Post right at the end of the show, aching ease,
(01:36):
stiff back joints not cooperating. We know how those days are.
Right on some of those days, your body's just telling
you I ain't got it. Today, ain't happening, capping And
on those days, luckily there's a leave with just one pill.
A leave provides up to twelve hours of pain relief
so you can keep moving use as directed. All right,
let's get into some Cleveland Brown quarterback situation. It wouldn't
be a show without that, right because that has been
(01:58):
one of the biggest storylines this offseason in the training
camp and as we are in I on the preseason
heading towards week one, So one of the things I
want to start with is Shador Sanders and having some
conversations about a couple of things. And we talked about
this yesterday Dylan Gabriel or was it two days ago?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Might have been two days You might not have been
here for that.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
But when Dylan Gabriel uh said that there's entertainers, there's competitors.
Immediately social media made it be gang gang, you better
pick a side.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
He didn't mean it. He was taking a shot at Shador.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Which one were you on to go back a couple
of days to eat him because you weren't here.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'll tell you for me. Ah, I wanted it to
be about.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Schador so I can come on and talk smack about
Dylan and be like, man, how you gonna say this
about your teammate, letting them the pressure of the media
crack you look at you, that's supposed to be your teammate.
You threw him nder. But it wasn't about Shador. It
was about entertainers. When he was talking to us, you're
on this side. Now, you on this side entertainers and
folks who you know, this is what we do for
a living. He was about that, I'm a competitor. He
(03:00):
had been saying that before. If you go back and
look at some other his press conference, he had said
this before. So I wanted that smoke, I wanted the drama,
but it really wasn't there. So I was on that side.
You I think two things, and both things could be true. Okay,
this young man is in a real fight.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
That is true. To make the active roster with someone
who was drafted two rounds after him, that's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That pressure is real.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
He's in those meetings, in the practices every single day.
He hears what's going on. He stood on the sideline,
watch your do do what he did. He went out
performed well, and so now he's like, now I'm here
to compete no matter what. I'm not here to entertain.
(03:51):
I'm not an entertainer. I'm not here. So yeah, in context, yeah,
he's talking about the media and what they're trying to
make of the situation. We're not making anything of the situation.
The situation is a real life, current issue. We know
Joe Flacco is gonna be QB one. What we don't
(04:13):
know is who else will be dressed out opening day.
You can either be on the practice squad or you
can be the backup quarterback. They're fighting for that. It's
gonna come down to this last game tomorrow, I believe
it is, or Saturday, to see who it's going to
(04:36):
be on the opening day roster. So when Shadura comes
in with this whole you know, group of guys playing
his own music and all of that, he's entertaining us.
He's showing us, Oh, it's about to go down. I'm
(04:56):
about to put on a show. And all though Dylan
was talking about the media in terms of what you
guys say, and he's also talking about, you know, someone
coming in and putting.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
On the show.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
But now he may not earn that pot. I'm not
stirring about it. I'm just telling you what it is.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Look at you. All he had to say was I'm
not gonna let the media come in. He didn't say that.
He didn't say that he had said something that he
didn't say say that.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Well, watch this, because that's what when he was like,
I'm talking about you guys, Oh that's the media. So
he could have been like, look, I'm just here to work,
going on hard. I'm doing my thing. I'm not gonna
let the media make something out of nothing. You know
what you sound like, but you sound like Shador. Here's
what Shador had to say about that.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Honestly, I don't even think about nothing. I don't think
about anything. If it's not words or anything. You know,
at this point, can't do anything to me. You know,
I know you know that God put the ability into
power within me to not even think about nobody else's comments,
not care.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It is what it is.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I spoke with him. He said, nah, Bro, that wasn't
He said. That wasn't he told me on the plane.
He came up and he was like, nah, bro, that
wasn't at you. I see how they're trying to spend
I'm like, all right, I'm not trippering regardless of whatever
it was, nobody's words or anything affects me.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Should you believe him you did? I believe him.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
I mean, I feel like you're trying to start stuff now.
I feel like you're trying to start stuff. I mean,
he's doing his job he's supposed to do. I feel
like he did. I don't know, And that's not on
me to sit here and be like, oh he did,
he did it. That's not gonna change my life in
any way.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
All right, A couple of things. I want to say.
Was he in the urine or something was in the bathroom? Maybe?
What the hell was going on? What did I do?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I hope you that I did see the video and guys,
guys outside, let me use give me, give me a
couple of minutes. I don't know if he was in
the shower idea, here's some some tinkling in the background there,
All right?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
First off, I called bluff on one thing. What your doing?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Schadure does see and hear. He know what it is
all the things that people say, He know what it is.
My man just cussed out a reporter a week ago,
not customer out, but confronted him and said, hey man,
you ain't got nothing to say nice to me.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I don't never do nothing wrong to you. Why you
an't never have anything positive to say about me?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I like the way he confronted him face to face,
questioning about some of his or his writings and the
things he had to say. I don't have a problem
with it, but let's not act like you didn't see it.
Just like the dad robb g who is the reporter
big time reporter, forgot his name, baseball reporter is slipping
me Timm who Deon Sanders Prime poured the bucket of
water him back back in the day. Robb g He
(07:39):
ain't listen to nothing to say, Deon Sanders poured the
bucket of water on till what's his name? The MLB
reporter again, Edward, No, it wasn't that water is MLB's
back when he's a baseball player. Oh gosh, Tim, I
looked at it for me real quick. Point is them
Sanders be knowing what's going on. They listen, they see now,
they here now where. I do agree with him. I
don't think it overly phases him. I don't think he
(08:00):
goes into it, but he knows. I think they're one
of the I think that Tim mccarrk now was Tim
Tim McCarver. I know they. I think they take notes
who said, okay, put that down? What he's okay? Because
Prime does that all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Let me tell you something, baby, son, he he does that.
That's my son.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Let me tell you something, baby, I would be blessed
either way, baby, that's good.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
He does. That's good. God is good.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Either way, they talk about who said what, they know it,
They keep track of it. I do agree that they
have self believe that it won't matter or deture them,
but they absolutely keep track. So let me just want
to knock that out the part stop it. Sure, you
just told the reporter to get you know, stop writing
on the negative and say something positive about you. You
just said that, But I do like his approach of
It doesn't matter whether he meant that for me or not.
(08:48):
I gotta play ball in the way I play ball,
and the way he played ball plays ball ultimately is
going to determine all of this anyway.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
And so you know, when all the noise stops, it's
who's on the active roster opening week.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's what matters. That's what matters.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
It's one position for two players, and this last preseason
game is going to come down two And you gotta
remember one of the players the coaching staff wanted, the
other one not so much. And everything out of Cleveland
(09:32):
has been pro Shador Sanders. You don't think Dylan Gabriel
knows that and is affected by that, of course, So
sometimes you get to talking and then you throw something
out there and he'd be like, like I said, two
things can be true. But I think it was a
(09:52):
Freudian slip. Like it, whether they slipped or not. He
said it.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But I've been saying, this is a you got rob
Gi Alex. What is Ephraim's mantra? Everybody got choices? You
got a mantra. So all of a sudden they hit
you with something that blah blah blah blah. Ephim, you say,
everybody got choice you we know that you've been saying that.
So but it could be perceived a certain way if
if I asked you a certain question. But that's actually
(10:19):
something you go to. This is something that Dylan Gabriel
go to. He said this he's seeing another time he
has This is the other time. This is something. This
is something he says. He's talking about us. So I
wanted to smoke. I wanted the drama. You heard the
smoke is there period you said. I don't know if
(10:40):
he meant it or not. That part right there is
where it's gonna that gave Dylan Gabriel heard that because
it was a chance for Shador to go, man, you
know what you mean? Absolutely, I believe him. He looked
me in my eye. If the man told me that,
I believe him. He had a chance to do that.
He didn't believe him though. So what I'm saying is
that right there, lets me know and guess what and
(11:02):
you know what. You know why that's important because he
spends more time with Dylan Gabriel than we do.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
What he spends every day, So there could be micro
things happening that ties all this together that we have
no idea about.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
That.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
That's why you gotta listen to the person involved, right
like we're trying to decipher what he meant and how
it happened.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And now I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Listen to the dude who spends more time with him
than I do. But see, he's in every meeting. So
so what you're doing is every critique.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Now, what you're doing is you're taking the one dude,
not the other dude. No, no, no, no no, because
Dylan Gabriel is the dude in this case who said it.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
He said, no, that's not what I mean with that.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
But it doesn't matter because the tension is already there
because they're both in the same draft class, both compete
for one position.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
That's draft quarterbacks in the same draft. We'll do it.
Washington did it, and it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Calls well, they brought back one. Then they went and
traded for another one, and then they got another one
trying to get his career back in the track. They
don't know what they're doing to do, which leads to
the decision to put Shador Sander at QB three And
how does he feel about that?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
We'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
On the other side, it is the Odd Couple Ephram
Zen for Rob kelvin Washington on a TV theme. So
on Thursday, stay with you boys, it is the Cup.

Speaker 1 (14:16):

about it. Okay, yeah, quarterbacks, we know that for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
He no. He hanging on Lamar the day Lamar Jackson retires.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
He's the one, He's the neo of it is a

(14:54):
free back by free Wild has a protection with convenient
installation options like mobiles I installation, tyrek dot Com. The
way tirebaying should be all right, So now we know
there's some some shudure speaking on being QB three now
with the Browns, here's what he had to say.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Honestly, bro, I really don't look into that.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I don't care.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Whenever it's time for me to get out there and play,
I'm gonna play. Whenever it's time for the light to
come on, I'm gonna do my thing. I'm not concerned
about when it is. I'm not concerned about how many
reps I'm getting at this point is what it is,
because I know when the lights come on, when everything going,
when the pressure is on you know who I am.
I'm always be that way.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I love that approach. Listen, I love it. You and
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
We've talked a bit about it, just when you called
on with me and Rob or just a couple of times.
But I'm team Shaudure, give him the keys. Let's just roll,
let's just get this thing started. I understand Joe Flacco.
I get it. It's safe. He's a veteran, he knows
the room. He was once with the team a couple
of seasons ago. I totally get that. But when it
(15:59):
comes to the other quarterbacks, I would have preferred you
just say we're rolling with your door and then you know,
you give them the keys to the kingdom. But fine,
if he is the second quarterback, because to me, the
Browns need to do the opposite of whatever the Browns
think they're gonna do, because to have had forty quarterbacks
since like ninety nine to never really get it right.
(16:20):
You had it with Baker, then you let him go.
Now he's bawling out him in Tampa Bay. You know
you had Joe even came back, got to this postseason,
let him go. Gave all the money to Deshaun Watson
that didn't work out from a pr from him playing
and now injuries. So whatever you ad minute they go,
you know what we need to make Nope, do the opposite.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
That's gonna be a better decision than what we normally do.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
If they flip a coin and lands on head and
head was supposed to be this option, go with tails,
and I'm going with your door because he has a
bunch of starts in college football. The little bit that
we've seen, he's look solid and he obviously is one
of those people who is not gonna necessarily fold. Does
that mean he's not gonna have bad game, It's absolutely not.
He's gonna have bad games. He's rooking in the NFL.
And you know, the speed is crazy in the NFL.
(17:05):
I love that. My fan base would already be excited.
We already seen Rob g. We talked about the TV
ratings are crazy for him and it started the preseason
game Number two Jersey in the NFL. I'm just riding
the momentum. I'm gonna just be all in and I'm
gonna just ride this thing out and go knowing that, hey,
if it ain't working out for a while, I've got
the number. The third round pick and Dylan Gabriel sitting
(17:26):
right there. I'm not interested in Kenny Pickett. I'm not
really interested in Joe Flacco because I know what that
is and he's forty, and I know he's not my future.
So I just think Chador. It's gonna be growing pains. Absolutely,
He's gonna have bad mistakes. That's just part of it
for anybody. We often go to who you think is
the greatest of all time? In Peyton Manning, we know
his first year, do all the interceptions look bad?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Well, I wanted to clarify that yesterday. I think Tom
Brady is the greatest quarterback to play based on his success. Okay,
what I said for me is we feared We didn't
fear Tom Brady, we feared Peyton Manning. So and for
my like, if I was starting the team, I would
(18:11):
take Peyton Manning. But I believe Tom Brady is the
greatest quarterbacks to ever played. To do what he's been
able to do is virtually impossible, So I have to
give and not have the level of receivers. But if
I'm starting the team and those are my two top picks,
I'm taking Peyton Manny.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Part of that too, well, Peyton never had to do
it Barren like me, and he always had somebody. But
I think Peyton kind of has that thing to me
where he was always doordinator. Yes, and he was going
to do that. If you threw him on the six lions,
he was an offense he was going to do See.
You didn't even have to call a play. That's how
much he knew what was going on.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
He knew your whole defensive scheme and what you wanted
to He knew all of that, and he had that
information at the line of scrimmage. That's why the game
looks everybody got a dummy count. It used to be
like Blue Eddy, Blue Eddy said, hu, and you go,
nobody does that anymore, right, because you're gonna see something,
see some things right. Change this change that he ushered
(19:14):
that in like that. Now it becomes it becomes the standard.
It was so fun to watch him play man. Now,
just revolutionize that position. But that's where I am. When
it comes back to the Browns, I'm should and I
get you like you would say, well, I don't know
what Flaho's doing. Joe Flacco is doing in there, just
give it to Shaduur. First of all should gotta earn it,
(19:34):
you gotta take it. Secondly, what you don't want with
any rookie quarterback is to run into a gauntlet.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
You don't.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
You're trying to let them have early success as much
as you can as an organization, because what you don't
want him to do is run into a bus saw.
Because everything a rookie quarterback does, it's information, it's it's
going in to his processor. Right, if you start out horrible,
(20:06):
it's hard to get back through that, right, and especially
if you have another young quarterback that you drafted in it.
Now you're looking over your shoulder. So if you start
the season against the Bengals and you got to go
and win a real shootout, I mean, that's the pressure
(20:28):
you don't want to put on.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
A rookie quarterback.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Oh then, by the way, you go to Baltimore and
play against the best quarterback in the National Football League,
that's pressure you probably don't want to put on a
third or a fifth round quarterback. Then you have the Packers, right,
all of these games, and then the Lions. You want
that defensive line getting it. You want to pay right.
So now you have to really be strategic on when
(20:54):
you want to expose them to the level of NFL
they may or may not be ready for because a
lot of kids can't rebound from that, and then you
know it takes some time. If you can, you want
to manufacture a soft landing spot. And I know he's like, well,
it's the first round. None of these we're not talking
about first round draft picks. We're talking about a third
(21:16):
and a fifth round draft pick. Shaduel Sanders is a
fifth round draft no matter how you have him in
your mind as talent wise. If you think he has
the talent of a first rounder, that's one thing. But
he was a fifth round draft pick and so throwing
him out there under duress like that, that doesn't bowlo
(21:42):
for your organization or the player because now you have
your third round draft pick just waiting right after two
of those games. If you owe in two the first
week of the first two weeks of the season, what
do you think is going to what's happening in it? Well,
because once you get yanked out of there, it's hard
(22:04):
to go back. This is the position they put themselves in.
They did it, you traded, they did Kenny Pickett yep,
which usually when you do that it's gonna be yeah, right,
but usually when you do that, all right, this is
our guy you bring. So you bring in Kenny Pickett,
who's been there for a long time now, but meeting
before these other guys who got drafted, and then you
go get Joe Flacco. That's supposed to be it, Kenny
(22:26):
starting Joe's backup. Two Bandai ready roll. But then you
go and draft two guys who have looked good and
then you know they were going to develop on the
practice squad, right they were. That was their plan. Dylan Gabriel,
that was the plan when you got Flacco, and uh,
Kenny's gonna be the backup and then he'll develop on
(22:47):
And then they had to draft Shador. So now it's like,
all right, well, I mean, I don't know, Kenny's hurt.
H Dylan Gabriel was hurt. Dylan mustard up enough guts
Gusto and that second preseason game, but he was obviously hurt.
He wouldn't run and his hamstring. It's very difficult. Now
(23:08):
we have the oblique with Shadur Shaduur. So everyone's banged
up except for Joe Flacco, all right, and so that's
his starting the final preseason game. He'll start in two
weeks when regular season starts. But it puts you in
a position where these quarterbacks who were drafted in the
third and fifth round were supposed to develop on practice squad.
Now it looks like one of them will be on
(23:32):
the active roster and possibly be thrust into action before
they thought they would be ready for it.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
And yet they created this situation. We're gonna be in
for a wild ride with the Browns. But for us
it's exciting.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Oh, without a doubt, it is great either way. I
told you this is gonna be theater. Who thought we'd
be talking about the Browns, But now here we are
because mainly large part because of a fifth rounder. Because
if they don't draft Shad, I don't think we're talking
about Dylan Gabriel and Kenny Pickett, who's gona get I
don't think we care that much. But because of your door,
it's a conversation, all right, there's some conversation to be
had about a former college football coach who has to
(24:08):
smoke for his former rival. We'll tell you what we're
talking about right now, Breeze gonna get you set on
what is trending.

ten minutes or so. But I'm gonna go back to
college football a little bit. He from uh, we know
Michigan was fined. Essentially a big thing come out of
it was thirty million dollars some more, no show clause
(25:11):
for Jim Harball and.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
More.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But Sharon Moore but like Shamal, yeah, my bat he
acted in coaching now, Sharon Moore, And so now everybody's
kind of talking about that, and you got even Urban
Meyer talking about it a bit as what should have
happened and should there have been more, how they would
have handled it, and he had something to say about
Jim Tressel and kind of how his experience went, and
he was saying how he got suspended. The NFL goes
(25:36):
to the Coats, that coach said we're gonna suspend you
for six games. Roger Goodell comes out and say, yeah,
we were gonna do it if they didn't do it.
So Urban Meyers kind of there's some dry snitching a
little bit there. He didn't say straight up, I thought
it was light. They should have did this to Jim
harriball Michigan, but he kind of did. If my boy
got the smoke, my boy got in trouble, why ain't
(25:57):
he getting in trouble? And you know, it's no love
law because n being at Ohio State and then obviously
Jim Harbow at Michigan, as you already know that is.
I think it's, if not the biggest rivalry in all
the sports right now.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
It's pretty big. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I think we had a conversation the other day and
I said, because we were talking about the Padres and
the Dodgers, I'm like, I think, still that's just like
a new thing though.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Like, yes, that's although they have always competed, this is
now like that playoff series last year that that put
it on the map. Seriously, So now you know this
weekend's games, everybody's like it's about to go down.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
You got to remember to hit batters.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
They're throwing balls at managers everything. So that's gonna be fun.
And I think baseball needs stuff like that. Oh listen,
baseball won last year. We saw a big time. You
got all these blue bloods in the plus seasons, me
locked in balling, great teams out the blue, the Tigers
doing their things, and then you got Yankees, Dodger, I mean,
Padres and Dodgers going out.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
It was just it was great. You you had the
match doing her thing. It was a lot going on
baseball one. But getting back to this, Irvin Meyer, listen,
listen number one. I want to get your take on
just because I didn't get a chance to talk to
you about do you college football, how they handle this
college football essentially said inn the NFL, but meant largely
n Cuba. They to me said we had gone too
(27:18):
hard at other things previously Number one give you an example,
and ironically enough, at the same school. I think they
realized they looked bad with how they handled the Fab five.
They went too far and took off banners in this game,
and that didn't matter, and I think they ended up
looking they looked bad. People were mad at them, not
(27:38):
the Fab Five. Also, we're in a different day and
age now, so much is going nil. This is happening.
Just the floodgates kind of opened for a lot of
things that were formerly known as taboo. And I think
people know they have a black eye in the ncublea
so and I don't think I think Michigan, being as
big as it is and what it means for college football,
I think they just wanted to move on. The best
(28:00):
way to do it this was Final School thirty million dollars,
which that's nothing for them them going to another you know,
last season, well now two seasons ago technically, but them.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Going to a college football game.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
They made that thirty million dollars just off merchandise instantly,
let alone go into the National Championship game instantly, tickets
gonna go up a few dollars, all the shirts and
souvenirs and endowments, they made that money back in no time.
So to me, the NCUBLEA, if you weren't gonna do
anything real, what was the point to me? Because I
(28:30):
said it was absolutely worth it for Michigan. Michigan had
wanted to elevate from being a really really, really really
good club and team to being up there with what
Georgia has been, what Alabama has been, what Clemson has
been the last ten, ten fifteen years Ohio State had been.
Michigan wanted to get back to that. So if you're
telling me, okay, you get eight game a no show
(28:54):
or eight year no show clause whatever that even means,
you can't work back in the n CUBA for eight years,
whatever it is, and we're only thirty million dollars, absolutely
worth it. National title. We've been beating up on Ohio
State for the last handful of years. Finally, what it
does for the school, what I'm from Antipa, Michigan, what
it does.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
For the city, absolutely worth it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
So to me, if they weren't gonna really do anything
what was the point and ultimately ended up being worth it. Now,
I do believe it was an advantage in that if
I can see what you're doing, I can quickly discern
a call, it's run, it's a pass, it's going this way,
it's going That absolutely helps.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
But I also feel like it's like spike y.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, And I also feel like Ohio State might be
because we know they weren't the only ones doing this Michigan,
they just got caught. And also allegedly there are some
reports that, you know, maybe Ohio State has something to
do with this.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So I think it's just a bunch of beef. I
think it's a bunch of ie.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Coach there, you coach there, and I'm sticking up for
my guy in trestle, and if he got in trouble,
why didn't you.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
I think it's a lot of that going on. Yeah,
but Harpball has moved on big time. He not going
back to it.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
And when the Chargers ain't going, you know, head coach,
real quick, we got suspend you five.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Games they've done.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
They like, well, I don't care what you did in college,
that has nothing to do with us, and so we're
not gonna penalize us for that, right like that, He's
moved on whatever penalties they've levied or whatever that is.
He's just like, man, hey, you guys, go with God,
good luck this year. Uh, and so on and so forth.
But as far as the punishment of thirty million dollars,
(30:30):
I'm okay with it. I don't think it was right
to penalize the kids. No bowls, no this, no that,
like vacate the national champions Yeah, like why Look, man,
those kids put everything they had on the line. They
weren't out there recording signs and all of that. They
were playing. And so I think, yeah, if you're going to, uh,
(30:55):
if you're going to hand out a punishment, then it
should be number one in your pocket book. Thirty million
dollars may not seem like a lot to you, but
it's a lot for that program. And then not just
the football and basketball, the other sports, right, women's back
Batmanton and and right you know, kickball or whatever whatever
(31:19):
other non revenue generation sport hockey will fill the impact
of that thirty million.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Can they make it up? Of course, it's Michigan. It's
been made up.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
And so it's one of those things where They're like, look,
don't do it.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
It's gonna cost you. We're gonna move on, right, that's it.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
I mean, what else can you do at this at
this point in the wild wild west of NCAA Sports
with Nils and all in a transfer portal, bro, just
let's get it over with and let's move on.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Urban jumping out there.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's the funniest part for me because Urban he's well
two versus and that's been doing this too long. He's
been from just being a head coach of big university.
I stopped taking him serious after I saw him freaking
on the dance floor. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
After that, it really started when he brought Tim Tebow
off a shelf somewhere and tried to give him a
rosters by what that was.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
He lost me there.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
So whatever he's doing now, I'm like, yeah, he's jumping
out the window for his boy in, Jim Tressel. And
then it ain't like I would jump out the window
for you. No, I'm not mad at that, but my
thing is you have to just to me, just own it.
Don't act like, oh I didn't say that. I mean
I didn't really do you insinuated you?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
We if what you're saying is, well, look what he
got in that was less than that, that was just
only because of this that had nothing to do with gameplay.
And you got guys to real prior in them and
they're getting tattoos, then what does that have to do
with the actual gameplay? This was cheating and helping the
actual on the field stuff. Well, then you're insinuating it.
So don't think. Come back and be shocked and flabbergasted
when people say you said this about Jim Harbaugh. All right,
(32:51):

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Your body's just like noping on those days. Luckily there's

Now it's shopped talking.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
That's right, it's shop talk.
Speaker 8 (34:46):
Here on the eye couple say, when we talk about
someth happen outside of the world of sports, this week's
topic what comes to us from the technically from the
world of sports, but also from the world of music.
And that's because making the Stallion, not the Stallion, making
thee Stallion cook the dish for her new boyfriend Klay
Thompson that has social media and the choke hold because
depending on where you're from, it's either a life of luxury,
(35:10):
very common something we all love, or it's something that
like that's gotta be some of the most you know,
low income, you know, conglomerate of food that we've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Yeah, she made him, According to the Courage.
Speaker 8 (35:23):
To the signature dish, it's spaghetti with catfish and a
side of King's Hawaiian roles.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
It don't get no blacker. Let me just jump out
on the limb and say it don't get no blacker.
No real listen, I can say that if we say
that that is super super duper black. First off, catfish,
we love some catfish. By we I'm raising my hand.
We were in New Orleans together. I had catfish at
least three times where we were down there in New
Orleans Super Bowl. You just can't have everybody catfish though,
(35:51):
It's true because not everybody does it right. However, I'm
gonna take that chance.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
The question a lot of times black assholds is it's
spaghetti and maybe salad or spaghetti and bread.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Is that a mealing of itself?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Or do you need the spaghetti and catfish or spaghettian
and some fried wings. A lot of people go that
route because they feel like spaghetti can't just be a
melling of itself. So I grew up just a big
old podic spaghetti, maybe some garlic bread, and that was it.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
That was it. You were you more that?
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Or yeah, a lot of people, especially in the South,
you're gonna get some catfish, You're gonna get some fry wings.
Or maybe people were like a bunch of people in
the house because maybe that one pot ain't gonna do
it for everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Did you see the the video? I did see the video.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
What you did it look like it was good or
it was after the way.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Did it look good the spaghetti? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
I did wonder where the noodles were because it looked
like a sloppy Joe Bruh.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
I was like, what type of you said that?
Speaker 4 (36:49):
What I wanted to know was what type of spaghetti?
It was unique. It was more chili. It was than
actual spaghetti sauce. Like, I'm like, oh, it looks like.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
A bunch of grease. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
It was like a coney dog in Detroit where you
get the chili right and they put it on the dog.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
You dip the sauce out of the grease. I ain't
gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
And Clay, but Clay a Clay mesmeris right now you
talk about Choco.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
She got Clay fed him a man a sandwich and.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
He would have been that boy narration. Oh man, his business.
I bet it is. It's his babe's greatest meal. I
bet it.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Oh my gosh, I can't wait to get into this.
That boy Clay head over heels right now.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Ain't nothing wrong with ain't nothing wrong with love. We
all need love.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
This might be better than his fourth title, getting meg
It might he might up there. He might have only
needed three titles, and meg It's up there. If he
gets one more title and mag I might he might
be top ten.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
