Starting point is 00:03:04 Oh, me, breathe, low and low. We know no love, baby. You were wondering about soft while we lost last night, but a big, a big deal to me was my parents. I'm driving to the game. It's raining out. I'm wondering if the game's going to be on or not. And I see my parents on the road in front of me,
Starting point is 00:03:46 and I flash my lights at them, tell him pull over. And I'm like, what the hell you guys doing out at this hour? Because we had a 9 o'clock game, and they were like, we're going to your game. So I have mom and dad at the game. We took an L, we got eliminated basically by ceramico tile. Hats off to those guys.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Really a first class organization. But it was great having my folks at the game. And after the game, dad was like, how's the pot? I'm like, fuck, at the moment, I have no idea who's going to be on it tomorrow. And the content never sleeps, man. You know, so he said, I'll come in, be your bullpen guy. You know, he always offers. If you got nothing going on, I'll come.
Starting point is 00:04:23 come in and be the pinch hitter. And so I took him up on it. We talked about the NFL schedule release. It's fun because I got to show him these videos that these teams are coming out with on Twitter. Obviously, he hasn't seen those. We told some old stories. We talked about Wem and Yama.
Starting point is 00:04:40 We've talked about a few things. Stick around towards the back for an exciting draft too. Oh yeah, flat top draft in honor of how he long. So without further ado, we just turned the money. mic on and rolled. Dr. Faxx was talking about getting his, I don't know, what were you talking about getting some sort of some cash from the NFL for your line of duty? Oh yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:05 For surgeries. Yeah. You want like a surgery allotment. Anyways, we cut the mic on and went, so here it goes. You get 25 a K a year from the NFL if you get that for like various surgeries and treatments and that sort of thing. If you get any surgeries, what surgery, would you get the make you taller surgery? You get a BBL?
Starting point is 00:05:36 No, I told you guys. I think I would be a little scared, but I think I've read that they might have started rolling out some, quote, unquote, test dummies are real people. But I want to get the chip that can make you understand. understand and talk all languages. That's like the movie. Don't they have a pill for that? Well, they're starting. I think people are starting.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Yeah. Yeah. I think people are starting to get like chips implanted in them for various things. And I think down the line, I would assume that's going to be like some at some point that's going to happen. And I think that would be probably one of the most useful things. Limitada. Uh, what is this?
Starting point is 00:06:24 I already have the chip. It's limitless. He's got that go-to word. We'll take off in every country once that happened. Yeah, we will. Yeah, exactly. Uh, okay, nothing else. Um,
Starting point is 00:06:38 are you close to, are you close to getting the money? I don't want to fuck it up for you. We shouldn't. No, no, it has nothing to do with that. No, but, um, the, the getting taller thing seems way,
Starting point is 00:06:52 Did you know that they're doing this? Too painful. Yeah, I saw it. But you know what? You're looking at it from a totally different perspective. Up above them. You're looking at it, yeah, I mean, and what I tell people who are, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:05 I don't know what you call short, but tell people that are perceived by society's being short. I like how you're doing that. No, no, really, because I honestly don't know. I don't look around thinking that's a short guy. I don't know how tall someone is. Yeah. Until someone walks in like, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:22 from the team. Yeah, like, yeah, John Phillips. John Phillips walks in, he's six, four, six, five, six, six. You know, then you know how tall he is. Yeah. If the people who are shorter knew that we don't really think about it, this is good, this is therapeutic. No, it really is.
Starting point is 00:07:40 If they knew, if you only knew that if I don't, I don't really think about it. There's a whole range in there between five, nine, and six foot where I'm like, oh, your average height. So we went to Milan and, great trip to Milan and they've got a beautiful church there and and the last supper is in Milan. It's a fresco on the wall and, and you go in through these, you know, it's airtight, you know, it's got the rotating doors. It's like it used to be in some stadiums where you go through,
Starting point is 00:08:12 you can hear the suction in the door. And it's one of the strangest things. Here's the last supper. and in the middle of the last supper painting, which covers the whole wall, Napoleon took out the bottom, the middle section a foot and a half up and cut it out because his horse didn't fit in the building. No way. I thought you're going to say because he was too short or so.
Starting point is 00:08:37 No, but you know, that's kind of a short guy move. It is a short guy move. You know? It's a total short guy move. It's parked the horse outside. You know? Well, people always say you have a Napoleon complex.
Starting point is 00:08:49 What does that happen? mean. Yeah. Right. What does that? My thing is he actually wasn't that short for his time. Did you know that? How tall was he? I think he was like five eight? I think like five six. Five six. But back then everybody was diminutive. Well, you look at the buildings here in town that are, you know, some in 1700s, our house is kind of a short people. An outlier, you know, where the hallways are big, the doorways are big. But typically everything is built shorter. That's interesting. Well, it's like, We were on the USS Harry S. Truman. Everything in the military, the Navy, is built for a certain height, like 6-1, 6-2.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Because you can't be 6-6-6-6 walking through. Right. So Terry were on Truman the first day. Everything's steel on the USS Harry as Truman, all those ships. It's all steel. He walks through, hits his head on that doorway, and it staggered him a little bit. And then sure enough, we went back around that afternoon. He hit the same doorway and it brought him down to a knee.
Starting point is 00:09:56 God, hell. And I'm like, at some point, you're going to realize the doorway is six feet tall. There's some scouting. Yeah, and the rooms are tiny and the bunks are made for someone who's like six to. No, I definitely agree. It's a perspective thing because it's funny for me. Like, we were all defensive linemen in the NFL. And for me, at the time, I was always the smallest guy in the room.
Starting point is 00:10:15 So on a daily basis, like when I was in the NFL, like, I was a short guy. So it's just like, when you have, yeah, when I'm always around. I don't feel big either because my little brother and him. Exactly. Like I just, in my head, I'm an average size. When I'm around my family or people and people are just like, Nate, like you're really big. You can't move like that. Like I don't feel that way because I'm always around.
Starting point is 00:10:37 I'm usually around people who are bigger than me. So I'm usually the short guys. So shout out to short people, quote unquote short people to start the show. I just, we were thinking, we weren't thinking about you. And now we are. And we don't care. Hey, Dad, when you walked in, you said,
Starting point is 00:10:56 first thing you said, the place smells like Woodstock, fuck. At least the way I had a visual woods. I was, how do you know? I heard. I saw a lot of documentaries on Woodstock. It's the thing.
Starting point is 00:11:08 We like clean this thing. This is the cleanest, the least smelly this place has been in quite a while. So shout out to these guys for rearranging the set. I mean, you should come in more often. But obviously we didn't do a good enough. You know, what's that?
Starting point is 00:11:21 Well, you know, I mean, I'm kind of, you know, I'm walking into a room and, you know, I'm a little more sensitive to that than, you know, these two guys was funny at the softball game. Because I was thinking about the movie Moneyball. Yeah. And who's the guy who was, you know, the guy that couldn't throw, he's in. Got Hattaberg? Hattaberg. First base. Yes, but who played him?
Starting point is 00:11:47 Chris Pratt. Chris Prack. Chris Pratt was great. And I remember when they switched in the first base. They signed him. He was a catcher. He couldn't throw. And they switched into first base.
Starting point is 00:11:58 And the one player that they signed for big money is an older guy. David Justice. David Justice. He's in the lunchroom with him. And he's saying, you know, so David Justice, just after the conversation where Brad Pitt were, you know, he's saying, hey, we need you to lead. We need you to be more of a team guy.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And he asks Matt, Kingston says, hey, what's your biggest worry? I mean, what's your biggest fear about playing first base? He said that the ball comes in my direction. He said, no, no, really, he said, no, really. Yeah. That was. I understand that.
Starting point is 00:12:36 He said that to me last night. Yeah, it's true. It's true out there, man. I pulled my hamstring last night trying to field a ground ball. You know, I'm one of these guys. If you hit it to the spot, I might be okay. but I realized I'm not I'm retiring from second base I yeah to I went to second turn to that one play I turned two yeah turn two had a nice but but you know the
Starting point is 00:12:57 problem is like I got the the speed to get over to a ground ball but then to bend down and get it it's just not happening and and and you know what sometimes you got to be like hey that day is over do you think maybe being in a being in a squatted position are you talking about me mostly with that? No, no, no. I'm saying. I'm trying to think Nate was excited. The ball be beating them up. Yeah, yeah. That's okay. But look, I'm not going to lie. I lucked up and the best spot in slow pitch softball to play hands down is catcher. It's the easy spot. There's no pressure because there's no stealing. Like a couple of foul balls, they might come your way. Nobody can say good pitch like you every time the ball is throw. Is the umpire, is the umpire, did you, do you feel like the umpire more so in softball
Starting point is 00:13:51 because it's, I think it's really subjective. Absolutely. It's pretty subjective. Yeah. Because it's not just, I mean, there's movement in, in, you think that's a power position? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. You're like God out there.
Starting point is 00:14:02 You were saying good pitch. But you never turn around. You never make, you know, an ugly face, anything that would lead him to believe that you're showing him up. Yeah, you want to feed the ego of those umpire. Yeah, it's hitting the plate. I'm not sure what a strike is. But the good pitch that like, the thing I like about the good pitch, it's a mental, it's a mental
Starting point is 00:14:22 battle for the, for the hitter. Because when you say good pitch, I think the hitter, regardless if they think it's a good pitch or not, sometimes they swing at, they swing at balls that maybe they don't want to. Yeah, for sure. Okay. Because the umpire, the umpires also, they, they scream illegal before. the ball gets over if it's too low. You should be able to say a good pitch before the ball gets there.
Starting point is 00:14:47 You guys looked a lot like the early version of that money ball team. Yeah. How did they do? They end up, they end up doing really well. See, here's the thing. The all-time consecutive wins record. And we're out. Like we, last night, we got a few games left, but we had to beat Ceramico Tile to get into the dance.
Starting point is 00:15:03 I was secretly rooting for it to be canceled. They had a lot. They had a lot. They had a lot while. Maybe somebody wouldn't be able to well, we were kind of secretly playing for that too. driving down it because it was one of those nights where you know it's it's in between you're going to get wet it's it's raining and uh but then they've got a rotweiler in the dugout yeah they did have a fucking rot while there's a big rot while yeah i like the dog we met that dog
Starting point is 00:15:28 afterwards when we were drinking sodas in the parking lot great sure it's a good boy lovable dog i pulled in the parking lot and i see four or five guys out there just you know slamming some whatever yeah yeah it's a beer league Pre-game waters. But did you have fun watching, though? We had a ball. How'd your kids do? We had a ball.
Starting point is 00:15:49 You guys still got it. I mean, actually, I think the precursor to your hamstring pull was the triple. Yeah, just having to run that triple out. No question. You had to run it out. Yeah, I had to run that thing. Because the last thing you want to do is get caught on the fur. The ball got to the fence in a hurry. I had to, you know.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah. And once I pulled the hamstring, I was just trying to hit the ball out the last. I'll admit, I wasn't trying to get on base. It looked like it was going. I thought it was going. But Kyle still hits the piss out. of the ball. He's just he's always been a line drive hitter and he doesn't get a lot of loft on it. No. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. When he'd hit a home run back in a day, it would be out in a hurry.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Hit a hurry. Yeah. Yeah, but so we're, we're eliminated, but we had fun, you know, I got a lot of a lot of fun. Be looking forward to playing this year. Well, you got guys, you think about the guys, you got, Anthony never played baseball. But here's the thing too. So he probably should be eliminated. Ben's back from I.R. Yeah. Yeah. No, we got to develop our child. And re- Yeah. Is that money ball? And Reid tried, but to our credit, we didn't practice once. No. Next year, we'll get this operation together a little bit better.
Starting point is 00:16:54 You ought to think about stretching a little bit. Forget about practice. I did stretch a little bit before. I did stretch. I mean, like, I... Almost every game. I'm a member at the YMC. I'm in there an hour before.
Starting point is 00:17:07 He's in there an hour before. I don't know if anyone know, but I'm always in there an hour before. You warm up at the YMCA? Absolutely. after the first game, I'm not warming up and me running the first base and having that, oh, that almost pull, I was like, yeah, I've only
Starting point is 00:17:21 pulled my hamstring really twice in my life and it's been playing softball. That's why, facts, that's why your car was so smoky before the game, right? Because he was just really hot. Yeah, it was really hot. That was really steam. Yeah, it was just steamed.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Warming up for the game. The softball thing, though, it was really a lot of fun. Yeah, it's fun. You get together with your buddies. And it's a, it's a broad spectrum of people. Yes, it is. It really is. The guy, hey, I don't know whether the guy was 37, he's had a hard life.
Starting point is 00:17:52 My favorite player. Or the guy on the mound was 56. Jimmy? Jimmy? He's like, he was maybe a backup guitarist for Zizi top, and he's now in the witness protection program in Green County or something. Yeah, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:09 This guy's awesome. He was mowing us down in jeans. No, I'm making big snatches. Yeah, dude. One, one. That finger came up before he hit the ground when he caught the ball. He caught the ball still in air through his finger out. The guy has a beard down to his belly.
Starting point is 00:18:25 He's 55 years old. The first time I saw him, I thought he looked like David Alncoe, but he does look like 100%. But yeah, he's my favorite player in the league. And I got a picture with him after the game. I'm like, I don't usually. I heard you tell him that. Yeah, he's my guy.
Starting point is 00:18:39 I mean, we played each other a couple times. You've got to poach that left field. Good hit, Chris. Yeah, we need to get that left field. You got to get the left field. He wants to play for you guys. He's in the transfer portal as far as it. Yeah, he's in the transfer.
Starting point is 00:18:49 He said he doesn't know anybody on the team. Yeah. We'll entice a few of those guys. But shout out to Ceramico because they were good sports. We left them a voicemail. They deleted it because they thought it was a prank call. Which it was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Okay, Dad, well, you mentioned Moneyball. We are going to watch some sports movies this summer and do some reviews. So when I'm out in Montana, I have a little time away. We're going to bank those. And we'll probably me and Kyle sit down watching football movies, whatever. Do you have a short list of sports movies that you think are must-seas? Well, you know, there's the five or six that, you know, pop right in your head. But for you guys, maybe you guys haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:19:31 North Dallas 40 was an interesting movie. John Matusak was in it. Yeah. And it was really good in it. It was really a kind of a complex depiction of that time where, you know, you were, back in those days, you had the one team doctor, you couldn't go to any other doctor, you know, you got shot up a lot, you know, you did whatever you had to do, and, you know, money wasn't guaranteed and all those things.
Starting point is 00:20:02 But that was an interesting take. I mean, the parties, it's like any given Sunday, you know, Where is there a party where they're saw in a car and a half? I play for the Raiders and I've never seen parties like that. You know? I would say that. Anything with, I like Buddy Ball. I think the, what are your favorites?
Starting point is 00:20:28 Man, I don't know. The fighter, warrior, warrior, warrior. Warrior was great. Warrior was great. I can remember. You remember we were all watching that? And everyone was tearing up at the end. During the Moby Dick scene.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Oh, God. It was a Gary Busey. During the boat around. And everybody, like, it was Nick Nolte's same as North Dallas 40. Nick Nolte, sorry. And they, that's great. Isn't it hard with Nick Nolte and Gary Busey? Is it hard with those two to?
Starting point is 00:20:55 They are doppelgangers. That's for sure. So anyways, Nolte is reading the audio book, and it's like dead quiet. You could hear a pin drop. And I hear a recovering alcohol. Yeah. And I just went off the way. a sniffle and then I hear a dad I hear dad go and then and then I hear it was brutal and then and then
Starting point is 00:21:11 uh howie my youngest brother I see him walking you walk out of the room uh like I think everybody was uh was misty you know you think you think that movies like it's an m m you know not remember the Titans is is football and everything about and Denzel's great and you could watch that a million times you know Rudy you could watch a bunch uh but that movie was at its face value if you're you're you're you really don't know anything about it you see an m-ma movie you say i don't want to watch an m-ma movie and it's everything but m-ma really yeah it's about a broken family and brothers and a father who's troubled and you know just a really fascinating movie with kind of a a cool ending the replacements the replacements with Shane Falco
Starting point is 00:22:05 Yep, the replacements and then Friday Night Lights. Okay, we're going to watch both those, yeah, for sure. Friday Night Lights is one of my favorites, and I think the scene with Boobie Miles, just like him being hurt and just like resonating, like, just the reality of playing any sport, like you can have a career ending or season ending or an injury to change the trajectory of your career in that sport. And I just feel like that that scene is so memorable from that movie. And it's a sixth man with the Wayans brothers. When he walked through the wall, as a kid, I was, I was tore up.
Starting point is 00:22:49 The best Wayans Brothers sports movie, though, is Celtic Pride. I've never seen Celtic pride. And then if you like, no, I'm just kidding. Are you serious? If you like Warrior, it's directed by Gavin O'Connor, who's done some other sports movies. He did Miracle, which is good. And then also this movie was an affleck called,
Starting point is 00:23:04 speech and the way back about like a recovering alcoholic basketball coach miracle was great a kid who lived you know three streets down for me jack hill callan was in that movie he was the kid from charlestown was getting in all the fights nice like he's got hurt he's actually featured in the movie he's featured in the movie yeah hockey was pretty big in charleston right what's that hockey was oh hockey was huge in boston uh yeah didn't you used to well he used to play hockey yeah growing up yeah Yeah. As a matter of fact, when we had the rink here on the downtown mall, we used to rent the ice at, you know, maybe 9 o'clock or 8 o'clock some nights. That reminds me. And I'd pay some guy who was a goalie, you know, 15 bucks to just.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Really? That's awesome. Y'all used to go down there and play. You came. Well, I came one time and tried to skate and busted my head. Yeah, you fell. Yeah, I'm not skater. Skating's not, you know, unless you do it when you're young and you grow up.
Starting point is 00:24:04 doing it. I used to skate like almost every Friday night. Did you? Where I grew up in New York, in Portchester, New York, Rye, New York is where the Rangers at Playland is like this little amusement park that had an ice skating rink. Yeah. They used to, the, the Rangers used to practice there. Like, and I believe, like, I have to ask my dad, I believe that before they used to do free skate, the Rangers, like, when Wayne Gretzky was on the team, like, he, they used to be practicing. and like everyone like there would be a bunch of kids waiting for like Friday night they put the little disco lights on Wayne Gretsky was on the Rangers absolutely yeah and like like they all would be there walking out like
Starting point is 00:24:46 before they would clean it and let everyone else go for free skate what's Gretzky most known for is he most known to be a king or it's an oilers right although I bet how he ran into him when he was in LA right I didn't run into him in LA I've ran into a couple times other places. He's definitely the oil. We're going to talk about basketball a little bit. You ran into a lot of basketball players, though, right? Like, because you were there during the showtime Lakers. Yeah, Magic Kareem.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Mostly those, I think those two guys, didn't meet a lot of basketball players. Isaiah Thomas, the Pistons team, because when they played the Lakers, Isaiah was hurt. and a couple of guys were hurt and they needed, you know, more intense treatment and they came over to the Raiders
Starting point is 00:25:40 and got treatment over there for a lot. Raiders and the pistons, that probably get along. Yeah. Yeah, it seemed that way. You know, I mean, I don't think it endeared us to the Lakers at that time, but, you know, magic was cool. Kareem was always, you know, really nice.
Starting point is 00:25:57 They were great at the time. The Celtics and the Lakers were kind of it and Detroit was big in basketball at that time. So with Wem-Manyama, and you know who that is, right? The big Frenchman. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You see San Antonio won the lottery, which feels like cheating. You know, they take a couple years off and Greg doesn't leave
Starting point is 00:26:15 and now he gets another international star. And also Frenchmen, and you pointed this out earlier, Matt, with Tony Parker. Boris Diao, so they've had some French dudes. You could see when Boniana was super happy to be going to say. I read an article where they said the worries from they were also pulling for the Senate. Yeah, probably because of Tony Parker. Yeah, they didn't want to say it publicly before, of course, because, like, you weren't sure what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:26:43 But when the Rockets got announced as the number four pick, when Manjana did like a fist clutch, you know, happy not to go to Houston. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so we went to a Spurs game one time with Charlie Sheen. Yeah, Frank. Yeah, tell me about that. You know, Frank.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Frank had a... Yeah, I was there. I was a little kid. Frank had a relationship. Frank Bertowski. Yeah. And Charlie was... Charlie and Frank were good friends,
Starting point is 00:27:09 and they had a ranch together in Montana on the Swan River. Matter of fact, it's one of those properties where, if you held on to it. Yeah. You know, he bought it for $10 then. It's worth $100 now. And they had almost, I think, three miles of Swan River frontage, which... is unheard of. And you got a Charlie Sheen Buffalo?
Starting point is 00:27:33 Yeah. Matter of fact, Frank had said to me, because I don't think Charlie ever spent a lot of time up there. So I think it became a situation where Charlie just wanted to offload his share, and Frank ended up keeping it for a bit and then sold it off.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And Charlie had this, you know, bison that he'd shot. And it's in my library now. That's crazy. Still in my library, that big old bison head. We got a Charlie Sheem buffalo. Yeah. I think I'd pay 500 bucks for you.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Were you friends with any other actors? Not that you were friends with Charlie Sheen, but glad you weren't. No, no, I really, uh... It's just, you know, like, I just hang out with Charlie Sheen all the time. Like, he wasn't. My experiences with Charlie were all good. Right, yeah, yeah. I met Mel Gibson when I was playing.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I'm trying to think of who else. Really meet a lot of guys. Yeah, you can get your... get out as much. All right. So if you could, if you're like, say the NFL had a lottery and your son was the top pick and you knew, hey, like whoever draws that lottery ball is going to be where your son plays for the next five, 10 years, what organization are you hoping picks that lottery ball? Who can't tell you what position the kid plays. It's just about stability, coaching. Well, you look at stability and you see.
Starting point is 00:28:59 say well new England Pittsburgh you know teams that are are you know winners on a on a regular basis now Seattle's kind of have a that somewhat of a rebirth with Pete up there and they've had a good draft last year and again this year it looks like they'll be coming back up to the top I've always liked Pete Bill has always been fascinating to me and I think you know you through osmosis you're just going to learn so much about football when you're there You know, but it's not necessarily the best place for you. Let's say your skill set is here. They might ask you to be here one week, here one week, here one week,
Starting point is 00:29:40 and back at the place that's probably your best spot. Yeah. Mike Tomlin is a guy that I've always liked and would think it would be fun to play there. Andy Reed, another guy I like a lot. That actually happened. Yeah. Yeah, Kyle played.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Yeah, I really would, you know, I'd say those would be the top. Yeah, those are the guys you trust with your kids. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of guys you could probably trust with your kids. Just a question of, what are we talking about? Are we talking about trust? Are we talking about best coaching? We're talking about best opportunity to win? You know, because at the end of the day, you know, it's kind of like the decision you had to make when you left St. Louis
Starting point is 00:30:22 or, you know, when you left New England, you're playing to win. Yeah. Particularly at that point in your career.

Head on over to Oakley.com, O-A-K-L-E-Y, for more information today. So the schedule came out last week. Now, the first thing I want to do is do you know that NFL teams do these schedule release videos yet?
Starting point is 00:32:29 Have you seen these? No. Yes, so he's not real online. And I'm jealous of that, but like the Chargers have been this, they've been out in the forefront of when the schedule release drops, they do this annual video. It's like an animation that every week that, you know, there's some theme deal from the team they're playing.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Okay. So we were going to show you this video and get your reaction. I know there's going to be some questions. There's going to be, okay, so week one, charges dolphins. Do you get that? Yeah. Pause it. Week one, we've got Mike McDaniel blowing smoke out of his.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Do you get that? Oh, yeah. Did you see that whole thing? Yeah, on your show. Oh, from my show. Kyle. Yeah. Kyle said something about, I think he's vaping on the sideline.
Starting point is 00:33:18 I was like, oh, Kyle, don't say that. That's what it looks like. Yeah, I know. And that play, that game they had when they knocked the chargers out. It was a great game, but that was a night when we were having our final dinner of the, you know, that we were going to be in L.A. before the Super Bowl. And Jimmy was kind of going back and forth on whether he wanted to retire. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:46 It was kind of a pseudo-retirement dinner. Jimmy? But then he kind of made the decision at the end of the dinner, you know, and we all had these notes and we were going to, you know, talk about it. But Jimmy was going to retire? Well, he's still, you know, I mean, he's still up in the air. I mean, listen, Jimmy's 80 years old. He lives in the Keys. He's got to drive two hours up to...
Starting point is 00:34:06 Yeah, why would you do it? Miami and you fly across the country. I mean, what he's been doing is he's been coming in on double-headed weeks where we have the late game nationally. And when he doesn't, when it's not a double-heder, he doesn't come in. And last year, it was Sean Payton. He kind of did the Albert Brooks thing with a fake funeral. You know, on Kirby Enthusiasm, Albert Brooks has a fake funeral.
Starting point is 00:34:27 And John Hamm does the whole eulogy. he's up in his bedroom and he's watching on video seeing all the nice things people say about him. That's what Jimmy almost had happened. That's, yeah. As the dinner went on, it became less, as with each drink, it became less and less about a retirement dinner and just, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:48 yeah, I'm going to come back. That's great. Play the video. We're a week two. Chargers Titans. Okay, Derek Henry's a robot. That's it? They didn't take a shot at Derek Henry.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Have you seen him work out? Week three, the Vikings. You got Kirk Cousins with a chain. Week four, you get that? So they had a slot machine with a few teams on it. Yeah. Or a few quarterbacks on it, and the Raiders could only get Garoppolo. You know, I'll get into the Raiders.
Starting point is 00:35:21 No, go ahead. We'll talk about them right now. You know, from what I hear, you know, Josh McGahnier went down to see Jimmy before the drive. and they went over the draft in great lengths. And you know, coaches do that. They go down there and they go out fishing with Jimmy. And Jimmy, you know, he's the voice of God.
Starting point is 00:35:39 He's, you know, like when he has Hutton talks, you listen, you know, and he's certainly that. He was impressed. He was impressed with, listen, the guy you were, or you were at 24 is not the guy you are now. And hopefully you learn something along the way. You know, it's like I said, life's like two elevators. You know, your physical elevators here in the beginning, your mental elevators here.
Starting point is 00:36:05 And they both go in opposite directions. You kind of hit your peak at some point, but then by the time you figure it all out, you can't do a damn thing about it because your physical elevators in the... Exactly how I feel right now. Right. And I think, hopefully, for Josh McDaniel and, you know, the GM that came from the Patriots, who, you know, people hold in high regard, they like Garoppolo. They think Garabolo fits the team better. Garabolo knows the offense inside and out. He's a worker.
Starting point is 00:36:36 From what I hear, the players love him. I mean, you know, this is the kind of talk you get in the offseason, and you're going to hear that from a lot of teams, but I genuinely think they feel like he's not the guy, but he's the guy to get them to the guy. And, you know, listen, they've got very capable. receivers there, very capable, you know, skilled people. They've added more pass rush. They probably need offensive line help, that's for sure. And I'm sure that'll get dialed in.
Starting point is 00:37:10 The Devante Adams thing, you know, this week he was like, listen to me in the front office aren't on the same page, but I'm going to keep working and yada, yada, yada. Do you feel bad for? We said they weren't on the same page? Yeah, and I, you know, I think it's probably inferred that they're talking about the planet quarterback. Was he hoping for Rogers? I'm sure he was hoping for Rogers. Yeah. You know, and part of it is, to me, another thing he said this week is, hey, I'm also certified.
Starting point is 00:37:40 I was all pro again without Aaron, you know, so, you know, I hope people take note of that. I agree there. I totally agree. I mean, he's a great player. I mean, he might be the best receiver in the league. but also like you know I hope that Devante Adams because I like watching him so much doesn't let the frustration get to him because you know last year you saw it like he's not the type of guy to push over a camera guy it's just it was one of those years and it's a weird deal though
Starting point is 00:38:10 you know yeah it was a weird deal I tell you when I'm in that kind of when you're in that mode you don't know you don't know and there's a guy that's running by running by you on the road in front of you I don't know but the point I don't think that's He's not that guy. The point being is not that guy. And that was not his best moment. He's not his worst moment. But here's this great player.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Like, don't let this situation get you down. Like continue to prove to people that you can be great with whoever's playing quarterback. And that's the way, you know, as an athlete, I'd look at it. But I also understand that he probably feels he's leaving a lot of money and a lot of production on the table because he's not playing with the top 10 quarterback. Jimmy G is like a fringy guy who I really like and respect. but yeah, I get DeVante's frustration. You think you're going there with Aaron Rogers, possibly a year ago.
Starting point is 00:38:59 And on the other end of things like there's this, you saw what happened in Green Bay this offseason? Maybe it'd be different if Rodgers was, if Adams was still there, but this is why you leave Green Bay because now it's a fucking mushroom cloud. Yeah, and I think a lot of things went into that. I mean, you know, depending on where, you know, speculation and reality sits, did Aaron do enough to try to keep him around? I don't know. Did he call? Did he fly out there to see him?
Starting point is 00:39:27 You know, I certainly, if I were around and I know I'm coming back. And the problem was, Devante didn't know whether I think Aaron was coming back. Is he there for a year? Right. If he's only there for a year, I'm going to sign an extension, a long-term deal. Yeah. And only Green Bay was, God knows who. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:42 I mean, listen, Green Bay is, it's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of, experience if you're a football fan to go to Green Bay. But was it in 1989 as a player? You know what I mean? That's my point. That's the thing is like they've been blessed with great quarterback play. Yeah, and they say the field is heated. They have coils.
Starting point is 00:40:02 That's bull. Trust me. And also it's, you know, a month off the heels of them losing, them trading Darren Waller. Right? So that's another piece that, you know, the defense had to look at. And Devante Adams, you know, doesn't have that, you know, security. that the defense has to pay to him as well. And so part of me wonders, Reed, if, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:40:24 it's not so much just the quarterback, but it's, you know, he's thinking about it and saying, like, I've seen our plan, and it's not to win now. And it's frustrating to me. Like, that's a possibility. I'm not sure if that's their viewpoint that, you know, I think they believe they're in a win now kind of, you know, stage.
Starting point is 00:40:48 The question is, can you be patient in how they're doing it? Right. Does that mean you're rebuilding? No. I've heard conflicting reports. They reached out to the Packers about Aaron Rogers or whatever. They did or they didn't.
Starting point is 00:41:01 But here's a thing. That head coach, Josh is not going to change his offense. He's not going to change the entire system that he carried through it, Tom Brady and had all that success to bring in Aaron Rogers for a year or two. And then go back to that system again
Starting point is 00:41:21 two years later. It just doesn't make any sense. Because then you have to reteach the whole system to everybody on the office. Okay, run week five. It's a buy. Week six, Dak, they have Dak reading a tweet from the Dallas Cowboys basically saying that he's the reason they didn't win a game when Jerry threw Dak under the bus and they threw it up on their social media page. So the account basically took the side of the owner in that situation and threw back on the bus and so you have the content team running a bus yeah is it and down yeah yeah you know Jerry Jerry that's a tight run group yeah week seven they play the Chiefs now do you get this an ankle monitor yep chief super
Starting point is 00:42:07 fan who is known to wear this wolf costume to hype the fans in the crowd up supposedly on his way to games last year he was actively robbing banks in his costume and then using that money to bet and to go to games. Tell you what, can we get the rights to that movie? Yeah. And who's gonna start? A great movie. That's a great movie.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Yeah. You didn't hear about that though. No. Not online. And now he's like, he's like super like fan like super famous like I guess online famous. He's going to be famous in the joint. Yeah, like, yeah, I don't know how long he has to do, but I'm sure. He'll show up later in this video.
Starting point is 00:42:50 You'll see him again. Week 8. Oh, yeah, he snapped. You've got the Chargers and the Bears. I don't know, Fields is a little bear. Bill DeBarre. Aaron Rogers. New York.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Yeah, that's going to be fascinating. You see that billboard there on the Aaron Rogers? No, what did it say? The single cougars in your area. Oh, because Zach Wilson. Did you hear about the Zach Wilson thing? Yeah You don't want to talk about it though
Starting point is 00:43:15 No New York There's that other New York Jack Exchange Yep That's so funny Week 9 there's Mina
Starting point is 00:43:25 Joe Kleco going in the Hall of Fame Oh yeah Do you get this Gambling problem So week 10 Chargers Lions You see this gambling Hotline
Starting point is 00:43:33 Helpline Oh my God Right how about this stuff Now this is the Chargers Yeah I wonder what the league thinks about that. I don't know. The league kind of, you know, listen, they're social media team.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Yeah, I know, but they control everything. They take a lot of shots here, the Chargers do. W. Social Media team. I love this. Keep going. I guess it's California, you know. Yeah, you do it. Out there, sun shining.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Week 11. Chargers. Dark room for Aaron Rogers. Darkness retreat? Yeah. You heard about the darkness retreat. Yeah, and I'm glad you brought that up. I don't know Aaron personally.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Yeah. You know, your mom says she met him once and he was really nice. He was really nice. I've met him a few times. He's a great guy. He's probably a good guy. He's a little out there and that's okay. You know, we've all played with guys who are a little bit out there. For whatever reason, I mean, he feeds off of it.
Starting point is 00:44:35 And I think we have a hard time separating church and state with him. He is an all-time great. What he does with a football is ridiculous. He's an amazing player. Talking about a three, four-time MVP. Come on. I mean, people can't separate that. They're so fixated on, listen, I didn't agree with his position on, you know, on, you know, the vaccine and, you know, for a number of reasons.
Starting point is 00:45:08 One is, listen, if it's you and it's just you and you're worried about yourself and that's fine. But when you're in a locker room with older coaches and some people could be, you know, getting treatments for this or that. Privately, yeah. An underlying condition and you're possibly putting someone at jeopardy. I just think for the greater good, it's, you know, please, I get that you're, you want to stand on the soapbox with that. And the other thing was, and from a football standpoint, you've got all these young wide receivers. And, you know, unlike defensive linemen, I mean, we can get together and work out.
Starting point is 00:45:44 But we don't have to do the mesh points on our bump easies and, you know, pick tough to get on the same page with those young receivers. And we saw it happen throughout the course of the year. And it happened the way you think it would happen for a group that wasn't together in the off season. It slowly kind of ran its course and they got better and better. And they kind of hit their stride towards the end of the season. And they don't have that luxury in the year. York, which is why I know that pushing that trade through early enough was so important, because Green Bay could have sat on that thing until August or September. And, you know, at that
Starting point is 00:46:19 point, I don't know if you make a trade for a guy like that on a possibly one-year rental, because every game's so important, you're playing the best division in football. The way the jets start their schedule, we're going to talk about the schedule on a minute, is brutal. So they have to be on the same page quickly. How long would you last in a dark room? I don't know it's not totally dark is it yeah it's pretty dark okay so they have the raven's mascot in a wheelchair
Starting point is 00:46:43 did you see that last year oh yeah it blew a blue an ACL yeah yeah yeah did you see the mascots from Arizona and Arizona State getting the fight no legit pull it up from last year yeah because it was a week before we had gronk on yeah and the the Arizona mascot got
Starting point is 00:47:00 you know he took it overhand right and well because Arizona State is is the state school. They're a little bit tougher. Is it? Yeah, that's usually how it works. Like with Virginia and Virginia. Well, Grunks.
Starting point is 00:47:12 So they got in the real fight. Yeah, they were throwing. Look at them. Look at them. Oh. They were throwing. Does that even hurt? No, he ends up going down.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Does that even hurt, though? I mean, you got the, oh, they separate them. Oh. Yeah. Got them with the overhand right. You got to go uppercut. Get the head off.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Now, they have boxing gloves. So this is real and it's sanction. I think it's sanctioned. I don't think this was like, you know. He was, he, that didn't look like an exhibition. No, I didn't. The kid from Arizona, Arizona State was throwing haymakers. Okay, Bill on the Iron Throne.
Starting point is 00:47:48 That's a really like, I'm not going to take a shot at Bill. Yeah. But possibly that he could be on the way out. It would be on the way out, but also all those camera angles. Yeah. I think that's a callback to a couple years ago when they had that video camera in the booth. Yeah. See, Reed, you're.
Starting point is 00:48:04 More online than me. Are you talking about SpyGate? Yeah, yeah, SpyGate. When they had that camera, I think it was the bills, they had that camera set up shooting down at the practice. So there's a good time to ask you, because Aaron Judge is in the news for possibly cheating because he's looking at the dugout between,
Starting point is 00:48:21 back in the day, was there any, like, on the line stuff in the NFL where guys would get away with shit? I mean, obviously besides performance and enhancing drugs, but, like, you had the Stickham guy. I was just about to say stick. Yeah, but that wasn't illegal. It wasn't.
Starting point is 00:48:37 No. No. Freddie Blithecov, Luster Hayes. That wasn't illegal. What about stealing the other team's water bottles? Is that? Oh, I took one water bottle. And it's like it gets blown out of proportion.
Starting point is 00:48:51 I was like, you know, it was one of those games where, you know, it was kind of like a ram game where, you know, we're whipping you just defensively. We're whipping you or we're down 14 to 7. And you scored 14 of your points on, you know, you turned our offense over at the seven-yard line and, you know, you blocked a kick or whatever. An interception for a touchdown and you've done nothing. And I was young and dumb. You know, you do those things. And so you walked into the other huddle and took their water. Yeah, it took a water bottle.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Yeah, it's not cheating, but might be a code break. No, yeah. But that was fun. When I played, my thing was to take Old Lyman's towels, mostly the center, because it's usually the core. quarterback towel that he needs to wipe it's like your good pitch so it's just like it's just petty enough like if you take it and then if it's like a I wouldn't even play with that
Starting point is 00:49:40 I mean that's that there's the ramifications that the ripple effect of that is it's not just the center could be getting high load it's a quarterback it's a fumbled handoff an interception because you didn't get to wipe his hand let's go week 14 charges Broncos this is where I think the Pokemon shows up yeah that's SpongeBob
Starting point is 00:49:59 why is SpongeBob who is that supposed to to be the, that's Patrick from SpongeBob. I don't understand why Russell has a spatula. Because he's SpongeBob Squirtpants? No, I don't know. Is that what there's?
Starting point is 00:50:14 It's a callback to earlier last season Christmas Day when it was one of those broadcast games, the Nickelodeon broadcast games, and Russell threw a pick with Patrick Star he was like in the picture in the lower three. Yeah, I do remember
Starting point is 00:50:30 that. Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't happen. That year went as bad as a year could go there. It'll turn around this year. I believe in Sean. You will see Sean's fingerprints all over this whole thing. Yeah. He doesn't play around.
Starting point is 00:50:46 You think he'll trade for Taysam Hill? Probably give up everything. They already traded for one St. I know he loves Taysam Hill. Loves them. And he loves the running back. He loves both those guys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:59 So week 15. Chargers Raiders, Fantasy Valchrist. Oh, KC. Wolf again, getting chased by the police. And you get, is that Pat McAfee? Because Pat McAfee got the Chiefs O'Holic. How about him getting the ESPN deal? I'm confused by that a little bit. I read where he's...
Starting point is 00:51:19 Basically, they bought him out of draft kings or whatever. He's going to do his own show. Yeah, I guess his show is going to change a little bit. It's going to be on YouTube, on the ESP. It's got to change a lot, I think. According to them, it's not going to change. I'm not going to. He retains all creativity.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Hey, if you still want to hear a fuck and you, you like to patch show, but maybe you need a new show, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Basically, they've done this two-hour live show every morning during the fall season. And now they try to pick up that's crumbs, but yeah, fuck. No, I'm not doing that. Okay. What they need to do with the charges, get it figured out on the field. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Listen, if I got a quarterback like that, figure it out. I got talent like that. Figure it out. Figure it out, man. That was only the second best release. You want to show them the other one? I think so.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Show them the other one. St. Louis Rams. Oh. Liza McQueen. Oh, that's just the football. That's just the football logo. The Boston Bobcats, no idea.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Wow. Yeah, right? Wouldn't you think more people would... They obviously just picked the worst answers. This one is the red stallion. That's a bird lady. 49ers, 49ers, she says. 49 to she did... Oh my good, dealers. It's a pirates!
Starting point is 00:52:54 Of the Caribbean. Chester Cheeto. Yeah, they definitely get the worst ones. Tigers. North Carolina Tigers. Pretty close. That's the exception to the rule. That's the Cowboys.
Starting point is 00:53:14 That's the Cowboys. Texas. It's got that. Oh my God. Atlanta. Florida. Florida Dolphins. Hey, we're close.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Oh, Texans. Texans? Hey. Eagle, Eagles, Eagles. Houston. Um. Hesper. And it's the Seahawks.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Who's that? Bulls? Who? Patriots? That's a Patriots logo. Wow. Don't I'm... That actually does not exist.
Starting point is 00:53:50 That is MASH. Tennessee Titans. Titans. Okay, good. So they know the Titans. So the schedule's out in, you know, these videos are... I had no idea to even exist. They're doing this stuff.

We're going to be doing what we've been doing all fall every Thursday at 430 on amp. Check us out. We just talked about the Chargers. I want to talk about some of the biggest games this season, but also some stuff we saw with the schedule.
Starting point is 00:55:46 And I know we're like a week late, but maybe that'll help us because you got so tired of hearing about it last week. But like the Chargers kind of got fucked here. No home stands, no consecutive home games, the entire season. And then they're week five by. So they get the earliest possible buy. I have no consecutive home stands. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Yeah, that is bad. You know, like the Jets, we talked about that earlier. They open with the bills on Monday night football. They get Dallas on a short week. They go Pats and then Kansas City. And, you know, like looking ahead to a Jets Patriots game Week 18, that is like, mark my words, there's going to be a lot on the line there. And the Pats might be out of it, but that is a perfect spoiler spot for Bill.
Starting point is 00:56:30 You know, he hates the Jets. I, you know, I think they're going to, it's going to be a different year. They'll be better, but their schedule is tough. Yeah, I get it. I like their defense. Bill O'Brien, you know, and everyone you talk to says the same thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Bill O'Brien will bring stability to their offense and they'll get more productivity. Quarterback will be better. You won't see the, it just, it was mind boggling last year. Yeah. And like, you know, you talk about teams that got tough draws.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I mean, Jacksonville is going to be in London two weeks in a row. Now, if you're going to play twice in London, you might as well do it in a row. Yeah, but you don't get a, they don't get a buy. They don't get a buy. They have to play the next week, and then they get a short week, two weeks after they get back from London. So Jacksonville kind of got screwed over a little bit.
Starting point is 00:57:21 They're used to. They're there every year. They're the team that most people in London are excited about. That's their home team in London. They call them the Jaguars? Jaguars. Right? Yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 00:57:34 So this is something good to see the Bears have four prime time games. So Chicago is going to get four. four prime time games. Detroit. That kid's electric. Yeah, he is. And Detroit, I mean, the Lions have four prime time games as well. So some of these franchises in the NFC North that you barely ever see on Sunday or Monday night.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Dan Campbell's still the number one guy in the lock him in a room, five minutes with another coach. He's coming out. Oh, yeah, he's coming out. Yeah, no question. I mean, Rabel's close, but I just... Rable, you know what? Wrestler.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Yeah, dude. Yeah. Well, the wrestler thing kind of scares me. It might be brave. Brave, I could prick you, Rayble, will throw it a cigarette off. Yeah. And just,
Starting point is 00:58:17 and just making mince me to somebody. They did that workout video in the Titans, just him just getting dudes on the sleds, just pushing the plowler. Now, I love the prowler. I didn't think that looked that hard. And any time, you know, social media team can walk up to guys mid-workout,
Starting point is 00:58:33 and they're like, oh, man, this is hard. Yeah, yeah. You know, like, if it's fucking difficult, like, they're not going to be able to talk. What's a prowler? You know, the sled that you push, it's got two poles on and you put weights on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Yeah, I trained you on that. Yeah, the prowler sled. Prouler sled is a great workout. It's a great. It's like, it's like sushi sticks. Yeah. Chop sticks. Further you go.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Yeah, yeah. It picks the weight up. Yep, yep. Oh, you're thinking about the leverage sled. You thinking about leverage sled? No, you drive it. Yeah, you drive it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:05 So, so, yeah, I mean, like, the Lions, not just four primetime games, one of the games I'm most excited about, is week one, it's Lions Chiefs. And, you know, like, I hate to be chalky, but I want to see how far this team's come. You know, they play, you know, down the stretch, they were on fire.
Starting point is 00:59:23 We talked to Dan Campbell about that on the pod last week. How do you carry that momentum over? Well, like, here's an opportunity right out of the gate. And it's easier to play in Kansas City week one than it is week 14. Like the scene in Kansas City, I mean, I can remember we opened there when we won the Super Bowl. And, you know, it was a wild atmosphere, the whole thing. But, like, when it really gets cold and it gets into crunch time, that's when it's really tough there.
Starting point is 00:59:48 It will be hot, and the lions are going to have a lot of pressure on them. It's hot. It's fucking hot in Kansas City or St. Louis. I played in a number of hot games there. When it's hot there, it's hot there. Yeah, because you're breathing in the humidity. And then played in one of the, it was a freezing rain where your teeth are chattering in the huddle. It's worse than playing in 15 below and dry.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Did you sleeve up? Oh, God, yeah. The whole thing of you're not tough if you sleeve up, well, kick my ass then. Make your move, man. Nothing between us, but there and opportunity. Yeah, exactly. I mean, that's going to be a great game.
Starting point is 01:00:24 I think week one coming off the, listen, they just won the Super Bowl. That place is going to be rocking. You're right, because they're going to hang the banners. But that's going to be a great test. I mean, early on, you got Jets, Cowboys, Week 2, Rogers and McCarthy. I'm looking at Seahawks, Bangle's week six.
Starting point is 01:00:39 I think that'll be a lot of fun. I love watching those two teams. I'll be really fascinated to see how much of a jump Seattle makes. They've had two great drafts. Well, they have two great drafts. The personnel is getting better. They're more confident, but the whole question is going to be,
Starting point is 01:00:55 can Gino just build on that, or was that like an anomaly? I think Gino's the perfect guy to run the style of offense, that, you know, Pete wants to run. And he threw great balls last year. It wasn't just some, you know, like he was the product of that system. And then they add another wide receiver in the draft, Jackson Smith and Jigba.
Starting point is 01:01:16 So they're going to have some really good players up there for him to throw the ball to. Dolphins Eagles, a lot of great skill players on the field for that game, week seven, in Philly. Bill's Bengals, week nine. You get Sauce and Devonte, week 10, Garoppolo Rogers' revenge game because Garoppolo beat Rogers the last time they played. There's not a lot of good. You talk about sauce, and it's interesting because, you know, when we played, we had Mike Keynes and Lester Hayes, and they were two totally different guys. Mike Haynes was like he was a mimic.
Starting point is 01:01:47 He did everything you did. You could throw the, you know, the double move. It doesn't matter. Mike just mirrored everything you did and never looked like he was working hard at all. Yeah. And he was tall and long. Lester was he's rolling craps
Starting point is 01:02:06 He was just physical bump and run And converted linebacker from Texas A&M to a corner I didn't know he was a linebacker Yeah Yeah You wouldn't think so because Lester said You look 7583
Starting point is 01:02:20 Play that run over here Because I'm not playing it Yeah But you know This kid's you talk about Shut down corners That's hard to do in today's game Yeah
Starting point is 01:02:30 You're in subpacking all the time, a bunch receivers, the picks, everything else, smokescreens, the whole thing. Sauce Gardner is that guy. Yeah, he's him. He's him. Oh, wow. We just did a I'm him draft yesterday. You know what I'm him means?
Starting point is 01:02:48 No. Oh. It's a good thing. Yeah, so basically it's like kids these days say like, you know, if somebody has a big moment where it's like evident that they're the guy. Yeah. Like in sports. Oh, they say I'm him?
Starting point is 01:03:02 It's an I'm him moment. What's the biggest I'm him moment you ever saw? Was this something Bo Jackson related? Bo didn't have to say I'm him. I'm telling you, I tell people this all the time. I mean, I would sit in my helmet on offensive day. We had a mini period. I think offensive day was Wednesday, defensive day was Thursday,
Starting point is 01:03:27 or maybe it was flipped. I don't know. But whatever it was when I was. when I would just go in and do a couple of reps just to, you know, bail out the backup guys who were doing, you know, look team. But I'd send on my helmet and Boak came in, you know, it was a, it had never happened before where a guy comes in the middle of the season from baseball. He puts on pads. And, you know, a lot of people say freak show, you know, and there's a small, you know, a small list of guys.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Barry Sanders, Dion Sanders, LT, where you could lock them in a room for six months. They come out of the room without a workout or anything. You're saying. And be the guy. He, at that size and that speed,
Starting point is 01:04:26 and you know, the, level he had turning the corner. He's the only guy I've ever played with, we ran a one-man reverse, where we literally, he counter-actioned on a full sprint, three, four steps,
Starting point is 01:04:42 and then turned himself. And it was a one man, and the backside tackle would go to cut off, cut off, and peel back. And the entire state, and I think it was in New Orleans, went, you could hear everyone just breathe
Starting point is 01:04:56 because they'd never seen anything move like that. It was like the first time I saw Willie Galt run on a rurice. I was like, I can't catch him. Yeah. You know, I'm, I'm on the front side of the reverse. I can't catch him. Who's going to catch him? Yeah. You know, but this is a guy 234 pounds runs a 418 and, and his pad levels down to here. And he's looking for, hey, and he's looking for contact. He's looking for con. He was trucking people. Do you remember the buildup with the matchup with him and Bosworth? Because that's something that's like mythologized now like the younger generation here's who's the fullback on that play on the big run up and see i don't don't don't go to your laptop i do not know
Starting point is 01:05:37 how the fuck are we going to know marcus allen was oh yeah yeah he did play fullback okay marcus allen was the full back wow on that on that long run to be fair to bryan bosworth it was a bad angle and you know it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be and you know it's there were far more impressive things that I saw Bo do. Just walking off the street and run for 200 yards. I mean, just amazing player. Yeah, you know, Bo has had the hiccups for a year. I know.
Starting point is 01:06:10 I would think about calling. I need to call him. Yeah, tell him about peanut butter. Oh, I will. I mean, not that he's probably tried peanut butter. I don't know. He's probably tried. I've never heard this before.
Starting point is 01:06:21 When you have hiccups, you just eat a spoonful of peanut butter. I had hiccups the other night. Heacups. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We say he cup in Boston.
Starting point is 01:06:32 Yeah. I'd be confused with she cups. What is that? Hecups. The peanut butter for hiccups probably smells a little bit better than the porcupine anus. What, would you do that? Well, that's what?
Starting point is 01:06:47 What? Bo had to do what? He tried everything, including smelling a porcupine's ass is like a homeopathic. That's what? That's what he said. That's somewhere down there by all. That's some country shit. That's somewhere down there by Aubrey.
Starting point is 01:07:00 I tried. He goes, I tried everything. I tried smoking of porcupines ass. That's funny. I imagine some guy that they're like, what are you doing? He's like,
Starting point is 01:07:08 oh, trying to get rid of my hiccough. Trying to get rid of my fucking hiccups, man. Give me that. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. That works. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:07:15 there's a few more. I mean, like, Ken's City and Miami. I talked about Jacksonville, spending two weeks in London. Ken City and Miami in Munich is going to be awesome. You got your two indoor. Thanksgiving games. They've taken some
Starting point is 01:07:26 really good games to put them in Europe. Yeah, the Tampa, Seattle game last year was great. You know, so you got two indoor games on Thanksgiving. You got one outdoor game, San Francisco, Seattle, thank the Lord. But no natural grass. NFL keeps fucking it up. You've got a game the next day now
Starting point is 01:07:42 too, Jets Dolphins on the Black Friday. Yeah. Which is good because when you're when you're, what are you doing on Friday? I'm not going to Best Buy and getting trampled over a fucking phone. Do you think NFL Do you think they would do like a streaming deal on Black Friday since it's so expensive for for you think by time then late that late in the season though like I don't think they're going to roll out streaming on short notice But that's going to be interesting because I feel like that's good that's a really good niche and they're filling every Crack and crevice they can with football everything else goes like this. Yeah
Starting point is 01:08:17 Yeah, it's on a It's on a good investment That's when they like the schedule release videos Just keeps them in the news. Yep. Baltimore plays one playoff team in the first eight weeks. So that's a nice edge there. Bill's two big.
Starting point is 01:08:32 They're another well-run. You might, yeah, you might trust the. And they'll be good. Bill's two biggest games, they have big rest advantages. They have a buy before the Chiefs,
Starting point is 01:08:42 a mini buy before the Bengals. So that's really big. And another elite team that, you know, I've told we talk about too much on this pod. The people that crack me up are the people under the socials when they happen to be about the Eagles. Like,
Starting point is 01:08:53 I would listen to this pot. if you all talked about anything like the Eagles. I've been here a fucking hour. I haven't said a word about the Eagles. But here's the Eagles schedule layout. The second half of their season is a gauntlet. Look at it starting week 10. They play seven out of eight weeks against playoff teams from last year.
Starting point is 01:09:14 They're at the Chiefs on Monday Night Football. They get the bills at the Eagles the next week and then the 49ers at the Eagles. Three weeks in a row, you've got really elite teams, one on the United States. the road on Monday night and that's when Kansas City is really in my opinion going to be just like off the chain. I'll tell you what they, I'll tell you what they do, you know this better than anyone. What they do that is so unique in Philadelphia is, and I haven't seen it. Scout Georgia? No. Well, yeah. They, and listen, you know, if that kid, if that kid is, if he's got his mind right and he's ready to go,
Starting point is 01:09:54 and I'm sure that room will be good for him and that offensive line will be good for him. I think the coach will be good for him. I think, you know, being around five players from Georgia, I think it is, we'll be good for him. But that offensive line, this places people, it's like a, it's almost, I've never seen anything like it only in college
Starting point is 01:10:17 where, you know, you get a college team who's playing a team that they're paying to come down in week two to be their homecoming game. You know, I mean, they physically beat people up. And in a game where we're in sub packages all the time. And you think about it as a defensive lineman, all these guys want to do now is they want to run up to field,
Starting point is 01:10:37 run up the field, run up the field. It's about the numbers. It's about the numbers. And that's a week where you just got to say, I got to buckle my shit up. Yeah, and the quarterback's stuff to tackle. Yes. And they're going to do it 40 times.
Starting point is 01:10:49 It's like I just did this thing. Terry and I did a thing up with Joe Gibbs. Joe came up with that scheme to really kind of attack Lawrence Taylor, to try to figure out a way to stop Lawrence Taylor. And it was a two, three, tight end offense. And they ran counter 66, counter 67, 35 times a game. And you just, you know, it's kind of like Jimmy's Cowboys ran lead Jokero out of near eye and far eye, and they ISOed the inside backer and double team the defensive tackle.
Starting point is 01:11:21 You might play it the first eight times, but the 9th, 10th, 11th, fall, 15, 18, 20, 21, 22. You're going to start kind of taking the knee quick or stepping out of the way a little bit. Moose Johnson, I mean, they should, Jimmy should be locked up for, you know, jamming Moose's neck down by his waist. I mean, he ran more lead, Joe Rose. He's got to send our phone booth. And Moose is doing a great job in the NFL too. He's great. He's a smart guy.
Starting point is 01:11:51 Yeah. I mean, the Eagles, you know, they're built for the run, like you said, but that's a really tough second half of the season. They also have to go to Seattle as well, week 15, I think it is. So, you know, there's a lot of games here that I'm excited about, you know, the Chargers at Pats, you know, like Chargers beating the Pats has proved hard for Justin Herbert. Like, can, how big of a step has he taken? Can they figure it out on the field? That would be a really good Barometer. Whether or not they're in it at the end of the season.
Starting point is 01:12:22 New coordinator in Dallas. Had to happen. What's that going to look like? What's going to look like for the Chargers? Yeah. You're missing the most important game. What's that? The Super Bowl.
Starting point is 01:12:31 Yeah. Because it's in Vegas. And I'm just interested. What are those tickets? Yeah, I'm interested in a lot of stuff. I bet you are. Well, mainly for me is all these rules and guys getting suspended for betting or being associated with casinos or whatever it may be.
Starting point is 01:12:48 I don't understand how you're going to run a Super Bowl there. It's a nightmare for the NFL. It's going to, like, for players, like, I can just imagine how many players you're out there for a full week, party in. If you slip up and accept and be on the wrong flyer for a party or things, anything, like anything. Place a bet on another sport in the parking lot of the win. Think about how many guys, appearance deals. You don't understand. Someone might book you here.
Starting point is 01:13:14 Oh, they're going to give you 50K to show up here. And then you find out, oh, it's from this betting company. And someone finds out. So it's going to be real, really interesting. Luckily, we don't have to worry about that because we're washed up. We can do whatever we want. Whatever we want. And we will be there.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Unlike the, you know, listen, the A's are going there now. Yeah. I mean, it's hockey. It's baseball. It's football. Basketball soon going to follow. The advantage that a team has that's living there. And, you know, there are facilities in Henderson.
Starting point is 01:13:45 And like the majority. of the population around Vegas, they really don't go to down. Yeah, yeah. You know, so I think that's going to be a big challenge, and I think the teams are going to have to do a really, really, really good job. Education.
Starting point is 01:13:59 Yeah, letting each play. Look, it's kind of like you say you have a problem. Like, I remember our 81 team that won the Super Bowl, I came in in 81 later that year as a rookie, and, you know, that team went off the rails. and, you know, we guys would disappear for two days at a time. And Terry Robisky's first job was to get people, you know, to practice and keep people, you know, from getting arrested or whatever. Disappearing.
Starting point is 01:14:32 Yeah, disappearing. And I don't care how many people you have to hire that week or, you know, bring people into the building to make the point that that very thing can't happen. Man, you remember I told this story sometimes when Amad Brooks told me during practice, he was like, and Amad Brooks was all world. He was like the best football player I had ever seen. And Al Groh, who loves Lawrence Taylor, was kind of like, this is Lawrence Taylor reborn, dude. And one time it was cold. We were getting ready to play like tack late in the season or something. And Ahmad's like, I got to piss. And we're like, go piss. And so he runs off the field to go take a leak. And we don't see him for five days. And I can, I'll never forget Coach Groh's meeting with us like a day later. And everybody's like wondering where he went. And Al's like, guys, I just wanted to update you on the Amad situation. Essentially, he has retreated to his cave. So we don't know.
Starting point is 01:15:34 So we don't know when he's coming out. So you know, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, because it was Lawrence Taylor to him. So understanding. You know, it's like, that's like, did. Jimmy Johnson meeting where, you know, some guy falls asleep in the special teams meeting and, you know, the lights go on and the guy still sleep and, you know, Jimmy, get up and, you know, get your shit, you're out of here, you know. Jimmy cut people on planes on the way to London.
Starting point is 01:16:01 My family's already on their way, though, you know. It doesn't matter. But if it's Troy Aitman, you get him a cup of coffee and you wake him up. Exactly. You know, that's that deal. Yep, yeah. That's that deal. Is retreated? His game. You know, we have a philosophy, policies, rules, but sometimes for certain people, not everybody's treated the same. Not everyone's treated the same way. Rightfully in some situation.
Starting point is 01:16:27 Chris knows that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Chris never had to wear his socks high. Oh, because I didn't wear my, that was the one thing I got away with. That was Coach Gross thing. He had the NFL sock rule. Yeah, like you know. Everyone had to wear their socks up.
Starting point is 01:16:39 I never wore my socks down. And got up. Yeah. I never wore my. It's a weird feeling. If I could have wore them down in games, I would have. Oh, senior year was the only time I was able to do it. You get to the NFL and honestly you feel faster in high socks.

Starting point is 01:19:15 draft. Oh, God. Yeah. Did you read that in the show notes? I tried to think of, you know, Johnny Unitas. Oh,
Starting point is 01:19:26 don't give your board up. Okay. You can't give you draft board up because you actually have to draft these people. All right. And some of them might be on my board. You know? Well, you probably have a board.
Starting point is 01:19:36 I don't have a board. I have a small board. Okay. And you're not on it because I can't pick my dad. That'd be, you know, nepotism. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:43 You know, I don't want you to be a nepo, baby. No, it's not a flat top now. It's a brushback. It looks like I got the first pick. Oh, you do? Yeah, we got Nate, then Howie, then Chris.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Okay, we're doing four rounds. Four rounds. Four rounds. And I can't, obviously, first pick, first round. I got to go with Howie Long. Yeah. Okay, so you pick the guy in the... And we talked about this, and maybe you can give some insight on this.
Starting point is 01:20:10 This is a weird, interesting fact that I think is very interesting about you, that I either read or saw somewhere that you're the only sports person that was immortalized, like an M&M figure. I don't know that. It's true. I think it's true. And they put like a flat top on an M&M and I don't know if it was in an ad. I got a Lego.
Starting point is 01:20:36 See? You and Jimmy. You and Jimmy. You're one or two. Yeah. I've got a Lego thing. As a matter of fact, you have it in the kids' playroom. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:43 He's got a, there's a Lego thing of his head. He's got like basically my dad's head sitting up on the top of the... I got the perfect first pick. Yeah, Howie Long. That's funny. Good for you. I'll go Johnny Unitas. Fuck.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Nice pick. Okay. I have... I watched the NFL top 100 players of all time. I don't think I've ever seen Bill Belichick as excited about anything as talking about Johnny Unitas. I wonder why that is. grew up a cold.
Starting point is 01:21:10 Oh, because balls more. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. Okay. I got Wesley Snipes and Blades. Because I know that was on your fucking big board.
Starting point is 01:21:20 No, no, no, no, no. Oh, I don't know this went to movies. It could be anybody. Anything. Think about some of the look books that you look at at the barbershop. I think of some of those old movies you look. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now it's Nate's pick.
Starting point is 01:21:34 It's a snake draft. If it's snake, it's you. I don't know if you can pull the picture up. We shouldn't snake. Not enough four. Yeah, not in the four. Okay. Because you did that.
Starting point is 01:21:47 No, I'm going to go. I'm going to keep it. I'm going to keep it organic for me. And I'm going with Gaiyel Street Fighter. Okay. Yeah, that's pretty good one. Gile? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:22:28 He picked like a much lesser well-down movie. I love it. Great flat top, though. Jimmy Johnson at Arkansas. Yeah, Kurt Russell is a great pick. Oh, nice. Kurt Russell is a great pick. Yeah, that's a great pick.
Starting point is 01:22:42 Yeah, he's got, he had a great flat top. Okay, who's up next? Who do you? Oh, me? Chris Mullen. Not just, not just a white guy. He was a walking bucket in the NBA, but a fucking guy with a military hair set.
Starting point is 01:22:57 He's a whitest white guy. Yeah, yeah, he is. Just, just, just a walking bucket with a flat time. He's Irish white. Yeah. Oh, man. Great St. John's player. Okay.
Starting point is 01:23:09 Third pick I'm going with Zach, the Black Ranger from Power Rangers. Okay. He had a flat top. Okay. So, I got to represent. Okay, Zach, black. I never saw him without his.
Starting point is 01:23:24 You got to watch you. You didn't watch the show. Yeah, well, I never, yeah. Okay, yeah, he did have a good flat top. You're right. All right. Howie, back to you. Okay, I'm going to go, this is probably going to be a surprise.
Starting point is 01:23:38 I'm going to go with the flat top mullet. Brian Bosworth. Oh, shit. Love it. Yeah, that's a good call. Yeah. It's a good call. Hard to pull that off.
Starting point is 01:23:51 Okay. Am I up? He actually sold, did you know this? He sold t-shirts at opposing stadiums. He was way ahead of the curve. I heard this. Yeah, he was a great marketing guy. No, boss, hate bars.
Starting point is 01:24:05 And he's so smart. I love that. Bought the T-shirt. Yes. Was putting money at his pocket. Surprised he didn't become a pro wrestler. Yeah. That would have been the easiest pro wrestler.
Starting point is 01:24:13 His sons or his uncle. How would you feel about Kyle becoming a pro wrestler? He's too beat up. Yeah. Too beat up. Yeah. If you have steroids, though. If you have plates.
Starting point is 01:24:25 We pump him full of steroids. Yeah, like he needs that. Yeah. When you step back and you look, it's like, I'm watching him running from first base. I'm like, geez. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:24:43 You got down there for that pickoff play, though. Yeah, it was good. It's good. Yeah, he can still bend. You say he's too beat up. I'm like, I wish I felt like that. No, you look good running around. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:53 That triple was you were legging it out. Yeah, well, I did legs earlier, so I could have been even faster, but, you know, that's neither here nor there. Am I up? Yes. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to go with Charles Oakley and his flat top in the 90s. Nice.
Starting point is 01:25:09 Yeah. Yeah. A little nod to the next. Okay. Yeah. And my big board is, is empty. Oh. No, it's not.
Starting point is 01:25:17 No, I got a few more. But my last pick, and I'm going to follow up off of you, is Wesley Snipes in demolition. You can't. You can't do that. Why not? You can't take Wesley Snipes from me. Wesley Snipes is off the board. Wesley.
Starting point is 01:25:34 He said a specific movie. I understand, but I'm just hard. Okay. And maybe his, maybe you can say his best. Best flat top was in demolition man. I'm going to go. Blade, there was some pizzazz on that thing. Listen, I'm going to go with Big Daddy Kane then.
Starting point is 01:25:50 Okay. He had a flat top. Let's see. Big Daddy Kane. No, no, no, that's for Nate. Yeah. So, so far, you haven't picked any actual white people. Because Giles not a real person.
Starting point is 01:26:06 Your list is kind of racist. Howie Long is my first one? Oh, yeah, you're right. arguable Yeah You didn't hear my nicknaves at the radio Mighty Whitey Yeah
Starting point is 01:26:19 Mighty Whitey That's what they called it Mighty Whitey Yeah Because he was like the only white guy That could do cool stuff Physically That is so funny Yeah
Starting point is 01:26:30 That's like a superhero name That's kind of cool Mighty Whitey I'm at my up Yeah I'm gonna go with Jimmy Johnson at Arkansas. Oh, nice. Now that's the kind of pick that wins a draft.
Starting point is 01:26:44 You pull up the picture. It's a pretty tight flat top. Okay. Is it me? It is. Okay, it's me. I think I'm going to go with... There he is. Top left.
Starting point is 01:26:58 Top left. Top left. Right there. Oh, yeah. What position he played? Was he center? East. I think he was... Card? He was like a...
Starting point is 01:27:08 Nosed. tackle or something. He said he was hell on wheels. We get better as, you know, years go by. Now, Mike Dickett could have been a cop. Like, I'm looking at some of these old pictures. No quite.
Starting point is 01:27:21 Good back. Like, like, uh, no question. I think I'm going to go with Mike Dicka. Half that Bears team had flat tops. Yeah, I'm going to go with Mike Dicka. So I got Wesley Snipes and Blake, Chris Mullin, Charles Oakley, and Mike Dicka. Mike Dicker with a nice pair of aviator?
Starting point is 01:27:35 Yeah, dude. Reflectors. I'm slowing down in traffic. Like, he's in a, I figure he's in an unmarked car. In a car or on a motorcycle. Yeah, either one. I'm slowing down. I'm getting over to the shoulder.
Starting point is 01:27:48 Okay, so that concludes the draft, or do we have any more picks? That concludes it. So Nate selected Howie Long, Gile from Street Fighter, Zach the Black Power Ranger, Big Daddy Kane. I take it back. He did draft a white guy. Howie, Big Howie got Johnny Unitas, Kurt Russell, Brian Bosworth, and Jimmy Johnson in Arkansas. pretty good draft, Dad. You're pretty good at this.
Starting point is 01:28:11 And then I had Wesley Snipes in Blade or any movie. Chris Mullen, Charles Oakley, Mike Dicca. The Mike Ditka pick was, yeah. Yeah, you pulled that one out. Yeah, Mike Dicke. Mike Dicca had a great flat top. It was a different class of flat top than yours. I'll tell you, they were high and tight then.
Starting point is 01:28:31 No, but I came old about a month ago from the barber up by the airport. And mom said, dude, there's a barber shop. It's a little bit tight. That's the barbershop that I bring my kids. You walk in there. I told you I was a barbershop out of here. You tell you that. You tell them, you tell them you want a certain type of haircut.
Starting point is 01:28:49 Doesn't matter. You're getting the, hey, the bus for Vietnam leaves in five minutes. My kids, they're getting ready to get shipped off. Dude, it's crazy. Luke, he has, like, blonde hair. And it's so tight, you can see the back of his head. I mean, like, I didn't tell you this. But a couple days ago, Whalen had come home from practice.
Starting point is 01:29:08 And me, Whalen, and Luke were playing basketball. And I decided, because I kind of wanted to get a workout in, that I was going to run them. So I started running them. We were doing like gassers and stuff and we were in around the driveway. Is it too early? I mean, Luke's four. He likes doing it. Oh, Luke will run.
Starting point is 01:29:26 Yeah. Hey, if you open up the glass walkway doors at our house and you go from the kitchen door to the gym door, it's 60 yards. Yeah, yeah. And Luke runs. Luke can run all day. Yeah, he's good running. And he's bouncing. You know, he's like, you know, really fast people that are like their feet aren't on the ground.
Starting point is 01:29:49 A lot of time. It's bang, bang, bang, bang. Like a lizard that runs on the water. Now, whalen is a totally different bird. I watched him over there warming up the other day. He does not want any part of warming up. No, he don't like warm ups. But then I saw him, he catches a ball in the infield.
Starting point is 01:30:05 he, I think he was on the pitchers now maybe or behind the pitcher and he runs over to first base. Yeah, he rang pretty fast. They're like, damn! He runs when you need to run. So I said to him, I said, you know, the one thing I always told you dad, and I told Kyle and how he was
Starting point is 01:30:23 anytime you have an opportunity to show somebody you can run, run. You ran to first base. Those warmups. And he knew exactly what I was talking about. Yeah. He can run. When he wants to run, he can run.
Starting point is 01:30:37 Yeah. I don't think it's too early, though, because they were having fun. As long as they're having fun. Exactly. Yeah. All they want to do, and they come over the house, they want to go out and shoot hoops. Yeah. Then we put the lights on on the basketball court.
Starting point is 01:30:49 They were just, wow. Yeah. Yeah. What is it like to be a kid? They love getting babysat by Grandma and Papa. So appreciate the time, big guy. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:00 A lot of fun. And, you know, like I said, dad, he, he, he, uh, He volunteered coming in today because I was like, I heard you guys were hot. I was like, man, I don't fucking know. You're desperate. You got nobody. I said, I'm here if you need.
Starting point is 01:31:16 So if you people at home want the bullpen, just tap your right arm in the mentions. And we'll get the big right hand right. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Thanks. Mighty whitey. Mighty whitey.
Starting point is 01:31:27 Hey, it's mighty whitey. I think Jerry Robinson gave me that. Yeah. Just go sit over there. We'll call your name when. Take care.
