Two sports enthusiasts reunite after battling persistent internet provider issues to deliver a passionate, wide-ranging conversation spanning Hollywood, professional golf, and the return of NFL football.
The hosts kick off with a spirited debate about Happy Gilmore 2, questioning whether the long-awaited sequel lived up to expectations. While praising memorable cameos from golf legends like Jack Nicklaus, they wonder if the film relied too heavily on nostalgia rather than crafting a cohesive story. A fascinating behind-the-scenes revelation about Hunter Mahan serving as Adam Sandler's swing double proves to be one of their favorite aspects of the production.
Golf takes center stage as they analyze Cam Young's breakthrough victory at the Wyndham Championship, noting his Wake Forest connections and the emotional farewell to broadcasting legend Ian Baker Finch after three decades behind the microphone. The conversation naturally flows to FedEx Cup playoff implications and upcoming Ryder Cup team selections, with thoughtful speculation about potential player pairings and team dynamics.
The return of NFL football ignites palpable excitement as they dissect the Hall of Fame game performance and discuss Antonio Gates' induction – highlighting his remarkable journey as the only NFL Hall of Famer who never played college football. Their analysis of current NFL contract situations, particularly regarding Terry McLaurin and Micah Parsons requesting trades, reveals deep frustration with franchise management decisions: "Why wouldn't you pay the guy that's been the face of your franchise for five years?"
Whether you're a golf enthusiast, football fan, or movie buff, this episode delivers candid, entertaining commentary from two friends who aren't afraid to share their unfiltered opinions. Subscribe now and join the conversation as football season heats up and the golf playoffs unfold.

And let me tell you, liamNeeson, pamela Anderson, spot on
it.
I it was everything that Ihoped it to be.
It was as good as the originals.
Look, it's a comedy that's overthe top.
(03:22):
So if you know that going intoit and that's what you expect,
then you're in for a good time,and I loved it.
My parents enjoyed it.
Um, it was a.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It was fun had by all dude my favorite part of the I
don't know if it was was nakedgun, and they had like naked gun
two and a half or whatever, Idon't know which one it was from
.
Best scene dude, when home boysin court maybe, and he's taking
(03:51):
a leak and he's got the mic on.
Remember that, yeah, dude best.
And he's like, he's like pissedin and it's like that long piss

It's worth it, totally worth it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, definitely want to go see it.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, other than that , just been dealing with
internet outage issues from Coxin the area.
So that's just been a real painin my ass and the reason why,
folks, if you're wondering whyit's a pain, we're in a day and
age that everything that I haveruns off Wi-Fi.
I have a smart TV.
I don't have a cable box.
So if I can't access theinternet, I can't get on my Hulu
(04:53):
, I can't get on my Netflix, Ican't do anything.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You're done yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yeah, I mean like I have internet on my phone and
it's technically quoteunquoteunlimited, but yo, the big
companies are like, yeah, we'llgive you unlimited, but after a
certain amount of data that youused, they cut it down to a
point where you can only checkyour email.
Yeah, I must flow your roll,bro.
Yeah, so you know, just tryingto find things to do it's.
(05:20):
You know, it's been rough overhere, but you know, had the
technician come out a coupledays ago, gave me some positive
news.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
He was worthless as tits on a boar hog.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
No, well, the problem was it was two separate issues.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
There was the issue of yeah, number one being Cox,
Number two being Cox.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, well, a he did say that out of all the other
major carriers like Verizon,fios and AT&T Fiber, he says
there's a better chance, in thearea that I'm at, that Google
Fiber is going to be here, whichthat would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
After they dig up your whole goddang neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
At this point.
Who gives a shit?
And he's like, yeah, thisshould be soon.
And I'm like, what's yourdefinition of soon?
He's like, yeah, you know likeeight, nine months and I was
like shit.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, it's coming.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, bro, so it was Christmas, I mean, I'd say in
the previous week that weweren't on.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Just the excitement was the buildup for Happy
Gilmore Watched it.
Yeah, I mean, dude, we have totalk about it.
I know it's been out for over aweek now and everybody's given
their opinions on it and thisand that, but the last Friday,
the day it came out, what wasthat?
July 25th?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, so you know, I took my daughter down to East
Carolina for an official collegetour and we're on the way home,
we're so excited to watch it,we stopped to eat dinner, didn't
watch it.
I was off the next day, got upand we were all fired up to
watch it and dude, I'm justgoing to say this Did they have
(07:11):
to make that movie.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Does anyone have to do anything?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
No, but, and I'm not saying it, and this is the thing
, dude the more and more I thinkabout it and I've watched it
twice now.
Okay, and the reason this is sohard is Adam Sandler.
I grew up with him.
Okay, billy Madison is one ofmy favorite movies of all times.
Yeah, all times.
(07:37):
The guy everything he's donehas been genius, right, and it's
hard for me to dog a movie,especially a golf movie.
You know what I mean.
It's something that the worldwas like 30 years later, waiting
(07:57):
for the cameos.
I felt like the movie was moreabout the cameos than anything
Agreed and something I heardlast week on another podcast.
It really clicked with me.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I felt like it was an hour and a half of TikTok clips
.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Am I wrong?
Yes and no, but you also haveto realize.
Do you know how popular TikTokis I?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
do know that, but it's a movie.
If you wanted to do this and doTikTok reels, do it.
On TikTok, I mean, threeminutes into the movie, my
second hot chick over the age of50 takes a golf ball to the
(08:54):
dome and she's gone.
And I'm instantly like are youkidding me?
I don't get to see her for therest of this movie.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Spoiler she.
She is in the rest of the movie.
I mean not a lot, but she'sstill, but still.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I mean come on, my girl Julie Bowen, dude.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I mean I don't disagree, but I mean a lot of it
also comes down to you need tohave the storyline to make it
worth making the movie.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Dude the storyline jumped so fast.
They spent three minutes on mygirl.
What was her name in theoriginal virginia?
Yeah, three minutes on it.
Next thing you know adamsandler's hammer time and liquor
out of every crevice, out ofcucumbers and shit in the
(09:46):
goddamn grocery store.
It's like dude.
But then let's make the last 35, 40 minutes all about the joke
on live tour and maxi bullshit.
I mean the beginning was great.
The the cameos were awesome.
I mean they got Jack Nicklausbro in this movie.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Facts.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
And Jack Nicklaus ordering iced tea and lemonade.
Oh, don't you mean ArnoldPalmer, Mr Nicklaus?
No, I mean iced tea andlemonade.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Great joke, great joke.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I mean Xander Shoffley.
Yeah, that's what she said.
It was great until it wasn't.
I don't know, I hate talkingbad about Adam Sandler, but you
know it is what it is and youknow we're late to the party and
everybody has their opinionsand this and that I mean.
(10:44):
But anybody like we talkedabout anybody expecting a grammy
performance did like you're notunderstanding.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
But that one we could have done without, bro I, I
mean, I still like, I stillenjoyed it.
I just think a lot of of peopleit's two different things.
It's not like we're saying, oh,it's Grammy-worthy or
Oscar-worthy, that's not it.
There's just some of it whereit felt like I don't want to say
(11:19):
over the top, but it's like wedidn't need all the cameos.
You know what I mean.
That was the best part of themovie, yeah, but there's also a
lot of cameos that if you didn'tknow who they were, you
wouldn't know who they areanyway, type of a thing.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
AKA Reggie Bush.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Well, yeah, that didn't need to be there, but I'm
just saying, like, benStiller's kids were in it and if
you didn't know you didn't knowyou kids were in it and if you
didn't know you didn't know youhad to look it up.
You know, the guy that playedthe founder of the maxi tour,
that was one of adam sandler'sold uh directors from uh, the
something gems that I can'tthink of the word of right now,
and he was awful, he's adirector.
(11:58):
This is.
You keep saying oh, this isawful, we're talking about a
stupid movie.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I'm not disagreeing with you.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And the thing is it's going to be completely
different than what the originalwas.
And just remember, the originalwas also out there for its time
.
You know what I mean?
It was completely ridiculouswhen it came out.
So it's just like, with howeverything is now like, to be
honest, I thought this.
I mean, what was more over thetop was just like his kids
(12:30):
always doing the stupid, likejack off stuff like that.
Okay, yeah, it's funny here orthere, but it's just like.
I think each person thinksdifferent things were stupid for
different reasons and areremakes needed?
No, but it's just like there'scertain ones that it's just like
if it could happen, this wouldbe a movie that could be remade.
And look, all the people thattalked about it prior from it
(12:54):
coming out said oh yeah, it's apretty good movie.
Why is everyone now changingtheir tune and being like oh?
They're saying oh, it's like.
I feel like everyone is justbeing too critical.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
To be perfectly honest, they're saying, oh it's
like I feel like everyone isjust being too critical.
To be perfectly honest, it'sjust like everyone's 100.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
They got to put their opinion on something that, to
be honest, doesn't fuckingmatter like it doesn't it's like
they want it to be a certainway.
It didn't come out their wayand now it's like, for example,
how, if anyone hates live,they're not gonna love this
stuff I mean that was prettyfunny.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I mean, first thing I thought when I'm watching it is
this has got to be a shot atlive I mean, is it who knows?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
probably, but it's just like like the only gripe
for me about the movie was justthat last hole, like that was
just kind of stupid for me, likethey could have done it in a
different way, and it wasn'tstupid for the maxi guys to get
their hamstrings cut or whateverso they could turn and hit it
(13:52):
600 yards how else would therebe other competition without
taking a direct shot at the pgatour and saying we're going to
take your players?
I mean, you're.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I don't know all I could think about when he said
that was Caddyshack.
When you got Carl hanging outwith Chevy Chase and he goes you
know how you take care of JudgeMills you cut him in the back.
He'll never be able to turn itover again.
Everything will be way right,way right.
That's all I can think about.
That's it.
That's all I can think about.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, I can think about yeah, like that part
didn't bother me at all, it'sjust, it was just like that last
final hole.
And then it's just like.
It just seemed like when you'rewatching the movie, every big
detail that the fans liked aboutthe first movie they had to
remake in some version of thenew movie.
You know, and the Bob Barkerlike the heckler thing, like
(14:46):
it's just like everything wassomething to be redone and it's
just like I feel like a lot ofpeople weren't expecting that.
And then, when they saw that,they're just like oh, I mean,
when I watched it from start tofinish, I laughed my ass off the
whole time, like all this hatewhen you just let it sit and
resonate into thinking about it.
It was just like all this andall that and you're just like
okay, yeah, you can stew on that, but, like in the moment, while
(15:07):
I was watching it, I had agreat time.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
There were.
There were three things that Iloved about this movie.
Three things, okay, number onecaught me off guard.
Totally loved it.
Totally was excited that theydid it, and that was Willie Z
zalatorre.
Yeah, when zalatorre popped onthe scene, everybody was calling
(15:30):
him what happy's caddy yeah andthen for them to play that into
it for sure awesome, awesome,loved it.
Scotty scheffler obviously.
Oh, no, oh, no, not again.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You know, with the cops.
So I actually listened to apodcast with Adam Sandler on it,
and they were talking aboutthis situation and they weren't
going to say anything to Scotty.
They just gave him his linesand if he complained about it
they had a backup plan ready togo you know, if he didn't want
(16:07):
to.
You know, make fun of himselfand this and that.
And adam sandler was like henever said a word and I was like
that's why I love the guy evenmore yeah, he gets it yeah, when
he's in jail and he's like turnthe golf on it, it was awesome.
It was awesome, I mean totallycool, loved it.
(16:28):
And then my favorite part ofthe entire movie, we didn't even
know about until the day after,and that's Hunter Mahan being
the double for Adam Sandler.
Yeah, that was amazing to me,adam Sandler, yeah, that was
amazing to me.
And the reason anybodylistening Hunter Mahan won on
(16:50):
the PGA Tour had the worst chilidip ever in the history of the
Ryder Cup Well, in the 18th hole.
But you know, whateverWorld-class player, he doesn't
play anymore.
Right, he's a coach of a highschool golf team.
Wow.
He gets a call from a highschool golf team Wow, he gets a
call from Adam Sandler's agentsaying hey, we're thinking about
(17:11):
flying you in to do an audition.
My guy is taking his team tothe state championships.
And that same week he calledhis AD, called his assistant
coach, tells them the situation.
Of course, hunter Mahan takesthe team to where they have to
(17:31):
go and then immediately flies toNew Jersey or wherever they
were filming it.
He's there for four days doingswings, doing this, doing that,
and Adam Sandler's like allright, we'll call you tomorrow
morning, on Friday, to let youknow if you got the job or not.
Obviously he gets the job andhe asked the producers and
(17:52):
everything like a month beforeit was released.
Am I allowed to say anything onInstagram or this or that?
They're like no, you can't saya word.
The only people that knewHunter Mahan was the swing
double we'll call him stuntperson was his high school team,
his athletic director and theirparents.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That's crazy.
And never got out dude Kudos tothem.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Sick, sick, yeah, I mean I don't know.
They all had to obviously sign.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Oh, for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
But how sick is that?
You're a high school player andguess what?
My high school coach is fuckingAdam Sandler.
We'll call it stunt double.
Yeah, I mean, he said it wasawesome.
He goes whenever we were on thegolf course.
I was there.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
That's pretty slick.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, pretty awesome dude, he goes.
When they said it, he goes.
I was like stoked.
Remember, when they're on thedriving range at the little
double-decker driving range andhe's hitting shots.
I forget the comedian that's upthere hitting John Lovett.
Yeah, mahan said that was anentire day for a three-minute
(19:03):
scene.
He goes entire day.
Speaker 3 (19:08):

That came out the same weekendas um, the south park movie.
Wow, and the craziest partabout that was because where I
grew up was a smaller town sothere was the one major
multiplex theater.
They had cops there checkingtickets going into the theater
(23:17):
because you could still acquiretickets from your parents or
whoever, but they had copsoutside of where you would go
into the actual theater justdouble checking IDs to the
tickets because that was anR-rated movie.
But yet I still and mind you, Iwas 17 at the time, I think 17
or 16 when that came out.
(23:37):
They had cops outside of thatmovie but there was no cops for
Any Given Sunday.
And there's a few scenes in AnyGiven Sunday that if you don't
remember they were, let's justsay they were more than rated R.

I wish I could have seen my face when I'm world fed
up.

I wish I could have seen myface when Homeworld said that.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I'm like what the I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
The best part is.
So over the years they've hadthe spinoffs of them, but then,
you know, with other characters.
But then they have made a two,three and a four.
I'd say in a couple years theycould do a five, where now Jim
is the father and his kids thatage and with the I mean like it,
it could happen, I wouldn'tDoes.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Stifler's mom go from a milf to a gilf.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Oh, well, I mean, if Jim's that old, I mean Stifler's
mom would be in her eighties,so I mean that would be a hell
of a storyline.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You.
I mean that would be a hell ofa storyline.
You can call her up.
You can call her up G-G-Elf.
I mean just saying this is whythis podcast is great.
I'm looking at the notes and Idon't even want to talk about it
, because I could talk aboutmovies right now.
But whatever is what it is, Imean one of my favorite all time
movies since you threw outAmerican pie.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Comedies you know not yeah, you know what I'm saying
Wedding crashers.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Oh, bro, I'm going to say is this I saw that movie
for the first time in thetheater with my, with my mother.
Oh, oh god, that was not funthere's only two movies in my
lifetime that I've pissed myselfat the theater.
(26:55):
The first one was home alonewhen I was a kid, and then the
second one was writing crashers.
There are too many scenes thatI I just I couldn't hold it bro,
like.
And also there are too manyscenes that I just I couldn't
hold it bro.
And also there was a couple ofscenes that were just so fucking
awkward that I'm just like, ohmy God, but I can't stop
laughing.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Dude, that's not one I want to watch with my mom, no,
ma the meatloaf.
And everybody forgets, willFerrell was even in that movie,
that small little role he had.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Classic Right.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Classic.
We got a stage five cleaner.
Anyhow, let's jump into somegolf real quick.
I mean, we could just keepgoing.
I mean one of my favorites dudeI mean, come on.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
The dinner table scene at the guys at the
governor.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Oh God, by the mom, right, wasn't it the mom?
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah, you think you have problems.
I'm sitting over here gettingjacked up under the table.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Love it, love it, love it.
So, anyhow, let's fast forwardreal quick because it's getting
later by the second PGA Tourfinal event for the regular
season.
Okay, the Wyndham Championship.
A lot of shit on the lineGetting in the playoffs, top 70.
(28:29):
You and I made a lot of betsand thought about a lot of
things.
This dude's going to play wellbecause he's on the verge of 71
in FedEx Cup standings.
This and that Dude and I knowit's easy to say now because
homeboy won by six or whateverit was Cam Young, okay, gets his
(28:54):
first dub.
Okay, yeah, first win, numberone.
I can't believe that was hisfirst win.
But then I'm looking and he'sgot like seven runner-up
finishes.
But something I'm thinkingabout today on the way to work
that I never even thought abouthe came in, he was in the last
(29:14):
group last year when Aaron Ryewon, and then he's from New York
but he plays college golf atWake Forest, right around the
corner.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
And he always lights the place up.
In fact, if you like, lightingthe place up.
The second round last year andthe second round this year, it
was either.
He shot 62 or 63 in the secondround last year and this year.
I mean lit it up At one pointon the back nine.
(29:50):
Yesterday he had a nine-shotlead.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Starts the final round with the bogey on the
first hole and he's like, yeah,everybody relax, I'm just going
to make five birds in a row.
I mean, if it wasn't for thelast you know event of the
regular season and all theFedExCup points going up and
going down, that would have beena snooze fest, good night
turning the channel, going to gowatch my Mets get drummed Right
(30:18):
.
But the drama of everything waspretty amazing.
The drama of everything waspretty amazing.
I mean Davis Thompson startsthe week out at 73 or something
like that, birdie's like 15,makes a bomb from across the
country to make Birdie and itmoves him to like 68, and he's
(30:39):
inside the top 70, and thenthree putts the 72nd hole to
finish 72.
That's brutal.
Yeah, gary woodland, you know,sitting there, same thing, the
whole world's pulling for thedude brain surgery and all that
shit.
You know, I mean it's tough,it's golf.
(31:03):
You, our boy, got in the top 70, finished 63rd on the way to
Memphis.
He's got to play his dick offthis week in Memphis to get in
the top 50 to go to Baltimore,to Caves Valley.
I mean you want to talk abouttop 50?
Top 50 is a pretty big deal Ifyou make it to Baltimore at
(31:26):
Caves Valley you're in all thesignature events next year.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Come on, rick, let's fucking go.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
We need a week to peak baby.
We need a week.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I like that.
We need a week to peak yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
But the coolest thing I I mean about the golf
tournament, obviously homeboygetting his first win and baker
finch calls it a career dude 30years broadcasting golf
tournaments and not I put in thenotes 30 years with cvs.
It was not 30 years with cvs,he was somewhere else first, but
I think the last 14 years waswith CBS.
(32:05):
The send-off they gave him onCBS was pretty amazing.
You know they were showingpictures.
Before they were showing videosof everybody, but then him and
you know Jim Nance and Immelman,who else was up there, I don't
(32:25):
know they start showing babypictures of Finch.
It was awesome, dude.
I mean 30 years we've beenbroadcasting tournaments.
I mean you were 12, bro.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I was 17.
That's all I remember he youknow 17.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
That's all I remember .
Speaker 2 (32:46):
He.
You know, the coolest thingabout Ian Baker Finch that I
like and that I loved about himis he would talk about what
you're seeing on TV from playersthat are ridiculously good and
what they're doing and how theycould help your golf game.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Always yeah, he, yeah , he always did, and that was
amazing to me.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I've met Ian Baker fans.
He, we when I was caddying atmy old club in New York.
He came out for some event andI actually was in the group that
was caddying with him.
So you know, I spent a lot oftime with him that day and it
was a really nice guy.
I mean with him.
So you know, I spent a lot oftime with him that day and it
was a really nice guy, I mean.
What I was gonna say was I didenjoy his commentary but like
(33:29):
there's, there's just somethingabout him that he was just like
so subtly smooth that it's likewhen you're listening to him
it's like it almost puts you tosleep, but then it like it
doesn't.
You know what I mean.
It's like you're listening tohim and you're just it.
It it's I mean I guess that's agood thing, because it's just
like he's there, but he's nottype of a thing you know, and
(33:54):
it's just look, when people havetheir favorite commentators,
that's all who they want tolisten to.
So yeah you gotta love jimnance.
He's the goat in all sports,but it's just like, especially
with the golf, and look, I'llgive him credit People do get
better over time.
Trevor Immelman has definitelystepped his game up over the
last X amount of years.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
And for him to be his number two.
I was just getting ready to sayyou ain't wrong.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
For Trevor Immelman to skip playing in the masters
as a past champion.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
That says a lot.
He's like I can.
He's like I'll just call amember.
I'll go out if I want to.
He's like I'd rather just dothe coverage.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
You're allowed to play whenever you want as a past
champion.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I thought you still have to get.
I thought you still have to get.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I thought you still have to go to the river, though.
No, yeah, but it was awesome,dude.
I mean Colt Nose talking abouthim.
You know the bald guys on thebench, hot chick of the forever,
ballyona's talking about him.
It was just, it was cool.
I mean I mean Tiger Woodstweeted about it.
(35:04):
Cool.
I mean Tiger Woods tweetedabout it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I mean, if T-Dub says something, he's Huh.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, I mean.
Anyhow, we're off to the FedExCup playoffs in Memphis this
week.
You know, hopefully thetemperature and weather that we
got here in Southeast Virginiais the same as they're getting
in Memphis, because it'sabsolutely phenomenal right now.
(35:38):
But Rory ain't playing whatDoesn't sound like Scott, he's
playing Dude.
They ain't got to play.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Remember last year Rory finished DFL in Memphis,
dropped a spot, I mean Scottie'sone, rory's two, except
Stocker's three.
Stocker could win and he'sstill behind.
They ain't dropping.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Well, with how they changed the outcome of not
outcome, but how they changedthe season.
Yeah, the format, the formatfor the tour championship, I
mean, yeah, I mean, I get it.
They don't need to be there.
And look, it is the quotePlayoff, so they're still going
to have the viewership.
They don't need the top twoguys there.
(36:30):
I don't know, it's one of thosethings.
You would think that you justwant to keep the ball Rolling as
a player and not take the timeoff, but you know.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
When you're the Scotty, could not play in the
BMWmw in baltimore and still bewanting to at the door.
Granted, granted, they're notgoing to.
But you know, speaking of thebmw caves valley in baltimore,
this place is supposed to beridiculous.
(37:01):
Yeah, they had to bmw there,they had to bm, they had to BMW
there years.
I don't know, I forget who wonit there, but place is sick,
super high end club Crazy thing.
One of my members at my club,her brothers, the head pro there

But anyhow, rick R squared,what'd I say?
It's the week to peak.
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go.
I mean, let's get this shitdone.
Yeah, I mean on a side note, Iknow you're going to hate what
(37:47):
I'm about to say, but I'm gonnasay it anyway.
Brian Harmon, top 20 bet.
I haven't even looked at it,it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
I don't know if I should take that with a grain of
salt.
After your your picks last week, I mean you're pretty fucking
confident.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I was.
I did research, but obviouslynot enough.
Cam Young played golf at WakeForest Anyhow, and you know how
much I don't like and you knowhow much I don't like Brian
Harmon, I know.
Dude Ryder Cup.
How crazy is this Ryder Cupselection going to be?
(38:25):
I don't know, dude, ryder Cup.
How crazy is this Ryder Cupselection going to be?
I don't know.
I mean, the first seven instandings are done, it's done.
I mean Scotty.
Scotty Shoffley, jj Spahn,russell Henley I'm just thinking
on top of my Bryson JT seventh.
(38:49):
Who's sixth?
Xander?
Xander's three.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Dude.
So there's your seven right.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Does Morikawa deserve a spot on this team?
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Not how he's been playing.
No.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I mean, ben Griffin got her up, Novak, mavik, renele
, and now you can't throw allthese rookies on this team.
Dude Can't leave out of thestandings Now you throw Cam
Young out there.
(39:29):
He's one of the longest playersout there.
Harris English is going to beon the team, brian Harmon.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Tough choices.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Dude.
And then you look at theEuropean squad they're going to
run it back.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Dude, what they did in Rome yeah, and is this the
first year that the opposingwins on the home court?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
it's gonna be tough, bro, I mean.
Here's the question, though,and you know, all these picks
that keegan and the assistantcaptains are going to make
coming up are going to be basedoff of pairings, right?
Who's going to play with who?
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Right.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
In the four ball and then in the alternate shot.
Who in the hell are you goingto pair with Bryson?
Because you know Bryson's goingto come out with energy and you
know how he is.
You got to talk to him.
Oh sorry.
And you know Keson's going tocome out with energy and you
know how he is.
You got to talk to him.
Oh sorry, and you know Keegan'splaying.
(40:39):
Yeah, keegan's going to play,he better.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Yeah, at this point he has to, If we want to win he
has to play At this point forsure.
I mean because those captainpicks.
There's a couple of guys,there's going to be three people
that have not even been on thewriter.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
That's the thing, dude.
Everybody knows Shoffley andCantley pair together the last
time writer club Sam Burns andScheffler.
Well now, henley and Schefflerdominated the president's club
Sam Burns, unless he finishesgreat in the playoffs.
Justin Thomas, you pair withJustin Thomas Deegan.
(41:20):
I don't know, it's tough, it'sgoing to be tough.
I mean, dude, look at theEuropean squad.
Dude, rom Rory Fleetwood, ludLuda Ludwig.
(41:42):
I mean Sepp Straka.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
I mean I'm looking on the website right now.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
They're running it back, dude, the Europeans.
I mean, I'd take PatrickCantley right now over morakawa.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Well, I mean he's in the whole captain's pick area so
I mean he would not.
Yeah, like I mean looking downcantley's in 14 spot cam young
with that win moved up to 15.
I like that.
Sam Burns, wyndham Clark.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Wyndham Clark can go break a locker, I know.
But Sam Burns, dude, one of thebest putters out there, yeah, I
mean, how good would JJ Spahnand Bryson be together?
Wow, two California kids.
I like that, I like that, Ilike that.
(42:41):
Then he threw out there harrisenglish, brian harman, two
georgia bulldogs.
Teammates got her up, dude, Imean from new jersey.
Cam young from new york, camYoung from New York, I don't
know, we could keep going on andon.
This became a movie episode,but whatever I know.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
I mean I'm looking at some of the other players it's
just like that are lower down onthe list.
I'm just like.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Dude.
If Morikawa makes this teamdude, I mean my guy's firing
caddies, my guy's switchingputters.
He's trying to play golf.
Oh, I'm not going to wear aglove with my long irons, but
I'm going to wear a glove withmy short irons.
I'm sorry, what, what?
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Right, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
There's going to be some fresh faces and it's going
to be a lot of hope and praying.
I'll tell you that, dude.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Ben Griffin.
A lot of heart attacks.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
He needs to be on this team Got her up.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
I agree, I don't know Anyhow, dude, all the fame game
last Thursday, right, your boywasn't really fired up, even
though your boy's team was in it.
Until you know, hall of fame,you know whatever.
And, dude, then my bolts cameout looking like they wanted to
(44:04):
be there.
You know most teams that playthe hall of fame game were like,
eh, I don't want to be here.
And we dominated the entiregame.
We finally have a squad that'sdeep.
Yeah, at a lot of positions.
I mean from the opening kickoffwe kick off with them.
They fumble.
You know, obviously we knewstarters weren't going to play.
(44:28):
Our boss said all the rookswere going to play.
You know we got to see Omariand Hampton.
Two runs for nine yards.
Cool with it.
Get your ass on the sidelines.
Peace out, cub Scout.
But, dude, coolest thing for me.
You know I've been talkingabout this dude forever and for
some reason I mean you don't.
When I say KLS, you don't knowwho it is.
(44:51):
Hometown guy here from VirginiaWent to Christmas High School,
nephew of Cam, chancellorFastest 40 time in the combine.
All I keep hearing is homeboyskilling camp, killing camp,
killing camp and like you and Ialways say that's great, it's
camp.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
It's not a real situation.
Right.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Well, he dominated, had a tutty Fucking tutty.
He had good, god almighty.
But something that worries me alittle bit trey lance looked
good yeah and you know how oldtrey.
Speaker 3 (45:29):
He's young.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Not very.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Yeah, what 26 maybe 25, I think.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Oh Jesus.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Yeah, he looked good, you know.
Yeah, good enough to startStart what?
The Hall of Fame game, the Hallof Fame game no week one bro.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
But I'm worried about my boy, taylor, but it is what
it is.
I ain't really worried abouthim because he's got 18 mil on
the bank.
I was stoked watching the guysplay A lot of guys fighting for
roster spots but you know, thereal highlight of the weekend
for myself was Gates Got signedin first ballot and that was the
(46:28):
biggest douchebag thing ever.
He's the only player in the NFLHall of Fame that never played
a snap in college football.
That's insane, never.
And today I'm listening to theChargers weekly podcast and this
story.
(46:48):
I had no idea.
Gates played, obviously, highschool basketball, high school
football, yeah, and he hadverbally committed to go to
michigan state.
We all know the basketballcoach at michigan state, tom iso
.
Yeah, and the football coach atthat time for michigan state
was none other than nick sabanand he was going to go there and
(47:14):
both coaches told him you canplay both sports.
Basketball was Gates' dream andyou can play both sports and
they wouldn't bitch if he gothurt on football or basketball.
Well, saban came back, or Izzocame back and said something
(47:35):
about if you get hurt infootball, you're done with
football, and Gates was like nochance, stopped, went to a
community college.
Then went to Kent State.
His junior year made it to theElite Eight.
Went in the NBA draft never gotdrafted.
That was his dream to go to theElite Eight.
(47:55):
Went in the NBA draft never gotdrafted.
That was his dream.
To go to the NBA.
Chargers take him as anundrafted free agent.
You know what they pay Gates tocome to camp and be, an
undrafted free agent.
A couple hundred bucks, two Gshow wild is that.
Speaker 3 (48:13):
It ain't nothing, but I mean.
I mean, look, it adds to theallure of what his career ended
up becoming.
And for him to go in.
You know, did he went in withGonzalez this year, Right, or
did?
Was I mixed up on that?
No, that's what I thought.
(48:34):
I saw something online.
They made it sound like I'mlike that was.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
But I mean, there's players that have played
basketball and football incollege.
You know Julius Peppers, tonyGonzalez, but not ever playing a
snap.
Speaker 3 (48:50):
That's crazy.
I mean, look well-deserved Hallof Famer.
I mean his little tribute toPhillip Rivers was nice.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
Fun fact, though I said it to you the other day,
he's up for it.
Fun fact who threw AntonioGates his first ever touchdown
pass in the NFL?
Obviously, I know.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
I know what the answer is now.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
But how crazy is that .
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Good old 40-year-old short man, doug Flutie, let's go
Insane.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Right Flutie Flakes baby.
Speaker 3 (49:34):
Yeah, my first guess was Drew Brees breeze.
But when you said no, that'swhat.
That's what I thought too thereyeah and I was like oh yeah, he
was there for that time.
That makes, crazy but I mean,look, I'll say this, the hall of
fame game.
It was almost surreal to watchbecause you know football not
being around for however manymonths now, it's just like dude,
(49:56):
all the hype, even for me justwatching training you know, for
my team and even stuff withyours, it's just like the juices
are flowing, we're superexcited, and to see it on TV,
you're like, it's like youalmost forgot about it.
You know what I mean.
It's just like it was to thatpoint where it was like oh my
god, it's back.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
The crazy thing.
They asked my boy from VirginiaKLS what was Harbaugh's speech
before the game.
Why did you guys come out sofired up and Harbaugh goes?
He said, guys, this is anationally televised game.
(50:35):
More people will watch thisgame than any game in the NBA
Finals or any game in MajorLeague Baseball World Series.
And the numbers came out.
You weren't wrong.
Speaker 3 (50:50):
Well yeah, it's the first game of the year.
Everyone's just itching.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
Dude any NFL game.
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Yeah, dude, they could have played the Jags
versus the Saints as the firstgame that would have had the
same numbers.
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (51:05):
But you know real quick, before we get into any
other thing NFL rumor on thestreet is Keenan's going to sign
with the Chargers in the nextcouple days.
Looks like it.
I saw this earlier today and Ihad to screenshot it because I
wanted to bring it up.
How about this?
Dude?
You ready?
(51:26):
You want to talk about theChargers taking the Bears to the
woodshed?
Full trade return for the Bearsif Keenan Allen signs with the
Chargers.
We got Ladd, mcconkie andTarheib.
Still, we acquired a fourthround pick overall from the
(51:46):
Bears in exchange for Allen.
They went and used the samepick as part of the deal that
allowed the Chargers to trade upwith the Patriots to get Ladd.
Now we're going to get him back.
Hey, bears, have fun with pinkfingernailed Caleb Williams that
has to have training camp.
Go half speed so my guy can seereceiver routes.
Speaker 3 (52:09):
Do you play the Bears this year?
No, Huh.
Speaker 2 (52:13):
Huh what.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
No, we play the Vikings this year.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
No, oh, oh, what no?
We play the Vikings.
I think you.
Speaker 1 (52:18):
Oh, I thought you do yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
Not saying the Bears didn't make great changes in the
offseason, but Dude andremember, that night we had the
emergency podcast.
Speaker 1 (52:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
And I sang Boyz II Men.
Boyz II Men, I mean anyhowScary.
Terry and Parsons both askedfor a trade washington.
(52:57):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (53:01):
yo, I'm just gonna say this.
I was listening to nfl, right,or I'm sorry.
I was listening on siriusXM,the fantasy channel, and one of
the main guys that I listened to.
He said something very poignantto me.
Well, not to me specifically,but to the listeners.
(53:21):
He's like guys, this is allfodder for people like us you
and I and other outlets to justsquawk on talk about what could
or could not happen and all thebullshit around it.
On talk about what could orcould not happen and all the
bullshit around it.
There's no way both or any ofthe individuals and the
organizations are going to letthis happen.
They're too important to theorganizations.
(53:44):
This is just something where anagent hits up Schefter and was
just like hey, why don't you putthis out there?
Stir the pot a little bit, helpus out and by us I mean the
player and the agent Build us upa little bit, put some shit out
there, you know, make somewhite noise and see what happens
(54:05):
.
And that's exactly what it'sgoing to do in both instances.
Look, terry McLaurin yes, is he30 years old for a wide
receiver on the more tail end ofhis career Technically, but
five 1,000-yard seasons in a rowthe basically face of your
franchise, someone who is thenumber one look-to from Jaden
(54:32):
Daniels, who's going to be asophomore quarterback in the NFL
who, by the way, led you to theNFC Championship.
You're going to take away a guythat scored you 13 touchdowns
last year.
Yeah, you got Debo and a coupleother pieces.
What are you doing?
You got money to spend.
Why wouldn't you spend it on aguy and you're just like, oh
(54:53):
well, he's already making this,but he's asking for this.
Look, certain players willoutperform their contracts and
deserve more money.
And, look, you have it.
He deserves it.
Do right by the guy.
Like you'll be so happy to payJaden Daniels, you'll be so
happy to pay other people.
(55:14):
Why won't you pay the guythat's been the face of your
franchise for the last fiveyears, based off the
quarterbacks that he had toreceive the catches from and
never bitched, never moaned andnever bitched the whole time?
Like, this extension is goingto be the last one you're going
to give him.
Let him get a little bread.
Speaker 2 (55:32):
And you still got a quarterback on a rookie deal.
Speaker 3 (55:37):
On a rookie deal?
Yeah, unless you're KylerMurray and then, after three
years, saying, oh, you got topay me or I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
But you get Debo to help Terry.
Debo is not scary, terry.
Two completely different widereceivers but now you're opening
up the field because you gotboth of them.
Like you said, 13 bomb, 13tutties last year.
Speaker 3 (56:03):
Which is up from his previous years.
But I'm just saying.
And then the whole MicahParsons situation.
Look, folks, unless you're adiehard Cowboys fan and I mean
even if you are you can't Idon't want to say this politely
you can't not agree that JerryJones has been fucking up deals
for how many years now?
Speaker 2 (56:25):
What did he pay Zeke?
Speaker 3 (56:27):
Well, here's my point he's waited to get the last
drop out of every player beforehe decided to pay him.
When you don't pay playersearly and look, pittsburgh
should have paid TJ last year, Iget it Now they got to pay him
this amount when you wait to paysomeone and his value goes up,
you have to spend more money.
They overpaid on Zeke, didn'thave to.
(56:50):
They overpaid on Dak theydidn't have to.
They overpaid on Ceepaid on Dak, they didn't have to.
They overpaid on CD lamb theydidn't have to.
And now they're in a spot wherethe defensive end pass rusher
is the second most importantposition behind I mean you could
say it's one a, one B to theleft tackle and then, obviously,
quarterback being number one.
You have Micah Parsons, who'stop three between TJ and Garrett
(57:15):
Wilson, and he's 26 years old.
Garrett Wilson, na widereceiver.
Sorry, garrett, sorry, sorry.
That's not what I meant to say.
Speaker 1 (57:23):
I don't smack myself.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
Miles Garrett he's number three and the dude's 26.
The two guys that I mentionedboth got paid and they're in
their 30s.
So, oh, you didn't want to payhim last year because he was
hurt for five games and was thatinjury, you think, going to be
career ending?
No, like all these issues areon you, jerry Jones, like this
(57:52):
is all on you, so with him, likehe's going to camp, he's not
participating, and I mean reallythe ball's in his court.
Yeah, he forced it, like he'slike.
Oh, you know, I'm gonna ask himfor a trade.
They'll get a king's ransom ifthat's what they actually want
to do.
But why would you want to dosomething that's going to hurt
your team If you lose MicahParsons?
(58:14):
There's no, you have no chancein the NFC.
Speaker 2 (58:20):
Like I told you the other day, the Raiders traded
Khalil Mack to the Bears for twofirsts.
Speaker 3 (58:27):
Yeah, but the Raiders weren't in the Cowboys'
position.
Speaker 2 (58:32):
What position is that ?
Finishing third in theirdivision?
Speaker 3 (58:38):
You know what I'm trying to say.
Look, they make the playoffs.
They're just like Pittsburgh.
They make the playoffs in firstround exit.
Are they going to make theplayoffs this year?
Is Micah Parsons on the team?
Speaker 2 (58:50):
If I said yes, are they going to make the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (58:52):
Yes, Obviously barring health.
Yeah, of course Cowboys makethe.
Of course I mean look, the NFCEast could have three teams
again, or could have three teamsthis year.
Speaker 2 (59:06):
Yeah, I just don't understand the Washington thing.
Dude, ride the momentum.
You got Scary Terry.
You made a run.
You boat raced the team withthe best record in the
divisional round last year toadvance to the NFC Championship
game.
You got boat raced by theEagles.
What are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (59:27):
And he's only asking for like seven million more a
year.
Speaker 1 (59:31):
What are?
Speaker 3 (59:31):
you thinking Crying over spilled milk is what it
sounds like?
Speaker 2 (59:37):
On a side note, you want to hear some humor, let's
do it.
I mean, sorry, got to throwthis shot at Browns fans.
Someone should do a study onhow the Browns went from Baker
Mayfield to a quarterback roomof Dylan Gabriel, Kenny Pickett,
Joe Flacco, Shador Sanders andTyler Huntley.
Speaker 3 (59:56):
Yeah, but the better story is how Baker transformed
into what he is now.
Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
No one thought when he left Cleveland he was going
to be what he was Remember hewent to the Panthers I didn't
and then he started thatThursday night game for the Rams
and got the dub.
Yeah well, that game made hiscareer Like two days of learning
the playbook, and then hestarted that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Thursday night game for the Rams and got the dub.
Yeah Well, that game made hiscareer.
Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Like two days of learning the playbook.
Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Yeah, yeah, that got him the end of Tampa.
And they were like, hey, let'sfigure this out.
Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
I mean same as Taylor dude, the playoff game against
the Bucs, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Matt Flynn One game 18-0.
Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
Was sleeping on my sister's couch.
Yeah, Matt Flynn.
One game 18 mil.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
All right Parker was playing.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I mean, come on now, you can't make it up.
Anyhow, it's Monday night.
We've had a lot of IT issuesthe last week since our last
show, but here we are.
Fedex playoffs are upon us.
Happy Gilmore has come and goneand before we even get into
(02:46):
that, graham, you know, like wealways do Weekend, I mean I know
we grabbed it and cracked it.
How was your weekend?
What'd you do?
I mean, how many movies did yousee?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Uh, how many have I seen?
Uh, one, that's only one'scoming to the top of my head
right now, and that was theremake of the naked gun.
And let me tell you, liamNeeson, pamela Anderson, spot on
it.
I it was everything that Ihoped it to be.
It was as good as the originals.
Look, it's a comedy that's overthe top.
(03:22):
So if you know that going intoit and that's what you expect,
then you're in for a good time,and I loved it.
My parents enjoyed it.
Um, it was a.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It was fun had by all dude my favorite part of the I
don't know if it was was nakedgun, and they had like naked gun
two and a half or whatever, Idon't know which one it was from
.
Best scene dude, when home boysin court maybe, and he's taking
(03:51):
a leak and he's got the mic on.
Remember that, yeah, dude best.
And he's like, he's like pissedin and it's like that long piss
, like when you're at a footballgame and you've had a bunch of
beers and you're like, oh, Ican't wait.
And then he's like uh, uh andhe's like dribbling, you know
(04:13):
old man pee style, andeverybody's hearing it and then
he farts.
Great scene classic.
But I want to go see it, it'sworth it totally worth it.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
yeah, definitely want to go see it.
It's worth it, totally worth it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, definitely want to go see it.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, other than that , just been dealing with
internet outage issues from Coxin the area.
So that's just been a real painin my ass and the reason why,
folks, if you're wondering whyit's a pain, we're in a day and
age that everything that I haveruns off Wi-Fi.
I have a smart TV.
I don't have a cable box.
So if I can't access theinternet, I can't get on my Hulu
(04:53):
, I can't get on my Netflix, Ican't do anything.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You're done yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yeah, I mean like I have internet on my phone and
it's technically quoteunquoteunlimited, but yo, the big
companies are like, yeah, we'llgive you unlimited, but after a
certain amount of data that youused, they cut it down to a
point where you can only checkyour email.
Yeah, I must flow your roll,bro.
Yeah, so you know, just tryingto find things to do it's.
(05:20):
You know, it's been rough overhere, but you know, had the
technician come out a coupledays ago, gave me some positive
news.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
He was worthless as tits on a boar hog.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
No, well, the problem was it was two separate issues.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
There was the issue of yeah, number one being Cox,
Number two being Cox.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, well, a he did say that out of all the other
major carriers like Verizon,fios and AT&T Fiber, he says
there's a better chance, in thearea that I'm at, that Google
Fiber is going to be here, whichthat would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
After they dig up your whole goddang neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
At this point.
Who gives a shit?
And he's like, yeah, thisshould be soon.
And I'm like, what's yourdefinition of soon?
He's like, yeah, you know likeeight, nine months and I was
like shit.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, it's coming.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, bro, so it was Christmas, I mean, I'd say in
the previous week that weweren't on.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Just the excitement was the buildup for Happy
Gilmore Watched it.
Yeah, I mean, dude, we have totalk about it.
I know it's been out for over aweek now and everybody's given
their opinions on it and thisand that, but the last Friday,
the day it came out, what wasthat?
July 25th?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, so you know, I took my daughter down to East
Carolina for an official collegetour and we're on the way home,
we're so excited to watch it,we stopped to eat dinner, didn't
watch it.
I was off the next day, got upand we were all fired up to
watch it and dude, I'm justgoing to say this Did they have
(07:11):
to make that movie.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Does anyone have to do anything?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
No, but, and I'm not saying it, and this is the thing
, dude the more and more I thinkabout it and I've watched it
twice now.
Okay, and the reason this is sohard is Adam Sandler.
I grew up with him.
Okay, billy Madison is one ofmy favorite movies of all times.
Yeah, all times.
(07:37):
The guy everything he's donehas been genius, right, and it's
hard for me to dog a movie,especially a golf movie.
You know what I mean.
It's something that the worldwas like 30 years later, waiting
(07:57):
for the cameos.
I felt like the movie was moreabout the cameos than anything
Agreed and something I heardlast week on another podcast.
It really clicked with me.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I felt like it was an hour and a half of TikTok clips
.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Am I wrong?
Yes and no, but you also haveto realize.
Do you know how popular TikTokis I?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
do know that, but it's a movie.
If you wanted to do this and doTikTok reels, do it.
On TikTok, I mean, threeminutes into the movie, my
second hot chick over the age of50 takes a golf ball to the
(08:54):
dome and she's gone.
And I'm instantly like are youkidding me?
I don't get to see her for therest of this movie.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Spoiler she.
She is in the rest of the movie.
I mean not a lot, but she'sstill, but still.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I mean come on, my girl Julie Bowen, dude.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I mean I don't disagree, but I mean a lot of it
also comes down to you need tohave the storyline to make it
worth making the movie.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Dude the storyline jumped so fast.
They spent three minutes on mygirl.
What was her name in theoriginal virginia?
Yeah, three minutes on it.
Next thing you know adamsandler's hammer time and liquor
out of every crevice, out ofcucumbers and shit in the
(09:46):
goddamn grocery store.
It's like dude.
But then let's make the last 35, 40 minutes all about the joke
on live tour and maxi bullshit.
I mean the beginning was great.
The the cameos were awesome.
I mean they got Jack Nicklausbro in this movie.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Facts.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
And Jack Nicklaus ordering iced tea and lemonade.
Oh, don't you mean ArnoldPalmer, Mr Nicklaus?
No, I mean iced tea andlemonade.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Great joke, great joke.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I mean Xander Shoffley.
Yeah, that's what she said.
It was great until it wasn't.
I don't know, I hate talkingbad about Adam Sandler, but you
know it is what it is and youknow we're late to the party and
everybody has their opinionsand this and that I mean.
(10:44):
But anybody like we talkedabout anybody expecting a grammy
performance did like you're notunderstanding.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
But that one we could have done without, bro I, I
mean, I still like, I stillenjoyed it.
I just think a lot of of peopleit's two different things.
It's not like we're saying, oh,it's Grammy-worthy or
Oscar-worthy, that's not it.
There's just some of it whereit felt like I don't want to say
(11:19):
over the top, but it's like wedidn't need all the cameos.
You know what I mean.
That was the best part of themovie, yeah, but there's also a
lot of cameos that if you didn'tknow who they were, you
wouldn't know who they areanyway, type of a thing.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
AKA Reggie Bush.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Well, yeah, that didn't need to be there, but I'm
just saying, like, benStiller's kids were in it and if
you didn't know you didn't knowyou kids were in it and if you
didn't know you didn't know youhad to look it up.
You know, the guy that playedthe founder of the maxi tour,
that was one of adam sandler'sold uh directors from uh, the
something gems that I can'tthink of the word of right now,
and he was awful, he's adirector.
(11:58):
This is.
You keep saying oh, this isawful, we're talking about a
stupid movie.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I'm not disagreeing with you.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And the thing is it's going to be completely
different than what the originalwas.
And just remember, the originalwas also out there for its time
.
You know what I mean?
It was completely ridiculouswhen it came out.
So it's just like, with howeverything is now like, to be
honest, I thought this.
I mean, what was more over thetop was just like his kids
(12:30):
always doing the stupid, likejack off stuff like that.
Okay, yeah, it's funny here orthere, but it's just like.
I think each person thinksdifferent things were stupid for
different reasons and areremakes needed?
No, but it's just like there'scertain ones that it's just like
if it could happen, this wouldbe a movie that could be remade.
And look, all the people thattalked about it prior from it
(12:54):
coming out said oh yeah, it's apretty good movie.
Why is everyone now changingtheir tune and being like oh?
They're saying oh, it's like.
I feel like everyone is justbeing too critical.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
To be perfectly honest, they're saying, oh it's
like I feel like everyone isjust being too critical.
To be perfectly honest, it'sjust like everyone's 100.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
They got to put their opinion on something that, to
be honest, doesn't fuckingmatter like it doesn't it's like
they want it to be a certainway.
It didn't come out their wayand now it's like, for example,
how, if anyone hates live,they're not gonna love this
stuff I mean that was prettyfunny.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I mean, first thing I thought when I'm watching it is
this has got to be a shot atlive I mean, is it who knows?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
probably, but it's just like like the only gripe
for me about the movie was justthat last hole, like that was
just kind of stupid for me, likethey could have done it in a
different way, and it wasn'tstupid for the maxi guys to get
their hamstrings cut or whateverso they could turn and hit it
(13:52):
600 yards how else would therebe other competition without
taking a direct shot at the pgatour and saying we're going to
take your players?
I mean, you're.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I don't know all I could think about when he said
that was Caddyshack.
When you got Carl hanging outwith Chevy Chase and he goes you
know how you take care of JudgeMills you cut him in the back.
He'll never be able to turn itover again.
Everything will be way right,way right.
That's all I can think about.
That's it.
That's all I can think about.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, I can think about yeah, like that part
didn't bother me at all, it'sjust, it was just like that last
final hole.
And then it's just like.
It just seemed like when you'rewatching the movie, every big
detail that the fans liked aboutthe first movie they had to
remake in some version of thenew movie.
You know, and the Bob Barkerlike the heckler thing, like
(14:46):
it's just like everything wassomething to be redone and it's
just like I feel like a lot ofpeople weren't expecting that.
And then, when they saw that,they're just like oh, I mean,
when I watched it from start tofinish, I laughed my ass off the
whole time, like all this hatewhen you just let it sit and
resonate into thinking about it.
It was just like all this andall that and you're just like
okay, yeah, you can stew on that, but, like in the moment, while
(15:07):
I was watching it, I had agreat time.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
There were.
There were three things that Iloved about this movie.
Three things, okay, number onecaught me off guard.
Totally loved it.
Totally was excited that theydid it, and that was Willie Z
zalatorre.
Yeah, when zalatorre popped onthe scene, everybody was calling
(15:30):
him what happy's caddy yeah andthen for them to play that into
it for sure awesome, awesome,loved it.
Scotty scheffler obviously.
Oh, no, oh, no, not again.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You know, with the cops.
So I actually listened to apodcast with Adam Sandler on it,
and they were talking aboutthis situation and they weren't
going to say anything to Scotty.
They just gave him his linesand if he complained about it
they had a backup plan ready togo you know, if he didn't want
(16:07):
to.
You know, make fun of himselfand this and that.
And adam sandler was like henever said a word and I was like
that's why I love the guy evenmore yeah, he gets it yeah, when
he's in jail and he's like turnthe golf on it, it was awesome.
It was awesome, I mean totallycool, loved it.
(16:28):
And then my favorite part ofthe entire movie, we didn't even
know about until the day after,and that's Hunter Mahan being
the double for Adam Sandler.
Yeah, that was amazing to me,adam Sandler, yeah, that was
amazing to me.
And the reason anybodylistening Hunter Mahan won on
(16:50):
the PGA Tour had the worst chilidip ever in the history of the
Ryder Cup Well, in the 18th hole.
But you know, whateverWorld-class player, he doesn't
play anymore.
Right, he's a coach of a highschool golf team.
Wow.
He gets a call from a highschool golf team Wow, he gets a
call from Adam Sandler's agentsaying hey, we're thinking about
(17:11):
flying you in to do an audition.
My guy is taking his team tothe state championships.
And that same week he calledhis AD, called his assistant
coach, tells them the situation.
Of course, hunter Mahan takesthe team to where they have to
(17:31):
go and then immediately flies toNew Jersey or wherever they

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Yeah, oh, dude dude, I saw that in high school dude,
that came out.
That came out the same weekendas um, the south park movie.
Wow, and the craziest partabout that was because where I
grew up was a smaller town sothere was the one major
multiplex theater.
They had cops there checkingtickets going into the theater
(23:17):
because you could still acquiretickets from your parents or
whoever, but they had copsoutside of where you would go
into the actual theater justdouble checking IDs to the
tickets because that was anR-rated movie.
But yet I still and mind you, Iwas 17 at the time, I think 17
or 16 when that came out.
(23:37):
They had cops outside of thatmovie but there was no cops for
Any Given Sunday.
And there's a few scenes in AnyGiven Sunday that if you don't
remember they were, let's justsay they were more than rated R.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I remember going to see American Pie and the same
thing was going on.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Oh, and I know you know this, but folks favorite
movie of all time right there,Love it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
American Pie.
Yeah, hands down Favoritecomedy.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
No, yeah, I mean that's number one go-to.
I've seen it a hundred times.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I will never forget going to see that movie when it
first came out and that firstscene one of them is hanging out
with the apple pie and Iliterally thought three, four
minutes into this movie that Iwas going to just piss myself.
I'm just like.
You know what I mean whenyou're just like uncontrollable
(24:40):
laughter.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Bro Dude, I mean you're five years older than I
am, but it's just like I wasthat age when that movie came
out, you know what I mean, or ayear behind, and it was just
like just relating with thecharacters and I was with my
friends and it's just like everyscene Nadia coming into the
bedroom Like there's so manyscenes in that movie, you know
(25:06):
Classic Nadia coming into thebedroom.
There's so many scenes in thatmovie.
I could go on forever with that, but yeah, it's just.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, and then you got the old classic line at the
end of the movie Bandcamp.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I wish I could have seen my face when I'm world fed
up.
What the I mean?
I wish I could have seen myface when Homeworld said that.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I'm like what the I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
The best part is.
So over the years they've hadthe spinoffs of them, but then,
you know, with other characters.
But then they have made a two,three and a four.
I'd say in a couple years theycould do a five, where now Jim
is the father and his kids thatage and with the I mean like it,
it could happen, I wouldn'tDoes.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Stifler's mom go from a milf to a gilf.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Oh, well, I mean, if Jim's that old, I mean Stifler's
mom would be in her eighties,so I mean that would be a hell
of a storyline.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You.
I mean that would be a hell ofa storyline.
You can call her up.
You can call her up G-G-Elf.
I mean just saying this is whythis podcast is great.
I'm looking at the notes and Idon't even want to talk about it
, because I could talk aboutmovies right now.
But whatever is what it is, Imean one of my favorite all time
movies since you threw outAmerican pie.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Comedies you know not yeah, you know what I'm saying
Wedding crashers.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Oh, bro, I'm going to say is this I saw that movie
for the first time in thetheater with my, with my mother.
Oh, oh god, that was not funthere's only two movies in my
lifetime that I've pissed myselfat the theater.
(26:55):
The first one was home alonewhen I was a kid, and then the
second one was writing crashers.
There are too many scenes thatI I just I couldn't hold it bro,
like.
And also there are too manyscenes that I just I couldn't
hold it bro.
And also there was a couple ofscenes that were just so fucking
awkward that I'm just like, ohmy God, but I can't stop
laughing.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Dude, that's not one I want to watch with my mom, no,
ma the meatloaf.
And everybody forgets, willFerrell was even in that movie,
that small little role he had.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Classic Right.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Classic.
We got a stage five cleaner.
Anyhow, let's jump into somegolf real quick.
I mean, we could just keepgoing.
I mean one of my favorites dudeI mean, come on.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
The dinner table scene at the guys at the
governor.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Oh God, by the mom, right, wasn't it the mom?
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah, you think you have problems.
I'm sitting over here gettingjacked up under the table.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Love it, love it, love it.
So, anyhow, let's fast forwardreal quick because it's getting
later by the second PGA Tourfinal event for the regular
season.
Okay, the Wyndham Championship.
A lot of shit on the lineGetting in the playoffs, top 70.
(28:29):
You and I made a lot of betsand thought about a lot of
things.
This dude's going to play wellbecause he's on the verge of 71
in FedEx Cup standings.
This and that Dude and I knowit's easy to say now because
homeboy won by six or whateverit was Cam Young, okay, gets his
(28:54):
first dub.
Okay, yeah, first win, numberone.
I can't believe that was hisfirst win.
But then I'm looking and he'sgot like seven runner-up
finishes.
But something I'm thinkingabout today on the way to work
that I never even thought abouthe came in, he was in the last
(29:14):
group last year when Aaron Ryewon, and then he's from New York
but he plays college golf atWake Forest, right around the
corner.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
And he always lights the place up.
In fact, if you like, lightingthe place up.
The second round last year andthe second round this year, it
was either.
He shot 62 or 63 in the secondround last year and this year.
I mean lit it up At one pointon the back nine.
(29:50):
Yesterday he had a nine-shotlead.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Starts the final round with the bogey on the
first hole and he's like, yeah,everybody relax, I'm just going
to make five birds in a row.
I mean, if it wasn't for thelast you know event of the
regular season and all theFedExCup points going up and
going down, that would have beena snooze fest, good night
turning the channel, going to gowatch my Mets get drummed Right
(30:18):
.
But the drama of everything waspretty amazing.
The drama of everything waspretty amazing.
I mean Davis Thompson startsthe week out at 73 or something
like that, birdie's like 15,makes a bomb from across the
country to make Birdie and itmoves him to like 68, and he's
(30:39):
inside the top 70, and thenthree putts the 72nd hole to
finish 72.
That's brutal.
Yeah, gary woodland, you know,sitting there, same thing, the
whole world's pulling for thedude brain surgery and all that
shit.
You know, I mean it's tough,it's golf.
(31:03):
You, our boy, got in the top 70, finished 63rd on the way to
Memphis.
He's got to play his dick offthis week in Memphis to get in
the top 50 to go to Baltimore,to Caves Valley.
I mean you want to talk abouttop 50?
Top 50 is a pretty big deal Ifyou make it to Baltimore at
(31:26):
Caves Valley you're in all thesignature events next year.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Come on, rick, let's fucking go.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
We need a week to peak baby.
We need a week.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I like that.
We need a week to peak yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
But the coolest thing I I mean about the golf
tournament, obviously homeboygetting his first win and baker
finch calls it a career dude 30years broadcasting golf
tournaments and not I put in thenotes 30 years with cvs.
It was not 30 years with cvs,he was somewhere else first, but
I think the last 14 years waswith CBS.
(32:05):
The send-off they gave him onCBS was pretty amazing.
You know they were showingpictures.
Before they were showing videosof everybody, but then him and
you know Jim Nance and Immelman,who else was up there, I don't
(32:25):
know they start showing babypictures of Finch.
It was awesome, dude.
I mean 30 years we've beenbroadcasting tournaments.
I mean you were 12, bro.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I was 17.
That's all I remember he youknow 17.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
That's all I remember .
Speaker 2 (32:46):
He.
You know, the coolest thingabout Ian Baker Finch that I
like and that I loved about himis he would talk about what
you're seeing on TV from playersthat are ridiculously good and
what they're doing and how theycould help your golf game.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Always yeah, he, yeah , he always did, and that was
amazing to me.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I've met Ian Baker fans.
He, we when I was caddying atmy old club in New York.
He came out for some event andI actually was in the group that
was caddying with him.
So you know, I spent a lot oftime with him that day and it
was a really nice guy.
I mean with him.
So you know, I spent a lot oftime with him that day and it
was a really nice guy, I mean.
What I was gonna say was I didenjoy his commentary but like
(33:29):
there's, there's just somethingabout him that he was just like
so subtly smooth that it's likewhen you're listening to him
it's like it almost puts you tosleep, but then it like it
doesn't.
You know what I mean.
It's like you're listening tohim and you're just it.
It it's I mean I guess that's agood thing, because it's just
like he's there, but he's nottype of a thing you know, and
(33:54):
it's just look, when people havetheir favorite commentators,
that's all who they want tolisten to.
So yeah you gotta love jimnance.
He's the goat in all sports,but it's just like, especially
with the golf, and look, I'llgive him credit People do get
better over time.
Trevor Immelman has definitelystepped his game up over the
last X amount of years.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
And for him to be his number two.
I was just getting ready to sayyou ain't wrong.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
For Trevor Immelman to skip playing in the masters
as a past champion.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
That says a lot.
He's like I can.
He's like I'll just call amember.
I'll go out if I want to.
He's like I'd rather just dothe coverage.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
You're allowed to play whenever you want as a past
champion.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I thought you still have to get.
I thought you still have to get.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I thought you still have to go to the river, though.
No, yeah, but it was awesome,dude.
I mean Colt Nose talking abouthim.
You know the bald guys on thebench, hot chick of the forever,
ballyona's talking about him.
It was just, it was cool.
I mean I mean Tiger Woodstweeted about it.

I mean Tiger Woods tweetedabout it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I mean, if T-Dub says something, he's Huh.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, I mean.
Anyhow, we're off to the FedExCup playoffs in Memphis this
week.
You know, hopefully thetemperature and weather that we
got here in Southeast Virginiais the same as they're getting

(35:38):
But Rory ain't playing whatDoesn't sound like Scott, he's
playing Dude.
They ain't got to play.

Stocker's three.
Stocker could win and he'sstill behind.
They ain't dropping.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Well, with how they changed the outcome of not

Yeah, the format, the formatfor the tour championship, I
mean, yeah, I mean, I get it.
They don't need to be there.
And look, it is the quotePlayoff, so they're still going
to have the viewership.
They don't need the top twoguys there.
(36:30):
I don't know, it's one of thosethings.
You would think that you justwant to keep the ball Rolling as
a player and not take the timeoff, but you know.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
When you're the Scotty, could not play in the
BMWmw in baltimore and still bewanting to at the door.
Granted, granted, they're notgoing to.
But you know, speaking of thebmw caves valley in baltimore,
this place is supposed to beridiculous.

I'm about to say, but I'm gonnasay it anyway.
Brian Harmon, top 20 bet.
I haven't even looked at it,it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
I don't know if I should take that with a grain of
salt.
After your your picks last week, I mean you're pretty fucking
confident.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I was.
I did research, but obviouslynot enough.
Cam Young played golf at WakeForest Anyhow, and you know how

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Does Morikawa deserve a spot on this team?
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Not how he's been playing.
No.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I mean, ben Griffin got her up, Novak, mavik, renele
, and now you can't throw allthese rookies on this team.
Dude Can't leave out of thestandings Now you throw Cam
Young out there.
(39:29):
He's one of the longest playersout there.
Harris English is going to beon the team, brian Harmon.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Tough choices.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Dude.
And then you look at theEuropean squad they're going to
run it back.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Dude, what they did in Rome yeah, and is this the
first year that the opposingwins on the home court?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
it's gonna be tough, bro, I mean.
Here's the question, though,and you know, all these picks
that keegan and the assistantcaptains are going to make
coming up are going to be basedoff of pairings, right?
Who's going to play with who?
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Right.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
In the four ball and then in the alternate shot.
Who in the hell are you goingto pair with Bryson?
Because you know Bryson's goingto come out with energy and you
know how he is.
You got to talk to him.
Oh sorry.
And you know Keson's going tocome out with energy and you
know how he is.
You got to talk to him.
Oh sorry, and you know Keegan'splaying.
(40:39):
Yeah, keegan's going to play,he better.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Yeah, at this point he has to, If we want to win he
has to play At this point forsure.
I mean because those captainpicks.
There's a couple of guys,there's going to be three people
that have not even been on thewriter.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
That's the thing, dude.
Everybody knows Shoffley andCantley pair together the last
time writer club Sam Burns andScheffler.
Well now, henley and Schefflerdominated the president's club
Sam Burns, unless he finishesgreat in the playoffs.
Justin Thomas, you pair withJustin Thomas Deegan.

(41:42):
I mean Sepp Straka.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
I mean I'm looking on the website right now.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
They're running it back, dude, the Europeans.
I mean, I'd take PatrickCantley right now over morakawa.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Well, I mean he's in the whole captain's pick area so
I mean he would not.
Yeah, like I mean looking downcantley's in 14 spot cam young
with that win moved up to 15.
I like that.
Sam Burns, wyndham Clark.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Wyndham Clark can go break a locker, I know.

mean, how good would JJ Spahnand Bryson be together?
Wow, two California kids.

If Morikawa makes this teamdude, I mean my guy's firing
caddies, my guy's switchingputters.
He's trying to play golf.

(44:04):
be there.
You know most teams that playthe hall of fame game were like,

And we dominated the entiregame.
We finally have a squad that'sdeep.
Yeah, at a lot of positions.
I mean from the opening kickoffwe kick off with them.

Peace out, cub Scout.
But, dude, coolest thing for me.
You know I've been talkingabout this dude forever and for
some reason I mean you don't.
When I say KLS, you don't knowwho it is.
(44:51):
Hometown guy here from VirginiaWent to Christmas High School,
nephew of Cam, chancellorFastest 40 time in the combine.
All I keep hearing is homeboyskilling camp, killing camp,
killing camp and like you and Ialways say that's great, it's
camp.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
It's not a real situation.
Right.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Well, he dominated, had a tutty Fucking tutty.
He had good, god almighty.
But something that worries me alittle bit trey lance looked
good yeah and you know how oldtrey.
Speaker 3 (45:29):
He's young.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Not very.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Yeah, what 26 maybe 25, I think.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Oh Jesus.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Yeah, he looked good, you know.
Yeah, good enough to startStart what?
The Hall of Fame game, the Hallof Fame game no week one bro.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
But I'm worried about my boy, taylor, but it is what
it is.
I ain't really worried abouthim because he's got 18 mil on
the bank.
I was stoked watching the guysplay A lot of guys fighting for
roster spots but you know, thereal highlight of the weekend
for myself was Gates Got signedin first ballot and that was the
(46:28):
biggest douchebag thing ever.
He's the only player in the NFLHall of Fame that never played
a snap in college football.
That's insane, never.
And today I'm listening to theChargers weekly podcast and this
story.
(46:48):
I had no idea.
Gates played, obviously, highschool basketball, high school
football, yeah, and he hadverbally committed to go to
michigan state.
We all know the basketballcoach at michigan state, tom iso
.
Yeah, and the football coach atthat time for michigan state
was none other than nick sabanand he was going to go there and
(47:14):
both coaches told him you canplay both sports.
Basketball was Gates' dream andyou can play both sports and
they wouldn't bitch if he gothurt on football or basketball.
Well, saban came back, or Izzocame back and said something
(47:35):
about if you get hurt infootball, you're done with
football, and Gates was like nochance, stopped, went to a
community college.
Then went to Kent State.
His junior year made it to theElite Eight.
Went in the NBA draft never gotdrafted.
That was his dream to go to theElite Eight.
(47:55):
Went in the NBA draft never gotdrafted.
That was his dream.
To go to the NBA.
Chargers take him as anundrafted free agent.
You know what they pay Gates tocome to camp and be, an
undrafted free agent.
A couple hundred bucks, two Gshow wild is that.
Speaker 3 (48:13):
It ain't nothing, but I mean.
I mean, look, it adds to theallure of what his career ended
up becoming.
And for him to go in.
You know, did he went in withGonzalez this year, Right, or
did?
Was I mixed up on that?
No, that's what I thought.
(48:34):
I saw something online.
They made it sound like I'mlike that was.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
But I mean, there's players that have played
basketball and football incollege.
You know Julius Peppers, tonyGonzalez, but not ever playing a
snap.
Speaker 3 (48:50):
That's crazy.
I mean, look well-deserved Hallof Famer.
I mean his little tribute toPhillip Rivers was nice.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
Fun fact, though I said it to you the other day,
he's up for it.
Fun fact who threw AntonioGates his first ever touchdown
pass in the NFL?
Obviously, I know.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
I know what the answer is now.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
But how crazy is that .
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Good old 40-year-old short man, doug Flutie, let's go
Insane.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Right Flutie Flakes baby.
Speaker 3 (49:34):
Yeah, my first guess was Drew Brees breeze.
But when you said no, that'swhat.
That's what I thought too thereyeah and I was like oh yeah, he
was there for that time.
That makes, crazy but I mean,look, I'll say this, the hall of
fame game.
It was almost surreal to watchbecause you know football not
being around for however manymonths now, it's just like dude,
(49:56):
all the hype, even for me justwatching training you know, for
my team and even stuff withyours, it's just like the juices
are flowing, we're superexcited, and to see it on TV,
you're like, it's like youalmost forgot about it.
You know what I mean.
It's just like it was to thatpoint where it was like oh my
god, it's back.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
The crazy thing.
They asked my boy from VirginiaKLS what was Harbaugh's speech
before the game.
Why did you guys come out sofired up and Harbaugh goes?
He said, guys, this is anationally televised game.
(50:35):
More people will watch thisgame than any game in the NBA
Finals or any game in MajorLeague Baseball World Series.
And the numbers came out.
You weren't wrong.
Speaker 3 (50:50):
Well yeah, it's the first game of the year.
Everyone's just itching.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
Dude any NFL game.
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Yeah, dude, they could have played the Jags
versus the Saints as the firstgame that would have had the
same numbers.
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (51:05):
But you know real quick, before we get into any
other thing NFL rumor on thestreet is Keenan's going to sign
with the Chargers in the nextcouple days.
Looks like it.
I saw this earlier today and Ihad to screenshot it because I
wanted to bring it up.
How about this?
Dude?
You ready?
(51:26):
You want to talk about theChargers taking the Bears to the
woodshed?
Full trade return for the Bearsif Keenan Allen signs with the
Chargers.
We got Ladd, mcconkie andTarheib.
Still, we acquired a fourthround pick overall from the
(51:46):
Bears in exchange for Allen.
They went and used the samepick as part of the deal that
allowed the Chargers to trade upwith the Patriots to get Ladd.
Now we're going to get him back.
Hey, bears, have fun with pinkfingernailed Caleb Williams that
has to have training camp.
Go half speed so my guy can seereceiver routes.
Speaker 3 (52:09):
Do you play the Bears this year?
No, Huh.
Speaker 2 (52:13):
Huh what.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
No, we play the Vikings this year.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
No, oh, oh, what no?
We play the Vikings.
I think you.
Speaker 1 (52:18):
Oh, I thought you do yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
Not saying the Bears didn't make great changes in the
offseason, but Dude andremember, that night we had the
emergency podcast.
Speaker 1 (52:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
And I sang Boyz II Men.
Boyz II Men, I mean anyhowScary.
Terry and Parsons both askedfor a trade washington.
(52:57):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (53:01):
yo, I'm just gonna say this.
I was listening to nfl, right,or I'm sorry.
I was listening on siriusXM,the fantasy channel, and one of
the main guys that I listened to.
He said something very poignantto me.
Well, not to me specifically,but to the listeners.
(53:21):
He's like guys, this is allfodder for people like us you
and I and other outlets to justsquawk on talk about what could
or could not happen and all thebullshit around it.
On talk about what could orcould not happen and all the
bullshit around it.
There's no way both or any ofthe individuals and the
organizations are going to letthis happen.
They're too important to theorganizations.
(53:44):
This is just something where anagent hits up Schefter and was
just like hey, why don't you putthis out there?
Stir the pot a little bit, helpus out and by us I mean the
player and the agent Build us upa little bit, put some shit out
there, you know, make somewhite noise and see what happens
(54:05):
.
And that's exactly what it'sgoing to do in both instances.
Look, terry McLaurin yes, is he30 years old for a wide
receiver on the more tail end ofhis career Technically, but
five 1,000-yard seasons in a rowthe basically face of your
franchise, someone who is thenumber one look-to from Jaden
(54:32):
Daniels, who's going to be asophomore quarterback in the NFL
who, by the way, led you to theNFC Championship.
You're going to take away a guythat scored you 13 touchdowns
last year.
Yeah, you got Debo and a coupleother pieces.
What are you doing?
You got money to spend.
Why wouldn't you spend it on aguy and you're just like, oh
(54:53):
well, he's already making this,but he's asking for this.
Look, certain players willoutperform their contracts and
deserve more money.
And, look, you have it.
He deserves it.
Do right by the guy.
Like you'll be so happy to payJaden Daniels, you'll be so
happy to pay other people.
(55:14):
Why won't you pay the guythat's been the face of your
franchise for the last fiveyears, based off the
quarterbacks that he had toreceive the catches from and
never bitched, never moaned andnever bitched the whole time?
Like, this extension is goingto be the last one you're going
to give him.
Let him get a little bread.
Speaker 2 (55:32):
And you still got a quarterback on a rookie deal.
Speaker 3 (55:37):
On a rookie deal?
Yeah, unless you're KylerMurray and then, after three
years, saying, oh, you got topay me or I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
But you get Debo to help Terry.
Debo is not scary, terry.
Two completely different widereceivers but now you're opening
up the field because you gotboth of them.
Like you said, 13 bomb, 13tutties last year.
Speaker 3 (56:03):
Which is up from his previous years.
But I'm just saying.
And then the whole MicahParsons situation.
Look, folks, unless you're adiehard Cowboys fan and I mean
even if you are you can't Idon't want to say this politely
you can't not agree that JerryJones has been fucking up deals
for how many years now?
Speaker 2 (56:25):
What did he pay Zeke?
Speaker 3 (56:27):
Well, here's my point he's waited to get the last
drop out of every player beforehe decided to pay him.
When you don't pay playersearly and look, pittsburgh
should have paid TJ last year, Iget it Now they got to pay him
this amount when you wait to paysomeone and his value goes up,
you have to spend more money.
They overpaid on Zeke, didn'thave to.
(56:50):
They overpaid on Dak theydidn't have to.
They overpaid on Ceepaid on Dak, they didn't have to.
They overpaid on CD lamb theydidn't have to.
And now they're in a spot wherethe defensive end pass rusher
is the second most importantposition behind I mean you could
say it's one a, one B to theleft tackle and then, obviously,
quarterback being number one.
You have Micah Parsons, who'stop three between TJ and Garrett
(57:15):
Wilson, and he's 26 years old.
Garrett Wilson, na widereceiver.
Sorry, garrett, sorry, sorry.
That's not what I meant to say.
Speaker 1 (57:23):
I don't smack myself.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
Miles Garrett he's number three and the dude's 26.
The two guys that I mentionedboth got paid and they're in
their 30s.
So, oh, you didn't want to payhim last year because he was
hurt for five games and was thatinjury, you think, going to be
career ending?
No, like all these issues areon you, jerry Jones, like this
(57:52):
is all on you, so with him, likehe's going to camp, he's not
participating, and I mean reallythe ball's in his court.
Yeah, he forced it, like he'slike.
Oh, you know, I'm gonna ask himfor a trade.
They'll get a king's ransom ifthat's what they actually want
to do.
But why would you want to dosomething that's going to hurt
your team If you lose MicahParsons?
(58:14):
There's no, you have no chancein the NFC.
Speaker 2 (58:20):
Like I told you the other day, the Raiders traded
Khalil Mack to the Bears for twofirsts.
Speaker 3 (58:27):
Yeah, but the Raiders weren't in the Cowboys'
position.
Speaker 2 (58:32):
What position is that ?
Finishing third in theirdivision?
Speaker 3 (58:38):
You know what I'm trying to say.
Look, they make the playoffs.
They're just like Pittsburgh.
They make the playoffs in firstround exit.
Are they going to make theplayoffs this year?
Is Micah Parsons on the team?
Speaker 2 (58:50):
If I said yes, are they going to make the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (58:52):
Yes, Obviously barring health.
Yeah, of course Cowboys makethe.
Of course I mean look, the NFCEast could have three teams
again, or could have three teamsthis year.
Speaker 2 (59:06):
Yeah, I just don't understand the Washington thing.
Dude, ride the momentum.
You got Scary Terry.
You made a run.
You boat raced the team withthe best record in the
divisional round last year toadvance to the NFC Championship
game.
You got boat raced by theEagles.
What are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (59:27):
And he's only asking for like seven million more a
year.
Speaker 1 (59:31):
What are?
Speaker 3 (59:31):
you thinking Crying over spilled milk is what it
sounds like?
Speaker 2 (59:37):
On a side note, you want to hear some humor, let's
do it.
I mean, sorry, got to throwthis shot at Browns fans.
Someone should do a study onhow the Browns went from Baker
Mayfield to a quarterback roomof Dylan Gabriel, Kenny Pickett,
Joe Flacco, Shador Sanders andTyler Huntley.
Speaker 3 (59:56):
Yeah, but the better story is how Baker transformed
into what he is now.
Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
No one thought when he left Cleveland he was going
to be what he was Remember hewent to the Panthers I didn't
and then he started thatThursday night game for the Rams
and got the dub.
Yeah well, that game made hiscareer Like two days of learning
the playbook, and then hestarted that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Thursday night game for the Rams and got the dub.
Yeah Well, that game made hiscareer.
Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Like two days of learning the playbook.
Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Yeah, yeah, that got him the end of Tampa.
And they were like, hey, let'sfigure this out.
Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
I mean same as Taylor dude, the playoff game against
the Bucs, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Matt Flynn One game 18-0.
Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
Was sleeping on my sister's couch.
Yeah, Matt Flynn.
