We'll get to weekend observations here in just a second.

Travis Kelsey, three years.

What is?

You have Kelsey playing out three years, three years of a contract.

First off, how many times do we need to announce that Travis Kelsey is indeed coming back?

I thought we announced that about two weeks ago.

But three years seems like a little, two years too many for Travis Kelsey.

What do you think?

You got to announce it as many times as the Swifties want you to announce it.

Also, it feels like Travis Kelsey is the new Udonis Haslam, maybe just the vet too they need

on the team, but maybe they don't need him playing because they didn't look great last

year.

They just like had more years of that.

Right.

Well, I looked okay last year.

I think he's got about a year left.

Three years seems like two years.

They don't do any.

Yes.

He's not averaging two points per game.

I mean.

Okay.

I'm sorry if I exaggerated on the Udonis Haslam bit, but yeah, get what I'm saying.

This feels a little bit like cap manipulation.

Like oh, we'll give you a three year deal, but you're going to push some of those numbers

later.

That's what this feels like.

All right.

Are you guys damn buyer?

Most importantly, are you guys ready here for for weekend observations?

By the way, it is a Mount Rushmore Monday.

We have not forgotten.

We usually do.

We have not forgotten.

We will do a Mount Rushmore Monday coming up in our number two.

Dan, you ready for this?

Let's do it.

All right.

Let's do it.

I need some music.

Oh, look at how I was saying.

He is going to wear four.

Truly.

You want to know how rare.

Yeah.

Never brought sweets for us.

Until today.

Yes.

Until today.

Yes.

Well, part of that was because stew is in studio.

I thought all of it was because stew was in studio.

So it's like, truly.

As it should be.

Yes.

I hate all of you.

Well, he's got four plates of pastries, and he keeps reminding us that he purchased pastries.

Right?

Come and get him.

And even make him himself.

I love your pastries.

There's history here with this, too.

I mean, it could move.

Yes.

Yeah.

I wish you weren't.

I mean.

But just so you guys know that Sam once bought baseball hats for members of the crew here.

Yeah.

But he gave people that he liked more fitted ones.

And then the ones that he didn't like as much got adjustable hats.

I don't want to give him the most adjustable hat ever.

I got an adjustable hat.

It's not like I liked Dan Les.

It was just there are certain circles of purchase.

It was none of those circles of, because I still spent a pretty penny on all those hats.

All right.

You guys like him less.

So you're saying Dan has a giant head.

And you can't do it.

Right.

All the above.

E.P. Jason.

What'd you get?

I got nothing.

He wasn't working here yet.

I'll tell you what guys.

Sam doesn't spend money on anything.

If you take a look at his hair right now, he hasn't gotten a haircut in at least six months.

He doesn't spend money on anything.

But two gods comes in studio and we got an entire spread.

I appreciate you, Sam.

Well, they were on discounts.

They're going to be thrown out anyway.

So there you go.

All right.

Here we go.

And fire.

It's been a while since they made it to the second weekend of March madness.

1999 to be exact.

With Mike Jarvis on the sideline.

And Bootsie Thornton and Ron Arthas stuffing the stat sheet.

Oh, and the boys.

Yes.

Nobody have been able to capture that magic since then.

Until this year, that is.

Because in the sweet 16.

Just like that.

Make no mistake about it.

St. John's.

Is back.

The Johnny's.

Taylor, why do you like Rick Patino?

Like what happened here?

All of a sudden, you're the biggest Patino fan in the world.

I mean, he's likeable.

I'm watching him.

I'm watching him holding cord after that game.

And I'm like, man, he's.

I can kind of listen to him talk all day.

Yes.

And he will talk all day.

Yes.

Put it on the ball.

You went Bootsie Thornton there.

First.

When Ron Arthas was right there.

I know.

Point Bootsie there.

Put it on the pole.

Does anyone love the sound of their own voice more so than Rick Patino?

Larry Burke's not walking through that door.

It is crazy, man.

That dude has been through a lot.

He went.

He went all the way to Iona.

I just to come back to this moment.

Come on his way back.

Yes.

And he'll leave St. John's in a heartbeat.

I promise you.

If God forbid, Carolina gets rid of you, but Davis.

Oh, God.

Eric Bootsie.

So that makes this run down.

But Eric Barkley, part of those St. John's team.

Yes.

Thank you.

I want Bootsie Thornton.

Bootsie Thornton.

Great name.

Top five people in sports and entertainment who can note something you would wear on your feet.

Ooh.

Number five.

Jean Shoe.

Okay.

There you go.

Have a couple of shoes.

Got it up.

Yeah.

Number four.

Jack Sock.

Fanfare.

Bye-bye.

Got a lot going on.

I mean, I will win.

I will win.

Women's team is on.

He's got a lot happening.

Fanfare in.

We can't observations.

Two and one.

All right.

It's blowing my mind here.

Yeah.

Number three.

Bootsie Thornton.

Number two.

Eric Wedge.

Good skipper.

What are you?

Wedges.

What do you call wedges?

What are wedges to you?

Are those like thong sandals?

No, almost like heels.

Yeah.

Okay.

Should have put heels on here.

Tarheels.

Up.

Number one.

A person.

Mega trainer.

Hey.

You know, I'm British there, but I like it.

I like those sports and entertainment.

Just so one can get in.

Well, that's what you have to do.

Yeah.

Stay with me.

I'm right in front of you.

Let's try that one again.

To the guy who says.

I have that in my other brackets.

Just know.

Everybody hates you.

We got through the whole top five there.

Yeah, we did.

Okay.

Yeah, fuck.

We did.

Shoe sock.

Bootsie.

I think he's going to leave it. The

free throw line at the end. Shoot

want to go. I mean, I did not want

to touch the ball at the end

somehow. No, or play defense

for that.

All right. This St. John's team

lives in the mud. The one thing

you can't do is let Rick

Patino get you in a street fight

unless it's during the day

preferably in the sun. Rick

Patino can suck the life out of a

game and suck the blood out of your

neck at the same time, same time.

Three point nine seconds to Rick

Patino might as well be a lifetime

which for him is an eternity.

It's literally forever. You

give Rick Patino three point nine

seconds and he'll rip your heart out.

You got for bid give him 14 seconds

and he'll have sex with you on the

floor of an Italian restaurant.

A little bit over and done within

14 seconds. Someone needs to do a

deep dive on what happened that night.

Seriously. She's calling it a 10

second violation. Wow.

Tim buyer. Throwback. Rick

Patino should get a statue

outside of Madison Square Garden.

The Mecca. He should also get a

statue outside of that Italian

restaurant.

You know popular. Everyone loves it.

You know what he did. What did he do

still? He called game.

Apparently his own play. Yeah.

Yes. With his off hands. Yeah.

It scored a lot. Yeah. It scored

a lot. Afternoon. Here in the

post game. Yeah. They asked him if

that was his first buzzer beater

ever or whatever game winner ever.

Yeah. And he was like in college

or something like that. And he was

what you do it and Rick. You know

says what you do it in the NBA and

his player had to remind him no

coach. I played in high school

and in middle school before I got

here.

It's the exact opposite of

Hoosers. Right. Yes.

St. Louis wasn't even bad.

Michigan was just that good.

The Billikins.

Why you making a face there, Izzy?

You don't think Michigan is that

good? No, because I was waiting

for you to say more like the

Billikants. Yeah. I should have

you're right. Really. Yeah.

It's a type of joke. We should

send it out. We should maybe

send the odds over to you once

in a while. Maybe. Yeah.

Perhaps you would have run

over. You're a writer.

Here's something to ponder.

Is it possible that Michael

Jordan will be a better

NASCAR team owner?

Then NBA player?

No need to discuss now.

Stash it away for a rainy day.

I'm good. I don't need to

stack. He's literally winning.

I mean, he does. He wins

every weekend. He does.

I'm going to tell him that he's

behind the wheel of the car.

I don't think it matters.

That's fair.

Right. He should be driving

to America's Michael Jordan.

Do it in the car.

Yes.

He's probably going to leave

midseason and do the tour to

France and then come back at the

end. Right. Right.

Win it. Yes.

That's what the dad always wanted.

Yes.

If there was ever a put the

kids to bed game, it would be

Nick Cronin versus Dan Hurley.

They could fight.

You know what they might

actually fight on the sideline.

They good. They did yesterday.

You know what Dan Hurley is

doing today?

Attending Nick Cronin's

funeral.

Camp Scataboo says CTE is

fake.

It's always who you most

expect.

It's always who you most

expect.

CTE is fake, but he might be

suffering from it as it is.

Camp Scataboo looks like the

poster child for CTE.

I'm sorry. I jumped your gun.

You can't spell CTE without

Camp Scataboo.

The Timberwolves had lost 18

straight games to Boston.

You of course know what that will

involves it.

I'm sorry, Taylor.

I'm sorry.

Let me start again.

I'm going to ask Dan a question

and I'm teasing you in advance.

I also have a correction.

Okay.

Well, save your correction for a

second.

What is it?

That Scataboo is not the

poster child for CTE.

You can't spell Camp Scataboo

without CTE.

Yeah, that's what he said.

No, it was the other way around.

I heard it.

Yeah.

Well, it's not real.

Here's a question.

Dan, did you know what he meant?

I did.

All right.

Guilty is charged.

Back to Minnesota.

The Timberwolves had lost 18

straight games in Boston.

You of course know what that means,

Dan.

They were due.

Yay!

You're on it, Dan.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate that.

The last time the Timberwolves

beat the Celtics in Boston was

21 months before Cooper Flagg

was born.

That was unbelievable.

Yeah, well, of course.

Gonzaga, frauds.

You know what the F and Mark

few stands for?

Dan.

What's that still?

Fraud.

Everybody gave it to you, Dan.

Yes.

I was right there, laid it up.

But he's doing other stuff.

He's got other responsibilities around

it.

It's a nice studio by the way, Dan.

Didn't stop him from correcting you

on that one.

Oh, listen.

Wait.

I'm doing it.

It's all kept on keeping her seats.

Don't worry.

It doesn't matter what he's doing is he

if one of us is wrong, he will be there.

And we need him.

Ever since day two, when I was corrected

on my update, that's, you know, that's when

all right.

Not corrected.

Not tailored.

Yeah.

It's all for the suggestion.

Criticized.

Yeah.

Criticized.

Yeah.

We're supposed to have Taylor

do an update, right?

Dan, I mean.

Yeah.

Someday soon.

He likes to critique ice as well.

Friends you open time.

Yeah.

If you pick Gonzaga to go far in your

bracket, you have nobody to blame

but yourself.

If Gonzaga played in the ACC, they'd be

wake forest.

The deeks.

You can count on one hand.

How many big wins Gonzaga has had?

You could say they are marked few

and far between.

The most memorable loss, of course, was

Adam Morrison's cry, right?

Before the game was even over, before

it was over.

Hey, Cinderella's clock struck midnight.

You know what the C in Cinderella stands for?

Dan.

What's that?

Yeah, clock struck midnight.

Oh, that's Dan.

Lock in.

The new Cinderella is just to

whoever finishes in 12th place in the SEC.

Yes.

That's so good.

Death.

Taxes.

At Tom is those teams.

Playing their best basketball this

time of year.

Mr. March.

You know what the M in Michigan

state stands for?

March.

Hey, look at you.

You know what the S in Spartan stands

for?

Sweet 16.

Look, Dan, you are on it.

Big 10.

Getting 16.

So the sweet 16.

If not now.

When?

Probably next year.

And then you have to that.

You know where Alabama took Texas

tack, right, Dan?

Oh, behind that wood shed.

Yes, they did.

Right behind the wood shed.

Yukon, Michigan state.

Duke, St. John's.

The rare final four in the sweet 16.

Every 1989.

Those are such great matchups, man.

Oh, my God.

By the way, behind that wood shed was

two pounds of weed.

Oh, I love that wood shed.

Oh, that's like my point one.

Two point one to be exact.

Sounds like my kind of wood shed.

Michigan state's cone car.

Could save the dunk contest.

In honor of going car.

Top five athletes who can

know the mode of transportation.

OLI.

Rocket is male.

OLI.

Derrick car.

I don't know.

Derrick car.

Number five, Ben Jefferson.

Number four, Danny Ferry.

That's a good one.

Number three, Kenny Smith.

Jet.

Yeah, there you go.

Is he?

You're like, what?

Number two, Jerome Betis.

He?

What about Saturday?

Number one, Robert Tractor Trailer.

You really get, you really move around in a tractor?

Is it really a form of transportation?

Slowly, very slowly.

Yes.

Here come the breads.

Flank it off.

I'll take your word for it.

To the 22 men who were supposed

to be on the Bachelorette.

Before it got canceled.

Congratulations.

You dodged a bullet.

Wow.

Who would have ever thought, sorry?

That the game of the tournament

would be Nebraska and Vanderbilt.

The kid on Vanderbilt.

Almost had the greatest buzzer beater

in NCAA tournament history.

But it's a game of inches.

To anybody who doubted me for picking Nebraska.

Who is laughing now?

And up.

Nebraska ball.

I didn't say it right.

Nebraska ball.

There you go.

Darius Acuff.

A point in viewing.

You know what the A and Acuff stands for?

Arkansas.

A point in viewing.

Kentucky.

Do me a favor.

First, the goal coach Khala Pari

and apologize.

Iowa Nebraska for spot in the elite eight on the line.

Something has to give.

The goal is to survive in advance.

The Florida Gators didn't get that message.

Florida's last possession.

What the hell was that?

Speaking of hell?

Orpereils.

Dan.

Fire.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod.

Say hi, Dan.

Hey, how's it going today?

It's going good, man.

Tell us who you are and what you do.

I'm Dan Morgan.

I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan,

which is America's largest injury law firm.

That's pretty awesome.

I think I saw Billboard years recently that said 20 billion won.

20 billion is insane number.

Yeah, 20 billion recovered.

It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year.

And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows.

So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome.

So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan?

What would I do if I got into an accident?

Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law.

It's pound 529 from your cell phone.

We are always open.

Our call center is always waiting to take your call 24, 7, 365.

Wow.

Dan Morgan.

From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm.

Thanks for coming by the show.

Thanks for having me.

Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

Phil Mark Telly, Jr.

Head coach of VCU is with us.

He'll be here for another 15 to 20 minutes.

We have keep three, cut five coming up.

I want to say I don't know what the topic is, but I do.

We also will continue to take your phone calls at 877-99 on Fox.

That is 877-99 on Fox.

But coach, since you are a lover of sports radio, before we get to our game here, I'm going

to play three takes, three sports radio classic takes.

Okay.

From three sports radio giants, legends of the game.

Okay.

And I want you to metal stand them for me.

Bronze, silver, and gold of these ridiculous takes.

First is Mike Francesca.

Not Philadelphia, but New York.

A guy I'm certain you've listened to before.

Here is Mike Francesca taking a phone call.

Nick and New Jersey.

What's up, Nick?

Hey, Mike.

I was just wondering with the...

Yeah, he's in the baseball in general.

Do you ever see a team going undefeated in the regular season?

That being a dominant, the past and the dolphin, where they were in the table.

162 and all?

Yeah.

Like a team being that dominant.

Do you think that could be the fact that it happened in baseball?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not serious, right?

No, like we...

You always say, have you seen anybody come close to 162 and all?

Well, they didn't begin to be that one year, 120 and all.

Okay, wait, wait, wait.

I think he didn't win 120 and won 111 in the regular season.

That's still the only 50 games away.

50, not all game, 50 games away.

Yeah, but they had 110 wins.

They were good, but they weren't as dominant as the Patriots or other teams that...

Wait, wait, wait.

So you think a team that you're comparing winning 16 games to winning 162?

Well, obviously football has less games.

They couldn't have won one more game.

Football has less games, really.

Yeah, yeah.

You think they have less games?

No, well, I know football.

That's a 16.

Right, and the others have a hundred and six.

So you think a team could go 162 and all?

If they were that dominant, yeah.

You do.

They have like RV.

Right, so you think that to either...

Because the best team of all time...

I don't know what team you consider the best team of all time.

What team do you consider the best place for team of all time?

Maybe that murder is real game key team.

Okay, now, what do you think...

Now, that team played 154 games scheduled.

How many games do you think they won?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe...

How many games did they lost, though?

How many did they think they lost?

Maybe...

Probably 40.

Right, so how would you get from 40 to zero?

Well, they would need to be a lot better, obviously.

Let me know when it happens.

Okay, because I want to like watch.

Yeah.

I think about it.

Don't tell any of folks.

John and Breezy Point, what's up, John?

Hi, Mike.

What's happened?

What mental is silent?

I have no idea.

That is sports radio.

Next up, coach, Christopher Maddog Russo is former partner.

Now, whether the MOB put out a statement,

they got the word of course to their guys today

to get this out that it was due to an inappropriate relationship

with a sister-in-law who, you know, is in her 50s?

What's so inappropriate about that?

I understand.

I mean, you know, this happens all the time this stuff.

I mean, why would that be considered inappropriate?

It's a sister-in-law.

All right, so it's his brother's wife.

I mean, you know, I guess it's inappropriate.

But maybe he isn't at a family matter,

more so than it is a union matter.

Tell it, coach!

All right, it's your time to put him in the music.

It's a great time.

That's how he aborts uncomfortable conversation.

And here's the third one.

Again, three ridiculous takes from three sports radio giants,

the third one, courtesy of me.

Lamarcus Aldridge, awful.

I mean...

No, he's an embarrassment, man.

I'm telling you, Greg Popovich is going to get rid of that guy in the offseason.

He was an embarrassment last night.

He is so out of shape,

there are so many times where the rockets were playing five on four in offense,

because Lamarcus Aldridge was walking back on defense.

He's bad.

He's not a good...

I don't know what happened to him,

because when he was in Portland, he was fantastic.

He is not good, Dan.

He cost him the game last night, although they won the game.

But had they lost, I'm telling you,

it would have been on Lamarcus Aldridge.

And the only reason it's not is because they won the game.

Otherwise, San Antonio will be crushing it today,

and I'm still going to crush him even though they won.

What are we ranking these in order of stupidity?

Sports radio.

All right, good.

So the medal stand those for us,

bronze, your bronze medal winner is.

All right, so just so I'm clear,

the goal is the most ridiculous.

Yes, yes, yes.

I'm going to give you the bronze.

Nice.

Yes.

All right, I didn't see the game.

I don't know the game.

But yeah, if he was out there just dragging around.

Yeah.

I'm not mad at you for that.

Well, just so we're clear,

I said a guy cost him the game.

A game that they won.

They won, yeah.

That's a minor detail.

I've probably done the same in here,

going like, you know, screaming about a guy.

And like, we lost the game,

because of him, like, what we won the game.

But it feels like we lost.

I like it as a new segment.

Who would we have blamed if that team lost?

We should do that.

That's a pretty good one.

Mm-hmm.

And silver.

All right.

So silver, I got to give to my man 162 and now.

Yeah.

I got to give him silver.

Because I have a little bit of like,

we're eight minutes from Philly's first pitch.

Like, I kind of feel like they're going to go 162 and now

this year.

So I'm, you know, I do.

So it's not that crazy.

Mm-hmm.

Right.

If they do lose today,

I think that they're going 161 and one.

Yes.

Yeah, pretty ridiculous.

But in the grand scheme of things, I mean,

when you cross sports into like social norms,

and you're going like, way out, like,

where anybody, again, if my 13-year-old daughter

listened to that and heard somebody say 162 and now,

she wouldn't blink.

She heard that and like, wait, your mother's flight

like that would be okay.

The task from reality.

So those are the three staples of sports ready.

You've got from those three calls, Phil.

It was collars that you have to talk down

and just, just for your own sanity,

just put them in their place.

Yes.

And then you have, what was the second one again?

Oh, then you have older, usually white,

gentlemen, out of touch with reality.

Yeah.

But also getting older and just confused

by the entire story.

Yeah.

And then you have still got just forgetting

at a team one or less.

It's not a big deal.

You're right.

But Alders was not getting back on defense that night.

I mean, all right.

Since the Phillies start their season here,

coming up in about seven minutes,

we have a keep three cut five for your coach.

So Taylor's going to take us through this.

I am certain it's going to be Philadelphia related.

I say that because I sent them the topic.

Go ahead, Taylor.

So coach, we're going to have eight names.

It's keep three, cut five.

You get one name at a time.

You, Izzy and Stugots will have to come to

some sort of consensus to determine if we're keeping

or cutting said Philly.

It's all time Philly's.

And just to be clear.

That's it.

Just all time Philly's.

Yes.

It's not a top eight.

It's just a random eight Philly.

It's a dangerous game.

So we're only keeping three of these five.

Yeah.

We can have Dickie Phan on there.

Yeah.

But if that's the first name and you take them,

I mean, you know, Mike Schmidt might come.

And you don't have any room left, you know?

I got it.

All right.

So go ahead, Taylor.

The first name up.

Chase Altley.

Ooh.

Remember what we said.

You got to be careful about keeping the first one

or how attractive, no matter how many episodes.

That's always sunny.

He's been on since Phil loves the Philly's the most here.

Okay.

Why don't you and I vote?

And if there's a decision to be made,

there you go.

Coach Mortelli Jr. will make it.

So Chase Altley is an all-time great.

He's an all-time great Philadelphia Philly.

He's an all-time great period.

A fantastic player.

A player that, as a met fan, I hated.

I would keep Chase Altley.

I mean, I would cut him.

And this is more game philosophy than anything else.

I know there are a lot of good Philly's.

And so Chase is a good one.

But I would cut him, which means we got to go to the tiebreaker.

Yes.

Coach?

Well, he's the first name that came to mind.

Obviously, Schmidt is legendary.

Here's what I'll say about Chase Altley.

Anybody in Philadelphia is keeping Chase Altley.

So I'm keeping Chase Altley.

And I'll give you a big reason why.

My oldest is 16 years old.

He was born during that run.

He was in the hospital watching the NLCS

against the Dodgers in October 2009.

When we were still living in Philadelphia,

the number of Chase's his age,

he had three in his class alone.

Yeah.

So that man has a name called multiple boys

and probably some girls in Philadelphia named after him.

Yeah.

That's the place.

He has the Jalen Rose.

It's a major league name.

There were quite a few Carson's for Carson Woods' name.

Yeah.

That didn't work out well.

Yeah.

They should have named them Nick, right?

Carson Woods' name.

Coach, what did you go with?

Cliff Lee Martelli?

Chase Altley's a clear team name.

We're going to have a hard decision here coming up.

I'm sure that one's an easy one.

All right.

Next one.

Cliff Lee Martelli.

Go ahead, Taylor.

The next name up.

Lossido Polanco.

Oh, boy.

Oh, that's an easy guy.

Listen.

Great utility guy.

Great infielder.

Give you a big base in every now and then.

Singles hitter.

More than a power hitter.

But I like there has to be six better names than Polanco.

In terms of all time.

Great.

What a great name.

No.

Lossido Polanco.

If it sounds amazing.

If we were just doing all time.

Great Philly names.

Polanco would be a no-brainer.

Yes.

I think I would have to cut.

But I feel like we always got to go to Phil.

Because if he overrides our two cuts as a Philly guy.

Yes.

This is the one time where the one vote can override the time.

Yes.

You guys are right.

If this was a utility player.

Absolutely.

Utility.

Utility player.

It was a big fan of his.

But there's definitely two better names on this list.

Also.

If it was a hotel.

I'd go there.

The Polanco.

It sounds nice.

A nice place to go.

The Polanco.

It sounds like a hotel.

It sounds like five stars.

Yeah.

For sure.

Put it on the Polanco.

Does the hotel Polanco sound like it's a fossil?

You need the plastic.

The hotel.

Polanco.

Does it sound like a five star?

Yeah.

It sounds like a five star hotel.

Next name here.

Tell them.

The next name up.

Pat the Batboro.

Oh.

Wow.

U.M.

Legend.

That's the only, I would say, rival that I know of to U.F.

Baseball as a Gator Baseball guy.

Yes.

It's Pat Burrell.

Yeah.

We hit that, dude.

You have to think who else is still out there.

Whether it be, you know, Steve Carlton, Michael Jack Schmitz,

John Crock.

Or any of them nicknamed Pat the Bat.

Yeah.

Listen, I say no on Pat the Bat.

Is he saying yes?

I'm going to say yes.

I'm going to make this decision up to Phil.

Leave it up to Phil.

All right.

Well, I hate to go against Izzy, but I got to say no.

I knew.

He was a legend on the field.

He was probably more of a legend off the field from some

of the stories that you hear.

Yeah.

No, I've heard that, too.

I don't, he wouldn't be, if we were just doing a drip,

he wouldn't be my left fielder, you know, of all the left

fielders.

So I, there's got to be two better.

Right.

There has to be, but there might not be.

We'll see.

We'll find out.

That's the danger of the game.

Go ahead, Taylor.

Name number four.

Jimmy Rollins.

Wow.

Man, it's going to be tough.

Keep it him off.

I just think of that one video of Pat Burl where he had somebody

in like a leather mask behind him.

Just show up out of nowhere.

I'm sorry.

I'm getting off the subject here.

Not too much.

I think it's with the giant.

Yes.

Yeah.

You had a few kids roaming around Philadelphia with a name

Jimmy.

I mean,

brother, but he was born way before.

Yeah, there's a lot of Jimmy's, but not because of Jimmy Rollins,

but man, he's a hard one to keep off.

I mean, he was an MVP.

Yeah, right.

Yes.

Listen, I'm not keeping him off.

So I would keep.

Oh, man, the danger of this is he's going to give us Steve Carlton

and he's going to give us my chance.

Oh god.

I'm going to keep, uh, I'm going to keep Jimmy.

Man, MVP.

Yeah, I want to cut him

Only cuz you think there are better names come on cuz I think Taylor is a son of a gun. Yeah. All right. What do you think coach?

I mean we're halfway through this is like the you did a hell of a job. This is a perfect

Perfect halfway through names

He's really thinking about this. Yeah, this one is gonna hold me one way or another. It's gonna hold me

Yes, it is. Yes. Yeah, because someone else is gonna be left off, right?

Keep him. Oh, it's a key. Wow. So I'm in jail. Like he called the shot. He said we're gonna win the whole thing

You're right. They won the whole thing. Yeah question if you would have known and you could only keep one chase or Jimmy

Who do you keep? Oh question. I would keep chase. Okay. Wow

He's got he's got the hearts of Philly fans. I get a story. He told you know, so you guys have kept

Chase Utley kept Jimmy Rollins four names left whoo have to keep just one now. Wow the fifth name up

John Cruck Crucky Crucky. That's an easy cut. I'm sorry. Such a good hitter to though and a Philly legend

Philadelphia loves Crock, right? Phil. They love John Cruck. He does the TV now at Tom McCarty and it is

That alone. It doesn't matter what's going on on the field just listening to him. Yes, I was just about to say he might be a better

Broadcaster if this was a list of broadcasters that do Philly games. I would say absolute keep he's so good

But there's better out there. Oh, this is this has to be three more after this. This has to be a cut. All right. I'm

I'm cutting him. Yeah

John Cruck would cut John

You're right. You're right. He would be offended. That's the way we should be doing this. He would look at you like you're crazy

And that's right. That's why he's a legend. I'll put it on the pole Taylor with John Cruck

Not take himself and keep three cut five

The next name up. So three names left got to keep one

Brian Howard. I knew he was gonna be on this list. Yeah, I forgot about him

He was just on the show with us. Yeah, but that's why I knew he was gonna be on this list because he's been on with us twice

I mean MVP all the favor

They're Schmidt and Carlton are still out there or maybe not. I have no idea. Right. They technically are still out there

Well, they are, but I you so is baked McBride. Yeah, I'm Marlon Burr

Darren Dalton

I'm sorry to Ryan Howard, but that's a cut for me

I think one of these last two names is going to be somebody better. All right. I'm gonna cut him

I'm cutting them coach

Yeah, it's a hard one to cut. Yeah, I don't think we can keep those three guys. They were the cornerstone of obviously that run

Yes, I don't think you keep those three guys together. Oh

Yeah, he deserves to be on there and obviously friend of the show is hard to hard to turn down. Yes. God. I forgot about

I got I got to say cut

Excited about number seven here. It's usually a big name right here. Oh, go ahead two names left have to keep one

Doug Glanville

Sense sense a little worry coming. Yeah, well, I am worried right

I have no idea what's coming next. I'm tempted to keep Glanville because it could be words

I'm gonna cut them that's an easy cut for me. All right easy cut coach. Yeah, we got ten grad

You know does does a good job on TV, but yeah, we're we got better out there. I know we do. Yeah, well

Tell us gonna come through here. We'll see

All right, so you guys have kept chase out Lee you guys have kept Jimmy Rollins

You've cut Placido Polanco Pat the Bat Burrall

John Crook Ryan Howard and Doug Glanville

You put your chips to the eighth and final name the eighth and final name

Mike Schmidt

Big sigh of relief

I mean, I think we end up looking like geniuses

But Taylor could have made us look like idiots if he wanted to

So coach Mikey A is not in today. Mikey A normally runs this game. Yes

He's switching his list as the list goes on. Yes, he

1,000 percent would have gave you Jeremy Giambi there

And then next time you see Pat the bat you have to explain it to him, you know, I mean

Some of some of the moves the Phillies made over the year. They probably would have done that too

They would have traded Mike Schmidt for for Jeremy Giambi as well, but I can ask you a Philly sports question

Because he had a big game last night

How are we feeling about Joelle and bead these days?

Hmm

So here here is my take

This qualifies as a hot take right a couple years ago forget what year it was I said to my son my oldest Phillip I said

This is the time right now they should trade and be today. This was however many years ago

I said they'll get two or three all-star level guys for him

At that point he had played the most games of his career in a year. I was like there's no way he's gonna last

Great player. I think he's just one of those like

He's just gonna be one of those guys because down is a great, but

Not a champion doesn't win it, you know, all that kind of thing like it's just gonna be

Yeah, great player puts up incredible numbers, you know

Has a couple records things like that, but not not a guy that goes down with multiple championships or anything

I've been saying for two years. It's time to trade joelle and bead and I think right now

It might be a little too late, but yeah, could you imagine with Tyrese maxi and I don't know a Stefan

Castle from a draft, you know a couple of years ago. That wouldn't be you know change at the timeline

So you said it two years ago coach how long ago did you say it because that's what sports radio was all about?

Did you say it before he's real said it right? Okay, but you said it out loud to somebody I said to my son

And I was like I know it sounds crazy, but that now's the time right now is the time right get out you get whoever

You're gonna get an all-star. You're gonna get a couple picks like you know

But I get it. It's hard. He's just a hard one like guys like that are so unique

That it makes it really difficult because you don't have like any type of blueprint for like shack back and you know back in the day

Like there was a blueprint for like low-post physical imposing back to the basket

Right and at that time the game was kind of built that way and be there's just no real blueprint and it's like how do you

What who plays around him who plays well around him? How do you fit them? And then obviously with the injury stuff

It's is he gonna be playing when he plays is great. It's just you can't get them any games on coach

If I told you we can get yeah, I followed Alfie a guest who's the guy from Philadelphia sports history that you would most want to talk to

That is a great question. Yes, Barclay

Iverson Dr.

Erick snow

We're only picking basketball players

Doug Glanville

Wow

All right, why don't you think you think about it and we're gonna talk here during the commercial break is he versus a word here

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod say hi Dan. Hey, how's it going today?

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan

I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome

Um, I think I saw billboarded yours recently that said that 20 billion one 20 million is an insane number

Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually I think somewhere north probably closer to 22 23 after this year

And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows

So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on awesome

So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What what would I do if I got into an accident?

Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law

That's pound five two nine from your cell phone

We are always open our call centers always waiting to take your call 24 seven three sixty five

Wow, Dan Morgan from Morgan and Morgan America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me

Matt painter

Do it in the final four. How about that? Huh? Has he been to a final four? Is he still coaching at Purdue? Yeah, yes

Purdue not a team I watched for the first time last night

Ah, this season that was like a perfect succession. I think it was from Katie to painter and it hasn't changed, right?

There was nobody in between. No, no

Let's go to before we get to Dan buyer here

I want to play some sound from Christopher Mad Dogbury

So I'll tell her set this up. Please because I have a feeling I was listening to doggy at my way home yesterday

I have a feeling. I know where Taylor is headed. Go ahead

So the star of the Giants Yankees Netflix game

Was how much they showed the people in McCovie Cove

kayaking

And everybody was celebrating. Oh how great is kayaking in McCovie Cove

Noted Giants fan Christopher Mad Dog Russo not a fan and that don't be stuck with the canoes out there with these balls

With home runs that is so overplayed. It's been going off for 25 years

I think everybody who even loves the Giants has had enough of it guys bouncing around in canoe

Stink it's a big idea to catch some fly ball or to be the first to grab a ball that got wet over the right field fence

And over the fan base into the in in in in McCovie Cove who cares

How about the Giants win some ball games first? Who the hell cares? I'm so that is so played out

It's like seeing time square every year who cares about that too

Oh, what a waste of time

That's poorly Giants and pulling Netflix. They think the world cares about a bunch of dumps just up as whatever

Getting a ball out in right field. Yes telling us they're big Giants fans

How could you be a big Giant fan when you're sitting in right field in the canoe you're not watching a ball game on opening day

for crying out loud

So just to be clear after they win a few ball games

Then anyone can go out to McCovie Cove and ride around in a canoe or a kayak

But also to be fair to Mad Dog's point

Don't say you're a Giants fan if you're just sitting in a in McCovie Cove not even really watching the game all right

Okay, look to me

He had me at first where he was just like yeah, this isn't it sounded like this isn't necessarily about the people in the canoes

It's just stop cutting to them. We don't want to see them who cares. Hey Netflix

Baseball's been around for a while McCovie Cove's been around for a while this park's been around we've seen it before

We don't need to see it all the time I get that. Yes, but when you're just hating on the people who are just trying to have a fun experience

out there and they're a little canoes waiting for a baseball those people do not deserve that but they haven't won a few ball games

They really consider themselves real Giants fans are if they're just people who like to be on the water now

I am totally with dog on time square never been there on New Year's Eve and no desire to go there on New Year's Eve

And I think what is he is doing is defending something he would do whether there was a baseball game or not

Go out in a cove and just kayak. Oh, yeah, I mean, I'd like to do that way more than I'd like to go watch a baseball game

Terrible tape

With more yeah, I would throw a tomato at that take right now if I could more exciting kayaking or baseball game

Put it on the ball, Taylor. All right dance day right where you are

Because I believe our day is finally arrived a tailor has an idea to save baseball

We've been asking Taylor to do updates around here for a while because he likes to critique all the update anchors here

At Fox Sports radio. So Taylor go ahead. This is just the one this

Well, no, I could as well. He gave me a private critique of like one day

That I will not share with anyone on this show. He likes him. He likes him a lot. It was not a it wasn't critical

It was just new he's lying to yeah, I'm totally like

So anyway, Taylor set this up here. This is your idea

For major league baseball so my favorite thing growing up on ESPN

Chris Burman's two-minute drill and some people have replicated that since Chris Burman

Mainly part in my take during football season. Yeah, but nobody really does any type of updates for baseball

And you're looking at how big football is and I'm thinking man

If somebody could just translate what Chris Burman did with the two-minute drill to baseball, right could that not work?

So you're the guy right so up

I'm the guy I've got only one game. We're only going to do one game from yesterday. Mm-hmm

But I was Sam first. I need I need my music

This is gonna be him or is this gonna be him as Chris Burman

We go out to Cincinnati to great American ballpark or as I like to call it

Late American ballpark because we're still waiting for the Reds offense to show up

On the bump for Boston. It was Garrett Kroche

Can you see me throw six scoreless innings in his season debut leading the way for the socks at the plate

It was Roman Carmelo Anthony

For three hits and Jaren Durand Durand who was hungry like a wolf for this season to get started said forget your state farm

Forget your all states. I've got your insurance right here adding that third run for good measure in the ninth

Then in for the save. It was a roll dish chap man. I feel like a woman

Much like my woman watching sports with me the only thing he wanted was for that game to end red socks three red zero

Do believe I mean I was I was amazing. I don't know how your voice with stood all that

But that was amazing. Well, it didn't sound like Chris Burman. It just sounded like Taylor after smoking a pack of heaters

I mean except when he said

Damn buyer critique that please. I'm very well done

I just didn't know who he threw it to at the end, but yeah, it was at to TJ or as a teach I wasn't sure but spot on well done

also

Many levels to the are all the chap man. I feel like a woman. Yes, but damn when you say spot on everything

But the imitation right I thought it was like his creative interpretation of Chris Burman

So that's why I was fine with it

You say baseball Taylor

Now imagine that but just every game so I only did one game from yesterday

So the problem with baseball and why it's so much easier for football you have 16 games for football to to sit down and write for Monday

I don't know how we would do this moving forward if I just pick a random game

But it's just just know it's on the table. We can save baseball. I think a couple of notes. Yes, if you don't mind. No

The whoop sound while

Brilliant love it laughed. Didn't you just do that when somebody juke somebody?

So does that really belong in a baseball highlight? Well, I mean, okay my highlight. Yeah

Well, you're highlight also is missing unless I missed it. Did we get a backpack back?

No, there was no home runs in the game

Okay, that wasn't even like hey back back like to the warning track and maybe you could just offer it

But okay for next time we'll save it. I was saying I got your text hit the breaking news sound during damn buyer come to the mic and tell us the news

Breaking news from Fox 4 guys in your neck of the woods the martin county sheriff's office is saying that Tiger Woods was involved in a

Roll over crash earlier today in Jupiter Island the accident reportedly occurred around two o'clock

No details on Tigers

Health in the matter or what actually happened but Tiger Woods involved in a roll over crash in Jupiter Island

Man, I mean just played in the that indoor league in Jupiter in the finals everyone made a big deal about it

And now he's in another car accident and he was trying to get back to play Augusta this year is he so

Kind of interesting. What's going on with Tiger? I'm gonna text my friend in the martin county firehouse and see if they have any further detail

Trying to get to the bottom of the store. Look at him. The journalist takes over the second

He finds out news about Tiger Woods in a roll over accident

Obviously, we hope Tiger is okay

I don't know how it's gonna impact in playing golf moving forward

I think the chances of that were pretty slim to begin with before the accident

Just because of everything Tiger has been through and his body has been through over the many many years of playing on the tour and

Over the previous car accidents, right? Yes, so

Interesting stuff there. All right. Keep us posted if is he I'm talking to you

If you hear anything I'm on my phone like Adam Shester if anything else anybody needs to know anything in martin county

Yeah, yes

We will get to Taylor singing in just a moment here. I want to play some sound from Dremon green. I was saying if you have it back there

This is from his own podcast. I believe is he because everything he says is on his own podcast because the athletes don't need us anymore

I believe this is from a post game. I believe you that's the question

But this is let me say this he should have saved it for his pocket. Yes, yes

Absolutely, but I believe and we're playing it because I had mentioned recently about me not loving

Victor Wimbanyama giving his you know three step approach to winning the MVP or his plan to wear a case on winning the MVP

Yeah, and Dremon chime did on it as well. I hated it

And I absolutely loved it

The reason I hated it is because until winby said defense is 50% of the game

It was like oh man. No one realized that

Right like no one realized that 50% of the game we play is on that end of the floor

So he comes out and make this profound ass statement and it's like oh

Of course it is and everybody's like oh man. He has a great point. Hello. You think

So I hated it because he had to do that for that to then be said

All of a sudden you turn on TV and everybody's like actually

Maybe what man's the MVP and I can agree with that maybe he is

But the fact that he has to come out and remind people hey y'all see what I do over there

It's like an indictment on the game of basketball

Hmm how

Well, it's the fans not realizing that defenses half the games an important part of the game

And I got news for Dremon we don't I mean well

I mean this was Dremon obviously elevating his portion of what he does on the floor which is defensive

But I I completely completely disagree with the idea that defense is half of the game right because

What do people tell you all the time

Good offense will always beat good defense. Yeah good defense better off it

It is not a 50-50 thing if you want to go by let's say shooting percentage right a decent shooter will shoot about 50%

So if you're saying that the other 50% he has just played good defense. No, right

He's just people just miss wide open shots. That's horrible defense

Defense is not quite the same as offense and it has been

Played that way or has been judged that way and has been awarded that way since the beginning of the NBA

You know what I say to people all the time though, right? Is he? No, it's a defense wins champion. Yeah

And it does right it does yes, but that defense becomes hey

I want to

Be really good and I want to play harder and I'm going to stop them one or two or three more possessions

That I normally do in the regular season that still isn't 50-50

Taylor put it on the pole can you say you hate something and moments later say you love it?

I mean

Drainman at the beginning of that said I hate it

But I love it. Yeah, no, but it's also very Drainman. Yeah, um, but yeah, I think

I wanted to listen to that hoping that Drainman had this great point about it right but really he's just mad that

Wembee is selling himself out there and trying to give himself a reason

To pump himself up as a result

But really it's not going to look like I think 10 years from now

Wembee's going to look back and be like yeah, I probably shouldn't have given my case for MVP

He's young. He'll learn as he goes here, but I actually liked it from this standpoint

The guy cares he cares enough where he had like a three-point plan as to why he should be

The NBA's MVP and I love that because it's been a while since we've had a guy like Wembee who feels like all of this everything every second of it

Means the world to him is he and that's a good thing for the league oddly enough

I think that was in the question to where he was like yeah, give me your like three step uh

Plan for our not plan but uh case for MVP and he had him right the reason that I don't love Drainman saying that

You know, oh duh the league should know I should be getting more awards because defense is half of the game is

Wembee because of his ability and his length he could argue I make defense more than half of the game

I take away the entire paint for it to that's way different than when Drainman Drainman can blow up a play Drainman

You know one-on-one you don't want to mess with him you but if Drainman's in the paint people aren't avoiding the paint

They're going to try to go up and dunk on him right he might knock you down

He might flagrantly fall you but Victor Wembee I mean you got people just avoiding the painted area in general

And that creates a different level of defensive

Mattering right the dip more than 50% if you're taking away most of a team's offense

That's different than anything Drainman has ever played. I think Wembee is the MVP

He saved the all-star game when I mean yes, and the spurs are a lot better than people thought a lot sooner than people thought

And so therefore any cares he cares about this stuff deeply. I'm not saying the other guys don't but this guy seems to be a throwback

To guys who played in the 80s. Would you like to hear Taylor sing is he oh my goodness?

No, but I do want the rest of the audience to hear him so I have heard this song and by the way we have

we have

Salicada on the podcast and we also have Adam leftgo on the podcast

We played this song for Salicada on the podcast

So I've had a sneak preview here and what I am telling you and we will tease it will play it

Coming up here in the next segment. What I'll tell you is he is this is something that you don't want to hear

But without further ado

Let's play Taylor song Taylor put together a song here. He's got a terrible voice

Which makes it better for this show and for radio

Let's check it out. So is he the the song context uh-huh the met's have a rookie Carson Bench

Who is their phenom right fielder? He was their first round pick in 2024 made his MLB debut

Yesterday any homer in his MLB debut

So the call is courtesy of how he rose on met's radio the song is courtesy of your boy

First pitch Bench hits it in the air to right field fairly deep. I'll hurt back at the wall and it's gone

He headed off the canopy and the right field bullpen

Carson Bench makes his first major league hit a homerun

Congratulations to Carson Bench as he gets an enthusiastic

Pat on the back from third base coach Tim Leeper

An aggressive fist bump from Francisco Alvarez and they're willing to congratulate the kid in the met's dugout

Carson Bench his first major league knocked in homer and the met's take a 10 to 5 lead

Bench the met's don't need to look no more

We just found what we were looking for

With a swing to call our own

He'll crush it in the zone and you might Bench will see

You've got us filled with

Please
