America leads the world in medicine development. It matters. We get new medicines first nearly
three years faster. Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home
and not relying on other countries keeps us safe. But China is racing to overtake us.
Will we let them or will we choose to stay ahead? When America leads, America cures.
Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

Welcome to The Big Sui. Presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show?
The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast.
I'm sorry I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this
imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries
that if they're just there that hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it.
And now here's the marching man to nowhere that face and the habitual liar.
This episode of the Dan Levitard show is presented by DraftKings.
DraftKings. The crown is yours. The world baseball classic is great. Yesterday,
a player on Panama tried to fight his own manager and it wasn't the most hostile thing
that came out of the world baseball classic. There are different dialects of Spanish,
not all Spanish is the same. And actually, the apology I'm about to make now is a couple of
weeks late because a couple of weeks ago during a wrestling segment, we said something. A word was
said that is a slur in Mexican, but in Cuban is just the word for slut. It's not a slur, but in
Mexican, it's not in Cuban. It's not a slur, but in Mexican, it is a slur. And Randy Aterosarena,
he was great in Tampa and has been less great in Seattle. He's a great player, but I've
legitimately never heard the kind of words you're about to hear in Cuban Spanish, where he makes
the distinction of I'm speaking one kind of Spanish now, but now I'm going to speak Cuban
Spanish and he's talking about the big dumper, a very popular player and his teammate. I'm going
to translate this for Zazlo when it's done, but it's legitimately shocking. When I heard this
said of a teammate, I couldn't believe that it's sounded so nice at the beginning when he's like,
well, his family, his parents are really nice, but then he really tells the big dumper to go
bleep himself. Listen to this.
So he starts with thank God for his parents. They're very well educated. They
met me in the hotel lobby the other day. They told me how proud they were of me. Yeah,
that part was nice, but I'd like to do Refrand El Dio with Tony here on La Casa del Binga,
which first of all, he told him to take his good to see you and shove it up his ass.
That's not nice.
And this is a teammate of his, like this is just legitimately crazy to hear and let's play
Refrand El Dio with Tony here. So you can hear where it is that Randy sent his teammate.
Dimelo Miente! Wow. Randy, it's the first time that I've ever heard this phrase be
in a press conference or in some sort of like media availability, right? Even if it was on a phone.
About his teammate. About his teammate. I think it was ingesto, then. I will give that to Randy.
I think it was ingest, but he told the big dumper, Cal Raleigh, to bette pa Casa del Binga,
which means basically you can go to the house of the dick. That's what I thought it meant.
That's exactly what it means. So it means a couple of different things even though you're saying
bette la Casa del Binga, that could be go to a very far away house of the dick because it made me
very, very far or just go to the house of dick because you know, come on. You know about the house of
dick? Jeremy, can you give me some context here? Was he fooling around? Was he just playing?
Because they, I look, he was smiling, but he was clearly frustrated because the context for this
is Randy or Rosarana goes up to bat and goes to shake Cal Raleigh's hand. Randy or Rosarana playing
on the Mexican team. Cal Raleigh, the catcher for USA. So he goes and sticks out his hand to shake
his fellow Seattle Mariners teammates hand and Raleigh from underneath the mask just goes good to see
you and won't shake his hand. And this is two baseball world baseball classics in a row where this
has happened with team USA for Randy or Rosarana because he tried to stick out a fist bump for Will
Smith, the catcher of team USA. Last time just look, these guys all play in the same lead together.
They're trying to be the good guy. Hey, what's up? Especially now with Cal Raleigh, his teammate,
expecting like, look, it's one thing I can understand. Will Smith going, hey man, we've played against
each other in in the world series when I was on the Dodgers and you were on the right naked.
It's got a point. House of dick. But the thing that happens here is that it seems like something
that should just be an easy exchange, even just give him like, you know, the glove to whatever.
Instead afterward, again, I've never heard someone speak like this about anybody. Let alone a
teammate after a game. Well, I've heard a lot of people in Spanish speak this way about others.
Well, on the record, not the record, Dan, you hear this in the clubhouse walk through West 32.
I wasn't doing players. I've just heard all of that a lot in my life. I've never heard it publicly.
One teammate to another. Casa Lapingas insane. Like, I've never heard that in all the Cuban and all the
everything nobody's ever said that before. Can you guys tell me whether or not you think this
explanation works for you? Enrique Rojas of ESPN says the catchers have been afraid to shake
batters hands for fear. They might get pintar on the ball. They can get ejected from the game
if that happens. That's the explanation because there've been, it's happened a couple of times now
where the catcher is trying to go fist bump with somebody. Yeah, fist bump. Like, I can't
anything on it. Give him a fist bump or the glove even just like, hey, but, but hold on a second.
So we've got, we've got two different things here and lost in translation. We should be the show
in America that can help Seattle and everyone else navigate whether this should be a giant
controversy or just a little joke between friends. It's a play on for me. It's a play. When I saw
the quotes in black and white, I'm like, oh, man, this is, you know, this is a spicy meatball who
make a salad. Oh, make a salad. I think like Randi Orozorania, he'd almost have to be,
like he knows that if he's being serious, he is starting a major, major thing. And I have to
believe that he's smarter than that, that he wouldn't, even if he was serious, that he wouldn't
be trying to start a major thing with his teammate. So I think either he's really angry with him
or they're very close. I don't think there's anything between him. I don't think anybody's
really close to Randi Orozorania. Like, he's a strange guy. He has a reputation inside a baseball.
I'm actually shocking those cows his teammate. Can we please check in with anybody
in Seattle who can explain to us because we should be the show that is more qualified to analyze,
is it a joke or is it a giant controversy because these are, whether you think they're baseball
stars or not, these are two baseball stars. Like, no, no, no, no, exclamation point. They're
baseball stars. Cowl, Big Dumber was a phenomenon. That's not the one that made me put the stars with
a question mark. You can talk about Randy for years. No, I loved him with the raise. He was less
good with Seattle. I thought he was going to help put Seattle over the top. I just don't think,
even though, look, he's one of my favorite Cuban baseball players ever. A free swinger. I went
three years never figuring out how anyone ever got him out. Like, I love him. And he's a very
good player. I don't think he might necessarily qualify as a star even in baseball.
Agreed. Like, there's bigger names and bigger stars. And I think like just on the
Dominican team, I can name five guys that are kind of bigger than Randi. But the funny thing is,
a lot of people are looking at this being like, okay, wait a second. This guy who's Cuban,
who's playing for the Mexican team is trying to salute the guy who's on the USA team,
who's also on his team in real life. It's like just a lot of like peg points of like, he can't
play on the Cuban national team because he defected and he can't go back. I think he defected
through Mexico. That's why that that is why he's playing for. Well, I want to talk a little bit
about the world baseball class. No, Leonardo's Dominican now. And one of the things,
uh, Puerto Rican. That's a fine. I was going to say I didn't see him out there.
That is that is a fine. That is a fine. That is a fine. That is absolutely a fine. And you have
to pay the fine and we're being more diligent about making sure that we pay the fines because
the fine bucket now has sponsorship. Yes, the fine bucket is presented by Moneyline,
download money, uh, the money line app or visit moneyline.com to learn more moneyline,
make money easy. What's that? Five bucks? Uh, that is a two dollar fine. Okay. You owe two
dollars. I think you are. Uh, I want to, uh, take you guys briefly though through a conversation
about how sports get globalized in a way that has happened. Uh, that is really cool. We have seen
in basketball the way that the NBA reached out to the rest of the world and in doing so,
Yana Santitacumpo and Yokech and Luca have become legitimate stars when B, uh, because the
sport has gone global. I'm actually old enough to remember when the United States exported
baseball to Japan and played exhibitions in Japan and how Japan used to get its ass kicked
in these games because they were in the formative years of developing baseball. And culturally,
this one's interesting to me, right? There are no Japanese basketball stars. There are no Japanese
football stars. I don't know if there are many or any Japanese hockey stars, but Japan has the
greatest baseball player who has ever existed because over the last 35 years, the sport has
dominated that culture. The body types, right? Aren't made for basketball and football, but maybe
if the sport had been there for 35 years, a Shohei Otoni somewhere would appear in Japan and make
it so that those sports would be the ones. Japan's pretty good at soccer, okay? But the, but generally
speaking, the sports that require the giant physicality, give me all the Japanese football players
that there are, but baseball, they've got the best baseball player who has ever existed and Japan
can now beat us in baseball. Oh, I've seen the evolutions as, and it's a crazy evolution to see,
to watch Japan not be any good at baseball, to watch the United States go over to Japan, play against
Japan in early exhibitions and Japan get trounced again and again and again and over the last 35
years, they've caught up. Like they've made it just like internationally, the world has caught up to us
in basketball. Once we exported the sport, Japan has absolutely caught up. Is Japan favored to win
the world series as they did the the world baseball classic as they did when Shohei Otoni was both
pitching and hitting home runs. The US was favored and I think DR might have even been second,
but I'm going to look now at the ads on draft Kings. Japan is plus 360. They're in third place
right now for World Baseball Classic USA's minus 105 and DR's minus a plus through 40.

Oh, folks, look at me. I'm in my thirties, which is old enough to know better,
and somehow still young enough to ignore that information pretty regularly. Like you know me,
I'll have a couple drinks, normal adult behavior, nothing crazy, and in the next morning,
my body reacts like I have made a series of terrible decisions with no supervision.
My sleep score tanks, I wake up confused, suddenly even replying to one text feels like a full task,
but that is why I have discovered and gotten into Cheers Restore. Alcohol is differently now.
It affects your brain, your sleep, your liver, all of it, and Cheers Restore is made for that.
It's a dual action after alcohol aid designed to support your brain and your liver after drinking.

Don't make the frog you laughed from middle-aged media studios here in Miami.
Stugots
The Germans are advancing in France in World War II.
This is the Dan Lebertard show with their Stugots.
It is a little bit crazy to think of how it is if you're old enough to watch just how the sport
evolved because of the concentration culturally of the country on that sport, where anyone who wants
to play sports culturally. Baseball is what it is you're going to try and chase because each
hero and now Otani are your groundbreakers and your pioneers that made American baseball not
the best baseball necessarily anymore because you can say flatly, right? No one here listening to
this disputes the show. Hey, Otani is the best baseball player to ever exist given that he's
kind of berry bonds, but also pitches like there's no dispute on this, correct?
Absolutely not. And the shame for Aaron Judge is he might be the greatest right-handed
hitter I've ever seen. He might be genuinely having the greatest peak of any hitter ever.
And yet, he won't go down as the greatest player of his generation because
Shohei Otani exists. How long has Shohei been in the majors now? What, six years maybe?
Is that so much longer than that? Yeah, longer, yeah.
Because it's the point that I'm trying to get at is that's never happened before right where
you have a player who's been in the league for that short amount of time and we're just giving
the consensus greatest ever. Well, what's never existed as well is somebody who hits like that and
also throws a hundred miles an hour. Also eight years and he'll be doing it for longer.
What do you guys feel in general about the world baseball classic? Because I heard the blasphemy
that Jeremy had where he was saying that it's better than March Madness. When we've said
March Madness is the greatest thing just because it's concentrated uniforms running up and down
and you're gambling money is running up and down on a Thursday morning. You're watching.
The ACC tournament starts today, correct? That's correct, Dan. I love conference tournament time.
We got a banger in the big 12 with their glass court. Did you see this? I did. Yeah, it's
they're basically playing on an LED screen in the big 12. I don't believe you. Arizona State versus
Baylor at 12.30. I think college basketball is having a tremendous year. John Shire will
ACC coach of the year. I guess he won it because he had to overcome the loss of Jay Lucas.
I don't know what we're doing there. Yeah, in the phantom punch, but
Jim Bayheim was giving Jay Lucas the ACC coach of the year. Jim Bayheim was raving about Jay
Lucas. Yeah, Jay Lucas deserves it. I mean, yeah, I understand he lost the number one draft
pick and he had to overcome that adversity in getting possibly the number two overall draft
pick the following year. It's Duke. What are we doing? Jay Lucas deserves it. Maybe one national
coach of the year and losing in the ACC. That's a weird ACC thing that they got going on with
their teams. But it's incredible. And I don't want to knock the WBC. I am trying desperately to
get into it. I like the WBC because the atmosphere translates. But get out of here with hype in
this tournament up just yet. Like all you got is a crowd because these games are garbage garbage
baseball games. There's been like one good. The montage we just showed showed a bunch of game
winning home runs where there were walk-offs and people celebrating at home play. You
would look the same one over and over again. 90% of the world difference. Did you just make all
light people the same? See ya. See ya. You look the same one. To capability, he's been racism.
Two days in a row. Wow. It's not good. I don't need to see some of these nations try to play.
Like God bless him. Chechia, the heart, a great middle reliever coming out of the pen. I don't
need to see that in 15 minutes here. Thank you Roy. Control your room. Get him out of here with
an accidental racism. Not after accidental racism. Oh, I'm not going to the penalty box for that.
It was one home run. You got it here. You got to get out of here. Are you telling me there were
two good baseball games in this thing? There were. I challenge you. There weren't two good baseball
games. Challenge. There were two. There were two. There were two. There were two. There were
killings. Oh, hey, put on FS one. Israel's losing by 16 out of here. He was right about that. I
wasn't the DR Israel game and it got ugly. Quick. Come on. What do you expect?
What needs is to hit or hit a grand slam right to my section. That, what would you expect?
Come on. Hold on. What is almost caught the ball mean? Six rose down. If I wanted to go get it,
I could have gotten it. But the problem is, you know how when you're in left field,
where you see where the bar is on top and then you have that little section and left field.
There's like the part there with like the band sits Jeremy would know the band sits up there
I was right there on that ledge with the were the handy cap. Yeah, you go with the with the wheelchairs
So I was there. I think we're saying you got scared anymore. You did get scared
Minor penalty two minutes rambling
It should be worse. It should be worse. I don't have here. I don't have here
Use the wrong word in 2026
What's the right one? Well, it's not it's not even don't know and I'm a snowflake
I almost got it though if I want to show what it got in here
Accessible. I don't think that I don't think we're using that as the word anymore
I want to get a little bit caught up here on some of the football moves because
I just saw to Zaz's point earlier in the show about some
Names that are moving around getting giant dollar amounts that he does not recognize
Get up just put on the screen all of the tens of millions of dollars the Raiders have spent to try and fix everything
On the first day of free agency and I don't think that ever works as I really don't think the Patriots for 20 years
Always sat out the first day of free agency because it was only the losers who were doing what the Raiders are doing
But the Raiders went in big yesterday signing a whole bunch of guys
When they don't have a quarterback at the moment although people think they're going to take Fernando Mendoza
And they are in a world of hurt
I want to play with the group here
A game of big signing or not a big signing
And you were all of you were making fun of Mike Evans and
I'm remiss in not making more fun of Tony
from last week because he had a top five list of
top five
low-key
free agent signings and Mike Evans was on it and
Kenneth Walker the Super Bowl MVP was on it
Those can't be low key Mike Evans has a thousand Mike Evans that has a thousand yards receive
We thought he was done last year but he's got a thousand yard
Receivings and every season of his career and that's why called it low-key, but
Get a walker with just a Super Bowl. How is that how can that be low key?
How is that really cared about Kenneth Walker? They would have resigned them
They didn't care now he goes to the chiefs
It was a low-key signing because how do you let the MVP of the Super Bowl walk Roy?
Can we put on FS2 great Britain just cut it to eight? I can't believe I can't believe you're dismissing what
Check electrician Andre Satoria did today four and two-thirds scoreless innings against Japan
The guy is an electrician. He's smaller than me
He's fastballed barely breaks 80 miles an hour and the last time I ran he struck out show Heyo Tony
That's the coolest shit in the world
He was throwing slot. It's not. It's not. I just told you they're more basketball on an LED screen today
It's well third. I reclaim my time. I reclaim my time
This is really cool to get to watch. It is way better than watching a 16-seed lose by 70
Before we get to
This big signing or not a big signing because I do want to get people caught up on this
I wanted to see if you guys had any opinions on this because you know
I'm interested in
The rise of the
Information broker in the NFL the Shafters the Ian Rappaportz
The Jay Glazers. I'm fascinated by it because of what a mental health challenge
It is to the robots who have to do this and have their life both get more lucrative
But crazy because they don't have any time to themselves. They have to follow everything
But I don't know how the audience at large feels about Mike Floreo
He seems to suffer some of what I suffer from which is you can be right
But you make your point so obnoxiously that nobody likes you anyway even if you're
Right and so Floreo I think does a really great job as not just a hustler
But an information man who's willing to also call out other information people. Is that a friction airborne?
It's not contagious. Although you seem to yeah, you seem to have gotten some of it. Oh, no, it's getting on me. Yeah
We do have some people right about here for years
All they had to do was put us in the CFP and I was right Roy
You're not the person here who is afflicted with this. This is not been okay. You seem to be immune to this particular contagion
Yeah, because I keep it quiet. Yeah, yes
In sports championships aren't won alone the one with the right people around you

I've been gone two days. I've been gone long enough to miss my wife. I'm sorry. I call her
With a 30 seconds, you know, what am I? Hello, all right? All right, we'll see you all right
And then you know, I'm gonna see her in two days. I was jumping Charlie good. This is the down lebertar show with the stugats
The
The thing that I wanted to get to with you guys is
There was a guy at the draft last name Tate who ran a 40-time that shifter immediately came out and said
Well, that 40-time wasn't right. He's faster than that
And he's a Drew Rosenhaus client and floreo immediately came out and called out shifter on it saying
You're just doing an agent's work for him there
You're not passing information. When are these times wrong? When are the they're at the scouting combined?
They're doing precision timing
You're taking the word of Drew Rosenhaus, but not saying that it's coming from Drew Rosenhaus
Your reporting is fact that that guy might be faster than we think he is
What did you take or what do you make of the fact that the information? We've known this about shifter for a while
Right he had that giant controversy where he was sending a Washington commanders executive
Basically something he'd written to get it edited by that Washington commanders GM
What do you make of this as well? You're also leaving out the part where then floreo
posted
Screen grabs of text messages from other people who were at the combine and they were timing the players
And they all had you know the time or
Extremely close to the time that floreo was saying any any any posted them all there so
It feels like it's what you said, you know that that the agent in this case drew Rosenhaus
Well, I love that floreo does this that he's willing to do it not many people are
But I wonder how the audience at large shifters the giant shifter in this business is
The person and
The sausage is made though in a way that's that's dirty like that transaction to me is not merely
Not journalism. It's not merely a conflict of interest. It's wrong
But what's what what's the repercussions there don't seem to be any but it's at least in part because nobody cares
Like it's not because it's not wrong
It's because nobody cares about the wrong right they want their information from the information guy
And they don't care how the information guy gets the information
And while I'm wagging a finger at it and scolding and being right in the wrong tone
So everyone gets mad at me for talking about it. It makes me no less right to say
That ain't right
Maybe maybe this doesn't sound right, but shouldn't you understand that that's part of the deal
That's how Adam shifter
Becomes the
Be gold standard but like when did it be when did it become i'm not supposed to do interpretations on the truth when it's journalist giving it to me
They're supposed to be giving me objective facts. I mean
I
There are there are journalism aspects to what it is that he does, but I think he's a personality first and foremost
Oh, but I don't think that that's how I mean he came up in newspaper writing look
This is the golden age of ESPN is trafficking in the credibility of newspapers to make themselves
I've talked about all of this before but the short part of the story is ESPN had no moral obligation to become a journalism company
They decided to do so because they thought it would be good for business to get into the journalism business
They've since largely gotten out of it even though they just hired a bunch of Washington Post reporters
Because journalists are now more available because the media is either collapsing or collapse
Well, you know who else came up in newspapers
Stephen A Smith
Yeah, but Stephen A Smith is now widely viewed as an entertainer who he himself considers himself a journalist
But I think people do understand that what he's doing on first take that's not journalism
No matter how much he tries to apply some journalism standards to it
First word in ESPN is always entertainment if there's no Jay in there. I get you
But I think even this little gambit is still subjective like he could be faster like he could be
Yeah, but he's taken but what's what's happening there though is you're taking Drew Rosenhouse's biased information
You're presenting it as your own and it's not impartial information and also not likely to be accurate
Not likely to be accurate. Arnold Tate does seem faster to me. I was surprised. I watched him plenty
I could you know what I'm confirming Adam Schefter's report. Wow. Tate is faster. You happen to know
That's not a happen to know see he doesn't play with the happen to know because he's playing the line
Journalist and entertainer when he does happen to know. Yeah, you know what I'm a Jay. Yes, you do
So what's the game big signing or not a big sign? Oh, I think it's actually big move or
Not a big move
You got to be able to head your bets for that
Okay, so do you want to throw some his way do you guys have I don't know
So the biggest move so far we were talking about Malik Willis here locally
And you mentioned Kenneth Walker to the chiefs. I think of Mike Evans is not a low key signing
I think if you can get Mike Evans as San Francisco has gotten Mike Evans
That's a big signing, but the biggest one so far is blank
Before we get to big move or not a big move the one so far that you guys say is the biggest
That's the biggest yeah
Yeah max crossby
That was a trade. Well, I mean, what do you do?
Like I said that counts because this is big move or
Not a big move excellent job Mike
They corrected Zaz and he walked back his position
What the Rams are doing is also interesting with McDuffy and their biggest weakness the second half of the season
They were a play away
Was their defensive backplay, but what do you have for us Tony that you're going to throw Zaz's way
Former Miami Dolphin Jalen Phillips moving from Philadelphia to the Carolina Panthers signing a four-year
120 million dollar deal 80 of it guaranteed Zaz big move that's big move that's big move Carolina
I think I think price young is on the ascension. I like what I saw from him last year
Can't always be a star in your first year
Carolina made the playoffs last year go and get a really good player
You know, I'm just gonna stay healthy. Of course we can say about anyone. I go big move
Good for Jalen Phillips incidentally because that's a guy you root for yeah
It's a guy that almost medically retired in college. Yeah
That guy's body has been through it for him to get a big contract to be traded to Philadelphia to be successful in Philadelphia
And to be someone who's a successful edge rusher even though in Miami that last year
He was the king of almost like he had so many plays uh that chargers game where he almost
made to play uh the new whiffer
Like your dad who'd your dad called the witch man
But well to give people the entire context of the conversation because it's a good one
My father on television for several years would simply refer to Jean Carlo Stanton as the whiffer
And then at an apartment in Miami Beach an apartment complex
We get on to an elevator with the Jean Carlo Stanton and Ricky Nalasco a giant
Jean Carlo Stanton and I'm like that don't and my father's like what he's a whiffer
Just says it right in front of him in a really confined space
What a stand-in-do he just stated us as I was mortified
I think what big guy well yeah, but what's he gonna do my father's a 75 year old man
He's gonna he's gonna bury him in the elevator, but it was it was he actually smiled actually Jean Carlos
He knows he's a whiffer. Yeah, he knows he struck out 200 times
Zaz
Second biggest contract dolled out over the uh the weekend
Alec Pierce staying with the cults four years
114 million dollars big move not a big move. I'm going not a big move because essentially this move costs the Michael pitman, right?
Well, I don't know like I I think I'd rather keep Michael pitman at the number that he was making as opposed to
Alec Pierce and sign him to that. I don't know. Does Alec Pierce Alec Pierce scream to you like big time no one wider see her?
Greg Cody last week. This was shocking to me had never heard of him somehow. He also called him Alex
Yeah, it was it was never heard of Alex Pierce is that the fewest catchers ever to get to a thousand yards
I also have to tell people my apologies not telling you earlier than this Greg Cody is on
Vacation somewhere so he was not he was scheduled to be with us today
But I got in here today and he was not here and his son's not here and again the long time NFL writer for the Miami
Herald did not know who Alec Pierce was last time he wasn't here. There's part of my Loki signings too. Did you see posted a video from
Out on a beach yesterday it was reaction. It was really important for him to inform everybody from that beach how right he was about both things
He predicted they'd get rid of Tua and he predicted they'd get Malik Willis
Fuentes can you do me the favor of getting that video so we have the spirit and the feel of Greg Cody here on a Greg Cody Tuesday rare
Statistical tie in the NFL Alec Pierce tied to Sean Jackson for fewest catches to get to a thousand year and see did Greg
Give you that virus that we were talking about before Dan. No people love Greg Cody Greg
Greg Cody's not afflicted with his message getting contaminated by how obnoxious he is. He's just rarely right
Zaz
New York Giants wide receiver one-dail Robinson now the number one target for cam ward over in Tennessee
Wantail Robinson for for 70 big move not a big move. I'm going big move
You know if you draft cam ward number one overall you got you got to give him a little bit of help even if it means you overpay
Free agency you inherently overpay every time but I like it has been moved
Travis ETN goes from Jacksonville to New Orleans is that spell yep problem for Avon Kamara
ETN four years 52 million. Yeah, I like I think ETN is a really good player. I think it's a good move
I think it's big move for New Orleans. I like it
K Walker three
Super 1vp Loki allow we're saying now the chiefs get their number one guy. How do you feel about that?
Yeah, I'm going big move there
Running backs really good history with anti-reading Kansas City
And I especially like it because there was thought that maybe Kansas City would wind up trying to to acquire in the draft
Jeremiah love
But I would rather have Kenneth Walker and draft another player. So yeah, you think the Super Bowl MVP to the team of a generations a big move
Hey, I only have two choices
It wasn't like hey Zazlow tell us what you think is the biggest move and then I said Kenneth Walker
I was asked is Kenneth Walker a big move or is it not a big move and obviously the answer is big move
Yeah, you like that move so I don't know what you're talking about or trying to accomplish you Mike
I just asked you seconds ago before we started playing big move or not a big move
What was the biggest move and you said Malik Willis, which is astronaut while I got confused for a second
What's a move and what's assigning
Another guy on the move from Jacksonville heading over to Carolina, Devon Lloyd three years 45 millie
I'm going not a big move mainly because I don't know
Actually
In the honesty did you not watch that Monday night football game against the chiefs he was all over the field
I'm doing after you drive on ESPN today by the way
I mean you're gonna know all about him by that with Harry Douglas. Are you ready? Oh, it's Freddie Coleman. All right
What else do you yeah, let's go do you have anything else one big move that happened to yep, uh huh?
You don't get to decide where to big move. I'm telling you to big move. I don't get to decide that he is
From New England he's deciding joining to a tongue of Iloa in Atlanta
The one and only one year three point two five millie Austin Hooper moves over to Atlanta to be their number two tight-end big move not a big move
Not a big move. What do you know no nothing Kyle Pits is the guy there who cares about number two tight-end for her blocking tight-end
Full circle moment for Austin Hooper who is somehow I think only 31 years old
You've been talking about Austin Hooper for a while the Patriots offense was largely hunter Henry
Giant runs and occasional passes to Stefan Diggs where any of you surprised that Stefan Diggs was let go after just one year
No, not at all now you get one good year, and it's like oh, it's a powder keg. Let's call it a day
Let's get to that video. Please of Greg Cody on vacation being right and feeling the need from a beach somewhere to give you his
Dolphins opinions
From I'm gonna guest the Caribbean somewhere. I'm not totally sure. Where did you see this as low?
Post it online. Okay, and it was just it felt to you the same
It felt like he was just going to be right
He wanted to make sure that everyone knew that he was right. He's got he's got to let you know that if Greg Cody is gonna be right
See he's on vacation. He's likely, you know, he's got a few drinks in him
He's not just gonna say hey, let me do work. All right. That's not a strong suit
But if he finds out that he was right about things
Hey, hey Christopher fire up the iPhone here. I got something to say
So wait a minute you don't think he's not filming himself in the video that we are
Okay, now there's a cameraman and you're assuming that Chris is on vacation with him that the Cody's tend to take cruises together
I am confirming reports
But it sounds like he's reporting from the virgin islands or at least say we're virgin before he got there
No, but there are two separate vacations Dan. So Chris was somewhere else Greg somewhere else. Oh, they're not together
Two different Caribbean vacations, but the dolphins got a quarterback and that's a bad time for the legendary Miami Herald columnist
To not have a microphone to not have an ability to get two people
He believes that everyone wants to hear his informed opinion. Well, I think vacation the first day of NFL free agency
That's bad time to be fair nobody had any idea that NFL free agency was March 9th
We had no clue it is it is strange that Greg would decide to go
On a quick vacation
The day that NFL free agency starts at noon when the dolphins are in almost total upheaval and changing the entirety of their friends
Next scheduled vacation NFL draft
Probably the super bowl. You think it'll just take off on the super bowl. I stopped throwing stones
Devon Lloyd. All right guys a pro bowler. They should know better the Cody's love of crews
They are trashy and let's see if you can tell from his hair here whether Greg Cody is trashy
Okay
As I'm recording this on a beach in Tortola
The dolphins have cut to a tongue of a lower as expected and signed Malik Willis
Which I predicted they would and advocated that they do and so
Congratulations dolphins for following my advice
But here I am not doing my job. Basically just drinking a rum drink
On a beach in Tortola with by the way Tortola to me all of a sudden like a
A pasta
type of pasta or the actor you know the famous American actor John Tortola
But instead you turn that at the biggest island in the British Virgin Islands
And we're here on the first stop of our crew had a great time so far
Lot of drinking a lot of party
Once a money in the casino, which is always a bonus did well in the slots did well at
At roulette love the big wheel the big clicking wheel and
Took a master class and how to make a tenderloin
Had a bourbon tasting it's been fantastic and we'll come to you again soon see you later the sea right in my background see you later
Mike you know, I have one rule to live by right don't place parlaise on multiple long shots
Don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit triple zero
Always drink your yagermeister ice cold that's the rule everything else is merely a suggestion everything else
Everything else wearing clean underwear every day. Well, that's just a personal decision brushing your teeth
Obviously smart, but not a rule never pee pee on an electric fence. Okay, maybe there are two rules
But the one that is a hundred percent that I insist on completely
Yagermeister must be drank ice cold or don't drink it at all damn that's cold
Exactly, you're finally starting to get it drink responsibly
Yagermeister liqueur 35% alcohol by volume imported by mass Yagermeister U.S. White Plains, New York
