• 1:01
  Listen, I'm going to sit here and I'm going to tell you guys I
• 1:05
  didn't expect the Knicks to win by 50.
• 1:07
  I didn't. It's it's nice to see.
• 1:10
  Finally the Knicks showed up in a game and in a series that they
• 1:13
  needed to blow A-Team out. They're much better than the
• 1:16
  Hawks, and they finally shut them up, shut the fans up over
• 1:20
  there in Atlanta. So in that case, for all the
• 1:23
  fans out there, you should be very, very happy.
• 1:25
  The Knicks are now relaxing, sitting around doing some
• 1:30
  podcasts and waiting for the 76ers to win that series.
• 1:36
  So I guess it's a good thing you didn't buy a premature ticket
• 1:39
  for game three like I it was a court ticket.
• 1:41
  Yeah, no, I won't buy no ticket. Man, shout out to the Knicks.
• 1:45
  Man, shout out to the Knicks for making it happen.
• 1:48
  What an incredible way to end that series.
• 1:51
  So. It was.
• 1:52
  Incredible it. Really was.
• 1:53
  Yeah, serious. It smells good.
• 1:55
  It smells very, very good. Bro 140 to 89.
• 2:00
  They were up 50 for more than half of the game.
• 2:03
  And they played all their backup players the whole fourth
• 2:06
  quarter, the whole 4th. Quarter was played by and half
• 2:09
  of the third quarter and half of the third quarter.
• 2:11
  It was crazy, absolutely. It really is.
• 2:15
  Are we going to Do you want you want me to go into the NCAA
• 2:18
  tournament? Yeah, Chaz needs about 10 more
• 2:20
  minutes. All right, might as.
• 2:20
  Well, be a quick segment out of the way.
• 2:22
  Let's go into ESPN. As ESPN has announced, well,
• 2:26
  Pete Thamel has reported that the NCAA is in the final steps
• 2:31
  of approving a deal that will expand the NCAA Tournament from
• 2:36
  68 teams to 76. A lot of this expansion talk has
• 2:41
  been driven by media companies, which are owned by Turner Media
• 2:46
  for men's tournaments and ESPN for women's tournaments.
• 2:51
  The other big factor is driving this move has been several power
• 2:56
  conferences wanting more at large bids with a chance for
• 3:01
  their teams to be to make it deep or make deep runs from the
• 3:06
  first for from the First Four like Texas did this year.
• 3:12
  With this this new expansion, the Final Four weekend would
• 3:15
  triple in size having 12 total games and 24 teams rather than
• 3:20
  four games and eight teams. The remainder of the NCAA
• 3:24
  Tournament format would still remain the same with 16 teams in
• 3:29
  four different sections of the bracket.
• 3:31
  This expansion isn't expected to be a huge money boost for the
• 3:36
  NCAA, but still expects to be an improvement in overall profit.
• 3:44
  If you're a college fan, if you're an NCAA basketball fan,
• 3:50
  you love this. You love it because expansion
• 3:54
  and opening up opportunity for college teams that are not
• 3:58
  having great seasons because 76 teams making it.
• 4:02
  A lot of these teams, especially ten of these teams or eight of
• 4:05
  these teams are probably going to lose at least eight or nine
• 4:08
  games. Think about it, maybe even more
• 4:10
  than that. So you're going to see teams
• 4:13
  that shouldn't be there make a run, and that's what you want to
• 4:16
  see. Cinderella teams.
• 4:18
  That's why I think this benefits college basketball because it
• 4:22
  opens up the floodgates to see, hey, maybe not only a 16 is what
• 4:26
  are we going to call it, a 20 team, a 20 seed.
• 4:29
  I guess it's like the NBA, the NCAA version of a play in
• 4:32
  because you're getting now, you're getting now, essentially.
• 4:34
  So what are they going to be considered A 20 or 21?
• 4:37
  Seeds would remain the same so that it's going to be like a
• 4:39
  play in tournament. So the I guess the worst winner
• 4:43
  becomes the 16 or the the best winner becomes the 15.
• 4:46
  Like, well, they got to figure this out first because they're
• 4:48
  making these new rules and when is this going to start?
• 4:50
  Is it going to start right away? They.
• 4:52
  They plan on. Starting at this season, if they
• 4:54
  can get other things approved, there's a couple media deals
• 4:56
  that have to be approved and I think a couple legal things with
• 4:58
  the NCAA that's going to approve.
• 5:00
  But what the famous report was mentioning was they're likely to
• 5:03
  have a decision by July with this.
• 5:05
  That's the thing, because over the years you see all these
• 5:08
  rules, the CBA's, it doesn't start until the the first CBA is
• 5:12
  done. So are they going to just go
• 5:14
  right into it and and try to transition into this?
• 5:16
  And this does benefit the NCAA. It definitely the advantages are
• 5:21
  some to these non conferences or the teams that you wouldn't
• 5:24
  expect to make the tournament, make the tournament.
• 5:26
  Hofstra could make the tournament every year.
• 5:29
  They get a team that sneaks into the player Liu who snuck into
• 5:33
  the playoffs and snuck into the tournament.
• 5:35
  They can make the tournament every single year if they had
• 5:37
  the season they had this year. And does this help recruiting
• 5:40
  because now you're looking at there's 76 schools that can make
• 5:44
  this tournament. Does it help the recruitment and
• 5:47
  does it open up the floodgates for more NIL deals, more money?
• 5:51
  That's the thing. And I think that's where you
• 5:53
  look at it. If if you were to look at it in
• 5:55
  in in a common way, you would look at it for the players, not
• 5:59
  really the teams or the NCAA because they're going to make
• 6:02
  money no matter what. But with all these NIL deals and
• 6:05
  and they still haven't figured that out yet.
• 6:07
  There are players that are going to be forced or are going to be
• 6:11
  approved to go to these different schools that are not
• 6:13
  usually in the tournament and now have a chance to make the
• 6:16
  tournament every single year. And if you want to be a guy that
• 6:20
  wants to go to one of these non conference teams and make the
• 6:23
  tournament and make a run, you might be looked at as a higher
• 6:26
  draft pack pick or a draft prospect.
• 6:29
  That's the way I look at this. Does it benefit the NC double?
• 6:33
  It makes it more competitive, it makes it more interesting.
• 6:35
  But I again with the NBA, the way the NBA has these playing
• 6:38
  games, I don't understand any of it.
• 6:40
  It, it doesn't make any sense. I know that's what you want to
• 6:43
  see and, and you would like to see a 10 seed make the playoffs
• 6:47
  and then make a run as an 8 seed and and make it all the way to
• 6:49
  the, to the NBA championship, but usually doesn't happen that
• 6:53
  way. We've seen it in the NFL when
• 6:55
  they brought the wild card, the wild card teams in the first
• 6:59
  wild card team I can remember is the Aaron Rodgers wild card team
• 7:02
  in 2011, right? It was 2000. 11 They were the
• 7:04
  first NFC one and then the Steelers in Ben Roethlisberger's
• 7:07
  second year in the league. The.
• 7:08
  Seahawks in Super Bowl 40. That was the first one ever.
• 7:10
  But when I remember, I remember, I remember that Aaron Rodgers
• 7:13
  team and that was the only championship Aaron Rodgers ever
• 7:16
  won. They made that run as a six
• 7:18
  seed, if I'm not mistaken. So I, I, you like to see that,
• 7:21
  you like to see Cinderella teams.
• 7:23
  And I'm not saying you can't see that in college basketball.
• 7:25
  Remember Davidson, the Steph Curry, Davidson team that made
• 7:29
  it to the I think they were in the elite 8 and and they made
• 7:32
  that run. Nobody thought Davidson should
• 7:34
  make it, but Steph Curry got hot and eventually became a top 10
• 7:37
  lottery pick to the Golden State Warriors, almost to the New York
• 7:40
  Knicks. So I the The thing is, does this
• 7:43
  benefit you left? But the Knicks wanted him, and
• 7:45
  if if Golden State didn't draft him, he was definitely going to
• 7:48
  the New York. Knicks almost doesn't count,
• 7:50
  though. What?
• 7:50
  I'm saying I knew you were going to say something.
• 7:52
  You have some kind of hatred for the New York Knicks.
• 7:55
  I know I love the Knicks. Yo, you hate the Knicks?
• 7:57
  You. City.
• 7:58
  I know. I really don't hate him.
• 7:59
  I really do. You sound like you hate.
• 8:01
  Him my second favorite team. Oh, your second favorite?
• 8:03
  Team, I'm married to a Knicks now.
• 8:05
  Yeah, yeah, you're married. Already, Yeah, I'm like Arrow.
• 8:09
  I got, I got teams all over the. Place I don't have teams all
• 8:12
  over the place the only team I root for, the only team I root
• 8:15
  for outside of New York is Philadelphia Eagles and the only
• 8:19
  reason why I'm a Philadelphia Eagle fan is because I'm a
• 8:22
  Donovan McNabb fan and my. Team the only reason.
• 8:25
  That is the only reason why I'm a Philadelphia Eagle fan.
• 8:27
  That's the truth. That's the only team that the
• 8:29
  only reason why I root on that team is because that was that
• 8:33
  was the team that drafted my favorite player.
• 8:34
  Growing up, I had favorite players in sports and I rooted
• 8:38
  for those players. When John Van Beesbrook was
• 8:40
  treated from the Rangers and we've had Neil Smith on a show
• 8:43
  and everybody knows the story. When he was traded to Vancouver
• 8:45
  and then went into the expansion draft of the Florida Panthers.
• 8:48
  I rooted for the Florida Panthers because I followed my
• 8:50
  favorite player. When eventually he stopped in
• 8:53
  with the Islanders for a year and a half, I just stayed an
• 8:56
  Islander fan. I would and call myself, but I
• 8:58
  was young. I was 13 years old.
• 9:00
  So if you want to say I was a front runner, that's what you
• 9:03
  call a front runner. But Van Bieswerk wasn't Michael
• 9:05
  Jordan. I didn't go and become a Chicago
• 9:07
  fan because Michael Jordan was there.
• 9:09
  I hated Michael Jordan. Florida was also an expansion.
• 9:11
  You didn't know they were not good, I.
• 9:13
  Didn't know they were going to Van Bieswerk was one the one
• 9:15
  that made them that good, you know, But the fact here is when
• 9:18
  I look at the NCAA and I look at this, this tournament, it opens
• 9:22
  up opportunity. NIL opportunities for these
• 9:25
  kids, That's the way I look at this.
• 9:26
  If if there's anything that I could approve on this
• 9:30
  opportunity of expanding to 76 teams, is the NIL, the money
• 9:34
  that these kids can make and maybe recruiting these players
• 9:38
  won't be so hard on these non conference teams.
• 9:41
  Yeah, I like it for the players perspective.
• 9:43
  Now, here's the thing I do worry about it because it's mostly the
• 9:45
  power conference teams that are advocating for it, is that the
• 9:48
  NCAA is still going to let in a lot of these quote UN quote
• 9:50
  mediocre teams just because they either they have a harder
• 9:52
  strength, the schedule or they played the hard conference
• 9:54
  games. Like I, I think Zu's kind of
• 9:57
  mentioning the private chat too. You want those other Group of
• 9:59
  five teams to be rewarded. Errol, you kind of mentioned
• 10:01
  that too. Like you want to see more of
• 10:02
  those second tier conferences being rewarded.
• 10:04
  You want to see San Diego State? And when I say it gets it and by
• 10:08
  the way for everybody to say when I say non conference teams,
• 10:11
  I'm talking about the big conferences, that's what I'm
• 10:13
  talking, not the SEC. Or the.
• 10:15
  ACC Correct. No non power 5 conference.
• 10:18
  That's what that's where if the committee can kind of level it
• 10:22
  out where they don't just cater to those conferences, then it
• 10:24
  could work. If they do just cater to them
• 10:27
  because, oh, you have Bruce Pearl complaining that Auburn
• 10:29
  didn't get in or Oklahoma or one of these other bubble teams that
• 10:32
  didn't get in from a power conference that still had a a
• 10:34
  fringe 500 record. Yeah.
• 10:36
  Then the process isn't going to look at it's good.
• 10:37
  Then it's going to look like a money grab for those conferences
• 10:39
  because the NCAA is not really the ones that have the power.
• 10:42
  It's those conferences that are really leveraging this the most.
• 10:45
  The SEC, the Big 10 especially, are going to leverage this the
• 10:47
  most because they're the richest ones.
• 10:49
  But the Big 12 in the ACC. Here's my question.
• 10:51
  I'm sorry to cut you off, but here's my question.
• 10:54
  The college rankings, they were talking about maybe making it
• 10:57
  into two conferences, making all the these teams into two
• 11:01
  conferences. Remember when we were speaking
• 11:02
  about this and we were arguing? This Jeff brought it up and
• 11:05
  we've mentioned many times since then.
• 11:07
  Instead of having a, a pack, you know, a PAC 12 or whatever, a
• 11:11
  Big 10 and whatever they call these power power 5 conferences.
• 11:15
  Instead of doing that, putting the ACC, the SEC and the Big 10
• 11:19
  together and then making another power conference and that's it.
• 11:22
  2 conferences and they play against one another to get into
• 11:25
  the tournament. That to me makes more sense than
• 11:28
  having all these different conferences and what do they
• 11:30
  call it? The Mountain Conference and.
• 11:32
  Yeah, the Mountain West you got, Yeah.
• 11:34
  I mean, yeah, Conference USA stop with this crap.
• 11:38
  Just put them all. Two different right A. 10 I
• 11:41
  mean, it makes no sense. It doesn't make any sense
• 11:44
  anymore. But you would hope that the
• 11:45
  committee is still going to reward those teams for still the
• 11:48
  high quality of play compared to a team that stumbled in just
• 11:51
  because they were playing a harder strength of schedule.
• 11:53
  You still lost a game. But that's what scares these
• 11:55
  kids to go into the I'm not doing that.
• 11:58
  Who wants to go to a Mountain West team when they can go to an
• 12:02
  SEC team? No, I'm with you.
• 12:03
  I like it for the players. I just don't like it for the
• 12:04
  quality. That's why.
• 12:06
  My opinion is it's just making it to two power conferences, 2
• 12:09
  conferences, put them, put the teams, you know, decide where
• 12:13
  these teams are going and that's it.
• 12:15
  Stop with this all 5 power conferences and then you have
• 12:17
  all these other conferences. And but these other conferences
• 12:20
  because of their strength of schedule, they can, unless they
• 12:22
  go undefeated, they can't make the tournament.
• 12:24
  It doesn't make any sense. If they're playing.
• 12:27
  Just let them figure out how you're going to make your
• 12:29
  schedules if they have harder schedules, if you put the harder
• 12:31
  teams against the the non harder teams.
• 12:34
  And that also brings the opportunity for these kids to
• 12:37
  get recruited these, you know, mountain, Mountain West teams or
• 12:41
  whatever you call these different there.
• 12:43
  If there's no if there's two conferences, then you don't have
• 12:46
  to worry about, well, if I go to this school, I'm never going to
• 12:48
  make the tournament. There's no chance I could play
• 12:50
  in this tournament. But if I go to the SEC or the
• 12:53
  ACCI got a better chance. That's why I think you if you're
• 12:57
  going to do this, you might as well just turn it into and Jeff
• 12:59
  is absolutely shout out to Jeff. He's absolutely right.
• 13:02
  Just make it into two big conferences and let them play
• 13:05
  against one another. But I think it's already enough
• 13:08
  underdogs that already get access to the tournament
• 13:11
  initially and so I don't understand conference.
• 13:13
  Wins not because at large bids though.
• 13:15
  Huh. Because of them winning their
• 13:17
  conference, not because of at large bids.
• 13:19
  Yeah, but but but also now we're going to add like what, 8 more
• 13:22
  underdog teams to, to, to get in and to have a chance to compete.
• 13:26
  I feel like in regards to the money where the big schools
• 13:29
  already play the smaller schools and pay them for a win.
• 13:33
  So there's money already been given gifted to these smaller
• 13:36
  schools or whatnot. I just, I mean, it's a money
• 13:38
  graph for sure. March Madness is what top three
• 13:40
  top five biggest sports? Number one, Number one for
• 13:45
  sports betting #1 for sports betting.
• 13:46
  Oh yeah. Number one, so you know that's
• 13:49
  it's already a golden cow already.
• 13:51
  So I just don't really understand the metric behind
• 13:54
  adding at least eight more teams.
• 13:56
  And then if you're going to do that, are you going to cut
• 13:58
  regular season schedule because all of these games ain't no way
• 14:02
  they're going to fit into the the month of March.
• 14:05
  Like you're going to be playing either into April or you're
• 14:08
  going to be have to start in February to just the.
• 14:11
  End to start the season earlier or they're going to have to
• 14:14
  reduce the conference. Tournament.
• 14:15
  But I'd rather I would. I would rather see more
• 14:17
  competition. I want to see more competition,
• 14:20
  quality competition. Instead of watching this garbage
• 14:22
  at the tail end of the season and then you watch conference
• 14:25
  championships, how about just wave the conference
• 14:27
  championships, Make 2 conferences and whoever has the
• 14:30
  better records at the end of the year, the top 76 teams make it
• 14:34
  or the top 76 schedules that have the multiple big wins get
• 14:39
  to go and make the tournament. That would make more sense.
• 14:41
  It's well if you win your conference well then you can get
• 14:43
  voted in. Who cares?
• 14:45
  Who cares if you win your conference?
• 14:48
  It to me it doesn't make any difference.
• 14:49
  You can win the trophy and get knocked out in the first round,
• 14:52
  so it it does. What about the NIT?
• 14:54
  So basically the NIT games are stupid shift.
• 14:57
  So it's the. In the the at the end of the
• 15:01
  tournament, yes. So those teams are crappy teams
• 15:04
  that make. Yeah.
• 15:04
  There be more from there, yes. Yeah, so not have the NIT
• 15:08
  anymore. Is the NIT really bringing in
• 15:09
  money? Nobody goes skipping.
• 15:12
  Nobody watches the NIT. Yeah, nobody does they.
• 15:14
  They took the value from it. It was absolutely a good thing
• 15:17
  like a couple years ago. Like it was legit in regards to
• 15:20
  like a secondary option to watch on TV at the.
• 15:23
  While we're doing now the football effect, they're
• 15:25
  skipping bowl games. Let's let's throw this, OK, when
• 15:29
  you watch ESPN every night when NIT is going on, does ESPN put
• 15:34
  that as a top story? They never do.
• 15:36
  It's the last story. It's the last story of the hour
• 15:39
  special. Nobody cares.
• 15:41
  And the ESPN pretty much throws it out there.
• 15:43
  Nobody cares about NIT. So what are these schools doing?
• 15:46
  Why do you even want to play in the NIT?
• 15:48
  Notre Dame, remember, nor the team was supposed to play in a
• 15:50
  ball game. They decided not to play in the
• 15:53
  ball game because they got screwed out of the tournament
• 15:55
  and that's the way it should go. Why would I want to play in the
• 15:58
  NIT's? Why do?
• 15:59
  Why do I care if I win the NIT championship?
• 16:01
  Nobody cares. Nobody cares if you win that
• 16:04
  super trophy, nobody cares. Just get rid of the NIT's 76
• 16:10
  teams and stop with this. Play in this and play in there
• 16:13
  and turn it into the NBA. The NBA is an absolute joke when
• 16:15
  they're doing this. It's it's AA just did it too
• 16:18
  with the football, right? They expected in 12 and that
• 16:22
  ain't going. That was over 2.
• 16:23
  Four was way too small for. That it's just stupid.
• 16:26
  See, the NFL is different, and I'll tell you why.
• 16:28
  The NFL because you play one game.
• 16:30
  That's it. You play one, but they better
• 16:31
  add another game they're trying to add.
• 16:34
  Well, well, here's the thing. It's a cash cow.
• 16:37
  The NFL is a cash cow the way Roger Goodell looks at it.
• 16:40
  And it's pretty simple. Hey, we play one extra game.
• 16:43
  Think about this. How many sponsors are we going
• 16:46
  to bring in? How many jerseys are we going to
• 16:48
  sell? How many games are we going to
• 16:51
  sell out? That's the way he looks at it.
• 16:53
  And he's right. And it brings more money for the
• 16:55
  players, the owners and the league.
• 16:57
  And that's what they're doing. Now all of a sudden, how many
• 17:00
  foreign games are? Do they play international
• 17:01
  games? Do they play every single year?
• 17:03
  Now they're playing in a Germany, Brazil, all over the
• 17:05
  place. Why don't you make, why don't
• 17:08
  you do this? Why don't you just make an
• 17:09
  international football team and get it over with already?
• 17:13
  That'll be good. We we should have one like NBA
• 17:15
  got Toronto. I think that'll be good.
• 17:17
  Yeah, that's a good idea. But I'll be as a former football
• 17:20
  player, I tell you right now, no football player wants to play 19
• 17:23
  weeks. How you say that right now we're
• 17:25
  not for it at all. So they don't benefit us at all,
• 17:27
  even though you think it do because of the check.
• 17:29
  But we do that won't to play like T we said they're headed to
• 17:32
  the playoffs. It's rugged, right?
• 17:34
  No, nobody wants to see that. I, I just think when, when you
• 17:38
  look at these leagues and it doesn't matter if it's the NCAA,
• 17:41
  college football, college basketball or the NBA, the NHL,
• 17:45
  the MLB or the NFL, it's all about a money scheme.
• 17:49
  It's always about money. They say it's not a going, it's
• 17:52
  not going to be a, a huge money boost.
• 17:54
  Everybody knows with these NIL deals and NIL companies, the,
• 17:59
  the opportunity to bring in money and these kids, they see
• 18:02
  the opportunity. Look how many kids decided to go
• 18:04
  back to play college basketball next season.
• 18:07
  Why did they do that? They don't have to go in the
• 18:09
  first round because they're making millions and millions of
• 18:11
  dollars off the NIL deals. And until they figure that out,
• 18:14
  and I say this, I was for the NIL deals before it even came
• 18:17
  out. For for years, I've been repping
• 18:20
  these players, these college players to make money.
• 18:22
  But now that all these kids are making so much money and there's
• 18:25
  opportunity to make millions and millions of dollars, there's no
• 18:28
  control over it anymore. What happened?
• 18:30
  You said you was rooted. For no, I'm sorry, not there has
• 18:35
  to be a cap. There has to be, there has to be
• 18:38
  because, because what's going on?
• 18:40
  What's going, what's going on right now?
• 18:42
  These kids, these college kids are making so much money.
• 18:45
  They're, they don't know what to do with the money.
• 18:47
  And then they're starting to do stupid things off the field.
• 18:51
  And guess what? The NCAA didn't know what to do
• 18:53
  with those billions of dollars, and they was making stupid
• 18:55
  decisions as well. There's no question.
• 18:58
  I mean, Johnny Manzel did that and he did a lot of stupid
• 19:02
  things. But the, the fact here is
• 19:04
  there's got to be some kind of control.
• 19:06
  There has to be control. If there's no control, the
• 19:09
  league is going to go haywire. And, and again, I look at these
• 19:12
  kids, I, I want these kids to make as much money as they
• 19:15
  possibly can. I'm behind it.
• 19:16
  I'm for it. Everything that's going on with
• 19:19
  the transition of these leagues and and college into
• 19:21
  professional sports, what hurts the sport is let's say you're a
• 19:26
  New York Jet fan and we've seen this happen.
• 19:29
  Remember, there was a chance that The Jets could have gotten
• 19:32
  Peyton Manning and Peyton Manning decided because he had
• 19:35
  one more year left, he could go back to play college football
• 19:39
  and play one more year college football because he didn't want
• 19:42
  to play for The Jets. He did not want to go to The
• 19:44
  Jets. So what did The Jets have to do?
• 19:45
  They had to draft Keyshawn Johnson.
• 19:47
  Now it's a consolation prize. It wasn't a great one because he
• 19:51
  started with Wayne Quebec called him a flashlight and we all know
• 19:53
  what happened to him. He went to the Buccaneers and
• 19:55
  win the Super Bowl with them. The fact here is I sit here
• 19:58
  today, there has to be some kind of control.
• 20:01
  And if there's no control, if if a player and their father says,
• 20:06
  oh, I don't want to play for that team, well, I'm going to go
• 20:08
  back and play college football. I don't care because I'm making
• 20:10
  all this money anyways. I could play one more year and
• 20:13
  not enough to go to that organization and that team
• 20:15
  because they're an absolute joke.
• 20:16
  And that's what's going to happen with Arch Manning.
• 20:18
  I'm telling you, mark my words, guys, remember I said this, if
• 20:22
  it's Miami or The Jets at the top of that draft.
• 20:25
  Remember I said this, Arch Manning is not going to come out
• 20:28
  next year. He is not.
• 20:29
  You best believe he's got that Red Bull contract.
• 20:32
  He's making five and a half million dollars.
• 20:34
  Why does he need to come out? He does not need to come out.
• 20:37
  Just go to the playoffs. There it is again.
• 20:39
  There it is again with the. Jets Well, here's the here's the
• 20:42
  thing though, why is it when the players get controlled, there
• 20:45
  becomes an issue when organizations in these leagues
• 20:48
  has have controlled all the whole time and they can misuse
• 20:51
  us, they can misuse the players, they can put us in bad
• 20:53
  positions. And let's be honest, if you're
• 20:55
  not doing a good job at getting the right coaches and creating
• 20:58
  the culture, why am I obligated to go to you?
• 21:01
  Because I have the option to come out instead of doing what's
• 21:04
  best for me and going back to school and getting a better
• 21:08
  option in regards to team and organization.
• 21:10
  That's what I'm trying to figure out.
• 21:11
  I don't understand why there's an issue when the players do it,
• 21:14
  but the league, we see it around the league all the time.
• 21:16
  The league Trade, trade, trade picks, trade players.
• 21:20
  They draft this player for one or two years, then get rid of
• 21:24
  them. Bitch players, you know, and
• 21:25
  just set people up for a bad to have bad career.
• 21:28
  So once the players got the control now and they have the
• 21:31
  option to be able to make a decision, it seems like
• 21:34
  everybody has an issue saying that it's running rampant when
• 21:36
  it's like, no, like if I can go back in school to pay another
• 21:39
  year and get with a better program, why wouldn't I do that
• 21:42
  versus just going to an organization that sucks and they
• 21:46
  trying to be better and then put me in a bad position and I have
• 21:49
  to figure it out. Cute.
• 21:51
  Now they're taking away where they're trying to make rules
• 21:53
  where you can only portal one time, one time in your college
• 21:57
  career, because now they are players jumping ship.
• 22:00
  They're going from one team to another team to another team and
• 22:03
  they have all the time in the world to stay there.
• 22:05
  They got four years that they could play.
• 22:07
  Some of them could play five years.
• 22:08
  We've seen players play five years of college ball, yes.
• 22:12
  So it happens like that and it works.
• 22:14
  But, and now they could jump ship.
• 22:16
  But now the NCAA is figuring out ways where they can't do that,
• 22:19
  where if you jump ship, you decide after two years you're
• 22:22
  going here, you can't jump to another team just because you
• 22:24
  can get more money from NIL companies and I and IL deals.
• 22:27
  And that's that's where I think they're going to be able to
• 22:29
  close in or figure out how to control this and the money that
• 22:33
  these kids are making because you can jump ship whenever you
• 22:36
  want. And it's a big problem because
• 22:38
  you have guys like, I'm not going to mention names, guys,
• 22:42
  coaches going to Saudi Arabia trying to find money there.
• 22:44
  And you know what I'm talking about, All right?
• 22:46
  You know what I'm talking about Deon Sanders, who goes over
• 22:49
  there and he's trying to find every bit of the money he could
• 22:51
  possibly use to bring in NIL companies and and money to pay
• 22:55
  these kids. Oh, you want to come and play
• 22:57
  for me? I'm going to get you $1,000,000.
• 22:58
  I'm going to get you 2 million. I'm going to get you 5 million.
• 23:00
  Hey, where are you getting it? Who cares where I'm getting it?
• 23:03
  I'm getting it somewhere. I got it in my back pocket.
• 23:05
  I know a Prince from Saudi Arabia.
• 23:07
  That's the problem right now. When you can get money and you
• 23:11
  can drive that money wherever you want, that's the problem.
• 23:14
  There has to be control before this gets it becomes in a gun
• 23:18
  slinging. They're not, you know what
• 23:19
  parents are going to do? They're just going to red shirt,
• 23:22
  but they go sit out like they just going to choose.
• 23:24
  That why then you're not going to get.
• 23:26
  Dressed, you're not happy with your results and that's what I
• 23:29
  said. What it does is the coaches need
• 23:32
  to take the responsibility and be able to impact the player and
• 23:35
  create a culture where the the actual player wants to stay.
• 23:38
  Obviously some of the stuff is money driven, but at the end of
• 23:41
  the it's all money driven. Most Power 5 schools can afford
• 23:45
  the player, however, they don't know how to actually coach the
• 23:49
  player and to helping him understand personnel, understand
• 23:53
  where he fits in and actually have a successful career.
• 23:57
  These coaches are making 10s of millions of dollars.
• 24:00
  They're making ridiculous money. You have Nick Saban coaching.
• 24:03
  You have Nick Saban going out there.
• 24:04
  I don't want to coach anymore because I think the NIL
• 24:06
  companies are overpaying these players.
• 24:08
  He's going out there, but it's OK for him to make eighteen, $19
• 24:11
  million every single season? That doesn't make any sense.
• 24:14
  Jim Harbold does what he does. Whatever happened over there?
• 24:17
  Michigan jump ship and gets what, 20, $1,000,000 or $18
• 24:21
  million from the the Chargers. It's a big problem.
• 24:25
  It to me, there's so much money. It's all about money.
• 24:27
  Professional sports, college sports, it's all money driven.
• 24:31
  It has nothing to do. Oh, I want to go play there
• 24:33
  because they're a champion. Oh, I want to go play in
• 24:35
  Georgia. No, I want to go into Georgia
• 24:36
  because they're going to give me a million and a half dollars to
• 24:39
  come over there under the table. That's why I'm going to Georgia.
• 24:42
  That's the facts and that's the problem right now.
• 24:44
  College football and college basketball.
• 24:47
  It's betting now these kids are figuring out ways how how they
• 24:50
  can hide and, and find somebody to bet or bet on a sport and bet
• 24:54
  against them because they know what's going to happen or they
• 24:56
  know a player that's heard they know it.
• 24:59
  And Allen Iverson said it best. And I, I heard him on a podcast.
• 25:02
  He says this is going to affect not only college basketball, but
• 25:05
  the NBA for the worst. And you've seen what's going on
• 25:08
  with Chauncey Billups and everything Jones and Rozier.
• 25:11
  The problem right now in professional sports is there's
• 25:14
  so much money to be made, so much money to be made.
• 25:17
  And it scares me because these kids, all they have to do is
• 25:21
  make one mistake, bet on sports, do that their careers over,
• 25:24
  careers over. Because all they care about is
• 25:26
  how much I can get in college, how much I can make off a stupid
• 25:30
  little bet under the table out. It's going to make me $50,000
• 25:33
  when I can make a a million and a half dollars for a signing
• 25:36
  bonus to go into the New York Knicks.
• 25:38
  It makes no sense. Figure Figure betting.
• 25:40
  That's what they do it. For not a Sonic, but there's no
• 25:43
  Sonic bonus with names. But you know, we don't.
• 25:44
  Play the contract, we play to make money.
• 25:47
  Well, I understand that, but that's a big problem.
• 25:50
  That's the big no. It's not the love of the game.
• 25:52
  It's not for the love of the. Game too, yes, Never.
• 25:54
  It used to be, that's not no, never.
• 25:57
  Because there was everybody else was eating and stuff.
• 26:00
  It was never, it was never. It was always about the.
• 26:04
  Money. It was all right when it was
• 26:06
  getting paid under the table. Who who?
• 26:08
  See. Jerry Maguire.
• 26:10
  Anybody see Jerry Maguire? Anybody remember that?
• 26:12
  That part? Remember when Jerry's in the
• 26:14
  bathroom, he says why do you play football?
• 26:16
  And he says, do you play for the love of the game?
• 26:18
  You play for the love of the game, Right, right, right.
• 26:21
  You do your job, I'll do mine. He looked at him.
• 26:24
  It was always about the money. It was always about the money.
• 26:27
  That's what Cuban, Cuban junior said.
• 26:30
  He he made it. He pretty much flipped it on
• 26:33
  you. Yes, it's always about the
• 26:34
  money. Has nothing to do with the
• 26:36
  sport. Nothing.
• 26:38
  Well, I know somebody that always does it for the money.
• 26:42
  He does it in the second-half. Speedy, bring them in.
• 26:45
  Yes, indeed it's. We got Mr. Chaz triumphant
• 26:48
  return. We were waiting for him and I, I
• 26:51
  want to say something. Welcome back, Chaz, I'm going to
• 26:54
  say. That's been here for a little.
• 26:55
  Bit we got Chaz in we're going to go into this parlay.
• 26:57
  We got let's parlay and we're going to get into it When we
• 27:00
  were waiting I I knew I wanted to attack this this way.
• 27:04
  I'm sorry, Chaz, but my my plan here is is I I think that
• 27:08
  something needs to be corrected here.
• 27:09
  You want to expand you want to bring in money.
• 27:11
  You think this is better for the sport that's great.
• 27:14
  You think it's going to eventually take all take this
• 27:16
  sports to higher heights, that's great.
• 27:18
  But when these things that are going on in professional sports
• 27:21
  and college sports and it's uncontrolled and now this
• 27:23
  betting thing is only going to get worse.
• 27:25
  That's what scares me. That's where these kids are
• 27:27
  going to get arrested. That's where these kids are
• 27:29
  never going to play professional sports because they have no
• 27:31
  control. There's no control over the
• 27:33
  money that's being brought to the table.
• 27:35
  That's my argument here and that's why I think this is not
• 27:38
  good for the sport. All right, we call this Let's
• 27:40
  parlay. Welcome back, Chaz.
• 27:55
  I'm sorry we held you up, but to me, we got to get into what
• 28:00
  really is the problem right now in college sports and
• 28:03
  professional sports, it's all about money.
• 28:05
  And you know, here's my take, here's my take.
• 28:08
  There was a £300 guy, right? And he didn't have money for
• 28:12
  food Sunday night because his car didn't work, right?
• 28:15
  They don't get meals that Sunday night.
• 28:16
  And I'm laughing. That guy's flipped.
• 28:18
  Now he owns a McDonald's. Come on, talk to me.
• 28:23
  He just told you now that guy owns a McDonald's.
• 28:25
  Big problem. Now he can go to McDonald's
• 28:27
  anytime he wants. Hey, I want a hamburger, I want
• 28:30
  a Whopper, I want some fries. Get me some frost.
• 28:33
  There's no. Frost in there.
• 28:34
  I'm telling you right now you're a top if you're a top rated
• 28:37
  player, you could say to a guy that owns 5 or 6 or some of
• 28:41
  these guys own 20 McDonald's, right?
• 28:43
  I want a McDonald's franchise and I'll go play that IL for you
• 28:46
  and I guarantee one day someone's going to get.
• 28:49
  It's already happened to Chaz, you right?
• 28:51
  It's definitely going to happen. All right, Chaz, you know
• 28:53
  anybody doesn't know, let's parlay.
• 28:55
  Chaz is going to give us his top three picks of the week and his
• 28:59
  fourth to parlay. Are you ready, Chaz?
• 29:01
  He's. Got a bunch of Derby stuff.
• 29:03
  Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 29:05
  What week is it? Oh yeah, it is Derby, Derby
• 29:08
  week. And there's not a shot in the
• 29:11
  hell I'm looking at the hockey game this week.
• 29:13
  I'm not looking at a basketball game.
• 29:15
  Yeah, March Madness could roll around in the first week of May
• 29:18
  and I might not even watch March Madness.
• 29:20
  And I had the Michigan in my bracket, so no.
• 29:24
  So, Chaz, you're gonna. Set a championship.
• 29:25
  Basketball, the queue how you feeling Chaz, before we get into
• 29:29
  this, how you feeling? I we haven't seen you in a
• 29:30
  while. Well, you know what, you know
• 29:33
  why, right? I took I took a sabbatical to
• 29:36
  finish my screenplay and my sitcom pilot and they're done.
• 29:40
  Good for you. So I am now in the process of I
• 29:42
  got them proofed, send them out to some people.
• 29:45
  I probably, I don't know, two weeks away from aggressively
• 29:49
  looking for a production producers and agents and stuff.
• 29:52
  So pretty excited about that. Well, maybe you can get one of
• 29:55
  us on your nice little. I got a little stick.
• 29:57
  There's no doubt about. I might have to step right into
• 30:01
  the movie theaters, you know? Everything I every story I tell
• 30:05
  has sports betting in it. So there you go.
• 30:06
  But So what I'm thinking is I'll just start with there's, there's
• 30:10
  2 pages. I have remember I have, this is
• 30:12
  my 20th year. So I started capturing the date
• 30:15
  IN20O72OO7. Now it's 2:20, it's 220 years.
• 30:20
  This is 20th year. And we do very well.
• 30:23
  As you know, every single year with the same guys, we go to Del
• 30:26
  Mar, we get all banged up, doped out, we have a good time and
• 30:30
  then we go to dinner. But we almost every single year
• 30:33
  we hit the the trifecta. And last year, of course, I gave
• 30:38
  out on this very show. No, it wasn't called less less
• 30:40
  probably last year. I don't.
• 30:41
  Think it was it was it? Was was it?
• 30:44
  Yeah, I gave out this very. I gave out the the cold 1.
• 30:47
  You hit the one exact. Yeah, you're hit.
• 30:49
  You're 80. $4000 or whatever that was, yeah.
• 30:52
  Yeah, yeah. So what happens is I, I judge by
• 30:55
  all these variables and then I give a point.
• 30:57
  If you're in the top and so like it's your 6 for a long time,
• 31:01
  your mile time, it's buyers, it's 88 or 9 different
• 31:05
  variables. And then I just see how many
• 31:07
  they have. And so this is what I do.
• 31:09
  And, and then in my notes, it says trust the data because it's
• 31:14
  done so well. We're talking about 73% of the
• 31:17
  time I've had the winning horse for the Kentucky Derby.
• 31:20
  Those are pretty good numbers, right?
• 31:21
  That's, that's now, that's only for 11 years though, because I
• 31:25
  didn't capture it. I didn't for 20 since 2007.
• 31:29
  I got the data, but I didn't, you know, see how good I was
• 31:31
  doing until 2015. But even that's eleven years.
• 31:34
  That's pretty good. So, So what I got is further
• 31:37
  ado, Golden Tempo and so happy. They all have 7 points.
• 31:41
  They all have top buyers, they've raced in the best races
• 31:44
  they can close. They got good times.
• 31:46
  Those are my top three. So last year it was, I think it
• 31:50
  was one of those numbers as well.
• 31:52
  It was sovereignty and journalism, right?
• 31:54
  I saw them 1-2 this this year I I really think for introduce the
• 31:58
  best horse in the race, but it's a Derby.
• 32:01
  All it takes right is 1 horse to kick something in your face.
• 32:03
  There's twenty of them These some of these races guys that
• 32:06
  are preferences. They have 5 freaking horses in
• 32:09
  it. You go from five horses to 20
• 32:11
  horses. Think about it.
• 32:13
  So, so that's my top three further ado Golden Tempo and so
• 32:16
  happy. Then I have a second page where
• 32:19
  I put my bets together and that's where I put together the
• 32:24
  trifecta bets and the exact and I'll do super fectas as well.
• 32:27
  But in the old days of normal betting, it's a $0.10 bet on
• 32:31
  Derby day would overwhelm them. So they make it a dollar
• 32:34
  supplied demand curve, you know, so I'll have some of those.
• 32:38
  That's now those normally are that changes your day.
• 32:41
  You hit a try, you hit this Derby super fecta, it changes
• 32:45
  your day and some people have changed their life if they get
• 32:48
  lucky and they're betting numbers, I'm never going to have
• 32:51
  it change my life because I'm the horses I'm betting are good.
• 32:54
  The thing is on the Derby day, you could get away with some of
• 32:56
  that. So the top six horses were those
• 32:59
  three further ado. Oh, I get.
• 33:01
  So here's what I said to somebody today.
• 33:02
  This is cute. I said I am so happy that out
• 33:08
  without further ado, I can tell you that I hope I hope Golden
• 33:12
  Temple wins the Kentucky Derby. And they didn't get it.
• 33:16
  They didn't get that was just the three horses I like.
• 33:18
  So the next group is Chief Wallaby Commandment and Silent
• 33:22
  tactic. Now Silent tactic was Wes's
• 33:24
  pony. He got scratched though.
• 33:26
  Then the next two are potent, potent.
• 33:29
  I don't even know how to pronounce.
• 33:30
  I think that's Baffert's horse and Renegade and then emerging
• 33:32
  market and incredible. So I watch every race, every
• 33:36
  single race that led up to this. I watched it twice.
• 33:39
  I do it every year. This is the biggest week of my
• 33:42
  this is almost Christmas. Christmas is better, but this is
• 33:45
  called and so I have further ado Golden Temple.
• 33:50
  So happy renegade and incredible.
• 33:52
  I have that five horses. So I'm going to give those
• 33:55
  numbers out 18111819. I'm telling you right now, I
• 34:01
  think it's 60 bucks. You box it for 60 bucks and you
• 34:07
  thank me later. I thank you for joining us, as
• 34:11
  you always are. Yeah, you know what?
• 34:13
  I'll tell you once, once I get once I get somebody to see my
• 34:17
  vision with my writing and my and my scripts and stuff.
• 34:20
  I mean, one's 100 pages and one's 30 pages.
• 34:23
  So it's a lot of writing. Then I could come on as an
• 34:26
  author. Yeah.
• 34:28
  That would be cool. Anything you do, you try to do
• 34:31
  at 100. Percent, you have to come up.
• 34:33
  With a high level. You got to come up with a pen
• 34:35
  name now. Well, no, no.
• 34:38
  I mean, it's, it's it's Mark Chaz Velardi.
• 34:41
  That's me. I mean, that's what I know.
• 34:43
  If you know me, if you know me, you call me Chaz.
• 34:46
  If you don't really know me, you call me Mark.
• 34:49
  That's kind of how it rolls. There you go.
• 34:51
  You got to be nice to him. Yeah, you call him Chazzy.
• 34:53
  I, I like the AI Tommy, you know, Tommy's been out a couple
• 34:56
  times. He's doing that.
• 34:57
  But that one in the right hand corner, that's the shirt.
• 35:00
  I'm I'm wearing my sports betting weekly shirt Saturday to
• 35:03
  the Derby. So I'm telling you right now, if
• 35:06
  I hit the trifecta, the Super factor, there will be a video of
• 35:09
  me and it may be a lot of. Beeps he'll be.
• 35:12
  He'll be like this. No, you know what, let me tell
• 35:18
  you. That's bottles, by the way, boys
• 35:21
  and girls. When you've got the program,
• 35:23
  when you've got the program rolled up in your hand and
• 35:25
  you're watching the big screen and you're hitting your ass,
• 35:28
  you're hitting your own ass. There's nothing like it, man.
• 35:31
  Speedy does it every. Night don't give Nathan any
• 35:33
  idea. Speedy does it every night.
• 35:35
  He smacks his ass every night before he goes to bed and then
• 35:38
  he wakes up at 12. I'll check in with, I already
• 35:41
  checked it with Wes. I check in with pretty much
• 35:43
  everybody Derby day. And actually, you know, for me,
• 35:46
  it's a tough one because I lost my stepdad and my mom two months
• 35:50
  apart recently. And So what happens is the the
• 35:53
  Yeah, well, that was every year on Derby day.
• 35:55
  Every year, Every year because he was a big horse race player.
• 35:59
  How's your father doing? I mean, how's I'm not enough,
• 36:01
  Father, How's your brother doing?
• 36:03
  Yeah, You know, he's better. He's better.
• 36:05
  But he's, you know what he got? He had a couple grandkids come
• 36:07
  into his life and so he was able to, he was in the military
• 36:10
  retiree. So he's able to live the good
• 36:13
  life now. And that's really helping
• 36:14
  because he's, you know, he's suffering from memory issues,
• 36:17
  but he's got people that are there.
• 36:19
  So he's starting to embrace. I just, they tell me what to do
• 36:22
  when I do it. And that's, and I, and I, you
• 36:25
  know what I told him, you know, he's not really religious and I
• 36:28
  am, I said, you know what I'm telling you, that's a gift, man.
• 36:31
  You know, a lot of people look like a curse, but you look like
• 36:33
  a gift. And it's a special thing because
• 36:35
  he's got people to love him. They take care of him.
• 36:37
  He goes on his golf trip, one of the nephews goes with them.
• 36:40
  I pick him up, I take him to the airport, I wait and get him on
• 36:43
  the plane. You know, we do that stuff and
• 36:45
  and because, you know, you when you love somebody, you hate to
• 36:49
  see him suffering, you know? So, well, what you do is you do
• 36:52
  what Aaron Aaron Rodgers does. He pretends he has a woman that
• 36:55
  he married and he names his aunt Brittany and he puts that ring
• 36:58
  finger on his hand. That man's married.
• 37:01
  He's not. Nobody's met her.
• 37:03
  Nobody's met. This lady.
• 37:05
  Nobody's met this lady. He's a private life.
• 37:08
  Oh really? Private life?
• 37:10
  That man has a private life. He made a Netflix documentary.
• 37:15
  Who was that? Who's Bill Lee?
• 37:16
  Remember Bill Lee? He was in a little space.
• 37:18
  This dudes, you got him. That dudes out there, he lives
• 37:20
  in a different world. Different world.
• 37:23
  She's he's telling you, I mean live.
• 37:25
  In a. Different world he live in a
• 37:28
  different. Yeah, we married to his hand.
• 37:29
  We will. Also, we will also do mushrooms
• 37:32
  Saturday at the Derby, but I'm not going to go into.
• 37:35
  A cave in the. Desert.
• 37:38
  I wouldn't mind doing that. That's a fun time, man.
• 37:41
  That's a fun time. Right, gentlemen.
• 37:44
  So you got the numbers, you wrote them down.
• 37:46
  Petty. Yes, he's got it.
• 37:48
  And Speedy. I told I here's the thing I my
• 37:52
  wife needs a new piece of furniture.
• 37:54
  So I told her if I if I hit the for 1700 or more I'll buy her
• 37:58
  furniture. Speedy will have his Speedy will
• 38:01
  have his hands in his pants when that that that shot goes off.
• 38:04
  Here we go. And he'll be running all the way
• 38:06

• 38:08
  Anyway, go baby. Chaz we.

  There you go, baby. With it I wonder.
• 38:21
  Listen, I have a lot of crazy responses.
• 38:23
  I, I will say this for all the fans out there.
• 38:25
  When you do almost a four hour show, things go many different
• 38:30
  ways. And especially in the first part
• 38:34
  of the show when there's all arguing, pretty much, I want to
• 38:37
  RIP his head off. He wants to RIP my head off and
• 38:39
  then I want to smack Speedy around half the time and then
• 38:42
  Fish jumps in because he just wants to piss me off even more.
• 38:44
  That's what that's how this works.
• 38:46
  That's how it works. Ladies and gentlemen, for
• 38:48
  anybody that doesn't want this show or listens to this show or
• 38:52
  downloads this show, downloading and just see how these guys just
• 38:56

  I mean, this is going to be for the next two weeks.
• 39:05
  These teeth jokes. Listen, they're not that bad.

  I got to listen to this listen if I can actually put my hand in
• 39:34
  the screen and smack you around a couple times I'd do that.
• 39:37
  I would do that, man. I would go too short.
• 39:40
  I'd be like 5-2. I am not 5 two.
• 39:43
  Wait until you meet me. You're you're an idiot, You and
• 39:46
  Jabba, you guys have like this thing like.
• 39:48
  I'm gonna Jabba even call you 52.
• 39:50
  No, you know what's funny when Jabba, when I saw, I've met
• 39:53
  Jabba a couple of Times Now and when I saw Jabba recently, I'm
• 39:56
  like, I, I the first thing I said, 510 and a quarter.
• 39:59
  You're going to you're going to make fun of my size.
• 40:01
  You're not that much taller than me, Mr. Jobster.
• 40:04
  And he looked at me and says I'm still taller than you.
• 40:06
  You, you, you, you called me some shrimp.
• 40:08
  Get the hell out of here. I'll body slam you, Jabby.
• 40:11
  Anyways, I got to, I got to move on.
• 40:13
  We got to move on. Anyways, we call this dial it
• 40:15
  up. We interrupt this regularly
• 40:17
  scheduled hot mix to bring you important news book.
• 40:20
  We got a big. Broadcast to do here.
• 40:22
  We're about to dial it all it up.
• 40:26
  Wow, look at that. Welcome back to Dial It Up.
• 40:30
  It's moving faster than ever before.
• 40:33
  This is everyone's favorite segment because it's a lightning
• 40:36
  round sports segment with stories that Errol has not seen
• 40:40
  yet. He's going to dial up a take and
• 40:43
  then we're going to react to his on the spot reaction.
• 40:46
  Errol, Are you ready to dial it up?
• 40:49
  Yeah, just throw it at me. Here's the one that we have to
• 40:52
  start with. Steve Kerr came out the other
• 40:55
  day and said that Draymond Green is the best defensive player he
• 41:01
  has ever seen. And here's the quote.
• 41:05
  And that's saying something. That's saying a lot given that I
• 41:09
  played with Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman.
• 41:13
  He said that to an interview in The New Yorker.
• 41:16
  The modern game demands so much more than it did in the 90s.
• 41:21
  You have to be able to guard all 5 positions because there's so
• 41:25
  much pace and energy and cross matches.
• 41:28
  You race back on defense, you've got to guard the guy in front of
• 41:31
  you. Then there's the pick on game.
• 41:33
  The opposing team is going to bring the weakest defender into
• 41:35
  every pick and roll to gain advantage.
• 41:37
  Draymond, he can guard any action, any position, any
• 41:41
  player. And he can also blow up up the
• 41:43
  play behind the play if he's not involved with the action because
• 41:46
  of his brain, his speed, his reach.
• 41:49
  I think he's no more than six. 5 1/2 Draymond the best defensive
• 41:54
  player you ever saw. Dial it up.
• 41:58
  How many tons does Steve Kerr put his hands in his pants?
• 42:00
  I don't know. Every time.
• 42:02
  Draymond Green's next. Oh, boy.
• 42:03
  Here's the facts. Draymond Green is not the
• 42:07
  greatest defensive player of all time.
• 42:08
  There's a guy named, yeah, Bill Russell, who won 11
• 42:11
  championships. I'm not going to sit here and
• 42:13
  try to make up some kind of stupid attempts to try to
• 42:18
  nitpick players that I play with.
• 42:19
  He's not better than Scottie Pippen.
• 42:22
  He's not better than Dennis Rodman.
• 42:24
  He's not better than Michael Jordan at his position, who shut
• 42:27
  down players at his position at a top level.
• 42:30
  What is he drinking? What is he smoking?
• 42:32
  There's no way in hell Draymond Green is the greatest defensive
• 42:36
  player of all time right now in the league.
• 42:38
  Webbing. Yama's way better than he is.
• 42:40
  I'll tell you this, half the guys in the league is better
• 42:43
  than him. You're going to say if he's that
• 42:44
  great of a player, he should be up for defensive player of the
• 42:47
  year even at the age of 80. Get out of here.
• 42:51
  Yeah, and I'll tell you this, two out of those three, he
• 42:54
  should not have one defensive player of the year, just so you
• 42:56
  know, just so you know, he shouldn't have.
• 43:00
  No, he shouldn't have. Do you want me to?
• 43:04
  Do you want me to tell you who was?
• 43:05
  Around No, there's no you can't. There's nothing you can say.
• 43:07
  He has three trophies. Yeah, that's because I've said
• 43:10
  this. Say you can tell me the NBA, he.
• 43:13
  Has NBA gives these stupid trophies out to guys they love
• 43:18
  and Draymond Green they loved until he started going crazy in
• 43:22
  the middle of his career. He went crazy in his middle of
• 43:24
  his career. He.
• 43:25
  Did I'll give you that. He did.
• 43:30
  He was in in his first 567 years of the NBA.
• 43:33
  I love Draymond Green, as a matter of fact, Speedy.
• 43:35
  How many times have I gone back, forth, back and forth?
• 43:37
  Early in your time, I knew you kind of stuck.
• 43:39
  Up. I stuck up for Draymond Green.
• 43:41
  He's a two way basketball player to me.
• 43:43
  He was the backbone of the Golden State Warriors after the
• 43:47
  the ridiculousness that he was doing on and off the court,
• 43:51
  taking pictures of his you know what, and posting it up on
• 43:54
  Snapchat and all that other garbage and then doing things on
• 43:57
  the basketball court and then thinking that everybody's
• 44:01
  racist. Every time he had to say
• 44:03
  something to the media, it was like, you're racist, you're
• 44:06
  racist, you're racist. Play the Bam basketball game.
• 44:10
  Why are you even bringing this up?
• 44:12
  Nobody cares what you think, Draymond.
• 44:14
  Just go out there and play the game.
• 44:16
  Yeah. You guys share some of the same
• 44:18
  qualities in your personality, so I could see how you related
• 44:20
  to him early on in his career. I loved him.
• 44:23
  He was one of my favorite players early, early and then he
• 44:28
  went haywire. Real haywire.
• 44:30
  We say that about you sometimes as the show go too, so I can see
• 44:34
  the comparison. Well, I'm definitely haywire,
• 44:38
  there's no doubt. I mean.
• 44:39
  Kerr said. He's 6/5 and 1/2.
• 44:41
  You're 510 and a quarter, you know, same kind.
• 44:44
  Of not 5-10, let's cut it, OK? Wait till you see me.
• 44:47
  Wait. Till he's like 5-8 at best.
• 44:49
  I'm definitely not 58. I'd say he's 510.
• 44:52
  He's close to 510 if he's not 5-10. 5/8 is close.
• 44:55
  Shut up Q. Shut up Q.
• 44:59
  Listen, I could be 51058. I'll just take you down.
• 45:03
  I'll go wayside Dr. My shoulders drive my shoulders baby drive
• 45:09
  my. Shoulders behind none of this,
• 45:11
  you talk. About really, You think I have
• 45:12
  no strength? Wow, you just walk the trim
• 45:15
  though every day. Dude, no.
• 45:16
  I lift, dude. I lift.
• 45:18
  Dude, are you kidding me? I lift every day.
• 45:21
  I lift every day, buddy. Every.
• 45:23
  Day push us every day. Every push dude I do.
• 45:27
  Are you kidding me? I do 600 push ups a day.
• 45:31
  Sometimes just give me a break, you know, give me a break.
• 45:35
  They're not sponsored. I look at it.
• 45:37
  I'm I'm trying to get them to you see what I'm saying for.
• 45:40
  Showing them. I'm getting.
• 45:41
  Corbett, that you know. A big boot, I can tell you.
• 45:44
  That let's get that. Let's get that going here with
• 45:47
  the next one. We're gonna go to baseball
• 45:48
  Arrow. I told you about this the other
• 45:50
  day. Oh I love this.
• 45:52
  Major League Baseball force the Guardians to bench.
• 45:56
  They're starting broadcasting crew in favor of a younger crew
• 46:01
  in order to get this arrow. Preserve them to keep them fresh
• 46:05
  for the season. Yes, load management for
• 46:10
  broadcasters of a baseball game. This could only come from the
• 46:14
  great Rob Manfred. So here's the report.
• 46:17
  Let me read it to you because it's hard to believe this is a
• 46:19
  real story. Paul Hoynes of the cleveland.com
• 46:24
  MLB Local Media, which produced the Guardians telecast this
• 46:27
  season along with the local telecast for the for all 13
• 46:31
  other teams in the league, directed the Guardians to make
• 46:34
  some subtle changes to the broadcast booth.
• 46:38
  What they try to do is they basically are benching long time
• 46:41
  broadcasters to Matt Underwood and Rick Manning, who's done it
• 46:44
  for 37 years and saying and that last series against the Blue
• 46:49
  Jays last weekend, they forced these younger guys.
• 46:53
  Al Pelowski was play by play and former catcher Chris Jimenez was
• 46:59
  the color commentator. Chris Jimenez, ladies,
• 47:02
  gentlemen. A lot of people on social media
• 47:05
  were not happy with this decision and then as it got
• 47:09
  revealed the MLB was behind it, I thought you might have some
• 47:13
  feelings. When you dial it all, well, it's
• 47:17
  pretty simple. Rob Manfred, as Jabba calls him,
• 47:20
  or Manfred, whatever you want to call it, the guy is completely
• 47:24
  blind. He has absolutely no idea how to
• 47:26
  run an organization or a league. So he goes out there and an
• 47:29
  organization that has done so very well.
• 47:32
  If you look at the broadcasting that this organization has had
• 47:35
  over the years, they've not won in 70 or 80 years.
• 47:37
  It's been a long time, but this organization has consistency.
• 47:40
  You they've been an A top organization when it comes to
• 47:44
  developing players. And if you look at their
• 47:46
  broadcasting, I have Nick Goody. Nick Goody's a good friend of
• 47:48
  mine. He was broadcasting last year
• 47:50
  with some of the the older guys. They they decided not to go with
• 47:54
  him, but they're going to bring him and his they're going to
• 47:56
  bring all these guys. I don't even know the other guy.
• 47:58
  I don't want to ask where they found these guys.
• 48:01
  They're a bunch of idiots. I listened to their broadcast
• 48:03
  the other day after the fact that you told me this, I
• 48:06
  listened to the broadcast. They don't even know what
• 48:08
  they're watching. They have absolutely no idea if
• 48:11
  they know what a strike is or a bull is.
• 48:13
  One of the guys actually to a fly ball and they said it was
• 48:16
  caught when it was a home run it.
• 48:18
  It's pathetic. Honestly.
• 48:20
  Baseball needs to stay the hell away from these organizations.
• 48:23
  These organizations have done it right.
• 48:24
  Charlie Slows, good friend of the show, good friend of mine,
• 48:28
  this is a guy that has been fighting to keep his job year in
• 48:30
  and year out. He's afraid that some of these
• 48:32
  young guys are going to take his job away from them because
• 48:34
  they're looking to get younger. The younger guys don't know
• 48:37
  anything about the sport. They think they do.
• 48:40
  They want to believe they do, but they're complete morons.
• 48:43
  You know what I really think? Rob Manford's a moron.
• 48:46
  His idiocy, everything that he does for the league has ruined
• 48:49
  the league. So get him the hell out, 2028.
• 48:53
  Kick his ass out, Bam, bam. Outside of baseball, find
• 48:58
  somebody else that actually knows what he's doing.
• 49:00
  Rob Manfred, Manfred man ass man, hand job.
• 49:04
  Get him out of here. Yeah, it's ridiculous that
• 49:06
  they're trying to force certain off days on them.
• 49:08
  Like usually these broadcasters have a certain amount of games
• 49:11
  they do a year. I know, I don't know how it
• 49:13
  exactly works with the Guardians, but I know what the
• 49:15
  Mets like. Gary Cohen gets 120 games and
• 49:17
  he'll get to choose his own off days.
• 49:18
  Keith Hernandez, they want to choose his own something like
• 49:21
  for a guy that's that's been as with the team as long as he has,
• 49:24
  like why is he being forced to take particular off days in
• 49:28
  order to do that? Let him pick when he wants.
• 49:30
  I'm sure he has things scheduled with his family that he wants to
• 49:32
  go see. And you're going to force a
• 49:33
  particular game on a guy that's been with the team forever?
• 49:37
  You think Rob Manford cares about his?
• 49:39
  Only he doesn't, and that's the moronic thing here, that you're
• 49:43
  not respecting a well respected broadcaster to be able to pick
• 49:46
  his own off case. It's pathetic.
• 49:49
  It's absolutely pathetic. He should be ashamed of himself.
• 49:52
  Him in his red eyes, I guess he's a devil, or that's what
• 49:55
  he's trying to portray himself to be.
• 49:56
  He's a devil. He's an absolute moron.
• 49:59
  He doesn't know what he's doing. He needs to get.
• 50:01
  Out. Yeah, he's a puppet master.
• 50:02
  I need to smack him around. If I was in front of Rob
• 50:05
  Manford. I heard that Rob Manford's
• 50:07
  actually a pretty tall guy. He's like 6-2.
• 50:09
  I give him a nice. I give him a nice knee to the
• 50:11
  ground and give him a nice knee right into his abdomen.
• 50:14
  Watch him fly on the ground. Eat that.
• 50:17
  Give me that little trophy, baby.
• 50:19
  Sorry. Let's go.
• 50:22
  All right, you're going to like this one too.
• 50:25
  I think you're going to really like this one.
• 50:26
  Q. Can you?
• 50:27
  Believe. Oh please.
• 50:29
  What Carmelo Anthony had to say about Nico Harrison deserving
• 50:36
  credit for Cooper flags. Oh my God.
• 50:40
  Rookie. Of the year campaign.
• 50:45
  Is he out of his freaking mind? I agree.
• 50:50
  Oh my God. So I mean, look, I don't really,
• 50:52
  there's not much more to say, Melo got on his podcast, was
• 50:57
  sitting there sipping his red wine, as he tends to do.
• 51:00
  He needs to sip more of. It outlandish statements and
• 51:05
  this is what he says and this is reported all over the media,
• 51:09
  social media, the quote shout out to Nico Harrison, man for
• 51:14
  seeing this right here for understanding this vision.
• 51:17
  No matter what happened, how it happened, Dallas got something
• 51:21
  back. They got the number one pick.
• 51:24
  You start talking about Cooper ceiling and a young face of the
• 51:26
  league in the NBA, that's Cooper flay.
• 51:30
  Can you believe that he's shouting out Nico Harrison for
• 51:35
  getting lucky and winning the lottery when they had no
• 51:38
  business of doing so when it was probably had some frozen
• 51:41
  envelope juju going on because they gave the Lakers Luka Doncic
• 51:46
  and that for Anthony Davis was the the prize in that deal.
• 51:49
  If we remember, he gone too. Errol Mellow wiling out.
• 51:54
  Dial it on. I I'd like to thank the LJA, the
• 51:58
  LeBron James Association for giving me Cooper flag.
• 52:01
  Oh boy, that's what I'd be saying.
• 52:03
  Because there's no way in damn hell that Nico Harrison should
• 52:07
  get any credit for trading Luka Doncic.
• 52:11
  That is pathetic. Honestly.
• 52:13
  The NBA is a joke and and, and Carmelo Anthony is.
• 52:16
  He'll sell anything. Carmelo Anthony wants to sell
• 52:19
  ratings. That's what he's doing.
• 52:20
  He wants to give Nico Harrison who's never going to get AGM job
• 52:23
  ever again. Nobody's stupid enough will give
• 52:26
  him the opportunity to run their organization.
• 52:29
  This guy ruined the Dallas Mavericks.
• 52:31
  And yes, he got lucky getting Cooper flag, but let's thank
• 52:35
  LeBron James, let's think a thank Adam Silver.
• 52:38
  It's pathetic. It really is.
• 52:40
  Everybody knows the lottery is bullshit.
• 52:42
  Everybody knows it's crap. And honest to God, Carmelo
• 52:46
  Anthony coming out and saying that just tells me one thing.
• 52:49
  Carmelo Anthony doesn't know where the hell he is or what
• 52:51
  he's doing on his podcast. He really just likes to open his
• 52:54
  mouth, sip, wait, whatever he said is a windbag that sips wine
• 52:59
  and thinks that he knows everything about basketball
• 53:01
  because he's a Hall of Famer and he was a Nick.
• 53:04
  The guy never won anything. I'm not taking any advice from a
• 53:06
  guy that really never played in a final, never won anything.
• 53:09
  Why am I even taking any information from a guy that
• 53:12
  knows nothing that he thinks he knows honestly?
• 53:15
  Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo Anthony, he never won
• 53:17
  anything. Who we talked about, yeah.
• 53:18
  Carmelo Anthony is a born loser born loser, loser of.
• 53:23
  Course. Loser.
• 53:24
  That's what it is. You see how he did this?
• 53:26
  It's really this. Of all time.
• 53:28
  Loser El. What are the greatest of?
• 53:30
  El Loser. Sleepy ladies and gentlemen.
• 53:32
  He's a loser. That's the loser.
• 53:34
  He's a loser. No, no, this is it.
• 53:35
  He always. He did this.
• 53:36
  He's. Crazy.
• 53:37
  He did that, did that for the three points.
• 53:39
  No, I'm doing this. He really?
• 53:41
  Shot 33% on. L for loser anyways, it is
• 53:45
  pathetic. There was no luck.
• 53:47
  The NBA gave him Cooper Flag and and honest to God, a lot of
• 53:51
  people thought that Cooper Flag might have not or shouldn't have
• 53:54
  not won the rookie of the year. So I mean, there's a lot of
• 53:59
  questions to that. I mean, there was a guy over
• 54:01
  there in Charlotte that had a pretty good season too, if you
• 54:03
  know what I mean. I I like Cooper Flag.
• 54:06
  I want Cooper Flag to win. But to say this or even try to
• 54:10
  pitch this to anybody that watches sports or actually knows
• 54:13
  what the NBA is doing right now, that is a crock.
• 54:17
  Look, Carmelo, if you ever came on this show, I would eat you up
• 54:20
  alive. Eat you up alive.
• 54:23
  Eat you up alive on this shelf. So, you know, are you kidding?
• 54:27
  Me. You kidding me?
• 54:28
  I would eat him up a lot, dude. He wouldn't listen to you.
• 54:31
  You're a Celtic fan. Carmelo Anthony wouldn't even
• 54:33
  listen to. You.
• 54:34
  You're a Celtic. Fan I'm a player, really.
• 54:38
  Yeah, he wouldn't listen to you. You're a Celtic fan.
• 54:40
  He would. He hates the.
• 54:41
  Celtics No, he's he's not. He's not a fanatic to the poor
• 54:46
  where he can't respect. Somebody on your Celtics called
• 54:49
  his wife Honey in a Cheerios. He likes Boston, I agree.
• 54:53
  But listen, Nico definitely deserved the credit.
• 54:56
  You know, at the end of the day, he did end up getting the
• 54:59
  lottery pick. He was responsible.
• 55:01
  He was the GM and for Dallas Mavericks and they did trade
• 55:06
  Lucas Dodgers for Cooper flag and there's a generation of
• 55:11
  talent for. No, they traded Luca for a guy
• 55:14
  that's no longer on the team. They.
• 55:20
  Did. Not.
• 55:22
  They got rid of Luca Duchess they get he end up getting the
• 55:25
  lottery pick which end up being Cooper flag at the end of the
• 55:29
  day. OK.
• 55:32
  See, you froze. You know why you froze?
• 55:34
  I was saying was. Because they know you're not
• 55:36
  froze. Yeah, you did.
• 55:37
  You froze. You know why?
• 55:38
  That's not on my. It's not on my end.
• 55:40
  Because the gods in the air are telling you you're an idiot.
• 55:43
  But anyway, I'm talking, all right, No idiots.
• 55:47
  Nico deserves the print. He deserves some credit, even
• 55:50
  though everybody thinks it was rigged.
• 55:52
  Everybody thinks that. It is.
• 55:54
  The lottery was rigged. It is just.
• 55:56
  So happened to fall in this lap. It absolutely did.
• 55:59
  That this type of situation would happen, but at the end of
• 56:01
  the day it happened in the drafted Cooper flag and you got
• 56:04
  to give some credit. What credit is due?
• 56:06
  You give it G so hard. If you give AGM credit for for
• 56:10
  where your spot is in the lottery, that's not exactly like
• 56:13
  a presidential thing of this guy is defined as a good GM.
• 56:17
  Oh, the Sun's got the number one pick.
• 56:19
  Are we going to say their GM was any good when they got DeAndre
• 56:22
  Ayton at the time? Do you?
• 56:24
  Remember, I said give some credit.
• 56:25
  Do we say give them? Do we pay?
• 56:27
  About a year award. Do we give them some credit?
• 56:30
  Do we? Remember of the year for Why
• 56:32
  does he have a job? He could have won more games, He
• 56:35
  could have won more games and never even been.
• 56:36
  Do we remember? Do we?
• 56:39
  Remember when Nico Harrison came out at the press conference in
• 56:43
  front of the media and had to make his, I guess, claims to
• 56:48
  what he was planning to do after trading Luka Doncic?
• 56:50
  And he had Jason Kidd sitting right next to him and giving him
• 56:53
  a look like, what are you, an idiot?
• 56:55
  You traded our best player that took us to the final last year?
• 56:58
  I, I mean, what a joke. And you're going to sit there
• 57:01
  and try to sell that Nico Harrison will never get AGM job.
• 57:04
  He'll never get an executive job, just like Billy King.
• 57:07
  No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't.
• 57:09
  They fired him 10 months too late.
• 57:11
  Don't worry, he's still a mouthy of the year.
• 57:13
  He's 25. He is Billy King esque.
• 57:16
  And you know what? You know what Billy King did?
• 57:18
  Remember what Billy King did? Oh, I remember he made a trade
• 57:21
  with the Celtics, if you remember that, which gave him, I
• 57:24
  don't know. Or Jason Tatum.
• 57:26
  Jaylen Brown. Yeah, exactly.
• 57:29
  Stupid. Have another GM job stupid.
• 57:31
  No, we won't. Yeah, I'll put money on.
• 57:32
  It maybe the Nets will be dumb enough to hire him, but we're
• 57:34
  we're. We'll cover it in in.
• 57:37
  No, we won't. I'm never covering Nico.
• 57:38
  Harrison if we if he does get AGM job will cover again and
• 57:42
  mocking him the whole time. I will not show up to the show
• 57:44
  if we cover Nico Harrison. OK?
• 57:46
  That guy's a moron. I would never cover him just.
• 57:49
  That guy probably made the worst trade in NBA.
• 57:52
  History. It is the worst.
• 57:53
  Trade NBA history and to give him credit for getting like,
• 57:56
  what should have been the 13th pick, you know, to become the
• 57:59
  first pick. I don't think he deserves
• 58:01
  credit. That's like getting, oh, you,
• 58:02
  you're so great at investing money.
• 58:04
  How'd you get that money? Oh, I won the lottery.
• 58:06
  Oh, you're such a genius. You inherited.
• 58:08
  Money. You're like, yeah.
• 58:09
  Right, I love that cue's frozen with a smile right now.
• 58:12
  It's good, right? It is good.
• 58:14
  It's, you know the gods up, you know, up in the air, it's.
• 58:17
  Out you pop out and pop back in. If you could hear us, I'm going
• 58:19
  to pop you out. Leave the screen.
• 58:20
  Just for a second, there it. Is oh, I did that to it, but he
• 58:25
  needs to come back in and out. But Stream Yard was going after
• 58:27
  him for his conspiracy theory. Maybe that's what happened.
• 58:31
  They stream yard cancelled him for like 5 minutes or so.
• 58:34
  They. Probably said OK, Q it should be
• 58:36
  no idiots, not no idol. You know what we're going to do
• 58:39
  since Q's frozen, we were already planning on this.
• 58:41
  We're going to bring in our intern Zoot.
• 58:43
  Zoot is going to be and all our interns, they're almost done
• 58:46
  with their semester, got another week of shows like.
• 58:49
  Congratulations to all our interns, all the hard work and
• 58:52
  dedication that they put in to our back end.
• 58:54
  It's it's been great and looking forward to seeing you guys grow
• 58:59
  everywhere you go in your careers.
• 59:01
  Yeah, so Zoot had a request. You know, I said is there
• 59:04
  anything you want to do before we were done with the
• 59:06
  internship? And he said I'd like to get talk
• 59:08
  about the Kentucky Derby. So I said, fine, let's bring it
• 59:12
  in. Here's a Kentucky Derby preview
• 59:15
  featuring our buddies. Zoot.
• 59:17
  Let me give you a little bit. You got a bunch already from
• 59:20
  second-half Chaz. He was a little all over the
• 59:23
  place with the odds. His odds were not the ones I'm
• 59:25
  looking at. He has three different parlays,
• 59:27
  or he has a three and A5 horse parlay that.
• 59:29
  Was no I I'm aware of that, but he said that the guy with the
• 59:33
  best odds is actually the guy tied for second.
• 59:36
  Renegade has the best odds despite the fact being on the
• 59:39
  number one pole post at 4:00 to 1:00.
• 59:42
  If 4 to 1's the best odds, it's a wide open race obviously.
• 59:45
  And that's what Chaz was saying. A commandment and further ado
• 59:48
  Chaz's favorite are tied at six to one.
• 59:51
  Chief Wallaby, he mentioned as well 8 to 1, the Puma 12:50.
• 59:55
  So happy in emerging market are the next tied at 15 to 1.
• 1:00:01
  I got some notes from Zoot, you know, again, the inside post
• 1:00:05
  hasn't won since 1986. That's the year I was born.
• 1:00:08
  That's a forever ago. Owned by Mike Ripoli Owned by
• 1:00:12
  Mike Ripoli, St. John's alum or been an investor
• 1:00:16
  in the UFL. He's never had a winner.
• 1:00:18
  And the jock? You're just rude.
• 1:00:21
  You don't like jockeys. Why do you have to be mean to
• 1:00:23
  the jockeys? Jackalack.
• 1:00:28
  They're already so little. Monstrous.
• 1:00:34
  Come on, fish that one. I guess so.
• 1:00:36
  You make an excellent point. Errol, the jockey is Junior,
• 1:00:42
  arguably the best jockey in the country who has not won the
• 1:00:46
  Kentucky Derby. The other one that you should
• 1:00:48
  know about is the Puma lost to Commandment by a nose in the
• 1:00:51
  Florida Derby, and it looks like that might be the horse of
• 1:00:55
  Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. Stay away from that horse.
• 1:00:59
  Stay away from that horse. Stay far away from that horse.
• 1:01:03
  We've heard a lot about the Derby.
• 1:01:05
  I got to hear your take. All right, so I'm not a Derby
• 1:01:10
  fan, but I like the name Chief Wallaby.
• 1:01:13
  That's a cool name. I'm going to go with the Chief
• 1:01:15
  Wallaby this year, 8 to one favorite.
• 1:01:18
  I wear a lot of Pumas, so I'm going to go with Puma in seconds
• 1:01:22
  and then I'll go Renegade because I like to Renegade every
• 1:01:26
  night, ladies and gentlemen. So I'm going to go Chief
• 1:01:30
  Wallaby, the Puma and Renegade as my 123 just because I can't.
• 1:01:37
  That's three great choices. Those are three of the best
• 1:01:40
  horses in the field. It's definitely one of the more
• 1:01:42
  wide open derbies in the last few years.
• 1:01:46
  Just the fact that in the morning line Renegade was 4 to
• 1:01:50
  one favorite. Right now in the betting,
• 1:01:52
  Renegade still the favorite, but it's 5 to 1.
• 1:01:54
  It's just it's going to be anybodies Derby.
• 1:01:57
  But I think the biggest story of the Derby this year is with
• 1:02:01
  Renegade Mike Ripoli. He is.
• 1:02:04
  I don't know if you know about Ripoli, but he.
• 1:02:06
  Is I do actually. He he loves to talk.
• 1:02:09
  He loves to talk crap about his horses, just about whatever he
• 1:02:14
  can. He, he wants to be the
• 1:02:16
  commissioner of horse racing. He's always tweeting, talking
• 1:02:20
  crap to other owners and he's great for the game.
• 1:02:23
  He's so much fun to listen to. He's had some great horses over
• 1:02:28
  the years and yet he's never been able to win a Derby.
• 1:02:31
  And he's got a pretty good chance this year with Renegade.
• 1:02:35
  But then he drew the one post on the inside, which like you said,
• 1:02:39
  hasn't had a winner since 86. But I'm telling you, if Renegade
• 1:02:43
  wins the Derby this year, that post race interview with
• 1:02:47
  Micropoli on NBC is going to be must watch television.
• 1:02:51
  He's going to go off on everybody who said he never had
• 1:02:53
  a chance, who said his horses stink.
• 1:02:56
  He's going to go off. I, I, I want Renegade to win
• 1:02:59
  just because I want to see that my top pick for the Derby.
• 1:03:02
  I like commandment. He's won four races in a row.
• 1:03:06
  He's beaten some of the other top horses.
• 1:03:08
  He beat Chief Wallaby, he beat the Puma.
• 1:03:10
  Those two horses just look really good.
• 1:03:13
  They've ran some big races as well, and Commandment is also
• 1:03:18
  one at Churchill Downs where the Derby is run.
• 1:03:20
  So you know he's going to take to the ground because each each
• 1:03:23
  track is a little bit different. So when you win at Churchill
• 1:03:26
  Downs, you know they're going to like that, that ground.
• 1:03:28
  He's just so consistent. He battles on.
• 1:03:32
  He doesn't win big like some of the other horses like Further
• 1:03:35
  Ado, who Chaz mentioned earlier. He has the fastest race, the
• 1:03:39
  biggest number. Yeah, he, he, he won by like 11
• 1:03:44
  lengths in his last race, which is huge.
• 1:03:47
  But Commandment doesn't have that.
• 1:03:49
  But he's going to grind, he's going to battle.
• 1:03:51
  That's why I like him. Wow.
• 1:03:53
  I like the Chief Wallaby because it's a cool name and I like, I
• 1:03:57
  like being chief. I like being the chief.
• 1:03:59
  So I think. That was going to go.
• 1:04:00
  I'm going to go. Wallaby going to do that for me.
• 1:04:03
  Speedy Wallaby Wallaby, Wallaby Wallaby.
• 1:04:06
  I think that was the one Chaz's friend had.
• 1:04:08
  It was one of the five that cluster.
• 1:04:10
  Speedy, if Chief Wallaby, if Chief Wallaby wins, I want you
• 1:04:14
  to go. Go ahead, Wallaby.
• 1:04:17
  Yeah. Like wee like there we.
• 1:04:20
  There we go. I like that, yeah.
• 1:04:23
  Let's go. We got one left, boys, and this
• 1:04:26
  one is related to the New York Football Giants.
• 1:04:30
  Of course. So you may have heard Colin
• 1:04:35
  Coward make some comments about the Giants offensive line about
• 1:04:40
  10 days ago. After the draft he made some
• 1:04:43
  more comments about how, you know, they just are kind of
• 1:04:49
  mediocre in the trenches, need to go build up the trenches.
• 1:04:53
  Insulted Jermaine Illuminor saying he was a journeyman
• 1:04:58
  offensive lineman. So this was on for Tony.
• 1:05:01
  Called him that. He said he was overpaid after he
• 1:05:04
  got a three-year $39 million contract this offseason.
• 1:05:07
  Illuminor responded saying he has no clue what he's talking
• 1:05:10
  about, that he earned every damn petty.
• 1:05:12
  He was one of the best right tackles in the league last year
• 1:05:15
  according to PFF. Had a 76 seven pass blocking
• 1:05:18
  grade as evidence to dispute that.
• 1:05:21
  Anyway, it continued. Colin Cowherd, as you can
• 1:05:25
  probably expect, double down on it after the Giants draft saying
• 1:05:28
  that they did a good job because they needed to address the
• 1:05:32
  trenches. Illuminor basically went back in
• 1:05:35
  the same way that people go back at Steven Naismith, saying he's
• 1:05:38
  doing it for the clicks and that he has no idea what he's talking
• 1:05:42
  about. Errol, I think you lay somewhere
• 1:05:45
  in between where I feel and Colin Cowherd feels about this
• 1:05:49
  one, but I'm curious to hear it. Dial it up.
• 1:05:53
  First of all, I I would agree what you mean Illuminor.
• 1:05:56
  It's all about clicks with this guy.
• 1:05:58
  I I like Colin Cowherd but he has said some stupid, dumb
• 1:06:02
  things for many, many years and the one thing I could say he was
• 1:06:06
  right was Sam Donald will win a Super Bowl.
• 1:06:08
  But besides that, he has been wrong and everything that's come
• 1:06:12
  out of that guy's mouth. I think Jemaine Aluminor hat was
• 1:06:15
  one of the best right tackles in the league last year, especially
• 1:06:18
  when Thomas came back. There's no question and I
• 1:06:21
  wouldn't attack Jemaine Aluminor unless I know how to protect
• 1:06:24
  myself and Colin Coward is a little bitch and people just
• 1:06:27
  smack him silly. I'd stay away from any of the
• 1:06:31
  giant game. Stay away from Jemaine Aluminor
• 1:06:33
  because if he if he shows his face at any one of those games,
• 1:06:37
  he's going to drop the hammer on him.
• 1:06:39
  Honestly, the Giants are going to be a good offensive line.
• 1:06:42
  They added, they added to that offensive line, they added to
• 1:06:45
  the beef. I think they're going to be very
• 1:06:47
  good this year. The question is who's running
• 1:06:49
  the ball and who's catching the ball?
• 1:06:51
  Only time will tell when it comes to that.
• 1:06:53
  Is Jackson Dark going to hold the ball too long or he's going
• 1:06:56
  to run outside of the pocket and get killed?
• 1:06:58
  That's not the offensive line's fault.
• 1:07:00
  That's because there's no playmakers on the football
• 1:07:02
  field. And Malik Neighbors, when he
• 1:07:04
  does come back, is he going to be the same Malik Neighbors?
• 1:07:06
  That's the problem. It's not the offensive line.
• 1:07:08
  I think the offensive line is proven.
• 1:07:10
  If Thomas is healthy, they can play at a high level.
• 1:07:13
  I I'm somewhere in between on this because I don't think that
• 1:07:17
  Thomas is the only reason why they can be good.
• 1:07:20
  I think Mal Noah going there is going to be a big deal going
• 1:07:22
  forwards in the future, but it's more about just having a unit
• 1:07:26
  that works well together. Look at Illuminor stats last
• 1:07:28
  year. Howard's not wrong.
• 1:07:30
  He was an average overall tackle because in the run game he
• 1:07:34
  wasn't much, but he also had nobody at guard playing next to
• 1:07:38
  him to double team with him in the run game on these three
• 1:07:40
  techniques, so they weren't going to be good.
• 1:07:43
  So it's hard to look at those stats because overall he was
• 1:07:46
  ranked 54th out of 89 tackles, like a round average.
• 1:07:50
  But if you look at the pass pro, which is really what you need
• 1:07:53
  the tackles need to do, that's the most important thing.
• 1:07:56
  He was 20th in the NFL, which means he's a well above average
• 1:08:00
  pass protector. And if he put a real good guard
• 1:08:03
  next to him like they just did with Mount Noah, I bet he's
• 1:08:06
  above average there, too. So when you draft somebody in
• 1:08:10
  the trenches, it's not because you have a journeyman, which is
• 1:08:13
  not true. He was only with the Raiders
• 1:08:15
  before this and he got a contract with the Giants and
• 1:08:17
  then he proved that he deserved another contract.
• 1:08:18
  He's getting 13 million a season.
• 1:08:20
  That's an average to above average player at that position.
• 1:08:23
  It's not a star player, but it's a good player to have.
• 1:08:26
  And if you put a potential star next to him, now you got a guy
• 1:08:29
  that can make the Pro Bowl. And that's what Cowher doesn't
• 1:08:32
  understand. But I think you're right.
• 1:08:34
  That guy couldn't care less to understand the nuances of this
• 1:08:37
  game. He just wants to get the shock
• 1:08:38
  reaction and Illuminor bit into it.
• 1:08:40
  Maybe it helps Illuminor in the future with his media stuff, but
• 1:08:43
  it certainly helped Cowher the same way it always does.
• 1:08:46
  But he's wrong, like he always is, and that has been dial it
• 1:08:51
  up. Thank you to all the fans on all
• 1:08:53
