Speaker 2 (02:22):
Oh that's you. Whoa cool picture?

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Like to see it?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, I can kind of see it.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Well.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
So it says Bobby Bones Pitcher, National League rookie card,
A little emblem up there, look at you, and so
it's me pitching at the Major League Baseball Celebrity All
Star Game. And then on the back Bobby Bones National League.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Are your stats on there?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes? All Star Game? Batting average one thousand, yeah, never
got out home runs one RBI four wow, game at
fours And then it says named MVP after four innings
on the mound and one in center field.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
So this is the card that's leg So if we
want to do a signing, guys, line up afterward twenty
bucks a pop.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Now that I'm a card guy, how many did you make?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Five hundred?

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, okay, so that's gonna bring the value down a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I haven't given a single one away. There's no population.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
What is it? What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I sent one to a kid whose mom was like, hey,
a kid had a bad day from the show. So
right now he's got the one of one. Well it's
not one of one. What he's got the one of
But I haven't sent out any he's just got one. Okay,
so it's up five hundred. I could up the I
could double the value. About burning two and fifty of the.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Real quick, that's what I'm saying. There, Light them on fire.
That's really cool.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Though.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
You got cards?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Well movie made them.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Oh yes, it's not like tops didn't make that.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
He sent them into a to get graded.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
No, because they're not on a checklist. PSA only grades
cards that are on a checklist from a brand that
they work with. Now, I could probably send it to
one of the smaller possibly groups, but we made these.
There's a place that makes baseball cards, and so honestly,
I thought it would be fun to have a big
card guy, and then still considering on my eBay page,

(04:04):
they like you end up winning a big item. I
put I signed one in there. That's cool, dude, I
don't know that I'm doing that yet. It could be
like Willie want. I don't know, but we made them.
They's just give away deals. But I've only given away one,
so don't we put your dirty, grubby hands on them?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
All right? Can wait?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Can I have one condition to this?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
One here is already in a pat it's in a sleeve.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Oh they're not all in sleeves.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, they're all like only they're freshly produced, still in
a box. So MVP card, this is the rookie. Rookie.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
You can tell too if one of them is going
to be like graded at ten, because some of them,
like they're cut a little bit differently on the line,
you know, like normal baseball cards, because.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
You can send a card in to get graded and
you're like, it's in perfect condition. But if it's cut,
if they cut it wrong, it's not a ten.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Or even if the print was like a little off
and it's a little faded, I know, it's not even
my fault.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
So that's what's up. Big News got baseball.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Car that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Let's do the tittle tattle. Here we go.

Speaker 7 (05:06):
Which head coach do you think has a chance to
win their first title this year?

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Uh so the ones that have a title and Saban
doesn't coach anymore. Saban was more than four Kirby Smart,
uh Dabo which he doesn't take transfers or money. They're
like basically running amish program, old school. Yes, it's like
they make their own milk, they churn their own butter
over there. I respect it. I don't want to do
Mac ground will want to Texas with Vince Young. Oh yeah,

(05:33):
so those Carolina Yeah so the three that are still
in the game, Kirby, Mac and Dabbo so the next
to join them. If Ryan Day does not win a
title or get to the championship game, it's over. He's
gonna get fired. He has every resource. They have maybe
four uh all first Team All Americans too. I think

(05:55):
I saw like three or four First Team All Americans
at Ohio State. They have They have paid for everything
they need to paid for. They also have as offensive coordinator.
They took the head coach from UCLA who is also
an NFL coach, who is also a former head coach Eddie.
Who's the head who is now the offensive coordinator Ohio State?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Kelly Boom, let's go, yeah totally.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
I know that's good. And who's the head coach?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Come on, stop there, I know this is what he
worked on.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Who's the head coach at Alabama?

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Oh yeah, figure it out, Kaylin the boor.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Got it there? Good job. I think it's probably Ryan
Day just because everything has been set up. I mean,
everything has to go right in college football at least has,
and now you get to lose a couple of games too.
The weird thing is going to be Ohio State and
Michigan playing each other at the end, and they play,
and they can play again the next week in the

(06:44):
conference championship, and then they can hypothetically play again in
the College Football Playoff. They could play three times in
like five or six weeks, which is hilarious. But I'm
gonna go just because it's set up so wonderfully for
him to do so Ryan Day. I think other people.
You have to look at Dan Lanning at Oregon, same
conference now, which is interesting. Steve Sarkizi and Texas is

(07:05):
gonna be good. They're gonna be in the SEC. I'm
curious to see how Texas does in the SEC because
they are loaded. But we can't forget the thing about
Texas is they're Texas and they that's under achieving, you know.
But again, they performed well last year, but they went
to they're in the playoff. Great, good for Texas. I

(07:26):
hate Texas, but they're set up. They're just in the SEC.
And it's not that Texas can't compete in the SEC
or that that talent can't compete in the SEC. It's
just they haven't had to ever do it in the
history of their life. So now they're moving up a level.
They have the talent to compete, but will they adjust
quick enough to not one or two games, but like

(07:48):
seven or eight where people have similar speed in size.
I mean, Texas is going to be bigger and faster
than most teams anyway, but in the SEC, you're playing
teams that have similar speed in size. Once conference play,
it starts almost every week except for a Vanderbilt, except
for occasionally if like Mississippi State's down or even Arkansas's down,

(08:09):
or one of the teams that float up and down
the SEC a little bit. Even the mid teams if
you're not ready. Every week they will sneak up on you.
So I'm still gonna go Ryan Day. He's set up
to do it. I don't like Ohio State, I don't
dislike Ohio State, but I think he's probably the coach
that wins a national title. If you're putting money in

(08:30):
my hand and saying bet it, but I'm not betting
it with my own money.

Speaker 7 (08:33):
You don't want to put money on Ohio State.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, because I don't like Ohio State. I don't dislike
Ohio State. I don't like Ohio State. I get annoyed
that when there's four teams, Ohio State automatically gets if
it's even close, they get in. I think that's what's
gonna be fun about the twelve team playoff, which will
be sixteen teams, not next year, but I bet you
in two or three years it's sixteen that quick because
there's no change other than the four teams that get
to buy. There's no restructuring really the tournament because four

(08:58):
teams get a buy in the first round of the
Collegeotball Playoff, so it's not like you're having to add
another anything. You just take that little bracket and move
it out, and so it's like the Sweet sixteen in basketball.
Ryan Day's my answer.

Speaker 7 (09:09):
Next question, All right, which Week one matchup are you
looking forward to most?

Speaker 1 (09:12):
First of all, I hate Week zero. They should just
call it like exhibition. I know the games count. They
should put one big game on, just call that Week one.
You just don't like the name. No such thing as
zero zero is not a thing. So let's make a
couple of games. Because there was obviously that Ireland game.
We should have a couple of big games in a

(09:33):
Week zero one. Sure, Week one. Half the game that
I think most people are looking forward to is Clemson
at Georgia. I think that sets the tone for both
of those programs. Again, in the past, it would probably
ruin the season for one of those programs, or they'd
be really behind the eight ball. Going further, but not
so much. But Clemson at Georgia. If Clemson wins the game,

(09:58):
Clemson's Clemson will be in in the tournament if they
win this game, because it's not like they're over there
in the a c C playing anybody. So if Georgia wins,
Clemson is another team. So if Clemson, this is a
bigger game for Clemson than it is Georgia. I would
say that's probably the game people looking forward to most.
I think the Notre Dame Texas A and M game

(10:19):
is interesting to me because Notre Dame is supposedly good,
and again they get a bit of the Texas treatment.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Are they playing in Texas?

Speaker 1 (10:25):
They're playing yeah at cult station long so in Texas
A and M top twenty team in college station. That's
just a fun matchup that my head doesn't really process, yeah,
because they never play yeah that Notre Dame. Do people
from Notre Dame even go to Texas? Like that?

Speaker 3 (10:40):
To me?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, So that's a fun game too. USC is going
to LSU, and is what's USC gonna do? You know?
Do they have a defense this year? I mean literally,
is anyone on the field playing defense? So all those
are fun, but I'm gonna I'm still gonna go Clemson
at Georgia. All right?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Next one?

Speaker 7 (10:56):
All right, let's go to the NFL. Here, which team
do you think has the best chance to go from
last to first in their division?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
So the easy answer is the Bengals, but that's just
because Joe Burrow was hurt. So I'm gonna take the
Bengals off because the Bengals easily could have won their
division last year, or they'd have been up with Baltimore
battling it out. But if we're putting like the teams
that actually sucked, I'm going to read you the last
place team. These are teams that actually sucked that we're
looking for a big improvement. Bears, Titans, Chargers, Cardinals, Panthers, Patriots, Commanders.

(11:27):
Those are all the teams that were in last place
of their divisions. So the teams that are not going
to go to first place are the Patriots. They don't
they'll stay at the bottom most like, I don't think
they win their division. With Buffalo and the Jets and
the Dolphins. That's a tough one. I'm also going to
pull the Titans. I think the Titans will I think

(11:49):
they'll win a few more games, and people expect them
to win this year, but I don't think they're going
to win that division, so I'm gonna pull them. I'm
pulling the Cardinals. Once Eddie told me, here's a little
fun fact for you there, Casey. Eddie told me to
bet the Cardinals because they flew over his house and
it was like a sign from God's the Cardinals were
the division.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
A lot of it was a big roar. Dude, I
love that, and it's their team playing. Flying over my
house is a sign.

Speaker 8 (12:15):
But like the Harrison Junior, it's just fine above Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, well he wasn't he was like twelve then, yeah, okay,
I understand.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Now you look at the Panthers. They were last. I
don't think they're gonna win the division, but that division,
I don't guess anything would surprise me. I don't think
they really have the you know, the ammunition to come
out of that gunfight. I'd like to see them win
some games, though. I'd like to see Bryce Young actually
play pretty well.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
I'd be nice.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
I can't put them on it. So now we're at
the Bears, the Chargers, and the Commanders. I think the
Bears division is too hard. I think the Bears will
actually be a lot better, obviously, but I think that
division is too hard, which puts us at the Chargers
and Commanders. I don't think the Chargers are going to
take the Chiefs just straight up. That has been there,
so that leaves us as the commanders. It gets the
commanders we do what go worse to first. I do

(13:04):
think jayde and Daniels has a great shot at being
a Rookie of the Year. I think your old coach,
you're you're pissing me, your old defensive coordinators. Now the
head coach got his hat backwhere got Yeah? Yeah, okay,
you know the offensive coordinator is uh for do it?

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, he can do it, offense coordinator. Give me, give
me a hint.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
He coached on your Cardinals team in college. He coached
Baker Mayfield. No, no, Johnny Manziel.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah. What's his name?

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Good looking?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
What's his first Cliff? Cliff? Coach Cliff yea Kingsbury.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Correct, he's the that's a coordinator. So it's a whole
new team.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
That is a whole new deal.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
And uh, you know what's up a Dallas? Who knows
what's up with the Eagles.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
They'll be better than the Giants.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
They will be I think they'll be better than the Giants.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Better than the Giants, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
The Giants could surprise you. Daniel Jones just has to
play five and a half out of ten.

Speaker 9 (14:00):
I mean, he threw a pick six in the preseason.
Nothing matters in the preseason. Nothing matters exactly. We've got
nothing here we go. I think the Giants can win
eight games. Mhm so and that's not even five hundred.
But I do think Daniel Jones has flashes and I had.
I think the Giants will finish last. But I'm not
going to write them off.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
The Eagles, obviously, with Philly, same head coach, new offensive coordinator,
the issues between hurts and that that wholes it.

Speaker 7 (14:27):
I'm going with the Commanders. Think they're gonna be pretty
Goodlast question, I like it. What's QB coming off of injury?
Do you think he'll get his team back to the playoffs?
Aaron Rodgers or Joe Burrow?

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Do I have to pick one? Yeah, because I think
they'll both get in. I have to go Burrow. Sorry,
but I think you'd say the same. Being a Jets fan,
everything tends to not work out, all right. That's the
title saddle. Thank you name the tittle tonnle. Let's talk

(14:57):
about the parlay this week with DraftKings.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
We're gonna go.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh, it's early. I don't have the fields yet. I
don't have the fields on how good these teams are.
So early, I like to feel a little bit like
to get my hands done. I like to like to
do some touching. So we're just gonna go money lines
on all these games until we kind of get the
until I can kind of rub a little bit. Yeah,
I need to feel I need to caress the teams
to see how good I think they're weird, but no, no,

(15:20):
I need to like go knuckles deep.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
We're talking football here.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
We are talking to football here. So here we go.
We're gonna do three games. I got them lined out
for you. Week one, Notre Dame in Texas A and M.
We're going Texa A and M money line because they're
crazy down in College Station. Notre Dame is not going
to know what hit him. Georgia they're in Georgia. They're

(15:43):
in Atlanta, so it's not it's they're in Georgia the state,
but they're not really Georgia. Money line over Clemson. That
I'm not really taking a big chance there. I'm be
honest with you. That one feels that, that feels pretty solid.
And then I'm gonna go l s U the rebuild,
the rebuilt a bit LSU money line over USC you

(16:05):
know not coincidentally all SEC teams.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Oh no, you didn't even think of it.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Like that.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
I probably did supcods.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
You didn't even look at the other games too.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
It so we got Texas A and m over Notre
Dame Georgia over Clemson LSU at usc All home teams,
all SEC teams Week one. That's our parlay. If you

Speaker 7 (17:03):
Now we're gonna get over to former running back, full back,
all around, great guy, great player, chiefs Hall of Famer
Tony Richardson Tony's a super smart dude, got his master's degree.
He's now a mentor for the young players. He still
lives in New York. Says that he works with the
Giants and the Jets a lot with bringing guys up
and teaching them the right route to go when it
comes to the career and money and all that good stuff.

(17:23):
The list goes on and on, so I'll just let
you hear it for yourself. Tony talks about that. Here
is Tony Richardson from Fanatics Vests in New York.

Speaker 10 (17:30):
So, as you were coming on, we just finished speaking
with Rich Easen, Great Rich Arsene, great Love. So what
is your relationship with Rich?

Speaker 11 (17:40):
You know, it's funny, it goes way back. So actually
when I was the first person in the as a
current player to finish his master so I got my
NBA and finance and so Rich the organization, the Chiefs Organization,
did a phenomenal job of really just inviting an entire
organization anybody that wanted to come. Mister Hunt, the late
mister Hunt, actually came to the graduate. So they did

(18:00):
a big feature on it, and so they came to
my house. They filmed the graduation and everything else, and
then Rich obviously did a great job of producing it
and talking over it. But they also used to do
a segment call I guess it was like NFL cribs
or something like that. That's funny that you know we
did those things. But yeah, Rich was doing that well.
So it's amazing from where he started.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
And where he is now. I mean, he's a legend.

Speaker 10 (18:24):
So let's talk about being a fullback for a second out.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, like that don't really happen anymore.

Speaker 11 (18:29):
Well, you know, actually there's a few guys and so
I'm fortunate. So I work for Legends Community and my
boss Tracy Pearlman, and well my main boss, Roger Gondelle's
the other way. He's actually on the stage right now,
on the fanatic stage. And then and Tracy Pearlman. So
so interesting enough. Working for the NFL, I get a
chance to do a lot of mentorships. So we go

(18:50):
down to the Combine and I get a chance to
work with me and work done. We get a chance
to work with the running backs and fullbacks. Generally there's
one fullback at the Combine. So one of the one
of my great mentor stores was I got a chance
to meet Alec Ingle, and he was I had him
at the Senior Bowl and he was like, hey, man,
do you think I could play? I was like, dude, absolutely,
And then from the Senior Bowl, I saw him at

(19:11):
the Combine and then the Combine he ended up going
to the Raiders. Now he's the highest paid fullback in
the Miami Dolphins. And so I built up relationships. So
we have we have c J. Ham, he's uh, he's
down in Minnesota. Yeah, Hugh Scheck. I talked to Houston,
so it's you know, it's a and then you got
the veteran ram up during Baltimore, so there's there's a
few guys that are still out there.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
It's just you know, everyone's like.

Speaker 11 (19:32):
Like right now, I don't if I was currently playing,
I don't know if i'd be in the National Football
League because if I was with the Chiefs, there's no
fullback like they have Tyreek Hill in the backfield obviously
not there anymore, but you know they run a spread
offense and everything's moving, so the position itself, it's kind
of it's starting to come back. I guess when the
weather changes, that's when they start putting fullback.

Speaker 5 (19:51):
That's when they sign up in the winter.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
All right, it's below sixty, let's sign us a full back.

Speaker 11 (19:56):
All you do is it's like, look, during the season,
we just want you to sit in the house.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
She's eat meat all day long.

Speaker 11 (20:02):
When it starts to get cold outside, we're gonna bring
you out like a polar bear and put you out there.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Just be a better ran to go hit people.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
What about It seems to like fullbacks, much like tight ends,
have to be a bit more utility es, No doubt,
they're not just straightforward to end the gap take out
the linebacker like they've also, I mean you check is
a great example of that.

Speaker 10 (20:21):
Could you catch you know?

Speaker 11 (20:23):
It's funny enough, I think anything. I mean, I was
a I called the ball pretty well. But it's one
of those things.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
I think.

Speaker 11 (20:29):
It's just as far as the route running, Like there
was times where we'd motioned myself out the backfield and
then I'd run like a non route. But nowadays you
got like hues check, he's running routes like he's running
corner routes, he's running comebacks, he's doing I mean, he
had won in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
He came back and caught him Like, man, I don't
have those type of hands.

Speaker 11 (20:43):
But you know, with anything, I guess if I was
asked to do that, and obviously to keep your job,
if you're asked to do that, you're gonna do it.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
But yeah, and that's the thing. Now.

Speaker 11 (20:52):
It's funny because I do all these football camps with
some of my buddies who are running camps and some
of my own, and I'm like.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Okay, where's the running backs.

Speaker 11 (21:00):
We'll get three running backs and forty wide receivers. But
you got to think about it, like, the shelf life
for running backs is three years. Wide receivers are making
thirty five million dollars a year. So parents are like, no,
you're not playing running back. They're gonna get you out
of here. So it's interesting that what we do is
we put the running backs in the and the wide receivers.
We put them together because in order to play running
back in this league, you have to be able to

(21:21):
run routes.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
You know.

Speaker 11 (21:23):
The pass protection part is one thing I think that's
kind of lost our game because you couldn't play running
back in the league if you couldn't pick up the blitz. Well, nowady,
there's no blitz because a lot well if they are blitzing.
The linebackers are one hundred and eighty five pounds just
because they got to cover running backs side of the backfield.
But yeah, I guess if I had to, I would
be able to justin catch the ball.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
How special when they called your number to get that
goal line carry.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
You know it happened.

Speaker 11 (21:46):
But you know it's funny when some years before pre
Hume came to Kansas City, I was in feature back,
so I got the ball quite a bit, and then
all of a sudden pre showed up and there was like, no,
you're going back put.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Your hands like you're going to put your hand back
in the dirt.

Speaker 11 (21:58):
But yeah, it was always special and a great thing
for me is like of all the years of the
years I play, I've always played with an incredible offensive line.
I mean, you think about playing in Kansas City, I
had Hall of Famer and wheel shields.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
I had Willie Roafe, I had Brian Waters.

Speaker 11 (22:13):
Then I go to Minnesota, I got I got Steve Hutchinson,
Brian McKinny. Then I come to the Jets and I
got Fanica, I got the Brickershaw, I got you know, Mangled.
So every place I played, I played with some great
offensive lineman, which made my job that much easier. So
for a fullback, me getting the ball is just like
a guard getting the ball.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
So they cheered me on.

Speaker 11 (22:33):
So I'm like, you know, I get the ball like
maybe five times a season, so it's all fun, it's
all good.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
What about playing, If let's say today you're coming up,
what would would you have been a tight end?

Speaker 3 (22:43):
I mean I probably would have had to have been.

Speaker 11 (22:44):
I probably would have to be someone like a Dallas
part just because I mean now I've lost, like I mean,
I'm down to waigh myself today, I'm like two twenty three.
I played about two forty two, so I've lost such amendous.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Amount of weight.

Speaker 11 (22:55):
But I would probably have to be that hybrid type
of guy, like a Dallas Clark, not saying I have
no hands like him, but maybe a guy that body
type that could run your outes side of the backfield
and catch the ball, but also line up and block
as well.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
How does your body feel after being so I mean, dude,
you plowed through a lot of lines.

Speaker 10 (23:11):
How does it feel today?

Speaker 11 (23:12):
You know, I can tell you I feel pretty good now,
But when I was going through my line of duty,
when I was trying to get off my benefits, I
was horrible and I was like everything, could I show
up in a wheelchair brace? But not funny enough? So
I work out every day. I still lift weights. I'm
big into yoga. Uh funny enough. When I got to
the Dallas Cowboys and UH in nineteen ninety four, like

(23:33):
I was pretty fast out of college, and our tight
end Nobchek actually said he's like, t rich straight ahead,
you're incredible, but if you make a left or right,
you're gonna blow your hip out. So he got me
started to do I started with taekwondo, and I started
just getting loose, and then all of a sudden, I
got to Kansas City and my buddy introduced me to
Bickham Yoga, and I think that's what really helped me

(23:54):
play seventeen years because I never had any knee injuries.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Knock on wood.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't know if this is real wood yt yoga,
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I done that.

Speaker 11 (24:02):
But it's it's great because, like, and I tell the
young guys now, because even at the combine, they do
flexibility tests, and they do it because if if you
get your foot stuck in the ground, if one or
three things are gonna give your ankle's gonna pop your
knee joint or your hip. And if you're flexible, like
I mean, right now, I'm not gonna do it because
I got these little limon pants on.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
But I can split. I could do a split, but
if you get into it way, I can do a
split if.

Speaker 11 (24:25):
I if if if you get into an awkward position,
because that's just only when people you know, knees or whatever,
because it's like they getting the foot calling the ground
and they have tight hips or different things like that.
So I think the key for my success was flexibility.
But that's one thing. Like my body feels great. I
have knock up with no pain. Don't tell. Don't tell
the doctors like I give my buddies. I'm like, man,

(24:46):
make sure you do all your medical stuff. And they're like, man,
can I play basketball? I said, well, don't go in
there and just say I just shot a fourteen games
full full press. I said, you know, but afterwards, you know,
because you got to still live your life. But you know,
when you start feeling out your paperwork gotta be like,
my neck.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Hurt, everything that might hurt. Final question for you, and
you're known so much for giving back even working with
a lot of the young guys. Uh, somebody just coming
into the league coming from a small to a mid
size school.

Speaker 10 (25:14):
Right, let's say they weren't an Obama or in Ohio State.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Like, what is your advice to these guys where I mean,
is it so much the speed physically?

Speaker 10 (25:21):
This is the speed?

Speaker 1 (25:22):
And then also like real personal life stuff like what
do you work with these kids on?

Speaker 11 (25:26):
Yeah, you know, the biggest thing and that's that's that's
that's a very good question because a lot of parents
always come to me and they're like, Okay, my kids
getting recruited. Potentially he can go to Ohio State and
he's probably like like, all right, now, if you go
to Alabama, chances are you probably miss you like a
five star times ten. You're probably not gonna play until
your junior possibly senior year.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
But you know, one of those.

Speaker 11 (25:48):
Things that now the way tape is for anyway to
internet everything else. My biggest thing is just first of all,
getting your foot in the door. And then when you
get your foot in the door, it's just about going
to work. Because I came out of Auburn, which is
you know, we we went undefeated.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
We were eleven to zero. And I get to that.

Speaker 11 (26:02):
I was undrafted to the Dallas Cowboys, and so basically,
if you're undrafted, you're in a practice squad. My main
job was to make sure Emmis Smith's helmet didn't touch
the ground, Darryl Johnson had water.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
You know, it was just part of my role, but
I accepted it.

Speaker 11 (26:14):
And so the biggest thing, like my dad said, he
served our country for thirty two years, and he would say, son,
there's a reason why you have two ears in one mouth.
So sometimes it's okay just to be quiet. He didn't
say that, he would say other words, but to basically
shut up and listen. And so I took that. I
took that role, and I said, you know what, I'm
gonna do everything I can to show my value, to
show my worth, and I just bust my butt every
single day, understanding that you know, things happen and everything's

(26:39):
always not gonna work in your favor, but but you know,
if you continue to work hard and you know good
things that happened. But once you get your foot in
the door, understanding every single year, every single year I
was in the National Football League, they brought someone in
or they drafted someone to beat me out every single year.
So never rest on your lolls. Like if you make
the team your second year and be like, okay, now
I made it. I stopped work and hard. Guess what

(27:00):
they're going. There's a young kid in college right now
who will come take your job. And so that's the
biggest thing that that that's the biggest advice I give
guys is that you know I don't I mean, I
can't run. I used to be able to run fast,
but you know I might not be able to run
a four to three. But that no one's gonna be
able to work me. And that's the biggest thing that
I think carries over into life. You guys are supposed
to talk to me about flag football. You we didn't
even talk about flag football.

Speaker 10 (27:20):
We ain't got there yet.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Okay, you said last quarter, last question, last question, like
about my personal Like.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, no, we get the real stuff.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Coming up to but like we got selfish questions.

Speaker 10 (27:33):
We do selfish first.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
I love it first. So my stuff we'll talk. We'll
talk about while you're here. Yeah. I just thought Michael,
you got see him.

Speaker 10 (27:43):
He came by and hung up earlier.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Yeah, that's why. I kind of did a double take
and say, oh, there he is.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, and he's like I was talking with him and
I couldn't stop thinking.

Speaker 10 (27:49):
He's worth billions.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Oh yeah, just a billion, just billion?

Speaker 10 (27:52):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I will see the commercials.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
I'm just walking through here.

Speaker 10 (27:54):
We get we identifying it.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
It looks like Baker.

Speaker 10 (27:58):
Nope, we're trying to a fun I don't know who
that is.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (28:03):
Oh, I think that's a I don't even see who
the person. I just see a lot of group of it.
That's a streamer. Yeah, oh I don't stream we stream.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Is that Is that the kid that plays the video games?

Speaker 12 (28:19):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Man?

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, okay, okay, yeah I like football. Yeah, flag football. Yep.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
I see the commercials about the during the games, about
flag and the growth of the sport. It's also in
the Olympics coming up in So are those somewhat connected?

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah? Actually it was so.

Speaker 11 (28:35):
I'm actually h so myself, Drew Brees, Uh, we're actually uh,
Bobby Taylor, we're actually uh, I guess spokes for spokespeople
for for flag football, and so you know, it's actually
crazy thing about flag football. I just got back from London, obviously,
the Jets and Vikings are playing there and I got
a chance to we hosted a flag football tournament for
young girls and it was Chicago Bears and UH and

(28:57):
the Jets. You should have seen these young women, like
first they're two years into the sport, but just to
see their athleticism, to see their want two and understanding
that now these kids can get college scholarships to go
play flag football. And also it's and it's one of
those things that it's not a male dominated sport anymore.
But yeah, as far as the Olympics, like me and Bobby,
we had a chance to go down to the World

(29:17):
Games which is actually in Birmingham, Alabama, and you see
these women out here competing and they're like they're getting down,
they're getting after it. So to be able to see
that women are actually now being able to get college scholarships,
and also you know, now it's an Olympic sport, I
think it's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Would the goal be with especially female flag football because
they're with the Olympics four years is male and female.
It's also five on five like Olympic wise, Yeah, is
the goal to get universities to eventually have teams as well?

Speaker 11 (29:44):
You know, I think that's where I think that's where
it's headed because I, you know, because the Jets I do.
I still do a lot of work with the Jets,
and we actually sponsored like tackle football, so there's we
have a high school, there's high school tackle football as
high school flag. And now I think colleges will potentially
and it's I don't know if it's going to be
five on five, but there are leagues. I know colleges
are starting to uh you know, I guess not necessarily
D one, but maybe D two or D three where

(30:06):
women can actually get college scholarships to play flag football.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
And when I would play flag when I was younger,
I would cheat and put in my pockets well yeah yeah, yeah,
like elementary.

Speaker 10 (30:15):
School, yeah whatever.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
I would just I didn't know that there was a
rule though you can't. I guess you can't. It's called
flag gardens.

Speaker 10 (30:21):
I would do. That would a couple of like this, Yeah,
I would nod it up.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
That would.

Speaker 11 (30:26):
But you know, the cool things like these kids are
so athletic now that they're running full speed and they'll
drop down to like we're in need and touch the
ground and they just that's legal. You drop down and
they can't pull your flag. Yeah, so they got these
girls got skills. These women have skills.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
If they are parents that are listening to this now
and they have daughters who have an interest, yep, where
can they go to read more about what you're doing
or learn more about what you're doing?

Speaker 11 (30:49):
Yeah, I think I think you just go to NFL
dot flag or NFL if you go down, if you
go to the NFL website, there's always different posts of
different things like that. But I know if you go
to the NFL's website, it's NFL dot flag or flag
dot NFL dot com. I'll put yeah, so yeah, if
you do that actually, because there are so many opportunities,
not only just.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
For it's NFL flag dot com.

Speaker 11 (31:11):
There we go, NFL flag dot com. I knew it
was one of those, but yeah, so that's a beautiful
thing too. And it's and it's and it's a great
entry for I think for men and women just because
we're boys and girls. Because I know a lot of
times parents always say, well, what age should I start
my child playing tackle football? And I say, well, if
you're kind of concerned about that, then start with flag.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, And you know, and that's the biggest thing for me.

Speaker 11 (31:32):
Like I grew up in Germany, so my first time
really playing organized football was my tenth grade year in
high school, but I did play soccer, and just having
the versatility of playing different sports I think helped me
as I started to really get into, you know.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Really tackle football. So I think if young people.

Speaker 11 (31:47):
Start playing flag at an early age, because I mean,
it's every athletic movement that you're going to make in
any sport because in basketball you gotta jump, and flag
you're jumping, you got to make people miss and all
those kinds of things. And so I think I think
the game of flag is really you know, it's really
helping our game because at one time, obviously when you
see injuries and things of that nature, and then parents
are like, is the game of football safe?

Speaker 3 (32:08):
And the game of football is very safe? And I
think a great entry way is too flag.

Speaker 10 (32:12):
No fullbacks in flag.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Listen, you guys are trying to run me out of here.
There's no fullbacks and tackle football.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Well, my question was going to be is cyclical, Will
we someone again will adopt like the wing t triple option,
because everything that's old is new is old again.

Speaker 10 (32:30):
Yeah, so we're we're spread.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
You know, we're McDaniels in Miami, but we're the can't
Andy Reid.

Speaker 10 (32:36):
But who when we see two fullbacks on the.

Speaker 11 (32:39):
Field, like that's no, you know, think about it, and
that's why I think it, Like I love about Mike
McDaniel because they use their fullback all the time. Now,
granted he does it, I mean he I mean, I'm like, dude,
y'all don't even know how you keep your weight up
because they have him running. But the think about it
is like they use a fullback almost sixty to seventy
percent of offensive snaps. So I do I don't know
if we gonna get a because you know, I mean,

(33:01):
I don't know if we're get a fullback and flag.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
But yeah, don't don't start throwing stuff out of that.
Try to give you.

Speaker 11 (33:06):
I'm gonna have kids one day and be like, dad,
what it was a fullback? Hey, this is a fullback?
Was like, maybe they didn't, so we'll see.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
I really appreciate the time's honor to me, got all
the selfish questions out.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Thanks.

Speaker 10 (33:22):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
I really apreciated it.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
I know, Eddie for this segment. What I'm gonna do
is I'll give you the team. Tell me if you
can I identify why they are named that team, For example,
the Buffalo Bills, Like, why in the world would they
call them the Buffalo Bills. This is stuff that I
have not even thought about, because it's been so ingrained
in me certain teams. I've never thought about why they're
actually called that. So you guys can all give me

(33:46):
a version of what you think. You have to give
me an answer, though, as ridiculous as it is. You
have to give me your best answer for what you
think it is. So we have Katie, we have reed,
we have kickoff, Kevin. We're gonna start with the Buffalo Bills.
I'm gonna go to different people first read I'm gonna
go to you Buffalo Bills. Why are they the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Well, first of all, it's in Buffalo, New York.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
But I would think, well, yes, it's always going to
be the city for the most part. Yeah, you got it.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
The Bills, hmmm, maybe they uh let's see if uh
flat bills, flat bill of the hats, Yeah, Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
I was not even thinking that.

Speaker 7 (34:26):
I'm gonna just go out on a whim here I
don't even know if they have planes out there in Buffalo,
New York. But I'm gonna go out the bills like
on the plane, like field planes, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Like a bill, like a bill of a duck, like like.

Speaker 7 (34:36):
A buffalo, sorry, a buffalo out on the planes like
land a buffalo.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
What's a bill though? Like I don't understand that. What's
the bill?

Speaker 12 (34:44):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (34:47):
I'm just like now, I'm just thinking about their local
That's all I'm thinking about.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Buffalo Bill. Bill is the bill come from?

Speaker 7 (34:54):
Bill comes from an old owner named Bill?

Speaker 12 (34:57):
Okay, he kind of took part of my answer. I'm
gonna say that Bill Belichick was an early investor.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Okay. See all of them are wrong about like them.
I need you to have some theory. So the Buffalo
Bills were named after a previous Buffalo team, the Buffalo Bisons,
but after a fan contest, they chose to honor Buffalo
Bill Cody, the famous wild West showman the Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo Bill Cody, Buffalo Bill never ever knew that. Now,
you know, Miami Dolphins, this is okay, Kevin.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
Yeah, the ocean in Miami.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah, reed.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah, man, dolphins.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
They're in Miami. They're near water, so yes, that's probably
why the dolphin was selected. The Miami Dolphins name was
chosen in nineteen sixty five through a contest where people
just submitted thousands of names. But the dolphin makes sense
because of where they are, right.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
They probably had a lot of people submit dolphins.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Dolphins or waves or sands wales, the way the beaches,
the little beaches.

Speaker 7 (35:54):
Fun fact, as a kid, I was a Dolphins fan
for about two or three years because I love dolphins, just.

Speaker 5 (35:59):
Because just because the animal.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
New England Patriots, Katie, I'm gonna have you go first.

Speaker 13 (36:04):
Well, you know New England where it all began.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, I'll get you to name to reflect the region's heritage,
particularly its role in the American Revolution. Okay, Kevin. The
New York Jets.

Speaker 7 (36:19):
New York high dollar, high class private jets. Okay, that's
what I'm thinking. Somebody said, you know what, we're rich
around here. We got private jets with the name.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Of the Jets.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Red.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
Isn't there like a Jets pizza Jets pizza pizza up.
There's fantastic. So I'm gonna say it has something to
do with the owner Jets pizza, Katie.

Speaker 13 (36:41):
Don't they have a lot of airports up there?

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Katie kind of nailed it. So originally they were the
New York Titans. They changed to Jets in nineteen sixty
three to reflect a modern approach because they played near
LaGuardia Airport. I'm giving Katie that that's fair. She's kind
of kind of took it from me, but yeah, no,
private gentleman.

Speaker 7 (37:02):
A little bit, a little bit I started it, got
her brain working, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
It's okay, a FC North, let's go. Baltimore Ravens, Katie.
Baltimore Ravens were the named after.

Speaker 12 (37:15):
You know, I'm thinking like one tree Hill over there
on the East coast, they were the Ravens. And I'm
just thinking, there's a lot of ravens over there on
the East.

Speaker 6 (37:21):
Coast, so just generally a lot of birds. Yeah read Maryland. Man,
it's a state bird.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Okay, great, I don't know if it is, but yeah,
go ahead.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
And he sounded so convincing there.

Speaker 7 (37:31):
The fan was or the owner as a fan of
what's that book with the raven they called raven?

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah, the poem. Yeah, guess that's actually what it is. No,
it's not. Yeah, Named after the famous poem The Raven
by Edgar Allan. They spent the latter part of his
life in Baltimore.

Speaker 7 (37:52):
I thought, I know, I swear to god, I did
not know that, stated as oriole By the ways, why
it's the Baltimore Orioles.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
The Bengals read the Tigers, Man, there's a lot of
tigers out there.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
This one's kind of a lame because it's literally just
an my Bengal tiger. So there's really no reason. They
just thought a Bengal tiger was cool.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
So that one.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
We'll skip over that one. The Cleveland Browns read.

Speaker 6 (38:17):
Oh boy, the Cleveland Browns. Hmmm, I'm gonna say Cleveland, Man,
it's real dry out there. Everything in the grass gets
real brown, you know, in the heat.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Katie Brown football, you know, Oh the football's brown. That's good.
This one is one of the few that I think
I knew. Do you know this one happened? I don't.
You're at your guests, I'm I'm.

Speaker 7 (38:41):
Gonna guess what's their original owner?

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah, you're right, you get the point. You don't have
to get the name. But Yeah, named after their first
coach and co founder, Paul Brown. Yes, the Browns named
after him. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (38:54):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
The Steelers Reed.

Speaker 4 (38:57):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Hm hmm.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
A lot of a lot of mischief going on up.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
There, stealings. That's why I went to read first. Spelled
a bit different. But the Steelers, that's all I got.

Speaker 12 (39:13):
Man.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
I think Kevin will know it. Katie, Oh, I know, okay.

Speaker 13 (39:17):
I think steel factories up there, like they're producing steel.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
I'm gonna get both you guys, because I think Kevin
knew it. Steel City thought everybody was ripping stuff. How
about that. I think the Texans is easy. Literally, once
the Oilers moved to Nashville to Tennessee, they were just like, Okay,
we're Texan, We're that one's easy. The Colts.

Speaker 7 (39:41):
Kevin Baltimore Colts. He liked horses. The original owner.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
I can't can't go there.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
I was gonna say. It probably has to do with
some sort of like horse uh orse racing, that's exactly it.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
So.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Originally located in Baltimore, the team was named for the
city's history of horse racing, Let's go and breeding Jacksonville Jaguars.
This one's interesting. Did not know this and it does
come from a fan submission contest, but there's a specific
reason as to why it won. So Jacksonville Jaguars, Katie.

Speaker 12 (40:25):
They someone important was driving a Jaguar everywhere and they
were like, that's all.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
That and a breed.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
Dang.

Speaker 6 (40:34):
Yeah, I was gonna say maybe like the that was
where the Jags were invented.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Like the Jaguar car.

Speaker 7 (40:40):
Yeah, Okay, that's a good guess, Okay, Kevin, somebody specific.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Yeah, the.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Jacksonville Zoo owned the oldest living jaguar in North America,
and so because the Jacksonville's who had it, somebody submitted
it with that reason and it won, and there's the
alliteration Jacksonville Jaguar. Yeah, the Titans read hmmm.

Speaker 6 (41:07):
I think they just I think it was some kind
of contest and people just wanted something cool and they
made it up.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
You know. They did kind of make it out because
it was the oilers, and they were like, what does
it make sense that Tennessee or Nashville oilers because oil
was in Houston, right, So it was basically, let's just
find a cool name, and Titans are powerful gods and
Greek mythology, so it really is nothing except let's just
find a cool name cool and alliteration.

Speaker 7 (41:30):
What about Nissan Titans. I just thought about that, Nis,
I've never thought about it before. Nissan Stadium, the Titans,
and the Nissan Titan the truck probably absolutely cool, so
weird coincident.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
I've never thought about the coincidence. Yeah, since they have
to pay for the stadium naming rights. Yeah, they're like, yeah,
I don't think that. Probably a coincidence. They never thought
about that, right, all right? The Broncos Kevin.

Speaker 7 (41:59):
Denver is known for having Broncos the trucks.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Oh, okay, I'll take you ile accept it, but not true, Reid.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
I'll say, in.

Speaker 6 (42:09):
Denver, out there and you would be surprised, but there's
a lot of cowboys and a lot of buck and
Bronco Broncos.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Okay, no, but like Katie, maybe.

Speaker 13 (42:20):
That's where OJ was headed before he had to stop
his little race.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Perfect, not at all. But the reason, and I didn't
know this, but the reason was because there were the
Denver Broncos Midwest Baseball team back in the Midwest Baseball
League back in the twenties, and they named him kind
of to pay tribute to that, and they liked the name,
so they kept it going.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
The Chiefs Kansaity Chiefs Reid.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Oh yeah, I mean a lot of a lot of
Indian tribes out there.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
No, and I don't think anyone would get this. They
were Rena So originally they were the Dallas Texans, so
the Texans before the Cowboys. The Dallas Texans were in Dallas.
They moved to Kansas City and they were named after
Mayor H. Rowe Bartle, whose nickname was the Chief. Oh
that is cool, so they called himselves the Chiefs after him.

(43:12):
But then obviously they took a lot of the imagery
from Native Americans. But the Raiders, that's I mean, it's
it's a fan contest, like it's like re thought what
the Steelers were like? Looters, pirates the Chargers?

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
What do you think the Chargers? Why they were named that.

Speaker 7 (43:38):
Lightning bolts San Diego lightning bolts.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
They weren't originally in San Diego. Just for the record,
anyone want to take a shot.

Speaker 7 (43:52):
Of this to guess they were originally somewhere with a
lot of storms and a lot of lighting.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
So they originally were in Los Angeles before they went
to San Diego. Then back to Los Angeles and the
owner Baron Hilton, loved the bugle called to charge a horse,
so they were a charger, not even the lights. The
lights calls came as the imagery of the name, but
the Chargers were just the forward push.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
I was thinking solar panels.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Yeah, no energy. It is now the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 13 (44:20):
That's a tough one, just Texas, you know.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
So the Dallas Steers were scheduled to become the Rangers
until a local baseball team, the Rangers, decided not to
fold before the nineteen sixty season. The name of the
Dallas Steers was quickly changed to the Cowboys before the
beginning of the season, like, well, we'll just go with Cowboys.

Speaker 7 (44:42):
Wow, commanders take notes.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Stuck New York Giants.

Speaker 13 (44:51):
A lot of teams up there. They just want to
be the biggest.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
They want to be the biggest.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
I say, a lot of tall buildings.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Oh that's good. It's actually because the New York Giants
ended up moving to San Francisco and baseball, so they
just changed it to what the baseball team was, the
New York Giants because the New York Giants were the
Giants in baseball as well. They moved the Eagles, you know,
not what I thought. I thought it'd be named after
like America's bald eagles. That's not it. You're not going

(45:19):
to get this. But named after the blue Eagle as
symbol used for the New Deal programs during the Great Depression.
What if one of us said that, Yeah, I thought
you cheated. Yeah, the Commander's Military theme DC. That's new.
Just a couple more here. Chicago Bears. This one's good.

Speaker 12 (45:41):
One time there was a bear that broke loose in
the city and they just aided to name the team
after it.

Speaker 4 (45:45):
Not it, but I like it, Smokey the Bear.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
The Bears were named to complement the Cubs.

Speaker 7 (45:50):
Oh, as I'm looking, I'm looking at your hat, trying
to think of the things right now, and I'm like
looking at it.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
The Bears were named after the Cubs that already existed,
so the Bears came in. Did you just be a version,
like an older version, tougher version of the Cubs?

Speaker 5 (46:03):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
The Detroit Lions Lion Pride.

Speaker 7 (46:09):
They're big on zoos out there and lions and their zoos.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
I think it's just like lions. Think that was only
literally like lions. The Packers's.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Backing.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
Yeah, named after the Indian packing company, a meat packing
company that sponsored the team. Still is that that's crazy
that it's named after a It's a commercial basically for
them back in the day. You paid enough money, you
get to name the team. Minnesota, Minnesota Vikings. They like

(46:44):
Vikings a lot of Scandinavian evenmer you know the horn
de whatever that is that plays. Okay, one more division
maybe to the Falcons that you know that was a
fan contest and they were just like, we like falcons,
they're cool. So some of those who cares. The Panthers

(47:04):
chosen at the time by the owner Jerry Richardson, because
he thought powers were Panthers were strong. That's a boring one.
The Saints, this is a good one. The New Orleans Saints.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
Has something to do with that city.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
Yeah, that's exactly it. When the Saints go marching in,
named after the city's rich Catholic heritage and the jazz
song when the Saints go marching in? Pretty cool? Was
marching on? When the Saints go marching and you thought
it was on?

Speaker 13 (47:30):
Maybe that changes halfway through the song? Are they?

Speaker 3 (47:33):
I don't know that.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
The Bucks Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a name the team contest,
but also other ties of the area include the local
legend of pirate Jose gaspar who honored in the Gasparilla
Pirate Festival, but that was all based in people naming
it because of that. Like man for more of the Cardinals.

(47:56):
They began as the Morgan Athletic Club. They started in
Chicago in eighteen ninety eight. The organization planned to wear
maroon colored jerseys that were borrowed from the University of Chicago,
but the owner of Chris O'Brien deemed them Cardinal red instead,
and so the name stuck with them. So Saint Louis
they went. The Birds they went to Saint Louis. Saint
Louis Cardinals. It was the Cardinal Red, but the Saint
Louis Cardinals, and they put a little cardinal and now

(48:17):
we think of them as the Cardinal Bird. The Cardinal
Bird did not appear until nineteen forty seven, so for
forty eight forty nine years they were known as Saint
Louis Cardinals, but red Cardinals. Wow, it's like the Blues,
but the blues St.

Speaker 5 (48:33):
Lewis Blues.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Yeah, I think the blues. I don't know, is that
music Yeah, is that the color? But did it turn
into the music where they logo?

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Were they originally named after the color?

Speaker 3 (48:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
The Rams the team was from Cleveland. It was named
after the Fordham Rams, a college football team in Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
The forty nine ers named after the prospectors who arrived
during the gold Rush of eighteen forty nine, which Eddie
yealed fools gold about? Yeah, what was that?

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Brock?

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Who do you say that? Pardier? And the Seahawks. It
was named the team contest. It was chosen over other
birds like the seagulls. Oh, thank god. I don't know
there is a real something named a seahawk, like a
real I think it's just a generic name for hawks
on the sea.

Speaker 13 (49:14):
Probably.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Yeah, I don't know there's a like a specific seahawk,
not a real bird, not a real bird.

Speaker 6 (49:21):
It's what you say when, like you see a seagull
and you just see them flying, look at it. Not
real seahawk, be good baseball. I've never said look at
that seahawk. Oh, I'm just man like, you know, you
don't want to say, oh, look at that seagull. You
know it's a it's a seagull. But it's it's you know,
you're at the beach, You're like, look at that seahawk
over there.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Man, I would never say seahawks all right, not at all.

I don't know.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
See I see now we went we uh, we're by
Central Park. That's what kind of what nobody says it.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Nobody yells that. Everyone yells in you or Eddie's just yelling,
acting like it's an accent or something.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Sorry, we just got back. I'm still in that New
York state of mine.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Okay, hey, taxi. We stayed at the Thompson Hotel. Familiar, yes,
I am ok. And then we went to fin Exprest,
which was in the Convention Center.

Speaker 7 (52:03):
Cut covids or cod cod SuDS or something.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Yeah, but you can tell we need nothing.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
We have no idea.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
We went to dinner at a fancy place.

Speaker 8 (52:11):
Okay, you know that's fancy place. Yeah, five Stars.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
That was on Washington Square.

Speaker 8 (52:16):
That was Washington was right, very nice.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
We went to dinner. It was me, my agent, Eddie,
and Rich Eisen, who is also from Long Island.

Speaker 8 (52:27):
Yeah, he's from Staten Island.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Good. I knew it was one of the islands, but
he was rich. And he was like, man, where we're going.
It used to be like local and home and now
it's like a mall. It's like the city. Man's always
a lot changed.

Speaker 12 (52:42):
Kid.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
Yeah, as a kid man.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
What was weird too, is where we were eating dinner.
You can look across the window and like, there's someone's apartment.
They're like making dinner. Yeah, like, oh, you.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Can look in the window. Weird, we were looking the window.

Speaker 8 (52:55):
It's not quite a quite a thing.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
So what are you a jetskuy or Giants guy?

Speaker 8 (52:58):
So I'm a Jet fan?

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Oh yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 14 (53:00):
Yeah, so you guys were talking about Hard Knocks earlier.
I have not watched because last year was the Jets
and uh, you know, as things turned out Week one,
I feel like it was a curse.

Speaker 8 (53:11):
So I can't watch anymore.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Well, the curse would be on the Bears then.

Speaker 8 (53:15):
Right, I think, I don't know watching period.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
If it's just you watching any season of Hard Knocks,
it hurts the Jets. That's a weird thought.

Speaker 8 (53:23):
I mean the Madden cover thing is the thing. I
don't know who's on this year.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
That's Christian mccafffrey, who's already hurt. Oh yeah, yeah, but
McCaffrey has been hurt almost every year except last year.
Anywhere last year And yeah, I know, I know, which
makes me didn't think and I'm listen, I know what
it's like to be a superb athlete, you know, yeah, yeah,
MVP of course, yeah yeah. But it's like it's a
lot more. It's easier to be heard and not as
hard to be heard if you're on the Panthers, let's
be honest, and the forty nine ers, maybe don't rush

(53:50):
it back so fast. When you're playing at Carolina with
San Francisco, you probably push it now. You go a
little harder a little bit. And Jets offensive line much
better than last year.

Speaker 8 (53:58):
Much better.

Speaker 14 (53:59):
Yeah, tyrons Smith from uh ladies Cowboys over here myth
so that should be helpful. So uh yeah, I'm actually
going to the game week two, the Jets are coming
here to Tennessee.

Speaker 8 (54:09):
I'm actually going with Pop.

Speaker 14 (54:10):
So I'm excited when the Jets are playing Monday night
against the forty nine Ers exact actually for Monday Night.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
So I'm just hoping what week one?

Speaker 8 (54:18):
Week one?

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Yeah, that's a long travel game.

Speaker 14 (54:20):
Long travel game, and I'm after what happened last year,
I'm just hoping he can make it at least one week,
So Rozie and play Rogers.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
In the Green in the gang Green Jersey did when
they listened the top one hundred players in the NFL
this year and they were showing like a great play
from them for last year. Did you see Rogers uh
leaving the one play where he just took the flag out.
That's what they used for him for the player like
number ninety or whatever it was. And the one play
they used for him was him running with the flag. Yeah,
that was that was it, which was pretty hilarious Downhill.

(54:49):
What is a Jets fan like? I felt that beca
I'm a Cubs fan and I'm a razorback from that, Yeah,
you can, you can.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
We lose.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
We lose, right, we just generally lose.

Speaker 14 (54:57):
But you had that moment though, You had the moment
World Series moment, and I was saying, like, I haven't
had that moment yet with the Jets.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
He wasn't around.

Speaker 14 (55:06):
My dad was six years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
uh yeah. It's uh, it's been a rough, rough go around.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
But it'd be tough to be a Jets fan. Yeah,
but also I think a positive the Giants also suck.

Speaker 8 (55:18):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
It'd be much harder if the Giants were great.

Speaker 14 (55:22):
Yeah yeah, but you know, it just seems like with
the Giants, like it's gonna happen sometime soon. Like I
feel like they're just better run generally. I mean, maybe
not these last couple of years, but I feel like
they have the opportunity to kind of get there, you
know what, together well.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
And the Giants do have an offensive minor head coach,
where with Solid he's a defense guy in offense leader.

Speaker 8 (55:41):
He's from three hundred. I know, he's uh, you know,
he's not so great.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
So what would be a good season for you this year?
How many wins?

Speaker 14 (55:50):
I mean I would just nine and well, yeah, I
guess now with the you got to go more than yeah, well,
I would love ten plus wins, But I don't know.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Man ten seven and Aaron Rodgers plays, that's floor, right,
I mean they're gonna be. There's two Patriot wins. We'll see.

Speaker 8 (56:10):
I don't know, you guys, you know I brought yeah,
but that's you know, I'm not I don't know.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Two Patriots wins, one Titans win. There's three wins already there.
So nine wins for you, is that's that's a quality year.

Speaker 8 (56:23):
I mean, I guess, yeah, I would be thrilled.

Speaker 14 (56:25):
But the last couple of years, you know, and you know,
we had Donald before this, before the Zach Wilson thing
with Adam Gase.

Speaker 8 (56:32):
I mean, it's.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
Anybody had Gase. Like, that's why I give Sam a chance.
If Adam Gase is your coach in your quarterback, Yeah,
that didn't count. No, that that shouldn't count against you.

Speaker 5 (56:42):
It's like COVID.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Yeah, yeah, like that shouldn't count. And playing for the
Panthers shouldn't count against you. And that's all Sam Donald
has had until he got to go, you know, play
back up there with a good team. Yeah, well, you
know what case we're rooting for you, buddy, I appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (56:57):
You're not You're not gonna win.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
You're not.

Speaker 5 (56:59):
I don't but yeah, we're not gonna win.

Speaker 7 (57:01):
But there's no way I would ever, ever, ever root
for a New York team. But what about a team
that's I'm sorry, casey person.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
What about a team that's been terrible forever and I
don't care it's.

Speaker 8 (57:14):
Twenty ten, that's yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
Then why don't we find joined Kevin's miserable season this year?
Let's let's make it make a commitment to each other.
We're gonna find tons of join Kevin's misery. That's gonna
be the Patriots.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (57:26):
But I'm expecting it like I'm ready for it.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
You also had the greatest run I know except for
the bulls and industry of sports. I know.

Speaker 5 (57:35):
I'm still living.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
We're gonna really have fun with your misery this year. Okay,
we're gonna do Kevin's meant in a misery all NFL Sea,
So you're gonna deserve it, yes, and we're really gonna
lay it on here.

can basically play PS five from your phone. Now that's amazing.
I haven't set it up yet, but I have another
friend that does it and so and you can play
that from anywhere. Well, your phone? What do you have
to download an app? The app's called backbone is what
