(00:00):
Sports you Christoper Media dot Net.Surprise, we're back. I'm Chris,
I'm Rich, I am the iceman. What's the last time we did
a showers like March? Well,of course we had to come back for

(00:22):
the draft, yeah, which we'llget. I mean there's there's a few
other stories, oh, for sure. The draft definitely top of mind today.
This is posted, the draft willbe happening. Uh and uh,
I'm thinking that. I don't know. I haven't looked read any mock drafts
yet. It's fun, but I'mthinking for as far as for our home

(00:43):
team here at least, uh,for me, lines need a receiver.
They have this new quarterback and allthese draft picks and no one to throw
the fucking ball to. It isnow the end of April. Who is
our number one receiver? If it'sif it's Tyrell Williams, I'm gonna jump
off a building. Your number onereceivers, your tight end. Okay,

(01:08):
I mean, seriously, it tJ. Hockley. Isn't he like pretty
much the best receiving a person inthe receiving gore on the Lions at the
moment right now. Yeah, MarvinJones is gone. Gala Day is gone.
Who who amongst you the Detroit Lions, hey or all? When you

(01:34):
shove the mic down the front ofyour pants, just so you know,
it'll make a lot of noise,but it won't blow you, so damn
it. Um well, I mean, dude, they tried. Detroit tried
to There's stories here locally Troy triedto trade up to number four swap picks
with basically uh Atlanta and they wereasking too much, which is kind of

(01:55):
ironic considering over the years Detroit's fleaceda few of teams never really did much
with it. I mean, we'llfind out what happens with out of the
Matt Stafford trade, but the theMike what was uh Roy Roy Williams trade
when they end up getting out ofthat and they pretty much got what four
picks? Hey, there rumors forwho is on a trading block. I'll

(02:16):
fucking take him. At this point. We need somebody Antonio Brown and come
back. Buck signed him yesterday,So come in here, hey, Julio
Jones, get you down the field. T J. Hockinson, get you
in the fuck and get you atouchdown in the red zone. But come
on, fantasy footballers, we haveto put the the the the caveat on

(02:36):
Julio Jones. He gets you downthe field when he's healthy. That's that's
that's been Julio's downfall. Wed howmany years have we done fantasy football in
this show? Four now five four? I had him for two seasons when
he put up points. Oh yeah, he put up big points. But
I'm gonna say, like easily seventypercent of the season. He was like,

(02:58):
this is one of the top guys, an average motherfucker. Yeah,
he's also boomer. It's like,yeah, he's boom or bust. He's
never he's not always healthy. Yeah, but we don't have anybody I know.
I'll take them. Well, we'relaw your role, Pelsberry. You
need a line that if you havean all star receiving corps, if Jared

(03:23):
Golf doesn't have time to throw theball, who gives a fuck you can
catch. That's what they're a lotof the quote unquote experts here, football
experts in Detroit are just pounding thatdrum. We got to get protection.
We got to get protection if wecouldn't get it with Stafford with this line,

(03:43):
and we've lost pieces to this line. What makes you think we're gonna
fucking get it with golf, Andit's like, I get what you're saying,
but how long are you planning onfucking keeping golf around for this rebuild?
But it's not just Jared Golf.This has been a problem since Barry
Man. Dude, I ain't talkingabout twenty five thirty years ago, because
I don't give a fuck about itright now. I'm talking about right now.

(04:09):
Has been a problem then, thiswas a problem now, this will
be a problem in the future.You have to get an offensive line that
can give your quarterback time. Idon't care who's in the back throwing the
passes. I don't care who's catchingthem. If they don't have time to
run the play, they're not goingto make any yards. At that point.
You need somebody like Megatron and Staffordto throw it up to him and

(04:31):
him go get it, because youdon't have time for anything else. You
don't have time to make a runningplay, you can't make a hole,
you can't be a balanced offense,and then you're easy pickets for any type
of even half a good defense.The amount of or lack of amount a

(04:51):
hundred yard rushing games. Since Barry'sretired for the Lions tells you all you
need to know period that in thestory. Okay, that offensive line has
always been fucking suspect for the lasttwenty years. I mean, and granted
it didn't help when you had fuckingmister Cheese and wine fucking Herrington back there,
but I mean, dude, uh, Kitna won the great quarterback.

(05:16):
But he's a tough quarterback. Stafford'sa tough motherfucker. Despite being a puffy,
high voice motherfucker, He's a toughdude. I mean, he had
a dislocated shoulder and finished a fuckinggame and came back and won the game
on top of it. He definitelyhas uh excuse me, he definitely has.
You know, his first couple ofyears, his you know, his
nickname around here was mister Glass.He definitely uh has done a lot to

(05:42):
get rid of that rep I mean, that's no longer when you when you
say that about him, now thatyou're you're referring to his early career,
it's definitely not what his current states. So I will give him credit there.
He definitely toughened up. Yeah,and you gotta remember he's in his
early thirties and he's been in theleague for Levin fucking one is being twelve
season or something. Dude, whatwas he twenty twenty one when he came

(06:03):
into the league. I mean,dude, he was young. He was
young. He came out early,so he was younger than most and then
you had to speed in the NFL. I'm surprised more fucking guys that leave
and enter the draft early don't endup on the sideline fucking riding the bench
for three four years until they finallysay fuck it, I can't I can't

(06:23):
do it anymore. Like seriously,dude, I mean I talk to any
college buddy who's went from college tothe pros, and what they always say,
the speed and the strength of theguys is leaps and bounds above what
it was in college. Oh.I mean, just if you just buy
the numbers, absolutely, how manycollege teams are there, how many college
players are there, and how manyactually go pro? Oh? Absolutely,

(06:46):
there's one hundred and twenty college footballteams. I think they're allowed to have
close to one hundred people on eachteam. There's two hundred and what fifty
three spots? Yeah, so thedraft, so you're only getting the cree
of the cream of the cream ofthe cream that end up in the NFL.
So yeah, you're talking motherfuckers whohits you like, be like you
and I getting hit by a fuckingyou know, blather and in the fucking

(07:10):
middle of the road. You knowhumans who like that. I mean,
look, here's the deal, becauseI don't want to spend no fucking a
large amount of time talking about theLions draft because young Lions fans get excited,
this is your super Bowl. Butunderstand, the minute you go on
the clock, you might as welljust go fucking stick your dick in the
fucking cheese grater and get it overwith because if you want to feel pain,

(07:30):
that'd be less painful than watching thedraft. Because what they're going to
do. First of all, whatthe fuck are they doing? Is this
a retool, a rebuild, orare they continuing on with a quick changeover
at quarterback? Because I've heard fromthis organization from from official statements and unofficial,

(07:53):
off the record fucking statements, allthree things. And if they go
in there and they start drafting fuckingreceivers but they can't keep sucking golf upright,
what fucking good does that do?No, go, they're going there
and they fucking draft offensive line heavyand get golf protection, but he has
no one to throw to except forHockinson. Then the usual suspects are gonna

(08:16):
come out and cry. So thisis this is what I'm saying. If
this is a rebuild, fucking sayit that way, we can fucking go
watch our backup team for the nexttime, so you know where to put
our expectations. Yeah, and bythe way, you know, and I
also heard Ice. I heard getssuper Bowl ring and it's y'all Lions fans.
I'm the same, what mister Tampafan. That's I'm saying. It's

(08:39):
it's if you get the Super Bowlring and all of a sudden it's y'all
Lions fans. Hey, I've beena Bucks fans, sucking Lions country since
the mid nineties, man, sosince I moved back here in ninety four.
So I mean, you know,hey, it's a rare opportunity to
give you shit. I mean,they're not even my third choice team,

(09:01):
like Flex for my team, myAFC teams like the Ravens, you know.
And then it's like, oh man, well, Jacksonville does have nice
looking uniforms. You're talking to somebody. I have not watched the Lions game
in two seasons. I just redzone it the whole Sunday now because I'm
tired. You just you get toforty and it's just like you can't take

(09:24):
it anymore. Like I'm not watchingthis over and over week after week.
No. If you know what,they get into red zone, they do
good. If hell if it's abrand new Lions team, I'll see him
a fucking awful lot, because it'llbe in the red zone a lot.
I'm just not doing it anymore.You know, they they get to the

(09:45):
I mean even getting eight and ohto their bye week, they go undefeated
to their bye week, I wouldstill be I don't know. That's that's
how much just it's it's it's gonnaknow what people in a bad relationship must
feel like. You just go backand you just keep getting let down.
You go back and just keep gettinglet down. You just finally, I'm
done, dude, I'm done.I'll see you when I see Allions.

(10:05):
Well it's dude, remember what wasit two thousand and six or seven?
I think it was had to betwo thousand and six. They went seven
and one going into the bye andthen they fucking missed the playoffs. I
think while we were doing this show, they had a collapse like that,
and I think I even called it. Didn't they had something. They ended

(10:28):
up missing the bye week, theyended up the last game of the season,
they ended up missing the playoffs.They ended up I think they went
like eight no to the bye weekand ended up ended up going seven and
nine or something or something. Theyended up like, yeah, they do
it all the fucking time. Imean, look, you don't have the
Lions as an organization, do nothave the core of players a team like

(10:52):
Tampa Bay fucking does to where theycan just go, well, the golf
is not going to be your ticketto the playoff offs. I just don't
believe that. And I think Ithink what Lions fans really need to fucking
do, even though they don't wantto, and y'all are long suffering.
I believe me. I suffer byproxy because I gotta listen to y'all during

(11:13):
the season. But it's like,dude, just fucking swallow and go start
a fucking rebuild. And like Isaid, hey, if you don't want
to watch fucking a team struggling througha rebuild, get red zone for the
next two seasons. We'll see,We'll see at the beginning of year three.
And I will say this to you. Their ice to talk about they

(11:35):
need a defense. Golf has beenThey had the best defense in the league
for how many years, and hecan't get it done. Really, I'm
really not optimistic about Jared Goff,even if they do show up the defense.
I'm not optimistic about Golf at all, not even a little bit.
He had the best defense, hehad a hell of an offense, and
he still failed. I mean,he went to the show, but couldn't

(11:56):
get her done with the team hehad on the Rams. Dude, It's
it's like Tampa Bay's first Super Bowl. Other than Rich, nobody knows who
the fucking quarterback was. I meanhe had when g was Girly, when
Girly was worth having. Well,that's what I'm saying. It put name
here on quarterback and that and anybodycould do it with that team. But

(12:18):
yeah, there was Jared Golf andhe couldn't get it done. He did
run into the football robot though,that is the Tom Brady Trump three thousand.
Well, I mean, dude,it's look, you don't need uh
a fucking Hall of Fame, firstball ballot Hall of Fame quarterback to win
a fucking Super Bowl, Trent Dilford. I mean looking at you, Trent

(12:41):
Dilford, Brad Johnson, Joe Blanco, you know, Eli Manning, Uh?
I was be honest. Those youknow that that that Bears team that
everybody talks up. They talk aboutthat defense. Are you really talking about
bicmahon? You know what I'm saying, Like nobody really talked about it.

(13:05):
What did he do before and afterthat season? I could not tell you
another offensive player on that team otherthan McMahon and Walter Witness. That's true,
and sometimes at fullback Refrigerator Pa,I can't tell you another Chris,
I love you, man, fuckyou. I was like six. That

(13:35):
is funny, though, I cantell you their offensive player like I forgot.
I just forget about Peyton. Iforget he was a running back.
It's what I We just lost bothlisteners in Chicago, right. They both
went to get their weird hot dogswith a pickle on them. They're like,

(13:56):
I'm done with their ship and turnedit off and he seeds under fucking
bun Like, what the fuck?Oh man? But here's the thing,
though, with the eighty five Bearsin their defense, it was just domination
doesn't cover it. It was suffocating. That defense was suffocating. And you

(14:18):
saw it two other times with TampaBay and Baltimore, but other than that,
you ain't really seen it. Well. I mean, you can go
back to like you look at Namethand his Super Bowl win. He didn't
do anything spectacular by today's standards,the original he really didn't do anything spectacular
by late sixties NFL standards. Hehad a very like I would say,

(14:43):
below average game for a quarterback inthat time period. And yet that him
running off the field with his fingerin the air after winning. That's one
of the iconic fucking pieces of videoand pitchers in the NFL, in NFL
history, just also Hall of FameAlpha Male Ship. He called, see
they're gonna win, and they didand they weren't even favored, No,

(15:05):
not at all. Like yeah,but I mean, I mean, dude,
anybody that wears pantyhose and fur coatsand still pulls ass and the brothers
are like, damn, that's acold ass hockey, you know what I'm
saying. Yo, he got thebell crow? What were you going?
What are you gonna say there,no defense can definitely win you a championship.

(15:31):
One hundred percent offense can definitely winyou a championship. When you're mediocre,
you're just gonna make the playoffs.But when you're down on both sides
of the ball, you're just acheck. Yes, victory here and forever,
now forever. That's where Detroit isand and a lot of other teams
for that matter. All right,well, Cincinnati looking at you, let's

(15:52):
get all fucking Detroit first pick overall? Is this even a fucking question now,
Trevor the Longs. I think he'sgonna get a haircover in the draft
or's that like his his stick?Oh? I think he's gonna keep it
at least first I'm gonna call hisass Sunshine from remember the Titans. I
mean, dude, first of all, Uncle Urban Aaron Hernandez happened on his

(16:15):
watch. So if he's got afucking grooming standard, but you can go
murder motherfucker's. Yeah, there's alittle bit of a problem there. I
tell him, I tell him,suck my ass. But that's just me,
you know, That's why I don'tsucceed in like, but you can't
do this oh you just you justdared me too, huh, double dog

(16:36):
dared me. Huh. Anyways,uh yeah, everybody pretty much Trevor Lawrence
first overall. I mean it's it'sI mean, it's a given, right,
That's what brought Uncle Urban back,right, yep. Yeah, I
can't think of anybody that people wantmore than Trevor. All right, so
now the Jets almost let me seehere, Yeah, I think let's see

(17:02):
Vinnie Eiler Kiper. Yeah, prettymuch every time, che everybody's got him
going second to the Zach Wilding orZach Wilson going uh second to the Jets,
which is didn't the Jets just geta quarterback in the first round like
two seasons now? Donald? Butthey send him, they send him pack
and he's now going to be forthe Panthers. Yeah, so yeah,

(17:29):
good luck with that, Jets.That's what kind of cracks be up about
the draft. The same you know, the same people are at the top
of the list for the first overallpicks and slatch and they make these wild
and crazy hail Mary type picks likeSam Donald and the other draft with Chicago

(17:52):
trading all the way up to getMitch Jubinsky and you remember Sam Donald's NFL
debut housing the Lions on National TVon Monday Night Football, Yep, And
I laughed my ass off because,well, maybe we're seeing something special.
I'm like, he played the Lions, right, Yeah, it's like playing

(18:14):
Redford Union. Dude. Stop ifthe impress Jets are you're playing and you're
you're looking at the mirror, cutit out and it's a it's a fucking
foggy mirror, dad. Right.But yeah, pretty much most of the
drafts got Trevor Wilson going first,Wilson or Trevor Lawrence going first, Aac
Wilson going second, Mac Jones goingthird. Uh, Kuiper because it's Kuiper

(18:41):
and he's always got to fucking throwtrades in like he knows what people are
gonna fucking do. He's got SanFrancisco via Miami from Houston selecting third.
Overall, he's gotta be art excuseme, He's gonna be the odd one
out and not the trade thing.But he says he's they're gonna take mac
Jones out of the Ohio state.Now Here's what's interesting to me is that

(19:07):
because it's Ohio state, I've heardrumblings about Matt Jones, and there's been
like apparently opinion pieces, which Imean, isn't that pretty much unless you're
reporting the game, well all youdo in sports, But anyways, that's
beside the point saying that, likehis football IQ is bottom of the barrel,

(19:30):
his work ethic is garbage. Andit's like to the point where,
like, you know, Ohio Statecoaching staff are coming out going, we
don't know who the fuck you're talkingabout, but this ain't the guy that
we've fucking seen first in and lastout of the you know, of the
of of you know, reviewing filmin the fucking locker room on the field.

(19:51):
Doesn't sound like a bad work ethicto me. So I'm kind of
wondering if he's gonna out of thetop three, if those are the top
three that go according to all Kuyper, Lawrence, Wilson, Jones in that
order. I'm kind of thinking Jonesprobably hurts me to say this as a
Michigan fan, but whatever, Ithink he's probably got the biggest upside.
And I say that because Trevor Lawrenceis not going to an ideal situation,

(20:14):
and neither is Zach Wilson. Periodend the story. San Francisco's what one
season removed from a Super Bowl appearance. Yes, they seem like they're a
little bit more ready for a plugin play situation. Whereas Trevor Lawrence and
Zach Wilson, you're going to bethere a while developing that team around you.
You'll will find out what kind ofleaders they are. Jones for me,
isn't that good of a quarterback?And if you want to look at

(20:37):
the history of Ohio State, whathas their quarterbacks done? I mean,
you got you know, the runningbacks that are right, Their defense do
all right, the receivers do allright. The quarterbacks don't do all right.
How they seem to be a systemand not a player, I mean,
I got you. But they've alsohad three fucking head coaches and you

(20:59):
know, fifteen years, and withevery coach, they're not just fucking implementing
the previous coaches system, especially whenyou got guys like fucking you know,
Captain sweater Vests and Uncle Urban.Those are fucking narcissists, dude. They're
not gonna fucking bow down and fuckingrun another coach's system. They're gonna go
and implement their own system. Andyou better buy the fuck in or else

(21:22):
you could pretty much just fucking walkyourself to the transferportal. No, I
got you, But I mean theystill earned the college playoffs almost every year?
Or right at it? Who OhioState? Oh? Absolutely? So?
Who was it before before him?It was Fields right about taking a
number two? According to Milk Hiper, No are you talking about who play

(21:45):
about Ohio coquart Ohio State? OhioState quarterbacks before Jones? Was Fields?
Right? Okay, I can't remember. I think it was, And I
just I'm trying to remember remember thelast Ohio State quarterback that was a big
deal, and I can't, offthe cuff, I can't remember any Johnny

(22:06):
Utah, Yeah, and I'm blownus. If he hadn't blown his knee
out, he'd won the national championship. What that's what he told Patrick Swayzey.
What I'm laughing because even that wasthirty years ago. All right?
Hey, hey, Johnny Utah,how was Elvis kirback to play against?

(22:30):
You know, since we're talking aboutancient fucking history. No, I dude,
look man, I don't know.I just I got a feeling out
of all the quarterbacks, he's themost NFL ready at the moment. Now,
I'm not saying that that means it'sgoing to translate to the best career,
but I think he's the most readyout of those three to hit the
ground running. And I definitely thinkhe's more fucking ready to hit the ground
running than Trey fucking Lance. Andsupposedly he's gonna be the fourth off the

(22:52):
fucking board going to Atlanta. Soif that's the case, Mattie Ice,
if you didn't know that, ifyou didn't know that, the fucking Stopwatch
was clicking on your career, nowyou do. I don't know. Even
people they thought we're gonna be hugehits, We're kind of a bust.
So it's not really a hot marketright now for quarterbacks per se, because

(23:17):
dude, they got almost every mockdraft has five quarterbacks going in the first
ten. Yeah, but they're notreally outstanding. Whoa, oh my god,
quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence is about it. That's about all you get.
See now, I will say,I'm looking at the PF the Pro Football
Talk mock draft, there's only twoin the top ten. It's it's the
it's the top two. All right. Let's see here Kiper's got one Lawrence

(23:42):
two Wilson three, Jones six,Lance tenth Justin Fields. That's his dame,
Justin Fields. So he's got twoquarterbacks from Ohio State going one to
three, one in ten p ft as Mac Jones going. He'd be

(24:02):
the next quarterback off the board goingyet fifteen to the Patriots. That'd be
crazy at that end. Here's Imean, I'm looking at the you know,
Kiper's latest mock draft here, andI'm like, wait a minute,
okay, So he has Dolphins takenthe tight end at four, Kyle Pitts
Bengals taken a tackle. See well, at five, Falcon's taking tray La.

(24:26):
It's a quarterback, Lions seventh pickwide receiver Jamar Chase. Please,
I mean okay, so four goingto the Steelers. These are wildly different
mock drafts, but I mean,I'm looking at this and it's like,
okay, So if the Lions wantedto trade up to four, who were

(24:47):
they trying to get before someone elsegot a ton another tight end? Really,
you're you're your top two receivers aregonna be tight ends. By way,
I can't read. Justin Fields isnumber three in this draft, I
mean idiot, but still maybe maybemaybe there, maybe maybe they're trying to
get him. Remember you got Speelman. Behind the scenes, you got an

(25:07):
Ohio State guy. Maybe he's like, we nabbed that quarterback. Maybe because
we've been didn't where we all agreedgolfs Golf's rent a QB, this is,
this is a yeah, he's he'sa he's a band aid. He's
not the the permanent fix. Maybethey try to get Justin Fields. I
mean, it would be a fuckingit'd be a ball or move on their

(25:30):
part, because it's not a movethat fucking Detroit does. Detroit does shit
like you know, sends off there, you know, ejects a quarterback usually,
and then you have to sit aroundand wait while they fucking plug in
back up in in perennial third stringquarterbacks for two years, waiting for a
fucking high enough draft pick and agood enough quarterback to pick. They don't
do. They don't do what alot of the successful teams do, which

(25:52):
is draft a quarterback, sit thembehind your fucking current quarterback, and let
them get fucking seasoned on the bench. Come out Paula Rodgers. That doesn't
happen I mean, because think aboutit. Look, look what happened with
Harrington. It went Harrington to JeffGarcia. He was a free agent signing
Kitna. There's your two years offucking waiting. Well, no, because

(26:14):
Garcia was supposed to that was Marucci'sguy. He was he wanted him from
San Francisco and the minute he gothere, so you can't really count that.
So yeah, you got Kittna anduh Orlovsky and then boom, there's
your two years. And then theyfucking went, oh in sixteen and pick
Stafford. So what I'm saying,I just I don't know what they're fucking
doing here. What are you buildingfor? This is what's irritating. This

(26:37):
is this is why I hated thenew Star Wars movies. You can't just
go we're gonna make Star Wars moviesand make it up as you go along.
Okay, you have to have afucking plot, all right, Jesus
Christ. Even five year olds willplot out the fucking short story they're going
to turn into the kindergarten teacher,you know. I mean, I mean,
now, to be fair, Goddamn it, why why am I

(26:59):
wired this to be fair? Imean, think about it though, new
ownership kinda as far as who's pullingthe strings ultimately from top new GM,
new coach, So should we maybenot be holding their feet to the fire
of the mistakes of the people ofthe past. I mean, this was

(27:25):
like being a Lions fan, youjust look for anything to grab onto.
I'll say this, I what I'mhearing from Silla forward is the right things.
And I've said this before on theshow. She seems to be intelligent
enough to where she hired a generalmanager and surrounds herself with people advising her

(27:48):
who will be honest and not benot put their own self fucking interest before
what they think is best for theteam. AKA. When they offered Spielman
the GM position, he said,I'm not ready to be a GM.
That would be a huge mistake foryour organization. That it takes a special
kind of leader to surround yourself withsomeone who's going to talk truth to power

(28:11):
and not flip out about it.And if she's that type of fucking leader,
maybe you guys will turn a corner. But right now, I mean,
granted, we won't know until thatfucking first picks off the board for
the Lions, but it seems likethey're just kind of like runnerless. I
will say, what is what is? What is your theme of this draft?
What are you trying to improve on? Are you taking best available?

(28:36):
Because if that's the case, dothey fit the scheme of the new fucking
head coach? Does the coach evenknow what scheme he wants? You know
what I'm saying. I mean,there's so many fucking questions here. But
it's like, I just I didn'tget the golf thing. I got it
from the aspect of Stafford. Heain't gonna win here. Let's get something
for him that we don't just pissaway. You know, all the all

(28:57):
the all the fucking time and effortwe invested in him. Not okay,
you got that back and you gota little bit of relief on the salary
cap hit. Beyond that, golfisn't the answer. I don't think anyone
feels that he is, except forhim. Not to talk out of both
sides of my mouth about the Lionshere, but I will say the Stafford
move was encouraging as well as shitcanning Patricia before the end of the season,

(29:21):
at least for me, because it'sthey were a couple indicators patchself on
the back, Ice, because thisis where I'm going to agree with you
here. They were a couple ofindicators of maybe sl is a thing of
the past, because in the past, I think Patricia finishes that season and
Ago just sell fucking football tickets,right, and then you know too,

(29:42):
and then you know the same thingwith Stafford. They at least had the
foresight to be like, all right, son's getting close to the horizon,
go somewhere you can win. Allright, take you and your big gass
contract elsewhere. Although they just tradedbig gas contracts, but the fact that
they made those moves instead of justgoing, ah, whatever, we'll figure

(30:02):
it out by next season was encouraging. And what they got for him,
they got a fucking mint. Butbut what makes me, what balances me
out is what Rich was talking about. I don't see any kind of playing
Maybe it's not for us to seethat. You know, good leaders don't
show their hands all the time.So I'll give you that point there,

(30:25):
Ice. I mean, look,that's why I said once again, we're
not going to know until the draftis ultimately finished. But I think we're
going to have a really good ideaby the time the first round pick is
in and he's wearing a hat forthe Lions. What direction they're going in?
P FT, says this linebacker.Well, I mean, I'm not

(30:48):
gonna lie to you. I'm notgonna be mad if I'm a Lions fan
if they went heavy picking, youknow, if they picked offensive, defensive
line and linebackers. I mean,yes, I know you don't have a
receiving corps, but do you thinkgoing out and blowing your fucking the money
you have in cap space on abig name free agent is going to be

(31:12):
the would get you over the hump? I don't. I mean, like
when Brady, even when Brady joinedthe Bucks, I was like, I
don't know if it's gonna get himover the hump, and he kind of
fucking pole vaulted over the hump,you know what I'm saying. Like,
so I was wrong on that shit. No, No, Brady didn't get
him over the hump. It wasBrady Brown GROUNK. We're not yeah,

(31:37):
and hey, dipshit, all thoseguys would have been there if it wasn't
for Brady going there, right,That's what I'm saying. It wasn't one
guy going there. So you haveyour point. Coming into Detroit and picking
your receiving corp and putting one goodreceiver on the field is not going to
get you over the hump, LikeBrady didn't get you over the hump,

(31:59):
but everybody together get you over thehost sporte Qustopher media dot net. Qustopher
Media dot net to Sportgee. However, Brady touche. But Brady's leadership though,
I mean, there's been plenty ofexamples through the years, though of

(32:21):
plenty of stacked teams where you know, everybody, you know, we just
talked about them, the goff ramsright where they're stacked at every position.
But you had a shit leader ofthe offense, and it wasn't enough.
You need somebody who can come inand can use and can use those tools
and knows trust me, they wonthat Super Bowl. Is it wasn't it

(32:45):
wasn't Brady to god when all dayit wasn't Brady to Evans all day,
it was Brady to the it wasBrady too. We're gonna score, right,
I mean, because who who werethe stars of that game? They
got all the all the cast offs, right, Antonio Brown, Leonard Fournette,
you know, all the guys whowere washed up, and it wasn't
Brady. It was just Brady takingadvantage of the opportunities, knowing the strengths

(33:06):
of all the tools that he had. You need a good you know,
someone's gotta You need a good leaderof that offense, right, I mean
Tampa Bay because who's the hell isScotty Who's the hell of Scotty Miller?
They had that receiving corps for twofucking years with Captain krab Legs, right,
And if for fantasy football it wasgreat, but for real football,
if you're a Tampa fan, youmissed the Yeah, you missed the playoffs

(33:30):
both years. It's like Tony theTiger. If if Battle Creek blew up,
it's not so great right now?Yeah, it was great to have.
It was great to have Godwin andEvans and fantasy football. But yeah,
if if I'm like rich, whatdidn't they go seven and nine the
year before Brady showed up? Exactly? That's why I was like, I'm
just hoping for a nine and sevenand a playoff appearance and I'm happy.

(33:52):
Anything else great. So you needyou need a good you need a good
leader behind center. Sorry, I'mdone. I'll take Tom's balls off of
my chin. Now. Well youknow, but once again, you're absolutely
right, because what did Brady doin the Super Bowl. Hey, we
know they're gonna fucking double cover Gronk, So Brad's getting the ball. He
did what Brady learned a lesson.It took. He seems like he learned

(34:14):
it very quickly from from the Patriots. Maybe he learned it in Michigan,
who knows. I don't know,But like Trent Dilford when when he was
interviewed about his win Super Bowl win, he's like, it took me a
couple of seasons, more than acouple into my career to finally be to
think, fuck the quote unquote superstars. I'm getting the ball to who is

(34:39):
open, and we're going to fuckingscore because I only need to put up
twelve to fourteen points in his defensewill win the game for me. So
I'm just I'm moving the ball downfieldand I don't give a fuck who gets
it, best player or not.You're open, you get it. And
I think that that's that's an attitudethat I mean. Let's I had a

(35:00):
superstar here in Detroit. Brady hadfucking Moss how many fucking Super Bowls did
they win? Did Brady win withMoss? And and Magatron win with fucking
Stafford. I would like to amendyour statement. For a few years you
had the superstar in Detroit. Youdidn't just have a superstar for you had
the best. You had Randy Mossthree point zero in Detroit for at least

(35:24):
two seasons. Like he was itas far as receivers in the league went.
And you want Dick, you wantnothing, You want jack shit,
chriss. Brandy Moss was never inDetroit. No, God, damn it.
Do you not understand? Like similarin metaphor seeing Calvin Johnson, dare

(35:45):
said, thank you for ruining mydelivery. Calvin Johnson. Remember Calvin Johnson?
Do you remember, sweetness? Okay, I'm just checking. He was
six. Once again, my chanceto give your shit. You had the

(36:05):
Randy Moss some people when you're sixyears older, so you're still smearing shit
on walls, you know what I'msaying, Like, don't anyway place you
had the right You had Randy Mossof the time. Is that better for
you? Yes? And he healone was good. But the problem is
Megatron was iffy. He was fiftyfifty under pressure. I disagree with that.

(36:30):
I think I think under pressure dudewas double teamed all the time.
Most of that's kept. I mean, all these catches he's making, it
isn't really double all the time.Because when you played the Lions, that's
who When you played the Lions,that's who you planned for. Man,
are you trying to say dude wasdouble team more than Riley Reid? Yes,

(36:54):
that's bad. I mean just thatwas he was our weapon, man,
So I mean, that's that's allyou planned for. You know how
many times was spectacular too. Don'tlook now, that's what you're asking them
to do again. Get you abig, huge name at receiver, and

(37:15):
what has that to do for theline. How about just a name?
All right? How about not thirdstring for Sandy or whatever the Chargers the
last three years, that is ourbest receiver right now? The fuck not?
Just like Rich was saying, throwit to who's open. I don't
give a ship what their name is. Tom Brady has a record in the

(37:36):
Super Bowl, a very winning recordby doing just that you've called it.
He had Randy Moss, he hadGronkowski. But other than that, who
the fuck did he have West,Welker, Edelman, people you never heard
of before Tom Brady. He didthe exact same thing in Tampa Bay.
Who the hell is Scotty Miller?Nobody knew Scotty Miller until Brady got there.

(38:00):
He's someone with a super Bowl ring? Is who he is? Yeah,
you get five guys in front ofyour quarterback that says, look,
they're not touching you. Makes youryour quarterback comfortable and you look at your
patterns and you go through your progression. Who's open he is? Throw the
fucking ball. I don't care hisname, and that's how Tom Brady played.

(38:23):
That's how he's seven and three ina fucking super Bowl. So if
the Lions want to follow that,I'm down with that. Do that.
Get your comfort quarterback comfye, makesure he's protected and could go at least
through two or three of his progressions. Find the open man, I give
two ships what his name is,and he cast the ball, throw it.

(38:45):
I'll tell you what man. Iffucking golf comes in this season and
for whatever reason they may like,he has more than a passing hand in
getting them into the fucking playoffs.Oh God's sports talk radio and Detroit's gonna
be insufferable a lot of years ago. By the way, I'm just saying,

(39:07):
y'all don't know how to be happy. On sports talk radio here in
Detroit. I remember like two RedWings Cup victories and people calling and bitching
the day after they won the Cup, and I'm like, what are you
bitching about? They won the fuckingchampionship. They won the last game played
that year. That means that's good, be happy? Right the fuck are

(39:30):
We're gonna keep this team together aftertwo thousand and two and oh well,
the Chelary Caps gonna fuck us twothousand and eight, and then they went
back to the Stanley Cup finals intwo thousand and nine. Yeah, granted
they lost, but still it's like, y'all just bitch. You just don't
you don't know how to be happywith the win, right, Enjoy It's

(39:51):
it's it's sports talk listeners in Detroitbecause there's we we have it. We
have a saying that goes back atleast as long as I've been alive.
The two most popular people in Detroitat any moment the Lions backup quarterback and
the Red Wings backup goalie. Becauseeverybody's after every game, you can count
on people flooding phone lines. Weneed to start our backup quarterbacker, backup

(40:14):
goalie. Yeah, manager of theTigers, it's probably also in that category.
Yeah. Now now, I mean, well, shit, I to
kind of pivot. There's there's arumor floating around that al Avla doesn't have
much longer as GM and there Iand uh there there eye in THEO of

(40:37):
Red Sox and whoa hold on allthe blood just rushed from my head to
my dick. Wait, are youfucking serious? Theo epstein? Yeah,
yeah, I had some running aroundto do yesterday and for about an hour
I was in the car and formost said hour they were talking about it.

(40:57):
Apparently it's like it's it's one ofthose like, you know, anonymous
sources within the organization. They're like, we're not we're not comfortable with naming
the person at this moment. Ifa few things play out that they've said,
then they said, go ahead andname me. And I'm like,
I don't give a fuck who saidit. I just wanted to be true.
Oh my god, because my fathersgot to Midas touch. Oh yeah,

(41:22):
I have no words. Just putthe mic by my dick and let
it do the talking Jesus Christ.I mean Elvlla's best move is the last
move that he's made is getting ajHench to come here. And I think
that if that Astros thing never happens, he doesn't come here. Oh God,

(41:42):
no, dude, not at all, dude, not at all.
That had been like if provert nevergot fucking popped with fourteen fucking grahams of
cocaine is underwear at the border,he'd have been a red Wing for life.
Probably, Yeah, I mean,dude, dude, was like,
there's just certain things that, like, yeah, through pure fuckery end up
where you're at. And I mean, look, man, cheating is part

(42:07):
of baseball. People, Oh that'san excuse, Okay, well, no,
it's the truth. Cheating is partof baseball. Cheating has always been
part of baseball. If you getcaught, it's illegal to do in the
game. If you don't, wellyou didn't get caught. That's pretty much
our baseball police is itself. So, I mean stealing signs, tipping pitches,
someone figuring you know what, wasit the World Series in the fifties,

(42:30):
the Giants had someone flashing lights outin center field because they were stealing
signs with the fucking pair of binocularsfrom the catcher and saying, hey,
this this, this pitch is coming. I mean this, this goes back
fucking one hundred plus years, man. I mean not just though I get
that they I know what they did, motherfucker. We don't need to go

(42:51):
back over it. I'm just no, no, I'm I'm saying for cheating
and well, it's not stealing signs, is bull I mean, it's the
bottom of the barrel. What aboutthat picture that had the fucking bomb on
his fucking faith then he put onthe ball. Remember that black guy who
had really dark spot Kenny Rogers twothousand and six World Series Game one had

(43:14):
pine tar and his glove that wason the ball. But then it comes
out that it was like thirty fivedegrees and you know, excuse me,
it's thirty five degrees out or somethingcrazy like that. And the vast majority
of pictures use something to help themwith grip when it's that cold out because

(43:35):
apparently their hands is go numb.And I'm like, okay, well,
is it against the rules or not, That's all that matters. That's all
I care about. Sammy Sosa corkingthe bat, how are you looking?
But no, dude, I mean, dude, we were kids. Remember
Gaylord Perry phil Niekro getting Gaylord Perryliterally had a nail file sticking out of
his back of his pocket in hisuniform. The umpire comes out and all

(44:00):
the umpires come to the mound,he and he. They're like, what's
in your back pocket? He literallyputs his hand in his back pocket,
throws the fucking nail file about fivefeet away and goes nothing. And they're
like, what the fuck did youjust though out your back pocket? You
stupid ass? Are you serious?There's five of us standing here, You're
on national TV? Are you fuckingserious right now? I mean, jesus,

(44:23):
dude, fucking read ball four.There was fucking enough phetamines floating around
clubhouses to fucking keep all the fuckingUtah toothless for fucking the rest of the
fucking humanities time on this planet.Yeah. So when when you go into
the vast majority of is there cheatingin Major League Baseball taking a couple of

(44:44):
signs or tipping pitches or however,The Astros came up with their plan to
do it very low on a totalpoll. I mean, look, man,
it's cheating. It was against therules. You got caught. People's
careers were fucking, if not ruined, definitely fucking poo pooed on. I

(45:06):
mean, dude, there was alot of people upset about Hinge coming here
as a manager of the Tigers,and I was like, I was happy
with Garden Higher, but but Covidfucking sent his ass packing. You know
what I'm saying after it, Like, I mean, he's what seventy pounds
overweight and diabetic. That's the fuckingthat's the combo that's putting people in the

(45:27):
hospital and killing them to this day. So I don't blame him for fucking
going out. I'm done, dude. I ain't risking my life to fucking
coach the Tigers out of here.It's the case, maybe, but I'm
not. Yeah, like teams,I might die to manage Yankees, red
size Cubs, uh, Cardinals.That's about it. Dude. Who would

(45:57):
want to go to California in themiddle of this last well Mounts? Man,
it sounds like a fucking hellscape onearth? Yeah? Yeah, wherever
again after this l Yeah? Ohgood, there's that too, but no,
man um, Yeah, dude,I mean, look, here's here's
the deal. Tiger's got to dosomething because I mean, they're see now,

(46:20):
this is this is the Tigers arethe antithesis of what's going on with
the Lions. I bitched that.I feel like the Lions don't have a
plan. I hope, and Iwould think that with the football minds that
they have at the head of thefucking that franchise, that they do have
a plan. Just Chris, likeyou said, a good leader doesn't play

(46:42):
poker with all their cards facing up, you know what I'm saying. I
mean, maybe they're keeping it closeto the vest for a reason, I
hope. So Tigers have laid outtheir plan. Their plan is very simple.
Build through the draft, bring acore group of guys up when you're
ready go sign was three four fuckingfree agents to get you over the hump,
A good bullpen guy, a goodtop of the rotation guy, and

(47:06):
a couple of veteran leaders for thefield who can swing a bat. That's
their plan. And I mean it'snot a bad plan because that's well what
the Astros kind of did me,isn't it. Yeah. I was gonna
say, one one person that reallydoesn't care about the whole cheating thing is
JV he got his ring fuck off. I think I remember hearing twenty thirteen

(47:30):
like, look out for the astros, man, look out for the air.
Their farm team is the best,like their farm system right now is
loaded. And then sure, rememberyou're saying that, like five years later,
all of a sudden boom, allof a sudden, Houston was just
the fucking team, man. Andlast year, before Corona hit, there
was fucking rumblings that Tigers have oneof the best fucking farm systems and are

(47:52):
projected to have one of the bestfarm systems that actually produces MLB players in
all of him. You know,of course we hit the truncated season last
year, and then well, whoknows if you'll get one hundred and sixty
two in this year. Stop fuckingthose Instagram models, guys, seriously put
the pussy off till after the endof the season. You can cheat on

(48:13):
your wife in November just as easyas you can cheat down her in fucking
April. Trust me. Well yeah, I mean, I mean, dude,
okay, theo Epstein a J Hinch, I mean, calm down,
Chris. Within three years, I'mtrying to think, I want to say

(48:36):
they're in the top five four farmsystem as pretty much according to everybody's ranking.
So if that's the case and weend up with those fucking pieces here
in Detroit, yeah oh yeah yeah. If I'm not seeing a playoff at
least a run meaningful games in Septemberin three years, something's went horrible,

(49:00):
be wrong behind the scenes. Like, I just can't imagine how it doesn't
happen. How long was fucking Epsteinthey fucking uh in Chicago before they fucking
turned it around? A year?Yeah, wun it like a year or
two? Was a year? Imean, it's crazy, dude. And
it's not like the Cubs were TheCubs weren't a small market team. If

(49:20):
she's lending money for decades since he'sleft, he's they've gone back to being
a pile of shit. So Imean, I mean, Boston ain't the
dominant team they were in the twothousands and early two thousand tens anymore.
He and in Boston, everywhere he'sgone he's had success. I feel like
Spike Lee right now, it's gotto be the shoes, It's got to

(49:44):
be the THEO. But yeah,I mean, hey, I'd be happy
with it because Ultimately, everybody's bitchingabout Hinch was fuck a cheater. He
was manager of a team that cheatin one World Series Epstein, Epstein.
Hily reason, he's good because theygot an open fucking check book. Uh
well, I'm gonna tell you what. People that own the Tiger's own little
Caesars. Yeah, they gonna openup a check book and guess what.

(50:08):
Houston cheated. But guess what.Uh, there's there's still there was still
a defensive side of the ball thatstill had to do their job. Those
batters still had to hit those pitches. I mean, it is what it
is. They just knew what wascoming. I saw. I'm not sure
when this clip was from what thecontext was, but they were asking,

(50:29):
uh, shit, fucking homeboy fromField of Dreams, Kevin Costner. They
were asking him about, you know, baseball in this and that, and
he was like, um, asfar as you know cheating in this and
that, He's like, it's that'spart of the game. He's like,
we we have the steroid error,we have the fucking the greeny error.

(50:51):
We got all this shit, andit's just like, I'm sorry, I
just lost coom to my train ofthought. Hi, yeah, give me
a few minutes, so you mightwant to edit that out. Sorry,
look at the time stamp edit thathole out. I said, someone walking
on me. I'm like, canI help you? Like I'm talking,
and I'm like, there's a personstanding here and I was alone in this

(51:12):
house two minutes ago. Anyways,I've completely lost my training thought reset.
Go ahead, guys. Well look, here's the thing about baseball. The
cheating scandal has chased a lot ofthe fair Weather fans away and made a
lot of the diehard fans mad.And then Major League Baseball does one of

(51:36):
the stupidest things they've could have done, and trying to get on the social
justice training and move their game outof Atlanta, Georgia costs the sitting millions
of dollars, which really pissed offpeople. What I like about the whole
thing, What I really like aboutthat whole thing is the NHL was like,

(51:57):
damn, sorry about your luck.Here beside, I gotta I got
a place over here, I gottaget to And all of a sudden,
now NHL is all the rage.Does that mean? What do you mean?
What does that mean? What dothey do? I don't understand NHL,
NHS all the rage, right,NHL comes in and is now all
over ESPN signs brand new contracts withTurner Network and is trying to get back

(52:20):
into the spotlight. Oh he's seenthe NHL don't give a shit about Atlanta.
They don't give a shit about Georgia. They're still doing business. No,
what I'm saying is the NHL don'tgive a shit about the MLB,
and they're trials and tribulation. Butwhile they're sitting there fucking up, I'm
trying to follow the bouncing ball inthis conversation. Role then follow it,
damn listen to me. Because theMLB is messing up and costing themselves fans

(52:45):
in coverage. The NHL is nowable to get back in the spotlight and
get back out on primetime television andget some of their fan base back.
I can hear you with the fanbase the MLB, but I don't,
not so much as the coverage becauseit definitely, I mean, we learned
to do the Trump administration. Imean, there's no such thing as bad

(53:07):
press anymore. That's just the thing. Now, it's still people talking about
the MLB. So I mean,it's it's it's it's it's probably put them
more top of mind than it wouldhave been. But I'm not on cable.
It has and it's what I'm tellingyou. But but we were talking
about people would rather talk about theNHL than they would the Major League Baseball.

(53:29):
I don'stand what Baseball is doing isthey're trying to please half of their
fan base while pissing off the otherhalf, and they're losing the battle.
I'm all for It's it's a nowin situation because the people they're trying to
please probably aren't sports fans exactly.And the people that are sports fans are
watching hockey, and the the peoplethat have to broadcast and talk about sports

(53:52):
would rather do it about the NHLthan Baseball because if they do it about
Baseball, they have to answer questionswas about their feeding Scandale didn't have to
answer questions about the All Star Game. The numbers will bear out your opinion
over time. I don't see theNHL overtaking the MLB in ratings anytime soon.
I thought the NHL was going completelyaway a year ago has and now

(54:16):
they were back on ESPN. Nowthey're on the Turner Networks TNT and TBS
we'll see. So I mean,dude, I mean, you gotta forgive
me. Man. You you havea bad You have a very bad habit
of taking how you feel and applyingthat to the rest of the world,
and it just don't it's not real, dude. No one's talking about hockey
here. My retort, they aretalking about baseball constantly, Earl. I

(54:39):
will tell you my retort to youabout what you're saying about the other in
all these places now would be theWNBA. Just because it's there, it
doesn't mean people are gonna watch it. Like the you could put the NHL
on nine different networks, but it'sif people aren't watching it, that's gonna
be. It's gonna be a onetime only con say, is it?

(55:00):
The numbers will bear out your opinionover time? There nice And what I'm
telling you, guys is I thinkthe numbers will prove me right here because
a lot of people don't want towatch baseball right now because of the best
stups they're having and the issues they'rehaving. So what are you gonna watch?
Oh, well, there's a hockeygame on. Let's watch hockey.

(55:21):
It's either that of the view,guys. I know a lot of people
that go fucking find something else todo, Like, I don't know,
cut their lawn, play with kids. I don't know anything besides fucking watch
hockey or the view. I mean, that's what I'm saying, dude,
Like, I love the enthusiasm.I hope you're right. Unfortunately, I
know that if if hockey starts totake off, it'll just get watered down

(55:43):
more because the only place it's goingto take off, where it's going to
matter would be here in the UnitedStates. That's what hockey wants. They
ain't fucking conquering South America anytime soon. No, they're not getting are not
overthrowing soccer in Europe by any fuckingmeans. Okay, I think you're going

(56:04):
to be fighting hockey games on theyou know, on the TVs at the
bars in the hood either, That'swhat I'm saying. Well, yeah,
I mean like their only choice orthe only chance, is to get bigger
in the States, and they areconvinced at the top of the NHL that
to be bigger in the States youhave to play more finesse, less contact,
and basically have a bunch of fuckingice skaters out there dancing around each

(56:27):
other. I mean, dude,I had a friend whose cousin plays in
a beer league here locally, andhe come over and he's a younger guy,
he's like in his mid to earlytwenties, whatever the fuck, and
we're talking and he's like, youknow, he starts talking all this,
you know, oh yeah, redWings, you know, draft picked from
earlier this year, and I'm like, I don't, I don't follow.
Yeah. Ship. He's like,yeah, but you know so much about
hockey from back in the day.I'm like, yeah, because that's when

(56:50):
that was hockey. These prema donnasare danced around on the ice fucking scared,
you know, scared to touch eachother because they'll get a fifteen game
fucking suspension. And he's like,man, I keep hearing this, ship,
oh, back in the day,back in the day. And I
so, I whip on my phoneand I just pulled up Gretzky great goal
nineties. He was being hooked,he was being cross checked, slashed,

(57:15):
he was being slashed, and theytried to fucking trip him and he still
beat his way on his own throughfour fucking skaters and put the fucking puck
in the back of the net.Gretzky, all hundred and seventy pounds of
him. Okay, and these werefucking six foot six, two hundred and
seventy pound fucking behem. It's tryingto stop him. That's toughness and talent.

(57:39):
That's what hockey used to be.Now you just be able to have
to be able to dance around onyour fucking skates and look pretty. And
that's the end. Now, ifthey figure skate and hold a thick you're
good pretty much, dude. Andif that's my problem, that's the conundrum
here. If it gets bigger inthe United States, the game will get
watered down, which means I haveeven less incentive to watch it. I'm

(58:00):
I'm I'm one of the people Iused to hate. I want I unless
it's really a game I'm really interestedin. I don't watch Hockey nuss's playoffs
because regular season games are just boringto me. Okay, skate around like
a bunch of ball arenas on iceand don't touch each other. Oh you
know what, I'm sorry, I'mnot. No, Well, the games

(58:22):
so much faster and it's boring.Yeah, pretty much. It's because I'm
a goalie, so I love thefreeness of it, because either you you
could be a good goalie and stopthat shit, or you're just there for
looks. Well, all I knowis that stopping shit or not. The

(58:42):
NHL for decades now have tried toartificially inflate scoring. They blamed it on
the physicality of the game. Theyblamed lack of scoring on fighting. They
blamed lack of scoring on on lackof talent. They blamed it on no
salary cap, they blamed it onthe sea. They've had three lockouts,
they now have a salary cap.They've removed all but removed fighting from the

(59:07):
game. Dude, I'm watching thegame the other night, like about a
week ago, clean check. Atmost you can call two minute interference.
Homebody gets a five game fucking suspension. I'm like, for at most a
two minute interference call. And Iwasn't the only one that thought that,
Like in the comments section, itwas just common after comment after coming even
people who were like, man,I like the new NHL and it's a

(59:29):
bullshit call. And I'm like,from the horse's mouth, you're a new
breed of fan that he's even callingyou pussy. Now, maybe it's time
we fucking you know, I don'tknow, have a little bit of fucking
show, you know, let themstart checking each other a little bit again,
have some fun out there. Butthat's the conundrum. I mean,
dude, I don't have any fuckingI don't hold out any hope for this

(59:49):
TBSTNT bullshit because first of all,halfway through the season, they're gonna start
burying hockey games to show more NBAgames. That's all there is to it.
Yeah, a lot of people don'twatch the NBA because are pissed off
because of you know, the BLMand then people speaking up in the NBA
and shit. But even with thempeople fucking turning off the NBA, there's

(01:00:10):
still more people watching the NBA thanthe NHL in America. And it's just
the reality of the situation. It'sgonna be dooor Network Part two, Dude
with you. I am my hopeis. Here's my hope is. The
way the NHL is now is becausethey weren't on primetime TV channels but they
are now. So now if theyget the feedback and the reaction from fans

(01:00:36):
and even fair weather fans that thehell is this? Why why can't they
fight how do you interfere with theguy and get five games? Suspective?
What kind of league is this?Hopefully they'll go back a little bit,
maybe go back a lot. Idon't see that happening. I don't know.
I hope I have hope. Imean, dude, look HBO Max

(01:00:59):
just to know they're gonna have livesports, and the live sport that they
were pushing the most was hockey.Okay, if you include live hockey games
seven days a week, maybe twogay on the East coast, in a
West Coast game every night, andinclude it in the price of HBO Max,
you might actually get some people whoare curious enough to say out and

(01:01:22):
watch hockey, and out of thatyou might actually retain twenty five percent of
those people. But if it's oneof these things like, well, it's
fifteen bucks a month for HBO Maxand if you want to hockey package,
that's you know, that's going torun you an extra two two fifty per
year. I ain't paying that.I'm not like your sport doesn't deserve my
money to watch period. You're notputting that good of a product out there.

(01:01:46):
Right. The best, the bestproduct in sports is football and it's
for the most part, you canwatch football all Sunday for free. Maybe
not the games you'd want, butyou can watch football from one o'clock to
fucking eleven thirty at night for free. That's a you know, that's that's
the problem the NHL is gonna runinto. They're trying to monetize this issue.
They're already talking about fucking covering jerseysand fucking I'm talking covering the jerseys

(01:02:12):
and advertisements going out like soccer.And just to be brutally honest with you,
man, if I turn on ahockey game and I'm and I'm trying
to figure out what team is playingbecause I can't make out what jersey it
is because it's covered in advertisements,UM, I tap out. I'm done
with hockey at that point. I'mnot I'm not gonna watch. That's not
a sorry dude, you got butyou got advertisements all over the place,

(01:02:37):
all right. You don't need themon the fucking players. They don't need
to be fucking walking billboards. I'mjust because one fuck you stop trying to
bleed your fan base dry. Anyhockey fan who's been a hockey fan all
their life has stuck with the NHLthrough thick and fucking thin, them trying
to americanize and destroy this fucking sportfor deck aids now And how does the

(01:03:01):
NHL repay him? Oh, youdon't want to watch our product? What
you gotta fucking pay above and beyondwhile everybody else is fucking You can just
basic cable. You can watch thefucking MLB, You can watch basketball.
You get a fuck high def TV. Go get a fucking antenna. You

(01:03:22):
can pick up games via the air. For NFL hockey for now, the
least popular of the fucking is whatye have for now, the least popular
of all the fucking sports. Theywant to charge you to watch it.
Bad business, Sporty Chustopher Media dotnet Chustopher Media dot ne net to Sportee.

(01:03:45):
I think Thursday night football next yearis all Amazon. I think that
went down in the off season.Well, if that's the case, then
NFL is about. NFL is aboutto be one of the most Thursday NFL
balls will be one most pirated things. I'm the fucking Internet. Oh for
sure this year. I'll tell youall right, and they can pay they
hey rich, they can hold onso I can go to all the Reddit

(01:04:09):
pages that have streams and fucking tryto take them down, and and this,
that and the other thing. Letme tell you something. They can
take down hockey streams because not enoughpeople are demanding that they're up. But
football streams, they'll shut one down. Four of them will pop up and
within a minute, see, butto replace the One's what I wonder though.
I just had this thought, probablybecause I just sit in my vape

(01:04:30):
pen. But it's gotta be theNFL's gotta have intel that we don't.
I'm willing because you can remember whenduring the which, by the way,
NFL, if we could do theSuper wild Card every year, I'd be
appreciated, thank you. During thewild Cards one of them, remember it
was just on Amazon and I don'thave Amazon whatever, but I do have

(01:04:51):
Amazon Prime, right, and Iguess that shit comes with Amazon Prime.
So I'm willing to bet that thereare now Amazon Prime accounts may out number
television sets. That that's maybe myonly thought as to why they would do
that. Well, you could probablyhave pess as many eyeballs because if you
had Amazon Prime, you can watchit. Well, Amazon Primes, what's

(01:05:14):
twelve bucks a month? Yeah?And I mean, most domesticated houses have
Amazon Prime simply for the next dayfree shipping on the unship, I mean,
and especially the last year. Ohyeah, So I mean it's a
It's an intelligent, calculated risk ontheir part because I'm sure they're thinking most

(01:05:38):
of our fan base probably has AmazonPrime already, so it's not going to
be a burden for them to fuckinggo get it. And if you're really
that much of a football fan,twelve bucks a month for what five six
months out the year still cheaper thanthe fucking season package, So show you
know. Look, I'm I don'tbe grudge leagues trying to make money.

(01:06:01):
I don't be grudge sports trying toturn a profit what I do. But
grudge is there are certain things thatto me are just like I can't I
can't co sign on. I'm nottrying to start some fucking crusade. I'm
not saying that everybody needs. IfI say I'm not listening to this or
I'm not watching this, that justmakes me feel better. I know I'm
not hurting them financially, but I'mover giving my money to people who either

(01:06:29):
don't care about the product that they'reselling, but they want my money or
And I'm finding this more and moreas I go on in life. I'm
done giving money to people who hateme. You're gonna talk shit about You're
gonna talk shit about me because ofmy gender or my fucking color or my
fucking sexual orientation. And I'm eviland I'm all this. Then you don't

(01:06:50):
need my evil ass money. Doyou problem solved? Don't worry about it.
I mean, and this this kindof goes back. I'm kind of
I want to go back to Earlbrought up because I do think it's bullshit
what's going on with the MLB intheir All Star Game, because they're trying
to fucking virtue signals so fucking hardand pass some sort of bullshit purity tests

(01:07:14):
that they're giving themselves. By theway, no one requested MLB do this,
No one demanded it nothing. Theydecided to do this, so they
get what they deserve. This wassolely their decision. And if it doesn't
work out for him, Chris,we've done unregimented long enough. You know
they're gonna blame toxic fandom. No, your piece is a shit who treat

(01:07:36):
your own You can't treat your customerslike their assholes and expect them to stay
customers. You just can't. Youcan't have open contempt for a percentage of
your fucking paying customers and expect themto still hand you money with a smile.
And on top of that, themmoving that fucking All Star game.

(01:07:56):
How many peripheral jobs did they justfucking shit on in Georgia to prove a
point? So basically, well,you know, because Atlanta, as is
described all over the country, isNew York of the South. You know,
they're very progressive and inclusive and diverseand all these buzzwords and shit.

(01:08:16):
Okay, great, So now becausethe state passed laws you don't like,
you're going to hurt the people whosupposedly are your allies and had absolutely nothing
to do with it. Yeah,they they had nothing to do with it.
Believe me, if it was aBay County fucking vote, it wouldn't
have passed the county Atlanta is in. So why are you punishing people that

(01:08:39):
had nothing to do to do withthis? So they won't NBA friends will
like their tweets. This is theproblem that we're running into now that's bled
over and everything, and this iswhy just enjoy the ride. Gentlemen,
we are the modern day Roman Empire. We are past the tipping point.
We are destined for destruction at thispoint. We just probably won't live to

(01:09:00):
see it. That I know.I've done forty four years of work making
sure I don't live to a ripeold age, so I know I won't
live to see it. But y'all, earl, you've got a weird family
that live a long time. Sometimes, if you live as long as you're
dad, you might actually be aroundto see it. Because dude, we've
we've crusted the top of the mountain. We're down on the other side.

(01:09:20):
Used to be the facts don't careabout your feelings. Now the vast majority
of this country says, my feelingsdon't care about your facts. And it
doesn't matter where they're out of thepolitical spectrum. They got their beliefs and
it's backed up by nothing, butthey don't give a shit because you can't
tell me how to feel. Okay, well, great, you feel this

(01:09:40):
way. What the fuck does thathave to do with anything? I mean,
that's you are literally watching a majorsports league fucking entire city because they
don't like something that a percentage ofpeople in that fucking state and to a
vast majority, a smaller percentage ofpeople in the city that they're fucking over

(01:10:03):
don't approve of trying to outwoke theNBA. I mean, here's here's the
deal. Okay, twenty sixteen,almost fifty million people watched the OSCARS a
couple days ago. Nine million.That's a five that's a huge drop off
in five years. Heard nineteen ninetyseven it was forty million. Oh,

(01:10:26):
it was going up until the midtwenty the twenty teens. It was every
year it would go upper or prettymuch stay around the same and that and
next year it will be under ninemillion because they snubbed Chad with well,
no one wants to watch to belectured. That's the other problem. Like

(01:10:47):
exactly I didn't watch it, butI heard it started immediately with a lecture
right out of the box twelve minutesRegina King lecturing you no TV's to be
escapism. This is I mean,this is where we're at. This is
where we're at a society, asa society that you're going to punish everybody

(01:11:11):
in a state for something that ahandful of lawmakers did. And by the
way, all these people who claimto you know, no, no,
we don't cancel people. We don'tstifle free speech. We don't stifle free
expression. We all we we werespect discourse and the open market of ideas.

(01:11:33):
They're for this shit. Yeah,they're the ones pushing this ship.
I learned everything I needed to knowabout the left in the last year.
It's simply with with with COVID.I I we saw who when the ship
hits the fan, who's really gonnaclamp down? That's all I needed to
do. That's that's all I needto know, quite honestly, like the

(01:11:57):
end, I mean here in Michiganyet to the three people on this podcast
are living in Michigan, We've beenone of the most restricted states in this
country through this entire situation. We'realso one of the worst states for outbreaks
in this country. And Texas,Florida, Tennessee. Are they dead yet

(01:12:17):
in Texas? Did Texas ditch maskson March tenth? Yeah? I mean
yeah, And I'm waiting for like, because I have family and friends and
all three of those states, andI'm waiting to get to call that like,
you know, they're all deathly illwith COVID. And meanwhile, you
know, they've lived through the samefucking pandemic that we've all lived through.

(01:12:39):
And I'm like, hung people youknow had COVID, Well, well,
no one. I know. Someonewho their wife was exposed at worked to
somebody so they had to quarantine.Those are the stories I'm hearing meanwhile,
up in Michigan. I mean youtalking a dozen people I know that fucking
had COVID. Dude, I've beenand I've been I've been dodging that motherfucker
for months. My wife had it, my sister brought it to Easter.

(01:13:01):
I was exposed at my job atthe time. Like Jesus Christ, it's
fucking everywhere. I mean, let'sbe honest. Let's be honest here.
Who wants their fucking sports mixed withtheir politics. People who don't like sports
but want to push a political agenda. People get that shit out of here,
right But that sports are way backto my point though, Rich right

(01:13:24):
there, it goes back to mypoint. The NFL is the only pro
sports affiliate in the United States thatfigured that shit out, and they figured
it out quick, and we talkedabout it already on this program. You
know, they put something in theend zone about black Lives Matter or you
know whatever, something about social justiceand they left it and they went on

(01:13:45):
and started talking about football. Theywere the wocust league in the land for
two weeks and that was NASCAR figuredit out really fucking quick. How much
Bubba Wallace, have you heard aboutNASCAR? You haven't. They squashed it
on. So what I'm hoping absolutelythat whole situation was bullshit. That's why
exactly manufactured outrage. But really,the NBA hasn't figured it out. And

(01:14:11):
now the MLB is trying to,like Chris said, outdo the NBA.
And while the Major League Baseball ison benda knee going we fucked up.
You know, we fucked up,right, the NHL is now stepping in
front of them, going on,I'm sorry about your bad luck. I'm
hoping, but I'm stuff in frontof people. You can't make them like
it, though, man, Likethat's stop. Hockey's popularity has been dropping

(01:14:34):
for a while. Wait, whatI'm hoping is that now they're back into
the into the forefront of people,they're back on national TV, they will
stop this passification of the sport.They'll start listening to the fans again.
See NHL Gary Bettan is gonna notbe in charge all of a sudden.

(01:14:58):
Someone, I'll plug you in aminute. Okay, Ante NHL had a
problem Rich. You'll remember they wereso big. The NHL was huge in
the nineties because they were all overTV. They had skill out from west
to east coast, from from Canadadown. You could watch any team,

(01:15:19):
any any team and be like,damn, he's good. Oh we're about
to watch your flight. Look atthat glove safe. It didn't matter what
you watched. It was entertaining.But I and they had the talent.
As as two thousand came upon usand just a little bit more, a
lot of the talent subsided. Theirbig go to guy is your favorite guy

(01:15:42):
Crosby. Well, nobody liked okay, and NHL scrambled and they said,
well, shit, what do wegotta do to make this more popular?
Oh, listen to the wof flights. Let's take out fighting, let's let's
open the ice, banned the twoline pass, get rid of that.
And they try to make it morelikable with less talent, and people were

(01:16:08):
like, okay, he had torun. Goodbye NHL. Now then I
think there, I think they're seeingtheir their faults, and I think Chris,
I promise, I'll let you tellme. Hang on a minute,
and their time spent off of TVand out of the public eye, I
think they might have found that theydon't need to find Go with the woke

(01:16:30):
flicks, follow the NHL, followNASCAR. Do you play your sport,
build your teams, talk about yourpeople, find the next wing Gretzky,
find the next bell for promote themlike you used to, and let people
know what your sport is all about. And engage your fans. And I
hope since they're on ESPN, TBSTNT, they get that audience to go,

(01:16:56):
oh, that's badass. I thinkhockey will always have a limited will always
have a ceiling on their popularity becauseminorities don't get into hockey and and no
ironical, hold on, I'm talkingabout actually get into it. I ironically
we're now I'm now gonna get alittle woke on you because it's did the

(01:17:18):
cost it's I mean, when Iwas coming up, one of the most
expensive hockey was for rich suburban kids. That's that. The kids I know
that played hockey their parents did verywell because the cost of entry to playing
hockey is fucking a lot all theice time nities to get in and back

(01:17:42):
in the nineties, you didn't haveminorities that were, you know, in
the hood going oh, look atthat game. I guess what I'm getting
that they wore their uniform but theywore their hats, they wore their jerseys.
Now, to be incredibly un pcabout it. The key to anything,
the key to popularity and anything inthe Erica has the poor people gotta
could be able to get into it? Can it be accessible? You got

(01:18:03):
to hear me and Compton. Everybodydude wearing a fucking jersey. Dude,
Jesus fucking Christ, you need toget your ass out of fucking Kansas.
White boy, you've turned into thewhitest white motherfucker I ever met. Like
you don't know, black people wearfucking uniforms and teams they don't give a
fuck about because it matches their hatand shoes. You've simple cocksucker. Shut

(01:18:26):
the fuck up with your bullshit.Jesus God, I can't believe I just
listen to you ramble for fifteen minutesand not say a goddamn thing. Jesus
fucking Christ, Oh God, areyou fucking serious? You think fucking cause
because because some gang bangers find somecolors that matches with their fucking bullshit colored
scheme on a hockey jersey, thatthey're gonna watch the sport. No,

(01:18:48):
thank you the fuck out of here. No, but Chris was saying that
the poor people don't get into NHL. Yes they do. No, they
can't help. They can't let getinto it. They don't have to watch
the game, Chris, they helpby buying the products. No, it's
but I'm talking about if you wantto create fans something like the game in

(01:19:11):
general, it's something like something likeyou can go watch your kids play that
kind of shit that you're never gonnahave that kind of connection. And there
and disadvantaged communities with hockey because it'ssor back in the nineties, they didn't
have it. It's something they can'tit's something they can't take their kids too
because it costs a thousand dollars justfor them to show up. Right,
it did in the nineties the lastten Yeah, no one gave a fuck

(01:19:33):
because it was the nineties. Okay, what's your point? You have none?
Quiet. There are fucking programs forfucking low income and minority people.
They donate fucking brand new or slightlyused equipment. The NHL has been doing
that. It is showing dividends.There's more black players in the NHL now.

(01:19:54):
They never were, even though oneof the best goalies to ever fucking
lace up a pair of skates wasa black man. But everybody fucking forgets
him because well, well, wellno, dude, because this generation if
it didn't happen when they remember itdidn't happen. Remember, there's never been
diversity on TV, according to them, until their generation demanded it. Even

(01:20:17):
though Miami Vice the chief was Latino, there was a Latino fucking partner,
there was a black partner, therewas an Asian woman, there was two
white guys. So if we're goingby demographics, they were more fucking diverse
in the mid eighties on fucking networkTV than they are in most shows these

(01:20:38):
days. Mag pion like a motherfucker. But that's what you're dealing with,
and what you're dealing with, dude, that you don't understand because you don't
have kids, And just because youstick your dick and someone who has a
kid does not make you a fuckingparent. So stow that bullshit. We
put that bitchy baby to bed rightnow, Dude, I don't know anyone
at the age eighteen it's excited aboutfucking hockey unless they grew up in a

(01:21:01):
hockey family. The nineties to twothousands, you couldn't take a piss in
Detroit without bumping your nut on ared wing fucking piece of merchandise. All
right, let me go back,Let me go back and in my randick
us out. No hold on,listen, they lost their talent. NHL

(01:21:23):
lost their talent, all right.There was nobody for them to promote,
and they tried to go the walkwayand they lost everybody else, all right,
So that's why nobody is paying attentionto them. And then they lost
their TV spot. They had noplace to showcase any talent they did have,
all right. Now that they're backon national TV countrywide, they'll have

(01:21:46):
that opportunity again. And it mightnot be in Detroit right now because they're
rebuilding, but it could be somewherelike, you know, Tampa Bay.
Maybe they'll get excited finally about theirteams. Maybe maybe it is LA maybe
it is Pittsburgh, but they'll getexcited again because they'll see them. That's
what I'm trying to tell you theywere off the air. They weren't.

(01:22:09):
They were not off the air.You couldn't find a game, dude.
They're on basic cable. Everyone's gotbasic cable. I looked forever and until
they resurfaced on MSNBC or sn NBCor whatever the fuck that channel was.
I ain't seen a hockey game here. They were on ESPN before that.
This is a hope because they wentto that or actually it was the the

(01:22:30):
Outdoor Life Networks which became NBC whateverthat they got rid of. What I
hope is the NHL takes this opportunity, and it's a huge opportunity given to
them by the MLB to fill thatvoid. But the thing promote their talent.
But what you have to hope there'sthat the ven diagram of baseball fans

(01:22:51):
and hockey fans is just one bigcircle that lays over the top of each
other. Because I don't think that, I mean, how much crossover do
you think there really is? WhatI hope is that sports fans watch it
and NHL's like, so we don'tneed to go the walkway. Well,
let's go back and play hockey andbring it back to the way hockey is

(01:23:15):
supposed to be played, and thenthey get their whole fan based back,
they get the people they picked upback. I want to go to this
fantasy lane you're talking about, orthey unring bells. We've talked about it
on this show many times. Theydon't undo shit. Once something's done,
it's done. Like the fighting's nevercoming back. It might based on what
you said it does. What giveme examples, Well, they take it

(01:23:39):
away the two line pass that wasa done deal. Two line pass the
legal not anymore. It can't bein the crease, the crease rule that
was gone the next year because ofed Bell for so it can be undone
if they think it's going to makea profit. And now with the national
coverage they're getting hopefully and it's onlya hope. It could not be.
It could just fade away continually,but they have a huge opportunity to come

(01:24:00):
back and promote their product of coverage. They're still in basic cable. They
jump around three huge networks, butthey're still on basic cable. It's it's
still not free TV. But whenyou say basic cable, the only place
I ever saw NHL played was insn NBC. I don't know if that's
on basic cable or not local channel. It might be on basic cable.

(01:24:25):
Hang on a minute, it mightbe on basic cable there in Detroit,
but not out here. But thatwas a basic cable channel. It was
an NBC sports channel. I didn'tget sn NBC until I got a cable
box. Yeah, okay, okay, I think we should move on.
We're talking in a circle. Nono, no, not just a cable

(01:24:46):
box. I had to get acable package that had a sports package.
It came with SNNBC, Fox Sports, Uh, a couple other ones.
Well, the whole world doesn't haveyour table their ice man. But that's
what I'm telling you. Everybody hasESPN, everybody has TNT, TBS,

(01:25:06):
everybody, even if they don't havethe sports package. So now with the
open wide area that they have,they can try to come back to their
fans. I feel like they're gonnabe Okay Boomered for even talking about having
cable. I'm just it's a hope. There's no way that it could there's
no way that it couldn't. Ihope that it comes back to what hockey

(01:25:30):
is supposed to be and that theyhave now a platform big platform to promote
their talent and their product. They'regoing to redraft all the teams, they
got all new players. What you'retalking about is they're gonna undo like fifteen
twenty years worth of shit. It'snot gonna they're going to educate you on
fifteen to twenty years of ship.But what we're talking about maybe in the

(01:25:53):
two thousands, there was a clearshift in the style of play. We're
like twenty years into that. You'reseeing they're gonna just undo that. You
can't do that, dude. Listen, back in the day, even two
thousand and two thousand, we knewwho the captains of a lot of the
teams were. I ask you heretoday, who's the captain of the Las
Vegas Nights. Do you know,because I live in Las Vegas, Okay,

(01:26:17):
who's the captain of Tampa Bay?I don't know. I don't live
in Tampa Oh, Okay. WhenI was in Detroit, we didn't.
We weren't in any of those placeseither, But we knew him because they
were promoted on TV all the time. Joe Sacke captain of the eight or
Month, Jeremy Ronne captain of Lotaryoteonce again, dude, but you're assuming

(01:26:41):
hockey was big. Hockey was biggerin Rosy than it wasn't the rest of
the country because of what was goingon here. And you're looking at the
nineties to rose colored glasses because whateverreason, dude, you keep saying telling
tell didn't need to find next Gretzkyhere. Gretzky's a once any fucking universe
type fucking talent. Dude, Igot more assist He's got more assist than

(01:27:05):
anybody else has points. Ye,like you could. No one in our
lifetime is going to break that recordunless they drastically change the fucking rules.
Now. They have drastically changed therules over the last twenty years, made
the game wide open. They stilldon't have that scoring, but they do
have the fucking talent. I mean, dude, nineties, late eighties,

(01:27:28):
loo could goalie equipment. You couldjust stack the pads up and pretty much
fucking you couldn't score on a fuckinggoal. Didn't even need the goalie in
the pads. I mean there wassome I mean, dude, they seriously
like said that's it. Take offthe oversized shit. They limited what size
fucking hockey sweater they could wear.Limited how big their pads could be based
on their height and weight, etcetera, et cetera. They've done everything,

(01:27:51):
dude. There's talent in the game. The game probably had more talented
first through fourth wingers than I neverhas in my lifetime on almost all teams.
You need proof of that. Lookat the Golden Knights. They've been
around four seasons. They made thefucking playoffs three years, including their first
year as an expansion team. Usuallywhen you fucking had an expansion team,

(01:28:15):
you got the cast offs and fuckinggetting ready to retire people. They got
third and fourth line guys and theywere able to fucking make a goddamn run
to the Cup finals. That's prettyfucking impressive. The problem is no one
fucking cares but the hardcore hockey fans. The casual fan doesn't even understand hockey.
I mean, dude, I'm aroundteenagers now, like they do.

(01:28:39):
No hockey, no baseball. Theydon't care about that. It's it's football
and to a lesser extent, basketball, and it ain't about the local basketball
team. And tell you that noone gives fuck about the Pistons over here.
I mean, so it's in hope, dude, My Hope is rich.
It's like I said, they justthey're able to promote our product better,

(01:29:00):
their talent better. And it wasn'tjust Detroit Chris. People in New
Jersey loved their Devils because you're talkingabout teams that won. Fucking what about
the Atlanta thrash Roots They lasted allof what twelve seasons. How's Columbus doing?
I mean, how's how's the PhoenixCoyote excuse me, Arizona Coyotes doing?

(01:29:24):
I mean, come on, okay, well they go to Anaheim say
they loved them. Yeah, perennialfucking deep run playoff teams once again,
dude, That's what I'm saying.And when they weren't doing shit, no
one gave a fuck. It tooka decade for fucking anyone to give a
fuck about the Sharks, except forthe fact that they come out in early

(01:29:46):
nineties and picked baby blue as afucking color, which or teal, which
everybody was fucking picking in the nineties, So everybody had a starter jacket or
a hat, they had their fuckingcolors on it. I say, in
eighth Sharks, remember Sharks, Gierjust swept, you know, with the
starter caps and the starter jackets,and I bet you, I bet you
most people couldn't even tell you fuckingtwo people on the team it was.

(01:30:11):
It was. That's the thing,Like I was still on the team.
You can't. You can't look atfucking people who are wearing ship for fashion
and try to fucking equate them tofans. That's why it's like, I
don't give a fuck to Tupac wentto court one day in a feder Off
jersey. He did it because it'sred and white. He didn't do it
because he likes Federalf Yeah right,oh yeah, I mean that's all because

(01:30:32):
it matched the rest of his outfit. Was wearing it the reason, the
same reason doctor Cox was wearing it. It wasn't a fan, Yeah,
exactly. Rich On an off shoot, you said, you can't tell me
I still love their goalie, theShark, Tupac's goalie. No, the
Sharks goalie herbe Archer's Herbane. Yeah. It took me forever. I'm like,

(01:30:58):
what the hell is are you timecapssome motherfucker today? Man? Well,
I mean, look, dude,it's hard not to it's hard to
disagree with them, except for you'redude, you're looking back at the nineties
with like fondness because that's when youcame of age or whatever. It's like,
how everybody gets stuck listening to this, to the music that was around

(01:31:20):
when they first got a piece ofass for whatever reason, when you busted
your first night with another person,whatever music's on the radio, that's your
favorite music for the rest of yourlife. Radio programming that actually says you
are you were actually trying to remindpeople of their adolescence. There you go.
I mean, yeah, rich,but eighties, eighties, nineties,

(01:31:43):
I don't think the NHL is evergoing to see a stretch like that because
you had you had guys that were, like I said once, any universe
type players. Dude, Mario mYou without cancer is the only player that
could even come close to approaching Retzki'snumbers. And with the place help a
player, Oh yeah, I mean, and I mean yeah, Ovechkin has

(01:32:05):
a chance to catch them in thegoals, but he can't catching them in
fucking overall points or assists. Now, I mean you know what I'm saying,
Like you're talking about a complete youknow, complete players, And it
was just a perfect fucking storm comingtogether because in the beginning of the eighties,
you had the Islanders coming off offour fucking cups back to back.
Then you had the fucking Oilers runI mean, and then you had teams

(01:32:28):
who didn't win Cups for fucking decades, Rangers, Red Wings, and I
mean, let's not let's be honest. A lot of people started watching hockey
after the fucking Red Wings Avalanche brawlbecause oh shit, they let them fight.
I'll watch this shit. And then, you know, the NHL should
have been like, well, younever noticed when there's a fight, nobody

(01:32:50):
goes to the bathroom or to goget another beer. Maybe we should let
him do it. Puts asses inthe seats, puts money in our pockets.
We money. No, they gothe opposite direction. Let's turn them
into a bunch of fucking ballerinas outhere. So now you got a bunch
of fucking overpaid prima donnas who can'teven fucking dude. If you are not

(01:33:13):
keeping your head up on a suicidepass along the boards, you get what
you deserve. Period. That's oneof the first things they fucking teach you
when you're playing hockey. It's importantto keep control of the puck. It's
more important to keep your head upand on the swivel, because you can't
control the puck when you're fucking putthrough the glass or laid out on the
ice. Yeah, pretty pretty,pretty simple. A follows or B follows,

(01:33:36):
A two follows one. Kind ofgood, you know, solid logic
here. But that's the problem Ihave with the game. I'm looking and
I'm watching people who are supposed supposedto be the top of their game,
and they don't even know how toprotect themselves out there. Why because the
game has gotten to the point whereit's not required for you to protect yourself.

(01:33:57):
If you're not if you don't havecontact in foot ball, you're not
playing football. You're playing what twohand touch flag football. It's not the
it's not the same. And ifyou think it's just the same, I'll
tell you what Crystal pull flag offyou as you're running away, and then
I'll have Earl line up and fuin a three point stance and fucking drill
you and he'll tell me. He'lltell me which one is. How they're

(01:34:21):
the same fucking game. Okay,after you come to after Earl gets done,
we'll have that conversation. As soonas you figure out you're not Batman.
Okay, oh yeah. We hada friend, We had a mutual
friend try to take a hip forme once and he helicoptered. What do
you mean helicoptered out? I meanhe went in the air and went around

(01:34:43):
and around, and then finally JohnElway, oh yeah, oh damn.
Well, these idiots used to fuckingpower bomb each other on concrete, so
they are that. I would notwant to be here. I would not
want to be tackled by Earl absolutelynot. Hey rich, But here's that's

(01:35:04):
my point right there. The NFLfound out real quick going the wokeway is
not the way to go. Itseemed to ease a bad thing. But
play at your own fucking risk becausefor so like for three years they tried
to do that with wide receivers andif you touched them, flag, If
you touched them, you got aflag flag. I think that's also what

(01:35:29):
kind of the NFL tried to bewoke, you know, with it with
you know, with all that ColinKaepernick shit, and they just kind of
I think they were tired of hearingthe noise and just shut it all down.
Well, that and the fact thatthe ratings went took a dip,
and they were like, oh hellno, because now they've we just you
don't, we just won't show theanthem. Now now nobody gets any nationally

(01:35:51):
right right. And so I hopethe NHL and their and their new found
spot that the MLB has helped push. I hope, and I hope so
hard that the NHL follows the NFL'slead and says, that's it. We're
going back to our way. It'sour game. You don't like it,

(01:36:13):
find something else to watch, becauseyou know, when we watched that,
it wasn't just about the nineties andthe Red Wings, that everything. When
we watched it, we loved thegame so much that when it was over,
you and me Rich would go tothe Claude Allison suit up and start
playing. That's how much it madeus love the game. It wasn't about
the teams. It was a game. Sports you, Christopher Media dot net,

(01:36:35):
Christopher Media dot net, sports you. But the NFL did something that
I don't think the NHL is capableof doing. Because the NHL, because
of its shameful lack of diversity,I don't understand that. Because once again,

(01:36:57):
Chris, you were absolutely right,no matter what color you are.
If you're poor, the bar toenter the hockey world kind of high for
you. It doesn't really matter tocolor. Yeah, and uh, you
know, so they're trying to provethere there there their uncle Ben's they're white
people that are like, we're soashamed of being white because let us apologize

(01:37:24):
for it. You're why I Idon't understand, Like NFL didn't have that
problem. NFL put fucking end racismin the end zone and we're all big
talk for a couple of weeks untila reporter got up and said, excuse
me, racism is a feeling anda thought. How do you end feelings
and thoughts? Chirp, chirp,Yeah, chirp. That was the end
of that was That was the lastI heard about, you know, these

(01:37:45):
fucking coaches and players and shit pontificatingat the fucking podium after games after that
question was asked. Didn't really hearit much after that, didn't really hear
him popping off because they got exposedas the fucking fraud you are. You
are virtue signaling you're not changing anything, You're not making the world a better
place. In fact, if humannature tells us anything, Browbeating someone and

(01:38:12):
trying to shame someone into doing whatyou want them to do has the opposite
effect. Yeah, that's how wegot Trump. And twenty sixteen we were
we were, we were, wewere like all right, we were like
where we are now, but wewere dialed down a little bit. Now
we just dialed up everything, likewe're gonna get Trump. I shuddered to
think what we're gonna get in twentytwenty four. It's gonna be somebody from

(01:38:34):
the right. That's that I knowthat's gonna happen, you know. Uh,
Todd I agreed with him on this. He's like, as Obama was
a reaction to Bush, and Trumpwas a reaction to Obama, Biden's a
stopgap measure. It's a return quoteunquote to normalcy supposedly, you know,

(01:38:59):
ran to rebound relationship. Yeah.Yeah. And even the most fucking you
know, carrying water Forum before theelection supporter of Biden was like, oh,
yeah, he's got one term presidentwritten all over him. But he
even makes it through four years.I don't see him rerunning. These are

(01:39:20):
his supporters, right, okay?And Todd was like, I shudder to
think what the left will throw upin response to Trump, because then the
right will double down and we'll getTrump on fucking steroids. Yeah, with
a side of bath salts, justfor good measure. And it's like I

(01:39:40):
didn't question, I didn't doubt oragree with what he said because I was
like, I'd like to I'd liketo hope, because we've been using it
a lot to hope in one hand, shit in the other. You know
how the rest is saying goes.I'd like to hope that people aren't as
stupid. And yet I put myfaith into people and the people let me
down yet again. Yeah. No, I'm just waiting, dude, And

(01:40:01):
this shit's gonna get worse. It'snot gonna get better. There's no going
back. Well, Trump, Idon't care about that. You You fucking
put your application in front regiment andyou want to talk about Trump like four
okay, Um, dude, thebullshit ain't gonna get any fucking better.

(01:40:24):
That's that's the problem here. Youknow, Conservatives don't want change comes slowly.
So called progressives want what they wantwhen they want it immediately, but
they never give an inch. Yougive them an inch, they take a
mile and refuse to step back acentimeter. This isn't going to get better,

(01:40:45):
It's going to get worse. Whythese people are convinced they're right,
they're convinced they're taking a moral stand. Once you can, once you are
convinced that you have some sort ofdivine like blessing for your crusade, it's
over with, dude. And that'swhy I'm like, I don't have a

(01:41:06):
lot of hope for these fucking sportsexpanding because the traditional fucking sports fan,
as we've said multiple times, allthree of us on this show that we're
recording right now, we don't wantto be fucking preached at. We don't
want our politics in our fucking sports. We watch sports to escape the bullshit

(01:41:27):
of the real world. I don'tneed someone who was a hundred who had
one hundred million dollars in the bankat eighteen telling me about what I should
and shouldn't do during the lockdown whilethey're in their fucking mansion with their slaves
excuse me, servants, okay,and their six thousand square foot fucking mansion.

(01:41:47):
Quite oh, I got a bigproblem with anyone who makes over fifty
grand telling me what to do.The average America makes like fifty thousand dollars.
So if you're, if you're,if you got six digits on your
W two, you can shut thefuck up because you are not the average
American. I'm sorry. That's justme though. Well that's that's that's the
other problem, is it. Everybodywants to fucking be Everybody wants the status

(01:42:12):
symbol of being low on the totempole, but no one wants to go
live low on the totem. There'sjust so many people all the time.
Like when I'm watching TV with mywife or I think I've said on podcast
with you guys, like yeah,okay, that somebody will be complaining about
something like yeah, trade with me. You would fucking kill yourself if you
woke up with my life in myincome. Like it's a joke, Yeah,

(01:42:38):
it's he's dead serious. Yeah youtrade. I'll be so and so
the entertainer, you be, Christhe pizza man, you fucking you,
you jumping. You'd walk on thestreet front of my house to jump front
of the first bust that came infront of it. See that's why I'm
not saying much during this conversation.Left right, Democrat, Republican, they're
all the same to me, theydon't care about black and white. The

(01:43:00):
only color they care about is greed. Well, but that's that's the thing.
You're being plaint the people at thetime, the NFL put a kabash
on the whole. You know,we're gonna sit here and fucking preach it
our fucking customers. Once they realizedif they do that, those little bags
of money fly away because the NFL, the NFL is like Henry Hill and

(01:43:24):
good Fellas. Fuck you pay me, that's all they care about. Yeah,
they saw the writing on the walland they fucking unfucked themselves most ricky
tick, which good for them.The problem is other sports ain't gonna follow
suit. And the further problem is, and this is where people, Yeah,

(01:43:45):
you're gonna get picked on or becauseyou're the youngest around your age,
not you necessarily, but people aroundyour age and younger need to understand,
or your age and a little bitolder need to understand you ain't in the
fucking target demographic. To more,you are not cared about. They are
not pandering to you. They arepandering to eighteen what is it, eighteen

(01:44:06):
thirty five, eighteen thirty four.Yeah, earl, you've already made your
choices. They're trying to try thenews strategies. They want to hook you
early. They want you to makeyour buying decisions early in life, before
you even have the money to makethem, so that when you can make
them, you make them, you'vealready made your choices. They're done with
you. The commercials on Fox Newsare now starting to aim at you.

(01:44:30):
Yeah, you might as well justturn on CBS and get it over with,
pick your favorite incis and call ita day, because it's not not
joking, not you personally. Earlthe Row You me too, rich too.
We're all in this club together.And believe me, we were all
in our fucking late teens and earlytwenties being told this by Dick Kernan in
Specs and going, you know,okay, old man. And then every

(01:44:53):
year, yeah, every year asI got older, I was like,
that motherfucker was right, That motherfuckerwas off it. Now he's dead and
Specs Howard's dead too, But noteven what not even a month later they
closed the fucking place down. Youknow who was running that then? Yeah,
Specs was the name. Guy fuckingKernin was the fucking the man behind

(01:45:15):
the curtain. Obviously podcasting for noone. Yeah, right, but but
I mean, Earl, the NFL, You're right, the NFL. If
if dudes on construction sites are talkingabout Monday night football on Tuesday morning,
the NFL has a problem. Thatis a problem they do not want well.
And it's been dude, it's beenproven through studies for fucking hundreds of

(01:45:40):
years or excuse me, for thelast hundred years that we've been studying this
ship. And then plus just knowinghuman nature, you dude, the whole
reason that we're sitting here fighting oversomething as arbitrary as what color package you
are when you slip out of yourmom's rotten ass fucking cunt is because the

(01:46:02):
people at the top know that ifwe actually go you know, it's not
really about black and white. It'sabout the halves versus to have Now they're
the hats. It's always been.They're the hats. They don't want us
coming for them, because did youever notice, I mean, I'm fighting
amongst themselves. I made this observationthe other day. My wife was like,
yeah, you're right. It's likeyou even notice all these woke warriors

(01:46:24):
are people who either have the timeor the income to be because everyone else
I know has got to go tofucking work like they got kids and ship
to raise, like they ain't gottime to fucking go marching the streets and
fucking all this shit. And letme tell you something, most of your
gloke warriors are fucking just cubicle drones, sitting in front of a fucking computer

(01:46:50):
for eight hours a day, doingmaybe two hours worth of work and dicking
off the rest of the time.And we all know that solidly middle class,
by the way, or high.Yeah, a lot of a lot
of them don't live in those neighborhoodswhere they're protesting, And a lot of
them are fucking college kids living athome with mom and dad, right,
And a lot of them live athome to thirty five now, which that

(01:47:11):
sh would not have flown in myhouse, you know. And this is
where I try man with my biggestproblem. And it's stuff you guys already
know, the woke flakes and everything, and the naysayers. Everybody could say
what they want, all right,it's just making themselves feel better. It
ain't changing a goddamn thing, notone. Yeah, that's but you feel
better about yourself, like rich,not wanting to watch anymore. It doesn't

(01:47:33):
change anything, but it feels betternow you're you're right, because oh god,
we're somehow and on regimented territory.Fuck it, No, that was
my whole thing with told George Floyd. Thing like it thought to me was
a hollow victory because what has changedin the last year. And any of
these motherfucking politicians who are up thereand doing all this virtue signaling and all

(01:47:55):
this shit about it can shut thefuck up because you have had a year.
You he died on May twenty sixth, it is April twenty eighth.
You have had a fucking year todo shit about shit, and you have
done nothing. Nothing. I'm ona federal level, on a state,
on any state level, maybe ahandful of cities if out lot of chokehold

(01:48:17):
or two. But what has actuallychanged fucking nothing. They've had a lot
longer than a year. I'll takeyou back to nineteen ninety two when it
was just four cops beating the guywith sticks. They just beat them.
That was it. Now they're shootingthem often. Shoot dude. I can't,

(01:48:38):
I can't do this, dude.I'm gonna I'm gonna fucking I'm done.
I'm done with this show tonight today. I'm not doing this because that
is retarded and dude, stop drinkingthe fear kool aid. I deal with
it on one PC. No oneis, Dude. There ain't no more
by every fucking statistic possible. Welive in one of the least violent times

(01:49:00):
in recorded history for everything, andyou're you're pushing his bullshit narrative. Oh,
there's more shootings with cops than everbefore. Actually there's less, but
you won't hear that on the fuckingnews. That's why I can't do this,
dude. If you're gonna fucking regurgitatefear porn talking points, I got
a podcast you can join and youcan get and you can jerk off with

(01:49:23):
your fear porn with him. Okay, I can't do it with you,
dude. I refuse to. Ilive in reality. I've lived in the
neighborhoods that these fuckers want to abolishpolice from the police don't come to them
fucking neighborhoods in the first place,all right, period, end of story.
You don't worry about it. Thereain't no cops there, so horseshit.

(01:49:44):
These people don't give a fuck,and they're just stirring the fucking pop
because they ain't got nothing else betterto do, and they you can't deal
with them, dude. It's logicand reason. We've blah life with these
people a long time ago. Itotally agree with the rich and what I
was saying, dude, is it. It went from on video watching somebody

(01:50:04):
get beat to watching somebody get steppedon or shot. That doesn't change.
That goes to our point. Youcan scream to high heaven you're not going
to change anything. We can sithere and beg the NHL to come back
to what it used to be.You and me, rich are not going

(01:50:26):
to change anything. Once the NFLsaw the dip in their profits, the
dip in their ratings, that's whenthe upper people changed it. And that's
why I brought up what happened withthe fucking Oscars, because you have sports
leagues, actors, musicians, whoever, who think their bulletproof. No matter

(01:50:48):
what they do there, the moneysand the adulation and the fucking and in
the ass sucking is just going tokeep coming in and rolling. Nine million
people watched the Oscars. It waseight almost two thirds dip from last year,
you know, the beginning of thefucking pandemic, and that was still

(01:51:09):
what a fort dip from the yearbefore. By the way, where the
Academy watchs you know now that thestreaming numbers have come in, it was
a fifty six percent dip, sothey got they got below sixty. Oh
well, But I mean my pointis, if this can happen to the
OSCARS, sports leagues, tread carefully, okay, because this is proof.

(01:51:30):
The OSCARS is proof the very peoplewho want you to get on stage and
talk down to the majority of thiscountry they're not the ones that ever supported
you. So when you give into them, they don't go, oh,
thank you, now, let mesupport you. They leave you to
fucking die on the vine on yourown. Which, by the way,

(01:51:54):
I saw another article talking about theratings for the NBA this year. Apparently
they started out killing it and it'sjust been ever since, like their their
ratings are fucking just done again becausethey want to shut up in dribble,
when you have come down Laura Ingram, when you have you know, arguably

(01:52:15):
the face of one of the facesof the NBA saying things like police are
actively hunting down and killing up blackmen in the street when you put a
picture of them up and say you'renext, and go fuck yourself, James,
your actually pizza shit. What richtwo are saying, though, is
that's just irresponsible because he knows howmany people are listening to him, and

(01:52:38):
just saying that you're being actively hunted. That's just wrong, that's just false.
Have you ever had your parents tryingto find you when they're looking to
beat your ass? Okay, youwere in more danger than than you are
walking down the fucking street. Idon't care how black y are, and
you can argue with me all youwant. I've lived in those neighborhoods.

(01:52:59):
I grew up in those neighborhoods.I grew up in those homes. I
had at one point nine roommates,okay, had four in my room,
had four in the next room,and we all shared one bathroom. And
I was then only white boy.All right, So save me this bullshit
about oh, you're isolated in yourwhite world. Fuck you, I want

(01:53:23):
to hear it. It's horseshit.And by the way, don't know anyone
who's a fucking adult who lived inany of these neighborhoods that I'm talking about
who would even agree with fucking LebronJames. What's funny is one side wants
to tell you you're not allowed tomake blanket statements. Well, they make
blanket statements about you Boom's And that'swhere we're at. And that's the problem

(01:53:45):
with the that I see coming forthe NHL. The NHL can't get out
of its own fucking way, andthey're trying to fucking you know, Uncle
Bennett up and fucking you know Virtuesignal themselves into oblivion. And by the
way, you're running off the peoplewho actually will hand you money for your
product to please people who will nevergive you a red slucking set for your

(01:54:08):
product. My whole problem, you'relosing your suation. My whole problem with
the whole situation with every league,whether it be protesting a national anthem,
wearing shirts, talking down to mebecause I'm white and I have privilege,
the whole thing. My problem isNumber One, I didn't do a goddamn

(01:54:30):
thing to anybody personally. Number Two, they can't change anything, not even
the owners of the teams can changeanything. But you're talking to the wrong
fucking people. Guys, By theway, I've talked about the NBA.
You know, have to say governors. Remember they got rid of owners,
the NBA, all of those leagues. They need to be going to Congress,

(01:54:54):
they need to be going to thehill and having them change it and
walking down to them, because thoseare the guns who are going to make
change, not me, not rich. If you wanted to change the system,
perhaps try participating in the one thatcurrently exists first, or I don't
know. Let's be honest. Doyou want politicians to do what you want?

(01:55:15):
Spread that? Yeah, you gottabuy them, bought and sold the
good old American way, Lebron,you got more than enough money. Go
buy yourself a cup of politicians untilyou do. Shut the fuck up.
I don't really well, no,you know. Yeah, here's the thing.
When I say shut the fuck up, you're free to say whatever you
want, and I'm free to tellyou shut the fuck up away from it.

(01:55:35):
So that's how that works. Yeah, I don't care what he says.
How much money have you put Idon't want to hear about. Well,
he gave five hundred thousand to alocal boys and girls club. I
don't give a fuck. And I'mso tired of hearing that in my sports
blackout in white and white on blackand diversity and wokeness and shut the fuck

(01:55:58):
up. None of it mad nota fucking single thing. If everybody in
this country, every single citizen inthis country, even rich as much as
he hates it was fucking won't agreewith everything, nothing would fucking change,
not one thing, because we aren'tthe people to change it. It's so

(01:56:19):
cute when you watch them grow upand realize shit that you realize like a
quarter century ago, and they tryto like, they try to like,
they try to like, you know, get you like, did you know,
yeah, twenty five years ago.So if you I did it first,
well, dude, I'm really sayingthis ship since I fucking wasn't,

(01:56:42):
I don't know, out of highschool. The minute the fucking I was
sitting in a Civics class and theybroke down how the fucking government works and
how corporations own our fucking politicians.I was like, well, but we
call it lobbyists. Yeah no,Actually it's a cute way around it.
We need to start doing it's calledpoliticians what they are worse. There's your

(01:57:04):
money, Your money's an address,I'm told with you you know, it's
because that's all you are. Allyou are is good for is these corporations
that dump they're fucking uh disease riddensemen down your fucking throat. Lets you
shit it out the next day.That's all you're good for. That's why
you're just a commerce aft. That'swhy, no matter the color tie,
I don't trust them. Oh theblue ties are in charge, they're gonna

(01:57:27):
give a fuck about me. Now. No, there's still lobbyists, not
that I bought and sold those motherfuckerstoo. Liked the problem to fix his
in problems all the same game.The problem really is the the you know,
the woke crowd is right that thesystem is fucked. But the way
to fix a fux system is tonot take a system that's failed every single

(01:57:50):
fucking time it's been used and implementit yet again, that's Colin Thin,
and destroy two hundred and fifty yearsof fucking building this fucking country up.
Yeah, we got our fucking problems. Yeah we're fucked up. Yeah we're
not. We're not, you know, Oh god, I loved I'd love
to hear this from fucking fourteen yearolds who think they're so edgy when they

(01:58:11):
say this America was never great,and I'm like, yeah, you're right,
that's why people were fucking risking deathto float over here on fucking wooden
doors and shove here. I say, Canada's right there, motherfucker. Yeah.
By the way, do so seeif they'll, first of all,
if they'll even let you in thefucking country. Second of all, try
to fuck it. Try to moveto New Zealand. You know what you

(01:58:32):
have to have in New Zealand.You have to have a job where you
make two hundred thousand dollars a yearafter taxes, or you have to have
one hundred and fifty thousand in retirementcoming in every year after taxes. You
don't have that. You don't evenfucking look about living here in New Zealand.
Now tell me why aren't they fuckingWell, they're college, they're they're

(01:58:55):
product colonization there. They're xenophobic bykeeping out foreigners and and using using their
their their their bank accounts as away to fucking vet who can come into
their country. We don't even dothat. Shit. What do you got,
uh duct tape holding my shoes on? Come on in all right?

(01:59:16):
I mean, and we're horrible Okay, then why is everyone trying to get
here? Yeah, there's people killingthemselves to come here even right now.
But we suck. Okay, coolcauseI don't. And by the way,
all these people who want to livein that communist society, I'm sure Venezuela
would be happy to have you godown there heading over to China, send

(01:59:40):
me a postcard if well, Imean, once again, if you can
get in. And that's before thefucking shit popped off of the pandemic.
See, that's that's what That's wherethe lack of history for these people just
comes into play, and it justmakes me go. You don't understand.
You're useful idiots, you do.They're fucking dirty. You do the the
elite who are actually in charge ofyour real masters. Since you like to

(02:00:03):
use slave analogy so much, youare a slave. You're right, you're
a slave to your corporate masters.Yet you suck their fucking dick. Every
time they fucking whip it out,they un zip and you swallow whatever they
give you to swallow. You're awhore. Shut up, No one cares.
And by the way, do they'reheavy lifting for you? Because in

(02:00:25):
history, everyone who did the heavylifting everyone who paved the way for every
fucking Bolshevik revolution or communist overthrow ofthe country. They were the first ones
lined up against the wall and killed. You know why, They've already proven
they can't stay loyal to one groupof people. Why would we take a
chance on them. But thanks forthe help. We appreciate it. Now,
eat this bullet. That's right,that's that's that's not oh, an

(02:00:49):
imaginary scenario I pulled out of myass. That's history true, that's history.
That's true period and the story I'mstill in for a successful examples of
communism. All these people that arein love with it, show me there's
yet to be one on the typicalresponses. All communism failed because of US

(02:01:09):
intervention and communist fucking countries. Ohreally, because we were big interventionists in
the late eighteen hundreds. We weresending our massive fucking fleet of fucking aircraft
carriers to sit on Russia's border andthreaten them with fucking nuclear annihilation. Why
we were killing each other at fuckingValley Ford, on our Valley Forge,

(02:01:31):
at you know, at Gettysburg.Yeah, I don't fucking think no,
no, no, no, tellhim it, say fuck you what did
we do in China in the seventies. Nothing, We sent Nixon over,
That's about it. China is stillplugging along China. But you know what
China has. They started a capitalismfor the elite, socialism for everybody else.

(02:01:51):
Yeah, that's just say that thecommunism for everybody else. China actually
did finally come around to capitalism,only like a small portion of their society.
But yeah, the working man,you know, it still gets the
fucking ziggy in China. And seeyou know, because I gotta hanna wrap
this up in a minute. Butthis is to bring it back to sports
once again. These people who railagainst sports and want to see sports destrict,

(02:02:16):
they don't care about sports. They'renot fans. They just want to
ruin what other people enjoy. Sowhen you fucking bend the need of these
people because you think, well,if I just give them their way this
one time, they'll shut up andleave me alone, you've already lost.
You cannot you cannot play their game. The only way to win is the

(02:02:42):
gate keep them away, period andthe story. If you're gonna come in
here and demand that hey, Ilike I like your house, but I
want to strip it to the studsand rebuild it. Well, then you
don't like my house, get thefuck out my house or build your own
house. Yeah. But see,these people can't create anything. They're non
creative, non artistic, nonimaginative assholes, that's all they are. They bring

(02:03:05):
nothing to the table. They're locust. They want to destroy because destruction can
happen in a second, while buildingsomething takes years, even possibly decades.
And well, they grew up.They're they're thirty five, forty year old
fucking babies their whole life. Whenthey cried, they got exactly what they

(02:03:28):
wanted to shut them up immediately.And now that they're adults, they don't
understand why they can't have it thatway immediately. I mean, dude,
look at how quick shit has changed. Look at how fast quote unquote progress
progression is happening. I mean,dude, ten years ago, there were
people still arguing about gay marriage.Now we're gonna send fucking trans men to

(02:03:49):
go out and get fucking killed bybiological men in sports, not even a
decade later. Man, ten yearsyeah, we when we were arguing gay
marriage, no one thought this iswhere we would be in ten fucking years.
And you said, I talked to. I mean I figured eventually it
would come or you know, Imean technology moves forward. Whatever. But

(02:04:12):
dude, once again, these peopleare not your allies. These people are
not your friends. These people arenot interested in making sure that your hobbies
or what you like, or thesports you follow, or the shows you
watch, or the music list themovies you fucking go see are better.
They want to control what you fuckingtake in because it's never enough right once,

(02:04:33):
like you're saying, rich, onceyou give in, then they push
it to the next boundary. Yougive in there, then they push it
to the next boundary. It's neverenough. Absolutely, and I mean we've
covered it ad nausea amount of unregimentedhow many times has some segment of so
called progressives, some little group onetheir little fucking pet pet you know,

(02:04:57):
pet project. They won and youfigure, okay, well they're going to
celebrate for like, you know,a little bit, right. No,
No, then it's well this isproblematic too. They don't even fucking enjoy
their victory. They literally pivot andgo into attack mode on something different right
after they get their way. Whyare ask yourself this question? What makes
you so special? And your hobbyis so special that they won't do it

(02:05:20):
to you and your hobbies. That'sall. That's that's my question, and
I've yet to hear an answer thatmakes any sense from anybody. We're coming
for everybody, now, Dude,you can I mean nothing, nothing's ever
good enough, and no one's everpure enough. It's a can't win situation.
It's to Kobe Ashi Maru, it'sa catch twenty two. It's they

(02:05:41):
set you up to fail, that'sit. And I mean the NFL,
Like I said, the NFL,they saw when the money started flying away
and the ratings started dropping, theycorrected the fucking course of that ship real
quick. Okay, NBA, yougot a lot of work to do because
they can't come out as a leagueand you know, basically tell their players

(02:06:01):
shut the fuck up, because weknow how that we know how that'll be
fucking be spun and the narrative willbe pushed out that white owners and gms
tell black players shut up. Andyou know it. You know it.
It's just as if as sure asyou're going to exhale your last breath,
you know it. So, Imean, dude, I don't Yeah,

(02:06:23):
I don't have much hope for thisshit. I just hope that it fucking
runs its course, and just likeyou know, because it's kind of hit
me. The other day, Iwas watching a movie and it was set
in the late sixties. It wasit was Once upon a Time in Hollywood.
So the last Quintin Tarantino movie.So it's the late sixties seen through

(02:06:44):
the eyes of someone in the latetwenty teens, and it's all romanticized,
and you know, the hippie thing, and hippies are all over the place,
and we have a The hippies lastedlike two and a half three years.
Yeah, but that because they wouldhave been allowed to craft their own
reality via history books, you wouldthink that all there were were right wing

(02:07:09):
motorcycle jacket wearing gracer pro war peopleand in hippies. That's all that existed
during the sixties. Hippies were ajoke back then, and we're pretty much
a joke once nineteen seventy, onceAltamont happened, done over with, they
became a fucking joke. The sixtieswere, Yeah, the sixties were.
It was a very different decade fromthe beginning to end. Yeah, the

(02:07:30):
hippies were only from like sixty sevento the end the beginning of the uh
the sixties. Yeah, everyone wasstill very brill cream you know, the
horn glasses, the skinny ties,you know, the fucking you know.
But and when we in twenty yearsget Awuigi board and let me know if
I'm right. But like, Ireally think that this crowd will have rewritten

(02:07:56):
history that everybody was woke, justlike everybody was a hippie and hippie movement
never died. It's still going strong. That's the best you can hope for.
Is it dies death like the hippiesdid. People finally go And they're
a bunch of hypocrites. They don'treally believe this ship is with. These
chicks are running around. They're justrunning around, want to, want to,

(02:08:16):
want to fuck with no consequences,And all these guys are saying peace,
love, Now give me the pussy, because that's the only reason they
were there for the most part.Believe me, most of your male hippies
were like Jenny's boyfriend at the BlackPanther party. They weren't like Forest,
Okay, because we got them.These days they're called male feminist. They're

(02:08:37):
the rapist of your friends who arealso the most feminist of your male friends.
I'm just saying, in my experience, people who protest too much usually
do it for a reason. Guysare always going to try to get laid,
all right, just write it down, take a picture. I don't
give a fuck. That is throughouthistory. That is going to always happen.

(02:09:03):
No matter what you want outlaw andlabel and make problematic. Guys are
always going to try to get laid. Well, I mean, dude,
we're I'm not saying this situation withWatson is is like it's I'm just gonna

(02:09:24):
say this. We're starting to seea single guy in his early twenties in
the NBA or in any sport reallywith money. Well, we're seeing this
across the board with any young guywith money who's single. What's he gonna
do. He's gonna party and fuckas much as possible. I think we
all can agree with that. We'restarting to see that even normal twenty year

(02:09:46):
old fucking behavior has become problematic.Well, you're you're sleeping around a lot,
bitch, You have slut walks.You put a fucking piece of dental
flaws between your fucking ash cheeks andwalked down the street with a sign saying
slut and proud. He can't fucka little bit seriously that society. Where

(02:10:09):

an ex to participate in one,but since she's my axt, she ballooned
up quite a bit, so Imean, well, that's not a problem
