You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levatar Show with this two-gots podcast. Congratulations to that 32-year-old who won the Little League World Series where they walk off home run. It reminded me of travel team baseball whenever it is that we would go play Tammy Ami or Flag Ami when we were young and the first basement for the other team I'd be 12 years old would show up in his car with a cigarette and a beer. My Little League World Series hopes were dashed by the Tammy Ami Titans. They were

full of 16 year olds who were eventually kicked out of the league. That is correct. That is correct. Billy, did you, did you travel? Where did you play little league baseball? I played at West Kendall Optimist. Did you travel? Did that team travel? Oh, no. Well, we did. Actually, we had one team that went undefeated. It was like the first, no, no, no, thanks to me. I was Billy Bunn. We've already heard about those stories, but that's when I was, you know, a master at Bunting. That team was probably the team that I was closest at being competitive at, like being

on a team that could play for the Little League World Series, but then the league banned our coach because they didn't like his practices and he had previously been banned from Tammy Amie Park for similar practices. So like he was running out of stops at that point. And then I played at glades for like a season. I was the teal socks because I don't know how it worked when you were like youth baseball, where I guess you could use team logos

and adopt their names as long as you just changed the colors of the team. Like for example, I don't know. I guess that's how they skirt it around things. Because why else would the Oclinets be purple? Why would the white socks be teal when they're called the white socks? And we're using their logo, but our team is teal.

These things didn't make sense. Why were the cardinals white? They just didn't have red anywhere in their uniform. White hats. Why would you have white hats and lead in youthly baseball? And none of it made sense to me. Do you remember my question? I remember that the coach, I should say the coach.

It was the assistant coach. I think his name was Scott of the Teosox. It was the time when like South Park was like really catching on. And I was maybe like 10 years old. Like 10 year olds should not have been watching South Park ever really, but like not at the beginning when things were wild. But on the whole, Juju at Levitade show should 10 year olds be watching South Park ever. Really, but like, not at the beginning when things were wild. I know, old Juju at Levitade show should 10 year olds be watching South Park.

So the kids on the team were in the dugout talking about South Park and Coach Scott, who again was the assistant coach, I had glasses, a bit of a nerd. So Coach Scott was talking about how, you know, he watched South Park, but none of the kids showed it. I'm like, Coach Scott, I feel like we're giving the wrong message here.

Like you shouldn't be talking to the kids about South Park while chill hoping that they don't watch it. But I don't think Scott had many friends. So Scott just wanted to talk to anyone about South Park, you know? My question was, whether your team traveled at all. No, because our coach got banned from the league, so we couldn't travel. But that would have been the team to do it, but Lazaro, funny business. We've talked about Lazaro before, where he figured out a way to manipulate the draft in

the most Lazaro coach way possible, where you had like protected picks and some coach decided to be cute and he decided not to protect his own son so that he could get Charlie Mack who was amazing. And then what happened, Lazaro said, you know what, I'm going to pick that coach's son, and I'm going to hold him hostage until I get the best player in the league. And that's why they didn they like lasso around those parts christian either did you play uh... travel baseball did you did you run did you run into any of these latin teams that had a kid

like the kid who hit the home run to win the little league world series where you're watching it call ravages announcing and he's saying ravi can you play this sound for the people because this was exceptional timing curacao has not allowed a home run at the world series challenge and this game is over the kid is as big as otani ha ha ha ha ha. Listen to the sound that bad makes after

ravage says that Kurosau has not allowed a home run. Kurosau has not allowed a home run at the World Series. Challenge, Jim and this game is over. Cody, did you run into any of those local Latin teams? Because I went in as some powerhouses. We had some powerhouses in our little Miramar division. That kid was 6'1. I mean, 6'1, for real. He is listed as 6'1.

Yes, I dealt with a lot of that. I never got to... I never got to walk off home run. Everybody in the Little League World Series is taller than you, Mr. Gats. I missed out on the walkoff. I never did it. I never got taller than you. I never got a walkoff homerun. Everybody in the Little League World Series is taller than you, Mr. Gats. I missed out on the walkoff. I never did it. I never celebrate. I never got to celebrate a walkoff. A game winning shot.

That's gotta be so cool. He peaked, though, right? This kid. It's not gonna get better for this kid. Oh, 100% that's a highlight of life. He's gonna accomplish nothing. Respectfully. To the kid about it. I'm his parents. I'm feeling bad.

I'm like, oh, no. You want to be a late bloomer or have a late bloomer? Because then they have to develop personality and character. If you're like the tall kid You're just always gonna be the tall kid and then everyone's gonna be like, oh my god You're so tall. You're so good at sports and then you don't develop fully as a human being and you're just like a doorknob to talk to no one's to talk to you ever Sorry kid. You're not sorry. I'm not really if I'm gonna be honest with you Respectfully that kid his peak he will never do I said he peaked I said this is the most he's gonna call say disrespectfully That kid peaked and that's it. That's I'm really worried about him I'm really worried about that kid because imagine peaking a 13 years old

Knowing the rest of your life is down hill well. He doesn't know yet. He'll learn. No. No. He'll learn when he's like 22 He learned no no he'll learn when he's like 22 Yeah, this kid thinks 100% Socks I think you'll go to the majors. Yes, and it's not rude Dan. It's a numbers game How many of these kids have you ever heard Tom Frazier that's exactly right like Every other league world series we're here about the top father games for the little league world series I feel bad for him on that too. Don't get me started on that guys make 40 million dollars

Why is he wasting his time in William sport Pennsylvania called a little You call it a little kid game? How about enjoy your family? You're remembering the poor kid's lives. Geez, Todd Fother. How about enjoy 40 million dollars and not calling games of these little kids? Literally world series, I'm out. Creepy. I wouldn't say it's creepy, but I also do not like it. Some just doesn't sit right about it. What? It just does it. To me, it sits perfectly.

To me, it sits perfectly. It sits perfectly. I love it. I think I wouldn't mind it if it weren't so nationally broadcasting. Thank you. We're like, if it were just something that you could go to a YouTube stream and watch, I think I'd be fine with it, but it's like a money maker. I don't like that.

How about some NIL deals for these kids, you know what I mean? Exactly. The idea that he would peak with that home run, I'd take it as a peak. I don't know that I've ever accomplished anything that would feel as good as that must have felt to that kid. Yeah, in the moment, but now it's over. Now what does he have? Right. So are you willing to peak at 13 years old for that to be?

I'm just, I'm just saying, yes. What's the best it has to be? What's the best it has to be? I'm saying that that is a pretty good way to peak. To peak, to be someone who hits the home run that wins the Little League World Series that makes Carl Ravage sound like a fool, that makes the bat makes that sound.

I still remember a game winner I hit an intramural basketball. Really? I do. What is your? What is your athletic achievement that you still remember and how much better is it than my intramural game winner? I had six threes in one game. It's still a record along the last time you told us that you have the records been a while. That's it. I didn't peek that in the 42s. The pervigaged peak. We can all agree. Yeah. 42s when you want to peak solid age. Yeah. Yeah, like professionally like half your life is gone. We want the best thing for this kid at 42. 13. It was great when it happened.

No one's disputing that, but now what? Yeah. He's got an awesome fun fact for when he's 42 and has to introduce himself in a new job. Good starter at two truths in a life. Was your game winning bucket like a rebound? You put it back in. They didn't throw to you for they didn't draw it up for you.

You weren't getting your own shot. They didn't draw it up for me, but our big score was double. And so he made the smart pass. I imagine you in the quarter-wide open, yeah. I was admittedly scared. I didn't expect it to go in. I'm picturing Dad with the step back,

the Kebble Walker step back at the free throw line. Get it to Levitar, get out of his way. Nope, that's not. Let me. That's not. At all how it went, I was in a panic. I did not know how much time was left on the clock. I was very relieved, generally, when the ball went in.

And then I heard the buzzer. It was more relief than enthusiasm, really, because I shouldn't have been taking the shot. And you guys are right. You guys are right to say that there's a reason I was open and the reason that the double team wasn't anywhere near me. But again, as an athletic achievement,

I've never felt better. Now I had some nice moves on goal scores in soccer, but my dad would get mad at me because I wore a headband and wristbands and he thought I was too flashy. So I'd get yelled at for being a showman. So weird. It is. You know, he knocked it out of me early. It led to a lifetime of oppression. Incapable of showing much in the way of joy because you're It's not that. It's not that. It's not that. It's not that. It's not that.

It's not that. It's not that. It's not that. It's not that. It's not that. It's not that. It's not that. It's not that. It's't know. I don't know. You're assuming it's a layup.

You guys, you have like a sky hook from like a three point line. I had you as a guy they put onto the hoop. Hey, go down there and get to work. Garbage man. Thank you, Stu Gott. I mean, that's a loose ball that just ends up in your hands

that you've grabbed off the ground and you're just tossing over your shoulder. And in your head, it's a baby hook, right? Like it's just a toss, not even looking at the ground. I'm afraid someone's coming. Just throw it up in the air I want to see the footage yeah sure balls on the ground damn picks it up he kind of sort of turns out throw it up oh go oh my god baby from now I'll tell everyone it was a baby hook yeah they won't know the difference 10 years from now to sky hook we have a number of things to get to here Lucy thought that week zero of college football was great. It was perfect.

I am stunned that in the year of our Lord 2023, our United States military still thinks the way to do it is let's get 11 yards on four plays. place. Let's see if we could go down the field. Let's see if we could just do this by getting fourth and one and then we'll get two yards and when we need two yards we'll get two yards, when we need three yards we'll get two yards, when we need four yards we'll get two yards. I had a spicy idea this weekend that I like to share with you in regards to our armed services. idea this weekend that I like to share with you in regards to our armed services. I think we should re-implement the draft after games that they lose and they're allowed to draft someone from any team that beats them. Just to improve, because we want the strongest, the brightest, the best people defending our country, right?

So, like, if Notre Dame decides to get cutesy woo-tsy and pound on the naivere, the army, or whatever, guess what? One of your players is up for grabs and then they're part of the armed services moving forward. Yeah. Only games that they lose. Explain this concept to me. It's a good idea.

Don't just respect the militia. So if you lose to the nave you're safe. We want the best of the best representing our country and defending us. So if they are not the best, they're allowed to take someone to make them the best. And you're saying if Notre Dame loses? No, if they beat them. If they beat them. If they get a Notre Dame football player. If they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if they, if could just be like, yeah, rah, rah, rah. Go Yankees. Stugats. You know, unsettling would be if I attended a live sporting event

and someone behind me was just going, rah, rah, rah. Brawns, rah, rah, rah. This is the Don Lebatar show with this Stugats.

I did not see it, so I don't know if anyone in our crew saw it, but I'm trying to imagine a more awkward and symbolic ending to the Dolphins preseason than just ending it eight minutes early, because Davis is on a stretcher hurt. And the coaches are like, okay, dangerous game. Let's save this kind of violence for the regular season. In the games that counts. In the division of Demar Hamlin, that's how the dolphin preseason ends with, like never mind, let's not play the last eight minutes, don't want someone else with prayer circles

and an ambulance and a stretcher and wondering about their extremities. And I am perpetually conflicted about being excited for football and knowing that that's always there somewhere, but kind of amazing, Stugats, that this dolphin preseason, because I can't remember a season this century that came with this kind of hope and enthusiasm where the dolphins are acting and and getting in the Jacobs talks and the Jonathan Taylor talks, we're a piece away. That's what they're saying in a divisions, do gods, that this is amazing to say as well. We argued for 10 years about

is Ryan Fitzpatrick the answer for the jets? Is he the answer for the bills? Is he the answer for the dolphins? Tom Brady owned the division so there would be no quarterbacks who would get in the game. But now the third best quarterback in the AFC East is? I mean to a I mean statistically last year he was Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes now you can doubt that but numerically when he was healthy He was historically elite as a quarterback and I want to go back on something as we talked About to I want to go back to something last week that I found fascinating because I believe That this is as angry as you will ever hear that this is as angry as you will ever hear to what in public. The remainder of his career. This is not something that he usually does.

Good timing, Chris Cody. That's not your fault. He is very careful. He is very polite. He is a, he is a sweet man and he was clearly wounded, insulted and hurt by Ryan Clark suggesting that he was out of shape. And it didn't sound right, honestly. It was like seeing a toddler with a machete.

It didn't sound right to hear Tua struggle with, he's been out of the league a long time and trying to insult Ryan Clark because it's not in his nature. I mean, he probably knows more about me than I know about myself. I mean, I don't know. I mean, Ryan's been out the league for some time. So I don't know.

It's a little weird when other people are talking about other people and they're not that person. So, I know it's just a little weird when other people are talking about other people and they're not that person. So, I know it's just a little weird. I come back, like my background is, like I come from a Samoan family, like respect is everything, but you know, does get to a point where, hey, you know, little easy on that, buddy, because, you know, we, I think we're pretty tough-minded people and if we need to get scrappy, we can get scrappy too, just saying. How hard did you work in the offseason?

I mean, I think we all worked hard throughout the offseason. And I'm not someone to talk about myself the entire time, but it takes a lot. You think I wanted to build all this muscle, like not, to some extent, like I wanted to be a little lighter. I know there's a mixture of things that people don't understand, that people don't know about, that are talked about, that go behind the scenes. So, you know, I'd appreciate if you kept my name out your mouth. That's what I would say. Where did that start? The keep my name out your mouth.

Where did, who started that? Will Smith did it to Chris Rock? What, I don't know when that started, but you're looking for a fight when you say that expression. You are, yeah. I mean, too, it was furious. That is, as angry as I think you will hear him his entire career, the dolphins need to get a better table.

It's less hollow for him to hit when he's hitting it. But what do you think's happening there, Stugatts? Because I want to examine this. I was happy to hear Ryan Clark apologize. I don't think media members do that nearly enough, but what are your thoughts on why he's that angry? Well, I think Ryan, first off, you're a former player attacking another player, saying he didn't do his job in the off season, which is to get in shape.

And two is upset by it because it feels like player on player crime. It does. It's, and it's Ryan Clark really, Dan, if you watched it, it's him trying to make a joke that falls flat. It just falls flat. And sometimes when you're trying to make a joke, you run the risk of crossing the line,

then the joke becomes mean. And I think in that instance, that's what happened with Ryan Clark and two of it did not take well to it. This is what I believe happened to what cares deeply and deeply generationally and culturally. What do you know about some Owens?

What do you know about some Owens and football? You know toughness, you also know, that's not the position they ever play. They play the positions usually that require extraordinary strength and toughness. Junior say, oh, before this guy, junior say, oh, was the representative for some Owen culture of what it was to be the best in that sport. Super tough and excellent.

Two is now at a skilled position. Okay. And he is carrying the pride of his people into that huddle with a new tattoo sleeve that tells you all about his heritage and you're questioning how much he cares that storyline do you know what he's risking you're going to question how much that dude cares when we know that just about more than anyone in the league, not named Hamlin, oh shit, that's dangerous for him and his future and his brain. You're questioning how much he cares and he's telling you, I didn't want to add 20 pounds

of muscle, but I need to stop being thrown like a rag doll, like I Matadler out there, so I have to get physically larger and so on a national platform Somebody questioning how much he cares brings out the fangs on a guy I didn't think would show them publicly because he doesn't want to bring distraction to his position and Somoan guys what he told you there culturally. We're about respect. You don't see the Samoan football players in these kinds of controversies going back and forth with people.

It's also someone that has been dealing with criticism for three years, like since he stepped in the league. And he hasn't said much of it. So there's kind of like this assumption like, ah, he must not hear it, but it seems like just because that didn't seem like one that would set him off. It was a joke. It was weird. The Ryan Clark compared him to a stripper in Atlanta. Like, it was an odd one to be the one to set him off, but it seems very much like this has just been building and he's just tired of hearing the criticism and he just doesn't

want to deal with it. But I think it's that criticism specifically. I don't think it's actually a petition criticism. It's not caring. Well, I think there's also this weird dynamic that exists where it seems like a lot of talking heads really like to go after Tuah and he has just remained silent, but they go after him in large part because the fan base is rallyed around him so hard. We know Tuah Nahn and the whole concept there. And it's like because fans go so hard in Twitter mentions on behalf of two while he's said nothing, he's become this sort of polarizing piece for sports media members

to want to go after in a way that's sort of strange because he hasn't said anything up until this point. I don't actually believe it's gurgling over on criticism, even though I would understand how you arrive at that conclusion. Oh, he's going to blow up at some point, Dan, and you don't want to see him when he's angry. You're saying that they are, that Ryan Clark is questioning the one thing you don't question about to a, it's, it's just some moment football players aren't really going to abide. You're tough enough, or you don't care enough about football. When if you know anything about what that sport means to the, it's so disproportionate, Stu Gatz,

it doesn't even make sense, honestly, that there would be so many Samoan players not at the skill positions, at the positions that require you to be tougher than other men. Like that, that there would be so many of them. It's disproportionate and this, this guy is carrying on behalf of his people who care about that sport. Man, I don't, I think I can get away with saying that Samoans care about football more than Americans do. I think I can get away with saying that. Hmm. I think Ryan Clark just wants him to care Samoa.

You gave him a applause on that Chris Cody. He got me. He said he's going to. You gave him a clap instead of hitting the he came next laugh. You gave a was it deserving? I mean you gave yeah it was. Well, I like I like you know you let the the he came next laugh comes a few. You don't give it right away. You like let it, like, what's he gonna do? What sounds he gonna hit? I was letting it breathe.

You don't clap first though, I mean. Would you want to see Ryan Clark and Tua actually fight? Because like in his apology, Ryan Clark is kind of like, yeah, if you want to fight, we'll fight. So would you want to see them actually fight each other? Yes. And like that's how this is resolved. 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, 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, box for charities. I was my call. I do think there is something to what Billy is saying where, you know, the criticism of two, he is the most polarizing quarterback in the NFL.

And he had a great season. Play 13 games was injured for four, but he had a great season last year in those 13 games. And people still question his toughness whether or not he's good, if he's great and all that. I do think you reach a point where it's like hey I'm a quarterback in the NFL and it damn good season last year. Stop talking about me. Keep your name out of my mouth Great role this weekend by the way name out of your mouth. You know what I mean. Did you see the role? Oh, he's fixed I did see a lot of dolphin fans celebrating and this is pathetic. This is the... The role? It's a game changer.

Celebrating that our quarterback can fall down and get up. Straight up in my lifetime, in Dolphin's history. It's a big history. I'm pretty sure one of the five most celebratory tones on the internet that I've seen is Dolphin's fans after this preseason game celebrating Tuwa being able to roll. Oh, did you see the side by side? Yeah? How do you compare to last year and you got a concussion and this is almost the same thought he rolled great? They're really super well. Uh-huh Rollin' right to the Super Bowl. They should put all the montage of him doing it to get your roll on

You get it like get your roll on the song. I love you. I called the internet Like get your roll on the song. I love you, Chris. I'll go down the internet. Thank you. You deserve that. No. You don't deserve that. You don't.

In fact, we need to take it right now. Everybody, get your rolls on. And then just rolling, like, that would be a funny song. The way I do it. We need to take away your ability to control the Hakeem Next laugh. You cannot be trusted with it. And you cannot give it to

yourself. Everybody gets your role on then another month. Yeah, Lucy gets. I liked it. You think that I'm not getting it is my is my problem. There's a song. It's next level, Dan. Don Leotard. For the range drops for lemon drops and gun drops. Oh what a rain that would be. Stugats standing outside with my mouth open wide. Ah, ah, ah, ah,. This is the Don Limita show with this two cats.

Chris Codid, can you please play for me, find for me in our library of sound, the former dolphins fullback, Reagan-Mawia, who once ran through a weight room wall, a very thin dry wall, but nonetheless, before being drafted by the dolphins, we got very excited about this when he ran straight through a dry wall and it sounded like this. Jeremy, would you do me the favor, please, of just looking up Reagan-Mawias career stats? Yes, I will. I want to know what kind of juggernaut he actually was.

I'm the juggernaut! Who wouldn't get excited about that though? Honestly. It doesn't have much of anything to do with being good at football, being able to run through some very thin wall. I ran through a wall, man. Football's all about. Yes, but wait till we get to the career stats of one Reagan

Moe. I don't know. Wow, Jimmy's laughing. Maybe laughing. So he played for Arizona and he played for the Dolphin. Who else did he play for? Reagan Moe had four attempts for five yards. I'm not telling you. He was there to gain yards. He also had 11 career targets, six receptions, 44 yards, two first downs. He did better in the arena league.

You had eight yards. He had four catches. I'm gonna say four carries for five yards for his career. Four carries for five yards long of three. Four first downs. Also a fumble. Six rounder though. I mean, any production out of the six round is good. 1.2 yards per carry. Juggernaut.. Wait for three teams. Woo! Ha, ha, ha. Stugots, I know you don't like to be informed. I know you don't like to learn. Yep. I know that you don't like statistics. It's not that he's not in for, he just doesn't like it. Yes, correct.

He doesn't enjoy being informed. I like it, I like it. I should, what I should say, that's not entirely true. That's not entirely fair to Stugots. Oh, mostly. He doesn't like doing the work necessary to be informed, but if I tell him something interesting about sports, he enjoys that information.

He just doesn't enjoy doing the work for it. So I imagine, and you do God Bless Football, the award-winning God Bless Football with Billy Gill. Yeah. The Nations? No, the globes. What is it? Fifth ranked football insider, according to the Guardian. He's up to four, David Samson at nine.

But the stats that I don't imagine that you would actually do this, but I think you would enjoy someone giving you an advanced stat of some sort that you would find intriguing. For example, Christian Wilkins of the Dolphins who was holding out right now is very important to the Dolphins defense. I did enjoy Fangio's quotes to Dave Hyde of the Sun Sentinel talking about what kind of music he liked and not surprisingly choosing music from the 60s and 70s and then offering a little extra bonus opinion of not that noise they play in the locker room now that's

not music that's just noise. Classic fangs. Yes, that is classic fangs. But Wilkins has the highest run stop win rate for a defensive lineman, not just dolphins, since 2019. He stops, you know, he wins his block on running plays more than 40% of the time. So if I say to you, Stugat, are you interested at someone who is not, that's better than Aaron Donald on the run. But are you interested in knowing as someone who doesn't like information, the highest pressure percentage last season among past rushers? Is that something that you're curious about?

I know. Yeah, yes, I am. Because Micah Parsons was number one, foreign away, by the way, Von Miller was number two. Trey Hendrickson of the Bengals was number one, foreign away, by the way. Von Miller was number two. Trey Hendrickson of the Bengals was number three. Nick Bosa was number four. And Justin Houston was number five.

I don't know where Miles Garrett is on that list. I think of Miles Garrett as one of those people. Those statistics that allow us to now know, right because the the criticism on Wilkins is that he Doesn't get enough sacks it's hard to get sacks from the defensive tackle position Aaron Donald is one of the few who actually Does it and it's harder than ever to get to the quarterback because they get rid of the football So quickly But I would imagine stugots that these are the kinds of measurements that you would like to have when analyzing your football

because we have more measurements than we've ever had for this sport. It used to be that you never knew whether your offensive guard played well or not. You had no way of knowing, really, unless you saw penalty flags or his guy was getting all the sack. And really, outside of sacks, you had no way of knowing if your defensive line unless unless you saw penalty flags or his guy was getting all the sack and really outside

his sacks you had no way of knowing if your defensive line or defensive tackles were playing well i mean you just did that was the only stat we use to measure that you know but sacks for christian wilkins because there is a big problem here with this holdout they need this football player he is very good and there seems to be quite the discrepancy in what it is he thinks he should be paid versus what they think he should be paid. What's it worth to be the best run stopper in the league by percentage since 2019 in a passing league. It's worth a lot and like anyone who watched the dolphins last year like he popped off

your television. Christian Wilkins for me and many of the dolphins games last year was like he popped off your television. Christian Wilkins, for me and many of the dolphins games last year, was the best defensive player on the field. Both sides, he was, I mean, he was making tackles, ten yards down field on guys running on wide receivers for crying out loud. It's why I don't want them to go after Jonathan Taylor because they have so many guys like him that they need to pay. They got to pay Javon Holland, Jalen Waddle. It's, I don't want them spending it running back because they got a lot of and he is and like you said, he's so much better than his numbers are even because he's just dominant and he's

just a great team guy. He's a guy that can be a dolphin his whole career. I'll tell you it does feel good to have a debate about oh, there's too much talent that we have to pay now because how many years has it been since the dolphins have had to worry about keeping a core intact. Billy, I was wondering because I'm assuming that the bills are the favorite in the division and you have been a bills critic and hater for a while. I don't know that that's fair. That's totally fair.

How so? You said Josh Allen sucks last year and you said that the bills were going to choke like they always do. And? Well, which is it? last year. And you said that the bills were going to choke like they always do. And well, which is it? Well, I don't know. What would you say? Well, are you the hater? Yeah. But how did things end for the end? You were right, but you're a hater. So, but you're not a, I'm not a hater. I accurately, you're claiming you didn't even say what would happen. He's an expert. Thank you. Yeah. Someone gets it around here. Plus 125 for the bills. I don't understand. If I just say they're not going to win the super

ball on a hater you said they suck in josh allen sucks that's what well i regrettably said that something about his face that i choose to forget is what i said that is what you also said you also said josh allen has a stupid face but that was taken out of context and that got away from me it really wasn't taken out of context you know billy i was up in the buffalo area for a week and I got to tell you, you walk into a Buffalo bar, okay? Bill's fans love to talk. They love to chatter. They love to speculate.

And so if you walk into a Bill's bar and, you know, put your ear to the wall, okay, and really pay attention in between eating Buffalo wings to what's going on. Why am I putting my ear to the wall? I feel like it's something you should do when you're trying to listen. When you're in buffalo, yeah. When you're in buffalo. That would make listening hard out of it. It probably would.

It shuts your ear down a little bit. Are you in a different room from the people eating chicken wings? Like, I think you've forgotten how to hear. Those buffalo bars have different rooms. They are weird. It's a weird room. You put your ear up to the glass. Sometimes, yeah. And what you'll hear, Dan, is Bill's fans talking. And this is what I heard. Okay. This is a scuttle butt around Buffalo Rochester, Syracuse, that entire

area. He was just there, Dan. I was. Yes. I was there reporting life for a for a metal arc media expense at that. Here is what I heard. Bill's fans are concerned that Josh Allen is too busy trying to find his that josh allen is too busy trying to find his significant other he is too busy trying to fall in love and not paying enough tension to the n-f-l and his job is quarterback it is a great take by bills fans i am lucky

that i was in that sports bar at that time with those four dope so we're talking about it but it's a great take the guy is too interested in falling in love and not interested enough in being a great quarterback. How about that? He just went through a breakup. I'm on Josh Allen relationship. TikTok.

He's dating Haley Steinfield. Right. I mean, take a break. Did you just say that he had to pay tension? Yeah, that was. They're not paying tension to him. Yeah. Why is there an ear to a wall?

It's buffalo. That's not an explanation. You put your finger up to the wind. You don't put your ear to the ground. And your nose to the grindstone. Right. I never put my ear up to the wall though. But why the ground?

I mean, why not the wall? When they say they say exactly just that or they get into more specifics They said they're concerned that Josh Allen is to like to interested and he's crushed over this breakup and to Interested in finding his significant other. Well, he's found one in a celebrity. He's now in a celebrity relationship I know, but I mean the place that I was headed with this build story before we put our ear to the wall in a Buffalo sports ball. Well, that's reporting, Dan. You came in here and you said to guys it doesn't like to work and then he came in with sources.

Yep. They're like, why is that guy up against the wall? Ha, ha, ha. The reason I went, the reason I went to you, Billy, on this is because, and unless this was a Photoshop to trick me, and it may have been, I think the Bill's indoor facility has a big mural that says Buffalo football with the Lamberti trophy, which they've never won. Correct. We asked Vaughn Miller about that last week.

He didn't like that question. But, so it's real. Oh, it's real, yeah, no, it's there. What? That's the goal, Dan. They have to focus on the goal. They want to win them one day. The only one not focusing is Josh Allen,

according to Bill's fans at a Buffalo Bor. It's like when you're running on the treadmill and you put the image that you want in front of you and you're running after it. That's kind of what they do with the Lombardi trophy, just like a big carrot in a Buffalo bar. It's like when you're running on the treadmill and you put the image that you want in front of you and you're running after it, that's kind of what they do with the Lombardi trophy, just like a big carrot in front of them. Have you guys ever bought, sure you have. So we'll just pretend that we haven't,

but we all have, because we're all out of shape. Ever buy like a motivation outfit. Like I'm gonna buy, I'm gonna go on vacation, I'm gonna look so good in this bathing suit and these swim trunks, and then it never fits, because I got a size it doesn't fit. That's what it is for them. They have the trophy there and it's some motivation.

That's what they wanna get to. I did that a couple, like a year ago, I bought this like outfit that I could never wear. It's such an asshole outfit. It's like a matching, it's like something I'd wear out to like a beach party. It's like a matching shirt. You said to yourself one day,

I'll fit into that shirt. Like it's got sequins, then the pants got the same sequence on it. I could never pull off this outfit. But it's just there in my closet. Just in case. Well, why, what a little tie. Why, but why did you decide to do that? Because I saw it on Instagram,

scrolling by, I'm like, I could do that. I need some style of it. I need some style of it. That's why I keep all my larges, or what. Now I just look at that thing in the closet. I go someday, someday you. Was it a size thing or a style thing? It's a little size right now, but, but both I could even if I could fit into it. I can't pull it off Like it's something Tony will wear

Don Lebertard sports stugatz This is the Don Lebertard show with a stugatz the Unlebuttar Show with its two cats. Presented by DraftKings Sportsbook, one of America's top-rated sports book apps, DraftKings is all kind of ways to get in on the action, including same-game parlay's props, live bedding, and so much more. Use code Dan when you sign up for the DraftKings Sportsbook app to check it out. Hi, this is Bob Barker. Come on down to the Dan Lebertard show. Everybody gets that line wrong.

One of you, and I'm what I first called, somebody said that the price was wrong. That's not where I did the line. Adam did the line. What I did, I said, you've had enough and he started to get up again. I went back and I kicked him a few times. And then I walked away, I started walking away. And I said now you have had enough and then I turned and said, the mile line was

actually, now you have had enough. Bob Barker with us on 790 again, he raises millions. No matter how they do the line, they always manage to get the chin. If I were to walk into the well to do Bob Barker's home and you needed to impress a stranger with something that was in that home, Bob Barker would point to what in his house. If you had to impress a stranger. I have a great rabbit. He's just like a dog.

He follows me around. He chooses up everything. Mr. Rabbit, work great buddies. Is he well trained? Or does the rabbit come around when you're eating? Does it go to the bathroom in the house? How does that work? I've never had...

He has a box. He goes to his box. He's a perfect gentleman. My housekeeper found Mr. Rabbit in a yard when he was just a baby and brought him home and I kept him and I went to a rescue group and got a female rabbit and named her Honey Bunnies. So I had Mr. Rabbit and he's honey bunny. Unfortunately, honey bunny died and Mr. Rabbit's alone.

I tried two other females, but he didn't like that. He wanted his honey bunny or nobody. So now he's alone and he's my buddy. It's a good run, man. 99 years old. If I say to Gold Silver silver and bronze medalist of Game show hosts. It's Trebek it's Bob Barker. It's Say Jack who else goes in there. Howie Schwab is that the strangest tribute to someone ever?

It was it was super unusual. Yeah, we should have pressed them on it more I mean only joy to honey bunny so yeah, so I had mr. Rabbit and he's honey bunny Who else is there a fourth is there a fourth game show host that we are finding that would crack the Trebek say Jack Bob Barker holy Trinity Richard Dawson. Oh, that is a good one. Wake Martin Dale. Wayne Wade. Wink Martin Dale. I heard a whole lot of people saying wink Martin Dale is going to eat now that he's got Isaiah Simmons that there's there's a there's a wink in there. There's a there's a wink. Yes, there's a wink Martin Dale, who's a defensive coordinator. Yeah. Who's the current like host that will be the next generation of the Bob Barker? Like

who's the guy now that we will celebrate some day? I can't think like it isn't see crest the one getting all the gigs. It be he has every job He's more of a host not a game show. He will have a game show like in five years that will become that for sure What about Steve Harvey? Well, he's he well well, well, see Cress is getting real a fortune So he has it. Well, there you go. That is correct Steve Harvey has entered the conversation. I don't know that he has quite yet. Oh, no, he's good.

Yeah, we do love him. I'm not saying he's not good. I enjoy... I will stop. That is something... That is one of the few things on network television that I will stop every... Almost every time on because he is excellent. I'm not disputing that he's excellent. I just don't think that he... he's got the kind of longevity to enter the conversation that we're presently having right now about people who did it for 40 and 50 years. And I don't even know if you can be one of the greatest

game show hosts ever. If you're not the hit the best in the history of your own show. Right. He's creeping up on it though. Yeah, but he'll never be better than Richard Dawson. That's Dan's point. I'm not sure that's true actually. Richard Dawson was lecturous. That's a different time man. Yeah. He was kissing everybody on the lips.

Yeah. I feel like we're having a conversation about like, show heo, tawny, verse, babe, Ruth, where it's like, we're talking about different eras here. This is not necessarily the same level of television. Also, longevity's not gonna be the same part of it because people now, not same careers. Everybody jumps around.

Wait till this strike keeps going with the writers and the actors, all that's gonna be on your television is game shows. Is cheap ass game shows. I'm good with that. Same. Who do you wanna see host a game show that hasn't yet? Like, who out there exists? they off the top of your head,

you're like, oh, this is the guy or gal that I want to see host a game show. What are you asking us? What do you think? Is that a bad question? Yeah, I mean, to see some talent. You're saying all about, you want us to be scouts. You believe that we think there's a prospect out there

that needs some grooming, needs some seasoning, needs a little bit of fertilizer, and that there are people out there saying, you know what, he might not be here, she might not be ready now, but someday I believe that that person will be excellent. Yeah, you got to Dan. I got one. Kyle Brandt, NFL style game show. Very good. I have a question for you guys. So it's like a reality competition count as a game show. So like if you host a cooking show, is that a game show? Like will our net host a show about Legos? Is that a game show?

Are cooking shows game shows, I guess if they're competitions, right? But I don't think it's a game show. It's more skill based, where I feel like game shows aren't skill based. It's more like luck based. It's more like trivia based. Press your luck. Yes. What would be the genre of a cooking show?

Is it just reality television? If it's a competition, that's that. Reality competition? Is that what it is? That it's own genre? Yeah, there's different genres of reality television. It would be like a sub-genre of reality. Competition-based.

Yeah, cooking. I don't think cooking shows are game shows. Put it on the pole, please. I'm not sure. At Levitade Show, think cooking shows are game shows put it on the pole. Please do not at levitar show are cooking shows Considered game show. What about singing competitions are those game shows? No, we're just asking for the Competition's Billy. Well the question is just to know if the host of one of these shows Then could be on our list of up-and-coming game show hosts You know what I mean? And it brings us back to Seacrest because he was originally American Idol.

Like Nick Cannon doesn't host a game show yet, does he buddy host all these other reality-based competition shows? Nick Cannon is my nomination. Guy Fieri? Yeah. Yeah? I feel like we're on the back nine, a guy.

Greg Cody? Not that he's dying, but. Greg Cody would be a great game show. No, he wouldn't. Oh, yes, he would. No, he would not. He would be truly He is so wrong. It would be Bible bonkers if Greg Cody was hosting well. He is hosting our sui's so I guess the Sui's begin today. Do they not they do very excited about that what are the categories today? Did I do that on air? Sorry?

Uncomfortable moment and dismissal. And my dad's very excited about it. He even has his musical number ready for us right now. And now it's time for the Suis. The Suis. Enough to make you go, Ui. It's a Waltz through the progress past year. Full of Mary, Ment, and Good cheer. With the categories we hope you'll be smitten.

They're fun like clicking columns, Greg, Cody's written because it's the sui's, sui's enough to make you go oooey guys good I'm really worried about our futures, I show why? we even had the musical accompaniment that is not good I'm really worried about our futures our show. Why? We even had the musical accompaniment. That is not good.

Mr. Reibens, we're great buddies. That's how we decided to remember Bob Barker, a legend. That's all we got. It's not all we got. It's not all we got. We had a library of things to go to and that's what we chose. We had a number of people throughout the Cosmos that we could have gotten to host the Suis. We got Greg Cody singing terrible songs

Joe Pampliano's to gods is reporting That Lee and L. Messy. This is what he is meant to Inner Miami in terms of revenue. They have not lost yet. It is ridiculous. I'd love to talk to somebody about what this is the equivalent of. Is this the equivalent of LeBron going to play in the, you know, Taiwan easily, or the G league? Like what is the equivalent?

You're not supposed to. Or Cleveland. Goals. Goals are hard to come by. You're not supposed to leave one goal goals are hard to come by you're not supposed to score them in every game but he has been worth to enter Miami an annual revenue now of two hundred million dollars which is four times what they made last year it would be a record in in the MLS obviously but it's like what Newcastle makes. He has immediately turned inner Miami into a giant business and it makes me wonder, Stugots, if all of our very best athletes, maybe outside of baseball, are underpaid when they can be

worth that much. Certainly in the salary cap sports, if you don't create a bidding war for Patrick Mahomes you're getting him cheap and basketball all of these guys even the three hundred million dollar super max guys you only have a couple of stars all of them are underpaid or if they're not if you put you on us in a free market let teams just offer them as much as they want yeah he would he's underpaid there's no question he's underpaid maybe baseball players aren't but they have been until now until the Daunting of the $200 million contract. But I have a serious question. I'm not doing the soccer thing here

It's a serious question as it relates to messy because this never happens in soccer where you have a guy scoring basically A goal plus per game, right? Like, is he playing inferior talent? Like, is this the equivalent of Patrick Maholmes playing in the XFL? Good, Dan, I feel like it is. I, like you never see soccer players do this. You never see them score at this kind of rate, at this kind of clip, and messy,

it's been impressive, but I do wonder if he's playing against inferior talent. You don't have to wonder it. He is. Like that goes without selling. So how impressive, you know, how impressive is it then? When you consider that, when you factor that into the equations. To God, it's, I'm not as impressed by the goal scoring as I am the phenomenon that he has made this club.

You've got famous people. The way the tickets are selling when he goes on the road, you have dropped a dollop of a guy who should be past his prime. This, he was at the height of his leverage, best player in the world, coming off of a world cup, nothing left to accomplish. And it does feel like if Chris Cody right now

just wandered over to a T-Ball field. And started- Our Little League World Series started. It started to find me. It feels too easy. It does. When you were gone, Chris said that that was one of his dreams was to get two at bats in a Little League World Series game.

Now, today. One I might strike out. I just need two. I mean, that's the second chance. He's not getting me twice. So you want two at bats and you imagine what it would be and what it would be is you just poke a dribbler in the right Yeah, in my mind it's that game winning home run that we heard earlier a hard hit ground ball between the shortstop and the third Baseman just like hit the third baseman shin with the ball and I feel bad about being out there

Brode the second out the bad throw. How pathetic would you feel about your wish when you've wished for this is a lifelong dream and you get a walk and a hit by pitch? Then I would have peaked. On base percentage though, I mean. It would be though, the thing is that no matter what the competition is, anybody listening to this, Anybody who cares about sports. It would be the greatest thing to just be messy right now, playing against people you know are not as good as you are.

He's easy. But it's how he's been his entire life. Like his entire soccer life. What is he on? Those seven of those on the best player in the world trophy. But I feel like he goes home after the game and he tells people that he loves. Hey, these guys suck.

Okay. He's like playing softball and playing at high school.
