You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. It would be a tragedy if we were losing one person to drug overdose every day. Even five, seven, or twelve people. It would be unimaginable if fifteen families a day received news of a lost loved one to overdose. In honor of that Jim Harbaugh segment, that Michigan segment, that got us like it really, it got everybody hot and bothered around here, being able to complain about cheating. It felt like the good roiling of the undercurrent and the underbelly of what it is to speak into microphone. He cheated!

He's a cheater! You cheat! what it is to speak into microphone. He cheated! He's a cheater! You cheat! The only reason that guy with khakis is a genius is because he cheated. He had a guy with a manifesto, and he had a guy with hiding on the central Michigan sidelines.

And all of it mainstreams to gather, do some housekeeping and be like, you know what? I've got a top five list of cheaters. I do, yeah. It is the lifeblood of everything that we do around here, being able to shout that someone's cheating. I have a top five best cheaters of all time and the importance of this is,

I'm glad that Jim Horbaugh has done this, cheated because it has knocked me out of my top five. So, he's knocked you out of your own top five? I'm spoiler alert, but I had to adjust because we have a new cheater in town. You were, but wait a minute, you were on your own list of top five cheaters. I was number five. Yes, but I've been bounced out. You are. Oh, well, I know. Do Jessica and Mike Ryan, who care deeply about college football, do they care at all that the silliness of all of this has gotten to

a point where everything is going to look more and more like Bishop Sikamore, that there's going to be fraud and cheating and everything everywhere because there's- That's the history of the sport, Dan. And honestly, like, at my own personal opinion on all this Michigan stuff, like, I don't even really know if I care what happens. It's just funny and fun to have a scandal in the sport that is not, like, actively hurting another person. I'm more interested in finding out if they can actually punish an institution that's and fun to have a scandal in the sport that is not like actively hurting another person.

I'm more interested in finding out if they can actually punish an institution that's been caught red handed because the economy of the sport is such that it doesn't necessarily need the NCAA. The people that would have the power here in the big 10 have full autonomy. So I'm interested in the power struggle aspects of it because it feels pretty clear to the casual sports fan that Michigan did something to cheat. And while we can all disagree on how much that actually helped, we haven't seen it to that kind of level and we have circumstantial evidence that boosts argument. Beyond that though, it wouldn't have been any funnier if he had been

in full clown makeup. It would be the same that to have this scandal and people clocking seriously about how dare you come after my coach and my national championship. That's right. I got a god given right to dress up my guy on the center Michigan signline in a costume to steal signs and I'm going to put a clown nose on him and have him work clown shoes. Who is this person? He shoes this person passionate college football fans. Okay. Yes, I want my friend. I guess I want what they're talking about on Michigan message boards that Ohio State

found out this information. Elegally, they hacked into our systems. I kind of want that to be true. Yes. Just to help frame the game between Ohio State and Michigan. Oh, no, boohoo. Ohio State Michigan both get a post-season battle. I'm so torn up over it. Oh, maybe they don't have the death penalty. They don't get to play football anymore. Oh, no, that would be so tough.

Fair promise. James Frank, let's still won't get in. Fair of Stugots to say, who is that guy? Because it was a ridiculous caricature. But I would just tell you that guy shows up to tailgate in a pickup truck and he's got a grill in the back. And he hits back. I mean, that's a big fun. It's a big fun. Yeah, it's a big fun. I'm just telling you. What's he doing this week, guys?

He's going to support ever zealously that Michigan has a right no matter how much they've cheated to be one of the final four team standing so that they can get tens of millions of dollars. So if Stu's not on the list anymore, is that because Jim Harboss on the list now? Got the money. Number five. Barry Bond. Was that four? He moved to five. Never actually caught.

I know. But we all know. But never actually caught. That's what makes him a great cheater. Connor Stallions. Yeah, that's fair enough. Number four. Lance Armstrong.

Decidedly caught. Yep. Everything unraveled. So is it a good cheater or bad cheaters? Is someone who cheats well or should listen? He got away with it for a long time, like seven times. He won seven of those things, I think. And so pretty good cheaters. It's just cheaters. Yeah. He reports you to say cheaters. Yeah. Number three, Jim Harbaugh. Really? Yeah. Cheater.

I was reminded of the story and I knew when it happened that it happened, but I kind of forgot about it. Do you remember the time that Jim Harbaugh punched out Jim Kelly and broke his hand? I thought he punched a reporter. Was Jim Kelly a reporter? It was a sideline reporter. Was Jim Kelly and broke his hand. I thought he punched a reporter. Was Jim Kelly a reporter? It was a sideline reporter. Was Jim Kelly as a sideline? Wasn't Jim Kelly like working for one of the net worths?

Working for CBS at the time. And Jim Harball had to miss games because he hurt his hand, hurting Jim Kelly with it. That's right. Who could have seen that coming? That that would be somebody who later in life would be totally insane. Number two bill Bella check

Another sliding doors moment in football history because of Jim Harball. Because he punched Jim Kelly out in that production meeting, he broke his hand, the cult sucked that year and ended up drafting Peyton Manning. What? Leading Jimmer's hate of dance. What?

Leading Gimmer's hate of dance.
