What's happening to everybody? Unleash big day.
Oh my God, this is a big day. It's not officially done yet, I
know, but the Giants have finally stepped up to the plate
and the Giants have finally remembered that they are the New
York Giants. I know that the details getting
worked out, it's there's going to be no hang ups.
I can't imagine that that would happen.
And if it did, wow, that's an entirely different podcast.
But first of all, really, really kudos to the Giants organization
for digging in deep and and overpowering the Titans and the
Falcons and making John Horbaugh know that this is mission #1 and
whatever it's going to take to get you in terms of contract
salary and and staff budget and power.
The Giants came correct. The Giants remember that they
were the Giants. Guys, think about this like
you've heard me say several times and it's it's applicable.
It's not me even taking a shot at the Giants, But how many
times have you heard me say that the Giants over the last decade
or so have in essence morphed in to the New York Jets.
Will The Jets, wouldn't they? They would never be able to pull
this off because The Jets don't have that that direction.
They don't have that that, that, that gravitas, that cache.
The Giants just looked in the mirror and said, you know what,
I'm tired of this. Whatever is going on, whatever
this has become, it is go time. And we're going after John
Harbaugh and we're doing everything that will allow us to
jump on him immediately. Which is why when they fired
Dabel, they set themselves up. They checked all the boxes, all
the interviews that they had to do, all the things that they had
to do. The Giants really, I'm really
impressed here, guys. The Giants presented themselves
in an absolute first rate way. They were aggressive, they were
decisive, they were opportunistic.
They were buttoned up. And the best part about this
really is that it truly was an organizational team effort.
Like, all right, obviously John Marra is going to be involved
and and Mr. Tisch is going to be involved.
And Chris Marra was very involved going down to Baltimore
Sunday and having obviously a meal at John Harbaugh's house
and you got the private jets. But think about how many people
wait in here and made sure that this thing got pushed across the
goal line. Eli checked in, Tom Coughlin
checked in. Just A-Z Buttoned up, efficient,
effective, powerful, aggressive, fantastic job by the New York
Giants really is. And think about this, right, the
stated mission in this particular coaching cycle, which
really, I don't even know if they thought this with Tom
Coughlin. Now that was different because
you know, he had history, certainly a Boston College,
certainly history, very good history with the Jacksonville
Jaguars, with some good teams, Mark Brunel, But all the other
coaches that the Giants have pivoted to over the years, it
was like, all right, let's take a flyer on this guy.
Like there was no 1U push where the team just came together and
everybody, you know, immediately hit top speed.
This was basically an awakening within the New York Giants
universe and their stated mission.
Guys, really from the get go, there were three things that the
Giants said they were going to have #1 and we've heard this
first one quite a bit from a lot of teams, right?
We need a leader of men, check. You have, but you obviously got
that with John Horrible, right? Number 2, they needed to get
somebody that in their minds they thought was highly capable
and really had already done it of of capturing the locker room
and rallying the players. Check you got that for sure.
And then the other one was to restore accountability amongst
the players and the staff. Basic, basically one proven
force that would galvanized an entire moribund franchise with
one, you know, with one, even though it's not official, but we
know it's going to be with one official announcement.
And then one what's going to be an amazing press press
conference there for the New York Giants when they roll out
John Harbaugh. So Giant fans, you got to be
absolutely pumped up. I mean, yeah, Jet fans just
sitting there saying, all right, wow.
So the Giants got him, they got their quarterback and The Jets
going to roll it back with Aaron Glenn.
This is obviously not a jet day, at least at the start of the
show. I will react a little bit on the
pod on the decision by Dante Moore coming out and saying he's
going back to Oregon. I got a little something on the
Knicks as well, but primarily a New York Giant Big Blue back in
the house and I just got to be pumped up.
I mean, there's just certain days where we can sit here and
break things down and you know, obviously we've done that quite
a bit like, you know, what's Bellinger really worth and you
know, Mendoza more should the like those are all like
evaluations, players or contracts.
This is more of a just a visceral reaction like bang,
we're out of the we are out of the doldrums.
We are no longer handcuffed and shackled by that, that weight
that has sunk the New York Giants down to the bottom of the
football ocean like what they've morphed into.
They were. They're not recognizable.
They're they're really not. And, you know, the Giants had
always had this distinct separation from The Jets and
this distinct separation from the New York Mets.
It was always Yankees number one giants #2 and there was some
years, obviously, where the Giants were #1 and the Yankees
were #2 in the pantheon of New York sports.
And I don't just mean winning, but I, you know, the, the, just
the way the product was perceived, you know, the PR,
just the way the building was run, the people making
decisions. I'm, I'm really, really happy.
I'm happy for John Mayra. I'm truly happy for John.
This is, this is a great day. Now, I, I will say this, I will
say this, there are a few things that I I I do think that the
giant fan is glossing over just a little bit, which I
understand, like there's no need to get wrapped up in this today.
But for the sake of being fair and balanced and and viewing
this through the prism of everything I do, I got at least
hit you with this year. And again, I'm I'm not trying to
like bury the lead. I love to hire.
I don't know that he's discernibly better than Mike
McCarthy or Mike Tomlin. It and that right now that
doesn't even matter. That was the guy that they
wanted. They identified him from day one
and it was the full court press 94 feet or an all out blitz with
Taylor and everybody else coming and they got to the quarterback
and they got their guy. So after you make that
statement, there's really nothing else to dissect in terms
of the the gravity of the moment.
This is this is what I believe will be a transformative moment
in history for the New York Giants.
However, this is the part you might not love.
Now, what bothers you the outside of like there's the
macro and then and then there's a little bit of the micro and
the minutiae from this past Giant season.
So the macro issues with the Giants the last decade is that
they've lacked stability, which is something that they always
had, which is why they were up there with the Yankees in terms
of that, that, you know, that cachet, right?
Got away from it and it happens to the best franchises.
I mean it. Listen, the Yankees, when Mantle
retired, were an absolute disaster in the 60s.
And then they eventually regenerated in the, you know,
76. They got back to the World
Series, they got swept by the Big Red Machine.
And then they went back-to-back. And then they've got back in 81.
And then there was some lean years and then the Yankees
eventually found their way. Like, great people, smart
people, great organization organizations usually find their
way. Like, there's a reason why the
Giants were able to execute a trade for Eli Manning.
And all those years later, Eli gives you 2 Super Bowl
championships, two MVPS in the Super Bowl, and he adds to the
stack of Lombardi's in the Giants building.
And there's also a reason why, conversely, you know, The Jets
wrap the quarterback, he drowns, he's dead, he's out.
You know, all right, let's try the next guy.
What's the next plan? Who's the next coach?
Fire this guy. What's a new philosophy?
And the Giants really had gone in that not so much the
quarterback spot, even though they didn't really find anybody
after Eli, but it was more about the coaches and just the overall
organizational messaging and instability.
Like to me, the snapshot of Tom Coughlin walking off that stage
and past ownership. I mean, you want to talk about
an icy, you know, an icy image that was captured forever and,
and they're just beginning now to bust out of that to get some
separation from that. So again, it's an amazing thing
This so that that's, that's more of the macro stuff where the
Giants have been. We all know that because we, we,
we, we've been along for the ride here and it's been, it's
been a very unpleasant one, right?
So #2 though now let's get into the actual coach that you hired.
I this is again, not the the part you're not going to love
this, but that's fine. The man that you bring in to be
the head coach of the Giants, while you did everything right
to get him and he's a massive upgrade and he's a high level
coach. He's not Bill Parcells, OK, And
he's not Pat Riley coming here in the early 90s to take the
Knicks to the next level, even though they never won the
championship, they got to the Finals and of course they lost
in 94 to the Rockets and Hakeem Olajuwon.
He's not Pat Riley and what was the And that's OK.
You don't necessarily have to be Pat Riley to win a championship
because I don't think that John Harbaugh's or or Lombardi or
Parcells or Belichick because he's already won one who's
already proved that he could check that box.
So this is not shade towards horribaugh.
This is contextualizing everything and not being lazy
and throwing everything in a blender and hitting that button
and me serving up a drink to let you know exactly what you got.
And 90 plus percent of it is amazing.
There's no doubt, as I've already article here.
And even leading up to what I thought the Giants would get
him, I was very confident in that.
You know, I did draw parallels to other coaches that I thought
he was. Yeah, he was being positioned, I
thought improperly as being much better than much more
accomplished then like Mike McCarthy.
And I'm not even going to go down that road again.
But I I do think there was a a little bit of a heightened
presentation for who he is. All right now.
That's fine, you thought. The micro stuff of this past
season, what bothered you the most about the New York Football
Giants, right? Aside from the fact that maybe
they won a game or two that you didn't want them to win.
But the real pressing issue with the Giants was that too often
they played really good football for three plus quarters.
Then you got into the fourth quarter and inexplicably the
wheels came off and massive leads were flushed down the
chute. And the Giants very easily, very
easily could have won at least four more games.
The Bears, the Broncos, maybe the Commanders early if Russell
Wilson wasn't the quarterback. Either way, right?
The the one thing that really handcuffed the Giants here is
that the man that they're bringing in has had the same
issues in his previous place of employment and that is flushing
big leads down the chute. I'm going to detail that in a
minute. Here we go.
By the way, my son is home from school today.
So you noticed a smooth operation.
He's we got the producer back. Everybody's doing a good job.
So what do we got this. I will read a bunch of the, the,
the the messages here obviously bounce around.
Have a great time. Robert Huertas, Huertas Huertas
dash S5C All right, BT shows great.
As a Jets fan, this about The Jets.
I'm not going to give this a ton of devotion until I get to it
later, but I want to give Robert a shout out.
I appreciate the Super chat. As a Jets fan, I know Mendoza is
not coming here. Moore stayed in school.
What other quarterback that's highly rated is coming out?
All right, Robert, appreciate that.
I'm going to actually put that to the side.
I have actually written down your name so you will be able to
get plugged further. When I get to The Jets stuff, I
want to stay on point on content.
If you got a message and it pertains to the Giants, get them
in now. If you want it read right, and
then obviously I'll get back to that, Robert, I promise.
So now, all right, The issue with the Giants was all these
leads dissipating like almost beyond comprehension, like
defying football logic. The most improbable collapses
right? Yet they happened week after
week after week, and it was stunning to watch.
Well, let me hit you with a statistic.
You know, I like my numbers. Let me give you a statistic
that's I don't think you're really going to like right now,
although for today you'll probably ignore this and that's
OK. Well, since 2021, the Ravens
have lost 12 games while leading by 7 or more points in the
fourth quarter, which by the way, this is a very ignominious
stat. Like that word is the most in
the NFL in a five year span in the history of the league.
NF LS been around a long time, not as long as basic League
Baseball, but there's been a lot of football played right since
2021. And horrible was the coach with
the Ravens. And I'm not saying it's all his
fault. I'm just giving you everything
here. The Ravens lost 12 times while
leading by 7 or more points in the fourth quarter, most in NFL
history in a five year span. By the way, at inside the MLBI.
See the shout out there. Thank you very much, buddy.
I see you. Maybe I'm probably going to get
some Tucker news today as well, my good God, and hopefully some
Bellinger stuff, maybe a little Peralta stuff.
I mean the hot stoves cooking up.
We thought we'd have the Harbaugh news resolved.
This week is a big, big week. It is awesome to be back on BT
Unleashed every day, 10:00 right here at BT Unleashed YouTube
like subscribe, hype it up, if you know what that is.
I said there was like 15,000 high points.
I don't even know if that's good.
I don't really know what that is, but it can't be bad.
And I did see that on one of the videos yesterday for the
channel. So that's good.
All right, now think about this, right?
The last Super Bowl win was obviously in 2012 for Jim
Harbaugh, for John Harbaugh. Now he's got one, all right?
So it's not like there's zero. So you're not wondering, is he
that next level guy? Can he cross the threshold?
We know he's going to be this and that and this and that, but
can he win the Super Bowl? He's already he's already
answered that and he's already exercised those demons very
early. Now, if I want to be fair, kind
of like Tomlin, very similar parallels here.
Did he really build that team? You know, he took over what O 8
right? And you know, he inherited great
defense and it was a great culture and Ozzy Nuzum was
phenomenal and ownership was stable and that made John
horrible. Lucky man.
Now a lesser coach and that's not a knock on him that's just
the reality of what he inherited right whereas the the others
have inherited good stuff and and they basically shit the bed
so I mean, you know it it doesn't matter just because you
get something good that you're going to be able to push this
thing forward. He did massive credit Super Bowl
champion, right However, since the early success like like like
Tomlin with the Steelers, he's only had one AFC championship
appearance. Now you tell me, all right,
well, what's the circumstances behind that?
I know that every season's different, every opponents
different. Couple of bad calls along the
way. You know, a botched, a bad
again, a bad call, a defensive breakdown, somebody drops a bit,
Mark Andrews drops a pass. I know that there's stuff there,
right? But you are what your record
says that you are, all right? Parcells always said that, and I
believe in that. So in since the Championship,
he's only had one AFC Championship appearance, but
that's a long time to go. Now, if you didn't have a
quarterback and he just had a a moribund team and a a middling
roster, well, that that that's that's not your fault.
But they've had 11 double digit win seasons, all right, and he
is known as Raven fans. You know, the most recent
snapshot of his coaching is existence, if you will.
He is very synonymous and I just gave you the stat to back it up.
Very synonymous with blown leads late since 2008, the Ravens,
Horbaugh had 41 blown fourth quarter leads, which is the
second most in football. So that tells me you got the
kind of like the Giants this year.
You've got the talent to get those leads.
I mean, if you don't have talent, you're not getting like,
how many leads did The Jets have this year that they blew?
Not many because The Jets were absolutely unwatchably and
unspeakably devoid of talent, unlike the Giants, which is
partly what made the Giants job very attractive.
I told you guys when I was still on the fan two months ago that
this would be the number one job.
I knew it. I just knew I knew the Giants
were going to change or at least I strongly felt that anything
from a budget perspective, they had enough.
It was obvious that they were going forward.
It was obvious that now you couldn't see it.
I don't know what to tell you. It was so clear to me that
Jackson Dart that his ceiling is through the roof and you know,
even without neighbors, but some defensive players like there's a
base of talent that really should make this fairly seamless
for John Horribaugh. But the fact does remain OK that
there's a lot of wins for there were a lot of wins that John
Harbaugh left on the table while with the Ravens, which was the
exact issue at least this year. Not all the other years with the
Giants sucked. I was just a lack of talent and
just ineptitude across the board.
They just had no horses where this year they jumped out to
some leads and they couldn't finish.
So, you know, John Horvos is not exactly known as a finisher and
the statistics back that up. Now that's that's the bad news.
The good news is he is the leader of men, check.
They needed that. He is capable of captivating a,
a, a locker room and rallying players, check.
And, you know, he is somebody that's going to restore
accountability and prestige and pride within the building,
within the fan base and within the staff.
So, you know, as I look at the screen here at Anthony Sidoti,
P70, who do I think is going to be the D coordinator?
It looks like like Munkin's going to be the the offensive
coordinator, which I really like.
I'm not sure from a defensive perspective.
I don't know yet. I'll do a little bit more
research on that. Anthony, I appreciate you
chopping in with that message there, buddy.
Thank you very much. Look at him getting it off the
screen like clockwork. Good job, Cole Attaboy.
But I, I, I do think that you can have two things that are
equally true. You could be incredibly fired up
and you know, you've got a guy that you know is going to give
your franchise the best chance to push forward and push forward
in a big way. Having said that, as I've
chronicled, he's not perfect now.
I mean, really, who is perfect in the in the coaching sphere
right now? Well, I mean, you want to tell
me Andy Reid's pretty close to being perfect, All right.
And I'm not talking about when Mahomes went down with the ACL.
How did the offense look when then you lost Tyree Kill and,
you know, Kelsey was wrapped up in whatever he was wrapped up in
and, you know, half committed to football and getting older.
You know, it wasn't the same. Is that Andy Reid's fault?
Is that the natural attrition of the NFLI would say it's more the
latter than the former. But like, you know, there's
just, I, I do think there's a little bit of a heightened
perception about John Horribaugh.
On a scale of 1 to 10, he's not a 10.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say he's a legitimate 8 1/2.
And I really think I would probably even push it to a nine
based on where the Giants have been.
And just he's the right guy at the right time.
You know, he's got worlds of experience.
He's not young, but he projects youthfully.
Like, I mean, who looks younger? Him and McCarthy, they're the
same age, you know, and I think those were part of the optics
that actually turned some of you off to McCarthy.
But it doesn't matter. McCarthy's not here.
So there's this dark extended chapter in New York Giants
history, you know, the fabled history of the Giants, this most
recent run, And I've chronicled this with the numbers.
I'm not going to do now, but, you know, just take my word for
it, or if you don't want to go and check it out and, and you'll
see that I'm right. This most recent run of Giant
football it it was actually worse than the 1970s.
Now when I was bizarre chick Herm Edwards scooping it up.
You know, they first moved to the Meadowlands like that team
was just I mean, historically is as bad as it gets now.
I never saw that team play, but I remember where first giant I
really started watching the giants and obviously The Jets
earliest 80s like 81. I remember the mud bowl with the
with the Dolphins and The Jets. Obviously, I remember Lawrence
Taylor. Was it Thanksgiving?
I think it was Thanksgiving with a pick six, basically like 90
something yards to the house. Like I've got these images in
these snapshots of I, I, I remember Brunel playing a little
bit when Phil was hurt. But so I didn't see the 70s.
My introduction into the Giants was the 80s.
And shortly thereafter, you know, I'm sitting there watching
one of the best defenses of all time, led by Lawrence Taylor, of
course, Carl Banks and a bunch of Gary Raisins and that crew,
right. So Martin, I think that when you
look at the 70's, the difference between the 70s and now really
is that in the 70s, you could kind of take cover it and kind
of shield yourself. Like if you're a bad product,
there's no WFAM, there's no podcast, there's no Twitter,
there's no Instagram, there's no, there's nothing.
I mean, it's there's there's a couple of writers who were
looking to bus chops and make your life miserable.
And back then the volume of of energy was reflected in the
Backpage of the newspaper. You know, think about the Tom
the Tom Seaver trade, the Midnight Massacre, you know,
certain Billy Martin, like guys were run out of town based on
the potency of the typewriter. Typewriter back then.
And you would walk around New York.
And I remember when I was going to high school in the, in the
early 90s, still going from Brooklyn to to Manhattan to go
to Xavier, I had to take a bunch of trains.
And even I don't, I don't take the trains anymore.
So I don't know if they still have them, but I guess they do.
They'd have magazine and news stands everywhere.
Yeah, I'd buy the post, I'd buy the news.
And you would just back like, boom, back.
You could not wait to see what the Backpage said.
Like that was the, the, the topic of conversation.
It wasn't Mike and Chris, you know.
Was that all right? Because Mike and Chris weren't
around yet. And even though it was loud, you
had to wait a little bit. You had to wait till the paper
came out. Which is why I said even though
back in the day, I guess they had early versions.
That's what my dad told me like that.
Two versions, like I think one that came out at like 3 or 4 and
then one the next day. Either way, it wasn't as
venomous. Well, it was venomous, but it
wasn't as all-encompassing. Like you just get hit from every
angle. Like the giants flush a lead
down the chute this year. Bang me and Sal coming on crush
job, right? Every show, crush job, every
tweet, crush job, every YouTube podcast takedown piece.
Like the giants couldn't escape it.
So the 70s were were actually not even as bad as this recent
run of giant football, but it's been louder and uglier.
I don't think, I don't know this to be sure to be true, but I'm
pretty sure there weren't planes flying overhead.
You know, sell the team, get rid of this guy, fire Dabel, fire
Shane. Like this is the shit that you
got to deal with in the year 20252026.
It's inescapable. It really is.
And that's OK. And the Giants finally put on
their big boy pants and said, you know what?
I'm done with this nonsense. I am done.
And that's why I'm so happy for John Mayra and Chris by
extension, and the Tisch family. Good for them.
The awakening. It's here the Giants finally
awoke from their slumber. They are no longer in a football
coma. They finally realized that what
they were doing was just never going to work.
Chasing your tail, hiring coordinators, you know, hoping
it works. No, this is the right move.
Is it a perfect move? I'm not saying that based on
everything that I've said, but in terms of where they are, who
is available, the messaging and just the respect that John
Horrible brings in that building the moment he zaps his swipe
card to go in officially as the head coach of the Giants.
Yeah, yeah, it's it's a phenomenal day for Big Blue
fans. I'm happy for you.
There's no doubt about it. It's really it's just watch how
many prime time games the Giants get all of a sudden.
Just watch like everything's going to change.
And if it's Monk and is the OC, watch what he does to further
accelerate the growth of Dart. Let's see what they do with the
draft. These are different topics for
different days, but you know, so they've got, you know, the old
line's gotten better, you've got the quarterback, you've got a #1
receiver. You need somebody opposite him.
Hopefully Cam's good when he comes back with the foot issue
and you know, you've got some splash players on defense.
Yeah, with a little tweak here, the linebacking core, a little
tweak in the on the third level. Like now you're humming like I'm
not saying you're going to be leading, you know, the top five
defense, but I don't know that you need to be with some of the
offensive components that they now have.
So it is just really, really good.
It is. It's pretty It's it's it's good
stuff. Let's see here at Goose is that
goose. Look at goose Looks like a
goose. Looks like an OG.
Look at the goose at goose 2774. Thank you goose thoughts on
bringing in McDaniels the OC instead of Monken I think will
be phenomenal. I'd be all for that as well.
Monken's not up for a job. McDaniels been interviewing so
you know I that's a very easy question to answer if horrible
identified McDaniels and why wouldn't you?
Because McDaniels offensive concepts are phenomenal.
He just happened to have a very limited quarterback with a pop
gun arm who, you know, unfortunately, like Dart has a
bit of a propensity for the for the concussions, the head
trauma. But that aside, like if you put
2 and you put Dart at a combine, who are you taking?
It's not even close. Jackson Dart, you know, So I
would absolutely think that that would be a phenomenal hire.
I don't really know how serious it would be or how willing, you
know, McDaniels would be to do that to go there.
I don't I don't know. I don't know.
But if you're going to hit you think about this and this
action. I'm going to weed The Jets in
for a second that can more problems for The Jets in this
regard. I'll get to Dante Moore in a
moment. Like the if you're a coach
that's desired, if you're a coach that a head coach that
just got fired, especially if you're one with an offensive
background that in the year 2026, the modern NFL were all
the rules are slanted for the offense.
Why the hell would you go? Even if they gave you a boatload
of money and an extra year guaranteed, whatever.
Why would you go to like The Jets or one of these other
situations where if The Jets start out one and five or two
and 9 or whatever the hell they might be?
Well, then guess what? Glenn's going to get fired.
At that point, you'd have to take a swing on a on a on a on
an established coach. And if not now, I'm going to RIP
down the doors of floor and park and I'm going to I don't know
what I'm going to do at that point.
Like if it when The Jets are back in the position that the
Giants just properly addressed and they rolled the dice on
another coordinator. You thought the unkillable
speech was off the rails. Wait, I'm not even going to get
into it now because it hasn't happened.
React to what you need to react to.
Maybe The Jets get it right. Maybe Glenn becomes the guy
breathes. You know, all right, enjoy it,
but if that happens, I am going to lose it.
So the issue here with like somebody like McDaniels or, or
other coaches that are valued, that have accomplishments on the
resume that are being considered for other head coaching
opportunities or prominent like coordinated positions for for
for franchises. Well, you're not going to go to
a team that very well might be looking for a coach the next
year because now, even though you get the guaranteed money,
these guys have a ton of money and you can always have more
money. I get that.
But they're thinking about more security and then elevating
their brand enough to the point where in the next coaching cycle
they really are thought to be a star.
Like if McDaniel were to come here and he aligns himself with
Dart and obviously neighbors and let's say they get another
receiver. Think the tight end room is is
is OK? It's it's fine.
It's not horrible, it's not great, but it's functional.
All lines getting there and the Giants off and suddenly and it
look good this year, really even without neighbors, there were
weeks where it looked really good.
So I would think the Giants offense will look pretty good
pretty quick. And then what happens?
Let's just say stay, stay with the McDaniels example.
Well, now let's say the Giants go, I'll be conservative.
I think they could be more than this if they have a good draft
and free agency. Let's say the Giants go 9:00 and
8:00 and they are ninth in the NFL in points per game.
And I get it, a lot of leaps of faith here.
But just to to get to the points, let's say Dart is
healthy, knock on wood. And Dart throws 29 touchdowns,
3700 yards. He runs for seven more nominal
amount of picks. You know, 10/11/12, even 13 for
young kid. That's fine because he'll be
throwing the ball quite a bit. Well, now McDaniels elevates up,
whereas conversely, let's say, let's say Glenn and McDaniels
had this great relationship and McDaniels is like, you know
what, I know you don't really have a quarterback yet, but I
want to work for you. And not that Ang Strand is going
to be fired. I'm just again making examples
comes to The Jets, right? And I'll run down the
quarterback situation in a moment based on the Dante Moore
stuff. But let's just say, I don't
know, the quarterback play is not good.
Again, not that that would happen again.
I mean, why would that? I mean, right, There's no way
that The Jets quarterback will be substandard, right?
So he comes here, gets money, gets power.
He's got the Jews, All right? It's your offense.
Do whatever you want. And The Jets suck.
And The Jets go 4 and 13, five and 12.
Middling offense, 21st in the league, No vertical game.
Yeah, the run game's fine, but not enough to change the win
loss record. Guess what happens the next
coaching cycle. Why would anybody view McDaniel,
even though they still should? Because it's based on who you
have to work with. But now the perception is, well,
it changes fast in the NFL. When you're a hot assistant,
when you're a hot commodity, you got to pop.
You got to really make that happen immediately.
So I think McDaniel, to me, would be interesting for the
Giants. I think Monken would be very
interesting for the Giants. You know, But there's a reason
why The Jets keep having to get these unproven coordinators
because that's just where they're at as a franchise.
You know, it's exciting. It's exciting when when one of
our teams hires a a coach and there's energy around it, you
know, it doesn't really, excuse me, doesn't really happen that
much in baseball. It's just different.
Like when Buck was hired by the Yankees, you know, he was a
minor league guy, sharp ahead of the analytics a little bit came
up through the system, played modern league ball with Donnie.
That's his buddy. And there was a lot of value
internally. He was really valued by the
Yankees. But I mean, I'd be lying to you
if I said, oh, you know, if I was to go back in real time,
wow, Buck Showalter, my good God, It's not like they, you
know, say, 10 years ago, you hire Tony Larussa or you hire
Billy Martin back in the day, or like Whitey Herzog or Jim Leland
or one of those big names. And even with one of those big
names, it it's just different. Like there's a different energy
because there's a different energy in how we consume
baseball and football. Baseball we watch every night.
We go nuts with a big series, Yanks, Red Sox, Yanks, Jays,
Mets, Braves, Mets, Phillies. But we really don't go nuts over
the hiring of a manager. You know, like when Boone was
introduced and and and named the skipper, I liked it.
I was intrigued by it. When Tori was introduced and
named, I was like kind of like everybody, like how we doing?
Why we hiring him? Why?
Whereas when the giant when The Jets brought in Bill Parcells,
my God, wow, it was and the dividends were immediately were
immediate. They went from A1 win team to a
nine win team to A-12 win team, and who the hell knows what they
would have done in 99. If it he's ruptured.
If it he doesn't rupture his Achilles.
You know, when Coughlin came to the Giants, there was cachet.
Not like Parcells going to The Jets, but we knew that that man
was a football coach. No nonsense, no bullshit.
Here's the rules. We are going to act like a first
rate franchise and that's what's been given back to the Giant
fans. How good does that feel?
I'd like to have that feeling
again. It's been a while.
Like when the Knicks hired Pat Riley, Wow, we got Pat Riley.
My God. Think about when they hired
Hornacek or Fisdale or, you know, Fisher or anybody really.
Even when they hired Tom Thibodeau, I think most of us
who are really devout basketball fans kind of assumed that they
would be, that the floor would be raised right away.
And all right, you got an adult in the building, no nonsense,
going to play some defense. A culture changer.
We were behind it, but we weren't energized like Giant
fans are energized right now. So good for them.
It is awesome, you know, and we'll see where it goes.
Got to have a big old net for, again, you got to sign the
contract. But the Giants really stepped up
here, man. They paid them, they cut out the
budget for the staff. They gave them the love.
They gave them the power private jets.
Eli, I mean, that's awesome that that's awesome that Coughlin.
And let me say that Coughlin called and really spoke about
the virtues of the franchise. Can I say something that I think
is absolutely awesome? And and I've heard very few
people talk about And if, by the way, I'm not really listening to
the radio much these days. So if somebody said it, I'm not
saying nobody said it like I'm the first one to say it, but I
will say it here because I really believe it.
What a character move by Brian Dabel picking up the phone and
calling John Harbaugh and selling John Harbaugh on the
building on the franchise and all the virtues of the New York
Giants like that. That takes character when you
are fired. The easy thing would be to shun
somebody. No comment, not they screwed me,
not interested, let them figure it out, whatever.
Or you talk shit about them, which is completely
unprofessional and I think big picture much more detrimental,
which is why, you know, I am a believer in taking the High Road
like it at this stage, if you don't have something good to
say, don't say it and just keep it moving and move on.
It's not going to help you. It might be a little cathartic
in the moment. I guess, you know, you kind of
get get some get some stuff out, you know, take a little bit of a
punch. Oh, you fired me.
Well, guess what? I'm going to say this about you.
Dabel had every opportunity because Dabel was the one who
want the dart. I chain Dabel actually wanted
him at 3. Now credit to Shane if if Carter
becomes what he's supposed to be and he did flash the last 4-5
six games. So I think he's going to be that
guy. I think provided it becomes a
little more professional, by the way, and I think he will
certainly with Harbaugh or he'll be gone right.
So that is just a class move by Dabel, you know, because it's
one thing for Coughlin, who's got the 2 championships, and
Eli, who is revered by every New York sports fan around.
Even if you're a Jets fan, how do you not have respect for Eli?
You have to. But for Brian Dabel to get
fired, right? And for the gentleman that he
came in with, Joe Shane, to still be in the building and
kind of overseeing to an extent, the next hiring cycle, you know,
human nature kind of kicks in and says it's very easy to sit
there and say, I got, I got absolutely shafted here.
I got host. Like I'm the one who stood up on
that table and pounded the desk. That's the quarterback that we
need. My voice and my urgency and my
unwavering belief in Jackson Dart has just set your franchise
up to win a Super Bowl within the next how many years?
If you do the other stuff that now that's up to you.
I did my job right. And it's crazy too.
And again, not to run through the whole Dabel Shane thing, but
just to further illuminate this, they had one Goodyear together,
which was year one. They won nine times, all right,
and they won a road playoff game.
Then they got smoked by Philly. But that Minnesota game was it
was pretty freaking awesome on the road.
And Daniel Jones was revived and resuscitated and repackaged a
little bit. Wasn't Joe Shane, it was stable.
Shane had nothing to do with that.
So the one guy who was clearly most instrumental in the most
recent success? Indisputable.
Nobody can refute that. It's a fact was shown the door
and unceremoniously fired. And when you're fired, in a lot
of ways you are, you know, it's it's left at your doorstep like,
well, you know, let's this guy didn't get the job done.
I mean, don't look at me. I mean, I'm the GM.
I'm still here, you know, I'm still here.
And he was fired before the defensive coordinator who under
his jurisdiction, if maybe a strange word to use, but his is
coaching jurisdiction. They flushed down lead after
lead after lead after lead, and he got the stick around longer
than the coach. So in all the years that they
were together, the Giants sucked everyone except one.
And Shane's influence on that first roster, which did win the
road playoff game, was nominal. That was all, not all, but that
was largely a result of Dables coaching and his aggressiveness.
Week one in Tennessee. Not we're going for two, let's
go. We're going for 2GO for two,
let's go. And that was, that's why I
thought right away, I'm like, woof, Giants, Giants got their
guy. I was really enamored.
We all were with Dabel early on. And I, I could promise you that
from somebody who was just let go by their previous employer,
it hurts. It it, it absolutely stings.
There's no, there's no way around it unless you're a robot,
which I'm not and Abel's not. You feel it because you
personalize it and you internalize it and you think
about like, was it right? Was it fair?
What did I do wrong? I thought I was doing well.
Like you think, you think about all the stuff if you're a human
being who cares about your job, which I obviously do.
And Abel obviously does. So for him to say that stuff I
thought was of such great value, such a great reflection of who
he is as a man, who he is as a person.
And I wanted to salute Dabel. That's awesome.
That is not easy to. It's easy to say I'm going to do
that, but it's not easy to do it.
Pick up. Literally pick up the phone.
Pick up the phone. Hey, John, it's Dave's.
What's going on, buddy? Yeah.
Hey, it's a great place to work, man.
Honestly. You going to love Mr. Mara?
Tish, Chris, Mara. You know, I know we didn't win a
ton, but that is a good building, A strong, unified
building. Good people, great respect,
great legacy you you you would love it there.
I just want to let you know that click that takes a big man to do
that. The easiest thing is I'm not
picking up that call. Screw it in all right now let me
get to Dante Moore for a second keep those giant things coming.
It's easier to see with the Super chats, but because it's
just easier because there's a lot coming in, but whatever, do
whatever you guys got to do All right, so Dante Moore who who
does he think that he is? Dante Moore?
I see I'm down in my basement working out yesterday after the
show, right? And you know, I've got like an
hour and a 15 minute cycle where I just kind of go through 5 or 6
like battle ropes and, you know, dumbbell presses, whatever I'm
doing, right, Speed bag. It's broke though.
I got to fix that just to kind of stay mentally I'm home.
Like, I got it. Yeah, I got this stuff here and
to stay sharp, right? So the way I am now at this day,
like back in the day, I would just go to the gym and you know,
I would lock in for like 2 hours.
I'd have my music on. I really wouldn't do a lot of
time. And I would get after it as
much, as much as I could physically.
And I, you know, I would go a lot, right?
But now, like I, I got, I have to have my phone next to me
like, and what I'll do is after a tough Rep, I won't stay on a
long, but just to kind of make that act that 30 seconds pass in
between reps, whatever it might be, I'll open up the phone.
And I see Schefter with the tweet, right?
Dante Moore announcement on SportsCenter to let us know his
intentions declaring or going back to Oregon.
Who the hell cares? I'm not saying that Dante Moore
can't be a good player. Oh my God.
But did Dante Moore really need to go on Sports Center and tell
us now? It's one thing if he said I'm
going to declare for the NFL draft, which, by the way, I
wouldn't even use the ESPN vehicle for that.
Just tweet it, dude. Have a press.
Like, do it, you know, don't, don't do, don't be LeBron with
the Decision. How weird was that?
And then I think he's a good young man.
I'm not trying to knock him. I just thought that was bad
advice. And then he got like, you know,
Schefter tweeting this out like it's like, it's a massive, who
gives a shit that he's going on Sports Center to tell us what's
going to happen. So what now?
He did The Jets a massive favor. He did The Jets a massive favor.
I did not want The Jets really, if you think about this guy's,
to be saddled with the decision. All right, we need a
quarterback. Mendoza's going one.
We're The Jets. So of course we've got no luck.
And Dante Moore's talented right now.
I'm not trying to come down on the young man.
I just think he got poor advice. I would not have done that if I
was Dante Moore. I just think it was unnecessary
and over the top and really useless, especially since he's
going back to Oregon. So I just had to get that and
that bothered me and get that out of my system.
But The Jets, if Moore would have said the opposite
yesterday, Yep, I'm coming out now, The Jets would have had to
seriously investigate taking him at 2.
They had, they would have had to.
And let me tell you what would have happened, because everybody
that goes through the combine system, put them in shorts, let
them run, you know, give him a month or two to tack on 7 or 8
lbs of functional weight, you know, all that good stuff, which
he obviously would have done, right.
I think that The Jets would have absolutely fooled themselves
into believing that they that he was the right pick.
And he's not. He's not he's not the right
pick. He's not the right pick for The
Jets. He might be the right pick for
if you go to the 49ers, like if the 49ers moved up of somehow if
he came out, hey, you know what, we're going to be aggressive and
because we're the Niners, we do things that some other teams
don't think about doing and we usually doing well.
So we're going to trade up to two.
We're going to take this kid, he's going to sit and watch
Purdy for a year or two. Then we're going to unleash him,
get him in the Shanahan lab and watch.
He'll be the next guy to win the quarterback.
Would that happen with The Jets? No, that would not happen with
The Jets. What would happen with The Jets
is that there would be a lot of fanfare.
All right? Yeah.
Look at, oh, look at these throws he's making at the
combine. Oh, look at his scores at the.
Look what he ran the 40 or whatever it might be.
Oh, I heard he's interviewing. Great.
You know how the hype machine at the combine is almost always
favorable to a quarterback? There are very few where they
are downgraded. There's almost always an
elevation. You started getting that buzz
around Jackson Dart and many, many, many Blake Bortles shot up
and from UCFI mean Blake Bort, come on, There's been a lot of
Achille Smith. I'm not even going to run down
all the quarterbacks. There's too many.
But you know what I mean, where there's been this this elevation
to a spot that nobody really saw them in during the season when,
I don't know, we were actually watching them play college
football games, which kind of matters a little bit more than
going on the turf field in the bubble in Indianapolis and
running and throwing against air.
I mean, really with all these drills that you've been
practicing and getting ready for with your camp in preparation
for the combine, because everybody knows exactly what
drill is coming when you go to the combine.
So to me that's not at all that's not at all really any
sort of measurement to me. Brian at Brian NY 2220 more will
be be behind car and Manning next year.
He very well might you know, by the way, thank you.
Appreciate that Brian. So the quarterbacks like next
year supposed to be an amazing crop of quarterbacks, but that
sounds good now and by by the way, I think Arch will be one of
them. Car might be as well.
And and I think Dante Moore is going to get and rightfully so,
very highly drafted. Might knock on Moore is just a
lack of experience. He's very young and he's very
frail and for a team like The Jets with nothing to properly
surround him with, it would have been a disaster waiting to
happen and they would have convinced himself that he would
have been the right choice for them.
Which one I think would have gone up in flames.
But the some of the quarterbacks now now now that are going to go
later non first round picks. Think about the kid from LSU
like I remember last year, say, I remember looking at mock
drafts last year at this time in in anticipation of this college
season that is just about to end with the national championship.
And the kid from LSU was thought to be some superstar.
Didn't hear his name at all this year.
What the hell did Nicebound? I can't even say Knight, Knight
Knight Nicebaum or whatever his name is.
You know what I'm talking about. I've seen him play and I know
that there's some good, you know, recent synergy with LSU
quarterbacks, particularly Burrow and a ton of receivers as
well. But that doesn't mean that he's
going to be the guy. But yet a year ago, people
thought he'd be a top five, top seven, top ten pick.
So things change fast. And I was just very turned off
by Dante and and by Dante Moore announcing that on Sports
Center. And I'm not going to belabor
that. Listen, if I was 20 years old
and you know, I'm getting guidance and I'm in this new
modern world and all right, look at me, click, click, hype.
Look at me, click, click, hype. I understand how the machine
works. Trust me, I get it.
I mean, there's kids and my son won't have this anytime soon,
that's for sure. But there's a lot of kids out
there who are the same age who are really, really good baseball
players, teammates, competitors, right, that already have
Instagram accounts, like touting their baseball prowess myself.
And I'm not knocking it that everybody's different and some
of these kids are amazing. I just think it's too early,
like eventually if you're good enough, you're going to get
recruited, you're going to get discovered.
Put the work in, have fun. You don't have to put everything
out there every time you're working out.
Look at me lifting weights. Look at me doing box jumps.
Now I know I put something on the other day with it's on my
Instagram account on mine, not his.
He didn't have one that where I was doing a drill with him in
the basement. But I also do some youth content
and that was me showing you that something that you can do in the
Northeast if you really don't have a lot of space where you
can't get outdoors because it's too cold.
So that I perceive that to be a little different.
But the point is, I understand the modern machine, the hype
machine, right? The hype videos.
But I wonder if he was so fixated on that yesterday, is he
really locked in? I don't, I don't know, Maybe I'm
thinking too much of it. Maybe I'm maybe I'm being unfair
to the young man and it doesn't mean that if The Jets suck next
year and he has a big year and he's thought, I'm not saying I
wouldn't draft them. I just need more experience.
Like it's more about the data that is irrefutable in the
history of the NFLX amount of starts more than better chance
of success, less than you're going to get swabbled up.
You know, So I I that that's more my pushback there.
But I don't know, like I don't see, I don't know, I don't see
Mendoza doing that. Not that he could because he has
to come out this year, but I don't think Arch Arch is not
doing that. Just play football, man.
You know, just do your work when nobody's looking.
Stay in the lab when it's time to make the announcement, make
the announcement however you want, but to make a non
announcement, it is what was very baffling to me.
But again, without railing on that, because I'm not trying to
take a shot at the young man, he seems like a good kid and he's a
very talented player. I just don't.
I'm just happy that The Jets get spared the trap of falling in
love with him, which I really believe they would have at
Gerndog 9, O1, SBT. What up there, Gerndog?
Would you trade down and build around the 2027 draft?
I just addressed that. Would you rather have the next?
Would you rather have the next coach draft rather than Glenn?
Listen, there's a lot of things here.
There's a lot of things there. OK.
Now, of course, selfishly, there's also a part of me that
really wishes that Dante Moore would have entered the draft
because then that would have prevented or presented a lot of
trade opportunities, whether it's maybe the Browns, whether
it's the Cardinals and couple of other teams, maybe even somebody
I'm not even thinking about that would have been willing to move
up to get him. And then if it's the real right
situation, let him sit for a year, good player behind them,
eventually transition, you know, like functional franchises do,
right? So that would have been very
appealing because there's just, I, I think there would have
been, there would have been a demand for him.
All right, There's always a demand for quarterbacks,
especially when there's only two, because Simpson's not going
top ten. I got a note for Simpson in a
minute, but he's not going top ten no matter what he does with
the combine. Like there's, there's, there's
elevations and there's guys who certainly build their resume
and, and enhance the perception of, of, of where they should get
drafted. But I don't think it's going to
be enough for Simpson to crack the top ten.
I think he's kind of more mid teens, early 20s, maybe even
late 20s and it could even be second round if he doesn't have
a great workout. But I, I, it would have been
nice to have the opportunity to do that because with the two
first round picks now and with the three next year and an
abundance of holes everywhere. Yeah.
I was sitting there saying, all right, if they don't love more
and somebody wants to trade up and it's a great trade, then you
trade out. You got the Colts pick, you got
your pick, you get the other pick, you get 3 next year, you
got a bunch of second round picks.
Build the roster out, build it out and think about this now,
even if they don't trade out. And I will do much more
substantive draft coverage as I get closer to it.
But I'm going to give you a little thumbnail here why I
think some Jets fans are misreading.
And maybe you're a little unnecessarily depressed, not
about being a Jets fan, but about the prospects of doing
something very, very big in this draft.
Even if they stay at #2 all right.
And generally it's #2 you want to take that book and left
tackle, you know, you want to take that lockdown corner and
obviously you want to take that quarterback.
So they're not taking a quarterback at 2.
They're not taking a tackle because they have two terrific
ones in old who fashioned new and and membooed.
So that's all locked there. So they can go a couple of
directions. Let me ask, let me ask you this,
Do The Jets need a linebacker that can run, that can hit, that
can disrupt? The answer is yes.
Do The Jets need somebody on the edge?
The answer is yes. That could just crush the
pocket, you know, crash the edge and make life live in hell, flip
the field, splash plays. You know everything that they
don't do? Yes.
Do they need a safety? My God, do they need a safety?
Do they need a big receiver opposite Garrett Wilson or just
another incredible receiver opposite Garrett Wilson?
The answer is undeniably yes. So then again, I'll do this much
more thoroughly, and I'll even incorporate the Giants draft
stuff, obviously here on BT Unleashed.
But between Reese, the linebacker at Ohio State, who
could go #2 And if you ask me right now, if The Jets don't
trade out, that's probably what I would do.
I want to see Baines. I want to see him a little bit
more playing in the championship.
But you got the linebacker, which you desperately need.
You've got the edge man in Bain coming from Miami.
You've got the safety and Caleb Downs coming out of Ohio State.
Now. I mean to take a safety #2 think
about how we crushed The Jets for taking a safety at #6 and
then they took another safety in the second round in May, Right
back-to-back safeties. Who the hell takes back-to-back
safeties? My God.
But Caleb Downs, to me, it's somebody worth it because not
only is he making play and if you've seen him play, you know
this, not only does he make plays back there, he comes up to
the line of scrimmage and he dismantles people like he's a
difference maker. He is a stud.
So I'm open to that. And maybe even if you trade out
of two, when you trade down to four, just throwing things out
or 6, maybe you take him there, maybe you don't take him to two,
but he's in the conversation. And then the receivers I talked
about you got the kid at Arizona State, you got Jordan Tyson and
obviously Tate from Ohio State. So again, that's just basic
stuff kind of getting the ball moving here.
But that's in reaction to Dante Moore's decision.
He is he no, you know, and, and, and I, I do think it seems like
The Jets fan is a little unnecessarily downtrodden today.
Listen, I am of the mindset based on his decision.
I've always been on the mindset of the mindset.
Options are good. Now you've got to be
intelligent, you've got to be intuitive, you've got to be
instinctual. You've got to have certain
things to take to be able to process the options and then
eventually make the right choice.
It's just because you have options doesn't mean you get a
guarantee, make the right choice.
But when you have a paucity of options, then you're really
going to be up, up against the wall in terms of a percentage of
making the right choice. So I'm a believer in options.
So if Dante Moore came out, I would have been excited, even
though I just said it prevents The Jets from probably doing the
wrong thing. That's one side of the coin,
which I obviously believe. But the other side of the coin
is definitely all right, calm down, tap the brakes.
I just gave you a linebacker, an edge watcher, a safety and two
wide receivers that you could take it to if they grayed out
and measure out the way that you need them to.
Or you can make a trade. If somebody say if somebody
loves Reese and The Jets are not inclined to go linebacker too,
because there's no quarterback to play here, well then, and I
don't even know who that team would be.
Somebody, I don't know, pick an eighth, whoever that is.
I don't even know if the top of my head.
They love this kid. They need this kid.
All right, you can take him and we'll drop down to 8.
Mendoza will go one. Giants could go receiver, Giants
could go linebacker. Giants could conceivably go
online. Giants.
Giants need a lot of things in the secondary as well.
But there's always a way to find a match where you can still get
a pressing need. And that's the beautiful thing.
If there is, if there's any solace, if you want to take any
solace, and being where The Jets are, who have from 1:00 to 53,
the absolute worst talent in the NFL, it's not just like, all
right, there's three receivers who are good and everything else
is kind of lean. You don't have to address the
offensive line early in the first round at all.
And they won't, right? They've really got one decision
to make. Are you bringing back Simpson or
you bringing back ABT? And I'll hit that during another
podcast here, But they don't need to take a tackle early.
So that's good. So you need a linebacker, you
need somebody to get to the quarterback, You need a safety,
you need another receiver opposite Garrett Wilson.
Those choices are all there. And that is a beautiful
abundance of options. And the good thing, even though
it's The Jets, to me, the good thing is I think there's a
really good chance that Mooji's going to crush this.
I love, I absolutely love what Mooji has done so far on on a
smaller scale, obviously with, with some of the early pickups
early in the year, even Brownlee, who kind of fizzled
out, But getting the kicking game right, returners, you know,
cutting the guy, picking somebody up, elevating somebody.
Like there were some really good things that were done by Mooji,
not to mention drafting membood, who was phenomenal, you know,
And then I, I, I I love the sauce trade and I love the Q
trade because The Jets are nowhere near ready to win.
And but and by the time that they do or by the time that they
are ready to win, I'd have to think that they are going to
like, like sauce and cue their prime would probably expire or
at least not be on the same line, same line of Saint Panther
congruent with where The Jets were.
So, yeah. All right.
At Joe's 4987. What's up, Joe?
Love the show. I appreciate that.
Joe. Joe, let me know where you
checking in from, by the way. Let let me do that or you guys
do that for me as you hit me up on the on the chats here and you
check in the questions, whatever, even if it's just say
something about the show, which I obviously appreciate.
Let me know where you're coming in from.
You know, I want to know because I know we have a lot of
national, you know, across the country, across the world.
You know, we've got people in Australia who've been checking
into BT unleash from day one. So that is fantastic.
I just like to know where you are.
You know, maybe you tell me where you live.
Maybe it sparks a story. Just never know where it could
go. So let me know as you text these
questions that my producer fires them up.
Watch tomorrow's show is going to be a mess when he goes back
to school. See how smooth it is.
Start talking Jets. Jets talk.
Start talking Giants. Giants talk.
It's a beautiful thing. Who needs school?
Yeah, I didn't. I didn't really like school that
much. I'm doing all right.
You need school kids. I'm just kidding.
Of course. All right, I had one more thing
for you on Simpson. Where was it?
I know I wrote it down. I'd really.
I had it in my head anyway. If I can't find it, it's really
not a big deal. Great day for the Giants.
You guys just tuned it in. Yeah, I, I guess I can hit you
with this really fast here. So without Dante Moore as an
option, you're going to hear a lot of Kalamori.
You're going to hear a lot of Malik Willis.
You're going to hear a lot of Mac Jones.
You're going to hear a lot of a little bit of Simpson moving to
the draft, and you're going to hear a little bit of Kirk
Cousins and Marcus Mario. Oh, my God.
Now, like if it was one of those guys and you wound up drafting
Dante Moore or even Ty Simpson, to me, that's a lot more
palatable than current. Let's bring in Kirk Cousins and
Dante or Mariota and have Tyrod Taylor and Brady cook in the
quarterback room. Like we can't be having that.
Like I I just I can't sit through that.
I won't sit through that again. And I think the Muji knows that.
That's got to be seriously upgraded.
Now quick little scout report on each one of those names and then
I'm going to finish it up with Simpson and then I've got let me
jot this down so I don't forget little something on the Knicks.
And Speaking of something that I want to make sure I don't
forget. Shout out to my guy Neil.
Where's Neil out? Where's Neil at, Matt?
Neil, you're out there. You don't need to know Neil,
guys, I know Neil. Neil reached out to me, and as
we had some technical stuff going on, Neil stepped up above
and beyond and was able to help, you know, get some clarity here
and move some things and really just do something that I greatly
appreciate, you know, just to get the pod back humming up
there and getting everything like it was the first couple of
weeks, you know? So, Neil, thank you very much,
man. I appreciate that.
I appreciated the e-mail. Very genuine person, a really
nice deed. You weren't asking for anything,
but I wanted to give you that shout out.
Thank you, bro. I appreciate that.
All right, so I got Neil out of the way.
That was awesome, Neil. Good stuff, dude.
I'll get to the next thing in a minute.
Carla Murray. All right, Am I interested?
Yeah, I mean, you'd have to trade for him.
I don't know what they would want.
He's got two years left on his contract.
Look at him. Thank you, Neil.
There you go. Nice.
Hey, he spelled it right, too. He could have spelled it Neal,
right. He could have.
Anyway, two years left and $230 million on that extension.
Does anybody really want a piece of that?
I don't. I do think that Kyler Murray has
a chance to have a good second act.
I'm not giving up on him as a player.
I'd have to see exactly what's coming monetarily from there to
here, what it would say, like you're not giving up a first
round pick. Like if it's a middle round,
like, wait a second, I put me on the spot here, Jeez.
Third round pick with the chance to move to A2, maybe maybe even
A2 with a chance to move up to A1, maybe, maybe I would at
least have the conversation, see where he's at, see where the
cards are AT and see what we could do.
But that would be a trade. Malik Willis.
It's an interesting one. You're gonna hear Malik with us
a lot. He he's proven to be a a
certainly a sound plug in guy. He's talented.
I remember watching him at Liberty quite a bit.
He's a free agent. He's at a good age.
He's kind of in that wheelhouse age.
He's 27. He's made some starts.
He's been a backup. He's been in some good systems.
Now the the issue with somebody like him would be all right.
Is he getting Justin Fields type money which is fine?
Although you still going to have to like there's dead money with
the Justin Fields. You know, they decided this is
probably a mistake that Muji made.
He just rather than absorb the Rogers money right away, kind of
split it in two years. That probably in hindsight
wasn't the proper decision, I think.
So maybe a little slight knock on Mooji, but I still have great
faith in him. That's more of like a clerical
thing, whatever. But you know, it's going to be,
even though they've got a lot of money, 70 something, $1,000,000
under the cap and possibly more if you, you know, restructure
some stuff, you could always get creative.
So The Jets have a ton of space. Yeah, absolutely.
Hit the like button for BT Thank you very much.
At Boba bombs or Baba bombs. But no, what both these names,
these, these, look at these images.
Why would I don't even know what that thing is at boba bombs.
My daughter was telling me last night about Jelly cats.
You know, now I, she showed me 19 Jelly cats.
We just went through the what were those things called?
The the Boo boos. You know, let me.
I'm gonna take a little side swipe here.
And they're not idiots, by the way, the people who.
I'll get back to the jet stuff in a minute, Jelly.
Thank you. Thank you very much there, Mr.
Producer. Jelly cats the the ability to
manipulate young minds from a product perspective is actually
brilliant. Now it's also fairly
reprehensible in some way because these things aren't
cheap. List might like the Liboo boos.
I remember the first time I heard about liboo boos right?
We, it was during the summer and we had about, I don't know, 20
people in my backyard and the guys were by the fire pit.
And then, you know, the women were kind of sitting down having
a glass of wine on, on the other side of the yard, you know, and
like, I hear the word libooboo. And I had never heard that in my
life. I'm like, what the hell is a
libooboo? And then I look at them and
like, they're on the, the moms. Cuz my daughter's nine, she
doesn't have a phone. My son just got one turned 11.
He just got one and if he messes around, then he's irresponsible.
I'm going to smash it into smithereens.
He knows that with a baseball bat, the fungo bat that I used
to hit him ground balls, right. So anyway, I see all these all
the all the moms. I guess what liboo Boo was back
then. I don't even know if it's I
don't even think it's popular anymore.
I've not heard about a Lib Boo Boo.
I don't even think Santa brought one for my daughter.
So that's phased out right. Anyway, all the moms are on the
phone and like to get a certain Lib Boo Boo, but I think that
you don't even necessarily know which liboo Boo you're getting.
It's like a blind like a blind draw.
You got to get in certain time. Oh 12 midnight 11:00 the next
Libooboo drops like you, you couldn't pay me to get involved
with that nonsense. You honestly, you really
couldn't pay me. So the libooboo fed has died out
now you got the Jelly cats fed. Now these were this was not the
case when I was younger. It just wasn't.
You had Cabbage Patch Kids and my sister had a lot and like,
you know, they were collectibles and they were valuables.
I remember one year I was really young.
My, my Santa even brought me one.
It was like a baseball cabbage, but I don't think I touched it
once. Like it was just like my when my
mom would make my bed, she would like kind of put it on top of
the pillow. I had no interest in the Cabbage
Patch Kid. I'm sorry.
Now I wish I had it today. I'd sell it.
But there wasn't like fat after fat after fat after fed.
Now they just move on to the next, like Jay-Z on to the next
one. And I mean, I'm not maybe for
making a buck, but the manipulation of because really,
it's not the kids fault. They don't know any better.
Look what my friend has. Mom, I need one, Dad, I need 1.
So last night I was on the the Jelly Cat Express.
My daughter, who's amazing, was showing me all those things.
And we're going to get her a couple.
Of course Daddy's going to Daddy's going to come.
Can't say no to his little Princess.
He'll get a couple. All right, so I gave you stuff
on Belik with us, right? How about Mack Jones, Right.
So Mack Jones, you're gonna have to trade for Mack Jones.
He is under contract. I think that right now, to me,
is probably the best way to go, especially if you draft somebody
like Ty Simpson, who was at Alabama, like Mack Jones.
That'll be pretty interesting quarterback room.
Mack Jones can play. You know, he's been a failed top
pick. So he's been humbled there.
He sat, he's watched, he's been in a great system.
You plug them in when Purdy got hurt, went five and three had 13
touchdowns during Purdy's absence.
He's a good, but now he's not a not a next level elite
quarterback, but he's he's good and he's certainly better than
anything we've had for a long time.
So you know, I would I would be very, very open.
Matter of fact that to me right now is the most appealing.
Probably Malik Willis would be second, Murray a distant third.
You know, I think I mentioned Kirk Cousins, Mariota.
All right, let me give you a little something on on Ty
Simpson here and I want you to think about this right.
So you guys watch Ty Simpson in the playoffs and he was awful.
He didn't play well, didn't have much around them.
Do you know that or what was was it night?
I got to give you the exact year I tweeted this year.
I just want to make sure I've got the year.
I think it was 89. I no, I think it was 9898 or 99.
So when you think about Alabama, even though Alabama is not
nearly what they were, their old line was a disaster and they're
running game by extension of a poor old line was not existing.
The Crimson Tides running game was awful.
All right, they averaged, yeah, 98.
They averaged Alabama. I know Saban's gone.
I know Nils changed some stuff, but it's still Alabama and it's
still the SEC, right? They averaged 3.4 yards a carry,
which was like 120th nationally, and that was their lowest yards
per attempt since 1998. So I'm not saying the Ty
Simpson's great, but I what I am saying is my evaluation of Ty
Simpson, I think is probably more measured than some of you
who watched him play poorly and even got hurt too in that game.
Watch. And he was hurt a lot of the
year, watched him play poorly and just downgraded him.
Nah, there's no way I could draft this guy.
Well, I mean, I'm not drafting him #2 that's for sure.
Would I be open as we begin the evaluation process of maybe
drafting him with the Colts pick or maybe trading down or maybe
taking a second round pick and trading up and drafting them
late in the first round? I'd have to say right now my
answer will be yes. Because Ty Simpson, I remember
in the car and I was listening to one of their games late,
actually maybe in the playoff game.
Yeah, because I was coming back from somewhere, got home, put
the game on and I didn't even know the stat.
And I I watch, I watch college football, you know, not as quite
as much as I used to, but like, I'm not just jumping in now.
Oh, wow, Mendoza's good. What's going on in Indiana?
Like I've been watching Indiana all year.
I've been watching Oregon all year, been watching the Buckeyes
in Michigan all year. Like I watch it probably more
than I would let on. So you don't really talk about
college football on on the fan. It doesn't really hit, doesn't
resonate. And it's not a market for it as
much. Yanks, Mets, Jets, Giants,
Knicks. So yeah, kind of just bypassed
it. But I love it, right?
And I did it every day nationally with Tiki for 10
years. So I'm equipped to do it.
And I heard the stat on the radio and I'm like, wow.
And then I double checked. I'm like, yeah, that's right.
He was throwing seven. He was throwing the football 71%
of the time this year. So not only what did they have a
feeble rushing attack where they just didn't get anything done
when they actually decided to run And he was running for his
life because in terms of pass protection, his offensive line
stunk. But from a down and distance
perspective, it it couldn't be worse.
So let me get this straight. The other team knows you're
going to throw. And even though you attempt a
little bit to run on 1st down and get a couple of yards and
set up something that's, you know, more doable on 2nd.
So it's not second and nine it's, you know, maybe second and
2nd and five something second and six, whatever it was so
often the third and nine, you know, 2nd and 11 after a sack or
whatever my or negative run. And and I think that people are
looking at Ty Simpson and looking at the numbers and
looking at Alabama and I wasn't they were they weren't that damn
weren't that good this year. Well, they weren't all right,
but they weren't good offensively or potent as much as
we expect them to be because they could not run the ball.
I'm at least intrigued tonight. I just gave you the numbers to
back back that up. I'm intrigued enough.
At least 2. Watch Alabama, watch Ty Simpson
go through this process and if The Jets team him interesting
enough to draft him somewhere where I just told you where I
would be OK with them drafting him not #2 the other spots,
well, then I think that Ty Simpson with a running game,
which is the one thing that The Jets actually have already,
could be interesting. I'll leave it at that.
It's not like I I need Ty Simpson tell, you know, give me
liberty or give me death. Give me Ty Simpson or give me
nobody. No, I'm not saying that.
What I am saying is I think many of you have incorrectly
prematurely written him off because there's a lot of lazy
analysis that goes on with these players, right?
We're not at you, especially when you look at New York.
We're not a college football hotbed.
You know, we're pro town now. Many of you went to Big 10 SEC
school. So I'm, I'm, I'm not casting
that aspersion on everybody obviously in the tri-state area,
but in large part I didn't grow up watching college football
outside of maybe the Buckeyes and Little Wisconsin, little
Michigan when I was young, even Army, I remember being on TV a
little bit back in the day. So it is what it is.
You know, it's, it's just not really doesn't have that
presence where we where I am in the Northeast.
And by extension, you don't really grow up.
It's not a religion, it's not a cult.
So you're not as into it as you are The Jets and the Giants and
the Yankees and the Mets and the Knicks.
So I just say that because I'm not even blaming you.
It just is what it is. But if you really do some
homework on Ty Simpson, you will understand that he was put in a
very unenviable position. Oh, now I think Mendoza is
phenomenal. Look at the way they ran the
ball every six yards, 7 yards, 11 yards, 13 yards, 5 yards.
Like all right, is it third and one?
It's second and one after a 9 yard run, 9 yard run off tackle.
I mean, who can't play well with that right now?
The other stuff to evaluate is obviously there as well for
Mendoza, but I think Ty Simpson is better than many of you
think, and I at least would incorporate him strongly.
What he did not have at Alabama that every other Alabama
quarterback before him had, he did not have that at his
disposal. So that's intriguing to me and
it's intriguing enough where I am going to keep an eye on that,
see what's going on. And, you know, that's, that's
something I'm very interested in.
What's this here? See, I'm going to, I'm going to
pop that one up. My, then my did he fall asleep?
And where's the text? Was he shooting hoops in his, in
his playroom at Allen Z 1953? I don't understand people who
cheer for a college football team and they aren't an alumni.
Very strange. Strange is not the right word.
I, I, I definitely wouldn't say that.
I don't think that that's fair. I guess I understand you to an
extent. Like, all right, you grow up,
you grow up in Brooklyn, you grow up in Queens, you grow up
in Long Island, you grow up on New Jersey, Connecticut.
Somebody in your family is introducing you to the Yanks and
the Mets with The Jets. And you're a devout fan of that
team from from the jump, right. So what is how does that happen
in college football? I mean, it's not up to me to
judge the fandom now if I think you're a lame fan, I think
you're a front runner. If I think you're, I can
critique elements of fandom that I think are wrong, like
factually wrong or just from an energy perspective wrong or take
that's wrong. But who the hell am I?
I mean, I'm not the fan God here where I can, you know, just wave
a magic wand and say no, you should not be able to do the
roof for whoever you want. I mean, yeah, it's stronger when
you go to a certain school, obviously.
That goes without saying, but you know, I mean, maybe just
something sparked your interest as a young kid.
You liked the helmet, you liked the uniform.
Maybe you got you. You went to a game when you were
you went to the big house when you were nine years old and
you're a Michigan fan for life. Even though you didn't go to
Michigan at Joe Joe S 4987 producers doing a great job.
BT he is he's doing a well. He's doing a really good job.
He's got to go to the doctor soon for one of the check UPS.
They're all good. So Mommy's going to take him
soon and then Daddy's going to go to Queens today to shoot
episode number 2 of the Red Storm Report with Rick Pitino.
It's crazy, man. Like when I was at the fan, I am
working more now than I have worked.
And I've always been a worker. Like I'm I am not afraid to roll
up my sleeves and get dirty and work.
That's who I am, right? But it's a lot.
It's, it's even more so I would get up, you know, and I was
going to the fan. I was going to that building for
13 years, 13 years, right, 10 nationally, 3 on the fan, but
same building, same floor over on Hudson.
And I would leave the house around 7.
Let's see 72730 you know, flip on the morning show, get a cup
of coffee, drive in, take me about an hour and 15 minutes,
sometimes more with traffic, park the car in my at the garage
that of course had a waste money paying for.
Thank God that's gone. What a waste of money.
I won't even tell you how much God walk three blocks to the
station and I'd like to get there about 8:30, about at least
an hour and a half or so before the show.
So I got my private time, my coffee, my reading, set the show
up. Then obviously get with Sal, get
with Hoff, get with whatever we're going to get with, get the
show going. Start through the show. 1234
hours and 1 Good thing is like I just bounced right away.
Shows over responsibilities done for the day, at least for that
part. I would leave, I'd walk two
blocks, go to my car, get home and a lot of times beat the kids
home. So I would be home by about
because coming back, it was no rush hour.
So I'd get home maybe in 50 minutes rather than an hour and
15 or whatever it might be. And, and and, you know, and it
would be. But then I'd come in my office
and I would do a like a little bit of tiny work emails, you
know, text, going with Sal, whatever set the show up good.
Watch the games I got to watch, read what I got to read.
Go with this. And I actually love it.
It doesn't stop like it's just it is completely me and and
obviously my son's doing a phenomenal job and we'll
announce our producer possibly today should be done by next
week full time. Sorry, called full time
producer. You could be the associate
producer and you know, so, but I'll still have to get like
everything to him. Hey, here's what I'm doing.
So here's the thumbnail you got to do here's what you got to do
with the shorts. Hey, I remember that.
Let's get this guy. Let's get this gas.
You got to do that. Like it's going to be a lot and
it's just complete ownership of the entire operation.
So you don't you don't leave a building like I might leave the
house to go get gas or to go just get some fresh air, go get
a Gatorade, go to practice, go to watch a game.
Yeah, but I am in this office a lot and it's like it's trench
time and this is the foundation. This is awesome, awesome.
I I really I love it and I'm really thankful I haven't said
this to wall No, maybe I did, but I'll say it again.
It's worth because I mean it. I'm very thankful to those of
you. We're going to get 14,000 Subs
probably by tonight. I want to have I want to have 20
by the end of January. The little YouTube snag kind of
stagnated that a little bit, but we're good to go.
I want to have 20,000 Subs by February 1st.
And then it's my intention to and it's my expectation that
during the draft and certainly during baseball season is when
we hit a new level and just explode.
And sponsorships are there. Can't announce anything yet, but
we are, we got some good things coming.
The studio redesign, which I've mentioned, I've said all these
things, but I don't want to assume that everybody has been
there from day one. So if you just stumbled upon BT
Unleashed, thank you. I obviously appreciate it.
And I still consider this the foundation of our home, of my
new home. And you know, it's funny and I
never thought I would do this. I remember when the kids were
born, we were living in a condo and we are looking for a home.
Obviously wanted to find the good neighborhood with good
schools and you know, nice homes and proximity to Manhattan, good
sports. You know that I was thinking
that was even more important than school.
That's good. And all those checklist that we
had, right? And I remember, and it's very
similar. God, I remember I was at the
Super Bowl. Was it Atlanta?
I think it may have been Atlanta.
And we may have looked at 100 homes in all really nice
neighborhoods, very desirable spots.
And nothing really like if we love the home, maybe the one
next to it was a little rundown or great school.
There's no backyard space. I mean, when you're in the home
hunting process, it's it's daunting.
Even if you have a decent budget, it's daunting.
So I remember my wife called me and I'm at the Super Bowl and
she's like, what do you think about building a home?
Building a home? What?
There's no way in hell I'm building a home.
And because I was away and the kids were really young, her
parents, which which they do a lot, which is great.
They came in from Dallas to help out and I remember hanging up
the phone. I'm saying you can't pay me to
build a build a home. There's no way I'm getting
involved with this. Building a home from you mean
build a home from the dirt up. And here we are all these years
later. We actually did build build it
up and we built the home and we love it.
Great area, you know, great friends, great school, great
sports, good stuff close to the city.
Not that I need that anymore. And anyway, I say that because
it it was such great pride. I remember like we would go to
church and then we would drive out to where we are now and go
to lunch and the kids were like 2 and three.
They were young. Go to a nice little restaurant,
sit down, come and take pictures as the home was being built to
document it. Like, all right, here's the
concrete foundation. All look, they got the wooden,
you know, though not the wooden boards, but whatever the
foundation is up, the wooden foundations up.
Hey, look, they're gonna insulate it today, guys also,
and we've quote, we chronicled the whole thing, right, which
was awesome. And that's what we're doing with
this YouTube channel. I mean, it was literally let's
find a let's find a plot of dirt.
Let's take the energy, let's take the passion, let's take the
knowledge and let's roll. And like there's no brass door
knobs on or no beautiful marble counter yet.
Like this is sleeves rolled up. We just got past the demo stage.
We're pouring some concrete. So to me, this is the early,
early stage and I think that that's awesome.
Let me get this guy popped there.
I did see that. Thank you, Robert.
Abt. The Herm Edwards story was
great. Will you be telling more stories
like that? Yeah.
Yo. Yeah, Yeah.
Had me laughing. Thank you, buddy.
Yes, I will be if you missed that story.
All right, buddy. Hey, get ready for your
basketball game tonight. Let's go.
I wanna see 20 points tonight. I think that part of the the
great thing about this, the freedom to do whatever I want
and I just morphed into a story about Herm Edwards yesterday
from 2004 and I'm not going to go through it again.
I don't have time. I got to take a shower and get
out to Queens, as I said, and interview Rick and do the TV
show for this week on on MSG. But it was hysterical, man.
It was. I got some wild stories for you.
I got a story. I got to find out how I fit this
in. Might have to do a little Knicks
tomorrow because the Knicks have a cat problem.
I can't even get into that now. Nick's got a problem.
Nick's going to have to figure something out because this crew
was winning nothing. I mean they're going to win
nothing. They got to make a trade and
that's kind of flipping. I I, I'm not flip flopping.
I'm just re evaluating. Yes, because I did say that I
wanted to give this team a chance to win the championship
for one year. This team's not going to win
anything and it's not even worth to me at this point trying to
they are not good enough. And Karl Anthony Towns is on my
last nerve. And I was right about Karl
Anthony towns and many of you had issues with that.
Oh, you're too hard on Kat. Kat is soft.
Cat is slow, Cat is sloppy and cat can never be the second best
player on the championship team. And again, we're going to do
this more tomorrow. But even the wings got a storm.
Like, you know, it's funny. All right, Brunson got hurt.
You talk about the ankle, which sucks and and cat gets most of
the heat right and rightfully so.
Mike Brown getting some shots here and there.
How about the wings who are making a lot of money, start
doing their job? I mean, bridges, OG, and I love
OG less Bridges, but those guys should not escape the criticism.
So I think tomorrow is going to be a big Nick day.
But I think maybe to my point, maybe tomorrow will be the day
that I tell you one of those Isaiah Thomas stories.
Good job, bud. I'll see you later, man.
It was. It was about Stefan Marbury,
about Isaiah Thomas. Oh, my God.
Here we go. Yeah.
I mean, cat, ain't it? You're absolutely right at Mike
Mikeiano. He's not it.
He wasn't it.
He's never going to be it and that's the bottom line.
I mean, you can thank you, Mike. You guys can hold out hope that
he's eventually going to figure it out.
He's not. Let me spare you the suspense.
When you're that deep into your career, you are who you are.
If you're a poor defender, not changing, maybe if you're a bad
shooter, I do think that that can change a little bit as you
get older, like things slow down, close out speed, a little
mechanical tweak here and there. But I'm not saying Carl Anthony
Towns didn't do anything. Well, he he does, but what he
does poorly is destroying the New York Knicks.
They will not win anything with him.
So but that's more tomorrow. All right, I've got to go to
Queens do that. So if something breaks for
Tucker, it's going to be hard to fire up a live right away.
If something breaks tonight with Tucker or belly or anything
Peralta, whatever any I mean Yanks met anytime we'll do
something. Let's go.
I mean, Ryan Weathers here, This is going to be, I think, a big
book this big week. Now, it doesn't mean you're
going to get the answer that you want.
We're going to get answers this week.
We will find out very soon. You know what these teams are
going to look like going into the 2026 season.
Tonight my son's got a basketball game.
So if that happens while I'm in the stands, that's always more
important than any for both my kids.
Anything else that might happen. But if it does break when I come
home, boom, we fire this up, we react.
So in summation, and absolutely fantastic, I did the first 30
minutes on the Giant. So if you just tuned in
wondering why there's no Giant talk, that's what I started
with, obviously. And just to reiterate, because
it's worth reiterating, phenomenal job by the Giants.
Not good, not really good. I think it was fantastic because
the Giants were able to push all the baggage aside and they
remembered how to be a first rate franchise with the private
jets and the personalization and John Mara and Chris Mara and
Tish and Coughlin and Eli and Dabel, who I give immense credit
to for having that kind of a cat, that kind of character
after you get fired, to speak that glowingly about the team
and the organization that fired you.
Like the Giants just morphed together.
They just came together. There was great synergy and that
has been sorely missing and abundantly absent for the
Giants. So, you know, am I going to say
the Big Blue is back in terms of being a champion?
No, because I think the John Horrible's a really good coach.
Blow some leads as well like you don't like the Giants did this
year. But he is a tremendous upgrade.
He is a really good coach. He is a leader of men.
And once those I's are dotted and that contract is wrapped up
and the Giants come correct with the budget for his staff, which
they already did because he wouldn't be taking the job if
they didn't would what whatever power he wants, whether he can
work with Shane. Everything that the Giants had
to do, they did well. So I'm really happy for the
Giant fans. It's been too long.
This football's been shit, it's been awful.
It's just been unwatchable. Some days have been depressing.
They've been without any sort of joy or intrigue.
And at least from big Blues perspective, that's about to
change in a big way. So Congrats to the Giants.
Hopefully you guys enjoyed the stuff on Dante Moore.
We'll do a Little Mix tomorrow, a little more hot stove tomorrow
and and that's it. I got to roll, got to hop in the
shower, get out the queen. So thank you guys.
Please like it, subscribe it, hype it up if you want to, if
you even know what that means, spread the word.
The more we get in to the BTL Leash community, the more we can
do OK. The more that we can do, the
more we will build this out the way this deserves to be built
out. So have a fantastic what is it
Thursday. I don't even know what date is.
How about not know what date is? I mean it's one thing to not
know the actual date. It is Thursday which I never
know anymore. Like I feel like when I was
young, I always knew the day meaning, meaning to date.
It's like it's May 5th, June 20th, April 13th.
Like that for me has become, I don't know why I just really
don't know the dates anymore, but I always know what day it
is. For a second I didn't even know
if it was Wednesday or Thursday. Good God Almighty, that's when
you know it's time to say peace. All right, I'll see you guys
tomorrow. Have a great, great Thursday and
I'll see you tomorrow at 10 unless we get some breaking
news. Peace out, be good.
