God bless football, Flint is God bless football. Stu gots. We are getting closer, fellas. We are getting closer to actual football games being played.

Are you excited, Mikey? People are working on it. People are showing up. It's hot. They're wearing those funky helmets. They're working on it. I'm excited. How do you feel about the funky helmet, Billy? Do you know the helmet he's talking about? I do.

Yeah, it looks weird, right? It's going to take some getting used to. I'm curious to see how many players play with the guards during the actual game, because I think they can wear them this season. So we'll see how many people opt to do that and what it looks like during an actual game. It'll be interesting.

Hey, everybody's in camp. Everybody's reported. I mean, not every player, but every team in camp. It started. Football has started, Stugots. Football season has started. I'm so excited for it. I need it so badly in my life.

I'm up here in New York right now and I'm telling you, like it's the only market in America where they don't care if it's July because they're still talking baseball. They don't want football to start. They want baseball to never end. It's the weirdest thing, man. It is so straight.

I will also tell you this though. I'm sorry, Billy. Go ahead. I was going to say not Yankees fans. My understanding is that Yankees fans think the season's over already while being up like 20 games over 500. Yeah, I was blasted today. Yeah, right.

It's more of a yeah, we see how this is going to end. It's going to be, yay. We made the playoffs. Oh, we got swept. I know, but you're three and a half up in the mobile card. Jerry Reco actually said this on WFAN. They were 59 and 42. At the time he said it, it's, he said, it felt like they were 42 and 59. How is that possible? You can't were 42 and 59. Like, how is that possible? You can't be 59 and 42 and it feels like you're 42 and 59.

It's impossible, I'm telling you. Really? Yeah. You feel the same way. You agree with Reco, is that what you're saying? I'm saying I could see how you'd feel that way. I don't know that I'd go that far, but I could see how you'd feel that way.

And I'm saying Billy would give anything to have a baseball team that was 59 and 42 that felt like it was 42 and 59. Am I right, Billy? I mean, the fact that you guys are complaining about making the playoffs every year, you have 27 titles like get out of here. Get out of here. But Billy, see, your team makes the playoffs and wins the World Series or they don't play playoffs.

Like, yeah, there's something to be said about making the playoffs and then watching your team have to go home. Like we could have beat that team. We could have beat that team, but the Marlin season's over in July every year. Like we're over the season is already over. This season, they actually schedule where you have it going that long. What does this unit was over? They know they, they traded Luis Araya's May 3rd this year, a month into the season. We're like, ah, nevermind. And the GM said like, ah, this wasn't our year.

And it's like a month in, we're not here to talk about 20 games in. We should do God bless baseball. We're not here to talk about. I'll tell you who should Jerry Reco. I mean, him and G and Adi, they don't want baseball to end ever. Anyway, we have a lot to get to today. More Mike Lee, I am excited for that. We have a Fuentes top five. We have Billy's story of the week,

and I'm certain we will have more games along the way. Billy, is there, what's going on with TUA down there in Miami? I'm up in New York right now doing some shows for WFAN as we record this. They are very excited about Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. They are very excited about Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. They are too excited about Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. I would prefer they tone it down.

But Billy, what is the latest year with Tua and the Dolphins? The latest that I saw on ESPN today was Tua's practice status fluid amid contract talks. Really? He's gonna practice on it. Tua's not gonna sit down. Let's be real. He's too nice. He's too nice. He's too nice to have a hold on it. Two is not going to sit down. Let's let's be real. He's too nice.

He's too nice. He's too nice to have a hold on. It's not going to happen. Right. He's going to play. He's going to play 18 games without a contract. He's going to volunteer. He's like, guys, I want to play all the preseason games too.

Let's do it. Skyler can come in today. Oh, OK. I got him. Don't worry. It's so weird. How do you guys feel about jet fans being very excited about their football team? Because I am telling you, I'm in New York.

I feel it. They're calling into the radio station. They think this is the year Mikey. Did you see USA Today's official prediction has the Jets winning the Super Bowl? Yes, I did. I don't think I've ever I don't think I've ever felt so bad about something said so nice about my team But I do write like I wanted to throw up when I read it because you just know it's all gonna go downhill I believe it's that I believe it's the first time anyone has predicted the jet to win the Super Bowl

I Do I don't I can't I can't recall in all the years rooting for the Jets where someone had them as a preseason Preseason favorite to win the Super Bowl. I could't recall in all the years rooting for the Jets where someone had them as a preseason favorite to win the Super Bowl. I can not recall that. It's disgusting. It's disgusting. I feel, I feel, I feel Notchous about it. Right.

I know. It's going to be interesting what happens here with Tua. It's also, you know, the same thing is kind of the same conversations that we've had about Tua are going on with Daniel Jones, Billy. Daniel Jones already got his contract. He got it based off of one playoff victory a couple of years ago.

He is guaranteed $47 million coming up this year. And if you've watched HARD DOCS, you have seen Joe Shane, who has been on this show, trying to move up in the draft to get a quarterback, even though he has Daniel Jones at $47 million. They end up taking a wide receiver. I do wonder how Daniel Jones experiences watching that play out in the draft room,

where they have a quarterback, yet they're trying to trade up to get someone they think is better. But they are kind of talking about some of the same stuff we have talked about about where Daniel Jones, give him one more year, if it doesn't work out, the Giants get opt out of that deal and maybe go after Dak Prescott. Like this is, it's kinda crazy.

And I keep telling them that Dak is not going to the Giants. They keep asking why, Billy. And I said, that's because Dak is going to the Dolphins. How about that? I mean. Yeah, I know you keep doing this Dak to the Dolphins thing. I'm wondering if there is a player in the NFL who has had more make it or break it seasons than Daniel Jones while still being in the exact same position. Kind of Dak too though because it's the Cowboys. Yeah.

Because it's the Cowboys. Yeah. Every year is making a break for Dak. Yeah. But I think with Dak, like a lot of people are like, yeah, like he belongs. Every year it's the conference. Every year is a break for Dak. But I think with Dak, like a lot of people are like, yeah, like he belongs. Every year it's kind of like we're looking for the reason for Daniel Jones to prove that he belongs in the NFL. And then like, we don't really see it, but like the next year we're still there. We're like, yeah, this is year,

make it or break it here, Daniel Jones. I think people want Daniel Jones to make it, but he keeps breaking it. Yeah. Can we play a little game of make it, but he keeps breaking it. Yep. Can we play a little game of make it or break it? Okay. Is this a make it or break it year for Deshaun Watson? No.

Because of the money? Because of the contract. Right. That's a good point. He doesn't have to make it. He already broke the back. He's gotta make it no matter what. I was trying to figure out.

And he already broke the team. I mean. I was trying to figure out, and he already broke the team. I mean, I was trying to figure out the game. You set it up like you wanted the answer to make it or break it. And Mike, he's just like, no. Right. Well, that's true. Make it or break it, Mikey, Deshaun Watson. You asked, is it a make it or break it year? And I said, no.

Make it or break it. Yeah. But you have to answer correctly. Oh, he breaks it. He breaks it because who cares? Make it or break it ear. I gotta find a good guy. I was gonna say Trevor Lawrence, but he's in the same boat. They've paid him a lot of money.

Make it or break it, Jalen Hurts. You think they're gonna get rid of Jalen Hurts? Yeah. No. I do. No. Sirianni's gone before Hurts is gone. 100%. This is a make it or break it year for Sirianni. Yeah. Mm. I do. No. Sirianni's gone before Hertz is gone. 100%.

This is a make it or break it year for Sirianni. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I would say the same thing. Okay, now you're playing a better game, Billy. I would say the same thing for the coach in Buffalo too. Like Josh Allen's there to take more tires. McDermott?

Yeah, McDermott's more of a break it than Josh Allen. Yeah. Now he's been through a lot of make it or break it years without McDermott, right? He has. I didn't think he was gonna survive last year. I thought last year's the year that McDermott was gonna be gone, and then they got rid of Ken Dorsey,

became the sacrificial lamb, and then they kinda, at the end of the year, picked things up a little bit, and McDermott survived again. And then Ken Dorsey, who everybody was like, oh my God, this is like the next head coach, has now just fallen off of the face of the earth. Because as soon as he was gone, then the offense started looking better,

and then it's like, oh, he's maybe not a genius after all. How about Kyle Shanahan, make it or break it? He's what? No. At some point you have to go to the, no, no, no, Mikey A. At some, I don't care. At some point, I don't care how many people tell me

this guy is a genius. He is so ahead of the curve. He is thinking differently than every other coach at some point with this roster, a roster this talented. You have to not only make the Super Bowl, but you have to win one. I mean, come on. What do you think would happen to the fabric of existence? If the Bills met Kyle Shanahan in the Super Bowl, and one of them has to win it. Like I'm not sure either of them actually can, the universe won't allow either of them to win that. Think about Shanahan is like, if you can keep taking Jimmy Garoppolo's and Brock Purdy's to the Superbowl,

I don't think you'll ever get fired. Yeah, but that's his trick, right? He never takes a big time quarterback, therefore he never gets the blame for when they lose. It goes to Brock Purdy or Jimmy Garoppolo. I mean, it's a good trick. It is. It's a good trick.

It's got them employed. Can I just for a quick moment interrupt this game with the game that I came up with? Ooh, the game within the game. All right, so I wanna interrupt make it or break it with a new game that I call, Hey, Did You Hear? Oh, wow. A game within a game.

Yeah. I can't wait to hear how this one's played. All right, so you mentioned Kyle Shanahan. Hey, did you hear Kyle Shanahan say? Did you hear his name of the game? Yeah, Hey Did You Hear is the name of the game. Yeah. Hey, did you hear Kyle Shanahan say

that Bill Belichick declined a job offer to join the 49ers staff? He essentially said, you never know, he's a football guy and I couldn't believe his head coach, so I reached out to him and was kind of like, you can do whatever you want. Hey, did you hear? How are we supposed to respond?

Yeah, that's the thing about the game. The game requires a response. You say like, yeah, I did hear, that's crazy. Oh no, I didn't hear that, that's crazy. I did hear that, so I get a response. You say like, yeah, I did you. That's crazy. Oh no, I didn't hear that. That's crazy. I did hear that. So I get a point. You win.

I win. I'm a winner. You win, you heard it. I didn't hear it. I'm glad I'm hearing it now. I'm Bill Belichick. What he wants is Kyle Shanahan's job. I mean, so.

I mean, he does. He's not gonna be on his staff. I feel like that's the way to get the job though, right? Is that you kinda go there and then you kinda just undermine him, undercut him, you talk to the owner, you start saying, you know, I've been looking over what's going on here and I gotta tell you the difference

between the champion and the culture is. A little game of 49ers. It's the head coach is really the problem. If I'm gonna really break this down for you, it's a, like you don't want to. It's a pretty good offensive coordinator. You don't wanna inject Bill Belichick into that system, I don't think, if you're anyone,

because once he's in, he's going to get his way, I think, right? He's a sweet talker, Bill Belichick, can we agree on that? Really? That's what you have to. I feel bad for the man in cast. Yeah, what's the saying,

you invite the wolf into the hen house? Sure. You let the guy in the door. That's I mean before you know you're out of it Don't be surprised when he has your job exactly right? dangerous game there from Kyle red flag Kyle Shanahan inviting him into the Celebration. Yeah, it's a little bit like a panic a panic move Wow panic or calm little bit. Yeah. Oh, I like that panic or calm Wow, panic or calm? Little bit, yeah. Oh, I like that panic or calm.

I mean. A staple. Very exciting. Wait, so you guys are saying that you don't bring Belichick. Does Belichick have a better chance of getting the job if he's on Shanahan staff or not on Shanahan staff? Because if Shanahan has Belichick on the staff,

they get off to a bad start. Some of that blame goes to Belichick as well, does it not? I don't know. I don't think he's gonna come into be a, look at Antonio Pierce, he was there, he was the one that took over, and now he's the head coach. Belichick, I mean, if he's on a staff and there is a coaching change, which there will not be, and I don't think anyone thinks that Shanahan

is going anywhere, I don't think anyone thinks that this is a make it or break it year for Kyle Shanahan, but if it was, if it was, and Bill Belichick's on the staff, he would at least finish out the season, right? Then if he turns things around, hey, we were wrong about old Bill. And it's a perfect spot because there's such a talented team that if something happens, that things go off the rail

and they fire Shanahan, Belichick can get wins with that team. Belichick would win nine Super Bowls with that team. I mean, he would. So you think the problem in San Francisco's Kyle Shanahan? I think Kyle Shanahan, there is some pressure for Kyle Shanahan to actually win a Super Bowl, yes. And if it's not this year,

it will be in the next couple of years. You can't have this kind of talent and be in the next, you know, couple of years. You can't have this kind of talent, and they have the most talented roster top to bottom, I think, in the NFL, and not win a Super Bowl, and call yourself the genius coach. I mean, eventually, the San Francisco 49ers are going to want to win with this group of players. If he can't win, I would assume they'd look to someone else, and why not look to Bill Belichick? So let's say Belichick goes over to San Francisco, right? And this is some crazy world. Belichick goes over to San Francisco. They were in the Super Bowl last year.

They fire Kyle Shanahan mid-season. Bill Belichick takes over the team, gets the, he writes the ship, gets them back on track and wins a Super Bowl with the 49ers, something Kyle Shanahan could never do. Does that sting Brady, winning a Super Bowl with the 49ers, something Kyle Shanahan could never do. Does that sting Brady, winning a Super Bowl with the 49ers? With his hometown team. Exactly right, the team that he was connected to for a long time, rooted for. Does that make it sting for Tom Brady?

Does he then consider maybe coming back? Wow, to one up Belichick. Yeah. Right. He would have to go back to New England, Brady, and win a Super Bowl in New England without Belichick. Yeah. Right. He would have to go back to New England, Brady, and win a Super Bowl in New England without Belichick. I love that. I love that closure. He goes, he plays with a different number

because his number's retired. So he said, you know what, I'm gonna do a new number now, new coach, new number. Old Tommy's back, he wins another one for Mr. Kraft. I don't know why they all call him Mr. Kraft. Have you noticed that? Because he writes the checks weird. No, yeah, but no one calls him like Robert, or no one calls him like Bobby. Bobby Kraft. Yeah, they all call him Mr. Craft. Have you noticed that? Because he writes the checks weird. Yeah, but no one calls him like Robert

or no one calls him like Bobby. Bobby Craft. Yeah, no one calls him Bob. They all just call him Mr. Craft. It's like, I feel like if I'm Mr. Craft, I'd be like, hey guys, call me Bob. Feel free to call me Bob once in a while. Exactly, I throw in a Bob every now and then.

Mr. Craft, that was my dad. That's what you say. You always say that when someone calls you. So you have Belichick coming back. So you have Brady going back to New England, wearing a different number, winning a Super Bowl, sticking it to Belichick, and they retire a second Brady jersey?

Wow, okay. So I wonder if in this scenario, they're playing against the 49ers in the Super Bowl, because then, then you retire a second jersey for sure. Oh my God. Then you retire a second jersey for sure. Then you retire a second jersey for sure. I mean that's a game for everything. How much money would Netflix pay for that game?

Well I don't think that CBS or whoever would just sell the Super Bowl that year. But could you imagine though, like if you know this is going to be the biggest Super Bowl ever and then the company that's broadcasting the game decides, you know what? Putting it up for sale. Exactly right. Of a bidding.

We're gonna, yeah, we're gonna turn this into a VRBO for the week. You get the game, just pay us rent. Jeff Bezos versus Netflix. Who gives out more money? 10 years of revenue for selling it. It would be like a $20 billion game. Is there a bigger game you would want?

Point is, you did stumble upon a good idea though, I think. I like the idea of knowing have no television network, having the rights to the super bowl, seeing what the matchup is and a bidding war. You know, you know that that would be a thing, right? They'd make that a TV special. Be the super bowl auction. We're going to start out with the pro bowl games. Who wants dodge ball? Who wants dodge ball? And then you move your way up. You talk to the representative. Who wants dodge ball? Who wants dodge ball? And then you move your way up.

You talk to the representative for CBS. Why are you doing it as an auctioneer? Well, because it's a Super Bowl auction. You put out the Super Bowl, you start out with the little things like, oh, we have the Pro Bowl, we have, you know, whatever, other theatrics. Hard knocks, TV networks. Yeah, you bring out Bruce Buffer,

he says, let's get ready to rumble. And then the auctioneer, he starts doing the bidding. And then the guy from CBS is like dejected in the corner. He's like, Oh man, I really thought I had him at 25 billion. And then, then Basil's comes out riding a horse. He's covered in armor. He's like, Oh mine. And then he like beds boom, 50 billion on this.

I do love that. Yeah. This is great. So let's play it out. Let's assume Brady did come back, Bella Jack West to San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan was fired and it was Niners Patriots. How high do you think the bidding would go to get that game if you're a net worth more?

$10 billion more. The answer is more. More. Now, logistically, it seems very difficult to do this. I will admit. It seems this would be a very quick turnaround from championship weekend to where are we airing the Super Bowl, but you know, what are you going to do? This is why you play Hey, Did You Hear?

Since the dawn of mankind, we've cooked our food over an open flame and debated the best way to grill. One thing not up for debate, grilling and beer always go together.

Stugats, we have a number of games to get to today. I know that I'm a serious man. I think most people would agree. I'm a serious man. I like to get to business. I know that I'm a serious man, I think most people would agree. I'm a serious man, I like to get to business. I'm not a man about games, but we have a lot of games to play today, we have a top five from Fuentes, we have more Mike Lee to get to. Did you just open a window, what happened there?

I turned the light on, sorry. Okay, no, it's okay. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. So anyways, I have a story that made me go hmm, this week also, if you wanna get to that at some point. We have some headlines we can get to, we have a number of things. Oh, NFL.com is releasing the top 100 players.

I don't know if you saw that. Very big week. Right now we have 100 to 70 have been released, so we know 100 to 70 of the top 100 NFL players. Hmm. Who is the 70th best player in the NFL according to this list? All right, so you wanna go to number 70, you said.

Yeah. The top 100. Okay, give me a second. Number 64. Like are you thrilled that you're number 70 on that list? I think that, you know what, I gotta be honest with you, we have 100 to 71. 70 comes out in the next round, but I will give you the number 71 if you'd like number 71 on the top 100 is Laramie Tunsel. Yep.

Up 14 points from last season. Gas mask kid. Let's do 72 was Garrett Wilson. I have Tunsel 54 on my list. So, I mean, I disagree with that. ass mask kid. Let's do 72 with Garrett Wilson. Get out of here. Up two. I have Tunsil 54 on my list. So I mean, I disagree with that. He's one of the best tackles in the game. I mean.

All right. Dolphin legend. On my list. Can I tell you? Les Miles call you back yet? No. I'm just looking here. Can I tell you who number 75 is?

And this is where things get interesting. Really? Number 75. Justin Herbert. Down 43 spots from last season. Fair. It's fair for him to go down 43 spots? What has he done?

Yeah, he had a bad year. At number 79, we have someone that dropped down 61 spots from last year in Minka Fitzpatrick. Wow. If I said to you that Justin Herbert, two years ago, would be on a list of top 100 players in the NFL, it would be that far down on the list. You'd be shocked, right?

Yeah, I think so. You figure he'd be top five at this point. Oh. He's supposed to be. Yeah, I know. That's what they're telling us. We were told he would be. Billy's not a fan of Herbert. I don't know if that's entirely fair. He's not a he's not a fan of everybody talking about Herbert, I think.

That's closer. That's closer to fair. Yeah. OK. Yeah. okay. Oh And I have one for Stu gots and Mikey that they're gonna hate Okay, you want the one that you're Aaron you want the one that you love or the one do you hate? I want the I want the one that we hate. Okay, the one that you hate Dropping down 41 spots to number 92 on the top 100, Aaron Rodgers. Oh my God. I'm surprised you made the list. The 90 seconds.

You know what, I actually like it. I like it. I don't want the expectations to be too high. I like that. I mean, people are predicting them to go to the Superbowl. I need this. That's good. I'm fine with that.

Let Aaron climb up the rankings. Aaron Rodgers. I would just play this season. I hate that he didn't play in a full game and or a full series actually. And he's still on the rankings. Aaron Rodgers. Will just play this season. I hate that he didn't play in a full game and or a full series actually. And he's still on the list. Body of work. Anybody needs a chip on their shoulder.

It's Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. He loves a chip on his shoulder. He does. Love a good chip on the shoulder. Well, here's the thing guys. And Fuentes, this actually may be sad news for you. This person went up in the NFL top 100, moved up two spots to number 94 on the list. Trevor Lawrence. About where he is. That's crazy.

He's going to make a career of being in the 90s. Two spots to 94, just signed $50 million a year. On the rise. Crazy. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Anyway. Doug Peterson, hot seat. 45 years, he'll be in the top 10.

Doug Peterson, now or never? I mean, yeah. Ooh, now or never. That's another game. Take it or break it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. You forgot the name of the game, but that game works, now or never.

This one is better. I don't. The thing is, is with Doug Peterson, I don't think there's ever a never. There's always a next with Doug Peterson. I feel like once you get a Super Bowl, there's always like, when's the next? Yeah. Yeah. Right.

He got a Super Bowl. It was fired two years later by the team he wanted for though. Are there people still calling Bill Cower every off season? Like, oh, maybe this'll be the job that'll bring him out of retirement. I would say I want to put together a top five list of coaches that teams are still calling because not only do I think I believe they're calling

Bill Cower, they're calling Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells as well. When, let me ask you guys a question. When there is a coach firing, let's say a firing happens right after a game, right? So Sunday happens, one o'clock game happens, we're in week like 10 of the season, whatever, and it's like, okay, this person is out.

We need an interim coach now. And then like the, I don't know, Fox, NFL Sunday, or CBS NFL coverage happens who do you think whose phone rings first like if the phone rings who do you think grabs their phone first and that's one that's ringing for the new coaching hire my guess would be cowers didn't cowers as always like he's ready for the phone to ring and who do you think is the person that's looking at their phone and they're, reception bad in here.

Like what's happening? Why aren't they calling me? Yeah, what's going on here? I don't think Jimmy Johnson cares enough anymore to be that guy. I think Jimmy is the guy. I think people call Jimmy and he's like, when are you gonna learn your lesson?

I'm not coming back. I made the same call for 15 years. I'm done with this. I feel like Jimmy has a price. I don't know. You don't think Jimmy has a price. I don't think him or Coward do, honestly. Really?

Bill Belichick is the one who keeps looking at his phone and is not bringing it. Bill Belichick is the one looking at the phone. Bill Belichick gets a phone and they're like, oh my God, like Bill, you wanna, we have this game that's gonna be on Netflix, you wanna break down some Xs and Os on Netflix? No, I want a coach, damn it,

stop calling me for broadcasting jobs. He's gonna be working every game of every network. He's gonna have more jobs than he does. His days are gonna be longer breaking down film for all these analyst gigs that he has hoping to get the next coaching job. Nick Saban definitely has a busy phone when somebody's fired.

Do you think Nick Saban got calls this off season? For sure. Do you think Nick Saban got NFL calls this off season? Oh no. I'm sure he got the tires kicked a little bit. Like, hey, you know, it's been a while, you know, why don't you, you know. What about Nick?

Yeah, Arizona's nicest time of year. You really, you guys really think Nick Saban has another coaching gig in him? No, I just say he's getting calls. No, no, no, no, Billy, I believe that an NFL organization this past off season spent some time kicking the tires around on Nick Saban and whether or not they should make a call to him.

That I do believe, yes. There was at least a discussion before the call, at least. Right, right, but no call was ever made. No call, but they had a discussion about, hey, who can we call? Nick's available. Would you think that Nick Saban would go to the NFL again? Absolutely not.

I don't think so either. Well, you said Jimmy has a price. You don't think Nick has a price? Nick had whatever he wanted in Alabama and he walked away. I think that Nick walked away because he knew the walls were closing in on him. And he knew that he lost. Not, I don't want to say he lost his touch, but like it was a different game. Right?

So like the longer that he went, that he wasn't able to like adapt and win at the game that was currently happening, the more people then question his, I think greatness of all time. I have a question. Yes. Do you think that Saban ends up winning the national title that year? Do you think he still retires? Says, Hey, this is not for me anymore. Even though if he wins it last year, you're saying, yeah, like he would've

been like, because he went out in the top four, right? So he would have, he was, they made it to the playoff last year, but perhaps the worst team he's had. So he wasn't that far away. So you think if they lost to the national champion, if he would have won the title, I think it would have been like, I'm out anyway. No. No, I don't think so. Billy, I will say this. The one blemish, I guess, on Nick Saban's resume is his NFL coaching career

was his time with the with the Miami Dolphins. And so maybe there's an issue that he wants to scratch. Like, hey, I'm a good coach. I'm a good coach at this at the college level, the professional level and I want to take another crack at it Maybe i'm just saying I don't you don't think if Dallas calls with Dallas That's what i'm saying. Yeah, it has to be the exact right situation with the right amount of talent. Yes I mean billy if nick saving got a call from jerry jones to coach the cowboys. You don't think he'd be interested I don't think that nick Saban is going to correct

his shortcomings 20 years after his failures. Yeah, I think he already accepted that. Yeah, I think he knew like- I'm okay being the best college guy ever. Yeah. He accepted it and made up for it. He overcompensated. And by the way-

With the national championships. He was so good at it that like, people will just call him the greatest coach ever, not even say college specifically. He's the greatest coach ever. We have him in sitting around with great NFL coaches despite never winning anything in the NFL. When you think of the greatest football coaches of all time,

Nick Saban and maybe one other college guy, you put in that list, and that's it. I mean, I think Belichick. No, obviously I'm saying. But you're saying college, right? You list all these great. No, he's saying the greatest coaches. Ever.

If you had a Mount Rushmore. Yeah. Saban, Belichick and I guess he's saying maybe another. Yeah, but. Shula. Well, he's still the most winningest coach in history. Have you heard of Bill Walsh? I mean.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, but you're gonna put Nick Saban in this great football coach thing, Bill Walsh? I mean, yeah, that's what I'm saying. But you're going to put Nick Saban in like this great football coach thing, even though he wasn't really great in the NFL is what I'm saying. Right. Oh, man. I do think it bothers Nick that he couldn't have success in the in the NFL. I think that bothers him. I'm not saying he's going to coach again, but I think given the right situation like the Cowboys, it's something he would consider. He kicked the tires on. OK.

I remember I remember talking to Herm Edwards before he took the Arizona state job and we asked him if there was a, a job, he would go back to the NFL. He says, no, I wouldn't take no, I'm not no teams. I don't even answer the phone. And we said, what if the Eagles call? And he stopped and he went, my wife would have to say no to that one. And I think that's what the Cowboys are for saving. I think he'd say no to everybody, but if Jerry called, he'd be like,

Ms. Terry, you're going to have to say, I don't think so. Cause he would want the full autonomy. Like he would want to do everything and there's no way Jerry's giving that up. It doesn't matter. No, but if you're Jerry and you're calling Bill Belichick, you're giving him every day. That's true. That's the deal when you call it Bill Belichick, you give them everything. How many old guys, you know you know wanna give up power?

I don't know too many. Huh. Hmm. Interesting. I'm trying to find here, and I wanted to surprise you guys with it, but I'm trying to find here, and we'll play more micrically

because it's gonna take me a while. I'm trying to find the college equivalent of Nick Saban's NFL career in terms of win percentage. So Nick Saban is an NFL coach with the Dolphins at a 4.69 win percentage and I'm trying to find a 4.69 win percentage college football coach to say, oh my God, Nick Saban is. So Les Miles is a better college football coach.

Yeah, I was gonna say check Les Miles. College coach that Nick Saban was an NFL coach? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Look at that. You think you know a guy. same it was at a file code? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Look at that. You think you know a guy. July's ending with a bang UFC 304 with not just one but two titles on the line. Get your own crown.

So we didn't get to more Mike Lee last segment because we got distracted and then started talking about a world in which Nick Saban came back and coached in the NFL to prove to people that he was a great NFL coach even though he kind of failed spectacularly the first time around. So anyways, Mike Lee, or Mikey, not Mike Lee.

Anyways, Mikey, I apologize to that. The floor is yours for a new game of more Mike Lee. Anyways, Mikey, I apologize to that. The floor is yours for a new game of more Mike Lee. Well, I appreciate that Billy. And just for that, we'll start with more Mike Lee for you to want as your next head coach, Dan Campbell or Matt LaFleur. Dan Campbell. Just cause you like him?

Yeah, just cause I like him. Matt LaFle, for me. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I mean, both those guys aren't going anywhere. Well, but right in the more I would. World they are. I would say Dan Campbell. I'm with Billy. I take Dan Campbell.

You guys want the leader as opposed to the X's and O's guy. I want a guy that kind of projects football. Yeah, Campbell does that. I want a guy that does anyone projects football more than Dan Campbell. No, no, no, I want. Yeah, I want I want all of Dan Campbell. I will say this. I have like a personal rankings list of winners and losers once we removed COVID masks.

And Matt LaFleur was on my list of winners after we removed COVID masks. Because before you would only see half of people's faces when they had the COVID mask. Matt LaFleur, winner. Oh, and when he took it off, you realize what a good looking man he is. Yes, Kevin Stefanski, loser.

Right. Yeah, but Dan Campbell never wore a mask. That's why I want him to be my coach. You know what I'm saying? I don't know if that's actually accurate, but I believe. I'll go down that path with you. It's just the way I imagined it. I have no idea.

His coachee was his mask. You had him just punching COVID every time he saw it. Hoo, hoo, hoo. Whoops. You just kicked the microphone. We're good. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Flint does. Little now or never for Le Fleur. Wow, that's a question. I mean, seriously, he's been to championship games with Aaron Rodgers. Now he has a great young quarterback who's sitting out because unlike Tua, he knows how to negotiate and do business. I mean, now or never? I mean, now that Jordan Love is something,

we didn't know if he was something before. Well, something or nothing. This is a big year to find out. Let me tell you, we're rolling with the games today. Big year to find out something or nothing, and then if it's nothing, who's to blame? My favorite part of the show so far is in the second segment, Billy goes,

I'm not a man of games, when that's literally all we've been doing for the past three weeks. Always. That's part of the game. Yep. I do what needs to be done, whether I'm a man of games or not. Sometimes if I'm asked to become a man of games,

I'll become a man of games, but those that know me know I'm not a man that's a man of games. You're a serious man. Listen, we're just filling time until the games actually start, the real games. I do not think that this is just filling time. I think that we're doing a quality program here.

Matt LaFleur is my answer. I agree. I agree. Yeah, okay. More Mike Lee. Oh, more Mike Lee to get his contract issues resolved by the start of the season, Tua or Stephen A Smith. Wow.

I mean, Stephen A is a guy he will negotiate and he will negotiate some more. He will take his time. Stephen A is not getting taken advantage of because he's too nice the way Billy says Tua is. That's what I'm saying. So Stephen A will take his time and he will get it exactly right.

Tua's gonna accept whatever the hell they give him. So that's my answer. So you think Tua is gonna get his contract resolved quicker than Stephen A? Yeah, just because Tua wants to play football, he's a nice guy Stephen A. Yeah, just cause two wants to play football. He's a nice guy. He wants to be there. He wants to play quarterback for this team.

And therefore he will take a contract for a lot less than he should take. Yes. Yeah. I'll go to a two, I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Stephen A loves this.

He loves the negotiation. He loves the public negotiation. This is gonna drag out for years. I'm for years. He's in it for the chase. Yes. I'm kind of in on Stu's like the dolphins are waiting for Dak thing. So I don't think, because if you're the dolphins, you've already

You would have signed them already. Correct. And like, so you're waiting around for all these guys that get paid, knowing every one of those guys that get paid. Like, Tuah led the league in passing last year. So he has the most leverage in terms of what I've done. Like, if you're going to do that, like what does Jordan love have to stand on? He has one year they actually went to the NFC championship game. It was an up and down year, but to like led the league in passing.

Yeah. He has like all the legs to stand on. You're still not giving him a deal. So the dolphins are like, well, he's going to play whether you pay him or not. So we might as well just wait around, see if Dallas fumbles a bag and then you're in on that. Because if the dolphins, the dolphins can't just punt on to it. Cause punting on to it means you're punting on Tyreek Hill.

That means you gave Waddle all this money for nothing. So it's like, I don't know. It's, it's, I think. Back in free agency is going to cost a lot more than two a resigning, but I feel no doubt about it, but the sit and wait game is a dangerous game because keep in mind, Fuentes, maybe they start one and three, but then Nick Saban takes over. That's true. If they call Nick Saban, Nick Saban's like, oh, I'm going back to where it all started. I'm going to take my knee to the promised land. Yeah. Right. Mike McDaniel's crying in an airport somewhere.

Right. And then Dak wants to stay in Dallas. And hey, Nick Saban and Toua relationship. Right. Oh, wow. Mind blown. Look at you. I will say- This is what what more Michael is meant to do. I will say this. He did lead the league in passing last season. It was a bit of a down year in terms of league leaders in terms of passing. It's been, it is the lowest passing yards per season since 2017. When Tom Brady led with 4500, he had 4,600 in 2023 but just leading the league in passing in 2019 Jamis Winston led the league in passing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and in 2020 he was on the Saints. So what you're saying is the Dolphins need to call Jamis Winston if this tour thing

doesn't work out. Let me tell you something. Electric. I'm a big Jamis guy. I love Jamis. Billy loved Jamis. Now Billy, I believe Jamis was replaced by Tom Brady. Big Jamis guy. Yeah, that's right. He was. That'll do it.

That's a good point. That'll do it. That will do it. Yeah. He also led the league at interceptions. I know. It was, man, it was a year. What a ride.

It was a roller coaster year. What a ride that was Anyway more likely yeah Okay more likely to repeat as their version of player of the year Christian McCaffrey or Myles Garrett That's a good question I I'm going to say Myles Garrett. Why? I feel like his job is just dependent on him being a beast and dominating guys one on one where McCaffrey needs a lot of things to fall into place. He needs a decent.

And he's good at that. Yeah. He needs like some good blocking. I mean, the scheme is there for him. Like I thought he was going to be the MVP of the Superbowl if they would have won. So I, but I think, I think Myles Garrett more likely. I'm going to say Christian McCaffrey, not because you said my own guy, Miles Garrett, and I want to go the opposite way. Uh, that offense is set up for McCaffrey to be the guy and to have big years, especially with Brock Purdy is the quarterback. So I'm going to say McCaffrey.

I am going to say Miles Garrett and you're going to think I'm crazy for the reason, but I was going to do it because of health, which is crazy, because Myles Garrett always has an injury history. Something. He always has a little nick though. He always has like a little nick, like he has like a little bit of shoulder pain. But Caffrey does as well, by the way,

he's been injured throughout his career. No, no, a lot. Christian and Caffrey has some bumps and bruises along the way also, but I'm gonna go with Myles Garrett. There, yep. We have one more? Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. We have one more. Yeah, sure. Uh, more likely,

more Mike Lee to be on their current team next year, T Higgins or Brandon Iuke this year, next year, 2025, 2025, they're not getting traded. They're not getting cut. Oh, okay. So we're hopping in the time machine. The 2025 season is what you're saying. Yep. Looking ahead. We're already on the next season, huh? Looking ahead. I can't get to this season quick enough.

I mean, you're on the next season. Oh, I'm going to say Iuke. He'll stay with the Niners. I think he will. And, and it's not for the reason that you might think. I don't think that it's going to be because he's happy. I think it's going to be because of, I believe private conversations that it's gonna be because he's happy. I think it's gonna be because of, I believe, private conversations that we've had here.

I think Stugatsa said it. Who is he to be making trade requests? I'm pretty sure that's the comment that's gone around like, let's make a top five list of people who shouldn't be making trade requests. And he is on the top of the list, as you have said. So I think he will be on this team. Not very happy, but he will still be remaining on this team.

I'm going to go T Higgins because who the hell would lead Joe Burrow? I'm going to say Brandon Ayuk just because T Higgins is already franchise tagged. Jamar Chase is in front of him. Jamar Chase is not going anywhere. If you're going to give him a receiver money, it's going to be Jamar Chase. It's not going to be T Higgins. And also T Higgins said this might be the final ride. So all those things together. He said it might be the final ride. That's negotiating right there. It's a negotiating point. But when you have Jamar Chase,

when you have Chase, that makes your job easier. If T Higgins thinks he's the number one, maybe he goes elsewhere. That's what I think he's doing. I like being a number two. Let Jamar Chase have all the attention and expectations. Have T Higgins over here playing with a number two. Let your mark chase up all the attention and expectations. Have T Higgins over here playing with a great quarterback. He stays there. I want to do a new game.

Oh, it's called, can I ask you guys a question? I like this. I like that. Yeah, I like this game and yes you can. Can I ask you guys a question? Is requesting a trade worth anything anymore? No. I remember when players used to request a trade

and then it was like, well, we got to trade them now. And now it's just like, it's the next step of deleting all those stuff on Instagram. Like it seems like it's just a nothing thing. That's my favorite move, the deleting everything on Instagram. Well, yeah, that's everybody's favorite move because it's so stupid. It's, it's the first shot though. It's always the first shot. Like, Oh, wait a minute. This player might be unhappy. He deleted all the stuff.

That's and then the negotiation. Yeah. If you, if you want Bleacher report all over you, just delete all your stuff on Instagram and take, take the Baltimore Ravens out of your bio. All of a sudden it's on fire. If you're the person that like is searching the bios to make sure that Baltimore Ravens is still on it, get your priorities in order. You think it's an intern that walks into the Bleacher Report office in the morning and they're like, hey, we need you to check

every player's bio. Get something to do. Make sure that. It's too much. It's too much. Anyway. You think a general manager has ever said, hey, he deleted us from his Instagram?

I do think. John Lynch is walking around, oh no. I do think there's. Oh no, I do. I do think there's a Caffrey deleted us out of the bio. I think there is a general manager. I don't know which one does that. There definitely is one that's like, Oh guys, red flag. We're in trouble now. Guys. Oh my God. You won't believe it. Austin. It would have to be a younger one, right? Or an older one that just

doesn't understand how easy it is to do that. And then just restore it immediately. Hey, what's this mean? We have Billy's story of the week to get to. I'm very excited about that. We have a Fuente's top five to get to as well. And we have some other stuff as well.

But Fuente's, when do you wanna do your top five? Do you wanna do it now? Do you wanna do it next segment? Well, we got a minute left in this segment, but then that, when do you want to do your top five? Do you want to do it now? Do you want to do it next segment? Well, we got a minute left in this segment, but then that's going to leave a lot to do in the fourth segment. So we have to filibuster here for a minute. Okay. Okay.

Or we can just go to the next segment. Let's go to the next segment. All right. Running out of time here on God bless football. So we're going to jump right into my top five and it's top five teams I'm worried about headed into training camp. As we know, that's the top five I was hoping for you teased it earlier. I was hoping all teams have reported all teams are reported training.

Worried how can't wait. This is great. Beautiful. We're going to start with the number five Cincinnati Bengals. Okay. Okay. You guys saw Joe Burrows haircut. Yeah, I start with the number five Cincinnati Bengals. Oh, okay. Okay. I saw Joe Burrows haircut Yeah, I agree with you. You know what? I was thinking why the Bengals they should not be in a top five Anyone's top five teams they're concerned about because the talent is so the roster is so loaded with talent But I did see Joe Burrows haircut and now I do agree with you

I am concerned about the Bengals as well. Not his wrist, not his calf, his hair. Coming off an injury with that haircut, T Higgins on a tag, Mar Chase has some contract stuff, Zach Moss in the backfield, Joe Mixon's in Houston. Little worried about Cincinnati Bengals. For those who haven't seen his haircut, he looks like Eminem in like 1999. Correct, very slippery.

Last week we spoke about buzzing your hair, and since then it's been bleached as well. Yeah, buzzed and bleached. Yeah. Yeah, so. Hmm. A double winner. Concerns.

Yeah. Concerns. Number four, the Buffalo Bills. Right? Yeah, the Buffalo Bills. The narrative of the last few years, get Josh Allen help even when he had Stefan Diggs. Now he has Marquez Valdez-Skantling, Mac Hollins,

rookie Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Chase Claypool. Yeah, you know what, you're right. He has less help than he's ever had. Not great, yeah. Number three, the Minnesota Vikings. Wow. Don't let him say it. They locked in Justin Jefferson, but I don't know.

J.J. McCarthy, a guy? J.J. McCarthy, a guy? New game, guy or not a guy? Don't have a doubt. Sam Darnal we guy? Not a guy. Don't have a that. Sam Darnold we know is not a guy. Don't you say a bad word about Sam Darnold. We don't know if Sam Darnold's a guy yet. No.

Okay, you have to see him play somewhere else other than New York. He's like on his fourth team. There's still a shot. And Carolina. Yeah, and San Francisco. Right. That's the moment in San Francisco.

Other than that though. Exactly, and then the Packers are rising. The Lions are an NFC championship team. The Bears have gotten better. Worried about the Minnesota Vikings. Why are you defending Sam Darnold's two guts? He feels like he's still a jet. Because he's not Zach Wilson.

That's my reason. He's starting by the way as well I think. Number two. The Los Angeles Chargers. Wow. Do you know where their big off season signing was at receiver this year? They drafted a kid.

They drafted a kid from Georgia, Lad McConkey. But they lost Keenan Allen. Lost Keenan Allen and they lost Mike Williams. And Mike Williams. So who was their big splash in the receiver pool this season? Ooh. DJ Chark.

Oh. Signed DJ Chark. Oh. Signed DJ Chark. They also got the broken pinball machine parts from the Ravens, Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins in their backfield after losing Austin Eckler. So if Jim Horriball can find a way to make the offense tick, coach of the year. Okay.

Is DJ the number one in Los Angeles? No, I'd probably say it's the rookie kid. Okay. Ladd. Ladd McConkey. I'm just thinking about fantasy drafts, you know, just because it's number one or two, DJ Shark is going to be taking 10 rounds before you should be taking. They still have Everett, right? The tight end Gerald Everett, right?

So, um, I can't believe DJ Shark would be the guy. No, they still have the other guys too. The guys that nobody really cares about. What's his name? Palmer? Well, they got the first rounder they drafted last year Quinton Johnson Yeah, but rough rough times it for the Chargers offense. Yeah number one We've already kind of talked about my Miami Dolphins not because of Tua that is a that is a big thing

But the D line is in shambles pass rush is not there. They had two guys suffer season-ending injuries Chubb coming back from an injury. He's going to be back late. I don't know what Jaylen Phillips is going to look like. They just resigned Ogba who they clearly didn't want and they only signed him because Shakbert retired. So it's, I'm worried about the pass rush. So those are my five.

But you got rid of Big Fragio. Right. We did, we got rid of Fragio, but you know, a chef's only as good as his ingredients. Wow. I do like that because those are five teams that have expectations, yet you're saying that you're still concerned about them, headed in.

Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that you can move around the top five, but the Dolphins defense gets concerning. You do not know the rules of a top five. Once you set it in stone, you cannot move it around. For all eternity. No. Let's get to Billy's story of the week. It has turned into my favorite segment here on God Bless Football. All right, StuGuts, this week's story of the week. Are you ready for it?

Yeah. And this is gonna go into consideration for story of the month. If you remember last week's- Good. Last week's- It's a week month. Yeah. If you remember, well, you haven't heard the story yet. Come on, this could be a great story. You never know. So if you remember last well, you haven't heard the story yet, come on, this could be a great story, you never know.

So, if you remember last week's story of the week, it was that Patrick Mahomes and his wife were expecting their third child and Patrick announced this would be it. This is the last child that the Mahomes family would be having. Now, this week's story of the week, going up against that one for story of the month, is Lamar Jackson and Troy Aikman are in a legal battle over the number eight. Troy Aikman recently tried to set up a trademark for the word eight E-I-G-H-T so that he could use it on you know different things and Lamar Jackson there are reports that he sued Troy Aikman and other ones just that he has kind of put in a complaint against the

unnoticeable opposition at the US Patent and Trademark Office because he thinks that people might get confused with Troy Aikman using the trademark eight thinking that it is him. So Stugat's one number eight is kind of in a legal battle with another number eight so that there's no confusion over who is number eight. A couple of number eights cutting it up, huh? Yeah. Hmm. You think they should just split the difference and both get four?

When you hear the number eight, who do you think of? Do you think of Troy Aikman or do you think of Lamar Jackson? Or do you think of someone else? I happen to have a list of top five athletes to wear the number eight of all time. Wow. And perhaps that will settle it. You'll find something within there that will settle this debate.

Do you have any OILs on that? I don't. I just have a straight five for you. Oh, cause some, some would think maybe a top eight of the number eight. Yeah. How did you not do a top eight number eight? Listen, I'm sorry. I have these top five lists.

I was not prepared to do a top eight. I'll, I'll add three names to it. If you'd like me to do it. No, it's okay. Don't worry. Sorry. Don't worry about that. A little late now. You're top five. I'm glad you. It's a top eight. I'll add three names to it if you'd like me to do it. No, it's okay. Don't worry. It's all right. Don't worry about that. It's a little late now. You're top five. I'm glad you-

It's not too late. It's never too late. I mean, don't tell me it's too late. Lucky us that you just had that list handy. I know. That's what I'm saying, but it's not a top eight list. It's a top five list, but if you want me to add three, I could add three. Okay? I'm happy to do it. Why did you have that list waiting by you, if you don't mind me asking? I just, I have, it's always by me. You have all the numbers ready to go. Yes, I have all the numbers.

Go to number 22, I have it for you, Emmett Smith. There you go. All right. Okay, OLI by the way, Yogi Berra. How about that? So you do have an OLI. Wow, Yogi OLI. Yeah, I won OLI.

Even though I said I didn't have one five seconds ago. Number eight, Willie Starjol. Number seven, Joe Morgan. I'm so confused, hold on a second. You had a top five, I said, are there any OLIs? You said no, just a straight top five. And then I said, you think you have an eight? And you said no, only five.

And you said no lie. Yeah, but I felt bad because you were disappointed I didn't have eight and now I wanted to give you eight and now you don't want eight. You're giving, you're now giving us nine though. All right, that's a fair, that's a fair point. So is your top nine number eight? That's an odd list to have handy.

It is, but I'm glad you had it. All right, what was number seven? You know what? Forget you, I'm doing top five, straight five. No, no, let's- Number five. No, finish top nine. No, no, I can't go back again.
