Sacramento Kings fan means it is our.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Time again, Light the beam. Welcome into another edition of
the Sports Cave with Biggest Puma, another Monday night edition
of this thing, broadcasting live once again in parts unknown
on the north side of San Antonio, where we're under
forty days until NFL Opening Night, thirty eight days away

(00:38):
from that September fourth kickoff up in Philly, Cowboys Eagles
actually opening up the NFL season. There's a lot on
this day though.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
It's gonna be a good game. But is it?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Do the Cowboys deserve it?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's the Eagles Cowboys, it's divisional, it's always a good
rivalry game.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
That'll be the third most watched game all season. Oh, definitely,
because it's the opener, because it probablys Yeah, it might be.
I bet there's one later in the season where everyone loses,
like playoff. Yeah, where everyone loses their collective mind mahomes
versus somebody. But no, as I said, a lot, actually

(01:21):
a whole lot. Normally the top of my notes is
pretty blank. But we got a lot of days. Today
start Manu's birthday.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Manu's birthday today.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Happy birthday, manuix Oh, I think we're older than that now,
aren't we?

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Forty six forty seven? What's the over Oh man?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Have you ever's got to be closer to fifty turned forty.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Eight, forty eight? Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
I was like, let's make a bet on it if
anybody's seen the old TikTok of course everybody has where
they bet on how many calls the Gambler's Addiction Hotline
will pick up on.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay, we might have to end up playing that Wednesday.
Because I sent that to the roommate and she literally,
so those of you all that remember my buddy Truman,
she literally her exact words were, I bet that's what
you and Truman did all growing up. And I was like, actually, yeah,
not far off, not far off.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
It is July twenty eighth, Monhuse birthday, thirty eight days
till NFL opening night. It's also National Water Park Day.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh gooslitterbond.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
I do love me some schlitterbond. I remember the first
time I vacation down here, whenever I was a wee
little lad, little kid, and the concept of you know,
growing up a river rat on actual you know Piloxi Brasis,
Squaw Creek rivers. Growing up up in North Texas, the
fact that Slitterbond had a lazy river that was just

(02:47):
a part of the actual real river blew your mind,
blew my mind. I was probably like seven eight years old.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Well I was.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I was probably about as old as whenever I saw
something else that happened this day.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, so like whenever you now, when you go there,
you only see the two parks to it, not the
third one that's all ramped up. Like we were so
amazed with those first two parts. Oh yeah, now we're
just like, can we just get to the third park already?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
So I so we still like to go. I mean,
obviously the roommate and I kid free, so we have
quite a bit of time to just go on a
whim to theme parks or amusement parks, and uh, we
still go to Slitter Bond just get bombed h and
stay in the oldest parts of the park where there's
less people. Yeah, because it does.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean, it's the park warm during the summer because
it's straight from the regular river. It's just like, is
this is this peepy or is this some things you
just got a tough through.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I mean people pay some people pay high prices for
that temperature of water. It's also Buffalo Soldier's.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Day, Buffalo Soldiers classic.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
H do you actually know like the era? Guess the
like what years would you guess? The first Buffalo Soldier
regiment was established.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Buffalo Soldier had Okay, obviously they're going the buffaloes are
still roaming at the time.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh you're starting. Good context, Yes, great context, a.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Little scientific you know, deduction here. I'm gonna go eighteen
twenty three. Okay, good guess LG. Do you have a guess.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Or Buffalo Soldiers.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Not the year?

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah, not those year Marley released this, so as we
just got so yeah, yeah, I'm going to say eighteen fifty.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Okay, you took the over. You are correct. So the
first one was right after the Civil War. It was
like eighteen sixty six. Oh okay, I went down the
wormherl earlier today. But you were right. It was the
Native American tribes in the West that gave them the
name Buffalo soldiers.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
For multitude of reasons. Some historians suggest it was the
curly hair.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Some historians suggest it was just literally they fought as
hard as a buffalo, and so they got the name,
and I thought they would.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Follow the buffalo path.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
No, they so they they were a large part of
fighting the American Indian Wars, and as we manifest destinied West.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
It was the took their land.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, I think the first one paid full price for it,
that's correct, and and then made it better in the
long run.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
They got they got Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
It's the irony of two of our you know, most yeah, yeah,
but no, they the first one was in like Kansas,
and so they were right on the planes fighting all
of the Indian tribes as they moved across west.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
There's also a great little remembrance exhibit in the neighborhood
there in the east Side, but it's hardly ever opened.
So if you do find it on a random day
it's open, I would suggest we popped in there once
or twice when we have found it open. But a
fun I mean, I'm a sucker for history. It was
a fun little.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Well, can I interest you in something?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
It's also National Milk Chocolate Day. No, no, no, no
connection between the two whatsoever, I'm sure, but can I
interest you?

Speaker 3 (06:26):
And Thursday was National Tequila Day?

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Oh, okay, so I'm glad if our show. It almost
feels like, so was that does that mean next year? No,
we have to wait six years.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
No, it goes back. It does go back, so it
will go be on a Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, because next year is not a leap year.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
We're good.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, Oh okay, so next year we'll have next year
National Tequila Day. Will and if Laurence can uh pull
up a picture. These are the brands of tequila that
I olge den on that day, and they were.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
They were naturally they were no prob. Yeah, they were
not cheap.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
They uh you got on the left, you got Cassi
on Yeho. That bottle runs for about one to eighty.
You kind of said that really fast. It felt like
the okay, there we go, like I can't I don't know, Yeah,
I don't look at me for a proper explanation. And
this new one I tried, which was interesting, is eighteen

(07:28):
hundred's new extra on Yeho, but with an orange they're
kind of fashion in it to make an old fashion
with it instead of using whiskey, so it has that
has a spicy note in the beginning with an orange
back orange backer to where it would go perfect in
an old fashion, but like I said, my tequila and

(07:50):
they were both quite delicious. The Cassi on Yeho is
probably one of my favorites.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Need I need a new one because I'm I'm feeling
like my time with Don Julio is passing as the
lawsuits continue with them watering down their stuff with sugar water.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
And you'll go down a rabbit hole where they start
getting more expensive and more expensive, and you're like, if
they have a cast number where that means they're allocated,
the better they are in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Uh, you mentioned the using it for old fashions.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Like eight eight nine years ago, whenever I was working
for a PR firm here in town, working as a publicist,
we were the PR firm in charge of the cocktail
conference and the cocktail of the year, Like the event
cocktail was a Mescale, old fashioned and still to this day,
I that is my preference over any.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
The Mescale has a very smoky undertone.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Like it's still I've never thought tequila, I mean practic
not the same, but yeah, mistake.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Family, It's like it's more bourbon like old it's.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
More earthy, more you're getting more.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
I proof like three bourbon.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know, I'm here to tell you it's delicious.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's delicious with mescal, So I could imagine that's the
other thing though, if you're you're talking about how expensive
those were. That's why I don't like mixing them with anything. No,
like I'm not yeah, just straight straight neat. Well, there's
been so many nights where you've given me hell for
your like you're not supposed to shoot.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
It, Yeah you can shoot it like I buy them
like a good shot, And I'm like, you better sit that, man.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
And then you turn your head and start a conversation
with someone else and you look back over it.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
It's gone, gone, It is gone.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Well, before I tell you something else that happened on
this day, that back in nineteen ninety four that I
was actually in attendance at LG. Tell the good people

figure it out, LG. How can they help us?

final leg of the anchor.

cross four fifty and then five hundreds are our sub goal.

wish list from any potential sugar daddies. It's the same concept,
just very different application.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
I've had two different bartenders where I called them like, hey,

a sudden they send me a send me fifty dollars

lot of thirsty guys out there though, actually do it,
and I'm like, yeah, I'm not the one man there is.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
There is some small part of me, obviously, in a
scenario where I don't meet the roommates stumbling drunk on
Sixth Street back when we were in college, there is
some part of me that could imagine being so rich
that randomly just being like, here's a fifty go by

(12:10):
yourself something nice like I can some of the appeal
I can see, but it's the creepers that are like, oh,
I've got seventy five dollars to my name, here's seventy
four of it.

gonna bring it up before you brought up damn.

you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have noticed. Now I
can't stop, I can't unsee it. I wish, I wish
I could go back to the innocence I held thirty
seconds ago when.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I thought this big ass TV was the coolest thing.
We had to the to the studio.

ninety four, there were forty eight thousand plus people in
the Old Temple, the old Rangers Stadium that now is
called Choctaw Stadium and it hosts XFL and high school
football games.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh it's unstable, and it's it's right across from the
creek whenever you go acrossing like the low parts in
the Raptors.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
It's not good. But they should have they should have
just demolished it, but instead they gave it to Arlington
ISD to host all their high school games.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Put the kids.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
In nineteen ninety four, on this nine, I was eight
years old and it was cub Scout Night at the ballpark.
But there were forty eight thousand people there because all
those the fear that's bunch.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
There's a crossover.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Every race of parent needs their kid to do something
to get out of their hair. There was also the
threat of the MLB strike and so everyone was That's
why the stadium wasn't packed because it was cub Scout night.
The stadium was packed because people thought this might be
the last weekend, last week.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Of baseball as the strike was setting in.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Obviously, we know the Expos didn't get a chance to
win the World Series that year. The Rangers were leading
the division on this night in ninety four, but they
had a record under five hundred oh strong strong division,
terrible division, playing the California Angels as they were known
at the time, who were in last place in the

(15:59):
division but were only like six and a half games
back of the Rangers.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
The whole division was asked, everybody was terrible. But I
know who was on that team, the Angels team in
ninety four. Who mister Nolan Ryan in ninety four? No, no, no, wait,
that was like eighty four.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, yeah, it's revised there because Nolan had just retired
with the Rangers a couple of years earlier. No, a
rookie center fielder named Rusty Greer made a diving catch
in the ninth inning to preserve Kenny Rodgers perfect game.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Rusty Greer, Rusty Kenny Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Name me two more Texas Ranger names than Rusty Greer
or Kenny Rogers.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
You could have like I would.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
First off, when I think of Kenny Rodgers, I think
of Kenny Rodgers Gambler, Kenny Rodgers chicken and the musician
Sweet Seinfeld like that Kenny Rogers Chicken sign.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
I can't go to sleep, Jerry.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
But no, man, wow, wow, So you were at that
game eight years old? So it's one of those, like
I was right up it raish like it was a
perfect game or a perfect game, oh man, and everybody
starts ramping up in the seventh inn.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
But again, let me remind you it was cub Scout night.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
So how many people were paying attention?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
H thousand percent? And I'm there, I'm eight years old,
and I'm as fanatical like that was right on the
verge of my kind of awakening, like I had just
fallen in love a couple of years earlier, with you know,
Duke basketball, with the Final Four, like sports were starting
to click.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
The Cowboys were good starts, like a thousand percent.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
So there were there with our cub Scout troop, and
I think there was me and one other guy who
actually one other kid, one of my friends, who actually
understood what we were witnessing to some level as much
as an eight year old can understand how rare a
perfect game is. Yeah, but yeah, it was. It's one

(18:03):
of those.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
There's a lot of perfect games in the Little League.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, correct, Yeah, there's a there's also uh a lot
of perfect games on Ken Griffy Junior Baseball on four.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
But I do that all the time.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
How is what do you mean this is rue looks
like springer guy hit in the face.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Well, Eugenio Sore has got hit in the hand, so
he might be off the trade market. We're gonna talk
a lot of baseball in the weekend sports recap. But yeah,
one of those memories that I don't think I'll ever
see anything more rare live in person.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
There's no there's no way to participate.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
You can't be like, oh, well, you know the grom's pitching,
he might pitch a perfect game today. No, there's there's
no rhyme or reason. You know, you had David Wells
still away smelling a booze and drunk, and when he
threw his perfect game for the Yankees, you know, but
like and oh Doc Gooding, yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
He was on, but it might have been some Yeah, it.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Was just straight cocaine. The h The only thing that
ever came close was we were at a Ranger game
when Randy Johnson threw a no hitter and the Rangers
were so bad they just put the Diamondbacks game up
on the screen as the Rangers were playing, just to
get keep an.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Up against.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
It was either watch Randy Johnson throw a no hitter
on the big screen, or watch Kevin Minch that clean up.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
For the Rangers.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
I loved I loved Shrek, but uh was not not
good years for the Rangers. So yeah, I eight years old,
and I don't think that will could I don't think
that'll be topped.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
I don't think that yet. No, that's once in a
lifetime moment right there. Actually witnessed that, and plus a
diving catch for the final out.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
That so that's that was the moment. Rusty Greer was
my guy from that moment on Rusty was he was
a rookie that year. We ended up sliding over to
left field.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
But wonder what Kenny Rogers bought him for making that question?
You gotta buy you gotta buy him like a Rolex
or something. Yeah, for a perfect game. Yeah, and you
get preserve it. And you were sitting there making a
diving cat. So was it a was it a diving catch? Frun?

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Diving?

Speaker 2 (20:24):
He backpedaled initially and then had to recover He missread
it off the bat and so had to charge in
dive in could be Ah, they were a lot stricter
about versus Yeah, I think they would have given the
offense the advantage there. But it's Monday night. We're back

(20:45):
in the room. As always on Mondays, we start with
a little weekend recap and uh, we flipped a coin
and CAP's gonna go first this time.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Well my weekend recap, Uh, nothing much. We did have,
Like you said, we watched a lot of baseball. We
had National Ki and Live. But we will start with
my Yankee minutes. Put him inn it on the clock.
Speaking of airs, one Anthony Volpi is tied with the

(21:15):
league with eighteen areas as a short stop. Not never good.
We have two rookies now pitching starting, but we picked
up a third baseman, Ryan McMahon from the dying Colorado Rockies,
and he gets to wear the pinstripes, which is always
a beautiful thing. Every player will whoever played for the

(21:37):
Yankees will say wearing the pin stripes is something different.
And now we have to go into the horribleness. This is.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Losing street the pinstripes.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
We Ryan McMahon flash some leather. He flashed some leather.
We got him for his defense and he got his
first hit, he got a run.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Today we're playing right now. We're going against Tampa. Toronto
is oh yeah, I'm a ranger, I'm a Yankee fan.
Toronto is just but Judge is on the I L
And as we end the Yankee minute, I thought we'd
come up with some Judge and Otani stats.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
What before, dude, what's the update on Judge? How long
are we talking?

Speaker 1 (22:23):
They say it could be it could be ten days,
it could be a month.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
But the main thing is when he comes back.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
This is kind of because it's a u cl spring
uh tier one, but a lot of these times this
will progress. And then it comes to Tommy John because
he did it about a week ago, throwing it from
the outfield and you can see him out there and
he was like grabbing his hands wincing in pain. If
it came to that though, he would just date surely, right,

(22:53):
he's gonna be and guess and guess who's gonna have
to be out there playing in there, caddling out there
this art rid thing. Yeah, so he's going to be
in the DH role because we need the god amongst
men with these stats. So I decided to look up
some Otani versus Judge stats. All right, some quick hitters

(23:19):
through ninety uh. This is for this is through for
Otani I'll give him his prows through nine hundred and
fifty five games, Babe Ruth two hundred and forty home runs,
Otani too fifty seven, King Griffy Junior five point fifty
one RBIs, Otani six twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
That's kind of surprising.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Actually, that's pretty but the lab.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Number isn't surprised as surprising as him having more RBIZ thing.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
I think he just feasted with the He definitely feasted
with the Dodgers of the years.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's through the first amount of time of their career.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, this one.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Griffy was on bad Mariners teams where they were throwing
his dad out there with him to sell tickets for
so he wasn't getting a lot.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
His RBI numbers came once and showed the Angels always
had a They always had hitting, they just never had pitching.
Oh yeah, when Otani the first Mike trout and then
through ninety one starts, Nolan Ryan six hundred and seven k's,
show Hey, Otani six eighteen k's and then man, that's

(24:21):
kind of surprising too, because otanis not throwing nearly as
many pitches per start as Nolan was. Yeah, and Nolan
would intentionally walk again if he fell down three one
in account, he would walk him to start the psycho
or the strikeout. It's over exactly, and especially lateness career.
I guess that's early the era Clayton Kershaw three sixteen

(24:42):
through ninety one starts Otani to zero point ninety seven. Okay.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
First of all, the fact that you just compared Otani's
numbers to Babe King, Griffrey Junior, Nolan Ryan, and Kershaw,
that just shows how much of a freak he is.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, it's a fact. So that's a fact.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Like pitcher and hitter, that's a fact.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
And the fact that he's doing both of them is like, yes,
I will give him his props, even though he decided
to take the easy route and go to LA. They
offered the most and they're the best team on paper.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Man.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Okay, so that made me look up some of his, uh,
some of Judge's quick hitter stats. We got Judge longest
home run versus Otani and Judge four ninety six. Judge,
Oh so did he get four seventy Otani?

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Did he get Like? Did that home run count as
an extra run since it went so far? Or is
it the same as any guy that goes over the fince.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
It just shows how god like status he is. Hardest
hit ball no.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Judge one twenty one point one, Otani one eighteen Judge
God Judges hit one hundred and twenty one miles an hour,
hardest hit that was the hardest hit, home run, hardest
hit batted ball one nineteen uh, Otani hit a one
nineteen point one one. And of course Judge still one
to twenty one point one. Average home run distance four

(26:05):
eleven Otani for seven Judge.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Oh, well, Otani's is actually further average.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Got he got one. He got one, all right, and
so now we go. Let's see.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Let's see where Judge's home run status is through. We
got through UH one thousand, so basically eleven hundred games,
one thousand, ninety six games he's played so far in
the major leagues, three hundred and fifty two home runs.
That's almost one hundred more home runs with only one

(26:36):
hundred more games or two hundred more games.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
So it's an extra basically an extra season. Yeah, plus
thirty games.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
That's godlike.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous. Like that's all right, Bonds is
the only one god like RBIs eight hundred and one.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
And Otani's was what.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Was I think that's the difference between hitting with people
on base.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, Otani's was six twenty seven. Yeah, that's so eight
oh one versus six twenty seven. And you gotta think
judge like judges, you know, being a having those godlike
skills and just a human, you know, a human body.
It hurts, it hurts.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
You know what gods don't do. They don't get injured. Man,
that's that's godline.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
He is still a man, but he's a god amongst men.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Now he created some kind of Greek mythological creature.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
I have to do something because.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
It's and and by reeling, you mean five and a
half games behind the absolutely the only team hotter than
Texas might be Toronto now opening up a five and
a half all of a sudden, Toronto's twenty games a week.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
We broke Toronto has said one like we eleven in
a row at home. We were the only ones to
break it. And they're now they are three or four
games at home undefeated. They just don't lose at home
and like God, I can't say They're pitching is coming
around and we're seeing this all without Vlad even hitting

(28:18):
home runs like he normally does. He's just hitting doubles.
He's in RBIs and Springer, which I don't know, Oh,
this must be a Ranger, but like Springer, I don't
know what. He just got pegged in the head man.
Everybody in the orioles, even the orioles were kind of
like on the knee.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Saw one of those in the one of the Rangers
games this weekend. Simeon Saturday night, took one to the cheek,
but it hit the He had the cheek protection extender.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
The Carlo John Carlow exactly, so.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
It popped that he stays in the game, ends up
hitting the gets the game winning hit in the tenth inning.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Baseball more than any other sport.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
It's like, yeah, it seems like the natural poetry.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
So it seems like they have momentum again.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Again, it seems like they have a little bit of momentum.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Explain to me how a Rangers team was dead in
the water, forty three and forty seven overall, bottom three
offense in baseball.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
And now they're the hottest team.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Because it's not momentum. It's almost it's not momentum.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
It's just when you feel good, you play good when
you feel good, you play good when you're when you're.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Real learning to actually play to their level of.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Because it's no, it's not, it's literally between the years.
You're telling me, you're telling.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Me, Marcus Simeon was it was all between the years
the first two months of the season, and then he
got one hit in one game and that snowballed into
he was like having a higher war than Judge the
month or the first half of July or first half
of whatever. That was when we were talking about it
last No, we talked about on the show because we

(30:09):
that one we looked up that was last month when
all of a sudden, Simon he was the worst hitter
in baseball and then he had a higher It was
like a ten day period.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
It wasn't long.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Don't lose your don't get your panties in a wad
over there that we're comparing Judge to go again. I
might need to read brush up on my Greek mythology,
but I don't remember many of the gods coming down
with a ucl string.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Body the weekendul biracial man got a lot of baseball
notes to get to, So I'll pick up with that
here in a second, it was a surprisingly chill weekend,
which was nice and it actually I'll tell you how
I know.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
I am fully back in on baseball and the Rangers.
I actually played multiple hours of MLB the show this week.
That's the Yeah, that's the I had. Like the first
two weeks of the regular season. The Rangers were awesome.
It looked like it was gonna be a great year.
I started a franchise. I'm playing through every game. Uh,

(31:12):
and then I didn't touch it for the last two
months because things have been so bad for the Range.
I busted the hat back out. We're fully back in
on the Rangers. I'll get to that in a minute.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
But a washing machine or something Friday night.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
We this is a gift and a curse situation. So
I realized one of like our go to neighborhood bar,
I'll pop in there when STEP's out of town and
I'll you know, work on the laptop. We're always there.
But I do like after the show tonight, I'll probably
end up there doing the you know, post production editing

(31:47):
stuff like that. And so because of that, they have
hooked me up with their actual employee Wi Fi. Oh yeah,
so I'm not on the guest with all of our
confidential and all of.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
Give me the one that controls the credit cards.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
So that's where I'm getting at. I probably have access
to the credit cards too, and I didn't realize it.
But the one thing I did realize Friday night, I
have I have control of their music now.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Oh the skip buddy.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Friday night, it was nothing, but I heard I heard
Britney Spears toxic. Then I heard a Gwen Stefani song,
and then there was one more it was like a
Katie Perry song, and I was That was when I
told stuff. I was like, well, let's just see, like,
let's just see if I can do anything about this.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
I was the guy that would walk up to the
jukebox and knew that there was a button behind it
where they skip it just skip, and I just walked
by and just skip and just turn around and be like,
don't play that again. So it got it got turned.
I was doing well, but then I flowed. They played
a song twice, or they played a double barbie that
was like during the bar bit song, yeah, they were friends.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Or if you're getting up there, you're playing what was
the big musical last year? This wicked if you're playing
like Broadway stuff, now we're skipping that.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
So I flew too close to the sun.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
My music was getting rave reviews, and then I kind
of forgot about my audience and I got a little
as the night for I got tips, and then I
just started throwing on like Turnpike, Cody Jinks, a bunch.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Of just.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, backwoods redneck country, and instantly they were like, no, no, no,
you're done.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
You gotta stop now.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
So that was Friday night, and then I don't know
which was worse getting cut off from my DJ duties
at the bar Friday night or Saturday. My buddy, I
got a buddy here in town that I grew up with.
He's actually shout Out Brennan. He's the he was the
officiant at the roommate and I's wedding. It's just a

(33:52):
hometown buddy of mine. But he he met Steph when
he went to Tech and I was at McMurray and
Abilene and so I would, uh, you know, drive up
from McMurray, from Abilene to Lubbock to hang out with him.
That's how I first met stuff, uh, and then ran
into her like six years later on Sixth Street but
he very much so as we had there's a picture

(34:16):
of this. I think I still have it public on Facebook.
We had literally just branded my buddy Kylie's ass earlier
in the day with a Texas from from from my
other buddy's ranch, like had literally branded his an. So
he's just all on Sixth Street all night, just like, hey,
you want to see my ass and show it. It worked.
He's a good he's a snowboard instructor. He was this

(34:38):
guy just perfect magnet for the ladies to flock to us,
and then I'm going.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Wasted, so I ran into stuff.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Anyway, So Saturday night, my buddy who married us, he's
got a couple of kiddos now, one of them turned three,
and they were hosting his party at a restaurant with
a playground and everything. Well Charity Bar right there in
the neighborhood, and so we popped over. I didn't think
anything about it. We pop over and the only people

(35:11):
we know there are my buddy and his wife, and
we don't have kids.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
So like one too many times.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
It's this guy, it's this look. As I'm walking in,
I'm like, I'm here for the kids party, and they're
all just like.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
They're all in polos and khakis and stuff. Was there.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
We broke through the ice, but there were a couple
of times where like even to the point of where
like one guy told his kid, He's like, no, no, no,
come play, come play over him.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Don't bother him, don't bother him. Yeah, don't don't get
too close to him.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Let me tell you a story. Let me tell you
about Kenny. You know, when I was your age, I
saw Kenny Rogers throw a perfect game.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
It was cub Scout night. Yeah, as I've got my
ranch water in.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
American spirit, just hanging out off my lip as I'm
telling them the story of Rusty Griers diving catch. So yeah,
that was a bit awkward, but we powered through. Happy Birthday.
His kids off best kids' names I've heard in forever.
First of all, we're DFW kids.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
So as long as it's not Gunner or chat or no, no, no, Aiden, Aaron,
keep going, man, Let's see if you get I'm thinking
of all my kids like best friends.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
It was Aideny was.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Real popular for a while, but there was a lot.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Of A's in that. It was like Aiden and then
so he.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Has three kids, his friends, he's got and I confuse
them all and he's like, you've known him since I
was in middle school.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Man, I'm like, yeah, but I'm not waking them up
for school everything. I can't help, you know, my buddies,
Uh Dirk in honor.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Of yeah, nice Dirk, obviously dirty Dirk and the Ford
Ford Pretty great. It was pretty great, pretty great, pretty
great kids name.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
No, if you want to name your kid after a
shitty truck.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Well or or after the nineteen sixty nine I think
actually no, I think it was a seventy one uh
Boss four twenty nine that his dad had growing up,
So it was in honor of his dad.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
But no, go ahead, it was It wasn't for Oka
of the Broncos.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
No, it wasn't for House, it wasn't for creoj go
o J. Yeah, this is ac I got juice in
the back. I'm sorry, sir, excuse me? Who are you?
This is alcohol? You know who I am on the TV?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
You know who I am GD it like it's uh
that's still. I say that all the time to the
roommates when like I'll catch her off guard and she's like,
what do you say? Like you heard what I said?
Still holds up Uh no, Like I said, outside of
the random excursions out of the house, it was a
lot of baseball. So let's talk a little bit of it.

(37:58):
Mentioning Rangers are six games over five hundred. We had it,
what was it last week where I told you they
were two games under five hundred or two games over
five hundred for the first time since May eighteenth was
the date.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
So they're hot.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
We are now six games over and it has nothing
to do with momentum. It just has to do with
literally scoring more than three runs. The only game they're
eight and one since the All Star break, the only
game they lost was a two to one game.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
So they're I want to talk to professional athletes. I want, like,
I want a professional athlete to come in here or
coach or anybody and explain to you that momentum is
a thing.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
So I think the professional athlete would say, yeah, it
doesn't mean it whatsoever because I'm just gonna keep shooting
and eventually they're gonna go in. And then the coach
would say, oh, yeah, no, it was the time out
I called that stopped their moment. No, it wasn't. It
was your athletes that actually just played better. It's not momentum.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
We're not doing this again. We're not doing this again.
Oh like every coach is the kicker and and what
and I'm sorry, what are the percents on that actually working?
It doesn't. No, it doesn't.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Then why they keep doing it?

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Because they're idiots.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Because the football coaches are the last coaches of any
sport to evolve. That's why you still had Cowboys drafting
running backs in the top five and get it, a massive.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Content just compares.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
That's why you have the Falcons draft.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Did you have a good good draft? Picks to the Cowboys?
The Cowboys drafted the running back. I just wanted to
bash the Cowboys because we are we do have.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
We're gonna start doing Cowboys notes each episode as well.
But no, the baseball, they're eight of nine since the
All Star break, now tied with Seattle for the third
wild card spot, but more importantly, only four games behind Houston. Now,
poor Astros fans, here's a fun one for you. I
don't know about tonight, but the last eight teen games,

(40:01):
the Astros have been the second team to score. They
have had the opponent score first in the last eighteen games.
And that that's how you go from disaster. When the
Rangers were forty three, forty three and forty seven, the
Astros had an eleven and a half game lead in

(40:22):
the division over Texas. Texas is now fifty six and
fifty and the division lead is down to four and
that's that eighteen game.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
I'm a Ranger fan, come on, come on, Rangers.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Look, I think even as from you now now, they're
not selling now the I think Astros fans would even
tell you like they have. I think they've had eighteen
eight seventeen, eighteen, nineteen guys go on the IL, nineteen
different guys go on the IL at some point this season.

(40:56):
It's like they have a they could almost field an
entire view of feel your twenty five men roster. Just
on the guy.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
You guys back. We're not getting our guys back when
we do he does, he's just giving up. Man.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
I didn't even talk about a bullpen having like a
ninety r A right now.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah, well you mentioned bullpen and potential Rangers moves. Still
need a high leverage reliever. They don't have a closer
in the bullpen. The bullpen's been solid, but still need
that high leverage guy. Kind Of like when they went
out and got uh Chapman or Ross Chapman in the
World Series run year.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Need a guy like that.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
They don't have a guy that can break a hundred
out of the bullpen. And then kind of what every
just about every team right now needs, they need a
right handed.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Bat really more of a power bat.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Yeah mentioned Suarez going he got popped in the hand
with a fastball earlier. So the best, the most attractive
batage in.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
The And like I, you know, of course as a
Yankees fan, I wanted to swear as so bad, but
like McMahon, just seeing him play defense because that's what
we needed. He made incredible plays and he was actually
an All Star two years ago and got a contract
extension because he was batting like to seventy two eighty

(42:24):
matched about thirty home runs, Like he was a legitimate
All Star third baseman, gold glover.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
And if he can get.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
That confidence back and he's he's a lefty, so short
porch Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
You see that a lot with guys that were you know,
maybe fringe all Star level and then they have a
down year and then the next year get moved at
the deadline for super cheap and end up having a
mini career revival.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Oh yeah, DJ LeMay exactly got him in. He was
a batting champion in Colorado and then then he started
going down and then be traded for him and he
was came a batting champion and the Yankees the only
person ever have a batting title in two in both leagues.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
And now y'all still only what like thirty eight million dollars.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
He was a great We love you, DJ the machine.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
That's the beauty of being the Yankees. You can just
eat that money. No, I we're three days away from
the trade deadline, so I think on Wednesday we've seen
a couple of trades trickle through, but no big ones yet.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Yeah, nothing huge yet, No, but it's coming. I will say, like,
who was the starter, because there's so many teams in
Tampa traded their ace.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
I missed that.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
I saw Paddock move from the Twins to the Ace.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
But I know it was like their their starting starter
pitcher and he went to Milwaukee. I don't know the name,
but that's the only one.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Oh I didn't, Danny Jansen, Yeah to the Brewers.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Okay, yeah, so the Brewers. I'm trying to make a
move they're trying to get that because.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
It's still not a name will see a bigger because
guess whose.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
Diar throne is the Detroit Tigers. They are coming back
to Earth.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
The problem is they have no competition in that division.
I think they still have a I just looked at it.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
I have it on a tab.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Still have an eight and a half game lead over Cleveland,
but also Cleveland. Another guy, Emmanuel class Class, a former
Rangers farm hand prospect who became a stud closer for
the Indians or Guardians. I'm already getting I'm already getting
ready for the name changing.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Clause.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Uh, I won't get any money from the federal government.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
He's now on administrative leave because he's a being at
least investigated for.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
The with his buddy on the team with the gambling
that the part it wasn't was the prop bets.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Yeah, they and this is where how do you allow
prop bets for the first pitch to be a ball
or a That just feels like it's such a thing.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
It's like my dad, he was as like, as we know,
I'm sure we'll get into a lightning round all the
death said to happen.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
I was like, you know, there's a site where you
can bet on that, and he's.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Like poly market. Yeah, I was like, bet on anything
over or so I've.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Heard so, so you've heard so you betted.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Speaking of the Astros, though they had possibly the greatest game,
the greatest hitting game ever in baseball history, put up
against them this weekend.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
Oh, I love it.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Like it's I love it if it's not if going
six for six with four home runs, a double that
was close to a home run, and a single.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
It would have been a home run in like twenty
seven state.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
Majority of the stadiums, what was it, nineteen total bases
and eight RBI's, And we're talking about I'm gonna I'm
gonna start calling this dude, Nicholas. We're talking about the.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
Big Ama, the big Homish.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
That's a solidst like Nicholas Kurtz, the former top five
pick out of Wake Forest stud stud college kid.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Only rookie to ever to ever do that, to hit
four home runs in the game that doesn't in one
of twenty players. He's the twentieth player.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Do you remember when Sean Green randomly did it for
the Dodgers when he was on potentially on Remember when
there for a while.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Alex Rodriguez, when he probably was on some PD what.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Was well, when was that not? He was on the.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Miami High School He almost went for the home run cycle.
He was like, like if this guy got on because
he hit a grand Slam, he had a three run
home run and hit a single home run, so all
you needed was a two run home he hit a
All you needed was someone someone on base, and this
guy got caught stealing and he hits the fourth home run.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
I remember watching that game.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Like, why do you steal when this guy has a
chance to hit the cycle in home runs? Yeah? That's
I was like, I was, well, I mean that's amazing.
That's an amazing stash sure cycle home run.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
But it's more about trying to get the RB. I
like trying to get the RBIs that game? Yeah, it
didn't really matter. Do you know who the most recent
one was before Kurt. It happened this year and I
kind of already forgot about it, and I'll do you
one better now.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
It's not Raleigh.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
We've mentioned this guy at least three times already.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
Tonight oh Man.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Springer, no oh, Eugenio Suarez. He did it right after
the All Star Game. First week of the season back. Yeah,
it was hot early mid April l the diamond Backs
were actually going to be in contention in that division exactly.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Well, you know, they were still only two years removed
from a World Series World Series loss, although that World
Series continues to look more and more flucish for a
lot of reasons. But the Rangers were the second wild
card team and the al and the Diamondbacks were the
third wild card team in the NL.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
That's when that's I remember the controversy.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
That's why just just get into the postseason.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
That was the beginning. That wasn't that the first It.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Was the second year, I believe. I think it was
in the second year.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Yeah, I remember, they're all the controversy of like there's
too many wild cards.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Bring it back just the one wild card.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Look, I'm always of the belief I like playoff baseball.
So if you're gonna give me random three game series
to start the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
I don't mind.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Kind of in I don't mind it, but it's the
one game one and done the first one.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
It needs to be a series. Baseball is all about series.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
That's the thing.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
We're not getting best of three.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
The best teams aren't going to regularly win the World
Series anymore at all. And that's streaky streaky.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
That's another for That's.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Why Europe has it better in their professional soccer leagues,
where there's no playoffs. It's just the best team at
the end of the season is the champion. You either
want that or give me the chaos of.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
The playoffs, like three weeks before the end of it,
and you already know you want it.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
All, especially when someone's dominant. No, that's why I'm saying always,
I still take the chaos of the playoffs where a
team like the So are they.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Gonna do that?

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Champions? Are they gonna do that? Like for Europe that
europe European Cup every year? Is it gonna be like.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Every two or four years?

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Now, it's gonna be like the World Cup. It'll be
every four years, and it'll be the year before a
World Cup, so the next one would be what's that
twenty twenty nine, like one year.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
That's just like I've seen, Nah, give me playoffs.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah, always playoffs.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Elsewhere you did your whole Yankee minute and you didn't
even include Honestly, one of the only highlights from Yankee
Stadium this Weekend the highlights.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
Oh we what we beat Philly?

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Something was getting beat.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
LG. Do you have this? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (50:10):
Yeah, yeah, I was gonna let you set this one up. Yeah.
It uh, like most.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Things video, a lot of weird things happen in Yankee Stadium.
It's also the place where we had the guy turn
his hot dog Weenie into a straw to drink his beer.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
I saw grandma do that.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
See I had another like it was on thing, but
she did the hot dog straw. It wasn't that Yankee Stadium,
but like, yeah, it's a thing.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
It's not that uncommon play at LG.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
When you have it, Philly fans can't bring him anywhere.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Oh, you're blaming this on Philly fans.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Do you want to talk Philly fans?

Speaker 1 (50:46):
So, as we go through this, because he can't see it,
there's some giration happening.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
Tremble right now, legs of movies.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
I've done such a good.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Job to avoid having to label this one explicit.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
And something's happening like he's got like answer pants or something.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Yeah, there's a somethings itching the heads, leaning back a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
Oh, so.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
There's a second video early that we're not gonna show
that shows the culmination of their interaction.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
They're in the U give me I need I need that.
I just need that gift.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
No, the as Baby Billy. As Baby Billy.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Would say, there's some female dong pong being played there
in the upper deck of Yankee Stadium. Something's wrong.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Manna wash his hands well. Uh.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
In the second video he smells it and then God
takes a good lick of it. So that's how things
are going in the stadium this week.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
We're not kink shaming.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Just you know, they like they like to do the
you don't do that.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
We're not doing to do something public. Now.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
That's where we are shaming. Because they had they had
a bunch of area. They were in the upper deck.
There was a bunch of area around them. There wasn't
a kid like right next to me. How do you
know there could have been one right above them, right
above the people from I's thinking, I wish there was
one right in front of them.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
I'm thinking, Uh, I'm thinking those people have probably already
been alerted that they are probably not allowed.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
You don't see their faces. You you need that all
they'll track them down. The other guys, uh will Ferrell's
app the back face.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
You don't think they have CCTV all over that stadium.
They saw them, they saw them walk to those seats.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Please give us an update on that story, New York Papers.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
I guarantee you.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
We get it on.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
I mean it's gonna be all over the New York Post,
the sports page they'll have. I can't wait to see
what the headline is.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
Oh buddy, the uh.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
It's basically like.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
The climax in Yankee Park today.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Was see be a headline writer. Now I'm excited. I'm
playing MLB the show again, the deadlines in three days.
It looks like we might have potential playoff baseball.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
Actually excited for the last fifty games.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Would you go back to like, go listen to a
show even bum for months.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Because as soon as soccer ended the Rangers, that was
when the started, Like that was when it really declined.
And I'm you know, just the like, I don't I
don't want to talk cowboys NonStop for two months, Like
the Rangers at least got to give me something. Well, actually,

(53:35):
we're gonna start a little weekly or daily I guess
with each show some Cowboys notes because we're not gonna
spend full segments on it, but there was some notes
to get to. Yeah, we'll start with the Tyler Guidon injury.
He left practice earlier today, first round tackle from last
year's draft, and immediately Rappaport tweets out cowboy his fear

(54:02):
that it's an A C.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
L tear.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
Yeah, which instantly season over. Obviously done. And for a
big man like that you could see in the replay
of the video he got rolled up one.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
I never wanted to play offensive line for that.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
For that reason, I cannot stand someone rolling up on
my ankle.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Especially him too. I mean he he would make both
of us look tin. He's like six seven, I mean
he is huge wise like he's he's a solid three.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
Me and him walking in the bar like they're they're like,
I'm the.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Little would throw you around like a row door.

Speaker 3 (54:39):
As he would, but like I could hold my own.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Good news though he would hold good news. He turns
out only has a broken bone, and it's only a
broken bone.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Uh not al tair.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Yeah, good news because now instead of losing a whole season,
it looks like four to six weeks depending on rehab.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
No surgery necessary, probably, I believe y'all have a early
buy this year.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Well, and just thinking about thirty eight days till opening
night as we sit here tonight, that's five weeks. Yeah,
that's five weeks and three days. So he's right in
the middle of that four to six weeks.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
So Jerry's gonna have him out there for the open day.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Not as bad as the other guard. The other lineman
they had get injured, Rob Jones. He ends up breaking
a bone in his neck in practice over the weekend.
That's two to three months. So he was brought in
as a depth guy, but was lining up rotating in
with the first team they've got, especially now with Jones

(55:48):
out considerable amount of time, Tyler Gotton not guaranteed to
be ready by opening night. I mean, we might be
back on a awesome Richards. Well, let's go combo. It's
gonna be that Thursday night game in Philly could be due.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
It could be.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
They're gonna get pushed around.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Very very very good possibility of that happened.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
But I did, like I did, like your what was
it y'all's new team drill that you did where you.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
Where they played ping pong against each other in the
locker room where they free throw shooting competitions and camaraderie.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
Thinking they were playing, Uh what was it? What's that?

Speaker 1 (56:28):
Uh? The oh Man Harry Potter game. They're all riding
around on broomsticks out there on the practice field. You know,
good job of your time, Dak Again, the line is
sad footage quiddage.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
They're all playing quiddage out there.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
I think they're I think I think fans have bet
them up to an eight and a half over under.
The keep giving me that. I'm glad I got the
under in early, because yeah, we shall see the.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
Good news playing quiddage though.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
That good news.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
That was a great video as a Niners fan, so
you know, not a Cowboys homer stating that just because
I want to hear your opinion on it. Jake ferguson
tight end get they get him locked up a four
year deal fifty two million. That sounds like a lot,
only thirty million guaranteed, and it slots him in as

(57:23):
the seventh highest paid tight end.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Yeah, I mean that's fair, that's value. That's good right there,
because he would be like, this is what he.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Gets, like thirteen mil.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
This is his third year, because he was supposed to
take over for.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Yeah, he had a down year last year, had the concussion,
missed like three four games.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
His first year he was great.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
He was Dalon, he was playing second to Dolon Bechultz,
and he actually had great. He had a great year,
and that's the reason why they let Dollon show in.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Ironically, he was looking for this kind of money.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
He was looking for a seventeen million year.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
Right, And I think if the Cowboys had thrown him
thirteen fourteen like they did Ferguson, I think think he
would have taken it, because he ends up he ends
up only taking If you remember, no one the market
was dry. Well k took the Kittle just got that.
He wasn't Kittle money. He took one year ten mil
to go to Houston to rebuild his value and then
he just signed a three year deal. But still it

(58:17):
combined less money than what Ferguson is now getting better.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
At the time, Schultz thought he was the second second
receiving option.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Whoever told him that needs to be fired as his
he was personal advisor because that.

Speaker 3 (58:31):
Look at the PPR numbers man at.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
That doesn't that doesn't mean he Schultz couldn't.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
See catches and there was Schultz with seventy, So.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Our tight ends just receivers now because Schultz was Ferguson
such a better blocker than Schultz. Schultz couldn't block any edge,
any outside backer across Travaire.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
He's a great blocker.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
I think he's way better than Dalton Schultz, and I
think the stats show Dalton Schultz was one of the
worst blocking tight ends who has now gotten better in
Houston because I think he had. Again, when you have
to take a one year flyer deal, it humbles you
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
And some of some of the I mean Juno Smith
like he's a he's a catching tight end. They're like, definitely,
they're starting to perceive themselves as a tight end slash
w R.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Is Kyle Pitt's good at blocking? I don't, honest question,
I don't know, because when I think of him, I
think of him as they always they.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
Always line him out, you know, always break them away.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
It's a weird position nowadays where like you're honestly potentially
penalized if you're one of a better blocking tight end
but you still need them. You're not going to get
paid like he would years ago.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Three four defense with the d ND and the linebacker,
Like it's the Mica had this with you know, he like, yeah,
he's they want to be a line back, but he
wants to be considered a d n because you're geting
a lot more money.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
The first one was, uh, wasn't it a third leg?

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
Greg?

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
When Greg Olsen got franchise tagged and he as appeal
to the NFLPA. They fought on his behalf and then
they ended up losing the case, but they settled. He
got paid more than he would have on the tight
end franchise tag because the team was like, look, dude,
we're not giving you receiver franchise tag money, but we'll

(01:00:23):
give you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
A little more.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
I think he got like three four million more than
what he would have.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
I think the franchise was like five or six million
for a tight end.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
At that time.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Yeah, because it hadn't the contracts hadn't exploded yet.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Yeah, Kelsey didn't get paid.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
Kittle didn't get paid.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
The great Jeremy Shaki should have got Like, imagine Jeremy
Shaki and modern day NFL offenses.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
He's a slumming in with his like only seven million
dollar contract.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
You know, I just have such a romanticized version of Shaki.
He might might not actually stack up as well as
I remember. The only other thing Cowboys wise before we
get into our main so you you even mentioned it
up or brought it up, mentioned it before the show fans.
Saturday was the first day where fans could fully be

(01:01:11):
there for the whole practice. And of course, just like
last year, we've got a major contract. Last year it
was a holdout. This year, at least it's a hold in.
So Micah could hear what the fans were yelling at
Steven and Jerry.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
All day, and Jerry's response was Jerry esque to the completion,
and they.

Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
Were a lot louder for CD. Yeah, like short, like
he's sticking.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Because he calls him Micah Parson because it's still ongoing negotiation.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
Tell me what's worse, pissing them off? What's worse? Jerry
saying that that it was louder last year for the
defendor or Steve this weekend when asked about the chance
uh pay Micah the fans were chanting at practice. Stevens
quote was we want to pay Micah too, but he

(01:02:10):
has to want to be paid.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Yeah he has, he had, I mean he could go,
he can go the franchise, like, of course, are they
gonna like He's like, well, I'm gonna test the market now.
You know, he can always say that, but he's not
gonna say it now because if they franchise him, I mean,
he's still gonna get like what almost forty mili. Like
he probably's almost gonna get four thirty seven mill.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
When you're as good as Micah likes level Top.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Five contracts, Bosa, TJ Miles, what you gonna call it?
It should be Hendrickson coming up if he ever.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
If it gets done.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Yeah, like he should get like thirty seven thirty eight
mil if he gets franchised.

Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
So just be like, franchise me.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
But see, and that's the thing when you're as when
you're that level of player, you don't mind getting the
franchise outside of the security of the terms length. But
you know that's just increasing your year to year profitabilding.

Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
That animosity in a in a.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Spiteful like person with a podcast that's very popular. Man. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
Top five just in average annual average compensation Miles Garrett
forty million, Danielle Hunter Texans thirty five and a half mil,
Max Crosby thirty five and a half mill Raiders, Nick
Bosa Your Boy thirty four, and then Josh Heinz Allen
actually comes in fifth with the Jags a couple I

(01:03:40):
mean at least one million, probably get thirty five mil.
I would think, I mean, Mike's holding out for forty.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
There's no question, no question, and I think Jerry's not.
Jerry's looking at you know, Crosby Bosa thirty five and
a half thirty four million and thinking of that than forty.
But I think at the end of the day it'll
end up being closer to forty than either one of those.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
But the on the Stephen aspect of it, yeah, he
is all. Steven also said in the State of the
Team address that Jerry doesn't talk to the agents anymore,
that he does so like any hope of and not
that there was hope to begin with, but any hope
that things would ever be different under Steven than they

(01:04:27):
are Jerry. Steven's already running the same playbook as Jerry,
and it's we were a couple of years ago when
DeMarcus Lawrence wanted to rework, he was talking to Steven.
He didn't like the answer he got from Steven, so
he ran to Jerry and the two of them ironed
out a deal. I think Steven's not gonna get a
deal done with Micah's agent. Micah and Jerry will get

(01:04:49):
a deal done. It'll be a terrible deal for the Cowboys,
but at least Micah will be locked in long term.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
This strategy just gives Micah. That gives the player a
thousand percent more leverage. It just gives us earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
It's so so bad. But but you know what it
doesn't provide. So they did, Uh it's a diggy zooas
deal back at the end of the season around the draft.
They didn't do Micah. Then they didn't do CD at
draft time last year because if they do that, then

(01:05:28):
ESPN isn't spending three segments every hour talking about the
Cowboys training camp.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
Now they will.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
And Stephen A was going off blasting Steven earlier. It
gives him a platform, a pedestal, gives him something to
rant about the Cowboys for and that's what Jerry wants,
which is why keep talking about We have spent way
too much time talking about it. Let's get into the
main segment where.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
Wait a minus my mic going out, Well, the camp
god jee is the cameras.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
Oh my god, that is the cameras going out. Oh no, oh,
I think we're coming back in. We're coming back in fuzzing.
It's still got fuzz. Oh. And now we're here where
the sun shines on the West Coast, one of the best,

(01:06:26):
where the where winds coming out of all time high
styles fresh, the sun be shining, the glasses be cool.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
I can't see ship right now between not being able
to actually see without like this.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
What is this is beautiful?

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
But I feel like coach Prime is beautiful without the
bladder and get to cancer free Prime. Oh man, we
are talking NFC West.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
I know I've been looking for for this week for
a while because NFC West Tonight obviously highlighted by your team,
the Niners. NFC East Wednesday night highlighted by Cowboys. So
this is going to be This is gonna be a
fun week of main segments. So I'll start as I
always have, and then I'll turn it over to you.

(01:07:20):
We'll start with the Vegas predictions Niners over underwind totals
is what we've been starting with as we've previewed every
division so far, Vegas says Niners are the favorite ten
and a half wins over under, Rams second nine and
a half, Seahawks and Cardinals both eight and a half.

(01:07:43):
And before you go any further, that is the same
combined over under win totals if you take all four
teams in the division, that is the same exact over
under total as the NFC North. So the other great
the other greats Lions are ten and a half, Packers

(01:08:05):
are nine and a half, Tears and Vikings are eight
and a half. So Vegas views this division actually very
similar in terms of strength to the NFC North that
we talked about last week being a potential juggernaut.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Again.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
So with all of that said, tell me why San
Francisco is the favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
And we're gonna start with sam.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
When they went six and eleven last year. A. We
getting back pieces, A the offensive player, the offensive player
of the year back in just two years ago. Christian
McCaffrey full, he help like, full participant in practice.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
Is also healthy, twenty nine, twenty seven anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
That's that's a god amongst men. We've seen what happens
to them. We also have Isaiah Grendo backing them up,
which is a mini McCaffrey catches. He's got all the jukes.
He's got the speed, you know, the four to fourth speed.
We got Robert Solid back, which he had.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
A bunch of big plays for y'all. At the running
back you just mentioned, I forgot.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
I forgot.

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
We lost Jordan Mason to Green Bay.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
He popped a couple of times last year. Yeah, And
Grendo had the speed. He was a lightning versus the
thunder from Mason. And now we got McCaffrey and Grindo,
which both of them have the speed, catching ability and elusiveness.
We got Robert Solin defense. We signed some key players
we drafted. I think when the breakout stars in the draft,

(01:09:41):
two of them is going to pe Michael Williams Online
Nick Bosa says he's flabbergacid. His mouth has dropped on
some of the plays he's putting up. And then we
also got uh Osu Zone at linebacker who is replacing
Dre Greenlaw. And he's by my blank on his name,

(01:10:04):
oh Rodriguez the no.

Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
No, no, no no. That was the Lions.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
That was three years Ohio State.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
Yeah, let me pull my depth chart for Oklahoma staten
Oklahoma State. He basically he had last year he was
injured but the year before he was the Big twelve
Defensive Player of the Year and basically.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
He Nick Martin. Yeah, third round pick, Yeah Martin, Nick Martin.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
So he's got that side to side lines speed, he's
got the aggressiveness.

Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
So that's exactly what Greenlaw was. He had that speed.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
Especially he saw it during the Super Bowl in the
playoff run before he got tore his achilles running onto
the piece.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
That was such a freak injury.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
You know why it was a freak injury because we
had to play on a crappy practice field that was overwatered.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
That was sabotage.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
Sabotage the tell you tell myself that I think so
Nick Martin, we got the.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
Pick is potentially could be a guy that is the
name we remember and.

Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
Then wet Kevin Gibbons. This is his uh.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
This is kind of we went deep c J Ward,
Kevin William, Kevin Uh Gibbons in our defensive.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
Uh tackle spot.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
That's where we really like we were one of the
last people on the run.

Speaker 3 (01:11:31):
Last year.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
We couldn't stop the run, We couldn't get to the
quarterback as hard, you know, so having solid comeback to
hype those people up to teach them everything. Nick Boast
is healthy. We have dom d. I mean his first
name always kills me. Dem Almamador Lenore.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
Oh yeah, I say that fast.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
We locked him down last year on a three year contract,
and he's a top five cornerback ready to be number one.
If you look at his stats and the catch like
nobody's like on he goes. He plays against the best
receivers and none of them got over one hundred yards.
I think the only one close was CD Lamb. We

(01:12:14):
got like ninety five yards, and he's a lockdown receiver
and he'll he'll follow those people.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
We're just we.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
Got our death back Mustava coming off injury. We're gonna
he's gonna play Uphunga, who we lost to Denver, which
I think is gonna be the best defense in the league.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
Do you think the brock Purty extension provides him any
level of like, Okay, now it's back to football. It's
not playing with the pressure of a concret that contract.

Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
A roommate he was, he was roommating with somebody, you
know what I'm saying, because he was only making a
million year. Yeah, did he even top a mill Yeah?
Stay under that's what the agent taxes like he was man,
he was making probably out there minute like the regular
salary for you know, was but they're in San Francisco,

(01:13:07):
but not really, they're in Santa Anna, you know, Silicon.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
Valley, Santa Clara.

Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
One hundred being full confidence the Niners win this division
this year. Zero percent being obviously no confidence.

Speaker 3 (01:13:22):
Where are we at eighty eight? Really high?

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
I'm high because as we like to call it, Levi
South at Sofi Stadium, we get home field advantage in there,
and that is playing the Rams, which is are the
only people that I am worried about in this division.

Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
You got to rebuild up in Seattle.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
And you got Kyler Murray and you know down there
in Arizona, which you know, he's more important with playing
cod than playing football.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
At this moment, they still scored the most points per
game of any team in the division, though last year
with him horrible defense focusing on uh no, so their
defense was we'll talk about the Cardinals defense surprisingly better
than it was on paper. The Niners defense though you
mentioned Robert Sala coming back, That to me is huge.
That's the architect of y'all's def What was he the

(01:14:13):
twenty seventeen through twenty one.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Yeah, before he was there for three years. Yeah, three years.
He was during like he was during our run when
we first got Nick.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
Bosa twenty seventeen to twenty twenty, I added a.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
Year three years, so he was he basically built that
team to be the defensive juggernaut. Once Patrick Willis and
Bowman both left and I were retired, and in our
special teams was the worst in the NFL. So that
was we gotta revamped our whole special team, fired everybody.

(01:14:46):
That was another note. I had the special.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
Teams only numbers made the all's team numbers look way
worse than they were because as a team, you gave
up the eighth least amount of yards. Yeah, but the
special teams numbers led to more points being scored against you.

Speaker 3 (01:15:03):
Because they had a better field position.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
And you were twenty ninth than points allowed. I saw
that earlier and then I because I was trying to
figure out, I was like, how does a team that
is top ten and yards allowed the special teams? It
was special teams and it was also uh after from
week nine on last year, from week nine to the
end of the regular season, y'all only had two turnovers.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
You only uh, you.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Know, got two turnovers. As a defense only forced two turnovers.

Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
So again we were just riddled with in Joli being
back should Yeah, we're gonna be ball hawking and on
like go back to offense. We finally got depth in
our wide receiver room. I have that on my notes.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Are you sure about that? So convinced me that what
I'm looking at on that depth chart actually shows depth
because I see three names and then I see a
lot of question marks, and I don't see a true
number one among any of the names.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
If we go back two years, Ayuk was a true
number one threat, but it was Christian McCaffrey getting all
the attention because he was putting up ridiculous numbers. Granted,
Offensive Player of the Year should have been MVP, you know,
but that's a QB award. We all know that it's
gonna be Ayyuk runs right, one of the best route runners.

(01:16:26):
Hands like, his hands are ridiculous. He goes and makes
the blocks when the other team when like it breaks
the holes and that's why McCaffrey got cleared down the field.
He doesn't quit on the plays, just like Juwan Jennings
who we paid. No more conflict on that. He's not
getting seven million, he's getting seventeen million, you know. Like,
so he's happy he's in camp. Ricky Purcell, he's a

(01:16:50):
second guy. Piersall, the boy that got shot as he
was doing the signing for fans. Yeah, the true gangster
in there. Man, he's gonna he's gonna have a breakout
if he starts getting going. These are all dogs. And
here's the sneaky one, the Marcus Robinson because he.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
Hardy loves him. I was reading about that earl. Guys
making money.

Speaker 1 (01:17:10):
Had to play behind Tyreek Hill in Kansas City, and
then he also had to play behind Pooka and Cooper
in LA. He's gonna get time because I don't think
is going to be fully healthy in the beginning.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
No, I had not. The Mark probably misses the first
couple of games.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
And this guy has been lighting up in camp.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
And by the way, if you have seen, like if
you seen pictures of rock Party, he's got his thighs
have doubled in size.

Speaker 3 (01:17:41):
He's got Jalen Hurt style thighs. Right now.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
This dude worked out. His arms are twice as big.
He's working on that deep ball, because that was always
his main thing, his touch, his reading to the phil
Field elite, it was his deep ball that always got
him in trouble.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Only all of that being said, yeah, I still don't
think that wide receiver room is top ten, and I
don't think brock Perty's top ten. I think they're both.

Speaker 1 (01:18:11):
That second tier outside of that, which scares me.

Speaker 3 (01:18:14):
I politely disagree which one with which one?

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
You think Party's top ten?

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
I think, oh yeah, oh yeah, I do know he was.
He was in the running for MVP two years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
Okay, Dak finished second for MVP two years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
That's so therefore, do you think I don't think Dank's
top ten?

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
No, Well, because Dak can't do it in the playoffs
and Party can. So there's that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
I mean, what one one playoff run?

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
I mean, it's just I'm not sure that immediately puts
he had.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
He had two playoff runs where he would have beat
the Eagles, but he had that arm thing and we
didn't have.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
A quarterback when he got hurt.

Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
So he had two playoff runs.

Speaker 1 (01:18:55):
But again one was a Super Bowl run, the other
one was an injury right before the Super Bowl. NFC
championship game top the Eagles put a space. The Eagles
lost against who was it? It wasn't It wasn't Kansas City,
Like they lost this who won that year?

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
What was that one?

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
Uh? It was some weird like hmmm, I am blanket
on that one. Not Pittsburgh or Tampa.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
That's right, No, because it was the Tampa Mahomes, wasn't it?

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Yeah? No, but that it was Eagles, Eagles, was the NFC?
Maybe it was Kansas City?

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
It was it was Kansas City won thirty it was.

Speaker 3 (01:19:42):
So I mean, like winning dout. Just pick Kansas City
in AFC, Like yeah, dude, Like you don't think we were.

Speaker 1 (01:19:51):
We were handedly working then until that injury, you know,
and we had a rookie tight end on their best
pass rusher, which you know we ain't gonna do that again,
you know. So like, yeah, I'm just looking.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
I'm going I pulled back up this top ten list
that ESPN had put out about the quarterbacks, and.

Speaker 3 (01:20:09):
They have pretty over dag. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
I'm just I'm like, I don't think Purty is better
than C. J. Stroud And that's the first name outside
of the top ten, just in terms of which one
of those quarterbacks in the exact same situation.

Speaker 3 (01:20:27):
What's strowd done?

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Well, I just think he's more talented quarterback, is what
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Like just raw I geel like he has the elusive
He doesn't. Parker's pretty better than Baker.

Speaker 3 (01:20:39):
Yes, hands down, hands down?

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
How can hands down? Hands hands down?

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
On the wall.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
He led a defense and run game, led team to
a super Bowl by being a game manager.

Speaker 3 (01:20:54):
He wasn't. He was number one in yards.

Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
Like, if you want to get go back and look
up the real stats at the average air yards. He
was number one. When everybody thought he was a check
down quarterback. He was like he was like his people,
I was like, what's the rating ppe PPF rating Yeah,
qbr no qbr.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
He was like top three.

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):
He was number two or number three in pps yeah,
qbr PF right. His he was number one through five
and almost every statistic and he was number one in
a bunch of them. It was ridiculous and he should
have got more shine, but they didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
He's thrown for more than ten just looking at the
stats now, he's thrown more than ten interceptions each of
the last two years. The efficiency rating is not there
compared to the guys that are in the top ten.
I mean, I don't think there's an argument, but I
don't think it's as crystal clear that brock perty is
for sure. And that's the better argument than the wide receiver.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
Rooms the most hate out of any quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Have you met Dak Prescott?

Speaker 3 (01:22:02):
He deserves it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
Okay, So the guy who's actually finished top to in
m v P.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
The guy who serves been.

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
To the NFC Championship two times. I let his team
with that when it went to the Super Bowl. That
that when he was down against Detroit and when he
was down eleven or against Green Bay and he had
to lead his team back to win those games.

Speaker 3 (01:22:30):
Yeah. Like, the only thing that's questionable on this.

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
Team right now is Jake Moody. We're bringing him back hopefully.

Speaker 2 (01:22:40):
Do you think kicker is going to be the only
thing that holds the Niners from unlocking another Super Bowl run?

Speaker 3 (01:22:47):
Oh? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
Man, I look at this roster from an unbiased the
last the last, the last Super Bowl. I'm high on it,
but I see a lot of.

Speaker 3 (01:22:55):
The last Super Bowl. What did what did uh? Pay?

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
Patrick Mahan had to go down the field and score
into a two point conversion to tie us to go
into overtime. You know what happened on that Super Bowl
as well.

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
Moody missed the field goal, missed an extra point, which
is a thirty eight yard field goal, now, right something.

Speaker 3 (01:23:15):
So tell me that kickers don't matter. They do?

Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
Oh no, they definitely, I mean, and the weapon on
the roster is a slipping kicker, like.

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
Trading your kickers. And I'm like, super Bowl all the way.

Speaker 1 (01:23:28):
Yeah, I'm going to be I'm going to be the
cowboy of the Niners where it's like it's our you.

Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
Okay, well, then let me ask you this. Do you
have so you're incredibly high on the Niners despite some
obvious rocket We do have easy That was where I
was going, You have the easiest schedule.

Speaker 3 (01:23:44):
So yeah, we can give me one of those other
schedules that we talked about in one of the things.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
I'm like, yeah, questionable, we got to play that. We've
got to play Baltimore.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
And since so the three teams that Vegas views, y'all
in the same class as Yeah, Philly eleven and a
half over under, Minnesota ten and a half, and then
y'all ten and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
Over.

Speaker 2 (01:24:08):
At the end of sure, I actually agree with you.

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
I think the Niners eleven wins should be easy. I
think easy because the division. I think we're gonna get
thirteen to fourteen wins. Okay, So that's my question.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
Are out of those three teams, Philly, Detroit, San fran
who's the one seed, who's the three seed?

Speaker 3 (01:24:28):
Three seed is gonna be Arizona?

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
No, no, I mean out of the three bet out of
Philly Detroit or you like one seed and three seed
in the whole NF seed because that's what Vegas is
telling us that those are the three.

Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
I think Niners are shooting for one because of strength.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
Of sched because of the easy schedule. That's what I
actually have that in my notes right here. Because easiest schedule,
and you compare that to what Philly has to play.
I think there's a better chance that Philly is the
three seed or Washington wins the division and you are
Detroit are the one seed, And I think it'll be

(01:25:04):
y'all because Detroit replacing both offensive and defensive coordinators. But
I'm just the quick rush to annoint this as a
super Bowl team coming off the six and eleven season.

Speaker 3 (01:25:16):
The last what's the quick rush when we.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
Had and all of the lost guys, the guys, the
guys that have left the building that you mentioned, The
fact that you're relying on eleven rookies that probably are
all going to make the roster and you have to
have an instant impounder doesn't normally happen in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
And you know what Robert Sala did with the group
of rookies in twenty seventeen led them to be one
of the best defensive defenses in the league.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Well, that's what I was saying. I think Michel Williams
might actually be the stud of the draft because he
gets to be coached by Robert Sala. Now exactly what
was the he was what y'all have the eleventh because
Cowboys had twelve? Yeah, yeah, and he was the first pick.
So or they're all we had twelve y'all. No, No, I
think we twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
I remember for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:26:01):
Yeah, yea, because y'all picked right before us when we
were watching it, uh, when we were talking about it,
when we were talking about who we want. Because I
kept saying, y'all are going to take someone that Dallas
could have used.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
Yeah, I look, I'm not going to argue against you.
That you're not one of the three best teams in
the NFC. But as we work our way through the
rest of this division, I'm not so sure.

Speaker 2 (01:26:27):
The Rams aren't easy pushover. I'm Seattle clearly is the
one that I think could crater. I think Arizona Arizona
Gannon has doubled their win total every year he's been there.
Now in year three.

Speaker 3 (01:26:42):
Last year they wins.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
Three to six.

Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
But that's still and the numbers actually again again it's
you get the number like two to three pick and
they picked the progress.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
Larry fitz Jaf, I thought you believed in momentum.

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
I think that's that's year to year momentum.

Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
Well, this is the second year, so he should win
twelve this year, he's got to double again. He's going
to double it again.

Speaker 3 (01:27:09):
Yeah, that's that's how it works.

Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
Oh, I thought we were. I thought that's how momentum.

Speaker 3 (01:27:14):
If they have some momentum, that they'll be scary.

Speaker 2 (01:27:17):
I think Cardinals went from two wins to four wins
to eight wins last year.

Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
The Cardinals did doubling. They did focus on the draft
defensive again this year on the draft, so that is scary.
But do they have someone to coach them up the young.

Speaker 2 (01:27:31):
That's very questionable. We'll talk about that. Yeah, Cardinals, their
first five draft picks were on defense. But uh, let's
go with the second predicted second team in the division.
LA Rams won the division last year at ten and seven,
actually tied with Seattle, but where the division winners because
of the tie break. It's a lot of it's a

(01:27:54):
lot of questions about how much do the old faces
still have left? How much does Stafford have They bring in, uh,
what's his name, Davante Adams, how much does he have left?

Speaker 1 (01:28:06):
They're still from selling out to win that one Super Bowl? Yeah,
the pis, Yeah, we're trading every you know, and Aaron
Aaron Donald leaving, you know, that's just man.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
Their big addition was the signing of a former ut kid,
Puna Ford, who one of the best names in all
of sports.

Speaker 1 (01:28:31):
Ever.

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
They the Rams were awful last year. Where I have
it in my notes.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
The the Rams gave up.

Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
They played Philadelphia twice last year, so again comparing the
upper echelon of y'all's division to the upper echelon of
the NFC. Rams played Philly twice last year, give up
five and ninety nine rushing yards in those games and
immediately go out sign poon Afford to the big deal,

(01:29:04):
just a giant gap eating run clogger uh to fill
in on the defensive side. I think there is some
there is some world where the Rams are at least
pushing y'all through the back half of this schedule.

Speaker 1 (01:29:23):
I don't think it's going to be Rams. Like old
man Stafford, he was contemplating retirement, so let's still let's
see if a he holds up health wise, but he's
still an elite quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
I think that also gave him the leverage to get
that deal restructured too, though like A you know, guys,
I might retire.

Speaker 1 (01:29:41):
I've had a great life Highland Park, probably two kids.
This time I'll be Jerry Jones' neighbor again.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
And Trophy Club there and in Preston there in North Dallas.

Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
Matthew Stafford, he's.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
He was always good for one pick in the flag
that I was a little all saying with Stafford, He'll
get you three touchdowns, but he'll get you one pick. Yeah,
you know, And if we didn't drop that gimme pick.
The year they went to the Super Bowl, we would
have been hosting. We would have been facing the sin
sim We would have destroyed them that year. If we're fifths,

(01:30:18):
we'd all be drunk.

Speaker 3 (01:30:19):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:20):
But I love Kyrine Kyrine Williams. I have him on
my fans, my Dynasty league. I drafted him in like
half of my fantasy football leagues. He is a stud
running back.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Do you have any fear that they're going to cut
some of his touches to develop Blake Korum or they
have another speedster on the roster I had, I wrote
it down, Yeah, yeah, dark was Hunter. Yeah, because Williams
is in a contract year and the Rams haven't given
a running back of contract extension since the terrible contract

(01:30:57):
they gave Todd Gurley back in the day. Yeah, they
have continually said, look, you're on the last year of
your deal. We're cutting your touches in half, and we're
trying to develop the next guy. Because they took Korum,
the Michigan kid, in the third.

Speaker 3 (01:31:10):
Round, but Williams is still on a rookie contract.

Speaker 1 (01:31:13):
Last year.

Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
That was I think. I think he's going to be
fighting for touches.

Speaker 1 (01:31:17):
He's going to be in the room and he's he's
going to make utilize every touch that he gets, and
he's going to do work. The one edition that scares
the life out of me. Davante Adams.

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
Yeah again, how much do you think he like?

Speaker 3 (01:31:30):
Are we was he motivated to play in Raiders? Like?
Was he like?

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:31:35):
Was he motivated to play in New York with his
buddy Aron?

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:31:40):
No, I mean a Ron couldn't get it to him
because he was scrambling for his life. There is that,
you know what I'm saying. And Matthew Stafford, the one
thing is easy. You want to talk about game manager
and seeing the field, he's one of the best.

Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
He's got a rocket arm.

Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
They believe in Davante is still having something left because
they guaranteed him twenty six million. It was a two year,
forty six million dollar deal. Twenty six million guaranteed. That's
not cheap.

Speaker 3 (01:32:07):
They got two two hat Will which is the speedster
of the group, that's gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
Their pre signed him.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
Puka PPR Machine eleven catches, guaranteed a game. You know
that guy's But the only thing I like about Puka
is he said he's going to retire in three or
four years.

Speaker 2 (01:32:21):
To go play basketball in Europe. Yeah, that's what he said, yeah,
he's like have you seen any of the videos of
him hooping?

Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
No, he's dirty, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
He's dirty, like he's got like old man track not.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
Just no no, no, no, he can throw it like three
sixty dunk.

Speaker 2 (01:32:35):
Oh he's so athletic. I got like, it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:32:39):
You know a lot of times you see NFL players
playing basketball and you're like, oh, no, that's good for
an NFL player.

Speaker 3 (01:32:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
No, Puka looks like a mid major college stud player, so.

Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
He probably want to be he probably he wants to
be probably the first NFL player, elite NFL player.

Speaker 3 (01:32:54):
And then in the lead NBA player, or.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
He wants to see he I think his quote was
something like, I want to go play in Greece or
you know, somewhere on the Mediterranean, like in Italy or
somewhere just because he wants to live in Europe in
his in his thirties, because he just wants to tag
different European assorted European bron Oh my god, all across
the Mediterranean, which, hey, save your body. You don't want

(01:33:21):
to be taking shots.

Speaker 3 (01:33:22):
You don't be running across the middle game.

Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
Yeah, no, god no. But then they got Tyler Higbee.
If he lives up to what he used to be,
he's still a threat on the defensive side.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
This is their I kind of think Jordan Waiting one
more on the offense. I kind of think Jordan Winnington
might be a breakout for them. He was there were
the last like last three five games of the season
last year. He was starting to get more integrated, more touches.

Speaker 1 (01:33:49):
This is his second year, right, Yeah, and he uh
that's usually whenever you start seeing someone's growth is like
second year. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:56):
And they established himself the thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:33:58):
Year the way. Granted it was some of it was
out of necessity because of injury, but it seemed like
he was starting to be more just included and more
like had built more rapport chemistry with Stafford. I like
I like their I like that wide receiver room. If
DeVante Adams is.

Speaker 1 (01:34:20):
What I remember if I'm sitting there comparing them with
the Niners. Man in the defense, we got Leonor. He's
gonna try to lock down Pooka as much as he can,
which I.

Speaker 3 (01:34:29):
Think he has the best he can. Yeah, I think
he has the ability.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
To because I think he's gonna be a number one,
number two cornerback he's gonna be up there, he's gonna.

Speaker 3 (01:34:37):
Be talked about like Sauce Gardner and all them.

Speaker 1 (01:34:39):
No, I'm no, the numbers don't lie, and this is
like he is. He's crept up there, and like, I
guarantee you, we're gonna have to be restructuring his contract
next year after he has an incredible season. So that's
gonna be our next one. You know what I'm saying,
because that's that's what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:34:58):
With the Niners.

Speaker 1 (01:34:58):
We just have too good a talent and they are like,
we don't not enough money to go around.

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
No, go, no, no, I'm laughing at Leonore's coverage grade
according to PFF, he's not even top forty.

Speaker 3 (01:35:15):
He's not even top forty.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
No, his overall, Grady's seventieth. His coverage, Grady's forty first
look at run defense, which doesn't matter for a corner,
He's eighty second.

Speaker 1 (01:35:25):
Look up the stats of him covering the top top
the receivers last year.

Speaker 2 (01:35:32):
I would assume a lot of that was done against
So he is twenty fifth in snap count from last year.

Speaker 3 (01:35:39):
He played a lot twenty That's.

Speaker 1 (01:35:42):
That's good, That's that's something to be happy about.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
He stayed on the field a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
It's gonna be a water bottle thrown at your head.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
I just there just might be some overvaluing of some
of these.

Speaker 3 (01:35:54):
Leonor I'm just.

Speaker 1 (01:35:56):
But back to the Rams who played at three four D.

Speaker 3 (01:36:02):
They got a lot of young studs. You know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
Would you rather have their receiving room or yours?

Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
That's a tough one, is it, though?

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
Pookah Hookah or Pooka Hookah, Davante Adams or who do
you want to put second?

Speaker 1 (01:36:23):
It's got it if Davante's got yeah, I mean he's
got the skins on the wall. But the one thing
that the our receivers do.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
Who would you rather have Stafford or Party for one season?

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
For one.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
One of those guys is actually we won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (01:36:40):
We would have if we would have caught that in
the belly could touchdown Tart.

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
Well, then the Cowboys would have won it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:45):
Part I still remember his name, Heart.

Speaker 2 (01:36:49):
That would have been you would have just got.

Speaker 3 (01:36:51):
To the NFC Championship. You wouldn't have don't well.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
If we're extrapolating out with no evidence, yeah, we would
have won the Super Bowl if Dak hadn't snapped the ankle.
If it hadn't, it's been a cramp. It's very easy
to say.

Speaker 3 (01:37:03):
Back so back to there, which like back to the rams,
Like who would I rather had?

Speaker 1 (01:37:08):
Like technically, yes, on paper they have it, But I
still think Ayuk is a just a beast on the
route runner. They block for each other, and with Kyle
Shanahan's scheme with Christian McCaffrey and the throwouts and stuff
like that, where he relies on his receivers to block.
You know what I'm saying, George Kittle is can we

(01:37:31):
put him with the ride receiver room?

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
You know, definitely takes He definitely gives y' all the
tight end advantage over the rams.

Speaker 1 (01:37:38):
So like that's the whole thing is they all block
elite the rams.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
Problem is they it was two years ago they started
three and six. Last year they were one and four.
If they dig themselves a hole like that again and
y'all remain healthy, then I don't they won't be the team.
If any team pushes ay I think they.

Speaker 3 (01:38:00):
Could get ten wins. I think they could get ten wins.

Speaker 1 (01:38:02):
I think so too. Again, Vegas has nine and a
half strength to schedule.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
Y'all have the the four teams in the division have
four of the five easiest schedules, again according to projections.
According to predictions, the we've spent a lot of time
talking about the Rams offense. They were only twentieth in
points scored last season. So all of that being said,

(01:38:30):
they've got to see massive improvements like they need DeVante
Adams to.

Speaker 1 (01:38:34):
Be and was two years ago. Was Williams running the
ball in man? It was a it was a touchdown hawk.
And that's because Puka did start six games. You know,
that's the first games and once he came back, Cooper
Cup became a shell of himself.

Speaker 2 (01:38:54):
They also had, excluding y'all, because of the injuries, they
had the worst defense in the league. In the division
last year. Seattle and Arizona both allowed less points than
the Rams did, which is where the Punaford signing hopefully
shores up some of that defensive line. I'm i'm I

(01:39:14):
think there is a very real scenario, a very real
world where the Rams crater, where Stafford gets hurt. They
have Jimmy g Garoppolo as the backup. Even if Stafford
doesn't get hurt, if he lose, if Adams isn't what
he is or Puka gets hurt again. They were lying
on a running game, but they lost some offensive line pieces.

(01:39:35):
I think the Rams might not be the second place team.

Speaker 1 (01:39:39):
If they if Stafford's not there, absolutely not. They could
be the worst team in the like that could be gimme,
but you know who did. On a funny note, back
to the Niners, who's shining in camp for two days
just because party had to go for personal reasons leave camp?

Speaker 3 (01:39:58):
Mac Jones going.

Speaker 1 (01:40:00):
Oh yeah, I forgot y'all signed back the one we
should we should have picked besides old the Trey Lance. Now,
who was the other quarterback in that class? There was
one you.

Speaker 2 (01:40:11):
Weren't gonna you weren't gonna do Like you take either
one of those three guys, and you weren't gonna find
your friends.

Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
Mac Jones has been they said, he's been bawling out
like when he's like out there, like how good is
he holding a clipboard? Because that's all you need him
to do.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
That's all you need him to do. Let's burn through
the rest of the division real quick before we get out,
before we get to the lightning round.

Speaker 1 (01:40:34):
Let's go Seattle next.

Speaker 2 (01:40:37):
Since technically they tied for the division win or tied
for the division lead last year. A lot of change
in Seattle, a lot of Donald coming in, Geno.

Speaker 1 (01:40:49):
Traded to the Raiders.

Speaker 2 (01:40:50):
But as soon as they give Donald, he's only guaranteed
this one season. They haven't out in his contract after
this year, which is why you saw them draft Jalen Milroe,
the Alabama kid, in the third round.

Speaker 1 (01:41:03):
And he's gonna be on a short leash because if
they see him struggle, of course they're gonna throw him
in there and they're gonna tank exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:41:10):
And I think that's where you know Donald they do.
They are guaranteed to pay him thirty seven and a
half million this season, but they don't have any committed
money to him after this season. So the quarterback being
on a short leash, the way we saw.

Speaker 1 (01:41:28):
Donald crumble in the last and the last quarter of
the regular season last year in Minnesota, started to at
least show more. He started.

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
He also started getting sacked more. He's a statue. But
it's not like Seattle has a above average, top level
offensive line that he's walking into.

Speaker 1 (01:41:52):
But they've always they've always been a run first team,
you know, and.

Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
It's gonna be a lot of that. They brought in
Clint Kubiak, new often coordinator. Yeah, so you're getting full
focus on the run game.

Speaker 1 (01:42:04):
Guy Walker Kims Walker the third and sharbon Ay won
two punch. I like both, like I love Sharbonay's like
ceilings solid, he has a high ceiling.

Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
Neither top ten, top twelve guys in the league, but
both if they can both get fifteen carries, that's if
they both have fifteen carries a game, that is a
good game for them.

Speaker 3 (01:42:27):
You know, that's gonna be a solid game.

Speaker 1 (01:42:29):
If they have to rely on Sam Darnold where they
have Jackson Smith in Jigbajimba.

Speaker 3 (01:42:37):
I always get that, I didn't want to try it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
Well, that's like, that's like Nicholas Kurt. You gotta be careful.
You can get into trouble real fast there, especially on
Buffalo Soldier's day.

Speaker 3 (01:42:48):
Oh buddy, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (01:42:51):
Call it like he had a breakout season at the
end of last year he became he wasn't he a
number of first round here was a first round y.

Speaker 3 (01:42:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:42:59):
So he's a part of that vaunted Ohio state wide
receiver room. And let's see Cooper Cup comes out of
his shell. New team, you know, because he.

Speaker 2 (01:43:09):
Might have less in the tank than Davonte Adams. So
I mean that the Rams had a choice between the two.

Speaker 1 (01:43:15):
Yeah, and he just like I will never get over
because he was always he you know, he was a
PPR machine, touchdown machine. He won the triple the wide
receiver triple crown, you know, a couple of like four to.

Speaker 3 (01:43:29):
Three three years ago or four years ago. He was
a monster.

Speaker 1 (01:43:35):
But when Pooka came in, I think it just devoted,
like it just shattered him to be like, God, this
guy's just got a little more step on me. He's me.
He's exactly my prototype young athletic, better catch range.

Speaker 3 (01:43:51):
But Cooper with is a dog.

Speaker 1 (01:43:54):
He will make those blocks for you, which is something
that any kind of any run team wants to have.
And Marquez Valscan MBS, Marques Valscamp Scantley, He's just an
over the top guy for me. I don't like, you know,
unless unless the safety bid on something, that's all he's
gonna do.

Speaker 3 (01:44:14):
Yeah, you're not.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
You're maybe a big play, but you're not. He's not
gonna be a you know the line half a dozen't
target guy in an offensive game plan.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
They got they they they did the trenches in the draft,
So I will give him that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:28):
And we'll see again. You you invest in young offensive
line that usually takes a few years to see payoff.
On the other line, they brought in DeMarcus Lawrence, former Cowboy.
Actually gave him pretty decent money three year, forty mil
uh now d Law?

Speaker 1 (01:44:46):
I think d Law is thirty one, thirty one, yeah,
maybe turning thirty yeah, no, thirty three. So this is
his last big conference, thirty three in April.

Speaker 3 (01:44:57):
Man going to a rebuild team and getting that kind
of money.

Speaker 2 (01:45:00):
I think he wanted the money and and apparently him
and Micah weren't necessarily on the same page. And I
think d Law saw the writing on the raw on
the wall. This is Micah's defense now, and he's not
gonna have the ability to be that strong leader voice
that he had been his whole time in Dallas. The

(01:45:21):
speaking of the Seahawks defense, though after Week ten last season,
they were a top five defense in most categories in
most secondary secondary is nasty. It's led by the utsa kid.
Oh my god, the I'm blanking the six foot five
former receiver turned no Now's Witherspoon's the kid from Illinois

(01:45:47):
they drafted first round a pair on the other side,
cornerback safety corner.

Speaker 3 (01:45:54):
You got may Boy Maye and Woolan.

Speaker 2 (01:45:58):
Wolan Tyrek Wollen.

Speaker 3 (01:45:59):
Okayeah, they have it as I didn't. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah,
coach your name is.

Speaker 1 (01:46:06):
That's what Coach Traylor always referred to him as.

Speaker 2 (01:46:09):
Yeah, he Yeah. I like Seattle's defense. I like their
commitment to the run game, bringing in Koobiac. I if
Sam Donald continues the career revival and he's playing in
a more run heavy offense.

Speaker 3 (01:46:25):
And Donald had justin Jefferson and Jordan.

Speaker 2 (01:46:28):
That helps a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:46:29):
That helps a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:46:30):
And now he's looking at a potentially washed up Cooper
Cup and mvs.

Speaker 3 (01:46:35):
Yeah, but he's got Jackson.

Speaker 2 (01:46:38):
Would you rather right now if you were if you
didn't have Brock Purty, and I gave you the option
of you could either take Sam Donald from the Seahawks
or Kyler Murray from the Cardinals.

Speaker 1 (01:46:52):
You'd still take Kylie. Okay, just making sure, just making sure, but.

Speaker 3 (01:46:56):
He'd have that attitude change.

Speaker 1 (01:46:58):
I just thought, like, I don't see him being a
fit because that's Shanahan.

Speaker 3 (01:47:02):
Ain't taking that crap.

Speaker 2 (01:47:03):
I don't know Shanahan would Also, I think take the
talent and try to try and mold, try to put
exactly exactly, because it's not like y'all are you know
the Steelers where you just get rid of Le'Veon bell
Ab or George Pickens or any of these guys. Y'all
have had some dudes on the roster that have a

(01:47:27):
little bit of that wild ass and them eight and
a half on the Seahawks. Though, I think I go
under under. I think I go under, and I think
by the end of the season.

Speaker 3 (01:47:35):
I think I go under. But I go with seven
or eight.

Speaker 2 (01:47:38):
I think this whole division is right there at or nine. Yeah,
they're going to beat up on bad teams on the schedule.
They're going to get beat up by the division, I
think exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:47:50):
I think the division is going to beat them up there.
They're going to be the whipping boy this year.

Speaker 2 (01:47:53):
Yeah. Them in Arizona split, you know they're you're you loose,
You drop both to the Niners. All of a sudden,
you're one in three in the division and you, if
you are lucky, you split with the Rams and you
finished two and four in the division if you're lucky.
Other team, lastly, Cardinals, Yes, Cardinals. I have on my

(01:48:16):
notes here. I think the Cardinals might be the best
last place finisher in a division in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (01:48:25):
They underperform, like that's just like what they do. Man.
Kyler Murray, he always starts out hot and you're like,
oh my god, the Cardinals might be and then all
of a sudden they go on like a four game
losing streak.

Speaker 2 (01:48:39):
So, speaking on Kyler, the offense was top twelve in
both points scored and total yards last year. Yeah, but
it was in bursts. Yeah, it was big, big games
and then complete shutting down.

Speaker 1 (01:48:51):
The whole middle of the year was garbage the beginning.
In the end, they were good.

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
I'm not sure if this is a good thing either.
Kyler has been talking about in at training camp how
he's intentionally he's going to run more because you remember
when when Kyler Murray burst onto the scene, he was
Aunner and he had a you know, it was him
and Lamar was the only quarterback that had more rushing yards.
He had a what was eight hundred and something. I
had it here somewhere, but it was like he had

(01:49:18):
ten eleven touchdowns, eight hundred plus yards rushing.

Speaker 3 (01:49:22):
My body ain't built that's what I.

Speaker 1 (01:49:24):
Worry about now, Lamar and Lamar.

Speaker 3 (01:49:28):
Gang size with Tua and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
Yeah, I don't think. I'm not sure. If you're a
Cardinals fan, that's necessarily what you want to hear that
Kyler is planning on running more.

Speaker 1 (01:49:38):
Well at this moment, Like this is like I think
they're ready to either have like like they're just saying effort.
This is like they're like run or get another quarterback. Yeah,
this is a prove it, This is a work. This
is the last year of this head coach.

Speaker 2 (01:49:53):
If they're not playoff, like not even playoff contention, if
you're not a playoff team, we're starting the cycle over again.

Speaker 1 (01:50:02):
We're cleaning house. Kyler is about the only name.

Speaker 2 (01:50:06):
That's potentially safe, uh, and we're starting all over.

Speaker 3 (01:50:09):
It doesn't feel potentially safe.

Speaker 1 (01:50:10):
I think he's he's one of the names that's gonna
be on the chopping block where they draft a rookie
and there and Kyler's gonna get all pissy.

Speaker 2 (01:50:17):
There's just too much dead money in that deal and
that extension he has.

Speaker 1 (01:50:21):
But they want whether he's got two more years on
the contract because.

Speaker 2 (01:50:24):
They think it more than that is I think it's
a five year deal. Yeah, that was two years ago,
and this is the third year. I think, so so this.

Speaker 1 (01:50:32):
Year, yeah, they would have they would have to be
one year money. Yeah, but what potential one and a
half years. I was about to say, it's it's gonna
it would carry over. It would kill your salary for
two years basically, Yeah, for two of those three. That's
if you are horrible this year and then you start
out horrible next year, you know, and then potentially there's

(01:50:53):
gonna be a great drafting class. Of course next year
and the following year. I think, I don't know. You
tell me since though, because you know, the Cars guys
are looking three years on the line. Sure.

Speaker 2 (01:51:03):
But also the Cardinals, they thought they had hit the
money or hit the honey pot, like they had the
one one overall pick. They had the guy who made
every college defense he ever faced looked like a JV
junior high.

Speaker 1 (01:51:18):
He's also played for OU where it was you know,
switch cheese defense. Trust me, the Big twelve you know
was all switch cheese. So I was actually what I saw, man.
I saw a coked out white boy.

Speaker 2 (01:51:33):
Destroy SEC defenses with half the athleticism the Kyler Murray drug.

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
Tell me Murray. You tell me a little bit faster.

Speaker 2 (01:51:44):
I'm telling you, the SEC is hyper inflated when you
try to compare. Kyler Murray would have been just fine
in the SEC.

Speaker 1 (01:51:52):
When Kyler Murray was in the Big twelve, we weren't like, uh,
Baylor wasn't as good. TCU wasn't as good. You know,
they got better. Tech wasn't as good. They got better.

Speaker 2 (01:52:05):
But I think Kyler goes one to one overall in
that draft though, Runt, that's a good question. I want
to see if Kyler Murray.

Speaker 3 (01:52:15):
Because Burrow was the year after Kyler Murray.

Speaker 2 (01:52:18):
Yeah, And that's where it does kind of hurt you
when you, uh, you know, you compare. It's like the NBA,
like the the Hawks winning the Lottery of the Year
after Wimby, congratulations, you get Zachary rishashe you know, it's
it's it really does all kind of come down to
what year you went. So that was the twenty nineteen

(01:52:39):
draft and the UH there were eleven quarterbacks taken. The
top picks were Kyler one, Nick Bosa to y'all two overall,
and then the next quarterback taken was Daniel Jones six,
but to the Giants next quarterback after that was Rip,

(01:53:01):
a man that Gil Brandt once said was just living
to die. Sometimes guys are just living to die. Ri
Ip Dwayne Haskins, oh Wow, of Ohio State, who was
taking fifteenth over.

Speaker 1 (01:53:14):
It was a bad quarterback draft, but so that's why
I say Kyler goes I was wondering that if that
was the one to one again Patrick Mahomes year, but
that was now Drew Locke was the next quarterback taken
in the second round. Yeah, not a good overall. So
they got the best quarterback out of them. Yeah, and
I still I mean, I obviously you see.

Speaker 2 (01:53:34):
More of Kyler than I do, and you're down on him,
which kind of gives me pause in my in my analysis.

Speaker 3 (01:53:40):
And he goes wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:53:42):
You can see it in between his head. He's sitting
there shaking his head. Marvin Harrison Junior, Like, I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:53:49):
If there's any hope for Kyler for my.

Speaker 3 (01:53:51):
Dynasty, I hope he has a breakout year.

Speaker 1 (01:53:53):
If there's any.

Speaker 2 (01:53:53):
Hope for Kyler, it's Marvin Harrison Junior. Yeah, because that
could be.

Speaker 1 (01:53:57):
James Connor, even though he is he's a solid guy man,
Like I just I always draft him because I know
he's gonna get the ball and he catches the ball good,
but he's getting touchdowns. Trey Benson is behind him. He's
gonna be fat. He's a fast, fast running back. But
they got their second and third receiver Michael Wilson and
Greg Dorts.

Speaker 2 (01:54:18):
Like, yeah, that's not good.

Speaker 1 (01:54:20):
And they they do have Trey McBride, one of the
best tight ends in the game. So that's your one
two punch.

Speaker 2 (01:54:25):
So it's funny. The closest tight end in compensation wise
to Jake Ferguson now is Tredy McBride. He's six. Ferguson's
now seven. The you mentioned, you know, wide receiver room
after Harrison is pretty pretty empty. They didn't address it

(01:54:47):
in the draft. First five draft picks were on defense.
They signed Kalais Campbell and Josh Sweat on the defensive
side of the ball.

Speaker 1 (01:54:54):
I I I think they're better.

Speaker 2 (01:54:58):
I think they finished better than Seattle.

Speaker 3 (01:55:00):
I think so too, But I could see both.

Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
Of them eight and nine, and both are on the
underside of eight and a half. Especially considering how much
better I think y'all are than them, I think.

Speaker 1 (01:55:12):
Yeah, they're gonna get beat up by the division once again.
There they never really get too much home team support.
They're kind of their fan base is kind of wishy.

Speaker 2 (01:55:23):
Were now it's a bunch of retirees living in the
greater Glendale area desert.

Speaker 1 (01:55:28):
And yeahry that dry heat that people say is better
than like that degrees dry heats so much better than
ninety nine humidity.

Speaker 2 (01:55:39):
Awesome for camping and hiking. Like that's Northern Arizona is
some of my favorite parts of the United States. Like
so many whitewater rafting through the canyons, great hikes in
the mountains. It it's hot during the day, but it's
not humid. It's cold at night, desert cold, so it
feels good after a long day out in it. Love

(01:56:02):
the weather. See yeah, but give me the under on
the Cardinals. But they do have a good deed.

Speaker 3 (01:56:08):
They did pick up Josh Sweat on D line.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
As I just said, and kalais Campbell.

Speaker 3 (01:56:13):
Okay, you just said that. I was spaced out. Then.

Speaker 1 (01:56:17):
Buddha Baker always one of the elite white safeties out there.

Speaker 2 (01:56:21):
Doesn't it feel like his name with a name like that,
he should be a better, like a better NFL player,
Like it just sounds like buta Baker, But I know,
I know, I'm not saying he's.

Speaker 1 (01:56:31):
Bad top safeties in the game.

Speaker 2 (01:56:32):
I'm just saying it sounds like a name that's like
a nineteen seventies Hall of Fame safety for the Steelers
or for the.

Speaker 3 (01:56:40):
Will be a Hall of Famer. You think so, Buddha Baker, Yeah, yeah,
he's been one of the top. He's getting older, but
he like he's been top five for.

Speaker 2 (01:56:48):
Like, safeties are also one of the hardest positions to
get in into the because I mean, Darren if Darren
Woodson is still not a Hall of Famer. But Baker
can Buddha Baker, I keep calling him, but like the
City but Bay Kirkins, I did it again. He can wait.

Speaker 1 (01:57:01):
God dang it.

Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
Final count Niners ten and a half, give me the over,
over Rams nine and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:57:07):
Give me the over.

Speaker 2 (01:57:10):
Cautiously has its give Seahawks Cardinals both at eight and
a half. I say under on both, but I think
both of them are right at eight.

Speaker 1 (01:57:19):
It's a this.

Speaker 2 (01:57:20):
I had a lot of fun making the notes for
this division because I I kind of like this division
more than the NFC North now that I've actually looked
at it. Chicago better than Seattle, or Arizona. I'm not
so sure. First year head coach. A lot of holes.

Speaker 3 (01:57:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:57:40):
Are we sure about Caleb Williams?

Speaker 3 (01:57:42):
Yeah, I'm not like who was I? Who was I? Convention?
You more of Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:57:46):
You were on the vikings, the vikings with JJ would
which again Arizona.

Speaker 1 (01:57:53):
I'd have Arizona over Chicago, Seattle Push.

Speaker 2 (01:57:57):
Yeah, I think this is this is right there with
the NFC North though, and overall total competition.

Speaker 1 (01:58:04):
All right, LG hit us with the lightning round.

Speaker 2 (01:58:06):
Let's get out here. I mentioned the Dion.

Speaker 1 (01:58:09):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:58:09):
These shades remind me more of Dion than they do
Kyle Shanahan or the West Coast.

Speaker 1 (01:58:15):
UH.

Speaker 2 (01:58:16):
Dion called a press conference earlier today where he announced
he just recovered from a cancer battle.

Speaker 1 (01:58:24):
Didn't even tell Shador or Shiloh.

Speaker 2 (01:58:27):
As they were going through the draft process because he
didn't want to. He didn't want to weigh on them.
Has removed had bladder removal to fight the cancer and
now is announcing cancer free. And he went plans on
coaching UH University of Colorado this year. So just obviously

(01:58:51):
the man he lost like two toes last year.

Speaker 3 (01:58:54):
He's trying to now bladder and he's like cancer. You
saw what he has to do every treatment, like every
couple of hours.

Speaker 1 (01:59:01):
Yeah, I h I think almost.

Speaker 2 (01:59:05):
I think the further we win, the Dion era of
college football coach coach Dion coach Prime era ends, I
think we're going to look back on it and say,
I kind of think coach Prime was actually like telling
guys like no, no, no, y'all just got to hit
the transfer portal. You're not good enough. Like yes, it's cold,

(01:59:26):
it's cool, but it's becoming a business. What do NFL
coaches do? They tell guys, you're not making the training camp.

Speaker 3 (01:59:32):
Prime guy, he's always a trading center.

Speaker 2 (01:59:35):
Yeah, you know, pour one out for Prime's toes.

Speaker 1 (01:59:38):
But a lot of a lot of death out there
this week and this just in this one, I remember
this guy, but another one to not just breaking news Sandberg, right,
I knew.

Speaker 3 (01:59:52):
It was bad.

Speaker 1 (01:59:54):
I knew it was.

Speaker 3 (01:59:55):
Bad, Cubs Hall of Famer man.

Speaker 2 (01:59:57):
Because a lot of the guys, a lot of his
former teammates were all of a sudden popping up at
Sandberg residents and posting about how I got to see
Rhino today. Like when you have guys flying in from
all parts of the world, all parts of the country
to come visit.

Speaker 3 (02:00:14):
So that was that was like, so Hulk Hogan passed away.

Speaker 2 (02:00:19):
Give me Sandberg over Hogan all day.

Speaker 3 (02:00:22):
When you when you when you go on a racist ring, I'm.

Speaker 2 (02:00:24):
Not saying unless Sandberg has something in the closet that
I was that I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (02:00:29):
Then you sell out at the very end to try
to make some money. But I do feel bad for
Hogan because what he went through yet in the next
surgery and he basically his lungs were filling up and
from the wife telling me, like that is one of
the worst You're basically drowning. Yeah, it's terrible drowning. Was

(02:00:49):
he was in hospice for the past couple of months
at his house. Look all all jokes like let he
who hasn't sent cast the first stone? Like it's not
like Hogan is very.

Speaker 2 (02:01:01):
Was very Yeah, it was very clearly grifting in the
last part of his life, you know, getting into politics,
going on the seven hundred Club promoting Hulk.

Speaker 1 (02:01:13):
I remember the beer Hulk it was what.

Speaker 2 (02:01:15):
Was he was he had it was a it was
like Hulk some kind of religious tie in. I can't,
I can't. I saw it earlier.

Speaker 1 (02:01:22):
He was there for the kids promoting vitamins and you know,
say your prayers.

Speaker 3 (02:01:29):
All that he was. He was a truly.

Speaker 1 (02:01:32):
Transformed wrestling and he also didn't want his daughter dating
a black man.

Speaker 3 (02:01:36):
And he would have been a lot.

Speaker 1 (02:01:39):
Terrible, terrible words years ago to describe yeah said black. Yeah,
So I mean the truth came out a little bit.
But he did do good things and I will recognize him.
But we also lost another one, Megalo Mart's own Chuck Mangione. Huh,

(02:02:00):
King of the Hill. Chuck Mangonio was actually a real
trumpet player. He died horn excuse me, Oh my god,
when did this happen?

Speaker 3 (02:02:11):
Chuck mang passed away?

Speaker 1 (02:02:13):
He was I loved his King of the Hill episodes
always cracked me up. I never knew he was a
real guy until like a probably like.

Speaker 2 (02:02:23):
A oh jazz legend, jazz instrumental.

Speaker 3 (02:02:27):
I had didn't listen to a lot of jazz.

Speaker 2 (02:02:29):
Surprisingly, you know, Miles Davis gets the girls in the
upper deck at Yankee Stadium ready to go the little
dizzy Gillespie on you're in business.

Speaker 3 (02:02:39):
Oh buddy, man, dude.

Speaker 2 (02:02:41):
No, you're breaking Sandberg and man, I had no idea
when did when was it. Oh my god, that was
like that a week ago.

Speaker 1 (02:02:50):
Yeah, that was That was the same day as Hogan
last Tuesday, same day as Hogan.

Speaker 3 (02:02:54):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:02:54):
So when they say death comes in threes, y'all fing liars. Yeah,
it's it's a it's a trifecta at minimal.

Speaker 3 (02:03:03):
This is a six six in a rough month. But
he lost. We lost Michael Madison, also Michael Madden.

Speaker 1 (02:03:10):
That one was. That one was Reservoir Dogs Own Man.
One of the greatest scenes ever. He's awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:03:16):
He's a great in Kill Bill too, with him and
Kardine as his dad and.

Speaker 3 (02:03:23):
The brother like just says there and shoots her with
rock salt.

Speaker 2 (02:03:27):
He ends up getting by the way by the mamba.

Speaker 1 (02:03:29):
I got. I got hit with some rock salt picking
some frooms allegedly in Louisiana, allegedly hit me. Lg uh.

Speaker 2 (02:03:40):
We're gonna save most of these for Wednesday because we
spent so much. I think we're gonna do the same
thing Wednesday though, because we have the NFC East up,
so we'll go long in the main segment again, but
mentioned the we were talking baseball earlier, mentioned the Emmanuel
class gambling probe. Did you see apparently Bryce Harper and

(02:04:02):
Rob Manfred went face to face those So Manfred is
starting to cry poverty because the players union and the
owners are about to have a new CBA negotiation kickoff.
Manford wants a salary cap in baseball. It's the last
sport in North America without a salary cap. The rest

(02:04:22):
of them are socialists, the rest of them are welfare
where the worst teams get the best picks. Baseball is
like soccer still where if you got the money for it,
if your owner wants to.

Speaker 1 (02:04:34):
Pay it, and.

Speaker 3 (02:04:36):
Players Association will never vote that in.

Speaker 2 (02:04:39):
Well, and see that's this is where Manford is trying
to lay the groundwork to get like he's never going
to get Bryce Harper to agree with it, but if
he can get the fifth bullpen arm on every team
across the league to agree with it, he starts to
build some how do you what's that word momentum?

Speaker 1 (02:04:58):
Some momentum and negotiation. No, actually, he's.

Speaker 2 (02:05:01):
Looking for support from the lower tier paid guys. And
Bryce Harper said, if you want to talk about a
salary cat, you can get the f out of our
locker room. And apparently, as reported, Manford said, no, you
know what I won't get the f out of here,
and here's why, and went right back and forth with him.
So they said it ended with a handshake, but neither has.

(02:05:24):
Both have declined comments.

Speaker 1 (02:05:26):
Here, melg do we have the w NBA's new slogan graphic.
I thought we did this one already, the pay us
what you owe us?

Speaker 3 (02:05:41):
A new one?

Speaker 1 (02:05:42):
Oh god, this is a new.

Speaker 3 (02:05:43):
One right here. Not thought out too much.

Speaker 1 (02:05:48):
It is this is.

Speaker 3 (02:05:50):
Let her cook?

Speaker 1 (02:05:52):
Oh okay, are you are you falling for?

Speaker 2 (02:05:57):
Is that photoshow that's got to be photoshopped?

Speaker 1 (02:06:02):
Because surely.

Speaker 3 (02:06:06):
I just I see it on the internet. I gotta
believe it.

Speaker 1 (02:06:10):
Oh my god, Washington time.

Speaker 3 (02:06:13):
Let her cook?

Speaker 1 (02:06:14):
Oh man, when they use slang words and it goes
horribly wrong, Yeah, that's it goes horribly wrong. That is
a new gatorade. It got. It's one I can get behind.
I'm not gonna lie, so to speak. That's what she said.

Speaker 3 (02:06:31):
I can get behind it.

Speaker 1 (02:06:32):
But gotta let her. You know, did any of these
girls come out and be like, no, don't do this, No, don't.
There's there's two there's two different options here.

Speaker 3 (02:06:43):
Go with the slang.

Speaker 2 (02:06:43):
All of the men at Gator running the Gatorade ad
campaigns were like, oh, this is gonna be funny as hell.

Speaker 1 (02:06:49):
Man got it approved, got them or.

Speaker 2 (02:06:55):
The Gatorade ad was developed by women that were like, well,
we can cook too, we can do this too, without
even thinking about how that.

Speaker 1 (02:07:02):
Would be old women who don't get like how that
would be, Like, we need to get a slang word
to get community, We need to get the young the
young generation INTERI. So they're also talking about cooking and
like let him cook. Yeah, that's that's a pretty bad
I have said that. Hit me, LG.

Speaker 2 (02:07:18):
Let's do one more and get out of here. I'm
gonna save local news for Wednesday's episode because I'm not
sure if y'all are aware. But last week we had
a guy throw nitric acid and a Molotov cocktail at
police officers as he was barricaded. So we're gonna talk

(02:07:40):
about that Wednesday. We'll close out tonight with the inevitable This.
This was absolutely inevitable. The day he was traded to La,
the day Nico said get your shine box, Luca, we
don't need you anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:07:58):
Never in shape, never in shape.

Speaker 2 (02:08:01):
Speaking of good pr and good advertising and having good
guy people around you, someone in Luca's camp said, as
soon as you start to show any signs of being
shredded and in the best shape of your life, we're
gonna do a Men's Health cover.

Speaker 3 (02:08:18):
Story, and we're gonna give you that money. Yeah, we're
gonna give you that money.

Speaker 2 (02:08:22):
Now the story.

Speaker 3 (02:08:23):
This is a little photoshop, by the way, you know that,
like there's like a like, Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:08:27):
It's always touched up.

Speaker 2 (02:08:29):
Yeah, I mean, of course it is again to make
him look better and to make his narrative be that
he's going to be. I think there both can be true.
It's definitely touched up. But he's also now going on
being around Lebron for almost a full year. But you know,
whatever you want to say about Lebron, he's the closest
to TB twelve, to Brady, no one at his age,

(02:08:50):
no one at Brady's age had ever done what he did.
No one at Lebron's age has ever done what he did. Yeah,
and just being a like, he's taking that beer away
from Luca after the going on, he's stopping, he's blocking
door dash on Luca's phone.

Speaker 1 (02:09:04):
I'm gonna crush I'm gonna crush your dreams about that. Yes,
that is true a little bit, but because he was
a guest announcer on today's Yankees game that he was
on for two innings, and he can't say that he's
a Yankee fan. Even though he got his new Jordan's
shoes signed by the God himself, Aaron Judge.

Speaker 3 (02:09:27):
He said he took he.

Speaker 1 (02:09:29):
Took Jordan also Jeter Jordan Brand. He took a year off,
not a year off. He took a month away from
basketball and played paddle ball. Played paddle ball. Paddle ball's
tennis though that's like, yeah, so it's like baseball, but
it's that's probably because they didn't want him to tear
an a c l or tear like.

Speaker 2 (02:09:49):
I don't think I don't think Luca is gonna be
playing any Beer League softball games or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (02:09:55):
This is from his mouth. This is from his mouth.

Speaker 1 (02:09:59):
He played ball for a whole month and didn't play
a single lack of basketball and got It's a good way.
He got his cardio. That's a good workout.

Speaker 3 (02:10:09):
It was a cardio thing.

Speaker 1 (02:10:10):
And he always liked His first loves were soccer and tennis. Yeah,
he loved well him and oh good even and dark
used to play tennis together all the time.

Speaker 2 (02:10:23):
The story itself was absolutely played tennis.

Speaker 1 (02:10:27):
Oh yeah, like he's a star.

Speaker 3 (02:10:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:10:32):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:10:32):
The article itself was utter ai slop. It said, it
said Luca had a forty two inch vertical. That's the
draft combine. Luca's never gotten close even the ball. Go
watch some rookie highlights. He actually compare what he looked like. Yes,
Huka has a higher vertical than Luca. He also didn't

(02:10:55):
attend the draft combine because he was playing euro League
playoffs with Real Madrid, so clearly it was just an
easy shot to get in at.

Speaker 1 (02:11:06):
But they also said on the Yankee game, all the
fat jokes, it's all like, did you take that as
a personal insult. Yeah, He's like, of course he did,
because he were you shocked like us, He was like,
I was devastated. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:11:20):
He cried for two straight hours before answering the Lakers
phone calls telling him we're happy to have you know
it this again.

Speaker 1 (02:11:29):
It was inevitable motivated, and he's motivated a beast. So
now do I have the Lakers above the Spurs? Maybe?

Speaker 2 (02:11:40):
I mean again, if you don't, we'll see. Well, we
don't have time to let you get us out of
you get us out here Wednesday night. We'll be back
for the NFC East preview if you want to follow
along with me on x at Biggest Puma Instagram, Biggest Dot.
