Hello beautiful people, and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome.
On this ESPN, we're doing a new Thursday, March 12, 2016.
This program begins now.
Four!
Are the greatest.
We're so incredibly lucky that we get a chance to chat about it every single day.
And obviously, football is our sport that we cover the most, but a sport that has come
into our hearts and come into our minds and come into our lives was almost eliminated.
We were just in the blink of an eye until last night when the pizons of America that
represent Italy, obviously, in World Baseball Classic, get a gigantic win over Mexico and
secure a spot in the quarter finals for Team USA Baseball.
I knew fan to baseball, obviously I grew up in Pittsburgh.
The pirates are ass.
Maybe not this year.
Optimism.
Yeah.
But for the last 50 years, it felt like the pirates have been asked.
So whenever you have the penguins in your city and you have the stealers in your city
and they're actually trying and they're winning, it's hard to kind of get caught up in baseball,
especially when you have ADD and a dad who says we're out there at baseball is disgusting.
We're going to protest baseball because of the parts.
So I never played baseball.
Never got into baseball.
Then we're starting to meet some of these baseball players.
Paul Schienz played here in Indianapolis.
Got a chance to go watch him live.
It's like, wait, that's a big monster of a man.
Yeah.
He's controlling his entire ballpark right now with that ball.
And then you start seeing the talent.
You start seeing the culture.
You start seeing what they do night in, night out, they're traveled.
The rock star like lifestyle.
There's a lot to like about baseball.
But once again, unless you're kind of tied into it, it's hard to get into it.
We got into it with America now with World Baseball Classic.
They're incredibly hospitable to us.
They're very nice to us.
I haven't got a full inning against Clayton Kershaw.
Make contact a couple of times gone on base within an infield single, which, nah, isn't
a field single.
Okay.
The case got chance to play against them, fell in love with this team.
And we lose this Italian team.
I don't even know they did the baseball Italy people.
I had no idea.
I know they did soccer, incredible food in the Italians have incredible, incredible conversation
to the cultures, obviously, always alive.
And then you don't even think about the history of baseball and the Italians.
I get you go all the way back to the malls.
Yeah.
Right.
I mean, there's a lot of Italians that are playing.
They're a wagon.
They beat America.
America has no idea that they needed to win.
That game to kind of advance in quarter finals that America was going to get eliminated
after pool playing.
We weren't even even going to get into the big dance of our own tournament that we were
creating.
I'm out on baseball.
Plus, I bet $5,000 on a mice 11, aren't they?
I'm out on baseball.
Last night, the Italians brought me right back in.
That's right.
You did.
That was the worst bet of all time people were saying.
That was the moment where I had to really think about myself and my, the problem with Team
USA baseball.
They're supposed to be the best team ever assembled and now all of a sudden we're not even
making out of pool play.
Can it is about to make it out of pool play?
In baseball, we're not going to make it out.
Turns out that doesn't matter anymore.
We are in four finals.
America vs Canada on Friday.
I cannot wait to watch us do our thing in our past time against Canada after we took
their past time of hockey just a few weeks ago.
Good luck to them and thank you to the Italians for putting on a bit of a clinic last night.
I mean, just an excitement and celebration and espresso and PASQUATO!
Those bye-bye.
Three bingoes for this guy last night.
Three espresso shots in the dugout thingy.
That's right.
Actually, one motivational speech to a pitcher that couldn't throw a strike and then three
moments are, how you fam?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
How you doing?
Last night.
And he'll be joining us in about three, four minutes to talk about what it was.
But it wasn't just the Italy, Mexico game last night that was gigantic for us.
Baseball has been delivered.
Let's go to the talks table.
That boss of Conrad Tashmit, Dominican Republic Venezuelan last night.
This is the best game of the tournament so far.
This baseball thing continues to deliver for us and I am pumped that we've been watching.
Yeah, and it got moved to 2b so that we could see what our fate would be.
And if you missed it, it was basically more of the same for the Dominican Republic.
That's what these guys do.
Want Soto hits a homer in the first inning and they go ape shit.
They do this every single time they hit a homer, Vlad, another moonbeam, you know, just
a couple of innings later and these guys are pimping home runs.
They're going crazy.
The entire dugout is getting up and getting out of the dugout, running on the field.
And then look at this bat flip by Fernando and he's going to lay it on a third baseline
down here.
Exactly.
And you can see at this moment in time, you know, Dominican Republic Venezuelan, that's
the fourth three.
It's close ball game and the T's, you know, absolutely blisters one pimps it like he probably
wouldn't do an MLB game because you're definitely getting hit your next at bat if you're doing
that.
But everyone kind of understands what's going on here.
Like look how much fun these guys are having it.
It's weird having playoff type, you know, I think someone said last night like this doesn't
feel like the world series.
It feels like the world cup.
Like every team that's playing in this, all the different angles.
I mean, look, look how much fun these guys are having.
They're not doing that in an MLB game.
And it's just some of these obscure teams that, I mean, Dominican Republic is different
because they have a bunch of superstars.
But everyone's treating all these games like this and boy game after game after game, the
World Baseball Classic is deliberate.
Let's go to one half of the hammer down, Cowboys AP time.
People still saying to my bet was the worst bet in the history of betting today, I might
stop betting on baseball and wait until I have my eyes on some college hoops teams.
I've seen one minute of that ball in with March Madness right around the corner.
You got to stop betting on a baseball and maybe I set my sights on these 18 to 19 to
27 year olds that have either been in a G league or one year of high school.
And I just put the entire house on them.
People still saying it's bad, but as we look ahead to the quarter finals, it feels like
we've got some good games, right?
Even though we're, we're heavy favorites against Canada, I don't think that matters at all
anymore.
And that's the entire thing.
No, there's some great games quarter finals and then when you look ahead to what possibly
could be semis and championship, it's going to be absolutely electric.
Yeah, there's a lot of good games you got to wait to see who the pitchers are coming
out.
People are saying that about your bet.
People are also saying you shouldn't do it again.
You should not make that bet against Canada.
Do not.
Yeah, we'll see.
We'll see how I'm feeling.
See how these stringers are feeling because you know, I still need one.
You know, if you heard the story about this one, it's been a lot of L's in the scroll.
And then there was a man they call pass watch who's wearing a damn C for Italy, who motivated
an entire team to be the best team, maybe in baseball in the world, joining us now.
The number one seed coming out of pool beer, whatever group B from Virginia, representing
the great country of Italy.
Ladies and gentlemen, he hit three bingo's last night for the United States of America,
yeah, as well as the great country of Italy.
Ladies and gentlemen, Vinnie Pasquinpina.
Yeah.
Hey, hey.
Good.
See, good.
See, Vinnie.
Good.
I don't know, but Jornal from Houston, you know, hey, what's up, guys?
Hey, Chow, how's the gobbagool last night?
Do we have some fucking wine?
How was last night after the big time win in the hell of a moment for us?
And I saw you in the post game, give a, hey, team USA, we're thinking about you in a hotel.
You're welcome in this entire thing.
We appreciate you doing that.
How was this celebration afterwards and how do the boys feel after going undefeated
in pool play?
Yeah.
We're feeling, we're feeling pretty good.
A little frisky, create a little havoc in this tournament.
Yeah, it was a, that was quite the celebration last night.
We didn't get into anything too crazy, but, but yeah, as you can see there,
I'm being up a little bit, happy about it.
So we had some wine, had some, had some beer.
We, we did what we could.
We, we've got a few off days, got a little treatment after this.
And man, we're just pumped is what a night, what a night, what a last few days.
Yeah, three, three bingo's for you last night is obviously an incredible thing.
And once you guys got the four runs, that's when we thought, okay, we're good because
the only way we can kind of lose is if Mexico wins without scoring five runs.
So once they would have to get the five runs to beat you, we started celebrating.
Then we heard, well, if it goes to extra headings, actually, there's a chance that there's
a math equation.
So we don't really understand any of it.
But what I don't think I comprehend it at all is that it kind of is really good at baseball.
I had no idea.
I put out some tweets.
I'm sure you saw it.
You are a spectacular, I mean, an absolutely spectacular Twitter operator.
And I respect and appreciate that.
And I'm happy you're going to be in my Algo, I think going forward.
But I had no idea three donginis was possible from the Italian team.
I, I did not know you guys were going to be the wagon.
Did you expect to be this good coming into the tournament and has Italy always done
well in this tournament with a bunch of Americans who are incredibly proud of the fact
that they're Italian, which I think every Italian I know is incredibly proud that they're
Italian.
I don't know what this is like to represent Italy on this scale.
But did you guys know you had a squad this year like when did it start becoming real?
And how long we've been doing the splits, okay?
Maybe you, maybe you get an 11 sponsorship as well, Donner Miami.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We, I've been able to do the splits my entire life.
I don't know what it is, but I couldn't just do it right now, but somehow when I get out
to first base, I'm able to do it.
So happy about that.
Hopefully that continues and hopefully I don't ever do anything to mess myself up there.
Yeah.
We knew we were going to have a good squad.
We're really young.
There's a lot of, like you were just talking about 18 to 22 year olds you're looking out
for the NCAA tournament.
We've got a lot of like 20, 21, 22 year olds just got out of college.
So there's a little bit of extra energy in there, which is pretty, which is pretty special.
It makes me, makes me feel old being with some of these guys.
And they've just been bringing all this Italian energy.
I mean, freaking Andrew Fisher is from Jersey, I think.
He's got pork roll, egg and cheese on his leg guard.
That's what it says.
So this team, this team is about a stereotypical Italian as you can get and guys just want to play
baseball.
And it's been incredible, like I'm super proud to be with this group.
And to be able to just do what we did, I mean, nobody had us win in this pool.
And we just, we just did it, right?
We just showed up.
We just tried to play games and that was it.
Once we scored four last night, it was like, all right, we better win this game now because
if we lose, we're out.
So I was weird going into a game knowing that you could lose and still make it.
But we did what we needed to do and made it happen.
Yeah, you certainly did.
And the espresso machine is obviously garnered a lot of conversation.
You're talking about, hey, we're just trying to be the most stereotypical Italian team
that we could possibly be because we're representing the amount of ease that are going
on.
I mean, it's a beautiful culture to be stereotypical about because all the actions are
hilarious, well thought out, and everybody understands them immediately.
Tell me about the espresso, please.
So is that a levaza?
Who's in charge?
And how long are these being like, as you hit the denger, somebody's pushing the button
to start cooking that up?
How's it kind of operating the dog out there?
The first three homers were tough for the guys because I was making them as they hit the
homers as they were running around the bases and they were burning hot.
So we burned a few guys' mouths.
They spit them out immediately, which made some people think that maybe I had spiked them.
I did not.
They were just hot.
So we figured it out.
We started pre-making them a little bit just to make sure guys weren't going to burn
themselves out there.
But yeah, we made it happen.
The espresso came from in 2023, when we played in the classic.
We had one in the dog out, but it had the logo of the company on it.
And we got yelled at by MLB because, you know, yeah, advertising.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big push.
That's right.
We got the World Baseball Classic logo on there, so I'm not exactly sure about exactly
sure what it is.
All I know is it makes great coffee and I'm hopeful to have a few more sips of espresso.
Yeah.
And all we know is, yeah, I think it feels like you're seeing the ball pretty well right
now.
It feels like that's going to happen for you going forward.
But we also know the Passquatch is open for business espresso company, you know, we've
heard it.
Yeah.
I'm here.
I'm here.
I got no coffee restrictions.
I'm a free agent when it comes to coffee.
Doing this is so funny because in our first team meeting, Francisco or Vellie was sitting
there being like, guys, we're Italian.
There's going to be a lot of this.
I'm moving around.
I mean, in the first team meeting, we're like, all right, I guess we're doing that.
That's just going to talk with our hands a lot, so it's been a blast.
Well, obviously the Italian population in America is very deep and very important to the history
of the United States of America.
I come from Pittsburgh, obviously, where there is, I don't say all Italians, but Jesus.
The greatest people in America in Pittsburgh.
Thank you.
Basically.
Good.
Kenny Woods.
Kenny Woods.
Great.
Man.
Wow.
Oh, yeah.
I fell in love at Kenny Wood when I was like 12 years old.
I swear I was in love.
Sir, right there.
Right there.
Right there.
Yeah.
You're right.
By the way, you did fall in love and you're 100% right with that.
A lot of Italians, though, obviously, as you know, in Pittsburgh, on that note, Anthony
De Jolio, a Plumboro, Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh has a question for you.
Yeah.
A pleasure to talk to you.
As an Italian American, like myself, obviously, we like to show that we are Italian all the
time.
We're very, very proud of it.
But being born and raised in America, what was it like going against the US?
Did it feel weird or was it just like, fuck it.
Let's screw these guys and just beat the shit out of them.
That.
Yes.
It was, but it was really cool though.
I mean, it's a special plan against that group of players.
I mean, either the best 30 players in the world.
So that's what we heard all week is how good they are.
So it was cool to, it was cool to step up against them and you play against them all in
the regular season.
You respect all those guys.
I mean, they're hallfamous MVP, Sai Young's.
Like, they're one of the best teams out there and just being able to see the team, they
were able to put together like, it's super cool for the game that some of the biggest
stars in the game were willing to strap it up for this tournament.
And I think it's showing with the ratings.
I mean, ratings are way up.
People are watching.
I mean, you guys are, I can talk about baseball.
So that's good.
How about a pass watching out of bat right here, bro?
Yeah, you got a bat right there.
It's perfect.
So baseball is growing.
So it's super cool to have played against those guys and it was even more special to beat
them the other night.
I made sure to let the tournament people know that we were the winners of pool b's.
So we get the workout time that we want today.
I thought you'd be bullying the American boys.
Okay.
I know you're just negotiating classics down here.
They kicked it.
They kicked me out of the locker room the other day.
I was taking a little bit too long for them.
So, so I made, I think ours is, ours is here in a few minutes.
So I'll make sure that we're ready to go for it.
Yeah, let's make sure everybody's out when they're supposed to be out.
They could let see.
All right.
We got a plug-in.
This espresso machine with no name.
Yeah.
It wasn't espresso in 2023, by the way.
Okay.
I'm having one of those every single day, at least two of them, Pat.
I appreciate that you take the mindset of appreciating the team that they fielded, but also
how good it's been for baseball.
I appreciate that baseball players are seemingly understanding that this is very good for baseball
and that more people are going to watch this than a majority of the baseball season.
There was a tweet last night that I think encapsulated, well, this doesn't really feel
like a world series.
It feels like a world cup on that note.
Ty has a question for you, brother.
Yeah.
After that point, even in years past, if you love baseball, you'd watch this, but you
can kind of tell, it's baseball and March, guys are thinking more about the season, but
this year, it does feel different.
How parent has that been in the stadium for the games, with the atmosphere and everything?
Does it feel like a playoff atmosphere?
Does it feel like these games mean more than just a random competition in the middle of
March?
Yeah.
I mean, we were talking about it last night.
We were up 8-0 on USA, I think, or 8-1, and then we were up 8-1 or 9-1 last night, and
I thought we were, I mean, the way the crowd was acting, I thought it was a tie game or
we were up by one.
I've never been tighter, like, more nervous when you're up by 8 in my life.
I was getting so mad at some of the pitchers.
I'm like, I stopped throwing off speed pitches that are not strikes.
So let's just, let's make them get themselves out here, like, let's try to make this easy,
stop letting guys on base.
And is that what you were saying?
Is that what you were saying up there?
I saw you call, like, a mind visit, because normally that's not the case.
Normally you see, like, a manager come out.
You're on first base.
They had you locked in at 8-1, and you look like you were about to gnaw through wood
potentially with how intense you were.
And then you called one.
I think it's Scotty at a Scotty.
I don't know what picture it was.
Yeah, Scotty, Scotty, Scotty.
Pure bread Italian, too.
Pure bread Italian.
That guy loves a cigarette.
He's the best.
Yes.
He is the best.
The first night we were in Arizona, we were a bunch of guys came to my room, you know, having
some drinks, getting to know each other a little bit, and he's like, guys, I'll be right
back.
I got to go smoke cigarette.
And we're like, that's our Italian.
Okay.
So you have a great relationship with him.
You called the mountain.
If the catcher came out and you called it, and then we looked up like one of your tweets,
I guess this is not new to you.
You are a guy that will go over to a pitcher and say some things, and allegedly be at
the tweet.
Sometimes, I mean, it's a different language than nobody really is.
You just give a good vamo at the end and say, feel like you're motivating.
Are you, first baseman, we know Sean Casey, obviously, because he's from Pittsburgh,
you know, he's like the mayor.
I think he's having conversations with every person that's coming on to first base,
which is everybody that gets a hit, which is basically, you know, everybody in baseball.
So that's quite a leadership position, it feels like, how much are you doing that?
And what did what you, and what you're doing right now for Italy, kind of normal for your
game with the royals?
Is this just kind of how you operate?
Yeah.
I think it's how I operate.
I just want guys to be, I guess, especially with pitchers in those situations, like last
night, it was like, dude, let's be aggressive in the zone.
And the tough part is, is like, none of us have been in an environment like that, especially
the, the Italian guys.
So you're just trying to get up there and instill some confidence and let them know that
we're behind you.
We got your back.
And like, what's the worst that can happen?
A guy hits a homer and now we're up nine to two, like, all right, we'll move on to the
next guy.
So it's just one of those things, just letting guys know you have their back and you're
there for them and just to try to instill a little bit of confidence and, and see how
we can get this thing rolling.
So it's pretty, pretty standard, just to try to, try to get somebody motivated.
Have you tried to speak Italian at all?
Like, are we doing any more, are you just saying, like, all the American stuff?
Like, you know, like, you know, like, you doing all that stuff.
Do you know any Italian?
I've got some stuff in the bag, but nothing that I'm going to say on TV, because we're
already getting ripped enough for being Italian Americans playing in this tournament.
So I think it's my Italian guys.
I would like to say I think it's a good representation of how Italian Americans feel about representing
Italy, though.
Like, I think the Italian community, very, obviously there's a lot of communities that
are very tight and have each other, but you don't, you very rarely see like one Italian
family.
There it is.
Yeah.
This is a guy.
Yeah.
So this video is on the flight there that most of the, in the first video, all those guys
are like our, our Italians and they, they wanted to sing some Italian music for us.
It was amazing.
So we're just on the flight.
The flight attendants didn't know what to do because we're just like, all right, we're
singing.
Bring the Vino.
We need the speaker.
Let's go.
And it was, uh, it was incredible.
So what a, that was an amazing flight.
That kind of kicked off, that kind of kicked things off for us as having a, having a nice
show flight to get us to Houston and, I mean, fuck, what a good group of guys.
Yeah.
Good looking guys, too.
Just a bunch of good looking Italian Italians, right?
Yeah.
You guys are super Italian looking and the names just one after another becomes more Italian
somehow.
Yeah.
You know, step up and then lots of other people, you know, it's like, jeez, I almost put
it in sweet, but I, I would thought I would get attacked obviously because I was stupid
it sounds, but you understand what I'm saying here.
This is an alternative, all name team team.
Like I almost put out like it's team Italy is so Italian.
Like, yeah, I was just going to start listing off the names.
It is, it is a wonderful Italian name, kind of rundown one guy after the next.
I love how much it represents seemingly the country and also Italian Americans.
I think personally.
Yeah, there was a video I saw on the internet of how the team was picked.
I mean, it was a guy wearing like the white tank with the chains out talking about the names
and how you have to have a value at the end of it.
That's exactly how the team was picked.
That makes sense.
You looked at the names, made sure they sounded Italian enough, got the, got the certification
that, because the way you got to be eligible is that you can become a citizen in Italy.
So we made, you know, had to make some phone calls, make sure people were ready and, yeah,
if the name right.
So what you're, you would be able to become a citizen of Italy.
Because my, it was, so my grandfather's from Niagara Falls and his, his, I believe it's
his, my, I did all this research in 2022, so I don't 100% remember correctly, but I believe
it was his father born and raised in Italy.
That's when they came over.
They were Pasquentonio when they came over.
They, they Americanized it and made it Pasquentino, you know, take a few letters out, make it
Pasquentino.
And they moved to Niagara Falls and then he moved to West Virginia and that, and then
he moved to Virginia.
So you're just doing it all.
If I was to Google him, would there anything pop up or no?
Yeah, yeah, something would pop up.
It would fire you up a little bit.
This isn't the first time a Pasquentino is taken on the United States.
Yeah, super Italian team.
We got a super Italian team as well, I'm saying out there.
I love everything about it.
Connor has last question for you, Pasquatch?
Yeah, Vinnie, thanks for what you did to Baseball because two days ago, I think all of us
were ready to watch 162 and then yesterday it felt like we were never going to watch
a baseball game again if you guys didn't get the job done.
So I very much appreciate that as an Irishman as well.
I've never rooted for Italy in my life and that was kind of a special moment for me yesterday.
Yeah, it was.
I think just it was nice to root for you.
That's what we do is Italians.
We bring people together.
Yeah, that's what we do.
He's from Pasquentonio.
Yeah, Vinnie, you should know this guy smells like potatoes all the time.
I didn't even go watch him.
You see what I was doing?
See that?
You see that?
I mean, I'm good for a cigarette everyone's a while, but I see that too far.
But thinking about the future here, now you guys are on to the quarterfinals.
You guys are actually underdogs against Puerto Rico.
Are you aware of that?
Does the team know that?
And also just, you know, talking nutrition, are you guys only in like spaghetti meatballs,
Italian sub, capital, capital, like how does it work as far as kind of the stereotypical
nutrition that you guys are?
Yeah.
I mean, every single team dinner that we've had has been Italian food.
They're really hitting like we talked about with the stereotypes they are doing it.
Chicken Palm, Veo Palm.
Yeah.
Some brand Zeno's been mixed in there.
Oh, okay.
A little bit of fish.
I'm surprised.
Yeah, it's been good.
It's been, I mean, the first night here, I did get food poisoning though.
I spent the first morning we were here in the emergency room getting an IV.
Oh, bad pasta.
What's going on now?
I don't know what happened down here in Houston.
I don't know if tomatoes got to be in that kind of bad mood to that.
Little bit bad mood to that.
You come after one of the family and then we all showed up.
So maybe that's what we needed as a team to get going and win this pool.
So I don't know what Houston was trying to do to the Italians, but we made it happen.
I mean, that's that's a long story.
I don't like thinking about that because the US wasn't even the home team in Houston.
We need us just a little vizene, right?
They said they know what to do.
The legend.
Yeah.
Wedding crash.
I learned.
I assume the Italians thought of that at some point.
Yeah.
Jeremy, we found the story about it.
Saving seals.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Holy shirts and pants.
All right.
Good luck.
Tommy Gufana.
We don't even have to get into.
What are your thoughts, Christopher Columbus?
We'll get into that next time.
He's a hero.
He's a hero.
Hey, we appreciate you, man, for joining us.
Good luck for us away.
Thank you for saving baseball in America.
And genuinely, thank you for that.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're welcome, guys.
Thanks.
And thanks for not doing a handshake deal to like, you know, do the whole, let's get America
out.
We can kind of go anything.
That's good.
That's good.
We're happy.
We would never.
Italians doing something shady.
Never.
Watch it.
Watch it.
Hey, I don't like the way you're talking about a Italian drink.
I don't like that.
You're the man, ladies and gentlemen.
Vinnie Pasquintonial.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The actual thing.
Yeah.
It's trying to respect it.
Exactly.
It's a grandpa.
He was part of Tonya.
He was part of the police, father's father's father.
Yeah.
He looked up.
They do have a case.
Pasquinton.
Yeah.
What did they do?
I'll tell you what.
We ended up in Virginia.
Something was getting taxed a little too much and they decided to go around it.
Yeah.
They said we're going to not only throw the tea, but maybe some vino around here.
That's right.
And what are you going to do about duty free?
Duty nothing.
How about that?
We just keep it moving.
I respect that.
I do appreciate what the Italians did for America.
I've never seen a baby face turn in my life for me like the Italian baseball team.
Yeah.
A lot of negative feelings about that Italian baseball team.
Then everybody kind of shifted away from Italian and wanted to show it to D.R.O.
Okay?
Yeah.
Skip for U.S.A.
So then Italians kind of back and then we all learn, and I think D.R.O.
I learned as well.
Okay.
We need to really kind of do some.
So these Italian Americans had a chance and only represent for Italy going to feed and win the pool.
But also like for all the homies back in the year, welcome.
Yeah.
They'll be able to forever.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
In the clubhouse everywhere.
It's like, remember.
They're saying, Sir Vell is going to get a statue in rope.
No, he's getting the medal of freedom.
They have it.
In rope?
I think both.
You're in there.
Yeah.
Just going to get him both.
Yep.
Good at you.
Thank you.
He says, he says, those types of things, I love everything about it.
But I do appreciate how baseball has responded.
And he immediately upon me sending D.M. request through jet pass and jet was like, Hey, I think
is fan a program, you should definitely hit him up. Send him message. Should you come
on? He says, yes, immediately. So we appreciate you, Vinnie. I'm a follower. Who's he
played for? Royals. With Bobby. Yeah. Yeah. And Jack.
Yeah.
He just did that. Call him back. It was just a can't call him back. He's got a price.
Come on. What about Jack? He's the one who did it to us. He hit a big fly. Big fly.
He didn't do anything against Mexico. Did he? Yeah. Didn't really need to. Yeah.
They played small ball for that. They did run. We needed a little bit of, it wasn't necessarily
suicide squeeze, but basically too much for sure. But what I'm saying, the Italians, we didn't
bring, God, I missed it again. They did a trick. Oh, yeah. Little, little slight hand.
They did a trick. They did a trick in a big game last night. Fly ball out the centerfield.
The shortstop, I believe, fakes like it's a ground ball. So the runner at first thinks
that he has it. So he's not going to get there. There's no idea. Ball is in the outfield.
That thing's caught. You got to get back to first brother. He just baited you around
there because you obviously can't be off base. The genius. Yeah. This is like watching
a movies, I guess, whenever you do hidden ball trickery. Yeah. You do that thing. I think
I saw somebody get with that in MLB last year or something like that. I think I saw
one of those love whenever that happens. Hundred and a thousand games. So get bored in
there. That was awesome. I don't think I've ever seen that ploy maneuver. And then obviously
right afterwards, and 10 minutes later, not even with TV commercials and everything,
dong gainy. So it was like the Italians were all over it and super Italian. Like them
scheming. Oh, yeah. Like that was genius. So as my first time I've ever seen it, I didn't
know that was a real play. That's a baseball play, I guess. And is there others that I need
to keep an eye on? Yes. And no, because I believe the runner is running on the pitch.
So like he's, you know, he's trying to steal second base or at least getting motion.
So he's not looking around to see. So yeah, he dives to make it look like it's a ground
ball. And then he's just thinking, oh boy, I better get on my horse here. Like I could
be scoring maybe. And then he gets the third base looks back and realize like, oh, that's
something bitch. He'd do it me big time. It was actually a pop fly off the bat and I had
no idea. Is this a normal play? I would say not very normal. Like I suppose this is super
genius play. I just need to know levels of this stuff because I don't know. Like little
week kids doing this high school kids doing it. You're probably seeing it more in that
kind of stuff. Yeah. Then you are in the MLB. Like it probably happens every once in a
while. But yeah, this is like a big, you know, like travel team type thing. Like good young
teams are kind of deploying tactics like this. Where if a team, you know, they're probably
going to beat the shit out of anyway. But you see anything like that and kids are doing
this. It's like, okay, like these guys are pimping defense. Yeah. Yeah. You could say that.
A normal one is like, if a guy's running and it's a single behind him and it's actually
goes through the outfield. The shortstop will pretend like he's getting a throw to second.
So the runner slide. So he doesn't go to third. So there's some good. There's a few
out there. I like I'm starting like baseball. We're doing a baseball. You know what I don't
like? I don't like when deals are made and then rescinded me either. I think that's that's
where it's got to be a scumbag to do that. Well, the cost of general manager for the Baltimore
Ravens came out and said the cost. Yeah, the cost exactly. He came out and said that he was
more gutted than anybody else about what happened when Max Crosby. Here's him speaking yesterday
in a very dejective manner. I mean, I understand it. You know, I understand it. We live in that
age of skepticism and people question, especially people that don't really know me or know the Ravens
culture and the Ravens organization. So I understand it. As I said at the beginning,
we've got a responsibility. I've got a responsibility to the Ravens, to this community, to our
fans and to Steve Bischotti, to do what we think is best for the club. And that's what we always
try to do. Every decision we make is based on this idea. It's just the best thing for the Ravens.
Very, very challenging. Again, I understand how people might maybe from the far would feel that way.
But nobody's more upset about this than me.
I'm gutted by actually. And so a regret, a big regret for me.
But we will move on as a football team. And I think there's many, many opportunities for us to
to grow as a team, to become a better team, to build a roster, and to be the team that we want to be.
I believe he's that. He's gutted. I got a responsibility to these people.
Okay. I got a responsibility to the city. Jimmy's famous seafood. You know, the crab legs,
a ship nationwide. I got a responsibility to him and his family. I got a responsibility to
Bischotti. And if it's not going to work, it's not going to work. Did you know that he was hurt whenever
you brought him in? It's not about now. It's about what we projected in the future with what we
saw in the scans. It's like, is there another way to do this so that this doesn't come out publicly?
Because it feels like this has never happened at this high of a level before. I think that's the
the kind of the shock and awe. Because Dr. Chao came on. He was an NFL doctor for a long time.
He said that that is a move that any team could have deployed for any contract, especially during
his free agency frenzy. And then they all do the escrow thing where you get a house, you put money
on escrow for your mortgage. But then there's a bunch of inspections and checks. And if it falls
through, you're allowed to get your money back. You don't have to get the house. That's basically what
these deals are. And I guess that probably happens at the the bottom half of a roster with a lot of
guys that maybe are going to be special teams guys or second second string guys or maybe practice squad
guys. And it's like, we can't be put in a million bucks in this guy. It doesn't look like he's
going to be able to do whatever it is after the test. But like Max Crosby, like, you're son of Max
Crosby who's hurt. We know exactly what he's going to be. Now, unless they are smarter than everybody
else, which I mean, we shall see, I guess, with how this all works out. But Dr. Neil Eletrosch
who's done a thousand surgery says like, he's good. He's going to be back here. He's going to be
playing football again. I don't even know what we're talking about here. It just felt dirty
from the beginning. The thing that I hate though is because this has happened at such a large scale,
even though it's happened before and everybody automatically has a negative thought. Like Trey
Hendrickson, I would like to say our source says are telling us that Trey Hendrickson genuinely thought
he was going to play with Max Crosby. So now, was there a ploy behind the scenes to not tell Trey
or not tell Max? And then once you get a deal done with one of the other, then we can kind of figure
the whole thing out. Maybe, but like, everybody's immediate response to Schefter saying like, hey,
everybody was kind of thinking that they were going to be together. It's literally because of
the scan that they saw. Maybe the Ravens and the Costa was put up a front right there about the
scans and how gutted he is and maybe he was able to get through that and people have lied on
microphones before. And maybe they were behind the scenes saying like, hey, let's try to work
a deal with both these guys. We'll tell them they're both coming and then if we work a deal with one,
we don't have to work a deal with the other and we'll just kind of drop out. We can still drop out.
We got to do that. But for more understanding, Trey Hendrickson definitely thought he was playing
football with Max Crosby. And that was a huge, that was a huge shelling, which also might have
been why that it was being said at the time. So it's a fascinating little situation with two
superstars. You know, the amount of sacks he has. Obviously, Warren's conversation being best
in league. He gets a four year, $112 million deal after kind of being in purgatory with his Cincinnati
bangles for the last like three years. That thing started at Radio Row on our show where he came
on ahead and basically backstage like, I don't want to have to do this, but I'm getting kind of
screwed here. I'm getting kind of screwed here. So this is what I have to do. Thank you for having
me. He goes out there. Anything that's good for the bangles I'm good for. If you want, trade me,
get some picture of the bangles. Cool. If you want to give me a contract, we work the deal so we
give them a good buy. I deserve some money. And then for two years, it just kind of lingered and
lingered and lingered. And then he obviously gets a massive deal. So we're happy for him with the
Baltimore Ravens. But I think he was thinking he was playing with Max Crosby as well. Think about the
I'm getting what they're paying me how much and I got the every snap guy on the other side.
It's almost impossible. Yeah, exactly. Which then leads to the people immediately going, well,
that would have never been able to work, especially with Lamar Jackson happening with that. Well,
actually they didn't get a Lamar deal done. It's like a lot of negative vibes seemingly around
the Ravens right now. And they sign a guy who knows the division very well and is led to league and
sacks. It's like there hasn't been a lot of positive stuff. And then Lamar Jackson deal comes out
and it's like, that's negative as well. Tough start for mentor. Yeah. But I've heard Bashaddi talk one
time. I got faith in the Ravens until I don't have faith in the Ravens. But it doesn't feel like
a positive time to be a Baltimore Raven right now. No, not all. And they lost so many guys too.
Like it's not even as if they can bring back the old band and they're adding in, you know,
a Trey Hendrix in which is great. They lost a ton of players. I think it was eight or nine
starters in general. Not the big one. They do get back as Matt Bouquet on that D line who is
playing this fall. He said, but if you're the Raiders looking at this. Yeah. This is incredible.
This is basically one of, if not the greatest offseason for a single team in NFL history,
not to mention they're bringing in, you know, Fernando Mendoza, who is going to be fantastic.
Like all those additions, Max Crosby, if you're going back there, he's had success without all
these players. Now he has what two of the top three linebackers and free agency with Clay Walker
in the Kobe Dean who, oh, by the way, played together at Georgia. So they're vibes right off the
battle. Great. They are go dog. Yeah. They're no dogs. It could he pay could he pay. This is going to be
his best, you know, D line he's ever played with. You know, he's now he's playing with Max Crosby,
whereas now he'll probably be much, much better. Tyler Linderbaum, you know, Eric Stowe,
all these guys that they brought in. If you're the, you know, Raiders, sure, you can be excited
about having Crosby put on a tweet. Yeah. So right for life, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. It's like,
that's an incredible message of, I guess he spoke to the Raiders. How do I would assume he
spoke to the Raiders? Everything happens for a reason. Believe nothing. You hear in half of what
you see. It's like, well, we did hear and see that he was going to race. So it's all the edges.
Some photos of Baltimore. So it's not going to happen. You know, but now he's like, I'm back
Raider for life. Run that shit. It's like, good for the Raiders, man. Honestly, your team has all
of a sudden seemingly stacked and your best player is back with a bigger chip on his shoulder. So if
you're able to put swords aside, maybe they rework a deal with Max. I don't know what his deal
looks like and be able to figure out going forward. Like, hey, it was two ones, dude. We're in the
middle of a complete turnover. You deserve to go win. And they're able to sell it to each other.
It's like, good for the Raiders. Good for the Raiders. Also good for the bills.
Mm-hmm. Big signing. Yeah. Buffalo Bills signed Bradley Chubb to a three year, 43 and a half
million dollar deal. Up to 52 and a half mill with 29 million guaranteed huge signing for the Buffalo
Bills. You know, Bosa and Vaughn Miller. And these guys have been brought into the bills to go
ahead and get to the quarterback. Hopefully Drake May in other AFC's monster opponents. Bradley
Chubb's great signing for being in Buffalo Bills. I had no idea this was coming. Good for them,
Tishman. Yeah. He was the bell of the ball of the trade deadline a couple years ago. I can't
remember. I think it was like the Broncos, maybe what the dolphins gave up like two first round
picks to get him. And then for whatever reason, I think he was, you know, he was fairly solid in
Miami, just maybe not exactly what they thought they were getting. But this is kind of the
Vaughn Miller had that great year with the bills. And then I don't think they've really
necessarily gotten as what they expected out of him or Joey Bosa. So maybe Chubb is the guy.
Like, that's what being told us a long time ago. Hey, when you have Josh Allen, you need a
finisher on defense. And maybe they think they found that in Bradley Chubb. But for everything
that everyone was saying about Bino, he's had a pretty good offseason thus far. Yeah, I would say
Bino is trying to silence the critics a bit. Yeah. You know, and I think Bino doesn't listen to
the critics, but he certainly informed of what everybody's saying. And he knows you got Josh
Allen as quarterback. You need to win a Super Bowl. Yeah. Yeah. It's not just Josh Allen
and his whistle. But it's like the person putting a team together needs to win a Super Bowl.
You're good at your job. You're good at your job. You've been able to do turnover through a
couple of different really good teams. Yeah. Nailie in his quarterback. Okay. You need to win a
Super Bowl. He understands that. That entire building understands that. And it's seemingly like
they have a plan and they're executing right now. Yeah. And he's with Carolina when Cam Newton
them went to the Super Bowl brand and being that is. So he kind of understands how you can get
that close, but right after if you don't, you know, continue to get that close, you're out of the
building. That whole entire thing turns over. The other guys that are still available in free
agency to all of them. You could basically say, Hey, if those guys go to Buffalo, that would be a great
side of like joy. Both of us still doesn't have a team. He might end up back at Buffalo. Him and
Bradley Chubb together would be incredible. You mentioned the heat at least on the internet from
the Buffalo Onions brother that might not love Brandon Bean. There are another bunch of receivers
out there that they can add with DJ Moore to give Josh Allen Moore help. Like I almost think
that the Buffalo bills are primed for another move, which sucks as a Patriots fan, but Beano's
cook a little bit here, especially as we get further in the free agency. Like he might make
another few things that that make Buffalo even more of a content. They redo Josh Allen's deal.
You know, so they open up more money. They're able to do that with a couple of different players.
Speaking of money, it's quarterback position. Kyle Murray is visiting Minnesota.
Okay. So he was officially released by the Arizona Cardinals at the start of the new
league year four o'clock yesterday. We knew this was coming. Everybody knew this was coming.
It actually happens. Now he's going to visit Minnesota. All indications have been that this guy
is going to be the Minnesota Vikings quarterback for $1.3 million next year. He's going to go into
Kevin O'Connell's system and his ability to put a ball on an absolute dot is going to amplify
that Minnesota Vikings offense that is always going to be talented. It beflows defense is going
to be great. And the Vikings are going to be back to that team. That was really good.
As opposed to the team that is kind of shite and missed the playoffs this past season. They had a
14 win quarterback in Sam Donald. Thanks a really good. Daniel Jones is the backup. Get out.
We got a guy we draft them will be better. Nine is going to be the quarterback.
Some people say maybe disrespectful to the league. Yeah. Getting rid of a quarterback that wins
14 games and is competing for the number one seed in the NFC. But his last few games with the
Vikings called in a question on whether or not he could be the guy in the big moments. He won 14
games, but Kevin O'Connell will win 14 games to anybody, which we kind of all feel that way.
Yes. But they move on from Sam Donald. Sam Donald just wants to pull the Seattle Seahawks.
Minnesota Vikings missed the playoffs. Look like ass with nothing really in the future at the
quarterback position. Unless JJ McCarthy can somehow stay healthy and get the reps that he needs
to get better. Instead, we're bringing a veteran here. They're going to be our starter. Who's
it going to be? Maybe Kirk cousins will bring back. Maybe Aaron Rodgers. He free agent.
Maybe we bring here. Why? Maybe we sign their car out of retirement. Anybody that can
layer a ball is what the Minnesota Vikings are looking for is basically what we were told
across the board of combine from multiple different teams agents, everything that they're hearing.
Kyler Murray would certainly be able to do that. Now passing lanes and things like that because
of his stature will certainly be something that Kevin O'Connell will have to work on. That offense,
if Kyler Murray is able to commit and buy into it completely would be absolutely lethal.
His ability to move after and extend plays would only add a certain element to it. But
will Kyler Murray be the leading man of the Minnesota Vikings? Hell, Kevin O'Connell wants him
to be a leader. Will he be the face of a franchise? Well, how everything went in Arizona?
Transform now. Be a Minnesota. We shall see. And is he going to go to the Los Angeles Rams to
back up Matthew Stafford? That is up there. And be the long-term plan for the Los Angeles Rams
after you're Matthew Stafford retires. And evidentably at some point, no matter how many times he gets
in the amoral trailer. So what a time to be Kyler Murray. Getting paid a shit ton of money.
Your cap it's going to be very little. And he got multiple suitors that are looking to bring you
into the building because they think because you're a talent you can still be special. It's a good
time to be Kyler Murray. But once again, he's the only human in history to be drafted top 10
in MLB and NFL. Freakathlete type guy. Yeah, and both those places you just mentioned between L.A.
and Minnesota. They have so many weapons on both sides of the ball, but specifically on offense.
Between Minnesota, you got Hawkinson, who they ended up redoing their deals. So he's back.
Obviously, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison. And they also brought back Aaron Jones. And then,
I mean, L.A., that was the first I've kind of heard of that when you just said that.
That would be his probably perfect situation. You get paid a million bucks. Really, you're getting
what? 38 million, including the money from Arizona, just to be a backup and learn behind Matt Stafford.
He never had that opportunity. He was a day one starter off of his rookie year. Go there.
And be with Sean McVeah. And then, oh, yeah, Pooke and Akua, Mike Evans,
Karen Williams, Blake Corm, Terrence Ferguson, all those guys. Like he really is kind of
the bell of the ball. And he's in a great position to make a good decision for his own career,
not just this year. Good for Kyler. And, and you know what? Maybe baseball too. Sure.
You know, it's not right now. I already can still say Kurt Ball if you had to. So,
we appreciate what Kyler's doing right now. Good luck to him. And whoever signs him be great.
The Colts are not in, in, in need of quarterback though. There was a thought. Maybe Kyler comes
into anapolis. Oh, I was going to hold that actually for 1.3 million. Give a little Kyler show
here at Lucas Oil. Him on a coconut husk. Who? Do you see what those 40s work? The Lucas Oil
thing at the combine fast. Kyler. Mark players didn't love it. Time to play. What do you mean players
didn't love it? Colts, I believe the leaked reports said they hated the planks. Yeah, from my
understanding, anybody that didn't have grass gun if. Okay. Sure. I was the decision. I was
for mine. I love that. That is, that is what the, I believe the teams are spinning.
I like that. The teams are spinning like, yeah, all non-grash just got F's. It's just kind of how it is.
But I was thinking Kyler and Lucas Oil stating would really turn it into a lot house, you know,
a proud house, a super place. But instead, we got Daniel Jones back. So, I'm pumped up. We
wanted. He looked good yesterday. He said he's going to be playing. He said he's going to be playing.
Speaking of playing, we didn't know if a legendary Super Champion offensive lineman,
Lane and Dickerson was going to be playing football again. Remember, this is something that does
happen with the big guys, especially after you win a Super Bowl and get paid a lot of money.
You kind of, your body's beat up. It's a tough job. How much longer do I want to do this?
Got family. I'm missing a lot of stuff. Do I want to remain committed to ball? This happens a lot
to a lot of players, especially at the offensive line, defense line position because they're hand
fighting each other and their bodies are gigantic and they're joints are always sore and they have
to be heavy for their position. So, if you've already won a Super Bowl and made a bunch of money,
there's a chance that you're going to wonder, do I want to sign back up for this? There's a lot of
offensive lineman to have those conversations and there's a lot of offensive lineman about two days
before camp. I don't. Okay, that happens. So, Lane and Dickerson of the Philadelphia Eagles coming
out pondering what his future looked like. Wasn't a surprise and we're very happy to announce. He's
signed a brand new deal. Congratulations. A revised two-year contract at around 36 million. He was
previously do 39 million in 2026-27 but can hit that with 2027 incentives. He's do 15.7 million
this year and is no longer under contract in 2028. So, here we go. This is a big time move for him.
Congratulations. Amy's going to be playing. Shout to the Philadelphia Eagles. They got kind of quiet,
made some moves. Everybody's going to hate him until he won a Super Bowl again. I want to say
when a Super Bowl again, if they win a Super Bowl again, you'll be celebrating 24 hours. Everybody's
going to hate him again. That's a fascinating existence over there in Philly and I certainly enjoy
the fact that Ciri, Ony's in charge of it all but they do need to win her. It's going to get so
loud over there. Yeah, and the offensive line needs to get back to what it was when they did win
because it seemed like that and injuries are definitely part of that. But you go from
Sae Kwan having maybe the most special running back season in the history of the NFL to every week
kind of like the Eagles offense looks like shit. But again, new offensive coordinator, all that kind
of stuff. So I would expect that the Eagles heard everything. Ciri, Ony kind of just took that
all in and he's going to have one hell of a message for the boys when they return. I'm excited to
see what Ciri Ony is this year. You know, him popping off to the crowd. Awesome winner winning.
Oh, yeah. For us. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Everybody else hates it. Yeah. Yeah, they do. Everybody else
seemingly hates it. We really enjoy the way because it seems like he is able to rally the boys.
He's able to rally the boys. Philly gets loud about it because it's not doing things a similar way.
But he does seemingly have an ability to bring people together. Well, they ever win. The NFC's
only getting better. Yeah, you got any plus on the report card as far as head coach and goes
and big DOM had nothing to do with that. But this also kind of the benefit of when you miss out on
some free agents like, Hey, you have more money. Now you can take care of your own guys like Dickerson's
not the only one on that team that needs to be paid a little more. You could say, I know Devonta
Smith. He's probably nearing an extension as well. Like now how he can take care of the guys in
house and how good is that for vibes within the team, too? When you're looking around and you know,
like, Hey, the better I play the more money, I get like we saw Jalen Carter showed up to Jordan
Davis's extension press conference. Like those are also great things for Philly. Yeah, great news
in the state of Pennsylvania. Cam Hayward's gone. Yeah. Cam Hayward, who is obviously a pillar in
Pittsburgh is that aren't at Hayward was also a legend in Pittsburgh. This guy's played here
long time has been a staple of the community for the Pittsburgh Steelers at and about it
basically every single event. And you can't miss him because literally the thing sit on
shoulders is the biggest in the world. This guy's got the largest head in the world. His dad
might have had the largest head in the world when he passed away rest in peace. Cam became
largest head in the world. This block is gigantic. This block is one that is loved in Pittsburgh
and this block is one that has been playing his best football here towards the tail end of his
career. Kind of a James Harrison like arc of his career where you get really great at the end of
it and start dominating. That's what Cam's been doing. He's been asking for a new deal for a
couple of years. Some people say, hey, Cam, stop your pat. That's what people in Pittsburgh were
saying. I heard that. I'm not saying that to Cam. Cam's a giant. Cam's with good to me.
Cam beat my ass. Okay. And if I try to punch him back with my virtual reality big right hook.
This thing's breaking. Yeah. Because that thing once again, there's no real take down a cam. Hey,
like punch your jaw, jaw's punching you. Yeah. Big right hook. His temple is actually
so I want no beef with cam. Hey, word ever because I'm appreciative of him. But a lot of people
in Pittsburgh were saying shut up. Cam enough with the pot. Okay. Go to the 84 lumber golf out and
go to Pittsburgh. Penguins game sit front row on the glass. Okay. We paid you and your family.
Your brother remember on team millions of dollars. Stop your bitch and play football. That was the
narrative going into last season. Cam get cam stopped. Yep. Played football had another phenomenal
year and it feels like Omar cons taking care of him. This is a big deal for Mike McCarthy in
that locker room. I think. Yeah, I think it's huge. So back to back all pro seasons in his 14th and
15th season, I believe in the NFL, which is just absurd. And yeah, there was some talk. There was
some some mumbling, some groaning when we were there last year during training camp because
I was he practicing was he's sitting out all that he wanted the new deal all that. So that went into
the last season. So getting this done now this early and having, you know, good vibes going into
the season with coach McCarthy in his first season is really, really good. And you have one of the
pillars of the organization for coach McCarthy who's been there over a decade and a half. All around
good situation. And he's been the best player on that defense last two years by far. Yeah. And
once again, playing his best ball here the last couple of years and it seems like he's only going
to keep going. He obviously Ohio State great. I don't know if you've seen Matt Patricia. Big
steal in history defense quarter. Whoa. Hey, like a high condor, a pencil and all Matt
Patricia, a man who was signed to be the DC of the Ohio State Buckeyes this last season. They do not
win national championship, but they become one of the most legendary defenses in the history of
college football. He'll remain signs a deal putting him up at the top of his class when it comes
to college DCs with this type of money being paid for college defensive coordinators. And with
the NIL being like a free agency period in the recruiting process being like a draft, pro
guys coaches are going to be tempted to go do a lot more college, I think. And from our understanding,
recruiting isn't like, you know, I'm not paying it anymore. No, Matt Patricia's not being tasked
with driving around high school, high school shake hands and do all this type of stuff. No, no.
Now granted big game guys. Let's go. Let's go watch the scope. Yeah. Let's jump in a pool. Let's
go get in a helicopter. Let's go watch this guy play football. And if he wants us to sing,
let's make sure it's something in our range. Let's not be doing Justin Bieber's maybe some
marrow may. Yeah, maybe some Haggard. Maybe do some magic depending upon who we're talking to.
Sure. You know, because there's some people that don't know Haggard and that's embarrassing.
Excuse me. And they need what? Excuse me. I'm sure you've run into a couple and had no idea.
You know, you're probably right, but those are the type of people that I tend to just,
I don't want anything to sniff it out. I think I can kind of sniff it out. I don't know if
Matt Patricia knows Merrill Haggard, but I do know that he knows defense. And what he was able
to do with that Ohio State defense and what he's going to be able to continue to do because
remember Ohio State's never going to run out of talent. Okay. They're never going to run out of
like high elite football players. And seemingly as these football players in this new generation
of more information of football, more opportunity to play football, all these guys in a higher
football, like he feels like that end up in Ohio State. He's talking about Caleb Downs being
able to do whatever R Val Reese being able to do whatever sunny being able to do whatever.
Whenever he started chatting about it, he was like, I have a pro defense over here. They thought
we were installing like two things. I actually installed like 35 things in the guys had everything
from like day one, basically. So I think he really enjoyed his time there. Who knows if he goes
back to the NFL, but I think this leads to a lot of NFL guys going down the college and not
understanding the college may be an opportunity. Not to everywhere is Ohio State, but there are others.
When we saw him at the Combine had him on the show with Combine and he hung out with us for a
little bit after at the Combine, he seemed like he was a very, very happy man. Like, I don't know if
he knew his contract was coming. That's why he was so happy, but he was very happy. He seemed like
he loved being at Ohio State. He loved teaching the college kids. He talked to us about how even he
was pairing all the guys for the Combine and what they would face there. He talked about him
knowing defense. Yes, he obviously knows defense, but like he was telling us stories about going to
the archives with coach Belichek and like finding videos of Lombardi doing tackling tapes. And I'm
talking Vince Lombardi doing tackling tapes. And like you could tell how like how like that was like
the greatest thing he's ever experienced in his life. That man loves ball more than anyone. I think
that I've talked to in a long, long time. So I think he just loves being a part of ball on teaching
kids and being a part of it. He's very, very. He loved ball more. He loved ball more. No, no, no,
change. I think he does close. He loves. He loves. Yeah, he's pretty committed to that thing.
He loves coaching. Yeah, he loves getting better. He loves coaching more than that's been off football.
Yeah, we love what we live off ball. I mean, baseball just kind of came into my life. So I think
about, but I understand what you're saying. He's always in there. I mean, he draws. He
remember he had a last table so he could draw a place in any moment. He had his dry race board
everywhere. So I respect and appreciate Matt Patricia. I also like that he's having fun. I like
he's getting paid for it. Who's his agent you think? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
was it that guy? Yeah. Oh, okay. Sure. Big deluxe did it again. Yeah. He's done it again.
Got everyone. Don't tell Jeff Landry. Now, Jeff Landry didn't really know who big deluxe was,
I think, who he was representing who wasn't joining us. I was a man who's supposed to join us
about 12 minutes ago. Couldn't figure out the audio. Well, maybe on our side, maybe on their side,
maybe it's connection issue. He covers obviously golf. And I think the duck dynasty family.
Which I love. I absolutely love for ESP. He is go dogs live from the players championship.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mark's label. Do dogs.
Sorry. I took the SDC. You're out of minutes to figure out the technology. Yeah, I heard. I heard
there's a little bit of a give and take back there. Bruce was in my ear. He's not on. I can't hear
him. And we know it's your go dogs, which we respect. Quick question. Before we get into this,
we only have like four minutes. Is it what's that coming down the track? Or who's that coming
down the track whenever we call dogs? As far as I know, it's who's that coming down the track,
but it's been I'm a biased observer. So I haven't seen that in a while. Okay. Well, maybe we'll
get to it at the end of this. I will say there is a little bit of a gap between dogs fans where
you guys need to figure that out because I've said, what's that? Whenever I'm calling dogs,
lucky to do it. And who's that? In both times, I got people attacking me. Okay. So it seems like it's
you know, a no win situation, but I want to let you know I'm a go dogs guy myself. I love
to sickle. They're pretty lathered up. So I'm sure they don't get it right. Well, I
nothing finer in the land, you know, than drunk Georgia fans. So it's right there in the call. Okay,
let's talk a little bit about this players championship as we have a few minutes here. What do we
need to know? I saw Scotty was spraying it all over the place. I think obviously this is the first
big turn of the year. What do we need to know from what's going on down there, Mark?
Yeah, he's been struggling with the swing for a while now. You know, he doesn't like talking about
it. He doesn't like reporters asking him about it, but he's gotten off to some slow starts. He's
struggling, you know, fighting the swing a little bit. Maverick McNeil, he probably the last guy
who needs any money is tied for the lead right now. Tommy Fleetwood, golf, Jesus, back on top,
tied for the lead of five under. He chipped in from about 29 feet on number 16. And then when
birdie birdie on 17 and 18, which is an absolute feat. So so he's tied up there. Victor Havan,
a guy you would probably love. Pat, heavy metal dude, let's just do it before his rounds.
Not the not metallic or anything, but the European we're all going to die. Heavy metal.
Let's tell you what, you're really back up. We'll look back from the dead. It tied for four,
and a lot of it over up there as well. Okay, we've been following along with TGL. I think we're
some of the only ones with all these guys getting ready for this PGA season. And Mark, I'll tell you
what, I didn't know what to expect when he came on here. Love that you just immediately go,
Scotty don't like talking about it, but his swing sucks right now. He needs to get better. And
Tommy Fleetwood, the guy doesn't have McNeil, he doesn't need any money. Tommy Fleetwood,
Jesus, back in there and I'll tell you what, Hofflin, doesn't listen to actual metal music
that you're paying. We're all going to die stuff. This guy is an animal and a specimen. Mark,
I love the way you fit the ground running here on our particular program. We will certainly have
to do this again. We have about one minute left before a hard out. And Tony has a question for you
about everybody's fantasy golf and gambling golf. Yeah, Mark biggest news of the day. Everyone's
pissed at Colin Moorakawa. He withdraws after the first hole that he plays on number 10. He gets
on the tee at 11. Feel something in his back. Have you heard anything else about Moorakawa?
Nah, he struggled with the back a little bit in the past. That was along among those who woke up
pissed off after that. When I picked him to win this week. You know, he's struggling with the back.
Roll it, Roy. Guys, Roy is supposed to go off at 142. They pushed back the tee times because we
just had about a 30 minute rain delay. But he came out yesterday, didn't have anything longer than
a six iron. Shut it down most of the week with a back injury. So we'll see if he goes. You know,
this is a big tournament. He's the defending champion. But I'm sure his eyes and his mind are on
Augusta National. So do you do your risk at this week? All right. Well, leading up to Augusta,
we will certainly want to chat with you again, especially because you're go dogs. And we appreciate
you making the time even though there was a little tech malfunction there that delayed our convo.
Why fight a little better at Augusta National where everything is better.
Hey, TPC, you got to figure it out down there. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Mark Schlabeau.
Okay, we know that came in swigging. Yeah. Scotty, I'm about sick of him being mad at us.
Yeah, I have eyes, Scotty. Okay. I'm actually asking his question because I know your game. Okay,
and I respect you. Swing shit right now. McNeely, last guy that needs money. I don't know that
is me. No, yeah, I don't really get a scratch off. He busted. I had no idea. Schlabeau, dog.
There he is. Go dogs. Our two is on the other side. JJ Watwood Jonas and AJ Hawk.
Me, your friend, tell friends, something nice about my change in their life. Go dogs.

Are the greatest? Please talk to Mark Schlaibacher. You'll definitely hear again on this show
about the players championship happening down there in Jacksonville. It feels like he potentially
turned off the Wi-Fi on his phone. Sure. So, him being mad about the Wi-Fi, I'm not
sure if he even knows what the Wi-Fi is at this point because of technology, but go dogs. He
was electric. Cannot wait to talk to him again. Also, the players championship, interesting news.
Colin Moorakawa plays a whole then withdraws. A lot of people are thinking he was going to do
well this weekend, maybe in fantasy golf or super duper pick them things. They pay 50 bucks
down there with a bunch of other people and you get 1,000 emails about it. That has been a lot
of fun. A lot of people picked him in that particular type of thing. So, Schlaibacher was also
pissed off about that. And then he said, keep an eye out tomorrow for Rory. In a Rory's defending
champ, but he has a little bit of a back thing happening as well. Augusta Masters coming up here very
shortly. Well, he risk it. So, at 140, I think Rory is teeing off. I guess we'll keep our eye out for
that as well. TPC sawgrass down there. Players championship taking place. It's on ESPN. I believe
all weekend. Cannot wait to see who starts this golf season off with a dub. Sky chef for swing,
just it sucks. He's figured out that terrible. I mean off the tee block all morning. Spray. Yeah,
left. Spray. Then right. But you know, this is Tiger Woods, though. Yeah. Tiger was a guy that
sprayed it. And then he just had to grind through it. And then whenever it mattered, it mattered.
And when it doesn't, it don't. That's why what Scotty does on Thursday, Schlaibacher worried about.
Scotty's like, well, I'm waking up on Friday. How many do I got to go get? And then he's getting it.
And then Saturday and Sunday, it's Scotty time. And that's what PJ is hoping for at least.
Because when sheffler's name is on the board on Sunday throughout PJ season, I'm turning in
where they at this weekend. The who gives a fuck open over there and wherever it is. I don't care
is Scotty playing. Yes, I'd like to see him demolish this course. So hopefully he's able to tighten
up and get going. And also I did pick him in the super duper golf pick them contested because he
Scotty Sheffler. Schlaibacher says, take a look at his swing. See if you'll pick him again next week.
We shall see baseball happened last night in a huge way. Let's go to the toxic table at Boston
Connor at Tyshmit. Maybe the most important Italian baseball game of all time for me as an
American last night without question. And I think, you know, maybe the most important Italian
baseball game in the history of the world. And luckily, Vinnie Pasquintino, you know, the good
lad from Virginia, he said, you know what? I don't want to see USA out of this thing. I just don't
I'm a USA guy. I got teammates on that team. And he responded in kind by being the first player
in the history of the world baseball classic to hit three donginis in one game. He goes big fly.
So big coming out party for him. Obviously, he was being up last night. He told us he was doing
several espresso shots. And now it kind of goes from, hey, it's a great story with team Italy. Like
they're on the other side of the bracket. They have a chance to do the impossible again.
Oh, if they beat Puerto Rico and potentially beat a team like Japan to like, now their eyes are
set on, hey, let's go win this thing. Okay. We aren't just like the fun story anymore. Let's go
win this thing. They're hot as an espresso. They are. They're really hot. They got hot bats. They're
not the only ones at the Dominican Republic team. Yeah. They're on fire. Have a good time. They're
good for baseball. Yeah. Moving them to Tupi, I understand because we needed the Italians to get a
win. But I don't know what that is. I don't know where that is. I have no idea how to get there.
So I only got to see clips. Turns out clips all you really need for the Dominican Republic
baseball because they have so many different angles of balls getting sent to orbit and then the
entire place igniting into a full frenzy. It is spectacular watching the Dominican Republic
team play. And for the boys Guerrero and the T's. Yeah. And so do. And the boys down here. Austin
Well, Austin, all these guys, it has to feel so good knowing that you can ignite an entire
stadium. Just one crack at the bat. This place is going to go crazy. That has to be a phenomenal
feeling. Like actually has to be a phenomenal feeling that I think this world baseball classic brings
more so than any baseball until what? Like actual college baseball has it, I guess, but like world
series types. Yeah. Pretty much. Pretty much because everyone knows that the first couple months of
the season, if you're a baseball fan, sure you'll watch them. But like most casual fan who is just
getting into baseball, they're not checking in until what, you know, mid September maybe like you
might watch some all star game stuff. But yeah, like this is the most important game for probably
five months, six months. Let's go to one half of the hammer down Cowboys AP town town who we betting
on. Obviously money line, USA. I don't think it's max bet. Yeah, just to run it back. Double it.
Double it. We need 10 of them on that now. They're not as favorite as they were against the
Italian. So that'll certainly tell you that anything can happen, especially when you put five
grand on a mice 1100 thing, just trying to get a dub in the scroll. All I want to see is a green.
You want to cry? Yeah. The crown is supposed to be mine. Yeah. And then the Italians said, oh,
no, God, I'll go. And I said, you're right. Yes, you're right. Now we know Candle is not going to do
that. No, don't do that. No, we can do this. They're not going to do it. There's no chance. They
got no shot. Shut up, Gumpi. You should bet the spread. It won't be close. Okay, you should.
You should bet the United States of America minus 10 because there's no way they let us down.
The roses locked in now, baby. He knows, hey, going forward, we do have to win these games.
And judgey, I would put the farm on judge to hit a home run. I think right now I can see it.
Maybe two. I don't see why he doesn't hit two. I mean, we just saw three. Exactly. And judge,
judge saw two. And he said, you know what? This is for making color. Boom. Yeah. This is for
Jack Hughes. In Hollywood. Boom. This one is for us. Boom. And then we'll hold on. Let's get one
for Italy too. Oh, yeah. For the boys. It was like alone. Boom. Why not? Yeah, there's a chance.
That's what Aaron judge us. Bryce Harper might get hot. There's a chance that that happens.
I can see that. I can see that too. Yeah, because there's a chance that these boys were going to
get it down and infamy as being the American team to let everybody down just a couple weeks
removed from Megan and Jackie and Halibak and a medal of freedom and after parties. And look,
have you seen the Paralympics? So I thought we were never going to win the one. That's like one.
We got we got the oxana. I believe her name is oxana. Yep. She's doing the she's got the
well, he's a sniper. Yeah, she's an after a slight she won the whole thing. I think it's our eleventh
I believe metal, metal, metal in summer and winter Olympics. We got the Paralympic athlete.
I believe her name is oxana. Yeah, it was oxana. Yes. Cool name. Very cool. Fantastic.
Cool name. And then she was in there when I think and they had it. Yeah,
bold. I saw her like breathe like it was like. She's going to take the shot now.
Yeah, we can win now. I don't know we could win. I don't know. USA can win those types of sports.
But the baseball we should definitely win just a couple weeks removed from all that while this
is happening with oxana. It's like the boys need the win. And I think I think you're right.
All the boys are hitting fingers. I'm not even questioning it at this point. We might be
be Canada by 25. Cal Raleigh might hit one for the right side. And then say, this has been fun.
Goes over to the left side does the same damn thing because now these games matter. And the boys know
it. No, I agree. I'd so for Cal Raleigh hitting it out of the infield for now before he, you know,
hits a homer for both sides of the plate. We need he hadn't done much. But no, walking it down on
defense. He's my great defense. Good coverage. Yeah. Yeah. No wild pitches. Certainly not.
Smith might have to start. Yeah. Well, we'll see. We'll see what they're, but again,
to Connor's point. This is the ultimate second chance at life because boy, Dero, you know,
good friend of the show. Great man. But like that, that was threat level midnight for him.
If we wouldn't have made it through, I mean, the way he was getting killed on social media,
all the stuff that he had been saying and everyone basically just being like, are you kidding me?
The guy who's coaching our team had no fucking idea what we needed to get into the next round.
Bruce Brown said, I'll say exact names. Bruce Brown said yesterday,
we used to be a civilized society where people just resigned whenever they made
I'm sure I'm sure Dero was thinking about it, but hey, look, we're back. It's all
matter now. Now. Casey to one story in it. He's not allowed to go on his run of his normal 20,
he's just one now. We need the boys in there to three. And if they can't get up by nine PM to
play baseball or whatever 8 PM to play baseball, they don't deserve to wear the flag. The
the boys should be able to tell stories, the boys should be able to drink. And they
should know that hey, we got to go play now, got to earn that right. And they haven't
yet. I don't think I think while they're telling their stories, they were talking about
how good they were being in. I mean, team. I agree. That was like a celebratory. Hey,
we sealed the group. We are going to be the top seed in the group. There was no thought
of, hey, there's a chance that we don't. And they were right. And they were right. And
they were right. Even known they had a game against Italy. And they were right. So nonetheless,
we move on with them being right. Joining us now is a great American. Okay, a man who's
currently in an Attic in Ohio, a man who was doing some tech stuff this morning, a college
football national champion, Super Bowl champion, Ryder Cup winner, ladies and gentlemen,
AJ Hawker, great work on the tech stuff. I think we'll find out mid show on whether
or not it's all actually happening or not. Talk back potentially both ways. Oh, wow.
Maybe. Yes, I can. Now you do it. Yeah, do it back. Oh, yeah, he sounded like pick
rolls, extra purples like dang look, but you're in there though. You're definitely in there.
Yeah, that's awesome news. Look at us. We're going to be able to actually function here.
I think AJ, the Italians do something big for USA. Did you see big pass watch on the program?
And what are your thoughts on how baseball is kind of still in our life now? Because there
was, I think people think we were joking in this entire thing. I'm not sure I would
brought up just strictly because I wouldn't want to see the backlash of everybody attacking
America with our baseball team being a bunch of losers if they didn't make it out of the
ball. So I don't know if I would have continued to chat about it. The boys had their last catch
yesterday. Round of thunder to them knowing that baseball put a bit over and it lives on.
Thank God to the Italians. Yeah, I think Vinnie was awesome. I mean, he came on here.
He understands the gig. He knows what's going on. I thought he, uh, he was a great, great
guest. I mean, I still question, I guess what makes somebody Italian enough to be
on the Italian team? I'm not going to get him a hard time. I think you should, you
should play, I guess the name situation goes, but I mean, have we ever gone down the line
of everybody on the show and say, Hey, what team could these guys possibly play for?
Yeah, I think so. Uh, we'll start doing that going forward. Like, for instance, one
of my grandparents is from, you know, somewhere over there. So I can get in where, not
Italy. Yeah. Southern middle. He did say you do have to track back to over there. It's
like, well, then 23 and me, which, huh? Boy, oh boy. We all kind of came from somewhere
else, didn't we? Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Is that all the WBC? Listen, you need to
get your lineage. You need to get to, I want to see the family tree and I want to know
what city. And if it goes there, you got it. I like that. I like if that's all you got
to really do because that 23 and me once again, well, what all was it doing, you know,
23, but I learned I'm 0.01% Italian. So I could potentially somewhere, right? If they put
the tree together, I could potentially be a part of the espresso boys taking over baseball.
Yeah. I made sure I had them delete all of my information before they, before they
sold it to the highest bidder. Um, but I know I could play for team Italy, my great-grandfather,
great-grandmother from straight off the boat. So same. I respect that for Italy. You think
you could play for? I don't see why not joining us now as a man who would only play for
the United States or America like me. You guys are all trying to find pathways to play
for somebody else. If they're drinking espresso, he's about as Americans. Yeah. Vinnie
Pasquen thinking of the guy coming on joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who
would, uh, I think he'd be a good winter Olympian. He needs to focus on some of those sports
that we have nobody that would do. He would running up the mountain. Yeah. He's bad. Yeah.
The worst one skeleton. He's one monobop. He go like a, he go like 450 miles an hour
down that day. That's the head first one or the first one. I think it's the head first one.
Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is potential future winter Olympian and winter gold
medalist owner of Burnley and also Espanol and also, uh, ball time and also, uh, tag
tag and also, he's one of the faces of El Paso, uh, tacos. That is great. Uh, dick
sports. It loves it. It's boring. That one. Joms. Joms. Where do you get ice cream from?
Culvers. Culvers, ladies and gentlemen, JJ what? Yeah.
I love you, JJ guys. Good to be back. It has been a while. How does everybody do it? Yeah.
We've been doing the same old same old, you know, just covering everything for ENZ friends
who, which we certainly want to ask you about, USA baseball, you know, USA Olympics, all
this type of stuff. How do you feel about the, uh, Americans battling in this baseball?
Have you got a chance to watch any of it? I an, are you a baseball person? I, uh, no,
I, um, I'm going to be honest with you here. I'm on a little vacation at the moment with
the family. Uh, the only thing that I've heard is that we don't know the rules. It's the
only thing that I've heard about the whole thing. I don't like that. I don't like that
change. I don't like that. You need to, I just assume we were going to just host our,
I think I guess our coach did too. I thought we were just going to coach our way, our
coach started way all the way through. See? I mean, we got Aaron judge. We got these
guys. No problem. And it turns out slight problem, but just a minor hiccup. We are now
back on our way to the gold medal. That's right. And that's all you need to know. Everything
you said before that final sentence, let's delete it. Men in black thing, which, okay,
let's just go ahead and completely delete that out of there. Let's get it out. Let's
just remember we're moving forward. We got to beat Canada. Canada, camp is in baseball.
Yeah, Friday, Friday, eight o'clock. You got to take that straight up. Now baseball, we're
going to put them in a, in a, they're going to need some, some conversations. We pulled
this one out, which I mean, clearly looks like we should, according to that graphic
right there. Good Lord. Well, it was minus 11 hard, actually, against Italy and some
of us better on that, actually. And yeah, it was a rough go. So sometimes you just need
to see a win and then all of a sudden the Italians get a bunch of espresso and I'm not,
and the got the goals no good for the American team. And a massive upset happens,
Jade. So I have seen the picture who is also the Chetia, the Chetia picture. The
former, yeah, the electrician saw that. That was all sees a spark. Pretty cool. Yeah, four
and a half, four and a half endings, pitch, no hits against Japan. We don't have guys
that can do it on our team somehow. Maybe we should bring some plumbers in it. Other
in schemes. Thank you. And Logan Web. Everybody else that's in that pitching unit. We need
to pick it up. This guy is pitching better than you in a world baseball classic. Can't
have that happen. Yeah. Okay. Can't have that happen. Go for it. But once again, anything
happened before doesn't matter. This is a good story. That was guy. Yeah. Let's talk about
good stories. Free agency frenzy. Obviously you are first round draft pick. Okay. But your
first big deal or your second big deal is really where generational wealth comes in life
changing things happen. Not only your life, but your entire community takes place. Was
there anything during free agency frenzy that got you kind of zipped up? The Carolina
Panthers go all in. I mean, Carolina Panthers spend a shit ton of money. The Raiders obviously
go all in and then boom, they get Max Crosby back as well. What are your thoughts on that
situation and free agency as a whole, JJ? What? Yeah. Once again, as stated on vacation
with the family. So not entirely. We need an exact date. Yeah. Come on. Yeah. But no,
I obviously have been following the Crosby situation, which is wild. I mean, pretty
unbelievable coincidences that trade Hendricks and app and to be available in the coming hours
immediately after it all fell through. Incredible. They're just perfect luck for that situation.
But he seems excited about the possibility of going back and rejoining the Raiders. So
looking forward to seeing that. I would imagine we'll find out in the next couple weeks
here if the team feels the same way. If the market has cooled off and there's nobody
offering the same things, but whatever he wants, some looking forward to seeing. That's
a badass gif, gif that he used with the undertaker. So looking forward to seeing him back
out there. Mendoza, Clint Kubiak. I'm a big, Clint Kubiak fan. So I'm looking forward
to seeing what he does with the Raiders. Maybe they got it right down there. Maybe they
did. You never say jiff in real life, right? Because jiff's the peanut butter. Giff is
this thing. I don't say any of it in real life. I was probably possibly the first time
I've ever said it out loud. And I didn't like the way it sounded coming out of my mouth.
I thought you checked both boxes, though, because I think the creator allegedly wanted to
be a jiff. Well, he showed up with his jay, but jiff peanut butter got him. But we all
say gif. And I'm happy I could experience your first. You never forget that. Hey, good
for you, man. That was cool. Hey, that was cool. Hey, who's the creator? Who's the creator?
Dr. Jeff. Mr. Peanut. You know, Jeff Jeff. I don't think he was Mr. Peanut worldwide. I don't
think that was the case as well. But the Max Cosby situation, Jayge, as we wrap it up,
we know you're on vacation. We asked Dr. David Cha yesterday, former, I believe is with the
chargers position for long. Great. Oh, it was before the needle. Okay. There's probably
a lot of things in there. I assume in every resume, you can certainly find some stuff that
you don't love. But he told us he told us he told us the teams have been able to do this,
obviously, whenever. And they gave us an entire escrow thing. But we never hear it at this
high of a level. Why do you think that, and obviously, you said very fastening the trays available
and all this type of stuff, this can't become a move, right? Like this cannot become the regular
that these, especially to star players. I think it made everybody look bad. I think it's made
everybody look bad. Not just, you know, Ravens, I think it made the NFL look bad. I think Max
Cosby is going to use this as a motivation for another thing for a chip on his shoulders.
It's always been counted out. It's like, I don't think this was good at all, especially in a time
where three points, some billion in contracts were handed out. You know what I mean? I just
don't think it's good, Jake. I don't think it's good for the league. No, I fully agree with you.
And I agree. I mean, unless I'm missing one of my memory here, I can never remember one happening
at this large of a level with this big of a deal, this high level of a player, this many first
round picks on the line and everything. I mean, absolutely right that with any trade or any
trade in any situation, everything is always pending in physical. That's every single move ever.
You have to pass the physical forward to go through. With Max's situation, we all know that he's
coming off of a surgery. Everybody's well aware that he just did. Everybody's well aware that if
you're asking, is he physically healthy to play today? The answer is no, but you're going based off
of where he's going to be down the line. Now, apparently, I mean, I'm not, I'm not going to play
doctor here and pretend that I can act like I know what they're talking about inside that building,
but they're going to say that they found something in that final examination when they saw him in
person that they didn't like, whether it was their own MRI or whether it was the doctor physically
touching his knee and saying like, I don't know guys, but everybody knew what situation was going
into this. It was pretty like you know what you're getting into in these situations, which is why
you rarely see moves fall through, especially at this high of a level. It's, it's certainly
interesting to say the least. Yeah, the cost that he's more gutted, ain't boy. That's right. He's
more gutted, ain't buddy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. A lot of. Oh, yeah, sir. A lot of. Oh, yeah, sir.
You know, yeah, town down there. What does the doctor say? I mean, we none of us need to speculate
anything. He can just tell us. Well, he actually told us because I asked a follow-up question that
don't all you doctors have different views on same scans? And he goes, yes, absolutely. One doctor
can think that something is detrimental and one doctor can say, no, I think it's good. So there's
really no. So these doctors have kind of put themselves in a position where there's any right answer
could be a right answer, because I'm a doctor and I see it. So like, there's no real battling it,
which is what Dr. David Chow basically said is the NFL won't investigate the NFL won't punish.
There's really nothing they can do about it. They'll move on. This is something that can happen.
It's kind of how he explained it. The NFL is going to have to figure out how not to have it happen.
Or you just move Wednesday at four to noon on Monday and use those deals are actual deals then
as opposed to a 48 hour escrow period, because if teams just start back, I mean, that's not good.
That is not good at all. All right, let's move along here in the same world, though. Go ahead, AJ.
Yeah, Jay, there's some pundits out there saying that they think this could affect the Ravens,
maybe in the future, maybe some potential bridge and signings, like some superstars may not look
at the Ravens that they normally would. They may not go there. Do you think this can have any
impact down the road, I guess, when it comes to signing guys? I mean, I'd love to say that the answer
is yes, but like this league, we all know it's a league that's based on money and it's based on
what you can get. Now, if you get a deal that you think is a great deal, you're going to take that
deal. Now, the one thing that I do, like, I mean, this put the Raiders in a bad spot. I mean,
there is zero question about that, like thinking how everything was logistically planned out for
their free agency and moving forward and their draft and everything that they were planning. This
is certainly put them in a different spot, including their leverage for any trade situation for Max
now in the foreseeable future. So there is, there does have to be that one hint of like, hey,
is this team going to pull this on us? Are they going to find a better deal, get cold feet,
are they going to find something wrong in the physical? You do have to think about that a little
bit. Do I think that goes away quickly? I do. I definitely think in free agency in terms of
guys picking places to go. It's a conversation, but you know how it goes money talks. How much they
offer? 35 million. Who are they? Ravens. They screwed over Max. 35 million. All right. Yeah.
All right. We'll do that. They're going to pay me that or no. Are they going to back out of that?
Well, that's always roll the dice with the Ravens, but it does feel like it is pretty good at this
particular point. The Lamar Jackson, no extension thing happened. I mean, it just feels really
negative over there, but we like mentor and we like Bashadi. Love shot. And we assume the Ravens
are going to be good, but it's like it does feel pretty negative over there right now.
Tray Hendrixson obviously gets the quarterback just as good as anybody in the history of the league.
If you were to look at his numbers and when they are, he knows the division. Never about the off
season. Never about the off season. Nobody wins the Super Bowl in the off season. The press
conferences don't win you any games. You can also, you're not losing it right now either. So
Ravens have been a successful organization for a long time. This is all going to shake out.
And by the time the middle of the season rolls around, we're not going to talk about it or remember
it. Who knows? Maybe they're in the same spot. Final success again. I love that. I love that,
Ajay. Listen, yeah, it's negative vibes. Okay. They haven't even been in the building yet.
And they don't even know who's on the team. The vibes. It was in the building. The,
was not in the building. Both of them are actually allegedly. There was, yeah,
but he's not in the building anymore. Nope. So I guess the building, we had an awkward experience,
but guess what? He's gone now. So, Tray, you liked what we did that day. Didn't we? It's, uh,
I don't know. This is a weird start to Mentor's campaign, but we assume Butta and Stavi
and it's causing everybody will like what happens. Of course. They have Lamar Jackson.
They're going to win games. That's all you really need. Okay. Let's go to some quarterback
talk now. Jage. Can we? Yeah, Jage. Good to see. It looks like he's got a fresh haircut.
And that's why you're wearing a hat. We'll be interested to see what that looks like. But, um,
oh, yeah. That looks good. Yeah. That's great. That's so great. Cut. Yeah. Holy shit.
This guy looks so good. Nice blowing. It's about time for another thirst trap. Isn't it,
Jage? Out there on Instagram. Take a shirt off, run the beach. Do the whole thing. It feels like
it. It feels like it's time. You look good, dude. Yeah. Ventant. Not to mention the beard.
Perfect stat. Oh my, do you do that yourself? Are you? Are you fading that yourself?
Ah, yes. I do. Why? Five-tool player unbelievable. You can do it all. Just so you know,
a couple of free agent moves here. Malik Willis. Now the starting quarterback in Miami.
Tuwa. Now the starter in Atlanta. Gino. Now the starter for the Jets. And now Kyler, most likely
going to be the starter in Minnesota on a one-year deal. How do you feel about some of those moves?
Obviously you play with Kyler. So if you think he fits in Minnesota, the best out of those four,
but what do you think about kind of the musical chairs at quarterback that happens every
offseason and typically one or two of them end up surprising a lot of people and doing very well?
Yeah. I think that there is a massive amount of
credence to be put into somebody getting a fresh start somewhere new. And I love,
you know, sometimes it doesn't end the way that you wanted to. And obviously Kyler would have
loved a more successful run there in Arizona, but I'm really looking forward to seeing whatever's
next for him because it's his first opportunity at a fresh start here in the NFL. And if that is
in Minnesota, we'll see. I mean, obviously they have JJ McCarthy there. Bekeving O'Connell's
been very successful. And sometimes it literally is just a fresh perspective, fresh messages,
fresh everything that gives a guy another chance in a new situation. It can be completely
different than what it was before. And obviously you got a guy like Malik, who has shown a lot of
success in his short stints in Green Bay when he was given the opportunity. So now he goes down
there to Miami, he's handed the keys. I mean, they took a whole lot of dead money on the table there
for Tua, who now we get to see in Atlanta. So I love the new opportunities. And I think for fans,
you can easily trick yourself into the optimism of new situation, new outcome. And I personally
choose to look at those as excitement as opposed to negativity because I love giving guys that second
chance. And it's a lot of fun when they have success. I mean, we just watched Sam Donald win the
Super Bowl. And that wasn't his second or third shot, you know? Yeah, Sam Baker, Kirk, I mean,
there's a lot of players that get their second opportunity and they make the most of it. I mean,
you could even consider Mac Jones in that even though he hasn't been given the keys and he
were to do it completely. He's been talked about as like a pretty good NFL player when everybody
thought he was going to be a bust in a fizzle out after one good year. And I saw him with a glass
ice shot glass. Yep. Yeah. Dumb. That guy's throwing strikes. Yes, he is. And in a medium dance
afternoon. Yeah, good moves. Yeah, immediately into a change. He feels like he's the next one to have
that second chapter. Maybe. I haven't seen. I mean, I think Colts are obviously sticking with Daniel
Jones. I believe I believe I saw that, but he's not going to be good to start season. So we're
going right away now. You saw it in your nightmare. Actually, yeah, it's happening. He's good
by OTA's potentially with the way he is working his ass off. We're on ESPN news. That was not real.
That was satire. He will be back. Don't report that. Don't report that. We ESPN news. We're doing
the news here that OTA's he would not be back for it. But he seemingly very confident. He's back
for regular season. And as a man who calls every Houston Texans game, basically their home color
commentator, another Daniel Jones is back to running. Wow. Oh, having won it in 11 years.
But we're coming now. Who's playing my receiver? Oh, the highest paid free agent wide receiver
in history. Alec deep ball. I wear pinstripe suits while signing the deal here. Yeah. Yeah. So if
you want to ask questions about who's cooking in a kitchen in the AFC South, it's Chris Ballard.
And he lacks his gas. And you're in trouble down there, brother. If that's why you were saying
what you were saying. Oh, okay. And let's go for us on a team. Hey, you. Yeah. I've never seen
somebody. I like more coming to the team than this guy. We all remember this moment where he was
letting people not you, you definitely fuck you. You can get one too. You're cool. I think you said
the one Jets fan that was trapped you. No, no, no, above you. Yeah, the guy above you. You, you,
yes, you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That guy's coming to team. So, Jade, just, uh, just a heads up
brother on what's coming. We're doing the news and the news for you. Problematic Houston. You got
a Daniel Jones problem still is what I'm trying to say, Jade, which I think you were trying to say
as well as I kind of cut you off. No, I was, uh, no, Houston's strong. Houston's strong. I mean,
you gotta score. How are you gonna score points? Where are the points going to come from again?
So they're making illegal deals. Daniel Jones got a brand new Achilles and, uh, a brand new,
I like like, and you're right. What's going on down there? We're paying the deal, but we're giving
them back in deals. So the NFL says, no, that's not real. Can't do that. I don't know what
the area is up there down there, but I don't know if you've heard because you've been on vacation.
The NFL said that deal is not real. That's what the NFL said. I've never heard that before.
I mean, I have a feeling they're going to figure it out. I got it. I got a good feeling. They're
going to figure that out. Maybe not with many around the corner. Yeah. That's good point.
Just area. It's got will. Will's got to get paid here. Will's going to get paid orange.
Got to be the highest paid edge doing the NFL, NFL history when it's all said and done here.
They trade up for him. Yeah. What a great. I mean, Houston Texans have done a great job,
donner. Yeah. All day. On the back end too, I believe they just signed blank and shipped
with safety. Don't love what you guys did. They're going to broke up a tandem that we'd never
seen before. Uh, but I do understand you got to make a play every once in a while because
here he sees one of those and he thinks to himself.
Hey guys, exciting. I like Pierce man. I like Pierce. Pierce is a good player.
Pierce is good players. He's fun to watch. I really enjoyed calling some of him. He's dirty,
though. Got himself thrown out of the game. Dirty, dirty. You get played. You agreed with that too.
What are you talking about? Yeah. What do you mean? What do you mean? The headbutted that ref?
That was crazy. That was crazy. It was. I couldn't believe that. Yeah. Well,
James, you're always viewing something with a little slight bias. We know that. But you never
would let it come through the microphone, you know, or seem to come through the microphone,
which is why we respect you so much. Just know the coats haven't hung a banner in a long time.
Well, start hanging banners because we haven't hung a banner in a long time. We're going to
get back to banner hanging days. And that's going to be with Daniel Jones with a brand new
Achilles. And that's another guy, second chapter in a career. We were just chitchatting about
there with potentially Kyler in Minnesota. Daniel Jones gives a lot of credit to KOC because
his preparation, how he views things feels like he changes the player. A lot of these players
are going to do that and hopefully able to make the most of it. Let's speak about a guy
making a move that we could have never expected. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah. James, Mike Evans signing with
the 49ers. Now, I think a lot of people, I mean, the bucks even said it to like, hey, we want him
to be a one helmet guy. I think a lot of people assumed you would just stay there. I think a lot
of people probably assumed you were going to be a one helmet guy with the Texans. How difficult
was that process, you know, deciding, hey, I am going to go somewhere else. And what do you think
the expectations are for Mike Evans? We're talking about a lot of guys with second chapter this
in all likelihood is his last chapter. Yeah. I mean, there's no question. There's obviously a
major appeal to being a one helmet guy. But there's also so many factors at play that
sometimes it's easy to be a fan and have that nostalgia view and put those glass to those
rose colored glasses on and think that everything is just, oh, there's no brainer, absolutely not.
But there are so many things, whether it's inside the building, outside the building, whether it's
your own goals, aspirations, different things going on that change, what that actually looks like.
It was interesting. I was talking to my wife about this the other day because I was, you know,
people come around and they say certain things, whether it's about your career, they want pictures
and they want to talk about things. And we were talking about musicians in how sometimes musicians
don't play or they talk about how once they, when they have to play their old hits over and over
again for their entire career. Some of them really love it and they'll play them for the end of time
and they can't wait to play it again for the 10 million time. And then there's others that are like,
that was a phase of my life. And I moved on from that phase and those words have a different meaning
to me than they do to you because of what I lived and what I went through. And there's just a
different chapter to that. And I think that sometimes that's what happens with players where everybody
from the outside might look at it and say like, oh, how could you possibly want to try something new
or but who knows? Maybe he's been there for this long and he unfortunately hasn't, you know,
doesn't feel like this is the time for him to do what he wants to do in this phase. So he's going
to move on and try something else. Tell you what, that 49ers uniform is going to be a damn nice
addition to his closet because those fucking years uniforms are sick. Yeah. He's going to have a
sweet jersey wall here coming up. Agreed. And what he's going to do in a Shanahan offense we assume
is going to be spectacular. And he came out and said, there he is looking very cool. Shout to the
Jersey swaps that happen all over the internet, but both very elementary and awesome. There's
all different levels all across the place. He is going to look sweet, but that Shanahan offense
can be outrageous, especially if you just saw what Tay Adams was able to do with Los Angeles Rams.
He had 10 touchdowns within a five yard line. And we just assume Mike Evans is unguardable down
there. And I don't think Shanahan and Brock Pretty will be scared to weaponize that, especially
with Christian McAfry in a backfield that you have to respect the box in the entire thing. So
we assume it's going to be great. Allegedly, the reports were that the Tempe Buccaneers were very
aggressive whenever coming to finances. But Mike Evans wanted to try a new challenge, you know,
something new. And you talk about singers not one to, you know, sing some songs because it reminds
them as you flop back and forth there from mere mode to straight on mode, which I appreciate you
doing down there in the lower right corner. Some musicians don't want to play songs because it reminds
them of a place because you don't want to be up on a stage singing, up on a stage singing that,
you know what we're talking about, Judge? He went back to Abiza. Love songs now. Love songs,
he says every single time. So I know exactly what you're talking about. You're talking about
Posner. You're saying Mike Evans is potentially Mike Posner with Abiza in sad songs. And sometimes
you just want to live a different chapter and tell different stories. Is that what you're saying?
Yes. Can I ask you? Absolutely. Thanks. How many Posner?
I don't know. I was trying to do all that just to get into fact that I'm happy Posner's happy.
You know, good song. So he's not, he's not going to play the hits or he is. So not that one.
We got a new one for the pillar of Abiza. Okay. Now he's 12 years older and six years sober and
if each year or more, you know, and then all he knows is love songs. But he's going to have to go back
and play some, you know, some buried in Detroit, I believe. I just want to hear songs.
Oh, yeah. Foxy's been pumping Posner hard here. You know, baby, please don't go.
It does suck that they have to relive all this. But how about when they're singing love songs
that they wrote, definitely about somebody. And then they're up on stage and she's potentially,
you know, out loving song in somebody else. Right. That's music football though. Yeah,
it is music football. I guess you got to be able to separate, you know, your feelings from the song.
But then they say, all you need is your feelings for your song, though. So that's tough.
I heard you got it. You got it. It's a hit for a reason. People want to hear it being go.
But yeah, if we're paying money for tickets, play the hit. Yeah. But what if I don't want to go through
the emotional trauma? I don't give a shit about your own liberty. The lady I wrote the song
about is smoothing another guy in the third row. Change the lyrics. You want me to sing that song?
Don't write songs about women then. Well, that's the one in these songs. A lot of these songs
are about love and heartbreak. Write them about your dog then. That's not great.
The dog dies though. Then you'll be then you start crying on stage.
Oh, exactly. Well, then change the lyrics. Well, he did. Oh, I know every time he forms,
he gets love songs, love songs, love songs. I hate that.
I hate some kids. I hate that. What is that all about? Just don't do that.
Don't take what you did in the past and realize that everybody still wants you to
to sing that because that's one of like the three good songs that you have.
And he has bangers on bangers on bangers. No, he's not. I saw him do a 10 song show.
All of them heaters. He's not. He's got a couple in his catalog,
but if I'm expected, I took a pill in Ibiza and then this guy's moping and
patting about something else and repackaging it and trying to say it's the same thing.
I'm not okay with that. All right. Well, it's a good song.
If he has that, it's a love song. Thank you. I'll give it a listen after the show.
Joining us now is a man who brought up all these sad songs. Thanks for being a
Debbie Donner with no internet. Ladies and gentlemen, live from Vacation, J.J.
Wall. That missed a dookie conversation. We're talking about dookie here.
Dookie's super positive song. I would like to say.
As a super positive song. Where is it? I thought we were getting like a full album,
music career. I saw it. The Grand Ole Opry yesterday, I think. I mean, I thought,
when is this launch coming? Where is the? They saying dookie in good old days were vlog
songs. Okay, we had to make vlog songs. So that's what they are.
The entire catalog that I'll be releasing is it was hard. I got to travel down
Nashville again. I got to go down there again. There's a real thing. I guess they do real
stuff here. They don't just want your recording and your phone turns out.
It turns out. Yeah, it turns out.
Voice memo app isn't how it works. I certainly tried. I tried a couple times. I'm like,
no, no, no, no, no, no. He's expected my voice to be good. They're like, yeah, but like,
don't we want this to kind of? Don't we? We're one and we want this. There's like,
these are like your songs, man. This is like your, shouldn't we show it? Why do you work
with us? You can just, you can just make this by yourself. Yeah, you're a garage band, right?
Yeah, exactly. That is kind of what the conversation has been. So I have wanted to release the
shitty versions of all these like just where, hey, this is what it would sound like with voice memo.
Like, let's put what are we doing? Like maybe next week we can just say, can we please?
That's another thing is like, can we just please do this? Can we just like actually do this
right? I'm like, you got it. Are you letting the suits take control? Are you letting the suits
so people that are going into the grand old operating people? It's like the, uh, it's the actual
talent, you know, they're like, and also the suits over there. Seth, that's ethical. He's a thinker.
He's a dog. They're trying to take care of me though, which has been very cool, but yes,
they'll be coming. You will hear him in some of them looking forward to it. Some of them are
much better than I expected. Did AJ have a verse? AJ has good old days. I mean, AJ always
like to say the good old days were living them. This breathless stress. I'm not singing,
Jay. I'm not out there singing. I love hearing that voice. I think we all would love to hear
Fergie and Jesus over there. I would be a little Fergie, Jesus, Mitch, wouldn't it? That'd be awesome.
Maybe Fergie, Jesus come play for Burnley. What's going on? I just got news from the backroom
that you guys suck again. Well, I thought we were good. Come on. I thought we were good. What happened?
Gumpies in the backroom. Burnley's going down three leagues, if possible. That's what Gumpies say.
What? Jay, what happened? The refs are screwing you? Do we stink? What's going on? Little both.
We went down three no in the first half, looked bleak, really rough, bad half, really bad half.
One in and a half time. Actually, no, we scored one right before half because it was an
awful one there. So three one and a half and then came out in the second half, just hair on
fire. Put up, came back, three, three, went to take the lead. Yeah, they are called it off by
a sliver of a sleeve on offside. That's bullshit. I mean, who scored four three then,
then 96 minute or whatever, we score to tie it up to take a point. VAR calls it back,
called it a handball. Now fast forward Thursday after the game. Come on. I get on the call with
the VAR officials. Let me see what's going on. I'm trying to fight the answers. Let me hear the
communication between the video people and the people on the pitch. Let me hear the rest
thoughts. Let me hear those people's thoughts. Fascinating. Very, very interesting. Would love to hear
this type of stuff in FL sign. First thing I will say, they have a very difficult job. They have a
very, very difficult job and they have to do it very, very quickly and they have to like move around
and sleans and everything. Very hard job. Second thing I will say, they were wrong.
Once with that whole meeting, acknowledge that you guys are doing a lot of due diligence. We
appreciate the interactions you are having back and forth and what you see and what you don't see
and what you can solidify. At the end of it, you're wrong. If I come back on one of these,
I'm going to let you know, you're wrong again. I appreciate what you do. They got a shot of you
very pissed about the second one getting taken. I mean, this guy has a footballer right there.
That's right. A guy has a footballer right there. Sweet trench coat with the tie all the way down.
I mean, just so angled. You're very sute.
Van is like a cat with a shit. What's the lady's name over there for the Ted Lasso's team?
She gets the biscuits. That's a real name. I don't can't remember what her name is.
Rebecca. Rebecca Welton. Is that what happens?
Boom. Wait, great work.
That's good news. That is real news. That's their actual name.
Okay, so we don't know if that, okay, he just fact checked himself. So you guys can certainly do
that at home if you want. Does anybody bring you biscuits every morning? How does it work as
an owner of one of these English teams? And do you have a fit that you have to wear?
Do you have to dress like that to be a part of the action over there?
No, away matches. When you're in somebody else's executive box, you do have to wear a suit and tie.
In our stadium, we are we're in Burnley and we are we enjoy a more casual style. Sometimes I'll
wear a suit and tie. Sometimes I wear a t-shirt and my hat. But it's really cool. I love this aspect
of English football. It's cool. Instead of tailgating basically, you go in and sit down and have
a three-course meal for the match. And then you go out there and you watch the match, right?
So I've told it before, but I have my pre-match routine. I get dropped off at the Royal Dice
with pub. I go into the Royal Dice. I have a pint again. The Burnley Miners Club. I have a
Benny-Bomb walk into the stadium. I have my three-course meal. And then I watch the match.
And we lose. You got a drink more, dude. I didn't mean that. I didn't mean any of that. That was
rude that I said that it was just kind of sitting there. I was waiting for the time to do that.
Because the boys are going to start winning. I know they are. I got a feeling that the boys are
going to keep winning. That's especially if you keep with your routine. Do the same thing.
I'm going to start putting some negative reviews on these songs when they come out.
Do not!
Come on, dude. They've got good reviews. One star is dukey. He sounds like dukey.
Listen, dukey, was it aggressive choice for your first song to put out? Okay, I will say.
Now, but on that note, they were needed for a full one.
Quit the WWE. Did I see that?
The other one?
Quit the WWE.
Jesus, it's not my time rate. I was not the time. I got a pregnant wife. We got a show.
There's a lot going on. And also business is a different way. The business has potentially
moved completely. They're in a good spot. I mean, it is.
From what I read, you own everything. All of you call the shots everywhere.
What I read. I'm just telling you what I read on vacation. When I wake up and I walk to grab
my coffee in the morning, I don't catch a lot of news, but I catch a little. And it says
baseball thing. We didn't know what we were doing. It says, the bad McAfee runs everything at all
times. And it says, Max Crosby, something weird happened. That's the three things of news that I
got. Okay.
And then when he gets his coffee, he spits in the tip jar.
Yes, it does. I'm not doing any of these. You already logged me for 20%.
Is that coming back to me? I did all the work.
That's a conversation worth having.
I'm with you, Jay. I'm with you on that.
I did it because I'm not going to be that guy. I'm staring them in the face. I do the 20%
because it's on there. And I'm going to do it. And I'm not going to be that guy.
But I serve my own coffee. I picked up my own food. I put my own food in the trash.

Joe Ryan will replace Clayton Kershaw in Team USA.
He's roster.
Wow.
Kershaw.
And Kershaw doing it for the team.
Wow.
That checks out.
We need Joe Ryan for the final.
There are only a lot of certain amount of throws
and then a certain amount of things and then places do stuff.
And we just need Joe Ryan out there.
And Joe, what he could do with a baseball,
people say that's world class.
Yeah, he was originally.
That's actually world baseball class.
Well said.
Thank you.
He was originally supposed to be one of our starters
and he had some back issues.
So he had to pull out and the whole idea was, hey,
hopefully this guy will be healthy enough
to kind of rejoin the team post pool play
because yeah, he might be the type of guy
who will start the championship
if we were to get there.
Breaking news.
Clayton Kershaw is final full winning.
Yeah.
It was done.
Yeah.
With this man standing in the batter's box,
what an honor.
An absolute honor of a lifetime.
Kersh, you're the man, dude.
Oh, yeah.
Kersh.
You are the man.
Okay, I didn't know we just add players
in the middle of the world baseball classic.
Maybe Jason Kendall gets a call.
Maybe cool.
And be cool, especially against Ken and I.
I assume he'll require.
Kendall can, he can still,
he can still knock it around.
I thought about him 14 times when I was in that
batter's box.
You should have.
WWJKD.
Yeah, first of all,
exactly.
It was written right here.
I thought I thought on the tape.
I thought about taking the gloves off,
you know, for real.
Pissing on your hand.
Token up a little bit.
Yeah, you see Kendall stuff, you know what I mean?
Why would you piss on your hands?
That's what it does.
Hard enough, my calluses.
Have you ever worked before?
That's not how it works.
I think piss is going to harden your calluses.
I don't know.
You drink it.
Does it, does it?
You tell us.
Someone doesn't know what I was going to say.
Wow, have you ever done a hard day's work
one time in your life?
Charlie Hustle did it every day.
Unbelievable.
Moistletaloo actually did do that.
Yes, every day.
You see those butter palms you got over there.
AJG's Louise.
Probably filthy right now.
He shakes a hand, feels a callus,
ew, you know what I mean?
Oh no, oh no.
I'm always trying to get my little
guys to carry heavy bars around.
You got to build your calluses up young, man.
It is crazy.
You shake somebody's hand and there's no callus in there.
I don't know.
Or they have like just baby soft hand drag.
Man, what do you sleep with?
Vaseline gloves?
Like what is that?
That's enough.
Are you working on this?
It feels like this is a, it's working.
Moisture.
These are very soft.
Shake hands.
With lifting gloves.
You've done the lifting gloves all the time.
I see that.
Paul the famer of Vladimir Guerrero's senior
was known to urinate his hands toughen him up.
Moisture.
Okay.
Yeah.
Oh, prevents blisters.
Okay, I get it.
Yeah, it hardens it up.
It hardens it up.
It's like, uh,
otter skin.
Beaver skin.
Beaver.
Beaver.
Yeah.
Beaver.
Let your otters are pretty not like a beaver.
All right.
Some news that we have not covered
that we definitely need to cover
with AJ.
Matt Patricia.
Highest paid DC in ball at Ohio State.
We talked about this in the first hour.
You obviously in the area over there.
So the love is blind for union last night.
Oh, it was awesome.
I tell you what,
I don't think I've ever watched
more confusing television
and the confusion was
hazard by like this.
Uh, but you only watched
you did not any of this.
Yeah.
And it was great.
It was great.
New last night.
And they didn't show any clips
from the show.
They didn't show any clips from
not enough though.
No, you can't.
You can't get to our union.
The whole thing is like,
wow, these people are so absurd.
And then they get to watch it.
So then the reunion comes
after they've seen themselves on TV.
Yeah.
And the Chris was pretty uncomfortable.
Oh, man.
There's a good spot.
Hang on after him.
I haven't felt bad for him.
Halfway through.
I didn't watch the season,
but it turns out everybody kind of
hates that guy.
Yeah, he was very tough.
Anyways, so that was in a hot,
you know, there's a couple OH IOs
out of LaShayah from 98 degrees.
And he, him and that lady are
getting back into that.
Yeah, believe they are.
Yeah, for a long time.
So they're in love
doing a show about finding love.
They created it.
And I'll tell you what, Mr.
LaShay, Mr. 98 degrees,
he put some feet to the fire.
He could host.
It was kind of uncomfortable.
Kind of broke out what you did in this game.
Yeah, Chris, that's so enough.
Uh, can you add something to Conor, please?
Nick LaShayah kind of bodied in a
bullied some people last night
and they're getting things right.
But anyways, that's Ohio.
Let's go back to Ohio,
come to Ohio.
That's awesome.
You watch that.
I have pumped.
You watch every,
you know, idea how bummed out all of us
were that Jordan and his wife
ended up getting a divorce
four months after the mayor.
Jordan was the big sweaty one.
Yeah.
So he felt like he was in a bad spot.
I don't think he was really trying
in terms of how she probably
would have been a tough thing kind of
do.
Oh, yeah.
It was a tough situation,
but he swayed the crowd.
Everyone was team Jordan by the end of it.
I didn't see that coming, yeah.
It felt like at the end of their little
give and take whenever she gets up in leaves
and he goes,
sorry about that to the crowd,
a little pop out of the crowd.
Oh, yeah.
It was like, okay, okay, I like that.
Everyone in the crowd formerly
was on the show, by the way.
So they get it.
Everyone understood exactly.
He was a big,
a hot sweaty Ohio.
Oh, yeah.
I think he played,
he played a lot of sleep.
That was happy he came out on the right side there.
That seemed like he was potentially signing up
for misery there,
but who knows if anybody,
yeah, there's a couple of couples
that are still together from Charlotte.
I saw you all coming, kids.
Is the show ever do anything other than just
watching them speak through the wall
because I saw a little bit of the thing.
Oh, yeah.
That's all they did.
I think they're bound into somewhere.
That's just the first four episodes.
I don't want them on these shows.
I think it's virtual reality, though.
I think they pull on.
It's kind of just kind of a can't see anything.
You put a suck machine on the guy or something.
No, you pervert.
Then what is the show?
No, that is suck machine.
They don't want that.
They don't be in on the other side, yeah.
Stop when they don't see each other.
They do, they do the love is bar.
Then they propose the person,
then they go on him.
And then Beetlejuice from Howard Stern is in there.
Come on.
And then they move back.
They're in there.
Anyway, Boston's next.
It's going to be nothing.
Boston's going to be crazy.
They need to do a Pittsburgh one.
I don't know if they do a blob is blind.
Pittsburgh, I'm in.
Yeah, I was certainly watching.
The amount of Italian sitting behind walls
that they're going to be cooped up in.
I cannot wait to kind of see how that all started.
I got a goal.
But it was in Ohio.
And actually, one of them said in the reunion,
he was so pumped to Mapatrisha's son.
The biggest deal.
Yeah, I didn't.
In the history of college football coaches,
AJ is his sentiment echo everybody else in Columbus
or how do we feel about Mapatrisha coming back for sure?
Oh, yeah.
I would definitely agree with the gentleman
from Bubba's Blind on the reunion
talking about Mapatrisha.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, pay the guy as much as you as much as you want.
The guy's unbelievable.
He came in and he had think of the standard
and the expectations he had coming in
to make this defense very good.
They lost a ton of great players
and they come out like gangbusters
and played unbelievable.
See, yeah, you definitely should bring this guy back.
Yeah, I love that he talked to us a little bit
at the Combine.
We ran into him.
He was on the show also had a had a drink with him
one of the nights or whatever.
And him talking about how he kind of just
rolled out and rolled in his plan to the players
without the players even knowing
that they were installing like,
hey, there's like 15 things being installed right now,
but actually it's only four.
Hey, only need you guys to know four things.
And then off those four things,
he just multiplied.
And it's like, Ohio State's always going to have the talent.
If you've got a defense coordinator
that understands ball and loves ball,
it feels like a good decision.
Three points some million, though.
You're going to have a lot of pro coaches going,
hey, hit me down there.
I don't know how many of those schools exist.
Ohio State will definitely always be one of them.
And that's what Love is Blind was saying.
Now, we will continue digitally
as ESPN The News continues telling you the news.
We'll be back tomorrow for a feel good Friday.
Be a friend's girlfriend.
Something nice in my change our life.
Goodbye news.
I think we're back on news one o'clock tomorrow.
Oh, okay, okay.
Doing the news.
Doing the news.
Oh, should you on do this day in history?
Now we are.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is 157 Eastern on this
doing the news Thursday, March 12,
2026 and time for a segment called
on this day on this day.
Sorry, it's thinking.
I mean, I can't tell this thing to speed up.
It's just I read some of us.
Stop telling them.
Thank you because they're sick of to compute the thank you.
What didn't even think about it?
And plus that you burned down like a forest if you do that.
On this day, March 12, 1908,
the Montreal Wanderers won the Stanley Cup
defeating the Winnipeg Maple Leafs.
And that was the last time Canada won the Stanley Cup.
Oh!
118 years ago, it's a good time.
That's a good time.
Wow, oh, here's one.
On this day in 2020,
the NCAA canceled the men's basketball tournament.
Due to COVID-19.
I remember Utah being the first one that really sounded the alarms.
It was a jazz game, I believe.
And the PA announcer comes on and says,
he's, uh, nobody panic.
Everybody is get the fuck out of here immediately.
Don't touch anybody.
Don't look at anybody.
We're all my fucking die.
Do not panic.
Well, he's exit the building.
And then we got to go bear.
Yeah.
Turns out he was right.
Situation.
And then the March madness was delayed.
Delayed.
And then inevitably canceled.
And then our world changed completely forever.
I'm excited to see what we all learn long-term for that.
But what I learned is we survived.
Yeah, we did.
If you're watching the show right now, we survived.
We lost a lot of people during that.
And it changed a lot of people during that.
That was a crazy social experiment that took place.
And we're on the other side of it.
And we, uh, we, uh,
Oh, yeah.
We beat COVID.
We didn't.
For those that are new to the program,
we celebrated beating COVID no less than 32 times.
Had to.
Anytime something happened where it felt like it was the good old days
before COVID happened,
we celebrated full on by the way.
Oh, yeah.
Had to for the goodness of society.
Palm.
And then all of a sudden, the next day, we'll come around
new mass restrictions.
Or I was like, what the fuck?
We just had a fucking.
I thought we won.
I thought we beat this thing.
I know.
Wave 47's coming in, actually.
And it's freight trains fucking mad.
It's like God damn it.
I thought we had a fucking stadium last week.
How do you more shut her down?
And then Greg, thank you, sir.
We're playing fucking football in the South.
It's he didn't always.
Justin Fields wrote that petition when he was a quarterback
of Ohio State.
Hey, we want to play football.
Let us go play in the SEC.
If you're not going to play,
that guy's another president of the Bears.
Yeah, yes, yes he is.
And they're coming to Indiana.
Has that been officialized?
I don't know.
Any movement in close.
All right, let's go watch the players championship.
Yes.
That was genuine.
Yeah.
It's been so fun tournament.
It's been awesome all morning.
It's a breezy day down.
It is pretty narrow.
And now we know that Mark Scotty
shall for fuck off.
Malback is fucking out.
Mark Malback.
What?
Wave-osh.
Just a slave box.
Yes, that was on the show.
Yes, Mark Malback.
I heard that.
I just read a name.
I just read the guy first is McNeely.
So I read the name and I combined the tool.
McNeely turns out did hit a scratch off
because I want a slave ball as big takeaways as
McNeely's in first.
He's the last guy that needs any of this money.
And then he just moved on to Barry and Tommy Fleetwood.
Golf Jesus is there.
McNeely turns out billionaire.
Yeah, his parents' family
going to get in here at a fortune.
So he did kind of hit a scratch off
in an Ipso facto fashion.
And, um,
slave ball was on top of it from the beginning.
It was.
And that's why we were on ESPN the news
because slave ball was going to come through.
How do we find a slave ball to come on the show?
We literally Google in search.
Who from ESPN does the golf?
And then all of a sudden Nick goes,
there's got a Mark Slayball.
He's good dogs.
He's down there.
And we're like, who's this guy?
So we look up his Twitter account.
Hasn't tweaked since 2019.
That's right.
Is this a blue sky guy?
Let's go check out blue sky.
I'm sure there's a big echo over there.
Nothing on blue sky.
Is this not the right?
You go with nothing.
That guy's radio silent on social media.
He's a writer.
Old school.
Somebody needs to tell his ass.
He needs to start getting more thoughts.
He needs to start putting up shots.
He needs to start putting up more shots.
Because he came in and he dropped four tweets.
Just right off the jump.
He was electrifying it.
Couldn't figure out the Wi-Fi, the connection,
the whole mute situation.
Born in Indiana.
Yeah, we like Slayball.
He was good.
His name is Schlayball, though.
Okay.
And it's spelled Schlay Batch.
Yeah.
Schlaybach.
Yeah, it's like Maybach.
And yeah, like Maybach, but also like.
All back.
Yeah, it's a good one.
He does a good boy and I small back.
And he's done writing.
Yeah, I think so.
That's all me.
Mark, I apologize.
I actually truly enjoyed you on the show.
All right, let's get out of here.
What's happening tonight?
A lot of college basketball.
No WBC tonight.
That's back tomorrow.
Tomorrow's huge day for WBC.
Yeah, first round of core five.

He does now.
He knows all the rules now.
I think he got the, the binder of
World Baseball Classic rules and he fucking read over that thing
about a hundred times last night.
He might have been in that gym early when he kicked Vinnie out.
Maybe he didn't know it was their time.
Be a friend, tell a friend something nice
and might change your life.
Except for Canada.
Don't tell any of them, not something nice.
Not till Saturday.
We don't know what's gonna happen in his baseball game more.
Canada, you guys have beautiful top topography.

And it's our sport this time.
That's right.

Just like your sport became our sport a couple of weeks ago.
Can't have Canada do that to us.
No, we can't.
We've been way too loud.
We need to get our loudness in now.
