• 1:46
  enthusiastic it there's, there's just too much personality on the
• 1:50
  show. We are now talking to former and
• 1:53
  founder and CEO of Steiner Sports.
• 1:57
  The one and only, the man, the myth, the legend.
• 2:02
  Brandon Steiner. Brandon, what's up, buddy?
• 2:05
  Hello. Wow, a lot of energy going on on
• 2:08
  that show. I expect nothing less from the
• 2:11
  two of you and Miss Job. I don't get to see him as often
• 2:14
  as I used to, but he's still a legend.
• 2:16
  Well, at least the New Yorkie is.
• 2:18
  What's up Brandon, How you been, man?
• 2:20
  I've been phenomenal. Everything is great rocking and
• 2:23
  rolling. By the way, a little footnote,
• 2:25
  you know, I've listened to the show for a little while and I
• 2:28
  hear you about the Aaron, Aaron Rodgers thing.
• 2:30
  But there is a thing, you know, Mike Tomlin, I mean, he's, he's
• 2:36
  a great coach and I think he figured out a way to use Aaron a
• 2:39
  lot better than maybe The Jets did.
• 2:41
  Here's the thing. And I, I, I, you might be right.
• 2:44
  And I'm not saying Mike Tomlin. Throw that out.
• 2:46
  I'm not saying Mike Tomlin isn't a great coach, he's a winning
• 2:49
  coach. But guess what?
• 2:50
  Mike Tomlin 8 consecutive seasons going into the first
• 2:54
  round and being eliminated, he doesn't win the big game.
• 2:57
  I'm not saying Mike Tomlin doesn't figure out ways to get
• 3:00
  his quarterbacks to play well. He did it with Justin Fields, he
• 3:03
  did it with Russell Wilson, so he got those guys to play for
• 3:07
  him. And then going to the playoffs,
• 3:08
  at one point he was using Mason Rudolph.
• 3:10
  So it's not like Mike Tomlin doesn't know what he's doing.
• 3:14
  The problem with Mike Tomlin over the last couple of years is
• 3:17
  he just doesn't know how to get over the hump.
• 3:19
  And, and to say that I, I, I don't know if he figured out
• 3:22
  Aaron Rodgers. I think he just lets Aaron
• 3:24
  Rodgers be Aaron Rodgers. And what Aaron Rodgers likes to
• 3:27
  do is step inside the pocket and as long as he gets time to throw
• 3:32
  the ball, he's going to make those throws.
• 3:34
  They brought in DK Metcalf, they have other running back weapons.
• 3:38
  They have Warren, they have they brought in Gainwell, they have
• 3:42
  weapons and their offensive line is played a little bit better so
• 3:45
  far over the last couple of games.
• 3:47
  So I was very shocked to their defense played against
• 3:51
  Indianapolis. I will get into a little bit
• 3:53
  later. I Daniel Jones.
• 3:55
  That was the first time I could say that Daniel Jones look like
• 3:58
  a deer in a headlight since he's been with the Indianapolis
• 4:00
  Colts. So that was very impressive.
• 4:03
  The way Tomlin, you know, structured his defense against
• 4:07
  one of the best offenses in the NFL.
• 4:09
  There's no argument to that. But I.
• 4:11
  Think, I think it's I think it's really hard to win.
• 4:15
  I don't know if people understand how hard it is to
• 4:17
  win, let alone win consistently. One of the reasons why I like
• 4:20
  Tomlin, he does win consistently, but you got to win
• 4:23
  big. But he is like one of the
• 4:25
  longest tenure coaches. But I I just think in Major
• 4:28
  League sports it's really hard to win.
• 4:31
  And you don't really, unless you're on the inside and realize
• 4:34
  what the players have to go through, the movement of players
• 4:38
  between free agency contracts, it's just really hard to figure
• 4:43
  out how to get a bunch of guys together, keeping together, and
• 4:46
  then hopefully have the winning formula as more and more in this
• 4:50
  business. It's just, it just seemed to be
• 4:53
  getting more and more incredibly hard to win.
• 4:56
  And you see only a select group of teams win and there's a
• 5:00
  larger group of teams that don't win consistently.
• 5:04
  And to me, I just blame it on coaching and ownership.
• 5:07
  Brandon, I live in New York, OK? You do.
• 5:10
  I ruined. What a surprise.
• 5:12
  I live in New York and I have to deal with just terrible sports
• 5:17
  teams year in, a year out. I mean Knick fans.
• 5:19
  Want to drop a ball? Yeah, the Knick fans.
• 5:22
  Are you listening to the Knick fans right now on social media?
• 5:24
  They want to jump off a bridge because they haven't started off
• 5:27
  strong. And I said you got a new coach.
• 5:30
  It takes 25 games to figure out the rotation.
• 5:33
  It doesn't happen overnight. Nick do.
• 5:35
  You think they should have switched coaches?
• 5:37
  100 percent, 100%. I think Tom Thibodeau.
• 5:40
  I think Tom Thibodeau should have been gone two years ago.
• 5:43
  That's my honest opinion. I don't think he worked over
• 5:46
  there. He couldn't get this team over
• 5:47
  the hump. This team was so talented last
• 5:49
  year. They beat the Boston Celtics and
• 5:52
  I want to hear that Tatum went down in the final game.
• 5:54
  They were going to win that game no matter what.
• 5:57
  This Nick team was better than the Celtics and had more depth.
• 6:01
  The reason why they lost against Halliburton and the Indianapolis
• 6:04
  Pacers, there's only one reason why they don't play perimeter
• 6:09
  defense. And if you don't play perimeter
• 6:11
  defense against good guard play, you're not winning.
• 6:15
  And that's why the Knicks didn't win that series and they have a
• 6:18
  guy like Karl Anthony Towns shooting up 90 foot jumpers at 3
• 6:22
  pointer, shooting 3 pointers. Of the court, but that's his
• 6:25
  game. But Jalen Brunson got exposed on
• 6:28
  the defense. Yes, he did.
• 6:29
  I wonder what's going to happen if he can actually pick up the
• 6:32
  pace on the defense and also not have to have the ball in his
• 6:35
  hand all the time. But he lives one block from me.
• 6:38
  You know a lot of the Knicks, I have a indoor full court
• 6:40
  basketball court in my house and a lot of the Knicks work out
• 6:43
  here. So I get all all the skinny.
• 6:45
  I let him use the court. But then I got to ask questions.
• 6:48
  But Jalen hasn't come over here yet.
• 6:50
  He only moved. Here, Brandon, you're still in
• 6:52
  the same house. Yeah.
• 6:54
  Oh yeah, I thought you were moving.
• 6:56
  Right. Now where am I going?
• 6:59
  I mean, I've known you a long time.
• 7:01
  You've been in that house for a while.
• 7:03
  I've been in the house for 22 years, 20,000 square feet, just
• 7:06
  me and my wife. My wife doesn't want to move.
• 7:09
  I have no choice. I don't get any speaking lines.
• 7:12
  You know, I'm like, I'm no different than everybody else
• 7:14
  listening. You know I'm not.
• 7:15
  You think I'm calling the final shots here?
• 7:18
  Well, I knew. I know that.
• 7:20
  There's no way, somebody asked him.
• 7:22
  I'm not complaining, I'm explaining, but it's not right
• 7:25
  now there. There's no move happening
• 7:27
  anytime soon. But you know, I love it.
• 7:29
  It's it's I'm great grateful to have had the career and some of
• 7:33
  the things I've been able to do. I'm just shocked that the new
• 7:36
  company is even working. I'm just, it's just amazed that,
• 7:41
  you know, you don't really know. You can have a bad day, which I
• 7:44
  had a bad day when I got moved out of Stein or was not a happy
• 7:47
  day. But you know, I didn't have a
• 7:49
  bad past and, you know, the customers followed me.
• 7:54
  I tell people of them, you can have a bad day, you can have a
• 7:56
  bad past. And I think it's just important,
• 7:58
  you know, especially in the collectible business and with
• 8:01
  athletes, you know, you don't get it, You don't get a second
• 8:03
  chance with a lot of athletes. And you got to make sure that,
• 8:06
  you know, with collectibles, there's only one way to go and
• 8:08
  that's making sure this stuff is real, it's authentic and you're
• 8:11
  doing the right thing for people.
• 8:13
  So I've been very lucky. What's crazy is how much stuff
• 8:17
  people have. I, I just can't believe how much
• 8:19
  stuff. I mean, I put out about 40
• 8:21
  million autographs. I figure maybe a little more,
• 8:24
  but I can't believe the collections that are becoming to
• 8:27
  me now. They're huge.
• 8:29
  I mean, just thousands of pieces.
• 8:30
  I'm like. Brandon.
• 8:32
  Brandon. Brandon.
• 8:33
  Brandon. You.
• 8:35
  You. You're talking about 40 million
• 8:36
  autographs. I mean, who's better than you?
• 8:39
  How do you have a bad day? What is a bad day for Brandon
• 8:43
  Steiner? Please tell me.
• 8:45
  Oh, my wife didn't make me breakfast.
• 8:47
  Please tell me what? Was a peasant cook for me in in
• 8:50
  the 38 years were married. That was part of the deal, but
• 8:53
  there's little complaints there. You know, probably a bad day is,
• 8:56
  you know, negotiating with Ewing, his new contract and and
• 9:00
  you know, the direct, you know, the athletes now I'm very
• 9:04
  grateful. I've I've I've had mostly really
• 9:07
  good experience with most players.
• 9:09
  But you know, listen, the athletes have gotten big, the
• 9:11
  contracts have gotten big, and then my category has gotten
• 9:14
  smaller, even though the category has gotten bigger.
• 9:17
  And you know, listen, it's tough to go to a guy with a few 100
• 9:20
  grand when they're making $20 million a year.
• 9:23
  So that part has been difficult. And let listen, you know, I'm
• 9:26
  competing, you know, you want to win and winning is, you know,
• 9:29
  getting these fans and getting my customers, you know what they
• 9:33
  want, getting them opportunities to meet the fans and the meet
• 9:37
  the players. And you know, that's that's
• 9:39
  that's the whole gig. It's like, you know, when Java
• 9:42
  was on the Yankees, like people meeting Java was a huge deal.
• 9:46
  And he was extremely gracious and great about it.
• 9:48
  Like, and he had hair stuff accessible and he had hair.
• 9:51
  He's amazing. Yeah, he had hair and believe
• 9:54
  me, he had balls too, man. There's no question.
• 9:56
  There's no doubt. I mean, there is a personality
• 9:58
  and and you know, you don't get a lot of job as they come
• 10:01
  through. You know, you don't get that
• 10:02
  kind of energy, enthusiasm and enjoyment of the whole situation
• 10:07
  like Jabba. But when you do, it's, you know,
• 10:10
  now I haven't done this that long.
• 10:11
  I I have to take advantage of it because it doesn't always happen
• 10:15
  that way. And it's it's hard to be a New
• 10:17
  York Yankee, by the way. So I don't have that many bad
• 10:20
  days. You're right.
• 10:21
  You, you called me on that and that's true.
• 10:23
  But I think that to me, how great, I mean, what a great time
• 10:28
  of year. I mean, you're talking about
• 10:29
  every sports going on. I don't even have to talk to my
• 10:32
  wife. I've got college basketball.
• 10:34
  I got NFL football, Monday Night Football tonight.
• 10:36
  I love your show. I love these.
• 10:39
  I think this is the future live streaming where people can
• 10:42
  interact. They can kind of chime in.
• 10:45
  I do a show now on Whatnot, which I can't believe like
• 10:47
  tomorrow night I'll be on Whatnot with Joe Hollywood.
• 10:50
  We do this show from 8:00 at night to 6:00 in the morning.
• 10:54
  We sell thousands and thousands of things.
• 10:57
  I never thought I'd be doing it, but what I love about the live
• 11:00
  stream is that you're on like a platform like we're on now,
• 11:04
  except people buying stuff left and right and, and you can
• 11:07
  communicate with the people that are buying all night and you
• 11:11
  find out what you what you they like, what they don't like
• 11:14
  talking sports. It's it's amazing.
• 11:16
  It's amazing how much, how much now you can be in touch with
• 11:19
  your customer if you want to and I'm enjoying that part of the
• 11:23
  business a lot. We are talking to the founder
• 11:26
  and former CEO of Steiner Sports, Brandon Steiner.
• 11:28
  He also right now runs, he's the CEO of Collectible Exchange and
• 11:33
  the Steiner Agency. I wonder what the Steiner Agency
• 11:36
  will have to know. You'll probably have to explain
• 11:39
  that to us. I want to get into the
• 11:41
  background of New York sports right now.
• 11:45
  And we were just making fun of it because let's be honest, the
• 11:49
  Giants stink, The Jets, the Islanders are young team.
• 11:52
  The Rangers look like they're you know, but they look like
• 11:55
  they're a deer in the headlights.
• 11:57
  You have the Knicks. They're going to be good.
• 11:59
  I believe they'll be good in the the Brooklyn Nets well enough.
• 12:03
  Terrible. And you look at New York sports
• 12:05
  and you wonder, you know, Brandon, you, you, you look at
• 12:09
  it and you understand what it is and what it's all about.
• 12:12
  And New York Knick basketball, they haven't won a championship
• 12:15
  since the 70s. New York Jet football, they
• 12:18
  haven't won since 69. New York Giant football, they
• 12:21
  haven't won since 2011. I could go on and on and on.
• 12:24
  How about the Mets 1986? Why is it that New York sports
• 12:30
  hasn't been as dominant as maybe Boston or.
• 12:34
  Stanley Why? By the way, you didn't mention
• 12:36
  the Rangers. They suck too.
• 12:37
  But. I did, I did.
• 12:38
  I said the deer in the hell. Here's the thing, I think.
• 12:41
  The Guardian, by the way, the tickets are incredibly high at
• 12:44
  the Garden. I don't know why, And incredibly
• 12:47
  expensive. I mean, a regular everyday
• 12:49
  ticket is like playoff ticket money.
• 12:52
  But I think the Garden, I think a lot of players, when it comes
• 12:55
  down to it, it's not a big deal to come to New York anymore.
• 12:58
  You're not doing it for Madison Ave.
• 13:00
  You're not doing it for the extra money.
• 13:01
  You're not doing it for the extra hype.
• 13:03
  You get just as much hype as any market as you do in New York.
• 13:06
  So there's no more of an edge. You play at the Garden, right?
• 13:10
  You're practicing up in Westchester.
• 13:12
  So one way or the other, you're you're a big guy or you're, you
• 13:16
  know, you know, between practice workouts, the practice facility
• 13:21
  is an hour and a half away from where you play the games.
• 13:25
  So already that's no good. That's a waste.
• 13:27
  And that's a big mistake on the Gardens part.
• 13:30
  I think The Jets have a practice facility like an hour away from
• 13:33
  the Meadowlands. That's a mistake.
• 13:35
  That's a problem. I think playing on the Yankees,
• 13:38
  it's not the same as it used to be.
• 13:41
  It's a big deal to play in the Yankee Stadium, but not as big a
• 13:43
  deal and the pressures that come with it.
• 13:46
  And that's, listen, I love Derek Jeter probably is responsible
• 13:50
  for a big part of my career, but the one thing him and I never
• 13:52
  saw, I, I with said, if you don't win a championship, the
• 13:55
  season's a bust and it puts just enormous pressure.
• 13:59
  I mean, we went to the World Series last year, people acted
• 14:01
  like we were a complete disaster.
• 14:04
  And this year, believe it or not, we we made a couple
• 14:07
  mistakes in August that really came back to haunt us.
• 14:10
  But that team was as good as Toronto, right right along with
• 14:14
  them at the same record. And believe it or not, if they
• 14:17
  would have won the division, they may even had a chance to
• 14:19
  maybe go to World Series. That's how good the team was.
• 14:21
  This is the first time when I was at Aaron Booth's house the
• 14:24
  other day, he was still really disappointed because he felt
• 14:28
  like he had a team that was hot at the right time.
• 14:30
  They definitely had the talent and they had a good chance to go
• 14:33
  to the World Series. I just think, you know, when I
• 14:36
  look at, when I look at New York sports, the amount of media, the
• 14:41
  it's not the safest place these days.
• 14:43
  You know, do you want to bring your family here?
• 14:46
  There's not enough an advantage. You don't have the tax advantage
• 14:49
  and go on and on. We we need to start thinking
• 14:52
  about how we start treating our athletes.
• 14:54
  I mean, there's a lot of pressure, you know, where we
• 14:56
  should just be, you know, calming down.
• 14:58
  Otherwise, we're just not going to produce winners.
• 15:00
  So you don't want to be like Phil Jackson.
• 15:02
  You don't want to be like Phil writing a book and talking about
• 15:05
  Carmelo Anthony. And you don't want to do that.
• 15:08
  Is that is that what you're trying to say?
• 15:10
  I don't want to do that. I'm I'm happy with what I'm
• 15:12
  doing. I wish the teams here were
• 15:14
  winning a little bit more, but I've taken advantage of what's
• 15:16
  going on around the country. And plus you have a whole bunch
• 15:19
  of new sports leagues. To me, college is, is pro.
• 15:22
  So I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, I do Michigan collectibles, St.
• 15:25
  John's collectibles, Syracuse collectibles.
• 15:29
  I'm, I'm happy now taking advantage of the college, you
• 15:32
  know, the college kids. That's like pro.
• 15:34
  That's the whole thing in itself.
• 15:35
  I mean, I think St. John's going to be going to a
• 15:37
  final four. I'd love to see the Big East
• 15:40
  tournament with Saint John's AU Conn in the finals.
• 15:42
  It's going to be a really big deal this year.
• 15:45
  That may be a little bit of a boost to New York sports.
• 15:48
  I think the Mets are going to finally figure it out.
• 15:50
  I think Steve Cohen's got the money and he's a figure it out
• 15:53
  guy. But you're right, it's been
• 15:55
  disappointing so far. And a lot of it is he doesn't
• 15:58
  have the right management. You know, people don't realize
• 16:01
  how important ownership and management is.
• 16:04
  And the Yankees, love them or hate them, they have really good
• 16:07
  management. They always figure out at least
• 16:09
  get to the playoffs. And I think there's something to
• 16:12
  be said about that. You can kill Tomlin about not
• 16:14
  getting over the hump, but there's something to be said
• 16:17
  about least, least making a playoff year and you're out and
• 16:19
  knowing your team has a chance. It's disappointing, but it's
• 16:22
  even more disappointing not never make the playoffs.
• 16:24
  And I can tell you a ton of teams that never make the
• 16:27
  playoffs ever. And then for me, it's in my
• 16:30
  business at Collectible Exchange.
• 16:32
  Nobody wants to buy those teams that are constantly losing and
• 16:35
  just shorts the market. I want everybody to win.
• 16:38
  It's a big help to me. Yeah, I want to ask you.
• 16:40
  Speaking, Speaking of the Big East tournament, though,
• 16:42
  Brandon, one of my restaurant sponsors, we're one of the main
• 16:45
  sponsors for the Big East tournament, so.
• 16:47
  It's going to be huge. The big.
• 16:49
  The Big East is the best league. I don't care.
• 16:52
  I think it's the best league. I miss the old Big East.
• 16:56
  I'm an old school guy at the old Villanova, Syracuse, Georgetown,
• 17:00
  Syracuse, John Thompson. I mean, but the biggies now is
• 17:05
  probably the best conference and focus on basketball with a lot
• 17:08
  of those teams, which I love. They're not football schools
• 17:12
  that do basketball. And all those schools are ponied
• 17:15
  up money. All of them will put money in.
• 17:18
  UCONN's got a lot of money. Saint John's got a lot of money.
• 17:21
  Villanova put some extra money in their hat that they should be
• 17:23
  better. It's going to be really fun.
• 17:26
  College basketball would be fun. It's it's, it's another level of
• 17:29
  probe. It's another pro league where
• 17:32
  you know they have to play a little bit defensive.
• 17:33
  That's the problem. That's Brandon.
• 17:35
  That's the problem. Because everybody talks about,
• 17:38
  you know, college sports and how great it is.
• 17:40
  And I, I admit the tournament is the best time of year.
• 17:43
  I mean, who doesn't have their eyes locked in?
• 17:46
  But here's the problem, the analysts are horrible.
• 17:49
  The the broadcasting, the way they're bringing in it, bringing
• 17:52
  it to the forefront. I don't think it's it's
• 17:54
  beneficial for the sport to grow the way some of these
• 17:57
  organizations like Fox and ESPN, the way they're bringing it to
• 18:02
  and not valuing it and putting the best talent up there for
• 18:06
  them to promote their product to be one of the biggest products
• 18:09
  in the world. They have a little ways to go.
• 18:11
  They're going to get there. By the way, just my little bitch
• 18:13
  of the night. I can't even get ESPN.
• 18:17
  I just told my wife it's like where's ESPNI have YouTube TV,
• 18:22
  they whacked ESPN and ABCI can't even watch Monday night.
• 18:25
  They need to, that's the Brandon.
• 18:27
  They need to hire us because we're the best.
• 18:29
  I mean, we are the best. I mean, job are you, are we, are
• 18:32
  we wrong here? I think you're going to see a
• 18:34
  lot more of these channels hiring guys like you, like this
• 18:37
  show even. Yes, I hired John Boys and those
• 18:41
  guys like I think people want more real stuff like this.
• 18:46
  I think we've already seen the canned play by play com it's
• 18:51
  boring. I think you know, even the S
• 18:54
  network, they just made some changes with their broadcasters
• 18:56
  like it was just boring. It was bad and and people want
• 19:00
  more. They want more fun, they want
• 19:02
  more excitement. If I'm going to sit there and
• 19:03
  listen for two or three hours, I want more interaction.
• 19:07
  I want to be more fun, I want to be more insightful.
• 19:10
  I think that's. That's why they've done a lot of
• 19:12
  the stuff of like during the game as far as like interviews
• 19:15
  with the manager and, and even the players too.
• 19:17
  So I think you're right. It's it's kind of gotten boring.
• 19:21
  And I think more if you're trying to draw to a bigger crowd
• 19:24
  in a bigger market, especially, you know, the younger ones, they
• 19:27
  this is what they do. They're interactive.
• 19:30
  They want to see it as, you know, as it's going on with you
• 19:33
  and like, be a fan as much as they are getting information
• 19:37
  about. Why do you think the Manning
• 19:38
  cast has been so great? Because it's two brothers
• 19:40
  sitting there, you know, shooting the shit, just
• 19:42
  basically telling you about the game and, and you feel like
• 19:45
  you're a part like in their garage with them watching the
• 19:47
  game. And for me, that's more
• 19:49
  enjoyable. I mean, I'm, I'm a fan of the
• 19:51
  game longer than I was able to play it.
• 19:53
  So, you know, when they do those, you know, in the
• 19:55
  clubhouses where they're sitting there on MLB Network and stuff
• 19:58
  like that. Like I enjoy that because I like
• 20:00
  the interactive back and forth sometimes as the the manager
• 20:04
  interviews during the game when it's like in the 6th or 7th
• 20:07
  inning, I'm like, yeah, I kind of scratch my head every once in
• 20:09
  a while, but. I I like some of the things
• 20:12
  they've done. You sure it's your head?
• 20:13
  It's not your ass. For.
• 20:18
  That. I would love to, you know, to
• 20:22
  me, when you watch a game with a person who's played the game on
• 20:26
  a professional level, it's another common, I mean, I I've,
• 20:31
  I've gone to games at courtside and gone home with a player that
• 20:34
  was in the game and I have no idea what I was watching.
• 20:37
  Like, I just wish they would have more commentary for more
• 20:41
  players that were in the game and not to mention the game
• 20:44
  recently. I'm disappointed in Tom Brady.
• 20:46
  I thought he was going to be better.
• 20:48
  You know, Tony Romo was really good the first few years and I
• 20:52
  guess he just gave up on or maybe they told.
• 20:54
  Him he was. Like calling every freaking
• 20:56
  play, it was unbelievable. That's what it is.
• 21:02
  Money makes the world go right. And just what it is with Tony
• 21:05
  Romo's You just can't give him the Chiefs Bills game because
• 21:07
  he'll just gust over both quarterbacks like a teenage
• 21:10
  girl. And now he owns.
• 21:11
  And now he owns a. Poll terrible yesterday he
• 21:13
  fucked up the game. Now, yeah, it's terrible.
• 21:16
  And and why does the NFL make rules that work for him?
• 21:19
  I mean, he owns a piece of Las Vegas and now he can actually be
• 21:23
  an analyst at a Vegas Raider game.
• 21:26
  How does that make any sense? It's been in the rule book
• 21:28
  forever, but it's Tom Brady's. So you know what?
• 21:31
  Let's break the rule. Who cares what the NFL?
• 21:34
  Have you mind if he was good? He's not any good.
• 21:37
  He's not Just like when I look look at Fox and I look at the
• 21:41
  post game, if I can even understand what David Ortiz is
• 21:43
  saying. A Rod's never going to say
• 21:46
  anything. Controversy.
• 21:47
  He's trying to make everybody happy, guys, You know, you know,
• 21:50
  you know his ringtone is Ding a Wing A wing.
• 21:52
  You know what that is? That's the Mr. Softly truck
• 21:54
  coming down the street. Oh, please.
• 21:56
  I mean come on, man, say something that's controversial
• 21:59
  and those guys know better. That's what pisses me off.
• 22:01
  They know a lot more than we so, but they don't say it, Brandon.
• 22:05
  So jeter's never going to be controversy.
• 22:07
  He's never going to say something that's going to be Oh
• 22:10
  my God, that's that was this bullshit what they did?
• 22:13
  I mean, how do they not even talk about and I like I will
• 22:17
  kind of fluff. I was a good Yankee, but how are
• 22:21
  you not talking about the fact he didn't take the the
• 22:23
  appropriate lead on third base? The reason why I didn't take the
• 22:26
  appropriate lead at third base was the guy got picked off the
• 22:29
  night before at 2nd and he didn't want to have it happen to
• 22:31
  him and it cost him the game. I mean, there's so many little
• 22:34
  things that happened. It's almost like watching
• 22:37
  Rebecca Lobo doing the WNBA games because she's freaking
• 22:40
  horrible. She's the worst.
• 22:42
  I don't even know what she's. I mean, she played and she
• 22:45
  doesn't want to say anything gothic.
• 22:47
  She says something critical. I mean, really bad stuff is
• 22:50
  happening. She has a brilliant.
• 22:51
  Brandon, if you actually, if you listen to this show, you know,
• 22:54
  we, we don't hide behind our voices.
• 22:56
  We, we, we explain and, and what we feel is what you get.
• 23:01
  And it doesn't really matter what anybody thinks on this
• 23:03
  show. But you said it, you said it
• 23:04
  best kind of falafel because that's all he was.
• 23:07
  He was a dead falafel at third base.
• 23:09
  And as far as as far as I'm concerned, when I.
• 23:13
  Should have had a bigger lead. Yeah, he should have.
• 23:15
  Well, come on. Brandon.
• 23:17
  The funny part is Arrow would still rather have him on the
• 23:19
  team than Jazz Chisholm. You're damn right.
• 23:21
  And I don't call him Jazz Chisholm.
• 23:22
  You know what I call him? Anybody that listens to the show
• 23:25
  knows what I call him. Jabba doesn't want me to.
• 23:27
  Call him. I want to hear it.
• 23:28
  I don't know. What do you call?
• 23:29
  Him. I call him Jazz Jism.
• 23:36
  Java looks at me and he's. He's been, he's been waiting to
• 23:39
  say that. I got it.
• 23:42
  I got a jersey made and it's coming in the mail.
• 23:45
  When I get it, I'm going to wear it with pride.
• 23:48
  I also named Travis Hunter, gave him a nickname.
• 23:51
  I was at the Heisman. So Brandon.
• 23:53
  And by the way, we are speaking to the former founder and CEO of
• 23:59
  Steiner Sports, Brandon Steiner, who also owns a collectible
• 24:01
  exchange and the Steiner Agency. If you don't know who he is,
• 24:05
  well, then shame on you. I was at the Heisman Trophy
• 24:10
  dinner, OK, And Travis Hunter was there and everybody was like
• 24:14
  flocking to him. And I wasn't.
• 24:16
  I was interested in Gabriel and Ward and and Ashton Genti.
• 24:20
  I was into those guys. I was not into Travis Hunter
• 24:23
  because I couldn't. I just didn't like his
• 24:26
  personality. So.
• 24:27
  So we're standing up there and they're taking pictures with the
• 24:29
  trophy and you see Ashton Genti talking to him and Ward's right
• 24:34
  on the other side of them. So they're talking and they're
• 24:37
  talking about. So I mentioned award to you.
• 24:40
  You mentioned the Giants that if the Giants pick you, you know,
• 24:43
  it would be great to go and play for the New York Giants.
• 24:46
  I said, what about The Jets and Travis?
• 24:48
  Travis open his big fat mouth and he says nobody wants to play
• 24:52
  with The Jets. They're a bunch of losers.
• 24:54
  And I turned around. I said, well, you're right,
• 24:56
  because we're not going to draft you because we got a better a
• 24:58
  better player than you'll ever be in Sauz Garner.
• 25:01
  And I walked away and every single writer looked at me and
• 25:05
  their mouth dropped. And then this writer Scooby
• 25:08
  speed. We've had him on the show.
• 25:10
  He he sat there. He said, I can't believe you
• 25:13
  just said that to the the the future or the next Heisman
• 25:17
  Trophy. When I said anybody that votes
• 25:20
  him in is an idiot. So and and and I said that he's
• 25:23
  going to fail seven years in the NFL and he is he's going to
• 25:26
  fail. And I gave him the nickname the
• 25:28
  Gremlin. He looks like the Gremlin.
• 25:30
  So I've got a jersey made #12 the Gremlin put on the back of
• 25:36
  it. And when?
• 25:37
  Now, are you a red zone guy on Sunday?
• 25:39
  I mean, is that you just you got to watch it all or do you have a
• 25:41
  favorite? So so I am AI am a Jets fan, but
• 25:45
  I'm also an Eagles fan. I grew up a Donovan McNabb fan,
• 25:48
  so I know that possible. I know here we go here we go
• 25:53
  here we go. So here's how it was possible.
• 25:55
  I grew up, I'm going to tell you.
• 25:58
  So I followed Donovan when he was in high school and when he
• 26:01
  went to Syracuse. I, I just fell in love with his
• 26:04
  game. So I knew wherever he was going
• 26:06
  to go because I knew he was going to be a top three, top
• 26:08
  four pick. Wherever he was going to go, I
• 26:10
  was going to root for that team, no matter if I was a Jet fan or
• 26:12
  not. He went to the Eagles and
• 26:15
  everybody was like, how could you root for the Eagles?
• 26:17
  But and then everybody thought it was the green and white.
• 26:20
  I was like, it has nothing to do with the green and white.
• 26:23
  As a matter of fact, I hate the color green.
• 26:25
  So. So Donovan is, I've met him a
• 26:29
  couple of times and Donovan was such a straightforward.
• 26:32
  He went to Syracuse. Yeah, he went to Syracuse.
• 26:36
  I know, I know. I went to Syracuse.
• 26:37
  No, no, no, no, I no, I didn't go to Syracuse.
• 26:39
  Come on. And I.
• 26:40
  He didn't. He didn't go to school, Brandon.
• 26:42
  No, that's I did go to school. What are you talking about?
• 26:45
  It's such a let's see what it is.
• 26:47
  OK, Brandon, that now job is now he's now he's reaching here.
• 26:50
  I did go to school. I do have a degree, but I hurt
• 26:55
  my knee. I was a hockey player and I had
• 26:58
  an opportunity to play Division One hockey and and the story
• 27:01
  goes I was a really good hockey player.
• 27:04
  But it it didn't come to fruition as Jabba would put it
• 27:07
  in his own little strategic way with his nice little beady
• 27:11
  glasses and his bald little head.
• 27:13
  But I honestly would tell you that competition in professional
• 27:18
  sports I don't know anything about because I never played
• 27:21
  professional sports, but I played against top and athletes.
• 27:25
  I played against Sidney Crosby, I played against some of the
• 27:29
  Rangers when I was skating with them when I was a kid.
• 27:31
  Mark Messy, Adam Gray's, Brian Leach, Vladimir Molikoff, Darius
• 27:34
  Kasparitis. I skated with those guys and I
• 27:37
  can compete with them. So to sit here, Mr. Chamberlain,
• 27:42
  I would tell. You Is there video evidence of
• 27:45
  this? Because I'd like to see.
• 27:45
  It I'll tell you what I'll tell you.
• 27:47
  What I'm asking Messi, I'm calling Messi.
• 27:50
  Go call him. Go call him, tell him, tell him.
• 27:53
  The old little skinny scrawny arrow marks can tell you to, you
• 27:58
  know, keep winning. I.
• 27:59
  Mean, I got to change the subject for one minute here.
• 28:01
  I got to ask Java a question. Go ahead, hit it.
• 28:04
  It's been driving me crazy but I was like I'm going to ask him
• 28:06
  when I see him. I don't know where this is going
• 28:09
  by the way. I'm changing direction
• 28:11
  completely. I mean, I'm assuming that
• 28:13
  everything he said about his hockey crew is true.
• 28:15
  And I'm going to buy him. I'm going to give him.
• 28:17
  I'm going to give it to him because there's not a lot of New
• 28:20
  Yorkers that, you know, could talk about becoming a really
• 28:22
  great hockey player at all because there's no rinks.
• 28:25
  But Jabba, you're on the mound in Cleveland.
• 28:28
  The bugs are all over you, right?
• 28:31
  When you look back on it now that's I don't know how many
• 28:33
  years ago. So they've stopped the game.
• 28:35
  When you look back on that, should have stopped the game.
• 28:39
  I mean, I was so young, I had like, looking back now, if it
• 28:43
  if, if it happened now, yeah, probably.
• 28:46
  But I mean, I didn't I didn't do my job at the end of the day.
• 28:49
  So it was really my fault. I didn't I didn't say anything.
• 28:52
  Obviously Joe Joe was like, that's his only regret, which it
• 28:56
  in turn, it really wasn't his his fault.
• 28:59
  No, there it is. The bugs got me.
• 29:02
  I gotta say, Job, you were unstoppable, man.
• 29:04
  You were forced to be that dealt with.
• 29:06
  It was unbelievable. It was a.
• 29:07
  It was fun. And you kept me busy too.
• 29:09
  My hand would cramp up during sessions with you though.
• 29:12
  And. Because you signed your whole
• 29:14
  freaking name. I have a lot of respect.
• 29:15
  Nobody. Nobody.
• 29:16
  I didn't expect to come into this.
• 29:18
  Nobody told me what I was supposed to do.
• 29:20
  I love the fact that you signed both names.
• 29:22
  You could read it. I think that was cool.
• 29:25
  People another show job. I do.
• 29:28
  I mean, I, I practiced a lot in school, so I had a lot of
• 29:30
  practices. I had no.
• 29:32
  Not my choice. Yeah, I know, right?
• 29:34
  That went over like a fart in church.
• 29:38
  Now could you could if you come back to old Timers day, could
• 29:41
  you still throw some strikes? Yeah, I played well, Carter's,
• 29:45
  Carter's now a sophomore in college, so I played long toss
• 29:47
  with Carter all the time. Wow, I just remember it was like
• 29:50
  yesterday he was having a catch on the field with him.
• 29:52
  Yeah, I know. You're telling me?
• 29:53
  Oh my God, now he's. Taller than me.
• 29:55
  He's literally 65 now. Where is he going to school?
• 29:59
  He's at a junior College in Kansas.
• 30:01
  Wow, he's probably got. He may have the stuff you got.
• 30:04
  You were a late bloomer from not speaking.
• 30:07
  Yeah, he's grown late too, so. Brandon, in many different ways,
• 30:11
  late blooming, in many different ways, I'm talking about my son,
• 30:15
  talking about you. Oh, me.
• 30:18
  Oh, I thought you're talking about my son I was about to have
• 30:20
  to slap. You.
• 30:21
  I'm talking about you. How are you going to slap me
• 30:24
  across the screen, man? What are we?
• 30:25
  We. What are we doing here?
• 30:27
  Do we have, like magical powers? You can work.
• 30:29
  It's coming soon. I was just going to say there'll
• 30:32
  be a button that comes out of like our computer.
• 30:34
  Java's going to. Java's going to have invent some
• 30:36
  dude wipes with instant teleportation to get over here
• 30:38
  and it's a slap. As long as she's using dude
• 30:41
  wipes and taking care of my 2 hole I'm good.
• 30:42
  I just got to give him the dude wipes today.
• 30:48
  Pulled it out of my ass. By the way, I have one more
• 30:52
  observation on the football thing.
• 30:54
  I don't know about you, I just thought Kansas City just doesn't
• 30:57
  look that good. They're not they're not good.
• 30:59
  They're. Just not.
• 31:00
  They could say, could build it up all they wanted and they were
• 31:03
  definitely trying, but they're just not that good.
• 31:06
  They're old. And, and you can see it, Jones
• 31:08
  is not the same player as he was.
• 31:10
  And, and I think obviously the team is is getting up there in
• 31:15
  agents. Bagnola is getting up there in
• 31:16
  ages as a defensive coordinator. He was offered or he was looking
• 31:20
  at, you know, opportunities in the offseason.
• 31:23
  He was interviewing, interviewing for jobs.
• 31:25
  He didn't get one of those jobs. And now you're starting to sit
• 31:28
  there and and believe that he's probably never going to get
• 31:31
  another coaching job. He failed over there with the
• 31:34
  Saint Louis Rams and, and the Giants.
• 31:38
  Well, he didn't fail. He won.
• 31:39
  He was a defensive coordinator when they won a Super Bowl.
• 31:42
  So, so it's not like he failed. I and he comes from that patent,
• 31:47
  that Eagles style of defence. So if you, if you're an Eagles
• 31:51
  fan over, you know, in the 80s and the 90s.
• 31:54
  So I, I just think that obviously when when you look at
• 31:58
  the, the particulars of new and I going back to New York sports
• 32:01
  and what really bothers me about New York sports is it does how
• 32:04
  many coaches, how many coaches does The Jets need to bring in
• 32:08
  to get it right? How many coaches did the Giants
• 32:10
  and the Knicks had like the? Ownership, ownership.
• 32:14
  The Jets, they should sell that. I think Dolan should sell the
• 32:18
  Rangers and only own one of the teams.
• 32:20
  Too much that the Globe, it's ownership.
• 32:24
  And I'm I'm not a Dolanator. I like Dolan.
• 32:27
  He turned a billion into 12. I mean, he's a winner to me, but
• 32:31
  it's so much to manage and you need hands on, really smart,
• 32:36
  supportive ownership. Don't don't forget the biggest
• 32:39
  thing he's a he likes to own, and that's his his band of his
• 32:42
  horrible singing voice. But it's still, I mean, that's a
• 32:46
  product. But when you look at his assets,
• 32:48
  if you're in business to make money, he's done well.
• 32:51
  Yeah. And the garden is a great place
• 32:53
  to watch a game. It's still a lot of money, but I
• 32:56
  don't. I just think it's too much.
• 32:58
  It's too much between everything going on, the Garden, the Globe,
• 33:02
  Radio City Beacon, I mean, it's just too much.
• 33:05
  And I think it's tough, tough when you don't have the
• 33:08
  ownership having his hand in things a little.
• 33:10
  Bit you know what I'm going to do?
• 33:11
  I'm going to reach out to James Dolan and I'm going to see if me
• 33:14
  and Jabba could be his backup singers.
• 33:16
  What do you think, Jabba? You think you could give me an
• 33:18
  A? Give me an.
• 33:20
  AI was on Broadway twice. Where were you, this scarecrow?
• 33:29
  No, I was with the rocket agent. I'm just messing with you.
• 33:31
  I'm messing with you bad. Do you save any of your game you
• 33:36
  stuff? Do you save any of it?
• 33:38
  Yeah, I got, I got a lot of it actually.
• 33:40
  Actually that this one right here is one of the ones you sent
• 33:42
  me. That's from, I think that was my
• 33:45
  sign from the last or the first think first homestand of the new
• 33:50
  stadium. I could take it off the wall.
• 33:52
  It has your handwriting on the back.
• 33:55
  That's cool. Yeah, I got all this.
• 33:57
  I'd still. And I have the seats you sent me
• 33:59
  from the old stadium too. Nice.
• 34:01
  Well, Brandon, I we've got news for you.
• 34:03
  November 17th, Jabba in the mouth is going to be where boys?

  By the way, anybody listening, if they want to copy my book,
• 34:54
  you know I told you 4 books. Happy to send you a free copy.
• 34:58
  Just absolutely you message me. Yeah, absolutely.
• 35:01
  Send it. You know, listen, Jabba won't
• 35:03
  read it. I love books.
• 35:04
  There's a lot of pictures in there, though, Jabba I, I, you
• 35:07
  know, I, I, there's a lot of people who care.
• 35:09
  I I have trouble reading myself, but I put a lot of fictions in
• 35:12
  there. Brandon, who was I've I've I was
• 35:15
  thinking about this the other day.
• 35:17
  Somebody sent me something. Who was that idiot you bought my
• 35:20
  contract from when I was in AA? There's a guy that go.
• 35:23
  Suck on a in in. I, I just don't know.
• 35:26
  There was a guy that I bought Jeter's.
• 35:29
  I bought Jeter's scouting report and sold that for $350,000 and
• 35:35
  then we bought the replica rights to it.
• 35:37
  So we're just making copies of it and selling it.
• 35:39
  But we had we sold that for 350,000.
• 35:43
  Yeah, I was in. I was in AA and this dude signed
• 35:46
  me early and then once I got to the big leagues, you, but it's I
• 35:49
  think his name, he didn't last very long.
• 35:50
  He was, he was an idiot, but he paid me 100 grand off the bat
• 35:53
  and I was in. Oh, yeah, I was.
• 35:54
  What's his name? The short little guy.
• 35:56
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The short little guy, Mugsy Bo,
• 36:00
  he was like the guy. He was the guy who like
• 36:02
  represented Son of Sam with some crazy shit.
• 36:04
  Yeah, I don't know, but he was like, I was in AA signing like a
• 36:07
  serial killer, signing cards and stuff at a Cracker Barrel.
• 36:11
  And this dude, I was right after the All Star game and then he's
• 36:14
  like he wants to pay you 100 grand in AA.
• 36:16
  And I was making like 315 bucks every two weeks.
• 36:19
  So I was like, sure. Now we removed him out.
• 36:23
  On it. Oh, yeah, yeah, You bought.
• 36:24
  You bought him out quick. And then, yeah.
• 36:27
  I was with you forever. Diarrhea down their leg and like
• 36:34
  a. Story This guy was.
• 36:36
  Well, we have a soundboard, we have a sound.
• 36:38
  His his check. Cleared though, so I was good.
• 36:41
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, I don't know if people
• 36:43
  realize how hard it is till you get to the big leagues playing
• 36:49
  with like the plane, single AA, you're in like a one bedroom
• 36:52
  with four other guys hoping that you're, you know, you're eating
• 36:56
  the food that they serve at the ballpark.
• 36:58
  That's all you could afford. I mean, it's it's it's no joke.
• 37:02
  It's a little better now, but not that much better unless
• 37:04
  you're one of these guys who came out and signed a big
• 37:06
  contract right out of the draft, which is only a few guys here
• 37:09
  and there. The difficulty and then the UPS
• 37:12
  and down. They send you down, they send
• 37:14
  you up. You know you're still paying for
• 37:17
  both places. It's really the only place.
• 37:19
  If they send you up, they only give you one week in a hotel.
• 37:22
  That's it. Then you're on your own where
• 37:23
  you're supposed to get furniture from where you're supposed to
• 37:25
  live. People don't realize how hard it
• 37:28
  is the first few years when you come up.
• 37:30
  Which is why when guys become free agents, they want it.
• 37:34
  They want their money and they deserve it.
• 37:36
  They've earned it. It's back pay.
• 37:39
  Well, am I wrong Jabo? No, no, I mean, even when even
• 37:43
  when you go it's, it's still, it's like, OK, if you're going
• 37:45
  to a new city, it's still like tough like first of all, finding
• 37:49
  a place. OK, who where do, who do I get
• 37:51
  to, you know, find me a place that, you know, OK, I I have to
• 37:55
  have dogs and whatever. It's it's a lot like that people
• 37:58
  don't think about as a whole. And you're still trying to
• 38:01
  compete, keep your job and and move a family and, and all kind
• 38:04
  of yeah, it's you don't really think about it.
• 38:07
  I just, I just built a new house and got moved in and I'd never
• 38:11
  want to do it again. It's.
• 38:12
  Awful. Yeah, it's a lot.
• 38:14
  I'd say I've been enjoying. Now, you know, I've always
• 38:17
  signed the big names and I've had many of them over the years.
• 38:20
  And I've been enjoying working with some of the younger kids.
• 38:24
  They're coming up. They need my help.
• 38:26
  And, you know, making every dollar really means something.
• 38:29
  And it's been much more enjoyable.
• 38:31
  Like with the Jaycee Escarra, Oswaldo Cabrera, I've been
• 38:34
  working with just a bunch of younger guys that just enjoy to
• 38:37
  work with and, you know, guiding them, mentoring them and showing
• 38:40
  where the money is and just gearing the, you know, all the
• 38:43
  different contexts I have. It's just.
• 38:46
  It's also, I think, I think Brandon too, you've done it for
• 38:48
  so long and been with some of the biggest names.
• 38:50
  I think it's such a different energy when you have these
• 38:53
  younger kids that kind of, they were kind of in limbo between
• 38:56
  like whether they came up in college or whatever, didn't get
• 38:59
  the NIL, didn't get all the other stuff.
• 39:01
  And now it's like having these opportunities that I, I never
• 39:04
  knew about, like, you know, getting free vehicles, you know,
• 39:07
  signing events, private or public, they're two different
• 39:10
  anomalies. You don't know all these things
• 39:12
  in the insurance and outs and inscriptions and all the other
• 39:15
  stuff that ways you can make money that you never really
• 39:18
  knew. And now it's like, you know, my
• 39:20
  son's in college and has an opportunity to, to do the same
• 39:22
  thing. And it's like take advantage of
• 39:24
  these things. But what I love about it is
• 39:26
  they're so like, they're so vested in like in the fact they
• 39:30
  want to know like the whole process, not just like, hey,
• 39:33
  where's my check? Like, OK, it's two hours.
• 39:36
  I have this, this and this. It's like, hey, where is this
• 39:38
  going? You know, like, you know, the
• 39:41
  whole process of what it is and like, and continue that
• 39:43
  relationship. So I think the younger energy is
• 39:45
  really, really cool. Amazing.
• 39:48
  It's great. It's great.
• 39:50
  And also the curiosity level. I try to tell the players.
• 39:54
  I know the main focus is stay on the field, get on the field,
• 39:57
  play well. And a lot of agents will tell
• 40:00
  the player that's what you got to worry about.
• 40:02
  But there comes a point in time, if you're not playing, why not
• 40:05
  at least try to get prepared for the inevitable and take
• 40:08
  advantage of the opportunity? And I try to now, you know, I've
• 40:12
  made a lot of money, I've done well.
• 40:13
  So it does to me, it doesn't matter.
• 40:15
  I I I give the guys the combination in the safe.
• 40:18
  I show them everything. I'm completely transparent.
• 40:21
  Yeah, if you ever need a part time guy to help with any of
• 40:23
  this, Brandon, I kind of know my way around these things.
• 40:26
  I do need help man I believe. In this hey, I'll be in New York
• 40:29
  soon. We'll talk business.
• 40:31
  There's a guy, used to be a former.
• 40:32
  He almost made it to the United Shows, the hockey players in New
• 40:35
  York also. I'll introduce you to him.
• 40:37
  Big guy, a lot of potential. I think he I think you have to
• 40:41
  be 511, but I think he's a little short of 511.
• 40:46
  He he uses that half an inch 510 1/2 I think it's.
• 40:49
  Screw you, screw you, Jabba screw.
• 40:53
  Brandon for me in alley oop I had to done.
• 40:54
  Yeah, well, I'm, I'll be alley ooping because I missed a
• 40:58
  businessman. Anyways, Brandon, I, I I want to
• 41:02
  tell you something before I let you go.
• 41:03
  You know, a friend of mine, he's like a father figure to me, Mike
• 41:06
  Catino. So he wanted me to say hello.
• 41:08
  Oh my God, a name from the past. That's the first guy who really
• 41:12
  did a couple feature articles on me when I was.
• 41:14
  Not that I'm anybody now, but I was definitely nobody then.
• 41:17
  And he put me on the cover. First cover.
• 41:19
  Mike Catino, he's on the cover. He wanted to link me up with
• 41:22
  you. So what?
• 41:23
  We'll talk. I love that guy, he's got a
• 41:24
  heart of gold. He does.
• 41:26
  He's a great person. He's a great person.
• 41:28
  Relentless. Yes, he's absolutely relentless.
• 41:31
  Yeah, he almost said alone. Really enjoy this show.
• 41:34
  Love what you guys are doing. The word is out on the street,
• 41:36
  by the way, about your show. So it's a really, you know, not
• 41:40
  easy to promote these these shows, but your name has cracked
• 41:44
  through many times. I've heard it through
• 41:46
  conversations and this and that. So keep up the good work.
• 41:50
  Thank you put in the chat. You know, Adm for me, it's like
• 41:54
  if anybody wants a book that's listening, I'm happy to send you
• 41:57
  gotta have balls. I just did a one year ride along
• 41:59
  with NYPD, spending a year with the NYPD police trying to
• 42:04
  understand what's going on with urban policing.
• 42:05
  And then I've written two other books, just all business books
• 42:08
  other than the police book. So if you're an entrepreneur,
• 42:11
  salesperson you love, you got to have balls or living on purpose.
• 42:14
  Well, Java doesn't have any balls, so maybe he should get
• 42:17
  the book. I get the audio version.
• 42:23
  Thanks for having me though. I appreciate it man, really, and
• 42:27
  hopefully we'll do it again. Come November 17th to Carmines,
• 42:30
  come and hang out with us. All right, I'm going to try to
• 42:32
  make it. It'll be a lot of fun.
• 42:34
  Anyways, Brandon, we really appreciate.
• 42:36
  It keep up the good work. Thank you.
• 42:38
  Good to see you, Brandon. It's been a mile.
• 42:39
  Great to see you guys. Thanks Java.
• 42:41
  Appreciate you. Love you.
• 42:43
  Brandon Steiner, ladies and gentlemen, former CEO of Steiner
• 42:47
  Sports and now he runs Collectible Exchange and the
• 42:51
  Steiner Agency. So look at that Java.
• 42:54
  We're making headway as we. What about Skid Mart?
• 42:58
  Or. I got the bubble guts.
• 43:00
  I definitely got the bubble guts tonight.
• 43:02
  I I want to tell everybody something.
• 43:04
  Like them through the skid mark soundboard on there?
• 43:06
  Well, yeah, so I'll tell you guys, before this show I made
• 43:10
  macaroni and cheese because I I needed some kind of carbs
• 43:13
  because I haven't had any today. What kind?
• 43:16
  What kind? Macaron Kraft.
• 43:18
  OK. I'll just, well, that's where I
• 43:19
  was going. I was like Velveeta sales and
• 43:21
  teas. No, no, no, I make craft and I
• 43:24
  actually make a really good speedy.
• 43:25
  How good is my macaroni and cheese?
• 43:27
  I make a really good macaroni, so I made Mac and cheese.
• 43:29
  So anytime I have Mac and cheese it gives me the bubble guts so
• 43:34
  it I. Do you do you, do you fancy up
• 43:37
  your Mac and cheese or you just Yeah, I put.
• 43:39
  Cheese. No, I put cheese in it.
• 43:40
  I heat up cheese and I put it on top of it.
• 43:43
  I melt it on top of it. So yeah, I do it differently.
• 43:47
  You don't bake it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 43:50
  no, no. I'm not.
• 43:52
  I'm not one of those guys. That that's the Nebraska way.
• 43:54
  We're the New Yorkers. We like to do it, you know.
• 43:57
  Nebraska Wait, no, it's not good.
• 44:00
  Mac and cheese. You should almost break your
• 44:02
  spoon. It should be real thick and you
• 44:04
  should be. There should be.
• 44:05
  You should hit it and it should be crusty.
• 44:06
  You know what? We should call Java.
• 44:08
  His nickname should be Mr. Big Mac.
• 44:10
  That's what we should call him. I've never had a Big Mac in my
• 44:13
  life. No, I've just called.
• 44:14
  Obviously, I just could. I don't want that middle bun,
• 44:17
  I'm not into that. Nobody wants that middle ball.
• 44:20
  Scoops had a Big Mac today. I did.
• 44:23
  I'm a Big Mac enjoyer. I like a Big Mac here and there.
• 44:26
  I know fish might not like the little bun, but hey, I just got
• 44:29
  to say like that middle bun. It just looks weird, but that's
• 44:31
  what makes it a good Big Mac. That's true.
• 44:33
  Well, I want to give a shout out to Brandon Stotted for joining
• 44:35
  us. He was sensational.
• 44:36
  He really was. And we had a lot of fun with him
• 44:39
  and maybe he comes November 17th.
• 44:41
  It'll be it'll be a cool, cool opportunity.
• 44:45
  We'll have a lot of athletes hopefully to come down and sit
• 44:47
  with us and we'll we'll be doing some giveaways and having fun
• 44:50
  with the fans and I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy some of the
• 44:55
  content that we're going to dish out to you guys.
• 44:57
  If you like this show, which most people that have seen it
• 45:01
  and checked it out thinks it's one of the best shows, you guys
• 45:04
  are going to laugh in person because I don't know what we're
• 45:07
  going to do. So it's it's one of those, but
• 45:10
  we have to be polite because there might be kids there and
• 45:14
  and stuff like that. But we'll definitely have fun
• 45:16
  with the kids. So definitely come down November
• 45:19
  17th, Carmine's Midtown Manhattan.
• 45:23
  We will be there promoting Jabba in the mouth.
• 45:27
  All right, Speedy Stat of the week.
• 45:30
  The Speedy you may run like me, but you hit like out of the
• 45:36
  wake. Finkel is Iron horn.
• 45:41
  Now this that will not be on the Miami Dolphins this week because
• 45:44
  they don't deserve any stats worthwhile.
• 45:46
  Let's go into one of their AFC East division rivals and I'm
• 45:50
  going to allude to how good their defensive line was this
• 45:54
  week against the Chiefs offensive line and that is the
• 45:57
  Buffalo Bills. So the Buffalo Bills pressured
• 46:00
  Patrick Mahomes on 52.6% of his drop backs, which is 3014.3%
• 46:06
  more than any of their ever any of their matchups in the last
• 46:09
  five years. 9 total from Greg Rousseau which is the third most
• 46:13
  in his career. Just to put it in perspective,
• 46:15
  how good the Chiefs offensive line was coming into this game,
• 46:18
  they had three players in the top three at their positions at
• 46:21
  QB pressure rate and they're two.
• 46:22
  Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith, high paid offensive lineman,
• 46:25
  didn't allow a sack coming into this game.
• 46:27
  Patrick Mahomes just three of 16 passing for 61 yards in
• 46:31
  interception when he was passing under pressure and this is the
• 46:33
  first time in his career Patrick Mahomes had a completion
• 46:37
  percentage less than 50%, just 44.1% in that game.
• 46:42
  Well, Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes has an opportunity to
• 46:47
  possibly meet up with Josh Allen in the playoffs again.
• 46:50
  But both teams are making the playoffs.
• 46:52
  I expect them to both compete and, and we knew this was going
• 46:56
  to happen. We all picked Buffalo to win,
• 46:58
  did we not? Every one of us picked Buffalo
• 47:01
  to win so. And let's start right there,
• 47:04
  Errol, with everyone knows it, affectionately known as.
• 47:10
  The whip around. Oh my God.
• 47:15
  Whip around. Can't.
• 47:20
  Wait, all right. Like we said, we're starting
• 47:22
  right there with the marquee match up of the week.
• 47:24
  The Bills 28, Chiefs 21. You said it, Mahomes inefficient
• 47:30
  below 50% quarterback rating 57.2.
• 47:33
  Kareem Hunt had a touchdown on the ground, so did Rashi Rice.
• 47:38
  Rushy Rice 80 yards catch receiving.
• 47:40
  Dalton Kincaid was the big receiver of the game, 101 yards
• 47:43
  through the air and one touchdown.
• 47:48
  Who is playing around with the camera all right?
• 47:51
  And then James Cook again, another 100 yard games, having
• 47:54
  one of the best seasons of any running back in the league after
• 47:57
  he signed that contract in the preseason.
• 47:59
  Josh Allen pretty efficient, 23 of 26273 and a touchdown with
• 48:04
  two touchdowns on the ground. Errol.
• 48:10
  Josh, Josh Allen has to be consistent like this.
• 48:13
  If he plays like this, Buffalo is going to have a chance to
• 48:15
  win. Cook is is one of the better
• 48:18
  running backs in the league. He was kind of being the shadow
• 48:21
  of his brother Dalvin, and now all of a sudden he's taking off.
• 48:24
  And remember, this guy was a third or fourth round pick.
• 48:28
  I think that this kid has the ability to find ways to find the
• 48:32
  seam and we've seen them all season long really explode right
• 48:35
  off the paper. I expect them to continue this
• 48:38
  run and and being one of the elite running backs in the
• 48:41
  league again, I worry about this defense.
• 48:44
  I don't know if they're going to be a run stopping team all
• 48:47
  season long. They lost Oliver for the season.
• 48:50
  Now they've added they're getting more healthy and we'll
• 48:53
  see how this works. What worries me about the Kansas
• 48:57
  City Chiefs right now is not Patrick Mahomes.
• 49:00
  It's this offensive line. This offensive line that
• 49:03
  everybody said, oh, Simmons, this is a good young kid and
• 49:06
  this is this offensive line is going to be a little bit better
• 49:09
  with the youth that they added to the line.
• 49:11
  They've been a shell of themselves over the last couple
• 49:13
  of weeks and you could see that even though they're putting up
• 49:17
  in their winning and everybody says, well, look, they're back
• 49:20
  to the normal selves. They're not back to their normal
• 49:22
  selves. If you look at this, this team,
• 49:25
  there's so many deficiencies and that secondary, I mean, besides
• 49:30
  Mcduffie, right? It was Mcduffie.
• 49:32
  He's the only one. That secondary sucks.
• 49:35
  There's nothing good about this team.
• 49:38
  If you're a Kansas City Chief fan, you can't expect this team
• 49:41
  to be an elite team or a contender.
• 49:43
  But if they meet Buffalo in the playoffs, they know each other
• 49:46
  very, very well. Patrick and and obviously Josh
• 49:49
  Allen know each other and they're going to play very, very
• 49:51
  hard against one another. So I expected to be a very good
• 49:53
  game, no matter how bad or how inefficient both teams could be
• 49:58
  in certain games. I'll go some other credit to the
• 50:00
  Bills, their secondary with some of the youngsters, they started
• 50:04
  the first round pick. Harrison got his I think second
• 50:06
  start in that game. They had a couple backup
• 50:08
  safeties in the game that I think played very well.
• 50:10
  You saw the ball skills really being there.
• 50:12
  And I think on the and the Bills I think also with their
• 50:14
  secondary receivers. Finally, you're getting it
• 50:16
  going. You're right, Errol, the chief
• 50:17
  secondary depth is not what it used to be.
• 50:19
  But they usually like, like I said, the Packers receivers,
• 50:22
  they usually have one guy that emerges in a span of like two or
• 50:25
  three games and they don't have that this.
• 50:26
  Year and what's going on with Rice I mean when this guy comes
• 50:29
  back two weeks you expect them to explode right off the paper.
• 50:32
  Everybody says this is going to be a different Kansas City
• 50:35
  offense. I don't know.
• 50:37
  Rice is taking a lot of the lot of the looks away from the other
• 50:41
  guys that were playing highly well and now all of a sudden
• 50:44
  this team is not as explosive with Rice.
• 50:48
  They're more better without him. That's what I said.
• 50:51
  I. Was actually just going to get
• 50:51
  to that as my next point. He didn't get a target in the
• 50:54
  second-half until 7 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, which
• 50:57
  when you're down in the game to a team like the, you can't
• 50:59
  afford to like, play games with that kind.
• 51:00
  Of should have never started. And the last take away is the
• 51:03
  Chiefs. You badly need a running back to
• 51:04
  the trade deadline. Whatever you're doing right now
• 51:06
  is not. Working.
• 51:07
  It's not going to be Bruce Hall, ladies and gentlemen.
• 51:09
  He's not going to Kansas City, I'm telling.
• 51:12
  Yeah, I mean, you guys kind of covered it.
• 51:14
  It's it's always interesting. There's always something that
• 51:16
  happens in a Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes game.
• 51:18
  I was, I was wondering what was going to happen with the offense
• 51:21
  when she, Rashe Rice came back and I didn't think it was going
• 51:24
  to go this way. I mean, obviously he's he's
• 51:26
  played well, but I think it's kind of been a detriment to the
• 51:28
  offense as a whole. But like we talked about
• 51:32
  earlier, I think they're just getting older and it's kind of
• 51:34
  showing. And you know, Josh Allen's a
• 51:36
  stud too. And you know, the way, the way
• 51:39
  they can run the ball too and then open up the field is has
• 51:42
  been pretty good against the Chiefs.
• 51:43
  So I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me if you
• 51:46
  see him again though. I don't know if you guys heard
• 51:48
  his interview at ESPN, I don't want to say it, but it was so
• 51:51
  interesting about how he feels being married now and how he
• 51:55
  sees himself as a young man, young quarterback that's trying
• 52:00
  to figure out how to get to the Super Bowl.
• 52:02
  And he says I won't. I won't be in the big time until
• 52:06
  I get to that position where I have a chance to win a chip.
• 52:09
  And until that happens, I feel that I'm at loss where I am and,
• 52:13
  and in the position I'm in as a star quarterback in this league.
• 52:16
  I think he he knows without a championship, he's never going
• 52:19
  to be considered an elite quarterback or even amongst the
• 52:24
  greatest quarterbacks of all time and he needs to win that
• 52:26
  ship. So that was.
• 52:27
  He did have a dope Halloween costume though.
• 52:29
  Yeah, he did. So did his.
• 52:31
  So did his wife. Vicki Galancourt was even, I
• 52:34
  mean hers. And then then the sign was just
• 52:37
  the, I mean, the icing on it, it was that was awesome.
• 52:41
  Yeah. Pretty strong.
• 52:43
  Not from very pretty strong to not so strong. 49ers 34, Giants
• 52:49
  24. 49ers go to six and three behind the great Christian
• 52:53
  McCaffrey. 28 carries, 106 yards and a touchdown on the ground. 5
• 52:57
  catches, 67 yards and a touchdown through the air.
• 53:01
  Juan Jennings had a touchdown. Backup running back Brian
• 53:03
  Robinson junior from used to be on Washington. 5 carries, 53
• 53:08
  yards and a touchdown. 49ers could just do whatever they
• 53:11
  wanted against that Giants defense all day.
• 53:15
  For the Giants, Jackson Dart had another good game in the loss.
• 53:18
  2430 Three, 191, two touchdowns, 8 carries, 56 yards on the
• 53:23
  ground and a touchdown. He seems to be a pretty darn
• 53:27
  good quarterback. He's gotten no help.
• 53:29
  Darius Sladen, with another key drop in the game, had the most
• 53:33
  receiving yards. 5 catches, 62 Wandell Robinson gets all the
• 53:36
  short catches. That's pretty much it.
• 53:40
  Theo Johnson got another touchdown at the tight end
• 53:42
  position. Errol, the Giants defense is an
• 53:47
  atrocity and we, we know that, you know, they've got all these
• 53:52
  names in the front 7. I don't know if you could name a
• 53:55
  single guy in the back of the secondary left healthy that's
• 53:59
  worth playing in the NFL anymore.
• 54:01
  Well, I wrote a story over the weekend about Carl Banks in the
• 54:05
  Dexter Lawrence beef, and you can see why Carl Banks came out
• 54:10
  and and said that these guys don't have any heart.
• 54:13
  And and I'm not saying I think Dexter Lawrence is not healthy.
• 54:16
  And I think that's the problem. Sexy Dexy has not been the same
• 54:19
  player as he was last year and the year before.
• 54:22
  And I think it has a lot to do with injury.
• 54:24
  And I think he's just playing and he's fighting this, but it's
• 54:27
  been an atrocity. And and and really the secondary
• 54:30
  is just nowhere to be found. And and yeah, Jackson Dart looks
• 54:34
  good, but what is it going to take for him to get injured?
• 54:37
  I mean, the guy is always running outside of the pocket
• 54:39
  trying to use his legs. This guy needs to stand in the
• 54:42
  pocket and make throws. If he continues to do this, he's
• 54:45
  going to put himself in the yeah, he's going to get hurt
• 54:48
  just like Scataboo because KATAPU plays one way and when
• 54:52
  you play one way it doesn't work.
• 54:54
  And I've heard a lot of quarterbacks come out.
• 54:55
  Eli Manning said it on the Manning cap or whatever the the
• 54:59
  Manning goes show. He said that.
• 55:01
  I like what I like what Jackson Dart does.
• 55:04
  I like everything about him. I like the way he plays.
• 55:07
  But he says it doesn't work in the NFL.
• 55:09
  It's never going to last in the NFL the way he is playing.
• 55:12
  If he doesn't figure out how to stand in the pocket and make
• 55:15
  those throws and he depends too much on his legs, it's going to
• 55:18
  come back and haunt him. So I know you love him and I
• 55:22
  like his personality, but it doesn't work in the NFL.
• 55:25
  Ask Justin, ask Justin Fields, ask Lamar Jackson.
• 55:28
  When he came into the league, he needed to figure it out and he
• 55:31
  needed to figure out how to complete passes.
• 55:33
  If he doesn't figure that out and soon, he's going to be on
• 55:37
  the IR and he might never really achieve what everybody thinks he
• 55:41
  could achieve. So yeah, there's enough sample
• 55:43
  size now with these semi mobile or mobile quarterbacks that
• 55:46
  don't know how to slide right away.
• 55:47
  I worried about that, that kind of thing with Bo Nicks early in
• 55:49
  his career because when he was at Auburn, anyone who was at
• 55:51
  Oregon, he would be sometimes playing reckless, running very
• 55:53
  goofy. And Jackson Dart had some of
• 55:55
  those traits at the end of his career at Ole Miss, too.
• 55:57
  He cannot keep playing like that.
• 55:58
  He's got to learn to slide. He's got to learn how to throw
• 56:00
  it away if he's trying to throw on the run and extend it.
• 56:03
  Because, yeah, let's face it, the Giants are not going to go
• 56:05
  anywhere with this wide receiving core as it is.
• 56:07
  So you want to have other traits in his development that are
• 56:09
  learned. Winning games is not the
• 56:10
  important thing for him that right now because they're not
• 56:13
  going anywhere. And this coaching staff is not
• 56:14
  going to go anywhere. So Dart has to develop.
• 56:16
  He's got to learn those kinds of things now before he gets hurt,
• 56:19
  like your guys are saying. Yeah.
• 56:20
  Do you think it's too like when you're a player like that and we
• 56:23
  we've seen players like that before Mark Sanchez, Joe Girardi
• 56:26
  had to teach him how to slide. Do you do you think it's hard
• 56:30
  like when you have that mentality and that's how they
• 56:32
  played and now coming obviously a step above, like, do you think
• 56:36
  it's hard for them to to reel it back to understand that like you
• 56:40
  can't run for your life? Like this is a different level
• 56:42
  of football. Obviously we all know the Mark
• 56:45
  Sanchez story and and it didn't help.
• 56:47
  By the way, Joe Girardi went not once but twice and it didn't
• 56:50
  help. I was there.
• 56:51
  I know if you would have seen him try to slide, like he did it
• 56:55
  once at the stadium and then he did it once Joe went to
• 56:59
  practice, if you would have seen him slide, you'd have literally
• 57:03
  like that. There's no way this dude's a
• 57:04
  starting quarterback. And like he looked the most
• 57:06
  unathletic I've ever seen. Yeah, I, I, I don't know.
• 57:10
  If Jackson dot doesn't figure this out, he's going to get
• 57:12
  hurt. And you can see it.
• 57:14
  Quarterbacks look at look at the way Drake May plays.
• 57:18
  OK, Drake May is the that prototypical quarterback that
• 57:22
  you you like to watch. Why?
• 57:23
  Because he steps into the pocket, he makes the throw and
• 57:26
  then when he needs and he gives it, he gets a lane, he runs and
• 57:29
  he slides. As soon as he sees somebody, a
• 57:31
  linebacker, come at him, he's on the ground and he slides.
• 57:35
  Alex, remember Alex Smith? Alex Smith was the king of doing
• 57:39
  that. He, it really didn't change
• 57:41
  until Jim Harbaugh went there and Jim Harbaugh said you need
• 57:44
  to slide because you see Alex Smith, he would try to get the
• 57:47
  extra 5 or 6 yards. Jackson Dart needs to stop doing
• 57:50
  that. If he continuously keeps doing
• 57:52
  that, he's going to get hurt. He's going to be at a
• 57:55
  significant amount of time. It might not be the quarterback
• 57:58
  that we think he could be. So here's the problem.
• 58:01
  It's not scrambles. They're designing runs for him
• 58:04
  to run in in the red zone and I'm just sitting there like
• 58:07
  you're losing by 21 points. Why are we doing?
• 58:10
  You're not going. Back run in the third quarter of
• 58:14
  a game that you're not winning with the franchise quarterback.
• 58:18
  It's the same thing that we'll talk about at the end of the
• 58:21
  whip around with Jaden Daniels having his arm turned inside out
• 58:25
  in a game that was over doing some kind of quarterback run for
• 58:29
  no goddamn reason when the game was over.
• 58:32
  It's just madness. I hope the Giants aren't that
• 58:34
  stupid, but you know, history and what I see may dictate
• 58:38
  otherwise. Let's go to the next set of
• 58:40
  games. We'll start with the Thursday
• 58:42
  game real quick. We've already, you know, seen
• 58:44
  that The Ravens all over the Dolphins.
• 58:45
  Not much to say. Lamar Jackson was back. 4
• 58:48
  touchdowns, 200. Yards might save John Harpo's
• 58:51
  job, by the way. Yeah.
• 58:53
  Well, I mean, the Dolphins are kind of garbage.
• 58:55
  They fire their GM after the game.
• 58:57
  The Vikings 27, the Lions 24. This was an surprise football
• 59:02
  game, pretty big surprise. But for a lot of people, JJ
• 59:05
  McCarthy, in his return to the starting lineup, gets a big win
• 59:09
  over the Lions, kind of keeps their season going, gets them
• 59:12
  only a game behind Detroit. J JS demented.
• 59:15
  Did you see the afterwards when they gave him the game ball like
• 59:18
  the dude was in a trance like he was not in like in this realm.
• 59:22
  He was somewhere else. Oh my gosh, that dude.
• 59:26
  It was crazy when I was like, whoa, this dude is on it.
• 59:29
  So he's he's different. You know, a lot of big, big
• 59:32
  plays in that game. Justin Jefferson had a receiving
• 59:35
  touchdown. So to TJ Hawkinson, but nothing
• 59:37
  crazy stats wise over there for the Vikings.
• 59:40
  Laporta 97 yards in a touchdown. He's starting to pick up his
• 59:44
  game. Another 97 yards as well.
• 59:45
  Laporta is stepping it up. Really nothing doing on the
• 59:49
  ground. That was the story in this game.
• 59:51
  The Vikings completely shut down the running attack. 65 total
• 59:55
  yards for combined for Montgomery and Gibbs.
• 59:58
  Gibbs only 25 yards on 9 carries in this one.
• 1:00:01
  Here's the honest honesty here. JJ McCarthy was not good in that
• 1:00:05
  game. 14 completed passes, 143 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1
• 1:00:09
  interceptions. He was sacked five times.
• 1:00:11
  He didn't have a big day, OK? And anybody that thinks he did,
• 1:00:15
  what I see the difference of this offense now is Aaron Jones
• 1:00:19
  is back. And if Aaron Jones is 100% and
• 1:00:23
  he can run the ball and that opens up the field for JJ
• 1:00:26
  McCarthy, you will see why. JJ McCarthy was special when he
• 1:00:30
  was coming out of the draft. He can run, he can throw on the
• 1:00:34
  run. We heard Jim Harbaugh say very
• 1:00:36
  highly, great things about him. The thing is, my surprise is the
• 1:00:41
  Lions, I do not know what's going on with this team.
• 1:00:43
  I I really don't. And it's not because it's Jared
• 1:00:46
  Goff, because he had a big day. He was 25 for 37200 and 8084
• 1:00:50
  yards, 2 touchdowns, no interceptions, but he was sacked
• 1:00:53
  five times. His quarterback rating was
• 1:00:55
  108.4, which is what you want a starting quarterback in an elite
• 1:00:59
  quarterback to do. The problem with them is they're
• 1:01:02
  running game. It's inconsistent.
• 1:01:05
  This could be an elite running game one week and a crappy
• 1:01:09
  running game the next. If they don't have that elite
• 1:01:11
  running, there's no way that this offense could really be at
• 1:01:16
  the top of its game. Think about it this, think about
• 1:01:18
  it this way. David Montgomery had 11
• 1:01:21
  attempts, 11 attempts. He had one touchdown, 40 rushing
• 1:01:25
  yards. Jameer Gibbs, who I believe is
• 1:01:28
  one of the most explosive running backs in the league as
• 1:01:31
  far as catching a ball and running the ball. 9 attempts for
• 1:01:34
  25 yards. That is not going to get it
• 1:01:38
  done. That's why the Lions won this
• 1:01:40
  game. Lost this game.
• 1:01:41
  If they could run the ball, there's no way Minnesota keeps
• 1:01:44
  up with this team. JJ McCarthy was cropping the
• 1:01:46
  game. So yeah, this, I think this is
• 1:01:48
  the first game you really saw the Lions miss Frank Ragnar,
• 1:01:51
  who's missed the whole season. They also lost another interior
• 1:01:53
  offensive lineman, one of the rookies in the game in
• 1:01:55
  Minnesota. That's why you make those trades
• 1:01:57
  for Hargrave and Jonathan Allen to beef up that interior
• 1:02:00
  defensive line. The Lions, I think if you can
• 1:02:02
  beat them on the interior, usually you beat teams on the
• 1:02:05
  edge, you could usually do well. It's the opposite with the like
• 1:02:07
  if you could beat them on the interior.
• 1:02:08
  Golf struggles with interior pressure.
• 1:02:10
  You see the results and I talked about the Bills high pressure
• 1:02:12
  rate. The Vikings, I think we're about
• 1:02:13
  44% too, which is insane considering the level of
• 1:02:15
  offensive line the Lions played against.
• 1:02:18
  Yeah, no, obviously I became a pseudo Vikings fan, like I've
• 1:02:21
  said, and we were talking about this.
• 1:02:23
  It's like the first time that online stepped up and yeah, and
• 1:02:27
  JJ wasn't great. So it's it's it's funny how
• 1:02:30
  definitely didn't expect that ending the way and especially
• 1:02:32
  the stop on the ground the way they did.
• 1:02:35
  I mean, that was that was the game in itself.
• 1:02:38
  Why are you a sudo Vikings fan? You know they have the most
• 1:02:40
  Nebraska players. No one of Carter's best friends
• 1:02:44
  that they grew up with his dad. He's a like he's a true sports
• 1:02:48
  guy because his baseball team's the Orioles and has been ever
• 1:02:51
  since I've known him and the boys.
• 1:02:52
  We literally grew up together. So for the last almost shoot 20
• 1:02:57
  years and he's a Vikings fan. So it's I was like, it's the
• 1:03:01
  most random things ever. So then I was like I didn't have
• 1:03:04
  a pro team, just guys that I knew that played.
• 1:03:07
  So I became a pseudo Vikings. Fan All right, so Pete Pseudo
• 1:03:13
  Pete Pursica. Loved that.
• 1:03:14
  That's about it. Yeah, we got to get Pete back
• 1:03:17
  on. So here's the next set of games.
• 1:03:20
  This one was a real surprise. The Panthers 16, Packers 13 in
• 1:03:27
  Lambeau. The Panthers are five and four
• 1:03:30
  on the season. Story was Rico Dowdle, former
• 1:03:33
  Cowboy, 25 carries, 130 yards, 2 touchdowns on the ground.
• 1:03:39
  Jordan Love and you know, I always say this about him, he
• 1:03:43
  has games like this where it's just what are we doing here?
• 1:03:46
  Just doesn't really seem to make really logical decisions with
• 1:03:49
  the ball at times. 26 of 37273 and a pick.
• 1:03:54
  The chargers 27 Titans 20 Titans got out to an early lead in this
• 1:03:58
  one. It was only a matter of time.
• 1:04:00
  The Chargers pretty much took that back control, and we're in
• 1:04:03
  control most of the way in that one.
• 1:04:05
  Justin Herbert another big game. 19 of 29252 touchdowns, 9
• 1:04:10
  carries, 57 yards and a TD on the ground.
• 1:04:15
  Yeah, I, I the Carolina game was shocking to me.
• 1:04:18
  It really was. And it wasn't because of Bryce
• 1:04:21
  Young, because he was horrendous.
• 1:04:22
  He had 11 completions for 102 yards and one interceptions, one
• 1:04:26
  interception. He had no touchdown passing.
• 1:04:28
  He was getting. He was horrible.
• 1:04:30
  But their Canalis is running his offense through Dowdell and you
• 1:04:34
  could see that this is a completely different offense
• 1:04:37
  when this guy is running on all cylinders.
• 1:04:39
  If you look at the last four weeks, this guy is been one of
• 1:04:43
  the more complete running backs in all of the NFL.
• 1:04:46
  He can catch the ball, he runs the ball, he's dominant.
• 1:04:49
  And you can see the difference in and by the way, this Green
• 1:04:52
  Bay Packer defense that is explosive.
• 1:04:55
  And we see, and everybody compares this to be one of the
• 1:04:58
  elite defenses in the league. Boy, oh boy, when it comes down
• 1:05:01
  to bad teams, they do not show up against teams that they're
• 1:05:06
  much better than. And by the way, and I, I love
• 1:05:09
  Jordan Love. I, I think Jordan Love is, is a
• 1:05:12
  good quarterback. And, and I know everybody looks
• 1:05:15
  at him and he says, well, he put up to 73.
• 1:05:17
  He had no touchdown passes and he had one interception.
• 1:05:20
  That's not getting done getting it done.
• 1:05:22
  Your quarterback rating is at 80.1.
• 1:05:25
  You're supposed to be an elite quarterback.
• 1:05:27
  The only thing that really stands out to me with this
• 1:05:29
  offense is Jacobs. I I mean, when this guy is
• 1:05:32
  playing, he's going to keep you in the game.
• 1:05:35
  They have, they spread out their offense.
• 1:05:37
  They miss Reed when Jaden Reed comes back.
• 1:05:40
  This is a completely different offense.
• 1:05:42
  They lost him in week one against the Cowboys.
• 1:05:45
  They have not been as explosive as we thought they were going to
• 1:05:48
  be. I'm telling you, Reed and losing
• 1:05:51
  Reed is a big loss as far as the charge is concerned.
• 1:05:55
  The big loss here is alt now. They lost their two starting
• 1:05:59
  tackles. I don't know what Justin Herbert
• 1:06:01
  needs to do to prove himself anymore because he's still doing
• 1:06:05
  it without two of his best tackles.
• 1:06:07
  His whole offensive line is down.
• 1:06:09
  But Kai Beck, they can't stay healthy.
• 1:06:11
  I mean, this is just a horrible situation and Jim Hardball still
• 1:06:16
  finds a way to win. He's six and three and, and, and
• 1:06:20
  I'm telling, if nobody thinks Justin Herbert just deserves any
• 1:06:24
  kind of MVP conversation, back and forth conversation, then you
• 1:06:28
  don't know football. This guy is doing it and he's
• 1:06:31
  doing with less with the offensive line.
• 1:06:34
  He's running the ball, he's running, he's rushing touchdowns
• 1:06:38
  and he's opening up the he's opening up his wide receiving,
• 1:06:42
  you know, is right is right wide receiving talent.
• 1:06:45
  There's really nothing out there.
• 1:06:47
  He's got a young, I think a young tight end that looks like
• 1:06:50
  he's going to be good and he has Mcconkey.
• 1:06:53
  I don't trust anybody else. Even Keenan Allen is old.
• 1:06:56
  He has played well, but he he's been old.
• 1:06:59
  You know, he looks old. He looked old this week.
• 1:07:01
  So that's all I'm going to say. The Titans suck so.
• 1:07:04
  Yeah, the Chargers, it's interesting because there's a
• 1:07:06
  high volume in passing offense that we've seen a lot more with
• 1:07:09
  a Greg Roman LED offense that you never really see it just
• 1:07:11
  because their running game has just been so bad because every
• 1:07:13
  running back they have keeps getting hurt and then you lose 2
• 1:07:15
  tackles combined with that and Makai Beckton as well, you're
• 1:07:19
  going to have trouble running the ball.
• 1:07:20
  So Herbert has to. Step and Johnson's not 100%.
• 1:07:22
  Healthy. So it's just Herbert has to step
• 1:07:24
  up and he's been every part of that, especially at this high of
• 1:07:26
  a volume. As far as the Panthers and the
• 1:07:28
  Packers game, the Panthers young defense has actually been a lot
• 1:07:31
  more impressive than I would have thought.
• 1:07:32
  I thought they would have needed some time.
• 1:07:33
  EJ Arro, Rivero got a big contract.
• 1:07:34
  It's a defensive coordinator that looked like it was going to
• 1:07:36
  pan out. But Nick Scorton, Trevor
• 1:07:38
  Wallace, couple of young kids in that defense have played very
• 1:07:40
  well. They're playing well against bad
• 1:07:42
  offenses in the past, but now they finally did it against a
• 1:07:43
  good offense. Yeah, I mean, Packers took a hit
• 1:07:47
  to Tucker. Craft going down stinks.
• 1:07:49
  Please, I didn't want you to say it that it's didn't want you to
• 1:07:54
  say it. My bad.
• 1:07:55
  It kills my fantasy team. I'd love the dude.
• 1:07:58
  Like I love his story, you know, where he's from and all the
• 1:08:01
  other stuff. Yeah, we talked about Herbert a
• 1:08:03
  little bit, like I think, I don't remember who it was.
• 1:08:05
  They're talking about his trash yards last week because he got
• 1:08:07
  over. But I mean, he continues to do
• 1:08:10
  it. And I, I mean, I wish I had his
• 1:08:12
  hair, obviously, but he just can.
• 1:08:15
  But the Titans aren't big. He's got a.
• 1:08:17
  So he's got a pretty good girlfriend too, man, I.
• 1:08:20
  Mean. Yeah, well, I wasn't, I wasn't
• 1:08:21
  going to go there, but that's kind of where I was headed in
• 1:08:24
  that direction, but took a left instead of a right.
• 1:08:27
  I saw him at a Laker game, he looks pretty happy.
• 1:08:32
  Yeah, I mean, good paycheck, hot chick throwing the ball.
• 1:08:35
  Well, I mean, he's, he's doing all right.
• 1:08:37
  He's doing a lot. He's doing more than all right.
• 1:08:43
  She's going to be writing songs about him in many different
• 1:08:45
  ways. Well, I mean, I can't wait
• 1:08:49
  Taylor Swift to get the breakup songs apparently get the wedding
• 1:08:52
  songs too. Well, we already talked about
• 1:08:54
  the Chiefs. This game had some heartbreak in
• 1:08:57
  it for Falcons fans. Patriots won 2423.
• 1:09:00
  The difference was a missed extra point late in the game by
• 1:09:04
  the Falcons when they were going to tie it up.
• 1:09:06
  That's just devastating stats in that game.
• 1:09:09
  Again, very even game in general between the two teams.
• 1:09:14
  Michael Pennix junior had three touchdown passes, all to Drake
• 1:09:17
  London who had 9 catches for 118 yards.
• 1:09:21
  The Patriots Drake May 19 to 29259, two touchdowns and a
• 1:09:25
  pick. Trayvon Henderson LED them with
• 1:09:28
  rushing. You know, no one really had a
• 1:09:29
  jump out game. Demario Douglas apparently lost.
• 1:09:33
  His uncle was shot a couple of days before the game.
• 1:09:37
  He has 100, his first ever 100 yard game and a touchdown in the
• 1:09:41
  win for the Patriots and the other game, Errol our boy Daniel
• 1:09:46
  Jones turned the ball over five times in the Colts lost to the
• 1:09:52
  Steelers. Jones was 31 of 50 for 342A
• 1:09:56
  touchdown, a rushing touchdown as well, and the three picks and
• 1:10:00
  two fumbles. He had two receivers with 115
• 1:10:03
  yards. Alex, it's.
• 1:10:04
  Going to happen once or twice I'm not worried about.
• 1:10:06
  It well, I mean, look, it's that's fine.
• 1:10:10
  Jalen Warren had two rushing touchdowns for Pittsburgh, but
• 1:10:12
  really didn't get much on the ground.
• 1:10:14
  They had 38 total rushing yards. I mean, the story they didn't
• 1:10:18
  really have anyone standing out passing.
• 1:10:19
  Friarmouth had a touchdown at the tight end, but it was, you
• 1:10:23
  know, you can't win the game if you turn the ball over five
• 1:10:25
  times, man. No, it is.
• 1:10:27
  And I agree with you and I'm not, and I'm not going to take
• 1:10:29
  shots at. I want to go to the Patriot Game
• 1:10:32
  first because what's interesting to me is Michael Pennix, when he
• 1:10:37
  plays, he gives his chance, his team a chance to win every
• 1:10:40
  single week. Bijon Robinson had a bad week.
• 1:10:43
  I think that was the problem with Atlanta and I think the
• 1:10:46
  Patriots found a way to stop Bijon.
• 1:10:48
  When you stop Bijon and you stop that offense and you saw it,
• 1:10:51
  Michael Pennix is special. We could see that he is going to
• 1:10:55
  develop into a really good quarterback.
• 1:10:56
  I don't know if he's going to be Caleb Williams or Jaden Daniels.
• 1:11:00
  We'll see. But he's shown to be a very
• 1:11:03
  important piece to this team's future and I love what I see.
• 1:11:06
  But I'm going to tell you this, he I don't think he's a top five
• 1:11:10
  quarterback, but Drake May has been very consistent.
• 1:11:14
  You can't you can't complain or you can't argue that 1919 for
• 1:11:18
  29259 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception.
• 1:11:22
  He was sacked 6 times. But now I think they're going to
• 1:11:25
  start running Henderson and you could see that maybe the
• 1:11:28
  youngster is going to get an opportunity and maybe that'll
• 1:11:30
  open up the offense a little bit better and spread this offense
• 1:11:34
  out. Like you said, Douglas had his
• 1:11:35
  first 100 yard game. Henry Diggs needs to play
• 1:11:38
  better. I know he had a touchdown, but
• 1:11:40
  he needs to play better. He's a leader.
• 1:11:42
  He has to play better. Now as far as the Indianapolis
• 1:11:45
  Colts game, yeah, Daniel Jones didn't have that rock solid
• 1:11:49
  game. He still threw over 342 yards
• 1:11:52
  and he only lost by 7. He kept his team in the game.
• 1:11:55
  Even with the mistakes. The defense is elite.
• 1:11:58
  You can see that Indianapolis is defense is elite.
• 1:12:01
  They're going to be able to compete even when they make
• 1:12:03
  these kind of mistakes. That's the interesting thing
• 1:12:05
  with all the mistakes that Indianapolis made this week,
• 1:12:09
  they still were in the game. Their defense kept them in the
• 1:12:12
  game. And that to me tells me that
• 1:12:15
  this can be a contender and championship intended team with
• 1:12:19
  the talent that they have. They can run the ball.
• 1:12:21
  They've got a they got Taylor, even though he didn't have a
• 1:12:24
  big, big game. I think he's explosive.
• 1:12:26
  He's as explosive as anywhere like back in the league.
• 1:12:29
  Pittman had a great day. I should have started him.
• 1:12:31
  I'm smacking myself in the head and so did Pierce.
• 1:12:34
  I, I think they got weapons all over the field and, and, and
• 1:12:38
  again, congratulations to Aaron Rodgers.
• 1:12:40
  But Aaron Rodgers didn't have a big day.
• 1:12:42
  As a matter of fact, he was sick.
• 1:12:43
  He was sacked 3 times and he only had one touchdown.
• 1:12:46
  What was impressive to that to me about them is their defense
• 1:12:50
  and their red zone defense. At some point to this game, it
• 1:12:54
  was remarkable how good this defense played.
• 1:12:56
  TJ Watt was all over the field. The defense was all over the
• 1:13:00
  place making plays. The secretary played very, very
• 1:13:03
  well and you saw what happened. Yeah, there's a lot of questions
• 1:13:07
  with Terrell Austin, defensive coordinator.
• 1:13:08
  With the Steelers, you saw the run defense been really bad, but
• 1:13:11
  they helped. They really buckled down against
• 1:13:13
  Jonathan Taylor. He really struggled in this
• 1:13:14
  game. The offensive line on the
• 1:13:15
  interior, that's normally very good for the Colts struggled in
• 1:13:17
  this game and it just affected the rest of their offense.
• 1:13:19
  You're right, their offense didn't really do much.
• 1:13:21
  I'm not going to jump the gun, so that meant anything, but
• 1:13:23
  maybe the Colts have a trade deadline move or two on defense
• 1:13:25
  that they could do. As far as the Falcons, they look
• 1:13:28
  really undisciplined and that's not a good sign, especially with
• 1:13:30
  the pre snap penalty. Look for their coaches.
• 1:13:32
  Yeah. And I get concerned on that too
• 1:13:34
  and especially how good their offensive line is.
• 1:13:36
  Like there's a lot of pre snap penalties and a lot of them on
• 1:13:39
  3rd down, a lot of them on 4th down when they could have gone
• 1:13:41
  for it on 4th and one. I agree with you on Pennix.
• 1:13:43
  He did everything he could under pressure a lot of the time.
• 1:13:44
  Smart decisions. Obviously London at the great
• 1:13:46
  game, but you can't be beating yourselves like the Falcons have
• 1:13:49
  been doing. They beat the Bills and now have
• 1:13:50
  lost three straights. I will say this, High Smith is
• 1:13:54
  back and if he plays this well, watch out for this defense
• 1:13:59
  because he hasn't been at 100% all season long.
• 1:14:02
  He's been fighting injury really since the second-half of the
• 1:14:05
  season last year. If High Smith plays like this,
• 1:14:08
  he had two sacks in the game and he dominated a line of
• 1:14:10
  scrimmage. He had four tackles.
• 1:14:12
  This defense is completely different.
• 1:14:17
  Yeah, yeah. I mean, you guys kind of pretty
• 1:14:18
  much covered it all. So I'm going to sit here and
• 1:14:20
  listen all. Right, we got 2 more left.
• 1:14:24
  Let's get into the next set of games.
• 1:14:26
  The Broncos defeated the Texans 18 to 15 in the game where CJ
• 1:14:31
  Stroud was knocked out early in the first half.
• 1:14:34
  He was sliding and got that hit, was tough in the middle of a
• 1:14:38
  slide, concussion protocol. Davis Mills had to finish the
• 1:14:42
  what the IT the rest of the way. The Texans did have a lead.
• 1:14:45
  They didn't really score any points after that.
• 1:14:47
  Bo Nicks was able to do just enough for them to win, and in
• 1:14:52
  overtime the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Raiders 30.
• 1:14:57
  No thanks to Travis Hunter. Pee Wee at the end of the well,
• 1:15:01
  he didn't play because he's on the IR.
• 1:15:03
  Yeah, he's a pee. Wee no.
• 1:15:05
  But the big, big thing in that game was the extra point.
• 1:15:10
  They decided to go for two at the end of the game in overtime
• 1:15:13
  to go for the win instead of for the tie.
• 1:15:15
  And they did not get it. It gets knocked down right at
• 1:15:18
  the line in a pretty embarrassing looking play for
• 1:15:21
  Geno Smith, who otherwise played his best game of the season. 29
• 1:15:26
  of 39284 and 4 touchdowns 3. To the returning and finally
• 1:15:31
  healthy for my fantasy team that's now better than yours 0.
• 1:15:36
  Because of because of 1. 12 catches because of Brock, Powers
• 1:15:39
  because of 12 catches 1. One week I lost a.
• 1:15:43
  Week. I lost a week and this guy says
• 1:15:47
  his team's better than mine. Get out of here.
• 1:15:49
  Gently had 42 yards on the ground, 47.
• 1:15:52
  I lost one. Touchdown, but that's that game.
• 1:15:57
  Pretty close game all the way through to the end.
• 1:16:01
  What do you think about those two close ones?
• 1:16:02
  I, I think Bo Nicks, there's a problem here.
• 1:16:04
  I, I don't think Bo Nicks is what he was last year.
• 1:16:07
  He's having a, a sophomore slump.
• 1:16:09
  You can see it. It's a big problem right now for
• 1:16:12
  them. I think the Broncos are in
• 1:16:14
  trouble. This team, if they depend too
• 1:16:16
  much on their defense going into the playoffs, they're going to
• 1:16:19
  be 1 and done. I, I just don't think they're
• 1:16:21
  going to be able to. They're 7:00 and 2:00, but I
• 1:16:23
  think they're a bad seven and two.
• 1:16:25
  I don't really think they're as good as their record shows, 18
• 1:16:29
  to 15 against team that has a great defense but have no
• 1:16:33
  offense and they lost their quarterback in the first quarter
• 1:16:37
  and you almost lost that game. That is a problem for anybody to
• 1:16:40
  see that to believe be like, well, they're seven and two and
• 1:16:43
  they have the one of the elite defenses elite.
• 1:16:46
  They're not putting up enough points.
• 1:16:48
  And that's what that was the problem when we had Sanders
• 1:16:51
  Sanderson on this show. I argued who is their secondary
• 1:16:54
  option? Where is their second part of
• 1:16:57
  their offense coming from? If if they Courtland Sutton
• 1:17:01
  doesn't get the ball? I, I, I don't know where they're
• 1:17:03
  getting it. They're not getting enough of
• 1:17:05
  it. And that's the problem.
• 1:17:07
  And I've got to give JK Dobbins a little bit of credit.
• 1:17:10
  I mean, this guy had tears in ACL every other year and he
• 1:17:14
  comes back and he's still one of the elite running backs in the
• 1:17:17
  league. It's ridiculous.
• 1:17:20
  How many times does this guy have to tear his knee and come
• 1:17:22
  back and only sign a one year deal and show up and play as
• 1:17:27
  hard as he does. It's remarkable what this guy
• 1:17:30
  is. He's 4th in the NFL and rushing.
• 1:17:32
  It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable.
• 1:17:34
  It's unbelievable right now what JK Toppins is doing as far as
• 1:17:39
  the Jacksonville check was well, how can I say this, Trevor
• 1:17:45
  Lawrence sucks, OK, he's bad. OK, I I don't know what more to
• 1:17:50
  say about this 2023 for 34220 yards, no touchdowns, won a
• 1:17:56
  deception. I mean, you are an elite
• 1:17:59
  quarterback. You were being compared to
• 1:18:01
  Andrew Luck and you just can't do anything on a football field.
• 1:18:06
  You got weapons like you do and and you have weapons.
• 1:18:09
  I don't want to hear it. ETN is a weapon.
• 1:18:12
  ETN is still putting up numbers. I'm very surprised he's putting
• 1:18:15
  up the numbers he has this year. But you're getting offense from
• 1:18:18
  Washington. You have.
• 1:18:20
  Yeah. Brian Thomas Junior, who I think
• 1:18:21
  is so explosive. You're not using them enough in
• 1:18:24
  this game. I I just it's it to me, it's
• 1:18:27
  just doesn't make any sense. And you play a Raiders team that
• 1:18:31
  is trying to lose. This Raiders team is trying to
• 1:18:36
  lose every single game that they look like they're in it.
• 1:18:40
  They lose it at the tail end of it.
• 1:18:42
  The only thing good about this team is Brock Bowers is back.
• 1:18:45
  And boy, oh boy, is he back. He had three reception
• 1:18:50
  touchdowns in the game for 127 yards.
• 1:18:53
  This is why he's the best tight end in football.
• 1:18:55
  And it he it's not even close. When you when you watch a game
• 1:18:58
  like that, he's ridiculous. Yeah, when you know how bad the
• 1:19:01
  Raiders offense has been this year, you could tell that
• 1:19:03
  Jacksonville is missing a lot of key defenders.
• 1:19:05
  I'm not talking about the Gremlin, He's not a key
• 1:19:06
  defender. I'm talking about Jordan Lewis
• 1:19:08
  and Devin Lloyd, who've been actually two of the best at
• 1:19:09
  their positions that year. Jordan Lewis have really good
• 1:19:12
  corner, ex Cowboy that was a slot corner over there and the
• 1:19:15
  Devin Lloyd who arguably could have been the best performance
• 1:19:17
  middle linebacker this year so far.
• 1:19:19
  They missed him in that game. Obviously Bowers cooked and I
• 1:19:21
  agree with Lawrence. His decision making is very
• 1:19:23
  strange sometimes and this is a coaching Cohen that like you
• 1:19:26
  said, no one said it used these secondary options.
• 1:19:28
  Well, what do you do with him, $55 million?
• 1:19:31
  You just signed him for a long term deal.
• 1:19:33
  What do you do with Trevor Lawrence?
• 1:19:35
  You got to hope. Like you can't do anything,
• 1:19:37
  Yeah. You just got to hope that the
• 1:19:38
  the coaching will finally get on to him because so bad.
• 1:19:41
  It seems like a lot of these seems like I don't know if it's
• 1:19:43
  hips, I don't know if it's just he doesn't have the second reads
• 1:19:46
  right because I think Colton's really doing a.
• 1:19:48
  What is what is what is it with these Clemson quarterbacks too?
• 1:19:53
  I mean, Deshaun Watson look like he was going to be special.
• 1:19:55
  Then he was doing the rub and tug and now he's he looks like
• 1:19:59
  he's done with his career. And now you have Trevor
• 1:20:01
  Lawrence. He was the next big thing.
• 1:20:04
  He was the next, he was the next slight thing that everybody
• 1:20:07
  calls, the next slice for, for the NFL superstar quarterback,
• 1:20:11
  and he's not a slice. He's like, I don't know, he's a
• 1:20:15
  double whammy. He has the perfect or talent.
• 1:20:18
  He has the perfect body type that you would want to.
• 1:20:20
  He's a chicken finger that's not cooked.
• 1:20:23
  Yeah, and his brain looks cooked for some of the decisions he's
• 1:20:25
  making and. He's a raw chicken finger,
• 1:20:28
  that's what he is. The Raiders stayed in the game.
• 1:20:30
  Literally. Maybe I got to dip him in some
• 1:20:32
  honey mustard. The Raiders stayed in that game
• 1:20:34
  literally for that reason because Jacksonville was out
• 1:20:35
  playing them, like you said, on pretty much every other angle.
• 1:20:38
  Shout out to Cam Little as well. The NFL record with the field
• 1:20:40
  goals 68 yards and that broke the record.
• 1:20:44
  As far as the other game with the Broncos and the Texans, I
• 1:20:45
  think it was a bad matchup for the Broncos when you look at
• 1:20:47
  Stingley on Sutton too. Dude, you're going to tell me
• 1:20:49
  the Broncos are a good team right now?
• 1:20:52
  I think they're I think they're a good dude.
• 1:20:54
  They barely beat The Jets. They shouldn't have beaten The
• 1:20:56
  Jets. OK?
• 1:20:57
  The Jets practically gave that game away.
• 1:20:59
  They shouldn't have won this game.
• 1:21:01
  And this is a bad Houston. They shouldn't.
• 1:21:04
  Have beat the Giants. They shouldn't have beaten the
• 1:21:05
  Giants. They're not a good team, They're
• 1:21:08
  really not. And to me they're flawed.
• 1:21:11
  There are 70, seven and two flawed football team.
• 1:21:14
  I know your son doesn't want to hear it.
• 1:21:16
  I know Carter doesn't want. To hear it no, no, he he admits
• 1:21:18
  it too. He's like we legitimately are a
• 1:21:22
  soft so he like we could almost be undefeated, but we could
• 1:21:25
  literally be almost last in our division.
• 1:21:27
  Like he even said it last night. We were at dinner and, you know,
• 1:21:30
  we're sitting there just, you know, chopping it up and he was
• 1:21:34
  like, he's like low key dad Bo Nicks was ass.
• 1:21:37
  And I'm like, and I mean, and he's a huge Broncos fan.
• 1:21:40
  He's like, yeah, we pulled it out.
• 1:21:41
  But he goes, I don't know how much more we can keep doing this
• 1:21:44
  and how we stay in these games, like goes defensively.
• 1:21:47
  But yeah, Carter, even Garden even admits to he's like, it's
• 1:21:50
  not a seven and two team, but yeah, it's it's I wonder what
• 1:21:54
  Sanderson would have to say about this.
• 1:21:55
  We got to get him on again, too. But yeah, these two games are
• 1:21:58
  funny because it's like literally he'll.
• 1:22:00
  Make excuses. He'll make excuses.
• 1:22:02
  Yeah, probably. And one of my best is a Raiders
• 1:22:04
  fan and he's like, he goes, I think I threw one of my slippers
• 1:22:07
  because we find a way to lose every week.
• 1:22:11
  And I'm like, man, did you see Max Crosby's tweet?
• 1:22:13
  He's like, just hang in there with us like we're we're real
• 1:22:16
  close and whatever. I'll just like I don't know
• 1:22:19
  about. That yeah, if they had Sam
• 1:22:20
  Darnold. He was like, hang with us and
• 1:22:22
  I'm like Raiders fans are a little different.
• 1:22:25
  Sam Darnold had a monster game in on Sunday Night Football.
• 1:22:29
  Who cares about the? One of 24 for four touchdowns,
• 1:22:34
  one pick, 330 yards. Of course.
• 1:22:39
  Jackson, Smith and Jigva leading the NFL by a lot in receiving
• 1:22:44
  this year. You called that one.
• 1:22:46
  That would be me. OK 948 total receiving yards on
• 1:22:51
  the season and he's had his bye week already.
• 1:22:54
  He's ahead of the next guy. Pretty easy.
• 1:22:56
  It's pretty easy when he's the only weapon that is throwing
• 1:22:59
  too. I mean he throws the boy I.
• 1:23:01
  Said he was going to get the record.
• 1:23:02
  That was exactly my reason that they were going to.
• 1:23:05
  Have I'll go harder to get doubled though to more so
• 1:23:08
  because he is the only weapon. He is getting doubled, but he's
• 1:23:10
  that good. He's just that he's that dude.
• 1:23:13
  Pretty awesome to see him rise to that level.
• 1:23:16
  Commanders though. I mean, the story of this game
• 1:23:18
  is, you know, and Dan Quinn took the blame for it today.
• 1:23:22
  Running Jay, you know, running Jayden Daniels out there first
• 1:23:26
  game back from injury, playing him late in the game when it's
• 1:23:30
  they're just getting pounded and he dislocates his elbow.
• 1:23:35
  He's probably out for the rest of the season.
• 1:23:37
  Maybe he comes back late in the season.
• 1:23:38
  This isn't it isn't his throwing.
• 1:23:40
  He's done. But why would you?
• 1:23:42
  They're not going anywhere. I don't think we see him again
• 1:23:45
  till next year, the Rams and Saints.
• 1:23:48
  I took the Rams defense streaming this week.
• 1:23:50
  I'm very happy I did. The Paints are terrible.
• 1:23:52
  A horrible, horrible franchise. Thank you, because they'll
• 1:23:56
  probably beat The Jets just like they beat the Giants.
• 1:23:59
  Well, they're both terrible franchises.
• 1:24:01
  I wrote a story, I have a story up on a website about Sam
• 1:24:05
  Darnold and and the growth of Sam Darnold.
• 1:24:07
  It's a great article, Speedy. You tell them it's a great
• 1:24:10
  article. Go check it out on the Worldwide
• 1:24:12
  Sports Radio Network. I put it together.
• 1:24:14
  I gave you the insurance and the outs of Russell Wilson and Geno
• 1:24:18
  Smith and why the right jet is in the right place at the right
• 1:24:22
  time. And it is a it's a great
• 1:24:25
  article. Go check it out.
• 1:24:27
  It's about all about Sammy boy. He should be a jet right now.
• 1:24:30
  I'm I'm I'm very upset, but Oh yeah, Seattle is explosive.
• 1:24:35
  They're contender. They're definitely contender
• 1:24:37
  offensively. I got to see more on this
• 1:24:39
  defense. I got to see more on this
• 1:24:41
  secondary. I want to see them against the
• 1:24:44
  elite teams and do it against lead teams if they can do it.
• 1:24:47
  Sam Donald, I believe is the real deal.
• 1:24:49
  I think this team can compete. The Commanders are done that
• 1:24:52
  their season is over. I think their season was over.
• 1:24:56
  Even if Jayden Daniels was the quarterback of this team, I just
• 1:24:59
  don't. I think it's he's got the yips
• 1:25:01
  and I think he has the sophomore year.
• 1:25:03
  I think Jayden Daniels will be good next year.
• 1:25:06
  I don't know if he's as good as Caleb Williams is and that's why
• 1:25:09
  I said it. Teams are figuring him out.
• 1:25:12
  They got tape on him now. So I I'm not saying JD, I'm not
• 1:25:16
  saying saying that he's not good.
• 1:25:19
  I just think you you got to watch now and see what he's
• 1:25:22
  going to be so. Yeah, for everyone who's all
• 1:25:23
  very loose trying to say, oh, it's just not his throwing arm,
• 1:25:26
  he'll be back fine. It's still harder for a running
• 1:25:28
  quarterback than it is for a pocket quarterback because you
• 1:25:30
  still got to, you still got to run, you still got to make
• 1:25:32
  moves. Stiff arm even just catching the
• 1:25:34
  snap too as a quarterback too, that's going to be hard.
• 1:25:36
  So hopefully. James, I feel bad for him.
• 1:25:38
  He's definitely on my fantasy. Team yeah, and Dan Quinn
• 1:25:40
  definitely deserves blame for leaving him in the game that
• 1:25:42
  long as far as as. You're going to blame Dan Quinn?
• 1:25:46
  Come on. Dan Quinn was trying to first of
• 1:25:50
  all, you go to your star quarterback and you say to your
• 1:25:52
  star quarterback, do you want to play?
• 1:25:54
  You want to continue playing? He's going to tell you yes, and
• 1:25:57
  he's competitive and you're not going to tell your competitive
• 1:26:00
  superstar, OK, I'm going to take you out of the game.
• 1:26:03
  He wants to, he believes. You are Errol.
• 1:26:05
  You got to tell the quarterback. Doesn't happen.
• 1:26:09
  We get in our own ways for that reason, Errol, like where we
• 1:26:13
  know we probably shouldn't, but as competitors we want to and we
• 1:26:17
  know better because then something like this happened.
• 1:26:20
  That's why coaches are there. The coach has to do that because
• 1:26:23
  the player won't, the player won't take themselves out if
• 1:26:26
  they're a real man. And that's the whole point.
• 1:26:29
  You know, like you got to have a coach who looks at the guy and
• 1:26:32
  be like, you know, I had to do this in the.
• 1:26:34
  House, How many times do you see it?
• 1:26:36
  How many times do you see it? It happens every so often.
• 1:26:39
  It happens every so often. It doesn't happen.
• 1:26:43
  It doesn't happen when you're a competitor.
• 1:26:45
  If you don't take him out and and you're going to blame Dan
• 1:26:47
  Quinn, take. Him out.
• 1:26:49
  It happens every. Game I I it.
• 1:26:51
  Happens every time the game is out of hand.
• 1:26:53
  You got to take out the starters.
• 1:26:54
  I usually don't see that in unless the game it like the last
• 1:26:58
  two minutes of the game. It was 10 minutes left of the
• 1:27:01
  game. I mean, he's not going to pull
• 1:27:03
  him out. He's 38 to 7.
• 1:27:04
  It doesn't matter. He's not going to pull him out
• 1:27:06
  of the game. Most, but most coaches.
• 1:27:09
  He disagreed with himself. He said that he's screwed up.
• 1:27:12
  Yeah, well, he's, that's what he says now, but I don't think he
• 1:27:15
  would have changed it at any point if he if it were, if he
• 1:27:19
  were to go back and do it again, he'd still do it the same way.
• 1:27:22
  I really. Do transitioning to the Seahawks
• 1:27:24
  now. Fish, I'll give you credit, you
• 1:27:25
  were this is one of your playoff teams At the beginning of the
• 1:27:27
  year. I was worried about them because
• 1:27:28
  there's a lot of new pieces all at once in that new offensive
• 1:27:31
  coordinator when they strangely fired their one last year.
• 1:27:33
  But and Donald's comfortable with Clint Kubiak.
• 1:27:35
  He was in San Francisco with him and you were seeing the results
• 1:27:37
  are like you're saying, Sam Donald's been one of the best
• 1:27:39
  quarterbacks in the NFL. That doesn't really get talked
• 1:27:41
  about as much as he should. And should be a jet.
• 1:27:43
  And that defensive line for Seattle's actually played very
• 1:27:46
  well too. Actually, they're one of the top
• 1:27:47
  five highest quarterback win rates in the NFL.
• 1:27:51
  That was a concern for me going in the year they're secondary.
• 1:27:53
  I agree with you. I will still kind of question
• 1:27:54
  marks there, but this is a really good team.
• 1:27:56
  Shut the music. I want to say something and this
• 1:27:59
  goes back to The Jets organization and I'm upset about
• 1:28:02
  it. And I'm going to say it quickly
• 1:28:03
  because we got a lot more to do and we have to go to a sports
• 1:28:06
  minute. When I watch Sam Donald do what
• 1:28:09
  he's doing right now, it makes me sick.
• 1:28:11
  It really, sincerely makes me sick because I said it when The
• 1:28:16
  Jets decided to move him for a second and a fourth, I said this
• 1:28:19
  is a big mistake. I think Joe Douglas should have
• 1:28:22
  held on to him. He was 23 years old, 22, going
• 1:28:26
  to be 23. He was a kid.
• 1:28:28
  He was the youngest quarterback drafted in NFL history.
• 1:28:32
  And to let this kid go the way they did and he went to
• 1:28:36
  Carolina, he didn't succeed, but he just needed a spot where he
• 1:28:39
  felt comfortable with an offensive coordinator was going
• 1:28:41
  to let him be himself. You see the opportunity that he
• 1:28:46
  is starting to bring to the table for all the teams that he
• 1:28:50
  played for, Minnesota and now Seattle.
• 1:28:52
  I'm sick. I'm sick to my stomach.
• 1:28:54
  I've nothing else to say about that.
• 1:28:57
  So wasn't Darnold there in Carolina with Baker Mayfield?
• 1:29:01
  Too. Yes, he was.
• 1:29:02
  He started over. Baker, are you more sick to your
• 1:29:04
  stomach than I am about Daniel Jones?
• 1:29:07
  No, you should be sick. You don't think so?
• 1:29:10
  I feel like, I feel like I'm not that sick.
• 1:29:13
  You should be sick. About Daniel.
• 1:29:14
  Jones, you should be sick. Because he was so bad with us.
• 1:29:18
  That's because the team never gave him weapons.
• 1:29:20
  They gave him nothing. But like, but to be fair, are
• 1:29:22
  they ever going to be able to give him weapons?
• 1:29:24
  This is an incompetent franchise.
• 1:29:26
  I'm kind of glad he's gone. I feel like Sam Darnold.
• 1:29:29
  They just didn't wait long enough.
• 1:29:30
  I'm just to let him develop. My stomach, man, six of my
• 1:29:33
  stomach watching this, man, it really bothers me.
• 1:29:37
  And, and, and if he wins a Super Bowl with Seattle at any point,
• 1:29:40
  it's going to make me sick. It's going to make me really.
• 1:29:42
  Now the real question Jabba, do you think Sam Darla Baker
• 1:29:45
  Mayfield turns their careers around because of Matt Rule and
• 1:29:47
  Carolina? I'm going to tell you this.
• 1:29:49
  Remember I said this, don't be surprised if Baker and Sam meet
• 1:29:53
  in the playoffs and it's a battle of quarterbacks and they
• 1:29:56
  both have something to prove for each other because they both
• 1:30:00
  played on the same team and Sam won the job and, and a lot of
• 1:30:03
  people and in Baker blames who there's a defensive coordinator
• 1:30:08
  that is coaching for the New York Jets right now is the
• 1:30:11
  reason why he blames him for not getting that starting position.
• 1:30:15
  So that's a whole nother story. Thank you to all the fans.

  He was a part, I remember, of the Sacramento Lakers series,
• 1:32:07
  Sacramento Spurs Series A. He has been a big part of the
• 1:32:12
  back end of the NBA. Why?
• 1:32:14
  The NBA is really trying to protect themselves with these
• 1:32:17
  betting scandals and I think he is.
• 1:32:20
  I'm going to get out some interesting information for all
• 1:32:24
  the fans that are into the NBA and sports betting.
• 1:32:28
  Why Tim Donaghy shouldn't be I wouldn't say he's not.
• 1:32:33
  He wasn't a problem, but he shouldn't be all to blame what
• 1:32:36
  the NBA is transitioned into. That's that's my opinion and I
• 1:32:39
  think Tim Donaghy is going to express his feelings towards
• 1:32:43
  towards the NBA when he comes on this show on Wednesday.
• 1:32:47
  So stay tuned and get ready for a great interview.
• 1:32:49
  We're very excited for this. This is something very, very big
• 1:32:53
  and he's been only on a couple of shows, a couple of marketing
• 1:32:57
  shows and for him to come on our show says a lot about what he
• 1:33:01
  thinks of us. So we really appreciate him for
• 1:33:04
  joining us on Wednesday. That's it.
• 1:33:07
  We'll talk to you Wednesday. Good night everybody.
