He is actually going to eject a fan.
Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things.
The fan jumped into the penalty box area.
Joy it is to come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge an ice ball.
We, the Dallas Cowboys, had a sense of the time.
And we are live.

Another voice to spring up.

But I am parts of both.
Yeah.
I've said before I'm a certified mensch so um i guess that counts as enough liam's not here i could i could do the voice the entire

yeah so this is this is i just immediate like that like haha i got you motherfuckers you got
the download liam's not on this episode.
No, Liam is at an undisclosed location. He's
probably on a plane right now
transiting
some body
of water or body of land.
I can't say where.
If you listen to
the bonus that we
recorded last night with Jordan from, uh, Bring Them Young Money, you will know. So if you want to know where Liam's going for vacation, feel free to become a patron and listen to the bonus episode, um, which will probably be out sometime this, it'll be out before the month's out.

Yes. Do you want the surname there censored?
Sure. Yeah, we could do the surname censored. No, you know, keep it up because I have to have some proof that I am at least proportionally Irish compared to Liam.
Yeah, he added, he's doing Mick Anderson. That's cultural appropriation. He's just trying to sound more Irish.
That's fine. He's bringing the Mick back into he's he's de-anglicizing the name
which i am all for well it's you know since when has a swede ever you know made made their way to

Patreon.com slash 10,000 losses,
where you get all our bonus episodes and access to the discord of which,
of which you are one of the admins.
Uh,
yeah,
I'm still,
I still don't know what that entails.
I'm sure we actually have some very stringent rules of conduct
that
I'm sure some of the admins
will eventually break on our own
at some point.
But when I check the Discord,
I'm here to keep it in check.
Or just spam
unrelated sports teams, whatever
else cares about within it.
Yeah.
Basically, to mute Charlie,
if he starts posting anime girls.
We can't have that going on.
You can post anime guys.
That's fine.
Yeah.
Picture my favorite genre memes where Goku is Muslim.
Those are my favorite.
Alhamdulillah, Goku has rejected Shuriken and embraced Islam.
I've had this conversation about 20 times over the last couple of weeks on the topic of anime girls.
So I'm in my mid-30s and I come from like the punk background of things and there was a brand of skateboarding apparel called Hookups.
And in the early 2000s, they were doing busty anime girl t-shirts, which was way before its time. time um i'm not gonna say it was respectful but it wasn't like particularly like it wasn't uh
it wasn't like nudity it was gratuitous but i was i was just thinking i was like the shirts
you definitely couldn't wear today at all i mean you could but i wouldn't but but at the same token
i was like they were way before their time in pop culture of what people wear inappropriately on a regular basis.
Oh, geez.
I'm looking these up.
Yeah, this is some body pillow shit going on with some of these.
They had great skate decks.
They had great skate decks.
Like, they were – that's a good sports movie that would be totally unrelated that we could watch
at some point which is Grind
which was a
it's
applicable to us because it does
feature Bam Margera
as a prominent character playing himself
in the movie
and it's just very
but it's a time and place movie.
It's like Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift.
Like only in that year could that movie be made.
Um, and I think there's some fame, other famous people in that movie.
I hardly forget.
I hardly remember.
I'm, I'm Bam Margera.
This is, this is getting out of jail cause I'm rich.
No, this is Bam Margera. This is getting out of jail because I'm rich. This is Bam Margera.
I'm going back in jail now because I threatened my family.
I'm going to rehab and I'm also going to take some time to threaten my family members and go back to jail.
That's the update on that saga right now.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, if you listen to people who grew up in Westchester, I mean, he was always insufferable.
Like he was just a rich kid that had no consequences growing up.
And you know,
like just,
yeah,
he's an asshole.
He connected with like in the world of like pseudo emo drifting into black
metal stuff.
He somehow found like the most insufferable people that weren't Nazis that do that.
Yeah, at least they weren't Nazis, yeah.
No, they were just like – the guys from him were like notoriously like never ate, only smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol and hit on 17-year-old girls.
Like that's what they were famous for.
I guess Steve – well, Steve, isn't he like a born-again christian now
uh not more he's just sober um he's just sober he's been sober steve-o like i have critical
support for steve-o and what are you doing right now because he's still steve-o but um also um
because he he's uh on the train of fuck bill maher um because because he was gonna have an
interview with bill maher and steve-o goes he was going to have an interview with Bill Maher and Steve-O goes,
cool, man, I'll have an interview with you, but you can't smoke weed.
Like I can't have you smoking weed in the same room as me.
I've been sober for like over a decade and like I don't touch that.
And Bill said, well, no, I, you know, this is what I do.
This is the format of the podcast.
Steve-O was like alright fuck you then like
I'm just not doing an interview with you
Um
And it's I was like fully
On the side of Steve-O in this case
Like yeah
That probably explains why the
Steve-O episode of the Adam Friedland
Show was so bad cause
Cause no one was drunk or
Inebriated.
All right.
So this is, well, we're both really tired.
I'm tired because of my job.
You're tired because you had to commune across the state of New Jersey.
Yeah, communing. Communing is the proper
word for it. Had to commune with the
state of New Jersey. Wow, I'm great today.
I'm great. I'm so fucking tired.
No, I literally
left the office in
New York at 3 o'clock
and it's now
6.45 and I got home
maybe 20 minutes ago.
The path train schedule runs purely on vibes.
And the vibes are like, what is the most inconvenient time that we can send these trains?
Like, it's like right when you're about to get on the train like people
need to get on the train the train will be leaving but then when everybody is piled up to like max
capacity where not everyone can fit on the train and then they all also hit traffic that's when
we're sending the train for the path it's it's so inconsistent and then everybody has to fight
the city of newark and something is happening at the Prudential Center tonight.
And the city of Newark is 90% parking lots at this point.
So we're all fighting through one city,
which has one exit to a major highway,
which goes into the tirade of,
this is what Philadelphia could very well become.
I can't wait.
I can't wait for the lack of SEPTA trains, unless Josh, like we said before recording,
Josh Harris personally decides to fund SEPTA for the year.
I don't know.
It looks like it was the Devils playing the Capitals of preseason hockey.
That's why You
And that's very convenient because it's like
I mean like well
Devils that's their home team but like
The Capitals that's
It's DC it's just Josh Harris
Is two cities that he owns
Teams in are Philadelphia
And DC two teams in
Desperate need of
Actual public transportation that that
gets you anywhere basically yeah um and is he actually gonna never do anything about it or
actually advocate for it no because he i don't know he's an idiot at the same time. This is just a dumbass. Rich, rich dumbass. Like the like they almost all are.
And we're, you know, things are great, you know, here.
It's it's not it's and it's actually not a slow sports week.
You know, we're finally back in the swing of things with we got the NFL.
We got college football right now as we're recording recording on Wednesday.
So probably go out tomorrow,
we have a soon-to-be major hurricane
bearing down on basically Florida and Alabama.
It's predicted to be a tropical storm strength storm
when it's in the Tennessee Valley.
So, of course, lots of things in Georgia are closing down, in the area are closing down in anticipation of this weather emergency.
But not the Atlanta Braves.
The Mets are playing the Braves this
coming up on
on the
this Wednesday's game is
apparently scheduled to be played and I guess
I guess they're
I don't know what they're going to do
the team is still going to try and play the games
there's ways you can cancel the game
and still like call it
there's tiebreakers and stuff like that.
But no, they want to try and keep the games playing
because I guess they want to make money
and they don't care if anyone dies getting to or from the game.
72-hour game.
You just play an inning during every break in the storm.
Yeah.
We'll play when the eye is overhead.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
You get as many innings in as possible when the eye is overhead. Yeah, exactly. Get as many innings in as possible when the eye is overhead.
And then
when it drifts, you just
wait for another
maybe cloud break.
And then
basically just have one game
and you break up by who won
each inning. That's how
it should be played right now. We're talking about how to make
sports more interesting. I think that's how they should play baseball in the middle of a hurricane.
Yeah, the
right now, so it looks like
we do have a change. Breaking news.
The rest of the games of the Mets are going to be scheduled.
So it's the game scheduled for today and tomorrow are now going to be
played hold on on Monday
as part of a double header
the day before
the playoffs fucking starts
so
fuck go nature
in helping the Phillies I hope
if we do pull this out, this off, uh,
I mean, the Phillies are, I mean, the Phillies could end up being like,
you know, beautiful Japan where they're saved by the Mongol horde.
The divine wind.
The divine wind.
The kamikaze has come to stop. Not that kind.
Prevent them prevent the Mongol
So the gods
The gods truly are on the side
Of the Phillies in this place
They just want their big dumb himbos to advance
The playoffs
Oh my god
And the royals are supposed to be
At the Braves on Friday
So Let me do some Liam wouldn't let me do this And the Royals are supposed to be at the Braves on Friday.
So let me do some... Liam wouldn't let me do this.
Let's pull up some weather radar.
Let's bring up the National Radar Mosaic.
And we're going to do that.
And yeah, let's take a look.
Yeah, it's already kind of getting nasty down there.
It looks like there's already some storms,
but they're probably not
part of the
part of the tropical storm,
the center of which looks like it's west
of
Cuba right now.
Pino Del Rio.
So yeah, the storm's predicted
to be there tomorrow. So I don't know what the fuck they're going to do with these Royals games either.
I mean, I guess you could just cancel those because they're AL games,
but they're interleague games, but I don't know.
Yeah.
If the playoffs aren't decided, according to Jason Stark,
they'll have to play a doubleheader.
So I guess they'll figure that out.
Yeah.
They could have called this a while ago.
They definitely could have figured this out.
But they don't care about this.
They just want to make the money.
So maybe the Truist Park will just sink it to the sea.
Sherman's March 2.
Sherman's March 2, Aquatic Boogaloo.
Yeah.
But speaking of that, yeah, so the Phillies have clinched the NL East.
We're just trying to get that first round by now with having the best record in the league.
The Phillies record. record in the league this record right now I think we're
93 and 65
in the National League
we are
we are kind of
tied with
the Dodgers have the best winning percentage
they play one less game
so yeah we'll see if they can pull that
off that'd be nice if they could
have the rest and then the fucking Mets have to, and or Braves.
Neither have clinched that list.
There's that playoff spot that we need to get.
But we'll see.
We'll see what happens.
This playoff picture's shaping together.
And I didn't realize how...
I know that the MLb playoff starts real quick
right after but my brain just every year doesn't really think about that
i i i mean i like look like i'm a pittsburgh pirates fan so by a certain point in the season
i just check the fuck out and then all of a sudden like i see you guys post uh red october memes for two weeks and i'm like oh yeah the
playoffs have started yeah and then i tune back in for a little bit and then and then say oh
wouldn't it be great if the pirates could be here um wouldn't be great if it was what 1990 what two what, 1990, what, two? And then I, again, tune off.
And then I go back to watching football for a little bit.
And I stopped caring about football because I'm a Jets fan.
Yeah.
And then, yeah, that's generally – it is. But it is very like – it's I guess like every sport I feel like –
like baseball, I feel like it's the longest sport.
Like I feel like it's always going on.
But it's – but it is like even with that, it's like very like quick.
Like regular season is done.
We're on to the playoffs.
Where like.
There's not that break and they don't like do that buildup.
Like NFL does all this buildup and shit that.
Oh, and the NBA drags at playoffs way too fucking long.
NHL does too.
Yeah.
I mean, NHL is the truest thing of, I feel i will to the players truly hockey never actually does end
because a lot of players play like euro leagues and other divisions and stuff like that in the
off season um but like the nba i feel like as soon as the season's done, there is what, like three months before games start up again, maybe.
And during that time, it's just, you know, it's quick trade, quick trade, quick trade, and they're back to practice.
So, but I do think that baseball kind of does it right where, but like also it's like, okay, is like, what would you have?
Like a AL, NL All-Star game?
Is that before
the playoffs? I think in any sport
that'd be the one where the owners would be like
absolutely not.
We're not going to do a true mid-season break
or cut back on games
so that our players can go play for someone else
at this point in time.
Especially
because
I think at that pace every pitcher in the league at this point in time. Especially because, you know,
I think at that pace, every pitcher
in the league at this point is
teetering on blowing out some
joint in their elbow or shoulder.
Oh, yeah. Everyone's hurt. I mean, it's
a fucking marathon.
That's why they just do the home run derby.
Nice, safe.
You get some little league coach
to pitch out balls and just put balls in the machine and see how
far you can hit them
yeah no thankfully the
the all-star game
is mid-season
it's actually if you mathematically I think it's like
point it's either 0.45
or 0.55 wait I can't remember
what it is and I don't want to think about the
all-star break because the Phillies sucked ass for a month after it.
So
let's talk about
football. So the
Eagles won one out against the Saints.
I did not see the first part
of the game. I had to catch up. Liam was texting
me. I was at a food truck festival against my will.
Sure.
Surely against your will yeah yeah well
the meat wagon is good so um no i i uh i was i was at i was at this food truck festival i had to
walk a fucking half mile doylestown's uh central park which does not have any trees to get there
is that the one with the castle the kids's castle yeah yeah that that one yeah there's
no coverage it's except for a giant literal castle that's four stories that are made for
children to get lost in uh and and then me to climb up yeah me to climb up and find a five-year-old
um who's a literally a fifth of my size. And the building's built for her.
And that's what that whole thing is.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's where children go to, like, learn how...
Like, that's where you...
Like, the kid's castle, I feel like,
that's like a social experiment.
Like, that's like...
Anthropologists could use it to figure out how pre...
Like, humans interact at pre-civilization.
I remember, like, you like you form like quick social groups and you like
suddenly because I'm on this side of the castle
and you're on that side of the castle like now we're enemies
I always
feel like it's more of anthropology to see if
like if kids are just left alone who's gonna
survive and who's gonna die
like I feel trust that my kids will
at least survive for a while
because they don't come looking for us for at least 40 minutes um i i know i know your your
one kid will very quickly assert dominance would just start just kick fucking this 300
kicking the kids in the pit like this is sparta it's yeah my younger my youngest is is still like
she's she's one in anything she is i'm the star and uh i don't care about this i don't care about
it but if you're in my way i'm going through you like you're going to die i will will find a way or make one. Making one's actually fun.
I'm highly focused on
making my own way.
I'm not focused on following the
rules that you have laid out for me.
If you fall three stories off the kid's castle,
that's your fault for
not being better at the kid's
castle. You should be better at
existing here. you should have stood
your ground this is a this pennsylvania's to stand your ground state and i'm on a castle
little castle doctrine is in effect and then there's even sidelines saying shay that's not
legal precedent yeah as you just as you just watch the third kid just take a 30-foot drop.
That kid, yeah, that'll, you know.
They're zoned for CB East.
They got enough kids there anyways.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that'll buff out.
That'll buff out, yeah.
Yeah.
You don't need your growth plates yet.
No. Yeah, so the Eagles, speaking of the Eagles, so yet. No.
Yeah, so the Eagles,
speaking of the Eagles,
so Eagles.
Eagles.
I get this weird thing where I burp, hiccup,
and cough at the same time.
That's probably
what's going to kill me.
Oh, there's the hiccup.
This is the world's first hiccuping podcast.
So yeah, the...
This is great.
I'm hiccuping now.
Great.
The Eagles won.
So Liam's texting me like,
fucking kill Jalen Hurts.
Kick him off the team.
Bench him.
In that order.
This sucks. And I finally get back. Ich him. In that order. This sucks.
And I finally get back.
I catch up.
See what happens.
And yeah, we're kind of holding defensively.
But things finally opened up when we decided to let Saquon Barkley run the ball
and not let Jalen Hurts throw interceptions or fumble.
I mean, the Saints were looking good.
I'm actually surprised the pass rush showed up,
but overall, it looked like it was
not as bad a game
as Liam was making it out to be.
I'm trying to look at the
quarter-by-quarter breakdown
because if you just
pull up the raw stats and didn't watch the
game, Jalen Hurts
is still 29 for 38 with one interception and 311 yards.
Yeah.
Like that's – now granted, from what I understand,
that was mostly in like the second half.
Right.
And I mean the score kind of shows that because all the points were scored.
Like the saints had a
field goal in the first quarter and then philly scored 15 in the fourth yeah and so it truly is
like i i don't know i i was i was talking to someone else about it the other day and it's
one of those things where and i know you spoke about it in the last podcast, where this just doesn't seem to be the existence of a game plan and offensive coordinator whatsoever.
Like the whole concept of you have to balance run and pass or everybody's going to come hit your quarterback who is a scrambler.
And will fumble when you hit him.
We know this like that's it seems it seems pretty clear like it's like oh it's like oh third quarter it's like okay yeah maybe we're gonna
actually have a full end-to-end game plan on how we do this and oh what do you know it's all of a
sudden successful yeah i i i would love to know like how much because i know they said they took
the game the game uh plan away from sirianni but he's still the head coach so i wonder how much
interference that is and like and like halfway through the game do we do we change that
um but you know at the end of the end of the end of the the day the defense held the pass rush
that was dead finally showed up and we were able to secure
able to secure the win you know and saquon barkley is really good right now he's he's
leading the league in rushing yards um i i no more of this like dumb dumb cute shit when you're in
the uh in the red zone like when it's when it's you know third and goal like just to give it to
saquon limp limp out of it.
Yeah.
Why would you not use him in that role?
I don't know.
Now I'm on a Nick Sirianni rabbit hole just real quick.
I didn't know he went to Mount Union.
Played football for Mount Union in New York, Division III school.
He doesn't really have much experience at a high level of ball.
No. It's very much he was just like, I mean, he had a stint as the offensive coordinator
for the Colts and then just became a head coach, basically.
Yeah.
Yeah, he coached at Mount Union.
He coached at IUP, I think.
And then he got hired at the Chiefs.
And he just worked his way up relatively
quickly through the ranks um he he does look a little younger than he is he's like 43 but he's
still pretty young for a head coach um and but it's all it's it's you know how incestuous the
fucking nfl coaching is you know it's always you know oh well you you work for frank reich we like frank reich
okay let's hire you like it's it's uh we we need to hire we need to hire a coach uh and we just got
a call from bill belichick um uh to say don't hire this uh person hire this person oh hey these
these two guys happen to be the only black guys that are on the
that are there and it seems bill belichick is hand picking who them maybe there's something
problematic about that no no yeah he's a he's a he he's i i mean look i'll just say this. When he was offensive coordinator for Frank Reich,
Frank Reich called the plays and would let Sirianni call the plays.
So I don't know.
I don't know.
Liam was saying on the last episode,
it would be nice if we sucked ass just so that
Sirianni lost his job. I think
you got to get rid of him at the end of the year. There's no reason
to have him. He's not a particularly good
coach. He seems like a
fucking idiot.
It's Philadelphia.
We have a proud tradition
of tanking in order to make the
team better. Trust the process.
Yeah, that's never gone wrong.
That's never gone wrong at all.
Yep.
It's working great for Washington right now.
You know, the commanders.
What's their current situation right now?
They are...
Oh, they're 2-1.
2-1? No, no. Are they? they're 2-1. 2-1?
No, no.
Are they?
That's preseason.
They are 2-1.
But they – I mean, they beat the Bengals 38-33.
Yeah, and they beat the Giants.
Well, okay.
Okay, yeah.
Well, yeah.
That's just two turds, you know, insert my comment about like,
it's,
it's,
it's like,
well,
how do the,
even the Eagles are like,
not great.
How do they make it to the playoffs?
It's like,
you're,
you're in the same fricking division as the commanders and the giants.
So basically got two teams.
You just,
that's what kind of wins.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Although the, the, yeah although the uh the
commanders love to steal a win from us uh some bullshit uh every year excuse me um well but you
know think speaking of underdogs i want to i want to i want to i'm so happy right now i want to
just celebrate so happy right now. I want to celebrate. I got it back.
I'm going to sing the whole thing.
Oh, it's still going. The Temple Owls have their first win against Utah State.
Definitely a ranked team
like five years ago.
They just
fired their head coach over
what was it?
Something like
Utah State. We talked about it last
night on doing the bonus.
He was
trying to do his own investigation into
domestic violence
a victim of domestic violence
from one of his players or something like that
I'll say
the HR policy on that
strictly speaking is hey don't
fucking do that we got people for this
yes
we have people trained to do this please don't do
this yeah now i'll say uh i won't say in his credit but uh given the history of the ncaa and
maybe maybe certain politics in the state of utah in a different scenario i might trust a head
football coach uh honestly looking in domestic violence um or any sort of predatory violence
more than administration in the state of Utah.
It's Utah State?
Yeah, it's Utah State.
If it's BYU, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just looking at Temple's schedule.
I'm glad they won.
I am.
I'm still wondering, like, losing to Coastal Carolina and Navy.
Yeah, the Navy game was an embarrassment.
I mean, Navy's 2-0.
Well, it was 2-0.
What's Navy now?
I hate that.
Mission 2-0.
They still 2-0?
Oh, wait.
Let me see.
Navy.
They're second in the conference right now.
They're 3-0.
They beat Memphis 56-44.
Jesus Christ.
So is Army.
Yeah, we're playing Army next, and Army is undefeated.
I think we should bring – Army is not that good.
Our defense has been playing better.
Temple Owls, they started off the game bad.
They were playing poorly on offense.
Defense has actually been decent all year.
The line has been pretty good.
Secondary has actually been okay.
Maybe not getting as many picks as they should have,
but they've been definitely breaking up some plays.
But the offense wasn't clicking.
And then come the second quarter,
it just, I don't know,
they adjusted something.
Evan Simon was getting,
he was starting to break loose.
You know what I think it was
that started was that
the Maddox Trujillo 65-yard field goal,
which is the longest ever at the link.
I think it's like second or third longest ever in NCAA history.
And I think that really changed stuff.
And that made the team, I guess, just get inspired.
They score 17 points in the second half to answer Utah State.
So that goes in a pretty even match into the halftime.
And then Utah State only scored again right towards the end.
We scored 28 points in the second half.
Evan Simon looked like he was just a master.
And he was to pick up the ball and running looked like he was just a master.
And he was to pick up the ball and running when the guys weren't getting open.
There was a 91-yard touchdown pass that was fucking amazing to Dante Wright,
who's looking pretty good.
But yeah, no.
The Temple Owls look good.
I'm shocked.
I'm shocked.
We'll see.
We got Army, then UConn.
Army is, oh, I think we have a Thursday night football.
So when this comes out,
it'll either come out tonight or tomorrow night.
But yeah, no, we'll see how the Owls play against Army.
They are home.
So maybe some home cooking will be good.
How far are we from West Point, though?
Yeah, only like two hours.
Yeah.
Two, three hours.
That's the weird thing about Army, Navy, and Temple.
It's like all these schools are not that far, far from each other.
No, it actually makes sense to be in a conference together because we're
close by as opposed to
UTSA or
some of the other teams in the American.
Oh, Mountain West.
Everybody's kind of rehashing
the pack, but as
a Boise State fan,
I also have to remind people of why boise state never
actually joined the pack 12 which was uh uh the the pack at the time was trying to make california
teams take tv priority over local broadcast um and was trying to make a vast majority of games for Boise State being played in California.
So like – but I don't know.
Every time I look at the conferences in there, I'm just like,
eventually we have to get to regional conferences.
Like it has to be like split up.
Yeah.
Like it just doesn't make sense it's gonna
happen again it's gonna happen again or or football is going to become its own thing we were talking
about this on the bonus like football should become you know the college football league and
and then everything else is going to go back to regional conferences
it's gonna it's gonna have to especially for the other sports especially with with was it title
nine or with how you you have to you have to balance the number of women's events uh it's
title nine yeah it's title nine i mean it i abolished the ncaa um first and foremost but like honestly if you take you run one rule set about like
scholarships and funding and all the other shit like across division three two and one basically
you just create like a like a tiered league system like they have in every other sport
internationally mainly soccer and hockey and baseball and basketball and everything else like that
and just take like that i it it has to go that way at a certain point in time yeah um
it it's just there's there's too much confusion about it and like for their own like like take
it out of a context of like what's i get like what's morally correct
like at a certain point it's going to start hitting pocketbooks because people are just
going to stop freaking watching yeah that that that it's good it's going to have to change it's
just untenable and you say it's going to be pocketbooks that's what's going to that's what's
going to it's going to be traveling expenses yeah, for like the, the fencing team.
Yeah.
You know,
and,
and that the,
the college,
like the,
the,
the football expenses,
like we already know like what they are and it's,
it's,
it's going to have to change at some point,
like you said.
Yeah.
Okay.
I got,
I got a question for you.
We're going to,
we're going to go into actually before we do that, then I'll ask you the question. he's going to redshirt
um and change universities next year because you went he he alleges that unlv did not fulfill a
verbal promise of 100 grand in nil money he's only gotten three grand. Removing expenses.
Yeah, and the
team
is saying, well,
the NIL collective is like, well,
we weren't told that
this is what
it was, but...
Well, UNLV doing
corrupt recruiting practices?
No, no, never. You know, UNLV like, had to be UNLV. Like reading through it, it was very much like they were, they had like verbal offers that would amount up to $100,000. And I would say that like that's important.
It's not like they were just going to give him $100,000 to play.
It was like appearances, moving fees, things like that, likeness and whatnot.
And that was over the course of a year essentially.
Right.
And that's important.
Like I think some people will hear it and be like, oh, well, he's like a hundred, like three grand. That's still a lot of money for a college kid. paid for the time he gets put into it right now.
And frankly, if you're in this sort of situation and kind of the system of it,
I mean, I would love to be able to –
someone to give me another perspective on it.
But like in this, like if I am Matt Skuka,
like if I'm at my employer and they said my salary is X and they pay me what, 3% of that?
Right.
I'm going to leave like at the end of the day.
Like if it wasn't hard on paper.
But the other aspect of it is like these children are coming into this nil stuff and they
think everything's set up for them but there is no like sort of legal protection or anything or
legal help like to make sure it says like make sure you get a contract yeah and i think that
this is all like wild west this is the scenario here like and they did offer, they did end up offering, they ended up formally offering him three grand a month for four months.
Which, again, that's still not a hundred grand.
Why, you know, oh, well, the defensive coordinator made the offer, not the head coach.
Okay, well, you're still recruiting.
Like, you're still making the verbal offer.
That still should be, you know, you should you're still recruiting. You're still making the verbal offer. That still should be...
You should be held to that.
But there's no...
The way these collectives work,
the way...
It's so convoluted
that this kind of shit's going to happen.
I'm not surprised
it's happened already,
but in this case, UNLV was looking at
making a run, and he's played really well this year, now he's like fuck you i'm gonna retain my eligibility i
can't play for another team until next year i'm gonna take my services elsewhere and i i mean i'm
glad that he's able to do that they they were there was dishonesty in recruiting him. You know? There definitely needs to be, like, I mean, like, this is very Madden manager brain.
But, like, how you basically have, like, on player recruiting, like, the offer of things are, like, it should be just, like, maybe not publicly posted for everybody to see, but for you to see when you make your decision to go somewhere.
The team should be like, when I go to choose UNLV versus USC or Boise State or something like that. I do like how I picked three teams that all have their own unique corruption scandals and involvement in the pack, whatever number it's going to end up being.
But there should be – Boise State is offering you X.
UNLV is offering you Y. and like like like create a player logic in Madden
has
better
logic
and disclosure
than the actual NIL
right
like
to the point
you don't even need new software
you could just rip that
from EA Sports
yeah
take the new college football
I'm going to promise my player
you are going to be
campus legend
yeah
that's what I'm promising you
yeah oh thanks coach for the I love I love those like little combinations my player, you are going to be campus legend. That's what I'm promising you. Yeah. Oh, thanks
coach for the, I love
those little combinations that come up
in CFB. It's like campus legend, the
big game. What does that even fucking mean?
Yeah, I'm promising you
I'm going to sway you to come to my school
for the big game.
For the big game. What's the big game?
Yeah, you know, the big one.
The big one. The big one you're going to play in.
Yeah.
I'm a sway you to come to my school for a 1986 Trans Am kind of runs most of the time.
Oh, that's only available to SMU.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They should get clever with it.
Like, you know, if you're going to Georgia Tech, you can drive the Ramblin the ramblin wreck like you get one drive and that's like part of it that's part of
the nil you know yes if you go to maryland you can drive ralph regent's old golf card
i don't know if i ever now this is a quick aside i don't know if i ever told that story
in this podcast but when i went to maryland football camp it was during the freesian years uh and freesian not a very mobile man very heavyset fellow um would just drive around campus
in his golf cart but he kind of couldn't really fit into it so he would just do the thing where
he'd have like one foot on the gas pedal and a hand the steering wheel and his other foot like
on the wheel well and just drive around talking to people like,
and you just see them just,
you just hear the golf cart like struggling as he's pulling up.
And I think that golf cart is still a Maryland.
I think they actually did save it because he was on it all of the time.
But yeah,
you recruited the Maryland, you get a, you're a crew to the Maryland,
you get a day in Ralph Regan's golf cart.
It's like the Stanley Cup, right? You get a day with it?
Yeah.
So
I got a question
for you. It's another football related question.
We talked about it.
I asked you by name
on the last podcast.
Can Tua
fight concussions with the art of jujitsu?
Can he grapple his way out of a concussion?
I'm pulling up my notes.
Here's the thing, and I think that has to be stated ahead of time, is there is an abundance of crunchy bullshit anti-medicine medicine that runs in like
all combat sports but specifically in jujitsu um there is like i'm going to talk about like the
actual scientific ish being things being studied right now of like guys that train jujitsu,
specifically because when you're training chokes and you are slightly cutting the blood away from the brain
and getting the refreshing, that action of anti-concussive like brain like reawakening or whatever there is a study to say that makes
the brain more resilient to impact um you can think of like if you have a bruise or like something
like if you are flushing blood in and out of it it's going to heal faster because there is an
aspect of that but in to his case it's the dumbest fucking thing i've ever
heard i mean like i was like what what's the end goal that when tua gets hit he's gonna pull guard
like on like it's like i i one of the guys that i train with who's about my size at this point, he was a quarterback for Penn.
Younger guy is a quarterback for Penn.
And myself as a division two walk-on wrestler, like when we roll,
I am – and being 10 years older than him,
I am still pretty usually getting the better of him.
And if you were to ask him, hey, was any of these skills actually poured over to football?
No, because football skills also are not going to go over to jujitsu.
There's no circle on the – there's no crossover on the Venn diagram.
There's no skill set.
Me having a real good swim move isn't gonna do me any uh any but like also you kind of saw it this year and how tua was taking the hits um where he was like
ducking his head and kind of curling his body which was what ended up giving him a concussion
where someone should have just said hey if you hit open field fucking slide like take a knee like take the
down you got your yardage if this is a concern of you so yeah as is normal like nfl fashion
it's like we're going to replace actual game strategy with crunchy fucking like anti-medicine
bullshit um on that note like if any other other quarterbacks want to start training jiu-jitsu
and enter master's divisions, I'd love, you know, Aaron Rodgers,
if you ever want to – I think we're about the same size.
If you want to start training with dudes in – I mean,
I know a couple schools in New York.
I'm sure Aaron Rodgers, Mr. Rodgers.
No, I'm not going to call him Mr. Rodgers.
If Aaron wants to start training jujitsu,
I can know some local tournaments he can show up to.
I promise I won't attack the hurt ankle.
Is that the same as the UNLV promise?
It's a paper promise.
Yeah, it's verbal. It's promise. Yeah. It's verbal.
It's a verbal commitment.
It's verbal.
It's on my honor
as a Jets fan.
I mean,
I know you wouldn't want to
go up against Jalen Hurts.
Oh,
no.
That would be a struggle.
I mean, I've gone up against guys that are as strong as Jalen Hurts,
like former powerlifters.
There's a certain like athletic archetype that would be absolutely disgusting
at jiu-jitsu for a very particular – and Jalen Hurts like matches that archetype.
Like if with the weight he's at now if jason kelsey even being older than me
started training jujitsu um started training jujitsu that would be very scary like that
would be he would atrociously mess up most people even at the black belt level just from sheer like
physicality um just for being a big guy yeah
tua does not match that though i mean two is a pretty physical guy but he is not that level of
physicality where he's going to like go and just like fuck people up at this point which is his
which is an issue you don't do that like um i know everybody kind of treats the the head coach
the dolphins as some sort of sweetheart because he's friends with Dan Soder, the comedian.
But like, dude, he's fucking up.
Like he's been fucking up pretty consistently the last two years.
Just because he's kind of a personable dude that's a bro and like down to earth kind of
slightly doesn't mean that he isn't making bad fucking decisions as a head coach.
Yeah.
He seems to be very like,
Oh,
well that's between like two and us.
And like,
you like it,
you know,
that's not you,
you guys don't worry about it.
Um,
I,
I,
you know,
we talked about this last week,
but yet now he needs to,
he needs to retire.
Just,
just take the money and get out of there. You know, I, that be on the IR the rest of the year. I, you know, we talked about this last week, but yet now he needs to, he needs to retire. Just, just take the money and get out of there.
You know,
I,
that be on the IR the rest of the year.
I just,
it's not worth it,
dude.
It's just,
it's,
uh,
yeah.
So I guess we can,
we need to put a point into it.
We could say that,
yeah,
the,
uh,
that does not work.
The,
uh,
jujitsu will not prevent the concussion somehow,
even if you try to, I don't know, grapple your way.
I'm just imagining someone trying to tackle him
and him just fumbling the ball and dropping down for a heel hook
and then totally rupturing some guy's ACL.
But as also the guy just steps down and cleats him right into his
shoulder,
ending both of their careers instantly.
That's the only possible outcome to this.
You're not going to,
you're not going to guillotine choke someone with a football helmet on,
especially because they're like this.
They're like astronaut helmets.
And shoulder pads too.
Well,
you bring back the cowboy collar, right? No. Like that, You're like astronaut helmets now. And shoulder pads too. Well, you...
The bring back the cowboy collar, right?
No, like...
That critical support
for bringing back the cowboy collar.
Yeah.
The...
I'm just imagining like,
all right, what martial art
would be effective?
Like if he's Taekwondo
and as he's about to get sacked,
he just fucking cleats someone
in the helmet,
but then his cleat gets stuck
in the helmet and then he just cleat gets stuck in the helmet
and then he just has no ligaments in his leg left.
Like, what are you going to do?
Are you going to judo chop a guy in the neck as he comes?
I just imagine like an awesome power.
Traditional judo Greco like throwing might be.
Like, that's your answer.
I mean, judo especially because the gi and the shoulder pads
but then most of the rules ban you from doing that shit in the shoulder pads like that'd be
holding calls all over how about the turkish oil wrestling where you have to like reach into a guy's
drawers i mean that's there's no rules there's no rules against that holding against that i know
some people who would watch that yeah yeah yeah that or that or he's just gonna get into hima you know they'll have the the
hema might like he just he just pulls out a fucking broadsword they're striking in hima
like he was a lot of grappling like there's a lot of wrestlers and jitsu guys that go into hima
because like because once you get in close range with the sword, it becomes a wrestling match.
So, like, I don't know.
Maybe he was the answer.
Return to tradition.
Yeah.
All right.
That's a good place to segue.
We got a couple DMs and voicemails today.
So, first one, we got...
I like that people are
starting to... really are starting to text
us. That's like the best...
That is... It's nice to have
it all in one place. That or the Discord are the best
places to do it now.
The... Alright, so we got the
DMs. Hello, Tom
and Yay Liam.
Not here today. This is Mo
from Canada. Pronouns he, him.
Just a quick note that the city of Halifax is getting a new franchise team in the Basketball League.
Formerly North American Premier Basketball.
And they have decided to call the new team the Hoopers.
It's the most Canadian basketball team.
You're going to watch the Hoopers, don't you know? The Hoopers. Yeah, the Hoopers. What the Hoopers going It's the most Canadian basketball team. I'm going to go watch the Hoopers, don't you know?
The Hoopers.

What the Hoopers going on about?
Yeah, which is a terrible name in my opinion.
Yeah, the Hoopers being,
having a boat being great.
I don't know.
I need to listen to some more Sidney Crosby interviews
and then just get my Halifax act.
You got your Hoopers toque on.
I can think of three more suitable names off the top of my head,
so clown on them for a line or two for me.
Cheers.
Love the show.
Keep it going.
We're already doing it.
Yeah, we got you.
Thanks, bro.
Thank you.
The Halifax Hoopers.
How about the Halifax Explosions?

Of care or something for me
The Halifax you know we had one
Good pop punk band in the 2000s
Yeah was
Halifax were that
That indie singer
Where she got killed by she's like the one of
Three people who's ever been killed by a coyote
Was that Halifax
Halifax I know the pop punk a coyote. Was that Halifax?
Halifax.
I know the pop punk band, but there could be another Halifax.
Taylor Mitchell.
Was that Halifax?
Yeah, she died in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Oh.
Yeah.
She was a country folk singer.
She's the only known fatal coyote attack ever on a human in Canada.
They believe that she tried to pet them.
Just look.
I mean, you're too close to Quebec.
The Canadian politeness does not go over to the wildlife.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Don't do that.
Yeah.
RIP.
RIP. This was in 2009.
Yeah.
Don't fuck with coyotes.
Yeah, we got some weird coyote-dog hybrids up here.
We got coyotes.
We got the whistler cats.
Those big giant ferret-looking things apparently got them here.
We got bears.
We do have bears now.
The whistle pigs?
We call them groundhogs here.
No, there's something else.
Next time I come back, I'll bring up some more about the weird animal
that's allegedly across the street from myself in Upper Bucks County.
Oh, boy.
We're getting hyper-local Bucks County lore here.
Yeah.
But yeah, we have – I mean, Upper in upper bucks county we have bears now yeah one got hit by a car yeah so maybe maybe the local news
yeah well there's a lot of them in north jersey sometimes across the delaware but um yeah the
we we were at we were at peace valley after dark one night um doing like a moonlight tour and you could
hear them howling and i was like yo is that for real someone like doing that as a joke and uh the
woman works for park she's like no that's like there's actual coyotes here i was like shit okay
cool good to know um i've never seen one during the day um not at peace valley but i have seen
i have seen them um up by likeville. I just was driving one day.
I saw like, holy shit, that's a fucking coyote.
What the fuck are you doing here?
I've been seeing foxes near me.
And I'll be honest, if I had one animal that would probably end up killing me because I tried to pet it, it would be a red fox.
It's just so darn cute.
Like, I know they're ferocious.
I know they'll claw and bite the crap out of you and probably give me rabies and I'll probably die.
But I see them walking down the road and I'm like, I want to help you.
I just want to guide you back to –
Why are you so adorable?
I want to find your little baby deer and skunk friend in the forest.
You want to go frolic in the woods.
Go frolic in a glade.
Go.
Go. Carry on. Go. Go.
Carry on.
Yeah.
All right.
We got another DM.
We got a hey, Tom.
Yay, Liam.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Yeah.
No, it's Patrick.
This is Fizz from Minnesota.
He, him.
First time poster.
First time poster. long time listener.
I can't believe the Vikings are coming off this strong this early
with three wins so far,
even though the only surprise really was the 49ers falling over.
Big oof.
Their defense seems to be kind of tough and have an okay offense.
I was wondering if they're going to start some trouble with some
for the other teams later in the season.
Uh-oh. Containment breach.
A bit early
the call for sure, but it will be
interesting to watch. Fuck Penn State,
fuck Green Bay, and go Birds!
P.S. Your podcast
helped me somewhat have a growing
interest in sports again after
vastly losing interest in it many
years ago. keep it up guys
and patrick is currently muted as we have a child he's stealing my candy go ahead deal with candy
as is tradition every time i'm on the children have to walk in actually you can have it okay
um that's sweet yes uh sorry i hit halloween candy uh here a year ago and i'm at the end of it
i need my children to steal the rest of it um you can have this if you want to oh thank you
there bring it upstairs i'll be up there in 10 minutes 15 minutes ish
yeah and brought the child with candy and she's out yep there you go mission accomplished yeah
um yeah like are the vikings good the vikings are one of those teams where i always want them
to at least be decent um like i have no reason to hate the vikings and because i feel like this
is solely an argument for green bay and Vikings fans to hate each other.
And every time I look at Green Bay or Minnesota, I'm just like,
I kind of just want – I'd like you two to just be –
at least one of you be decent every year,
which that would piss off both the Green Bay and Vikings fans at the same time
because you have to pick one.
I mean,
like the one thing is like the 49ers.
I mean,
our question is,
are the 49ers actually good this year?
Cause it seems like they're very up and down,
especially from that game in particular.
Especially with the,
like the,
the injuries and stuff they have.
Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, I think the 49ers are a solid team.
It does look like the Vikings might be making a run for it.
If we have this weird, like, one-sided hatred of the Vikings for some reason
because of, you know, a couple of years ago.
We talked about this episode, I think, like three or four episodes back.
I don't hate the Vikings.
I don't give a shit.
No.
I mean, you'll lose against us again in the NFC, maybe.
I don't know.
But yeah, no, I am glad.
It is a bit early to call.
I think they will be a decent team going forward.
They're not going undefeated.
But I also,
and I said this on the,
this was a Discord message.
I did say, thanks.
I'm glad that, you know,
I'm helping you like sports
because you should like sports.
Don't let the dumb sports betting
and bro bullshit get in your way.
We got one last DM.
It's a, hey, it's Rebecca from Illinois.
She, her, here's my question.
Should we bring back the Dodgers back to Brooklyn?
Yes.
Rebecca, phenomenal question.
I am Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont.
And I think that the Brooklyn Dodgers should have never left New York City.
It is a travesty of capitalism, and you are okay to want them back.
I want them back.
I think we are going to bring them back.
Bring the Dodgers back to Brooklyn,
put the Jets back in Shea Stadium where they belong.
That's my opinion of it.
And as someone, I think I told you before this,
I got to meet Sandy Koufax,
former pitcher for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers,
legend of the game, 1955 to 1965, one of the best pitchers to play it during the era,
and still alive and kicking at 88 years old.
Doesn't look 88.
I think Mr. Koufax would be appreciative to bring the Dodgers back to Brooklyn
since he was a Brooklyn boy.
Maybe he'll move back.
Yeah.
I mean, I know.
I found out where he actually lives at.
And so, you know, I don't know.
Why would you live there?
It's like a McDonald's.
It's like, I hate that.
That's probably why.
It's just remote.
I mean, like, look, the township I'm particularly in,
there's a ton of celebrities that live here, and I'm always –
and first I ask why, and then I'm like, oh,
no one's going to give a shit who you are here.
The remoteness is part of the allure.
But, yeah, I mean, definitely bring the Dodgers back to Brooklyn, I think,
and the Jets back to Shea Stadium.
I think, like, it's – I mean, like, at this point with Brooklyn,
like, if you actually built a place from the play,
you're just going to displace people with too much money and need to get the fuck out of Brooklyn anyways.
We're just going to displace the last of the dirtbag left.
Yeah. I think half the Chapp last of the dirtbag left. Yeah.
I think half the Chappell guys live in fucking LA now anyway.
Yeah.
I think it's – I literally think it's just –
Just Will.
Just Will Miniker lives in Brooklyn at this point.
Hell, like even most famous people have moved out of Brooklyn because they get recognized too much.
Yeah.
Yeah. brooklyn because they get recognized too much yeah um yeah i mean like yeah i no one who works
in manhattan actually like works works in manhattan actually still lives in brooklyn anymore
it's people with way too much money and time and they need a little adversity
just so yeah definitely and bring bring the dodgers bring the dodgers back to brooklyn
also we get east Coast Shohei Otani I'm okay I'm okay
I don't know how happy he'll be about that
but yeah I'm okay with that
excuse me
we got two voicemails we got one from
Wayne
one from Charlie I know Wayne was
apologizing for not having
called in for a couple weeks,
so let's listen to Wayne.
Hey, Tom.
Yeah, Liam.
It's Wayne.
Pronouncing him.
Calling to recap.
Everything that's happened in sports since the last time I called, I guess.
Currently, the New York Mets are within striking distance of the last wild card spot.
They've taken at least two out of the four games from the Phillies,
which is the absolute minimum that was needed.
Pete Alonzo may have just played his final game as a New York Met.
That remains to be seen on what exactly is going to happen.
But the Eagles managed to squeak a win out today thanks to high-end talent
such as Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts.
Meaning Sirianni gets to coach the Eagles for another week.
God help us all.
Flyers open up preseason hockey today playing the Capitals.
They beat them 6-2.
We're approximately three weeks away from the start of the NHL campaign,
as well as a couple weeks before the NBA season starts.
And Rutgers is 3-0.
They beat Virginia Tech.
And next week they'll have a massive home game against the University of Washington to open up Big Ten play because coverage realignment is that much
of a train wreck.
Anyway, go Rutgers.
And as always, fuck Penn State.
Thanks, Wayne.
Indeed.
Absolutely, fuck Penn State.
Thanks, Wayne.
Yeah, well, hey, shouts out to Rutgers, you know.
They'll see if you can beat Washington.
It's...
That's –
Yep.
Yeah.
I love you, Rutgers.
But Washington football is rather dominant.
That's all.
I'll leave it there.
And unfortunately, at the end of the day, you are still Rutgers.
Yeah.
You are still – I am still Rutgers, you are still Rutgers. Yeah. You are still Butkers.
All right.
Next, our next voicemail is from Charlie to give us our union update.
Hey, guys.
Hey, Liam.
Hey, Tom.
This is Charlie from Roxborough.
He, him, Philadelphia Union did take care of business at home against D.C.
United, winning 4-0 to stay in the playoff spot,
basically either ninth or eighth place,
getting goals from Ura, two from Gostag, and Ty Baribo,
and almost a goal from Kaven Sullivan late in the game.
Just, you know, the Union did come in, you know,
winning back-to-back games again.
You know, trying to round into some sort of form to get into season
and continue their bumbling into the playoffs.
Pretty much good as it gets at home.
Held it.
Gave up a couple big chances, but none of them went in.
Pretty much that would be the only news of the weekend,
except for the fact that Temple did finally win a football game.
They will not be going 0-12.
They did beat terrible, terrible Utah State.
Should have worn the Cal print hat and helmets.
It's just hitting a 64-yard field goal back-to-back weeks after banking
field goals off of the crossbar, 54, and now 64 yards.
Temple looking good.
They have to play Army.
Union are going to be on the road at
Orlando City
next Saturday.
They've got their second, most
decisive home game is going to be the last
home game against Atlanta in two
weeks. So we'll see
if they can keep the momentum up
and we'll see if Temple can
win maybe two football games of the season,
maybe let's not push our luck.
Later, fellas.
We have faith, Charlie.
We have faith.
We were 3-9 the last three years.
Maybe we can go 4-8.
I don't want to go 2-10.
It's all rise.
It's like a playlist.
It starts low and just rise, rise, rise, rise, rise from here.
Things can only get better.
I think things could get worse.
Yes, they could.
They could get worse.
We can't hit rock bottom.
We have not hit rock bottom yet.
No.
Keep Evan Simon in.
If they do this shit with Forrest Brock, no.
Evan Simon clearly is the guy.
He can be a quarterback.
He's got the composure and the ability.
Forrest Brock is not the guy.
Look, Temple, my only comment on Temple is Temple just needs to make the one year
where they break all the recruiting rules.
The one year.
No one's going to pay attention.
And then you win that year, and then you all the recruiting rules. The one year. No one's going to pay attention. And then you win that year,
and then you get the death penalty.
And you kill the franchise. You end on a
high note, and when
you bring it back, you're like, hey, remember all that
cool stuff we did for the players?
We can't do that anymore, but look how good we take
care of our players.
What every successful franchise for a college
football franchise has done.
Temple, you just, you know, you need to get
the, you know, what's
the Philly equivalent of a
85 Trans Am
to hand out the players?
Um, hmm.
What is the
probably like a 93 Honda
Civic? Yeah.
I mean, they could go full military sign-on bonuses, get everybody matching red and black Dodge Chargers.
Yeah, there you go.
Or cherry and white.
Cherry and white, yeah.
Act with a better look.
Yeah, that would actually go.
Or actually, you know what we feel like?
It would be like an ATV that you ride illegally down Broad Street against traffic.
Yeah.
I mean, you can go full Bucks County and just do that with the ATVs that are like the side-by-sides.
Yeah.
You can just do a side-by-side.
Yeah.
And then, well, then if you do a side-by-side, cops will think it's fine because it's what they see at home.
So, because if you ride an ATV down Broad Street, that's bad.
But if you're riding a side-by-side down 611, that's culture.
Yeah, that's just the Bucks County thing.
You wouldn't get it.
Yeah.
All right.
