Hey, guess what? You just landed on the Sports
Bastards. Sorry about your luck. The Sports Bastards.
The only sports show with gusto. That's right.
I said gusto. Just like Schlitz beer. Google
it. Hi there. This is your ears. Hi there. Why
are you listening to this garbage? Why are you
listening to this garbage? I thought we were
friends. All right. And it looks like our levels
are pretty decent, so. Okay. We are the sports
bastards. Doing bastard -y things. Yes, we are.
In a sportful way. Yes. That's it. Yeah, that's
going to be the next promo. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we
do bastard -ly stuff in a sports. Fashion or
something like that. Or elevating bastardy to
a sport. Something like that. They'll hear the
end result when we figure it out. Yeah, yeah.
Hey, look, we're letting people into the creative
process. Yeah, yeah. You know, that makes them
closer to us when we do this. That's what I read.
Except now I want them to get a little farther
away. Yeah, yeah. They're a little too close
now. Yeah, yeah. We don't like that heavy breathing
stuff. Get on out. Man, I can smell what you
have for dinner. Move. So let's talk about football.
I have the latest injuries as of last night.
Okay, let's go and do it. Oh, okay. Let me start
now. Now, not every team is on here. What I did
is I found the teams that have people that are
going to miss significant playing time. There's
a number of teams that are like, okay, they're
going to be back next week or it's day -to -day.
I left those people off. So it's not every team
that's going to be on this list, but let's start
with the Arizona Cardinals. They have wide receiver
Kez Watkins on injured reserve out for the season.
Sammy Watkins, brother. Oh, yeah, that's right.
They have Starling Thomas V, the cornerback,
out for the season. With a knee. Okay. Baltimore
Ravens. Ardarius Washington to safety. He's not
expected back until sometime in December. That's
going to ruin some of their depth. Yeah. He's
got an Achilles injury. That's a bad one to have
in that position. That's tough. Buffalo Bills.
Hayden Harris, defensive end. He's on injured
reserve out for the season. No, I skipped down
the line. I'm sorry. Yeah, Hayden Harris is the
only one for Buffalo. Carolina Panthers, Popo
Almavay, a D -tackle. He's also got an Achilles.
He cleared waivers and reverted to injured reserve
on Friday. But the Carolina Panthers, DTE, Poku
Almavay, and running back Jonathan Brooks is
also out for the season on the physically unable
to perform list. So that implies that it's non
-football related injury. Yeah, and sometimes
that just means they're not fucking working like
they want to. Yeah, yeah, or they've got a mental
issue or a family crisis. Yeah, family crisis.
The pup is a weird deal because it carries so
much. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of, you know, if
you don't fit in other categories, put them on
the pup list. Yeah, on the pup list, yeah. Cincinnati
Bengals, Eric All, Jr., the tight end. He's out
for the season with a knee injury. The knee injury
happened July 25th in camp. Oh, man. So, let's
see. Cleveland Browns. Michael Woods, the second
wide receiver, out for the season with a hand
injury. See, that's the smart guy on the Browns.
Yeah, no kidding. Martin Emerson, Jr., a corner,
out for the season with an Achilles. Another
smart guy. Yeah. Justin Osborne, the center.
Ozzie's nephew. Yes, yes. Undisclosed injury,
also out for the season. So wide receiver, a
corner, and a center. Just gone. Here's the team
with kind of the most is the Dallas Cowboys.
Their own Yoda is telling people not to worry,
but doesn't he look like Yoda? He does. I mean,
take a look at Jerry Jones doing that little
smirky thing, and he looks just like Yoda when
he's... When we will not. When? Probably never.
Lose sleep over it, do not. Yeah. All right.
Man, you guys are awesome. I'm yelling for you,
and I was like, you can't hear me. Oh, sorry.
Hey, City Market Coffee. Those guys are the bomb.
They always are. Thank you so much. Yes. We were
sitting here with our headphones on, so they
brought our coffee out to us. We couldn't hear
them. This makes me feel like an actual human
being. This is amazing. This is awesome. Isn't
that something? I'm going to sit my coffee down
here because I've been knocking stuff over lately.
All right. The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver,
Paris Campbell. with a knee injury out for the
season. Siobhan Rebel Jr., a corner, unlikely
to be ready for the start of the regular season.
They're listing him as possibly ready on September
4th, but there's like, nah, we just put that.
He could be gone for much longer. He's got a
knee injury as well. Rob Jones, guard. He's not
expected back until the beginning of October.
They didn't list his injury. Cornerback Kalen
Carson, sidelined four to six weeks due to a
hyperextended knee, suffered in practice. Tyler
Guyton, offensive tackle. I know that name. Questionable.
He's dealing with a bone fracture in his right
knee as well as a sprain, but his ACL is intact
and he won't require surgery. But he's probably
going to be out. He's probably not going to make
the beginning of the season. Trevon Diggs, cornerback.
He is out with a knee. He says he's ahead of
schedule on his recovery, and he's aiming for
a September return. He's hoping. It's a knee.
Denver Broncos. Johnny Walker Jr., isn't that
an awesome name? It is. It sounds like a Texas
Ranger. Yeah. Like a real Ranger, not like a
baseball team. If you wanted, like, the alcohol
tie -in, he should have been a Chief, so he could
be Johnny Walker Red. Yeah, that's right. Okay,
anyway, Johnny Walker Jr., linebacker, undisclosed
injury, but he's on the injured reserve for the
season, done, bye. Drew Sanders, also a linebacker.
Torn ligament in his foot. Dion's third cousin.
Yes. Yes. And the Colonel's great -great -grandson.
Oh, that's right. That's right, yeah. Because
we all know he had a little thing on the extra.
Yep. Remember, the Colonel lived, so we could
kick him. Okay. Have you ever read anything on
him? Supposedly he was a real perv. Oh, gosh.
I remember that. Yeah, like a real perv. I remember
when he sold the name and the rights and everything
to the company that's running it, and they put
carrots in the coleslaw. He was pissed. Oh, I
remember that. He's like, that's not my recipe.
And they're like, well, it adds visual appeal.
It also adds cheapness to it. Yeah. Yes. I agree.
All right. Detroit Lions. Aleem McNeil, D -Tackle.
Out until at least early December with a knee.
Okay. Levi Onwuzurike, Babelsnatch. That would
be a... Defensive end. He underwent surgery for
a torn ACL. He's out for the season. Oh, man,
Babelsnatch is having a bad day. Yeah, so there's
two defensive linemen both out. Wow. That was
their problem last year, too, is they had so
many injuries. I don't know what they're doing.
I don't know. Houston Texans, Keontae Hamilton,
D -tackle, placed on injury reserve August 1st.
It's an ankle injury, but out for the year. Joe
Mixon, running back. He is out with a foot -ankle
injury, and he will be reevaluated. around the
beginning of the season. So they don't even know.
Well, how old is Joe Mixon now? He's been around
quite a while. He's probably over 30, I would
guess. He's a running back. He's taking a large
workload every year. I'm going to wait and see.
Oh, okay. Indy Colts. David Long Jr., cornerback
on injured reserve with a groin injury. Imagine
a groin injury that puts you out for the year.
That's some hellacious groin injury. That's something
that you may not recover from, actually. If it's
going on that long and it's that, oh, what do
you call it, reoccurring, there's a word for
it that I can't remember right now. Chronic?
Chronic, yeah. If it's that chronic, then...
He's probably going to have to smoke some chronic
to get over the pain. Oh, I'm sure he is right
now. Yeah. Before I eat Doritos. Hey, if you're
on injured reserve, they probably don't drug
test you, so smoke it up, dude. Right now he's
texting his friend going, hey, man, do you see
that new papaya Doritos? Oh, my God, they're
good. I wonder if weed is legal in Indiana. Oh,
no. Probably not. Probably not. We'll have to
get John Mellencamp on that. Also for the Colts,
Jack Wilson, offensive tackle, undisclosed injury,
but he's out for the season. Jacksonville, Cooper
Hodges, O -tackle, out with a knee. Smart guy.
He had to clear waivers and then reverted to
their pup list. See, he's got a knee injury,
but they put him on the pup list for some reason.
I didn't know you could do that, but, well, it's
physically unable to perform. Yeah, it's kind
of a catch -all. Maybe they didn't want to. If
you put him on ninja reserve, there are restrictions
on when you can bring him back or if you can
bring him back. With a pup list, you can reactivate
him any time. Yeah. That might be it. That actually
might mean he's not as bad off as we thought.
That's kind of what I'm getting from that. If
they're expecting his return. So good news for
the Jaguars there. Kansas City Chiefs, Keontae
Ingram running back. Undisclosed injury. He reverted
to injured reserve, so I guess they put him on
waivers. Nobody wanted him, so he reverted to
injured reserve out for the season. Well, you're
going to see him selling insurance here pretty
soon. Yeah, yeah. I think we're okay at running
back, so that's all right. Defensive end, B .J.
Thompson out for the season as of May 6th, but
no reason. I mean, this is May 6th. That was
like before they even started OTAs. Yeah. But
they're not disclosing what's wrong with him.
He must have been shaving and did it. Yeah, yeah.
Miami Dolphins. Austin Jackson guard. Out until
at least early September. May not make the beginning
of the season. Oh, I want to make an early...
I wanted to be the first to scoop on this. Tua
Tagovaiola will be out with a concussion. Oh,
yeah. Anyhow, proceed. I'm sorry. I'm sure the
over -under on that is like two weeks. Yes. Poor
guy. I mean, I wish all the best for the guy,
but they just don't seem to be able to protect
his cranium down there. He looks back at everybody
and goes, I'm going to go after Chris Jones.
Watch this. Hold my beer, John. All right, they've
got Austin Jackson, guard. I always said that.
Okay, Kader Kohau, K -O -H -O -U. I'm sorry.
Babelsnatch. Babelsnatch, yeah. He's a corner.
He's knee injury out for the season. Obinna EZ,
offensive tackle. What a name. Yeah, E -Z -E,
E -Z. E -Z -E. I wonder if they're an E -Z -E
-Z fan. Yeah. I wonder if they called him Easy
Out when he was a kid. I bet they did. They probably
did. Anyway, Easy is out for the season with
an undisclosed injury. Artie Burns, cornerback,
torn ACL, out for the season. And Jason Mader,
cornerback, undisclosed injury, out for the season.
So there's three corners on Miami that are out
for the season right now. Wow. Yeah. That's kind
of rough. That is. I mean, it doesn't matter.
I mean, when you're talking corners, you usually
don't have that much depth anyhow. Yeah, yeah.
They're expensive players to have, like linebackers.
So you usually have, like, with corners, you
know, when I'm running a video football game,
I make sure I have two good starters and a good
nickel corner, and then the rest can be up and
comers. That just doesn't really matter. You
don't have to pay them as much. Yeah, look, I
mean, truth be known, are they really a contender
anyhow? I would say not, especially since they're
sharing a division with Buffalo and a resurging
New England. Yes. New England's a team to watch,
I think. I believe so. I believe so. And the
Jets. Yeah. Don't worry about the Jets this year.
Yeah. The Jets are going to take a season or
two to get over the debacle with their owner
and Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. Yeah. Minnesota Vikings,
defensive end Alex Williams, undisclosed injury,
out for the season. New England Patriots, Yasser
Durant, O -tackle, undisclosed injury, out for
the season. Brock Lampe, fullback, undisclosed
injury, out for the season. You don't hear a
lot of fullbacks in the league anymore. That's
kind of a dying position. A fullback, you never
hear. The last one we had was... Richardson,
maybe, was he? He was the last good one, yeah.
Yeah, the last good one. Donnell Bennett was
rated as a fullback one season. Yeah. What a
lot of teams do is they'll have, like, their
third or fourth string tight end be the fullback.
Yeah. And that makes a lot more sense because
if you're in a three, like, say you're in a three
tight end set and you need a fullback, then you
move one of your tight ends to fullback and you
bring in an extra offensive lineman to be the
third tight end. And that way you don't have
to carry a fullback. Unless you're Gunther Cunningham
and then Richardson gets over 1 ,000 yards. Yeah,
it worked. It worked. They didn't win a whole
lot. No, it was fun to watch. Man, I loved watching
Tony Richardson play. I was so happy he got the
1 ,100 yards or whatever it was. Number 49. Oh,
yeah, I always liked him. I met him one time
in a tobacco store. Oh, cool. Nice as can be.
He was wearing the coolest get -up too. It was
all plaid in different layouts like his jacket,
his button -up shirt. his slacks, and his shoes.
It looked like just the most beautiful, glorified
mess you've ever seen. Somehow it worked. I think
you've got to buy those at like a golf pro shop.
That's the only place you can get that many kinds
of plaid. Yeah, you know what? He's even wearing
the golfer hat deal. Oh, there you go. You know
what? He's probably going to go golf, and he's
going to go get his pipe stuff so he can smoke
his pipe while he's, yeah. Why not? Okay. You're
outdoors playing golf. Why can't you smoke? Yeah.
Well, that's why a lot of guys do it. Yeah. That,
you know, it's notoriously no signal out there.
I don't know, man. It's just, yeah, just crazy.
And there seems to be very few people nagging
you while you're on the golf course and demanding
things, you know, demanding your time or your
attention. No signal. Sorry, hon. I would never,
ever, ever. Go ahead. All right, before we get
in any more trouble. Yes. New Orleans Saints
offensive tackle Nick Saldivari. Out for the
season. It's only one for the Saints, so they're
getting off easy. New York Giants. Bryce Ford
Wheaton, a wide receiver, has an Achilles injury.
Out for the season. Excuse me. The Jets. Gus
Hartwig, center, undisclosed. Out for the season.
It's another one that they put on waivers, and
he cleared waivers because no one else wanted
him. Oh, okay, so yeah. Practice squad or nothing.
Yeah. Philadelphia wide receiver Danny Gray with
a finger injury is out for the season. I heard
he flipped off somebody. That's a hell of a finger
injury. I heard recently the Blink -182 had to
cancel a concert because the drummer, Travis
Barker, had a broken finger. And I saw a meme
where Def Leppard's drummer, Rick Allen, just
didn't. is sitting there with one arm and saying,
oh, that's cute. Yeah. Have you ever seen his,
well, of course you did, their drummer. Yeah.
His getup is so interesting. It is. It is. Ingenious,
and they came up with it back in the early 80s.
Yeah, that was really pioneering stuff. It really
was, yeah. But, I mean, kudos to them. They wanted
him to be their drummer that bad, and he wanted
to be the drummer that bad. He was good. I mean,
I remember meeting him back when he had both
arms. And they were opening for Ted Nugent on
their first American tour. And I remember asking
him, you know, from listening to this record,
it's like, sounds like you're using a double
kick, are you? And he said, no, I just got a
single. And I said, well, you must have a fast
foot. And he looked at me like, do I? Because
he'd never considered himself a really fast drummer
at that point. So that was my personal conversation
with Rick Allen. He was kind of an under -radar
guy, kind of like Ian Pace. Yeah. Ian Pace is
so underrated, you never hear about him. But,
man, he drives some songs. Oh, yeah. I remember
when Ian Pace split from Deep Purple for a bit
and was doing a side project, and the reviewer
was saying, you know, This is amazing because
now we can hear all the things that he's capable
of doing that just don't fit in Deep Purple.
Yeah, he did that thing called the Ian Pace Project
or something. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And it was when
Deep Purple was in flux because Blackmore, like,
got mad at everybody and stomped off. Again.
Yeah, again. Everyone's looking at each other
with their dick in their hand. Yeah. Anyhow.
Oh, wait a minute. This is a sports one. Oh,
yeah. All right, the music creeps kind of crept
in there a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little
bit of wind today, but not bad. Now you know
why we do sports and music. Yes. Only two things
we know anything about. Yeah. Okay, Pittsburgh
Steelers. Dean Lowry, D -tackle, out for the
season, no explanation. Aaron Rodgers, he left.
Yeah, it could be. Montana, Lamonious Craig.
I want to see that on the back of this jury.
Dave Craig's cousin. Yeah, Lamonius Craig. He's
a wide receiver. This just says lower body injury.
I don't know what that really means, but it's
enough to keep him out for the season. Wow. Donald
Parham Jr., tight end, another Achilles. Lots
of Achilles injuries on this list. Out for the
season. Either a lot of Achilles injuries are
happening or that pretty much puts you out for
the season. Yeah, yeah. Achilles is something
that even if you do make it at the last part
of the season, it's still going to be lingering.
And, you know, for like you and me, we could
get by with a bad or a torn or a healing Achilles.
We could still get around, but you just can't
play football with it. No. It just doesn't work.
Well, I've had an Achilles injury putting in
glass. You can't really walk upstairs with that
fucking thing. Yeah, yeah. All right, San Francisco
49ers. Teron Jackson, D -end, undisclosed injury.
He was in the hospital, but he's been discharged,
but he's out for the season. Don't know what's
wrong with him. Trent Taylor, wide receiver,
injured reserve for an undisclosed reason on
Tuesday. And Trey Tomlinson, cornerback, undisclosed.
They put him on waivers, nobody claimed him,
so he reverts to their injured reserve and he's
out for the season. Seattle Seahawks, running
back Kenny McIntosh, out for the season with
a knee injury. And Uchenna Nwosu, linebacker,
knee, is not expected to be ready to practice
anytime soon and will probably miss the beginning
of the season. Okay. At least opening weekend.
Okay. Getting towards the end here. Tampa Bay
Bucks, David Walker, linebacker, has a knee injury
out for the season. Marcus Banks, safety, undisclosed,
out for the season. DJ Williams, running back,
undisclosed, out for the season. Jazzy Jeff's
brother. Yes. Silas Dezansi, O -tackle, knee
injury, not expected back until the middle of
October. Tristan Works, offensive tackle. I think
the Chiefs were interested in him for a bit.
Yeah, I remember that name, yeah. He's out with
a knee on the active but physically unable to
perform list, so the active pup list, but he
is out until at least the middle of October.
Okay. So Tampa's been hit. Tennessee Titans,
Traylon Burks, wide receiver with a collarbone
injury. Those are awful. Collarbone injuries
hurt like hell. Oh, those are ugly. He's out
for the season, not surprised. And here's the
one that everyone's talking about, Will Levis,
quarterback. Oh, yeah. Out for the season with
shoulder because he's going to have surgery.
Now, this is an injury that got it like, what,
week four last year? Yes. Was out for a few games,
came back and suffered through the rest of the
season. Why did he wait until training camp to
suddenly decide, you know what, I'm going to
skip the season and just get my shift? Why didn't
he get his shoulder worked on as soon as the
season ended? That is a great question, and I
thought that, I mean, I think anyone who knows
football and keeps tabs on it are like, well,
why didn't he? I think the reason is, at that
point, he still thought he was going to be the
starter, but when he got to training camp...
They got Cam Ward. Cam Ward, yeah, they drafted
him. Yeah, and now that Tennessee is like, okay,
we're okay with you just sitting out and getting
your shoulder worked on. He probably knew he
wasn't going to start anyway. Yeah. So it's like,
what the hell, might as well do it. Yeah, that's
what I think too. Yeah, so I think they told
him, you're not starting. And that made up his
mind to go get the surgery. It was like the way
they used to do manufacturing is, they'd hire
30 people when they need 10. Yeah. And everybody
knew that. Yeah. Kind of the same thing. The
new guy squeezing out the old guy. Yeah. And
last, we have Washington Commanders Tyree Jackson,
tight end, undisclosed injury out for the season.
And Fentrell Cypress, second, also undisclosed
injury out for the season. So from that list,
the Bucs are hit pretty hard. The Cowboys got
hit pretty hard. The Cowboys deserved it. The
Bucs didn't. The Miami lost three corners. So
it's been hurting some teams already this season.
Yeah. Yeah. That was pretty informative. It tells
us, like, so far the Chiefs are in pretty good
shape. I would say so because they don't have
any big starting names. Rasheed Rice or, no,
who was it that got? Hollywood Brown. Yeah, yeah,
he's back and doing okay. Look, he's still on
the suspect list because he's been injured his
whole career. Only one season, he got like 1
,100 yards. It was a great season, but that was
the season he wasn't injured. Yeah, and he's
A .J. Brown's brother, isn't he? Yes. And he's
Chris Brown's nephew. Oh, okay. Yeah. A lot of
people didn't know that. And Kansas abolitionist
John Brown was his great, great, great uncle.
Yes, you can see the resemblance, too. They're
right next to each other. That's why before every
game they play John Brown's body. Yes. And they
got a statue of him. Is it Osawatomie, I think?
I think so. Yeah, Osawatomie, yeah. And the plaque
says, to our favorite Jay Hawker. Yes, that's
it, yep. Okay, I got some bullet points. Love
me some bullet points. All right. Will Aaron
Rodgers be a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee?
I think so. I think so, too, even though with
his debacle. Yeah. Go ahead. Tell me your thoughts.
Yeah, I think he's done enough good and spectacular
things. He's been, you know, a good example of,
you know, the modern quarterback that the league
can get behind and promote. He's had this weirdness
and stuff, but Hall of Fame's anymore. are more
about popularity than actual statistics and achievement.
They're not doing it for the purists anymore.
Oh, yeah. So they'll let them in if no other
reason than doing so will bring more visitors.
You see, it's become a highlight reel. Yeah.
And Aaron Rodgers has highlights. He has some
pretty good highlights. I mean, that's how come
Patrick Mahomes is going to be a first ballot,
no thought. I mean, they might as well not even
vote, just put him in. You know, Brady, of course,
yes. You know, I mean, it's become a highlight
reel. And Aaron Rodgers has plenty of highlights
to convince people. Yeah. Now, I'm very glad
Jared Allen got in. I am, too. He deserved it.
He wasn't all that splashy and never really talked
about him in the last 10 years or so. But, man,
he was a force. Yeah. He was quite the force.
He was going to go into the Restaurant Bar Hall
of Fame. Oh, yeah? Yeah. You remember he had
one open for like three days and it got traded?
That's right. Yeah. Oops. Yeah, yeah. Oops. Didn't
see that one coming, did you? All right. Will
the Chiefs win over 12 games this season? Yes.
I'll say yes. I'm going to say 13. Yeah. Yeah.
I remember what was last year, the year before
I predicted it. 15 -1 or 15 -2 because there's
17 games. We would have went probably 16 -1 if
it wasn't for holding everybody out in Denver.
I think this season there's been so much improvement
that barring massive injuries on the part of
other teams, every game's going to be tough.
Josh Simmons, he looks like the steel of the
pick right now. Yeah. This is something Brett
Beach has been so good at. Taking a chance on
what seemingly right now is the right player.
I hope their suspicions on Hollywood Brown turn
out real. Yeah. Sometimes it's easy to get one
injury and then just rack them up. And then all
of a sudden you have a career that just spans
so long. Yeah. Rashi Rice. is a concern because
he's probably going to miss two to four games,
is what they're saying. Yeah, they're waiting
for the discipline to fall. Yeah, yep. So, but
I hope it's early because here's my thoughts.
He had that injury last year. They took him out
all season. If they do it early, he can still
practice, you know, and he can still do it and
get more limber and get more into it. And then
when he goes back in the third or fourth game,
he's going home, you know, ready to go. That
would be a really – yeah, that would work out
great. But I don't know if it's going to happen
that quick. True. I think if the league got on
it and was prompt, they'd probably be okay with
doing that. Yeah. But they're probably just going
to drag their feet and it's going to wound up
being sometime in October. Yeah. Which is a shame.
Well, and another thing is, this isn't said,
but I think that the league is getting tired
of looking at the Chiefs. Yeah. I know all the
other parts of the country. I know that because
I was around for New England. Yep. They're getting
tired of seeing them, and I get it. So all of
a sudden they become the hated ones when they
were the loved ones. Yeah, it's the overexposure.
Yes, and I get it. Yeah. Well, I like Brady now.
That he's not playing. Yeah. Yeah, as soon as
Elway retired, I liked him. Yeah, me too. Me
too. Before that, I did not have a care for him.
No. All right. Will the Eagles go to the Super
Bowl again this season? Wow. Really good chance
they will. I think so, too. I don't see anyone
right now. Okay. The Commanders. They have a
very dark horse chance with no injuries. There's
some of the upgrades that they've done, but they've
also lost some people too. I don't think they
have the toughness that comes from experience
because they're still a young team. They haven't
been a contender for a while. San Francisco's
not going to take them out. Green Bay, no, they're
not even close like people thought. Dallas will
do their usual fade. Detroit's Detroit. Minnesota
is going to make some noise, I think, still.
Yeah. They've got too much going there to have
it just tank in one season, I think. No. The
problem is, well, they have their young quarterback,
and I think a lot of that right there is going
to hinge on him. Yeah. I mean, if he progresses
early and they get on a roll, you could see them
in the championship game. Yeah. They've been
there before and had heartache, but the Vikings
have been in, what, two Super Bowls? Yeah. Yeah,
because the Chiefs beat them in Super Bowl IV,
and then the Steelers beat them in the 70s. Where
the Vikings were heavily favored. Both times.
Yeah. Okay, well, yeah, I don't see anyone really
stopping them, so I think so, yeah. Will the
Bengals bounce back and go to the playoffs this
year? I'd say yes. Playoffs. I think so, too.
You know, I hope there's somebody who's got a
drinking game that every time we say playoffs,
they take a drink. I hope so, too. If there isn't,
somebody should start doing that right now. Yes.
Absolutely. And you have to listen back to the
podcast two or three times so you make sure you
drink it up. Oh, so we'll get more downloads.
Yeah. Brilliant. Drink it. Drink off. Drink off.
We'll call the drink off the playoff drink off.
The playoff drink off. I smell another coma.
I should have gone into marketing, man. Of course,
then I wouldn't be able to look at myself in
the mirror. Yeah. All right, bullet points. All
right. We're doing bullet points. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Okay. I think the last year's season was
an anomaly. That's not really what you saw with
the Bengals. I think they just had a couple of
tough losses. Number one to the Chiefs. Yeah.
That didn't help. Then it was followed up by,
was it the Ravens, or who was it that they had
a horrible loss to after? Yeah, I'm blanking
on who the team was, but I remember they got
embarrassed. Yeah, and they just kind of like
after that, they just, I mean, really kind of,
if you look at it, the Chiefs broke them early
with that late field goal, you know? It's like
that when we played the Ravens, like the first
game of the season. crushed them and they're
like damn yeah they're like not this year either
well you can see them leaving the field going
what do we have to do yeah we've already lost
the tiebreaker to the chiefs first game of the
season and we've already lost the tiebreaker
and they're not going to look back so yeah i
can see why people hate the kansas city chiefs
i get it oh i do too how about buffalo they probably
they probably have nightmares at night yeah But,
you know, when the Chiefs are on the decline
and some other team takes over as the darling,
get ready for people to hate on them after two
or three years. It's just the way it goes. Hey,
look, if it was Buffalo that had the upper hand,
people would be hating Josh Allen instead of
loving him right now. See, that's the thing the
fans should start hoping for. Man, I hope in
a couple years everyone hates my team. Yeah.
It's not going to be too long before the Eagles,
well, the Eagles get a lot of hate just because
they're from Philadelphia. That's true, yeah.
You just say, you know, Philadelphia, I hate
you. Yes, yeah. Anything with a Philly in front
of it, yeah. All right, who was the Chiefs' most
scary divisional opponent or challenger? Right
now I'd say Denver, but it might be Oakland.
Or Oakland. It might be Las Vegas. You can say
Oakland. Yeah. I'm going to say, well, I tried
to say San Diego. I think Los Angeles is a dark
horse. Oh, wow. Well. I kind of haven't been
paying much attention to them. I guess I should.
Jim Harbaugh traditionally about the third year
is really starting to ramp it up. Yeah, he's
the X factor there. They've done a lot of acquisitions
and a lot of this and that that I haven't kept
up with. I bet you most of them are pretty good.
Yeah. That's just their skill, you know. Yeah.
I think when we did the list of most improved
teams through draft and free agency, they were
on that list. Yeah, I believe it. Yeah. Yeah.
We took one of their running backs, Mitchell.
Yeah. And their linebacker, Denzel Perryman,
has been arrested. So that's not good. I thought
Mitchell's was a 49er, wasn't it? Oh, you're
right, 49er. Okay. Okay. All right. Okay. The
California team, whatever. No, no, no. I thought
maybe we didn't get the guy I thought we did.
Oh, no, I was just missing you out. I'm almost
64, and I've had numerous brain injuries, so
you have to bear with me. No, no, no, that's
fine. Because all of a sudden I was like, wait,
maybe Eliah Mitchell's a guy on the Chargers,
and I thought it was that fast guy from San Francisco.
Okay. All right. Will the Raiders go above 500?
Yes. Yeah, I think so. I think the Raiders are
going to have a winning season, and people are
going to worry about them come December. Yeah.
Who's their quarterback? Man, I'm blanking on
that. It's not Geno Smith, is it? Yeah, yeah,
it is. Yeah, okay. Yeah, because they got Carroll,
Pete Carroll. Yeah. Yeah, so. Okay, so Geno.
Geno's a good quarterback. He's a lot better
than people think. Yeah, yeah. He's solid play.
He's not the most flashy. He won't get you the
most yards, but he won't lose you a game generally.
Yeah. You know, there's always that one, you
know. Yeah. All right. Will the Commanders go
to the playoffs? Playoffs. Playoffs. I'd say
yes. I don't think they're going to make a lot
of noise in the playoffs, but I think they will
get there, which would be really good for the
team as a whole. Yeah, I think they're going
to have a setback in the playoffs this year.
Yeah. But then next year, they're like, hey,
we've been two years in a row. Let's make some
noise this time. They're kind of like Texans.
The Texans might actually kind of ramp it up
this year. That's true. C .J. Stroud has two
years under his belt, both in the playoffs. The
Houston Strouds. The Strouds, yep. The first
word of the Kansas City Mahomes. Yes. Could be.
Yeah, yeah. Everyone would go along with that.
Yeah. And then you'd have some group going, oh,
no, you can't do that. 3 ,000 years ago were
the Mahomes that were. that went around this
territory. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wasn't
he one of those ancient Egyptian pharaohs or
something? Yeah. Like Mahomes II? Yeah, yeah,
yes. So we can't call him that. No. Culturally
insensitive, I guess. You cannot hurt anybody's
feelings ever. Yeah. That's bad. Starting to
sound like NPR around here. Oh, the defunded
emblem. It just makes me so happy. There are
tiny little fists over there. You can't do that.
Oh, I guess I just did. It's so funny that as
soon as the defunding goes away, everyone's quitting
and they're shutting the whole thing down. They
do not want to be investigated, do they? They
do not want anyone looking into their books or
asking any questions. How can someone that gets
a .1 share make $10 million? That defies logic.
Corruption, greed, vibery, extortion, blackmail.
All this allegedly. Allegedly, but yeah. Yeah,
I always wonder that. How did that guy that nobody
ever heard of get that lucrative a contract?
I've got a list in here for later. Some of NPR's
most bizarre news stories. That they claim are
not biased at all? Oh, shit. Yeah, yeah. That's
for later. Yeah, they can go away forever. I'll
be fine. Oh, yeah. All right. Will C .J. Stroud
have a bounce -back year? And I'm talking statistic
-wise. I think they're playoff -bound again.
Playoffs, playoffs. Yeah, I could see him having
definitely a better year than last year. I do,
too. Yeah, at this point. Definitely see them
having a better year and building. Yeah, like
the Commanders and the Texans are two teams that
I see accelerating at this point. Getting better,
getting stronger. They'll have some falters here
and there, but I think they're coming on, like
the Raiders and the Broncos. Yeah, I like it
when teams that have been down a while, it's
starting to get better. And teams that have been
hanging around forever, they start sucking and
you go away and you don't think about them for
a while. No, that's right. That turnover is kind
of nice, I think. It is, and it's also kind of
like cleaning the house, sweeping everything
up, shoring up the corners. It helps give the
impression that it's not all controlled and rigged
and not the same team wins every year. Remember
in baseball when the same teams were making the
playoffs? Every year. Playoffs. Because, you
know, the richer teams could buy the better talent.
So every time the postseason came around, everyone
knew it was going to be in it, and everyone was
just yawning. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, we can
go into that segment here in a little bit that
you talked about because I love that idea. It
will illustrate exactly what's going on. Yeah.
So I'll go through the rest of these here real
quick, and we can go to that. So will the Texans
go to the playoffs? Yes, I'd say they would.
Will the Texans go deep in the playoffs? I think
they will too. It depends on who they play. Yeah,
I think they'll win their first game, but that's
probably about it. I don't know that they're
going to win their division, although it's the
Colts and the Titans and the Jaguars. They could
win that division, but not necessarily a lot.
Well, okay, if they face the Ravens, they have
a chance. They face the Bills or the Chiefs on
the first one. Yeah, that first round is going
to be their opponent is going to be important.
Yeah, they face Pittsburgh. That's going to be
tough. If Pittsburgh does get it all together
with Aaron Rodgers. Or they could meet a wild
card on a New England team. That could be very
good. Yeah, it could be interesting. I think
this season there's going to be some shakeup
and people are going to be going, wow, didn't
see that coming. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I mean,
like, just look at our division alone. Yeah.
Everyone's to at least been to a Super Bowl.
Three of them out of the four have won at least
one Super Bowl. Yep. And the other one had been
to a Super Bowl and played really well, but he
had Kaepernick and Smith as quarterbacks, so,
yeah. All right, and finally. Will Dallas do
better and possibly make the playoffs this year?
That was written out before Brian Schottenheimer
was hired. Yeah, I don't see Dallas doing much
this year. No, I don't either. I think their
owner's got his head stuck in a routine and a
mindset that might have worked about 40 years
ago, but doesn't work now. And he's so rich that
nobody can make him change or listen to reason.
They just say, you know, yes, Jerry, no, Jerry,
whatever you say, Jerry. and then they cash their
paychecks. So until people are holding others
accountable within that organization, they're
just going to stumble along making money and
losing games. Well, Yoda, all he ever wanted
was yes, man, and that's what you get. Yeah,
he fired Jimmy Jones because he was a little
too defiant. Yeah, and also he didn't like someone
taking the spotlight because everyone's like,
yeah. He wants his face everywhere. Jerry Jones
is brilliant. No one said Jerry Jones is brilliant.
He didn't like that. If he didn't have to give
up the money of the naming rights, he would have
named the stadium after himself. Yes. But he
wanted that money from the naming rights. That's
the only reason he didn't name it the Jerry Jones
Godlike Palace of Wonderfulness or something
like that. From the top, it's a big, all the
windows in it. Or like one -way windows. And
then all you can see is like a picture of his
Yoda -looking face on the top. But he actually,
there's a big design flaw in that stadium. Because
when the sun is setting, it comes in and throws
in windows. Yeah, really. It comes in through
the end windows and blinds everyone who's facing
a certain way on the field. Yes. And sometimes
it's the cowboys that are getting blinded by
those, and there's no way to block the sun, block
that illumination. It's a design flaw, and Jerry
Jones is refusing to admit it. And this is a
Texas sun. Yes. I've been to Texas plenty of
times. That sun is different than the sun up
here. I've visited Houston a few times. It's
nasty down there. Yeah. Yep. So, all right, that's
all of them. So you had something you wanted
to go into about Major League Baseball, competitive
them too. Yeah, yeah. The other day I was listening
to a station talking about baseball draft. What
station was it? 96 .5, I believe. Okay. And,
you know, the baseball draft takes place during
the season, which is interesting. and they are
drafting players that realistically aren't going
to play for at least a season, probably longer.
Yeah, and that's always been weird about how
they draft them. It's just kind of like an afterthought.
It's like, oh, yeah, yeah, hey, next week's the
draft, so I may not be around quite as much.
Yeah, yeah, it seems like the draft is not all
that important because trades and free agency
are just as good a way to get talent that's already
become evident. Well, we're talking about Major
League Baseball. I got one question I want to
ask you about the Royals. Okay. Did they bring
up Jack Caglione too soon? Probably so. I think
so, too. Yeah. I think he'll get through it,
but I think it's going to take him longer. Yeah,
yeah. It's kind of an odd decision to throw him
in now. before waiting for him to be really ready.
And then you worry about the damage that's going
to be done if he loses some confidence in himself.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, the game hasn't slowed down
for him seemingly. Yeah. And we'll see how that
pans out. Yeah, we will. But the idea, I thought,
was how would Major League Baseball be different
if they drafted the same way the NFL drafts?
Do it in the offseason, and it's in the reverse
order of how you finish... that season that you
just finished, and you're drafting players that
have a reasonable chance of starting right away,
or at least contributing significantly right
away and staying on your roster. Major League
Baseball is like, you know, draft all these guys
and, you know, push them off to Timbuktu Farm
Team and don't think about them for three years.
Yeah. How are we supposed to get excited about
the Major League Baseball draft when you're not
going to hear from these guys for a long time?
That is a huge fall because, well, I never even
thought about that actually like that. Okay,
the big, we've had the draft here a couple years
ago. Yeah. It is huge. Monsters. Yeah. I mean,
the draft is like a season in itself. Yeah, it's
like the, almost like the Super Bowl. Yeah, like
a month and a half after the Super Bowl was settled
and all that, you had your clear champion and
all that. And the idea is to get you excited
and ramped up for the coming season. It does,
yeah. Everyone's making their picks and their
mock drafts. Everyone's watching. All of a sudden
that Thursday, I think, is when it starts. Wednesday
or Thursday, I think it's Thursday. Yeah, it's
Thursday and then a Friday and then Saturday.
Then it works. Someone comes running in and goes,
hey, did you hear who we got? No, who did we
get? And then you're like. It's a big deal. Oh,
is that that one guy from Maryland or whatever?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the big guy, you know. Yeah.
You don't hear that about baseball. No, they're
missing such an opportunity to make this a pro
baseball event, get people excited. You know,
what would happen if this next draft. Some of
the teams just say, you know what, we're not
drafting these high school guys anymore. This
guy's 23. He's been playing in college. He's
ready to go. We're drafting him. And he's going
to start at first base next season. I've been
expecting that for a long time, actually. Yeah.
Let's have some teams step up and do that. Set
a new bar. You guys want to spend four years
training and grooming and developing that guy?
Okay. We're going to win this season. Yeah, I
agree. I'd love to see that. I would too. I think
that they always talk about, well, the baseball
purists, they don't want... It's not necessarily
that. I mean, that's part of it. It's the union,
not wanting to change the way things are done,
but there's also... You and I have both been
in unions. Yeah, yeah. We know how this shit
is. Yes. The union brotherhood is something that
it's almost like they shame you if you don't
go along with it. Yeah. It's like, oh, no, no,
you're a part of this. It's big -time peer pressure.
Yes. And I think that that's what happens in
baseball to a big degree. Yeah. Look at the players,
the scat players, if you will. You know, yeah.
Boy, they were shunned and pretty much pitched
out of the league. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Even if
they, you know, came back later and joined the
unions, no. No, because they, in air parentheses,
crossed the picket line. Yeah, it's like you
don't trust a traitor, even if he was working
for you, you still don't trust him. You don't
trust him, yeah. Because you know he'll betray
you too. Exactly. Yeah. Yep. Anyhow, go ahead,
I think. So, yeah, that, it would be very much
different, and I think also another big part
of what people enjoy about baseball, I think
if you're going to be a baseball fan, then the
record book becomes very important to you. Yes.
All these game records, individual records, season
records, team records, all this stuff. And if
you had a real shakeup in how things are done
that kind of changed the talent, it's like we're
bringing in all these good offensive players
who are ready to start right now, and the pitchers
can't keep up. So you're going to get way better,
more scoring, higher scoring games, more action.
and the rule book would take a big hit because
there's some record, I mean not rule book, the
record book, because there would be some records
that would fall every season. And there are other
records that you'd never break again, like some
of the pitching records and the shutouts and
the low scores. You'd never break any of those
records ever again, so they would become irrelevant.
I think that's something they have to look at
is we don't want to make these records irrelevant
in any way because that's a big draw for the
game. It's like, oh, look, this guy's getting
close to breaking this record. Everyone pay attention.
And if the record's become meaningless, yeah,
that's not good. Yeah. You know, and here's,
okay, it took baseball until the 1990s for Roger
Maris was the record holder for home runs. It
was 62, I believe. Yeah. Yeah, Babe Ruth was
close, was second, was 60. Yeah. It took them
how many years since the 50s to the 90s to break
them, and now it's nothing to get 60. Yeah. I
mean, it's something, but it's not unusual. It's
just kind of like, how many home runs did, oh,
what's his name from New York? Oh, my gosh, Jeter?
No, well, the guy playing now. Okay, Jeter. Yeah,
60 home runs. Oh, yeah, yeah, that sounds about
right. Yeah. Yeah, that's its own kind of disappointment
for the longtime fan, is a record that's been
held for so long, it breaks, and then it breaks
again, and then it breaks again, and then it
breaks again. It's like, ah, this just doesn't
mean anything now. Yeah, the old records don't
match new records for obvious reasons. Yeah.
So, okay. Go ahead. Oh, that's about all I had.
Well, I love that comparison because I think
we kind of hit everything that's pretty much
going on there. Yeah, yeah. Just the whole idea
of baseball seems to be slow, patient, meticulous,
a little bit at a time. It doesn't jive with
today's world. No, and they can at least make
part of it fast and fun and action -packed. You
know, do that with the draft. Yeah. The union
has so much brother and control over each other
that it's never, at least not now, it's going
to happen. I imagine there are some professional
sports that realize that if they had a player
strike, the sport would never recover. Because
they're just kind of living on the edge. And
if they had a stoppage and ruined the season,
I think a lot of people wouldn't come back for
the next season. Not necessarily baseball, but
some of the sports out there, they just cannot
afford a strike. Football got smart and stopped
it real quick. People say that baseball recovered
from their strike. No, they have not. No. They're
no longer America's pastime. I know so many people
that do not give one ounce of shit about it.
That's kind of me. I used to pay attention. I
used to go to five or six games a season. After
they canceled the rest of the season and canceled
the World Series, I was like, all right, I'm
done with you guys. You make way more money than
I'll ever see in my lifetime, and it's not enough
to go out and hit a ball around. I just didn't
have time for that. Here's mine on it. It wasn't
even that. To me, I found football and other
sports where they were no longer there. And it's
kind of like, when I got back to them, the Royals
weren't worth a shit anyhow, so I was just kind
of like, oh, they got back to playing? Oh, okay,
that's nice. And then I'm overlooking somewhere
else. I heard that mentioned on some sports talk
shows is a lot of baseball fans realize that
they can get by just fine without baseball. Yeah,
and I used to worship baseball. Yeah, yeah. So
they definitely screwed themselves big time.
But imagine how big baseball would be now if
they'd never done that. They could be huge instead
of a kind of teetering sport. I mean, everyone's...
worried about where the Chiefs are going to move
to, but people aren't really all that concerned
about the Royals. No, you're right. They're like,
oh yeah, they'll end up somewhere. We don't know
if they're going to end up in Washington Square
or Clay County. And there's ten times as many
games, so you can get to a few no matter where
they are. Personally, look, Jackson County, they
have some work to do on themselves. We're not
ready for a relationship, obviously. So, maybe
it's time we part ways with those two. you know,
our two lovers, and they go somewhere else and
we work on ourselves. So Clay County would be
beautiful for the stadium facing the skyline
and the river. Kind of opposite what the current
does. Yeah. Opposite of the current. That would
be nice. Yeah. But we'll see what happens. I
mean, Kansas City's fighting, but it may be in
vain, but they're fighting. One of the recent
things I've heard is The site of what used to
be the Sprint Campus, over like 119th and Metcalf.
Yeah, that's been repeatedly, because one of
the Royals' managing partners owns that, or is
one of the group that owns that. Yeah, it's called
Asperia. Asperia, yeah. The old Sprint Center,
if anyone wants to know what it is. Not the Sprint
Center downtown, the Sprint Campus. The Sprint
Campus, yeah. Way too big and overbuilt. Even
when they built it, they couldn't occupy half
of it. They never have occupied more than half
of that. They've torn down a lot of those buildings.
Chesapeake Energy down in Oklahoma City did the
same thing. And now they use like a tenth of
it. Or last I knew. Allegedly and all that. I
think that what I've heard is that that Asperia
area is... where they're thinking about putting
the new baseball stadium, right in the middle
of Johnson County. I got to analyzing it, and
people were going, that area? No, that's no good.
Uh -uh. No, that expressway, 69 Highway Expressway,
you can make an exit directly to there. That's
true, yeah. You would definitely have to change
some of the roads around. Yeah, but it would
be perfect. You have the Expressway, and you
have 119th, and you can do a lot of different
designs, too. You have Metcalf. You have a really
good system to work with. There are a lot of
hotels around there. There's a lot of eating
places, a lot of attractions. Yes. You can go
get some ramen noodles that are gourmet. Yeah,
yeah. How about that? You stub your toe. Menorah
Hospital is just right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're good. We both visited there. Yeah, yeah.
It's funny. If you look at the placards inside,
they used to be called the Jewish Hospital of
Kansas City. Yeah, but, you know. We don't care
who you are. It's like the Jewish community center
when they moved to Johnson County. Oh, yeah.
They're so afraid of the word Jew over there,
they had to rebrand themselves as the J. Well,
they did have a shooter. Yeah, that's true. We're
not making fun of that at all. Yes, but it's
all those rich, white, Christian Johnson County
assholes that can't stand the word Jew anywhere.
I mean, just look at, what was it, Columbia and
Brown University. both have made multi, multi
-million dollar settlements with the government
because of their long history of anti -Jew policies.
Oh, yeah, I read a little bit about that. See,
Colombia discriminated against Jews in the admissions
process. They discriminated against them in student
housing. And they allowed the establishment of
a Jewish -free zone that the Palestinian students
set up. and they just let it happen. That's why
Harvard had to pay $400 million. And just to
free us of any litigation possible at all, allegedly,
all this. Yes, there we go. But considering that
the university settled the suit, I think they're
admitting it. No, I think so too, but I was taught
that by someone that would know. They said always
do that. Always say allegedly, just to cover
your ass. And what I've heard, and I don't know
for sure. Columbia, I think, had to pay $200
million for the same thing. And then Brown University
had to pay, I think it was around $10 million,
$10 to $20 million, for an active policy of discriminating
against Jewish Africans. The Jew hatred is still
there. I mean, it's everywhere. It is entrenched
into universities that claim to be liberal. Accepting.
Unless you're a Jew, apparently. Like Greta Thornburg
or whatever she is. Over there giving a lunchbox
to a Palestinian. It's like, you're over. It's
done. Go away. Nobody gives one ounce of shit
about you anymore. You're no longer that little
kid that's outraged. Now you're just a pissed
off fucking teenager. And you still have those
tiny little fists. Yes. Over there in their boat.
I was hoping they'd behead him. Oops. Made the
wrong move, didn't you there? Now you can be
outraged, Greta. Get the fuck on out of here.
Your five minutes have been over a long time
ago. I learned that there's a... Allegedly. I
forget which make it is. There's a sports car
that when you're driving it and you do a gear
change... It's got a system that drops a drop
of raw fuel into the muffler every time you do
a gear change just for the sound. Just to make
you go when your gear change. So I would like
to see... Did you say this is an EV? No, this
is like a supercar, super sports car that sucks
down gas like crazy. And here it is wasting more
gas just to make a cool sound. And he said this
is the kind that makes Greta Thunberg just...
blow her stack. And he's like, I think that's
a great use for petrol. I want to do a burnout
in front of her in a Challenger. Oh, no, no,
no. I know what I want to do. I want to take
10 gallons of gasoline and pour it on the ground
right in front of her. Yeah, yeah. It's like,
eh, I was going to fill my tank, but I don't
feel like it. I'll just dump it here. Yeah, I'm
going to have to have the refinery make more.
Yes. How dare me. How dare me. Well, I heard
that the Chargers Denzel Perryman got arrested.
Oh, okay. It's a little unclear. They call it
a weapons violation charge. It was 9 .30 p .m.
on August 1st. South Los Angeles Station Japanese
conducted a traffic stop on Perryman due to vehicle
code violations. Oh, that'll get it. So, yeah,
apparently he's modified this vehicle to where
it's not actually street legal anymore. Yep.
And strictly speaking, you modify your car in
any way that raises it, lowers it, or widens
it, it might not be street legal, and you can
be pulled over for that. And that is a valid
excuse. So, if you don't want to be pulled over,
don't give them that reason to. No, guys. Anyway,
they discovered... That's attention -seeking
behavior. It is, yes. Yeah, and you want the
attention of your friends and the people you're
attracted to, but you're also going to get the
attention of the cops. Anyway, during the traffic
stop, they found five firearms, including two
what they call assault -style rifles, which really
doesn't mean anything, because there's no legal
definition of what an assault rifle is. It's
an unregulated term, and you can apply it to
anything. I never even really thought... thought
about that, but I guess so. That was what always
derailed all those bans on assault rifles, because
there is no legal definition of what an assault
rifle is. I mean, bump stock or whatever, you
know, if you have a definition, you can. Yeah,
something specific, yeah. But anyway, so they
booked him, and he's being held without bail,
and scheduled to appear at the Englewood Courthouse
on August 5th. The team said, we're aware of
the matter, but we're going to let the... He
said, we're aware of recent reports regarding
Denzel Perriman's arrest. At this time, we are
still gathering facts and will fully cooperate
with the process. He's a respected veteran in
the NFL and a dedicated father, teammate, and
professional. Well, what does that really mean?
Because the BTK killer in Wichita was all those
things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As a matter of fact,
you know, he would have got away with it, but
he was so outraged they didn't talk about him
anymore. They basically gave himself away. He
did. He did. And so, you know, it's the bullshit
of, well, he's this, and he's this, and he's
that. Well, so was this mass murderer, and so
was this psychopath. No, that's the biggest known
statement ever. Yeah, remember when they deported
that one guy, and the liberals were referring
to him as a Maryland father was deported. Yes.
He was a gangbanger. A gangbanger, yeah. But,
yeah, see, it's just spin by the chargers. Yeah.
Anyway. Out of respect for the process, no party
involved. We'll have no further comment at this
time. Where's Bill Riley when you need him? Yeah,
really. Bill O 'Reilly. So it says Perryman,
a one -time Pro Bowler, has played 10 seasons,
spent the past year with the Chargers logging
55 tackles in one sack, and re -signed with them
at the beginning of free agency. So that's Perryman.
Okay. Rasheed Rice. His criminal case has been
resolved. Chiefs receiver Rishi Rice has one
step remaining before his street racing situation
is resolved. A potential, if not likely, NFL
suspension. A quote from Rice. Honestly, it's
still in the works. My legal team is handling
that. All I can do is focus on what I control
right now, and that's me doing what I do best
right here on the field. It's not racing cars.
No. So the NFL has yet... to propose an agreed
suspension to the NFL Players Association. So
they're not even having a proposal on the table
yet. Yeah, like you said, the 10th week, all
of a sudden they're going to go, oh, by the way,
we decided. Yeah, if they need to influence the
season at some point, that's when they'll drop
the suspension. Yeah, they'll go, okay, it's
time to do it. Yeah. Once the NFLPA... gets the
proposed suspension, they would work with Rice's
representatives to formulate a plan. Now the
NFLPA, the Players Union, they're in a big state
of turmoil right now because their president
has just had to resign because he was putting
visits to strip bars and strippers on his expense
account. And I'm sure nobody cared as long as
he was doing it, as long as he didn't get caught.
But once he got caught, they had to make a big
deal of it. That's what always gets me, is most
of the times they know that they're doing it,
but then when they get caught... Okay, we're
posing for a picture I'm going to put on Facebook,
so maybe people will come by. Yeah, and that
way they'll recognize us and know who to throw
rotten eggs at. Well, they do that anyhow. Eddie,
I'll go ahead. Okay, if the League and the Union
cannot agree on a punishment, the formal process
would unfold. Given that the facts regarding
what transpired are not in dispute, because it's
on video, it's possible that a hearing before
retired Judge Sue L. Robinson will be unnecessary.
If that was the case, the matter would go straight
to Commissioner Roger Goodell for his decision.
So the decision will wind up in his hands, and
he can decide whichever way he wants, whatever's
best for the league. With the Chiefs' regular
season opener only four weeks and six days away,
it's also possible that Rice would be available
for week one and beyond until the case has been
resolved. However it plays out, Rice insists
his days of reckless driving are behind him.
I've completely changed, he said. Honestly, you
have to learn from things like that. I've taken
advantage of being able to learn from something
like that. Okay. Oh, and then we've got Shannon
Sharp. Okay. Ex -Broncos tight end, Hall of Famer.
He got into a relationship with an OnlyFans girl.
So basically that's a person who performs sex
acts on video at your request as long as you
put your credit card in. So that's what Shannon
Sharp has been doing with a lot of his money
is spending it on having some girl strip on video
fly. But then he got into a relationship with
her and started appearing with her and showing
up at her place and dating her. Then when he
got tired of her, she decided that he'd been
abusive this whole time and took him to court.
apparently he felt she had enough on him that
he wanted to settle. He did not want it to go
to court at all. So he said, I need to settle
this. I need you to make it go away. He made
a $50 million settlement with this girl. So now
she's a multi -multi -millionaire because she
got Shannon Sharp to be stupid. Yeah, yeah. And
it was like some sort of a sex game they were
playing. He was saying something like... Yeah,
you like to get hurt, don't you? Or something
stupid like that. Like, whatever his kink was.
And she exploited it. Here's the big stupid thing.
He trusted her. Yes, I know. How stupid is that?
He trusted her. With his career, his life, his
money, everything. Remember what I said earlier
before we got on the podcast? And I said, like,
sometimes I think people's... Their life is going
so smooth, your brain figures out a way to fuck
it up. Yep. Perfect example. Yeah, yeah. It's
like, I need a challenge here. Everything comes
right to me. And while all this was going on,
his brother Sterling Sharp was downplaying his
election to the Hall of Fame because he didn't
want to bring more attention on Shannon. Yes.
He loves his brother, and he was trying to help
him. I always like Sterling Berry. I know. I
think Sterling's a very classy guy. He is. I
always loved hearing what he had to say on TV.
Oh, Green Bay. Oh, my God. Some of those catches.
Oh, yeah. I know. Remember that one where he
caught the ball and thought he was in the end
zone, but was really about the two? Yeah. And
at the last second, he's like, oh, shit, he ran
into the end zone. And you can see this big grin.
He's like, uh -oh, almost fucked up there. It
was like a college player that, like, he slowed
down and just started crawling to the end zone,
and then he got fucking fumbled. Or the college
player who doesn't remember that you can fall
down and then get back up again in the NFL. Oh,
yeah, yeah. They stand there, and it's like,
no one's near you. It's not dead yet. Get back
up. But anyway, so Sterling was trying to help
him. Shannon was trying to get this all resolved
so he wouldn't get fired. He got fired anyway.
ESPN said, we're done with you. But I think he
had another incident after that, too. I can't
remember what it was. It wasn't nearly as big
a deal, but what the hell was it? I didn't hear
that one. You know what? Let me get back to you
on that one. I thought there was another one,
too, but I think they were going to do it anyhow.
Yeah. But he took himself off the air when this
first suit came on. He goes, okay, I'm going
to step down for a little bit, and I'll probably
be back around football season. In the meantime,
he settled his suit, and then he came back and
said, all right, I'm ready. And ESPN said, well,
just one problem. You're fired. Yep. There was
something else, too, but I'll have to look it
up. I can't remember exactly what it was. It
wasn't nearly as big a deal. But I think that
just expedited it. Yeah, it started showing a
pattern of irresponsibility. I think they're
going to do it anyhow, but I think it's just
kind of like, okay, definitely do it now, get
him out of here. Let's see. Micah Parsons wants
out of Dallas in a big way. He is pissed. He's
angry. He's threatening. Dallas Cowboys owner
Jerry Yoda Jones says, Oh, don't lose sleep over
it. Yeah. Okay. But, yeah, Micah Parsons is talking
about pay me or let me go. You know, I'll go
to Kansas City. They want to win. Yeah, I'm trying
to look up that quote that he said, if it's true.
Yeah. Because, you know, we all know the Internet
is always true, but I just want to cover my bases.
Yeah, compare what Micah Parsons is doing, pay
me what I'm worth, and compare him to the WNBA
where they wear the T -shirt saying pay us what
you owe us. Now, the NFL makes billions of dollars
in profit every year. The WNBA loses $40 million
a year, and it's getting a supplementary alimony
payment from the NBA, and they're still losing
$40 million a year. So what you're owed is you
have to pay them because they're in the hole.
Just the lack of awareness of thinking that they
should be paid like the NBA players when they
aren't earning the type of revenue. that the
NBA players are making. Yeah, I'm not sure if
Micah Parsons said that. Probably somebody just
said it for him. Yeah, somebody said it for him.
But anyhow, whether he did or not, yeah. Basically
what he's saying is, you've got to pay me full
value because you guys suck. But if there's a
contender that wants to pay me less, I will definitely
go there. Yeah, that's understandable. And it's
perfectly... right for him to do that. He's trading
some cash for the chance to get the playoffs
and win a ring. Playoffs? Playoffs. What are
they? They're 10 deep right now. I hope they're
not drinking Old Crow. You know what? As long
as they got the podcast score, we'll get credit.
Yeah, there we go. In other WNBA news, there
was a recent game where one of the players had
her wig fall off in the middle of the game. They
stopped the game so she could run to the... locker
room and fix her cosmetics. What the fuck? That
game can be manipulated like that. Yeah. Why
didn't anyone just throw their wig off? And the
funny thing is when she came back out of the
locker room with her wig back on, a fan in the
crowd laughed at her and made fun of her. They
stopped the game again and threw that fan out.
Isn't that bullshit? Now, does the WNBA want
to fail? Because this is how you fail. Is you
do stupid things and then piss off your fans.
The problem is they thought that Caitlin Clark
was going to save them. But there's certain people
there that don't like her. She's getting fouled
like crazy. She's getting beat up. And then,
let's see, one or two days after the wig incident,
somebody threw this neon green dildo on the middle
of the floor during a game. And the camera zoomed
right in on it before they figured out what it
was. And then, to top it all off, WNBA player
Angel Reese in a press conference was trying
to flex to the reporters. She's saying, you know,
you all make $1 ,400 a week. I make $1 ,400 in
seven days. For what? She actually compared her
income over the exact same period to the reporter's
income. She can't do math. She can't add in her
head. And she thought she was so smart and so
clever. She failed third grade arithmetic, basically
is what she's saying. God. And we're supposed
to respect this league and this sport and jump
all on board. I've never respected it because
it's been built on a pretense like it was huge.
Yeah. And it's not. And really the basic bottom
line for me is, is it entertaining to me? And
the answer is no. No. So I'm not going to watch
it, whatever your reasons are. Oh, well, you
should, or you have to support. No, it's not
entertaining. I'm not watching it. I'm all for
it. I would love it if it was entertaining, but
right now it's just not that catchy. Yeah. I
mean. I'll watch boxing occasionally when it's
entertaining. I don't know why, but sometimes
I like boxing. I'll watch hockey every once in
a while if it's entertaining. But if a sport's
not entertaining, I'm not going to watch it just
because, oh, well, it's virtue signaling to show
that you're departing this and it's a good thing.
That's the same here. I agree. Because boxing
I used to watch all the time. Now I don't. Well,
the competition isn't there. Yeah. Back when
we had, I mean, all the way from Frazier and
Ali to Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis. Sugar Ray.
Sugar Ray. Yeah. Yeah. Jerry Jones, Roy Jones
Jr. All those guys were so good. Yeah. And now
there's like virtually nothing because MMA kind
of took over, you know. Yeah. I hear Tommy Morrison's
son is trying to get going. Yes, he is actually.
He is an open -hand hitter, boxer. And that shit
is brutal. You know, I've often wondered, what
if boxing had kept their original format to where
instead of a timed round, the round didn't end
until somebody got knocked down? I would love
that. So the round could go 20 minutes. And even
then, sometimes these fights went 15, 16, 17
rounds with someone getting knocked down every
stinking round. And if they could get back up,
then the round was over and you'd go to your
corner. If they couldn't get back up, then it's
a knockout. I like that. That's what used to
be. But see, you can't really bet efficiently
on that. So the game of boxing or the sport of
boxing was changed to make gambling more efficient.
They blame that. They blame that on CTE and all
that stuff. But actually, it's the betting thing.
Because you can put somebody on the ground by
hitting them in the belly. Yes. Body shots are
usually what take people down. It's leading to
the head. My grandfather, John Hughes, used to
box. He won Golden Gloves one time. Mostly amateur
boxing. But there was one bout that my grandmother
described where he was boxing this guy, and the
guy knew he was outmatched. So what he did is
he lowered his head, and he headbutted my grandfather
right in the nose and just flattened his nose.
Blood was streaming out. That's what Tyson used
to do. Yeah. To hear my grandmother tell it,
my grandfather was so mad, he was chasing the
guy at a dead run around the ring. The guy was
running so fast, like, this guy's going to kill
me because I broke his nose. Yeah, and he's still
there. He's like, okay, now it's your turn. Yep.
Didn't want that. Let's see, I only had two more
things. Terry McLaurin wants out of Washington,
but that's kind of a contract dispute kind of
thing. Yeah, I think that'll get settled. And
you know how they come out with mock drafts?
The first mock draft is already out, only this
time they're projecting farther ahead the next
April. This is the mock draft for April of 2037.
And the prediction is that each team's AI is
expected to make the draft picks based on the
betting line for each player. And the Titans,
who by that time have been bought by RuPaul and
moved to Chihuahua, Mexico, have the first pick.
The RuPaul Titans of Chihuahua, Mexico. And their
AI is going to make a pick. That's the 2037 draft.
You heard it here first. Yeah, no, thank you.
Okay, I was wanting to go over the schedule and
get the wins and losses, but I suddenly decided
it's too early for that. Okay. We want to wait
and see injuries and all that stuff and everything.
So what I have is an interesting story. Baker
Mayfield was asked a couple of questions on the
New Heights podcast, and we all know that that's
the Kelsey brothers. Yep. Not my problem anymore.
Baker Mayfield doesn't seem interested in talking
about the Browns, which I can see. I don't know
why. But, you know, Jason and Travis are both
from the Cleveland area. Yeah. So they grew up
around where Marilyn Manson grew up. Yes. Because
he was from Canton, Canton, Ohio, where the Hall
of Fame is. And I don't think he ever was. He
never went to the Hall of Fame. No, no, I don't
think so. All right. Baker Mayfield spent the
first four seasons of his career in Cleveland,
but if there's one thing he still has no interest
in talking about, it's definitely the Browns.
Yeah. During the latest episode of the New Heights
podcast with Jason and Travis Kelsey, Mayfield
joined the two brothers for an interview, and
they wanted to talk about the Browns. The Kelseys
are from Cleveland, and Jason still seems to
be a Browns fan, although I don't know why. So
he asked Baker how the Browns could fix their
quarterback situation. He should have said, they
shouldn't have got rid of me, but he didn't.
Yes. He did a commercial with Alice Cooper and
everything. I know. That's when I really started
liking him. I love the way Alice Cooper goes,
sure that's not yours? And he's like, yeah. Yeah.
And Alice is a Detroit Lions fan, so that was
pretty good that they got him to do a thing for
the Browns. It was good. Yeah. But it was a great
commercial. It was fun. And a lot of people don't
even realize the reason they met is because the
stadium and Rock Hall of Fame, which Alice is
in, are right next to each other. Yep. You can
park at one and walk to the other. Yep. So Mayfield
was taken by the Browns with the first overall
pick in 2018. Had zero interest in talking about
Cleveland's quarterback situation. He said, listen,
I plead the fifth, Mayfield said, before adding,
not my problem anymore. Yeah. That's smart because
he doesn't want to burn any bridges. No. He could
eventually go back to the Cleveland Browns organization
after he's finished playing, so he doesn't want
to piss him off. I was really kind of surprised
that Jason and Travis came up with that question.
Yeah. Because he was notorious for mouthing off
when he was younger. Oh. He doesn't want to do
it anymore. He got around, he's away from that,
he's mature, he's grown up. That's kind of a
baited, I thought it was kind of a baited question.
It's kind of like, yeah, oh yeah, well fuck him,
you know those guys. Or maybe they did it to
show that he grew up. Yeah, I was thinking maybe
they did that, maybe they talked about it in
advance and said, let's do this, so that way
everyone would get the idea and everyone else
would quit asking. So that might have been...
He might have even told them that and said, hey,
you know what? Could you guys do me a solid?
I'm on your program. We're friends. Yeah, let's
get the point out there that I ain't talking
about it, so quit asking. That would make sense.
Yeah, it could have been a setup. So anyhow,
like I said, I had the schedule that I wanted
to go over, and I think that's pretty much all
I had. Just two more stadium things. Seems like
Cincinnati's worked out all their stuff with
Paycor Stadium, and they're staying put for the
foreseeable future. Yeah, for now. The Browns
have gotten out of the art model law because
that apparently applies only for the state of
Ohio. And they're staying within the state so
they don't have to worry about it. But they're
starting to have problems with their stadium
design and the site. And it's not going as smoothly
as they thought. So it's not like it's all a
done deal and they're just moving ahead. They
still have to figure a bunch of stuff out. So
the Cleveland Stadium thing is... really seriously
don't believe they're staying where they are
no they're just not exactly sure where they're
going and what the stadium's gonna be yeah i
don't think it's a prop to try to get funding
or something i think it's actual they're like
look there's nothing here yeah well it's kind
of like the chiefs yeah they didn't build around
it no yeah big opportunity lost yeah if city
planners back in 70 71 when they were planning
and you know getting going on the stadium If
they had been able to peek into the future and
see how things are now, they would have been,
oh, hell, we're buying all the surrounding land.
We're developing. It's not out of it. We're going
to make a bunch of money. Back in the 70s, they
were still in that cow town phase. They did not
want to grow. That's true. They wanted to be
the little small town. They turned down developers
for J .C. Nichols. Yeah. You know, J .C. Nichols
didn't want these big developers coming in and
making it a big town way back then. They came
up with this envision of a skyscraper that would
be New York. manhattan worthy i mean they killed
it they killed it yeah uh you know they could
have easily told jc nichols you know what man
we have bigger fish look you can keep doing business
here if you want but if not then go because we
got these other contractors that are ready to
do these things and the ironic thing is jc nichols
he started in wyandotte county yeah and he built
some beautiful neighborhoods over there i've
delivered mail in those and they're gorgeous
gorgeous neighborhoods But he realized Wyandotte
County is too small. So then he thought, well,
Jackson County. And he went down and he built
the Country Club Plaza. But he couldn't work
with the county government. They weren't quite
as bribeable as Johnson County government was.
So he hopped a state line and did all his developing
in Johnson County because the county government
basically bent over and said, do whatever the
hell you want. We're just so happy for the tax
revenue we're going to get. Just do whatever
the hell you want. And actually, he screwed the
city instead of helped the city, in my opinion.
I mean, yeah. Well, then you had other forces
like Pendergast and stuff like that. They're
regulating everything. Yeah. Including the presidency
of the United States. Yes. Supposedly, well,
you were there, too, where Truman didn't give
a shit who he was or helped get him in office.
Uh -huh. He lost that big contract bid, and he
went in there to Truman's office, and he said,
hey, how come I didn't get the bid? He said,
well, next time have the lowest fucking bid.
Yep. Yeah. Pendergast is like, shit, I can't
control this guy. Well, I don't think he'll ever
get the credit for what he deserves, though.
And the reason is, is this right here. To end
a war on that type of a level, you have to live
with that the rest of your life. Yeah. I mean,
just vaporizing millions of people because you
ordered it. Yeah. But he knew it was going to
end the war rapidly. Yeah, yeah. The projections
were it was going to take an invasion force of
about 5 million soldiers into Japan, and the
casualties on all sides combined, killed and
injured, was going to be around the 12 million
mark. Yes. Because the Japanese were not going
to stop. They were going to fight until the last
person was dead. That was their philosophy. They
were very clear about it. I mean, for hell they
had kamikaze pilots who were flying their airplanes
into aircraft carriers. It was an honor to die
for your cause. They were like Klingons before
they were Klingons. Let me die in battle. That's
probably where they got the idea from. Yeah,
they did. Yeah, the Klingons were a cross between
the Soviet Russia and the World War II era Japan.
Yes. That was kind of the basis. Die for your
cause. It's an honor. So it was, you know. vaporize
a bunch of men women and children who aren't
combatants but were part of the war economy they
did every house in that city was building material
for the war every citizen in every house was
built so it was a valid military target um so
it was like you know vaporize you know a million
or two japanese or let 12 million people on all
sides get killed Yeah. Okay, let's do the easier
one. Look, it was the right decision, obviously.
Yeah. So, okay, he never really got full credit
for ending the war like he did. I mean, there's
still bat bombs going off over there. Yeah. We
tied a bunch of bombs to bats. Were they hand
grenades or what were they? I can't remember
if they're time, they had to have been time released,
right? Yeah, or a fuse that would break. Yeah,
yeah, something like that. So they'd jar around
in an attic. It would break off. Boom. And set
fire to everything. Yeah, set fire to everything.
Of course, the Japanese did that. They sent incendiaries
over on balloons. Yes. Because the prevailing
winds would blow right over the western and northwestern
United States. Yeah, they figured that out. They're
still finding unexploded, they call them chandelier
bombs, because they look like a big -ass chandelier
hanging under a gas -filled balloon. And there
was in the 1950s, there was a minister and his
family went on a picnic. And we went back to
the car to get something. And the wife and the
kids found one and touched it. Boom, they all
got vaporized. So, you know, 10, 11 years after
the war, people were still getting killed by
Japanese munitions in the U .S. Yeah. It was
a mess. It was messier on all sides. Oh, yeah.
But here's the interesting part. Paul Tibbetts.
was the guy in the Enola Gay who pushed the button
to release the bomb. And he told everyone, you
know, I'm going to do it. I'm going to take responsibility.
I'm the commander of this flight, so I'm going
to be the one doing it. There was a propaganda
smear campaign started after the war that said
that he had broken down mentally over the guilt
and that he was in mental institution and he
was just a destroyed human being. None of it's
true. He was perfectly fine, mentally sane, had
a great... rest of his life and career, etc.
But they started this smear campaign that, oh,
just the thought of driving that bomb drove him
insane. No, it didn't. Thanks for lying to us
liberals. Yeah, no, it was such bullshit. No,
he went to bed at night with a clear conscience
knowing he did what he had to do, like Harry
Truman. But the one thing that Harry Truman did
do was this right here. He did not run for re
-election. He'd had enough. He did his time.
He was like, that's it. He did four years as
vice president, and then he finished out FDR's
term, did four years as president, and he's like,
duh, that's not, no. FDR died in office, and
then he was re -elected. It's funny, FDR died
about, what, 10, 11 days before Hitler killed
himself. And when FDR died, Hitler was like,
yeah, this is it, this is the turning point.
And then less than two weeks later, he's like
blowing his own brains out in the bunker. If
that's true, if that's true. They did some DNA
and they said that that's not Eva Braun, Eva
Braun, Eva Braun. And Hitler, DNA. They had massive
infrastructure in place. to get people out of
the bunker to the airport or to a train station.
I've watched a TV program where they actually
got into the tunnel at the train station and
followed it back towards the bunker until it
was caved in. This is the actual tunnel. A full
-size train can fit down here, and they could
have had him at the Bonhoeff Airport in 10 minutes.
There was a lot of the Nazis that they didn't
kill, that they captured, that said that he is
not dead. He was not dead at the time. He is
now, of course. Oh, yeah. But he was not dead.
He probably... You know, if you want to go ahead
and commit to the he didn't die when they fainted,
he probably wouldn't want to last another 10
years anyway because his body was so drugged
up and destroyed. And didn't he have syphilis
really bad or something like that? He had Parkinson's
real bad. Parkinson's. And his doctor actually
did quite a bit to help the Allied cause because
he prescribed Hitler to all sorts of really awful,
toxic things, things with awful interactions.
He took probably 20 years off of Hitler's life
with the stuff he was given. It was like... Appreciate
it, dude. Yeah, then Hitler, I mean, you know,
he was destined to hell anyhow. Yeah. So, you
know, it didn't matter when he got there, I guess,
right? Yeah. And, yeah, I've seen video documentaries
over in South America where they have uncovered
these Nazi strongholds in the jungle. They still
have the Nazi memorabilia, and they've set up,
you know, here's the kitchen, here's the boiler
room, here's their water supply, here's their
motor pool. It's just kind of overgrown by the
jungle, but they spend millions and millions
of Reichsmarks, or whatever they're called, getting
ready to get... Hitler and other important Nazis
out of the country. Yeah, Reich Marx, Reich Marx.
Yeah, I think it's Reich Marx. So it's extremely
possible that he got out. And also, he was a
master of propaganda. Oh, yeah. He was the one
that invented it. You blow yourself up, and you
point at the other person and go, they did that.
Yes. What was it, the Reichstag fire? Yeah, the
rocket. He blamed the communists, and they said
it themselves. And they're over there going,
what the fuck? We didn't know. They even found
somebody to pin it on, a guy who was mentally
challenged and would say whatever they told him
to say. Yeah, we did. Yeah, I did it. I said
it on fire. I like balloons. We did it. So, you
know, when people complain about the way politics
is today, it's like, dude, I've seen it all before.
Yes. I've read books about it and seen it. This
isn't nice. This isn't anything new. Modern day
propaganda was taken from that. Yeah. Take him
from that vocabulary. Exactly. Yeah. So you get
the media on your side, and then you have everything
because people are sheep. They watch it and go,
oh, that's what's going on. Because David Muir
would never lie to me. Look at him. He's a nice
guy. I forgot I have one more football story
left. Oh, shit. Well, we weren't even going.
Yeah, I don't know. We weren't even going. We're
about an hour and a half into the show. Okay.
Remember we talked about Jihad Campbell? Yeah.
An Alabama football player is a linebacker drafted
by the Eagle. Now, his first name, Jihad, translates
directly to Holy War. So his name is Holy War
Campbell. Apparently, he has inspired another
football player. It's Kentucky State A &M's...
six -foot -four, 275 -pound edge rusher named
Bradford Jenkins. That was the story I forgot
to bring with me. Yeah, yeah. I told you, remember?
I said I had a story. Yeah. Go ahead. So now
Bradford Jenkins has been inspired by Holy War
Campbell, and he's changed his name to World
War II Jenkins. He was quoted as saying... When
I first read it, I laughed and thought, okay,
that's a joke. No. There we go. He said, I like
the idea of warfare and football mixing, and
I thought of the Crusades Jenkins or the Spanish
Inquisition Jenkins, but World War II was so
damn serious that I decided to go with World
War II. I agree with him. Yeah, it makes sense.
And he says his younger brother has changed his
name now to Korean War Jenkins. And he's got
a sister who's now known as Vietnam War Jenkins,
but he says she's a real bitch. But it was a
conflict. Yeah. She used to change it to conflict.
It was a police action. Police action, that's
right. And then the update I got this morning
off the Internet is World War II Jenkins and
his girlfriend, Talika Mason, have just welcomed
twin girls, Gulf War I and Gulf War II. Yeah,
and I thought that whole story was bullshit,
but then I looked it up and was like, wow, here
he is. Yeah, yeah. I can't wait. I mean, I can't
wait for him to hit the pros, hopefully. World
War II. I want to see that on the back of a jersey.
That is going to be so awesome. Yeah, yeah. Iron
Eagle would get a little competition with his
name. Yeah. Iron Eagle, Iron Eagle. Yeah, yeah.
Is it? Like his son, what the fuck's his son's
name? Like fucking Herbert Eagle or something
stupid. Nigel. Nigel Eagle. Apparently, in Great
Britain, the name Nigel is like the nerdiest
word ever. Well, yeah, that's a new character
that I'm working on. Nigel the Know -It -All.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, but Nigel the Know -It -All uncovers
bullshit, and I got some really good stories
from Nigel. All right. Yeah, because I have technical
explanation guy now. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and I got
a new one. that I'm going to put in tonight's
podcast. Not this one, because I don't know.
I could put it on this one, too. We're not that
serious. But, you know, he asked for, you know,
sodium chloride. He asked for, let's see, what
is it? Shit, I forgot the names of them. Dihydrogen
oxide. That's water. Water, yeah. I forgot. Negrum.
Something negrum is black pepper. Oh, yes. He
asked for that. Malt vinegar was acetic, malt
acetic acid. And he asked for the technical name,
and then he got a guy telling him, hey, are you
asking for the salt? And he's like, yeah. He
goes, say the salt, you dumb motherfucker. I
would like a small dosage of acetyl salicylic
acid, please. What? Aspirin. Oh, okay. Or the
one that I put in last week, toaster. Excuse
me, sir. I would like this piece of bread that
I like browned adequately in a coil, in a small
appliance with a heating coil and a spring load
that will properly brown my bread for me. Apply
enough heat to produce the Maillard reaction,
which will brown the bread. That's what I should
have put in there. And produce complex sugars,
and yeah, it's a whole thing. I had all three
of my siblings took chemistry. Plus, one of my
sons took chemistry, so I picked up a lot of
this by osmosis. Yes. Speaking of osmosis, we're
going to do the music creeps next. All righty.
So I guess we should wrap this beastie up. Yeah,
I'm out of stuff on here. Me too. All right.
I think we gave him an adequate amount of bullshit
for that. I believe so. All right. So you're
welcome. Hey, anyhow, thank you all for listening.
Go fuck yourself.
