Paulie & Tony Fusco react to Fernando Mendoza's BONEHEAD move which has already ruined his career and will send him SINKING in the NFL Draft (although the Raiders will still probably be foolish enough to pick him). Also, they explain why MLB's foolish ABS system just totally screwed Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes and how it's ruined baseball forever. Plus, they show you the REAL SPORTS NEWS that you can only see on Facebook (and this show) and some very scary news surrounding former Eagles QB Donovan McNabb.

Fullsto show, Yo yo yo, as always Polly Fool's go

don't need to say this to you, but I need
to say it through these non ex but morons out

(00:25):
there will think they know sports people coming up to
us on the street and saying, hey, why you're doing
a show this week? There's nothing going on, nothing going on,
nothing going on in your brain? There's a brain, yeah, yeah,
I mean there's so much breaking those right now. I mean,
you know, Tony, what does everyone say the most important
sports week of the year is late February.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Everybody knows that. Everybody knows that.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
They would just show you we got, uh, Fernando Mendoza
making a decision that will send shock waves through the
entire NFL and potentially ruined is career.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
But apparently that's not employee of course.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
And also all of baseball being ruined right before your eyes.
Literally apparently you'll think there's nothing going on exactly. Well,
and one more thing, Tony, because you know, I see
what happens is that big media, you know, they hide
the real stories. Well, luckily there is one source out
there who is giving us the real truth, the real dope,
and of course that's Facebook. So we're going to bring

(01:26):
back our segment this week in Facebook News. Well, we'll
show you the real news that big media is hiding from.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
They're always hiding because it doesn't This may come is
news to you people, but you don't just sit and
watch the show.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
As we've told you many times, this isn't for your entertaining.
This is interact exactly. You'll get the work. You hit
like you hit, subscribe, your comment, your rate and review
on five stars. You know, it's just the problem with
the people these days, don't They're lazy, They just want
to sick. They think this is all for them. Yo,
I don't want to do anything.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
All right.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
On that note, let's get right into these huge stories,
our biggest one, our.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Top story story.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Alright. First out the gate Doty, a story that clearly
all these income.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Poops missed, absolutely huge news.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Fernando Mendoza, Indiana quarterback right projected double one pick, has
decided not to throw at the NFL combine.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, this is surely a move.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
That's going to send them tumbling down the draft boards,
isn't it done?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's sure?

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Well, I mean, what do people say is the most
important month in all of football?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
February, of course, And.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
That's clearly because they're talking about the NFL combine. Well,
sure we've seen Fernando Mendoza play in September and October
and even January, but never February. No, so how are
we supposed to know if he's good in February?

Speaker 1 (02:56):
We can't just great football analysis that doty. You know,
as I've always said, the measure of a quarterback is
not can you hit a receiver with the Super Bowl
on the line?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
No, can you throw a football to a.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Garbage can fifty yards away on a random Tuesday morning
in Indianapolis.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
You know that's all that matters. You know, that's all
that matters.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
It's just like I've always said, too, the measure of
any football player is not can you take a hit
from a three hundred pound linebacker and get back up again?
It's how swiftly can you run around five strategically placed
mini traffic cones?

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
And you know people out there there saying, well, Caleb
Williams didn't throw out the combine and he's gone on
to have a successful career.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
But these people don't get it, do they don't, No,
not at all.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
NFL scouts didn't need to see Caleb Williams in the
combine because they already heard he liked handling big balls,
you know, and by that I mean the NFL regulation balls,
which are bigger than the college footballs of courtly, yeah,
you know, it didn't bother Caleb Williams that the balls
were an extra inch longer and more girthy, because he

(04:11):
liked that more. And again I'm talking about the footballs
you know, clearly, of course. Yeah, and I heard they
didn't need to see Caleb make passes to the guys
on the field because they saw him making passes at
guys near the bar and the hotel lobby.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
You know.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
And by that, clearly, I mean throwing the football to
guys you know, at the hotel lobby, of course.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
But a great inside reporting that, don'ty. But hold on,
this just came across. Say your people, you say, there's
nothing happening. We got breaking Hit that sound up, hit it,
it'll move. That will send shockwaves through the NFL if
it passes. According to reports, the NFL Competition Committee is

(04:57):
mulling whether to allow replay a FI in New York
to call.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Penalties on players.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Even though those officials are not at the game. Tony,
your thoughts here, Well, my first question here in this
news is how are they going to throw the flags
all the way to the stadium from New York?

Speaker 3 (05:19):
You know, like, let's say the games in Seattle. Can
they throw a flag thirty thousand miles?

Speaker 5 (05:25):
No?

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I mean, or even if they could send that flag
on a plane or something. By the time the plane
departs and flies there and drops the flag down into
the stadium, the game's going to be over.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
You know, they're just clearly not thinking this through. No,
they're clearly not thinking this through. You know, Tony, you
said something.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I think you're onto something here, because I've always maintained
that the people who have the worst view of the
game are the refs.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
No question, they're the smallest people on the field.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
How are they a little squirt like that supposed to
see over a three hundred pound lineman.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
You can't, you know, they can't.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
That's why I've always said the best person to make calls.
Isn't the referee, it's the good Year Blimp operata. He's
the one with the best view of the game. He's
looking down from above with a three hundred and sixty
degree view. In fact, when you think about it, we
should put all the refs in the Goodyear Blimp. That

(06:23):
way they can see everything on the field, make the
calls and not have to worry about getting attacked, you know, unless,
of course, you know, somebody brings a bazooka to the game,
which I've only seen happen twice, but you know, very rare.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yes, very rare.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I've only seen it personally six seven times, you know, exactly.
Hold on, Dony, hold on. This just came across though.
I told you people this it's none. Can't even keep up,
it's none.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Sound up.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
We got more breaking officiating those Hey, you know how
baseball's using this new ABS system to go balls and strikes?
This just cy young winner Paul Skins just lost four pitchers.
The challenges in the new system which override the umpire's
calls just to get them quote unquote correct and well, Doughty,

(07:14):
it's clear this new emphasis on accuracy is just ruining
baseball isn't.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
It one hundred percent?

Speaker 3 (07:21):
The whole excitement of sports is what not knowing what's
gonna gonna happen next. Of course, you know, up until now,
if a pitcher threw the ball directly in the middle
of the strike zone, you didn't know if it was
gonna be called a strike or not.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
And now all the suspense is gone. Yeah, they killed it,
you know.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
You know the best part about baseball was that each
umpire got.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
To make their own strike, own strike zone exactly.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I always thought other sports should copy this idea.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
It's so good, you know, said in baseball.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
If umpires can have different size strike zones, then shouldn't
NFL refs have different sized end zones?

Speaker 6 (08:01):
One?

Speaker 1 (08:02):
I just imagine how exciting that be. You know, Jay,
when hurts, he throws the ball right. Aj Brown catches
it at the three yard line right and he gets
tackled there.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
But wait, the ref calls it.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Touchdown because he has a wide end zone.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
That would be must Saint Dave a Tony, you know.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Or maybe if a kicker misses it and it goes
five yards wide right, but then the ref says the
kick is good because the ref has a wide field game.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Would It would be amazing, you know, and this could
work in the NBA two.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Imagine in the NBA Tony.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Lebron James shoots a three pointer, right, and because he's
so terrible, he banks it off the backboard brick, but
somehow it goes in. Well, the ref could step in
and rule it not a basket because he has a
narrow hoop zone.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
You know how much better would that be? Exactly?

Speaker 3 (08:55):
And you know what, this is exactly why I stopped
watching tennis. You know, now they got that hawk vision
and now everyone knows when the ball is out it's
going to be called out.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
What's the excitement in that? None?

Speaker 1 (09:11):
None, you know, if you'll think about it, Dony, if
they had that the stupid hawk vision back in the
nineteen seventies nineteen eighties, then we wouldn't know the names
of a lot of famous players, like you know, John
McEnroe and exactly the other guy he used to play,
what's the name the you.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Know they used to play guy he pumped his fist
unopron guy.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, John Conna, right, John Conna. And then
there was you know the other guy that he used
to play, you know who the one with the blonde
hair and the headband you know, yeah, uh yeah, the
uh beyond becka beyond Becker.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
They yeah, those names would would be totally unknown.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
If exactly if this talk vision you know, was there, Tony,
I'm getting distracted. There's so much news coming across by
screen right now. We got more that sounder, Get that sounder, Tony.
When you'll see this news, you're gonna be thinking what
I'm thinking. I mean, this is gonna throw a wrench
to the whole NFL season. The Minnesota Vikings executive vice

(10:26):
president of football Operations, Rob Brazinski, he just came out
and said that Dame is quote exploring all options at quarterback. Wow, well, Donty,
you gotta be thinking what I'm thinking here, don't you.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Of Course, you know, every team needs a proven Super
Bowl winner at quarterback, and that's why if I'm the Vikings,
I'm taking a good long look.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
At Sam Donald.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Of course, you know, not only is he a Super
Bowl champion, but many people may not remember this. He
actually played in an entire season for the Vikings just
a year ago, and many people may not remember this,
eva but he led them to a fourteen and three record.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
So he's really the perfect fit.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
But if they can't get Donald for whatever reason, then
I'm taking a long look at another Super Bowl winner,
Carson No brainer.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
He won a.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Super Bowl, as clearly shown on his Wikipedia page under
his photo on the right hand side when you just
scrolled down a little bit. And also many people may
not remember this eva, but he also played for the
Vikings just a few months ago. So there you go,
two great options right there, super Bowl winners for the Vikings.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Just perfect analysis once again, Dowdy, and thank you.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
You're not gonna believe this, Dowdy, don't tell me there's
more news, more breaking.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Those white get that sounder hit it in a move
that will certainly have major playoff implications.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
This just end.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Sources say Kyler Murray has not talked to the Cardinals,
even though the teams GM said he did.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Well.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
This is bound to have a huge ripple effect through
the entire NFL, isn't that right?

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Downy?

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Of course, this is gonna have enormous playoff implications because
the Cardinals will once again ensure that three NFC West
teams get into the playoffs. Yep, you know when people
say Kyler Murray hasn't had a playoff win.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I say, what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (12:42):
He led the Seahawks to the number one seed and
the super Bowl this year. So full credit to Kyler
Murray and the Arizona Cardinals organization.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Just so well said that. Don'ty yet, you know, people,
there's just so much more news popping up. We haven't
even dug into it yet. You know, I wait, you'll
see what's going on my Facebook feed.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Of course. Yeah, we're gonna get in all that news.
The real news. Yep.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Uh, that the media is not covering up exactly. The
cover up is over all right, we'll be right back
right after this break.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
All right, we're back for break. You know. One of
the things we take a lot of pride in on
this show is that we are not affiliated with any
sort of you know, big media company.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
No.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, I mean yeah, Fox Sports.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
But that's that's what But that's that big media that's
not anyway. So but us, you know, we we we
give That's why we give you the stories that the
big media is afraid to tell you up they're avoiding.
And well, you know, we got to tip our cap
because we're not the only ones doing this. There is
there is a platform out there full of bold people

(13:50):
willing to give you the stories that are clearly true
and being hidden by the media. And that black form
is Facebook Face. So right now is a public service.
We're gonna show you some of the news that's only
available on that platform and show you the real news.
It's called this week in Facebook News.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
This week Facebook News.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Okay, this first story we're gonna show you. Put this up.
It's uh, there's something very weird going on in Kansas
City right now. This is Travis kelce in a hospital bed.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Uh, this is according to Kansas City chiefs talk, very
reputable chief I was.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Nobody talking about this. Yeah, I don't know it.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
And you know, I searched the internet to see why
Travis Kelcey's in the hospital, but they had it on
this It's.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Only on this and this other site. Show.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
The only other site reporting this, it's echobeats dot org.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
I guess that's the only brave enough solute to you
for your brave reporting.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, so you think they tell you why Travis Kelcey
was in the hospital, Well he's not the only one.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Look at this.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Doughty Patrick Mahomes also in the same hospital. Strangely in
the same hospital bed with the same chiefs blanket. So
that so clearly, if you're putting it together like we are,
Travis Kelcey and Patrick Mahomes went to the same hospital
for something going on in Kansas City.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
The connection here is going on. What did he come?
It gets even more strange. Toady discussed also in the hospital.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Andy Reid, oh my in bed holding up a cardboard
sign that says, I'm battling cancer.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Pray to God for me. Now, I, like you, was
terrified here that we haven't even know what to say.
I'm stunndy Reid, you know, even though we hate him now.
But but then.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Luckily a couple of days later, look that there's a post.
There's Andy Reid giving a thumbs up. Clear you know,
people said this is not him, that it looks nothing
like him. Clearly, maybe he had some facial reconstructing surgery
while they were getting rid of the cancer. So at
least it's all better there. But where why wasn't the
news Oh well, oh, here he is. If it is

(16:08):
the piece for the marestream media, what what are you
gonna tell us? This is all fame?

Speaker 7 (16:13):
You can't, yes, you can't tell that's AI. Again, I
can tell that you're a you're AI. See you were
built in a lab exactly. I'm sure you're pot cyborg exactly.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
It would be in all of the news if anyone.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Media is not covering it. It doesn't even I can
stand the show, Tony, I've told you that.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Just shut up. Here's we're gonna go to this next one.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
You know, there's so much hate for Jalen Hurts in
the biased media right covered up a story.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
I couldn't believe they didn't report this. Look at this.
Don't he put this up?

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Jalen Hurts and his wife donated six hundred and sixty
seven thousand dollars to schools to erase school lunch debt
across one hundred and three school Are you talking about
that good.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
On the meeting? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 4 (17:08):
What?

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Look at you? Look at him again?

Speaker 5 (17:10):
What can you not see? They're doing this for clicks.
They're just trying to get engagement.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, you're trying to get engagement to a woman, which
is never going to happen. Yeah, what are you talking
about that engagement? You've never even been on a date,
let alone how a woman say yes? To you about anything.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Who would get engaged to him?

Speaker 5 (17:28):
Why what, I'll show you the other stories. They used
the same thing, and they used all the other NFL quarterbacks.
See look, Dak Prescott and his wife quietly erased seven
hundred and six thousand dollars in school lunch debt.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Well that's fake, Yeah, that one's not really.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
How about this one on another site, Lamar Jackson and
his mother quietly erased.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
They just copy and copy, and Jaws copies his style
of play and his style of erasing school lunch debt.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
And we all know that.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
Justin Herbert one million dollars.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Because he's trying to outdo he's trying to give Ja.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
He gave a million dollars because he's trying to outdo Jalen.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
He can't do it on a field, so he's trying
to do it, you know, school lunch. And with school lunch,
clearly USA, he's ruined. In a second, let me move on, Tony,
because there was something that was so horrible that I
have to bring up. And I don't want, I don't
want to bring us all down on a down note.
But I could not believe the entire news media did
not report this Donovan McNabb died.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
What I've been so upset. I'm trying to hold it
together through the whole show I'm supposed to finish the show.
Were searching and through all the Google tnc no mention whatsoever.
And it's just such an insight to mister McNabb that
they didn't tell us.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Why is nobody talking about this? Stop? Stop? How do
you process?

Speaker 8 (18:54):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (18:54):
We're grieving and here you are making us even sadder. Stop.

Speaker 5 (19:00):

Speaker 5 (20:28):
You actually think. Fernando Mendoza will fall in the draft
because he didn't throw in the combine.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, bro, learn football, Broye. There are a billion good
quarterbacks who didn't throw in the combine. Caleb Williams didn't
throw in the combine. He seems to be doing just fine.

Boris Becker and made the one person. And instead of

from the Terminator movies.
