This is the best of Stu Gotson Company Live on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
A lot to get to today is real goody Eras
is off. He will hopefully be back with us tomorrow.
Trey Wingo going to join us at about fifteen minutes.
We have the week Ken observations as well a hour
number two, and Jason Hare, the director of a new
Novak Djokovic documentary which is coming out in a week
or so. He'll join us an hour number two as well.
(00:41):
Let's start here though, with Mikey A and Taylor. First off,
congratulations to Mikey A and his son's little league team.
They were Mikey, what they win? You're more excited than
he is. I know you're committed to this in a
way that he's not. So what did they win?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
They won the New England Regional. They went as high
as they could go for their age group in Little
League and they won it all all right, so undefeated
through the regionals.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, congratulations to you, not to your son, just to you.
Your son doesn't care to me.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I listen, he didn't have to pay for the hotel
room for nine days. He didn't lose his voice screaming
for him. Yes, all he did was hit and play defense.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I paid and I screamed, that's right, and I danced.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I am very excited because we'll get to Taylor's winners
and losers from preseason week one. I have done these
during the regular season. I have never done an addition
of winners and losers for a preseason week one. This
is very exciting Taylor. But let's start with Jackson Dart,
because I believe Taylor has some issues with the narrative
surroundings Jackson Dart. He took a monster hit. Man like
(01:55):
Jackson Dart doesn't need the offensive line's help getting concussed,
and the offensive line in a preseason game just left
him wide open to get nailed by a linebacker and
he had to go to the blue tent. Why because
that's where he lives.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yeah, the running back missed the block, clear miss there.
My problem with this there feels like it's a disingenuous narrative.
Around Dart because yes, he goes to the blue Tent
a lot, but he doesn't really have the concussion issues
where people are tweeting about it. This tweet comes from
rang Sharp. Jackson Dart has made five trips to the
(02:31):
blue medical tent in a ten game span last year,
one game into twenty twenty six. One trip to the
blue medical tent simply not sustainable on the surface. Yes,
Jackson Dart is making trips to the Blue medical Tent
a lot, but he's only he's been cleared five out
of those six times where he goes to the blue tent. Right,
(02:52):
and the narrative around Jackson Dart feels like Jackson Dart
has to change the way he has to play. Jackson
Dart is this fragile quarterback in New York. Do I
think he has to adjust the way he plays a bit? Yes,
because some of the times when he runs it is
a bit reckless where he's just throwing his body to
the wind. But he's not Tua. And while I get
player safety is the ultimate goal, I'm kind of with
(03:14):
Jackson Dart where the sound of Jackson Dart being like,
I'm just as puzzled as anybody else why I keep
going to the medical tent where we're at the stage
where if you make contact with Jackson Dart, it's an
automatic visit to the blue Tent.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I think he enjoys going there. I do like a retreat.
It's like a little home on the sideline for him.
He just hangs out in there. I mean, he's got
pictures of.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
His family on the walls.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
He hasn't like on Survivor, like a trick to the sanctuary.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
He has a picture of the darts. Mikey, how do
you feel about this? By the way, what Taylor is
saying is he has a high percentage when he goes
into the blue tent. He is coming out of the
Blue tent just about every time and going right back
on that football field.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
He's batting eight hundred in no concussion.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I get that, But at the same time, you just
can't take those hits so often.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
You're saying, he's not like Tua ware every time.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
But Tua wasn't like Tua until he was like, at
some point, you're gonna get one of those hits that's
going to open the floodgates to all of the other
concussions that can come.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
But I think what Taylor is saying, and I kind
of agree with him on this, and Jackson is saying
it as well. I was surprised by the mobility of
Jackson Dark coming from Mississippi into the NFL. I was
not aware he could run and was as athletic as
he has shown here through one year in the NFL.
And I think what Taylor is trying to say is,
don't take that part of the game out of Jackson,
(04:41):
don't make him think too much. Let him just be
who he is and play quarterback because he appears to
be very good at it.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
I mean, we're in a situation right now where every
spotter is on high alert every time Jackson Dart gets
hit where it's an automatic scent to the tent. And yes,
you're the NFL is trying to tech Jackson Dart. I
understand that, but taking him out of the game for
every time he gets touched where he's not getting hit
in the pocket more than the average quarterback, but he
(05:10):
is getting sent to the blue medical tent more. And
it's not like every time he's going he's getting he's
getting ruled out of the game with a concussion. He's
just coming back five plays later.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
The NFL is not concerned about Just so we're clear,
not concerned about Jackson Dart. They're protecting themselves. They lost
a lawsuit. They lost the concussion lawsuit. It was hundreds
of millions of dollars paying all kinds of former players.
And of course they're gonna be cautious when it comes
to concussions and head injuries in the NFL. Literally, they're
losing money if it happens. I mean, guys are suing them.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yes, My larger point is that I have a problem
with everybody saying that Jackson Dart has a concussion issue.
Just to be clear, if we want the right narrative out,
he has a blue tent issue.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
He doesn't have a concussion issue yet.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But what he does have is he gets hit harder,
it seems than anyone.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
He hasn't gotten the concussions, but there are a lot
of quarterbacks who have running as part of their game
that don't get hit the way he is getting hit. Like,
he has to learn how to get himself down in
a better way than he has been because right now
it is tee off on him and he's luckily not
getting the concussions at the rate that the NFL seems
(06:25):
to think he might be getting them, but he is
still getting hit harder than say a Patrick Mahomes or
a Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, all these guys who
run but don't get hit that way.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Yeah, but Mikey, don't you think there's something to it
where if Jackson Dart and Josh Allen both get hit
the same way, the people who are up there, who
are in charge of it, have more of a chance
of sending Jackson Dart to the blue tent because it
is Jackson Dart and we just, for some reason, just
keep sending him to the blue tent labor andover.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
He has a history, Josh Allen does it. I mean,
I'm certain they're cautious with two as well, don't you think,
I mean Jackson Dart does. It's a short history. And
I granted he's walked into that blue tent six times
and five times he has come out and gone back
on the football field. But he does have issues with
head injuries. That's why they're being cautious, right.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
I think he has the same amount of concussions as
somebody like Josh Allen.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Well, it's a.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Lot Allen's been playing for.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
It's a lot shorter of a sample sizer.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Josh Allen goes into that blue tent. It's a cup
of coffee. I mean, I'm telling you it's a shot
of espresso. That guy is not in there for more
than thirty seconds. He walks in, gives someone a wink,
and he walked right back.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
As he's not even giving somebody a wink. There's nobody
in that blue tent when Josh Allen, it's just him. Yeah,
it's the Homer Senson going in. And now like Josh
Allen just goes in, he signs his name in and
then he signs right back out.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
He walks in and says, what the hell are the
darts doing hanging there?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And then he leaves. Is there a mailbox here? And
what are we doing with the blue tent being the
darts house? Do we have a mailbox that to say
that the arts on it is the mail? But I
guess everyone knows we're just send Jackson dart nail. So
let's get to winners and losers from a preseason week
number one. Wow exciting, oh wow football winners and losers.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
So I have three winners and three losers.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No one really won and no one really lost. The
to you, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I'll start with a winner. Wow, Fernando Mendoza.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Big time. He's good.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
You could just look at Fernando Mendoza and right away, Stu,
he passes the eye test.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
You look at him and you say that guy belongs.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yep, no doubt, Yes he belongs. Kirk Cousins is going
to be the weak one started though he played well,
Kirk Cousins. But I am with you on Mendoza. He
looked the part that's important.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
My biggest loser yep. Cam Ward really yeah. So I
was hoping to see a step with cam Ward, and
that's what you really want to see in a second
year quarterback.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
You want to see that step that they take.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It's a leap year. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Is it a leap year or a step year?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
He has to make a big lead. I don't know.
Put it on the poll. Is it a step year
or elite year for cam Ward?
Speaker 6 (09:09):
And then when you're.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Watching cam Ward against the forty nine ers, the forty
nine ers rested as starters in the game, and Ward
was still five of twelve passing fifty seven yards fifty
six points six passer rating, And you guys are gonna
like this Titans play.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
The Jets Week one. Yeah, I've now got that as
a Jets win.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I don't like that. Why would I like that?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Why would I like?
Speaker 6 (09:32):
This Jets team is sneaky. You saw Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Garrett Wilson. Garrett Wilson's not going to be in my winners.
But Garrett Wilson is a winner.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Well, you can't be a winner and be on the Jets.
Put it on the poll. Can you be a winner
and be on the New York Jets.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
You can't do it, Garrett Wilson. There, I believe Garrett
Wilson could be a top five.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Aaron Rodgers his entire career, winner, winner, clutch winner, winner,
get to the Jets bears the Achilles loser. I mean,
that's what happens when you go to the Jets. There
are no winners, just losers. Can't do it.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
You guys are so down on this Jets team. Why
I like this Jets team forty years?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, but you know yesterday, Yesterday's team is not today's team, right.
The team is different. The twenty sixteen Jets have no
impact on the twenty twenty six Jets. It's a new
year for Aaron Glenn, who's probably gonna be the first
coach fired.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You're right there. Every year it's different, the team is different,
the results are exactly the same. Any other winners for
the weekend?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
My next winner, the more.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Connection looks good, It looks really hate Savior.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yes, I was thinking, is there a chance Dj Moore
could be the best receiver that Josh Allen has played with?
I know Stefan Diggs was great there and he said
a lot of franchise marks in Buffalo, but on paper,
talent wise, DJ Moore and Stefan Diggs go toe to
toe with each other.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Right, this is how it works, he is right now,
until they don't make it to the AFC Championship game
with the Super Bowl, and then it's DJ Moore's fault
and not Josh Allens. Is that fair, Mikey. That's usually
the way it works with Josh ally bringing another receiver,
someone better than Dj Moore.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Come on down, Michael Pittman, your next stop, all.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Right, give us another loser here before Drey Wing go.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Michael Lafleur, the Cardinals head coach, giving Jeremiah Love double
digit carries in a preseason game should be considered malpractice?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
From coach put it on the poll. Uh, giving Jeremiah
Love double digit carries in a preseason game? Should he
be sued for malpractice?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
You agree, Mikey, Yes, I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I just wonder where Lafleur got his doctorate that he's getting, uh, malpractice,
getting malpractice.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Because you're looking at Jeremiah Love. Now he has a
high ankle spray and the Cardinals are left hoping he
can return in four weeks for a week one game
at the Chargers.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
It's not looking that good to me.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
That show us at the new toy. That's all it is.
It's like trying to just of it. No one thinks
you should take a running back in the first round.
They took one very high, and that's just kind of
justifying a pick that no one else thinks you should
have made.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
That's all the best thing that could happen to the
Cardinals is he goes out for the year and then
they get two rookies next year, a quarterback and a
running back, and they're.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Like, hey, little slipper, we got now.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Carries.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yea, if you have three running backs, Mikey what does
that mean?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
I mean, you know, I may I have one more loser.
The Bengals offensive line. Joe Burrow got folded like a
cheap lawn chair the second play of the game. Joe
Burrow's been sacked forty or more times three times in
his NFL career. The Bengals traded for Dexter Lawrence that
(12:44):
number ten pick. They could have gotten somebody like Francis maw.
We knowah that the Giants wound up drafting Wit said,
pick your most valuable asset. If you're the Cincinnati Bengals,
is Joe Burrow start acting like it?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
But he wanted a line name.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Burrow wanted one.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Yeah, but if you're this Bengals team, you have to
kind of go in with the mindset we're gonna have
to score sixty points a game to win. You have
Joe Burrow, you have t Higgins, you have Jamar Chase.
Give Joe Burrow time in the pocket so he could
assess what he has to do to carry your defense.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Right. I think the Bengals are going to be fine.
They're my Super Bowl pick out of the AFC. How
about that terrible pick? I pick them every year.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I'm out the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
How about that, Mikey, do you have a winner or
a loser from the weekend? I know this wasn't your topic,
but do you have one anyway?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
All the other New England states when they played Connecticut
in the Little League regional tournament.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I have a big winner, less Snead Sean McVay. They
took ty Simpson. No one thought they should have tooken
ty Simpson. Now they have their quarterback when Matthew Stafford
gets hurt, and they have their quarterback for the next
fifteen years. I mean, seriously, he's the MVP of the
preseason through Week one. How about that?
Speaker 5 (13:55):
It's crazy. It's crazy to see when a team runs
itself like a.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Organization, well with forward thinking.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, just like it's just like a system, like we
just draft the next guy. We churn out great players,
we trade out picks, and we replace them.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Which is exactly why me and Mikey are frustrated with
the Jets. Who's starting a quarterback for the Jets this year? Gino,
a guy that was terrible for them twelve years ago. Okay,
club Nick, that's my guy.
Speaker 2 (14:28):

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Williams, the splendid Splinter.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
And then with my snake pick coming around, I'm gonna
diversify my sports.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Bobby or wow, I am losing.
Speaker 1 (17:52):

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I'll take Ray Bork good pick. And then the guy
went to Colorado won a Stanley Cup there. They had
a parade for him in Boston. Here here I'll go

Yes?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Okay? Uh?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
From my fourth I'm gonna take Randy Moss terrible.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I can't believe I'm getting this pick in the fourth round.
Bill Russell, Oh.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Wow, that's a great pick forgot Bill Russell.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I wanted I wanted to mix up the sports, and.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I think you can make you the argument Tom Brady,
Ted Williams, Bobby or Bill Russell is the Mount Rushmore
of Boston sports.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Well, that's up to Chris, I believe be sure. I'm
sure Jim Craig's not on there. All right, Chris, give
us a third place, second place?
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Well, okay, you want, you want all the places, you
want all the places.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I mean, Taylor's running away with it.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
We didn't even get Kevin Garnett on this list anywhere
after that, after that, Mikey, because there's no rules. There's
no rules whatsoever about length of time, Babe Ruth and
putting Randy Mawson there. I think elevates at Stu Gotts
comes in third and you're winner by technical knockout.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Israel Good Tierras who's.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Not even here. Chris hates the United States. I mean
that's I mean, Jim Craig, how was that a bad pick?
He played at BU? He's from Massachusetts, He's the most
famous goalie in the history of hockey.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
I think you could have taken Bob Coosey, Gronk, Paul Pierce, Patruth, berger.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
On Garnett, any of these head of Jim Craig.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company

Speaker 1 (20:02):
We'll get to do me a favor here in just
a second hour. Thanks to Jason Hare for joining us
in that last segment. Mike yea, what'd you make of
Taylor's pitch there to have Miracle on Ice be a
Broadway play? I mean, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
It's not ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
It is a moneymaker that I am surprised that we
haven't done. I mean al Michael's singing do you believe
in miracle? Like that's your headliner.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Right there, right yes?
Speaker 4 (20:29):

didn't even hear it, snuck it in there.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I want to play a Russian. I want to play
a Russian.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Taylor, never start negotiations with fifty to fifty, all right,
let him bring you to fifty to fifty don't start
at fifty to fifty.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
You know, yeah, I got a little star truck because
he directed the last dance, and I just I've had
this idea that it would translate so well to broad
Way that I just wanted to try to get it
to life. So that's why I went in with fifty
to fifty.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
He was being nice, though, right, I mean, there's no
way he likes I don't know like he liked it,
and Mikey, hey, loves it. Can I hear you sing
that again?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Forget about how.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Michael believe me, recalls me, recalls on us. Let's get
to do me a favor. Give me the music. I
don't want to recording him you singing that for the
remaxer just on a loop.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
I'm gonna start writing this music. If being Mikey.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Shake ky jiggling, yes, but now I want Mikey to
actually voice it, not out Michael's get out of here.
Speaker 6 (21:41):

finish line.

Are all right? What do you got here? I'll do
me a favorite, Tell do me a favor.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Enough with AP preseason polls, I am so over them.
They mean absolutely nothing for AP Preseason Poll comes out today.
Eighteen of the last nineteen polls have had at least
one preseason Top ten team finish the season on rank.
Exactly half of AP preseason Top twenty five teams the
past two years end of the season on rank.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
They mean absolutely nothing.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
You don't have to look any further than last year
they said Penn State and Clemson were to top five
teams in the AP Preseason Poll.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Both stunk.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You need like a I understand what you're saying. But
if we all know they're nonsense and mean nothing, who cares.
It's benign. It's an AP pole be starting point.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
That's all.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Nobody goes into it with them saying that it's nonsense
because last year everybody was like, man, here comes Kate
Clubnick and this Clemson team, And this is how you
could tell people don't watch college football, that only watch
the NFL. If you're trying to convince yourself today that
Drew Aller and Kate Clubnick are gonna be good NFL quarterbacks,
that's how I know. You didn't watch them play at
Penn State in Clemson.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Respect me, but if you do, you're a Jet fan.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, that's what you are right, but Aler was coached
by James Franklin.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
I mean that's the one I'm willing to go back
on a little because Aler has always had the tools
to put it all together. Now, if you're giving him
Mike McCarthy and he's sitting behind Aaron Rodgers and learning, okay,
I'm a little more willing to forgive Drew Aller for
being an absolute disaster in Happy Valley.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
All Right, I'm sorry because Dabo Sweeney is.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Just a plethora quarterback, which high end quarterbacks, because I
mean Trevor Lawrence, we're still asking if he's any good.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Yes, funny that you should mention that Mina Kaimes has
Trevor Lawrence as her sneaky MVP pick.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Really she's wrong.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
I mean it's really sneaky. It's like too sneaky.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I mean, no one knows more football than Mina. I'm serious,
But he's wrong on this one. That's where I draw
the line.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Do me a favor, Mina pick somebody else.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
I was gonna use that, all right, I'll go, all right,
what do you got?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
As Taylor did? One that happens every year. I will
also bring one that happens every year at this time.
Do me a favor. I don't care about your fantasy
team like I care about my fantasy team. I don't
care about my fantasy league. I don't care about yours.
This is draft season. Everybody's picking their guys. And I
got a friend who calls me. He's like, hey, hey, hey,
gets who I got in the third round?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Guess what? I don't care. Do me a favor. Keep
it to yourself.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Interesting.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
I'm with you there.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Really couldn't care less about your bets, couldn't care less
about your fantasy football team.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
So why don't we share your or your golf handicap
or your poker hands. I don't care about any of
them unless I am directly involved.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
This is all I have. Though, you take the hint
you don't care about me.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
I mean, yeah, the guy who walks in and like,
look at this parlay I hit for fifty dollars this weekend.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Okay, buddy, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Tell me about all.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
How many did you miss to get here?
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Yeah, give me a favor.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Look at this parlay I won. I'm still down two
thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
In favor, and shove that ticket where the sun doesn't shine, buddy.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You're thirty one years old.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Man, I use buddy alarmingly high rate. What happened, I
couldn't remember what the word rate was.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I mean I use buddy as well. That's because I
can't remember anyone's name, and so everyone is buddy to me.
I mean, you're up, pal, Do me a favor. Everyone
stop telling me that I can't get excited about preseason football.
We wait for football. We talk about waiting for football,
(25:28):
we talk about how much we miss football. I don't
care that the games don't matter. It's football, and it's
being played on a football field, and it's on my TV.
And this is the way I do preseason. I told
Chris Simms this last week. Okay, I have it on,
so I feel good that football is on. I peek
over to one of the TVs and Drew Aller standing there,
(25:48):
and he looks the part and he passes the sniff test.
And you know what, I say to myself, hmm maybe.
And I gotta tell you something.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I enjoy the hell out of doing that. I really do.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I enjoy looking at a television screen not knowing who
the guy is, not knowing that the Steelers drafted a
guy who was projected as a top five pick before
last year started. I look at him. I see him
at quarterback. I see him in the uniform, I see
him in the Steelers jersey, and I say to myself.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Stude to your credit, and Drew Aller leads the league
and looking the part.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
He does look the part.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Really, that's part of Drew Holler's downfall at past State
because everybody would look at him once he puts on
a jersey and he's like, my god, Wow, that guy
looks like he can sling it.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, Mikey, how do you feel about preseason? It's fun
doing that. I watch a quarterback Hayinesking, and I say, huh.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I have not watched one snap, and I won't watch
one snap.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Because because the problem is it is not at all football,
it is it is a padded practice, padded practice.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
When he watches the to lose, he wants them, watches
them lose for real,

A lot to get to today is real goody Eras

Trey Wingo going to join us at about fifteen minutes.
We have the week Ken observations as well a hour
number two, and Jason Hare, the director of a new
Novak Djokovic documentary which is coming out in a week
or so. He'll join us an hour number two as well.
(00:41):
Let's start here though, with Mikey A and Taylor. First off,
congratulations to Mikey A and his son's little league team.
They were Mikey, what they win? You're more excited than
he is. I know you're committed to this in a
way that he's not. So what did they win?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
They won the New England Regional. They went as high
as they could go for their age group in Little
League and they won it all all right, so undefeated
through the regionals.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, congratulations to you, not to your son, just to you.
Your son doesn't care to me.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I listen, he didn't have to pay for the hotel
room for nine days. He didn't lose his voice screaming
for him. Yes, all he did was hit and play defense.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I paid and I screamed, that's right, and I danced.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I am very excited because we'll get to Taylor's winners
and losers from preseason week one. I have done these
during the regular season. I have never done an addition
of winners and losers for a preseason week one. This
is very exciting Taylor. But let's start with Jackson Dart,
because I believe Taylor has some issues with the narrative
surroundings Jackson Dart. He took a monster hit. Man like
(01:55):
Jackson Dart doesn't need the offensive line's help getting concussed,
and the offensive line in a preseason game just left
him wide open to get nailed by a linebacker and
he had to go to the blue tent. Why because
that's where he lives.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yeah, the running back missed the block, clear miss there.
My problem with this there feels like it's a disingenuous narrative.
Around Dart because yes, he goes to the blue Tent
a lot, but he doesn't really have the concussion issues
where people are tweeting about it. This tweet comes from
rang Sharp. Jackson Dart has made five trips to the
(02:31):
blue medical tent in a ten game span last year,
one game into twenty twenty six. One trip to the
blue medical tent simply not sustainable on the surface. Yes,
Jackson Dart is making trips to the Blue medical Tent
a lot, but he's only he's been cleared five out
of those six times where he goes to the blue tent. Right,
(02:52):
and the narrative around Jackson Dart feels like Jackson Dart
has to change the way he has to play. Jackson
Dart is this fragile quarterback in New York. Do I
think he has to adjust the way he plays a bit? Yes,
because some of the times when he runs it is
a bit reckless where he's just throwing his body to
the wind. But he's not Tua. And while I get
player safety is the ultimate goal, I'm kind of with
(03:14):
Jackson Dart where the sound of Jackson Dart being like,
I'm just as puzzled as anybody else why I keep
going to the medical tent where we're at the stage
where if you make contact with Jackson Dart, it's an
automatic visit to the blue Tent.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I think he enjoys going there. I do like a retreat.
It's like a little home on the sideline for him.
He just hangs out in there. I mean, he's got
pictures of.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
His family on the walls.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
He hasn't like on Survivor, like a trick to the sanctuary.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
He has a picture of the darts. Mikey, how do
you feel about this? By the way, what Taylor is
saying is he has a high percentage when he goes
into the blue tent. He is coming out of the
Blue tent just about every time and going right back
on that football field.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
He's batting eight hundred in no concussion.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I get that, But at the same time, you just
can't take those hits so often.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
You're saying, he's not like Tua ware every time.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
But Tua wasn't like Tua until he was like, at
some point, you're gonna get one of those hits that's
going to open the floodgates to all of the other
concussions that can come.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
But I think what Taylor is saying, and I kind
of agree with him on this, and Jackson is saying
it as well. I was surprised by the mobility of
Jackson Dark coming from Mississippi into the NFL. I was
not aware he could run and was as athletic as
he has shown here through one year in the NFL.
And I think what Taylor is trying to say is,
don't take that part of the game out of Jackson,
(04:41):
don't make him think too much. Let him just be
who he is and play quarterback because he appears to
be very good at it.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
I mean, we're in a situation right now where every
spotter is on high alert every time Jackson Dart gets
hit where it's an automatic scent to the tent. And yes,
you're the NFL is trying to tech Jackson Dart. I
understand that, but taking him out of the game for
every time he gets touched where he's not getting hit
in the pocket more than the average quarterback, but he
(05:10):
is getting sent to the blue medical tent more. And
it's not like every time he's going he's getting he's
getting ruled out of the game with a concussion. He's
just coming back five plays later.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
The NFL is not concerned about Just so we're clear,
not concerned about Jackson Dart. They're protecting themselves. They lost
a lawsuit. They lost the concussion lawsuit. It was hundreds
of millions of dollars paying all kinds of former players.
And of course they're gonna be cautious when it comes
to concussions and head injuries in the NFL. Literally, they're
losing money if it happens. I mean, guys are suing them.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yes, My larger point is that I have a problem
with everybody saying that Jackson Dart has a concussion issue.
Just to be clear, if we want the right narrative out,
he has a blue tent issue.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
He doesn't have a concussion issue yet.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But what he does have is he gets hit harder,
it seems than anyone.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
He hasn't gotten the concussions, but there are a lot
of quarterbacks who have running as part of their game
that don't get hit the way he is getting hit. Like,
he has to learn how to get himself down in
a better way than he has been because right now
it is tee off on him and he's luckily not
getting the concussions at the rate that the NFL seems
(06:25):
to think he might be getting them, but he is
still getting hit harder than say a Patrick Mahomes or
a Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, all these guys who
run but don't get hit that way.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Yeah, but Mikey, don't you think there's something to it
where if Jackson Dart and Josh Allen both get hit
the same way, the people who are up there, who
are in charge of it, have more of a chance
of sending Jackson Dart to the blue tent because it
is Jackson Dart and we just, for some reason, just
keep sending him to the blue tent labor andover.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
He has a history, Josh Allen does it. I mean,
I'm certain they're cautious with two as well, don't you think,
I mean Jackson Dart does. It's a short history. And
I granted he's walked into that blue tent six times
and five times he has come out and gone back
on the football field. But he does have issues with
head injuries. That's why they're being cautious, right.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
I think he has the same amount of concussions as
somebody like Josh Allen.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Well, it's a.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Lot Allen's been playing for.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
It's a lot shorter of a sample sizer.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Josh Allen goes into that blue tent. It's a cup
of coffee. I mean, I'm telling you it's a shot
of espresso. That guy is not in there for more
than thirty seconds. He walks in, gives someone a wink,
and he walked right back.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
As he's not even giving somebody a wink. There's nobody
in that blue tent when Josh Allen, it's just him. Yeah,
it's the Homer Senson going in. And now like Josh
Allen just goes in, he signs his name in and
then he signs right back out.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
He walks in and says, what the hell are the
darts doing hanging there?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And then he leaves. Is there a mailbox here? And
what are we doing with the blue tent being the
darts house? Do we have a mailbox that to say
that the arts on it is the mail? But I
guess everyone knows we're just send Jackson dart nail. So
let's get to winners and losers from a preseason week
number one. Wow exciting, oh wow football winners and losers.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
So I have three winners and three losers.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No one really won and no one really lost. The
to you, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I'll start with a winner. Wow, Fernando Mendoza.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Big time. He's good.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
You could just look at Fernando Mendoza and right away, Stu,
he passes the eye test.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
You look at him and you say that guy belongs.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yep, no doubt, Yes he belongs. Kirk Cousins is going
to be the weak one started though he played well,
Kirk Cousins. But I am with you on Mendoza. He
looked the part that's important.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
My biggest loser yep. Cam Ward really yeah. So I
was hoping to see a step with cam Ward, and
that's what you really want to see in a second
year quarterback.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
You want to see that step that they take.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It's a leap year. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Is it a leap year or a step year?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
He has to make a big lead. I don't know.
Put it on the poll. Is it a step year
or elite year for cam Ward?
Speaker 6 (09:09):
And then when you're.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Watching cam Ward against the forty nine ers, the forty
nine ers rested as starters in the game, and Ward
was still five of twelve passing fifty seven yards fifty
six points six passer rating, And you guys are gonna
like this Titans play.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
The Jets Week one. Yeah, I've now got that as
a Jets win.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I don't like that. Why would I like that?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Why would I like?
Speaker 6 (09:32):
This Jets team is sneaky. You saw Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Garrett Wilson. Garrett Wilson's not going to be in my winners.
But Garrett Wilson is a winner.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Well, you can't be a winner and be on the Jets.
Put it on the poll. Can you be a winner
and be on the New York Jets.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
You can't do it, Garrett Wilson. There, I believe Garrett
Wilson could be a top five.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Aaron Rodgers his entire career, winner, winner, clutch winner, winner,
get to the Jets bears the Achilles loser. I mean,
that's what happens when you go to the Jets. There
are no winners, just losers. Can't do it.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
You guys are so down on this Jets team. Why
I like this Jets team forty years?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, but you know yesterday, Yesterday's team is not today's team, right.
The team is different. The twenty sixteen Jets have no
impact on the twenty twenty six Jets. It's a new
year for Aaron Glenn, who's probably gonna be the first
coach fired.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You're right there. Every year it's different, the team is different,
the results are exactly the same. Any other winners for
the weekend?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
My next winner, the more.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Connection looks good, It looks really hate Savior.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yes, I was thinking, is there a chance Dj Moore
could be the best receiver that Josh Allen has played with?
I know Stefan Diggs was great there and he said
a lot of franchise marks in Buffalo, but on paper,
talent wise, DJ Moore and Stefan Diggs go toe to
toe with each other.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Right, this is how it works, he is right now,
until they don't make it to the AFC Championship game
with the Super Bowl, and then it's DJ Moore's fault
and not Josh Allens. Is that fair, Mikey. That's usually
the way it works with Josh ally bringing another receiver,
someone better than Dj Moore.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Come on down, Michael Pittman, your next stop, all.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Right, give us another loser here before Drey Wing go.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Michael Lafleur, the Cardinals head coach, giving Jeremiah Love double
digit carries in a preseason game should be considered malpractice?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
From coach put it on the poll. Uh, giving Jeremiah
Love double digit carries in a preseason game? Should he
be sued for malpractice?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
You agree, Mikey, Yes, I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I just wonder where Lafleur got his doctorate that he's getting, uh, malpractice,
getting malpractice.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Because you're looking at Jeremiah Love. Now he has a
high ankle spray and the Cardinals are left hoping he
can return in four weeks for a week one game
at the Chargers.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
It's not looking that good to me.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
That show us at the new toy. That's all it is.
It's like trying to just of it. No one thinks
you should take a running back in the first round.
They took one very high, and that's just kind of
justifying a pick that no one else thinks you should
have made.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
That's all the best thing that could happen to the
Cardinals is he goes out for the year and then
they get two rookies next year, a quarterback and a
running back, and they're.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Like, hey, little slipper, we got now.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Carries.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yea, if you have three running backs, Mikey what does
that mean?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
I mean, you know, I may I have one more loser.
The Bengals offensive line. Joe Burrow got folded like a
cheap lawn chair the second play of the game. Joe
Burrow's been sacked forty or more times three times in
his NFL career. The Bengals traded for Dexter Lawrence that
(12:44):
number ten pick. They could have gotten somebody like Francis maw.
We knowah that the Giants wound up drafting Wit said,
pick your most valuable asset. If you're the Cincinnati Bengals,
is Joe Burrow start acting like it?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
But he wanted a line name.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Burrow wanted one.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Yeah, but if you're this Bengals team, you have to
kind of go in with the mindset we're gonna have
to score sixty points a game to win. You have
Joe Burrow, you have t Higgins, you have Jamar Chase.
Give Joe Burrow time in the pocket so he could
assess what he has to do to carry your defense.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Right. I think the Bengals are going to be fine.
They're my Super Bowl pick out of the AFC. How
about that terrible pick? I pick them every year.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I'm out the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
How about that, Mikey, do you have a winner or
a loser from the weekend? I know this wasn't your topic,
but do you have one anyway?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
All the other New England states when they played Connecticut
in the Little League regional tournament.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I have a big winner, less Snead Sean McVay. They
took ty Simpson. No one thought they should have tooken
ty Simpson. Now they have their quarterback when Matthew Stafford
gets hurt, and they have their quarterback for the next
fifteen years. I mean, seriously, he's the MVP of the
preseason through Week one. How about that?
Speaker 5 (13:55):
It's crazy. It's crazy to see when a team runs
itself like a.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Organization, well with forward thinking.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, just like it's just like a system, like we
just draft the next guy. We churn out great players,
we trade out picks, and we replace them.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Which is exactly why me and Mikey are frustrated with
the Jets. Who's starting a quarterback for the Jets this year? Gino,
a guy that was terrible for them twelve years ago. Okay,
club Nick, that's my guy.
Speaker 2 (14:28):

state of Massachusetts. How about that?
Speaker 6 (15:56):
Do we have a draft order?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I don't know do we How about that him first?
Speaker 6 (16:01):
He's picking second.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Stuve's got the snake picks? Uh with the one to
one pick. Anytime you get a chance to get the goat,
you do it. Tom Brady, easy, easy, peasy, racing.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
To get their cards.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yep, we gotta we gotta do this quickly. And Dan
Buyer is off and Chris is judging today, and I
don't feel comfortable about that, but anyway, go ahead, Mikey.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Uh number two pick, give me Larry Legend, give me
gimme Larry Bird, every.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Bird really.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
That bird snake picks too?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, I got it. Jim Craig is going to be
my first one. I mean he was the goal league
for the I got your nineteen to eighty hockey terrible pick?
How was that a terrible pick?
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Really horrific?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Want me to change it? Nope?
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Nope, No, it's in pen too late?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
What do you mean? It's in penn?
Speaker 6 (16:54):
I actually down? Actually sharp?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Who wrote it down? I wrote it down, Christy?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
So TikTok's due. It's a coin flip now between me
and Mikey Chris.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Today. All right, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go
with Poppy Big Poppy David Ortiz. There we go, Jim Craig,
David Ortiz from.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Me, I'm I'm gonna take uh, babe.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
This one. This is a terrible pick too.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
That's a great one. How is that a terrible?
Speaker 6 (17:27):
A cup of coffee?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
He had a couple of coffee with he played in box.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I didn't know it was I didn't know it was.
How what they did there?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Should I just picked Shack on the Celtic. No, I'm
gonna pick Ted.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Williams, the splendid Splinter.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
And then with my snake pick coming around, I'm gonna
diversify my sports.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Bobby or wow, I am losing.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
What do you got?
Speaker 6 (17:53):
I'll take Pedro good pick, way better than.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Between.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I'll take Ray Bork good pick. And then the guy
went to Colorado won a Stanley Cup there. They had
a parade for him in Boston. Here here I'll go
yeazz as my fourth song pick, Thank you too? Who
was that? Who was that?
Speaker 4 (18:20):
For your fourth?
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Okay? Uh?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
From my fourth I'm gonna take Randy Moss terrible.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I can't believe I'm getting this pick in the fourth round.
Bill Russell, Oh.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Wow, that's a great pick forgot Bill Russell.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I wanted I wanted to mix up the sports, and.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I think you can make you the argument Tom Brady,
Ted Williams, Bobby or Bill Russell is the Mount Rushmore
of Boston sports.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Well, that's up to Chris, I believe be sure. I'm
sure Jim Craig's not on there. All right, Chris, give
us a third place, second place?
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Well, okay, you want, you want all the places, you
want all the places.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I mean, Taylor's running away with it.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
We didn't even get Kevin Garnett on this list anywhere
after that, after that, Mikey, because there's no rules. There's
no rules whatsoever about length of time, Babe Ruth and
putting Randy Mawson there. I think elevates at Stu Gotts
comes in third and you're winner by technical knockout.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Israel Good Tierras who's.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Not even here. Chris hates the United States. I mean
that's I mean, Jim Craig, how was that a bad pick?
He played at BU? He's from Massachusetts, He's the most
famous goalie in the history of hockey.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
I think you could have taken Bob Coosey, Gronk, Paul Pierce, Patruth, berger.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
On Garnett, any of these head of Jim Craig.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
We'll get to do me a favor here in just
a second hour. Thanks to Jason Hare for joining us
in that last segment. Mike yea, what'd you make of
Taylor's pitch there to have Miracle on Ice be a
Broadway play? I mean, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
It's not ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
It is a moneymaker that I am surprised that we
haven't done. I mean al Michael's singing do you believe
in miracle? Like that's your headliner.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Right there, right yes?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Like do you believe ben?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Wow? Oh wow?
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Look at him. He's a performer, he's a party starter.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
And I also want a spot in the in the play, Mikey,
I'm lynn Manuel Marinush.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I mean, he took eighty twenty from the guy he
didn't even hear it, snuck it in there.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I want to play a Russian. I want to play
a Russian.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Taylor, never start negotiations with fifty to fifty, all right,
let him bring you to fifty to fifty don't start
at fifty to fifty.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
You know, yeah, I got a little star truck because
he directed the last dance, and I just I've had
this idea that it would translate so well to broad
Way that I just wanted to try to get it
to life. So that's why I went in with fifty
to fifty.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
He was being nice, though, right, I mean, there's no
way he likes I don't know like he liked it,
and Mikey, hey, loves it. Can I hear you sing
that again?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Forget about how.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Michael believe me, recalls me, recalls on us. Let's get
to do me a favor. Give me the music. I
don't want to recording him you singing that for the
remaxer just on a loop.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
I'm gonna start writing this music. If being Mikey.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Shake ky jiggling, yes, but now I want Mikey to
actually voice it, not out Michael's get out of here.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Mikey's my star. I'm riding this cash count to the
finish line.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Are all right? What do you got here? I'll do
me a favorite, Tell do me a favor.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Enough with AP preseason polls, I am so over them.
They mean absolutely nothing for AP Preseason Poll comes out today.
Eighteen of the last nineteen polls have had at least
one preseason Top ten team finish the season on rank.
Exactly half of AP preseason Top twenty five teams the
past two years end of the season on rank.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
They mean absolutely nothing.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
You don't have to look any further than last year
they said Penn State and Clemson were to top five
teams in the AP Preseason Poll.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Both stunk.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You need like a I understand what you're saying. But
if we all know they're nonsense and mean nothing, who cares.
It's benign. It's an AP pole be starting point.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
That's all.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Nobody goes into it with them saying that it's nonsense
because last year everybody was like, man, here comes Kate
Clubnick and this Clemson team, And this is how you
could tell people don't watch college football, that only watch
the NFL. If you're trying to convince yourself today that
Drew Aller and Kate Clubnick are gonna be good NFL quarterbacks,
that's how I know. You didn't watch them play at
Penn State in Clemson.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Respect me, but if you do, you're a Jet fan.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, that's what you are right, but Aler was coached
by James Franklin.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
I mean that's the one I'm willing to go back
on a little because Aler has always had the tools
to put it all together. Now, if you're giving him
Mike McCarthy and he's sitting behind Aaron Rodgers and learning, okay,
I'm a little more willing to forgive Drew Aller for
being an absolute disaster in Happy Valley.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
All Right, I'm sorry because Dabo Sweeney is.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Just a plethora quarterback, which high end quarterbacks, because I
mean Trevor Lawrence, we're still asking if he's any good.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Yes, funny that you should mention that Mina Kaimes has
Trevor Lawrence as her sneaky MVP pick.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Really she's wrong.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
I mean it's really sneaky. It's like too sneaky.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I mean, no one knows more football than Mina. I'm serious,
But he's wrong on this one. That's where I draw
the line.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Do me a favor, Mina pick somebody else.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
I was gonna use that, all right, I'll go, all right,
what do you got?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
As Taylor did? One that happens every year. I will
also bring one that happens every year at this time.
Do me a favor. I don't care about your fantasy
team like I care about my fantasy team. I don't
care about my fantasy league. I don't care about yours.
This is draft season. Everybody's picking their guys. And I
got a friend who calls me. He's like, hey, hey, hey,
gets who I got in the third round?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Guess what? I don't care. Do me a favor. Keep
it to yourself.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Interesting.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
I'm with you there.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Really couldn't care less about your bets, couldn't care less
about your fantasy football team.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
So why don't we share your or your golf handicap
or your poker hands. I don't care about any of
them unless I am directly involved.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
This is all I have. Though, you take the hint
you don't care about me.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
I mean, yeah, the guy who walks in and like,
look at this parlay I hit for fifty dollars this weekend.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Okay, buddy, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Tell me about all.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
How many did you miss to get here?
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Yeah, give me a favor.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Look at this parlay I won. I'm still down two
thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
In favor, and shove that ticket where the sun doesn't shine, buddy.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You're thirty one years old.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Man, I use buddy alarmingly high rate. What happened, I
couldn't remember what the word rate was.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I mean I use buddy as well. That's because I
can't remember anyone's name, and so everyone is buddy to me.
I mean, you're up, pal, Do me a favor. Everyone
stop telling me that I can't get excited about preseason football.
We wait for football. We talk about waiting for football,
(25:28):
we talk about how much we miss football. I don't
care that the games don't matter. It's football, and it's
being played on a football field, and it's on my TV.
And this is the way I do preseason. I told
Chris Simms this last week. Okay, I have it on,
so I feel good that football is on. I peek
over to one of the TVs and Drew Aller standing there,
(25:48):
and he looks the part and he passes the sniff test.
And you know what, I say to myself, hmm maybe.
And I gotta tell you something.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I enjoy the hell out of doing that. I really do.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I enjoy looking at a television screen not knowing who
the guy is, not knowing that the Steelers drafted a
guy who was projected as a top five pick before
last year started. I look at him. I see him
at quarterback. I see him in the uniform, I see
him in the Steelers jersey, and I say to myself.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Stude to your credit, and Drew Aller leads the league
and looking the part.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
He does look the part.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Really, that's part of Drew Holler's downfall at past State
because everybody would look at him once he puts on
a jersey and he's like, my god, Wow, that guy
looks like he can sling it.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, Mikey, how do you feel about preseason? It's fun
doing that. I watch a quarterback Hayinesking, and I say, huh.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I have not watched one snap, and I won't watch
one snap.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Because because the problem is it is not at all football,
it is it is a padded practice, padded practice.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
When he watches the to lose, he wants them, watches
them lose for real,
