Speaker 2 (01:44):
Man.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Look, I'm just I'm trying to get the summer.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
And you're busy.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Well, August is the end, as you know, when you
get to August you start counting tickets. Usually when we
were younger, this is the time where I got two
weeks until I got to get back to school. You know,
for us, just about three weeks before that football season
gets ready to rock and roll up there in ann
Arbor or east Lands and whatever you're chairing for so
you gotta get the trips, you gotta get the concerts,
you gotta get all out the way.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Now, that's kind of a fine line for me because
I can't wait for football season to begin, you guys,
and I think everybody would agree with that. But on
the other hand, like Braylyn, just summers over. Yeah, then
it's the indication that summer is over. I love the fall, sure,
you guys.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Do to Michigan.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
My favorite season realistic.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
And ill because you're a football.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
No, no, you know what it is. I like because
I'm born and raised Michigan, Michigan, Michigani. How you say,
I like Gander. I love watching the season change, and
I love fashion. Yes, hard sweatsh sweater, Mayland. I'm saying,
the plaid comes out, the flannel comes out, Jeans, come on,
I'm not really short guy. I like wearing pants, as
you can tell because it's eighty five ninety three with
(02:52):
the heat in decks and I got on long pants,
so I don't like them.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
Who crew necks sweaters?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Man? What I would?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Would you say? You dress up more in the fall
than you do in the summer.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
One.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
Yeah, and I get to wear Timberland and I'm six
two one summertime.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
It's easy, like I'm wearing all golf stuff, like it's
usually every day I'm wearing golf when I'm wearing some
type of Liland short and T shirt. That's it. That's
the forecast from middle of May to September.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Okay, So you would rather dress up. You'd rather look stylish, yes,
than casual.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I'd rather look like I looked at my claws and
did this today as opposed to.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
Yeah, and you get the casual jackets too, nice little
jacket or something you.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Can find bombers if you know it's onto something.
Speaker 9 (03:46):
Fall is that season where you walk out feeling like something, man,
And that wardrobe has a lot to do with it.
Speaker 10 (03:51):
Man, that that's the part of the that's a part
of it. Walking off feeling good. Got me a nice
little coast sweater or something like that.
Speaker 9 (03:59):
You know, you can wear the polos with a little
jacket on it, man, and you can feel pretty fair.
You can wear the full game of the shoes and
not look you know, stupid.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
You can put on the bros.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
You can put on the boots.
Speaker 10 (04:10):
The fall, man, it's where it's at.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I would say, I know Braylan pulls this. So if
feels really good in turtlenecks, you guys, turtleneck guys, I
am not. I don't think I own one. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Turtleneck and mock neck two different things. Like turtlenecks. I'm
still scarring from my childhood, Like my mom forced me
to turtlenecks and school pictures and Thanksgiving I got the
corduroys on. Corduroys and turtlenecks remind me and my mom
saying you have to wear this to go to your grandma.
So I pass on that. But a good mock neck
a little thicker my destinition. I think turtlenecks are flimsy.
(04:46):
I don't like the flimsy look, but the mock neck
a little thicker, a little more stage right there. Yeah,
I don't like when turtnick started rolling down, Like you
know what I'm saying, somebody in cuffy pants the right way,
right right.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Right now, a turtle neck with a blazer.
Speaker 8 (04:57):
I can't just do a turtleneck and it's the same thing,
just like I don't do corduroy plants. I'll do a
corduroy jacket, but the same thing you were forced those
are like, I don't know what it was about moms
making you wear those two things.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I was dressed up with the knick knacks, But are
you conscious of that with your kids? To make sure? Okay,
my kids are not gonna wear that. I am not
putting them through that. Now.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
I got my daughter is a FASTI Nissa Sauce. She
wants to wear dresses and heels every day.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
So yeah, yeah, said.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Look also fat, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (05:26):
No, I was gonna say as a kid, no, I
didn't want to wear it.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Man. My dad was put me in suits and.
Speaker 9 (05:30):
Everything, put me in a little fashion shows down in
all the little Detroit churches and everything like that.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
What the hell?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah? Now I see them kids, and I'm doing the
same stuff.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
But now I see through their lens. You know, I'm
forty two. You know what I'm saying. You look through
a little differently. Okay, this is fashion, but okay, this
kind of looks right with this, Okay, I can see it.
How about I put my son in this because I
see what they may have seen years ago. But I
wasn't trying to hear that at twelve, right, they trying
to hear that I want to start jackets. You know
what I'm saying me and you know what I'm saying.
(06:05):
I got a fun I got a fun concept for it.
Not today. We'll tease today, but I think we'll do
tomorrow another day. You're talking about the music and the rap,
certain things you don't know, and you know comic books.
What if we had a segment where we did ten
questions with schep. Now we pick a random winner. We
picked a random winner. First person get something right in
(06:26):
the chat. At the end of the show, you have
to answer ten questions and for every answer you get right,
that person gets five dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So there's a.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
So it would be it would be on you to
get someone paid very that's a hot ruddy. So it
can be if I showed you a picture of I'm
telling you, I'll show you a picture of a rapper.
You gotta tell me who the rapper is, a Marvel
character or something like that.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
You get ten questions, get killed.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I want but see, I want you to get killed.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
One point. Maybe be a sports question. One would be
a sports question.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Yeah, I'm mixing some some not layups. So I'm mixing
some dunks. I'm mixing some dunk good.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Okay, So there's certain levels perhaps, Yeah, so if you
get it, change like an old timer like okay, who's
a picture of Jack Ham? And I can name Jack
Camp for example.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Man, maybe starts at one. Maybe it starts at one
dollar the first question, and each question gets progressed, like
you said a millionaire style, then you got a millionaire style.
So it was it fifty bucks one to ten? Is
fifty something?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Man?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Just a question in the back of the room. Go ahead, bueler,
where's the fifty dollars coming from?
Speaker 11 (07:37):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
That's coming from just coming from the show? Title's come
from show time.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Ricky was pretty quick to answer his idea, let's come
from Braylan. Is that come from me?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I know right, he didn't jump in on that, but
it was his idea.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
We didn't talk about this before.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
So here's an idea.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah, man, here's an idea.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Man, why not why not do it once a week?
We each you know, every one of us, Noah in
the the intern. We could we could get everybody involved, okay,
and we'll we'll spin it in different ways. I like,
he's not a bad idea. I like shirt.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
This is a new show, new ideas.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
We've got the name of the show coming up with
all these ideas. He's a producer, director and the talent
that tells.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
You know what I'm saying. All right, I'm shot man
about town.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
We gotta shout out his shirt. You gotta sew his
shirt stand up.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Real quick.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
You gotta show this. That's fire. I like that he
came in with that.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I like that Eddie Murphy right there is That's one
of the first things. No, you should have known as
soon as you can.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
He shout a phony.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Move over a little bit so everybody can see it.
That shout out to.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
A k Adie Murphy.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Debate. I gotta fall for the banana and the tail pipe.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I love Dave Chappelle. I'm going ahead see Dave japel Man.
Third in the third Slad never put anybody in front
of Eddie.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Yeah, Eddie was pretty funny.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
And that's where the two spots spot. When I was
a kid, it was richer than uh in Red Fox, Oh,
Red Red Fox appealed to me as a kid. I
like Ridney Dangerfield. It's a different type of human. George
Carlin is one of the greatest of all time.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
Bertie Bernie Bill Burt.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I think it's this generation of George Carl.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yes, I would agree with him that I saw Bill
Burt and I didn't stop laughing. I was I was believable.
Kevin James, I've seen in person. He was hilarious. I
saw Jerry Seinfeld a couple of years ago Burnie, and he.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Was Seinfeld stand up but not the show. Sorry, hot take.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
That's all right, dad, very fair.
Speaker 8 (09:49):
Standing up as hilarious the show. I didn't crack some
I'll watch multiple episodes.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Oh my god, I couldn't get enough. I probably with
my boys and I have literally a Seinfeld threat. I
can see something pops into our head, boom, We'll send
it out to him. So that's one of the old
time Like my daughter and my wife used to watch
Friends together, wrong answer, but the guys watched felt. I
(10:17):
grew up in different.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Martin Living Single, Martin Fresh, Living Color, Family Matters, New
York Undercover. If you're going we're going back to the
air of.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
New York Undercover.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Certain certain certain households watch certain things, like I didn't
tap into Seinfield until I got to college, and by
then I wasn't tapping in like all the time. It
was you know episode once there. Yeah, a great show,
but just I didn't grow up. How about Cheers?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Did you?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I grew up on Cheers?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
My dad loved loved Cheers.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
That's part of that's part of the night lineup. Going
Sam alone. Yeah, isn't crazy looking back when you get older,
looking back at shows and realizing how old people were,
Like this some reason, I thought everybody on Cheers is
in their fifties.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
There was thirty two? Yeah, wait what.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Ted Dance was thirty four? He was thirty four? Whaty
Harrelson was like thirty one or thirty It's the same when.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
You watch teen movies. You look back like all these
people were in their twenties.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Like Norman was like thirty nine.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah yeah, like what looks happy?
Speaker 5 (11:23):
One hundred rest in peace?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, that's really good. But the other funny thing is
when you try to show some of your shows that
you liked as a kid, or maybe even if you
were in college to your kids out Like, I don't
get it. It's not funny at all.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
I was trying to show my sister Alf and my
sister now is thirty five. I told you that I
tried to show Alf was a kid. She was like, yeah,
I'm not buying saying I said, but you watched Barnie.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
I can't watch Barnie, not like Ouf.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
I tried to show my kids, Remember Doug. They used
to come on the.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Cologne first day about the nineteen ninety one we were
talking about quell Man. Turn up Bluffington High School and
take me back. Man. Patty Manner is cool, she goes
she wasn't that smart and either too like she was.
She was attainable, right, Yeah, if you go back and
(12:16):
watch Doug. One of the coolest things about Doug is
nobody is the same color. Yeah one person, No one
is the same girl. They're legitimately hodgepoes of purples and
blues and greens and oranges and even the whites. Like
it's not white. It's like it's like a tan. Yeah,
it's like a tan in Florida. It's great realistic.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon lineup was dope.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Nickeolodeon got it. The other the other company not so much.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
What was the other company?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
That's Disney.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Well, there's a lot of companies that are straight. I
mean MTV when I was a kid, played video They
got it now.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Man, everything, but.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I think it was like forty years old now. I
think the other day I think somebody I thought somebody
wrote or tweeted out that it's the fortieth anniversary of MTV,
thank you for fourteen years of really good music.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Right for real?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Because all they do is they play some show called
Ridiculous Ridiculousness. Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Right.
Speaker 8 (13:13):
They still have the Real World Row Rules Challenge for
some outer reason.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
I'm like, what CT is still getting money?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
The writing was on the wall and when they went
away from pop Up, when they went up from pop
Up Video, yeah they did it on that too though.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Well yeah CRL all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I wonder why that wouldn't make a comeback because it's
all on our phone, I know.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
But still nothing beat YouTube.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Man.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Sorry, it's no.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I don't disagree with that, but it doesn't mean I
mean at home. Are you on your phone a lot
at home?
Speaker 7 (13:43):
No? Not really.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
I think people don't say it, not really And this
is not riggedy line people always I think you and.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I am saying it's ricky. I think you're right. I
think you are on your phone quite a bit.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Nah, I'm not, I'm.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
Really, but I got a bunch of girls in my house,
so I'm always.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Don't blame it on them. I'm breaking.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
I have to.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
It's just convenient, Like you know, I know I'm not
the only one. Like, when's the last time you were
looking for somebody upstairs to give them something, to ask
for something, to see if they can bring something. When's
the last time you went upstairs to go tell them?
When's last time you talk about it? So I'm old school.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I try to put my phone away and then I
like to I like to talk. I like to interact
with people. That's I hate the whole text and and
and email all the time. I want to talk to somebody, Hey, man,
how you doing okay? Even if it's a short and
sweet I'm okay with that. I can't stand the text.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Yeah, that's a rarity now.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
And all the apps are on the TVs and tablets
and everything now, like YouTube's everywhere, Like it's beyond the phone.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
You go into a restaurant. I mean, think about this.
I went into a restaurant last night.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Oh there's no phones with restaurants.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
It's everywhere.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
My family.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
When you're good, but well, good for you, you're a
good death. You look at the look at the table.
How many people are on their phones, but we're the
host of the communication. How come you're not talking with one another?
Speaker 7 (15:03):
You don't hate it?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Well, every era is about what was that era about?
You know, I don't have to go way back to
you know, pre cell phone. I just started in the nineties.
The nineties. People are still talking, people still communicating. Cell
Phone is kind of new beepers, pages a whole nine are,
but it's still the form of communication. You're still probably
talking to people most of the time. And then a
couple of people have cell phones they're communicating. Insert the
(15:26):
two thousands, when you know phones come out. Now you
can start texting. I grew up in that era. Essentially,
I'm I'm in college or I'm going to high school.
I'm in high school when you can start texting. So
I'm a text era. Everything is texted me. I enjoyed texting.
This is what the era was. All phones, you get
the better T nine service in texting. Here comes the iPhone.
Now you can do all the things. Insert now my
(15:49):
brother's era and my sister's era, they're the FaceTime era.
They're the FaceTime I remember my brother used to come
in and he's on the phone with his boys from college.
I'm like, FaceTime is just to talk to girls. He's like,
we talked to everybody. Know they legitimately would be on
the phone like this talking. I'm like, why are you talking?
Your friends text them call it. That's the FaceTime here. Now,
(16:09):
this new error is trying to get back to it's
all the social. It went from FaceTime. The next era
is social. I got people that will not hit me
back on text, won't answer my call sometimes. But if
you text them on i G. If you text them
on snap instantly, they get right back to you instantaneously.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
That I only talk to on Instagram, Like we have
each other's numbers, but we're talking back to are you
kidding me?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
And it's and it's a sense of fake. It's a
sense of fake keeping up because you think, oh, we're boys.
You know I'm saying, we talk on social media. Hey,
you guys don't talk. You don't guys know what's going
on hotels fan. You don't know how I got feels
or how the girl feels.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
This here's there. Here's the problem with your your brother
and your sisters now is that they're used to FaceTime,
and what happens is because you're so used to it,
they'll go to them and they'll FaceTime people. I said
the Jimmy, they're the days ago, two days ago. This
person's working out and they're facetiming someone. And you know,
(17:10):
I'm I'm not afraid to say this. I'll go up
there and say, hey, man, I don't if I can
hear your conversation over my heavy metal, that's a problem
because I got heavy metal blaring in my ears, so
I need it. Is rude, it is I need you
up in the lobby area so you can talk because
I don't want to hear your conversation. I don't want
to know what you had for dinner last night or
what you're going to the grocery store for after the
(17:32):
workout right now. But in today's day and age, I'm
seen as the jackass, the person breaking Oh yeah really,
oh absolutely.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
People are a little more aware.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
I'm not defending everyone, but I do want to defend
some of these younger kids because they're more like they
set screen time and stuff like that. This next generation
of kids, they're getting more they're actually paying attention to
stuff like that, to where if they're on the phone,
they'll set their phone down.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
I've noticed that the hold real quick.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
They'll set their phone down on FaceTime doing like transaction
and then go back to it. Like I'm a person,
I'm Always'm usually on the phone with my like might
have my headphones on, but I'm real conscious of that.
I'm not talking around people stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
You're good about it. I'm telling you just two days ago,
it happened, and it happened. Happened this afternoon. I did
a work out before I came here. You get the
same thing, and it's like, oh my god, dude, come on,
I don't need to hear your.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Business man when I'm playing fitness man, when your fitness
is essentially I'm so live saying that. I don't even
paying attention. It's no judgment. So I'm not just you
listen to music while you work out? Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I know a lot of people who do not. Yeah, wow,
I'm crazy.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
The south of the gym is boring.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Yeah, I gotta be listening to DMX, Gezy, Little Wayne
or The Good Book.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I got to be listening to something, Okay. I gotta
do something to help me motivate and get through it,
especially as you get older. So it's kind of it's
kind of a situation. I hope more and more people
are are taking notice of it because you know, there's signs, Hey,
get off your phone, don't be on your phone, Please
be conscious of others.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
I know one thing, a younger culture, this era doesn't
do like our erarors and airs passed. There's much less
drinking with the new age, like the twenty it's even
that the liquor sales with gen Z versus the next
one above and millennials, it's like night and day the
numbers in terms of what's spent. But I tell you this,
(19:28):
they do all that infused stuff. You better slow down
on that. Yeah, like all that vaping and and helling
of the pipe down a little bit because those chemicals
in there seems cool now that certain general don't tell
you everything.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
I didn't know that about the drinking.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Yeah, no one.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
They don't used to go to Canada in nineteen that's
all that's done.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
They don't even go. They don't care.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Wow, there's a whole article. Yeah, listen, we used to go.

would go to a place. It depends on where, but
ours for us and it's it's out of you know,
out of action now. But we going to a place
called Mother's Pizza. Okay, and at least that's where we
said we were going. Smart So on the on the

way back for sure, just being four young black men
coming from when in the morning, you're getting pulled over.

of Carrie Carpenter he has homer it again, he had
a two he had a two run homer. So now
but two no, no, no, he had a two run homer.
He's homer again.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Is a day he is?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
So he is a homer today. Spencer Tokos has a
homer today. Zach McKinstry has a homer today. It's four
to four against the Twins. So kudos to Detroit's power,
which I think is vital for their success. Now. I
know people feel I know how they feel about bullpens,
(27:49):
especially swinging missing bullpens. I know how they feel about
starting pitching. I've been on record to say, you know,
there's I think a number of teams who have a
better starting pitching than Detroit as we get ready for
the playoffs. But I love the power. I mean, they're
eighth right now in home runs, there's seventh right now
in slug and that's going into today's game, so that
(28:09):
could change a little bit. So that's that's a great
sign for Detroit that the power, that's what was missing
during that that that's the period of time where they
struggled and everybody wanted to give up on him, and
there's really no reason to do that. It's it's silly
to do that, but there there is what was missing
was sure some bullpen problems, but the power was missing
(28:31):
as well.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
He said, he said the Twins out fours four four.
So what does that tell you about Jack Flaherny. That's
just a question because I know he's another one of
those angles where you know he's somebody that we were
monitoring his play. Four hits? Has he gotten pulled?
Speaker 7 (28:44):
He has not.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
He's given up six hits and four runs is what
he's given up one home run. So yeah, a guy,
a guy who has a four and a half e RA.
He does have three strikeouts. That's better than Chris Paddock
did last night.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
How much Pan Paddic versus how much is Jack claritys
a great point.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Yeah, Jack Flairy's making twenty five million dollars.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Okay, I need to step it up. And it's it's
no disrespect because he's definitely thrown the strikes. But every
time Zack Flerity comes up there, we know he's giving
up a bomb. That's that. That's been seventy five percent
a season.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
He's been pretty good as of late. That doesn't mean
my confidence is all the way back with him when
the when the playoffs begin, I think it's legitimate to
bring up the money. If we're gonna bring it up
with Howy or bias, you need to bring it up
with everybody.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
And you said that last week.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Yeah, so Jack Flaherty, I don't know if he would
be your two in a playoff series quite honestly, I mean,
I trust A. J. Hinchtt to get that. It's about
swings and misses. Though Chris Paddock got one swing and
miss last night one, Royce Lewis one swinging you that's
not gonna work. Rafail. Montero came in, gave up two runs.
He didn't look good. I mean those I don't want
(29:56):
to dwell on the negative. But but those are things
that I'm looking for.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Can't ask the question, and this question isn't it And
this isn't a I need everybody to panic. This doesn't
come because you don't panic. So it's not a panic questions.
It's a serious question. How many how many games do
the tires need to give back before there is cause
for concern? You know, you look at earlier in the week,
it was nine. You look at earlier in last week
(30:20):
it was twelve. You look at three weeks ago, it
was fifteen. They're down to seventh after last night's loss, Right,
what would the number be for you?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Where it's like, Eh, I think they are. I think
they are clearly the best team in the division. Okay,
I am not worried at all.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Well four and a half make you worry about is
this a divisional race?
Speaker 7 (30:40):
No?
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Okay, it would not for me. That's just me. I'm
not saying I'm right. I think they've got a uh a.
I was gonna say it's not an easy road. There
really are no easy roads. You got the Twins, you
got the Angels coming into town. Not a great team,
but White Sox stink, although they have as many wins
as the Yankees over the last month, so that shouldn't
(31:04):
be too much of an issue. Then you're with Minnesota again.
Then you're with Houston. That'll be interesting, don't I try
not to use certain series as litmus tests, yes, because
people there are some people saying, oh, we're going to
see what the Tigers are really made of against Philadelphia.
Oh okay, so you didn't learn anything about how good
they played against you know, all these other teams that
(31:25):
they've played. So I try to keep that under control
a little bit. My belief is, and I pray that
I'm wrong, I really do. I think Toronto's better than
they are. I think Seattle's better than they are. Houston,
we'll see, Boston is surging. And then I think there's
probably three to four National League teams that I would
(31:47):
think are in better position to compete for a World
Series title than the Tigers, specifically Dodgers, Podreys, Phillies. I
don't nobody gives a Brewers any credit. Nobody the other day,
Pat Murphy's their manager. I bet you you could find
a baseball fan right out here on Woodword, go up
(32:08):
to about ten of them in a row, who's the
manager of the Milwaukee Brewers. They have no idea who
Pat Murphy is.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
And that's okay, because you can probably go down to
Coo America and five hundred of them, right and.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Yeah, and then and Pat Murphy said this last night,
name five guys on our team. Somebody named five. I mean,
he's talking to the Milwaukee media, so the Milwaukee media
obviously knows it. But when you're talking about the Milwaukee Brewers,
and I wonder if the Tigers are too dissimilar than that,
Like outside of Detroit, if you go to a let's
(32:40):
just say you go to Boston. Yeah, all right, how
many Red Sox fans can name X amount of Tigers.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
I think the Tigers are. I would say at least five.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
You think so? Who would go five to three?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Who school Scoogle Bias, Labor Torres, one of Riley Green
as four?
Speaker 7 (33:06):
I hope so if they're a baseball.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Fan now, but they've been talking at no, Yeah, that's
that's the time All Star. Also, let's not forget what
the Tigers have been doing from this time last year.
Tigers made that hell of a run, started getting national
people start watching, and then they started playing more intention
once they got to the playoffs. Then they messed around
and won a playoff series, and then they started this
season with the same momentum and they even playing well.
(33:28):
All they've talked about is the Tigers and Hobby Bias.
They talked about Hobby Bias more than Aaron Judgement. So
I think about that. I'm over exaggerating, but not that much.
Last time I checked, Hobby Biaz was trying to get
out of Detroit and he started an All Star Game.
This year. People like stories, and I think the Tigers
for a large part of the season were the story.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Perhaps you're right because of the All Star nominations that
they had. I do think everybody This is not a
knock on Detroit fans or US. I think people get
lost in their own teams. Okay, So I think people
in Boston. And I use Boston as an example because
my wife is from Boston, so I hear from her
family all the time. How good are the Tigers? You
(34:09):
know our you know, our Red Sox are coming Our
Red Sox are coming up, y'all. So I gotta, you know,
calm them down a little bit. There's all of them.
They're like, so, who's this guy? They don't know who
the hell Matt Vieling is. Theyn't know who Zach McKinstry is.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
I bet they can name you ten Detroit Lions.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I bet every damn right.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
I bet every NFL fan basically name you ten and
Detroit Lions. And if they can include half the coaches
that and if they.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Can't, they're not football fans. This is true, right, I agree,
because they really are one of the best teams in
the National Football League. So Dan Campbell spoke today and
he was talking about there's so much made Braylan of
the coaches they've lost, and you did a really good
job with this. A couple of weeks ago, we were
talking about not just the coordinators. We're talking about some
(34:55):
of the other coaches, but what about the coaches who
are on this staff and making a difference. Kelvin Shepherd
is elevated to defensive coordinator and Sean Dion Hamilton is
now the linebackers coach. Here's Dan Campbell on his coaches,
his linebackers coaches and the guys who are getting work
(35:16):
done on a daily basis in Allen Park.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
Listen to this. That makes.
Speaker 11 (35:22):
Yeah, he's done an unbelievable job. I mean, one of
the reasons we got him into coach and asked him
to stay was he was such a smart player.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Man.
Speaker 11 (35:29):
He was such a headsy player. You know, he he
was a high level thinker as a player, so to
be able to you know, and look, he wasn't the
most gifted, and when you're not the most gifted, then
you're usually you have to do every little thing right.
You have to know every little detail, and you probably
know how to coach every little detail too. So, uh,
(35:50):
that was him and he is he's he's a stickler
for the details. He expects a lot out of those guys.
He wants him to play downhill and aggressive. Uh, he's
a hard and he's just he's grown a ton under
Shep in that room in ag So he's going to
do a great job for us.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
One more follow up on the offensive.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Kelvin Sheppard not not not the Shep. So I love
that answer, and I love I could be in the
minority here. I love the promotion from within. So the
linebacker's coach now, who is Sean Dion Hamilton was the
assistant linebackers coach. Oh yeah, you gotta love that for
Kelvin Sheppard. You gotta love it if it's earned. And
I think it's really important. And that's a that's a
(36:33):
big word, right. Players know this stuff. They know who's
who deserves it and who doesn't deserve it.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Yeah, I'm saying you know who deserves it. Shan Diane
Hamilton has been in that room and Kelvin Shepard in
the linebacker room. One of the good things. And we'll
get a chance to talk about Kevin Sheppard here in
a minute too, because I'm interested in what people have
to say about him, but it's attention to details. And
that's what you've seen in the last four years of
Kelvin Shepard and his linebackers, and then Shan Diana has
been in that room as well. Look at the growth
(37:00):
in the player development of Alexanderloni. I told you when
they first bought Azeloni in here, I didn't seen anything special.
I want them to get rid of him. At some point,
he's saying he was one of those players like he
can't go lateral, he can't cover anybody in space like
this guy is. He's basically costing you some plays and
some first downs. Malcolm Rodriguez talking about excuse me, getting
back to Angeloni. Look what happened in twenty two. Look
at the steps in twenty three. You're talking about a
(37:21):
guy that could have been a Pro Bowl talking about
a guy that wasn't alternate in the Pro Bowl. Talking
about a guy that's led a defense the past three years.
That's what he's done. Kelvin Sheppard help him get there.
Look at Jack Campbell, look at the steps that he
took last year when Azeloni went down. Who was ready,
who was ready to put that doubt on this helmet.
There's no coincidence that a former linebacker in Kelvin Shepard,
that played eight years in the league, that played under
someone great defensive coordinators, great defensive minds, is now helping
(37:44):
these guys advance. And I think that's what Sean Dion
has been a part of, just being in that room
and watching that the last four years. That growth.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Yeah, I would remind people too. In twenty twenty one,
Kelvin Sheppard's responsibility on the staff was to handle the
outside linebackers and the rush and the Russians and Charles
Harris at seven and a half sacks, you bring up
Anzeloni those years you just brought up. Those are back
to back career years for him. Don't tell me the
coaching didn't have anything to do with it. What Jack
(38:13):
Campbell the progress he made last year, He's been five big,
one of five linebackers in the National Football League to
have at least one hundred and twenty five tackles, at
least five tackles for loss, at least five past breakups,
and at least one thumb hull cover eight straight years
or eight straight weeks he had seven tackles or more.
(38:34):
That's most by a Lion linebacker since Steven Boyd had
thirteen straight weeks of seven tackles or more in two thousand.
That's a long ass time.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
That ship's guy. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely correct about that.
You guys asked me all the time the difference in
the game, What is the game? How did you get
better in this game? Why is it so fast? Why
people so slow? It's that attention to detail. I talk
about it all the time, film film, film, It's how
you coach as well. It's put players in good positions
to have success, and it's what it seems like they've
done in that player development. Like Zach Thomas. I always
(39:06):
go back to Zach Thomas. You look at Zach Thomas.
Nothing special about Zach Thomas. In fact, you're oning, how
the hell is he a linebacker in the NFL of
the Hall of Fame category attension of detail. He knew
where everybody was, he knew where he was supposed to be.
He can tell guys where they are supposed to go.
Malcolm Rodriguez. I'm not saying he's Zach Thomas, but when
you have attention to detail, like Sean Diana is going
to with him, you put him in good spots. You
(39:28):
got Jack on one side, you got Alex anzelon the
other side, and you put Malcolm Rodriguez in good spots
and the attention to detail, he can be where he's
supposed to be.
Speaker 9 (39:36):
And I just wanted to say about that man with
these assistant coaches. You know, Calvin Sheppard had the same
thing said about him by a pretty good coach in
Steve Specknolo, and he talked about the tension to detail
and his ability to coach you know, everybody's position, including
on the offense, even though he was a linebacker on
the defensive side. And so now you look at his
assistant linebacker who's now elevating the same stuff is being
(39:58):
said by him and Bray just you've been.
Speaker 10 (40:00):
A player in those rooms, you know when coaches are.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Probably just giving you the speak.
Speaker 9 (40:04):
But when I look at Dan Campbell as a fan,
it makes me that much more comfortable to hear him
talk about how even his weaknesses they identified made him better.
And I didn't I personally didn't get the sense that
Dan Campbell was just talking to.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Just talk up his guy.
Speaker 9 (40:18):
I saw him be very very confident, very very comfortable
and talking about Sean Dian Hamilton because there's a lot
of noise right now, but what this team can't be
because they're promoting from.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
What Yeah, that's that's what's dry. And that's the reason
we wanted to bring this topic up because I think
what people wanted when they lost offensive coordinator Ben Johnson
and lost Aaron Glenn is like, Okay, let's go out
and get someone similar to Sta Spagnola, who won who's
won three rings? Right, Let's go get a guy like
(40:49):
Vic Fangio like Philadelphia did, or you know, Jim Schwartz
is considered a really good defense.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
He knows.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
He does now, Brian Flores really good defense?
Speaker 7 (41:00):
Of course?
Speaker 4 (41:01):
Great. They wanted those names, right, and and really, what
I've said is at some point those guys became bigger
names because of their ability. I covered when Jim Caldwell
was here, I covered him and Tara lost him. Was
his defensive coordinator. And what a great dude, right he's
in Pittsburgh. Okay, I think I thought he was a
(41:23):
really good ude, at least at least to me he was. Anyway,
how you treat me? I love Braylan's eyes when when
he talks about something. It's just like he's looking off
on the distance.
Speaker 7 (41:36):
He's trying to pass it off.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
He's kind of looking off on the distance, you know,
like your puppy is watching you eat. At one point
he had a really good defense and then it fell
down a little bit. Jim Caldwell unfairly got fired. Tara
Loston left as well. But the point is those guys
get elevated to spots from within because they have a
(42:03):
plan and they have a really good idea of their personnel.
I love the fact that he's promoting from with that.
Speaker 5 (42:09):
Yeah, people gotta just stop getting so hung up on,
you know, wanting to go out and poach the guy who,
like you said, big fans. Oh it's got three super
Bowl rings. Oh you see what this guy did. Oh
let's get somebody that falls off to Sean McVay tree.
Why can't we get somebody like Kevinc Conna Pumpy breaks,
pumpy breaks and relaxed year. You gotta watch how this
thing is built out, Like when I look at Kelvin
Shepherd promoting from within. People forget about the chemistry side
(42:31):
of things. People forget about the familiar, aready side of things.
And when you have familiarity in chemistry, which is what
this defense has under Kelvin Shepherd, because he was on
the linebacker, because he also coached somebody outside linebackers, because
he's been here, he is legitally embodied in Aaron Glenn's image.
You don't want to bring in somebody that, Yeah, he
may be a great defensive coordinator, He's not a great
(42:53):
defensive coordinator for this group of guys. He's not a
great defensive coordinator for this city. He's not meant to
come in in this time where this is a pivotal
moment for the Detroit Lions fan. I mean, excuse me,
for the Detroit Lion franchise. You don't want to deal
in windows, Fine, we won't deal in windows, but this
is a pivotal time. You have the best players and
staffing that you probably have ever had, You have the
(43:14):
coach that you've never had. You have everything right, So
why mess with Why take the chance to bring in
the guy because of his accolades, because of this, that
and the third bringing the guy that knows what he's doing,
that can do these guys, and that's Kelvin Sheppard. I
appreciate everything about Kelvin Shepard. He was on the team
with Miami Dolphins when Dan Campbell was there. You're not
(43:35):
long talk about it, y'all long. Kelvin Shepherd's knowing Dan Campbell.
If he wasn't the guy, Dan Campbell wouldn't go in
this direction. I love everything about what they're building here.
You take Aaron Glenn's a former player, Kelvin Shepherd, former player,
Dan a former player. They got a plan for this
thing and how they wanted to go. You don't think
the defensive players had a saying that, Hey Fellas, Hey,
hey Heyden, what would you think if we promoted Kelvin Shepard.
(43:59):
F yeah, you f and right out want Kelvin Shepard.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
Hey, they were siing his praises last year.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
Jack, you know what, don't even ask me. He's my guy. Yes,
this is what you hear. So now you have these conversations,
and then to go away from that and bring in
a stranger. Now you got to deal with the first
half of the season. Somebody like the back and forth
and fighting what we're gonna do it this way? What's
my way? So I like that. And also he has
the resume. You just didn't pay attention because of what
(44:25):
you want.
Speaker 7 (44:26):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (44:26):
He's got a resume. Four years with this franchise, four
years with these players, four years with this team, not
to mention what he did as a player and what
he did as an assistant when he was coming up
the rings. So I love what he's going to bring.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
Yeah, he's a big He's a big reason why this
team was you know, first and third down efficiency again,
talk about it. They were third, make it second and
fourth down efficiency against. They were seventh in points per
game against. And let's not get confused here. Just because
they may have played together or been on the Miami
staff and known one another for a long time doesn't
(45:00):
mean that Dan Campbell that's the reason he takes him.
He was good friends with Anthony Lynn, very true, and
Anthony Lynn was his first o C when he got
here and he recognized it wasn't going to work out.
He took a lot of heat for that because everybody thought, oh,
you just want to be the play caller. You want
to be the head coach and the guy who gets
the glory in every case, not knowing who he was.
Speaker 5 (45:20):
The situation with Anthony Lynn, we had him on the
show back then. I was actually on two different teams
with coach Lynn for the Cleveland Browns as well as
the Jets. So love a Lynn. It didn't work out.
He didn't know the pulse of this team. He didn't
know how to be an offensive coach to what we
had in the store. Dan Campbell made a decision. He
got rid of him, you know, and by the way
he promoted from within on you how hard that move was.
(45:41):
Because he bought Anthony Lynn out of retirement. He since
he bought him out of retirement and then fired him,
that's a tough move. So Dan camb was all about
putting the right people in place. Getting back to Shep
just for another second. He's also not Aaron Glynn. He's
also not trying to be Dan Campbell. He is his own.
Much like Dan Campbell tells you on Hard Knock, I
(46:02):
want you to wear those dreads because it is who
you are. He's going to be itself. His nasty, tenacious,
relentless effort. These are the three things and the three
pillars that he lives by. This is how he coaches
his linebackers. Nasty, tenacious, and relentless. That sounds like something
that I want to be a part of.
Speaker 4 (46:20):
I also love the fact, like you brought up the dreads,
We've talked about that before, but the fact that he
wants his guys to be real. Yeah, okay, you are coaches.
Bruce greg Kowski is an offensive assistant.
Speaker 5 (46:31):
He played with him Inland, so there you go.
Speaker 4 (46:34):
He played in Cleveland, played in this whole staff. He
was he was in Toledo. They they kept and they routine.
Hank Frayley really important place limb right absolutely to Shard Choice.
They bring him in as a running backs coach. They've
got guys who if you're a player and you recognize
some of the you know, the history of the game.
(46:55):
I'm not saying that you had to have played to
you know, to be impactful, but it does help.
Speaker 5 (47:00):
I would guess that definitely does. You look at Hank Frailey.
Hank Freley played, you know, two spots down from Joe
Thomas for five years, six years. Joe Thomas one of
the best left tackles ever, especially in the last twenty
five years. He also was on the same staff with
Eagles when they had Runyon and those guys, and he
was blocking for McNabb. He's been doing at a high
level for a very long time, and when I was
with the Browns, he was one of the guys that
(47:20):
was helping coach Jeff Davison input run blocking techniques, putting
in install for the offensive lineman. So he's been tapped
in for a while and he's been coaching Panay, he's
been coaching these guys, he's been working with Frank, he's
been working with Taylor Decker.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Like.
Speaker 5 (47:36):
That's why I think you'll see a lot out of
Tate rallies this year. I know I went off on
a tangent about something else, but I'm excited to see
what ty rallies could become. Because Hank Frayley played that spot.
Hank Freley knows that spot, he knows that game.
Speaker 4 (47:50):
I hope he is that influence. It's always one of
the things I've wondered about in sports. You know, how much,
for example, you bring your Frank right now? How much
is Frank Ragnow. How much was it Kevin Zeitler, how
much it was a Graham Glasgow, how much was it
Frank Hank Freeley. I don't know the answer study of that, okay,
but all of them working together made Frank Ragnow one
(48:12):
of the best centers, if not the best center in football.
Can he have that type of impact on a young
guy like Tate Ratledge knowing that he's going to go
through some ups and downs? Everybody does, right, and you did,
I'm sure your rookie year and and me what about
and what about Christian? Is he gonna be able to
do that with Christian?
Speaker 3 (48:31):
You know what?
Speaker 9 (48:31):
I got some audio from Dan Campbell talking about the
standard of the offensive line.
Speaker 4 (48:35):
Okay, let's let's get to that stuff after we get
after we get a thought from Jack's card Wash and
doctor Pierce. I don't know about you, but every time
I get my car washed, it seems like it starts
to rain. The beauty with Jack's car Wash. Is they
have these plans where it doesn't matter if it rains
or if it's sunny for.
Speaker 5 (48:54):
You, Well, you and I are in the same boat
because every time I get my car wash, as you know,
it tends to have kind of cloud. I was looking
like that, and it does rain. But when you get
the unlimited package, man, and that unlimited package is only
forty nine dollars, is it twenty nine dollars a month?
If a twenty nine to ninety nine per month unlimited
if it rains, guess what we'll see you tomorrow. If
it rains that day, we'll see the day after that.
And that car wash will be free because you've already
(49:15):
put it in. Look over forty locations around the state
that car wash for you. That the car wash that
I go to. There, the car wash that I vet in,
the car watch that I use. Man, it's good people
would get you right. Summer is still here, ladies, jim
go get your card washed at Jacks.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
And tell the good people about the good doctor. I'll
just back to back doctor doctor Jimmy.
Speaker 5 (49:37):
Run through all the people that I use. You know
what I use, Doctor Piris, this is my guy played
in the audience past. We would Doc Twing was okay,
but look he's better in the doctor's office. Two four
eight four two four. You want to get some type
of insight. Doc can get you right and make sure
your diagnosis is lugit. I got story after story after store.
And you don't have to be an athlete as well.
Speaker 7 (49:56):
Man.
Speaker 5 (49:57):
You can somebody that casually enjoys golf, casually enjoy I
want my back to be right as the concert go

Speaker 7 (53:53):
Now.
Speaker 4 (53:53):
If I'm worried, I'm glad we haven't yeah, right, saying
it's not good.
Speaker 7 (53:56):
I'm saying I.
Speaker 4 (53:58):
Don't like you know, where is he? That's that's his
business man.
Speaker 7 (54:02):
You better than me, bro.
Speaker 4 (54:04):
If I'm worried about my daughter, yes, on a Friday
or Saturday night in Heast Lansing, sure, I would probably
check it every once in a while. I try to
give him as much, you know, leeway and freedom as possible.
It's eight four Minnesota. Now, Okay, wait what I did
just say? Six four? They just hit two home runs?
Speaker 7 (54:23):
Cool?
Speaker 4 (54:24):
Oh my god? You know we had a commercial break
It doesn't take long for you to put up runs
at a ballpark. Tyler Holton, who has been rock Steady,
not Black rock Steady, but rock Steady has given up,
has given up two home runs. Okay, Austin Martin was
a pinch hit homer and people are like, who the
(54:47):
hell is Austin Martin. He's the other guy that when
Spencer Tarkon was taken first, the people debated on whether
or not he who led Vanderbilt to a World Series
over Michigan. I'm sorry, it was the three game set.
It was a really good series. I watched it. I
enjoyed it. But Austin Martin was Vanderbilt's best player and
(55:07):
he had I think it went fifth overall. I believe
it was fifth overall. But that was the debate. Is
it Austin Martin or Spencer Turkles And both of them
have homest That.
Speaker 5 (55:13):
Game was just another classic reminder that up until twenty
twenty three, the national championship run astric or not, whatever
you want to call it. Michigan's always in a national
championship in a different sport. They could just never close
the freaking deal. Baseball we lost that year. We were
in hockey that year too. We were in hockey. A
bunch of years we did in the final four Bass.
Speaker 4 (55:31):
We do have nine championships in hockey.
Speaker 5 (55:34):
Yeah, but when's the last one? That's what I'm talking
I'm talking about closing the gate in the last twenty
five years. I'm not talking about when Red Bearnson, when
his heyday.
Speaker 4 (55:41):
Marty Turko I think was in that last time that
excuse me. So that's but I think, I think and
that's a long time ago. To your point, I'm supporting
you on.
Speaker 5 (55:49):
That close the deal softball team was in the World
Cities run a lot of runner ups.
Speaker 4 (55:55):
Yeah, teams from the Midwest don't find their way to Omaha.
All very often true for college baseball because the advantage
is so steep in the South, over the South and
out west.
Speaker 8 (56:08):
Yeah, so the track it is the same for golf,
it's it's golf the same way. I don't follow it,
but I feel like it'd be the same.
Speaker 5 (56:14):
Yeah, because Alabama, Alabama's not one golf team like yeah, currently.
Speaker 10 (56:19):
They are sec Hey shout out to jail.
Speaker 5 (56:21):
For all the money is as well, like the not
all the money, A lot of the money as it
relates to giving it to sports programs, and then the
constant to be able to practice outside.
Speaker 7 (56:30):
Yeah, you're not gonna.
Speaker 5 (56:31):
Have many sprinters coming from up north beating anybody from Texas. Right,
It's just is what it is baseball. You get a
chance to be outside practicing elements. This is what it is.
Get outside fast and up here. Here's a lot of
hitting in cages in January, in February and March. Right,
they're in full groove by the time you get to
into of April.
Speaker 7 (56:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (56:51):
No, it's a great point. I've always felt about it.
You know, if I wanted to spend Braylan's money, you
could get you can get an indoor facility for kids
to play indoor baseball.
Speaker 7 (57:02):
Okay, you could.
Speaker 4 (57:02):
Use it for other things. You can use it for football,
you could use it for lacrosse, you could use it
for soccer. There's no doubt about it. But if you
really wanted to make some money, put in an indoor
facility and have you know, they have a fall league.
There's a fall baseball league. You wouldn't bat league. One
of my oldest son used to play travel ball in
the fall and he would have it in Wooden bat League.
It was cold as all get out right in the fall.
(57:25):
As you're trying to balance football and baseball, you go
indoors and use the wooden bat because the ball doesn't
travel quite as far. Okay, you you go indoors, and
I think you can make some money doing that.
Speaker 7 (57:40):
They have indoor softball leagues.
Speaker 4 (57:42):
Yeah, because they don't hit it quite as Farah, it
makes a lot of sense, I think. I don't think
there's many facilities that can.
Speaker 7 (57:48):
Control the elements you can turn to heat up.
Speaker 4 (57:50):
Yeah, rain, Hey, bring some marines, which you said make Yeah,
they got the.
Speaker 5 (57:55):
Weather machines in the weather machines are really thing. Hey.
Speaker 4 (57:58):
Speaking of that, though, we'll get back to Lion's here
in a moment. I was thinking about this with the
you brought up college. When you look around college athletics
and you see that the ACC has seventeen teams now,
and the Big twelve has sixteen, and the Big ten
has eighteen, which is ridiculous, Yeah, and the SEC has sixteen.
(58:23):
Do you like the big conferences?
Speaker 1 (58:26):
Do we like?
Speaker 4 (58:27):
Do we embrace this? I know there's nothing we can
do about it. I'm just wonder how you guys feel.
Speaker 5 (58:31):
About it realistically, Like is relative man, I think things evolve,
you know what I'm saying, and being a part of
this kind of institution and watching it go from you know,
one game in ninety seven when Michigan won the National
Championship to you know BCS when I was there, no
BCS first, then four teams then right, So it just
(58:56):
is what it is, like. I don't make bones about
Oh my god, I can't believe that, Yo, Michigan's not
gonna The rivalry stuff is dead. It is what it is.
It sucks, but I got over it. I have now
tried to find that have full space. I think you'll
get matchups on a regular day basis that are great
for the sport. Last year was the most a lot
of people were engaged in college football in a very
(59:17):
long time. It's because of the matchups. You know, I
know that Penn State's not playing Michigan this year. I
know Michigan's not playing Notre Dame. I know Michigan's not
playing Iowa this year. But you know who Michigan is playing.
Michigan's playing Nebraska, Michigan's playing Oklahoma, Michigan's still playing Ohio State,
Michigan's playing USC Michigan's playing They're playing Michigan State, they're
(59:38):
playing for due, they're playing University of Washington. There's still
a lot of good games in this new space, and
I think you're seeing it just listening in Week one Texas,
Ohio State, Bama, Florida State, LSU, Clemson, Nebraska where it
was at a Notre Dame in Miami, TCU, North Carolina.
That used to just be kind of like opening week open.
(01:00:00):
Here's some great games, this is your slate, and then
you get a lot of weeks where it's nothing. Well
fast forward. There are six matchups like that each week
in college football, so half full. I appreciate the matchups,
you know. I know it's only two conferences. It's the
big tennis as you see.
Speaker 4 (01:00:16):
I think you could get those matchups even if you
didn't have the massive conferences.
Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Is my point.
Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
Michigan State should be playing Ohio State.
Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
I think outside of you, who cares about that though?
Because we're Michigan. It's a Michigan themeed state. Like if
you were in oh if you were in a different state,
would you care about Michigan State and Ohio State?
Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
No, But if you're in a different state, you care
that Michigan plays Oklahoma.
Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
Yes, why because there are two great programs, But there
are two big programs. Even if you don't like the program,
it's still something to turn on the game, like, oh, shoot, Oklahoma,
I mean Michigan's at Oklahoma to night.
Speaker 7 (01:00:51):
Yeah, yeah, that sounds wild.
Speaker 5 (01:00:53):
Yeah it does even exactly like I'm going to that game.
Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
Oklahoma's not even top twenty five, but yeah, it's based
on their reputation. It's based on you know, what they've
done in the past. And I think personally, we and
you're right, I think we've gotten away from it. I
think that's a sad part of sports. I agree, we
all know why. It's because of money. I'm not saying
that it shouldn't be. I just I long for the
(01:01:19):
days where rivalries and conference games truly matter. Okay, when
it was special when Michigan played USC out West, and
no longer is that the case. Now it's okay, it's
just another conference game. And I think we've lost that
and it's sad. I mean, we, you and I have
talked about rivalries all the time in sports. How many
(01:01:43):
are there in the National Football League, how many are
there in Major League Baseball? How many there are they
in the NHL, how many are there in the NBA.
You don't find them. You know why we've become numb
to it, And it's it happens in college now. We've
become numb to it because we just want what we
think is going to be the biggest game instead of
what could be the most important game.
Speaker 5 (01:02:05):
It's true, I don't disagree with what you're saying. If
I could have it my way, it would have gone
back to the BCS. You know, I didn't need the
four And then you try to convince me before I
told you it's only going to open the door. Well,
here we are. We got the FOURD and open door
to twelve. But once again, I'm just trying to find
my way in your good landscape. And I think the
(01:02:25):
excitement side of it, like there's there's a lot. This
is a mini NFL. You know, it may be horrible
for what we're used to. You know, what was fun
and what was stored in the rivalry getting to the
last you know, getting into November, the last week in November.
Now you got all the marbles on the floor for
Ohio State Michigan. Well, but it's not then and maybe
it's the iron Ball, Maybe it's Auburn and Alabama that
come down to the wire, LSU and Alabama, and maybe
(01:02:47):
there's something out west. Not likely, but but it's it's
fun to watch you have.
Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
You have the right attitude. I need to adopt your attitude.
I'm freely admitting that. All I'm saying is last year,
this is when I really started to feel it. Michigan
goes to Ohio State and wins. Stunts everybody in college
football world. Okay, it really is one of the bigger
upsets the rivalries ever had, or that we've seen in
college football a long time. Sir, that's supposed to matter.
Speaker 7 (01:03:17):
It didn't.
Speaker 4 (01:03:19):
And the reason it didn't is because Ohio State went
on to win the national championship. I'm not saying they're
not deserving. I'm just telling you that was supposed to matter.
Those things are supposed to be, Like, holy crap, look
at not only did we beat our rival, we knocked
their ass out of what they wanted to accomplish.
Speaker 10 (01:03:37):
We knew that that was the value placed on it.
Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
Like from the fan perspective.
Speaker 10 (01:03:41):
We knew every year that game was going to decide something.
Speaker 4 (01:03:45):
And what did it decide.
Speaker 5 (01:03:47):
I would say that part sucks as a former player,
that part sucks like when Ohio State went on the
run that they had from two thousand and four to
twenty and thirteen and in two thousand and fourteen to
two thousand and that just sounds don't worry. We cooked
them in the nineties eight and we're cooking it as quickly.
Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
He got defensive.
Speaker 5 (01:04:12):
Yeah, because they forgot about the nineties the eighties, and
they're forgetting about now. But to your point, yes, it
does piss me off because when they were whooping our
butts like it was at the end of every year,
that was it. You felt the pains and how hi,
we beat you guys again, and the whole nation said
the same thing. And you're catching from something now that
(01:04:32):
we're foreigner row. Yeah, foreigner row beat them last year
means nothing. They win the national Championship and they don't
even care they lost the missions. That's never been Ohio State.
Ohio State only cared about one thing that was Michigan, like,
we don't we look we lose Ohigo State is what
it is. We'll still have a good year. I still
be able to do things that I want to do.
In life, Live my life. You lose to a high
(01:04:54):
and losing Michigan, Ohio, the year is over. That's no longer.
That is no longer there. I keep running in the
fans since they won. I'm like, but you know you
lost the Michigan Like, so we want to national chapter. Yeah,
that part of arrivaly is no longer fun.
Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
Yeah, that it used to be. It literally used to
be a Judas Priest song. Some heads are gonna roll
if you lose to Michigan. That is not.
Speaker 5 (01:05:17):
How many how many coloches have gotten fired because they
couldn't be misiging A couple of them?
Speaker 4 (01:05:21):
A couple of them.
Speaker 5 (01:05:21):
Now Ryan is still very much employed.
Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
Oh yeah, I mean he's celebrated universally.
Speaker 9 (01:05:27):
I feel like he would be gone if this was
the olden days, just maybe a decade and a half ago.
Speaker 5 (01:05:32):
Maybe I don't care what, illegally or anything. Just don't
lose Michigan. I don't care what you do. Hey, look,
you can do, You can be whoever you want to be.
You better be that team up north when in the
November comes around.
Speaker 4 (01:05:44):
At some point I will get shouted down from that philosophy,
that idea, that that belief and that desire. I get it, okay,
because at some point it's gonna be like, all right,
it's been long enough, now turn the damn page. But
while it's still fresh, this is That's how I feel,
and I think when I talk to a lot of
friends of mine who used to be that's the key phrase,
(01:06:06):
used to be big sports fans. They said the college
game turns them off more than the professional game. And
it never used to be that way. They were always
college sports first, pro second, because pro they viewed as
a business. Now they view college sports as a business,
and they recognize, especially college football, it just doesn't seem
(01:06:31):
to matter as much as it used to. It was
a prideful thing for you and your guys to go
out there and win in Columbus or beat the Buckeyes
at home. Whatever. It doesn't feel like that anymore. I
know it is, but I'm just saying it doesn't feel
like it.
Speaker 5 (01:06:42):
Also as bad football, Hey, college football has bad football.
You got a bunch of quarterbacks. I think they can
drop back and be Patrick Mahomes because you got a
bunch of these sorry ass coaches, quarterback skill coaches telling
these players, yeah, if you drop back, like this, and
do this, and go around and colling this way. Do
all the jewels you see on YouTube of in Instagram.
You're gonna be the ness. Patrick Mahme. So, you got
(01:07:03):
a bunch of overpaid high school kids coming into these
institutions trying to be quarterbacks and they're not good. They're
trying to build offenses around. You got wide receivers in
the whole nine yards. Look at the Big Ten? How
many good teams are even in the Big Ten. You're
talking about a power conference. There's Michigan, there's Ohio State,
there's Penn State, there's Oregon and who else.
Speaker 4 (01:07:22):
For what it's worth, Illinois and Indiana are both ranked
in the top twenty five preseason.
Speaker 5 (01:07:27):
And Illinois has been resurgence in the last three years.
In Indiana is the last one. It's a SEC is similar. Realistically,
acc is a joke.
Speaker 4 (01:07:38):
So how of the big conferences helped it? Then? Besides financially,
we all get that. Nobody has to be explained.
Speaker 5 (01:07:45):
To that because you're adding, you're adding institutions into those
conferences that can balance out the dominance before you added
let's say Oregon and what they are, what USC maybe
can be, what you dubbed was two years ago before
you added that. It's Ohio State, Michigan State, and the
Big Ten and the last including Wisconsin, has been trashed.
Like it's only been three teams in the last nine
(01:08:07):
years into Big Ten. Like in the SEC, it's only
been Alabama. Every once in a while you got LSU.
It's been I can't think of the other one over there, Georgia.
Excuse me, thank you got Georgia. Now you added Texas
to balance that. Now you add a Oklahoma fire Britain venables,
but now you get Oklahoma, you bring them in there.
(01:08:29):
Now you bring in an Oregon to balance out your
purdues in northwesterns and even Iowa, who can't do anything
on offense. There's just a defensive powerhouse. You bring in USC.
So I think they kind of balanced the rest of
the conference that was just getting shredded. I think that part.
Speaker 4 (01:08:44):
Has helped we all want the big Games. I get it.
So you mentioned Texas, Ohio State. If I'm an athletic
director or I'm a head coach, I get why it's
being scheduled because the television and ratings and things. There's
no flipping way I'm playing that week when this day
and age, I need to I played Week three, or
I could get my guys up to speed. And I
(01:09:06):
suppose there's an argument you can use the entire offseason
to get ready for that first game. But because they
play San Jose State, Texas does in week two, I
would not schedule that week one. That would scare the
hell out of me because of the amount of you know,
kinks that you have to get through.
Speaker 5 (01:09:22):
You said what you want to about me. I wouldn't
schedule any of these out of conference powerhouse games anymore.
You don't need to. Like in a conference, you're gonna
have that game you're gonna have to play in the playoffs,
which is gonna be that game you don't need to.
So now I'm gonna go out of my way to
schedule at Texas or Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, who I think
is gonna be really good this year. One of these teams,
(01:09:44):
I'm gonna bring them in. And oh, by the way,
I probably have to go there. Let's say I don't one, okay,
cool one v one. I still have to play Oregon,
I still have to play Penn State potentially, I still
have Ohio State. I still have what I gotta do,
and then I gotta get through a gun now to
get to the national championship game. By getting the national
championship game, it used to be thirteen game, well, twelve games,
(01:10:06):
then thirteen in fourteen fifteen, that was sixteen to win
the national champions It's crazy. So, no disrespect. I don't
need to play Texas, I don't need to play LSU,
I don't need to play those teams. I gotta play
twelve games on top of maybe the Big Ten championship,
which means absolutely nothing, and then get through the gollege.
So I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
That is so true because when I have debates with
friends of mine about the whole nil thing, I literally
say I use that example in football. I say, I
want you to think about how many games these kids play.
You know, the student athlete thing has almost become a
joke that these kids what they have to do. You
lived it. You got to go to you're lifting, you're
(01:10:48):
going to class, you're lifting or watching film. You're practicing,
you're watching film, you're going home.
Speaker 7 (01:10:55):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
It is more than a full time job, without question.
Speaker 7 (01:10:59):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
And on top of that, they're playing and they're starting
earlier than a lot of NFL teams. They're playing an
NFL schedule for the most Yes.
Speaker 5 (01:11:07):
And oh, by the way, along the way, they're supposed
to go to class. Oh that's right, you guys. The
thing that's gonna.
Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
And enjoy the college experience, which is virtually the.
Speaker 5 (01:11:18):
Money helped that the thing that is going to happen,
and eventually they're gonna say, a, right, we gotta do something.
First time, they have a team play each other three
times because it's coming, because it's coming, playing the regular
season championship and then playing the championship again. That's going.
That could have been organing in Ohio State last year.
(01:11:38):
If they didn't play in the it could have been sure.
Speaker 4 (01:11:42):
So they didn't meet in the playoffs along the one.
Speaker 5 (01:11:45):
Because now there's not a divisional side, So it's like
this cyber is this side the championship? Now it's best
two teams in the conference they played in the championship game.
What if it's the same teams.
Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
Yeah, that's not even bringing up what the fans are
being asked to do, which apparently they don't have a
problem with because it was Chuck full in the Rose Bowl.
Is Chuck full of them, and all these different bowl
games en route to the national championship game. You're asking, hey,
let's go to every single game at home, even the
even the teams that you know you're playing at the
beginning of the season, like some of the mid majors.
Then you're asking me to go to there. Now you're
(01:12:17):
asking me to go to ind And they should rotate
that by the way it should be. I mean, Ford
Field should have at least, you know, a Big Ten
championship game once in a while. And now you're gonna
ask me to go to a number of playoff games
and then the national championship. Now you don't have to
go to all of them, granted, okay, but still that's
what they're doing. They're knocking on your door. Hey man,
you ready, okay, because we've got some tickets for it.
(01:12:38):
Now I'm gonna pass on this one. That might put
you behind the eight ball there for the next one.
Speaker 5 (01:12:41):
That's when you need Michigan State to step there. Bleep up.
And this isn't a shot at Michigan State. But name
me another state that has two powerhouse essentially Big ten programs.
Now you got Michigan and Michigan state. You know how
you can get the lobbying if that team was good.
Oh Big Ten championship before a field. Well we got
this fan it's got this fan base. We have this
in place, that in place like there's no other city,
(01:13:04):
right And in East Landson are a couple of miles
apart and in Detroit for phil is right here.
Speaker 4 (01:13:10):
Amen to that. And I've said that, I've said that
forever school easy mind. They need to go to Chicago.
They need to knock on the Big Ten U director's
door and say, hey, man, Indy does a great job
of putting on these events.
Speaker 5 (01:13:26):
You know what n I'm saying. I agree.
Speaker 4 (01:13:28):
I think Indianapolis is fantastic. I love when the Big
Ten tournament is there. They built a city in Chicago.
They built then they embrace it. They're excellent at what
they do. Detroit does a hell of a job in
putting on big events. And I mean that's a hell
of a job. Okay, So I think it's a it's
incumbent on Michigan State and Michigan and others in the
Big Ten to say rotat the rotate that son of
(01:13:50):
a guy. They do it in basketball, they played the
Big Ten championship game in Washington flipping d C. You
go into a bar that weekend, you know what they're doing.
They've got the ace. They don't have the Big Ten on.
They barely even know that they're that the Maryland Turpins.
We're playing in the Big Ten. They should be at
ford Field in a rotation. You want to take it
(01:14:11):
to Minnesota, go ahead, you want to take it to Indie,
go ahead. Detroit should be in the rotation because of
what Detroit can do, because of what Ford Field is,
and because of the proven track record that the city
of Detroit has shown everybody in the world on what
we can do. Why isn't it who is sleeping at
the wheel. We could get a Lift Tournament, we can
get a Ryder Cup, we can get All Star games
(01:14:33):
and championship, but we can't get a Big Ten championship
game that has basically been down to nothing.
Speaker 5 (01:14:38):
That's because the Big Ten don't like Michigan. It ain't
no secret.
Speaker 4 (01:14:42):
What are you talking?
Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
Big Ten don't like Michigan?
Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
Why hold on?
Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
The Big Ten conference doesn't like Michigan. They never have
Why because when the leaders in the best you see
all that. BS then went on with Harrorball and all
the harball and all that. How n the Big Ten
went after Michigan extra and still going after Michigan.
Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
Kevin, I mean, look, there are some things.
Speaker 5 (01:15:02):
They don't like Michigan. It's okay to say I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:15:05):
I don't believe that I do. I don't believe that
because Michigan's a money.
Speaker 5 (01:15:10):
Cow for It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You can
appreciate the money that people You can appreciate the money
that people bring in. At the same time, not like
that person. Now, just get somebody who's a cash call
for It doesn't mean you have to like them. Agree
that is true in business.
Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
That's an excellent point. I don't think the Big Ten
looks at Michigan and says I'm out to get them.
I don't like them.
Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
Kevin Warren's black asstore was and he got him up
out of there.
Speaker 4 (01:15:37):
Well, if that's if they got him up out of there,
well he didn't know.
Speaker 5 (01:15:40):

He went to Buddy I want to know now. I

Speaker 5 (01:23:06):
And we back Guardians. Guardian's picture had a no hitter.
Yeah you saw that one freaking so about time he
did something for them. I'm just joking.
Speaker 4 (01:23:19):
He has had a disappointing season.
Speaker 5 (01:23:21):
He think, I'm gonna tell you like this when you
sign for.
Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
Six plus seven plus.
Speaker 5 (01:23:27):
Excuse me, I thought six eighty five when you signed
for seven seven plus, Well, i'd be I'd be outside
his house with pitchforks and he broke up with no
hitter though with just hated himself two outs to go.
Speaker 8 (01:23:42):
Come on, man, you you know you would do the
same thing if you could. What if you was if
he was up at bat and got the break up
of no hitter?
Speaker 5 (01:23:48):
No, no, you're absolutely right. But I was saying, like,
for seven hundred million dollars, like he's his contract seven
hundred million this year, show and there's him.
Speaker 4 (01:23:57):
No, it's him then show. Oh that's right, Yeah, he
surpassed show.
Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (01:24:04):
When you say you.
Speaker 8 (01:24:05):
Don't have to for dollars either, they didn't add up
the gambling money either.
Speaker 4 (01:24:08):
When you say, where's that ring? Ring that bell? After that?
When you say when you say that, come on, you
know you do that to break up a no hitter?
What are you suggesting? Would you bunt to break up
a no hitter?
Speaker 8 (01:24:23):
He had a home run by the way, Yeah, No,
that's what I'm saying. I would do it with a
home run. No, I don't think I will. I don't
think I will bunt. I would do it. I would swing,
I would have to swing.
Speaker 7 (01:24:31):
Yeah, is it is it frowned upon to bunt?
Speaker 9 (01:24:34):
If it's a close game, I'm bunting if it helps
my team.
Speaker 4 (01:24:38):
When you got a bunt man, I'm planning. Here. Here's
my question. If if you bunt the ball and you
get on base, is it a base hit? I think so, Okay,
sure it is unless I got right. Okay, So why
is it such a bad thing to bunt your way on?
I'd i'd butt a second to break up.
Speaker 5 (01:24:57):
I think it's because people aren't as skilled as it.
I think, like the attempt that bunny isn't what it
used to be like back in the day, bunny was
quality like now, like people if you're trying to bunt
right now, like.
Speaker 4 (01:25:08):
You don't see it very often.
Speaker 5 (01:25:10):
That's like free throw. I mean, it's like the mid
range game something.
Speaker 7 (01:25:14):
Like they would know you're just intentionally doing it to
break it up.
Speaker 4 (01:25:17):
I suppose if it were, if it's like eight to nothing,
that's a little different, you know. I don't know what
the I don't know what the level score would have
to be in order for it to be taboo. I
still feel like set with silver like, you know what, listen,
but bring the third basement in. If there's nobody on you,
bring your third basement in. I don't know what's what's
so hard about that?
Speaker 5 (01:25:36):
If if you were at the play, Yeah, and a
picture that you respected as a colleague at the time,
that you respected, he was one strike or two strikes
or just you're a bat from a perfect game. For sure,
this was a and this was a This game didn't
mean anything. This is a game in May. Would you
(01:26:00):
would you?
Speaker 4 (01:26:00):
Would you?
Speaker 5 (01:26:01):
Would you do the Michael Strahan.
Speaker 4 (01:26:04):
To Brett Farr, Well, do you mean would you would
you do the Brett Favre to Michael stramm him right
right right, reverse, Absolutely not, I would not. I think
you've got it. When people say it doesn't mean anything
in May, Eventually it does. If you finish a game
out of a wild card spot, perhaps that game in
(01:26:24):
May did mean something.
Speaker 7 (01:26:26):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:26:26):
I believe I've always been to belief that I love
my friends dearly. I tell them that all the time.
I want to beat them, oftentimes more times than I
want to beat my ms. Okay, and I don't have
many enemies, so I'm not going that far. I don't understand.
But Braylan, I mean, come on, you're playing against brothers.
I mean, guys who have been in the huddle with you.
Want to beat them on a post route and all
those different things as much as anybody else, no matter
(01:26:49):
whether it's a preseason game. You talk about the game
that you had against Detroit. Yeah, okay, in a preseason
you remember that, don't you.
Speaker 5 (01:26:56):
True?
Speaker 4 (01:26:56):
Okay, so absolutely, I do it. By the way, it's
nine to four twins and now lead at nine. They've
scored in every inning except for terrible.
Speaker 7 (01:27:04):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (01:27:04):
That reminds me of a sports videos all years ago
where a guy had to he had to strike out
his best friend and win the state championship. Yes, and
he does it, but then he goes and hugs the friend.
I'm like, that's how you do it. I'm still gonna win.
Speaker 4 (01:27:15):
I saw that.
Speaker 8 (01:27:16):
I love you, but I gotta get I gotta get
this chip.
Speaker 4 (01:27:18):
Sure, sure, otherwise you lose respect. Right So here kool
aid after I said it's ninety four terrible, just terrible, shout.
Speaker 5 (01:27:27):
Out to It's one of those things, man, It's like
it's all fun and games until it's not. It's all
fun and games. I ask these questions and it's like, oh, no, no,
where we're not in this. And then you look up
and you're in a whole divisional race, right, you know
what I'm saying. In three weeks and it's and then
it's like, oh, well we need this. I'm more of
the I see it when I see it and what
(01:27:48):
I see from now.
Speaker 4 (01:27:50):
That there is the assumption, I think, well, you're playing
the Twins. I think they're thirteen games under five hundred. Okay,
they haven't reached five hundred on the road. They sold
off everything they basically had. I mean, you can't really
name many guys in their lineup, Royce Lewis, Ryan Jeffers,
I suppose Matt Wallner. There's a few guys, but it's
(01:28:13):
not like their household names.
Speaker 5 (01:28:14):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:28:15):
So, when you feel like a team has waived the
white flag and said we're done, we're moving forward, We're
just gonna see something. They have no business being on
the same field as a team that has amongst the
most wins in all of baseball.
Speaker 5 (01:28:28):
And also a team that we keep asking after each game,
when are they gonna turn that corner? When is it
gonna start to look a little bit different. When is
it gonna be a little more consistent? Like, I'm patient,
I'm with you, I'm patient, but I wanted to get
consistent again. I don't mind them losing games, but I
need you to win more than you lose. I need
you to Hey, look, here's five games. It needs you
(01:28:49):
to win three, lose two. I don't need you to
win one lose four.
Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
Right So right now, if they lose today, and it
sure looks like they're going to, but it's early, it's
the top of the eighth, they will live on six
of their last ten.
Speaker 7 (01:29:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:29:04):
See, Koley just made a WinCE, sneaky like they just
drew blood and that's not good enough, not good enough
against the team. Liked the process a little bit.
Speaker 9 (01:29:13):
And I'm seeing some people here in the chat chilling
under Vincena. He says this, goodness, gratch, he's he's starting
to crash. I'm just looking at how these things go.
But his last comment was I'm starting to not care
because it seems like they don't care relating to the Tigers.
Speaker 4 (01:29:30):
Yeah, I struggle with that. And here's why everybody, every athlete,
every individual shows how much they care in a different way. Okay,
and I always use this example, and I've got to
find a new one. I'll be honest with it. I
think Prince Fielder cared, but there's a lot of people
who caught him in a blowoutlass in the dugout, laughing
(01:29:51):
with Miguel Cabrera, and people were living. They were pissed.
You know, you don't care enough, you know, just because
you're losing. Yeah, but they're not athletes. Crap me if
I'm wrong here. Athletes aren't hanging on every single play
in every single game, especially baseball player.
Speaker 7 (01:30:08):
And that's just a personality.
Speaker 8 (01:30:10):
I want to be known to not be as serious
when people think you're supposed to be.
Speaker 7 (01:30:14):
I'm the one.
Speaker 8 (01:30:14):
I'll mess around a cracker joke, but that's just who
I am.
Speaker 5 (01:30:18):
I also think there's I also think there's a difference
too that you look at a different sport like my sport.
My sport at sixteen games, there's no time laughing, joking sideline,
you getting your ass kicked. I remember a specific time
two thousand and six. I'm on the sideline playing for
the Cleveland Browns at the time, and we're getting destroyed
offensively in terms of the defensive line getting to the
(01:30:39):
quarterback getting demolished offensive line. In fact, somebody on the
team for the somebody on the coaching staff for the
Detroit Lions was on this team. It's about six minutes
left in the game. Charlie Fry has been sacked ten times.
Go look the numbers up. I'm not lying. Two thousand
and six Bengals and Brown. I don't know if it's
(01:31:01):
the first time we played them, anyway, nine nine sacks,
nine sacks.
Speaker 4 (01:31:06):
I come off, yeah, nine, shout out Charlie Frying, akron.
Speaker 5 (01:31:10):
Uh interesting character. Legitimately, I get to the sideline and
the offensive line is over all of them, the whole
offensive line. You know, you thinking about the game offensive lineman.
It's not three of them or four of them or five,
it's all of them. Always. No, they're laughing, giggling, and
they're talking about the I don't know if it was
(01:31:31):
called of duty. I think it was called duty. But
PSP PSP was the thing on the travel Trust p
PSP sony PSP. Those jokers were laughing and giggling and
talking about different boards and who got who last time
and this that and the third y'all jokers just gave
up nine sacks. Yeah, wild y'all gave up nine sacks.
And so there's an infamous clip. You can pull it up.
(01:31:51):
It says Braylor Networks Charlie Fry sideline altercation. There was
no sideline altercation with Braylor News and Charlie Fry. There
was Brakland that was going off on the offensive, lineman
who was giggling and doing all the other extra stuff,
and we're all here getting killed. Meanwhile, Charlie Friday back
of his jersey, he's got grass stands all on it.
It's like a green nine. I was pissed. I went off.
(01:32:13):
I grabbed his jersey to show them what it looked like.
And then it looked on camera it looks like I'm grabbing,
which I was not, and everyone knows that.
Speaker 4 (01:32:20):
So but what was the response from them?
Speaker 5 (01:32:23):
More laughing and giggling. Oh why because we're getting out,
you know what's who? That was the beginning of the
end for me in Cleveland, Like, I just like that
mentality isn't what I came from in u of M.
But getting back on point, it's sixteen games. It can't
be any laughing and giggling. You know, you play one
hundred and sixty two games. At that point, you play
one hundred and six two games.
Speaker 4 (01:32:43):
There's jokes.
Speaker 5 (01:32:44):
How many times you see guys kicking in some flower
season and they're losing. I guarantee you it's some tigers
laughing right now.
Speaker 4 (01:32:50):
Maybe that's because here's what they know, and whether you
accept it or not, maybe different. But here's what they know.
Last year, the Dodgers won the championship, right, the only
games they lost sixty four. The year before Texas won
the World Series. You know how many games they lost,
sixty seventy two. Okay, so it's it's gonna happen in baseball,
(01:33:11):
You're right, Football is, it's a bad I used a
bad example. Football is not a good example because it's
once a week and there should be no lolly gegis
now afterwards. So that's an interesting point afterwards when you
see guys, when you see a team get their ass
kicked and you got guys switching jerseys.
Speaker 7 (01:33:29):
Boy, yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (01:33:30):
Do see that, right, we do see that. That pisses
a lot of fans off.
Speaker 8 (01:33:33):
That's social media era, bro, that's that's stuff would never
get sit right with me.
Speaker 4 (01:33:37):
Yeah, I can't imagine. You know, guys back in the day,
Reggie White exchanging jerseys or Lawrence Taylor or Fred Dryer,
those guys, they wouldn't do that.
Speaker 5 (01:33:46):
Let's see, I disagree. I had you guys. Oh, look
who's coming in the studio. I think it's my mom.
Had you had you guys over to the house. Yeah,
I took you in the back room. Pause on that,
and also shows you a box. And in that box
there was a bunch of jerseys. There was Reggie Wayne jersey.
There was a jersey. There was a Champ Bailey jersey.
(01:34:07):
There was Andre Johnson jersey. There I got those after games.
I was a fan of the work. I was a
fan of the individual slide slid sl slid slide fly slid.
Speaker 4 (01:34:20):
Can she can put it between the doors.
Speaker 5 (01:34:22):
You can bring it up your mom. It's all good.
It's two seconds.
Speaker 4 (01:34:26):
They won't even have She goes, I'm illegally parked. I
don't want to come up.
Speaker 7 (01:34:30):
Here the club.
Speaker 6 (01:34:32):
See there's there's there's the difference. There's the difference again.
There you go, you look good, have a great day,
have a great day.
Speaker 11 (01:34:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:34:44):
I want a concert with moms. But I forgot.
Speaker 4 (01:34:48):
Oh you going to concert with mom tonight? Yeah? Very cool. Yeah,
but you were talking about your jersey. You're getting Reggie Wayne.
So you think, guys, I'm saying back in the day
before the social media, which is what got it's different,
I think, yeah, I want they wanted to kill each other,
you know. The respect was I'll give you a hug
on the field, you know, and we're talking the off season.
That's what it was like, Hey, I'm glad you made
(01:35:09):
it through the game healthy. I'm glad I made through
the game healthy. We'll talk in the off season. Now
it's you know, we're going out tonight.
Speaker 7 (01:35:15):
Yeah, and I think I feel like that's what's the
thing I'm not used to. Is they doing that right
after the game?
Speaker 5 (01:35:19):
Thank you, Lebron.
Speaker 8 (01:35:20):
Yes, that's that's real quick.
Speaker 7 (01:35:23):
I caught that clip.
Speaker 8 (01:35:24):
This is how I know that you were really over
Cleveland because it was forty seven seconds left in the
third quarter when you started to go off.
Speaker 4 (01:35:32):
Oh but you'll had.
Speaker 7 (01:35:34):
A whole another quarter of it to go.
Speaker 4 (01:35:35):
That's how man.
Speaker 5 (01:35:36):
It was like I promised crazy. In fact, hold on,
what was that game? What's the uh? I just click
you can go ahead.
Speaker 4 (01:35:46):
But what I was going to say was Cleveland should
embrace you.
Speaker 5 (01:35:49):
For that that.
Speaker 4 (01:35:51):
Should be celebrated. Well, I mean, if we're talking about caring, okay,
the gas level, the given ship level. If you're caring,
you at it as high as anybody on that day.
Why would anybody hold that against you? Most people would
be like, Braylink, you're my guy.
Speaker 5 (01:36:06):
Perception. Perception is reality at the time. Even now, what
do you say about the wide receiver position? What do
you guys say about it? And this is everybody.
Speaker 4 (01:36:13):
People say it's a diva that's necessarily fair.
Speaker 5 (01:36:16):
But it's not about what's fair enough what's said about it,
and what's said is it's a diva position. So when
you got a young receiver who just got drafted third
overall and I won't even go that route. All receivers
it in the town with black, but it doesn't look right.
You got this black receiver pulling on his white quarterbacks
jersey and when you watch it on TV, it just
looks like I'm grabbing his jersey. So the team never spent,
(01:36:38):
never gave the right angle, They never came out and
said it was going off. But here's why you can't
support me, because what am I doing, I'm essentially calling
on eleven players on the field live in the game.
I'm calling out the whole offensive line, and they can't
come out here and say, well, it wasn't about Charlie Fry.
It was about the offensive lineman giggling have to giving
(01:37:00):
up nine sacks and Charlie Fry Almoms getting his neck broke.
They can't say that either. I get so now I
get stuck in the conundrum.
Speaker 4 (01:37:08):
If you're a pr person, you could easily spin in
say he was upset about something else that had nothing
to do with Charlie. All he did was was support Charlie.
If you can't and let people and let people, let
members of the media dig for the rest of it.
Speaker 5 (01:37:22):
See, and this is where if I had have played
at Ohio State, that would have came out. But I
played at Michigan. It's a little different in Ohio. I
know that sounds crazy. I hope that everybody that's been
there since I left it said the same thing. I
pray Mason Graham it's a little bit different.
Speaker 4 (01:37:39):
I hope so too. Speaking of Mason Graham, uh, he
was taken early in the NFL Draft as a defensive tackle.
The Lions chose to go with the defensive tackle and
Tyler Williams. Here's Dan Campbell on how their first round
pick is progressing. Splashy is practice in the backfield a
(01:38:02):
lot where if you've seen him grill the most from
the game.
Speaker 11 (01:38:05):
Of camp Uh, yeah, well he's what we saw on
his college tape is really showing up here. And that's
his ability to play to really get knocked back, you know,
into the backfield. Uh, kind of recreate the line of scrimmage.
He's got a good shot and shed sometimes a little
(01:38:26):
too good. He'll jump out of a gap if you're
not careful. So we're trying to just stay on him
with that and and then he can get an edge,
you know, his rush, he can get an edge. He's
he's trending the right way, he's growing. We just got
to get him in better shape, you know, and that'll
come there again with reps. Uh, we're gonna give those
guys today a ton of reps.
Speaker 7 (01:38:47):
You know.
Speaker 11 (01:38:47):
Out there, We're gonna work you know, a two minute
drill that'll be it'll be good for everybody, really, they
all need it. So from a coach's perspective, what does
it like to work.
Speaker 4 (01:39:00):
Our Thanks to Detroy Lyons really good sound there that
they put up on their website. T troent Lions dot
com for helping us with that. And Dan Campbell on
Tyleek Williams, who you know should be a key contributor
early early on. What will you need to see from
him if and I hope he does play Friday against Atlanta,
we expect him to.
Speaker 5 (01:39:19):
I need him to be physical. Let's start there. You're
talking about one of the big guys up front. I
know he lost some weight, he's still floating around probably
three hundred and eighteen pounds or so. Coming out of
Ohio State. Ohio State on defense has been soft soft
within Capital s FT. They have been soft for the
last four years. Hence the dominance up front by the
(01:39:40):
University of Michigan and other teams that have played them
in space.
Speaker 4 (01:39:44):
How do you win a national championship by being the.
Speaker 5 (01:39:45):
Soft because, well, realistically, because it's a finesse league now anyway,
everybody's finesse. You get to the organ's a finesse team,
like SMU is a finesse team. Penn State has turned
into a finesse team. With the exception of outside linebackers.
They still know how to hit. It's a finesse instant,
It's just finesse now. That's where the game has gone.
That's why when you have a team that can play
discipline ball, that can play physical ball and mix it
(01:40:09):
with some speed, they can win championships. I e. The
University of Michigan, I E. Georgia, I E. Bama, I E.
Clemson when they were doing it. They're still with the
physical mode. I need him to show me that he's physical.
That's what I want to see out of him. And
that's what Kelvin is preaching. That's what Dan Campbell has
started here. It's the physicality. It's tough, it's relentless, it's nasty.
(01:40:32):
This is what Kevin Shepperd said he wanted to be.
That's what I want to see. You're a big fella.
I don't want to see you being all nice and
cool and smiling and you know, hey, and I'm big.
No no, no, I need you get after somebody. You're the
big guy up front. You set the tone up front.
Ellen McNeil says, the tone up front, like you can
be nice. Quinn Williams has one of the best smiles
in the NFL New York Jets. Quinn will best smile
(01:40:55):
in the NFL when the game starts, you know where
he's gonna be in the backfield with ruthless aggression. Chris Jones,
Cameron Hayward, the list goes on. Now. I'm not saying
he has to be as great as those guys, but
I need him to play and embody that spirit. I
don't want to see all It's different when you're a
big guy upfront going against the offensive line. So that's
what I need to see out of him. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:41:15):
I've heard.
Speaker 5 (01:41:17):
I've heard from my young bulls at Michigan a lot
of soft guys, A lot of comments came off the
other side of the ball. So I don't want him
to be a part of that. I need him to
embody with Dan Campbell and in that grid here. I
got to see that because right now I'm hoping. I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:41:33):
What's the opportunity for him he's got. I mean, he's
got a chance to establish himself as in every probably
not every down because they rotate inside, but as as
a starter right away him Ali McNeil, him, DJ Reader,
he's got a chance to really stand out.
Speaker 5 (01:41:49):
Don't you think I would like it to be him?
And Alee McNeil. DJ Reader is a guy that we
got for a short term, figure it out for a
couple of years. Yeah, he's the guy right now. He
and Talite Williams while Lee McNeil comes back. When Lee
McNeil is ready, I want them to be sliding DJ
Reader to the bench and having them to Leak Williams
in there, and I want I want I want DJ
to bet the guy coming off the bench. That's what
(01:42:11):
I want from you're talking about October is when you
get a Lee McNeil back, maybe mid maybe November. I
need when he comes back. I wanted to be to
leak and him.
Speaker 4 (01:42:22):
I know it's different because it's a different position, but roughly,
what do you think we can expect from him in
terms of plays, reps, quarters, whatever. That's what everybody wants
to know when they go to camp, always asking coaches
how long are we going to see the starters? How
long are we going to see the rookies? How long
would you expect to see Tyler Williams in that rotation?
(01:42:44):
At least for the first preseason game.
Speaker 5 (01:42:46):
I think he gets a strong two to three series.
I think it's strong to the three series and maybe
more in the second game, well, the third, I think
two to three series. You want to see what he has.
You don't want to play him too much, but you
gotta get him out there, you know, and you're looking
for a drive to go. That's when in preseason and
training camp, those are the drives you look for. You
look for him to have the offense talking about against
(01:43:06):
Tillie Williams and defense. You look for him to have
about eight nine, ten, eleven, twelve play drive so that
you can watch him grow within the series. You can
see what happens after he may misattackle what happens you know,
if they have to stay on the field too long.
Where's his where's his breath? You know? Is he in shape?
Is he not in shape? What does it look like?
How does he think? How does he process situations that
(01:43:27):
come on the fly. It's one thing to call things
out in the film room when you feel confident and
you're sitting there watching it. What does it look like
on that field where it's you and the other.
Speaker 4 (01:43:36):
Ten doesn't matter who he plays with or just who
he plays against. In other words, if there's a starter
next to him or starters behind him, does it really matter.
Speaker 5 (01:43:46):
No, because I still can see the things.
Speaker 7 (01:43:47):
You know.
Speaker 5 (01:43:48):
Obviously, you'll be much better once you're playing alongside of
the guys that are going to start, alongside guys that
you know you built that rhythm of cadence with. But
I just want to see the physicality. I don't need
to see left or right or north and south to
see if you're physical, if you can fill the gaps,
to see if you can tackle guys in space, to
see what that aggression looks like when you grab somebody,
like are you just tackling somebody and get them to
the ground or are you picking somebody up and letting
(01:44:10):
them know seventy eight tackles.
Speaker 10 (01:44:13):
I'm being real no.
Speaker 9 (01:44:14):
By That's what I liked about the comments because they
talked about the versatility of Toddleague Williams that he's showing
and the physicality too.
Speaker 4 (01:44:21):
They said that he's re.
Speaker 9 (01:44:22):
Establishing a line of scrimmage, and I want to ask you,
I know that he was brought here to effectively play
you know, interior, the inside of that defensive line. But
Dan also talked about the fact that he's establishing and
has a speed. He's getting into the backfield so fast
that he's establishing an edge as well.
Speaker 5 (01:44:37):
Yeah, I think it's about the more you can do.
You know, Brad Holmes has shown you the whole time
he's been here. The more you can do at a position,
the more you can do for the Detroit Lions, the
more valuable you will be. So you're talking about a
guy that can get to the quarterback as well as
just clog it up. I mean, Chris Jones. I keep
using him. I know he's the elite of the elite
as it relates to defensive tackles on the inside, but
(01:44:58):
he does it all. You see him in a run game.
He shows up when they just need him. Hey, look
on this play, Chris. We just need you to blow
it up and then we'll figure it out. From around you.
I've been hearing great news about Marcus Davenport in terms
about how he'sn't playing. You talked about it yesterday, Lynchpin
and all this kind of stuff. So if you can
get this, you get that, you can get a lean
to start floating and creating some mismatches because you're gonna
(01:45:18):
have a lot of guards that are older and they
don't understand. That's one thing he does well. He moves
laterally well for a big man, kind of like Lee
McNeil a little bit, so you can get to the
quarterback and establish that look the f out.
Speaker 4 (01:45:30):
Yeah, that's what I like about this. In fact, I
remember reading up on him before the draft, and some
of the comparisons of Tyler Williams to NFL players was
Ali McNeil. Now, I don't know if Dan Campbell's just
telling people, you know, because Lions Nation is still upset
(01:45:50):
about not dealing with, you know, the opposite and rusher
of Eden Hutchinson. I can't imagine Tyler Williams being quick
enough to play off the edge the edge, but if
he can impass, yeah, if he can rush the passer inside,
I think that's where you become almost as valuable because
(01:46:11):
no quarterback, as you know, no quarter coming from the
edge is one thing you can always step up. Most
quarterbacks will tell you I don't want pressure in my face.
That's when it becomes the most difficult. And if he
can add that, that's a huge bonus for us. And
I don't even look at quarterback sacks. I'm talking about
pressures and getting hands on guys.
Speaker 10 (01:46:30):
Stephen Baffi in the chat, he agrees with you.
Speaker 9 (01:46:33):
He says pressure up the middle is more devastating and
valuable than edge pressure.
Speaker 4 (01:46:37):
That's just in his opinion. But the only probably the
only thing I would say to that is NFL personnel
don't necessarily always agree with you and I, Steven, because
look at who makes all the money.
Speaker 5 (01:46:48):
Yeah, this is when you got to see what Kelvin
sheperd is as it relates to a defensive coordinator because
the concepts of things they're gonna be coming from him
and games is gonna be one of the great things.
You're talking about a guy getting to the quarterback from
the interiors. But that's when you create these games and
the games you know, for those out there, it's when
outside linebacker comes inside, grabs or sheds, and then the
interior guy comes around on the outside or match excuse me,
(01:47:12):
or versions like that. Sometimes you can go outside and
stunts and so on, and so there you go stunts
and twists.
Speaker 9 (01:47:17):
But like Kelvin Shepard is big on that, and then
that pointed that out on.
Speaker 5 (01:47:21):
The broadcast doing the playoffs, and that's gonna be good
for them. You get to leak Williams be able to
move like that, you know, maybe it's not putting him
on the head, but what it is is you got
you know, Aiden coming down hard and lean wrapping around.
You know, you got this big guy out there in
space three eighteen. You're looking like where am I going
to go? So that could be really interesting and really cool.
It's still a month left for the season. It's still
(01:47:42):
a month, still a lot of time.
Speaker 4 (01:47:45):
It just can't get here fast. And I mean, it's
one of those times. And I love talking sports with
people and all kinds of different sports, but it is
it's one of those times where the anticipation for football
is so high, and it is so it energizes so
many of us you wanted to get There's a part
(01:48:06):
of me it's almost like leading up to Christmas for me.
Speaker 7 (01:48:08):
I was just about to say it literally, leading.
Speaker 4 (01:48:10):
Up to Christmas is oftentimes my favorite time of the year.
When Christmas comes, it's almost like a letdown because the
build up has been so much, so enjoyable. The build
up to football is so enjoyable right now, even though
there's there's a number of questions in training camp. When
the first game finally comes, I mean, it's it's so
(01:48:31):
awesome to know that whole week. I can't wait the
countdown is on. It's like when you were in you know,
the practice facility at the University of Michigan and they
got the countdown clock up there before you play Ohio
State that week. There's something different about that week.
Speaker 5 (01:48:46):
It is you know that clock, is that clock is
a real deal. And you get looking at that clock
every time you leave that locker room. Is it gets
closer and it gets closer, and it gets closer like
your body starts to change your hair on the back
of your next you start swaiting just you know that
it's getting close and it's getting close to something great.
Speaker 8 (01:49:05):
That's why one of the best marketing lines to me
is waiting all day for Sunday night. That's to me,
that's one of the that's the best way to describe it.
Like we're literally just waiting to get to the game
and then we're just continue to wait. Yeah, right, best way.
That's good.
Speaker 4 (01:49:16):
All right, let's get to the mail bag, shall we.

Speaker 4 (01:51:14):
Mail bag mail bag, Let's go. You know what I'm watching.
I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, I'm watching the Braylen Edwards
explosion on the sidelines for Cleveland. Yeah, talking to Ruben Drones,
talking to the offensive lineman. It's not something that I
had necessarily seen. His team is down twenty three zip
(01:51:34):
and there was just a minute left and he's yeah,
it doesn't look like he's grabbing Charlie Fry. It looks
like Ruben Drones he's not.
Speaker 5 (01:51:44):
And that's also I was super close to Ruby two
as my guy. That was probably the first older, older
cat kind of showed me the rolls I hung out
with kind of learned a little bit of game for
but he messed it up because him coming over the
grabbed me, Yeah, makes it look like I'm trying so
you can see me like, no, Ruven, I'm talking about this.
Speaker 8 (01:52:03):
It's like I just want a situations like you're mad
at the wrong person. Don't grab me, like don't get
don't grab me.
Speaker 5 (01:52:10):
Just stand next to him, like you don't grab me,
just stand next to me.
Speaker 7 (01:52:14):
Right because you weren't wrong.
Speaker 4 (01:52:16):
And and that's why TV doesn't you with justice now
And then.
Speaker 17 (01:52:19):
You know you're you're looks it from TV at the
point it looks like you're yelling at Reuben drones and
really what you're saying doing you got to understand where
I'm coming from.
Speaker 4 (01:52:30):
Blah blah blah blah blah. Right then you grabbed Charlie
France and said this is what I'm talking about, and
he intercepts you just to say, don't put your hands
on it.
Speaker 5 (01:52:37):
And at the end of the day, but this is
also to like the more you know, this is my
second year. This is is a learning experience for me. Look,
it's like they say and the Godfather never discuss family
business outside the family.
Speaker 4 (01:52:48):
Never let them know what you're thinking.
Speaker 5 (01:52:50):
I discussed family business outside of the family with my actions.
So it's a learning experience. You live, you learn.
Speaker 4 (01:52:57):
All right, let's get back to the mailbag. Sorry about cool,
Go ahead, no, may we got it.
Speaker 9 (01:53:01):
I love these stories from Bray and I'm hoping that
the Chat family they appreciate them too. I saw these
comments the people love the breakdown on Isaac Tesla and
love it and such.
Speaker 4 (01:53:11):
That segment clip blew up.
Speaker 9 (01:53:12):
If you haven't seen it, Chat family, get to the YouTube,
make sure you find it. You'll see Tesla's face on there.
And it's former NFL wide receiver reacts two and it
was epic.
Speaker 4 (01:53:21):
Man. So I'm really happy for Tesla. I think he's
gonna be I think he's gonna be a really good player.
I'm excited for the season in the regard that we've
got a guy who played at the highest level who
can tell us how he's helping the offense. Wide receivers
tight ends all these days, they can help the offense
without getting catches. We just don't always and when I
(01:53:44):
say we, I mean me too. We're not. We don't
always recognize it, you know, because what are we doing.
We're watching Jared Goff back to pass, looks left, find
Saint Brown out on an outpattern.
Speaker 5 (01:53:55):
Caught.
Speaker 4 (01:53:55):
That's a pickup of eleven. We don't know what Tesla
did as a member of the the outside and driving
a guy out to clear open that spot. He's gonna
be able to break that down for us.
Speaker 5 (01:54:05):
Yeah what you just said right there, that's I'm saying
Brown in the slot. Legitimately, you got a corner outside
on Tesla. Tesla is gonna take a go route because
Testla is sixty three and a half uh to eighteen.
Oh shoot, it's a go route. I got to open
my hipsits a DP, turn my back to the inside
safety in the play. Now I'm up the sideline. Now
when I'm Brown runs that out, it's a one on
(01:54:25):
one situation. Catches that out if that guy misses that
tackle because the dB is way down the field with Tesla. Yeah,
that's now a chance to go for you know much more.
That's the little things of how you influenced the game.
He didn't catch a passing that right, but the guys
got open.
Speaker 8 (01:54:41):
Or one of my favorites when a receiver will be
running a rout and say somebody called it underneath he'll
continue to run the route.
Speaker 7 (01:54:47):
So that dB. That's one of my favorite.
Speaker 4 (01:54:51):
The Scout report.
Speaker 9 (01:54:52):
You know, oh, we don't have to even really take
this side of to feel serious.
Speaker 4 (01:54:56):
That's gonna mess up everything on others that that'll be.
That'll be part of Braylan's breakdown on a weekly basis,
set outside by the way, so that the light Lions.
The Tigers are down nine to four, it's the bottom
of the ninth. They've got a man on. There's nobody else.
Riley Green's up. Riley Green's o for three with two strikeers.
Speaker 7 (01:55:13):
So you're saying, no, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (01:55:15):
But what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that Riley Green,
who I mean?
Speaker 7 (01:55:21):
I do?
Speaker 4 (01:55:22):
I love him? Okay, I think he's awesome. I like
him so much. I think he's a really good player.
One hundred and fifty two strikeouts is a lot. It
leads all of baseball. It doesn't lead the American League
or the Ale Center. It leads all of baseball this year.
Unless things go differently and go and they go further
(01:55:43):
than a lot, He's gonna get labeled this. It's hard
to shake labels. It is you know that better than anybody. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:55:49):
Also to like, for one hundred and fifty ten strikeouts,
you've got to be giving me coswarb a production, right,
just struck out again, So that's three punches.
Speaker 4 (01:55:58):
Kyle Schwarver's got forty five, you're hitting forty bombs. You
can overlook you're Aaron Judge, you're hitting fifty three bombs.
You can overlook the one hundred and seventy one one hundred
if you're not. And he's got what twenty eight twenty
six home runs, which is okay, but no, I mean
it's not a it's not Washington.
Speaker 5 (01:56:16):
If you're in eighty five strikeouts, then that's good, then
that's really good. Twenty six eighty five, one hundred and
fifty two, it's just not.
Speaker 4 (01:56:23):
Yeah, and now one fifty three that's crazy. Alright, back
to the Mailbax.
Speaker 9 (01:56:27):
Yeah, I'm gonna clean up some super chats first. Here
shout out to to QB in the chat. Been there,
he says, push through Tigers, pushed through with the two
dollars super chat, don te one five one with the
one not even not super chat, it says the Osbournes
back in two thousand and two was one of his
best shows, one of the best shows on h V
(01:56:47):
on MTV early when we were talking about MTV music and.
Speaker 8 (01:56:50):
That some of the old show down Fall, that was
if you want a good lad that was Revamp.
Speaker 5 (01:56:55):
Yeah, it's for him, it will It helped him, I
must say it helped.
Speaker 7 (01:56:58):
Him, say EMPTV.
Speaker 8 (01:57:00):
That was one of the first reality shows they had
at the beginning of no music, but yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:57:03):
For him it was.
Speaker 4 (01:57:05):
But at least it was music related, you know what
I mean? You could almost see the connotation and I
agree with you a little of a stretch there, Ricky,
But I would say this, if you want a good laughing,
go to YouTube. You can follow us on YouTube. You know,
that's where you watch Woodward Sports too. But if you
wanted a good laugh go type in him and his
beer and how he comes out. Someone took all my bills.
(01:57:29):
Pretty freaking no idea.
Speaker 7 (01:57:30):
Who he wasn't too?
Speaker 4 (01:57:31):
That show it made There's not there are not many.
He's a superstar. Okay, he's a superstar in the world
of rock. There's not many superstars who would allow themselves
to be filmed like that and shown as that vulnerable.
Speaker 7 (01:57:46):
He was against it in the beginning it was Sharon
that really talked them in.
Speaker 4 (01:57:49):
You could understand why you would be against it. He
comes out of his bedroom. He says, someone took all
my bill out of my refrigerator. I don't think so, darling,
And he goes, oh, I would be against that too.
Don't make it look great. Hey shout out to Michael Waring.
Speaker 5 (01:58:02):
A lot of drugs, I would says, and somebody else
is you'urine?
Speaker 4 (01:58:14):
True? But Cruz.
Speaker 9 (01:58:17):
Shout out to Michael Wherry. He sent in two different
two dollars. He said he believes that the Super Conferences.
He believes that you get better competition this way. And
he also believes this with the second Super chat. Uh
he gave it.
Speaker 4 (01:58:31):
He got three likes on this one.
Speaker 9 (01:58:32):
He believes that Michigan and Notre Dame need to renew
the rivalry.
Speaker 5 (01:58:36):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (01:58:37):
I agree with that too. I agree he's dead on there.
Speaker 5 (01:58:40):
I agree because that's different than Michigan scheduling l s
U or Georgia Alabama. That's Michigan scheduled team. Yes, they
got to the final four last year, that was a
game away from the championship. That's the team that they know.
That's a rivalry that the country knows. You know, I
know Notre Dames rival with everyone, but Michigan is probably,
you know, somewhere between three to five in terms of
(01:59:02):
Notre Dames rivalry games.
Speaker 9 (01:59:04):
He spent some epic, epic epic highlights as far as.
Speaker 4 (01:59:08):
The one two, as far as you're playing more challenging teams.
I think Brayley went over it earlier in the show.
I mean, Michigan's got Western Michigan, Boston College or Michigan State.
I'm sorry, has Western Michigan, Boston College, Youngstown State, at
USC At Nebraska, u C, l A, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
Penn State, Iowa, Maryland.
Speaker 7 (01:59:31):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (01:59:31):
Just because they're bigger conferences doesn't mean it's better competition.
Speaker 5 (01:59:35):
From Michigan State. Shoo, That's that's the schedule they need.
Speaker 4 (01:59:39):
I don't disagree with you. I think it's perfect for that.
Speaker 7 (01:59:42):
There's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (01:59:43):
Hey, tomorrow, we're really excited. Bredy Queen's going to join us.
Speaker 7 (01:59:46):
Good friend of.
Speaker 9 (01:59:49):
Though, there's just one more four nine nine super chat.
It's from Michigan at Michigan's what I can see here.
He says, what are Shep's.
Speaker 10 (01:59:56):
Thoughts on MLB Playoff pitcher.
Speaker 4 (02:00:00):
That might be something that you bring up.
Speaker 7 (02:00:01):
Maybe bring tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (02:00:02):
They'll play picture on the ps C t u U.
Speaker 4 (02:00:06):
Pager like the MLB picture. Yeah, we kind of went
over it. I think there's a couple of teams right
now better than Detroit in the American League, and I
think there's at least four teams in the National League. Okay, Okay,
so we can dive into that a little bit further.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
If you will, that's fantastic. You'll get eighteen in as
long as the weather holes.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
There's a concert to night too.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Man.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Look, I'm just I'm trying to get the summer.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
And you're busy.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Well, August is the end, as you know, when you
get to August you start counting tickets. Usually when we
were younger, this is the time where I got two
weeks until I got to get back to school. You know,
for us, just about three weeks before that football season
gets ready to rock and roll up there in ann
Arbor or east Lands and whatever you're chairing for so
you gotta get the trips, you gotta get the concerts,
you gotta get all out the way.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Now, that's kind of a fine line for me because
I can't wait for football season to begin, you guys,
and I think everybody would agree with that. But on
the other hand, like Braylyn, just summers over. Yeah, then
it's the indication that summer is over. I love the fall, sure,
you guys.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Do to Michigan.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
My favorite season realistic.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
And ill because you're a football.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
No, no, you know what it is. I like because
I'm born and raised Michigan, Michigan, Michigani. How you say,
I like Gander. I love watching the season change, and
I love fashion. Yes, hard sweatsh sweater, Mayland. I'm saying,
the plaid comes out, the flannel comes out, Jeans, come on,
I'm not really short guy. I like wearing pants, as
you can tell because it's eighty five ninety three with
(02:52):
the heat in decks and I got on long pants,
so I don't like them.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
Who crew necks sweaters?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Man? What I would?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Would you say? You dress up more in the fall
than you do in the summer.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
One.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
Yeah, and I get to wear Timberland and I'm six
two one summertime.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
It's easy, like I'm wearing all golf stuff, like it's
usually every day I'm wearing golf when I'm wearing some
type of Liland short and T shirt. That's it. That's
the forecast from middle of May to September.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Okay, So you would rather dress up. You'd rather look stylish, yes,
than casual.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I'd rather look like I looked at my claws and
did this today as opposed to.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
Yeah, and you get the casual jackets too, nice little
jacket or something you.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Can find bombers if you know it's onto something.
Speaker 9 (03:46):
Fall is that season where you walk out feeling like something, man,
And that wardrobe has a lot to do with it.
Speaker 10 (03:51):
Man, that that's the part of the that's a part
of it. Walking off feeling good. Got me a nice
little coast sweater or something like that.
Speaker 9 (03:59):
You know, you can wear the polos with a little
jacket on it, man, and you can feel pretty fair.
You can wear the full game of the shoes and
not look you know, stupid.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
You can put on the bros.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
You can put on the boots.
Speaker 10 (04:10):
The fall, man, it's where it's at.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I would say, I know Braylan pulls this. So if
feels really good in turtlenecks, you guys, turtleneck guys, I
am not. I don't think I own one. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Turtleneck and mock neck two different things. Like turtlenecks. I'm
still scarring from my childhood, Like my mom forced me
to turtlenecks and school pictures and Thanksgiving I got the
corduroys on. Corduroys and turtlenecks remind me and my mom
saying you have to wear this to go to your grandma.
So I pass on that. But a good mock neck
a little thicker my destinition. I think turtlenecks are flimsy.
(04:46):
I don't like the flimsy look, but the mock neck
a little thicker, a little more stage right there. Yeah,
I don't like when turtnick started rolling down, Like you
know what I'm saying, somebody in cuffy pants the right way,
right right.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Right now, a turtle neck with a blazer.
Speaker 8 (04:57):
I can't just do a turtleneck and it's the same thing,
just like I don't do corduroy plants. I'll do a
corduroy jacket, but the same thing you were forced those
are like, I don't know what it was about moms
making you wear those two things.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I was dressed up with the knick knacks, But are
you conscious of that with your kids? To make sure? Okay,
my kids are not gonna wear that. I am not
putting them through that. Now.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
I got my daughter is a FASTI Nissa Sauce. She
wants to wear dresses and heels every day.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
So yeah, yeah, said.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Look also fat, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (05:26):
No, I was gonna say as a kid, no, I
didn't want to wear it.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Man. My dad was put me in suits and.
Speaker 9 (05:30):
Everything, put me in a little fashion shows down in
all the little Detroit churches and everything like that.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
What the hell?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah? Now I see them kids, and I'm doing the
same stuff.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
But now I see through their lens. You know, I'm
forty two. You know what I'm saying. You look through
a little differently. Okay, this is fashion, but okay, this
kind of looks right with this, Okay, I can see it.
How about I put my son in this because I
see what they may have seen years ago. But I
wasn't trying to hear that at twelve, right, they trying
to hear that I want to start jackets. You know
what I'm saying me and you know what I'm saying.
(06:05):
I got a fun I got a fun concept for it.
Not today. We'll tease today, but I think we'll do
tomorrow another day. You're talking about the music and the rap,
certain things you don't know, and you know comic books.
What if we had a segment where we did ten
questions with schep. Now we pick a random winner. We
picked a random winner. First person get something right in
(06:26):
the chat. At the end of the show, you have
to answer ten questions and for every answer you get right,
that person gets five dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So there's a.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
So it would be it would be on you to
get someone paid very that's a hot ruddy. So it
can be if I showed you a picture of I'm
telling you, I'll show you a picture of a rapper.
You gotta tell me who the rapper is, a Marvel
character or something like that.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
You get ten questions, get killed.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I want but see, I want you to get killed.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
One point. Maybe be a sports question. One would be
a sports question.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Yeah, I'm mixing some some not layups. So I'm mixing
some dunks. I'm mixing some dunk good.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Okay, So there's certain levels perhaps, Yeah, so if you
get it, change like an old timer like okay, who's
a picture of Jack Ham? And I can name Jack
Camp for example.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Man, maybe starts at one. Maybe it starts at one
dollar the first question, and each question gets progressed, like
you said a millionaire style, then you got a millionaire style.
So it was it fifty bucks one to ten? Is
fifty something?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Man?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Just a question in the back of the room. Go ahead, bueler,
where's the fifty dollars coming from?
Speaker 11 (07:37):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
That's coming from just coming from the show? Title's come
from show time.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Ricky was pretty quick to answer his idea, let's come
from Braylan. Is that come from me?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I know right, he didn't jump in on that, but
it was his idea.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
We didn't talk about this before.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
So here's an idea.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah, man, here's an idea.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Man, why not why not do it once a week?
We each you know, every one of us, Noah in
the the intern. We could we could get everybody involved, okay,
and we'll we'll spin it in different ways. I like,
he's not a bad idea. I like shirt.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
This is a new show, new ideas.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
We've got the name of the show coming up with
all these ideas. He's a producer, director and the talent
that tells.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
You know what I'm saying. All right, I'm shot man
about town.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
We gotta shout out his shirt. You gotta sew his
shirt stand up.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Real quick.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
You gotta show this. That's fire. I like that he
came in with that.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I like that Eddie Murphy right there is That's one
of the first things. No, you should have known as
soon as you can.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
He shout a phony.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Move over a little bit so everybody can see it.
That shout out to.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
A k Adie Murphy.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Debate. I gotta fall for the banana and the tail pipe.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I love Dave Chappelle. I'm going ahead see Dave japel Man.
Third in the third Slad never put anybody in front
of Eddie.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Yeah, Eddie was pretty funny.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
And that's where the two spots spot. When I was
a kid, it was richer than uh in Red Fox, Oh,
Red Red Fox appealed to me as a kid. I
like Ridney Dangerfield. It's a different type of human. George
Carlin is one of the greatest of all time.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
Bertie Bernie Bill Burt.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I think it's this generation of George Carl.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yes, I would agree with him that I saw Bill
Burt and I didn't stop laughing. I was I was believable.
Kevin James, I've seen in person. He was hilarious. I
saw Jerry Seinfeld a couple of years ago Burnie, and he.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Was Seinfeld stand up but not the show. Sorry, hot take.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
That's all right, dad, very fair.
Speaker 8 (09:49):
Standing up as hilarious the show. I didn't crack some
I'll watch multiple episodes.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Oh my god, I couldn't get enough. I probably with
my boys and I have literally a Seinfeld threat. I
can see something pops into our head, boom, We'll send
it out to him. So that's one of the old
time Like my daughter and my wife used to watch
Friends together, wrong answer, but the guys watched felt. I
(10:17):
grew up in different.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Martin Living Single, Martin Fresh, Living Color, Family Matters, New
York Undercover. If you're going we're going back to the
air of.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
New York Undercover.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Certain certain certain households watch certain things, like I didn't
tap into Seinfield until I got to college, and by
then I wasn't tapping in like all the time. It
was you know episode once there. Yeah, a great show,
but just I didn't grow up. How about Cheers?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Did you?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I grew up on Cheers?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
My dad loved loved Cheers.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
That's part of that's part of the night lineup. Going
Sam alone. Yeah, isn't crazy looking back when you get older,
looking back at shows and realizing how old people were,
Like this some reason, I thought everybody on Cheers is
in their fifties.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
There was thirty two? Yeah, wait what.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Ted Dance was thirty four? He was thirty four? Whaty
Harrelson was like thirty one or thirty It's the same when.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
You watch teen movies. You look back like all these
people were in their twenties.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Like Norman was like thirty nine.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah yeah, like what looks happy?
Speaker 5 (11:23):
One hundred rest in peace?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, that's really good. But the other funny thing is
when you try to show some of your shows that
you liked as a kid, or maybe even if you
were in college to your kids out Like, I don't
get it. It's not funny at all.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
I was trying to show my sister Alf and my
sister now is thirty five. I told you that I
tried to show Alf was a kid. She was like, yeah,
I'm not buying saying I said, but you watched Barnie.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
I can't watch Barnie, not like Ouf.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
I tried to show my kids, Remember Doug. They used
to come on the.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Cologne first day about the nineteen ninety one we were
talking about quell Man. Turn up Bluffington High School and
take me back. Man. Patty Manner is cool, she goes
she wasn't that smart and either too like she was.
She was attainable, right, Yeah, if you go back and
(12:16):
watch Doug. One of the coolest things about Doug is
nobody is the same color. Yeah one person, No one
is the same girl. They're legitimately hodgepoes of purples and
blues and greens and oranges and even the whites. Like
it's not white. It's like it's like a tan. Yeah,
it's like a tan in Florida. It's great realistic.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon lineup was dope.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Nickeolodeon got it. The other the other company not so much.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
What was the other company?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
That's Disney.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Well, there's a lot of companies that are straight. I
mean MTV when I was a kid, played video They
got it now.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Man, everything, but.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I think it was like forty years old now. I
think the other day I think somebody I thought somebody
wrote or tweeted out that it's the fortieth anniversary of MTV,
thank you for fourteen years of really good music.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Right for real?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Because all they do is they play some show called
Ridiculous Ridiculousness. Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Right.
Speaker 8 (13:13):
They still have the Real World Row Rules Challenge for
some outer reason.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
I'm like, what CT is still getting money?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
The writing was on the wall and when they went
away from pop Up, when they went up from pop
Up Video, yeah they did it on that too though.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Well yeah CRL all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I wonder why that wouldn't make a comeback because it's
all on our phone, I know.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
But still nothing beat YouTube.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Man.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Sorry, it's no.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I don't disagree with that, but it doesn't mean I
mean at home. Are you on your phone a lot
at home?
Speaker 7 (13:43):
No? Not really.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
I think people don't say it, not really And this
is not riggedy line people always I think you and.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I am saying it's ricky. I think you're right. I
think you are on your phone quite a bit.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Nah, I'm not, I'm.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
Really, but I got a bunch of girls in my house,
so I'm always.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Don't blame it on them. I'm breaking.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
I have to.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
It's just convenient, Like you know, I know I'm not
the only one. Like, when's the last time you were
looking for somebody upstairs to give them something, to ask
for something, to see if they can bring something. When's
the last time you went upstairs to go tell them?
When's last time you talk about it? So I'm old school.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I try to put my phone away and then I
like to I like to talk. I like to interact
with people. That's I hate the whole text and and
and email all the time. I want to talk to somebody, Hey, man,
how you doing okay? Even if it's a short and
sweet I'm okay with that. I can't stand the text.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Yeah, that's a rarity now.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
And all the apps are on the TVs and tablets
and everything now, like YouTube's everywhere, Like it's beyond the phone.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
You go into a restaurant. I mean, think about this.
I went into a restaurant last night.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Oh there's no phones with restaurants.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
It's everywhere.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
My family.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
When you're good, but well, good for you, you're a
good death. You look at the look at the table.
How many people are on their phones, but we're the
host of the communication. How come you're not talking with one another?
Speaker 7 (15:03):
You don't hate it?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Well, every era is about what was that era about?
You know, I don't have to go way back to
you know, pre cell phone. I just started in the nineties.
The nineties. People are still talking, people still communicating. Cell
Phone is kind of new beepers, pages a whole nine are,
but it's still the form of communication. You're still probably
talking to people most of the time. And then a
couple of people have cell phones they're communicating. Insert the
(15:26):
two thousands, when you know phones come out. Now you
can start texting. I grew up in that era. Essentially,
I'm I'm in college or I'm going to high school.
I'm in high school when you can start texting. So
I'm a text era. Everything is texted me. I enjoyed texting.
This is what the era was. All phones, you get
the better T nine service in texting. Here comes the iPhone.
Now you can do all the things. Insert now my
(15:49):
brother's era and my sister's era, they're the FaceTime era.
They're the FaceTime I remember my brother used to come
in and he's on the phone with his boys from college.
I'm like, FaceTime is just to talk to girls. He's like,
we talked to everybody. Know they legitimately would be on
the phone like this talking. I'm like, why are you talking?
Your friends text them call it. That's the FaceTime here. Now,
(16:09):
this new error is trying to get back to it's
all the social. It went from FaceTime. The next era
is social. I got people that will not hit me
back on text, won't answer my call sometimes. But if
you text them on i G. If you text them
on snap instantly, they get right back to you instantaneously.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
That I only talk to on Instagram, Like we have
each other's numbers, but we're talking back to are you
kidding me?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
And it's and it's a sense of fake. It's a
sense of fake keeping up because you think, oh, we're boys.
You know I'm saying, we talk on social media. Hey,
you guys don't talk. You don't guys know what's going
on hotels fan. You don't know how I got feels
or how the girl feels.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
This here's there. Here's the problem with your your brother
and your sisters now is that they're used to FaceTime,
and what happens is because you're so used to it,
they'll go to them and they'll FaceTime people. I said
the Jimmy, they're the days ago, two days ago. This
person's working out and they're facetiming someone. And you know,
(17:10):
I'm I'm not afraid to say this. I'll go up
there and say, hey, man, I don't if I can
hear your conversation over my heavy metal, that's a problem
because I got heavy metal blaring in my ears, so
I need it. Is rude, it is I need you
up in the lobby area so you can talk because
I don't want to hear your conversation. I don't want
to know what you had for dinner last night or
what you're going to the grocery store for after the
(17:32):
workout right now. But in today's day and age, I'm
seen as the jackass, the person breaking Oh yeah really,
oh absolutely.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
People are a little more aware.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
I'm not defending everyone, but I do want to defend
some of these younger kids because they're more like they
set screen time and stuff like that. This next generation
of kids, they're getting more they're actually paying attention to
stuff like that, to where if they're on the phone,
they'll set their phone down.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
I've noticed that the hold real quick.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
They'll set their phone down on FaceTime doing like transaction
and then go back to it. Like I'm a person,
I'm Always'm usually on the phone with my like might
have my headphones on, but I'm real conscious of that.
I'm not talking around people stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
You're good about it. I'm telling you just two days ago,
it happened, and it happened. Happened this afternoon. I did
a work out before I came here. You get the
same thing, and it's like, oh my god, dude, come on,
I don't need to hear your.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Business man when I'm playing fitness man, when your fitness
is essentially I'm so live saying that. I don't even
paying attention. It's no judgment. So I'm not just you
listen to music while you work out? Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I know a lot of people who do not. Yeah, wow,
I'm crazy.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
The south of the gym is boring.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Yeah, I gotta be listening to DMX, Gezy, Little Wayne
or The Good Book.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I got to be listening to something, Okay. I gotta
do something to help me motivate and get through it,
especially as you get older. So it's kind of it's
kind of a situation. I hope more and more people
are are taking notice of it because you know, there's signs, Hey,
get off your phone, don't be on your phone, Please
be conscious of others.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
I know one thing, a younger culture, this era doesn't
do like our erarors and airs passed. There's much less
drinking with the new age, like the twenty it's even
that the liquor sales with gen Z versus the next
one above and millennials, it's like night and day the
numbers in terms of what's spent. But I tell you this,
(19:28):
they do all that infused stuff. You better slow down
on that. Yeah, like all that vaping and and helling
of the pipe down a little bit because those chemicals
in there seems cool now that certain general don't tell
you everything.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
I didn't know that about the drinking.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Yeah, no one.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
They don't used to go to Canada in nineteen that's
all that's done.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
They don't even go. They don't care.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Wow, there's a whole article. Yeah, listen, we used to go.
We go across the border all the time, just about
every single weekend. I mean people from out of town
with come in and say, wait a minute, we're going
to a different country, like, yeah, we're going to Canada.
There's your beer. Yeah, let's go. Yeah, we're going to
the beer store. That's where we went to the beer store.
We put cases of Canadian beer in our trunk. We
(20:13):
would go to a place. It depends on where, but
ours for us and it's it's out of you know,
out of action now. But we going to a place
called Mother's Pizza. Okay, and at least that's where we
said we were going. Smart So on the on the
way back in, where were you? We were at Mother's Pizza.
What times you get there? We got there around eight o'clock. Okay,
(20:33):
it got anything to you know, to declare nope, we're good. Okay,
come on through. And suddenly we've got a case of
Predor in our back seat and we're fired up.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
We's the party and once we's the party and Windsor
all the time, Club one twelve, the ice botty chairs.
It was cool. I didn't drink so I was twenty one.
So when we were going over to eighteen nineteen twenty,
like because you're going to get pulled over on the
way back for sure, just being four young black men
coming from when in the morning, you're getting pulled over.
(21:02):
Never there was a time that we did not get
pulled over. The good thing is I didn't drink, so
you can hit me with all the questions that you want.
So it was perfect. So a lot of guys go
to jail though they don't play it the border.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
No they don't. They do not around And you ever
been at the border where somebody was so a friend
of mine wants real smart ass, uh, and was they

Again, make sure you click shot and we bat speaking
of Carrie Carpenter he has homer it again, he had
a two he had a two run homer. So now
but two no, no, no, he had a two run homer.
He's homer again.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Is a day he is?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
So he is a homer today. Spencer Tokos has a
homer today. Zach McKinstry has a homer today. It's four
to four against the Twins. So kudos to Detroit's power,
which I think is vital for their success. Now. I
know people feel I know how they feel about bullpens,
(27:49):
especially swinging missing bullpens. I know how they feel about
starting pitching. I've been on record to say, you know,
there's I think a number of teams who have a
better starting pitching than Detroit as we get ready for
the playoffs. But I love the power. I mean, they're
eighth right now in home runs, there's seventh right now
in slug and that's going into today's game, so that
(28:09):
could change a little bit. So that's that's a great
sign for Detroit that the power, that's what was missing
during that that that's the period of time where they
struggled and everybody wanted to give up on him, and
there's really no reason to do that. It's it's silly
to do that, but there there is what was missing
was sure some bullpen problems, but the power was missing
(28:31):
as well.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
He said, he said the Twins out fours four four.
So what does that tell you about Jack Flaherny. That's
just a question because I know he's another one of
those angles where you know he's somebody that we were
monitoring his play. Four hits? Has he gotten pulled?
Speaker 7 (28:44):
He has not.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
He's given up six hits and four runs is what
he's given up one home run. So yeah, a guy,
a guy who has a four and a half e RA.
He does have three strikeouts. That's better than Chris Paddock
did last night.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
How much Pan Paddic versus how much is Jack claritys
a great point.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Yeah, Jack Flairy's making twenty five million dollars.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Okay, I need to step it up. And it's it's
no disrespect because he's definitely thrown the strikes. But every
time Zack Flerity comes up there, we know he's giving
up a bomb. That's that. That's been seventy five percent
a season.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
He's been pretty good as of late. That doesn't mean
my confidence is all the way back with him when
the when the playoffs begin, I think it's legitimate to
bring up the money. If we're gonna bring it up
with Howy or bias, you need to bring it up
with everybody.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
And you said that last week.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Yeah, so Jack Flaherty, I don't know if he would
be your two in a playoff series quite honestly, I mean,
I trust A. J. Hinchtt to get that. It's about
swings and misses. Though Chris Paddock got one swing and
miss last night one, Royce Lewis one swinging you that's
not gonna work. Rafail. Montero came in, gave up two runs.
He didn't look good. I mean those I don't want
(29:56):
to dwell on the negative. But but those are things
that I'm looking for.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Can't ask the question, and this question isn't it And
this isn't a I need everybody to panic. This doesn't
come because you don't panic. So it's not a panic questions.
It's a serious question. How many how many games do
the tires need to give back before there is cause
for concern? You know, you look at earlier in the week,
it was nine. You look at earlier in last week
(30:20):
it was twelve. You look at three weeks ago, it
was fifteen. They're down to seventh after last night's loss, Right,
what would the number be for you?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Where it's like, Eh, I think they are. I think
they are clearly the best team in the division. Okay,
I am not worried at all.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Well four and a half make you worry about is
this a divisional race?
Speaker 7 (30:40):
No?
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Okay, it would not for me. That's just me. I'm
not saying I'm right. I think they've got a uh a.
I was gonna say it's not an easy road. There
really are no easy roads. You got the Twins, you
got the Angels coming into town. Not a great team,
but White Sox stink, although they have as many wins
as the Yankees over the last month, so that shouldn't
(31:04):
be too much of an issue. Then you're with Minnesota again.
Then you're with Houston. That'll be interesting, don't I try
not to use certain series as litmus tests, yes, because
people there are some people saying, oh, we're going to
see what the Tigers are really made of against Philadelphia.
Oh okay, so you didn't learn anything about how good
they played against you know, all these other teams that
(31:25):
they've played. So I try to keep that under control
a little bit. My belief is, and I pray that
I'm wrong, I really do. I think Toronto's better than
they are. I think Seattle's better than they are. Houston,
we'll see, Boston is surging. And then I think there's
probably three to four National League teams that I would
(31:47):
think are in better position to compete for a World
Series title than the Tigers, specifically Dodgers, Podreys, Phillies. I
don't nobody gives a Brewers any credit. Nobody the other day,
Pat Murphy's their manager. I bet you you could find
a baseball fan right out here on Woodword, go up
(32:08):
to about ten of them in a row, who's the
manager of the Milwaukee Brewers. They have no idea who
Pat Murphy is.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
And that's okay, because you can probably go down to
Coo America and five hundred of them, right and.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Yeah, and then and Pat Murphy said this last night,
name five guys on our team. Somebody named five. I mean,
he's talking to the Milwaukee media, so the Milwaukee media
obviously knows it. But when you're talking about the Milwaukee Brewers,
and I wonder if the Tigers are too dissimilar than that,
Like outside of Detroit, if you go to a let's
(32:40):
just say you go to Boston. Yeah, all right, how
many Red Sox fans can name X amount of Tigers.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
I think the Tigers are. I would say at least five.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
You think so? Who would go five to three?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Who school Scoogle Bias, Labor Torres, one of Riley Green
as four?
Speaker 7 (33:06):
I hope so if they're a baseball.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Fan now, but they've been talking at no, Yeah, that's
that's the time All Star. Also, let's not forget what
the Tigers have been doing from this time last year.
Tigers made that hell of a run, started getting national
people start watching, and then they started playing more intention
once they got to the playoffs. Then they messed around
and won a playoff series, and then they started this
season with the same momentum and they even playing well.
(33:28):
All they've talked about is the Tigers and Hobby Bias.
They talked about Hobby Bias more than Aaron Judgement. So
I think about that. I'm over exaggerating, but not that much.
Last time I checked, Hobby Biaz was trying to get
out of Detroit and he started an All Star Game.
This year. People like stories, and I think the Tigers
for a large part of the season were the story.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Perhaps you're right because of the All Star nominations that
they had. I do think everybody This is not a
knock on Detroit fans or US. I think people get
lost in their own teams. Okay, So I think people
in Boston. And I use Boston as an example because
my wife is from Boston, so I hear from her
family all the time. How good are the Tigers? You
(34:09):
know our you know, our Red Sox are coming Our
Red Sox are coming up, y'all. So I gotta, you know,
calm them down a little bit. There's all of them.
They're like, so, who's this guy? They don't know who
the hell Matt Vieling is. Theyn't know who Zach McKinstry is.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
I bet they can name you ten Detroit Lions.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I bet every damn right.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
I bet every NFL fan basically name you ten and
Detroit Lions. And if they can include half the coaches
that and if they.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Can't, they're not football fans. This is true, right, I agree,
because they really are one of the best teams in
the National Football League. So Dan Campbell spoke today and
he was talking about there's so much made Braylan of
the coaches they've lost, and you did a really good
job with this. A couple of weeks ago, we were
talking about not just the coordinators. We're talking about some
(34:55):
of the other coaches, but what about the coaches who
are on this staff and making a difference. Kelvin Shepherd
is elevated to defensive coordinator and Sean Dion Hamilton is
now the linebackers coach. Here's Dan Campbell on his coaches,
his linebackers coaches and the guys who are getting work
(35:16):
done on a daily basis in Allen Park.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
Listen to this. That makes.
Speaker 11 (35:22):
Yeah, he's done an unbelievable job. I mean, one of
the reasons we got him into coach and asked him
to stay was he was such a smart player.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Man.
Speaker 11 (35:29):
He was such a headsy player. You know, he he
was a high level thinker as a player, so to
be able to you know, and look, he wasn't the
most gifted, and when you're not the most gifted, then
you're usually you have to do every little thing right.
You have to know every little detail, and you probably
know how to coach every little detail too. So, uh,
(35:50):
that was him and he is he's he's a stickler
for the details. He expects a lot out of those guys.
He wants him to play downhill and aggressive. Uh, he's
a hard and he's just he's grown a ton under
Shep in that room in ag So he's going to
do a great job for us.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
One more follow up on the offensive.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Kelvin Sheppard not not not the Shep. So I love
that answer, and I love I could be in the
minority here. I love the promotion from within. So the
linebacker's coach now, who is Sean Dion Hamilton was the
assistant linebackers coach. Oh yeah, you gotta love that for
Kelvin Sheppard. You gotta love it if it's earned. And
I think it's really important. And that's a that's a
(36:33):
big word, right. Players know this stuff. They know who's
who deserves it and who doesn't deserve it.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Yeah, I'm saying you know who deserves it. Shan Diane
Hamilton has been in that room and Kelvin Shepard in
the linebacker room. One of the good things. And we'll
get a chance to talk about Kevin Sheppard here in
a minute too, because I'm interested in what people have
to say about him, but it's attention to details. And
that's what you've seen in the last four years of
Kelvin Shepard and his linebackers, and then Shan Diana has
been in that room as well. Look at the growth
(37:00):
in the player development of Alexanderloni. I told you when
they first bought Azeloni in here, I didn't seen anything special.
I want them to get rid of him. At some point,
he's saying he was one of those players like he
can't go lateral, he can't cover anybody in space like
this guy is. He's basically costing you some plays and
some first downs. Malcolm Rodriguez talking about excuse me, getting
back to Angeloni. Look what happened in twenty two. Look
at the steps in twenty three. You're talking about a
(37:21):
guy that could have been a Pro Bowl talking about
a guy that wasn't alternate in the Pro Bowl. Talking
about a guy that's led a defense the past three years.
That's what he's done. Kelvin Sheppard help him get there.
Look at Jack Campbell, look at the steps that he
took last year when Azeloni went down. Who was ready,
who was ready to put that doubt on this helmet.
There's no coincidence that a former linebacker in Kelvin Shepard,
that played eight years in the league, that played under
someone great defensive coordinators, great defensive minds, is now helping
(37:44):
these guys advance. And I think that's what Sean Dion
has been a part of, just being in that room
and watching that the last four years. That growth.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Yeah, I would remind people too. In twenty twenty one,
Kelvin Sheppard's responsibility on the staff was to handle the
outside linebackers and the rush and the Russians and Charles
Harris at seven and a half sacks, you bring up
Anzeloni those years you just brought up. Those are back
to back career years for him. Don't tell me the
coaching didn't have anything to do with it. What Jack
(38:13):
Campbell the progress he made last year, He's been five big,
one of five linebackers in the National Football League to
have at least one hundred and twenty five tackles, at
least five tackles for loss, at least five past breakups,
and at least one thumb hull cover eight straight years
or eight straight weeks he had seven tackles or more.
(38:34):
That's most by a Lion linebacker since Steven Boyd had
thirteen straight weeks of seven tackles or more in two thousand.
That's a long ass time.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
That ship's guy. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely correct about that.
You guys asked me all the time the difference in
the game, What is the game? How did you get
better in this game? Why is it so fast? Why
people so slow? It's that attention to detail. I talk
about it all the time, film film, film, It's how
you coach as well. It's put players in good positions
to have success, and it's what it seems like they've
done in that player development. Like Zach Thomas. I always
(39:06):
go back to Zach Thomas. You look at Zach Thomas.
Nothing special about Zach Thomas. In fact, you're oning, how
the hell is he a linebacker in the NFL of
the Hall of Fame category attension of detail. He knew
where everybody was, he knew where he was supposed to be.
He can tell guys where they are supposed to go.
Malcolm Rodriguez. I'm not saying he's Zach Thomas, but when
you have attention to detail, like Sean Diana is going
to with him, you put him in good spots. You
(39:28):
got Jack on one side, you got Alex anzelon the
other side, and you put Malcolm Rodriguez in good spots
and the attention to detail, he can be where he's
supposed to be.
Speaker 9 (39:36):
And I just wanted to say about that man with
these assistant coaches. You know, Calvin Sheppard had the same
thing said about him by a pretty good coach in
Steve Specknolo, and he talked about the tension to detail
and his ability to coach you know, everybody's position, including
on the offense, even though he was a linebacker on
the defensive side. And so now you look at his
assistant linebacker who's now elevating the same stuff is being
(39:58):
said by him and Bray just you've been.
Speaker 10 (40:00):
A player in those rooms, you know when coaches are.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Probably just giving you the speak.
Speaker 9 (40:04):
But when I look at Dan Campbell as a fan,
it makes me that much more comfortable to hear him
talk about how even his weaknesses they identified made him better.
And I didn't I personally didn't get the sense that
Dan Campbell was just talking to.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Just talk up his guy.
Speaker 9 (40:18):
I saw him be very very confident, very very comfortable
and talking about Sean Dian Hamilton because there's a lot
of noise right now, but what this team can't be
because they're promoting from.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
What Yeah, that's that's what's dry. And that's the reason
we wanted to bring this topic up because I think
what people wanted when they lost offensive coordinator Ben Johnson
and lost Aaron Glenn is like, Okay, let's go out
and get someone similar to Sta Spagnola, who won who's
won three rings? Right, Let's go get a guy like
(40:49):
Vic Fangio like Philadelphia did, or you know, Jim Schwartz
is considered a really good defense.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
He knows.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
He does now, Brian Flores really good defense?
Speaker 7 (41:00):
Of course?
Speaker 4 (41:01):
Great. They wanted those names, right, and and really, what
I've said is at some point those guys became bigger
names because of their ability. I covered when Jim Caldwell
was here, I covered him and Tara lost him. Was
his defensive coordinator. And what a great dude, right he's
in Pittsburgh. Okay, I think I thought he was a
(41:23):
really good ude, at least at least to me he was. Anyway,
how you treat me? I love Braylan's eyes when when
he talks about something. It's just like he's looking off
on the distance.
Speaker 7 (41:36):
He's trying to pass it off.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
He's kind of looking off on the distance, you know,
like your puppy is watching you eat. At one point
he had a really good defense and then it fell
down a little bit. Jim Caldwell unfairly got fired. Tara
Loston left as well. But the point is those guys
get elevated to spots from within because they have a
(42:03):
plan and they have a really good idea of their personnel.
I love the fact that he's promoting from with that.
Speaker 5 (42:09):
Yeah, people gotta just stop getting so hung up on,
you know, wanting to go out and poach the guy who,
like you said, big fans. Oh it's got three super
Bowl rings. Oh you see what this guy did. Oh
let's get somebody that falls off to Sean McVay tree.
Why can't we get somebody like Kevinc Conna Pumpy breaks,
pumpy breaks and relaxed year. You gotta watch how this
thing is built out, Like when I look at Kelvin
Shepherd promoting from within. People forget about the chemistry side
(42:31):
of things. People forget about the familiar, aready side of things.
And when you have familiarity in chemistry, which is what
this defense has under Kelvin Shepherd, because he was on
the linebacker, because he also coached somebody outside linebackers, because
he's been here, he is legitally embodied in Aaron Glenn's image.
You don't want to bring in somebody that, Yeah, he
may be a great defensive coordinator, He's not a great
(42:53):
defensive coordinator for this group of guys. He's not a
great defensive coordinator for this city. He's not meant to
come in in this time where this is a pivotal
moment for the Detroit Lions fan. I mean, excuse me,
for the Detroit Lion franchise. You don't want to deal
in windows, Fine, we won't deal in windows, but this
is a pivotal time. You have the best players and
staffing that you probably have ever had, You have the
(43:14):
coach that you've never had. You have everything right, So
why mess with Why take the chance to bring in
the guy because of his accolades, because of this, that
and the third bringing the guy that knows what he's doing,
that can do these guys, and that's Kelvin Sheppard. I
appreciate everything about Kelvin Shepard. He was on the team
with Miami Dolphins when Dan Campbell was there. You're not
(43:35):
long talk about it, y'all long. Kelvin Shepherd's knowing Dan Campbell.
If he wasn't the guy, Dan Campbell wouldn't go in
this direction. I love everything about what they're building here.
You take Aaron Glenn's a former player, Kelvin Shepherd, former player,
Dan a former player. They got a plan for this
thing and how they wanted to go. You don't think
the defensive players had a saying that, Hey Fellas, Hey,
hey Heyden, what would you think if we promoted Kelvin Shepard.
(43:59):
F yeah, you f and right out want Kelvin Shepard.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
Hey, they were siing his praises last year.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
Jack, you know what, don't even ask me. He's my guy. Yes,
this is what you hear. So now you have these conversations,
and then to go away from that and bring in
a stranger. Now you got to deal with the first
half of the season. Somebody like the back and forth
and fighting what we're gonna do it this way? What's
my way? So I like that. And also he has
the resume. You just didn't pay attention because of what
(44:25):
you want.
Speaker 7 (44:26):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (44:26):
He's got a resume. Four years with this franchise, four
years with these players, four years with this team, not
to mention what he did as a player and what
he did as an assistant when he was coming up
the rings. So I love what he's going to bring.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
Yeah, he's a big He's a big reason why this
team was you know, first and third down efficiency again,
talk about it. They were third, make it second and
fourth down efficiency against. They were seventh in points per
game against. And let's not get confused here. Just because
they may have played together or been on the Miami
staff and known one another for a long time doesn't
(45:00):
mean that Dan Campbell that's the reason he takes him.
He was good friends with Anthony Lynn, very true, and
Anthony Lynn was his first o C when he got
here and he recognized it wasn't going to work out.
He took a lot of heat for that because everybody thought, oh,
you just want to be the play caller. You want
to be the head coach and the guy who gets
the glory in every case, not knowing who he was.
Speaker 5 (45:20):
The situation with Anthony Lynn, we had him on the
show back then. I was actually on two different teams
with coach Lynn for the Cleveland Browns as well as
the Jets. So love a Lynn. It didn't work out.
He didn't know the pulse of this team. He didn't
know how to be an offensive coach to what we
had in the store. Dan Campbell made a decision. He
got rid of him, you know, and by the way
he promoted from within on you how hard that move was.
(45:41):
Because he bought Anthony Lynn out of retirement. He since
he bought him out of retirement and then fired him,
that's a tough move. So Dan camb was all about
putting the right people in place. Getting back to Shep
just for another second. He's also not Aaron Glynn. He's
also not trying to be Dan Campbell. He is his own.
Much like Dan Campbell tells you on Hard Knock, I
(46:02):
want you to wear those dreads because it is who
you are. He's going to be itself. His nasty, tenacious,
relentless effort. These are the three things and the three
pillars that he lives by. This is how he coaches
his linebackers. Nasty, tenacious, and relentless. That sounds like something
that I want to be a part of.
Speaker 4 (46:20):
I also love the fact, like you brought up the dreads,
We've talked about that before, but the fact that he
wants his guys to be real. Yeah, okay, you are coaches.
Bruce greg Kowski is an offensive assistant.
Speaker 5 (46:31):
He played with him Inland, so there you go.
Speaker 4 (46:34):
He played in Cleveland, played in this whole staff. He
was he was in Toledo. They they kept and they routine.
Hank Frayley really important place limb right absolutely to Shard Choice.
They bring him in as a running backs coach. They've
got guys who if you're a player and you recognize
some of the you know, the history of the game.
(46:55):
I'm not saying that you had to have played to
you know, to be impactful, but it does help.
Speaker 5 (47:00):
I would guess that definitely does. You look at Hank Frailey.
Hank Freley played, you know, two spots down from Joe
Thomas for five years, six years. Joe Thomas one of
the best left tackles ever, especially in the last twenty
five years. He also was on the same staff with
Eagles when they had Runyon and those guys, and he
was blocking for McNabb. He's been doing at a high
level for a very long time, and when I was
with the Browns, he was one of the guys that
(47:20):
was helping coach Jeff Davison input run blocking techniques, putting
in install for the offensive lineman. So he's been tapped
in for a while and he's been coaching Panay, he's
been coaching these guys, he's been working with Frank, he's
been working with Taylor Decker.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Like.
Speaker 5 (47:36):
That's why I think you'll see a lot out of
Tate rallies this year. I know I went off on
a tangent about something else, but I'm excited to see
what ty rallies could become. Because Hank Frayley played that spot.
Hank Freley knows that spot, he knows that game.
Speaker 4 (47:50):
I hope he is that influence. It's always one of
the things I've wondered about in sports. You know, how much,
for example, you bring your Frank right now? How much
is Frank Ragnow. How much was it Kevin Zeitler, how
much it was a Graham Glasgow, how much was it
Frank Hank Freeley. I don't know the answer study of that, okay,
but all of them working together made Frank Ragnow one
(48:12):
of the best centers, if not the best center in football.
Can he have that type of impact on a young
guy like Tate Ratledge knowing that he's going to go
through some ups and downs? Everybody does, right, and you did,
I'm sure your rookie year and and me what about
and what about Christian? Is he gonna be able to
do that with Christian?
Speaker 3 (48:31):
You know what?
Speaker 9 (48:31):
I got some audio from Dan Campbell talking about the
standard of the offensive line.
Speaker 4 (48:35):
Okay, let's let's get to that stuff after we get
after we get a thought from Jack's card Wash and
doctor Pierce. I don't know about you, but every time
I get my car washed, it seems like it starts
to rain. The beauty with Jack's car Wash. Is they
have these plans where it doesn't matter if it rains
or if it's sunny for.
Speaker 5 (48:54):
You, Well, you and I are in the same boat
because every time I get my car wash, as you know,
it tends to have kind of cloud. I was looking
like that, and it does rain. But when you get
the unlimited package, man, and that unlimited package is only
forty nine dollars, is it twenty nine dollars a month?
If a twenty nine to ninety nine per month unlimited
if it rains, guess what we'll see you tomorrow. If
it rains that day, we'll see the day after that.
And that car wash will be free because you've already

Speaker 7 (53:41):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (53:43):
I feel uncomfortable knowing or you know, tracking my kids
and they're not even kids anymore. I mean they're young adults. Yeah,
I feel there's an invasion on my part.
Speaker 7 (53:53):
Now.
Speaker 4 (53:53):
If I'm worried, I'm glad we haven't yeah, right, saying
it's not good.
Speaker 7 (53:56):
I'm saying I.
Speaker 4 (53:58):
Don't like you know, where is he? That's that's his
business man.
Speaker 7 (54:02):
You better than me, bro.
Speaker 4 (54:04):
If I'm worried about my daughter, yes, on a Friday
or Saturday night in Heast Lansing, sure, I would probably
check it every once in a while. I try to
give him as much, you know, leeway and freedom as possible.
It's eight four Minnesota. Now, Okay, wait what I did
just say? Six four? They just hit two home runs?
Speaker 7 (54:23):
Cool?
Speaker 4 (54:24):
Oh my god? You know we had a commercial break
It doesn't take long for you to put up runs
at a ballpark. Tyler Holton, who has been rock Steady,
not Black rock Steady, but rock Steady has given up,
has given up two home runs. Okay, Austin Martin was
a pinch hit homer and people are like, who the
(54:47):
hell is Austin Martin. He's the other guy that when
Spencer Tarkon was taken first, the people debated on whether
or not he who led Vanderbilt to a World Series
over Michigan. I'm sorry, it was the three game set.
It was a really good series. I watched it. I
enjoyed it. But Austin Martin was Vanderbilt's best player and
(55:07):
he had I think it went fifth overall. I believe
it was fifth overall. But that was the debate. Is
it Austin Martin or Spencer Turkles And both of them
have homest That.
Speaker 5 (55:13):
Game was just another classic reminder that up until twenty
twenty three, the national championship run astric or not, whatever
you want to call it. Michigan's always in a national
championship in a different sport. They could just never close
the freaking deal. Baseball we lost that year. We were
in hockey that year too. We were in hockey. A
bunch of years we did in the final four Bass.
Speaker 4 (55:31):
We do have nine championships in hockey.
Speaker 5 (55:34):
Yeah, but when's the last one? That's what I'm talking
I'm talking about closing the gate in the last twenty
five years. I'm not talking about when Red Bearnson, when
his heyday.
Speaker 4 (55:41):
Marty Turko I think was in that last time that
excuse me. So that's but I think, I think and
that's a long time ago. To your point, I'm supporting
you on.
Speaker 5 (55:49):
That close the deal softball team was in the World
Cities run a lot of runner ups.
Speaker 4 (55:55):
Yeah, teams from the Midwest don't find their way to Omaha.
All very often true for college baseball because the advantage
is so steep in the South, over the South and
out west.
Speaker 8 (56:08):
Yeah, so the track it is the same for golf,
it's it's golf the same way. I don't follow it,
but I feel like it'd be the same.
Speaker 5 (56:14):
Yeah, because Alabama, Alabama's not one golf team like yeah, currently.
Speaker 10 (56:19):
They are sec Hey shout out to jail.
Speaker 5 (56:21):
For all the money is as well, like the not
all the money, A lot of the money as it
relates to giving it to sports programs, and then the
constant to be able to practice outside.
Speaker 7 (56:30):
Yeah, you're not gonna.
Speaker 5 (56:31):
Have many sprinters coming from up north beating anybody from Texas. Right,
It's just is what it is baseball. You get a
chance to be outside practicing elements. This is what it is.
Get outside fast and up here. Here's a lot of
hitting in cages in January, in February and March. Right,
they're in full groove by the time you get to
into of April.
Speaker 7 (56:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (56:51):
No, it's a great point. I've always felt about it.
You know, if I wanted to spend Braylan's money, you
could get you can get an indoor facility for kids
to play indoor baseball.
Speaker 7 (57:02):
Okay, you could.
Speaker 4 (57:02):
Use it for other things. You can use it for football,
you could use it for lacrosse, you could use it
for soccer. There's no doubt about it. But if you
really wanted to make some money, put in an indoor
facility and have you know, they have a fall league.
There's a fall baseball league. You wouldn't bat league. One
of my oldest son used to play travel ball in
the fall and he would have it in Wooden bat League.
It was cold as all get out right in the fall.
(57:25):
As you're trying to balance football and baseball, you go
indoors and use the wooden bat because the ball doesn't
travel quite as far. Okay, you you go indoors, and
I think you can make some money doing that.
Speaker 7 (57:40):
They have indoor softball leagues.
Speaker 4 (57:42):
Yeah, because they don't hit it quite as Farah, it
makes a lot of sense, I think. I don't think
there's many facilities that can.
Speaker 7 (57:48):
Control the elements you can turn to heat up.
Speaker 4 (57:50):
Yeah, rain, Hey, bring some marines, which you said make Yeah,
they got the.
Speaker 5 (57:55):
Weather machines in the weather machines are really thing. Hey.
Speaker 4 (57:58):
Speaking of that, though, we'll get back to Lion's here
in a moment. I was thinking about this with the
you brought up college. When you look around college athletics
and you see that the ACC has seventeen teams now,
and the Big twelve has sixteen, and the Big ten
has eighteen, which is ridiculous, Yeah, and the SEC has sixteen.
(58:23):
Do you like the big conferences?
Speaker 1 (58:26):
Do we like?
Speaker 4 (58:27):
Do we embrace this? I know there's nothing we can
do about it. I'm just wonder how you guys feel.
Speaker 5 (58:31):
About it realistically, Like is relative man, I think things evolve,
you know what I'm saying, and being a part of
this kind of institution and watching it go from you know,
one game in ninety seven when Michigan won the National
Championship to you know BCS when I was there, no
BCS first, then four teams then right, So it just
(58:56):
is what it is, like. I don't make bones about
Oh my god, I can't believe that, Yo, Michigan's not
gonna The rivalry stuff is dead. It is what it is.
It sucks, but I got over it. I have now
tried to find that have full space. I think you'll
get matchups on a regular day basis that are great
for the sport. Last year was the most a lot
of people were engaged in college football in a very
(59:17):
long time. It's because of the matchups. You know, I
know that Penn State's not playing Michigan this year. I
know Michigan's not playing Notre Dame. I know Michigan's not
playing Iowa this year. But you know who Michigan is playing.
Michigan's playing Nebraska, Michigan's playing Oklahoma, Michigan's still playing Ohio State,
Michigan's playing USC Michigan's playing They're playing Michigan State, they're
(59:38):
playing for due, they're playing University of Washington. There's still
a lot of good games in this new space, and
I think you're seeing it just listening in Week one Texas,
Ohio State, Bama, Florida State, LSU, Clemson, Nebraska where it
was at a Notre Dame in Miami, TCU, North Carolina.
That used to just be kind of like opening week open.
(01:00:00):
Here's some great games, this is your slate, and then
you get a lot of weeks where it's nothing. Well
fast forward. There are six matchups like that each week
in college football, so half full. I appreciate the matchups,
you know. I know it's only two conferences. It's the
big tennis as you see.
Speaker 4 (01:00:16):
I think you could get those matchups even if you
didn't have the massive conferences.
Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Is my point.
Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
Michigan State should be playing Ohio State.
Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
I think outside of you, who cares about that though?
Because we're Michigan. It's a Michigan themeed state. Like if
you were in oh if you were in a different state,
would you care about Michigan State and Ohio State?
Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
No, But if you're in a different state, you care
that Michigan plays Oklahoma.
Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
Yes, why because there are two great programs, But there
are two big programs. Even if you don't like the program,
it's still something to turn on the game, like, oh, shoot, Oklahoma,
I mean Michigan's at Oklahoma to night.
Speaker 7 (01:00:51):
Yeah, yeah, that sounds wild.
Speaker 5 (01:00:53):
Yeah it does even exactly like I'm going to that game.
Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
Oklahoma's not even top twenty five, but yeah, it's based
on their reputation. It's based on you know, what they've
done in the past. And I think personally, we and
you're right, I think we've gotten away from it. I
think that's a sad part of sports. I agree, we
all know why. It's because of money. I'm not saying
that it shouldn't be. I just I long for the
(01:01:19):
days where rivalries and conference games truly matter. Okay, when
it was special when Michigan played USC out West, and
no longer is that the case. Now it's okay, it's
just another conference game. And I think we've lost that
and it's sad. I mean, we, you and I have
talked about rivalries all the time in sports. How many
(01:01:43):
are there in the National Football League, how many are
there in Major League Baseball? How many there are they
in the NHL, how many are there in the NBA.
You don't find them. You know why we've become numb
to it, And it's it happens in college now. We've
become numb to it because we just want what we
think is going to be the biggest game instead of
what could be the most important game.
Speaker 5 (01:02:05):
It's true, I don't disagree with what you're saying. If
I could have it my way, it would have gone
back to the BCS. You know, I didn't need the
four And then you try to convince me before I
told you it's only going to open the door. Well,
here we are. We got the FOURD and open door
to twelve. But once again, I'm just trying to find
my way in your good landscape. And I think the
(01:02:25):
excitement side of it, like there's there's a lot. This
is a mini NFL. You know, it may be horrible
for what we're used to. You know, what was fun
and what was stored in the rivalry getting to the
last you know, getting into November, the last week in November.
Now you got all the marbles on the floor for
Ohio State Michigan. Well, but it's not then and maybe
it's the iron Ball, Maybe it's Auburn and Alabama that
come down to the wire, LSU and Alabama, and maybe
(01:02:47):
there's something out west. Not likely, but but it's it's
fun to watch you have.
Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
You have the right attitude. I need to adopt your attitude.
I'm freely admitting that. All I'm saying is last year,
this is when I really started to feel it. Michigan
goes to Ohio State and wins. Stunts everybody in college
football world. Okay, it really is one of the bigger
upsets the rivalries ever had, or that we've seen in
college football a long time. Sir, that's supposed to matter.
Speaker 7 (01:03:17):
It didn't.
Speaker 4 (01:03:19):
And the reason it didn't is because Ohio State went
on to win the national championship. I'm not saying they're
not deserving. I'm just telling you that was supposed to matter.
Those things are supposed to be, Like, holy crap, look
at not only did we beat our rival, we knocked
their ass out of what they wanted to accomplish.
Speaker 10 (01:03:37):
We knew that that was the value placed on it.
Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
Like from the fan perspective.
Speaker 10 (01:03:41):
We knew every year that game was going to decide something.
Speaker 4 (01:03:45):
And what did it decide.
Speaker 5 (01:03:47):
I would say that part sucks as a former player,
that part sucks like when Ohio State went on the
run that they had from two thousand and four to
twenty and thirteen and in two thousand and fourteen to
two thousand and that just sounds don't worry. We cooked
them in the nineties eight and we're cooking it as quickly.
Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
He got defensive.
Speaker 5 (01:04:12):
Yeah, because they forgot about the nineties the eighties, and
they're forgetting about now. But to your point, yes, it
does piss me off because when they were whooping our
butts like it was at the end of every year,
that was it. You felt the pains and how hi,
we beat you guys again, and the whole nation said
the same thing. And you're catching from something now that
(01:04:32):
we're foreigner row. Yeah, foreigner row beat them last year
means nothing. They win the national Championship and they don't
even care they lost the missions. That's never been Ohio State.
Ohio State only cared about one thing that was Michigan, like,
we don't we look we lose Ohigo State is what
it is. We'll still have a good year. I still
be able to do things that I want to do.
In life, Live my life. You lose to a high
(01:04:54):
and losing Michigan, Ohio, the year is over. That's no longer.
That is no longer there. I keep running in the
fans since they won. I'm like, but you know you
lost the Michigan Like, so we want to national chapter. Yeah,
that part of arrivaly is no longer fun.
Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
Yeah, that it used to be. It literally used to
be a Judas Priest song. Some heads are gonna roll
if you lose to Michigan. That is not.
Speaker 5 (01:05:17):
How many how many coloches have gotten fired because they
couldn't be misiging A couple of them?
Speaker 4 (01:05:21):
A couple of them.
Speaker 5 (01:05:21):
Now Ryan is still very much employed.
Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
Oh yeah, I mean he's celebrated universally.
Speaker 9 (01:05:27):
I feel like he would be gone if this was
the olden days, just maybe a decade and a half ago.
Speaker 5 (01:05:32):
Maybe I don't care what, illegally or anything. Just don't
lose Michigan. I don't care what you do. Hey, look,
you can do, You can be whoever you want to be.
You better be that team up north when in the
November comes around.
Speaker 4 (01:05:44):
At some point I will get shouted down from that philosophy,
that idea, that that belief and that desire. I get it, okay,
because at some point it's gonna be like, all right,
it's been long enough, now turn the damn page. But
while it's still fresh, this is That's how I feel,
and I think when I talk to a lot of
friends of mine who used to be that's the key phrase,
(01:06:06):
used to be big sports fans. They said the college
game turns them off more than the professional game. And
it never used to be that way. They were always
college sports first, pro second, because pro they viewed as
a business. Now they view college sports as a business,
and they recognize, especially college football, it just doesn't seem
(01:06:31):
to matter as much as it used to. It was
a prideful thing for you and your guys to go
out there and win in Columbus or beat the Buckeyes
at home. Whatever. It doesn't feel like that anymore. I
know it is, but I'm just saying it doesn't feel
like it.
Speaker 5 (01:06:42):
Also as bad football, Hey, college football has bad football.
You got a bunch of quarterbacks. I think they can
drop back and be Patrick Mahomes because you got a
bunch of these sorry ass coaches, quarterback skill coaches telling
these players, yeah, if you drop back, like this, and
do this, and go around and colling this way. Do
all the jewels you see on YouTube of in Instagram.
You're gonna be the ness. Patrick Mahme. So, you got
(01:07:03):
a bunch of overpaid high school kids coming into these
institutions trying to be quarterbacks and they're not good. They're
trying to build offenses around. You got wide receivers in
the whole nine yards. Look at the Big Ten? How
many good teams are even in the Big Ten. You're
talking about a power conference. There's Michigan, there's Ohio State,
there's Penn State, there's Oregon and who else.
Speaker 4 (01:07:22):
For what it's worth, Illinois and Indiana are both ranked
in the top twenty five preseason.
Speaker 5 (01:07:27):
And Illinois has been resurgence in the last three years.
In Indiana is the last one. It's a SEC is similar. Realistically,
acc is a joke.
Speaker 4 (01:07:38):
So how of the big conferences helped it? Then? Besides financially,
we all get that. Nobody has to be explained.
Speaker 5 (01:07:45):
To that because you're adding, you're adding institutions into those
conferences that can balance out the dominance before you added
let's say Oregon and what they are, what USC maybe
can be, what you dubbed was two years ago before
you added that. It's Ohio State, Michigan State, and the
Big Ten and the last including Wisconsin, has been trashed.
Like it's only been three teams in the last nine
(01:08:07):
years into Big Ten. Like in the SEC, it's only
been Alabama. Every once in a while you got LSU.
It's been I can't think of the other one over there, Georgia.
Excuse me, thank you got Georgia. Now you added Texas
to balance that. Now you add a Oklahoma fire Britain venables,
but now you get Oklahoma, you bring them in there.
(01:08:29):
Now you bring in an Oregon to balance out your
purdues in northwesterns and even Iowa, who can't do anything
on offense. There's just a defensive powerhouse. You bring in USC.
So I think they kind of balanced the rest of
the conference that was just getting shredded. I think that part.
Speaker 4 (01:08:44):
Has helped we all want the big Games. I get it.
So you mentioned Texas, Ohio State. If I'm an athletic
director or I'm a head coach, I get why it's
being scheduled because the television and ratings and things. There's
no flipping way I'm playing that week when this day
and age, I need to I played Week three, or
I could get my guys up to speed. And I
(01:09:06):
suppose there's an argument you can use the entire offseason
to get ready for that first game. But because they
play San Jose State, Texas does in week two, I
would not schedule that week one. That would scare the
hell out of me because of the amount of you know,
kinks that you have to get through.
Speaker 5 (01:09:22):
You said what you want to about me. I wouldn't
schedule any of these out of conference powerhouse games anymore.
You don't need to. Like in a conference, you're gonna
have that game you're gonna have to play in the playoffs,
which is gonna be that game you don't need to.
So now I'm gonna go out of my way to
schedule at Texas or Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, who I think
is gonna be really good this year. One of these teams,
(01:09:44):
I'm gonna bring them in. And oh, by the way,
I probably have to go there. Let's say I don't one, okay,
cool one v one. I still have to play Oregon,
I still have to play Penn State potentially, I still
have Ohio State. I still have what I gotta do,
and then I gotta get through a gun now to
get to the national championship game. By getting the national
championship game, it used to be thirteen game, well, twelve games,
(01:10:06):
then thirteen in fourteen fifteen, that was sixteen to win
the national champions It's crazy. So, no disrespect. I don't
need to play Texas, I don't need to play LSU,
I don't need to play those teams. I gotta play
twelve games on top of maybe the Big Ten championship,
which means absolutely nothing, and then get through the gollege.
So I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
That is so true because when I have debates with
friends of mine about the whole nil thing, I literally
say I use that example in football. I say, I
want you to think about how many games these kids play.
You know, the student athlete thing has almost become a
joke that these kids what they have to do. You
lived it. You got to go to you're lifting, you're
(01:10:48):
going to class, you're lifting or watching film. You're practicing,
you're watching film, you're going home.
Speaker 7 (01:10:55):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
It is more than a full time job, without question.
Speaker 7 (01:10:59):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
And on top of that, they're playing and they're starting
earlier than a lot of NFL teams. They're playing an
NFL schedule for the most Yes.
Speaker 5 (01:11:07):
And oh, by the way, along the way, they're supposed
to go to class. Oh that's right, you guys. The
thing that's gonna.
Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
And enjoy the college experience, which is virtually the.
Speaker 5 (01:11:18):
Money helped that the thing that is going to happen,
and eventually they're gonna say, a, right, we gotta do something.
First time, they have a team play each other three
times because it's coming, because it's coming, playing the regular
season championship and then playing the championship again. That's going.
That could have been organing in Ohio State last year.
(01:11:38):
If they didn't play in the it could have been sure.
Speaker 4 (01:11:42):
So they didn't meet in the playoffs along the one.
Speaker 5 (01:11:45):
Because now there's not a divisional side, So it's like
this cyber is this side the championship? Now it's best
two teams in the conference they played in the championship game.
What if it's the same teams.
Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
Yeah, that's not even bringing up what the fans are
being asked to do, which apparently they don't have a
problem with because it was Chuck full in the Rose Bowl.
Is Chuck full of them, and all these different bowl
games en route to the national championship game. You're asking, hey,
let's go to every single game at home, even the
even the teams that you know you're playing at the
beginning of the season, like some of the mid majors.
Then you're asking me to go to there. Now you're
(01:12:17):
asking me to go to ind And they should rotate
that by the way it should be. I mean, Ford
Field should have at least, you know, a Big Ten
championship game once in a while. And now you're gonna
ask me to go to a number of playoff games
and then the national championship. Now you don't have to
go to all of them, granted, okay, but still that's
what they're doing. They're knocking on your door. Hey man,
you ready, okay, because we've got some tickets for it.
(01:12:38):
Now I'm gonna pass on this one. That might put
you behind the eight ball there for the next one.
Speaker 5 (01:12:41):
That's when you need Michigan State to step there. Bleep up.
And this isn't a shot at Michigan State. But name
me another state that has two powerhouse essentially Big ten programs.
Now you got Michigan and Michigan state. You know how
you can get the lobbying if that team was good.
Oh Big Ten championship before a field. Well we got
this fan it's got this fan base. We have this
in place, that in place like there's no other city,
(01:13:04):
right And in East Landson are a couple of miles
apart and in Detroit for phil is right here.
Speaker 4 (01:13:10):
Amen to that. And I've said that, I've said that
forever school easy mind. They need to go to Chicago.
They need to knock on the Big Ten U director's
door and say, hey, man, Indy does a great job
of putting on these events.
Speaker 5 (01:13:26):
You know what n I'm saying. I agree.
Speaker 4 (01:13:28):
I think Indianapolis is fantastic. I love when the Big
Ten tournament is there. They built a city in Chicago.
They built then they embrace it. They're excellent at what
they do. Detroit does a hell of a job in
putting on big events. And I mean that's a hell
of a job. Okay, So I think it's a it's
incumbent on Michigan State and Michigan and others in the
Big Ten to say rotat the rotate that son of
(01:13:50):
a guy. They do it in basketball, they played the
Big Ten championship game in Washington flipping d C. You
go into a bar that weekend, you know what they're doing.
They've got the ace. They don't have the Big Ten on.
They barely even know that they're that the Maryland Turpins.
We're playing in the Big Ten. They should be at
ford Field in a rotation. You want to take it
(01:14:11):
to Minnesota, go ahead, you want to take it to Indie,
go ahead. Detroit should be in the rotation because of
what Detroit can do, because of what Ford Field is,
and because of the proven track record that the city
of Detroit has shown everybody in the world on what
we can do. Why isn't it who is sleeping at
the wheel. We could get a Lift Tournament, we can
get a Ryder Cup, we can get All Star games
(01:14:33):
and championship, but we can't get a Big Ten championship
game that has basically been down to nothing.
Speaker 5 (01:14:38):
That's because the Big Ten don't like Michigan. It ain't
no secret.
Speaker 4 (01:14:42):
What are you talking?
Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
Big Ten don't like Michigan?
Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
Why hold on?
Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
The Big Ten conference doesn't like Michigan. They never have
Why because when the leaders in the best you see
all that. BS then went on with Harrorball and all
the harball and all that. How n the Big Ten
went after Michigan extra and still going after Michigan.
Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
Kevin, I mean, look, there are some things.
Speaker 5 (01:15:02):
They don't like Michigan. It's okay to say I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:15:05):
I don't believe that I do. I don't believe that
because Michigan's a money.
Speaker 5 (01:15:10):
Cow for It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You can
appreciate the money that people You can appreciate the money
that people bring in. At the same time, not like
that person. Now, just get somebody who's a cash call
for It doesn't mean you have to like them. Agree
that is true in business.
Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
That's an excellent point. I don't think the Big Ten
looks at Michigan and says I'm out to get them.
I don't like them.
Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
Kevin Warren's black asstore was and he got him up
out of there.
Speaker 4 (01:15:37):
Well, if that's if they got him up out of there,
well he didn't know.
Speaker 5 (01:15:40):

it was great. Does everybody remember who we had in

He was amazing?
Speaker 4 (01:21:20):
It was a lot of fun, right see him? Yeah,
and he's a New York guy. Or we don't hold
that against him. He's a New York guy who likes
his pizza. He came here.
Speaker 7 (01:21:30):
Where did he go?
Speaker 4 (01:21:31):
He went to Buddy I want to know now. I
don't know if he got the brisket brew or the
Rendezvous or whatever Detroit, the brisket pizza or the barbecue
chicken salad, which is really good. Maybe you got a
summer shandy to chase it down.
Speaker 7 (01:21:44):
A little bit.
Speaker 4 (01:21:44):
Either way, he went to Buddies and he was super impressed.
If it's winning over someone who hasn't had a chance
to ever have it before but now has it, then Okay,
you know, darn well it's good stuff. You've already known
it all your neighbor Buddies Buddiespizza dot com. Don't forget,
Buddies is more than just pizza, though they've got the

That sounds amazing. You know what Man.
Speaker 9 (01:22:25):
Maybe we can pick up one of these cars from Feldman.
We can drive down the street over the buddies and
we can get some pizza.
Speaker 4 (01:22:31):
The keys jingle, the keys you get out, that's all,
that's all we gotta do.
Speaker 9 (01:22:35):
You already see get ahead, start already scan that QR

Speaker 5 (01:23:06):
And we back Guardians. Guardian's picture had a no hitter.
Yeah you saw that one freaking so about time he
did something for them. I'm just joking.
Speaker 4 (01:23:19):
He has had a disappointing season.
Speaker 5 (01:23:21):
He think, I'm gonna tell you like this when you
sign for.
Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
Six plus seven plus.
Speaker 5 (01:23:27):
Excuse me, I thought six eighty five when you signed
for seven seven plus, Well, i'd be I'd be outside
his house with pitchforks and he broke up with no
hitter though with just hated himself two outs to go.
Speaker 8 (01:23:42):
Come on, man, you you know you would do the
same thing if you could. What if you was if
he was up at bat and got the break up
of no hitter?
Speaker 5 (01:23:48):
No, no, you're absolutely right. But I was saying, like,
for seven hundred million dollars, like he's his contract seven
hundred million this year, show and there's him.
Speaker 4 (01:23:57):
No, it's him then show. Oh that's right, Yeah, he
surpassed show.
Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (01:24:04):
When you say you.
Speaker 8 (01:24:05):
Don't have to for dollars either, they didn't add up
the gambling money either.
Speaker 4 (01:24:08):
When you say, where's that ring? Ring that bell? After that?
When you say when you say that, come on, you
know you do that to break up a no hitter?
What are you suggesting? Would you bunt to break up
a no hitter?
Speaker 8 (01:24:23):
He had a home run by the way, Yeah, No,
that's what I'm saying. I would do it with a
home run. No, I don't think I will. I don't
think I will bunt. I would do it. I would swing,
I would have to swing.
Speaker 7 (01:24:31):
Yeah, is it is it frowned upon to bunt?
Speaker 9 (01:24:34):
If it's a close game, I'm bunting if it helps
my team.
Speaker 4 (01:24:38):
When you got a bunt man, I'm planning. Here. Here's
my question. If if you bunt the ball and you
get on base, is it a base hit? I think so, Okay,
sure it is unless I got right. Okay, So why
is it such a bad thing to bunt your way on?
I'd i'd butt a second to break up.
Speaker 5 (01:24:57):
I think it's because people aren't as skilled as it.
I think, like the attempt that bunny isn't what it
used to be like back in the day, bunny was
quality like now, like people if you're trying to bunt
right now, like.
Speaker 4 (01:25:08):
You don't see it very often.
Speaker 5 (01:25:10):
That's like free throw. I mean, it's like the mid
range game something.
Speaker 7 (01:25:14):
Like they would know you're just intentionally doing it to
break it up.
Speaker 4 (01:25:17):
I suppose if it were, if it's like eight to nothing,
that's a little different, you know. I don't know what
the I don't know what the level score would have
to be in order for it to be taboo. I
still feel like set with silver like, you know what, listen,
but bring the third basement in. If there's nobody on you,
bring your third basement in. I don't know what's what's
so hard about that?
Speaker 5 (01:25:36):
If if you were at the play, Yeah, and a
picture that you respected as a colleague at the time,
that you respected, he was one strike or two strikes
or just you're a bat from a perfect game. For sure,
this was a and this was a This game didn't
mean anything. This is a game in May. Would you
(01:26:00):
would you?
Speaker 4 (01:26:00):
Would you?
Speaker 5 (01:26:01):
Would you do the Michael Strahan.
Speaker 4 (01:26:04):
To Brett Farr, Well, do you mean would you would
you do the Brett Favre to Michael stramm him right
right right, reverse, Absolutely not, I would not. I think
you've got it. When people say it doesn't mean anything
in May, Eventually it does. If you finish a game
out of a wild card spot, perhaps that game in
(01:26:24):
May did mean something.
Speaker 7 (01:26:26):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:26:26):
I believe I've always been to belief that I love
my friends dearly. I tell them that all the time.
I want to beat them, oftentimes more times than I
want to beat my ms. Okay, and I don't have
many enemies, so I'm not going that far. I don't understand.
But Braylan, I mean, come on, you're playing against brothers.
I mean, guys who have been in the huddle with you.
Want to beat them on a post route and all
those different things as much as anybody else, no matter
(01:26:49):
whether it's a preseason game. You talk about the game
that you had against Detroit. Yeah, okay, in a preseason
you remember that, don't you.
Speaker 5 (01:26:56):
True?
Speaker 4 (01:26:56):
Okay, so absolutely, I do it. By the way, it's
nine to four twins and now lead at nine. They've
scored in every inning except for terrible.
Speaker 7 (01:27:04):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (01:27:04):
That reminds me of a sports videos all years ago
where a guy had to he had to strike out
his best friend and win the state championship. Yes, and
he does it, but then he goes and hugs the friend.
I'm like, that's how you do it. I'm still gonna win.
Speaker 4 (01:27:15):
I saw that.
Speaker 8 (01:27:16):
I love you, but I gotta get I gotta get
this chip.
Speaker 4 (01:27:18):
Sure, sure, otherwise you lose respect. Right So here kool
aid after I said it's ninety four terrible, just terrible, shout.
Speaker 5 (01:27:27):
Out to It's one of those things, man, It's like
it's all fun and games until it's not. It's all
fun and games. I ask these questions and it's like, oh, no, no,
where we're not in this. And then you look up
and you're in a whole divisional race, right, you know
what I'm saying. In three weeks and it's and then
it's like, oh, well we need this. I'm more of
the I see it when I see it and what
(01:27:48):
I see from now.
Speaker 4 (01:27:50):
That there is the assumption, I think, well, you're playing
the Twins. I think they're thirteen games under five hundred. Okay,
they haven't reached five hundred on the road. They sold
off everything they basically had. I mean, you can't really
name many guys in their lineup, Royce Lewis, Ryan Jeffers,
I suppose Matt Wallner. There's a few guys, but it's
(01:28:13):
not like their household names.
Speaker 5 (01:28:14):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:28:15):
So, when you feel like a team has waived the
white flag and said we're done, we're moving forward, We're
just gonna see something. They have no business being on
the same field as a team that has amongst the
most wins in all of baseball.
Speaker 5 (01:28:28):
And also a team that we keep asking after each game,
when are they gonna turn that corner? When is it
gonna start to look a little bit different. When is
it gonna be a little more consistent? Like, I'm patient,
I'm with you, I'm patient, but I wanted to get
consistent again. I don't mind them losing games, but I
need you to win more than you lose. I need
you to Hey, look, here's five games. It needs you
(01:28:49):
to win three, lose two. I don't need you to
win one lose four.
Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
Right So right now, if they lose today, and it
sure looks like they're going to, but it's early, it's
the top of the eighth, they will live on six
of their last ten.
Speaker 7 (01:29:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:29:04):
See, Koley just made a WinCE, sneaky like they just
drew blood and that's not good enough, not good enough
against the team. Liked the process a little bit.
Speaker 9 (01:29:13):
And I'm seeing some people here in the chat chilling
under Vincena. He says this, goodness, gratch, he's he's starting
to crash. I'm just looking at how these things go.
But his last comment was I'm starting to not care
because it seems like they don't care relating to the Tigers.
Speaker 4 (01:29:30):
Yeah, I struggle with that. And here's why everybody, every athlete,
every individual shows how much they care in a different way. Okay,
and I always use this example, and I've got to
find a new one. I'll be honest with it. I
think Prince Fielder cared, but there's a lot of people
who caught him in a blowoutlass in the dugout, laughing
(01:29:51):
with Miguel Cabrera, and people were living. They were pissed.
You know, you don't care enough, you know, just because
you're losing. Yeah, but they're not athletes. Crap me if
I'm wrong here. Athletes aren't hanging on every single play
in every single game, especially baseball player.
Speaker 7 (01:30:08):
And that's just a personality.
Speaker 8 (01:30:10):
I want to be known to not be as serious
when people think you're supposed to be.
Speaker 7 (01:30:14):
I'm the one.
Speaker 8 (01:30:14):
I'll mess around a cracker joke, but that's just who
I am.
Speaker 5 (01:30:18):
I also think there's I also think there's a difference
too that you look at a different sport like my sport.
My sport at sixteen games, there's no time laughing, joking sideline,
you getting your ass kicked. I remember a specific time
two thousand and six. I'm on the sideline playing for
the Cleveland Browns at the time, and we're getting destroyed
offensively in terms of the defensive line getting to the
(01:30:39):
quarterback getting demolished offensive line. In fact, somebody on the
team for the somebody on the coaching staff for the
Detroit Lions was on this team. It's about six minutes
left in the game. Charlie Fry has been sacked ten times.
Go look the numbers up. I'm not lying. Two thousand
and six Bengals and Brown. I don't know if it's
(01:31:01):
the first time we played them, anyway, nine nine sacks,
nine sacks.
Speaker 4 (01:31:06):
I come off, yeah, nine, shout out Charlie Frying, akron.
Speaker 5 (01:31:10):
Uh interesting character. Legitimately, I get to the sideline and
the offensive line is over all of them, the whole
offensive line. You know, you thinking about the game offensive lineman.
It's not three of them or four of them or five,
it's all of them. Always. No, they're laughing, giggling, and
they're talking about the I don't know if it was
(01:31:31):
called of duty. I think it was called duty. But
PSP PSP was the thing on the travel Trust p
PSP sony PSP. Those jokers were laughing and giggling and
talking about different boards and who got who last time
and this that and the third y'all jokers just gave
up nine sacks. Yeah, wild y'all gave up nine sacks.
And so there's an infamous clip. You can pull it up.
(01:31:51):
It says Braylor Networks Charlie Fry sideline altercation. There was
no sideline altercation with Braylor News and Charlie Fry. There
was Brakland that was going off on the offensive, lineman
who was giggling and doing all the other extra stuff,
and we're all here getting killed. Meanwhile, Charlie Friday back
of his jersey, he's got grass stands all on it.
It's like a green nine. I was pissed. I went off.
(01:32:13):
I grabbed his jersey to show them what it looked like.
And then it looked on camera it looks like I'm grabbing,
which I was not, and everyone knows that.
Speaker 4 (01:32:20):
So but what was the response from them?
Speaker 5 (01:32:23):
More laughing and giggling. Oh why because we're getting out,
you know what's who? That was the beginning of the
end for me in Cleveland, Like, I just like that
mentality isn't what I came from in u of M.
But getting back on point, it's sixteen games. It can't
be any laughing and giggling. You know, you play one
hundred and sixty two games. At that point, you play
one hundred and six two games.
Speaker 4 (01:32:43):
There's jokes.
Speaker 5 (01:32:44):
How many times you see guys kicking in some flower
season and they're losing. I guarantee you it's some tigers
laughing right now.
Speaker 4 (01:32:50):
Maybe that's because here's what they know, and whether you
accept it or not, maybe different. But here's what they know.
Last year, the Dodgers won the championship, right, the only
games they lost sixty four. The year before Texas won
the World Series. You know how many games they lost,
sixty seventy two. Okay, so it's it's gonna happen in baseball,
(01:33:11):
You're right, Football is, it's a bad I used a
bad example. Football is not a good example because it's
once a week and there should be no lolly gegis
now afterwards. So that's an interesting point afterwards when you
see guys, when you see a team get their ass
kicked and you got guys switching jerseys.
Speaker 7 (01:33:29):
Boy, yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (01:33:30):
Do see that, right, we do see that. That pisses
a lot of fans off.
Speaker 8 (01:33:33):
That's social media era, bro, that's that's stuff would never
get sit right with me.
Speaker 4 (01:33:37):
Yeah, I can't imagine. You know, guys back in the day,
Reggie White exchanging jerseys or Lawrence Taylor or Fred Dryer,
those guys, they wouldn't do that.
Speaker 5 (01:33:46):
Let's see, I disagree. I had you guys. Oh, look
who's coming in the studio. I think it's my mom.
Had you had you guys over to the house. Yeah,
I took you in the back room. Pause on that,
and also shows you a box. And in that box
there was a bunch of jerseys. There was Reggie Wayne jersey.
There was a jersey. There was a Champ Bailey jersey.
(01:34:07):
There was Andre Johnson jersey. There I got those after games.
I was a fan of the work. I was a
fan of the individual slide slid sl slid slide fly slid.
Speaker 4 (01:34:20):
Can she can put it between the doors.
Speaker 5 (01:34:22):
You can bring it up your mom. It's all good.
It's two seconds.
Speaker 4 (01:34:26):
They won't even have She goes, I'm illegally parked. I
don't want to come up.
Speaker 7 (01:34:30):
Here the club.
Speaker 6 (01:34:32):
See there's there's there's the difference. There's the difference again.
There you go, you look good, have a great day,
have a great day.
Speaker 11 (01:34:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:34:44):
I want a concert with moms. But I forgot.
Speaker 4 (01:34:48):
Oh you going to concert with mom tonight? Yeah? Very cool. Yeah,
but you were talking about your jersey. You're getting Reggie Wayne.
So you think, guys, I'm saying back in the day
before the social media, which is what got it's different,
I think, yeah, I want they wanted to kill each other,
you know. The respect was I'll give you a hug
on the field, you know, and we're talking the off season.
That's what it was like, Hey, I'm glad you made
(01:35:09):
it through the game healthy. I'm glad I made through
the game healthy. We'll talk in the off season. Now
it's you know, we're going out tonight.
Speaker 7 (01:35:15):
Yeah, and I think I feel like that's what's the
thing I'm not used to. Is they doing that right
after the game?
Speaker 5 (01:35:19):
Thank you, Lebron.
Speaker 8 (01:35:20):
Yes, that's that's real quick.
Speaker 7 (01:35:23):
I caught that clip.
Speaker 8 (01:35:24):
This is how I know that you were really over
Cleveland because it was forty seven seconds left in the
third quarter when you started to go off.
Speaker 4 (01:35:32):
Oh but you'll had.
Speaker 7 (01:35:34):
A whole another quarter of it to go.
Speaker 4 (01:35:35):
That's how man.
Speaker 5 (01:35:36):
It was like I promised crazy. In fact, hold on,
what was that game? What's the uh? I just click
you can go ahead.
Speaker 4 (01:35:46):
But what I was going to say was Cleveland should
embrace you.
Speaker 5 (01:35:49):
For that that.
Speaker 4 (01:35:51):
Should be celebrated. Well, I mean, if we're talking about caring, okay,
the gas level, the given ship level. If you're caring,
you at it as high as anybody on that day.
Why would anybody hold that against you? Most people would
be like, Braylink, you're my guy.
Speaker 5 (01:36:06):
Perception. Perception is reality at the time. Even now, what
do you say about the wide receiver position? What do
you guys say about it? And this is everybody.
Speaker 4 (01:36:13):
People say it's a diva that's necessarily fair.
Speaker 5 (01:36:16):
But it's not about what's fair enough what's said about it,
and what's said is it's a diva position. So when
you got a young receiver who just got drafted third
overall and I won't even go that route. All receivers
it in the town with black, but it doesn't look right.
You got this black receiver pulling on his white quarterbacks
jersey and when you watch it on TV, it just
looks like I'm grabbing his jersey. So the team never spent,
(01:36:38):
never gave the right angle, They never came out and
said it was going off. But here's why you can't
support me, because what am I doing, I'm essentially calling
on eleven players on the field live in the game.
I'm calling out the whole offensive line, and they can't
come out here and say, well, it wasn't about Charlie Fry.
It was about the offensive lineman giggling have to giving
(01:37:00):
up nine sacks and Charlie Fry Almoms getting his neck broke.
They can't say that either. I get so now I
get stuck in the conundrum.
Speaker 4 (01:37:08):
If you're a pr person, you could easily spin in
say he was upset about something else that had nothing
to do with Charlie. All he did was was support Charlie.
If you can't and let people and let people, let
members of the media dig for the rest of it.
Speaker 5 (01:37:22):
See, and this is where if I had have played
at Ohio State, that would have came out. But I
played at Michigan. It's a little different in Ohio. I
know that sounds crazy. I hope that everybody that's been
there since I left it said the same thing. I
pray Mason Graham it's a little bit different.
Speaker 4 (01:37:39):
I hope so too. Speaking of Mason Graham, uh, he
was taken early in the NFL Draft as a defensive tackle.
The Lions chose to go with the defensive tackle and
Tyler Williams. Here's Dan Campbell on how their first round
pick is progressing. Splashy is practice in the backfield a
(01:38:02):
lot where if you've seen him grill the most from
the game.
Speaker 11 (01:38:05):
Of camp Uh, yeah, well he's what we saw on
his college tape is really showing up here. And that's
his ability to play to really get knocked back, you know,
into the backfield. Uh, kind of recreate the line of scrimmage.
He's got a good shot and shed sometimes a little
(01:38:26):
too good. He'll jump out of a gap if you're
not careful. So we're trying to just stay on him
with that and and then he can get an edge,
you know, his rush, he can get an edge. He's
he's trending the right way, he's growing. We just got
to get him in better shape, you know, and that'll
come there again with reps. Uh, we're gonna give those
guys today a ton of reps.
Speaker 7 (01:38:47):
You know.
Speaker 11 (01:38:47):
Out there, We're gonna work you know, a two minute
drill that'll be it'll be good for everybody, really, they
all need it. So from a coach's perspective, what does
it like to work.
Speaker 4 (01:39:00):
Our Thanks to Detroy Lyons really good sound there that
they put up on their website. T troent Lions dot
com for helping us with that. And Dan Campbell on
Tyleek Williams, who you know should be a key contributor
early early on. What will you need to see from
him if and I hope he does play Friday against Atlanta,
we expect him to.
Speaker 5 (01:39:19):
I need him to be physical. Let's start there. You're
talking about one of the big guys up front. I
know he lost some weight, he's still floating around probably
three hundred and eighteen pounds or so. Coming out of
Ohio State. Ohio State on defense has been soft soft
within Capital s FT. They have been soft for the
last four years. Hence the dominance up front by the
(01:39:40):
University of Michigan and other teams that have played them
in space.
Speaker 4 (01:39:44):
How do you win a national championship by being the.
Speaker 5 (01:39:45):
Soft because, well, realistically, because it's a finesse league now anyway,
everybody's finesse. You get to the organ's a finesse team,
like SMU is a finesse team. Penn State has turned
into a finesse team. With the exception of outside linebackers.
They still know how to hit. It's a finesse instant,
It's just finesse now. That's where the game has gone.
That's why when you have a team that can play
discipline ball, that can play physical ball and mix it
(01:40:09):
with some speed, they can win championships. I e. The
University of Michigan, I E. Georgia, I E. Bama, I E.
Clemson when they were doing it. They're still with the
physical mode. I need him to show me that he's physical.
That's what I want to see out of him. And
that's what Kelvin is preaching. That's what Dan Campbell has
started here. It's the physicality. It's tough, it's relentless, it's nasty.
(01:40:32):
This is what Kevin Shepperd said he wanted to be.
That's what I want to see. You're a big fella.
I don't want to see you being all nice and
cool and smiling and you know, hey, and I'm big.
No no, no, I need you get after somebody. You're the
big guy up front. You set the tone up front.
Ellen McNeil says, the tone up front, like you can
be nice. Quinn Williams has one of the best smiles
in the NFL New York Jets. Quinn will best smile
(01:40:55):
in the NFL when the game starts, you know where
he's gonna be in the backfield with ruthless aggression. Chris Jones,
Cameron Hayward, the list goes on. Now. I'm not saying
he has to be as great as those guys, but
I need him to play and embody that spirit. I
don't want to see all It's different when you're a
big guy upfront going against the offensive line. So that's
what I need to see out of him. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:41:15):
I've heard.
Speaker 5 (01:41:17):
I've heard from my young bulls at Michigan a lot
of soft guys, A lot of comments came off the
other side of the ball. So I don't want him
to be a part of that. I need him to
embody with Dan Campbell and in that grid here. I
got to see that because right now I'm hoping. I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:41:33):
What's the opportunity for him he's got. I mean, he's
got a chance to establish himself as in every probably
not every down because they rotate inside, but as as
a starter right away him Ali McNeil, him, DJ Reader,
he's got a chance to really stand out.
Speaker 5 (01:41:49):
Don't you think I would like it to be him?
And Alee McNeil. DJ Reader is a guy that we
got for a short term, figure it out for a
couple of years. Yeah, he's the guy right now. He
and Talite Williams while Lee McNeil comes back. When Lee
McNeil is ready, I want them to be sliding DJ
Reader to the bench and having them to Leak Williams
in there, and I want I want I want DJ
to bet the guy coming off the bench. That's what
(01:42:11):
I want from you're talking about October is when you
get a Lee McNeil back, maybe mid maybe November. I
need when he comes back. I wanted to be to
leak and him.
Speaker 4 (01:42:22):
I know it's different because it's a different position, but roughly,
what do you think we can expect from him in
terms of plays, reps, quarters, whatever. That's what everybody wants
to know when they go to camp, always asking coaches
how long are we going to see the starters? How
long are we going to see the rookies? How long
would you expect to see Tyler Williams in that rotation?
(01:42:44):
At least for the first preseason game.
Speaker 5 (01:42:46):
I think he gets a strong two to three series.
I think it's strong to the three series and maybe
more in the second game, well, the third, I think
two to three series. You want to see what he has.
You don't want to play him too much, but you
gotta get him out there, you know, and you're looking
for a drive to go. That's when in preseason and
training camp, those are the drives you look for. You
look for him to have the offense talking about against
(01:43:06):
Tillie Williams and defense. You look for him to have
about eight nine, ten, eleven, twelve play drive so that
you can watch him grow within the series. You can
see what happens after he may misattackle what happens you know,
if they have to stay on the field too long.
Where's his where's his breath? You know? Is he in shape?
Is he not in shape? What does it look like?
How does he think? How does he process situations that
(01:43:27):
come on the fly. It's one thing to call things
out in the film room when you feel confident and
you're sitting there watching it. What does it look like
on that field where it's you and the other.
Speaker 4 (01:43:36):
Ten doesn't matter who he plays with or just who
he plays against. In other words, if there's a starter
next to him or starters behind him, does it really matter.
Speaker 5 (01:43:46):
No, because I still can see the things.
Speaker 7 (01:43:47):
You know.
Speaker 5 (01:43:48):
Obviously, you'll be much better once you're playing alongside of
the guys that are going to start, alongside guys that
you know you built that rhythm of cadence with. But
I just want to see the physicality. I don't need
to see left or right or north and south to
see if you're physical, if you can fill the gaps,
to see if you can tackle guys in space, to
see what that aggression looks like when you grab somebody,
like are you just tackling somebody and get them to
the ground or are you picking somebody up and letting
(01:44:10):
them know seventy eight tackles.
Speaker 10 (01:44:13):
I'm being real no.
Speaker 9 (01:44:14):
By That's what I liked about the comments because they
talked about the versatility of Toddleague Williams that he's showing
and the physicality too.
Speaker 4 (01:44:21):
They said that he's re.
Speaker 9 (01:44:22):
Establishing a line of scrimmage, and I want to ask you,
I know that he was brought here to effectively play
you know, interior, the inside of that defensive line. But
Dan also talked about the fact that he's establishing and
has a speed. He's getting into the backfield so fast
that he's establishing an edge as well.
Speaker 5 (01:44:37):
Yeah, I think it's about the more you can do.
You know, Brad Holmes has shown you the whole time
he's been here. The more you can do at a position,
the more you can do for the Detroit Lions, the
more valuable you will be. So you're talking about a
guy that can get to the quarterback as well as
just clog it up. I mean, Chris Jones. I keep
using him. I know he's the elite of the elite
as it relates to defensive tackles on the inside, but
(01:44:58):
he does it all. You see him in a run game.
He shows up when they just need him. Hey, look
on this play, Chris. We just need you to blow
it up and then we'll figure it out. From around you.
I've been hearing great news about Marcus Davenport in terms
about how he'sn't playing. You talked about it yesterday, Lynchpin
and all this kind of stuff. So if you can
get this, you get that, you can get a lean
to start floating and creating some mismatches because you're gonna
(01:45:18):
have a lot of guards that are older and they
don't understand. That's one thing he does well. He moves
laterally well for a big man, kind of like Lee
McNeil a little bit, so you can get to the
quarterback and establish that look the f out.
Speaker 4 (01:45:30):
Yeah, that's what I like about this. In fact, I
remember reading up on him before the draft, and some
of the comparisons of Tyler Williams to NFL players was
Ali McNeil. Now, I don't know if Dan Campbell's just
telling people, you know, because Lions Nation is still upset
(01:45:50):
about not dealing with, you know, the opposite and rusher
of Eden Hutchinson. I can't imagine Tyler Williams being quick
enough to play off the edge the edge, but if
he can impass, yeah, if he can rush the passer inside,
I think that's where you become almost as valuable because
(01:46:11):
no quarterback, as you know, no quarter coming from the
edge is one thing you can always step up. Most
quarterbacks will tell you I don't want pressure in my face.
That's when it becomes the most difficult. And if he
can add that, that's a huge bonus for us. And
I don't even look at quarterback sacks. I'm talking about
pressures and getting hands on guys.
Speaker 10 (01:46:30):
Stephen Baffi in the chat, he agrees with you.
Speaker 9 (01:46:33):
He says pressure up the middle is more devastating and
valuable than edge pressure.
Speaker 4 (01:46:37):
That's just in his opinion. But the only probably the
only thing I would say to that is NFL personnel
don't necessarily always agree with you and I, Steven, because
look at who makes all the money.
Speaker 5 (01:46:48):
Yeah, this is when you got to see what Kelvin
sheperd is as it relates to a defensive coordinator because
the concepts of things they're gonna be coming from him
and games is gonna be one of the great things.
You're talking about a guy getting to the quarterback from
the interiors. But that's when you create these games and
the games you know, for those out there, it's when
outside linebacker comes inside, grabs or sheds, and then the
interior guy comes around on the outside or match excuse me,
(01:47:12):
or versions like that. Sometimes you can go outside and
stunts and so on, and so there you go stunts
and twists.
Speaker 9 (01:47:17):
But like Kelvin Shepard is big on that, and then
that pointed that out on.
Speaker 5 (01:47:21):
The broadcast doing the playoffs, and that's gonna be good
for them. You get to leak Williams be able to
move like that, you know, maybe it's not putting him
on the head, but what it is is you got
you know, Aiden coming down hard and lean wrapping around.
You know, you got this big guy out there in
space three eighteen. You're looking like where am I going
to go? So that could be really interesting and really cool.
It's still a month left for the season. It's still
(01:47:42):
a month, still a lot of time.
Speaker 4 (01:47:45):
It just can't get here fast. And I mean, it's
one of those times. And I love talking sports with
people and all kinds of different sports, but it is
it's one of those times where the anticipation for football
is so high, and it is so it energizes so
many of us you wanted to get There's a part
(01:48:06):
of me it's almost like leading up to Christmas for me.
Speaker 7 (01:48:08):
I was just about to say it literally, leading.
Speaker 4 (01:48:10):
Up to Christmas is oftentimes my favorite time of the year.
When Christmas comes, it's almost like a letdown because the
build up has been so much, so enjoyable. The build
up to football is so enjoyable right now, even though
there's there's a number of questions in training camp. When
the first game finally comes, I mean, it's it's so
(01:48:31):
awesome to know that whole week. I can't wait the
countdown is on. It's like when you were in you know,
the practice facility at the University of Michigan and they
got the countdown clock up there before you play Ohio
State that week. There's something different about that week.
Speaker 5 (01:48:46):
It is you know that clock, is that clock is
a real deal. And you get looking at that clock
every time you leave that locker room. Is it gets
closer and it gets closer, and it gets closer like
your body starts to change your hair on the back
of your next you start swaiting just you know that
it's getting close and it's getting close to something great.
Speaker 8 (01:49:05):
That's why one of the best marketing lines to me
is waiting all day for Sunday night. That's to me,
that's one of the that's the best way to describe it.
Like we're literally just waiting to get to the game
and then we're just continue to wait. Yeah, right, best way.
That's good.
Speaker 4 (01:49:16):
All right, let's get to the mail bag, shall we.

Mail bag mail bag, Let's go. You know what I'm watching.
I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, I'm watching the Braylen Edwards
explosion on the sidelines for Cleveland. Yeah, talking to Ruben Drones,
talking to the offensive lineman. It's not something that I
had necessarily seen. His team is down twenty three zip
(01:51:34):
and there was just a minute left and he's yeah,
it doesn't look like he's grabbing Charlie Fry. It looks
like Ruben Drones he's not.
Speaker 5 (01:51:44):
And that's also I was super close to Ruby two
as my guy. That was probably the first older, older
cat kind of showed me the rolls I hung out
with kind of learned a little bit of game for
but he messed it up because him coming over the
grabbed me, Yeah, makes it look like I'm trying so
you can see me like, no, Ruven, I'm talking about this.
Speaker 8 (01:52:03):
It's like I just want a situations like you're mad
at the wrong person. Don't grab me, like don't get
don't grab me.
Speaker 5 (01:52:10):
Just stand next to him, like you don't grab me,
just stand next to me.
Speaker 7 (01:52:14):
Right because you weren't wrong.
Speaker 4 (01:52:16):
And and that's why TV doesn't you with justice now
And then.
Speaker 17 (01:52:19):
You know you're you're looks it from TV at the
point it looks like you're yelling at Reuben drones and
really what you're saying doing you got to understand where
I'm coming from.
Speaker 4 (01:52:30):
Blah blah blah blah blah. Right then you grabbed Charlie
France and said this is what I'm talking about, and
he intercepts you just to say, don't put your hands
on it.
Speaker 5 (01:52:37):
And at the end of the day, but this is
also to like the more you know, this is my
second year. This is is a learning experience for me. Look,
it's like they say and the Godfather never discuss family
business outside the family.
Speaker 4 (01:52:48):
Never let them know what you're thinking.
Speaker 5 (01:52:50):
I discussed family business outside of the family with my actions.
So it's a learning experience. You live, you learn.
Speaker 4 (01:52:57):
All right, let's get back to the mailbag. Sorry about cool,
Go ahead, no, may we got it.
Speaker 9 (01:53:01):
I love these stories from Bray and I'm hoping that
the Chat family they appreciate them too. I saw these
comments the people love the breakdown on Isaac Tesla and
love it and such.
Speaker 4 (01:53:11):
That segment clip blew up.
Speaker 9 (01:53:12):
If you haven't seen it, Chat family, get to the YouTube,
make sure you find it. You'll see Tesla's face on there.
And it's former NFL wide receiver reacts two and it
was epic.
Speaker 4 (01:53:21):
Man. So I'm really happy for Tesla. I think he's
gonna be I think he's gonna be a really good player.
I'm excited for the season in the regard that we've
got a guy who played at the highest level who
can tell us how he's helping the offense. Wide receivers
tight ends all these days, they can help the offense
without getting catches. We just don't always and when I
(01:53:44):
say we, I mean me too. We're not. We don't
always recognize it, you know, because what are we doing.
We're watching Jared Goff back to pass, looks left, find
Saint Brown out on an outpattern.
Speaker 5 (01:53:55):
Caught.
Speaker 4 (01:53:55):
That's a pickup of eleven. We don't know what Tesla
did as a member of the the outside and driving
a guy out to clear open that spot. He's gonna
be able to break that down for us.
Speaker 5 (01:54:05):
Yeah what you just said right there, that's I'm saying
Brown in the slot. Legitimately, you got a corner outside
on Tesla. Tesla is gonna take a go route because
Testla is sixty three and a half uh to eighteen.
Oh shoot, it's a go route. I got to open
my hipsits a DP, turn my back to the inside
safety in the play. Now I'm up the sideline. Now
when I'm Brown runs that out, it's a one on
(01:54:25):
one situation. Catches that out if that guy misses that
tackle because the dB is way down the field with Tesla. Yeah,
that's now a chance to go for you know much more.
That's the little things of how you influenced the game.
He didn't catch a passing that right, but the guys
got open.
Speaker 8 (01:54:41):
Or one of my favorites when a receiver will be
running a rout and say somebody called it underneath he'll
continue to run the route.
Speaker 7 (01:54:47):
So that dB. That's one of my favorite.
Speaker 4 (01:54:51):
The Scout report.
Speaker 9 (01:54:52):
You know, oh, we don't have to even really take
this side of to feel serious.
Speaker 4 (01:54:56):
That's gonna mess up everything on others that that'll be.
That'll be part of Braylan's breakdown on a weekly basis,
set outside by the way, so that the light Lions.
The Tigers are down nine to four, it's the bottom
of the ninth. They've got a man on. There's nobody else.
Riley Green's up. Riley Green's o for three with two strikeers.
Speaker 7 (01:55:13):
So you're saying, no, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (01:55:15):
But what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that Riley Green,
who I mean?
Speaker 7 (01:55:21):
I do?
Speaker 4 (01:55:22):
I love him? Okay, I think he's awesome. I like
him so much. I think he's a really good player.
One hundred and fifty two strikeouts is a lot. It
leads all of baseball. It doesn't lead the American League
or the Ale Center. It leads all of baseball this year.
Unless things go differently and go and they go further
(01:55:43):
than a lot, He's gonna get labeled this. It's hard
to shake labels. It is you know that better than anybody. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:55:49):
Also to like, for one hundred and fifty ten strikeouts,
you've got to be giving me coswarb a production, right,
just struck out again, So that's three punches.
Speaker 4 (01:55:58):
Kyle Schwarver's got forty five, you're hitting forty bombs. You
can overlook you're Aaron Judge, you're hitting fifty three bombs.
You can overlook the one hundred and seventy one one hundred
if you're not. And he's got what twenty eight twenty
six home runs, which is okay, but no, I mean
it's not a it's not Washington.
Speaker 5 (01:56:16):
If you're in eighty five strikeouts, then that's good, then
that's really good. Twenty six eighty five, one hundred and
fifty two, it's just not.
Speaker 4 (01:56:23):
Yeah, and now one fifty three that's crazy. Alright, back
to the Mailbax.
Speaker 9 (01:56:27):
Yeah, I'm gonna clean up some super chats first. Here
shout out to to QB in the chat. Been there,
he says, push through Tigers, pushed through with the two
dollars super chat, don te one five one with the
one not even not super chat, it says the Osbournes
back in two thousand and two was one of his
best shows, one of the best shows on h V
(01:56:47):
on MTV early when we were talking about MTV music and.
Speaker 8 (01:56:50):
That some of the old show down Fall, that was
if you want a good lad that was Revamp.
Speaker 5 (01:56:55):
Yeah, it's for him, it will It helped him, I
must say it helped.
Speaker 7 (01:56:58):
Him, say EMPTV.
Speaker 8 (01:57:00):
That was one of the first reality shows they had
at the beginning of no music, but yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:57:03):
For him it was.
Speaker 4 (01:57:05):
But at least it was music related, you know what
I mean? You could almost see the connotation and I
agree with you a little of a stretch there, Ricky,
But I would say this, if you want a good laughing,
go to YouTube. You can follow us on YouTube. You know,
that's where you watch Woodward Sports too. But if you
wanted a good laugh go type in him and his
beer and how he comes out. Someone took all my bills.
(01:57:29):
Pretty freaking no idea.
Speaker 7 (01:57:30):
Who he wasn't too?
Speaker 4 (01:57:31):
That show it made There's not there are not many.
He's a superstar. Okay, he's a superstar in the world
of rock. There's not many superstars who would allow themselves
to be filmed like that and shown as that vulnerable.
Speaker 7 (01:57:46):
He was against it in the beginning it was Sharon
that really talked them in.
Speaker 4 (01:57:49):
You could understand why you would be against it. He
comes out of his bedroom. He says, someone took all
my bill out of my refrigerator. I don't think so, darling,
And he goes, oh, I would be against that too.
Don't make it look great. Hey shout out to Michael Waring.
Speaker 5 (01:58:02):
A lot of drugs, I would says, and somebody else
is you'urine?
Speaker 4 (01:58:14):
True? But Cruz.
Speaker 9 (01:58:17):
Shout out to Michael Wherry. He sent in two different
two dollars. He said he believes that the Super Conferences.
He believes that you get better competition this way. And
he also believes this with the second Super chat. Uh
he gave it.
Speaker 4 (01:58:31):
He got three likes on this one.
Speaker 9 (01:58:32):
He believes that Michigan and Notre Dame need to renew
the rivalry.
Speaker 5 (01:58:36):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (01:58:37):
I agree with that too. I agree he's dead on there.
Speaker 5 (01:58:40):
I agree because that's different than Michigan scheduling l s
U or Georgia Alabama. That's Michigan scheduled team. Yes, they
got to the final four last year, that was a
game away from the championship. That's the team that they know.
That's a rivalry that the country knows. You know, I
know Notre Dames rival with everyone, but Michigan is probably,
you know, somewhere between three to five in terms of
(01:59:02):
Notre Dames rivalry games.
Speaker 9 (01:59:04):
He spent some epic, epic epic highlights as far as.
Speaker 4 (01:59:08):
The one two, as far as you're playing more challenging teams.
I think Brayley went over it earlier in the show.
I mean, Michigan's got Western Michigan, Boston College or Michigan State.
I'm sorry, has Western Michigan, Boston College, Youngstown State, at
USC At Nebraska, u C, l A, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
Penn State, Iowa, Maryland.
Speaker 7 (01:59:31):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (01:59:31):
Just because they're bigger conferences doesn't mean it's better competition.
Speaker 5 (01:59:35):
From Michigan State. Shoo, That's that's the schedule they need.
Speaker 4 (01:59:39):
I don't disagree with you. I think it's perfect for that.
Speaker 7 (01:59:42):
There's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (01:59:43):
Hey, tomorrow, we're really excited. Bredy Queen's going to join us.
Speaker 7 (01:59:46):
Good friend of.
Speaker 9 (01:59:49):
Though, there's just one more four nine nine super chat.
It's from Michigan at Michigan's what I can see here.
He says, what are Shep's.
Speaker 10 (01:59:56):
Thoughts on MLB Playoff pitcher.
Speaker 4 (02:00:00):
That might be something that you bring up.
Speaker 7 (02:00:01):
Maybe bring tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (02:00:02):
They'll play picture on the ps C t u U.
Speaker 4 (02:00:06):
Pager like the MLB picture. Yeah, we kind of went
over it. I think there's a couple of teams right
now better than Detroit in the American League, and I
think there's at least four teams in the National League. Okay, Okay,
so we can dive into that a little bit further.
