Speaker 1 (00:00):

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Let's go roll, Lee and Drow All right, a rock
go your Live from Philly. It's the number one rated

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Shop as always Polly Fools go hey with Tony Foolsco.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And Tony Yo.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
You know people out there that have been coming up
to us badgering us, you know, asking why there have
been those shows you see people, Yeah, as you well
know you know, yeah, we.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Were on a six week vacation.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, because you know, when you're as established in this
business as we are, you can do that. Yeah, unlike
you know, these lemons like Stephen a coward, right.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
They can't take any time.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
They got to keep busting their ass to stay topical. Yeah,
it's pathetic. Besides, what did we miss, Donny, Nothing? Nothing,
check the squat. You know, if you've been out there
waiting to hear our take on sports knows, well, then
sorry that you wasted your life.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah that's on you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Anyway, the weight's over, so congratulations. Anyway, We've got a
huge show today, as you do. James Harden totally step
in on it. Michael oher adoption controversy, And unfortunately we
have a guest returning to the show who's last appearance
was so embarrassing and so terrible that, you know, we're
(01:28):
surprised he's even showing his face on here again, well
or anywhere.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
He hasn't shown it yet, so we'll see the jury
still say if he shows up.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Anyway, he's a three time super Bowl champion. Although as
an offensive lineman, you know, yeah, it doesn't that impressive
Ulster risk anyway, our Mark Schlereth. Yeah, but you know
what is impressive doing home maintenance without any help. And
that's why it's time for a message from our good
friends at Home Depot. Is your house in total disarrayed
(02:00):
due to poor construction or your own laziness, go to
home Depot for all your fixer upper needs, right, Tony.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
In fact, the other day I ran into my aunt
Marie's boyfriend Nuncio and asked where he was going. He
said he was going to my aunt's house to deliver
some wood, and I said, oh, did you get that
wood at home Depot? And then he said no, I
woke up with it, and oh you know what, let's
(02:29):
just move along.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, we'll talk about that story after this show.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Tony. Anyway, go to home depot dot com, enter the
promo code FUSCO and get point oh two percent off
your first order of ten thousand dollars or more off
and not valid in forty nine states.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Check your local listings. Oh right, well another check on them. Man,
there we go.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now that we got that business out of the way,
your weight is over people.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's time to get into our top story story. Yet
another huge two million for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. In
a recent interview, Texas Governor Greg Abbott threw down the
hammer on Dak and sat still needs to quote show
he can win a big game.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yep does When you break it down, this.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Is the worst thing that can happen to a player.
I mean, you know, it's bad enough to get called
out by the head coach of your team, but this
is the head coach of your state.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Isn't that right? Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You know, if there's one person I look to when
deciding how a football team's doing, it's the governor. Governors
are leaders, and they can spot none leaders better than anyone.
Don't be surprised if there's government intervention here at some
point and Governor Abbot passes an executive order that removes
(03:51):
Dak Prescott from his position as starting quarterback and you know,
possibly imprisons him.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Just incredible legal analogs that, Dony. And now throw another
story out of the NFL. Anthony Richardson, rookie out of Florida,
has just been named the Week one starting quarterback for
the Indianapolis Colts. And this is many people out there
saying that at twenty one years of age, he is
too young to start for an NFL team, And these
(04:20):
people are absolutely correct. This is the absolutely wrong approach
for a young quarterback, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
You know, it's borderline in humane. We all know you
can't put a rookie in that situation. See, it was
so much better back in the old days when teams
used to wait six or seven years before starting a
rookie quarterback. And by then the rookie became a veteran
and what you need is veteran experience.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Great point, Tony. And you know you look at a
quarterback like John Elway. You know he was ratings in
a quarterback in his eighteenth or nineteenth season, but absolute
garbage before that show he's show it exactly. You know,
you gotta think that it would have been a better
approach to bench him for the first you know, twelve
(05:12):
or thirteen years there, ye, bring him in when he's
got that, as you said, veteran experience.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yup, yup.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
The Broncos would have been better off sticking with Steve
de Bergh.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And now to a big story out of the NBA,
huge drama out of Philly. In a video making the
rounds on social media, James Harden called Sixer's president quote
a liar and said he'll quote never be part of
an organization that Darryl Moury is a part of. And Donny,
(05:45):
when you break this quote down, this is extremely short
sighted by James Harden.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Isn't it extremely short sighted? You know, James Harden says
he'll never be a part of any organization that Daryl
Moury is a part of. Okay, But isn't the NBA
an organization? And what if Daryl Morey joins a charity
like Jerry's Kids or something, what you're not gonna give
to the kids?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And what about Triple A?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
What happens if James Harden's battery's dead and he's on
the side of the highway.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Who's gonna help him? Then? You know?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I mean, anyways, I'm gonna be watching James Harden very
carefully to see if he's a man of his word.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So absolutely well said that, Tony, And now moving to
a stunning story out of Hollywood football player Michael Oher,
whose life story became the basis for the terrific and
totally compelling Oscar winning movie The blind Side, is now
claiming he was never adopted by the Duohee family anyway. Frankly,
(06:49):
I'm confused over the uproar over this. You know, so
what if he wasn't adopted, it made for a better story.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
You know, this is Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, yeah, they're changing stories all the time. That's what
they liberties, that's what you're true. You know what happened
in reality, Well, that only ruins the story.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
If there's anyone who deserves to be shamed here, it's
Michael Oher one hundred trying to ruin such a terrific,
hotfelt and totally compelling and realistic movie.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Right, Tony, you know, we can settle this right here.
And now Michael Oher says he's not adopted. But the
tuoe say it's a conversationship. Didn't the movie teach us
that we've got to get past our differences, Just as
the movie said, we need to see past differences like
adopted versus conservationship. What's most important is family, whether the
(07:42):
legal documents say you're related, and whether you're old, enormous
sums of money or not.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So beautifully said Tony. And you know, just quick back
to what we set up top. You know, people out there,
they've been bitching and moaning because we took a six
week vacation.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah it arrest already. We took arrest. You'll give it
arrest exactly. You know, you're just jealous. You're jealous because
you all it is next week, all it is.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
We didn't miss Jack Squad. Yeah, nothing was going on.
Nothing was going on. And to prove it, we're just
gonna go over some of the headlines for me in
the past couple of days. You know, nothing's going on here,
So just to prove it, these are actual headlines from
the front page of ESPN dot com. And to prove
our pointed, I'm going to read them to Tony and
I'm going to see if he actually cares about these.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Headlines or not. It's a segment we call do you
give a fuck?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Okay, first headline, Tony NBA spotlights Wemby in group play
for tourney.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Do you give a fuck? Hmm, I'm going to tourney
to another article.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
No okay, raise McLanahan to have Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Do you give a fuck?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
The ESPN homepage should have surgery to work? Move this article.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
No okay, seize pauzingis to skip World Cup due to
foot issue.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I'm going to skip this article due to boring issue.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
No okay, Red Wings acquire oft traded defenseman Petree.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I am Petrie fied of reading this article.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
No oh, no, Tony, I see our guests coming on
the line and we're up against it that time.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Wise, all right, let's let him in.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, we don't want to waste that time with more
than useless headlines. Anyway, let's just bring him on the
full SCO satellite.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Network FU satellite in the world.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
This guy, he's a three time Super Bowl champion, but
as we said, as an offensive lineman, so you know,
it doesn't really count.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It doesn't kind of skill position.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
But anyway, look, he's kind of become a big deal
in sports media, you know, not as big as us,
but you know he's and he's trying. You know, he's
got the Stinking Truth podcast. He also calls games for Fox,
you know, does a bunch of other shows. Anyway, enough promo,
let's just bring them on here. Mark Schlereth, Welcome to
the show.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Thank you man. It's always going to be with you guys.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You guys are one of my favorite podcasts as far
as you know, so it's.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Always straight to be on.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Okay, well, we'll see how you feel after this, all right. Anyway,
last time you came on the show, as everyone out
there remembers, you know, it was close to the middle
of the season last year. The Eagles were a blistering
seven and oh everyone thought this team was on their
way to the super Bowl except you. You him on
the show, and they used they couldn't put four quarters together,
(10:41):
and you wanted to see improvement on a seven and
o team.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Then they went all the way to.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
The Super Bowl, which of course was rigged, so they
OpEd that but you know, and that's still been another story,
another story. Anyway, that was such an embarrassment for you,
So that leads to this question, why haven't you retired
from sports analysis?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
What are you even doing here?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, well, it turns out that, uh turns out that
that Super Bowl into that whole four quarters together thing
turned out to be real, Like.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Are you killing me? They regress?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That was real. That was the only thing that was real.
The slippery grass. Grass was slippery.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
How come the Chiefs weren't slipping on the grass? They
have magic shoes on? Or did they have magic shoes? Well,
that's why it was so suspicious.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
There was clearly some conspiracy going on between the Chiefs, the.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Ground screw exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, we went into it in a previous episode. We
don't need to get into it here. Yeah, all right,
do you just admit you were wrong? He's having trouble
admitting that he's wrong. Is that what's going on here?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I would like to say that I was completely right
about the Eagles, and it came back to the bottom of
the back end.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And it took us they caught. Well, yeah, well, we're.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Gonna shut you out the tokus of this show if
you keep giving.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Takes like that.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, yeah, okay, anyway, look, let's us move on here.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Talk about another embarrassment.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You see this, Mark, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott just got
the ultimate humiliation, you know, bad to get called out
by a head coach. He got called out by Texas
Governor Greg Abbott, who said he still needs to prove
that he can win a big game. Let me ask you, Mark,
if Dak continues to lose, do you think the governor
(12:33):
here should look into passing some legislation that removes Dak
as quarterback of the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
How about removing the Cowboys and make him like playing
a lower league or something exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
This is a good analysis. Yeah, now you're getting it,
Keep going right.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Yeah, there are very few things that I hate more
than the Cowboys. I hate the Cowboys with the white
hot intensity of a thousand sons. So yeah, I think
I think the governor's spot on right there. Let's remove
Hey while we're out, and let's remove Jerry. Let's remove
a couple other people as well.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yep, get him out. This is terrific.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
This is analysis we've ever heard from the politics.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
This is political analysis. You'd get my today, right, thank you.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
It's kind of like what happened in Washington, right, Scrub
that organization from that turd and put somebody else in there.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, absolutely cute because you you did play in Washington,
Yeah you did. Were you worried here with all the
politicians there when you had a game that you know
Bill Clinton was going to call you out and tell
you how to get off the team.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
No, because, uh, you know, we were busy, you know,
winning super Bowls and things of that nature. So we
had you know, we had enough of we had enough
of a cushion because of success.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Well, we didn't go to mean the other people on
your team because you know, you were the offensive lineman with.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Skilled position guys.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because yeah, it was because our
skill position players didn't get to the Super Bowl and lose.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
They got the Super Bowl, they won. This guy's so yeah,
you kids.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You know the only thing we lost is our balance
on that slippery turf.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, wet, brash, enough out of you, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So look, let's talk about another headline here. Anthony Richardson
rookie out of Florida. Right, he's starting for the Colts. Now,
some people say he's too young at the age of
twenty one to be starting for an NFL team, And
we couldn't agree more. And you know, if you want
to see why, Look no further than your ex Broncos
teammate John Elway talk about losing super Bowls.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I mean, this guy until year seventeen.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Don't you think it would have been better looking back
if Elway had been benched for you know, maybe the
first twelve or thirteen years of his career, you know, yeah,
let him develop more.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that that's a strategy for sure.
That's a decent strategy. And he wasn't great as you
know as a young player. I took him about a
year year and a half to get really.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Good kind of a team maybe well kind of like
you're like, yeah, your guy hurts who I mean year
over year and I will I have to say, man,
year over year.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
That dude, he played great last year. That was that
was That was fun to watch. I could stop him
except the refs, but okay, good. Yeah yeah, so I
like that.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
So you know, sometimes you just got to play a
little bit to kind of figure it out, and then
once you get you know, a great offensive line around you,
then you can win super Bowls instead of you going
and getting beat Can.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I just say the only thing bigger than you, Mack
is your ego. Yes, that's the only thing biga Okay, good.
Jalen Hurts is the exception.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
John el White didn't win a championship till he was
like thirty eight. Jalen Hurts already won a national championship
when he was like twenty twenty one. So there's a
difference there.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah. Yeah, when Tua came in for him, right, that's
when you want to.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Know, Oh yeah, yeah, we're gonna take you to a
river and drown you there. All right, listen, but hold
on bank to something here, you know, when you when
you were with the Broncos in ninety five, as you
may remember, Yeah, for every the team went eight and eight. Yeah,
couldn't you tell that John Elway just wasn't ready. He
needed you know, maybe six more years of experience.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, uh no, that wasn't That wasn't
the case. That was now John was Homer. John was okay, John, Yeah,
John was John was just fine. We were gonna be okay.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
We were. Yeah, you can always tell.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
And I think it's, you know, to be fair to
you guys, I think you've probably really noticed, you know,
year over year, Nick Sirianni's first year over second year,
how much just overall improvement from a coaching standpoint and
from a you know, and from a playing stampoint.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We talked about Jalen Hurts. Yeah, that's not analysis, that's fact.
Everyone knows that.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
You're trying to say, yeah, that that year over year,
But it was big. I think Nick Sirianni was big.
Like you want to talk about ego, like you make
fun of my ego. How about walking away from play
calling and letting your your offense corner actually call the
plays so you can focus more on the coaching. Like
I got to give him a lot of props for
(17:26):
what he did over the course of his first two seasons.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
That's how you do it. That's how you win. That's
how you win.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
You delegate, you get other people to help you, just
like you got other people to help you win Super Bowls.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's what you did, which was very frank.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Anyway, Look, you know, we just want to catch up
on something because, as you know, we took a six
week vacation. We just coming back because we know when
you're established in this business like we are, you can
do that.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Unfortunately, you can still working your way up. But now,
correct me. If I got this wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
We saw you made some headlines, right you were talking
about Russell Wilson and I'm paraphrasing here, but you called
them something like an overrated has been talentless who can't
throw football, something like.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
That, right, yeah, yeah, something very similar to that. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah yeah. Okay said so, yeah, what was the
question that wasn't a question we just wanted to hear
if you will still believe.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
That, yeah, that he sucks? Yeah yeah, well last year
he was awful. Yeah, but you know, I will say this,
I will say this. I think there were a lot
of things that went on last year in Denver that
that led to him being horrible. And part of that
(18:42):
is understanding what you are what you're not, and you know,
a lot of that goes on Russell, A lot of
that goes on the coaching staff. I think Russell will
have a bounce back year this year, but I think
we all that that's not what.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
We are, you know, inside info.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, you clearly don't hate.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
You know why the Broncos brought in shot Sean Payton,
don't you because he likes to put bounties on quarterbacks.
So what we already's gonna do is he's going to
put a bounty on his own quarterback.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That's right, He's gonna really let you.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
He's gonna let want to tell one of the offensive
linemen you know doing ola, Let Russell Wilson get injured,
knock him out of the league, get out of that
shitty contract.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Don't you think that's a smart strategy. Didn't you hear
that one?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I have not heard that one. But I will say this.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I've been in camp a couple of times, and uh,
I'm watching the way they're playing up front, and you
might be onto something because they haven't been very good upfront.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You think maybe there's a conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But let me ask you this, how much do you
think the bounty is on Russell Wilson right now to
have him engined?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I don't. I don't think he has a bounty. No,
I'm not going to go. I don't believe. I don't
believe there's a bounty there.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You know what you're telling us, Our sources are in
as good as yours because you're a guest bronco quote unquote, well,
guess what We're gonna put a bounty bounty on you
is free?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Guess what the show again. You see yourself. You're up
the show.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Thinking this shows and whoever helped you win us?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Is he off the line? Jay, hang up the phone.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You know, I still don't know how that guy calls
himself an NFL analyst moron.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah, he totally missed the mark in that interview.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Great one, Dony anyway, and great way to bring it
all around, because other than that, it was a terrific show.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Thank good friends at home depot, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh no, you're hitting me steal the mark.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Listen, I didn't miss it while we were on vacation opportunity,
said Doucy J.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
What do you want corrections? What hurry up? You said?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
The family from the blind Side is the twuoe family.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, bro, look it up. That's their names, bro. Yeah, no,
it's Tooey, not to Oh. Oh yeah, well I can't wait.
Doie throw you off a bridge? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Your blind side is where I'm gonna throw my hatchet.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah. He's done. That's it, let's go no more.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
What no you said? John Elway should have been benched
for the first twelve years of his career.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, took him forever to win Super Bowls. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
He was the MVP of the entire league in his
fourth season, so benching him probably would have been a
bad idea.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Oh yeah, well, you know what's also a bad idea
every time you speak?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, you know what was an even worse idea, your parents'
first date.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeay, you one. Let's get out of it here, we're finished.
What Harry us?
Speaker 6 (22:04):
You said you don't care that Tampa Bay Rays picture
Sea McClanahan is on the disabled list and likely out
for the season.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
No, don't care at all, and nobody cares. Bro.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Yeah, you do realize the Rays are close to being
at the top of the Al East.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Oh yeah, well you're gonna be at the bottom of
the East River.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, we're gonna put you on the disabled list for eternity.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yay, you are done. Great, great way to welcome us
back from our vocation.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Just got an email book next week on the show
super Bowl Hero Eagles legend Nick Foles.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
And Tony Yo.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
You know people out there that have been coming up
to us badgering us, you know, asking why there have
been those shows you see people, Yeah, as you well
know you know, yeah, we.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Were on a six week vacation.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, because you know, when you're as established in this
business as we are, you can do that. Yeah, unlike
you know, these lemons like Stephen a coward, right.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
They can't take any time.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
They got to keep busting their ass to stay topical. Yeah,
it's pathetic. Besides, what did we miss, Donny, Nothing? Nothing,
check the squat. You know, if you've been out there
waiting to hear our take on sports knows, well, then
sorry that you wasted your life.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah that's on you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Anyway, the weight's over, so congratulations. Anyway, We've got a
huge show today, as you do. James Harden totally step
in on it. Michael oher adoption controversy, And unfortunately we
have a guest returning to the show who's last appearance
was so embarrassing and so terrible that, you know, we're
(01:28):
surprised he's even showing his face on here again, well
or anywhere.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
He hasn't shown it yet, so we'll see the jury
still say if he shows up.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Anyway, he's a three time super Bowl champion. Although as
an offensive lineman, you know, yeah, it doesn't that impressive
Ulster risk anyway, our Mark Schlereth. Yeah, but you know
what is impressive doing home maintenance without any help. And
that's why it's time for a message from our good
friends at Home Depot. Is your house in total disarrayed
(02:00):
due to poor construction or your own laziness, go to
home Depot for all your fixer upper needs, right, Tony.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
In fact, the other day I ran into my aunt
Marie's boyfriend Nuncio and asked where he was going. He
said he was going to my aunt's house to deliver
some wood, and I said, oh, did you get that
wood at home Depot? And then he said no, I
woke up with it, and oh you know what, let's
(02:29):
just move along.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, we'll talk about that story after this show.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Tony. Anyway, go to home depot dot com, enter the
promo code FUSCO and get point oh two percent off
your first order of ten thousand dollars or more off
and not valid in forty nine states.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Check your local listings. Oh right, well another check on them. Man,
there we go.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now that we got that business out of the way,
your weight is over people.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's time to get into our top story story. Yet
another huge two million for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. In
a recent interview, Texas Governor Greg Abbott threw down the
hammer on Dak and sat still needs to quote show
he can win a big game.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yep does When you break it down, this.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Is the worst thing that can happen to a player.
I mean, you know, it's bad enough to get called
out by the head coach of your team, but this
is the head coach of your state.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Isn't that right? Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You know, if there's one person I look to when
deciding how a football team's doing, it's the governor. Governors
are leaders, and they can spot none leaders better than anyone.
Don't be surprised if there's government intervention here at some
point and Governor Abbot passes an executive order that removes
(03:51):
Dak Prescott from his position as starting quarterback and you know,
possibly imprisons him.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Just incredible legal analogs that, Dony. And now throw another
story out of the NFL. Anthony Richardson, rookie out of Florida,
has just been named the Week one starting quarterback for
the Indianapolis Colts. And this is many people out there
saying that at twenty one years of age, he is
too young to start for an NFL team, And these
(04:20):
people are absolutely correct. This is the absolutely wrong approach
for a young quarterback, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
You know, it's borderline in humane. We all know you
can't put a rookie in that situation. See, it was
so much better back in the old days when teams
used to wait six or seven years before starting a
rookie quarterback. And by then the rookie became a veteran
and what you need is veteran experience.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Great point, Tony. And you know you look at a
quarterback like John Elway. You know he was ratings in
a quarterback in his eighteenth or nineteenth season, but absolute
garbage before that show he's show it exactly. You know,
you gotta think that it would have been a better
approach to bench him for the first you know, twelve
(05:12):
or thirteen years there, ye, bring him in when he's
got that, as you said, veteran experience.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yup, yup.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
The Broncos would have been better off sticking with Steve
de Bergh.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And now to a big story out of the NBA,
huge drama out of Philly. In a video making the
rounds on social media, James Harden called Sixer's president quote
a liar and said he'll quote never be part of
an organization that Darryl Moury is a part of. And Donny,
(05:45):
when you break this quote down, this is extremely short
sighted by James Harden.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Isn't it extremely short sighted? You know, James Harden says
he'll never be a part of any organization that Daryl
Moury is a part of. Okay, But isn't the NBA
an organization? And what if Daryl Morey joins a charity
like Jerry's Kids or something, what you're not gonna give
to the kids?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And what about Triple A?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
What happens if James Harden's battery's dead and he's on
the side of the highway.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Who's gonna help him? Then? You know?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I mean, anyways, I'm gonna be watching James Harden very
carefully to see if he's a man of his word.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So absolutely well said that, Tony, And now moving to
a stunning story out of Hollywood football player Michael Oher,
whose life story became the basis for the terrific and
totally compelling Oscar winning movie The blind Side, is now
claiming he was never adopted by the Duohee family anyway. Frankly,
(06:49):
I'm confused over the uproar over this. You know, so
what if he wasn't adopted, it made for a better story.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
You know, this is Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, yeah, they're changing stories all the time. That's what
they liberties, that's what you're true. You know what happened
in reality, Well, that only ruins the story.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
If there's anyone who deserves to be shamed here, it's
Michael Oher one hundred trying to ruin such a terrific,
hotfelt and totally compelling and realistic movie.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Right, Tony, you know, we can settle this right here.
And now Michael Oher says he's not adopted. But the
tuoe say it's a conversationship. Didn't the movie teach us
that we've got to get past our differences, Just as
the movie said, we need to see past differences like
adopted versus conservationship. What's most important is family, whether the
(07:42):
legal documents say you're related, and whether you're old, enormous
sums of money or not.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So beautifully said Tony. And you know, just quick back
to what we set up top. You know, people out there,
they've been bitching and moaning because we took a six
week vacation.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah it arrest already. We took arrest. You'll give it
arrest exactly. You know, you're just jealous. You're jealous because
you all it is next week, all it is.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
We didn't miss Jack Squad. Yeah, nothing was going on.
Nothing was going on. And to prove it, we're just
gonna go over some of the headlines for me in
the past couple of days. You know, nothing's going on here,
So just to prove it, these are actual headlines from
the front page of ESPN dot com. And to prove
our pointed, I'm going to read them to Tony and
I'm going to see if he actually cares about these.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Headlines or not. It's a segment we call do you
give a fuck?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Okay, first headline, Tony NBA spotlights Wemby in group play
for tourney.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Do you give a fuck? Hmm, I'm going to tourney
to another article.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
No okay, raise McLanahan to have Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Do you give a fuck?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
The ESPN homepage should have surgery to work? Move this article.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
No okay, seize pauzingis to skip World Cup due to
foot issue.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I'm going to skip this article due to boring issue.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
No okay, Red Wings acquire oft traded defenseman Petree.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I am Petrie fied of reading this article.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
No oh, no, Tony, I see our guests coming on
the line and we're up against it that time.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Wise, all right, let's let him in.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, we don't want to waste that time with more
than useless headlines. Anyway, let's just bring him on the
full SCO satellite.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Network FU satellite in the world.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
This guy, he's a three time Super Bowl champion, but
as we said, as an offensive lineman, so you know,
it doesn't really count.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It doesn't kind of skill position.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
But anyway, look, he's kind of become a big deal
in sports media, you know, not as big as us,
but you know he's and he's trying. You know, he's
got the Stinking Truth podcast. He also calls games for Fox,
you know, does a bunch of other shows. Anyway, enough promo,
let's just bring them on here. Mark Schlereth, Welcome to
the show.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Thank you man. It's always going to be with you guys.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You guys are one of my favorite podcasts as far
as you know, so it's.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Always straight to be on.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Okay, well, we'll see how you feel after this, all right. Anyway,
last time you came on the show, as everyone out
there remembers, you know, it was close to the middle
of the season last year. The Eagles were a blistering
seven and oh everyone thought this team was on their
way to the super Bowl except you. You him on
the show, and they used they couldn't put four quarters together,
(10:41):
and you wanted to see improvement on a seven and
o team.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Then they went all the way to.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
The Super Bowl, which of course was rigged, so they
OpEd that but you know, and that's still been another story,
another story. Anyway, that was such an embarrassment for you,
So that leads to this question, why haven't you retired
from sports analysis?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
What are you even doing here?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, well, it turns out that, uh turns out that
that Super Bowl into that whole four quarters together thing
turned out to be real, Like.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Are you killing me? They regress?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That was real. That was the only thing that was real.
The slippery grass. Grass was slippery.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
How come the Chiefs weren't slipping on the grass? They
have magic shoes on? Or did they have magic shoes? Well,
that's why it was so suspicious.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
There was clearly some conspiracy going on between the Chiefs, the.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Ground screw exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, we went into it in a previous episode. We
don't need to get into it here. Yeah, all right,
do you just admit you were wrong? He's having trouble
admitting that he's wrong. Is that what's going on here?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I would like to say that I was completely right
about the Eagles, and it came back to the bottom of
the back end.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And it took us they caught. Well, yeah, well, we're.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Gonna shut you out the tokus of this show if
you keep giving.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Takes like that.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, yeah, okay, anyway, look, let's us move on here.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Talk about another embarrassment.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You see this, Mark, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott just got
the ultimate humiliation, you know, bad to get called out
by a head coach. He got called out by Texas
Governor Greg Abbott, who said he still needs to prove
that he can win a big game. Let me ask you, Mark,
if Dak continues to lose, do you think the governor
(12:33):
here should look into passing some legislation that removes Dak
as quarterback of the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
How about removing the Cowboys and make him like playing
a lower league or something exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
This is a good analysis. Yeah, now you're getting it,
Keep going right.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Yeah, there are very few things that I hate more
than the Cowboys. I hate the Cowboys with the white
hot intensity of a thousand sons. So yeah, I think
I think the governor's spot on right there. Let's remove
Hey while we're out, and let's remove Jerry. Let's remove
a couple other people as well.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yep, get him out. This is terrific.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
This is analysis we've ever heard from the politics.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
This is political analysis. You'd get my today, right, thank you.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
It's kind of like what happened in Washington, right, Scrub
that organization from that turd and put somebody else in there.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, absolutely cute because you you did play in Washington,
Yeah you did. Were you worried here with all the
politicians there when you had a game that you know
Bill Clinton was going to call you out and tell
you how to get off the team.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
No, because, uh, you know, we were busy, you know,
winning super Bowls and things of that nature. So we
had you know, we had enough of we had enough
of a cushion because of success.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Well, we didn't go to mean the other people on
your team because you know, you were the offensive lineman with.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Skilled position guys.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because yeah, it was because our
skill position players didn't get to the Super Bowl and lose.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
They got the Super Bowl, they won. This guy's so yeah,
you kids.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You know the only thing we lost is our balance
on that slippery turf.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, wet, brash, enough out of you, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So look, let's talk about another headline here. Anthony Richardson
rookie out of Florida. Right, he's starting for the Colts. Now,
some people say he's too young at the age of
twenty one to be starting for an NFL team, And
we couldn't agree more. And you know, if you want
to see why, Look no further than your ex Broncos
teammate John Elway talk about losing super Bowls.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I mean, this guy until year seventeen.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Don't you think it would have been better looking back
if Elway had been benched for you know, maybe the
first twelve or thirteen years of his career, you know, yeah,
let him develop more.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that that's a strategy for sure.
That's a decent strategy. And he wasn't great as you
know as a young player. I took him about a
year year and a half to get really.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Good kind of a team maybe well kind of like
you're like, yeah, your guy hurts who I mean year
over year and I will I have to say, man,
year over year.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
That dude, he played great last year. That was that
was That was fun to watch. I could stop him
except the refs, but okay, good. Yeah yeah, so I
like that.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
So you know, sometimes you just got to play a
little bit to kind of figure it out, and then
once you get you know, a great offensive line around you,
then you can win super Bowls instead of you going
and getting beat Can.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I just say the only thing bigger than you, Mack
is your ego. Yes, that's the only thing biga Okay, good.
Jalen Hurts is the exception.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
John el White didn't win a championship till he was
like thirty eight. Jalen Hurts already won a national championship
when he was like twenty twenty one. So there's a
difference there.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah. Yeah, when Tua came in for him, right, that's
when you want to.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Know, Oh yeah, yeah, we're gonna take you to a
river and drown you there. All right, listen, but hold
on bank to something here, you know, when you when
you were with the Broncos in ninety five, as you
may remember, Yeah, for every the team went eight and eight. Yeah,
couldn't you tell that John Elway just wasn't ready. He
needed you know, maybe six more years of experience.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, uh no, that wasn't That wasn't
the case. That was now John was Homer. John was okay, John, Yeah,
John was John was just fine. We were gonna be okay.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
We were. Yeah, you can always tell.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
And I think it's, you know, to be fair to
you guys, I think you've probably really noticed, you know,
year over year, Nick Sirianni's first year over second year,
how much just overall improvement from a coaching standpoint and
from a you know, and from a playing stampoint.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We talked about Jalen Hurts. Yeah, that's not analysis, that's fact.
Everyone knows that.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
You're trying to say, yeah, that that year over year,
But it was big. I think Nick Sirianni was big.
Like you want to talk about ego, like you make
fun of my ego. How about walking away from play
calling and letting your your offense corner actually call the
plays so you can focus more on the coaching. Like
I got to give him a lot of props for
(17:26):
what he did over the course of his first two seasons.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
That's how you do it. That's how you win. That's
how you win.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
You delegate, you get other people to help you, just
like you got other people to help you win Super Bowls.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's what you did, which was very frank.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Anyway, Look, you know, we just want to catch up
on something because, as you know, we took a six
week vacation. We just coming back because we know when
you're established in this business like we are, you can
do that.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Unfortunately, you can still working your way up. But now,
correct me. If I got this wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
We saw you made some headlines, right you were talking
about Russell Wilson and I'm paraphrasing here, but you called
them something like an overrated has been talentless who can't
throw football, something like.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
That, right, yeah, yeah, something very similar to that. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah yeah. Okay said so, yeah, what was the
question that wasn't a question we just wanted to hear
if you will still believe.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
That, yeah, that he sucks? Yeah yeah, well last year
he was awful. Yeah, but you know, I will say this,
I will say this. I think there were a lot
of things that went on last year in Denver that
that led to him being horrible. And part of that
(18:42):
is understanding what you are what you're not, and you know,
a lot of that goes on Russell, A lot of
that goes on the coaching staff. I think Russell will
have a bounce back year this year, but I think
we all that that's not what.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
We are, you know, inside info.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, you clearly don't hate.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
You know why the Broncos brought in shot Sean Payton,
don't you because he likes to put bounties on quarterbacks.
So what we already's gonna do is he's going to
put a bounty on his own quarterback.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That's right, He's gonna really let you.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
He's gonna let want to tell one of the offensive
linemen you know doing ola, Let Russell Wilson get injured,
knock him out of the league, get out of that
shitty contract.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Don't you think that's a smart strategy. Didn't you hear
that one?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I have not heard that one. But I will say this.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I've been in camp a couple of times, and uh,
I'm watching the way they're playing up front, and you
might be onto something because they haven't been very good upfront.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You think maybe there's a conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But let me ask you this, how much do you
think the bounty is on Russell Wilson right now to
have him engined?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I don't. I don't think he has a bounty. No,
I'm not going to go. I don't believe. I don't
believe there's a bounty there.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You know what you're telling us, Our sources are in
as good as yours because you're a guest bronco quote unquote, well,
guess what We're gonna put a bounty bounty on you
is free?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Guess what the show again. You see yourself. You're up
the show.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Thinking this shows and whoever helped you win us?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Is he off the line? Jay, hang up the phone.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You know, I still don't know how that guy calls
himself an NFL analyst moron.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah, he totally missed the mark in that interview.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Great one, Dony anyway, and great way to bring it
all around, because other than that, it was a terrific show.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Thank good friends at home depot, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh no, you're hitting me steal the mark.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Listen, I didn't miss it while we were on vacation opportunity,
said Doucy J.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
What do you want corrections? What hurry up? You said?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
The family from the blind Side is the twuoe family.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, bro, look it up. That's their names, bro. Yeah, no,
it's Tooey, not to Oh. Oh yeah, well I can't wait.
Doie throw you off a bridge? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Your blind side is where I'm gonna throw my hatchet.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah. He's done. That's it, let's go no more.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
What no you said? John Elway should have been benched
for the first twelve years of his career.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, took him forever to win Super Bowls. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
He was the MVP of the entire league in his
fourth season, so benching him probably would have been a
bad idea.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Oh yeah, well, you know what's also a bad idea
every time you speak?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, you know what was an even worse idea, your parents'
first date.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeay, you one. Let's get out of it here, we're finished.
What Harry us?
Speaker 6 (22:04):
You said you don't care that Tampa Bay Rays picture
Sea McClanahan is on the disabled list and likely out
for the season.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
No, don't care at all, and nobody cares. Bro.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Yeah, you do realize the Rays are close to being
at the top of the Al East.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Oh yeah, well you're gonna be at the bottom of
the East River.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, we're gonna put you on the disabled list for eternity.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yay, you are done. Great, great way to welcome us
back from our vocation.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Just got an email book next week on the show
