of kool aidase. Kool Aid father deals with life like

Speaker 4 (01:54):
But to deal with.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Life and then have that smile and still you don't

Speaker 6 (02:15):
Man, it looked really sharp.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Look, man, I'm gona on twenty five bucks. Man the
store ride around the corner of Dotate Motive. Amazing store.
Going there and get your fits and you know, maybe
we'll get them on board one day. But I've been
shopping there for a while. It's cool. Some of the
stuff is expensive. For some of the stuff like this
is it's a duke?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Wait are those prescription?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
These are not?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
But you can so you're wearing them for effect. And
that's the fact it looks really good. I wish you
wouldn't have said how much it was or that it
wasn't prescripted. That's a hell of a deal.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
No, no, no, no, no, no, yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Because it means it. It looks like they look like
they're two hundred and twenty five.

Speaker 7 (02:50):
I gotta put you look at this, man.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
I heard I thought that was Gucci when you walked there.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah that's what.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah. I let's say you like this. You know the
old school saying the man makes the clothes, not the
other way around.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
Twenty five bucks bars.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, So it begs the question why do you want
to wear glasses just for the sake of word? And
glasses looks good?

Speaker 3 (03:12):
I feel good? You look good with aut him to
switch it out, receiver right there to look good, play
good shout on that one. But survived when you when
you feel good, the energy is good. As soon as
I walked in, first thing, KZ okay, I see you
channeling Martin Lawrence. You know what I'm saying. The black
on black the Martin show is it's you know, it

(03:33):
was a joke on New Jack City and the infamous
scene where he's walking around with the all black and
trying to figure out who who blew the money? So
but the energy he talked about the glasses, he's I
see you the glasses. Thank you? You see the glasses. Now
I can take this. What's up? How they going? And
then you take that to the next person. So they
accomplished the go Now the chat is just saying it's Gucci, Brightlan,

(03:56):
it's Gucci. You know what?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
He could get away with it, right, I swear, Hey,
if he said, if he sat behind that microphone and
said these are Gucci, they cost me six figures, my figure.
People would be like, yeah, I could buy that. Yeah. Absolutely.
Instead he's being honest Brayln like he usually is. Twenty
five dollars. They're not prescription, the strictly for look, get

(04:18):
yourself something. I couldn't pull it off, but you look good.
Kule could pull it off. I think kg could definitely
pull it up. I need a parent. Let me give
you the credit. You don't have to sit.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
Oh yeah, I know I could.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I no, no, injured, could not pull them off.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
I gotta no offense.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
No one, you're not pulling that off.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Funny story about you thinking somebody it's real because of
who that person is.

Speaker 6 (04:40):
Yeah, I wish I would.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Not a woman, is it?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
No no, no, no, no, no, no no no. It's a guy.
He's pretty famous, and I'll get to him. I'm telling you,
I wish I would have done this when I got drafted.
I stopped shopping for earrings at the Beauty of plast
store when I got drafted. I'm going to real Joris Jewelers,
real jewelry stores, real diamonds, the whole nine yards and
waste and tons and tons and tons of money. I

(05:02):
go to a concert in Cleveland. This would have been
in two thousand and eight during training camp. It was
a day off, so there was no sneaking out of
the hotel. Wink wink. I go to a concert. It's
a famous entertainer, one of the biggest R and B
stars of all time, King R and B. I'll get
to that. And afterwards my manager knew his manager, so

(05:23):
it was all right, cool, they got us the tickets.
Come backstage, we can hang out. So R Kelly concert.
So I go back in the back. Everybody's vibe and
it's good vibes. Then you get to the back room
where our Kelly's stuff is. R Kelly's room is, and
I see the huge diamond earrings. R Kelly used to
wear these huge five six seven carriage stuff. I'm like, man,

(05:43):
it had to cost one hundred and fifty thousand whatever.
There was one in the ear ring packet. It was
a Claire's ear ring. Claire's air ring.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
You can buy that at the mall.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
R Kelly, who was on top at that time, was
shopping at Claire's. Yeah, and I was like, huh, that's
smart because nobody would ever think that R. Kelly is
wearing fake Jeordy, right, Nobody would ever think Lebron James
is wearing fake jewdy. Nobody would think that I was
wearing fake juddy. But I'm allergic to that green stuff.
So I stayed with be careful, I stay with you.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
That's such a good point because it sounds like anyone's
gonna take it out of his ear and say, I'm
taking this to the jewelry to get a praise.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Right, except for when you start doing that gun like
we do an LCA with the little gun to see
if the diamonds are real. See, nowadays you're get in trouble.
R Kelly, he dies the bullet. Well almost, I was
gonna say be careful there almost.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
So you look good, you gotta he said, you gotta
look good, you gotta feel good. And you told about
other stuff. Now, on this day, folks, and on this
day in nineteen seventy six, that was not the case
for the Chicago White Sox, because I was never the
case for the White I know it's never the case
for the White size. They got hideous uniforms. They on
this day in nineteen seventy six broke out something that

(07:02):
has really hasn't been seen since. And I'm glad it
hasn't been seen since they played the Kansas City Royals
and the White Sox played them in mudd shorts.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
I got the back wall coming shortly shorts quite the site.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yes, they played them in shorts. First of all, Ralph
Garr and those guys. I remember watching this. Ralph Garr
and those guys. There's Ralph gar right there. How cool
is that?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
He looks like Michael Winslow from the Academy Movies.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
He does. You're right, but look at that? I mean,
how nuts is that?

Speaker 3 (07:35):
There's only one thing you think about when you see this.
How are you sliding?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
That's the first thing I thought about. Raspberry.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
You gotta get a raspberry. That's tough. I don't mind
to look.

Speaker 8 (07:47):
The collar on the jersey is more atrocious to me,
Like that is horrible.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
It's a fake collar too, looks like it looks like
a T shirt. It looks like the fake bowling shirt.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
The shorts don't bother me as much.

Speaker 8 (08:02):
Maybe if we were more accustomed to seeing it, it
wouldn't look as bad.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
But we're not accustomed to see it, and it looks okay.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
I don't think it's the worst look ever, But He's
what's worse than that?

Speaker 2 (08:12):
How How in the world can you think that looks okay?
It's a baseball games, not a softball game. It's it's
not cokay.

Speaker 8 (08:19):
But you're conditioned that way because you've seen pants all
this time.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
No, no, no, no, I'm conditioned because I played baseball
and I know what it's like to slide.

Speaker 6 (08:31):
Yeah, and noses.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Condition.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
You know what condition is? Conditions Golfers wearing pants like
it's it's ninety degrees at the FedEx SAT two Championship.
You should be able to wear shorts. That's condition, especially baseball.
You do it for a reason.

Speaker 8 (08:45):
Yeah, well performance is different than actual look. But I
get what you mean.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Like those shoes are like the whole the whole aesthetic
is the shoes are cheese.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
The shirts god awful. Like the shorts. It shorts for
the time. My dad, my dad used to wear the
Hootie Daddy stores. He played for the Michigan But that
was a style at the time. Shoot, I'm starting to
wear those with like that was the look. But it
looks like it looks like training camp, like when you're just
out there children.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
I think it looks like softball I mean, this is
the stuff we used to do. When you graduated college,
you liked baseball, you wanted to keep playing some form
of baseball, so you get in a beer league. We
were talking about beer League hockey yesterday, beer League softball.
That's what you wear, not the shirt, but the shorts
and even the socks. I mean the socks up to

(09:37):
the knees. Yeah, I mean it's just not working it doesn't.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
You know that that type of mustache is called CAZy,
not not you CAZy or kool a.

Speaker 6 (09:46):
No, no, the handlebars.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
It's called the tickler.

Speaker 7 (09:50):
Whould you like to elaborate?

Speaker 6 (09:53):
I don't think that.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
No, no nolaboration on this one. P. Thirteen show the Tickler,
even though he went there the worst one of the
tickling bro with this Friday, it's freaky Friday talked about
it is definitely a freaking What is going on?

Speaker 2 (10:15):
I don't know, man, Everything we brought into so far
kind of can't go back to the ticket makes its.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Make sense with this, I take him when we get
serious with this.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Excluded with that'll be on Braylen's breakdown with It's excluded.
What's the worst uniforms in sports that you've ever seen?

Speaker 6 (10:34):
Man, what was the Steelers throwbacks from back? It was
discussed those were brutal chicagos.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Wasn't a whole lot better?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
No, you you can make that kind of work. The
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they always come to mind the creamsicles.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
They want to go Yeah, they want to go back
to that.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
You know, they went back to them with what was
the quarterback go to? Can say, Josh Freeman, Josh even.
They went back then, and so what happened to the franchise?
They went back away from that.

Speaker 8 (11:03):
You can hate on the Colors, but that logo is
one of the best logos of all time.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Bruce.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Yeah, that's one of the best logos ever raised.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Who is to have some, is it?

Speaker 2 (11:12):
No, it's not the It's tough to do something with
brown and gold, and that's my alma mater from high school.
It's tough to make that look good. Yeah, you have
to say it is doo Cleveland and and now and
now we're back to talking about Cleveland. Yeah, we're talking
about all the all the things you probably shouldn't be
What if I gave you the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Which one?

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Which?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Which one? They've had a lot right, bron Ara jersey
wasn't that bade. Don't get offended. Don't get offended because
Lebron played there. I know you love him, I know
you licked the boots. I'm just saying, it's not a
bias answer. The color code or the color combo of
yellow and burgundy.

Speaker 6 (11:53):
It's not the best.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's it's not great.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
It's not the best. It depends on which are.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
And even when Bingo Smith played way back in the day,
they had the Heckers on the side. You guys, you're
too young for that.

Speaker 6 (12:03):
That was awful.

Speaker 8 (12:04):
But I remember the black calves jerseys, like the black
with the actual basketball and net on them and all that.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
That wasn't that bad.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I think that's an alternate jersey, though, was it?

Speaker 3 (12:12):
You think that's an alternate I didn't like the most
the Pistons jerseys, the till ones when it first came out.

Speaker 6 (12:18):
I thought they were retrimming. We can't stand them because
they lost in them.

Speaker 8 (12:24):
If they were a winning during the Till era, they
that jersey astely.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
I disagree they were bad jerseys because they were bad jerseys,
and now they've come back in the reimagined space them
jerseys that they bought back out four years ago. That
made the same jerseys that they put out with that
ugly mess material and that super till coloring.

Speaker 7 (12:43):
It was way different.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
What happens is they brought out the new vintage jersey
and they revamped it in a twenty twenty three I
think they came out in a twenty twenty three image.
Those uniforms were terrible.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
Man, Yes, trying to squeeze.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
I'll use a kool Aid word here, breach.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Not only are you giving me a bad basketball product,
you also.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
But there ain't around and is correlated with a bad
basketball dude.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Nothing.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
It has nothing to do with how good the team is.
When the Tigers are bad, they still look good in
the old English d Maryland. Maryland's another one. Maryland's ugly.
If they're good, it doesn't matter. Okay, okay. The reason
it's bad is because you had one of the best
color combos in all of sports, the Pistons, Red, white,

(13:37):
and blue. You can see through the marketing ploy, can't you.
If you can't, I'm really.

Speaker 6 (13:41):
Just tell that to the Millan era Lions jerseys.

Speaker 8 (13:45):
The only reason we thought those black jerseys were ugly
is because of the losing.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
It wasn't the worst jersey in the world.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Because they were ugly. They they weren't even close to
what they're Okay, there's nothing his Alma mine. It's right
in front him, right in front of him. They don't
change anything. I was you know why because it works,
because it works and it's classy and it's.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
No.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
It couldn't out what.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Their original colors were. The original colors were fine. There's
no it's strictly to sell.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
But I think I know where you're going with this.
I think I know where you're going with this. I
disagree with something I agree with Casey said. On the
one side, the black Jersey Lions. Like when I was
they were those and I was playing, I thought they
were dope, like I thought they were black. I thought
they were dope, but we thought they were all sixteen.
I agree exactly, So I feel you on that one.
I still think the two ones were ugly. To your point, though,
Michigan State and all that stuff that they were doing

(14:35):
in two thousand and insert whatever year. It's so many
ugly jerseys, so many ugly combinations, like stop it because
their traditional uniform are fine. I like Michigan State's traditional uniforms.
I think they're a stable all that crazy to knee?
How did you get the knee?

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Just because I have agreed elemented to you. You're not oregent.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
This this logo right here for me, Michigan State.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
It's one of the best mask as arguably the best
mask in.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
College yes, but it's also it's also it really is
one of the best looking helmets in college football. There's
no need to mess with it. If something is really good.
Red Wings don't mess with their logan.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
There's a reason for that iconic. That's different English iconic.
The Piston's logo is bland. The old school logo. You
can't argue with's iconic, but it's very very bland.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
How is it a lot of people who ran.

Speaker 8 (15:30):
The Pistons are the All Star Game from nineteen ninety.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Wait a minute, you just you know you did. You
just used logos and colors and argument.

Speaker 6 (15:42):
It's totally different.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
English team is one thing, but they're still blue and white.
The Red Wings have two colors. There's only two teams
in the National Hockey League who have two colors. The
Red Wings in the Major Legague Okay, so the red
wings are red and white.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
That's their colors.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Why do you think what's wrong with the Pistons started
with red, white and blue long time ago, wore it.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
What do you mean?

Speaker 8 (16:04):
It is like horse logo is a better f N
logo and we would appreciate it more if they won
during that time.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
I'm promising appreciate it more.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Look, I like the classic logo.

Speaker 9 (16:15):
I feel like the Bad Boys they made that something
and going to work Piston is one of those same,
not necessarily quite the same logo, but something similar. I
did though, I did love to till Jerseys, but it
was because it was attached to the hype of Grand Hill.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
What is what got hurt to take? But now I
see the representation that cad is talking about, because like
when you think of that time period, grand Hill gets hurt,
Grand Hill gets.

Speaker 6 (16:41):
Traded, scored fifty and then gets traded.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
That's my guy.

Speaker 8 (16:48):
And everybody back then was doing the cartoon logos. We
rave about the Togo, you rave about it.

Speaker 6 (16:54):
It's cartoon.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
I don't want my professional sports franchise to be cartoon esque.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
But that was that's the difference.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
Detroit Viper's logo was was cartoons. But that's what that's
a fire alone.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
I understand that. I HL the International Hockey League with
the National Basketball so I want to make.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Okay, we go, here we go. I agree with you.
You're like, all right, well that was the phase Toronto
Toronto Raptors. You saw how that popped off. That was
their first jersey.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
Okay right now?

Speaker 3 (17:25):
So with Toronto, like that's what you knew them, A boy,
So when I think of Toronto, I don't think of
anything that's happened. All I think about is those vice
armor with his arm in the run. That was their first.
The Pistons. The Pistons went from you can call you
can call it bland, but let me out incorporate both.
They went from a bland iconic feel and then plus
what they had done in the eighties nineties getting to

(17:47):
there to now you create this cartoon goofy stuff. Not
only that, I think it was goofy. You took away
a team that had an identity and then they lost
their identity along the way with these goofy uniforms. So
I could see both sides.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Plus the till was always just asociated with teams like Charlotte, okay,
and where whereas Blue is associated with the Pistons because
it is iconic, you want to use Toronto as an example,
they too had a dinosaur. I want you to think
about that for started. That's where I was going with
the next one. That was a I couldn't stand all like, yeah,

(18:23):
but you're also a Saturday Morning cartoon kind of guy.

Speaker 10 (18:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
I mean I'm waiting for Barney Rubble to hit it
over the lions.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
On the side of the lion, give me some X
man or something like that. Yeah, all right, we'll do that,
said Barney flint.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Bright.

Speaker 9 (18:44):
But they got them on the Fruity Pebbles box and
my kids are like, what is this?

Speaker 7 (18:47):
We love to see? What is it?

Speaker 9 (18:48):
We put them on a cartoon. They can't look away
now they hated it. Fand Flintstone and one more thing
to chat. They've been trying to guess what you do
for a living, brailing with your glasses.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
So this fit. First of all, this fit, there's only
one thing that I do with this fit on, like,
there's only one thing I do exactly what Brown did.
That is the only except go black shade.

Speaker 9 (19:12):
Now moving that way, listen, whye t people, he says, Braylan,
where is your lab coat?

Speaker 7 (19:21):
Another one said, doctor, clapping cheeks. What a name?

Speaker 3 (19:24):
He says, doctor, I love shout out Friday. For sure Friday.

Speaker 9 (19:31):
It looks like a life brion that doesn't know where
any of the books are.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
He doesn't he doesn't have the chain connected to it.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
First of all, if we've got the mystery section to
be over here and the crime section to be over here,
look at this history section will be over here. If
you want to break the history section nowt you're talking
about American history, we have European history over here. And
also we can go over here to the law. Now
if you want to study off section up here, go
up those steps. Come on, I had a laborate card.

(20:05):
Wait how many people in this chat actually had a
laborating card.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
At one point I got don't forget the comics section
that's right over there with KG.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
They are the spinning the spelling cylinder. Let's go terrible
Bay the way. I just had to look again. Yeah,
it's pretty bad he's got.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
The more the more KG looks at it, the more
KG looks at it, the more you realize, all.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
When Michigan went to Adidas in the end of the discussion, yes, yes,
Michigan went to Adidas everything. Yes, I understood why. I
was one of those people that understood why. God, Yes,
they got a ton of money, a blank ton of
money because Adidas on the soccer league they got bit
out by rebound. They had all this extra cash, so
they went after Michigan, Tennessee and a couple other places.
I got that part. Still, don't mean the uniforms good.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
They were all horrible, disgusting. Well, yes, one d percent.
And I was calling basketball games during that stretch and
when guys are trying to you know, jump stop into
a pass and they go through their shoes. That's a problem.
So we all know, we all know why it's done. Okay, money,

(26:11):
It's really too bad that that is at the root
of everything. And I suppose they're no different than most
everyday person. Okay, who needs the money, goes to the
money there before the grace of God go. However, you
do have to investigate things a little bit deeper than
I think they did when it comes to, you know,
the the jerseys and the quality of what you were

(26:34):
talking about. It was an embarrassment, very.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Similar to kind of last year with the fanatics and
MLB and how the jerseys were falling apart last year. Yeah,
the NBA had that issue to remember that fanatics ruins everything.
Fanatic excuse me.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
So speaking of speaking of baseball, I hope people tonight.
I know Treks School is on the mound for Detroit
and it's going to be uh. People are going to
be a little bit on their hands, sitting on their
hands a little bit because they feel that there is
a need to get a win there and they're gonna
go up against Kyle Hendricks who actually was really good

(27:12):
in seven and two thirds innings against Detroit earlier this year,
and school has been fantastic because we all know, but
I hope if you get a chance, just look at
the box score of one other game for me, and
that is the Blue Jays playing in Los Angeles against
the Dodgers. And here's the reason why Max Scherzer is

(27:33):
going to throw against Clayton Kershaw.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Ooh ago.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
There's two Hall of famers and it is just the
second time in their history. Well they will face one another. Wow,
which I think is pretty interesting too, considering Schurzers had
time in the National League. Suretzer's two and one, he's
got a four e R. Kershaw's five and two, he's
got a three e RA. The first time they ever

(27:58):
matched up against one another was September seventh of two
thousand and eight. Okay, Max Schurzer was twenty four years
old and a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Twenty four
years old. You know how many career wins he had? None?

Speaker 4 (28:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Okay, Clayton Kershaw was twenty years old on that date.
You know how many career wins he had? Three? Three?
So that gives you a little bit of a sense
of you know, what we're witnessing, or what we have
a chance to witness tonight. They may pitch against each
other again, because Toronto and La could meet in the

(28:36):
World Series. They're two really good baseball teams. I just
was hoping if you get a chance at some point,
check out the box score see how each guy did,
because I remember is one time watching l Way throw
against Montana. Okay, and those two guys, I'm like, man,
an opportunity to watch to the greatest of all time

(28:57):
play against one another is pretty awesome.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
What wasn't There's something surrounding the circumstances of a game,
something like both of them were like fill ins.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
That's correct, Ah, well done, they were fill ins. You
know who was supposed to pitch Randy Johnson for Arizona.
He was forty four with two hundred and ninety four
wins at the time. The Dodgers were supposed to start
Greg Maddox. There we go, who was the legendary matchup,
who was forty two at the time and had three

(29:28):
hundred and fifty four career wins.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Wow, I try, I try to do.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
It's good, man, it's really good. It's the glasses.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
Library.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
It could be the glass it wouldn't be the glass section.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Loud too loud, too lou.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
We were talking just before the break about a little
bit of a joke. Has the w NBA become a
joke because of the sex toys that have been thrown
on the court, not once, not twice, but three times.
More and more players are being asked about it, More
and more coaches are being asked about it. People are
following them on social media for it. Sophie Cunningham, who

(30:07):
plays for the Indiana Fever, had a really funny response
and she's just kind of, you know, let it go
a little bit, but this is what's happening. It's happening
on a pretty regular basis for the NBA. For the
WNBA should say, it's more than just that. It really
is a sign I suppose a little bit of disrespect,
but people find it funny.

Speaker 6 (30:26):
It is funny.

Speaker 8 (30:27):
I mean, just at a base level, it's funny, but
I also think it's a tad disrespectful to the women.
They shouldn't have to deal with this, I mean, and
I understand they do bring a lot of things on themselves,
so I really do understand both sides of the aisle,
But come on, man, like, this is what we're doing,
like giant deal tos smuggled into games and thrown during
the game, Like.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Come on, I don't think it's funny at all realistically,
if I'm just looking for them, just like, yes, it's
funny as manhaha, some mighty throw a deal doing the
court blah blah. But if we're being honest, I don't
think it's funny at all. You're talking about a league
that came into this is ninety ninety five, ninety six
and has been struggling to get viewers, has been struggling
to get into the green. In fact, they've never been
in the green, you know, and now they've gotten better,

(31:09):
you know, a couple generations more players, you're getting better.
You see the rise the boom Maya more breed, Brittany
Breonna Stewart, players like that take the game to the
next level. Then you get the players essentially that get
it to the next level, which is Kaitlyn Clark, you know,
based off her viewership is going on, based off Angel Reich,
the rivalry that they have all the things Juju Watkins

(31:31):
is Julus Smith, excuse me. Juju Watkins coming in next season,
she's gonna be elected. She will probably be the best
basketball player in the WNBA in my opinion, in year one.
But the other side is changed into the women have
become even more classes, even more caddy. The league itself
doesn't understand how to treat the women. There's no discipline.
It looks like the league in two thousand. For the NBA,

(31:53):
it's just it's out of control. It is chaotic. If
I was taking mind, I wouldn't want to take my
daughter to a WNBA game right now.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
I wouldn't want to bring because you said what because.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Because of this environment, Like the environment doesn't feel like
not safe. I'm not going that route. But it just
doesn't feel conducive to a good time, doesn't feel conducive
to respect. It doesn't feel conducive to let me tell
you about this player, and let me tell you about
this league. Meanwhile, she's gonna ask me, what is that
green thing on the floor? Why are they throwing that?
Why are they saying such words? Why are they heckling
like that? They throw snowballs and things like that in

(32:25):
the NFL and NBA, but there's more respect to cross
a certain line, and I think right now there's no
respect for the w NBA, whether the players don't respect
the players, whether the owners don't respect the players, whether
the fans don't and whether the players don't.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Respect because I think they've kind of brought it. Not
that I'm not condoning this by any stretch, but they've
brought it on themselves. I agree, okay completely, and don't
I don't want to get into the final financial aspect.
Twenty nine years in the league, every year, or twenty
nine years in existence, every year they have lost money.
This year they're expected to bring in a billion dollars.
Believe it or not, they're still gonna lose money. Oh yeah,

(33:01):
you know why they're gonna lose money because everything has
gone up in terms of privatization of flights, players' salaries
to a certain extent. Even though you've got people like
Diana Tarassi complaining left and right, people don't want to
hear that stuff. Okay, they just don't. It's no dissimilar
to when the NBA had a lackout in Patrick Ewing,
who's making millions and millions of dollars, the saying I

(33:22):
still have to feed my family too. The people you're
talking to don't want to hear that crap, plain and simple.
As far as taking your kids, I agree, you don't
want to have to answer that question to your daughter.
On the other hand, you take kids to a football
game and fights break out constantly. If you took if
I took my kids to a football game at the

(33:43):
Pontiac Silverdome, they're gonna hear all kinds of language that
they never heard from me or in my house. They're
gonna see things that they've never seen before. Okay, So,
but it's a part of the game, right, No, No,
it's not part of the game.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
In the stands, Yeah, it's a part of It's a
part of football and has been a part of football
since nineteen thirty seven.

Speaker 6 (34:04):
Nothing is like in that regard.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Nothing has changed from nineteen thirty seven to twenty twenty
five as it relates to the fan crowd, football and
what it is experienced.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Considering what the w NBA is made of, you could
say the toys being thrown on the floor are part
of their league too.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
Well, it's a lot of Well, no, if you want
to go there, if you want to expect whatever, Man,
it's too much.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
I mean, that's we're just talking about what the league
is all about.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Apparently you can throw that in the NFL field too.

Speaker 6 (34:33):
Yeah, let's just start.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
But we dislike, okay, I mean that's that's that's the
possibility for everything we dislike, just throw it up.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
True.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Like what I'm saying, Yeah, come on, are you seriously
gonna take that far?

Speaker 6 (34:46):
I'm not trying.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah you are, because you just said it.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
But what Okay, at a base level, we can all
agree this.

Speaker 8 (34:51):
It's a tad disrespectful. How I wunba is supposed to be.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
I did this.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
I didn't condone it. I didn't say it wasn't disrespectful.
I'm saying we're objecting kids to this. Yeah, I'm saying
we've subjected kids to a lot of things in our society,
especially today, social media wise, television wise, cartoons wise, books wise,
all those things subjected works.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Cuss words and fighting. It is a part of being human. Yes,
cust wards and fighting is a part of being human.
You don't have to overly explain to a four year old.
Two grown men fighting in the stands a two grown
men cursing because one cheers for the Philip Eagles. Other
cheers for Dallas Cowboys. You gotta overly explain that he look,
he's a Cowboys fan, he's Eagles fan. Deal with go Eagles,
and you don't have to explain that dildo's getting thrown.

Speaker 6 (35:35):
What's next tampons? Yeah, it's gonna get with change.

Speaker 7 (35:40):
Stop giving.

Speaker 6 (35:41):
W n b A is in a position to wear.

Speaker 8 (35:43):
It's a contribute question to a good poll question, but
position to where if they don't lean into it, it's
gonna get worse.

Speaker 6 (35:51):
Like what do you do if you're the w n
B A.

Speaker 8 (35:53):
You can't go against it because people are just gonna
keep doing it even.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
More now shout out to you realize it's only happened
three times, three times, three times too many.

Speaker 6 (36:02):
They've spoken out against it. It's gonna get worse.

Speaker 7 (36:04):
Hey, I was gonna say, shout out, we got a
super chat here.

Speaker 9 (36:07):
This is fun. I believe it might be burned. I
see sideline though he says it's the NBA. Are they
gonna make a Malice at the Palace type documentary?

Speaker 3 (36:15):
It?

Speaker 7 (36:15):
Because peace about this?

Speaker 3 (36:21):
How long?

Speaker 2 (36:21):
For?

Speaker 3 (36:21):
How long before?

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Deal?

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Don't poke somebody eye out?

Speaker 6 (36:24):
It's somebody's gonna get actually struck.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
I didn't mean that in that type of says. I'm
being honest though, Like.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
No, it's real, that's a drop.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Then what happens we got to that's a drop. You
don't have to worry about it because you got glasses
and somebody. Yeah, it just seems like relling it back in.

(36:54):
It just seems like the w n b A is
getting out of hand. I feel like at one point
I respected this league. I watched this league. I have
friends playing this league. Swing Cash shout out to Detroit
Shot was a very good friend of mine, Candas Parker.
At one point, like just watching where the league has come,
the respect for the game and watching the grind, watching
women had to not get in, not get paid a
lot because they don't bring in money, but they have

(37:15):
to go overseas in the off season and continuously work
a lot of respect to get from that to now
where they are now is just is no respect, it
seems how did they get it back?

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Yeah, it's a great question. I don't know. They've They've
let it get out of control themselves with a lack
of respect, I think, and that sure doesn't help their
cause by any stretch.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Watch semi pro everybody love.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Everybody, amen to that. That would be a good thing
you put along the sidelines or the or the baselines.

a chat member.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Why not not?

Speaker 7 (43:55):
Super Chest says, why does the goat look like Kurt
Rampis go blue?

Speaker 3 (44:05):
Okay, well played, well play, I tell you what though,
Like if I got filed like he did, that would
have been my last game in the NBA because I
would have got I would have got arrested. I would
have got arrest because I wouldn't played the rest. I
would win the locker room. I had a Gilbert Reena situation,
but I would have followed through, Ain't no way, hell
you're gonna close. Ain't no way hell like he got
closed line, like beyond disrespect he.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Got he got up right away to go attack, and
then people intervened. So yeah, I mean, that's that was cool.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
I'm just taking myself to the locker room. You know,
I'm gonna kicking myself off the game. I got something
in that bag. I'll be right back.

Speaker 7 (44:42):
I'm leaving here for something. And now comes the green peak.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Right, that's what That's not what he's referring to.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
Say it was the fourth one.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Then you know, like that's that's not what he was
referring to. But he is worried about children at games.
And then he says, I'm gonna go b back.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Hey, look, you know, let me ask you question.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Let me ask you a quick question regarding the NFL.
I mean, the sport that isn't near and dear to
your heart. And we're going to talk about the Lions
and their preseason second game tonight. What you're looking for,
we got Braylan's breakdown, which I can't wait to get
to either that's going to be really fun. But Cam
Hayward is not necessarily practicing full bore for the Steelers,

(45:26):
and that's because he wants a new contract extension. How
do you feel about that?

Speaker 3 (45:34):
In what regard Cam Hayward is just in general?

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Just in general? I mean, remember last September, it hasn't
even been a year. He agreed to a three year
extension with forty five million dollars his contract this year
fourteen point seventy five. In March, he was able to
cash a thirteen and a half million dollar check. So

(45:57):
the most of the money that he's made already made.
He made it in March. Okay, he negotiated an extension.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
I think he's a great player.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Don't get me wrong. I love him. I'd love to
have on my defensive line. But these antics is probably unfair.
This has been a pretty common theme in your league
for a while in this offseason. This one is borderline
bogus considering what he did last September.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
This is true at the end of the day, this
is where we're at. Players are making tremendous amount of money.
I mean, just look at the Pittsburgh Stillers. DK Metcalf
comes over he gets thirty five million dollars. Whether he's
worth it or not. This brother's making thirty five million dollars.
He's never played a snut for the Pittsburgh Stillers. He's
never bled for the Stillers. He's never put it all
on the line for the Stillers. He's never been the
guy when the other offensive was hurt. You know, Cam

(46:46):
Haywen was looking from the point I have been holding
this team down, and I get it. He got paid,
got paid last year. He cast a big check this
past season. So what it's fourteen man dollars. He's looking
at what he's done for that franchise that has done
nothing except be good on defense for the last ten years.
I'm a part of that, Like, why not take care

(47:06):
of me? Because when it's over, you can't have this
conversation when you hanging the cleats up.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
Did they not take care of him?

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Will take care of me? I don't. I'm not saying.
I'm not saying this is what I would do. I'm
telling you this is where the money is. They have
a lot of money. They don't play a lot of players.
The Stillers are very true to their defensive players, defensive
star warts or will get paid in Pittsburgh. We understand that.
Why not, why not keep asking for money?

Speaker 2 (47:31):
But yeah, asking for it is one thing. But when
you've already signed the extension, when you asked for it
last September, they were there and they said, sure, this
is what you want. Yeah, youth, this is what you
think you're worth. Okay, knowing that the market constantly changes.
I don't know if I don't know what dk Metcalf
not playing for Pittsburgh has to.

Speaker 4 (47:48):
Do with it.

Speaker 6 (47:49):
He's got a proven track record.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
This is not a cold Keith situation with the Tigers,
if you will, But I think it's really strange that
a guy was able, like I try to put myself
in both both shoes. I get what we're Kim Heyward
may be coming from, But this is what you asked
for to last year, just last seme It's not even
a year ago, and now you want to redo it.

Speaker 6 (48:12):
Then what did you sign the extension for.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
I don't get that.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
Sign up for money at the time and sign like
people sign with the intent. It doesn't matter what I
signed today because I can come back in the year,
I can come back in nine months. I can figure
this out. Yeah, I'll sign it now. It sounds good. Sure,
we'll figure it out because I'll have something that comes up.
I think Cam Hayward is a guy that is looking
at his career is near the end. It's near the end,
and now let me recoup everything that I did until

(48:38):
your point. He got paid, They took care of him.
But maybe he feels like he deserves more. Maybe he
feel like he wants more, and he looks at what
this Stiller team is. Excuse me, Mike Tomlin, the whole
nine yard. Is he gonna stay? Is he gonna get fired?
Is this the last hurrah Aaron Rodgers? Are they gonna
blow the team up? This is like his last time
to ensure some capital for the future. Realistic and I

(48:58):
think this is maybe the move. What's going on in
Pittsburgh though, Yeah, because Cam Hayward's never done anything like this.
He's not been a guy that you hear anything about.
The only thing I ever heard about Cam Hayward that
didn't have to do with him getting to the quarterback
is what you said about Aaron Rodgers. And guess what
that was thirteen years into his career. So for him
to sit out, for him to be a guy who's

(49:18):
a captain, who's a leader, who's a proven ve great.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
In the community, one great, just fantastic, and what he
does with kids fantastic.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
For him to be like this, that contract somewhere along
the lines, it may not be what we perceive it
to do. There may be some some some fine print
that maybe him or his agent didn't necessarily look all
the way through.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
You're talking about the forty five million dollar extension that
he signed on September. Yes, if that were the case,
why would you sign it in the first place.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
I can't speak for that man. I absolutely do not know.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Do you think the NFL has a problem with this
type of image with players?

Speaker 5 (49:56):
T J.

Speaker 6 (49:57):
Watt did it for Pittsburgh, but has done it to himselves.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
I don't think the players respect the league and inspect
the shield like we did. I think each era is
less respect less, respect less, respect less respect. And then
when you get when you have owners, when you have
commissioners colluding to not allow certain players to get paid,
to not allow certain players in the league, to make

(50:22):
sure certain players get franchised, and they don't receive deals
from other people like no, no, no, no, no. You
know that happened Michael Parsons. It's happening to him. It
happened to Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson couldn't sign with anybody
else because the hit was out. No, no, no, no,
don't nobody off from a deal. He will sign with.
He will sign with Baltimore because they're trying to get
away from how much guaranteed money they're playing. Playing players

(50:45):
part of the thing.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Not that, by the way, not the first league to
do it. No, no, no, no, I mean Major League Baseball.
Lance Parrish experienced that firsthand with the Tigers and going
to Philadelphia first hand. It happened to him right away.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
But go ahead, players got say that when you're doing that,
you know, when you got a guy like Michael Parsons
and you know what's going on. I don't think it's
Jerry versus Michael like everybody else thinks it's Jerry versus Michaeh.
I think this is Jerry with the other thirty one
and the one that speaks for them. I think this
is them telling them what they're not gonna pay Michael
Parsons because tj why got too much bread in their mind.

(51:19):
Trey Henderson will get too much bread in their mind,
they don't wanting.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
He hasn't got it. Yeah, well will Gary get too
much bread in their mind?

Speaker 3 (51:28):
In their mind yes, because you know what happens. Guess
who's getting paid next year? Eighteen hundredson. Every year there's
going to be somebody in line to break the bank.
And Michael parsons what he wants, technically what he deserves. Yes,
he will break the bank in a different type of way.
And the NFL and the Commission, they are not trying
to pay eight hundreds and fifty million dollars to rust

(51:48):
the past.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
That's that's really informative because I never looked at it
that way. And the reason I didn't look at it
that way is because we see guys setting new records
on a regular basis, and no one stepped in. No
one stepped in with a'mon Ross saying brown. No one
stepped in with Jamar Chase, No one stepped in with
Joe Burrow, no one stepped in with Josh Josh Allen.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
They slept in certain ways, not now like this is
their this is their refiguring process. When I got drafted
longer contracts, more money, like my signing bones was seventeen
point five million dollars. My contract seven years, forty nine
million dollars. I mean, now we know it's foods go
in the NFL, but that's what I signed for seventeen
point five I had never played it down in the NFL,

(52:29):
and they were like, whoaoa, we're starting to pay these
players too much money. Now, what do you do? You
front load the contracts three year contracts, four year contracts,
five year contracts with an option in the fourth year,
so owners can do what Yeah, we're saying, we're gonna
give you this cut trade get rid of. So that's
how they counteracted. It's a good rookie deal. So I

(52:51):
think now they're trying to figure out how to do
it as it relates.

Speaker 13 (52:54):
To all that.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
If you looked at it from a player's perspective, could
you not say something similar that they're signing their deals,
they're getting their money up front. Case in point Cam Hayward,
and then they'll say, I want to renegotiate, I want
to hold out. I'm gonna do these things, much like
the owners. Why is one side any worse than the other?

Speaker 3 (53:16):
On the other side still has to go out there
improve it. Yeah, that's the players, Like you pay him,
he's still gotta go out there improve it. And every
single day he goes out there, he's gonna have us,
he's gonna have fans, he's gonna have whoever talk about
what he's not doing, what he should be doing, or
what he should what he is doing. That's not that
way with the owners. If you give you a crap deal, Nobody,

(53:38):
if you get a crap deal, nobody's like, oh, the
owner should pay them more money.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
But they can take those bullets because it's the only
recourse would be people telling them to sell the team.
And they're not gonna sell the team anyway, So what
difference does it make. But you can cut a player
or people can rip on a player and the regular basis, And.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
That's why, and that's why side with the players outside
of Kenny Galladay and.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Christian Kirk, Right, yeah, you don't some other players, I
mean some other players. There's been there's been a lot
of guys who've been signing for buku dollars because okay, yeah,
I mean that's that's a lot of money for this stuff.
So I don't I'm having a hard time grasping that.
Roger Goodell and the owners are colluding with it. But

(54:20):
you've been inside, so I would tend to, you know, lendy,
bend to your expertise. It's just there's a lot of
examples that would tell me otherwise.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
We have two examples of how they colluded. Now as
we know for a fact, they commuted colluded with Lamar Jackson.
That is a known fact. We know they colluded to
keep you know who out of the league. I don't
want to open up that can of worms, and I'm
not interested in twenty twenty five talking about you know,
but you know who I'm talking about. It included to
keep him out of the league. They colluded to keep
Lamar Jackson's but in Baltimore and so that he didn't

(54:50):
have Because think about this, is Lamar Jackson's the most exciting,
maybe the most expensive player when he was about to
come out, I mean not come out, when he was
about to come up to in terms of what his
contract was going to be. If you're a name a
team that needs a quarterback, that needs a new face,
that needs some new electricity, if you bring Lamar Jackson
at that time to the Atlanta Falcons, yeah, you know

(55:10):
what that would have did to the community. They could
have paid Lamar Jackson three hundred.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Why didn't they do that to to Patrick Mahomes? Why
didn't they do it to Josh Allen?

Speaker 3 (55:18):
They did. Patrick Mahomes took a favorable deal to for
any ary and excuse me, he took a favorable deal
with the Kansas City Chief. Patrick don't make what he's worth.
He signed a deal for He signed a deal for
ten years, five hundred, many years ago.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
I don't disagree with that, But then I guess my
question would be on a ten year deal for fifty
So why would why would Patrick Mahomes do?

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Well?

Speaker 2 (55:40):
They do that all the time.

Speaker 6 (55:41):
Matthew Stafford did that twice here in detri.

Speaker 8 (55:44):
The difference with somebody like Patrick Mahomes, he's probably getting
a share of the team once this ship is done.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Yeah, yeah, but I was a bad thing. No, I
didn't say everybody was. I'm just saying I'm I'm looking
for besides the Lamar Jackson. It's fair, it's a really
good insight. I'm looking for the other ones where we're
seeing the collusion. Because I because people fans right.

Speaker 8 (56:07):
Now they don't see it yet, But you're not gonna
see it when these are billion dollar owners.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
You always I'm talking about the players. I'm talking about
the players contracts. When Jamar Chase is breaking I'm on
Rod Saint Brown's record, who broke another wide receivers record,
and t J. Watt is breaking Miles Garrett's record, who
broke Max Crosby's record, and they broke him in a
three week time. Tell me where the collusion is.

Speaker 6 (56:30):
Well, you can't.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
Collude with those three because those three aren't gonna are
They're very different. Masx Crosby is the only thing the
Las Vegas Raiders have. They were going to pay him regardless,
it doesn't matter whatever Roger Goodell says, same thing will
get Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett is deserving of the money
he got because he's better than those other two. And
he's in Cleveland. See, only thing they have in Cleveland
is Miles Garrett. So they can't collude to keep him

(56:52):
away and keep him getting paid with somewhere else, I'm
telling you, or also, same thing, Why Miles Garrett didn't
go anywhere else, Why Masx Frosby didn't go anywhere else?

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Forty million dollars, No, it's.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
Not forty million dollars. It's because that's all that they
were gonna pay. That money would be more, is what
I'm saying. The money would be more if it was
allowed to get to that point.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
So what does that tell you about the Aiden Hutchinson situation.
He'll get this columing he's fifty fifty in some change, okay,
because I mean we're talking about colluding. If it's colluding
then and you said certain guys were't gonna make fifty
million dollars, Why in the world would Aiden Hutchinson make
fifty million dollars, especially since he is not the identity

(57:35):
to the Lions like Miles Garrett's identity to Cleveland. Knowing
that they've already spent money on Kirby Joseph, They've already
spent money on Amon ros Saint Brown and Jared goffin
Penny School.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
Eight Hunchreson is a staple in the state. Realistically, I
don't know if I'm fully equipped to have this conversation now.
I was fully equipped to make the Lamar Jackson point, yeah,
because I know it to be facts, little truth getting
even past it. I would have to do more research
to find that out. But he's a staple in this state.
He went to the Bayan Chiu, he went to Michigan,
and he's helped revent his Detroit Lions team and the
place they've never been before. So you look at it

(58:06):
that way, it's like, how can I let this guy
get to another team, get to another state, get to
another city. If he's playing at the level that you expect.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
Yeah, if he's playing, I mean, that's that's a big deal.
If I'm excited about your your your Brailean's breakdown that
that's coming up. Uh, we learned so much from and
and folks. It's not just wide receivers, by the way
I wanted to it's Brailean is going to break down
a lot of other positions too, and I'm really excited
for it. But today we are going to take a

(58:35):
look at a couple more wide receivers and some of
the things that he looks for as he watches them
run their routes, catch their passes, do what they're supposed
to do. That's coming up here on the Brailen Edwards
Show and Braylan's breakdown. But first, in order for you
to not break down, you got to get in the
gym and you got to look good like he does,
and that's why he's learn the Planet Fitness.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
That was a smooth transition. Absolutely. You don't want the
buy any breakdown. You're not taking care of yourself. The
body will fail you. It failed me a couple of
years ago. That's why I had to get my button

First of all, what the hell is the depth chart?

Speaker 6 (01:05:55):
We don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
That's what we need to start with.

Speaker 6 (01:05:57):
What I know, Hinda, hookers start in the first half.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
That's a henigs starting in the first half. At the
end of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
That'll last how long?

Speaker 6 (01:06:07):
Maybe maybe at the end of the day.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
I want to see some professionalism and I want to
see something that resembles the Detroit Lions that I've grown
to love, the Detroit Lions I've grown to watch. Like
last game was very sloppy, and I told you his
last game, so I will forgive it, but that I
didn't not all the way pay attention to it. I'm watching.
I want to see clean football. I don't care who's
in there. I want to see clean decision making from
the quarterback. I want to see clean catches from the

(01:06:32):
wide receivers. I want to see the offensive line block
the way they're supposed to. I want to see on
the defensive side of the ball, I want to see tackle,
I want to see wrap up. I want to see
good discipline football. Dan Campbell's proven itself over the first
four years of his tenure as a good coach. That's
becoming an even better coach. That's preached a certain thing
Aaron Glenn started, Ben Johnson started, now falls on Johnny

(01:06:55):
Moe and now falls on Kelvin Shepard, the same thing.
The headman never changes. I don't want to see sloppy football.
Last Thursday was just beyond sloppy, and always it looked
like that was their first day impact. In my estimation,
it's not about a particular player that I want to see.
I want to see a team that looks like they practiced,

(01:07:15):
that looks like they pay attention, that looks like the
guys that I come to love.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
You told me, though, that last week they weren't game
planning for that. They were, so we shouldn't look too much.
You're talking about the penalties, getting out of the huddle,
getting the right personnel on the field. It's the little
things we don't always recognize that you do.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
Yeah, like that looked bad. I didn't care that they
lost thirty five or thirty four to seven. It is
what it is. I've been blown out in the preseason before.
It didn't mount to a hill of beans. But how
they looked, how it felt. It just looked disorganized. They
looked in disarray. Players were looking at players trying to
figure things out. Coaches just on the sideline. So I

(01:07:55):
just wanted to look more professional. This is the professional shoot,
this is the NFL, this is pro football. I wanted
to look like pro football, naed Dan Campbell. Look, you've
been practiced, you've been preaching a thing for the last
four years, and how you operate, and we see that
on the field and we see that through your players.
I just wanted to look like that. They don't even
have to win.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
Yeah, I don't care.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
I don't care about that. I just want it to
look like they're practicing. I wanted to look like they're
getting better.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Yeah, it's it's very strange for the NFL. As much
as we love that it's back, Yeah, I don't want
to rush ahead of it and quickly get to the
regular season, because that's how everybody feels there's just there's
a different vibe when the NFL is in season. I believe,
at least in Detroit, I think there is. But I
do wonder, you know what the message the NFL sends

(01:08:42):
when we've seen some awful, awful football being the first
and second now for some second weeks of preseason. Cincinnati's
offense look where the good last night, their defense.

Speaker 6 (01:08:58):
Looked really bad. Their starters did play.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
What would be I asked you that that's how they
look at the regular seas.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
That's completely true. I asked you this last week, so
I'll ask it to you again this week. Why wouldn't
Dan Campbell have his starters play in a game like.

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
This because last year? I mean, I guess it started
before last season. But I don't think they value preseason
like we used to. I think that there're seventeen games.
I think that they feel like they're a good enough team. Well,
they'll figure it out. In the first four games of
the season. They playing to go three and one. That's
kind of what happened last year. Look, we'll figure it out.
I got you. Well, we'll figure it out. And that's
what they did last year. They didn't play in the

(01:09:35):
preseason really and they struggled that Rams game and you
can see it. They won the Rams game in the end,
they lose to the Bucks, but then they start to
figure it out and the rest is history. I think
when you have success like that, like why go against it?
Last year they were fifteen and two. Year before that,
they were twelve and five, you know, and they didn't
play in the preseason. So I think that's where he
wants to go. And also last year probably scared the

(01:09:57):
hell out of everybody in Detroit in terms of the injuries,
Like they want to make it to the season, they
want to make it through the season.

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
And you understand that, I do.

Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
Do you get twenty six injuries and to be honest,
let's let's cut the bs. Those twenty six injuries cost you,
which he has to go to the super Bowl if
we want to be honest about it, like now that
the seasons, Oh we're being honest, those twenty six cost
you the super Bowl. Like realistically, I'd be spooked. So
I understand that player.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
So what's the point of playing this many preseason games?
Then I've been a guy? Get me wrong, Well, I've
been I've been a guy who's always said, you know this,
I hate the thought of playing eighteen games. I love
it from my summer standpoint of course, but it's not
about me. It's it should be about the players, and
I think it's it's coming, absolutely, And then they're going
to peel back to two preseason games. Four was too many.

Speaker 6 (01:10:43):
Back in the day they had six. For crying out loud,
I want to cry that I missed that. Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
So what's the point of having this many now even three?
If teams aren't going to look at it legitimately and
say this is going to help me with my starters
or even sometimes you're too deep, what's the point? Why
do you expect me to care? If you don't give
a scattery.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
From no preseason you still calls the same money, You.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Don't think I don't think they cost the same as
regular season cost. But they don't cost the same.

Speaker 3 (01:11:10):
But they lost. It's still a way to make a buck.

Speaker 8 (01:11:13):
Yeah, absolutely, Still families that get priced out of the
regular season. You want to take your gets to a game, them,
should take them to a preseason game. I think money
has convoluted the preseason just in general, and the way
they make up for it now in these times is
the joint practices.

Speaker 6 (01:11:28):
I brought that up the other day last year. You
know the Giants, you know, they came in. We faced
them a couple of times. That's how they make They've done.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
It in Pittsburgh, They've done it in Inddian after that
was the one. I feel like that, that one, I mean,
it was hard not to everybody. I'll go back to that,
but that kind of is like when the Lions turned
the corner, like watching them and watching Frank Wright talk
to Dan Campbell as they were walking out there to practice,
and I really like what you guys are building over there.
You can see Frank Wright saw what the Lions are now.
He saw that day. That was always cool.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
I'm looking this is kind of a boring name, but
I don't care. I'm looking for I'm gonna watch Giovanni
Menu tonight, shout out. And the reason is because at
some point you're gonna need backup lineman. All right, And
and granted, I think the easy thing would be to say,
I'm really gonna watch Tate Ratlic, I'm gonna really watch

(01:12:19):
Toddler Williams if they play. But when when you already
have guys like Taylor Decker who has been missed plenty
of time in his career because of injuries, and he's
been a warrior. Uh, this is not a knock on him.
He's been a hell of a player. Glad that he's
on the lines. But when he's missed time, Dan Skipper
has been able force to come into him in for him,

(01:12:40):
and he's got an injured ankle. When you've got a
guy like h Jamarco Jones who's out with an injury,
I forget his injury. I'm gonna I want to see
the investment they've had with Giovanni Manu and see if
he gets some extended time where he can make some
type of an impression that will feel make them feel

(01:13:00):
a little bit more comfortable putting him in if somebody
goes down, no matter what the position, tackle guard, either.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
One, definitely want to see him. I want to see
what he's learned and I want to see how he's come.
Like we're realistically draft him as a project. You know,
you bring a man say oh you move up to
get a project, but I want to see where that
project has come because he's been under the two Hank
Frayley Hank Frayley's on the best offensive line and coaches
in the league right now. So where is that? What
does that look like for Jia Biden? But is he

(01:13:26):
going to be a guy that can be a replacement
or is he a guy that is on the verse
of being a starter for the offensive line.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
What's your gut tell you about Williams and Ratlitch Because
on Wednesday, As of Wednesday, Dan Campbell said he'd like
to get him some run in so many words, but
he wasn't one hundred percent sold on it. He wasn't sure.

Speaker 6 (01:13:45):
What's your gut tell you about those two guys?

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
Are they play tonight?

Speaker 4 (01:13:49):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
I thought you asked me a different question. I had
a different answer. I thought you were asking my gut
on them as players.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
In this league. Well, you can give you that, you
can give me both.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
Okay, I'll give you both. Playing to night. I think
Ratles plays for sure. I think he has to. Yeah,
he's an individual that's learning two positions and you need
to figure out which one is he comfortable and what's
going to look like? So you got to get him
out there. I don't care if it's for two series,
you know, and a longer drive if you will. If
it's one series, that's fine. Talite Williams, I'm not sure
because that defensive line then they're a little nervous. That

(01:14:18):
defensive lines had a lot of injuries and they need
him for this season with Allen McNeil not being ready
to early November, end of October. So I don't know
if he'll play or not. I know Ratley as will
as it relates today what they can be. Raleis, I don't.
I don't have any doubt Like Raleige, I don't have
any doubt he's going to be a player. I know

(01:14:40):
who his coach was, I know who he came from.
I saw him in action. He's a mom.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
You're convinced he's a beast.

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
He's convinced. Talite Williams. I go back to what I
said yesterday and I'll elaborate consistent. Hio State is soft
as a team, especially on defense.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
They have been, Yeah, they have thank they have been.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
They went from a super physical school and to enter
Ryan Day. The softness in which players that have played
against them not just you know. My boys in blue
have told me about it. I've talked about it. I'm
just nervous about that also under Ryan Day. Outside of
the wide receiver position, who the players that have been

(01:15:21):
drafted in the last four or five years out of
our state that have worked Like it used to be
back in the day, you knew if a guy came
out of house that he was gonna be a stub
for whatever team, like the Bolsa Brothers, like you knew,
I mean, there would be studs anywhere, but you knew
those names. You knew what it was gonna Exzekiel Ellett.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
You're not talking about the Garret Wilson's of the world.

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
And that's why I said outside of the receivers, And
if you want to go there, look at Marvin Harrison Jr.

Speaker 6 (01:15:44):
He's struggling so far last year.

Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
He's struggling in the camp right now with Will Johnson
is on. But realistically, who's the defensive player that's been
a stub? Is it Jeff Okuda?

Speaker 5 (01:15:55):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
Definitely, outside of the wide receiver, Outside the wide receiver,
even offensive line position that used to be a big
staple for Ohio State. I know they got one drafted
this year, but is he gonna pan out?

Speaker 6 (01:16:07):
But is he gonna work just to push back a
little bit.

Speaker 8 (01:16:10):
The Lions don't have a tendency to draft soft players
like I feel like they've done plenty of evaluations on
this guy, and if he wasn't physical.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
You wouldn't be at I hate the word soft with football.
I hate it because I don't think you can play
in the National Football League and be soft, especially that position.

Speaker 7 (01:16:28):
And I the other disagree.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Well, you would know, you would know better than I would.
I have a hard time with that because I again,
I think that's a very convenient word for us when
when there's guys who aren't getting after it, getting after
the other thing? Is The other thing I would ask
is can you do you really think you can win
a national championship in college football without being physical?

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
Today? This is not the same league that you can play.
You just asked the question yesterday why can't we go
back to the West. Not exactly what you said, but
you were talking talking about where the college landscape has
gone and not liking it. In twelve games and now
rivalry games don't even matter and you don't have to
put forth effort. These kids getting all this money, they
I got to hang nown you know, I don't like
playing now. I take this playoff, because now I'm going

(01:17:13):
against this guy that now starts at the high school
level and it carries over to college. So when you
insert Ohio State, they're soft as charm. However, so is
the rest of the college. So is the rest of college.
Excuse me, so are the rest of colleges, at least
from where I came from. So maybe soft is a
little bit too strong for them. But there are only
a couple of schools that embody the same stuff that

(01:17:34):
I grew up on. And so when you have a
bunch of guys at the finesse where now offense is
more important, where they don't really care about tackling anymore,
on defense, where they're not as physical anymore, you breed
soft players. You give them a lot of excuses and
a lot of things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
Because I don't think your alma mater was soft last
year in Columbus, and I don't think it was soft
against Alabama either, but just because they want.

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
But I'm not talking about mine, I'm talking about Ohio State.
I ain't talking about Michigan. Michigan was definitely not soft.
That's why they beat Ohio State, which they had no
business beating last year. It's soft. Their coach is soft.
A lot of times you are a reflection of your coach.
Soft coach, soft players.

Speaker 2 (01:18:12):
Speaking of Michigan, you went there yesterday, What was that
like and what did you go for?

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
I went for interview? Deal for Fox is gonna be
really cool. They'll start doing this rival series before games,
the USC game, the High State game, the Michigan State game,
Notre Dame if we ever play them again. Uh, And
it'd be cool. You have former players, former coaches. It's
talking about the rivalries and things, and it'd be cool.
I won't give you too much because you'll see it

(01:18:38):
when you see it. Mike Martin shout out. This is
uh what was his name? Gus from Fox. But it's
not about this is But it's not about the interviews
that I did yesterday. And that weight room is ridiculous,
Like every time I go there it gets even like, Look,
this is just one part of it. This is a
straight shot.

Speaker 6 (01:18:59):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Help Oh run Outideah yeah, it's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:19:04):
Now this picture right here, I'll get back to what
Michigan is. This picture is great suit Campbell right there
on the left, myself Ron Bellamy, Like those are the
two guys that like, there would be no number one,
like you know without those two guys right there. So
it's good to have a chance to kick it with them.
But just getting back to this team, I didn't watch practice,
so this is an inside of what I saw. And

(01:19:24):
Bryce Underwood did this and the defense looked like that
wink Martin Dale's got them going. It's not about that.
What it's about is the energy that I saw in
Shinebeckla Hall hmm. Like when I tell you, when I
walked in, everybody smiles on their faces, everybody walking confident
and heavy. Like the jokes that just were going on.

(01:19:45):
This is the most I've ever seen Sharon Moore laugh
like we were kicking it and talking and chilling, suit
Ron Wink, all the coaches, the training staff, the players
were having fun. That doesn't happen during training camp if
you're not cooking with some grease and realistically, that confidence
level that I saw, it's only one thing in my opinion,

(01:20:09):
that will make everybody around there walk that that heavy.
And the reason why I say walk heavy because when
it's not going right, coaches, doors are closed, coaches aren't engaging,
players are hiding in the locker room, training staff is
the training room. It's kind of empty. It's like a
ghost town. People are walking super light because you don't
want to make any noise because you don't want to.

Speaker 6 (01:20:30):
Why aren't you in the weight.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
Room and things like that looking at each other in
the eye.

Speaker 3 (01:20:33):
Not looking at it head down. That's not the energy
that I saw out of Shinbackla Hall.

Speaker 7 (01:20:36):
It was like, oh yeah, so you know me fired?

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
You know what that is? Thirteen point five million reasons,
yes sir. Why they're smiling and while they're as they say.
And I didn't see this before. I wanted to talk
about this. This is running back Jordan Marsham last year.
It's scary right now. It's a totally different team than
I saw last year. I truly think we're gonna compete

(01:21:01):
for a national championship. Now all the kids say they're
gonna keep pee for a national championship. So you can
take that with a grain of salt, and I will, too, fine.
But that right there is exactly what I saw in
shin Becklo Hall yesterday. I'm talking about everybody. It's like
they you know what everybody's inc that nobody else knows.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
That's not unique, though. I would think there is an
aura about people at Penn State and Alabama and Georgia
and Ohio State and Oregon. They probably all have that
same type of swagger, don't you think, Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:21:34):
It's not about swag. You can't have swag when you
have ship practices. Excuse my French, like, when you're struggling,
you don't have no swag because if you have bad
practices and you pile up a couple of those bad
practice and players that you you want to take over,
that there's a lot of pressure on aren't performing and
you don't know what this offense looks like, or we
can't get this defense right. It don't matter if you Alabama,

(01:21:55):
it don't matter if you're a Hoio State who just
won a national championship. If it's not looking right, you
get that and you get that energy. Hell, the Lions,
they weren't hunky dory this week in practice after getting
asked with last week, and we believe that they're going
to be in the super Bowl, and it's a lot
of people do when it's not going well. It doesn't
matter that you're Bama or Georgia. It's about what have

(01:22:16):
you done for me lately and lately you have been
practicing like trash. You have been coaching like trash, So
like the energy reflects it and that wasn't reflected on
what I saw yesterday. I saw people that were having fun.
I saw people that were engaged and it was lighthearted.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
Are you the only one who recognized that or do
you think others are recognized that and telling you listen,
this is how I'm feeling about this team right now.

Speaker 3 (01:22:37):
One of the guys in this picture is Mike Martin.
Love Mike Martin. Mike Martin said the same thing. He
saw the same His father is biggeran him, which just crazy.
That deserves it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
That dude really strong. You talk about absolute.

Speaker 8 (01:22:52):
All those teams that you brought up as well, those
were winning squads last year. This Michigan team has no
reason to be walking briskly after they had last year.

Speaker 2 (01:23:01):
Well maybe not overall, but they did beat their rival
and they did account for so yeah, there's there's there's
some reasons for them to have a little bit of
a swagger.

Speaker 1 (01:23:13):
It, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:23:22):
But to your point, they got whooped against Texas. They
got whooped at the.

Speaker 6 (01:23:25):
Game I watched saying.

Speaker 4 (01:23:29):
This is.

Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
I'm just talking about how you progress. Okay, when you're
progressing and you've got certain guys who felt that if
you if you wipe that slate clean, I think it's
different when you have guys who are coming back who
were part of that little run, and you know, I
don't believe necessarily the momentum from one season to the next,
but they understood there was something that clicked with Wink

(01:23:52):
Martindale's defense at the end of last year. Absolutely, and
I think there's something to that being a carryover, not
necessarily and how they're playing, but how they're thinking and
how they see the game and the concepts that they understand.

Speaker 8 (01:24:04):
It's also something that having a quarterback instead of three
because last year you did not have a mancer at.

Speaker 6 (01:24:10):
The quarterback or offensive coordinator position.

Speaker 8 (01:24:13):
And I think they they are in a way better
position this year knowing Bryce's ability and also having somebody
with Chip Lindsay in the building.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
I need to Yeah, I probably I'm one of those
guys who I need to see it. I've seen. I
called all of Bryce Underwood state championship games on TV.
I think he's a really good player. I've talked to
the coaches who have been associated with him, So I'm
familiar with you know, his talents, and there's they're real,
no doubt. But oftentimes we've seen guys who are very

(01:24:41):
highly thought of go to the next level and there
is a transition off fact. So that's what I'm trying.

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
My junior year, my junior year at Michigan, my freshman year,
we don't win a big team my first two years
in Michigan. I think the freshman year we won eight games.
I want to say we won nine or eight games
my sophomore year too, So we were very, very average
Michigan team, if you will. That training camp going to
my junior year, when I knew Chris Perry was the

(01:25:07):
best running back in the Big Ten, when I knew
our offensive line was real, when I knew John Navar
was now a fifth year senior that I trusted and
that knew everything and where it was going. On the
defense side of the ball, insert a young Lamar Woodie.
I was like, Lamar's this good. This is a guy
who's been sleeping on my couch. He's this good. Marlon

(01:25:27):
Jackson moves to safety. So now we got three guys
on the field that were preseason all American. Like that year, man,
I was walking around same way and I'm wearing one now.
I was like, nah, this is it. We were walking fun.
We had fun. We knew it was gonna be a
good year because we felt it. The practices were different,
the energy was different. We felt like the coaches were

(01:25:48):
even more relaxed because they now trusted, you know, the
players and the talent that they had recruited. So going
into that year, I was like, it's gonna be a
good year. I think that's the best team I ever had.
We were better than that USC team that year in
a row. I don't care what people say. We were better.
I dropped the pass on the first series that was
a go route. If I catch that pass, the momentum
is different. Like we beat that USC team that was

(01:26:09):
before Reggie really got cooking with Grease Lindale still was young.
Like we were better than that team. We lost two
games that we should have won. We were a damn
good team. I felt that energy September eighth going into
the sea. Excuse me, August eighth, so bothers you, Yeah,
because it's my fault. In my mind, I know it's

(01:26:30):
not the way it works. But first drive you catch,
that's a nine rods a touchdown, you catch a touchdown
on USC in their home building in Cali, Like the
energy is different. So yeah, that team was different. But
I felt that way in August I said, this is
this is different, like like Jordan's saying, I knew it
was night and day from two thousand and two. I

(01:26:52):
knew it was ninth day from my rookie my freshman year.
It felt different, it looked different, and then when we
got out there.

Speaker 4 (01:26:58):
It was different.

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
So that that team, this team looks different, at least
so far to many of those guys. Yeah, you get
the sense that it feels different. What could stand in
their way then.

Speaker 3 (01:27:13):
Injury, maybe the outside world, the outside world. Michigan has
done a really good job of staying in the house,
like the last five years, like obviously everything at Harball
and they went through in twenty three last year, they
stayed together. They've stayed together, kept things in the house,
and they've been good. Don't let those distractions because there
are people gonna clamoring for Sharon Wore's job. The first

(01:27:36):
time that there's you know, they get close or that
they feel like he made a bad call Bryce Underwood.
He goes out there and throws the interception in Oklahoma
and Norman, Ah, he doesn't deserve this, He's not worth this.
Stay off the socials, stay away from the media, stay
away from us, stay away from me, stay away from us.
Like if they just stay inside those four walls and

(01:27:58):
ann Arbor build this thing up. But if they get
caught in their own ways and starting to pay attention
and now you create division in.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
Sounds like, but sounds promising. So a lot to look
forward to, apparently in ann Arbor when we come back,
we look forward to Brailan's breakdown. He's got some stuff
from Lions Practice that he's going to break down on
what can work with certain individuals at certain positions. We
will do that and when we come back on the

everywhere in this state. There's a Jacks car was everywhere
in the state. There's no excuses, there is no excuse.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
All right, let's get into the Lions a little bit.
And I know they're playing the Falcons tonight. We know
what the storyline is with the Falcons. Everybody we know
the Falcons is you know, it's about Michael Pennox and
is he going to seize control of that offense. And
from all accounts, I spoke with somebody from Atlanta earlier
this morning. They like Michael Pennix, they think he's the guy.

(01:32:04):
They wonder a little bit about Kirk Cousins and why
the hell you would spend so much money and then
go out and draft a quarterback. They are not sold
on their coaching staff, but they are sold on their quarterback.
They're not gonna be good enough to win the division. Tampa,
I think is a sneaky team. By the way, Tampa,
their front seven is gold. Baker Mayfield's the real deal.

Speaker 3 (01:32:26):
You just gave them another freaking weapon in a Mecca
Obuka like Baker Mayfield is about to go.

Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
Off and he got three running backs now, yeah, and
he went off last year.

Speaker 6 (01:32:35):
I've always lined out loud.

Speaker 3 (01:32:37):
I've always liked uh tamp Well, let me not lie.
I like Tampa in his last two years. I said
they were gonna win last year and this year. They
will win again this year. But Atlanta don't sleep.

Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
I think honestly with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, because of
the division in which they play, because of the they're
they're weak on the back end. I get that. Defensively,
if there's a weakness.

Speaker 3 (01:32:58):
You still have Aswan though.

Speaker 2 (01:32:59):
Yeah, no, I agree. I think I think they're a
threat in the NFC, Yes, I really do. We talk
about Detroit and Philadelphia, maybe San Francisco if they can
get some health and they can get things rolling again.
I'm telling you, man, I think Tampa is a threat
to the Eagles and the Lions in the in the

(01:33:20):
National Football Conference.

Speaker 3 (01:33:21):
I don't have a problem with that. They beat the
Lions last year. They had a ton of injuries which
hampered them and hinded them, or they would have been
back in the playoffs and doing some things. And then
the year before that, let's not let's not a lot
of ladies and gentlemen. Uh, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were
one drop interception by Mike Evans from being a Detroit Lions,
like in for a field, So they're very much real

(01:33:44):
in that defense. The big guys up front, Vita Vey.

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
You might as well try to push the wall. That
kool aid is surrounded and it won't move.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
And just like that was not gonna move, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:33:56):
Not gonna move. All right, let's get to your braklan too. Yeah,
they've got a lot of guys on the defensive, tiddle
of all you really like you'd like to have on
your team. This is my favorite segment in the entire network,
not just for the show, but for the entire network.
I don't think you're gonna find this anywhere else. You
can look forward on the four letter Network all you want.
Brailan Edwards breaks down film. He's used to watching it

(01:34:18):
and it's not just wide receivers either. Even though we've
broken down some of the wide receivers so far, we
will do this on a regular basis on the Brailn
Edwards Show throughout the year at least once a week,
and Braylen Edwards is here to break down what he's
witnessed at Lion's camp not too long ago.

Speaker 3 (01:34:34):
Signed note, I love I love this play. I got
benched for the first three series of his game. Is
our first time playing the Dolphins, not because the game play.
I got benched for something to happen off the field.

Speaker 2 (01:34:46):
But look at see the point of the finger on
that that's that's old school four that is so that
is a great picture. That'd be a really good poster.

Speaker 7 (01:34:56):
He's locked in.

Speaker 2 (01:34:57):
I'm telling, oh, you got it, I got you.

Speaker 3 (01:34:58):
Got that bench.

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
So first let me be the smart ass in the group.
Then why does that not a poster signed to Woodward
Sports and put on the wall in here because what
was sports?

Speaker 3 (01:35:10):
And as he preached, but.

Speaker 6 (01:35:13):
I'm asking now, there's a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:35:17):
It'll be here tuesdays.

Speaker 2 (01:35:17):
I want it on the wall so when you're not here,
I can at least look at that.

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):
It'll be here Tuesday. Got Ben's first three series. This
is the first player of the game. I got in
seventy two yard touchdowns. I leg you, boy, seventy nine.

Speaker 7 (01:35:33):
Just saying break because I see a Dolphins helmet there.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
I was just just say that. I told you it's
the old school Dolphins.

Speaker 6 (01:35:40):
That's a great point.

Speaker 3 (01:35:42):
Finkl and iron Horn, Baby, it's Ray Fink. I told
you I don't play when it comes to Dolphins. They
pissed me off every single time. No, I love the
brailing breakdown. I love breaking wide receivers and DB's on
and that was where I made my made my bones,
as they say. But it's some great, great one on
one on iron sharpening, iron situations happening and Alan Park.

(01:36:03):
We got two really good examples for you today. One
happens to be I'm al Ross Saint Brown and d
J Reid. Put that clip up there if you.

Speaker 7 (01:36:12):
Will cool you want you want the fool speed one?

Speaker 6 (01:36:15):
First?

Speaker 3 (01:36:15):
Yeah, let's just watch a full speed. We're watching full speed.
We'll watch it as you know, just people watching it,
watching them play. There, see what we got?

Speaker 7 (01:36:23):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:36:24):
Boom started over.

Speaker 7 (01:36:25):
For me real quick, yes, sir, just so the people
can see that full speed.

Speaker 3 (01:36:29):
So everybody can see a full speed his DJ Reed
and before I'm on Rossing Brown for a team boom.
You see what happens all right, here we go pausing.
One of the biggest things about I'm a Ross and
Brown and we talk about is his speed. Like I
never talked about I don't believe in heightlight. There's been
too too, too many players that are supposedly vertically challenged
that are ballers. He's one of them. So I don't

(01:36:49):
even bring the height up. No need to talk about
that anymore. The speed, though, speed is the thing that
you can talk about from time to time, and where
it hurts is on the outside. Amara has been working
on his speed. He has been working on his dynamics,
and you can see it in this play. Now, this
is a slant i'mar Ross Saint Brown wants to do.
In his slant, you want to get inside. DJ readers
playing inside leverage right now. He's not trying to let

(01:37:11):
him get in. So what i'mar Ron Saint Brown is
about to do? Watch this bumbo. He starts outside, so
terror excuse me. DJ Reed thinks that he's running a
slamt First, he thinks that he's going to run a slam. First,
I'm around Saint Brown gives him another move, takes it
further up. That gets DJ Reed to commit more. And
then he comes up underneath running back.

Speaker 7 (01:37:31):
Watch here when we're going to pause it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:33):
Okay, here we go. See he's inside pause pause right here.
See he's still inside leverage right here. So right now
he's in great position. Talking about DJ Reed, he's in
great position to make a play. Turn his hips open up,
maybe even intercept the ball. I'm around Saint Brown knows that,
so watch what he does. Watch the second move to
get DJ Reed to open up. Here we go, see

(01:37:54):
up up now, DJ Reed open up? Now look at
him now, DJ readers what we call Dad in the water.
DJ Reader is a four four to two dB. Last
time I checked, I'm a Ron Saint Brown, no problem,
finished the play. Look at this big Now it's a
timing route. Balls on Amaran Saint Brown.

Speaker 7 (01:38:11):
There it is.

Speaker 3 (01:38:11):
Now he can make a play. Now he can get
to the next level and maybe even make him miss
and get more coming. This is what you love to
see out of your all pro wide receiver. A'm Aron
Saint Brown, the the the wherewithal to know. I gotta
get inside. Gotta make myself small.

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
What do I do?

Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
I gotta give myself an extra stuff. Let him open up,
and then I come across his face.

Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
Okay, so a ton of questions, awesome stuff as usual.
Not a surprise is that the routers that will read
on a'man Rod Saint Brown. That's that's the route. So
the route is and he can get to that route
any way he wants, as long as he finished, as
long as what as long as he gets the right
depth and time and timing with Jared.

Speaker 3 (01:38:58):
So realistically, you can a lot of times. You can
beat the DV Robbins face to do some things. But
if it doesn't time up, if it's too fast, I'm
gonna rossa and Rod may get in there, but he'll
be on the other side of the line of scrimmers
by the time Jered Goff's ready to throw the ball.
So now he's dead in the water. You gotta get
and you have to keep with. So the good thing
about how he started out, broke it down a little bit,

(01:39:19):
then broke it up more, and then came up and
he kept the whip with So you keep the lanes clean.
The passing lane for Jared goff. Now Jered Golf will
drop back. Oh it's wide open. Boom there it is.
If he goes too quick, it's a muddy pass pitcher
because if he tried to break after the very first
move that he made, Dj Reed would have been in there.
Maybe he makes a hell of a catch, maybe he doesn't,

(01:39:40):
but it's not worth it. But the way in which
he did it, that way passing lane is clean, the
depth is clean, the width is clean. He's protected, catches
the ball and he can make a move and score.
If that was number nine, maybe the house call.

Speaker 2 (01:39:54):
You know, is how quickly he gets into the route
after those moves off the line. The scrimmage that shows
you the quickness of a guy like Iman Ross Saint Brown.

Speaker 3 (01:40:03):
Shows you defeat, shows you the hips, He shows you
the dynamic words that he's been working on in the
off season. He just has a route runner like this
is a major step. You know, you guys, you guys
want him to be the best receiver in the NFL.
That's what you guys are aiming to do. You gotta
take steps, and this is a major step by him.
That footwear looks elite.

Speaker 2 (01:40:20):
And it looks that is so fricking good.

Speaker 3 (01:40:23):
He looks smooth as buttered. It looks like what happens
when you guys a little older you shd that baby fat.
You're no longer twenty two, You're no longer twenty three.

Speaker 2 (01:40:33):
Now you're doing different kind of fat.

Speaker 3 (01:40:34):
Trust me, now you're twenty four, twenty five.

Speaker 6 (01:40:37):
Okay, let me let me ask you this.

Speaker 2 (01:40:39):
So we focus on imn Ross Saint Brown for good reason.

Speaker 3 (01:40:42):
What about DJ just calling him saint? Yeah, I feel
like I say his name a time. I'm just stuck
calling him saint, just like what was that you got served? Yeah? Right,
little sat we look call him a little saint.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
We'll do it fourteen. You can call him whatever you
want as long as as successful. What about DJ Reid?
How much better could he have played that? What could
he have done that? Maybe screwed up the route?

Speaker 3 (01:41:02):
If you will, put his hands on him, put his
hands on at the line of scrimin like DJ Reda
played it to excuse DJ re played a little too
open because he believes I got speed on him, and
see that he put his hand out there. He put
his hands out there, but he wasn't aggressive. He put
it out there as a not a gym right, he
put it out there as a filler I saw. I
was like, okay, I got one, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (01:41:23):
Not kind of to go along with Shep's question.

Speaker 8 (01:41:25):
I feel like he would have been beat either way
because he was playing inside leverage a little too deep
and if I mind Rod was running outside route, he
would have been beat anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:41:33):
Am I wrong in that in that first move he
would have tried to go in there. Dj Re would
have picked that, you think so? You think he would
because he would have verse pivoted like he was. He
was waiting for that move. That's why he had the one.
That's why he had the one hand up like this.

Speaker 2 (01:41:46):
He's waiting to got it? You open up?

Speaker 7 (01:41:50):
When did it?

Speaker 3 (01:41:52):
And he hesitated?

Speaker 6 (01:41:53):
He had to open this way?

Speaker 3 (01:41:55):
Yeah, gotch went underneath that with so he was waiting
to do this move right here.

Speaker 2 (01:42:01):
Shows so yeah, you got that's good stuff man.

Speaker 3 (01:42:08):
So he would have been good in position as a
dB if you would have made the first move, second
move too.

Speaker 2 (01:42:14):
There's not a whole lot you can do in that
situation other than what you said, right, get your hands
on him, because if what I oftentimes hear cornerback say
is you know we're trying to get them off the route.
They're trying to get you off your route. It's harder
with you because of your strength and your size. But
if you can do that, that that screws up the
timing right. It would have appear to the naked eye

(01:42:36):
that he did take him off his route, but it
really didn't detiate.

Speaker 3 (01:42:40):
A lot of things. To a lot of times with
DB's or shorter DB's, go and get shorter wide receivers.
They don't tend to be physical because they fear getting beat.
They fear the quickness. So big tall wide receivers they
love getting their hands not chest because we're tall. You know,
it's easier for them. They don't like it with the
quicker receiver because it's it's even gotta do it this way,

(01:43:00):
so you sometimes got to put your hands in wide
receiver chest. Some is a shock value, like they haven't
seen it before. I was shocked fourteen next time I
saw him. If I was DJ reed love that if
you miss you miss awesome stuff, you're gonna fail.

Speaker 2 (01:43:15):
Fantastic, fantastic And.

Speaker 6 (01:43:16):
What kind of route was that was he run?

Speaker 1 (01:43:19):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (01:43:19):
Okay? That's how maybe it was a drag rope or something.

Speaker 3 (01:43:21):
It looked like a well it's a it's a zero coverage.
So in the zero covers you can run it like
that because all our blitz, press man everywhere, safety deep. Yeah,
it's pressed man line screamings, boom boom, zero covers. He
comes underneath that.

Speaker 7 (01:43:36):
Yeah, he broke the physicality that was in depth.

Speaker 3 (01:43:39):
Depth and with our key you just keep your depth,
you keep your with you can get the ball even
if you're clever, as you'll see in the next place.

Speaker 2 (01:43:47):
So there's a few things. Also, I love what we
were talking about, how you're holding the ball here against
the Dolphins taking it to the house, him putting it
in the outside arm. That's that's number one. Keeps the
way he catches the ball, it's one of the things
I love most about watching I'm on saying Brown play.
He seems to catch everything with his hands. But it

(01:44:08):
sure didn't look like you got a lot of separation
after the fact. There's your four to two speed that
you're referring to with DJ Reed, like DJ Reed gets beat.
His makeup speed is pretty damn good.

Speaker 6 (01:44:18):
Yeah, Yeah, that's why.

Speaker 3 (01:44:21):
And that's why I said, and that's what catch that
question kzy that first one. If he would have tried
to run the slant after the first move, DJ Reed
would have got jumps that and now maybe not intercepted,
but he would have knocked it down for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:44:33):
All right, let's get to the second. I love this.
I mean, we could do it all day all Braylan breakdown.
What's the next one you got for now?

Speaker 3 (01:44:40):
This one, even though the pass is caught, I'm gonna
highlight the dB on his play. I'm going to highlight
the dB. All right, run that clip. This is Jamo
versus a meet.

Speaker 7 (01:44:53):
All right, we'll do full speed first.

Speaker 3 (01:44:55):
Yeah, we'll do full speed fast with people. It's actually
a really good clip here.

Speaker 7 (01:44:58):
We got it just a couple of times and then
we'll load up.

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
Then, all right, you playing Oneman time Boom Jamo b bankm.
So what he's running is a nine yard stop. Nine
yard stop is based like a ten yard hitch. Same
thing he's getting outside. Boom runners release, Jamo runs for two.
So what does he want you to do? He wants
the defender to think that he's taking off. So Boom
gets outside, Release hits it. Now the defenders trying to

(01:45:24):
open up the hips and then when he opens up
the hips. That's where you get the nine yards, put
the foot in the ground, and then you play the
reason why I want to highlight and meet Robinson. I
mean Meat, what what speed is Jamo? Last time I checked?
What do we talk about? Like when he takes all?
We showed that around last week. It's too late. You're
out most against against me and he learned his lesson.

(01:45:48):
So most DB's are gonna want to open their hip
because they're like, if he goes, I can't be behind.
I gotta go before he goes. Meek is patient, he's
patient on this play watch it. Jamo gives him a
little bit. Jamo's gotta get more at the line of scrims.
That's how Meat got into him initially meets riding him.
He feels it. See, Jamo's not settling like he's going.

(01:46:10):
Jamo's not fully committed.

Speaker 2 (01:46:12):
How does he selling more on?

Speaker 3 (01:46:15):
Because he's he's messing with it Meat, like he's getting off.
He's messing with me. He's fighting.

Speaker 6 (01:46:20):
He's not straight running exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:46:23):
He's widening. He's whining like he's thinking. He's whining like
he's thinking one and the other part about me that
I really want to highlight Jamo does that. Look at
the Meek's feet, Ladies, gym, this is the individual that
wants four to two, that could put his foot on
the break, get out of a break, catch up. Watched
his bomb. Meek puts his hand up. Go back to

(01:46:44):
that case, not KG but kool aid. That's what I
was talking about, impeding the wide receivers route. He puts
his hand in his chest. Look at that. Look at that.
Now Jamo has to spend an extra second and a
half fighting at Mick Robins's hand and get it off.
So now he's off his right. He moved. He find
him A meak knows a meak knows that he's not
going on the go. He knows he's not going on

(01:47:06):
the go rat right now because Jamo's not looking down
the field, he's looking at his head. He's looking where's
my mark? The playing where's my mark? The play that
he's looking for that mark. He feels it now.

Speaker 6 (01:47:15):
Watching Meek's feet.

Speaker 3 (01:47:17):
Watch this. Meek turns after Jamo still rolls around and
look at this.

Speaker 4 (01:47:23):
Oh yeah, that's a good play.

Speaker 3 (01:47:24):
That's a hell of a play.

Speaker 2 (01:47:27):
Hell of a throw.

Speaker 3 (01:47:28):
Now, everybody, let's get some love to the wide out.
That is a big catch in track because these players
are usually called when it's about third and seven, third
and six. You get him to ten nine, he catches
the pass and you hope he falls forward him catching
the ball in the outside. We saw him start to
do this last year. He made some big third down
converges on some tight window catches where people were draped

(01:47:49):
on him. This is the next step in the evil.
So that's a hell of a catch by Jamo. But
that is great work by a Meek on this play.
The only thing he didn't do is he didn't finish
is to play. But this is what you want to see,
especially considered in last week he got cooked yeah by
jam Oh and I'm pretty sure it happened a couple
of times in the offseason as well.

Speaker 2 (01:48:09):
This is good to see because the guys are gonna
they're gonna make plays. I mean, defensive back is such
a hard position, right, These guys are gonna they're they're
gonna complete passes against you. If people think Terry On, Arnold,
DJ Raid and Meek Robertson are gonna go and and
there's no one's completing passes, they're gonna have all these
past breakups. Think again, it's how you recovered on those
and then make sure you don't get burned more than

(01:48:30):
once on the same route.

Speaker 8 (01:48:31):
Yeah, I wanted to ask you about a meet because
he is somebody that we've seen they have confidence in
playing on the outside. And we also seen how we
you know, d'd up Justin Jefferson that last game last year.

Speaker 2 (01:48:41):
And I'm not sure he gets enough credit. No, absolutely Detroit.

Speaker 8 (01:48:44):
But for somebody with his size that you would think, okay,
he's too small to go up against a Justin Jefferson
on the outside. What do you think is the equalizer
for him to be able to hang with receivers?

Speaker 3 (01:48:54):
Good question? His say, his secondary I mean, excuse me,
his safeties Okay, his same He's got two the best
in the NFL. And that's no knock to him. Like
at the end of the day, he's going to be
in a slot primarily the majority of the time, and
that's where he does his work. But when you got
Kirby Joseph over, you got Brian Brands underneath you, it
allows you to be more aggressive at the line of
scrimmask in that clip right there, it allows you a

(01:49:15):
little bit more confidence. But yeah, so that's what I think.

Speaker 2 (01:49:18):
It's that's great stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:49:19):
That range for that.

Speaker 2 (01:49:21):
By the way, thank you, thank you for the brail.
That is so good.

Speaker 3 (01:49:26):
Appreciate.

Speaker 2 (01:49:29):
I don't know how you can't if you like football.
If you like football, what we're giving you with Brayln
Edwards here is we're giving you that. You know, Daniel
Latsky has done a really good job of that on
Twitter in the past. You mentioned John Gruden in the past.
This is exactly you know. You get a guy like
this who can read and see things differently and show things.
I bet you there's a lot of dads out there

(01:49:50):
who watch this and they're they're trying to help their sons. Okay,
I think this is where my mind goes.

Speaker 14 (01:49:55):
I'm sure, coach, and you get you get a chance
to show them this and give them the little nuances
on what it takes on either guarding or trying to
sell routes and things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:50:08):
And getting getting off being physical. It's magic.

Speaker 7 (01:50:11):
Hey, let me read this from the chat real real.

Speaker 2 (01:50:13):
Quick, because then we got the uh look at the mailbag.

Speaker 9 (01:50:15):
Kim Matthews, Hey, get your mailbag questions in the chat family,
he says Kim Matthews. See this is a sports show.
It's not opinion but breaking down the sport man. They
loved it, Bro the chat fame loved it. You did
a great job.

Speaker 6 (01:50:29):
Man, This is low key. I got another question.

Speaker 2 (01:50:32):
Yeah. Wait, let's let's let's get to can we get
to the mailbag. Let's get to the mailbag because it's
fifty one after the hour. I want to make sure
we get to the mailbag if people take the time
to send that in. Want to do that, and then
we'll finish up with KG real quick, go.

Speaker 7 (01:50:45):
Ahead, go ahead, KG.

Speaker 6 (01:50:47):
Oh sorry about that.

Speaker 8 (01:50:48):
But yeah, So when you said that, Jamo, you know,
you could tell that he wasn't going deep because he
was looking for as mark. You can kind of tell that.
Is that something that Jamo can improve on? Do you
think that's something that other teams see as well, Like
if he's out in an actual game and they see
him looking for a spot and they can defend him
better that way.

Speaker 6 (01:51:05):
Is that something he could work on?

Speaker 3 (01:51:06):
Yeah? One percent. And that's a conversation between Meek and
and Jmo. You know, the same kind of things when
I was working with Darrel Revis, like we would see it,
we watch film, We would talk about it after practice. Hey, look,
you know what were you doing on that?

Speaker 13 (01:51:17):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:51:18):
What I saw was this. I used to ask revers
a lot of times, if he'll break on my routes,
why'd you break on that? Like, how'd you know to
comeback and out the go route? And he would give
me what he felt. He saw what he felt, and
that's the same thing that he could do. Like look
the end of the day, when you're whinden, when a
dB can whind you like that, he knows that you're
probably not going deep when the DBC is you looking

(01:51:38):
at a spot as opposed at the end zone A
he's looking at the spot. Hey, he looking down the field.
Like when you're running a go route, there's a different
look to you're excited. It's like, how do I how
the hell do I get forty five yards down of
the field the catches get in zone to be on ESPN, right.
I think he didn't have that energy. It was kind
of like, I'm thinking, I'm process and A meek new

(01:52:01):
he whined him. So I know he's not gonna run
a comeback. I know he's not running it out. I
know he's running something in breaking and let me just
guess what does he tempically run?

Speaker 2 (01:52:12):
So yeah, the intellect to me is is next level.

Speaker 10 (01:52:15):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:52:16):
It's awesome stuff. The things you have to read and
be able to react to. By the way, breaking news,
I don't know if we have a sounder for that.
Cody Hoyer. Cody Hoyer has been called up for the Tigers.
Luke Jackson has been DFA, so a different, a different
arm out of the bullpen for the Tigers who play
the Angels tonight, and Trek Scougle might have twenty five

(01:52:37):
strikeouts considering how much the Angels swinging messages? Yeah, what
are we gout from the mail bag?

Speaker 9 (01:52:42):
Yes, I see them pouring in here right now, and
shout out to the chat because you know what, they're
still giving their love to break.

Speaker 3 (01:52:48):
I see you r J.

Speaker 9 (01:52:49):
Graham, he says, I love that breakdown, Braylen. That is
why what we're sports is the best. But shout out
to you, r J.

Speaker 3 (01:52:55):
G thank you for that.

Speaker 9 (01:52:57):
Yeah, and I see Stebo baby in the chat, Melb.
Do you think Jordan Love is overrated as a quarterback,
Matt because a lot of people think that he is.

Speaker 2 (01:53:07):
Yeah, I don't think he is I think he's I
guess it depends on where you rate him. I think
he's a guy who's just outside the top ten. I
think that's probably where he belongs. I don't have any
problem with that. I think he's a good looking quarterback.
It'll be very interesting year for him, considering what they
did for his offense this year. But I don't think
he's in the top ten right.

Speaker 8 (01:53:27):
I think his gun slinger mentality gets him in trouble.
That's just why I think he's not consistent.

Speaker 2 (01:53:31):
I think that, but over the years, I think that's
happened with a lot of guny players. They used to
say the same thing about John Alway. I take John
Elway in a heart, but no, no, he's not. But
he trusts his arm. I want a quarterback who believes
in his arm. I have no problem with that because
I want to get the ball to guys like that.

Speaker 3 (01:53:48):
When it comes to your divisional rivals, like don't just
because you hate the rival, like dismiss everything that a
team or a player can be. Because Jordan Love is legit.
I think he hasn't had the receivers, and I think
the receiver that he drafted, a lot of people in
Golden and everybody's ah, he's not number one bs. I

(01:54:09):
think he's going to be loaded. I think he'll be
healthy and this should be year three for him under
Matt Lafloor's I think they are the team in this division,
like the only team in the number two. Yeah, but yeah,
that's why, I mean it won't be right right right?

Speaker 2 (01:54:24):
You think they can challenge?

Speaker 3 (01:54:25):
I think, thank you. I agree Jordan Love somewhere between
twelve and fifteen. Okay, I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (01:54:31):
You a hell a lot worse than Jordan Love. That's
what I would say. True. I think he's a good player.
I really do anything else in the chat?

Speaker 9 (01:54:37):
Oh yeah, definitely, Yeah, James, he wants to know meilback Bralyn.
Did you ever test out at tight end?

Speaker 3 (01:54:44):
Did I?

Speaker 10 (01:54:46):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:54:47):
I absolutely did not. I didn't know. I wasn't this
big when I played the same size. But it's different
up No, I didn't want to play tight end. Like
I don't mind blocking. I actually love blocking, but putting
me in there come put my hand on the line
of screaming.

Speaker 4 (01:55:00):
That's different.

Speaker 3 (01:55:00):
You can bring me in motion to block one of
those guys, or you can bring me in reverse motions
where I come back and block out on one of
those guys. I'm not putting my hand in the ground
next to the left the right tackle and looking up
at play.

Speaker 2 (01:55:13):
Matthews, I think the I think the tight end position
is one of the hardest positions in sports. I really do.
You have to be a blocker, you have to be
a lineman and a receiver. I think it's and I
love how it's evolved. Block anymore, not as much, You're right,
not as much anymore.

Speaker 9 (01:55:29):
All Right, that's an elite transition. Because we got one
from Kim Matthews mailbag. What do you all think Laporter
will do this year because he could be the X factor?

Speaker 3 (01:55:38):
Shout out to tight end. I didn't hear that. Ask
it again.

Speaker 9 (01:55:41):
He said, what do you think Laporter would do this year?
Because he believes he could be the X factor for
the Lions? Samdy Laporta.

Speaker 2 (01:55:49):
So I like him a lot. I think he's gonna
have a really good year. I think he's had a
really good year last year. It's really hard statistic wise
with this team because of the talent on offense. I
want the ball in Saint Brown's hands, Williams hands right
and Gibson's hands so often, and I really like David Montgomery.
There's only one football to go around. That's an old cliche,

(01:56:09):
but it's true. I think Sam Laporte is very effective.
I love him in the red zone. I think he's
got unbelievable hands. I think he's a really good blocker.
I think he's a complete tight end. I think he's
much better than a guy like t J. Hockinson because
of that ability to block. So I think he's gonna
have a really good year.

Speaker 3 (01:56:25):
Yeah, I think that he is a damn good tight end.
I think he was injury last year. They didn't have
to necessarily use him, so they kept him safe, kept
him healthy. I think he has a big year. But
to your point, it's tough when you're an offensive coordinator.
You got to figure out a way to get every
freaking body on that office to ball. My last year
with the Jets in twenty ten, Yeah, the Danian Thomas
in the backfield, Yeah, Sean Green in the backfield, say

(01:56:47):
what you want, tough, Sean Green had to get his
short yards and gold touches, his touches, san Antonio Holmes
lower have mercy.

Speaker 4 (01:56:55):
Does he have to get his touch?

Speaker 3 (01:56:58):
Then we had brass smith, who's all our weapon X
quarterback out.

Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
I knew that it's right.

Speaker 3 (01:57:03):
So he's wide receiver, he's quarterback. He's running reversus Jericho o'contry,
favorite teammates of all time. He called a past in
Cleveland on third and fifteen. It was a dig rock
and his growing had popped to play before, so he
ran this play with a pop growing dove across the middle.

Speaker 6 (01:57:24):
And like, just like, that's not soft, right, that's not soft.

Speaker 3 (01:57:30):
But him the buck Dustin Keller, Yeah, say what you
want about dust Dustin Keller's another tight end. Fifty four catches.
And so so when you got all these guys to
figure out.

Speaker 6 (01:57:40):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:57:40):
Tough to keep them all helping, right, tough to keep
them all happy.

Speaker 3 (01:57:43):
I was the quiet guy.

Speaker 2 (01:57:44):
Yeah, you were the quiet You need a microphone anything else.

Speaker 9 (01:57:48):
We just got a super chatman. Look, they're just they're
sending in the chatsman, keep them coming.

Speaker 6 (01:57:53):
We appreciate this is exciting on a Friday.

Speaker 7 (01:57:55):
This is dope, man.

Speaker 3 (01:57:56):
The mailbag is it's popping man. But Jay like, but
hit the like, hit that like. But she's been doing
a hell of a job on this show. We appreciate that.
Keep it coming. We do see it, We definitely see it.
We appreciate you for liking the show. Keep doing that.
We're trying to stay ahead of the other shows. We
love them. But we can pete.

Speaker 9 (01:58:11):
It is what it is, Jay Rod says with a
five dollars super chat man. He says, Bright, my church
league softball team needs to sub tonight. You in for
seven twenty locations. Do your partner, it's.

Speaker 7 (01:58:23):
Starting even put the adding dog.

Speaker 3 (01:58:25):
Really maybe next week or a week after, you know
what I'm saying, I might can pull up. I'll be
in a softball league with stick this year. Yeah, and
I just signed up for it, so I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (01:58:37):
Coolad, you don't have to run get that, Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:58:39):
I did not play baseball anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:58:41):
I got it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:42):
I got my letter, my pinion anymore. Because I had
one quick thing before we head out of here.

Speaker 9 (01:58:47):
I will tell the people definitely getting because there's a
lot here. I don't know how to decipher for this
last minute.

Speaker 2 (01:58:52):
Man, but that's your job.

Speaker 13 (01:58:53):
Though.

Speaker 2 (01:58:53):
You're the best at what you do.

Speaker 6 (01:58:54):
Get it together, all.

Speaker 7 (01:58:55):
Right, you know what I know who we're gonna do
with freddie Felt. Freddie Felt you fe and this one
is addressed to mister Shepp.

Speaker 9 (01:59:02):
He says, Asset, You've always maintained that most professionalism and
poise over the years. But what is the one sports
debate or take that has aggravated you the most over
the years.

Speaker 2 (01:59:12):
Pistons fans like Pistons fans liking Michael Jordan. That's not
that's not. There's there's a lot. I mean, there's a
lot of Pistons fans get when when they gave him
a standing ovation he came back with the Wizards. I
was there at the Palace. I threw up in my mouth. Okay,
So there's that because of what he meant to the
game face. My god, listen, it's a Friday. I don't

(01:59:36):
want to ruin your weekend by dusting you on this
floor debate. Okay, that's number one. So the other thing
is that the whole second you know I want I
want the second quarterback in Detroit, which I always found
rather humorous as well. So those are a couple of
the things that have kind of drive me crazy. Also
the fact that we all think sports is super easy,

(01:59:57):
and I definitely know it's not, even though at times
I I've acted just as as guilty real quick before
we get out of here. It is the Red Wings
one hundred. This is our centennial season. Have you seen
the new logo and what they're doing in Center Ice?
It's got the one hundred okay? And then I just
saw this and then the hockey town across it. Do
you like hockey town across center Ice? Yes? Or no?

Speaker 6 (02:00:21):
It's kind of been.

Speaker 3 (02:00:23):
I know you like hockey, but I don't like it
now because we're not hockey town right now. We have
not been hockey town.

Speaker 2 (02:00:30):
But you're either hockey town or you're not, aren't you?
Or is it only when you're winning?

Speaker 3 (02:00:33):
I'm sorry, can't you get to the playoffs in the
last ten years? Right?

Speaker 2 (02:00:35):
They haven't got to the playoffs last nine years? I
don't agree with that.

Speaker 6 (02:00:39):
But it iss like we have coined that phrase.

Speaker 3 (02:00:42):
But it wasn't but it wasn't hockey town, true, It
wasn't anywhere before then. So don't add it now, is
what I'm saying. I got I feel like when you
add it now, you're trying to remind people. We just
kind of like, hey, remember what we used to do?

Speaker 6 (02:00:52):
No, we don't. What are you doing that right?

Speaker 10 (02:00:54):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:00:55):
I feel like that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (02:00:57):
That's a good take. I would prefer just the one
hundred across the I not not because they're not hockey town.

Speaker 3 (02:01:02):
But yeah, they do believe I believe it.

Speaker 2 (02:01:06):
You know, it's been a marketing slogan. I think it
was more of a marketing slogan than that's what it
really is. You know, I think, you know, I think
there are really good hockey cities across this country. Detroit's
in the conversation to call it hockey town. Originally it's
more of it. Well there's yeah, but there's five others. Yeah,
what I'm saying, I don't think And if you look
at it, I mean, if you want debate, I mean,
look at Minnesota. Minnesota, what they draw compared to what

(02:01:28):
Detroit draws, it's it's really not even close. So but
I think it's a cool looking logo.

Speaker 7 (02:01:33):
I would prefer we got it up there.

Speaker 2 (02:01:35):
I would prefer the hockey town out and just the
one hundred. But either way, we're out. We're back Monday,
right here, two o'clock on the Brailan Edwards Show. You're
going to we oh, we will be in.

Speaker 3 (02:01:48):
