Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the right time, a wave original. My name is Beaumani Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you get your podcast. Thanks for watching us on YouTube. Subscribe, like, rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only give us four stars. I've been inclined to believe you are a hater. We're going to talk a little college football later in a fascinating assortment of other news.

But I will tell you, I never thought. It never dawned on me. I never dreamed of it. I never imagined the scenario. where I would come out of a Sunday of football, looking forward to talking to people about the unreal quarterback duel that we witnessed between Baker Mayfield

and Sam Darnel. Now look, need you guys to understand something, okay? I ain't falling for this Sam Darnold thing. I'm not. I may ultimately end up being wrong and there's nothing to fall for, right? But until I am positive, there's nothing to fall for, I'm not going to fall for it.

I would even go another step and tell you, I'm not particularly interested in falling for this Baker Mayfield thing either. I think Baker Mayfield has squarely worked himself into starting quarterback territory, good to very good starting quarterback territory. But I think we're getting a little bit excessive and overstating what's going on with him playing in the NFC South and all this other stuff, right?

It's there. Let me explain something to y'all. I don't have a great answer for how good a defense, Tampa Bay and Seattle were playing in that game, but that ball was not touching the ground. That game looked like what it must have been like when the dream team would do the three-man weave. Like, this ball is not touching.

the ground. They were just going up and down the field. And I'm going to be honest with you. Sam Darnold was playing well enough in that game that I was watching the stuff he was doing. And it was making me ask something of myself that I never feel like I want to have to ask of myself, which is, hey, man, are you just out here being a hater right now? You understand what I'm saying? Like, are you just out here being a hater right now? Because he looks so goddamn good, carving up of Tampa Bay. Now, I also recognize that part of why Tampa Bay looked like they was getting carved up out there and why they looked so sorry while they was out there is they were out there

wearing loser suits. Like, Ryan, I know you're too young to remember when Tampa Bay used to wear the loser suits every week, but they looked like that game right there looked like it was Seattle wearing, you know, because both of them came in the league the same year. They're both in their 50th season. And so Seattle was wearing kind of their OG joints and Tampa Bay was wearing they OG joints and that looked like a four and 12 team against an eight and 17. I mean, eight and 18, because it felt like the Seahawks were eight and eight every year that they

wore those uniforms and with Tampa Bay, who to this day has the lowest winning percentage for a franchise in the history of the NFL. They was out there in the loser suits, like watching them getting diced up wearing them loser suits. That looked real familiar, brother, real familiar. Yeah, those every day, as like you said, a little before my time. But as you said, they combined for 10 incompletions on the day and both had quarterback ratings around 1.35. So pretty, pretty solid work for the guys in the average shoot and the loser suit. Let me tell you this about the Tampa Bay loser suits. And I guess this is probably changed now with Mayfield, but prior to Mayfield,

Tampa Bay had never signed a quarterback to a second contract. The whole history of the team, they never signed a quarterback to a second contract. That feels impossible. The only one that they ever kind of wanted to sign to a second contract was Doug Williams, but fucking racism. They were offer him less than they offer backup quarterbacks, even though he had got them to the NFC championship game. But that's who they are. Baker Mayfield is kind of like without question the best quarterback that

Tampa Bay has ever had. I have not seen a quarterback be consistently good for a number of years. Like Baker seems to be on his way. Even old Brady. Yo, damn, I forgot that happened, didn't it? Yeah.

That did happen. But the thing about old Brady is, I think like that second Brady year to me was better than the first one, because the first one, if you remember in the playoffs he was not good yeah i mean and they kind of put it together that first half of the year they weren't good yeah they did some overcoming they had to take stuff out of the playbook because he couldn't throw outs no more like it was he's fighting with bruce arians that's right and then that second year he almost came back and he almost won that MVP yes yeah but now they're out here they're killing it and people talk about this you know the thing about to me about that team as it

stands is they're barely beating everybody they beat but they're beating just about everybody they play. And they almost got that win over the Eagles, where they would have been undefeated, but they play into Falcons as tight as they play into Seahawks, basically as tight as they play into Eagles. Like, it doesn't tell me anything, but they look like they have a good quarterback. And Seattle also looked like they had a good quarterback. And I just don't know what to make. These are two guys that were both on the Carolina Panthers very recently, both of whom were drafted in 2018 and both of whom by the time we got to the year, I guess it's 2022, were actual real live journeymen.

I think they've been on a combined nine teams. But can you think who has played their way out of journeyman status? Like these guys are all former journeymen. The thing that's most amazing about that 2018 draft, which is like, it's not the 1983 draft for quarterbacks that had all the Hall of Famers, except it is going to have Josh Allen, who I think will probably make the Hall of Fame. It will have Lamar Jackson, who absolutely will make the Hall of Fame. Baker Mayfield has had some good seasons in the NFL.

Sam Darnold seems to be piecing this thing back together, the Josh Rosen thing. That's wild. That, you know, it's like it never happened. But literally, none of them turned out the way the most people thought, whether that had been good or bad. Nobody went right at like, oh, yeah, well, that's, that's what I saw was. going to happen for those guys. None of it. It's just been like a mixed hodgepodge of results for all of those dudes, right? It wasn't on display in Baltimore because Lamar Jackson was hurt and they're

finished. They got their asses kick. And yes, part of it is that Cooper Rush was the quarterback. This was the week of backup quarterbacks we'd seen previously be good coming down to Earth. Jake Browning went back to be in cheeks after that one stretch he had where we saw him start and he was good a couple years ago. Nah, cheeks. No other way to look at it. Just cheeks. Carson Wentz, he didn't look like cheeks, did he?

He's not like short of cheeks level. I don't think that he got to that place. But Cooper Rush, you would have thought that he would have been better for the Ravens, but that's not the reason the Ravens gave up 147 points on defense. They are absolutely done, done. Harbaugh gave the voter confidence for his defensive coordinator, and that's nice of him. But the bottom line is the defensive coordinator is going to get fired first, and then Harbaugh is going to get fired sometime around the end of the year unless something drastic changes.

This is the team that we came into the year talking about is maybe being the most talented in the league, everything else. Boom. It's like they're not even there. It's like they're not even there. I guess we would also say that the next talented team, most of us would have leaned into, would have been the Eagles, and they lost this game to Denver. Ryan, I don't know how much you watched of this game, but this team is so weird.

I did not come out of that feeling like the Broncos were a very good team. But the Broncos scored 18 points in the fourth quarter to the Eagles scoring none. And this same Eagles team that wouldn't throw the ball at all last week, threw it 23 out of 24 times in the second half? Yeah. 23 out of 24 times in the second half. With a lead. With the lead.

With the lead. And by the way, while they were throwing the ball 23 out of 24 times in the second half, they only scored seven points. They're up 17 to 3 going into the fourth quarter and all they did was throw the ball. What are we doing here? Like that feels, and you tell me if I'm, if I sound ridiculous. Because I don't want to pretend like what we do in our world is truly that important. but that felt like somebody doing something to prove a point to us.

Yeah, it's a very bizarre thing with Eagles because both Seekwan and Eagles offensive linemen have talked about how hard that the last year was on them with all the touches Seekwan had. The attempt for the 2000-yard season, you know, the wear and tear those offensive linemen had on their bodies. But still, it's very bizarre. We've heard all these A.J. Brown comments. and now they they lose the game almost trying to prove a point. They obviously didn't prove. Do you see how many times they gave the ball to running backs in this game? I did not.

Nine. Nine. Sequin Barclay had six carries. Six carries. We got people who get into chat on the YouTube or in the comments, and they see me as being some sort of Philadelphia hater, which is weird. I don't really have a thought about Philadelphia in one direction or the other. hate the Phillies, but that doesn't even come up on this show.

Right. You guys have to, like, agree with what we're talking about right now, though. There's no way in the world that you think that what I'm talking about is just hating on them. There's no way in the world that you came out there. Look, say whatever you want about Jalen Hertz. He's not the guy to drop back 38 times and for you to run it nine with running backs. Like that, you guys can't do that. Your team can't be that.

And again, it's not like Bo, Knicks was out here setting the world on fire. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't think that he played well in that game. I didn't think they did a particularly good job for running the ball. I did not come out of this with anything really, although I guess as the game went, the Broncos defense got better, but I didn't come out of

this feeling like the Broncos did anything particularly well. It just fell full on like the Eagles lost the game and they looked like a team that has some level of awareness within itself that it is not as good as its record indicates. Who have they beaten? Okay?

The Cowboys that none of us think are good, even though who, boy, the Jets do they think, they beat the brakes off and up. The Chiefs that none of us are sure are good. The Buccaneers, who we just talk about, keeps squeaking by everybody, but how good they are is debatable. And I guess you'll give them the Rams,

but we just saw the Rams lose that game at home on Thursday night, and nobody loses at home on Thursday night. Like, what's there to feel good about with them right now? I don't see it. Do you think they're the constant shifting of the office coordinator? I mean, this is the fourth one they've had in four years. They had Shane Stuyken, Brian Johnson, obviously, Kellyn Moore is now coaching sense.

They have a new guy in there now. This looks like a team without an offensive identity and an all, like, a philosophy. Yeah, he's not like a lot of Richie. Their team with no direction, no purpose. That comparison does not come up before. I'm not going to lie to you. Yeah. No, no, no.

But it doesn't. Okay. So, yes, they've switched out coordinators every year since 2020. The Doug Peterson year and then every year after that, they switched out coordinators. Some continuity, one would think, was certainly helped. What I find interesting about it is I always felt like Brian Johnson got scapegoated in 23 as being whatever the problems happened to be. And then he goes and has a significant role in Washington where Jayton,

Daniels looks very good that next year. The theory that people have thrown out that I find to be interesting is that in 2023, they opened it up more for Jalen Hertz and he turned the ball over a lot more. And we saw what happened as it all came apart at the end of that year. Last year, they played a much more conservative brand of football and they won the Super Bowl. So the approach seemed to be, well, we will continue to play this conservative brand of football. and then we will go there. I would say not to let the smooth taste fool you about the game that they played against

Denver in that they did throw the ball a lot, but I didn't feel like they were taking that many chances. They got a couple of big plays at one really big was 50-something yards to Devonte Smith and another one to a wide open Saquan Barkley. But they're not willing to take any chances. And the truth is, if you're not willing to take any chances and you're going to throw the ball that many times, that's crazy. You might as well run the ball

because at least you can inflict some punishment on the people on the other side. But I don't... Look, guys, I know it's me talking, okay? I understand how it appear and what you'll think about the fact that it's me that's the one that's saying this right now. But you know as well as I know

who the best team in the NFC is right now. It looked very clearly, once again, to be America's team, Detroit Lions. You have not watched... When's the last time you watched the Eagles and thought they looked as good as what we've seen the Lions be the last couple of them? please show it to me have you seen it because i ain't seen it okay i have not seen it everybody

need to get ready watch out for these boys um speaking of watching out i got something for you guys to watch out for i'm just throw this out here and if i'm wrong i'm wrong but i'm just throw it out here and give you guys something to consider i got up in the morning and watched the game from uh london it was the browns and it was the vikings it was dilling garynges it was dillinger Gabriel's first start. A friend of the program, who I will not name, Ryan told me that Cleveland fans have been calling Dylan Gabriel, Hawaii 5-9. That's hysterical.

That's amazing. Bravo. Just good quality work. Bravo, right. Whoever came up with that one, I hope you wrote it down. Like, you got to send that to yourself in an envelope. You know what I'm saying? I saw someone on the internet, gave the nickname to a different Cleveland Brown's quarterback

there's prime time and then there's mine time. Yes. I had not seen that. I had not seen that. Now, look, maybe Dillie Gabriel can get better. I don't know. Dillie Gabriel looks like he's playing with his big brother's friends out there. Like, he just doesn't seem like he should be out there playing football.

And what I'm saying to watch out for you is if this is the guy that Shador Sanders can't even get into the conversation with. And look, I understand that there's a possibility that part of why he's, he can't get into the conversation about playing time and all of that. It's because of whatever preconceived notions that the staff has and all of that. Totally gets you, okay? I'm going to just say this, though, looking at the way that Dylan Gabriel looked in that game. Isadora Sanders cannot get himself on the field on a team that Dylan Gabriel plays for.

He needs to lead a practice facility and go to the studio and start rapping. If he doesn't want to rap, you know what? rapping's a little too stereotypical. How about you just go do a podcast? Something. But you're going to need to get on the mic because this young man here is not going to play no whole lot of NFL football.

Like if they're looking at him and looking at you and they're like, it would be preposterous for us to let you play, but they let him play, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you got a long way to go. Like all that talk he had about he's looking around the rest of the league. He knows he's capable of it. I don't know what you got to do to get there

because as of right now, they don't think you are capable of being Dillet Gabriel. And I, if I were you, I wouldn't be talking to nobody either. I wouldn't be a mom. I'd be walking around there, acting like a couple of women I dated, just giving them the silent treatment. Just not saying nothing to nobody. I'd be mad than the motherfucker if you was telling me I can't do that.

And they are saying that loud and clear, and they might be right. All right, I decided to take in some college football this weekend. Just want to throw this out here about the college football right now. I recall with the advent of the playoff, a lot of discussion about whether the playoff would ruin things for college football. And I don't think it has done that. And I have a fairly doom and gloom outlook about a lot of the changes that are happening

or we're called it modernizing whatever it is. But I don't think that the playoff has done anything to like mess up college football necessarily. I still think, and maybe it's just because we're still caught up in like the old, I don't know if I've called it the old ways of doing things, but just what a college football game means. Maybe we're in a time period that is a lag and this will change. But I still find myself very much viewing college football games like one at a time. I personally am not at a place where I think about playoff consequences really ever.

when somebody loses a game, especially not this early. I don't care. So even Penn State, which lost that game to UCLA. Does that eliminate them from the playoff? Yeah, I guess, but you know what else it does? They lost to a team that was 0 and 4. You know what it does. It stinks for them.

Like, that part of it is sufficient enough for me that I don't need to think about this in terms of any, like, long-term consequences. And so it really got me to thinking about, like, what goes on at this time. of year. And I don't know if this is a function of the playoff. I don't know where this comes from.

But I very often feel like this time of year, what is often or should be interesting about it is the teams who win. And what I say the teams who win, you wind up with teams in this, like, at this current time, like, for example, Indiana, which apparently Ryan, last year's Indiana is, I mean, this year's Indiana is Indiana.

That seems to be the case that when Indiana was last year is also Indiana this year. Yeah, I think they're, I mean, they're topped and ranked. They're still, they're doing it somehow, some way. When they put that hurt to Illinois, like, that's the thing. It's not just that they're doing it. They're not just scraping by people. Like, we saw with Vanderbilt and Alabama, for example, over the weekend, they're not big enough.

Right. Like, they just, they didn't know. They all of them will win the way they used to win. They just leaned on people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it was amazing that Vanderbilt played, I thought as good a game as you could ask for Vanderbilt to play. But I was out there.

I'm like, yo, it's amazing you're doing as well as you guys are because you guys just aren't big enough. Right. You're not. Indiana looks like a big 10 team right now. And maybe it'll be different, right? They'll get like they were in the playoff last year where they played against Nordadame and they looked a little bit overwhelmed or whatever.

But this time of year is often, like you go through the top tens, Ohio State, Miami at number two, Oregon. Ole Miss at number four, right? Like that is a team that becomes more interesting because old miss is never at number four. Texas A&M at number five. Wow, I wonder how they're going to wind up getting back down to eight and four. Good gracious, it's going to take hard work.

I'll never put it past them. But you look at teams that are surprisingly good and look at where they are. It's like, oh, wow, I can't believe that team won. They continued to go. This week, I was just fascinated by who lost. And not just like simply by who lost, but how it was that these teams managed to lose and what the kind of consequences were of them losing. Like we could start with that Penn State game. I can't believe they lost that game.

Penn State losing that game, I feel like, and I could be wrong about this. But for a number of reasons, some of them absolutely being James Franklin's fault, I think, that he is a bit of an easy target, and I guess he has racked up that terrible record in those games against, you know, teams in the top 10, top 20, whatever it is, right? But this is a game he never loses. No, that's what I'm saying.

These are the ones he wins. Like, Mac Brown was a guy like that, where you may not win the, it could go either way games, but he's going to win the games that he's supposed to win. Losing a game is a 24-point favorite in college football is almost impossible.

I mean, UCLA got, blown out at the Rose Bowl by New Mexico. I don't think, I saw, I think I saw, I thought they hadn't let all year. I mean, look, I understand that they change coaches and you get a boost or whatever that is, but that's a team that had a, and look, Penn State did not look bad in that game that they lost to Oregon. No. It went to overtime.

They just lost, right? They lost that game. And look, college kids, man, a game like that going to take something out of you. But it never dawned on me that they couldn't come back out here and be. UCLA. And there was a crazy play called. How was that? Like, that's on the coach. And look, that's on the coach, even understanding that there's certain limitations to what it is that the coach can do. But they're, I don't know what anybody would have had to do to win a game to be more interesting than Penn State losing that game. Case in point, Miami looked really good against Florida State.

And they look like, again, Christobal taking the saving formula and applying it at Miami. Oh, okay. And they also. getting fixing Carson Beck from all the struggles he had last year. And, you know, he comes in, and he almost looks like, you know. He looks like the number one pick in the draft. Right. Like, you look around to who the other quarterbacks are. And, you know, I had not seen much of that matured dude that transferred to Oklahoma. Carson Beck in that game looked like a guy that I know what it looks like when you're going to take a guy number one in the draft. Like, the first time I saw Anthony Richardson play in college, I was like, I don't know how good

he is, but I know he's going to make a lot of money. Right. Like, you know what the first round pick looks like. Carson Beck, once again, looks like a first round pick. But that's not as interesting as Franklin taking that L in that game. Or Belichick, my God, they could have scored 80 points against Carolina if they wanted to. Did it feel to you like Daveno just decided we go put the screws to him early just to show them that we can? But I'm Danbo sweaty, man of God. So, you know, I'm going to show some love.

He looked like he was showing, he had to show forgiveness to himself for running up the score. they are so bad. Like what's happening at Carolina, they got so much attention early, and they had playing for this game to get them a lot of attention. But it still did get a lot of attention, I think, because it's, look, yes, it's a noon kick,

but if you're flipping channels at noon, and it's Clemson and Carolina, and you know Belichick's there, and you haven't been watching, hey, let me drop in here and see what's going on. Carolina did not have their starting quarterback, but there's no excuse for them to be this bad. And the only reason that they're this bad

is the reason that I try. I tried to tell y'all was going to be the biggest issue with this team coming into the year, which is talent identification. What did Belichick in at the end in the NFL was he could not properly identify talent. And he made his general manager a guy who was a bad general manager in the NFL. They moved into this whole new world that they don't know anything about. And Ryan and I were reading this article earlier this week where an anonymous group of five head coach. And for those who don't know what we're talking about here, you got your power four conferences, and then the group of five or the other FBS conferences, but they're not

Big 12, Big Ten, SEC, ACC, right? And this dude was talking about how in recruiting, he lost out on a couple of players to North Carolina. And he was like, I'm telling you right now, any school from that level who is competing with us for talent, their teams are all going to be bad. These are like group of five level players. And Ryan, I looked at the depth chart. They're not even young. Like they brought in a lot of these transfers this year. And it's a lot of juniors.

It's a lot of seniors. A lot of redshirt junior, a lot of red. Like this is not a young team. This is not a team that you look at and you're like, oh, they're going to get better and they're going to improve. You're going to look at that too deep. That's a lot of grownups. And I mean, it's not that they're losing.

It's that they're losing. They pay Bill Belichick $10 million. And they can't keep the fans in the stands until the third quarter. No. Let me tell you something about North Carolina football fans. They become North Carolina basketball fans, quick, fast, in a hurry. Like, it happens. And look, the basketball team ain't been making a feel that good lately, but it ain't going to beat this shit. And people criticize, you know, Dion.

But Dion actually got players to come to Colorado, and he turned it around. They were winning. They were winning games. You look in the ACC. See what Fran Brown's doing in Syracuse. Yes. I mean, he comes in there immediately. he gets Ohio State's cast off

and they're throwing the ball around. I mean, you see, like, you tell me that Bill Belichick can't do what Indiana's doing. Right. With a team, as Spencer pointed out, a bunch of dudes from James Madison. From the Sunbelt. Hey, he brought, he brought his old luggage.

He brought his own luggage. It wasn't even Louis, but it's hold, it's hold what you need, right? Now, you mentioned Dion. Dion is it. We don't pay, we're not paying attention to that story anymore over there. But to me, it's, it's, it's much more interesting now.

Now, there are ways that it is like, I don't want to say interesting. Like, Dion was saying that he's got blood clots that are affecting him. I don't, his health has been an issue since he has become a coach, like all the way back to Jackson State. So there are,

it is fair to ask the question about how much longer you expect him to continue to do this job because of how physically, I don't, I almost said, like, that word doesn't feel. right, but his body does not seem to be holding up well, and this is a very stressful job for a man to do. He is no longer coaching his son. Physically and mentally demanding.

Yeah, yeah. It's a lot. You know, like, you're, that's a, like people we always talk about, the stress, college football coaches go through during their schedule, their insane workloads. And that's not for people dealing with blood clots so bad. They're wearing one shoe on the sideline. Right, right. Like, he's in a tough place. But let's say none of that was the case, right?

Let's say that Dionne Sanders is perfectly healthy. This team is not good. This team is probably not going to be one to make a bowl game. One of the points that you're seeing being made a lot about Belichick is teams don't, you don't get time to be bad anymore, right? Like there was a time that Belichick could come in and say that he was overhauled in the program and they can maybe go out here and be two and ten and you give yourself a chance to rebuild and put it together.

and that time wasn't really that long ago. With NIEL and the ability to go get people and get some bread and immediately restock that roster, people ain't waiting that long for you to figure this out. Now, to me, Colorado with Dion becomes interesting because, look, I don't know how anybody else feels about this, but I feel confident that if you give Dion Sanders a budget that is adequate and competitive with his peers,

they're going to have a roster. Right. I don't know who all the people are that are doing the talent identification there who are running his recruiting situation. But Dion Sanders is a closer, and we have seen him close on some big recruits. We know he doesn't like doing the high school thing, but still he's a guy that we feel like

could go in there and get players if they are competitive. Okay. Colorado's not going to fire Dion Sanders. He's been so good for them in so many ways. That will never happen. My question is, Diyan Sanders had a fifth round pick at quarterback last year, receivers that are in the NFL, and Travis Hunter, a generational college football player, how likely is it that he's going to be able to put it together like

that again on one roster? And if he doesn't put it together like that again on one roster, what is Colorado football going to be? Is anybody going to be happy if they are a consistent, call it six or seven win team? Because I got news for you. Colorado consistently winning six or seven games would be pretty good. I know that's not something that anybody would ever be satisfied with, and I know that they cannot continue to be like everybody's favorite Friday night attraction, probably under those circumstances. But that at this point in time, Colorado is a six-win school.

But how does it go with those people after they kind of got spoiled with how this started early? How does it go if they're a four-win team? How much and how well are people A-Wing team? to handle that. And so I had just been thinking all weekend about this, like how interesting it becomes interesting in college football, the losses make you ask more questions

so often and to speak to more things about what's going on. Like you think about this, for example, what was more interesting last year? Ryan Day went in a national championship or Ryan Day losing to Michigan. Ryan, the more than I talk about this, being a college football coach sounds awful as a job. There's no wind that you can get

to make me care about you as much as when you lose. I mean, especially when you lose, and again, losing an empty stadium is even worse. And look, man, these crazy road trips in the Big Ten are going to stake. But your reward for that flight was that you got to play UCLA. I didn't think UCLA was going to win a game this year.

And guess what? They might not win another one, but they beat you. Yikes. Football is back and so is your shot at big wins. With Draft Kings pick six, the official daily fantasy partner of the NFL, your game day instincts can score you real money fast.

He was sentenced to 50 months in prison for prostitution-related offenses. You know, this got global attention for, you know, a variety of salacious reasons. What was your reaction to this news? He thought that he was going to walk out.

out of that courtroom on Friday and go back to be in Ddy. Amazing. A fucking amazing. The most interesting thing to me about O.J. after the acquittal is by every account O.J. Simpson thought that since

he had won the game that he was going to go back to being O.J. Simpson only to be quickly reminded, hey man, these white people think you kill two people. They don't really want you around no more, right? Diddy was scheduling interviews. He really thought he was just going to walk out of jail. And he totally misunderstood that he was clearly overcharged, right? I think we'd all have to agree there. The Deiapel lie that Diddy was in an enormous amount of trouble. This man was on trial for Rico by himself. That perhaps was a sign that maybe just maybe, things had gotten a little

bit out of hand. I just can't believe anybody old power, positive thinking ass would have thought under those circumstances that they were not going to do any time at all. All of them terrible letters that people was writing about you and you thought you weren't going to do any time. No, no, no, big dog. He's going to do that time. And I hope he understands. I mean, Joel talked about this before. There ain't going to be no you get introduced at the grand. and standing ovation sort of situation. I don't, I don't know what room it is that he's going to go into and get this like super reception.

And Ryan, you and I talked about this before we started the show. I don't, if he thinks he's about to get a friendly interview with somebody, I don't know who he's going to get it with. Like maybe, I don't think, I don't think he could get that on drink champs or Joe button on none of them neither. I don't know where you think he's about to go and everybody's been like, hey, come on in, have a seat. Great to see.

People don't. When people do things that are that publicly unseemly, Yes. Which I think is the minimum way that these, like, even at the most forgiving, that what he's charged with can be described as, like, people don't want to be seen, people don't want to be seen with you. People don't want you at your, people don't go to these fancy events in their tuxedo to take pictures with Mr. Freakoff.

No, he might have got away with it if this happened when he was younger, right? Like, I mean, it's like Chris, it's not like the stuff with Chris Brown, never happened, right? But he has found a lane and he naviga, he goes, he plays these big arenas, right? Like, all of these things. Like, he has a huge base there. He's, he's, he's not blacklisted or canceled in any way. Correct. But when people find this out about you in your 50s, they ain't a lot of room for you to be redeemed. You know, like, there's not, like, there's no space for people to be like, okay, no, he'll, that, yes, that happened before. No, dog, like, that's, that's, that's not going to be I just, I'm going to go home and I'm going to do interviews.

The best thing that ever happened to him is that he ain't have to have to go do no interview with nobody. That would have been a disaster. Yeah. All right. And more legal news. Ex-Jet's quarterback, Mark Sanchez, also current Fox Sports commentator, was pepper sprayed and stabbed multiple times during a late-night altercation with a truck driver in downtown Indianapolis this weekend. He was charged with battery with injury, public intoxication, unlawful entry. a vehicle, all misdemeanors.

There's a hearing on Tuesday morning. Bo, your thoughts. All right, so people need to understand the timing of it. Ryan, stay here with me on this time and just to make sure I get this right. So the word it got out on, I guess it was Sunday or some, it was Saturday.

So the incident happened Saturday morning. The word came out, started to come out Saturday. Saturday, okay. Yeah. Because you were supposed to call a game today. Yes, yes. Okay, there we go. That is the time.

So the word gets out on Saturday. that Marce Sanchez has been stabbed. And you know what that means. First, you do the thoughts. Then you do the prayers, right? I mean, there were, yes, Fox was putting out statements. Yeah. Right.

A few people with a little, with a little sizzam on their breath, jumped a little bit too fast, right? Talking about fatherless African-Americans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, they blamed it on black people for stabbing them. But then we got word from the Indianapolis police that Mark Sanchez had been stabbed and arrested, which is a really unfortunate combination of things to be,

get stabbed and get arrested. And then they say they got video of all this that happened, but it's a delivery driver. And what he does is he's 69 years old, and he picks up used cooking oil from places. So he had gone to pick up the used cooking oil from the Marriott in Indianapolis. That sounds like a horrific job.

But he was going to pick it up and something happened. And Mark Sanchez ran up on him for reasons that we don't know. And the way, and the man is 69 years old. We want to say this again. And the way that that man talked about Mark Sanchez coming out of him, it sounded like the police report from an officer involved shoot. He was like, hey man, I don't know what was going on with him. And the way that he was looking at me,

but I realized that it was a life or death situation with Mark Sanchez. So at some point, he sprays Mark Sanchez in the eyes with pepper spray. Put a pen in that thought. Spray Mark Sanchez in the eyes with pepper spray, and that Mark Sanchez wiped it off and kept charging that buddy until he gets buddy on the ground, he starts ruffing them up. And then my man said he had to stab Mark. Sanchez a couple times while he was on the ground, and then he had to stamp him again after he got

him off him. There are pictures that you can find of this 69-year-old man, and all I can say is, I find it highly unlikely that Mark Sanchez will still be charged with misdemeanors when this was over. He fucked that old man up. He, he, he, he came. I will say this about Mark Sanchez, and whatever his future is, I don't have an answer, but I'm going to tell you this. If you are ever caught doing something or hemmed up doing something and people reasonably asked the following question, you think he was smoking dust? If what you've done has made people wonder if you were smoking dust, you ain't coming back from that, brother. Just so you understand that. You are not coming back from that. And I would also say that he got very lucky in the sense things

I learned this weekend, because look, I'm from Texas, okay? And there's a whole range of activities that in Texas, people ain't really readily getting into, and it's like these right here for a very simple reason, which is we'd be shooting people. Now, I was positive that Indiana was a place that would allow you to do a concealed carry, but I went and searched it anyway. Not only can you do concealed carry in Indiana,

you don't even have to get a permit. And Mark Sanchez is lucky that he ran up on the dude who in a life or death situation just goes to his pepper spray and his knife, as opposed to the dude that goes to the tool, because of the way this circumstance is being described, you would have got smoked and he would have got away with it. But instead, he hit you with pepper spray.

Speaking of pepper spray. Ryan, I know you've been anxiously anticipating this since I told you a little bit about what my thoughts were about this. Yeah, I was curious where you're going. And I can't wait to hear. Okay. So pepper spray is like the underhand free throws of self-fills. defense.

As in everyone should use it because it's the most effective. So, so, so here's the thing about underhanded free throws. And it also dawned on me to some of you

are maybe young enough that you don't really know what the story is or underhand free throws. But there was a guy back in the day named Rick Berry. Rick Berry was a very,

very good basketball player. Rick Berry was one of the best white basketball players of all time. And people hate Rick Barry's guts. It is amazing how much people hate Rick Berry.

It is, it is, it's just stunning, right? But anyway, Rick Barry, when he retired from the NBA, was the all-time leading leader in free throw percentage. And he shot free throws underhand. That's also known as shooting free throws granny style. You can look it up on the internet if you have not seen it before, but you will look at the way that those free throws are shot and you will say to yourself, man, I ain't about to do that shit, right? And so there have been a few legendarily poor free throw

shooters over the course of NBA history who are also great players. Two that immediately jump out are Wilts Chamberlain and Shaquille O'Neal. Wiltschamblein tried everything when it came to shooting free throws, including underhand, which as I have read, he was better at shooting free throws underhand than he was any other way. Shaquille O'Neal for all of his free throw struggles, never went to shoot the free throws underhand. And Rick Barry would always make the point that none of these guys to shoot free throws underhand because they're afraid that it will make them look bad

even though it is a truly effective method for shooting free throws. And he always speaks with like a measure of judgment of the guys because they're just afraid that they're going to look bad. And other people will do the same thing and be like, it doesn't matter as long as you make the shots, why you're so worried about looking bad. But if you didn't think that looking bad mattered at all, then you would tell a guy like Tim Duncan,

who at points, was a mere 60% free throw shooter. If you could go from 60 to 80 as a free throw shooter, just by shooting underhand free throws, you should do that, right? But nobody tells the 60% free throw shooter that he should do that. And you know why they never tell him that? Because they know that shit looks ridiculous. You understand what I'm saying? Like deep down inside of you, you know why they don't do that.

You think that you should only shoot underhand free throws literally if nothing else works. And it is because you fundamentally understand that it looks ridiculous. Okay. So let's talk about pepper spray. Ryan, I've never known a man to walk around carrying pepper spray like this gentleman walks around carrying pepper spray. Never known it. But we all acknowledge that pepper spray is an effective deterrent in the face of violence. Why?

Because we view women as defenseless under these circumstances, right? I don't mean to insult or offend anybody, but that's how we talk about women. And we worry when women walk out in the dark and all of these things for good reason, right? And what do we send them out there with? We don't send them out there with guns. We don't send them out there with knives. we send them out there with pepper spray. You yourself feel like you can at least fight.

You don't think that she can fight, but you feel like that pepper spray or that mace will do the job. If it would do the job for her, generally speaking, would it not do the job for a man? Maybe we could cut down on all these guns that cats have on the street because you can protect yourself with this pepper spray, which again, we have acknowledged. we believe is effective.

You know how effective pepper spray is? They send people out on it and hikes to protect them from bears. Correct. But can you imagine what you would say if you found out that your whole boy was out here in these streets, hitting people with pepper spray?

Stay away before I hit you with some mace. We would be so mean to that man. We would be so terrible to that man. Pepper spray is the underhanded free throw of self-defense. We got to say you landed the plane. But seatbelt site was on. I was concerned.

But, you know, we took some, we took some bumps, but you ended it. It is an amazing thought. We should all, why don't we all just walk around with pepper spray? We'd be all right if we all walk to our pepper spray. We're not going to, but we're not going to do that.

Because we ain't about to be. be to, we'd rather get robbed. We'd rather get pistol whipped. We'd rather get our asses kicked than to be like, put him in the face with that pebble. And no one touched me. Yeah, he fell back after that. Now, all of that said, the counter argument

in this case would be, well, this is a one time pepper spray was not so effective. It did not take Mark Sanchez down. Which gets us back to my other. You can stop a bear, but you can't stop Mark Sanchez. Right, which gets me back to the other thing. It's not good when you,

your behavior makes us ask the question. Dale, boy, you've been smoking dust? All right, we're going to shift gears here. The ESPN and the Athletic have reported the Big Ten is discussing a $2 billion deal with private equity. This would include a 10-year extension of the league's grant of rights. Private capital deal and the grant of rights extension have been discussed for months and multiple forms. There is support from nearly the entire league with a few of the biggest brands, including Ohio State and Michigan, still in discussions. They want to get unanimous support before a vote.

Bo, what were your thoughts when you heard this? Remember that time private equity made something better? What else is there to say? Nobody remembers that time that private equity may. Private equity helps private equity. Those are the only people. I can't believe these people are so thirsty for money that they can't acknowledge that very basic point.

This is a mechanism for properties that are in distress. Does the Big Ten look like it's in distress to you? The Big Ten is getting money from Fox, CBS, NBC. They have their own network. Yes. And they could go to these TV places and get more money for their rights at any time. And I mean, they're, and they always have, you know, the break glass case for emergency card of trying to go get Notre Dame. Yes.

And they've already killed off competition other than the SEC in. in so many ways, right? Like they've done this. The problem to me with bringing something like private equity in, and I probably said, if I haven't said this year before, I'm sure I've said it in other places. But the problem is that this is not a profit maximizing industry. People are in this for fun.

Yeah, there's money that needs to be made in order to keep putting money back in in order to keep things competitive. But people owe money on this. People give money away to make this. happened. Private equity is in it to get their money back. This crazy world doesn't work like that. These, the interest of all these things are incompatible.

And then we get back to what I said before. Remember that time, private equity made something better because I don't. And finally, Dave Chappelle made some comments that made news while headlining Saudi Arabia's comedy festival on Saturday. He made some controversial remarks right now. America. They say if you talk about Charlie Kirk, you get canceled. I don't know if that's true, but I'm going to find out. It's easier to talk here than it is in America. Bo, your thoughts. I cannot believe. I can't believe that these super rich people went to Saudi Arabia just to get this check.

Right? Like, you have to understand the way that this is going to undercoat whatever it is that you say about yourself upon your return. Like, am I crazy? I can't be the only person that sees how you're just setting. Like Bill Burr, remember that routine? I don't know if it was a routine, but Bill Burr talked about Beyonce and basically, you know, basically how she's just all in it for the capitalism and everything else. And I'm like, brother, you just did this.

You just, like, you can't, you can't, right? I feel like I'm not making sense because it just feels so obvious that this is such a ridiculous thing. I mean, I sort of get it for people like Lucy. who are, you know, kind of sort of ostracized from popular site. But Dave Chappelle is still selling out arenas. He's still putting out, you know, Netflix specials. Yeah.

And how about this? You could go over there and feel like you could talk about Charlie Kirk and you couldn't talk about Charlie Kirk in America. Okay. You know who you could talk about in America that you can't talk about in Saudi Arabia? The Crown Prince. That's who. What none of them allowed to make no jokes about the government.

over there or to make jokes about the play. That was not on the board. So I feel freer to talk about this that I do in America. Saudi people feel freer to talk about they shit in America than they do over there. What is your point? You see what I mean? Like it's not, you're not going to make me believe. And I have been someone who has no problem being critical of my own country

because I think you earn the right with citizenship to be able to do that. Hey man, you're not going to tell me that they free you over there than you then over here. you're not selling me on this. You're not doing it. And so to go, maybe I need to hear the tone or the routine, right? Maybe I just don't understand what exactly it was. But I was a bit revolted by some of the people that just couldn't pass up that money. All these people who go and talk on and on about free speech and cancel culture going praise the crown prince of Saudi Arabia is just going to leave a poor taste of people's people's people.

And some of you, it's going to interfere with the way you're working. lands because I ain't really trying to hear that shit from. All right, Bo, the voicemail line is open. We got a few good ones. Here's our first. All right, hello. Thank you very much for the pod. First of all, get me through my day sometimes. But Mr. Jones

and Kat, when do you know when do you know it's time? Peace and love. Brother, I got to be honest with you. The biggest way that you know you're ready for New York is if you have received a raise. That's the That's the pick when you talk about coming to New York.

I'd say this about New York too. Ryan, you live here about as long as I have. The thing about New York is don't come up here because you like it. You're not going to stay if you like it. You're not going to stay if you really like it.

You've got to love it. Yeah, you got to be committed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it's a decision. It'll pay off in a whole lot of different ways. But I feel like I've generally left cities when something work-wise

took me to another place, right? Like, I can't pretend like my decisions on when to do those things was really that voluntary about me taking things by the way. I wanted to be in New York when I came here, but it was a lot of circumstances that brought it together. But I do know what it's like when you feel like you've outgrown a city, right? Whereas just like, I can't, can you still do the things that you want to do in that city? Can you achieve the goals that you want to reach while staying in that city, right? Like, does it challenge you? Does it excite you?

Does it make you a better person? Like, what about being in that place makes it good for you? You know, so especially if you're a person with a family, then we're having a different discussion, right? Because you're doing math on a lot of other things. But if you're not, what are you getting from being in that city? And if the thing you're getting primarily out of it is just comfort, then you need to ask yourself, is there someplace that could challenge you a little bit more?

All right, Bo, here's our next one. Hey, Bo. What's up? This is Evan. I'm from Hawaii. I just want to say that I got to ask a question because I currently work in a space where the person who is like the leadership of my organization is someone that feels extremely underqualified to be in their position and not like, oh, they're just kind of maybe not, they didn't hit all the wickets. No, I mean like I've been doing my. my thing for seven years of, you know, active duty, and I'm in a position where I know I'm, like, not the top dog, but I've seen a thing or two. And this person is somehow above everybody, and their experiences basically the equivalent of that of my first two years in the Navy, in the military, and yet they're somehow able to make decisions on people cutting checks. I'm not really sure how far I can go. I'm not going to say names per se,

but let's just say if this person has no haters, then I'm dead. All right. That being said, I've got to ask a meal perspective. Is he asking me if he need to quit his job? How do you do with the terrible boss?

Can you apply for a job somewhere else? Did he say he was in the Navy? Is there another Navy that you can apply to? I'm not sure how that works. they're, you know, secondary navies. No, no, no, but it's a I don't, like, that is always a tough one, though, when you are working for somebody that you

don't respect, basically, whose judgment you're not able to trust. And the only solution is to go find another place to work. Like, what you see is not going to change. Now, unless you want to set up some elaborate plan to get that person fired, which I do not recommend,

you just got to go work somewhere else. All right, Bo, here's our last one. Hey, Bo, this is Greg in Georgia, and we all know, everyone to listen to your show, know that you are a Prince scholar of sorts, and I wanted to ask you, I don't know if you brought this up on your show before, about the Purple Rain musical. I wonder if, I feel like we're in the air that Prince's legacy is being a little bastardized.

So with the Purple Rain musical coming to Broadway, I think this is going to be a flop. But I want to know your take on it if you're even a Broadway person. But the film being translated to the stage, I don't know if it's going to work. Just what you think. Yeah. So the estate does a lot of things that I don't necessarily like.

I think Purple Rain going to Broadway is a reasonable transition and basically in line with the activities of a lot of acts in this fashion. Like there's the Michael Jackson Broadway show, for example. Like, I don't think that the idea of moving this is a bastardization of the legacy. I don't think that.

I'll be like the music will be interesting and how you put, you know, the bands they put together to get all that done. All that's fine. My question is this. When is the last time you guys watch Purple Rain? And the reason I asked when is the last time you watch Purple Rain is that that is a somewhat indefensible script. You know, many of you have probably read about, my buddy Ezra Edelman directed a documentary on prints that was supposed to run on Netflix and a, a significant part of the, I mean, a significant part of the movie, I have not seen it myself, was about Prince being violent toward women.

Jill Jones is an example that immediately jumps out, and the estate put the kibosh on it coming out. And Ezra's thing was he felt like he was humanizing his subject, but more or less, it was an exploration of the man in totality. I understand completely why it is that the estate would not have wanted that to come I'm out, but the only thing I stopped and thought about was, well, goddamn, y'all already made a movie about this and it made him a superstar. Like, we don't really talk about how crazy the idea of a Purple Rain is. It's this guy who writes these songs that nobody likes, except in real life, they are smash hits. But he's got

all this music that nobody likes, except he's got this bad habit because his dad used to beat his mom that he then puts hands on his girl. And then finally, he has one last. He has one last chance where he's about to hit her again. And then she's like, go ahead and hit me, I dare you. And then he decides not to hit her. And then he goes and plays Purple Rain. And that shit is so fire that we completely forget that he had been beating his girl at a whole movie and everything is okay. And everybody dances. Like maybe that's an unfortunate metaphor for how all of this stuff works. But that was what that movie was. It is not hard. It is amazing that it became the movie that he did in terms of pop culture and everything else. Because when you stop at

think about it, what crazy ideas they are putting forth, even though in many cases it is how it works. But there's nothing like heroic or heartwarming at all about that. I am not exactly sure how people want to see that on Broadway. Like, you're basically taking the Tina Turner musical, except it's not the same exact musical, except it's not about her. It's about Ike. Who wants to see that? But ladies and gentlemen, who? It'll be a really hard, hard transition there. Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for joining us here on the right time.
