Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah at the Big Dog hont and Logan.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Everybody, Welcome to another episode of the Philly Pols Your
City Sports Speed. I'm your host, Joe stays at my
co host Michael Warren showing Lockner boys.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
How we doing hanging in man, hanging in.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Before God week?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
What's that?

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I was here, I was coming.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. I ate an eleven
week old hogy and I didn't agree.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Where it is? There it is, Come on, there it is.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I'm gonna throw something that we didn't talk about pre
see how you guys are on your feet the game
last night? What did you think of the ending the
National Championship. I'm sure you've seen highlights of you didn't
stay up to watch it, But I've never seen a
game end on a possible travel where the guy lets
the ball bounce, bounce, bounce as the clock runs out.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
And that was it.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
That.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
I thought. It was a piss pour ending like a right.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Game back and forth. I mean, it seemed it felt
like it was tied the whole entire time.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Florida led for a minute and four seconds in the game.
That hurts.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
They're up twelve points, up twelve kind of did the
same thing, except Duke was like nine eight minutes left
when they were down fourteen and Houston a huge lead,
let it slip away.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Did you guys feel the same way the game as
a whole When it first started, I mean, nobody could
hit any I mean bad bricks.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Bad rib like they got to calm down, but they.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Were jumping out of the building. You could see the athleticism,
and I thought, all right, these kids are way hyped up.
Well they should be, and they should be. You know,
this is the biggest moment of your sports life right now. Sure,
but then I have I flipped off maybe for ten
to fifteen minutes or something. It was like at the

(01:52):
whole game. They were just jumping. Just the amount of athleticism.
They were going nuts, and you're right, it was such
a thud at the end too. I felt bad for
the kid.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, Manuel sharp two turnovers in the last minute. One
was off his knee and then one tries to take
a shot.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'll give Clayton credit.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
He came out and got a hand in his face
and he wasn't going to get the shot off, so
you kind of had to Yeah, that's tough. He put
it he put it down, but it was just agonizing
watching the clock, you know, run out and that kind
of I wanted to see them. And Calvin Sampson said
afterwards he just couldn't get past the fact that they
go and get a shot off in the last two
possessions and for the last five four turnovers.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Ouch ouch.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
But overall, it was a great It was a great
game for especially for people that don't care, right. So
that's that's why I like, uh not to bring it
back to the Eagles. But so many people were like,
that was one of the worst Super Bowls I've ever seen,
And I was like, first of all, you must be
relatively young, because the eighties were.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Five to ten.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, like San Francisco would always be whipping somebody's answer Denver,
would you know, score the first ten points and lose
by forty.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yeah, gave up five touchdowns in the second quarter.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah to the Skins.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
So to an Eagles fan, it was the greatest thing
we've seen probably in our lifetime. Absolutely, But I understand
if you don't care about either team.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's brutal.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Years ago people are saying it's one of the best
Super Bowls ever, back and forth and you know, slug
fashion and then come back down to some stuff and
a lot of points that had to be thirty four nothing.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Really, I cannot wait for the year in video to
come out or the super Bowl video.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I've seen a couple they haven't had. What do you
mean the one the Eagles.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, yeah, like when they released the actual Super Bowl
Champions video.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
I know, the year or the yearbook video where they
tell a story exact. They make them for every single team.
Oh yeah, and sometimes like you got to do a
yearbook on the Panthers and they try and make like
a four win season, but at the end they're always like,
but they have hope for the next.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
See him walking off the field that left they won
an overtime to end their season, and they're like walk like.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Super Bowl three rarely. You guys are really stretching it here,
really stretching it speaking of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
So was it Adam Schefter his prediction or maybe it
was news how he's going to make at least two
trades draft night.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
That's that's he went out on a limb there. That's
that's pretty uh profric he was.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
He was a little more specific than that. He said
I don't know when they're going to be or what
it's going to be. I mean, all right, so king
on that.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Where did you hear this?

Speaker 4 (04:55):
I saw he tweeted it or something that I I
know the Eagle are going to make two trades in
the draft, and I don't know when or where.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
He's gonna be a fanatic tomorrow morning. He's on every
Wednesday morning, so it'll.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Be interesting, supernatic. Okay, so something did come out rumor
and we'll we'll throw the room around a little bit.
Although no no source has been sighted. It might be
from a site that falsely tweets once in a while
to get engagement. Doesn't matter, but it's out there. People
are talking about it. Howie surreptitiously might be looking to

(05:29):
negotiate a trade for Tyreek Hill because the Eagles don't have,
you know, high end wide receivers on the team.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Imagine Tyreek AJ.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Brown's being like, I only had four catches in the
Super Bowl and obviously it was a letdown.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
And then you bring Tyree, how many balls are there
they're playing with? How are you gonna get enough balls?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
You know what though, I'll throw this out there, Yeah,
what if that says something about because we've heard rumors
about them for about two years getting rid of Brown.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, someone's getting move and.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
It's not gonna be Davante.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
It won't be Davante.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
It's a shame.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Aj is basically unstoppable. He was their offense for a while.
It's like, what are we gonna do?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Because it didn't seem like there was rhyme or reason
until they went with like sakuon a lot of Shaquan
cutting down hurts his numbers.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
It was like, well, we need to play at stort age.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
And he'll do the runs and he's that guy.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, he's that guy, and he's that good.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's a shame he's now in an offense that it's
kind of watered down in terms of the passing game.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean, it works for the Eagles, so you know
he't good for them.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
But right, so he's never gonna have Jefferson or Chase
numbers exactly.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's not gonna have those big games like remember he
had like six in a row, Like we'll have five
yards a game as last year.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Maybe not. That's not gonna happen anymore.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
And I always wonder, like, you know, when are they
going to be disgruntled or not, and it comes out
once in a while. We've seen Aj in the Giants
game two years ago in the playoffs after the Carolina
game where he talked about the passing thing that became
a story until they threw the ball up a little
bit against the Steelers the next week.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
But but never a full on t o blow.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Up right right exactly it was it was.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
It was more of a simmering.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yes, yes, that's exactly good. That's a good point.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
So yeah, I would think that someone gets moved at
that point if they get Tyreek.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
But how much you give up? How much would you
give up for Tyreek? What is Tyreek?

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Like the market value for some of these guys, because
I see like some high end players get trade them like,
oh they got a fifth round picker? What fifth round pick?

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Yeah, because somebody is sick of their crap? You know what,
You guys will appreciate this. I once heard the no
matter how hot and great she is, somewhere, some guys
sick of her crap.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Stick of her ship, you know.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
And it's funny that you say that, Mike it because
if you think about it right away, it all came
out that he wanted out of Miami, and then all.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Of a sudden he walked off the field right and
then it came back.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
We kissed him, made up. We're good. You can't tell
me that's damage control because you know what you're gonna
get trading frohim for him? So what the hell's going on?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, I mean he said it himself, so I think
it's a little different when the team says it to Tryvick.
Oh no, no, no, he's cool. I think Tyreek said it.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Maybe they both came out and said it's.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Because he's down with his quarterback.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I think remember he talked about even when he went there,
he said, oh yeah, he's more accurate than Patrick mahone.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Something.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Turned out he had a pretty good year that year,
and he had like one hundred and nine catches, and
it turned out they were a pretty good hookup. But
you know, listen, they don't have a defense down there.
Warm Weather team's a little soft, especially when they get
to the postseason and have to play up north in
the Cold Tours. You know, always one hit away from
being one hit away from.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
You know, offensive line is not that good.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
I like it.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
I like the running back, but they're not a great team.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Not a great team.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
They can beat up on some weaker teams and get
a few wins here there, maybe sneaking into the playoffs too.
It was hurt with the concussions and whatnot. But they're
not They're not a They're not a great team yet.
They need they need to add a few players. I
think they need to get tougher. I saw them in
the playoff gets the Chiefs two years ago. They looked
like now, granted it was thirty below, and they would

(09:24):
just look like they wanted to pack it up and
get out of there.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
I mean, that is the head coach has got to
be wearing then too. Don't you think him? Oh?

Speaker 1 (09:30):
I like him, I actually like him.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
I love him, we do.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
But I mean he's thought.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Okay that he had he had to work with the
were his quarterbacks when uh.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
When Tua went down, well, Scott what's his name still there?
Remember the third string guy played in the playoff game
a couple of years agoing Buffalo almost beat him. I
forget his last name, but any.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Well, the problem is if tu Ofa goes down, Mike
McDaniel can't do what he does because you can't just
bring anybody in right and do all the all the
creative stuff that McDaniel.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
There's a lot of creative stuff. Yeah, good story, Mike McDaniel.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
You know, he got fired for he had a drinking
problem a few years ago and kind of got fired
and uh, someone gave him another chance and he's he's
done well. It doesn't look like the head coach, but
some miked up stuff and people talking about him, they're
they're big fans of his.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yeah, he's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
I think he's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
I think he's funny too, I do, But I mean, gosh,
how long has he been there now? Three four years?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Right?

Speaker 4 (10:35):
I didn't hire Bill Birdie and my head coach. It's
great that you're funny, that's great, but like you know,
I don't. I don't hire an accountant to crack me
out the party.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
So so if if Tyree comes here in the trade,
we are in an agreement that one of the master go.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
There's no way you're going to keep all three of them.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Well, what's your cap situation? If you're able to take
on I don't know how that works with raids. If
you take on cash, do I still take all that
cap on? Even though you're paying cash, can you take
keep cap? I really don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
I just don't see any of that happening. I really don't.
I really don't.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
No, but I didn't see a J. Brown happening.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Neither did I. But yeah, I mean, who knows. He
could again, he could be blowing smoke up all of
our asses. You know, came and said, look, it's gonna
be a little bit different. It's not going to come
out the way that it typically wood or does we
have to look down the line to pay the big
people we got Jalen Carter blah blah blah blah. I

(11:38):
don't see that. Yeah, I I just don't see. Like
if that was the case, then why didn't you go
away after? Yeah? Uh, what's it called from drawing a
blank from Cleveland?

Speaker 4 (11:53):
I don't want anyone from Cleveland anymore? R.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yes, thank you, thank you. So I just don't see
it happening. I really don't. I think they're they're gonna
be there, They're gonna be one of the top teams.
But I think they're gonna do it there their way,
their new thought process, and I don't think that.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Hasn't don't you think how he likes to, and not
just because he likes the headlines, but he does make
some splashes. He takes big swings and bringing an aj
on draft day kind of under the radar, and that
turned out to be I mean, he was only a
year out of where he played Ole Miss. He was
only a year or two out of the cost the
Titans GM's job after the Titans Philly, like he had

(12:38):
like a four hundred yard game, but he likes to
like Tae Kwon last year. Didn't see that coming. Boom
turned out to be an epic decision.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
But his genius is well, he has a lot of genius,
but he mixes the big splash with the one year
Zach Bond, right, Chris Long, Patrick Robinson, and it's not
those are real. No one's betting on.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
That, right. Let's not forget about Brice Hof.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
There's mistakes.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Wide receiver that they.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Took instead of the other wide receiver that's in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Years.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
They kind of they dispatched that and they built up
a pretty good wide receiving quote which is says.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
And his drafts have been phenomenal, and honestly, I feel
like that's the kind I think maybe to stroke his ego.
That's what his approach is going to be in hope
that hey, I'm going to go this route.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
And you have to to maintain them absolutely like he
has for so long. You have to hit on these
draft picks because these other guys you were going to
lose Milton Williams. Now, I think it's an acceptable loss.
I would have preferred to keep. You're that good, but
you're gonna have these guys are going to get paid
somewhere else, so you have to keep drafting to keep

(14:02):
replacing them.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
What did you think about it? And I wrote an
article about it last week about the hardline stance and
policy on anything having to do with domestic violence, specifically
violence against women, whether it was proven or not. If
there's someone if you got arrested for it doesn't matter

(14:26):
what happened after. They don't even look at them. They
don't even how. We can't even go to Jeffrey and
say it was ten years ago.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
It was like, you know, blah blah blah, and he's
really kind of reformed, and they won't even he can't
even scout those guys. What do you think about that?

Speaker 4 (14:42):
I would say that Michael Vick wouldn't happen again.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
I threw Michael Vick into the thing because not too
long ago, Howie and or Andy and Donovan just went
to the owner and say, hey, what do you think
can we bring Michael Vick back? Apparently not only it
might be a personal policy against it, but you know
you're gonna get a lot of lashback, and.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Oh that's yeah, absolutely, and they did.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
They totally got mean.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
I showed up to that press there were twenty five
shadowy It looked like the OJ trial.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I Jeffrey handle himself well during that hole.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
He did, No, he did.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Look he looks good because Michael Vick, you know, I
didn't say brew after that and played well a couple
couple of years and he's been a model citizen and
that hasn't done anything wrong. I think it was sincere
in his reform. But I don't think he would do
that with a situation nowadays.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
No, I don't either. But do you remember the look
on Jeffrey's face at that press conference when they brought
vic in. You could just tell I really didn't want
to do that. He didn't know, but I was convinced
by Yeah, I don't. I wouldn't see them making that
kind of risk. But right now they don't have to.

(15:54):
You know, ask me when they go five and twelve.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Right, I thought about that too, like they can.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
There's plenty of people out there with who does not
don't have any history that you can build a team with. Yeah,
so then they probably don't need to. But you're right,
five and twelve team, that's all right.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Let's yeah, maybe we'll roll the dice. One, roll the
dice on Deshaun Watson. How many women was it? Well,
it was only if it was twenty five, I'd say.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
No, Hey, Justin Tucker is about to find out. Of course,
I don't know. Maybe that's why he had such a
rough year.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
But I mean, the women are the numbers are piling
up against Justin Tucker.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Well, once some once someone sees a class action in
fairness trying to be fair to Justin, which I don't
want to be, but once.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Someone once, there's blood in the water.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah. I'm not saying it's guilty either. I'm just saying
that's I do believe that that happens.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
What you're insinuating there a by jumping on the class
action shoot women are coming out, and it's a shame
because then it becomes like mob mentality.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
But well, in those situations, I always think this is
a bad situation one way or another. I don't and
I don't know who's telling the truth. I could make
a case for either one. I wasn't there. I don't know,
but you know, I haven't had those kind of allegations

(17:17):
against me yet.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
The man you said, that's so like casual. They're coming
most people calling on one one when they find a
dead bubbley.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
You didn't do that, are you all right?

Speaker 1 (17:38):
So? Okay? Interesting stuff? Now? There was also one of us,
was was it you Mike were talking about? It possible
someone they're looking Teams are looking into Tanner McCain.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah, I saw a report.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Really doesn't third string quarterback last year before Kenny Pictt
got moved.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
But he put he he got some game action. I
think he got into two games, the Dallas and the
Giants game, and he looked really, really sharp, really comfortable.
So if I'm a team looking for a quarterback, I'm
not getting I don't even cam Wards there there's never
a sure thing, but cam Ward, there's people that have
Shader sliding out of the first round. I don't see

(18:21):
that happening. It's not a good draft class. So would
you rather spend let's say you can get McKee for
a third round pick, would you rather do that for
a guy that at least has some NFL tape or
roll the dice on some questionable guy like a mill Row?

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Are you looking for your your franchise quarterback?

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Somebody is like, if you're the Giants, you'll do whatever.
I'll get Jamis and Russell Wilson and a rookie and somebody.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
And Pauli Walnles. Yeah. Well, I mean if you don't
have a franchise guy, you don't have a team, you
don't have a direction, you don't have it is tough
to find that guy. Tanner McKay, would you roll the
day versus a Jay That's a good question.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
He's still cheap. He'd be in his fourth I think
his fourth year, right my counting that right, it's three
or four. He's still not break the bank area.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Right, And and a team comes to the Eagles and
offers what for him?

Speaker 4 (19:28):
I don't know if we're speculating that a third round,
that's that's just a guess. What would you show him?
What would you take for him?

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Take a third for him right now, he's your backup.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
They offered him a third, I think that would be
an Eagles would jump at that.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Who's the back I don't know if that's the case.
Somebody might give him a two.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Maybe they'd take a four. I have no clue. I mean,
he's not first round pick trade stuff right now.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Not at all.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
No, No, I mean I was thinking, yeah, I mean
at third, I'd be like, yeah, he's he'll be outside
waiting for you.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Speaking of let's talk about the other teams in the NFC.
So you have DAK and you have Jayden Daniels. They're
set for a while. I don't see Dak. You just
signed out con.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
But the Cowboys just traded for that. Joe Milton.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, where's Cooper Rush or Trey Lance?

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Trey Lance just got picked up.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
He keeps getting buried and buried? Where's Trey Lance? Now?

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Oh, man, I don't think it matters.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Sandy and not Sandy. I go Los Angeles Chargers. That's
where it was.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
I still say San Diego, I still say I still
call him the Redskins.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, I don't give a crap.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
I hate the name Commanders. I hate the Washington football team.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
No boy, your boy. Joe Saltounis was talking about, uh
how because I got I got clicked by the bait
because it said Trey Lance signs with Super Bowl contender
and he was like, oh, who did he sign with?
Then when he clicked on it, it said the Los
Angeles Chargers, and he was like.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
That what win a playoff game?

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Right, Chargers?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Both you guys, Because I mean, I'm I don't deny,
I've been again not against I think he's a fine quarterback.
He's fun to watch in the regular season, but he
doesn't win a lot in the postseason. Lamar Jacks, and.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
I don't really care about individual awards when they stop
at the end of the regular season because I want
to see how.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Valuable guy is to his team.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
I know that's the rule whatever, But Justin Herbert, I mean,
he's only played two playoff games, but they've lost a
twenty seven point leading one and he threw three picks
and his last one is Justin Herbert. Is that enough
sample side to say, Hey, this this guy right now
doesn't look ready for the postseason.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
I don't know if I can say that he hasn't
been We know that, right, But I've been a Herbert
Finn do yeah, because remember not Tarvaris Jackson, but Tyrod
Taylor was the starter his rookie year and he had
the rib problem before the first week. And I happened

(22:17):
to be watching that game with my brother and we
saw two drives of Herbert and we looked at each
other and we're like, he ain't getting that job back,
and his.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Kid could play Herbert. Yeah, Herbert could play. I mean
he can, and he doesn't like to. You know, he's
tough too. He plays through injuries, but he's had some
a couple of rough postseason go at it.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Go not like the Chargers. I think the Chargers are
on the on the rise. I don't think they're a
super Bowl contender.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
You think they would be with I mean with hardball. Yeah. Look, look,
he took the Niners to a few yards within a
few yards, and he switched quarterbacks in mid season Embery
bench Alex Smith got hurt actually, and then he went
with Colin Kaepernick the rest of.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
The I mean, here's the thing. The Los Angeles teams
will always be good. If they're not, the NFL is
gonna step in. So I mean, well, the New York teams.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
That's a bigger market, and they're exactly getting it done lately.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
They are they are, of course, but they're the wrek
of the league, both of them.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Right, It's really hard to get NFL back in LA.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
It's in First of all, he played Jersey, both of them.
When did think about it's funny when people talk about
the Bears not having a franchise quarterback since Sid Sid
Luckman like in the fifties.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Although I'll give you McMahon McMahon, and I love.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
McMahon, you know, I like you know anyone because he
had that defense. But he played well man.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
He looked good in Eagle Green.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Oh, if he could have stayed that ninety one season, right.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
I mean I was at that game. He was running
out and just ran out of bounds and like popped
his knee or something, hamstering or something. He was always hurt.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
That was that the year when they have like twenty quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah, Brad Gable, Jeff Camp, Jeff Camp, we have very
good Pat Ryan was that year too.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
I think Ryan was on a construction squad. Next week
you're starting against the Skins.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Like.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Everybody and anybody and that was.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
That's a shame that year. That's that's exactly right.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
But think of it. I mean again, I've said it
how many times on these podcasts. We're very blessed. We
really are.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
We thought we were cursed for so long and maybe
we were, but not since Larry came in. We've had
our ups and downs, but everybody's going to have those.
But can I tell you quick Jim McMahon's story.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Yeah, he was.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Do you remember Charles Martin sure, the guy that slammed
him on showing. Do you remember that when he just
he had a hit list on his towel of quarterback
numbers that guys he was taking out, Like, I don't
think that would fly today, you think? So he was
the one that slammed me. I think that was the

(25:06):
beginning of the end for his shoulder was just never right. Yeah,
but like way after they've thrown the ball, it wasn't
even close. So I was. I saw Jim McMahon at
a Joe Namath golf outing or whatever, and by the way,
he had two beers in his hands at all times.

(25:27):
They said he was down in a beer a hole.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
I thought he was a warmon. He came from b
A BYU.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Yeah right right, But every time I saw him he
had he was double fisting, and it was always different brands,
so I know it wasn't the same too. But so
I was like, a Jim, you heard that Charles Martin
just died, right, He goes, Yeah. They all been calling
me and asking me about it, and I was like, well,
what did you think about that? He goes, are we
allowed to swear?

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah? Of course, she goes, well, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Going to his fucking funeral.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
So he had a little venturyo still left over that
whole thing.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
Huh Yeah, I mean Steve Grogan still said he hated
Jack Tatum when Tatum died, they asked him about it
because Jack Tatum is the one that killed Darryl Stingley.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Or paralyzed him, paralyzed him.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, and now Derek Stingley who plays for the Texans.
Now that's Darryl Stingley's grandson grandson.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, good flyer too.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Oh he's incredible player.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Hold McMahon, did he have the spiked hair in a
headband or anything? Instead?

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Like I remember ahead, I remember a head band.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
He probably had a ball cap and sunglasses on, because
I think he has visions.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's an high issue with the bright lights.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
That's why he always Yeah, yeah, that's uh, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah. I was a big fan, so I was hoping
he'd stay healthy with the Birds, and you know, I
think they were ten and six that year, so didn't
make the playoffs. Yeah, number one defense across the board,
but they just yeah, they didn't quite make it. So
so well, yeah, other than that, they have been a
backup other than Tanner McKee today, who's your third string guy?
I don't even know. I had moved up to two

(27:08):
and picket.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Pickets going, so you know you're getting thin there now.
You can probably go find something to be a backup.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Question the owner's meetings two weeks ago, what do you
think of maybe the toushbush going away, because it looks
like they're going to revisit it. And Roger came in
and said, yeah, maybe we'll go back to the rule
where you can't you can't push players with the ball
from five.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
You handle this first shown with the toush bush banning it. Okay,
I'll go. First thing.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
My problem is because I already went last week in
regards to it. It's going away, so it's just but
I would love to hear your take on it.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
My take is the reasons they're trying to give. If
you want to get rid of it, get rid of
it that no injury data. The injury thing is so
that don't have a quarterback sneak running the ball, get
rid of tackling. It's one of the safer plays in football.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
You're totally right, and so.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Don't give me the safety crap. Now kickoffs make an argument. Fine,
By the way, I hate that new kickoff rule. I
think it was so stupid.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
It's stupid.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Eagles third string quarterback is the infamous Thompson.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Oh, that's right.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
They got him from the brown anytime you can raid
the Browns rosters, Like when when when Chip Kelly first
came in and he went and got Billy what's his name,
the defensive coordinator. He ran them three four under, but
he was like the linebackers coach from the Browns and
they had gotten another Billy Davis, and they got another

(28:53):
coach from the Browns, And I was like, why are
we raiding the Browns coaching staff? What have you seen
from the Browns that you think when we need some
of that, Like Ben Ben Johnson or whatever from the
from the Lions. Yeah, I get it, like these guys
had Kellen Moore, he's gone, I get it.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
I don't know, no, I hear you speaking of the Browns. Look,
because the Giants obviously in the Eagles Division. So it
would have been easier if they just didn't beat the
Colts last year in Week seventeen and they'd be like
the second or first pick. But they did, so.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
There they were Giants.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Fans were pissed, right, they put up forty five points too,
like where did this come from? So stupid? So stupid.
But anyways, that's where they are. And you have two
quarterback draft.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
One of them seems to be the consensus top pick
in Tennessee. I don't think likes Will Levis, so they'll
probably take cam Ward. And you have the Browns, and
you know, if you don't I think, if you don't
love a guy here number two, if you don't like Shanders,
then maybe you go different direction.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
But what are they doing a quarterback? When are they
going after their quarterback? We're like, all right, wait till
next year. Are you gonna still be terrible? Probably?

Speaker 4 (30:10):
But two years ago they tried to and they made
the dumbest trade and signing I can remember. And it's
not just that you traded for Deshaun Watson. It's not
just that he stinks. You gave him like two forty
and you guarantee you guarantee it.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Why do you need to do that?

Speaker 4 (30:28):
This is why you're in last place every.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Year when he did place, Like what happened is talent
left with Was that part of the agreement with the
Massuse's that he's got to, you know, sign over his
talent and it's gone.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Well everyone said, well this guy hasn't played in like
four hundred days, and I was like, okay, I get it.
But after a while he has played.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
And I told you, I'm telling you. I had a
conversation with some of them, was on the PGA tour before.
We talked about the whole entire Tiger Woods thing. This
this is what drove him and when it was taken
away from him, he lost his mojo. He's never going
to be the same.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, but that Shaun Watson wasn't having sex or he
was just doing appropriate.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Okay, well that was what he was. His thing that
drove him. Just like what Tiger's thing was is what
drove him. Okay, when Tiger got caught, Tiger was never
going to be the same Tigers.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
For a guy who plays a non contact sport, I've
never seen such a history of injuries. He's you know,
torn up his knees and had people from golf clubs
at him.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
And Cross is not an easy sport man.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
You've seen guys have injuries.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
I'm telling you, you'd be surprised how many back injuries
happened with golfers. Yeah, no, I'm sure, but he I
believe it.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
And he was also getting He always looked young and
fit because he always pretty much was. But remember he
was he was getting older.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Sure, he was good. Now his son's pretty good. His
son is good, son's really good.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Better be what excuse would you have?

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Right, I just watched an interview with Eddie Van Halen's kid,
and he's a very incredible guitar player, and like you
better be right.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Imagine if he sucked blanking around? Clank blank, here's the
cow bell? Want to use a cow bell there? Yeah?
Eddie Jr? All right, good stuff, good stuff? Any other
Eagles news you want to kick around?

Speaker 3 (32:40):
NFL news yeah, you know, so somebody that was out
there that's still out there that I don't know, would
you would you have interest in the Sante Samuel Junior,
he's still out there, and the reason being Mike Garaffollo. Uh,
I forget, I forget what he was on, but he

(33:04):
pretty much said it was medical that he's he's had
neck and so I've.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
Heard that too. Yeah, and if next for a tricky thing,
remember Peyton was out a year, Like when we saw
the Eagles signed to A. J. Dillon and I was like,
it's a neck issue though it's not a Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
The next thing he's got what I had the same
thing needs a fusion.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
And seventy six tackles, six interceptions, thirty thirty seven break ins.
I mean he's yeah, well do you need bust? But
I don't think he's living up to the particular.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
I'm going to say, how much do they need him?

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Do you like?

Speaker 4 (33:45):
It depends on how much they like Kieley.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
I mean yeah, I mean it wouldn't hurt if he's
still out there. Hell, I'd bring him out for camp.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
If you're going to get him on a cheap deal. Yeah,
I got no problem with that. Here's even worse. Would
you give up any of your draft capital for Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
No, no way.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
I'm not saying first round pick stuff. You have a
bunch of fourths in the next two years.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Why not if he can help your team, he's just
if he what can he add if he's relatively healthy.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
So so to take that further, I still I had
major injury concerns with Saquan when they got him last year.
I think we got very lucky. I have those same
concerns this year, especially coming off of a big load.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
I don't think Eagles are too I think that's why
they got AJ Dillon.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Well, I don't think you solved the problem though. No agreed, agreed,
because I don't even know if aj Dillon is going
to make the team.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
I don't know. I mean, if if you know, if
you're going to trade for him, now.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Would you give up a fifth round pick for Christian
McCaffrey if they took on a bunch of his salary,
Yes they would. They would get rid of him. They're
unloading everything.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
And everybody, everybody, but they're.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Unloading everybody apparently for the future. So I mean, if
it makes sense.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
If well, he ain't the future for them at all.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
That's what I'm saying. I feel that the future is
that if they're extremely confident that they're saying really damn
good chance that they're going to compete for their repeat,
then yeah, but I don't think they feel that way.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
So I think san Fran knows it's over.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Wait, you're talking about san Fran. You're talking about the Eagles.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
No, I'm talking about the Eagles. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
No, you don't think they think they're going to repeat
right now?

Speaker 3 (35:47):
No, absolutely not.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
I think it's a step back season.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Might be.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
I think that they're hoping, they're hoping, they're they're hoping
for the younger guys to step up. I mean, they
came out and said it. So I just I don't
see him doing a move like that. Could I see him?
Could I see them doing If he's out there trade

(36:13):
deadline and the Eagles are pushing towards repeat and they're
like cards all in, Yeah, I could see them doing
it then, but it's not gonna be a fifth then
it'll probably be a fourth.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
So if that that kid from that running back from
Ohio State, if he's there in the second round you take.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Them, yes, And I mean he looked good in his
rookie year.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
But that kid from Ohio State in the second round.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Best available then, right, But.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
If they can that's the great thing about this roster.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
That's great.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
Really they don't have to do anything right.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
But now now I'm like, oh, hooked on McCaffrey.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yes, I would give up a fifth round pick and
Roger Shamber just go and drive him back.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
I mean, you don't know what you're gonna get out
of him now? Is that before after he goes to Germany,
Germany when you were after surgery. Yeah, well when he
goes to Germany for his blood spinning.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
In the black forest, absolutely the black forest, to get
his black local black farst. I heard this nice little
trivia question today on the on the radio, and I'm
gonna throw it out to you guys. The Florida Gators.
You know, obviously they won their third national championship for

(37:37):
basketball for their first two the repeat, can you name
the three players they were on that team that played
for the seventy six ers.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
We never had Noah, did we.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
No, we never had joke him. No, we had the
other guy.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
It was like Corey We had three of them.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
At a time when no one was watching those, doesn't
one of them?

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Yeah? Sorta.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
But the Corey Corey it's like Fuller Court, not Corey Fuller, It's.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
It was Corey something. I think, Corey.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Brewer, Corey Brewer, ding ding Ding Brewer's right.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
I don't know my college basketball, so I'm excited that
I got that one that was pretty good.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
That was good. Wasn't Joe Kim No, uh oh it was?
Was he still there? Mike?

Speaker 3 (38:32):
One of them? The Sixers drafted.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
At sixteen? I know who you're talking about. Wasn't around
They drafted around sixteen fifteen sixteen.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Yeah, that's about right.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
I know who you're talking about. Uh huh mmm.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Meanwhile, just google over there.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
No, I'm not. I wasn't googling that.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
I was all right, I'm gonna give them to you.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
Yeah, give them to us for the sake of radio.
Maurice Wait, wait, Spates, Yes, Spates, that's the one that
Maurice Spates.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Wasn't wasn't How old is he with? Two thousand and
seven years? It seventeen years? I think Al Horford, Yes,
Alford was on that team.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
Can you.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
I heard that the other day.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
I forgot, but I don't remember him playing for Florida Gators.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
I don't either. Yeah, I would never have guessed that.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Yeah, that was funny today. So I really enjoy uh Missonellio,
Missonelli and Calarulo. They're really funny.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
Is that who's doing the morning show?

Speaker 3 (39:48):
There? They're doing midday? And threw it. He's he started
off or against the trivia is going to be four players.
He realizes this, he's like doing it that he was
wrong it was only three, but I thought it was
kind of I was like, yeah, that was a good question.
Fine Al Horford because I couldn't remember that he was

(40:11):
a Gator.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, I don't remember that.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
If I didn't hear that the other day, I would
have no idea where Al Horford played.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yeah, yeah, I was like I knew him. I knew Maurice.
I remember Corey because I was a huge fan when
the Sixers got him, because he just man, he was
the craziest looking thing.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Speaking of the Sixers there for the double repeat with
it for thee was Billy Donovan still yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
The Sixers will please someone make this stop. What did
you go the Flyers and Sixers make it stop.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Wires five games to go, sixers, twelve losses in a row,
and they still have a chance of losing the top six.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
I don't know if you guys heard this. And I
was tapping door and I was watching Coward. In the
middle of the show, Malone got fired.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Yeah, you got fired too, what's that? And they were
like for Jenny.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Wary, they had the fourth seed, they won.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
The title last year, two years ago, two years ago.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
He must have done something right.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
There has to be more to that story, right, don't
you think, Like.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Yeah, I mean you're working on getting Ramona on Joe.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Yeah, right, that was.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
It was, It was, it was. It was pretty pretty
shocking to see that. I mean, I guess they feel
pretty confident they have a chance, But who's taken over?

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Did you think Mike Malone was the problem?

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Well, they they they're not extending the GM either. They
got rid of both of them.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Seasons about and right before the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
I thought that was that's very impulsive, But again, I
think something six days left in the season really filled up.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
So I think the coaching the problem.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
How's Nick Nurse's season going?

Speaker 4 (42:08):
Glad he's the hot guy right now. It's not his fault.
It's kind of like some of those seasons Brett Brown
had where it's.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Like, is he back next year? I think he steps
down Nurse. Yeah, I think he steps away.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
Run from the burning house, I think so.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
I think I take care of the burning house. I
think there is.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Would be his reason for stepping down.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
The Core are a ship show man.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
They are. But I mean you can't say that. Who's
going to hire you if things go Oh.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
Yeah, totally. But at the same that's where I just
think he's I don't know, he probably hates him, but
he's not saying he's going to go to his agent
and says, look, what what does it look like if
I step away for one year, I go to ESPN,
n B see whatever the case may be not good,
it's not good? Well, or do I stay here?

Speaker 4 (43:09):
If I had that kind of money, I'd walk away
just because I could, just because I could.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Who cares?

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Where else I go?

Speaker 3 (43:16):
Do the NBA? Come on, man, he's won an NBA title.
Somebody's gonna go come calling. No, I mean someone's gonna
come calling. So he's going to be it. He could
step away, take a year off and come back and
he's gonna be one of the top, if not the
top coach that's available that will be snags by now.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
Speaking of the NBA, first of all, I think it's
a terrible product. I mean, it's just a three point
shooting contest. It's poor. So they even I even saw
Adam Silver getting interviewed and they were asking him like,
what do you what can you do about the product?
And he's clearly was well aware of what they were

(43:57):
talking about that this is not what problem, what's wrong
with the problem? No, No, it was like we're talking
to people all the time. We're constantly thinking, so let
me pose this to you, because this sounds really dumb,
but think about it. What if you because they talk
about keep moving the three point line back, they don't
care they're shooting from the logo. Yeah, you know, it

(44:19):
doesn't really matter. What if you got rid of the
three point line? I know it sounds dumb. I before
nineteen seventy nine, there wasn't one.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
I don't think here's the problem with that. People like
to see the like they'd like to see Steph.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
Curry bombing away and making his shots from three quarters court.
They like to see bombs. I would think, no one's
going to really be taking long shots. They'll play it,
they'll play a mid range game. I would think, right,
if they take that away.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
Of course you'd have to unless you make you know,
if before half court is a three pointer. I know
this sounds really dumb, but I kept thinking how.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
I was thinking going the other way and putting a
four point playing But yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
Yeah, you could do that too, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (45:10):
That's real deep. And then you have guys just you know,
with no cotch just chucking.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
What's that the celebrity All Star Game?

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Yeah? Exactly was that?

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Did someone asked that to Adam Silver about the All
Star Game, about the taking away the three point line?

Speaker 4 (45:26):
No, that was my stupid brain sitting around thinking that's.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
That's interesting because then you because I hear a lot
of people complaining that it's not not basketball, maybe as
they knew it, or you know, because it takes away
a lot of.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
The Nobody takes a ten or twelve foot or anymore.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
No one does.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
It's a dunk or a three pointer, and it's just
running gun.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Right, you almost never see a two pointer like a
mid range.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Yeah, like the NBA, it's going to change dramatically once
Lebron retires, so Lebron load management will really go. I
think you won't hear about load management anymore. Yeah, I think.
I think the NBA, you.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Don't think, gods, you're gonna take days after.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
Who do they have?

Speaker 4 (46:10):
They did it with Tim Duncan. They did load management
with Tim Duncan.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Sure, but I think it's it's now gotten to the
point where it's I mean, it's bad. It's bad.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
It's not a fun So there was a few months
ago it's not a fun subject.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
I mean, this year, I'd be very honest and Joe,
you know how I am when it comes to the Sixers.
I'm obsessed. I I I talk Sixers about. I'm just
like just dug in. I mean, I was dialed into
a conversation with one of Joe's friends where her and
I were just going back and forth about the Sixers

(46:50):
for hours. This year not so much. Yeah, okay they're injured. Yeah, yes,
does it suck? Does it take away from it? Yeah
a little bit when a star player is heard. But
there was nothing that ever dragged me in because it
was all you would hear is uh, you know, maintenance
or scheduled rest or whatever the case might be. And

(47:11):
it's just it's comical to the point.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Why would it go away if Lebron Because I don't
think it.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
There's still going to be guys who do it, don't they.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
And I heard an argument for this, people are like,
you know, only a few players are the ones that
take the load.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Management because I think you know the name.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
I don't know if that's true or not, but I
don't hear load management for like the nice guy off
the bench, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
So he's going to rest for the sixth night in
the road?

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Right?

Speaker 3 (47:38):
The players run that. The players run that league. The
owners do not run that Yes, the players do. When
Lebron retires, the opportunity for the players for the owners
to run the league again is it's going to happen.
It's going to be there because I don't think the
Players Association is going to have somebody like Lebron Games

(48:00):
or that caliber that's going to be able to go
and be like, look what I did for your for
your product. Look what I've been able to do. I've
been able to pick up where Michael Jordan left off.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
Who they're going to have a problem with the face
of the league for sure, Who's who's there to do
it now?

Speaker 3 (48:20):
So I I mean, I that's why I think it's
it's it's gonna go we And I think it's just once.
I think once Lebron retired, I know, I hate to
use him.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
I don't think.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
I think the NBA players will never get rid of
the rule because they they lose any kind of leverage
in terms of the guys resting down the stretch or guys.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
Okay, so then change then change the amount of games.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Well, but then then you lose money and it's, oh,
you don't.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
Know, you won't do find a better way to do
this tournament thing, because yes, I mean basketball.

Speaker 4 (48:55):
Did you care about that tournament?

Speaker 3 (48:57):
Though? I didn't find a better way or or find
something different, I don't know, like find something different that.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Didn't did that didn't add to the games? Right, there's
still eighty two games.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
No exactly. It was still a part of the regular season.
So you want to do an attorney because basketball has
always been attorney it always you know, you'd have like
the Big Five Kickoff Classic, you know where the Big
Five Classic at the end or you know, and again
I'm just using examples, but I don't know it, okay.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
But how do you get from eighty two games to
seventy two games without losing money?

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Or how do you get it?

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Because the ticket prices are already through the.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Roof, so they're going to go out.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
That's what I don't think they can.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
I don't know, maybe take ten of those games and
add to the playoffs, or take ten of those games
and make some sort.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
Of I've heard shortening the quarters. I don't know if
that would help.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
I think I think a game I love that a
basketball in a hockey game, you go, it starts at seven,
you're out of there by nine thirty. I love that.
The thing at the end of a basketball game that
I can't stand is the last minute always is like
an hour and a half a basketball. Yeah, I just

(50:17):
I think I think the sport they gotta be thinking,
like we might be in trouble here now.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
I just in the Adam Silver interview, I saw he
clearly was like, we're constantly thinking of ways we know
something has to change, and I just don't think they'd
come up with that yet.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
They're working on They're working trying. I mean, they're trying.
Baseball came out with a bunch of new things. The
purists are like, no, that's kind of it works. Yeah,
it's great, looks a pitch claw. I think it's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
I can't wait to watch night's game. What do you
think about tonight with Wheeler and Sale Wheelers the balls?

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Man?

Speaker 3 (50:58):
I can't wait, Man, I can't wait. I was talking
to Tommy this morning because I had the house to myself.
Michelle's at a conference in Vegas. So I put Tommy
on the bus.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
That's what you told you?

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Right? Yeah? Yes, would you say.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
That's what she told you?

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
And you sit over there and you're sorrow as I'm
as happy as a clan with you.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
That's right, that's true.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Meanwhile, you're gonna find me in a corner. Why did
you say that? Joe? Joe, she hasn't called in five minutes.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
She didn't text me back.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
He's a text me back. You would read the voicemail
with her? Are you with her?

Speaker 4 (51:42):
That would be funny if she walked behind Joe while.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
So, I don't think i'd catch Michelle walking behind Joe
with that poster of himself behind it.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
Yeah, can we talk about how statistic that is?

Speaker 1 (52:01):
It's not. No, it's not narcissistic.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
I know.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
I catch a lot of heat about that. It's the problem,
it's the product.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
Yeah, it's the sham. Wow, he's he's he's advertising blue sham. Wow,
jesus down before this show? Uh, hey, dude, you want it?
Swagger bro.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
I can't even turn my neck. What tell me about you?

Speaker 2 (52:29):
At a thought about that tonight's game. No, Sean was
talking about before Michelle going to Vegas.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Yeah, oh yeah, damn it. I lost my train of thought.
Oh no, about like, do you prefer a pictures dool
or now you just like.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
I like the steroid here. I love seeing nine hundred
home runs. That was fun to me. But but no,
I mean what look in the posts? Yeah, I'll take
a picture.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
I only enjoyed. I always enjoyed, like the you know,
David Wells first, Roger Clemens.

Speaker 4 (53:09):
But see are you? Is it my team I'm watching?
Or is it two teams I don't care about? There's
two teams I don't care about. I want to see
rocket shots, line drives. I don't need those one nothing games.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
Okay, so question both ways? Now it's your team?

Speaker 4 (53:27):
Watching Halliday and Lee work was some of the best
times watching the.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Field, hearing the stories about Roy Halliday, about him coming
in at like four o'clock in the morning, and what
the hell was his name the picture? No, No, Kyle
Kendricks ripped that one out. Kyle Kendricks used to try

(53:58):
to beat him, would get up early in the morning
and try to beat him to clear water and he
didn't do it, didn't work. It's like that. It's like
that Kobe mentality, you know. Did you ever see that
documentary where the I was hired to like follow him
and Kobe told him there they're at like six am,

(54:20):
and he was like, I'll show him. I'll show up
at four and Kobe.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Two, Like, you get more done in today, said when
you show up at two in the morning than you
do if you start your workouts at nine.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
Yeah. So yeah, I got the house to myself, so
I'm gonna watch some baseball.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
Tonight and well, let's go do it. I think we've
covered just about everything.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Whether the Braves won a game, yeah, they went morning.

Speaker 4 (54:51):
So now we know they're gonna be They're gonna be
a problem all year. They always are. They always always
figure something out. So this is important for the Phillies.
I think because pound them while you can if they're
down right now, actually you can right now. The games
count the same.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
Great.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
I just love how the Phillies have been playing small ball.
They've been playing like they're just they're playing small ball.
That's great. It's awesome to see. It's early still, so.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Could see them get off to a good start really
for sure.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Yeah, I totally agree with Michael. I mean, you got
the Braves where you want if, I mean, if, hell,
if you can sweep them this week, take advantage.

Speaker 4 (55:32):
They did start with I think four games against San
Diego and then the Dodgers, so they it's not like
they've had easy schedule so far.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Yeah, because the Padres were well, they're not.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
They were on the feet last time I checked the
Dodgers or just the Dodgers, the torpedo bots.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
It has it made a difference.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
No, they don't hear anything more about it anymore.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Well, Yankees are twenty two home runs in the first
six games.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
And can't pitch. I know, you see who they're putting
out there. A friend of mine who's a Yankees fan
was complaining on social media. He was like, if I
see Carlos Carrasco one more time, and I said, dude,
just so you know, he was in the first Cliff
Lead trade, the first.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
One heat we got mont with that.

Speaker 4 (56:21):
Oh, that's when they traded. That's when they traded the
lead of Seattle. I'm talking about what we got him.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
Oh, that's right, that's right, that's right, Carrascal.

Speaker 4 (56:27):
I think Michael Taylor may have been in it. No,
Michael Taylor was in the Halliday deal. But yeah, Carrasco
was in that. That was our top pitching prospect what
he was. And just to hear that he was still
it wasn't he was one of them. It was Drew
dray Back, Kyle Dreyback. Well, he went in the Holiday trade.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
That's right, to Halliday, that's right, yep.

Speaker 4 (56:51):
He and Michael Taylor were in that one. And I
think that catcher too, that ended up being really good
with the Mets.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
He was a part of them.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
Gosh, wow, yeah, it's uh a long time since I Clie,
very long time.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
And that was that.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
Was some of the most fun baseball watching him work.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
I mean that whole, that whole, that was nine Yeah,
that whole.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Because that was because all of a sudden you notice
he lost it. I mean, I'll never forget that one
game in Chicago where he was just sweating.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
Yeah, we was throwing.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
He retired mid season, and just because he was always
so incredible, he realized there was a point I can't
do it anymore, and I'm not going to sit here
and get lit up.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
I don't need the money right that. When you're so
good and you know that it's it's time, usually you're
the last one to know.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
Usually you're the last one to know. Depends grets. Gretz
played for twenty years and he said someone asked him,
how'd you know it was time? Now, He's like, because
I looked at the statue one day. It was like
it was like February and I had nine goals. And
because that used to be a good weekend for me, you.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
Know already it's already records. Because I think I'm done here.

Speaker 4 (58:20):
Yeah, what do you think of over? Real?

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Quick for it, go Obi? He's now the all time
goal scorer. What do you think of that?

Speaker 3 (58:27):
Not the all time points leader?

Speaker 1 (58:29):
No, no one's going to know. One's going to touch it.

Speaker 4 (58:31):
And I think I think he has. Uh, he got
the the record with one less game than Gretzky.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
Pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Yeah, just to play all these years and be a
forties forty goal scorer again broke.

Speaker 4 (58:47):
Yeah, and the conversation about anything with.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
Unbelievable broke three months ago.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
You're still good.

Speaker 5 (58:57):
The capture good this year too, not so much. Court'll
be interesting to see what goes on. I mean, the
Flyers and the Sixers. So the Tixers, I've lost twelve
Street and there's still a chance that they might lose
out on the top. Well that's the lottery for the lottery.

(59:21):
But again, hopefully the cards fall. I mean for yeah,
you get the number?

Speaker 3 (59:28):
Yeah? Or what did I see the hashtag capture the flag?

Speaker 1 (59:36):
I know, right?

Speaker 3 (59:36):
Winless for Wiggins. Yeah, So I mean it's going to
be interesting. It'll be interesting where they land in the draft,
what what they do?

Speaker 4 (59:51):
Does they do have like seven picks in the first
two rounds something like that?

Speaker 3 (59:58):
Yeah, I mean the guy they no money?

Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
Where's it being spent? Explain it? Like, is gritty that
we spend.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Two million dollars and half's team was traded. They're in trouble, man, Something's.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Up, Something's going on, is that Tobias Harris.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
Yeah. Meanwhile, Tobias had a better better.

Speaker 4 (01:00:25):
I would have rather had Tobias than Paul George.

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
Ah Well, and then our boy number one Harden out there.
He was like, well, you remember who was on the
team last year, right, It's.

Speaker 4 (01:00:36):
Like getting rid of Buckets was the biggest mistake they've
made in the last five six years.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Why do they do that?

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
They went with Simmons over.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
Bucketsnelievable wanted to keep Brett Brown.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
I'll start, No, that's what it was. No, I know
that's what I'm saying. Don't start.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
I mean, it's either that or or get rid of Ben.

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
Wow, that have been a good idea.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
It might have been Ada.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
You think Jimmy said one of them that he had
to have it was.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
I think it was Ben Simmons, because Ben Simmons was gutless.
But if he doesn't want to play basketball.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
Don't If you remember, there was a team only meeting
that apparently Jimmy Butler held that year, and I wouldn't
be shocked trying to get Brett fired.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
I thought that was the meeting with Brett when they
were watching film.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Oh well, maybe it was somebody he said something.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
He kind of came out and was like why is
his name was saying anything here?

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
We're not right right right, We're trying to get it
where it was like, Yeah, that's what it was. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
He made the Warriors a different team immediately.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Yeah, he's a good basketball player.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
He's a good basketball players.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
I mean it just the Sixers always again, they're that
ex girlfriend man this year I.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Beat her this year. Yeah, she gained one hundred pounds too.
All right, she's that bad this year. End on that. Boys,

of fun because everyone's like, oh, oh, I've heard of that,
and it was like this taboo thing. Some media that
I called, they'd be like, uh no, and don't ever
call me again. I was like, okay. Other people thought
it was hystericracle and they wanted to have they wanted
