My name is Errol Marx, my Co hosts, not Jabba Chamberlain
0:29
tonight. Jabba is here in New York.
0:32
He's relaxing, he's getting ready for his big weekend of
0:35
extravaganza. I might get a chance to get a
0:39
chance to hang out with him at this this weekend.
0:42
So we'll see what happens. I'm a pretty busy guy this
0:44
weekend as well, but Jabba Chamberlain in New York, not in
0:48
Nebraska. So I got Speedy here.
0:50
I got my board up guy, Mr. Tommy Scoop.
0:54
Oops. We got the old and very mature
0:58
40 year old old ladies and gentlemen, birthday boy as it's
1:01
been a week at 40, Mr. Fish, Mr. Aaron Fish Fishman.
1:06
So there you go, remember? And, and the myth is back there.
1:10
He's hanging out. He's hopefully not doing this.
1:14
I got to go back off now. We got to get we got to stay

1:36
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what's keeping me up right now.
1:38
This, this pill is killing me, man.
1:40
I'm drowsing, I'm drowsy, but I've got Hershey's milk
1:45
chocolate melt in your mouth, not in your hands, so I've got
1:50
that. I've been eating my big
1:51
chocolate bar, keeping me wide awake and ready to recharge.
1:58
That that's a bunch of garbage. That stuff will melt in your
2:00
hands, I guarantee you. It's melt in my mouth, man.
2:04
It's melt in my mouth. But I will say this, I I'll
2:07
never take that thing again. Brittany was like, oh, it
2:10
doesn't. It doesn't doesn't make you
2:11
drowsy, dude. I've been drowsy since the
2:14
beginning of the show. I I'm very surprised my eyes are
2:16
open right now, but I'm here, ladies and gentlemen, I'm, I'm a
2:20
soldier. I'm a soldier.
2:22
Anyways, we call this call your shot.
2:26
I'm not an X's and O's guy, right?
2:28
I'm not a tactician. I'm a motivator in the classic
2:31
sense of the word. You know, Lombardi, Charles
2:32
Lindbergh, that nun over in India, like those people call
2:36
your shot. All right guys, here's call your
2:44
shots. This is one of our newer ish
2:48
segments. If you haven't, you don't
2:51
remember how we do it. We're going to make some a
2:53
little outlandish predictions that Vegas might frown upon the
2:57
odds of, but we're pretty sure are going to happen.
3:01
It's time for us to call our shots.
3:04
What's the order, Errol? All right, let's go.
3:06
The speedster, the fishter and then me.
3:09
Here we go. All right, so Jabba did one the
3:12
last time we did this segment on Nebraska basketball winning a
3:14
tournament. So I'm going to go to a
3:15
different tournament game. I'm going to go a different Big
3:17
10 team that I'm going to go quite the opposite that I think
3:20
is going to be a. Fraudulent one.
3:22
There are five really good ones right now with Michigan I think
3:25
is great, Nebraska and Illinois along with Nebraska's or
3:29
Jabba's, Nebraska's Huskers. And the one that I think is a
3:31
bit fraudulent is Michigan State.
3:34
And the reason I say that they're not a great 3 point
3:35
shooting team. Their offensive efficiency
3:37
rating is barely top 50 in the country for a 7th ranked team.
3:41
They are the number seven team in the Ken Palm rankings, which
3:43
is a big analytic that a lot of college basketball the people
3:46
use and usually a top ten team in that usually wins the title.
3:49
But the pattern also for Michigan State a year after they
3:53
make the final four. And I've gotten I've gotten bit
3:55
by this many times. Or do very.
3:57
Well, like they got to the Elite 8 last year, they usually drop
3:59
off the next year. So I'm going to say Michigan
4:01
State basketball. Will be out in the first.
4:04
Weekend either to a seven seed or a ten seed.
4:06
If they're a two seed, or if they're a one seed to an 8 or 9
4:09
seed, they will lose in the first weekend.
4:12
Well, that's going against some Izzo traditions there, but I.
4:16
I've fallen for his teams a lot. I I picked them in some of the
4:19
wrong years and usually they don't do well back-to-back
4:22
years. That's.
4:23
A good point. I got a real outlandish one.
4:26
I was reading this article. Errol, I'm going to say that
4:31
disgruntled might be the nicest way to put it.
4:34
Disgruntled Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman.
4:38
Who? Got healthy, scratched I think
4:41
four or five times late in the season just from attitude
4:46
issues. We don't really know exactly
4:48
what it was, but he now has a new head coach and it's his
4:53
offensive coordinator. Here's a quote from Joe Brady.
4:58
Keon Coleman is going to be a Buffalo Bill.
5:00
I told Keon when I got hired, the best thing that happened to
5:03
Keon Coleman was me being his head coach.
5:07
I was one of the ones that stood on the table for Keon Coleman
5:11
and I believe in Keon Coleman. I believe Joe Brady's going to
5:15
force the ball to Keon Coleman a lot next season.
5:19
I'm going to predict 7 plus touchdowns for Keon Coleman in
5:25
the 2026 season and over 800 receiving yards.
5:30
We know where fish is going to go in the later rounds of
5:32
fantasy. You better believe it.
5:35
I mean he burned me bad this year.
5:37
I took him everywhere this year so may as well do it again.
5:41
All right, I'm going to call my shot and I'm going to go to the
5:44
UFC, ladies and gentlemen, and Ilya Tapore.
5:48
Tapore, or that's how he pronounces his name.
5:50
The lightweight champion is taking a break, and obviously
5:55
he's getting a divorce. He's dealing with that.
5:57
And he has two children. He wanted to spend some time.
6:00
So the interim championship held was held this past weekend where
6:05
Gagey fought Patty Pimblet. And obviously, Gagey wins.
6:10
Indecision, busts up Patty Pimblet.
6:12
But here's what my prediction is.
6:15
Justin Gagey will not be healthy to fight Ilya Toporia at the
6:24
White House. And Toporia is supposed to fight
6:27
his first fight at the first fight to come back to defend his
6:30
title against the interim champion besides himself, and
6:34
that's Gagey. Gagey will not fight him.
6:37
It will be Patty Pimlip who Ilia Taporia attacked after the fight
6:43
of USC 3/24 and was taking shots at him.
6:46
Oh, you lost against 38 year old.
6:48
And I think Dana White would absolutely sell the hell out of
6:51
this. Ilia Taporia, the champion
6:54
versus Patty Pimlet for the lightweight championship of the
6:57
world at the White House. OK, ladies and gentlemen, it
7:01
will not be just engaging. It will be Patty Pimlet and
7:04
it'll be a last minute thing. And Patty is the one that's
7:07
going to step in. Patty the Patty.
7:08
And guess what? He beats Ilya Taporia and wins
7:13
the title and he actually finally wins his championship.
7:16
That's my prediction, ladies and gentlemen.
7:18
So we'll see how it works. I know everybody probably thinks
7:21
I'm crazy. The UFC fan probably thinks I'm
7:23
a little crazy. But I think that Patty learned
7:27
from that loss against Gagey and I to me, he should have taken
7:31
Gagey down. If he took Gagey down and
7:33
dominated the floor, dominant, dominated the ground and ground
7:36
and pound like he's done so many times with, first of all, he
7:40
walks at £200, he cuts 50 lbs every time he fights.
7:44
It's pretty amazing. I think Ilya Taporia is very
7:48
small. If Patty's this size, I don't
7:50
know if Taporia has the punching power to do what Gagey did in
7:55
that fight. I think Taporia loses this fight
7:57
if he fights. If he fights Pimlit, I think
8:00
matchups and make fights and styles make fights.
8:03
I think this this might go in Patty Pimplet's favorite.
8:07
Patty, the Patty. Give me Patty.
8:09
That's all I'm going to say. Yeah, that was a good one.
8:12
I I was thinking about where I was going to go, and nobody
8:15
really uses UFC stuff, so I had to do that.
8:18
All right, our ladies and gentlemen, our NBA Roundtable.
8:21
It's time to hit the NBA Roundtable.
8:24
We have a few big stories, couple of small ones.
8:28
The biggest 1 though, Giannis Antenna Kupo is officially on
8:34
the trade market trade deadline next Thursday, 4 PMI believe.
8:39
So it looks like we're going to have a resolution now.
8:42
He is out injured 4 to six weeks, allegedly with another
8:47
calf injury. It's the second calf injury this
8:50
season for Giannis. We know what calf injuries can
8:54
force foretell, but there's going to be some team, in fact a
8:58
number of teams who are going to want to take a shot that even if
9:02
he's not 100%, I mean, you got you got to try to get Giannis
9:08
into the fold. The Knicks, the Warriors, the
9:11
Spurs, the the Heat are all being named the contenders.
9:18
And there's a real rumor out there that Giannis wants to play
9:22
with Anthony Edwards. Errol.
9:25
Yeah, I think there's a very good chance it could be the
9:29
Timberwolves. They've got a lot of young
9:30
talent. They have a good farm system.
9:32
They have got a, they still have their draft picks.
9:35
Here's the thing. I think that the the New York
9:38
Knicks are going to make a run at him.
9:41
I don't think they're going to overpay for him.
9:43
I think there's a better chance that Miami lands him out of all
9:46
the teams because it's Pat Riley.
9:48
They're looking for that next superstar.
9:50
I like Bam autobayo. Bam Autobayo would definitely be
9:54
in that trade. I don't care what anybody says,
9:56
they're going to have to move Bam if they're going to get
9:58
Giannis. They keep hero.
9:59
Bam would be the centerpiece that have to trade a ton of
10:02
draft stock and does Giannis want to go there?
10:06
Because I don't know if he's going to be able to win even
10:08
with that roster. But I think it's Knicks one,
10:13
Miami two. Put it, you know, and I listen,
10:16
Anthony Edwards, yes, but they're good right now.
10:18
The Timberwolves are fine. I think the Timberwolves will
10:21
make one or two trades. They have a tremendous roster
10:23
and Julius Randall's been up and down this year, but I think come
10:26
to closer to the playoffs in the second-half of the season.
10:29
I expect this team to play at a top level.
10:31
I do not believe the Timberwolves will make that
10:33
trade. Minnesota is interesting
10:35
because. They like we're talking about
10:37
with the hockey segment with the Dallas Stars.
10:38
They're the team that's been, it's the two conference finals
10:40
in a row, but haven't gotten to the finals in the NBA.
10:42
So are they ready to go for one more big swing?
10:45
Obviously Towns and Edwards didn't get along.
10:47
So and obviously Towns kind of melted in that Dallas series.
10:50
So they traded in the Knicks and we've seen him be up and down in
10:53
the playoffs for the Knicks this this past year too.
10:55
So is that the move that they're to try to make to get somebody
10:58
that doesn't have to take ball pressure off of Anthony Edwards
11:01
Now the Knicks, the Rockets and the Spurs, those are the three
11:03
teams that have the draft picks comparatively.
11:05
It's interesting to see if the Spurs want to mess with what's
11:07
working for them right now because they're the number two
11:09
seed in the Western Conference right now.
11:11
Houston's kind of a 45 fringe. So maybe they would be the one
11:14
more likely to make the swing. But I agree that the Knicks
11:15
definitely are the favorites. I Miami.
11:17
It's kind of a weird fit. I don't think it would really
11:19
work and buy them on a bio Miles Turner, practically the same
11:21
player. I don't know if Milwaukee would
11:22
want that back. And the Warriors, I think
11:24
they're just desperate, I don't think.
11:27
Man, I just am just so worried that Karl Anthony Towns is
11:31
irked, allegedly irked by these trade rumors.
11:37
It'd be nice if he didn't suck right now.
11:39
He's playing a lot worse than he did last year.
11:42
He's still good, but his shooting, his three-point
11:45
shooting has come back down to earth.
11:47
He was well over 40% last year. He's at like 3637 right now,
11:51
which is good, not great and his the rest of his numbers are his
11:55
rebound numbers have come down. I don't know.
11:59
And I and then every time they matched up him and Giannis,
12:01
Giannis just destroys him. Just he's like, oh really?
12:05
You're going to give me this guy?
12:06
I I don't know if Katz really a winning player when it comes
12:11
down to it and he has a big cap number going forwards.
12:16
It might make. Sense to.
12:18
Try to move him in this deal and he would be the best guy anyone
12:22
would be able to give back to Milwaukee.
12:25
There's a second piece of. This.
12:27
Knicks, The fact that the Knicks may be trying to lure somebody
12:31
over there to make it more palatable for Giannis to come.
12:35
The Knicks are interested in Drew Holiday coming over here
12:39
now. Drew Holiday is 35 years old,
12:43
right? And he, as you know, used to
12:45
play with with Giannis, he's on this kind of surprising Portland
12:49
team this year. Good young team.
12:52
He's not really on the same schedule as them with his
12:56
career. It would make sense for them to
12:58
try to get assets for him, for him, young players that can
13:01
contribute to a young core. The Knicks could use somebody to
13:06
kind of hide some of Brunson's deficiencies along the
13:10
perimeter, considering if they have towns you have guys with.
13:14
And I think this has been the problem.
13:16
He got deficiencies in the big man part and he got deficiencies
13:19
of the point guard. You need to get some more
13:21
defense out there. What do you think about adding
13:24
Drew Holiday possibly doing that to get Giannis?
13:27
I think it's a slam dunk. If you're trying to draw a
13:30
superstar player, you're going to have to bring one of his
13:32
boys. We saw that Jalen Brunson when
13:35
he came in here. I obviously Leon Rose wanted to
13:37
make sure that a guy like Jalen Brunson would be happy.
13:40
Then he decided to bring in heart.
13:42
Then he brought in obviously, you know, the, the, the elites
13:47
and, and now look what they have.
13:48
They have Mikhail Bridges, they they have all these Villanova
13:51
guys. Now I could see them trying to
13:54
draw a guy like Giannis and and Drew Holiday still can play.
13:58
He's a great defender. He's one of the elite defenders
14:00
at the perimeter. You can move them on multiple
14:02
positions, especially the two he he gets in on you.
14:05
He gets on in on your hands. He's one of the best at doing
14:07
that and he still can shoot barely.
14:09
So I I think it's a good move for the Knicks.
14:12
They add a veteran personality to the locker room and they're
14:14
going to need that leadership because obviously when you have
14:17
Jalen Brunson calling a team meeting, that doesn't sound or
14:21
doesn't bowl well for the organization.
14:22
So, and I'm not saying that Jalen Brunson isn't a good
14:25
speaker. I just don't know if he's more
14:26
of that leading type. They need somebody that has that
14:29
experience and and has has won before and I think Drew
14:33
Holiday's the guy. Yeah, even when he was in New
14:35
Orleans too, when he got traded over there to Milwaukee
14:37
initially, they lost a lot of leadership when they got Bledsoe
14:40
instead and Anthony Davis got traded as a result.
14:43
Zion really never developed. They really didn't have anyone
14:45
there either. And Milwaukee, you're seeing it
14:47
now has really lost a lot since Drew Holiday was in that deal
14:51
with just to get Damian Lillard. And then you saw, I think now
14:55
with the Knicks, you're seeing that you really have a lot of
14:57
specialists on the bench at this point.
14:59
We talked about it last week. Jordan Clarkson's kind of been
15:00
out of the rotation because he struggled on offense and he's
15:03
never been a good defender anyway.
15:04
And now Drew Holiday is that perfect, I think filler in that
15:07
point. Then for another incentive, you
15:08
have six days to make it work. But it definitely could help
15:10
Giannis. You can not only get there, but
15:12
sign back there as well. You know, the Bucks at one point
15:15
is a speedy telling. I think it's three years ago.
15:17
Maybe it was two years ago. They had a coach named Adrian
15:20
Griffin. Yeah, two years and they fired.
15:23
They fired him mid season. They were 30 and 13 and replaced
15:27
him with Doc Rivers I. Remember that very.
15:30
Well, I, I, it's, I mean, you can kind of draw a line right to
15:35
that moment as what they, and then they traded guys away.
15:39
They let guys go from the championship team.
15:41
It all changed when they decided to part ways with Budenholzer.
15:45
That was it. Yeah.
15:46
As soon as as soon as they fired Budenholzer and he was the coach
15:51
when they won the championship, it changed everything for that
15:53
organization. And and Budenholzer is now
15:56
coaching and and still, you know, being as elite as he
16:00
always is. And I think he's I Budenholzer
16:02
will be, he's not a head coach yet, but he'll he'll get another
16:06
head coaching job very soon. I wouldn't be surprised.
16:09
All right, let's let's talk about one of the more surprising
16:13
stories in the NBA. We were ragging on this team at
16:18
the beginning of the season. The LA Clippers started the year
16:21
6 and 21, well, let's call it now. 16 and 316 and four in
16:30
their last 20 games. They are the 10 seed in the
16:34
Western Conference, which means they're in the play in game.
16:37
Kawhi Leonard is leading the NBA during this stretch in points
16:42
per game at 32 points per game. James Harden is, you know, I
16:46
guess in shape for James Harden these days and playing I, I, I
16:50
mean, I'm not going to pretend like.
16:52
He's got to get in shape for in for in three months when he has
16:55
to sell the playoff tickets. But you know, he's got this,
16:59
he's got like the guard version of the old man game already
17:02
built in, right Errol, like he's got all these step back, extra
17:06
footstep type moves that it used to always be like, you know, the
17:11
the old man game was just a low post thing.
17:14
You know, like you got like an old guy play with everybody.
17:17
You can do things in the post, pass out of the post.
17:19
Now with the types of moves Harden has added to the league,
17:23
he may play for a very long time if he could stay in Hardin shape
17:28
ish. Well, we call him fatten so
17:32
because anyways, here, here's the facts.
17:36
Kawhi Leonard is finally playing on an elite level.
17:39
When he came here, he had knee problems, he had leg problems.
17:42
He has not been 100% healthy since he came from the Raptors
17:45
and helped the Raptors win their first title.
17:48
I'm going to tell you this right now, if Kawhi Leonard is at a
17:50
top level, you watch out. They can absolutely be scary in
17:53
the playoffs. You do not want to be matched up
17:55
with them. It's not James Harden I'd be
17:57
worried about, it's Kawhi Leonard.
17:58
He is a beast and if I were the Clippers, I would use him as a
18:03
trade ship. They're not because they'll
18:05
probably believe all the way because they have an idiot coach
18:08
and we all know who he is, who I'm not a big fan of.
18:12
I can see that idiot coach trying to feed them any thought
18:15
that they're going to win a championship and maybe, maybe
18:18
they will. We'll see.
18:19
But I think the coach is a moron and I think Kawhi is special so.
18:23
Yeah, they're being stuck in like consistent, like mediocrity
18:26
for quite a while. They're they're always just
18:29
short when they're good, and then they're always never bad
18:31
enough to get anywhere. And now they're kind of stuck in
18:32
the sense of false hope when they don't have a team that's
18:34
not good and like Errol saying, a coach that's a moron and is.
18:38
Big moron. I remember the guy that used to
18:40
be with our network and Trey Larkins thought he was a top
18:42
three coach in the NBA, which I thought he was not.
18:44
Trey, don't. I miss that.
18:46
Yes, he thought that at the time.
18:48
I I don't believe he's, he'll be thinking that.
18:50
Anymore. Look, a buddy is on the
18:51
television right now. Oh.
18:53
Look at that. Which brings us to.
18:56
With his yellow shirt. With a great reminder of James
18:58
Harden's time with the Brooklyn Nets selling playoff tickets
19:00
outside. If they even make it to the play
19:02
in tournament and that's all they're going to get to at this
19:04
point. Maybe they should sell or maybe
19:06
should give away some fattened shirts.
19:08
They don't have to. They can.
19:09
They can use that. They can use it.
19:11
They they can. They don't need to sell them.
19:13
They could use all the money they're getting from Steve
19:15
Ballmer's fake company. Interesting.
19:17
Oh man, if you think Steve Ballmer and I've been saving
19:21
this one up, our buddy Pablo Torre did some more
19:23
investigations and he found out there's a worse owner by far
19:28
than what Steve Ballmer was doing.
19:30
And it happens to be the guy named Robert Para, the Memphis
19:34
Grizzlies owner. So the story goes that there was
19:40
a six month investigation into the company that Pera owns, a
19:46
tech company called Ubiquity, which has a long range wireless
19:50
communication equipment. Now, the NBA never really found
19:54
out where he got his money from. They knew he was a tech guy.
19:59
He's apparently selling his wireless communication equipment
20:05
to the Russian army. Oh boy.
20:07
And which is completely against U.S. sanctions and very, very
20:13
illegal. He's going to get in a lot of
20:16
trouble. But there's more stories about
20:18
this weirdo para that might interest you.
20:21
This is called the Justin Timberlake story.
20:24
He got so angry after he purchased the Grizzlies that
20:29
somebody said that Justin Timberlake's frequent
20:32
appearances really bothered him. So he had, he made sure he
20:36
bought out Justin Timberlake as an owner because he was insecure
20:41
that Justin Timberlake was more important than him in his own
20:45
arena. And then we have this Tony Allen
20:48
story, which is just, I mean, he challenged Tony Allen in 2013 to
20:56
a game of one-on-one. Oh boy, for charity.
21:00
He thought he was a good basketball player.
21:03
This owner, Pretty sure he's probably short regardless, not
21:08
an NBA player. Tony Allen.
21:11
They everyone. The coach, Dave Yeager tried to
21:15
get them as bad as they could. Not to fight, not to have this
21:18
game. Apparently when the game was
21:20
cancelled, he tried to fire the coach Yeager and insisted on the
21:26
upper management doing it. The move was blocked at the
21:29
time, but as you know, they eventually did fire him and.
21:32
They hired Nick's legend David Fizdale.
21:35
And, you know, there's other things about like, kind of like
21:38
his weird stance with John Morant, how strict he was.
21:43
Apparently we have a pretty renegade owner in the NBA Arrow.
21:48
What it tells me is eventually the players are going to be
21:51
involved and he is probably going to lose his ownership.
21:56
I mean, everything that you're hearing right now, it just tells
21:58
you there is some kind of, you know, some kind of secrets going
22:04
on in the back end of the NBA ownerships.
22:07
And this has been going on for a while.
22:09
I mean, think about it in Phoenix, it was going on, it was
22:12
going on with the Clippers. And now you're hearing the
22:14
Memphis Grizzlies. What's next?
22:17
And and by the way, don't the Memphis Grizzlies have a player
22:20
over there that can't stay out of trouble?
22:22
I mean, maybe he should try to control his players instead of
22:26
trying to sell computer programs and computer, you know, stuff to
22:31
the Russians and giving them an opportunity to use that against
22:35
us. I mean, it's pathetic honestly.
22:38
This guy is worse than any of those owners that lost their
22:41
their ownership. This guy is a bad dude and he
22:44
should absolutely been pushed be pushed out of the NBA.
22:47
Yeah. This is somebody that's getting
22:49
involved with international conflict and probably like the
22:52
worst we've seen in this last 15 years or so with that country
22:56
you're trying to get involved with.
22:58
And those leaders over there, there are even leaders, but.
23:02
With a, what did you say wireless like routing company
23:05
like that sounds as fake as it gets.
23:07
It sounds shady. Is that the kind of technology
23:10
and then you're trying to? Spread it around.
23:11
So who knows if he's just Russia at this point.
23:13
We we thought the NBA the betting scandal was crazy as how
23:16
many mobsters and mafia. And countries.
23:20
They were getting involved in and now you're dealing with this
23:22
thing. Yeah, this is absolutely
23:23
something you should be forced out for.
23:25
And. And Tony, you're fighting
23:26
one-on-one with Tony Allen. Think you're some kind of hot,
23:29
hot basketball player. What do you, Lavar Ball, try to
23:31
go up one-on-one with Michael Jordan?
23:33
Yeah, that's going to work well. All right, I got and the last
23:36
thing is, is not a ton. I mean, we could talk about
23:39
LeBron if you want. You saw LeBron crying.
23:43
You saw him in his last game maybe ever in Cleveland.
23:49
I mean, I personally don't buy it, but maybe it is.
23:53
Maybe it isn't his last and you think that's it for LeBron?
23:55
This is his last year. Is it looking like that?
23:58
I don't think so, and I'm going to tell you why.
24:00
He still has other records that he wants to break and he has a
24:03
chance to break him if he plays another season.
24:06
There's I think there's a record that he's second place in right
24:09
now and 4th place in another record that he has a chance to
24:13
break if he plays one more season.
24:16
I think LeBron comes back for one more year.
24:18
So last year in in Cleveland, No, I, it might be the last year
24:24
with the Lakers. I, I think he could be playing
24:26
for another roster, another team, another organization for
24:29
at least one more year. We'll see how that goes.
24:31
I I think LeBron also wants to see if he can get that fifth
24:34
championship to tie Kobe. He doesn't have that and that's
24:38
his goal. That's always been his goal.
24:40
He's not going to catch Jordan, but he might be able to catch
24:43
Kobe and that's where I think he's going to go.
24:45
Yeah, if he's trying to get that championship, maybe he does end
24:47
up with Cleveland. I mean, I don't know if there's
24:49
any other teams that are in that championship contending mode
24:52
that would go after him. I am at this point, and maybe
24:54
Houston, but that means Kevin Durant's gonna have way too much
24:56
influence with that team and that could ruin that team very
24:58
easily too. They're building something.
24:59
Well, he's not gonna go to the Spurs or OK C or anything like
25:02
that. So Cleveland will probably be
25:03
the best shot. I think there's still a tough
25:05
that's still a top three team in the East this year, even though
25:06
I haven't played as good. But yeah, I think he's
25:09
definitely his last year with the Lakers.
25:10
If he just wants to play one year with his buddies, he'll
25:12
probably, you'll probably be right with your first.
25:13
Call yourself Errol and maybe he ends up with the Dallas
25:15
Mavericks. Who knows?
25:16
All right. And the very last one we've got,
25:19
the Rising Stars rosters were revealed.
25:24
Now they've they've gotten to the point with these games that
25:29
it's just like you don't even know what you're watching
25:31
anymore. There's four teams, all right.
25:34
Carmelo Anthony has a team, T Mac has a team, Vince Carter has
25:39
a team. And the fourth team is a bunch
25:43
of G League players, including Trail Blazers draft pick the big
25:49
the the Chinese Yokich Yang Hansen and Clippers center
25:55
Yannick Conan Niederhauser. All right, Ron Harper junior's
26:00
on that team, but let me read you who the top picks were.
26:04
Of course, Carmelo Anthony made Cooper flag the number one
26:07
overall pick in the Rising Stars game.
26:10
He may surprise you. Yeah, I'll do the Carmelo
26:13
licking my lips every time he has something.
26:17
The Carmelo Anthony. He likes licking his lips.
26:20
Because he drinks so much red wine and just gets like that,
26:23
that kind of taste. The second guy, I'd like to know
26:26
how many times I'd like to. I'd like to know how many times
26:30
he eats honey and not Cheerios. And so did Kevin Garnett.
26:35
I'd probably more than Charles Barkley does.
26:38
Con canople yes was the second pick in this draft.
26:42
You could argue he should have been first.
26:45
And some people made that argument concanuble.
26:50
Same team as Cooper. Flag last friends.
26:53
Roommates. Having an unbelievable rookie
26:56
season, no one really thought he'd come to the league and take
26:59
it by storm like this. The third pick was VJ Edgecomb,
27:04
who has been excellent for the Sixers.
27:08
Seems to be they have a really nice backcourt for the future.
27:13
And then the 4th pick is a really interesting player who at
27:17
the time the trade seemed really crazy what they made.
27:20
They traded an unprotected to move up to take Derek Queen.
27:23
Derek Queen is the 4th pick in this draft.
27:26
So Derek Queen went in the teens in the in the NBA draft last
27:31
year. So that's obviously pretty
27:33
impressive. Other guys, Reed Shepherds in
27:36
this game, Stefan Castle, last year's rookie of the year,
27:39
Jeremiah Fears, Donovan Klingen, the UConn champion, and Raptors
27:44
forward Colin Murray, Boyles. That's Mellow's team.
27:47
Along with Cooper Flag. We got Knupel, Kell Ware, Trey
27:53
Johnson and Alex Sarr from the Wizards.
27:56
AJ Mitchell By the way, if you haven't paid attention to AJ
27:59
Mitchell on the Oklahoma City Thunder, he's just they just
28:02
find these guys and this guy's like maybe a top 100 player in
28:07
the league already. Second year, unbelievable.
28:10
Jalen Tyson and Cam Spencer. Vince Carter's team is Edgecombe
28:15
Queen, Haishan Jordan, George Boozelis, Nets, Nets point
28:21
guard, the future Igor Demen and Cedric Coward and Jalen Wells
28:26
from Memphis. And again that game they'll
28:29
have. The four teams will play 3
28:31
games. The winners of the first two
28:33
games will play in the 3rd to determine the champion.
28:36
Friday the 13th of February. Is is Jason and Freddie playing?
28:44
It might look like that out on the court.
28:46
Probably it's as ugly as it can be.
28:50
Who cares? Honestly, who cares?
28:53
I I mean. What do you think about the
28:55
canoople thing though? The canoople thing is
28:57
fascinating that he's this good. I think canoople I I knew all
29:01
about canoople. Now I don't think he's anywhere
29:04
close to the talent Cooper flag is, but con canoople can shoot
29:07
the ball. He's definitely the best shooter
29:09
in this class. It's not even an argument and
29:12
he's proven that over there with the Charlotte Hornets and I
29:15
balls playing playing pretty good.
29:17
I mean, the Hornets have a good future if they, if they could
29:20
build their team around this youth and this talent, give them
29:23
another year or two, they're going to be able to compete with
29:25
all the top teams in, in the East.
29:27
So I, I'm interested to see where the where the Hornets are
29:32
going to be. But I'm not surprised.
29:35
I, I think the two best teams, I mean, the two best players is
29:38
Konkanupal and, and Flag. So not.
29:41
Surprised. Yeah, it's a lot of these teams,
29:42
like first you mentioned the Wizards, like they've started to
29:44
rise now, but it's not really a great team overall.
29:46
The Hornets Konkanupal definitely has a case for the
29:49
Rookie of the Year this year for sure.
29:51
Pelicans to have a couple young ones.
29:52
You mentioned Queen fears I like a lot.
29:54
Of Cooper flags going to win. Yeah, he's going to.
29:56
Probably, probably, but again, Canoople definitely making a
30:00
good case. I was I was fine with them
30:01
taking 4 because they never draft shooters at all.
30:03
They always draft these weird big men prototypes.
30:05
And I'm not surprised Canoople is playing as well as he.
30:08
So they're playing each other right now as we speak.
30:11
It's late in the third quarter. You got to hear the stat lines
30:14
of the two of them. Flag is sitting at 40 points in
30:17
28 minutes, 16 of 23 hits, hit two threes, has seven boards, 2
30:23
assists. Knupel has 28 points on 9 of 13
30:27
shooting, 83 pointers, 8 of 11 from 3-4 rebounds, 3 assists.
30:32
The two of them have a whole quarter left to play with those
30:35
numbers and it's a 3 point game you're going to.
30:38
It's going to be a box score you want to check out.
30:42
So that's it for the round table for tonight, boys.
30:45
I'm a Duke guy, so I'm rooting for both those guys.
30:48
I want them all to succeed and I'm not surprised.
30:51
And I'm telling you guys right now, Cam Boozer is the best
30:54
player in this class and you can book it.
30:57
You can book it. He's better than Cooper Flag.
30:59
He has a better talent than Cooper Flag, and that's crazy to
31:02
say that. So I'm telling you, whoever
31:05
passes up on him, he's going to be the best one in this class.
31:09
I'm just telling you, I'm not lying.
31:12
That's how good he is. All right, we call this.
31:15
What's that smell? Hold on, what is that smell?
31:18
What's that? Smell.
31:25
Wow, you don't see that every day.
31:27
Pass Liquor. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
31:30
I got a little hold on hold. On I love Lisa Ann that's.
31:33
The good one right there or a little of hold on, hold on, hold
31:37
on. Suck my indoor I.
31:38
Like to suck my indoor one too? Or or.
31:41
Thumb up my ass. Well, that's what Nathan's doing
31:43
right now as we speak. On his sofa or on his sofa?
31:46
Or maybe he's always looking at Lee sad.
31:48
That's right as. He's scoop sits on the shitter.
31:50
There he goes, and he's probably dreaming about scoops right now,
31:54
but anyway. But wait, Nathan sits on the
31:55
shitter. He also looks really sad, yes.
31:57
He does poops, gets no coots. Well, does Nathan?
32:00
I don't know. Double fisting.
32:03
Well, somebody's going to double fist him, if you know what I
32:05
mean. I love them.
32:06
Or we got this one. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
32:09
A lot of hot ladies. I like that one.
32:11
I do a lot of hot ladies or I'll talk to.
32:14
Brittany breaking news. I need Brittany also.
32:17
All right, ladies and gentlemen, what's that smell is our final
32:21
segment on that. There he is, Nathans Care, Care
32:24
Bear. He is a Care Bear, whatever that
32:28
thing is. Anyways.
32:30
So what we do, what we do in this segment is pretty simple.
32:34
We're going around in a circle. We're going to go around in a
32:37
circle. You see, I'm a little, little
32:39
ditzy now. And what we're going to do is
32:42
we're going to tell you a story and we're going to tell you what
32:44
it smells like. So tonight we're going to go
32:46
Speedy. We're going to go poops.
32:48
We're going to go fish. We're going to go me.
32:50
No, Jabba tonight. We love you, Jabba.
32:52
We'll see you on Monday. I'll see you this weekend.
32:54
Here we go. All right, so I'll start it off
32:56
in a with a university in the state that Nissan lives in right
32:59
now and that is Rutgers University of report came out of
33:02
just how much they've lost since they've joined the Big 10 since
33:06
it's 2014, 2015 season. I guess power conferences are
33:09
not for everybody. They their athletic department
33:11
has lost a combined. $517 million, this includes gainings
33:16
$58.9 million media deal when the Big 10 obviously expanded
33:20
back in 2024 and they've got $200 million with the increase
33:25
with the Big 10 revenue. And amidst all that they stole
33:29
net loss $517,000,000. And they've obviously have some
33:32
good coaches within their program now with Greg Schiano
33:34
with their football team, but he got a big contract and Steve
33:36
Pykel with the with the basketball team.
33:38
But still it hasn't gotten to many places.
33:40
Their athletic programs have not really amounted to much in the
33:43
Big 10. Not the same football
33:45
powerhouses in the past. When they were one of the good
33:48
Group of Five schools in the past when they had Ray Rice in
33:50
those teams. So what does that smell like?
33:52
I'm going to because it's New Jersey.
33:54
We got to keep the Niton theme and it smells like 517 Scarlet
33:57
Knights, the bloodshed of them when they've just been defeated
34:00
by Nathan's leash. Well, all right, sweetie, Always
34:07
with his very, very interesting smells.
34:11
I'm going to be going over to some NFL and I'm going to be
34:13
talking and poking fun a little bit, specifically at wide
34:16
receiver Tyler Lockett. Not too much fun, only because I
34:19
actually do really enjoy this guy.
34:20
I've always, I've always thought this guy was a pretty good wide
34:22
receiver. Tyler Lockett.
34:24
However, it's more of the UN series of unfortunate events
34:28
because his entire career, his entire tenure, has solely been
34:33
sandwiched in between the Seahawks 2 Super Bowl
34:36
appearances. He got onto the team the year
34:39
right after they lost to the Patriots, and just this year he
34:42
exited to the Titans right before the Seahawks go right
34:45
back to the Super Bowl 10 years after basically.
34:48
Even on top of that, he didn't have that great of a year.
34:50
You know, he actually was with the Titans.
34:52
Got only started one game, played seven games, got traded
34:55
mid season, and only caught one touchdown pass the entire year
35:00
on the Raiders. I mean, that's not entirely like
35:02
surprising. The Raiders are absolute
35:03
garbage. But yeah, it's, it's kind of,
35:05
it's kind of heartbreaking. To see a grumpy old man.
35:07
Someone with Tyler Locky, you know, he was such a good player,
35:09
like I said, over in the early days in Seattle, and it's
35:12
somewhat hard to see that now. He's just not going to be able
35:14
to play in the. Super Bowl.
35:16
So what does it smell like? Well, it smells like whatever
35:19
those nasty ass avocado martinis that Tom Brady was over there
35:23
drinking when he was celebrating in.
35:25
Series I don't. I don't know what avocado
35:28
martinis smell like, but they have to smell like avocado ass I
35:31
hope. Not.
35:33
There we go. That's.
35:35
That's yeah. All right, I'll go.
35:37
This story is a doozy. So you remember the honey
35:41
badger, Errol? Yes, I do.
35:44
So the Honey Badger opened up on his podcast.
35:46
I heard about this. In the in the Bayou with Tehran,
35:50
Matthew in about 18 minutes and he said he nearly died drinking
35:56
bleach in an attempt to pass a drug test at LSU.
36:02
Apparently he had been searching a way to pass the test when
36:05
eating A suggestion online said to drink Coca-Cola with a little
36:11
bit of bleach mixed into it. I ended up throwing.
36:15
That's up, Matthew said. And at that point, I'm like,
36:19
man, F it. I've run out of tricks.
36:21
I don't know what to do. I remember sitting in front of
36:24
that building with an effing cap full of bleach and a Coke
36:27
bottle, and I thought that was going to save my life.
36:30
It didn't. It backfired.
36:34
He, as you remember, got in trouble in that year.
36:38
I guess this is probably part of the reason why we're finding out
36:42
today. He's lucky he's not.
36:43
He ended up getting taken in the third round, obviously went on
36:46
to have a fantastic career in the NFL Hall of Fame.
36:49
I guess he can look back and laugh at it now.
36:52
But yeah, I mean, that's just one of the all time dumb things
36:58
kids do. Like just the worst thing you
37:01
can do. I actually had a kid that I
37:02
taught and I obviously not in the names is like 10 years ago,
37:06
but I tried to get him to play football and he told me he
37:08
couldn't. He had a medical and I was like,
37:09
what do you mean he had a medical?
37:10
He's like, yeah, I have a hole in my stomach because I drank
37:13
bleach in middle school. I was like, OK, you don't have
37:16
to play for me. I that's completely fine.
37:19
Obviously. What does this smell like?
37:21
Well, it smells like that chlorine smell of bleach of.
37:25
Course it's not about something else in your pants.
37:27
I mean, that's a little bit like that too.
37:29
Well, I mean, Can you imagine like, I guess he had a lot at
37:34
stake back in those days and there was no NIL money back
37:36
then, you know. We should ask him.
37:39
I don't know, maybe we'll get him on the show.
37:42
All right, My final or the final.
37:44
What's that smell is very interesting story and it has to
37:47
go with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dalton Wasserman.
37:51
Wasserman from Football Pro Football Focus recently
37:55
published an update mock draft that has the Steelers taking
37:59
Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round.
38:05
This is not expected to be a deep quarterback class, and
38:09
Fernando Mendoza and Simpson could be the only two first
38:13
round passers. Regarding Simpson and the
38:15
Steelers, Wasserman offered the following Pittsburgh recently
38:20
hired Mike McCarthy. Will that inevitable me be mean
38:25
that fuel speculations that Aaron Rodgers will return?
38:29
Even if Rodgers does return, the Steelers still need to identify
38:34
a long term a long term solution at the quarterback position.
38:38
Opinions on Alabama's Ty Simpson vary, but he he But he posted an
38:45
81.4 PFF passing grade while leading the FBS with 30 big time
38:53
throws in his alone season with the Crimson Tide.
38:59
Well, not surprised that the Pittsburgh Steelers are drafting
39:03
another quarterback in the first round.
39:05
A little bit late and it's probably going to fail.
39:09
Nobody wants Ty. Ty is only going into this
39:13
year's draft because it makes him, makes teams wonder about
39:17
him. Think about it, it's just
39:19
Mendoza going into the first round and now he is the only
39:23
other quality quarterback as far as statistics would tell you
39:27
that could be possibly a first round talent and that's why he
39:31
decided to go and not go back to college and get a little bit
39:34
better with Alabama. You know what it smells like?
39:36
It smells like the Crimson Tides mascot taking a dump.
39:40
How's that? That's about it.
39:42
I mean, honestly, I, I don't know what Ty Simpson's going to
39:46
be or I, I really don't. I, I know that Mike McCarthy got
39:50
this job one because he's from Pittsburgh 2, because Aaron
39:53
Rodgers is there and Aaron Rodgers he plans to bring back
39:57
and he wants to bring in a, a young quarterback to play behind
39:59
him. I just don't know if Simpson is
40:02
the perfect fit. The only reason why he's going
40:05
in this year's draft, if he went in next year's draft class, he's
40:08
a third round draft. He's the third round draft pick.
40:11
He is going into this year's draft pick draft.
40:14
Draft because he is automatically a first round
40:17
talent because of how bad this quarterback class is so good for
40:22
him. Sellers decided to go back.
40:24
Moore decided to go back. That next year's class is
40:28
loaded, absolutely loaded for quarterback.
40:31
So I guess that's where The Jets will be searching for their
40:35
future. Hopefully they don't search too
40:36
long. Anyways, that's it for a show.
40:38
Ladies and gentlemen, give a shout out to Jabba Chamberlain.
40:40
Hopefully he made it here in New York.
40:43
Okay. I will be talking to him, but
40:46

40:49
wondering where he is, he flew from Nebraska to New York.
40:52

41:21
So yeah, it's been, it's been a crazy, crazy, crazy day, man.
41:26
Stress, all stress today. And like I said, I, I, I made
41:31
the wrong decision. That's all I got to say.
41:33
Oh, really, really wrong decision.
41:35
I just put my head back. I seriously probably would have
41:38
felt. Harold was saying one of these.
41:39
He's leaning. Back I was leaning back, I was
41:40
closing my eyes, I was trying and foyer, you know, it's so
41:44
funny because foyer when he was smirking and stuff like that I
41:46
know he was watching me close my eyes.
41:48
So you didn't want to say that, but I it's, it's tiring, man.
41:52
I've never felt like this before.
41:53
So it feels like I'm like on a muscle relaxer and I can't even
41:57
like I'm surprised like my tongue's not hanging out of my
42:01
mouth right now. Anyways, that's it.
42:05
We will see you on Monday. Until then, I have a good
42:08
weekend. Enjoy.
42:10
Well, there's no football on this weekend because we have a,
42:13
you know, Super Bowl 60 next weekend and Nathan's flying over
42:17

42:32
I mean, come on, these guys. Don't give me something.
42:34
Don't give me that it's. Flag football.
42:37
It's gotta say it was flag football before it was flag
42:39
football. Yeah, it's, it's the only flag
42:41
I'm going to be wearing is the one that's going to be up my ass
