You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levert Marlins. He host a podcast, nothing personal. You can check it out every day wherever you get your podcast on the Dramp King's network as well. Good morning to you, David. Good morning, Stu. Good to see you in that chair. Well, thank you, David. It's good to see you in a weird room with where are you? I am in Stanford, Connecticut doing pre and post game work for CBS sports for the playoffs. Okay. So I am doing late nights and early mornings and loving it. Is anything going to stop the Phillies? First off, I want to blast to Philly fans because David, I am tired of everyone

making a big deal about Philly fans. Do me a favor. Every stadium, when your team makes it to a championship round, okay? Every stadium is standing, every stadium is loud. Filly fans, give me a break. You want to see the Filly fans? Go to a game on a Wednesday afternoon and get some Milwaukee Brewers and tell me how loud they are. I'm tired of it, David. I have a stat of the day on the Phillies

if you would like it right off the top. Oh, stat of the day, stat of the day. And this is a stat of the day, start of the day, and this is start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, and this is start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, and this is start of the day. Start of the day, start of the day, too many. This is start of the day. Today's the day is brought to you by Venmo your money your moves up with his two home runs

yesterday, Kyle Schwarber now has 18 career postseason home runs tying him with Reggie Jackson for the most ever by a last October. My goodness. Schwarbs. How about this? That's a great stat. How about a second stat about Kyle Schwarbs. How about this? That's a great stat. How about a second stat about Kyle Schwarber? He now has the most home runs for any lead off position player in postseason history.

He passed Derek Jeter and Jimmy Rollins. Is that crazy? It is Kyle Schwarber a lead off. Well, yeah, he shouldn't be a lead off. Well, he's good at today's baseball. He should, right? It be a leave off it. Well, he should in today's baseball, he should, right? It's not about average anymore. It's not even about getting on base.

It's just about the ability to get into one. And that's what Schwarberg does. The Phillies are just unstoppable. And the thing about the Phillies right now is it's their pitching as much as it is their hitting. They're bullpen and their starters are just superb. You can't score against them, then you can't stop their offense. And as for Fili fans, I can't stand them. I'm sorry, I run a national show. I shouldn't

say it. But as a guy who was in the NL East for 18 years, it is absolutely ridiculous. What Merrill Carelley did, he shouldn't have done. Don't poke the bear by saying it's louder at Marlon's Park. I get that. But let me tell you, in Philly, there were years when they were not in the playoffs, and it's quiet, and they're grumpy, and they're rude, and it's empty, and now all of a sudden, it's a bunch of front runners who are going crazy and cheering. They're not even in the top five fan bases in all of baseball. Wow. Oh, I mean, well, they are right now. Isn't that all that matters? If you're talking right now, there's only fired up, David. I kind of like it.

If you're talking now, though, they're the best fan base in any sport. I mean, why are you criticizing a fan base? No, I'm not criticizing the fan. Well, actually, allow me to criticize the Philadelphia families. They're not very nice. Yeah. I don't mean all of them, but I mean a lot of them.

Our players would come into the clubhouse and they would tell me things that were being said to them when they were out in left field that would sometimes remind them of being out at Fenway Park in left field. And you know what I'm talking about? They can be very difficult in Philadelphia. Now, they do have the best cheese steak in the clubhouse.

It's one of my favorite visiting clubhouses all time. But in terms of the fan base, I was attacked in elevators several times by people going up to, yes. What do you mean? It's one of my physically or verbally in front of your trials? No. Never, never physically, never physically. What they tell you, basically, too, I would never wear my badge in Philadelphia in other places I would because you're supposed to, but I wouldn't want anyone to know who I was. And I'm an elevator and I'm with my son. And it was also with the traveling secretary. His name is Mani.

And I was basically told that I am the world's worst human and the worst ineffective president to my team stings and the Marlin stink and the worst ineffective president to my team stings and the Marlin stink and how dare you what kind of person are you. In my response in front of my son I didn't know exactly what to do. I just said, hi, nice to meet you. And that was the best I could think of to do. And it was just, it was out, it was silly. Most people want to picture an autograph or they're not willing to do anything but be cyber

bullies, but in Philadelphia, they're willing to be bully bullies. Huh. Can you put together a top five fan bases, a major league baseball off the top of your head or G easily, you can do it right now. Easily. Okay. Go ahead. I want to hear. I guess we'll start at the bottom. Okay. Number five. Yep. Milwaukee Brewer's. Okay. Outstanding, no matter what, thicker than it's Milwaukee. Okay. Number four. Chicago Cubs.

Nice. A wonderful fan base. Smettiest thing. You have to love them. They're so good. Yeah. Even when they're bad, they're good. They're better when they're bad.

That's the beautiful thing about the Cubs fan base. No, true. The pictures when they're bad are still a great time. They like to be the story when they're bad and they are. Yes. I worried about them once they won the World Series because there's something about never having wanted for that hundred years that I worried

after they won it in 16 would all of a sudden it not be cool to be it wriggly, but it still is amazingly cool, and the fan base is still amazing. And the fan base was able to make itself miserable again by convincing themselves that they should have won more than one World Series in that run, which isn't necessarily untrue, but now they're back to feeling like,

in a lot of ways, like, oh, back to being the Cubs again. So the identity hasn't changed too much despite the curse. It's only been seven years and people are ready to spawn. And say, they don't win enough. The end of this season, I think, did a lot for Cubs fans, but there were a couple of years after they traded the core two years ago, David. I think everyone was a pretty, pretty sour move in Chicago. We should rather have to.

Being a fan is not rational, David. I'm not justifying this behavior, but I am saying that like Cubs fans, it's like, yeah, we won the World Series, but now we can go back to being like, oh, man, we can't catch a break. I thought Bartman ruined it for Cubs fans. No, I just want to say Bartman. People don't really know who Bartman is anymore. It's the 20 year anniversary of Bartman.

It just happened a couple days ago. And I was wondering what became of him and whether or not he has like a voodoo doll of Alex Gonzalez. I mean, the Cubs shortstop, because that it was really his fault and not Bartman's fault. But you're saying young people have no idea who Bartman is. I would think that's correct. Okay. It's fair. I blame Moise Salu.

Really? Overreacting drama queen. Wow. Trauma queen. Over'll do. Really? Overreacting drama queen. Wow, drama queen. Get overreact. He told me directly, he couldn't have caught the ball, but then in the media, he likes to say, oh no, I would have had it.

He knows he wouldn't have had that. It's ridiculous. All right, number three. The number three fan base, and I'm holding my nose, but it is true. It's the Yankees. Okay. And the reason why the Yankees are number three is the outrageous prices that are paid

at all levels of seats for the fact that they're supposed to win the World Series every year and they have since 2009. Right. And yet, they still draw. They only make it up a little bit. They're still drawing in the 30s and 40s. That's a damn good fan base. I like that.

What could you do it again though while holding your nose? Like, is that possible? Do you mind doing it? I want to hear what it sounds like. Okay. Number three. But who are you, orki Yankees? I'm like you.

I grant you that it's Yankee Stadium. And I grant you that it's fun to be a Yankee fan because you've one more than you've lost. Right. You are a good fan base because the team hasn't done much winning and you're still coming to games. That's fair. Number two. This one, you will not guess it even if you begged me.

The second best fan base, Los Angeles Dodgers. Really? Yep. So they've got the worst reputation. They come late and they fight. There's bad, it's bad in the parking lot. But guess what? The Dodgers over the years, since they moved from Brooklyn,

they have the most loyal dedicated fanbase second in all of baseball, in my opinion. They come to games always by the scores of thousands, and they've had a team with smart leadership that's done more than a share of winning. And I respect it. I love people who leave early when the team isn't winning. I love people who come late because they're in LA doing cooler stuff. I'm good with it. They're the number two. It honestly sounds, David, like you're describing

the Miami Heat Fan base in the NBA, like a truly, truly, truly passionate fan base, but the reputation doesn't necessarily reflect it because Miami and all of these other things. It always bothered me that people viewed the heat fans as not good. And I was in Miami for so many years. And yeah, after how we've ever looked at a heat game, like with 10 minutes left in the third quarter, it looks like there's nobody there because they're all doing their halftime stuff. Yep.

I'm good with it. You want to define what that stuff is? If you've been in the bunker, sweets, you know exactly what that stuff is? Uh, if you've been in the bunker, sweet to know exactly what that stuff is. It's cocaine! Number one! Marlins. The greatest fan base in all of baseball, and it's not even close,

the St. Louis Cardinals. Uh, universal agreement. Universal agreement in here, just yep. Really? That fits. I don't know how I feel about the Cardinal fan base. I've been to a game there like years ago

and they're really nice. It's just, just like the standpoint, I feel like they're looking down at us. Like they feel like they know more about baseball than we do. Because they do. Oh, please. There's like a whole best fans in baseball, like me, Macount, making fun of Cardinal's fans

for being actually the worst fans of baseball. Oh, David is shocked. You mean the least knowledgeable or the least loyal like these least knowledgeable, like the meanest. Yeah, you say Lewis. Yes, see Lewis. No, I've been to a lot of games at Bush and I have never had an issue. Our players have never had an issue. And I don't view people in St. Louis's mean at all.

That is surprising to hear. I don't see fights in the stands. We don't worry. You okay there? Sorry, he gets emotional. That's right. Yeah. That's right. You love St. Louis. Yeah. That's a fine. Wait, you have a bad memory from St. Louis, who's mean? She's so mean. Really, memory.

And why is she your best friend? Yeah. She's my best friend. Yeah. Yeah. Is she mean to you or mean to others? Everyone. Oh, okay. Love her though. Yeah. I get it. But she's mean to you. Yeah. I think you can love someone who's mean, but you try to make her less mean. Sometimes, it doesn't work. Huh. This is an Emily, is it? No. No. You can't love Elise. You're not allowed to. No.

Do you think you're going to change her? I don't want to. Okay. My best friend. I like that, I guess. There's a reason. Does she have redeeming qualities? Of course.

Okay. So you just put up with the mean. Do she think you're mean? Yes. Okay. Well, so you're the mean girls. Wow. Well, if you're mean and she's mean, and you both know that each other is mean, doesn't

that exactly define what Mean Girls means? Do you have a burn book? I was kind of doing a thing here and there's been a lot of follow-up. Yeah, it's like really, really. We're just curious. We're pretty hard for the course when David's on, I think. And now I'm like, I don't even know if I should answer truthfully or not. I don't even know if I should answer truthfully or not.

A very weird observation by Stugat. You should try it. Don't knock it until you try it, Dan O. Stugat. weird observation by Stugat. You should try it. Don't knock it until you try it. They know. Stugat. You know what Stugat? I reconsider my position. I have not tried it. And so I won't knock it. Please explain to us in as much elaboration as you can. Why it's so wonderful to ride on a roller coaster with no underwear? Well, you just get that incredible breeze that you can only get when you're high up on a roller coaster And it's about to go down and when it goes down. Oh, does it feel good? It's like air conditioning inside your shorts. It's amazing. It really is.

This is the Dalébatá show with the Stugats. David, because he's playing so well in this post season, it has Bryce Harbor become the face of baseball. I don't think there is a face of baseball. So everyone tries. It's supposed to be tried. He didn't want it. And then it can be O'Tani. He's got those new balanced commercials that if you're watching, they're on every, every

commercial break. It seems. So that would be a good opportunity. But no, they tried with jazz, but in order to be the face of baseball, you have to be better and you have to be in the post season, which the Marlins were able to accomplish this year. So he's in position next year. If he does better and the Marlins continue to improve, he could be the face. He's a great representation of what baseball wants to be, young, hip and cool.

Bryce Harper is, he likes commercials. He likes winning he is turned into a leader there's no question about it but i believe he's too old to be the face they want somebody with a two handle not a three-handle well i mean wouldn't the face of baseball kind of just present themselves like if it's baseball deciding who it is they're never gonna catch on right like you can't make fetch happened

you can't make viral happen but you can't make viral happen, but you certainly do. You think jazz was put on the cover of MLB The Show just by happenstance because he was free on Wednesday at 2 o'clock to do the photo shoot. It was a purposeful choice by baseball. That was weird, I think, how baseball fans, not like there was a kind of like a pocket of baseball fans that rejected jazz as being the cover of the show because they decided he wasn't good enough. And really they just wanted their player to be on the show. And I thought that was strange.

I think that what they were concerned about is that he was being anointed as this leader and he had not yet shown that he can either a stay on the field or be performed on the field in a way that would merit being in a commercial with jeeter and on the cover of the show. And the thought was, is it too much too soon? And it's going to actually impact whether he's going to be good, which is something you have to talk about with jazz. You got to do it on the field if you're going to maintain sort of his persona.

Otherwise, it just gets old. But Peyton Hillis was once the cover of Madden. So he was. Yeah. I want to make the argument for Mike Trout, not only obviously Hillis was once the cover of Madden. So I want to make the argument for Mike Trout, not only obviously a top player in the league, but he also looks the most like a baseball. Like look at his like think of my trout face. If you had to pick a baseball very round, like a baseball, it's Mike Trout. That is the face of base face of basketball?

Who's orange? Trump? Seems like a dangerous game. That's the way to be Donald Trump. Face of that one person. You imagine if they anointed Donald Trump, the face of the NBA, because the only criteria is you had to match the color of the ball. Right.

He would love that. I was trying to do the opposite, actually. Yes. Trevor May, David, I found this to be fascinating. The former A's manager ripped the A's, ripped everyone. Is he going to get a job again? It made you really baseball. So he was in the bullpen. If you're a metz fan you you're familiar with him he's

sort of mediocre but he had a career and he went scorched earth i'm nothing personal this morning i just played some of the tape i don't know if you have the tape he went a little nutty on john fischer talking about the fact that he's a nepot baby and he would have fit in great with this group and how he did nothing he's done nothing he doesn't even have the guts to be front facing and tell us what he wants to do. And my reaction was, I get what May is saying,

but you really don't want to do that if you have any interest in being involved in baseball. Because he went after owners. His only possible job now is with the players union. Or he can do an independent podcast, but he doesn't have the credibility to be a podcaster because he didn't do enough research before going on this rant. And the fact about what John Fisher does, and I'm against the A's moving, I'm not even sure they're going to move, but I'm not against owners who don't talk to the media because

very few of them do and that's what Trevor May Was complaining about saying what a wussy that he won't own what he's doing and I did disagree with that Stugats was real close Trevor may not the manager of the A's Really glad I said you'll pen I but Jeremy I try thank you for the correction David I know you really tried to kind of help to contextualize that there, but it's not hard enough Just right back in my face next Thank you for the correction, David. I know you really tried to kind of help to contextualize that there, but it's not hard enough. Just throw it right back in my face, next time, David, what are you doing? Well, no, you're in the number one chair right now.

I want to make you look good. Right. I don't want to point out when you're making mistakes because you're not prepared. I don't care about looking good. I made a mistake. Make fun of me. No, you do it around it. Yeah.

Do is just really trying to see if David was prepared. Exactly. Makehouse Jerry's on his toes, right? There's one thing I've learned from you, Stu, and that is always to be prepared no matter how little you prepare. Do you have an update for the Marlins on us? What has happened since the last time we spoke early this week? So there's just been a little bit of news as in their GM is gone and they are in the market for a president of baseball operations and I have gotten a bit of attention and I wanted to talk to you all about this.

People are a little upset that I was willing to say that it's possible that the Marlins could be better off without Kim and that they need a true president of baseball operations, whether it's a male, female or whoever it is, but that is not Kim's strength. And that the problem is when you brought her in, it was Derek Gita running the show, and not Kim. And people in the industry just know that. And people are telling me, well, just keep that to yourself. Don't let people know what the truth is about that.

And I say, screw that. I want you to know what the truth is. The Marlins made the right move. If you're a Marlins made the right move. If you're a Marlins fan and you want to win and continue winning, you need someone running the baseball side that's not jeer and it was never going to be Kim. What can it be true that she may have not been prepared at the time, but she'd done enough to earn a chance and opportunity to have that role?

Except you have to ask yourself what it is that she actually did. And this is not sullying Kim. I think it's outstanding. I think anybody should have that job who can do that job who is the ability and gets a chance to do it and then does it. But it is a job that requires you have to have great management skills and you are running a big business. The baseball side of an organization is the biggest business part of the baseball team, the most budget. And then on top of that, you have to know who to listen to and who not to. It's not that President of baseball ops are big evaluators themselves.

It's that they know who is evaluating and who you listen to and who you don't. And I think what Bruce Sherman is trying to do is find someone who has done it. So I don't think you're gonna see a first time present-of-base operations. I don't think you're gonna see an internal promotion. I think you're gonna see him bring someone in who is the anti-jeater,

someone who can actually do the job and help the Marlins be where Bruce wants them to be, which is a a consistent winner. Have you submitted your resume? No, that's another misconception. I was never the president of baseball operations. I was the president of the team, so the baseball department reported to me, no, I'm not qualified to be the president of baseball operations only the president. If left to you, who would you hire? I would bring back my kill. Really? Why? My kill was let go by Jeter with Bruce Sherman having no knowledge of that.

My kill is tremendous at surrounding himself with people who know what they're doing and knowing who to listen to and who not to listen to. My kill did not have the opportunity under Jeter that he should have only because Jeter was making all the decisions, running that team from the baseball side and i think that my kill has no ramp up time he's familiar with the organization

uh... the question is he's doing so well it may truly baseball does he want to get back into the game in that way but i think if he does have the opportunity well did he not have an opportunity under jeffrey also so yes he was the pre was our president based operations and Jeffrey was involved in a way that many owners are involved. And there was some things going on in our organization where the power was not necessarily

with Mike. David, what movie we have about four minutes here. So hopefully I've left you enough time to review a movie for us. What movie are you reviewing? I hope someone there in that room. Have you watched the Beckham documentary? I have not. My wife has.

She loves it. So I didn't realize any of this. So there's a new documentary in four parts, and I knew that he was married to Victoria, posh spice or something. I didn't realize or remember what had happened in with the red card in the World Cup. I didn't realize and remember that he had been vilified by fans in London. I had not remembered that he had gone to Real Madrid. All of that was news to me. I learned so much about Beckham. The only thing that bothered me about this documentary is as a

person who loves Miami so much. It was like two minutes of the entire documentary was his Miami part, and it really pissed me off because it didn't even go into the great business deal he made to get the $25 million option to have the expansion team. It didn't go into the struggle to get the team into Miami. It didn't go into how they got messy. All the things that I thought they could have done,

they didn't, and that's the only negative of the documentary. Did you learn anything about him that you didn't know before you started watching the movie? Everything. Really? I had no idea how mean his father was. Hmm. I didn't realize what it was like with him and Posh or Victoria, how he would leave the team and drive the hours to spend five minutes with her.

Did he come off as likable to you? Did you, do you like him? Very. And I had never, I dealt with him when we were trying to build a soccer stadium next to Marlon's Park. And we were trying to get Miami to do that. Enter Miami at the time, or it wasn't even into Miami. We were trying to do a deal with MLS.

And we wanted Beckham as part of the deal to be not just involved in what was on the pitch, but involved in the community and marketing. And his interest was only in the colors of the franchise and the clubhouse and the type of pitch it was and the players on the pitch. He wouldn't do any of the other things that we wanted so a deal never happened.

So my experience with him was not necessarily positive. And after this documentary, I said, wow, I wish I'd been able to spend a little more time with him because I didn't realize his past and the way his father drove him and how difficult it was for him to deal with all of the fame and the attention and how he was able to overcome all of it. So this documentary really did change my view. David, Shane Beamer just broke his foot after losing, blowing a 10 point lead against Florida. Do you ever have, do you have an example of a player after a game or a coach getting mad and injuring themself after a game?

You only want to think of as our close or AJ Ramos who broke his hand by hitting the top of the dugout. And that's the only fight he and I ever had. And we're still in touch to this day. It is the only fight we ever had is when he did that. Players who get hurt during celebrations we had we had our rookie of the year get hurt. I can't remember his name. Chris Cogland.

Cogland. Got hurt in his celebration. I had I had bad words with Juan Pierre who I love JP and again still in touch with him because he did that thing where he and D he would dunk and get involved in post game. De Gordon used to do that and I would be annoyed. These players, I love that they want to celebrate, but I can't stand injuries because your pain players, not to play in that case. All right. Nothing personal. Check it out every day wherever you get your podcast. Of

course here on the day, Levitard show network and the draft Kings network. David, we appreciate it two times this week, man. Thank you. We appreciate your time, buddy. Have a great day. Okay, see you, Dave. Feel better. Stop coughing. Don Lebertard.

Risk reward of going into the woods by yourself. You die or you see some trees. I'm not gonna die to go see some trees. Still gots. Listen to me. You've seen one tree, you've seen them all, okay? There's no special tree down there. Not true with some trees. That is how that's how I feel. I feel like it true. me. You've seen one tree. You've seen them all. Okay, there's no special T-towards

That is not true. I like it true. I'm a good boy on the tree. That is not true. No way. Let me break this. This is nonsense. This is the Don't Liberty show with this two gods. In this time for his two gods to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy's two weekend observations on a Wednesday.

I don't learn my lesson. It seems so. DIN! Still stuck. We haven't seen him on the field in over a year. But he's always somewhere, and he's always an injury away. Yesterday or Sunday, it happened. Jimmy G did what Jimmy G does.

He got injured and Dan, just like that, make no mistake about it. Brian Hoyer is back. You know what's him? No, he's not. He is, he's starting, what do you mean? Where? Las Vegas.

Jimmy G got hurt. You're not listening. I, you know, I don't know why I was thinking Jimmy Graham. What? I don't know. He's a tight end. I know, I don't know why.

He's with the saints right now. He does? Yeah. Get out of here. Yeah, he had like a, there's a mental health issue in the office. Not a great start playing the Dan character, but you'll get there. No, but he brought a mental health. So that

helps. Dan, you know what the T and Tess Walker stands for? It stands for the U is not back. You can't smell frauds without the U. I would argue that I'm sitting in two guts this seat and I did a great job there. You did. Michael Pennich Jr. Congratulations on winning the Heisman. Walking into Dick's boarding goods, dangerous game.

Brian Hoyer lives one injury away. Death, taxes. And can you win a Super Bowl with Dak Prescott? I love a good Dicks. It's a dangerous game though. Spend a ton of money in that place. I wanna buy every hydro flask in the little entry way.

Right. I end up buying Big League Choo every time I'm there. Right. And I don't ever actually use it. At the counter. Yeah, at the counter. They get you on the way out. It's a great game.

It's a great game. Yeah. Sunflower seeds. Oddly though, right? Like you're thinking you're walking into a sporting good store, there's not going to be candy to make it fatter. You probably spend two hours in that golf section. I do. Hmm.

Try not the clubs. Little putting green. Yeah. I hate when there's a kid in there. Hey, this is for business here.

I you so you play the kids like hey, this is for serious business I'm like you don't know I'm not a left. I'm just start calling you lefty Chris is play the full-round it dicks. That's where I bought my golf clubs You never use them I use them a couple times You use them as a prop I know we have like a big golfer on the show on the shows that we do separate from this one You put the golf clubs in the back so they could see it and so they think you're some sort of golfer falsehoods

What do you mean? I have golf clubs and I don't have room for them So I have them stored in the background next to the couch because I don't have a place for them Not to impress golfers when I care you know You're right. I'm sorry max home. I need them to be my friend. What do I care? But you put them there when home is on every time. They don't move. I don't put them there. It's not like I set up Like continue what I'm doing. Okay. If you ever find yourself wondering where Brian Hoyer is look for Josh McDaniels. Hoyer won't be far behind Dan you know what the D at Dak stands for death

Taxes and get Dak Prescott when the Super Bowl. I'd said something was off in Athens. They've won 24 consecutive games. Kyle McCord, do it against Michigan. The C in Colorado stands for Choked. The L in Lucy Rodin stands for Left Early. I'm proud of you. Thank you. Don't apologize to anyone for that. I'm just somewhere on the same page before the NBA season starts. If Chris Paul wins a championship

with a golden state warriors, it will not count as a championship in my personal record book Speaking of my personal record book I have reached a deal with a major publishing company I'm right in a book did you get an advance? I did what you need to deliver though a book. Yeah, it's not just they give you an advance and that's that I'm getting to it When is this coming out? I don't know yet. Have you written anything? Couple chapters. I might change the title to I wrote a book before Dan did Alabama, surviving advance in honor of Billy Gil,

being a jury duty this week. Top five people in sports. Who can know the courtroom? Ooh, this is good. Number five, Johnny Bench. Number four, lawyer Maloy. Greatness so far. Thank you.

Number three, David Justice. Number two, David Justice Number two Aaron judge There's better than that impossible there is and I think he's gonna miss it What's your guess? No, I'm not telling you no, no, no, not Taylor It's not Tyler. Who It was number one. D a points That's pretty good. Ben Jarvis Greenell is the law firm. Oh, man, man guys. It was right there Oh damn yeah, two patriots. I had Courtney Vanderslute. Oh, that's pretty good

D a points though as good. Let's go. Do you know who DA points is? Does anyone know who DA points is? It's a golfer. Uh, next time he's on stupada, I'll put my golf clubs behind me. Here come the maple leaves. You know, hockey started. It's the shortest offseason ever. I know. Chris Fowler talking about Michael Panic's junior said lefty quarterbacks just look better. He must have never seen Pat

White. 15 to 6 is so Iowa, Iowa Wisconsin. Sorry about that. granola bar. It happens. They choke a lot too. Thank you. Brock Purti. Blah blah blah. You know what the B and Brock Purdy stands for Billy? Blah blah. Blah blah. Devante Smith. Stop crying. You know what the S and Smith stands for Billy? Stop crying. Very good. You're on your game. Tess Walker, Sundays, collision course. Eight days ago, I had no idea who Tess Walker was. Washington didn't win. Dan Laning, lost.

Michigan, I have an idea. Play somebody. Anybody. Just play somebody. I'm being told we have a picture of DA points let's take a look at this guy And there he is. Yeah, all right the DA nice you nice bangs It's worth keeping an eye on James Madison the dukes Lucy. They're pretty good, right? The NCAA won't let them compete in the postseason though. Right. Ever.

Pretty much ever walk on my world. Well, till next year, I'll go back to you. It feels like it feels like forever because they should have played last year too. UCLA, you are not alone. Very few teams walk into Corvallis and come out alive. Seahawks, four trips in the red zone in the second half and only three points. You know what the B? It's Cincinnati Bengals stands for it stands Hill limp off the field for the final time. Did you see that? No. Tana Hill?

Oh bad for him. I can't believe that he's still in the league. That does feel like it might be it, right? Like if Malik Willis is just their guy or rather they're terrible and then drafted the next guy. I think if Tana Hill is your backup, you have a good quarterback situation. It just feels like the dolphin gave up on him so long ago, and he's still doing it.

He just has to realize the perfect world that is being a backup quarterback. He could be the best like Tisou's point. He could be the best in the league as a backup quarterback. He's from his backup quarterbacks. Chad Henny, he learned from Matt Moore. They got to live the life.

Chad Henny probably hated the first four years of his career when he was playing and Anyone to be a backup? He's like this sweet. Yeah, this is awesome. Same amount of money. No stress Slightly less money, but well, you had the one big drive last year for Kansas City in the playoffs 98 yards. Yeah, mom's went out That was selfish of Patrick my homes. We've done this So we could say Chad Hennie went out on top. He did Good for him. He won a Super Bowl. I was when When he was a part of it Billy like a major part of it He was the dolphins quarterback that got me. He's the one we drafted him. I'm like he's the one

Did he have a better career than Tana Hill? That's a good question. Hey Tana Hill never Played in the playoffs for the dolphins. He got hurt, Matt Moore played that game. Tannihill's been to a couple of AFC Championship games as a starter, right? A couple? Maybe one at least one. So one with the Titans. But that's Derek Henry's AFC title game, not Ryan Tannihill's. Well, it's fair. Chad Henny, two Super Bulls. Really? Yeah. Super Bull winning quarterback, Chad Henny. All right.

Two time. Greatest dolphin quarterback ever, more than Marino. He didn't do it for the dolphins though. No, greatest dolphins quarterback ever. He was on the dolphins. He's in the top loss. I think you have to win it with the dolphins to be in the dolphin category.

Why? I would say two is already ahead. I think two is the second best quarterback in dolphins. I'm sorry, I agree. I agree with you. No, Greacy right now is number two is already ahead. I think two is the second best quarterback in dolphins. It's under sorry. I'm sorry. I agree with you. No greasy right now is number two behind Merino, but he won a title. Who greasy? I know you're saying he's better than Merino. Who? Okay. I'm getting ready. What's happening here? Dolphins quarterbacks all time. Merino, greasy. I am putting two a third already. I'm putting them second number two. I think now I think this is down to Chad Henny and Bob greasy they each have to hear the worst. I've just

Chad Henny didn't win with the dolphins. Yeah, well neither did Dan Marino and you have him as the best ever so What do we do with Jay color? That's a great question. All right moving on I don't want to move on Jay color has one of the greatest the greatest plays in Dolphin history, which is when he was lined up in a wildcat out as a receiver and he didn't even move. One of my favorite plays up. Where is Jay Fiedler in this conversation? A head of Chad Henny. Impossible.

Chad Henny's a two time super bowl winning quarterback. How? How? That's impossible. Where is David Woodley in this conversation? He took him to a Super Bowl. He's not. Where do we stand on J. Cutler Presently?

Because I wasn't sure on that one. Like, I wanted to get a J. Cutler Dolphin's Jersey once very Cavalry started. And then I think he fell out of favor with the general public, and I thought, maybe I shouldn't get one. Yeah, I would say so. Okay, well, it was hard to find anyway, so I was, even if I wanted to, I couldn't. We still Yeah, I would say so. Okay, well it was hard to find anyways,

so I was, even if I wanted to, it couldn't. We still have four pages left on game notes. Well, we're getting down to the best dolphins quarterback ever. This is big. We've never done this before. I'm down into kickers next. It's Alinda Mario bus. There's no one after Alinda.

Get out of here. He'd stay on a bitch with like a word. Yes, it's a carpenter. It's Alinda Mario. He was in a luncheable's ad. Alinda Mario had a cool name, but wasn't very good. What? Overrated I'd say. Carpentry. Yeah. It's a Linda Mara. He was in a luncheable's ad. A little bit more. I had a cool name, but it wasn't very good. What?

Overrated, I'd say. Oh, shush. It's going to say shut your mouth, and I said, shush. And it turned into shush. Here are people saying that Bill Belichack has lost his touch. He hasn't lost his touch. He lost his quarterback. I spent 730 to 1030 PM Eastern on Sunday night, wondering how we beat the Eagles and how we lost to the Patriots at home.

49ers Browns, you have good wins. We did. The bill is also. We have bad losses though. You almost beat the Chiefs. I know. But we lost to the Patriots. 49ers Browns, Jets Eagles, any give it son? Lost is that you almost beat the Chiefs. I know But we lost to the Patriots

49ers Browns Jets Eagles and he give it Sunday The one tax that got from Smetti over the weekend Made me smile 49ers Browns Jets Eagles that's why play the games. Derek Rose is a grizzly. Do you know that Tony? I did not. Grisled vet. He didn't play for the nicks at all. Right? Like he just wore Jersey and just sat there on the bench the entire season. Yes. I also had to do stew and said 72 dolphins champagne. That's right. You did Guess I didn't make the cut I

Put it down I sent them a Chris and he decides what goes in and goes up Wait, you're blaming me Did not make any cuts welcome to the club Do you think Jimbo Fisher has looked at the Texas A&M athletic director Ed said ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha He said that with his performance with a wink.
