The METS have lost 11 in a row: Season over already? · NY's Sports Loud Mouth (VIDEO)

• 0:00
  The Mets lose their star player. They lose their star closer.
• 0:04
  The Mets are in a bad spot right now.

  I've never seen a Ranger team quick before the Olympics.
• 0:14
  We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he
• 0:17
  can't win the big game, Michael Jordan said.
• 0:19
  I played 82 games. You don't see the fun doing
• 0:22
  that, but Jack Hughes did after getting his team knocked out to
• 0:25
  play every single shift he got back in the game.

  you guys. From 7 to practically 11:00

• 3:24
  I want to say something. I went to the movies by myself
• 3:27
  himself. Britney did not want to go to
• 3:28
  the movies yesterday. She was tired.
• 3:31
  I I wanted to see the movie Beast.
• 3:33
  So if anybody hasn't seen the movie, it's only going to be in
• 3:37
  the movie theaters for this week.
• 3:38
  It's one of those movies that they don't stay in that long
• 3:41
  because it's a mixed martial arts movie.
• 3:43
  But I absolutely loved it. The storyline was great.
• 3:47
  It was perfect. If if you like mixed martial
• 3:50
  arts, you have to see it. Russell Crowe's in it and and
• 3:53
  the storyline was just I'm not going to tell you everything,
• 3:56
  but this guy was a world. He wasn't a world champion.
• 3:58
  He was one of the best middle weight, middle weight fighters
• 4:01
  in the world. You see it in the beginning of
• 4:03
  the movie and it just like transitions 10 years later.
• 4:06
  You don't know what happens until the movie moves forward
• 4:08
  and such a interesting story, a back into the story and and I'm
• 4:13
  I'm not going to give anything away, but go and check it out.
• 4:16
  And when it goes to video or streaming, stream the movie.
• 4:19
  It's called beast. It's sensational.
• 4:22
  I enjoyed it, but I, I'll tell you guys a funny story.
• 4:25
  So I ate stuffed shells before I went to the movie theater.
• 4:28
  I am lactose intolerant. So I went to the bathroom before
• 4:33
  I went to the movie theater. But I, I got to the movie
• 4:37
  theater and I go right inside and I'm like, damn, I have a
• 4:42
  really bad stomach ache. The movie starts in about 5-6
• 4:44
  minutes. So I go to the bath.
• 4:46
  So I I get my ticket I go to the bathroom.
• 4:48
  The bathroom is closed. One of the main bathrooms are
• 4:52
  closed. So I'm running around the
• 4:55
  building. I'm about to crap in my pants.
• 4:57
  I'm serious I was about to really let go it my stomach was
• 5:01
  growling. I finally find a bathroom and
• 5:04
  there's one stall. Now I don't like public
• 5:06
  bathrooms. I do not like going to the
• 5:08
  bathroom in public bathrooms. I have this thing this skeeved
• 5:12
  thing. So I go to the bathroom.
• 5:15
  All right, I'm sitting there now there's no lock on the door.
• 5:18
  There's no lock. So I'm pushing it close and I'm
• 5:22
  praying to God. So I'm going and I'm trying to
• 5:24
  sit down. I'm like sweating.
• 5:25
  I'm like, just just let's go, let's go.
• 5:28
  I got to get to the movie. All of a sudden these two guys
• 5:32
  come in and one guy walks right in when I'm taking a dump and
• 5:36
  I'm sitting there on the ball. Could you imagine the
• 5:38
  embarrassment? I'm sitting there and the guy's
• 5:40
  looking at me. He's like, oh, I was like oh
• 5:43
  close the damn door and all of a sudden there's a load of people
• 5:47
  lining up and I am just trying to get up and, and trying to get
• 5:52
  this stomach to relax so I can get up and go to the movie
• 5:55
  theater and and watch my movie. I was so embarrassed.
• 5:59
  Dude. I, I, I was so very embarrassed.
• 6:02
  I get up and I see like 7 people lining up to the stall and
• 6:06
  they're like, you OK? You OK?
• 6:07
  It's like, yeah, I'll tell you this.
• 6:09
  I cleaned, I cleaned where I was, but you do not want to go
• 6:13
  in there. That's all I said to him.
• 6:15
  I was like one of those Ace Ventura, do not go in there.
• 6:18
  Woo. You know, like that.
• 6:20
  So I, I walked right out. I would, I go to the I go to the
• 6:24
  movie theater and it's, there's not a lot of people in there.
• 6:26
  So the guy that walked in to my stall was sitting right in front
• 6:32
  of me with his girlfriend. He was so embarrassed,
• 6:35
  embarrassing because as soon as he sat down, his girlfriend was
• 6:37
  sitting right there. She looked back and smiled at
• 6:40
  me. So I know he was talking about
• 6:41
  me taking a dump and him walking in while I was taking a dump.
• 6:44
  It was embarrassing. All right, so I will tell you I
• 6:47
  don't do this. It's never happened before when
• 6:50
  somebody's walked in, but it that's why I don't go to public
• 6:52
  bathrooms because I'm afraid that there's no lock in the door
• 6:55
  and I got to take a dump and somebody's going to walk in on
• 6:57
  me. That's why I don't do it. 2
• 7:00
  That's what happened to me last night.
• 7:02
  I was embarrassed the whole movie because this girl kept
• 7:05
  looking back at me and I was like, OK, this I don't, I don't
• 7:09
  think this is funny, but whatever.
• 7:11
  But true story, ladies and gentlemen, do not go to the
• 7:14
  bathroom when there's no luck. I had to go because there was
• 7:16
  nowhere unless I was dumping in the sink because I've seen that.
• 7:20
  Anybody seen the movie Bridesmaids?
• 7:22
  They're they're trying to find and what's her name again?
• 7:24
  Is she, she takes a dump and they, they ate something messed
• 7:29
  up their stomach and they go into this like dress.
• 7:32
  There's a bridal dress place and and then they're they have to go
• 7:35
  and she's throwing up. One of them is throwing up.
• 7:37
  The other one has to take a dump.
• 7:38
  So she's sitting on a sink. That's the way I felt.
• 7:40
  If somebody was sitting on a stall and I had, I would have
• 7:42
  shit in a sink, a sink. Excuse my language, but that's
• 7:45
  what I would have done. I would have done that.
• 7:47
  That's how bad it was. I was that bad, ladies and
• 7:51
  gentlemen. You survived and made it out.
• 7:53
  Yeah, I did. I survived.
• 7:54
  I was very. I I thought that all the
• 7:56
  bathrooms closed. There it is.
• 7:59
  There it is, ladies and gentlemen.
• 8:00
  I don't know if it was that bad, but it wasn't that bad.
• 8:04
  I'm clean. I don't crap all over the.
• 8:07
  Place not clean if. You I'm clean and and by the
• 8:10
  way, I wasn't wearing. That Duke jersey.
• 8:12
  I was not wearing the Duke jersey.
• 8:15
  For all you fans out there, I wasn't.
• 8:17
  I'm wearing it tonight. I wouldn't make sense.
• 8:18
  I mean, it would be appropriate attire for that, OK.
• 8:21
  What, taking a dump with a Duke jersey?
• 8:23
  That doesn't make any sense it. Correlate very well.
• 8:26
  Yeah, it correlates. You're using speedies words now,
• 8:29
  so you're correlating away from what the whole story is all
• 8:32
  about. Anyways, let's get into the New
• 8:34
  York Mets, ladies and gentlemen, because the Mets are the big
• 8:37
  story right now in. New killing it.
• 8:39
  Yes, they're killing it all right.
• 8:40
  They're smelling up everything. There's dirty rats all over City
• 8:44
  Field and everywhere they've gone, and it's all about to
• 8:48
  completely fall flat on their face.
• 8:50
  It's already falling flat on their face.
• 8:52
  After being swept by the Cubs this weekend, the Mets have now
• 8:55
  lost 11 games in a row, their longest losing streak since
• 8:59
  2004. The Mets have only scored a
• 9:03
  combined nineteen runs in those eleven games, which is an
• 9:07
  average of 1.7 runs per game. The pitching wasn't much better
• 9:12
  as they had a team ERA of 6.25, allowing 62 total runs.
• 9:18
  Devin Williams suffered his first blown save as a Met in
• 9:22
  yesterday's game, allowing an RBI double from former Mets
• 9:26
  Michael Conforto. Oh, you love that Mets fans.
• 9:29
  Carlos Mendoza criticized the Mets effort in a A1 run game or
• 9:35
  in one run games and said that nobody should feel sorry for
• 9:39
  them the way they have lost. Both Devin Williams and
• 9:43
  Francisco Lindor defended Mendoza saying he is a good
• 9:47
  leader and not to blame for the players not performing.
• 9:52
  Only three teams in MLB history, yes have made it to the playoffs
• 9:57
  after an 11 game losing streak. The 1991 I'm sorry, the 1951
• 10:03
  Giants, the 199082 Braves, and the 2017 Dodgers.
• 10:09
  No team has ever made it with a 12 game losing streak.
• 10:15
  Well, well, well. How could we attack this for the
• 10:19
  New York Mets? Could I do it in a nice way or
• 10:22
  could I do it in a really, really bad way?
• 10:26
  Well. I'd do the nice.
• 10:27
  Way again. Why I I don't know if there's
• 10:29
  anything nice to say about this team right now, but their record
• 10:33
  right now, they're 7 and 15, seven and 15 right now.
• 10:39
  This is one of the best teams going into the season.
• 10:42
  Everybody thought the offense was going to be great.
• 10:44
  You added Beau Bichette, a guy that's won a batting title,
• 10:48
  moving him to third base. I told Met fans before the
• 10:51
  season started, Beau Boschett moving to third base.
• 10:54
  It's going to take him a while to figure out third base.
• 10:57
  It's going to throw him off and he's not going to hit as well as
• 11:00
  he was with the Blue Jays. Also, he's injury prone.
• 11:03
  And how is a guy that's injury prone the 4th or fifth highest
• 11:07
  paid player season by season in all of the MLB?
• 11:11
  It makes no sense. He's making more money a season
• 11:15
  than Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge, arguably the best
• 11:20
  player in the league. You can argue it's either him or
• 11:22
  Ohtani. This guy is making more than
• 11:26
  Aaron Judge. The run differential.
• 11:29
  Listen to this. They were.
• 11:30
  They have been outscored 62 to 1962 to 19.
• 11:36
  Think about that, Mets. Mets fans.
• 11:39
  They're averaging 1.7 runs per game.
• 11:43
  Their batting averages are about 200 and they've only had 17
• 11:52
  extra base hits. Think about that.
• 11:57
  It is horrible. You're played over 20 games and
• 12:01
  you only have 17 extra base hits.
• 12:04
  Polanco can't stay healthy. Bichette has been healthy.
• 12:08
  It's it's amazing that Bichette has been fairly healthy.
• 12:12
  Lindor has started off again horribly.
• 12:17
  They're pitching ERA right now. Their team pitching is 6.25 in
• 12:24
  this stretch, 6.25. That means they're averaging.
• 12:29
  They're giving up six runs or more a game, historically the
• 12:35
  longest losing streak since the 11 game skid in 2004.
• 12:40
  The Mets have had a lot of bad seasons.
• 12:42
  A lot. We could go back on the absolute
• 12:46
  falling apart of the New York Mets that happened last year and
• 12:51
  a couple of years before that. The Mets historically with the
• 12:56
  money their owner Uncle Stevie has spent, you would think
• 13:00
  you're you're talking about billions, billions of dollars
• 13:05
  their owner has spent in the last four to five years.
• 13:11
  To me, it defies nothing. And I don't care about the run
• 13:17
  differential, home runs, scoring.
• 13:21
  They got to find their way out of this and they get better,
• 13:23
  find their way out of this quick because it's not going to be
• 13:27
  what Mendoza, everybody says, well, fire Mendoza, fire
• 13:30
  Mendoza. It's not going to be all about
• 13:31
  Mendoza. It's going to be about David
• 13:33
  Stearns. The Mets fans that are sitting
• 13:35
  here today saying that David Stearns was going to change this
• 13:38
  team. He was going to make this team
• 13:40
  an elite team in the majors. What he did for Milwaukee, all
• 13:44
  the draft picks, he he drafted McClain, everybody.
• 13:48
  Oh, look at look at what Nolan Mcclain's doing.
• 13:51
  That's great. I can tell you a lot of GMs,
• 13:56
  Omar Minaya, he drafted Jacob degrom.
• 14:00
  Look at Jacob degrom right now. He's pitching very well with,
• 14:02
  with the with the Texas Rangers. It seems like every time a
• 14:08
  player leaves the New York Mets, they're a better team and a
• 14:11
  better player. They're playing for a better
• 14:13
  team and a better in there and they're a better player.
• 14:16
  Now. Pete Alonso is not hitting.
• 14:18
  Supposedly his bat speed has slowed down five points.
• 14:22
  That's great. I think Peter Alonzo will figure
• 14:24
  it out. But you talk about and everybody
• 14:29
  speaks about this team, that this team is going to make a run
• 14:32
  this year. Juan Soto, who, by the way, is
• 14:36
  not healthy. And everybody says when Juan
• 14:38
  Soto's come, when Soto comes back, they're going to be
• 14:40
  better. Oh my God, they're going to
• 14:42
  start hitting. Let me tell you guys something.
• 14:44
  He's a great hitter. One guy is not going to fix
• 14:47
  what's going on in this lineup. One guy cannot fix what's going
• 14:51
  on in this lineup. What I can tell you about Juan
• 14:55
  Soto is maybe he adds a little pizzazz in the dugout because
• 15:01
  there's none right now. Has anybody watched their games?
• 15:04
  Look at Lendor's face after the 5th inning.
• 15:07
  It looks like you don't want to be there.
• 15:09
  Beau Bichette doesn't even know where he is.
• 15:11
  He has his hat flipped around to the side.
• 15:14
  It looks like nobody wants to be there.
• 15:16
  Nobody. What are you going to blame?
• 15:18
  You're going to blame the manager for that?
• 15:20
  I don't care if Lindor is sticking up or any of these
• 15:22
  superstars are sticking up for Mendoza because Mendoza is going
• 15:28
  to be the first person at and they know who that second person
• 15:31
  is going to be out. It's not going to be the
• 15:32
  players. It's going to be David Stearns
• 15:36
  because he's the one who put this debacle together and it is
• 15:40
  a debacle. You could say whatever you want
• 15:42
  now. It's still early in the season.
• 15:44
  It is early from that fans. There's a lot of baseball left,
• 15:48
  a lot. But guess what?
• 15:51
  It could be really decent. It could be OK, it could be
• 15:56
  better or it could be really, really bad.
• 16:00
  And honestly, what I have seen with this team, it doesn't sell
• 16:04
  me that this team is going to be fixed after Soto comes back.
• 16:08
  It it isn't now. We've seen better teams figure
• 16:11
  it out after the All Star break. Met fans.
• 16:14
  If this team has to wait until the All Star break, they're
• 16:17
  done. The season's over.
• 16:18
  They might as well trade off pieces and figure out what who's
• 16:22
  going to be the GM and who's going to be the manager next
• 16:24
  year. It's rebuild after rebuild after
• 16:28
  rebuild. The Mets haven't won a World
• 16:29
  Series since 198686 guys. They've played in two World
• 16:35
  Series 2. Think about that 2 World Series
• 16:42
  since then. You know what happened?
• 16:46
  We can remember in 2000, who'd they lose against the New York
• 16:50
  Yankees. 1515 years later from that, who did they play?
• 16:57
  The Kansas City Royals. This is the problem, guys.
• 17:02
  And and I'm, I'm sitting here, I'm a Yankee fan.
• 17:04
  Everybody sits here and you're a Yankee fan.
• 17:06
  Yeah, I'm a Yankee fan. That's right.
• 17:08
  I'm a Yankee fan. But I'm gonna, I can tell you a
• 17:10
  lot of things about the Yankees, too.
• 17:11
  What I haven't liked with the New York Yankees, I don't care
• 17:15
  if they're a game out or half a game out of their division.
• 17:18
  It doesn't matter. The Yankees haven't looked good
• 17:20
  either, but they're not as bad as the Mets.
• 17:22
  And for all the Yankee fans out there that were slaying the the
• 17:27
  management, that they didn't make enough moves in the
• 17:29
  offseason for the Yankees, they're still finding a way to
• 17:32
  win. But the Mets, this team is much
• 17:36
  better than they're playing. They're much better.
• 17:39
  This line up is much better than their their numbers show.
• 17:43
  And I, I don't think Mendoza is as bad as everybody thinks he
• 17:47
  is. I don't blame management, the
• 17:49
  manager for that. I blame the one guy in the
• 17:53
  league that all the Mets fans absolutely adore.
• 17:56
  Uncle Stevie calls him a son, and that's David Stearns.
• 18:00
  This man decided to let Brandon Nimmo go.
• 18:05
  They traded him for Simeons. What has Simeons done this year?
• 18:10
  I don't care how creative a defender, multiple positions.
• 18:13
  Oh my God, this guy's been a Gold Glove his whole career.
• 18:16
  He can hit for average. The guy's 36, going to be 37.
• 18:22
  Your body breaks down. He's not as good as he was nine
• 18:26
  years ago. He's just not.
• 18:29
  And to trade him for Brandon, IMO.
• 18:31
  Who's the heart and soul of this team?
• 18:32
  Him and Pete Alonso with a heart and soul.
• 18:35
  You got rid of the two players that have pushed this team to
• 18:40
  that brink. When they made that run.
• 18:42
  Everybody keeps complimenting Lindor when they made that run
• 18:46
  all the way to the NLCS. Everybody remember that?
• 18:48
  Anybody remember that a couple of years ago?
• 18:52
  Oh, they're ahead of schedule. Oh my God, David Stern's first
• 18:55
  year, He looks wonderful. This team's great.
• 19:00
  The people that got in there is the personalities in that locker
• 19:04
  room, the Brandon Nimos, the Pete Alonzos.
• 19:13
  The leadership of this team is gone.
• 19:15
  Now you have two guys that are supposedly best friends in
• 19:21
  Francisco Lindor and want Soto. Now there's stories coming out
• 19:25
  that these guys don't like each other.
• 19:28
  They're not talking to each other.
• 19:30
  Now, what is that spell for Met fans that spells disaster?
• 19:34
  Absolute disaster if you're a Met fan.
• 19:38
  My argument here is if this team can't figure it out in the next
• 19:44
  15 games, it's either time to move on from Mendoza.
• 19:48
  But who you're going to bring in in the middle of the season,
• 19:50
  you're going to probably go and have to bring one of your
• 19:52
  managers. They're going to promote from
• 19:54
  within with John Gibbons, who last managed with the Blue Jays
• 19:56
  in like 2015. Oh, I'm sorry.
• 19:58
  We'll bring in John Gibbons. I, I remember him.
• 20:00
  He fell over there with the Blue Jays.
• 20:03
  There's nothing. There's nothing.
• 20:06
  There's nothing that spells anything that makes this team.
• 20:12
  Good or bad in the next 20 games that they're going to have to
• 20:15
  figure out where they're going to go, where they moving
• 20:18
  forward. And is it David Stearns?
• 20:20
  Do you want him? How about how about Mets fans,
• 20:23
  do you want David Stearns to be running this team all the way
• 20:27
  into the ground next year when he could strike here?
• 20:30
  This is the perfect time to get rid of David Stearns because
• 20:33
  you're probably going to miss half of the season, maybe 20
• 20:35
  games, 30 games. It depends on how the strike
• 20:37
  works out. You, you decide to move from
• 20:40
  David Sterns, you have a more than enough time because you
• 20:43
  might miss 1/4 of the season. You bring in a a better,
• 20:46
  younger, smarter guy from another organization.
• 20:49
  How about go after a guy from the Dodgers?
• 20:52
  How about that? Because the Dodgers are an
• 20:54
  organization. Yes, they're deferred.
• 20:57
  They're all about deferred money and they're all about bringing
• 20:59
  in old players in. But look at the youngsters.
• 21:02
  Look at the younger players that they've called up.
• 21:05
  And I'm going to tell you this, the older players are not
• 21:07
  hitting. Oh, Tony's not hitting.
• 21:09
  Friedman's not hitting. Bets is not hitting.
• 21:12
  They have guys that are coming up.
• 21:14
  The young guys are hitting in this line up for the Dodgers, so
• 21:18
  they must be doing something right in their farm system.
• 21:20
  The Mets call up guys and they just look like a disaster.
• 21:24
  I'm I'm like taking shots at Benj.
• 21:26
  I'm not putting my, I'm not putting all, all my money on
• 21:30
  these youngsters, but everybody was so giddy about Nolan McLean.
• 21:35
  Nolan, we might not see the best of Nolan McLean because nobody's
• 21:38
  hidden behind them. This is the same thing that
• 21:41
  happened with Jacob degrom. Jacob degrom is one of the, he
• 21:46
  was one of the best pitchers in the world.
• 21:49
  One of he wants Cy Young's and he had a losing record.
• 21:55
  His ERA was the best in the league.
• 21:56
  His WHIP was the best in the league because nobody on this
• 21:59
  team, nobody on this roster could hit you watch this team
• 22:04
  now. I, I, I don't know what to
• 22:05
  think. I, I don't, I, I'm bored.
• 22:08
  I can't even sit here and watch it.
• 22:11
  It makes me sick. It makes me sick.
• 22:14
  I'm not a Met fan, but I'm a I'm a New Yorker and with good
• 22:18
  sports, with these guys are playing at a high level.
• 22:22
  We have something good to talk about for the Met fans.
• 22:24
  They sit here, but nobody's going to beat around the Bush.
• 22:26
  No Met fan, no Mets podcast or Mets show is going to tell me.
• 22:30
  Well, we'll figure it out. We're gonna figure it out.
• 22:33
  We got. Early Francisco early in the
• 22:35
  season. Yes, you, but.
• 22:36
  Historical stats that don't help the cause Qi.
• 22:39
  Know but but we got some positive.
• 22:43
  Here's a, here's a. Here's a big.
• 22:45
  Here's a big negative. We just can't finish.
• 22:48
  We're not finishing. That's.
• 22:49
  Three out of three out of 26 players are playing well.
• 22:51
  Here's Here's great odds for you.
• 22:54
  Here's great odds for you right now.
• 22:56
  Playoff odds right now dropped from 79.5% to 41.3% as of Monday
• 23:05
  morning. Think about that.
• 23:07
  They were over 70%, almost 80% going into the season and now
• 23:13
  they have dropped under 50% big time.
• 23:16
  Think about that. You, you want to say, well, it's
• 23:19
  only been this amount of games? Yeah, it's only been this amount
• 23:21
  of games. What is it going to take?
• 23:22
  This is going to be a ghost town.
• 23:24
  Sydney Field is going to be a ghost town.
• 23:26
  They're going to be selling tickets for 20 bucks.
• 23:29
  Now they're giving away tickets, yeah.
• 23:31
  Yeah, they're giving away tickets and Steve Cohen.
• 23:33
  But they're not showing back in or the concessions.
• 23:35
  Everybody knows that and. Steve Cohen is already mad at
• 23:37
  some season ticket holders and ticket winners for not going to
• 23:40
  games already when they were at barely over 500.
• 23:43
  You think they're going to think that way when they're now 11
• 23:46
  losses in a row? Once they get back on this
• 23:47
  little run that they come out of this slump, they get on a little
• 23:50
  run, City Field will be filled back up again.
• 23:53
  Yeah, you're going to have to rely on you're going to have to
• 23:57
  rely on probably two of those kinds of runs to get back into
• 24:00
  the where you're supposed to be at the beginning of the year
• 24:02
  because you have a bunch of guys that are not hitting at all.
• 24:05
  And that's what happens when you don't have an obvious plan.
• 24:08
  If you knew like the previous offseason, like there wasn't out
• 24:12
  of the belief Pete Alonso was going to come back with the Mets
• 24:14
  and the Mets signed him at the very last second, they they had
• 24:18
  actually better plan B's with Christian Walker at the time
• 24:21
  that came off a Goodyear with the Diamondbacks.
• 24:22
  He had Josh are available Arizona traded for him instead.
• 24:25
  Those are the good Plan B's. Let's see what Plan B was for
• 24:27
  the Mets after the Los Petalonzo Jorge Polanco, a streaky utility
• 24:31
  guy throughout his career who, by the way, is now hurt
• 24:33
  wonderful. So now that's your plan to spill
• 24:36
  anything. Now you you get you trade Nimmo
• 24:39
  for Simeon when you're already targeting Boba Shet and you're
• 24:43
  already targeting Polanco and now you have a cluster of
• 24:46
  infielders and no outfielders. So you have to trade for Louise
• 24:50
  Robert at the last second. That moves been fine.
• 24:51
  All right, fine. It's still not a good process.
• 24:55
  That's not a good process though.
• 24:56
  And again, I was encouraged at the time when they brought in
• 24:58
  Stearns because it's like, OK, the Mets need a middle market
• 25:01
  guy after Billy Eppler was trying to be the the Angels of
• 25:04
  2012 that got Albert Pools and Josh Hamilton and he was AGM for
• 25:07
  that. And they it looked like the Mets
• 25:08
  were doing the same thing when they brought in Scherzer, they
• 25:10
  brought in Marte, all these older guys and then obviously
• 25:13
  Verlander the next year. So I'm like, OK, David Stern's
• 25:16
  finally a middle ground for that.
• 25:17
  And again, it looked promising in the beginning and then trade
• 25:19
  all fell apart, the traded line last.
• 25:21
  Year. Think about this.
• 25:22
  Your two best players in your lineup right now, that is
• 25:25
  probably costing Steve Cohen, I would say about $80 million
• 25:31
  right now, a little bit less than that $80 million.
• 25:34
  Shortstop Francisco Lindor and Beau Bouchet combined have hit
• 25:38
  just 211 in 18 games. Think about that.
• 25:42
  You have two guys that are making over 80 million together,
• 25:46
  $80 million at your payroll this year and they're hitting 211.
• 25:51
  Early. Still early.
• 25:52
  Oh, OK. Yeah, it's still early with
• 25:54
  three, three, only three teams to make the playoffs.
• 25:57
  With that said, I don't. Read the.
• 25:58
  Stat. Yeah, let me give you the stat.
• 26:00
  I have it up here, Speedy. We talked about this earlier.
• 26:03
  Q You may say it's early, but in the history of the game of
• 26:07
  baseball, there are only four teams that have had double digit
• 26:11
  losing streaks in a regular season that have even made the
• 26:15
  playoffs. The 1951 New York Giants, they
• 26:19
  didn't play football. They they won the NL Pennant.
• 26:22
  None of them were in the World Series.
• 26:23
  The 82 Braves lost in the NLCS. The 2017 Dodgers lost in the
• 26:30
  World Series to the cheating Astros.
• 26:33
  And it happened last year with the Guardians with A10 game
• 26:37
  losing streak. So it's happened twice in the
• 26:39
  last 10 years. So.
• 26:40
  Why not admit? That is.
• 26:42
  So why not the Mets? I'm just saying it's only
• 26:44
  happened four times in over 100 years of baseball.
• 26:47
  And history is made to be broken.
• 26:48
  That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying that they're
• 26:50
  going. To go with the.
• 26:52
  I'm just saying that they have a strong chance of still making
• 26:55
  the playoffs. 40. I know, I know, it sounds bad
• 26:59
  with 11 game loser streak. I understand that part.
• 27:03
  I think they come out of this slump and figure it out and
• 27:05
  manage the way to just either get very, very close or make the
• 27:09
  playoffs. You, you, you do realize, you do
• 27:11
  realize you're wearing a Yankees hat, right?
• 27:13
  You do realize that. So no Mets fan in their right
• 27:16
  mind is going to sit here and listen to you and say, oh, Q is
• 27:20
  telling us that, oh, it's still early in the season and the Mets
• 27:23
  are going to find their way out of this.
• 27:25
  As a Mets fan and I again, I do root for the Yankees.
• 27:28
  But as a broadcaster, when you do this long enough, as much as
• 27:32
  you root for your teams, you have to be honest about those
• 27:36
  teams. And honestly, right now, I don't
• 27:39
  like what the Yankees are doing. I don't like what the Mets are
• 27:42
  doing. But I can tell you this, the
• 27:43
  Yankees look like they'll find their way out of this because
• 27:46
  they've slowly but surely have found their way out of it after
• 27:50
  playing Kansas City. As bad as they are.
• 27:52
  And the Mets, no matter who they're playing, no matter how
• 27:54
  good or bad they are, the Mets have played up a lousy goose egg
• 27:58
  0. 0. Oh really?
• 28:03
  Did I just give you the numbers? Yeah, give me.
• 28:05
  Yeah, that's the total runs. I'm just.
• 28:07
  Saying they're losing by a lot of numbers. 2/1 was 21
• 28:10
  yesterday, right? 62 to 17 In this losing streak
• 28:15
  they scored seventeen runs. 17 runs in 11 games.
• 28:20
  Seventeen runs. Hey, Harold, before we finish
• 28:24
  talking about this team that's almost finished, can we talk
• 28:27
  about they should have won that game yesterday and Devin
• 28:30
  Williams blew it. And then in the extras, the
• 28:34
  manager decided not to put Nico Herner on first base to get the
• 28:39
  force and he gets the SAC fly to win the game.
• 28:42
  And a lot of people were like, why aren't you doing that?
• 28:45
  And he didn't have a great answer.
• 28:47
  What is Mendoza doing? I think he's completely lost.
• 28:51
  He doesn't know what to do. This team is falling right apart
• 28:55
  right in front of his face early in the season and he has no
• 28:58
  answers for any of the questions that the media is going to ask
• 29:00
  him. We've seen this before.
• 29:02
  Managers are completely lopsided with the questions because they
• 29:07
  have no answers for it. You look at Bob Bouchette.
• 29:10
  Is Bobouchette supposed to be hitting 23220 at this part of
• 29:14
  the season? This guy was a batting champion.
• 29:17
  This guy was one of the best hitters in the league.
• 29:19
  Think about that. And then Lindor, I mean, this
• 29:22
  guy, oh, this guy's our best player.
• 29:24
  Oh, we we're going to get rid of Pete Alonzo.
• 29:25
  We'll make this guy the captain. Oh, we're not making any
• 29:28
  captain. We don't need a captain here.
• 29:29
  Oh, yeah, it makes a lot of sense now.
• 29:31
  I mean, you're just showing where this team is going rudely
• 29:35
  when you sit back and you wonder why teams make captains.
• 29:39
  Look at Kansas City. Who's the captain of that team?
• 29:42
  Perez. Perez is their captain.
• 29:45
  Perez is their best player. He's their catcher.
• 29:48
  This guy now won WBC championship.
• 29:51
  This guy knows how to win every. He's won a World Series
• 29:54
  championship. Winners, Winners, ladies and
• 29:57
  gentlemen. Now everybody's going to say,
• 29:58
  well, Aaron Judge is not a winner.
• 30:00
  You're absolutely right. But here's what Aaron Judge is.
• 30:03
  Aaron Judge has won multiple MVPS.
• 30:05
  Aaron Judge is considered the best player or the second best
• 30:09
  player in all of the league. And when you look at that, when
• 30:12
  you're looking at a team and you're trying to build around
• 30:15
  something, you got something. Juan Soda, what has he won?
• 30:19
  He won a championship with as a youngster.
• 30:22
  As a youngster, he was the best player making that run.
• 30:24
  There's no question really. Well, yeah, but but here's the
• 30:27
  thing. Here's the thing.
• 30:28
  Ever since he's left that team, ever since that run, what has he
• 30:32
  done? He went to the Padres.
• 30:34
  He took a Padre team. They failed.
• 30:37
  Then he went to the Yankees. He helped the Yankees go to a
• 30:39
  World Series. They failed.
• 30:41
  Now he's with the Mets. The World Series is billion.
• 30:45
  Dude, it it doesn't matter because if you count, that's
• 30:49
  what. I'm saying if the goal is to
• 30:51
  get. You're making $68 million.
• 30:54
  You're the highest, you're the highest paid player right now
• 30:58
  without deferred money in all of the league and you have not done
• 31:04
  enough. Again, Most Valuable Player now
• 31:08
  Juan Soto came out and said, I want to come off this because we
• 31:10
  got a lot to get into. Juan Soto after the WBC said
• 31:16
  that he believes that Dominican Republic was the best team.
• 31:20
  They got eliminated by a team that was not better than they
• 31:23
  were. He went out there and he threw
• 31:25
  himself under the bus. And then after that, he said I'm
• 31:28
  I'm going out there this year and I'm going to win the MVP.
• 31:30
  I'm going to beat Otani out for that MVP award.
• 31:34
  That's what he said. I'm the best player in the
• 31:36
  National League and I'm going to prove it this.
• 31:37
  Year and then he gets hurt. And then he gets hurt.
• 31:40
  So as a Met fan, how are you going to ride or die with a guy
• 31:44
  that opens his mouth, throws himself onto the bus, and now
• 31:48
  his team's on 11 game losing streak and oh, but he's saying,
• 31:52
  and I'm sure this is what he's. When I get back into this line
• 31:54
  up, this line up is going to be much better.
• 31:56
  One player doesn't clean up this mess.
• 32:00
  It's a mess. And that's what I'm selling
• 32:02
  here. It is a mess.
• 32:04
  They can figure it out. There's no question but it two
• 32:08
  no matter how. Much some of those games, some
• 32:11
  of those 10 games, 2 four games could be a difference maker.
• 32:16
  They have to hit though, and it's harder.
• 32:19
  It's it's harder for A1 hitter to have a direct impact on an
• 32:22
  entire lineup when it's hard to control.
• 32:25
  Like where a three hitters are going to have an impact on A6
• 32:27
  hitter and A7 hitter because they don't have a direct
• 32:30
  compensation to that the same way they would in hockey or
• 32:32
  football. Let me ask you a question.
• 32:34
  You have kids, right? You have kids, right?
• 32:37
  So you know, Christmas comes around once a year and your kids
• 32:42
  are like, Santa's going to bring me this and Santa, oh, you
• 32:44
  better be good. You got to be good.
• 32:46
  If you're not good, ladies and gentlemen or kids, you're going
• 32:50
  to get call or whatever. Santa's not going to give you
• 32:52
  what you want, right? That's what you tell your kids
• 32:54
  right now. Whatever.
• 32:56
  I, I, I, I'm just, I'm just throwing, I'm, I'm spit balls at
• 33:00
  the wall and hopefully they stick.
• 33:01
  OK, Hopefully. All right, so let me ask you
• 33:04
  this question. When they become 13 and 14 years
• 33:09
  old, your sons, your daughter, they get older and then you want
• 33:15
  them to grow up and you have to go there and tell your kids
• 33:19
  Santa isn't real, OK? Santa's not real.
• 33:22
  I, I, me and Mommy. Me and mommy have been giving
• 33:25
  you gifts every single year since you were a kid.
• 33:28
  But I want, I want you to understand that we wanted you to
• 33:32
  believe. Believe.
• 33:33
  It's all about believing in something.
• 33:36
  Well, guess what? Santa's not coming here for the
• 33:39
  New York Mets. Because by the time Santa Claus
• 33:43
  in December's around the corner this season is over, Santa's
• 33:46
  going to be throwing them a nice lump of coal.
• 33:48
  Because right now, believing in this team is like believing or
• 33:52
  telling a kid that Santa is real.
• 33:55
  And if kids are watching this right now, Santa is real.
• 33:57
  Santa Joe, stop. Why would you lie to this?
• 34:00
  Kid, I mean. Just expose that they're going
• 34:02
  to go back and say no. Santa is real, I'm just trying
• 34:04
  to help out here. If it's worse than a lot of
• 34:06
  kids. So over under 78 wins this week
• 34:08
  this year. I still think they, I still
• 34:11
  think they're going to have about between 78 and 85 wins.
• 34:15
  I still think they're, they're, they're, they're there, they'll
• 34:18
  go on a streak, they'll, they'll find a way out of this.
• 34:21
  But I I don't think it's going to be with Mendoza and I still
• 34:24
  think David Stearns, if this team don't make the playoffs
• 34:26
  with the money that they have spent, he needs to go.
• 34:29
  He needs to go. And that that's the other
• 34:30
  problem you lie in because remember, they spent years in in
• 34:33
  Cohen's tenure as owner before that of like getting the last
• 34:37
  resort GMs for a while. They had the two that got into
• 34:39
  legal issues and they had to settle on Billy Eppler, but
• 34:41
  nobody wanted because of what he did with the Angels.
• 34:43
  And he had one. They had one playoff year with
• 34:45
  him. They lost in the first round of
• 34:47
  the playoffs, collapse of the division.
• 34:48
  And they had took a while to get Stearns and then they can't even
• 34:51
  get one. And the job is not even like as
• 34:53
  much as it should. Be all right.
• 34:54
  So we, we just went to the bad. Now we're going to go to
• 34:57
  something that maybe will make Giant fans happy.
• 35:00
  I I don't know. As Dexter Lawrence was traded
• 35:03
  over the weekend. Adam Schefter reports that the
• 35:06
  Giants yes, ladies and gentlemen, the New York Giants
• 35:10
  have traded all pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the
• 35:14
  Bengals for a #10 overall pick in this year's NFL draft.
• 35:20
  Schefner added that the Bengals have given Lawrence and an
• 35:25
  extension on his contract for one year and 28 million with a
• 35:30
  $10 million signing bonus that will be paid in the 2028 NFL
• 35:36
  season. Multiple NFL general managers
• 35:40
  believe that the Bengals were screwed if they kept the number
• 35:44
  10 overall pick, being there probably wouldn't be a lot of
• 35:49
  impactful defensive players available in that spot.
• 35:54
  ESP NS Jordan Ronan reports that the number 10 overall pick was
• 36:01
  the best offer the Giants were going to get for Lawrence before
• 36:06
  the draft. Reports say that Lawrence was
• 36:08
  frustrated in the previous years with Joe Shane, especially when
• 36:13
  they parted ways with both Leonard Williams in 2023 and
• 36:17
  Saquon Barkley in 2024, both of which were close friends of his.
• 36:23
  The Giants were reportedly willing to give him a raise from
• 36:28
  the 18,000,000 he was due this season, but Lawrence still felt
• 36:32
  that the Giants were being disrespectful in contract
• 36:36
  negotiations. Lawrence had 34341 tackles, 108
• 36:43
  pressures, 103 quarterback hits and 30.5 sacks in seven seasons
• 36:49
  with the Giants, mostly playing nose tackle.
• 36:55
  Well, all right, so Fish was jumping for joy because I came
• 37:00
  out and said that this team was not getting a first round draft
• 37:04
  pick. So if, if if no, I'm not, I'm
• 37:07
  not retracting. I'm going to give you I'm going
• 37:09
  to give you my take on this. Dexter Lawrence was not 100%
• 37:13
  healthy last year. He was not.
• 37:16
  Everybody knows he forced his way in that lineup because he
• 37:20
  wanted an extension. He wanted more money in the
• 37:22
  offseason because that signing bonus pretty really just paid
• 37:26
  off that big contract that the Giants signed a couple of years
• 37:29
  ago with him. So he wanted more money.
• 37:31
  He believed he is the best nose tackle in all of football, which
• 37:35
  he is. The numbers would tell you he
• 37:38
  is. Him and Jones are the two best
• 37:40
  and you have Quinton Williams, you have other guys that are
• 37:42
  right behind it, but this guy is the best at his position.
• 37:46
  No argument, said I I've said that this guy was their best
• 37:49
  player. So think about this.
• 37:52
  Joe Shane, since he's been here, has dropped Leonard Williams,
• 37:58
  who became an All Pro player with Seattle.
• 38:01
  This guy won a Super Bowl with Seattle and he was a big part of
• 38:04
  that. He dropped Saquon Barkley, who
• 38:08
  then almost broke Eric Dickerson's record and won a
• 38:11
  Super Bowl with the Eagles, and now he sends Lawrence to the
• 38:17
  Bengals, who their worst situation going into the
• 38:22
  offseason after losing Trey Hendrickson is.
• 38:24
  They need a leader on this defense and they bring the best
• 38:28
  nose tackle and all the football for the number 10 pick.
• 38:31
  That doesn't guarantee them anything.
• 38:34
  Nothing. It does.
• 38:37
  No, it doesn't, because I could go through.
• 38:39
  I could go through. Think about this.
• 38:41
  If you look at in the last 10 years, the 5th pick in the 10th
• 38:45
  pick, tell me how many one of those players became superstars.
• 38:50
  Tell me that if you look at. Because I say, yeah, you go,
• 38:54
  this is what you do. I'm you go all the way to the
• 38:56
  top. Let hold on.
• 38:57
  Let me finish. Let me finish, I'll let you
• 38:59
  take, I'll let you give your take and you can wipe your ass
• 39:02
  with it. I get care less.
• 39:05
  Stay off the toilet. Listen, I've I've been on a
• 39:07
  toilet all day, so that those, those that, that cheese last
• 39:12
  night really made me raunchy, but that's a whole another
• 39:15
  thing. But.
• 39:15
  Don't squeeze the cheese like. I did.
• 39:17
  I did. I squeezed the cheese last night
• 39:19
  and I almost got embarrassed doing it.
• 39:21
  Anyways, my thought here is you have a new coach here, John
• 39:27
  Harbaugh. They have this kid who everybody
• 39:31
  keeps talking about, Sonny Styles.
• 39:33
  I love this kid. He could be Ray Lewis.
• 39:36
  Everybody could be Ray Lewis. But there has been no Ray Lewis
• 39:40
  ever in this league since he's left.
• 39:42
  Just just throwing that out there for you guys.
• 39:45
  But John Horrible wasn't the guy.
• 39:46
  He wasn't the coach when Ray Lewis was drafted.
• 39:50
  He wasn't the coach when Ed Reed was drafted.
• 39:53
  So now we're hearing, wow, the New York Giants can get Sonny
• 39:57
  Styles and this kid Downs and they can get their safety in the
• 40:00
  future and they can get their linebacker, their leader of
• 40:03
  their defense. And this team could be explosive
• 40:06
  defensively. They were explosive defensively
• 40:09
  last year. Dexter Lawrence wasn't 100%
• 40:11
  healthy and he was still getting triple team.
• 40:14
  If you look at the pressures, if you look at what Dexter Lawrence
• 40:16
  was taking, not healthy last year.
• 40:19
  He was defending off offensive lineman.
• 40:21
  There are 2 * 3 players at sometimes.
• 40:24
  Watch the games, watch the games, watch the clips.
• 40:27
  I did and he wasn't healthy. He had one arm.
• 40:30
  He was using one arm last year. Think about that.
• 40:34
  And now he's going into a season where he's 100% healthy.
• 40:38
  He's 27 years old, he's in the prime of his career, and you're
• 40:41
  going to tell me that Dexter Lawrence isn't going to figure
• 40:44
  things out? You guys are out of your friggin
• 40:48
  minds, Giant fans. If you're going to sit here
• 40:50
  today and tell me right now that you are happy Dexter Lawrence is
• 40:56
  not here this year for your team, they should have fired Joe
• 40:59
  Shane. They should have fired that Pee
• 41:02
  Wee. That man has ruined this
• 41:04
  organization. He hasn't made this organization
• 41:07
  better. He's traded away or he's let go
• 41:10
  of pieces that have helped other teams win championships, big
• 41:15
  parts of those championships. And but Joe Shea knows better.
• 41:20
  Joe Shea knows how to dance around.
• 41:22
  He's got John Mayer and Steve Tish who hangs out at Epstein
• 41:25
  Island. You know, he's got two people
• 41:28
  that don't know what they're doing anymore.
• 41:30
  They really don't. They should have never fired Tom
• 41:34
  Coughlin. I'll go back at it again.
• 41:36
  And now, ladies and gentlemen, which is going to be, I'm not
• 41:39
  going to mention what I really want to say, but I'm going to
• 41:41
  throw it at you for my my other segment, which is coming up in
• 41:47
  just a few moments. And I, I, I'll, I'll tell you
• 41:50
  this. You're going to like what my
• 41:52
  golf club's going to be because it's definitely funny for all
• 41:55
  you Giant fans. I'm not going to mention it
• 41:57
  because Fish is like you're going to ruin the Golf Club.
• 42:02
  I'm sorry guys. And you can you can ask any
• 42:06
  analysts and analysts are coming out and saying, well, the Giants
• 42:09
  won this. You don't know who they're
• 42:11
  drafting. You don't know what these guys
• 42:14
  are going to be. And I'm sorry.
• 42:16
  I don't care what he's done. I don't care what his draft
• 42:18
  picks are done. In the last two years, I have
• 42:20
  seen two players that he has let go, Williams and Barkley, that
• 42:26
  have left this organization and we're all pro players.
• 42:30
  They were the best players at their positions and won Super
• 42:33
  Bowls ever since they left the New York Giants.
• 42:38
  That ladies and gentlemen, will tell me one thing.
• 42:41
  This Dexter Lawrence trade is going to be an absolute debacle,
• 42:46
  debacle for you Giant fans. And you want to sit here and
• 42:49
  say, well, this guy, we give him five years, he'll figure things
• 42:51
  out. Then we got to pay him.
• 42:52
  I, I let's ask Joe Shane what he did at the cornerback position.
• 42:57
  What's he done at the quarterback position?
• 43:00
  I would love to hear it. Let's hear it.
• 43:03
  Bringing in free agents. Oh, adding other bad players to
• 43:06
  my roster? Please.
• 43:09
  There is nothing that he has done for this organization.
• 43:12
  Oh, he added Jackson Dart. We don't even know what Jackson
• 43:15
  Dart is. We don't even know what he is.
• 43:20
  You know you got a glimpse. You can't say you don't know
• 43:22
  what he. Is we don't the guy you got a
• 43:24
  glimpse the guy wait a second, a glimpse.
• 43:26
  He is a running quarterback that is not sliding right And he
• 43:30
  could be on the he could be on the IL before you know it.
• 43:33
  This guy's going to get killed. He's he's Mark Sanchez ask.
• 43:36
  Maybe they should bring in Aaron Boone to teach him how to slide.
• 43:40
  Where you go to AFC Championship?
• 43:42
  Oh stop stop this. And every Giant fan said this
• 43:45
  guy was going to rin rookie of the year, which he wasn't.
• 43:48
  He wasn't. He wasn't the best rookie.
• 43:51
  Guys stop. He's better than Ward.
• 43:54
  Ward had nothing on Tennessee, no offensive line, no running
• 43:58
  game, no nothing. And now Robert Saul is not
• 44:02
  anything good. I'll tell you that Bambi is is
• 44:05
  definitely going to choke over there with Dabel.
• 44:06
  But I think Dabel will help Ward develop as a quarterback because
• 44:09
  he is one of those guys that I would say is somewhat of a
• 44:12
  quarterback whisperer. Don't worry, they also got $22
• 44:15
  million a year. Wandale Robinson.
• 44:17
  Oh, that's even better. Thank you for The Jets not
• 44:19
  making that move. I was very happy about that
• 44:21
  because I was listening and I was hearing some of the all
• 44:25
  these Grapevine things from these analysts in these
• 44:27
  podcasts. Oh my God, they're interested in
• 44:30
  Robinson. What do you think?
• 44:32
  I'll tell you what I think the fact here is for you Giant fans,
• 44:38
  I really hope that your number 5 pick and your number 10 pick is
• 44:43
  a slam dunk. But I'm, I'm throwing and I'm
• 44:46
  giving you a fair warning here. If anybody believes that Joe
• 44:51
  Shane is going to get this right, you, my friends and all
• 44:56
  you Giant fans are sadly, sadly mistaken because I don't trust
• 45:01
  that guy at all. He should be gone.
• 45:04
  Dexter Lauren should be here. I would be pissed off.
• 45:07
  That's my best player. He is my best player.
• 45:10
  Saquon was my best player. Williams was my third best
• 45:13
  player. You traded your three best
• 45:16
  players for garbage. Garbage.
• 45:20
  And I'm going to tell you this. First round draft picks mean
• 45:23
  nothing because if you've watched the NFL draft, we've
• 45:26
  seen this many, many times. You usually look at your draft
• 45:30
  and you look at what you do in the 3rd and 4th and 5th rounds.
• 45:34
  That's when you really consider that draft to be great.
• 45:38
  And if you think 2 first round draft picks mean that this is a
• 45:43
  slam dunk for the New York Giants and John Harbaugh, I'm
• 45:48
  going to have some breakfasts on Sunday laughing all the way to
• 45:53
  the game. And, and, and really, yeah, I
• 45:56
  like my breakfast. I like my waffles, my French
• 45:58
  toast. I mean, I'm a breakfast guy.
• 46:00
  I like, I like my breakfast because I'm not going to be if
• 46:03
  I'm a Giant fan, I'm not going to eat dinner after the games
• 46:05
  because watching Dexter Lawrence become an All Pro player again
• 46:09
  this year with the Bengals and helping the Bengals go all the
• 46:11
  way to a Super Bowl, because I'm going to tell you this right
• 46:13
  now. This.
• 46:14
  Would be this would be this would be an absolute drive.
• 46:18
  Could you imagine this that Dexter Lawrence in the next two
• 46:21
  years wins a Super Bowl with the Bengals?
• 46:23
  Then you have three guys, three guys that Joe friggin Shane has
• 46:28
  let go and go to other teams, become All Pro Players and
• 46:33
  become elite by winning a World World Series, winning a Super
• 46:38
  Bowl championship. But again, this is a microcosm
• 46:42
  of player relationship issues that we've seen with other GMs
• 46:45
  too, that Joe Shane tries to operate.
• 46:48
  He came from the Bills. They were successful over there
• 46:50
  when he was the assistant GM, not the main GM of Brandon Bean.
• 46:53
  So they try to operate the same way, which you can get away with
• 46:56
  if you're the Bills, which you can get away with if you're the
• 46:58
  Chiefs. Getting rid of Tyree Kill after
• 47:00
  they lose in the AFC championship game, getting rid
• 47:02
  of Trent Mcduffey this year after they miss the playoffs.
• 47:04
  You can get away with that, but if you're a stable organization
• 47:06
  like that, the Giants can't afford to get so cute like that
• 47:09
  the way they did. I didn't realize even send back
• 47:11
  to 2024 like that. In 2023 was when they made
• 47:14
  Leonard Williams straight at the time, which obviously had a bad
• 47:16
  year after he signed the contract, but he had a good year
• 47:18
  the year before. Like you said, since you've gone
• 47:20
  to Seattle, good Brenda, they've had other good defensive
• 47:23
  players, but he played very well over there.
• 47:25
  And then Saquon Barkley, that was rock bottom if you were, if
• 47:27
  you're a Giants fan in 2024 with them winning a Super Bowl and
• 47:31
  the Giants going 3 and 14. So Joe Shane is not the guy for
• 47:34
  player relationship issues whatsoever.
• 47:36
  You're right. He.
• 47:36
  Should have fired. After the Saquon year.
• 47:39
  On the tree, that's what I would be singing.
• 47:42
  To all the Giant fans after this draft, you are you.
• 47:47
  Are finding a way to turn an obvious win win into something.
• 47:51
  Oh, an obvious win. Harold, of course, the draft is
• 47:55
  a crapshoot, but if you draft in the top ten, you got a 70%
• 47:59
  historical chance of hitting on that pick, really with a good
• 48:02
  35% chance of becoming an all pro at some point in his career.
• 48:06
  If you get later picks or you have second round, you have a
• 48:08
  lower percent chance. So when you're playing cards,
• 48:11
  you want to have better cards in your hand, just like you want to
• 48:14
  have better draft. Picks.
• 48:15
  Yeah. What's the Joe Shane percentage?
• 48:16
  Evan Neil. Joe, Shane.
• 48:18
  Look, Chris Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker.
• 48:21
  He was a terrible poker player. A blind squirrel finds a nut
• 48:24
  twice. You know the clock is wrong.
• 48:26
  You know you can find the right time twice a day.
• 48:30
  You know what? Maybe Joe Shane probably, and I
• 48:32
  would have bet his last draft because I don't know if he stays
• 48:35
  with the team after the draft, but he gets to stay for this 15
• 48:39
  and 10, Woolworth 5 and dime. Look at Joey, Joey Woolworth
• 48:43
  here getting picks five and five and dime for the draft.
• 48:47
  But doesn't it make a lot of sense that the Bengals are the
• 48:50
  stupid organization that trades this?
• 48:52
  We they wouldn't pay Trey Hendrickson, right?
• 48:57
  And now they are extending Dexter Lawrence, giving him
• 49:00
  guaranteed money when they did not have to do that and gave up
• 49:04
  draft capital that no other team in the league was willing to go
• 49:07
  near. So if no one else was willing to
• 49:10
  give a first round pick, how do you get the 10th pick overall?
• 49:13
  But again, the the Bengals were kind of stuck in a weird dilemma
• 49:16
  because they they're they need to edge rushing held badly.
• 49:18
  You're going to chance Ruben Bay in A10 with the the off field
• 49:21
  issues with the short arms, because Bailey's probably not
• 49:23
  going to be there. Caleb Downs probably wouldn't
• 49:25
  have been been there for them. Like that's the other option
• 49:27
  you're looking at. Then you are you could you could
• 49:29
  trade back I guess, But still like you're the impact player is
• 49:32
  Dexter Lawrence for that team to make a spark to the rest of that
• 49:36
  offensive line, that defensive line they signed Boy Mafia from
• 49:39
  the Seahawks in. The offseason, right?
• 49:40
  Yeah, he's a bit. He's a he's a good edge.
• 49:43
  He's good. Yeah, my face good Jonathan
• 49:45
  Allen was is another detector that they they gave him two year
• 49:48
  deal as well. So they had defensive issues
• 49:50
  their whole. Not anymore.
• 49:53
  It's all about defense. That's all they had.
• 49:55
  Not anymore. All the offense in the world
• 49:56
  with no defensive pressure. Not so cute anymore.
• 49:59
  I got, I got something I think breaks Errol's thing here.
• 50:03
  Oh, what's it saying that the Bengals are gonna be?
• 50:05
  Here comes, here comes the giant fan.
• 50:06
  Here we go. Let's hear it.
• 50:08
  Dexter Lawrence gets double team 71% of the time.
• 50:11
  That's absurd. It's it's the most I think
• 50:15
  anywhere. It might him or the guy on
• 50:17
  Tennessee, I forget his name right now.
• 50:18
  Who's the great deep? Deep.
• 50:19
  Yeah, Simmons is great too, right?
• 50:21
  Those are the two guys. But Lawrence's numbers dropped
• 50:24
  off huge last year. He only had a half a sack.
• 50:27
  I know you can say he was. He was hurt.
• 50:29
  He was playing with. One arm, not the whole season.
• 50:31
  He was not the whole season. Yes, he was.
• 50:33
  He got hurt in the second game of the season.
• 50:36
  He. Was hurt Thibodeau's career?
• 50:38
  He was hurt in the second game of the season.
• 50:41
  That's, well, that's my point, right?
• 50:43
  You free up guys like Abdul Carter when you have him on the
• 50:46
  field. You free up Thibodeau to do his,
• 50:50
  you know. Yeah, that's that's.
• 50:51
  Our great G, our great DC last year, Shane Bowen, he, he wasn't
• 50:54
  much better. Right.
• 50:56
  But here's the thing. You need other guys, right?
• 50:59
  The Bengals need other guys to take advantage of Dexter.
• 51:02
  And if Dexter's pass rush win rate dropped by 5 like from like
• 51:08
  it fell to 7.85% from 13.25% the year before, that means you are
• 51:15
  no longer that good compared to how you were.
• 51:17
  Something happened to you that. Well look, it could have been
• 51:20
  his attitude because if they didn't pay him because of Joe
• 51:22
  Shane, I agree with you. It could have been the fact he
• 51:25
  had no guaranteed money. It could have been the fact he
• 51:26
  was playing hurt and he's been mad all these years and maybe
• 51:29
  he'll have a chip on his shoulder.
• 51:30
  You bet he probably will this year, but he's getting older.
• 51:35
  Yeah, but he but he. Still you want.
• 51:37
  To pay that guy you want. 27 speed position, you were worried
• 51:42
  about that? Stop, stop, stop, stop it.
• 51:45
  Or get a guy on a rookie contract at #10 and get him for
• 51:50
  five years who might be an All Star now.
• 51:52
  Oh my. And for the next 6 years instead
• 51:54
  of maybe get one or two more good years out of Dexter.
• 51:57
  It was maybe what 1D tackle death project in the first
• 52:00
  round. Well, I don't think it's D
• 52:01
  tackle, I'm just saying. Right.
• 52:03
  But then. You're not to get D tackle at 10
• 52:05
  now. The team tackle's going to go in
• 52:06
  the second round. We'll talk about that when we
• 52:08
  get to the draft late after the cast.
• 52:10
  Yeah. For sure, and the Giants have
• 52:13
  things they can do, but it this is a win for Joe Shane.
• 52:17
  Well, it's a win for Cincinnati until the draft, then we'll be
• 52:21
  able to dictate whether or not this was a win or not, right?
• 52:24
  So Congrats to Lawrence for getting his money.
• 52:26
  The reason why he left the Giants was because they didn't
• 52:28
  give him no guaranteed money. And you don't want to go out
• 52:31
  there and play with no guaranteed money where you don't
• 52:33
  have that extra cushion in regards to an event that
• 52:36
  something you hurt. So you play hurt last year, no
• 52:39
  guaranteed money. They can cut you or release you
• 52:41
  at any point. So that's one reason why I would
• 52:43
  say that he made a decision that, listen, if you guys ain't
• 52:46
  gonna give me an increase in my guaranteed money that I'm going
• 52:49
  to just go elsewhere, which he actually went to a good
• 52:52
  promising location in Cincinnati because they had all the offense
• 52:55
  in the world. They got a defensive line with
• 52:57
  Jonathan and and mafia over there.
• 52:59
  So they they pretty much set now it's up to the Giants in this
• 53:03
  draft to decide whether or not they're going to make the right
• 53:06
  decision and picking the right player.
• 53:08
  So I think they take love and then I think if they can get
• 53:11
  Sonny, I don't know if he'll be there, but they're going to have
• 53:13
  to fulfill that D type of spot immediately in the second round.
• 53:16
  And I think you one second round pick, so you might have to
• 53:19
  figure out how to trade up and kind of get some guys in there.
• 53:22
  Look at Miami, look at a Philly, you know, somebody who got
• 53:26
  already pretty much established in that position and then move
• 53:29
  forward. The Giants and Eagles would
• 53:34
  never trade it with each. Other I know they would never
• 53:35
  trade, but I'm just saying like those guys that's already pretty
• 53:38
  much Seattle, you know, somebody that I can't think of all the
• 53:41
  teams that's ahead of them in the second round, but somebody
• 53:44
  who. Maybe they'll trade with the
• 53:45
  Bills. It looks shade they'll trade
• 53:46
  with us. For it looks like the Patriots
• 53:48
  are getting a wide receiver. A.J.
• 53:49
  Brown looks like he's going to be trading.
• 53:51
  Says that's going to be a post June one thing because of the
• 53:54
  contract. But for them, they need a wide
• 53:55
  receiver. That makes sense.
• 53:57
  That certainly makes sense. Everybody pulls Stefan.
• 54:02
  I don't know if Stefan Diggs wants to be back.
• 54:04
  I think after all that, I don't think they want.
• 54:06
  Routed Stefan Diggs together what could possibly.
• 54:09
  Be be on fire. I'm sorry, they're not doing it
• 54:12
  in Vegas. I'm sorry if you're a giant fan
• 54:15
  today, you cannot be happy that your best play.
• 54:17
  No, no, no, no. Optimistic.
• 54:19
  You can't say it can't be. Not happy.
• 54:22
  I haven't been happy as a Giants fan in 15 years.
• 54:25
  Stop. Stop complaining.
• 54:26
  I haven't been happy as a fan 15 years ago.
• 54:29
  I haven't been a happy Jet fan. I wasn't even alive when I
• 54:31
  should be a happy Jet fan because it was in 19. 60 you
• 54:34
  happy this year? I told you we go.
• 54:35
  Stop with this. Stop with this.
• 54:37
  They're not just playing the playoff party.
• 54:40
  Stop, stop, stop. I'll tell you what it does for
• 54:42
  the Giants though. Oh, God, It opens up cap room,
• 54:46
  Let's face it, $13 million of cap room because they trade
• 54:49
  Dexter Lawrence. Now they have that if they move
• 54:51
  Thibodeau, which they're talking about a third.
• 54:54
  If they don't get a third, it'll.
• 54:55
  Probably not getting a third for Devon Thibodeau.
• 54:57
  Well, you said they weren't getting a first.
• 55:00
  For they're not, well, Dexter. Dexter Lawrence.
• 55:03
  That's the rumor. Here's a couple of giants.
• 55:05
  Here's the problem. Here's the problems.
• 55:07
  Here's the problems with Fish. And everybody knows that Fish is
• 55:10
  a Giant fan. That's all he is.
• 55:12
  And he loves to sit there and talk all these great things.
• 55:14
  He thought they were getting this guy and that guy in free
• 55:17
  agency and they weren't getting any of those guys.
• 55:19
  And now he says, well, they're going to have money so they can
• 55:22
  get this guy and that guy and they're not going to get any of
• 55:24
  those guys. The problem with, and I'll say
• 55:26
  this, and I'm not being hard on the Giants, just like I'm I'm
• 55:29
  very hard with The Jets. Giant fans are lost, just like
• 55:34
  Yankee fans are lost and Met fans are lost.
• 55:37
  They like to believe that this is going to make a difference
• 55:40
  and this is going to help them and this is going to set them up
• 55:44
  in a really good position. You had the best, arguably nose
• 55:50
  tackle in all of football. And I don't care what he did
• 55:54
  last year because he wasn't healthy.
• 55:56
  That's a fact. Everybody knows he was not 100%
• 55:59
  healthy. And all you had to do was get
• 56:01
  rid of Joe Shane, who, by the way, you're probably getting rid
• 56:04
  of after this year because this is Don Harbaugh's team and he's
• 56:07
  going to bring in his own GM. So all you had to do was get rid
• 56:11
  of this man and you would still have Dexter Lawrence.
• 56:14
  He would have taken that one year extension.
• 56:16
  You would have negotiated another deal with a new GM name
• 56:19
  there and you would have been happy because you would have had
• 56:21
  the best nose tackle in the league.
• 56:22
  Now you're hoping that. And by the way, I don't I don't
• 56:27
  believe what everybody says. Oh, this is a weak draft.
• 56:30
  That's a weak draft and that's a weak draft.
• 56:32
  You know, experts are saying this is a very weak draft as far
• 56:35
  as certain positions. And I'm that's fine.
• 56:38
  I don't believe that. I have to see what these guys
• 56:40
  transition is transition into as an NFL player.
• 56:44
  But I'm going to tell you this, if you're a Giant fan right now
• 56:48
  and you're going to sit here and you're going to tell me, well,
• 56:51
  we're going to have $13 million on the cap and oh, we're going
• 56:56
  to have the 5th and 10th pick. And these guys almost guarantee
• 56:59
  you that in the future they'll be all pro players.
• 57:02
  How about this? I can point out many guys that
• 57:06
  The Jets have drafted in the top ten and have failed with those
• 57:10
  guys. And one guy that I can remember
• 57:13
  very, very closely is an Ohio State Buckeye in Vernon Galston.
• 57:18
  I remember him very well. What he did at the combine.
• 57:21
  This guy's going to be the best linebacker in the NFL.
• 57:25
  The guy had one tackle in his whole career as a New York Jet.
• 57:29
  And by the way, you know how he had that tackle on special
• 57:32
  teams? Oh yeah.
• 57:32
  Please. How about please?
• 57:34
  How about a fifth round pick that played nose tackle for The
• 57:37
  Jets? Name Snacks Harrison that ended
• 57:40
  that ended up being one of the best in the league for a number
• 57:42
  of years in All Pro and you can find that guy.
• 57:45
  He doesn't have to be a three down guy.
• 57:47
  He could be a 2 down guy at nose tackle and then you get some
• 57:50
  passengers use a NASCAR. Package Hey let me let me get a.
• 57:55
  Logical statement. You're trying to rebuild Dexter
• 57:59
  Lawrence, right? Yeah.
• 58:00
  You can't rebuild Dexter Lawrence.
• 58:02
  No one's getting double team 70% of the time like Dexter Lawrence
• 58:05
  and able to do the things he could do.
• 58:07
  But you can get a nose tackle that comes off the field in 3rd
• 58:09
  downs and have a NASCAR package with Abdul Carter and Kevon
• 58:14
  Thibodeau if you keep them and Brian Burns and you have three
• 58:17
  of those guys going crazy inside.
• 58:18
  Do you know? Do you know from?
• 58:20
  Last year, Alexander is the three tech you know you got you
• 58:22
  got guys. Do you know why?
• 58:24
  Do you? Do you know why Brian Burns had
• 58:27
  all those sacks last year is because Dexter Lawrence was
• 58:30
  getting double teams. That's why.
• 58:32
  I will guarantee you, Carter, I so good on the other side, all
• 58:36
  right? I will guarantee you.
• 58:38
  I will. I will guarantee you Burns will
• 58:41
  not have that season this year. I will guarantee you.
• 58:44
  I will. I will guarantee.
• 58:46
  Competition. I will guarantee well they're
• 58:48
  going to slide it to Carter though, because Carter's bet
• 58:51
  Carter was. Carter is better, but he hasn't.
• 58:54
  Proved he hasn't proved himself. I'm just saying last year
• 58:56
  though, you know what, what the coaches are looking.
• 58:58
  At Here We Go they're. Going to look at birds, no?
• 59:00
  Here we go, analytics, analytics.
• 59:02
  Getting by the guy in front of you, right?
• 59:04
  Are you getting by the guy in front of you?
• 59:06
  They use that quick pressure stat now.
• 59:08
  He led the league. Abdul Carter, he became a
• 59:11
  problem the last half of the season and I expected to
• 59:14
  continue. If they can figure out the the
• 59:17
  nose situation, they get someone who's halfway decent in there.
• 59:20
  It's not going to be Dexter, but you can get by with it if you
• 59:23
  improve the rest of the team and not have Shane Bowen be your DC.
• 59:27
  But Birds got it. Birds going to be the main focus
• 59:29
  until Abdul Carter and get some numbers to for sure playoff.
• 59:33
  We all know he's a free connection and we hope that, you
• 59:36
  know, he comes out this year and then explode and whatnot.
• 59:38
  But Birds got the numbers. So officers are going to focus
• 59:41
  and target him first. And then if if a dual Carter
• 59:44
  come out of it, then he'll be able to slide and double team
• 59:47
  him. I got one.
• 59:48
  That's the middle section though, for sure.
• 59:50
  Yeah. Yeah, we'll definitely going to
• 59:52
  get into that when we get to the players.
• 59:54
  But look, the agent for Dexter Lawrence is this guy named Joel
• 59:58
  Siegel. He's the CEO of WME Sports.
• 1:00:01
  He apparently, and this came out beat writer Chris Bisignano on
• 1:00:04
  his podcast Giants Insider told us that agent forbade Dexter
• 1:00:08
  Lawrence and John Harbaugh to ever talk.
• 1:00:11
  He wouldn't let Harbaugh try to convince him to stay.
• 1:00:14
  This was an agent power play where he was trying to get Joe
• 1:00:18
  Shane fired because they thought the Giants had no leverage
• 1:00:21
  because the only thing that teams are going to offer was a
• 1:00:24
  second and a fourth or something.
• 1:00:25
  Something like that for Dexter Lawrence.
• 1:00:28
  And they were completely wrong. They found that apparently they
• 1:00:32
  didn't have the leverage and it looks like the Giants kind of
• 1:00:35
  played them like fools and played their hand and look at
• 1:00:37
  what they get. They get way more than any team
• 1:00:40
  thought. All the grades online gave the
• 1:00:42
  Bengals like AD in this trade and the Giants and they I agree
• 1:00:45
  with you. Dexter Lawrence is better than
• 1:00:46
  he was last year. He's one of the best players the
• 1:00:48
  Giants have ever had. He is.
• 1:00:50
  He had two seasons in 2022, really three to the 2024 that
• 1:00:55
  were three of the best nose tackle seasons anyone's had in
• 1:00:58
  the league. 2025 was the major step back, you know, like if
• 1:01:02
  he's 85 to 90% of what he used to be, he's still one of the
• 1:01:06
  best players in the league. He had no knee problems.
• 1:01:08
  Want to pay for that? He had no knee problems, no leg
• 1:01:10
  problems, and that's where he comes off with his strength.
• 1:01:13
  I'm, I'm sure Dexter Lawrence is going to be 100% healthy when
• 1:01:16
  it, when it comes to his arm this year.
• 1:01:18
  I, I, I will tell you this right now, Dexter Lawrence is going to
• 1:01:22
  be beastly this year on that Bengals defense, especially with
• 1:01:25
  the additions they have so. You got you got Cincinnati going
• 1:01:28
  to the Super Bowl, too. No, I didn't say I I I think
• 1:01:30
  they they can. Yeah, I think they can.
• 1:01:33
  I don't know yet. I have to see how everything
• 1:01:35
  fans out for these teams. You made a prediction.
• 1:01:38
  I just told you two players that have won the Super Bowl in the
• 1:01:41
  after they get traded within two years.
• 1:01:44
  So yes yes, I think the Bengals could be a team, especially in
• 1:01:48
  the AFC up and down. You don't know what team's going
• 1:01:50
  to be good or bad yeah, I think they can win the Super Bowl.
• 1:01:53
  They've got the weapons, they have the quarterback, they have
• 1:01:56
  the defense now and they got a man as a a beast, a man child
• 1:02:00
  over there in the middle. So yes, I do believe they could
• 1:02:04
  win a Super Bowl in two years, but I'm, I'm not going to sit
• 1:02:06
  here and you can kill. You can go back and forth and
• 1:02:08
  argue with me till I'm blue in the face.
• 1:02:11
  It's not going to make a difference.
• 1:02:12
  Because the truth is, no matter what you see and what they're
• 1:02:16
  getting or what everybody is saying and the predictions and
• 1:02:19
  the percentages and all that other stuff, draft picks are
• 1:02:23
  draft picks and everybody says that.
• 1:02:26
  Everybody says that. I can tell you that most of
• 1:02:29
  these first round picks have been more bust than home runs.
• 1:02:33
  More bust than home runs, so. Well, that's basically based off
• 1:02:37
  the pics though. That's not based off the
• 1:02:38
  players. When I look.
• 1:02:40
  At the times it's bad situations and bad coaching and bad teams
• 1:02:43
  and bad genes. We just heard about an agent
• 1:02:46
  telling his player not even talk to a head coach because he wants
• 1:02:49
  to get him on the market. Like you don't understand the
• 1:02:52
  nuances behind the scenes which impacts the game.
• 1:02:54
  And that's what I'm saying. I don't understand it.
• 1:02:57
  I'm a Jet fan. I understand it very well.
• 1:03:00
  You're going to tell me I don't understand something I do
• 1:03:03
  because I've been watching it my whole life.
• 1:03:06
  I've been watching bad football my whole life.
• 1:03:10
  You don't believe in coaching? No, that's not what.
• 1:03:13
  I'm you don't believe in the GM's, you don't believe in none
• 1:03:15
  of those being the issue. You just that's not true.
• 1:03:17
  That's not true. You play the players.
• 1:03:19
  That's not true. That's not true.
• 1:03:20
  You obviously don't listen to me if you're telling me.
• 1:03:24
  Player that you like and you say, oh, that's not true.
• 1:03:27
  That's not. True.
• 1:03:28
  That's not true. You're taking words out of my
• 1:03:30
  mouth. I have never, I have never
• 1:03:33
  attacked coaching and and GM's and and thrown GM's under the
• 1:03:36
  bus. I don't like certain coaches.
• 1:03:38
  Yes, I stick up for great coaching.
• 1:03:40
  I stick up for Bill Belichick. I can't stand the man.
• 1:03:42
  I stick up for him all the time. I think he's the greatest of all
• 1:03:44
  time. I'm not going to sit here and
• 1:03:46
  beat around the Bush. He is.
• 1:03:47
  So I'm not going to. I'm not going to throw people.
• 1:03:49
  Bill Parcells was a great coach. I'm sorry, everybody looks at
• 1:03:54
  John Harbaugh and look at his success.
• 1:03:56
  Yes, he won a Super Bowl. He won a Super Bowl with not his
• 1:04:00
  players. Are.
• 1:04:23
  You good? No.
• 1:04:23
  Are you good? Yeah.
• 1:04:26
  Well, I'm going to tell you when they won that Super Bowl, they,
• 1:04:29
  they, their quarterback went on a run that nobody's ever seen
• 1:04:32
  before. When you look at runs that
• 1:04:33
  quarterbacks have gone on probably one of the greatest
• 1:04:36
  quarterback runs of all time. Did he ever do that again in the
• 1:04:39
  playoffs? No, he did not.
• 1:04:41
  So you sit here and you're going to tell me that was John
• 1:04:44
  Harbaugh throwing the ball, that guy stepping into the pass?
• 1:04:47
  No. And I'm going to tell you this
• 1:04:49
  right now. They weren't his players.
• 1:04:52
  So if you're going to sit here and tell me that Ray Lewis and
• 1:04:55
  Ed Reed and Sulks was his player, you're lying.
• 1:04:59
  You're on. The streets and Ray Lewis was
• 1:05:05
  just out there calling their own place.
• 1:05:07
  Never look to the sideline, never listen to the speaker
• 1:05:10
  inside a helmet. And Joe Flacco never heard, got
• 1:05:13
  one piece of coaching advice from anybody on the sideline and
• 1:05:17
  he just winged it all the way to the Super Bowl.
• 1:05:19
  I'm going to tell you you're lying.
• 1:05:21
  John Harbaugh is going to be with the Giants no more than
• 1:05:24
  three years, and he will be fired.
• 1:05:26
  That's ridiculous. He will be fired.
• 1:05:28
  He will be fired in about he will be fired Super Bowl, he
• 1:05:32
  will be fired. You remember I said this, he
• 1:05:35
  will not last that contract. How will they fire him with two
• 1:05:38
  Super Bowls under his belt after at that point?
• 1:05:41
  Oh, you think they're going to win 2 Super Bowls?
• 1:05:43
  OK, now you sound. You know he sounds now, now you
• 1:05:46
  know what? Sounds like you're wrong.
• 1:05:47
  Sounds like the beat. Won't go get a sound like the
• 1:05:48
  beat and he won't go get a three super.
• 1:05:50
  Bowls in a row and then all of. A sudden.
• 1:05:53
  Hey, I'll tell you right now, he's going to take a linebacker
• 1:05:55
  and a safety in the top of this strategy.
• 1:05:57
  Tell us five things good about Joe Shawn for the gym, for the
• 1:06:01
  for the Giants. Joe, Shane, Other.
• 1:06:03
  Really. Five good things say 5 things
• 1:06:05
  about him he's. Really, he's a team.
• 1:06:06
  No, not him, because he said he don't he don't take his shots at
• 1:06:11
  G of the coaches. You said you, Mr. Earl, that's
• 1:06:14
  here. You want me to say 5 things?
• 1:06:17
  Five things? Yeah, I'll.
• 1:06:18
  I'll tell you 5 good things. He came.
• 1:06:21
  He came from the Buffalo Bills. That's one.
• 1:06:24
  That's one. That's why the Giants brought
• 1:06:26
  him in. He thought he well, I thought
• 1:06:29
  Dabel was going to be a good coach.
• 1:06:31
  It was a good addition to the New York Giants for one year.
• 1:06:34
  And he fell apart because he can't handle his coaching staff.
• 1:06:37
  So I guess that I blame that on the coach, not not Joe Shades.
• 1:06:41
  So I thought he was right about Dabel at one point.
• 1:06:45
  Five things. I can't think of anything else.
• 1:06:49
  I can't. He's a nice man.
• 1:06:52
  I've got it, I've got it, I've got it.
• 1:06:55
  He was his son, was the one that told him to draft certain
• 1:06:59
  players and he actually agreed with him.
• 1:07:02
  So I guess that's a nail. Oh, by the way, he was on Hard
• 1:07:06
  Knocks and he threw himself under the bus when he was
• 1:07:08
  talking to Saquon Barkley. That was great, too.
• 1:07:10
  I mean, the man is an idiot. He is an idiot.
• 1:07:14
  And I'm assuming he's not doing most of the work now, though I I
• 1:07:17
  assume it's hard, right? He's the point of this woman
• 1:07:20
  named Donna Ponte. She's from Staten Island.
• 1:07:22
  It's fire. She.
• 1:07:23
  She she's from Staten Island. Slam dog.
• 1:07:27
  Wonderful. Just just saying a local.
• 1:07:30
  Person Oh, I'm sorry, it's local.
• 1:07:32
  Local. Italian.
• 1:07:33
  She comes from stinky Staten Island.
• 1:07:35
  Could be the first female GM after they let go of Shane,
• 1:07:39
  which is interesting as well. Look, you're right about he
• 1:07:42
  didn't draft Lewis, he didn't draft Ed Reed, but he did draft
• 1:07:45
  Kyle Hamilton. He did try to get Patrick Queen
• 1:07:48
  to be a good player, and then when he wasn't, they went and
• 1:07:50
  got Roquan Smith and paid him a lot of money.
• 1:07:52
  Yeah, you're right. The reason why he's doing those
• 1:07:54
  things is because in his defense, the green dot is super
• 1:07:58
  important. The guy who's calling the
• 1:08:00
  defense on the field, it's going to be two guys that call the
• 1:08:03
  defense. There's one guy calling the
• 1:08:04
  secondary and there's one guy. Calling.
• 1:08:06
  You brought in three, you brought in three guys, three
• 1:08:10
  offensive coordinators. It makes no sense.
• 1:08:12
  I'm not talking about the offense.
• 1:08:14
  I'm not talking about the offense.
• 1:08:15
  It makes no. Sense the offense is a working
• 1:08:17
  progress. Oh yeah, it's a work in
• 1:08:18
  progress. All right, you're out.
• 1:08:20
  It'll. Be a work in progress won't be
• 1:08:22
  healthy for the beginning. Oh run for all you giant fans.
• 1:08:25
  This isn't the year that win the Super Bowl.
• 1:08:26
  It's in a couple. Of years now, yeah.
• 1:08:28
  The couple of years, just a couple, just a couple.
• 1:08:31
  I was a Jet fan 10 years ago. Just a couple more years we got
• 1:08:34
  Sam Donald. Couple more years let's.
• 1:08:36
  Just put it on the 20 Rick Johnson takes.
• 1:08:38
  That's after the three Cowboys Super Bowls in a row.
• 1:08:41
  That's why I get so pissed off because I watched Sam Donald
• 1:08:43
  hoist that freaking trophy in the last season and it makes me
• 1:08:47
  sick to my stomach because The Jets had the guy and decided to
• 1:08:51
  part ways with him because they gave him no weapons.
• 1:08:54
  You you know, the two guys though, would be Sonny Styles
• 1:08:57
  and Caleb Downs that would do those positions on the defense.
• 1:09:00
  It's those two guys and they now have a chance to get both of
• 1:09:03
  them and that would be incredible for that defense to
• 1:09:06
  have two guys to I'm. Done with this conversation.
• 1:09:08
  I'm sick. I don't think Love will be
• 1:09:10
  there. If Love's there, it's a whole
• 1:09:11
  different story. But I think Love's going before
• 1:09:13
  I'm here in Arizona at 3:00 to take Love and I'm here.
• 1:09:17
  And if not, he goes at 4:00. So we'll get into that in a
• 1:09:20
  little bit. But Errol, you know, just to
• 1:09:23
  wrap up this whole Giants thing. You sure I'm.
• 1:09:25
  Very happy, but not happy because I but not I'm happy
• 1:09:28
  they've got as much as they did. But as a defensive line coach,
• 1:09:32
  an offensive line coach, what Dexter Lawrence was able to do
• 1:09:35
  as a Giant shouldn't be able to. I'm going to tell you this, I
• 1:09:38
  thought. That much pressure just.
• 1:09:40
  Just think about this. The Jets got for Quinton
• 1:09:42
  Williams a first and a second, and all they got was a first, a
• 1:09:46
  first for Dexter Lawrence. Makes sense.
• 1:09:48
  Makes sense. I'm sorry, Giant fans, it's.
• 1:09:50
  Great, they got, They got a better first.
• 1:09:52
  Oh, they got. A better first.
• 1:09:53
  A better first. In a worse draft.
• 1:09:55
  In a worse draft. Next year's draft.
• 1:09:57
  Doesn't matter. That means it's a lot better
• 1:09:58
  though, because there's only 15 good players.
• 1:10:00
  They got 16. Stop, stop with this.
• 1:10:02
  Giants have 10. Stop.
• 1:10:03
  With this, that's what you're saying, if that's what you're
• 1:10:06
  saying. I'm saying that The Jets got hey
• 1:10:07
  look for Quinton. Wait, guys, we got our our guest
• 1:10:10
  isn't all right. Let's let's go to the Golf Club,
• 1:10:11
  Please, let's go. This deserves a golf clap.
• 1:10:15
  No doubt. Golf clap.
• 1:10:17
  Golf clap. All right, my golf clap of the
• 1:10:21
  day goes to the friendly New York Giants.
• 1:10:25
  And why? Well, Odell Beckham is trying
• 1:10:28
  out. He's trying out again.
• 1:10:30
  Yes, he's going in and he's figuring out if he's healthy,
• 1:10:34
  he's running laps, and he's doing all that in front of the
• 1:10:37
  Giants brass. And what does that spell?
• 1:10:39
  Well, what does that spell? An absolute catastrophe.
• 1:10:42
  You're going to bring this man back to your organization after
• 1:10:46
  him kneeling down and praying to a kicking fence or pissing on
• 1:10:53
  the end zone. This is the guy you're going to
• 1:10:55
  bring in to help your young wide receivers.
• 1:10:57
  If you bring in somebody like Jordan or one of these guys, or
• 1:11:01
  how about your your guy neighbors who's coming back from
• 1:11:04
  an injury? This is what the Giants are
• 1:11:06
  going to do. They're going to bring this
• 1:11:08
  lackluster personality in your locker room.
• 1:11:12
  Why? Because he's healthy now and
• 1:11:14
  he's 33 years old. So let me tell you something for
• 1:11:17
  you Giant fans. Another dumb move.
• 1:11:20
  Really, really dumb move. Bringing a man to an
• 1:11:24
  organization with a new coach who, by the way, coached him in
• 1:11:28
  Baltimore. And what did he do in Baltimore,
• 1:11:30
  Speedy? What did Odell Beckham do in
• 1:11:32
  Baltimore? Absolutely nothing.
• 1:11:36
  And now you're bringing him back.
• 1:11:38
  Or you might bring him back to the New York Giants because he's
• 1:11:41
  a Giants fans favorite. That's what you're doing.
• 1:11:44
  You should have never let go of Saquon Barkley, and that's all
• 1:11:47
  I'm going to say about that. Giant fans, if Odell Beckham
• 1:11:51
  signs a one year contract or whatever they're going to,
• 1:11:54
  they're going to negotiate a contract with him.
• 1:11:56
  This is more of a catastrophe than anything you would want
• 1:12:01
  with your organization. Bringing a personality like that
• 1:12:04
  in a locker room, it doesn't work.
• 1:12:06
  Why? Because Jackson Dart and him are
• 1:12:07
  going to events and they're dancing around and they're
• 1:12:09
  looking so spiffy. It's a joke.
• 1:12:12
  I think it's terrible for any Giant fan to believe that this
• 1:12:15
  works. I understood what they were
• 1:12:17
  doing at the quarterback position last year and bringing
• 1:12:19
  in personalities like that. I do not understand this.
• 1:12:22
  This is a bad move for the New York Giants.
• 1:12:24
  So I don't know if this is a golf clap.
• 1:12:26
  This is a deuce, whatever it is. I had a lot of deuces yesterday.
• 1:12:29
  I'll just deuce it, golf it, whatever the hell.
• 1:12:31
  You want. Here it is, Golf clap that,
• 1:12:34
  golf. Clap that for your Giant fans.
• 1:12:37

  the ass tonight. That's our Knicks fan, Jeff.
• 1:13:13
  He's not. He's a Celtic fan anyways.
• 1:13:16
  Hey, nobody. But he claims he's a Knicks fan
• 1:13:19
  since 2023. He might have three nuts.
• 1:13:21
  And and Errol claims he's a Jets fan but loves Philadelphia
• 1:13:23
  Eagles. It happens to the, do you?
• 1:13:25
  Even know why I like Philadelphia?
• 1:13:27
  I don't want to know why I I don't I.
• 1:13:29
  Really. Don't, Donovan McNabb.
• 1:13:31
  That's why I I. He loves how Donovan McNabb got
• 1:13:35
  brought down by OCU Manora 6 times in that one.
• 1:13:37
  He tastes himself. No, that's not a huge fan.
• 1:13:40
  Anyway, I never ever played in 20 years, so he's.
• 1:13:42
  Still might, dude. I followed him his whole career.
• 1:13:46
  Even when he played up in Syracuse, I loved him.
• 1:13:49
  He was my favorite player. I watched him play high school
• 1:13:52
  ball. He was always, as a kid, I
• 1:13:55
  always loved him. So when he went to the Eagles, I
• 1:13:57
  rooted for him so and I stuck by it.
• 1:14:00
  The The Jets have always been a bad organization, a bad team.
• 1:14:03
  But I, I I'm a Jet fan. Yeah, they have two. 1009 we
• 1:14:07
  went to the ABC Championship. Sorry, we're going to mention
• 1:14:10
  times that were good and and they failed.
• 1:14:13
