In this electric Wednesday night edition of The Sports Cave with Biggest Puma, host Sam Freas and the crew deliver a fast-paced, wide-ranging episode that blends sharp sports analysis with off-the-wall moments and a few unforgettable stories.

The main focus of the night is a deep dive into the AFC North as part of the show’s ongoing NFL divisional preview series. Sam and Cap break down each team’s outlook, from the Ravens’ run-heavy offense and Lamar Jackson’s playoff struggles to the Bengals’ defensive chaos and contract disputes. They also explore whether the Steelers can stay competitive with a 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers under center and if the Browns are already preparing for another rebuild.

Beyond football, the episode covers a wide range of sports and cultural moments:
  • PSG’s dominant win over Real Madrid and what it means for Chelsea in the Club World Cup Final
  • Yankees and Rangers trade deadline speculation and offensive inconsistencies
  • Home Run Derby hype and the myth of the “swing curse”
  • The Spurs’ acquisition of Kelly Olynyk and how it fits into their long-term plans
The show also features several other standout moments:
  • A passionate debate over whether momentum in sports is real or just a myth
  • A suitcase full of H-E-B tortillas spotted at the airport
  • A viral golf course fight involving a former NHL enforcer
  • A chaotic brawl at The Star in Frisco that left everyone guessing who was fighting who

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Me ah, yes, light the beam. Indeed, we are back
in the room for another one of these things, Wednesday
Night edition of the Sports Cave with Biggest Puma. I
am your host, as always, Sam Freees, broadcasting live from

(00:30):
the Greater North Side of San Antonio, where we find
ourselves less than two weeks away from the Cowboys reporting
to ox nerd We are down week to twelve days
till the Cowboys report, and I know Cap you will
be happy to know earlier this week they signed a
five year extension with the city of Oxnard.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
So oh wow.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, Cowboys. As much as much as I wish they
would come back to San Antonio, the only since it's
too hot here man. Yeah, with the alum you got
the Alamo Dome, you got facilities. Yeah. In the last
twenty years, they have only done two years outside of Oxnard,
the one year in the Alamo Dome, which was the

(01:12):
very first year I moved to San Antonio. So it
was awesome. I thought, Hey, like, we're about to get
Cowboys training camp every year at least.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
For did you go? Did you go every year? Oh? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
We uh so gross Uh of course meant, I gotta
see how the fourth string running backs are looking.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Is that why San Antonio gets so hype on the
Cowboys because they had the training camp.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
They're like, did you see that route right there? I mean,
did you see that route? The Uh? Oh going all
the way this year?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
The years of connection with the Cowboys have been tested
with the Oilers and Texans now. But yeah, this is
still a Cowboys city. Uh. It generates three point six
million dollars for the Oxnard and the surrounding areas out there.
What's the population of ox It's like twenty thousand people.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh that's good for that.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
It's a small little town. Yeah, it might not even
be that much. Actually, but do.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
They humble themselves and like sleeping like a holiday inn
or something.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
So a lot of those people what they do is
they airbnb their houses during Cowboys training camp and make
a killing off of idiots like me that believe that
it is it's gonna be the Cowboys year. Oh yeah,
they take full full advantage of.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh honey, I got you a vacation.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
We're going out of town where.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Okay, all right, it's not as small. How about two
hundred thousand people? Not to okay, but that's the greater
that was like when.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Those towns you drive like you're driving up to Abilene,
when those fifteen towns you drive through.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
No it's it's not yeah, no, it's not a Mason
or Winters or some of those minards, some of those
other junctions. Yeah, great junctions. That's where they caught that
rest stop, that truck stop in junction with the McDonald's
and everything. That's where they caught that room Ouiz guy

(03:00):
that stabbed the Los Plappas founder. Yeah, they caught him
up there in Kimball County at one of the one
of those rest stops.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
He was going to Fredericksburg. He's like, one more, one
more time on the strip. I gotta do it before
I go away.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I think he was trying to get back to California
as fast as possible. Uh. That voice you do here, though,
of course, is the cap himself back writing shotgun along
with me, as well as the drops you hear, courtesy
and uh the responsibility of the great LG. How are
we doing over there? LG?

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Now, oh my god, you can't do that. His heart
skipped to beat right about it was so I've.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Gotten so confident that I don't even do the bit
of like, oh, let's see if because LG has everything covered,
the one, the one worried, Now I'm going to be
I'm gonna be worried again every episode.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Man, you gotta keep them on the toes. LG.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, had the fader down and fight it up. Man.
Look like anyone that's uh, anyone that's run aboard knows
that's where you can get into trouble. There was one
night where I was running a board after uh a
rampage hockey game, and for Rampage, I only used two
of the you know, three main faders, so I had

(04:27):
one of them turned completely all the way down. So
I do the game. I'm like, you know, I'm still
pretty young, or not young, but pretty early in doing
you know, live sports, and so I'm you know, any
a game that didn't go off air is an accomplishment.
It's it's like it was a successful night.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
So it's not it's not a professional game or going
minor league.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah. No, that's where that's where you cut your teeth.
That's where you learn. As LG can a test. Did
you did you hear that play by play? But the
one time, the one like I'm walking out of their
feeling good, feeling confident. And then about thirty minutes later,
I get a call from the boss that's like, we're
getting dead air during the commercial breaks. Do you know

(05:10):
what could have what could be causing that? It was
because I had left one of those faders down, because
you've got to have three of them up. You're supposed
to have three faders up for the commercial.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
That's where you said because their money.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
It bounces around the three faders.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
That's right, that's where if you if you have one
of them down, it'll miss a commercial every three.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
And uh it did that for a couple of hours
after after the rampage game ended, until anyone who's Who's like,
who's this safety valve? Basically on me? You?

Speaker 1 (05:42):
It was me?

Speaker 4 (05:44):
You You're it's it's Dan Are they it's the station
manager or the technical guy.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, he's supposed to see you. You're supposed to have
an l G.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
It was Dann's the guy who would call you at
at iHeart engineering at you the engineering guy.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
You'd be like, I got an alarm that there's dead air.
Let's going up. Look as LG can also probably attest
to uh it happened way more frequently than at least
for me. LG is actually good at production and good
at running aboard. I was a bit like a chicken
with my head cut off, just hoping we stayed on

(06:18):
air for the entirety of the game. Hockey was fun.
Hockey was fun. I miss I missed minor league hockey
if nothing else. I miss it for the back when
I worked at Cox, when kiss An Eagle had the
had the theme nights and they just set up couches
right along the ice.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
It was yeah, perfect, Like I man, I, like I
told you, almost got hit by the puck with the
iguanas and never went to a Dragons game. But like literally,
me and my friend had the you know, the bro
seed in between us.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
You know you can't sit next to each other, little spacer.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, because that's the only thing that's determining your sexual fluid.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Thought he was a state if I sit next to
a man.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Now, you sound like you said like Mike Johnson, like
I might be too tempted, or Mike Fence when he
had to have his wife in the room for any
time he met with a woman.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
You can't have that temptation. But yeah, there's anything wrong
with that? Yeah, no, there's none. And then the puck
just hit the like literally cracked the seat right in
between us.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Damn Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
And it was it sounded like a gunshot and it
went when shot up like thirty feet in the air.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
It was like that was the hardest hit. Pug.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
I was like, this is dangerous. I need this is
like baseball. I gotta keep an eye on this. Because
I was sitting there just messing around.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
I think some might say that's the good Lord, letting
it known his stance on the bro seat.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
He approves, he approves, he doesn't want, don't give him
any more fodder man any any.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Questions of what's actually going on there besides two hetero
men enjoying a sporting event. You'll also be happy to
know it's National Dimples Day. You've kind of got some dimples.
Can't see him there behind the beard.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
But no, no dimples, no dimples, no dimples, just pudgy cheeks,
well then cheeks.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's also National sugar Cookie Day, so sugar cookie. It's
one or the other. Get a sugar cookie, it's one
or the other. Why the why the hell do we
have a cookie monster? Drop?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Why the hell do we used to use it?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Made of Andrew Luck? Oh yeah, okay, that's solid.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
We need more Sesame Street drops.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Let's keep that. Yeah, yeah, I don't disagree. Let's keep
that in the rotation. We need more out of context
Sesame Street drops. We also might need.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I'm working on turning some of these Keith Hernandez clips
into some drops, because he is he is the drop
machine that keeps on giving. Uh. Yeah, I knew you
would be happy to know, uh and celebrate accordingly National
Dimple slash Sugar Cookie Day.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
But how many other days? Is? How many other things?

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Today? Those are the only two.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
The sugar Cookie and the Dimple get their own day.
But yesterday with all that other crap.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, what was it? Six of them from Monday night?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Are you joking?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah? No, that was Unfortunately, that is the society we
live in.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I still can't get that.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
In a society.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
I still can't get that. Making the band with Dave
Chappelle and he was making fun of him. He's like,
you got to walk eight bucks, get me this sugar cookie.
He wants me to go make a good get them
with sugar cookie. I'm dalon, I'm one of the best
rappers of all time.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
That's an all timer. That's a cookie. We went down
by the way, we went down the Chappelle Show wormhole
not too long ago. Rewatched a bunch of those first
two seasons of it before he took the Australian hiatus,
Like Dirt William.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Like these comedians like, oh, we can't do that nowadays
we get canceled and I'm I'm like, go watch Always
Sunny in Philadelphia. Yeah, well, I was like, they do
whatever the hell they want to do.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
They've removed some of those black face episodes, Yeah they had,
They've had a few that have been pulled. The worst,
the worst overreaction to cancel culture like that is the
episode of Community that got pulled because uh, Chain was

(10:27):
in full black makeup all his whole body, not just face,
because he was some kind of you know, l for
dwarf for something, some kind of character from you know,
Dungeons and Dragons. But like that was I feel like
that was the pinnacle of our the swinging over reaction
of the culture at the time. No, we uh, we

(10:49):
have a lot surprisingly for a Wednesday night show, have
a lot lot a lot of sports to get to
main segment gonna continue our n f NFL divisional previews.
We have the AFC North up tonight. Interesting, more interesting
division than I first thought when I thought going into it.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
I thought it was going to be a pretty easy
kind of I kind of read some news and like
the main thing, that's good.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
I'm glad you. I'm glad you prepared, but I kind
of read.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
But I think some teams are going to have some
the they're known for their defense, the Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers,
the Browns since he I guess back in the day,
but the holdouts of key players.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, yeah, massive holdout more so than probably any other
division in football I had. It's interesting holdouts, not just
your typical I'm thirty years old. I want one final,
last big contract like Kendrickson or TJ. Watt with your
I'm the best at my position in the league. I
want to be paid like that.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
T get it whatever he wants.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
You got first round picks from April that are still
unsigned holding out because of it. And we'll get into
all that in the main segment Before we go any
further though, LG, why don't you tell the good people
how they can help support the program fading in.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah, hit that subscribe button right there, Like the animation
right there is telling you on YouTube we're about to
hit for something. I think Captain might hit the bong
if we get to four to twenty alive on the air.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
I feel like that has to be against YouTube guidelines. Yeah,
I think it is tobacco. Well okay, yeah, I was
about to say it like a is it like a
headshop in the early two thousands, where if you just
call it a water pipe, I don't.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Think you can.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I think drug uses from depart.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
But if it's a water pipe in its tobacco.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
I think tobacco alcohol and drug use is.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
From So I can't even smoke a heater technically, well stream,
we could try.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
You gotta put the warning label up there.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah, y'all subscribe to this thing, so we hit five
four twenty and we can try it and find.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, we'll see. Well, hell when I get when we
get to.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
You just gotta just gotta blur the screen like we're
all on a fade.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
When we get to just hit it over here, Yeah,
we got I got a machine. The smoke's just gonna
waft across like it's an old Muhammad al leaf fight
where everyone's smoking in the arena, and it makes for
the perfect lighting for all those classic pictures pick on.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Like I g like where they do those.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
I mean, it's ridiculous where they hook up a leaf
blower and they put like a cylinder over a whole
person's body to get there, and they put like a
like a pound of it in there and they just
sit there and just blow like leaf blow it and
light it on fire with like a bunch of torches.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
And do you remember there was just wasteful, entirely wasteful
last uh last year, or maybe it was earlier this
April on four twenty, there was a Detroit news reporter
that was doing like live hits man on the street
kind of deal, and he ended up standing next to
one of these, you know, one of like a booth

(14:16):
that was set up that was exactly like that. It
was a you know, it was a leaf blower to
light this giant oversized water pipe. And uh so he's
reporting on it and then like an hour later they
go back to him and he is gone. They can't

(14:37):
even finish a sentence without just trailing off in giggles
as he's trying to report like a SAI and he's
a very he appears to be a very straight laced
newscaster in the first report, and then that might be
a good E Bombs E Bomb's corner to finish with
next week. Who knows what we'll do if we get
to four thousand and two hundred subscriptions.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Oh, that's a whole nother thing. But in the meantime,
you leave us. Yeah, we need money, so you can
leave us a tip at buy me a Coffee dot com,
slash sports cave Live to add to our mic fund.
We are probably like one one hundredth of away there
right now, so well help us out.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Every bit counts. We do appreciate it, as LG says,
and I always emphasize it's absolutely free. All you're doing
is helping us out with no cost. Hopefully. I don't
think YouTube is gonna blow you up with spam emails.
If you don't have an account, just make an account,
give us a subscription. I'd really like to see accounts

(15:37):
that only have one thing they're subscribed to, and it's
us that would be That would be nice.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Uh doing my work marketing, are you still still snatching?
I try to snatch a phone and this girl's.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Like, no, my boyfriend's gonna see it.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
And I'm like, but there's two guys on okay whatever,
Yeah you're not. It was like sports and she's gonna
be like yeah, but he knows I don't like sports.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
It was techniquely three, So three three guys.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
I trust the Yeah. Just does that.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Also, for those of you on Twitter, it helps us
out if you retweet the live streamers appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Dude, tag ustweets quote it.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Do what you want, like, look at these three idiots
and it helps.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Or like the guy that replied the other night asking
if it was Gallagher on the far left of the screen,
I just replied, yes, you bring some water, that's what. Okay,
when we get to five hundred subscriptions that episode, I
will dress like Gallagher and smash the watermelon.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Do we get to save the top of your head?
I'll wear a bald cat.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
There's again, who knows what we'll do if we get
to four thousands. Remember old black Gallagher. Of course, Again,
like going through going back through some of those old episodes,
there's so many skits that I'd forgotten about because I
you know, obviously remember like, you know, the heart the
heavy hitters at the top of the lineup, but that's

(17:12):
a solid seven eight nine hitter hitter's row at the
back end of the lineup.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I remember when that first came out and like there
was no DVRs or no some like because it was
back in like two thousand, I think ninety nine or
two thousand. Yeah, I was still in high school and
I was telling everybody about it. I was like, you
got to catch this show. And because I watched the
first one, which ended up being you know, the Black
KKK and the Black White Supremacist episode.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, Tyrone Biggs And I was like, no, that was
Clayton Bigsby.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Clay Big.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yeah. He divorced his wife later. I'm not going to
say the rest.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
That's probably said. That's probably a good place to draw it.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
But I was telling everybody about it, and it just
became like Coult and then all of a sudden he
blew up and uh did not like the scene. He
didn't want to be controlled by the the Jewish mo.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Wow, I'm just saying what he said.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Oh what he said? Yeah, I was about to say
that was again. That was about the time he retired
to Australia. Well, it's also it's a lot of what
Kat Williams was saying. Yeah, I thought he I thought
he did the Australian Outback for a while. He probably did.
Maybe I'm confusing that with Ricky too. It's a lot
of what Kat Williams was telling Shannon sharp tootcase stories.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah more. Hey, even of what he said is true.
I have said this for two decades.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
I always wanted to marry a Jewish girl because I
would be I.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Wanted to ordain in the Jewish religion.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
You know, you can. Can't you just do that? You
can like convert like you're like Walter from Big Lebowski.
You're just You're like Walter, You're not even Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Exactly, I can't answer the phone. I'm not supposed to
be answering the phone, dude, That's why it's an emergency.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Walter still still holds up, still holds up?

Speaker 1 (19:07):
All right.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Well again, before we get into sports tonight, I feel
like with the small but growing platform, we do have
have to mention we now we're now, you know, looking
back at the hill country. Now up to one hundred
and nineteen reported passed away with over one hundred and

(19:30):
sixty still missing.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
So I will that's what scares me the most. Hundred.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
I mean we're talking it. It's gonna be three hundred
close to it. Yeah, unfortunately. So you know, I will
reiterize if you can donate, please, Community foundation dot net
is a great place where the money's going straight back
into the community if you have I know there are

(19:55):
some volunteer opportunities if you can take the time and
go up there. And who was it Robert Plant who
lives in Texas. Now I saw he was up there volunteering,
And I know this is one of those weird things
where like a celebrities life is no more valuable than
anyone else's, like I saw, or any less value, you

(20:17):
know what I mean. Yeah, I saw Pat Green, a
Texas country legend. He announced he let it be known
that his brother, sister in law, and two of their
children were among the dead in the flooding. So again,
it's not that you know they're more valuable than others,
but just to see the large effect, the huge impact

(20:41):
on the way, like from the smallest to someone you know,
someone knows someone, everyone knows. It's because it's hitting everybody, unfortunately,
and we're still you know, as the recovery efforts continue,
there are still plenty, plenty of ways to help. I
saw they were also doing blood drives as well at the.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Different I'm giving blood tomorrow clinics. Are you I got that?
I got that good old blood?

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Oh yeah, that's value.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
So again, a community foundation dot net if you can help.
I feel like we're going to be you know, this
is obviously going to be top of mind. Uh ye
for a while for the rest of the summer. Yeah,
I mean, yeah, at least and.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
How much we figure out like then.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Unfortunately, there are gonna be some people just because when
you have a flood like that, everything's buried. They're like
pulling out. You see a piece of a car, it's
just buried underneath the mud, and you have to excavate
that out, and that's just gonna that could take years.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, I think I will. You know, we got the
governor released his agenda for the special session coming up,
and you know, little Governor Dan Patrick, Lieutenant governor, he's saying,
you know, in press conferences that they the state plans
on funding flood sirens along the river by next summer.

(22:15):
Well look, yeah, at this point it should have been
done before. There's going to be a lot of back
and forth about WHYATT wasn't done before, but it's at
the end of it. If they if it gets done
by next summer, that's a good thing. We can all
celebrate and then parse through the partisan arguing of WHYATT

(22:35):
wasn't done before, because again, there are valid questions to
be asked, but let's let's let's get something done.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
I think simultaneously, what I hope there's just encourages is
you know, as much as like, hey, I might agree
with you, but like we should focus more on stuff
like public safety and stuff like this instead of worrying
about minute stuff like roles in guys sports that all
of five college athletes are doing. This is where it's like,

(23:06):
there's more important issues than this. Even though I might
agree with you, you know.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
What I say, I think the best way to put
it is, this is an actual agreeable, bipartisan role of
government that everyone can support. Like this is like whether
you believe in big government small government. If you believe
in small the smallest libertarian government possible, safety of the civilians,

(23:31):
of the citizens is probably one of the few things
that a small government supporter.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Can get behind, so basically camps where children are at. Yeah,
I mean, that's just no one's going to be like, oh,
I don't want to pay an extra two cents in
taxes to put some sirens up.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
You would.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
You would hope that's the case. And hopefully the legislature
actually has the ability to get that passed through as
quickly as possible in this special session. But they've also
got to worry about THC and whatever else they're gonna
I mean, the agenda is long, but hopefully that is

(24:07):
the first thing. Exactly, yeah, exactly. We can simultaneously do
multiple things. Okay, a lot of sports to get to.
So we're just gonna start, as we normally do, with
what I watched, and this we don't have to go
very far back to get to what I watched, because

(24:27):
this afternoon about I settled in for what I expected
to be.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
I thought it was gonna be a good match.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
I thought it was going to be a pretty compelling
two hours of television viewing, and within twenty seven minutes
the game was over.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
I started, that's starting not and back off? Yeah, I know,
we were.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
We were all texting back and forth, you know, at
the beginning of the game, and then.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
We're talking about soccer by the way.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
After that, Yeah, yeah, good, good call. We're talking about
the PSG demolition of Realma earlier today ends up four
to nothing, but you know, PSG scored I think the
first one was in the eighth minute and the third
one was.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
In the fifth minute, fifth minute, and it was just
you could just see that. I mean, Real Madrid had
a couple of breakaways, a couple of counters that were good,
they had a couple opportunities, but it was it was
PSG that just the skill and then the sloppiness man
the defenders could not have been worse in the first

(25:29):
fifteen minutes than I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
No, Real clearly looked like a team that was missing
two of their regular starting defensemen.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
And I guess they were Alexander Trent.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Alexander Arnold ended up having a slight knock, slight injury,
so he was missing. And then the big money defender
they just signed this summer, he got a red card,
so he was missing today's game and would have actually
missed the fine as well.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
So even then you can get two games with a red card.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, if it's a straight red it's a straight yeah,
because he had gotten that red card in the uh
in the like one hundred and six or ninety six
minute of that last game, when Real had to hold
on at the end to get through.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Well yeah, but still Real Madrid, your your backup defensive
your backup defensemen are still usually better than their ninety
percent of the rest of the world.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Their second goal was a straight whiff by the defender
trying to kick it back to the goalkeeper and he
just totally missed the ball and then the Ford just
has an open run and score.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
There was a part of me that you know, I
still uh, you know, I still remember Tibau Coutoi fondly
from his time at Chelsea, the now Real Madrid goalkeeper.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, and it was one of those.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Games where a world class goaldie like him still had
no chance, had no It's like like in some of
these Stars games where Otter gives up three goals and
they pull him. But is it really Otter's fault or
is it the defense in front of him? And today
it was the defense in front of Coutois that that

(27:24):
really gave Real no chance in that match whatsoever. So
now yesterday Chelsea handled business. They win too oh over
fluminenci uh two goals by their new signing, jal Pedro,
twenty three year old Brazilian coming over from his young
writing Yeah, yeah, the.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
I wonder how he oh, I guess I was like,
I wonder how he's gonna be treated back in Brazil,
you know.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
But it's not.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
This is non national Yeah, this is just club. Yeah.
And he's still they're.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Gonna like it because he's gonna be on the He's
gonna be on the national team.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, you would think so, you would think.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
So.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Chelsea now set to face off against PSG in the
final Sunday afternoon at two o'clock over on TBS back
in that same MetLife Stadium, the Jets Giant Stadium up there.
They had almost seventy eight thousand people at that match today.
Oh really at two o'clock in the afternoon in New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
So I'll tell you one thing that it seemed like
to be grass held up a lot better than they
did in Houston.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I think they I think they're using real Yeah, I
think they're I think there's I think it's just better weather.
But I think it's just better natural grass. I think
it's because it faces there's no cover. Yeah, you know
anything like that.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
I think it just I just know that's the land
of the ACL tears for football.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah that's true, man, I hadn't thought about that. Yeah,
why would it be one case in football but not
the case in soccer. It could just be coincidential.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
But you know, when you have that many a cls
go down in one stadium on one turf that's different
than everybody else's turf.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
It could be like the like how everyone thinks the
Chiefs get all of the calls. But I went back
and looked it up. They were actually the sixth most
penalized team in the NFL because they hold. They constantly hold,
but it gets called not all the time, right, because
you're never gonna call one hundred percent of holds. They

(29:27):
were the sixth most. So, as I've always said, I.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Will say, in football, it's all about momentum.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
When do you have momentum.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
And momentum momentum doesn't.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Exist, you are you are ridiculous when you have a third.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
A third wins games? Is actual ability?

Speaker 3 (29:53):
No, you can kill momentum like it's it's the player's drive.
If you're feeling good, You're going to catch that ball.
You're gonna hit that route harder, You're gonna go a
little bit harder on the block.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
I don't think professional athletes operate like a junior high
endoor to control it like it's science.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Man. That's why.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Why do why do you think home teams have an
advantage their their team?

Speaker 2 (30:15):
I don't think they do.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
They get pumped up when the crowds get inside it
and they're.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Like, yes, like okay, let me ask you this.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Have you have you ever been You've been doing advance, So.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Let me ask you this. If the home team gets
pumped up, why does does the visiting team not get
pumped up when they silence that crowd?

Speaker 3 (30:32):
But it's hard like it's them reading the calls. It's dude,
there's a reason why it's called the home field advantage.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
We're gonna and there's a reason why it's a big
missing an advantage and why it's cratered in the NBA
over the last half a dozen years. Well, we're gonna
argue about momentum forever because I I jokingly say that
as a hard line stance, because I do I believe
it's way more about actually having better players making better plays.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
You don't think.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
You don't think the y in thet the reis had
the stats being like, oh man, there's ten calls that
we have for the Ravens and only only have two
for the Chiefs. Well, let's give him a couple holding calls,
little Piddley calls towards the end while they had the lead.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
No, it's like, instead, the Ravens get the three and
thirteam that they convert, not offensive pass interference. That kills
your momentum, That kills everything. It takes the breath out
of you.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
So like when a team okay, so under that idea,
when a team goes down and scores with a minute
left and a game, yeah, a minute and a half
left in a game, they score to take the lead,
they have all of the momentum in the world. Right, Yeah,
So then how do you explain it when a team

(31:48):
down gets the ball with less than two minutes left,
drives and scores the game winning touchdown with zero momentum.
By that same definition, it's still about pressure, right, It's
about players making plays. Anyway.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
I'm not saying players can't make plays, No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
I just it's gonna be a fun debate because there's
there's a lot of it.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
It's one of those I put it in your reference.
It's like being at a Stars.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Game, okay, and the feeling of that crowd and you
have a different feeling and you're more amped up. What
if you were playing you get that feeling of your
crowd and you're getting amped up, You're gonna be a
little bit faster.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
You're gonna be a little bit strong.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
I don't think you are.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
You're gonna Actually it's adrenaline dump.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Don't dump dump. That is natural speed for us.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
But these guys have spent their whole careers harnessing that
so that it doesn't affect their play. So I don't
think it affects it negatively, But I also don't think
it affects it positively. I think it's still is just
individuals making specific plays that either lead to winning.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
This season, I will point out the LG get ready.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
For the the clips. It's gonna be back and forth
because it's one of the It's like a lot of
things where we just form a narrative around something and
then everyone accepts it, and then the data actually says well,
there's no support.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
You're killing me because you're actually like, I saw it.
I watched it, and you're telling me what I saw
wasn't real. And everybody else saw it.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Everybody else was like, Wow, the Chiefs really got a
that was a last hole on the game. They didn't
call that.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
That would have shown that when Duke blew the game
here in the Final four against Houston and gave up
the thirteen point lead with six minutes left or whatever,
at what point Duke had all the momentum all game
and then they started turning the ball over and missing shots.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
That wasn't because switched the momentum switch and they started
playing harder on started missing star, playing harder on defense. Okay,
they started getting a little bit fast.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
I'm not going to convince you yet, but I'll keep trying.
The winner of that game Sunday, not that PSG or
Chelsea need the money, but the winner of that game
is gonna get one hundred and twenty five million dollars.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Oh, let me get a meal.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
That's pretty good little chunk change. And PSG. You know,
we talked yester or Monday night about the bills and
how they've been you know, perpetually close, but they're owing
for against the Chiefs and the playoffs. That's basically been
who PSG has been for the last three four years.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
They Oh, yes, they've been the Bills.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
They've been the Bills, and now they got their breakthrough
this year's twenty sixth straight or twenty one Champions League,
which one.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Twenty six or twenty seven straight wins for PSG.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
No, yeah, I mean going back to the regular French league. Yeah, uh,
you know, PSG gets their breakthrough.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Seems like they got momentum.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Wins the again, or maybe or maybe they just got
rid of high paid players like Killian and Bope and
brought in guys that fit a system better and are
just playing more connective soccer. I mean, I mean, what
was the momentum today? And is East Rutherford giving.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Like they're gonna win?

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Before that balls even kicked Chelsea's on their heels. I
think Chelsea's gonna get smoked. I mean, I look, I'm
a die hard Chelsea love Chelsea, will always love Chelsea.
I think PSG had their two games leading up to
this final, uh Dortmund and and Real today. I think
those are potentially going to be harder tests than more.

(35:38):
Chelsea can Chelsea can provide for them Sunday. But all
that being said, if they can just get the momentum early,
maybe they can upset I will be Uh. You know,
It's turned out to be a pretty damn good summer
of soccer. Where I was at the beginning of it

(35:59):
was feeling pretty pretty low about the prospects of being
entertained and watching exactly, and then we end up getting
a USA Mexico Final and now my my blues Chelsea
playing in Club World Cup final where they're going up
against no argument have been PSG have been the best

(36:20):
team in the world this calendar year, So uh, should
be should be a good matchup Sunday. A couple of
other sports. I did you know we are come Sunday
With soccer being gone, it's going to be full baseball
until football season kicks off until.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
What do you say, third third sixteen days.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Or twelve games till training camp till they report. But
I mean, I'm not I'm not big on watching. So
the Hall of Fame game is the start of training camp. Now,
the Hall of Fame game isn't until later in July.
It's like the like twenty ninth or something.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
You do two weeks of training camp. Uh, they like
the mandatory.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, but then they you know, the
Cowboys open their preseason against the Rams, and I think
that's technically the first week in August actually, because that
Hall of Fame, it's preseason, so it's preseason. I hope
it is. I hope it's an l because none of
them played no. Last night, I found myself I picked

(37:26):
a good night to check back in on my red shoe.
Rangers end up smoking the Angels thirteen to one last night, and.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Oh man, those Angels are so good.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
I think right now they're better than the Rangers in
the standing. I think they are. I think they were
until last night.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
The battle of the under five hundred teams.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Well, the battle of the perpetual underachievers Angels, a team
that had Trout and Otanian couldn't even make the playoffs,
and the battle of the biggest under achieving team in
MLB this season, the Rangers. Yeah, the win last The
Rangers are forty five and forty seven and the Angels

(38:08):
are forty four and forty seven. Yeah, I need I
need your Yankees to beat up on the Mariners. So
at least they're not that far ahead in the wild Card.
But we're doing our job tonight, good good. Last night,
we've seen this Rangers offense score a bunch of runs.
Like they either score less than three or they score

(38:29):
eight or more. There's no in between there.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Every time I see it's either like a big numbers
and then or.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Just like it's a crooked number, or it's one exactly.
So last night the key to they went the first
three innings hitless, They had nothing going on, but they
were drawing walks.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
And I'll get that pitch count on it, exactly.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
And so last night they were able to work a
season high nine walks from the Angels pitching. And that's
huge for more like it. Obviously, not putting nine free
runners on base is a good way to generate some runs.
But in the bigger picture, the Rangers have the second

(39:12):
highest swing rate on pitches this season of any team
in the Major League swinging miss or just swinging, just
swinging in general. So they swinge big time. They swing
on forty nine point three percent of pitches. Yeah, forty
nine point three percent are they what are.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
They for strikeouts? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Off the top of my head. But tell me if
this is good company to keep. The only team that
swings at more pitches than they do the historically bad
Colorado Rockies. They swing the Rockies are right at fifty percent,
almost dead even, like forty nine point nine percent, and
the Rangers are at forty nine point three. So potentially,

(39:58):
if we're seeing some kind of changing strategy offensively, maybe
maybe I can still wear my hat with a little
bit of a little bit of hope for the rest.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
Of the Ranger pride.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
There, buddy, they're not too far behind the wild Card,
but the division is absolutely gone. I mean, they're ten
behind the Astros. And what the Astros are doing is
just in. You lose Bregmann and free agency, you trade Tucker,
and yet you're still sitting there with a.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
They're don't have to give, They don't have to fucking
pull their sack up and cough because there's something buzzing
around there.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
You're or maybe they're just the best run MLB franchise
of the last decade. They've won their division eight straight
times excluding COVID.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Once again besides last year, and when did it started?
Like last year or the year before you played your division?
A third of the time. And this is the worst division,
except as.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
We've talked about, it's not the worst statistically, it's.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
Nowhere beat up on like scrubs.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
You pad the stats for Houston man and then they
were cheating.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
So yes, and.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Again, as we talked about, everybody, almost every team in
the MLB was cheating. That's why the league sent out
a memo saying, remove the cameras from the clubhouse.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Say you're the best rand team when you cheated, when
you're banging trash cans and having buzzers on you, you're good,
you know, like, hey, you have great players.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Also, you realize.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Your guys were busted for using cameras as well, just
like the Dodgers were.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Just like we're talking about Oh, I'm sorry, Well.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Let's talk about the Yankees then, because y'all did make
a move dfa Leh, which isn't surprising if you just
look at.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
He was actually swinging the bad decent.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Like yeah, it was like a two sixty six something
like that for.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
The last like last twenty five at bats. He was
batting five hundred. But he couldn't play third base. Jazz
Chisholm couldn't like I mean, he's not a he's a
natural second baseman man. And he just was making airs.
He couldn't he like he couldn't handle the hot corner.
Le Mayhew straight up said, I don't. I can't do it.

(42:20):
You know, his body's just too old.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Yeah, what is a thirty? He's a surprising thirty seven
years old. Seven he didn't realize.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
He played with the surprisingly bad Colorado Rockies, won a
batting title with them, won a batting title. He's a
two time batting title winner. And he won with the
Rockies and he went with the Yankees. The only player
to ever do it in two leagues, the AL in
the NL.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
He's the only one.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Only one man.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
That's surprising.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Yeah, So two different teams, two different leagues, he won
the batting title. Hats off to him. He was a
big part of our core Yankees, the machine. We could
count him for running, hitting with players in scoring position
like it was, you know, rig Dice, what was trash?

Speaker 2 (43:06):
Can you talk about that that core of the last
three or four years. Was it twenty twenty one that
they gave him the five year, ninety million dollar deals,
because he still has like twenty two million left on
the books like y'all are just eating to tell him, yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
Kick he basically we gave him that long contract right
after the seven game series with the Astros where it
was you know, that was the whole buzzer gate crap,
and you know it was right before COVID. So twenty twenty,
he got the contract. He did good, got injured a
couple times, still was hitting. But last year, the year

(43:43):
before last, the numbers went down. Last year he was
just pitiful, barely over two hundred, you know, and then
his he was a goal. He's a gold Glover. You know,
he just couldn't. He's the ultimate infield utility player. He
could play first second, and we didn't really need a shortstop.
But you know, that's hats off to you, le May

(44:05):
you man, we loved you in Yankees.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
You know from what I was reading you talk about
him being potentially an ultimate utility infielder. He had no
desire to do that.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Now.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
He did not take the demotion well at all, and
I think I think he thought he probably had more
leverage because of that contract number. Yeah, to kind of
make some noise and raise a stink about it, and
they quickly were like, oh, you're gonna be that upset
about it. We'll we'll just move on.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Yeah, the leverage was is the fact that you know,
Chisholm was younger, We're going to keep him longer, and
he really is not comfortable at third base. And it
was showing in his batting, even though when he's come
off the a l he's hitting probably four hundred right
now and just with power. He just hit two home
runs today, you know, so we needed Chisholm to be comfortable.

(45:00):
Seems like today he's back at second. The past two
days he's been back at second and he had three
he's hit in three whole months, and it's like, yes,
feel comfortable, Jazz you a man.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Yeah, I think keeping going on, I think he can
probably get comfortable back at second base because I would think,
i mean, depending on what's available out on the trademarket.
In a couple of weeks, I would think, Yeah, the
Yankees are looking more for a third baseman because they
need more pop. You're not gonna usually you're not getting.
We have Paraza except for Dan Uglas one year as

(45:36):
an All Star. You're not getting the kind of pop
y'all need at second.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Yeah, Parazza like he's ultimate glove man like that guy
has done some wizard stuff and but he's bad in
one sixty. So I mean he needs to stake a
stint down in the triple A double as for a
little bit longer. But we've been open to saying we
need a starter or relief and a infielder. And the
infielder is not gonna be first. It's not gonna be second,

(46:01):
it's not gonna be short.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
It's third.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Yeah, naturally, it's looking like third. I think we're set
up because of because there's so many teams that are,
you know, like my Rangers, that are not in the
heart of a playoff race, but aren't ready to fully
sell because of potentially getting hot and making a wild
card run. I saw this stat twenty twenty three, the

(46:26):
year the Rangers won the World Series. I don't think
a lot of even Ranger fans remember how poorly the
second half of that season went. So they start the year.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Putting up, not won the World Series.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Regular second half of that regular season went. I mean,
they started the first half of the regular season, they
were on pace and breaking some you know, like nineteen
twenties Yankees offensive numbers. They were insane. Every the whole
lineup was having career first half of the season, and
so expectations rose, and it was you know, Simon and

(47:03):
Seeger being like all of a sudden, it's like, oh,
this is this is just what it's gonna look like
for years now. And then the second half of that
year twenty twenty three, the year they would go on
to win the World Series. They ended the second half
of the year with their last seventy seven games. They
were a game under five hundred. They were forty three
and forty four for the second half of the season.

(47:26):
And did I miss that?

Speaker 1 (47:27):
So they had the.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Range, they blew the they blew the division. They lost
the division on the last day day of the season.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
You're talking, you're talking about the Rangers winning the World Series.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
Yeah, they had a great first half and then they
were terrible in.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Uh where was I like, I'm totally blinked on that
year two years ago?

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Yeah, Yeah, I didn't know that's all all.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Maybe because I was like, all you Astro fans going
to be Ranger fans again?

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Who did didn't who did y'all play in that run?

Speaker 1 (48:01):
I think we missed the playoffs?

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Yeah, I was about to say, because I was thinking
it was Orioles raised when Judge was hurt. Yeah, it
was Orioles raised from the Al East, and then it
was Rangers, Astros and then Cleveland or someone randomly from
the Central Yeah, I just as much as I hope,
uh we're getting an inverse of that this year where

(48:23):
it's a terrible first half and then they turn it on.
I don't think you're gonna get that without any kind
of additions being made. So I think we're setting up
for a pretty interesting lead up to the trade deadline
because there's so many teams that aren't willing to sell yet,
which also could stunt some of the moves because there
might not be as much available. Yeah, outside of your

(48:45):
cellar dwellers.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
I mean, we just we need the starter, man, because
you know, Mark's Schmidt went down, but we got Shitler, Schlittler.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
You keep calling him Mike Schmidt like he's the Hall
of Fame third baseman and he's just starting Schmidt, right, Yes,
Clark Clark, Yeah, man, Yeah, because.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
I'm like, why am I keep calling him Mike Smith?

Speaker 2 (49:09):
On Monday too, and I was sitting here thinking I
was looking at some old baseball cards the other day,
and I was just like.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Oh, man, look I remember Mike Smith, you know.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
And it was like, but no, yeah, it's Clarksmith man
anyway to way, way too much information in this head.
But what you call it, we like, we just called
up this kid today. Parents got in the van with
all their family members and drove up to the Yankee game.
Has first start, first time of the show, throwing a hundred.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Oh, I got a fun fact for you about throwing
a hundred.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
Yeah, he's throwing a hundred. He's going at it. Man,
he looked like a professional. He's six foot seven, so
it's a tall kid. That ball is getting on I
mean that ball, when you're that tall, that ball gets
to the plate faster. So one hundred looks like one
hundred and five. And this kid has a lot of promise. Man,
But of course, like anything, they're gonna get some get

(50:05):
some information on him and start dissecting them and seeing
where he can.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
You know, get touched up. But I'm excited for him.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
He was number eighteenth prospect in the league, our Yankees
number two prospect, you know, so he went he only
had five games in the Triple A damn so and
then he got then he got the call shove because
he's got he's got the.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Stuff, And you talked well talking about got the stuff
someone that the league hasn't figured out yet after their
first few starts. Have you you've been following the miz
up in Milwaukee?

Speaker 1 (50:42):
I haven't seen that.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Yeah, Jacob Mizzerowski, Yeah, he is insane, dude. He struck
out twelve again last night. I mean he's on throwing
a hundred plus throwing.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
He hit like a home run on him. Then he
went on to just like dismantle the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
So last night the Brewers as a unit, as a
pitching unit, they had four guys started the Miserowski started
the game, and then it went Koenig, Uribe and McGill
and McGill's a stud at the back end of that bullpen.
On fastballs last night, as a team, the Brewers averaged

(51:22):
ninety nine point three miles an hour. As a team
between the four of those guys, every fastball they threw
averaged ninety nine point three miles an hour. That is insane.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
That's just heat.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
That's just a sign of how much different baseball is
now compared to even like ten years ago.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
But then you have if you have a fastball hitting team.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Remember who started this series season out with the Milwaukee
Oh y'all they yeah in the torpedo bats, and the
torpedo bats been everything.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
That's the only reason why we were good.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Yeah they haven't. Milwaukee hadn't called up the miss yet.
That bullpen is looking a little different to halfway through
the season than to start. You have any interest in
the home run derby.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
I want to see what Roley does.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Oh, he had another home run? Well, you know they're
playing the Yankees. Yeah, he's up to six now him
and Judge hit another home or so what's the Judge now? Too? Behind?
Stayed two behind.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Two behind? Okay, you'll catch them. But there's only people
should He's tied because Ray's a catcher. He's tied right
now for the most home runs for any catcher ever
in MLB history, nobody, no other catcher has hit more
than thirty six.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Home runs in a full season. In a full season, dude,
I missed that. That takes he's tied.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Who's he tied with? I mean you could probably put
like I'm yogi up there, maybe like, oh.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
It's got to be one it's got to be someone
but like Posey more maybe yeah, more of an offensive
minded guy.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Yeah, Posada was an offensive I don't know.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Yeah, he never would have had because okay, all right, okay,
you're the most home runs by a catcher in a season.
Is Salvador Perez the Royals legendary catcher. Yeah, we need
to start. I need to start checking your stats before
you throw them out, because you're trying to tell me
Clark or Mike Schmidt was pitching for the Yankees and

(53:28):
now you're telling me cal Salvador Perez had forty eight
home runs in the twenty twenty one season. So maybe
what I think, maybe what you saw is most home
runs before as well as he was playing catcher, because
he Perez also was d hing and I think Rawley
has as well some this season.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Oh so I think.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
There it's an interesting like as a game he started
at catcher.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
That a minimum minimum minimum amount of games catching or
something like that.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
If Johnny Bench had a forty five home run season,
thirty eight of them as he was playing catcher instead
of I guess he wouldn't have been d hing. Yeah,
Hobby Lopez, there's another one with the Braves forty three,
forty two as a catcher.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
I'm going to kill that Yankees announcer. That's what I'm
going to do.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Well, you need to just stop listening to those Northeasterns.
Maybe like I'm over there like half with their fake news.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Maybe they were talking like I don't know, man, how
did they Why would they say that?

Speaker 2 (54:31):
They just don't want you to know how great cal
Rawley is. Maybe it is al like, no, that would
make sense because none of that well no, because Salvador
Perez was Royal's al. Anyway, the home run Derby, I
was wrong. I used to love it as a kid
like and I think you know, having Berman doing the

(54:52):
call was just perfect.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Yeah, all the bad go.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
The one thing I will give MLB or the home
run Derby, unlike the NBA where the stars aren't doing
the slam dunk contest. Here's the commitment so far for
the home run Derby. That's next Monday night. It'll be going.
It'll be live as we're doing the show next Monday.
So you mentioned cal Rawley today. O'Neill Cruz, the Pirates

(55:26):
stud center fielder hits the ball harder miles per hour
wise than anyone in baseball. Ronald Acuna Junior coming back
from the from the terrible injury two years or a
year and a half ago, star, absolute star, power, lesser
known James Wood Washington Nationals. I mean he's a he's

(55:50):
a power guy, but not a national name. And then
Byron Byron Buxton of the Twins. It's hard to be
a national name when you're playing in Minnesota. But between
Kyle Rawley, Acuna Junior and Oel Cruz, who is one
of the most you see his highlights on social because
he's just he's a flashy player.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
So I mean, not the best lineup I've ever seen
at a home run derby, but they do make it
fun and I do love the fact that what was it,
Raley's got his dad's gonna be pitching to him.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Oh that's a mistake, that's that never goes well.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
And his brother is gonna be catching.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Okay, the catcher doesn't matter as much. I think it
was either who was Nelson Cruz at one point that
had his like original like Dominican childhood coach throw and
he was like he hit him with one of them.
It was like you need, I like use your team's
pitching coach, someone that you're used to singing. If you

(56:50):
actually care, it does go the other way though, because
I wanted to say, in Bryce Harper's deck, Yeah right,
and Josh Hamilton had his high school baseball coach throw
to him. He didn't win, but it was the year
he hit like what thirty one home runs and.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
Yeah, say that was the one where they did it
in segments and stuff. They they've changed up the home
run derby and like what was it they had they
changed it up to instead of having the outs to
timed event because of one Aaron Judge smashed, just kept
smashing home runs, ruined his swing for the season.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
That's the other thing I was gonna ask you, do
you buy into any of the does one evening of
swinging for the fences throw off an entire off season
and half the season. It's all in here. If you
think Judge isn't mentally strong enough to handle.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
When it was his second third year, yeah, I guess
he wasn't. I guess he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
At least we can.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
I know he was with his in his head during
the playoffs last year. Yeah, again, I guess halpens the ballplayers, man,
You gotta like.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Oh ask Texas A and m zone chuck knoblock, yeah,
block with that.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Knuckle, Yeah, those yips?

Speaker 2 (58:06):
Or who was the Shane ain Kill, the Cardinals pitcher
who ended up coming back and playing or rick An
Kill ended up coming back playing outfield. I think he
ended up hitting a few home runs as a Rangers outfielder.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
Oh wow, I believe.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
Did you see that they're coming out with a thirty
for thirty documentary on.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Abbott?

Speaker 3 (58:29):
I forget his first name, the one handed the picture
that was born.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that through the through the no hitter.
Was it no hitter or a perfect game?

Speaker 1 (58:38):
No, it was a no hitter. I think he had Jim, Yeah,
Jim Avity, he like had it.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
Also was a gold glove. Imagine that, and you're a
gold glove. And he was about to get cut and
the game before he had a horrible game, and I
think it was in the playoffs, and the next one up,
the coach talked about sitting them and just being like,
we're just gonna keep you as like a long relief pitcher,

(59:09):
and he talked him into starring and then he got
a no hitter.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
And yeah, well I remember everybody remembers that guy. If
you're if you were born in.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
The late eighties or late eighties or early eighties, you
remember the one handed pitcher that dominated.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
I remember when he made an appearance on Boy Meets
World as a celebrity to convince Corey Matthews to Topanga,
broke your heart. Guess what, I've only got one hand
and I threw a no hitter in nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
So pumping up Kidga broke many hearts.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Uh, Corey got his. Corey got revenge in the skiing
episode when they were all snowed in at the ski resort.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
Oh man, well he hit to Benga's sister.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
I'm suggesting he might have been better off with the
with the ski instructor or whoever it was. In that up.
I could talk, we could do a whole deep dive.
Uh yeah, no, I was. I was curious to see
where because I was thinking about it today when I
saw the headline that O'Neill Cruz had accepted the invitation,
and then I realized, like, it's going to be happening

(01:00:18):
tomorrow night or Monday night while we do a show. Yeah,
should are we even? Do we have any interest level?
On having it on a screen, well have it, like we'll.

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
Have so much time in between the batters and stuff
like that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
So now we won't do it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
We're not doing a watch party for the home run
Derby like I could be.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
Well, you know, I found that TV for our studio.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Yeah, there is talk of Cap securing a studio TV
for us, so we don't have to whip LG fifty.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
Five dollars out of my pocket. But it's a fifty
five inch man.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
I was like fifty five dollars for every inch in
some parts of the world. That's a that's a hell
of a deal.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Let's talk some NBA before we before.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
We get into the vein, so if you have to ask,
you can't handle it. Let's talk a little NBA before
we get into the main segment. Because there was Spurs
made another deal. Not it was you know, announced out
of nowhere, but it's a deal that makes a lot
of sense and a lot of people's death. Not only

(01:01:23):
so the deal on the surface, it's Malachi Brandham twentieth
pick from his draft, Blake Wesley twenty fifth pick from
that same draft. Two guys that you were hoping you're
taking in the twenties, you're hoping one of them pops
to develop into more than a role player. Yeah, you know,
Wesley showed more seemingly interest in trying to develop himself.

(01:01:48):
Brandham seemed a little disconnected, and I think he never
recovered from thinking he was going to be drafted higher
than he was. And you know, even last year was
sent down to Austin to play games so.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Aren't losing and didn't take it too well.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
It seems seemingly a little bit, a little bit the case.
Uh you could even argue the second round pick they
included in the deal, uh is is actually holding more
valuable or more value than either of the players. Although
it's a twenty twenty six second round pick, but it's
the least favorable of of the ones they have available,

(01:02:23):
so they didn't give up their best second round pick
to make this deal nice. And then coming back from
Washington is Kelly O. Lennox, one of my one of
the first doppel gangers I ever found in live when
he was you know, I'm a huge Gonzaga fan, as
he was exactly yeah, well, and he wore before before

(01:02:45):
a lot of people did. He wore the little like
thin tennis band. Yeah, that that a lot of chicks wear.
But uh, you know, if you're comfortable, if you're if
you don't need a buffer seat, and you're comfortable in
your sexuality.

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
Yeah I would. I would put that long.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
I put the headband on just and I'm getting sweat
in the eyes of playing tennis.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
Yeah, he was rocking that back at Gonzaga. So one,
he's a long haired, tall stiff that shoots threes. I'm
already in. Two he's playing at Gonzaga double Like, I
couldn't be more in at that point. But yeah, you
mentioned it. It's great depth for the Spurs. It's another
big man to add to the rotation. He you know,

(01:03:28):
I mentioned a stiff that shoots threes. He was forty
two last year career high on three pointers on a
on a heavy volume, and he moves well for seven
foot he's.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
So he's gonna be like this backup for Winby. So
Winby goes out, this man might be able and you
run the same game.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
Yeah, I think you're gonna see he's not. He's not
as he's nowhere close to a perimeter creator, but he's
also not a ball stopper on the perimeter. He's a
good kind of like we were talking about Luke Cornett,
who they also signed between you know, Cornett has the
bigger financial commitment. Olynics an expiring deal at like thirteen million.

(01:04:13):
But another thing to think about, Spurs now have Harrison
Barnes expiring deal of nineteen million, Olynicx expiring deal of
thirteen million. That's thirty two million dollars of expiring salary.
That's a really good way to start the framework of
a bigger deal if they you know, if hell, if
they have forty wins at the trade deadline and all

(01:04:35):
of a sudden, people you realize, well, the timeline has
and you know, moved ahead exponentially. Now we are interested
in doing a big deal. It's a good it's a
good contract to have to move on for.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
A playoff run because we're going to make the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Yeah, it's well, I will say this, he's a guy.
He plays, he leads to playoff basketball.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
He's not a guy that's going to get you there
on his own or anything like. It's nothing more than
a bench depth pick up. But it's a great guy
to have as the ninth guy coming off the footer.

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
Pulled seven foot off the bench. I can stretch the
floor exactly and shoot threes. And it wasn't just last
body down low on defense.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
He's physical, he's Uh, it wasn't just his career high
last year. The last three years he's combined over forty
percent on threes. So he's a consistent threat, consistent option. Uh.
And it gives you a little bit of a different
look than Cornett's going to be more of your old
school you know, true big man a Lennox is gonna

(01:05:44):
let it fly from the outside. So it's a good
option to have a matchup wise, if you're looking to
fill those backup center minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:05:53):
And I think you can like learn like I think
both him and Wemby can learn from each other. Oh,
for sure, he's got the he's got a little experience
and when we can be like, hey, if you do
this and that, you know, pull the defense this way.
Like I said, it seems like they're both x's and
those guys that can sit there and.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
They know the floor for sure and they know how
it's supposed to work.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
Yeah, not surprisingly, you know, the Spurs clearly had prioritized
basketball IQ in you know, acquiring a backup big man
and Cornett might have the highest IQ of literally any
player in the league and a Linux uh you know,
solid good basketball IQ as well. So you got a

(01:06:36):
couple of smart veterans to serve a couple of smart
as your back as your back backup big men at
the end of the bench should mention I think I'm
gonna watch tomorrow night as the we get to see
the number one pick and the number two pick back
to back on ESPN. You got MAVs Cooper flag versus

(01:06:59):
the Lakers seven, and then I can't remember who the
Spurs are playing, but uh, Spur or seventy six ers,
Spurs and six Ers at nine o'clock. So you get
number one pick and then number two pick, and you're
probably not gonna see many more games. I bet if
Cooper plays more than tomorrow night.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Yeah, if he plays even more than fifteen to twenty minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Yeah, I think that's max. And I would say the
same about Dylan Harper as well. I think the Spurs
there's no reason. It feels almost like you let him
play long enough to get a couple of highlights and
then you pull him out because you just want the hype,
You just want the energy you just want.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
Gotta sell the tickets exactly. You've got to create the
excise that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
Was man that they need to get the girl like,
you know, I'm you know, I'm not the one where
it's like a girl can't do a.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
Guys job, blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
No, but her play by play was god awful. Man,
which one oh on the summer League?

Speaker 3 (01:07:59):
Yeah, yeah, like yesterday, it was just she was way behind.
There was dead air. It was just she couldn't get them.
She couldn't talk fast enough. Don't get it confused.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
It's not a h's. It's possible for both genders to
be bad at that job. And we've heard quite a
bit of males that are bad at that job. So
when you hear a female, you don't get a pass
just because like if you're bad, you're bad. Yeah, that's
the unfortunate.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
You gotta work on it, work on your art, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
One of the better ones recently the I don't think
she's with the team now since they moved out of Oakland.
But the Oakland A's were using a really high pitched
female or a female with a really high pitched voice
to be their stadium announcer, so it'd be.

Speaker 5 (01:08:47):
Like, oh, it was so and it just did it
just didn't match the like this these jobs, this voice
and this job don't match each other.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
Sorry deep hey, deep deep voice.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
They do something yeah, like solid radio voice, solid DJ,
you know, smooth jazz like David Muno is that great
classic iconic voice. Uh. There are jobs that come yeah,
or or the or the Happy Hour DJ at PTS.

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
Yeah, one other cinnamon on the side stage.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
Only other notes I had. There were a couple of
other trades, but nothing that you know, really moved any
kind of needle. I did like the move that the
heat the heat did to get Powell from the Clippers,
but it doesn't That doesn't change anything in the East.
But the more interesting news before we get into the

(01:09:44):
main segment, had a couple of rookie extensions signed today
and this is where it starts to get really interesting
for Oklahoma City. So we'll start with the MAT signed
Paalo Buncaro to a five year max rookie extension. It
can get up to as much as like two hundred

(01:10:06):
and eighty seven million if he continue, if he hits all,
you know, for like first or second team all NBA
all of that or wins MVP. The interesting thing about
his deal, it's four years with a player option in
the fifth year, and that might not sound like a lot,

(01:10:27):
but he's the first rookie to get a five year
MAX with a actually being a four year. Yeah, and
then the one player option get he's the first to
get that since Luca and Trey Young signed their mass
extensions in twenty twenty one.

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
So it's besides, I guarantee you when't he's gonna get
that five Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
No question, No, he'll get. It's not the it's it's
the player option that change like giving them because what
it is, it's trying to sweeten the relationship of like, look,
we we're gonna want to try to resign you in
four years, but we also understand it's better for you
financially to opt out a year earlier unless there's catastrophic

(01:11:09):
injury or something, and then we'll resign you to a
new max deal so that that number, you know, increases.
Oklahoma City CHET, So we're talking about the number one
wonderbread and the number two he could eat. He should
eat some more wonderbread. The number one and the number two.
Pick from that draft. Chet doesn't get any kind of option.

(01:11:31):
His is a straight five year max level extension and
it could get up to about two hundred and fifty million.
So Oklahoma City.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Now, how is that kid gonna get?

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
Like, I mean, he's not gonna get anywhere near the
money that some of these other players are gonna get
like Pollo, because he's not gonna be first team NBA.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
He's not gonna be second team NBA.

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
I mean there's a good chance. You look at his
you know, he had what five blocks? He had the
most blocks in an NBA Finals in three decades. He
had five blocks in Game seven. The reason I say
that is potentially his option or his route to get
there would be Defensive Player of the Year. Yeah, because
like Evan Mobley this year, I don't think anyone, I.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
Think Chit has any possibility.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Again, in that one, sure he averages two and a
half blocks a game. Yeah, I think Wimby would he
just crushes him. But again, like this year, it should
have been Wimby, but it wasn't because of injury. So
someone had to win it, and it was Evan Mobley
and that ends up jacking up his salary in Cleveland,
where all of a sudden, Cleveland's looking around at their cap.

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
Sheet, and I still see as a defensive enforcer like
he should be.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
So his plus minus when he was on the court
in the playoffs, he was a plus one seventy nine.
And I know that's not the greatest stat ever, but
it does give you a good snapshot of when he's
on the court, his team scores more points than the
opposing team, and I think a lot of that does

(01:13:02):
revolve around his you know, over two blocks a game.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
Defensively, I think that has more to do with and floor.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
But if you're if you're.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
Blocking two shots a game, that's two shots that the
other team is missing every single game. And that's you know,
when you're looking at the top shot blockers in the league,
it's Wemby, it's go Beart, it's Chet, and that isn't
incredibly I think that injuries are the bigger issue. I mean, obviously,
I just like Wemby. I think anytime you have a

(01:13:34):
guy that tall, that fluid, and that athletic, unfortunately, I
think the injuries are just you're bracing for them and
preparing for them instead of being caught off guard by them. Obviously,
Chet missed whole rookie season and then missed you know,
half of this season or almost half of this season

(01:13:56):
with injury as well. So the question for Oklahoma City
as small market Oklahoma City, they just gave SGA the
biggest contract in NBA history. They've now committed potentially two
hundred and fifty million for the next five years. To
check they got to get a deal with Jaylen Williams
done next his you know, really the timeline on that

(01:14:19):
is over the next eight months to get that deal done.
And then you've got three guys that are all on
max contracts. That's where you start to lose your Caruso's,
your Hartenstein's, your you know, Wiggins or other you know.
I think they're looking to Key in case of Wallace
is now you're starting shooting guard instead of lou Dort

(01:14:41):
because you can't afford lou Dort.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
I think they like they're holding on to it for
a year or two and then there's gonna be peteing
big pieces.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
This is it's the same thing Boston did this year
where you pick two of the guys and the rest
of them, you know, you pick Tatum and Brown and
then you trade Drew Holliday Porzingis, and you have a
guy like Derek White who's not on a MAX, who
would honestly be more like their lou Dort where they're

(01:15:08):
gonna have to eventually choose between because SGA is not
going anywhere. Eventually they're gonna have to choose between Chet
and Jalen. But that's years, three years down the road potentially,
which is also the scary thing because they were, you know,
just became the second youngest team to ever win an
NBA championship. So scary, very very scary, don't I don't

(01:15:31):
like it for the rest of the West, especially considering
it's in Oklahoma City. But enough NBA talk. Let's jump
into our main segment where we're gonna jump back into
our NFL divisional previews. I mentioned at the top, I wasn't.
I wasn't. I figured this one would go a lot

(01:15:52):
like Mondays would until I actually kind of started digging
through and remembering that, oh, okay, yeah, they did sign
that guy or they did trade for that guy. You
know it hadn't it had fallen from top of mind
from back during the offseason. And I will start with

(01:16:12):
the same way we did Monday Vegas predictions. This is
just what Vegas is saying. Ravens are at eleven and
a half wins, same as the Bills were. They're in
that second tier of expected wins Bengals nine and a
half wins, which.

Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
I mean, we all know Joe Burrow mcaulay Kochan himself,
he can sling that ball.

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
He got his receivers.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
They had to pay big money to keep t Higgins
and that just means they couldn't shure up their offensive line.
Burrow is going to get touched up, and then the
defensive side, like we talked about earlier, Hockins.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
In no way it was it Hendrickson.

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
Hendrickson, he's holding out. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
He's thirty years old. He wants a four year contract.
They've offered him a two year contract with guarantee money,
but he wants that four year with like ninety million guarantees.

Speaker 1 (01:17:11):
Hea.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
He's thirty years old.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
He wants he won last payday.

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
He was the sack leader last year, and you know,
they just don't have the money or they like, you know,
they chose it seems like they chose Higgins over Hendrickson.

Speaker 2 (01:17:27):
Yeah, I think they the interesting one. We'll talk about
the Bengals specifically, because I've got some interesting because they
also resigned Jamar Chase, which was the no brainer. Yeah,
the Higgins one is where it gets a little questionable.
But Vegas has Bengals nine and a half is the line.
They have the Steelers at eight and a half, and

(01:17:51):
then they have the Browns four and a half, tied
with the Saints for the lowest total in the entire NFL.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
Do you think that rock.

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
There? There were times last year and it looked bad
last he did, but last towards the end of the season,
there were at least moments where I thought, Okay, maybe
this isn't fully an Aaron Rodgers problem. Maybe this is
still more of a you know, Robert Sala New York

(01:18:23):
Jets chaos, probably Jets. Yeah, So we'll start at the
top and uh, this division specifically, it's been actually incredibly
balanced excluding the Browns. The Browns have The Browns have
never won this division one time. They've never won it.
They haven't since the since they came back as the Browns,

(01:18:47):
they haven't won any division ever. So excluding the brown
Pittsburgh since two thousand and two, Pittsburgh has won this
division nine times. Baltimore's won it eight times, and then
Cincinnati is surprising to me, has won it six times.
It doesn't feel like Cincinnati almost has as many division wins.

(01:19:08):
But then I Carson Palmer and yeah, you know Carson
Palmer and Marvin Lewis back when he was coaching them
to division.

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
I think they got like four with Palmer, right and
now two with Swedo, Cho Senko, Chad Johnson and TJ.

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
Huschman Zada. That was, yeah, that that number kind of
jumped out at me as a surprise. But Baltimore is
still chasing Pittsburgh for the most division titles since two
comfortably did.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
Like in Baltimore, they re signed Derrick Henry on a
two year.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
Two year.

Speaker 3 (01:19:49):
He still looks like he wants to run like he's
going to kill your whole family.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
You know, I had notes, you know it does how
much longer can Derek Henry do this? Like how like
he's he's that man, He's running like he's twenty six.

Speaker 1 (01:20:04):
He's king. Have you seen the workout videos of him
running up the hill?

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
God?

Speaker 3 (01:20:07):
Yeah, it's just like, man, he's getting that. He's getting
at it right now, you know what I'm saying. And
you got z Flowers who kind of came into his
own last year. It started to, yeah, started to put
up some numbers because that's always been the Achilles Hill
of the Ravens was the receivers, because he just had

(01:20:28):
what you would call it his tight end to throw
it to Mark Andrews unfortunately made that drop.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
I had that noted too, the Mark Andrews dropped game
tying two point conversion against the Bills last year. But
it's the other tight end likely, Yeah, that is really
I think poised for the breakout because you also remember
in Week one last year his toe was on the
line on in the end zone when he caught what

(01:20:56):
should have been the game winning touchdown against the Chiefs.
So and both of those guys are on contract years,
which is interesting too because thirty and likely he's like
twenty twenty five. Andrew I thought he was like thirty
two thirty is that he might be. I think he's
a little older.

Speaker 3 (01:21:15):
But Andrews, I mean it just looks like he's gone,
like he's like a Jason Winn.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
How he's still twenty nine. He turns thirty in September. Bodies,
he's just exactly in exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
I was gonna say he's like a Jason Win where
he's just like he still catches the ball and run
the route. But you know, he's not that playmaker. You
know where this is going for a touchdown. I'm gonna
I'm this is just going for a first down.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
Yeah, he's the guy that knows exactly where he needs
to be across the middle to get his team a
third down on third and five. Yeah, and he's gonna
be it's gonna be a six yard rould.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
And they had DeAndre Hopkins.

Speaker 3 (01:21:53):
I think DeAndre Hopkins leaving you know, Arizona, which was bad,
and went to another bad team, which was Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
I believe.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
I don't think he was motivated, you know, and I
think when you have moti unmotivated receivers, they do not
perform well. But in my mind, I still think he
can do what DeAndre Hopkins can do.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
Yeah, you want to talk about a guy that's past
the age you thought Andrews was that? Though, how much
does Hopkins have left at thirty three going on thirty
four years old? I guess he'll be thirty four next summer.
He's a summer bro. Didn't he like sit out? A
whole year. Yeah. I just think very rarely unless you
are elite, elite at the receiver position, and he was

(01:22:40):
expecting he was.

Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
But he was always in the top three conversation until
the last three years.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
I was about to say it, but he hasn't been
since he turned thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:22:49):
Yeah, And that's why I think he was just unmotivated
because like Kyler Murray, it was the Kyler Murray drama. A.
It was the Houston having to get traded for nothing,
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
Yeah by Bill O'Brien.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
Yeah, Bill O'Brien just saying if you on the way out,
you know what I'm saying, and then he goes there
with Kyler Murray and all the drama there. It's just like,
I feel like he was always just unmotivated and.

Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
I'm not sure motivated. If he's motivated now, I'm not
sure it's going to change the fact that he's thirty
three years old and that's that's where they have him on.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
They have his number, have him as number three on
the dead chart too.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
So yeah, exactly, he's not going to be because they
also re signed uh, you know, Rashad Bateman, Yeah, uh
to a three year deal.

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
And they had Tylan Wallace, who was an OSU cowboy.
That dude can that dude can catch, and he's tall
and he he was he was putting up numbers.

Speaker 1 (01:23:45):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
He was in the running for Heisman towards the end
of the year, but he just didn't get the enough
votes on his one year with os U, Which is
what we do. We get one good receiver, pump up
those numbers, and then they go to the draft.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
Hey take guys that have questionable past that are playing.

Speaker 1 (01:24:05):
Juk kick your baby mama in the stomach.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
Speaking of second chances are the Ravens also signed a
couple of cowboys a Cooper rush Is now two years
quarter and then Cheetah bay O Woozie, who I used
to love hearing Brad Sham try to pronounce that name
when he was a cowboy.

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
Yeah, I think it's clear. The question to me is
the Ravens are clearly still going to rely on Derrick Henry.
He's he is the number one weapon outside of Lamar
Jackson on that offense and in the NFL in twenty
twenty five, is as good as Derrick Henry is? Is

(01:24:53):
that enough to really overlook the lack of weapons elsewhere
because outside I mean we talked, we just went through
that wide receiver group. It's not anywhere near the league's worst,
but they're still you know, I think Isaiah likely is
probably the biggest receiving weapon they have on offense. And

(01:25:15):
is that is a team that has a tight end
as the best receiving option and is led by a
running back. Is that a style of play that can
get you past Kansas City when you all of a
sudden you need to put points on the board.

Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
I think they're going to focus more on the other
receivers and stuff. You know, guess who's not on Baltimore anymore?

Speaker 2 (01:25:40):
Uh, Steve Smith old Tuck Tuck. Oh yeah, they do
have a new kicker, kicker that whole Justin Tucker. That's
a that's a rough look. Yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:25:55):
Last year to that made it these That's the thing
that made easy to be like see you if they again.

Speaker 2 (01:26:02):
It's a it's a merit based league. Why do you
think guys like Greg Hardy kept getting multiple second, third,
and fourth opportunities or uh, you know, the list goes on.
What was the Randy Gregory? You know, guys like that,
You know that that keep popping up high.

Speaker 1 (01:26:20):
So you want a bed full of guns.

Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
And and and ask you which you pick? You choose
which one you want to die by. That was Greg
Hardy's exact words to one of his one of his
former lovers. Now, I I just have when I think
about the Ravens and the rest of the AFC, there's
only two teams that the Ravens are probably looking up at,

(01:26:47):
and I think clearly they're looking up at Kansas City,
and just based off of the results from last year,
they're looking up to Buffalo. I would I feel way
more confident in Buffalo being a team that that knocks
off Kansas City than Baltimore because the other, unfortunately, the

(01:27:07):
other narrative that actually has some data to support it
is Lamar. Jackson is MVP Top three every year in
the regular season and then in the playoffs. The last
three years he has a twenty fourth best QBR. Yeah,
so Lamar playoff. Lamar is very different than regular.

Speaker 3 (01:27:29):
Season good defense. Good defenses contain, it's contained defense. They're like,
you're not gonna get on the outside, the guy run
in the middle, and then we're going to collapse and
bad defenses bite and all of a sudden. Lamar Jackson's
got it on the outside. But it seems like this
division is going against the NFC Central or is that

(01:27:55):
what you call it, NFC it's either NFC North or
in it's NFC North, which is the best division in
football possibly Green Bay.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
Detroit, Minnesota, Chicago.

Speaker 3 (01:28:09):
Yeah, and that's that's tough. Yeah, man, So like they're
gonna be tested. They're gonna be tested. I'm looking at there.
This is completely different from any.

Speaker 1 (01:28:19):
Of the the lineups I saw last podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
Yeah, the Bills have a much easier route to clear
that eleven and a half number.

Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
That first game with the Bills is that that's Sunday
Night football, first game of the season, and then they
go they get a pass with the Browns. Then it's Lions, Chiefs, Texans, Rams.
Bears might be the only easy one after that, Dolphins maybe,
but that's at in Miamiyah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
Bears have a former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as
head coach now too, so I think they're gonna be
a little more salty than they were last year. In
Caleb Williams rookie year.

Speaker 1 (01:28:58):
Yeah, I'm only seeing three, only seeing three that I
would be like, hands down you got this.

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
That's why I think that two of them are the Browns.
Their division, Vegas has the number at eleven and a half.
I think the number is eleven, and I think that
is assuming they win more of those fifty.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
Fifth games, assuming no injuries.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
Yeah, that Derrick be If we're seeing Cooper Rush taking
snaps in week eight, week nine, yeah, hey, he was.

Speaker 1 (01:29:26):
Winning record, best best QB in Dallas.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
Winning record. You can't take that away from him. Uh Yeah,
that number feels high for the Ravens. But if you
if you believe, uh you know, Dane Bugler, great draft analyst,
had the Ravens as one of his three best draft classes.
And they loaded up on the defensive side of the
ball and the offensive line, and they re signed Ronnie Stanley, uh,

(01:29:53):
the offensive tackle. So yeah, it's there's a lot of
carry over.

Speaker 1 (01:29:57):
There's a lot always trenches.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
Yeah yeah, And I think again of the question comes
down to in twenty twenty five, is a run first
offense enough compared when you have to go through the
Chiefs or you have to go through Josh Allen and
the Bill.

Speaker 1 (01:30:15):
Would you would you consider the Eagles run first offense? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
what Yeah, the Niners.

Speaker 3 (01:30:20):
When you run first offense, yeah, when we had our
run with McCaffrey, Yeah yeah, and then like you can
get there.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
But I don't think you're run first. I think there
are certain teams that do it, Like the Eagles do
a way better job of balancing. They are run first,
but they balance it way more than the Ravens do,
or even well.

Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
In the Ravens, but like Kyle Shanna, it was more
of like when they passed the ball, it was just
an outpass, which is a just like a run. Yeah,
just like a run, but it was in passing score.

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
And that's where the Ravens I think, are still like
it's they're led by a hardball.

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
He's looking down field. Yeah, he's always wanting that big play.
Like the Harball was like we need that playmaker, we
need that Tyreek Hill type speed or something. And I'm like, man,
I know Lamar's got that arm, but you know he
I just don't think he has that deep ball accuracy
like some of the greatest, like like Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
You know whose deep ball accuracy is better than Lamars?

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
Who's that Dak Prescott. I wouldn't I wouldn't doubt it, right.

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
That kind of that tells you. That tells you something
about both guys. They're uh so eleven.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
Is good deep balls, but those QB sneaks.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
Eleven and a half you have the under along with me.
It sounds like, yeah, I think. Okay. Moving on Bengals,
this one is they are potentially the biggest wild card
in the a f C to me, because you know,
last year they lost six games where they scored twenty
five points or more. That's tied for the most of

(01:32:01):
any team since two since the year two thousand. It
was awful. And to fix that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:08):
Joey Burrow had fifty times a game man.

Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
They fired longtime defensive coordinator, bring in a new DC,
Al Golden, who just led Notre Dame to one of
the best defensive units in college football last year. Also
a guy that has he's been in the NFL coaching
ranks before that I.

Speaker 3 (01:32:26):
Didn't get into there and being like, oh, yes, I
got one of the best edge rushers in the game.
I can scheme around this and he's on a hole.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
Oh oh okay, well that's fine. Well he holds out
because in April we know he's going to do that.
While he holds out we'll draft edge rusher in the
first round to potentially either play alongside him or to
replace him if we have to move on. Oh wait, now,
imagine that first round draft pick is holding out because you,

(01:32:55):
as an organization, are changing the rookie contract language because
you want to have early termination options available.

Speaker 1 (01:33:04):
To you so they don't get their four years.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
So you don't exactly and a team can do that.

Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
I thought that would.

Speaker 3 (01:33:09):
I thought that was like a player's association type thing
where they had like all the teams had to agree
like the players, like we get this four years.

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
So the poll is the poll is the structure that
every team. That's what you're locked into. But the actual
language of the contract is still open team by team.
So what you have is what you have is Shamar Stewart,

(01:33:38):
their first round pick. He is defiantly holding out doing
interviews with Cincinnati Radio, Cincinnati Media, Cincinnati TV. Oh my god,
and just saying like, look, the last two years, this
language was not in any first round picks contract. Now

(01:34:00):
you're trying to insert it into my contract. I'm not
asking for anything special or extra. I'm just asking that
you use the same language you have the last few years.
Last couple of years, and both sides appear to be
like the Trey Hendrickson contract I think gets worked out
before this first round draft pick contract, which is tells

(01:34:24):
you how. And it's also Cincinnati. It's an organization that
has a history of low balling players and coaches and.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
Not even using their max amount of money.

Speaker 2 (01:34:34):
And having terrible rehab facilities, as Carson Palmer told us
about after he had the catastrophic injury.

Speaker 1 (01:34:41):
It's just it's a bad look.

Speaker 2 (01:34:43):
For a cheap what is thought of already as a
cheap franchise.

Speaker 1 (01:34:47):
Ye, how Carson Palmer didn't change the rule, but Tom
Brady did.

Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
Can't hit funny how that happens, isn't it. It's funny?
And you would have thought again.

Speaker 3 (01:34:55):
Playoffs they had, they were gyeared to run run the
table man they I think, I don't know if they
were Super Bowl favorites, but they were AFC favorites.

Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
Now they were good. They were really good. I the
nine and a half number still scares me because you
know last year defense I mentioned the uh, you know
the six games where they score twenty five or more
points and the offense is going to be exactly the same. Yeah,
there's no questions. On the offensive side of the ball.

(01:35:24):
You re signed Jamar Chase resigned. T Higgins resign, Yeah,
Giseki and Okao ou legend samaj p Ryan also comes
in on a two year deal. I the offense, as
long as Joey Burrow is healthy.

Speaker 1 (01:35:42):
Yeah, they're going to put up twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:35:44):
Five every game. Yeah, I mean there. So it's all
going to come down to a defense that right now
has way more questions than answers, and with the first
year coordinator, which can either be a boost or a struggle.
We've seen anecdotally.

Speaker 1 (01:36:00):
And boss type thing.

Speaker 2 (01:36:02):
But that nine and a half number is scary though,
because I think Joey Burrow is good enough to carry
them to ten wins.

Speaker 1 (01:36:10):
They got like a low floor and a high ceiling.
LA could either be they could win five games this year,
and that could be like.

Speaker 3 (01:36:17):
Yeah, you're playing look at the defense. You're playing the
NFC North. Yeah you got you gotta go through the
NFC North four games on that one. Then you gotta
play Baltimore twice, Then you gotta play Pittsburgh twice.

Speaker 1 (01:36:28):
You know, like even as bad as all those losses.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
Cleveland hurts people like Cleveland's got Miles Garrett, They've got
defensive weapon. Cleveland has more defensive weather.

Speaker 1 (01:36:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
So it's you know, just the accumulation of playing that
physical style of AFC.

Speaker 3 (01:36:47):
Nor the old stat wasn't last year but the year
before last, which we almost did it last year as well.
Whenever you played San Francisco win or loss, the next
game you played.

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
You lost. Yeah, you lost. Yeah because because you beat the.

Speaker 3 (01:37:01):
Beatley beat up and you're like, aching, we took someone
like someone's not playing that game.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
That's that's this whole division to me. And the longer
you know, we're sitting here, start of the second week
of July, I have I don't think trade Hendrickson misses
any regular season games. I think they get that deal
done or he gets traded in training camp and someone
you know, I mean, the first round pick is the

(01:37:29):
one that they got to get that deal.

Speaker 3 (01:37:32):
Trade happened already to get max value.

Speaker 1 (01:37:36):
You know what I'm saying. Unless you give it up
first round picks and you're going with H, then you're
gonna definitely have to cave to the rookie contract. If
you give up give up leaves in any kind of deal.

Speaker 2 (01:37:54):
Uh, then you're you're all of a sudden returning to
the guy that you should have already had signed uh
a month or two ago.

Speaker 3 (01:38:01):
So you know, the one thing that I forgot about is, Man,
I gotta start. I want to I need to pay
attention for my fantasy Uh. Which teams are playing overseas
in Mexico and.

Speaker 2 (01:38:13):
Yeah, I think that's when we have a game in Brazil.

Speaker 1 (01:38:17):
Brazil, South America. Like I think that, man, Like, yeah,
you want this to go global and stuff, But man,
you're asking these guys to do a lot. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:38:29):
Football players are the most beat up people in the world. Yeah,
we can say hockey and whatnot, but they get to
glide on ice and they don't take the hits every
every twenty seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:38:42):
Yeah, but when they hit, they land on hard.

Speaker 1 (01:38:45):
Yeah. But they're.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
Not comfortable grass. Nah, Bengals comfortable turf. Yeah, Bengals nine
and a half. I kind of feel like Vegas is
half a game there. They're tea people to try to
take these overs because I think I think the Ravens
number is eleven and I think the Bengals number is nine.

Speaker 1 (01:39:07):
I think I think it's gonna be a seven, seven
or eight.

Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
I'm even lower.

Speaker 3 (01:39:11):
Yeah, I'm just like their defense. If there wasn't this
much turmoil preseason with their defense, I mean, Burrow's gonna
have to come out and shoot forty you know.

Speaker 2 (01:39:22):
Well okay, And that's the other thing. The last three years.
Last year they started one and four. Two years ago
they started one in three, and then three years ago
they were one and two. So they don't start. They don't.
They haven't started. And I understand one and two isn't
a large sample size, but that's you know, one win
through three weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:39:41):
But year, that one and two year was the year
they went to the super Bowl. Sure you know what
I'm saying so exactly they were geared up.

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
You know, it's hard to start one and four and
come back and be a playoff team in the NFL.
That just the math isn't on your side. Let me
ask you this, then, if you're that low on the Bengals,
the Steelers, who were going to talk about next their
number is eight and a half, are you do you
think the Bengals finished second in this division?

Speaker 1 (01:40:10):
I love how you say Bengals Bengals, Bengals Bengals. Bengals
could call him the Bungles Bungles.

Speaker 2 (01:40:19):
So my grandpa calls them. I go full old man,
backwoods redneck humor, the Bungles and the the vi Queens.

Speaker 1 (01:40:28):
The Viqueens. Oh don't you know?

Speaker 3 (01:40:31):
Uh, I man, you got Aaron Rodgers, you got like
os U z on Olaoma State's own.

Speaker 1 (01:40:39):
Jalen Warren is just like a little cannon ball. He's
like a Ray Rice.

Speaker 2 (01:40:43):
Oh I forgot that? Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:40:46):
Like he's you know, he's definitely the hammer to uh
Kleil Johnson, the backup that's gonna be the lightning. DJ
Metcalf Calvin Austin, the third who came to his own
at towards the end last year.

Speaker 2 (01:41:00):
The Metcalf deal is funny to me because they they
ship George Pickens to Dallas and then immediately trade for DK,
give up a second round pick, and then sign him
to the massive extension. Metcalf wanted a four year, one
hundred and thirty two million dollars deal.

Speaker 3 (01:41:19):
I'm glad to see Hi's out the division. But like
he was like, oh Pickens is a problem player. Then
you're like, well, if you just gave Pickens the money,
But I think they were looking for the size. Yeah,
I think, I mean, Pickens catch radius is with like ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:41:36):
Wouldn't you agree? Though, DK is the better overall receiver
if you're looking at just one year of production.

Speaker 3 (01:41:44):
I think the one like this year he's got he's
got he's got drop problems.

Speaker 1 (01:41:51):
He's got drop problem.

Speaker 2 (01:41:52):
He's a wide receiver in the named Larry Fitzgerald, about
the only receiver ever that hasn't dropped ba oh my god,
even Randy Moss would drop passes.

Speaker 3 (01:42:03):
No, but when you have a drop problem means you
drop more than all right, And he's up there on.

Speaker 2 (01:42:09):
The drop list. Yeah, that's just that's a weird one man.

Speaker 1 (01:42:13):
And it's like, uh, it's like you traded for like
the same guy, same personality, but you got a bigger
person with not as good hands and you and I
think there's speeds.

Speaker 3 (01:42:27):
About the same, you know, but then you have the.

Speaker 1 (01:42:32):
The litter person. But his hands were amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:42:36):
Where he's up there where that's like with his his
best attribute is his hands and the ridiculous catches he
makes and who just wanted to sign a big contract.

Speaker 2 (01:42:49):
And also if you label George Pickens a problem and
that's why you traded him, you also on the defensive
side of the ball. Traded one of your heart and
so leaders Mika Fitzpatrick for Jalen Ramsey, who we were
just talking about Monday night. Maybe Jalen Ramsey was a
part of the problem in the locker room. Oh Miami, right.

(01:43:10):
It seems like reporting is suggesting.

Speaker 1 (01:43:12):
That was clamardy. Dude.

Speaker 3 (01:43:14):
He was on a podcast earlier too. I saw this
where he was just he just went off and was like,
Miami's horrible.

Speaker 1 (01:43:21):
Like I said, their front office is horrible on last.

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
Podcast where they're scared of their players and blah blah
blah blah blah. But like I think Jalen Ramsey, did
they need a cover corner.

Speaker 1 (01:43:32):
Who's better in the slot. Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
Sure, you know, I guess the Steelers did give up
a lot of points last year.

Speaker 1 (01:43:38):
Their line is good with TJ. Watt.

Speaker 3 (01:43:40):
Yeah, they got good linebackers, but their secondary was spec.

Speaker 2 (01:43:44):
They did it, and they did address the secondary pretty solidly.
I mean, we'll see how much Darius Slay has left
after leaving Philadelphia, but he signs a one year, ten
million dollar deal and then sneakily one of my favorite,
uh you know, secondary players, mainly because of the ut
ties Deshaun Elliott. Uh, they gave him a two year deal.

(01:44:05):
And if you're talking, if you're telling me your secondary
was a weak spot last year, and you go out
and you acquire Jalen Ramsey, you signed Darius Slay and
signed to Sean Elliott.

Speaker 3 (01:44:17):
That that's and you got pretty you got one of
the best coaches in the league with Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 2 (01:44:22):
A guy who will not have a losing season.

Speaker 1 (01:44:25):
Dude, ten wins last year, wins with us ross.

Speaker 2 (01:44:29):
So that's so all of that takes us back to
the quarterback spot.

Speaker 3 (01:44:34):
Is Aaron Rodgers still have some of that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:38):
That love juice that he does that go anyone can
get it out of him, Ayahuasca still in his system.
If anyone can get it out of him, Tomlin can
get a ten win season out of forty one year
old Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 3 (01:44:51):
I just but like you know, he's one of those
players where like he checks out if he's not if
he's not motivated or doesn't want to be there, he
checks out. And he checked out with the Jets. Of
course he did halfway through the season, less than halfway
through the season.

Speaker 2 (01:45:06):
That's why I think, you know, we're talking about Tomlin's
ability to always have a winning record. That is why
I think the odds of Aaron Rodgers checking out are low,
because I think they're all. I think they're going to
be consistently close week to week to week to maintain
that focus from Rogers Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 3 (01:45:26):
And I know Toma's not going to push him like
like any other player. He's going to get this special treatment.
But when it comes out, when it comes down to it,
it's Tomlin's team.

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):
Yeah. And they didn't need Aaron Rodgers. I mean they've
made him.

Speaker 1 (01:45:38):
Wait, they Mason Rudolph Miles. Yeah, I know, I know.
I'm just saying that he might have kept a winning season.

Speaker 2 (01:45:45):
I know you love your Oklahoma State cowboy.

Speaker 3 (01:45:47):
I'm not saying the dude went after someone's Miles. He
went after Myles Garrett. There's a screw loose there, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:45:55):
Yeah, that reminds me of the video we're going to
close out with tonight, watching a guy going after someone
that you know how this is going to don't do it.
Don't do one last thought on the Steelers. Uh, Aaron
Rodgers will have a pretty consistent tight end weapon.

Speaker 1 (01:46:14):
Ye fair Yeah, is a fire affair.

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
I think, I think I say friar muth, but it
probably is. He the second half of the season last year,
he led the Steelers in all receiving categories catches, targets, touchdowns,
first down reception.

Speaker 1 (01:46:35):
That did was course downs.

Speaker 2 (01:46:38):
But if you're looking at a forty one year old
Aaron Rodgers and you've got DK Metcalf to open up
the top of a defense and the veteran then you
got ter tied end to you know, attack the middle.
That's that's a nice multi level attack.

Speaker 3 (01:46:53):
How did they I don't know, how did they address
their offensive line because if you don't keep an Rocks, yeah,
that's he gets to be a little whiny little.

Speaker 2 (01:47:02):
Well at forty one years old.

Speaker 1 (01:47:04):
I uh, you know you tying up that line, man.

Speaker 2 (01:47:08):
So they didn't necessarily lose a whole lot, but they
didn't add a whole lot. It's gonna be pretty much
a consistent group from last year. But I something you.

Speaker 3 (01:47:18):
Had happy feats back there justin fields and Russell Wilson he's.

Speaker 1 (01:47:22):
A little happy feet or two.

Speaker 2 (01:47:23):
You know, something tells me.

Speaker 1 (01:47:25):
But Rogers likes staying in the pocket. He'll he'll run
when he has to. But he's forty one. He don't
want to. No, he's in his time, Tom.

Speaker 3 (01:47:33):
Brady face like, I'll check it down three times, but
this ball is coming out within two and a half seconds,
three seconds unless we're doing a play action and I'm
going to that deep route with for you know, DK Metcalf, you.

Speaker 2 (01:47:48):
Know, yeah, just to try to hold it to give
him time to get on top of the defense. I
think the I think that Steelers eight and a half
number fills a little disrespectful to Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 1 (01:48:00):
But once again, they're going against it exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:48:02):
It's a tough, tough and if and if Aaron Rodgers
pops something in week two, yeah, you're you're now, I
mean not that you're guy.

Speaker 1 (01:48:12):
Yeah, you gotta keep him up right? You better. I
wonder who's their offensive coordinator, who's their offensive course?

Speaker 2 (01:48:18):
Oh it's uh, it's what's I was just reading it
this morning. Let's see as Arthur Smith, who former Falcons
head coach, it's his first season as and he they're
switching schemes. They're going back to a lot of different
run scheme, different block scheme. But it's it's going to

(01:48:38):
look different than it did last year, largely because of
the Aaron Rodgers addition. You just can't run the same
offense with him versus Justin Fields or Russ Wilson. So
I give me Steelers, say nine. I think the numbers nine.

Speaker 1 (01:48:57):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:48:58):
I think the Bengals are nine, and I think Pittsburgh
or nine. I think they're both right there in that. Like,
the Steelers don't have nearly the high ceiling that the
Bengals do, but I don't think the Steelers have nearly
as low of a floor as the Bengals do. I
think Bengals could, like you said, anywhere between four and
twelve wins. I think the Steelers are somewhere between seven

(01:49:21):
and nine wins, and I'm a much smaller range.

Speaker 3 (01:49:25):
Looking at the schedule once again, you know Jets in
the beginning, let's oh what a set of Oh the
Steelers play the Jets.

Speaker 1 (01:49:33):
Game one Aaron Rodgers' revenge game?

Speaker 2 (01:49:38):
Can you even call it revenge? For a forty one
second career and get this, I guess he came back.

Speaker 3 (01:49:44):
The second game is against Seattle the DK You got
two revenge games.

Speaker 1 (01:49:50):
Back to back.

Speaker 2 (01:49:51):
Look if if any coach can leverage that to two
wins to exactly exactly get this, and I'm gonna call
team plays for you.

Speaker 1 (01:50:01):
DK.

Speaker 2 (01:50:01):
I kind of love that.

Speaker 1 (01:50:02):
I love it. I kind of loves is going to
air out the ball like I.

Speaker 2 (01:50:07):
Kind of love the fact the Steelers have only had
three coaches in the last eighty years. Basically.

Speaker 1 (01:50:12):
So here's here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:50:13):
When we're talking about overseas, They're going to Dublin to
face the Vikings week four, the Irish.

Speaker 1 (01:50:22):
Look at the Irish.

Speaker 2 (01:50:24):
Yeah, Minnesota, it'll be interesting to talk about the NFC
North once we get there because Minnesota choosing to replace so.

Speaker 3 (01:50:31):
You've got quarterback, so the easy games you got Colts.
I would give them a win on that one, for sure.
I give them a win on the Bears. You know,
I'm not a real Caleb Williams believer. Dolphins at Steelers,
I give that a win.

Speaker 2 (01:50:46):
The fact that the Cowboys won in Pittsburgh last year
on Sunday Night, still like that. That made no Yeah,
that made no sense. Lastly, Browns, we're not going to
spend any time on that. I'll ask you one question,
and by the end of the season, who's the starting
quarterback You've got Joe Flacco? Who I think will start
the year. You got Kenny Pickett, who probably gets cut

(01:51:10):
in training camp.

Speaker 1 (01:51:12):
You've got Gabriel, and they did they drafted two rookie
qbs man Like what the Browns just be browning, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:51:21):
There's not a whole lot. I mean again, Vegas has
them tied for the lowest wins over under four and
a half. I don't think they get five wins. Oh yeah,
this is.

Speaker 1 (01:51:32):
See three or four first round pick once again.

Speaker 2 (01:51:36):
Yeah, this feels like and in a last.

Speaker 3 (01:51:41):
Is closing out the year after they try. I think
so Flacco gets hurt. You know, Deshaun Watson's should be
cut by then.

Speaker 2 (01:51:48):
My biggest hope is that Dylan Gabriel pops and justifies
them taking him in the third round before the owner
forced them to take Shador in the fifth round. Because
that's exactly what happened. Yeah, the coaching staff like kill Gabriel,
and the owner said, I want your.

Speaker 1 (01:52:06):
Door because you know why, because he wants to sell
them jerseys and you have.

Speaker 2 (01:52:11):
A top ten selling jersey this coming season. There's no
question about it. Uh to try last ditch effort to
try to save his job. Kevin Stefanski, head coach, is
taking back over play calling duty, something that he had
success doing before in his career. And they're switching. They're
going to go back to Stefanski's preferred to tight end

(01:52:33):
zone running attack. So also and they jok in a
contract year.

Speaker 1 (01:52:41):
Yeah, they let let Nick Chubb go to the Texans.

Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
How much does Nick Chubb have left though?

Speaker 3 (01:52:46):
I mean that will I mean we'll with limited carries
because they sit there and gave him the ball thirty
times a game. They warm down, but you let him
rush fifteen times a game with Joe Mixon. Texans look scary, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:52:59):
Oh yeah, no, we'll talk.

Speaker 1 (01:53:00):
We're gonna cover.

Speaker 2 (01:53:01):
But you guess who they have is the starter in QB.

Speaker 1 (01:53:06):
Watson.

Speaker 2 (01:53:08):
Watson even I'm sitting here thinking I forgot about he's
hurt though he's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (01:53:15):
Has a question.

Speaker 2 (01:53:16):
Yeah, he's out. He's gonna be out majority of the season.
But you got Jared Judy ever played. Jared Judy was
hotter than Fish Grease last year towards the end, at
the end in that crazy snow game they played in film.

Speaker 3 (01:53:28):
They got Deontay Johnson, which is a great route runner,
slot guy. You know, if they got someone who's decent
at throwing the ball that can hit targets.

Speaker 2 (01:53:37):
Like again, as I said, they have Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett,
Dylan Gabriel or Sanders. You know, I think the answer
to that is no, they got the fifth Like yeahs
I mean right now, looking, they.

Speaker 1 (01:53:52):
Got to release Deshaun Watson right, too.

Speaker 2 (01:53:55):
Much money guaranteed. I think they're they're holding out hoping
he has to take some kind of early injury, early
retirement or something. And he's just saying, I'm going to
get fat and happy rehabbing because I'm not leaving it.
Now that that deal just continues to get working.

Speaker 1 (01:54:10):
What a great deal.

Speaker 2 (01:54:12):
It also quickly before we close out with Lightning around
the one eighty that Miles Garrett did the demand of
trade and then end up signing a four year one
hundred what was it, one hundred and twenty three million.

Speaker 1 (01:54:25):
Yeah, the biggest contract guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (01:54:27):
That's one hundred and twenty three million guaranteed.

Speaker 1 (01:54:30):
For Michael Parson gets one hundred and twenty five million.

Speaker 2 (01:54:32):
Yeah, that's coming. That should be next. But I look,
I know Miles Garrett obviously loves that community and wanted
to stay abrown. But like it's so hard for me
to when I see an athlete say like, I don't
put up with this level of play this organization is.
It's serious in this ineptitude. I want out and I'm

(01:54:53):
demanding it. Oh wait, no, you're gonna pay me one
hundred and twenty three million guaranteed.

Speaker 1 (01:54:58):
Well hold, let me look at this another way.

Speaker 2 (01:55:00):
Yeah, let me take my house off the market. Yeah,
that's like, that's the kind of shit we were talking
about the other week about lebron of like, no, no,
winning is all that matters to me? Well, it's not
because you opted into that fifty two million dollar one
year still available instead of taking a vetment. And I'm not.
I'm not getting in between another man and his money.

Speaker 1 (01:55:20):
But yeah you have to.

Speaker 2 (01:55:23):
Even they they probably would never admit it, but the
optics aren't.

Speaker 1 (01:55:26):
Would you change your mind for some money? You know,
some fatal attractions?

Speaker 2 (01:55:30):
So I would appear on whatever the cat turds hanging
out in the litter podcast is if he paid me
if or or these.

Speaker 1 (01:55:39):
Kids are thinking they're cats and shinn and I was like, yeah,
that's me right here. How much money I get?

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
The dude a ten Poole that was getting paid by
the Kremlin to do his podaca.

Speaker 1 (01:55:49):
Oh yeah, Kremlin, if.

Speaker 2 (01:55:50):
You want to pay, let's let's talk Skater. I'm sure
iHeart would be just fine with that. Yeah. Final final
division predictions Ravens, Fur, Bengals, Steelers tied is what I'm selling.

Speaker 1 (01:56:04):
Let's say Bengal. I mean, like I said, low, like
low floor, high ceilings in the Bengals.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
And then Brown's a distant, distant last place. So we're
halfway through the AFC. Now, next week we'll do AFC
South and West and then turn to our beloved NFC.

Speaker 1 (01:56:23):
We should we should do the West on Monday, because
the South That's why I was gonna save it for
the last. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:56:29):
Yeah, all right, LG hit me, let's do some lightning
round before we get out of here. We ran late there,
so I'm gonna truncate what I've got because I want
to make sure we get to these I got two
awesome fight videos to close it out. Yeah, even they're
so awesome. I made LG get me a second monitor
tonight so I could watch them live. No, we'll start,

(01:56:49):
uh scratch the we'll talk Dion wanting a salary cap
it's all of college football media days. So we got
Big twelve media days happening. Now we're going to have
you know, SEC and Big ten media days coming up.
So we'll do a whole full segment about media days
at some point. But a little Wimbledon update. Are one

(01:57:11):
of the Americans in the quarterfinals got beat today, Ben
Shelton loses to Center, but fear not Taylor Fritz advance.
So we had one American in the he was tired. Yeah, tenth,
and Fritz is fifth in the world, I believe, but
he has to play al KaAZ now in the semis.
So we get Fritz versus al Karaz and then what

(01:57:34):
probably will be it might be the match of the
entire tournament. Center versus Djokovic on the other side of
the bracket. Djokovic ageless. Uh what we were like, uh
the morning, Yeah, it'll be or it'll be a little
later since we're into the semis. I think it'll start
probably a little bit before lunchtime.

Speaker 1 (01:57:52):
All right, hit me, LG. Did I did I talk about.

Speaker 3 (01:58:00):
In Esa airport they had to check a luggage because
it's stored probably I want to say, five hundred hib tortillas.

Speaker 2 (01:58:12):
Oh, carry I kept seeing the picture around like legal.

Speaker 3 (01:58:19):
Well, I mean, I guess if you're crossing the country lines,
but like if you I've been to Denver and they
don't make fresh tortillas anywhere in Denver.

Speaker 2 (01:58:28):
I can't help and find Denver.

Speaker 1 (01:58:30):
So someone's coming up with this man.

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
They took that to Denver suitcase full of tortillias, and
I'm talking it is packed to the brim. The carry
ons is nothing but h G B towards fresh tortillas.

Speaker 2 (01:58:43):
I'm just imagining the like like a Good Fella's esque story,
but instead of drugs, it's tortillas. This whole black markets,
I got this fresh. When when's that shipment coming in
here this morning?

Speaker 1 (01:58:58):
I need it?

Speaker 2 (01:58:59):
I need my fix hitlg Oh indeed, indeed, come on now, Spurs,
always come on now, Spurs. We'll do one more before out,
and uh, I know you have a couple more to
get to the I'm not a big MMA fan, but
this is a name that I have. Actually, if I've

(01:59:20):
heard of it, I feel pretty comfortable, pretty confident that
it's someone of large stature. Randy Kotour.

Speaker 1 (01:59:28):
Yeah he's legend, legend, right, legend.

Speaker 2 (01:59:31):
Yeah, did you see the headline. No, so he is
attempting a new career in n h R A racing
National hot Rod Association racing.

Speaker 1 (01:59:42):
It's track straps.

Speaker 2 (01:59:44):
It's some it's like your your funny cars or your
you know, pro stock motorcycles.

Speaker 1 (01:59:51):
He had the races over in three seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:59:52):
That's correct, if you're good. He had to be airlifted
to a burn center earlier today because as NHR practice,
apparently there was a bit of a malfunction and it's
one of those deals where the car catches fire and
you're so strapped into that thing for safety and protection.
You got fire, but like that only goes on for

(02:00:13):
so long, and you're wearing fire retardant. We can say
that now because Trump's president retardant clothing, and I think
it just got his arms and legs. It doesn't feel
like it's like life threatening, but he it's first and
it's it was up to some first degree.

Speaker 1 (02:00:32):
Burns, though third degree is the worst.

Speaker 2 (02:00:34):
Well, it was some of those two, Okay, Well, then
I got it backwards. It was up to third degree.
Majority first degree, but some third degree. There you go,
what do you know about burns?

Speaker 1 (02:00:43):
Oh? The wife was a trauma ic.

Speaker 2 (02:00:45):
Oh, that's right. That checks out.

Speaker 1 (02:00:46):
That checks out. Uh, well, okay, hit me OLG it's garbage.

Speaker 3 (02:00:55):
I would have to like, if you ever have to
call the I r be prepared to wait thirty to
sixty minutes. Thirty to sixty minutes, and I'm gonna say,
you're gonna be on.

Speaker 1 (02:01:09):
The sixty side, with which I did an.

Speaker 3 (02:01:11):
Hour and a half on the phone. Just ask one question,
what's the what's the interest on this? And then I
get the lady, Well, it's it's different for me, for
me each one, and I'm like, yeah, I figured, so
what's the interest for medical thing? Well, I can't. You
can't find that out. And I'm like, there's got to

(02:01:31):
be a list or something. Who do I need to
talk to? Transfer me. I'm I've already waited in an hour.
I'll do I'll do some more. And she was the
rudest person. Of course, she works for the it's the government.

Speaker 2 (02:01:43):
Well it's also the only part of the government where
we expect you to pay us, but we're not gonna
tell you how much, and if you don't pay the
right amount, we're gonna arrest you.

Speaker 1 (02:01:53):
And then so it's kind of get this.

Speaker 3 (02:01:56):
I'm gonna try to I'm trying to make it shortest
short and swee because we're runing late.

Speaker 1 (02:02:00):
I call my CPA friend. Oh.

Speaker 3 (02:02:02):
He tells me it's seven percent quarterly and within two minutes.
So I wasted an hour and a half my life.

Speaker 1 (02:02:09):
And then he tells me about how under Biden all
the IRS people were sitting there on top of their game,
like I'm sure millionaire, millionaire clients are sitting there like
we're gonna take a lean on property.

Speaker 2 (02:02:21):
I'm sure the IRS has never worked more efficient, though
you were under Joe Biden.

Speaker 3 (02:02:26):
Yeah, and his autopen. That's exactly what he said. I
was like, what is this autopen? Other people are signing
for him. But then he gets to say, but under Trump,
I just gave him fifteen thousand, told him to kick
rocks and they said thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:02:42):
And I'm like, well, that just seems like you screwed
over the government one hundred and thirty five thousand dollars.
Run Is that efficient? I mean cool, that's because they've
been screwing me over for years.

Speaker 2 (02:02:55):
I'm just getting I'm just getting them back.

Speaker 3 (02:02:57):
But yeah, be prepared to wait for an hour to
talk to anybody, and they will not answer your I
did quickly.

Speaker 2 (02:03:03):
I did see. Part of the big beautiful bill is
they've removed the direct filing through the IRS website. So
you have because people like TurboTax and H and R Block,
they all paid shit ton millions of dollars to lobby
against something. Look as whatever you want to think about

(02:03:24):
government in general, sure, hold it, preach it, evangelize it.
The fact that the IRS had actually done something that
was popular and productive was amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:03:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:03:38):
And then because the private companies that were losing money
because of that lobbied and said no, no, no, get
rid of that. So the IRS is it feels like
it's going to be.

Speaker 3 (02:03:49):
And now they said, in two week, two weeks, I'm
gonna have to I'll have the recap on this one.
But they're going to start selling off the IRS debt
to collection agent.

Speaker 2 (02:04:00):
Oh fun, so, so track you down. They'll tell your
car at work if you're ninety seven cents behind on
your bill. It's it's fun times hit me LG. Let's
close out with a couple of actual fun times.

Speaker 1 (02:04:15):
Smiles and Glory Hill.

Speaker 2 (02:04:17):
That's correct, Jerry a couple speaking of Jerry, so we'll start.
Let's start. We'll save that clip for last, because we
had a knockdown, drag out fight up at the Star
in Frisco, and it's it's a fight you might be
more interested in than some others. But one guy that
had no idea what he was getting himself into. There

(02:04:40):
was a drunk golfer, a couple of dudes. Had you
see it all the time, We see it everywhere, folks.

Speaker 3 (02:04:48):
God help, your ball actually lands next to someone else
by accidents.

Speaker 2 (02:04:52):
So these two dudes are stumbling up to the tea box.
The group behind them is already cruised up on him. Uh,
they've already caught up to him. And the guys are
too drunk to even put their tea down and put
a ball. I mean they're falling over so exactly. So
we this is the last minute of this interaction. The

(02:05:14):
full video is like three minutes long. Little did they
know the group behind them included a former NHL enforcer,
a former NHL bad boy that wasn't playing.

Speaker 1 (02:05:28):
He's only forty years old. I played just a fight man.

Speaker 2 (02:05:32):
Yeah, Nick Taranovsky was not having any of this guy's ship.
And I should warn you if you can already guess
there's a bit of a warning language. Yeah play at LG.

Speaker 1 (02:05:44):
You guys need to get off the golf course.

Speaker 2 (02:05:46):
Yeah no, Now, first of all, posit real quick, LG.
We've we all know this guy, the guy that when
it's back, whoa like he's hyping himself up, like all right,
I'm a gonna do like it looks like a psycho.

Speaker 1 (02:06:04):
Give it to me.

Speaker 2 (02:06:06):
You're not scaring anybody. You're not scaring anybody.

Speaker 1 (02:06:10):
So oh, as he's falling down.

Speaker 2 (02:06:11):
There, and then look.

Speaker 1 (02:06:17):
Started you want to know.

Speaker 2 (02:06:21):
So you would expect after just getting thrown into a pond.
And then there's the hockey pro grabs his shirt like
it's a jersey and just starts wailing, looking comform.

Speaker 1 (02:06:37):
God.

Speaker 2 (02:06:40):
And the whole time he's like the dad, I didn't
want to do this. Just k.

Speaker 1 (02:06:49):
Where's your homework? You're killing your father, Larry.

Speaker 2 (02:06:57):
This is not a stranger in the Alps.

Speaker 1 (02:07:01):
Oh man.

Speaker 2 (02:07:02):
Yeah, that's one of the best f around and find
out videos I've seen in a while, because if it's
just a normal guy that whips that dude's ass, it's
not nearly as funny to me as it's the fact
that it's a former NHL player.

Speaker 1 (02:07:16):
He looks like he's actually like too many times exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:07:23):
Uh. And then we'll close with this one because you
know it has to be a good video if you're
not closing with what you just saw. Few things I
hate more in life is seeing girls fight. I hate it.
I don't like this, but I understand. I am in
the minority. I understand.

Speaker 1 (02:07:44):
I am feminist, I am I hate. I understand.

Speaker 2 (02:07:47):
I'm the talk and I should let the girls fight
if they want to fight.

Speaker 1 (02:07:51):
And really, if you like my little elementary stuff, if
you talk, you can get hit.

Speaker 2 (02:07:56):
Yeah. There's that's the that's the that's the Barrio elementary,
your school teacher, the uh. Jerry Jones might have had
a front row seat for this because this happened at
the Star up in Frisco.

Speaker 1 (02:08:09):
Oh, buddy, I see this one.

Speaker 2 (02:08:16):
We got two groups going at it. We got Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:08:20):
I love it because it's way a little bit like we.

Speaker 2 (02:08:23):
Got who's helping who, who's breaking who? She just took
one to the note.

Speaker 3 (02:08:28):
The blue dress comes in with the hotness, helps her
friend throw their friend away.

Speaker 2 (02:08:34):
Someone with long hair, Just imagining getting slung like that
with by my hair. And of course you hear the
guys that are recording this just.

Speaker 1 (02:08:49):
Being like, oh damn right, I mean, who's with who?

Speaker 2 (02:08:54):
I can't tell?

Speaker 1 (02:08:55):
That's not who I thought Blue Shirt was with.

Speaker 2 (02:08:58):
Th halfway through I thought I had the teams understood,
and no, it feels like once the rage took over,
they're just swinging.

Speaker 1 (02:09:07):
At whoever is close bouncing, dude. With the girl fights
were the worst, just because it was just hair and
I had to grab their wrists and I'm like, I'm
gonna start squeezing tighter and they're like, she's grabbing my
hair and I'm like, I'm I got both your hands.
I was like, I'm gonna squeeze tighter and I do whatever.
They're like, oh, and I'm like, leg go lego.

Speaker 2 (02:09:29):
Whenever I was working at ASTUC, anytime we would have,
you know, a metal show or something where we expector
or a country long hair outlaw country out in all,
every single time, there would be guys that would get
into fights, and there would be girls that would get
into fights, because that's what humans do, they fight. The

(02:09:50):
girl fights were ten times as worse as the guy fights.
Oh dude, the guy fights are still like there's some
level like I'm not. I'm not going into this fight
to demolish you. I'm just going in to show dominance
the girls. It is, yeah, full demolished.

Speaker 1 (02:10:06):
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (02:10:06):
Yeah, dude, that's just like the jail cells in the magistrate.
The guys, there's there's always a girl fight. But the guys,
you know, there's a little bit of respect there until
someone pops off.

Speaker 1 (02:10:16):
But girls always a fight, always a fight.

Speaker 2 (02:10:20):
I didn't I didn't ever have to experience too much
between Hayes and Travis County in that regard. But on
that note, let's get out of here. We keep going
late with these things. That's a good problem because this
week we're gonna actually be putting out five hours of
content becuz two hours Monday, two plus hours tonight, and
