America leads the world in medicine development.

It matters. We get new medicines first, nearly three years faster.

Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home,

and not relying on other countries keeps us safe.

But China is racing to overtake us.

Will we let them or will we choose to stay ahead?

When America leads, America cures.

Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

We're leaving today and entering a world of Mickey Mouse waving,

princess meeting and greetings.

Lightsaber clashing.

The toilet's on tower of terror dropping.

Banshee flying.

Space mountain launching.

Galaxy rewinding.

What's the whole network galaxy rewinding?

Fireworks igniting.

World of other worlds.

No, Greg Cody is hovering over the penalty minute thing.

This would be the most delayed penalty in the history of delayed penalties.

What are you threatening to press there?

What are you doing?

What are you threatening to press?

No, don't do that.

Minor penalty, two minutes.

Accidental racism.

Oh, yeah.

Wow.

Oh, yeah.

That's how we're starting today, huh?

How about me and my dad getting haircuts yesterday,

without knowing we were getting haircuts?

Couple of Cody's just randomly getting haircuts.

Yeah, well, you knew I was because I asked you about the number.

That's true, I forgot about the hardware.

Wait, hold on a second.

Like, you showed up separately to the barber?

Oh, we don't go to the same place.

Oh, fuck.

Yeah, would you get it?

My dad goes to supercuts.

Why not? Why don't you guys go to the same place?

Why not?

Why not? Why don't you guys go to the same place?

Why are you making fun of that?

That's a 20-buck haircut.

Hold on, that's true.

That's where you go?

Yeah.

20 dollars.

Couple of Cody's literally cutting it up.

Yeah, there you go.

It's actually 23 bucks, which is an outrage.

They're 20 minutes.

It costs more than a dollar, a minute.

You still tip in like it's the 90s?

Yeah, what's the tip situation?

Surprise you're a supercuts man.

I always had you as a guy that went to an old-fashioned place with a barber pull outside.

You get a beer.

Maybe some people singing a barber shop quartet.

Yeah.

I don't want to be around the guy who slaps the leather strap with a...

That's it, that was my next thought.

But dude, that sharpens his straight edge razor with a leather strap and takes it straight to your fists.

That's where I go, oddly enough.

I don't know that guy.

He could be a serial killer.

You're done where he's doing the razor thing.

And then I'm like, he could kill me.

Yeah, I think that occasionally.

And then I Google it.

How many times does this happen?

Barbers you can trust him.

Well, sweetie Todd.

When's the last time Greg, you got a hot shave at the barber?

Well, you know what supercuts does now.

They put the hot towel on you afterward.

Wow, they spared no expense.

I mean, it's nice.

Do those towels come cleaned or do you know?

You can tell.

I'm like, this is the last time.

You can smell the mercy, man.

Oh, this smells disgusting.

No, I think it was a clean towel.

Let us down.

Let us down.

Now everyone's falling over him.

Life the new kid in the town.

Like town.

Here's the town.

There's only one reason so many teams

would want to interview you.

You could say one out.

It could be your number one offense.

I knew that you'd pour it back.

Here's nothing to do.

I honestly couldn't believe Greg Cody's report yesterday from a source that he was so

defensive about the sourcing that he told us exactly where the source told him the

information that the dolphins were wondering whether McDaniel got so many

interviews because he's black. Well, don't put words in my mouth. No, that's what

you reported. No, it is not. What? Mike was shocked. What do you mean it's not? You

didn't say black. He said because he qualifies for the room. Right. But that's the

same thing. I mean, he matters framing matter. No, it doesn't. That's the same thing.

Those things are the same thing. No, Ron Rivera got an interview. Hispanic. No, but

McDaniel didn't get the interviews because he's Hispanic or because he's black. But

Cody reported that yesterday with his mind. Would you quit that? Well, you did that

yesterday. You said that a dolphin source wondered to you. Wonder to me. Wonder to me. There's

no way to know. Okay, there's no way to know. Okay, use your common sense. He qualifies

under the Rooney rule. He's an available coach who's pretty good, particularly as an offensive

fight. Use my common sense. He's white. Not according to the Rooney rule. That's not true.

Now, it's not. It's not a be careful. That's more racist than what you do. Yeah, that's

really bad. Honestly, genuinely. Apologize. Seriously, you need genuinely. Apologize quickly.

His father is black. Jack. He's not. Finally, I'm sorry. There you go. Okay. For both the

comment and the confusion, the reporting that should have been national news is that you

said that somebody wondered that and that can't be possible. Not that somebody wondered it.

It can't be possible that Mike McDaniel would qualify under the Rooney rule for accurately

being able to be something that helps with diversity for minorities because McDaniel's

getting the interviews that used to go to the coaches who would complain. Why am I having

to fill out a form about whether or not I'll work on Sundays? This is not a serious interview

we're doing. Right. And Bulletin, the Rooney rule doesn't really work well. It's great

in concept, but teams misuse it all the time. I'll give you a quick example. The Miami Dolphins

interviewed their two black candidates immediately before hiring Jeff, Jeff Hathley. Okay.

Immediately before. Now, I'm not, I'm not saying they were, they were token interviews,

but the implication is there and teams do that all the time. So if you're Mike McDaniel,

you have twice as much chance of gaining interest to be interviewed. If you all so qualify under

the Rooney rule, it makes common sense. The common sense factor is all that my source said.

And by the way, I heard that from another reporter who covers the Dolphins full time. Not with the

mic. That double source. Is that double sourced? Is that now double sourced? Because I think hearing

it from another reporter doesn't make it double sourced. Unless that reporter has a sword.

I'm just telling you that I had heard it before. I approached the dolphin executive.

I don't know if you understand the way journalism reporting goes, but when you have the information

you come from two different places, that makes the alleged report. But it's not a report because

I'm I'm I'm passing along a subject. You heard from weak sources. I heard from a dolphin source

that the suspicion is one of the reasons Mike McDaniel was so popular in interviews is that he

also qualified under the Rooney rule in addition to being a qualified candidate as a great offensive

mind. I am surprised that that has not yet become national news because it was actually

pro football network reported it pro football network. Yeah. PFN. Where is that? That's some website.

Yeah. It is. I can't confirm. It is some website. Thank you. Okay. Some website. That doesn't seem

like great sourcing. But it is some website. Yeah. If you have initials, your legit. If you call

yourself PFN, it means your legit. The big story of the day in sports is Bill Bella check not

making the hall of fame and a whole lot of people are angry about this. Do you know how hard it is to

get Jimmy Johnson to be this kind of angry on social media? By the way, pro football network has

1.4,000 followers on Twitter. There you go. So it hasn't become national news yet. It's just a

random website. I'm with it is some website. There's nothing that my dad took that as a victory. Yeah.

No, I'd rather not be reported. No, the 1.4,000. You're like, yes, see? What do you mean you'd rather

not be reported? You reported it. I don't consider speaking in a conversation as reporting it.

You said a source told me like, what is that's reporting? A source. A source talk on a bigger show

than pro football. I get what it says though. Don't you ever like accidentally say something here

that may be too transparent and then like someone seizes on it, aggregates it and you're like,

that's not what I meant. Really? I wish you just kind of skimpast this one. I'm surprised I have

to explain this to Levitard who used to be a journalist. When a source tells me the suspicion

within the dolphins or within this source go on is that this may have been a factor. Not

that it was because there's no way to prove it was a factor. If you asked the Miami dolphins or

any team, hey, did you really seriously consider these two black candidates or was it a runny rule

thing? You're not going to get a truthful answer in all cases. So when the dolphins suspect

that Mike McDaniel got more interviews probably than was imagined, maybe it was the fact that he

also qualified under the rule. Okay, but what you're reporting is news. It's surprising to me that

you don't understand that it's news when you report it from a source. If someone in the dolphins

organization thinks obviously it's not provable, right? If someone in the dolphins organization

thinks that that's what happened there, that's news. Members of the heat organization thought that

Lebron quit in the last finals before before he left for Cleveland. That's news. If they think

he did, yeah. And they got very mad at Dan for saying hugely pissed. And as they should have,

I wouldn't want that out. But that's news when when people inside an organization that you're

lending your credibility to their credibility, I'm surprised that we have to explain any of this to

you as the reporter on this. Right. Anyway, moving on to the Bella check story. You guys are

playing tennis. I'm surprised. I have to explain this to you. No, I'm surprised. He's a surprise

back. He's surprised. He's just that. He's that bad at reporting news over the years because he's

been giving it. No, he doesn't do news. That was a gesture. He doesn't do news. He has columns. He's

not in the information business. That's exactly. Mike is exactly right. What I reported was

conjecture, not news. Okay. If it's news, I'm going to I'm going to either write it in the

herald or I'm going to tell one of our dolphin guys. We'll put it on your pod or say it on. No,

I wouldn't. I didn't think I didn't and don't think it's a big deal. Okay. The conjecture is the

news. Yeah. Now you're being racist. Well, he's right color. Whoa, I don't think it's a big deal.

It is. Here's how you hedge your bets. Say they believe it might have been a contributing factor.

That's exactly right. But that's not what you said. That is what he's saying now. All right,

moving on. Please Jimmy Johnson says angrily of the Bill Bella check thing on Twitter. This

is just wrong. Number two winning all time. More super balls than anyone unimaginable. Number of

division championships. Lots of small jealous voters. I would like to know the names of the

assholes who did not vote for him. They are too cowardly to identify themselves. Please,

if you did not vote for Bill Bella check identify yourself many explanation points probably too

much of a coward hide behind your secret ballot and then secret ballot is capitalized. Is there

anyone arguing the other side of this? Have you guys have you guys heard someone take the position?

I understand why it is Bill Bella check is not in the Hall of Fame on the first ballot.

Look to your left calls coming from inside the house. Well, but Bill Polian is it's being reported

that Bill Polian is the one with the bias here and also the integrity of saying Cheater Cheater.

That's the reason and it's the reason that I don't have my baseball Hall of Fame vote. It's the

reason that Greg Cody is so comfortable moralizing about this person to first ballot Hall of Famer.

But this person's not a first ballot Hall of Famer. Right. Because it's not a museum. It's a

home of morals. Why didn't you finish the riddle? Cheater Cheater. I don't know. The pumpkin eater. Dan,

Bill Polian used the cheater cheater pumpkin eater defense. Please. Why does he know by the way?

What is Bill Polian? No damn six time executive of the year. I got lucky with Peyton Manning.

But six time executive of the year. Yeah, but he did something more racist than you and that's tough.

That's tough. Wow. Mike McDaniel has been here for three years as a mixed race man.

How is Bill Bella check doing something? How is Bill Polian doing something more racist than what

I did? Well, the large rally and be a wide receiver, remember that? I'll let Zez cook. The people that

are caping up from not being a first ballot Hall of Famer universally are fans of other teams in

the division. And I've seen the list of first ballot head coaches. They all appear worthy. If

Bill, all the people better than Bella check is Bill Bella check isn't what a first ballot head coach

looks like. I don't know what that is. Don't know that Brady. Don't know that Brady.

But loser before Brady, loser after braze, a loser at UNC. You want to talk, you want to talk

about coaching your way out of the Hall of Fame? See what happened in USC? See what happened to the

end of his time in New England? Okay, let's go to some more credible sources on this subject that are

slightly less biased than dolphin fan Jonathan Zazlow. Okay, we got, we gathered that you're enjoying

Bill Bella check. Did they? Okay, I don't think that many people believe that the committee got

it right. But the parts that I want to parse with you guys is we obviously don't know football.

A fraction of the way that Bill Polian does, we cannot assess how the guards played in the game

that we just watched over the weekend that decided everything. Nobody here understands even after

Ted Wells did that $5 million report, what it is that the deflate gate advantage would or wouldn't

be. But clearly, Bill Polian thinks that it's what toppled Peyton Manning. Bill Polian thinks

that whatever cheating that Bill Bella checked did is enough to, I don't think this is just

petty-ness with rivalry. Do you? I'm assuming, I'm assuming that he's not guilty of simply saying,

I'm a small human being. I recognize that he's a Hall of Famer. I assume first ballot that he is

applying a moral standard to this. No cheaters in my Hall of Fame. Am I wrong to assume that he

feels like he knows how much of an advantage the cheating gave Bill Bella checked to therefore

make him a Hall of Famer. Barry Bonds isn't in the Hall of Fame because everyone thinks he cheated.

It's obvious that Barry Bonds is the best player to ever live top five if you want to argue about it

statistically, even without the steroids. We've given the stat before. It's one of the most

amazing in sports. If you take away all of the numbers from all of his MVP seasons, he still has

400 home runs and 400 stolen bases and no other player has done that. He's not in the Hall of Fame

because everyone thinks he cheated. And now Bill Bella checked is not a first ballot Hall of Famer

because blank. The point is Bill Pollyon wants to make this moment Bill Bella checking the Hall of

Fame about the cheating, correct? Well, hold on a second. Pollyon is flat out denying his involvement.

Yes. Like this story came out that Pollyon is the one who's kind of leading the charge that he

should be punished because of spygate. And then you had several reporters who got a hold of Pollyon

last night. And Pollyon is saying it's flat out false. But then also you're getting this where

Pollyon added he could not remember with 100% certainty if he voted for Bella chick. How do you know

that? He was 95% sure. He couldn't remember what he voted. Andrew Jones, I mean, what are we doing here?

Yes, six years ago, but he's denying it. He's denying that he was part of it.

In sports championships aren't one alone. The one with the right people around you.

hang that you have with your friends. Maybe it's an NBA game. You get a tax, hey, come over,

you want to watch the game and maybe you're like, ah, I don't know. I kind of just wanted to stay

home and then you think about it. After your buddy hits you up and you know just the thing that'll

make that regular hang that regular midweek hang around the basketball game into a special time,

into a Miller time. That's right, this happened to me just last week. I grabbed a six pack of Miller

light set I was on my way and next thing you know we're arguing about rotations like we're on

the coaching staff, yelling about a miss call and the games coming down to the final possession.

My wife and I are staying home tonight. We're watching the debate on TV. We're going to do some

special for David. It's a it's a nice day for me so far. Stu got's. That sounds like a not a

super nice night. The debate. Old people love that shit. Yeah. That's exactly right. Yeah.

That's exactly right. Old people do love that shit. And I'm old now. I can't tell you anymore.

This is the down lebertard show with this two gods.

This is petty. Yes. It's people with an axi-grine. It's like, okay, I understand the

the super bowl tape that was burned in a fireplace of the alleged recorded practice and deflate gate.

Deflate gate. Remember when Bill Bella check had that press conference. You put the onus on

Tom Brady. I don't think anybody's going to hold that against Tom Brady. This is largely media,

largely with an axi-grine against Bill Bella check. And it's unfortunate that he has to be punished

by gatekeepers here. Yeah, I do think it's unfortunate because I believe him to be the most

successful coach in the history of the sport. And you want to say like, what has he done without

Tom Brady? He won two super bowls without Tom Brady as a defensive coordinator as a pro coach

under Bill Parcells, one of those with Jeff Hosteltler. He has quite the freaking resume.

And it's BS that he's not first bound. These people are all capable of high school pettingnesses.

Okay, no matter how old they are. Bill Pelley is 83 years old. It's an age where you could

forget if you voted for Bill Bella check. I know you couldn't. You're not 83 yet. 83, I found

with my parents who were both in that realm. You can absolutely at 83 forget some very simple

things with age. Let me get this straight. The vote just happened. Okay, we're not asking Bill

Polley into recall something from five, seven, eight years ago. The vote just happened. I'm with

my dad. And you're telling me Bill Polley and can't recall. He's pretty sure. He shouldn't be voting

then. How do you watch the Trump press? I also agree with that. He shouldn't be voting. He can't

remember. If he can't go through a cognitive test of, did you vote for Bill Bella check?

16 minutes ago. Jeremy, please. If you can't recall if you did something 16 minutes ago, you

should not be. I agree. He's 95% sure he voted for Bella. 95%. Sure, I had a hamburger for dinner

last night. So the place though that I land on this as we as we talk it out because I do believe

that no matter your age, especially among men, men specifically, men with ego and sports,

even more so, you can be high school kind of petty into your 80s. And Jerry Jones, it's been

reported is keeping Bob Kraft out of the Hall of Fame. And I wouldn't be surprised if Bob Kraft

who made a 10 part documentary about how Bill Bell chick wasn't responsible for all of those

really boiling that 10 part docu series down. I don't, you know, there are some people out there

that would push back on that being to take away on the 10 part series. Oh, you think Bill Bell

check enjoyed how he was how he was chronicled in the 10 part series made by Kraft with Apple.

I did not see any of the 10 parts. I just know that there is a people that book up against that

notion. I have heard a very few of them. Maybe if they are at the pro football network, it seems

pretty obvious that that was a hit job by Kraft because he had the means to do that to Bella

check at a time we weren't soiling Bella checks legacy. Like it was fairly shocking to watch the

truth told that way. And it was clear that Kraft was responsible, but it's been reported.

Jerry Jones is keeping Bob Kraft out of the Hall of Fame. When the sleuths, the poblatories of

the world go sniffing around. If it's not Paulian, if it's not Kraft, then who? There's no reason.

He could still be Paulian. Paulian could still vote for Bill Bell check and also be a respected

voice in the room saying, Hey, let just for your consideration, I don't want to be the only

guy in the room that says this, but he did have the two cheating scandals. So do with that what you

will. By the way, we don't know the number, but there were at least 11 people who didn't vote

Bell check. It wasn't like it needs to be unanimous in Paulian, so we don't know the actual number,

but we know at least 11 people did not vote. And so is there any sane, reasonable human being

without biases saying that that makes sense? Is there any? Can you give me a person publicly

putting their voice without biases who has their sanity still saying that it makes sense in any

world for Bill Bell check to not be a Hall of Famer? Can someone give me a name? No.

No. And like everyone. So everyone who's saying, ha, ha, ha, is somebody who is biased and they're

just mad because they're from the AFC East. And Jimmy Johnson is right. The voters who voted against

Bell check owe it to the league, to fans, to name themselves, to raise their hand and say, yep,

I'm one of them and here's why. That's why all ballots in every sport, all Hall of Fame ballots

should be made public. It shouldn't be, it baseball leaves it up to the voter whether or not to

make your ballot public. And by the way, the halls of fame should not be moral halls. And I hope you

didn't suggest that I think that if I thought that I wouldn't vote, I wouldn't have voted for

Barry Johnson, Roger. Well, originally you didn't though, right? I don't think you have since the

beginning. I didn't the first year I voted, but you took a moral stand. You did that. Okay,

it's because as I've said many times, I put a distinction on whether you're a first ballot.

You took a moral stand. It wasn't because they weren't first ballot Hall of Famers. It's because

you penalized them for your morally thinking. They were less deserving of first ballot, not because

of their merit or numbers, because of the morals and then voter vote. Yeah, but you just, okay,

you changed your mind, but you said you've never done it and you did do it. The first time you got

a vote. Samantha, it is Samantha. I've explained this many times. The first ballot Hall of Famers

sacrosanct. Okay, I don't think spy gate is enough of a smudge to not vote for a guy who wants

that's what they just did here. They just did the same thing you did with your first vote of a

Hall of Famers. I object to the, let's look at them separately, not lump them together. I think

there's no excuse, no reason plausible to not vote for Bella Check on the first ballot. Okay,

I don't have a Hall of Fam vote for Canton. If I did, I would have stood up. This would have been

my entire speech on behalf of Bill Bella Check's candidacy. You just got it locked and loaded,

ready to go. He won six Super Bowls. Thank you. Good night. And then the vote takes place.

Everybody raises their hands. It's 50 to nothing. Well, no, but on the other side, somebody on the

other side of these aren't museums. These are moral palaces. Somebody on the other side would say,

I've got only one thing to say. He cheated many times. Okay, you know what's going to happen,

because a lot of voters do agree with me. You know he's going to make the Hall of Fam next year.

I don't know. In his second year of eligibility, he will make the Hall of Fame. I don't think anybody

would would doubt that. I doubt it. Look, I think everybody was shocked by this. So you saying,

if any, if I had asked yesterday on the show, do you guys believe there's a one percent chance

that Bill Bella Check is not inducted into the Hall of Famer nominated tomorrow? None of you would have

said there was a one percent chance of that happening. And look, it just happened. I might have,

I might have raised my hand behind one percent, because Spygate's a real thing. Okay,

it's not enough for me to have not voted for him, but Spygate, it cost the team a first round

draft pick. The team was fine. $500,000. Bella Check personally was fine. $250,000. Deflate gate was

not a big deal in my opinion. Spygate was. So the question is, how big a deal was it? Well,

it had to have been a big deal. Deflate gate pretty got suspended multiple games. It had to have

been a big deal. Okay. I'm speaking about my opinion. I take those seasons away. He still has a

first ballot Hall of Fame resume. And it seems as though people just want to check Bill Bella Check.

See, go on. I feel like, yes, and head as he go checked enough over these slides two years.

I know what we do here. We print out the ballot. That ballot that was voted on a few weeks ago

with Bella Check on it. We give it to my dad. He votes for who he would vote for in that

the end of the show. We see if he remembers. Fine. I accept that challenge. All right,

let's do that. Put it on the poll. Ken, was it, what was it? Two weeks ago that the vote was

Ken put it on the poll at Levitard show. Can every 83 year old be expected to remember how he

or she voted two weeks ago at Levitard show? People always talk about New Year's resolutions,

you know, eat better, work out more, etc, etc. We might still be early in 2026, but I'm sure most

of you have already broken your resolutions. Me, I'm still going. My resolutions are simple,

be comfortable, especially out the ring. If you know me, you know that hockey isn't just something

That's why you Rack. Don Lebertard. This guy comes in as the next Wayne

Gretzky. His nicknames include the Chosen One and MacGezus. Okay. He's a great player. He scores a lot

of goals. He scores a ton of assists. But it hasn't translated to making Edmonton a powerhouse in

the league. They're in the finals. Two gods. What's your nickname for him? Macover rated.

How did it get out? Because the guys who voted, the results are not supposed to come out yet.

And the guys who voted were just finding out last night from whoever, I think it was Don Vannata,

right? Whoever came out or Seth Wickersham, who came out with the report they didn't get in.

You could probably narrow it down to who had that information and leaked it. But it's got to

be shocking information. Whoever's been holding onto that has probably known that they have this

enormous bit of news since they've had it. Because I don't even know. I'm like Cody, of course,

after you know, you're staring at a at a at the sea. And what emerges from the ocean is a

spaceship that spits aliens at you. Cody's there to say, yeah, I knew that was going to happen.

That I would have told you there was a 1% chance of that happening. So he's here to tell you

that Bella check that he's not shocked by this. But I really don't I really don't feel like

anybody was thinking that there was the possibility that Bill Bella check under any circumstances

would not immediately be a Hall of Famer as soon as he qualified. Like I don't I didn't think that

today or this conversation was a reasonable possibility. Okay, once again, you're putting words in

my mouth. If I say I would have said yes to a 1% chance, what that means is I am 99% shocked.

Okay. I am 99% shocked. When I'm saying there's a 1% chance, it's that it doesn't surprise

me in the least that a Bill Polian, a Robert Kraft may have called in a few chips,

a few favors with reporters, right? Because it's mostly reporters. It's not all reporters.

It's 50 people clearly got Polian in there. It's not it's 50 people. I don't know just so that we

let me frame this correctly. It's mostly former NFL media reporters and includes Tony Dungey and

Bill Polian, but not every owner. So just so you know, it's 50 people largely it's former reporters.

And that's a small electorate. The baseball electorate is like 450 people. When you only have 50 people,

in my opinion, you're more subject to collusion among the voters. Oh, but Greg, though, the thing

that Zaz is saying about 11, that's insane to me. It's a lot of people. You need 80%. It's 20%.

It's 20% of the people are sitting here telling you Bill Bella chicks not a Hall of Famer.

At least that. In what world? First ballot, not a first ballot Hall of Famer. In what world?

And that to me says collusion. Listen, if you have 11 people who did not vote for a six-time

Super Bowl winner, that suggests collusion to me. That suggests that voters got together before

the vote and said, you know what? Let's keep them out. Here's what else is interesting to me in this.

The vote is to be announced February 5th. The news leaks and there is outrage and the

pro football Hall of Fame looks embarrassed and should be. Will they take another vote on this?

Will they announce Bill a check February 5th as a Hall of Famer and then claim that

and then claim that the report was false? I think that's a possibility. Will the

Revo completely? You think that's the one? Chads? I think that's the possibility.

You think this is outrageous enough that they will do a cover-up in order to

a recall. Journalists. Fellow journalists. I think there's a possibility. I wouldn't predict

what's going to happen. I wouldn't bet that it's going to happen. One percent possibility.

You'd be 99 percent shot. I think there's a 5 percent possibility. This is being revealed on

February 5th. That's when it comes out. One embarrassing day for the NFL. No one's going to be

talking about that. Whenever it's talking about Yanis to the Eat, February 5th, that's the NBA

trade that's finally bringing that ball up. Do me the favor. Jeremy, get the hell out of here

and go to work. I agree. I agree. Go to work on an NBA trade board here so you can finally do

something that you want to do and I can get to you on NBA trade conversation because I know Mike

wants to get to the University of Miami stuff too because they're going to be loaded again

because they're whining and dining the best players that Duke has after just stealing them at

crime 112 with Edger and James. But the things that are happening here with Bella check over

the last six years are stupifying and I'd like our guest bookers to go after a hall of fame voter

that can give me some insight into this into what was happening in the room because people in

the absence of information people are going to go right to the conspiracies and it's going to be

Bob Kraft and Bill Polian and who did this. But if it's 11 reporters, one of these hall of

fame voters, one of these 50 people would be able to tell us what happened here. Let's go

after one of those people and see if we can get slightly more information about this within

the next couple of days. Before I get to the dolphins and Jeff Hathley saying the dolphins will not

be soft as long as he's in charge. I'll get to that sound in a second. Mike Ryan yesterday

obviously to me got carried away when he compares what's happening with Mensa to Kurt flood just

because Kurt flood to me represents as a name. I don't even know actually if Kurt flood was that

good of a baseball player or many of his stats. He was okay, but Kurt flood represents to me a

symbol of commerce and business that rings and echoes for 50 years because people know that name

of a 70s baseball player because he changed the economics of the game. May I walk it back then?

I thought that maybe the nation's second leading passer an ACC champion going to another ACC

school might be a tipping point on collective bargaining in which you can invoke Kurt flood because

he was an agent of change. I just think the NCAA is still making so much money that they are

willing to keep this thing going, which is shoddy and bad. Quite honestly, I want the sport to be

collectively bargained. I think things like Mensa happening help force that hand when Davo is out

there calling for collective bargaining. People should listen. That is a national champion head coach

who is pretty old school, but I don't think the NCAA is going to budge because the gravy train

is too good. I appreciate actually what you did with that because in real time we had a seismic move

in the business of college football that the local team, look no matter how you want to frame this,

the ACC champion, a team that has won an ACC championship game before Mario Christmas ball has played

in one, just had what I regard as its two best players stolen by a bigger batter program that has

always been bigger and better. Football and is now bigger and better at business and that's Duke.

Duke's got graduates with money. Duke just lost its two players. I like to talk to many

Diaz about how he feels about this and Miami is going to be loaded next year because they just

took the two best players from the team that won the conference that Miami couldn't play in the

championship of. Here's what Miami has on offense. Yes, they're losing Mark Helbel and CC

Mauanoa on the edges, Jackson Cantwell, who is being mentored by Joe Thomas as a five star

recruit. I assume he's going to play right away and you have to trust that Miraball

and company will coach up that offensive line, but at the star positions. Darian Menza is the ACC's

leading passer second in the nation behind Drew Mestemaker, right? And doesn't turn the ball over

very much either. And in a training ACC champion, you have the ACC's leading rusher in Mark Fletcher,

who can also mitigate what's going on along that offensive line, which we assume might take a

slight step back because he's the best pass blocking back in the nation. And an absolute dog,

as Tony has pointed out off Mike and not one but two thousand yard receivers, one in Cooper

Barcade, who's coming over from Duke and Malachi Tony. So they were at dinner last night. Malachi

Tony was at prime 112 with Edger and James and the rest of this recruiting class that just fell

out of the sky because it's a much easier way to scout if you can just go to the teams in your

conference and be like, well, they're pretty good. I'd like that guy and I like that guy. You're

making that seem a lot easier than it actually is. Like credit to the staff. That's like these are

the guys that we want. We're going to collaborate. We're going to make ourselves super appealing to

these guys and we're going to get it done. And it's going to be messy. Not everybody has a stomach

for it. Miami does. We saw this when he was here a couple weeks ago too. And I certainly had not

seen him in a very long time. I love that Edger and James is like this elder statesman for the

hurricanes now. It's so cool. Yeah. I'm not even sure he went with the caravan

that they got a police escort from the campus to prime 112. I mean, he might have just been at

prime 112, which is a possibility. I saw all the videos. Yeah. The you signs hand signals

probably need a little work. We'll work on that. My name takeaway is how does Malachi Tony already

look 10 pounds heavier? Like he looks beefier. Look at those biceps. This is a player that was

looks small and growing boys young. He's going to get bigger. How do you swing a police escort

to a restaurant? I'm just curious. It's a big professional franchise. You make one call.

It's the University of Miami. Look, man, the connection that this school and what it did to

raise generations of football, loving canes is super unusual. Not many teams have Hall of Famers

like Edger and James whining and dining the recruits are being mascots like Michael Irman on

the sideline. Like the connection here is strong. Let's hear Edger and James here at dinner with

these people just saying, look, we got a new squad. We got our quarterback. We got our season.

We got tonight. We're going to be back. Here we got miles. We're going to take good care of us.

Miles is like, whoa. Good job. My miles getting in there. That hoodie that men's is wearing is over a

thousand dollars. Peter Rees looked it up on Keynes Insight. Let's go ahead and if you would please

just get the halfly sound for me here because he was asked by Peter Shreger about the Miami

Dolphins reputation of being soft. Oh, I aired. You know what? That was portal talk and we have new

imaging for the portal talk and we didn't play the new imaging for the portal talk.

There it is.

Whenever we're talking portal, he's there talking. I feel like I'm in a portal right now.

Wait until the very end of it. I thought it might be distracting the first time. I thought I

needed a little introduction as opposed to just this falling out of the sky. So that is just

portally. Yeah, it is portal. It is portal. It is portal. Yeah, it's good. Well, yes.

You're not sure I'll tell you in a second. I think Miami's going to be good. I think they're

going to be pretty good. Pretty fun to watch too. I've been watching so much menza tape. He's

pretty good. Me too. I've actually have two. You've got like four minutes. You can just go on

YouTube now. Highlights. Mensa. Boom. Six minute clip. I want to be surprised.

If you're if you're a Duke football fan, you're wondering what the hell's going on in college

football. And you turn around to six of your friends. They did us dirty.

We still have basketball. That's where we got it. We took the boosters from them. That's true.

That's where the settlement money is going to. They're basketball team. You got us there.

That's all right. Stop. Kids decided they didn't want to go to that school anymore. I have

every right because they're not employees. Before we get to the halfly sound though, can you guys put

up our new imaging on all of the heads, the foreheads, the four of the four heads who are running

the dolphins now so that we can have new imaging for dolphin talk. That is video instead of audio

because we've got some substantive foreheads running the dolphins. And one of them is saying,

as though the head of the dolphins is now saying, you know why we're not going to be soft because

of me. I'm going to make sure that we're not soft. I'll play that sound for you next.
