Episode Date: October 18, 2021

It's a double helping of the Eagles! Can Jalen Hurts be the guy? Collectivize the Eagles? Also, Ben Simmons. Ugh. Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tenklossespod Leave us a voicemail: 267-371-7218 Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tenthousandlosses

and go and we are back hello and welcome to the second episode or episode one uh of what we're uh temporarily at the very least calling uh 10 000 losses in honor of the philadelphia phillies being the losingest franchise in the history of professional sports at least in north america uh once again if anyone knows if there's some rugby team or something from the 1500s we don't know about, hit us up. But yeah, welcome back. I'm Liam Anderson. My pronouns are he, him, and my co-host.

I'm Tom Payne. My programs are also he, him. All right. So we talked about this a little bit last time, but what we want to do with this is sort of get away from the typical WIP sports radio call-in where it's either A, borderline racist, or B, just fucking unintelligible. We're not trying to do the hot take machine at least all

the time there will be some takes in here that probably will get us killed but that's fine that's fine we're big boys we can handle it oh yeah uh um so yeah like again uh sports radio is a festering garbage fire and we want to avoid that and we're not trying to do the you know twitter thing where you just say the absolutely most fucking idiotic thing that comes into your head at any given time right and then tweeted about jalen hurts right and yeah that and then the sports radio mindset is is is the the art of the the hot take there. Yeah. That's why, like, man, advertisements for Skip and Shannon Undisputed will come on when I'm watching college football.

And I'm just like, if I could reach to the TV and strangle you, Mike TV, from Willy Wonka style, like, I would absolutely fucking do that in a heartbeat. And I would happily go to prison. Yeah. And something I think that we might want to investigate at some point is, is this sports radio thing like a Northeastern thing? Or is it the specific kind of sports radio mindset that we have in Philadelphia?

I can see it existing in New York and Boston. It does exist in Boston. I can confirm. I mean, Philadelphia and Boston, and Boston, we're kind of united with our hatred of New York City and also history of racism and

that kind of stuff. I'd be interested in if anyone's from the West Coast, what kind of sports radio is out there? Is it like Philly sports radio? Someone from Phoenix, let us know what your sports radio is like.

Yes. Yeah, I can't imagine with the Suns. Oh, God. There's your Albuquerque isotopes update. The Coyotes. They still suck. Coming up next, the Cardinals. Yeah, they also suck. They're suck. Coming up next, the Cardinals. Yeah, they also suck.

They're 5-0 this year, man. They're 5-0. Kyler Murray looks good. And they just traded for our boy Zach Ertz. Yeah, you know. Who knows? They say sometimes you get older. Back in the day, you would go out west to get to the cleaner air.

You know, kind of fade off into the sunset. So I guess that's what's going to happen with Zach. Just fade off in the sunset, maybe start a ranch, you know. Live with Lane Johnson for the rest of your days. Yeah, you know, it's sad to see him go. Yeah. Well, I guess that's a good segue to start about the – talk about the Eagles.

Yeah, this is going to be an eagles heavy episode so yeah fair warning yeah we had two games we have two games since the last game um and uh since the last podcast i'm sorry and the first game that we uh played was the panthers and which was a fucking pathetic win i i remain convinced that Matt Rule, from his time at Temple, was actually a double agent and wanted us to win as an apology to the city of Philadelphia for bolting in the middle of the night for Baylor. You know, maybe that was his one that he wanted to give us, and I appreciate that, but we deserve to lose that game.

Yeah, that was hideous football that the the first half uh was was was pathetic um and there are a lot of offensive problems that are coming up um you know that that we can talk about um We'll probably try to explain it a bit for anyone who's not a huge football strategy head. But yeah, basically, we were losing the entire first half. And we came back. We started to find a stride and things turned our way. The block, the punt block was a... Beautiful. It was beautiful. Beautiful. And was beautiful.

Beautiful. And coming back, we almost had one of our own punts blocked earlier in the game. So that was sort of serendipitous. Special teams looks like a mess. I will say that. Yeah. Not a mess like they're always bad, just a mess in that they're not consistent. Because you get a punt block up and then our return team just just why are you fielding the ball out of the end zone like just take the touch back dude right it it seems my my greatest sin is that i'm very uh patient when it comes to this

stuff so part of me wants to go you know what what? They're a team. They're forming. They're young guys. It's new. But on the other hand, it is also professional football. So it was frustrating. And, you know, it's – we lucked – I mean, it really was a luck-induced win because the Panthers just weren't on. They were not playing to their ability. No, they looked sloppy.

I mean, they looked sloppy. It's not a wave, but... Right. The benefits of still having a decent defensive line, you know, not amazing, but, you know... But again, Panthers' offensive line isn't much to shake a stick at either. So, yeah. When the offense, though, when it does fire,

and we've been seeing, you know, flashes of this all year, when it is working, it works really well. Yeah, those passes to Que quiz walkins looked so good jalen jalen when he's when he's dialed in is amazing yeah i'm like i get i mean you're a second year quarterback you know with not a great o-line in front of you you're gonna make mistakes one of the things that that worries me is that it feels like when he doesn't get his first or second read he just tucks it and runs and like no dude you have to go through all of your progressions not just some of your progressions yeah um yeah so so anyone anyone not really knowing what that is you know when you're the

quarterback every play there's like your first look look i'm going to look at this rod receiver first or this receiver first and if he's not open I'm going to look to the next one and then the third one. Right. And there's usually, you know, two or three. It could be more depends. And what it looks like with Hertz is that he sees the first guys not open. And so he's like, all right, I got to do it myself. And that. That that becomes predictable and it starts being meaning that he rolls out to his right side

and then he gets smothered and he throws the ball out of bounds. And that's a concern. And I think we'll get to the Eagles' offense concern in a moment. Like overall, I got to say with with jail though that he is a stud you know i might have a little man crush on him you know and and that's okay no he was he balled out in alabama and then he got on i thought unfairly thrown under the bus by saban he was good at oklahoma absolutely yeah and Tua looks like shit too. Yeah.

The accuracy issues were something that was a concern even when he was in college. Yeah. And in the Panthers game, it was an issue, but it wasn't as evident as it was in the Buccaneers game. Yeah. And we can move to the Bucs game the Buccaneers game yeah um and we can we can uh we can we can move to the Bucs game if you if you want uh yeah let's talk about the let's talk about Fletcher Cox just not being

around like yeah uh yeah I mean is that a sign that that that he's getting I think he's just old man he's got there's a lot of miles in that body. Yeah. And, and yeah. And, and the, the,

you know, the line is where those miles rack up the quickest. Yeah. Um, I, I think, I think he's, he's starting to,

um, I think he's starting to, yeah, to get old and, and it's understandable. Um, I mean, he's still a threat.

He can be, um, but, but you're not, you're not the sort of seeing ghosts thing. Yeah. Yeah, it feels like that he's not like a factor. I mean, he's a factor in game planning, but he looks like they're not really like double teaming him like they used to.

Right. Someone who looks at Tate more might tell me I'm wrong, but that's just what it seems like I've noticed in passing. But Hargrave, on the other hand... He's got, what, six sacks, I think?

Someone would have to correct me on that. He looks fucking great. Yeah, and I don't know football advanced statistics as well as I do the baseball ones. Right. I was seeing this thing. It was like – I don't know.

It's like defensive value or something like that. Yeah, defensive value over average or over replacement. Yeah, and he was having – he was like top five or something in the league so far this uh, so far this year that that might've been a, uh, last week. I don't know what it is now, but he's having, he's having in,

in, you know, low key, not, not being, it's not the star of the defense, right? He's not being flashy,

but he's having a career year, which is, which is awesome. And, and he was a, he was a free agent pickup. Um, uh,

I believe, right. Cause he didn't, he used to play for Pittsburgh agent pickup, I believe. Right? Because didn't he used to play for Pittsburgh? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. And, you know, we'll get into the Howie discourse in a moment. You know, that's a good – that was a good signing. Yeah.

For every 10 mistakes he makes. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. And, yeah, that's a discourse that we need to go through. Just like on leftist Twitter, we need our discourses. And so this is one where we're in harmony.

Yeah, let's move on to the Bucks. Talk about how Tom Brady is fucking immortal. Yeah. I've been saying for years, you worry about people taking Adrenochrome or drinking children's blood. Someone's got to look at Tom Brady. Yeah.

That man is not... That man... Dude, I mean, it's sort of how I feel about LeBron. I'm obviously, by trade, a Patriots fan. I'm not i know listen my dad is from boston and that's okay uh so i i grew up obviously like watching um bledsoe and then brady when i was when i was about 10 and the thing the thing that like the man just doesn't look any fucking different like he looks better yeah he looks the same age he looks he he always looks locked in he never looks like he's um getting caught up you know off guard like he he's

he's someone that when he dies, they need to dissect his brain. Yes. Yeah. Well, the way like, and I, I feel about Brady sort of the way I feel about LeBron James. Like, even though he's not my guy, like watching him play is like,

you're watching, you're watching the greatest of all time. Like, right. The field, like, you know, even if Brady himself doesn't think those days are numbered,

they are right and like watching him like still be able to pick apart like a not bad defense right uh is is is something special i'm like yeah it sucks but like watching that is special uh that said fire tom fire Tom Brady into the fucking sun. Yeah, it's interesting. And I know that with your family's background from up in New England, being a Philly native, the Tom Brady hate, it's really like how we hate the Yankees.

It's not a rivalry. It's because he showed us up. Right. It's not a rivalry if they always kick our ass. Right. Philadelphians like the underdog, regardless of if it's our team or not. I mean, if it's our team, we love them no matter what. But we root for underdogs, and Tom Brady's never been the underdog.

Nope. Somebody who was replacing Bledsoe 21 years ago. Right. And then we had – I forget what Super – here we go. Talk about being a Philadelphia sports fan. Super Bowl, was it 39? When we lost the infamous Donovan McNabb throw-up Super Bowl in Jacksonville and we lost to the Patriots and that was a very, very close game. I think that's part of the Tom Brady hate. But, you know, as a player, like as a fan of the sport,

you can't say he sucks. Right. Ever. And that's a very Philly thing. He goes, fuck it, Paul. Fuck it, sucks. And he's like, nah, actually he's really good. He has seven Super Bowls.

Yeah, he's actually really good. And he's going to go to the Hall of Fame. But, you know, I was not expecting the Eagles to win that game. I don't think anybody was. No. Shout out to Seamus Clancy, who's a football writer in Philly. I subscribed to his newsletter. He was like, I'm high on the birds, 34-30.

And I was like, no, it's not going to go that way. Much respect, Seamus, but no. Yeah, absolutely. And I still want him to win. I expect him to win. But we put up a good fight. The game, it wasn't, I think in the notes that I put before, I said the inevitable pain and disappointment of this loss.

It was not a painful loss. It was, there were painful aspects to the loss. The defending Super Bowl champions, you're not, they have the greatest of all time and a wide receiving core that is probably the best of the league. Yeah. And the Eagles at least managed to not get run up on right you know it didn't end 50 to 20 it was right the problem the problem as you have the notes here is that this offense has no fucking idea what it's doing yeah it's it's it's the biggest issue with this

team because i mean even even our our banged up not that great offensive line i mean we managed to keep um pressure off hurts yeah way more than i thought that we were going to oh no same i mean the tampa defense blows but yeah but like the eagles have started something like 11 different combinations already yeah we're in what week five week six right like um this line cannot stay healthy and that's that's a huge cause for concern on a good year when you when you have a quarterback who's not a second year and you have a competent coach who's not shitting in his own mouth. Yeah. Hearts. Yeah, they won't.

We have Miles Sanders in the backfield. Run the fucking ball. Yeah. He's a really good running back, as it turns out. And you notice when they started running the ball, they started being able to close the gap. Yeah. They started being able to close the gap. And I said, I probably said this last week. I say this all the time.

When I talk sports with, with, you know, people I know, just as in baseball, you need to establish your fastball, right? You need to establish before you can throw a breaking ball. You need to establish the run before you can do things like screens and rpos and play fakes it's and you have a credible threat in the backfield and i know that nfl offenses are moving to you know like right now it's like super just air raid everywhere air raid spread one back you know like one one uh personnel and which means one tight end and one uh running back for those see i don't want spread, one back, 1-1 personnel, which means one tight end and one running back for those. See, I don't want to get too into that.

Yeah, sure. We need to run the ball because Hurts is pass accuracy. It is a legitimate concern. He's missed some very wide throws. And for a player who's very composed, for someone who can run and you can tell he's not afraid of getting hit, that pass accuracy is something that genuinely needs to improve. Regardless of who's head coach next year,

we could decide to be running power I formation worth of fullback. Bring back Jordan Howard, use him as a fullback. He's still going to be able to have to get some of these passes. And I can forgive a deep ball being over. We're just airing it out. Yeah, because that's hard to gauge exactly where you're putting it. Not everyone is going to be Patrick Mahomes and just have the benefit of having Tyreek Hill down there somewhere.

Right. And conversely, I mean, mean the bills beat the inaccuracy issues out of josh allen yeah and he because coming out of college at wyoming he was super inaccurate he had like a 55 pass completion rating and uh and they've managed to get that under control so it's not you know sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill but right i don't know how much i trust nick fucking sirianni of all people to get it done yeah yeah the question about josh allen did the bills also beat the racism out of him no probably not no okay all right i mean you know one out of two um yeah it's it's doug mcdermott uh is i don't think is a leading light on race issues, if I had to guess, given how

he treated Tyron Taylor. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, no surprise there. But, yeah, and a lot of these, you know, past these past accuracy issues, you know, especially when you have someone like Devonta Smith, who's like a really good route runner. And. And Klaus Walkins now.

Yeah. We have, we actually have two receivers. Yeah. It's crazy. If you want to throw these like, you know, outs and,

and you got to be on the dime there, especially you got, someone's getting double covered. Like it's, it's, and that's what I think the big issue is. We don't know what kind of offense is it. Is it air raid?

Are we trying to do a little West Coast thing with all the little dinks and dunks? What is it? Because I don't know. The Buccaneers game too, I was pleasantly surprised with how much pressure we were getting with just the front four defensive linemen. Yes. They looked genuinely solid and and and we're not blitzing that much which um is is conflicting for me as someone you know growing up with the the blitz off at defense you know like with with brian dawkins and and that whole crew, where we blitz like crazy. But it seems like the – yeah, go ahead.

It's hard now, though, because receivers – it feels like every receiver is running like a 4-2-40. Yeah. And I mean, they're not – even without the blitz, I noticed that as well, that they were getting getting and not even just pressure, like consistent pressure. I'm like, the way you beat Tom Brady is to just constantly get in his face. Yeah. Like, it's the only thing that's ever worked is constantly getting in the dude's face.

Yeah. I mean, that's what worked at the Super Bowl. Right. Yeah. And we were getting in his face. The tip pass that was almost an interception. That was a good one. And so, I mean, we've gotten that.

The defensive backs have looked well. Like, they're playing well to me. Epps played well. Because he got the pick at the end, right? Yeah. Yeah. This is a defense that's not, you know, it's not heralded, I think. But they're doing the work they need to put in.

Obviously, like Fletcher Cox is a concern. Just staying healthy is a concern. But, you know, the O-line's been just ripped apart. I mean, everyone on the O-line is hurt. You're starting next week. Yeah. I know. Yeah.

And we'll see how it goes. And Roz is at right tackle. Yeah, Roz is at right tackle. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to it. The defense, man. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to it. The defense, too, like you say, it's not heralded. Very weak in the middle with the linebacker situation.

Yeah, and that's a concern because that's where, like, if a team knows that, they can rip the birds for 20, 25 yards just up the gut. And that's a big concern. Yeah, and you saw that with the Bucs. They were able to get some runs up the middle were doing well. Fortunately, the defense was able

to hold the stereotype. Ben, don't break that old chestnut. Any other thoughts on the Buccaneers game? Like I said, overall, I was pretty happy. I'll be real with you. I was expecting a blowout.

Yeah. And I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't get one. And the defense does. For a defense that's sort of thrown together like it feels a lot of this team is this year. Yeah. It could be a lot worse. Yeah. Do we want to move on to the Zach Erdstrade?

I mean, we're not going to spend too much time on that. No. As you were saying before recording, you know. Our big, shiny, blonde boy. Yeah. He's going out west, riding into the sunset, forever an eagle. Well, reception shy of the franchise record I'm very

This will come out as this podcast goes on I'm very sentimental I think it's the thing of being a baseball fan Growing up to that kind of stuff We couldn't have gotten him one more game Just feed him Just do that um but you know a sixth and a fifth i believe no fifth and uh and a corner i've never heard of yeah apparently the corner we were scouting though

so we apparently wanted this guy oh okay i'm gonna we'll have to look up his name. I'm on it right now. There we go. He's got the faster internet. Yeah, buddy. So, yeah. Tay Gowan. Tay Gowan. Yeah, someone I never heard of. Apparently, though, the Eagles did want to pick him last year in a draft,

which now I'm like, wait, you can trade a player the year they got drafted? And that's baseball brain, because you can't. Right. No, you can trade a player the year they got drafted? And that's baseball brain because you can't. Right. No, you sure can. Yeah. He went to the University of Central Florida. Yeah.

So, you know. God, he was born in 1998, dude. Yeah. I see that every time I get students who are born in like 2003 and stuff. No, thanks. Yeah. I see that every time I get students who are born in 2003 and stuff. No thanks. Yeah. So, I mean, he's going off to a great Cardinals team, which is a term I never expected to say in my lifetime.

No. Well, didn't they make the Super Bowl like 14 years ago? Yeah. With Kurt Warner, right? Did they? Or was it Carson Palmer? Carsonmer oh jesus they lost to the steelers oh i was in middle school okay like 15 years ago okay yes that's probably why i don't remember um it's it's a it's it's a shame also uh arizona doesn't deserve the Cardinals. They should belong to St. Louis.

Yes. There you go. That's the takes that are going to get people angry at us. Come over here on our side of the Mississippi where we have adequate water supplies and say it. Yeah. We don't have to have air conditioning running all year. Yeah, just to make it borderline livable.

Yeah. Yeah. Just to make it borderline livable. Yeah. Um, yeah. So goodbye, Zach Ertz. Um, everyone remembers the touchdown, but really the,

his key play in the super bowl, uh, was that, that, um, first down that he grabbed out of mid air and, and just like dropped right down. The game would have been over if that didn't happen.

So right off into the sunset, my man. Good luck. Maybe you'll get another ring with the Cardinals. What a depressing thought. Listen. It's not going to be. It's the Eagles aren't uh this uh this offense uh probably needed all the help it could get yeah um and and i don't know the wisdom of of basically

uh sacrificing your second year quarterback and not giving him the help needs. And this is starting the tanking discourse, and this has started – I have to see whose article I was reading. I think it was Zach Berman in The Athletic who was saying that the Ertz trade makes sense from a perspective of with our offense, which is one back, one tight end. We've been playing that very – almost exclusively. It doesn't make sense having Ertz and Goddard um I I get that but the the it's not asking the root question which is why are we do we is that kind of offense the best offense for the for the team we have. Right. And I think that that's a good segue to Sirianni and play calling

and are the calls for his blood warranted? Fire this asshole. And so are we too hard on coaches in Philly? Yes, but also fire this asshole. Do you remember that first press conference? Oh, dude, it was – yeah. I don't have the quote. It's like an acid trip, man.

I don't have the quote, but I was really – he was making sentences that didn't make sense in any grammatical way. Well, I'll have to find the quotes, but we could probably use them for drops. The, the, he, by all accounts, lovely human being, very nice guy. Yeah. Apparently a very nice guy. I believe it.

Um, I think he's a golden retriever. He's in way the hell over his head. Yeah. He's a golden retriever in human form. He is. I don't think this, this kid's ready. I think, and when he was signed, I, there were not there was there were people saying that this is someone that the eagles upper management the front office howie and and uh jeff could control

and that was a huge issue with peterson yeah And there were people who admittedly shit on the Peterson hire when it happened, and then he went out and won a Super Bowl. But I don't, I mean, going from Peterson to this, and then, like, especially with all the shit, those of you who don't know, we have Jalen Hurts because our former star quarterback, Carson Wentz, the Klansman himself, decided that he no longer wanted to play for Philly, demanded a trade, tanked his own value. And then we traded him to the Colts where he currently is missing both his ankles. Yeah. And honestly, give Doug another year. There was no reason to get rid of him. No, there wasn't, I mean, I was give Doug another year.

There was no reason to get rid of them. No, there wasn't. I thought that as well. Yeah. And instead we get Sirianni who I found the quote is the next thing is very important to me that we build a smart football team, that we have a smart football team here.

And I know we have the people in place to do that. The first part of being smart is knowing what to do. That's like military speak, man. Yeah, that's your safety briefing. The first part of being smart is knowing what to do. Now, just call me if you get drunk. Don't go out there. Yeah, that's your safety brief uh before the weekend the first part of being smart is knowing what to do that you know push wisdom and it sounds like uh what's his fucking name the the sam hanky man yeah that weird like vc speak yeah it's it's and i think i think it's in sirianni's mind he he he's the kind of guy who if his coach said something like that to him he's like I think it's in Sirianni's mind. He's the kind of guy who, if his coach said something like that to him,

he's like, that's wisdom. Man, coach knows a lot. Write that down. Write that down. Yeah, write that down. Awesome. He probably would think about that. It would remind him.

It's like, I'm going to be smart. I got to know what to do. Somehow he made it work because he's that kind of guy. Like I said, he's a golden retriever. He's not mean, he doesn't seem like a, he seems like a really decent guy. He seems thrilled to be here. Yeah, he seems very happy, his tail's wagging. You know, and

so the question that I was thinking is, how much is this a Sirianni problem? How much is it a Howie problem? Um, Howie is the much larger problem. Sirianni is a problem, but like Howie Roseman.

So again, for those of you who don't know, it's a general manager of the Philadelphia Eagles, which means he controls the roster and basically tells the head coach who he's going to have to work with. howie roseman uh has hit gold had hit gold i'd say from 2013 to about 2017 where he made some really good signings including the year before the super bowl where they picked up like legarrette blunt chris long uh and since then how so so a couple things howie roseman can't fucking draft for shit right uh he if you go i

don't have it in front of me but if you go and look at who he's drafted since like 2015 it's no one like notable like especially like day two day three drafts like he's not good at finding value late in the draft he's not good at finding value early in the draft either no uh like there's got to be i think in philly we don't put nearly enough blame on howie yeah i think he deserves i would say high 80s percent of the blame and you know speaking of sports you know how we talk about sports radio uh when when when the office eagles offseason last year happened and the Doug Peterson thing and Carson Wentz, there were a lot of Howie defenders saying it wasn't his problem and that he's, oh, well, look, he's good at signing free agents. Okay. He's signed a couple that were good.

Oh, he's really good at cap space okay wow wow phenomenal you know this is the nfl where you can just redo contracts and make something that was salary a signing bonus and that's how you stay under the cap every team does that it's not this is not magic this is you just you need an accountant yeah um the you know i mean hiring sirianni that's something that falls under under havley as well so the issues here i think yeah really do stem from from ownership and and from what i what i've heard i know if you've heard anything different which is that lori has gotten much more involved in running the franchise. I, I have heard that. And I had heard that I've heard sort of rumors about the like whispers that,

uh, that he had been like that, that basically not as much as like a Jerry Jones or someone, but right. He wants to be hands on. And like, you know, we saw that when,

uh, when, who was criticizing ownership briefly in the Super Bowl parade. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's kind of like the anti-Jerry Jones in a sense because he's not problematic in that way. That we know of. He's a billionaire. He's problematic because he exists.

We can't forget this is a leftist sports podcast. Collectivize the Eagles is what we're saying. Collectivize the Eagles, yeah. The team would do a great... The team would probably be able to coach itself honestly. The city should own the franchise. the team would do a great, you know, the team would probably be able to coach itself. Honestly.

And the city should own the franchise. Yes. I mean, the city, like the Eagles do not pay enough to the city. No. And like, and temple has to pay the city.

Yeah. Which is insane. No, the Eagles, we should own the stadium. We should own the team. Give us the team. Give us the team is what we're saying. There's no reason for a billionaire to be involved in any of this.

No. Any ownership whatsoever. It's, you know. Well, especially because now you have, especially in smaller markets, owners that just don't give a shit about their teams. Right. Because it's a prestige thing or, like, they're're gonna make the money back from tv deals anyway yeah they just don't fucking care so like the oakland days collectivize the oakland days let the fans run

it fuck yes let the fans really um bring them back to philadelphia too uh actually no oakland deserves a team i i don't want to do that to oakland at this point they the people of oakland oakland can have them. And collectivize the Raiders and bring them back. Absolutely. Like Neil L. Davis over a ditch at this point. Yeah. And after he died, that was your sign.

Bring them back. Las Vegas doesn't deserve any teams. It's not a city. It's the smallest nfl market i think by like a population of 50 000 it's not a real place it's not a cohesive it's not a cohesive you know area with with a real history um other than mafia shit and um we rebuilt sodom and gomorrah yeah sodom g Gomorrah on land that we stole from Native Americans. Yes. Actually, you know what?

Whatever teams want to stay in Los Angeles, we give them to the local tribes. There you go. There you go. That's indigenous land. I'm down for that as well as returning teams to the indigenous folks. Seminole Tribe, congratulations. You now, in addition to florida state you now have the dolphins and the buccaneers ironically yes yes give the eagles to the

lenape at 100 absolutely there you go there you go like like like i'm not fucking joking land and football teams back yes i i 100 they would run better. It would be more enjoyable. They deserve it. You can feel good about where your money's going. Absolutely. You renamed the city Lenapehoking. If you ever came across someone playing MLB The Show and the name was

Lenapehoking Black Cats with a logo that looks like the Wobbly logo, you might have just played me. That's fucking funny. Yeah, I'll have to show you that. Yeah, so yeah. And I think this would take us to our last Eagles thing about play calling, which is...

A disaster. It's a fucking disaster, dude. No contextual awareness, right. Uh, for those who are not super familiar with NFL or football, American football, you know,

this is like a chess game and you, you are trying to outmaneuver your opponent by calling plays that are going to run counter to the plays your opponent is calling. And, uh, both sides change change make adjustments on the fly but what it seems like and what sirianni has said is they have a game plan and they're sticking to it um which is cute but doesn't work right and the game plan is throwing the ball uh outside like not down the middle of the field, doing what's called a screen play, where is where you're trying to trick the other team into thinking that you're running the ball and get some, get some movement downfield,

draw some defenders away and then throw it, throw the pass to like a wide receiver or a back. Who's like at the same, at the same part of the field you are, and then make your way up field to, and also RPOs called run pass option, where basically the quarterback makes a decision, whether he's going to hand it off, pass it or run himself.

And none of these work if you're not running the football, which, which I saw, was it Ray Dininger said, And none of these work if you're not running the football, which I saw – was it Ray Dininger said it was like a high school offense. Yeah. Which that's – that man knows a lot. And when he's saying that, that's pretty scathing. That's tough. It's – He's not wrong. it's totally fucking predictable

where you know there was a i forget who said it was talking about the the bucks defense felt like he was like it felt like they knew every play we were gonna run right like this is week five dude yeah and they probably did because they watched the tape. They have guys who do that. Their entire job is just to watch what the other team does. They assist the coordinators who assist the coaches. And they saw, okay, these are the – and they run, like, process trees where it's like if they do this, they're likely to make this decision. Like, that's where a lot of money, you know, in an organization in terms of like front office stuff is spent on these

kinds of analytics. Hopefully at least. Hopefully. And I would imagine a team like the bucks probably does because they won a Superbowl. That's what's so good about, about a coach like Bill Belichick is that he's been around long enough that you know for belichick i've you know we're going off a little bit here but yeah his scheming uh against the rams in super

bowl 53 where you know people like the belichick move is to basically take away one option but the patriots defense was all over the place and you can make a rookie quarterback look real stupid real quick if you force any team not just a rookie quarterback but especially a rookie quarterback i'm gonna make you make a whole lot of choices that you don't want to make yeah and you basically force them into like okay if x then y then z like but it doesn't feel like beyond the defense which again actually looks okay it doesn't look stellar but it looks okay right the offense just looks like exactly what you're saying at the top of the podcast like hurts doesn't get his first read so like hurts us to blame a little bit but he's a second year quarterback with a not great offense

in front of him so like i'm willing to give him some slack but like sirianni deserves a ton of blame i think yeah i i i i think that's a i i think yeah it's a play calling thing i mean it's he's he is a first year head coach and and the the part of me that goes all right we need to you need to to kind of give him the time to play this out. But I think this just shows you don't hire a guy who hasn't at least been an offensive coordinator on a NFL offense before. Because he was what? The highest of his wide receivers coach? Yeah, I think so.

Yeah. I mean, I could be incorrect there. Let's do Wikipedia. There we go. God, he is such a doofus. receivers coach yeah i think so yeah i mean i could be incorrect there but uh let's to wikipedia there we go god he is such a doofus he was a wide receivers coach at iup oh really oh yeah yeah yeah no he was the oc at uh at indy oh he was okay as part of frank rick's set okay yeah yeah um all right yeah so so uh so I was incorrect. I just broke the cardinal sin of Philadelphia sports commentary, which is admit you were wrong.

No, you doubled down, motherfucker. Yeah, doubled down. Well, he wasn't really the offensive coordinator. That was Frank Reich's whole thing, so he really was the real offensive coordinator. He kind of was just some sort of apprentice. Yeah, that's – there you go. Coming up next on WIP. Coming up next on WIP.

We're live from some shitty bar in Port Richmond. Hey, you guys want to go to a smok smoking bar in Delco you've never heard of? How many slurs will you hear in the background? Many. You'll hear many slurs. Oh, fuck. Yeah, I don't know, man. I mean, if you've been an OC for three years,

I feel like that's still probably not enough time. And like, you know, Sirianni is just, like, he's over his head. Is it over his head? This whole team isn't over their heads. Well, you know, and then I saw, I saw like, like, like the first shot of the game. Howard Eskin was behind him.

Yeah. So I don't know that I feel like that's like, you know... Just waiting for him like the Reaper. Yeah, that's like... You know, you see some picture of JFK and, you know, some sort of known assassins behind him, you know, when he didn't realize it. That's like, you know, he's standing there. He's waiting for blood. Because he doesn't go...

Anyone who doesn't know Howard Eskin, just look up, just Google Howard Eskin. He looks like the Burger King mascot. And he's known for wearing fur coats. Oh, my God. I've never put that together, but yep. Oh, yeah. He looks just like the Burger King King.

And he's a character. I like the controversy section that's 10 paragraphs long. Yeah. People don't know it's a bit. He's doing it for attention. It's his job to be an iconoclast uh but that like that's what sports radio does you get guy goes on and he says he makes a hot take and he won't back down from it it's entertainment for guys who drive white panel vans doing 85 miles per hour uh when i-95

well they're calling in yelling at wip That's the entire point of takes like that. The one guy who called in, I got to drop my daughter off at the hospital. But first, I just want to say about Zach Ertz like two years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a weird city. We will try our best to get that through to you. Yeah, well, that reminds me of the bit that I was saying that someone called in last week, said they passed out from yelling at the Panthers game.

They said they were calling from the hospital, and they're going to send a bill to Harry Roseman. That's fair. He could pay it. Yeah, he could pay it. That's the mindset here in the city. Good shit talkers. Any other thoughts on the Eagles or do you want to move on to... Let's move on to this.

The Sixers. Jesus Christ. Monday, Ben came back. Apparently he showed up at the training center. Our prodigal son. He has returned. And you're actually using prodigal son correctly. No one does.

That's why... Thank you. I guess that's why I'mal son correctly. No one does. That's why. Thank you. I guess that's why I'm doing a podcast. I did it. Yeah. I didn't hear. Fuck it. I was right.

Let's go. Yeah. Yeah. So he just turned up on Sunday night, Monday morning, showed up. Apparently he texted. Like, yo, I'm outside or something. Yo, I'm outside. He had to get his covid test um and so yeah i i put so apparently ran up to doc it was like uh ben's outside yeah um yeah so

is it i'm just here so i won't get fined i my conspiracy theory i have a theory ready to go all right let's do it let's is that put the's put the true and non on baby is that he realizes that they're, they basically are perfectly fine. Just not training him. Like they can take the poison pill. And as long as he actually reports, they can just set up. Yeah. Like it'll, it'll look bad, but they could just sit up, you know?

Yeah. They're going to, they're going to have to trade him eventually, but they're not going to trade for anything less than they want. I think this team would rather sit him than trade him. And that's exactly what I would do. And like I said, come on, man. If he wants to be traded, showing up is probably the best way to do that because then other teams are like,

Oh, he's, he actually wants to play. Yeah. This, this whole brinksmanship thing with, with Ben, you know,

I mean, in one end we can reflect and say that this shows how, even in a league where the athletes are well remunerated and they have a very strong union, ownership still holds all the cards at the end of the day. And if he wants – and it's not just the Sixers' ownership. It's the collective ownership of the league because they're looking at him holding out and that lowers his value in

terms of being a a trade piece if we're going to commoditize players which which we don't here on this podcast no but the general management of these teams do and the fans love to do it. And the fans love to do it too. If he shows up and plays, you know, that's probably the best thing for him in terms of trade value. That's my thought too because you can prove what you can actually do. Yeah. And you don't look like a self-destructive dick. Right. And he has – and we said this the last podcast.

I don't want to get too – you repeat myself, but he has a legitimate complaint. You know, his boss criticized him in public. And you can say, oh, well, you know, my boss does that. Well, then your boss sucks, too. And he did get, he's been sort of unfairly thrown under the bus. Yeah. Embiid said something where basically like I don't understand why we got rid of Jimmy Butler and blah blah blah

which I agree but like the whole fucking team besides Jimmy Butler forgot how to play basketball those last five minutes it's hardly a Ben problem and like Tobias Harris is getting paid a shit ton of money and for a while

not this past season, but, like, two seasons ago, looked objectively horrible. Yeah, no, he has not played all that well. He's not playing what they're paying him, certainly. No, and, you know, good on him for getting that paycheck. But, you know, My whole thing, too. Ben shows up, if he plays, to improve his value, which I think

would be the best thing for him if he wants to get out of Philly, considering the circumstances at hand. The ideal situation was you just trade him and the Sixers get a good value. Contrary to popular belief, he does not suck. Sixers get a good value because, you know, uh,

contrary to popular belief, he does not suck. He is not a bad player. He's not a bad player. He's a good player. He has holes in his game that he's not working on. And that's the issue. And there's some sort of psychological things going on that we don't have the

expertise to unpack. Um, I can't imagine what do you like, what he would, what reaction would be like if he does play um i do you even dress him at home like i i do like the idea of oh i just checked i thought you'd like this fantasy hockey yeah uh i'm losing 134.75 to 82.25 oh i'm getting blown out dude oh uh anyway yeah i guess you dress him and you just sort of hope for the best you kind of need him you know you need this defense yeah um you do um he's a he's a very he's a top three defender in the league and I'll die on that

hell. Like he truly is. And, and I, you know, he might be, he might have offended Philadelphia. Right.

And, and the Cardinal said, right. And as a lifelong Philadelphian, you know, I, I understand it. You know,

there's the whole John, John Fasenda said, you know, a Philadelphia learns how to boo before they learn how to speak which which is not wrong uh but i'm worried that like someone's going to like you know try you will have like a uh what is it the piston situation where you get like a fight going on oh yeah yeah the dude does not deserve any threat to his physical body. He does not deserve anything thrown at him. It's just a fucking game at the end of the day. Literally, that's all it is.

It's just entertainment. I hope he plays. He's going to get booed. He's going to have to deal with that. Yeah, he will get booed. I don't want anyone to throw shit or stupid. What a fucking dumb thing it would be to do that. But, yeah, I think with Ben, that's really his road out of here.

I saw that Allen Iverson just like said – was it – I literally just saw it. It was like follow God's plan, little bro. Yeah, I saw that. All right. Yeah, so – and if you want to know how to be a point guard in Philadelphia,

Allen Iverson's – Probably a good place to start. Yeah, he want to know how to be a point guard in Philadelphia, Allen Iverson's – Probably a good place to start. Yeah, he's a good place to start. Peace be upon him. He's one of my favorite players of all time. And regardless, to quote Charles Barkley or paraphrase Charles Barkley, or paraphrase Charles Barkley, I don't watch preseason basketball because it's boring. Yeah.

So apparently, though, the Sixers have looked good without Ben. Isaiah Jones looked really good. He was a really good pickup. Yeah. They drafted him. Tyrese Maxey's look good. The Sixers can draft. The Sixers can draft.

The Sixers are, right now, for the near future, are our best hope for a title in this city. Yeah. God, that's depressing. I know. Because it's not the other sports. So, I mean, I would be shocked if the sixers don't make the playoffs this year um i i can't imagine that not happening oh they'll make the playoffs and i mean losing the second round yeah well we don't

know right because like uh we should spend maybe 30 seconds talking about uh the now rapidly imploding new york nets brooklyn nets yeah uh good i'm i'm i'm i'm being i'm happy to talk about this yeah so for those of you who don't know one of the three biggest stars on uh the brooklyn nets uh kyrie irving is a lunatic and is probably is not vaccinated that we know of yeah uh basically refused to get vaccinated uh and he's not going to be allowed to practice or play with the team until he's vaccinated uh so they're gonna have to try and limp it with kevin durant if you're gonna have to limp a team kevin durant's a good place to start right and james harden uh so i think the nets are gonna just i think they're gonna implode this year yeah uh i think the sixers do what they always do and make it to the second round and then collapse to the almighty boston celtics yeah we're the hawks jesus i'd rather

lose the celtics and losing the Hawks, it's embarrassing. You can sort of be like, good game, good game to the Celtics just because the history of the rivalry is there. And you sort of like, we'll get them next time. But losing to the Hawks is so fucking embarrassing. Yeah. Trey Young's dumb fucking face. Yeah. And his, I mean, man, it's like, bro,

like I started balding really young too and uh yeah i just buzzed my head man just just give up just give up uh you got too much testosterone that's what you guys say uh um yes so so it's good to see uh that's imploding uh um i'm schadenfreude there uh because kairrie Irving's insane and he's always been insane and I remember reading some anecdotal story when he was talking about the flat earth and some player was like

pointing at the window and it's like yo motherfucker look it's round like you can go see it with your own eyes look like you know I don't know how true that is or if that's something I just you know saw on the internet, but I wish it was real. I choose to believe it's real.

Yeah. So, yeah, that was the Sixers. We can move to the other Wells Fargo team. The Flyers have never won a shootout. And they didn't lose that last game, which was a shootout. Five to four. Yep. So that was my first hockey game I've watched in probably about 10 years.

And I forgot that they changed the rules around icing. Yep. So that was different. I don't remember the refs calling penalties like NFL refs, but that also could just be distance. Like it could have just been that ref. I don't know. But no, it was fun.

I mean, it was fun to watch hockey. I remember why I like the sport. You know, it's a fun sport. So I don't have a great assessment of the team at this point. They're going to be mediocre. Just because, yeah, I'm new. Carter Hart has to bounce back. He's not going to.

There's no help in front of him. Flyers are going to do some flyer shit and win 15 in a row before losing 20 in a row. Yeah. Sarah, if you're listening to this, Carter Hart is going to bounce back. He's not. He's not. It's all they scored two goals bouncing off of him.

Yeah. He was our golden boy, and now it's not looking too good. But yeah, so maybe I'll have to download a franchise hockey manager and do GM mode and kind of get my bearings on that. Unlock the brain of a Flyers fan. Yeah, to get back into it. Because I used to be into that. I used to know all the strategies and stuff.

But it's been taken up by other information. But no, it was fun to watch hockey again. Fun in quotes because they lost. But it's Philadelphia. What do you expect? I mean, it is what it is. I didn't know that there was a team called the Kraken. I was like, whoa.

Well, they're brand new, man. It's their first season. Okay. Well, there we go. Yeah, so we're playing them tomorrow. Bruins on Wednesday. And the Bruins. I'm going to sound like such a dork. The Bruins good, are they?

Yeah. There's some uncertainty this year because our franchise goalie sort of no one really knows. He's got health issues, but he and the team, and this is not me complaining, are keeping it real close to the chest yeah so we're starting a new goalie uh jeremy swayman who backed up rask last year he looks good um i i hope rask gets better with whatever he needs uh we just signed uh we have probably the best first line in the nhl uh so i'm really happy about that i don't think this is a team that wins a cup this year but this is a team that you know pending a

collapse uh can maybe sneak into the eastern conference finals i think that's probably about as far as this team goes. Okay. But like, they're going to make the playoffs. Charlie McAvoy just got signed to a eight year deal and he absolutely deserves it. So I'm happy about that.

Well, good news. Ben Simmons still appears on the Sixers roster page. Oh yeah, of course. All right. Yeah. I don't know.

Any other thoughts on the flyers? It's going to be a long season. Yeah. I don't know. Any other thoughts on the Flyers? It's going to be a long season. Yeah. My Flyers takes will improve as the season goes on. Same. And as I start getting back into hockey. Give us some time. Yeah.

I got to get that brain, that part of my brain recalibrated. I mean, I do. So when I was in fifth grade, I i was really that's like like that was like the height of my hockey fandom right and uh i played a you know nhl you know on the like 01 or whatever like uh no not 01 geez it was like 97 or whatever yeah on the on the uh on my computer and uh i i lied to my teacher i said hey yeah I didn't get my homework last night. I was at hockey practice. And I was not known for my athleticism at that point in my life. So I pointed lightly.

And my teacher called my mom. And she's like, what? No, practicing maybe on the computer. And my teacher called me out in class. Oh. I got laughed at. You probably deserved it. I did deserve it.

There was a good consequence for a dumb lie. Yeah. But, yeah, so that's my hockey knowledge. So, all right right baseball time uh saving this one for last uh last you know in our pilot episode we talked about wanting to maybe talk more this week about just the state of of baseball and ownership itself i think we're going to save that for for another episode uh just because we spent so much time on the eagles but um uh you know the off season i mean the nfl that geez mlb post season's in full swing and um in terms of philly it just makes i get you know i have like fomo now um from watching from watching the Red Sox

race series. Two grand slams and two innings, baby. Yeah, and fuck the Astros. Sorry, swoleshalist. Swoleshalism. Yeah, swoleshalism. We love you. Great dude.

Follow him, but fuck the Astros. But yeah, watching the red socks uh and watching fenway and i actually got to visit fenway this summer not not at a game but just the tour it because it's a great park man it's it's history and uh seeing that that that that park just filled to the brim and the energy and we haven't had that for 10 years now. It's so fucking disappointing in the Phillies that this team is

just basically a pride project for the ownership. Not even pride. I don't know. Oh, I own a team. Maybe it's his only income source. I don't know. He's got like $4 billion.

But, you know, Philadelphia deserves postseason baseball. And in terms of who to root for, well, I'll say this. In the NLCS. Not the Braves. Not the Braves. Fuck the BravesS... Not the Braves. Not the Braves. Fuck the Braves because they're the Braves. That's just... They could be the nicest team in the world,

which they're not. Fuck the Braves. Freddie Freeman's a really nice guy. I'm okay with him getting a ring, but I don't want to own the Braves. I don't support the Dodgers. Because of Trevor fucking Bauer. Because they signed Trevor Bauer, even though he's not playing.

But also, they have Jose Arraez, who also is a domestic abuser in the past as well. And I don't have a problem with the Dodgers per se. It's like, oh, because they're a good team or whatever. I have a problem because of Trevor

Bauer. So fuck those teams. I don't care who wins the NLCS. Fuck the Trash Rows. Houston's not a city either. It's just parking lots. The only team that there is

any moral support warranted is the Red Sox. Sorry, everybody. Yeah. It's a hard sell considering Boston sports fans. It's a fun-ass Sox team, though. It is. It's a fun-ass team.

It's a team full of sluggers. No defense. No defense. You don't need defense when you win two Grand Slams in one game. First time that's happened in postseason history. Kike Hernandez, i love that dude and and yeah so the socks are fun and um you know what nick nick pavetta has got a chance to get a ring um which he never would have had on the phillies so uh uh just to show that this kid whose development stalled in Philadelphia suddenly is now a serviceable major league pitcher on the Red Sox. Shows a lot about the Phillies development staff.

And I think the one last thing about Phillies I could say is they're basically clearing house when it comes to development and hitting coaches and all that stuff. So, good. Dave Dombrowski, just fire them all. Yeah, honestly. I'm just like, it's so funny, too. I was just thinking about the Sox because, like, this pitching staff is, like like you could charitably say

cobbled together yeah like obviously avaldi is is a stud and yeah you know whatever but like and chris sale but then you get like like you're going down the rotation you're like oh yeah josh taylor pitches for the red socks yeah um man yeah it's it's uh like adam adovino is still in the majors yeah pitching for the socks like it's just dudes it's just a bunch of dudes we're like all right you guys throw the ball and we'll hit 28 home runs a game and that's how we win this. American League Baseball is its own thing. Like, is its thing because of the designated hitter. Probably won't be that for long. Because I think we're probably going to get the DH next year. Universal.

That's its own discourse. Yeah, I love AL Baseball. Big pitchers hit. Fuck it. Big pitchers hit. Yeah. I mean, it is kind of fun when Make pitchers hit. Fuck it. Make pitchers hit. Yeah. I mean, it is kind of fun when a pitcher can hit. But then you don't get to see dudes like David Ortiz.

Yeah. Or J.D. Martinez. Yeah. Or J.D. Martinez. Yeah. It's so fucking fun, too, because I was talking to Roswell this the other day. Baseball is the only sport where you can, besides football,

where those dudes are like 400 pounds of muscle, you can actually be like a little chunky and i was like if they gave us enough training like we could both be serviceable third baseman um oh yeah well once i found out that uh what's his name was it dan vogelbach uh he's a 5 foot 10 260 pound first baseman what it's like shit like i missed my calling oh yeah i could have done that right yeah he's like and he's like a righty like i'm taller than him by an inch like like uh like i literally could have done that um if i had paid enough attention when i was a kid i probably could have been that kind of uh guy uh there was a guy Rowdy something. Rowdy Tellez.

I was watching the Brewers game and I fell in love with Rowdy Tellez. What a name. What a build. Oh yeah, he's another one. He's just another. He's a chunky lad. And there's another guy. I think it was on the Orioles, I want to say.

Ronnie Tellez is Jewish? Oh. He's not the only Jew on the Brewers then, because what's his name? The Hebrew Hammer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm Googling Orioles fat guy. Because I know who he is. He's like a pinch hitter.

No, that's not working. The best baseball players of all time. Yeah, the guy's like Prince Fielder. Prince Fielder, yeah. Who's his name? The guy who was a pitcher played over the place.

Big Sexy. Yeah. Baseball is good for that. Base like baseball is fun and for no other reason you can see a dude who like would not be allowed at any other sport like feel like playing second but like playing outfield yeah yeah yeah uh g man choi on the race he's another guy he's he's just a large fellow and and uh i love it it's it's you should be a lot there should be something for for for us large uh our large adult sons to play yeah i'm too old for football yeah uh my knees are gone yeah uh hey you give give

give me a year of uh training and and maybe I could do it. Well, they don't do 40 rounds anymore in baseball. They should, man. They really should. I want to get drafted. Yeah, bring back the Appalachian League. Bring back the Pioneer League. I mean, they still exist, but they're not – They're not at my house.

Yeah, they're like college with bat leagues now. So that's baseball. Do you have any other thoughts on baseball or do you want to move on? Let's move on. All right. So, yeah, in terms of the – I don't know if there's any dumb takes that you heard. You had one about actually screens are running the ball, which – Oh, yeah.

No, they're not. So, the former president of the Philadelphia Eagles, Joe Banner, who is a massive asshole. Just a giant dickhead. He's on Twitter. He's a chud, too. Just a shit. And he was saying... And I believe he was being critical of the Eagles, but he was saying, well, you know,

when you count it, you can't say they're not running the ball because screenplays are running. That's part of the running game. It's considered an extension of the running game. they're not running the ball because screen plays are running. That's part of the running game. It's considered an extension of the running game. And it's like, it's not running the ball, though. It's not the same thing. It doesn't have the same effect.

That's stupid. Like, no, that's not running the football. And when people say, hey, we got to run the football, that's not what they mean. They don't mean more screens. No. They mean less screens. And I just feel like this team's never been good at screens. I mean guess what under andy rita was but not you know not the last couple years

um especially like the last two um but yeah joe banner dumb takes um i gotta start listening to wip more for some for for some, yeah, we've got to judge ourselves to psychic torture. Yeah. Um, or, or worse or worse listening to the fanatic. Philadelphia has, those who don't know, we have two sports radio channels.

WIP is definitely the better. Um, I like a lot of the hosts on WIP. Um, they, they, they, there's actually some good podcasts that come out from them.

Um, you know, they do takes, but you know, they know that they're, it's, it's kind of like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Mike Missonelli on, on, on the fanatic. Um, all I'll say is that a, um, a black Philadelphia Flyers fan called in, fan called in and was trying to tell him about how, you know, you know no there is there is a racial aspect to to hockey fandom and that he has been made uncomfortable as a flyers fan as a black flyers fan going into certain flyers bars that he's never felt going to an eagles bar um and

missanelli just was like oh oh, that's – come on. That's not true. Philadelphians are like that. Yes, they are. Yes, they are. That's like the dumbest take all the time. So Missanelli is an idiot. And I don't know if that's a bit or not.

If that is, it's a bad bit. So speaking of bits oh all right um so yeah we didn't get any negative feedback about um shitting on father judge so um that's if they if those kids could write they'd be very bad yeah you know they exactly uh this this can't stop me because i won't read. Yeah, you know, exactly. This can't stop me because I won't read. So, yeah, you know, if you see someone who went to Father Judge or – When you're visiting them in prison, yeah. Yeah. And they'll be in protective custody because they'll be police officers.

They will be, yes. Yeah. When you see the judge alum you know from the neighborhood ruthlessly beating up a 10-year-old black kid, right. Yeah, right. That's Father Judge. So just keep your distance. They scare easily. They get startled.

They do. Anything to do with books, just it's going to be dangerous. You can hold it up like a crucifix to a vampire. Right. It really pisses me off. Apparently, Father Judge, like a lot of the teachers from North Catholic, when it closed, moved to Father Judge, which
