Speaker 2 (01:43):
But you know, I'd like to make this as time
tilled as possible.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Just give it a fact that the space to do
it today, I was able to uh get this in.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So how you guys doing.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I'm very happy right now because the New York Giants
game just came went final. The Giants beat the Eagles,
uh thirty four to seventeen. Just I'll react at this
is second. I'm actually my pajamas and I don't give
a fuck, you know, but uh, you know, a lot
a lot going on, a lot going on. Uh you know,
the Giants winning.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Uh, I'm gonna give my top five MP candidates so
far five weeks into the season, well six weeks now,
it's six m six had started. Uh tonight we have
we have multiple super halftime shows happening. Apparently we're gonna
find that out break down and see what the other
show is gonna be Segon Barkley has a new documentary out.
I think I'm on Amazon Prime and he has some
(02:35):
things to say about the Giants. And I have a
great sam Donold take that I put out last week
on the Hella Podcast. I'm gonna present to you guys
here and defend here on the show.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But I want to start.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Here first talking about Lebron James Uh. I'm you know,
you guys, I'm a huge fan. I am a huge fan,
but through the years, and I know it's I know
most this is because it's because of post Miami he ears.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yes, am I still a little salty.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
How he left the team. Yeah, it was as bad
as he did in Cleveland, but I get it. But
I I think, you know, I think I might be
done with Lebron. I think my love for Lebron. I
think I'm pivoting now off my Lebron. And when I
say about that, I don't I still appreach to the guy.
(03:28):
I still think the guy is one of the ways
of all time. He's arguably the goat. I put number
two behind Jordan. I'm one of those guys that's not
gonna change.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
But there's a lot of things with Lebron.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You know, those things are always there, but I never
really spoke on it, and I never really always felt like, ah,
no big deal. But as as as I get older
and I start seeing those same things and those same
things he does, the the on authentic stuff, the fake
that I don't know, I'm just done defending the guy.
(04:00):
You know, I've been critical of him in the past.
Ward I need to be critical. When it came to basketball,
I was always critical and a lot of times too
also with Lebron James. With the media, a lot of
folks were either too heavy handed or you have the
Lebron's called Lebron sexuals who are too lovey dovey. There
(04:22):
was no nuance in it, you know, when became Lebron
James and the narratives. But I think as I get
older and look, I'm not I think the guy is
a from what I can see from from the outside
looking in, he seems to be a loyal husband, a
great father, He's dedicated to his family. You know, he's
he's a he's a pretty clean guy. He has he
has no blemishes on his record. You know, we for
(04:45):
what we know, he seems to be a really good
dude who's doing the right things, you know. And when
we criticize Lebron, it's when I do it. I criticized
it for where where it's where it's necessary, where it
needs me criticized basketball.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You know, I'm just tired defending guy. He's not a
bad guy.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
He really isn't He just he just seems fake to me.
He feels an authentic And again, that doesn't change the
fact that I believe he's a phenomenal talent. I think
he's number two all the time at Michael Jordan. It
doesn't change anything in that. But it's just some things
I'm seeing with him through the years. And I don't
know it was his upbringing. I don't know it's the
(05:23):
brand thing. I don't know what it is. I'm as
done with it. I burned on it, you know. Again,
it doesn't change why people want him a basketall player.
I just don't find him interesting. That's a good point.
I don't find him interesting. I just don't. And quite frankly,
that's not necessarily a shock because, quite frankly, I think
Michael Jordan would goat and I don't find him interesting either.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I find Koy Bryan interesting I find his life story interesting.
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I find guys like Nicole Yoki interesting, uh Yannis, I
find Koree Matol the Bart interesting, and Marrion John's interesting,
you know, Steph Curry interesting.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I don't look the I don't know, man, I miss
doubled it. And then the whole thing with the you
know what.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
The decision, the second decision just did which he was
teasing the possible retirement, and then it's really a Henny
sad and.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Look it is what it is. It's a brand. I
get that. Eh, this I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
It wasn't I can't even see this poor taste because
he never promised anything. He never say he's just spooping.
It was corny, That's what it was. The whole name
was corny. It was really his corny. That's what it
was for me.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So that that that's to me.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You know, I'm just done defending the guy in and
you know he's I mean, you discussed I had Mark
friends who on the podcast on Tuesday and we're talking
about Lebron and we're talking about the Lakers and you
know their all time grades, about Rush Morne all that,
and I'll continue him. So's I said Lebron James is
the greatest player to ever play in the Laker uniform.
With that question, okay, greatest player Laker reform, he is
(06:55):
not number one, he's not the greatest Laker number two.
He's not even on the Rushmore. And I'll go so
far and say he's not even close to about rushmore
because outside the one championship he won in twenty twenty
in the bubble, what else has he done? He hasn't
gone to the final, and in fact, he went to
I think maybe one conference final since then. And the
(07:15):
Lakers have underwhelmed most of the years he's there. They've
missed the playoffs multiple times when he was there. So
I just don't, you know, I don't think he's a
He's a great Laker. Okay, if we wanna give hi
top ten, so be it. Okay, But I think Jerry
West is more important Lebron James the Lakers, Kobe, Kobe Shaq,
Kareem Jerry West off the rip. Okay, I think Bros
(07:38):
About shocked some of you guys. I think James Worthy
is more important to Lakers than than Lebron James. James
Worthy as a number two and number three guy. He
meant more to Lakers than Lebron James did.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And that's okay. That's okay.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Again, greatest player to ever play to every wear that uniform,
but does not mean he's the greatest Laker.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay, separate the two. It's okay to be. I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You know what, When I critique him, it comes from
a place of honesty.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I don't hate the guy. I think the guy is great.
He's a grand basketball league. He's just fake. I'm tired
of it, that's all. It's not a big deal.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So whatever it is, what it is. Anyway, I want
to one to the thing once a while. Right now,
that's the s fresh one line. New York Giants has
won huge game forty four to seventeen tonight against the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And you know, you.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Watch Jackson Dart quarterback with the quarterback, it's just thirt start,
very good two two very good games so far. And
then I watched him today. It hit me today watching
the first drive. And this is even before he scored
the first touchdown a game, because when I look at
rgging quarterbacks, to me, forget the numbers, forget what he
can do the skills wise, because all that will.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Come about when it comes about.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Okay, I don't expect a lot rook from rookies out
to shoot. But one of the things I stood out
to me watching him on that first drive, along with
what I what I watched I guess New Orleans last
week and against the Chargers before that, it's the body
language that sold me on him. Like I was talking about,
(09:22):
like quarterbacks, for rookie quarbacks, what do I have to see?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
You have to look the part. Do you look like
a quarterback that's capable of getting better?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And there are guys that you can tell right now
and sing ugh, how this is in the workout or
the guys like you know, even if it's not there yet.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
You can see the future. You can see the growth,
you can see the upside and in Jackson Tart I
see it.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I'm sold. I'm so one hundred percent now I'm sold
on it. You know another thing too, else I love
about this this guy is that the New York Giants,
probably in the last twenty something years, have had a
certain type of quarterback and turned the personality. Okay, Eli
Manning from one Daniel Jones two guys. While they're different
(10:07):
quarterbacks starts are playing style. Personality wise, they're very by
the book, buttoned up, the whole nine, no flash that
simple to the point.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
And quarterbacker. I don't mind that.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I actually love that. I think Eli Manning it fit
him perfectly. It's why even after football he's still relevant,
he's still marketable, he's still quite you know, interesting, still
even passes playing days. It's why he will eventually the
Hall of Fame. Also, Jackson Dart bucks that trend. That's funny.
I say that because all three guys are white, so
(10:40):
you think, oh, well, white guys. No, Jackson Dart is
a much more flashier than both Daniel Jones, Eli Manning. Okay,
and I think this team needs that honestly this point now, okay,
I know people won't to have the chorus buttoned up,
but I also think that there's there's nothing, there's no
problem with the guy, a kid being a little flashy,
a little little cock you know, over cocky, but little cocky.
(11:02):
Look at Bakekreerfields right now in tamp Bay. He's right now,
are we the MVP right now in the league? He
turns his career a lone Tampa and now they're Super
Bowl contender. You know right now with Key with the
Giants is his development for Testt Dart. That is the
one thing that's gonna save Brian Dables' job. And what
you're seeing and I watch you watch the nine in
that game tonight, is that locker he has locker room.
(11:22):
And you can see on the field Doulpas, a lineman's
helping him up. You know, you can see the energy.
I said this on Junior Chargers game. The energy was
different with Dart. You know, I'm not looking at winds
and losses at this point. That's not important.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Obviously. You want to see win some games.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And for the record, this Giants team right now should
be four and uh and one of four and two
right now because okay, want to beat the Chargers. You
two wins again, super Bowl contender Chargers, which obviously they
were at that time, and the Eagles defensive World champions.
You should be Dallas Cowboys week two with Russell Wilson's quarterback, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
And then you should be in New Orleans last week. Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
See, you have two wins on the board. This team
could be easy three. No Darton' quarterback right now, you know,
so I'm sold because of the energy because what we're
seeing I already see the upside. Look, look, he'll he'll
have he'll have multiple bad games going forward. You will,
I guarantee you have a couple more bad games going forward. Okay,
you'll have a three pick game problem. You'll have a
(12:20):
game where he makes a bad mistake, and that's okay,
he's a rookie.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It's gonna happen. But you see it. You can see the.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Upside, and the locker room loves them, and the fans
love him. You see, the energy is changing now and again,
this is the thing that's gonna say Brian Dabele's job
because the one things Bright the Bull does do well
is developed quarterbacks. Josh Allen's where he is largely because
of Brian dables development and it's and that's that's that's
how he got the job in York in the first place.
So yeah, I'm sold on Bright Jackson Dart, I am.
(12:53):
But I'm also sold in the way where I'm gonna
I'm taking I'm keeping my explications leveled in a sense
where I'm not even asked them to go to the playoffs
this year. Just be competitive and you get better and
by next year. We have a real realistic affectations here.
I know only that they won tonight without the two
best receivers. Blak neighbors out for the year. Okay, also
(13:17):
a Slaton he's out. He was out tonight too, also,
So I mean he did this with a receiver room
that was banged up. Oh by way, scattaboo ball tonight two.
Also on top of that, cam'skattaboo. So I like where
his team's going, continue to build, do the right things,
and what's see what happens there? All the quarterback things
(13:39):
were talk about here. So I had a hot take
on the hull of podcast recently. Well I mentioned that
Sam Darnold is a top ten or twelve uarterbacker league
right now, and of course the.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Whole panels say, what the hell are you talking about? EJ. Well?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Right now, I give you these numbers right now, Sam
Donald right now, from five weeks in the season, Sam.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Donald's now thrown four.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Six yards, nine touchdowns, three interceptions, currently has a seven
three percent piece of percentage and a one almost a
one to fifteen quarterback rating.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Okay, that is amazing. That is amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
And he has Seattle right now playing good football three
and two probably should be in Tampa last week. That
was a great game with the Buccaneers three and two
right now and playing good football. So you say, well, okay,
you can't. You can't say top twelve does give me
roll out names? Okay, her names right now. I'm mcgoam
based on this year. I'm not going based on last
(14:41):
two years or whatever. But the reason I have Donald
on my top twelve is large because we did last
year Minnesota and when he's carried now in Seattle through
five games.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So right now in my top twelve, in no.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Order for the record, no order, no order. This is
based on the on the what we've seen this year, okay,
So Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jordan Love, Jane Daniels, Jalen Hurts,
Justin Herbert, Daniel Jones, Yes, Daniel Jones, Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield,
(15:15):
Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford. And then I fit in, and
I fit in that last year Sam Donolds. Okay, who
say Joe Burrow, Well, Joe Burrows out for the year,
well out Ace until you know, out until uh December,
you know, and by then Bakers people will have you
out of it. So you have him, he's out the paint.
(15:38):
You know, Cee Stroud hasn't been great this year. So
sam Don's a top talk caring Lean. He's tops on
ten town count Lean, you know. And I'm okay with
that now. Of course, when I say that, this is
also a fluid conversation. If he sits the bed next
couple weeks, we're gonna rehap the recent we think that conversation. Well,
right now, the way he's playing, he's playing the top
ten guy right now, top ten twelve guy linger now,
(15:59):
so that's why I say about that. We also saw today,
you know, Washington Giants and Eagles team, and also Saquon
Barkley's returned to the to the second game since coming
back since leaving the Giants a couple of seasons ago.
There's a documentary on singa Barkley now on Amazon Prime.
It's uh, actually it's appearing tonight on Amazon Prime. But
(16:23):
one of the things in the documentary that it shows
was it shows the course last over the years of
Barker's career and the time that the Giants wells the
Eagles in Penn State. Some things in the document will
have the fact that single Barklans because the trade. Back
in July twenty three, during the franchise tag Negoshin period,
Giants owner Dahmer told him that he was wasn't going
to trade him because he felt Sakuon was to developed
(16:43):
valuable to the franchise, which I totally agree. Saquon felt
the Giants a spitfle towards him because he turned down
the initial contract extension back in October twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
The initial offeration for Takwon was.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Poorly, worth only eighteen million dollars guaranteed over three years.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
The Eagles game in.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Twenty six million dollars guaranteed in the deal he signed
in March of twenty twenty four. Even family and friends
for diming Saquon to sign with the Eagles a year
before he did. He was giving the Giants the benefit
of doubt in free agency because it was always an
intention to stay with the Giants all along. He says, quote,
I would have stayed for ten million dollars, even limbaline
dollars a year if they would have just operated in
(17:18):
a different way. Look, this is not very popular with
Giant fans. The Giants fumbled the ball here and where
have they pumbled the ball with this situation was when
they extended Daniel Jones, because even the year he went
to the playoffs won the playoff game, Daniel Jones, in
my opinion at the time, did not play as played
to the to the potential of or earning an extension.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Okay, Saquon did. Saque won't even to be that team.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
In fact, now I understand the the I understand the
you know, the logic of you don't want to overplay
running back.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I totally get that. I totally get that.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
However, Saquon Barklay is not just any fucking running back.
Barkley is the best running back in the league, and
in fact, his prototype he is one of the greatest
running backs we've ever seen play football based on the
proto type.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Okay, so he's worth the risk. Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
And furthermore, I set this on record months before it
happened that if they didn't make Saque whole, I was
I was afraid that the Philadelphia Eagles, knowing how they
are No. One congress of the again players and talent,
was gonna was gonna take a chance on Sagle Barkley.
And it would have made sense because hello, Saque went
(18:37):
to penn State, penn State, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, olds in Pennsylvania.
It makes sense, and what happened there?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Sele goes to Philadelphia two thousand illars rushing SUPERWL Championship
MP conversation and then you have it. That's simple. That's simple.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So Joe Shane, Joe Shane and John and John all
drop the ball there own that shit call a day.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Okay, the worst part two?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Also, all that negotiations and stuff was all on a
display on hard docks on top of all that. How
embarrassing was that? But hey, well you're past that now.
The documentary is out there. We're obviously we're gonna manipulate it,
we're gonna look at it and react to it, but
we're past it now. Me personally, I'm happy for sakeon Barkley.
(19:28):
I love Sayqwon Barkley. Okay, one the giants a giant,
and I still to stick by that, you know, but
the giants treat him like shit. I'm sorry they did,
And I know people say what I did. Disagree with that?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
No, you know it make him hold if.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You value him, show that through monetary means. Clearly you
didn't you didn't value him the same way that the
Eagles did.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
That's simple. I don't look. I'm a Giants fan, but
I don't play favorites. I call I can see it.
You know. I am with this.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I am with politics, with everything else, with my kids.
Doesn't matter in life. I call balls and strikes. If
what's right as right, what's wrong is wrong. And the
way the Giants dropped the ball here, they were totally wrong. Okay,
all right, ask for saying what Barkley. Let's get to
the end my my next top five year eating top five,
Top five MVB candidates so far this season, all right,
(20:16):
in order, I guess here's what in order?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Number five Jared Goff.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Jared Goff had a great year the lines at red
hot since losing that first game.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's the Packers the.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Week one that they are, in my opinion, the best
team in football. And with the Eagles losing against the
Night because the Giants, that point is made more clear now. Okay,
So Jerry Goff Number five MVB candidates so far. Number
four Josh Allen, and I say that even though the
Buffalo Bills have not played any money, I mean, they
are four wins this year or against who the Ravens
(20:48):
win Week one, which okay, they played with Labar and
Derrek Henry were not but then had come way back.
And even then the Ravens team they are right now
on mess Okay, but then you're beaten? What the Saints,
the Jets? Who else to beat in the same Jets
and Dolphins? Those are four wins? Okay, not very impressive?
Three three or four wins? I guess the five worst.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Teams the football in my opinion. Okay, but Josh Allen's
still phenomenal. And I think the Bills are still a
little overrated, which is why they need Josh Allen.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Why Josh Allens in this conversation because with al Josh
Allen they were a two win team. Okay, right now,
I think the Colts bear in the Bills right now
now when it plays out that wing in.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
The year, we shall see.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
But outside outside of Josh Allen versus Allen Jones, what
do what does Buffle do better than the Napolis right now?
Answer that question? But three pooka Nakua the Rams that
this this dude is a baller. Okay, It's easier for
me to say this point in Matthew Stafford, and Stafford
might might be in conversation to also, But Pookah.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Is just a baller, makes every catch.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You know, you're just worrying that he will he will
be available, if he will be available on not by
the end of the season, you know what I'm saying,
because he's such a baller and such a grinder, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
But Pooking the cool is in my top five. Number two.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Daniel Jones again, another guy, former Giant, bawling since leaving
the Giants.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Another guy.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He's been phenomenal this year. Okay again, will the sustain
going forward? I don't know, but right now, the Colts
are right in my opinion, right now, the best team
in AFC right now, in my opinion. Now, are they
simple tender? I guess right now by default, yeah, they
are because it's wide open the AFC. But the Colts
do a lot of things right and Danyl Jones is
betefit than that. Yes, Jonathan Jonathan Taylor is phenomenal. Yes,
(22:32):
the defense is great, but Daniel Jones. You see now
when Daniels has a confident line in front of him
and a great running game, which we've always had that
but online in a stable situation and less pressure. Also
to playing indie versus in New York. He can flourish
and he's doing that right now. And Number one, of course,
(22:52):
Baking Mefield, my guy, Baking Mayfield, Ten Bay Buccaneers. This
dude is incredible seeing this turn around last couple of
years in Tampa now comes to this point. Tampa's scary team,
the four and one all four comebacks, Baker Beefield making
late comebacks, almost did against the Eagles a couple weeks to
go back a couple weeks back and uh, they're super
(23:13):
pro tender and they're gonna get healthier too. Mike Evanson
is still out now.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Two Also.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Buka, the other receiver's phenomenal, But Baker b Befool make
it every throw. He's a grinder, he talks shit. I
love him, you know. Jackson Dart reminds me a.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Lot of Baker Beefield. Actually, you think about it, you see.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
A lot of Josh Allen and Jackson Dart, but you'll
see a lot of Baker by Field deaths Dart, you know.
And I really, really I'm glad to see making by
Poole finally figure it all out.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Finally, you know, all right, one last things got out
of here.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Apparently there is another counter Super Bowl halftime show being announced,
and it's from Turning Point USA. They have announced they
are announce a plan to host a counter programming event
called the All American Halftime Show, to air opposite the
NFL's official Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Sixty half time performance.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
We'll just set the future bad Bunny the event, of course,
the purpose, well, actually the event. The purpose of the
event is positioned as an alternative celebration that will highlight
themes of faith, family, and freedom in a response to
the selection of Bad Bunny, which has face criticism from
some conservative figures. Of course, it is taking place February
twenty twenty six, the same Baseball sixty. Trus has not
(24:20):
announced the location of the pormers for the event, staying
those those details are coming soon. In terms the fan input,
the organization posted the sign up sheet and surveying on
the website asking fans to select music genres they would
like to see, but one of the options.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Being anything in English.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
In terms of leadership, the announcement was made by Erica Kirk,
the widow of the organization's co found Croni Kirk, who
has taken over as a leader of the group.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Now I'm gonna say this real quick.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Anyone, not just you know, torpt USA, but any organization
doing something like this is not a new thing. We've
seen many times other companies do events. I meant, back
in the A Living Color, did you know did stuff
out you know, doing the halftime show. The WWE has
done this multiple times for in the past two Al
Somber member of Rockets Mankind, boiler Room whatever we call
(25:12):
anywhere it goes match they had from the title that
was a halftime show too. Also, so we've seen examples
of other companies and platforms.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Do things opposite that.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
But this thing is a little more spiteful because of
the political angle of this, because the Bad Bunny being
announced as at the performer.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
A lot of folks are in their feeling about that.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Some folks to who don't know who Bad Bunny is,
even though Bad Bunny is pretty big, especially outside of the country.
People let's look at saying well, bad Bunny is not
is not American, which he actually is Americans from perto Rico,
you know.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So on one, on one hand, what they're.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Doing is not surprising it's not really you know, you know,
it's not new, it's not it's not a new thing.
You know, it's not original any for that matter. It's
just very spiteful, you know. It's it's it just seeps
sim will polarization into the event. Now I haven't said
haven't said that. I still guarantee you that Bad Bunny
(26:08):
performance will get well over one hundred million viewers, probably more.
And in fact, I think this counter programming now is
going to make people want to watch by Mouney, meaning
more so in my opinion, if you're trying to get
folks to not watch Bad Bad Bunny, this might have
This may have the opposite effect, honestly, because not only
it's gonna have people watching in the country, but also
(26:29):
outside of the country, Mean Moore, Now, Bad Mouney is.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Huge, guys.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I don't think I'm not a fan, but Bad Bunny's
huge outside of America and the Super Bowl and the NFL
is positioning itself to becoming a global entity, not just
American entity.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
So we need to understand that.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
NFL is starting to promote themselves in London and Ireland
and all the Germany and Mexico and Brazil, they're opening
this thing now the NFL. While it is called the
National Football League. It's starting to become a worldwide phenomenon.
So folks in their feelings about this.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You better get over it, brotherly, because you know, fit
in and.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Fit out at this point again, I might magic y'all
for doing this, because I get it. That's till you
get it. It's an original concept, but at the same
time it comes off as petty. This petty you know,
you know, for a record, if you don't want to
watch it or watch it, every right to watch not
to watch it. I'm not a bad Money fan personally.
I'll watch it. I'm not a bad Money fan personally,
(27:27):
you know. So I rather I remember rather Sematalica play.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But that's just my opinion. You know. They made a decision.
That's it. So anyway, that's it for me.
Speaker 1 (27:37):

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Uh, I'm gonna give my top five MP candidates so
far five weeks into the season, well six weeks now,
it's six m six had started. Uh tonight we have
we have multiple super halftime shows happening. Apparently we're gonna
find that out break down and see what the other
show is gonna be Segon Barkley has a new documentary out.
I think I'm on Amazon Prime and he has some
(02:35):
things to say about the Giants. And I have a
great sam Donold take that I put out last week
on the Hella Podcast. I'm gonna present to you guys
here and defend here on the show.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But I want to start.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Here first talking about Lebron James Uh. I'm you know,
you guys, I'm a huge fan. I am a huge fan,
but through the years, and I know it's I know
most this is because it's because of post Miami he ears.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yes, am I still a little salty.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
How he left the team. Yeah, it was as bad
as he did in Cleveland, but I get it. But
I I think, you know, I think I might be
done with Lebron. I think my love for Lebron. I
think I'm pivoting now off my Lebron. And when I
say about that, I don't I still appreach to the guy.
(03:28):
I still think the guy is one of the ways
of all time. He's arguably the goat. I put number
two behind Jordan. I'm one of those guys that's not
gonna change.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
But there's a lot of things with Lebron.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You know, those things are always there, but I never
really spoke on it, and I never really always felt like, ah,
no big deal. But as as as I get older
and I start seeing those same things and those same
things he does, the the on authentic stuff, the fake
that I don't know, I'm just done defending the guy.
(04:00):
You know, I've been critical of him in the past.
Ward I need to be critical. When it came to basketball,
I was always critical and a lot of times too
also with Lebron James. With the media, a lot of
folks were either too heavy handed or you have the
Lebron's called Lebron sexuals who are too lovey dovey. There
(04:22):
was no nuance in it, you know, when became Lebron
James and the narratives. But I think as I get
older and look, I'm not I think the guy is
a from what I can see from from the outside
looking in, he seems to be a loyal husband, a
great father, He's dedicated to his family. You know, he's
he's a he's a pretty clean guy. He has he
has no blemishes on his record. You know, we for
(04:45):
what we know, he seems to be a really good
dude who's doing the right things, you know. And when
we criticize Lebron, it's when I do it. I criticized
it for where where it's where it's necessary, where it
needs me criticized basketball.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You know, I'm just tired defending guy. He's not a
bad guy.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
He really isn't He just he just seems fake to me.
He feels an authentic And again, that doesn't change the
fact that I believe he's a phenomenal talent. I think
he's number two all the time at Michael Jordan. It
doesn't change anything in that. But it's just some things
I'm seeing with him through the years. And I don't
know it was his upbringing. I don't know it's the
(05:23):
brand thing. I don't know what it is. I'm as
done with it. I burned on it, you know. Again,
it doesn't change why people want him a basketall player.
I just don't find him interesting. That's a good point.
I don't find him interesting. I just don't. And quite frankly,
that's not necessarily a shock because, quite frankly, I think
Michael Jordan would goat and I don't find him interesting either.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I find Koy Bryan interesting I find his life story interesting.
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I find guys like Nicole Yoki interesting, uh Yannis, I
find Koree Matol the Bart interesting, and Marrion John's interesting,
you know, Steph Curry interesting.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I don't look the I don't know, man, I miss
doubled it. And then the whole thing with the you
know what.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
The decision, the second decision just did which he was
teasing the possible retirement, and then it's really a Henny
sad and.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Look it is what it is. It's a brand. I
get that. Eh, this I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
It wasn't I can't even see this poor taste because
he never promised anything. He never say he's just spooping.
It was corny, That's what it was. The whole name
was corny. It was really his corny. That's what it
was for me.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So that that that's to me.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You know, I'm just done defending the guy in and
you know he's I mean, you discussed I had Mark
friends who on the podcast on Tuesday and we're talking
about Lebron and we're talking about the Lakers and you
know their all time grades, about Rush Morne all that,
and I'll continue him. So's I said Lebron James is
the greatest player to ever play in the Laker uniform.
With that question, okay, greatest player Laker reform, he is
(06:55):
not number one, he's not the greatest Laker number two.
He's not even on the Rushmore. And I'll go so
far and say he's not even close to about rushmore
because outside the one championship he won in twenty twenty
in the bubble, what else has he done? He hasn't
gone to the final, and in fact, he went to
I think maybe one conference final since then. And the
(07:15):
Lakers have underwhelmed most of the years he's there. They've
missed the playoffs multiple times when he was there. So
I just don't, you know, I don't think he's a
He's a great Laker. Okay, if we wanna give hi
top ten, so be it. Okay, But I think Jerry
West is more important Lebron James the Lakers, Kobe, Kobe Shaq,
Kareem Jerry West off the rip. Okay, I think Bros
(07:38):
About shocked some of you guys. I think James Worthy
is more important to Lakers than than Lebron James. James
Worthy as a number two and number three guy. He
meant more to Lakers than Lebron James did.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And that's okay. That's okay.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Again, greatest player to ever play to every wear that uniform,
but does not mean he's the greatest Laker.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay, separate the two. It's okay to be. I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You know what, When I critique him, it comes from
a place of honesty.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I don't hate the guy. I think the guy is great.
He's a grand basketball league. He's just fake. I'm tired
of it, that's all. It's not a big deal.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So whatever it is, what it is. Anyway, I want
to one to the thing once a while. Right now,
that's the s fresh one line. New York Giants has
won huge game forty four to seventeen tonight against the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And you know, you.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Watch Jackson Dart quarterback with the quarterback, it's just thirt start,
very good two two very good games so far. And
then I watched him today. It hit me today watching
the first drive. And this is even before he scored
the first touchdown a game, because when I look at
rgging quarterbacks, to me, forget the numbers, forget what he
can do the skills wise, because all that will.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Come about when it comes about.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Okay, I don't expect a lot rook from rookies out
to shoot. But one of the things I stood out
to me watching him on that first drive, along with
what I what I watched I guess New Orleans last
week and against the Chargers before that, it's the body
language that sold me on him. Like I was talking about,
(09:22):
like quarterbacks, for rookie quarbacks, what do I have to see?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
You have to look the part. Do you look like
a quarterback that's capable of getting better?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And there are guys that you can tell right now
and sing ugh, how this is in the workout or
the guys like you know, even if it's not there yet.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
You can see the future. You can see the growth,
you can see the upside and in Jackson Tart I
see it.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I'm sold. I'm so one hundred percent now I'm sold
on it. You know another thing too, else I love
about this this guy is that the New York Giants,
probably in the last twenty something years, have had a
certain type of quarterback and turned the personality. Okay, Eli
Manning from one Daniel Jones two guys. While they're different
(10:07):
quarterbacks starts are playing style. Personality wise, they're very by
the book, buttoned up, the whole nine, no flash that
simple to the point.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
And quarterbacker. I don't mind that.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I actually love that. I think Eli Manning it fit
him perfectly. It's why even after football he's still relevant,
he's still marketable, he's still quite you know, interesting, still
even passes playing days. It's why he will eventually the
Hall of Fame. Also, Jackson Dart bucks that trend. That's funny.
I say that because all three guys are white, so
(10:40):
you think, oh, well, white guys. No, Jackson Dart is
a much more flashier than both Daniel Jones, Eli Manning. Okay,
and I think this team needs that honestly this point now, okay,
I know people won't to have the chorus buttoned up,
but I also think that there's there's nothing, there's no
problem with the guy, a kid being a little flashy,
a little little cock you know, over cocky, but little cocky.
(11:02):
Look at Bakekreerfields right now in tamp Bay. He's right now,
are we the MVP right now in the league? He
turns his career a lone Tampa and now they're Super
Bowl contender. You know right now with Key with the
Giants is his development for Testt Dart. That is the
one thing that's gonna save Brian Dables' job. And what
you're seeing and I watch you watch the nine in
that game tonight, is that locker he has locker room.
(11:22):
And you can see on the field Doulpas, a lineman's
helping him up. You know, you can see the energy.
I said this on Junior Chargers game. The energy was
different with Dart. You know, I'm not looking at winds
and losses at this point. That's not important.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Obviously. You want to see win some games.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And for the record, this Giants team right now should
be four and uh and one of four and two
right now because okay, want to beat the Chargers. You
two wins again, super Bowl contender Chargers, which obviously they
were at that time, and the Eagles defensive World champions.
You should be Dallas Cowboys week two with Russell Wilson's quarterback, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
And then you should be in New Orleans last week. Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
See, you have two wins on the board. This team
could be easy three. No Darton' quarterback right now, you know,
so I'm sold because of the energy because what we're
seeing I already see the upside. Look, look, he'll he'll
have he'll have multiple bad games going forward. You will,
I guarantee you have a couple more bad games going forward. Okay,
you'll have a three pick game problem. You'll have a
(12:20):
game where he makes a bad mistake, and that's okay,
he's a rookie.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It's gonna happen. But you see it. You can see the.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Upside, and the locker room loves them, and the fans
love him. You see, the energy is changing now and again,
this is the thing that's gonna say Brian Dabele's job
because the one things Bright the Bull does do well
is developed quarterbacks. Josh Allen's where he is largely because
of Brian dables development and it's and that's that's that's
how he got the job in York in the first place.
So yeah, I'm sold on Bright Jackson Dart, I am.
(12:53):
But I'm also sold in the way where I'm gonna
I'm taking I'm keeping my explications leveled in a sense
where I'm not even asked them to go to the playoffs
this year. Just be competitive and you get better and
by next year. We have a real realistic affectations here.
I know only that they won tonight without the two
best receivers. Blak neighbors out for the year. Okay, also
(13:17):
a Slaton he's out. He was out tonight too, also,
So I mean he did this with a receiver room
that was banged up. Oh by way, scattaboo ball tonight two.
Also on top of that, cam'skattaboo. So I like where
his team's going, continue to build, do the right things,
and what's see what happens there? All the quarterback things
(13:39):
were talk about here. So I had a hot take
on the hull of podcast recently. Well I mentioned that
Sam Darnold is a top ten or twelve uarterbacker league
right now, and of course the.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Whole panels say, what the hell are you talking about? EJ. Well?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Right now, I give you these numbers right now, Sam
Donald right now, from five weeks in the season, Sam.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Donald's now thrown four.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Six yards, nine touchdowns, three interceptions, currently has a seven
three percent piece of percentage and a one almost a
one to fifteen quarterback rating.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Okay, that is amazing. That is amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
And he has Seattle right now playing good football three
and two probably should be in Tampa last week. That
was a great game with the Buccaneers three and two
right now and playing good football. So you say, well, okay,
you can't. You can't say top twelve does give me
roll out names? Okay, her names right now. I'm mcgoam
based on this year. I'm not going based on last
(14:41):
two years or whatever. But the reason I have Donald
on my top twelve is large because we did last
year Minnesota and when he's carried now in Seattle through
five games.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So right now in my top twelve, in no.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Order for the record, no order, no order. This is
based on the on the what we've seen this year, okay,
So Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jordan Love, Jane Daniels, Jalen Hurts,
Justin Herbert, Daniel Jones, Yes, Daniel Jones, Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield,
(15:15):
Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford. And then I fit in, and
I fit in that last year Sam Donolds. Okay, who
say Joe Burrow, Well, Joe Burrows out for the year,
well out Ace until you know, out until uh December,
you know, and by then Bakers people will have you
out of it. So you have him, he's out the paint.
(15:38):
You know, Cee Stroud hasn't been great this year. So
sam Don's a top talk caring Lean. He's tops on
ten town count Lean, you know. And I'm okay with
that now. Of course, when I say that, this is
also a fluid conversation. If he sits the bed next
couple weeks, we're gonna rehap the recent we think that conversation. Well,
right now, the way he's playing, he's playing the top
ten guy right now, top ten twelve guy linger now,
(15:59):
so that's why I say about that. We also saw today,
you know, Washington Giants and Eagles team, and also Saquon
Barkley's returned to the to the second game since coming
back since leaving the Giants a couple of seasons ago.
There's a documentary on singa Barkley now on Amazon Prime.
It's uh, actually it's appearing tonight on Amazon Prime. But
(16:23):
one of the things in the documentary that it shows
was it shows the course last over the years of
Barker's career and the time that the Giants wells the
Eagles in Penn State. Some things in the document will
have the fact that single Barklans because the trade. Back
in July twenty three, during the franchise tag Negoshin period,
Giants owner Dahmer told him that he was wasn't going
to trade him because he felt Sakuon was to developed
(16:43):
valuable to the franchise, which I totally agree. Saquon felt
the Giants a spitfle towards him because he turned down
the initial contract extension back in October twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
The initial offeration for Takwon was.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Poorly, worth only eighteen million dollars guaranteed over three years.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
The Eagles game in.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Twenty six million dollars guaranteed in the deal he signed
in March of twenty twenty four. Even family and friends
for diming Saquon to sign with the Eagles a year
before he did. He was giving the Giants the benefit
of doubt in free agency because it was always an
intention to stay with the Giants all along. He says, quote,
I would have stayed for ten million dollars, even limbaline
dollars a year if they would have just operated in
(17:18):
a different way. Look, this is not very popular with
Giant fans. The Giants fumbled the ball here and where
have they pumbled the ball with this situation was when
they extended Daniel Jones, because even the year he went
to the playoffs won the playoff game, Daniel Jones, in
my opinion at the time, did not play as played
to the to the potential of or earning an extension.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Okay, Saquon did. Saque won't even to be that team.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
In fact, now I understand the the I understand the
you know, the logic of you don't want to overplay
running back.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I totally get that. I totally get that.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
However, Saquon Barklay is not just any fucking running back.
Barkley is the best running back in the league, and
in fact, his prototype he is one of the greatest
running backs we've ever seen play football based on the
proto type.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Okay, so he's worth the risk. Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
And furthermore, I set this on record months before it
happened that if they didn't make Saque whole, I was
I was afraid that the Philadelphia Eagles, knowing how they
are No. One congress of the again players and talent,
was gonna was gonna take a chance on Sagle Barkley.
And it would have made sense because hello, Saque went
(18:37):
to penn State, penn State, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, olds in Pennsylvania.
It makes sense, and what happened there?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Sele goes to Philadelphia two thousand illars rushing SUPERWL Championship
MP conversation and then you have it. That's simple. That's simple.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So Joe Shane, Joe Shane and John and John all
drop the ball there own that shit call a day.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Okay, the worst part two?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Also, all that negotiations and stuff was all on a
display on hard docks on top of all that. How
embarrassing was that? But hey, well you're past that now.
The documentary is out there. We're obviously we're gonna manipulate it,
we're gonna look at it and react to it, but
we're past it now. Me personally, I'm happy for sakeon Barkley.
(19:28):
I love Sayqwon Barkley. Okay, one the giants a giant,
and I still to stick by that, you know, but
the giants treat him like shit. I'm sorry they did,
And I know people say what I did. Disagree with that?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
No, you know it make him hold if.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You value him, show that through monetary means. Clearly you
didn't you didn't value him the same way that the
Eagles did.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
That's simple. I don't look. I'm a Giants fan, but
I don't play favorites. I call I can see it.
You know. I am with this.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I am with politics, with everything else, with my kids.
Doesn't matter in life. I call balls and strikes. If
what's right as right, what's wrong is wrong. And the
way the Giants dropped the ball here, they were totally wrong. Okay,
all right, ask for saying what Barkley. Let's get to
the end my my next top five year eating top five,
Top five MVB candidates so far this season, all right,
(20:16):
in order, I guess here's what in order?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Number five Jared Goff.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Jared Goff had a great year the lines at red
hot since losing that first game.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's the Packers the.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Week one that they are, in my opinion, the best
team in football. And with the Eagles losing against the
Night because the Giants, that point is made more clear now. Okay,
So Jerry Goff Number five MVB candidates so far. Number
four Josh Allen, and I say that even though the
Buffalo Bills have not played any money, I mean, they
are four wins this year or against who the Ravens
(20:48):
win Week one, which okay, they played with Labar and
Derrek Henry were not but then had come way back.
And even then the Ravens team they are right now
on mess Okay, but then you're beaten? What the Saints,
the Jets? Who else to beat in the same Jets
and Dolphins? Those are four wins? Okay, not very impressive?
Three three or four wins? I guess the five worst.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Teams the football in my opinion. Okay, but Josh Allen's
still phenomenal. And I think the Bills are still a
little overrated, which is why they need Josh Allen.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Why Josh Allens in this conversation because with al Josh
Allen they were a two win team. Okay, right now,
I think the Colts bear in the Bills right now
now when it plays out that wing in.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
The year, we shall see.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
But outside outside of Josh Allen versus Allen Jones, what
do what does Buffle do better than the Napolis right now?
Answer that question? But three pooka Nakua the Rams that
this this dude is a baller. Okay, It's easier for
me to say this point in Matthew Stafford, and Stafford
might might be in conversation to also, But Pookah.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Is just a baller, makes every catch.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You know, you're just worrying that he will he will
be available, if he will be available on not by
the end of the season, you know what I'm saying,
because he's such a baller and such a grinder, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
But Pooking the cool is in my top five. Number two.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Daniel Jones again, another guy, former Giant, bawling since leaving
the Giants.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Another guy.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He's been phenomenal this year. Okay again, will the sustain
going forward? I don't know, but right now, the Colts
are right in my opinion, right now, the best team
in AFC right now, in my opinion. Now, are they
simple tender? I guess right now by default, yeah, they
are because it's wide open the AFC. But the Colts
do a lot of things right and Danyl Jones is
betefit than that. Yes, Jonathan Jonathan Taylor is phenomenal. Yes,
(22:32):
the defense is great, but Daniel Jones. You see now
when Daniels has a confident line in front of him
and a great running game, which we've always had that
but online in a stable situation and less pressure. Also
to playing indie versus in New York. He can flourish
and he's doing that right now. And Number one, of course,
(22:52):
Baking Mefield, my guy, Baking Mayfield, Ten Bay Buccaneers. This
dude is incredible seeing this turn around last couple of
years in Tampa now comes to this point. Tampa's scary team,
the four and one all four comebacks, Baker Beefield making
late comebacks, almost did against the Eagles a couple weeks to
go back a couple weeks back and uh, they're super
(23:13):
pro tender and they're gonna get healthier too. Mike Evanson
is still out now.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Two Also.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Buka, the other receiver's phenomenal, But Baker b Befool make
it every throw. He's a grinder, he talks shit. I
love him, you know. Jackson Dart reminds me a.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Lot of Baker Beefield. Actually, you think about it, you see.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
A lot of Josh Allen and Jackson Dart, but you'll
see a lot of Baker by Field deaths Dart, you know.
And I really, really I'm glad to see making by
Poole finally figure it all out.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Finally, you know, all right, one last things got out
of here.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Apparently there is another counter Super Bowl halftime show being announced,
and it's from Turning Point USA. They have announced they
are announce a plan to host a counter programming event
called the All American Halftime Show, to air opposite the
NFL's official Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Sixty half time performance.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
We'll just set the future bad Bunny the event, of course,
the purpose, well, actually the event. The purpose of the
event is positioned as an alternative celebration that will highlight
themes of faith, family, and freedom in a response to
the selection of Bad Bunny, which has face criticism from
some conservative figures. Of course, it is taking place February
twenty twenty six, the same Baseball sixty. Trus has not
(24:20):
announced the location of the pormers for the event, staying
those those details are coming soon. In terms the fan input,
the organization posted the sign up sheet and surveying on
the website asking fans to select music genres they would
like to see, but one of the options.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Being anything in English.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
In terms of leadership, the announcement was made by Erica Kirk,
the widow of the organization's co found Croni Kirk, who
has taken over as a leader of the group.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Now I'm gonna say this real quick.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Anyone, not just you know, torpt USA, but any organization
doing something like this is not a new thing. We've
seen many times other companies do events. I meant, back
in the A Living Color, did you know did stuff
out you know, doing the halftime show. The WWE has
done this multiple times for in the past two Al
Somber member of Rockets Mankind, boiler Room whatever we call
(25:12):
anywhere it goes match they had from the title that
was a halftime show too. Also, so we've seen examples
of other companies and platforms.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Do things opposite that.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
But this thing is a little more spiteful because of
the political angle of this, because the Bad Bunny being
announced as at the performer.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
A lot of folks are in their feeling about that.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Some folks to who don't know who Bad Bunny is,
even though Bad Bunny is pretty big, especially outside of the country.
People let's look at saying well, bad Bunny is not
is not American, which he actually is Americans from perto Rico,
you know.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So on one, on one hand, what they're.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Doing is not surprising it's not really you know, you know,
it's not new, it's not it's not a new thing.
You know, it's not original any for that matter. It's
just very spiteful, you know. It's it's it just seeps
sim will polarization into the event. Now I haven't said
haven't said that. I still guarantee you that Bad Bunny
(26:08):
performance will get well over one hundred million viewers, probably more.
And in fact, I think this counter programming now is
going to make people want to watch by Mouney, meaning
more so in my opinion, if you're trying to get
folks to not watch Bad Bad Bunny, this might have
This may have the opposite effect, honestly, because not only
it's gonna have people watching in the country, but also
(26:29):
outside of the country, Mean Moore, Now, Bad Mouney is.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Huge, guys.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I don't think I'm not a fan, but Bad Bunny's
huge outside of America and the Super Bowl and the NFL
is positioning itself to becoming a global entity, not just
American entity.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
So we need to understand that.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
NFL is starting to promote themselves in London and Ireland
and all the Germany and Mexico and Brazil, they're opening
this thing now the NFL. While it is called the
National Football League. It's starting to become a worldwide phenomenon.
So folks in their feelings about this.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You better get over it, brotherly, because you know, fit
in and.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Fit out at this point again, I might magic y'all
for doing this, because I get it. That's till you
get it. It's an original concept, but at the same
time it comes off as petty. This petty you know,
you know, for a record, if you don't want to
watch it or watch it, every right to watch not
to watch it. I'm not a bad Money fan personally.
I'll watch it. I'm not a bad Money fan personally,
(27:27):
you know. So I rather I remember rather Sematalica play.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But that's just my opinion. You know. They made a decision.
That's it. So anyway, that's it for me.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
On this date, uh, October ninth, twenty five for the
Friday podcast, Yes Go Giants.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
