The good guys prevail again. Team USA brings home the
gold medal.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Hey, hey, hey you he congratulations your gold medalists. How
do you feel, BJ?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
How you like?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Listen?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Man, I'm gonna be honest with you, guys. I've had
a hillatious day. I'm I'm serious. I've had a hillatious
personal day to the point that I'm driving in Martin.
Normally I listened to either classical music or listen to
Monty and Steve, and I want to catch like the
last you know, forty five thirty minutes. What are they
talking about? See what theyre talking about? So I don't
regurgitate something that some of the other great talent here
(01:55):
Fox Sports Radio have said already on air.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
And I walk in and I'm okay.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
And as I walk into the door, I recognize mister
Chris Purfett stand in the hallway talking to a gentleman.
But I don't recognize the gentleman because I've had a
relatious personal day and I'm not feeling that great. And
the closer I walk to him, and the closer I get, Martin,
who the hell do I see but our guy Brandon Trufflaw,
(02:22):
our longest running producer who left and is now down in.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
The Diego area doing this thing.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
And he told me he could tell that I'm not
from down there because I call it Diego and I'll
keep calling it for Diego because I'm not down there
and I'm not from down there.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
That's fine.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
But to see his smiling face and we need to
just give a bro dapping hug. We gave a double
arm bro hug with a little squeeze in there. Man,
I missed that guy. So good to see him. And
it was almost God's way of telling me VJ. Everything
is gonna be just fine. I've put the right people
around you, and the right people are gonna win today,
(02:57):
as Team USAY did in the right guy, in my opinion,
shut the door.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
How how about now, I'll let you lead into it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
But how about that? Listen.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I saw a good friend of mine, Cam hay Huh
tweet at the time during the.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Was it the pool play games?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
He tweeted, the first set of deep three bombs from
Steph Curry's going to cause an international incident.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And I've been stealing.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That's where I thtole international as I'm using it all
all the last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
That's where I got it from and sure enough.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Steph Curry light largely absent, are not really honestly, had
not played up to the standard that we expect to
see out of Steph Curry until the game, the second
place game and the gold medal game, and he was
a sight to see, unlike the first game that he
went off against Serbia right to push Serbia into the
(03:52):
gold medal game at like right there, he was getting
hot off the top. That's what thank you Bron's medal game.
He was getting hot off the top of the game, right.
But the thing that had me concerned in that moment
with Serbia was matching shot for shot for shot for shot.
Now in this time, he goes off at the start
of the fourth quarter and it's just every time France
went on a run. Steph Curry was like, thank you sir.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Here's another one.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Take this, take that, take this, take that half, have
another one.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And I saw him the best.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
It was so great because Steph was talking so crazy,
so crazy, you didn't need to know.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Look, you know, this is the Olympics, all types of
languages flying around. You didn't have to know English.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
You know that Steph Curry was talking that cash talk Okay,
And then when he looked over, he said, you ain't
gotta worry about me. You ain't gotta worry about me.
We ain't worried no more.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Baby. Oh, matter one and done. Steph Curry, Man, you.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Want to talk about hey, you don't talk about being
a bus you know, saying it's a bus rider along
for the ride.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
No, no, no, Steph was.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Out there in about seventy five in the fast lane,
out there on the autle bomb.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Why y'all want to pass the torch on to somebody else?
Steph said, record scratch.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
No, no, no, no, no, homeboy. I'm still here. I'm still chef.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
I'm still four time champion, I'm still two time MVP,
one time unanimous. I'm still Stephan freaking Curry. Oh you
want to run at me? Have you not been watching
the NBA?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh, let me just pump fake you one side dribble,
take my time, three ball. Let me let me turn
around and look. Because it ain't just the All Star game.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I do this. It ain't just a regular season NBA game.
I do this.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
It ain't just a playoff game I do this. It
ain't just end up the NBA Finals game I do
I do this.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
On the world.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Stage called the old lamb Bis for the gold medal.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
All these stars around.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, Lebron played good, Durant had his moments, An Edwards
had his moments. But when it comes to close the door,
my favorite saying is when everybody pushes all their chips
to the middle of the table and it's all or nothing,
It's on me. There's something to be said for the
guy that says, give me the ball, get on my
(06:16):
damn shoulders, and I'll take us the rest of the way.
No foul, honey, no flopping. No, I'm gonna just do
what I do once again. You want to come flying
at me? Open here, three straight possessions. You would think
about our time defenders like, wow, don't run, just don't
run and fly at him.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
He's gonna headfake you. One reuble step to the left
or the right, rainbow splash. Come have some man.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Congratulations the team USA and this is what the Olympics
are all about. And Martin and I never thought they
would lose, not or leave Paris not having a gold medal.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
We never thought that maybe some teams could give him
a rum. But at the end of the day, we're
the United States of America. We have the best of
the best of everything.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's just who we are. Like it or not. But
guess what, guess what you gotta do. Rest of the world.
You gotta deal with it.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Like Rick Flair used to say, you ain't gotta love it,
but you better learn to live with it because it's
the best thing going today.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Whoa Team USA and Steph.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Kirk fellow light skin brother being along with me and
Martin finishes it off for Team USA.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Right, we're bad, Yeah, we we went way, we get nowhere.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
No, I'm just saying, yo, hey, we have some Canadians
take some ls.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You know what. That's what about the Red, White, and Blue?
All right, Drake and Jamal American goals somewhere?
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Well you can add you can add who's who's the
guy from that before slips? My mind was with Memphis
causes all the trouble man, Yeah, yeah, yeah, book books.
He's Canadian and he light skin too, so gotta ask
you gotta add him in there too.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
But you're right, they've been taking some l's.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
But today the American light skinned brother said, hey, get
on my shoulders.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I got y'all. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
It was such to me, just a great game. Not
only just it just great competition. And you know what, honestly,
two things that came from this. First of all, I
was on this well before we got to the gold
medal game. Just an Olympic observation. Why don't we have
NBA Day games? Why don't we have NBA Day Yo?
Eighty Like there's eighty two games. You know what I
(08:16):
would watch on Tuesday at three pm, Hawks versus the Hornets, whoever?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I'd watch it. Why because it's on. We got baseball
day games.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Let's get some NBA Day games going on, I think,
first of all, But secondly, to watch these guys who
you see play, like to watch a guy like Devin Booker.
I thought about this the other like, while watching this game,
Devin Booker is a certified bucket.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, Devin Booker.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Got a seventy point game seven, I mean like seven
if Devin Booker, like in the playoffs with Devin Booker
was scoring like kind of like left than thirty, people like, yo,
what's going on?
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Real talk?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
What's happening? Real talk, what's happening like?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And and in that moment, it wasn't necessarily there for
him to take the shots the way he fit in
seamlessly on the defensive side of the ball and then
offensively when his number was called, bang knockdown. Right to
watch guys like Kevin Durant, another guy who you're looking
at him like, yo, you can get wherever you want
to to see him, like playing hard denial post.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Defense right, which you never see Durant due. And I'll
be honest, like Dennis Shrewder had a comment.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I don't know if you saw it, but basically it
was about I'm paraphrasing, but the basic statement was foeba,
basketball is more about basketball.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Like you okay, yeah, yeah, that's more about basketball like
Q less about one on one. That's part of the
reason why the quote unquote gap is shrinking and all
of that. And I feel where you're coming from. But
what we like and it's part of it is true.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
But when it comes down to crunch time, the Olympic
tournament is very much the same thing as the playoffs.
How many bucket getters do you have, How many guys
do you have that can bail you out of late
shot clock situations? How many guys do you have that
could throw grenades at the rim with two people guarding them,
(10:08):
with a six point lead to extended to keep the
run at Bay.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It was getting tight. How was getting tight? Three point game?
Three point It was getting tight.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
It was three point game with three minutes left, and
Steph said, no, excuse me, sir, I'm taking this gold
home with me.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Ain't nothing y'all can do about it. Yeah, forget the
pick and roll, high pick and roll.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
If you notice, like before Steph went off, they go
down the court three straight times. Lebron brings the ball
up and I'm like, bro, listen, I get it, Lebron,
but come off of it for this one.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Just come off of for this one.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
You're gonna get a gold medal like everybody else, and
just give the ball to Steph Curry and just let
him put this squad, either him or Durant. Let them
put this team away. They went with Curry, like you said,
one three pointer down, second three pointer down, and the
whole don't worry about me. Listen, man, you're talking Carmelo.
Anthony's sitting over there with his beautiful sons. Shakiri Richardson
(10:57):
is sitting over there.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
She go gets Curry a hug at I mean, the
star of stars that are still left at the Olympics,
and even that aren't participating in the Olympics. Snoop Dog
was Starbarry by the way, quick sidebar five hundred K
for his appearances at the Olympics. Go Snoop, talk about
a man that can still get a back her apparance.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Her appearance five hundred k.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Hello, Hey, like I said, talk about a guy that
could still go get it back.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
But also you didn't think this game was important.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Durant thirty one minutes, Lebron thirty two minutes, Booker twenty
eight minutes, Curry twenty to thirty minutes. I'm sorry the
other bam out of bio played nine minutes. Like that
showed you what today meant.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It showed you how Kerr was like, Okay, listen, y'all
not gonna have nothing to say to me today because
I'm just gonna play the dogs and I'm gonna just
let them run and eat and I'll, you know, I'll
filter on some other guys.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
AD got about nineteen twenty minutes. But other than that,
we running with the big dogs. They can't hang with
A shout out the victor winbin Yama, he had a
really good game, twenty six points, overly like twelve or
nineteen or eleven nineteen. From the field, he played very well.
You can see he's definitely a superstar coming. But once again, man,
just man, just you were right right now. I was
never worried. But this was way better than the Serbia game,
(12:12):
even though they were down seventeen. I just don't look
at Serbia's No, this is the gold medal game. This
is this is friends, this is their young star, the
rookie of the Year unanimously from the NBA First Team
All Defense in the NBA, Like, this is this is
the young new guy we're going up against with some
other ballers around their home court advantage.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Martin.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I will say on m on the point of when Minyama,
I was like, you know what, I kind of owe
everybody an apology. Not that I thought that Victor was
going to be bad, but I was telling everybody, y'all
got to chill with this.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
He's Kevin Durant mixed with Steph mixed with Lebron mixed
with all of After you watch you play in this
type of situation, I can.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
See where I can see where like he still got
things to work on in this game.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
But I can see where everybody gets super excited about
it in that environment, right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Obviously, the NBA stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That we've seen it's been otherworldly, but when you see
it in that kind of space, because because the referees
are calling a different game, there's more there's almost there's
less spacing in the international game. These guys who clog
the lane, so it's it's a different style and it's
a little member clad.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Ten and international bat. You can knock it off the rim.
It that a few times and he should have. He
should have. I wish America did it a few more times,
but we didn't need it. But once again, Martin, congrats man.
It was today's game was really fun. But this is
what the Olympics are all about. You get really juiced
when the gold medals on the line, and when the red, white,
and blue, the stars and stripes is out there representing
(13:34):
our country, a country I've served and come from an
army family. It just means a little some extra to
a guy like me.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I completely understand that I did not serve, But I
tell you what you would have had I would have
bought like a.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Congratulations your team just won the gold medal, because.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What eight hundred four four four four to get your
commemorative cap. And you know you're hating magazine like I
would have bought it in an R beat Man if
they had ran that.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
I would remember the day as soon as the team
wins Sports Sports Illustrated. Now get the ninety three Bulls
T shirts and hat.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
And when the Saints won the Super Bowl, I was
sitting on I could not wait for the number to
pop over. I couldn't wait. I was like, it's finally
my turn, It's my turn. Finally, it's my turn.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Oh man, good stuff, great stuff today.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
So I'll tell you what, though, caps it off.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Team USA has got some work to do in the
next three and a half years.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Oh yeah, because, oh yeah. I don't think any of
those guys will be coming back. I think maybe aunt,
but I don't think.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
No, no, no, no, no no. I'm talking about the
three amigos. Oh no, no, no no no. They're done. They're done.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They gotta be They're done, right, They're done. You know
they're gonna go play the three on three imagine.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
And even I got like Anthony Davis, right, I think
the question and Anthony Davis is on the question, and
Devin Booker should be like, I mean, they'll be Anthony
Davis would be what thirty two, Devin Booker will be
thirty one.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
But at that's how they'll be the old heads of
the new team, wearing tearing the body though. You know
that Anthony Davis, he's wearing tearing. His body gets hurt
a lot in the NBA season.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Three years, four years from now, I take the under
on Anthony Davis one.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You know what, I don't care because right now we
got the gold medal.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That's right, Baby, we the best. Go Noah Lyles to
kick rock.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
World Champions, Baby World Champions. Took them all, saw them all,
knocked them all down.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
What do you think BBC? Yeah? See, the BBC sounds
better than the BVF.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Oh okay, so much drama with the BBC.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yeah, oh okay, all right, I like I could use that.
And I'm going to Mary, if you ever play that,
I'm gonna cut my mic on and say that with
so much drama in the BBC.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yeah, put your tongue back in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Please, thank you. See, I'm the gift. The listeners don't
need to know that, Mary, they have to if I
saw it, everyone has to know what happened. Oh God,
I love you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Kirk Cousins wanted to play some in the preseason yesterday,
but after the Atlanta Falcons game, they said, you know what, Nope, sorry, Kurk.
You're thirty six with one Achilles. You're gonna go ahead
and sit this one out. Let's give the Rains the
number eight overall pick Michael Pennix, who is nine for
sixteen one hundred and four yards and a quarter and
(18:11):
a half of work against DJ's Dolphins VJ. What do
you think the chances are that Penix outplays his position
as QB.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Two percentage're not ten percent. He's not gonna get the
starting job. He's not gonna get the starting job unless
mister Kirk just can't go. You don't give a guy
a guaranteed one hundred million dollars and some way, somehow
Penick is gonna play it. I watched the game here
with you doing in filling in for the odd couple,
(18:40):
and then, of course, as I do classic Ved style,
I watched it again at about one am, sitting on
my front porch drinking a little tequila, and he made
some Oka throws but he missed. He missed like two
or three throws where guys he had a chance to
lay a ball in there. Overthrew twice in the corner,
throwing Fay patters in the end zone. He was off
both times. So you do see some of the learning
(19:02):
curve that he is gonna go through, like all these
rookie quarterbacks are gonna go through. And that's fine, but
simply because you have Kirk Cousins, simply because he's one
hundred million dollar guaranteed money on the contract. If he
can go September eighth or ninth, or whatever it is
to start the season. If Kirk Couzin can go, he's
gonna go. I would still play and start Pinis again
(19:25):
in game two.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Well, I mean, who else is going to yep?
Speaker 6 (19:28):
I would start and play Penis again in game two,
and then if Kurt can go for series or two
or maybe a full quarter in game three. I think
Kurt's a guy. He's been around Martin, he's been around,
He's played. There's nothing that's gonna surprise him. There's nothing
new that's gonna happen. You want to make sure that
the guy's ready to go. You don't want to just
throw him out there and throw him to the Wolves.
In a preseason game, it gets a defensive end undrafted
(19:51):
that's trying to make the team and feels like, hey,
I'm gonna take this shot. I might get a flag,
but it might it might look like a hustle play
on film, and now hurts out.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
You know what I'm saying. You don't want that, so
I show them.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
I let Pennix get as much burning run as he
can and his Kirk's ready for opening Sunday.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That's the guy.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I mean, I think Kirk Cousins will be the Week
one starter. I don't think that was ever in question.
My question is this is the week ten starter, Like
you know what I'm saying, How does it Kirk Cousins
start the whole season if healthy? Because you know what,
we do know one thing about these quarterback battles and
so on, and we saw definitely like for example, in
Pittsburgh last season, Kenny Pikett was the guy. But you
(20:30):
can't fool the guys in the locker room. Yeah, right
after a while, there are the ones going out there
on the practice field and you owe it to your
team to play the best option, right because you have to.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You can't go out there.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
This ain't basketball where you're saying no, no, no, Joellenbiid
in Philadelphia seventy six ers, we actually want you to lose, right,
we need another number one overall pick. We actually would
like you to lose you like, you can't do that
in the NFL. So that's the question I'm asking, Like,
how long does Pennixes Kirk Cousins hold him off Oh,
as long as the competitive, as long as they're winning,
(21:01):
as long as they're five hundred or about five hundred
or right above five hundred. Yeah, pinis if Kirk Cousins
is I'm sorry, maybe I just I miss Ridyrick, I
miss heard your miss Redgick question. If kirk Cousins is
healthy and he doesn't get knocked out of a game,
we won't see pennis this year unless they start two
to nine or start one in seven or one to eight,
which I don't see happening. They got a lot of
(21:23):
talent on this team, they really do. Reeen Morris new
head coach. I think I think they're I think Kirk.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Cousins is farm. You said you don't see that happening.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Well, let's see what Alex Monico sees happening soon.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He is what I like to call a maniac. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It's host of the Better half Hour on MSG Sports.
Better Extraordinaire, Alex.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
How are you? My friend?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Martin Vijay? What's up? Boys? Happy Saturday? Listen? I'm down
the Disneyland Freeway. You guys are doing this unbelievable energy
out the top. Congrats on a gold medal. It's a
great day in the neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Just real quick, did you have any and I know
the odds on the gold medal game. I know you
were all probably all over the betting on that perspective.
Did you have any doubt that the USA was taking
home gold at any point?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
No doubt, absolutely, no doubt. It was a lock. It
was a lock. Again the fifteen points spread. Different conversation
game within the game that I play. But as far
as a dub, no, never a doubt. Lebron, Curry, kd
the big three of that squad, I mean the rotations. Look,
(22:31):
Kurr was doing a thankless job the whole time. Again,
the Tatum thing was interesting. Neither here nor there. They
got the gold. They're coming back winners. It's a big
dub for.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Everybody, all right, Monica, you said it absolutely right, the
coming back winners, which over and unders are you targeting
because we are also trying to come back winners. And
I know when you go to the sport, when you
go to the ticket booth, more often than not you're
coming back and trade that ticket for some cash.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Let me know what I need to be looking at.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Listen, the biggest thing in the NFL that happened in
this offseason. I heard you told me Vjay's already squad
riding with me, so I love it. He's a former,
the former San Diego Chargers, who I am in recovery
with as a fan born and raised in ron Burgundy Land,
(23:19):
are coming for everybody's jugular. And I'm here to tell
you Jim Harbaugh a real Gerald Butler, leader of men.
It's finally the missing piece this team needed. And as
hard as it is for me to root for a
team in a town with seven fans because they're all
down in San Diego, still we all know what Jim
(23:41):
Harbaugh does. I got a ridiculous amount of stats here
of what he used to do in the NFL, but
neither here nor there. Guy signs a record breaking deal
and chooses to stay in an RV right next to
the Pelican Hill. That's the man, phild Og. I'm telling
(24:02):
you he's not only a quarterback whisperer. You look at
what he did in San Francisco Boys forty four and nineteen.
All four years he was top ten and turnover ratio,
top half of the league in yardage differential, and his
defenses were top ten points against the top five and
yards against all every year he was there. What do
(24:24):
the Chargers not do? Because again we know this, you
cannot have great weather and winning football typically in southern California.
Matty Staff rewrote that, But the point is these games
last year seventeen points combined in six losses. That's called
situational coaching. I had a real problem with Brandon Staley
(24:48):
running scares on Monday Night Primetime, not getting the boys
riled up, and trying to have a coordinator like a
head coach. It's just is what it is. Stay's go on,
Hardbot's here they got players on all three phases defensively,
and here here's what it is not glamorous to let
go of Mike will Eckler, and the list goes on
(25:10):
of quality names. Keenan Allen. It's not easy to watch
those guys go. But if you've noticed what he's done,
he's integrated key pieces. He went first pick offensive lineman
and a legacy pick on the offensive line. He went
and got his brothers, not one running back, two running backs,
(25:31):
Gus Edwards, JK. Domins. So in this world, we live
in a fantasy football and YadA, y'ada, everyone wants to
see touchdowns aired out. Herbert can be a top five
quarterback in this league. They're gonna do what Harbad does.
They're gonna run the pass, They're gonna win time of possession,
they're gonna win the turnover battle, and their defense is
gonna help their offense. And it's something Charger fans are
(25:53):
not used to. I think you're looking at eight and
a half wins as disrespectful. I'm not saying it over
three to one. They're gonna steal the division. I'm just
saying after the Travis Kelsey Taylor honeymoon stage and they're
well fed over there in Kansas City. There's a team
coming for everybody, and if they don't steal the West,
they're gonna be in the dance and the tournament comes January,
(26:14):
and everybody better look out because the Chargers are coming
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Alex, you're one of the best and sharpest guys. You're
talking over and under and bettering in football.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
So whenever I have you on, I'm trying to stomp
you like I'm trying to give you something to really
really dig into. And now you must have been reading
my Charger notes, are watching our clips for the last
three or four weeks because you sound exactly like me.
But I want to talk about my beloved Miami Dolphins
being at Samos being at my man. OOS's got is bread,
(26:45):
Tyreek got his bread, Wattle got his bread, Anthony Weaver's
in with this defense. You listen to the players. You
know when guys are you know when guys are bs,
and then you know where guys are telling the truth
about the coaching staff that they have, the way they're
able to play. The last list of year stuff with
Vick was just out of it is just really out
of sources, with a defense that's still finnished tenth in
(27:05):
the league, that still lost every rusher and still didn't
have Jalen Ramsey until November. You look at this Dolphins team,
It'd be hard pressed for me to look at that
nine and a half and think anybody's got the balls
to go under on that. Change my mind or get
on the bus with me like you are with the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Listen. I love the Fins this year. I like what
you did. My issue with them was what they did
last year against teams about five hundred and again. I'm
gonna mend in blacket. I'm gonna forget last year as
a whole. But the reality is, I gotta be proven
that Tua and these boys can go against the Juggernauts
(27:45):
in the league. I will never forget that Dallas game,
that twenty two to twenty dance. I believe it was
somewhere right around Christmas.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Christmas even might have been off this Christmas night.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
That's one I need to see more of those types
of games. And I'm not saying they can't do it
decimated with Chubbs and a couple of defensive injuries towards
the end. There. I am looking at that division though
as beating each other up all year. I actually believe
reshuffling the deck, the Bills may be the team that
may be taking a step back, and the two horse
(28:17):
rates to win the East is actually gonna be between
Aaron Rodgers Jet and the Miami Dolphins. I think that
over nine and a half tasty. I like it. I
definitely cost I'm up on the Dolphins, but they got
to be able to show you can they go into
a cold environment once that temperature dropped? Can they go
(28:38):
into a hostile place again? You know, you lost to
the Chiefs, you lost to the Eagles. You got smoked
by the Bills at Buffalo. Those are games they gotta win.
I think they will get there this year. I think
it's a progressive league in a lot of ways, and
they're coming in with a lot of continuity, which is huge.
But it's a very difficult AFC. We know it's a
superior conference and it's a very difficulty and Aaron Rodgers
(29:02):
there turning Gray ain't got no time and that's a round.
It can't be swiveling and hurting himself again. So it's
gonna be a dialed in east. I look at this
team though, as a team you gotta buy in on early.
I'm with you on the fence. I just got to
see him against the superior AFC type teams. Can they
do it? Can they show up? Can't be losing by
(29:23):
two tugs on Natty Tz against the Eagles?
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Yeah, I got you, Alex Monico Sports better host of
the Better half hour. And just to kind of piggyback
on what you were saying, because I'm gonna defend my
Dolphins with I don't try to do I try to
remain professional, but.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
That that that record against winning teams.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Let's just understand that the Bills twice, the Chiefs twice,
the Eagles in the Ravens.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Okay, so I just want to make sure that we
tell the whole story. Yeah, they had a.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Under five hundred record, They're up at Philly, They're up
on the Bills in the Chiefs game over in England.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
We know how that things turn out.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
And then yeah, the Ravens just smoked us and that
one regular season game at home.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
But no, I agree with you totally.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
The Dolphins this year, it's all about December because we
know if they get a home playoff game, lookout.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I love it. And I'm telling you boys, the New
York Jets, Okay, no one wants could hear it and
it sounds exhausting.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You're right, I definitely don't. You're gonna have to pitch
me on this one.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I'm telling you. I'm sitting here perplexed, gentlemen, that it's
the same over under at nine and a half wins?
Is the what three hundred sixty five days ago? Fly out?
Perplexed because we're done with Aaron Rodgers, Mike Space Top
eight friends, Wizard and Cop come into town. They went
out and got actual Mike Williams, et cetera. Pieces I
(30:42):
mean Greece, Hall is a sleeper on the top five side.
If they close to the five, than he is three
by any means at the running back sixteen, won seven games,
was the third straight corterback in Denver. I sit here
and I tell you Hammer the New York Jets, who
again up not won ten games since quite a long
(31:03):
time ago. But this is a club that has a
very high belief. And I'm telling you it is a
town that is thirty. The New York Knicks are giving
good juju all the way across the board, and he.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Counts in that life.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I like how the New York Jests, the New York
Jests are here.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I like how the next juju, the next, the next
juju doesn't spill over at all to the giants.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Now I'm just giving you a hard time, Alex. All right,
let's let's go rapid fire real quick. Give me some
of your rewards.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Who you think would be MVP, Rookie of the Year,
Offensive Player of the year, defensive player.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Whichever one jumps out to you, you get dealer's choice.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
You know it's not it's not the most glamorous, but
a guy that's had himself a heck of a three
sixty five. Shout out Jared Goff, who did just get yo.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I love this pick, go for it.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
There were not a lot of dudes who in thirty
tugs last year, boys over forty five hundred yards only
ninety seven QBR. He had a career high just shy
a seventy percent completion his first Pro Bowl since he
was a Ram. They had seven Pro Bowlers, fourth most
in the NFC. So much continuity. Gibbs is a player.
(32:13):
Almar Raz a top five receiver coming in this year.
Lallport is a top five tight end, and they got
a real culture. I know it's a little bit of
a long shot, but the value there for Jared Goff
to win an MVP, it's gotta be the least worth
a thought it once they doubled down on gives in Montgomery.
But I still think he can put up the numbers
(32:35):
to get him there. It's worth a sprinkle. I'm looking
at him as well, And then it's really hard to
not give Caleb a serious nod here. How often have
we seen a first overall draft pick coming in with
a seven win club that already made a couple of
huge moves, well four last season. Then they go out.
They doubled out on offense. There's weapons everywhere. I know
(32:56):
we got a small little costco sample this morning. But
he looks fum moe. He looks poised, he knows who
he is. He doesn't care about critics. Very rare for
a young kid. And look, he played in Olklahoma, played
at USC, He's been in big environments and Chicago is
such an amazing sports city, so so darsty for a
real kolder bag. I think Caleber Rookie of the Year.
(33:19):
It's his to lose. It's definitely his to lose. It's
definitely shock. I just don't think we've seen this very often,
where you get a guy coming in first overall with
a team that's nowhere near the worst in the league.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
See Honicle, I knew you were sharp. I knew you
were sharp because to me, that's my dark horse MVP.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
If you look at the odds right there, you consider
the history of how the MVP is won, I think
he's got a great shot to go to the guy
in Detroit, especially in the end a weaker NFC compared
to the AFC. But Alex Monico, you never my friends
are week on the microphone. Thanks for hopping on the show, Alex.
You can find them on Twitter at Alex Underscore Monico.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Watch him on MSG. We'll get you back on real soon.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Friend, Hey, Marv VJ. Appreciate you, boy, appreciate god boss brother.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Come on next, I'm talking into some of the reasons
why I think that Jared Golf is a good value
MVP bet.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
And also.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
I'm sorry, Mike, Yeah, I gotta hear that, all right,
you gotta we got to hear it too. You gotta
turn that microphone. I'm just I'm just I'm just busting
your ball, pal that shit. And also, speaking of busted balls,
are you guys done complaining about this yet?
Speaker 9 (34:28):
We?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Can we be done? Can we be done? All right?
But first let's go to Chris Burfett.
Speaker 10 (34:33):
I'm never done complaining. I want to hear this Jared
Goff MVP thing too. This is uh, even as a
Lions guy, this should be interesting. Yeah, but let's get
you to Paris.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Doctor Curry dancing up until hold for this couple teams.
Speaker 10 (34:50):
That's all right, Steph Curry there NBC on the call.
As he puts Paris to sleep ninety eight eighty seven
Team USA fifth straight gold medal in basketball over Team
Franz Steph Curry again eight of twelve from three in
this game here, just absolute dominance in the final minutes.
(35:12):
Full medal count. Right now, as we head into Sunday,
USA with thirty eight gold medals one hundred and twenty
two medals total, they still tril China in gold who
has thirty nine host France with sixty two medals sixteen gold.
In Major League Baseball, real quick, Baltimore Orioles a chance
to move atop the al least alone after the Yankees
(35:33):
and Rangers split doubleheader. Yankees took the first game eight
zero nine to three, Rangers in the second currently Baltimore
four nothing over Tampa in the fifth inning. Let's see here,
and then let's talk some pre seasons. Shally Caleb Williams
debut of Chicago four seven ninety five yards Bears thirty
three six over the Bills Raiders at Vikings. JJ McCarthy,
(35:54):
this is your rookie of the year.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
VJ.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
Sure thirds, sure pass, third interception. No tell the rest though,
but the rest of it is actually pretty good in volume,
quite a bit of a play here for him. Eleven
of seventeen one hundred and eighteen yards two touchdowns might
be actual quarterback controversy if Minnesota wants to stick with
Sam dartl Jade Daniels was your other rookie limited dislayer
(36:19):
the Commanders two or three forty five yards three three
yard rushing touchdown. And finally, Windham Championship. Max Kucher minus
twelve shot sixty four but Rex Greezerman, who's only one
back shot sixty on Saturday, Guys, back to you.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Thanks Chris, coming right up that thing. I just tease.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I'll tell you why Jared Goff historically has a good
shot to win the MVP.

Martin Wise Video Husky coming to you live from the
tire Rack dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Now, all right, VJ, let's work backwards on this MVP deal.
Looks do who do you think was the last MVP
that did not win their division the last end. I'm
not even trying to do a trick question.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Legitimate legitimate question that did not win his division here,
and I could run through the last three for you,
just so you got a freshman mind.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Twenty twenty three, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers back
to back in twenty and twenty one, Lamar again in
twenty nineteen, Mahomes twenty eighteen, Tom Brady, but the New
England Patriots in twenty seventeen, Matt Ryan, cam Newton. That's
about the last. Aaron Rodgers again at Peyton Manny. That's
the last.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Decade of MVPs.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Lamar Jackson. I think he won the division both years
that he wanted. The point is you almost have to
assuredly win the division to be even.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Like, oh, it wasn't one of those guys you were
just named. I was just naming.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
You had the pressure I thought I had to pick.
I wasn't out of that pick. What I'm saying is
you have to almost always be in the MVP voting.
You have to win your division on top of that
name me. Remember try to remember these teams in these years.
Baltimore last season, Kansas City this season before Green Bay
and twenty and twenty one. Okay Ravens in twenty nineteen,
(38:21):
Kansas City and New England at twenty seventeen. You know
all those teams have in common. No, they finished first
or second in their conference at the end of the
year in their division. No, no, no, finish first. They
all won the division. Okay, they all finished first or
second in their conference. In their conference.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
These are two.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Things that almost assuredly, you have to do to be
on the team of the guy that wins the MVP.
Now you tell me, do you think the Lions are
going to win their division? I know it's August tenth,
I'm not holding you no, all right, but do you
think the Lions going to the division? Tell me how
many teams are better than the Lions in the NFC.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Forty nine ers?
Speaker 2 (39:04):
So right now, right now, you would have the but
it'd be forty nine ers and that's it. So the
Lions right now, by the VJ metrics, would potentially would
finished second in the NFC.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Conference, right right. Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (39:19):
I see when you look at the history of the award,
Jared Golf is a great bet for this because the
Lions should win the NFC North, right, they should win it,
and not only should they win it, though, they're gonna
have some high paid competition or at least highly valued
competition among it in Chicago and green Bay.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Right, a lot of people are gonna pick green Bay.
So if the Lions, if the Lions fell, Green Bay,
and the guy who I think probably will be the
rookie of the year, Caler Williams on a good Bears
team beat a good Packers team, win the division, fitish
first or second in the NFC, probably second behind San Francisco.
If everything keeps track, why shouldn't Jared Golf You know
(40:02):
what I'm saying, Like, think about it, think about I
got confused.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
I thought I maybe I mishard you. I thought you
said didn't win their division. That's why my mind went
and when you started naming those guys.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
So think about it the other way.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
It's the last wildcard to come from an MVP, the
last MVP to come from a wildcard team. Man, I
don't none of these guys have been none, Right, you
see what I'm saying. So you almost gotta win the division,
and you almost gotta be one of the top two teams.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Get in the conference, get to the conference championship game.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Well, just not even at the end of the regular season,
when the standings come out, you're almost assuredly got to
be one of the top two.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
That's that's why Jared Goff coming up next. This is
why the gold medal game was a little sad go
us he It was a sad sight.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
To see in France. I explaining just a moment as
Martin Weiss and VJ.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Husky are broadcasting live from the tiraq dot com studios
tire rack dot com. Well, if you get there with
the unmatched election, fast free shipping, free road at the
protection over ten thousand, recommend that this dollars tiereck dot
com is.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
The way that tire bind should be.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
So the reason why I say it was kind of
I mean, so first of all, let me ask you this, Djay, Sure,
when you saw Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Lebron James
all playing together at the same time, really going back
to that, what do you even call that game? Was
the court of the some of the semifinals into the finals, right,
(41:27):
what were your thoughts or emotions?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
You know, it's coming to an end with these three guys.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
I think, and I've said on our show before, I
think all three of those guys are done winning NBA championships.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
I don't think the Warriors are going to win the
championship anymore. I don't think the Lakers are going to
win the championship anymore, well, Lebron, and I don't think
the Suns are going to win a championship with the
team that they currently have, even though they're pushing all
their chips in and loading up on every guy that
they possibly can, like.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
The Philadelphia seventy six ers.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
I think that's what made this so important to them,
and I think that's what made this so important to
the basket all world is because we can see the
door closing on these guys and the career coming to
an end. And if you can't win an NBA championship,
well hell, you might as well put together all NBA guys,
add for four or five more guys than that, and
(42:16):
then just go win an Olympic gold medal and go
from there.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
So my thought was like, it was fun. It was
fun to see them together. It was really fun seeing
Steph and Katie together again because it brought back those memories.
Lebron hasn't played with either one of those guys. Those
two guys have played with each other before. So that's
what went through my mind, is that, as you said
earlier in the show, you know what change in of
the guard is coming. We had Medino on yesterday filling
(42:42):
in for the odd couple, and he talked about maybe
them going to you know, two or three of the
super names in the league and then really just trying
to fill out a proper team that can compete, which
we kind of don't have to do because at the
end of the day, as you said, right, we just
got bucket getters.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
Four quarter.
Speaker 6 (43:00):
We just have the world's best. Go get you a bucket.
Guy's on planet Earth. As the highlights are up right
now from the game earlier, and you just see everybody
who's touching the ball can go get a bucket and close.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
The game out.
Speaker 6 (43:13):
When you got three or four of those guys out there,
it's just hard, man, But just say a changing of
the guard. We don't We have no idea what this
next Olympic team is gonna see. So it was fun
for me, man. Today's game was a lot more fun,
as I said earlier in the show, than the Serbia
game was. And we were down seventeen this game just
felt like it meant more legacy wise.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
This is That's why I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
It felt sad because I think that this is probably
the last time we see these guys playing basketball of
some serious consequence.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Yeah, unless unless somehow, unless there's some cataclysmic change along
the way.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Like I think, you know, what, did I say that
one of the you know, they said the devil's biggest
trick is convincing you know people that he's not there.
And Andrew Wiggins's biggest trick being the second best player
in the twenty two NBA Finals behind Steph Curry and
getting him that sneaky last ring.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Lebron got the bubble ring. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
I think Kevin Durant is probably done in the ring
category unless there's some changes in Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
This also shows you how hard the NBA is. It's
hard to win, That's what I say. It's very hard
to win in the NBA. That was something that I
took from this.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
But also just watching these guys together playing meaningful basketball.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
What could be for the last time and for the
first time as a unit.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Right, Like most of the time we're used to watching
these guys go against each other, right, whether it be
the Oklahoma City Kevin Durant going into the Golden State Series,
whether it be with Golden State and Kevin Durant and
Steph Curry joined teams, and then we're going against Lebron
in those back to back finals in which KD hit
Lebron in the eye not once, but twice.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Excuse me, sir.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Kind of like Anthony Edwards said that Steph Curry should
have done to the two defenders in front of him,
said you should have pointed him out one after giving
him that work.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
But that was my take. I was like, man, this
is really the end of an era. This is like,
this is something that you end.
Speaker 4 (45:10):
Up seeing like as guys retire or move on to
the next stage, right, like, and this is what this
is an era of basketball?
Speaker 3 (45:20):
Right?
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Would you consider that you had you know, Chamberlain and
Russell and then you had Jordan Right now, this was
the Steph KD Lebron Like last fifteen years has been
about Steph KD and Lebron right plat out like those
have been.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Is there another guy.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
That you can think of in the last fift twenty
and fifteen years that should be like standing next to them?
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Because I can't really think so.
Speaker 6 (45:50):
I mean, it'd be a stretch to maybe say my
man Afrol Reed because he's got a ring and he's
played in some finals. But I just don't, you know,
and take him in that crew as young men.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
That's what exactly like that. Yeah, it's just, yeah, you're right,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
It's because the other because you talk about Kyrie, you
talk about a d They got them with Brown.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Right.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
At least Kevin Duray had gotten to the finals, you
know what I'm saying, ended up losing that finals, but
gotten to that finals. Right, he had gotten that MVP
award before he ever stepped foot with Steph. Right, he
had already gotten the real MVP. You know what I say,
you're the real MVP.
Speaker 6 (46:25):
Two of those guys I would name were at the
game today, and that would be Mellow and Wade.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
They're part of the part. They're part of that era,
but they're already retired.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
That's the era that they're part of where you their
buddies are citing courtside. One of them call the game
got a whole new job.
Speaker 6 (46:42):
That's how I felt about Dirk, Kobe Garnett and Duncan
that's another down era Para Piers. That era when those
guys all started to retire. You knew Dirk. I believe
Dirk was the last one. And when Dirk retired, that
was that was the end of that era. The game
was changing, like it it had gone into a different flow,
(47:03):
a different direction. Even schematically on the floor, it's a
it was a different game. And then, like you said,
you have the Steph era with Lebron and with kd.
That era's now gone. I will tell you what the
interesting thing is is what's next? Like we already know
what's here, we know what's about to go. But my
thing would be what what's next? What what type of game? Well,
(47:26):
the National Basketball Association product wise put on the floor
for US for the next ten to fifteen years. There's
there's Aunt, you got Tatum and Brown, they already got
a ring ant, don't have one. You got Vic, You
got win Byama. So he's another young stud.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
But even though when you stopped to try to playing
for the United States, I don't think, oh, I'm.
Speaker 6 (47:48):
Talking about just what's next, period, and you're talking about
these three guys. Now you're talking about Team USA. Mark,
We're in the dark. We have no idea what that
team's gonna look like in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
We have zero. I think, really, I think we have
an idea. You could give me five guys that's gonna
be on twenty twenty at the top of your.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
Head, Jason Tatum, Anthony Edwards, Bam met At Bio, Anthony Davis,
and Devin Booker.
Speaker 6 (48:07):
I ain't got Bam. I ain't got Bam and I
ain't got I don't have a d on the next
Olympic team. He'll be like, how old, it doesn't matter,
he's wearing, tearing his body, he gets hurt.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Well, I think he'll be on the next Olympic.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
All right, I got you, But I okay, So even
if he's not Tyreez Haliburton or even de White, like,
you know, the guys who were on the bench will
be the guys playing next. And then you know who'll
be filling in on the bench there, probably Jaba Rent,
maybe Cooper Flagg, Paolo Bancaro.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
You know, like, this ain't going nowhere. I don't think
this is going But is Ben Carrol America? Yeah, okay,
I was born in Washington State, I.
Speaker 6 (48:43):
Know, but I thought one of his parents were from
someone cause we see that, right, we see people's parents
maybe from somewhere born.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
He was born.
Speaker 6 (48:49):
He was born in Washington, Okay, yeah, then get Ban
Carrol in the Pacific Northol.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
That'd be really good to see him.
Speaker 5 (48:54):
He's a stuff too, But no, I'm chat Holmgren.
Speaker 4 (48:57):
You know, like, these are guys that in four years
they're gonna be at six year, seven year NBA bad.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
It'll be their league. Yeah, it'll be.
Speaker 4 (49:05):
It'll be in the Tatum Anthony Edwards category of where
we look at them.
Speaker 6 (49:10):
Even if you grab a guy out of this year's draft,
if you grab one of these, one of these.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
Top guys, it flowed out. James. I'm just sure.
Speaker 4 (49:17):
Hey, listen, if you'll pick play minutes in this Olympics,
if you he Santos, if you, if you if Lebron
has any power with Team USA basket Bob, Bryce, Bryce,
and Bro. I'm just saying the guy is powerful and
he likes to put his hands on everything. I'm not
(49:38):
knocking him. If listen, if it was my son had
to be doing the same thing. I've always stood on
that side of the Lebron brownie argument. But in twenty
twenty eight, if if if Bronni is a serviceable NBA player, right,
he's a shooter, he's a defender.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
If if you think lebron ain't.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Got swag and got pulled for Team USA, he's not
going to get his He's gonna get his son on
Team USA.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Come on, man, So that'd be another you know, I got,
I got an other than hat. I got it.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
I thought Anthony Davis was about two years younger than
he is twenty twenty eight, might be a stretchy because
he's thirty, right a thirty thirty.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
Yeah, he'll be thirty, he'll be thirty four going thirty five.
Next Olympics. Yes, still that's tough.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
But I mean, all right, they know Jared's action Junior
Evan Mobley, step on up, big fellas.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
Wow, let's go.
Speaker 6 (50:25):
I said, listen, you're you're you're putting names out there
that I'm I'm squitting my face up a little bit about.
Because these guys, they're they're good players, but talking about
Olympic and I know four years away, we're four years away.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Canadian marriage. Yeah, you know, I didn't know I was
just naming names.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
He was actively playing for the Cadian No, I did
not know that he actually yeah, he actually was, but
was just saying the Olympics for the Canadian national team.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
Mary, you know you.
Speaker 5 (50:52):
Would have thought, hey, I'm learning some stuff.
Speaker 1 (50:54):
At least I named a player that is true.
Speaker 5 (50:56):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
Yeah, that is true in the right direction.
Speaker 6 (50:59):
And shout out to your your home country for grabbing
himself a dust.
Speaker 5 (51:06):
And listen, your head coach at Royal Ivy.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
I know that guy.
Speaker 6 (51:09):
He played a lot of AAU basketball with my nephew
Kendall because they were playing in the DMV area with
Kevin Durant Adam Montgomery County. So when I said, and
I didn't know he was the head coach until honestly
till the Olympics start, I said, hold on, is that
Royal Ivy from University of Texas that used to ball
with DC Assault in Northern Virginia at Washington DC. Look
at that's what sucks, oh man. I just I think
(51:30):
what they're doing to what lou Al Dang is doing
there is just great stuff. So shout out to your
squad too forgetting the doe. We got the gold medal, though,
I mean you didn't have to do that. Well, you
didn't have to tell the world, and my tongue was out.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Whoa toche Steph Steph Curry style game.
Speaker 5 (51:49):
To gilgis Alexander, Hey, they're not like us.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
You're not like that, Alexander. No, I'm laughing at that. Hey,
because that's Ron.
Speaker 5 (51:58):
That's Ron Burg and stay class in San Diego.
Speaker 9 (52:04):
No.
Speaker 2 (52:04):
I mean, I but we're projecting these guys four years
from now. That's that's what the difference is, right, all right.
So like you figure that Drew Holliday will be thirty eight,
Derek Wahda be thirty four, so those probably guys will
be out of there, and B thirty four Anthony Davis
thirty five.
Speaker 1 (52:18):
I should have I own up on that one. I
was off. But I mean I think there's they're still
knowing D knowing B no ad we were ready to
kick and beat off the team next.
Speaker 9 (52:28):
I know.
Speaker 6 (52:28):
So noe B no A D no uh no, Drew.
Drew might not even be in the NBA. I know,
because he didn't thirty eight years old.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
I know.
Speaker 6 (52:36):
But he doesn't strike me as a guy who's gonna
try to milk his NBA career. He just doesn't strike
me as that guy. I think at thirty Okay, so
thirty So he's thirty four. Now I can see him
at thirty six saying, hey, I'm good, I got a championship,
I got a gold medal. I'm okay. I don't have
to I don't have to play this game until I'm
forty one. I don't have to try to suck the
(52:58):
life out of the basketball. I've done what I needed
to do with it. I'm gonna go do some other thing.
He just doesn't strike me as that guy that would
just that would try to hang on and try to
clink on.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Yeah, But I also think that, like we're over, I
was thinking, like, who's next, Who's gonna be the guy
that's gonna, you know, be taking over this Who's gonna
be the primary scorer?
Speaker 4 (53:17):
And I was thinking he's probably out there right now.
His name is Devin Booker, all right or all right?
Speaker 2 (53:23):
Well, but I mean those two guys going, you know,
all the booker By Booker will be thirty one.
Speaker 1 (53:28):
Yeah, he's still prom Yeah, booker By prompt. So I'll
hang my hat on those two guys.
Speaker 6 (53:32):
Those will be the two the two new stars star
like the vets, the leaders, the guys that have been there,
done it by that time. Hell, who knows, they might
have an NBA Championship to their their credit at that
point and might have an MVP. He's got MVP talent,
he might have an MVP to his name at that point.
I think those will be the next two guys. Listen, man,
(53:53):
the whole Tatum thing. And I'm not saying this is
just trying to make a hot take, which is the
term that you guys all know.
Speaker 1 (53:58):
I hate. I got this really bothering him, I really do.
Speaker 6 (54:02):
And I got him looking at twenty eight saying why
I don't need to I'm not going through what I
went through before.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
Yeah, well, the chances that Jayson Tatum was getting dmpcd's
four years young on the Olympics is none.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
Well, we didn't think it'd be a chance this year.
I mean it happened.
Speaker 2 (54:17):
No, But when you break it down, he's like, Okay,
should I play over Lebron James?
Speaker 1 (54:21):
I play him over Kevin Durant?
Speaker 2 (54:23):
Like no, no, I know, so like but you know
those guys, Willy'll be watching TV just like us, but
not but to not play him.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
I get it. I think Jayson Tatum will be back,
and I think just Tatum would be a big, big,
big time you know, light skin dudes and sense it.
We hold stuff. We're holding this stuff. Let's be honest.
We hold on this stuff.
Speaker 2 (54:40):
Let's be honest though, because we were supposed to have
this and we ended up running over. Do you think
realistically speaking, that Jason Tatum had a major impact on
today's game?
Speaker 3 (54:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (54:49):
When do you play six six and then.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
Raising, raising hell and crying foul? How dare Jayson Tatum
shit the whole game? Oh my god, can't you believe it?
Don't lineup? No, I mean, I tweeted at the time,
Thank goodness Jason Tatum was playing. He's having such an
impact on the game. And then in my threats said, this.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
Is sarcast just in case. Coming up next the hottest
new ticket, the NFL debut. We'll dive into it.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Four NFL MVP prediction.
Speaker 2 (56:03):
It will be Patrick Mahomes winning this award and his
Chiefs will become the first team in generations the three.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
Peat as super Bowl champions. Sorry, winer fan, first team
with generations? First team ever? No? Uh, your favorite show
three in a row?
Speaker 2 (56:22):
I think No, No, I don't think first team ever.
I just think first team in Did the Steelers do
three in a row?
Speaker 9 (56:28):
No?
Speaker 2 (56:29):
Dallas got three or four? Or excuse me, yeah that
was got three or four. The Niners got a couple
of back to backs. I think, Man, I can't believe
that's flipping this. I believe, I think, I think it
actually exactly.
Speaker 1 (56:41):
I just quit Google. I was right. Yeah, no team
has three peated in the Super Bowl era. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:47):
The Green Bay Packers win the NFL Championship in nineteen
sixty five and then Super Bowl one and Super Bowl two.
But since then nineteen sixty seven, Yeah, when the Watsons
went to Birmingham.
Speaker 4 (57:00):
That book.
Speaker 1 (57:00):
Yeah Yeah.
Speaker 6 (57:02):
Talking about NFL championships, I think there's been a few
teams that have done it, like three or four because
the Giants, because three in a row. Though I know saying,
but I'm talking about just not Super Bowl, just the
NFL championships.
Speaker 1 (57:14):
I think I think I might have been done before.
But you right, super Bowl. Uh, you got Mahmes win MVP.
That's what Hammer and hankshet. No, No, he's past that.
I think. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
No, oh no, I don't think he's passed going for that.
Mahomes is.
Speaker 6 (57:27):
I think I think Mahomes is a guy that's hey,
let's you know, let's get to our ten, let's get
to our twelve eleven wins, and let's just get into
the postseason. Worry about super Bowls. I'm not worried about
I really do. I feel like he's I'm not worried
about MVPs like he wants to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (57:43):
I'm not saying that he is worried about MVPs, but
I'm not he's not done winning MVP awards.
Speaker 1 (57:48):
You think, Okay, if I had to take the over,
I'd say, if it was set at two.
Speaker 2 (57:53):
And a half for more MVPs for Pastor Mahomes, I
take the over in his career, I'm taking the over
maybe one.
Speaker 1 (58:00):
I might give you maybe one more.
Speaker 6 (58:02):
But you got CJ coming, Joe Burrow, come in, Jordan Love,
Jalen Hurts has been a finalist, and Lamar can win.
The thirty's already got to I just to me, it
just it feels like it. I'm not saying he's not
an MVP caliber player, but I just think he's a
kind of guy that has his eye in him. And
Andy Reid and the rest of Big Red there and Arrowhead,
(58:23):
they just have their eyes like it's Super Bowl or bust.
We're not worried about this individual stuff. We're not worried
about MVPs. You know, Martin, these guys are human beings.
Sometimes they go for the MVP. They won to want
to go win.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
I just don't I hear you.
Speaker 2 (58:36):
But like Tom Brady want an MVP of forty, Aaron
Rodgers won an MVP of thirty eight. Ish is Aaron
Rodgers forty now, so thirty seven, and they won before
that at thirty six.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Aaron Rodgers may want win no more rings, so maybe
he needed them MVPCE.
Speaker 2 (58:50):
The point remains the idea that a guy who hasn't
hit thirty yet, Patrick Mahomes, who's been at the top
of the league for the last four years, five years,
Mahomes has been the top a top the AFC at minimum,
right I did, It's like, it's all right, all right, hammern.
Speaker 1 (59:10):
Hat, I'm with you doing that Super Bowl. I'm not
going against them.
Speaker 6 (59:14):
I've said it before here on Martin vj Any Show,
Off field In on any other podcast I've been a
guest on. I am not taking anybody else until somebody
proves to me, and I hate to say it in
a minute, but until somebody proves to me that somebody
can consistently take out this team, this juggernaut called the
Kansas City Chiefs, I will not bet against them.
Speaker 5 (59:35):
I will not pick against them. When it comes to
the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (59:37):
Somebody's gonna have to beat them in January for me
to believe it could consistently be done. We've seen Burrow
do it, and we've seen Tom Brady do it in
the Super Bowl. But other than that, in the last
four or five years, they are the only two quarterbacks
that can say that, can look at Pat Mahomes sitting
across the table and say, yo, bro, I got you.
I got you on one of them games. I got
you on one of them conference championship games. And Tom
(59:58):
Brady beat them straight up in the Super Bowl. So
and Brady beat him in Arrowhead in an AFC championship game.
So there was only two guys. Man, So somebody else doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Tony Calvin, says Captain Curry, displaying he's the goat raining
it from anywhere, snatching.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
That gold from France.
Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
He really, I mean not that the game, the game,
like I can't remember a time where France led in
the second half of note. But as that game closer
and closer and closer, Steph Curry was like, get the
hell away from us. Yes, you are going to fly
by me as I pumped bake and I take one
(01:00:37):
dribble and shoot a three point layup because those were
layups for him for him, And then he said, you
want to throw two at me?
Speaker 9 (01:00:45):
You know?
Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
You know what I love the most about it, though,
the possession before the possession, before the one that he
had that grenade. Remember, he's one on one trying to
get by, can't get by, kicks it to Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Kevin Durant was like, why are you passing at right back? Steff? Okay?
And then Steph's like, no, man, I'm kind of gassed.
Shoot let me. Stephan's like no, Like, look, I'm tired.
You do something. Durant swings it. Booker drives the baseline
and all of a.
Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
Sudden, it's the entire French team is just like, wait,
where the hell did Steph Curry go?
Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
He's standing at the top of the key. It will
always amaze me how open he can get out. It
always amaze me. It's one of the most beautiful things
in sport. He's the best ability to move without the ball,
his ability to have defenders with the oh no, oh no, yeah,
oh no, What has happened?
Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
I was you were with him for the twenty seconds
of the twenty four on the occlock. Those four seconds
is all he needs. Uh vja I gotta give you
a round of a falls congratulations what I do? It
is nine thirty nine nine on the East Coast, we've
been doing this show now for about an hour and
a half.
Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
Guys, can you guys believe this? That ja I mean,
another round of appause is almost desertated.
Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Let them hear it again, Let them hear it again.
I think I might know where he's going.
Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
I have not had one singular mention of Lebron James
getting dunked on today. As I was about point, actually,
as I was about the clown their group picture, he
had to make sure he sat in the middle on
the floor and it was the center of the picture
when they all had their But I just wasn't in
their mouth.
Speaker 4 (01:02:27):
I would have thought the standale comedian would have been like,
look the second time Lebron was sitting on the floor
to nah nah.
Speaker 6 (01:02:34):
I made it a point to lay off that because
I think it's just better to talk about what Curry.
Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
What Curry did?
Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
I think about what Curry and the dunk on the
dunk on it could have been a charge. And that's
just me being a real dude watching basketball.
Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
If you go and watch, go to the go to
Bleacher Report originally had this initially had this.
Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Go click on their u X page and look at
the two side by sides the one that you can
see Lebron's face. Zoom in on Lebron's face. He has
a look of aw man.
Speaker 11 (01:03:07):
I know, I know what he's talking about. I did
some research on that too. The Laker fan is saying Lebron,
Lebron is like he got it. You can see Lebron
seeing himself get dunked on. It was beautiful and I like.
Speaker 9 (01:03:21):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (01:03:22):
The French player did the whole like Lebron little flex
after like O two.
Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
I was like, I tell you what, the more and
more he does that, the more and more I like it.
I like I that is one of the best celebrations
in sports.
Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
Oh, definitely, because.
Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
It's understated, but it's still like, nah, it's because my
shoulders look like they have built in shoulder pads, so
I will shrug you off of me because I am
forty years old but built like a house.
Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
Also, I just like that.
Speaker 11 (01:03:49):
People if you know you're gonna dunk on someone and
you do their signature, like, you know, celebration against him.
I think that's just poetic poetry in the motion.
Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Well, I give you a history lesson on that. The
very first person to ever really do that was Michael
Jordan Duncan on de Kimbi Mutombo after Matumbo told him
at All Star weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Michael, you never get to me. You never got to me.
You didn't get to me. Michael might a d I
never got you.
Speaker 6 (01:04:13):
And about a week later, Bulls at the Hawks baseline
dunk and looked right at him, and and and as
he's backing up, as he's back pedaling, and he added
Matumbo to the list.
Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
We've got some early reports from some early debuts. But first.
Speaker 4 (01:04:31):
Let's kick it over to Chris Purfet, who's making what
is second or third debut? Second, you don't really have
a second debut. I'll just say second time up.
Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Doing up there.
Speaker 10 (01:04:40):
It's it's in the waking hours at least for most
people are awake this time around. There actually into the
light of semi light of day.
Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
They trust you to do it when people are up. Huh.
Speaker 10 (01:04:50):
I don't know if trust has anything to do.
Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
Was the scheduling Staffoo. There's a lot of people that
take off right before football season.
Speaker 10 (01:04:58):
Fans see how much trust they have before too long.
I seem to have a habit of just making messes
of things. Speaking of actually not the opposite of a mess.
Caleb Williams four for seven ninety five yards in his
debut with the Chicago Bears, a very ballyhooed man best
play coming as he escapes pressure. He found Deandres for
a forty two yard pass. Currently going on right now,
(01:05:22):
we have the Chiefs and the Jaguars in preseason action.
Jacksonville up twenty three to ten. Would you believe that
Kansas Hey has a safety in this game, a safety
and a precias safety in the preseason game. There was
such a thing, yep, But hey, you know we got
rookie you from UCLA. Carson still had a touchdown in
this game. New Orleans at Arizona six zero at halftime.
(01:05:45):
New Orleans up. Marvin Harrison Junior played all of three
snaps not targeted in this game. So we wait to
see the big man from Ohio State to see what
he can do on the field. Some injury news happen here.
Green Bay at Cleveland Packers saw rookie running back Marshawn
Lloyd leave the game with an injury. Dolphins announced earlier
today that they lost backup offensive lineess Keon Smith to
(01:06:08):
cl to tear just brutal to happen.
Speaker 6 (01:06:10):
This time of year, especially when you're trying to restructure
your offensive line. Absolutely, especially when you're trying to restructure
your offensive line.
Speaker 10 (01:06:17):
But moving over to the Olympics, the story we've all
been talking about here ninety eight eighty seven. The final
score team USA taking home gold in men's basketball for
the fifth straight Olympics. Steph Curry twenty four points eight
of twelve from three, putting the crowd to sleep on
that final one, which was just a sky What can
(01:06:39):
I how can I use the word schmid?
Speaker 9 (01:06:40):
It was?
Speaker 10 (01:06:40):
It was to the heavens as it came down. Both
American men and women took home gold in the four
by four hundred medal relay. Quincy Wilson on the men's
side of things, actually was showed on X him wearing
his medal and said, dang, I really have to go
back to school in two and a half weeks. He's
got classes already. Current Olympic medal count as we go
(01:07:02):
into the final day here, USA with thirty eight gold
medals one hundred and twenty two total, trail China by
only one gold medal at thirty nine. There was a
chance earlier at the high jump if American Shane McEwan
shelby mechwan, excuse me, could have split gold with hashmiir
curR of New Zealand, but decided to have a jump
(01:07:24):
off instead and he failed in all three. He takes
home silver.
Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
That's why you take That's why you take the gold.
Speaker 10 (01:07:30):
That's what happened in twenty twenty and an Italian guy
and I know some people say, what that.
Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Jump it was? It was a high. It was a high.
Acolutely know that day and we talked about it.
Speaker 10 (01:07:40):
Yeah, Olympics had out a video of the of the
flashback and they just kind of looked at each other.
It's like, why not, We'll take gold and just topped
each other. Yep, Sportsmanship final. But let's talk about the
real Olympic event that happened here breaking break dancing as
Canadian Phil Wizard Phil Kim of Canada took home gold.
Speaker 6 (01:08:01):
As the most unseasoned dancing I've ever seen him. And
that is that is raisings in the potato salad at
the family cookout.
Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
That is what do they do. That's let me tell
you something. I'm being serious that I'm not joking.
Speaker 6 (01:08:11):
That's disrespectful to the actual like culture of break dancing
that started in the late seventies early eighties that was
integrated in with RAT before RAT was called hip hop.
Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
B boy, you know what I'm saying like this right here,
I know what there's absolutely not.
Speaker 10 (01:08:27):
As the Australian women who tried to do what was
it the Kangaroo dance?
Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
Oh god? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (01:08:31):
But no, I know it's split there.
Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
I know.
Speaker 10 (01:08:33):
I saw iced Ts apparently loves it. Snoop Dogg loves it.
He was there for the whole thing, so split split
opinions on it and unfortunately will not become or fortunately
will not be coming back in twenty twenty eight a
most fuless of all places.
Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
Please good good, oh good? And I want to hear
about Snoop getting being there.
Speaker 6 (01:08:50):
He gets five hundred k or a parents, So I'm
showing up to everything too that I don't care about.
Speaker 10 (01:08:55):
USA soccer took women's soccer took home gold in Paris,
Mery Swan's an early second half goal being the decider there,
overcoming Brazil one nil. Sunday nine thirty am, Eastern USA
women basketball will be playing for gold again against France.
That's actually the last Olympic event before the closing ceremonies
(01:09:19):
Sunday tends to be a little rough for the Olympics
tends to be a little threadbare. And then yeah, and
at the Windom Championship. Updates you here. Max Kucher is
your leader after the second round under twelve shot sixty four,
but Max Greezerman shot sixty on that day and Dodgers
with an early lead over the Pirates. Paul Skeins on
(01:09:41):

and Mariners. Here are we going at it here? Momentarily

All right, let's go It's not like Cookie Monster, that's
who they say.
Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
What humble sounds like. Let's go rapid fire here VJ.
Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
Allright.
Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
Caleb Williams JJ McCarthy, two rookies in the NFC North
both got their first and NFL action earlier today.
Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Dealer's choice, you pick on who you saw first and
what you did see.
Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (01:10:53):
JJ McCarthy, Of course, my guy. I just saw a
guy that I think is going to be just fine
in this league along with Caleb. So can I split?
Can I take the cowards way out on this one
right here? Because I am I'm taking, all right, Well,
I'm not asking, I'm I'm taking. I'm taking. I'm taking
the cowards way out. I thought they both I thought
they both played well. It looked good, Kleeb. You could tell.
You can see his movement, his ability to get away
(01:11:15):
from the rush, get away from pressure. He's gonna be
able to do just well at that. JJ has that too,
but also a guy in the pocket. As I'm watching
one of his deep throws for touchdown right now earlier
in the game, where he just laces a deep ball
up the sideline drops it perfectly over to defenders into
the brad basket of a streaking receiver, and that's what
you want your guy to do. Yeah, interception on the
(01:11:36):
third pass. But then they keep a man, plays a
little longer, throws two touchdown passes. Let me get a
little more eyes on it as it goes on. I
think both these guys are gonna be fine. I don't
think either one's gonna be horrible. I just think that
JJ is set up a little better because of the
weapons and the and the chemistry around him. The Bears
are bringing in a bunch of new pieces and good pieces.
JJ's coming into all the pieces that have already been there.
Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
Well, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
JJ is also not currently on the field, which Kayler
Williams is currently QB one of the depth charts.
Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
So we'll see how about that set up and how
well that it goes.
Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
But right now, coming up next to go ahead and
set up big Pat for a game of who you got? Hey, Hey,
you better brought your gold medal game today, park, Baby,
you better brought your gold medal game.
Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
That's all I got to say. We'll be right back, Martin.

spectacular game and salute to USA.

On another as he.
Speaker 6 (01:13:11):
Posted the video of them raising the three flags of first, second,
and third.
Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
Speaking of the game within the game, it's now time
to play who you Got with big pack.
Speaker 11 (01:13:23):
Oh yeah, let's go, all right, everybody, It's time for
these sensations sweeping the nation.
Speaker 5 (01:13:33):
It's time for our very own who you Got? And
with the woo, Martin VJ.
Speaker 11 (01:13:40):
It's been a couple of weeks since we've been doing
who You Got, but we are back and better than ever.
And guys, what has been minus Olympics stuff going on?
What's been the major thing not named Olympics going on?
That's on our TVs right now?
Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Football football, which means what's the theme today? Everybody?
Speaker 11 (01:13:55):
Football is the theme with that. So with that said,
we're going the football team, guys. And with that said,
I'm gonna hit us up with a couple of facts here,
and you guys give me on the who you Got?
So let's start off with hit number one. This man
is a former fourth round pick. He is also a
former All rookie. He made All Rookie for when he
(01:14:17):
was a rookie and made second team All Pro once
in his career. And I'm actually gonna hit you with
a fun fact early, guys, just for little funds of these,
he actually made first team All State in basketball before
he inevitably went and moved over to football. So with
that said, Martin VJ, who you Got?
Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
I mean this qualifies I feel like for so many
different people.
Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
I'm aware that he was going to say, this is
the first is the worst first round of the guess
you've ever given.
Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
Let it cook. Let it cook. There's reasons. Let it cook.
Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
He's a fourth rown pick.
Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
He was on the All Rookie team, second team AP
All Pro, once first team All Basketball.
Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
All right, I got one, go for it. I got
a lugarious need.
Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
No, but I no.
Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
I like that. Good poll, VJ.
Speaker 5 (01:15:05):
What you got for us?
Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Hmmm? All rook fourth round pick, second team.
Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
All Pro, All State in B ball, b ball? What
was good in football? Because he made to the NFL. Yes,
sir oh Man, Well, Antonio Gates. I know that's not no,
but I also love the pole on that. All right,
we'll go into you was a sorry guess, sorry guess.
I love Antonio Gates.
Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
I got you.
Speaker 5 (01:15:31):
Let's go into all right.
Speaker 11 (01:15:33):
I'm not going to give you the college yet, but
I will give you the division they are currently in
right now. College he played for is in the A
C C, where he actually got a scholarship as a
quarterback q B. And if you need one more guess,
just for funzies, I actually have another fun fact. We
(01:15:55):
got three all overall today, just because I'm having fun.
He was actually named one of the fifteen Best Dressed
Players in the NFL by a Squire magazine back in
his career.
Speaker 5 (01:16:06):
It's Esquire, but Esquire whatever, that's so rude.
Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
ACC fifteen best second Team, All Pro, fourth throw pick,
All State ACC as a Q.
Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
And see, here's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
You can guarantee that this guy he got a college
to play quarterback, but you can guarantee that he did
not play quarterback. Otherwise he wouldn't have said that exactly.
And what fourth rownd pick is going to be on
the rookie team?
Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
This is a.
Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
Sels like a receiver, offensive wide receiver or running back,
tight end. It's an offensive skill position player for sure.
So I got that. I got that part of it
down all right.
Speaker 6 (01:16:49):
But it's not a dope tight end because all those
guys are more than second team AP you feel me.
Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
So it's not going to be a dope tight end.
It's got to be like a do you need the
do you need the call? Dallas Clark? No, because who
knows who?
Speaker 3 (01:17:04):
You know? What?
Speaker 5 (01:17:06):
Fine?
Speaker 11 (01:17:06):
Fine, I'll throw you bone because you know I want
to live a little dangerously today. Louisville. He went to Louisville,
Louisville Carrie Road, I got it.
Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
That was easy to me. He'd beat me too. I'm like, oh,
he went with the guy here.
Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
And the reason why I thought that is because we
had Olden poly on the couple yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
That's why, exactly. Yeah. The reason I thought this, honestly,
the only reason I thought this why because of course
carry Rose was the fifteenth best dress.
Speaker 11 (01:17:44):
I was literally telling Mary like an hour ago, I'm like, hey,
remember the old and Polyines thing, like I wonder see,
I know it, I know it.
Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
He was on yesterday.
Speaker 5 (01:17:52):
I wish you guys didn't get that he was on yet, Martin,
I had him while a couple of why I was going,
I'm like, let me cook. I don't even care if
I got it wrong. It's want to see if I
can you even.
Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
Feel excited about that win for us BRO because you
threw it out before I did. But see, I'm not
like the rest of everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
I want to win the gold medal. No, he's disappointed
it too early.
Speaker 11 (01:18:12):
But I'm over here half because I'm like, he might
be just a little mad because he knows the context
of me trying to see if I can get away
with like an olden Paulinie like looking with him.
Speaker 2 (01:18:21):
I tell you what, though, if you had started out
with this guy, went to Louisville and a quarterback scholarship
and then giving out the rest of it, huh.
Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
I don't think I would have got it, that's fair.
I really don't. I don't know if I would have
got it in backwards orders.
Speaker 5 (01:18:33):
It's about it's about it.
Speaker 11 (01:18:34):
It's like when you're eating cereal, you're gonna put it
with cereal, then milk or milking, and cereal of course.
Speaker 5 (01:18:39):
Literally cereal, and then of course I'll hold on hold
wind milk.
Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
In a bowl.
Speaker 9 (01:18:46):
What weird.
Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
Because apparently in Africa they'll put the milk first, heat
it up and then put the cereal.
Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Okay, yeah, see, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
I want you to heat the milk up as something else,
and then so because all your cereals, I was using.
Speaker 5 (01:19:02):
It as an example, I don't do that.
Speaker 1 (01:19:04):
Then I don't do that either. Listen.
Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
I'm the pizza roller, not the milk ceial guy.
Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
And we don't know what you do anymore.
Speaker 5 (01:19:10):
Listen, listen, I'm the pizza roller, but the cereal. No,
I do cereal. The milk I got you.
Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
That's bad.
Speaker 2 (01:19:16):
That's not getting in the tub and then turning the
water on that's backwards his head and they can fill
up around your toes. Let it fill upright and then
and then pour missed the bubbles on your body and
then let the water ride like what oh my, oh,
my goodness, gracious mood.
Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
The way you guys eat sometimes it is just Martin.
Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
Martin eats Cheetos in oreoles together that Franko sing your discuss.
Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
First of all, Jail.
Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
The subject of conversation was what's the weirdest food combination
that you make? And I'll have you know that Jack
Hole right here next to me talks about how he
eats sour.
Speaker 4 (01:20:00):
Cream stream cheese spread on garlic bagels with chicken salad.
Speaker 5 (01:20:04):
Own, it's strawberry cream cheese.
Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
That's what.
Speaker 6 (01:20:07):
A garlic onion bagel with strawberry cream cheese and chicken salad.
Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
Oh, those are all things that by themselves you have
to wonder if you really want it. But when you
combine them all together, the only place that goes is
to the trash can.
Speaker 1 (01:20:20):
Right, That's gotta be the case. Got buds baby coming home? Next?
Speaker 4 (01:20:28):
Who benefits the most in the NBA from the gold
We see some one something after like this, after every Olympics.
Who's gonna be the benefit this time?
Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
Martin Wis's Vija Husky broadcasting live from the tirec dot
com tire iraq dot com. We'll help you get there
with the unmaxed election fast for shippy feriod has a
protection at over ten thousand. Recommended it as dollars tire
rack dot com the way tire buying shoe would be.
And now you know, I know Chris is in his
second updates shift ever, so don't worry. I got you,
(01:21:00):
Caleb Will Caleb I called Caleb w Special Rattler rather
rushing touchdown to put the Saints up.
Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
I'm just joking with you.
Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
I'm just watching this behind the scenes, excited for the future.
I can't even get his name out.
Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 10 (01:21:14):
Tell you what, mate, Spencer Rattler updates here.
Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
He should have seen and Martin's been on him since
he's out there daily. He's been on him since that. Listen.
I've never knocked there. I like the kid.
Speaker 10 (01:21:24):
He was a very sneaky pick for the Saints. I
think we all talked about it around draft time, like
that was a guy who after Oklahoma just kind of
got all manner of hell because of that. QB one
show should be very interesting to see how he develops.
Speaker 6 (01:21:37):
And then Caleb Williams comes along and he gets benched,
and that you know he's got a transfer to South
Caroline after that, you know, it.
Speaker 1 (01:21:43):
Got messed with a kid psyche. But think about it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
He got benched by the guy who eventually went on
to be the best player in college football, evidenced by
the trophy he received. Then was up there again right
then was the number one overall pick. Like, it's not
like you got bench for like Derek White.
Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
I'm just choking.
Speaker 6 (01:22:07):
And Mike White for the Dolphins, you know what I'm saying, Like, no,
it's it's it's good to see that. You know, he
mentally shook and fought out it up because we've seen
players touted highly going to college and then it.
Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
Not work out for them, and it just it's snowballs
from there. They never rebound, They never rebound mentally from it.
Are physical in some aspects sometimes. So I'm listen, I'm
very interested to see what he's gonna look like. We
know his Cars team right now, but they went and
drafted the future and Rattler's supposed to be the guy.
So coming up next after the car, we'll see. So VJ,
(01:22:45):
what up coming up next after car?
Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Well that I bring you down by mentioning him.
Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
No, you can't bring me down because we want to
go medal today. But I want to know who did
you think? Because I remember I said this last year
in the Feeble World Cup, I said, everybody's talking.
Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
About Austin Reeves, Offston Reeves, Austin Reeves, who you need
to be looking at is Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
I was like, that's going to be the guy who
comes out of the World Cup competition and takes his
game to a new level, which he did, advancing to
the furthest he has in the playoffs the Western Conference finals.
Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
So VJ, my question to you this is a hard one.
Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
Well, lucky for you, you have about as much time
as I take to read the question to think about it.
Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
Which NBA player Which one of these superstars?
Speaker 7 (01:23:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
Because when they come back into the NBA, the vast
majority of the players on the team will be the
best players on their NBA team. Right, This whole you know,
fitting in your role is over with, right. Tyre's alib
I have a feely tyres. Tylerberton will get a DMPCD
again for the rest of his life. Neither will Jason Tatum.
But which NBA star takes a step after the Olympics.
(01:24:00):
You don't think I'm crazy, no, because if you say
what I think, You're gonna shay up and be like,
you know what, that was a really good answer.
Speaker 1 (01:24:05):
You don't think I'm crazy. You guys gonna think I'm
crazy on this one. Okay, what is this?
Speaker 6 (01:24:09):
It's the guy who closed the game out today. It's
Steph Curry. I don't it's Steph Curry. You guys gonna
think I'm crazy. It'steph Curry. But let me let me
just let me pay this picture for you. Okay, Steph
Curry last few years, other than the Boston Championship year,
last few years, it's been tough for him, right, and
Draymond has, you know, decided that he was gonna sit
on this podcast and actually take shots at his own
(01:24:31):
coach and the rotations and things of that nature. And
I think what Steph did today was to show people that,
oh yeah, when we get back, I'm like, I'm still
that guy. I'm still the guy who can go out
here and just light up thirty five forty like it's nothing.
Lebron is a paint player now he is Lebrono get
(01:24:54):
hot from the perimeter from time to time.
Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
He is not a consistent jump shooter. Steph is still
a consistent jump shooter. Still runs well, but at the ball.
Still has good young legs, not young ladies, but still
has younger legs. And I can look at her as
oldest arrest of them, thirty six years old. Well, no,
well thirty six isn't thirty nine going on forty? Just
just let me land younger, let me land. I'm looking
down this list here, holiday no Aunt Edwards.
Speaker 6 (01:25:20):
I think, like I said, nine minutes today, that's what
he played today in the gold medal game, nine minutes.
When he goes back, I think will kind of expect
him to be what he was kind of last year.
But there's some flux in Minnesota right now, so we
don't know what Minnesota is gonna be. Anthony Davis, well,
we know what he is is gonna be second fiddle
to Lebron bam Adebayo. Now we know Jimmy Buckets is
(01:25:41):
the guy down there. Tatum already has a championship. And
that's not to say Curry Curr's got four him. I
know that, But as I'm just looking down this list,
as far as the way guys played, as far as
the way this tournament shaped up, as far as the
way it closed off the day, If the question is
who benefits most in the NBA of these guys going
back into the NBA season, it's got to be Steph
(01:26:03):
Curry that that would That would be my answer.
Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
I'm curious to see who you would say. I don't
got it being embiid Lebron. We know what Lebron is.
Speaker 4 (01:26:13):
We know it's the interesting case for Embid quickly, not
that I don't think it. I do not think it
will be him. Okay, but this is the first time
that I can think of in his career that he's
been surrounded by winners or really won anything of that.
Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, no, you're right.
Speaker 4 (01:26:29):
Didn't win in college. When he got to the NBA,
they were actively losing. Yep, they were they were taking
right yep.
Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
And has an advanced past the second round of the playoffs.
This is the first time he was in a championship
game of any sort. The Kawhi shot on the rim
against that was second round. I thought, yeah, I thought
it was conference I thought it was conference finals. I
always feel I always feel like in b was like
that was the one year he's right on the cusp.
Maybe it was second round a while ago. I can't remember,
no better than anybody else.
Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
But no, you're right about him.
Speaker 9 (01:26:57):
Bid.
Speaker 6 (01:26:58):
This was the first time he would surrounded by winner,
so he would be he'd be higher on my list
than Nope, But I don't use eleven minutes today, oh
for one from the field. No, man, I'm gonna go
with Steph because I think Steph can carry this, and
I'll preface him by saying it like this, Martin, He's
the guy I think can carry what he just did
(01:27:18):
and back into the NBA and his team needs it
most because remember, Clay's not there no more. I'm gonna
call him play. I'm gonna call him play is in
Dallas now, So Steph really can't. I don't want to
say afford a drop off because I don't think he'll
have one. But if there's anybody that can take Hey,
you just saw it. I just did against the World
(01:27:39):
in the gold medal game. I just closed them out.
It's time to now go do it. It kind of
reminds me like Kobe and the redeem Team, right, Kobe
closed out Spain and then took that to the Lakers
and you blink and they're in three straight finals. Now,
I don't think that that's what the ghost they were
to do, because there's an age different thing in there.
Speaker 1 (01:27:57):
But for this.
Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
Specific question, who benefits the most of the NBA from
Team USA? Just the way he played the last two
games and closed his tournament out and taking that back
to a team that's lost his running mate and now
probably has got to do a little more even though
they got some younger pieces there. You see the story
Kamingo once a two twenty or two thirty next contract,
Like it's a lot going on there.
Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
So Steph, Steph's my answer some sticking with it. Who
you got I thought?
Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
See My initial thought was I thought, I thought you
were gonna really throw a curveball there? Uh, Steph, I mean,
Steph can't. I don't know what next level Steph can
get to. I don't, like I said, I think there's
one more for Steph. I think he's got one more
level in the markin I did.
Speaker 1 (01:28:35):
We shall see I'm not. I wouldn't bet on it.
Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
But this is what I was thinking as we went
through this, as you went through that steph soliloquy, the answer,
the answer is Victor Winbin Yama. You said from team USA,
though I would have said Vince I know, but I
was saying. But I realized as I asked the question, Oh,
it's not fair. I'm not trying.
Speaker 4 (01:28:58):
I wasn't trying to Oki though, granted, but as question
who benefits the most in the NBA from team USA,
I'm saying now I didn't say from team USA, beating
that ass on what it is from.
Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
The Basketball Olympics. It's Victor Win. It's Victor absolutely. But
I was going on, yeah, I was, I'm not trying
sand Beger.
Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
It came to me as you were talking, Victor Winvin
Yama is likely the answer here. I think Anthony Edwards
has a good shot because he already had reached that
pinnacle of the Western Conference final as at twenty three
years old, just turned twenty three recently. Now again a
guy who I mean, Rudy Gobert, you know, had never
won anything of note, never won anything of note.
Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
So like we talked about guys surrounded by winners, Anthony
Edwards was not also like the kind of the same
kind of concept as embiid right when he's moving through this,
and he's also knows what it feels like to get
to that conference final and run out of gas, right,
So now he sees that. So now he's watched how
Lebron practices, watches how KD practices, and see these guys
going full speed all day every day, and I wonder
(01:30:06):
how much that influences him. But when we saw Victor
webbin Yama leaving the floor in tears after being consoled
by Kevin Durant, my two thoughts. First of all, my.
Speaker 4 (01:30:18):
God, how much taller is Victor Winbinyama that Kevin Durant,
who is the tallest person on Team USA.
Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
Right when you look at the picture, kd's head is
the tallest one. You know, he ain't got no hair
to boost it. So KT's head was the tallest one.
And did you see him Victor webbin Yama.
Speaker 4 (01:30:36):
Is basically putting his hand on top of KT's head
like I can't hear you, hold on, let me come
down there, right. But then when he was walking off
at Floort in tears. I was like, damn, all right,
he's gonna remember this. He's gonna remember this.
Speaker 6 (01:30:51):
Bran will win a gold medal at some point in
the next two Olympics. Remember Argentina stole one. Argentina got
in there when they had Manu in that crew man.
They got in there, gold medal.
Speaker 1 (01:31:01):
Out of out of the world as far as it goes.
Speaker 6 (01:31:03):
But yeah, if the is the Olympics, they'll find Well,
the way Tony Parker, the way Tony Parker is funneling
them into the league right now, the way he's running
that that program out there in France, they'll find one.
If there's one Frenchman that I can trust to find
a French point guard, it's Tony Parker. But if you're
asking over the whole Olympics, absolutely it's Victor winbin Yama.
(01:31:25):
It's it's nobody else. Like these other guys are solidified.
These other guys, like I said lebron ad durrant step,
I just took step because the question said team USA
and coming off of the Serbia game, coming off the
game becaus they against France.
Speaker 1 (01:31:39):
Yeah, that's the guy. I'll go with that.
Speaker 6 (01:31:40):
They can take that back to uh Golden State. Some
of these other guys got so many questions on their
team other than Tatum. Right, we know the Celtics are
defending champions and white with the Celtics defending champion like there,
there's they got guys that are gonna be solidified and
plugged already in uh to the squad and be's gotta
with a new cast of characters. Canra Durant's got to
(01:32:02):
play with a new cast of characters. We already know
what the Lakers are with Ad and lebron So and
then of course look at the heat. What's really going
on there? Are they gonna try to move off with
Jimmy Butler? Are Jimmy Butler had satisfied there? You know
they tried to get Dame that didn't work. So yeah,
if it's for all of Olympics, is Victor winbin Yama?
(01:32:22):
You look at his time today on the court, thirty
minutes eleven and nineteen three or eight from the three
point land seven boards to go along with his twenty
six points. I mean the guy did he didn't do
much to stop him and the shots he missed they're
good shots. Like he didn't there's there's not a guy
in the league that could contest his jumper. There's not
a player in basketball.
Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
That could contest his Maybe bowl bo as far as
his length and stuff is lymten heights, but front them first.
Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
Yeah, exactly, that's the thing too.
Speaker 6 (01:32:51):
So yes, if you're talking from the entire tournament, give
me victor Winbinyama also a quick cyber on or some
of these other countries I was. I thought it was
very underwhelming the way some of these other countries and
their and their NBA stars play. Canada's one that comes
to mind.
Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
Greece.
Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
Greece was really disappointing. Greece was actually really really disappointing.
Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
I thought that and nobody else I thought they would have.
Speaker 6 (01:33:17):
But I'm thinking Jannice cauld at least carry you to
the I think Janice is good enough to get you
at least to the And we say anybody else, I don't.
They don't have any others of like major NBA stars.
They have some good international players, but I thought Jannics
can get them to the final four. You got a
guy that good, former MVP, two time Defensive Player of
the Year, NBA champion.
Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
I thought he was good enough to carry him a
little further than he did. That's all.
Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
Yeah, I wasn't surprised to see them go early. When
you don't have guard playing, you don't have bigs, I
don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:33:46):
What you card to compete and trying to almost beat
frans too like it's been. It was a weird basketball
turn Japan. Excuse me, thank you? Trying to did not qualify?
Speaker 1 (01:33:57):
Yeah, my bad, My bad, My bad, My bad. Yao,
fans out there, don't get mad. Don't get mad at me,
y'all ming fans, you know, Okay, So just quickly it's
two seconds.
Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
Uh, Mario was asking me who I thought was the
most popular like basketball players of all time? Where does
y'all ming rank in terms of the most popular basketball
players of all time? Because of me, it's got to
be in the top five popular, not a but not buility,
No popular, He's definitely probably. You know what, that's a
hard one because top four because if you're adding if
(01:34:30):
you're adding his home country, if you're adding those votes
in that that that that that that.
Speaker 4 (01:34:35):
Tends to balance got to be billions over billion people
in China, So they're not gonna pick anybody else.
Speaker 1 (01:34:42):
When she asked me.
Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
I said, Michael Jordan, Lebron, James, and y'all ming Michael
Jordan over Kobe. Of the most three most popular basketball players,
if they walked in the room right now, who's getting
immediately recognized for exactly who they are? I think those
three guys are probably the most RECOGNI things shack. I
think I would put Shack over. Yeah, I mean worldwide.
(01:35:03):
But once again, China has over a billion people. So
if China is allowed to vote, of course it's gonna
it's gonna dwarf.
Speaker 6 (01:35:10):
Yeah, it's gonna dwarf the no. I don't have y'all
mean that hot no, I could give me, give me
Jordan's shack, probably Lebron because of Jordan's shack Lebron or
you can interchange like Kobe if you wanted to there,
But those to me, would be as far as walking
the room recognizable. Everybody shacks on thirty commercials.
Speaker 5 (01:35:30):
Dennis Rodman is literally oh yeah, Dennis Rodman for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:35:35):
I wonder how many people recognize Dennis rob Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:35:38):
That's internationally. He's the ambassador for North Korea.
Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
I mean, just so you know, that's not it's not
a great thing. Vacation, not exactly, but it was so
much bigger right of your career.
Speaker 4 (01:36:02):
Guys, if Kim Jones, Kim Jong ill, if he knows
who Dennis Rodman is, like come on, I mean, but
Kim Jong un.
Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
Now, but.
Speaker 1 (01:36:13):
He knows who the story is. He watched the bulls.
He watched the ninety six bulls, and that's how he
knows them.
Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
But like again, it's not like, you know, there's a
lot of you know, voting infrastructure going on to the
same right now.
Speaker 6 (01:36:30):
We also remember Lebron said he thought he was famous
until they went to Beijing and he went out with
Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 1 (01:36:36):
Lebron say it goes.
Speaker 6 (01:36:37):
I thought I was famous until we went to the
Olympics in Beijing and I went out with Kobe. He said,
I saw a whole different that's all the different world.
Speaker 2 (01:36:46):

Speaker 4 (01:38:01):
Man dedicated oh your boy, your boy. Benny said that
Aussie break.
Speaker 2 (01:38:08):
The answer was a national embarrassment and the best way
to ensure the sport doesn't return to the Olympics. Also
the battle between JJ McCarthy and Sam Donald will be interested.
Speaker 1 (01:38:16):
Well, Ben, let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (01:38:17):
Your best American pal over here at VJ was calling
Sam Donald just about everything but a child of God.
Speaker 1 (01:38:24):
In the last commercial BREAKJ your thoughts, Yeah, Benny is
my guy? Come on hey, by the way, good night Mike.
Speaker 2 (01:38:31):
Without Benny, first of all, Benny's on truck, it is
gonna be interesting.
Speaker 5 (01:38:35):
But at the end of the day, there's just not
a world that you're telling me.
Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
If JJ proves himself that he could be competent as
a rookie starting quarterback, that's who they're going with, as
simple as that. If listen, if Sam Donald was locked
in as the QB one, he would not have played today.
He would not have played today if he was locked
in as the QB one, Benny. So I'm definitely. I'm
definitely with you this one. I gotta get in real quick.
(01:39:00):
Know what we want to try to get charge charge of.
Speaker 1 (01:39:03):
Mars is listening. He loves me. I love him that.
Speaker 6 (01:39:05):
Charles Limer says that Big Meal funny y'all talking about
twenty Olympics. Look out for my man d l two
down here in Dallas. Derek yeah, I could see that.
Speaker 1 (01:39:16):
I can see that too. That's a good one because.
Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
You need length, you need activity on the boards, you
need rebounding, and he shot blocking.
Speaker 1 (01:39:22):
He could play the Anthony Davis. Uh Anthony Davis role.
Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
Yeah, tweet Charles Hey, nice one, Charles all right, right
now coming on to play the role of baseball analyst.
Speaker 1 (01:39:31):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
He's got his own theme music to Mars. Jay Morris,
MLB bro content reporter to Mars, how are you, my friend?
Speaker 9 (01:39:38):
I'm good? Feelas I'm good? So my bucks get a
nice little win.
Speaker 4 (01:39:41):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (01:39:42):
Something I was it on the gold medal day. He's
talking about the Buccaneers free season football.
Speaker 5 (01:39:50):
I'll tell you about them, bumb ass bucks something.
Speaker 1 (01:39:52):
Don't bring them up, man, I got you, Florida man.
Yeah right, okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
So but to Mars, let me ask you you said,
because let's play all the carton back a little bit.
Sometimes Lamar j Will send us questions because it's, you know,
says to what he wants to answer. It's what the
information he wants to get out there into the world.
I had all I had to preface that one before
asking this. You say the White Sox are positioning themselves
(01:40:23):
to have a major improvement next season.
Speaker 9 (01:40:27):
Maybe not exactly next season, but I think listen, I
love the Grady Sizemore signing.
Speaker 1 (01:40:32):
Okay, I love the gratty.
Speaker 9 (01:40:33):
I'm excited to see what he can do. What if
I say when I come on you guys the show,
I always talk about culture, a successful teams culture. When
I seen them come back against the Cubs yesterday, that
showed me a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
Man.
Speaker 9 (01:40:43):
It shows me they're already buying into what he's selling.
They already got respect for him. And when you got
players who respect you and they're buying into what you're selling,
they're gonna go above and beyond. They're gonna stay in
the fight. They're gonna you know what I'm saying, They're
gonna keep competing. They're gonna go hard. So I think,
you know, I think they could turn things around in
the next couple of seasons that Grady tinna change that culture.
Speaker 1 (01:41:03):
Hey, DeMar Jay, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (01:41:04):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (01:41:04):
Vij browns Gey, how you doing? Player?
Speaker 3 (01:41:06):
I'm good, brows a little man.
Speaker 1 (01:41:07):
He good?
Speaker 5 (01:41:09):
Yeah, awesome, all right, So let's go to our division.
Speaker 6 (01:41:12):
You and me, we were both are al West guys,
me being a Rangers defending World Ships champion, you're angels,
but you want to talk about the Mayor Nerds and
it seems like that they don't want to win this division.
They have now fallen the second place half of the game,
behind the Astros. But calling up one of their top
pitching prospects, man, fill us in on this guy and
tell us why this is a big deal and what
(01:41:33):
do you expect from it.
Speaker 9 (01:41:36):
Yeah, so, Troy Taylor, I've only seen him pitch twice.
I've actually seen him pitch twice. I've seen a bunch
of highlights and clips, but actually watched these games twice.
And he's nice, man, He's nice, has a nice fastball,
nice slider. Fastball can get up to about ninety eight.
He killed it in the minors. And I think if
he can get some playing time come postseason, that'd be
(01:41:57):
good experience for him. And I think just any playing
time up until postseason would be good experience for him.
And who knows what kind of role he will have
for this team next year. Obviously, you can never have
too many arms. Their rotation is solid, but as far
as yeah, the rotation is solid, as far as the bullpen,
you know, you can always use a little help. So
I think he could be effected there because he's not
going to be in the rotation, so he'll make a start,
(01:42:18):
but I expect him to be in the bullpen, So yeah,
I'm excited for him. I think I think he'll be
a solid player. All right, boy shut out fifty one
batters in like thirty five innings, so yeah, some nasty stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:42:28):
All right, DEMARJ.
Speaker 2 (01:42:29):
The Dodgers out here, LA's preremier team has been struggling recently,
five and five in the last ten and don't look now,
but those San Diego Padres are gaining on them in
the National League West, only two games back, seven game
win streak, Jackson Merrill with clutch hit after clutch hit
after clutch hit, DAMARJ.
Speaker 1 (01:42:50):
Are the Dodgers going to be a wild card team?
And is the reason why in San Diego?
Speaker 3 (01:42:56):
I think so?
Speaker 9 (01:42:57):
And look, I've been high on the Padres for what
about a month to have maybe a month now, you know,
I first started talking about, Yo, the projects can get
it together, so they can make it. They could be
a problem, and hey, they're looking like a problem right now.
But yeah, they're dangerous. They got bet, they got everything.
They got bad solid defense, and they were doing this
without Joe Muskro. They were doing this without you, Darvish
Bogarts was missing time. They haven't had tatis. So if
(01:43:20):
they can get those guys back, hey the saying, watch.
Speaker 6 (01:43:24):
Up, damar j Right now, when you just go down
to the standings and you see the power teams that
we're getting close to where things are going to kind
of start to get more concrete. And I go and
out look at the Phillies and I watched a few
of their games in the last couple of weeks, and
there's not a time this year I look and I go, yeah,
maybe they can do it. I'm starting to lean to
(01:43:46):
the side of a al or NL. You guys better
be watching this Phillies team that has come up short
the last few years, right, great teams they've had gotten
to the World Series and just lost. But now it's
like they might be able to shut the door. Do
you feel that way too when you look at the
Phillies or the Yankee is still there for you?
Speaker 2 (01:44:03):
The Orioles, maybe the Guardians? Who is And then mar
just told you told you about the Dodgers and the Pojecs.
But other than the Dodgers and Parties, the other top teams,
who's a team I don't want the team that might
I want the team you look at and say, oh no, no, no,
they they're contenter, they can they can hold the trophy
this year.
Speaker 9 (01:44:20):
Yeah. So yeah, it was the Phillies for me. It's
been the Phillies for me. I mean it still is
as of right now, I'm looking at I know, I've
been all.
Speaker 3 (01:44:28):
Over the place.
Speaker 9 (01:44:29):
It's hard, man, It's a long season.
Speaker 3 (01:44:30):
You know.
Speaker 9 (01:44:30):
What I'm saying is the teams are up and down.
So but right now I'm looking at the Ashos, Man,
they're playing.
Speaker 1 (01:44:36):
A lot there.
Speaker 9 (01:44:36):
They finally got it together than clicking a little bit,
they got decent pitching. You know, you get Blanco and
Franber out there for the first two games. If are
Geddy can you know, can do his thing. Obviously I
don't expect thirteen k's, but he can. Obviously he can
get you six, seven, eight k's. He could rack them up.
So I'm looking at the Ashows to possibly make a
run in the AAR. I gotta go with the Yankees
(01:44:58):
still for the al right now, but I mean.
Speaker 4 (01:45:00):
Towards the Astra was just about to ask you about
the Yankees. Garrett Cole had ten strikeouts today, ended up
not mattering. I shouldn't say not mattering because it ended
up not resulting in a Yankees win. But on a
ninety pitch limit, ten strikeouts, Garrett Cole seems to be
right in order. I mean, thirty sixty three strikes on
ninety pitchers.
Speaker 9 (01:45:21):
Yeah, that's the Formosa young from last season. So and
this is what he's done his whole career, you know,
high performance pitcher player, been one of the best in
the game for a couple of years now. So I
just want to see Luis he'll get back to what
he was doing earlier, obviously. Want to see this offense
keep it going, put up runs. Hopefully, Judge don't go
on another drought. He was injured when it happened, but
(01:45:43):
hopefully he doesn't go through another struggle. Don't look like
it though. My man's on fire. But yeah, Yankees, they
still got a shot man. They still got a shot
Nester Nessor has been pitching well his last couple of outs,
So yeah, I like the Yankees, all right.
Speaker 6 (01:45:56):
I got to poke a little fun at you, man,
because you was talking them Reds last lat year and
Mari was talking to Reds last year because we had
win bet with the root Crew and they're falling all
the way down to the last place in their division.
Speaker 1 (01:46:07):
What happened to the Reds?
Speaker 9 (01:46:09):
They're just so inconsistent, man, Like, I really can't gauge
this team that look good for a couple of stretches.
The win to lose three, win three, lose three is
just they're so up and down, offensive, sporadic everywhere, there
is no consistency, and they haven't been able to put
those complete games together where everything's clicking. We're all facets
of the team's clicking, defenses on point, the starting pitchings
(01:46:30):
on point, the rotations coming in, shutting the lineup down,
the bats are on fire. They haven't been able to
put too many of those games together. And obviously, if
you can't do that then yet you're gonna have these
up and down stretches during the season. So they'll probably
be making some more moves, though, you know, they've had
to cut these Some of these guys have been together
for about three years now, so they might be making
some more changes down to Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (01:46:52):
All right, DeMars.
Speaker 2 (01:46:53):
We're talking here with Demarjay Morris, MLB Bro content reporter.
Speaker 1 (01:46:56):
You check all all of his work out at.
Speaker 2 (01:46:59):
Mlbbro dot com and the surrounding social media accounts that
go with it. Paul Skiings, themar Jay has been lights
out but right now getting knocked around by the Dodgers.
Only went five innings or five and the third innings
with five hits and three walks in this last outing.
Speaker 4 (01:47:19):
I am not NLT not saying we need to be concerned.
Yet at what point do we need to be concerned?
Speaker 2 (01:47:27):
How much more of this has to happen for Paul Skins,
because I mean coming out before the first half of
the season, he's pitching, you know, seven innings straight, eight
innings not you know, no no strikeouts, I mean shutout innings. Like,
do we need to be concerned about Paul Skiings going
forward and like a second half rookie slump.
Speaker 9 (01:47:47):
No, No, he'll be fine, Like you said, it's just
the rookie things. You know, he's just going through a
Dodgers have been struggling, but they still got some tough bets.
You know, that's still a tough lineup. So we got
to admit that, but he'll be okay. You know, his
stuff is nast he'll be good. He's figuring things out,
you know, like he said in the when he was
in the minors, he was learning how to just figure
out batters, how to utilize certain pictures and just figure
(01:48:08):
out batters and just be effective or as effective as
he can with his pitches. So he'll keep learning and
growing and developing in the league, and he'll be okay.
At some point, they might want to think about shutting
them down though, you know, because I don't think they're
going to make it in so they might want to
end up shutting them down real quick. I'm in the
we're in the n L. The Diamondbacks man suff for
some injuries tonight. They lost Marte and a Gallant, so
(01:48:29):
we got to look out for that. That's what four
injuries in the last six games, I think. So things
aren't looking good for the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
Diamondbacks were hot in a couple of ways ago that
we're kind of creeping up on the NL West. But
like I said, padres right down two back of the
Dodgers who are leading the Pirates right now.
Speaker 1 (01:48:46):
But we'll see how that one ends up.
Speaker 6 (01:48:49):
Padres catch Dodgers, yes or no, Yes, Rangers get to
out of the six and a half hole. Am I
shutting it down for the year and just enjoying the
world sers fro last year.
Speaker 9 (01:48:58):
Shut it down for the year andelsi'stcha, I'm yeah, I'm
fine with that.
Speaker 2 (01:49:03):
Let's ring still shines, the rinks still shine. That is
the quote that I'm sure all the gold medalists are
saying right now. The gold still shines. Themar Jay you
still shine. Thank you very much for joining us on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 9 (01:49:18):
Thank you, appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (01:49:19):
Appreciate your brother Mantonical Cars and said, what up.
Speaker 2 (01:49:22):
Appreciate you man, Thank you for coming on the show.
We'll have you on next week at the same time.
Right now, let's kick it over to Chris Perfect for
everything trending in the world of sports.
Speaker 1 (01:49:33):
Chris Spencer Rattler. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 10 (01:49:36):
Go ahead, No, we could talk about Spencer Rattler with
the rushing touchdown. We could, we could, or we could
talk about your new leader in the Al East. Just
final Baltimore Orioles seven over the Tampa Bay Rays. Texas
Rangers and the Yankees split a doubleheader earlier and now
has allowed Baltimore to go to the top. I'm sure
that'll keep flip flopping here as we come down the stretch.
(01:49:58):
Seattle trying to keep pace after Houston's five to four
win over the Boston Red Sox day It's currently three
to nothing Seattle in the fourth inning. But the big
story from the Olympics ninety eight eighty seven, and for
the fifth straight time, team USA men's basketball has taken
home gold and largely came from Steph Curry twenty four points,
(01:50:20):
eight of twelve shooting from three. Those last four shots
are probably going to go down in the history books
of Martin and VJ. Just unbelievable shots all around. The
final day of the Olympics coming up on Sunday, USA
women's basketball playing for gold against France nine thirty am
Eastern Time.
Speaker 1 (01:50:37):
Tip off.
Speaker 10 (01:50:38):
There, What are you thinking, guys? You think the women's
can get the gold medal?
Speaker 1 (01:50:43):
Spoiler alert, they've already won it. Yeah, that's right. I
think they're already printed up. They've already won it. They
already got their names on it. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 10 (01:50:51):
Kind of like, who was it for the for the
Olympic floor final?
Speaker 1 (01:50:56):
Chiles?
Speaker 10 (01:50:57):
Who got moved to Jordan Chiels, Yeah, got moved to fifth,
got moved to fifth. Did you see this Martin?
Speaker 2 (01:51:03):
That like it was?
Speaker 1 (01:51:04):
They're ridiculous. They're their appeal.
Speaker 10 (01:51:07):
Which originally put them to third, that is now saying
they came two seconds too late. So she got moved
back down to fifth. And will, I guess, have to
surrender the bronze medal.
Speaker 1 (01:51:18):
I saw him reading the story. They might give them
both the bronze medal. Do you appeal? You get a
minute to appeal after the scores come out.
Speaker 4 (01:51:24):
So my question is this, what the hell are you
doing for sixty seconds outside of throwing the Red Talents
flag where it takes because they said it came out
four seconds after the fact.
Speaker 1 (01:51:33):
Throw the flag?
Speaker 10 (01:51:35):
Yeah, stop watching the replay. Just throw it already, just
to just to be safe. What's what's the downside?
Speaker 3 (01:51:40):
Right?
Speaker 10 (01:51:40):
You're gonna you're gonna lose a time out for challenging
the IAC.
Speaker 4 (01:51:43):
These gymnastics folks clearly don't watch baseball.
Speaker 1 (01:51:46):
Don't you know any play? And late ain't seventh inning
or later.
Speaker 4 (01:51:50):
You just do the thing, cover your ears and tell
the umpires to go look at it anyway?
Speaker 1 (01:51:54):
Who cares? You know what else.
Speaker 2 (01:51:56):
They could take that bronze medal and shove it anyway,
because there was one app that showed that they His
is tarnishing already.
Speaker 1 (01:52:03):
I don't know if you guys seen them.
Speaker 2 (01:52:04):
Yeah, there's an athlete that's shown he did a video
after two days of halving it.
Speaker 1 (01:52:07):
It's tarnishing. It's turning on him.
Speaker 10 (01:52:10):
Well, yeah, as someone who keeps ironware, it is bronze,
and you do have to kind of keep that stuff
pretty well, taking care of it's.
Speaker 1 (01:52:17):
It's like seventeen minutes old.
Speaker 10 (01:52:21):
You know how long it was in storage though. Yeah, hey, hey,
i'd have questions about the warehouse there.
Speaker 1 (01:52:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:52:29):
USA women's soccer also won Golden Paris. Mallory Swanson early
second half goal being this sider there you were talking
about Dennis Rodman earlier, Trinity Rodman being one of the
consequential goals that got the US to the metal match
here against Brazil. NFL preseason, we had three rookie quarterbacks
in action. Four if we count Spencer Rattler, Caleb Williams
(01:52:50):
debut shoe.
Speaker 1 (01:52:51):
We count Spencer Rattler. He's a quarterback.
Speaker 10 (01:52:53):
He talk count Spencer Rattler. You want me to go
back and Adam back. Yet you want me to say
Spencer Ratler again.
Speaker 1 (01:52:58):
If we're talking about rookie quarterbacks, that's all I got
to say.
Speaker 10 (01:53:01):
Might be even more than four. I'm mostly just focusing
on the three who were the you know what. Let's
call it like this first round rookie quarterbacks in action today.
Caleb Williams four of seven, ninety five yards, Bears thirty
three to six over the Bills. Minnesota rookie JJ McCarthy
getting put through the work eleven to eleven of seventeen,
passing for one hundred and eighteen yards, two touchdowns, one interception.
(01:53:25):
He got the interception out of the way early on
and kept sailing through that. We didn't see much Jade
and Daniels. He only had two for three played one series,
but he had posted forty five yards and scored a
touchdown on the ground on a quarterback keeper three yards
rushing touchdown. Jets won that preseason game twenty to seventeen.
If anyone is keeping score of who wins preseason games,
(01:53:45):
does anyone care besides gamblers at this point? No?
Speaker 1 (01:53:48):
I care?
Speaker 3 (01:53:49):
You care?
Speaker 6 (01:53:49):
So, yes, because a wins a win. It's about mentality.
It's about morality. It doesn't mean anything for the regular season.
But when you're walking off that field and you got
a dubb, I don't care what it is in football.
It feels good and that's what you want going into
a locker room and going to sleep and waking up
the next day knowing, hey, we got to get back
at it.
Speaker 1 (01:54:07):
But that was a good win. Yes, sday, Yes it
does matter.
Speaker 10 (01:54:09):
Jacksonville twenty six over the reigning world champion Kansas City
Chiefs thirteen. However, Kansas City's rookie quarterback from UCLA, Carson Steel,
had a touchdown in this game. Here Dolphins lose offensive
lineman key On Smith to an ACL tear. Packers saw
rookie running back Marshaun Lloyd leave the game with an
undisclosed injury. In golf at the Windham Championship second round,
(01:54:33):
we'll be going into this was delayed because of tropical
storm weather in North Carolina. Max Coucher under twelve shot
sixty four on the day, But keep an eye on
Max Graserman, who is sitting back a single stroke. He
shot sixty on Saturday. Martin VJ back to you, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:54:54):
Chris also saw this just drop down in the middle
of your update. You're gonna find to love this, Chris,
as news comes down as you're updating the news. Hollywood
Brown suffered a Sterno clavicular joint dislocation and is currently
in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (01:55:08):
That's not good. That is not good at all. No,
you don't think so. No, you don't think that's a
good You don't think that's a good day.
Speaker 4 (01:55:16):
No, Sterno covlicular's hearing. He's being assts I am, but
he's been.
Speaker 2 (01:55:24):
He's comparing with the Tyreek Hill's shoulder injury. Andy Reid
is from twenty nineteen, which caused him to miss four games.
Hopefully a quick recovery for him and Andrey Thomas. I
saw a broken arm earlier day in a preseason game.
Speaker 4 (01:55:36):
Speaking of these preseason games, Andy Reid does it, the
Miko Ryans does it. Athy Reid one of the best
coaches in the NFL. The Mico RAN's one of the
hottest young coaches in the NFL. Is the rest of
the league getting it wrong? We'll get to that coming
up next. Martin wis Vida Husky on Fox Sports Radio.
Martin Weiss Vija Husky coming to you live from the
(01:55:58):
tiraq dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (01:56:00):
Andy Reid does it? Dimico Ryans does it? Today? I
saw Doug Peterson does it? Ja the age old question?
It's a hot dog of sandwich.
Speaker 4 (01:56:11):
No, I'm just kidding the age old question answers, No,
I agree hot dogs are hot dogs?
Speaker 2 (01:56:17):
Have some decorum people. You've never heard somebody say, hey,
will you make me a sandwich? And they brought you
a hot dog?
Speaker 1 (01:56:22):
Aver? Who calls it a sandwich? I was making a
catch bad.
Speaker 5 (01:56:28):
I'm sorry it was.
Speaker 1 (01:56:29):
It was supposed to be a one off, not a topic.
Speaker 5 (01:56:31):
How much you want to meet Patrick?
Speaker 3 (01:56:32):
Be Well?
Speaker 4 (01:56:34):
Patrick makes pizza a sandwich? So a Actually he makes
pizza burrito?
Speaker 1 (01:56:39):
So who knows?
Speaker 5 (01:56:40):
Pizza rito?
Speaker 7 (01:56:41):
Sir?
Speaker 5 (01:56:41):
Pizza pizza?
Speaker 1 (01:56:44):
What you got?
Speaker 3 (01:56:45):
Mark?
Speaker 1 (01:56:45):
Look at what? Let's go. Let's let Mark. Let's let
Mark do his thing. You should you shit our start
your starters in preseason games?
Speaker 6 (01:56:52):
It depends on who it is, man, Really, it depends
on who it is some starters. Some starters need a
little work. But my my f fifty something million.
Speaker 2 (01:57:01):
Dollar quarterback, Hey, no, my thirty five million dollar receiver,
my twenty eight million dollar corner and rush in hell.
Speaker 1 (01:57:13):
No, if you listen once you get to it.
Speaker 6 (01:57:16):
In my opinion, year four or five in the NFL,
and you a stud, like you're a guy, you're a beast.
You don't need preseason work, okay, And nowadays it's just
too dangerous because they don't allow you to hit as
much anymore. They don't allow the physicality as much anymore.
They cut your days down. They want to cut the
OTAs down, so you can't. I know, you gotta get
(01:57:37):
out there and you gotta bump somebodies in and get
some licks in. That's what the joint practice is are for. Normally,
we just went and practice against the team. Like the
Dolphins played the Falcons last night, right, they've been practicing.
Speaker 2 (01:57:49):
Win them all week long, and they've had full contact
sessions in practice, one office against one defense and then
the other team's one offense against one defense.
Speaker 1 (01:57:57):
So it's been they've hit, you've seen what you need
to see.
Speaker 2 (01:58:01):
Then they go put them out on the field and
the Miami Dolphins lose a backup, backup off it's a
lineman who's probably they was fighting that they wanted to
you know, him to prove himself to get into the
starting role.
Speaker 1 (01:58:11):
Chears the ACL last night. Done for the season, So
I just Pat Mahomes know the name of like nothing,
I got you, I got you. But I would play
my guys in the preseason. I would. I think when
you look at the best.
Speaker 2 (01:58:24):
Teams in the NFL historically, they start out hot in general,
maybe have a lull mid season, but start out.
Speaker 1 (01:58:31):
The season strong, finished season strong.
Speaker 2 (01:58:33):
Almost all of them have in common of playing their
starters at least a few snaps in the preseason.
Speaker 1 (01:58:38):
I will play them because here's the thing you want
to talk about.
Speaker 2 (01:58:41):
Preseason games feel like they're you know, unregulated or so
on and so forth.
Speaker 1 (01:58:46):
How many different training camp fights have we seen in
the last five days.
Speaker 2 (01:58:50):
I've seen multiple people get hit in the head with helmets,
not with people hitting them helmet to helmet, with people
swinging helmets around and making contact with other people in
their head.
Speaker 5 (01:59:01):
Five of those different fights were all from the Seahawks camp.
Speaker 6 (01:59:04):
I was about to say, and the Giant whoever the
Giants were practicing, they had a bunch of fights. Okay,
I haven't I haven't seen as many fights this year
as we've seen in past years.
Speaker 1 (01:59:15):
I haven't seen five fights in Seattle that's because it's.
Speaker 6 (01:59:22):
It's spilled over from an incident where the teammates didn't
come help. The same thing with Amaran Saint Brown. Something
happened there, but it's Jones was in there scrapping it up.
That's what you're talking about. Two different practices. It's not
league wide as it's been.
Speaker 1 (01:59:36):
Now. We still were the story of Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (01:59:39):
We still got we still got more more practices to go,
and more joint practices coming up and all.
Speaker 1 (01:59:46):
But I I do I do think that it's chilled out.
Speaker 4 (01:59:50):
It's not as the Lions and the Lions and the
and the Giants were literally tagged what half of a
million dollars combined from fights and practice, and they stopped
practice midway through.
Speaker 6 (02:00:01):
I just said, guys, I'll give you those two practices,
but at the end of the day, I you know,
I much rather get my starters out there in the
joint practice and then instead of putting them on on
the preseason game, get them hurt for the year.
Speaker 2 (02:00:12):
I mean, if you get hurt for the year in
week one, you get hurt from the year in preseason
week one, Guess what, You're still boned.
Speaker 1 (02:00:18):
But do you know what Lucky for Fox Sports Radios.
You're not boned. Arnie Spaniard and Jason Woo messed up.
Oh well see
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
That's right, that's right, Martin Wis's VJ Husky sitting in
here on a Fox Sports Saturday broadcasting live from the
tire iraq dot com to your tire rack dot com.

buying should be. Well, uh VJ.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
It wasn't exactly a blowout, but the good guys prevail again.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
The good guys prevail again. Team USA brings home the
gold medal.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Right, walked into trap and took over the trap going
into France.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Hey, you walked in, said Victor Wilman. Yama set him

damn French fries.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Hey, hey, hey you he congratulations your gold medalists. How
do you feel, BJ?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
How you like?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Listen?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Man, I'm gonna be honest with you, guys. I've had
a hillatious day. I'm I'm serious. I've had a hillatious
personal day to the point that I'm driving in Martin.
Normally I listened to either classical music or listen to
Monty and Steve, and I want to catch like the
last you know, forty five thirty minutes. What are they
talking about? See what theyre talking about? So I don't
regurgitate something that some of the other great talent here
(01:55):
Fox Sports Radio have said already on air.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
And I walk in and I'm okay.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
And as I walk into the door, I recognize mister
Chris Purfett stand in the hallway talking to a gentleman.
But I don't recognize the gentleman because I've had a
relatious personal day and I'm not feeling that great. And
the closer I walk to him, and the closer I get, Martin,
who the hell do I see but our guy Brandon Trufflaw,
(02:22):
our longest running producer who left and is now down in.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
The Diego area doing this thing.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
And he told me he could tell that I'm not
from down there because I call it Diego and I'll
keep calling it for Diego because I'm not down there
and I'm not from down there.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
That's fine.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
But to see his smiling face and we need to
just give a bro dapping hug. We gave a double
arm bro hug with a little squeeze in there. Man,
I missed that guy. So good to see him. And
it was almost God's way of telling me VJ. Everything
is gonna be just fine. I've put the right people
around you, and the right people are gonna win today,
(02:57):
as Team USAY did in the right guy, in my opinion,
shut the door.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
How how about now, I'll let you lead into it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
But how about that? Listen.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I saw a good friend of mine, Cam hay Huh
tweet at the time during the.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Was it the pool play games?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
He tweeted, the first set of deep three bombs from
Steph Curry's going to cause an international incident.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And I've been stealing.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That's where I thtole international as I'm using it all
all the last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
That's where I got it from and sure enough.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Steph Curry light largely absent, are not really honestly, had
not played up to the standard that we expect to
see out of Steph Curry until the game, the second
place game and the gold medal game, and he was
a sight to see, unlike the first game that he
went off against Serbia right to push Serbia into the
(03:52):
gold medal game at like right there, he was getting
hot off the top. That's what thank you Bron's medal game.
He was getting hot off the top of the game, right.
But the thing that had me concerned in that moment
with Serbia was matching shot for shot for shot for shot.
Now in this time, he goes off at the start
of the fourth quarter and it's just every time France
went on a run. Steph Curry was like, thank you sir.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Here's another one.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Take this, take that, take this, take that half, have
another one.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And I saw him the best.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
It was so great because Steph was talking so crazy,
so crazy, you didn't need to know.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Look, you know, this is the Olympics, all types of
languages flying around. You didn't have to know English.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
You know that Steph Curry was talking that cash talk Okay,
And then when he looked over, he said, you ain't
gotta worry about me. You ain't gotta worry about me.
We ain't worried no more.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Baby. Oh, matter one and done. Steph Curry, Man, you.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Want to talk about hey, you don't talk about being
a bus you know, saying it's a bus rider along
for the ride.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
No, no, no, Steph was.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Out there in about seventy five in the fast lane,
out there on the autle bomb.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Why y'all want to pass the torch on to somebody else?
Steph said, record scratch.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
No, no, no, no, no, homeboy. I'm still here. I'm still chef.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
I'm still four time champion, I'm still two time MVP,
one time unanimous. I'm still Stephan freaking Curry. Oh you
want to run at me? Have you not been watching
the NBA?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh, let me just pump fake you one side dribble,
take my time, three ball. Let me let me turn
around and look. Because it ain't just the All Star game.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I do this. It ain't just a regular season NBA game.
I do this.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
It ain't just a playoff game I do this. It
ain't just end up the NBA Finals game I do
I do this.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
On the world.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Stage called the old lamb Bis for the gold medal.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
All these stars around.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, Lebron played good, Durant had his moments, An Edwards
had his moments. But when it comes to close the door,
my favorite saying is when everybody pushes all their chips
to the middle of the table and it's all or nothing,
It's on me. There's something to be said for the
guy that says, give me the ball, get on my
(06:16):
damn shoulders, and I'll take us the rest of the way.
No foul, honey, no flopping. No, I'm gonna just do
what I do once again. You want to come flying
at me? Open here, three straight possessions. You would think
about our time defenders like, wow, don't run, just don't
run and fly at him.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
He's gonna headfake you. One reuble step to the left
or the right, rainbow splash. Come have some man.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Congratulations the team USA and this is what the Olympics
are all about. And Martin and I never thought they
would lose, not or leave Paris not having a gold medal.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
We never thought that maybe some teams could give him
a rum. But at the end of the day, we're
the United States of America. We have the best of
the best of everything.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's just who we are. Like it or not. But
guess what, guess what you gotta do. Rest of the world.
You gotta deal with it.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Like Rick Flair used to say, you ain't gotta love it,
but you better learn to live with it because it's
the best thing going today.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Whoa Team USA and Steph.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Kirk fellow light skin brother being along with me and
Martin finishes it off for Team USA.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Right, we're bad, Yeah, we we went way, we get nowhere.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
No, I'm just saying, yo, hey, we have some Canadians
take some ls.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You know what. That's what about the Red, White, and Blue?
All right, Drake and Jamal American goals somewhere?
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Well you can add you can add who's who's the
guy from that before slips? My mind was with Memphis
causes all the trouble man, Yeah, yeah, yeah, book books.
He's Canadian and he light skin too, so gotta ask
you gotta add him in there too.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
But you're right, they've been taking some l's.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
But today the American light skinned brother said, hey, get
on my shoulders.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I got y'all. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
It was such to me, just a great game. Not
only just it just great competition. And you know what, honestly,
two things that came from this. First of all, I
was on this well before we got to the gold
medal game. Just an Olympic observation. Why don't we have
NBA Day games? Why don't we have NBA Day Yo?
Eighty Like there's eighty two games. You know what I
(08:16):
would watch on Tuesday at three pm, Hawks versus the Hornets, whoever?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I'd watch it. Why because it's on. We got baseball
day games.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Let's get some NBA Day games going on, I think,
first of all, But secondly, to watch these guys who
you see play, like to watch a guy like Devin Booker.
I thought about this the other like, while watching this game,
Devin Booker is a certified bucket.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, Devin Booker.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Got a seventy point game seven, I mean like seven
if Devin Booker, like in the playoffs with Devin Booker
was scoring like kind of like left than thirty, people like, yo,
what's going on?
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Real talk?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
What's happening? Real talk, what's happening like?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And and in that moment, it wasn't necessarily there for
him to take the shots the way he fit in
seamlessly on the defensive side of the ball and then
offensively when his number was called, bang knockdown. Right to
watch guys like Kevin Durant, another guy who you're looking
at him like, yo, you can get wherever you want
to to see him, like playing hard denial post.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Defense right, which you never see Durant due. And I'll
be honest, like Dennis Shrewder had a comment.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I don't know if you saw it, but basically it
was about I'm paraphrasing, but the basic statement was foeba,
basketball is more about basketball.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Like you okay, yeah, yeah, that's more about basketball like
Q less about one on one. That's part of the
reason why the quote unquote gap is shrinking and all
of that. And I feel where you're coming from. But
what we like and it's part of it is true.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
But when it comes down to crunch time, the Olympic
tournament is very much the same thing as the playoffs.
How many bucket getters do you have, How many guys
do you have that can bail you out of late
shot clock situations? How many guys do you have that
could throw grenades at the rim with two people guarding them,
(10:08):
with a six point lead to extended to keep the
run at Bay.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It was getting tight. How was getting tight? Three point game?
Three point It was getting tight.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
It was three point game with three minutes left, and
Steph said, no, excuse me, sir, I'm taking this gold
home with me.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Ain't nothing y'all can do about it. Yeah, forget the
pick and roll, high pick and roll.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
If you notice, like before Steph went off, they go
down the court three straight times. Lebron brings the ball
up and I'm like, bro, listen, I get it, Lebron,
but come off of it for this one.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Just come off of for this one.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
You're gonna get a gold medal like everybody else, and
just give the ball to Steph Curry and just let
him put this squad, either him or Durant. Let them
put this team away. They went with Curry, like you said,
one three pointer down, second three pointer down, and the
whole don't worry about me. Listen, man, you're talking Carmelo.
Anthony's sitting over there with his beautiful sons. Shakiri Richardson
(10:57):
is sitting over there.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
She go gets Curry a hug at I mean, the
star of stars that are still left at the Olympics,
and even that aren't participating in the Olympics. Snoop Dog
was Starbarry by the way, quick sidebar five hundred K
for his appearances at the Olympics. Go Snoop, talk about
a man that can still get a back her apparance.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Her appearance five hundred k.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Hello, Hey, like I said, talk about a guy that
could still go get it back.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
But also you didn't think this game was important.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Durant thirty one minutes, Lebron thirty two minutes, Booker twenty
eight minutes, Curry twenty to thirty minutes. I'm sorry the
other bam out of bio played nine minutes. Like that
showed you what today meant.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It showed you how Kerr was like, Okay, listen, y'all
not gonna have nothing to say to me today because
I'm just gonna play the dogs and I'm gonna just
let them run and eat and I'll, you know, I'll
filter on some other guys.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
AD got about nineteen twenty minutes. But other than that,
we running with the big dogs. They can't hang with
A shout out the victor winbin Yama, he had a
really good game, twenty six points, overly like twelve or
nineteen or eleven nineteen. From the field, he played very well.
You can see he's definitely a superstar coming. But once again, man,
just man, just you were right right now. I was
never worried. But this was way better than the Serbia game,
(12:12):
even though they were down seventeen. I just don't look
at Serbia's No, this is the gold medal game. This
is this is friends, this is their young star, the
rookie of the Year unanimously from the NBA First Team
All Defense in the NBA, Like, this is this is
the young new guy we're going up against with some
other ballers around their home court advantage.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Martin.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I will say on m on the point of when Minyama,
I was like, you know what, I kind of owe
everybody an apology. Not that I thought that Victor was
going to be bad, but I was telling everybody, y'all
got to chill with this.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
He's Kevin Durant mixed with Steph mixed with Lebron mixed
with all of After you watch you play in this
type of situation, I can.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
See where I can see where like he still got
things to work on in this game.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
But I can see where everybody gets super excited about
it in that environment, right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Obviously, the NBA stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That we've seen it's been otherworldly, but when you see
it in that kind of space, because because the referees
are calling a different game, there's more there's almost there's
less spacing in the international game. These guys who clog
the lane, so it's it's a different style and it's
a little member clad.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Ten and international bat. You can knock it off the rim.
It that a few times and he should have. He
should have. I wish America did it a few more times,
but we didn't need it. But once again, Martin, congrats man.
It was today's game was really fun. But this is
what the Olympics are all about. You get really juiced
when the gold medals on the line, and when the red, white,
and blue, the stars and stripes is out there representing
(13:34):
our country, a country I've served and come from an
army family. It just means a little some extra to
a guy like me.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I completely understand that I did not serve, But I
tell you what you would have had I would have
bought like a.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Congratulations your team just won the gold medal, because.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What eight hundred four four four four to get your
commemorative cap. And you know you're hating magazine like I
would have bought it in an R beat Man if
they had ran that.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
I would remember the day as soon as the team
wins Sports Sports Illustrated. Now get the ninety three Bulls
T shirts and hat.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
And when the Saints won the Super Bowl, I was
sitting on I could not wait for the number to
pop over. I couldn't wait. I was like, it's finally
my turn, It's my turn. Finally, it's my turn.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Oh man, good stuff, great stuff today.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
So I'll tell you what, though, caps it off.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Team USA has got some work to do in the
next three and a half years.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Oh yeah, because, oh yeah. I don't think any of
those guys will be coming back. I think maybe aunt,
but I don't think.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
No, no, no, no, no no. I'm talking about the
three amigos. Oh no, no, no no no. They're done. They're done.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They gotta be They're done, right, They're done. You know
they're gonna go play the three on three imagine.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
And even I got like Anthony Davis, right, I think
the question and Anthony Davis is on the question, and
Devin Booker should be like, I mean, they'll be Anthony
Davis would be what thirty two, Devin Booker will be
thirty one.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
But at that's how they'll be the old heads of
the new team, wearing tearing the body though. You know
that Anthony Davis, he's wearing tearing. His body gets hurt
a lot in the NBA season.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Three years, four years from now, I take the under
on Anthony Davis one.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You know what, I don't care because right now we
got the gold medal.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That's right, Baby, we the best. Go Noah Lyles to
kick rock.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
World Champions, Baby World Champions. Took them all, saw them all,
knocked them all down.

Speaker 2 (17:18):

Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yeah, oh okay, all right, I like I could use that.
And I'm going to Mary, if you ever play that,
I'm gonna cut my mic on and say that with
so much drama in the BBC.

I love you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Kirk Cousins wanted to play some in the preseason yesterday,
but after the Atlanta Falcons game, they said, you know what, Nope, sorry, Kurk.
You're thirty six with one Achilles. You're gonna go ahead
and sit this one out. Let's give the Rains the
number eight overall pick Michael Pennix, who is nine for
sixteen one hundred and four yards and a quarter and
(18:11):
a half of work against DJ's Dolphins VJ. What do
you think the chances are that Penix outplays his position
as QB.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Two percentage're not ten percent. He's not gonna get the
starting job. He's not gonna get the starting job unless
mister Kirk just can't go. You don't give a guy
a guaranteed one hundred million dollars and some way, somehow
Penick is gonna play it. I watched the game here
with you doing in filling in for the odd couple,
(18:40):
and then, of course, as I do classic Ved style,
I watched it again at about one am, sitting on
my front porch drinking a little tequila, and he made
some Oka throws but he missed. He missed like two
or three throws where guys he had a chance to
lay a ball in there. Overthrew twice in the corner,
throwing Fay patters in the end zone. He was off
both times. So you do see some of the learning
(19:02):
curve that he is gonna go through, like all these
rookie quarterbacks are gonna go through. And that's fine, but
simply because you have Kirk Cousins, simply because he's one
hundred million dollar guaranteed money on the contract. If he
can go September eighth or ninth, or whatever it is
to start the season. If Kirk Couzin can go, he's
gonna go. I would still play and start Pinis again
(19:25):
in game two.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Well, I mean, who else is going to yep?
Speaker 6 (19:28):
I would start and play Penis again in game two,
and then if Kurt can go for series or two
or maybe a full quarter in game three. I think
Kurt's a guy. He's been around Martin, he's been around,
He's played. There's nothing that's gonna surprise him. There's nothing
new that's gonna happen. You want to make sure that
the guy's ready to go. You don't want to just
throw him out there and throw him to the Wolves.
In a preseason game, it gets a defensive end undrafted
(19:51):
that's trying to make the team and feels like, hey,
I'm gonna take this shot. I might get a flag,
but it might it might look like a hustle play
on film, and now hurts out.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
You know what I'm saying. You don't want that, so
I show them.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
I let Pennix get as much burning run as he
can and his Kirk's ready for opening Sunday.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That's the guy.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I mean, I think Kirk Cousins will be the Week
one starter. I don't think that was ever in question.
My question is this is the week ten starter, Like
you know what I'm saying, How does it Kirk Cousins
start the whole season if healthy? Because you know what,
we do know one thing about these quarterback battles and
so on, and we saw definitely like for example, in
Pittsburgh last season, Kenny Pikett was the guy. But you
(20:30):
can't fool the guys in the locker room. Yeah, right
after a while, there are the ones going out there
on the practice field and you owe it to your
team to play the best option, right because you have to.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You can't go out there.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
This ain't basketball where you're saying no, no, no, Joellenbiid
in Philadelphia seventy six ers, we actually want you to lose, right,
we need another number one overall pick. We actually would
like you to lose you like, you can't do that
in the NFL. So that's the question I'm asking, Like,
how long does Pennixes Kirk Cousins hold him off Oh,
as long as the competitive, as long as they're winning,
(21:01):
as long as they're five hundred or about five hundred
or right above five hundred. Yeah, pinis if Kirk Cousins
is I'm sorry, maybe I just I miss Ridyrick, I
miss heard your miss Redgick question. If kirk Cousins is
healthy and he doesn't get knocked out of a game,
we won't see pennis this year unless they start two
to nine or start one in seven or one to eight,
which I don't see happening. They got a lot of
(21:23):
talent on this team, they really do. Reeen Morris new
head coach. I think I think they're I think Kirk.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Cousins is farm. You said you don't see that happening.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Well, let's see what Alex Monico sees happening soon.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He is what I like to call a maniac. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It's host of the Better half Hour on MSG Sports.
Better Extraordinaire, Alex.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
How are you? My friend?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Martin Vijay? What's up? Boys? Happy Saturday? Listen? I'm down
the Disneyland Freeway. You guys are doing this unbelievable energy
out the top. Congrats on a gold medal. It's a
great day in the neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Just real quick, did you have any and I know
the odds on the gold medal game. I know you
were all probably all over the betting on that perspective.
Did you have any doubt that the USA was taking
home gold at any point?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
No doubt, absolutely, no doubt. It was a lock. It
was a lock. Again the fifteen points spread. Different conversation
game within the game that I play. But as far
as a dub, no, never a doubt. Lebron, Curry, kd
the big three of that squad, I mean the rotations. Look,
(22:31):
Kurr was doing a thankless job the whole time. Again,
the Tatum thing was interesting. Neither here nor there. They
got the gold. They're coming back winners. It's a big
dub for.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Everybody, all right, Monica, you said it absolutely right, the
coming back winners, which over and unders are you targeting
because we are also trying to come back winners. And
I know when you go to the sport, when you
go to the ticket booth, more often than not you're
coming back and trade that ticket for some cash.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Let me know what I need to be looking at.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Listen, the biggest thing in the NFL that happened in
this offseason. I heard you told me Vjay's already squad
riding with me, so I love it. He's a former,
the former San Diego Chargers, who I am in recovery
with as a fan born and raised in ron Burgundy Land,
(23:19):
are coming for everybody's jugular. And I'm here to tell
you Jim Harbaugh a real Gerald Butler, leader of men.
It's finally the missing piece this team needed. And as
hard as it is for me to root for a
team in a town with seven fans because they're all
down in San Diego, still we all know what Jim
(23:41):
Harbaugh does. I got a ridiculous amount of stats here
of what he used to do in the NFL, but
neither here nor there. Guy signs a record breaking deal
and chooses to stay in an RV right next to
the Pelican Hill. That's the man, phild Og. I'm telling
(24:02):
you he's not only a quarterback whisperer. You look at
what he did in San Francisco Boys forty four and nineteen.
All four years he was top ten and turnover ratio,
top half of the league in yardage differential, and his
defenses were top ten points against the top five and
yards against all every year he was there. What do
(24:24):
the Chargers not do? Because again we know this, you
cannot have great weather and winning football typically in southern California.
Matty Staff rewrote that, But the point is these games
last year seventeen points combined in six losses. That's called
situational coaching. I had a real problem with Brandon Staley
(24:48):
running scares on Monday Night Primetime, not getting the boys
riled up, and trying to have a coordinator like a
head coach. It's just is what it is. Stay's go on,
Hardbot's here they got players on all three phases defensively,
and here here's what it is not glamorous to let
go of Mike will Eckler, and the list goes on
(25:10):
of quality names. Keenan Allen. It's not easy to watch
those guys go. But if you've noticed what he's done,
he's integrated key pieces. He went first pick offensive lineman
and a legacy pick on the offensive line. He went
and got his brothers, not one running back, two running backs,
(25:31):
Gus Edwards, JK. Domins. So in this world, we live
in a fantasy football and YadA, y'ada, everyone wants to
see touchdowns aired out. Herbert can be a top five
quarterback in this league. They're gonna do what Harbad does.
They're gonna run the pass, They're gonna win time of possession,
they're gonna win the turnover battle, and their defense is
gonna help their offense. And it's something Charger fans are
(25:53):
not used to. I think you're looking at eight and
a half wins as disrespectful. I'm not saying it over
three to one. They're gonna steal the division. I'm just
saying after the Travis Kelsey Taylor honeymoon stage and they're
well fed over there in Kansas City. There's a team
coming for everybody, and if they don't steal the West,
they're gonna be in the dance and the tournament comes January,
(26:14):
and everybody better look out because the Chargers are coming
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Alex, you're one of the best and sharpest guys. You're
talking over and under and bettering in football.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
So whenever I have you on, I'm trying to stomp
you like I'm trying to give you something to really
really dig into. And now you must have been reading
my Charger notes, are watching our clips for the last
three or four weeks because you sound exactly like me.
But I want to talk about my beloved Miami Dolphins
being at Samos being at my man. OOS's got is bread,
(26:45):
Tyreek got his bread, Wattle got his bread, Anthony Weaver's
in with this defense. You listen to the players. You
know when guys are you know when guys are bs,
and then you know where guys are telling the truth
about the coaching staff that they have, the way they're
able to play. The last list of year stuff with
Vick was just out of it is just really out
of sources, with a defense that's still finnished tenth in
(27:05):
the league, that still lost every rusher and still didn't
have Jalen Ramsey until November. You look at this Dolphins team,
It'd be hard pressed for me to look at that
nine and a half and think anybody's got the balls
to go under on that. Change my mind or get
on the bus with me like you are with the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Listen. I love the Fins this year. I like what
you did. My issue with them was what they did
last year against teams about five hundred and again. I'm
gonna mend in blacket. I'm gonna forget last year as
a whole. But the reality is, I gotta be proven
that Tua and these boys can go against the Juggernauts
(27:45):
in the league. I will never forget that Dallas game,
that twenty two to twenty dance. I believe it was
somewhere right around Christmas.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Christmas even might have been off this Christmas night.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
That's one I need to see more of those types
of games. And I'm not saying they can't do it
decimated with Chubbs and a couple of defensive injuries towards
the end. There. I am looking at that division though
as beating each other up all year. I actually believe
reshuffling the deck, the Bills may be the team that
may be taking a step back, and the two horse
(28:17):
rates to win the East is actually gonna be between
Aaron Rodgers Jet and the Miami Dolphins. I think that
over nine and a half tasty. I like it. I
definitely cost I'm up on the Dolphins, but they got
to be able to show you can they go into
a cold environment once that temperature dropped? Can they go
(28:38):
into a hostile place again? You know, you lost to
the Chiefs, you lost to the Eagles. You got smoked
by the Bills at Buffalo. Those are games they gotta win.
I think they will get there this year. I think
it's a progressive league in a lot of ways, and
they're coming in with a lot of continuity, which is huge.
But it's a very difficult AFC. We know it's a
superior conference and it's a very difficulty and Aaron Rodgers
(29:02):
there turning Gray ain't got no time and that's a round.
It can't be swiveling and hurting himself again. So it's
gonna be a dialed in east. I look at this
team though, as a team you gotta buy in on early.
I'm with you on the fence. I just got to
see him against the superior AFC type teams. Can they
do it? Can they show up? Can't be losing by
(29:23):
two tugs on Natty Tz against the Eagles?
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Yeah, I got you, Alex Monico Sports better host of
the Better half hour. And just to kind of piggyback
on what you were saying, because I'm gonna defend my
Dolphins with I don't try to do I try to
remain professional, but.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
That that that record against winning teams.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Let's just understand that the Bills twice, the Chiefs twice,
the Eagles in the Ravens.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Okay, so I just want to make sure that we
tell the whole story. Yeah, they had a.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Under five hundred record, They're up at Philly, They're up
on the Bills in the Chiefs game over in England.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
We know how that things turn out.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
And then yeah, the Ravens just smoked us and that
one regular season game at home.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
But no, I agree with you totally.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
The Dolphins this year, it's all about December because we
know if they get a home playoff game, lookout.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I love it. And I'm telling you boys, the New
York Jets, Okay, no one wants could hear it and
it sounds exhausting.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You're right, I definitely don't. You're gonna have to pitch
me on this one.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I'm telling you. I'm sitting here perplexed, gentlemen, that it's
the same over under at nine and a half wins?
Is the what three hundred sixty five days ago? Fly out?
Perplexed because we're done with Aaron Rodgers, Mike Space Top
eight friends, Wizard and Cop come into town. They went
out and got actual Mike Williams, et cetera. Pieces I
(30:42):
mean Greece, Hall is a sleeper on the top five side.
If they close to the five, than he is three
by any means at the running back sixteen, won seven games,
was the third straight corterback in Denver. I sit here
and I tell you Hammer the New York Jets, who
again up not won ten games since quite a long
(31:03):
time ago. But this is a club that has a
very high belief. And I'm telling you it is a
town that is thirty. The New York Knicks are giving
good juju all the way across the board, and he.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Counts in that life.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I like how the New York Jests, the New York
Jests are here.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
I like how the next juju, the next, the next
juju doesn't spill over at all to the giants.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Now I'm just giving you a hard time, Alex. All right,
let's let's go rapid fire real quick. Give me some
of your rewards.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Who you think would be MVP, Rookie of the Year,
Offensive Player of the year, defensive player.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Whichever one jumps out to you, you get dealer's choice.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
You know it's not it's not the most glamorous, but
a guy that's had himself a heck of a three
sixty five. Shout out Jared Goff, who did just get yo.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I love this pick, go for it.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
There were not a lot of dudes who in thirty
tugs last year, boys over forty five hundred yards only
ninety seven QBR. He had a career high just shy
a seventy percent completion his first Pro Bowl since he
was a Ram. They had seven Pro Bowlers, fourth most
in the NFC. So much continuity. Gibbs is a player.
(32:13):
Almar Raz a top five receiver coming in this year.
Lallport is a top five tight end, and they got
a real culture. I know it's a little bit of
a long shot, but the value there for Jared Goff
to win an MVP, it's gotta be the least worth
a thought it once they doubled down on gives in Montgomery.
But I still think he can put up the numbers
(32:35):
to get him there. It's worth a sprinkle. I'm looking
at him as well, And then it's really hard to
not give Caleb a serious nod here. How often have
we seen a first overall draft pick coming in with
a seven win club that already made a couple of
huge moves, well four last season. Then they go out.
They doubled out on offense. There's weapons everywhere. I know
(32:56):
we got a small little costco sample this morning. But
he looks fum moe. He looks poised, he knows who
he is. He doesn't care about critics. Very rare for
a young kid. And look, he played in Olklahoma, played
at USC, He's been in big environments and Chicago is
such an amazing sports city, so so darsty for a
real kolder bag. I think Caleber Rookie of the Year.
(33:19):
It's his to lose. It's definitely his to lose. It's
definitely shock. I just don't think we've seen this very often,
where you get a guy coming in first overall with
a team that's nowhere near the worst in the league.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
See Honicle, I knew you were sharp. I knew you
were sharp because to me, that's my dark horse MVP.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
If you look at the odds right there, you consider
the history of how the MVP is won, I think
he's got a great shot to go to the guy
in Detroit, especially in the end a weaker NFC compared
to the AFC. But Alex Monico, you never my friends
are week on the microphone. Thanks for hopping on the show, Alex.
You can find them on Twitter at Alex Underscore Monico.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Watch him on MSG. We'll get you back on real soon.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Friend, Hey, Marv VJ. Appreciate you, boy, appreciate god boss brother.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Come on next, I'm talking into some of the reasons
why I think that Jared Golf is a good value
MVP bet.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
And also.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
I'm sorry, Mike, Yeah, I gotta hear that, all right,
you gotta we got to hear it too. You gotta
turn that microphone. I'm just I'm just I'm just busting
your ball, pal that shit. And also, speaking of busted balls,
are you guys done complaining about this yet?
Speaker 9 (34:28):
We?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Can we be done? Can we be done? All right?
But first let's go to Chris Burfett.
Speaker 10 (34:33):
I'm never done complaining. I want to hear this Jared
Goff MVP thing too. This is uh, even as a
Lions guy, this should be interesting. Yeah, but let's get
you to Paris.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Doctor Curry dancing up until hold for this couple teams.
Speaker 10 (34:50):
That's all right, Steph Curry there NBC on the call.
As he puts Paris to sleep ninety eight eighty seven
Team USA fifth straight gold medal in basketball over Team
Franz Steph Curry again eight of twelve from three in
this game here, just absolute dominance in the final minutes.
(35:12):
Full medal count. Right now, as we head into Sunday,
USA with thirty eight gold medals one hundred and twenty
two medals total, they still tril China in gold who
has thirty nine host France with sixty two medals sixteen gold.
In Major League Baseball, real quick, Baltimore Orioles a chance
to move atop the al least alone after the Yankees
(35:33):
and Rangers split doubleheader. Yankees took the first game eight
zero nine to three, Rangers in the second currently Baltimore
four nothing over Tampa in the fifth inning. Let's see here,
and then let's talk some pre seasons. Shally Caleb Williams
debut of Chicago four seven ninety five yards Bears thirty
three six over the Bills Raiders at Vikings. JJ McCarthy,
(35:54):
this is your rookie of the year.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
VJ.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
Sure thirds, sure pass, third interception. No tell the rest though,
but the rest of it is actually pretty good in volume,
quite a bit of a play here for him. Eleven
of seventeen one hundred and eighteen yards two touchdowns might
be actual quarterback controversy if Minnesota wants to stick with
Sam dartl Jade Daniels was your other rookie limited dislayer
(36:19):
the Commanders two or three forty five yards three three
yard rushing touchdown. And finally, Windham Championship. Max Kucher minus
twelve shot sixty four but Rex Greezerman, who's only one
back shot sixty on Saturday, Guys, back to you.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Thanks Chris, coming right up that thing. I just tease.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I'll tell you why Jared Goff historically has a good
shot to win the MVP.

Martin Wise Video Husky coming to you live from the
tire Rack dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Now, all right, VJ, let's work backwards on this MVP deal.
Looks do who do you think was the last MVP
that did not win their division the last end. I'm
not even trying to do a trick question.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Legitimate legitimate question that did not win his division here,
and I could run through the last three for you,
just so you got a freshman mind.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Twenty twenty three, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers back
to back in twenty and twenty one, Lamar again in
twenty nineteen, Mahomes twenty eighteen, Tom Brady, but the New
England Patriots in twenty seventeen, Matt Ryan, cam Newton. That's
about the last. Aaron Rodgers again at Peyton Manny. That's
the last.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Decade of MVPs.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Lamar Jackson. I think he won the division both years
that he wanted. The point is you almost have to
assuredly win the division to be even.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Like, oh, it wasn't one of those guys you were
just named. I was just naming.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
You had the pressure I thought I had to pick.
I wasn't out of that pick. What I'm saying is
you have to almost always be in the MVP voting.
You have to win your division on top of that
name me. Remember try to remember these teams in these years.
Baltimore last season, Kansas City this season before Green Bay
and twenty and twenty one. Okay Ravens in twenty nineteen,
(38:21):
Kansas City and New England at twenty seventeen. You know
all those teams have in common. No, they finished first
or second in their conference at the end of the
year in their division. No, no, no, finish first. They
all won the division. Okay, they all finished first or
second in their conference. In their conference.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
These are two.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Things that almost assuredly, you have to do to be
on the team of the guy that wins the MVP.
Now you tell me, do you think the Lions are
going to win their division? I know it's August tenth,
I'm not holding you no, all right, but do you
think the Lions going to the division? Tell me how
many teams are better than the Lions in the NFC.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Forty nine ers?
Speaker 2 (39:04):
So right now, right now, you would have the but
it'd be forty nine ers and that's it. So the
Lions right now, by the VJ metrics, would potentially would
finished second in the NFC.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Conference, right right. Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (39:19):
I see when you look at the history of the award,
Jared Golf is a great bet for this because the
Lions should win the NFC North, right, they should win it,
and not only should they win it, though, they're gonna
have some high paid competition or at least highly valued
competition among it in Chicago and green Bay.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Right, a lot of people are gonna pick green Bay.
So if the Lions, if the Lions fell, Green Bay,
and the guy who I think probably will be the
rookie of the year, Caler Williams on a good Bears
team beat a good Packers team, win the division, fitish
first or second in the NFC, probably second behind San Francisco.
If everything keeps track, why shouldn't Jared Golf You know
(40:02):
what I'm saying, Like, think about it, think about I
got confused.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
I thought I maybe I mishard you. I thought you
said didn't win their division. That's why my mind went
and when you started naming those guys.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
So think about it the other way.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
It's the last wildcard to come from an MVP, the
last MVP to come from a wildcard team. Man, I
don't none of these guys have been none, Right, you
see what I'm saying. So you almost gotta win the division,
and you almost gotta be one of the top two teams.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Get in the conference, get to the conference championship game.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Well, just not even at the end of the regular season,
when the standings come out, you're almost assuredly got to
be one of the top two.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
That's that's why Jared Goff coming up next. This is
why the gold medal game was a little sad go
us he It was a sad sight.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
To see in France. I explaining just a moment as
Martin Weiss and VJ.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Husky are broadcasting live from the tiraq dot com studios
tire rack dot com. Well, if you get there with
the unmatched election, fast free shipping, free road at the
protection over ten thousand, recommend that this dollars tiereck dot
com is.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
The way that tire bind should be.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
So the reason why I say it was kind of
I mean, so first of all, let me ask you this, Djay, Sure,
when you saw Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Lebron James
all playing together at the same time, really going back
to that, what do you even call that game? Was
the court of the some of the semifinals into the finals, right,
(41:27):
what were your thoughts or emotions?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
You know, it's coming to an end with these three guys.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
I think, and I've said on our show before, I
think all three of those guys are done winning NBA championships.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
I don't think the Warriors are going to win the
championship anymore. I don't think the Lakers are going to
win the championship anymore, well, Lebron, and I don't think
the Suns are going to win a championship with the
team that they currently have, even though they're pushing all
their chips in and loading up on every guy that
they possibly can, like.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
The Philadelphia seventy six ers.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
I think that's what made this so important to them,
and I think that's what made this so important to
the basket all world is because we can see the
door closing on these guys and the career coming to
an end. And if you can't win an NBA championship,
well hell, you might as well put together all NBA guys,
add for four or five more guys than that, and
(42:16):
then just go win an Olympic gold medal and go
from there.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
So my thought was like, it was fun. It was
fun to see them together. It was really fun seeing
Steph and Katie together again because it brought back those memories.
Lebron hasn't played with either one of those guys. Those
two guys have played with each other before. So that's
what went through my mind, is that, as you said
earlier in the show, you know what change in of
the guard is coming. We had Medino on yesterday filling
(42:42):
in for the odd couple, and he talked about maybe
them going to you know, two or three of the
super names in the league and then really just trying
to fill out a proper team that can compete, which
we kind of don't have to do because at the
end of the day, as you said, right, we just
got bucket getters.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
Four quarter.
Speaker 6 (43:00):
We just have the world's best. Go get you a bucket.
Guy's on planet Earth. As the highlights are up right
now from the game earlier, and you just see everybody
who's touching the ball can go get a bucket and close.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
The game out.
Speaker 6 (43:13):
When you got three or four of those guys out there,
it's just hard, man, But just say a changing of
the guard. We don't We have no idea what this
next Olympic team is gonna see. So it was fun
for me, man. Today's game was a lot more fun,
as I said earlier in the show, than the Serbia
game was. And we were down seventeen this game just
felt like it meant more legacy wise.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
This is That's why I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
It felt sad because I think that this is probably
the last time we see these guys playing basketball of
some serious consequence.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Yeah, unless unless somehow, unless there's some cataclysmic change along
the way.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Like I think, you know, what, did I say that
one of the you know, they said the devil's biggest
trick is convincing you know people that he's not there.
And Andrew Wiggins's biggest trick being the second best player
in the twenty two NBA Finals behind Steph Curry and
getting him that sneaky last ring.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Lebron got the bubble ring. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
I think Kevin Durant is probably done in the ring
category unless there's some changes in Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
This also shows you how hard the NBA is. It's
hard to win, That's what I say. It's very hard
to win in the NBA. That was something that I
took from this.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
But also just watching these guys together playing meaningful basketball.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
What could be for the last time and for the
first time as a unit.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Right, Like most of the time we're used to watching
these guys go against each other, right, whether it be
the Oklahoma City Kevin Durant going into the Golden State Series,
whether it be with Golden State and Kevin Durant and
Steph Curry joined teams, and then we're going against Lebron
in those back to back finals in which KD hit
Lebron in the eye not once, but twice.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Excuse me, sir.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Kind of like Anthony Edwards said that Steph Curry should
have done to the two defenders in front of him,
said you should have pointed him out one after giving
him that work.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
But that was my take. I was like, man, this
is really the end of an era. This is like,
this is something that you end.
Speaker 4 (45:10):
Up seeing like as guys retire or move on to
the next stage, right, like, and this is what this
is an era of basketball?
Speaker 3 (45:20):
Right?
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Would you consider that you had you know, Chamberlain and
Russell and then you had Jordan Right now, this was
the Steph KD Lebron Like last fifteen years has been
about Steph KD and Lebron right plat out like those
have been.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Is there another guy.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
That you can think of in the last fift twenty
and fifteen years that should be like standing next to them?
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Because I can't really think so.
Speaker 6 (45:50):
I mean, it'd be a stretch to maybe say my
man Afrol Reed because he's got a ring and he's
played in some finals. But I just don't, you know,
and take him in that crew as young men.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
That's what exactly like that. Yeah, it's just, yeah, you're right,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
It's because the other because you talk about Kyrie, you
talk about a d They got them with Brown.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Right.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
At least Kevin Duray had gotten to the finals, you
know what I'm saying, ended up losing that finals, but
gotten to that finals. Right, he had gotten that MVP
award before he ever stepped foot with Steph. Right, he
had already gotten the real MVP. You know what I say,
you're the real MVP.
Speaker 6 (46:25):
Two of those guys I would name were at the
game today, and that would be Mellow and Wade.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
They're part of the part. They're part of that era,
but they're already retired.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
That's the era that they're part of where you their
buddies are citing courtside. One of them call the game
got a whole new job.
Speaker 6 (46:42):
That's how I felt about Dirk, Kobe Garnett and Duncan
that's another down era Para Piers. That era when those
guys all started to retire. You knew Dirk. I believe
Dirk was the last one. And when Dirk retired, that
was that was the end of that era. The game
was changing, like it it had gone into a different flow,
(47:03):
a different direction. Even schematically on the floor, it's a
it was a different game. And then, like you said,
you have the Steph era with Lebron and with kd.
That era's now gone. I will tell you what the
interesting thing is is what's next? Like we already know
what's here, we know what's about to go. But my
thing would be what what's next? What what type of game? Well,
(47:26):
the National Basketball Association product wise put on the floor
for US for the next ten to fifteen years. There's
there's Aunt, you got Tatum and Brown, they already got
a ring ant, don't have one. You got Vic, You
got win Byama. So he's another young stud.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
But even though when you stopped to try to playing
for the United States, I don't think, oh, I'm.
Speaker 6 (47:48):
Talking about just what's next, period, and you're talking about
these three guys. Now you're talking about Team USA. Mark,
We're in the dark. We have no idea what that
team's gonna look like in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
We have zero. I think, really, I think we have
an idea. You could give me five guys that's gonna
be on twenty twenty at the top of your.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
Head, Jason Tatum, Anthony Edwards, Bam met At Bio, Anthony Davis,
and Devin Booker.
Speaker 6 (48:07):
I ain't got Bam. I ain't got Bam and I
ain't got I don't have a d on the next
Olympic team. He'll be like, how old, it doesn't matter,
he's wearing, tearing his body, he gets hurt.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Well, I think he'll be on the next Olympic.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
All right, I got you, But I okay, So even
if he's not Tyreez Haliburton or even de White, like,
you know, the guys who were on the bench will
be the guys playing next. And then you know who'll
be filling in on the bench there, probably Jaba Rent,
maybe Cooper Flagg, Paolo Bancaro.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
You know, like, this ain't going nowhere. I don't think
this is going But is Ben Carrol America? Yeah, okay,
I was born in Washington State, I.
Speaker 6 (48:43):
Know, but I thought one of his parents were from
someone cause we see that, right, we see people's parents
maybe from somewhere born.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
He was born.
Speaker 6 (48:49):
He was born in Washington, Okay, yeah, then get Ban
Carrol in the Pacific Northol.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
That'd be really good to see him.
Speaker 5 (48:54):
He's a stuff too, But no, I'm chat Holmgren.
Speaker 4 (48:57):
You know, like, these are guys that in four years
they're gonna be at six year, seven year NBA bad.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
It'll be their league. Yeah, it'll be.
Speaker 4 (49:05):
It'll be in the Tatum Anthony Edwards category of where
we look at them.
Speaker 6 (49:10):
Even if you grab a guy out of this year's draft,
if you grab one of these, one of these.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
Top guys, it flowed out. James. I'm just sure.
Speaker 4 (49:17):
Hey, listen, if you'll pick play minutes in this Olympics,
if you he Santos, if you, if you if Lebron
has any power with Team USA basket Bob, Bryce, Bryce,
and Bro. I'm just saying the guy is powerful and
he likes to put his hands on everything. I'm not
(49:38):
knocking him. If listen, if it was my son had
to be doing the same thing. I've always stood on
that side of the Lebron brownie argument. But in twenty
twenty eight, if if if Bronni is a serviceable NBA player, right,
he's a shooter, he's a defender.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
If if you think lebron ain't.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Got swag and got pulled for Team USA, he's not
going to get his He's gonna get his son on
Team USA.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Come on, man, So that'd be another you know, I got,
I got an other than hat. I got it.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
I thought Anthony Davis was about two years younger than
he is twenty twenty eight, might be a stretchy because
he's thirty, right a thirty thirty.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
Yeah, he'll be thirty, he'll be thirty four going thirty five.
Next Olympics. Yes, still that's tough.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
But I mean, all right, they know Jared's action Junior
Evan Mobley, step on up, big fellas.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
Wow, let's go.
Speaker 6 (50:25):
I said, listen, you're you're you're putting names out there
that I'm I'm squitting my face up a little bit about.
Because these guys, they're they're good players, but talking about
Olympic and I know four years away, we're four years away.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Canadian marriage. Yeah, you know, I didn't know I was
just naming names.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
He was actively playing for the Cadian No, I did
not know that he actually yeah, he actually was, but
was just saying the Olympics for the Canadian national team.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
Mary, you know you.
Speaker 5 (50:52):
Would have thought, hey, I'm learning some stuff.
Speaker 1 (50:54):
At least I named a player that is true.
Speaker 5 (50:56):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
Yeah, that is true in the right direction.
Speaker 6 (50:59):
And shout out to your your home country for grabbing
himself a dust.
Speaker 5 (51:06):
And listen, your head coach at Royal Ivy.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
I know that guy.
Speaker 6 (51:09):
He played a lot of AAU basketball with my nephew
Kendall because they were playing in the DMV area with
Kevin Durant Adam Montgomery County. So when I said, and
I didn't know he was the head coach until honestly
till the Olympics start, I said, hold on, is that
Royal Ivy from University of Texas that used to ball
with DC Assault in Northern Virginia at Washington DC. Look
at that's what sucks, oh man. I just I think
(51:30):
what they're doing to what lou Al Dang is doing
there is just great stuff. So shout out to your
squad too forgetting the doe. We got the gold medal, though,
I mean you didn't have to do that. Well, you
didn't have to tell the world, and my tongue was out.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Whoa toche Steph Steph Curry style game.
Speaker 5 (51:49):
To gilgis Alexander, Hey, they're not like us.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
You're not like that, Alexander. No, I'm laughing at that. Hey,
because that's Ron.
Speaker 5 (51:58):
That's Ron Burg and stay class in San Diego.
Speaker 9 (52:04):
No.
Speaker 2 (52:04):
I mean, I but we're projecting these guys four years
from now. That's that's what the difference is, right, all right.
So like you figure that Drew Holliday will be thirty eight,
Derek Wahda be thirty four, so those probably guys will
be out of there, and B thirty four Anthony Davis
thirty five.
Speaker 1 (52:18):
I should have I own up on that one. I
was off. But I mean I think there's they're still
knowing D knowing B no ad we were ready to
kick and beat off the team next.
Speaker 9 (52:28):
I know.
Speaker 6 (52:28):
So noe B no A D no uh no, Drew.
Drew might not even be in the NBA. I know,
because he didn't thirty eight years old.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
I know.
Speaker 6 (52:36):
But he doesn't strike me as a guy who's gonna
try to milk his NBA career. He just doesn't strike
me as that guy. I think at thirty Okay, so
thirty So he's thirty four. Now I can see him
at thirty six saying, hey, I'm good, I got a championship,
I got a gold medal. I'm okay. I don't have
to I don't have to play this game until I'm
forty one. I don't have to try to suck the
(52:58):
life out of the basketball. I've done what I needed
to do with it. I'm gonna go do some other thing.
He just doesn't strike me as that guy that would
just that would try to hang on and try to
clink on.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
Yeah, But I also think that, like we're over, I
was thinking, like, who's next, Who's gonna be the guy
that's gonna, you know, be taking over this Who's gonna
be the primary scorer?
Speaker 4 (53:17):
And I was thinking he's probably out there right now.
His name is Devin Booker, all right or all right?
Speaker 2 (53:23):
Well, but I mean those two guys going, you know,
all the booker By Booker will be thirty one.
Speaker 1 (53:28):
Yeah, he's still prom Yeah, booker By prompt. So I'll
hang my hat on those two guys.
Speaker 6 (53:32):
Those will be the two the two new stars star
like the vets, the leaders, the guys that have been there,
done it by that time. Hell, who knows, they might
have an NBA Championship to their their credit at that
point and might have an MVP. He's got MVP talent,
he might have an MVP to his name at that point.
I think those will be the next two guys. Listen, man,
(53:53):
the whole Tatum thing. And I'm not saying this is
just trying to make a hot take, which is the
term that you guys all know.
Speaker 1 (53:58):
I hate. I got this really bothering him, I really do.
Speaker 6 (54:02):
And I got him looking at twenty eight saying why
I don't need to I'm not going through what I
went through before.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
Yeah, well, the chances that Jayson Tatum was getting dmpcd's
four years young on the Olympics is none.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
Well, we didn't think it'd be a chance this year.
I mean it happened.
Speaker 2 (54:17):
No, But when you break it down, he's like, Okay,
should I play over Lebron James?
Speaker 1 (54:21):
I play him over Kevin Durant?
Speaker 2 (54:23):
Like no, no, I know, so like but you know
those guys, Willy'll be watching TV just like us, but
not but to not play him.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
I get it. I think Jayson Tatum will be back,
and I think just Tatum would be a big, big,
big time you know, light skin dudes and sense it.
We hold stuff. We're holding this stuff. Let's be honest.
We hold on this stuff.
Speaker 2 (54:40):
Let's be honest though, because we were supposed to have
this and we ended up running over. Do you think
realistically speaking, that Jason Tatum had a major impact on
today's game?
Speaker 3 (54:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (54:49):
When do you play six six and then.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
Raising, raising hell and crying foul? How dare Jayson Tatum
shit the whole game? Oh my god, can't you believe it?
Don't lineup? No, I mean, I tweeted at the time,
Thank goodness Jason Tatum was playing. He's having such an
impact on the game. And then in my threats said, this.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
Is sarcast just in case. Coming up next the hottest
new ticket, the NFL debut. We'll dive into it.

Funny Hammer and Hank Yeah timing in. Here's my twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
Four NFL MVP prediction.
Speaker 2 (56:03):
It will be Patrick Mahomes winning this award and his
Chiefs will become the first team in generations the three.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
Peat as super Bowl champions. Sorry, winer fan, first team
with generations? First team ever? No? Uh, your favorite show
three in a row?
Speaker 2 (56:22):
I think No, No, I don't think first team ever.
I just think first team in Did the Steelers do
three in a row?
Speaker 9 (56:28):
No?
Speaker 2 (56:29):
Dallas got three or four? Or excuse me, yeah that
was got three or four. The Niners got a couple
of back to backs. I think, Man, I can't believe
that's flipping this. I believe, I think, I think it
actually exactly.
Speaker 1 (56:41):
I just quit Google. I was right. Yeah, no team
has three peated in the Super Bowl era. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:47):
The Green Bay Packers win the NFL Championship in nineteen
sixty five and then Super Bowl one and Super Bowl two.
But since then nineteen sixty seven, Yeah, when the Watsons
went to Birmingham.
Speaker 4 (57:00):
That book.
Speaker 1 (57:00):
Yeah Yeah.
Speaker 6 (57:02):
Talking about NFL championships, I think there's been a few
teams that have done it, like three or four because
the Giants, because three in a row. Though I know saying,
but I'm talking about just not Super Bowl, just the
NFL championships.
Speaker 1 (57:14):
I think I think I might have been done before.
But you right, super Bowl. Uh, you got Mahmes win MVP.
That's what Hammer and hankshet. No, No, he's past that.
I think. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
No, oh no, I don't think he's passed going for that.
Mahomes is.
Speaker 6 (57:27):
I think I think Mahomes is a guy that's hey,
let's you know, let's get to our ten, let's get
to our twelve eleven wins, and let's just get into
the postseason. Worry about super Bowls. I'm not worried about
I really do. I feel like he's I'm not worried
about MVPs like he wants to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (57:43):
I'm not saying that he is worried about MVPs, but
I'm not he's not done winning MVP awards.
Speaker 1 (57:48):
You think, Okay, if I had to take the over,
I'd say, if it was set at two.
Speaker 2 (57:53):
And a half for more MVPs for Pastor Mahomes, I
take the over in his career, I'm taking the over
maybe one.
Speaker 1 (58:00):
I might give you maybe one more.
Speaker 6 (58:02):
But you got CJ coming, Joe Burrow, come in, Jordan Love,
Jalen Hurts has been a finalist, and Lamar can win.
The thirty's already got to I just to me, it
just it feels like it. I'm not saying he's not
an MVP caliber player, but I just think he's a
kind of guy that has his eye in him. And
Andy Reid and the rest of Big Red there and Arrowhead,
(58:23):
they just have their eyes like it's Super Bowl or bust.
We're not worried about this individual stuff. We're not worried
about MVPs. You know, Martin, these guys are human beings.
Sometimes they go for the MVP. They won to want
to go win.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
I just don't I hear you.
Speaker 2 (58:36):
But like Tom Brady want an MVP of forty, Aaron
Rodgers won an MVP of thirty eight. Ish is Aaron
Rodgers forty now, so thirty seven, and they won before
that at thirty six.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Aaron Rodgers may want win no more rings, so maybe
he needed them MVPCE.
Speaker 2 (58:50):
The point remains the idea that a guy who hasn't
hit thirty yet, Patrick Mahomes, who's been at the top
of the league for the last four years, five years,
Mahomes has been the top a top the AFC at minimum,
right I did, It's like, it's all right, all right, hammern.
Speaker 1 (59:10):
Hat, I'm with you doing that Super Bowl. I'm not
going against them.
Speaker 6 (59:14):
I've said it before here on Martin vj Any Show,
Off field In on any other podcast I've been a
guest on. I am not taking anybody else until somebody
proves to me, and I hate to say it in
a minute, but until somebody proves to me that somebody
can consistently take out this team, this juggernaut called the
Kansas City Chiefs, I will not bet against them.
Speaker 5 (59:35):
I will not pick against them. When it comes to
the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (59:37):
Somebody's gonna have to beat them in January for me
to believe it could consistently be done. We've seen Burrow
do it, and we've seen Tom Brady do it in
the Super Bowl. But other than that, in the last
four or five years, they are the only two quarterbacks
that can say that, can look at Pat Mahomes sitting
across the table and say, yo, bro, I got you.
I got you on one of them games. I got
you on one of them conference championship games. And Tom
(59:58):
Brady beat them straight up in the Super Bowl. So
and Brady beat him in Arrowhead in an AFC championship game.
So there was only two guys. Man, So somebody else doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Tony Calvin, says Captain Curry, displaying he's the goat raining
it from anywhere, snatching.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
That gold from France.
Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
He really, I mean not that the game, the game,
like I can't remember a time where France led in
the second half of note. But as that game closer
and closer and closer, Steph Curry was like, get the
hell away from us. Yes, you are going to fly
by me as I pumped bake and I take one
(01:00:37):
dribble and shoot a three point layup because those were
layups for him for him, And then he said, you
want to throw two at me?
Speaker 9 (01:00:45):
You know?
Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
You know what I love the most about it, though,
the possession before the possession, before the one that he
had that grenade. Remember, he's one on one trying to
get by, can't get by, kicks it to Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Kevin Durant was like, why are you passing at right back? Steff? Okay?
And then Steph's like, no, man, I'm kind of gassed.
Shoot let me. Stephan's like no, Like, look, I'm tired.
You do something. Durant swings it. Booker drives the baseline
and all of a.
Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
Sudden, it's the entire French team is just like, wait,
where the hell did Steph Curry go?
Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
He's standing at the top of the key. It will
always amaze me how open he can get out. It
always amaze me. It's one of the most beautiful things
in sport. He's the best ability to move without the ball,
his ability to have defenders with the oh no, oh no, yeah,
oh no, What has happened?
Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
I was you were with him for the twenty seconds
of the twenty four on the occlock. Those four seconds
is all he needs. Uh vja I gotta give you
a round of a falls congratulations what I do? It
is nine thirty nine nine on the East Coast, we've
been doing this show now for about an hour and
a half.
Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
Guys, can you guys believe this? That ja I mean,
another round of appause is almost desertated.
Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Let them hear it again, Let them hear it again.
I think I might know where he's going.
Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
I have not had one singular mention of Lebron James
getting dunked on today. As I was about point, actually,
as I was about the clown their group picture, he
had to make sure he sat in the middle on
the floor and it was the center of the picture
when they all had their But I just wasn't in
their mouth.
Speaker 4 (01:02:27):
I would have thought the standale comedian would have been like,
look the second time Lebron was sitting on the floor
to nah nah.
Speaker 6 (01:02:34):
I made it a point to lay off that because
I think it's just better to talk about what Curry.
Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
What Curry did?
Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
I think about what Curry and the dunk on the
dunk on it could have been a charge. And that's
just me being a real dude watching basketball.
Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
If you go and watch, go to the go to
Bleacher Report originally had this initially had this.
Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Go click on their u X page and look at
the two side by sides the one that you can
see Lebron's face. Zoom in on Lebron's face. He has
a look of aw man.
Speaker 11 (01:03:07):
I know, I know what he's talking about. I did
some research on that too. The Laker fan is saying Lebron,
Lebron is like he got it. You can see Lebron
seeing himself get dunked on. It was beautiful and I like.
Speaker 9 (01:03:21):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (01:03:22):
The French player did the whole like Lebron little flex
after like O two.
Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
I was like, I tell you what, the more and
more he does that, the more and more I like it.
I like I that is one of the best celebrations
in sports.
Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
Oh, definitely, because.
Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
It's understated, but it's still like, nah, it's because my
shoulders look like they have built in shoulder pads, so
I will shrug you off of me because I am
forty years old but built like a house.
Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
Also, I just like that.
Speaker 11 (01:03:49):
People if you know you're gonna dunk on someone and
you do their signature, like, you know, celebration against him.
I think that's just poetic poetry in the motion.
Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Well, I give you a history lesson on that. The
very first person to ever really do that was Michael
Jordan Duncan on de Kimbi Mutombo after Matumbo told him
at All Star weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Michael, you never get to me. You never got to me.
You didn't get to me. Michael might a d I
never got you.
Speaker 6 (01:04:13):
And about a week later, Bulls at the Hawks baseline
dunk and looked right at him, and and and as
he's backing up, as he's back pedaling, and he added
Matumbo to the list.
Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
We've got some early reports from some early debuts. But first.
Speaker 4 (01:04:31):
Let's kick it over to Chris Purfet, who's making what
is second or third debut? Second, you don't really have
a second debut. I'll just say second time up.
Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Doing up there.
Speaker 10 (01:04:40):
It's it's in the waking hours at least for most
people are awake this time around. There actually into the
light of semi light of day.
Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
They trust you to do it when people are up. Huh.
Speaker 10 (01:04:50):
I don't know if trust has anything to do.
Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
Was the scheduling Staffoo. There's a lot of people that
take off right before football season.
Speaker 10 (01:04:58):
Fans see how much trust they have before too long.
I seem to have a habit of just making messes
of things. Speaking of actually not the opposite of a mess.
Caleb Williams four for seven ninety five yards in his
debut with the Chicago Bears, a very ballyhooed man best
play coming as he escapes pressure. He found Deandres for
a forty two yard pass. Currently going on right now,
(01:05:22):
we have the Chiefs and the Jaguars in preseason action.
Jacksonville up twenty three to ten. Would you believe that
Kansas Hey has a safety in this game, a safety
and a precias safety in the preseason game. There was
such a thing, yep, But hey, you know we got
rookie you from UCLA. Carson still had a touchdown in
this game. New Orleans at Arizona six zero at halftime.
(01:05:45):
New Orleans up. Marvin Harrison Junior played all of three
snaps not targeted in this game. So we wait to
see the big man from Ohio State to see what
he can do on the field. Some injury news happen here.
Green Bay at Cleveland Packers saw rookie running back Marshawn
Lloyd leave the game with an injury. Dolphins announced earlier
today that they lost backup offensive lineess Keon Smith to
(01:06:08):
cl to tear just brutal to happen.
Speaker 6 (01:06:10):
This time of year, especially when you're trying to restructure
your offensive line. Absolutely, especially when you're trying to restructure
your offensive line.
Speaker 10 (01:06:17):
But moving over to the Olympics, the story we've all
been talking about here ninety eight eighty seven. The final
score team USA taking home gold in men's basketball for
the fifth straight Olympics. Steph Curry twenty four points eight
of twelve from three, putting the crowd to sleep on
that final one, which was just a sky What can
(01:06:39):
I how can I use the word schmid?
Speaker 9 (01:06:40):
It was?
Speaker 10 (01:06:40):
It was to the heavens as it came down. Both
American men and women took home gold in the four
by four hundred medal relay. Quincy Wilson on the men's
side of things, actually was showed on X him wearing
his medal and said, dang, I really have to go
back to school in two and a half weeks. He's
got classes already. Current Olympic medal count as we go
(01:07:02):
into the final day here, USA with thirty eight gold
medals one hundred and twenty two total, trail China by
only one gold medal at thirty nine. There was a
chance earlier at the high jump if American Shane McEwan
shelby mechwan, excuse me, could have split gold with hashmiir
curR of New Zealand, but decided to have a jump
(01:07:24):
off instead and he failed in all three. He takes
home silver.
Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
That's why you take That's why you take the gold.
Speaker 10 (01:07:30):
That's what happened in twenty twenty and an Italian guy
and I know some people say, what that.
Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Jump it was? It was a high. It was a high.
Acolutely know that day and we talked about it.
Speaker 10 (01:07:40):
Yeah, Olympics had out a video of the of the
flashback and they just kind of looked at each other.
It's like, why not, We'll take gold and just topped
each other. Yep, Sportsmanship final. But let's talk about the
real Olympic event that happened here breaking break dancing as
Canadian Phil Wizard Phil Kim of Canada took home gold.
Speaker 6 (01:08:01):
As the most unseasoned dancing I've ever seen him. And
that is that is raisings in the potato salad at
the family cookout.
Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
That is what do they do. That's let me tell
you something. I'm being serious that I'm not joking.
Speaker 6 (01:08:11):
That's disrespectful to the actual like culture of break dancing
that started in the late seventies early eighties that was
integrated in with RAT before RAT was called hip hop.
Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
B boy, you know what I'm saying like this right here,
I know what there's absolutely not.
Speaker 10 (01:08:27):
As the Australian women who tried to do what was
it the Kangaroo dance?
Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
Oh god? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (01:08:31):
But no, I know it's split there.
Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
I know.
Speaker 10 (01:08:33):
I saw iced Ts apparently loves it. Snoop Dogg loves it.
He was there for the whole thing, so split split
opinions on it and unfortunately will not become or fortunately
will not be coming back in twenty twenty eight a
most fuless of all places.
Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
Please good good, oh good? And I want to hear
about Snoop getting being there.
Speaker 6 (01:08:50):
He gets five hundred k or a parents, So I'm
showing up to everything too that I don't care about.
Speaker 10 (01:08:55):
USA soccer took women's soccer took home gold in Paris,
Mery Swan's an early second half goal being the decider there,
overcoming Brazil one nil. Sunday nine thirty am, Eastern USA
women basketball will be playing for gold again against France.
That's actually the last Olympic event before the closing ceremonies
(01:09:19):
Sunday tends to be a little rough for the Olympics
tends to be a little threadbare. And then yeah, and
at the Windom Championship. Updates you here. Max Kucher is
your leader after the second round under twelve shot sixty four,
but Max Greezerman shot sixty on that day and Dodgers
with an early lead over the Pirates. Paul Skeins on
(01:09:41):

Speaker 5 (01:10:33):
All right, let's go It's not like Cookie Monster, that's
who they say.
Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
What humble sounds like. Let's go rapid fire here VJ.
Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
Allright.
Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
Caleb Williams JJ McCarthy, two rookies in the NFC North
both got their first and NFL action earlier today.
Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Dealer's choice, you pick on who you saw first and
what you did see.
Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (01:10:53):
JJ McCarthy, Of course, my guy. I just saw a
guy that I think is going to be just fine
in this league along with Caleb. So can I split?
Can I take the cowards way out on this one
right here? Because I am I'm taking, all right, Well,
I'm not asking, I'm I'm taking. I'm taking. I'm taking
the cowards way out. I thought they both I thought
they both played well. It looked good, Kleeb. You could tell.
You can see his movement, his ability to get away
(01:11:15):
from the rush, get away from pressure. He's gonna be
able to do just well at that. JJ has that too,
but also a guy in the pocket. As I'm watching
one of his deep throws for touchdown right now earlier
in the game, where he just laces a deep ball
up the sideline drops it perfectly over to defenders into
the brad basket of a streaking receiver, and that's what
you want your guy to do. Yeah, interception on the
(01:11:36):
third pass. But then they keep a man, plays a
little longer, throws two touchdown passes. Let me get a
little more eyes on it as it goes on. I
think both these guys are gonna be fine. I don't
think either one's gonna be horrible. I just think that
JJ is set up a little better because of the
weapons and the and the chemistry around him. The Bears
are bringing in a bunch of new pieces and good pieces.
JJ's coming into all the pieces that have already been there.
Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
Well, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
JJ is also not currently on the field, which Kayler
Williams is currently QB one of the depth charts.
Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
So we'll see how about that set up and how
well that it goes.
Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
But right now, coming up next to go ahead and
set up big Pat for a game of who you got? Hey, Hey,
you better brought your gold medal game today, park, Baby,
you better brought your gold medal game.
Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
That's all I got to say. We'll be right back, Martin.
Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Wis vid there, Hussey coming to your life from the
tire rack dot com studios. You can get us on
Twitter with your two cents if you would like. Hammer

spectacular game and salute to USA.

On another as he.
Speaker 6 (01:13:11):
Posted the video of them raising the three flags of first, second,
and third.
Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
Speaking of the game within the game, it's now time
to play who you Got with big pack.
Speaker 11 (01:13:23):
Oh yeah, let's go, all right, everybody, It's time for
these sensations sweeping the nation.
Speaker 5 (01:13:33):
It's time for our very own who you Got? And
with the woo, Martin VJ.
Speaker 11 (01:13:40):
It's been a couple of weeks since we've been doing
who You Got, but we are back and better than ever.
And guys, what has been minus Olympics stuff going on?
What's been the major thing not named Olympics going on?
That's on our TVs right now?
Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Football football, which means what's the theme today? Everybody?
Speaker 11 (01:13:55):
Football is the theme with that. So with that said,
we're going the football team, guys. And with that said,
I'm gonna hit us up with a couple of facts here,
and you guys give me on the who you Got?
So let's start off with hit number one. This man
is a former fourth round pick. He is also a
former All rookie. He made All Rookie for when he
(01:14:17):
was a rookie and made second team All Pro once
in his career. And I'm actually gonna hit you with
a fun fact early, guys, just for little funds of these,
he actually made first team All State in basketball before
he inevitably went and moved over to football. So with
that said, Martin VJ, who you Got?
Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
I mean this qualifies I feel like for so many
different people.
Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
I'm aware that he was going to say, this is
the first is the worst first round of the guess
you've ever given.
Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
Let it cook. Let it cook. There's reasons. Let it cook.
Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
He's a fourth rown pick.
Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
He was on the All Rookie team, second team AP
All Pro, once first team All Basketball.
Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
All right, I got one, go for it. I got
a lugarious need.
Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
No, but I no.
Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
I like that. Good poll, VJ.
Speaker 5 (01:15:05):
What you got for us?
Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Hmmm? All rook fourth round pick, second team.
Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
All Pro, All State in B ball, b ball? What
was good in football? Because he made to the NFL. Yes,
sir oh Man, Well, Antonio Gates. I know that's not no,
but I also love the pole on that. All right,
we'll go into you was a sorry guess, sorry guess.
I love Antonio Gates.
Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
I got you.
Speaker 5 (01:15:31):
Let's go into all right.
Speaker 11 (01:15:33):
I'm not going to give you the college yet, but
I will give you the division they are currently in
right now. College he played for is in the A
C C, where he actually got a scholarship as a
quarterback q B. And if you need one more guess,
just for funzies, I actually have another fun fact. We
(01:15:55):
got three all overall today, just because I'm having fun.
He was actually named one of the fifteen Best Dressed
Players in the NFL by a Squire magazine back in
his career.
Speaker 5 (01:16:06):
It's Esquire, but Esquire whatever, that's so rude.
Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
ACC fifteen best second Team, All Pro, fourth throw pick,
All State ACC as a Q.
Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
And see, here's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
You can guarantee that this guy he got a college
to play quarterback, but you can guarantee that he did
not play quarterback. Otherwise he wouldn't have said that exactly.
And what fourth rownd pick is going to be on
the rookie team?
Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
This is a.
Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
Sels like a receiver, offensive wide receiver or running back,
tight end. It's an offensive skill position player for sure.
So I got that. I got that part of it
down all right.
Speaker 6 (01:16:49):
But it's not a dope tight end because all those
guys are more than second team AP you feel me.
Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
So it's not going to be a dope tight end.
It's got to be like a do you need the
do you need the call? Dallas Clark? No, because who
knows who?
Speaker 3 (01:17:04):
You know? What?
Speaker 5 (01:17:06):
Fine?
Speaker 11 (01:17:06):
Fine, I'll throw you bone because you know I want
to live a little dangerously today. Louisville. He went to Louisville,
Louisville Carrie Road, I got it.
Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
That was easy to me. He'd beat me too. I'm like, oh,
he went with the guy here.
Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
And the reason why I thought that is because we
had Olden poly on the couple yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
That's why, exactly. Yeah. The reason I thought this, honestly,
the only reason I thought this why because of course
carry Rose was the fifteenth best dress.
Speaker 11 (01:17:44):
I was literally telling Mary like an hour ago, I'm like, hey,
remember the old and Polyines thing, like I wonder see,
I know it, I know it.
Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
He was on yesterday.
Speaker 5 (01:17:52):
I wish you guys didn't get that he was on yet, Martin,
I had him while a couple of why I was going,
I'm like, let me cook. I don't even care if
I got it wrong. It's want to see if I
can you even.
Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
Feel excited about that win for us BRO because you
threw it out before I did. But see, I'm not
like the rest of everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
I want to win the gold medal. No, he's disappointed
it too early.
Speaker 11 (01:18:12):
But I'm over here half because I'm like, he might
be just a little mad because he knows the context
of me trying to see if I can get away
with like an olden Paulinie like looking with him.
Speaker 2 (01:18:21):
I tell you what, though, if you had started out
with this guy, went to Louisville and a quarterback scholarship
and then giving out the rest of it, huh.
Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
I don't think I would have got it, that's fair.
I really don't. I don't know if I would have
got it in backwards orders.
Speaker 5 (01:18:33):
It's about it's about it.
Speaker 11 (01:18:34):
It's like when you're eating cereal, you're gonna put it
with cereal, then milk or milking, and cereal of course.
Speaker 5 (01:18:39):
Literally cereal, and then of course I'll hold on hold
wind milk.
Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
In a bowl.
Speaker 9 (01:18:46):
What weird.
Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
Because apparently in Africa they'll put the milk first, heat
it up and then put the cereal.
Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Okay, yeah, see, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
I want you to heat the milk up as something else,
and then so because all your cereals, I was using.
Speaker 5 (01:19:02):
It as an example, I don't do that.
Speaker 1 (01:19:04):
Then I don't do that either. Listen.
Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
I'm the pizza roller, not the milk ceial guy.
Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
And we don't know what you do anymore.
Speaker 5 (01:19:10):
Listen, listen, I'm the pizza roller, but the cereal. No,
I do cereal. The milk I got you.
Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
That's bad.
Speaker 2 (01:19:16):
That's not getting in the tub and then turning the
water on that's backwards his head and they can fill
up around your toes. Let it fill upright and then
and then pour missed the bubbles on your body and
then let the water ride like what oh my, oh,
my goodness, gracious mood.
Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
The way you guys eat sometimes it is just Martin.
Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
Martin eats Cheetos in oreoles together that Franko sing your discuss.
Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
First of all, Jail.
Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
The subject of conversation was what's the weirdest food combination
that you make? And I'll have you know that Jack
Hole right here next to me talks about how he
eats sour.
Speaker 4 (01:20:00):
Cream stream cheese spread on garlic bagels with chicken salad.
Speaker 5 (01:20:04):
Own, it's strawberry cream cheese.
Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
That's what.
Speaker 6 (01:20:07):
A garlic onion bagel with strawberry cream cheese and chicken salad.
Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
Oh, those are all things that by themselves you have
to wonder if you really want it. But when you
combine them all together, the only place that goes is
to the trash can.
Speaker 1 (01:20:20):
Right, That's gotta be the case. Got buds baby coming home? Next?
Speaker 4 (01:20:28):
Who benefits the most in the NBA from the gold
We see some one something after like this, after every Olympics.
Who's gonna be the benefit this time?
Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
Martin Wis's Vija Husky broadcasting live from the tirec dot
com tire iraq dot com. We'll help you get there
with the unmaxed election fast for shippy feriod has a
protection at over ten thousand. Recommended it as dollars tire
rack dot com the way tire buying shoe would be.
And now you know, I know Chris is in his
second updates shift ever, so don't worry. I got you,
(01:21:00):
Caleb Will Caleb I called Caleb w Special Rattler rather
rushing touchdown to put the Saints up.
Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
I'm just joking with you.
Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
I'm just watching this behind the scenes, excited for the future.
I can't even get his name out.
Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 10 (01:21:14):
Tell you what, mate, Spencer Rattler updates here.
Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
He should have seen and Martin's been on him since
he's out there daily. He's been on him since that. Listen.
I've never knocked there. I like the kid.
Speaker 10 (01:21:24):
He was a very sneaky pick for the Saints. I
think we all talked about it around draft time, like
that was a guy who after Oklahoma just kind of
got all manner of hell because of that. QB one
show should be very interesting to see how he develops.
Speaker 6 (01:21:37):
And then Caleb Williams comes along and he gets benched,
and that you know he's got a transfer to South
Caroline after that, you know, it.
Speaker 1 (01:21:43):
Got messed with a kid psyche. But think about it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
He got benched by the guy who eventually went on
to be the best player in college football, evidenced by
the trophy he received. Then was up there again right
then was the number one overall pick. Like, it's not
like you got bench for like Derek White.
Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
I'm just choking.
Speaker 6 (01:22:07):
And Mike White for the Dolphins, you know what I'm saying, Like, no,
it's it's it's good to see that. You know, he
mentally shook and fought out it up because we've seen
players touted highly going to college and then it.
Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
Not work out for them, and it just it's snowballs
from there. They never rebound, They never rebound mentally from it.
Are physical in some aspects sometimes. So I'm listen, I'm
very interested to see what he's gonna look like. We
know his Cars team right now, but they went and
drafted the future and Rattler's supposed to be the guy.
So coming up next after the car, we'll see. So VJ,
(01:22:45):
what up coming up next after car?
Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Well that I bring you down by mentioning him.
Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
No, you can't bring me down because we want to
go medal today. But I want to know who did
you think? Because I remember I said this last year
in the Feeble World Cup, I said, everybody's talking.
Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
About Austin Reeves, Offston Reeves, Austin Reeves, who you need
to be looking at is Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
I was like, that's going to be the guy who
comes out of the World Cup competition and takes his
game to a new level, which he did, advancing to
the furthest he has in the playoffs the Western Conference finals.
Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
So VJ, my question to you this is a hard one.
Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
Well, lucky for you, you have about as much time
as I take to read the question to think about it.
Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
Which NBA player Which one of these superstars?
Speaker 7 (01:23:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
Because when they come back into the NBA, the vast
majority of the players on the team will be the
best players on their NBA team. Right, This whole you know,
fitting in your role is over with, right. Tyre's alib
I have a feely tyres. Tylerberton will get a DMPCD
again for the rest of his life. Neither will Jason Tatum.
But which NBA star takes a step after the Olympics.
(01:24:00):
You don't think I'm crazy, no, because if you say
what I think, You're gonna shay up and be like,
you know what, that was a really good answer.
Speaker 1 (01:24:05):
You don't think I'm crazy. You guys gonna think I'm
crazy on this one. Okay, what is this?
Speaker 6 (01:24:09):
It's the guy who closed the game out today. It's
Steph Curry. I don't it's Steph Curry. You guys gonna
think I'm crazy. It'steph Curry. But let me let me
just let me pay this picture for you. Okay, Steph
Curry last few years, other than the Boston Championship year,
last few years, it's been tough for him, right, and
Draymond has, you know, decided that he was gonna sit
on this podcast and actually take shots at his own
(01:24:31):
coach and the rotations and things of that nature. And
I think what Steph did today was to show people that,
oh yeah, when we get back, I'm like, I'm still
that guy. I'm still the guy who can go out
here and just light up thirty five forty like it's nothing.
Lebron is a paint player now he is Lebrono get
(01:24:54):
hot from the perimeter from time to time.
Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
He is not a consistent jump shooter. Steph is still
a consistent jump shooter. Still runs well, but at the ball.
Still has good young legs, not young ladies, but still
has younger legs. And I can look at her as
oldest arrest of them, thirty six years old. Well, no,
well thirty six isn't thirty nine going on forty? Just
just let me land younger, let me land. I'm looking
down this list here, holiday no Aunt Edwards.
Speaker 6 (01:25:20):
I think, like I said, nine minutes today, that's what
he played today in the gold medal game, nine minutes.
When he goes back, I think will kind of expect
him to be what he was kind of last year.
But there's some flux in Minnesota right now, so we
don't know what Minnesota is gonna be. Anthony Davis, well,
we know what he is is gonna be second fiddle
to Lebron bam Adebayo. Now we know Jimmy Buckets is
(01:25:41):
the guy down there. Tatum already has a championship. And
that's not to say Curry Curr's got four him. I
know that, But as I'm just looking down this list,
as far as the way guys played, as far as
the way this tournament shaped up, as far as the
way it closed off the day, If the question is
who benefits most in the NBA of these guys going
back into the NBA season, it's got to be Steph
(01:26:03):
Curry that that would That would be my answer.
Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
I'm curious to see who you would say. I don't
got it being embiid Lebron. We know what Lebron is.
Speaker 4 (01:26:13):
We know it's the interesting case for Embid quickly, not
that I don't think it. I do not think it
will be him. Okay, but this is the first time
that I can think of in his career that he's
been surrounded by winners or really won anything of that.
Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, no, you're right.
Speaker 4 (01:26:29):
Didn't win in college. When he got to the NBA,
they were actively losing. Yep, they were they were taking
right yep.
Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
And has an advanced past the second round of the playoffs.
This is the first time he was in a championship
game of any sort. The Kawhi shot on the rim
against that was second round. I thought, yeah, I thought
it was conference I thought it was conference finals. I
always feel I always feel like in b was like
that was the one year he's right on the cusp.
Maybe it was second round a while ago. I can't remember,
no better than anybody else.
Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
But no, you're right about him.
Speaker 9 (01:26:57):
Bid.
Speaker 6 (01:26:58):
This was the first time he would surrounded by winner,
so he would be he'd be higher on my list
than Nope, But I don't use eleven minutes today, oh
for one from the field. No, man, I'm gonna go
with Steph because I think Steph can carry this, and
I'll preface him by saying it like this, Martin, He's
the guy I think can carry what he just did
(01:27:18):
and back into the NBA and his team needs it
most because remember, Clay's not there no more. I'm gonna
call him play. I'm gonna call him play is in
Dallas now, So Steph really can't. I don't want to
say afford a drop off because I don't think he'll
have one. But if there's anybody that can take Hey,
you just saw it. I just did against the World
(01:27:39):
in the gold medal game. I just closed them out.
It's time to now go do it. It kind of
reminds me like Kobe and the redeem Team, right, Kobe
closed out Spain and then took that to the Lakers
and you blink and they're in three straight finals. Now,
I don't think that that's what the ghost they were
to do, because there's an age different thing in there.
Speaker 1 (01:27:57):
But for this.
Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
Specific question, who benefits the most of the NBA from
Team USA? Just the way he played the last two
games and closed his tournament out and taking that back
to a team that's lost his running mate and now
probably has got to do a little more even though
they got some younger pieces there. You see the story
Kamingo once a two twenty or two thirty next contract,
Like it's a lot going on there.
Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
So Steph, Steph's my answer some sticking with it. Who
you got I thought?
Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
See My initial thought was I thought, I thought you
were gonna really throw a curveball there? Uh, Steph, I mean,
Steph can't. I don't know what next level Steph can
get to. I don't, like I said, I think there's
one more for Steph. I think he's got one more
level in the markin I did.
Speaker 1 (01:28:35):
We shall see I'm not. I wouldn't bet on it.
Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
But this is what I was thinking as we went
through this, as you went through that steph soliloquy, the answer,
the answer is Victor Winbin Yama. You said from team USA,
though I would have said Vince I know, but I
was saying. But I realized as I asked the question, Oh,
it's not fair. I'm not trying.
Speaker 4 (01:28:58):
I wasn't trying to Oki though, granted, but as question
who benefits the most in the NBA from team USA,
I'm saying now I didn't say from team USA, beating
that ass on what it is from.
Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
The Basketball Olympics. It's Victor Win. It's Victor absolutely. But
I was going on, yeah, I was, I'm not trying
sand Beger.
Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
It came to me as you were talking, Victor Winvin
Yama is likely the answer here. I think Anthony Edwards
has a good shot because he already had reached that
pinnacle of the Western Conference final as at twenty three
years old, just turned twenty three recently. Now again a
guy who I mean, Rudy Gobert, you know, had never
won anything of note, never won anything of note.
Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
So like we talked about guys surrounded by winners, Anthony
Edwards was not also like the kind of the same
kind of concept as embiid right when he's moving through this,
and he's also knows what it feels like to get
to that conference final and run out of gas, right,
So now he sees that. So now he's watched how
Lebron practices, watches how KD practices, and see these guys
going full speed all day every day, and I wonder
(01:30:06):
how much that influences him. But when we saw Victor
webbin Yama leaving the floor in tears after being consoled
by Kevin Durant, my two thoughts. First of all, my.
Speaker 4 (01:30:18):
God, how much taller is Victor Winbinyama that Kevin Durant,
who is the tallest person on Team USA.
Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
Right when you look at the picture, kd's head is
the tallest one. You know, he ain't got no hair
to boost it. So KT's head was the tallest one.
And did you see him Victor webbin Yama.
Speaker 4 (01:30:36):
Is basically putting his hand on top of KT's head
like I can't hear you, hold on, let me come
down there, right. But then when he was walking off
at Floort in tears. I was like, damn, all right,
he's gonna remember this. He's gonna remember this.
Speaker 6 (01:30:51):
Bran will win a gold medal at some point in
the next two Olympics. Remember Argentina stole one. Argentina got
in there when they had Manu in that crew man.
They got in there, gold medal.
Speaker 1 (01:31:01):
Out of out of the world as far as it goes.
Speaker 6 (01:31:03):
But yeah, if the is the Olympics, they'll find Well,
the way Tony Parker, the way Tony Parker is funneling
them into the league right now, the way he's running
that that program out there in France, they'll find one.
If there's one Frenchman that I can trust to find
a French point guard, it's Tony Parker. But if you're
asking over the whole Olympics, absolutely it's Victor winbin Yama.
(01:31:25):
It's it's nobody else. Like these other guys are solidified.
These other guys, like I said lebron ad durrant step,
I just took step because the question said team USA
and coming off of the Serbia game, coming off the
game becaus they against France.
Speaker 1 (01:31:39):
Yeah, that's the guy. I'll go with that.
Speaker 6 (01:31:40):
They can take that back to uh Golden State. Some
of these other guys got so many questions on their
team other than Tatum. Right, we know the Celtics are
defending champions and white with the Celtics defending champion like there,
there's they got guys that are gonna be solidified and
plugged already in uh to the squad and be's gotta
with a new cast of characters. Canra Durant's got to
(01:32:02):
play with a new cast of characters. We already know
what the Lakers are with Ad and lebron So and
then of course look at the heat. What's really going
on there? Are they gonna try to move off with
Jimmy Butler? Are Jimmy Butler had satisfied there? You know
they tried to get Dame that didn't work. So yeah,
if it's for all of Olympics, is Victor winbin Yama?
(01:32:22):
You look at his time today on the court, thirty
minutes eleven and nineteen three or eight from the three
point land seven boards to go along with his twenty
six points. I mean the guy did he didn't do
much to stop him and the shots he missed they're
good shots. Like he didn't there's there's not a guy
in the league that could contest his jumper. There's not
a player in basketball.
Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
That could contest his Maybe bowl bo as far as
his length and stuff is lymten heights, but front them first.
Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
Yeah, exactly, that's the thing too.
Speaker 6 (01:32:51):
So yes, if you're talking from the entire tournament, give
me victor Winbinyama also a quick cyber on or some
of these other countries I was. I thought it was
very underwhelming the way some of these other countries and
their and their NBA stars play. Canada's one that comes
to mind.
Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
Greece.
Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
Greece was really disappointing. Greece was actually really really disappointing.
Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
I thought that and nobody else I thought they would have.
Speaker 6 (01:33:17):
But I'm thinking Jannice cauld at least carry you to
the I think Janice is good enough to get you
at least to the And we say anybody else, I don't.
They don't have any others of like major NBA stars.
They have some good international players, but I thought Jannics
can get them to the final four. You got a
guy that good, former MVP, two time Defensive Player of
the Year, NBA champion.
Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
I thought he was good enough to carry him a
little further than he did. That's all.
Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
Yeah, I wasn't surprised to see them go early. When
you don't have guard playing, you don't have bigs, I
don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:33:46):
What you card to compete and trying to almost beat
frans too like it's been. It was a weird basketball
turn Japan. Excuse me, thank you? Trying to did not qualify?
Speaker 1 (01:33:57):
Yeah, my bad, My bad, My bad, My bad. Yao,
fans out there, don't get mad. Don't get mad at me,
y'all ming fans, you know, Okay, So just quickly it's
two seconds.
Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
Uh, Mario was asking me who I thought was the
most popular like basketball players of all time? Where does
y'all ming rank in terms of the most popular basketball
players of all time? Because of me, it's got to
be in the top five popular, not a but not buility,
No popular, He's definitely probably. You know what, that's a
hard one because top four because if you're adding if
(01:34:30):
you're adding his home country, if you're adding those votes
in that that that that that that.
Speaker 4 (01:34:35):
Tends to balance got to be billions over billion people
in China, So they're not gonna pick anybody else.
Speaker 1 (01:34:42):
When she asked me.
Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
I said, Michael Jordan, Lebron, James, and y'all ming Michael
Jordan over Kobe. Of the most three most popular basketball players,
if they walked in the room right now, who's getting
immediately recognized for exactly who they are? I think those
three guys are probably the most RECOGNI things shack. I
think I would put Shack over. Yeah, I mean worldwide.
(01:35:03):
But once again, China has over a billion people. So
if China is allowed to vote, of course it's gonna
it's gonna dwarf.
Speaker 6 (01:35:10):
Yeah, it's gonna dwarf the no. I don't have y'all
mean that hot no, I could give me, give me
Jordan's shack, probably Lebron because of Jordan's shack Lebron or
you can interchange like Kobe if you wanted to there,
But those to me, would be as far as walking
the room recognizable. Everybody shacks on thirty commercials.
Speaker 5 (01:35:30):
Dennis Rodman is literally oh yeah, Dennis Rodman for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:35:35):
I wonder how many people recognize Dennis rob Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:35:38):
That's internationally. He's the ambassador for North Korea.
Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
I mean, just so you know, that's not it's not
a great thing. Vacation, not exactly, but it was so
much bigger right of your career.
Speaker 4 (01:36:02):
Guys, if Kim Jones, Kim Jong ill, if he knows
who Dennis Rodman is, like come on, I mean, but
Kim Jong un.
Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
Now, but.
Speaker 1 (01:36:13):
He knows who the story is. He watched the bulls.
He watched the ninety six bulls, and that's how he
knows them.
Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
But like again, it's not like, you know, there's a
lot of you know, voting infrastructure going on to the
same right now.
Speaker 6 (01:36:30):
We also remember Lebron said he thought he was famous
until they went to Beijing and he went out with
Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 1 (01:36:36):
Lebron say it goes.
Speaker 6 (01:36:37):
I thought I was famous until we went to the
Olympics in Beijing and I went out with Kobe. He said,
I saw a whole different that's all the different world.
Speaker 2 (01:36:46):

Speaker 4 (01:38:01):
Man dedicated oh your boy, your boy. Benny said that
Aussie break.
Speaker 2 (01:38:08):
The answer was a national embarrassment and the best way
to ensure the sport doesn't return to the Olympics. Also
the battle between JJ McCarthy and Sam Donald will be interested.
Speaker 1 (01:38:16):
Well, Ben, let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (01:38:17):
Your best American pal over here at VJ was calling
Sam Donald just about everything but a child of God.
Speaker 1 (01:38:24):
In the last commercial BREAKJ your thoughts, Yeah, Benny is
my guy? Come on hey, by the way, good night Mike.
Speaker 2 (01:38:31):
Without Benny, first of all, Benny's on truck, it is
gonna be interesting.
Speaker 5 (01:38:35):
But at the end of the day, there's just not
a world that you're telling me.
Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
If JJ proves himself that he could be competent as
a rookie starting quarterback, that's who they're going with, as
simple as that. If listen, if Sam Donald was locked
in as the QB one, he would not have played today.
He would not have played today if he was locked
in as the QB one, Benny. So I'm definitely. I'm
definitely with you this one. I gotta get in real quick.
(01:39:00):
Know what we want to try to get charge charge of.
Speaker 1 (01:39:03):
Mars is listening. He loves me. I love him that.
Speaker 6 (01:39:05):
Charles Limer says that Big Meal funny y'all talking about
twenty Olympics. Look out for my man d l two
down here in Dallas. Derek yeah, I could see that.
Speaker 1 (01:39:16):
I can see that too. That's a good one because.
Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
You need length, you need activity on the boards, you
need rebounding, and he shot blocking.
Speaker 1 (01:39:22):
He could play the Anthony Davis. Uh Anthony Davis role.
Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
Yeah, tweet Charles Hey, nice one, Charles all right, right
now coming on to play the role of baseball analyst.
Speaker 1 (01:39:31):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
He's got his own theme music to Mars. Jay Morris,
MLB bro content reporter to Mars, how are you, my friend?
Speaker 9 (01:39:38):
I'm good? Feelas I'm good? So my bucks get a
nice little win.
Speaker 4 (01:39:41):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (01:39:42):
Something I was it on the gold medal day. He's
talking about the Buccaneers free season football.
Speaker 5 (01:39:50):
I'll tell you about them, bumb ass bucks something.
Speaker 1 (01:39:52):
Don't bring them up, man, I got you, Florida man.
Yeah right, okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
So but to Mars, let me ask you you said,
because let's play all the carton back a little bit.
Sometimes Lamar j Will send us questions because it's, you know,
says to what he wants to answer. It's what the
information he wants to get out there into the world.
I had all I had to preface that one before
asking this. You say the White Sox are positioning themselves
(01:40:23):
to have a major improvement next season.
Speaker 9 (01:40:27):
Maybe not exactly next season, but I think listen, I
love the Grady Sizemore signing.
Speaker 1 (01:40:32):
Okay, I love the gratty.
Speaker 9 (01:40:33):
I'm excited to see what he can do. What if
I say when I come on you guys the show,
I always talk about culture, a successful teams culture. When
I seen them come back against the Cubs yesterday, that
showed me a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
Man.
Speaker 9 (01:40:43):
It shows me they're already buying into what he's selling.
They already got respect for him. And when you got
players who respect you and they're buying into what you're selling,
they're gonna go above and beyond. They're gonna stay in
the fight. They're gonna you know what I'm saying, They're
gonna keep competing. They're gonna go hard. So I think,
you know, I think they could turn things around in
the next couple of seasons that Grady tinna change that culture.
Speaker 1 (01:41:03):
Hey, DeMar Jay, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (01:41:04):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (01:41:04):
Vij browns Gey, how you doing? Player?
Speaker 3 (01:41:06):
I'm good, brows a little man.
Speaker 1 (01:41:07):
He good?
Speaker 5 (01:41:09):
Yeah, awesome, all right, So let's go to our division.
Speaker 6 (01:41:12):
You and me, we were both are al West guys,
me being a Rangers defending World Ships champion, you're angels,
but you want to talk about the Mayor Nerds and
it seems like that they don't want to win this division.
They have now fallen the second place half of the game,
behind the Astros. But calling up one of their top
pitching prospects, man, fill us in on this guy and
tell us why this is a big deal and what
(01:41:33):
do you expect from it.
Speaker 9 (01:41:36):
Yeah, so, Troy Taylor, I've only seen him pitch twice.
I've actually seen him pitch twice. I've seen a bunch
of highlights and clips, but actually watched these games twice.
And he's nice, man, He's nice, has a nice fastball,
nice slider. Fastball can get up to about ninety eight.
He killed it in the minors. And I think if
he can get some playing time come postseason, that'd be
(01:41:57):
good experience for him. And I think just any playing
time up until postseason would be good experience for him.
And who knows what kind of role he will have
for this team next year. Obviously, you can never have
too many arms. Their rotation is solid, but as far
as yeah, the rotation is solid, as far as the bullpen,
you know, you can always use a little help. So
I think he could be effected there because he's not
going to be in the rotation, so he'll make a start,
(01:42:18):
but I expect him to be in the bullpen, So yeah,
I'm excited for him. I think I think he'll be
a solid player. All right, boy shut out fifty one
batters in like thirty five innings, so yeah, some nasty stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:42:28):
All right, DEMARJ.
Speaker 2 (01:42:29):
The Dodgers out here, LA's preremier team has been struggling recently,
five and five in the last ten and don't look now,
but those San Diego Padres are gaining on them in
the National League West, only two games back, seven game
win streak, Jackson Merrill with clutch hit after clutch hit
after clutch hit, DAMARJ.
Speaker 1 (01:42:50):
Are the Dodgers going to be a wild card team?
And is the reason why in San Diego?
Speaker 3 (01:42:56):
I think so?
Speaker 9 (01:42:57):
And look, I've been high on the Padres for what
about a month to have maybe a month now, you know,
I first started talking about, Yo, the projects can get
it together, so they can make it. They could be
a problem, and hey, they're looking like a problem right now.
But yeah, they're dangerous. They got bet, they got everything.
They got bad solid defense, and they were doing this
without Joe Muskro. They were doing this without you, Darvish
Bogarts was missing time. They haven't had tatis. So if
(01:43:20):
they can get those guys back, hey the saying, watch.
Speaker 6 (01:43:24):
Up, damar j Right now, when you just go down
to the standings and you see the power teams that
we're getting close to where things are going to kind
of start to get more concrete. And I go and
out look at the Phillies and I watched a few
of their games in the last couple of weeks, and
there's not a time this year I look and I go, yeah,
maybe they can do it. I'm starting to lean to
(01:43:46):
the side of a al or NL. You guys better
be watching this Phillies team that has come up short
the last few years, right, great teams they've had gotten
to the World Series and just lost. But now it's
like they might be able to shut the door. Do
you feel that way too when you look at the
Phillies or the Yankee is still there for you?
Speaker 2 (01:44:03):
The Orioles, maybe the Guardians? Who is And then mar
just told you told you about the Dodgers and the Pojecs.
But other than the Dodgers and Parties, the other top teams,
who's a team I don't want the team that might
I want the team you look at and say, oh no, no, no,
they they're contenter, they can they can hold the trophy
this year.
Speaker 9 (01:44:20):
Yeah. So yeah, it was the Phillies for me. It's
been the Phillies for me. I mean it still is
as of right now, I'm looking at I know, I've
been all.
Speaker 3 (01:44:28):
Over the place.
Speaker 9 (01:44:29):
It's hard, man, It's a long season.
Speaker 3 (01:44:30):
You know.
Speaker 9 (01:44:30):
What I'm saying is the teams are up and down.
So but right now I'm looking at the Ashos, Man,
they're playing.
Speaker 1 (01:44:36):
A lot there.
Speaker 9 (01:44:36):
They finally got it together than clicking a little bit,
they got decent pitching. You know, you get Blanco and
Franber out there for the first two games. If are
Geddy can you know, can do his thing. Obviously I
don't expect thirteen k's, but he can. Obviously he can
get you six, seven, eight k's. He could rack them up.
So I'm looking at the Ashows to possibly make a
run in the AAR. I gotta go with the Yankees
(01:44:58):
still for the al right now, but I mean.
Speaker 4 (01:45:00):
Towards the Astra was just about to ask you about
the Yankees. Garrett Cole had ten strikeouts today, ended up
not mattering. I shouldn't say not mattering because it ended
up not resulting in a Yankees win. But on a
ninety pitch limit, ten strikeouts, Garrett Cole seems to be
right in order. I mean, thirty sixty three strikes on
ninety pitchers.
Speaker 9 (01:45:21):
Yeah, that's the Formosa young from last season. So and
this is what he's done his whole career, you know,
high performance pitcher player, been one of the best in
the game for a couple of years now. So I
just want to see Luis he'll get back to what
he was doing earlier, obviously. Want to see this offense
keep it going, put up runs. Hopefully, Judge don't go
on another drought. He was injured when it happened, but
(01:45:43):
hopefully he doesn't go through another struggle. Don't look like
it though. My man's on fire. But yeah, Yankees, they
still got a shot man. They still got a shot
Nester Nessor has been pitching well his last couple of outs,
So yeah, I like the Yankees, all right.
Speaker 6 (01:45:56):
I got to poke a little fun at you, man,
because you was talking them Reds last lat year and
Mari was talking to Reds last year because we had
win bet with the root Crew and they're falling all
the way down to the last place in their division.
Speaker 1 (01:46:07):
What happened to the Reds?
Speaker 9 (01:46:09):
They're just so inconsistent, man, Like, I really can't gauge
this team that look good for a couple of stretches.
The win to lose three, win three, lose three is
just they're so up and down, offensive, sporadic everywhere, there
is no consistency, and they haven't been able to put
those complete games together where everything's clicking. We're all facets
of the team's clicking, defenses on point, the starting pitchings
(01:46:30):
on point, the rotations coming in, shutting the lineup down,
the bats are on fire. They haven't been able to
put too many of those games together. And obviously, if
you can't do that then yet you're gonna have these
up and down stretches during the season. So they'll probably
be making some more moves, though, you know, they've had
to cut these Some of these guys have been together
for about three years now, so they might be making
some more changes down to Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (01:46:52):
All right, DeMars.
Speaker 2 (01:46:53):
We're talking here with Demarjay Morris, MLB Bro content reporter.
Speaker 1 (01:46:56):
You check all all of his work out at.
Speaker 2 (01:46:59):
Mlbbro dot com and the surrounding social media accounts that
go with it. Paul Skiings, themar Jay has been lights
out but right now getting knocked around by the Dodgers.
Only went five innings or five and the third innings
with five hits and three walks in this last outing.
Speaker 4 (01:47:19):
I am not NLT not saying we need to be concerned.
Yet at what point do we need to be concerned?
Speaker 2 (01:47:27):
How much more of this has to happen for Paul Skins,
because I mean coming out before the first half of
the season, he's pitching, you know, seven innings straight, eight
innings not you know, no no strikeouts, I mean shutout innings. Like,
do we need to be concerned about Paul Skiings going
forward and like a second half rookie slump.
Speaker 9 (01:47:47):
No, No, he'll be fine, Like you said, it's just
the rookie things. You know, he's just going through a
Dodgers have been struggling, but they still got some tough bets.
You know, that's still a tough lineup. So we got
to admit that, but he'll be okay. You know, his
stuff is nast he'll be good. He's figuring things out,
you know, like he said in the when he was
in the minors, he was learning how to just figure
out batters, how to utilize certain pictures and just figure
(01:48:08):
out batters and just be effective or as effective as
he can with his pitches. So he'll keep learning and
growing and developing in the league, and he'll be okay.
At some point, they might want to think about shutting
them down though, you know, because I don't think they're
going to make it in so they might want to
end up shutting them down real quick. I'm in the
we're in the n L. The Diamondbacks man suff for
some injuries tonight. They lost Marte and a Gallant, so
(01:48:29):
we got to look out for that. That's what four
injuries in the last six games, I think. So things
aren't looking good for the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
Diamondbacks were hot in a couple of ways ago that
we're kind of creeping up on the NL West. But
like I said, padres right down two back of the
Dodgers who are leading the Pirates right now.
Speaker 1 (01:48:46):
But we'll see how that one ends up.
Speaker 6 (01:48:49):
Padres catch Dodgers, yes or no, Yes, Rangers get to
out of the six and a half hole. Am I
shutting it down for the year and just enjoying the
world sers fro last year.
Speaker 9 (01:48:58):
Shut it down for the year andelsi'stcha, I'm yeah, I'm
fine with that.
Speaker 2 (01:49:03):
Let's ring still shines, the rinks still shine. That is
the quote that I'm sure all the gold medalists are
saying right now. The gold still shines. Themar Jay you
still shine. Thank you very much for joining us on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 9 (01:49:18):
Thank you, appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (01:49:19):
Appreciate your brother Mantonical Cars and said, what up.
Speaker 2 (01:49:22):
Appreciate you man, Thank you for coming on the show.
We'll have you on next week at the same time.
Right now, let's kick it over to Chris Perfect for
everything trending in the world of sports.
Speaker 1 (01:49:33):
Chris Spencer Rattler. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 10 (01:49:36):
Go ahead, No, we could talk about Spencer Rattler with
the rushing touchdown. We could, we could, or we could
talk about your new leader in the Al East. Just
final Baltimore Orioles seven over the Tampa Bay Rays. Texas
Rangers and the Yankees split a doubleheader earlier and now
has allowed Baltimore to go to the top. I'm sure
that'll keep flip flopping here as we come down the stretch.
(01:49:58):
Seattle trying to keep pace after Houston's five to four
win over the Boston Red Sox day It's currently three
to nothing Seattle in the fourth inning. But the big
story from the Olympics ninety eight eighty seven, and for
the fifth straight time, team USA men's basketball has taken
home gold and largely came from Steph Curry twenty four points,
(01:50:20):
eight of twelve shooting from three. Those last four shots
are probably going to go down in the history books
of Martin and VJ. Just unbelievable shots all around. The
final day of the Olympics coming up on Sunday, USA
women's basketball playing for gold against France nine thirty am
Eastern Time.
Speaker 1 (01:50:37):
Tip off.
Speaker 10 (01:50:38):
There, What are you thinking, guys? You think the women's
can get the gold medal?
Speaker 1 (01:50:43):
Spoiler alert, they've already won it. Yeah, that's right. I
think they're already printed up. They've already won it. They
already got their names on it. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 10 (01:50:51):
Kind of like, who was it for the for the
Olympic floor final?
Speaker 1 (01:50:56):
Chiles?
Speaker 10 (01:50:57):
Who got moved to Jordan Chiels, Yeah, got moved to fifth,
got moved to fifth. Did you see this Martin?
Speaker 2 (01:51:03):
That like it was?
Speaker 1 (01:51:04):
They're ridiculous. They're their appeal.
Speaker 10 (01:51:07):
Which originally put them to third, that is now saying
they came two seconds too late. So she got moved
back down to fifth. And will, I guess, have to
surrender the bronze medal.
Speaker 1 (01:51:18):
I saw him reading the story. They might give them
both the bronze medal. Do you appeal? You get a
minute to appeal after the scores come out.
Speaker 4 (01:51:24):
So my question is this, what the hell are you
doing for sixty seconds outside of throwing the Red Talents
flag where it takes because they said it came out
four seconds after the fact.
Speaker 1 (01:51:33):
Throw the flag?
Speaker 10 (01:51:35):
Yeah, stop watching the replay. Just throw it already, just
to just to be safe. What's what's the downside?
Speaker 3 (01:51:40):
Right?
Speaker 10 (01:51:40):
You're gonna you're gonna lose a time out for challenging
the IAC.
Speaker 4 (01:51:43):
These gymnastics folks clearly don't watch baseball.
Speaker 1 (01:51:46):
Don't you know any play? And late ain't seventh inning
or later.
Speaker 4 (01:51:50):
You just do the thing, cover your ears and tell
the umpires to go look at it anyway?
Speaker 1 (01:51:54):
Who cares? You know what else.
Speaker 2 (01:51:56):
They could take that bronze medal and shove it anyway,
because there was one app that showed that they His
is tarnishing already.
Speaker 1 (01:52:03):
I don't know if you guys seen them.
Speaker 2 (01:52:04):
Yeah, there's an athlete that's shown he did a video
after two days of halving it.
Speaker 1 (01:52:07):
It's tarnishing. It's turning on him.
Speaker 10 (01:52:10):
Well, yeah, as someone who keeps ironware, it is bronze,
and you do have to kind of keep that stuff
pretty well, taking care of it's.
Speaker 1 (01:52:17):
It's like seventeen minutes old.
Speaker 10 (01:52:21):
You know how long it was in storage though. Yeah, hey, hey,
i'd have questions about the warehouse there.
Speaker 1 (01:52:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:52:29):
USA women's soccer also won Golden Paris. Mallory Swanson early
second half goal being this sider there you were talking
about Dennis Rodman earlier, Trinity Rodman being one of the
consequential goals that got the US to the metal match
here against Brazil. NFL preseason, we had three rookie quarterbacks
in action. Four if we count Spencer Rattler, Caleb Williams
(01:52:50):
debut shoe.
Speaker 1 (01:52:51):
We count Spencer Rattler. He's a quarterback.
Speaker 10 (01:52:53):
He talk count Spencer Rattler. You want me to go
back and Adam back. Yet you want me to say
Spencer Ratler again.
Speaker 1 (01:52:58):
If we're talking about rookie quarterbacks, that's all I got
to say.
Speaker 10 (01:53:01):
Might be even more than four. I'm mostly just focusing
on the three who were the you know what. Let's
call it like this first round rookie quarterbacks in action today.
Caleb Williams four of seven, ninety five yards, Bears thirty
three to six over the Bills. Minnesota rookie JJ McCarthy
getting put through the work eleven to eleven of seventeen,
passing for one hundred and eighteen yards, two touchdowns, one interception.
(01:53:25):
He got the interception out of the way early on
and kept sailing through that. We didn't see much Jade
and Daniels. He only had two for three played one series,
but he had posted forty five yards and scored a
touchdown on the ground on a quarterback keeper three yards
rushing touchdown. Jets won that preseason game twenty to seventeen.
If anyone is keeping score of who wins preseason games,
(01:53:45):
does anyone care besides gamblers at this point? No?
Speaker 1 (01:53:48):
I care?
Speaker 3 (01:53:49):
You care?
Speaker 6 (01:53:49):
So, yes, because a wins a win. It's about mentality.
It's about morality. It doesn't mean anything for the regular season.
But when you're walking off that field and you got
a dubb, I don't care what it is in football.
It feels good and that's what you want going into
a locker room and going to sleep and waking up
the next day knowing, hey, we got to get back
at it.
Speaker 1 (01:54:07):
But that was a good win. Yes, sday, Yes it
does matter.
Speaker 10 (01:54:09):

Brown suffered a Sterno clavicular joint dislocation and is currently
in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (01:55:08):
That's not good. That is not good at all. No,
you don't think so. No, you don't think that's a
good You don't think that's a good day.
Speaker 4 (01:55:16):
No, Sterno covlicular's hearing. He's being assts I am, but
he's been.
Speaker 2 (01:55:24):
He's comparing with the Tyreek Hill's shoulder injury. Andy Reid
is from twenty nineteen, which caused him to miss four games.
Hopefully a quick recovery for him and Andrey Thomas. I
saw a broken arm earlier day in a preseason game.
Speaker 4 (01:55:36):
Speaking of these preseason games, Andy Reid does it, the
Miko Ryans does it. Athy Reid one of the best
coaches in the NFL. The Mico RAN's one of the
hottest young coaches in the NFL. Is the rest of
the league getting it wrong? We'll get to that coming
up next. Martin wis Vida Husky on Fox Sports Radio.

It's a hot dog of sandwich.
Speaker 4 (01:56:11):
No, I'm just kidding the age old question answers, No,
I agree hot dogs are hot dogs?
Speaker 2 (01:56:17):
Have some decorum people. You've never heard somebody say, hey,
will you make me a sandwich? And they brought you
a hot dog?
Speaker 1 (01:56:22):
Aver? Who calls it a sandwich? I was making a
catch bad.
Speaker 5 (01:56:28):
I'm sorry it was.
Speaker 1 (01:56:29):
It was supposed to be a one off, not a topic.
Speaker 5 (01:56:31):

What you got?
Speaker 3 (01:56:45):
Mark?
Speaker 1 (01:56:45):
Look at what? Let's go. Let's let Mark. Let's let
Mark do his thing. You should you shit our start
your starters in preseason games?
Speaker 6 (01:56:52):
It depends on who it is, man, Really, it depends
on who it is some starters. Some starters need a
little work. But my my f fifty something million.
Speaker 2 (01:57:01):
Dollar quarterback, Hey, no, my thirty five million dollar receiver,
my twenty eight million dollar corner and rush in hell.
Speaker 1 (01:57:13):
No, if you listen once you get to it.
Speaker 6 (01:57:16):
In my opinion, year four or five in the NFL,
and you a stud, like you're a guy, you're a beast.
You don't need preseason work, okay, And nowadays it's just
too dangerous because they don't allow you to hit as
much anymore. They don't allow the physicality as much anymore.
They cut your days down. They want to cut the
OTAs down, so you can't. I know, you gotta get
(01:57:37):
out there and you gotta bump somebodies in and get
some licks in. That's what the joint practice is are for. Normally,
we just went and practice against the team. Like the
Dolphins played the Falcons last night, right, they've been practicing.
Speaker 2 (01:57:49):
Win them all week long, and they've had full contact
sessions in practice, one office against one defense and then
the other team's one offense against one defense.
Speaker 1 (01:57:57):
So it's been they've hit, you've seen what you need
to see.
Speaker 2 (01:58:01):
Then they go put them out on the field and
the Miami Dolphins lose a backup, backup off it's a
lineman who's probably they was fighting that they wanted to
you know, him to prove himself to get into the
starting role.
Speaker 1 (01:58:11):
Chears the ACL last night. Done for the season, So
I just Pat Mahomes know the name of like nothing,
I got you, I got you. But I would play
my guys in the preseason. I would. I think when
you look at the best.
Speaker 2 (01:58:24):
Teams in the NFL historically, they start out hot in general,
maybe have a lull mid season, but start out.
Speaker 1 (01:58:31):
The season strong, finished season strong.
Speaker 2 (01:58:33):
Almost all of them have in common of playing their
starters at least a few snaps in the preseason.
Speaker 1 (01:58:38):
I will play them because here's the thing you want
to talk about.
Speaker 2 (01:58:41):
Preseason games feel like they're you know, unregulated or so
on and so forth.
Speaker 1 (01:58:46):
How many different training camp fights have we seen in
the last five days.
Speaker 2 (01:58:50):
I've seen multiple people get hit in the head with helmets,
not with people hitting them helmet to helmet, with people
swinging helmets around and making contact with other people in
their head.
Speaker 5 (01:59:01):
Five of those different fights were all from the Seahawks camp.
Speaker 6 (01:59:04):
I was about to say, and the Giant whoever the
Giants were practicing, they had a bunch of fights. Okay,
I haven't I haven't seen as many fights this year
as we've seen in past years.
Speaker 1 (01:59:15):
I haven't seen five fights in Seattle that's because it's.
Speaker 6 (01:59:22):
It's spilled over from an incident where the teammates didn't
come help. The same thing with Amaran Saint Brown. Something
happened there, but it's Jones was in there scrapping it up.
That's what you're talking about. Two different practices. It's not
league wide as it's been.
Speaker 1 (01:59:36):
Now. We still were the story of Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (01:59:39):
We still got we still got more more practices to go,
and more joint practices coming up and all.
Speaker 1 (01:59:46):
But I I do I do think that it's chilled out.
Speaker 4 (01:59:50):
It's not as the Lions and the Lions and the
and the Giants were literally tagged what half of a
million dollars combined from fights and practice, and they stopped
practice midway through.
Speaker 6 (02:00:01):
I just said, guys, I'll give you those two practices,
but at the end of the day, I you know,
I much rather get my starters out there in the
joint practice and then instead of putting them on on
the preseason game, get them hurt for the year.
Speaker 2 (02:00:12):
I mean, if you get hurt for the year in
week one, you get hurt from the year in preseason
week one, Guess what, You're still boned.
Speaker 1 (02:00:18):
But do you know what Lucky for Fox Sports Radios.
You're not boned. Arnie Spaniard and Jason Woo messed up.
Oh well see
