Speaker 1 (00:01):
Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio home. Your damn
right is Arnie Spayer and VJ.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hus get a big vanilla funny and the stinking genius
sitting there for Jason Smith and Mike Harmon at Fox
Sports Radio. We're broadcasting to you live at the tire
right dot Com studios. Tire right dot com. We'll help

hazard protection, over ten thousand recommend it installers, tire right
dot com the way tire bars should be. And I'll
(00:27):
just say, right now, can I know tire right dot
Com listen. I got to set on my car about
a year going the vanilla Batmobile, and I feel like
I got wolverine claws in my tires. I drive faster,
I hit the corners. I'm telling you, man, I be
out there. Everybody out there, make sure you go to
tire right dot com. Get yourself something. Yeah, dude, you

And doin probably is I didn't have my car and
(00:48):
four wheel drive a yeah, and then sat in there
and want and let four people shove shovel you out.
Arnie Big hour coming up, man, we're gonna talk some
NBA stuff. We'll get into Anthony Edward talking about Lebron
and Brownie and the Labry.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Have to get to the end of the Kansas City game.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Absolutely, we'll get it. Well, well, we'll get to that.
But I like, honestly, I'll be honest with you that
that game, we'll chat, we'll we'll touch it up and
talk on it.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But I didn't expect much for that. We are, but
that doesn't be looking that. What bothers me. What bothers
me is the officials made a grave error.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And what else is new? It's the Kansas City chief
game winning the Revs not screw up. Speaking of screwing up,
George is trying not to screw up right now. Third
and nine, a minute thirteen, right now, and they're down
twenty seven to twenty. There's a scramble by the quarterback
for a first down. He might have gotten it. It looks
like you got the first down scrambling right there? Are
they gonna give it to him? Looks like they're gonna
(01:38):
get him first down. They're trying to tie this game.
Is a minute six left on his clock in Athens, Jordan.
But Georgia between the hedges right now, Carson beck with
a scramble here man, and we'll see if they can
hold that on and don't screw this up. Just also
real quick man, just the reverb back to the coaches.
An associated mom is Tashi up in the Fresnel areas listening.
(01:59):
She said, out of ten message to me, she said,
please don't fire Mike Tomlin. She's a Steelers fan, she says,
she follows, she keeps over with them, and I think
I told her, I think you're safe. I don't think
the Steelers are gonna fire Mike Tomlin. He'll be able
to walk out of there whenever he wants to. Speaking
of walking out of somewhere when they want to, the
Minnesota Timberwolfs decided to make a move this past season.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Quick sidebar.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Georgia has now scored and they're an extra point away
from tying this game up. Donominck love it with a
three yard touchdown reception from Carson Becker, So that game
is now twenty seven to twenty six. To say, girl,
have all of the final with that at the bottom
of the hour, that is a touchdown. As they're showing
to replay whether the ball brooke the plane or not.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
They did.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But the Minnesota Two Boys decided to make a decision
this past season, Arnie. They decided that they were going
to move on from their former franchise player in Carl
Anthony Towns and trade him to the New York Nickobachus
and they were gonna essentially hand the franchise to one Anthony.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Edwards, who a lot of people love. He played great
in the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
He's had a great early year, our early career in
the NBA. High flyer added to us jumpy this offseason
seems to be taking a lot more three pointers. But
I tweeted about I would say maybe about three weeks
ago that they made a change, and I'm pretty sure
they expected within the first twenty games to start better
than nine and ten.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I'm starting to kind of.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Question and wonder his toughness, wonder whether he's a franchise guy.
I told him Martin and our show Martin and VJ.
And I'll see if you agree with this. This is
the year we're gonna find out. Is he Dwayne Wade
or is he Brandon Roy? If you remember, Brandon Roy
was a great score, great perimeter guy high fly. You know,
(03:46):
dunk On you come from Portland. Absolutely, and I'm not
talking about the injuries. But I never, once, never, once
looked at Brandon Roy and said, yo, he can win
you a championship. Anthony Edwards was supposed to be the guy.
He's supposed to be the guy that's gonna take you
to the Promised Land. The question I will propose to you,
missus think and genius. Did the Minnesota timb Wills make
a mistake moving over corner of the towns this fast
(04:07):
and handing this franchise and a loaded Western Conference to
Anthony Edwards?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Well, if you've learned anything from the NBA, you can't
do it by yourself. It's a three superstar league at
least per team, otherwise you have no chance of going far.
At least two and some other guys that will do
your dirty work, and they don't have that. Afony Edwards
is playing well. I mean, the guy's averaging twenty eighth
to game.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
What does he have to do average thirty thirty two
thirty four.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
If that's what it calls for. No, he can't do
that much. Julius Randall actually has played well, but unfortunately
they don't have enough left to a rout of them.
I'm Rudy Gobert, even though he scores some double digits. Yeah,
he's the defensive guy out there. They have four or
five guys that will give you double digits. So it's
not like it's, you know, things are desperate. It's a
(04:57):
five hundred team right now. I think ged and Gel
a little bit. Remember they got two guys that are
playing a lot of minutes that are brand new, one
in Julius Randalls, so you gotta go ahead, and one
in Devinceenzo. So it's gonna take a while for them
to go ahead and figure this whole thing out what.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
They've been to figure it out fast? Okay, And I
know it's early. And like I said, I'm just throwing
this out there because I said last year I listen.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I like the guy, but I feel like he was trying.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
To create a character, like he was trying to create
an aura. I like organic. I have always been that
way in sports. Don't try to make it be something.
Just let it happen organic. If you if you're funny,
just naturally be funny at the mic. If you're charismatic,
just naturally be charismatic at the mic, you don't have
to try. And I thought he was focused a little
(05:46):
more on trying to build the name for himself, for
trying to build this image for himself instead of letting
it happen organically. And I'm a firm believer when you
do that, I think you kind of affect your play.
They're sitting at nine and ten there, the eleventh seed
right now, Like, once again, it's early. It's the first
twenty games. If this league moves fast, and you know
that they're only averaging a buck eleven and they're giving
(06:08):
up a buck ten, so they're not even spreading themselves apart.
They're plus point nine point differential right now. That's got
a clean up. They have the spurs in front of them,
they have the suns in front of them.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I agree with him, though, I'm sorry, Jump, but I
agree with him. I don't think the fans should have
been booing them. You know, it was just last year
where they were going pretty far in the year before that,
and now all of a sudden, through nineteen games, they're
turning their you know, they're turning their tide on them.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Okay, so let's go there. I was Seana gard to
sound for that, and we got it. We'll play for
you fabulous fans out there that are listening to Fox
Sports Radio Land. But listen, let's get real complaining, in
my opinion, complaining about fans bullying. Grow up, get with it,
home boy. This is pro sports, this is pro ball.
This is the highest level in the world. Like in
(06:53):
our business. We got guys that love us, and we
got people that hate us. We got people that love
what I say, and I got people that can't stand
me in at all. That guy get a show and
how this guy get them? Could you imagine me coming
on the radio going, oh man, people from the East
Coast bull you know, talking trash about me on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Man, That's just that's just crazy. Man. No, bro, you're
supposed to be good at what you're doing. On your level.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
There's always gonna be somebody that loves you and hates you.
I love I live by this percent is rule, aren't
he When you walk into a room, fifty percent of
the people in a room are already probably not gonna
like you, just off of your aura, your look, your
energy that disrupts people's demons. Okay, twenty five percent of
them are gonna fall in love with you the minute
they meet you, the minute they lay the eyes on you.
And twenty five percent is undecided. My grandfather and my
(07:38):
dad always taught me you focus on the undecided. It's
like politicians, right, if you already know who's voting for you,
why are you going there? You need to be going
to the places where they don't know yet, are they're undecided.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
That's where your focus needs to be.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So I'm never worried about who doesn't like me or
who doesn't like my opinions. I think pro athletes need
to really get off. These fans pay their money, they
want a good product. Hey you're we're both dolphin fans.
I can see you at a game booming. You take
the seasons over in August every year. So but you
have that right though, right, No, you do have that right.
I don't boom my teams. It really doesn't do anything
(08:14):
for me. I like to get on the other teams.
I think athletes now are too sensitive.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Hashtag Kevin Durant and there's a lot more like that
also with the burner accounts, and I'm sure there's some
way we haven't even caught. And you just can't say
anything was They take it so, you know, right to heart.
They take it so sensitive, and especially in the market.
I'm not gonna say Minneapolis is a small market, but
certainly not New York Arela or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And you know they're young kids.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
You're talking about what twenty four, twenty five, twenty six year.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Olds, So I can understand that. You know, VJ.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
You mentioned if somebody on Twitter says VJ you're the
worst talk show host ever, you may laugh about it.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You may go, oh, we.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Get a good laugh about it, or not even think
about it again. But if the boss said, you know,
VJ wasn't your best show, but you'll get them tomorrow
ripping you, but that may really stick with you for
a while, even.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Though we said it a nice way.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And my whole point is the fans are kind of
like the bosses of these players in a way, and
that's why maybe they take it more to heart.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Maybe that's maybe that's the reason why I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I like that analogy and I like that example, but
I mean, I'm gonna bury horror with myself right now
that myself on the back. I've never had a I've
never had a check signer. Tell me what your best shop.
I'm sorry, it's just a fact, you know, Like they say,
it ain't bragging if it's true, just like I'm sure
you've probably never been zoned. Say that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, log it off. Yeah yeah, you do log it enough.
You'll hear plenty of that, believe me.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well, I've been well, not as long as you and
some other people that I work with here. But no,
I'm and I'm just joshing man. I'm I'm my own
worst critic.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I know when a point.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Didn't hit owing an opinion didn't come out right, or
when I didn't really hit it like I wanted to,
because I you know, we get video. We record ourselves.
I set my phone up and uh and and record
ourselves sou but I never had to it is I
never I never sound like this. Here's mister Anthony Edwards
complaining that the fans were booming check this out.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I did it right now when me and Michael was
talking about I think it's we soft as hell, like
that team internally, like you know what I mean, like
not to the other team, but like internally, like we soft,
like we can't talk to each other. It's just a
bunch of little kids. It's just like we're playing with
a bunch of little kids. Like everybody, like the whole team.
We just can't talk to each other, you know, and
(10:28):
we got to figure it out, man, because we can't.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Go down this road.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'm not sure that sound was looking for. I was
living for the bully thing. But I'll touch on that
real fast too. If y'all saw off, who's the leader?
Who's the leader of the team. You're the leader of
the team, ed, you're the leader of the team. That's
like a dad saying, man, I have such a disruptive house.
Uh well, pop, you better fix something. It's not up
to mom and damn short up to the kids. It's
(10:56):
up to you dad. Everybody in this room has Everybody
doesn't new insult. The Dolphins are soft?
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh god yeah, Minnesota soft.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
If you don't get it done, you're soft. That's the
that's the new hinde what everybody? What?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
What is that though? Arnie?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Why are guys so quick to say we're soft but
not really give the example of being Like if I
call somebody soft, I got examples of why you're saft?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Went they they're probably like they're probably could play to like, hey,
you know we what there's no more cheeseburgers left on
our private flight out there. You you know what, you
turkey heat a pasta salad, right, it's.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Sixty six degrees.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
It's supposed to be sixty seven degrees of the year,
you know, doing stuff like that. I maybe they're talking
about when the Dolphins brought like ten thousand dollars or
one hundred thousand dollars worth of coach to Green Bay
and they're acting soft. I'm not sure what it means.
It means different things to different players out there. I
just know it's kind of like an insult and they're
trying to go ahead and get their team all riled up.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Really yeah, I'm listen if you want to get your
team riled up. And this is why I love Kobe,
this is why I love Jordan, this is why I
love Dan Marine on Isaiah Thomas and the guys that
I love to my heart and soul. And just a
quick sidebar for our fans that are listening right now.
Twenty seven twenty seven, fourth and one seven seconds left.
Georgia Tech has the football. I'm trying to see where
(12:20):
it is I did just see her.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Cross on the forty five. Okay, so they're on the.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Forty six, so this would be a fifty three right correct.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Fifte sixty sixty three sixty three?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Oh no, that's twenty yards then, aren't you know? Seventeen
yards at seventeen seventeen? So what sixty So it'd be
a foh yeah, maybe sixty one right now from where
they lined up at. So we'll try to keep you
guys updated on this. They're gonna snap on fourth and
one right now. Seven seconds. Georgia Tech has a time out,
so I think if they get the first, they can
get a time out. I think Georgia just took a
(12:50):
time out right now and spent their second. They now
have one left. Georgia trying to solidify themselves into the
college Football Playoff and be one of those large teams
going in there. But just to put a bow on
this whole thing about softness, and this is why I
like certain guys that are just named you just you
don't have to call yourself soft. You could just say
remember when Kobe Bryant and the Lakers got eliminated in Game
(13:11):
six by thirty six points to the Boston Celtics. Yeah,
he said at that podium and he said we got
to get tougher. We knew what he was talking about.
He was talking about gasol, and he was talking about
buying because they got punked by big ticket Kevin Garnett
and a guy named Leo and Poe. Remember when Phil
Jackson mis pronounced his name on person and called him
pow and just to kind of send a message like, hey,
we don't even know who this guy is and this
(13:32):
guy's out here getting rebounds all over us. And Kendrick
Perkins and Kobe sat there and said we got to
get tougher. I could take that. But to call oh
we we soft, well, dude, you're the leader. You're the leader,
so that means you're soft too. It's wording. I'm big
about wording. You know, all our parents and grandparents always
told us, Arnie, it's not what.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You say, but how you Maybe.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Maybe we'll get the team pumped up, get them going,
and that's what usually you know, that's why usually you
say stuf like this. I mean, look at Minnesota, it's
coulda take a while. Like I said, two new players
getting a lot of minutes. I think it will turn
around for him. I'm not ready to jump ship.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, I was already off the ship, and I hope
I'm not. We're gonna stay on this. You and I
probably do some more shows around Christmas.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
In the new year.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
We'll definitely touch back in and the something else will
touch back on when we come about. And it's him
that's soft. Speaking of Salt, there's a franchise, I say.
I thought that was one of the strongest franchises in
all of the National Basketball Association.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
They've seem to have gone a little soft over the
last on No.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Seven, eight years since a certain person landing in this
private jet at the Van Hos Airport, as VJ.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Vernon Husky said they would.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
We'll touch on that at almost more also the top
of the hour, guys special NFL. Guess I'm so excited.
It's a surprise for my friend Arnie. I reached out
to this guy specifically for you, my good man. Oh yes,
I'm dead serious. I'm not even joking, no hyperbole. I

Speaker 1 (15:43):
We were just talking about soft players.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I just got a text message from uh from the
homegirl TOSSI who's listening.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
She texts me and asks me, do you consider yourself
a soft man?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And Arenie, I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't
even know how to answer that. I don't I don't
know how to answer that, brother, because I think, like
I'm a girl dad, right, I have daughters, I have
a son. But you know, I I I think I'm
a tough guy. I'm not a weak man. I you know,
I'm tough minded. I'm former military. I was in the Army.
I coup from a drill stars and dad leven Bravo
(16:14):
airborne ranger. My mother was a colonel in the Pentagon.
There's a there's a toughness about me. I'm not but
I you know, I I think I'm gentle. I think
I'm you know, soft when I need to be when
it comes to let's say, like the ladies or my
daughter or something like that. I don't know how to airson, Arny,
are you a soft guy?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I'm soft only because I compare myself to my dad,
And you know, my dad's ra those guys were tough.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You know.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I just, I'll just I won't bore you with the facts.
But when my dad was in the war, he was
a medic. Just think about that. You have no training,
you're oh, it's horrible and no think about this. You
have no medical trip you know is to take two
aspens before you go to bed, and you're out on
the battlefield. H you know, while Bob's are going off
(16:57):
with no training whatsoever. Uh, and people are dying around you,
so that's that's not be hidden soft nowadays?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Were soft compared to guys like that?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Well, yeah, I think we're softer today, just by society,
living standards, just the way the world is built, the
way the world is put together today. Can't say it is,
can't say that, can't do this. Everyone is offended. I
tell people all the time, you can't offend me like
you can't. You can't offend me. You can piss me off,
but you can't really offend me.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Like.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I've been through too much in my life. I've been
called every name on the book.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I've been through everything, and I've come out the back
end of every storm that God's ever put me through.
You can't really offend me. It's always funny to me
when people are like, oh my god, he said that.
I was so offended. I do think we're soft where
people are looking to be upset and looking to be
unhappy other than just enjoying life and enjoying the Ryan
And speaking of soft, Arnie, there was an NBA friends,
(17:53):
I think you agree with me. They used to be
tough man, they were so tough minded. They were showtime
back in the day. It's some tough guys man playing
on I ain't ankles and you know, hurt body parts
and didn't sit out and played and back to back
to backs, and they wanted to play man.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
The season was condensed, you had to play a lot more.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
But now I think they're soft, Bro, And I think
that's because they're stars soft.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I'm being honest.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I think their stars soft, and they made some soft
decisions in my opinion. I'm talking about the Los Angeles Lakers.
And a story came out about Brownie. We know the
whole story about Bronni being drafted fifty fifth overall. By
the way, did you see us Seed? Did you see
the whooping us Seed took last night? And I did, Bro,
did you see that they took taken two whoopings out?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Like that they looked like forty last about like thirty
or forty points or something. It was crazy. But this
used to be a really tough minded franchise. When you
think about Magic and Kareem and then you think about
Shaq and Kobe and and you know even Mitch cup
Check at GM and the owner and doctor Jerry Buzzy,
they just used to be It used to be a
tough team man, and I think ever since Lebron's got there,
(18:55):
this team has gotten weak.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
We don't we don't.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Look at when you think about it, we don't look
at Anthony Davis as a tough We don't look at
Lebron James as a tough guy.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I mean, the god flops when he gets.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Hit by a guard, but he flexes when he gets
an am one, when you slap him on the wrists,
and shows how big and strong he is. But when
you think about what they're doing with Bronni right now, Bronnie,
let me throw this number out there for I don't
know if you've seen this, but I'm gonna throw this
at you right now. Brother, Bronni is ranked number three
hundred in pe R right now in the G League,
out of.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Three hundred and eighty six players.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Bro, that's a soft franchise that has to come to
the powers and the narcissisticness of Lebron James. Draft my son,
give him a guaranteed contract. Doctor Jerry Bust would have
told him, all right, Bro, go shove it somewhere. I'm
not doing that. I'll pay you, I'll take care of you.
But we're not drafting your some fifty either. Just to
make you happy, this man traded Shack to This man
(19:46):
looked at Kobe and said, listen, let me deal with this.
You're not going anywhere. I'm gonna trade Shaquille O'Neill in
the world like shook. Right, what they traded Shack. That's
how tough minded this used to be. Yeah, am I
banging too hard here?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Or do you kind of feel me on this? This
doesn't seem like a Saft franchise. Now, Look, and I
understand your point.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
A lot of people do feel the same way that
it shouldn't have been drafted and it shouldn't be on
the team, that it should be strick in the G league.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
A lot of people feel that he shouldn't even be
in the G League.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
If you look what the numbers he put up, he's
down there or even in the G league on that.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
But you know what about Giannis's brother?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
What about some of the kids that are on college
basketball teams that their fathers are the coach, And there's
happened to be a couple of them out there. I
forgot which one just got slammed dunked on at the
end of the game and looked pretty.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Oh yeah, dude put his son in yes, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
And anyway, he didn't get dunked on.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
And back in my neighborhood, we called that game yamed On.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah yeah, he called he called yams with the.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Now and the guy none of did he get dunked
on and he fell down, right.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I forget who it was it come to be, but no,
I don't. I'm not sure. I think I don't think
it was Gonzaga, but it happened. It just does.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
So this is not a unique situation. It's not the
first time. But that doesn't mean that Lebron's rooting the
franchise or if look what he's done, look at his age.
Jill Cowy's kept himself in shape without any real.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
What do you have to do with the franchise?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Well, why is the franchise soft? I mean they did
win a championship a couple years ago during the COVID
you count the Bubble Championship. I do all championships the same,
whether it's the Bubble non Bubble, they all they all
still get the trophy for it. So I give it
to him. I'm not gonna take that away from him.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
And I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
You can't take a four month break and then go
play twenty one games and call and tell me that
counts as a champion.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I'm not. I never.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It's the same thing with the Dodgers sixty one season.
It's the same thing. Sixty games. There's a dude that
is less. That is more than one hundred games they
didn't play, and you're telling me that that's a championship.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
This is the analogy I use it before I go there.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
At quick sidebar over time, Georgia Georgia Tech. Georgia gets
the ball first, they go score thirty four to twenty seven.
Georgia Tech gets the ball and answers and ties extra point.
Good to Sega. Have a little bit of more of
that coming up in that matter of fact. Speaking of which,
and I'm sorry I jumped the gun there went and
watching the clock. Let's go to our guy to Sega
for some updates in this game and everything else in

of the Lake games Austin Reeves after a hard foul

In the Cayman Islands, the Irish had led with about
five minutes to go, and the Dodgers re signed Tommy
Edmund to a five year tension. He was n LCS MVP.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Back to you, hey, guys, by the way, real quick,
the saga VJ started interrupt. If I had a nickel
for every person that just put this on Twitter. Everybody
blasting Georgia Tech not going for two because they said
next time around, you're gonna have to go for two anyway,
and that's just to tie the game. Everybody said, why
did you go for two to get the win? They
are blasting them all over Twitter.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
And the quarterback for Georgia Tech.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Exactly tell those tables to shut up. That's why they're home.
So Steve, just real fast. You know you.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I don't think you noticed, but I'll tell you. You're
you're You're easily my favorite person to talk running back
with you because you and I talk a lot of
college running back. Whenever we talk about jen Z, do
you think he's got a shot at Barry Sanders his
record because he needed to average one eighty two? I
think it was I saw and today he goes for
to and some change.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
What I hate I talked about with Steve Hartman about
this last weekend on his show that I hate about
college stats, that they're not consistent. That if you go
back to Ron Dayne and before that didn't count the
Bull game.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
No, exactly, what are you kidding me?
Speaker 8 (26:06):
They played the game.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yes, Oh my god, I can't believe you, and I yes,
how do you not.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Count the Bull stats?
Speaker 7 (26:13):
So, you know, I wish somebody would just come up
with a new record book and include all the games
that were actually playing.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Rerite it. Yeah, why not?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
You know people tried and played, you know Ron Daye,
those Rose Bowls? Ye are you telling me those don't count?
That's ridiculous, That's it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Ricky Williams too.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Oh twenty five years ago?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Absolutely so.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I watching him today, it's just like, man, this is
a Dallas. If you're listening, here's your solution right there
to help Dak Prescott on. This kid is amazing.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
I think number of people he was a thousand yard
or fourteen hundred yard rusher so last season exactly.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I think he gets to Steve. I don't see anything
stopping his kid. I think he can grab that and
I hope he does. Arnie, do you think jenz it's
this record is Barry Sanders record?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yes? To average? Is that what it is?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Well? Yes, before but before today and he goes for
to and some change to that. Yeah, I know he
had a great game today. I'm gonna say, yes, he's
feeding him the ball. Now what he got a lot
of carries. He wasn't doing that many carries, so he's
picked that up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I'm just excited. I think the kid is phenomenal. I
love his talent, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Georgia Georgia Tech quick up date. Georgia Tech score king
the quarterback on the keeper, but they don't get the
two point conversion.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Great defensive play.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I hate when teams try to throw a screen and
they don't block the end, because that's the guy that
can leap out with his hand and deflect the ball
with Georgia just did so. Now Georgia, all they have
to do is score and kick the extra point. They
don't have, well, they have to go for two, so
they have to score get the two point conversion, and.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
They await I did wait? I think they went for
two there. They weren't forced to go for two?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
There were they? I thought they do? They have to
go for two in a second over time and a
third overtime. I thought it was the third. I thought
that got changed. Okay, either knows.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
Yeah, I thought you had to and then the third
it's just two point play.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
He's back and forth exactly. Okay, they don't to go
for two.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Here, so they don't have those seven overtime games like
they used to. They really make you go for two
earlier in the ot.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's more reason for me to tell those people on
Twitter to shut up because they just went for two
and they didn't get it and they didn't have to
and Georgia just scored.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
So if they don't get the extra point for the moment,
it's forty to forty winding down the second overtime. If
they don't get the extra point here, the teams would
alternate two point conversion attempts the.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Exactly more drive, there's no more drives, exactly absolutely, this
game's over. They're gonna kick this set. You're gonna kick
the sexual point in Georgia. I mean, it is what
it is. I would have just kicked.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
They have to go for two here, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
They have they have to go for two here. Yeah, okay,
there we go, all right, okay, okay, So that's right.
They moved it. That's what I thought. I thought they
moved it up it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I ain't know if it was the the last three years,
hard the second to the third. So they have to
go for two here. So big moment right here. Uh,
Georgia season on the line as far as trying to
get to the Coas Football playoff. They already have two
losses They are the seventh ranked team and the nation
right now, and I don't think three lost teams could
get in. But sitting at seven, I don't know if
they would fall too far out. Georgia Tech isn't terrible.
(29:06):
They are seven and fourteen right now. But basically, here's
the two point version. Try and we'll see right here
on this play and dropped in complete passed. You know,
the Georgia Tech coach did not know that he had
to go for two. After the last touchdown he had
the one finger. He's like, let's go for one. Let's
go for one. Can we call that? Can we say
(29:28):
he ebra fluced? Can we use that now? After yesterday?
I think we should. I just dubbed it. Hey, Mary,
cut that he here? Let me say it again for you.
Oh my god, he ebra fluced? Okay, cut that right there?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
All right?
Speaker 7 (29:40):
Moving to say after the firing today, people may not
know that name as the years go by.
Speaker 8 (29:45):
How many more chances is he's gonna get as an
NFL head coach?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Good question, great question.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
It's like Brandon Staley. Oh we know him now. A
few years from now, anybody canna remember?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Nobody? No, especially if Harball taste.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
These guys do a champion conference championship game, super Bowl or.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
So you know, Jim Harbo, the team that actually has
a defense this year, Oh god no, I like the
defensive coordinator they hired before him.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
To be absolutely absolutely, they looked like it Monday. But
that is that is.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Two times Baltimore's thirty points a game.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
It's two times MVP. And and you and I were
both at the game. We saw with our with our
own eyes. I love Harball's post games. That one I
got out of kind of fast.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I was there for.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I was I was there for about three minutes, and
I could tell no matter what you asked him, you
were gonna get you know, Uh, I believe in what we.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Got going, and uh, you know, we'll fix it, we'll
move forward it.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Yeah, they gave up the defense, gave up the long
play that pretty much ended it in the fourth. And
I know a Charger people are probably thinking, you know,
six minutes to go if they just don't pick up
the flag on pass interference. We got a first in
goal the right look in the game. It changes everything
for the last five minutes.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
And they picked that flag up and and uh.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
Either way, that was a former defensive back who's an
NFL ref at side judge through the flag a dB,
through the flag on the field on a dB and
then and then the crew huddled and picked up to
fix it up.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Do you like that, Steve when Cruz, Because I think
the genesis is just.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Get the call right, and I feel.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
That that's what overall, regardless of situation scene.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
That's why we like this sky judge.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
How if it's something obvious, they can correct it. It's like,
you know, being a sports history fan, the eighty five
World Series, aren't even remember it looked like the Cardinals
were going to win at Kansas City and a completely
blown call at first base.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Dec or something, Yeah, yep, there you go, or.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
The call it first with the perfect game galarraga.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
I mean, it's just shouldn't happen.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, you're right, you're right, You're absolutely right. They shouldn't happen.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And I'm with you, and I think every call, maybe
a holding, you know, you can let that, you know,
just if its call, if holding, But I think question
pass interference calls. I think the ref should be able
to come together. New York's already watching it. New York's
in the headed head judge's ear. He's in a ED
official's ear already.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And that was Monday.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
There's only one game going.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
On exactly, and Nigga said, hey, hey, guys, you know,
let's pick that up. That's not bad. Let's not ruin
the game. Let's not be the story of the game.
So great stuff. The saga always to coming down to
stretch two, guys. Third overtime, just two point conversions from
now false start penalty just got thrown on Georgia ten.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
To start the overtime.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
To start the overtime, sideline warning, it was oh okay, wow,
Georgia busy celebrating, I guess, and now Kirby Smart's.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Arguing, Oh my goodness, gracious.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Ah man, Now, remember these are only two point plays
back and forth. You just got a defensive penalty Georgia
before Tech attempts. It's one two point play, the play
of the possession.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Yeah, this is either now you could run the ball.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Oh yeah, want this is our po If this is me,
if I'm in coach Vj's head, as I'm a coach,
this is our po. Our I like two reads right here,
RPOI to give it keep it or r PO pull it.
And tight end across the middle. Maybe you bringing a
receiver in motion and you run him out to the
flat right when the ball starts.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Something of that nature. They try to get this in man.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
So I don't know if they have a touch push,
but I'm doing that from one yard out. If I
can get it in, I may have to do something
like that.
Speaker 8 (33:18):
Kelsey the center for this team.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
And a final court.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Does the quarterback squat five hundred pounds like Jalen?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
He's a tough quarterback. He is. He's a guy.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I know he's banged up a little bit, but he's
a pretty tough guy.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
That's why we came.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yeah, yeah, that's why I like it. But it's at
the forties. I'm about to say that there is at
the three?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Is that the three?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
They're not They're not just pushing right here. So there's
the motion guy that I want. And here we go
with another fly. I hate that we got to pay
some bills, guys, but we do great topics. Man, We're
almost through the first two hours of tonight when we
come back.
Speaker 1 (33:49):

Speaker 2 (35:47):
I didn't know that. So Also a quick update on
this game, Arnie, this is wild right forty two forty
two Georgia Tech just scored their two point conversion play.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Now we are going to a six over.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
To in this Georgia, Georgia tech game man, what a
ryvery And we're gonna talk about robbery football coming up
in a few hours. Also to coming up soon, we
are going to have our special guests at the top
of the hour.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
I can't wait for that. I'm super excited. Arnie.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I have a question for you, my good man. As always,
the Dodgers just signed Blake Schnell for one hundred and
eighty million dollars. We know the deals that they've given out, Arnie.
Are we looking at a new evil empire? Because remember
when the Yankees were winning four in a row. People
who if they're buying championships and they're buying which I
(36:36):
never really subscribed to because I'm like, well, they got
some great home talent, guys, they're not buying everything. They
drafted Derek Jeter, right, you know they they they brought
up Andy Pettitt. Yeah, you go get a you know,
a Darryl Strawberry at one point, you go get a
Dwight good Remember Dwight good and had Was it a
no hit or a perfect game that Dwight Gooden had
from mind? I know, you know, off the top of
(36:56):
your head, I'm not sure Okay, oh wow, themn I'm
the man.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
You just set me up. Thought you would the action
about Belvo, You don't, he might. I think he did
have a world or no hitter with that. I know
he had a no hitter.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
I was just wondering if it was a perfect air
was it David Wells that through the perfect kid?
Speaker 1 (37:11):
David Wells had a perfect David well through the perfect game.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
But he you know, remember at that point Dwight Gooden was,
you know, thought to be lost and no one wanted them.
Yankee signed him. He has a no hitter for them,
but people were thinking, no, they're the e WA empire.
They're just buying World Series championships. And now we're seeing
what the Dodgers are doing. Are there Dodgers the new
evil empire of Major League Baseball?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
But first of all, going back to the Yankees since
two thousand, I think they only have was it one
once serios nine, So you know they could spend all
the money they want, they weren't buying themselves championship. And
as you mentioned, how could you fault the Dodgers when
you got the Yankees doing it, you got the Mets
doing it, that's for sure. I mean, you're still here
hearing about Juan Soto and what's gonna happen there. And
(37:53):
by the way, if you did you if you believe
those were rumors about him going to the Red Sox.
I don't believe it yet because that's not even been confirmed.
But no, they're not the evil umpire. They're just doing
what they have to do. If they're the evil umpire,
it's only because they found the way to defer the payments.
And that's what's upsetting everybody. Uh So let's go here.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Do you like that or not.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
I don't like it necessarily, but hey, if you can
find the way to do it, and it's just creative financing,
everybody doesn't. It doesn't even matter the sport they do
it in football, basketball will pay you. Like Aaron Rodgers
got paid very little, He's gonna get paid a boatload
next year.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
It's that's just the way it is.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Look at the Benilla contract or the the you know,
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Bobby, isn't he still getting money from the Mets.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Of course, so it that's gonna go on and on
and on. So it's just we've been dealing with this
for a long time. Nothing's gonna change.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah, I I don't. I tell you this.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
I don't think they are, but I want them to become.
Why Yeah, because, man, we need a We need a
bad guy.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
We need a villain in sports. We need a team
to hate. Are you kidding me? I thrive on teams
that I hate.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
I thrive on my teams that I love, but I
can't stand them bum ass Jets.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
We don't hate the Astros for cheating, not you. We
should just start there.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
I do.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
I think everybody does, though. Are great on our radio.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Our great guy Mallard. I just shook his hand and
talked to him. He sat next to me covering the
charge the other night. I told him, hey man, I
joked him and said, dude, give the Astros a break.
He goes never never like there are people that knocked
the Astros all the time.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
But I think that we do need a team for
everybody to hate.

and want and let four people shove shovel you out.
Arnie Big hour coming up, man, we're gonna talk some
NBA stuff. We'll get into Anthony Edward talking about Lebron
and Brownie and the Labry.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Have to get to the end of the Kansas City game.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Absolutely, we'll get it. Well, well, we'll get to that.
But I like, honestly, I'll be honest with you that
that game, we'll chat, we'll we'll touch it up and
talk on it.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But I didn't expect much for that. We are, but
that doesn't be looking that. What bothers me. What bothers
me is the officials made a grave error.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And what else is new? It's the Kansas City chief
game winning the Revs not screw up. Speaking of screwing up,
George is trying not to screw up right now. Third
and nine, a minute thirteen, right now, and they're down
twenty seven to twenty. There's a scramble by the quarterback
for a first down. He might have gotten it. It looks
like you got the first down scrambling right there? Are
they gonna give it to him? Looks like they're gonna
(01:38):
get him first down. They're trying to tie this game.
Is a minute six left on his clock in Athens, Jordan.
But Georgia between the hedges right now, Carson beck with
a scramble here man, and we'll see if they can
hold that on and don't screw this up. Just also
real quick man, just the reverb back to the coaches.
An associated mom is Tashi up in the Fresnel areas listening.
(01:59):
She said, out of ten message to me, she said,
please don't fire Mike Tomlin. She's a Steelers fan, she says,
she follows, she keeps over with them, and I think
I told her, I think you're safe. I don't think
the Steelers are gonna fire Mike Tomlin. He'll be able
to walk out of there whenever he wants to. Speaking
of walking out of somewhere when they want to, the
Minnesota Timberwolfs decided to make a move this past season.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Quick sidebar.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Georgia has now scored and they're an extra point away
from tying this game up. Donominck love it with a
three yard touchdown reception from Carson Becker, So that game
is now twenty seven to twenty six. To say, girl,
have all of the final with that at the bottom
of the hour, that is a touchdown. As they're showing
to replay whether the ball brooke the plane or not.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
They did.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But the Minnesota Two Boys decided to make a decision
this past season, Arnie. They decided that they were going
to move on from their former franchise player in Carl
Anthony Towns and trade him to the New York Nickobachus
and they were gonna essentially hand the franchise to one Anthony.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Edwards, who a lot of people love. He played great
in the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
He's had a great early year, our early career in
the NBA. High flyer added to us jumpy this offseason
seems to be taking a lot more three pointers. But
I tweeted about I would say maybe about three weeks
ago that they made a change, and I'm pretty sure
they expected within the first twenty games to start better
than nine and ten.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I'm starting to kind of.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Question and wonder his toughness, wonder whether he's a franchise guy.
I told him Martin and our show Martin and VJ.
And I'll see if you agree with this. This is
the year we're gonna find out. Is he Dwayne Wade
or is he Brandon Roy? If you remember, Brandon Roy
was a great score, great perimeter guy high fly. You know,
(03:46):
dunk On you come from Portland. Absolutely, and I'm not
talking about the injuries. But I never, once, never, once
looked at Brandon Roy and said, yo, he can win
you a championship. Anthony Edwards was supposed to be the guy.
He's supposed to be the guy that's gonna take you
to the Promised Land. The question I will propose to you,
missus think and genius. Did the Minnesota timb Wills make
a mistake moving over corner of the towns this fast
(04:07):
and handing this franchise and a loaded Western Conference to
Anthony Edwards?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Well, if you've learned anything from the NBA, you can't
do it by yourself. It's a three superstar league at
least per team, otherwise you have no chance of going far.
At least two and some other guys that will do
your dirty work, and they don't have that. Afony Edwards
is playing well. I mean, the guy's averaging twenty eighth
to game.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
What does he have to do average thirty thirty two
thirty four.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
If that's what it calls for. No, he can't do
that much. Julius Randall actually has played well, but unfortunately
they don't have enough left to a rout of them.
I'm Rudy Gobert, even though he scores some double digits. Yeah,
he's the defensive guy out there. They have four or
five guys that will give you double digits. So it's
not like it's, you know, things are desperate. It's a
(04:57):
five hundred team right now. I think ged and Gel
a little bit. Remember they got two guys that are
playing a lot of minutes that are brand new, one
in Julius Randalls, so you gotta go ahead, and one
in Devinceenzo. So it's gonna take a while for them
to go ahead and figure this whole thing out what.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
They've been to figure it out fast? Okay, And I
know it's early. And like I said, I'm just throwing
this out there because I said last year I listen.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I like the guy, but I feel like he was trying.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
To create a character, like he was trying to create
an aura. I like organic. I have always been that
way in sports. Don't try to make it be something.
Just let it happen organic. If you if you're funny,
just naturally be funny at the mic. If you're charismatic,
just naturally be charismatic at the mic, you don't have
to try. And I thought he was focused a little
(05:46):
more on trying to build the name for himself, for
trying to build this image for himself instead of letting
it happen organically. And I'm a firm believer when you
do that, I think you kind of affect your play.
They're sitting at nine and ten there, the eleventh seed
right now, Like, once again, it's early. It's the first
twenty games. If this league moves fast, and you know
that they're only averaging a buck eleven and they're giving
(06:08):
up a buck ten, so they're not even spreading themselves apart.
They're plus point nine point differential right now. That's got
a clean up. They have the spurs in front of them,
they have the suns in front of them.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I agree with him, though, I'm sorry, Jump, but I
agree with him. I don't think the fans should have
been booing them. You know, it was just last year
where they were going pretty far in the year before that,
and now all of a sudden, through nineteen games, they're
turning their you know, they're turning their tide on them.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Okay, so let's go there. I was Seana gard to
sound for that, and we got it. We'll play for
you fabulous fans out there that are listening to Fox
Sports Radio Land. But listen, let's get real complaining, in
my opinion, complaining about fans bullying. Grow up, get with it,
home boy. This is pro sports, this is pro ball.
This is the highest level in the world. Like in
(06:53):
our business. We got guys that love us, and we
got people that hate us. We got people that love
what I say, and I got people that can't stand
me in at all. That guy get a show and
how this guy get them? Could you imagine me coming
on the radio going, oh man, people from the East
Coast bull you know, talking trash about me on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Man, That's just that's just crazy. Man. No, bro, you're
supposed to be good at what you're doing. On your level.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
There's always gonna be somebody that loves you and hates you.
I love I live by this percent is rule, aren't
he When you walk into a room, fifty percent of
the people in a room are already probably not gonna
like you, just off of your aura, your look, your
energy that disrupts people's demons. Okay, twenty five percent of
them are gonna fall in love with you the minute
they meet you, the minute they lay the eyes on you.
And twenty five percent is undecided. My grandfather and my
(07:38):
dad always taught me you focus on the undecided. It's
like politicians, right, if you already know who's voting for you,
why are you going there? You need to be going
to the places where they don't know yet, are they're undecided.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
That's where your focus needs to be.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So I'm never worried about who doesn't like me or
who doesn't like my opinions. I think pro athletes need
to really get off. These fans pay their money, they
want a good product. Hey you're we're both dolphin fans.
I can see you at a game booming. You take
the seasons over in August every year. So but you
have that right though, right, No, you do have that right.
I don't boom my teams. It really doesn't do anything
(08:14):
for me. I like to get on the other teams.
I think athletes now are too sensitive.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Hashtag Kevin Durant and there's a lot more like that
also with the burner accounts, and I'm sure there's some
way we haven't even caught. And you just can't say
anything was They take it so, you know, right to heart.
They take it so sensitive, and especially in the market.
I'm not gonna say Minneapolis is a small market, but
certainly not New York Arela or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And you know they're young kids.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
You're talking about what twenty four, twenty five, twenty six year.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Olds, So I can understand that. You know, VJ.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
You mentioned if somebody on Twitter says VJ you're the
worst talk show host ever, you may laugh about it.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You may go, oh, we.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Get a good laugh about it, or not even think
about it again. But if the boss said, you know,
VJ wasn't your best show, but you'll get them tomorrow
ripping you, but that may really stick with you for
a while, even.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Though we said it a nice way.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And my whole point is the fans are kind of
like the bosses of these players in a way, and
that's why maybe they take it more to heart.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Maybe that's maybe that's the reason why I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I like that analogy and I like that example, but
I mean, I'm gonna bury horror with myself right now
that myself on the back. I've never had a I've
never had a check signer. Tell me what your best shop.
I'm sorry, it's just a fact, you know, Like they say,
it ain't bragging if it's true, just like I'm sure
you've probably never been zoned. Say that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, log it off. Yeah yeah, you do log it enough.
You'll hear plenty of that, believe me.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well, I've been well, not as long as you and
some other people that I work with here. But no,
I'm and I'm just joshing man. I'm I'm my own
worst critic.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I know when a point.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Didn't hit owing an opinion didn't come out right, or
when I didn't really hit it like I wanted to,
because I you know, we get video. We record ourselves.
I set my phone up and uh and and record
ourselves sou but I never had to it is I
never I never sound like this. Here's mister Anthony Edwards
complaining that the fans were booming check this out.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I did it right now when me and Michael was
talking about I think it's we soft as hell, like
that team internally, like you know what I mean, like
not to the other team, but like internally, like we soft,
like we can't talk to each other. It's just a
bunch of little kids. It's just like we're playing with
a bunch of little kids. Like everybody, like the whole team.
We just can't talk to each other, you know, and
(10:28):
we got to figure it out, man, because we can't.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Go down this road.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'm not sure that sound was looking for. I was
living for the bully thing. But I'll touch on that
real fast too. If y'all saw off, who's the leader?
Who's the leader of the team. You're the leader of
the team, ed, you're the leader of the team. That's
like a dad saying, man, I have such a disruptive house.
Uh well, pop, you better fix something. It's not up
to mom and damn short up to the kids. It's
(10:56):
up to you dad. Everybody in this room has Everybody
doesn't new insult. The Dolphins are soft?
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh god yeah, Minnesota soft.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
If you don't get it done, you're soft. That's the
that's the new hinde what everybody? What?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
What is that though? Arnie?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Why are guys so quick to say we're soft but
not really give the example of being Like if I
call somebody soft, I got examples of why you're saft?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Went they they're probably like they're probably could play to like, hey,
you know we what there's no more cheeseburgers left on
our private flight out there. You you know what, you
turkey heat a pasta salad, right, it's.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Sixty six degrees.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
It's supposed to be sixty seven degrees of the year,
you know, doing stuff like that. I maybe they're talking
about when the Dolphins brought like ten thousand dollars or
one hundred thousand dollars worth of coach to Green Bay
and they're acting soft. I'm not sure what it means.
It means different things to different players out there. I
just know it's kind of like an insult and they're
trying to go ahead and get their team all riled up.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Really yeah, I'm listen if you want to get your
team riled up. And this is why I love Kobe,
this is why I love Jordan, this is why I
love Dan Marine on Isaiah Thomas and the guys that
I love to my heart and soul. And just a
quick sidebar for our fans that are listening right now.
Twenty seven twenty seven, fourth and one seven seconds left.
Georgia Tech has the football. I'm trying to see where
(12:20):
it is I did just see her.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Cross on the forty five. Okay, so they're on the.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Forty six, so this would be a fifty three right correct.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Fifte sixty sixty three sixty three?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Oh no, that's twenty yards then, aren't you know? Seventeen
yards at seventeen seventeen? So what sixty So it'd be
a foh yeah, maybe sixty one right now from where
they lined up at. So we'll try to keep you
guys updated on this. They're gonna snap on fourth and
one right now. Seven seconds. Georgia Tech has a time out,
so I think if they get the first, they can
get a time out. I think Georgia just took a
(12:50):
time out right now and spent their second. They now
have one left. Georgia trying to solidify themselves into the
college Football Playoff and be one of those large teams
going in there. But just to put a bow on
this whole thing about softness, and this is why I
like certain guys that are just named you just you
don't have to call yourself soft. You could just say
remember when Kobe Bryant and the Lakers got eliminated in Game
(13:11):
six by thirty six points to the Boston Celtics. Yeah,
he said at that podium and he said we got
to get tougher. We knew what he was talking about.
He was talking about gasol, and he was talking about
buying because they got punked by big ticket Kevin Garnett
and a guy named Leo and Poe. Remember when Phil
Jackson mis pronounced his name on person and called him
pow and just to kind of send a message like, hey,
we don't even know who this guy is and this
(13:32):
guy's out here getting rebounds all over us. And Kendrick
Perkins and Kobe sat there and said we got to
get tougher. I could take that. But to call oh
we we soft, well, dude, you're the leader. You're the leader,
so that means you're soft too. It's wording. I'm big
about wording. You know, all our parents and grandparents always
told us, Arnie, it's not what.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You say, but how you Maybe.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Maybe we'll get the team pumped up, get them going,
and that's what usually you know, that's why usually you
say stuf like this. I mean, look at Minnesota, it's
coulda take a while. Like I said, two new players
getting a lot of minutes. I think it will turn
around for him. I'm not ready to jump ship.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, I was already off the ship, and I hope
I'm not. We're gonna stay on this. You and I
probably do some more shows around Christmas.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
In the new year.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
We'll definitely touch back in and the something else will
touch back on when we come about. And it's him
that's soft. Speaking of Salt, there's a franchise, I say.
I thought that was one of the strongest franchises in
all of the National Basketball Association.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
They've seem to have gone a little soft over the
last on No.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Seven, eight years since a certain person landing in this
private jet at the Van Hos Airport, as VJ.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Vernon Husky said they would.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
We'll touch on that at almost more also the top
of the hour, guys special NFL. Guess I'm so excited.
It's a surprise for my friend Arnie. I reached out
to this guy specifically for you, my good man. Oh yes,
I'm dead serious. I'm not even joking, no hyperbole. I

Speaker 1 (15:43):
We were just talking about soft players.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I just got a text message from uh from the
homegirl TOSSI who's listening.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
She texts me and asks me, do you consider yourself
a soft man?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And Arenie, I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't
even know how to answer that. I don't I don't
know how to answer that, brother, because I think, like
I'm a girl dad, right, I have daughters, I have
a son. But you know, I I I think I'm
a tough guy. I'm not a weak man. I you know,
I'm tough minded. I'm former military. I was in the Army.
I coup from a drill stars and dad leven Bravo
(16:14):
airborne ranger. My mother was a colonel in the Pentagon.
There's a there's a toughness about me. I'm not but
I you know, I I think I'm gentle. I think
I'm you know, soft when I need to be when
it comes to let's say, like the ladies or my
daughter or something like that. I don't know how to airson, Arny,
are you a soft guy?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I'm soft only because I compare myself to my dad,
And you know, my dad's ra those guys were tough.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You know.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I just, I'll just I won't bore you with the facts.
But when my dad was in the war, he was
a medic. Just think about that. You have no training,
you're oh, it's horrible and no think about this. You
have no medical trip you know is to take two
aspens before you go to bed, and you're out on
the battlefield. H you know, while Bob's are going off
(16:57):
with no training whatsoever. Uh, and people are dying around you,
so that's that's not be hidden soft nowadays?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Were soft compared to guys like that?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Well, yeah, I think we're softer today, just by society,
living standards, just the way the world is built, the
way the world is put together today. Can't say it is,
can't say that, can't do this. Everyone is offended. I
tell people all the time, you can't offend me like
you can't. You can't offend me. You can piss me off,
but you can't really offend me.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Like.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I've been through too much in my life. I've been
called every name on the book.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I've been through everything, and I've come out the back
end of every storm that God's ever put me through.
You can't really offend me. It's always funny to me
when people are like, oh my god, he said that.
I was so offended. I do think we're soft where
people are looking to be upset and looking to be
unhappy other than just enjoying life and enjoying the Ryan
And speaking of soft, Arnie, there was an NBA friends,
(17:53):
I think you agree with me. They used to be
tough man, they were so tough minded. They were showtime
back in the day. It's some tough guys man playing
on I ain't ankles and you know, hurt body parts
and didn't sit out and played and back to back
to backs, and they wanted to play man.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
The season was condensed, you had to play a lot more.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
But now I think they're soft, Bro, And I think
that's because they're stars soft.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I'm being honest.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I think their stars soft, and they made some soft
decisions in my opinion. I'm talking about the Los Angeles Lakers.
And a story came out about Brownie. We know the
whole story about Bronni being drafted fifty fifth overall. By
the way, did you see us Seed? Did you see
the whooping us Seed took last night? And I did, Bro,
did you see that they took taken two whoopings out?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Like that they looked like forty last about like thirty
or forty points or something. It was crazy. But this
used to be a really tough minded franchise. When you
think about Magic and Kareem and then you think about
Shaq and Kobe and and you know even Mitch cup
Check at GM and the owner and doctor Jerry Buzzy,
they just used to be It used to be a
tough team man, and I think ever since Lebron's got there,
(18:55):
this team has gotten weak.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
We don't we don't.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Look at when you think about it, we don't look
at Anthony Davis as a tough We don't look at
Lebron James as a tough guy.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I mean, the god flops when he gets.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Hit by a guard, but he flexes when he gets
an am one, when you slap him on the wrists,
and shows how big and strong he is. But when
you think about what they're doing with Bronni right now, Bronnie,
let me throw this number out there for I don't
know if you've seen this, but I'm gonna throw this
at you right now. Brother, Bronni is ranked number three
hundred in pe R right now in the G League,
out of.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Three hundred and eighty six players.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Bro, that's a soft franchise that has to come to
the powers and the narcissisticness of Lebron James. Draft my son,
give him a guaranteed contract. Doctor Jerry Bust would have
told him, all right, Bro, go shove it somewhere. I'm
not doing that. I'll pay you, I'll take care of you.
But we're not drafting your some fifty either. Just to
make you happy, this man traded Shack to This man
(19:46):
looked at Kobe and said, listen, let me deal with this.
You're not going anywhere. I'm gonna trade Shaquille O'Neill in
the world like shook. Right, what they traded Shack. That's
how tough minded this used to be. Yeah, am I
banging too hard here?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Or do you kind of feel me on this? This
doesn't seem like a Saft franchise. Now, Look, and I
understand your point.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
A lot of people do feel the same way that
it shouldn't have been drafted and it shouldn't be on
the team, that it should be strick in the G league.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
A lot of people feel that he shouldn't even be
in the G League.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
If you look what the numbers he put up, he's
down there or even in the G league on that.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
But you know what about Giannis's brother?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
What about some of the kids that are on college
basketball teams that their fathers are the coach, And there's
happened to be a couple of them out there. I
forgot which one just got slammed dunked on at the
end of the game and looked pretty.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Oh yeah, dude put his son in yes, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
And anyway, he didn't get dunked on.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
And back in my neighborhood, we called that game yamed On.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah yeah, he called he called yams with the.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Now and the guy none of did he get dunked
on and he fell down, right.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I forget who it was it come to be, but no,
I don't. I'm not sure. I think I don't think
it was Gonzaga, but it happened. It just does.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
So this is not a unique situation. It's not the
first time. But that doesn't mean that Lebron's rooting the
franchise or if look what he's done, look at his age.
Jill Cowy's kept himself in shape without any real.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
What do you have to do with the franchise?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Well, why is the franchise soft? I mean they did
win a championship a couple years ago during the COVID
you count the Bubble Championship. I do all championships the same,
whether it's the Bubble non Bubble, they all they all
still get the trophy for it. So I give it
to him. I'm not gonna take that away from him.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
And I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
You can't take a four month break and then go
play twenty one games and call and tell me that
counts as a champion.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I'm not. I never.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It's the same thing with the Dodgers sixty one season.
It's the same thing. Sixty games. There's a dude that
is less. That is more than one hundred games they
didn't play, and you're telling me that that's a championship.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
This is the analogy I use it before I go there.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
At quick sidebar over time, Georgia Georgia Tech. Georgia gets
the ball first, they go score thirty four to twenty seven.
Georgia Tech gets the ball and answers and ties extra point.
Good to Sega. Have a little bit of more of
that coming up in that matter of fact. Speaking of which,
and I'm sorry I jumped the gun there went and
watching the clock. Let's go to our guy to Sega
for some updates in this game and everything else in

of the Lake games Austin Reeves after a hard foul

In the Cayman Islands, the Irish had led with about
five minutes to go, and the Dodgers re signed Tommy
Edmund to a five year tension. He was n LCS MVP.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Back to you, hey, guys, by the way, real quick,
the saga VJ started interrupt. If I had a nickel
for every person that just put this on Twitter. Everybody
blasting Georgia Tech not going for two because they said
next time around, you're gonna have to go for two anyway,
and that's just to tie the game. Everybody said, why
did you go for two to get the win? They
are blasting them all over Twitter.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
And the quarterback for Georgia Tech.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Exactly tell those tables to shut up. That's why they're home.
So Steve, just real fast. You know you.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I don't think you noticed, but I'll tell you. You're
you're You're easily my favorite person to talk running back
with you because you and I talk a lot of
college running back. Whenever we talk about jen Z, do
you think he's got a shot at Barry Sanders his
record because he needed to average one eighty two? I
think it was I saw and today he goes for
to and some change.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
What I hate I talked about with Steve Hartman about
this last weekend on his show that I hate about
college stats, that they're not consistent. That if you go
back to Ron Dayne and before that didn't count the
Bull game.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
No, exactly, what are you kidding me?
Speaker 8 (26:06):
They played the game.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yes, Oh my god, I can't believe you, and I yes,
how do you not.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Count the Bull stats?
Speaker 7 (26:13):
So, you know, I wish somebody would just come up
with a new record book and include all the games
that were actually playing.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Rerite it. Yeah, why not?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
You know people tried and played, you know Ron Daye,
those Rose Bowls? Ye are you telling me those don't count?
That's ridiculous, That's it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Ricky Williams too.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Oh twenty five years ago?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Absolutely so.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I watching him today, it's just like, man, this is
a Dallas. If you're listening, here's your solution right there
to help Dak Prescott on. This kid is amazing.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
I think number of people he was a thousand yard
or fourteen hundred yard rusher so last season exactly.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I think he gets to Steve. I don't see anything
stopping his kid. I think he can grab that and
I hope he does. Arnie, do you think jenz it's
this record is Barry Sanders record?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yes? To average? Is that what it is?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Well? Yes, before but before today and he goes for
to and some change to that. Yeah, I know he
had a great game today. I'm gonna say, yes, he's
feeding him the ball. Now what he got a lot
of carries. He wasn't doing that many carries, so he's
picked that up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I'm just excited. I think the kid is phenomenal. I
love his talent, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Georgia Georgia Tech quick up date. Georgia Tech score king
the quarterback on the keeper, but they don't get the
two point conversion.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Great defensive play.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I hate when teams try to throw a screen and
they don't block the end, because that's the guy that
can leap out with his hand and deflect the ball
with Georgia just did so. Now Georgia, all they have
to do is score and kick the extra point. They
don't have, well, they have to go for two, so
they have to score get the two point conversion, and.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
They await I did wait? I think they went for
two there. They weren't forced to go for two?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
There were they? I thought they do? They have to
go for two in a second over time and a
third overtime. I thought it was the third. I thought
that got changed. Okay, either knows.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
Yeah, I thought you had to and then the third
it's just two point play.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
He's back and forth exactly. Okay, they don't to go
for two.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Here, so they don't have those seven overtime games like
they used to. They really make you go for two
earlier in the ot.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's more reason for me to tell those people on
Twitter to shut up because they just went for two
and they didn't get it and they didn't have to
and Georgia just scored.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
So if they don't get the extra point for the moment,
it's forty to forty winding down the second overtime. If
they don't get the extra point here, the teams would
alternate two point conversion attempts the.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Exactly more drive, there's no more drives, exactly absolutely, this
game's over. They're gonna kick this set. You're gonna kick
the sexual point in Georgia. I mean, it is what
it is. I would have just kicked.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
They have to go for two here, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
They have they have to go for two here. Yeah, okay,
there we go, all right, okay, okay, So that's right.
They moved it. That's what I thought. I thought they
moved it up it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I ain't know if it was the the last three years,
hard the second to the third. So they have to
go for two here. So big moment right here. Uh,
Georgia season on the line as far as trying to
get to the Coas Football playoff. They already have two
losses They are the seventh ranked team and the nation
right now, and I don't think three lost teams could
get in. But sitting at seven, I don't know if
they would fall too far out. Georgia Tech isn't terrible.
(29:06):
They are seven and fourteen right now. But basically, here's
the two point version. Try and we'll see right here
on this play and dropped in complete passed. You know,
the Georgia Tech coach did not know that he had
to go for two. After the last touchdown he had
the one finger. He's like, let's go for one. Let's
go for one. Can we call that? Can we say
(29:28):
he ebra fluced? Can we use that now? After yesterday?
I think we should. I just dubbed it. Hey, Mary,
cut that he here? Let me say it again for you.
Oh my god, he ebra fluced? Okay, cut that right there?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
All right?
Speaker 7 (29:40):
Moving to say after the firing today, people may not
know that name as the years go by.
Speaker 8 (29:45):
How many more chances is he's gonna get as an
NFL head coach?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Good question, great question.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
It's like Brandon Staley. Oh we know him now. A
few years from now, anybody canna remember?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Nobody? No, especially if Harball taste.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
These guys do a champion conference championship game, super Bowl or.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
So you know, Jim Harbo, the team that actually has
a defense this year, Oh god no, I like the
defensive coordinator they hired before him.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
To be absolutely absolutely, they looked like it Monday. But
that is that is.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Two times Baltimore's thirty points a game.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
It's two times MVP. And and you and I were
both at the game. We saw with our with our
own eyes. I love Harball's post games. That one I
got out of kind of fast.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I was there for.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I was I was there for about three minutes, and
I could tell no matter what you asked him, you
were gonna get you know, Uh, I believe in what we.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Got going, and uh, you know, we'll fix it, we'll
move forward it.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Yeah, they gave up the defense, gave up the long
play that pretty much ended it in the fourth. And
I know a Charger people are probably thinking, you know,
six minutes to go if they just don't pick up
the flag on pass interference. We got a first in
goal the right look in the game. It changes everything
for the last five minutes.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
And they picked that flag up and and uh.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
Either way, that was a former defensive back who's an
NFL ref at side judge through the flag a dB,
through the flag on the field on a dB and
then and then the crew huddled and picked up to
fix it up.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Do you like that, Steve when Cruz, Because I think
the genesis is just.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Get the call right, and I feel.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
That that's what overall, regardless of situation scene.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
That's why we like this sky judge.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
How if it's something obvious, they can correct it. It's like,
you know, being a sports history fan, the eighty five
World Series, aren't even remember it looked like the Cardinals
were going to win at Kansas City and a completely
blown call at first base.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Dec or something, Yeah, yep, there you go, or.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
The call it first with the perfect game galarraga.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
I mean, it's just shouldn't happen.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, you're right, you're right, You're absolutely right. They shouldn't happen.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And I'm with you, and I think every call, maybe
a holding, you know, you can let that, you know,
just if its call, if holding, But I think question
pass interference calls. I think the ref should be able
to come together. New York's already watching it. New York's
in the headed head judge's ear. He's in a ED
official's ear already.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And that was Monday.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
There's only one game going.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
On exactly, and Nigga said, hey, hey, guys, you know,
let's pick that up. That's not bad. Let's not ruin
the game. Let's not be the story of the game.
So great stuff. The saga always to coming down to
stretch two, guys. Third overtime, just two point conversions from
now false start penalty just got thrown on Georgia ten.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
To start the overtime.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
To start the overtime, sideline warning, it was oh okay, wow,
Georgia busy celebrating, I guess, and now Kirby Smart's.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Arguing, Oh my goodness, gracious.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Ah man, Now, remember these are only two point plays
back and forth. You just got a defensive penalty Georgia
before Tech attempts. It's one two point play, the play
of the possession.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Yeah, this is either now you could run the ball.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Oh yeah, want this is our po If this is me,
if I'm in coach Vj's head, as I'm a coach,
this is our po. Our I like two reads right here,
RPOI to give it keep it or r PO pull it.
And tight end across the middle. Maybe you bringing a
receiver in motion and you run him out to the
flat right when the ball starts.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Something of that nature. They try to get this in man.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
So I don't know if they have a touch push,
but I'm doing that from one yard out. If I
can get it in, I may have to do something
like that.
Speaker 8 (33:18):
Kelsey the center for this team.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
And a final court.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Does the quarterback squat five hundred pounds like Jalen?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
He's a tough quarterback. He is. He's a guy.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I know he's banged up a little bit, but he's
a pretty tough guy.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
That's why we came.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yeah, yeah, that's why I like it. But it's at
the forties. I'm about to say that there is at
the three?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Is that the three?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
They're not They're not just pushing right here. So there's
the motion guy that I want. And here we go
with another fly. I hate that we got to pay
some bills, guys, but we do great topics. Man, We're
almost through the first two hours of tonight when we
come back.
Speaker 1 (33:49):

Speaker 2 (35:47):
I didn't know that. So Also a quick update on
this game, Arnie, this is wild right forty two forty
two Georgia Tech just scored their two point conversion play.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Now we are going to a six over.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
To in this Georgia, Georgia tech game man, what a
ryvery And we're gonna talk about robbery football coming up
in a few hours. Also to coming up soon, we
are going to have our special guests at the top
of the hour.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
I can't wait for that. I'm super excited. Arnie.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I have a question for you, my good man. As always,
the Dodgers just signed Blake Schnell for one hundred and
eighty million dollars. We know the deals that they've given out, Arnie.
Are we looking at a new evil empire? Because remember
when the Yankees were winning four in a row. People
who if they're buying championships and they're buying which I
(36:36):
never really subscribed to because I'm like, well, they got
some great home talent, guys, they're not buying everything. They
drafted Derek Jeter, right, you know they they they brought
up Andy Pettitt. Yeah, you go get a you know,
a Darryl Strawberry at one point, you go get a
Dwight good Remember Dwight good and had Was it a
no hit or a perfect game that Dwight Gooden had
from mind? I know, you know, off the top of
(36:56):
your head, I'm not sure Okay, oh wow, themn I'm
the man.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
You just set me up. Thought you would the action
about Belvo, You don't, he might. I think he did
have a world or no hitter with that. I know
he had a no hitter.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
I was just wondering if it was a perfect air
was it David Wells that through the perfect kid?
Speaker 1 (37:11):
David Wells had a perfect David well through the perfect game.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
But he you know, remember at that point Dwight Gooden was,
you know, thought to be lost and no one wanted them.
Yankee signed him. He has a no hitter for them,
but people were thinking, no, they're the e WA empire.
They're just buying World Series championships. And now we're seeing
what the Dodgers are doing. Are there Dodgers the new
evil empire of Major League Baseball?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
But first of all, going back to the Yankees since
two thousand, I think they only have was it one
once serios nine, So you know they could spend all
the money they want, they weren't buying themselves championship. And
as you mentioned, how could you fault the Dodgers when
you got the Yankees doing it, you got the Mets
doing it, that's for sure. I mean, you're still here
hearing about Juan Soto and what's gonna happen there. And
(37:53):
by the way, if you did you if you believe
those were rumors about him going to the Red Sox.
I don't believe it yet because that's not even been confirmed.
But no, they're not the evil umpire. They're just doing
what they have to do. If they're the evil umpire,
it's only because they found the way to defer the payments.
And that's what's upsetting everybody. Uh So let's go here.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Do you like that or not.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
I don't like it necessarily, but hey, if you can
find the way to do it, and it's just creative financing,
everybody doesn't. It doesn't even matter the sport they do
it in football, basketball will pay you. Like Aaron Rodgers
got paid very little, He's gonna get paid a boatload
next year.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
It's that's just the way it is.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Look at the Benilla contract or the the you know,
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Bobby, isn't he still getting money from the Mets.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Of course, so it that's gonna go on and on
and on. So it's just we've been dealing with this
for a long time. Nothing's gonna change.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah, I I don't. I tell you this.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
I don't think they are, but I want them to become.
Why Yeah, because, man, we need a We need a
bad guy.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
We need a villain in sports. We need a team
to hate. Are you kidding me? I thrive on teams
that I hate.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
I thrive on my teams that I love, but I
can't stand them bum ass Jets.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
We don't hate the Astros for cheating, not you. We
should just start there.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
I do.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
I think everybody does, though. Are great on our radio.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Our great guy Mallard. I just shook his hand and
talked to him. He sat next to me covering the
charge the other night. I told him, hey man, I
joked him and said, dude, give the Astros a break.
He goes never never like there are people that knocked
the Astros all the time.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
But I think that we do need a team for
everybody to hate.
