A coaching triumph becomes a moment of bitter disappointment when victory arrives without the chance to compete. This emotional episode captures the heartbreak of having an earned championship game opportunity stolen away through forfeit, as one host's flag football team is denied their rightful chance at glory when opponents back out of the final game.
The authenticity is palpable as Coach Wasco shares his raw feelings about seeing four years of working with young athletes culminate in an empty trophy celebration. Behind the frustration lies a beautiful reflection on watching children grow from "little babies" into capable young men, revealing the true purpose behind youth coaching that transcends wins and losses.
Professional sports take center stage as well, with Keegan Bradley's dramatic Travelers Championship victory creating an intriguing Ryder Cup dilemma. Should the US captain become the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963? The hosts make a compelling case while analyzing his current form and what it means for Team USA's chances at Bethpage Black.
Basketball fans will appreciate the breakdown of an NBA Finals that defied all expectations, with the massive underdog Pacers pushing the dominant Thunder to a hard-fought Game 7. The discussion highlights the importance of coaching and team chemistry in championship moments, with special praise for Rick Carlisle's masterful game planning.
Whether you're a parent, coach, or simply someone who loves sports in all its emotional complexity, this episode captures why competition matters at every level. Join us for candid conversations about triumph, disappointment, and the moments that remind us why sports remain the ultimate unscripted drama.

Finally, it's about time.
After two weeks of weatherdelays.
Right and dude.
Let's just say you know, firstgame semifinals, we're the two
seed playing the three seed.
You saw the video.
We dominated one.
I don't know, we only gave upone touchdown.
I don't even know what thescore was.
(02:52):
That matters the video.
Another episode we dominated allguys on the bench.
It was hotter than hogs balls,dude.
It was ridiculous.
We only had seven players.
You know to go out there andplay and you know we're trying
to rest them all for thechampionship game against mr
blue sweatshirt, which the whichthe championship game is
supposed to start literallyright after the semifinal game
and we win the game.
We're sitting there talking tothe kids and we're all looking
(03:14):
around and we're like where arethe commanders?
Where are the commanders?
Nobody can see them.
And I walk over to the leagueofficial and I'm like the
commanders are nowhere to befound and she's like, oh yeah,
they left.
They're playing in a nationalflag football tournament next
(03:36):
week in Ohio and they wereafraid you guys were going to
hurt them.
So they forfeited and you guyswin the trophy.
Graham (03:42):
What?
All right, hold on.
Let's back up a second.
I know you threw out thecomment of the blue sweatshirt
guy For the people that don'tlisten to us all the time.
Just refresh us on who we'retalking about here.
Scott (03:53):
If you don't understand the reference of blue sweatshirt
, which I had to explain earliertoday to Aiden, go back to
episode 155, at the nine minutemark.
You'll learn all about.
You'll learn all about that fatfuck Dude.
We got our first trophy sinceI've been coaching, but you know
(04:16):
what it sucks.
It sucks.
The team earned the right toplay in the championship game
and because this dude and hisother coaches are weak, they
were scared and they didn't wantto play us because they were
(04:36):
afraid that we were going tohurt them.
And they're playing in anational flag football
tournament.
Okay, listen to that nationalflag football tournament.
Okay, listen to that Nationalflag football tournament.
So what does that mean to you?
Oh, that I was right.
They're illegally practicingduring the week.
Okay, I gave them credit acouple weeks ago, saying they
(04:57):
were good and they were, andthey didn't huddle up.
And I even brought up JoshMcDaniels, sean Payton,
kingsbury you did, but now itall makes sense, but to rip that
away from my kids that earn theright to play in a championship
game, that's bullshit, dude,absolute bullshit.
(05:21):
And it you're a weak individualand if you knew you weren't
going to play us which you knewwe were going to win our first
game and play you in thechampionship game?
Right, then why don't you justannounce it before the fact?
Because now the team that youplayed in the semifinals gets
hosed.
Not only that, the team thatfinished as the five seed they
(05:43):
don't make the playoffs.
You should have just bowed outand taken your fat ass to you
know the salad bar and eaten asalad and gone on a diet before
your trip to Ohio.
I mean, what a bitch dude.
What a bitch Like on the wayhome.
Kellen's like yeah, I know wewon the championship, but, dad,
(06:05):
I wanted to feel the nerves ofplaying in a championship game.
I agree 100%.
I would have rather lost a goodgame and came in second place
than get the trophy like this.
Facts, it's bullshit.
It's bullshit, dude.
Facts, absolute bullshit.
You and all of our listenersknow how much I wanted this.
(06:27):
Oh, number one, because it mayor may not be my last year
coaching, because some otherthings, but I wanted it for
kellen.
I got emotional tonight talkingto kristin about it.
I love going out there.
Yeah, I love going out therewith my son.
I love going out there withColton.
I love going out there withShane.
(06:48):
I sent you the picture from thefirst game we ever played
together four years ago, andthese kids look like little
babies To now and, like I put inmy Instagram post, I'll share
it on Ball Guys.
They've become amazing footballplayers, but the crazy part is
they've become young men andI've gotten to be a part of that
(07:09):
and I've gotten texts fromShane's dad and Colton's mom
saying we're forever gratefulthat you were their coach and
you've been there week in andweek out.
I wanted to win it the real way, dude.
Graham (07:23):
Facts.
Scott (07:25):
Not.
Hey, we walk over to the leagueofficial and that stupid bitch
goes hey, how many people do youhave on your team?
Here are your eight trophies.
The league doesn't even give usa proper ceremony.
Hey, patriots, you win thechampionship.
They're just like here.
You go Like kick rocks.
Nfl flag football the biggestjoke on the planet.
(07:49):
They charge a shit ton of money, they throw the NFL logo out
there and they think they can dowhatever the fuck they want
because they throw that outthere.
They give you an hour topractice before the game and
then you got a travel team overhere playing in a nationwide
event that practices six times.
(08:09):
Okay, okay.
Well, how about this bluesweatshirt?
You non-salad-eating piece ofshit?
My team put up 28 points onyour boys and you're a national
tournament guy.
You ain't good.
Go kick rocks.
And you know what?
And TP said it tonight when Iseen the picture of me in the
trophy at least I could fit inmy goddamn red shirt.
(08:32):
You fat piece of shit.
I mean you pussy.
You ripped this away from mykids because you were scared.
You were scared.
Some of these kids will neverplay football again, ever.
They'll never be in achampionship game again.
And you took that away fromthem because you were scared and
(08:55):
because you don't care aboutanything but you eating a bunch
of fried foods.
We all know you don't like toeat salad.
I mean, what's that place inCalifornia?
Salad Soup plantation, soupplantation?
Yeah, you need to bring one ofthose goddamn things to Virginia
beach, you fat piece of shit.
I mean, come on.
Graham (09:15):
Oh, I miss that place.
Scott (09:17):
So you know your boy wins by default and it sucks.
You know it sucks.
I wanted to be excited about it.
You know I am whatever, but I'mbummed dude look, it sucks, I
totally get it.
Graham (09:35):
When I texted you earlier and you shot me a
picture of the chip of the cupor your trophy, I should say I'm
looking at it, I'm looking atthe time and I'm like, even with
, even with the three-hour timedifference, I was like this
seems early.
I'm like, did the league screwwith you again and go back on
the time that they wanted tostart?
Like I was just so confused andthen when you told me what had
(09:55):
happened, I'm like, wait, what?
What?
I mean?
Look, obviously I feel terribleabout the situation for you,
callan, and the rest of yourteam.
I mean, yeah, congratulations.
You guys did win, but I mean youwanted to do it in the right
way.
I'm aware that some parentsother parents didn't take likely
(10:20):
to the situation that unfoldedand maybe they're voicing their
opinions on other platforms suchas that.
But I'll say this I have noproblem using this platform to
help show the discrepancies inwhich that organization is run.
Like if we need to make a clipfrom this episode and send it to
whoever it needs to be sent to,like the league.
(10:42):
Roger goodell, who not that Isay has anything to do with this
specifically, but I'm justsaying like he's an oversight of
an oversight of an oversight, Iget that, but if people found
out that that's how the leagueis run, especially and look, I
get it, virginia is a bigfootball market.
Like there's a lot of stars andplayers that come out of your
(11:02):
area.
If that gets out how it'smismanaged, maybe the right
people can be put in thesituation so this doesn't happen
.
Because, thinking back on iteven just now, the team that
quote-unquote forfeited and left.
We said to each other well, whywould they play the first game?
Well, they wanted to get apractice in for themselves 100%,
(11:24):
dude.
Scott (11:25):
And the thing that sucks, we hadn't played a game, bro,
since that one a long time ago,because of the rain out.
I haven't even seen my boys,dude, since that game.
And you know they've practicedfour times, five times, six
times.
You know, but you know what it,what it is.
We did it the right way, theydid it the wrong way and you
(11:50):
know I've sent numerous emailsto the league officials and that
you know, bitch Leonard Stevens, that owns our league.
Now he doesn't even reply, bro,he has his secretary reply.
And, yeah, I'm calling you out,leonard Stevens.
Yeah, you Bald guys on thebench.
(12:10):
Why don't you man up and call aboy back?
Because you won't.
You know why?
Because you suck, just like theemail I sent you yesterday.
Your league is a joke since youbought it.
Perfect performance flag.
Yeah, perfect performance beesnuts.
Because you suck.
You have no clue.
You don't have a clue if afootball's stuffed or inflated.
(12:32):
All you're doing is collectingmy goddamn money and going
cha-ching, cha-ching.
Oh, let me pay $12 for amouthpiece.
Venmo, leonard Stevens.
You know what?
Shut up, bro.
Go kick rocks.
I pay a shit ton of money.
Guaranteed five regular seasongames.
If you don't make the playoffs,you get a consolation game.
You know ran out.
What happens?
(12:52):
Oh, that game canceled.
I sent an email.
Oh, what's Leonard Stevens do?
Oh, let's, let me have mysecretary email.
This guy back, dude.
I mean kick rocks, bro.
I mean you don't have a clue.
You know, maybe you should bedriving a fucking garbage truck
or something like that.
Maybe you can.
I mean, that's pretty easy.
Hey, there's garbage on theside of the road, let's throw it
in the goddamn truck.
(13:14):
Ding, ding, ding ding, you don'thave to use your fucking brain,
you moron.
Anyhow, I don't know, dude, itsucks Anyhow, I don't know, dude
, it sucks.
I'm pissed, but we won.
And you know, I don't know,dude, it is what it is.
It's just all that to come downlike that.
(13:35):
Like I said earlier, I wouldhave rather lost in a close game
than get handed the trophywithout playing a game 100% I
mean, and that's what a truecompetitor should feel like.
Graham (13:47):
You know what I mean?
Oh, here you go.
T Nah, I want to win this shit.
That, plus the fact that afterlast game and how it basically
got called off when they'restill in the third, is absolute
ridiculousness.
I mean just the angst ofwanting to get revenge on that
game, regardless if it was forthe championship or not.
(14:09):
I'm sure you wouldn't have mindif it was just another regular
season game.
You just wanted to play them,to beat them and wipe that
shit-eating grin off their faces.
Scott (14:18):
I wanted them again.
Dude, 100%, I wanted them again.
Graham (14:24):
And as you should, but as you should, I mean, I wanted
them again and as you should,but as you should.
Scott (14:26):
I mean, I ain't scared.
Graham (14:30):
No at all, Folks.
You're listening to the newcommissioner of the South
Virginia, whatever conference,blah, blah, blah.
No, dude, I don't want my nameassociated with that fucking
bullshit.
Scott (14:44):
I mean I'll, I'll respond to my own emails, I don't need
my secretary to do it.
When some dude's calling me out, I mean come on, dude, I don't
know, I guess, I guess thesecretary doesn't know if the
ball's stuffed or inflatedeither oh, she probably has a
more bigger clue than thatleonard stevens piece of shit.
I mean the the coach's official, you know, zoom, meeting before
(15:08):
the season starts.
Oh, here's my cell phone number.
If you have any kind of issue,you know, reach out to me.
Graham (15:15):
I'm still waiting for a call back yeah, I reach out if
everything that we're reachingout for you don't respond to.
It's like it's another thing.
It's like how are some rulesfor some people and other rules
are not for the rest of theleague?
Like I just don't.
And then my assistant coach, hegoes.
Scott (15:34):
This is hilarious, I didn't even tell you this.
He texts me and we're all nightlong.
He goes, dude.
The ref today seemed hungover,honestly.
He basically told me on thesideline that he sometimes lets
calls go for teams that arelosing bad what and I'm like
okay.
and then I'm like it's funny.
We did a play in the first gameand, unfortunately, two people
(15:57):
were in motion.
You're only allowed to have oneperson in motion.
I'm like it's funny you saythat because they had three guys
in motion twice, he never threwa flag telling the touchdown
run at the beginning of the gameshould have been called back
because he jumped about halfwaythrough his run.
I was like, damn it, you gotlucky.
And he responds yeah, hedefinitely jumped 100%.
This is what you're dealingwith, dude.
(16:19):
I mean, I don't know, man, I'msorry I got heated, I'm sorry I
threw F-bombs, but you know, Idon't know if I'm going to coach
next year.
It sounds like we are, but ifnot, I'm going down in history
just like Bill Walsh and JoeGibbs, dude winning the
championship and retiring.
Graham (16:38):
You know, Bill.
Scott (16:39):
Cowher.
Bill Cowher won his last seasonand retired, didn't he?
Graham (16:44):
There you go.
Scott (16:46):
I mean, just put my name right there with him.
You're welcome and you knowwhat.
I did it the right way.
I didn't do it the cheating,scandalous way, like Fat Boy in
the blue sweatshirt walking offthe sidelines.
Oh, we're going to forfeitbecause we're afraid they're
(17:08):
going to hurt us.
Yeah, you're damn right.
My boy Shane, my boy Colton, myson Kellen, we don't take no
shit.
Ain't backing down to nobody,motherfucker.
Ain't backing down to nobody,motherfucker.
(17:30):
And just as I say, that OKCwins by 12.
Graham (17:34):
Damn, I knew I should have live bet that when they
were up 20.
Scott (17:38):
I knew I should have taken that.
Nba champions.
Wow, once again, your boy's ayear late, remember?
I called him last year.
You did.
I don't know if I called him towin it, I called him to win the
West.
Whatever, it's not important.
Whatever, nobody cares.
Everybody's still thinkingabout blue sweatshirt yeah, mr
(18:11):
Blue Sweatshirt, when it's 90degrees and 70 out there.
Bro, I'm gonna tell you rightnow I'm looking up what
tournament is in ohio for flagfootball and I'm finding out his
name and I'm gonna find him onsocial media and I'm gonna send
him this fucking episode.
And I'm going to send him thisfucking episode and I, literally
, on the way to the game, on theway to the game today, hold
that thought.
On the way to the game today, Itold Kellen I'm like hey, when
(18:34):
we end up playing them, I needyou to behave Like, I don't need
you to lose your shit.
I told Shane the same thing,because the only people I had to
worry about were Kellen, shaneand Colton, the three amigos,
the three OGs that have been onmy team since day one, right?
And Kellen's like well, dad,what if he says something to me?
(18:55):
And I just literally look athim and I'm like you, just look,
literally look at him and goeat a salad, walk away.
Graham (19:03):
Yeah.
Scott (19:04):
What were you going to say?
I'm sorry I interrupted you.
Graham (19:19):
No, I was going to say, if you're going to do that much
of a dig or deep dive on theinternet or social media, find
out where it is.
Maybe you can find out wherethey're staying at, maybe you
could call the hotel and be likehey, so this is coach blah,
blah, blah.
Can you cancel my, my, oh damnmy wake up call.
Scott (19:41):
You see some fat dude walking around In a blue
sweatshirt.
Graham (19:49):
I don't know or find the other team and just find out
who they're playing and be likehey, just want to let you know
that the guys that you'replaying Did this to our team.
Take care of business, dominatethem bro.
Scott (20:01):
Dominate them Alright.
Graham (20:05):
Spins, spin, spin, spin.
Dominate them, bro, dominatethem All right.
Scott (20:07):
Spins, spin, spin spin, spin like a goddang tornado.
As much as I could talk aboutthis all night, I know we got to
move on, I mean, but you knowwhat, like TP said, he goes dude
.
The people that listen to yourshow understand this and know
how passionate you are about it.
It just sucks, dude, it sucks.
(20:32):
I agree, I mean we won it, butwe didn't win it, you know.
Graham (20:38):
I wouldn't say it's of the same caliber, but I was
listening to an episode or apodcast online on youtube and it
had, um, it was like troypalomalu, I think, ryan clark
and someone else, but they weretalking about how or maybe it
was with, uh, cam hayward.
(20:59):
It was palomalu on camhayward's podcast, but basically
they were talking about how,back in 2010, when they made the
Super Bowl and lost to thePackers which we'll let that
slide, aaron Rodgers, we'll letthat slide if you take us deep
this year they were talkingabout the fact that when you win
(21:21):
the AFC, like they got, everymember on the team got these
gold watches and a lot of theplayers on defense didn't keep
them.
They either gave them away,sold them, didn't accept them
something.
And Paulo Mello was saying hewas just like yeah, man, our
(21:43):
whole goal is to make it to thechampionship and then win it.
We were there, we lost.
So we don't feel like we'rechampions, we don't feel like we
deserve a prize, and mostpeople I know got rid of it,
cause cam's like well, do youhave your watch?
And he's like absolutely not.
He said I just happened to beat a different teammate's house
and I saw the watch because hehad it in his little case and he
(22:06):
saw it and he was just like youstill have that.
And the guy was like, yeah,well, you know, blah, blah, blah
, blah.
I mean obviously it was someonethat wasn't on the team for a
long period of time, but it'sjust like, look, getting a
trophy, and really what it is,even though technically you're a
champion, it feels like aconsolation prize, it's you know
(22:29):
what I mean?
It's almost like, yeah, okay,you gave it to me, but every
time you look at it you're justgoing to know what happened and
it's just, it's not going.
I know you, I would behard-pressed to say I don't
think you would keep that outLike, do you even?
Scott (22:53):
It's not going in the office.
Graham (22:55):
Right, like I would think it's going to stay in the
garage and like I hate sayingthat for you, but it's just like
Dude, dude.
Scott (23:03):
No, you don't hate saying it, you know me.
Graham (23:05):
Yeah, yeah.
Scott (23:09):
Like I said earlier, dude , those kids were stripped from
playing in a championship game,and that's what sucks, right?
That's the thing that hurts myheart the most.
Graham (23:23):
Oh 100%.
Scott (23:25):
You know it was hotter than Hades.
We were three people down.
We're throwing seven people outthere.
Kellen was sick as a dog and,like I told you earlier, after
halftime, going into the secondhalf, kellen's like I need a
breather.
If he's asking me for abreather, I know he ain't right.
Right, and you know, going tothe championship game did I
(23:51):
think we were going to win?
I don't know.
We would have had to playperfect with, you know, three
people out and three of thembeing studs, but everybody was
dealing with the heat you knowthe heat affects everybody.
Graham (24:08):
You know what I mean.
It's the people that can adhereto the, the outside things will
do better.
Scott (24:15):
And that's and that's what coach and I kept telling
him.
We're like, I know you're hot,we know you're tired, you gotta
be mentally strong.
And we kept telling them.
And then we turn around andthere's no commanders there.
Yeah, but anyhow, got homeearly, walked in the door, throw
on the golf you know, signatureevent in Hartford.
(24:38):
But before we even get intothat, got to throw this out.
Today, June 22nd, my 23rdwedding anniversary.
Graham (24:50):
That should have been in the beginning of the show.
Scott (24:52):
I know, but you know how ready I was to unleash.
Graham (24:56):
I know, but Kristen ain't listening at the 25 minute
mark.
Scott (25:00):
Oh, I'll play it back for her.
You know, happy anniversary,kristen.

terrible the second day.
Then throws out a 64.

And Captain America, keeganBradley, ryder cup captain, who
we talked about last week, goesout there and hits it.
Dig tight on the 72nd hole.
Yeah, he would miss the missesthe green to the point where he
can putt it.
And Fleetwood is first putt.
(26:33):
And this putt was so bad he wasoutside of Keegan's birdie putt
.
We know what happens Fleetwoodmisses, keegan makes it Dude.
Graham (26:49):
It's tough to miss a six-footer when you see the line
, when you're that good numberone.
Number two I know we've talkedabout him in the past, and by
him I'm referring to Fleetwood.
Scott (27:05):
I wanted him to win until he started shitting the bed
today.
Graham (27:09):
Right, no 100%.
Scott (27:12):
Remember, I texted you yesterday.
Graham (27:13):
I'm like dude.
Scott (27:13):
Fleetwood, fleetwood.
Is he finally gonna get it doneright?
And TP brought it up in a text.
As it's going on, he goes isFleetwood the current day?
Graham (27:23):
Colin Montgomery, oh what never won a PGA Tour event
oh my god, you did not just saythat won the Order of Merit over
there on the European Tour,never won a PGA Tour event.
Scott (27:36):
Oh my god, you did not just say that.
Won the Order of Merit overthere on the European Tour.
Wow, wow.
I'm a little stunned right now.
Graham (27:53):
Only because what I was just about to say not that I was
going to say that, but it wasto the reference of.
We've been talking aboutFleetwood for ever since we've
been doing the podcast, and evenprior to the podcast.
Fleetwood is a great player,not just a good player, he is a
great player.
And for someone to consistentlybe in the top 30 for how many
(28:18):
years?
Scott (28:18):
now Five at least the kids that I teach.
I tell them study Fleetwoodsgolf swing.
Oh it's beautiful.
That's what you want your golfswing to look like.
Graham (28:31):
I just, you know you just that colin montgomery
comment just took me.
Wow, I hope not, but I mean wow, I think he's a better player
than him word for word.
Scott (28:52):
Tp goes is Fleetwood this generation's Colin Montgomery?
I know Colin never won a major,but he never won on the PGA
Tour also.
Graham (29:01):
Yeah, but Montgomery was winning a bunch of tournaments
on the European Tour.
Scott (29:07):
Same as Fleetwood.
Graham (29:09):
Yeah, but isn't Fleetwood playing more events
here?
He plays both, Look I.
Scott (29:18):
Dude.
Graham (29:19):
The worst part is, I mean, I don't know if it's the
bias of being someone from theUnited States, but when you're
the home country for certainsports where we're the best.
So what I mean by that is, likethe PGA tour is the creme de la
(29:42):
creme, the NBA is the creme dela creme.
You know, other countries arecreme de la creme of other
sports.
Like I get that we're nothockey, even though we haven't
had a Canadian team win in 30fucking years.
But that's not, that's not.
That's not the point.
Um, I'm just saying, if the pgatour is the toppy, top, top,
(30:04):
why, like I don't know, I Iguess where I'm going with this.
It's like I I know what you'regoing.
Scott (30:12):
You were gutted for Tommy Fleetwood yeah, I mean like and
I was too.
Graham (30:16):
He deserves it, but it's just like it's gutted, but it's
also like you know he's good.
You don't want to take awayfrom the fact that he hasn't won
or that he plays on the tour,because I mean, don't get me
wrong I guarantee you there'smore than a handful of players
that play on the European Tourthat if they had a chance to
(30:39):
play on the PGA Tour they couldget dubs it would.
You know what I mean.
The PGA Tour, it's all aboutbeing in the right place at the
right time to get availabilityto get on the tour.
Time to get availability to geton the tour.
I mean, you know that wholedrama but, that being said, I
just you know, when you comparehim to Colin Montgomery, I'm
(31:02):
just wow, you really.
You're kind of leaving me alittle speechless on it.
I don't know what to say.
Scott (31:08):
Good and the question of all questions at this point.
We all know Keegan is thecaptain of the Ryder Cup team.
Right Going into this event Ithink he was 17th on Ryder Cup
point standings and he alwayssaid he's not going to pick
(31:29):
himself.
But they haven't updated thestanding right now.
But you can't name 12 playersbetter than him to represent the
United States in the Ryder Cupand, like TP said, I didn't even
(31:53):
think about this.
This is amazing.
What's like TP said, I didn'teven think about this, this is
amazing.
What's understated is Tiger notaccepting being the captain at
Bethpage and Keegan accepting itafter Tiger said no.
Because Keegan said tonight inhis press conference he goes.
(32:14):
The first thing Seth Waugh saidand Seth Waugh was the CEO of
the PGA of America when theycalled to ask him to be the
captain of the Ryder Cup teamthe first thing Seth Waugh said
was we want you to be the firstplaying captain since Arnold
Palmer you know what we can say,whatever we want, to that.
(32:41):
He needs to be on this team.
I know his assistant captains.
I know Kisner's one of them, Idon't know the other.
Graham (32:52):
It's hard, dude.
I know it's an absolute honorto be selected as captain.
100% I get that.
But and especially with thestate in which golf is around
the world and where we are inthe Ryder Cup and how we have to
(33:13):
win this year, after thedebacle of what happened in
italy two years ago, I get that,and it's crazy to say that was
two years ago already.
Scott (33:22):
man, time flies right like it lit not only that, but I
heard this hold on real quick.
Not only that, but the scrutinythat the writerder Cup captains
face win or lose.
Graham (33:39):
I agree, but I will piggyback in saying I almost
forgot the guy's name.
It came to me right now.
Scott (33:48):
Zach.
Graham (33:48):
Johnson, you and everyone else in life deserve
the consequences of your actions.
Scott (34:01):
And, like I've always said on this show, it did not
matter who Zach Johnson pickedas his captain picks.
Graham (34:09):
I don't disagree.
The.
Scott (34:11):
European team.
Graham (34:12):
I don't disagree.
It was ridiculous.
We're not being a dead horse,but I'm just going to say this
and we'll finish that portion ofthis conversation you can't
pick your team and not have thempractice for seven, eight weeks
prior to the event.
That is the dumbest, like.
I don't care if you have thefive, which we did, we had the
(34:34):
number one, two, three, four,five best players in the world.
If you don't play together, youjust can't tell players like,
oh, practice on your own ifyou're giving people that much
time off.
Dude, scotty scheffler said itat the beginning of the week, or
maybe before the week evenstarted.
I saw an interview where hebasically was talking about they
(34:57):
were talking about him becausethere was a question where it
was just like did you hear thecomment about how Scheffler had
to delete his Venmo account?
Yes that's hilarious, which ismoney.
Scott (35:10):
Wow, espn actually updated the Ryder Cup standings.
All right, hit me with it.
All right, top six right nowSteffler, zander Spahn, russell
Henley, bryson, justin ThomasTop six.
They're automatic on the teamas of right now.
Then you go seven Morikawa,eight, eight Ben Griffin, nine,
(35:36):
captain Keegan, 10 Harris, 11Maverick Menealy, 12 Brian
Harmon, 13 Novak, 14 Cantley, 15Sam Burns, 16 Tom Hoagie and 17
Cameron Young I'm just going tostop there and 17 Cameron Young
, I'm just going to stop there.
So we got six automaticqualifiers and then you got six
(36:03):
captain picks.
I can tell you right nowguarantee you more Cowlick on
the team, guarantee you BenGriffin's on the team.
He's been playing lights outand I would like to go out and
say guaranteed, patrick Cantleyat 14 is on the team, sam Burns
(36:25):
is on the team and Cam Young ison the team.
So what I was going to say is no.
No offense to Andrew Novak.
He's had a hell of a two years.
No offense to Brian Harmon,major winner, but we are playing
(36:48):
at Bethpage.
Brian Harmon can't even hit afairway there.
He can't reach the fairway.
Graham (36:56):
Look, you don't have to be I'm trying to think the most
polite way of saying this, but,like you, don't have to be the
sharpest tool in the shed torealize Brian Harmon at Bethpage
probably not the best choice.
Probably not the best choice,probably.
So what I wanted to say earlieris this I'm aware that just the
(37:20):
honor of being asked to coachor be the captain is what it is.
I get that, and Keegan'salready played on previous Ryder
Cups.
I get that.
And what it would mean ifKeegan stayed, I get that.
Scott (37:35):
But Keegan stayed.
I get that, but Keegan is now,after this win, keegan's seventh
in the world.
Graham (37:41):
That's what I'm saying.
Like you have to go back onyour previous statement, you
have to renege on what you said.
Do you think he felt when hesaid that, like oh yeah, I'm not
gonna be a playing captain,like he probably is?
Like look, I'm just gonna saythis I need to trust my game to
(38:03):
see if it would even get to thatpoint, and that's the right.
He said what he needed to say.
I get that.
But the transition of what youjust said of having him play and
bringing in tiger you knowtiger's going to be a part of it
, even though if he's anofficial assistant captain or or
(38:24):
whatever have him slide inright, have keegan play, get the
dub, and then you don't thinkthey'll come right back around
and give the captain's pick toKeegan again, if not the
following or the next Ryder Cupafter that?
Scott (38:43):
I don't know if you saw the interview after the event,
but they asked him about it.
They said I know you said youwould only be playing a playing
captain if you earned it onpoints, but have you convinced
yourself that you would be beplaying a playing captain if you
earned it on points, but haveyou convinced yourself that you
would be an addition to thisteam?
Graham (38:58):
now Deegan's response best response ever go USA of
course, dude, he's gonna likewhether he's gonna be a playing
captain or not he would be thefirst plane captain since Arnold
in 1963.
Scott (39:20):
Does he deserve to be there?
Absolutely Facts.
I don't think he.
I don't know, I don't know ifhe's going to do it.
Graham (39:29):
I'll say this, and I think you would agree with me.
I'll say this, and I think youwould agree with me.
If he decides not to, I reallythink it would be something
he'll regret after it's over,regardless, if they win or lose,
(39:52):
but if they do lose way more,way more.
Scott (39:55):
Yeah, I agree with you.
Like I said earlier, he is oneof the top 12 people that should
be represented in the country,especially at best page.
He's from New Hampshire, he's aNortheastern guy.
Played Beth Page a milliontimes.
Graham (40:11):
That's what I'm saying.
Bring in Tiger.
Scott (40:15):
At some point, players like Scheffler and Shoffley are
going to ask to be there.
Graham (40:21):
Or he'll be a player's captain.
He could do that too, but I dolike how you were saying they
need to bring in Tiger.
Scott (40:28):
He said no when they asked him to be the captain.
Graham (40:32):
I just I don't get it.
Why, Like I don't think it'ssomething we would ever know, I
mean, that's something maybe youknow.
Yeah, you can't tell me.
Even if that is the case, areyou really telling me the face
of golf is not going to fuckingbe there Because you know
Jordan's going to be there?
Scott (40:54):
Yeah, when Keegan's a Jordan ambassador, that's what
I'm saying.
Graham (40:57):
You're telling me Jordan and Tiger are not going to show
up on the jet.
All right, guys, I got you.
Scott (41:04):
I'm looking at the assistant captains Jim Furyk,
webb Simpson, snedeker andKisner.
Graham (41:11):
Wow, webb Simpson's, a name I haven't heard in a while.
I like the guy, I'm just sayingI haven't heard his name in a
minute.
Scott (41:18):
I don't know man, I don't know.
I want him to play.
I'm just scared about thesituation.
Graham (41:25):
He's gonna play, especially dude.
If he continues to play better,what if he makes it to Eastlake
and wait?
Is it this year that they'rechanging it or next year that
they're changing the format?
I think it's this year, I thinkit is this year?
Scott (41:43):
Yeah, but they have to do the picks and stuff before that
.
I think the points are beforethe tour championship.
I don't know.
Graham (41:54):
Look, I'm not saying he's going to go out and win the
British, but if he makes thetop 20 finish, there are there.
To your knowledge.
I know this is off the top.
I don't know if you know this.
Granted, you are a PGA guy, somaybe you should know this.
Are there more?
I would assume there's at leastone.
Are there more elevated eventsprior to the start of the FedEx
(42:17):
cup?
I think this was it.
Scott (42:20):
That's what I thought too .
Graham (42:21):
That's what man yeah.
Scott (42:24):
But I don't know, man, it's crazy, don't know what to
say.
I want him to play.
Not sure if he is, butespecially after what happened
last year.
Yeah, when he didn't get picked.
When he didn't get picked, yeahoh fuck.
He was crushed in the wholeNetflix thing and Brian Harmon
was there.
Yeah, but he qualified, youknow.
(42:48):
I guess as we transition.
I guess, I guess as wetransition.
I guess, you know we haven'tdone a hot chick of the episode
for a while.
Graham (42:59):
Oh hot chick of the week .
Scott (43:02):
Yeah, I'm just going to go out there and keep it with
Captain Keegan, his wife Jillian.
Graham (43:17):
If you don't know, look her up.
Scott (43:19):
Yo did you see what Brooks Koepka posted.
Oh dude, His wife dancingaround with her boobs all
hanging out.
I mean, she's a whore dude.
Graham (43:29):
Hey, she paid good money for those boobs, all right.
Scott (43:32):
Yeah, that's why our hot chick of the week is Keegan's
wife, because she's all natural.
I mean, come on, what's her lot, jillian, something?
I'm looking it up right now.
I mean, just Google her, you'rewelcome.
(43:53):
Anyhow, let's transition NBAgame seven.
I mean we're 46 minutes in andwe haven't even talked about it.
Number one, because it was alame ass game.
Seven, yeah, but the one thingI got to throw out there I mean
it was a close game Albertanwent down with an Achilles
(44:15):
injury and then I saw this dudeand then I was just like, oh my
God, sports, like we always saythe greatest reality show ever.
Every player who tore theirAchilles in this year's playoffs
wore the number zero.
Graham (44:33):
Wow, this is amazing how people can find similarities in
something that's just socompletely like ironic, is it?
Scott (44:47):
Damon Lillard yeah, and then the dude from the Celtics
yeah, every one of them were thenumber zero.
Graham (44:58):
Jason Tatum.
Scott (45:00):
Tatum, dude, like, really .
And as we talk aboutprofessional basketball, the
most entertaining thing I sawthis week in professional
basketball was my girl, sophieCunningham.
Yo, dude, have you seen whatshe's doing right now?
(45:21):
Just because she stuck up forCaitlyn?
Graham (45:26):
Yeah.
Scott (45:28):
Her jersey sold out.
Yeah, she has a millionfollowers on TikTok and 840,000
new followers on Instagram.
Graham (45:37):
I mean sounds to me like she should be the hot chick of
the week, because yo she's, Iain't gonna lie, she's kind of
sexy, she's close, but For beingas tall as you, I mean.
Scott (45:51):
I mean, Anyhow, Game 7, you're the NBA guy.
I mean.
The most exciting news out ofthe NBA today was Durant getting
traded.
That was more exciting thanGame 7.
Graham (46:06):
Yeah, wow, hiccups.
A couple of things.
One Wow, I really do got thehiccups the NBA Finals.
They did not disappoint.
The NBA finals, they did notdisappoint.
They went to seven games.
(46:27):
Am I shocked?
A thousand percent, obviously,because I said they went in five
.
What I will say is this I knowthe season's awards already came
out already, but coach of theyear should be hands down.
Be wreck Carlisle.
And if you don't know, that'sthe coach of the Pacers.
The guy that won was the coachfrom Cleveland, kenny Atkinson,
(46:55):
who he led Cleveland to thenumber one overall seed bro.
And this year like they, and,and even last year they won
almost 70 games.
No, they won like 68 gamesDeserving.
I cannot remember, in the 30years that I've been watching
(47:23):
the NBA, of a finals like thisone.
You have a team in OKC thatstatistically what they did over
the regular season, theyabsolutely dominated the NBA,
and what I mean by that?
They lost 14 games out of 82.
That's pretty good, consideringthe best record is 73 and nine
(47:47):
five games off, that's prettygood.
Yeah, they won, and this iswhere it's just leaps and bounds
over everyone else.
They won 30 games in theregular season by 20 or more
(48:10):
points.
Folks, there's only 82 games ina season.
Think about it.
I don't have the stats in frontof me, but I would say they won
50 games by at least 10 points.
That's unreal how the OKC wentthrough the Western Conference
and just annihilated all theteams.
(48:30):
You're like, wow, they're goingto make light work of the
Pacers, light work.
Then they get to the finals andyou're just like, wait, what?
What just happened happened itwas bad yeah, it's not that it
was bad.
It was this.
For the first time in a longtime you can make a distinction
(48:56):
between a team that is coachedthe right way, and I don't want
to say versus the wrong way.
Okc coach still did an amazingjob, but what I'm saying is the
game plan in which Rick Carlislehad for his Pacers in the
finals against OKC and how hegot them ready to play is bar
(49:19):
none.
Coach of the year.
The OKC was favored minus 900to win the series.
Yeah, they finally won in sevengames.
So you cash.
But how many people werefeeling happy if they took OKC
to win the series?
Scott (49:37):
Well, I can tell you right now one better.
Mgm in Vegas wagered 1.5million on the Thunder to win
the finals at minus $700.
It was a sweat, but he cast$150,000.
Graham (49:52):
You got to bet $1.5 to win $150,000.
Oof, right, yeah, especiallybecause if Halliburton doesn't
go down, do we have the sameoutcome he goes down and Pacers
kept plugging away.
They had to leave at halftimewhich is why the tenacity of the
coaching staff and how heimplemented the offense.
(50:15):
I just got out of all this.
I'm going to eat crow on thiskudos to the Indiana Pacers.
I did not think that was goingto happen, obviously with the
bet.
I'm going to eat crow on thisKudos to the Indiana Pacers.
I did not think that was goingto happen, obviously with the
bet.
But I'm just saying I reallyfeel like they opened the eyes
of a lot of people in the NBAand good for them, and the thing
that sucks is they're screwedgoing into next year.
(50:37):
Why is that?
Scott (50:39):
Halliburton, achilles.
Graham (50:41):
Yeah, it doesn't help.
Scott (50:43):
He might not play until the playoffs.
Graham (50:46):
Yeah, but to be fair, since with the plan now, with 10
games and there's only 15 teamsin these conferences, I could
let that go.
But it's all about chemistry ofthe team and that's one thing I
will say.
I have never seen a teamchemistry like what the Pacers
had this year, how they playedoffense, how they played defense
(51:09):
, how they played as a team, theeffort, like I honestly say
I've never seen a team play withas much effort than what the
Pacers did.
And, to be honest, if I wasanother team, that white boy, tj
McConnell and I'm not sayingthat talking shit, but that dude
, the effort that he showed inthese playoffs, especially in
(51:32):
the finals, this is a dude thataverages four points a game.
If I was another GM bring,bring, bring.
Yeah, it's the pacer, generalmanager, I'm thinking about
offering you X amount of dollarsbecause I want to get him on my
team.
Scott (51:49):
Hey, I'm thinking about this guy on your team.
Graham (51:51):
I want to bring him over , and why would he not get paid,
have a chance to go somewhereelse?
I mean, I get it Kudos to theIndiana Pacers.
That's all I can say.
Scott (52:05):
Just hand clap hey they made it a series.
Graham (52:09):
They lost you 200 bucks.
No one in the San Diego Leaguelistens to this podcast.
Scott (52:18):
Not until I send this to him.
Graham (52:28):
Your boy doesn't have a job over here and you're kicking
him all these down.
Scott (52:34):
I'm sorry wow wow, you also got some hiccups going
crazy Dude like five minutes.
Graham (52:43):
I need to stop.
Scott (52:44):
I know.
Graham (52:45):
Anyhow.
Scott (52:46):
It's been annoying as shit.
Most annoying thing in theworld, by the way, are the
hiccups.
Oh, facts as he goes, facts,facts, facts.
And that homeboy in the bluesweatshirt has some hiccups all
the time.
Oh god, dang, listen to thisshit.
I'm about to make a real out ofyou hiccup.
(53:07):
Anyhow, graham, another funnight, another fun episode.
Agreed, I'm proud to be thecoach of the Patriots.
Can't believe I said thatYou're a Patriots fan.
No, my flag team were thePatriots.
Graham (53:29):
I know, I know I'm just messing with you.
Scott (53:31):
And couldn't be prouder of the boys they battled.
It's not their fault.
They got shafted and it is whatit is.
Man, Like I said, coach thesekids forever.
They're young men right now andI'm pumped for them.
We won Me as a coach.
(53:53):
I'm not excited, Kellen's notexcited.
Graham (53:58):
You know How's the D coach feel?
Same as me, dude I.
Scott (54:03):
I figured I just wanted to ask he texted me once I got
home and he goes what a bunch ofbitches.
And I'm like coach could notagree more and this is a dude
that you know.
He played division one football,got a scholarship and when we
were talking that to the boys atthe end of the game, you know
(54:26):
he looked at kellen and he goeslook, you're a stud, do your
thing, get on the field, workhard.
It was awesome.
He was like work hard, you cango places in this game.
Girls will always be there.
Everybody out there in highschool football is good.
You got to work harder to begreat and Kellen loves him and
(54:53):
bought into his system.
And you know Kellen's goinginto ninth grade, going to play
JV, and I told the coach I'mlike you played football, I know
offense, I want him to play.
I told him to tell his coachand JV to run the ball and play
(55:16):
linebacker.
And he goes dude, just be onthe field, be a football player.
Graham (55:21):
Yeah, I mean most of the time in high school.
If kids are fortunate to makeit to the highest level, they're
not even playing the sameposition, Like there's D Lyman
in the league that playedrunning back in high school
Exactly.
Scott (55:36):
So, like Coach, told him, he goes.
Dude, I was a defensive back,switched to running back in my
sophomore, junior and seniorseason.
I ran for 3000 yards every year.
He goes.
You got to work harder andKellen likes him.
You know, I was talking to himtonight.
(55:58):
The coach and I'm like yo.
Kellen bought into your system.
He appreciates you, he respectsyou.
I'm going to hook Kellen upwith you in the offseason and
help you work with him on hisfootwork.
Graham (56:13):
And he's like dude.
Scott (56:13):
Whatever I can do to help and Kellen's fired up, Fired up
, and that's all I care about ishim being fired up.
Graham (56:22):
Of course.
Scott (56:24):
That's the only reason I did it.
You know, that's the onlyreason I did it.
Graham (56:27):
Yeah.
Scott (56:28):
Coach my son.
Graham (56:29):
Yeah.
Scott (56:30):
And, like I told you earlier, I'm posting a thing on
Instagram.
I'm reading it and Chris Benand I literally break down in
tears and she's like why thehell are you crying?
I'm like I love doing this.
I love running out on the fieldwith them, boys, I love being
in the huddle talking shit,going for one instead of two,
and I'm like this team's sostupid.
(56:51):
If you go for one, you can'trun the ball.
I'm like we're still throwing aplay action at them.
They're too dumb to realize it.
And what happens when you getit?
I love it, dude.
But anyhow, Graham, fun episode, Fun, weird day for both of us.
(57:12):
That's why we're here.
Graham (57:15):
That it is Right.
Look, I'll just finish it withthis.
As you were going off on yourrand, you were talking about it.
Even though right now we're noton video, I could see it.
Eventually the others will seeit, like I could see the sadness
in your face when I was talkingabout it.
You know what I mean, it's justlike I get it.
(57:36):
You know what I mean and it's aprivilege and an honor to do
this with you.
You know I love you to deathand I love Kellen to death as
well, and obviously happyanniversary to you and Kristen
as well.

Yeah, you know what.
Keep on forgetting.
You're a barrel of laughs overhere.
You know weekend's been good.

the sun.
Not much going on over hereexcept work sucks.
But how about you, brother?
How was your weekend?
Scott (02:04):
The weekend went good, had off yesterday my niece's
birthday party, went over to thesister-in-law's, did that whole
ordeal, came home, drank somebeer, had some cocktails,
watched some sports and, youknow, today was the team that I
coach Dillon's team flagfootball playoffs.
(02:25):
Finally, it's about time.
After two weeks of weatherdelays.
Right and dude.
Let's just say you know, firstgame semifinals, we're the two
seed playing the three seed.
You saw the video.
We dominated one.
I don't know, we only gave upone touchdown.
I don't even know what thescore was.
(02:52):
That matters the video.
Another episode we dominated allguys on the bench.
It was hotter than hogs balls,dude.
It was ridiculous.
We only had seven players.
You know to go out there andplay and you know we're trying
to rest them all for thechampionship game against mr
blue sweatshirt, which the whichthe championship game is
supposed to start literallyright after the semifinal game
and we win the game.
We're sitting there talking tothe kids and we're all looking
(03:14):
around and we're like where arethe commanders?
Where are the commanders?
Nobody can see them.
And I walk over to the leagueofficial and I'm like the
commanders are nowhere to befound and she's like, oh yeah,
they left.
They're playing in a nationalflag football tournament next
(03:36):
week in Ohio and they wereafraid you guys were going to
hurt them.
So they forfeited and you guyswin the trophy.
Graham (03:42):
What?
All right, hold on.
Let's back up a second.
I know you threw out thecomment of the blue sweatshirt
guy For the people that don'tlisten to us all the time.
Just refresh us on who we'retalking about here.
Scott (03:53):
If you don't understand the reference of blue sweatshirt
, which I had to explain earliertoday to Aiden, go back to
episode 155, at the nine minutemark.
You'll learn all about.
You'll learn all about that fatfuck Dude.
We got our first trophy sinceI've been coaching, but you know
(04:16):
what it sucks.
It sucks.
The team earned the right toplay in the championship game
and because this dude and hisother coaches are weak, they
were scared and they didn't wantto play us because they were
(04:36):
afraid that we were going tohurt them.
And they're playing in anational flag football
tournament.
Okay, listen to that nationalflag football tournament.
Okay, listen to that Nationalflag football tournament.
So what does that mean to you?
Oh, that I was right.
They're illegally practicingduring the week.
Okay, I gave them credit acouple weeks ago, saying they
(04:57):
were good and they were, andthey didn't huddle up.
And I even brought up JoshMcDaniels, sean Payton,
kingsbury you did, but now itall makes sense, but to rip that
away from my kids that earn theright to play in a championship
game, that's bullshit, dude,absolute bullshit.
(05:21):
And it you're a weak individualand if you knew you weren't
going to play us which you knewwe were going to win our first
game and play you in thechampionship game?
Right, then why don't you justannounce it before the fact?
Because now the team that youplayed in the semifinals gets
hosed.
Not only that, the team thatfinished as the five seed they
(05:43):
don't make the playoffs.
You should have just bowed outand taken your fat ass to you
know the salad bar and eaten asalad and gone on a diet before
your trip to Ohio.
I mean, what a bitch dude.
What a bitch Like on the wayhome.
Kellen's like yeah, I know wewon the championship, but, dad,
(06:05):
I wanted to feel the nerves ofplaying in a championship game.
I agree 100%.
I would have rather lost a goodgame and came in second place
than get the trophy like this.
Facts, it's bullshit.
It's bullshit, dude.
Facts, absolute bullshit.
You and all of our listenersknow how much I wanted this.
(06:27):
Oh, number one, because it mayor may not be my last year
coaching, because some otherthings, but I wanted it for
kellen.
I got emotional tonight talkingto kristin about it.
I love going out there.
Yeah, I love going out therewith my son.
I love going out there withColton.
I love going out there withShane.
(06:48):
I sent you the picture from thefirst game we ever played
together four years ago, andthese kids look like little
babies To now and, like I put inmy Instagram post, I'll share
it on Ball Guys.
They've become amazing footballplayers, but the crazy part is
they've become young men andI've gotten to be a part of that
(07:09):
and I've gotten texts fromShane's dad and Colton's mom
saying we're forever gratefulthat you were their coach and
you've been there week in andweek out.
I wanted to win it the real way, dude.
Graham (07:23):
Facts.
Scott (07:25):
Not.
Hey, we walk over to the leagueofficial and that stupid bitch
goes hey, how many people do youhave on your team?
Here are your eight trophies.
The league doesn't even give usa proper ceremony.
Hey, patriots, you win thechampionship.
They're just like here.
You go Like kick rocks.
Nfl flag football the biggestjoke on the planet.
(07:49):
They charge a shit ton of money, they throw the NFL logo out
there and they think they can dowhatever the fuck they want
because they throw that outthere.
They give you an hour topractice before the game and
then you got a travel team overhere playing in a nationwide
event that practices six times.
(08:09):
Okay, okay.
Well, how about this bluesweatshirt?
You non-salad-eating piece ofshit?
My team put up 28 points onyour boys and you're a national
tournament guy.
You ain't good.
Go kick rocks.
And you know what?
And TP said it tonight when Iseen the picture of me in the
trophy at least I could fit inmy goddamn red shirt.
(08:32):
You fat piece of shit.
I mean you pussy.
You ripped this away from mykids because you were scared.
You were scared.
Some of these kids will neverplay football again, ever.
They'll never be in achampionship game again.
And you took that away fromthem because you were scared and
(08:55):
because you don't care aboutanything but you eating a bunch
of fried foods.
We all know you don't like toeat salad.
I mean, what's that place inCalifornia?
Salad Soup plantation, soupplantation?
Yeah, you need to bring one ofthose goddamn things to Virginia
beach, you fat piece of shit.
I mean, come on.
Graham (09:15):
Oh, I miss that place.
Scott (09:17):
So you know your boy wins by default and it sucks.
You know it sucks.
I wanted to be excited about it.
You know I am whatever, but I'mbummed dude look, it sucks, I
totally get it.
Graham (09:35):
When I texted you earlier and you shot me a
picture of the chip of the cupor your trophy, I should say I'm
looking at it, I'm looking atthe time and I'm like, even with
, even with the three-hour timedifference, I was like this
seems early.
I'm like, did the league screwwith you again and go back on
the time that they wanted tostart?
Like I was just so confused andthen when you told me what had
(09:55):
happened, I'm like, wait, what?
What?
I mean?
Look, obviously I feel terribleabout the situation for you,
callan, and the rest of yourteam.
I mean, yeah, congratulations.
You guys did win, but I mean youwanted to do it in the right
way.
I'm aware that some parentsother parents didn't take likely
(10:20):
to the situation that unfoldedand maybe they're voicing their
opinions on other platforms suchas that.
But I'll say this I have noproblem using this platform to
help show the discrepancies inwhich that organization is run.
Like if we need to make a clipfrom this episode and send it to
whoever it needs to be sent to,like the league.
(10:42):
Roger goodell, who not that Isay has anything to do with this
specifically, but I'm justsaying like he's an oversight of
an oversight of an oversight, Iget that, but if people found
out that that's how the leagueis run, especially and look, I
get it, virginia is a bigfootball market.
Like there's a lot of stars andplayers that come out of your
(11:02):
area.
If that gets out how it'smismanaged, maybe the right
people can be put in thesituation so this doesn't happen
.
Because, thinking back on iteven just now, the team that
quote-unquote forfeited and left.
We said to each other well, whywould they play the first game?
Well, they wanted to get apractice in for themselves 100%,
(11:24):
dude.
Scott (11:25):
And the thing that sucks, we hadn't played a game, bro,
since that one a long time ago,because of the rain out.
I haven't even seen my boys,dude, since that game.
And you know they've practicedfour times, five times, six
times.
You know, but you know what it,what it is.
We did it the right way, theydid it the wrong way and you
(11:50):
know I've sent numerous emailsto the league officials and that
you know, bitch Leonard Stevens, that owns our league.
Now he doesn't even reply, bro,he has his secretary reply.
And, yeah, I'm calling you out,leonard Stevens.
Yeah, you Bald guys on thebench.
(12:10):
Why don't you man up and call aboy back?
Because you won't.
You know why?
Because you suck, just like theemail I sent you yesterday.
Your league is a joke since youbought it.
Perfect performance flag.
Yeah, perfect performance beesnuts.
Because you suck.
You have no clue.
You don't have a clue if afootball's stuffed or inflated.
(12:32):
All you're doing is collectingmy goddamn money and going
cha-ching, cha-ching.
Oh, let me pay $12 for amouthpiece.
Venmo, leonard Stevens.
You know what?
Shut up, bro.
Go kick rocks.
I pay a shit ton of money.
Guaranteed five regular seasongames.
If you don't make the playoffs,you get a consolation game.
You know ran out.
What happens?
(12:52):
Oh, that game canceled.
I sent an email.
Oh, what's Leonard Stevens do?
Oh, let's, let me have mysecretary email.
This guy back, dude.
I mean kick rocks, bro.
I mean you don't have a clue.
You know, maybe you should bedriving a fucking garbage truck
or something like that.
Maybe you can.
I mean, that's pretty easy.
Hey, there's garbage on theside of the road, let's throw it
in the goddamn truck.
(13:14):
Ding, ding, ding ding, you don'thave to use your fucking brain,
you moron.
Anyhow, I don't know, dude, itsucks Anyhow, I don't know, dude
, it sucks.
I'm pissed, but we won.
And you know, I don't know,dude, it is what it is.
It's just all that to come downlike that.
(13:35):
Like I said earlier, I wouldhave rather lost in a close game
than get handed the trophywithout playing a game 100% I
mean, and that's what a truecompetitor should feel like.
Graham (13:47):
You know what I mean?
Oh, here you go.
T Nah, I want to win this shit.
That, plus the fact that afterlast game and how it basically
got called off when they'restill in the third, is absolute
ridiculousness.
I mean just the angst ofwanting to get revenge on that
game, regardless if it was forthe championship or not.
(14:09):
I'm sure you wouldn't have mindif it was just another regular
season game.
You just wanted to play them,to beat them and wipe that
shit-eating grin off their faces.
Scott (14:18):
I wanted them again.
Dude, 100%, I wanted them again.
Graham (14:24):
And as you should, but as you should, I mean, I wanted
them again and as you should,but as you should.
Scott (14:26):
I mean, I ain't scared.
Graham (14:30):
No at all, Folks.
You're listening to the newcommissioner of the South
Virginia, whatever conference,blah, blah, blah.
No, dude, I don't want my nameassociated with that fucking
bullshit.
Scott (14:44):
I mean I'll, I'll respond to my own emails, I don't need
my secretary to do it.
When some dude's calling me out, I mean come on, dude, I don't
know, I guess, I guess thesecretary doesn't know if the
ball's stuffed or inflatedeither oh, she probably has a
more bigger clue than thatleonard stevens piece of shit.
I mean the the coach's official, you know, zoom, meeting before
(15:08):
the season starts.
Oh, here's my cell phone number.
If you have any kind of issue,you know, reach out to me.
Graham (15:15):
I'm still waiting for a call back yeah, I reach out if
everything that we're reachingout for you don't respond to.
It's like it's another thing.
It's like how are some rulesfor some people and other rules
are not for the rest of theleague?
Like I just don't.
And then my assistant coach, hegoes.
Scott (15:34):
This is hilarious, I didn't even tell you this.
He texts me and we're all nightlong.
He goes, dude.
The ref today seemed hungover,honestly.
He basically told me on thesideline that he sometimes lets
calls go for teams that arelosing bad what and I'm like
okay.
and then I'm like it's funny.
We did a play in the first gameand, unfortunately, two people
(15:57):
were in motion.
You're only allowed to have oneperson in motion.
I'm like it's funny you saythat because they had three guys
in motion twice, he never threwa flag telling the touchdown
run at the beginning of the gameshould have been called back
because he jumped about halfwaythrough his run.
I was like, damn it, you gotlucky.
And he responds yeah, hedefinitely jumped 100%.
This is what you're dealingwith, dude.
(16:19):
I mean, I don't know, man, I'msorry I got heated, I'm sorry I
threw F-bombs, but you know, Idon't know if I'm going to coach
next year.
It sounds like we are, but ifnot, I'm going down in history
just like Bill Walsh and JoeGibbs, dude winning the
championship and retiring.
Graham (16:38):
You know, Bill.
Scott (16:39):
Cowher.
Bill Cowher won his last seasonand retired, didn't he?
Graham (16:44):
There you go.
Scott (16:46):
I mean, just put my name right there with him.
You're welcome and you knowwhat.
I did it the right way.
I didn't do it the cheating,scandalous way, like Fat Boy in
the blue sweatshirt walking offthe sidelines.
Oh, we're going to forfeitbecause we're afraid they're
(17:08):
going to hurt us.
Yeah, you're damn right.
My boy Shane, my boy Colton, myson Kellen, we don't take no
shit.
Ain't backing down to nobody,motherfucker.
Ain't backing down to nobody,motherfucker.
(17:30):
And just as I say, that OKCwins by 12.
Graham (17:34):
Damn, I knew I should have live bet that when they
were up 20.
Scott (17:38):
I knew I should have taken that.
Nba champions.
Wow, once again, your boy's ayear late, remember?
I called him last year.
You did.
I don't know if I called him towin it, I called him to win the
West.
Whatever, it's not important.
Whatever, nobody cares.
Everybody's still thinkingabout blue sweatshirt yeah, mr
(18:11):
Blue Sweatshirt, when it's 90degrees and 70 out there.
Bro, I'm gonna tell you rightnow I'm looking up what
tournament is in ohio for flagfootball and I'm finding out his
name and I'm gonna find him onsocial media and I'm gonna send
him this fucking episode.
And I'm going to send him thisfucking episode and I, literally
, on the way to the game, on theway to the game today, hold
that thought.
On the way to the game today, Itold Kellen I'm like hey, when
(18:34):
we end up playing them, I needyou to behave Like, I don't need
you to lose your shit.
I told Shane the same thing,because the only people I had to
worry about were Kellen, shaneand Colton, the three amigos,
the three OGs that have been onmy team since day one, right?
And Kellen's like well, dad,what if he says something to me?
(18:55):
And I just literally look athim and I'm like you, just look,
literally look at him and goeat a salad, walk away.
Graham (19:03):
Yeah.
Scott (19:04):
What were you going to say?
I'm sorry I interrupted you.
Graham (19:19):
No, I was going to say, if you're going to do that much
of a dig or deep dive on theinternet or social media, find
out where it is.
Maybe you can find out wherethey're staying at, maybe you
could call the hotel and be likehey, so this is coach blah,
blah, blah.
Can you cancel my, my, oh damnmy wake up call.
Scott (19:41):
You see some fat dude walking around In a blue
sweatshirt.
Graham (19:49):
I don't know or find the other team and just find out
who they're playing and be likehey, just want to let you know
that the guys that you'replaying Did this to our team.
Take care of business, dominatethem bro.
Scott (20:01):
Dominate them Alright.
Graham (20:05):
Spins, spin, spin, spin.
Dominate them, bro, dominatethem All right.
Scott (20:07):
Spins, spin, spin spin, spin like a goddang tornado.
As much as I could talk aboutthis all night, I know we got to
move on, I mean, but you knowwhat, like TP said, he goes dude
.
The people that listen to yourshow understand this and know
how passionate you are about it.
It just sucks, dude, it sucks.
(20:32):
I agree, I mean we won it, butwe didn't win it, you know.
Graham (20:38):
I wouldn't say it's of the same caliber, but I was
listening to an episode or apodcast online on youtube and it
had, um, it was like troypalomalu, I think, ryan clark
and someone else, but they weretalking about how or maybe it
was with, uh, cam hayward.
(20:59):
It was palomalu on camhayward's podcast, but basically
they were talking about how,back in 2010, when they made the
Super Bowl and lost to thePackers which we'll let that
slide, aaron Rodgers, we'll letthat slide if you take us deep
this year they were talkingabout the fact that when you win
(21:21):
the AFC, like they got, everymember on the team got these
gold watches and a lot of theplayers on defense didn't keep
them.
They either gave them away,sold them, didn't accept them
something.
And Paulo Mello was saying hewas just like yeah, man, our
(21:43):
whole goal is to make it to thechampionship and then win it.
We were there, we lost.
So we don't feel like we'rechampions, we don't feel like we
deserve a prize, and mostpeople I know got rid of it,
cause cam's like well, do youhave your watch?
And he's like absolutely not.
He said I just happened to beat a different teammate's house
and I saw the watch because hehad it in his little case and he
(22:06):
saw it and he was just like youstill have that.
And the guy was like, yeah,well, you know, blah, blah, blah
, blah.
I mean obviously it was someonethat wasn't on the team for a
long period of time, but it'sjust like, look, getting a
trophy, and really what it is,even though technically you're a
champion, it feels like aconsolation prize, it's you know
(22:29):
what I mean?
It's almost like, yeah, okay,you gave it to me, but every
time you look at it you're justgoing to know what happened and
it's just, it's not going.
I know you, I would behard-pressed to say I don't
think you would keep that outLike, do you even?
Scott (22:53):
It's not going in the office.
Graham (22:55):
Right, like I would think it's going to stay in the
garage and like I hate sayingthat for you, but it's just like
Dude, dude.
Scott (23:03):
No, you don't hate saying it, you know me.
Graham (23:05):
Yeah, yeah.
Scott (23:09):
Like I said earlier, dude , those kids were stripped from
playing in a championship game,and that's what sucks, right?
That's the thing that hurts myheart the most.
Graham (23:23):
Oh 100%.
Scott (23:25):
You know it was hotter than Hades.
We were three people down.
We're throwing seven people outthere.
Kellen was sick as a dog and,like I told you earlier, after
halftime, going into the secondhalf, kellen's like I need a
breather.
If he's asking me for abreather, I know he ain't right.
Right, and you know, going tothe championship game did I
(23:51):
think we were going to win?
I don't know.
We would have had to playperfect with, you know, three
people out and three of thembeing studs, but everybody was
dealing with the heat you knowthe heat affects everybody.
Graham (24:08):
You know what I mean.
It's the people that can adhereto the, the outside things will
do better.
Scott (24:15):
And that's and that's what coach and I kept telling
him.
We're like, I know you're hot,we know you're tired, you gotta
be mentally strong.
And we kept telling them.
And then we turn around andthere's no commanders there.
Yeah, but anyhow, got homeearly, walked in the door, throw
on the golf you know, signatureevent in Hartford.
(24:38):
But before we even get intothat, got to throw this out.
Today, June 22nd, my 23rdwedding anniversary.
Graham (24:50):
That should have been in the beginning of the show.
Scott (24:52):
I know, but you know how ready I was to unleash.
Graham (24:56):
I know, but Kristen ain't listening at the 25 minute
mark.
Scott (25:00):
Oh, I'll play it back for her.
You know, happy anniversary,kristen.
23 years, two kids in highschool, bro, I mean, wow, it's
crazy, crazy thing about.
But hartford travelerssignature event the week after
(25:22):
oakmont.
Hey, hey, tour players, I knowyou just got your dick kicked in
last week at oakmont but hey,here comes a signature event
with no cut, thank god, god anddid.
Our boy Fowler Went out, shoteven the first day, played
terrible the second day.
Then throws out a 64.
(25:43):
No bogeys yesterday, let's go.
Ends up finishing T36.
But you know the news of thetournament, bro.
Fleetwood never won on the PGATour.
Plays the last two holes of theevent, last three holes, two
(26:09):
over and he's got a one-shotlead playing the 72nd hole.
And Captain America, keeganBradley, ryder cup captain, who
we talked about last week, goesout there and hits it.
Dig tight on the 72nd hole.
Yeah, he would miss the missesthe green to the point where he
can putt it.
And Fleetwood is first putt.
(26:33):
And this putt was so bad he wasoutside of Keegan's birdie putt
.
We know what happens Fleetwoodmisses, keegan makes it Dude.
Graham (26:49):
It's tough to miss a six-footer when you see the line
, when you're that good numberone.
Number two I know we've talkedabout him in the past, and by
him I'm referring to Fleetwood.
Scott (27:05):
I wanted him to win until he started shitting the bed
today.
Graham (27:09):
Right, no 100%.
Scott (27:12):
Remember, I texted you yesterday.
Graham (27:13):
I'm like dude.
Scott (27:13):
Fleetwood, fleetwood.
Is he finally gonna get it doneright?
And TP brought it up in a text.
As it's going on, he goes isFleetwood the current day?
Graham (27:23):
Colin Montgomery, oh what never won a PGA Tour event
oh my god, you did not just saythat won the Order of Merit over
there on the European Tour,never won a PGA Tour event.
Scott (27:36):
Oh my god, you did not just say that.
Won the Order of Merit overthere on the European Tour.
Wow, wow.
I'm a little stunned right now.
Graham (27:53):
Only because what I was just about to say not that I was
going to say that, but it wasto the reference of.
We've been talking aboutFleetwood for ever since we've
been doing the podcast, and evenprior to the podcast.
Fleetwood is a great player,not just a good player, he is a
great player.
And for someone to consistentlybe in the top 30 for how many
(28:18):
years?
Scott (28:18):
now Five at least the kids that I teach.
I tell them study Fleetwoodsgolf swing.
Oh it's beautiful.
That's what you want your golfswing to look like.
Graham (28:31):
I just, you know you just that colin montgomery
comment just took me.
Wow, I hope not, but I mean wow, I think he's a better player
than him word for word.
Scott (28:52):
Tp goes is Fleetwood this generation's Colin Montgomery?
I know Colin never won a major,but he never won on the PGA
Tour also.
Graham (29:01):
Yeah, but Montgomery was winning a bunch of tournaments
on the European Tour.
Scott (29:07):
Same as Fleetwood.
Graham (29:09):
Yeah, but isn't Fleetwood playing more events
here?
He plays both, Look I.
Scott (29:18):
Dude.
Graham (29:19):
The worst part is, I mean, I don't know if it's the
bias of being someone from theUnited States, but when you're
the home country for certainsports where we're the best.
So what I mean by that is, likethe PGA tour is the creme de la
(29:42):
creme, the NBA is the creme dela creme.
You know, other countries arecreme de la creme of other
sports.
Like I get that we're nothockey, even though we haven't
had a Canadian team win in 30fucking years.
But that's not, that's not.
That's not the point.
Um, I'm just saying, if the pgatour is the toppy, top, top,
(30:04):
why, like I don't know, I Iguess where I'm going with this.
It's like I I know what you'regoing.
Scott (30:12):
You were gutted for Tommy Fleetwood yeah, I mean like and
I was too.
Graham (30:16):
He deserves it, but it's just like it's gutted, but it's
also like you know he's good.
You don't want to take awayfrom the fact that he hasn't won
or that he plays on the tour,because I mean, don't get me
wrong I guarantee you there'smore than a handful of players
that play on the European Tourthat if they had a chance to
(30:39):
play on the PGA Tour they couldget dubs it would.
You know what I mean.
The PGA Tour, it's all aboutbeing in the right place at the
right time to get availabilityto get on the tour.
Time to get availability to geton the tour.
I mean, you know that wholedrama but, that being said, I
just you know, when you comparehim to Colin Montgomery, I'm
(31:02):
just wow, you really.
You're kind of leaving me alittle speechless on it.
I don't know what to say.
Scott (31:08):
Good and the question of all questions at this point.
We all know Keegan is thecaptain of the Ryder Cup team.
Right Going into this event Ithink he was 17th on Ryder Cup
point standings and he alwayssaid he's not going to pick
(31:29):
himself.
But they haven't updated thestanding right now.
But you can't name 12 playersbetter than him to represent the
United States in the Ryder Cupand, like TP said, I didn't even
(31:53):
think about this.
This is amazing.
What's like TP said, I didn'teven think about this, this is
amazing.
What's understated is Tiger notaccepting being the captain at
Bethpage and Keegan accepting itafter Tiger said no.
Because Keegan said tonight inhis press conference he goes.
(32:14):
The first thing Seth Waugh saidand Seth Waugh was the CEO of
the PGA of America when theycalled to ask him to be the
captain of the Ryder Cup teamthe first thing Seth Waugh said
was we want you to be the firstplaying captain since Arnold
Palmer you know what we can say,whatever we want, to that.
(32:41):
He needs to be on this team.
I know his assistant captains.
I know Kisner's one of them, Idon't know the other.
Graham (32:52):
It's hard, dude.
I know it's an absolute honorto be selected as captain.
100% I get that.
But and especially with thestate in which golf is around
the world and where we are inthe Ryder Cup and how we have to
(33:13):
win this year, after thedebacle of what happened in
italy two years ago, I get that,and it's crazy to say that was
two years ago already.
Scott (33:22):
man, time flies right like it lit not only that, but I
heard this hold on real quick.
Not only that, but the scrutinythat the writerder Cup captains
face win or lose.
Graham (33:39):
I agree, but I will piggyback in saying I almost
forgot the guy's name.
It came to me right now.
Scott (33:48):
Zach.
Graham (33:48):
Johnson, you and everyone else in life deserve
the consequences of your actions.
Scott (34:01):
And, like I've always said on this show, it did not
matter who Zach Johnson pickedas his captain picks.
Graham (34:09):
I don't disagree.
The.
Scott (34:11):
European team.
Graham (34:12):
I don't disagree.
It was ridiculous.
We're not being a dead horse,but I'm just going to say this
and we'll finish that portion ofthis conversation you can't
pick your team and not have thempractice for seven, eight weeks
prior to the event.
That is the dumbest, like.
I don't care if you have thefive, which we did, we had the
(34:34):
number one, two, three, four,five best players in the world.
If you don't play together, youjust can't tell players like,
oh, practice on your own ifyou're giving people that much
time off.
Dude, scotty scheffler said itat the beginning of the week, or
maybe before the week evenstarted.
I saw an interview where hebasically was talking about they
(34:57):
were talking about him becausethere was a question where it
was just like did you hear thecomment about how Scheffler had
to delete his Venmo account?
Yes that's hilarious, which ismoney.
Scott (35:10):
Wow, espn actually updated the Ryder Cup standings.
All right, hit me with it.
All right, top six right nowSteffler, zander Spahn, russell
Henley, bryson, justin ThomasTop six.
They're automatic on the teamas of right now.
Then you go seven Morikawa,eight, eight Ben Griffin, nine,
(35:36):
captain Keegan, 10 Harris, 11Maverick Menealy, 12 Brian
Harmon, 13 Novak, 14 Cantley, 15Sam Burns, 16 Tom Hoagie and 17
Cameron Young I'm just going tostop there and 17 Cameron Young
, I'm just going to stop there.
So we got six automaticqualifiers and then you got six
(36:03):
captain picks.
I can tell you right nowguarantee you more Cowlick on
the team, guarantee you BenGriffin's on the team.
He's been playing lights outand I would like to go out and
say guaranteed, patrick Cantleyat 14 is on the team, sam Burns
(36:25):
is on the team and Cam Young ison the team.
So what I was going to say is no.
No offense to Andrew Novak.
He's had a hell of a two years.
No offense to Brian Harmon,major winner, but we are playing
(36:48):
at Bethpage.
Brian Harmon can't even hit afairway there.
He can't reach the fairway.
Graham (36:56):
Look, you don't have to be I'm trying to think the most
polite way of saying this, but,like you, don't have to be the
sharpest tool in the shed torealize Brian Harmon at Bethpage
probably not the best choice.
Probably not the best choice,probably.
So what I wanted to say earlieris this I'm aware that just the
(37:20):
honor of being asked to coachor be the captain is what it is.
I get that, and Keegan'salready played on previous Ryder
Cups.
I get that.
And what it would mean ifKeegan stayed, I get that.
Scott (37:35):
But Keegan stayed.
I get that, but Keegan is now,after this win, keegan's seventh
in the world.
Graham (37:41):
That's what I'm saying.
Like you have to go back onyour previous statement, you
have to renege on what you said.
Do you think he felt when hesaid that, like oh yeah, I'm not
gonna be a playing captain,like he probably is?
Like look, I'm just gonna saythis I need to trust my game to
(38:03):
see if it would even get to thatpoint, and that's the right.
He said what he needed to say.
I get that.
But the transition of what youjust said of having him play and
bringing in tiger you knowtiger's going to be a part of it
, even though if he's anofficial assistant captain or or
(38:24):
whatever have him slide inright, have keegan play, get the
dub, and then you don't thinkthey'll come right back around
and give the captain's pick toKeegan again, if not the
following or the next Ryder Cupafter that?
Scott (38:43):
I don't know if you saw the interview after the event,
but they asked him about it.
They said I know you said youwould only be playing a playing
captain if you earned it onpoints, but have you convinced
yourself that you would be beplaying a playing captain if you
earned it on points, but haveyou convinced yourself that you
would be an addition to thisteam?
Graham (38:58):
now Deegan's response best response ever go USA of
course, dude, he's gonna likewhether he's gonna be a playing
captain or not he would be thefirst plane captain since Arnold
in 1963.
Scott (39:20):
Does he deserve to be there?
Absolutely Facts.
I don't think he.
I don't know, I don't know ifhe's going to do it.
Graham (39:29):
I'll say this, and I think you would agree with me.
I'll say this, and I think youwould agree with me.
If he decides not to, I reallythink it would be something
he'll regret after it's over,regardless, if they win or lose,
(39:52):
but if they do lose way more,way more.
Scott (39:55):
Yeah, I agree with you.
Like I said earlier, he is oneof the top 12 people that should
be represented in the country,especially at best page.
He's from New Hampshire, he's aNortheastern guy.
Played Beth Page a milliontimes.
Graham (40:11):
That's what I'm saying.
Bring in Tiger.
Scott (40:15):
At some point, players like Scheffler and Shoffley are
going to ask to be there.
Graham (40:21):
Or he'll be a player's captain.
He could do that too, but I dolike how you were saying they
need to bring in Tiger.
Scott (40:28):
He said no when they asked him to be the captain.
Graham (40:32):
I just I don't get it.
Why, Like I don't think it'ssomething we would ever know, I
mean, that's something maybe youknow.
Yeah, you can't tell me.
Even if that is the case, areyou really telling me the face
of golf is not going to fuckingbe there Because you know
Jordan's going to be there?
Scott (40:54):
Yeah, when Keegan's a Jordan ambassador, that's what
I'm saying.
Graham (40:57):
You're telling me Jordan and Tiger are not going to show
up on the jet.
All right, guys, I got you.
Scott (41:04):
I'm looking at the assistant captains Jim Furyk,
webb Simpson, snedeker andKisner.
Graham (41:11):
Wow, webb Simpson's, a name I haven't heard in a while.
I like the guy, I'm just sayingI haven't heard his name in a
minute.
Scott (41:18):
I don't know man, I don't know.
I want him to play.
I'm just scared about thesituation.
Graham (41:25):
He's gonna play, especially dude.
If he continues to play better,what if he makes it to Eastlake
and wait?
Is it this year that they'rechanging it or next year that
they're changing the format?
I think it's this year, I thinkit is this year?
Scott (41:43):
Yeah, but they have to do the picks and stuff before that
.
I think the points are beforethe tour championship.
I don't know.
Graham (41:54):
Look, I'm not saying he's going to go out and win the
British, but if he makes thetop 20 finish, there are there.
To your knowledge.
I know this is off the top.
I don't know if you know this.
Granted, you are a PGA guy, somaybe you should know this.
Are there more?
I would assume there's at leastone.
Are there more elevated eventsprior to the start of the FedEx
(42:17):
cup?
I think this was it.
Scott (42:20):
That's what I thought too .
Graham (42:21):
That's what man yeah.
Scott (42:24):
But I don't know, man, it's crazy, don't know what to
say.
I want him to play.
Not sure if he is, butespecially after what happened
last year.
Yeah, when he didn't get picked.
When he didn't get picked, yeahoh fuck.
He was crushed in the wholeNetflix thing and Brian Harmon
was there.
Yeah, but he qualified, youknow.
(42:48):
I guess as we transition.
I guess, I guess as wetransition.
I guess, you know we haven'tdone a hot chick of the episode
for a while.
Graham (42:59):
Oh hot chick of the week .
Scott (43:02):
Yeah, I'm just going to go out there and keep it with
Captain Keegan, his wife Jillian.
Graham (43:17):
If you don't know, look her up.
Scott (43:19):
Yo did you see what Brooks Koepka posted.
Oh dude, His wife dancingaround with her boobs all
hanging out.
I mean, she's a whore dude.
Graham (43:29):
Hey, she paid good money for those boobs, all right.
Scott (43:32):
Yeah, that's why our hot chick of the week is Keegan's
wife, because she's all natural.
I mean, come on, what's her lot, jillian, something?
I'm looking it up right now.
I mean, just Google her, you'rewelcome.
(43:53):
Anyhow, let's transition NBAgame seven.
I mean we're 46 minutes in andwe haven't even talked about it.
Number one, because it was alame ass game.
Seven, yeah, but the one thingI got to throw out there I mean
it was a close game Albertanwent down with an Achilles
(44:15):
injury and then I saw this dudeand then I was just like, oh my
God, sports, like we always saythe greatest reality show ever.
Every player who tore theirAchilles in this year's playoffs
wore the number zero.
Graham (44:33):
Wow, this is amazing how people can find similarities in
something that's just socompletely like ironic, is it?
Scott (44:47):
Damon Lillard yeah, and then the dude from the Celtics
yeah, every one of them were thenumber zero.
Graham (44:58):
Jason Tatum.
Scott (45:00):
Tatum, dude, like, really .
And as we talk aboutprofessional basketball, the
most entertaining thing I sawthis week in professional
basketball was my girl, sophieCunningham.
Yo, dude, have you seen whatshe's doing right now?
(45:21):
Just because she stuck up forCaitlyn?
Graham (45:26):
Yeah.
Scott (45:28):
Her jersey sold out.
Yeah, she has a millionfollowers on TikTok and 840,000
new followers on Instagram.
Graham (45:37):
I mean sounds to me like she should be the hot chick of
the week, because yo she's, Iain't gonna lie, she's kind of
sexy, she's close, but For beingas tall as you, I mean.
Scott (45:51):
I mean, Anyhow, Game 7, you're the NBA guy.
I mean.
The most exciting news out ofthe NBA today was Durant getting
traded.
That was more exciting thanGame 7.
Graham (46:06):
Yeah, wow, hiccups.
A couple of things.
One Wow, I really do got thehiccups the NBA Finals.
They did not disappoint.
The NBA finals, they did notdisappoint.
They went to seven games.
(46:27):
Am I shocked?
A thousand percent, obviously,because I said they went in five
.
What I will say is this I knowthe season's awards already came
out already, but coach of theyear should be hands down.
Be wreck Carlisle.
And if you don't know, that'sthe coach of the Pacers.
The guy that won was the coachfrom Cleveland, kenny Atkinson,
(46:55):
who he led Cleveland to thenumber one overall seed bro.
And this year like they, and,and even last year they won
almost 70 games.
No, they won like 68 gamesDeserving.
I cannot remember, in the 30years that I've been watching
(47:23):
the NBA, of a finals like thisone.
You have a team in OKC thatstatistically what they did over
the regular season, theyabsolutely dominated the NBA,
and what I mean by that?
They lost 14 games out of 82.
That's pretty good, consideringthe best record is 73 and nine
(47:47):
five games off, that's prettygood.
Yeah, they won, and this iswhere it's just leaps and bounds
over everyone else.
They won 30 games in theregular season by 20 or more
(48:10):
points.
Folks, there's only 82 games ina season.
Think about it.
I don't have the stats in frontof me, but I would say they won
50 games by at least 10 points.
That's unreal how the OKC wentthrough the Western Conference
and just annihilated all theteams.
(48:30):
You're like, wow, they're goingto make light work of the
Pacers, light work.
Then they get to the finals andyou're just like, wait, what?
What just happened happened itwas bad yeah, it's not that it
was bad.
It was this.
For the first time in a longtime you can make a distinction
(48:56):
between a team that is coachedthe right way, and I don't want
to say versus the wrong way.
Okc coach still did an amazingjob, but what I'm saying is the
game plan in which Rick Carlislehad for his Pacers in the
finals against OKC and how hegot them ready to play is bar
(49:19):
none.
Coach of the year.
The OKC was favored minus 900to win the series.
Yeah, they finally won in sevengames.
So you cash.
But how many people werefeeling happy if they took OKC
to win the series?
Scott (49:37):
Well, I can tell you right now one better.
Mgm in Vegas wagered 1.5million on the Thunder to win
the finals at minus $700.
It was a sweat, but he cast$150,000.
Graham (49:52):
You got to bet $1.5 to win $150,000.
Oof, right, yeah, especiallybecause if Halliburton doesn't
go down, do we have the sameoutcome he goes down and Pacers
kept plugging away.
They had to leave at halftimewhich is why the tenacity of the
coaching staff and how heimplemented the offense.
(50:15):
I just got out of all this.
I'm going to eat crow on thiskudos to the Indiana Pacers.
I did not think that was goingto happen, obviously with the
bet.
I'm going to eat crow on thisKudos to the Indiana Pacers.
I did not think that was goingto happen, obviously with the
bet.
But I'm just saying I reallyfeel like they opened the eyes
of a lot of people in the NBAand good for them, and the thing
that sucks is they're screwedgoing into next year.
(50:37):
Why is that?
Scott (50:39):
Halliburton, achilles.
Graham (50:41):
Yeah, it doesn't help.
Scott (50:43):
He might not play until the playoffs.
Graham (50:46):
Yeah, but to be fair, since with the plan now, with 10
games and there's only 15 teamsin these conferences, I could
let that go.
But it's all about chemistry ofthe team and that's one thing I
will say.
I have never seen a teamchemistry like what the Pacers
had this year, how they playedoffense, how they played defense
(51:09):
, how they played as a team, theeffort, like I honestly say
I've never seen a team play withas much effort than what the
Pacers did.
And, to be honest, if I wasanother team, that white boy, tj
McConnell and I'm not sayingthat talking shit, but that dude
, the effort that he showed inthese playoffs, especially in
(51:32):
the finals, this is a dude thataverages four points a game.
If I was another GM bring,bring, bring.
Yeah, it's the pacer, generalmanager, I'm thinking about
offering you X amount of dollarsbecause I want to get him on my
team.
Scott (51:49):
Hey, I'm thinking about this guy on your team.
Graham (51:51):
I want to bring him over , and why would he not get paid,
have a chance to go somewhereelse?
I mean, I get it Kudos to theIndiana Pacers.
That's all I can say.
Scott (52:05):
Just hand clap hey they made it a series.
Graham (52:09):
They lost you 200 bucks.
No one in the San Diego Leaguelistens to this podcast.
Scott (52:18):
Not until I send this to him.
Graham (52:28):
Your boy doesn't have a job over here and you're kicking
him all these down.
Scott (52:34):
I'm sorry wow wow, you also got some hiccups going
crazy Dude like five minutes.
Graham (52:43):
I need to stop.
Scott (52:44):
I know.
Graham (52:45):
Anyhow.
Scott (52:46):
It's been annoying as shit.
Most annoying thing in theworld, by the way, are the
hiccups.
Oh, facts as he goes, facts,facts, facts.
And that homeboy in the bluesweatshirt has some hiccups all
the time.
Oh god, dang, listen to thisshit.
I'm about to make a real out ofyou hiccup.
(53:07):
Anyhow, graham, another funnight, another fun episode.
Agreed, I'm proud to be thecoach of the Patriots.
Can't believe I said thatYou're a Patriots fan.
No, my flag team were thePatriots.
Graham (53:29):
I know, I know I'm just messing with you.
Scott (53:31):
And couldn't be prouder of the boys they battled.
It's not their fault.
They got shafted and it is whatit is.
Man, Like I said, coach thesekids forever.
They're young men right now andI'm pumped for them.
We won Me as a coach.
(53:53):
I'm not excited, Kellen's notexcited.
Graham (53:58):
You know How's the D coach feel?
Same as me, dude I.
Scott (54:03):
I figured I just wanted to ask he texted me once I got
home and he goes what a bunch ofbitches.
And I'm like coach could notagree more and this is a dude
that you know.
He played division one football,got a scholarship and when we
were talking that to the boys atthe end of the game, you know
(54:26):
he looked at kellen and he goeslook, you're a stud, do your
thing, get on the field, workhard.
It was awesome.
He was like work hard, you cango places in this game.
Girls will always be there.
Everybody out there in highschool football is good.
You got to work harder to begreat and Kellen loves him and
(54:53):
bought into his system.
And you know Kellen's goinginto ninth grade, going to play
JV, and I told the coach I'mlike you played football, I know
offense, I want him to play.
I told him to tell his coachand JV to run the ball and play
(55:16):
linebacker.
And he goes dude, just be onthe field, be a football player.
Graham (55:21):
Yeah, I mean most of the time in high school.
If kids are fortunate to makeit to the highest level, they're
not even playing the sameposition, Like there's D Lyman
in the league that playedrunning back in high school
Exactly.
Scott (55:36):
So, like Coach, told him, he goes.
Dude, I was a defensive back,switched to running back in my
sophomore, junior and seniorseason.
I ran for 3000 yards every year.
He goes.
You got to work harder andKellen likes him.
You know, I was talking to himtonight.
(55:58):
The coach and I'm like yo.
Kellen bought into your system.
He appreciates you, he respectsyou.
I'm going to hook Kellen upwith you in the offseason and
help you work with him on hisfootwork.
Graham (56:13):
And he's like dude.
Scott (56:13):
Whatever I can do to help and Kellen's fired up, Fired up
, and that's all I care about ishim being fired up.
Graham (56:22):
Of course.
Scott (56:24):
That's the only reason I did it.
You know, that's the onlyreason I did it.
Graham (56:27):
Yeah.
Scott (56:28):
Coach my son.
Graham (56:29):
Yeah.
Scott (56:30):
And, like I told you earlier, I'm posting a thing on
Instagram.
I'm reading it and Chris Benand I literally break down in
tears and she's like why thehell are you crying?
I'm like I love doing this.
I love running out on the fieldwith them, boys, I love being
in the huddle talking shit,going for one instead of two,
and I'm like this team's sostupid.
(56:51):
If you go for one, you can'trun the ball.
I'm like we're still throwing aplay action at them.
They're too dumb to realize it.
And what happens when you getit?
I love it, dude.
But anyhow, Graham, fun episode, Fun, weird day for both of us.
(57:12):
That's why we're here.
Graham (57:15):
That it is Right.
Look, I'll just finish it withthis.
As you were going off on yourrand, you were talking about it.
Even though right now we're noton video, I could see it.
Eventually the others will seeit, like I could see the sadness
in your face when I was talkingabout it.
You know what I mean, it's justlike I get it.
(57:36):
You know what I mean and it's aprivilege and an honor to do
this with you.
