PMS 2.0 1609 - OVERREACTION MONDAY, Adam Schefter, Dan Orlovsky, Tyrese Haliburton, Darius Butler, & AJ Hawk

Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble about the draft games thunderdown on this over-reaction Monday August 24 2026 this sports program begins now It's the absolute greatest and we obviously have a plethora of pre-season action to kind of respond to react to and obviously Figure out whether or not our teams are gonna win the Lambert because of how they played in August now There's a lot of questions. Obviously. There's an arrest of an owner in Ohio. There's a new starter in Ohio and we got some college players Don't back it or NFL players going back to playing college So the state of football I would say is alive I would say there is certainly so many things that we could dive into that I don't know if today's two three-hour program will be enough It does feel like we are all the way back in football season. I saw some high school highlights I heard some college stories kicking off wind him Clark wins a golf tournament and then you start thinking to yourself well next weekend This upcoming one is the last golf tournament of the year.

Good young man Well, yeah, Luke Bryan obviously country music superstar. He noted dancer. Okay, he's got the he-ups He's got a lot of energy, a lot of gyration. He's boy got those athletic hips as well, and a laser rocket for an arm He goes absolutely insane three hundred seventy five yards and three touchdowns. Now there's gonna be a lot of people wondering who the hell He was playing against because there's a couple plays where there's a lot of yaks. For instance this one. Yeah, it looks like nobody's even attempted Uh-huh 18 gets turned around obviously. There's a little bit of yaks. Who cares? That's not on bones fall to whatever. Who's he playing against?

Take the lead place goes crazy. What a catch I mean just a left-handed snag also quarterback rolling to his left. We go back to the beginning Yeah rolling that rolling to his left here the the two people on the call fantastic not as good as the people were about to show But quarterback rolling to his left crossbody, huh, click on the risk what a ball and then you do a replay slow motion on that as Channel 14 50 dot com caught this He made the catch.

He certainly is what a catch. We're in this now. Let's go to some high school football commentary Shall we you know whatever you're on the call for a high school football game? You're potentially calling the future you're potentially calling Future Hall of Famers you you have no idea what's gonna happen and when you're up there you get a better view on things And maybe others and you know ball better than anybody Rupert from the pocket Rupert is going to throw a pass intended forward. That was P.I. Stavy one or three one flag and Ray Charles through the other And the final verdict is gonna be pass interference and That one was obvious said anyone could call that one L.D. Edgman was the one on the call down there in Dalton, Georgia So that made its way into the elbow when you've seen this stuff. It's like all right We're in season all we are is one first time away from a wip your ref kind of doing his thing No, I'll divine junior. I don't know if you guys have seen him He's freshman high school. I got a chance to be teammates with no divine senior his high school highlights are up there with Anybody looks like his freshman boy first time he touches the rock and my eyes takes it to the crib He looks exactly like no well the way he's carrying the ball the way he's running and if that's because got another problem down there in Florida Oh, yeah, I love that obviously a lot of Florida high school football shout out Cypress Bay my younger brother is DC down there And hit coach Joe strongly I'm not sure where knows from I know he's from Florida. I'm not sure where but I this is North for okay Yeah, that's our deans from that's all stomping around. Yeah, it's a great play. And we are getting old no divine genius. Yeah Jesus. Yeah, wait till you see what he does to your brother's team. No, yeah Yeah, I mean he gets his ball and he's gone. Yeah, he's an absolute duck shot that high school football Getting us back into this thing. Okay, there's some news around the NFL world and owner got arrested in Ohio Okay, that seemingly got figured out though Mm-hmm. I think there is one more day in jail. It's potentially code if if what we're reading is right I know eleven hundred bucks and a heart sixty dollars being donated towards Owner yeah, yeah, you know how owner for San Francisco 49ers, which are actually in San Clara from Ohio originally one back home Yep seems like makes it up. Yeah, but lonely Oh, no, that is what I don't see decisions obviously. We don't want that. Yeah, you're I think if what I'm reading is right There's one more day that needs to be done. Who knows when I'll take place? Okay, let's move off of the owner Getting arrested in Ohio. Let's move to a starting quarterback being named in Ohio You know, there's only a couple quarterback battles still looming out there after Kyler got named starter over JJ Obviously, that was a big talking point And it's like well, who's gonna be the starting quarterbacks in Atlanta? Who's gonna be starting quarterbacks in Cleveland won Cleveland? Now it's this morning show wants. Okay, the rest of Sean I'm sure it's very loud weekend obviously to Sean after Playing in a preseason game what she did not play great preseason football It's gonna go one way or another. He was seen fixing his earring day, which we assume he got from players Sure, no, nice place. That's the screwing screw back I mean the chain. Yeah, the bracelet that was on so nice the watch I assume impeccable nice so it was it was hard to hear what was coming out of his mouth because how distracted you were with the ice But a lot of people heard what he said somehow and when he was talking about being booed and feeling like it was a personal thing from the fans It was certainly received in a certain way by the internet and by the Cleveland fans Everybody on the internet was basically saying hey, shut up. How about that? How about you to say I'm lucky as hell to be here You see these earrings. You see his necklace. You see his watch. You see his bracelet. You see his job You see that everything I'm lucky as hell to be here. I'm thankful to be here That's where everybody wanted to hear from the Sean Watson. He did not say that He said that if he was a little personal whenever they're booing him and Cleveland Brown's fans have been known to boo their quarterbacks I mean that is something if her team's asked and he come from a hardworking city and you're not performing up to the task They're going to boo your ass. They're gonna let you know now a lot of people say that's not the right way to be a fan And I think a lot of the players would say that's not the right way to be a fan I think a lot of coaches would say that's not the right way to be a fan But people for Cleveland say we don't give it to this is how we are as fans and we don't win here Our team actually got up in the left and then we continued it by noting we continued to lose so if you're asked we who paid for this Waste of a ticket to when you guys do it are allowed to boo your ass now The players have all through many different generations have come out and said like yeah, this place is Preskusting way to boo us. Okay, I got hurt they boo you're playing through injuries They boo you I mean that's just the way it is especially if you're not gonna win the Sean Watson most recent guy if he plays good football For the Cleveland Browns. I think they will rally around them. Yeah, I think they will obviously go crazy for I think they will cheer for him I think they will cheer for the Cleveland Browns with him as it's starting quarterback But if this starts out slow and I watch Dana Loskey and Kevin Clark's ankles pick out the entire time to schedule For Cleveland Brown. Yeah, and it was just the first time we've seen a team go up on that wall where they put everybody Every 12 and 5 13 and 4 11 and 6 that they put up their Cleveland Browns Lost us us us us us us us us one in 12. I think at one point we stopped watching other beat the jets so the jet should even more upset if he goes out there and that happens they will boo but it's over anyway It's about to be over anyways. There's a poison pill that they can get out of the contract before next March something before another certain amount of millions are all guaranteed so do you but i just kind of want to get your take on this i i will say why i think it is the way it is nobody is rooting for dish on what's gonna have success i think that is accurate specially outside of the cleven browns uh. fanbase because of the perceived nature of everything it took place and then him getting the largest guarantee contract of all time within like a week of each other okay that was like a week of each other everybody goes this guy what how is this what real life is so anytime they see him uh. not do well they say exactly and i think it's gonna be like that forever now i do think he can win over the cleven fanbase if it wins if you play good football and you win i think you can win over a fanbase i thought it was evident he was going to be the starting quarterback because once again two hundred thirty million dollars guaranteed if you can stand on a field he's going to be the starting quarterback but how do you see it going if he doesn't win he's going to get pulled she doors probably gonna play or whatever quarterback they think is the number two quarterback goes in and if they don't have success browns fans are still gonna build but it's just a different story yeah i mean nature the profession if he does win if the browns are good the fans will be happy we've seen players we've seen quarterbacks we've seen in different sports but definitely in football who have done some bad things or been accused of doing bad things off the field and once they get back on the field and they're good they went back over at least that fanbase there always be a large group of people that i hate to shine Watson and in regards to what happens with them but um i'm kind of with you with the two hundred thirty minute guaranteed and whatever they own this year and what's on the books like yeah if he if Shadour didn't go out there and just completely blow him out of competition blowing out of water throughout training camp of preseason it was going to be his job it is now how tight is that leash per se is it the first four games if they're one in three they pull them they go to Shadour they got a few first round picks next year so they can make a big change there and we say it's going to be a great talented quarterback uh you know heavy uh draft next season so a little seed but yeah shine wanted job i'm interested see it's so much we don't know like we don't know how the locker room feels about it we don't know how all the training can't practice his meetings and everything went um but top munkin is is hitching his wagon to him too this is his first opportunity with a head coach been in NFL and he named him the starter so now they go four or four at the helm yeah i like the fact that Todd munkin is going to be tied to the shine Watson out for his era here in Cleveland i like the fact that it feels like Todd munkin did want to give Shadour a chance and i think Shadour felt if you listen to him talk and uh through any interview i think you felt like it wasn't fair competition so this would say it sounds like you're saying Todd munkin believes that the shine Watson is the right quarterback for them to win games as opposed to just he is also worth $230 million guaranteed to the owner who just hired me to be a head coach so we should try to get something out of him boy what do you it's kind of weird it's weird because we all know it's it's football but it's the football business so when the money is tied to a player regardless of position you're going to want that player to play if you're in that building if you're you know if the top sign of those checks but at the same time regardless of what you think about Shadour as a player he is no doubt the more popular player he's going to be he's going to be more Shadour jerseys in the stands then there will be Watson jerseys i would assume so yeah from that side and let's see those out and has an MVP and yeah and even outside of Cleveland Brownfinne like Shadour is one of those players who like you know people people like him people hate him he's very polarizing in the in the sense but uh so that's kind of the odd part and once again we know Tom Monkey and he wanted him in Baltimore they did all the things in the offseason so I kind of thought Shadour maybe had to leg up but the money that $230 or $5060 however much he's making this year next year um played a part in but yeah Tom Monkey made this decision you would assume and we it sounded like ownership was going to let him actually make this decision as opposed to hey we paid this guy he's going to play um so we'll see how it all plays out it's the brown so I mean we'll see yeah yeah I uh the the QBR that Dishon Watson has had over his time period with the Cleveland Browns has been like second worst in in all of yeah yeah he he's played terribly as quarterback for the Cleveland Browns is it who's around them or is it him is it the Cleveland Browns just our ass you know it's like all those questions going into it but we do know that I think there's a some sort of move that the clear yeah that's been bad yeah sound there's been good that's why nobody's going to care like somebody should tell Dishon Watson somebody should tell him like hey man they're going to boo your ass strictly because of this part of it okay just strictly because of this if people that don't even watch football they see this are going to boo you no matter how good you are at your job yeah if you're made if you're if you're getting paid a lot of money there's going to be people that hate your guts even if you come from nothing there's going to be people that hate your guts naturally because of that let alone everything else that comes alongside of it so Dishon just needs to worry about winnest football games now joining us live from a car I do believe is senior NFL insider for ESPN Michigan man who might know a little bit more on the behind the scenes on how we got here Adam Schaeft here hey Schaeft what's going on Schaeft you know what's going on God you look great where you go you head into the gym coming back from the gym about to go buy a gym what he got going on you headed to Bristol Connecticut for two days of the fancy football marathon I went there right now and it's been nice quiet morning oh yeah nice quiet morning starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns has been named Dishon Watson there was an original thought by me on this particular program as soon as I heard that there was competition between storm Dishon and this was him coming back from recovery obviously of the ACO I say if Dishon Watson can stand up and take a snap on a football field they're going to put them on there because 230 million Deba made up a great point or made a great point as I agree with him it felt like Monkin was given the free reign to pick whoever he thinks is best for his team as opposed to just who's getting paid the most amount of money and what point do you think he figured out the Sean Watson was a starting quarterback and how did we get here if you will Schaeft he well I think there are a few things to factor into this quarterback decision that the Browns then with the Sean Watson is they're starting quarterback I think we've been on this show I know I've talked about it before or maybe with tie on the podcast but it has always felt like it was trending towards Dishon Watson as a veteran with two games on the road to start the season Jacksonville ampah. Now again even with Saturday's events where Dishon Watson did not play well where he talked about how the fans were disrespectful he didn't appreciate the booze and his post game press conference which recently did not play over well anywhere you have a situation where basically it always felt like it was trending towards the veteran and when they name Dishon Watson as the starting quarterback they name him for now I think that's the key point to raise here is Dishon Watson going to wind up starting more games than Shadour Sanders this season I'm skeptical of that it's up to him and how he performs in the first two games if he plays well the first two weeks the road he'll continue to be the quarterback if not I believe there's a realistic chance that for their home opener Shadour Sanders and the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns that'll be up to Dishon and how he plays in the first two games of the season beyond that we talk about the money involved you're married to Dishon Watson for better or worse they don't have a choice the money in my mind is cemented the fact that he's going to be there now and I would best next year if they had released him today they would have had to eat 41 million against the this year and taking a debt at next year of 86.21 million dollars one of the largest debt it's in the history of the NFL so they're stuck with Dishon Watson this is a good product of restructuring his contract over and over taking a bad contract and complicating it so you have all those factors going on that play into this in the end Todd Monkin felt like a veteran on the road is this team's best chance to have a successful start will she whether that's right but I feel like they felt like they're paying the guy to money he's a veteran he's looked pretty good this summer and we're going to give him the gate and go from there okay he's look pretty good I mean he's going to say yeah the numbers ain't bad but he's look pretty good yeah that one day in practice seven touchdowns he's getting into pain okay so we're just obviously mocking the Browns fans right now but if this ends up working we love the dog pound they know we've had their little elephant here I mean we like the Browns and the dog pound and the L.F. and everything they got going on but if Todd Monkin really thinks that Dishon Watson is his guy to win games that's why he made the decision I think and you could hear in his voice Todd Monkin's been yelling at everybody around yeah yeah so hopefully Dishon's able to have success inside that Todd Monkin offense and hopefully they're able to win some games and it's all gets quiet by then if that happens now if he is asked and Shador gets in there and let's say some apples are Shador and then he put Dylan Gabriel in and it becomes a whole entire situation there is a built-in poison pill says Spotract if he's on the roster next March 13th a $200 million salary guarantee kicks in this affords Cleveland the opportunity to designate him a post-61 release before March 13th which splits the remaining dead cap into two we saw this with the Russell Wilson situation over in Denver 34.6 in 2027 51.5 in 2028 which obviously we don't know what the salary caps are going to officially be for those years still a shit ton of money to not be able to have access to Denver Broncos were able to navigate it now they didn't win a Super Bowl but they were able to navigate and still have a winning team Sean Peyton was able to build it we'll see if this happens with Dishon Watson okay let's pivot away from Cleveland let's go to the opposite side of the country Well, I guess Ohio and San Francisco right now kind of tied together by one. Oh, true. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Let's go to the Niners. George Kiddell, he's playing, huh? George Kiddell is going to be on to playing and how abnormal is this from where we were maybe three or four months ago talking about George Kiddell. Well, let's go back to last week because they were in Los Angeles for a joint scrimmage with the chargers. And while they were there on Wednesday, George Kiddell got a chance to go meet with the surgeon who performed the surgery on his torn Achilles, Dr. Neil Ella Trush. And from what I understand, it was a great meeting. George Kiddell was ahead on all markers. He's going to great spot. This doesn't mean ultimately that he will play week one, but everything looks right now to be trending in the direction. He received a favorable report report from Dr. Ella Trush. The Niners officially debated him yesterday. So the fact that the doctor seems to have been good with where he's at right now, they've activated him and that game in Australia, I believe is two weeks from Thursday night in the United States. And George Kiddell is who he is. It feels like he's tracking the play. Now they could decide, you know what, didn't feel right in practice. We're not going to defend him the first week. We're going to give him an extra 10 days. But the way it's tracking right now makes it look like a distinct possibility that he's going to be on that field, that opening game against the Rams, which should be a very quick recovery from a tourniquet release. But right now, I think he's very pleased with where he's at, the doctors pleased with where he's at, and the Niners are pleased with where he's at. All right, let's stay with the doctor stuff. We are very scared this weekend that something absolutely catastrophic happened to one of the best backs in the game. Go ahead, Tom. Yeah, Shepty. Not good news coming out of Raiders camp, especially yesterday, it sounded very, very serious to injury to out running back Ashton Gentie. And then this morning, we got some news that maybe it's just an ankle injury. So the latest on there and is it the kind of best case scenario after what we thought could have potentially happened this weekend? I think Tom, that's exactly it. It is best case scenario. Now, again, as it was described to me, it's not nothing. It's definitely something still. And they'll have to see how much time he's going to miss. But the initial reports were he was helped off the field, put a new pressure on his leg, team gathered up in a hotel like all the things that you don't want to hear that would seem to indicate that something is severely wrong where play in this particular situation. And obviously, there's panic across social media, the Raiders, former hydrophobic people doing their seed grafts, they're in order to make of it. But in the end, I think the Raiders for a couple hours were holding their breath when he was going to meet with doctors. And the time he got done with those examinations, my understanding is it's a sprained ankle. I don't know if he's going to miss any time, I don't know if they know, if he's going to miss any time. They're waiting to see that. But it's certainly not a long-term injury that we know. >> Okay, that's great news. And not just fantasy football, people who we know you're heading to a fantasy football marathon over the next two days. Just fans of football, Ashton Gentile last year, what he was and what his career started looking like. We hope he is healthy. We hope he is able to, you know, maybe go with the best Raiders team they've had in a long, long ass time. There's still one quarterback competition looming. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Chefty, how do you think everything's going to end up playing out in Atlanta? We saw that Michael Pentex has been cleared to, you know, resume 11 on 11 activity. Two obviously hasn't been great. He's admitted that so far this preseason and Jack Strand is kind of, you know, every opportunity he's getting. He's kind of looked great. So, what is the plan in Atlanta right now? Was it still kind of wide open for potentially any three of those guys? >> Well, it's an interesting situation because obviously it felt like two ahead a real window and a real opportunity to kind of put away the starting job and opening day for Atlanta. And it feels like that hasn't necessarily happened yet. And in the interim, Michael Pentex now has been clear to participate for the first time since he injured his knee in 11 on 11 drills today will be his first day in 11 on 11. As we mentioned, the regular season for the Falcons is just over three weeks away. And it's a situation where it gives him time to begin to get acclimated. They can judge how healthy he is or isn't and figure out whether or not he's physically ready to play an opening day. But two hasn't run away with that competition. It's been an uneven summer for him so far. And Jack Strand has been very impressive so far, but it's hard to imagine that Jack Strand is going to be the Falcons opening day starting. >> Okay, it is hard to imagine, okay, I understand, I was there watching this guy. Okay, first of all, I didn't hold on, Chef, they please. You don't know anything. I was boots on the ground here. I don't need to hear your thoughts on Jack Strand, okay? I just saw the guy cook the Indianapolis quotes. First of all, had no idea Cooper Kush was starting for the Atlanta Falcons. No, that was a problem. As soon as I walked into the stadium and saw a Kush lined up, then this monster gets in six foot five, 240 pounds. His scores here, he spikes this ball, it goes right into our suite. Okay, the next person to touch that football is my daughter McKenzie, she walks over, picks that ball out of our suite, gives it to ball guy back on that side. This they demolished, I mean they rushed the Indianapolis quotes. This guy though, huge, six, five, two, 40, undrafted, wants a Minnesota state more head. I'm not talking about more head state university. I'm talking about Minnesota state, more head M-O-O-R-H-E-A-D. He was fourth in the high, he's been voting for D-2, how's that happen? I don't know. He's top ten in passing all the time, has 126 touchdown passes to his name. I guess there was a bunch of D-1 schools that wanted him to transfer. He said, no, I'm not that man. His father was a pastor, he had a 3-8-7 GPA in engineering physics. What? This guy was going to go to NASA. Smart man. We got another pastor not here. I mean, let's not put it past, that man who I was spiked to ball into my daughter, okay? And Lucas Earl Stadium, maybe getting the gig. But back to your point, not reality, Jack Strand is going to be the starter for them. Is that what you're saying? Michael Pennick seems like probably on track to be able to do so or two, looking to figure it out. I think the moral of that whole story is that Mackenzie Mackity has a nose for the football. That's right. Yeah, I think that's a hundred percent right. I think that's a hundred percent right. I think she didn't expect how heavy the duke to be though. She wanted to pick up the duke and that thing just fell right through her hands. I said, ball scooters, job scooters, pick that thing back up, hands it to the lad from Atlanta. It was an ass beating by the Falcons, I must say. But it was great to be back in Lucas Earl Stadium, felt real football was happening. Okay. So really, no clarity on that one instead. Jack Strand and Cooper Kush might make that a real problem. I've seen them lead the Falcons with the Fanski. They beat the shit out of the team that they played with my own eyes. What is Strand? I mean Strand deserves a lot. If you Matt Ryan's guy, you can't put it past Matt Ryan to say I got somebody. Matt Ryan and this guy looking out at him and he going, hey, I'm an astronaut, they said you're an astronaut. I'm an actual one. I can move. They said you can move. Let's go. I could be a younger version of you. They wanted me to leave. I said, no, I'm loyal to the lads. Where did you go? Minnesota stayed more until I died. You know it. Okay. All right. Sweet. Come in. And he slices the Indianapolis quotes. Come in. That's a question for you, Chef. Yeah, Chef. We've had a lot of injuries in camp. We're kind of getting to that time where, you know, teams are starting to form their 53. Which ones do you think are going to be the most active? The junior to your senior on Friday said, hey, maybe the Texans take a peak at Brandon I. Youke with the injury they had at White receiver to Jaden Higgins. What teams for you are going to be probably making the most calls over these next couple weeks? Okay. First of all, I think they're all making calls. I mean, that's, that's the nature of the job right now and these teams, what they're doing. Well, when you bring up Brandon I. Youke, he is not tied to reinstatement so far. So nothing can happen with Brandon I. Youke unless he lies for reinstatement, which we're on August 24th here, and he hasn't done that. So camp has been open for a month, close to a month. And Brandon I. I. I. He's been on the sideline. And honestly, you hope he's okay. Nobody exactly knows what's going on with him right now. But football, until he applies for reinstatement, wouldn't be in the cards. So I don't know that he's an option for anybody right now. That's for some reason the notable free agents. Tyria Kill is expected to play this off season. We know that certain teams, you know, have lots of depth at certain spots like the Patriots, a very deep and wide receiver, right? So Casey on booties out there. The Niners actually believe it or not, you know, have some depth to wide receiver with some of the veterans, even with all the injuries they've had. So I think every team is going through the list. The Ravens are deep at the cornerback position. The Jets believe they're not have some depth at certain spots. I'm talking to the team that has extra running, you know, at the point is all these teams have certain, it's where they're deeper than others and teams are lighter than others. It's going to be an active period at this time with, you know, last night you see the Saints trade linebacker, Dion Jones, through the Niners for running bags in mirror white, the kind of thing that goes on at this time of the year where teams have certain needs, you know, the bottom of the roster, Drey Greenlaw heard his hamstring last week. The Niners are light at line breaker. Dion Jones may not make the Saints roster, so they trade him. The Niners have extra running bags, the Saints head out of the Camara dealing with a MCL spring. that'll sideline him about a month. So they go and trade for a veteran and they'll be running back. And to be right, who would have tough time making the Niners roster? That's the kind of thing you see at this time of the year. - Okay, Dan Orlovsky, just sweetie, who we'll talk to here in a matter of a moment, says he's on the highway to Bristol as well, I think. He said, hey, why not Atlanta trade for Stetson Bennett? Bring that dog back to Georgia and have him run wild for Atlanta. - Okay, Dan. - You know, maybe a late round pick. Stetson, hey. - Holy shit. - Holy, yeah, you look like Matthew Staffordini. I mean, Mattie Stafford's given the interview and then Stetson's doing his best impression. I'm right up there. Two Georgia Bulldogs doing their thing for the Los Angeles Rams. He looked comfortable after the game. He gave a speech to Locker and the boys love him. Seems like he's been through everything he needs to be through to become a true pro. Sean McPhase often, seemingly can make a lot of people look good. Okay, time Simpson, look very good. Now he got Stetson Bennett balling. Kevin Stafansky, they still got big question marks. If it's not Jack Strayon. - Yeah, yeah. Maybe pull the trigger on a Stetson Bennett trade. What do you think about the dog going back home to the world of the pines? - Well, I think the round's the time to decide right now. Who's going to be their number two quarterback? Whether that's Stetson Bennett or Ty Simpson. Matthew Stafford's had a great summer. Feels better physically than he did last summer. At this time, when everybody was wondering how his back was fairing and he wound up putting the NFL MVP and the round grew to window where like, even if you're going to spread Stetson Bennett now. Are you getting Stetson on your team? Or getting some late round draft back? And that's what they have to figure out here in the final two weeks before the final roster cut down day and on Sunday, August 30th. So if they feel like Bennett has any value to the team, let me think that they'd want to hold on to. But if they feel like Ty Simpson's ready to be QB2 right now and be that responsible and they've entered anything, she hasn't been to Stafford, then they go on globally. You know, interesting. Which I'm going to earn that they are. I think the Republicans, enough quarterbacks right now, they're just trying to figure out their own situation. They certainly do Cooper Custer. Don't let him start knocking down the door. Last question here about Ty Simpson. And, you know, the Rams and Orlovsky, well, that leads to one other guy. Go ahead, deep down. He's talking about the number one overall pick Fernando Mendoza. It's been some bright spots in the preseason. I'll see some bad spots as well. He's young, it's going to happen. But what's going on over there? I know kind of we all assume Kirk Cousins going to start as the vet. I've kind of been on that train, Fernando Mendoza. I expect to see him week one as the starter. Where do you stand right now? What you know with who's going to be trotting out is that week one starter for the Raiders. Look, we all know that Fernando Mendoza's time is coming. And the question is when. And I can just say that despite the fact that Mendoza has looked good and camped and been what they wanted and won the supporters team and the teammates to love him and the kind of he is and the kind of leader he is, their plan and plans change. But their plan is to start Kirk Cousins in week one against the Miami Baltham, so their plan is to keep Kirk Cousins in there, especially during the only difficult part of the schedule. If you look at their schedule early in the season, it's challenging. And I think that they'd like to have Cousins put there to get there as many games as he can. And I think part of this is really on Kirk Cousins. If Kirk Cousins plays well, just like to draw Watson and Cleveland. If he plays well and they win some games, they'll keep rolling with him. If he's not playing well, and they're not winning games and he's struggling to win all these calls and questions will come up as to when we'll see the number one overall pick in the draft for Nando Mendoza. But in a perfect world, the Raiders, they want Cousins out there on opening day. And they'd like him out there for as much of the season as they can and we'll see how long that turns out to be. - You're the man, ladies and gentlemen. Headed to a fantasy football marathon. Who's number one overall pick, man? - Who's? - Jameer Gibbs, I think, Jameer Gibbs. - Yeah, that'd be John. - So running back is the thing that's always been, right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotta go running back to the two guys. Those are one, two. - Okay, those are one, two. And don't take a lot of time. - We still puked Jamar right there after them, but like, you know, 32 starting running backs where some teams, you know, you got two guys, three guys, per team you can use. - Okay. - You know, like Puk is a great top pick, but they also have to vauntry that you can get a couple rounds later. - All right, Chefty, good luck. I hope you get the best team ever and maybe have the best season yet. - Hey, Jameer, it's Adam Schaefter. - Hey, Chefty. - So you didn't really say anything. - No, no, I'm not. (laughing) - 'Cause his tweet says head coach, Clint Cubiac is not ready to name a starting quarterback. Okay? For the regular season, despite sitting Kirk Cousins and having a real Fernando start in Thursday, without the starting offensive line, so Clint Cubiac just said, "Do I have to say who's starter?" No, all right, I don't think. How about that? How about I say, whenever I say it? Is that what you think? - Yeah, Richard Rodriguez said, "Our name is starting quarterback at 11.59, kickoff and noon. "I'll see you then," or whatever the case. Joining us now is a guy who might know why or how this is all coming about. I'm sure he's taking some victory lap still. - Oh, yeah. - For whatever. - I'm sure that you name it. - Something he did. He still has a sweet tan from the incredible vacations he's told me. - Yes, this morning. - He was a little worked up, ladies and gentlemen, on a highway to Bristol, different car, though. I'm not riding with him. Ooh, ladies and gentlemen, Dan Lovsky. - Dan Lovsky. - Dan Lovsky. - Dan Lovsky. - Dan Lovsky. - Stop, Dan. - You said it. - You said it. - How are you going? - Different car and chapter you said. I'm not getting in that car. So what you said. - I never said that. I'd love to ride a car with Shepty. I would mean that I matter more. I think he came from a different origin point than I did, so. - Well, I mean, we can get into that story another day, I guess. If we really wanted to, I don't know. If now is the time. Okay, let's start talking about Ball. We were just talking about Fernando there in Kirk Cousins. Clint Kubiak comes out and says he's not naming a starter. Shepty said he assumes this is Kirk's deal. If Kirk plays well, they'll continue. If not, Fernando will get in there. And then obviously it ties back to Cleveland as well with the Sean getting the start. And then how long is he a starter who knows? Kind of what these two decisions that are being made. Do you think this is? Let's let the veteran in there. They've obviously seen more. They've been a part of more. Let's just get the season started and see where we go. Or why do you think they're being made at this exact time, Dano? - With the Raiders, we have to remember Clint Kubiak has spent all of his life attached to the NFL and grew up with his father as one of like, they're really, really good head coaches. And in many ways, they can old school coach. I don't think that this is really a, we're still deciding on starting quarterback in Las Vegas. I think it's just a, I'm the new head coach in Las Vegas. It's a little bit of the peak carol. Everything's going to be a competition. No one's going to get a declared job at any point up until it's needed. And so I think he's just keeping everybody on edge and on their toes of like, yeah, everyone's going to go earn their job. Kirk Cousins, Fernando Mendoza, Brock Bowers, Max Crosby. We all know, but there's a clear, this is going to be an organization that's turning over a new leaf. I've been adamant, there's nothing really that Fernando could endure would do that would get in me to start. And we, I think Kirk Cousins is more capable of running the totality of this playbook. We talked about that last week. Yeah, when we say you grew up and he was born in eight, you know, he does that entire thing. The road, the Bristol is always tough. Oh yeah, what's going on? I don't know, what is it? Service things in Connecticut last couple of times we've been out there. It's been this far off. And that weren't like so many media places exist massive satellites. Why is it so ass? I don't think I understand the technology. I don't get it. I don't like it. I don't get it. I don't like it one bed either. And they talk to us about being like out in the sticks and stuff like that. It's like, you guys live in the epicenter of all the shit and you don't have anything. So what are we even talking about? Ladies and gentlemen, joining us back on the road to Bristol, Dan Arlovsky. Dan Arlov, Dan. Listen out here in Indiana. Once more, you're going to run into some spots without any service, you know? Because that's out here in the Boondocks. We get quiet, you know, we get great views. We get a little, you know, birds tripping in a moan. We get that moan and do a little bit of shit. And that's in his song. Hey, something to think about. Ian's got shit in Connecticut. Yeah, I think that's not a bad idea to kind of do that. But safe travels. Let's get back to this though. You were going to say I said something back in the day and then it cut off completely. Yeah, I like, there's not much that Fernando could end or would do to get me to make him the day one and start in quarterback one, because I don't think he's capable of running the totality of the playbook. Part of the reason why you hire Clint Kubak is because you liked the way that he designs and calls plays. We talked about this last week. So, you know, Fernando sets are really good moments, but there's been moments where you're like, yeah, we're not there yet. And I'm not going to rush that. And also this offensive line. This offensive line, Linderbaum, knew really good player, Bolton Miller back at left tackle. But the right side is a young unit. So, we can't talk about the offensive line and say, man, Ashton Genti was the most hit running back behind the line of scrimmage in the NFL last year. I'm like, yeah, let's put the rookie quarterback out there that's learning a whole new style of play from the under center element. And so, I don't think it's that really like that much of a question mark is more of Clint kind of operating the way he wants to with this organization now and competition. Cleveland won for me. I've talked about it a lot this morning. I'm shocked if this was just a football decision, just football. And I haven't seen every day of practice. I would probably say coin flip 50, 50. Start the guy you want. Doesn't really like matter to me. After the Saturday's press conference, I'm shocked that they did this to the Cleveland fans. I've said, if I was a Cleveland fan, I fan in Dishon still starting week three, I would not go to the game because of the interaction that we saw. What? I've had a buddy text me saying, this is smart by the Browns, they'll go owe into Deshaun of struggle and all sudden Shadour gets named the starting quarterback for the week three game, which is their home opener and he's the hero. Bingo. Okay. That's there. You don't think that's what they were thinking when they did this? No. The NFL, we trying to win game time. Oh yeah, time on. Time on Ken. Yeah, we're talking. Yeah, and let's talk about something that I know would wouldn't go ahead. No, go ahead. I just like to hear the time longer that you know before I say what I'm about to say. I only know him as a coach, I've spent some time with him just because of games. I mean, he is a all ball all the time high level competitor, maniac. I don't know him as a guy, so I can't comment on him like that, but I don't think that he would sign up for that. Okay. So he did though. He announced him as the starting quarterback and said this. Monkan said he took into full body of work, ultimately felt like Deshaun gave us the best chance to move the ball score points. So I think Todd Monkan is saying, hey, I made the decision because I think this is best for our football team at football and I'm trying to win games. Todd just watched Deshaun watch to get boot, obviously in Cleveland Brown Stadium. He's been around the NFL forever. He saw Baker Mayfield get his ass boot, catch, got his ass boot. People get their ass boot and Cleveland on a regular basis. Todd doesn't want to be the next guy getting boot. No, no, no. Todd's guy trying to bring the cheers and the wrong. He's trying to win some games. I think that's what Todd is going to be trying to say and nobody's really going to listen to him. Nobody's going to listen to him. And the only thing that matters is if they play good football or not when Deshaun watch since their quarterback. That's literally the only thing that matters. And Todd's been there because and we talked about the business side of as far as putting the ass in seat, Shadour would easily be that guy, but he didn't he just shattered whatever record it was last year when it came to like murder. Jersey sells and all that stuff. So outside of actual football, I think it was easy. Shadour. I mean, like they said, we're not there every day. We don't see the practices, the meetings that walk through all that stuff. But you would assume Todd sees all that and then the locker room, you know, starting quarter X, most starting quarterbacks are captored. We'll see. Does he have the CPAC? That'll be a crazy thing. It's a lot of different things, but like you said, all that matters is the football plan that the, you know, the home opener and we're going to try out. I don't, I don't see that. I think Todd is making his decision based off who is giving his, his team the best opportunity to win games. Yeah. And speaking of the best opportunity to win games, they haven't done that a lot even in the last guy that did want to play off game for him. They boot his ass out of the city as well. Go ahead, Connor. And with the captain thing, just remember when James Winston was there, just Sean Watson wasn't the guy like rallying up the team and getting everyone going. That was James Winston, like that was known. Hey, James is kind of the almost leader, if you will, in the quarterback room when he was there with the Sean Watson. So I don't know. Maybe Watson's doing that now because James isn't there anymore, but that's how it was operating when he was. Man, if you go back to 2021, is that one that's all happened? 2022? When he got traded there? Yeah. 2022. 2022. I mean, just thinking about Baker Mayfield sitting there just want to play off game, okay? And then they give the biggest guaranteed contract to somebody who's never been here, who said he didn't want to play here. Remember, because Cleveland Browns were in the running, Panthers were in the running, Atlanta was in the running, the Saints were in the running, for who's going to trade for the Sean Watson. And he wanted to be a jet at one time, I think, they were kind of out of it. Then the Cleveland Browns publicly were kind of like, they're not going to be a part of this. Cleveland Browns are done. Deshondon, I like the cold, he doesn't want to go out there, so he's going to stay down here. That was an actual report. I think from Peter King or Albert Breer, I forget which one reported that. And then, you know, Baker gets kicked out of town. This guy gets torn in 30 minutes. Now they're still dealing with the long term effects of this entire deal. If he plays good football, nothing matters. If he doesn't, it's going to be really loud for the rest of the time. And Cleveland and for Deshond Watson. Now, let's talk about it getting a little loud again. It was December last year. And the head coach of the Chicago Bears said, we're winning in spite of our quarterback play right now. And we all saw that Chicago Bears going as crazy run. We saw Kayla make some insane plays and we just assumed Ben Johnson and Kayla were on the same page. Turns out, maybe they're not. Deba has a question for you. Yeah. Obviously, any time a head coach speaks, we're going to make a big deal of it. As we should. That's the face of the franchise. And he's made some comments about Kayla Williams coming off this last outing. We also know I'm a huge fan of Kayla Williams. I believe in the next jump he's going to take. What's your thoughts on Kayla Williams and the Ben Johnson relationship and that step that is going to be taken or that you expect to be taken this season? Yeah. I kind of, you know, kind of fell in love with that relationship last year in many ways just because watching the interaction post games so often felt like a genuine, like we're in this together thing. Yes, you are my coach, but like we're kind of in lockstep with this. I really enjoyed the post game comment from Ben Johnson in relation to a question on a throw that Kayla makes down the field to Loveland in the Reds and this one when he misses it. Debut, like for me, I'm kind of like all in on this because there's so much about this one play that I think is cool. Number one, what is open and open to me is different than open to Crazy Williams because of his talent. Number two, the situational football understanding and the strategy of when should we take a throw, when should we be aggressive. There's a difference between making the right choice and a good choice. You know, because Caleb takes the shot there and a couple things. One, it's first in 20 high red zone. Okay. So coach is probably calling a play to get a completion. Number two, there's a blitz off Caleb's right and a drop off his left. He's throwing two is right. Love that. And then the third thing is the defender that is going to kind of cover Loveland. He's the read. You see the running back bottom right corner wide open. And so the defender that's run the 11 or 12 yard line right now, that's the guy that Caleb is reading. If that defender stays shallow, we take the ball down field of that defender gets depth. We take the underneath throw. And so by all like X's and O's on paper football wise, the throw to goes to the running back. And that's kind of what Ben Johnson said, Ah, the ball probably should go to the back. But there's also part of me that sits there and says kind of make this throw. This throw was not supposed to be made in Caleb has the ability to make this particular throw. Yeah. Exactly. You don't want to take that stinger away from him because the reality is like if Caleb makes that throw first lower or Loveland kind of it's a touchdown and everyone's going sick, you know, and so, but that's like for me, this is like the sticking point this year with this group quarterback and coaches. You have this coach that is really a detail oriented and he's going to try to always get the best, always make the right choice, not a good choice, the right choice. And then you have this quarterback that sits there and probably is going, I could kind of make any choice the right one because I'm so talented. And that's going to be the push and pull this year between them. And I think that plays the perfect microcosm of it. Okay. So thank you for breaking that down. Thank you for explaining why it is. But this has been the question right since Ben Johnson became the head coach of the Chicago Bears. Ben Johnson could have been the head coach of anything literally even teams that had head coaches for a couple of years, we're like, is Ben Johnson available? Well, we will get rid of this guy. Yeah. For sure. If Ben Johnson's available, he seemingly picks the Chicago Bears and it's like, is it because Caleb's there's because what he likes about there is it because he's a bears fan. Why is it exactly? And a lot of people are like, well, because Caleb's talent. He's never been around anybody that has Caleb's talent. So he can execute the offense that golf is able to do plus add some Caleb stuff on top of that. Think about what they can become. And then last season, they have all this success and massive success in the world. And then Ben Johnson basically like, nah, this is all just kind of luck right now. We aren't even really doing it. So we're all expecting like you this year to be more of like that machine. Let's go ahead and do it. And then the first thing we hear is like, nope, this fucking guy's not doing it again. It's like, nah, Lee, all right. I would like to see them come, you know, I would like to see them be together because he could be. I mean, I love, I love that kind of, I guess edge about Ben Johnson. I feel like we do get at some level of transparency, which I always love from head coaches, especially when the guy's calling plays to and like, like Dan says, yes, that is the right read. That's the throw that all 32 quarterbacks can make the reason why you draft the guy number one, the reason why, you know, whatever his eyes are to win MVP this year is because of that throw. And I think that'll help going down the season, not even with him, but with Coulson, with loving like that coverage. I think that covers kind of, it's kind of blank you, but like, hey, either fade more out or that's where I'm, in fact, this, if that's the look we get, that's where I'm going to put that ball because love that is a good enough athlete to make this type of throw pieces. It's like a Brady grunt. Like, if they're running this or Kelsey in my homes and they get that look again, they're going to make that same play that same throw and it's going to be caught. So this is kind of what pre seasons for this, what practice is for you make them strong. You go to the coach, you get that coaching as well. Hey, that dump down was there. We could have gotten second and ten and then been back there. And Phil goes kind of in the back already in that position. So I like the throw, I like the decision also like Ben Johnson coming out and seeing what he said. Yeah. I hope we get to see Caleb, Caleb's, you know, I would like to see that because I remember when Johnny Manzell was with Cleveland Browns, who's the coach? Patton. Yeah, Mike Patton. Mike Patton. Johnny Manzell had his first good half that he had had his Cleveland Browns. First one, we maybe had positive yards, first one. And Patton was interviewed at halftime because our quarterbacks got to start doing a lot better inside the pocket. Make better decisions. I'm like, oh, this guy hates what Johnny Manzell did. He not know that Johnny, that's not what Johnny Manzell does. Now, granted, we've learned a lot about how Johnny was potentially operating as quarterback of the Cleveland Browns since then. And we obviously all appreciate what he's done for ball and everything like that. But I like a coach that likes their quarterback. I think Ben still likes Caleb. Yeah. I don't think the point where he doesn't like them. Totally. But I do love that he's like, hey, we are nowhere near where you need to be. And because that's when you get the real, you know, Tom Brady got his ass coached by Bill Belichick. every single day in it all. Maybe Caleb gets his mask. - You know the quarterback can handle it too. Or he should be able to handle it. I would assume he can handle it. Like yeah, he's not gonna have a problem. 'Cause some of these quarterbacks, if we can make it the diva tag, we don't have a problem with. 'Cause Ben John, that's who he is. That's who we've, since he's been, and we haven't really, we don't really know these coaches until they become a head coach. I feel like coordinators, they talk a little bit, but like head coaches, you hear them after practices, after games, you hear their style of communication. And we always talk about it. When that head coach is talking, he's talking to the media. He's talking to the fans. And he's talking to that locker room and whatever specific players he's talking about. So you gotta know the relationship with those actual players, and especially your quarterback as well. - I hope I hope to. - Well, we also have no two Ben Johnson is just always pissed. No matter what, it doesn't matter. He's gonna go up there after the game and just be rip shit about something that happened. - I saw him shirtless, he's free happy, you remember? - Yeah. - Yeah. - That was a free happy. Five, 10 minutes. Five, five, 10 minutes, there's happiness. And how about whenever they had him talk to the entire building? Just now that we know how pissed he really is. - Yes. - Yes. - Okay, I picked this place 'cause of all of you. I love being here. All you wanna do is go coach ball. That's why he was the ball for a long time. A lot of people are predicting the Bears. Take a step back. You know, they're gonna be able to get his lucky on the defensive side as well. I don't believe it. I believe in Ben Johnson, which makes me believe in Caleb, which makes me believe in the Chicago Bears. In Pittsburgh, they're starting to believe in some stuff in the future. Go ahead, Con, man. - Yeah, Dan, oh, the story of the preseason out of Pittsburgh really has kind of been drew out and it breaks my heart 'cause Will Howard just holds a special place in here. And also, I still believe he can be the guy. Basically was QB1 all off season till Roger's resign, but Drew Allers been unbelievable. And it feels like he might have been a steal for Pittsburgh. What have you seen out of him in Pittsburgh? Do you believe that he also could be the guy there? And what do you think Mike McCarthy's doing to make all these guys so much better? - Yeah. Aller wants to get really impressive. No, I think the playmaking has been something that probably was not as prevalent in his tape in Penn State. Obviously, the week one, he's got the all in the move, touchdown, and then this kind of broken play, not only the movement, but the point and then the ball down the field. You know, Will Howard throws two picks on some undercut routes that I would say doesn't see Carver's once and then kind of throws the wrong type of throw. But I think Mike McCarthy's just understanding this is a really talented player. And this player, if we give him a foundation that allows the talent to kind of shine, that's just start to show itself a little bit more. So we've talked about a little bit of the feet. I think feet give quarterbacks confidence in many ways. You know what I'm going to do? - Thank you, LA State, we're lost. - He's got a big hit. - He's talking about his feet give him confidence. - Can't believe you said Drew's going to be the best greatest quarterback of all time. - You guys were saying that this morning. - What was I? - I was just gonna hear this, let's talk with you. - Is that what you were saying? I didn't hear that conversation. - I said he's got his potential, yeah. I'm not going to get overacted for pieces. I just can't do it. I can't do it anymore. - Well, he made a great throw. They're rolled to the left thing. I don't know how he didn't get stripped. - JV7. - I don't know how he kept it in there. I don't know how he didn't get stripped, this guy right here, probably real game gets him. But nonetheless, drop sitting a bucket. First time, Pittsburgh Steelers, people getting real excited about Drew Aller. And it was hard. I have his best show. And everybody said, "Get this guy out of the tank!" - The two-minute drill. - He did good. - He's done good. Obviously he's been there for a while. But this Drew Aller thing could be a great experiment for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Mike McCarthy quarterback. - Yes. - And he said he'd get Coach McCarthy an opportunity to kind of mold a six-foot-five quarterback with a rocket arm. Air by all accounts has good brain, loves football. What can McCarthy do with him if we put him in a developmental plan? And then the first videos we see of him out of OTA is literally McCarthy just kind of working there, standing right behind him, them doing the most mundane drills. We try to reach out to our source. - Yes. - And ask how that's going. And we get told, what do you, I haven't even looked at the ball to be honest with you. I go, what do you mean? What is this? Why is everybody talking about this? You go, we're just working on a feet right. We'll get to the ball. I mean, we know we're near talking about the ball right now. Okay, we are at the feet, we're going to work to the knees next. I mean, that is, so I think McCarthy, to Daniel Lovsky's point, they did just work. Okay, let's get your foot work here. Let's get your feet right. And then we'll move up to everything else. 'Cause I saw one throw from the OTA's come out. I think Aller looked like he even launched it or it was an ugly throw. I forget, it was one of the other. And I mentioned I was like, looking really good or looking absolutely ass. And the response was, don't care what the ball looks like. We're worried about the feet. Let's just figure out the feet and then we'll be able to get going. Drew Aller, incredible athlete is what everybody says for how big he is. So if you get him some fundamentals and some coaching, he feels like he could learn relatively quickly. And if he's able to get his base under him, by all accounts, his accuracy would be better, strength would be better. And if he can learn defense, it's like, is Drew Aller the prospect going to arrive much sooner than we thought strictly because of what he's able to learn how quickly he is. - I don't know, you just said a lot of learning, a lot of building, a lot of doing that at this level. It's tough. - He's got time. - Now if you're talking about a guy like Josh Allen or-- - He's got Aaron Rodd. - But that is what you're gonna do. - But that is what, I mean, his junior year, we were talking about him going, you know, anywhere from like, first over all the tent. Like he was, he was a bonafide this guy is gonna be a first round pick, you know? So he's obviously got the raw athleticism, the intangibles, but maybe that is what he needed. Maybe he just needed, you know, QB whisperer to be like, hey, you actually don't know what the fuck you're doing out here and we kind of need to rebuild everything from the ground up and it looks kind of like that's what they're doing. - Mason did say he's very, very jealous of the structure that these young quarterbacks have that he did not have with the previous regime. - Yeah, so he's gonna play quarterback. Okay, we gotta get him. Team Lubs and we love him. We had a first round grade on him. I think we got to steal. - He's huge. - I can't believe. - He said huge. - First round grade on him. - So yeah, he said it on the show. I think he said we had a first round grade on. We thought whenever we draft him, when we draft the drew out, we thought like we got a first round pick. So all that's holding true with his work ethic. I did appreciate asking immediately after watching all the videos of like, all McCarty's been doing for three days is just standing at his one spot with this guy and he go, how's it going? You know, I saw a ball. I haven't even seen a ball. I don't even know what you're talking about. Just watching film just strictly on his feet. There's the quarterback. All right, good throw. Yeah, all right, listen, your base is too wide. All right, we're base, we're base too wide. Your arm starts getting serious. They have no idea where the hell it's going. Bump, bang it over the throw. Bump, bang your under the throw. You're tall, we need to be in there. Go and get a good base in there. Get a good kneebed. Go and ain't to fire that thing in there. And then that's all drew out of work. And now what's he doing, rolling left, setting his feet, dropping dimes. - Okay. - Look out. Here we go. - The answers are pumped. We're hard.

(upbeat music) - Football. - It's the greatest. We're so incredibly lucky that we get a chance chat about it every single day. Obviously, pre-season football is in full thrust. Only one pre-season game left for all of these teams is they try to conquer Lombardi Mountain with who though. Cuts are coming up. Trades are happening. Storylines are developing. And owners are getting arrested in a while. - Classic. - Starters are getting named in a while. Starting quarterback jobs are still open down Atlanta. And then there's new deals that are around the corner at any given moment. The talks that I was here at Boss of Conor and attachment. Ty is baseball doing anything right now? - Yeah, baseball is really heating up right now. So it kind of stinks that at the most important time, we got football season starting. So you kind of just say, okay, whatever. But if you just are paying attention on the periphery for the next couple of weeks, it'll be very entertaining. And then this should be one of the best playoff fields yet. So once the postseason actually does begin, it'll be nice when we have those few days a week where football isn't on, where like you have a Tuesday night playoff game or a Wednesday night playoff game. So yeah, a lot of marquee franchises that will be making the playoffs. And the teams who are really playing well right now, like Cubs, Phillies, Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, Dodgers, all these different teams, they're gonna end up matching up in the playoff. So we should have a lot of good playoff series and then down the stretch, it's gonna be incredible. - Okay, so this is the wild card race right here. - Yeah, this is the wild card race. - Okay, so this is a graphic about not the leaders of the divisions, the second place or best records that aren't leaders in divisions, try to sneak into the wild card race. Right now the third spot in the A.O. looks like it is open. The Guardian's obviously could have the Rangers or the Blue J Sneak in there. A lot of games left, everybody can kind of catch up. And then on the N.L. side, the Padre seemingly have that third and final wild card spot as well as the division leaders in the N.L. as the Diamondbacks, Moral and Skardals in the Pittsburgh Pirates. - Wow. - The car's still in there. So what the hell is this tie? What is this graphic? - Yeah, I'd say this really just illustrates how many teams are still alive. You know, like in a lot of situations in the baseball season especially, and especially if you look at some of these records, you just assume like these teams under 500, this deep in the season, it's like, they have no chance of making the playoffs. But that's not true. Like that last wild card spot in the A.O. That is basically flip flop. each day like a new team is in there like the other day the twins had that then the Rangers had it now the Guardians are there so and a lot of these teams are in the same division or they have games against each other so like we we have what is that six seven teams in the AL who you know could realistically make the playoffs and then same deal in the NL you have the Padres you know hold none of that but there are still four to five teams in the NL who could who could make the playoffs. Are the Detroit Tigers gonna make the playoffs after trapping? Absolutely not Pat we have lost like eight of nine games we have the most blown saves in the MLB by a long shot this team is in absolute shambles now after when we traded scuba and we were going like this I thought we were gonna make the playoffs I thought it was gonna be a dream scenario for the Detroit Tigers turns out we're just a bad baseball team and that's how it goes. You're only three and a half games back from Walgreens. I know it's not a crazy. They play in a horseshit division too so there's a chance that they still win the division actually they just got to get hot right now. One of our guys Riley Greene he got injured and then we started playing really bad. He's a good man. He's a good man. He's got a one half of the hammer died. Cowboys AP tone nine-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler. Yes Err. D-Buts baseball still matters. It does. I saw the Marlins up there. Look at the Marlins. We're fighting. We're scrapping. We had some hot runs but like you said a lot of people are in the hunt and need my marlins to get hot and get in the dance baby. Yeah I tell them I think I heard you say 30 games left. It's about right. Five if I'm doing my math correctly they're one forty one kind of for the pod. One thirty one twenty nine. Yep. Okay so we've got about 30 games left. Okay anybody can win it. You know who's not on there? The stupid Reds joining us now. One of their fans a man is college football national champion Super Champion Rada Cup winner. Ladies and gentlemen AJ Hawke. Who decided to put the in the hunt graphic? Who put that together? Was that the bone? Because the Reds have the same amount of losses as the Pittsburgh Pirates. It's not it's not a loss is about wins. Okay one more win but so we're not in the hunt. The Reds are not in the hunt then D-bone. How's that work? No you're not. Look at the graphics. It's clear. Pirates. Bottom team that's in the hunt. He had a spot. He only put four on that. Yeah he had chose not to. We're not the ones making this decision. He's baseball telling us that since today Reds have no chance. Oh Pittsburgh Pirates still in it. Must suck for you guys. I mean we got a pitcher that's going to be a Hall of Famer and everybody's got an idea on how to fix him. So he's still pitching. We got Skino still out there on the bump through. No no no. Hope not. He's out. He's out there. He's out there. See the tough thing is that this point is season you need Skino throwing eight strong. You don't need Skino throwing four innings. Turn it on dog shit bullpen and hoping they can save the day. We had rarely worked. I know I've seen a couple of different things. Arms get a little bit through like this and he's get a little bit more like this. I'll say show in the ball. So I guess he's showing the ball now behind his back. I saw somebody on MLB TV breaking it down. He used to keep that thing right behind his big ass now showing the ball. So the hitter gets to see behind his back and then also gets to see in front of him. I'm buying you see this back in the days covering it with his ass. So he can't see them. Boom. It's coming on to him a little bit late. Little though in a hundred mile an hour stuff he used to be taking place. But now he's showing him this thing given him one of these and then they see what's coming. That's what I see. Then I see somebody else. Kurt Schilling. Everybody loves it. He knows one of the best. People really don't like that guy. I just really I read through his entire thing. I'm like, Kurt Schilling. Didn't you have blood on his heel there? Well, it's funny. So I think it was not a fake. As I said, I was just a spiteful Yankees fan pissed that Kurt Schilling went into the dugout and put red Sharpie all over his socks so that when they want it would be a big go out. Look at this guy. He's a warrior. Okay. The photo. The photo. I said the photo. Okay. So that's the photo of Kurt Schilling's ankle. It looks so bad. That means to me. Okay. The hell was his ankle bleeding for. Okay. Let's move along because he's so lured out. I said. Anyways, he was saying something about his mechanics. Like he needs to go and somebody needs to come tell him somebody who is has enough gumption to walk in there and say, listen up Paul. You need to do this differently. And then he'll be able to get right back to it as well. Kurt said that everybody has an opinion on what's going on with Schino and Schino is just going right back up on a mind saying, here, let's go ahead and do this thing. It's interesting. This is very interesting because this is like future a baseball at one point conversation. And now everybody's like, something's wrong. We got the idea is to fix it. Until Schino wants to fix it, it's not going to get fixed, right? And does Schino know if it can be fixed? And does he think it can be fixed? I think he probably knows it can be fixed. I would assume fatigue is a big part of it because he hasn't played in the world baseball classic. Not that that is like the thing, but he's been pitching full exertion for longer than he ever has in his life. So I mean, I don't know. We'll see. Schilling says, hey, two to three bullpen sessions. And this thing can all get fixed and righted. But I'm sure part of it is also that he doesn't feel 100%. But they're five and a half games out. They're not dead yet. So he doesn't want to have his season be done. He doesn't want to go on the ILE. He wants to try to help out his club. Okay, let's do some baseball highlights now that we're in here. Then expect to do this to lead off the hour. Schino, I'm on your team, pal. I don't believe any of them. Now on that note, let's get hot. Let's make the playoffs. Let's do a wild car because it'll be, we were in a good spot. And then I went out west and the daughter swept us up. So probably no, you guys, you guys took one 30 games left. Yeah, let's talk about the Dodgers. Yeah, I don't want to, but. Yeah, I mean, they've been cheating for the last several years. Kind of everything everyone's been saying turns like that's coming to roost. That's what people are saying. They're saying now. So what happens to all this money that was just up there in, you know, when you're paying it, 2050, I think we're paying it. How much money? All of it. So what's that mean for this year? Nothing. Who's doing this? I am. Who are you? Why are insurance company? I own a private equity thing. I got about six different teams. And I got the smartest idea of all time. Do you ever lose against it? I didn't think so. So we're going to do this. And then we're going to beat everybody. We're going to get every good player. And we're going to go back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back all the way until they have to stop baseball because everybody's so pissed off about it. Then just a couple of investigations pop off and all of a sudden it's like, oh, bang, all right. Maybe it's all over actually. Maybe this is the last season for any of it. It's crazy that this can happen in 2026. It's crazy that this can happen. Actually, at this stage of professional sports, where now the question is like, so whose pet, where is, is this going to, so whoever buys this team just picks this up, was this going to continue? I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to shave a billion dollars off my asking price if I have to take kind of billion dollars into fur payments, right? Is that how it works? Exactly. And then you would assume whoever buys that will have enough money to be able to do that. And then this next person that comes in, everybody's just going to be cool with them doing the old routine that basically was saying was ending baseball. It's, that's quite a quagmire. Yeah. What I do know, baseball is in a good spot, especially if will turn from the Portland sea dogs. Yeah, it's an opportunity to pay tropical smoothie cafe right turn back love that and get an assi-bo so you can get real strong real juice up and Spider-Man. Yeah, two steps pound, pound, pound, pound, get up there and grabs that thing. Love what will turners doing. AJ, this is what Kirk Kirk Street says has been missing from the game. Athletes doing athletic stuff. And this Portland sea dog will turn her saying, let me climb that wall and rob a home run. I love everything about it, AJ. Yeah, that's pretty cool. This is kind of what you dream about if you're playing center field as a young kid. Okay, let me go climb the wall and catch one of these. And I don't know if someone has to do a study to see like, are there more catches like this? Is baseball less athletic than it used to be? I know Kirk tries to make that argument. I don't think so. I think we got freak shows all over the place. I think Kirk saying the style in which baseball is playing for power now. Kirk's like he wants to play baseball and think their way around the time. Yeah, he wants to see hitters like place balls. He wants to watch the Miz and the Brewers go through their thing. Are they calling out Miz walkie yet? I mean, there's I don't know that should be. Yeah, it is sitting right there. The Mike's not going to be happy about it, but he should have been from Miz walkie. He's not, which makes us believe Miz should be the Miz in the Miz is the right Miz right now. But the Brewers, I guess are the ones will turn up and getting it. What is that? That's timing. Obviously, that's reading the ball. The instincts like being able to read it right off the bat and knowing like, OK, I got to go back there. I got to find where the because he has to run full speed to get back to the warning track and then be able to find the wall. So he doesn't run into it full speed. And then yeah, time in your jump and beaten, you know, absorb in the contact from the wall after you catch it to the ball. It's a lot of stuff going on into one. Jacob Young also did it a member of a Washington night. That would have been more than double if he got to catch that. So I actually said to Bruce earlier. I think that's an inside the park homer if he doesn't catch that because I think that's Caramann off the wall and going like way back into center field. And typically like the other outfielders, they're kind of going to back that up. They're like, they're not playing a caram off the wall. They're really, OK, so it wasn't a home run robbery, but it was potentially an inside the park homerun robbery. Now, there's going to be a donut of people that aren't going to be able to get this. Oh, buddy's going to get around the bases and get home him climbing the wall. Is that an LED board? So yeah, it's an LED board that has like almost like a like a mesh type deal like on the front. But I think the degree of difficulty on that one is much, much higher because that wall is a lot higher as well. Yeah, congrats to Jacob Young making a highlight type catch. And then Kyle Schwurbo has been hitting Schwurboms all over the place at the beginning of games. And this one to end it to him. See you later. That dead center smash from there. Schwurbo clears that thing. Yeah, you don't even see the ball come down. So he hit that probably like 454, 160 feet going into the bottom of the ninth. The Phillies were down for nothing. They were down to their last strike and they clawed all the way back and walk it off. I believe that was their ninth consecutive victory. So Phillies are really heating up when it matters the most. Schwurbo looks exactly like the kid guy from rookie of the year had chosen to come on. Yeah, he don't. You know, he's a righty, but Schwurbo is a lefty. I don't think I've ever ever seen that much gum in somebody's mouth as they hit a dinger there zoomed in on that. He knew it was over. Obviously, the place goes crazy. Shout the Swarbo having a hell of a season. Philadelphia loves baseball. Hey, the bank loves baseball. I hope that they go on a big time run so we can watch the home field advantages as we go through. And that little league world series is happening. You got Panama and Canada plan right now on ESPN. Kid from Iowa might be the best pitcher out there. How many strikeouts? 15 and he's not, honestly, he's not even the best pitcher on their team. The catcher is. He's the kid who threw the no hitter in the first game. Like, I'm not just saying this as a homer, as a guy from Iowa. I think this actually might be the year that Iowa wins the little league world series because they played the Bayon team we were talking about in this game and Bayon looked unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbeatable. Yeah, Bayon New Jersey. Sure. And Iowa beat some six nothing. He also hit a three run homer, 15 strikeouts there. Game. Yeah. Yeah. The Johnson Jr. is pretty good at the baseball. Yeah. They have two, they have two absolute units on the hill, which is really all you need to win the little league world series. He is alternate, right? Yeah, the other game. And then does Anthony Johnson and Jr. go to catch her? Like the other pitcher doesn't? He's the first baseman. He's a big boy. They don't want him. No, yeah. He ain't going after pass balls. He's not blocking balls in the dirt. He's, you know, he's going to first base, he's going in at a batter's box and he's hitting absolute bombs. Exactly. Okay. So Iowa has a chance to win the whole damn thing? Yeah, very good chance. I think if they win their next game there, already in the United States championship, it is double elimination. So a couple teams still have an opportunity. But from what we've seen so far, they look like the team to beat. Iowa's Davenport Northwest Little League team. Davenport. Who do we know from Davenport, anybody? Seth Freakin, Rollins. Oh, wow. Freakin. Ever heard of them? Yeah. Yeah. He's from Davenport. Yeah. Roger Craig played high school football in Davenport, I don't know if that's what we're thinking of. All the famer. All the famer happy. All the famed to him. Is that who, Matt Dogg was mad about stealing the signals for giving it sick, it was your bet your team? Yeah. What happened? He said that in the regionals to get to the Little League World Series, they were stealing signs on second base with us, that's baseball, baby. That's baseball, yeah. Sorry. Hold on. So the kids that get on the second base were stealing signs and telling the people in the batters, but as somebody who is not a baseball person, okay, did not play baseball, in that, like what you guys were doing, that's the whole thing. That's a huge part of baseball, yeah. So, and then there, the Davenport's coach said, listen, we're not doing that. We don't teach these kids. That's not the right way to play the game at this age. But my take is, guess what? If you can pick up something from the catcher and you can let Anthony Johnson Jr. know how you got a big breaking ball come and sit back on this thing. And then he hits the two-run homer. Why aren't you doing it? Kind of win this thing or what? How old are these kids? Like 11 to 13. Okay, so if 11 to 13-year-olds are able to signal to somebody in a batter's box, what pitch is coming after deciphering what the catcher is signal was? I think it's a good thing, not a bad thing. I don't necessarily love that we're going after that. It's on the catcher. Yeah, exactly. 11 to 12-year-olds are learning. You got to hide your signals. Part of the game. I want to tell you this. Any athlete, nope. I'm not going to say it. That sounds great. I shouldn't say it. I shouldn't say it. No, let's. Any edge that you can get, super competitive, people are going to do it. And if they're showcasing this at 11 to 12 years old, I don't think it's on the kid that's super competitive and figuring out your signals. I think it's on the person giving the signals. That is an advantage of the 11 to 12-year-old can figure out. He's in your clubhouse figuring out your signals that you have talked about. If a kid from Davenport, Iowa has an 11-year-old, knows baseball well enough, knows signs well enough, knows tells well enough to be able to signal it to somebody, I think that's charged to the game, baby. I'm not a baseball guy, though. I don't really know. Within a split second, though, that batter has got to digest that and realize in having help. Yeah, let's talk about that. Think about it. Imagine an 11-year-old, though, sitting on second base and trying to read the catcher who gives, like, what, two or three signals, right? And goes, okay, this is curveball coming in. And just somehow gets it to the batter. If he can get it to you without you knowing he's getting it to you. I think once again, that's competitive, like, these are all in his baseball, I thought. Yeah, no, it definitely is. But it's cheating. Is that considered cheating? I know. I'm going to know if that's considered cheating, because I would like to go back. Knock on what I say if somebody doesn't know baseball. Not considered cheating at all, no. In the majors, it would be a lot more complex, like the signs would be so you can't, I'm guessing that some of these teams, like, they're just doing one fastball, two off-speed, you know, so, like, if, yeah, if the catcher's hanging that out there and you can see it, like, you pick up, it's not cheating, you know, that's kind of on them for either not having different signs that you can't just decipher immediately or for hiding them. That's on the catcher and that's on the other team to be able to hide those. Okay. Literally rules on sign stealing, official stance on our literally tournament rules, relaying signs are on sportsmen, like, behavior to decode a catcher's or pitch or signal is strictly probably the same. See, so I figured it was at this age that you couldn't do that, but, but that's bulls. I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like that. No. That's ball. And their coach said they weren't doing it anyway, so. Okay. Players have the discretion to use warnings or even eject players and coaches involved. So do that if you think they're doing it, you know, and you know what that doesn't stop is both those kids striking out 15 guys on the bump, you know, wait, what are you doing? You want them to throw throw throw throw throw off hand now because they're they're throwing too hard. They're pitching too good. Oh, they're coming after Iowa. It's a goddamn witch hunt against these kids from Iowa and I don't like it at one bit. Just as they know ball, they'll be exactly. Oh, wait. These guys are way too dominant. They're beating the shit out. Everybody. Let's start manufacturing some rules here. Let's make these two lefties who these young kids can't hit. Let's make them throw with the right hand next game, see if we can, you know, kind of even the playing field. Well, I think what they're saying is feeling rules have been in here since the beginning of time. That's fine. You know what? Get with the times. Like, like, you can't get with the time's if that is part of baseball. If you could, if a kid is throw, I mean, you know, and now if we want to talk about Astros and you know, garbage, exactly doing all that mumbo jumbo, I get that. Like, if these getters are just hanging those signs out there and ball willy-nilly, gobble those things up, put them back out. I'll tell you what, if I was an 11 or 12 year old playing baseball and I knew what their sign was, I'd be so proud of myself for figuring out with it, you know what I mean? That's literally all right. I think these coaches are studying the TV copy, though. These games, if you have a gun opponent that have played a game on TV, yeah, you are going to watch that game and see like, hey, is this guy seriously still doing one for fastball two for curve or change up and then no other doubting signals like, yeah, they're, hey, guys. I think we've got an opportunity here coming up this week. Tell him the 11 year olds, hey, I didn't tell you this and you didn't hear it. But if you see one hanging down there and you want to just give one little bang, okay, fastball is coming, everybody would be appreciative. Now I didn't tell you this, men in black, blue light here, you guys keep them moving. One of these kids is going to come out with a tell-all, one of these Iowa kids is going to come out with a tell-all and we're going to learn all about the strategies you guys have been doing. It's also fine because if they want to, you know, create a witch hunt and kill these kids for that, you know, I mean, we're letting fucking Danielle Montaille play in the Little League World Series when he's 18 years old, you know, you got this goddamn 18 year old kid with a mustache and go T throw a 95 miles an hour from 46 feet and they celebrated him. Because guess what, he threw a perfect game every single time because he was eight years older than every other kid. He got drafted by the Yankees the year after the Little League World Series pretty much. I think that's the need to be. That's cool though. Yeah, he was like six. That's not cool. He was like a 16 playing in the Little League World Series and we've, we've never seen anything like this kid. He's throwing 85. He's striking out everybody and then it came out like two weeks ago like, oh shit, he's kid 17 years old. He's driving. He's driving a Brake. And he was actually 14 instead of 12, whatever the kid. He's paying damn bombs. He's a big dip. He was ball 350. Freshman. Nice. Head freshman in high school. He's playing to get six graders. Anyways, what we're saying is if you put competitive people in a position to get an advantage, they are going to try to do it. Which leads to there are going to be NFL players back playing college football this year. Ladies and gentlemen, the Browns are waving tight end, Dayquan Wright. That was supposed to happen before August 30th, which is the last cut, which would be one week, six days from right now. If he clears waivers, he has an agreement in place for the 2026 season to play for LSU per agent Drew Rosenhausen and Kyle Lincoln, who we spoke with on Friday. Wright is believed to be the first player who could play for an NFL team and then go back to play in college. Drew Rosenhausen was saying that same thing at the end about how this is history making. And even Drew said, this is not a desirable way to go about doing things, but this is the current situation. There's obviously a lot of people that have thoughts and opinions about this taking place. This is the only draft class or recruiting class that this could potentially happen to, because of the injunction that was signed down in Louisiana just a week ago. He could potentially be the Jack Clyburn, I believe, could also potentially be doing this. It was like 16, maybe 24 others that could potentially follow in the same steps here. As Dayquan Wright of being an NFL player who was potentially either undrafted or a late draft, who didn't get the five-for-five rule eligibility for himself as it was ruled after he had to declare to go to the NFL. Now with an injunction in Louisiana, is able to take advantage of that five-for-five rule, go back to college, build draft stock. And what some people say is take advantage of the system, take advantage of the system. But what's the system? Who makes the system? Who regulates the system? It's a bunch of local judges, and the NCAA gets sued by all of them. So, AJ, that's where we're at. How many NFL guys are going in the buck, guys? How many are going in West Virginia? I know zero are going to Oregon, because Dan Lannon came out and said, you got to be an NFL. You're counting in the NFL. Ryan Day just came out and said the same thing. Same thing. It's respect. I like to like Marcus Freeman. Good man. Good man. That's the roster too. They don't want you coming back and say you didn't Dan Land. They all say two players. I got a boot somebody out of here, right? And they both went to LSU. Okay, so two players have done it. They both have gone to LSU. Ryan Daze come out and say doesn't like it. Dan landing said that that's not the way this thing works. Marcus Freeman said that's not how this works. Their roster is also completely full. We'll see right at this stage because how close we are to regular season. The fact that LSU even has roster spots still available. I think it's interesting. Maybe this is a long term design. Maybe it's potentially a four thought like a chess play by everybody in LSU. Maybe Lane Kiffin, but I believe the stance if you were to listen to LSU. It's like it's a lot. So tell us when it would be tough, though. If you if you're a coach and no matter how you feel like, hey, can this do help us win? Like I'd have a tough time turning the guy down. I believe there was a quote that said he either plays for us or plays against us. You know, it's he's if he's eligible for football, he's going to play. Somebody is going to have him, especially in the coach football world. And it's like with this guy, I think he was all SEC tight end last year. Obviously was in an NFL camp and he comes back after training with NFL guys to do college football season. How big of an impact we have probably a massive one. Will people be pissed about this once the season starts? Who knows? This could just be the flavor of the day, depending upon how big he goes. Go ahead. Yeah. I know. It just reeks of one of those things for this guy scores, you know, week one, one game days down there. And that is part of the conversation like how come LSU gets used to these NFL guys? But that is the thought. If LSU doesn't grab him, someone else probably will. And granted Ryan Day and Dan Lening are two guys who have said, yeah, no way we would do that. But you're telling me like a Tennessee or a Bama or a Michigan or one of these other teams would like just feels like that. Be obvious. I thought there were some sort of SEC transfer thing. Yeah. We haven't heard. We've only heard about that one time. It was a Pete thing. We haven't heard much follow up. I thought it was because they weren't coming from an SEC team. They were coming from an NFL team that maybe could circumvent. I also have to clarify. I only read the first part of the quote from Ryan Day. He said, but we do have to do as best for a hostage state. Okay. Okay. Which I think is kind of exactly what if you were to ask LSU what the deal is. It's like certainly we know of the rule. Will we be a part of the problem here? Definitely. But if we're not a part of the problem, somebody else will be. And you want this guy to score three touchdowns against us. I don't think so. So that's what we're telling our fan base and our school and our alumni. But also our locker room. It's like boys because of an injunction. We're able to have these guys. How do you feel? He's all SEC. Don't care how you feel. He's coming back and he's playing in here. It doesn't feel right by anybody's standards. Like there's a lot of things happening in college football and college sports as a whole. And nobody kind of agrees with. I don't think anybody is saying everything's good. But it's just like the reality of the business right now. And until something gets figured out, all this different type of chaos and bullshit's only going to continue and grow even bigger. Yeah. I can't wait. I'm forgetting his name. But this would be a situation where the Falcons force stringer that we just saw running wild against the Colts, where he played division two football one and drafted strand. And then he ended up, you know, I'll say he doesn't make the Falcons because Cooper Cush is there and he's the fourth quarterback on that team like you're telling me that situation. It feels like might be kind of more doable at least understandable because this guy never played division one ball. He was unbelievable for the Falcons against the Colts, dominated the Colts. And then maybe there's a team out there who actually needs a quarterback. Texas Tech, you know, Thomas Castellanos for Florida State. I believe he went into the transfer portal. Everybody immediately says Texas Tech, Texas Tech, Texas Tech because, you know, what they have going on at their quarterback position. If Jack Streg, okay, it goes from Dyson up and if I don't know if he'll clear waivers after the performance. True. Because they got clear waivers. Got to be completely eliminated from the NFL. Got to get cut. Nobody picks you up. Then you can go in there. It's all such weird ruling. You know, it's all such weird like, yeah, actually these guys get drafted. If you go to the NFL, don't make it, they can actually go back and then maybe the NFL will let them into the draft next year and they can up their standards. It's like, was it work for the people that didn't go to the NFL that just kind of didn't, you know, get drafted or anything like? Nope, doesn't work for them. Have to be in an NFL camp. Then you can get cut from NFL camp. Then you can go back and do college. Join the workforce. Don't get your CDL. I'm going to take these kids opportunity. I mean, I, I, I fucking hate this. I hate everything about it. I mean, it's, look, as coaches, you're going to do business as businesses being done. I get that part of it, but it just sucks. I just, but all these different things always think about like the high school kids. Like because even the NIL and transfers, whatever. But like every year, every time one of these things happen, it's going to be less and less high school kids that get an opportunity just getting a locker room. Maybe even a walk on who we always see these great stories three, four years later, get a scholarship or become a starters. Less and less of those stories will happen, more, more, more things like this happen, man. So it sucks, obviously every person, you know, wants to live out their dream. But look, we have an opportunity as little leagueers. We go to high school, we go to college, and then we shoot our shot at a pros. It doesn't work out NFL. There are other leagues you can go in and maybe get another opportunity next training camp. But I mean, I hate everything, everything about it. Yeah, yeah. Well, this is the only time this, this particular thing can happen. Okay. This is the only time ever. Good now. Yeah. I mean, I saw some of their Johnson's boy. Yeah, Max Johnson. Oh, yeah, starting for his six team. He's been playing college football since Bear Bryant was the head coach at Alabama. Not Bear Bryant, but close close close. He's coach, oh, it's LSU. Yeah, 20 and both fixtures last year in Texas A&M. His is a lot of a man. Look at the job. There's a lot of men. Yeah, he got hurt. He's a lot of injuries. His leg almost cut. I hate that lot. Lot of injuries. You know, this was happening. The punters. When the Aussies were kind of being brought in after full Aussie rules football careers, where they didn't start their university clock. So they could come in as 24, 25 year olds, 26 year olds. I think there's even a 28 year old at one point. And I love every Australian that I've met. This is not me burying the Aussies as a whole. But it's like, if you're a college coach, would you rather a 27 year old Aussie who has a family and has already done an entire Aussie rules football career with money and fame and everything? To punt for you? Or would you like a 17 year old doofus from Plumboro High School in the East Hill? Like, what would you rather have? It's like, give me the adult every single time. That was kind of happening for punters and kickers and stuff. It's still happening. But now the five for five year old obviously changes that through COVID with the extra years and yada yada, it all kind of, everything kind of blew up in NIL with money and employment. More money here than even in the NFL for some people. It's like, whoa. How do we figure it out? They're never going to. That's what Pete Damatore's listen. It's never going to get figured out. You want stability? Fucking go somewhere else. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And it doesn't really happen anymore. But they used to be very high profile cases like, you know, Drew Henson, Brandon, Weed and Chris Winky guys going and playing professional baseball. And then that doesn't work out. And they come and there's the start. Yeah, Joel Klatt, sure. Like starting quarterback, you know, at like a Florida state, a Michigan, an Oklahoma state when they're 26, 27 years old. And like, I think Winky won the Heisman, didn't he? He won the Heisman at like 29 years old. So it's like, you know, this, yeah, exactly, exactly. That's fascinating. Need the five or five, just five or five rule forever. It's when you're 19, you got five years or the day you graduate high school, whatever that is. That's the rule to fix it. Yeah, 19 is the latest for the five year clock to start. So 24 should in theory be the highest you could be. Which is still old. I mean, if you go to school and you really focus, I mean, I don't know if you can be an engineering physics physicist or whatever and that many years. But you can get a master there. You go two years, 20, 20, 24, 24 years old. I'm still looking to graduate, but how many credits? I mean, who knows at this point, you know, yeah, transfer new rules. Yeah, who knows how many of my credits were even real. You know, some of those classes felt not real in time. I couldn't even imagine what, you know, yeah, they're still classes there. Yeah, definitely not, but do the credits even count. Yeah, you know, that's like one of those things. I think if I was to transfer with my particular major, not saying every major at West Virginia's like this, just my particular majors, I think if I was to transfer like half of them would have went to the next place that I would have once or something like that. Like, yeah, we're not. Excuse me. Those don't count here. That's not real. I would assume it probably got easier like post COVID. Oh, yeah, a lot of places. When's the last time a player got suspended for being an eligible? That used to be a thing. Guys are like ineligible for bowl games due to schooling. Like, has that ever happened in the last five, six? No, especially can you even do it to if they're getting paid because you're robbing them of cash? Yeah, like that sort of, yeah, how's that work? I think it doesn't matter what grades you get. It used to matter what you kind of had to stay eligible. Yeah, you're an employee, basically, of the team, not really. Are they still student human athletes? Are we talking human athletes? No matter me. Did I see Michigan for freshmen? They don't, they're not even doing grades anymore because it's too stressful. Oh, pass fail. Pass fail? No, not even pass fail. What? Just go. I could be wrong. I could be wrong. I thought I saw it, but there's a lot of stuff on the internet I see. It's not all so. You're not throwing a swing in a hot battery, you know? Yeah, swing in a hot battery, now I'd say. Rick Patino, you read Rick Patino's tweet. Did I? Yeah. To my favorite universities for their academic and athletic excellence are Notre Dame and Michigan. I just read Michigan is going to pass fail for liberal arts and sciences for freshmen years. Is this what you read? Maybe. Or did you read the same thing that Rick Patino read? Maybe that too. Okay. I don't know for sure. Hopefully Rick. I wish I knew. I'll tell you what, brown universe is real. Okay, good news. What's happening to us? Pressure brings excellence. - Collins, don't get soft, Michigan. It's not where you're at batting. Rick Patino, don't like it near to I. - High side with Rick. - Me too. - Now Brown University, I learned whenever I became an Indianapolis coat alongside calling Clority who was a Brown University draft class mate of mine. They're a passfail, the whole place. - Yep, have been for a long time. - A whole place. - A whole place? - Yeah, oh yeah, but that's why. - Yeah, that thing matters. - 'Cause you're not a dipshit if you're getting in there. If you're going to Brown, you actually care about school. You're probably going to classes. So you don't have to worry about some slapstick going in there and doing what it like. Most of the people who are in school there want to be in school. So I think the passfail just kind of works. - Yeah, that's not how it works. - That's okay, I was like, I got good family relationships. You get a skewed up score on your ACT, get into Brown, who cares what you do? Passfail, you have a Brown degree for the rest of your life. - Yeah, yeah. Calling Clority very smart. I think he's like a lawyer. - He's like a two-toss boy. - Yeah, two-toss boy, yeah. He was a super cheater. 'Cause I'm talking about me guy that did not go to class got loans out to have a good time. - But there probably are situations like that. We're like a kid's dad went to Brown and so does his mom and he's a grade A slapstick. And he's okay. - Passfail, exactly. - What does that mean? I gotta get 51? - Or I think an F is like 60. - 60 F, yeah. - So you gotta get to 60. - I think it a D plus, isn't it? To pass? - I didn't even know passfail class has existed, to be honest, until I heard this about this of Brown, I'm like, it's-- - So do you get graded on paint, if it's passfail, which I've never been a part of, I've heard of it, but like, so say I write a paper. Does it just passfail on that paper? Do I have a running like a shit percentage? - I think it's legit, you have a running percentage and then just based on what your percentage is for the entire semester, that is whether or not it's pass or fail. - So does it give like a thumbs up on something or a thumbs down base? - No, I think you still get like letter grades. So it's like-- - You just don't gotta tell anybody about it. - Yeah, exactly. - It really doesn't matter, and I think it gets into a situation too, which a lot of people, so if you have an A, the entire semester, then you can like, by the end of it, it's like, okay, well I don't have the final paper doesn't mean shit, and I don't have to study for this, you know. - Bruce is telling me you gotta get a C or better. - Oh, there you go. - In the past, yeah, so that's the C or better. So if you're gonna get a C and Brown, West Virginia-- - Similar. - I guess a B probably. - Somewhere around there. - Give or take. - Just for mine, West Virginia has a lot of great degrees. I certainly was a physical therapy, athletic training, nursing, the law school. You went through in the air like, hey, by the way. - Never gonna be able to do this. - You're not gonna be able to do this, yeah. - Yeah, this is cute. You're the first player that's ever said he wanted to do law. So wouldn't you give you a tour of this whole place, but there's no way you're gonna be able to do this. So good luck out there. So thanks for the honesty, Mr. Dean. I'm gonna get the hell out of here. - It's funny, you get the school you realize. All right, you can do one of these four or five majors. - No, I wanna be a lawyer. Oh, that's cute. - Yeah, I bet you do. - Give your scholarship back. - All right, okay. Yeah, you know what practice looks like, and this is what you're gonna have to do for that. Is that what you wanna do? Yeah, you're right, communications. Let me get in there. Let me go ahead and learn how to communicate. Gonna need to, right? - Mm-hmm. - Then a little sociology in there. - Oh, yeah, that was mine. - Yeah, communication and sociology. - Sociology and psychology. - Ooh. - Sociology and psychology is very deep thinking tag team partners there. - People have things you can use in actual life. - I have a little polysci in there as well. I'll tell you what, I don't know if they told me the truth. - Mm-hmm. - You ever know? - If you just dabble in there, there's gonna be a lot of people saying terrible things. - Sure. - Even if you have the best interests in mind, like, hey, you leave the future. We could do one of these. They don't care. They don't wanna hear. Nobody wants to hear. - Sociology. - Got this. Groups of people interacting with groups of people. - Mm-hmm. - Yeah. And those two. Mm-hmm. (claps) All right, get ready. - Always. - Taco chambers. - Yeah. - Same thing. - Sure. - That's been since beginning of time. - Mm-hmm. - Survival tech. - I think that's a huge rollin' out of the cave. You know? - Mm-hmm. - Yeah. - And they don't believe the same thing. And they ran into somebody from different cave. It's kinda, you know, could be metaphor for our current social media world, cave, you know, kind of. Come out of the other side. You hear somebody say something about like, actually with fire, you can just do one of these. (screams) Bang, bang. I don't think so about these. It's probably since the beginning of humans. - Mm-hmm. - Shut up, homo sapiens. It's just kind of doing this as you get it. - Shut up. - We've really been getting after it, haven't we? - Yeah. - We've been trying to take care of each other too. I think since the beginning of your time, we gotta remember that. Tonight, a superstar here in Indianapolis trying to get back to this city. - That's cool. - Trying to reinvent something that was massive for our society. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now live via Zoom. (laughs) Okay, he's a man who will be hosting tonight's Super Softball game for charity for Indianapolis. He'll captain one team. Daniel Jones will captain another team. There is Jay Butler and the toxic table. We'll be on Daniel Jones' team. - Wow, it was. - Joining us now, the captain for the other team. The man that's hosting this entire Super Dupor Softball event. Tyree's, Halabar, eh. (audience applauds) Getting booed by the boys, Tyree's. How's it going, pal? - Good, why are they booing me? - Well, 'cause you drafted the teams and you decided to have all three of them on the other team, so I think that's a little bit of a shot at the entire program. I'll be I'm seeing it, I'll be non-biased, but all of the lads are on Daniel Jones' team. It feels like that was kind of on purpose. - The teams are randomly assorted. - Don't I bet. - Oh, I bet. - Oh, then how's your T.J. McConnell? - I told you Jay today, if it was up to me, I would not have been on his team. - Why? 'Cause he's white, so they're even more so. - Yeah, back away from yourself as Connor and Ty. Get them the hell off the team. Okay, interesting stuff I choose to MC for. Everybody says, I'm the bad guy. Okay, that's interesting. - That's not that is not the truth, but you know what, you run with whatever narrative you want. And if they want to trade T.J. for D-Bud, I won't complain. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, as you were talking Tyree's earlier, he said, what position is D-Bud playing? I said, D-Bud could play, he just goes, that's good information. Then he hangs up, I know he's trying to work a trade, but he's trying to work a trade for this evening. Can you tell me a little bit about tonight? Obviously, the money's going to the Indiana Pacer's foundation which gives back to the city, which we're very appreciative of. But how much do you know about softball? And what should we all expect? Like, what time is it and stuff? All that type of stuff that people might need to know about. - The event is at seven o'clock. We're toxic table D-Bud, we're supposed to be there at six. - Okay. - Okay, that'll happen. - We're supposed to get there on time. - Backage of D-Bud, I think we feel last I heard 9,000 tickets were sold. - That's it. - Oh. And it's a general admission, it's $10 a ticket. We're doing this, like you said, to raise money for the Pacer's foundation. The last time this event happened, my good friend Paul George said, I want to be a Pacer for life. Then he asked for a trade a couple of days later. So there has not been people in Indiana have been scarred since that moment. So I'm here to help bring, we're gonna bring more joy back to the event. - Okay, incredible news. Can I wait to get down there? It was a lot of fun. I got ejected from the last one. - Remember. - I can't see that happening again tonight for some people. - Well, it's not actually not a bad play, but remember, it is about the fans. It is about the fans. And I can't wait to see you three. - Yeah. - Talk to those fans after the game as if you're a Savannah banana. - Yeah. - Stop. - Stop. - Don't give that. I will reneg on my, yes, I'm going right now. If you continue to do that, I'm not a Savannah banana. - You're a Savannah banana? - No, I'm going out there and I play a little softball and try to raise some money for the Indiana Pacer's foundation. - Oh, kind of give me a keep baseball. You're doing a Savannah banana baseball. - Wow. - We're playing softball. - Savannah banana softball. - Well, that's a good question, Ty Reese. Are there any bullshit gimmicks like that that we need to, you know, be doing? Like, am I gonna have to like take my pants down and dance around and do what's the bananas. Take my shirt off and shit like that, or is this kind of true blue softball game here? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, true blue. Right down the middle, there's no gimmicks with this. This is real life. - Well, that's the purpose. Who's, are you paying? - In the home of Derby. - Yeah, go ahead, AJ. - Do we have a home run Derby, Ty Reese? I think that's always a fan favorite. - I, I don't, you know what? There was a small conversation about it, but I don't think we're having a Derby match here. Next year, what do I do next year? - Next year. - This is bringing it up, is, would you call it the inaugural? Do you call it that? - The revival of the softball game? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Maybe the rebirth? - Mm-hmm. - Yeah. - I like that. - Re-imagined, you know? - There you go. - Jesus Christ, come out of the cave, moving the stone. You know, it's back 'cause we thought maybe it was gone forever. You know what I mean? So maybe, maybe it's one of those. Maybe you put, maybe you do the whole-- - Oh, stick moda. - Yeah, yeah. - Maybe you do the whole thing. - No, yeah, I think it. (laughing) - We brought this back from the dead. This thing was dead dead. I mean, people hated the softball game after the whole Paul George situation. I mean, they thought that was the reason. So the fact that there's 9,000 plus tickets already sold. Now, granted general admission, 10 bucks come have a good time. Especially in Indianapolis, people do enjoy going and doing things. But this should be a good show. How are you expecting your team to do? The one that you hand selected and left the boys off of. And how are you at softball? - I don't know. You know what's funny? I have no idea how I am at softball. I might be trash. I'm thinking I should bad lead off just to set the tone. Either we're going to be trash or nice. I'll probably play second base. I want to be on the infield. But shortstop and first base, I feel like it's too much action. So I need to second. Who's pitching, who's pitching? - Yeah, you know, they asked me to pitch, but then they said I would need to pitch with the net in front of me. And I'm like, I feel like that's kind of soft. off. So I shouldn't do that. Don't do it then. Move the net. Get the net out of the way. But then what if a line drive comes out, can't you do a position? Wake up. Yeah. Wear a football helmet. Not a bad idea. We'll give you a, we'll bring one of these football helmets. Yeah. Give them pads, give them shoulder pads too. Just like a cold. Dude, you know what those softball pitchers do in these beer leagues? I mean, how's the big dogs they used to have a real team? That person's pitching and because there's so much time, I mean, you're getting into a full defensive stance there. You're getting the way you back up. So you're telling me how to pitch and back. Yeah. It's your turn. It's your game. It's you first day in New Jones. You got a pitch. All right. I'll pitch them. Yeah. You got it. No, no. You don't want to be a pitch and, you know, what do you mean? What off? You say Daniel Jones wouldn't that thing if he needed to actually chew that. I'm just saying it'd be very cold. It'd be very cold. It's like if that happened. What do you mean? Okay. I saw a lot of names on here. For instance, I mean, you're a fresh out of a, you know, a recovery. Daniel Jones fresh out of a recovery. I believe Tyler Warren obviously had a little something happen in practice. There's a lot of names on here where a lot of people are saying, hey, middle of training camp here for a coach, we don't need to be seeing Malik neighbors struggle in the first base here. We are keeping that in mind. I assume Tyrese, right? For sure. For sure. Like it says, I think it says on the bottom of that graphic that the players and teams are subject to change. You know, so I know Tyler's a little banged up. He doesn't want to play. He doesn't have to play. That's okay. We can we can figure it out. Heres team is he on. He's on Tyrese. Wow. That's a shot. I've never seen him Tyrese. Again, these teams are randomly made. I did not make the team. Okay. Yeah. We'll find out if that's an error of tonight. One person will be on a microphone throughout the entirety of it. That'll be me. I'm very thankful and lucky for that as the boys will compete against Tyrese, Salah Burton. Winner will obviously win big losing teams. Captain, I heard donating an extra $100,000. Wow. Okay. Thank you for doing that Tyrese. For the good of this thing. That's you. Good people. You're good people. You and Daniel Jones. Thank you guys for doing that. When did you decide that was going to be the right move to really spruce it up a little bit? Think about 15, 15 seconds ago. It just had a piphany. I thought I heard that. That was not something that was out. That's why I heard that. You heard that. Yeah. Yeah. I read that. It'll report a little extra sauce on this thing. Tyrese wants his team to win. You know, loves giving a charity, but certainly doesn't want to be the one that has to donate $150,000. That's pretty sick that you guys have agreed to that. So tell me a little bit more about your relationship with Daniel Jones being, you know, the pillars and the faces of Indianapolis at this point alongside obviously Caitlin and Kelsey Mitchell and Alia Boston and Sophie Cunningham. How does it feel? A little young generation of stars here in India. And obviously, thank you for committing to that massive donation if your team loses tonight. Daniel Jones also very cool of him to do that only only two years in the city. Well, well, I think what it comes with me, Daniel, obviously we're both recovering from Achilles tears and yeah, the same surgeon. So we've talked a lot through the process. I was obviously ahead of him. So he's picked my brain a little bit and tried to help as much as I can. And you know, with the timing of him doing it, him, you know, hopefully being able to go for week one at like that nine month mark is awesome. I'm really excited to see how he how he looks and from all of our conversations, he feels great. So I'm looking forward to seeing him coming back here soon. And yeah, I'm glad that the culture going to be a part of this and him being a major part of it. $250,000 donation for the losing coach tonight as Ty Wies will take on Danny Dimes in a softball charity classic that we all certainly love quarter of a million dollars. That's like the biggest ever. Yeah, gotta be. I think so. I mean, when you're bringing it back too, you can't just bring the charity softball game back and not have the purse be the biggest possible. Yeah, $250,000 with what at least 90,000, right? Because 9,000 times 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's why $340,000 donation at least let alone all the concessions and everything like. Hey, Ty Wies, this is awesome of you and Danny Dimes to do this for our city. Thank you so much, man. I'm so excited. You're the best man. That's a patient. And also remember, he's still doing this on a basketball court. Yeah, yeah, don't get it to high. Boom. Is it streaming anywhere? Better be. I mean, $4,000 a charity on the line. I mean, it should be. Can we walk? Is it streaming? I don't know if it's streaming. I don't know if it's a stream. Okay, you don't have like neon or anybody coming through speed stopping by. No, no, no, we got next year. Next year, I'm on a I'm on a I'm on a journey. We're going to get PG to come back. That's what that's what would make. Yeah, yeah, everybody love that. Everybody would really be pumped up. That's a good question. The flow. What do you say? That's the great idea. Have you ever seen Seth do flow? He's done it before. I don't know if you can do the national anthem. We don't need to. Yeah, but even that spot is a absolute talent. Okay, everybody needs to go. We could bring it. We could bring mid to do it. Yeah, mid could do the national anthem. Things started. Oh, you see. Never thought about it. Can you? Have a letter. Okay. Thank you so much for joining us, Tyrese. Can't wait to see you tonight. Thank you for giving back to our city in such a big way, both physically and financially. Tonight cannot wait to be a part of it. Thank you for asking us. Appreciate you guys. The legend, dude. The core of a million dollars. I've done it for his first softball game. His inaugural is rebirth of the charity softball classic here in Indianapolis. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Tyrese. How about it? Thank you. Tyrese. So happy. Everyone. It's got to do the big donation. Where'd we hear that? I thought it heard. It's a line everywhere. Pacers don't come. Yeah, I thought we heard that. Tyrese. I thought we heard that donation thing. Was that us? We just made that up. I guess Ty, is that right? Yeah. Yeah, you made that up. Hey, that up. No. No. I thought this was a big like. That's all right. Shoms. Chef DeCollette. Oh, no, we're going to work on it now. I'm going to work. We're going to, you know, you put me on this spot. So now I got to figure something out. Well, you know. No, I think you just did a text to your money guy. That's what you got to do. No, no, no, no, no, no. You should watch some film. You can make that thing knuckle. If you do it right, actually, I'm being serious. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm a little worried about my pitching ability. Just throw strikes, dude. There's nothing worse that these things than someone out there who can't throw strikes. It just makes it long. People get pissed off. They get disengaged. This is interested to put it down the mill and that's why I'll be so angry of like the toxic table hits one off on me. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, Con man's been working on his activation. Yeah, swinging a heart. Yeah, dude. He's bringing it, bringing it a lot of ass and I think he's been walking on, you know, good elevation. What's that? Incline incline on the treadmill. So he's asked big right now. It feels like team Jones has this one in the bag. You'll find out who's all on team Jones by the time this game starts, I guess. You're the best man. Good luck. We'll see you in a bit. Thank you for our massive Donation Tire Race. I was just like during the kick. Kirk Herb Street's going to give $150,000. Yeah, what? Yeah, I did. Okay. Yeah, you don't want to help the kid. Bad guy. Bad guy. I will be excited to see what that number ends up on. We're almost there. How much are going to do? Couple sign jerseys. 50,000 per I think they should at least donate 50,000. 50,000. 50,000 losing coach. That feels like something. Get that thing up over $150,000 donation. That feels better anyways. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And also they got to have a little bit on the line. Yeah, the motivation. They got to have a little bit on the line. You know, a little invested because whenever they're giving speeches to the team, I want them to feel some. I want them to sound like the guy from Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, I want them to talk about what is rally, what is brought everybody together like we heard from the Dallas Cowboys locker room. This game, the star, this team will make us brothers. Hey, man, hey, be quick. One, things to clean up for sure always is, right, gay, but the playstyles right. It's right. I'm proud of you guys for that, but I saw something I've never seen before 25 years in the NFL. An entire section cheering for one man. Well, that was an incredible win. Now I am very fortunate to be amongst you and to play in the same field where the same, the same star hold it on our chest and I'm proud of us. I'm proud of how far we've come. Man, this game, fate brought us here as strangers, but this game, this star, this team will make us brothers. That's a ball. Yeah. That was awesome. Shia's Pete, a member of the Navajo Native American tribe. And Shia stands for younger brother or little one. I'd like to see. I've no, yeah, did they name him that whenever they're watching him as a young lad. I'm not sure. The Native American contribution to sport to football has been happening for a long time, to sport just as a whole as well. They're going to win the lacrosse. Oh, yeah, for sure. They're going to win the Olympics for lacrosse in this entire thing. Shout to Shia's getting his moment right there. Shout to the Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals fans have showed up to cheer on their fellow Navajo, I believe, is a beautiful thing for the sport and for, uh, I think for society as a whole. Yeah, very cool. I believe I wrote a story about how his father was in the army. I believe in that when he was in college, basically the only problem that the team had with him was like, he wasn't mean enough. So they basically should have told him like, Hey, if you become a bigger prick here, you are going to basically fly in this football thing and it turns out now you're going to be a member of the Dallas Cowboys. It's unbelievable. Maybe we'll see hopefully, obviously, we have pressures on you, Jerry. Sign them now. Oh my God. Jerry Jones, listen, I've always said I love the Navajo. Okay. Jerky tribe, a little bit easier to work with, but I love the Navajo as well. There's a lot of like, uh, little on the Seminoles down in Florida. It's like, there's a lot of, uh, influence still very much by the Native Americans. And, uh, I learned about the Seminoles tribe when I went on a trip down in Florida. All geniuses. Mm-hmm. And then now with the sports gambling thing that's going on down there and everything. And the gambling, it's like, I don't think so. Hopefully Shyass gets a good chance at a run. The highlight that we're showing wasn't like a great highlight. So, so I, I'm happy he was on a field for a touchdown, but I didn't like the angle in which some of the highlights were running. Shout Shyass peaches. Yeah. We always talk about, you know, how much we love or hate speeches, whether it's like it's usually from like, guys that you expect to get from like, if you're here to get the same guy giving the speech either before a game or it's like, all right. But like those, like unsuspecting ones, like the guy that never speaks up or the quarterback that maybe not be vocal once he speaks, that's when it's kind of different to hit home. And I felt like, you know, that one definitely hit home. That's one of the ones was like, oh, man, that's what we always talk about missing a locker room. That's one of those post-victory moments where somebody gets their shine. Obviously, I hope he makes the team as, you know, we'll see, but, uh, that was awesome. Yeah. That was awesome. Also, kickers are awesome. Yeah. Preseason. Let's go to Carolina Ryan Fitzgerald, who was a rookie last year. It was 24 of 29. His second year out of FSU. Hey, 61 yard bomb. Shout to him. Jack's him. Deville even season underneath that. Say that special. It certainly is. Even if it is preseason is still an absolute bomb. Let's go to Green Bay. Mr. Smock out of Florida. This guy's been a saving grace seemingly early for you guys time. Yeah. Without a doubt, he hasn't missed yet in the preseason. He was four for four again in this game. 59 yard there. He had another 50 yarder. Uh, this is the most excited thing I've been about from the preseason so far with the Packers is how good he's been. Yeah. Guardian of victory is how Jim Harbaud describes his kicker, especially if it's a good one in Cameron Dicker. You want to talk about a good one? Let's go to a Super Bowl champ, Harrison Butcher from 69 yards. It's the bottom of the net would have been good from 70 plus an absolute animal. It was dealing with a little bit of injury last year, I do believe was off his game, spent the entire offseason getting back to who the hell he is. It's a 69 yarder in preseason. The boys go absolutely crazy in the berserk. Arise as the holder. Perfect snap. Perfect hold. Absolutely clobbered. Maybe a little bit of a breeze behind him. But who cares? We gotta kill that. That's unbelievable. 69 got a tight draw. And like you said, it would have been good from 70 plus incredible from here. Hey, Jay, these guys are talented. They can pull up on you from anywhere. We're going to see a 70, 74 or 75 yarder at some point. Butcher would be one of the guys that could do it. I think there's about five, six from these guys are only getting better. Hopefully we'll get better someday, but we'll continue digitally. Be a friend to a friend. Something nice might change your life. Goodbye. Okay. Got a little self deprecation in there about us getting better because who knows if that will ever be able to happen. I watched a clip from us from four years ago earlier today. Basically the exact same. I know a lot of people saying we're very different. We are not. That's what I kind of learned through it all. So hopefully someday we will figure out how to do this and get better at it. But until then, we appreciate you all for watching. Butcher hitting from 69 is crazy. That's insane. Well, that's the thing. It was like huge tailwind either, right? Like it was there was wind, but nothing crazy. No, that yeah, this is just obviously down there in Tampa. It's hot, taught humidity, you know, thicker air can either help or hurt depending upon how you view it. Whatever the case, butcher just absolutely stroked that because obviously from that far, you have to swing hard. So whenever you swing hard, there's a chance you pull it. You hit a little bit fat. That's why you see some of the long balls be the most disgusting balls. They pull them way laughter, push it real short because they hit too low. Him hitting that thing basically pure for a 69 yarder mentally, the amount of restraint that you have to have to not swing out of your shoes if you will. And then for him to have a lot of yardage left on that special leg, special talent. And obviously he last year didn't have his best year. And he didn't look like his knee was collapsing on that for the first time a long time. It's not a lot of things like I think players or whatever can do in the preseason game. It's like, oh man, this is this really got me Jack. I'm ready to go for the season now. But for a kick and you talk about this, you know, Harrison has been one of the best kickers in the league since he's been in it really. Obviously he struggled last year. He talked about the injury. But for him, I would assume this is huge for his confidence going into this season. I'm making a kick like that. You can see the reaction from his team. Like this is the team is a quarterbacks of one multiple super balls and they run on the field. Like they just did it from a preseason game. Yeah, jacked up for him. Watch his left knee here. Remember in years past, it had been collapsing. Kick that thing gets leg lock stays on both sides there. Remember, he had been dropping down to his knee. Yeah. So something had been going on. Maybe a little miniscus, maybe a little some sort of tear. He gets full leg lock on this thing. Bang, bang, a little bit of a draw. Looks like the wind were a little right to left as well. What a beauty man. What an absolute beauty. Is butker back with that help this chief steam. Certainly is patched my homes going to go on another super bowl run. Obviously, the odds think they're going to win the AFC West. That's a tough division. Very tough division. You like holding, honestly, watching or rising to do like holding. That seems like I'd be pretty anxious heading out there, especially the better. I think the better your kicker is. Like always smoke. I could ruin this whole thing. Yeah, Adam Venetarian misses a kick. I don't think they're thinking it's on Adam, right? I think they're probably thinking it's the guy holding the ball. And I knew that. Yeah, I didn't sleep the night before first game, not because of like punting, which I'd never really done NFL style punting in a game before the matter is because like holding it just like that was a scary thought. Yeah, and you got to be you got to be right on. If you're off by half an inch, it changes the leg swing. It changes the approach. It changes the stand. Yeah, yeah, it sucks. If you have a great snapper, like that ball right there was perfectly snapped. I mean, I think it was laces perfect right over the spot. It's, you know, he was pumped too. And that's on the staff for a lot of people. I don't know the laces. I was growing up watching Ace Ventura. I didn't know that the laces are on the snapper. Yes. In the NFL, the laces are 100% on the snapper. It's how they're being judged actually on the snaps. It's like that's Winchester. He's been there a long time. It's perfect snapper in, but yeah, I think, you know, think of a Zinehorn situation. Everybody says it's on the holder. Holder can definitely make snapper right with how quick everything happens now, though. The laces are 100% on snapper. You need to get them at least in the area of the front. And that's like the attention to detail that professional athletes are under. You just need to snap the exact same ball. And then we'll catch it at the exact same spot. And then the laces in theory should be forward. Yeah, but if I'm a little bit more juiced up and I spin it faster, it's like, don't wait. We need you. We need to snap the same exact ball. And pre in pregame, you'll kind of bounce around like over to him was really good at snapping laces. He had a very smooth stroke, but you can tell if he was a little tired, maybe he's one day or if he was a little juiced up another day because the rotation is way the faster slower. So he either move up like a third of a yard or move back like a third of a yard to kind of find where he's at for that particular day. And then you just go off of that for the rest of it, but there's a perfect snap, perfect old, absolutely stroked. And now the long ahead. What's the typical, uh, I guess what was your operation time? Snap the whole one, one, two, one. So as soon as the from the ball moving, um, to the ball being kicked like one, two, to one, five, one, put two, five. So that's like one right now. Snap hold kick, one, three, one, four, your dancing with block from the, yeah, exactly. Everything looks like it's this close coming around the edge. Oh, oh, oh, and it's like, well, actually, we know the exact time that your line right shouldn't be able to get there. Should if you get to kick off and they're like, you shouldn't be able to get around the wing and block that. If you get it off in the right time right there. Yeah. So this is probably a one, two, six, if I had to guess, because how close that guy was probably maybe a one, two, seven in that area, it's a little bit longer, two might have taken a little bit longer steps, whatever the case is. But yeah, because he got it off so quick, that's why it didn't get blocked. Every kick almost gets blocked off the edge. That's like we understand that's happening. And the guy who's the wing, he's just trying to push him to slow him down. So he gets there by one, three, five, all we're trying to do is just get this thing off under that. So we can get the hell out of here. So being able to do that on a 69 yarder as well with not changing up anything. Unbelievable. Good for you. Look at my homes, dude. Oh, happy is good for you, dude. Good for you. What are that happening? I'll say, yeah, be a lot of that. Okay, let's get to a break on the other side. We got to wrap up everything happening around the sports world, including the humanoid games. Oh, yeah. These these things got no shot against none. I'm 39. Not going to live that long. They're not going to be none of these things that are going to be agile enough for me to worry about. And I'll tell you the way I'm looking at them now. I don't think Mackenzie or Midas, my kids got anything to worry about either in their lifetime. Now, their kids, maybe, maybe, I didn't like a marching together. I mean, but that's pretty machinery, you know, advanced pretty quickly. Yeah, it's things advanced pretty quickly. We're good at the celebrations. They have that down. Yeah, but all of us can, you know, that's all we got to know. Yeah, let's go. I think why don't they do bigger ones is once once you give them weaponry firepower and then we're dealing with some, you know, horse of different color. You're talking about this thing right here. You're talking about this thing getting a gun at hand. Yeah, right. Yeah. That's a ton of that. I never go. - You're gonna be a real off-screen. - Okay, turn it. - Not that one, not that one. I'm talking about the one that allegedly beat Usain Bolt's time. He get him dole-oosies and he's running around like that, everywhere. (blows raspberry) - Good luck. - I'll know that, man. - That'd be tough to take out. - Okay, I mean, I guess I didn't think about unlimited ammo on both hands. - Yeah, mad man. - Mad man. - How do you think about that? A Chinese robot runs 100 meters and 939. I don't believe it, by the way, looking at it. I think it's a different block. - It looks weird. - Looks slow. - It looks like Usain Bolt could smoke all these things, but they're telling us that that's 939, so I guess we just gotta believe it. - Yep. - Well, that's the Chinese. You gotta remember that, too. - You can't really believe anything. - Alter your motives. - You dead? - Yeah. - It is dead, yeah. Ray couldn't stop, you know? - I just had two swords in his hand. Good luck, you're gonna go stop it, you're gonna shut him down? - Well, I think you just gotta move, right? Don't you just gotta, kind of like when a buffalo is chasing off of you. - We're dead. - Yeah, true. - Kind of just gotta move out of the way. These fuckers can't move. - They don't have any side to side, you right? - Yeah. - But still, they will eventually, someone will figure it out. - Yeah, blue came out. - Yeah, I think he had eyes on him. In the blue one, they said this fucker's a closer, you know what I mean? They put it in him, they coated him in. - That's my favorite part. - Yeah, I'll die. - Yeah, that's the best question to them all. - Just like horse racing. - Hey, now they say some gave all. - All gave all. - All gave all there. - No. - Yeah, that means. - Yeah, Messi's not-- - It doesn't look real. - Well, Messi's pointed up over top of the thing. - Look at that. - I do like that, I do like that. - It looks like Ronaldo. - Oh. - Oh. - Miss, exactly. That's what I'm talking about. - Look, yeah, we kick it now. - Soccer kicker's head right there, it should. - Yes. - Oh, he won. - Is somebody controlling these things with a remote? - Well, some of them are. - Some of them are not. Some of them are odd. - Oh, he's back. - He's back, but he's back. - He's back. - I don't know if that's particularly a remote or if that was just kind of coded in, but whatever the case, I like this one to dance better than everybody else. - That's a bit of Hulk on him. - And what? - What? - No way, that's not real. - That had to be in slow motion. - I don't know, guys. - I don't think they're just 11. - What are they, what are they? - Carbon fiber. - Holy shit. - The way. - No. - Not a shit. - Uh-oh. - What if they had two guns and he's shooting over a fence right there? - Yeah, he's shooting. - Now he's back down. - They're deploying poison. - Oh, what? - Oh, was this triple jump? - I didn't think about that. - Look at that guy. - He's the hell out of the way. (laughing) - Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry is the humanoid saying sorry, sorry, sorry, about walks of back, walks of back, walks of back, walks of back. That guy should just go left hook right through the head, just see what happens. - A metal. - No. - A metal break his hand. - Hey, leg drop brother right there on that thing. - Oh, these things are a little good. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying. - They don't have heart, they don't have- - Not just guy. - Love it. - Oh, I love that shit. - Hey, physical football. - So they can't get up, Roy Keen. (whooshing) - What's your down, you can't get up, is that how it works? - Doesn't appear like that. - Some of them, yeah. - Turtle. - Yeah, it gets flipped over on a shell. What's gonna happen? - Anish. - Oh, wait. (laughing) - Dude, you were saying these things, thank you. - Fossil would dump them. - Oh, Fossil, sir. - Yeah, Fossil would beat all of these guys. - Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. - No, look far to number two. - To his face. - Right to his face. - Oh, penalty. - Go! - Go! - That's always terrible. - We're going to do the move. - That was a bit of a strike. - Where'd go? - And then we get to the spot. - Oh, yeah, that one. - Oh, I can't turn. - Stride, what is this? - What's this dance? - Just dance in, is this jab-line? - Let's see if it blane. - I don't know. - Oh my gosh. - I stole it. - What is that for? - I don't know. - It's a high jump dude. - All right, we're done with it. We've seen it. We've seen these guys. - It would be sweet to have one in your house if it could do random stuff for you. - Yeah, yeah. - For now. - You'd want to put a gun in his hands, I can already tell. - Oh, so turn on me eventually. I'm not putting a gun anywhere near, I'm not giving him any coaches, any safes either. - Good idea. - Nice. - Take care of the bees. - You don't think you'll be able to set, yeah, definitely take care of your beehive that we definitely got to follow up on. You don't think this humanoid will be able to go up to your code or whatever and just feel where you have pressed a bunch and just say, oh, there's only about a thousand different variations of these four and then just pff, and then everything's open. Maybe I am a little worried about these things. - That's the end of it. - That's the end of it, actually. The more you say that, that does worry me. - And you can't put a sawzaw in it either, so don't. - What's that? - He knows. - Oh, what on it? - Got nothing left for me, don't let me talk about it. - Yeah, sawzaw. - Sawzaw. - Sawzaw, yeah. Tony's talking about having sex with one. - Yes. - Oh, man, it's coming from a guy. It's just a matter of time, Tony. - That's already happening. - Yeah, you're right. We're gonna be obsolete. - I think I might have missed a convo. Do you guys certainly have had so you guys found out about somebody fucking one of these things? - Well, he's one of the best O-line breaker downers on all the worlds. - All right. - Who are you talking about? - We're back on the other side. We're gonna talk about everything happening around the sports world, not the humanoid world. We already covered that. I guess that would be one guy. That you would certainly look to and say, yeah, he might do that. And sounds like you guys are saying he is. - I'm thinking of thinking he's thought about it. - He may have looked into it. - Happy, I gotta left out of that. - I would have some follow-up questions. - Did you guys handle with a couple of follow-ups or no? - No, I don't. - Never dive into his brain very much. - What a spooky place. - Yeah. - What spooky time if these humanoids do get a little guns that you got, I didn't think about that. - Yeah, that's what worries me. You know, like AJ said, two samurai swords. And then they program it so that it's top can swivel. And it's just swinging, moving around like a top, swinging these things and just slicing people's heads off. - While running. - Forwards. - That's gonna happen, honestly. - All right, I'll take back what I said to be giving this. I don't like what I just saw. And I, for the good of my daughter, we'll like to kick the heads off all of these things. - Yeah, there you go. - We need red cards, these things. Like yellow cards. - It's like we put jet packs on their bags. - We need some smoke. - Smobile, EMPs. - Yes. - Boom. - Yeah. - Not got all the power. - They're gonna have their own defense. - AJ said, you don't think they've heard of that. - They've started all of it. I'm gonna keep on my side though. - Out of the bees. - We got a big day, big week, actually. - Yeah, what's going on? - I mean, you guys don't deserve any information. Anyway, then matter what I say, you go, "Oh, you don't know what's going on." I got about five or six frames full of bees out there. I got a queen that's cruising around. I need to, today, this week, I need to confirm if she's laying eggs or not. She's laying, then we have a chance to make it through the winter and be good. So yeah. - That's a week ago. - That's the last one. - The last one didn't lay eggs, right? That's why you think that they potentially-- - Yeah, they killed her, yeah, something happened. She, you know, she was not living up to the standards of the colony, so they said, get out of here. - So you brought in a Russian? - Yeah, they can make their own. They can make their own queen, but they were not in the process of doing it. And I had to, time crunch, August, need to get going. So, can you bring them into the home with your family and if she doesn't lay the eggs and you want to keep them alive for the winter? - No, I've talked to some other people. Talked to another guy last night. Extended family member, giving a lot of good tips to help me get through the winter with these guys. These gals. - I think you need to go get them a hug every day. Keep them warm. - They've been great. They've been great. Very calm, very, not erratic, they're doing good. - I like to hear that. Congrats to you. - Well. - The Hawkeye king. There's one queen. But they'll always be a king. - That's right. - And that's this guy right here. - Yep. - That's right. - We're at the best. All right, we're back on the other side covering, we gotta cover everything, you know what? - Yeah. - No, there's others. Be your friend's girlfriend, something nice, as much as you like. Take five. - Five. - Five. - Five. - Five. - Five. - Five. - Five. - Five. - Five. - There's the greatest that's AJ Hawkeye nailed it. The top's tips here at Boston Conor and at Thai Schmidt. They alongside nine year NFL vet, Darius Jay, but there will be playing in a charity softball game tonight. - You're a boy, you're a boy. - One half of the hammer down. - Thai boys AP Ton is your ton. Who's the favorite for tonight's charity softball game? Tyree's Halliburton will captain one team. That does not have the boys on him. Daniel Jones starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts will captain another team. They do have the boys on that particular team now. All rosters in players are subject to change as Tyree's Halliburton just hours before first pitch tonight. Who's the favorite to win this tone and how shall we be viewing it? - When I first looked at this yesterday, when I saw it, I gave Tyree's team a slight advantage minus like 120. But it's basically a coin flip. This is one of the better matchups you're ever gonna see in an event like this, especially so late in the summer. You know, normally you see these earlier in the summer people aren't as serious about it, but now that we're into camping, so it's gonna be an absolute born burn. - I mean on Tyree's team, you got Josh Downs there, obviously freak, freak show. Cam Bynum, freak show. Bryce Batcher, freak show. - He got drafted to play in the big leagues, so. - Yeah, that was the best. - Yeah, he's the organ linebacker, remember? Baseball guy, that time. - That was the name I saw. - Yeah, he's in the arms on that one. - Yeah, he's on that one. Yellow or what? - Vicky's Hallburn's team. - It says he is an active player, but again, that could be a game time decision. - 'Cause I bet you he can't make me hurt. - Ash, I would assume he can too. - I would assume T.J. McConnell from our understanding was going to buy pants for this thing, so assume he's gonna be pretty locked in. Emma Hulter, she goes for it, we know that. - Andy Ignite. - Absolute. - Yeah, Bob says spike it, that's the way we like it, yeah. - Yeah, absolutely. - You're right over that. - That is, so yeah, actually, they're like, what, second best team in the league or something like that? - I believe so. - Yeah, something like that. Riley Leonard, gonna be good. Gonna try really hard as well. Let's see who else is on that one. - They're all on Tyrese's TN. - I got some home files. - The contrary will. - Some home files on Tyrese's TN. the other team. Yeah. You guys got no shock. No, we got J Huff. Never mind. We got J Huff. That's all we need action. Dolan Hannah DeBeer. She indignite as well. I believe so. Yes. Okay. So she might be having a couple of the Boons. Yeah. What the whisky? Whatever. She's just walking it off. You never know. And then Brayton Smith. Obviously, we know he's a big, monster. Yeah. Got their old lineman. Brianna Sturry, legend, Ty Schmidt. Obviously, he was thinking about playing call and baseball. So he's got to say, Darius J. Butler, he could play any sport professionally. Yeah. CJ Allen. Gonna be unbelievable. Kaden Curry, hometown kid. So I think a lot of people are thinking Team Tyree's probably gonna win in a landslide. But I know you guys aren't gonna let that happen. Not a chance. You just waiting for the right side of the plate. Okay. Don't get cute. I know. I was thinking about that. Yeah. Right here. Switch it out. No, don't listen to that. Switch hitter. Unless we did this in the office. We did this thing. He is an absolute stick from the right side of the plate. And then he got a little too cute. Started to go from the left side. He's not the same. Yeah, but he said he can't. Yeah. He said he thought I could hit from both sides though. That was like a big part of his game. He could try it. I mean, tonight, you might find out if you can. No, I'm stick to. I'm listening to my coach. Oh, you don't think there's going to be maybe a little public pressure after you go over to maybe. I say DJ as your coach. So you listen. Yeah. You listen to coach Jones. You're right. You're right. No personal coaches and gimmicks. You're right. I coach somebody up this morning and then had a call and back up and say, hey, don't listen to anything. I just said, sometimes too good a coach is a problem. Everybody's got to get out of your healthy. Us included, boys. Yeah. Blame me. I've been warned about that. Poor amy's. No. None of that mumbo. It is really close this season. We just got a text message from Chuck Pagano. Uh, so we have no problem having our players out here, fucking around before the season starts. What if we lose somebody? It's for charity. They're not fucking around. Well, he actually says all for charity, but for fuck's sake, can't we do it some other time? It's got what we were saying earlier. Well, somebody just mentioned it normally this happens in the summer. Yeah. We've seen like ten of these this summer. All right. It was like two months ago. We got one now. Can you watch it? We have no idea. There'll be clips though. Let's make sure everybody. Smart. Stiking cannot like this one. Stiking might be there. Stiking might be a reserved designated hitter. If I don't stiking like I think I do, he hates that this is happening. He won't be there. Let's call them. Yeah. Gracious. Yeah. The team has it. They got the night off for what? How's it work? I mean, they're basically in camp. Oh, I'm muted. Oh, yeah. See if the answer is cold. Call or read me it. No, it better be in the middle of something. It better be in the middle of something. He can't. Yeah. Yeah, me. Okay. He might be talking to the team right now about this tonight. Hey, fucking world. Crawling. Oh, I thought a tie of war and take a seat. You're not going anywhere. Okay. We know answer from Shane's like he's locked in. Yeah, he might not even know if this is happening. I hope he does. I hope he doesn't. I hope he does. He got about 12 guys who are going to make a significant impact on team this year. He better know what if I don't hear someone down the line and he's he's in that white. And it's like a force gum situation where he's running down the line and the braces fling off and he's just back. Oh, this like it announces to the world that he's all the way healthy. Yep. Ankle heels on the spot. That's a super positive way of looking at what could happen here. Yeah. I like that. Let's continue to do that. Okay. On the other side of this, we might talk about this night on this show for the entire football season every single time the Indianapolis Colts are brought up. Chuck Pagana just said heads will roll if somebody goes down. That's what he just sent into the group. It was. We will talk about his day. Fox. We'd be like, you know what? That's when we knew the coach. Yeah. I love it. You're the best. Pimping home runs. Yeah. Or camaraderie. We're just talking about how the office went fucking 12 for 12 home runs. And then everyone else just kind of looked on and off. You guys know anything else about the game. No, we just know that when he was on what time we're asked to be there. Right? Yeah. That's when we just found out altogether at the same time. And my takeaway was we don't have to be there at that time. I'm the MC though. So I feel like you definitely do. There's some sort of something. Get every four seven. I got something going on at 530. It's pretty absurd. I'm gonna be honest. Yeah. I got a plumber at my house. So took a big dump. Sorry. That's what I'm more worried. Yeah. We're the other players of the river. Down town. No, we're not playing in River town. Stayed a bit close though. It's called the victory field where the Indianapolis Indians play. Correct. They're the triple A affiliate for the Pittsburgh Park. Good squad. Beautiful ballpark. Very gorgeous. Great ball. You know where metal spikes. Yeah. Uh, no. Thought about it. I don't have any cleats here. So I'm just gonna wear, uh, you know, an ode to Tyree's. I will be wearing his. Yeah. Oh, you're not gonna have to get grip. I'll be okay. I think you're gonna get yard a few times. D, but I think all three of you might get yard tonight. I'm sitting top in the gap. Yeah. I can say I'm not trying to. I'm trying to. I'm just gonna hit the ball. Where's fish? You know, they've been a favor. They swing out of your shoes. Yeah. No shit. Yeah. We're swinging hard. Okay. So Connor, you're swinging hard. Ty and D butter playing a little softball here. No. I mean, I'm swinging hard. What are we talking about you guys? They're seeing Michael Bowley soft pressure. You know, but, but I'm also gonna try to play the game the right way. Who should be their inspiration, AJ? Michael Bolton. The guy with golden pipes. I can sing his ass off. He was like a professional old man softball guy for a long time. I am sure there are. But that was back in the era. Like my, I don't know if your guys's dad's like, I grew up. My dad was like, we'd go around and do to drink 80 beers and they would play a softball game. Like I know Tuesday night. Yeah. We, I had watched those games. Tim did not play in those games. Tim was, uh, road, but I would see those drunks playing at because the courts were right next to it. You know, I said, a basketball, a basketball courts here. And then obviously there is baseball fields that were, uh, catty corn to it. You get out there on the right night. Yeah. So many drunks out there playing beer league softball. Very competitive. These guys get really mad at each other in the pitching. They're like, yeah, very good. We got nothing. Backspin it. Super high backspin because they're trying to force you to hit popups because they know they're swinging out of your shoe and home run rules. How you can only hit four or something or be plus four and home runs, you know, that throw all those rules out tonight. Yeah. That's right. I'm only watching Strowman tape bitch. Yeah. It's Braun Strowman's dad and Braun Strowman. I, I thought that's who you're going to refer to for inspiration. No. Braun Strowman. I believe his dad rick the crusher sure is the greatest hitter of softball in history. And it did carry into Braun's body too. You get him in a batter's box. He'll hit you a little backspin riser that goes forever. I watched guy do a hundred and thirty mile an hour bat speed. Do you see that? Like no. The price better. It wasn't price better. We do have great highlights of him. I saw a guy online. He's, I think he tries to break the bat speed record. I don't know. It's like his thing. He was trying for it. Absolutely. Oh, I can't see that. There's a lot of it. Yeah. He's it to left field. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't see it. Do we work out with it? No, he had full gimmick on though. He had a hundred. Is he a righty? Yeah. Yeah. He was. Yeah. He was moving. Yeah. There's like that. Like there's that guy who is in the full gimmick who tests like all the metal bats. The baseball bat, bro. That's what it was. Yeah. Yeah. That hit you. Nooks. Are we talking exit velocity or like his swing speed? I said a hundred and thirty mile an hour right exit velocity. Whatever would be the record swing speed swing baseball about a hundred and thirty mile an hour. I don't think it's possible. Yeah. So it has to be X. Yeah. V low or whatever. Right. Whatever with the record. Yeah. 130 would be. Yeah. He matches the. And then he was worried about Denning the bat. Yep. That was like a big cup. Are you guys worried about Denning the bat? A little bit. A little bit. I am worried that they might have some Mickey. Like I want, you know, state of the art brand new song more bats. I hope these aren't some Mickey Mouse bats that they just went and grabbed the Walmart real quick. I hope we got some pure lumber. Good wood. You know, something we can I'm just trying to hit the ball hard. I want to hit the ball hard. Real hard. Okay. Do you want me talking in your back? Like when? I don't give a shit about that. Sure. I mean, it's baseball game. I'll be able to feel that. Yeah. If you get the ump to dance as well. You guys have mock up music. Some guy on stilts or something going on while Thai swinging. I'll hit that guy in the knee as hard as I can. And I'll get ejected and it won't be like, I don't be like, they'll be fucking taking me out of their handcuffs if the ninja ump shows up. You do. It's the dancing hump. Whatever the fuck his name is. The first base ump is the ninja hump. Yeah. Okay. Ninja on first base. Yeah. Maybe we'll get the dancing hump in the ninja. Well, who knows? Tyree said no hijinks, no gimmicks. Just a good old fashioned game of softball. So he said. All right. Yeah. Let's pivot to college football. Keelan Russell is your starter for Alabama. Yeah, Keelan. Upside crazy, they say congratulations to him. Earning the starting role for the Alabama foot, a lot of pressure on Kaelin DeMour. First time not ranked in the top 10 since St. Nick came to town. Whatever it's been forever. SEC at the top. Everybody sees Georgia. Everybody sees LSU. Maybe Tennessee is able to go on a run. Nobody talking about Alabama. Maybe winning a national championship for the first time long time. Keelan DeBore has only won games as a coach. Let's not get it twisted since he's coaching D1 AA high school D6 D7. Whatever he coaches everywhere. He wins football games. Is he the right fit for Alabama? People still asking, especially without last year ended against Indiana who go on to become the national champions undefeated and obviously clopper everybody. But nobody wanted to see the Indiana Hoosier football team at the Rose Bowl embarrassed the Alabama team and said that's exactly what happened and now there's just question marks everywhere. And Keelan Russell might be the guy that takes Kaelan DeBore out of the outhouse in the hot seat into the promised land in the South yet again. There's a chance I could happen. Obviously they got studs across the board. We believe in Kaelan DeBore's coaching ability. Do we believe in Keelan Russell TBT? Pondman, nobody talking about Alabama, maybe wouldn't and all this year. - Yeah, probably exactly where he wants to be. I know the fans are probably pretty pissed that they're not on the top 10. I think it was 17 years ago when they weren't ranked in the preseason top 10, but this is probably awesome for killing the board. I mean, it sucks that, hey, no matter what, you better start winning games or else you're gonna be, you know, run out of town basically, but you got like a young quarterback. I assume this is a DeBoard guy, right? And he recruited him, brought him in there 'cause Ty Simpson was, you know, saving guy who stayed through it all. Now, DeBoard's finally getting his first kind of star recruit aside from, you know, Coleman Williams, but this is awesome for Bama. It's awesome for DeBoard and to your point, I think his career record is like 130 and 20 and he's still kind of being questioned. So it will be cool for Bama and who knows? The SEC stack though. I mean, look at that. Look how many SEC teams are ahead of Alabama on that one. - Oh, we worried about Texas. Loud weekend for Texas. - Very much though. - Yeah. - Linebacker dismissed from team, offense looking elementary, they're saying, a lot of reports out of Texas, not super positive, but we just assumed they got enough talent, they got another year under the belt, they're gonna have success. - Yeah, a data one of the freshmen too, threatening to expose the program or whatever, what's going on. - Yeah, a lot of drama. - There was a lot going on down in Texas, but they are so, so, so, so, so, so, so talented. They had it down year last year with Arch, especially with the, what we thought they could be coming into the season. But the two years before that, they made it to semi-finals of the playoffs, both years. So they can do it, they have the talent, their defense is absurd, their wide receivers are crazy, they brought in two transfer running backs that, they are uber, uber talented. Them in Georgia are the top tier as far as the odds are concerned in the SEC. - Let's stay in the South. Tennessee is named a starter, congrats to phase on. - Yeah. - Phase on, Brandon. - Starting quarterback, he's a true freshman for Tennessee. Hypo always seemingly has a good offense, right? Like his system, his style, the way he calls games, he could be great. Tennessee has an incredible atmosphere, obviously, and Neil and his crazy stadium down there, Rocky Top is a beautiful place. Once again, another team nobody's really talking about, but makes a huge decision here. There was competition between him and George McIntyre, I believe was the alternate, and I believe the conversation about upside ceiling is being utilized right now to name starters. Good for Tennessee, get a guy up there for maybe the next three years as your starter, you can build around that AJ. - Yeah, can you imagine coming in and starting in the quarterback at a big school at Tennessee as a true freshman? Like you were just in high school a little while back, and now all of a sudden you're leading the Josh Hypo lead offense that seems to give the quarterback a lot of responsibility and a lot of decision-making on the fly, I got the snap, pre-snap and post-snap. So yeah, I'm excited to see him playing. I think a lot of teams are going through this right now. Like, who did plug in at different positions? Do I want to plug in a guy that's been here and may not be as talented, or maybe these young up-and-comers that just have not been tested in the biggest moment yet? I think we're gonna see it through the first four, five, six weeks kind of play out. - What is it, 113,000? - 113,000 down there, packed out, packed out, ready for it. If you win them over though, you got a vault for life. I mean, he's got paid manning way down there instead. - Yeah, I'm excited just because this was a top-ranked overall quarterback. - Him and Jared Curtis, the freshman at VanDee had the same exact right in coming. - Yeah, I like when these guys get a shot right out of the game. Who is the last, like, true freshman quarterback that's kind of taking the nation at Josh Storm? - Was Nico? - No, he was a red shirt. I feel like all these guys are like transfers. - Was he a Mali Yava at Tennessee? A true freshman? - I don't know if you're right. - When they went to the college football playoff and got killed by a high school student. - No, but they remember that he played Iowa in the bowl game as a true freshman. - Oh yeah, you're like five, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - But no, full season. - It's been epic, no? - Cowl, kid. - Oh yeah. - Song and pull and telly. - Yeah. - But it was Cowl last year. Song and pull and telly, I think he's gonna be in conversation, big one this year. - Studd. Yeah, I think he's gonna be, he's the lefty from Cowl. That Tosh was able to keep up there. I thought he was on the first thing smoking out of there. They were able to keep him. Ron Verra, right? - Yeah. - He was running the ATM up there as well. Tosh is the head coach. And yeah, he, Song and pull and telly. True freshman last year, I think. Ooh, he went crazy last year. He's really, really good. - Sick. - Yeah, he was. - That's like the best part of the late games is one. It's like team like Cowl. Yeah, and that was it all year less. You're like, if Cowl was playing at 10, it didn't matter where they were playing. You were turning on to watch him play. - Great. Got a 130 AM hit time coming right down the pipe 'cause this guy is must watch football. Here are the Heisman odds as we go into another college football season kicking off on Thursday night. CJ Carr and Notre Dame odds on favorite to win the Heisman. Congrats to him. Archmaning, obviously a lot of bets on Arch to hit this year. Dante Moore runs it back with a lot of the same folks out at Oregon. Dame Lanning says, you can't even failure in here. - Okay. - Get the fuck out of here. - You're an NFL player, dude. - I like that. - What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you have any openings on your roster right now if you wanted to bring you, buddy? - No. - No. - That's not part of the conversation. I don't like anything about this. A lot of people don't. A lot of people really don't like it. - Hard to. - But how many things do we have to see that we really don't like before we even change, you know? It's like, hey, we need something. Somebody needs to do something, make sure there's some sort of something that we all can abide by. You know, 'cause right now it seems like is there anything that anybody can abide by? - No. No. - If I'm a fan, I want my team to just cheat and cheat and cheat and cheat until we actually get some rules in place. 'Cause then what, are we gonna maybe try to retroactively take away some wins and some, that's fine. That's fine. Let me enjoy a couple national champion. And if you want to take those away 10 years now for the road. - You're not taking back my memories, brother. - Yeah, exactly. You kidding me? Everybody else, fuck, cheat. Let's all cheat. Let's do it. - Well, that's kind of what they're all saying. - Yeah. Exactly. - Yeah, actually. - Crazy AJ, you grew up obviously in Ohio as an Ohio State fan. So I assume you must might know the college football world a little bit better than we'd, I mean, tie grown up in Iowa, I guess, in there. But like, I did knock her up in a college football town. I grew up in a football town, obviously, but it was Steeler Town. Watch college football 'cause I love the sport of football, but didn't know like the entire, you know. - The fandom, the craziness of it. - The whole thing. Yeah, I didn't know any of it. So getting baptized through college game day with this thing is like, oh my God, this sport is the greatest. And you got Pete Thamel, the lead inside are going, that's, we've only just begun. (laughing) You know what I'm like? What are you talking about? He's like, there will never be stability. Okay, listen, there's gonna be some new thing. And then who said something about churches the other day? I think it was Reese Davis. Said something about the old school way of having churches get involved. It's like, oh, at least that entire era can I be caught up? Please, on the church era that we're referring to, because if there isn't like, and this goes back to the 11 year olds on second base, little league world series, if you put uber competitive people in a situation to get an advantage, they're gonna do it. I mean, that's just the levels. That is the difference between the same uber competitive people, not all of them will take, you know, a little bit of, you know, I don't say a shortcut, but like a morally corrupt decision. Not every one of them will do that. But these uber competitive people are the ones that work the hardest. They stay up the latest. Every day they wake up, they're committed to it. They go to bed. Everything they're thinking about is winning and success and getting better. So if you do, if you see an 11 year older or 12 year old that is trying to get science to get to as far as it's like, we should tell them, hey, can't be doing that at this age, but we should be very excited that and try to harness their amount of competitive spirit. I think that that is where they're at. Now, can't be doing that there. Hey, let's for the good of sport. You can't be doing this yet. Like how competitive you are, though. Like what that is. That can also become something, if you become a coach, football coach, where it's like, so I'm allowed to do this. Yes, I don't care. Don't wanna hear shit. Yeah, but people are saying we shouldn't do it. It's for the good of sport. Is anybody else other than me gonna do this? Yes, somebody will. Sweet. I'm either playing against them or they're playing for me. Yeah. I'm gonna do that then. And it's like, ah, will there ever be something where they say, no, nothing. I think even the sores be situation kind of open that up where I was like, there's no guy. And everybody was like, I don't think so, you know, and it's, it's just, would ever be able to get fixed. How do you fix it? I mean, it's not gonna fix it. It's not gonna be them, is it? No. Yeah, there has to be just a lord of the land. Well, they can't just not have someone a commissioner to solve them, which is awesome. And no one's signed enough to do their job. That seems like a mat, like I don't, can you imagine even starting that process? Like who's gonna be the governor? I don't know. I don't know how they get it back, I guess. We have some breaking news in the NFL. Yes. It is being reported. Great to you. Tall. Oh, whoa. Oh, hold the phone. Whoa, whoa. No, it is happening. It just, it's just who, this is an interesting game now. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is an interesting, interesting little game now on, you know, who has what info now that there's multiple different. Oh, gotcha. I have a look here. I have a look here. Yeah, sure. Tom Pellicero is reporting. Oh. That booty has been traded to the Texans from the New England Patriots for safety. Jalen Reed and a draft big booties name had been on the trading block out of New England since the beginning of camp basically because of the depth that the New England Patriots have at the wide receiver position, especially after bringing in AJ Brown. Kind of expected booty. How do you feel about getting a safety back and a draft pick on, man? Yeah. Kind of unbelievable. Because when this whole thing first started, the ideal was case on booty might get traded for a fourth or a fifth round pick. And now we're getting a pick and a player. It still might end up being a fourth or a fifth, but it adds depth. Mike Rable gave a conversation in an interview this morning about how, hey, we haven't played starters because we don't have great depth basically anywhere. So adding someone in the secondary, especially where there's some questions about health, Basically, every single year when it comes to Carlton Davis or some other guys being hurt, that's massive and good for booty. It stinks, losing him, but you mentioned we bring in AJ Brown, bringing Romeo Dobbs, one of the stars of camp, especially in these preseason games. It's been Kyle Williams, who is essentially the next deep ball threat. You would hope, which is what Keishan Booty was for New England last year. So great for booty, feels like great for Houston, stinks to help a team in the AFC. That's a little tough, but he's going to be awesome for them. Kind of wish him all the best, because he was unbelievable for the New England. Who's reading? What do you think Houston's getting with Booty, deep bass? Houston's getting, obviously, we saw Booty have a great year, became a reliable one of the best. Probably the best if you look at the number as far as being a deep ball threat last year for Drake May. And we know Higgins just towards ACL, Tankdale, he's on his way back to recovery. He should be out there healthy, Nico. He's one of the best receivers in the game, but so now you have another weapon for CJ Stroud. You notice it's a huge, huge year for CJ Stroud. So obviously, as a coach, I hate this, them getting better, but I think this is a great, great pick up for the Houston Texas. Good for the Houston Texans always cooking. I mean, Kiserys always wonder how can we do what we can do. CJ Stroud gets another weapon. Hopefully CJ has a gigantic year and gets himself a big contract with the Houston Texans. And I'd like them to finish second in the AFC style. And I would like the New England Patriots to finish. Who cares? Just not the AFC champions. Man, I don't know. I don't know why not. And it does feel like the Patriots got so much better across the board. It really does. They really did. Tough or scheduled issue. Tough or scheduled is here. Much better team. I mean, but every single time we talk about one of these teams, especially, you know, like New England, Buffalo, the kind of top tier teams in the AFC Kansas City, so much of your relies on health. Thank you. That's the hardest part about like this time right now. Which goes to the Ashton Gentie. It was being reported like Ashton Gentie was about to be out for the season, you know. And that was a bummer. I was very bummed out. Turns out he seemingly benefit, I don't know. I get lucky. Not as bad. Original reporting that hit the internet was like, we've lost Ashton Gentie forever. Yeah. It's like what I was reading and how my Alga was kind of playing and then listening to the Rageers fans respond. And it's like, that turns out not to be the case, which is good, but he's still going to be banged up. They're unsure how long he will be out, but he's not considered a long term injury. And everybody has taken a deep sigh of relief. No doubt, man. Us too. Ashton Gentie. And you heard chefters say, fancy footballer, certainly want to know if Ashton Gentie is going to be around. Running back position is obviously very important. You may hear Gips, overall, number one pick. The Bigeon Robinson, overall, number two pick. If you'd like to get in there and get a little hands on Ashton Gentie, you could probably dance with that as well. Because we know he's going to be the primary ball carrier out there. But whenever we thought he was going to be gone, suck for the Raiders as a whole. Happy. It's not long term. Preseason has become just holding your breath to us with you, buddy. Yeah. Every time we talk about or talk to a coach, you know, everybody has their different approach of how they approach in the preseason. Or even I think Christian McCaffrey, he said today, I think I saw the quote at least like, yeah, I planned to take a break during training camp and then ramp it back up during the season for a guy like that who gets so many touches like he's running back set or bell. Kyle's like, you have to get them to the game. And then through a season weekend, a week out, you got to be healthy on the injury note. I saw Christian because Alice also returned to practice for the Patriots as well, which is a big, you know, that was a big kind of storyline last couple of weeks. Huge deal. Whether he get paid or not is the Yukon, though. Now he's healthy as well. Good news. Yeah. That felt similar to the McCaffrey situation with the Chargers, where would he have practiced if it wasn't a joint practice because New Orleans been doing them the last two weeks? Who knows? But yeah, having him back is huge. That deal needs to get done though. Now that whether Spoon's been paid, Gonzo is the same exact agent as whether Spoon feels like one of those things where like, hey, the market set, let's just get this done. We do so for two years though, which is very nice. You know who else is coming out and saying deals need to get done? Who's that? Over in Pittsburgh, Joey Porter, Jr. Okay. Now he's got Jalen coming out saying, hey, Joey Porter, Jr. needs to get his deal done. Like this needs to be happening. He wasn't practicing whenever we were there. I think he was off to the side. That has been very, very quiet. But he's certainly been looming and lingering over the Pittsburgh Steelers entire conversation, especially yet. Hey, coach Mike Carter said, Pittsburgh Steelers, I am posse, with Joey Porter, Jr. As a cornerback, remain sideline on a physically unable to perform list. What did you hear here, tone out of this quote? Yeah, we definitely like Jalen came back to practice today. That was awesome. He did say that and all the secondary members are saying, you need to pay Joey Porter, Jr. Because they all want to play together. And he's one of the best corners in the NFL and it's huge for the defense this year. Yeah, I would like to pay Joey as well. I'm always on the side of pay the guy. Let's get it done with before the season so that everyone's happy and we can move forward and play. And yeah, there's there's some speculation whether this injury is contract related or not. I'm not going to say I'm not going to speculate, but just something that's going on right now. But I would love to see the entire secondary back. Is he supposed to get what is there some sort of projection on money for him? Because it's always like whether it's been like 33. Yeah, with the spoon guns or somewhere like 28 to 28 ish, somewhere at 20 to 30 somewhere around there. I hope that gets figured out. We're live. We're live. We're live. We're live. Hey, what's up with this softball game? How do we feel about it? A lot of the lads here are like, this could be a sweet team chemistry building operation. We're only seeing anybody hurt. So we just want to go directly to your source. What is your messaging about the softball game tonight to the lads and what do you expect? Yeah, it's going to be a hell of a time tonight. That's what I know. It's going to be a great bonding experience. Paters coming together, colds coming together. It's going to be awesome. Okay, so you love it. You're happy that the lads are going in. Who do you think will do well that we won't expect to do well? How do we think, how do we think Daniel Jones is going to be as a softball player? How do we think the lads are going to handle it? I think, I think Daniel Jones is going to be solid. I think he's going to be able to hit it well. I think he's going to be able to throw it real good. I mean, that little softball pitch you never know. It could be nice. Okay. Are you going to show up at this or no? I'm working right now. I got the clicker in my hand. Oh, yeah. Boom. That's what I'm fucking talking about. You let the boys play a little softball. Okay. Coach Steikens got the boys for you. Are you calling Phil Rivers? I guess his team just got smoked by Luke Ryan's boy. Did you see that? Yeah. I think his son got a little knee, but he's going to be all right. So no ligament damage there. That's good. That's breaking. All right, coach. We appreciate you, man. Good luck out there. I appreciate you. You should not be bummed out about us getting fucking smashed by the Falcons there. It looked so stadium. Yeah. That wasn't ideal. We got to be better there. You're the man. All right. I see your coach. Nice. Better call. He didn't know. Strang was fucking future of the Falcons is playing against the four stringers. I walk into the suite. It's great. See everybody. Good to be here. Man. Football is all the way back. I look out on field. I see Cooper Kush warming up. Can I go? Do we know? Wait a minute. They picked them up a couple weeks ago. Kush was on that team. Nick Folk jogs out. Nick Folk's our kicker. Excuse me. What? They got, they got Kush and Folk and who are we playing? I looked down to silent. Nobody. What? Forty-eighths. Sixty-two's. A lot of those. I've never in my life thought to myself. We got no shot here today. Turns out we didn't. Todd Goodson revenge game, too. Yeah. Yeah. And then this six-foot-five guy from a fucking Minnesota state more ahead. Yeah. What's his problem? Just pretty easy, sorry. She's unbelievable. Sounds like he's about to be the starting quarterback. Should be. That was for wouldn't give us a single second of that conversation. I would be shocked if he was the starting quarterback. I would. I would. After what I saw on Saturday, I'm going to look out for screen, brother. It's a nice quick release, man. Yeah. He can move. He can run. I mean, he ran right at me. It ran right at me. Whenever he ends up spiking it into our. So look at it. Shhhh. Yeah. It was. And then he says, you know what? How about this? I'm six-foot-five, 240 pounds. And who's going to tackle me out here? Nope. Absolutely not. Let me go ahead and get this thing. Boom. Boom. He's super jacked up. Big spike. Big spike. Big spike. Jack Strand. Yeah. So they're calling him. Yeah. Imagine him running the option with B. John. Yeah. They'd win 12 games. Ty, can you break down baseball a little bit more to me? Uh, the Milwaukee Brewers are about to win it all. Mm-hmm. Okay. They got the best record in baseball. Yes. But it's abnormal. Not only because they have the fastest pitching starter in the history of baseball, because the way they go about doing it is a little bit more, uh, college high school. Is that accurate? Or is that inaccurate? Um, I would say more just kind of old school. The way we talked about it is everything now is, uh, like exit velocity and things launch angle. Like teams want to hit homers. A lot of homers because there's been some sort of metric or statistic that has been like, if you can get decent pitching and you can hit a bunch of homeruns, it doesn't really matter how much you strike out. You can have a bunch of guys on your team batting like 215 or below that. Never used to be the case. You'd have three to four guys batting over 300 in a lineup. But the Brewers, they, they legit play old school baseball, uh, they, they play small ball. So they have the least amount of homeruns in the majors, but you can see right there. They lead the MLB in batting average walks and stolen bases. So they work a lot of counts, which means typically, now it doesn't always happen. But if you're working a lot of walks, uh, and you're getting deep into counts, you're usually knocking the starting pitcher out of the game earlier. So you're getting to a team's bullpen quicker, which, you know, those guys aren't, usually aren't as good as the starting pitcher. You'd rather get to the bullpen early in the game. They do it early in a series so the team's bullpen gets depleted. So they can't use their good guys and then when they are getting walks because they don't hit for power Like they're turning those walks into doubles because they're having guys steal and then you just need a single to score a run Or they're not afraid to to put a bunk down or anything like that and then they play unbelievable defense So essentially like there's there's really there's no deficit that they can't really come back from like oh and now times Well when you do the things that most teams do where you're trying you're trying to hit a bunch of homers of a team gets down Like the Yankees for example if they get down three to four runs That's very hard for them to come back from if they aren't hitting homers because guys are just striking out because they're trying to hit homers And they have a bunch of guys who are kind of boomer bus they could strike out or they could hit a homer More often than not these guys strike out the brewers can they're okay with hey, we need a walk here and then let's get a single You know, so we got guys on first and second now. Let's lay a bunk down So like they just they are constantly manufacturing runs moving guys around the bases and they can do that one through nine So there's really not any point in the lineup where they're worried like okay, like we're kind of fucked here We need this guy to basically hit a home run otherwise. This is gonna be a nothing at bat So you pair all that with having a guy like the Miz who You're expecting him to win every single time he goes out there There are very few pictures in the MLB who are like that but you look at that That's that about their bullpen - so Aaron Ashby. He is a pitcher in their bullpen. He has 13 wins this year That's unheard of like that that does not happen. So if the Miz It's very well known He's not pitching deep into games because they want him to be a hundred percent healthy by the time the playoffs come around Just because you got a guy throwing 105. You don't want to burn burn his arm out So they're comfortable with him just completely shutting teams down for five to six innings Hey, we trust our bullpen. We can go to them and they'll shut teams down But that's the they they just don't make mistakes They don't make mistakes and they don't really care that you're probably not gonna see very many of their highlights I'm like sports center or anything like that They just played the game the right way and there are so few teams that are willing to do that anymore Carcherbs really loves his team. Yes. This is this is what he's talking about when he says like he wants teams to play the right way Because most teams now like I said, it's like You get a guy on first base and the guy at the plate is maybe batting like 205 conventional wisdom would be like all right This guy sucks like he needs to lay down a bunch to move the runner over so that we can try try to score a run as opposed to all these teams are thinking Well, there's there's an off chance that this guy's gonna hit a homer and we'll we'll go up to nothing and then more often And not that guy strikes out then the next guy doesn't lay a bunk down So it's just like you're you're basically wasting the opportunities you get they don't waste any of their opportunities and any guy in their lineup is willing to lay a bunk down or you know, just I'm gonna be good with a single here instead of a homer very few team There's like maybe maybe three to four teams in the majors who play that way. Yeah, the race are one of them there They are obviously the A.O. least. Yeah, well, they're kind of they're They're grip on the A.O. least is yeah, it's shrinking. Yeah, but they still got a big ol grip on it No, there's three there's three games up on the Yankees They're about seven and a half up, you know like a week ago. They need to get their shit together Yeah, I agree. Hey, listen, being up, being up my guess, but who else plays like a brewers race was in the A.O. least They're just periods in baseball. Yeah, it's just in a major Well, the Marlins right now have a chance are kind of a couple games out. There's three games out from the In the wild car and lurking Pittsburgh Pirates are eight and a half games out of the wild card. Oh geez What that's that eight and a half? Yeah. Oh, I'm I yeah, we're in the hunt Yeah, okay When this graphic first got put together, I believe they were five. Yeah, then they got swept so yeah eight and a half Oh, I mean sure you could say that's in the hunt, but It's actually the glaring outlier on lurking. I haven't been in the hunt since also. It's it's on the edge of like just barely lurking Like not they need to sweep this whoever they play next right now. They need to sweep They need to go to 22 and eight now 22 and eight. No problem. You're shitty 30 and 30 and five. They're playing They're going to slam the eagle. I got a tough center. This is not the point of the season where you want to have a West Coast swing Well, we're gonna need to really get a our best coast swing That's kind of what we need right now and if I know anything about Skino he's telling the boys that right now tall Skino, he stopped showing the ball. I think Ashcraft might be the guy telling him. Yes, I right now. I love Ashcraft too. Hey, listen When the horses and the stallions are in the barn, you know you got a chance to have a winning barn I was at the Indiana State Ferrier stay. It's all out of gold ribbons There's no reason the Pittsburgh pirates can't get their own gold ribbon this year eight and a half games out Let's go boys put the fucking hay in the barn. Let's go to work. We need big bats, right? Yeah I mean the pirates are one of those teams who when they get hot they had one of the best offenses in baseball for a very long time They had a lot of homers and then they also break up. What happened in the all-star break? They just forgot how to play baseball. Oh, gosh Probably because Deroza saw the boys at the all-star game just kept turpin at him turpin at see that's no hanging for who's what's Dero saying about Skins has he saying anything on M.O.B. Just about I don't know. He wasn't the one saying that he's showing Okay, you make it a very true. He said like I shouldn't have made him throw 180 ratings for the world WB He didn't throw a hundred eights. He threw a standard mind. What's detective Dero saying? Not a second. He's showing his ball back here saying showing it back around set that I believe is that who it was? Maybe they came here. I wonder what building skin always right now is now the starting pictures put put themselves on the biggest buildings in Pittsburgh I remember how they were doing that gimmick. I wonder about building. Yes, can't help it's That's a big building huge building probably chance. He's down a strip. Maybe might have more of us Yeah, I'm a little small point of my it. Maybe the Heinz factory old run down too big. Yeah, old run down It's still young. He's got another 10 years the building. I mean, okay. Thank you They're saying mean stuff busking. I don't like it. Yeah, yeah, I think but I'm a stage like at the live celebration See about you. Yeah, I saw I saw a little bit of a depressing end to the live season I guess they haven't have they fully committed to saying it's over as a pretty That was one point oh, that was 1.0 2.0 is coming to the mass exodus is about to begin well I did see the finals were here in Indianapolis and congrats to the winner as everybody want crazy Wow holy way more than I would have thought they are me to the people in there I say obviously took people out. Oh, okay. I mean maybe there's a chance AJ found this and said I think this is worth a look AJ. What was most impressive to you here? Well, there's another angle of them. You can see the guys on stage You know terror hat and he's not not the most excited guy to be up on stage. It looks like he kind of pops off the back and Doesn't really know what to do. But yeah, they did the so the the people that were what is this TNT I guess I see in the top right they were zoomed out and this this was on for about a less than a half a second right here I would assume yeah, he can't let this one out, but it was a lot of people were laughing at the demise of live Still believes they can survive right and there's some yeah, but a lot I didn't know that thing. They're still talking about it A lot of players are trying to get out of there to get to the pj obviously the pj in the middle of their biggest weeks happening Congratulations. The windom Clark front of the program go windom very windom when it gets a big-time win Goes birdie birdie birdie down a stretch to go ahead and win himself a playoff and Obviously Roy McRoy was in the conversation Patrick Cantley made things a little bit interesting wooded in through the weekend Was obviously hot. It was a fun weekend of golf. Windom Clark ends up winning people saying he was collapsing in free fall And it was gonna give it up and he was gonna be a massive choke job fox. Yeah, I heard you already mumbling it in our group Text about what windom Clark was doing on Sunday. Instead he pulls it out the other way and gets a huge win Yeah, 100% he had a massive lead going into Sunday He didn't have a single birdie until this one on 16 right here and the whole before that on 15 Rory had a chance to take the lead easy birdie putt.

Thank you Scotty for going out there and playing in the middle of the heat for us Obviously loves golf loves the opportunity Windom Clark winning the player of the year would be fascinating because all the players have laughed and said Scotty's been top five in every single tournament Basically, but Windom's got a couple trophies got a couple purses love when golf is good felt like it was this weekend It's kind of kind of becoming a guy kind of becoming a guy We saw we can't be young earlier this year when I mean obviously the game is better more times when guys step up And kind of being that spotlight, but he for him to dial in 16 17 18 birdie birdie birdie down the stretch I was unbelievable, but yeah, they started off rough I thought Rory's gonna make always kind of like when he gets very very interesting down the stretch But I love that he closed it out between the ears man absolute doll and now the tour championship is coming up in yeah Ten million dollars goes to the winner and whoever wins this is the champion.
