Speaker 1 (00:40):
I hear it. Okay, we're moving on.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I Twenty five Whistles with Bobby Bones presented by DraftKings
sports book and official sports betting partner of college football.
Download the DraftKings app used to code Bobby Sports to
get in on the action. We have senior football rider
and analysts for the ringer, Kevin Clark. He's been covering
the NFL since he was in college University of Miami.
We talk about the Jets, are they contenders, Joe Burrow's health,
Caleb Williams and the hype, and is Miami back?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Will they ever be back?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
And then later on South Carolina running back to carry
on Joiner, who we got to spend some time with.
He's played every position basically at South Carolina. He started
to get offers when he was like thirteen years old.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
That's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
At one point I made him really uncomfortable. Very I
think we both did. Oh you yeah, two different points.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah, oh you did, yeah, because I asked him the
personal question about what his cup.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh yeah, we both did.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Weaner questions, but he brought it up. It was about
a pile or like what happens at the bottom of
a pile?

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, yeah, Like I asked him why he wears a
if you were returned to mine, Yes, and then you
said you would squeeze and twists.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I said, if I was at the bottom of a
pile and everybody's you can hear it?

Speaker 5 (01:45):
Yes, very dong heavy Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Also my natename of college.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
But to carry on Joiner on later on. So pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
But let's get going now with the tittle tattle and
let's welcome kick off Kevin back for another season.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Welcome Kevin glad to be back.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Boys.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
All right, let's go all right.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Lionel MESSI was with MESSI was here playing in Nashville
last weekend and even.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Say that right, Lionel I l now, I know. I mean,
I would say I'm not right, but I'd say Lionel.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Messi.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
They say Lionel, Lionel. He said Lionel. Yeah, I didn't
know if how wrong I was saying it, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
I'd to throw a little twenty.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
He just say MESSI.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
That's why I was like, you know what, I'll just
say Messi. He was here playing last weekend and the
tickets got up to like thousands of dollars. So I
was wondering, if there's one athlete you would pay way
too much money to watch, who would it be?

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Dead or alive?

Speaker 3 (02:41):
I think now where I am, I would like to
go see Jordan again in his prime. That'd be cool,
which is cool because now we know how great Jordan
is was what people think of him now still considered
the greatest of all time for the most part, probably
sixty forty Jordan. So Jordan or Babe Ruth, because Babe
Ruth is like the quintessential larger than live sports figure,

(03:04):
the first one. I would think. Babe Ruth was the
first real sports superstar that people not in sports New
Now New Rockney. I don't know the whole timeline of
some of those guys.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
I don't know New Rockney.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
But it's like I still would go Babe Ruth and
Michael Jordan.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
What about you.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
I would definitely go Mike Tyson, like young Mike Tyson
when he was knocking people out quickly.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
You'd be so mad, though, you spend all that money,
then you watch a fight for thirty two Yeah, in
a time machine for thirty two seconds.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Dude, I'm mad now when I pay for a UFC
fight and it's over in ten seconds.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
But I think those days were cool because all the
celebs were there, you know, like that was my coolest
the favorite thing about watching those boxing matches, Like Bruce
Willis was always there, and a bunch of celebrities always
in the in the crowd. I'm like, that'd be a
special night to be out there. That's what it's like
now too. Yeah, but I feel like they were bigger
stars then. I think the stars generally were bigger.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah. Now it's like I don't know who that dude is.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
There are so many any people that are famous now
that famous water down generally. Yeah, you got to remember
people call me famous. That's true. So the fame is
extremely watered down these days. But yeah, it was hard
to be famous back then. But when you were, you
really were because there were only a few outlets to
be famous through. Now you can talk to somebody who's
like an expert in broccoli. He's got seventy three thousand followers.

(04:22):
That's the broccoli Queen, and I've never heard of her,
but she's famous to some people. Yeah, Mike Tyxon would
have been awesome. He was a beast watching some of
those when he's like eighteen nineteen years old.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh dude, just murdering people. Who would you take.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
My first thing that comes in the head is Tom Brady,
but I've seen him before. I would probably go like
Steph Curry. I've never seen Steph Curry like Prime stuph
four to five years ago, draining threes from half court.
I think would be awesome to see.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, that'd be cool, all right.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Next next is Philly. James Harden is going at it
with the Sixers right now. There's a lot of drama
going on. What's your favorite past drama between a player
and the team.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Probably too, and the Eagles doing sit ups out in
front of the house in the yard while the media
is there. That's funny. The fact that he would do that,
that's funny. Did you ever hear too when he said
he didn't mean to go to Chattanooga. No, if he
went to college college, he thought he was going to
ut Oh where did we just? We just heard about this.

(05:16):
I saw it on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah I did too.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Maybe he sent it to me. I don't know, but
that was interesting. He thought it was He thought it
was Tennessee Knoxville. Yeah, really, you run a Chattanooga Chattanooga.
He was like, I would have never went there, which
is a cool town.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Though.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Chattanooga is a cool town. Yeah cool, Yeah, but not
if you're gonna go play football. Yeah that's very different.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
So I go too in the Eagles.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
But Harden just has drama following him wherever he goes.
Harden's had drama with the Rockets. Harden had drama with
the Nets. I guess the only team he really did
have drama with was Oklahoma City when he was six man,
because he was six Man of the Year before he left.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
But Harden's just dramatic.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yes, I get it, he can play ball, but do
you really want that headache on your team and pay
him all that money to be a headache. So and
if it were just one time, you would go maybe
we don't know what's going on, but pretty much every
team he's been with the same situation. The comment denominator
is James Harden.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
Did you see him post on his story of the
fat man suit.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
No, he posted it on his own story, so you
know what he's saying that, Yes, he's gonna get he's
gonna get.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Fat, he's gonna show he's gonna do it on purpose.
Does he do that on purpose?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
And it's amazing he can. He can like lose it,
lose it all in like two games. He should be
an actor. Yeah, he's acting like a real dude.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
So I think he kind of is Eddie anything come
to mind, drama, but a player and a team.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
One that was cool that to find the backstory on
was Scottie Pippen, him holding out where he was like
I could play, but I didn't.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
And you know, when I saw deeper into it, I
felt bad for Scotty Vimmer me too, who didn't feel
bad for him. Well, when it was happening, it was
just Scottie Pippen's a loser exactly, but when you actually
learned like he was getting paid nothing.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
He was such a big part of that team.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
But I remember being a kid and being angry at
the ball players when they would strike because I wanted
to watch the games. I'd be like, they're so greedy,
they're making millions of dollars. I hate them. I hey
come back, But really the players had to, or the
owners would have made more and more and more money,
not even paying their people. Like you, Sometimes you just
got to do difficult things. I just went through an
extremely difficult contract negotiation, really hard for eight months. Probably

(07:19):
that was at times contentious even and I think we're
probably getting on track to being good again. But if
people didn't know what was going on, Like let's say
this show, the Bobby Bone Show, twenty five whistles whatever,
Let's say that makes five dollars a year, and I'm
asking for like a dollar fifty first salary.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
You're like, well, that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
If you're able to make five dollars and there are
all the other expenses, you should get paid a dollar fifty.
But if you're like, man, dollar fifty, that's why is
he even complaining? He was making a dollar. It's one
of those it's just in relation. And the ball players
weren't getting paid. Yeah, we don't know this skit.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Shit, Well we did. We found out, now we do.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
That's like my son now, he's fifteen, and he was
complaining about the movie the Hollywood strike.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
It's just like, how are we gonna watch movies all year?

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Like it's so dumb, Like they're not thinking about us
who want to watch the movies. You're not thinking about
them who needs to get paid and you're.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Not thinking about them who's will be able to make
more movies right and actually be able to have a
life and insurance?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
And yeah, yeah, same way. I was, same way baseball players.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
All right, what next?

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Did you see?

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Bryce Young?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Over the weekend?

Speaker 5 (08:24):
He got trolled by a staffer for the media. He
was going up to the podium to set the mic
stand and how high it should be and he's like,
I'm five to nine, how high should it be? So
I was wondering, well, what's the most memorable trolling moment
or comment you've ever gotten?

Speaker 1 (08:36):
I don't know that it was trolling, but going into
the Radio Hall of Fame, they introduced me at the
very beginning as Bobby.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Jones into the Hall of Fame. Hall of Fame, right,
it's me and four eighty year olds. It's a big deal,
and the people have flown in all over the country
and the youngest person ever be inducted into the Hall
of Fame. And they're like, tonight you know, Harvey manam
n na Bobby Jones.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
I'm like, oh my god, Now did he just misread it?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yes, that was just when you say I get trolled
all the time, but I mean for me, that probably
was just the one where I was like, I don't
know if they did it on purpose or not, but
that one hurt the most. I can't prove he wasn't
trolling me, you get, but I can't prove. And Bryce Young,
I've watched you know, they do these complete packages where

(09:23):
you can watch every snap, every drop back. I don't
watch the handoffs, I'll watch every dropback. And Bryce Young
has just been getting rocked because his offensive line sucks.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Hold back to it? What do you mean to package?

Speaker 3 (09:33):
So they'll they'll they'll put a package of clips up
and it's like, this is every drop back from Bryce
Young for this entire game. That's what you're just watching
nineteen dropbacks.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Wow, I didn't know they had that. That's cool. So
it's it's altogether.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
I see on Twitter all the time, and so I've
watched Bryce youngs twice and poor guy.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
M hmm.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Now is he falling just because it's preseason? And it's
probably falling because he's small and is gonna get wrecked?
I thought that too, But then I'm thinking, like it's preseason,
you feel like you're gonna get sacked?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Just fall? I mean, what is it? What I would
do that anyway?

Speaker 3 (10:04):
I think you should do that anyway if you're about
to get sacked and you're not really Ben Roethlisberger like
Peyton Manning did that later in his career because he
just didn't want to get hit anymore. Yeah, and Bryce
young small. My point with is he has no time
to do anything, but he has such poise even as
he's getting wrecked. I have not seen a rookie quarterback
with such poise. Speaking of poise, though, I did see

(10:26):
stetson Ben at the third, the third, fourth, we don't know,
one and two?

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Fifth?

Speaker 5 (10:31):
Is he what is.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
The numeral? I don't care.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Whenever he is, you don't have to respect that. I
don't call anybody by their numeral.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
Did the announcers say it when you're watching the game?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Stets and Ben at the fourth?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Probably not?

Speaker 3 (10:45):
The fourth is three for nine. I figure he's got
the Roman numeral. We need to respect.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I had trouble calling Chado jos Cinco O Josinco and
it was even his name name me too.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Well, how about Robert Chosen? Now Anderson Robbie Anderson, He's
Robbie Chose? Was watching Neil like Robbie Chosen?

Speaker 3 (11:02):
I by that like the chosen one. Probably interesting Metaworld piece.
Also to he's always up run our test. But Bry,
I think Bryce is going to be really good if
he gets any any sort of help. That team is
just they're going to struggle this year. We were with them.
The episodes up now of are too much access. With

(11:23):
the Carolina Panthers, Bryce still felt like I was talking to.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
A veteran in the league. Funny, intelligent, go.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Ahead on his shoulders, just just a dude. Coach Wright
loved him, obviously. I think they know they're in a
building season s over in Carolina. But if I were
a Carolina Panthers fan. I would love from what I'm
seeing from Bryce right now, because again, just watch them,
he's just so poised and he's been getting wrecked. I
get hit once out of here, You're on the ground immediately, Yeah, immediately?

Speaker 1 (11:53):
All right?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
What else?

Speaker 5 (11:54):
Last one here? Trevor Lawrence recently said that he was
on an all time great team in twenty eighteen when
they won the College Football Championship. So in your mind,
who is the best college team you've ever seen?

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Two things come to mind.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
One is probably a little bit of recency bias, but
LSU and four years ago with Joe Burrow, because it
was Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson at the
same time.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
I mean thinking about you have both those receivers.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
If your fantasy team has both those receivers, you're like
the greatest Fantasy league team of all time. But you
have both on a college team like that, It's pretty amazing.
I also think of USC back in two thousand and
four before Texas beat him the year before they get you.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, who Leonard? Who Leonard? Who?

Speaker 4 (12:35):
Matt Leonard? Am I saying it wrong? Matt Leonard? Lioner Lionard.
There's a t in there. You're saying D.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
You're saying a D.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Matt Lionert, you're saying Matt Leonard. Yeah, that's how I've
always pronounced.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Is that a right?

Speaker 3 (12:50):
No, Matt Lionart. Okay, Reggie Bush. There you go, Reggie Bush,
keep going.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Who else on that team? I don't know who's the
other running back?

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Thunder and Lightning Freggie Bush and played for the Titans.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
To USC played for the Titans, big.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Boy, remember thunder and Lightning. Bush was fast, he was strong.
He came here at Lindall White. No, oh really, I
don't remember played here and then. But that Texas team
is really good to with Vince Young, Jamal Charles Nasty.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
But I probably go l.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
S U that USC team and that Texas team, anybody
that was before my time. But the Miami team, so
they had all the first round picks. That was with
Jimmy Johnson, Ed Reed, No, no, no, no, I can't
remember his name.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I'll come back to it.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes, ed Reid, Andre Johnson, Clinton, Portis, Sean Taylor. There
were just so many. It was like boats and then
like Willis mcgaye shows up and is right third string.
It was Yeah, it's crazy. The coach who went to
North Carolina for a while. He had like a bowl cut.
It doesn't matter if you wouldn't have said, we'll just
cut this.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
Larry Koker thinking.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
I was thinking, Davis, you look, it's a lot of football,
you know what, We're gonna leave it in there. I
didn't even look Bunch Davis up. I was thinking of
Bunch Davis though, and we're not kind it out. It's
a lot of football to remember. It's a lot of
football to remember. That's right, Okay. A reminder of the
twenty five Whistles was presented by Draft Kings sports book
and official sports betting partner of college football. Download the
DraftKings app and use to code Bobby sports to get

(14:20):
in on the action coming up on Thursday or Friday,
because we're doing shows on Tuesdays and Fridays, right, is
that what it is? So on Friday we'll we'll do
the twenty five whistles parlay. And here's the thing I
want to say. I'm thinking about just keeping track of
every single bet I do, period and let and just
seeing a running total on it.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Okay, the risk yet, the risk is I just look
like an idiot.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
But nobody thinks I'm not an idiot, right, You're just
a normal dude making it. Yes, right, And I guess
I went on a streak last year on these parlays,
like twelve in rows and.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
So I'm thinking about been track of every college bet,
maybe like just college football bets, only.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Even your live bets that you do when you're anything
I do, wow, because you get pretty desperate in those
when you're chasing later in the.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Night, you're like a chase I try to gain. It's
Colorado and Utah. I gotta make mom.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
How many West Coast games are on? Uh, Navy A,
Notre Dame play this week? You know there aren't really
big games that are national games, but it's the first
week of games exciting. Uh San Jose State at USC,
Come on, Hawaii, Vanderbilt, let's go start playing quickly.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Dude, you can give me the Hilltoppers. And I'm watching that.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
He's made fun of me. He projected, that was projecting everybody.
I mean, be like, when you chase it, you're trying
to get a game. That's you talking about the first
week of football where you're like, I don't care who's playing.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Who is that too?

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Lane?

what else is says that this is an awesome deal.
Three awesome. That's how you know this is a fun interview,
and so let's go to Kevin Clark. Kevin worked for
The Wall Street Journal before going to The Ringer in
twenty sixteen. He has a show called Slow News Day
that I want you to check out where he interviews
some of the biggest names in football, including Josh Allen,
Caleb Williams, and Moore.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Great video show.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Follow Kevin on Twitter and Instagram at by Kevin Clark.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
This is a good one. I enjoyed it. Here he
is Kevin Clark Kevin, what's up man?

Speaker 6 (16:44):
What's going on? Bobby?

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Hey, the picture of your face on the little headshot
here is deceiving. I was ready for you to come
on and I don't know, you look angry or smart
or something.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
Oh my gosh, that's the that's our twenty sixteen headshot.
I wish it was eradicated from the Internet. I want
to pay one of those companies that like specializes in
getting bad news off of Google. But just for that headshot.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
We have a company that we pay my wife and
I that takes like all of our personal information. So
it's the like monthly they go all this stuff has
been written about you. Here's where they say you live,
and they're never right. But they can wipe pretty much
anything off for the right price. And I think no
money is too much to take that picture down.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
Good to talk to you today, freelance.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah, good to talk to you.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
We have very close, you know, similar friends, and you know,
it's really good to kind of talk to you in
person here. So let's start with the Jets and are
they going to be any good?

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yes or no?

Speaker 6 (17:40):
It'll be better than they were last year. I think
that generally they had to go get a quarterback. I
saw stat a couple of days ago that blew my mind,
which is that since Pro Football Focus started charting at
Mark Sanchez in twenty ten was the best quarterback the
Jets have had. Okay, take that. That's that's one thing.
The second thing is that year that Mark Sanchez was
the best quarterback on record for the Jets, he was

(18:02):
the eighteenth best quarterback in the NFL. That's it. So
that's all you need to know about the last twenty
years of Jets fandom is that they've rooted for people
who were the eighteenth or worse at the quarterback condition
every single year. So they had to go out and
get a swing. They had to go get Aaron Rodgers.
He was the best quarterback available. They couldn't have gone
with Zach Wilson or just tried to sound like a
Jameis Winston type of stop gap. So they'll be better

(18:24):
than they were. I see, like ten wins, eleven wins.
This is not a super team by any means.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
I guess I'm gonna go back to a comic. Pennington
was never better than Mark Sanchez.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
That was before kind of the last twenty years when
he came in.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
On that old on that old god dang older of
that sucks. Dude. I just talked into how old I am? Okay, okay, The.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
Ff eras like two thousand and five and beyond which
Pennington was still on the team. It was just I
think he cycled out and he was on the Dolphins
by eight, I want to say with Parcels.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
So with Aaron Rodgers coming in and you know, they
took some of that money that he gave back, which
wasn't charity, he needed more playmakers around him, and they
just signed a running back, a really good one. He's
probably still in the backside of his prime even but again,
their offensive line really doesn't seem to be what Aaron
Rodgers is used to.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Is that going to be what holds the offense back
more than anything?

Speaker 6 (19:20):
Well, yes, and whether or not. I mean Aaron Rodgers
is old like you and I are old. Like when
we screw up our calf, it takes five days to recover.
And I don't think that's a just because you a
professional athlete and you train a little bit better. You know,
age is undefeated by the time is undefeated. As Charles
Barkley said, they only two things that undefeated their father
time in the blackjack table, and I think that you

(19:41):
get into a situation where everything hurts a little bit,
more hits, and if we're talking about the offensive line,
if he gets driven into the ground, that could be
more serious. But yeah, if you're looking for a positional unit,
it is the offensive line. But then you just wonder
what the expiration date on a veteran quarterback is. I
think a couple of good years left in him. He
wants to play multiple years, Bobby. I mean, the thing

(20:04):
that is probably most interesting to me is we've gotten
so spoiled with this idea the quarterbacks can play until
they're forty one, forty two, forty three, because we saw
Tom Brady do it. Drew Brees had an unbelievable longevity career.
But at some point, some of these guys are going
to age out before age forty three. And you wonder
if that's if that's gonna be Rogers, You wonder if
it's it's some of these other guys who are getting

(20:25):
up there in the years, Like, these guys have taken
a lot of hits relative to what basically the old
old style football was. Drew Brees didn't get hit a
ton because of the way he passes. Aaron Rodgers gets
hit a ton because of the way he runs in
the backfield and extends plays and stuff like that. He's
broken his collar bone before, so I'm intrigued to see
how Rogers ages. He was not particularly great last year,

(20:47):
and I think that some of that was I think
it's drop the wide receivers. The drop number went from
thirteen to forty last year. He didn't have Devanta Adams'
safety valve. So there's a lot of kind of building
excuses that Rogers last year, But I didn't see that
kind of MVP form, So I think it's a combination
of offensive line. Whether or not Rogers ages well in

(21:08):
the next year and a half, I think those are
the things to watch as far as what could hold
the Jets back, because otherwise, you know, like the defense
with the Jets, like it reminds me a little bit
of Brady with the Bucks, where it's a fast front seven,
it's young guys everywhere, one of the best cornerbacks in football,
and Salus Gardner. No real questions there except to say
that the AFC is stacked and a bunch of teams
have talented rosters like that.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
It's interesting the point you bring up about these quarterbacks
giving us an unfair expectation of other quarterbacks. With Brady
playing in his forties, Rogers playing into forties two years
removed from an MVP too, So you know, even this
older version of Aaron Rodgers has been really good. And
I think about when Adrian Peterson came back from is
what ACL injury so quickly, then every running back started
to be compared to unfairly to Adrian Peterson's crazy fast recovery.

(21:54):
And if you didn't recover or you didn't play to
forty one, forty two years old, people would hold that
against them.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
Yeah, it's funny because I just saw a study this
morning that like, I guess European doctors are like, wait,
NFL teams are doing what without acls and what with
Achilles injuries, and they rush them back so much at
the NFL, and it becomes unfair and if a guy
is struggling now, it just becomes And I'll give you
a great example you want talk about the Packers. David
Baktiori is a guy who had a pretty serious lower

(22:19):
body injury and from the time he was quote unquote
medically clear to everybody's saying, well, where's Baktari.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (22:25):
Different people heal at different points of time. And like
the idea that these guys need to get rushed back
on the field immediately, and if you don't, you should
be Michael Thomas in New Orleans another example. These guys
get killed for not coming back, and I just think
that's maybe an old school mentality of like, as soon
as you're ready to go, you play hurt. You're never

(22:46):
The old line is you're never one hundred percent in
the NFL, blah blah blah. Like some of these guys
are trying to have long jevity in their career, and
the idea you need to rush back from a serious
injury where that's achilles acl broken leg or whatever. It's
very strange and it kind of goes against a lot
of the science innovations of the last decade. It's kind
of the last old school thing we do in the
NFL lobby.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
I think Anthony Rizzo from the Yankees had the concussion, yeah,
and he then played for I don't know, fifty games, yesty, However,
fifty games or so, that's the numbers thing exactly right.
Then he's like, well, my batting average only been one
hundred and I think I'm gonna go ahead and take
a break. And you're like, wow, you Whomever that was
that pushed probably himself.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
He's his own guy, obviously, but you're right.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
It's a culture thing, and it probably set him back
way farther than had he just went and addressed it originally.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
One hundred percent. It is a culture thing because I've
heard I remember, I've been covering this league since I
was in college, and you've heard stories of guys got
above me. And his coach says, hey, listen, we're going
to go in a different direction if you're not out
there today, and then you have to go and rush it.
And you know, Rizzo is a different case because he's
got a lot of money coming to him, that's guaranteed.
But it's a culture thing. You're in New York City.

(23:54):
I live right about twenty five minutes north of Yankee Stadium,
and everybody here talks about Aaron Judge performance, in Anthony
Rizzo's performance and Labor Torres' performance every single morning, and
you don't want to remove yourself from that. There's a
ton of pressure that goes along with that, and a
ton of pressure in the community. So Anthony Rizota Rangers
game last summer, you know, people will talk to him

(24:14):
and say, hey, good or bad. You know, here's what
you're doing. And so you understand how that all builds
on itself. And the other thing is I've learned over
the past few years that the number one bond or
the number one motivating force for guys in sports is
their teammates. And there's been a lot of studies on
this that basically they stopped listening to the coach after

(24:35):
a while, they stopped listening to the fans after a while.
GM they never cared about They care about the guy
in the locker next to them or the guy in
the position next to them, And so there's pressure from
all sides. The only thing there's not ever pressure on
is sitting out. And that's that I think is is
that no one ever says you should sit out. That's
why I was actually impressed the other day when Jamar
Chase said that Joe Burrow should sit a couple of

(24:55):
games to start the season just to make sure he's healthy.
Nobody ever says that. So the fact that some players
are becoming a little more smart. On that is actually
kind of a watershed moment.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Go to Joe Burrow.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
We saw the clip and then every doctor that's not
even really a doctor starts diagnosing him within fifteen seconds.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
Twitter doctors.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
So where is he now? And they obviously have given
us more information? But what do you know as of today?

Speaker 6 (25:20):
So he's trending the way he should be. I was
a practice for two days, two weeks ago and everything.
Nobody would say it because they're kind of trying to
be I wouldn't say optimistic. They're just trying to keep
it on the wraps because the don't want to rush
him right, But it seems like everything is trending towards
Week one. He's a tough guy. What I will say

(25:42):
is that I wouldn't expect, and this happened last year
and the year before. I wouldn't expect to see Joe
Burrow spreading five guys out and scoring one hundred touchdowns
a game in Week one. I talked to him a
couple of years ago and after his acl kind of
struggling in August September, and he had told me that
the vision listen This is no secret. Vision is his

(26:02):
strength and his best thing, is best attribute is spreading
guys out, reading the defense and picking them apart. And
what happens when you're out of practice, whether that's via
ACL a couple of years ago, last year of the
independent surgery, this year, it's the calf is. You don't
have the same sharpness. It's like any of us returning
to our jobs after a long layoff. You don't have
the same sharpness. And so I think you might see

(26:25):
more interceptions, might see more confusion, and just the ability,
the inability to read a defense like he would be
able to in November December. There's a learning curve when
your entire your entire strength is being able to see
everything clearly because your eyes just aren't sped up like that.
So I think he's going to be back in September.
I think he's going to play all the games he's

(26:46):
scheduled to play. But I do think if there's any
indication of the past few years, it might be another
slow start for the Begels.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
You just mentioned three injuries over the last three years
that Joe Burrow's had.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
I don't really consider Joe Burrow injury prone. But he's
had something all three years.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
When you lay it out like that, I'm I think
he's had an ailment all three seasons. How do you
feel out Joe Burrow as being injury prone, Well, a
couple of banks.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
Number One, he's tough as hell, which sometimes works against
guys I remember obviously a different deal. But Andrew Lucky
used to say he wanted to get hit on the
first series of the game every time because he just
wanted to get that out of the way, feel like
it's football and go from there. Sometimes these tough guys,
it's to their detriment and you would almost wish you
had the Kyler Murray, who because of the size, just says,

(27:32):
you know what, I'm just gonna bail on this play
and lay down and not get hit. Joe Burrow is
not that guy. He's tough and he's willing to take hits,
and sometimes that's to a detriment. You know. Brandon being
the gym with the Bills, told me last year that
the one thing he'll get on Josh Allen about it's
not bad interceptions, it's taking bad hits and going and trucking.
Kyle van Noy in Miami, a couple of years ago,
which I think the entire Bill staff was all pissed

(27:54):
off about because they were just like, why are you
doing You don't have to do this, just run out
of bounce. And So Joe Burrow is that kind of guy.
He likes to hits, he likes showing his toughness. He's
been like that for a really long time. He's almost
I mean, there's a story in Bruce Fellman's book about
how he started to practice fight at LSU because there
was another fight on the other side of the field
that he wasn't involved in. He felt bad about not
being in the fight, so we started another fight in

(28:14):
the next play. Like that's just the way he's That's
just the way he's wired, right. And So I don't
think if it's three separate injuries, right ACL calf appendix appendix,
from what I understand, he probably can't even do anything about.
I don't know football can cause that. I think it's
just kind of a human injury because I know a
lot of people who had appendix surgery and they didn't
play football, right, But I think that over time, the

(28:37):
more hits you take, and Joe Burrow's okay with taking them,
the likely order is that you're gonna get hurt, and
so I don't think he's injury prone. I just think
those type of tough guys are something to watch, especially
when you talked about Joe Burrow. He's getting more muscular,
but he's still not like. He's still not Cam Newton,
Josh Allen. He's not one of those absolute specimens as

(28:58):
far as body type goes. He's getting bigger. I saw
him in the locker room the other day. He's actually
quite jacked, but it's not he It still hurts when
he takes a big NFL hit.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Kevin Clark, it's Eddie here. I got a question for you.
I just want people to know who I'm talking to.
You know, but you can say your name, Hetty.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Garcia here, what's up?

Speaker 6 (29:17):
Man?

Speaker 3 (29:17):
My god?

Speaker 7 (29:17):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Brother?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Hey? Question for you.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
I'm a huge Cowboys fan, but there are two things
that are keeping me from saying this is our year.
It's Dak Prescott and it's Tony Pollard. Where should I
feel about these two dudes? You already say it's their year.
You've said it to me twenty times. You just don't
want to be in front of Kevin saying that correct.

Speaker 6 (29:32):
Okay, all right, wait, let's break this down. Why why
is Tony Pollard one of you? You don't think he's
good enough?

Speaker 4 (29:39):
I want to ask you, though, do you think he's
good enough to carry the backfield for the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 6 (29:44):
Yes, I'm not a running backs don't matter guy. I
think running backs matter quite a bit, but I also
think that there's a lot of things that matter more
offensive line run blocking. Getting Zach Martin back in camp
is usually important, and quarterback play and by the way,
also just offensive coordinator, which I think. I think Kellen
Moore has been overrated for a number of years. And
the number one thing people asked me kind of off

(30:05):
the record, Actually, let me phrase that. The number one
thing coach has asked me off the record was what
the hell is going on with Sean Payton? But then
the number two thing is is Kellen Moore gonna work
with Justin Herbert? And I think there I think there's
some skepticism. I mean, he was just running Kellen Moore
was just running the Jason Garrett scott Land and offense

(30:28):
with Mike McCarthy, right, And I think that there was
still I think there was some probably philosophical mix up
there last year. I think Dak having the McCarthy offense
with Brian schotten Huimer simplify things. I think that Dak
in itself, I think he's a really good quarterback. I
think he's enough to win a Super Bowl. I think
the talent there is insane. Ceedee Lamb I think was

(30:49):
the ninth best receiver last year by yards per yards
per route run, which is a hugely predictive statistic. This
is elite talent. The defense we know, dan Quinn, Michael
Parsons like, we know, they had the pieces to the elite.
I really actually liked Smith, the big defensive lineman who
they got in there. I think things are coming together.
Dak Prescott doesn't have to be the elite of the

(31:10):
elite for them to win the NFC. The NFC is barren,
and it's only going to take a couple of you know,
games in December and all of a sudden, you know,
a couple of fumble luck, couple injury luck, whatever, and
they can get a couple of easy playoff games. They
can make the Super Bowl easily. They've got the talent.
I think Dak Prescott can win a Super Bowl, and
I think you can help Tony Pollard win a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
In fact, I go as far to say Eddie stupid
the Cowboys on my pick out of the NFCX Who
you heard him?

Speaker 1 (31:40):
You heard Kevin Clark say that right now?

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Bones, Yeah, but you were not honest about your feeling.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
No, no, no, I was setting them upones. That's what you do.
You set them up. You set them up.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
You're like, hey man, I don't know, we're good enough.
And then look what did he come out with? We're
good enough to win the NFC. Baby, he baited me
speaking of that division, the Commanders, I dance.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'm not the owner anymore.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
Have you seen a difference in last year at a
Dan Snyder versus this new Josh Harris team.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
So I saw it. It's actually kind of funny. I
was there for two days last week outside the lines,
outside the field, night and day. Thousands of fans in
the stands, everybody wearing commander's gear. Everybody's excited. They were
turning people away, all that stuff right on the field,
same old team. Sam Howe doesn't like he's a long
term answer. Maybe maybe he'll develop into something. I just

(32:28):
didn't like. What he was doing in practice holding on
to the ball forever, which, by the way, all three
quarterbacks there too. The talent is just now where it
needs to be. There's only a handful of players. Think
Terry McLaren and and two of the defensive linemen or
front seven guys are the only players who are under
contract for more than two years who aren't rookies. And

(32:50):
that's that's probably a good thing. There's just no talent there.
But I also don't think anybody cares. Like Josh Harris
buying that team is the most transformational single transaction for
a franchise of any team in the last twenty years,
and maybe even like thirty years, forty years. I don't
know how far you want to.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Get cha pay.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
Well, it's just like, you know, I have a bunch
of family in Washington, right, and the way they talk
about the Washington team of the early nineties, it's like,
I like they're from a different universe, you know. I
was listening to a Bill Parcels interview a couple of
weeks ago, and he was like, oh, you know how
crazy those games were, how loud that crowd was at RFK,
And I was like, I have no idea, Like, what

(33:32):
are you talking about? I just doesn't seem I'm I
was born in nineteen eighty six, and so my first
Super Bowl, I'm happy to say for you guys, was
the last Cowboys Bill Super Bowl, and so I missed
Joe Gibbs and missed all that stuff. And so to
hear that the command was some crown Jewel franchise seems
incredibly foreign to me. And so I think they're gonna

(33:53):
be able to turn it around, like the fan base
is going to come back really quickly. And then Josh
Harris is a good owner, He'll take a year to evaluate.
You'll fire the people needed to be fired. I think
we all have a pretty good idea of who that is,
and then we can we can go from there. And
I think that you're gonna see a pretty model franchise
really quickly, because I don't think people get the way
Philadelphia loves the Eagles, the way Dallas loves the Cowboys,

(34:15):
way that New York and Jersey loved the Giants that
used to be Washington And it will be very quickly.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Are they going to change the name again?

Speaker 6 (34:24):
I hope so? Shouldn't they? Guy, shouldn't they just go
back to Washington Football team or Washington Football Club.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
I did like those football club football team better than
the Redskins, better than the command The Commanders just feel forced.
It's just like I'm going to name my team something
that commands you like we want.

Speaker 6 (34:41):
Also, any Snyder decision was bad, so just right.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Yeah, I think changing the name to something all new
seems annoying and just like we had to go through
this again. It's almost like I'm getting married for a
fourth time. You gotta change my last name over and
over again. But I would I think the Washington football
team or even club very soccer feeling would be pretty cool.
And I too see if I were a Red commit whatever,

(35:06):
if I were a fan of the Washington team, I
would be very excited at Snyder's out because at least
there's hope.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
It's just not bleak. It was just bleak with Dan
Snyder's owner.

Speaker 6 (35:14):
That was the thing when I was watching practice that
was so interested in me because I think that there
was a feeling anytime anybody flash where that's our Robert
Griffin the third, whether that's even Tara McLaren, Like there
was this feeling our Chase Young is rookie year, there's
just this feeling that Snyder was going to screw it up.
Even if Snyder had taken Patrick Mahomes in twenty seventeen,
he would have found a way to screw that up.

(35:34):
There was no momentum, there was nothing building on anything.
And now it feels like, Okay, if we had this
one colonel, this one shred of success, then we can
build on that because we have a competent owner who's
going to hire the right people. Hire a coach, knows
what he's doing, hire a GM was going to stack
talent like It's just I couldn't even imagine, like I'm
a bigger land of magic pan I'm wearing a magic

(35:56):
shirt right now. Actually, And it just felt for years,
especially like right after the Duyt Howard trade, that nothing
was ever building towards anything, and if we'd get a
guy like Tobias Harris, he would have score twenty points
a game, it would go towards nothing and then would
give him up for nothing, which is exactly ended up happening.
But it's just if there's nothing, if it feels hopeless
that that uh touches every corner of the franchise very

(36:19):
very very quickly, and it's felt like that, including in
the fan base in Washington for since since the Pennington era.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
I would say, all right, three final questions. Caleb Williams.
My question is, I don't know. Is he gonna be awesome?

Speaker 6 (36:31):
Yes? He is. I think there's a there's a couple
of good quarterbacks. Drake May is really good, Riley Leonard
at Duke is really good. Caleb Williams is probably going
to be number one. He was Calebims on my show
a couple of weeks ago. I really liked him, A
pretty thoughtful guy. He completely dismissed the Mahomes comparisons, just
said we're different people. He's got two super Bowls, I
have even won a national championship. I think. I think
he's an interesting guy, and I think some team I

(36:53):
think the Cardinals are probably going to sell out to
get him, and that's that's gonna work. I think he's
gonna be really, really, really good. Some of the advanced
metrics show he's a little Mahomes like, and so I
do think that's going to work.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
With the Cardinals seemingly tanking and with Kyler Hurt, it's
a weird position to be Kyler Murray because you want
to play to show that you still can play. You
don't want to play injured. But you also know that
if your team gets the number one pick, you're out.
That's just a bizarre situation.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
Let me push back on that. So he's made a
ton of money. He's doing a ton of money. Arizona
not the best place to date from a franchise standpoint.
Not going to help you win isn't the best thing.
Just being able to choose where you get to go.
But does he get to you in the bank?

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Does he get to choose though, who's going to.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
Trade for h Who's going to trade for that contract
he doesn't play the.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Shore somebody that has the money and probably isn't very
good also, right.

Speaker 6 (37:49):
Well maybe or maybe they just wouldn't be able to
I think it'd be really hot. I mean, listen, we're
in the post Carson Wentz, Sarah. I'll let me say
that teams were willing to trade for Carson Wentz, and
once that happened, I'm ready to believe a contract is tradable.
So maybe maybe there's that. But if he if he
doesn't play this year and he gets the reputation as
a guy who you know doesn't want to play the

(38:10):
renjer or whatever kind of like we were talking about earlier.
I think he would be you would reach for agency
lead or have to go one year in some stop
gap place. They could choose where he wants to get
a bunch of money in the bank and he could
go to a better franchise. I don't know. I think
that the Cardinals are probably going to retool anyway, and
I don't know if he's in their long term plans,
just because they might have the first two picks in

(38:31):
the draft next year because they got Houston's number one
pick too for the Will Anderson trade. So they're going
to remake their franchise. And I don't think they're going
to take Marvin Harrison Junior with the first overall pick
or whatever. They're going to take a quarterback if they
get it, and so I think that the timelines heah
on the match up there. It's a new coach, it's
a new GM. Kyler Murray's in the middle of his
second contract. It's huge, like maybe a fresh start is

(38:54):
probably better for everybody.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
I just it would hurt my ego as someone who
lives with an ego that the team and that I'm
on is being talked about tanking so they can draft
my replacement, and he already just known as a guy
with an eg I just.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Would it would be awkward for me to be around
the building at all.

Speaker 6 (39:10):
I guess we're different. I can be paid off.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Fair, fair, no amount of money, though.

Speaker 6 (39:18):
I have a number of the if my bank account
reaches it.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Okay, that's fair.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
So Kyler is sitting that number.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
All right, final question for you here, this is a
personal question for you. I mean, it really is Miami back.
They're always back, but you know are they back now? Oh?

Speaker 6 (39:37):
God, I just saw that our super booster, John Ruiz,
if you're following that, he's the guy who's been funding
the nil money that he's been sued for. Apparently his
company is a Ponzi scheme according to people who are
suing him. So Miami's back to scandals, huge scandals, which
I guess is back in. Yeah, we're back. We're about

(39:57):
what we're getting sued for Ponzi scheam running. We know
we're back. No, it's uh, it's going to take a
couple of years. I think they'll be good. This year.
They have Texas, A and M second week of the season,
which would be good. Litmus Tesskaus text A and M's
also trying to get back. I think twenty twenty four
is more likely. I think they will get back to
sort of the ten win thing. But the problem is

(40:17):
Bobby is like and you know Texas is like this
as well. But like, the competition for Miami recruits, Southworida recruits,
Fort Lauderdale recruits is just way too high and the
game changed and coaches with that's Butch Davis, Jimmy Johnson
used to be able to go around Miami with a
basically a sign up sheet and say, hey, you know,
we're going to take the twenty five best players in

(40:38):
Miami Dade and Broward County. That doesn't happen anymore. And
teams like Louisville and Georgia and Alabama are down in
Fort Lauderville every single day recruiting, and so that's that's
the choice. That that that's the state of play now,
and we have to adjust to it and understand that, like,
we're only going to get five of the top twenty
five guys in South Florida and once that happens. You

(41:00):

I was watching the BMW. I bet on the BMW,

(43:53):
and that is it was top fifty of the golfers, yep,
from seventy to fifty. Yeah, which happened, And oh Eddie's
guy won?

Speaker 4 (44:05):
Uh yeah, Victor Holland Man, I bet on him every
week and it's and you know, I don't get it twisted.
I bet five dollars, like and usually where Victor is
on a Sunday morning. I mean that's like five dollars
to win, like one hundred. Wait, so you only bet
at Sunday.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
I wake up Sunday morning and see where they're at.
And then oh, I thought you bet before the tournament. No, no,
And I usually see, like, you know, all right, who's
leading Scheffler, who's behind him? It's Patrick, no chance, keep going,
keep going, keep going. And then I'm like, ooh Victor,
like that's not bad. He's in the top four, top five, Like,
let me put five bucks on him? And did he
want the whole thing? Good for him?

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Dude, I bet five hundred bucks. Oh oh god, hold
little different. I didn't even tell you guys who I bet,
yet I split it up a little bit because if
he but I was just talking about five dollars bets here. Oh,
I'm about to tell you how stupid I am. I
don't like sharing all my bets because I just feel
like an idiot. But I wanted to spread it out
a little bit because I you can hit a golf winner.
There's so many golfers, and I bet it before tournament starts.

(45:00):
The odds are amazing. I want the really, really prime odds.
So I bet four golfers and I spent five hundred
bucks on four golfers, so one hundred and twenty five
bucks a golfer. I bet Ricky Fowler to win. He
did not win. I bet Rory to win, finished fourth.
He did not win.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
A good little run the.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Yeah he did. I thought he had a shot. I
bet Jordan Speaks to win. He did not win. I
think he missed the thirty two. I bet Scottie Scheffler
to win. Oh that's the one. Yeah, and so Eddie
well sends me over his Hey, look, I'd be five
dollars and I won, So I sent on my back.
I was like, I bet a freaking hundred whatever, and
I was about to clean up.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
That's our thing.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
And then Eddie's like, all he's gotta do is it
is pissing me off?

Speaker 4 (45:47):
Well, well, I felt like he didn't understand the situation
because You're like, shut up, I'm hoping for this. I'm like, dude,
he has to eagle the next hole and the it's
a part four. Like he's I got it, didn't matter.
But I'm like, Stu, shut me, shut up. He has
no chance of winning, and like, you've lost your bet.
Look at my bet slip.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
So dumb. I just I can't win it. Golf.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
It's not easy hard, It's not easy, Kevin. Let me
tell you, Bobby is weird tactic. He usually bets on
people and not the fourth that you mentioned. He bets
on people that he's played with before.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
Yeah, Like, uh, I did bet sam Burns, Jordan Speed
not in this mix because I look back and I
was like, when I bet sam Burns. I did bet
sam Burns by itself twenty five bucks at the very beginning,
and then he had a terrible first day. Then he
went like nine under the second day and I was like,
we're bugging no baby, and he lost it. But yeah
I did, I did, but Speed I placed with.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
Feet twice Chess and Hadley we met him at Pebble Beach.
Had I got conversation checks all the time, Bobby Tech.

Speaker 5 (46:42):
You bet them to win though not even finished or anything.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Yeah, but sometimes I bet to top ten, like chess
in I bet top ten and then he finished like twelve,
and I'm like, I didn't, dude, did.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
You call him? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (46:52):
I text him yeah, like dude, I had money on you.

Speaker 7 (46:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
How that makes him feel? He's like, yeah, bro, I
was trying to win the turn career and think about
that part. I was like, I had a bunch of
money on you. Thanks for letting.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Yeah, it sucks. Congrats, congrats, congrats on your win. Man.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
It's a trip to see to see him talk. Victor Hovel,
I don't watch him talk because I'm alway pissed I
lost the.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Bet, right, got it?

Speaker 4 (47:14):
You don't watch the poddy to talk like well, because
he was like from Norway and like you know, it's
like he spells his name with a K and he's
just like, yeah, man, I played a really good round
today And I'm like, whoa.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Oh, that's how he talks. No, I thought he would
be like straight foreigner.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
I'm never there I never bet on him, so I
by the time I got lose it, I'm out.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Yeah, it's pretty cool. I saw you're honest at the airport.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
That was crazy, you too, Yeah, both Bobby and I
were flying in.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
But here's my the problem that I have.

Speaker 4 (47:43):
Well, me too, Oh you too. Yeah, it's too late
when I was too late for me to realize that
was him. Okay, thank you, Sam, go ahead, we're coming in.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
We were. We finished the show in Tampa.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
I'll just be honest about the whole thing here Saturday night,
and as soon as shows over, we just get on
the plane and fly back, flew by private. And so
we get back and we fly to the private airport
because Jannis probably ain't gonna be at Southwest Gate negative
where we will be sometimes he's not flying Spirit right.
And so we walk in and I see a guy
I thought he played for Nashville.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
He had a jersey, a FC or SSC.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
He had a Nashville SC black jersey with a yellow
tag across the front that said in Nashville s C.
And I see him sitting in. There's like four people
in there, four or five people, and they just saw
him sitting Yeah, I saw him standing. I would have
known it was him that if he was standing on
he was he was standing. I go, wow, that's a
really big soccer player. Really, I thought that soccer player
looks very familiar. How would I? I don't know any

(48:40):
of the soccer players, That's what I thought. And so
we walk out. I walk out and my wife's behind me,
and she comes out. She goes, do you don't want
to say how to Yannis? And I was like, ye, honest,
who like, if there's any.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Other y oh you mean Yannie.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
She's like, Jannis was sitting in there, just like hanging out.
She noticed immediately and didn't say a word to any
of us. And I said, how did you know it
was him? She goes, well, I recognized him. She's a
big NBA fan, medium big NBA fan enough to know Yannis. Yeah,
and she goes, then he stood up. And I was like, oh,
that's for sure, Jannis. He goes me he stood up?
I for sure, No, dude, he was gigantic.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
You know what she said? He was so tall, but
he wasn't as thick as she thought he would be.
That's accurate.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
Was he in just like a jersey or he's a
lot of clothing.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Or no, he was ready the pooh. He had only
a jersey on top, and he was completely naked and nice.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
He still didn't notice him. Here's the deal.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
There were probably six or seven people there waiting.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
He was one of them.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
They all had Nashville sc stuff on and they were
speaking a different language. So I immediately my brain just
went to their soccer players.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
That's it. Period.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
Then I saw Yannis and I go, that's a really
big soccer player. I'm like, why would a soccer player
be that big, Like why would they want to be back?
And I saw his face and I said, he looks familiar,
but I don't know who he is. And he's speaking
a different language, don't know and.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
All that, and you still he was standing out, dude
ed and you still didn't know. He had a Greek
salad in his hand. Basketball on the other the Buck
mascot was standing behind him to.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
THEO in the back of the dang. But you know,
like I had the same thing. Somebody was just like, wow,
you didn't say how to be honest. I'm like, oh
my goodness, that's you honest.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
So I go back.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
You went back? Oh yeah, I went back. I went
back and he was walking out the door. Would you
have said something? Absolutely? I had my phone out ready
to take a picture. One I would have said something
because when I go up people, they never know who
I am. But I have such a weird name, especially
in a place like that, they just are like Bobby Bones.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
It's gotta be something. So I'm just gonna act nice.

Speaker 5 (50:37):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
It's true because they have He would have no idea,
but I say, hey, yeah to some Bobby Bones, good
to see. He'd be like sure, actor singer, Oh god,
I don't know. He just would have yes. He just anything,
man who knows. And usually they're just nice at that
point because you just say it with like confidence, Hey man,
Bobby Bones, right, okay, hello, And there's a chance you

(51:01):
know he listens the top trust me, no chance Country
Top thirty man, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
No, But it was pretty cool. I was like, oh yeah,
that was freaking honest. Yeah. I did see Rory when
we were playing at the Memphis.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
FedEx Saint Jude Classic, geting on my classics mixed up
here a lot of classics. I did see Rory walking
downstairs and we were there and we weren't teamed up
with Rory. We were teams of Sam Burns and I
don't know some other did never heard of Victor Hovlin.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
I think no, it wasn't. I'd never heard of him either,
but he was a top seventy golfer, which was weird.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
And so we go and we're all practicing and everybody's there.
You just stand around and Rory's coming like five feet
from me, and I'm just about to go, hey, Rory,
what's up.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
How's it going?

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Tobby Bones, Hey boy Bones?

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Yeah, and DJ, my brother in law Caddie, goes, that's Rory,
and I'm like, well, now I.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Can't, oh, no, loud enough for Rory to hear.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Well, maybe so I couldn't be like, hey, by Bones
and He's like, no, you guys just freak geeked out
on me.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Uh huh So, but I would have said Rory ripped.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Rory was put together well, but he was in a
golf shirt and jeans. But he wasn't like a bodybuilder,
but he definitely was in shape.

Speaker 5 (52:10):
Is he tall at all?

Speaker 1 (52:11):
No, he's short? Sure?

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Well, well, you know when I watch I have him
kind of pinned out the way I think they look.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
I see him short and stout. Is he a teapot?
I knew you were gonna do that. I dang man,
I don't. He seemed pretty tall. I don't know he was.
He was walking downstairs. It was above me. Okay, so
that's why he was tall because he's up upstairs. I
bet he's probably five eleven, says nine. That's it.

Speaker 5 (52:37):
That's short, dude, which means he's five to seven.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Did they lie on that? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (52:41):
Wait, so okay, so the so Yannis that's I mean
he looks seven to three.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
Yeah. They have to be honest about basketball height though,
at least more so because that's actually part of the game.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
He's listed at six to eleven.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
Yeah. That to me when I saw him, like, that's
that's seven. That's over seven feet.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
You're close, Hi, You're close. Yeah, you guys. Check out

got you know. You know they're also really young. Yeah,
I don't. You don't realize that, you know, because they're feeling.

You just feel like people are on TV. You're older
and smarter. But he to Karen Jones, was awesome. So
here we go, h dk DK. He followed me on Instagram?
Do you follow you on Instagram?

Speaker 1 (53:46):
He did? That's pretty cool. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
He's a redchart senior who's been with the program for
six years. He was granted another year of eligibility because of COVID.
He was the MVP in twenty twenty one's Duke Mayo
Bowl as a quarterback. He was named South Carolina Mister
Football in twenty seventeen while in high school. He is
nominated for the warfol Trophy this season, awarded to a
player which has a lot of active work in their community.
You can follow DK on Instagram, carry on Joiner or

(54:07):
at twenty he had a weird name on Twitter. Can't
underscore stop Sinco?

Speaker 5 (54:12):
Yeah yeah, got it?

Speaker 1 (54:15):
Sinco like that?

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Yeah, but it's just too the names are way too
different and is he still number five? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Okay, good, all right, but it's like you need the
names to match. Yeah, totally.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
You know, one of the one way or the other.
Area is really enjoyed it. Here is South Carolina running
back to carry and Joiner.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
So this is the indoor facility.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
It is how often do you guys get to come
in practice in this aeric It feels good in here.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
It does never. Oh, that's why you don't get to practice.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Never in here Where I was outside, this is like
one of the nicest indoor facilities I've seen.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
It honestly, is like you know, I was.

Speaker 8 (54:45):
I grew up getting recruited in different places, and this
is definitely one of the most impressive indoors I've seen
in the country.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
What about South Carolina when you came? What attracted you
to come to South Carolina?

Speaker 8 (54:56):
The fans We have very gravery loyal fans. I always say,
no one ever done really really well. They're one of
the best fans in the country. But they're very honest,
which I which I definitely appreciate. That's what I wanted
to be a part of. Definitely, a family, a family
atmosphere makes me feel that home. I feel all the
love from here, So that was definitely one of my
top priorities for staying here.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Coach Beember, what's he like? Do you ever get to
spend time with him as a dude?

Speaker 8 (55:20):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 8 (55:21):
But the thing about Coachman, he's always he's always Coach
Beamer on the few, he's a coach, But off the fields,
he's a really good guy, very very personable. He wants
to be involved within your life, your family life. We're
a really great guy. Cares a lot about easting every
one of us, and that's what we appreciate the most
about him.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
What's the hardest position?

Speaker 3 (55:37):
Because you have played them all at all twelve positions
and there's.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Only eleven, you know what I mean, That's what it
feels like like you've made up positions? Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
What's the hardest playbook wise to have to learn as
part of the whole scheme of the offense?

Speaker 2 (55:49):
You gotta be quarterback though, right yea yeah, quarterback for sure.

Speaker 8 (55:53):
But the good thing about me, I started off there,
so I kind of started off at the highest and
the hardest. Uh, you know, shouldn't play book wise, But
then you know from there on on and it kind
of gets easier. But all the positions kind of tie
into quarterback if you play the wide receiver after you've
already played quarterback, but you kind of know, Like I like,
sometimes I'll be interviewed by people, but since I interview.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
All the time, I know what they want exactly. So
if you're a wide receiver, you know, like the little
things eat right.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
What the quarterback wants. And that's the beauty of it.
That's why I really enjoy wide receiver.

Speaker 8 (56:24):
I'm not playing running back, but wide receiver's definitely cool because,
like you said, like you know what the quarterback wants,
you know what I'm saying, so I've seen it from
both perspectives.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
So that's why that was kind of like my edge
playing wide receiver. So you're playing quarterback. Are you playing
running back this year? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Did you have to put on more weight since you
kind of in the middle of it more?

Speaker 2 (56:43):
I didn't have to, but I did.

Speaker 8 (56:46):
I think it was definitely beneficial for me being able
just to take the amount of blows that I'll be
able to take.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
My strength.

Speaker 8 (56:52):
My scream staff and my interestans have done a great
job of allowing me to you know, be at the
way I'm at now, and I feel prepared, I feel strong,
So I think it was definitely.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Beneficial for me. Did you lose any speed at all?
Not at all? So you gained weight, but you didn't
lose speed. I don't understand.

Speaker 8 (57:07):
Screen the condition staff, so you okay, So it.

Speaker 7 (57:10):
Might have a lot of the easiest part.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
If I have one of those, then I'll gain speed.
And if I gain weight, I promise you God dang
good weight though. Yeah, good weight though. So that way
do you have to eat on a regimen to schedule.

Speaker 8 (57:24):
For the most part, But it's really all about what
you eat, high protein foods, not a lot of cars
and stuff like that. But I was able to you know,
I kind of a bounce to both, and while I
train and lift, that kind of adds on, well, will
kind of bounce yourself up.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
If you are a quarterback and a wide receiver and
a running back, you've played all the skill positions basically
on offense.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
That means at any time in the backfield your in motion.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
You're then a wider I mean you're basically a wide
receiver even though you're coming out of the backfield and
I'll say this, NFL wise, pro football wise, like that
is what is wanted in the NFL now because they're
guys that just run the ball up the middle, as
valuable as they are and as strong as they are.
You're seeing now that NFL teams want for one contract
and they're done, but it's the guys who can catch
the ball as well. Do you feel like there's a

(58:10):
real value for longer than this year with what you're doing.

Speaker 8 (58:13):
Yeah, I definitely agree with that, especially you see guy
like Deebo, Samuel, Christian McCaffrey, a lot of guys in
the league being able to play a lot of different positions.
B John Robinson came from Texas going to the Falcons.
So definitely my value and the value of playing multiple
positions is definitely being able to do a lot of
different things, being able just to be an asset to
you know, multiple different positions and being able just to
be asset to a team. Definitely an unpredictable You want

(58:36):
to be our predictable guy. You don't want to be
one dimensional, especially not in this league with the defense
is getting a lot of faster.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
I mean, you know, a guy super talented now, so TKA.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
You're from Charleston, so you're not far from here from
home when you were growing up and you were obviously
such a good athlete, did you know all the other
good athletes in the area and there's a club?

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Yeah, I never got invited to that club, Like did
you know them?

Speaker 7 (58:59):
And did you like you guys like keep up with
each other?

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Man, Yeah, for the most part.

Speaker 7 (59:04):
We're not in it.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Yeah, I didn't even know there was like a group
like that, like one text message to all that athletes.
It kind of actually was.

Speaker 8 (59:11):
I was blessed enough that a lot of the good
athletes went to my high school, but we had a
lot of different guys also around the city that was
pretty good as well.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
So we definitely all supported each other.

Speaker 8 (59:21):
Kind of being where I'm from, Nope, Charleston, I'm not
not not the most prettiest place. It's a place that
a lot of guys don't really come out of. So
we definitely use that to our advantage, and you know,
stick with stuck with each other, was able to communicate
with each other, kind of ulift each other throughout that time.

Speaker 3 (59:35):
A little upset at that that all the it's again
like all the cool kids have their own place to

Hey, how fast you're on today? How's your protein intake? God,
feelings are hurt.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
When you were a kid, was playing college football a
reality to you or did it seem like, man, that's
only what people do on TV?

Speaker 8 (59:57):
Yeah, not at all. I kind of I seen it.
My dad was like a Florida Gators fan or something
like that. But I never thought it was tangible. I mean,
it was always a dream, but I never thought I
was gonna have the opportunity to actually go play college football.
So I didn't really pay pay a lot of attention
to it, not inside. I was about fourteen, thirteen years old.
Whenever I received my first offer.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
You got to offer it thirteen fourteen years old, thirteen
from here?

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
Wow, wait, hold on, you're gonna hurt his feelings again.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):

University of South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Steve Spury, I know, I see old, but yeah, definitely.
So does that come like a letter in the mail?

Speaker 6 (01:00:33):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
Does he show up at the house.

Speaker 8 (01:00:34):
This was an in person thing. I came here off
of Bluff Roe where they used to practice. I came
to a showcase because they were already kind of recruiting me.
And then I came to a seven or seven tournament.
I showcased my talents and I was blessed to and
he called me on my way on my way home
on the bus and offered me a foot rash. I
didn't even know what it was at the time.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
Like at thirteen, i'd have arpit here and you're getting
a full bright scholarship.

Speaker 8 (01:00:57):
Yeah, I definitely didn't know what it was until my
coach explained it to me, and then I realized was
gonna have an opportunity to pay for school and get
a free education.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
So then I was you know, all four when.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
You were in ninth grade, did you play much on
the senior high too? How did it work at your
high school? So in eighth grade, I played junior varsity
junior varsity.

Speaker 8 (01:01:16):
My freshman year ninth grade came, I kind of we
already had a quarterback that was playing already, so they
kind of tried to put me in different positions, but
it kind of really wasn't my thing. And then I
took over at quarterback towards the end of the year
and went on I had a successful career.

Speaker 9 (01:01:32):
I end the quarterback. What year my freshman year you played?
You started a quarterback your freshman year? Yeah, and then
twenty fifteen, I was fifteen years though. We want to
stay checking fifteen and oh at Williams Vice Stadium.

Speaker 7 (01:01:42):
Story is getting crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
Where you was just so much faster than everybody. It's
like rookie League on Madden, like rookie mode. That's what
it feels like. Like I can run, you know, a
corner all day long. I know if it's one on one,
if there's a single high safety, I know they're a
man coverage, I'm about to bust the route.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Was that what it was like for you? That easy?

Speaker 8 (01:02:02):
I mean it seemed to be My fresh year was
kind of difficult. But once I got the hang of it,
I was I played quarterback. Everything was kind of It's natural.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
I mean, I was.

Speaker 8 (01:02:10):
Blessed with the abilities to be able to ball like that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
I didn't even have to tell them. They knew.

Speaker 8 (01:02:29):
They kind of already knew. I was blessed for the
National Spotlight to be able to you know, everybody kind
of paid his interest to it. So I didn't even
have to tell them.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
Who did you decide between? When you did you commit?
At thirteen? Nah?

Speaker 8 (01:02:40):
So I actually went on to receive fifty two offers
from schools all across the country, everywhere I had in mind.
But my last two schools was North Carolina Stadium here.
So I was battling between.

Speaker 7 (01:02:51):
These two schools.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):

It's everything. At first, I was definitely scared at first.
I think that's a lot of people's first reaction to
being this young. But it's been everything. Man, It's been
the best thing that ever happened to me. Being able
to wake up to my daughter's phase every single day
keeps me going. I'm definitely definitely my wife.
