I take football Saturdays seriously. I have the games mapped out. Second screen ready. The third screen ready. Heck, even the fourth screen ready. It's a very specific plan for what I'm watching during every window. Then kick off a rise one of Seth Rowe's entire sport into chaos and day and once in hell what it all means for the human condition. That's a legendary game day and for me, it's even better with a Miller Lite. I've shared plenty of big football moments with friends while holding nice cold Miller Lite and this weekend comes plenty more. That's right Chris Wittingham. I'm coming to your Bachelor Party. I'm bringing the Miller Lites with me. From pack tailgates to those Bachelor parties to those games, nobody sits down for for the entire fourth quarter. Miller Lite is there.

We are listening to the Dunl Avatar show in partnership with the DraftKin Sports app now live in all 50 states. All right everybody give it up for Friday. Yeah. What? Friday show everybody. Is this crew member work together? Yeah, I'm sure. We got Mike here. We got Tony. We got Chris Coney. We got Jeremy Tashay. We got Boy, Bellamy. I don't know if this crew's ever worked together before. Oh and Dave. Oh, Dave Davish. I guess right. Thank you. Go live from the West Coast. What are your five? My blue. What are your five days like Dave? They're positively joyous. I walk and I get to spend them at least in the early portion of the day.

I'm with you. His wife must hate it though. I'm waking up at 5 a.m. on the West Coast. Just like in the meeting he's bringing energy. I'm looking for logistics here. How does it work? Give me the walk me through the preparation up until this moment. What did the Dave Davish look like? Well, I wake up in the nude and I like to spend the first hour of each day in the nude. Just just just raw, you know, to get my thoughts together. What do I do? What kind of question? What do I do? I drink coffee. I pee. I sit down in the chair and then we kibble about sports and otherwise. The most important sport of all, the game of life. I'm excited to talk about it. You know, that reminds me. I've heard a lot of noise this week that disparages Caleb Williams for taking a cart. A lot of golfers down there in your neck of the woods. What's the preferred mode of transportation when you're playing 18? Do you prefer to walk the course?

Or do you take the cart? When did we become? When did everybody send up to mouth pies? I assume on foot because shame the devil that you would ever take a cart. I want more cart in my life. There are parts of Los Angeles where the affluent in the beach towns, where people as the primary mode of transportation, they just have golf carts. There are no golf courses around. They just drive golf carts around from restaurant to multi-million dollar home and back for food and otherwise. That's living. I'm sorry. Some people care about the environment. Do not want to burn carbon-based fuels. Use an electric vehicle to make short distances rather than ruin the ozone layer. Maybe you should look into that Dave Damage check. I would just drive around like this the whole time. People could yell out at me like, why are you on the cart and be like, yep. See, thumbs up everybody. I'm Caleb Williams driving off. That's winning. That's winning. That's not losing a game. A half or your credibility is a starting quarterback in the NFL.

That's winning as a human being. Taking a cart around. Do you do it with or without a towel over your face because you're in so much anguish? Well, the question is, do you do it with a driver? Do you drive the cart yourself? Because if you're on a cart but somebody else is driving it for you, that's lap a luxury. First and how type stuff right there? That's right. Mike, we're on the front on tonight. Big one against the devil's. I mean, it's always a big one because there are so few teams. But we shame the devil's. That's right. We're still looking for our first win on the year. Weird. I don't know exactly how it's written in the rule book. Apparently some matches are five sets, some matches are six sets. And the way that you know that is, you know, you don't. You just don't. So like the first match of the season, we lost a five setter and would have loved to six sets. With an opportunity to tie, we didn't get that opportunity. Then the second match of the season, we won in five sets, but it was a six setter.

So then we dropped the six sets. So we have a draw. So we're still looking for our first win of the season. As you know, everybody here knows the worst thing you can do in high life is finish second. Because it's the worst spot to draft in. And we're feeling that right now. The runner up curse. Usually you fall off big time at your berry. Let's get it together, pal. This is your playing with some good doubles partners here. Catch the polota. Guillermo put it on the pole is the worst thing you can do in high life is finish. Does everyone know the worst thing you can do in high life is finished. Everyone knows that everyone knows you only get three keepers. You got the worst draft spot. If you win the championship, you get four keepers. That's how we lost high row. Forgive me. You guys are the cyclones. That's right. Yeah. Keep questioning. I don't understand. Explain to me. I'm not I'm not from your neck of the woods. What what what what in hell? What is the tradition? What is that? What is the custom down there? You understand same thing as your favorite college football collective, the hurricanes.

You understand hurricanes are a disaster that attacks you. Right. You get that right. Same thing as a cyclone. I guess there aren't cyclones properly in in Florida. But still, you know, hurricanes are bad. And they happen to you and your team is named after that. W is named after the thing that attacks you. Very weird, but not as weird as I've mentioned before as the Buffalo bills. The city Buffalo is named after the majestic beast that once roamed the planes. But then a guy named Buffalo Bill Cody killed all the Buffalo. And then the Buffalo bills named their team after Buffalo Bill who killed all the Buffalo after which their city is named bizarre. Almost as weird. You named yourself after the natural disaster that has devastated your region. What what's wrong with you? You have low self-esteem. Would you rather be a cyclone or the devil? Yeah. I mean devil ain't good either.

You're absolutely right. Absolutely right. What would you want to be the devil? You're right. Why would you want to be a blue collar job that America has given up on? Right? If you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, like, yeah, that's a good thing. How you doing? I'm just saying we were having fun. We were having fun and now you crossed the line. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you guys want to know what else they don't have in Pittsburgh beyond industry anymore? Oceans for pirates to exist on. What pirate is going that far inland? And also, by the way, penguins? Yes. Happy farewell column, by the way, to Greg Cody. Yeah. I look forward to next week when displace steel workers get a column and get all the fanfare and get an hour of our show where Dan laments the loss of the run of the mill steel worker. How old is Greg? 72. Okay. Retirement age is 68 in most places, right? Like, I love Greg. I love Greg. Me too.

Why was Dan so shocked that the guy who's four years past retirement age got laid off? That's a, you know what? You call that a great career. Yeah. That's a, that's a newspaper people hell of a run. It's iron, hell of a run. He saw the demise of newspapers and lived through it and wrote through it. No one is happy about what happened in newspapers. It stinks. We all feel nostalgic. We all remember opening up the paper and what it made us feel. But times changed. We don't need to stay here this long, crying about it. By the way, I have his column in front of me. The first line. I cannot script this. At about age 10, around the time of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and the escalation of the Big Now War. I started writing a family news that are called fittingly enough, the Cody News. Wrote it on a battleship gray manual royal typewriter that I could barely lift. Nobody asked for this newsletter.

No clue why. Spoiler. Hold back. We need to give Greg click clicks. Now I will encourage people to check it out because he was worried about them like centering him. Apparently he goes after the people that did this to him a little bit where he was worried that things might get edited out. But I believe none of that happened. You want to check it out because I believe he's not playing fully nice here. You're a big bowling guy. You know what? You used to be a job? What? A pin-setter. Yeah. A pin-setter used to be a job. You used to bowl and a guy used to run over and reset the pins. Really? Yes. Mike. They didn't get an article. No. Forget about it. Imagine a pin-setter losing his job. Imagine a 72-year-old pin-setter losing his job. I used to be an ice cutter for 50 years. Back when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, that's when I began cutting ice. Also Jeremy, why? Why for me? Why am I protecting Greg's clicks? Help the man out. He's a guy who likes to set personal records. I'm throwing out. You guys didn't get anything from this. Every Miami-Herald link out there.

You should read the column right now. Read this column. The one. Read this column. And then the full column right now. Now that I think about it, he told me he was hoping he would get edited. So he could say, actually, I put the full version out on my subset. But he didn't get edited. The pin-setter never used to do weekly hits. On Paul and young Ron to promote the pin-setter's podcast. And build a career on a great name that he built over illustrious decades of work. Cry for the pin-setter. And no idea that it would be the spark for a lifelong love of writing. One that, with a faithful series of magic and luck, would lead to a 54-year career with the Miami-Herald Sports Department from part-time clerk to lead columnist. He had, I bet you, he hits his classic line of like, I met the Pope. Like, Edwin Pope, he always does that one. I'm curious. What, you mean you didn't read it? I'm getting to it. He's out of it. Don't read it. I'm boycotting this. I'm going to read it. I'm boycotting this. On behalf of ice-cutters, steel workers, and pin-setters everywhere.

My mother once lamented to me the cliche that quote, time flies. I, by then, I know it all teased, scoffed and told her, Mom, time goes by exactly as fast as it's supposed to. Okay, I hate this. I hate it. I don't like it. Do it in a podcast. A podcast that you built because your career allowed you to build your name on that. So I might be the youngest on the show, but I am now in my 30s. And I've reached a point where I'm genuinely trying to be more intentional about what I put into my body. Now, the problem is that supplements can get overwhelming fast. And you start looking into what you should be taking. What you shouldn't be taking, and suddenly it feels like you need an entire cabinet dedicated to bottles. So I'm actually really excited to try I am eight. I am eight daily, ultimate essentials combined 16 supplements and 90 ingredients across nine major organ systems into one drink. It was co-founded by David Beckham and built by leading doctors and researchers. In a clinical trial conducted by the San Francisco Research Institute, 95% of people who tried it for 12 weeks felt more energy.

I need more energy. So mine is on the way. And I'm looking forward to seeing how easily I can work one drink into my routine instead of trying to keep track of a million different things.

Oh, and building your new stadium in the state your team actually plays in. It sports. Some things just make sense. You know what else makes sense? Drinking yeager, my sir shot. Ice cold. Drinking it any other way would be like punting on first down. Or letting you worse hit her that first or like going for two when you're down three with a second ago.

It wouldn't make any sense. So don't let the team down when it comes to you. I'm drinking cold or drinking at all. Yeah, you're my sir. Damn, that's cold. Pretty responsibly. You're going to cure 35% alcohol by volume imported by mass to you. I'm not going to apologize. I wouldn't expect you to apologize. Then you're a giant infant. Okay. You have no control over your emotions. You have no control over your emotions when you're calling someone you know an idiot. I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. And you're a fool for saying it. Okay. Great. You were a fool. Yeah, I was kind of following. Oh, you're locking in right now. You're locking in on ice. Yeah, right. Let's drop the gloves, pal. Let's rock. You should be thanking me for what? Every day for what I've done around this character. And the second shit gets real for you, you want to come at me and call me a fool? Huh? Get in the middle. Seriously. Seriously, pal. I've had it 10 years to your career. This is the Derelebatas show.

Five years before, five each years before Greg Cody becomes a scribe professionally in Miami. The Miami Dolphins take the field for the first time. I'm going to be a great man. I'm going to be a great man. I'm going to be a great man. I'm going to be a great man. I'm going to be a great man. I'm going to be a great man. I'm going to be a great man. I'm going to be a great man. I'm going to be a great man. I'm also going to be a great man. Yeah. I've come to tryог part to do the most. I appreciate today's video saying that you're a power, I don't think you're meet here fishing out here. Maybe tell me which channel you are It's a really smart one. Some Donald still have been in sourcing this one on YouTube. So there are these trapezoid fans who also我想 what they say. Theesser kinds of the pros. You got to hatch this one. I am going to say, or maybe start catching up on drugs. What's up �. Where's it actually? Oh, go on. you're not just nurturing yourself with the dolphins. You understand? First of all, the disparity between your Saturday team and your Sunday team is as vast as I can recall in any football town ever. I mean, somebody can point it out to me. Maybe Cal Berkeley was especially atrocious when the Niners were winning Super Bowls or something. But so you

might go undefeated with the canes. I don't want to call them the canes anymore. I want to take a philosophical stance against you. You can call them to you. Okay. I'll do that. Now you have the dolphins. And if you really absorbed, I know, like I say, you were talking about it. They they they want to go 0 for 17 or at least they wanted to be bad. Do they they have now set themselves up successfully to be awful. So now you might go 0 and 17, which is a sad irony for the one team in pro football history that went 17 to know. Are you ready for that for the disgrace? You're not the browns. You're not the lions. You're the Miami dolphins. You possess two lambarties. Yeah. You're the you're the you're the town of Zonka and and Marino and Shula. And you're on purpose going to go 0 and 17 fat. You should be sick in your balls collectively down there. Chris Cody gets sick in his balls every consecutive week. You do that bit. Yeah. We're like four weeks running on the big disparity between

college and pro and each week each passing week. You get more right. You also get more sick in the balls. You also get more sick in the balls. But let's talk about the you, the aforementioned you. I don't know if you guys saw the news, but Steve Sarkiesian. Once again, this guy cannot keep my name. He's name out of his mouth. He loves to have the hurricanes in his mouth. Unlike Dave Damish. Check. Here's what Steve Sarkiesian said about the upcoming game where President Donald Trump will be attending Tennessee versus Texas. In the fourth quarter, if he decides to leave early, your communication gets cut off and shuts down. So I'm, you know, I'm a good friend of mine as Mario Christobal. Last year when they're playing Indiana in the national championship, they had that drive at the end of that game. They had no communications because he was leaving early before the game ended. And so you get no warning. It just cuts out. And so you got to be prepared for that. That is definitely something that is unique that could come up in this ballgame. All right. Good friends. They work together once. I don't know how good

a friends they are. But let's, let's believe Steve there. Steve says that this happened in the fourth quarter. Everybody assumed this happened. The same drive that Roy said Carson Beck's going to throw an interception. You want to know what this is because everyone's like, I, I'm probably going to surprise you with this and say like, ah man, 45, 47 did us dirty. And that's why we lost. No, no, no, no, I'm not going to do that. All this is about is Steve Sarkiesian trying to bake in an excuse before a big road SEC game. That's all this is about. All right. He shouldn't be doing that. He shouldn't be volunteering that that is not his place. I had never heard about this. You know why? Because Miami apparently makes less excuses than Steve Sarkiesian does before a big road game. And for the people out there that say that, oh, this happened in the final drive, it didn't, it didn't, it happened in the second half. It's true. Miami's had a communication went out. So did I use both teams had to deal with it? In fact, I believe Miami ended up scoring on

the drive that it happened. And I use defensive coordinator. Wasn't super thrilled about it. But it's something that both teams had to deal with. And yes, it happens when the president shows up there for Steve Sarkiesian doing Vogue Miami and all that. Just get out of here. Shut up. It's funny. The idea him's Trump staying till the fourth quarter. Like no, it was early in the second half. I I just love that before the show Dave Dammishack played a game of inception with me. He planted an idea in my head that I cannot shake, which is that Steve Sarkiesian looks like Darth Vader at the end of return of the Jedi when he gets unmasked by Luke and he's dying. And he tells it tell your sister you're right. You're right. He looks exactly like that. Get it straight. Please. That's what he says. He tells tell you sister you are right. This is that's what. No. Yeah. That's not well. He he's no longer just called him Vader. He's not Vader anymore because remember he threw the emperor down that that that that that vast no. Right. He went shoo and like all the lightning shot up and

everything like that. And then somehow that took away Vader's powers. I don't know what happened. But like he was like wipe that a kill. Well, the four slight the four slightening short circuited him. He was an incredible thing about that little little vague about how that kills Vader to do that. But I think you want to have a nerd off. It's because the suit was made specifically to conduct four slightly. That's what Palpatine did on purpose to keep him in check because he knew that's the chosen one. That's the chosen one. But then skywalk Luke says to his his return father Anakin is he's laying there on that on that ramp to try to get away from the Death Star. He's like there's still I can save you. There's still time. Yes. And Anakin says you already have Luke. You already have that's sarcasy and complaining about crystal ball. His dear friend. And by the way, we're talking with the original version of came out. That bill. That's how I built him.

The original 19 where we where he still has eyebrows because you guys know in the remastered edition that came out and all the ones on Disney plus now they digitally CGI the eyebrows out with the original version in theaters. He had thick bushy eyebrows man. He had some he had some Zach Harper looking at side brows. It was when Al Capone was running the streets and prohibition was running rampage that I an elevator operator began my work. Are we doing like this. All right. I hear you. But it's enough. We were like, I'm sorry, Amit. I want to throw this question to to are you lover there. Would you rather have it? We came up on football America to meet Caballo Tony and the rest of the crew. And now I turn to you with this same question. Would you rather have the 2026 and into early portion of 27 the future of the you or all the SEC all the SEC you get all the teams. So who's got the brighter between now and the national championship

games conclusion? Whose future do you perceive as brighter? My goal all the securities and exchange commission all that I mean I know I chose yeah yeah you know what I chose Mike you're I chose for how long is there the big 10 exists. That one's tough that one's tough especially since I assume the NCAA is going to do everything in its power along with ESPN to sway the pendulum back in the direction of the SEC. I'd probably say it's close but I take the SEC. That's super interesting because if the you I think it boils down to again what you were talking about earlier in the week which is. Oh wait it's just this. It's just this year. This year. Oh okay. Oh okay. Oh no I thought you were going to I thought you were asking me the different version of the question that you asked me before the show which is what I take one title instead of the next 25 years for the Miami Hurricanes and that one was easy. I'll take the next 25 years Miami Hurricanes. I

think that's a super interesting question and let's not eat up that content that's a that's a rich. One half minutes upcoming but in the here and now I'm just talking about but by the end I said the end of the end of the year. Oh give me an early 27. Give me the case. Yes the the southeastern conference that hasn't played in the last three title games. Yeah give me the Miami Hurricanes. Well yeah and also but it does go back to what you were talking about earlier in the week which I thought you were weirdly dismissive of not you Mike but the the the overall conversation was like well the Cains are going to make the whoever wins that Notre Dame game gets a buy and that is not a small matter. It's one last game after all. What like would you do you want to avoid that extra game? Yeah of course you want to avoid the extra game. So if they beat Notre Dame they I mean they're in the cat bird seat there there's nothing that gets in the way. I want the buy they're underbeat. I want the buy. I know my aim is going to want that game Mario Chris about teams show up for big games. I can't wait for that game when it comes. I think my aim is going to absolutely go for it. The buy is huge. The the thing that really resonated with

me the most as a confetti rain down on my sneakers and I could barely pick my head up after in the game. I'm sorry about that again what happened last. I mean I that you're not at all. I felt bad that that that Fernando who's from your neck of the woods too that it like my alma mater went down there and you know really ruined your dream. That's right. I feel like I'm on behalf of every ecstasy circuition. We all know what happened. You feel responsible there Dave. We all know what happened. I just I just want to I'm an empath. I just feel bad. Dude one of my favorite things is watching Miami Hurricane fans react to this in real time and all of them who have that stupid hat with a you in the middle. You know what I'm talking about. You're like what does this mean for me? The only thing that could change a Cuban conservatives mind is the fact that Donald Trump went up to take a leak and it might have caused Miami and national title. So I'd like as much as I hate to stand in the way that it didn't actually matter. But I'll take the canes here but the point that I was trying to make is when the confetti rain down I was like that was really hard to get there.

That was that was really hard going through college station going through the cotton bowl again so high-o state going having my heart in my throat as that chamberless pass goes into the end zone getting all the flashbacks to a previous Viestable to see if there would be a flag on the field. It was really really hard to get to that Carson Beck throw. It was insanely difficult. Sign me the hell up for having to play one fewer game. Sign me up right now for not having to watch Motore die in the end zone and seal a game against Marcel Reed in Texas A&M. I am going to die sooner because of what happened in the CFP. There is no doubt in my mind what happened during the CFP by degrees killed me a little and I don't want one more game. So true put on the pole Giromo will Mike die sooner sooner because of college football playoff games. Yes it's true. My knees were

knocking in college station. Now the nicotine probably was a bad idea. There was a lot of way it was willing. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah if you put a mean I asked Mike before the show and what did did you agree with where he says his heart is I asked him would you rather have to win the national championship once as a long suffering relatively speaking it was exciting to see the run and everything but ultimately it ends in heartbreak as you say part of you died Mike would you rather see your team finally get over the hump after a long wait away from such things or your guaranteed you get Mario Cristobal for the next quarter century. Do you think it's right that he says Cristobal because I guess it keeps you relevant at minimum. This is a hypothetical that I've asked many a time to my Nick Fan friends and it was such a great hypothetical up until they actually won it but would you trade like would you rather them winning and you seeing it or 25 years of having a good shot at winning it

and for most Nick fans because success is something that had been so fleeting they just give me one I just want to know I saw a championship before I died and I always wonder about that because you know I'm a big Giants fan but I'm what my good friend David Jacobi calls a die easy Giants fan I'm not a diehard fan I'm a die easy fan meaning as long as the Giants deliver a Super Bowl once a decade I'm cool with them being awful everything once a decade is great dog 80s 90s 2000s 2010 I'm like this is amazing yeah every decade of my life I've seen the Giants win a Super Bowl. I mean there are certain franchises that I would sign up for that when the when the Panthers were making their runs to the cup as we were up 3-0 against the Oilers I'm like just give me this one and I'm good now the Panthers are going to end up being in the conversation so would have been a bad transaction then they ended up going back to back right but it's a long suffering fan. Tony you know that moment at a party or a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks I know well it's

usually when I show up everybody goes crazy yeah you usually take all the credit for it but it's because Tony usually walks in with queer blocking like this yeah yeah yeah queer vote is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night it has that effect on people it does you usually take the credit for it but again it's the queer vote effect it's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up hooting and hollering keep it queer vote keep it the quervo baby.

here are who christmas been here for now five years they're nationally relevant again they were a national runner up and the way the college football is designed it's nowhere near as random as pro sports as long as Mario christival is well here in Miami the Miami Hurricanes are going to be nationally relevant and in that CFP conversation pretty much every year unless an injury bugs like totally undoes them do you think college football or college sports a settled now okay this is the new normal because I feel like it's still shifting it might be so different five years from now there are actually a lot of things in the protect college sports act that I like that I think most fans like that I think is common sensical let me let me have says I haven't said this at all every day I listen to show when I'm not here and Dan railing again this thing is all that I and like I read through it and I'm like this time kind of good I don't like what part of this is so awful most of it's good most of it's good I don't like the the cap on the conferences I don't like the

Notre Dame poison pill where yeah sure dependent like there's things specifically designed that Jim Phillips of all people the ACC commissioner is driving to make sure that Miami and UNC can't maximize their value but I guess my question is this to hear Dan talk about the protect college sports act is like this is going to like subjugate the student athletes and I'm I'm reading down I'm like I don't like I don't think there's a problem say hey man you can't just keep transferring like I don't think that's like a so awful I agree I agree I think they're they're common sense things in there and while what I want mostly from this thing is for the labor to have a seat at the table for this to be a true collectively bargain thing you can I'm pro cap I I need to in America in this country I'm dealing right now our sports our sports have salary caps I want rules for everybody that will be enforced equally I don't believe that they will be because this

bill is drawn up by the big 10 in the SEC so yes I have my Miami bias I think that yes I have a persecution complex but if you read the bill it's specifically weighted against Miami's best interest and that is irrefutable that doesn't sound like what Dan's complaints are I'm gonna see I'm gonna see what the labor like booker had an incredible ideas like all right you want to cap the labor I'm adding to this a provision that we cap head coach salaries at five million dollars no no no no no no no no that's going too far too far pay cut pay cut no no no but it it shows you the hypocrisy this is all about if these problems were so bad there would not be college football right now Dave it would not that this machine would not keep rolling if the money wasn't there they're making more money than ever what this is is by the way I saw a report that the NCAA over the last five years when it when it comes to legal fees and settlements that they've had to pay out because they're over a billion in courts seven hundred million dollars over the last five

years you mean to tell me that's seven hundred million dollars that they've spent in legal fees and settlements alone couldn't be a part of this solution this is about power this is about making sure that they get most of the revenue and lock the labor out of the CBA Dave yeah I mean first of all the the conflict between what we want is fans to see because we want you know we want recognizable players and you know a through line from season to season what you want is a human being that was obviously for the freedom of guys with a rare talent to be able to take advantage of that in college and and beyond at the pro level the thing that it adds up to me and I'm a dummy I really do not understand you know high math and all that kind of stuff but correct me if I'm wrong Mike what this does is ultimately it squeezes out it pays the best players but when you cap it the guys who are not going to get paid then are the ham and agers and as a as a as a lifelong ham and ager I am sensitive to that right like the best players are going to still be making three million

dollars a year the guys who ain't going to get paid anymore are the alignment and otherwise right I think what it'll it'll be interesting to see Dave because if everyone gets a cap that means they can allocate it however they want if they get a forty eight million dollar cap they could conceivably give forty seven million to one player and fill out the roster the rest of the way so there's going to be cap mismanagement well the way that there is right now just without a hard cap even though there is supposed to be one with a revenue sharing you know what I ask when I hear about cap mismanagement is there a mister management uh i don't like it time i mean yep you have been told the bars enough you got you got a walk right up and say hello mismanagement yeah mister management to put a button on like the the Miami perspective of this I just want a level playing field I think there's plenty of this stuff that makes sense in this outside of them very clearly trying to get one over on the labor I just have very little faith

that the NCAA will enforce the rules that the big ten and SEC are writing I actually don't believe it's going to be a level playing field I'd be more inclined to think that Miami will have the same rules as the the halves in this situation if they were able to get into the big ten that is something that Jim Phillips and Notre Dame are trying to actively make sure it doesn't happen so yeah screw this bill all right there you go ladies and gentlemen screw this bill says one Michael Ryan Ruiz I mean you like you you like the Phoenix Suns or at least you are I worked it I don't I don't have any I associate you with them because of professional yes um Mike and a lot of other people are around you right now are big canes fans why do they and then we have the signature game of this Saturday in Georgia Tech Stanford white SEC team against orange and white SEC team what's the best orange based uniform and all of sport the best orange the driptor iller Mike Ryan in the

second everybody else take a real real quick off the top of my head Phoenix Suns Charles Barclay Sunburst Jersey I think it's one of the greatest jerseys in the history of jerseys globally historically that's a period very 90s yes yes but it doesn't make sense otherwise timeless it is timeless I'm going to say one that I mean we'll immediately agree and say that's it we the contest is over the Dutch national team oh my god what a banger what a you know what I love about national team colorways is when it's like why did the Dutch were orange I had some guys a duke of orange or something like it's some of the like weirdest most obscure what is it only where blue yeah why does australia we're green and yellow they went with two colors two colors that are not featured at all in their flag I love it I can't get enough of it like the idea like yeah yeah I know what the flag looks like this is this is what the jersey is gonna for talking college though I'd go Texas I happen to know that I was Dave's favorite that Dave Dave is going to see his favorite

uniform and all of college sports arguably when the Texas long horns go up against the Tennessee volunteers and I believe Dave that the Tennessee volunteers have a social responsibility to either go all orange orange tops orange pant or one of their black or smokey mountain variance because that's going to be very hard on the eyes if they go orange tops white pant what's a you amen I they you you just said it all there I don't necessarily love when Tennessee goes with that all black up that's the lamest thing the teams do is though they've reinvented the wheel and they're like look where I see we were all white or we're midnight now like we're headed to either like you should do it this time you should do it this time balls because your visitors it'll look nice if you go with the black against the all white long horns get ups otherwise it's going to be an eyesore orange v orange clashing versions of orange at that no good fat I don't like it but Mike do you say that the

canes whatever you consider their best get up their orange based get up is that better than either the balls or the long no I'll surprise you with that too because the Miami Hurricanes uniform doesn't make a lot of sense it actually bothers me similar to the way that the Dallas Cowboys uniform triggers me this is actually look this is a good example let's put up what we see in preview when they wear their stormtrooper get up it's one of the rare occasions where the piping matches on the sleeves and down the pant however look at the helmet you got the orange in the middle I've always thought that Miami should because no one's going to notice they should have the stripe that goes down the middle and they should have variants of that to match the piping it bothers the hell out of me I've actually raised this with Miami equipment we have to fix this it's huge all three usually don't make sense I was going to say the Miami the Willis McGay he jerseys yeah the one said Adidas is bringing back are they 25th anniversary of the the oh one yeah no those stock the vertical

stripe the side dude dude Willis Willis McGay can make any uniform look good like the white top with the green pant I mean those calves I'm not the one from Cleveland the green one and it's got like the it's not even piping it's just like this one small line I don't know what it'll look like in an Adidas version but the Nike look so freaking clean yeah I remember what everybody looked Jack I remember watching that team and like man that's a cool ass uniform man that's like like it really has to move you we like I have no connections to this university but like that's a cool jersey man and the shiny pants back then but now like if you watch in the NFL pants like that belong to the Saints and in the Cowboys they used to shine but now it's kind of like this powdery finish and that's what Adidas is doing with these Nike ones back then though in the early 2000s you had such a shine to the pants you kind of look like a dolphin a tactical military Navy SEAL dolphin that was doing a night mission take that slick I don't well I mean I just

fundamentally disagree with you about about that but Mike I think sincerely one of the few people who maybe picked up what you were just laying down about the difference striping and how it drives you crazy now I already thought it now I know you are my fashion soul mate no wonder we do the drip drill because the Broncos at the height of their 80s powers when they were going to the Super Bowl the pants stripe did not match the rest of the striping on the uniform and it made me loco and I used to complain about it and people would say what the hell are you talking about you dork and that brings us to the here and now which I suspect the mean and meekabayo Tony are thinking what the hell are you talking about dork nothing has changed but you get me Mike and that's what matters most every game day you show up for your team now it's your time we go we go ask your prescriber about we govi some maglatide injection 2.4 milligrams a glp one call 1 8333
