Getting his tickets printed at four thirty.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Looking forward to that is real good Erarors just sitting
down in his chair.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Yeah, I got locked out of the building.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Can you get a keychord please?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
I mean the guy went and I lost it. I
can't get another one?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Well, why can't you ask for another one? What do
you mean?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I feel like a terrible human being for losing the
first one.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
That's why you feel like me? No, I very rarely
feel like you. No offense, Yes, but I very rare
you feel like you?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, but in this case, you're like me.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
I mean this is well, I mean day one, Yes,
in all honesty, I got the card.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Yes, I don't know what happened to it.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
I think I might have put it in my football
bag and then it got lost in the grass somewhere.
I'm not sure, but I am not going to ask
for another one. I'm too embarrassed, even though now everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Knows, I'm sorry I did that to you.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
It feels like this three o'clock start sneaks up on
everybody every every day I'm here.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I've been here since twelve thirty.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
I just happened to use the restroom and again got
locked out because I don't know the key card.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yes, we start at the same time every single day,
three pm Eastern.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
My bladder doesn't really know that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
We'll get to RG three again. He's going to join
us at about fifteen minutes. There was a brawl last
night in baseball. I love a good baseball brawl when
it's an actual fight, and there was an actual fight
last night a major league baseball Although mikey a is
shaking his head, I feel like he's objecting.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
To what it is that I'm saying. What's going on?
Speaker 8 (02:00):
You know, it's the it's the catcher. Your job as
the catcher is to protect your picture. And if you
watch the start of that brawl, he makes such a
half hearted attempt to pull the batter away from his
pitcher that I.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Question if he should be on the team anymore. Huh.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
So it was the Braves pitcher Rinaldo Lopez and the
Angels Hore Solaire. It seemed like it kind of stemmed
from Solaire hit a two run home run to start
the game. Yeah, and then Lopez just kind of got
in his feelings, was like, I'm gonna plunk you the
next time you're up. But the star of the fight
was the Braves manager Walt Weiss, who laid down the
(02:38):
perfect form tackle on Jorge Solair, brought him to the ground,
two leg lift up, sweep the legs, bring him down.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Yeah, we actually have sound or play by play of
the brawl, but I believe the origin of this had
nothing to do, and not necessarily nothing to do, but
had more to do than just the previous home run
than Solaire was hitting about six hundred against.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
This dude for his career.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Was that wow?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Because you just realized Walt Weiss was the manager of
the Braves. I mean, did I say Wow, Yeah you did?
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Oh sorry, subconscious wow. I mean maybe it was a
wow because it was Walt Weiss. And I remember Walt
Weiss as being the shortstop on the inaugural nineteen ninety
three Marlins. And that doesn't seem like a guy who's
young enough to take a take down a professional catcher.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Could have given me.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You could have given me a thousand guesses, and I
would have probably said Bobby Cox nine hundred and ninety
nine times. Although I don't think Bobby Cox is with
us anymore. I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Did I just kill.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
Bobby cos Yeah, there's no way about.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Let's figure that out.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Certain, I'm not so certain. Check it out.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Let's figure that out while we played the play.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He's eighty four, so he still a lot. Bobby Cox
is still a lot, very much. Still take it back.
You just killed him? Okay? Uh? Is he is?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
He points as a good one. Let's play the sound
last night. I've heard this sound. It's fantastic. It sounds
like the guy is calling a boxing match.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Hope.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
As far as one of the backstop, it's right back
out line who throws late.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
To second base.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Alby's just missed the tag and Shallowell advances on wild.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
Pitch, the rebound behind in a quick throw and he
was trying to tag showing a well Alby's in the
back foot in leg area.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Didn't get it down, just missed the tag, hit the dirt.
Speaker 10 (04:27):
Here comes solar going after Lomprez.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
They screw up the Solaro and Lopez. I'm throwing hay bakers.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
They're going after each other.
Speaker 10 (04:35):
Solara's finally tackled from behind as the Angels and Braves
are all out.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Of the field.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
That came up out of nowhere.
Speaker 10 (04:46):
So Lara was upset after a couple of pitches were
high and in after he had yet another homer off
Lopez and a fight broke cout just up to the
air bump could pitch your hand and there.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Get the.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Yet another homer is the key there. He is so
annoyed with how this guy keeps hitting off of him
that he's like, I'm going high and tight.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Yeah, I'm gonna do it again.
Speaker 11 (05:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
And then he was like, all right, that's enough, let's
find is he.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
I thought you were being dramatic when you said Jorge
Solaire had great numbers against Gernando Lopez. Yeah, he is
fourteen for twenty three right, batting six h nine with
five home runs and eleven RB.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Which begs the question, Mikey, if you're the catcher, why
would you protect that picture?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I mean, seriously, your job. It does feel like it's
his job to get someone out. How about that?
Speaker 6 (05:45):
I mean, it does feel like what Weiss has been
waiting his entire managerial career for that particular moment. Like,
I don't know how many sixty plus year olds are
more than willing and able to do that.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm just thinking, if I'm the cat and Solaire has
those kind of numbers against my pitcher and then the
picture decides, the only way I could do something about
it is throwing.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
One high and tight.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I'm kind of with Solaire if I'm the catcher, Like, hey, bitcher,
get them out.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Once in a while, when there's a bench's clearing brawl
in baseball and the bullpens are running in.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The best part, do you think they're.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Looking at each other as they're running in, Like anybody
kind of want to just stay in the bullpen?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yeah, if it was me, Like you'd have a song
that you start singing while you're leaving it, just like
all charging out singing the same song because by the
time you get there, it's gonna be over anyway, at
least make it seem like, you know, a war from
three hundred years ago.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
Is there one guy in the bullpen who, right before
they open the doors goes.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Bad? Wait?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Wait, so Taylor, you have the guys in the bullpen,
and they're checking out the other guys in the bullpen
because if they go, they have to go. That's that's
essentially how it works. But some of them probably don't
want to go out on that field.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Yeah. Like, so you open this bullpen door, you're gonna
have somebody like John Rocker doing a Usain Bolt sprint
to the act. But then you have somebody on the
opposite end of that spectrum and was like, Hey, we're
gonna we're gonna run all the way over here, nothing's
gonna happen. We're gonna do the hold me back and
then we're just gonna have to walk all the way back.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Kind of you just want to cut that part out.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It was a great choice of John Rocker. He would
sprint to a fight.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I put it on the poll with John Rocker sprint
to a fight.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
It's glad he's not still playing, but he.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Would I mean, was trout involved. There's no way Trouty
was involved.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
There's no way.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
So it looked like trout was trying to separate everybody.
He kind of was one of the first people that
got to Rinaldo Lopez and was like, Hey, everybody's gonna
kind of just got it chill out right now.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
I was looking at a list of the heaviest relief
pitchers in baseball just to see who is most likely
to say, you know what, I'm gonna chill right here
that don't need to fight. So Trouty was breaking it up.
Did he pull a hammy?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Is he out six weeks? I mean.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
He is recently back from I thought he went on
the IL list, but I guess he didn't because he
got hit in the hand. I think over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Put this on the Paul Taylor.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Is the IL list a home away from home for
Mike Trouts.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Because it seems my trout List, it seems like that's
where he lives.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I have more details about why I was stuck outside,
but I didn't really want to share.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
It with everybody.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
So I'm walking back in and I'm like, I just
went to the restroom. Walking back in, I was like,
I feel naked. Where is my phone? And I was like, oh, no,
I left it in the bathroom and I thought maybe
I left it at the in the stall, but there
was somebody there, so I was like, oh, should I
ask him mid Wiz if I should go over there
and see if my phone is there? Should I just
(08:41):
leave it alone? And I was torn, so I just
kind of said out loud, I wonder if my phone's
in here, just to see if anybody would announce that
they'd see a phone.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
And they didn't. And I feel like I ruined that
guy's moment in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Wait, so was it a urinal or was there.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Was a urinal? Sorry, I said stall, I meant to urine.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And did he respond? You said no?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
And then I left and then came back because I
was certain it was there. And then when he was.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Done, I was like, oh, just making sure there wasn't
a phone there. Okay, I'm pretty sure you heard me
the first time.
Speaker 11 (09:08):
Right, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I made you feel bad? Huh? I mean well, I
mean I was sitting with you.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
There's board up.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Ricardo's always lets me in every time I don't have it,
and so he's probably staying to himself, Well, why didn't
the idiot just text me? I would have been there
in two seconds. Well that's why I didn't text him.
My phone was here, and I had to go ask
the nice gentleman who was urinating if my phone was
in front of him.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'm trying to think of the relief picture. Is there
a better example than John Rocker of a relief pitcher
who would sprint to a fight?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I mean, maybe Goose Gossage, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
I mean, Ricardo just offered up Kyle Farnsworth.
Speaker 11 (09:39):
That's a good.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Warnsworth, that's a good one. He's listening.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
Graham Lloyd is not a guy you want to be
able to get there, because if he gets there, he's
throwing fists.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Really, I mean, what do we What do you know
about Graham Lloyd that I don't I mean, he got.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
In a huge, yeah, huge fight, Orioles Orioles Yankees.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I believe.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
I believe Armando Benitez too is a guy you don't
want to trifle with.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
But I do know about Graham Lloyd or what I
don't know about grahm Oid is how to spell his first.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Name also Farnsworth.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
Didn't he like completely body slam a dude base in
the baseball around?
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yeah, yeah, I got scary.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
He's got the strongest thighs in the history of Major
League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I mean, check him out. I'm serious. Put it on
the pole.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Tailor, Does Kyle Farnsworth have the strongest thighs in the
history of Major League baseball?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Ricky Henderson? Actually, maybe we could.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Have sat here all day until I was able to
correctly spell Graham.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Right, Oh, I got it, we'd still be here.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
No you don't.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, I think I have it.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Go for it, you get one try.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Okay, all right, hold on a suck, yes, because you
know the grahams I usually.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Dabble in or g r am.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
This is different, as.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I know. There's an e at the end that much
I know.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Okay, yes, you've got that part right, I got to
write it out.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
You also know that I'm assuming you know it starts
with a G.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So too much Taylor, Uh she r A m h E. No,
oh man, I thought I had it. It's such confidence.
How do you spell it?
Speaker 7 (11:11):
It is g r A E m E.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
It's so weird.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
I mean, you have a bunch of options on how
to spell Graham, but he decided to spell it that way.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah, it's weird. In my personal record book, there's an H.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
It's silent H and made it harder.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Let's hear the call because there is there's a point
in this fight. It's only for a brief moment. Iowa, Sam,
I want to hear it one more time where it
feels like Jim Lampley is calling the game go ahead. Iowa,
Sam needs a second because it's It's not like we
didn't just play the sound. But when they're exchanging haymakers,
that is the part I'm looking for.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Sam's got to hate you.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well hate me. What am I doing? I mean, I
love I was Sam and he knows that.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You know, I took a stroll together. IOA Sam playing
one more time. Listen for the park word. It sounds
like Jim Lanley calling a Boxley match. He's just so
sorry for the audience. I didn't hear that, and he
should be sorry. Until I hit the dirt.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It is a good time. It comes so up.
Speaker 10 (12:12):
Going up to Lopez, they squab Solar love Pez.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I'm pulling hay Bakers.
Speaker 10 (12:18):
They're going after each other Solaria's finally tackled from behind
as the Angels and Braves.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Are all out onto the field that came up out
of nowhere.
Speaker 10 (12:30):
Solaria was upset after a couple of pitches were high
and in after I had yet another homer off wood
Pass had a fight bro cout.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Just time up to air.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I just want to do a show tailor just Stu
Gods and Iowa, Sam, nobody else.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I love. I was Sam.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I mean, listen, he was not there for me when
I needed him, like the catcher wasn't there for the
picture in that spots. But I mean, I love them regardless.
It's live radio. We're just how can anyone make the
claim that Iowa hate me?
Speaker 11 (13:02):
Listen.
Speaker 12 (13:02):
We just wanted to make sure we got the right
call there, and we just want to make sure it
was loud enough. We were playing it off of Twitter earlier,
so we'll get it. You want to make sure we
have to write one here for you guys. Make sure
the show sounds good.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So you were checking levels? Is what checking levels exactly?
We had just played it though he asked.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
For a second, and instead of just giving him a second,
we announced, hey, Sam needs a second that's why I
feel like it hates you.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
That's okay, I don't hate anyone. I love this show.
Speaker 11 (13:26):
It's all good.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu gottson Company
Live weekda said three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
We're joining now by Robert Griffin the third. Robert will
have Stu Gotts with us in just a second. But
just wondering what you're doing with the flag football now
talk to me.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I'm a big flag football guy.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
I've actually got Taylor to join us in my flag
football league.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
But tell me what you're doing with flag football currently.
Speaker 11 (13:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (13:57):
So you know, we got LA twenty two coming up,
and you know, I'm a big believer and if you
want something, you got.
Speaker 11 (14:04):
To go for it. You got to give all your
effort towards that.
Speaker 13 (14:06):
And you know, so this year, you know, I decided
to go to the trials UH to make a Team
USA and it's not USA Flag, It's it's Team USA Football.
Speaker 11 (14:18):
They had the trials in March.
Speaker 13 (14:20):
Really, anybody can go as long as you enter through
the digital combine. Everyone has to go through the same process.
There are no waivers for you to get there because
of your name, uh, because you're in the NFL or
whatever it may be. Everyone goes through the same process.
So I went out there was able to showcase that
you know, I can still I can still do the
same thing, and it got selected as one of the
(14:42):
twelve to join the twelve that were already on last
year's team that played at the Fanatics Football Classic and
beat up on all the NFL players as you guys
saw in some celebrities. So you know, just really embarking
on that journey now, going to training camp with them
here next week, another training camp in May, and then
you know, looking to make that team for twenty twenty
(15:04):
six World Championships, which just played in August. But I
didn't want to wait till twenty eight to try to
start this process. I wanted to do it now. I've
already you know, embedded myself in the flag football community
over the last few years, so I know I know
the game. But these guys are They're special to what
they do and I'm just trying to add to the
greatness that they already have.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
This is the head of the twenty twenty six International
Federation of American football.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Right, that's set right, and you will go of Germany?
Speaker 13 (15:27):
Right?
Speaker 6 (15:29):
What do you what do you do to prepare for
flag football? Is it any different?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Is it? Is it?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Do you prepare much at all? Because the skill sets
just in you.
Speaker 13 (15:37):
No, no, no, you got to respect the game and
you got to play it. I think some people have
used this this reference, I think in a disparaging way,
and I'm not using it in a disparaging way. There's tennis, right,
and then there's also pickleball, there's also ping pong.
Speaker 11 (15:52):
Those are different disciplines.
Speaker 13 (15:54):
Flag football is a different discipline. I think somebody said
they saw a clip of me at the trials and
they said, man, it looks like a basketball player going
to football tryouts because most of the guys are smaller, quicker,
shiftier guys. So for me, the biggest difference was the
rusher at seven yards unimpeded coming towards you means you
(16:16):
got to make decisions in almost less than two seconds.
Speaker 11 (16:20):
And then the field it's.
Speaker 13 (16:21):
Twenty five yards wide for reference, from the hash to
the sideline in the NFL is twenty three yards, so
it's it's a very small field, but it's fifty yards long,
so the windows are tighter. The decisions happened faster, and
we did three days of two days at these trials.
I had done two days since like high school. So
(16:44):
it was it was a journey and it was enjoyable.
Speaker 11 (16:46):
But by the.
Speaker 13 (16:47):
Third day I adapted and was able to, you know,
feel pretty good about what we were able to go
out there and accomplish. So it was really a big
up to the guys that were there. The best football
players in the world. Took me another wing, you know,
allowed me to showcase my skills and preparation wise is
just getting used to the visual and then allowing your
(17:07):
skills to take over. But I think, you know, the
next question is like, hey, can NFL guys make this
this transition into this discipline. Yeah, they can it, just
it's gonna take time on task and you got to
respect the guys that have been doing it. You mentioned IPAF.
You know, Team USA has won five straight IPAF World Championships,
so you know about me and my wife were talking
(17:29):
about like, hey, do they even need anybody.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
To come back?
Speaker 13 (17:34):
Like I I honestly think, you know, if no NFL
guys were to show up, right, I wasn't to go
out there. They would win the World Championships. I believe
they would win the Olympics. I'm just so ambitious that
I want to be a part of that greatness with them,
and that that's what makes it exciting for me to
kind of get back out there and.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Compete that fanatics game that you talked about. Did the
NFL player were they embarrassed? Did they stroll on to
the expecting to beat that team?
Speaker 13 (18:05):
I talked to the NFL guys. I was actually there.
I was I was there, you know, got to see
it happening live. It kind of played out the way
that I thought it would.
Speaker 11 (18:13):
You know, the championship game was a lot closer.
Speaker 13 (18:15):
They started to play more to the strategy of what
flag football is, and it's really about like you get
one or two stops, you won the game, and they
just couldn't stop Team USA.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
So to answer your questions, Stu Gotts.
Speaker 13 (18:28):
Yes, they they were embarrassed. I don't think they went
out there thinking, man, we're about to molly wop these guys, right,
But but I know talking to a few of them,
it was like, man, those guys were playing like their
lives depending on it, and guess what they did.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
You know, if you're if you're a coach and you.
Speaker 13 (18:47):
See Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan over there, and your
whoor hate caskudo, You're trying to baptize them, like like
all those college coaches are trying to baptize Bill Belichick.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
You know, Jill Burrow is playing like his life defan
that on it.
Speaker 13 (19:00):
He was because Joe was trying to Joe is trying
to show that he could he could play on the team.
And you know, I've got a good relationship with with Whosh.
Speaker 11 (19:09):
Drell du Set. He's from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Speaker 13 (19:11):
My family's from New Orleans, Louisiana, five oh four, and
he's the best flag football player in the world. I'm
not trying to go take Drell du Set's job. I
just want to play on the field with him, you
know what I'm saying, Like, have some fun and play
this in a in a in a in a really
fun way. And I've had opportunities to play in celebrity
(19:31):
flag football games with Whosh and we've played well together.
So it's like that the goal isn't to go in
there and take over. Your goal is to go in
there and be a great teammate. And and that's exactly
the approach that I'm taking.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
RGIE three. It sounds like you're almost joining like a dynasty.
Any concern that if you join and they lose, people
will start to blame you.
Speaker 13 (19:50):
Oh my goodness, listen, never not a dangerous game, because you.
Speaker 11 (19:54):
Know what.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'm telling you right now, go ahead that that.
Speaker 13 (19:57):
Would that would never happen, all right, because I can
be honest with you. You know, you look at Cali Brownson,
who really spearheaded the effort to bring me in. You know,
she is the senior director of high performance there for
USA Football, and they're going to put the best twelve.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
Guys on the team.
Speaker 13 (20:16):
So like, if you come in and you can prove
that you're one of the best twelve, then then you'll
be on the squad. And like I said, when you
have these guys that have won so much and know
the nuances of the game, you you lean on that
these guys are not going to lose. I don't know
if you guys have watched any of the games the
team USA has played.
Speaker 11 (20:34):
I mean, if you.
Speaker 13 (20:35):
Thought the Fanatics Flag Football Classic was a blowout, wait
till you watch some of those games, and they and they,
and to their credit, they are not sitting on those laurels.
They are they are actively going out and trying to
get the best players to come out and play because
they know the rest of the world doesn't want.
Speaker 11 (20:53):
To keep getting beat sixty six to twenty.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Okay, you guaranteeing gold, Robert, That's what it seems like.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
Now.
Speaker 11 (21:02):
See listen, this is this is why y'all are good
at what you do. You're trying to get some guarantees.
There's no guarantees in this thing.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
No, there's no guarantee of gold.
Speaker 13 (21:11):
And I and like I said, it's almost like Larry
Bird trying to join the ninety six Bulls, you know. Yeah,
they're like they're like, hey, we're already a dynasty. What's
going on here? And You're just like, hey, man, I
just want to be a part of it with you guys,
and let's go have some fun.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
It's like Kevin Durant joining the Warriors, right. Yes, Oh
that's a that's a more that's a more relevant.
Speaker 13 (21:31):
I was more so looking at the age because I'm
thirty six, but you're right because Kusha is actually thirty
six as well. So These aren't twenty two year olds
out there balling out. These guys have dedicated their lives
to playing flag and done it at the highest level.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
RG three.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
How do you feel because Taylor also plays flag football,
he plays on Israel's team, how do you feel about
a guy who lines up at wide receiver tells the dB, Hey,
I'm tired, I'm taking a couple of plays offs.
Speaker 13 (22:01):
That's that's a guy that's gonna get beat sixty sixty zero.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
We are zero and two, So yeah, you can't. You
can't be telling.
Speaker 13 (22:11):
Now, Listen, We've all had those guys in the past
that'd be like, man, I'm so tired, I don't know
if i can make it on this rep.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
And then they sprint full speed. Now, if you do that,
it's all good.
Speaker 13 (22:21):
But if you actually go out there and jog the rep, man,
you concede, and you can't concede.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
In sports, Robert I was I've fallen in love with
Fernando Mendoz, another Heisman guy, and I'm just curious because
I was at the gym and some people were comparing
him to the last five quarterbacks who have.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Won the Heisman, and I'm like, yeah, okay, maybe not.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
The same exact skill set, will it still transfer translate
in the pros? What do you think about Fernando in
particular and his particular skill set translating.
Speaker 13 (22:49):
No, I think Fernando's skill set starts with what's between
his ears. And I think he's had some adversity in
his college career, you know, being at Coyle, then going
to Indiana the literally the worst program in college football
D one history, most losses, and turning that bad boy
around they won a national championship.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
So I actually I love Fernando.
Speaker 13 (23:10):
I think he's a great fit for for the Las
Vegas Raiders if they decide to go in that direction,
which I think they will.
Speaker 11 (23:18):
I think there's this phrase that I hate.
Speaker 13 (23:21):
I hate when people call let's just be rail here
white quarterbacks, when they call him sneaky athletic.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I hate it.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
I just hat he's not. He's not sneaky athletic. Rana
Mendoza is athletic. He can run.
Speaker 13 (23:33):
Is he Lamar Jackson? No, he's not Lamar Jackson. But
there's no one else that's Lamar Jackson. And I was
his teammate for three years, and trust me, there's nobody
that's going to.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
Be like Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
So I think I think Fernando his willingness to run
when needed to move the chains. Uh, those are undervalued things.
And he has the arm strength and the one thing
I know he can do he can throw the vertical ball,
and in the NFL, that is something that wide receivers love,
coaches love, and he's gonna make the right decisions. So
the way he processes and takes care of everything, Yeah,
(24:04):
he might have a bunch of games where he's twenty
for twenty seven for two hundred and fifty yards and
four touchdowns, and I'm okay with that, right And I
know that he's okay with that.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
And when they need him.
Speaker 13 (24:13):
To go forty for forty five or forty for fifty
two for four hundred, he can do that as well.
So I think his skill set translates because of the
way that he approaches the game. And he has all
of the traits as they say, big arm, he's tall,
he's athletic enough that he can move the chains with
his legs. I think it's just a matter of the
Raiders just not messing it up. He looks like a
(24:34):
football nerd too. Yeah, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
And he's got Brady there. You know, as an owner
that won't.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Just be a nerd, not a football nerd.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
He's kind of softy athletic.
Speaker 13 (24:47):
He's a football card, but he's got Brady. He's a
faster Brady, you know. And I know that's that's lofty,
and you say that, but the way he processes and
the way he approaches it, that's how I envision Fanana
Mendoza Robert.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
When you look at college sports right now and il
all the money these kids are making, do you say
to yourself, a small part of yourself saying to yourself, Hey,
if I could have just been born.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
A little bit later, you know, you would have cleaned
house man.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
Yep, yep, you know you're like.
Speaker 13 (25:16):
Now, listen, I am very thankful and blessed, Like my
family has taken care for the rest.
Speaker 11 (25:22):
Of their lives.
Speaker 13 (25:24):
I do this TV thing and do the social stuff
for fun. It's not because I have to keep the
lights on.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But day, man, if it would have just been a
few years later, Like.
Speaker 13 (25:36):
Just imagine you're the only Heisman Trophy winner at a
certain school and that certain school has such a massive endowment,
and you're talking about Bailey University, so I just think that, yes,
it would have been great to be a few years later,
they had the settlement and I was like urging, you know,
people like hey, can they push the settlement back to
(25:56):
like two thousand? They pushing to two I got like
seven eight years of buffer there where I'm good. I said,
they went to twenty sixteen and still cut us all
the way out.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
So it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
We'll get you out here in a second. The last
time you bought a drink in Waco, Texas.
Speaker 11 (26:12):
Oh, bought a drink? I mean, yeah, never.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
As it should be.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
Yeah and listen.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
And when I was in school, I got a free
pizza once, and people always ask me like, hey, did
you get paid to go to college?
Speaker 11 (26:25):
And I'm like, I.
Speaker 13 (26:26):
Wish, like I wish I got paid to go to college.
But I got a free pizza once, and it was
they were so strict there that compliance knocked on my
door the next day and made me pay for the
pizza that I got that was free. So I haven't
paid for anything in wake going a really really long time.
And I'm just thankful for Bila Nation for always supporting me.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Is that your heisman trophy somewhere behind there is that.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
Yeah, yeah, that's the heisman.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
It it's just drink.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
It's just recently moved here. It was with my parents
for ten years, so you.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Know, even enclosed in anything.
Speaker 13 (27:01):
No, don't give the robbers and any ideas.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Okay, like.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
This guy talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
We don't know what city here is with the parents
upset when you took it back.
Speaker 11 (27:14):
No, no, no, they weren't upset at all.
Speaker 13 (27:17):
You know, they moved as well, so it was like, hey,
they're moving, let's move the heisman in and uh and
just have it be stationary here. And now it's cool
because you know, I'm a girl dad afore, so you know,
our daughters walk by and like, hey, daddy, what's that?
And then it's story time, so you know, get to
live those old war stories and then have some good
time with the girls.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
All right, the heisman gets its own box when when
you move right, the heisman gets its own box.
Speaker 13 (27:39):
I do have, yes, they the original box that they
sent it to us with.
Speaker 11 (27:44):
I still have that box. And it's it's pretty heavy duty.
I mean that thinks. Not only is it way a lot,
but it's also worth a lot. So got to have that.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Special box for it.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
The briefcase in pulp fiction where you open it up
and it just starts glowing and singing at you time
you open it.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
Yes, there's none of that, but it does look like
that that uh that box it does.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You're great, man. We wish you luck with this, we
really do.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I have a proposal for you if we start a show,
we do a show called God Bless Football. If we
start a new show called God Bless flag Football, would
Robert Griffin the third like to co host.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
It with me?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
What do you think we'll make a Yeah, all right,
we'll start tomorrow. All right, Robert, thank you again. Promote
the team one more time here on the way out
and what you doing and try it out and all
that good stuff.
Speaker 11 (28:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (28:34):
Man, So you're talking about USA football, five time reigning
IFAF World champions, they've won eight gold medals.
Speaker 11 (28:40):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (28:41):
This team doesn't need, in my opinion, a ton of help.
But they blessed me by bringing me in, throwing their
arms around me, teaching me the game, and allow me
to have the opportunity this year to make the team
and go win a world championship in Germany, and then
obviously set it up to where I have a you know,
a clear runway to the twenty twenty eight Olympic team,
(29:01):
which is which is the dream? All these guys that
work so hard for it. There's no greater honor than
wearing USA across your chest and being able to go
listen to the Star spangled banner as they put that
gold medal around your neck. So anyone out there that
has a dream that wants to go and make their
Olympic dream come true, and you want to play flag football,
(29:22):
you can do it. I'm gonna hopefully be able to
inspire others to kind of go forward no matter how
old you are.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
Appreciate you guys.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
A gold medal and a Heisman trophy.
Speaker 11 (29:30):
That's pretty good. RG three, be the first, be the first.
Speaker 5 (29:33):

We appreciate it. Man. Good luck with all this. We'll
get back to you on the show.

Ready? Yes, Taylor? Would you mind kicking off the proceedings here?
Is it just me? Or a weekly feature? Here that
Studios Company lot good.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Yeah, I could start. Is it just me? Or are
rope pats extremely overrated?
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Give me that one more time.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Rope pats the hats that have the rope of the bills, Okay,
I could do without them.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I don't like them.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
You're gonna see a lot this weekend at the Master.
There's a lot of patrons at the Masters. roAP pats
just not for me.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Never once have I said to myself, Wow, look at
that half with a rope on it.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
I don't. I don't think.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
Maybe I've noticed it, but I don't think I've recognized
it being a thing lately.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
I don't even think they're functional. I think it's just
fashion that people want ropes on.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Their heads, right, Okay, what's it say about a person
who uh trots out with one of those on?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Like it feels like, I don't know, Wealth Country Club.
What about if you bought it for someone and gave
them to them as a gift.
Speaker 15 (32:09):
Because I think I actually did that with a Master's
hat with Iowa Sam.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I think I gave him a rope hat? Does it?
Does it have a rope?
Speaker 15 (32:16):
It was a throwback one, and that's kind of that's
kind of the feel of the rope one, isn't it Taylor,
Like it's trying to be throwback but it's.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you for I need to
wear that. Yes, does it have a rope on it?
I think it does.
Speaker 15 (32:30):
Yeah, I think it does. I feel a little bad
now that I give him a rope hat.
Speaker 12 (32:34):
I like the masters is are you talking about the
silky little rope that goes between the brim and yes, exactly,
And it kind of like it's like crown molding for
like your hat, kind of.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Like it fills in the extra the core frost. You
have any more follow ups? He gave you a hat?
I mean, I know I need to wear it tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
He started, It's a great hat, great hat hat.
Speaker 11 (32:56):
I had one, but I have to change it now
because it's it just me?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Or can you not figure.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
Out the relationship between Iowa Sam and Dan Byer.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Because yeah, Dan Hage, you think they hate each other
with the way they talk each other gifts?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Is it just me?
Speaker 11 (33:13):
Or is it a strange relations.
Speaker 15 (33:14):
It's funny because because no, Stu, you got an apology.
We got five minutes of excuses on why you know
the son didn't play so it's a total different story
on this side of the mic.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
I get a different Iowa Sam.
Speaker 15 (33:27):
Yes, you get the des Moines, Iowa Sam, we get
the Cedar Rapids, Iowa Sam.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
That sounds like except said steps on situation and that Dan,
it's just like very much disappointed but also has to
buy him gifts regularly.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Let's go to board Ricardo, who's always watching baseball?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I'll go ahead, regard.
Speaker 13 (33:46):
Actually socks are up five five to nothing on the
Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
Right now, if anyone's interested, which likes so my own?
Speaker 7 (33:54):
What is the game again? Red? It's just me? Or
is it just me?
Speaker 10 (33:58):
Or?
Speaker 7 (33:59):
I still haven't gotten used to il to d L.
Speaker 11 (34:02):
I still call people when they go on hurt or anything.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
The d L.
Speaker 11 (34:05):
It's not the IO.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
It's been around for ten years.
Speaker 11 (34:08):
I'm still not used to it.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
By the way, I am I have with no idea
what you're talking about injured list.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
Yes, yes, I think that's why they got rid of
Maybe they got rid of it because of the d O.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Yeah, they didn't like the free has different meanings.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yes, Yes, let's go to update anchor. Dan here, Dan,
do you have one today?
Speaker 10 (34:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Is it just me?
Speaker 15 (34:27):
Or did Michigan go a little overboard with the Shock
the World.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Stuff on Monday? I mean, I know it was a
throwback to eighty nine, but it's not.
Speaker 15 (34:33):
Like they weren't one of the best three teams all
season long, or a number one seed or won the
Big Ten by four games, or that anybody in Europe
or the Middle East would care on what was happening
in Indianapolis on a random Monday in April.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
It's a great one. Put it on the Paul Taylor.
Can you be a one seed? In Shock the World?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
It's just people in India with their hands on their face, like,
oh my god, Michigan, Iowa sad?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You ready? You got one to so you do? Is
it just me?
Speaker 12 (35:02):
Or does it feel like every commercial and network TV
you're watching, you know, men's basketball, whatever. So I feel
like every commercial, whether it's human voicing, voiceover or AI whatever,
is always Brian Cranston's voice. It always just feels like
he's doing Ford. But then it's like it's like it's
got to be a commercial. Like there's something about his
(35:22):
voice that every voiceover ad promoter loves.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
It's like Verry Cranston.
Speaker 12 (35:27):
It's like Brian Cranston, but I can't tell if it's
just like a knockoff of Bran Cranson.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Brian Cranston once wore my headphones. Yeah, that's all I
have to say.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Later that yes, I was there. Never watched them again.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
You and Dan had the day off?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Was EP? Jason Sadana right, EP, Jason? Do you have
on forest today? Guys?
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Is it just me? Or are the Blue Jays just
not a good baseball team? They've lost what like seven
of the last day to bad teams and then they're
about to get swept by the Dodgers. They just went
to the World Series and we're like a pitch away
from winning it last October.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Is it just me? Or what? I don't know. I
think Taylor's with you.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
I got to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, it's earlier. Yeah, let's good easy.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Is it just me? Or is technology going crazy fast?
Because what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Bryson to Shambo made a five iron out of a
three D printer that he's going to play with at AUGUSTA.
I have no idea what kind of things that a
three D printer could do, but never did I think
I can create.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
A five iron out of it.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
That is Bryson to Shambo in a nutshell. I mean
he is the guy who brought a protractor out to
the course.
Speaker 11 (36:29):
It is a nut.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
He loves a gimmick he does. He's a gimmick. Golfer lord,
what is that?
Speaker 11 (36:34):
He's a really good.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
They sell five irons at the store. Go buy one,
all right?
Speaker 1 (36:43):
My term just me or when you pass someone illegally
on a single lane road, you then have to pin
it after you pass him.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Pin it means you.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Can't pass someone and then go five miles per hour.
Once you pass someone, you gotta pass him and continue
to go eighty.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Five miles around.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
You have to never see that person ever again.
Speaker 7 (37:02):

Let's give this.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
RG three is going to join us in about fifteen minutes.
Looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Carl Douglass is going to try to help an eighty
one year old Dodger fan out with.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Getting his tickets printed at four thirty.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Looking forward to that is real good Erarors just sitting
down in his chair.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Yeah, I got locked out of the building.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Can you get a keychord please?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
I mean the guy went and I lost it. I
can't get another one?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Well, why can't you ask for another one? What do
you mean?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I feel like a terrible human being for losing the
first one.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
That's why you feel like me? No, I very rarely
feel like you. No offense, Yes, but I very rare
you feel like you?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, but in this case, you're like me.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
I mean this is well, I mean day one, Yes,
in all honesty, I got the card.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Yes, I don't know what happened to it.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
I think I might have put it in my football
bag and then it got lost in the grass somewhere.
I'm not sure, but I am not going to ask
for another one. I'm too embarrassed, even though now everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Knows, I'm sorry I did that to you.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
It feels like this three o'clock start sneaks up on
everybody every every day I'm here.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I've been here since twelve thirty.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
I just happened to use the restroom and again got
locked out because I don't know the key card.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yes, we start at the same time every single day,
three pm Eastern.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
My bladder doesn't really know that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
We'll get to RG three again. He's going to join
us at about fifteen minutes. There was a brawl last
night in baseball. I love a good baseball brawl when
it's an actual fight, and there was an actual fight
last night a major league baseball Although mikey a is
shaking his head, I feel like he's objecting.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
To what it is that I'm saying. What's going on?
Speaker 8 (02:00):
You know, it's the it's the catcher. Your job as
the catcher is to protect your picture. And if you
watch the start of that brawl, he makes such a
half hearted attempt to pull the batter away from his
pitcher that I.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Question if he should be on the team anymore. Huh.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
So it was the Braves pitcher Rinaldo Lopez and the
Angels Hore Solaire. It seemed like it kind of stemmed
from Solaire hit a two run home run to start
the game. Yeah, and then Lopez just kind of got
in his feelings, was like, I'm gonna plunk you the
next time you're up. But the star of the fight
was the Braves manager Walt Weiss, who laid down the
(02:38):
perfect form tackle on Jorge Solair, brought him to the ground,
two leg lift up, sweep the legs, bring him down.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Yeah, we actually have sound or play by play of
the brawl, but I believe the origin of this had
nothing to do, and not necessarily nothing to do, but
had more to do than just the previous home run
than Solaire was hitting about six hundred against.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
This dude for his career.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Was that wow?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Because you just realized Walt Weiss was the manager of
the Braves. I mean, did I say Wow, Yeah you did?
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Oh sorry, subconscious wow. I mean maybe it was a
wow because it was Walt Weiss. And I remember Walt
Weiss as being the shortstop on the inaugural nineteen ninety
three Marlins. And that doesn't seem like a guy who's
young enough to take a take down a professional catcher.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Could have given me.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You could have given me a thousand guesses, and I
would have probably said Bobby Cox nine hundred and ninety
nine times. Although I don't think Bobby Cox is with
us anymore. I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Did I just kill.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
Bobby cos Yeah, there's no way about.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Let's figure that out.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Certain, I'm not so certain. Check it out.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Let's figure that out while we played the play.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He's eighty four, so he still a lot. Bobby Cox
is still a lot, very much. Still take it back.
You just killed him? Okay? Uh? Is he is?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
He points as a good one. Let's play the sound
last night. I've heard this sound. It's fantastic. It sounds
like the guy is calling a boxing match.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Hope.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
As far as one of the backstop, it's right back
out line who throws late.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
To second base.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Alby's just missed the tag and Shallowell advances on wild.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
Pitch, the rebound behind in a quick throw and he
was trying to tag showing a well Alby's in the
back foot in leg area.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Didn't get it down, just missed the tag, hit the dirt.
Speaker 10 (04:27):
Here comes solar going after Lomprez.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
They screw up the Solaro and Lopez. I'm throwing hay bakers.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
They're going after each other.
Speaker 10 (04:35):
Solara's finally tackled from behind as the Angels and Braves
are all out.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Of the field.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
That came up out of nowhere.
Speaker 10 (04:46):
So Lara was upset after a couple of pitches were
high and in after he had yet another homer off
Lopez and a fight broke cout just up to the
air bump could pitch your hand and there.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Get the.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Yet another homer is the key there. He is so
annoyed with how this guy keeps hitting off of him
that he's like, I'm going high and tight.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Yeah, I'm gonna do it again.
Speaker 11 (05:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
And then he was like, all right, that's enough, let's
find is he.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
I thought you were being dramatic when you said Jorge
Solaire had great numbers against Gernando Lopez. Yeah, he is
fourteen for twenty three right, batting six h nine with
five home runs and eleven RB.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Which begs the question, Mikey, if you're the catcher, why
would you protect that picture?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I mean, seriously, your job. It does feel like it's
his job to get someone out. How about that?
Speaker 6 (05:45):
I mean, it does feel like what Weiss has been
waiting his entire managerial career for that particular moment. Like,
I don't know how many sixty plus year olds are
more than willing and able to do that.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm just thinking, if I'm the cat and Solaire has
those kind of numbers against my pitcher and then the
picture decides, the only way I could do something about
it is throwing.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
One high and tight.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I'm kind of with Solaire if I'm the catcher, Like, hey, bitcher,
get them out.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Once in a while, when there's a bench's clearing brawl
in baseball and the bullpens are running in.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The best part, do you think they're.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Looking at each other as they're running in, Like anybody
kind of want to just stay in the bullpen?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yeah, if it was me, Like you'd have a song
that you start singing while you're leaving it, just like
all charging out singing the same song because by the
time you get there, it's gonna be over anyway, at
least make it seem like, you know, a war from
three hundred years ago.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
Is there one guy in the bullpen who, right before
they open the doors goes.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Bad? Wait?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Wait, so Taylor, you have the guys in the bullpen,
and they're checking out the other guys in the bullpen
because if they go, they have to go. That's that's
essentially how it works. But some of them probably don't
want to go out on that field.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Yeah. Like, so you open this bullpen door, you're gonna
have somebody like John Rocker doing a Usain Bolt sprint
to the act. But then you have somebody on the
opposite end of that spectrum and was like, Hey, we're
gonna we're gonna run all the way over here, nothing's
gonna happen. We're gonna do the hold me back and
then we're just gonna have to walk all the way back.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Kind of you just want to cut that part out.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It was a great choice of John Rocker. He would
sprint to a fight.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I put it on the poll with John Rocker sprint
to a fight.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
It's glad he's not still playing, but he.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Would I mean, was trout involved. There's no way Trouty
was involved.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
There's no way.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
So it looked like trout was trying to separate everybody.
He kind of was one of the first people that
got to Rinaldo Lopez and was like, Hey, everybody's gonna
kind of just got it chill out right now.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
I was looking at a list of the heaviest relief
pitchers in baseball just to see who is most likely
to say, you know what, I'm gonna chill right here
that don't need to fight. So Trouty was breaking it up.
Did he pull a hammy?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Is he out six weeks? I mean.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
He is recently back from I thought he went on
the IL list, but I guess he didn't because he
got hit in the hand. I think over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Put this on the Paul Taylor.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Is the IL list a home away from home for
Mike Trouts.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Because it seems my trout List, it seems like that's
where he lives.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I have more details about why I was stuck outside,
but I didn't really want to share.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
It with everybody.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
So I'm walking back in and I'm like, I just
went to the restroom. Walking back in, I was like,
I feel naked. Where is my phone? And I was like, oh, no,
I left it in the bathroom and I thought maybe
I left it at the in the stall, but there
was somebody there, so I was like, oh, should I
ask him mid Wiz if I should go over there
and see if my phone is there? Should I just
(08:41):
leave it alone? And I was torn, so I just
kind of said out loud, I wonder if my phone's
in here, just to see if anybody would announce that
they'd see a phone.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
And they didn't. And I feel like I ruined that
guy's moment in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Wait, so was it a urinal or was there.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Was a urinal? Sorry, I said stall, I meant to urine.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And did he respond? You said no?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
And then I left and then came back because I
was certain it was there. And then when he was.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Done, I was like, oh, just making sure there wasn't
a phone there. Okay, I'm pretty sure you heard me
the first time.
Speaker 11 (09:08):
Right, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I made you feel bad? Huh? I mean well, I
mean I was sitting with you.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
There's board up.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Ricardo's always lets me in every time I don't have it,
and so he's probably staying to himself, Well, why didn't
the idiot just text me? I would have been there
in two seconds. Well that's why I didn't text him.
My phone was here, and I had to go ask
the nice gentleman who was urinating if my phone was
in front of him.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'm trying to think of the relief picture. Is there
a better example than John Rocker of a relief pitcher
who would sprint to a fight?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I mean, maybe Goose Gossage, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
I mean, Ricardo just offered up Kyle Farnsworth.
Speaker 11 (09:39):
That's a good.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Warnsworth, that's a good one. He's listening.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
Graham Lloyd is not a guy you want to be
able to get there, because if he gets there, he's
throwing fists.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Really, I mean, what do we What do you know
about Graham Lloyd that I don't I mean, he got.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
In a huge, yeah, huge fight, Orioles Orioles Yankees.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I believe.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
I believe Armando Benitez too is a guy you don't
want to trifle with.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
But I do know about Graham Lloyd or what I
don't know about grahm Oid is how to spell his first.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Name also Farnsworth.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
Didn't he like completely body slam a dude base in
the baseball around?
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yeah, yeah, I got scary.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
He's got the strongest thighs in the history of Major
League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I mean, check him out. I'm serious. Put it on
the pole.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Tailor, Does Kyle Farnsworth have the strongest thighs in the
history of Major League baseball?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Ricky Henderson? Actually, maybe we could.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Have sat here all day until I was able to
correctly spell Graham.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Right, Oh, I got it, we'd still be here.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
No you don't.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, I think I have it.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Go for it, you get one try.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Okay, all right, hold on a suck, yes, because you
know the grahams I usually.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Dabble in or g r am.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
This is different, as.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I know. There's an e at the end that much
I know.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Okay, yes, you've got that part right, I got to
write it out.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
You also know that I'm assuming you know it starts
with a G.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So too much Taylor, Uh she r A m h E. No,
oh man, I thought I had it. It's such confidence.
How do you spell it?
Speaker 7 (11:11):
It is g r A E m E.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
It's so weird.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
I mean, you have a bunch of options on how
to spell Graham, but he decided to spell it that way.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Yeah, it's weird. In my personal record book, there's an H.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
It's silent H and made it harder.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Let's hear the call because there is there's a point
in this fight. It's only for a brief moment. Iowa, Sam,
I want to hear it one more time where it
feels like Jim Lampley is calling the game go ahead. Iowa,
Sam needs a second because it's It's not like we
didn't just play the sound. But when they're exchanging haymakers,
that is the part I'm looking for.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Sam's got to hate you.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well hate me. What am I doing? I mean, I
love I was Sam and he knows that.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You know, I took a stroll together. IOA Sam playing
one more time. Listen for the park word. It sounds
like Jim Lanley calling a Boxley match. He's just so
sorry for the audience. I didn't hear that, and he
should be sorry. Until I hit the dirt.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It is a good time. It comes so up.
Speaker 10 (12:12):
Going up to Lopez, they squab Solar love Pez.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I'm pulling hay Bakers.
Speaker 10 (12:18):
They're going after each other Solaria's finally tackled from behind
as the Angels and Braves.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Are all out onto the field that came up out
of nowhere.
Speaker 10 (12:30):
Solaria was upset after a couple of pitches were high
and in after I had yet another homer off wood
Pass had a fight bro cout.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Just time up to air.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I just want to do a show tailor just Stu
Gods and Iowa, Sam, nobody else.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I love. I was Sam.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I mean, listen, he was not there for me when
I needed him, like the catcher wasn't there for the
picture in that spots. But I mean, I love them regardless.
It's live radio. We're just how can anyone make the
claim that Iowa hate me?
Speaker 11 (13:02):
Listen.
Speaker 12 (13:02):
We just wanted to make sure we got the right
call there, and we just want to make sure it
was loud enough. We were playing it off of Twitter earlier,
so we'll get it. You want to make sure we
have to write one here for you guys. Make sure
the show sounds good.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So you were checking levels? Is what checking levels exactly?
We had just played it though he asked.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
For a second, and instead of just giving him a second,
we announced, hey, Sam needs a second that's why I
feel like it hates you.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
That's okay, I don't hate anyone. I love this show.
Speaker 11 (13:26):
It's all good.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu gottson Company
Live weekda said three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
We're joining now by Robert Griffin the third. Robert will
have Stu Gotts with us in just a second. But
just wondering what you're doing with the flag football now
talk to me.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I'm a big flag football guy.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
I've actually got Taylor to join us in my flag
football league.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
But tell me what you're doing with flag football currently.
Speaker 11 (13:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (13:57):
So you know, we got LA twenty two coming up,
and you know, I'm a big believer and if you
want something, you got.
Speaker 11 (14:04):
To go for it. You got to give all your
effort towards that.
Speaker 13 (14:06):
And you know, so this year, you know, I decided
to go to the trials UH to make a Team
USA and it's not USA Flag, It's it's Team USA Football.
Speaker 11 (14:18):
They had the trials in March.
Speaker 13 (14:20):
Really, anybody can go as long as you enter through
the digital combine. Everyone has to go through the same process.
There are no waivers for you to get there because
of your name, uh, because you're in the NFL or
whatever it may be. Everyone goes through the same process.
So I went out there was able to showcase that
you know, I can still I can still do the
same thing, and it got selected as one of the
(14:42):
twelve to join the twelve that were already on last
year's team that played at the Fanatics Football Classic and
beat up on all the NFL players as you guys
saw in some celebrities. So you know, just really embarking
on that journey now, going to training camp with them
here next week, another training camp in May, and then
you know, looking to make that team for twenty twenty
(15:04):
six World Championships, which just played in August. But I
didn't want to wait till twenty eight to try to
start this process. I wanted to do it now. I've
already you know, embedded myself in the flag football community
over the last few years, so I know I know
the game. But these guys are They're special to what
they do and I'm just trying to add to the
greatness that they already have.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
This is the head of the twenty twenty six International
Federation of American football.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Right, that's set right, and you will go of Germany?
Speaker 13 (15:27):
Right?
Speaker 6 (15:29):
What do you what do you do to prepare for
flag football? Is it any different?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Is it? Is it?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Do you prepare much at all? Because the skill sets
just in you.
Speaker 13 (15:37):
No, no, no, you got to respect the game and
you got to play it. I think some people have
used this this reference, I think in a disparaging way,
and I'm not using it in a disparaging way. There's tennis, right,
and then there's also pickleball, there's also ping pong.
Speaker 11 (15:52):
Those are different disciplines.
Speaker 13 (15:54):
Flag football is a different discipline. I think somebody said
they saw a clip of me at the trials and
they said, man, it looks like a basketball player going
to football tryouts because most of the guys are smaller, quicker,
shiftier guys. So for me, the biggest difference was the
rusher at seven yards unimpeded coming towards you means you
(16:16):
got to make decisions in almost less than two seconds.
Speaker 11 (16:20):
And then the field it's.
Speaker 13 (16:21):
Twenty five yards wide for reference, from the hash to
the sideline in the NFL is twenty three yards, so
it's it's a very small field, but it's fifty yards long,
so the windows are tighter. The decisions happened faster, and
we did three days of two days at these trials.
I had done two days since like high school. So
(16:44):
it was it was a journey and it was enjoyable.
Speaker 11 (16:46):
But by the.
Speaker 13 (16:47):
Third day I adapted and was able to, you know,
feel pretty good about what we were able to go
out there and accomplish. So it was really a big
up to the guys that were there. The best football
players in the world. Took me another wing, you know,
allowed me to showcase my skills and preparation wise is
just getting used to the visual and then allowing your
(17:07):
skills to take over. But I think, you know, the
next question is like, hey, can NFL guys make this
this transition into this discipline. Yeah, they can it, just
it's gonna take time on task and you got to
respect the guys that have been doing it. You mentioned IPAF.
You know, Team USA has won five straight IPAF World Championships,
so you know about me and my wife were talking
(17:29):
about like, hey, do they even need anybody.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
To come back?
Speaker 13 (17:34):
Like I I honestly think, you know, if no NFL
guys were to show up, right, I wasn't to go
out there. They would win the World Championships. I believe
they would win the Olympics. I'm just so ambitious that
I want to be a part of that greatness with them,
and that that's what makes it exciting for me to
kind of get back out there and.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Compete that fanatics game that you talked about. Did the
NFL player were they embarrassed? Did they stroll on to
the expecting to beat that team?
Speaker 13 (18:05):
I talked to the NFL guys. I was actually there.
I was I was there, you know, got to see
it happening live. It kind of played out the way
that I thought it would.
Speaker 11 (18:13):
You know, the championship game was a lot closer.
Speaker 13 (18:15):
They started to play more to the strategy of what
flag football is, and it's really about like you get
one or two stops, you won the game, and they
just couldn't stop Team USA.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
So to answer your questions, Stu Gotts.
Speaker 13 (18:28):
Yes, they they were embarrassed. I don't think they went
out there thinking, man, we're about to molly wop these guys, right,
But but I know talking to a few of them,
it was like, man, those guys were playing like their
lives depending on it, and guess what they did.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
You know, if you're if you're a coach and you.
Speaker 13 (18:47):
See Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan over there, and your
whoor hate caskudo, You're trying to baptize them, like like
all those college coaches are trying to baptize Bill Belichick.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
You know, Jill Burrow is playing like his life defan
that on it.
Speaker 13 (19:00):
He was because Joe was trying to Joe is trying
to show that he could he could play on the team.
And you know, I've got a good relationship with with Whosh.
Speaker 11 (19:09):
Drell du Set. He's from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Speaker 13 (19:11):
My family's from New Orleans, Louisiana, five oh four, and
he's the best flag football player in the world. I'm
not trying to go take Drell du Set's job. I
just want to play on the field with him, you
know what I'm saying, Like, have some fun and play
this in a in a in a in a really
fun way. And I've had opportunities to play in celebrity
(19:31):
flag football games with Whosh and we've played well together.
So it's like that the goal isn't to go in
there and take over. Your goal is to go in
there and be a great teammate. And and that's exactly
the approach that I'm taking.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
RGIE three. It sounds like you're almost joining like a dynasty.
Any concern that if you join and they lose, people
will start to blame you.
Speaker 13 (19:50):
Oh my goodness, listen, never not a dangerous game, because you.
Speaker 11 (19:54):
Know what.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'm telling you right now, go ahead that that.
Speaker 13 (19:57):
Would that would never happen, all right, because I can
be honest with you. You know, you look at Cali Brownson,
who really spearheaded the effort to bring me in. You know,
she is the senior director of high performance there for
USA Football, and they're going to put the best twelve.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
Guys on the team.
Speaker 13 (20:16):
So like, if you come in and you can prove
that you're one of the best twelve, then then you'll
be on the squad. And like I said, when you
have these guys that have won so much and know
the nuances of the game, you you lean on that
these guys are not going to lose. I don't know
if you guys have watched any of the games the
team USA has played.
Speaker 11 (20:34):
I mean, if you.
Speaker 13 (20:35):
Thought the Fanatics Flag Football Classic was a blowout, wait
till you watch some of those games, and they and they,
and to their credit, they are not sitting on those laurels.
They are they are actively going out and trying to
get the best players to come out and play because
they know the rest of the world doesn't want.
Speaker 11 (20:53):
To keep getting beat sixty six to twenty.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Okay, you guaranteeing gold, Robert, That's what it seems like.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
Now.
Speaker 11 (21:02):
See listen, this is this is why y'all are good
at what you do. You're trying to get some guarantees.
There's no guarantees in this thing.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
No, there's no guarantee of gold.
Speaker 13 (21:11):
And I and like I said, it's almost like Larry
Bird trying to join the ninety six Bulls, you know. Yeah,
they're like they're like, hey, we're already a dynasty. What's
going on here? And You're just like, hey, man, I
just want to be a part of it with you guys,
and let's go have some fun.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
It's like Kevin Durant joining the Warriors, right. Yes, Oh
that's a that's a more that's a more relevant.
Speaker 13 (21:31):
I was more so looking at the age because I'm
thirty six, but you're right because Kusha is actually thirty
six as well. So These aren't twenty two year olds
out there balling out. These guys have dedicated their lives
to playing flag and done it at the highest level.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
RG three.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
How do you feel because Taylor also plays flag football,
he plays on Israel's team, how do you feel about
a guy who lines up at wide receiver tells the dB, Hey,
I'm tired, I'm taking a couple of plays offs.
Speaker 13 (22:01):
That's that's a guy that's gonna get beat sixty sixty zero.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
We are zero and two, So yeah, you can't. You
can't be telling.
Speaker 13 (22:11):
Now, Listen, We've all had those guys in the past
that'd be like, man, I'm so tired, I don't know
if i can make it on this rep.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
And then they sprint full speed. Now, if you do that,
it's all good.
Speaker 13 (22:21):
But if you actually go out there and jog the rep, man,
you concede, and you can't concede.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
In sports, Robert I was I've fallen in love with
Fernando Mendoz, another Heisman guy, and I'm just curious because
I was at the gym and some people were comparing
him to the last five quarterbacks who have.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Won the Heisman, and I'm like, yeah, okay, maybe not.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
The same exact skill set, will it still transfer translate
in the pros? What do you think about Fernando in
particular and his particular skill set translating.
Speaker 13 (22:49):
No, I think Fernando's skill set starts with what's between
his ears. And I think he's had some adversity in
his college career, you know, being at Coyle, then going
to Indiana the literally the worst program in college football
D one history, most losses, and turning that bad boy
around they won a national championship.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
So I actually I love Fernando.
Speaker 13 (23:10):
I think he's a great fit for for the Las
Vegas Raiders if they decide to go in that direction,
which I think they will.
Speaker 11 (23:18):
I think there's this phrase that I hate.
Speaker 13 (23:21):
I hate when people call let's just be rail here
white quarterbacks, when they call him sneaky athletic.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I hate it.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
I just hat he's not. He's not sneaky athletic. Rana
Mendoza is athletic. He can run.
Speaker 13 (23:33):
Is he Lamar Jackson? No, he's not Lamar Jackson. But
there's no one else that's Lamar Jackson. And I was
his teammate for three years, and trust me, there's nobody
that's going to.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
Be like Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
So I think I think Fernando his willingness to run
when needed to move the chains. Uh, those are undervalued things.
And he has the arm strength and the one thing
I know he can do he can throw the vertical ball,
and in the NFL, that is something that wide receivers love,
coaches love, and he's gonna make the right decisions. So
the way he processes and takes care of everything, Yeah,
(24:04):
he might have a bunch of games where he's twenty
for twenty seven for two hundred and fifty yards and
four touchdowns, and I'm okay with that, right And I
know that he's okay with that.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
And when they need him.
Speaker 13 (24:13):
To go forty for forty five or forty for fifty
two for four hundred, he can do that as well.
So I think his skill set translates because of the
way that he approaches the game. And he has all
of the traits as they say, big arm, he's tall,
he's athletic enough that he can move the chains with
his legs. I think it's just a matter of the
Raiders just not messing it up. He looks like a
(24:34):
football nerd too. Yeah, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
And he's got Brady there. You know, as an owner
that won't.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Just be a nerd, not a football nerd.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
He's kind of softy athletic.
Speaker 13 (24:47):
He's a football card, but he's got Brady. He's a
faster Brady, you know. And I know that's that's lofty,
and you say that, but the way he processes and
the way he approaches it, that's how I envision Fanana
Mendoza Robert.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
When you look at college sports right now and il
all the money these kids are making, do you say
to yourself, a small part of yourself saying to yourself, Hey,
if I could have just been born.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
A little bit later, you know, you would have cleaned
house man.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
Yep, yep, you know you're like.
Speaker 13 (25:16):
Now, listen, I am very thankful and blessed, Like my
family has taken care for the rest.
Speaker 11 (25:22):
Of their lives.
Speaker 13 (25:24):
I do this TV thing and do the social stuff
for fun. It's not because I have to keep the
lights on.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But day, man, if it would have just been a
few years later, Like.
Speaker 13 (25:36):
Just imagine you're the only Heisman Trophy winner at a
certain school and that certain school has such a massive endowment,
and you're talking about Bailey University, so I just think that, yes,
it would have been great to be a few years later,
they had the settlement and I was like urging, you know,
people like hey, can they push the settlement back to
(25:56):
like two thousand? They pushing to two I got like
seven eight years of buffer there where I'm good. I said,
they went to twenty sixteen and still cut us all
the way out.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
So it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
We'll get you out here in a second. The last
time you bought a drink in Waco, Texas.
Speaker 11 (26:12):
Oh, bought a drink? I mean, yeah, never.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
As it should be.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
Yeah and listen.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
And when I was in school, I got a free
pizza once, and people always ask me like, hey, did
you get paid to go to college?
Speaker 11 (26:25):
And I'm like, I.
Speaker 13 (26:26):
Wish, like I wish I got paid to go to college.
But I got a free pizza once, and it was
they were so strict there that compliance knocked on my
door the next day and made me pay for the
pizza that I got that was free. So I haven't
paid for anything in wake going a really really long time.
And I'm just thankful for Bila Nation for always supporting me.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Is that your heisman trophy somewhere behind there is that.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
Yeah, yeah, that's the heisman.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
It it's just drink.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
It's just recently moved here. It was with my parents
for ten years, so you.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Know, even enclosed in anything.
Speaker 13 (27:01):
No, don't give the robbers and any ideas.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Okay, like.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
This guy talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
We don't know what city here is with the parents
upset when you took it back.
Speaker 11 (27:14):
No, no, no, they weren't upset at all.
Speaker 13 (27:17):
You know, they moved as well, so it was like, hey,
they're moving, let's move the heisman in and uh and
just have it be stationary here. And now it's cool
because you know, I'm a girl dad afore, so you know,
our daughters walk by and like, hey, daddy, what's that?
And then it's story time, so you know, get to
live those old war stories and then have some good
time with the girls.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
All right, the heisman gets its own box when when
you move right, the heisman gets its own box.
Speaker 13 (27:39):
I do have, yes, they the original box that they
sent it to us with.
Speaker 11 (27:44):
I still have that box. And it's it's pretty heavy duty.
I mean that thinks. Not only is it way a lot,
but it's also worth a lot. So got to have that.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Special box for it.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
The briefcase in pulp fiction where you open it up
and it just starts glowing and singing at you time
you open it.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
Yes, there's none of that, but it does look like
that that uh that box it does.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You're great, man. We wish you luck with this, we
really do.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I have a proposal for you if we start a show,
we do a show called God Bless Football. If we
start a new show called God Bless flag Football, would
Robert Griffin the third like to co host.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
It with me?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
What do you think we'll make a Yeah, all right,
we'll start tomorrow. All right, Robert, thank you again. Promote
the team one more time here on the way out
and what you doing and try it out and all
that good stuff.
Speaker 11 (28:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (28:34):
Man, So you're talking about USA football, five time reigning
IFAF World champions, they've won eight gold medals.
Speaker 11 (28:40):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (28:41):
This team doesn't need, in my opinion, a ton of help.
But they blessed me by bringing me in, throwing their
arms around me, teaching me the game, and allow me
to have the opportunity this year to make the team
and go win a world championship in Germany, and then
obviously set it up to where I have a you know,
a clear runway to the twenty twenty eight Olympic team,
(29:01):
which is which is the dream? All these guys that
work so hard for it. There's no greater honor than
wearing USA across your chest and being able to go
listen to the Star spangled banner as they put that
gold medal around your neck. So anyone out there that
has a dream that wants to go and make their
Olympic dream come true, and you want to play flag football,
(29:22):
you can do it. I'm gonna hopefully be able to
inspire others to kind of go forward no matter how
old you are.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
Appreciate you guys.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
A gold medal and a Heisman trophy.
Speaker 11 (29:30):
That's pretty good. RG three, be the first, be the first.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
I'd be great, Yes, I know, it would be the first.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
We appreciate it. Man. Good luck with all this. We'll
get back to you on the show.

Speaker 14 (30:56):
Apologize to me during the break? Apologize I'm sorry for apologizing.
Bleep happens live?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Ready? Yes, Taylor? Would you mind kicking off the proceedings here?
Is it just me? Or a weekly feature? Here that
Studios Company lot good.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Yeah, I could start. Is it just me? Or are
rope pats extremely overrated?
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Give me that one more time.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Rope pats the hats that have the rope of the bills, Okay,
I could do without them.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I don't like them.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
You're gonna see a lot this weekend at the Master.
There's a lot of patrons at the Masters. roAP pats
just not for me.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Never once have I said to myself, Wow, look at
that half with a rope on it.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
I don't. I don't think.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
Maybe I've noticed it, but I don't think I've recognized
it being a thing lately.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
I don't even think they're functional. I think it's just
fashion that people want ropes on.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Their heads, right, Okay, what's it say about a person
who uh trots out with one of those on?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Like it feels like, I don't know, Wealth Country Club.
What about if you bought it for someone and gave
them to them as a gift.
Speaker 15 (32:09):
Because I think I actually did that with a Master's
hat with Iowa Sam.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I think I gave him a rope hat? Does it?
Does it have a rope?
Speaker 15 (32:16):
It was a throwback one, and that's kind of that's
kind of the feel of the rope one, isn't it Taylor,
Like it's trying to be throwback but it's.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you for I need to
wear that. Yes, does it have a rope on it?
I think it does.
Speaker 15 (32:30):
Yeah, I think it does. I feel a little bad
now that I give him a rope hat.
Speaker 12 (32:34):
I like the masters is are you talking about the
silky little rope that goes between the brim and yes, exactly,
And it kind of like it's like crown molding for
like your hat, kind of.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Like it fills in the extra the core frost. You
have any more follow ups? He gave you a hat?
I mean, I know I need to wear it tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
He started, It's a great hat, great hat hat.
Speaker 11 (32:56):
I had one, but I have to change it now
because it's it just me?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Or can you not figure.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
Out the relationship between Iowa Sam and Dan Byer.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Because yeah, Dan Hage, you think they hate each other
with the way they talk each other gifts?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Is it just me?
Speaker 11 (33:13):
Or is it a strange relations.
Speaker 15 (33:14):
It's funny because because no, Stu, you got an apology.
We got five minutes of excuses on why you know
the son didn't play so it's a total different story
on this side of the mic.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
I get a different Iowa Sam.
Speaker 15 (33:27):
Yes, you get the des Moines, Iowa Sam, we get
the Cedar Rapids, Iowa Sam.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
That sounds like except said steps on situation and that Dan,
it's just like very much disappointed but also has to
buy him gifts regularly.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Let's go to board Ricardo, who's always watching baseball?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I'll go ahead, regard.
Speaker 13 (33:46):
Actually socks are up five five to nothing on the
Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
Right now, if anyone's interested, which likes so my own?
Speaker 7 (33:54):
What is the game again? Red? It's just me? Or
is it just me?
Speaker 10 (33:58):
Or?
Speaker 7 (33:59):
I still haven't gotten used to il to d L.
Speaker 11 (34:02):
I still call people when they go on hurt or anything.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
The d L.
Speaker 11 (34:05):
It's not the IO.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
It's been around for ten years.
Speaker 11 (34:08):
I'm still not used to it.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
By the way, I am I have with no idea
what you're talking about injured list.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
Yes, yes, I think that's why they got rid of
Maybe they got rid of it because of the d O.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Yeah, they didn't like the free has different meanings.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yes, Yes, let's go to update anchor. Dan here, Dan,
do you have one today?
Speaker 10 (34:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Is it just me?
Speaker 15 (34:27):
Or did Michigan go a little overboard with the Shock
the World.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Stuff on Monday? I mean, I know it was a
throwback to eighty nine, but it's not.
Speaker 15 (34:33):
Like they weren't one of the best three teams all
season long, or a number one seed or won the
Big Ten by four games, or that anybody in Europe
or the Middle East would care on what was happening
in Indianapolis on a random Monday in April.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
It's a great one. Put it on the Paul Taylor.
Can you be a one seed? In Shock the World?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
It's just people in India with their hands on their face, like,
oh my god, Michigan, Iowa sad?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You ready? You got one to so you do? Is
it just me?
Speaker 12 (35:02):
Or does it feel like every commercial and network TV
you're watching, you know, men's basketball, whatever. So I feel
like every commercial, whether it's human voicing, voiceover or AI whatever,
is always Brian Cranston's voice. It always just feels like
he's doing Ford. But then it's like it's like it's
got to be a commercial. Like there's something about his
(35:22):
voice that every voiceover ad promoter loves.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
It's like Verry Cranston.
Speaker 12 (35:27):
It's like Brian Cranston, but I can't tell if it's
just like a knockoff of Bran Cranson.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Brian Cranston once wore my headphones. Yeah, that's all I
have to say.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Later that yes, I was there. Never watched them again.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
You and Dan had the day off?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Was EP? Jason Sadana right, EP, Jason? Do you have
on forest today? Guys?
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Is it just me? Or are the Blue Jays just
not a good baseball team? They've lost what like seven
of the last day to bad teams and then they're
about to get swept by the Dodgers. They just went
to the World Series and we're like a pitch away
from winning it last October.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Is it just me? Or what? I don't know. I
think Taylor's with you.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
I got to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, it's earlier. Yeah, let's good easy.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Is it just me? Or is technology going crazy fast?
Because what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Bryson to Shambo made a five iron out of a
three D printer that he's going to play with at AUGUSTA.
I have no idea what kind of things that a
three D printer could do, but never did I think
I can create.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
A five iron out of it.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
That is Bryson to Shambo in a nutshell. I mean
he is the guy who brought a protractor out to
the course.
Speaker 11 (36:29):
It is a nut.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
He loves a gimmick he does. He's a gimmick. Golfer lord,
what is that?
Speaker 11 (36:34):
He's a really good.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
They sell five irons at the store. Go buy one,
all right?
Speaker 1 (36:43):
My term just me or when you pass someone illegally
on a single lane road, you then have to pin
it after you pass him.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Pin it means you.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Can't pass someone and then go five miles per hour.
Once you pass someone, you gotta pass him and continue
to go eighty.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Five miles around.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
You have to never see that person ever again.
Speaker 7 (37:02):
