Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.

And, you know, I know Danny's joking here, but Rich does get Botox. Before he got it done, he had actual Russell Crow's feet, Russell and Cheryl Crow's feet right around his eyes. Look how great he looks right now. Listen, I've never got Botox. Sure you haven't. And I can't say I never will. I mean, I'm in my 40s.

Maybe when I'm an old guy, maybe I'll be like, Maybe I'll try to look like Simon Cowell one day. But I think if you do any of that as a dude under 50, that's too soon. So let's wrap up the phone calls about Mahomes and the chiefs and the villainous ways. I thought about it more. Yeah.

Mahomes is a hero. He's a hero. I mean, heroic. He went from very likable to, man, come on. I'll tell you why. We're talking about whether or not him trying to draw an unnecessary. necessary roughness or a roughing the passer. Is that a little cheap?

Troy Aikman got in on it this past weekend. Take a listen. He's trying to draw the penalty. You see that rather than just run out of bounds, he slows down. That's been the frustration. And I get it. I understand it. That's been the frustration for these defensive players around the league.

And they had some moans and groans about that call where the defense collided against each other. It didn't even touch Mahomes. Now, if you're Patrick Mahomes, I say he's heroic. in the eyes of his teammates because knowing that I'm going to tiptoe along the sidelines and I'm going to actually try to get an undisciplined member of their secondary to run up and, you know, shove me out of bounds, tackle me once I get out. I think Mahomes should be applauded for putting himself out there.

That's team play right there. I mean, there's a lot of ways to look at it. How am I going to get my team another 15 yards? I'm playing with, I'm playing with fire here. I'm not, you know, that's another way to look at it, Rich. I respect it. I respect your view on it, I should say. But I look at it like, and it's a compliment.

I think Mahomes really truly is or should hold himself better and higher than that. He doesn't need to do that. It's like LeBron. You lose, honestly, you lose a little respect for LeBron because you know he's already the goat. You know he's one of the greatest out there to ever do it. When he's flopping and playing all these baby games to his advantage, just looks lame. It doesn't, it's not part of the game that's necessarily. You know when the NFL is going to run to tighten up the rules on this, the first time Mahomes gets lit up.

15 yards, whoever walks away is going to be like, I got my money's worth. Because Rich, we were joking about BroTox, but you still got wheels when you play in your, you know, your softball games. Imagine going full speed and then you had to stop on a dime. It's really, it's so hard to do as a defender. And we've seen former players talking. about this, yeah. So what's going to happen is a defender's not going to be able to stop at all, and they are going to clock the, you know what, out of Mahomes. Now, again, I can't look you guys in the eyes and say, I don't think it's a little cheap. But he wants to win, and you could argue

he was doing everything in his power to get an advantage. You always defend Andy Pettett, because he admitted to taking HGH to get back on the field. I've always been a little sympathetic to steroid users in sports. I'll tell you why. Because if I was at an elite level and you told me, here, take this and you'll be even better, I could see the temptation, dude. If you told me, here, inject yourself with this once a week and you'll be the biggest, baddest radio podcast show ever, I'd be taking performance-enhancing drugs

tomorrow. Well, truthfully, I never commended Petit for that. I commended him for... His honesty. His honesty and putting that fire out immediately. And you saw how it worked. The fact that he was honest, no one really got on it. I'm saying... It's the people that lied and denied all the time that really got the heat. I think people trying to get an edge in sports, in life, in business, I'll never blame a man or a woman for trying to get what's theirs.

However, it's not illegal. So if Mahomes was baiting people, you know. Okay. So, you know, by those rules, let's say you were dating somebody, right? But technically you were on a, you were like, you had a fight and you're like, You know what? We need a break and they cheated on you during that little weekend. Like, these are baby loopholes that don't necessarily apply.

Wow, that should be a plot line of a big sitcom. Yeah, but don't you still feel like you were cheated on? Why? Because you played by the little baby rules and you found a loophole, it's okay? I know what you're saying. That's what you're saying. And the microscope is on Mahomes. That little tiptoe on the sideline was the weakest of it.

So you're saying a tiptoe on the sidelines and drawing a 15-yard flag is the same is your girlfriend and you breaking up for a day and you taking that as a chance to go hook up. Yes, it's the cheapest loophole possible. I agree with that loop. I think that's a great analogy. Thank you. The guy that says, yeah, but, you know, baby,

we were like broken up for the weekend. That's a, I get it, it's cheap. We technically weren't together. Yeah, but why? Because we had a fight and, I mean, let it breathe. So anyway, we'll wrap it up with your phone calls. Just speculating, not hating anybody. Just.

chopping it up. 877.99 on Fox. Let's go to Jersey. E. Rock is ready. What's up, Erock? Hey, Erock. Hey, E. Rock. I think she got Scotty Bonds.

I think they can upset the Chiefs. And Travis Kelsey's girlfriend is going to be crying in the stands. I told my daughter and her friends, my daughter's seven. So all her little pals are all seven, eight years old that love Taylor Swift. And I said, you guys should all root against the Chiefs.

Why, Dad? because if Taylor Swift is sad, do you know how much new music's going to come out of this? There'll be songs about consoling your man. I think this is a benefit from the loss. You know, I'm so fixated on if the bills do win, I'm waiting there, sitting there waiting for Josh Allen, some of the leaders of the team,

to give props to the previous generations of teams that came so close. Because I feel like they deserve it. This one's for you, Scott Norwood. I swear. Like, I really. want that to happen. I want it to be for the fans of the 90s and the players that

came so close that paved the way for this community of bills fandom and legacy. I can't wait to see them give credit to Jim Kelly and Norwood and all those other guys. Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, this is for you. I think that's

deserved because it was so heartbreaking. I do. I really feel like if they do, they better do that. If they win, I got to see that. Let's go to Pete and PA. What's up, Pete? Yeah, when you're talking about all this Mahomes stuff, and it was like probably six games ago,

if I'm a coach of a team, I tell him my defenders, if you get the chance on the sideline to light him up, light him up, hit him so hard, crush him in that, do whatever you have to do, I want you to get thrown out of the game, you hit him so hard. because what he is doing is nonsense.

And I love him. I think he's awesome, but what he's doing is nonsense. Yeah, I think that's how we all feel. Look, no one wants to see him get hurt, right? And that's the risk. Because guess what? You don't want to be the guy that hurts Mahomes either. Yeah.

You know, man, that's just bad for everybody. But, yeah, we all like Mahon. He's a likable guy. And this almost goes against his character, right? It doesn't match. He's a winner. All right. He's a slippery little one, isn't he?

He's a slippery scoundrel. He's a rascal. You know, we can wrap this because we got Mahomes trivia to do. I know we want to talk about the Hall of Fame inductions. We'll get word on that from DB and a few. But let's wrap up Mark in Missouri. Mahomes, you could agree a likable guy. You know my mom even said my mom's a Raiders fan like you, Danny?

She goes, I watch quarterback and I hate to say it. He's so, seems like such a nice guy. I'm like, yeah, he is. and his wife and everything. I feel like Mahomes is a great human being. But these little shenanigans, I could see where they rub people the wrong way. You can look at it as you're trying to get an edge, or you can say, it's getting a little dirty now.

You know what's interesting about Mahomes and how he has always carried himself? There are very few opportunities where things have gone wrong for Mahomes. But one of the opportunities was when they were playing the bills and Cadarius Tony lined up off sides, Remember they busted them? Yep. And the bills end up winning the game. And Mahomes runs to Josh Allen.

And instead of saying, good game, you know, you got us on this one. All they do is, that's the worst call I've ever seen. It's the worst call I've ever seen in my life. And so there are very few instances where Patrick Mahomes is on the short side of things. Right. So it's interesting to see, like, on how he responds. And there's just been such few work where we have seen where he has lost. They lost to the Buccaneers in a game where they didn't have two tacked.

and he was running for his life and he handled that with grace. I'm just looking at that other one being like, okay, well, what about if things turn sour? You know, is there that little part of him? I want to see that part of Mahomes, right? The edge of Patrick Mahomes because we did see it come out on that Bill's play. Does he lose his cool? Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. Maybe we'll ask that. Let's wrap with Mark. Mark, you're on. Did we talk to Mark or no? No. Okay. Hey, Mark.

What's up? Hey. I was just calling about this Mahomes deal. I'm a homer. I'm from Missouri, so these crying about this issue doesn't sit well with me. Let me, this discussion about, well, he's just doing it to draw a penalty or a foul. Well, if that's a criteria, my God, we don't want these hard counts anymore by quarterbacks, because why are they doing it to draw a penalty?

We don't want these quick snaps when the defense has too many men on the field. why because they're trying to drop penalty. Hey, Mark, listen, buddy boy, that was sort of my point, so don't say everyone. I was sort of saying what you were saying, that we always try to get a competitive advantage. And this one just, it feels a little dirtier because it involves a hit and involves a guy going full speed,

like what do you expect them to do? That's what it is right there. Like when Aaron Rogers was the master of the hard count and he got people to jump. What is that? Oh, you tricked me, Aaron. Yeah, but those rules are clear, right? Like these other rules, like you do.

You have defenders tiptoeing around because they don't know what to do. I think there's a solution, and the solution is simple. Make 15-yard penalties, 15-yard penalties of this sort reviewable. Because if it's a clearly bad hit, penalty stays. If not, if you see the quarterback, you know, up to shenanigans or it wasn't as bad of a hit as you thought, then you could simply pull the flag and say, no foul on the point.

No, then it's 15 yards against them. How about that? Yes. Go ahead and flop now, baby. Now you've gone too far. Are you a fan when a boxer does this? You know, let's tap gloves and go. Oh, I hate that.

And they do go for a cheap shot because protect yourself at all times? Yeah. Cheap as hell. And a prime example would be when Floyd Mayweather knocked out Victor Ortiz. That was the weakest knockout I've ever seen. I never respected it. In other words, if you never saw the fight, the golden rule in boxing is protect yourself at all times. And Ortiz was trying to like, you know, hug Maywey.

and just tap gloves, like get back at the fight. And in the middle of him trying to show a little respect, Mayweather knocked them out. That's weak. That it is. And I get it. You're supposed to protect yourself, but that's finding a cheap loophole to your advantage.

That's what I think, my homes. Yeah, it does. I get it, but I don't respect it. Yeah. Right? Did Mayweather need to do that? Especially when it's a Floyd Mayweather. He's one of the greats.

So, yeah, I mean, I try to be consistent on that. Good call. Dan Byer. And before we get to Dan's update, what's up, Dan? I was just going to say, we're about to find out the hall. Yeah, I haven't thought on this. Okay. You know, there's a lot of great names.

We have the list here. I mean, they're all great players. And the only difference is some are really great players and some are really good players. Summer Hall of Fameworthy. Some are borderline. But they're all really good. All these dudes are really impressive names on this list, right? Well, don't people like to say, like, it's not the Hall of Great.

It's the Hall. It's, you know, this is, yeah. It's not the whole of good. And I got to say this before it happens. If Ichi-Rosuzuki is not unanimous, my goodness. Some writers just, you know. That's another one of those moments where some writers flexing for no reason. Yeah.

Like this is the guy who without a doubt should be unanimous. The way he handled himself, his career in Japan and an MLB combined as a professional. the way he... And by the way, that should play maybe a little more of a factor in the unanimous that'll tell you why, because now the Hall of Fame doesn't it comprise of Major League Baseball and the Negro League numbers, right? When it comes to records? It does, yeah.

So maybe you do account for more of what Ichiro did in Japan. It's unbelievable what he did in Japan and in the MLB and just how great he was in every stage of his career, his longevity. If he's not unanimous, you know some dude is flexing. And if anyone should be unanimous, a la Mariana Rivera's each euro. Can I give you guys two names before a DB lets us know the scoop when it comes in?

There's two names where I'm so torn on because I'm like, I don't know, am I inflating them or not giving them enough credit? Two people. Carlos Beltran and Andrew Jones. Are you saying they're borderline guys? I'm like, I don't know. I would be not shocked if it went either way

because I look at Andrew Jones and he's so symbolic of those great Braves teams and just his glove alone and what he did is a defender. in the outfield. And Beltron was a great postseason player other than that one strikeout as a Met. And he had like, what, 430, 460 home runs? He was up there. Beltron defensively speed, everything, smart ball player. Carlos Beltran,

as John Miller would call him. John Miller would call him. Carlos Beltran. Carlos Beltran in his prime. I feel like there was a point, I mean, in everybody's life. He would glide through the outfield like a gazelle. Yeah. But and then there was a real clear point, like I said, in everybody's life, but in a professional athlete's life, his life especially, where he went from really great athlete to like, he put on a few extra pounds, it wasn't the same. But Carlos Beltran, I think, yeah, I think he's a whole thing. I think there's some guys on that list that are really good, but they're not. Like,

Grandyman. Curtis Granderson, good, but not a hallfamer. Bobby Abraeu, same thing. Mani Ramirez is in. There's no question. Mani. I think Omar Viscale is in just based on his gold glove and his gold gloves and his legacy as a, as a, as a, as a, is a, is a, miraculous infielder. Each hero should be unanimous. Forget about being in. C-C.'s in guaranteed. You know, these should be guarantees to me.

Yes, yes. Yes, yes, Sabathia. C-C. Captain Crunch Sabathia. So a lot of people don't know his real name is Captain Crunch Sabat. Are people, are they in Cooperstatt? Are they going to put his extra large baggy Yankees pants?

Yes, yes. That looked like he was wearing pajamas. His pajamas are making the Hall of Fame. Pajamas? So I can't wait to hear this, but Yeah, not everybody's getting in. So I don't think Arod gets in. I'm sorry. He's not, I mean, his numbers are there, but because of the steroids, he's not in. Not happening.

DB, are we breaking news yet or should we break and come back? What do you think? Breaking news? Oh. Breaking news from Fox Sports. So this is in progress, guys. All right. Itiro Suzuki, officially a Hall of Famer, member of the class of 2025.

Wow. As is C.C. Sabathia. officially a member of the class of 2025. They are making the announcement as we speak because of the great accomplishments. They're listing off the accomplishments of each of the players. And so far it's been each row at C.C. Sabathia. And we expect at least another name or two,

as they said, that it is a multiple player class. Not only that. You know, I put C.C. Sabathia in a different category because... You have a great postseason pitcher, too. I remember he was like a hired gun for a couple of years. years. I remember the Brewers years. Like, Cece, wherever he was, he played big in my mind. He's just one of those old school

guys again who I just feel like if he was healthy, he could have been even closer to 300 wins. What was he? Like 250 something? You know, he was up there in Wins. Great career with Cleveland, Milwaukee, New York. 19 years

in the Biggs. I just looked it up. And Billy Wagner is the final member of the class of 2025. So Billy Wagner gets into the Hall of Fame. final year on the ballot. That's it? That is it. The three players that are in.

Wow. So my speculation on Beltron and Andrew Jones were close, but maybe not first ballot. We were sort of right on the money with that. Billy Wagner, what did I say before the announcement? I said, last year he was within five votes like DB confirmed. And do you remember in the offseason? Billy Wagner said, yeah, who cares about the Hall of Fame? If you're not going to vote me in because I chose to retire early and spend time at my

kids, then, you know, beat it. That must have got into the mind of some writers. And you don't think? Yeah, but I'm sort of surprised Omar Visckel didn't get in. He's like, he had 200, 2,877 hits. That's the 10023 short. Give me a break. He had enough gold gloves to make up for that.

What about since he hit on my... 11 gold gloves he had. He also hit on my sister when he was in the minor leagues. And so you're saying he was a good taste. He could have been a member of the buyer family? I don't know if we, Omar's had some stuff in his past, but when he was a minor league or, yeah, he was sure interested. Wow. Yes. Invited her to a game.

Maybe you could have been best pals. It could have been like the Omar and Dan show. Right. I'm just thinking defensively, wow, I'm surprised he wasn't in there. But congratulations to the class of 2025 baseball Hall of Fame. Ichiro, Sabathia, and Billy Wagner. How about this? This is what's going to stand out.

It was Josh Rowich of the Hall of Fame just announced. Each row is not a unanimous selection. That's garbage. One person kept him off the ballot, 99.7% of the vote. Karate kicked in the chest. That is a joke. I mean, you don't know baseball, right? It's like, to me, I'm always fascinated.

Like, that person should have their votes revoked. Without a doubt. I mean that. I'm not saying that for a fact. Like, deserves, like, a slap in the face. Imagine it was Rob Parker. It's like, it was me. There's got to be integrity involved.

My whole issue with it, and I'm not picking on Covino, but for the only person to be Mariano Rivera in the closer position, it's not that he isn't or shouldn't have been a first ballot or a unanimous. It's just that he's the only one that is. And it's so crazy to me that we sit here and we look at the closer position or reliever position and now scrutinize it in today's game that he is the only unanimous one. Yeah, Mo Rivera. I mean, look, as the Yankees fan, I don't mind.

He's still the only one, but I do think that each year old is worthy of that. Well, hey, we got more Kavino and Rich. We're going to get to Showtime Mahomes trivia you want in. Win a Swiggy.

podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys?

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys. remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.

We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.

Honestly, how does that reporter, writer, whoever that vote belongs to, how do they look at themselves in the mirror or look at anyone with a straight face and say, well, I don't think each row is a whole favorite.

Well, I don't want to be the story. So congrats to Billy Wagner, Cici Sabathia and each year all deserving. Cici. And each row should have been unanimous, but whatever. They're in there. That's all that matters. As you know, Derek Jeter and each year old, one vote shy of unanimous. We're live from the Tyrak.com studio.

Our FSR security walking our broke Patrick into the main studio. You guys are chirping, man. Oh, hey, chirping and you're tripping. You got it all wrong. Patrick Mahomes, good guy. Do you feel like... I'm just committed to winning, guys. Don't be jealous.

Do you feel like Tupac this week? You against the world? It's me against the world. Going for the three Pete. Don't hate. Congratulate. Oh, congrats on your baby. Let's hear you talk to Smack now, Rich Davis.

I had your back, Patrick. It was Kavino. That's why he dipped. Listen, Fox Sports Radio Nation, you got it all wrong. Patrick Mahomes here. You have to realize that I'm a great guy. I'm a good guy. And I'm just committed to doing everything I possibly can to win.

You can't hate me for that. Yeah, and you come into our show every week. And I'm here every week. Yeah. And guess what? Going to smack the bills around next week. How about that? How about that?

Wait till I smack them around. All right. Let's meet the contestants, 24-time winner, Rich, Davis right over there. 18-time champion, Dan Byer. Hello. Seven-time winner, Spotty Boy. Big number eight today.

Feeling it. Looking to win a C&R. Stainless Steel Swiggy on the studio lines. Patrick in Scottsdale, Arizona. What up, Patrick? Hey, Pat. Yeah, what's that? Let's do this.

How we do it, guys? And guys, let's make the rules clear, right? Let's keep the rules consistent. There's no cheating, right? Everybody on their high horse calling me out. No cheating. no breaking of the rules. You really need to listen to this part.

Not every Patrick. Yeah, because this is the rules for Showtime of Homes and NFL trivia. The first contestant with two correct answers is the champion. If there's a tie, we have a tiebreaker question. Your name is your buzzer, but you do have to wait until all three possible answers are read. If there's two wrong answers in a row, we move on to the next question. Are you ready? Let's go.

Let's get it on. All right, I'm here, Patrick Mahomes, the villain. And I'll also be here someday. How many square feet is the pro football? Hall of Fame in Canton. Oh. 118,000 square feet. 132,000 square feet.

Or C, 85,000 square feet. Patrick. I go with 132. No. Oh, rich. Rich for the steel. I feel like it's deceptively maybe smaller than we think. 85C.

Oh, you're both losers. Ah, man. 118,000 square feet. It was originally 19,000. thousand square feet before our three expansions. 118,000. We'll see you there one day. And congrats to Ichu Ross, my guy.

Okay. So nobody on the board yet as we moved to round two. What was I once quoted saying about making mistakes? Here we go. A, we all make mistakes in football. The key is to not make them in the fourth quarter. B, I just try to learn from every mistake that I make so that I never make them again. or C, only mistake I make with the refs

was treating them to the melting pot instead of Ruth's Chris Steak House. Patrick got in there. B, yes. Yeah. I say C. Let's go. Big melting pot fan.

By the way, I didn't make any mistake flopping on the sideline this weekend. I actually tripped. It was a trip. If you look closely, I just stumbled on my foot. And you heard it here on Fox Sports Radio. You ever get that cheese fondue with the melting pot? It's pretty good.

Fantastic. It's great. So Patrick and Scottsdale's on the board as we moved to round three. All right, round three. Patrick Mahomes here. Who was the first player to return a punt for a touchdown in his NFL debut? Was it A, Dion Sanders, B, Tim Brown, or C, Devin Hester? Dan.

Oh, Bayer got in there. I'm going to guess B. Tim Brown? No. Oh, you went with Denny as a Raiders fan. So, oh, what do you think, Patrick? Did Patrick get in there? You're going Dion Sanders.

You just won a Swiggy, yes. Wow. All right, man. You just won like they were going to win against the bills. Patrick in Arizona, congrats. We're going to mail out a CNR Swiggy to you. Thanks, bud. I think he cheated.

He didn't really go. What is the Squiggy, by the way? It's a stainless steel water. bottle. Oh, man, I can't wait. What a guy. Thank you, Patrick. Hold on.

It's a man thong. Be sure to send a picture. Bye, Patrick. Good luck. All right. Hey. A stringy. Patrick.

Let's hope the bills don't annihilate you when you tiptoe on the sideline. We will see on Sunday. By the way, I'm putting you on the spot. Dan Byer, Danny J. Anyone read any weather reports for Sunday? Is Kansas City going to be just chilly or is there wet snow or anything or no? It's a night game. It'll be the second game, but it's low of 24, high of about 36 that day.

That's not bad. No snow, no freezing temperatures. It's not horrible. Well, I'll be fired up. I got to go. Oh, you're still here? Yeah, all right. Later, guys.

All right. Don't be hating. You notice he's got extra security. Bye, Patrick. Later, guys. Later, Pat. Bye, Patrick. Real quick, before we get back to the NFL.

I just saw Patrick in the hallway. He was annoyed with all the smack talk today. I told him, hey, man, we're just trying to figure it out, man. just trying to figure it out. That wasn't security. That was the refs. You know, we're all hugging out. Can I tell you, my, my, he, uh, Patrick Mulhomes rocks with, uh, this whole crew there

wearing a foot locker outfit. Yeah, it's weird. Yeah, I don't know. Can I tell you, my, uh, my instinct now that he's gone. And I don't want to insult Patrick Williams. Why would you want to do that in front of him? My, uh, my instinct, which could mean absolutely nothing because, you know, even the best of gamblers, what, hit 50 to 60 percent.

I feel like Buffalo may, annihilate Kansas City. I know that sounds like, how can you even say that when the, when the chiefs go 15 and two and they're back-to-back champions? I just feel like, I feel like you watch the chiefs all year beat teams by just being smarter and by just, like you said, they gain less yards than the Texans last week. Everything about Kansas City feels like they're just smart and fine ways to win. You want a lukewarm take that I'm willing to say on Fox Sports Radio.

But what I'm saying is the same way last night, you could say, man, Notre Dame just had so much car what a great team but i ohio state was just so much they just have better talent i think right now buffalo is just a better team and the only way kansas city wins is if they win by pure football brains i feel like my homes and kelsey and the chief still got that magic in them and what really convinced me of that was that play where he was falling down he threw it to kelsey in the end zone kelsey just caught it there wide while he was it just reminded me that you know what maybe they barely won all these games this year, but they still got that magic. They're still the Chiefs.

You could argue last year. They barely did everything and they won a Super Bowl. DeB, let's go to you for an update, but any thoughts on that Buffalo thought or no? I feel like Buffalo is so primed to win right now. I don't have that sense. No, I don't have that sense. I think it could be a lower scoring game

just because of how good Kansas City's defense has been. But hey, if you're right, then kudos to you, and I'd like to see Buffalo win, so I actually do hope that you're right. I want to quick give you guys an exercise. I voted, I printed out the voting ballots for the Hall of Fame. Yeah. There are three players. And by the way, this is not meant to disrespect anyone. These are all great players who had great careers to be even nominated on

the ballot is great. But there are three players who didn't receive one vote at all from voters. All right. I got two of them. And so at the end of the update, I want to see if you guys can match who didn't, what three players didn't receive any votes. There were players that received the most votes? That was Itiro Suzuki, almost a unanimous pick, falling one vote shy of being the second player unanimously selected to the Hall of Fame. He was on 99.7% of the ballots getting 393 of the 394 votes needed for induction into the Hall of Fame. He's the lead

name of the class of 25, but not the only name. C.C. Sabathia gets in in his first year, while it took 10 tries, but Billy Wagner is in. He got past the 75% threshold. Carlos Beltron fell short. He received 70.3% of the vote. You need 75% to get in. Andrew Jones, 66.2%. He is not a Hall of Famer this year. S&Y reports the Jets have begun to inform candidates. They are no longer in the running four positions with the team as it's believe that Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will be the team's new head coach and commander's assistant GM Lance Newmark becoming the team's new general manager. Vikings and head coach Kevin

O'Connell agreed to a multi-year extension. O'Connell's old deal expired at the end of 2025. Patriots are hiring Josh McDaniels to be their offensive coordinator under Mike Vrable. And Cowboys' Offensive Coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, according to the NFL Network, is interviewing for the head coaching position with the team. All right, you guys got your three names. By the way, did Rex Ryan have anything to say about the Jets finalizing their coaching decisions or no? He's got his foot in his mouth or his wife's.

I like it. All right. Okay. So I think, yeah, he's got his wife's foot in his mouth. I would have to say two definites that didn't get any votes is Arod and Ramirez for steroid involvement. Nope, I disagree with that. Which is correct. Okay.

Oh, wow. My first, I have like, who. I narrowed it down to five and then I'll pick. Let me give you my five. Okay. Tell me if like, well, we'll play a little game. I got Carlos Gonzalez, Ian Kinsler, Russell, Martin, Fernando Rodney, and Bed Zobrist. Two of those are correct.

Wow. But you said three didn't, right? Yes. Three. Ian Kinzler. I was to say, yeah, Kinsler then. So you're going Kinsler? I thought maybe people were going back on their steroids.

Kinsler and Ben Zobrist. Zobrist is one of them. Okay. Fernando Rodney is another. Okay. Hanley Ramirez did not receive a vote. Wow. Okay.

Yeah. Surprising. Cargo got two votes. Ian Kinsler got 10. Wow. Okay. Maybe I'm down playing Ian Kinsler. And for Covino's point, Alex Rodriguez received 146 votes, 37.1%.

Mani Ramirez got 34.3. Andy Petit, 27.9% of the vote. All right. Can you give me one more? I'm sorry. I know if he did it during the update. My dude, David Wright. David Wright got 8% of the vote. Got 32 votes. Injuries buried that guy. That sucks. Really good guy. Good guy. Yeah, great guy. Hey, listen, we got more Camino and Rich. And speaking of baseball, what would you do if you're an 11th? year old kid and you pull a card out of a pack that could change your family's future.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential. title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

And, you know, a couple of those guys who are close, but. No cigar. We shall see what happens next year. But, yeah, if you get no votes, that's sort of like, oh, man, don't even put me on the ballot then, right? It's a little embarrassing, but still an honor to be there. Of course. You know? Now, there's a story in the world of baseball. Less about baseball, more about people that collect cards.

Do you remember the story about Paul Skeen's and how there was a baseball card, one of one? one of one that's out there somewhere. Well, Tops created this MLB debut, rookie debut patch that went on all the jerseys of new players in their debut. So it was a one-on-one Paul Skeen's card. Paul Skeen being one of the biggest names in the league.

But the pirates, the real key to the story is the pirate said, whoever gets this card. Who won I, Willie? We're going to, no, the actual Pittsburgh power. They're like, we're going to roll out the pirate red carpet for you. If you get this card, you get season tickets. Yeah, we're going to treat you like 10. Season tickets for 30 years.

30 years, man. Yeah, but hold on. Let's take it back because they want it for their own little, you know, stadium display. Stadium display. Also, they'll give you a softball game exclusive for 30 at PNC Park plus coaching from the Pirates alumni. And I get why they want it. Paul Skeen's.

big player. You're trying to create a legacy here. It's fun for the fans to see. Your own little piece of the history that in your mind you think is really yours, right? Well, but guess what? Some 11-year-old nose picker got it. Topps reported Tuesday morning this morning

that an 11-year-old from Los Angeles. By the way, that's the key to the story, I think. Pulled a one-of-one. Let's remind ourselves, one-of-one. There's not like, oh, there's so many rookies. This is a one-of-one Skeen's rookie card. Now, auction houses have been desperately trying to figure out,

is this kid going to want to sell it? Just to make it clear, though, the card has the actual patch that they wear on the card and it's autographed. So these are highly coveted cards. Now, put that with this Paul Skeen's name. It's worth even more. Plus the value that the pirates have created around it. And then even his girlfriend's like,

You could come sit with me at a game and you gawk like a creepo. It's an 11-year-old boy. Libby Duns involved. There's so many questions I have, but I think the one question we'll try to sneak it. We have a minute. If you're this kid's parents, is it really your card? Or you're going to be like, hey, kid, you pulled it, put away some for college. But if you want to buy, you know, PS5 and buy a new bike, like, is this kid going to reap the benefits?

Or is this like a family price? Give me a break. That's like if your grandma buys you some scratch-offs and you win, what, you got to split it with grandma? No, she bought it with the intent of if you win the money, you get it. It has a difference of grandma buying your $5 scratch reverse. This kid has a... This can be a million dollars. Good. If you're a good parent,

you say, hey man, that's your money and you put it away for your kid and invest it. I think the interesting part is, what are they going to do? Because this kid wants no part of the pirates. He's a Dodgers fan. So, you know, maybe we'll break this down more tomorrow. Cavinon Rich. We'll see you then. Until then.

Arrivederechi, baby. See you in the promise. Goodbye. It's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.
