Give us your name and pronouns or text it. You can text that number and I will get that. That's becoming popular. So let's get into the meat of this. Let's do it. Philadelphia Eagles.

We lost, uh, we lost the Buccaneers, um, 33 to 16. You don't have that proxy Taylor Swift magic anymore. I think that's the problem. Hmm.

No, no, that either that or Saquon Barkley is still too close to Penn state. Yeah. He's a six hour drive away. Yeah, he's a six-hour drive away. Yeah, that's a lot of negative energy there. I'm sorry. The thing, though, is that we can't be too sure

because you have to give Saquon the ball. And I don't know why we keep doing that. So this was like one of the worst starts the Eagles had. Although apparently the first drive was the best of the year, which was like, I think, seven yards. So it's first drive was the best of the year, which was like, I think seven yards. So it's the best first opening drive of the year. Starting strong.

Yeah. Starting strong. We were down 21, nothing in the first half. Baker Mayfield looked like a pro. We had Tom, Tom Brady. You could tell shit eating grin.

He was, he was the color guy. He was fucking loving it. I'm actually like, I don't mean to be a hater when it comes to philadelphia i love the eagles great great team all that but like i do think it's kind of cool that baker mayfield is having a bit of a career renaissance you know like he was so bad and i you know and i think what it is is that he's got himself away from cleveland mm-hmm that's good that's pretty good it's just cool he's gotten himself away from Cleveland.

That's good. That's pretty good. It's just cool. It's just cool to see. I'm not like big Baker Mayfield head, but I just – I like seeing stuff like that. I like good stories and that's a good one. It's just a shame it had to take place against my beloved – Sure. Absolutely.

Yeah. of it sure absolutely yeah um it's always like you like i went to the university of utah and we got thrashed this week by uh arizona and noah fafita who's a great quarterback but like it's like of course he has his two greatest throws of his career against against the university of utah it's like it's always how that shit happens you know or like i'm a i'm a utah jazz fan and like i could go off about like the the long list of just like randos who posted their career high against the utah jazz like a random tuesday in february where like michael red goes for 62 yeah yeah anyway i digress let's let's get back to the eagles yeah yeah no we'll get the college football the second um the the um although your last thing was about basketball but um yeah no uh

so tom brady being the color guy i don't have you watched any games with him with him being the color guy yet i've watched i've watched like so i would say that i'm kind of like a casual nfl guy like i don't necessarily have a team um i watch it when it's on but it's also like if i have shit to do like i'm not i'm not guy who's gonna spend six hours on a sunday watching football i just don't like i'm a dad i don't have that kind of time yeah but i've watched a little bit of him like i've watched a couple quarters i i don't think he's bad at all i don't actually i don't think he's quite i i don't think that he's tony romo who i think is actually legitimately very good in the booth like better than he was under center yeah um but you mean it's always like it's nice to have guys who legitimately know the game and are articulate enough to be able to talk about it

that's like 95 of the job of being a color guy and then like actually having some sort of personality behind that like you're not just either you're not a drunk or you're not uh you're not a robot like you do have you know some sort of sentience yeah and i think i don't know i think that he's done a good job yeah no he's he he's all right. I mean, obviously, you know, there's like the Philly hater that says he sucks. Sure, absolutely.

But, you know, an intelligent guy who's bringing some actual, like, experience. And also talk about the Bucs, too. I mean, he played for that team. You know, he kind of knows their offense. So I thought it was interesting. He did come up at one point where he said that, I don't know why they say it, but I don't hate Nick Foles. And I'm not sure. Are does that mean that he's got like really like huge beef with Eli Manning? Right.

Right. Yeah. Like everyone who beat him. Yeah. Like, I'm sure there's like some saltiness there. Like, that's the case. Like, you're talking about Tom Brady, a man who won, what, six Super Bowls and is like known for being maniacally competitive.

Yeah. I'm sure there's a little bit of sour grapes. I'm sure he would have loved to win nine instead of six. But I don't know. Yeah. It's all related to not shaking his hand at the Super Bowl. Which I could understand if you're that competitive and you get to that far. I'm sure he was just salty that he lost you know which like we could have a whole conversation about like classiness in sports which like i don't give

a shit like the whole classy thing i'm not a steakhouse i don't care you don't care if someone's wearing the wearing a suit jacket no i don't i don't care about classiness and like like you know i i operate out of the mindset like if you want somebody running up the score if you don't want somebody like throwing a touchdown pass with 37 seconds left in the fourth quarter when they're up three touchdowns that don't fucking let them throw a touchdown with 37 seconds left in the fourth quarter right yeah like you don't want you don't want anthony edwards like pointing and laughing and like you know catching lobs off the backboard then don't let him do that yeah yeah and and one of the one of the things that

apparently and i i have seen this is they they in the documentary about tom brady they in the in the call where nick foals catches the philly special philly special. They edited out Nick Foles' name. Oh, my God. So when Merrill Reese is like, Nick Foles catches the football, it just says, they just took the Nick Foles out. That's so funny.

That's really, really funny. So that's the conspiracy theory in Philly. Are you still salty about this? Because this just came out recently. And did you do this? Did they do this? Like, why would you? And NFL Films, that's like local.

That's in Mount Holly. That's in the suburbs of Philly. So yeah. Wild conspiracy. Yeah. So I don't know. I don't know about that. That's really funny, though. That would be very funny if it did come true that they were like trying to placate and please Tom Brady.

Yeah. Brady's like some capricious lord. It's like, no, I don't want his name ever remembered in my kingdom again. Do you know who I am? Don't you speak his name around me. I used to throw touchdown passes to Tom, to Randy Moss. Do you know who I am? Yeah.

They call me Touchdown Tom for a reason. Touchdown Tom, I went to Michigan. Now hand me my deflated football. This is my favorite character, Lord Tom Brady. Lord Tom of House Brady. I grew up in New England. We won after the revolution. And I set up a fiefdom for myself.

Yeah, I mean, he kind of did. Yeah. Well, speaking of the dynasty there. So Nick Sirianni, not our favorite golden retriever, but a golden retriever in human form. He's on, he's on the hot seat right now. And so Bird's Twitter is, is, and Reddit is urged. They want Bill Belichick to be the coach of the next coach of the,

the Eagles. And I don't know, I don't know how I feel about that. But I, I, I don't know. Bill Belichick as the Eagles coach, the guy who was once our sworn nemesis. That would be insane. Yeah, that he just comes back for the fucking Eagles. Bro, that would be like Nick Saban going to Arkansas.

Yes. Or like Nick Saban going to Auburn. Yeah. Or LSU. Like Brian Kelly's out, Nick Saban's in. Like he goes back to LSU. If Nick Saban did that, he would be assassinated. That would be, oh yeah, absolutely.

100%. Yeah. He'd be at a pep rally and like one of the Trump guys would actually like would actually connect. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They get them. So, yeah, I don't I don't I don't know how to feel, but I don't think that gets a fantasy fantasy. I think, yeah, that feels like a total fantasy. And I don't think Sirianni actually would get fired this year. I think if if we do sputter out and don't get far in the playoffs or don't make the playoffs i think i think he's gone but i don't think it's during the season but what do you

think is the actual chance of that happening like i understand that the eagles are you know a bit underwhelming right now it does to me and maybe this is just me being an outsider uh feels like they'll eventually gain their footing like they're just too talented of a team i feel like you know and they've also like they've had injuries and it's just it feels like you know sure they may not go i don't know 12 and 4 or or you know what is 17 games out 12 and 5 or something like that but it just feels like it would i would be pretty shocked if they ended up out of the playoffs. Now, does that transfer to, you know, a title game or a Super Bowl? Probably not. But you're still in the upper echelon of the NFL if you're making the playoffs.

Yeah, I you know, I if we don't like if we make the playoffs, but it's like another-round exit, I could see Sirianni going. But no, I don't think we're going to be a basement team this year at all. I just don't see it. Yeah, with injuries, Lane Johnson's hurt. Both of our good wide receivers are hurt. And it's a new offensive coordinator. Right. It takes time.

It takes time to get people healthy. You've got a new coordinator. Speaking from a guy from experience, I know we're talking about college football and it's not apples to apples. But again, University of Utah guy here and Kyle Whittingham, the head coach of the University of Utah's tenure as head coach for 20 years. He's had 10 offensive coordinators. You know? Takes a minute to get that chemistry and actually like learn a new system and, you know, plugging and playing new guys.

And, you know, I know I made the joke of Saquon, but he is legitimately one of the best running backs in the league. He's also a high usage guy, brand new guy in the offense in the offense like it's gonna it takes a little bit of time and i know that it's very cliche to preach patience but you kind of have to in a situation like this because there is a learning curve when it comes to these kind of situations yeah well i philadelphia sports fans well known for uh their for their patience and understanding and understanding and just like overall chillness yeah oh yeah um so let's stick it stick it on the topic of football let's go let's go to college football which is your or your barely what balawick um yes the tent that's that's the thing like i will actually

spend six hours watching uh college football like a absolute degenerate and it's interesting as i do find myself falling back of late to watching more college football um now i'm engaging with it more again then then the nfl like i love the eagles but i'm not i'm not like yeah what's the fucking chiefs ravens i don't really give a shit right yeah yeah yeah yeah but i'll put on random college football shit and like the worst the better and yeah like like i will say i'm and i think i'm a sucker for like the nostalgia and the rivalries a little bit of like the amateurism of it. Yeah. There's like,

there's like a romance to, to college football that I absolutely love. And then I'm much more hooked on than, than the professional game. And like, I will also say that Saturday is usually like my chore day. You know, I'm cleaning the house. I'm doing laundry, mowing lawns, you know, this and that.

And in that process, I've got college football on. Yeah. Whereas Sunday is usually like family day or I'm going out and doing something with friends. Like, I don't know. I guess it's just much more convenient anyway yeah no no absolutely well well so um i you know i have to suffer well hold on now we're going to be talking about the temple so let me let me hit the music oh no we didn't hear this one much on Thursday.

It's not a bad fight song. That is a good fight song. It is. It's a pretty good one. I don't know if you've heard it in full, but. You know, I haven't. I went to, I did go to a Temple game when I lived in Philadelphia. Yeah. So maybe I did hear it, but I can't say that I've spent a lot of time, you know, it's not seared in my brain like Utah man or Michigan or, you know, hail to the victors or something like that.

But yeah, that's it. That's solid. That's a good one. Yeah, no, it's a good, let's just say 42 to 14. We got beat by the triple option. We got still alive and strong. I understand the pain that goes into a four touchdown loss. I get that. I've been there, brother. Like both watching and participating and playing ball. Bitter pill to swallow.

But there is something that warms my heart about the triple option still being used and used well in the year of our Lord 2024. We still have. Yes, that Lord 2024. We still have. Yes, that's right. We still have full. We have two fullbacks. Yeah, I love I love it. Chop blocks. All of it.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, listen, man. I spent I spent 20 plus years having to play against Air Force. I know all about the triple option, brother. That was the game. Even if Utah was like a three touchdown favorite, I knew they were never going to cover that spread because of that goddamn

triple option. And they would always dominate the time of possession. And then like half our defensive line would go out with ankle and knee injuries. It was always just like, it was the worst game of the year. It's like the one game you like, you circle on the calendar knowing that it's just, it's going to suck.

And you're going to spend the next week in an ice bath. Yeah. The, the, the, yeah. So the, the Al's didn't,

didn't play well. We couldn't, we couldn't stop. We couldn't stop the triple option. We couldn't stop the attack. We couldn't. And even when they mixed it up for passing, we couldn't stop it.

Temple couldn't, Temple, which the last two games we won, it up for passing, we couldn't stop it. Temple couldn't... Temple, which the last two games, we beat Utah State the previous game, which maybe seemed like there was hope. Then I realized how bad Utah State is. But

yeah, the Owls... That's a Pac-12 team you're talking about, sir. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. That's a Pac-12 team you're talking about, sir. Yeah, absolutely. That's the finest of the... It's still Power 5. It's still Power 5. It's not Power 4.

It's P5. It's P5, baby. Well, until we get this fucking super conference or bullshit they're going to try to do. And I called it last episode. It's absolutely happening. I said it's going to be College Football League or something like that. It's absolutely happening. I said it's going to be college football league or something like that. It's going to be simple and it's going to be – yeah.

What's shocking me is they're going to have promotion but no relegation. What's the fucking point? Why can't you have relegation? Do you mind if I go on just a little bit of a diatribe? Yeah, go ahead. Get on my soapbox because West know west coast guy here yeah you know it it breaks my heart it really truly does i was a pac-12 lifer i loved that conference i won't say that it was the best athletic conference you know in football or basketball, was it the weirdest and the most fun?

Absolutely. And now I have to watch goddamn Washington go and lose a Friday night game in Piscataway, New Jersey, instead of playing Oregon State or, God, I don't know, Arizona State or Washington, you know, all of these other like like incredibly fun teams i have to we have to watch that now you have to watch as a utah fan i have to get excited about playing iowa state instead of going up to the palouse and playing Washington State, you know, a team that is like geographically like makes sense. It makes me it.

I'm thoroughly disgusted. You where Utah has to go for their last game of the season. Where's a fucking Orlando? Oh, geez. No, you'll melt. You're going to die. 2500 miles away to play UCF. You know what we used to play on the last game of

the season every year is it colorado colorado yeah who i understand is still on the big 12 but you get the point that i'm making yeah i hate it it makes it makes me so mad r.i.p the pack 12 yeah it's it's we were we were talking about. We've talked about this a couple of times. We had Jordan from the Sickos committee on, too. We talked to him about it. Hell yeah. Yeah. And just the idea that there's going to be like a super league that's going to then have fucking geographical conferences and divisions. Yeah. And then the remaining, the remaining, like the group of whatever it is, the group of eight,

I don't know, they're going to recoalesce around geographical conferences. Right. Because it's not going to be sustainable for them for the non-football programs. Uh-huh. And,

yeah, so I don't know. It's stupid, but this is like, you know, just fucking money ruining it. It's all I don't know. It's stupid. But this is like just fucking money ruining it. It's all money and TV deals. It's all it is. It's just money and TV deals. Like everything else in the world, capitalism ruins it all.

Yep. That's ultimately – it's a money grab. We had Jason Kirk from Shutdown Fullcast on our podcast. And we talked about this exact thing. And it's like, it's a tragedy. Like, I just have the hardest time caring about, you know, like, BYU, Kansas State. Right. Like, I don't know.

Especially when there's like, there's so much equity and there's so much history in these conferences. And it's just like, I will forever be angry at UCLA and USC for ultimately destroying the Pac-12 and going to the Big Ten, which like of all the teams in the Big Ten, you're talking about like the most Big Ten coded team outside of the Big Ten is Utah, and somehow we still ended up in the Big 12. Well, the Big Ten got USC and UCLA and Washington and Oregon. It doesn't – It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, it makes no sense. It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, it makes no sense.

It doesn't make any sense. I hate it. I hate it. And I hope that Ohio State and Michigan throttle them every single year. I hope every game they play against one of those teams is 42 to 6. They get punted into oblivion by...

Yes. What's it, Iowa? Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. It's... Exactly. Good, because they have different kinds of football dominated in the different conferences, and now it's all kind of just diluted.

Yeah, it's really gross. Anyway, so how do we go about... You're the AD of Temple. How do we go about fixing Temple football? Maybe the first thing we do is we use civil asset

forfeiture against the Bill Cosby estate. And we use that for NIL. This is what I'm saying. We are in the era of big money of NIL, where, again, I know I keep coming back to the University of Utah. We have a 25-year-old quarterback who's had multiple – he's had a redshirt season. He's had multiple medical redshirt seasons.

He's had a COVID year. Anyway, he's going to leave the University of Utah with about three to four million dollars in his pocket because of NIL. Now, we all know about

the Bill Cosby saga. A man who needs no introduction. No. What better way to get back in the public's good graces than to revive your alma mater's football team and return it to its glory years? Open up the coffers, Mr. Cosby. There's one thing I know about Philadelphians. They are gracious. Yes.

They don't hold grudges no and they're extremely forgiving people absolutely you with your hundreds of millions of dollars pull up your pants mr cosby reach into that wallet and start paying some players yeah why don't you have a jaylen milrow playing in philadelphia oh my this is what i need sir all our all our all our guys all the philly guys and go to the sec that's what i'm saying yeah that i i know i know my know my colleagues' kids, and they're not even like, they're not football players, but like the SEC is up here recruiting like field hockey and shit. Oh, yeah. In our area. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And- Do you know how many Florida players Utah has had? How many? In the past like number of years, because we had one of our offensive coordinators was Dennis Erickson from the University of Miami. And he opened up that pipeline. It's national, baby. It's nationwide. That's everyone. Especially if you want to play with the big boys and you want to have that SEC Big 12 speed, you better go get yourself some

Florida boys. big boys and you want to have that sec big 12 speed you better go get yourself some florida boys yeah yeah yeah the the the on the other side the i don't know i i don't know like like if i'm the athletic director like i i don't know how long stan drayton is staying right for one i i don't know if he's got it uh earlier this this uh this year in preseason he you know he was very like uh they're like how's practice going he's like oh it's brain camp yeah it's uh it's going yeah yeah um when like no like like dude are you you are not confident in this team at all you know and we lost we lost, you know, we lost EJ Warner to Rice, who was our best quarterback in a long time since PJ Walker. But we got to, in the age of NIL, we got to have the money.

Temple's campus is not, it is located not in the world's best neighborhood and uh tell me you don't like north philadelphia well as a north philadelphian i i feel safe and comfortable there but um and it's not as bad right as people make it i do love the stories i know how like embellished they are of like every single person who's ever gone to temple has gotten robbed that's always my favorite robbed at gunpoint yeah usually um yeah or you go out to like a bar in germantown or something like that and like yeah get held up yeah it's usually those are great stories yeah it's getting getting held up means a black guy walked next to me yeah like some dickhead from montgomery county yeah it's his first interaction means a black guy walked next to me. Yeah. Like some dickhead from Montgomery County.

Yeah. It's like it's his first interaction with a black person. Yeah. Yeah. Avoiding Norristown his whole life. Yeah. Yeah. Some fucking North Wales piece of shit.

Like some guy who's scared of like Harrisburg. Yeah. Yeah. I get I get, you know, because because I'm up in Bucks County now and I get I get the Yeah. Yeah. the train but don't you have to take the subway i was like yeah it's like right there but you're gonna be coming back at like one in the morning i was like yeah i know they're like yeah please be safe i'm like i grew up in kensington i i have seen things you couldn't possibly imagine bro you're real good i'm gonna feel like i'm at home. If there isn't someone smoking weed on the subway, I'm going to be upset. Someone's smoking weed in a fucking Philly blunt, like

in the worst possible tobacco. Yes. And it's absolute just dirt weed. Yeah. It's dirt weed. It's like, they don't even, you have to find dirt weed now. It's legal, dude. Where are you getting it? You have to find it. Something that smells like burnt rye toast. Yeah, some fucking German canned treat. That's what it smells like. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Yeah, but I don't know. Obviously, yeah, the NIL thing. Maybe a stadium on campus would be nice. Yeah, that would probably help. Sure. Yeah. I just don't think they had a chance to capitalize when we had the real good years of Matt Rule.

And then what's his name after him? And, you know, we're going to bowl games. We were playing well. And then it just died. And some people think it is like an NIL thing. They want to blame NIL for everything. I mean, it could have it. Sure.

Listen, you want to get paid, right? You know, you're putting your body on the line. I don't blame a player for wanting to get paid. No, absolutely. I'm 100% in the of the mindset that, yeah, you should be getting paid if you're doing this especially if the ncaa is going to be a multi-billion dollar industry i mean for so long it was like it had it was a plantation and i'm glad to see that athletes are at least getting a small piece of the pie yeah i mean it's it's it's inconsequential, the amount of money

they're getting. But compared to the everything. But, you know, it's still, you know, it's better than nothing. Yeah. Now, yeah, I don't know.

We got UConn next week. UConn beat Buffalo pretty handily, and I think Temple's worse than Buffalo. Well, we'll see. Well, at least Liam's dad will be happy if UConn beat Buffalo pretty handily, and I think Temple's worse than Buffalo. Well, we'll see. Well, at least Liam's dad will be happy if UConn wins. Silver linings everywhere.

Yeah, right? All right, well, let's talk about where we are good at, because the Philadelphia Phillies are in the playoffs. Go fightin' Phillies. Yeah. I do want to say, before we get into any deep dive over the phillies uh yeah lol braves get fucked dude yes braves braves got the fucking couldn't didn't have to hear the fucking chop yeah got smoked by the padres who are looking good and as as we speak game three of the brewers uh met series is going on. Let me take a look there, Mets.

It's still tied. Yeah. As a Phillies fan, I'm conflicted. Do I want to make the Mets fans in my life more miserable than they could ever be with hope beating the Brewers? They're Mets fans, bro. What more do you want i i i want them i want to hear the lamentation of their women i'm going to see them driven before me it's not it's not complete until it's like a total victory until they have my goodness they

disband the franchise because of how sad they are you know their fan is Kevin James, like literally and figuratively. Yeah. It's or do I want them to just lose the Brewers? Because I can tell you something. I actually am a little afraid of the Mets coming in and making the Phillies

look bad because they made us look bad. Are you grimace pilled? I'm not grimace-pilled. But I do have a slight fear of purple. So, yeah, I fear two things. I fear the Byzantines and their purple cloaks. And I fear the grimace. I don't know.

Now that they lost one game, I think they've been a little bit deflated. It looks right now they're tied. They were jumping off the last two games. They took an early lead. Also, my boy Reese Hoskins is on the Brewers. I know he hates the Mets. He's watching him strike out on just absolute bullshit against the Mets. Brought me right back to when he was on the Phillies.

So, yeah, after we're done here, I'm going to watch that game. We'll see how it goes. But, yeah, I don't... Well, who are you... If you had to pick a team, you're rooting for... Oh, it's the Phillies. The Titans? All right. Yeah, absolutely. Go to pick a team, you're for. Oh, it's the Phillies. The Titans?

All right. Yeah, absolutely. Go Phils. Yeah, go Phils. We love Bryce Harper over here in Utah. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. Yeah.

So. One of us. One of us. And is he wearing the garments while he's playing? That's the question. That is. I mean, if he was, there'd there'd be you know we wouldn't be talking about shohei otani i'll tell you that no um where's where's the uh did you see the bryce

harper's wawa kit did i i want to say that i did but i don't i'm having a hard time kind of remembering it all right hold on this this was uh this was uh earlier in the season but apparently he got fined because it wasn't approved i have to find the image copy hey man that shit's on instagram the fuck why would you put that on in in a fucking news article there's there is one thing i will say that i think can bond all philadelphians and uh utahns and that is our affinity for gas station food yeah we've got to get we've got a gas station called maverick that's basically like utah's version of wawa and i i love it i just absolutely love it well i wonder all right so that image isn't working.

I have the Instagram link, but I don't know if you'll see it. But yeah, I guess sort of the culture just went west. Right. Oh, yeah. This is amazing. I love this. Yeah, I did see this. The Wawa headband and the cleats.

Yeah. Yeah. No, he panders to us, but he knows exactly what he's doing, and we love him for it. That's just smart, though. That's good pandering. Yeah, 100% is. Yeah, so I guess I'm getting a little ahead in the schedule.

But yeah, Padres or Dodgers, I'm actually not afraid of either of them in the playoffs if we see them in the NLCS. Mets, I'd be slightly worried about. Brewers, I'm not too worried about. Is the Mets just the familiarity, or what is it about the Mets that has you a little anxious? They just had our number this year. In the end of the season this year, they had our number. We had played two series against them, and I think we split.

Now, three of those starts were Taiwan Walker starts. Sure. Designated loss, but we'll see. The first game of either Mets or Brewers, it'll be Saturday at 4 p.m. Eastern.

We start off, we have home field advantage. I think And yeah, we start off. We have home field advantage. I think if we play the Dodgers, they have home field advantage. Otherwise, we would have home field advantage against the Padres. So we cooked the Padres before in the postseason, but we've also cooked the Dodgers several times. So I'm not too worried about that. Now, the question is, who do we want to see? With the Orioles out, because I was hoping for

Baltimore versus Philly. Baltimore versus Philly. Yeah, it's down to shore versus down to ocean. Yangling versus the Hey Bow. The absolutely just like worst Delco ass

mid-Atlantic accents you've ever heard in your life no no fucking constants are ever being on c8 um well that well the o's the o's couldn't fucking beat the um the goddamn uh ah shit who do they play orioles the tigers oh no it was the royals uh yeah the royals rose i couldn't remember if it was the Royals or Tigers. And I watched the games, too. My brain's fucking done. I have no ties at all. But I went to a Royals game once.

And then afterwards, we went to Joe's in Kansas City, which was some of the best barbecue I've ever had in my life. Like, easy top three. So, you know, i guess there's like there's a memory there so i don't know go royals yeah that sounds great i'm i'm i like the roof of the underdogs sure sure yeah i don't again i don't i don't have any ties but that was a really fun time my brother lived in kansas city for uh a short amount of time while he was going to school. Yeah. You could do worse. I mean, Pat Mahomes is an owner.

Yeah. So, well, it depends on how much you like Pat Mahomes. I don't have anything against him. I don't care. I don't care about Pat Mahomes. He's fun to watch, and that's all I care about. He was a little overexposed there. Just like right now care about He was a little overexposed there

Just like right now Jason Kelsey is a little overexposed Sure I don't need to see every Other commercial Yeah absolutely Yeah Seeing the Tigers is cool The Tigers story is legitimately cool

Yeah They seem like they were dead in the water a couple of weeks ago And then like this surge They're making That would be a cool story It's very Phillies-esque Yes, it does feel very Phillies Yeah, so

The question is like who do we want to see Who do we want to see in the World Series? Royals, Tigers Yankees or Guardians? 100% I'm going with tigers and then tigers tigers phillies like detroit versus philadelphia yeah two of like the great american towns i was actually having a conversation with some friends uh just today and like i truly believe there are only a handful of like truly great American cities. I would consider both Detroit and Philadelphia as part of that, that group, you know, I'd probably throw Chicago in there, New York, New Orleans, probably LA. I have my gripes with LA, but it is like a uniquely like great place.

Yeah. LA, LA is, la is is uh is interesting i didn't i didn't hate it when i was there um yeah i mean every time i thought i would hate it it's funny every time i go to la like sure i get fed up with the traffic but then like you know my my in-laws live in orange county and i've got a bunch of friends in la and it's like they're all like 20 minutes from the beach and every day is like 75 and sunny and gorgeous and i was like every time i go there i was like i could do this i absolutely i could do this yeah this would be nice yeah i've i i've stated this many times i've highly fuck with san diego um i do like san diego san diego is incredible i wouldn't i i don't think it has like the cachet or the history to be like considered one of the truly great american cities

with that said it is a truly great city yeah i've never had a bad time in san diego i've always had san diego's wonderful yeah and and honestly i saw i saw uh i saw a phillies the phillies play the padres there uh super cool ballpark so yeah petco park's incredible beautiful like skyline you're right you're right by downtown yeah you got the gas lamp district right there yeah i'm not intimidated by padres fans at all yeah like i would actually like i wouldn't go to like a red socks or a mets game by myself like at their home park say i would want like at wouldn't go to like a Red Sox or a Mets game by myself, like at their home. I would want like at least one person with me because I know myself. I'm going to say something.

And and and I know that those guys can fucking dish it out. Right. I respect that. But I'm not going to fucking I'm not going to go on someone's turf talk. I not a single Padres fan. I was I was i could kick eight eight asses at once here can i tell you a fun a fun story yeah so this was this was 20 years ago this was 2004 i went to game three of the alcs with my dad that was the game where the yankees went up three nothing on the red socks and they won they won that game like, I don't know, like 18-6.

I forgot the exact score. But it was like – first of all, it was a downpour and we were soaked. And then like, yeah, the Red Sox got their ass kicked and then like obviously won four in a row and swept and won the World Series. But I remember I was on the train. We were staying in Bostonoston and i was i went to cambridge uh that day like there was a sneaker shop i wanted to go to and then i was like well i'm here let me like go walk around harvard and just like take in the sights and there was a guy on the train in like full yankees gear like yankees cap uh like jeter jersey he walked off the train and i watched

him get punched in the face which fuck yeah respect uh like you're going that's that's enemy territory man dude you do you yeah yeah i'm not yeah like no i'm not walking through queens in full philly's gear in the middle of post yeah no you absolutely shouldn't no yeah no i have a sense of self preservation it was very funny very and i know that northeasterners can fight because i'm one absolutely there's two things that northeasterners are northeasterners do quite well, and it's drink and fight. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So, yeah.

Having the Tigers would be fun. I just like the story, man. That would be really cool. That would be fun. And then there would be like Dave Dombrowski shit because he started with the Tigers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it would be cool to crush their dreams and become the big guys. Uh-huh. Because they have one pitcher.

Yeah. Well, you only need three in the playoffs as opposed to five in the regular season. Yeah. But yeah, Roger. Before I get to the next section i do want to say

uh we did lose a a real piece of shit this week oh yeah fuck that guy pete rose fuck you uh fuck everyone who's like state like fucking idolizing you all right he i just want to say this besides all right he first off he's we know he's a statutory rapist right yeah i was just gonna say the one thing he was better at than hitting baseballs was hitting on underage girls yeah uh the most famous one was 16 and i'm sure the efebo files out there were like well that's not that bad but uh i was in florida and the the age of consent's 18 i believe if i'm getting my story straight but he also they're guys talking about he like 14 year olds and 12 year olds too so um he's dead i could say whatever the fuck i want and um the the other thing is it's also like a big maga guy which

doesn't really help things oh 100 what what a shock what a shock that dickhead is a fucking man him hanging out with lenny dykstra oh yeah another famous shit head who who who i do he will fight anybody i mean he'll fight you greg you'll fight anyone yeah the the thing that i want to say when people talk about like any unfair bullshit bands oh for gambling baseball they gambling down pete rose voluntarily accepted a permanent ban not lifetime accepted a permanent ban, not lifetime ban, a permanent ban from baseball

in exchange for no further investigation. So... You reap what you sow, buddy. Yeah. He agreed to it. It's done. It's a permanent ban. And if they do some sort of like

rescinding it as some sort of like, who gives a shit? No. Let them suffer the consequences. Still show that you can't, as a player or a manager, bet on your own team or any team or baseball general just just keep you have to keep that standard and um was that paul giamatti's dad by the way that did that um uh what's paul yes i think you're right yeah yeah yeah yeah uh bart giam do Pete Rose? Yes, he did. I remember this.

He did. So thank you, Bart Giamatti, for giving us two great things. Paul Giamatti and Pete Rose's lifetime, no, fucking permanent ban. Till the end of the universe, ban from baseball. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Yeah, couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Yeah, couldn't happen to a nicer guy. All right. So I know you got to get going in a second. I got some. I got to run in a minute, but we can put a bow on this thing. We can talk.

I got a little time to talk about something else. You want to talk? Should we talk NBA? Yeah. You know what? Yeah. We haven't you know what yeah i haven't we haven't talked about nba why don't why don't we get into that you know we got mb hasn't showed up in practice yet because they're trying to ease him in yeah you know i i am actually like legitimately excited about the the the sixers this year like i have I have, I mean, obviously, like, diehard jazz fan,

grew up walking distance from the stadium. No, we do not acknowledge Karl Malone and John Stockton. We did a whole bonus on that one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. However, you know, I always have, like, an Eastern Conference at a Western Conference team.

My Eastern Conference team is the Sixers. I think you have to be excited. I mean, there's always, like, trepidation when you bring in a new guy but like that's a really good big three in mb maxi and paul george like that's such a such a huge upgrade over tobias harris now like well i mean i might be an upgrade over tobias harris right my me at 40 years old with a knee that's like held together with bobby pins and duct tape yeah might be better um you know like i think yeah it's you got to be excited it's interesting to see the i'm not going to say the competitive landscape has shifted because i do still think the western conference is overall top to bottom stronger than the eastern

conference but there is like some actual parody there you know up top with you know obviously because I do still think the Western Conference is overall top to bottom stronger than the Eastern Conference. But there is like some actual parity there, you know, up top with, you know, obviously Celtics reigning champions. I'm very interested to see what happens with New York now that they have Cat. Like that's a huge trade. I don't really know what the Timberwolves were thinking other than like their owner is a cheap asshole.'s like you just you just throw you

just throw away the chemistry you had your best season in 20 years and you just like throw away that and like julius randall is a fine player but you know it's obviously yet to be seen what happens anyway i was just breaking that breaking the knicks collection of all the villanova grads right yeah i still i think the knicks are going to be really good um you know especially if they can get mitchell robinson healthy and or you know find a suitor in a trade like that's just a really top to bottom good team with brunson and Mikael Bridges and OG Ananobi and cat. Like that's,

that's a lot of firepower. I'm a little worried about their defense taking a hit. Like cat's not a good defensive player nonetheless. And it's also like, and then you still have Milwaukee, Milwaukee still good, you know, especially if they're healthy.

I don't know if I would consider them on that, like complete upper echelon, but you still have yannis who's like at worst what like the third or fourth best player in the league like absolutely you have somebody like that like it's a superstar driven league you have a guy like that you're gonna win games right um but yeah i think like if you're a philadelphia sixers fan you have to at least be excited i would assume that you would have to have More optimism going into This season than you did the

The past like the previous three or Four seasons yeah I mean um that Definitely more than last year I'll tell you that that That was that was a weird Right you know As it's a disappointing that was a disappointing Especially the second half was like there was a lot of

There was like a rally towards the end, but the just that just fucking with him beat out. It was like, oh man, we fucking suck. We don't have any. You just have Tyrese Maxie trying so hard and we just it's just him, you know,

legitimately awesome. And now you have like a bona fide like first ballot Hall of Famer. And like on the team instead of again tobias harris yeah um who by all accounts was a nice guy but uh right like taiwan walker you can beat a nice guy somewhere else i guess right uh yeah and like i think that i think that caleb martin signing was kind of underrated you still got kelly uber a like eric gordon can still get you some buckets like reggie jackson is like a pretty solid uh backup point guard like you know

he won a ring in denver you got we got philly you're getting you're getting like yeah you've got kyle lowry as well like i think you have to have some optimism about this squad. Yeah. No, I think so, too. Yeah. And how are you feeling about the Jazz? The Jazz are going to be dog shit. And I say that, I actually say that with optimism in that this is a year to not be good now like one there are a couple things that

actually have me optimistic like this season is going to be hard but what it is is going to be a trial run for the future the jazz actually have some like intriguing young prospects in taylor hendricks in keontae george George, in Cody Williams, the kid they drafted, Jalen Williams' brother from the Oklahoma City Thunder, who had a very, very good summer league and looks like a bona fide player. You've got Kyle Filipowski. You've got Walker Kessler, who's now hopefully can rebound from what was a sophomore slump. And so this season is all about experimentation and figuring out who are your guys for your future and one thing that jazz were able to do that was a huge success was signing

larry markin into a four or five year contract like you have your guy that you can build around and on top of that you have a ton of money that's coming off the books this next year that you can go out and then sign someone. And you still have a billion draft picks. So let's say that there is a disgruntled star at the trade deadline or in the offseason or something that wants to be traded. The first people that are going to make the phone call are the Utah Jazz because they have the assets to actually be able to make those moves. And then by then, you'll be like, oh, well, Keontae George, he may not be the point guard for the future, but you know what? He's a guy who can average 20 points a game as a shooting guard. So let's go out and get a point guard and figure out something. Like, know, Cody Williams, this guy actually has staying power.

He might not be an all-star, but he's a guy who's going to be a 10-year vet. Taylor Hendricks has a lot of upside. Oh, you know what? He doesn't work. So good thing he's on a rookie contract. So the pieces are coalescing. It's just going to take time. And I really think on top of everything, the Jazz want to be bad this year because they want a top five draft pick.

They want a Cooper flag. They want one of Carlos Boozer's twins. Those are guys who could come into the league and in a couple of years when all of these other guys have that experience and are bona fide nba players and you know positive impact players well like you've got a young core set up to win for the next five to seven years so like you know like philly fans i feel like can really relate to this like i was in philadelphia 10 years ago during the process during the reasons when the philly or when the when the sixers were dog shit and now like the part of the upper echelon at the eastern conference and they have one of the three best players in the nba and joelle right and like

there's there's there's reason for optimism that's where the jazz are trying to get to and i think they're being smart about it that but like the here and now is not going to be good it's gonna it's gonna struggle the jazz might win 25 games this year and again by design lar i hope that larry markin and jordan clarkson and john collins uh are really good at getting hangnails and back spasms. Because there's going to be a lot of load management and finicky injuries and guys riding the pine. And it's going to be a lot of minutes for the young guys. And it's going to be a lot of losses.

But you're telling me Patty Mills isn't going to carry this team? No, I like the Patty Mills signing. Patty Mills was washed two years ago. He's fucking my age. He's my age. But you bring someone in there with that championship caliber, you could do a lot worse than having Patty Mills be a mentor for your guys. That's true. It's the same thing like they brought in Drew Eubanks.

Is Drew Eubanks a good basketball player? No. Is he tough as nails? And he's like, is he going to toughen up Walker Kessler and Kyle Filipowski and teach them how to actually be NBA tough players? Yes, absolutely. That's the type of – that's why you bring in guys like that. And I'm actually excited for them to be actually like have a little bit of veteran leadership on a team like this and be able to steer the young guys towards like being impact high positive players who play hard and play the right way. I know that's like extremely white guy thing of me to say, but there is a formula to playing good basketball well any team any team in any sport having a veteran i mean even in any job having someone who's like been there before knows how to do it

that's is an advantage it's it's legitimately one of my favorite things in my job where i get a mentor some of the junior creatives you know like i've been at this now for the better part of 20 years and like i've i've been there and actually like have those kids have those light bulb moments and figure stuff out and come up with a great idea or execute a project or something like it's incredibly rewarding like it's akin to like watching your your son accomplish something you know it's not a one-to-one but you get like you get it yeah yeah i don't know especially as a teacher you know you see yeah yeah absolutely you 100 get that like you you lay that foundation and then you watch them build upon that and like it's it's one of the most if not the most

rewarding part of life i'll leave you with that wow that's positive all right well well uh all right listeners well well g Greg has to go. So you have anything you want to say before you get out of here? Thank you for having me. Thanks for filling in. Yeah. Solidarity forever. I've got a lot of transphobes in my mentions and I would like to say to the transphobes to eat shit and listen to the brigham young money podcast and if you enjoy basketball

you can listen to unsalvageable which is my basketball podcast with a former philadelphia sixers beat writer and now uh utah jazz beat writer sarah todd all right yeah we cover the utah jazz and the nba at large. We start up our episodes. We're recording again next week, and it'll be a weekly show. So, yeah, Brigham Young Money, Unsalvageable, and I don't know. Like, be kind to each other. Be nice. Yeah, that's pretty good.

Unless they're a Braves fan. Unless they're a Braves fan, which eat shit. Yeah, they can fucking die. Just die already uh all right man thank you so much all right so this is Tom here Greg had the run so I'm I'm a solo host I'm a solo host I'm a free bird I'm'm free to say whatever I want. I can say all the bad words and no one can stop me. There's no one here to be my conscience except myself. So why don't we go through some, instead of me saying slurs, let's go through some of your messages. So we have Kyle from Cleveland who both called in and texted us and said,

Hey, Tom, yay potential host. This is Kyle from Cleveland, your unofficial Ohio correspondent. Pronouns he, him. I would have called in, but I lost my voice while cheering on the Vikings. I just want to say how much I'm looking forward to the episode about Rudy, as well as the continuation of the history of football series. I'm currently reading a book about the early years of the NFL. And the more I read about George Preston Marshall, the more I want to fire the

Washington Commanders into the sun. As an aside, I'm really looking forward to postseason baseball. I really wish my beloved Guardians weren't going up against the fucking Yankees. But maybe just maybe they can eke out a win or two. And I think that's it for this week. Go Vikings, go guards, fuck Penn State, and fire the commanders into the sun. Take care. So to go through this, the history of football part three, yeah, that's going to be probably me writing most of it.

So I'm going to try and get that to be the October bonus. We'll see if that works. But yeah, there are definitely some, uh, some interesting figures floating around, um, who there's a lot of like people we wish could die. Um, wish, wish, we wish had died. Um, for those who don't know, um, George Preston Marshall was the, he was, you know, when the commander's name was a slur, he was the last to integrate. And that was only because the government, the D.C. government said no, or the federal, I'm sorry, the federal government said No, you're not building this stadium In Washington DC

If you will not allow your Team to be integrated So yeah, fuck that guy Yeah And for the Guardians I think the Guardians have a chance against the Yankees I don't think the Yankees are this undefeatable team That is out there

impossible to beat. They're a decent team, but they're not the best. I think the AL, I didn't really get into this the last episode, but the AL overall is the weaker league this year, which is kind of unusual. Usually the AL is this sort of

power team, power league with all these home run hittings, especially home runs hit, especially when it was most of the league with the DH. And the National League was sort of more of like the smart man's baseball with strategy and double switches. But no, I think the Guardians actually are a solid underrated team that could, that would be very funny if they beat the Yankees.

And it's like AL Central, NLCS. I'd actually like that a lot. And also, would the Yankees lose? Because I think the Phillies have the least odds against them. And I don't fear the Phillies have the least odds against them, and I don't fear the Phillies. Although the Phillies could, the Guardians could own the Phillies. It's not without the realm of possibility. So thanks, Kyle.

All right. This one is from the Discord. Hi, yay, Liam and Tom. How badly did the Cleveland Bounds fuck up not dumping Deshaun Watson replacing him with Joe Flacco or like anyone else, bring back British Rail, fuck sports betting, go hockey. And this was, I think

it's NavigatorBR on the Discord. Well, they really fucked up signing him in the first place, especially amid all the speculation at the time about his sexual assault allegations.

Now that even more has come out, and we talked about this, the NFL must have known, the Browns must have known, they just don't care. And they didn't care. And you know what will make them care, though? That he sucks That's that's what they care so the mistake

Isn't dumping him the mistake was fucking signing him in the First place they just they They Alienated their fans and clearly Baker Mayfield Wasn't happy about the whole situation either Um I Would yeah Fire fucking Deshaun Watson

The fucking son actually is better than he deserves. We shouldn't waste all that Delta V on him. Fuel's expensive. Yeah, hopefully that answers your question. Yeah, pretty much, yeah, sign anyone else that doesn't have the baggage. I think they had PJ Walker out there for a little bit too, but I don't know.

I don't think that turned out that well either. All right, next listener message here. It's, hey, Tom, yay, Liam. It's Rasheen. Clevelander trapped in Columbus. She, her pronouns. All right. I appreciate that you told us how to spell, to say your name,

but both Liam and I, you know, have enough, we know enough, a thing or two about the Emerald Isle enough that we can figure out how to pronounce an Irish name like Roisin. So it's not a problem. You don't really have to do that. I'm just going to do the rest of the episode in my Irish accent because Liam's

not here to stop me. And I sound like this weird mix of Bono and Liam Neeson, but with a lot less cursing. Well, Sam's not here to stop me. And I sound like this weird mix of Bono and Liam Nason, but with a lot less cursing. Well, those kinds of words. All right. I'm not actually going to do that.

Despite a phoned-in dog shit July and August, the Guardians righted the ship and have locked in the first round behind the playoffs. Jose's teetering on the brink of a 40-40 season. Kwon came off the IL with a bang and our starting rotation's back to halfway decent. So at time of writing, knock on wood, all is all right in the world at the corner of

Carnegie and Ontario. And on top of that, three of our four farm teams at least made the playoffs, including the high-A Lake County captains who won the league championship. The worst, most deranged assholes of twins Twitter are in shambles. Shout out Cry Louie.

And I am basking in the schadenfreude. I also want to say I forgive the birds for exploding Jordan Love because my Packers are 2-0 so far with Malik Wills as temporary QB1. I haven't been keeping up as much with the Packers as I'd like, but I finally did get to go to my very first preseason Packers game. An away game in which they deservedly wrecked the Browns shit, and I got to counter all the jeering about my head

about my head-to-toe Packers gear with, I'm from here, my mother who's from Wisconsin, just raised me right. Anyway, go Guardians, go Pack, go go Birds, fuck the Browns, fuck Ohio State, the Ohio Skibbity-risiversity. I live right by campus, even though I don't go to school here. It's hell. Also, I got stiffed by three OSU football players during my short career as a waitress, so it's extra personal. Yeah, fuck the Buckeyes. Fuck the Buckeyes. And fuck Penn State also. Important note, Jane Austen batting around doesn't count as part of Swin's Twitter TM. I respect her. She's cool. Edited talking about

the freaks with severe fraud and guardians arrangement. Yes, Jane Austen is cool. Shouts out to batting around. That's one of the ones I've been missing in the show outro. All right. Well, we do have some listener messages via voicemail. And I think Kyle did actually end up calling as well, which I do find very funny. I think Kyle also ran afoul of the time limit. So this is what Kyle had to say. Hey, gang. Kyle from Cleveland.

Pronouncing him. Thankfully, my voice is getting a lot better after I just enjoyed the suffering of the lowly, lowly Packers against Minnesota Vikings. But I'm not going to talk about that right now. I just watched the episode you guys made about Rudy, and I'm reminded of all of the normal reasons why I should hate the movie Rudy and Rudy Ridinger as a person. But here's the guess a little fun, guys. I hate this movie for another very weird reason. So, when I was a wee wee lad, like still

an embryo in my mom's womb, my dad decided to watch this movie Rudy because he's a huge Notre Dame fan. And he said, you know what? My firstborn son, we're gonna name him Rudy. Now, my parents didn't know I was going to be a boy until I wrapped my umbilical cord around my neck, and they had to get me the hell out of there. So my mom took this chance in her bit of lucidity during all this stuff to basically ask the doctor,

okay, next dude who walks through those doors, I'm going to name this kid after him because I can't do Rudy. And thankfully, it was my Uncle Kyle. So thank you, Grand Uncle Kyle, because otherwise I'd have to be called Rudolph Clark. That just gives me mental anguish as I speak of it. Speaking of mental anguish,

post-season MLB, boys, it's fucking rough. So I'm a Guardians fan, right? So the best case scenario for us is if some fucking hell Detroit beats the Astros,

which, yeah, that's not going to fucking happen, Cleveland's going to wind up playing the Astros, and we're probably going to get our shit wrecked. If some fucking hell we don't, like if Cthulhu rises from the sunken city of Relyea and decides to devour half of their starting team,

and that happens, great. Then we get to play the Yankees. It's like 2022 all over again. And if we somehow beat those bastards, which we're definitely not, then we're definitely not,

then we get to either play either the Dodgers or fucking you guys. Oh, goddamn. Don't discount the Padres. The first division, the Pacific War. You get from one hell state to another, to another, to another. And then you're just left with like a lifeless pup. That's exactly what it's like. Just like being a Pele Liu.

Gotta love baseball, guys. This Monday's gonna be brutal. But anyway, I better cut this short. Let's see here. Go Guardians, go Vikings, go Minnesota Wild, fuck Penn State, fuck the Packers,

and fuck the Washington Commanders in general, and George Preston Marshall in particular. Oh, hey, that racist asshole. I cannot wait for you guys to roast him during the... Yeah, during the bonus. He ran out of time there. Yeah, if it's calm in three

minutes, I should probably put something in there in the show voicemail line, which is fuck up. I haven't even listened to it in forever. So yeah. Yeah, you

definitely didn't lose to the Astros, so that's good. Well, you can't lose to the Astros because they lost to the Tigers. That was very enjoyable. I fucking love that they fucking lost. All right, next one. We have another Liam.

What is this? We have a false Liam. We have a Liam voicemail. Hi, my name is Liam. Pronouns say them, which is new since last time. Hooray. Anyway, I just want to say fuck the Dallas Cowboys, because I work at Domino's in South goddamn Dakota, and yet there are

enough fucking Cowboys fans that I got my butt reamed all night long, and I'm pissed about it. And I figure the only people who will truly understand Is some fucking Philadelphians So uh Go birds, go vikings Fuck the goddamn cowboys Goodbye Well congrats Liam on figuring out Your you know

Your pronouns, identity and all that That's good Hopefully that keeps working out for you and you feel more like yourself Um thanks for calling in. Really appreciate it. Alright. And we got the last two are usual Waynes and

Charlie. So let's go with Wayne first. Hey, Tom. Hello, guys. Because Liam is at an undisclosed location. Not even a guest now. It's Wayne pronouncing him. Voice is completely shot as I attended Rutgers versus Washington yesterday.

I know, Rutgers. A game that basically resulted in a lot of screaming in various different ways. Anyway, Rutgers was able to seek out a win probably by the skin of their teeth, thanks to three missed field goals by Washington and a lot of horrendous penalties taken by the Huskies, including an illegal substitution penalty on a blocked field goal. They blocked a field goal for Rutgers, but they got called for an illegal substitution because one of the players went onto the field while play was still continuing. And immediately afterwards, Rutgers makes the pay by scoring a touchdown right then and there.

So Rutgers is now 4-0 for the first time since 2012, for the first time in the second coming to Craig Sciano. We may actually see Rutgers ranked once again. My God, this is going to be a hell of a compulsion. Anyway, the Mets basically are now tied with the Diamondbacks

and the Braves. It's a three-way tie for the two remaining wildcard spots, which is probably going to go extremely poorly for the Mets. And as anyway, and as always, fuck Penn State. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, that was crazy Rutgers pulled it off.

Hey, listen, shouts out to the North Jersey boys. We thought that they would have died against Washington and they would have used the Husky to eat their corpses. So now they end up winning and it's still insane to say Rutgers played Washington and it's not a bowl game or something. But yeah, no, it's pretty cool then the pull off alright, last but not least, Charlie with our Union News

Hey guys, this is Charlie from Roxborough, he, him hey Tom, yay Liam, who's probably still in Switzerland but we're on undisclosed location after that hello to either Jordan, Jordan, Greg, Kyle, Bobby, Pat again, Wayne, Audrey,

Dono, Tanner, Taylor, November, or Justin, whoever is also with Tom currently at the moment. They're all with me. They showed up at Union on Saturday. Do what they always do and scored the first goal in the second half, named Hariel, and promptly gave up a goal to Atlanta to drop points at home for the second-to-last game in Chester to be tied currently with both Montreal and Toronto for the

eighth and ninth spot. Union have the tiebreaker over Montreal, but Toronto has the tiebreaker over the Union for eighth. And now they've got to go into Orlando City, who's already clinched, and then play Columbus, who's already clinched for the playoffs.

So it's not looking too good with also Cincinnati, who also clinched and then play Columbus, who's already clinched for the playoffs. So it's not looking too good with also Cincinnati, who also clinched as the final game and final home game. So they need to get something out of those last three games to stay at least above Montreal. These are going to come thick and fast with most of the spots already clinched out for the playoffs. But in more important news, rest in peace, Pete Rose, you won't be missed by anybody.

Current number of feet, if you had the over on six, you're wrong. It's under. Is the man who hammered the under his entire career? Wish he had the over yesterday, but, you know, I'm sure the sympathy vote from the Veterans Committee and said that, well, you know, lifetime ban meant a lifetime. And it's like, not necessarily for a guy who gambled, courted his bet and committed sexual assault, you know,

probably shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame and, you know, doesn't deserve his day, doesn't deserve, you know, it probably shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame and, you know, doesn't deserve his day, doesn't deserve, you know, any kind of recognition at this point. You know, you could lump in

shitheads like Tommy John and Curt Schilling onto that list too, but, you know, Lifetime, you know, sometimes goes beyond a lifetime and, you know,

in Peter Reza's case, it should go a goes beyond a lifetime. And, you know, in Peter Reza's case, it should go a bit beyond a lifetime. Maybe another 55 years, babe. Babe. There you go. I like that one. All right. You get the riff.

I like that. Yeah. How about another 55,000 years? Okay. How about that, babe? All right. Thanks,000 years? Okay. How about that? How about that, babe? All right. Thanks, Charlie. All right.
