name.
- 4:07:21From the letters. Speedy we're going to put you on
- 4:07:23that one and we'll figure out which is will break.
- 4:07:26Those are secret secret. Celebrity a couple are different
- 4:07:29things because the small chance that might be Lisa had British,
- 4:07:33that's all that. Honestly, if it was an adult
- 4:07:36film star that would make it the funny stuff.
- 4:07:39Yeah. Come on.
- 4:07:40My name is First of all, Nathan China try to get Lisa an even to
- 4:07:50go up to a room would probably be, he probably have to give her
- 4:07:54a couple, a thousand dollars for her to even walk up the stairs
- 4:07:58to his dorm room because he's staying with her is xan is an in
- 4:08:02his uncle. I mean I there is he's hanging
- 4:08:05out. What she's doing her eating,
- 4:08:06whatever that is whatever, San Francisco clam, chowder and Red
- 4:08:10Bull. Look at that smile on his face.
- 4:08:13That does look like Nathan and the blue blazer.
- 4:08:16Oh my God, what a terrible? You think that they think that
- 4:08:19they mined at each other on their date?
- 4:08:21They didn't talk. They just first of all, at least
- 4:08:24and would not even speak to know.
- 4:08:26Nathan would be Nathan is like five foot six.
- 4:08:30At best and Lisa Ann is like five nine.
- 4:08:33Do you think that Lisa Ann would look at nithin at for five
- 4:08:37seconds more than him coming up in him stuttering going.
- 4:08:40But but these are that's different.
- 4:08:46That's different. I I would love to see Lisa Ann
- 4:08:51talk to Nathan for five minutes and see how he would react to
- 4:08:54it. I mean, this guy is infatuated
- 4:08:57with this lady. Absolutely infection with her
- 4:09:00and he's never met her never met her.
- 4:09:02So there he is. This guy is, he's a weirdo.
- 4:09:12I can tell you that right now. And if He runs after them.
- 4:09:20Yo, yo, yo, yo, you know who I am nrla nrla.
- 4:09:24Yeah, it barely knows how to say that.
- 4:09:26I love you, Nathan, but he's, he's going to San Francisco on
- 4:09:31our stand and hopefully he gets some good interviews for us and,
- 4:09:36and get some good proposed personalities to come on a show
- 4:09:41in the future. But as far as I'm concerned,
- 4:09:44nithin is one of the weirdest people you'll ever meet.
- 4:09:46And if there's any women around, where, He really.
- 4:09:56Nathan his eyes, he he wears the same outfits every single day,
- 4:10:01every single day, it's the blue blazer.
- 4:10:04He wears that he wears this read, like, what did they call
- 4:10:08that polo shirts. Camo, pants, camel pants.
- 4:10:12He wears the same crap every day and I'm surprised all the guys
- 4:10:17that he meets over and over again.
- 4:10:18Like he meets athletes over and over and over again at these
- 4:10:22autograph signings. I'm surprised nobody says, hey,
- 4:10:24didn't you wear that last time? He needs to put that.
- 4:10:30That blue blazer to rest, guys. Oh wow, you have that one.
- 4:10:34Oh, it's supposed to be Don King over there like that.
- 4:10:44This guy. And and after all the Kobe
- 4:10:48Bryant stories and all that other stuff, he jumps in a
- 4:10:51helicopter in South Africa. When it's very windy over there.
- 4:10:53What is he nuts? I would definitely not do that.
- 4:10:56I mean, that guy is one of, he's definitely one in a million and
- 4:11:01if he's listening, you know, I love you Nathan, but you are one
- 4:11:04of the weirdest people I've ever met my entire life.
- 4:11:06Just, you are weird. Could you imagine, if if I went
- 4:11:11to San Francisco, I would have been with Nathan in Speedy.
- 4:11:14Those would be my guys. Could you imagine me walk around
- 4:11:17with these two guys? I mean Speedy with his
- 4:11:20personality and then Nathan running around with that blue
- 4:11:23blazer and his khakis front, massage pants.
- 4:11:27I mean, I mean, the list time, we went out to Hofstra to this
- 4:11:33autograph signing, I had to tell Nathan, we walked into the room
- 4:11:36that his pants was zippered unzipped, and that his underwear
- 4:11:40was hanging out of his pants. Speedy.
- 4:11:41Remember that vaguely? Yeah.
- 4:11:43So I said zipper your pants and he was like, oh, You know, and
- 4:11:49and then he actually walked up to people and and he was trying
- 4:11:52to introduce us, I gotta say, nithin does know a lot of
- 4:11:55people, he's very likable person but he's one of the weirdest
- 4:11:57people anyways. That's it.
- 4:11:59So that's it for our show ladies and gentlemen.
