00:00:07.019 --> 00:00:11.880
Back by popular demand, April 2nd, 2025. Welcome

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.679
to season two of The Bristle Boys. Returning

00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:19.460
to Mac, Angry Jay, The Donfather, our new host

00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:23.760
temporarily. Krakow, you know what is here? In

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:25.519
the round mound of sound, the executive engineer,

00:00:25.699 --> 00:00:30.120
Kevin Ross. Skygazer brewing still a major sponsor

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.920
But capital securities coming in in first place

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.780
Joe Morello a life Well planned good jet good

00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:43.140
guys Didn't skip a beat Back by popular demand.

00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:45.820
We've been away high school basketball season

00:00:45.820 --> 00:00:48.500
took a toll on us college season the NBA season

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:52.740
All of us have different interests Lottie and

00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:58.460
a commish They're out on a work leave here. We

00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:01.840
hope to get them back. Would you believe we haven't

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.719
been here since the Super Bowl and before that,

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:07.599
but luckily we weren't because we didn't have

00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.200
to talk about the freaking Eagles and Saquon

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.180
and all these guys. Angry Jay would have been

00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:13.980
gloating. You know, he's so positive he would

00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:16.879
have been bragging about his team. But this just

00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.500
in in football. Interesting news. The tush push.

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.959
I believe it's been tabled. several teams not

00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.280
in favor of this rule, this play that's allowed.

00:01:31.099 --> 00:01:32.980
Guys, what are your thoughts on the tush push,

00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.579
and will it be banned? Will it be banned? I don't

00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:38.659
think so. They only got 16, I think, votes. They

00:01:38.659 --> 00:01:40.980
need 24. I don't think they're gonna get the

00:01:40.980 --> 00:01:44.120
other eight votes. I'm a Giants fan, not an Eagles

00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.420
fan. I don't care if they ban it. They can do

00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:49.299
it better than we can, so I'm not mad at it.

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.379
I don't like it, but to be honest with you, we're

00:01:53.379 --> 00:01:55.659
gonna take away every hard play that people draw

00:01:55.659 --> 00:01:57.939
up. I mean, if you can't defend it, figure it

00:01:57.939 --> 00:02:03.099
out. Will it be banned? No. Angry? Do you want

00:02:03.099 --> 00:02:05.120
my opinion on this thing? No, I'm asking for

00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.699
everybody's opinion. I think it's absolutely

00:02:08.699 --> 00:02:13.319
horse shit that they're bringing it up now. One

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.240
team is good at it. Have you guys been paying

00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.360
attention to it? Sean McDermott is out there

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.439
yapping about. player safety in three years.

00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.740
They've been doing it. Zero people have gotten

00:02:23.740 --> 00:02:27.639
hurt. Um, and it's, it's hilarious that he's

00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.639
talking about safety because the MVP, his quarterback

00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.819
of the league ran at the second most times behind

00:02:34.819 --> 00:02:39.560
the Eagles. If everybody was good at it, like

00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.139
I would seriously consider saying, yeah, but

00:02:43.139 --> 00:02:44.800
the Eagles are good at it. They figured something

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.870
out. Um, I think it's a bunch of, If you're asking

00:02:49.870 --> 00:02:51.810
me too, do I think it's gonna be banned? I don't

00:02:51.810 --> 00:02:53.990
know if it'll be banned this year, but maybe

00:02:53.990 --> 00:02:56.669
one more year tops. Cause they had less than,

00:02:56.789 --> 00:02:58.610
they had like four or five people vote against

00:02:58.610 --> 00:03:00.750
it last year. I think Goodell's behind a lot

00:03:00.750 --> 00:03:03.509
of it. He doesn't like the play. For the people

00:03:03.509 --> 00:03:05.629
who say it doesn't look pretty. Like who cares?

00:03:06.050 --> 00:03:09.949
Like. It's old school football. Exactly. It's,

00:03:09.949 --> 00:03:12.250
it's mano a mano. The Eagles have a great offensive

00:03:12.250 --> 00:03:15.110
line that people seem to think like Saquon Barkley

00:03:15.110 --> 00:03:17.090
or the Eagles run it with Devante Smith sometimes.

00:03:17.310 --> 00:03:19.909
in the backfield. They think that's the whole

00:03:19.909 --> 00:03:23.009
reason they get the actual first down or a touchdown.

00:03:23.530 --> 00:03:26.949
It's comical. And it has been stopped. They just

00:03:26.949 --> 00:03:28.909
run it a lot because they're good at it. It was

00:03:28.909 --> 00:03:31.150
stopped like eight to 10 times this year. Jacksonville

00:03:31.150 --> 00:03:34.090
stopped it twice. Yeah. Packer stopped it twice

00:03:34.090 --> 00:03:36.530
in the first game of the year. Washington stopped

00:03:36.530 --> 00:03:38.810
it on a two -point conversion in the NFC championship

00:03:38.810 --> 00:03:42.569
game. To say it doesn't get stopped, it's literally,

00:03:42.710 --> 00:03:45.090
I mean, look at Buffalo. They did try it three

00:03:45.090 --> 00:03:46.889
times against Kansas City in the AFC Championship

00:03:46.889 --> 00:03:49.930
game and got zero. Makes for an interesting watch.

00:03:50.689 --> 00:03:52.930
But yeah, well, you know, if you're throwing

00:03:52.930 --> 00:03:54.409
the ball, if you're a basketball player and you

00:03:54.409 --> 00:03:56.169
keep throwing the ball inside and keep scoring,

00:03:56.389 --> 00:03:58.330
are you gonna keep doing it? Chief, one flew

00:03:58.330 --> 00:04:00.050
over. You know what I'm saying? So like, it's

00:04:00.050 --> 00:04:01.889
like, who cares what it looks like? Like who

00:04:01.889 --> 00:04:04.050
cares, if you're, you know, let me ask you guys

00:04:04.050 --> 00:04:06.659
this, if your team was really good at it. The

00:04:06.659 --> 00:04:09.180
only team that was really good at it. Would you

00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:11.259
want a band? Well, my team's not good at anything

00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:13.400
except throwing it to the other team. So but

00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.560
that's not the question The Cowboys are really

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.040
good at it and nobody else was well, I am gonna

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.060
say it's a boring It's not it's not like fun

00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:24.699
to get the red zone going and then they go they're

00:04:24.699 --> 00:04:26.500
in the red in the red, we're watching the red

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:28.420
zone. They're in the red zone and they're running

00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:30.319
out. It's like, come on, man. And it makes me

00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.540
think like, will Derrick Henry, will they put

00:04:32.540 --> 00:04:34.639
in a package where he's the tush push guy next

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.860
year? I mean, I would. Some teams have tried

00:04:37.860 --> 00:04:39.740
with the tight end. But should it be banned?

00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.600
No way. It's a football play. It's like old school

00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.000
football. Does it remind me of the beginning

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.420
of a rugby game? Yeah, but it's old school football.

00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:49.329
I mean, Djorkovic. Couldn't they have run the

00:04:49.329 --> 00:04:53.709
tush push down there? Yeah. None of the right

00:04:53.709 --> 00:04:56.970
moves. If they do ban it, they have to ban. How

00:04:56.970 --> 00:04:59.269
about crack? If Tomlin came up with it, would

00:04:59.269 --> 00:05:01.889
you be bitching about it? Jay's argumentative,

00:05:01.910 --> 00:05:04.250
but I agree with him. Jay's not argumentative.

00:05:06.589 --> 00:05:09.250
Jay's agreeable, easy going. I have no problem

00:05:09.250 --> 00:05:11.910
with it. I don't really love it, but figure it

00:05:11.910 --> 00:05:13.589
out. People gotta figure out how to stop it.

00:05:13.730 --> 00:05:16.879
Don father. Yeah. No, it's not going to be banned.

00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:19.199
Probably shouldn't. My only question is, they

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.779
go back to their rule where a defensive player

00:05:20.779 --> 00:05:22.480
can't push another guy, but the offensive player

00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.740
can. Let him do it on defense then too. So I

00:05:25.740 --> 00:05:27.519
agree with that. But here's the thing, like you

00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.899
guys watch football all the time. If a running

00:05:29.899 --> 00:05:32.180
back runs through the line of scrimmage, and

00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:34.579
it happens at least once a game, the guy, he

00:05:34.579 --> 00:05:37.160
gets stacked up, not tackled, but just stacked

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:38.600
up on defense, and the line would come down and

00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.019
start blasting the guy forward. and hear the

00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:42.819
announcer go, oh, we're going to leg drive. And

00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:44.920
we think that the 1 ,200 pounds of humanity push

00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.720
them in the other direction. Yeah, whatever happened

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.980
to forward progress? That, I think, should be

00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:51.000
banned. So that's my point. So if they're going

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.040
to stop the tush push, that has to be stopped,

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.480
too. Remember when it was banned and USC Notre

00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.029
Dame played an act? and like the most obvious.

00:05:59.629 --> 00:06:01.829
Reggie Bush pushed in Leonard, right? Yeah, I

00:06:01.829 --> 00:06:04.930
thought it was white. It might have been Lendell

00:06:04.930 --> 00:06:07.870
White. Lendell White. But executive producer,

00:06:08.089 --> 00:06:09.529
you're the only one that has been in the trenches

00:06:09.529 --> 00:06:14.610
here. What do you think? Like you said, I think

00:06:14.610 --> 00:06:17.949
it's old school football. And unless the rulebook

00:06:17.949 --> 00:06:20.769
is states that you can't push another, you know,

00:06:21.350 --> 00:06:23.230
like push the player. But we've been doing that

00:06:23.230 --> 00:06:27.620
since day one, you know. Just make the pile move,

00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:30.339
you know? And again, it's only for the last,

00:06:30.339 --> 00:06:33.040
what, two, three yards, usually. They're not

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.339
going five, 10 yards, you know? So it's a goal

00:06:36.339 --> 00:06:39.259
line stand, just like it used to be. And if you

00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:40.860
have the best offensive line, you're gonna win

00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:47.680
that eight out of 10 times. All right, close

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.860
the book on football, Cowboys in 2025 or six

00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:54.129
or whatever you're gonna call it. Okay. hoop

00:06:54.129 --> 00:06:56.189
season, the NBA's coming to an end, which means

00:06:56.189 --> 00:06:58.769
we have about six months of playoffs coming up,

00:06:59.730 --> 00:07:02.269
right? NCAA tournament being wrapped up and the

00:07:02.269 --> 00:07:04.029
high school season's over. Let's talk about the

00:07:04.029 --> 00:07:06.810
NBA. First of all, who gets rookie of the year?

00:07:07.449 --> 00:07:10.290
Is it our guy? One of our guys? It's Castle,

00:07:10.370 --> 00:07:13.949
right? It's gotta be, right? And did McCain ever

00:07:13.949 --> 00:07:16.870
have a shot at this? I mean, does him being out

00:07:16.870 --> 00:07:20.389
hurt him? I don't know, that's a good question.

00:07:20.529 --> 00:07:23.569
I don't know, I don't know. And Donovan, how

00:07:23.569 --> 00:07:26.370
many do they list as receiving votes, like five,

00:07:26.370 --> 00:07:28.750
six? I think it's five. He's gotta get votes,

00:07:28.910 --> 00:07:32.750
right? I mean, he had a phenomenal year. Probably

00:07:32.750 --> 00:07:36.649
he'll get votes, yeah, I'm sure. I mean, unless

00:07:36.649 --> 00:07:38.810
you're just gonna fall in love with points per

00:07:38.810 --> 00:07:42.329
game, he's had a phenomenal year. And some people

00:07:42.329 --> 00:07:44.149
are like, oh, they expect him to do more. Who's

00:07:44.149 --> 00:07:47.610
that? He's learning the game. He's getting up

00:07:47.610 --> 00:07:49.449
and down the court. He's been pretty durable.

00:07:49.829 --> 00:07:51.709
He's second in the NBA in blocks. Second in the

00:07:51.709 --> 00:07:54.009
NBA in blocks. I thought it was maybe in top

00:07:54.009 --> 00:07:57.449
five rebounds for 32 minutes. Yeah, per 32. I

00:07:57.449 --> 00:08:01.769
think that's unbelievable. I think that the off

00:08:01.769 --> 00:08:04.610
season is a time when polish needs to occur on

00:08:04.610 --> 00:08:07.860
the offensive end. As you said, if you throw

00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:09.259
the ball inside and score all the time, well,

00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:10.720
they don't throw the ball inside. You know, you

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.620
come down one end of the court, three, go down

00:08:12.620 --> 00:08:14.120
the other end of the court, rebound to three,

00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:16.040
go down the other end of the court. Some other

00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:17.899
clown in your team takes a three. It's a three

00:08:17.899 --> 00:08:20.160
-point shooting contest. I thought I would love

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.939
it, but the true Renaissance man, Steph Curry,

00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:25.819
you know, people say he changed the game. He

00:08:25.819 --> 00:08:28.060
did. He changed it for the worse. All these kids

00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:28.839
want to be hit. Well, it's not really his fault,

00:08:28.980 --> 00:08:30.379
though. Yeah, it's not. I mean, because he's

00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:32.940
so good at it. Yeah, and everybody else thinks

00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:36.700
they can pay that credit. So just by emulating

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:39.539
him, they've really killed this sport, I think.

00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:42.360
I had a big question, we might as well get into

00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.919
it right now. Of the big sports, so we're gonna

00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:52.259
exclude hockey. NFL, MLB, NBA. I mean, what right

00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:54.100
now, which one of those sports has the upper

00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:56.500
hand from an entertainment and just a sheer sports

00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:59.980
fan standpoint? NFL. But the NFL was terrible

00:08:59.980 --> 00:09:02.440
this year. The first six or seven weeks there

00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:06.399
was garbage scoring. Like the quarterbacks weren't

00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.480
as good as they've been. I don't know if that's

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.139
due to the preseason and nobody plays in it or

00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:13.539
you can't play football during the week and then

00:09:13.539 --> 00:09:15.940
you only play on Sunday. Can't tackle anybody.

00:09:16.100 --> 00:09:17.840
And if you get tackled one time, you get hurt.

00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.100
Angry, what do you think? I think it's, I'll

00:09:21.100 --> 00:09:23.100
agree with these guys. I mean, football is the

00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:25.740
most popular. I think part of it is. they play

00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:28.139
once a week. You know, you look, like I don't

00:09:28.139 --> 00:09:30.039
know about you guys, but I'd love, there's nothing

00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.360
like Sundays for me. Like I literally at like

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.440
12 45 to 12 45 at night. That's all I do is watch

00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.120
football. Like I watch the terrible teams. I

00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:41.919
watched the Thursday game. I watched the Monday.

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:44.039
It doesn't matter. Like I think it's taken a

00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.679
huge step back. I tell you what, I tell you what,

00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.100
I think the NBA is in, like there's some things

00:09:49.100 --> 00:09:50.820
that are, you had mentioned about all the threes,

00:09:50.980 --> 00:09:53.779
but Like if you look at it man, just some of

00:09:53.779 --> 00:09:57.519
these teams are it's brutal like The top five

00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.519
or six teams in the East are playing and everybody

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.000
else is basically tanking I mean you see what

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.120
Utah does every like they haven't tried to They're

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.940
trying so bad to get Cooper flag. They haven't

00:10:06.940 --> 00:10:08.799
tried winning They take their starters out in

00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.159
close games in the fourth quarter. It's it's

00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.440
it's awful the Sixers Like they're a team that

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.039
was supposed to be one of the better teams in

00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.679
the East. They're an embarrassment. They're on

00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.379
the shelf. Yeah, I mean, first of all, the fact

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:20.240
that aren't that he doesn't play here, aren't

00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:21.820
they? He just denounced that he's getting knee

00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:23.960
surgery again. Good thing the way that it sounds

00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:25.600
like the Yankees wait till the year is over to

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.960
get it. But then, you know, poultry, they don't

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.340
even let Maxie play. They just make up, you know,

00:10:30.340 --> 00:10:33.460
like he's fun to watch. Like he's awesome. But

00:10:33.460 --> 00:10:36.139
they they're like, hey, we can't win it. So we're

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:37.559
not going to win any games. That's why I think

00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:40.259
they got a huge problem. Never mind just shooting

00:10:40.259 --> 00:10:42.799
threes. I mean, Look at that. If you look at

00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:44.559
like the six years are literally like three and

00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.539
twenty five in the last twenty eight games and

00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:48.220
they tried losing the other three that they won

00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:50.960
and they were supposed to be good. Yeah. But,

00:10:51.059 --> 00:10:52.379
you know, they're all in on the tank because

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:55.240
they know they can't win. That's that's that's

00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.000
to me is a problem, you know, because they've

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.100
tried to take steps toward it by including two

00:11:00.100 --> 00:11:01.960
more playoff teams and that kind of stuff. Yeah,

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.399
it's not working. So what's going to happen this

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.620
year in football? The tanking is going to be

00:11:06.620 --> 00:11:08.779
crazy. The tanking for Arch Manning this year,

00:11:08.779 --> 00:11:11.480
it's going to be. Insane. What's going to happen?

00:11:11.659 --> 00:11:13.240
You guys agree with that, Don Father. I think

00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.159
you're way off with that. No way. They already

00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.840
talk about it. Why didn't you play Manning? If

00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.919
he's that good, why didn't he play? He's they're

00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:23.919
going to tank for him. There's always been tanking

00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.700
in every sport, but maybe the NBA has just gotten

00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:28.480
so like somebody like there's literally like

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:32.360
10, 10 to 12 teams that don't try to win now.

00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:35.019
Like they've made rules that you're not as actually

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:37.860
like I pick them to like win less than 20. I

00:11:37.860 --> 00:11:39.899
don't know if you remember this. Yeah, they they

00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:41.740
want a bunch they they keep playing but there's

00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:43.639
like some of these teams. It's like it's embarrassing

00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.600
So my question here's another one only three

00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.139
games. So so like how good is how good is somebody

00:11:48.139 --> 00:11:51.960
like Oklahoma City? Like yeah, right there on

00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:55.700
pace to win like 67 68 games. They think I'm

00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:57.100
thinking about like ten teams don't even try

00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:01.139
to win Yeah, so there's I mean so like are they

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:03.019
are they like legendary good if they win the

00:12:03.019 --> 00:12:04.850
championship or they just kind of like Pretty

00:12:04.850 --> 00:12:07.970
good. I don't think they're legendary good. If

00:12:07.970 --> 00:12:10.090
they win close to 70 games, like you start talking

00:12:10.090 --> 00:12:13.669
about like, only one team has won 70 games, or

00:12:13.669 --> 00:12:15.509
two teams actually, the Bulls and the Warriors,

00:12:15.730 --> 00:12:18.590
right? Have won 70 games. Like they have a shot

00:12:18.590 --> 00:12:20.230
at it. One of them didn't win the trip anyway,

00:12:20.269 --> 00:12:24.090
so. Yeah, but track me. But these teams, they're

00:12:24.090 --> 00:12:26.049
like, I don't know, it's, you know what they

00:12:26.049 --> 00:12:28.289
say to plumbers and all that in the 80s? Yeah.

00:12:28.730 --> 00:12:31.450
They would pound on that team. I mean, I know.

00:12:31.549 --> 00:12:33.129
from a talent standpoint, it'd be hard to keep

00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:35.549
up with some of those guys, but like from a tough

00:12:35.549 --> 00:12:39.289
guy standpoint, depending on the rules you're

00:12:39.289 --> 00:12:41.389
using. They're one of the few teams that actually

00:12:41.389 --> 00:12:44.070
plays solid defense. OKC, they have good defenders

00:12:44.070 --> 00:12:46.149
up and down the lineup and they're different

00:12:46.149 --> 00:12:47.909
than most of the other teams. Celtics do, though.

00:12:48.490 --> 00:12:50.389
They can defend when they have to. Most teams,

00:12:50.389 --> 00:12:52.570
I don't think can, but I think the best three

00:12:52.570 --> 00:12:53.990
teams in the league can all play clean when they

00:12:53.990 --> 00:12:56.169
play defense, Celtics and OKC. Celtics kind of

00:12:56.169 --> 00:12:58.909
scare me with the they can turn it on type of

00:12:58.909 --> 00:13:01.529
thing. I don't think it's been as consistent

00:13:01.529 --> 00:13:03.909
as a, they're playing pretty well now. I know

00:13:03.909 --> 00:13:08.470
they are, but they've had some bad ones. They

00:13:08.470 --> 00:13:10.629
just gotta stay healthy. They gotta keep Porzingis.

00:13:10.889 --> 00:13:12.509
He's gotta be able to play in the playoffs. They'll

00:13:12.509 --> 00:13:14.250
have a tough time beating Cleveland without him.

00:13:15.110 --> 00:13:18.769
Cleveland for real? Absolutely. How about the

00:13:18.769 --> 00:13:22.070
West? West is so interesting to me. Maybe just

00:13:22.070 --> 00:13:25.549
because I kinda got it for Steph. I have a question

00:13:25.549 --> 00:13:27.409
for you guys in a minute, but you got LeBron

00:13:27.409 --> 00:13:30.080
and Luca on the same team. You got the joker,

00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:32.840
who after Steph goes off last night, throws up

00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:36.779
a 60 point triple double. Draymond gets a triple

00:13:36.779 --> 00:13:40.519
double. In a loss, by the way. Butlers, you know,

00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.919
I think he's made quite an impact on the Warriors.

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:49.139
And like, how about this? As of today, the Warriors

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:52.320
and Lakers would play the first round after that

00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.200
play -in nonsense. At least one of them has to

00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:55.379
lose. That's the only good thing about it. That

00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:59.460
is great. I just hope it's the Lakers. My words

00:13:59.460 --> 00:14:01.779
are 18 and two and Stefan but we're playing the

00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:05.059
same game 18 to pretty nice at Jimmy Butler start

00:14:05.059 --> 00:14:06.980
playing again, huh? There was another problem

00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:09.639
with the NBA. Yeah, right. You didn't feel like

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.259
playing in Miami and now he goes there and he

00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:13.120
doesn't miss any. Well, it's guaranteed money,

00:14:13.139 --> 00:14:15.240
which is going to be a huge theme throughout

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:19.639
this pod. Guaranteed money so you get to do whatever

00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.139
you want and you don't care how you're perceived.

00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.090
That's this we've. You think our predecessors

00:14:26.090 --> 00:14:28.570
went through this? Because I can remember my

00:14:28.570 --> 00:14:30.970
dad and stuff like that being disenchanted with

00:14:30.970 --> 00:14:33.169
pro sports. And you're like, how could they not

00:14:33.169 --> 00:14:35.730
love it like I do? And now I feel like that.

00:14:36.269 --> 00:14:39.690
I'm starting to be salty about stuff. Now I'm

00:14:39.690 --> 00:14:42.289
sure back then it was, they spiked the ball in

00:14:42.289 --> 00:14:44.090
the NFL. I'm not going to ever watch it again.

00:14:44.669 --> 00:14:46.990
But tanking and sitting out and being a baby

00:14:46.990 --> 00:14:50.309
and making gun gestures and getting your coach

00:14:50.309 --> 00:14:53.840
fired, these guys are crazy. You think that,

00:14:53.860 --> 00:14:57.360
I mean, the cycle of life, I guess that are we

00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.360
being our fathers? Is that what's going on? Basketball

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.000
is the most frustrating sport to be a fan of

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.820
with everything you just said. It's the most

00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:04.740
frustrating sport because I love watching it

00:15:04.740 --> 00:15:07.340
in the playoffs. But the regular season is so

00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:08.700
frustrating because of all the things that you

00:15:08.700 --> 00:15:11.649
just said. It's so frustrating. I wish I was

00:15:11.649 --> 00:15:13.789
open minded enough to consider hockey a sport.

00:15:14.370 --> 00:15:16.730
No, it's a sport, but like, I just don't like

00:15:16.730 --> 00:15:18.409
it. We don't have the whalers, so I don't want

00:15:18.409 --> 00:15:20.129
to watch it. If the whalers were still here,

00:15:20.129 --> 00:15:22.789
you'd like it. I know I like it then. Yeah. What

00:15:22.789 --> 00:15:25.610
hockey game in person? Yeah. Yeah. Playoff hockey.

00:15:25.610 --> 00:15:30.210
Grim Reaper. Yeah. Yeah. Tipit and Deneen. Blaine.

00:15:30.330 --> 00:15:33.129
Yeah. That number was Blaine Stouten. Oh, God,

00:15:33.309 --> 00:15:36.610
I forgot it too. Killing me. Yeah, I know. 28,

00:15:36.850 --> 00:15:41.049
Liute. Leah was one. Weeks? 31. Every time I

00:15:41.049 --> 00:15:43.490
went weeks was in goal. Frickin' Leah had 100

00:15:43.490 --> 00:15:45.610
saves the night before I got to see Weeksy. I

00:15:45.610 --> 00:15:50.690
like Darren Tarkat, but. Anyway, interesting

00:15:50.690 --> 00:15:52.850
first round if it's Warriors, Lakers out there

00:15:52.850 --> 00:15:57.789
in the West. So guys, dead serious here. When

00:15:57.789 --> 00:16:01.970
is Steph Curry gonna get mentioned in this goat,

00:16:02.149 --> 00:16:06.480
not goat, but like, when are we gonna say? Who's

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.600
better LeBron or Steph? I mean, this guy's amazing.

00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:13.620
He's getting double digit threes in a lot of

00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:15.799
these games, and that's with another alpha on

00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.500
his team now. He's completely said, and then

00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:20.299
he said last night, I got a lot in the tank still,

00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:23.200
or the tanks on full. You have 12 last night,

00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:25.139
12 threes last night? People think he's on the

00:16:25.139 --> 00:16:28.000
way out. I mean, his teammates have so much confidence

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:29.639
in him. Now they're doing the turnaround thing

00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:32.500
on the bench when he shoots a three. Like, when

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:34.659
is he going to get mentioned in these kind of

00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:37.059
debates? And just real quick, do you got him

00:16:37.059 --> 00:16:40.200
in your top 10 of all time? I think he's right

00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.580
around that 910 for me. He's moved up a couple

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:44.139
of notches the last couple of years for sure.

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:46.159
Winning that championship without Durant for

00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.399
me moved him up over Durant and into that top

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:51.580
10. Well, Durant just needed to stay healthy.

00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:53.720
And by the way, what a gamer like these guys

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.639
that don't play. This guy said, all right, I

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.580
got an Achilles is going to snap any second.

00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:01.340
Tape it up. We're going to try to beat the Warriors

00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:04.059
or the Raptors. Right. And then those loser Canadian

00:17:04.059 --> 00:17:07.259
fans are booing them. Right. cheering him when

00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:08.839
he went down that day. I thought it was a heroic

00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.960
thing. I know he's got like a weird big mouth

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:13.579
and political views and stuff like that. But

00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:16.819
like he shouts back at people that roast him.

00:17:17.859 --> 00:17:20.319
But he's a basketball player. He's one of the

00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:21.940
best scorers, I would say, of all time. Right.

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.299
I mean, but absolutely. So, Jay, what do you

00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:27.220
have? What do you have, Steph? That's a good

00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:30.259
question. I definitely have him probably in the

00:17:30.259 --> 00:17:36.289
top 15. What position would you say is? First

00:17:36.289 --> 00:17:38.150
of all, are there positions anymore? I am not

00:17:38.150 --> 00:17:40.049
asking that what position would you say a shooting

00:17:40.049 --> 00:17:41.410
yard? Isn't there's no way he's a point guard

00:17:41.410 --> 00:17:46.029
see six four six three He's they'd list them

00:17:46.029 --> 00:17:48.250
as a point guard to it, which is comical I mean

00:17:48.250 --> 00:17:49.750
have you ever seen a point guard who comes down

00:17:49.750 --> 00:17:51.710
and passes the bottle guy and then runs off 47

00:17:51.710 --> 00:17:53.829
screens to get a shot boy He gets a lot of steps

00:17:53.829 --> 00:17:56.609
in doesn't he? Yeah, I mean, I'm not should be

00:17:56.609 --> 00:18:00.309
like that curry. How was he? Yeah How was he

00:18:00.309 --> 00:18:03.319
how was he a point guard? He shoot first, right?

00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:05.140
And he should be. You could be soft and calm,

00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:06.779
what everybody else does that can't make up their

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:10.660
mind. A combo guard, right? Come on. He's a shooting

00:18:10.660 --> 00:18:13.319
guard. He's a two. But they list him as a point

00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:15.079
guard. People say, like, oh, he's the best point

00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:16.799
guard of all time. Do you consider him a point

00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.359
guard? No, I think he has amazing handle, but

00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.900
that doesn't make him a point guard. Yeah, I

00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:25.400
agree with that. But to me, a point guard is

00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.920
a guy who sets up his teammates first. And he's

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.230
not that. He's... get him the ball so we get

00:18:30.230 --> 00:18:32.490
him a shot. And he's the new assistant GM of

00:18:32.490 --> 00:18:35.950
the Davidson whatever they're called. We'll get

00:18:35.950 --> 00:18:38.369
back to that in a minute. Wildcats. Is it the

00:18:38.369 --> 00:18:42.349
Bobcats? Bob McCollip. Bob McCollip. He retired

00:18:42.349 --> 00:18:44.589
a couple years ago. Anyway, he has a new GM and

00:18:44.589 --> 00:18:46.630
Trey Young's the assistant GM for Oklahoma after

00:18:46.630 --> 00:18:49.730
he spent three months or four months there. We'll

00:18:49.730 --> 00:18:51.750
get back to that in a minute college GMs and

00:18:51.750 --> 00:18:56.359
assistant GMs. NBA, whatever, playoffs will be

00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.940
fun. Maybe teams will play hard for, you know,

00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:01.920
how many minutes is it? 48? 48? Maybe they'll

00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:06.119
play hard for 48, maybe they won't. But that's

00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.339
always a fun four or five months, the NBA playoffs.

00:19:09.779 --> 00:19:12.339
Not like Don Fowler said though, like the playoffs

00:19:12.339 --> 00:19:15.640
are a whole different. It's a whole different

00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.059
season. It's four months. We're gonna be watching

00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:20.480
in July, dude. Outside, right there. Yeah, right

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:22.819
there. We'll be watching the finals. Don Father

00:19:22.819 --> 00:19:24.960
Studio. The season starts two months later. You

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:26.740
were talking about Steph and how he ranks. Somebody

00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:29.599
today on ESPN was mentioning, where does Jokic

00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:31.839
rank now among the greatest, not players, but

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.000
centers? And somebody today said they had him

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.299
ranked as the second all -time. It was Jay Williams

00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:40.099
talking about saying he is everybody as good

00:19:40.099 --> 00:19:45.220
as Kareem Hakim and Shaq. I'll call BS on that.

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.619
I love the guys. Is that from all the times Jay

00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:51.339
Williams watched Kareem? Yeah, must have been.

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:54.059
Somebody else said he was not in the top four,

00:19:54.140 --> 00:19:55.660
couldn't be in the top four, but right after

00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:57.380
that. I mean, he could have played against Shaq

00:19:57.380 --> 00:19:59.339
and he decided to run a motorcycle into a wall

00:19:59.339 --> 00:20:00.700
so he didn't have to, so I don't want to hear

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:02.619
about that. I think it was a tree. Whatever.

00:20:04.819 --> 00:20:09.710
Ask Chris Dudley the same question. Yeah. I don't

00:20:09.710 --> 00:20:12.009
agree with that. Championships have to count

00:20:12.009 --> 00:20:15.369
for something, and he's talking about 60 points

00:20:15.369 --> 00:20:17.990
or whatever, blah, blah. Totally bagged him.

00:20:19.930 --> 00:20:23.690
All right, so moving right along to the best

00:20:23.690 --> 00:20:28.470
sport ever besides baseball, college hoops. Boy,

00:20:28.589 --> 00:20:31.369
I used to, college hoops was the best sport,

00:20:31.549 --> 00:20:33.289
but it's over now. We don't have it anymore.

00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.400
And it's almost fitting that this is the worst

00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.859
tournament I can ever remember. Not just in terms

00:20:42.859 --> 00:20:44.680
of the one buzzer beater when a guy traveled,

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.569
but like. just there wasn't any good games. There's

00:20:47.569 --> 00:20:49.930
nothing coming down to the wire. I guess there

00:20:49.930 --> 00:20:52.589
was a good weekend this past weekend. Very competitive

00:20:52.589 --> 00:20:55.250
teams. I'd love to know the salaries that they're

00:20:55.250 --> 00:20:59.829
starting, you know, five minutes. This is what

00:20:59.829 --> 00:21:03.269
have we or they done here? I mean, we've been

00:21:03.269 --> 00:21:05.009
talking about it a little bit off and on. What

00:21:05.009 --> 00:21:11.390
have we done? We've eliminated mid -majors being

00:21:11.390 --> 00:21:14.109
any, being relevant ever again. Because if you

00:21:14.109 --> 00:21:17.849
have a good mid look at the kid for Florida Like

00:21:17.849 --> 00:21:20.029
he's been the best player in the tournament.

00:21:20.250 --> 00:21:22.269
I learned and play actually played men the best

00:21:22.269 --> 00:21:24.450
player the shots He made against you can play

00:21:24.450 --> 00:21:27.269
in yeah, and the other night. He's a man like

00:21:27.269 --> 00:21:31.269
this. Where's he from? made major yeah, was he

00:21:31.269 --> 00:21:34.400
Iona or I Was he from my farm? Yeah, he's not

00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.000
from my farm. I don't know where he's from. Like

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.299
it's hard to keep track anymore. They used to

00:21:39.299 --> 00:21:41.160
take pride in knowing like most of the starters.

00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:42.740
So if you're any good in the ACC or something.

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:44.599
If you're any good in the mid -major, you're

00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.339
playing somewhere else. And I don't even, I don't,

00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:49.940
as bad as it is, yeah, it's basically, there's

00:21:49.940 --> 00:21:51.940
a farm team for, you know, there's new teams.

00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:53.779
Like Indiana has no players. Did you see that?

00:21:54.099 --> 00:21:56.339
Look at Drake and McNeese State. Their entire

00:21:56.339 --> 00:21:59.430
starting five are transferring. Indiana had no

00:21:59.430 --> 00:22:02.029
players roster of as of like four or five days

00:22:02.029 --> 00:22:05.349
ago six guys graduated seven guys in the portal

00:22:05.349 --> 00:22:08.809
Yeah, well on that same subject I know you know

00:22:08.809 --> 00:22:10.690
wasn't a good year for the scarlet Knights given

00:22:10.690 --> 00:22:12.809
those two guys that they have but the next best

00:22:12.809 --> 00:22:16.109
freshman they had Arguably the inside presence

00:22:16.109 --> 00:22:18.069
Lathan Somerville who can't dunk the ball because

00:22:18.069 --> 00:22:21.329
he can't get over ten feet But he got a smooth

00:22:21.329 --> 00:22:23.470
touch and he's got some mocks. He complains a

00:22:23.470 --> 00:22:26.140
lot but like During the NCAA tournament, him

00:22:26.140 --> 00:22:28.319
and many others entered a name in a portal. Which,

00:22:28.380 --> 00:22:29.559
why are we doing it during the tournament? What

00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:31.279
are you, a rider announcing an extension during

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.339
a World Series? I mean, do you need the attention

00:22:33.339 --> 00:22:35.359
that bad? Did you get any toys when you were

00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:40.519
a kid? I mean, seriously, can you wait? But why

00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:41.759
Washington? They don't have the portal open in

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.140
the middle of the tournament. That's what I'm

00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:46.980
talking about. It's not their fault. The portal

00:22:46.980 --> 00:22:51.299
is just open. I agree with you, executive producer,

00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:54.359
but here's the thing. Like I said, what have

00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:56.180
we done to this game? When I say we, it's not

00:22:56.180 --> 00:23:00.460
us, it's the NCAA who has the most spineless

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:04.039
group ever. Football is probably a year or two

00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:06.779
from just saying bye -bye. I gotta say this,

00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.000
I don't blame the players though. I don't blame

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.619
the players. You can't, it's human nature. The

00:23:12.619 --> 00:23:15.940
NCAA is getting what they... So years ago, it's

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:17.720
coming back to haunt them. But the problem is,

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.380
it's the Supreme Court rulings that are allowing

00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:23.680
all of this to happen. And the question is contracts.

00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:26.680
Like, all right, you're being paid. You're getting

00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.680
paid. The minimum two -year contracts with these

00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:32.940
teams. Something. Every year, moving around,

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:34.599
it's not good for the players. It's not good

00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:36.119
for the teams. It's not good for the fans. It's

00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:40.000
not good for the product. And again, and maybe

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.920
a cap, maybe the NCAA has to say some kind of

00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:44.980
cap, because the SEC is supposed to come out,

00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:46.759
right? The settlement in July 1st or whatever?

00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:49.660
Eat everyone's lunch, because of all the football

00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:51.980
money they have. Well, and that's happening right

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:53.200
now. Why are there 14 teams in the NCAA tournament?

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:59.740
Well, hold on. While we're on that, J. Billis,

00:24:00.859 --> 00:24:02.460
him and Shashevsky were chatting. Did you guys

00:24:02.460 --> 00:24:07.490
see this? Billis said, I think it needs tweaking,

00:24:07.710 --> 00:24:11.829
but I think this is his idea. When you sign an

00:24:11.829 --> 00:24:15.109
NIL deal, which by the way, name, image, likeness,

00:24:15.109 --> 00:24:17.130
what happened to you making money off of working

00:24:17.130 --> 00:24:19.029
at camp and a t -shirt with your name on it?

00:24:19.049 --> 00:24:22.450
I mean, Jesus, straight up cash and bags? What

00:24:22.450 --> 00:24:27.950
is that? Now it's legal. NIL. But Bill has said

00:24:27.950 --> 00:24:30.970
- It's paid out by them making appearances and

00:24:30.970 --> 00:24:32.470
doing work. I don't freaking care. I'm not saying

00:24:32.470 --> 00:24:34.890
they have to do that stuff, but it's not just.

00:24:35.309 --> 00:24:38.970
for the basketball. Don't care. I get you. No,

00:24:39.250 --> 00:24:41.529
but Jay Bill has said something to the effect

00:24:41.529 --> 00:24:44.490
of when you sign with a school, it's a three

00:24:44.490 --> 00:24:48.269
year contract. And if you want out, you have

00:24:48.269 --> 00:24:53.789
to buy it out. So if Washington wants to buy

00:24:53.789 --> 00:24:57.029
out Lathan Somerville, then they got to pay back

00:24:57.029 --> 00:25:01.130
Rutgers the money that he was going to be getting

00:25:01.130 --> 00:25:04.420
or got a record like not. to the cent, but there's

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:07.160
gotta be some sort of buyout where, and by the

00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:08.480
way, I think it's heading in this direction.

00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:11.720
If these schools are hiring GMs and assistant

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.059
GMs. Well, they all are now. This is something.

00:25:14.329 --> 00:25:16.589
I wouldn't be surprised if in two or three years

00:25:16.589 --> 00:25:18.730
they start trading players. I'm not even kidding.

00:25:19.250 --> 00:25:22.430
This is nuts, but I don't think you can do that.

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.400
and the coaches all meet and they say, we'll

00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.380
give you this guy for that guy. I'm not saying

00:25:38.380 --> 00:25:39.640
it's gonna happen. That's not what I'm saying.

00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:43.299
I'm saying that's the next step. You have a kid

00:25:43.299 --> 00:25:45.839
who's a freshman, like he gets traded to Washington,

00:25:45.900 --> 00:25:47.579
you're gonna say, okay, he's gonna move across

00:25:47.579 --> 00:25:49.119
the country? Well, this is a different story.

00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:50.819
These guys aren't paying for anything, man. They

00:25:50.819 --> 00:25:54.259
don't pay for anything, right? Now they definitely

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:56.539
aren't paying for anything. But anyway, gotta

00:25:56.539 --> 00:25:59.920
be a buyout. So the Somerville thing, it's just

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:02.619
one instance. It's not like I'm like... all upset

00:26:02.619 --> 00:26:06.000
about it, but like he announces it, but a week

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:09.619
or two ago, week ago, and he's already signed

00:26:09.619 --> 00:26:13.380
with Washington or committed to Washington. So

00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:15.960
when did Washington tell him that he was going

00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:21.359
to be getting a better deal? So exactly for years,

00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:23.279
they're talking about this and that and tampering

00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:25.059
and phone calls. And, you know, Jim Calhoun gets

00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:27.259
in trouble for this or that. Now they're just

00:26:27.259 --> 00:26:29.819
doing whatever they want. Supreme Court don't

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:33.000
care. States don't care. Somebody's gotta put

00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.259
some sort of legislation here in place or very

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:38.680
strict rules. But then what happens when they

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:40.759
break them? Because they never used to break

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:44.920
the recruiting rules, right? Never, no. And Reggie

00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:47.880
Bush never got any money at USC, right? And nobody

00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:50.619
goes to a team luncheon in football and shakes

00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:52.660
hands with guys and walks out with four or five

00:26:52.660 --> 00:26:54.619
grand in their pocket, right? That never happened.

00:26:55.420 --> 00:26:58.859
That never happened. But like, I don't know,

00:26:58.900 --> 00:27:03.109
when's it end? It doesn't, it's not going good.

00:27:03.349 --> 00:27:06.069
I mean, it's like girl, it's the girls in basketball

00:27:06.069 --> 00:27:08.630
too. You know, they're staying because they know

00:27:08.630 --> 00:27:11.930
the money's there. Oh yeah. Better than the WNBA,

00:27:11.970 --> 00:27:14.329
cause season's too short and the money's just

00:27:14.329 --> 00:27:17.289
not there. Some of these guys are the same way.

00:27:18.009 --> 00:27:20.130
Like, if they're looking at the tea leaves, they're

00:27:20.130 --> 00:27:21.710
like, well, I'm not gonna make the NBA money.

00:27:21.829 --> 00:27:23.750
I have to play in Europe. And someone's offering

00:27:23.750 --> 00:27:26.990
me $2 million to play this year. Like they said,

00:27:27.150 --> 00:27:29.390
it's life -changing money. McNeely coming back.

00:27:30.329 --> 00:27:33.109
He's already I know I know is he coming back

00:27:33.109 --> 00:27:37.630
No, I mean they got him as a load low first rounder

00:27:37.630 --> 00:27:42.710
right now like 14. Oh that high okay? So I'm

00:27:42.710 --> 00:27:44.430
asking you like we don't have that kind of talent

00:27:44.430 --> 00:27:46.490
or size or whatever it is or the combination

00:27:46.490 --> 00:27:50.009
of both would you rather? Take another million

00:27:50.009 --> 00:27:53.529
and go play at Yukon or go try to like I'd fight

00:27:53.529 --> 00:27:56.490
my way to get that second NBA contract. You got

00:27:56.490 --> 00:27:58.730
a better chance to get it by coming back to UConn

00:27:58.730 --> 00:28:00.369
and lifting weights for a year? No, but that's

00:28:00.369 --> 00:28:01.829
the argument, though. They say if you can get

00:28:01.829 --> 00:28:04.230
out of your rookie deal sooner, the money's out

00:28:04.230 --> 00:28:07.069
there. So by risk and injury, staying maybe for

00:28:07.069 --> 00:28:09.650
a million or two in college versus getting out

00:28:09.650 --> 00:28:13.109
of that first agreement for the NBA, it's a big

00:28:13.109 --> 00:28:17.170
difference. For the NBA, guaranteed. First rounders

00:28:17.170 --> 00:28:20.519
are guaranteed, yeah. But it's that second step.

00:28:20.539 --> 00:28:23.259
Yeah, it's quicker. Yeah caravan coming quicker

00:28:23.259 --> 00:28:25.380
to the second one. Yeah caravan coming back.

00:28:26.539 --> 00:28:28.539
I Would say no, what does he ask the proof left?

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:30.819
You know, where's he going? I'll get drafted

00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:35.980
first round. I Don't know now, but he'll make

00:28:35.980 --> 00:28:38.000
a roster he's a 3d guy that you have to guard

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.400
him He's going to have to guard them. You had

00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:42.140
mentioned the death of the mid -majors and the

00:28:42.140 --> 00:28:43.859
tournament and lack of Cinderella's and things

00:28:43.859 --> 00:28:46.559
like I think that's personally I think that's

00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:48.900
a good thing. I hate Cinderella's. I don't want

00:28:48.900 --> 00:28:51.039
to see St. Peter's playing Kansas or playing

00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:52.680
Duke because you know they're going to lose eventually.

00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:55.880
I don't disagree with something like I don't

00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:57.759
like I like in the first like loyal Chicago.

00:28:57.900 --> 00:28:59.980
Yeah. The first couple of rounds like when it

00:28:59.980 --> 00:29:02.019
gets to if it gets to a final four like loyal

00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:03.839
to Chicago because it's going to happen eventually.

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.579
Just don't make me watch it then then lose by

00:29:06.579 --> 00:29:11.730
30. I don't like none of them, you know? Like

00:29:11.730 --> 00:29:14.369
you said, there's no really close games with

00:29:14.369 --> 00:29:17.269
any of these lower seed this year. I don't know.

00:29:17.430 --> 00:29:22.190
Don father. I'm disappointed in you. I'm disappointed

00:29:22.190 --> 00:29:26.309
in you. You don't like the Cinderella. Give me

00:29:26.309 --> 00:29:30.369
Duke forward over VCU and whoever, Auburn, whatever

00:29:30.369 --> 00:29:32.130
it is. Give me Duke forward. I don't like either

00:29:32.130 --> 00:29:35.509
team. That's the best basketball. Auburn Duke

00:29:35.509 --> 00:29:37.869
Duke Florida. I hate Duke. I don't want them

00:29:37.869 --> 00:29:42.029
to win. You sound spoiled You got to order up

00:29:42.029 --> 00:29:44.470
Duke UNC now the first you know, it's fifth time

00:29:44.470 --> 00:29:46.650
in the year I mean come on man. Not this year,

00:29:46.769 --> 00:29:50.329
but whatever. Is Cooper the real deal? Yes. Yep.

00:29:50.349 --> 00:29:52.509
He plays both sides in a ball too. He plays good

00:29:52.509 --> 00:29:57.029
D. I made a comment to a friend that he hated

00:29:57.029 --> 00:30:01.700
and I was kind of kidding, but I was like Is

00:30:01.700 --> 00:30:04.619
he the best white American born player since

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:10.420
Larry Bird? Does he have a chance to be? Does

00:30:10.420 --> 00:30:13.359
he have a chance to be? Hard to say. Knipple's

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:16.200
pretty good too. He's not even close to this

00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.359
guy though. I'm talking like, is he gonna end

00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:20.279
up being Tom Chambers or are you gonna end up

00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:22.619
being a rival to Larry Bird? And Tom Chambers

00:30:22.619 --> 00:30:25.519
is pretty damn good. Very good. Is he gonna be

00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:29.829
a Gugliata or is he gonna be a Bird? Let's throw

00:30:29.829 --> 00:30:30.950
something else out. There's gonna be Christian

00:30:30.950 --> 00:30:33.130
Leighton or is it gonna be Bird? You know what

00:30:33.130 --> 00:30:35.309
I'm saying, Odo? Those are like dime a dozen

00:30:35.309 --> 00:30:36.950
guys in the NBA. I mean, they're good players,

00:30:36.970 --> 00:30:41.250
but they're all good players. It's the NBA. Yeah,

00:30:41.329 --> 00:30:45.990
I don't think it's fair to compare them to the

00:30:45.990 --> 00:30:49.529
legend. Danny Ferri or Larry Bird? No. What number

00:30:49.529 --> 00:30:51.630
was Danny Ferri? The crazy part about Flag is

00:30:51.630 --> 00:30:53.730
he should be a senior in high school. That's

00:30:53.730 --> 00:30:55.809
amazing. Right. So that's the other point. Is

00:30:55.809 --> 00:30:58.660
that brother of his a twin? Yes. He's still in

00:30:58.660 --> 00:31:04.559
high school. Yeah, he reclassed up and Wow Now

00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:08.079
he there was some there's probably a fake Twitter,

00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:11.519
you know comment but like You guys I'm sure read

00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:13.940
that he was thinking about coming back. Yeah,

00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:17.640
he doesn't want to play for Washington So Danny's

00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.319
doing everything he can by taking his starters

00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:22.880
out second half in Utah. Oh We got a chance to

00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:25.309
win this one. Let's wrap that up One of the guys,

00:31:25.670 --> 00:31:27.549
Walker Kessler, just I'm not kidding, this is

00:31:27.549 --> 00:31:29.650
what I'm laughing about. The other day they took

00:31:29.650 --> 00:31:33.650
him out. He missed a couple games and they declared

00:31:33.650 --> 00:31:36.009
him ready to play. And then they pulled him like

00:31:36.009 --> 00:31:39.609
right before the game saying he needed a, the

00:31:39.609 --> 00:31:41.609
injury was listed as like cardio management.

00:31:41.849 --> 00:31:45.869
He wasn't a game chef. Yeah, it's basically what

00:31:45.869 --> 00:31:50.650
it was. It was basically Jacobi Ellsbury. Utah

00:31:50.650 --> 00:31:52.349
and Washington are tied for the win. That's what

00:31:52.349 --> 00:31:55.309
I'm saying. And they have a three game lead.

00:31:55.309 --> 00:31:58.029
I want to know who has the tiebreaker neck, because

00:31:58.029 --> 00:32:00.869
neither one of those teams. Washington guys actually

00:32:00.869 --> 00:32:02.789
try. They're just bad. Sounds like camouflage.

00:32:03.089 --> 00:32:05.589
But Utah is all in on getting the most ping pong

00:32:05.589 --> 00:32:08.130
balls. Technically Utah is behind them by percentage

00:32:08.130 --> 00:32:10.730
points. Yeah. So my question is, they have the

00:32:10.730 --> 00:32:13.150
same amount of wins. And they're going to finish

00:32:13.150 --> 00:32:15.519
with the same amount of wins. So who gets the

00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:17.519
tiebreaker? That's what I wanna know. That is

00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:19.259
a fantastic, yeah, what is the tiebreaker? Is

00:32:19.259 --> 00:32:21.059
it conference record? I don't know if it's head

00:32:21.059 --> 00:32:23.140
to head first or, I don't know, good question.

00:32:23.660 --> 00:32:26.359
Head to head, they're probably one on one. I'm

00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:28.460
still chuckling about cardio management. I wanna

00:32:28.460 --> 00:32:30.160
use that line the next time my wife asks me to

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:32.559
go for a walk. Cardio management. It was something

00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:34.400
like, yeah, it was like cardio. General fatigue.

00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:38.740
High ranking official. Yeah, we're in camouflage.

00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:42.420
General fatigue. Jesus. All right, don't answer.

00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:46.440

tonight. Without further ado, we will skip Mr.

00:33:16.869 --> 00:33:17.930
Ross, unless he makes it back here. No, he's

00:33:17.930 --> 00:33:21.529
here, he's here, executive producer. So I rank

00:33:21.529 --> 00:33:24.529

00:33:36.349 --> 00:33:39.480
it. Now who's the better coach? Now one more

00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:41.759

Something you don't see every day. Valvano upsets

00:35:54.940 --> 00:36:00.090
Kid Pocky, man. I don't know enough about Adolph

00:36:00.090 --> 00:36:02.389
Rupp other than the arenas named after him. I

00:36:02.389 --> 00:36:06.349
gotta go Petino. That's it. I'm gonna go Rupp.

00:36:07.389 --> 00:36:10.250
I'll go Petino too, but yeah. I had to slide

00:36:10.250 --> 00:36:13.349
one in there. I gotcha. Back to you. Yeah. Jimmy

00:36:13.349 --> 00:36:17.150
C, Dan Hurley. Oh, Jimmy Calhoun all day every

00:36:17.150 --> 00:36:24.150
day. Hooner. Calhoun. Wow. I go Hurley. Because

00:36:24.150 --> 00:36:27.159
he's Crybaby? Nah, I'd like to play four. He

00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:29.199
didn't take the Laker job. He didn't take the

00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:31.940
Laker job all of a sudden. Oh yeah, it's championship

00:36:31.940 --> 00:36:34.119
or bust at UConn. I guess you had a bust of a

00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:38.719
year then. Jesus. Expectation level is high.

00:36:39.139 --> 00:36:45.260
That's all I'm saying. I don't like that. I hate

00:36:45.260 --> 00:36:49.239
John Shire. All right. John Shire. Bob Knight,

00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:55.019
Mark Few. That's a tough one. Son or daughter

00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:58.280
now? Close, it is close. Is that a 5 '12"? It

00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:03.119
is a 5 '12", yeah. Okay. Bob Nick. I don't want

00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:05.260
my son or daughter anywhere near that maniac.

00:37:05.420 --> 00:37:08.380
I don't care what a good, you know, I don't care

00:37:08.380 --> 00:37:10.619
how genius he was for the motion offense. He's

00:37:10.619 --> 00:37:14.320
a torturous man. You could just say Mark Feud.

00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:16.900
Mark freaking Feud. No, cause you're a night

00:37:16.900 --> 00:37:20.219
guy. I mean, I love a lot of stuff he represented,

00:37:20.420 --> 00:37:24.800
but asshole. I mean, jerk. He was an asshole.

00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:27.840
Two to one. Here we go. You know what? I was

00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:29.420
in between it, but Bobby sold me. I'm going to

00:37:29.420 --> 00:37:33.260
go Bobby, too. Wow. There's another upset. I'm

00:37:33.260 --> 00:37:35.300
going nice. It was three, two. That was three,

00:37:35.860 --> 00:37:39.199
two. Night was a 12 seed. He was five. He was

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:41.179
five. All right. So we got to go back. A lead

00:37:41.179 --> 00:37:43.760
eight now. Let's go back to you. John Wooden,

00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:48.460
Tom Izzo to get to the final four. I'm going

00:37:48.460 --> 00:37:56.750
Izzo. Wooden. I'll go with Wooden. Wooden. I'll

00:37:56.750 --> 00:38:00.690
go Izzo. Chalk. Free two. Back to you, Don Father.

00:38:00.869 --> 00:38:02.710
Jay Wright, Dean Smith. Jay Wright. Final four.

00:38:02.769 --> 00:38:05.829
Jay Wright. Oh, that was easy. Dean Smith. Wright.

00:38:06.570 --> 00:38:10.110
Wright. Oh, wow. I'd go Dean Smith. Jay Wright

00:38:10.110 --> 00:38:13.909
in the final four. Nice suit. Double breasted.

00:38:14.449 --> 00:38:15.809
Don Father special. Remember, we're coaching

00:38:15.809 --> 00:38:20.530
our kids here. Valvano Pitino. Valviano. Rick.

00:38:21.730 --> 00:38:26.400
Valvano. Galvano. Oh my god, Patino. I'm going

00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:29.780
Patino, but Valvano advances. Holy cow. He only

00:38:29.780 --> 00:38:32.679
had one good tournament. He's a compiler. No.

00:38:33.139 --> 00:38:35.719
Patino is? No, I'm kidding. I'm talking about

00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.699
one good tournament. No. Jim Calhoun, Mark Few.

00:38:40.219 --> 00:38:45.320
Mark Few. Calhoun. Hooner. I'm few. I'm going

00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:48.300
Calhoun. Let's go, Jimmy. So he's in the final

00:38:48.300 --> 00:38:51.039
four. We're in the final four. Two -time Hall

00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:55.769
of Famer. John Wooden, J. Wright. What do you

00:38:55.769 --> 00:39:00.369
mean J. Wright? Wow. Who what? Focus. Come on.

00:39:00.690 --> 00:39:03.449
Who? J. Wright. Jesus Christ. John Wooden, J.

00:39:03.550 --> 00:39:04.630
Wright to the championship. J. Wright, Guard

00:39:04.630 --> 00:39:09.550
University. Wooden and J. Wright? We got Wooden

00:39:09.550 --> 00:39:12.230
and J. Wright. I'm going with Wooden. I'm going

00:39:12.230 --> 00:39:14.829
with J. Wright. I'm going John Wooden and J.

00:39:14.869 --> 00:39:17.590
Wright to the title. Oh, Don Father, no double

00:39:17.590 --> 00:39:20.030
person. Don Father, coming back to you. We got

00:39:20.030 --> 00:39:24.500
Calhoun and Valvano. Valvano. What? Valvano makes

00:39:24.500 --> 00:39:26.760
the change. I did not think he would make it.

00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:29.719
You own the Hooner? Yes. The Hooner? Jay Wright

00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.480
was my one seed, so. He chews gum way faster

00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:34.840
than anybody else in this field. Got it. One

00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:36.920
red seed. So you got to go back to the kids.

00:39:37.619 --> 00:39:39.820
What was it? It was Calhoun and... Calhoun and

00:39:39.820 --> 00:39:42.219
Valvano. Derek Wittenberg? Derek, come on. Valvano.

00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:43.900
You can't ride a bike, you can't coach. I'm going

00:39:43.900 --> 00:39:47.000
Calhoun. So we are in the title game. This is

00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:52.260
the Monday night 921 tip off for the... Coaching

00:39:52.260 --> 00:39:54.440
championship. Coaching championship of son or

00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:56.880
daughter. We got Jay Wright against Jim Calhoun

00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:58.559
to win it all. I thought Jay Wright got beat.

00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:01.179
I thought Jay Wright got beat. Jay Wright beat

00:40:01.179 --> 00:40:04.380
John Wooden. You guys. We were 2 -2. I thought

00:40:04.380 --> 00:40:09.559
you turned. Nah, it was 3 -2. 3 -2. Jay Wright

00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:12.940
won. Who'd you say? I said Wooden. They both

00:40:12.940 --> 00:40:15.320
said Wooden. I said Wooden. You said Jay Wright,

00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:18.239
dude. No, I said Jay Wright. Kroc said Jay Wright.

00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:19.920
No, I did. Guard University. He's right. Yeah,

00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:23.619
thanks. But you went there. I went with Warden.

00:40:23.739 --> 00:40:26.239
So it's 3 -2. So it's 3 -2. So we got Jay Wright

00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:28.639
and the Hooner in the championship game at 921

00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:31.079
Tip in the San Antonio Dome. I can't believe

00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:34.559
it. I'm giving it to Jay Wright. I can't believe

00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:38.719
my answer because he frustrated me. The Hooner.

00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:43.760
I like Calhoun. Jay Wright? Jay, it's up to you.

00:40:44.179 --> 00:40:47.920
Hooner or Jay Wright? I gotta go Calhoun. Let's

00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:52.860
go! The index cards to beat them. Let's go. Yeah,

00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:56.639
I'll admit it. I don't have kids. That's right.

00:40:57.099 --> 00:41:00.119
I want them to get abused. How great is it that

00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:03.559
we had two Big East coaches in the finals? I'm

00:41:03.559 --> 00:41:05.320
actually a little surprised at some of your answers,

00:41:05.579 --> 00:41:07.119
but I guess if it's son or daughter. It's about

00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:08.920
the son or daughter. That's what changed me.

00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:11.179
I'm surprised you didn't have Calipari in there.

00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:14.539
Billy Donovan. I thought about Donovan, but I

00:41:14.539 --> 00:41:17.920
didn't. I couldn't put Calipari in it because

00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:19.539
if any of you guys voted for him, I would have

00:41:19.539 --> 00:41:21.780
been sick. That's why I left him out. Donovan

00:41:21.780 --> 00:41:23.500
was a guy I had, I didn't know who to eliminate.

00:41:23.980 --> 00:41:26.239
He didn't spend enough years in college. Yeah,

00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:28.119
I couldn't put 32 either. Then I was struggling

00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:30.039
with 32. I'm shocked you put Bayheim in there.

00:41:30.099 --> 00:41:32.059
I honestly think we got away from the kid thing

00:41:32.059 --> 00:41:34.000
a little bit though. I think we got away from

00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:37.179
the kid thing. Yeah. Are we missing a Kentucky

00:41:37.179 --> 00:41:39.809
coach in there? Tubby? Nah, he doesn't make that.

00:41:40.010 --> 00:41:43.250
Does Nolan get a sniff? Maybe if we widen the

00:41:43.250 --> 00:41:45.590
field? Yeah, and I thought about Tarkany and

00:41:45.590 --> 00:41:47.449
some of those guys. A shark? I mean, your kids

00:41:47.449 --> 00:41:48.750
would be getting paid. They probably wouldn't

00:41:48.750 --> 00:41:51.269
graduate, but yeah. Raleigh Massimino? Yeah.

00:41:51.610 --> 00:41:56.789
Oh, Raleigh, yeah. Val Vano would beat him. Not

00:41:56.789 --> 00:42:00.000
compilers. Jay, that was awesome. I loved that,

00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:02.219
man. Speaking of the coaches thing, we were talking

00:42:02.219 --> 00:42:05.000
about a couple of these guys earlier. Which active

00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:09.900
coach has the most tournament wins? I'd go Izzo.

00:42:10.099 --> 00:42:11.400
I can tell you right now, it's a two -way tie.

00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:15.940
Self. Izzo is one of the two. Self is number

00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:18.239
three. Well, Patino has had so many tournament

00:42:18.239 --> 00:42:23.920
games. Patino is number four. Izzo 59, Self 57,

00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:29.369
Patino 55. One other active coach has 59. 59?

00:42:29.809 --> 00:42:35.030
59, tournament wins. What tournament? NCAA. By

00:42:35.030 --> 00:42:37.510
the way, Sheshesky has over 100, he's 40 over

00:42:37.510 --> 00:42:41.949
the next coach. Wow, that's crazy. 59? His always

00:42:41.949 --> 00:42:50.070
59, and one more active coach. Active, is he

00:42:50.070 --> 00:42:53.050
a head coach? No, he's a shooting coach, he's

00:42:53.050 --> 00:42:55.250
a head coach. I'm just thinking like Martelli

00:42:55.250 --> 00:43:01.989
type of somebody on somebody's bench, okay. You

00:43:01.989 --> 00:43:03.590
got to give us a hint. We can't be here all day.

00:43:03.769 --> 00:43:05.750
This is he was mentioned in Jay's bracket. He

00:43:05.750 --> 00:43:09.570
almost put him in, but he didn't. Billy Billy.

00:43:09.570 --> 00:43:12.789
Oh, Tarkinian. Calpari. Oh, Tarkinian's dead,

00:43:12.889 --> 00:43:18.510
right? Oh, so he's not active. Oh, they pop him

00:43:18.510 --> 00:43:22.010
up at UNLV. As the kids say, he's telling that.

00:43:24.510 --> 00:43:26.309
for at the active fire. I knew he'd be the one

00:43:26.309 --> 00:43:28.750
that would stump Calabar, because I didn't get

00:43:28.750 --> 00:43:30.730
him. Yeah, he's always advancing. He just never

00:43:30.730 --> 00:43:34.530
wins, really. Yeah. I mean, how many schools?

00:43:35.530 --> 00:43:38.710
UMass. Memphis. Memphis, Kentucky. Arkansas.

00:43:38.949 --> 00:43:42.329
No Razorbacks. I mean, they do win. They do win

00:43:42.329 --> 00:43:43.769
a couple of games every year, don't they? Yeah.

00:43:44.010 --> 00:43:47.070
That's a great question. By the way, I don't

00:43:47.070 --> 00:43:48.070
know if you guys - How many does Hurley got?

00:43:48.789 --> 00:43:51.010
How about the - I mean, he's got how many? Well,

00:43:51.010 --> 00:43:54.460
he's got 15 in a row. That's the tie for the

00:43:54.460 --> 00:43:57.639
most in a row. Has he got a winner at URI or

00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.719
two? I don't think... I think they lost in the

00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:03.199
first round when he was there. How about the

00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:06.019
guy from UCLA that called out his team all year,

00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:09.139
the little Irish... Mick Ronan? He's got a few

00:44:09.139 --> 00:44:11.659
wins? He's got a few, but they're not... Double

00:44:11.659 --> 00:44:15.820
digits? I don't know. How about Buzz Williams?

00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:21.199
You know who's up there was... Arizona. Miller.

00:44:21.980 --> 00:44:24.679
He's now. I mean, he was Arizona. He was Arizona.

00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:26.940
He said he was pretty much going to stay at Xavier

00:44:26.940 --> 00:44:28.880
for the rest of his life. And then Texas offered

00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:31.440
him a crap load of money. And now he's at Texas.

00:44:32.139 --> 00:44:34.960
He took the Texas job. He's a new Texas coach.

00:44:35.579 --> 00:44:38.599
Yeah. I'm back at Xavier for the rest of my life.

00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:40.599
Except the Texas offers him a lot of money. He

00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:42.400
had mid -30s trying to know where I think for

00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:43.860
tournament wins. Really? He's been around for

00:44:43.860 --> 00:44:47.139
a while. Yeah, he's been paying guys to throw

00:44:47.139 --> 00:44:51.190
the pass to who? Jerome Lane. Get it, Jerome.

00:44:52.210 --> 00:44:54.849
Send it in, Jerome. Oh, yeah, send it in, Jerome.

00:44:54.969 --> 00:44:58.309
Who said it? Bill Rafter. Yeah, he did. Raft

00:44:58.309 --> 00:45:00.590
making a comeback. Yeah, this year, right? Yeah,

00:45:00.650 --> 00:45:04.489
he doesn't. He sounds more sober. Onions. Onions.

00:45:05.130 --> 00:45:09.309
Man to man. All right, man, who wins this final

00:45:09.309 --> 00:45:15.500
four? Duke. Duke. The last team won. I do not

00:45:15.500 --> 00:45:18.900
like John Shire, but they are so talented. Like,

00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:21.820
they're huge, dude. They're huge. Like, their

00:45:21.820 --> 00:45:24.340
guards are huge. It just seems to me that that

00:45:24.340 --> 00:45:25.739
guard from Auburn. Kenip Kanop there, whatever.

00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:28.420
Remember that game? He's good. And the guards

00:45:28.420 --> 00:45:32.059
from Florida are gonna make shots in, like, who

00:45:32.059 --> 00:45:35.469
knows. Shooting over six six seven guards and

00:45:35.469 --> 00:45:37.929
seven foot two guys as we found out the last

00:45:37.929 --> 00:45:46.369
couple years becomes a problem. Yeah Anyway I

00:45:46.369 --> 00:45:47.949
was gonna talk about high school hoops, but this

00:45:47.949 --> 00:45:52.190
was so much fun. I'll just leave it at this the

00:45:52.190 --> 00:45:55.010
school a state the size of Connecticut can have

00:45:55.010 --> 00:45:58.809
ten state champions us We got to go back to four

00:45:58.809 --> 00:46:03.519
If anyone would care to listen I got the formula

00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:06.420
you got to take because now they can figure out

00:46:06.420 --> 00:46:11.119
who the best 16 teams are so take the best 16

00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:16.619
teams or make it you know some other number that's

00:46:16.619 --> 00:46:21.280
not 32 like 20 kinetic is top 20 have a play

00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:23.860
in because if you look at the at the seating

00:46:23.860 --> 00:46:26.920
and on the cac site i gotta ask a question everyone

00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:29.139
has a buy in the first round of the division

00:46:29.139 --> 00:46:32.730
one tournament yeah it says 16 buys, it just

00:46:32.730 --> 00:46:35.130
looks stupid. Yeah, and bad teams get in that.

00:46:35.289 --> 00:46:38.469
So my question to you is, right off the shoot

00:46:38.469 --> 00:46:41.030
here is? End of the season. End of the season,

00:46:41.170 --> 00:46:42.969
that's when you rank them? Yeah. Okay. It can

00:46:42.969 --> 00:46:45.750
be done easily. So, I mean, will that turn into...

00:46:45.750 --> 00:46:48.309
On the news. Yeah, but will that turn into NBA

00:46:48.309 --> 00:46:50.710
stuff? Like, hey... You know, we got to go play

00:46:50.710 --> 00:46:52.989
Notre Dame at West Haven. Do we want to be 16

00:46:52.989 --> 00:46:54.849
seed or do we want to play a Division II tournament?

00:46:54.869 --> 00:46:57.769
If you can be one of the top 20 teams, I think

00:46:57.769 --> 00:46:59.989
that your school should get a banner from the

00:46:59.989 --> 00:47:01.889
state that says you made Connecticut's top 20

00:47:01.889 --> 00:47:03.590
that year. I'm not kidding. It's an accomplishment.

00:47:04.150 --> 00:47:06.130
I'm not saying that, but you want to hang that

00:47:06.130 --> 00:47:08.710
thing? If you made the top 20, what if you're

00:47:08.710 --> 00:47:11.750
a Class S school and you had a chance to win

00:47:11.750 --> 00:47:13.809
at Notre Dame at West Haven as borderline Class

00:47:13.809 --> 00:47:16.429
S school? You know what I mean, a true small

00:47:16.429 --> 00:47:18.070
town school. Sacred Heart was a class S school,

00:47:18.070 --> 00:47:19.130
they played in a class S town. You know what

00:47:19.130 --> 00:47:21.730
I mean. If you took the towns they drew from

00:47:21.730 --> 00:47:23.710
and had some sort of formula that way, they're

00:47:23.710 --> 00:47:27.630
not close to a class S school. I know what you're

00:47:27.630 --> 00:47:30.369
saying in terms of population. Okay, let's say

00:47:30.369 --> 00:47:35.070
Chabot comes in 20th this year. Tough go of it,

00:47:35.070 --> 00:47:36.929
they're not gonna get there. And by the way,

00:47:36.929 --> 00:47:38.570
if there was four divisions, they might not win

00:47:38.570 --> 00:47:41.070
it anyway, because Ellington had beat their butts.

00:47:41.510 --> 00:47:48.090
I'm not disagreeing, but... They get that class

00:47:48.090 --> 00:47:53.489
once every 20 years. Totally agree, but if it's

00:47:53.489 --> 00:47:56.030
the four class system like we've always had before

00:47:56.030 --> 00:48:00.920
this nonsense, that's no cakewalk anymore. That's

00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:04.019
no cakewalk anymore. Dan Gazinski's Canton team

00:48:04.019 --> 00:48:06.659
would give them a run for their money and that

00:48:06.659 --> 00:48:09.780
Ellington team was talented. Long, I mean, geez,

00:48:09.860 --> 00:48:11.639
they were fun. They got the, what do you, Curtis'

00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:16.780
younger kid? They're tough, man. So, look, 20

00:48:16.780 --> 00:48:20.340
teams. Take the rest and list them by enrollment

00:48:20.340 --> 00:48:23.139
because you're not gonna, you're not gonna have

00:48:23.139 --> 00:48:25.860
like these Catholic schools left anymore, right?

00:48:26.139 --> 00:48:29.340
Most of them will be good. or an immaculate or

00:48:29.340 --> 00:48:31.639
somebody else that's St. Paul, you know, they

00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:34.280
don't try to get players. I know this for fact.

00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:37.260
No, they don't go out and try to get players.

00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:40.280
I agree with you. But that's noble, if you ask

00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:43.159
me. But like only a few Catholic schools will

00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:46.139
be left. Only a few magnet schools will be left.

00:48:47.059 --> 00:48:50.699
Now you take the enrollment and take the qualifiers

00:48:50.699 --> 00:48:53.219
and list them by enrollment like this in a list

00:48:53.219 --> 00:48:57.039
and divide the list by three. You have the tournament

00:48:57.039 --> 00:48:59.920
of champions, whatever you want to call it, division,

00:49:00.219 --> 00:49:04.219
whatever. Then you have L stands for large M

00:49:04.219 --> 00:49:10.219
and S and you like it's instead of going by the

00:49:10.219 --> 00:49:13.119
preseason enrollment, you're taking the qualifiers

00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:17.380
left and you won't have many buys because it'll

00:49:17.380 --> 00:49:20.599
be about 30 teams in each. and you do it that

00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:24.239
way. Boys and girls, instead of having two separate.

00:49:24.360 --> 00:49:25.719
So you have to win a certain amount of games

00:49:25.719 --> 00:49:30.659
to get in? You gotta go back to 40%. 40 % qualifier.

00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:32.639
I mean, Jay, when we first went to high school

00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:35.960
it was 50%. Correct. Now they got it down to

00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:37.639
six wins and you're in. There'll be a couple

00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:40.940
years where teams aren't, like not, I mean there'll

00:49:40.940 --> 00:49:44.739
be like 12 teams or 16 teams in one of the divisions,

00:49:44.860 --> 00:49:47.159
don't you think? No, if you look at the last

00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:51.429
10 years of, Just qualifying teams. You're gonna

00:49:51.429 --> 00:50:01.230
have somewhere around 110 -ish. Take 20 out of

00:50:01.230 --> 00:50:04.329
there, divide the rest by three. That's an idea.

00:50:04.469 --> 00:50:06.550
You don't got me sold yet, though. Do you have

00:50:06.550 --> 00:50:09.230
a better one? Because this system sucks. No,

00:50:09.230 --> 00:50:11.289
I mean, I... And I'm not saying the final sucks

00:50:11.289 --> 00:50:12.849
and the teams that win it didn't deserve a state

00:50:12.849 --> 00:50:15.150
championship. I coach one team that actually

00:50:15.150 --> 00:50:17.030
won one of those, right, with five divisions,

00:50:17.070 --> 00:50:21.139
right? Maybe two with five divisions, but here's

00:50:21.139 --> 00:50:24.480
the thing It's just like dance a tournament now.

00:50:24.579 --> 00:50:27.860
There's kind of crappy games and and up and down

00:50:27.860 --> 00:50:30.019
the tournament They're always worth there, but

00:50:30.019 --> 00:50:32.639
like I was a well, how about 16 first round buys?

00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:34.900
What the heck is that you play one less game?

00:50:35.420 --> 00:50:38.340
Yeah, I don't stupid. I don't I it's even stupid

00:50:38.340 --> 00:50:41.480
I went there's just 16 teams in it and zero on

00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:44.940
20 teams going to play The ones you just, it's

00:50:44.940 --> 00:50:47.860
stupid. So make it 20, and you have eight teams

00:50:47.860 --> 00:50:51.500
gotta play into the 16. Like the NBA playoffs,

00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:55.420
and like the first four and whatever. And you

00:50:55.420 --> 00:50:57.699
have to earn that buy, and there's only eight

00:50:57.699 --> 00:51:03.219
of you. That's an idea, you have to. It's an

00:51:03.219 --> 00:51:05.579
idea? Yeah, you want me to just say, oh, here

00:51:05.579 --> 00:51:08.059
we go, that's it, yeah. It's a good idea, we

00:51:08.059 --> 00:51:10.500
gotta give it some traction and give it a year

00:51:10.500 --> 00:51:13.079
or two. And put it in, give it a year or two,

00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:15.239
and then see how it is. I don't like screwing

00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:19.119
the class S teams, dude. I think that's a problem.

00:51:19.300 --> 00:51:21.219
Well, you got to keep that. You got to keep it

00:51:21.219 --> 00:51:24.139
in mind. So you'll say, you know, would teams

00:51:24.139 --> 00:51:26.599
say that Chapao should be in that top 20? In

00:51:26.599 --> 00:51:30.599
all honesty, they shouldn't. No, they shouldn't

00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:33.099
be. They're very talented. I mean, they got three

00:51:33.099 --> 00:51:34.800
really good athletes and some other kids really

00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.039
good coaches. Great. But like, it doesn't mean

00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:42.829
they're as good as, you know. who would be a

00:51:42.829 --> 00:51:46.449
late teens type of team, like some sort of city

00:51:46.449 --> 00:51:49.090
team or a big school. But now, Sullington, they

00:51:49.090 --> 00:51:50.590
shouldn't be in there with them. Sullington should

00:51:50.590 --> 00:51:52.469
be in there. And the Sullington coach is nuts

00:51:52.469 --> 00:51:56.210
enough to freaking volunteer to do it. He did.

00:51:56.889 --> 00:51:59.409
One year. He's my guy. I know. Who wouldn't love

00:51:59.409 --> 00:52:01.349
him? Aren't you gonna get a job at the CIAC?

00:52:01.469 --> 00:52:02.969
I thought there was something. I tried, dude.

00:52:03.670 --> 00:52:07.769
I tried so hard. They didn't even, no one even

00:52:07.769 --> 00:52:10.619
said a word to me about it. Gotta be an AD. Old

00:52:10.619 --> 00:52:12.840
lady. No, I wanna sit over there in Cheshire

00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:14.099
and straighten these tournaments out. I'm gonna

00:52:14.099 --> 00:52:17.340
be a baseball umpire. All right, I'm gonna be

00:52:17.340 --> 00:52:19.440
a baseball umpire, guys. That's my new venture.

00:52:20.500 --> 00:52:24.280
I love it. Here's the thing. It's gonna be something

00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:27.579
to do, be involved in baseball, maybe get paid

00:52:27.579 --> 00:52:30.280
a couple bucks, right? But I'm gonna be old school.

00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:32.769
I'm going with the neighborhood play. Don't you

00:52:32.769 --> 00:52:34.650
don't need to tag the guy the ball beats you

00:52:34.650 --> 00:52:36.750
and you made his dumb base or anything. You're

00:52:36.750 --> 00:52:38.170
out I don't care what your coach runs out there

00:52:38.170 --> 00:52:39.949
and tells me with your fancy slide. You're freaking

00:52:39.949 --> 00:52:45.269
out You guys disagree with that? Oh Well, I can't

00:52:45.269 --> 00:52:48.250
do I'd like that but they won't let me enforce

00:52:48.250 --> 00:52:51.230
that but if the ball beats you I don't care whether

00:52:51.230 --> 00:52:52.630
that guy touch you or not I don't want to hear

00:52:52.630 --> 00:52:57.210
you yapping about it. Okay double plays I don't

00:52:57.210 --> 00:52:59.190
care if you're standing on the base when you

00:52:59.190 --> 00:53:01.289
catch the ball. It's kind of a neighborhood.

00:53:02.349 --> 00:53:05.010
But the first out in a double play is a no -brainer

00:53:05.010 --> 00:53:06.889
anyway, so why do we have to step on it like

00:53:06.889 --> 00:53:08.250
it's Little League or go to New York to make

00:53:08.250 --> 00:53:10.130
sure the guy was actually stepping on it? I'm

00:53:10.130 --> 00:53:11.929
a neighborhood guy. You guys disagree with that?

00:53:12.510 --> 00:53:17.610
No. Okay. As long as it's not ridiculous where

00:53:17.610 --> 00:53:20.710
the guy's running across the base, then he catches

00:53:20.710 --> 00:53:22.389
it like three steps past the base and throws

00:53:22.389 --> 00:53:24.289
it. Like a beast. foot is just barely off the

00:53:24.289 --> 00:53:25.929
base. Depends on who the coach is. I'm just curious.

00:53:25.949 --> 00:53:28.630
Nah, you can't do that. I'm kidding. I'll tell

00:53:28.630 --> 00:53:31.750
you what I hate is I hate the NBA and even the

00:53:31.750 --> 00:53:34.650
NCAA does it not to when the ball goes off a

00:53:34.650 --> 00:53:36.530
guy and they're, they're looking while it just

00:53:36.530 --> 00:53:38.769
touched his fingertip. Like if a guy's controlling

00:53:38.769 --> 00:53:40.909
a rebound and somebody comes in and like blasts,

00:53:40.909 --> 00:53:42.710
you know, like he's going to control and it's

00:53:42.710 --> 00:53:45.250
like they go to the super slow moment. It's kind

00:53:45.250 --> 00:53:46.989
of just on his, like he wouldn't have dropped

00:53:46.989 --> 00:53:49.250
the ball if the guy didn't, you know. I hate

00:53:49.250 --> 00:53:51.510
that. To me, it's true. Many reviews to the last

00:53:51.510 --> 00:53:53.150
two minutes of the game. Oh, some of them are

00:53:53.150 --> 00:53:54.550
brutal. I was watching a Southern game today.

00:53:54.610 --> 00:54:03.170
Oh, my God. Oh, my Lord. Well, so that's what

00:54:03.170 --> 00:54:06.949
I'm going to do. Baseball. So starts a struggle

00:54:06.949 --> 00:54:10.659
tonight. Angry Jay is angry about the Yanks.

00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:13.699
I want to hear his tirade about this first. Sox,

00:54:13.780 --> 00:54:15.699
I do want some Sox talk. I think there's exciting

00:54:15.699 --> 00:54:18.619
things happening in the Sox land. Will Dever

00:54:18.619 --> 00:54:19.880
straighten it out? I mean, you've kind of seen

00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:22.440
this before, like it'll be fine. It's going to

00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:25.219
hit today. The Dodgers go 1, 6, 2 and 0. And

00:54:25.219 --> 00:54:27.260
then we're going to bring up the torpedo bat

00:54:27.260 --> 00:54:29.920
thing, which is a thing. But I'd love to hear

00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:33.480
Angry Jay just, you know, wax poetic about the

00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:35.360
Yanks. He told me they were going to win 85 games.

00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:39.800
I mean, I said 85 to 88. He said 85 and 88, so

00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:43.420
we're going to have a play -in game. We got an

00:54:43.420 --> 00:54:46.159
educator over here, can't read. 85 to 88, I said.

00:54:46.300 --> 00:54:48.820
It was 85 and a dash and 88, which means record

00:54:48.820 --> 00:54:51.260
to me. If it was a range, you would have said

00:54:51.260 --> 00:54:55.579
85 to 88. I'm not a math -wit, so 85 to 88 is

00:54:55.579 --> 00:54:59.699
over 162, isn't it? We're in the playoffs. I

00:54:59.699 --> 00:55:02.219
want to know what you think about the Yanks.

00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:08.760
I think they're... Typically Yankee team they're

00:55:08.760 --> 00:55:11.619
gonna beat bad teams They'll hammer mediocre

00:55:11.619 --> 00:55:14.159
pitching and then when they have to play a good

00:55:14.159 --> 00:55:18.219
team they are Gonna struggle because they still

00:55:18.219 --> 00:55:20.980
can't field Apparently the first the pitchers

00:55:20.980 --> 00:55:23.019
still can't cover I would love to know what we

00:55:23.019 --> 00:55:24.639
do in spring training other than watch guys hit

00:55:24.639 --> 00:55:29.039
balls 600 feet with our no torpedo bets and we

00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:32.039
don't our pitcher doesn't cover first base and

00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:34.480
in most games anymore, which You think after

00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:39.760
last year, it might be a problem. I also think

00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:43.000
that we're we're just not anywhere as tough as

00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:46.559
the other team. So we'll win our 85 to 88 games.

00:55:46.980 --> 00:55:49.340
Maybe we'll get hot and win 90, you know, what

00:55:49.340 --> 00:55:51.860
we'll make. We'll struggle in a lot. If we play

00:55:51.860 --> 00:55:54.440
and we play a central team, we'll win the play.

00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:56.639
We'll beat the Indians or, excuse me, the Guardians

00:55:56.639 --> 00:55:59.000
or the Twins, which we always do. And then we'll

00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:01.119
play a good team and we'll get embarrassed. I'm

00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:04.929
a Red Sox fan and I'm watching the ESPN and Mendoza

00:56:04.929 --> 00:56:07.250
and all these people. Why are all these people

00:56:07.250 --> 00:56:09.389
picking the Red Sox to win AO East? I'm like,

00:56:09.590 --> 00:56:12.269
I'm a Sox fan. Why would anybody pick them to

00:56:12.269 --> 00:56:16.170
win AO East? Because they got Bregman? Or because

00:56:16.170 --> 00:56:18.849
they got Walker Buehler with his seven ERA? Like,

00:56:18.849 --> 00:56:20.409
I don't understand why people are picking the

00:56:20.409 --> 00:56:22.730
Red Sox. And I'm a Sox fan. Why would they beat

00:56:22.730 --> 00:56:27.110
the Yankees in a 162 game season? You tell me.

00:56:27.710 --> 00:56:30.250
I don't think they would. I don't think the Yankees

00:56:30.250 --> 00:56:33.960
are very good. They're tougher, the Red Sox are

00:56:33.960 --> 00:56:36.239
tougher. I believe Devers will get a hit this

00:56:36.239 --> 00:56:40.679
month. He's hot, he's just warming up. Gang fight

00:56:40.679 --> 00:56:44.679
or something? So when we play good teams, we

00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:49.119
can't beat them, but we advanced to the World

00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:51.239
Series last year, so do we play all bad teams

00:56:51.239 --> 00:56:54.320
till we play the Dodgers? Yeah, basically. Wow,

00:56:54.340 --> 00:56:57.199
so there's only one good team in baseball? Who

00:56:57.199 --> 00:57:01.820
do we beat in the... Last whoever they put in

00:57:01.820 --> 00:57:03.739
front of us to get to the ship. Like I said,

00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:05.800
we'd be America League Central teams and we have

00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:10.519
since 1996 Okay, we hey if we could get an American

00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:11.860
League Central team in the World Series I'll

00:57:11.860 --> 00:57:15.219
pick us to win the World Series Gonna be a problem.

00:57:15.219 --> 00:57:19.420
I'm dead. I Mean the rules we just got out of

00:57:19.420 --> 00:57:23.300
you know, we should be good every player From

00:57:23.300 --> 00:57:27.300
Japan get has to play for the Dodgers every superstar

00:57:27.550 --> 00:57:29.389
leaves their team and goes and plays for the

00:57:29.389 --> 00:57:33.510
Dodgers. That's not a test. That's ridiculous.

00:57:33.889 --> 00:57:36.590
Like there, there needs to be a hard cap on that

00:57:36.590 --> 00:57:39.489
kind of stuff. And you could pay the guy $9 billion

00:57:39.489 --> 00:57:42.929
and just defer it for the next century. What

00:57:42.929 --> 00:57:46.329
is that? Did you see the, did you see the record

00:57:46.329 --> 00:57:48.050
of the teams in the AL Central? I think Yanks

00:57:48.050 --> 00:57:51.650
are going to win it. Good. Every team in the

00:57:51.650 --> 00:57:54.260
AL Central is two and four. Yeah well, Yanks

00:57:54.260 --> 00:57:57.260
will get them. Don Father, they play 162, who

00:57:57.260 --> 00:58:00.380
cares? They're two and four, every team. First

00:58:00.380 --> 00:58:03.059
place is two and four. They've only played a

00:58:03.059 --> 00:58:06.239
week. They're so bad. Can you wait? They're so

00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:08.780
bad. That division's struggling at the moment.

00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:13.159
Not this year, but just in general. But anyway,

00:58:13.260 --> 00:58:14.860
I think the Yanks are gonna win it and I think

00:58:14.860 --> 00:58:17.000
the Torpedo Bat's gonna help them win it. What

00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:20.280
do you guys think about the Torpedo Bat? I did

00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.199
not know this, but. The Torpedo Bat has been

00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:23.860
around for a couple years now. Did you know that?

00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:26.260
I didn't know. I just recently heard that, yeah.

00:58:26.420 --> 00:58:28.139
Yeah, I didn't. The Yankees were using it last

00:58:28.139 --> 00:58:30.820
year. More importantly is why is a guy from MIT

00:58:30.820 --> 00:58:32.400
helping the Yankees out? Wouldn't he be helping

00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:36.139
the Sox out? Just went there. Money, money. That's

00:58:36.139 --> 00:58:39.820
a great call. Goodwill haunting. That's it. That

00:58:39.820 --> 00:58:42.380
was our fearless general manager. That was MIT.

00:58:42.879 --> 00:58:46.179
We're paying, we're paying, we're paying, we're

00:58:46.179 --> 00:58:48.800
paying math nerds. We're paying math nerds to

00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:50.320
make a batch for us instead of getting a relief

00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:52.400
picture and get somebody out. Hey, you know what

00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:55.380
though? It's, I can't say on the Yankees, but

00:58:55.380 --> 00:58:56.960
it's in the confines of the rules. They didn't

00:58:56.960 --> 00:59:00.460
do anything illegal. So it was a tush push. I

00:59:00.460 --> 00:59:02.460
mean, the question though is like, if you don't

00:59:02.460 --> 00:59:04.929
hit it on that sweet spot. Are you going to flare

00:59:04.929 --> 00:59:07.789
the ball out foul all day long? You know? Well,

00:59:07.909 --> 00:59:09.710
no, not like some guys. Not against the Brewers.

00:59:10.630 --> 00:59:13.349
No, well, this is they're betting on themselves

00:59:13.349 --> 00:59:15.170
to hit it on the sweet spot, which is amazing

00:59:15.170 --> 00:59:19.130
to me because they're going to sacrifice the

00:59:19.130 --> 00:59:22.739
end of the bat. you know, dinker for hitting

00:59:22.739 --> 00:59:25.079
it four hundred and twenty feet. I guess I guess

00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:28.139
so. And, you know, Yanks had nine home runs,

00:59:28.300 --> 00:59:31.019
one game. We're on our way to. Didn't they say

00:59:31.019 --> 00:59:33.239
some high 90s last year got hurt using that bat

00:59:33.239 --> 00:59:37.559
shoulders or something like that? It wasn't torpedo

00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:40.730
bat, was it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He doesn't wanna

00:59:40.730 --> 00:59:41.829
talk about it. Oh, they're all gonna be hurt

00:59:41.829 --> 00:59:43.710
now. Bad adjustments, that's what they said.

00:59:44.130 --> 00:59:46.510
Bad adjustments. Oh, that'll get your shoulders

00:59:46.510 --> 00:59:48.590
every time, or your elbows every time. Typical

00:59:48.590 --> 00:59:50.710
Yankee fashion. Whatever. Are you kidding me?

00:59:50.849 --> 00:59:52.590
They went into it until spring trading did not

00:59:52.590 --> 00:59:55.190
sit. No one's ever had that problem in the history

00:59:55.190 --> 00:59:56.690
of baseball, and it happened to both of his,

00:59:56.690 --> 00:59:59.150
is it his elbows or his shoulders? Elbows. Probably

00:59:59.150 --> 01:00:00.929
has nothing to do with some of the stuff he takes

01:00:00.929 --> 01:00:04.510
on the off -season. What do you mean? I mean

01:00:04.510 --> 01:00:08.219
that... I mean, he must be taking some crazy

01:00:08.219 --> 01:00:12.400
stuff. Vitamin supplements. Like Big Papi. Vitamin

01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:14.639
supplements. I got a crazy Major League Baseball

01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:16.360
Tournament question that I don't even think you

01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:18.519
will get. Oh, I like it. So it's a challenging

01:00:18.519 --> 01:00:21.380
question. And I wouldn't get it. You're gonna

01:00:21.380 --> 01:00:24.420
need a hint. Two Major League Baseball players

01:00:24.420 --> 01:00:27.219
who hit a home run in the same game, they won

01:00:27.219 --> 01:00:30.159
their 200th start or 200th win as a pitcher.

01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:34.619
CC. No, but one's new, one's old. Like one...

01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:37.219
You know, I'd say recently. Jim Lomborg. I never

01:00:37.219 --> 01:00:39.880
even heard of that person. Bum Gardener. Mad

01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:44.980
bum. He didn't want to tell you. A's. A's Braves.

01:00:45.219 --> 01:00:51.260
White or blue. Tim Hudson. Tim, how do you want

01:00:51.260 --> 01:00:54.840
him? The other one was old. Number? 150. I was

01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:55.900
going to say, I don't know what number this guy

01:00:55.900 --> 01:01:00.420
was, but. Old guy, like 30s to 40s, I think.

01:01:01.320 --> 01:01:03.579
What? Bob Lemon. You're not going to get Bob

01:01:03.579 --> 01:01:05.940
Lemon. You could, yeah. You would never got it,

01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:07.480
would you? With a hint. Would you really? Wow,

01:01:07.500 --> 01:01:10.760
that's a. Yankee manager. Yeah. To go for Billy

01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:13.019
Martin in 78. I was gonna say he was 60s, right?

01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:15.840
He played in the 60s. Yeah. I said 70s. I would

01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:17.599
not have gotten that without a big hint though.

01:01:18.340 --> 01:01:20.860
Hardee's was good. I got one. That's not as difficult.

01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:24.840
Well. It might be because you can't answer it.

01:01:24.900 --> 01:01:27.079
I did not get the fifth guy and I wasn't, I would

01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:29.679
have never got him. There's five guys in major

01:01:29.679 --> 01:01:32.800
league history to walk 150 times in a season.

01:01:33.869 --> 01:01:37.389
Bonds Bonds is correct. He did it four times

01:01:37.389 --> 01:01:43.869
He's won 150 150 walks in a single season Maguire

01:01:43.869 --> 01:01:47.590
Maguire's to Pete Rose. Pete Rose is not correct

01:01:47.590 --> 01:01:54.369
Rod Carew Either is Rod Carew so so so no He

01:01:54.369 --> 01:01:56.110
was in like the 130s one year though we only

01:01:56.110 --> 01:02:01.050
get two so far yeah, we got Mr. Maguire and mr.

01:02:01.250 --> 01:02:04.400
Bonds I will tell you this, all three other guys

01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:10.059
are... Old? Older. Older. Yeah, old. Really old.

01:02:10.360 --> 01:02:14.199
Babe? Babe is correct. That's old. He's three.

01:02:14.739 --> 01:02:18.239
Nappla Joy. No. Should get the other guy. Nick

01:02:18.239 --> 01:02:23.360
Fuller. Hank Aaron. No. Nick Fuller. Nick Fuller

01:02:23.360 --> 01:02:27.199
is not correct. He has no career hits. Josh Gibson.

01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:32.599
No. See cat are you counting those? Yeah, your

01:02:32.599 --> 01:02:35.980
dad was a big fan of Gary Teddy Teddy bomb pop

01:02:35.980 --> 01:02:39.039
Teddy Williams Yeah, yeah, you could have them

01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:41.380
on a stick now. They froze them up. Are you good?

01:02:41.519 --> 01:02:43.719
Yeah, he's four I'll give you guys a thousand

01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:45.320
dollars if you can pick off the fifth guy without

01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:59.460
looking 1956 Dead silence. It's over. You're

01:02:59.460 --> 01:03:02.719
not gonna get it. Eddie Yost. I was just about

01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:06.119
to say that. I actually shocked I looked up the

01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:07.800
stats after I saw that. Can you name a player

01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:11.659
that hit a home run in his first high A ball

01:03:11.659 --> 01:03:15.739
at bat, double A at bat, triple A at bat, and

01:03:15.739 --> 01:03:18.739
in the big leagues? Mike Trout. First at bat.

01:03:19.019 --> 01:03:21.329
Nope. Somebody just did it. Who was the guy?

01:03:21.949 --> 01:03:23.969
I just saw that too. This guy's got the funniest

01:03:23.969 --> 01:03:27.269
stuff on like TikTok and all this reacting to

01:03:27.269 --> 01:03:31.309
like current nonsense in baseball. I don't know.

01:03:31.570 --> 01:03:36.269
Will, the thrill clerk. Oh, the natural. You

01:03:36.269 --> 01:03:37.889
ever see the one where he slides in to break

01:03:37.889 --> 01:03:40.210
up two and Jose Okendo? Yeah, he fought the whole

01:03:40.210 --> 01:03:43.809
team. And Ozzy's throwing like some cheap shots

01:03:43.809 --> 01:03:46.409
at him while he was engaged with Okendo. Candy

01:03:46.409 --> 01:03:49.170
Maldonado comes into that pile. You're right

01:03:49.170 --> 01:03:55.250
number 22 21 it comes in 700. Yes. Yeah He was

01:03:55.250 --> 01:03:59.409
a key was guy with the ground ball All right

01:03:59.409 --> 01:04:01.690
You have who'd you rather sure was it that we

01:04:01.690 --> 01:04:04.670
know that I got coaches. Yeah, so Don father

01:04:04.670 --> 01:04:06.449
come I got a quick one since you talked about

01:04:06.449 --> 01:04:09.309
world Clark hitting a homerun Who did the homerun

01:04:09.309 --> 01:04:12.769
off in the major leagues? First first that bat

01:04:12.769 --> 01:04:17.889
brand name brand name Trevor Hoffman Nolan Nolan

01:04:17.889 --> 01:04:21.090
Ryan, straight away Sunfield. Nolan took it out

01:04:21.090 --> 01:04:22.630
on Ventura's head after that, I don't know if

01:04:22.630 --> 01:04:24.630
you remember that. You guys watched the Netflix

01:04:24.630 --> 01:04:27.289
thing on Nolan Ryan? Yes. I started it and then

01:04:27.289 --> 01:04:29.090
it wasn't a good family watch and I had to take

01:04:29.090 --> 01:04:33.409
it off. Jay, I know you're a history buff. HBO

01:04:33.409 --> 01:04:37.889
series John Adams, you gotta watch that. Yeah.

01:04:38.210 --> 01:04:40.429
You gotta watch it. I mean it starts off with

01:04:40.429 --> 01:04:43.030
like his depiction of the Boston massacre, like

01:04:43.030 --> 01:04:45.989
unbelievable. Really? He thought it was a fire.

01:04:46.510 --> 01:04:50.610
He heard the words fire. So he bought this Ben

01:04:50.610 --> 01:04:55.829
Franklin ass fire truck on this wagon, dumped

01:04:55.829 --> 01:04:58.269
it, unbelievable. And he gets out there and the

01:04:58.269 --> 01:05:01.449
guys are laying in the street, crazy. And did

01:05:01.449 --> 01:05:05.070
you know he actually defended the British officers

01:05:05.070 --> 01:05:10.259
that shot the five guys in court and won? and

01:05:10.259 --> 01:05:12.880
the likes of his cousin were pissed at him. Samuel

01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:14.500
Adams, some of the guys were pissed at him. Well,

01:05:14.539 --> 01:05:16.420
there's no reason to watch the show now. No,

01:05:16.539 --> 01:05:19.199
that's the first 20 minutes. It's like, how many

01:05:19.199 --> 01:05:22.480
parts? Six? Yeah, at least. Samuel Adams is getting

01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:24.079
represented right here tonight. That's right.

01:05:24.619 --> 01:05:28.099
Crocker? Thank you. This one's for you? All right.

01:05:28.460 --> 01:05:31.179
I got a couple. I'm gonna save the best one for

01:05:31.179 --> 01:05:33.219
last, so the first one should be not that bad.

01:05:33.639 --> 01:05:35.280
Most consecutive stolen bases without getting

01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:40.800
caught. Vince Coleman baseball 50 I was gonna

01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:43.460
say was like 48. Yeah, we're gonna go roll to

01:05:43.460 --> 01:05:47.840
80 or 89. I think you got Crocker or Executive

01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:49.780
producer Kevin Ross. Do you know what number?

01:05:50.059 --> 01:05:55.000
Vince Coleman was no angry 29. What do you get

01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:58.699
you remember? 29. Yeah, I thought that was his

01:05:58.699 --> 01:06:01.039
teammate. Oh, wait a minute. We have a little

01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:03.659
look it up Can you look it up? No, you're right.

01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:05.880
His teammate. Okay. What was Willie McGee's then?

01:06:06.139 --> 01:06:10.719
51. Same as Bernie. Got it. You're right. Do

01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:12.800
you remember he played in a World Series and

01:06:12.800 --> 01:06:14.820
he got injured before it started. Do you remember

01:06:14.820 --> 01:06:18.860
where he got injured from? No. In Kansas City

01:06:18.860 --> 01:06:23.699
they had a tarp that was by a timer or something.

01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:27.679
He was like warming up and it rolled out. And

01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:29.599
like landed on hit his ankle or something he

01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:31.300
like missed the first few games or something

01:06:31.300 --> 01:06:36.340
some crazy ridiculous. Yeah, I Got a great great

01:06:36.340 --> 01:06:38.980
trivia question, by the way, I think it's it's

01:06:38.980 --> 01:06:44.099
interesting What is the only? franchise in NFL

01:06:44.099 --> 01:06:48.559
history to draft three Super Bowl winning quarterbacks

01:06:48.559 --> 01:06:59.199
Yankees L way No, who was the third baseman we

01:06:59.199 --> 01:07:02.260
had? I said NFL, right? Yeah, he did. No, who

01:07:02.260 --> 01:07:07.679
was that? Only franchise in NFL history to draft

01:07:07.679 --> 01:07:13.280
three Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. To draft

01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:19.099
three? I think they were going over to that.

01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:24.139
I thought it was a great question. Nope, I can

01:07:24.139 --> 01:07:25.599
say they didn't all have to play for the team

01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:28.320
that drafted them. Oh, yeah I'm trying to think

01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:29.920
that Eagle said maybe they go to it. I know they

01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:38.000
have to Cowboys to Could it have been they know

01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:47.659
who NFC NFC NFC Because when you think about

01:07:47.659 --> 01:07:52.000
it, you know, I don't know who is it Tampa Bay

01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:55.579
Buccaneers. Who are the three quarterbacks? Doug

01:07:55.579 --> 01:07:58.880
Williams is one of them. Steve Young. Steve Young.

01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:07.659
He was a patriot. I don't know if you remember

01:08:07.659 --> 01:08:13.000
that. No, he wasn't drafted by the Buccaneers

01:08:13.000 --> 01:08:16.840
though. Trent Dilfer. None of them won the Super

01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:20.079
Bowl with the Bucs. That's actually good. Dilfer

01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:23.340
was a raven. They beat the Giants. Damn, that's

01:08:23.340 --> 01:08:26.500
a great question. Is that it? I got an easy one

01:08:26.500 --> 01:08:28.359
for you guys. Since Steph, talk about Steph's

01:08:28.359 --> 01:08:31.079
three pointers. Only two players in NBA history

01:08:31.079 --> 01:08:33.699
to have double digit three pointers in a playoff

01:08:33.699 --> 01:08:36.500
game. Two people have had double -digit three

01:08:36.500 --> 01:08:39.199
-pointers in a playoff game. One had it twice.

01:08:39.539 --> 01:08:42.399
He's not one of them? Steph is not one of them.

01:08:42.699 --> 01:08:44.279
One of them did it twice, the other one did it

01:08:44.279 --> 01:08:47.659
once. That's the reason. Oh yeah, it's definitely,

01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:56.359
I'll go hard on one of them now. They are both

01:08:56.359 --> 01:09:03.850
active. Tatum? No. He's missed more than 10 multiple

01:09:03.850 --> 01:09:09.989
playoff games, but he hasn't had 10. Just a playoff

01:09:09.989 --> 01:09:13.130
game. Just in a playoff game. Trey Young? Nope.

01:09:13.750 --> 01:09:16.250
And right now one plays in the Eastern, one plays

01:09:16.250 --> 01:09:18.590
in the Western right now. One played most of

01:09:18.590 --> 01:09:20.229
his career in the West. Now he's in the East.

01:09:20.229 --> 01:09:25.710
John Wall? Nah, I can't shoot. Number one did

01:09:25.710 --> 01:09:29.529
it twice. Okay, I'll give you one more hand.

01:09:29.590 --> 01:09:32.539
One was Steph's teammate. Like oh god cheese.

01:09:32.579 --> 01:09:34.760
That's one. He's the one that did it once the

01:09:34.760 --> 01:09:38.140
other one did it twice And he's in the east now.

01:09:38.140 --> 01:09:46.119
He's in the east now a spider Mitchell I'll give

01:09:46.119 --> 01:09:51.359
you two words blood clock. Oh Danny Lillard Damn,

01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:54.260
there you go. That sucks. I should have got that

01:09:54.260 --> 01:09:58.560
guys Almost wrapping it up here. Are we done?

01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:02.989
All right To DH or not to DH? What do you think?

01:10:03.289 --> 01:10:07.590
Think we'll ever go back? No. Why? They like

01:10:07.590 --> 01:10:09.989
offense. Every sport changes rules for offense.

01:10:10.149 --> 01:10:13.670
They never change for defense and nobody wants

01:10:13.670 --> 01:10:18.609
to see the pitcher hit. OK, I don't agree. Will

01:10:18.609 --> 01:10:23.130
we ever like what's his name? Yeah. Will we ever

01:10:23.130 --> 01:10:28.350
get rid of video correction? officiating like

01:10:28.350 --> 01:10:32.489
instant replay and all that no NFL just put in

01:10:32.489 --> 01:10:35.449
the thing where they the first down thing is

01:10:35.449 --> 01:10:36.670
Yeah, they're gonna get rid of the first down

01:10:36.670 --> 01:10:38.470
markers gonna be it's gonna be measured by it's

01:10:38.470 --> 01:10:40.670
like if you watch tennis because of the Buffalo

01:10:40.670 --> 01:10:43.010
Kansas City game Maybe they should on a touch

01:10:43.010 --> 01:10:45.859
push a little better like In tennis, they have

01:10:45.859 --> 01:10:47.880
Hawkeye. They don't need judges anymore. And

01:10:47.880 --> 01:10:50.439
it's instant. So it's 100 % accurate. It's instant.

01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:52.079
If it doesn't slow the game down, I don't really

01:10:52.079 --> 01:10:56.199
care. I do not want the strike ball thing in

01:10:56.199 --> 01:10:58.119
Major League Baseball to happen. That would be

01:10:58.119 --> 01:11:02.029
awful. What guys being able to... Like it's part

01:11:02.029 --> 01:11:04.869
of it, you know. But the box is based on the

01:11:04.869 --> 01:11:07.010
size of who they are and where they are on the

01:11:07.010 --> 01:11:09.050
plate. It's the same as if someone's doing it.

01:11:09.050 --> 01:11:11.109
It's not just that little box you see on TV.

01:11:11.130 --> 01:11:13.909
It's three dimensional. It's, you know, so it's

01:11:13.909 --> 01:11:16.689
not just, you know, if the guy's crouching, the

01:11:16.689 --> 01:11:18.729
box moves with them. It should, at least. How

01:11:18.729 --> 01:11:20.270
are they going to do it in the NFL, though? What

01:11:20.270 --> 01:11:21.310
are they going to put something on the ball?

01:11:21.609 --> 01:11:23.109
They have enough cameras out there that they

01:11:23.109 --> 01:11:25.109
can see where the ball is enough angles and they

01:11:25.109 --> 01:11:27.989
know with the lines and the grid. And how did

01:11:27.989 --> 01:11:30.890
they mess it up in a Super Bowl? Jesus. Or whatever

01:11:30.890 --> 01:11:33.250
it was. Because they didn't have it. No, that

01:11:33.250 --> 01:11:34.810
Bill's Cheese Championship. That's what it was.

01:11:35.010 --> 01:11:35.890
Come on, man. Couldn't have been a Super Bowl.

01:11:35.909 --> 01:11:37.890
That thing was over in a hurry. Oh, get out of

01:11:37.890 --> 01:11:40.029
here with the tush -bush. They're not even playing

01:11:40.029 --> 01:11:43.229
the sport. You even said they got a running back

01:11:43.229 --> 01:11:45.670
playing quarterback. It's like rugby. Now you

01:11:45.670 --> 01:11:51.970
love the guy? Ball instantly. That is fine. The

01:11:51.970 --> 01:11:53.649
gambling is making another difference in this

01:11:53.649 --> 01:11:58.949
whole thing. True story. It's too much money.

01:12:00.080 --> 01:12:02.619
Okay, I was against though. You remember I was

01:12:02.619 --> 01:12:04.220
against the whole instant replay thing in the

01:12:04.220 --> 01:12:06.100
beginning Yeah, without doubt with the stupid

01:12:06.100 --> 01:12:08.619
like we're just gonna use it for fair fall on

01:12:08.619 --> 01:12:10.720
a you know long ball home run right Charlie Harbaugh

01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:13.659
and then it yeah, and then it merely went to

01:12:13.659 --> 01:12:15.800
Well, we have the technology why can't we do

01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:18.060
it at first base? And then you know now it's

01:12:18.060 --> 01:12:19.600
you could now they're actually talking about

01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:22.060
the hitter can step out and say challenge that

01:12:22.060 --> 01:12:26.369
Come on. Yeah, come on, man. Come on Can we just

01:12:26.369 --> 01:12:28.989
live with it? Can you imagine having the balls

01:12:28.989 --> 01:12:31.890
to challenge a... They should be egged after

01:12:31.890 --> 01:12:33.229
that or tarred and fed. They need all this stuff

01:12:33.229 --> 01:12:34.869
to speed up the game, now they're gonna go backwards.

01:12:35.590 --> 01:12:38.529
Yeah, no kidding. Bring back Earl Weaver, dude.

01:12:38.949 --> 01:12:42.289
I mean, the crazy thing is, in the NBA, you can

01:12:42.289 --> 01:12:46.760
question a foul. And then the foul can then go

01:12:46.760 --> 01:12:49.539
on the other player after the replay, which kind

01:12:49.539 --> 01:12:52.560
of sucks. It's happened in games. I never knew

01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:55.260
that till this year. That's ridiculous. Jay,

01:12:56.199 --> 01:13:00.520
Hertz or McNabb? I think I take Hertz, no. Whoa.

01:13:01.199 --> 01:13:04.140
I don't think he's past. McNabb or Cunningham?

01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:10.300
McNabb. But I mean, if you're based on just their

01:13:10.300 --> 01:13:12.560
careers with the Eagles. Yeah, you're an Eagle

01:13:12.560 --> 01:13:15.529
guy. Yeah, but I mean I would love to see Randall

01:13:15.529 --> 01:13:18.130
Cunningham playing in today's NFL where Michael

01:13:18.130 --> 01:13:21.789
Vick or Jaws? Oh Vic Jaws was so overrated dude,

01:13:21.890 --> 01:13:26.229
so overrated You know how bad he was? Vic or

01:13:26.229 --> 01:13:30.529
Fulke? Fulkes? Fulkes. Who's Fulke, a kicker?

01:13:30.789 --> 01:13:34.470
Yeah, yeah Nick Fulkes. That's a Super Bowl dude.

01:13:34.590 --> 01:13:40.029
Come on. Beat the coat. I mean Jesus We held

01:13:40.029 --> 01:13:43.270
the goat to 512 hairs patting, I think. Who would

01:13:43.270 --> 01:13:46.130
you rather have on the podcast? The so -called

01:13:46.130 --> 01:13:50.270
goat or Manning or none of the above? Payton

01:13:50.270 --> 01:13:54.109
Manning? Payton Manning. Payton Brady or none

01:13:54.109 --> 01:13:55.329
of the above. Just to talk to? I'll tell you,

01:13:55.409 --> 01:13:59.090
Payton, he's hilarious. Okay. All right. Tom

01:13:59.090 --> 01:14:01.590
would be measured with all his answers. Yeah,

01:14:01.810 --> 01:14:04.310
and he had avocados over here and stuff. I mean,

01:14:04.350 --> 01:14:07.460
you're talking about EY Manning, right? Hall

01:14:07.460 --> 01:14:11.779
of Famer? Yes. You know, I think so. Jay, with

01:14:11.779 --> 01:14:14.359
all the like nonsense Hall of Fame people at

01:14:14.359 --> 01:14:17.340
this point, I just keep, when I'm bored, looking

01:14:17.340 --> 01:14:20.920
at the stats of a Bernie Williams. Yeah. Any

01:14:20.920 --> 01:14:23.020
shot? Yeah, he should have a shot now. I mean,

01:14:23.060 --> 01:14:25.539
the way guys get in and out, he's the Hall of

01:14:25.539 --> 01:14:28.340
Very Good and he was very good. So will he make

01:14:28.340 --> 01:14:31.739
it? And the only shot he's got is like a Veterans

01:14:31.739 --> 01:14:35.470
Committee like in 20 years. He's not dead first,

01:14:35.630 --> 01:14:38.130
because he might be 700 pounds. Speaking of which,

01:14:38.569 --> 01:14:41.470
they're reconsidering PD. They shouldn't, but.

01:14:41.670 --> 01:14:44.789
Why? But he made his own bed, dude, sleeping

01:14:44.789 --> 01:14:47.989
it. There you go. He is. He's having a dirt nap.

01:14:48.149 --> 01:14:49.250
You can't put him in there for being a great

01:14:49.250 --> 01:14:51.609
player. He was a great player. It's because of

01:14:51.609 --> 01:14:54.270
that catcher? It's because he laid out that catcher?

01:14:54.270 --> 01:14:57.689
No, because he bet Ray Fossey. Ray Fossey? Can't

01:14:57.689 --> 01:15:02.689
even walk. He laid him out. Anyway, wrapping

01:15:02.689 --> 01:15:06.140
it up. The season opener, season two, Bristle

01:15:06.140 --> 01:15:09.939
Boys. We sadly missed Lottie, sadly missed a

01:15:09.939 --> 01:15:13.539
Kamish, but the executive producer and Crocker,

01:15:13.539 --> 01:15:17.020
you know what, filled in nicely. Looking forward

01:15:17.020 --> 01:15:21.119
to the second one. Got possibly a special guest

01:15:21.119 --> 01:15:23.500
coming up soon. I can't tell you guys who it

01:15:23.500 --> 01:15:26.859
is, but we're gonna, that's a cliffhanger. And

01:15:26.859 --> 01:15:31.579
I think the Yanks win 94 games, sneak through

01:15:31.579 --> 01:15:34.260
a series or two. and go up against the mighty

01:15:34.260 --> 01:15:36.319
Dodgers and we get the best of them. I think

01:15:36.319 --> 01:15:39.560
Cole's coming back. They said he's way ahead

01:15:39.560 --> 01:15:41.380
of anyone else that has ever had Tommy John.

01:15:41.380 --> 01:15:43.300
That was on April Fool's Day. No, it wasn't.

01:15:43.460 --> 01:15:45.680
He's way ahead. And Ace Bailey's coming back

01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:50.520
to Rutgers and Caravan and McNeely. I'll bet

01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:52.760
you right now Garrett Cole's not ready for the

01:15:52.760 --> 01:15:56.979
start of 2026. I thought it was career ending.

01:15:58.140 --> 01:16:00.060
It's the Yankees, dude. That's all I'm telling

01:16:00.060 --> 01:16:05.619
you. He will pitch in May. in Tampa, 25, simulated

01:16:05.619 --> 01:16:11.180
game in May, 2026. Somewhere around the All -Star

01:16:11.180 --> 01:16:14.319
game. They'll bring them up and they'll celebrate

01:16:14.319 --> 01:16:16.260
it like it's... We don't need them. You hit nine

01:16:16.260 --> 01:16:18.600
home runs a game, we're gonna roll with Freed

01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:21.659
and Rodan and these guys. Strowman, we got them.

01:16:21.939 --> 01:16:24.600
Let's cork the torpedo bats. Good thing we gave

01:16:24.600 --> 01:16:28.529
away Mike King for that clown. You see him he

01:16:28.529 --> 01:16:31.029
can hit he he can yeah any other guy can pitch

01:16:31.029 --> 01:16:35.649
I'll give you Devers for three torpedo bats Honestly,

01:16:35.850 --> 01:16:38.710
would you give us Devers for um, are you guys

01:16:38.710 --> 01:16:43.170
giving up on Devers? No, no He has a patch every

01:16:43.170 --> 01:16:46.670
season we're over swinger He likes to play the

01:16:46.670 --> 01:16:48.149
field he's not playing this, you know, they're

01:16:48.149 --> 01:16:50.590
DH and he wants to play third base Yeah, we gave

01:16:50.590 --> 01:16:55.359
you Stanton full pay No, no. Does he still chop?

01:16:55.359 --> 01:16:59.939
Hold on, together? Stanton, Volpe. I don't know.

01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:01.600
I thought you couldn't do that anymore. Will

01:17:01.600 --> 01:17:05.000
you give Wellesley up for him? For Devers? Tomorrow.

01:17:05.520 --> 01:17:09.779
Oh, Welles, Volpe, and Stanton for Devers? I'm

01:17:09.779 --> 01:17:12.819
not sure if I'm giving up to shortstop candy.

01:17:12.899 --> 01:17:15.460
How about Feralta? I would give up. I would give

01:17:15.460 --> 01:17:18.800
up Stanton for Devers' sneakers that he doesn't

01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:20.100
wear during the game. How about the captain?

01:17:20.319 --> 01:17:24.279
The captain for Devers? Nah. We got an icon in

01:17:24.279 --> 01:17:28.359
right field now. I know, but he smashes baseballs

01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:30.680
in that park. He murdered me in fantasy, dude,

01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:35.359
already. Who, Devers? No, Judgey. Judgey gave

01:17:35.359 --> 01:17:37.539
me an out. Guy hit three home runs. Yeah. Against

01:17:37.539 --> 01:17:38.979
me, yeah. I think I made of his performance.

01:17:39.539 --> 01:17:42.300
