REP: LeSean McCoy and the World Cup

With NFL training camps less than one week away, Rich Eisen and the podcast crew fire back up the microphones for an all new edition of the #REP. The guys touch on a few of the storylines that have been circulating in recent weeks before welcoming back in-studio VP of production for Fox Soccer, Jason Wormser. “The Worm” shares his final thoughts on what was a brilliant 2014 FIFA World Cup that concluded on Sunday with Germany taking home the hardware. Up next, Eagles Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy dials into the program. McCoy enjoyed the best season of his brilliant young career in 2013, rushing for a league leading 1,607 yards and totaling 2,146 yards from scrimmage. This was also good for best in the NFL. Voted the fifth-best player in the National Football League on the “Top 100 Players of 2014″ countdown list, “Shady” talks with Rich about the loss of wide receiver DeSean Jackson to the division rival Redskins, the addition of the versatile Darren Sproles to the Eagles backfield and if the Eagles can remain atop the NFC East in 2014.

prefer Rich Eyes and Podcast. Here's your host, rich Hey, everybody,
welcome to the latest edition of the Rich Eyes and Podcast.

(01:30):
We are so close to training camps. We can taste it.
We can absolutely taste that. Training camps begin to open.
I believe this Friday, the Buffalo Bills are first on
the board. The kids from Western New York will open
training camps, and then the following week they fly open,
one after another after another, until all thirty two are

(01:51):
in the mix. And then we finally made it. The
silly season over. The training camp season begins, the preseason
right behind that with the Pro Football Hall of Fame
on August the second, and then the National Football League
season right around the corner. People, Chris Brock would get
to see great, to see you, guys, what's happened? I'm fine,
good job again with you and Chris Loga to see

(02:12):
you second edition of the Best Stuff. How many more
of those do you think we can make? I'm serious,
we've got I think we can at least two more. Yeah,
I think easily we could get We could get two
more of those bad boys out. That's a full volume set,
I think. But I'm I'm not. I'm no longer off now.
And then yeah, you however, are going to the UK,

(02:34):

considered were the UK places like what Ireland? Right, flying

Barcelona and then make my way back to London. And
I think I'm gonna catch you up premily because they
start August. There we go, and uh, before we do

(02:57):
get to a little world come, we have Sean McCoy calling.
And Sean McCoy, he's calling in. He's coming out for
the SPS. Uh. Slight was a little delate, so he's
not gonna make it in studio, but he's gonna phone in.
He's gonna phone in. Yes, is he up for an um? Yeah,
he has to be. I can find that. I have
to be on a season. Last year he's out for one.
You're just saying that because you're an Eagle, Sam. By

(03:19):
the way law, you don't have to look it up.
I don't care about the answer. I just thought you
might know it. I believe he might beat from the
game against the Lions. It was like best best run
or best player something. But I'm also just talking out
you are, but you're used to doing that. Yes, okay,
So Lashawn McCoy is going to be calling in at
some point during the program. Yes, he will. I mean

(03:41):
we can talk about. Uh, I guess what's going on
in Houston with Andre Johnson. There's not much. As I
wrote this week's Monday Morning Quarterback for Peter King, by
the thank you, I appreciate that for anybody who's out there,
and you know about most people I believe have go
ahead and read that. It's it's required reading for folks
like us and for football fans each and every week.

(04:03):
Peter's been off for a month and it's his final
week of vacation. I believe he's had Khalil Mack and Um.
Who else wrote that? Clemco Robert, I think no guest
ones were Trustman wrote one. Mark Trustman's was great. I
did read that one, so um and I wrote this
week's one, and I did talk about how the silly

(04:24):
season is finally over or it's about to be over,
and what constitutes a silly season story and what doesn't
um and we'll talk about that in a minute. Is
along with the World Cup, I want to introduce Jason
wormser back here. Again. We had a good chat. It's
not just America and the World International. So they love

(04:45):
them sold some American And yes, so you were you
were last on the show about a month ago when
you were previewing the World Cup. Now the World Cup
is over, but the silly season stuff because you were
you know, before you left for Fox how many years
ago now? Six? No less three years? Okay, where you
are part of the the burgeoning soccer um or football

(05:09):
I guess area of the Fox Soccer Empire, Fox Sports
empire um. Talk about that in a minute. But you
were the NFL network for for six plus years. Since
the very beginning you were went the doors open um.
So uh, you know, you know the silly season and
what's not the silly season? And what I wrote in
the m M M M QBS stories that in the

(05:33):
silly season, some of them aren't so silly and the standards,
there are two tests to decide what's a silly season
story as it's silly or not. One is if it
deals with a person's life, family, or career, not silly
like Josh Gordon, what's going on with him? And then
what's not silly is when any story that takes place

(05:55):
during this time of year, if it affects wins and losses,
when toe meats ball in September, or if a team
is so fortunate to be playing deep into January, and
it's not so silly, it's serious. And right in the
middle of that, right riding that sort of fault line
is one Jonathan Football And did like that you called

(06:18):
him Jonathan Jonathan Football JFF. That he's right in that
fault line where all of this stuff with Bieber and
Mayweather and Gronk and bikinis and babes and and the
four hotties he brought to Fenway, right, all of that
stuff could be you get them right here, do you

(06:39):
want to bring four hotties to Fenway? You've been dying
to bring four hotties. That's all he's wanted to do. Right,
All of this stuff can be completely silly or it
could be dead serious. If the Browns hand him the
reins and he's not ready to take them, that's the
whole and that. But still he's the reigning king of

(07:02):
of of the silly season perhaps in the eleven years
that I've been covering silly season football far well, but
that's not some of those. But no, that's not so
silly season well because they're not retired coming. I mean, yeah,
if Twitter exists, still career was going and people were
snapping photos. Is this fars Is this so far? If
you would say, yeah, he has in the history of

(07:24):
the NFL network calls me to miss more meals at
home where it's like you gotta pack a lunch and
suddenly we're staying for dinner and then we're and then
Lebron has nothing on him, nothing nothing. Well, Lebron was
was very decisive. I mean he just said, you know,
I'm gonna but they don't mess around. They have their
like you can't do anything until a certain day and
then hello, and then there's a there's that moratorium of

(07:47):
ten days in the it's like it's open. Here we go. Yeah,
I mean, he had his guy visit all the teams
and he decided. I don't know what he when he
went to Vegas to chat with pat Riley. Perhaps that
was to basically tell him goodbye or give them one
last shot. His camp was in Vegas too, so he
was holding it was that his decision was made Mosica.

(08:08):
Do you think so? All right? Question? Well, and and
and I do discuss that in the Monday morning quarterback
to Does this mean the Browns will have more of
a desire to make a splash on their own front?
Lebron Center, as you call it, Lebron, with Lebron Lebron Center,
with Lebron now being in Cleveland, do the Browns the
Browns have their own Lebron. Let's not get each other.

(08:28):
He is of that status. He's a needle mover there
Brown two. Yes, the number two, A lot of number two,
A lot of two, A lot of number six is right?
Is he gonna number six? Is gonna go to six?
I think so? I mean the question is do the
Browns at some point feel compelled to go ahead and

(08:49):
make their own decision, or do they feel compelled to say, Okay,
Lebron has made the splash here, we need to make
a splash in town. And obviously we need to see
how Manzel handles himself in training camp and on preseason
football games. If this is truly a competition with a Howyer,
I still think he starts week one, Manziel, not not

(09:12):
week one, preseason week one? Did you see Horrier tweeted
out a quote from Lebron James's Sports Illustrated. That's a
story yeah, about both just about you know, of jobs
or respect is earned and things of that nature. You know.
Silence shot across the ballance, just like, let's remind each

(09:33):
everybody you know. And he's the Ohio kid too. He
played well, he did for three games, hey, the Thursday
night football. So it was I think two and two
Cleveland against two and two Buffalo when when E. G.
Manual busted his leg up, you know when he should
have gone out of bounds, and Hoyer didn't last a
series in this lead, blew out his dai. It's like,

(09:55):
now there's no Steve McNair's rest soul, none of those
sitting out for a year and a half. It's well,
I point that out too. If Hoyer plays from the
get go and struggles, the Browns are one in three
and they're still going to stick with him, then the
house from from the fan base, well JF stands there

(10:15):
within a Yearbud and a backwards cap standing there and
there one in three. I mean, those were the there's
four scenarios that I said, I don't want to go
over the entire months, but you laid them out. Can
you can you at least say the mad lib because
that was hilarious? Yeah, well I lived off. Well I
do it, Johnny even I do it. Johnny Men's nell

(10:39):
mad lib the way, yes, a mad lib the way
Cleveland would have you know, the mad lib if it
was out in May, right after the first round of
the draft, and I fill it in the way Cleveland
would have filled it in, and then filled it in
the way Harvey Levin would have filled it in, which
may have been the way it actually happened. That was

(10:59):
the has made every decision as if Harvey Levin would
tell him how to do it. Think about it. Mayweather
is the most notorious, for the lack of better phrase,
let's put it, most well known sports gambler of any
sports figure today. Correct. This guy tweets out, his tweets
out the betting slips, only the ones that he wins, though,

(11:21):
so who knows how much he lives? Is And and
Bieber Bieber who just pleaded out of a case, right
he did. He's taking pictures with the two of them
at a Hollywood party. This is entire the coach says,
maybe you should don't know a little bit. This is
this is the way Harvey Levin would fill this out, right.
And then there was the drunken picture on the inflatable swan,
Oh my lord, And that's the whole point. Please read it.

(11:44):
Do we really know if and if this means anything
or it doesn't. And that's the fault line that JFF
has been writing no travel note in your m m QB. Well,
I mean I didn't have the time, um, as you know,
as you as you saw first dear near nerns well
as as the two Christ's saw firsthand. Um on Sunday

(12:07):
when they came over for the World Cup final. Didn't
invite me. Well, you're I figured you were. You were busy,
You're you're not at work when you're doing that. We were,
you don't have like a World Cup. No offense that
I wasn't watching Fox News after the actually very we
just had studio stuff within Fox Sports Live. That's what
I figured. So I figured, honestly you'd be working. Well
any right, Um, they came over and they saw firsthand

(12:31):
the three children madness again it's mad, it's madness. It
was more like seven children, well children, many children, that's
and they're all getting so much bigger now rich. So
you're the type of guy that would tell the kids
to just pipe down? Do you want to hear it
in the dark? I would have said, like pipe down, Yeah,
that's why you know, I mean it seemed wasn't for you?

(12:52):
What time the Stepfather is Worm? Colin Hanks was there
on Sunday. If we're name dropping, I mean nominated, Yes,
the Iman nominate Colin Hanks. I think he even said
to us the the he credited the podcast Bump, the
podcast He's coming on every time now, please take good?

(13:13):
Oh god, so good. Really he was nominated for just acting,
just acting, just for acting. Sixteen nominations and all. Yes.
The only other show that was nominated more was Game
of Thrones. That wow, and an American American horror story.
So I'm not a horror guy. I'm not. I'm not

(13:35):
a horror guy. So I gave that. I gave it
a little try. I gave it a try the first
season because Connie Britten was it was in it too.
People walking in like this stuff. So um, I don't
think it's called dead people walking. It's called the walking Dead.
It's okay, but it is that dead people walking. I
mean you just that might have been the original working
title of walking dead, Dead people walking walking. Let's get

(13:58):
to the World Cup now, because I mean, is or
anything else to discuss? Andre Johnson, I don't know how
that's going to I'm still waiting for him to get
trained to the page. He's got to order Carolina. But
Josh going back to Manzell or one quick thing. He
has nothing around him right now. He is, I mean
with with with Gordon going out, Miles off, is there

(14:19):
an other wide receiver? And okay, and let's hope they delivers.
It's good. God, nothing's happened with him yet, but I
assume that's gonna happen, that something's gonna come right into downs. Well.
He also if you if you read it, he blew
very close to the legal limit and lawyers can get
a lot of people off for that. It's more the
drug thing in May that's probably gonna get him suspended

(14:42):
versus what happened the d w AH. He's at least
out for the entire two fourteen season. I don't know
about that yet. It could be we have no idea,
no idea. You've got the old teammates and people within
the league tweeting and sending out notes. Think about him
as a man, and think about how can we help him.

(15:02):
This is they know, the players know, man, they know
it's they They need to get Johnny Manziel help, and
they right. He needs in terms of the field. Josh
Gordon needs off the field assistance. Johnny Manzel needs on
the field assistance and or off the field assistance to

(15:25):
We do not know if he can live his life.
And this my Charles Barkley said this week that he
didn't think he has the maturity to be famous. That's
what he says, does about does not have the maturity
level to be famous. You know what, he needs to
make a phone call to one number two, who plays
in the Bronx. That's the dude he should be paying
attention to, because that dude figured it out. Okay, still figuring,

(15:49):
he's still gotta go, He's still gotta go on. Well,
I heard somebody told me that that's when you come
to Jeter's house or anything that he's with. Uh, he's
got a basket out in front. You have to drop
your cell phone in it. I do that. That is
a cell phone free environment. It's good healthy. I mean
you have to think about it. The era in which

(16:11):
he has conducted himself, in the manner in which he's
conducted he's never heard anything. Once you've ever seen anything
doesn't mean nothing's going on. Stuff make a freaking Kelly.
Come on, let's be honest. Make it Kelly. Well, we
all gift what asks. All right, let's talk World Cup
because right by the way, because I don't see him
being traded. I don't either. It was costing the Texans

(16:32):
too much money. It's not not either. Texans are a
couple of players away. Well, he knows health of being,
but he knows. I go back and forth reading that
he that this is a money issue, and it's an
issue with a closing window of opportunity. Just turned thirty
three this past weekend, Andre Johnson, and he just knows

(16:53):
that it's now or never for a Super Bowl. And
he looks and he goes, there's a new coach. There's
Ryan Fitzpatrick. I'm out when in this year they have
quarterback issues. But he's gonna have to hold out to
training camp. Then they may want to go like like
the old eyebone, you know what I mean, double wishbones.
They may try to They may try the veer because

(17:14):
they really have no a lot to split the split
Verer Bill Yillman from the old He's the cover Days seven. Gosh,
I can't wait. These questions are soon to be answered.
You're right, then let's get to the World Cup because
he's got to go. That was phenomenal. I really don't

(17:36):
want it was phenomenal. Enjoyed it. I think I think
the venue, I think Brazil as the spiritual home of
the game, brought in energy, the people, the fans sitting
at home. Though, worm, I'm not feeling I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the people that I'm talking about, the
people I know who were there, who sent me a

(17:56):
little thing. But you didn't hear some of the travel
nightmare stories of people that the the night the only
nightmare was Recife because the rain. I mean it literally
was and they played in the flood. The remarkable part
was how did all those people get to the game?
That place was completely full? Yeah, I think what Twellman
who was calling the game and a half. Yeah, he
was tweeting out pictures of floods up to up to

(18:19):
the hoods of cars. It was. But they were surprised
by the travel. I was the spirit of the of
the country. Now I'm with you on that play I'm
talking about to play on the field. Why was it
so exciting? Why was it good? I'm telling you there
was no vovo zellas, so guys could communicate on the field. Okay, well,
there's a lot of talking, a lot of yap that
goes on in the field. You and I don't hear,

(18:41):
but there's a lot of communication and the volozella. I'm
telling you, I went to five matches in two thousand
ten in South Africa. I had to wear ear plugs
at all of them. It was that loud and that annoying.
And I'm telling you it was like you walk down
and you were shaking at the end of the game
because it was like you were like one of tho
little ship machines for ninety minutes. Is that why there
are so many our goals then, because because their goals

(19:01):
are way up. I think, I think the energy of
this of the stadiums. I think the players come to
Brazil and they say, I want to put on a show.
You have these five South American teams, this is their continent.
They want to put on a show. And they're great
that they have good teams and good players and all
of that. Combined with that, defenses aren't as good as

(19:23):
they used to. You know, it's not Defenses are a
little bit slot because the weather the heat, the humidity,
all those things put together, something's got to go. And
you have all these outstanding players, because this is really
a player's tournament. It wasn't the team, right, who is
the great team? We all kept talking about who is
the great team? That really was the great team? Germany
was the most consistent, But who is the best team?

(19:45):
There wasn't there was one team. So you're saying this
German team would have been beat by Spain four years ago,
or the Zaddan team of the nineties, or or Italy
would the team versus it's a don team. That team
would have been one of the greatest World Cup falls
ever easily would have been phenomenal. Oh my god. The talent,

(20:09):
just the pure talent of the field. Oh the guy
who actually won the game was you mean if on
Sunday in in in France and night, I mean they're
the main guy is really was really never I was
just shining. That was his moment. I mean, that was
his his Timmy Smith moment. And but the rest of
that team, Holy smokes. But this past World Cup final,

(20:30):
um was you know, and for a lot of people
in this country, nil nil doesn't really like many fires,
but I was on the edge of my seat throughout
because there were so many chances and and I have
really come to enjoy watching some of the xs and os,
which I'm not completely familiar with that all, but just

(20:52):
seeing how the teams were moving the ball around and
how they were methodical and doing I really got to
that over the past four weeks. And it was a clinic.
It was a clinic on on Sunday. Certainly the Germans
were a little bit more clinical. And that last goal,

(21:12):
I mean, what talent he buried. He parent off the
chest right and he buried it in a way. Now
is it fair to say that he buried in a
way that Messi had a chance or chances to do
in that game and did not. Is that a fair
critic he makes that when he's in Barcelona. That's nine

(21:32):
out of ten. I think one of these One of
the things that's difficult for us is like when Peyton
Manning is a quarter Tom Burrier quarterbacks, they're gonna make
the throw. It's going to be close, no matter what
I understand. You're using your foot. It's a whole different thing.
But when you see the free kick he had at
the end of the game, and it doesn't even come
close and it sales twenty yards over. You then start

(21:53):
to think like is this my golf game? Is it luck?
And you're duffing stuff like what why can a player
that's presumably the best in the world hit such an
awful shot? Yeah, well, I think it happens. I think
I think it happens. I think he didn't have much
much of a window to hit the ball to um.
I think he should have passed it and try to
get off ahead or try they should have tried to play,

(22:16):
like kind of what the US did? That US play?
It was I that was play was the save was?
It was great, perfectly conceived and executed. And and that's
one of those where maybe Kleinman has been working that
they've been working on it for months and use it

(22:36):
one months and you got your one shot and they
needed it, and oh my lord, that was so freaking
against Belgium. There was tons of what ifs and and
the thing about the messy free kick at the end too.
I was sitting there thinking it's similar to when in
a baseball game, in a World Series game, right when

(22:57):
it's the ninth inning and the batting order always winds
up with somebody like a rod having that chance at
either redeeming himself amongst a fan base that is ready
to savage him or live up to his own hype.
And of all people that got a shot with thirty

(23:19):
seconds to go in that final, it's messy for Argentina
and Ian Dark, who I also wrote in the mm
GB I think is phenomenal. He is as good a
play by play announcers there's anybody out there. And he
perfectly said it. He goes, you know, one shot on
the foot of Messy to save Argentina in the World Cup,

(23:40):
and he paused, he goes, no pressure, no pressure, you know.
And it was true. He had, he had, he had
his moments. I mean it was he the best play
in the tournament? Noah, who was in your mind Rodriguez?
I thought he was, that was better than him, just
individual the until he got a complicated thing. It's a

(24:01):
complicated it's your typical m v P discussion is to
what and how many? Like how many games do you play?
Like MESSI played seven games? Yeah, but he didn't score
in a knockout round. All of his goals were in
the group play. So so it's essentially if you're just
talking about goal scoring. It's the entire pool of player.
There's a separate one for goal scoring. No, I know that,
but but obviously, obviously you're not going to be the

(24:23):
most valuable player if you're shut out of scoring in
a tournament. Right now, there's a lot of there's a
lot of I'm sure there's a lot of sponsored by Adidas.
He's an Adidas guy that has something to do with it.
Even even Sep, even Uncle Seth said, we gotta kind
of look at this again. Well maybe really, maybe Putin
was saying something too, because they sat next to you know,
put Puttin. You saw at halftime. He didn't see it

(24:45):
like they go in the back. They don't have like
a bite food, they have a drink. You mean in
the in the FIFA box with Ashton Kutcher and who
else Lebron. Did you see Tom? No, I missed Tom
Brady with Tom Brady was not on the list. He
was at the event. Then here's the thing. That's the

(25:05):
one country and one event where Tom Brady is a
plus one. Okay, any other place, any other event, in
any other country on the planet. It's the Gisele bunch
In and Tom Brady, but Tom Brady in Brazil for
the World Cup final where Giselle presented the trophy before

(25:28):
the game. Only situation where Tom Brady is plus one
wrong at the v v I P list, very very important.
That sounds like something at a Monty Python. It was
the very very important v v I P list had
no plus once. It had all these guys who run

(25:51):
these federations. President. I thought we saw a Brady taking pictures,
did you didn't? We didn't see that. I saw a
twit pick of Tom there. That's what I thought. I'm
sure he was there, but he's not on a very
very important come on, so Putin and russ step was
the president of Brazil like Putin definitely whatever to Russell

(26:13):
Russe that half times the statue? How much with the
statue's trying to buy christ the Redeemer? Is that what
you're saying? The sunset, the sunset shot, the sunset with
the with the Christie Redeemer? How much? Boy? So, so
you're you're within your children. I love you. That's your

(26:33):
that's your next. But that's the next big major soccer
gig for Fox. I don't know. You've got all sorts
of stuff you got all sorts of stuff, this Rod Cup,
next song. But the Men's World Cup you've got the
next one in two thousand eighteen in Russia. In Russia, Now,
when did those games start? Because I know you mentioned

(26:54):
how the popularity of this year's World Cup um was
due to the scene in in Brazil many ways and
the fans zeal it happened to help certainly here in
this country that the games were at four eastern and
noon eastern group stage, right, and and us out here

(27:15):
they were during the group stage nine am and three,
which was Now I know we're weren't at night Pacific,
but you want him on the East coast. You want
these games to be tipping, you know, kicking at six,
because if you're holding an event where where the fan
base in Europe and Africa is truly that's the home

(27:36):
base US here and also South America. This is this
is you can't get. You can't obviously help the whole
world in terms of a fan friendly start time, but
here this was this was spectacular. Now Russia, when are
the games going to start in Russia? If they use
the same lineup, if they used the same three hours difference? Right?

(27:59):
My opinion, and this is strictly my opinion. You're gonna
you're gonna speaking for the I'm gonna float this up
to show, I mean, Shanks is going to ask your
opinion an open door policy. There I have floated, and
you and David Hill lunched yesterday. Right now, um, and
I would say that the games will be played at

(28:22):
eight eastern in the morning, eight in the morning, eight
eleven and two. Now they are so we're waking up
here at five and the more to the east coast
plus eight okay, such Europe as plus six to the
east coast there for some reason, because I'm a weirdo
and I like weather in time, why they are plus

(28:43):
eight to us is a completely it's a joke. They
should be minimum later, they should be maximum plus seven
to these costs. See, I love this. You've I've heard
you complained about so many things, like the old man
on the poor howeling at the moon at some of
the most incredibly arcane, stupid things. I've never heard you

(29:05):
complain about time zone that time what they're in is it?
Is it a travesty or just a joke? Is it?
Because they are literally next to eastern? There you stick
a line straight down from Moscow. There's a line to
Tel Aviv and Turkey and all they're all Eastern European time,

(29:26):
which is plus one. So it's from such a European
it's another hour. It's another house. We lose another hour.
Maybe that's what point is. My point is that I
think control times. I think because he had whatever he
wants too, I think they're going to start the light
game at ten o'clock local time. Okay, so in a
Moscow town, so Eastern time zones it is eight in

(29:48):
the morning, eleven in the morning too in the afternoon,
that is all right, that would be the best scenario
for American television right now with the time. I mean,
that's just give me the best scenario. I'm not saying
it's gonna happen. What what be there? Five years ago
the Champions League final May United versus Chelsea the famous
Charlie Brown kick as I call it because John Terry

(30:11):
slipped as he kicked the ball. And they're going to
win the European Championship in loose Nicky Stadium where the
final is going to be in kickoff with ten pm
m came in a close to two o'clock in the
mart But my guests, my guess ten and do we
know the towns that it's going to be in. Because

(30:31):
at least with the Olympics, they were he was able to,
he was able to, they were able to construct this
sort of bubble in which they could surround it. Security was.
This is gonna be spread out all over the country. St.
Petersburg Moscow have two venues. I think St. Petersburg will
have one. They have a lot of work to do
because they don't have area. There's people going over soon,

(30:55):
are you. I don't know, I got I'm pretty busy
on our domestics, your domestic stuff, which is what let's
pop it. So the soccer, the idea now is for
how does soccer people and people in television like us
get you guys who are like, hey, this is really fun. Yes,
well we have these great international tournaments and international teams

(31:19):
coming over. So next Wednesday at the Rose Bowl Manchester United,
who's coached by lou Van Hall, who's the coach of Holland.
Right the Netherlands first game as coach. That's the next
are all exhibition games playing the l A Galaxy in
the Rose Bowl. It's eleven o'clock at Eastern time next Wednesday,
So you've got Sports one, so you can go there
and ask him your question Brockman as to why he

(31:41):
substituted at the end of the game against Argentina when
it all looked like it was going to penalty kicks
and would have been available, and his his closer, which
I've never seen before to use a baseball It was
essentially bringing in a pitcher who hadn't pitched all game
to close, right, So you can ask him that question. Well,
is everybody asking him that question? How about? How about

(32:02):
the story too that two of his players said I'm
not taking the first kick, and he wouldn't name them,
but he came out and said, two of my guys
said no, they turned it down. Why why would they
not want to take the first kick? I don't know.
When when you play a golf scramble, you don't want
to hit first? Do you want to hit first? Not? Really?
You do want the stick? And he buried it, buried

(32:24):
it his last good swinging the leg of the tournament.
So that so there's other stuff, right, So it's coming over.
A whole bunch of teams are coming in the big house, right,
We've got we have a Real Madrid playing Machester United
in the Big House. Have you ever seen Michigan On
the August two in the afternoon, I'm Big Fox at
four o'clock and there's gonna be a hundred and ten

(32:46):
thousand people there. It will be the largest crowd of
any soccer event in North American history. Before I let
you go, what let's talk quickly ramifications. What's what's going
to be the largest ramification of this of this world
up of any player that's going back to a league
in Conker calf Or or in Europe. What's gonna be Rodriguez?

(33:07):
How much money he's gonna make a lot of money?
I mean his transfer his transfer million euros two from
from but he went up from forty five million to
about a hundred million. Jeez, So I think I think
that Real Madrid may want him um at a hundred.
You know, if you've got a hundreds playing in Monaco, right,
playing Monica, don't imagine that you look like that. You're

(33:32):
playing in Monaco and it's making that much money and
it's tanks free. Wow, what they're gonna be in the
Champions like we should watch on five on Fox Sports one.
So that's the greatest giggle. I really screwed up by
not being a European soccer star. What about negatively? Is
there any negative radica? Well, here's the funny part. David Louise,
poor guy he got. He basically transferred to ps G,

(33:55):
which is run by the which is run by the
Guitari government. They are good our government. UM fifty million
if that's fifty fifty million pounds, so that's eight you're
talking about like eighty six million dollars for a guy
who can't play defense. Was Brazil the worst semifinal team
in the history of the World Cup? Might have been? Yeah,

(34:17):
we were. When I sent you a note, I there's
some teams that have played. Uh, some smaller countries like
Turkey and Bulgaria have made up, but they've had great players.
I'm telling you, there an't many good players on that
Brazil team. There's not neymar is good, Danny Elvis is good.
They're good players, not great players. They were poor. If

(34:39):
that if this tournament wasn't in Brazil, they don't get
out of it. They probably don't. They might might get
out of the group stage. They don't win the round
of sixteen. Good to see you. Thanks you. In soccer,
watched soccer on Fox Sports, right, Fox Sports Home of
We got a lot of sucks. Let's work on. Let's
work on getting me in dark on your crew. Let's

(34:59):
work on him. He's got to do and get him
call an NFL game. Have him called it one in
Europe Tuesday, in football Tuesday. Okay, good to see it.
That's Jason Worms that secondary football. Everybody here on the
Rich Eyzing podcast the Worm. Everybody the Worm, but one
and only they broke the mold. He's complaining about time zone.

(35:20):
Why wouldn't he because that's what he does. I mean,
we would be watching games on Sunday for years here
at the network, way before we started watching them on
the set with our huge at the time projection TV system.
Now we got that beautiful digital board out there, right,
But even when we were we used to watch them

(35:40):
across the way here in our campus in a in
a in a conference room with just a few television
sets on the wall. We used to watch him there.
So I've been watching I probably watched more football with
him than anybody else here on staff, or used to
be on staff, even even to today, right, he would
be owling. He would be screaming about bad football or

(36:04):
bad timing, bad refereeing, how long the games were taking, um,
bad commercials, hot bitch shots. He's done. He was a
red red hat. That's what they call it, the guys
on the sidelines who wear these big orange gloves and
and and use hand signals to tell the officials on

(36:26):
the field that the television commercials back from commercial break
and you may now put the football into play. That's
how the refs know that they're back from commercial break.
Is there somebody who is part of the coverage standing
on the sideline. He was the red hat for the
forty Niners San Francisco forty Niners Giants playoff game, the

(36:46):
trade junkin game where where married? She said bummer afterwards
when he was told that that apparently a pass interference
penalty was not called on the that was his response, bummer.
Where it was the red hat for Fox for that game,
probably eating those orange gloves because he's a Giant fan.

(37:06):
They got to be unbearable to watch a giant, a
Giant game with him, because you know, it's not unbearable,
That's one way to put it. Another comic instant classic.
We've had we've had people, you know, because over the
years as it's become more and more of a popular
event for people to come in for charity events and
things of that nature, where people come in or just
friends of staffers come in and watch the games with everybody.

(37:31):
And um, we've had children, children, five, six, seven year
olds with Worm and he would just be cursing up
a storm. And one time one of us went up
to him, is sitting worm. You know, he's like an
eight year old here. You know, you should probably tone
it down. He goes, you know, tough and that and

(37:52):
that the kid. You know, it's the kid's fault for
coming in, right, should you know. And that's so that's
he's so pure. He's so so pure. He's not trying
to please anyone. And that's why, you know, he's a
perfect perfect person to for the beautiful game if you will,
to try and uh, he's a he is a guy
who I would hire because he loves the game so

(38:14):
much to try and bring that game to a level
of interest that so many fans hope it to be in.
Fox wants it to be in time for obviously the
Women's World Cup next time and then the Men's World
Cup four years from now. And and you heard him
say that that's what he has charged with doing is
making sure all of us who have been so captured

(38:35):
by the World Cup that we stay. Now. It's going
to be tough for me to stay. I don't think
I'll be doing that because part of the allure of
the World Cup for me is how much it meant,
the magnitude of these games. And I watched the Sporting
Case game while the World Cup was still going on,
the one where the guy took the selfie goal celebration
after he scored a goald. You see that he went
up to someone, got his phone out and took a

(38:56):
selfie with fans as a celebration. It's got a yellow card.
But I was watching it before that and I'm like,
this just doesn't it doesn't have that same atmosphere. How
can you go from playing in the World Cup, Well,
here's the money that like Hamas and these guys are
gonna get now. I think part of that is is
what doesn't for me, Like these guys are playing for
hundreds of million dollars. He's a playing for country. There's
nothing bigger than country. Pride in events like this. Well,

(39:19):
and that's the thing about too, it was with our
sports here in America. It's a civic pride that it means.
And we were talking about, you know, Cleveland and what
the what Lebron coming home to Cleveland, and that was
what I meet the press this week was the was
the return of Cleveland and Lebron going back to Cleveland
and the Republicans choosing for their convention Cleveland in two
thousand sixteen for the presidential election. They're Johnny football is there?

(39:41):
I mean, so there's a civic pride aspect here, but
you know, a national pride aspect to all of these games.
It's just so humongous. And as we're waiting for Lashawn
McCoy to come and call into you know where is
that him? Is that him? Or use that an email
saying that he's calling some notification that he's a few
minutes away. For that's not that I think that's a

(40:03):
different ding. Oh that's a different, different notification. Um So
studio stables, where by the way, I am frozen to
the core. It's so funny that we're next to a
fan and oscillating fan that's turned off and what appears
to be some sort of space heater. Is that because

(40:24):
that does that turn on? I think that's an error.
Actually an I says red zone only on it? Oh?
Is that that Scott Hanson? So Hansen took the D
batteries home with him to Florida, right that it is
like a red zone only Sorry, I'm sorry. Around the
league you might you may not use Scott Hanson space heater.

(40:46):
I'm taking my basketball and I'm leaving. I mean, I'm
going home. I'm freezing. It's freezing. I can't feel my notes.
I don't even remember the point I was making. It
was a new studio, and no he was Is that?
Is that the sport in America? You know where? That's
what everybody's been talking about, is how to because you know,
the Univision numbers through the roof, powering one million folks

(41:07):
for watching the World Cup on Univision, and ESPNS numbers
were through the roof too, So how do you take
this popularity? And the and and and the the issue
is is during the summer is when MLS plays, right,
and you know how many of these guys are going
to come to the MLS to play. Now, apparently they're
gonna get trying to get Tim Howard in Dempsey's They're right,

(41:30):
I mean, so you're trying to get something else from
the U S team. But how many of the guys
of of of Roger, like would Rodriguez come here? And
how do you get kids in this country to go
on the path to be as good as Rodriguez? How
do you get them to do that when the pay
days are in the NFL, major League Baseball, the National

(41:54):
Basketball Association, even professional golf, which is obviously a tough
tough lineup to at could be the toughest lineup to
crack that we've mentioned right there, right. And so how
do you get kids who are supremely talented and athletically gifted,
how do you get them to play soccer in this country?

(42:16):
I don't know how you do that. I don't either.
I think it's like, I mean, you gotta start at
your age. The one good thing about it is it
does require space, obviously, but unlike golf, it's an expensive
sport to get into as a kid. Hockey very expensive.
So you're not gonna see you know, those in the
lower socioeconomic status starting and playing those sports necessarily. But soccer.

(42:38):
You just need a ball in a street. Really, it's
that's the beauty of it. You can play with two nets.
It's like playing hockey as a kid on your street.
Game to to garbage cans. You don't even need nets. Yeah,
but uh, I don't know. I think stuff like this though.
It definitely has kind of turned our our our country
and it will start to And what he worm just
said their Manchester United's coming to play here. That one
of the most popular teams in all the world, the

(42:59):
glad her family owns coming to play the gags. All right, Well,
that's what's going on in the World Cup. I think
we've exhausted that topic of discussion, do we miss I
just want to touch on Brazil for a second seven
to one watching that match, did you at any point
feel bad for them or what were your emotions while

(43:21):
you were watching that match? I believe it was just
disbelief for me. I turned my head at one point
and I saw I saw a goal I thought was
a replay scored again. Yes, yes, it was two minutes
apart and it was like three We think if they
went from like three nothing to four nothing and a
fan of like nine in six minutes and I turned
around and I'm like, oh, they like they're showing the

(43:43):
replay again, and then it was live. I'm like, oh
my lord, I couldn't believe anything like that. And you
know the story that I read, and I know we
don't usually discuss um gambling, No we don't. We we
frowned upon it. It's like that that terminology. It's like,
I come the unfrozen caveman lawyer for me, like, I
don't know your your terms, you're over and under terms

(44:05):
confused what part of speech? But you just have to
mention the story about that. I read that somebody because
apparently obviously over in the UK where you're heading, it's
the wild West, and you could create your own wager
for an absurd odds I think like one or something

(44:26):
like that. So somebody created they took the score of
seven nothing. Oh it's that ninety minute seven nothing, and
somebody won also seven one. Somebody won seven to one.
They won, and you know, an absurd amount of money.
And you know in this because uh and and the

(44:46):
quote in this story was whoever was running this establishment
saying that he felt bad for the punters, which is
the term over there that Apparently I didn't understand when
I made my punters of people to t shirt internationally,
selling them internationally. I didn't know that. But he says,
I feel bad for the punters who had seven nil.

(45:09):
That's seven nil, and you know those the garbage score
at thee, the garbage score at the one. You know.
But you know, I was just thinking throughout. I mean,
that was that was one of the worst ass kickings
I've ever seen, you know. And some people were talking
about Super Bowl forty eight. I mean, come on, it's
not even close, but that would be like the equivalent

(45:31):
of sixty four to three, right, wouldn't it be seven nothing,
seven one, sixty four to three in a in a
Super Bowl? Come on? Well my playing by the way
in the stadium of the team, Well, warn brought it
up in Brazil, the passion during the Brazil Chili game
that went to Peaks. I was nervous that I was

(45:51):
rooting for Chili, but I thought, like we would see
some riding on Copacabana Beach and oh, that's so, That's
what my thought was. When it went to two oh
and then it was six oh. At least in my
my head went to at least the brazil fans realized,
and they have sixty more minutes to realize that they're
not gonna win, and it's going to be more of
a common influence because that was one of the big
things going down there. You know it is. There's some

(46:13):
dangerous stuff down there. There's a reason a lot of
people didn't want to travel to Brazil. Bright Thompson, who
was who writes for ESPN dot com, whos wrote some
of the most incredible on deadline Day after pieces I've
readden quite some time. He wrote about watching that game
amongst the people in town um while Germany was delivering

(46:35):
that total tail whipping seven to one, and that might
be the greatest performance by a road team I've ever
seen in any sport. I mean, the home field advantage
of Brazil had going. And at that game there were
almost like everyone's wearing yellow. Everyone's wearing yellow today, and wow,
it was so loud and then it was so dead quiet.

(46:56):
They just lost to like they didn't know. It looked
like they got punch boxing match and a punch that
got punched. It was just stunned. I didn't know what
to do. Fred Fred boy Fred Fred Fred not good
Can you imagine if the US put guys out there, Fred,
Joe and Hulk. I said that. I said that I

(47:17):
thought Fred looked like the Spanish version of John Holmes.
I thought I was gonna go with Rod Woodson. Don't
boogle John Holmes at work? People. Yeah, you didn't even
know who he was. More proud of the fact that
I didn't. All right, Sean McCoy is dialing in my bus. Shoot, okay?

(47:38):
He led the National Football League in rushing yards and
then to put the cherry on top scrimmage yards as well.
The number five player in the National Football League is
voted bias peers on the NFL network recent poll that
was airing on the show Welcome to the Rich Eyes
and Podcast. Leshawn McCoy, How are you, Leshawn? I'm good.
I'm good. It's to be on the show an honor. Wow.

(47:59):
I appreciate that because your celebrity. Man, Is that right?
I didn't know that. Is it because of the way
I run the forty yard dash? Lashawan? Is it because
you're jealous of my speed? Is that why? I was
just about the mention of you know what I think
you are? You're pretty good. Man's just the technique. That's
that's about it. What do you mean tell me, help

(48:20):
me your technique? The way you run, I think as
players were in a certain way, like with good form,
you know, a good leverage, and you kind of don't
it looks good though. Well listen, here's the way I
approached my forty yard dash. And you can relate to
this too, Leshan. I only know one speed, you know,
and what beats in my chest is the heart of

(48:44):
a champion. And you can't teach that. You know what,
You're right about that, You're definitely right about that, you know.
It's just that Dion tells me it's my start that
I can't get out of the blocks. Period. Well, you know,
coming from d On, it's a little different. He doesn't
have to come out the blocks. He has that natural
that natural gift. Yeah, well you do too with Sean,

(49:07):
not like not even close to well, I mean, I
don't if Dion ever led the league in in rushing
and scrimmage yards. I know he didn't play the position,
But I'm just saying, I'm just trying to your horn
of it. And if you ask him, I'll tell you
he probably could. No, No, well he would he always
tells me he's a five down guy. He played three downs,

(49:28):
then stayed out on fourth and came back out on
first down. That's what he tells me. Yeah, and then
he also played in the World Series two. Um, how
are things? What are you doing these days to get
I mean, are you are you eager for training camp?
Are you enjoying your final days before? How? How are
you approaching this this period where we're so close to

(49:51):
actual football. I'm actually still working you know, I'm still
working hard. I'm still training hard umbo short before we
have to go to camp, you know, because the chip
tell the offense you really gotta be in shape. Um.
And I think in our second year, you know, with him,
we actually know what they expect and that's what he
wants to be in good shape. So what do you

(50:13):
what should Let's let's put it this way. When you said, uh,
now you're too in the offense, you'll know what to expect.
What do you know now that you perhaps didn't know
at this point last year? Um? So many different things. UM,
just starting as far as just um, you know what
type of coach he is, what type of things he wants,
as far as you know, different place um in a

(50:34):
tight jam. You know, what's what's his money in place
he likes to go to. UM. You know, his expressions
just sometimes where I can tell when he's piste off
at me or he's pleased with me. Um. And the
things matter do they really do? Or or the type
of effort you know, he might want more effort UM.
And the practice tempo and I can I can name
so many different things. But now I think as a

(50:55):
team for God who play with the first year You know,
now we know because it got from the beginning to
late in the season. We know what he wants, you know,
he we know how he wants to practice. You know,
he wants to play. So what pisces him off the most? Ah? Man, Well,
I could speak for myself not running the correct hole
get some very angry m hmm. How many times did

(51:17):
that happen though? UM? And a cool thing about is
uh he has such a great personality where he actually
wants the best for the player. And there's times when
we have these talks and and everything is is to
help the player out. UM. And and sometimes during the
game we can get into it because I might you know,
see something my way, you know, and in the play, um,

(51:38):
you know, should be going a certain way. And that's
just kind of teaching me the play within the system
and then after that letting your your natural instincts to go.
And that's something that that he's helped me out with
to be a better player. Well, it certainly worked out,
you know. I mean your your year last year? Did it?
Did it even exceed what you were hoping for each year?

(52:00):
I I usually try to, um, have a goal what
I want to do, um, and last year it was
two dolland yards off purpose you know. But but it
makes a lot easier, man, when when you know, when
when you're getting the ball and the guys in front
are really blocking. Well, um, you know one thing about
my team is, uh, the guys are final offense. Man.
They they're really pretty good. They're very very good. Um
and and a lot of backs can't really say that,

(52:21):
but I'm confident enough to say that from guys are
a tough, tough crowd. Right now. You told our colleague,
my colleague Albert Brier, that that that the Shawn Jackson
parting of the ways was a signal to the rest
of the team that was heard loud and clear. Can
you can you expound on those thoughts. What did you
mean by that? Sean like, for example, I'm sure you

(52:45):
know if you hear a player like that who's done
so much to the to the fair sises he makes
some many different plays, um you know, coming off his
his career high as far as stats, um stat's wise.
You know, anything can happen, you know, and anybody and
be let go. And that's kind of an example, even
if you're not playing for the Eagles, I think if
you're playing for a different team and you kind of

(53:05):
see that, because that's the reaction I get from other players, like, Wow,
they let the Sean go, which is a shocker, you know.
So let's you know that you know, anything that happens
a business and and and if you're not thinking of
business as far as doing a small things that the
team wants. Um you know, if there's an issue between
the team and the player and anything happened. So what
do you think, um, what do you think he's gonna be?

(53:29):
What it's gonna be like when you when you play
against him, obviously you're not gonna be on the same
field at the same time, but what what will it
be like with the Shan as an opponent for your team,
you and your team. Well, just just as last weekend,
you know, de Sean, I had a big event for
my birthday and birthday yea, yea, and I'll kill young

(53:52):
and uh it ma and De Sean we're talking about it.
Just it's so weird. We actually played back the celebrity
game and we were opposite teams in the way we
compete get each other. It was it was so weird
because we're so used to playing with him, you know,
on the same team, and we were joking about it.
But I know him. He's a competitor, you know. I
think any team he plays on, he'll do fine, he'll
do well, um, you know. And I think he'll have

(54:13):
a pretty good game against us, but our defel will
be ready for him. And I told him that I
M gonna have the most place in that game against
ma'am um what m I think it would be there'll
be It'll be a nice game because he'll come out
to play hard. You know, he has that chip on
the shoulder. Man. I think he really wants to show
the world that, you know, he's still a great player,
which we are alread you know. Yeah, described for me,

(54:36):
the Lashawn McCoy hoops game on the what what what
are you? I can I describe this? Okay, I'm quick,
I gotta I gotta mean al Iverson crossover mixed up
with a little bit of that that mom would fade away,
you know, so you can imagine that yourself, you and

(54:57):
Iverson and Kobe right there. I mean, that's that is
there is there any Lebron in this? You know what?
You know what a little leon in me trying not
that that the type of Lebron where I'm dunking on people,
just straight craming on him like he does with but
that that that aggressive broach to the to the whole

(55:19):
I like it. But unlike Irison, you don't mind practicing,
right you gotta practice? Yeah, yeah, I'll practice. I'll practice
just trying to sess the whole thing out. How How
good is Sprowls gonna be in this offense? I'll tell you,
I'll tell you what. Sprowles has the quickest feat I've
ever seen out of any player. Um, you know, I'm

(55:40):
practicing with him and it helps us out tremendously. I
think the best thing about him on what he brings
to this team is not only leadership and experience, but
also just another big playmate on the team. You know,
you talk about losing to Sean, and I think how
he intripted a great job of bringing another playmaker um
to our team. And he catches, he runs, he's does

(56:01):
special team um Man, there's nothing that he won't do,
you know. So I think with me and him in
the back felt together, they'll definitely cause an issue with
the defense. And I'm looking forward to you for for
the huddle of sprawls and folds, just to see if
if if we put you on sprowls as shoulders, would

(56:22):
you collectively be taller than folds at that point? You
know what, Nick is tall? That's a good question. I
only ask those Yeah, is real real short? That's that's
really a tough one, That's what I'm saying, Like that
could be the biggest height difference between quarterback and running back.
I mean, this may not make any sense or matter,

(56:45):
but it actually does it do you know what I
was trying to think my first day at camp. I'm
gonna ask chip Man. I was thinking over the all season,
maybe we didn't have a play where you line up
in the huddle right, because you never never how to
how to how to put sprowls behind me so nobody
can see him. I think if if there's because you'll

(57:07):
probably never do an eye formation either. But you know
falls under center, which I don't think happens, right. I
think he's right, but let's that would be totally against type.
Please pass this along and have my face on like
a big placard that will signify the lineup right, so
it'll be my face. Somebody holds up my face, and

(57:27):
even though I know Chip doesn't didn't really bring that
from Oregon, I'm still looking to see my face on
a sideline because it is all about me. So you
hold up my face and episode falls goes under center,
then you're behind him and then sprawls behind you touchdown
from anywhere, from anywhere on the field. Yeah, okay, Yeah,

(57:52):
I'm I'm I'm just trying to make you better, Lashn
by being on this show. I appreciate it. And because else,
I mean, if if he's anywhere close to what he
was last year, you guys are favorites to win the division,
would you agree with that assumption? I would think, I
would think so, I would think so. Um, I know
the type of pleason having that locker room and also

(58:13):
the coaching. Um, you know, you mix that together, man,
and we all have one goal, I would say, so okay,
And lastly, what are you wearing to the SPS? Are
you set for that? You know what? Actually, it's such
a big event to me. You know that that I'm
stuck between two outfits that I don't want to reveal it.
I want to be a surprise, you know. I kind
of want to have that day when I won't want

(58:34):
to SD carpet like, wow, what it's gonna be eighty
here though it's gonna be eighty. Be careful, don't go
three piece. That would be a mistake. That'd be like
a an SPS mistake. Don't do it. I've been going
to the SPS. You know, well, my my invitation has
been lost twelve years and counting since leaving ESPN. But
I you know, Stuart Scott and I used to sit

(58:56):
in the in the Radio City Music Hall balcony like
the two old muppets. We used to sit up there
doing the pre SP show and people come correct, Leshan,
you know that already they come correct to these events
with what they're wearing. So I don't know if I
gave you any heads up here, but you just have

(59:17):
to just be be careful, but go for it, is
essentially what I'm saying. And it sounds like you want
me to dress safe to that sounds like, well listen,
and we were out on the edge of training camp here.
We can't. We can't have any mishaps. You know. I
want to make it through the season until the season.
There you go, Okay, well, good luck, enjoy enjoy the
time I've I've really have enjoyed watching you play. I

(59:41):
had you on my fantasy team too. Seriously, You're you're
just a pleasure to watch. I had you on my
fantasy team two years ago. And maybe you could confirm
for me, Andy Reid just it was in the rule
book that he could not hand you the ball in
two consecutive snaps, Shawn. Was that a rule? Was I
wrong assume in that two years ago? Yeah, that's not

(01:00:03):
a rule, man, That's not a rule, because it looked
it looked like I was looking in the rule book
like Leshaun can't touch it twice in a row. So, um,
so I gotta be honest with you. I didn't have
you on my team last year and I paid for it.
I paid for it cools this year to take me. Okay,

(01:00:24):
I will do that and listen. I've really have enjoyed
watching you blossom as a player and uh and the
way you just conduct yourself and the way you run
and the way you play. It really is a pleasure
to watch. And I'm I'm thrilled to have had you
on my show and I look forward to the next time. Already.
All right, well cool, thank you, Thanks for having me.
Thank you again anytime, certainly before the combine. When you're

(01:00:46):
gonna make me better, You're gonna take it, You're gonna,
I'm gonna I'm gonna definitely crack five nine this year.
Thanks being definite. Thanks Lean. Take care. That is Leshaun
McCoy boy cut on Dime twenty five on Twitter joining
us on the Rich Eyes and podcast. But I enjoyed that.
That was a good chat, good talk. I've been wanted

(01:01:08):
to talk to him for quite some time. Never been
on the podcast. Yeah, first time I met him. He
was out here a few years ago, just doing the
car wash, but wasn't a day that we were taping.
So it's interesting, man, telling if Philadelphia is a big story,
if Folds can do it again or even just be
a reasonable facts simile of that. I think they're gonna

(01:01:29):
win that division again for sure. You don't think the
Redskins maybe get back. I think the Eagles win that
division again. I do. It'll be interesting facing Dashawn twice.
That'll be fun, It'll be good theater. That's why I
believe one of the Saturday games is is that matchup. Um,
it'll either be on US or CBS. That's gonna be

(01:01:51):
to be determined later on in the year. But the
final Saturday of this season, I think it's Week sixteen Saturday.
I think, uh yeah, it's the Week sixteen Saturday. There's
two games. That's one of them. I'm looking forward to
that immensely. Um and um, I don't know. I might
just have to go Leshawn McCoy and fantasy. Yeah. Yeah,

(01:02:16):
well you said that you would take Peyton Manning. Well,
I mean, if I'm first overall, I'm taking Peyton Manning. Yeah,
there's no doubt in my mind. I don't care. Yes,
absolutely over The sp nominated for Best NFL Player. You
did look it up, didn't you? Oh boy? All right, Um,

(01:02:41):
so the spre this week. But from what I heard
prior to this taping, the biggest event is next week
with a burger draft. What is this? What is this?
Before we go out the door? Here? What is this?
So it's also chris last birthday next week, but it's
my birthday next week. We were on consecutive days July.

(01:03:08):
So last year we were old. I'm not gonna say,
how old are you going to be? Thirty four? Okay,
what's the big deal? It's not a big deal. It's
not a big deal, but you just made it a
big deal. You've made it a big deal by asking
me repeatedly about repeatedly. That's the first time I asked
you and then you said I'm not telling you, and
then within ten seconds you told them seconds whatever. So

(01:03:31):
last year we did this, we went to uh A,
who's the we I was on some of my friends
law could not make it. Last year we went to
this place called twenty six Beach down in the Marina
and they're famous. They have some world famous hamburgers. It's
a big list, twenty or so so I think there
was only seven or eight. We each selected one burger

(01:03:52):
and we had it cut in half. Then we had
a draft where you drew numbers out of a hat
and we did a sn draft, and then you had
a draft on which burgers you wanted to eat. So
it's you know, there was some strategy involved, if you will,
if you selected a burger you wanted to eat, or
you could try to screw the group by taking one

(01:04:13):
that maybe didn't look as good a veggie burger, or
like last year, someone took a tie burger just to
try to screw the group. And then you that's where
you select. That is how you celebrate your birth. That
you know what, You're not invited anymore. It was it
was like it was a really good time. Everyone had

(01:04:34):
a lot of fun. Looking forward to anybody take twenty
seven minutes, Like in your real fantasy line there Brian Line,
not president. No one took twenty So you're gonna have
a burger draft for your birth. So we might have
another burger draft. You're two of the burger draft. By
the way, you don't understand the strategy of the burger

(01:04:55):
draft at all. You could tell me that again, but
I would fall asleep. I'm sorry to say. You know what,
I'm still going to invite both of you. Okay, come
if you want we can do the Burger draft at
the Manchester United game at the Rose Bowl. I'm not
around On the twenty third. I'm on my way to
Denver for the opening of Broncos training camp. I'm gonna

(01:05:16):
