1 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,240 What's happening to everybody? Unleash, man. 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,400 We got it all for you today. Happy Monday. 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,320 Kids are home from school so you got to come up with all these 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,840 activities. Let's get into it. 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,440 Wild football weekend. Two of the games were 6 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,600 phenomenal. 2 were absolute snooze fest. 7 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,240 We got something on Bellinger. Here come the Mets maybe try to 8 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:23,560 weasel their way in with with Bellinger and obviously this 9 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,560 just broke about 30 minutes ago. McDermott out as the head coach 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,120 of the Bills now. OK, so I get it. 11 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,400 I've got a lot of buddies who were Bill's Bill, a lot of 12 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,680 friends of mine who are Bill's fans. 13 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,840 So I've been hearing for a while and I've been saying for a 14 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,520 while, I really like McDermott. I don't necessarily view him as 15 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,200 a next level guy necessarily, but I got to take this is this 16 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,600 is really, really one of the major problems with the NFL. 17 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,440 This doesn't happen necessarily in the NBA because one call 18 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,120 doesn't ruin somebody's legacy. This doesn't happen in baseball 19 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,280 because one missed ball or strike or ground rule double, 20 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,360 even though a replay, whatever, it's hard to really mess that 21 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,040 stuff up. But in the NFL, if you lose a 22 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,960 big game and you lose a big a big game because the referees 23 00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:11,240 are incompetent, you are going to lose your job. 24 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,200 And I understand that. There's really a conversation to 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,320 be had and we've had this conversation now for about a 26 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:18,200 year or two. All right, what's the ceiling 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,800 for McDermott? Could he really push him 28 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,480 through? I understand that. 29 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,160 And I'm not even pushing back on the fact that the Bills fired 30 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,080 him. A lot of ways I respect it 31 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,720 because and I like McDermott. He's a good coach, not great, 32 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,760 but he's good. And he matter fact, he's really 33 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,680 good. But I do think it shows to their 34 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,680 fans into the football community that you know, they're after a 35 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,080 championship. And when you fall short again, 36 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,640 based on the circumstances that were so favorable for Josh Allen 37 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,240 and the Buffalo Bills this time around, there's recourse there 38 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,600 and somebody is going to lose their job. 39 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,280 But think about the sequence. And we all watch the game. 40 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,280 We all know what happened, but just listen to when you actually 41 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,200 hear it, right? Late fourth quarter, Alan, 42 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,080 incomplete pass to Brandon Cox. Are you trying to tell me that 43 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,360 that's not pass interference? Are you on Riley Moss? 44 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,240 That was clearly that was an egregious miss. 45 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,040 If the referees make that call, the ball is on the one with 19 46 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,560 seconds to go and guess what? You got to score a touchdown in 47 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,880 all probability. And if not, you're going to 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,440 obviously go to overtime, which they did. 49 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:26,400 But because the referees just really just an unacceptably bad 50 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,200 call or non call that cost McDermott his job if you really 51 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,120 think about it. And by the way, then you keep 52 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,640 going. I mean, there was a litany of 53 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:36,200 moves that went a litany of calls that went against the 54 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,800 Buffalo Bills. I if I'm a Bills fan last night, 55 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,040 Saturday night, today. I don't know how I recover from 56 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,760 this. I I really don't, which is going 57 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,840 to lead me into a deeper conversation in a minute. 58 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,040 And then of course, you get the Cooks perception. 59 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,920 Brandon Cooks in the middle of a lot here. 60 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,280 I think Moss was involved in that play as well. 61 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,400 I think he was. Yeah, clearly down. 62 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,840 Did he complete the catch? Oh, what's the rules? 63 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,880 Nobody really understands the interpretation. 64 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,440 I thought the knee was down clearly. 65 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,120 I thought that was a reception clearly instead interception. 66 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,840 And then of course, you get even later where there's a non call 67 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,600 where I thought that I thought a Bills receiver was obviously 68 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,440 interfered with. So pick, make a pick, one call, 69 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,280 2 call, 3 calls and Mcdermott's out of a job. 70 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,360 And, and it really is just crazy. 71 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,240 It's absolutely crazy how this works here. 72 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,440 I don't like it. I don't have an answer for you 73 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,600 necessarily, but I don't understand that you could have a 74 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,720 multi billion dollar NFL machine and not get this shit right. 75 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,960 We're talking about championships, we're talking 76 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,640 about legacies, we're talking about job security. 77 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,920 Come on. Just absolutely incredulous at 78 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,880 at some of the malfunctions and mistakes that the league 79 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,440 continues to make. I don't understand it. 80 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,960 It is just reprehensibly bad. Uh oh, Gruden back in the 81 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,840 league. BT any chance what up, Miami? 82 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,960 Sal, I appreciate that. Thank you for checking in. 83 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,080 I mean, listen, I don't know. I mean, I would you be surprised 84 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,120 if they called Bill Belichick? I'm not saying that I would make 85 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,400 that call necessarily, but this is now going to be the dialogue. 86 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,480 You think Bill had a lot of fun at North Carolina? 87 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,800 And let me tell you something else right now, if and when. 88 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,279 All right. And I don't even really think 89 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,000 that that's going to happen, although his name's going to be 90 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,840 inserted into every conversation. 91 00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:27,520 I think Rex already, somebody texted me and said that Rex 92 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,120 already said it on on ESPN this morning. 93 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,800 I'm surprised Rex isn't saying that they should bring him back. 94 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,200 I mean, if you listen to Rex Ryan, you think he won 3 95 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,840 championships like Rex. I love Rex. 96 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:40,360 Rex was a good coach and A and an awesome dude. 97 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,920 Rex, I mean, I mean, the last five years, Rex telling us he 98 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,680 should be in the mix for every job that's open. 99 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,480 I mean, Rex, maybe the fact that nobody calls you should tell you 100 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,640 something that you're not really viewed in that light as a coach, 101 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,520 at least not as a head coach. So I don't know, maybe they 102 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,400 reach out to Brian Dabel, who's got a great relationship with, 103 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,840 with Josh Allen. You know, he he helped further 104 00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,360 unlock him. What degree of credit Brian 105 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,760 Davis really get for the explosion of Josh Allen? 106 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,760 I'm not sure. I don't really know how you 107 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,080 delegate that. But I think he's perceived very 108 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,000 favorably in the building. There's familiarity and there's 109 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,920 a track record of success. And, and obviously Miami Sal 110 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,920 asks me about Jon Gruden. I would not hire Jon Gruden. 111 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,560 I think Jon Gruden's overrated. And it's not that I wouldn't 112 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,960 hire Jon Gruden because of the emails and all that other stuff. 113 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,080 I'm not even saying that I would not hire Jon Gruden because I 114 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,760 think Jon Gruden is a slightly overrated coach. 115 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,520 And if you're trying to get from here and they're already pretty 116 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,640 high to there, which will be really high, and he's trying to 117 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,680 win that championship, I don't know. 118 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,200 I mean, if Jon Gruden doesn't inherit that, inherit that 119 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,520 terrific Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster, Jon Gruden's got no 120 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,360 championships as a head coach. I'm not saying he's not good. 121 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,480 I'm not saying that he's not a guy that can come into, you 122 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,680 know, a moribund situation and certainly elevated 2 or 3 levels 123 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,280 to competitive to really competitive. 124 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,680 But I can't sit here and tell you guys that I think for sure 125 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,480 that John Grood's a championship coach at this stage. 126 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,080 Too many years of passwords to the contrary. 127 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,600 So just a wild weekend. And again, he got the two duds. 128 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,200 And then last night, Caleb Williams is an absolute freak 129 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,840 show. I know they lost the game, but 130 00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,080 my God. Yeah. 131 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,960 And this opens something up. And I I really, I've gone back 132 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,400 and forth myself. I have personally vacillated on 133 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,200 this. I really have. 134 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,800 I've gone back and forth, I admit it. 135 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,800 But I know my my answer when I have to actually provide the 136 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,600 ultimate answer. But before I give you the 137 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,120 answer, I want to actually present the dilemma. 138 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,640 What what to you is, is tougher. What to you was more 139 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,360 frustrating? Being irrelevant, OK, like like 140 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,640 The Jets all these years and and having no pain, you know, like 141 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,440 the Cardinals, like the Browns, like those teams that do nothing 142 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:54,280 or this incredible hurt that doesn't go away for a while and 143 00:06:54,280 --> 00:07:00,080 it stays with you, especially if your season ends because you got 144 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,200 hosed by the refs. Not necessarily losing to a 145 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,080 better team, you know, or a legend like Mahomes, which 146 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,040 happened when they lost 32 to 29. 147 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,160 I mean, think about how close Mcdermott's been the 148 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,080 championships or, you know, Super Bowls and obviously in the 149 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,360 AFC Championship with, with the game with Kansas City, It really 150 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,120 is crazy. And and that's just, to me, it 151 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,160 just further reinforces the need to overhaul or recalibrate or 152 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,680 whatever words you want to use. They've got to start getting 153 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,360 this right. The stakes are too big and all 154 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,160 that other stuff that I said before, but I really, I, I go 155 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,120 back and forth, like I see the shots of the crowd, right? 156 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,600 Chicago coming back from commercial break, newly 157 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,840 renovated and refurbished Soldier Field, which is a 158 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,000 stadium that is when I was first introduced to football, you 159 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,720 know, early 80s and certainly mid 80s when they had that great 160 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,160 46 defense with Buddy Ryan and of course Walter Payton and 161 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,600 Ditka. And they won the world 162 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,120 championship. They squashed the Patriots, 163 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,680 whatever the heck the score was in the Super. 164 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,760 They beat about like 30 something. 165 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:01,960 It wasn't even competitive, right? 166 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,480 And there's a lot of big games against the Giants back then and 167 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,680 the Redskins back then, the pen Redskins. 168 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,080 So I have seen that camera, even though the stadium looks 169 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,720 different many times in my life going back years and years and 170 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,640 years. And the Bears have won 171 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,560 championship and the Bears have a real short list. 172 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,560 I mean, basically nobody. It's going to be Caleb Williams 173 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,960 because he's that good. They have no great quarter. 174 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,800 Jim McMahon wasn't great. Jim McMahon was alone for the 175 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,840 ride. He was a he was a character 176 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,920 without that defense. Jim McMahon's got no rings. 177 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,200 That's just the way it goes. And I so there's going to be 178 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,919 better days for the Bears. That's why I say that. 179 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:40,280 And they're fans, but you can't tell them that last night you 180 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,039 lose in overtime at home, the elements, the snow, everything 181 00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:47,360 that's going on. And now you, you like I'm, I'm 182 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,840 trying to put myself back in that mindset. 183 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,160 And it's been so long, whether it was 98 with Denver or 184 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,320 obviously back-to-back with Rex, losing championship games for 185 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,600 the AFC. I mean, that's, it's a million 186 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:05,200 years ago for me, that feeling when that game ends and and you 187 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,320 lose the way some of these teams lose. 188 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,800 I, I really think that it's a fair question at least to knock 189 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,520 around and and kick around for a little bit. 190 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,640 Like what? What's the lesser of the two 191 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,760 evils? Not being relevant enough where 192 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,040 you get hurt or being highly relevant, being in the 193 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,960 conversation, you know, year after year after year and then 194 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,840 having your heart smashed into a million smithereens. 195 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,920 I, I, I don't know. By the way, is there any show 196 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,000 date yet planned for Stephen AI? Appreciate that. 197 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,960 Inside the MLB. So the first thing that we had 198 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,280 to do, I don't know if you guys can notice, right? 199 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,960 Got a little bell and whistle down there. 200 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,440 We're going to start trotting out some stuff. 201 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,560 The studio redesign is coming. You look at the logo up there in 202 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:47,080 the upper right for me, upper left for you. 203 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,160 I would imagine, or maybe it's the same, I don't know. 204 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,520 Got a new camera. You know that the camera is just 205 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,920 phenomenal, right? It's just it's a different level 206 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,240 of clarity. So we got some things cooking 207 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,720 and before we go any further, I had now I know that as I say 208 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,880 that this is going to hurt my son who is home from school 209 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,720 today, who helped the daddy get this thing off the ground. 210 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,440 So Colts always going to be the the Co producer and the founding 211 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,200 producer. He's always going to have that 212 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,760 on his resume. But as my little 11 year old get 213 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,000 back, gets back to school and has all these games, he's got to 214 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,560 get on with being a kid and doing his thing. 215 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:24,280 So daddy had a find an adult producer who was available, who 216 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,640 is obviously respected, somebody that I've worked with before all 217 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,720 The Jets on killable stuff after games when I was with the fan 218 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,240 full time, Jared was my producer. 219 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,520 Jared, come on in. Let the world see you. 220 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,480 But look at this guy. What's going on here, buddy? 221 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,200 How you feeling, dude? Nothing much. 222 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,040 Excited. Excited to push the brand 223 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,880 forward, excited to do some producing to get some comments 224 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,200 hating on the time stamps and telling me what to fix. 225 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,800 And yeah, ready. Ready for the whole adventure, 226 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,200 man? Hey, well, that's awesome. 227 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,680 And you know, we obviously had to go through the contracts and 228 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:00,560 you know you your people looking and, and, and and that's that's 229 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,360 the way business goes. So I respected the process 230 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,240 throughout. I always knew that I wanted you. 231 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,160 You sensed right away that you wanted to make this happen. 232 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,320 We just had adopt the I. So here we are man. 233 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,080 And by the way, there is only I don't have many rules on the 234 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,760 show because there's not many parameters that I have to adhere 235 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,280 to. I don't have to. 236 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,720 I'm not beholding to a commercial break. 237 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,040 I'm not beholding to we got this show coming up next. 238 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,680 We do whatever we want, but there is one rule. 239 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,280 All right, I should probably should have told you this before 240 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,800 you actually signed the. I don't know if you're going to 241 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,240 like this, but this is in the very this is in the very small 242 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,840 print that you probably didn't read and hopefully your lawyer 243 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,680 glossed over as well. Any like egregious malfunction 244 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:42,240 mistake. It's your fault. 245 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:44,200 Yeah, that you know that rule, right? 246 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,480 That. Shouldn't even be in the the 247 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,320 fine print that I knew that from the day I forgot to hit the 248 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,560 intro on that one episode. We did remember that. 249 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,280 So listen, man, it's awesome to have you. 250 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,120 And now as things break, like we'll get to some Bellinger 251 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,000 Yankee Mets stuff or if this was me, if McDermott got fired when 252 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,840 I was on the unlike the Beau Buchet thing where you guys to 253 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,560 tell me what's going on in the in the stream here and I'm 254 00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,800 checking my phone. I'm like is did, did they really 255 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,880 sign them? I got my producer. 256 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,120 He is locked in. He is on top of it. 257 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,480 We're building out more concepts every day. 258 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,320 It's going to look better and better and better start adding 259 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,280 some musical elements. So, Jared, it is awesome to 260 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,040 officially have you part of. Thank you. 261 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,840 Welcome, ma'am.

Awesome you know you know we're 265 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,360 but you know you know we're about to blow up here brother 266 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,680 there he is Jeremiah producer all right and yes my son is 267 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:42,720 going to always keep that He is built he's grandfathered in to 268 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,680 the you know he was the executive producer for about 3 269 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,400 weeks or so now he is for perpetuity. 270 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,960 He is always locked into that role. 271 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,160 He was the first producer BT Unleashed and he was awesome. 272 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,640 So I thank him for that. All right, now you think about 273 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:03,160 the the hurt, right and the pain and, and you try to like juggle 274 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,760 not mattering. Like there's nothing worse than 275 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,480 not mattering. Like if you don't matter, you 276 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,480 just don't matter. Like there's no way to. 277 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,560 I don't need to church that up. We all know what that means. 278 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,160 You don't matter. You, you don't. 279 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,600 Nobody talks about you unless they're throwing a joke like the 280 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,680 Butt fumble or like the Giants recently until they found the 281 00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:22,480 quarterback and found the coach and John Harbaugh, like all 282 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,360 these things that irrelevance bring you to all right. 283 00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:31,640 It is, it is absolutely. It's it's, it's, it's, it's a 284 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,600 different level of devastation because you're not you're not 285 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,880 amped up for anything. The only thing that excites me 286 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,280 on football Sunday is am I going to win a couple of bets? 287 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,320 How's my fantasy team doing? Which wasn't very good again. 288 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,320 And what am I eating? I'm like, where am I going to 289 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,120 get the sandwich? And you guys by now know what 290 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,480 the sandwich is. Generally sundaes, a little 291 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,200 roast beef, extra thin, extra mozzarella, you know, a little 292 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,520 roasted red pepper, a little oil, a little vinegar, a little 293 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,760 bag of chips, a little ginger ale, little cucumber salad, 294 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,760 sometimes a little shrimp salad. I sit there and I watch bored 295 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,520 out of my mind. I watch The Jets do nothing. 296 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,440 So there's no like I'm never afflicted with this burden. 297 00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:09,960 I never go to the next game or go to bed if it's a Sunday or a 298 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,560 Monday night game where I am distraught. 299 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,840 However, I don't think that that's necessarily a common 300 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:21,120 thought where I I think that some people would be OK with 301 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,920 that. That football knife being 302 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,120 plunged in your football heart like the Bills fans and like 303 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,280 some other fans that just get the wrong end of the stick with 304 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,080 these calls and let's see what Nate is saying here at Nate 305 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,920 under score Jets all right, losing for 10 plays about the 306 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,680 what we're talking about losing for 10 plus years as The Jets 307 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,600 have done them. This is a good point can cost it 308 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,080 an entire generation of young passionate fans. 309 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,480 I would relive I would kill to Why can't I read this? 310 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,200 I would kill the relive 2009 jets playoff runs or the O6 Andy 311 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,920 Chavez great catch. Obviously Adam Wainwright 312 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,080 curveball. Of course, you know Beltran's 313 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,000 got a swing in that spot, but we all know what he's talking 314 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,080 about. Even though they both ended in 315 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,480 heartbreak and all right, so that's a good thought there 316 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,080 Nate, thank you for that. I appreciate the Super chat. 317 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,760 Thank you very much. I understand that, I really do 318 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,520 because when you, when you look at this right and and you look 319 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,520 at the lead up and and this is what you've got to reconcile 320 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,880 from within like me, just got to sit like this on the couch. 321 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,280 All right, You know, I got to fire up the pod here in 30 322 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,680 minutes, Jets are losing 30 to 3, Jets are losing 27 six Jets 323 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,920 are losing 40 to 13. I've got a couple of notes here. 324 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,480 Let me, let me start the pod and let me let a RIP and just, you 325 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,360 know, cathartically yell like an incense lunatic. 326 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,080 Sure. I I guess that anybody could do 327 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,960 that and it gets old after a while. 328 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,920 And yelling for the sake of yelling is maybe it's 329 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,720 entertaining once in a while, but to me it's not incredibly 330 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,240 intelligent. It's this world. 331 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,920 There's really no depth there. So I mean, that's got an 332 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,680 exploration point as well. And at least, at least even with 333 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,720 that loss by the Bills, even with that loss by the Bears, 334 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,160 think about the build up, think about what you get, the equity 335 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,600 that you have with your team and that your team more importantly 336 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,680 has with you, that built in equity. 337 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,160 You get to the draft, all right? You know you're not going first 338 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,800 or second. You don't need a quarterback if 339 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,800 you're a good team. So the position that everybody's 340 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,240 chasing, you already have, that's good. 341 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,400 That's check #1 favorably. And then you get to like OTAs 342 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,600 and offseason workouts and maybe a little free agency. 343 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,680 And now there's that type of energy. 344 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,680 Hey, if you're a good team with cap space, you're really pumped 345 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,360 up. If you're a good team with no 346 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,760 cap space, you're still probably pumped up because good teams 347 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,120 generally have creative GM's and personnel departments. 348 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,400 And then you restructure this and you restructure that. 349 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,200 And guess what? You go from being $3 million 350 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,120 over the cap to suddenly having 2829 or 30 where you can at 351 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,680 least get those reinforcements to hopefully take the next step. 352 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,600 So you're even excited about that. 353 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,160 And then training camp starts and you flock to watch the 354 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,760 practices. You pray that nobody gets hurt. 355 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,119 The real, real nobody. But really, especially the 356 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,440 quarterbacks, you know, we've seen that before. 357 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,480 You pray you get through camp healthy. 358 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,400 Most of the stars don't play at all anymore. 359 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,440 Maybe a series early on, shed the rust and that's it. 360 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,920 So the summer, once the preseason games come on, you're 361 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,680 kind of chilling. You get a chance to see your 362 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,440 team's logo. You still 10, You still going to 363 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,599 the beach, You still watching baseball. 364 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,080 All's good. You got your the whole football 365 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,840 season in front of you and that no, it's a feeling I haven't 366 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:37,400 felt in a long time, but as I can recollect as I dust off my 367 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,040 memory bank brain, it's an amazing feeling like yo, we we 368 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,600 got it. We got one of the best defenses 369 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,640 in football. We can run the hell out of it. 370 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,200 We'll talk about The Jets with with Rex. 371 00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:49,280 We got an old line. This is our year like and that 372 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,600 what you think that it is your year in the NFL. 373 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,320 It's unlike any other feeling that you have with any other 374 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,840 team in any other sport. If you even if you think you're 375 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,880 about to win it like trust me now the Knicks are just I mean 376 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,600 you lost twice to the Suns in five days. 377 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,040 Knicks get your act together, man. 378 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,680 They're playing later. This Knick team. 379 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,600 I think this Knick team is actually busted. 380 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,560 I would make trades. I tweeted that the other night. 381 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,960 This team's not winning anything. 382 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,720 I spoke about that the other day. 383 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,320 And if you guys missed it, go and check out the previous pod. 384 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,800 It's in there. But even though I don't like 385 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,320 this team now, and I do think you've got to reconfigure this 386 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,680 by the end of the dead, by the deadline, I was excited about 387 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,400 the Knicks this year. I knew that they had, you know, 388 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,480 based on the odds and based on Bronson and based on their 389 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,440 talent and a new philosophy offensively. 390 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,880 I was obviously very excited about the Knicks ability to 391 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,800 pursue like get to a championship, maybe mess around, 392 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,440 win one, but certainly get out of the Eastern Conference. 393 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,840 And that that set me up emotionally for a fun. 394 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,320 But now it doesn't mean they can't get there. 395 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,600 I don't think they will, but that level of conviction and 396 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,360 excitement kind of, you know, the fuse together is so 397 00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:59,360 different. It's 9 layers emotionally passed 398 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,440 where you are as a football fan. All right, because I just go 399 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,600 back to my debts. My my jet stays with with Rex 400 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,320 right? So as then the season starts and 401 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,720 you have a good football team September, October, November, 402 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,320 December. And if you have a good team 403 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,600 means you have a great quarterback generally, which 404 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,840 means you got a ton of primetime games, which means your life as 405 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,720 a football fan is fun. The complete antithesis a bite. 406 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,680 And generally you are rewarded with take a pick, 11 on the low 407 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:33,520 side, 12/13 regular season wins. You know, everything's good, you 408 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,600 cooking, playoffs start, maybe you have the buy, at least you 409 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,000 have a home game, generally speaking, right? 410 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:46,000 And then it ends and it's that six or seven month build up and 411 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,080 the ending is so painful. I don't know that there's a 412 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:56,600 worse hurt in sport than losing a big football game with your 413 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,600 team. If you're truly an invested, die 414 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,000 hard fan. I, I, I don't know. 415 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,160 And I mean, listen, I've, I've come up with some, you know, 416 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,760 like Mariano, the broken bad base hit for O1. 417 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,480 That's a different level of hurt versus, say, choking it away in 418 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,480 Denver 98 or even Vinny getting hurt in 99 with the Achilles, 419 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,440 because I knew that that was the end of the jet season. 420 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,200 It's it's next level, it's deeper, it's different level of 421 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,600 pain. And, and that's up to you to 422 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,920 reconcile. I, I, I know my reconciliation, 423 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,840 I would always choose to be relevant. 424 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,800 I'll always take my chances there because if you're 425 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,080 relevant, you could eventually crack through. 426 00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:36,240 And as much as the Bills and the Bears fans feel that today, 427 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,360 eventually the Bills fans will regenerate when they have a new, 428 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,840 provided they like the coach that he's introduced and he got 429 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,840 Josh Hamlin. And the Bears fans will sit 430 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,600 there and say, we just watched a young man make some of the 431 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,120 sickest throws that I've ever seen. 432 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,880 I mean, Mahomes level throws, 18 seconds, falling back backwards, 433 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,760 40 something. Your heart's on a rope. 434 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,200 Are you crazy? Like, so your life is going to 435 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,680 be good for a while. But the pain today, it's 436 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,240 absolutely brutal. Hammer time, 3661. 437 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,360 It's been so long, I don't remember what it's like to not 438 00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:14,200 be numb on Sundays. I'd sell the kidney for a first 439 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,200 round playoff exit. You, you really wouldn't. 440 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,360 But I I I get the point. Yeah. 441 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,160 I mean, it's it's insane. And then you look at it to like 442 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:28,120 53 penalty yards, guys, 53 on a single overtime drive. 443 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,320 That's what the referees decided was, was the way to go. 444 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,840 That's just, it's unacceptable and it is so unfair. 445 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,480 And I understand, like even I know the automated UMS that's 446 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,600 going to change things. But or, you know, say a 5050, 447 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,080 was it a charge? Was it a block? 448 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,400 I know you could review stuff, I get it. 449 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,960 But there's always going to be with almost every call, unless 450 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,120 it's fair or foul, like in baseball, that's, that's clear. 451 00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:56,080 There's always going to be an element of subjectivity because 452 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,720 even the strike zone, like you say, wow, from the, from the 453 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,360 chest to the to the knees, OK. But the National League strike 454 00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:04,360 zone back of the day was different than the American 455 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:06,600 League. So there's always a a stretching 456 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,320 of the boundaries, a little bit of a different interpretation of 457 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,080 of of what, you know, what a strike zone might be. 458 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,520 I mean, there should be no interpretation what a catches. 459 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,480 And and that's the problem with what went down the other night 460 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,640 with Buffalo Saturday night. I mean, he caught the ball, but 461 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,880 he didn't complete the catch. And by the time he completed the 462 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,240 catch, that's what he stole it from. 463 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,520 And that's why it's a big no. I think you got to roar. 464 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,800 His knee was down. If you fumble and your elbow is 465 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,760 hits the turf, is it a like if you have if you possess the ball 466 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,760 and you hit the turf and your elbow or your knee makes contact 467 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,600 with the ground before the ball is being pried away, is that a 468 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,160 fumble? The answer is no. 469 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,240 Like unequivocally. We know that that is very easy 470 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,400 to look at a film or look at a replay. 471 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,320 And the deuce immediately, all right, elbow ground, the ground 472 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,360 ball, dead ball loose ball coming loose before, you know, 473 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,160 an an inch before the elbow hit the ground, it was getting 474 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,160 stripped away. But you, you just you can't, you 475 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,560 can't mess these calls up and you can't be so hasty in the 476 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,760 evaluation and the process of trying to determine what in the 477 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,200 world just happened. And that's what happened. 478 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,360 Oh, good. No, that's why Mcturbin's like 479 00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:20,160 time out. Come on, this is my he knows. 480 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,520 He knows that if he loses that game, he's getting whacked. 481 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,240 Now, I think he's I don't think that was a selfish move, like, 482 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,720 oh, let me really make sure they get this right so I don't lose 483 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,360 my job. No, he's about his team at that 484 00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:34,680 point. But the downstream repercussion, 485 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,640 the byproduct of not 1-2 egregious and a third call that 486 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,240 was highly questionable, just cost a good football coach's 487 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,520 job. Is that right? 488 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,280 The answer is no act at brac 227. 489 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,760 What up brac guys got the bears lid on there Ah here you go 490 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,800 finally now this is the good stuff. 491 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,040 Finally got to see the bears have a great season and able to 492 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,160 watch with my seven-year old son and see the joy on his face with 493 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,240 every win Now listen, you know you know how I love this. 494 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,160 You know I love the kids I love the sports. 495 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,120 I love it all, man, so I get it. And there are certain moments 496 00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:16,480 that you'll just as much as you think it's going to be a daily 497 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,760 occurrence, you know, you never know. 498 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:23,080 I mean, like, you know, if I had children in 96 and 98 and 99 and 499 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,360 2000, we'd be sitting there going to a total World Series 500 00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:29,480 championships in person and watching the road games and 501 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,440 watching the Yankees win 4 championships, you know? 502 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,520 No, but my kids were born in 15 and 16, no championships. 503 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,440 So that's awesome. You didn't win the game, the 504 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,280 bond, this bill. And listen, you're a dad. 505 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,760 I don't have to tell you what's really important. 506 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,720 I mean, winning a game or actually sitting there for 3-4 507 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,520 hours and I'm sure whether it was your wife or their 508 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,400 grandparents or a couple of buddies, whatever might be like 509 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,240 that, that's really what it's about at the end of the day. 510 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:00,040 You're not taking, you know, I'm not taking a 2009 Yankee World 511 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,760 Series championship to the grave. 512 00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:05,040 But I will take the memories that I had during that run. 513 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,760 I will take the memory of being in the Stadium in 1996. 514 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,480 I had just graduated college and I was in the upper deck, so I 515 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,920 was right behind the plate, as high as you can get. 516 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,920 And I got there like as high up as you can get, to be clear. 517 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,440 And I get there at like 2 in the afternoon. 518 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,120 We're hitting all the bars. I mean, I'm 20, whatever I am, 519 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,160 and I'll never forget that I was with one of my best friends who 520 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,400 was in my wedding. Like that's, that's the good 521 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,000 stuff there. And and the losses, they really 522 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:41,960 do hurt, But without a painful loss, the prospects of a life 523 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,280 altering in terms of emotionally and like a bond. 524 00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:48,480 They, they don't exist, you know, yet. 525 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,000 It's it's, it's an emotional roll of the dice. 526 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,280 Where is this the harsh reality of it? 527 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,760 Guys? The more you love something and 528 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,040 not just sports, but the more you love something, then the 529 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,520 more it's going to hurt what it's taking away. 530 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,200 And, and, and I'll, I'll give you a great example. 531 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,560 I joked around with a few of my buddies in town and you guys 532 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:07,800 know how much I love coaching, right? 533 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,400 I've got a couple of more years to do it. 534 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,560 You know, less for my son because he's playing, you know, 535 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,280 more and more high level stuff. More with my daughter because 536 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,760 she's and I don't coach those club teams that say you're 537 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,720 getting older and those are the teams and dad's in the stands 538 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,280 and go do your thing. We'll see what We'll see where 539 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,440 it goes, Right. Where's my daughter? 540 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,520 She's a year. You're 18 months younger. 541 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,240 Yeah. It's easier to coach rec and all 542 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,520 those other things. A little softball and 543 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,160 basketball. But I joke with some of my 544 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,720 friends in town, like I think this is a great parallel. 545 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,840 I think you guys will appreciate this. 546 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,360 I joke with some people in town that when my coaching days are 547 00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:44,520 over, right, I am going to. I mean, I'm obviously joking. 548 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,960 I, I, I think like I'm going to be wandering around the ball 549 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,920 fields with a fungo bat and a bucket of balls looking for 550 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,960 somebody to coach. Like, you know, when the kids 551 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,520 are older and, and, and I've seen so many of the text, like 552 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,520 if I put some and I don't put as much out anymore because they're 553 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,360 getting a little bit older and let them do their own thing. 554 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:04,760 But when they were like real little, like, you know, maybe a 555 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,280 picture of us in the car going to T-ball, you know, first time 556 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,040 dad, you, you lean into all that stuff. 557 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,400 And I remember even then, so many people saying, dude, it 558 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,920 goes by so fast. Enjoy it, enjoy it, enjoy it. 559 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,960 Now, what does that mean about what I'm, what I'm talking about 560 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,760 with sports? Well, I mean, there's a lot of 561 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,960 people who coach and there's a lot of well-intentioned. 562 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,840 I'm not saying I'm a great coach. 563 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:25,920 That's not the point of this at all. 564 00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:28,280 There's a lot of well-intentioned people who 565 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,720 devote their time and and do a good job. 566 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,920 I don't know that you can I don't know that you can love it 567 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,320 more than I actually love it. And I don't know that you can 568 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,480 devote more time than than I actually have already and we'll 569 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,600 still do to an extent. And when you love something that 570 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,960 much, and I do it for my kids, right? 571 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,640 When you love something that much, it's going to break my 572 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,880 heart when it's over. Like I actually believe as I'm 573 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,880 saying this, I'm actually, I'm getting said. 574 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,720 That's how much I love it. And now again, to parallel it 575 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,000 back to sports, when you love something the way the Bills fans 576 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,400 love that team and the Bears fairs Bears fans love their 577 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,960 team. Boy, the hurt when it's gone. 578 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,440 It is. It's really hard to communicate 579 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,640 what it feels like. But then think about the 580 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,760 fulfillment. And that's that's what it's 581 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,600 about, you know, So being irrelevant or being our having 582 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,160 my soul crushed. Give me the ladder any day of 583 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,040 the week. All right, MK Doza, what's up, 584 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,920 buddy? Wouldn't surprise me if Buffalo 585 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,560 goes goes all in for Tomlin to open the new stadium. 586 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,240 New ownership, new energy billionaires flex their 587 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,760 financial might. Financial might. 588 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,720 Wow. Well, are we got to see if Tom's 589 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,080 going to take a year off. I get the sense that he wants to 590 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,320 now the Buffalo job also wasn't open. 591 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,240 I also hope that he doesn't because, you know, once The Jets 592 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,400 hit the bed this year and probably go 5:00 and 12:00, 593 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,560 well, then I'm going to be the loudest leading the Mike Tomlin 594 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,400 charge or hear about The Jets getting Mike Tomlin. 595 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,360 So I hope he doesn't go to Buffalo. 596 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,040 And I I don't think that he will. 597 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,480 I don't know for sure, but it's been and there were a lot of 598 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:09,400 very appealing job openings that were open after the Steelers 599 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,600 moved on from him. It's a little different with the 600 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,200 contract than it was for Harbaugh. 601 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,000 You know, what are you going to give up the trade form and all 602 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,320 that stuff that that's a little tricky. 603 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,920 But yeah, I think that that's fairly interesting. 604 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,080 I, I think Dabel's going to get some run here. 605 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,240 I really do. And I'm not saying that I would 606 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,120 hire Brian Dabel. I'm not saying that. 607 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,800 And you'd have to get, you have to build out the rest of the 608 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,720 staff and and whatever. So I'm not going to get into the 609 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,560 weeds of who I think Dabel can bring with him. 610 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,640 But there is, there is synergy there between the quarterback 611 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,160 and and potentially new, new head coach, number one. 612 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,680 Number two, he knows the area and he knows ownership and I 613 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:46,760 would think he's hardly thought of. 614 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,440 And that's why I said this the other day, the character that 615 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,360 Brian Tables showed right when he called John Horribaugh and 616 00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:00,000 proactively sold him on the on the building and all the 617 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,280 organization on, on the Mara family, on the Tisch family, on 618 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,640 the virtue of the New York Giants, even though they've been 619 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,600 sold down for so long. What a stand up move. 620 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,880 You don't think that that's going to I don't. 621 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,000 I don't think he did that just to oh, in case McDermott gets 622 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,360 whacked, I'll look like a good guy and maybe they'll hire me. 623 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:22,040 No, I think high character people do high character things 624 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,320 either when the cameras on and everybody's watching or when 625 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,440 nobody's watching. I, I don't think you turn 626 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,320 character on and off. At least I'm a staunch believer 627 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,280 in that. That doesn't mean you're going 628 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,120 to be perfect. You know, you could be 629 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,280 well-intentioned, you could have great character, you could try 630 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,480 to do right by people and mess up. 631 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,160 I mean, that's, it's called life. 632 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,400 It's going to happen. But I, I I was really impressed 633 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,040 by that because like, and it's one thing you know that Coughlin 634 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,160 well, I shouldn't say you know that conflicts that didn't end 635 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,120 well, but it was great that Coughlin did it. 636 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,040 But he's a two time champ. He's a revered member of the 637 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,080 giants family. Eli forget it's simple. 638 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,680 Hey, it's Eli, we be the giants great. 639 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,080 Come help us, come save us, right. 640 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,440 So that was easy. Others reached out as well, but 641 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,000 Dabel was fired before the defensive coordinator Bowen was 642 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,880 fired. And if there's going to be a 643 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,200 pettiness or a long memory, it's very easy. 644 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,200 Just put yourself in Dabel's shoes for a minute. 645 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,280 Like, wow, they kicked me out of the building when we had one 646 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,120 good year and I was responsible for because I was able to 647 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,720 resuscitate Daniel Jones and get the offense to be opportunistic 648 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,000 and run and blah, blah, blah, not turn the ball. 649 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,480 Shane didn't do a damn thing because I inherited the roster 650 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,480 and I had to coach him up and then he built the roster up 651 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,040 after that. Like the general matter who gets 652 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,320 hired, the general manager has very little influence on the 653 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,600 initial roster that he inherits. I'm not saying that there's not 654 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,720 like a salary cap dump, but of course the first draft pick that 655 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,800 you make, which by the way, was not good. 656 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,840 I mean, Evan Neal was horrendous and I don't think Kayvon's going 657 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,760 to be here forever. I I, I don't think. 658 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,720 But either way, there was just a really stand up move there by by 659 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,600 Brian Dabel. And I wouldn't be surprised if 660 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:02,760 they reach out. You're going to see a lot of 661 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,240 names. You see a lot of rumblings. 662 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,160 Yeah. What does it say here? 663 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,560 Yeah, I've actually. I see this myself. 664 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,720 I got a couple hours. Me and me and Jared both 665 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,320 clicking buttons there. Jared, you have precedence over 666 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,520 that. You know, I just saw something. 667 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,720 I'll get to it after this. So I coach my kids in basketball 668 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,920 and baseball when they were little. 669 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,040 Loved it. My kids are grown now, but I 670 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,760 look back finally at those days. But no desire to coach other 671 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,080 people's kids. All right. 672 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,600 Yeah. Yeah, I I get it. 673 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,640 I do understand that. Thank you very much for that. 674 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:38,760 But it's I, I listen, I get it. I mean, the reason why you, you, 675 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,720 you get up early and the reason why you lay the uniform out of 676 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,440 the reason why there's an energy if if if you're built like I am, 677 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,080 you know, and, and how much I love it is because you'll love 678 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,720 it. But but you love doing it for 679 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,440 and with your kids. You know, to get up at 7:00 on 680 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,560 a, on a whatever on a Saturday when I'm 60 years old and, you 681 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,240 know, coaching a bunch of kids, I don't know. 682 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,040 Yeah, that would that would be a little bit of a different sell 683 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,400 there. But the I, I, I the prospects of 684 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,200 teaching and connecting that doesn't change much. 685 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,520 This is the one I was going to get to here and I've seen this a 686 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,480 lot. LAN Corleone, BT love for you to 687 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,200 move the show to afternoon drivetime daily listener after 688 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,680 the after the live. Yeah, listen, the reason I 689 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,680 jumped out at 10 and the reason why I plan on staying here at 10 690 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,400 is because I'm a routine oriented person. 691 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,240 So I've been doing 10 AM for a bunch of years, All right, And 692 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,960 1st year, first boutique and then couple of years with Sal, 693 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,560 as you guys know. And by the way, this week is the 694 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,800 BT and Sal live show with Aaron Boone, which we will stream, 695 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,600 which is going to be an amazing night. 696 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,600 I cannot wait. The Vogel Theater is great. 697 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,960 It's going to be a really, really fun night. 698 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,000 And God, if, if, if let me tell you something right now, because 699 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,360 I already know my, my old partner, if the Mets get 700 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,800 Bellinger before this freaking show on Thursday, I might have 701 00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,560 to call them sick. Because if he thinks that I'm 702 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,040 sitting up on that stage in front of 450 people and I'm 703 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,160 going to listen to him just wax on about, Oh, but shit, oh, 704 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:12,760 we're Bellinger, Soto, the whisper, Lindor King Cohen and 705 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,719 the Yankees got nothing. I, I, I, I might lose it like 706 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,320 it's OK if they get Bellinger if the Yankees don't want. 707 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,679 And I'll get to that after more about the not about the Yankee 708 00:34:20,679 --> 00:34:23,440 Met dynamic, but more about the Bellinger thing, like the the 709 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,560 pursuit. But it's OK if you let Bellinger 710 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,280 go. Like I'm not here saying you 711 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,040 should go to 70 years, 190, whatever. 712 00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:32,159 No, he's got a limit. He is what he is. 713 00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:35,400 But if he goes to the Mets and the Yankees by Thursday do 714 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,000 nothing, I am going to be fit to be tied. 715 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,520 So as a warning to the Yankees, if they don't want to get 716 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,600 blasted, you know, if you're going to let Bell and you go, 717 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,560 that's fine, then you better immediately trade for Kwan and 718 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,440 trade for Peralta. You better have a lot of things 719 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,520 up. I mean, the slumber that the 720 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,920 Yankees have been in so far this offseason is mind blow. 721 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,440 Like, what do the Yankees do if they sign Yarborough and they 722 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,800 trade for Weathers? I mean, that's pretty much it. 723 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,680 And they gave an idiotic $22 million qualifying offer for a 724 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,360 center fielder that I don't even like. 725 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,520 That, until they do other stuff, is going to unfortunately be 726 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,800 hitting at the top of the lineup, which is not good for 727 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,320 the Yankees because he strikes out too much and he can't hit 728 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,080 lefties. So, you know, just for my own 729 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,520 sanity, Yankees, do something before I got to be there. 730 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,520 And for next to Sal on Thursday. Oh, man. 731 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,720 And let me ask you something here, so as I render my verdict 732 00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:34,280 on irrelevance or torturous next level, deepest level pain fandom 733 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,960 hurt, You know my answer. Give me the hurt. 734 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,800 Give me the pain because it means that my team's moving in 735 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,640 the right direction. And eventually, like all 736 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,640 unkillables do, there's a regeneration. 737 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,040 You get back, you get the you get the bounce back in your 738 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,920 step. You start on who do, who we're 739 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,400 going to hire as the coach. All right, Who we going to 740 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,160 draft? What do we need? 741 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,840 But really, the way some of these games ended with some of 742 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,560 these calls is just unacceptable. 743 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,960 I've got a question for you, by the way, Jared's Jared still has 744 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:06,960 a job. He's doing a good job. 745 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,840 I get Colt in the other room on on lock. 746 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,320 So if Jared messes up, we can the first show could be his last 747 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,840 one. Can you be? 748 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,160 This is just a general question that I'm going to ask. 749 00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:21,480 And then I'm going to hang out there for two or three seconds, 750 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,760 let it let it marinate for a moment. 751 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,640 And I want to get into this and the impetus behind this topic to 752 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,720 craft this conversation is about Josh Allen. 753 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,360 All right, largely about Josh, but also tying in Aaron Judge. 754 00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:40,440 And the question is very simple. Can you be an all time great 755 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,440 without a ring? Can you be considered to be one 756 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,400 of the I don't mean a Hall of Famer, that's obvious. 757 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,720 Like doings in the Hall of Fame, Barclays in the Hall of Fame, 758 00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:54,400 Stockton, no doubt. I'm talking about when you sit 759 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,920 down and you have a conversation, whether it's on a 760 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,120 show like this or at the bar or on the golf course or whatever 761 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,200 it might be, when you have your sports debates that I know that 762 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,280 you have. Can you be an old timer without 763 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,920 the championship validation? Let it sitting out there for a 764 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:21,240 SEC. Can you now my answer is that it 765 00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:25,360 depends on the sport. Like you can obviously be an all 766 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:30,880 time top of the list great baseball player without a 767 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,920 championship. You can be because there's too 768 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,160 many external factors. There's just too many things 769 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,680 that you can't control. You know, I mean, now Aaron 770 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:44,000 Judge has had a, a weaker post season profile over the last 771 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,840 year was different then he's had a stronger 1 like you cracked 772 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,440 through a year ago. And hopefully that's a 773 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,400 foreshadow of the next couple of years. 774 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,320 If the Yankees get back, if they don't do anything in the next 775 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,800 couple of weeks, I don't even know if they're going to get 776 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,920 back. But like Judge and his, his 777 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,000 quest for a championship is different than say when LeBron 778 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:07,200 was hunted #1 or Magic and Bird were doing their thing. 779 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,440 Because the influence of the basketball players just so, so 780 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,960 much greater than a baseball players We all know now. 781 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,360 I find that it and I was just John down. 782 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,480 Listen, no rhyme or reason. If you said to me, I want to I 783 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,400 want to throw 2. I don't want to get too listed 784 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,440 because it's a lot. So I'll try to minimize him, but 785 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,520 I'm going to give you, you know, no well, the first couple will 786 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:33,320 be in order 789 NBA players and then 789 quarterbacks. 787 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,720 All right, obviously to me, MJ's to go NBA, no doubt. 788 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,800 MJ Kareem's number two. I'm putting LeBron 3, you know, 789 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:48,400 Bird, Magic 4-5 ish. Russell, Wilt, Kobe, Shaq, 790 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,160 Duncan, Steph Hakeem. That's kind of the list, right? 791 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,720 You want to throw in an Oscar Robertson? 792 00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:57,720 I wrote down Jerry West as well, who won a ton of the as, as an 793 00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:00,680 executive one, as a as a player. And I know that that haunted him 794 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:05,680 forever. But the ring culture has changed 795 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,240 how we perceive all these athletes, right? 796 00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:10,440 There is, and I guess on some level there should be a stark 797 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,840 separation between somebody, yes, for sure, Jordan and Ewing 798 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:18,080 or Jordan and Barkley. But are you telling me as now I 799 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,480 get to the NFL list that there is such a difference between say 800 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,640 a Brett Favre who's got one or an Aaron Rodgers who has one 801 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,960 versus Josh Allen 10/12/15 years down the road? 802 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,560 And if there is, the next question is, is that right? 803 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,440 Should that be the case? Now, I, I think you could very 804 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,280 easily say no. And listen, I'm not talking 805 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,960 about Tom Brady's got 7 or Montana, Montana's got 4 or 806 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,280 Peyton's got a couple or Mahomes who has three. 807 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,000 Like I look at the quarterback list and for me it's Brady, 808 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,760 Montana, it's Peyton, it's Mahomes. 809 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,120 After that, you want to throw a little love to Unitus and Elway 810 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,000 Moreno and I'll get back to him because he, he has none. 811 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,080 And the farms, the Rogers, you know, the Steve Young's who's 812 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,040 got a couple. Bradshaw, who I never saw play 813 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,520 in his prime, he's got 4. Staubach's got 2. 814 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,920 But Staubach served obviously came over at the age of 2829, 815 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,840 would have had more. Tarkenton went to, I believe it 816 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,040 was 4 Super Bowls that are in the 70s with Minnesota. 817 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:19,000 Never won, but all time great. So somebody like Josh Allen, who 818 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,160 based on the circumstances of some horrendous officiating, his 819 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,800 season's over, all right now. Unfortunately, what happens is 820 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,880 that the details get lost in the laundry. 821 00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:35,000 So now as lazy people, uninformed people, people who 822 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,080 really just like to scream and shout but don't really know what 823 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,320 they're talking about and really don't really care about sports 824 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,320 the way we do, or at least most of us do, they will parachute 825 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,480 in. Let's say it's 12 years from 826 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,000 now. Josh is retiring. 827 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,640 All right, We're now he's on the back end. 828 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,960 And the Bills are horrendous and they're nowhere near a 829 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,480 championship window shut. No championships you'll hear on 830 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,880 if they're still debate shows at that point right on TV, who 831 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,160 knows anything, it'll be on TV at that point. 832 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,400 Conventionally, probably not. And you will hear people 833 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,840 parachute in. Oh, can't be an old time. 834 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,200 Great. It's got no rings. 835 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,040 And I think, I think that that is the height of laziness. 836 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,160 I really can't stand that. There's no, there's no subtext 837 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,240 there. There's no substance, there's no 838 00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:23,880 depth, there's no intelligence. It's such a lazy statement and 839 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,280 it's lazy frustrating because it's really you can't refute 840 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,520 that that fact like that is a fact that Dan Marino no 841 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,280 championships. I can't be as good as Joe 842 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,040 Montana. Let me ask you something. 843 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,240 Now I know that Joe was clutch and Joe was amazing. 4 Super 844 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:40,400 Bowls, four wins, never lost. I got it. 845 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,520 West Coast offense innovator Walsh, Jerry Rice. 846 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,200 We know. Are you trying to tell me that 847 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,960 if Dan Marino played for Bill Walsh, you know, and had that 848 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:56,240 crew and Dan Marino's thrown to Jerry Rice, that Dan Marino has 849 00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:58,160 no championships? Are you trying to tell me that? 850 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,680 So it's just basically the presence literally of a ring of 851 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:06,960 an object that's so quickly elevates or or in the case of 852 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:12,760 precipitously drops in the minds of some of you, the totality. 853 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,720 Of one's career. I think that that's I think that 854 00:42:15,720 --> 00:42:19,360 that's so inherently weak. Robert Huertas, what up, Rob? 855 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:20,720 Big fan. He's been checking it a lot. 856 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:22,920 I appreciate it. All right, BT is a Jets fan. 857 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,600 I think these two years with the picks we have is a make and 858 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,080 break for the franchise more than any other season in our 859 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,600 history. Do you agree? 860 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,320 Yeah. I, I, I, I kind of do. 861 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,920 I want to do a lot more of that. Robert, I appreciate you hitting 862 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:36,960 me up with that. No doubt. 863 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,280 We've already kind of gotten into and bothers a couple of 864 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,840 players. Certainly won in in terms of 865 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,240 Miami tonight for and I'll give you a thought on the national 866 00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:47,400 championship before we bounce. But you know, I mean is is is 867 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,480 Bane worthy of going? You know, I I don't know if I'd 868 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,800 take them to some might. But you know, if The Jets trade 869 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,400 out, they can get him to get the edge rusher. 870 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,640 I mean, this little window here. I don't know that The Jets have 871 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,120 the right coach. I do believe that The Jets have 872 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,040 the right general manager. So I feel pretty emboldened, 873 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,400 even though The Jets are unwatchably and unspeakably 874 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,600 without a shred of entertainment value and a shred of intrigue 875 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,160 during the games this year. You know, once you got past the 876 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,160 halfway point and they and they made the trades. 877 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:21,440 But like this, this army of draft equity, if it doesn't 878 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,720 propel The Jets, I mean that it. Eventually, I don't mean any 879 00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:27,640 year that. It really just might be time to 880 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,400 to close up shop because that might be the, that might be a 881 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,720 wrap. There might be nothing else to 882 00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:33,360 say at that point, but I do. Robert, I'm with you. 883 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,560 I do think it represents, you know, to maybe to be a prisoner 884 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,120 of the moment. Do I want to say the most? 885 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,560 I mean, it's a little hyperbolic for me because remember The Jets 886 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,480 when The Jets traded Keyshawn, The Jets had four first round 887 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,920 picks in 2000. They took a quarterback in Chad 888 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,000 Pennington. They took a tight end That 889 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,440 didn't really work out. He's good on the games. 890 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,960 And Beck was fine as a tight end, but he wasn't, he wasn't a 891 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,320 matchup problem. Anthony Beck. 892 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,920 And I liked him coming out of West Virginia. 893 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,120 I really liked him. And then of course, they picked 894 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,000 Abraham and Sean Elvis, who changed the complexity of their 895 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,240 defense. And obviously The Jets had some 896 00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:07,320 really competitive years with Herman and some other coaches. 897 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:11,640 So yes, this is going to really set them up to be either, you 898 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:16,240 know, relevant or invisible like they have been. 899 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,040 So let me give you another thing about Josh and his whole 900 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,680 ringless and and ring culture, which is just too bottom line 901 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,040 for me. I think it just lacks too much 902 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,720 nuance and and and it bothers me, right? 903 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,680 But let's just say Josh Allen hit you with some numbers here, 904 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,200 right? So he's already got the. 905 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,240 MVP, so he can't say. That like P and I know Eli is 906 00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:38,760 not a knocking Eli, it's just an example to keep the conversation 907 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,960 going. Like people, to me, they, they 908 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:46,640 take issue when I try to place Eli in the proper tier. 909 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,520 So hear this first. Yes, he's a Hall of Famer. 910 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,360 Yes, he's going to go in. Of course he's going to be in 911 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,880 the Hall of Fame and he should be because he made some of the 912 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,920 most clutch throws against iconic teams, coaches, players 913 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,520 beat Brady. Of course he's a Hall of Famer. 914 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,600 That does not mean that Eli during the regular season over 915 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:11,640 his basically 20 year career was really ever not, let alone not 916 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:17,040 even consistently ever really among the best 2-3 quarterbacks 917 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,480 for in football. I mean, you're watching Brady, 918 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,480 you're watching Drew Brees, you're watching these guys 919 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,680 slinging Matt Ryan won an MVP. You look at these guys put up 920 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,800 these sick numbers and and I know in terms of the the 921 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,000 ultimate accomplishment, yards, touchdowns, Eli's there 922 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,720 understood. But like, you know when you were 923 00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:36,480 betting or when you were doing your fantasy drafts back then, 924 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,560 were you running to take Eli? The answer is no. 925 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,720 Now, if Eli's your quarterback of your team, you think you got 926 00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:46,000 a chance to win because he's durable, he's reliable, he's 927 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,960 emotionally reliable, he's tough, he's clutch. 928 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,040 I'm not trying to denigrate Eli, but I do think it's really 929 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,480 interesting how somebody like Eli Manning, who's got 2 930 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,360 championships and let's say Josh. 931 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,600 Wins none, you tell. Me who's been like the better 932 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,480 quarterback for the moment they stepped in the league. 933 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,720 I don't even think it's close. It's Josh Hellman and it's like 934 00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:10,480 the the ultimate achievements that that bottom line 935 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,840 accomplishment, which is dependent upon so many things. 936 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,280 Do you have a good GM? Do you have good ownership? 937 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,920 Do you have a good old line? Do you have a good defense? 938 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,600 You know, are you lucky in terms of injuries? 939 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,800 You know, are you the beneficiary of of a favorable 940 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:30,840 call or do you get screwed by a shit call, which we've seen many 941 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:35,280 times, including this weekend. So there are a lot of variables 942 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,600 there. But now, again, just to finish 943 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,000 the thought, let's push it forward 10/12/15 years Josh 944 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,160 Allen either at the end or retired. 945 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,440 So right now he's got 220 touchdowns. 946 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,360 He's got 30,000 yards. He's already got 5000 rushing 947 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,760 yards. He already got 79 rushing 948 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,120 touchdowns, which is by far the most in the end in NFL history. 949 00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:53,560 I know the game's changed a lot. So you've got a, you've got to, 950 00:46:53,720 --> 00:46:55,480 you know, incorporate that to the evaluation. 951 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,560 But Josh Allen is an absolute monster now. 952 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,080 He's got a lot of football to go and the rules of the game will 953 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:03,840 allow him to play for a long time. 954 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:09,080 He's a big, strong, fast, dedicated quarterback who knock 955 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,840 on wood is going to be playing for another 10 years and is 956 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:17,600 going to be incredibly like relevant in terms of MVPS and 957 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,560 being on the upper echelon of quarterbacks for at least six or 958 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:22,960 seven. And I think that that's being 959 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,760 conservative, right. So I say all that and now I push 960 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,480 it forward statistically, you know, there is AI was doing the 961 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,320 numbers before the show. There is a good chance that if 962 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,440 you just, I'm just doubling, it's a simple math, but then 963 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,840 I'll contextualize it. If he goes from 220 touchdowns 964 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,040 to 4:40, that is sixth in NFL history just throwing. 965 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,480 If he goes from 30,000 yards and you double it, it's 60,000 966 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,320 yards, which would be obviously I think it's like 9 or 10 or so, 967 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,240 right? And then obviously at that point 968 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,360 he's over 10,000 yards. Tink he's got 10,000 yards as a 969 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,200 running back and you're going to Josh Allen is going to have more 970 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,520 yards running than tiki and some great running backs in NFL 971 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,000 history. Not to mention that at that 972 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,560 point you have it. You know if if he double s the 973 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:11,280 rushing touchdowns 160 rushing touchdowns now are you trying to 974 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,800 tell me and I know he didn't play well he made some 975 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,320 horrendous throws in that game just didn't see things I'm like 976 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,960 how did you not see that? How did you throw that? 977 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,680 How did you do that? I'm not defending his 978 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:28,360 performance this weekend. He fucked all right, but what 979 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,680 are the Buffalo Bills without him? 980 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,000 Do the Bills have a slew of great receivers? 981 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,160 You know, like not this year, but like Mahomes had for a 982 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,200 couple of years, you know, got a couple of reliable tight ends. 983 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,040 You've got a good running back. You've got a lot of injuries. 984 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,600 You you lost Stefan Biggs how Biggs look over the weekend 985 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,560 pretty good. How did he do? 986 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:55,880 It's just there's just, I don't take this the wrong way, but 987 00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:03,160 there's just a lot of stupid, stupid, baseless opinions that 988 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,360 more and more coming from people who don't know what the hell 989 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,600 they're talking about. And I, you know, I, I can't let 990 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,800 that happen, at least on my show, you know, I'm going to 991 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,360 have to fight back against those people because a lot of those 992 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,640 peoples, a lot of those people either didn't play and listen, 993 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,840 it doesn't matter. Like, oh, you didn't play in the 994 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,120 pros. I know I'm not even talking 995 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,280 about me. But if you played something, 996 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,920 even if you were just a really good high school player, like a 997 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,560 good player and a good program, you like you went through the 998 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,280 rigors of training. And I say that because I think 999 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,760 if you, and then obviously next level will be college, 1000 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,280 especially if it's D1. And then maybe if you bounced 1001 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,880 around the minors, whatever it might be, or played overseas in 1002 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,440 basketball or even football. Now to me, you just have a 1003 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,160 deeper understanding and a deeper appreciation of what you 1004 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:52,200 can and what you cannot control. Like that's why I say I'm not 1005 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:57,800 saying I'm smarter than people. Some people I'm not saying I I 1006 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,920 love sports more than some some I do some I don't, you know, 1007 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,440 like if the Yankees lose a regular season game, All right, 1008 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,120 I mean, I don't love it, but good night. 1009 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,640 I'm going to bed. I got two kids. 1010 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:08,600 I got a wife seen in the morning. 1011 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,200 Let's go, let's do it again. Hit, you know, reboot. 1012 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,960 Come on, 162. And and this is not a knock. 1013 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,760 This is just a different level of fandom. 1014 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:20,080 When the Mets lose a tough game, Eric, Eric Evan is cranking up 1015 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:24,400 the the show, the Rico, He's doing an hour and a half recap 1016 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:28,200 like like it was Game 6 or game seven playoff series. 1017 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,520 And I appreciate that. I respect that. 1018 00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:34,640 That's just not me, not at this stage, not for a regular season 1019 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,560 game. But I do think that if you 1020 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:43,720 played, you understand that it's really hard to be great. 1021 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,640 And I think too often greatness is stretched within the 1022 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,640 boundaries. Like like this guy may have been 1023 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:55,480 really good, but great. No, no, like you can't have 9 1024 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,680 great quarterbacks currently playing. 1025 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,480 You can't. You could have your top ten 1026 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,680 list, but but there's got to be a pecking order of all right, 1027 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,800 once you get past, you know, on the Holmes A staffer who's going 1028 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,800 to win the MVP. You know, a Burrow when he's got 1029 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,240 some some defense around them playing meaningful games. 1030 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,920 Josh Allen, Lamar, when he's healthy, he's got his act 1031 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,640 together. Like there's there's some that 1032 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,720 I'll and maybe one or two others clearly, but there's some who 1033 00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:25,360 are great and there's others who are good and this notion, this 1034 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,160 nonsense just because he played all and he played terribly. 1035 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,360 I mean, Josh Allen was bad, man, but to think that that's going 1036 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,320 to reposition him in my mind as a guy who was like, not great. 1037 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,320 No way would you bet on Josh Allen to bounce back or to or to 1038 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:44,200 or to crumble further. I know my answer, you know. 1039 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,520 And it's it's it's I. Think it started with the ring 1040 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:49,360 culture I. Really. 1041 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,720 Do I? Think it started with LeBron and 1042 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,240 I'm not even you know, I'm not a big LeBron James fan and this 1043 00:51:55,240 --> 00:51:56,880 isn't even a knock. I'm just saying I'm not a big 1044 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,480 fan at all. I think he's incredibly 1045 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,120 arrogant. I think he's a little delusional 1046 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,000 with certain thing can't shine Jordan shoes. 1047 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,080 I think he's so wrapped up in himself. 1048 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,280 Like I don't know, he just turns me off. 1049 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,320 Not to mention like jumping into some really important things 1050 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,040 over the years without having all the facts. 1051 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,960 Not a big LeBron James fan not but he's an amazing player. 1052 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,920 But would he be viewed as the amazing player, the statistics 1053 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,000 aside? Because Josh Allen's going to 1054 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,240 have all those stats if he didn't, if he didn't go ring 1055 00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:29,880 chasing, like if he stayed with the Cavs, like Josh Allen in all 1056 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,480 probability will stay with the Bills. 1057 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,680 And let's say Josh has none and Lebron's got 4 unless he gets 1058 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,200 one more or he doesn't. Either way. 1059 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:40,240 Like, think about what LeBron had to do to get those Now, you 1060 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,840 know, All right, that's the modern NBA. 1061 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:48,240 And it's, it's not illegal in the sense of, you know, doing it 1062 00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:50,760 the old fashioned way. Maybe for some it's immoral. 1063 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:51,280 Yeah. Yeah. 1064 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,240 You know, I'm stretching the boundaries on that word, 1065 00:52:53,240 --> 00:52:55,240 obviously, But you know what I mean? 1066 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,120 I just, I've always been a guy that respects the grind more. 1067 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:03,080 And even if the grind falls short, like Patrick Ewing, I 1068 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,240 know it's so long ago at this point, but he's my guy. 1069 00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,160 So that's one of my points and references, right? 1070 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,680 A guy like Ewing who is just willing and Nick team with no 1071 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,840 true star next to him, you know, going up against Jordan and 1072 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:20,720 Pippen and Rodman and one of the best coaches of all time. 1073 00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:23,360 And obviously he had Pat, but he didn't have Pat for his entire 1074 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:29,240 career, you know, So I tend to place more value in the the 1075 00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:34,160 great player who elevates an average team or slightly above 1076 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,600 average to to a height that they probably shouldn't be at. 1077 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,120 Then somebody like I'm not saying Pat's better than LeBron, 1078 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:44,600 but almost like more respect, just personal respect than 1079 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,080 somebody who is in one situation, views another 1080 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,360 situation as a quicker shortcut, like basically the circumvent 1081 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,680 some of the arduous things that you got to do to be a champion. 1082 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,280 Jump in. Let me get Bosh. 1083 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,840 Let me go with my boy Wade. Let me win a couple now let me 1084 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,720 go with Anthony Davis, win one in the bubble. 1085 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,440 And people say I'm better than Jordan. 1086 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:07,160 Why yes, better than Jordan. What better than Jordan stop. 1087 00:54:07,720 --> 00:54:11,680 And I, I think there's a lot of people that do miss the mark 1088 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:17,920 because the championship, the ring has been so centralized. 1089 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,720 And I think there's just a lot of lazy opinions out there. 1090 00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:24,600 Guys, are I really doing a lot of lot of lot of opinions I 1091 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,760 don't respect, I don't subscribe to, I really don't engage in 1092 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,400 because I think, I think it's if you try to have that debate with 1093 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,280 somebody who is all about the rings, you want to talk about 1094 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,520 being frustrated. I mean, yeah. 1095 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,520 But I, I, I can't, I'm not here to change your mind, just like 1096 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,280 I'm not here to change your mind about politics. 1097 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,920 Like if you believe what you believe, well, then you believe 1098 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,320 what you believe. And some people are open minded, 1099 00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,280 which and those are the people that you can have a political 1100 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,840 discourse with. You know, they're not coming at 1101 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,400 you with 9000 copy points, both sides, by the way, where they 1102 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,920 just hammer you over the head. They don't listen to a word you 1103 00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,920 say. And as soon as you finish your 1104 00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:02,920 last syllable, they pound you with the five things that they 1105 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,480 believe is wrong with your guy or your party or your opinion or 1106 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,000 your view, whatever. And a lot of it guys kind of the 1107 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,480 same in sports. It's not time for it. 1108 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:17,120 I think it's it's lazy. So I mean Aaron Rodgers, who I 1109 00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:18,680 think is. Probably the most pure thrower 1110 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,880 of the football, maybe the most pure quarterback ever. 1111 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,880 Marino had more zip. Montana never lost. 1112 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,920 Brady's the GOAT in terms of achievement. 1113 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,320 I I think if you're looking at the conveyor belt for 1114 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,920 quarterbacks, to me, Aaron Rodgers is the best smart, can 1115 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:36,400 throw, can run accuracy, played a long time, but he's only got 1116 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,040 1. So you try to tell me that guys 1117 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,440 who have more, you know, I mean, is, was that way really better 1118 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,280 from A to I know Elway was amazing. 1119 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,320 Interesting example to use because he was amazing like A-Z 1120 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,120 was Elway truly better than Rodgers? 1121 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:53,680 I don't know about that. How about this MK Adoza was 1122 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,880 Jordan the greatest of all time in his first seven years? 1123 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,800 He was ringless. No, but I don't know that 1124 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,840 anybody's anointed the greatest of all time during their first 1125 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,000 567 years. I think that that comes now 1126 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,800 Mahomes a little bit a little different because longevity in 1127 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,120 football is, is different than basketball. 1128 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,080 Certainly baseball, certainly basketball now we play forever. 1129 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,600 If you, you know, you avoid real injuries, games different. 1130 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,680 Whereas with the with the baseball too, you know, I mean, 1131 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,720 if you come up early and you know, and you and you have 1132 00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:24,240 health, like Jeter play a little time. 1133 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,200 Mike Trout's been banged up a lot. 1134 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:27,800 So that resume is going to look very different. 1135 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,840 Aaron Judge came up late because he played in college. 1136 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,320 That resume is going to look a little different, probably fall 1137 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,560 short of some of the old time greats. 1138 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,160 And when I say old time greats, I'm talking about Ruth and and 1139 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:39,960 Garrick's a little different with some of the RBI totals. 1140 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:45,560 But or Ruth and Aaron unusual like a Ted Williams, he's going 1141 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,440 to fall a little bit short in some of those benchmark 1142 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,160 departments. But are you telling me that if 1143 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,920 I'm sitting in the grandstand in 1920, whatever and I'm watching 1144 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:58,000 Babe Ruth play, that Babe Ruth was better than Aaron Judge? 1145 00:56:58,240 --> 00:57:00,600 You could tell me that I'm I'm I'm not buying it. 1146 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,360 I'm not believing it. But if Aaron Judge finishes with 1147 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,520 no rings, all the dissenting voices and all the detractors 1148 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,440 never going to ring, drop the pop up in the World Series. 1149 00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:14,640 I know, I know I just placed a little more value on on the 1150 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:19,280 entire spectrum of 1's career. And I think with that that last 1151 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:25,040 text there with with Jordan. I know this going. 1152 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,080 Find it on YouTube because I've done it in the past. 1153 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,720 It's awesome. Go and find a clip from Bobby 1154 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,240 Knight. I'm not even a fan of Bobby 1155 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,000 Knight. I thought Bobby Knight was 1156 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,000 actually a pompous ass. Some of the things he said to 1157 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,600 female reporters. Not a fan at all. 1158 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,600 Actually a jerk and but a great coach. 1159 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,840 And he said it was after the 84, I think it was the IT was, well, 1160 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,640 the Olympics, but all like the Olympic trials, like Mullen was 1161 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,080 there, Saint John's, MJ was there. 1162 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,200 I think like Perkins and and maybe what was worthy there, Sam 1163 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:58,120 Perkins was there. Steve Allford from Indiana 1164 00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,880 played for coach Knight. Anyway, Bobby Knight said this 1165 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,760 before Jordan was even in the NBA. 1166 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:05,600 He's the greatest player he's ever seen. 1167 00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:10,000 And Bobby Knight was not one for hyperbole or showering people 1168 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,320 with unnecessary praise. He didn't even praise Steve 1169 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,360 Alford, his own guy who was a sharpshooter and one of the 1170 00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,920 great college players, you know, maybe ever. 1171 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,640 Steve Alford. I mean, he threw around praise 1172 00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:23,840 like, you know, you can throw around a manhole cover. 1173 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,840 You just can't move it much. So I I get it's a good, it's a 1174 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,800 good point. We weren't sitting here saying, 1175 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,480 oh, Jordan's the GOAT five years in. 1176 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,960 But we also didn't have GOAT conversations. 1177 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:39,440 I didn't once, not once, not once in my entire childhood did 1178 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:44,760 I have a debate with anybody about like I, I never heard the, 1179 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:49,280 the acronym GOAT, like it just it's fairly recent really. 1180 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,520 And again, it's basically from LeBron and then MJ, the 1181 00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,120 championships and all that. And now the quarterback he, 1182 00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,040 Payton was, was feeling this like, come on, you better win, 1183 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,080 right? Better win #2 Aaron Rodgers. 1184 00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,000 Hey, you going to win #2 Like to validate that, you have to 1185 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,920 validate anything. I watch Aaron Rodgers play. 1186 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,320 I watch him play Cal. I watched him play after 4 was 1187 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,640 gone and he took over. And I watched Sunday night game 1188 00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:16,280 after Monday night game after 425 game his entire career when 1189 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,840 he was at his prime. And I have never seen anybody 1190 00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,240 play the position better than Aaron Rodgers. 1191 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,200 But you'll have people who jump in, oh, Montana's got 4, he's 1192 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:24,920 better. What? 1193 00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,240 No, he's not. I don't even think Tom Brady was 1194 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,160 better than Aaron Rodgers. But yeah, obviously there's a 1195 00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:34,440 statistical GOAT and an accumulation GOAT, and then 1196 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:35,960 there's there's other interpretations. 1197 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,400 It's just frustrating, man. It really is. 1198 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,800 And you know, somebody like Terry Bradshaw who you know, you 1199 00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,080 look up, I know it's a very different NFL and I don't want 1200 00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,480 to even go back that far because it's, it's not even applicable 1201 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,680 at this point. But you look at Terry Bradshaw's 1202 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,320 first couple of years, I think Terry's first year, I think he 1203 00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,800 had like 6 touchdowns and 21 picks, something like that. 1204 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,720 Something crazy where they were saying in Pittsburgh, where I'm 1205 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,400 not saying this, where they were saying he was stupid and he was 1206 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,560 dumb and he couldn't handle the playbook. 1207 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,640 Not smart enough to to digest the playbook at the NFL level. 1208 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,800 They were calling him an idiot. Like that was the word on the 1209 01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,440 street. Terry Bradshaw not smart and he. 1210 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,040 Won four championships, but like, is he winning anything 1211 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,000 without me and Joe Green and that great defense with Chuck 1212 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,840 Knoll? I'm not saying he never made any 1213 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:24,080 clutch throws here, but like, Brad Shows got 4. 1214 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,000 Josh Allen might have none. And you want to tell me that 1215 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,520 Brad Shows better than Josh Allen? 1216 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,440 Not by Matt, not by my measurement, None. 1217 01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,440 Would you agree with that? I go mji. 1218 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,720 Go Kareem, I go LeBron, I go Bird. 1219 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,160 I go Magic. Those are my top five, right? 1220 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,280 Just to quickly encapsulate that. 1221 01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:52,560 And then I would go and I usually do Brady 1, Montana 2. 1222 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,320 You know, if Mahomes didn't get. Hurt in the last couple of 1223 01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,320 years, the numbers have been a little, little, little lean 1224 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:04,480 statistically, but I I'll still say Peyton 3, Mahomes 4. 1225 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,520 And then that fifth spot is obviously up for interpretation, 1226 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,480 you know? But the slander of some of these 1227 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:12,840 players is absolutely. Insane. 1228 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:14,640 I don't get it. All right, let me give you a 1229 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,400 little baseball vote here. Get those. 1230 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,560 Get those texts coming here, Jared doing a good job putting 1231 01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:20,680 them up. If you want to jump in a little 1232 01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:22,720 bit easier to see the Super chats, I'll read them. 1233 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,680 Listen, by the way, the beautiful thing about this too 1234 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,880 is that less than you want to be is all over the map. 1235 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,760 But this is going to be more free flowing. 1236 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,560 I'm going to come in every day with three or four things I want 1237 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:34,640 to hit. I'm going to give you something. 1238 01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,600 Hopefully I'm going to give you something that's compelling, 1239 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,960 something to react to. Very like without that, you've 1240 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,440 got no show. It's not like me coming in and 1241 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,360 throwing out a phone number and taking numbers because the 1242 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,160 phone's not even set up yet. Which it will be. 1243 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,160 And that will be Jared's job to answer them. 1244 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,680 And by the way, to figure out how to actually hook it up. 1245 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:52,560 We bought the number. The rest is on Jared. 1246 01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:53,760 Jared, you got to get that thing going. 1247 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,160 So I take a lot of pride in in having several things that you 1248 01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,640 are ready to engage in, react to whether you would disagree or 1249 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:02,840 agree. It's it's it's really 1250 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,080 irrelevant. Just something that sparks 1251 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,320 thought sparks intelligent conversation. 1252 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:11,080 All right, But I am totally OK with taking a quick side turn, 1253 01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,840 whether it's a story, you know, I got a ton of crazy stories. 1254 01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:18,000 Some I can tell, some I can, but I'll I'll tell someones that I 1255 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,520 couldn't even tell on the radio overtime. 1256 01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,840 I promise you it's got to make sure the kids are in school. 1257 01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,360 If I can't say any today. And I think it's fun to be able 1258 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,760 to bounce around a little bit. I think it's it's a freedom and 1259 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:30,880 it's it's a latitude that I have here that you don't necessarily 1260 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,400 have doing, you know, conventional terrestrial radio 1261 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,720 where you're again, you're beholden to a clock and and just 1262 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,000 different things. So this is this is this fun at 1263 01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:47,320 at telly lot 77 growing up. Yes, that's true, absolutely 1264 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:48,920 true. That's a great point. 1265 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,640 Man, I I forgot about that. Growing up being the GOAT was 1266 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,040 actually considered a bad thing. It means you choked. 1267 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,040 I remember. Oh God, who was the elders not 1268 01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:58,560 nodding? Who was the illustrator? 1269 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,400 The in in the newspapers and the Daily News growing up, like when 1270 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,040 the Yanks and probably really more the Mets because the Mets 1271 01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:09,280 were in the playoffs more 8688. I didn't see the Yankees in the 1272 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,880 playoffs until 95. Really. 1273 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:17,240 I remember 8181 and then 95, as I've said, and after a bad game, 1274 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,520 like if a pitcher got rocked, you get the goat horns. 1275 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:22,880 Yeah, go to the game. That is true. 1276 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:27,600 Talk about completely flipping the absolute meaning of that. 1277 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,360 Oh, my good God. Wow. 1278 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,160 That is true. That is absolutely true. 1279 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:33,840 The goat horn. You did not want to get the goat 1280 01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:35,680 horns. Now it's all about being the 1281 01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:36,800 GOAT. Yeah. 1282 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,120 Joseph Mehring. What up? 1283 01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,680 BT God bless, bro. Much love for Marine Park. 1284 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,960 That is my hometown. Thank you very much, dude. 1285 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,000 I appreciate that you didn't have to do that, man. 1286 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,440 That's that's completely unnecessary. 1287 01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,320 But I certainly appreciate it. And Marine Park is still holding 1288 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:49,960 up, man. I don't. 1289 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:51,880 You know, it's funny. I don't go back home much 1290 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:55,680 anymore only because it's easier for my parents to come here 1291 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,560 because we have more room and they've got, you know, in the 1292 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,560 basement, they've got basically a bedroom and a shower and it's 1293 01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,360 just a little more space. But what a great place to grow 1294 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:05,480 up. Look, great play. 1295 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,200 There was always a game on the street. 1296 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:11,520 Ton of athletes, you know, ton of good teams, you know, parents 1297 01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,680 were all invested and and watching after each other. 1298 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,920 It was just different. I mean not just Marine Park, but 1299 01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,880 like growing up in the 80s and into the 90s in high school. 1300 01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,240 You got to do whatever you want, like you had to, really. 1301 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,600 Be sloppy to get caught doing something. 1302 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,720 You know what? I got a funny story for you. 1303 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,080 I got 1 before. I was just thinking about this, 1304 01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,280 right? So now my dad, as you know, is 1305 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,080 retired detective, didn't miss anything. 1306 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,280 Now, at this point, he made the transition to the business 1307 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,920 sector, right? Suit and tie, owned his own 1308 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,520 business. And that's why we went from like 1309 01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,040 cars that were like 12 years old that you hope weren't going to 1310 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,360 break down on the side of the road like the Impala, whatever 1311 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,600 it was, you know, and rolling windows down to suddenly we got 1312 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,840 a new car. Things changed, right? 1313 01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:02,040 So I remember, man, I didn't even have my license yet. 1314 01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,000 God, what an idiotic move on my part. 1315 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,680 And I know he's watching. If my son or daughter ever did 1316 01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,560 this day, it would be the that would be it. 1317 01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:12,200 Like you, just I. I can't. 1318 01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,000 I wanted. To go get a haircut, right? 1319 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:18,240 And my dad left, he always left the car there cuz he would take 1320 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:19,800 the train into into New York City. 1321 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,040 I like. I was with my buddy Pat. 1322 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:27,720 And Timmy and we go to Ginger Rose Haircut by Sheepshead Bay. 1323 01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:29,600 The diner used to be their great haircuts. 1324 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,640 Matter of fact, I don't know if it's there anymore. 1325 01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,640 And even if it is, it doesn't matter. 1326 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,960 I don't have any hair. But like they would give great 1327 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,400 flat tops and all like the lines in your head. 1328 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,000 And in the, in the late 80s, early 90s when everybody was 1329 01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:43,280 doing that, they were phenomenal. 1330 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:48,120 And the owner, one of the owners was from Astor Place in 1331 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,520 Manhattan, which is the 1st place I used to go to. 1332 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,800 I remember my freshman year in high school, a couple of us from 1333 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,360 the basketball team would go and get like really cool haircuts 1334 01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,000 for basketball. Anyway, so we go there and I 1335 01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:05,360 want to go get a haircut. So I take the car and I have a 1336 01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:08,600 license. So my dad comes. 1337 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:11,640 How brazen is that? Wouldn't it? 1338 01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:12,480 Now? I did. 1339 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,520 I'm not thinking about the legal ramifications. 1340 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,520 Thank God. God was on my side at that 1341 01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,760 point. But I'm 16 years old and I'm not 1342 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:23,640 really thinking. So take the car and and I didn't 1343 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,440 get caught, but I guess I parked it again. 1344 01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:31,080 Detective Roots, he sees the cars maybe up 9 inches from 1345 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,080 where he left it from the night before. 1346 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:36,720 Now he didn't think that I would, that I would do that, 1347 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,000 that I would like have the stones to do that. 1348 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,560 And somehow I did. So he comes in and he's 1349 01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:45,800 incredulous. And when my dad was mad, there 1350 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,680 was like, it was, I was scared shit. 1351 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,800 I've always said like in a good way, like in a respectful way, 1352 01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,200 in a fearful way. Great guy. 1353 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,160 You heard him on The Fan. Amazing guy. 1354 01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,880 My last show, Great, great person sit there, watch the 1355 01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:01,800 Knicks in the basement, watch baseball. 1356 01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,440 Like he didn't care if it was school and it was respect if I 1357 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:09,120 was disrespectful to my mom, which was almost never because I 1358 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:12,320 learned my lesson early, or my sister, that was it. 1359 01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,200 Or if I really messed up in school, that was it. 1360 01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,120 Everything else, he really, he was just like, yeah, you're a 1361 01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:19,640 kid. Do you think so? 1362 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,040 He comes home and he's like, did you take the car today? 1363 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,560 Like I couldn't believe that I would do it. 1364 01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,720 I'm like, no, there's no way. Why would I do the car? 1365 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,600 No. So he's like, all right. 1366 01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:34,120 He's like I, you know, and he believed me. 1367 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:35,880 And usually when I was lying, he didn't believe me. 1368 01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:41,120 He bought that. 1 So I said to. Myself, I go, well that was 1369 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:45,320 easy, I guess I'll take it again like 2 days, whatever it was. 1370 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:50,760 So I do it again. Now the tone completely changes. 1371 01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:52,640 He goes, Did you take the car today? 1372 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:58,000 Like it went from you didn't take the car, did it to what I 1373 01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,360 just said, no, there's no way. Why do you keep asking me this? 1374 01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:06,040 Well, I didn't no. The next day or it was either 1375 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,440 like the next day or two days after that, he took a piece of 1376 01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:12,640 chalk and he on one of the tires, one of the front tires 1377 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,720 made a white line small like I couldn't see it. 1378 01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:21,000 So that when I took the car again, which I did, if it wasn't 1379 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:26,279 parked right on the white line, which he made, then that was the 1380 01:08:26,319 --> 01:08:28,600 answer. And let's just say that he got 1381 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,880 the answer very quick. And BT had a rough couple of 1382 01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:33,760 weeks there. But no, that's where he parked 1383 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:35,640 for it. That's, that's kind of the 80s 1384 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:36,760 nineties. You push the envelope. 1385 01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:38,760 But thank you for reaching out, man. 1386 01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:43,800 So the, the Bellinger stuff here very quickly on the on the, on 1387 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,359 the Yanks and the Mets. Listen, I mean, I understand 1388 01:08:46,359 --> 01:08:47,800 that the Yankees haven't done a damn thing. 1389 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,840 And I understand I really like what the Mets did with Beau 1390 01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,520 Bichette. Matter of fact, I identified 1391 01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,479 Beau Bichette as a better fit for the Mets. 1392 01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,120 And I wasn't alone. I'm not trying to say I was the 1393 01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:58,840 only one who thought this because a lot of people felt 1394 01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:03,000 that, you know, Tucker, does he love baseball and hearing some 1395 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,640 weird things out of Chicago, Is he all in and what kind of deal 1396 01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:08,600 you're going to give him in? There's not a great fit 1397 01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:10,880 defensively with soda, whatever, somebody's going to have to 1398 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,160 switch position. So there were some interesting 1399 01:09:13,319 --> 01:09:17,160 conversations about him at that point and and I or I just 1400 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:18,160 thought Bichette would be better. 1401 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,760 I thought, you know, short term, he's not going to get the 9 or 1402 01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:22,880 10 years which Toronto offered him at that point, right? 1403 01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,200 And he and he turned it down. So short term. 1404 01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:26,960 Now you got to figure things, some things out. 1405 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,560 Obviously Detroit, Beatty, whatever you do, but I just 1406 01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:31,680 thought a righty stick. I mean, you look at it, Lindor 1407 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:33,920 1, Bichette 2, Soto 3. It's great. 1408 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,240 It's a very now they got a lot more to do pitching whatever and 1409 01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:39,760 you see what maybe you trade Beatty, maybe you get Peralta, 1410 01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,640 maybe he's involved in that. Maybe the spro whatever to 1411 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:44,439 school ball. I I don't know. 1412 01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:45,359 I don't know what's going to happen. 1413 01:09:45,359 --> 01:09:47,600 But the Mets I do not believe believe we're done. 1414 01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:52,840 We know the Yankees are done with their negotiations on Cody 1415 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,360 Bellinger. And, you know, I'm able, some 1416 01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,800 are, and I'm able to totally separate my thoughts about the 1417 01:09:57,840 --> 01:09:59,400 Yankees and my thoughts about the Mets. 1418 01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:01,960 And my thoughts about the Yankees is more personal at this 1419 01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,000 point. I am with the Yankees in terms 1420 01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,480 of not not upping that a dime. I don't think he's that good. 1421 01:10:08,480 --> 01:10:11,200 Like, for the more. Oh, we're getting desperate. 1422 01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,400 Oh, we didn't get this guy. Oh, my God, what are we going to 1423 01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,080 do? All right, we only want to go 5 1424 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:16,440 for 160. You know what? 1425 01:10:16,440 --> 01:10:20,120 Oh, God, what are we, 7 for 175 with 190? 1426 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:21,960 Here you go, Boris. We genuflect to you. 1427 01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,240 No way. Like Bellinger to me is a really 1428 01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:29,760 good player who fits the Yankees really well and seemingly had a 1429 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,880 really good time in the Bronx. And I hope he stays and you 1430 01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,800 know, with the opt outs and the creative language in terms of 1431 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:41,200 the maybe heftier bonus, hopefully it doesn't incentivize 1432 01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,840 him soon to sign a contract with the Yankees. 1433 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,760 And now from that point, you will merely be where you were a 1434 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,600 year ago, not necessarily taking a step forward. 1435 01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:51,840 And this is becoming one of the main issues with the Yankees. 1436 01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:53,920 Like, you get to the World Series with Soda now. 1437 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,120 They tried to, I mean, they offered him a ton of money. 1438 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:57,360 Wanted to be a Met. That's fine. 1439 01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,080 Took the most money. Mets made concessions. 1440 01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:00,680 Soda went there. I don't care. 1441 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,160 Move on. I wanted him to stay. 1442 01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:03,840 He's not here. I'm not going to cry about it. 1443 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,280 I stopped immediately, Right. He's a hell of a hitter. 1444 01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,200 He left the Yankees. I can process that. 1445 01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:12,160 I'm a big boy, but they didn't get better like they so they 1446 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:15,360 lost Soto and they brought in Belgium and I like to pivot 1447 01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:17,400 defensively and I thought Devin Williams will be better. 1448 01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:21,360 All the things we talked about, right, but the pivot did not add 1449 01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,840 to what they were the year before. 1450 01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:26,400 The pivot mere merely gave them a chance to get back to which 1451 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,760 they didn't because they didn't get to the World Series what 1452 01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:32,360 they were the year before. So now you look at that you say 1453 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:36,120 well OK, let's say if Bellinger goes to the Mets or let's say if 1454 01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:39,160 Bellinger now let's say I mean Toronto's not going to get 10 1455 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:42,120 years, but let's say if they come eight with two two change, 1456 01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:45,680 whatever my let's go. I mean, 40 * 8 is there's no way 1457 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:51,960 that one's getting $320 million, but 290 / 8 or 270 and he's 1458 01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:53,640 like, Yep, I'm taking going to Toronto. 1459 01:11:54,080 --> 01:12:00,080 Well, the Yankees will have another offseason where they 1460 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:04,800 lost somebody of significance and were unable or unwilling or 1461 01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:06,680 a combination of both to add to it. 1462 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:08,600 That's not how you win a World Series. 1463 01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:10,880 The way you win a World Series is you put your best foot 1464 01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,280 forward. You see what you have, you see 1465 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,640 where the deficiencies are and then you add to them. 1466 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,600 You don't you don't you don't lose and then Ed merely get to 1467 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,880 get back to where you were. And that's the problem with the 1468 01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:25,760 Yankees last couple of off seasons here. 1469 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,880 I know they've got some young guys that want to further 1470 01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:29,440 evaluate. We've gone over this a million, 1471 01:12:29,480 --> 01:12:32,560 a million a million a million ways sideways a million. 1472 01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,600 I do think the Yankees pitching is going to be phenomenal. 1473 01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,280 I do think right when it's all said and done and healthy call 1474 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,200 back etcetera rolled on, they slip. 1475 01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:41,560 There's going to be a be a beast. 1476 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,360 I think they might get Peralta. You know, even the kid Weathers 1477 01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,920 throws 97 is a lefty and he's thought that really good stuff. 1478 01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,360 81st percentile Major League Baseball fastball. 1479 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,600 So they got to get the bullpen straight. 1480 01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:54,800 They got to get another righty stick, which why I wanted them 1481 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,720 to get Bichette. The point is, though, if the 1482 01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:01,320 Mets get Bellinger, I will and it and it's they're not going to 1483 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,080 get him for 5/1/60. They're going to have to go more 1484 01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:07,120 terms, more AAV. And if they do that, Congrats to 1485 01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,040 the Mets. I'm not going to, hey, if you 1486 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:12,760 can lose Soto and still make the playoffs, right, you can't lose 1487 01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:14,320 Bellinger. And and now I'm not saying that 1488 01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,760 that's way to win a championship, but the the the 1489 01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:20,560 level of distraught that would permeate the Yankee fan base, 1490 01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,720 which is already in a very delicate spot emotionally. 1491 01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,280 You will not hear that from me. I'm not wasting any energy 1492 01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:32,640 getting on this YouTube show. BT Unleashed ranting and raving 1493 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:35,960 and crying and sounded like a, you know, like a distraught 1494 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,120 loser. Oh, it's over. 1495 01:13:38,440 --> 01:13:41,520 I mean, is Bellinger, when you really think, is he really that 1496 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:43,200 good? Now there's two different 1497 01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:45,080 things. Do you fit a team well, which he 1498 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:46,720 does. Is he a star? 1499 01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,520 He's not. I mean, there's 15/18/20 players 1500 01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:51,560 in baseball better than Bellinger. 1501 01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:55,320 Again, the fit is appealing, the versatility is appealing. 1502 01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,000 But I'm actually, I got the Yankees back on this and I have 1503 01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,960 not had the Yankees back on much last. 1504 01:13:59,960 --> 01:14:02,560 I've been all over Cashman. I've been all over on the way 1505 01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,440 they don't develop their position players. 1506 01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,920 I've been rightfully so. I believe my opinions on the 1507 01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,240 Yankees have been fully justified. 1508 01:14:10,440 --> 01:14:15,080 Nothing unfair, nothing over the top, real raw on point and 1509 01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:16,240 they've earned it. Now. 1510 01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,800 I've also given them certain respects that I think that 1511 01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:20,600 they've earned that others failed to give them. 1512 01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:22,600 I, I, I can't control what others say. 1513 01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:26,720 I'm telling you what I see and then I'm saying what I say and 1514 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:29,800 I'll be fine. Like, if he doesn't want to be 1515 01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,760 here, then just that's it. If if you're that much about, 1516 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:37,280 you know, Boris just holding you by the nose and pulling you 1517 01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:41,880 around like a six year old, you know, at some point you got to 1518 01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:47,080 realize you are in control. You're in control now. 1519 01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,880 I don't have an agent right now by design. 1520 01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,000 That was my decision couple of years ago. 1521 01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:56,520 I had one for about 15 years. Great relationship, really good 1522 01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:00,400 guy, really good at his job, was at my wedding right love for him 1523 01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:04,160 to this day, but the. Business was changing. 1524 01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,520 I made the. Decision for myself and now I 1525 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:11,800 represent myself right and there were points where, you know, 1526 01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:15,640 whether it was ATV show that I was doing or the discovery show 1527 01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:17,800 that I did for a year when I went out there and I shot man 1528 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,240 versus bear talking about like non radio stuff. 1529 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,520 But even the radio stuff where like if I didn't like the way it 1530 01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,240 was going, I would say get this done. 1531 01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,200 You know, stop. Don't even you know what? 1532 01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:29,040 Stop asking for that. They're getting pissed off. 1533 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,320 We push them as much as we can. I like it here. 1534 01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,680 I'm happy, I'm making good money, I'm successful. 1535 01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:35,480 I've been here for a while. Just get it done. 1536 01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,080 And and that's that's the power of the talent. 1537 01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:43,360 That's the power of the player. Like, I don't understand how 1538 01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:45,040 some of these guys lose sight of that. 1539 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:46,720 I don't, I I lose respect for it. 1540 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,600 And I don't mean about chasing money. 1541 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,280 Like, yeah, it's, it's it's a capitalistic society and they're 1542 01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:53,840 giving away a lot of money these days. 1543 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,880 I mean, you know, the money that that the Mets gave Michette, 1544 01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:59,440 it's a lot of money. I agree with it because I think 1545 01:15:59,440 --> 01:16:02,520 it fits where they are, that that's a good economic model for 1546 01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:04,760 an owner that has the affluence that Cohen has. 1547 01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,320 So he can, he can swallow that money. 1548 01:16:06,440 --> 01:16:07,760 It's fine. All right. 1549 01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,680 Less palatable for the Yankees. Number one, they don't want to 1550 01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:12,520 do it #2 they don't have as much money as Cohen. 1551 01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:15,240 So I can still make the case. You should, but I'm not going to 1552 01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:18,400 make that now to just further derail it and, and morphing and 1553 01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,760 nine other things like just do you want to be somewhere? 1554 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:25,600 Tell them, get it done. It's almost February. 1555 01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:29,560 And one thing that I don't understand, I know that you. 1556 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:30,920 Could do multiple things at once. 1557 01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:33,680 I get that, but like if I was a Major League Baseball player, I 1558 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:34,960 don't care how much money I have. 1559 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:36,200 What what, what's Bellinger have? 1560 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:37,960 I mean, I can look it up, but I'm not what do you think he's 1561 01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,920 got in the bank? I don't know, $110 million? 1562 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,440 I mean, not literally. He doesn't take out $100 at the 1563 01:16:43,480 --> 01:16:46,800 ATM and spits back one 1000 and 10 million. 1564 01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,880 You've got to tie it up and, and, and obviously investments 1565 01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:51,920 and stuff like that. Clearly you're not going to have 1566 01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:55,760 it in your checking account, but you are. 1567 01:16:55,760 --> 01:17:00,320 You are beholden to you and and I feel like too many of these, 1568 01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:03,480 particularly Boris clients lose sight of that. 1569 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:08,120 Like he lets them really where they let him, I should say, 1570 01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:11,720 really just dictate the tone of their entire winter where Hey, 1571 01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:13,040 you love playing with Aaron Judge. 1572 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:14,280 You know, the Yankees wanted you back. 1573 01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:15,720 This thing could have been signed a month ago. 1574 01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:19,080 I I could have enjoyed Christmas without without taking calls and 1575 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,800 getting on zooms and wondering, well, where am I going to live 1576 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:22,960 next year? Am I going to have to rent? 1577 01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:25,600 Am I going to move if I am going to be a Yankee long term? 1578 01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,040 Am I going to go to Alpine? Am I going to go to Connecticut 1579 01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:30,560 where Boone is? I I don't know, but I'd like to 1580 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,680 know and I do. I do think it's a little tricky, 1581 01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:39,560 no matter how much money you have to focus on getting ready 1582 01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:42,360 for a season when you don't know where you're going to be. 1583 01:17:43,440 --> 01:17:46,160 And to me, that would that is not something that I would want. 1584 01:17:46,480 --> 01:17:51,720 I even know how I get like I get a million times of a smaller 1585 01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:55,160 scale, but I know how I am like when I've got these little 1586 01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,600 windows of all right, I've got to go and coach or I've got to 1587 01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:58,720 go and do a St. John's game. 1588 01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:01,560 And I've obviously the radio show back in the day, this show 1589 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:05,280 now, which I'm 100% committed to obviously every day at 10 here 1590 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:09,560 and all these other things I might have to do, go to campus, 1591 01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,920 you know, film the TV show with Rick, whatever it might be, 1592 01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:14,200 right? And I'm like, all right, I got 1593 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,000 an hour and a half. I could get the work out it like 1594 01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,760 it's on your mind, like juggling things mentally. 1595 01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,680 Not that you can't do it. You've got to learn to do it as 1596 01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:26,480 an adult, as a dad, as a provider, as a professional, but 1597 01:18:26,480 --> 01:18:28,480 it's a whole hell of a lot easier when everything's lined 1598 01:18:28,480 --> 01:18:31,240 out and lined up and you know what your schedule is. 1599 01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:35,720 I would not want to be Bellinger right now as we approach the 1600 01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,960 basically January 20th, not knowing what the hell I'm doing. 1601 01:18:39,480 --> 01:18:43,040 I don't understand that. So I mean, I don't know how much 1602 01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,440 longer this drags on. I think he's going to be a 1603 01:18:45,440 --> 01:18:47,120 Yankee. He could be a met. 1604 01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:50,520 I don't think like the Giants who was one of those teams 1605 01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,800 jumping last second. I would not rule out Toronto. 1606 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:55,840 And by the way, if he goes to Toronto, he's going to be a 1607 01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:57,920 great fit. But enough is enough. 1608 01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:01,240 And it really just it takes away forget about what team to root 1609 01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,360 for it. It's really a disservice to the 1610 01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:05,600 game. It just drags on and on. 1611 01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,400 There's no resolution, whereas with and that's you got to have 1612 01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,160 that collectively bargained, obviously, but that's why you 1613 01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:14,680 get the juice with, you know, NBAI, where's Durant going? 1614 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:16,280 You know, it's an hour. It's it's a minute into free 1615 01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:17,120 agency. What do we got? 1616 01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:18,640 All right, where, where what's going on? 1617 01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:20,400 Where's LeBron going, where's Bosch going? 1618 01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,320 Where's Wade, Where's Amari going back in the day? 1619 01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:24,560 What's happening? It's fun. 1620 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:28,400 It like you, you get a chance to own the news cycle pertaining to 1621 01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,840 sports for a couple of days. Whereas with Major League 1622 01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,280 Baseball, it's like, you know, I get get around to it. 1623 01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:38,000 I don't mean us because we love it, but you know, I they they've 1624 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,560 got to really find a way to better position the sport 1625 01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,840 because the marketing aspect and and all the other things that I 1626 01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:47,000 think baseball lags behind woefully in something. 1627 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,120 Some things they can control, some they can't. 1628 01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:52,040 To be fair to Major League Baseball, like I think there's 1629 01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:55,840 some inherent disadvantages with baseball, but being able to cash 1630 01:19:55,840 --> 01:20:00,000 in and capitalize on, you know, instead of a two or three month, 1631 01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,720 you know, driven drab announcement here and there. 1632 01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,120 You know, you got to find a way to package this thing, you know, 1633 01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:09,040 where MLB Network, where you're tuning in for a week straight. 1634 01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,760 All right, breaking news. Boom, boom, boom. 1635 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:13,920 Domino's here. Energy, excitement. 1636 01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,320 So I don't, you know, I don't. I don't know why. 1637 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:20,360 I mean, I know why because it's not collectively bargained, but 1638 01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:23,080 I think it's an issue. Boy, Robert's got. 1639 01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,240 No, I feel bad, Rob. You don't have to throw in money 1640 01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:26,760 every time you want to ask a question here. 1641 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:29,600 I appreciate it. But yeah, come on, man. 1642 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:30,920 You're a fan of the Show. I get it, dude. 1643 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:32,600 I'm not looking for that like like that. 1644 01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:36,120 I remember the Daily News on Sunday had MLB stats on 1645 01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:37,560 everybody's numbers. Oh, yeah. 1646 01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,600 I missed the home runs average ribbies. 1647 01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:41,680 Man, I missed those days. Thank you very much, Robert. 1648 01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,080 Appreciate it. I remember right. 1649 01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:47,520 I would wake up. God, I was inhaling newspapers 1650 01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,080 from the time I was 6. Remember, my dad would come 1651 01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:51,960 home, would have the post would have the news. 1652 01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:57,120 But Sundays in particular to to Robert's text there, I would get 1653 01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:58,680 the Daily News. I don't know if the post did 1654 01:20:58,680 --> 01:20:59,920 this, but I know the news definitely did. 1655 01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:02,160 And I would get my my little pen maybe. 1656 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:06,280 No, it was a pen and I would go through every single batting 1657 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:08,480 average right. And I remember getting I mean, 1658 01:21:08,480 --> 01:21:12,360 obviously you see like Winfield or Mattingly hitting 343 or 1659 01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:14,920 Hernandez had some good seasons for the mess. 1660 01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:16,480 And that's that's kind of what I'm talking about. 1661 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:19,680 And like even like Nettles early, early home run, home run 1662 01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:21,280 leaders. I don't really remember Reggie 1663 01:21:21,480 --> 01:21:26,000 watching Reggie quite as much. And anyway, I would just go 1664 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,080 through it and I remember I would get so excited. 1665 01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:31,040 You'd see like you go to the bottom would be like Alvaro 1666 01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:34,920 Espinoza hitting two O 9 or Butch Winegar, the an old 1667 01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:37,960 catcher in like 213 and I would just get excited. 1668 01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:39,520 Wayne Tollison. I'm just throwing out these 1669 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:40,560 names. I don't know how where I'm 1670 01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:44,200 pulling them from, but Wayne Tollison like or Dale Barra, he 1671 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,920 just signed he just circle. I'm like, yeah, as my Yankee. 1672 01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:50,640 All right, yeah, Yankee. I in my mind, I don't think I 1673 01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:54,240 knew that they listed everybody and if you had the minimum 1674 01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:57,040 amount of it bats in my mind, I'm like, oh, wow, All right, It 1675 01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:00,520 might be 119th, but hey, he's on the he's on the leaderboard. 1676 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:05,400 We got a good player you. Process things still differently 1677 01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:06,440 there all. Right. 1678 01:22:06,440 --> 01:22:12,160 So we talked about the fandom irrelevance versus that, that 1679 01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:13,320 soul. Crushing. 1680 01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:16,960 Loss talked about whether or not you can be truly an all time 1681 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:18,880 great without a ring, which I believe that you can. 1682 01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:22,760 I think you've got to be very, very special, especially as a 1683 01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,320 quarterback or as an NBA player. But I think that you can. 1684 01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:28,600 I think many of you disagree with that, but I think that you 1685 01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,520 can let me give you a little thought here on the national 1686 01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:36,360 championship tonight. You know, some jet fans are 1687 01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:38,080 like, oh, we got to take a flyer on Carson Beck. 1688 01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:41,920 What I mean, so I mean, I, I am looking forward to watching him 1689 01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,120 play against an amazing Indiana defense. 1690 01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:46,560 Not that I'm not that you're taking Carson back to or or with 1691 01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:48,800 the Colts pick, but I don't know, maybe later round, 1692 01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:50,240 whatever. If he impresses, I think 1693 01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:53,400 Indiana's going to stop him to the point where I I was looking 1694 01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,080 at some of these other numbers, right. 1695 01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:59,320 So right now the line well, the line opened up at 7 1/2, right. 1696 01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:02,040 You can tell a lot how it's bet and not always, but where the 1697 01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,760 sharp money is going. Obviously the games today, so 1698 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:06,760 that late money is reflected in short money. 1699 01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:10,320 Maybe get a little late surge late, late, late sharp, sharp, 1700 01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,520 sharp money. But this is pretty much the line 1701 01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:16,360 opened up at 7 1/2 got bet up immediately to 8 1/2 favoring 1702 01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:18,800 Indiana right. So all the money's pointed on 1703 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,280 the Hoosiers as it should. By the way, they are just so 1704 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,520 much better than Miami. Now, the game obviously is not a 1705 01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:27,680 true neutral site because it's down in at the Hard Rock Stadium 1706 01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,720 in Miami. So Miami's going to have good 1707 01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:31,240 representation. Those Hoosiers are going to 1708 01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:32,600 travel, though. They'll get their hands on a lot 1709 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:34,800 of tickets. I don't think it'll be 8020, 1710 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:41,160 maybe 60-40, maybe 6535, but that Hoosier contingent will be 1711 01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:43,840 off the charts phenomenal because they've been that way 1712 01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:45,960 all along and you're not going to stop now with the 1713 01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:47,520 championship. It's amazing that they're going 1714 01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:49,560 to win the championship. I don't think there's any doubt 1715 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,480 that they win. I don't think there's any doubt 1716 01:23:51,480 --> 01:23:54,400 that they cover the Hoosier. You listen, you can talk about 1717 01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,880 Fernando Mendoza all you want and he's been, he's got 41 1718 01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,560 touchdown 6 picks, I mean, 41 and six. 1719 01:23:59,960 --> 01:24:02,960 And if you've seen him, I know I'm sure some of you are just 1720 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,720 starting to see him. And while maybe you learned 1721 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,040 about Mendoza a little bit earlier than the rest of the 1722 01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:13,080 Hoosiers team understand this, their defense is great and 1723 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:17,200 they're running game is great. Like this is not just a guy 1724 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,960 who's on the center. I know some of you know this, 1725 01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,480 but if you don't, there's not some, you know, superstar 1726 01:24:22,480 --> 01:24:26,200 quarterback, which he is, but I mean, with nothing around them 1727 01:24:26,480 --> 01:24:28,360 and he's going to have to win a shootout. 1728 01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:30,160 I don't even think Miami scores a ton of points tonight. 1729 01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,720 I think the I think the Hoosiers defense is that good to the 1730 01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:35,800 point where I was looking at some of these exotic numbers 1731 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:41,000 like how about this? So -23 1/2. 1732 01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:45,240 If you really think that Indiana can score 50 in the 1733 01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:50,520 neighborhood, like, can they win 43 to 20 with that? 1734 01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:51,800 No, that that wouldn't even do it. 1735 01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,240 Couldn't they win 44 to 20? Yeah. 1736 01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:56,840 And there's a. Number if you want to. 1737 01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:59,120 Jack that now this is the alternate lines which when it 1738 01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:02,120 works all when you hit one of these, it is my I used to take 1739 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:05,560 this a lot against The Jets when The Jets were. 1740 01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:07,360 I was going to say when The Jets were asked. 1741 01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:09,760 It's more like when The Jets were. 1742 01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:10,800 Good, you would say. They're always. 1743 01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:14,720 Asked, but there were times like at the end of Rex where you just 1744 01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,160 knew it was over and then obviously prolonged stretch of 1745 01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:19,800 being over where I'm like, all right, they're playing the 1746 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,840 Patriots, they're up in Foxborough, they're 8 1/2 point 1747 01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:24,640 dogs. Not I'm going to Jack it up to, 1748 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:28,840 I don't know, spread -16 get some plus 400 value going, throw 1749 01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,360 down AC note, walk away, bang. You knew they were getting 1750 01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:35,040 crushed like the alternate line. And you got to be selective with 1751 01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:36,960 it. You got to be a little lucky, 1752 01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:40,640 but you got to know your stuff. And I really think Indiana's 1753 01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,000 going to smoke them tonight. I think they're going to crush 1754 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:45,640 him. So how's this sound -23 1/2, you 1755 01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:50,720 lay almost 24 + 480 and you throw that 100, you win almost 5 1756 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:54,440 if they win by 23, by if they win by 23 1/2 points or more. 1757 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:56,280 This one I don't know if I love as much. 1758 01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:58,280 I did see it was pretty. I saw it I think on Twitter this 1759 01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,800 morning. There's a 51 point over 1760 01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:05,560 pertaining to the team total for Indiana at 20 to 1. 1761 01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:09,480 I mean, is it inconceivable they scored fifty plus points? 1762 01:26:09,480 --> 01:26:11,880 It's not it's it's really really not. 1763 01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:16,680 So I am going to sit back and and watch Mendoza, who's 1764 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:20,880 Hoosiers team this year has won by an average a margin of 31 1/2 1765 01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:22,520 points. Like they're not just winning. 1766 01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:24,440 They were obliterating everybody. 1767 01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:28,480 And it's not just Mendoza. I think their defense is right. 1768 01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:31,480 Ohio State's defense that like they're right there top 20, top 1769 01:26:31,480 --> 01:26:35,360 15 in terms of, you know, I don't know, some even even 1770 01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:38,160 deeper level analytics that I don't even care to reference 1771 01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,120 right now. And I love my numbers. 1772 01:26:40,480 --> 01:26:42,200 Just trust me. I mean, I'm not I'm not telling 1773 01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:45,200 you to throw money on the game, but if you're going to and 1774 01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:47,640 you're like, what do you think? I think Indiana's going to smoke 1775 01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:48,800 them. I think they'll be the national 1776 01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,760 champions again, if you want to sprinkle a little something just 1777 01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:55,160 to get those juices going, maybe some exotic number the the team 1778 01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:58,800 total or, or go over 23 1/2. I don't know if I'd advise that, 1779 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,120 but if you're up and you had a good weekend with the NFL and 1780 01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:03,200 you want to let it ride and try to make some more, go for it. 1781 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:05,400 I feel really good about the 8 1/2. 1782 01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,360 Matter of fact, I think it I think it's going to go up. 1783 01:27:07,440 --> 01:27:09,200 I don't think it's going to go off at 8 1/2. 1784 01:27:09,480 --> 01:27:12,280 I think it would go up to 9 more than it would go down to 8. 1785 01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:13,720 I, I don't really see that happening. 1786 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,000 So hopefully we get a good game tonight. 1787 01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,160 I'm not even sure that we will. I really don't. 1788 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:21,920 And then the. College football season's over. 1789 01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:25,600 And now, you know, obviously we're getting toward the the 1790 01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:30,000 conference championship Sunday with some good storylines, which 1791 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,920 I'll obviously obviously probe into during the week to lead up 1792 01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:35,320 to. But we got a lot to react to 1793 01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:36,960 today. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it, 1794 01:27:37,480 --> 01:27:40,280 obviously on Twitter, on Instagram, got a like got to 1795 01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:42,640 subscribe this guy, get the hypes going, get that all out 1796 01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:44,000 there. Spread the word to you buddies, 1797 01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,440 not just New York stuff, by the way, a lot of New York content. 1798 01:27:46,440 --> 01:27:49,320 But as you can tell, I'm expanding on a little bit more 1799 01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:51,760 and more and more extending those parameters of what we 1800 01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:53,800 talked about. I want to see what the Knicks 1801 01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,480 have today. Knicks are playing at 5 or 6, by 1802 01:27:56,520 --> 01:28:00,240 the way. I was at, I don't know if it was 1803 01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,400 the first one. I don't know that it was. 1804 01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:05,480 I was actually at the Trent Tucker game I was at. 1805 01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:09,080 I've been to a couple of MLK days, Martin Luther King Day 1806 01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:11,240 games because we always have off obviously. 1807 01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:17,000 And I remember a joke the I had when I was at the Tucker game, I 1808 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:18,400 actually had a better seat than Spike. 1809 01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:21,520 I don't know how my dad got the tickets right, but Spike had not 1810 01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:24,760 yet moved up the courtside. I was actually at the game with 1811 01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:27,480 when Trent Tucker flung it in with 110th of a second left 1812 01:28:27,480 --> 01:28:29,520 there. I can still see Mark Jackson 1813 01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:32,440 Ewing's arms up there. Oh, my good God, Absolutely 1814 01:28:32,440 --> 01:28:34,400 awesome. So I, I love basketball today. 1815 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:36,400 It's fun. You know, you get some of this. 1816 01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:39,080 It's really good for the league. I think the league's done a good 1817 01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:41,680 job of branding Martin Luther King Day. 1818 01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:44,000 They've done this what they've done it with Christmas, although 1819 01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:45,640 now the NFL is trying to cut into that. 1820 01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:47,600 They've done it with MLK Day, which is great. 1821 01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:49,600 It's it's a nice showcase for the sport. 1822 01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:52,440 But man, these Knicks, I mean, I know they're still banged up. 1823 01:28:52,480 --> 01:28:55,440 You need Jalen Brunson back, but I don't know what the hell 1824 01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:58,880 Mitchell Mitchell Robinson's post and stuff on Instagram last 1825 01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:01,480 night, basically saying goodbye. I'm I'm doing searches. 1826 01:29:01,480 --> 01:29:02,720 Did he get dealt? Like what the hell? 1827 01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:05,520 The Knicks just look broken. So they got to start and start 1828 01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:07,760 to get they they need to start getting it together. 1829 01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,840 And even if they play great today, whatever, I just I'm out 1830 01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:12,240 on the Knicks. I just don't think that they 1831 01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:13,520 have it. They don't have enough dogs. 1832 01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:17,280 They got one, they got one physical dog in terms of heart 1833 01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:20,160 every, you know, Brunson's a scoring dog and all that stuff. 1834 01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:22,840 But they got too many softies on the team and that situation the 1835 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,960 other night I talked about this. I'm not doing it again, but very 1836 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:27,600 briefly. That situation with Draymond 1837 01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,360 Green and Karl Anthony Towns when nobody came through his 1838 01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:33,000 defense and Mike Brown was hugging Draymond. 1839 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:34,880 I know it was your boy. I respect that. 1840 01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:36,920 Do it in the tunnel. Bad look for the matching that 1841 01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:40,320 happened with Pat Riley or Van Gundy or even Tom Thibodeau. 1842 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:44,000 Imagine if Yokum Noah was still playing or Derrick Rose was 1843 01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:45,360 still playing on a different team. 1844 01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:50,360 Could you imagine Tom Thibodeau after one of his store players 1845 01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:52,760 got into a scrap, almost a scrap, at least, you know, 1846 01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,640 talking smack to each other and right after the game, visible 1847 01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,480 for everybody to see, You're hugging, you're smiling, you 1848 01:29:58,480 --> 01:29:59,560 laugh. It's a bad look. 1849 01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:03,960 And it shows me that, like the Knicks don't, they just don't 1850 01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:06,640 have it. And when you lose 8 of 10 games, 1851 01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,880 you've got some real issues defensively and other basketball 1852 01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:14,560 issues, not to mention the lack of toughness at inside the MLBI. 1853 01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:18,200 Think, I think this commentary is this is really is 1854 01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:20,000 disrespectful to Miami's defense. 1855 01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,920 There's zero percent chance Indiana scores 50. 1856 01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:25,160 They've got two first round picks on defense. 1857 01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:29,280 Understood, understood. Now you can say that there's 1858 01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:31,200 very little chance that they score 50. 1859 01:30:31,480 --> 01:30:34,160 You can't say that there's no chance because that implies that 1860 01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:37,800 it's absolutely impossible. Now tomorrow, I appreciate that. 1861 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:39,360 Thank you very much. Thank you for that. 1862 01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,320 But when we fire this up tomorrow with 10:00 in the 1863 01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:46,400 morning and my buddy at inside the MLB wants to hit me back and 1864 01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:51,440 Indiana wins 20 to 17, which I'd be stunned that or they win or 1865 01:30:51,440 --> 01:30:55,200 even if they lose a low scoring battle, which I would be stunned 1866 01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:57,640 that well then I'll I'll man up. But I'll say yeah, my bad. 1867 01:30:57,640 --> 01:30:59,080 I was wrong. I was wrong. 1868 01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,480 I think my read on Miami is good and I think my read on my on 1869 01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:05,320 Indiana is spot on. I mean, you got the best 1870 01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:07,280 quarterback, you got the better defense, you got the better 1871 01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:08,760 running attack, you got the better coach. 1872 01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:10,680 I mean, who you betting with? Who you going with tonight? 1873 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:13,640 I'll take Indiana. I do. 1874 01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:16,160 Admit that that's you know. That's why I said, you know, 1875 01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:20,960 plus 480 massive spread or 20 to 1 if they score over 50 points. 1876 01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,560 I'm not saying that I think they can necessarily score over 50, 1877 01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:25,520 but to say that that's disrespectful. 1878 01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:26,880 I don't think that that's disrespectful. 1879 01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:28,960 I really know. I appreciate that. 1880 01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:30,040 All right. Hey, Jared. 1881 01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:31,480 What? Is Jared still awake? 1882 01:31:31,480 --> 01:31:33,880 Is Jared still here?

It's going to get out there and 1928 01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:30,840 we're just going to grow this more and more and more. 1929 01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:32,560 So great job, buddy. I appreciate it, Jared. 1930 01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:35,080 Good job, appreciate it. You got it, dude. 1931 01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:37,080 You got. Hey, before I bounce, I want to 1932 01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,640 give a shout out. Awesome, awesome night, 1933 01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:42,960 Borrelli. So I was in Long Beach, Long 1934 01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:45,000 Beach. It was up to no good even 1935 01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:46,840 Hollywood trying to get no that not that Long Beach. 1936 01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:50,680 Long Beach near basically out toward Long Island. 1937 01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:54,160 My buddy Mike Quinn, massive St. John's fan, massive St. 1938 01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:57,120 John's bar. So I was hanging out Borelli's 1939 01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:00,680 when I've been there before. I had a a watch party appearance 1940 01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:03,360 and it was great bar was absolutely packed. 1941 01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:05,840 The the enthusiasm was through the charts. 1942 01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:10,760 Obviously both football and the Johnnies games were going on and 1943 01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:13,320 met a big Saint John's win by the way. 1944 01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:14,680 That was it. That was a big win. 1945 01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:16,720 That was really the playing Seton Hall tomorrow who lost to 1946 01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:18,600 Butler at home. I was very surprised by that. 1947 01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:21,880 But St. John's is on a nice run and I'll 1948 01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:23,800 give you a minute or so here. I know you got a lot of you guys 1949 01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:25,480 that follow me love St. John's obviously. 1950 01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:29,240 And you know St. John's was at a point after that 1951 01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:33,960 Providence loss 1/2 I guess that was 2 Saturdays ago. 1952 01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:35,840 Couple of weeks ago I did the game with Macon. 1953 01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:39,240 They lost and they they jumped. Providence is not even good and 1954 01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:40,000 they jumped out. St. 1955 01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:44,280 John's was up 13 zip and then they lost the game and there was 1956 01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:46,920 and there was it was building up a little bit like because St. 1957 01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:50,760 John's had some high profile games, Kentucky, Iowa State, 1958 01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:52,560 Auburn. Auburn was a bad loss. 1959 01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:55,320 And they scheduled differently this year by design because they 1960 01:34:55,320 --> 01:34:57,720 got a lot of talent and they want to get the metrics set up 1961 01:34:57,720 --> 01:34:59,880 so that if they lose a couple of games is still in a good spot 1962 01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:02,240 and challenge themselves. They didn't win any of those 1963 01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:03,960 games, right? They beat Baylor, but Baylor's 1964 01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:07,840 not like the other teams. So there was a little, I felt 1965 01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:09,160 like some of the air was out of the St. 1966 01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:11,520 John's balloon early. And I understood it like they 1967 01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:15,960 didn't look to me to be the same team or the same ceiling as the 1968 01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:17,800 year before when they won 31 times, right? 1969 01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:21,160 And won the regular season Big East championship led by Zubi 1970 01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:24,080 and RJ Lewis. And funny thing happened after 1971 01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:28,560 that Providence game, Rick Pitino figured things out pretty 1972 01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:31,880 quick because since that game, and that was that was really, 1973 01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:34,560 that was an inexcusable loss, right? 1974 01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:38,240 But the way they bounce back, they had back-to-back, 1975 01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:44,400 back-to-back quad one Rd. wins. Nice. 1976 01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:46,120 That'll get the numbers more favorably right. 1977 01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:50,120 And then they beat Marquette by like 25 points. 1978 01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:52,320 They smacked him at home. Then that's why Villanova was 1979 01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,600 such a big game because Villanova's numbers were pretty 1980 01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:57,000 good as well. Their back courts really good. 1981 01:35:57,320 --> 01:36:00,640 It was it was in Philly where the Sixers play, not on campus. 1982 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:03,240 20,000 people. One of the bigger NBA venues out 1983 01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:05,800 there. Obviously Willard is a good 1984 01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:08,120 coach, very good. We saw him at Seton Hall, saw 1985 01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:10,600 him at Maryland. Willard was with Pitino for a 1986 01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:13,000 long time. So he had that and St. 1987 01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:16,000 John's just, I mean, they looked really, really good. 1988 01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:18,360 So that's another quad one Rd. win. 1989 01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:20,640 And as long as you don't stumble against Seton Hall is going to 1990 01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:21,920 be tough. It's going to be a street fight. 1991 01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:24,480 St. John's suddenly is they're like, 1992 01:36:24,480 --> 01:36:27,520 I don't know what are they 13 or 15 in the Ken Palm? 1993 01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:31,280 And they're very, very, very high in the net rating, like 21 1994 01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:34,000 or 22. So the numbers have have stable. 1995 01:36:34,120 --> 01:36:37,160 I think the perception of St. John's has stabilized and it's 1996 01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:41,480 really happened as Rick went to a bigger, bigger, bigger lineup 1997 01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:44,080 with Dylan Mitchell now getting more run, which I love because 1998 01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:46,840 he's a great defender. He makes the right decisions and 1999 01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:49,480 they're still evolving a bit. But I thought Ian Jackson was 2000 01:36:49,480 --> 01:36:53,440 really good, really good. Hopkins was really good. 2001 01:36:53,440 --> 01:36:55,240 Who's been a little up and down for me. 2002 01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,480 Even Sadden had some big shots. He struggled here. 2003 01:36:58,080 --> 01:36:59,920 Zoobies, Zoobies. It's a good win for Saint John. 2004 01:36:59,920 --> 01:37:02,760 So looking forward to to the garden tomorrow night against 2005 01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:05,200 Seton Hall. And before you know it, guys 2006 01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:07,920 like as we look at this with the national championship tonight 2007 01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:11,000 again, I'll take the Hoosiers and I'll lay the 8 1/2 with 0 2008 01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,960 hesitation.

In terms of college, we're down 2010 01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:18,720 to four teams in the NC in the in the NFL. 2011 01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:21,680 And then before you know, it's February and now you know the 2012 01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:24,720 Big East and the and before you know it's March Madness, spring 2013 01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:27,520 training and we'll see exactly what the Yanks of the Mets were 2014 01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:29,720 taken down to Tampa and Port Saint Lucie. 2015 01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:33,720 So then it's NFL draft and then then this channel, I think just 2016 01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:36,120 hits a level that I fully expected to hit. 2017 01:37:36,440 --> 01:37:38,560 It's just there's some really good things coming. 2018 01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:41,080 And I appreciate you guys hopping in on holiday. 2019 01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:44,000 Appreciate you guys watching.
