Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh, yeah, nobody, nobody really cared or knew about it besides me and you and our dads and, like, Mike Chappell, not a local podcast. But, Bruno. Literally every year since I was honestly four years old, my dad, we're going to the combine B. I'd be like, we're invited. I know the guy at the door. I'd be like, oh, my, it's like a drug deal. Not bad for a fat guy. What up, Clubhouse?
Starting point is 00:00:30 Benedict Polizzi. This is Joey Molanaro. And on this week's, these guys, we talk about how the 40-yard dash combine coaches are real dad. We talk about girls at Beer Olympics, where Chris Hogan went to college, in Plexico versus Mountpiece. Let's start the ship.
Starting point is 00:00:47 These guys. T, t-t-T-T-T-T-T-4. I keep getting one ahead. I don't know why I'm looking ahead. He's looking ahead, folks. Got to be who's in front of you? Out the windshield, not the rear view, man. Hindsight's 2020.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Yeah, 174, though. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey now. No jersey. This is kind of, you're like a little and oney right there. What are you talking about? Oh, you couldn't see. I thought that you were just. The blank?
Starting point is 00:01:23 One tour blank on the, on the, on the, on the, on the asphalt. I would. Chris crossing. I don't know if I could. I don't know if I could. The Sincy, oh my, this is a, this is a grail for me. Mm, the fat, the fat shoulders never looks good on a white guy. But I was like, you know what, we're just going to do it.
Starting point is 00:01:43 We're just going to do it. How come this only looks good on Alan Iverson? Mm. Yeah. Fat shoulders, though, that makes me think of having a really baggy cutoff undershirt underneath it, though. Travis Kelsey would do that 1 million percent. Oh, like the mesh CYO jersey
Starting point is 00:02:03 with the wide cut underneath. God, that looked good. Stacked it. Not a bad look. Not a bad look. I just didn't, I couldn't pull off the nothing underneath look. It just felt naked.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Kind of weed kid too. Cold gym, sweaty armpits. Ben's over. You can see his nipples. You're like, I didn't sign up for this. Weird nipples. Yeah, he has a big, he has that like indentation in the middle of his chest. You're like, I didn't, I didn't know you had that.
Starting point is 00:02:34 You know, the first time your team goes skins, you're like, didn't know you looked like that. Nipples always a little bit puffy. I'm like, you have big nipples? Jake? You have big nipples like that? That's so crazy. It's such a weird moment. First time you go shirts and skins.
Starting point is 00:02:53 I'm like, yo. Okay, body. Kind of self-conscious. Yeah. Oh, for sure. Mm-hmm. I'll never forget, dude. My,
Starting point is 00:03:07 uh, let's see. I would think, not reminiscent of, but I was in fifth grade. And we had a Sunday night practice, and I just remember it was like November, probably just left watching, like the Chiefs Broncos up 425,
Starting point is 00:03:22 for a Sunday night practice randomly all of a sudden. Mm-hmm. And I, And I had to start off. I was already like a little bit nervous. I don't know. You're like going through puberty and whatnot. And I had to start in skins.
Starting point is 00:03:36 And I was already, my armpits were already so sweaty. And Jack Andrews like walked by me and somehow his elbow like hit my underarm. Not even my arm pit. My underarm, dude. And legitimately I saw him look back at me. and wipe his elbow because my, my underarm was so sweaty. Thank God he didn't say anything out loud, dude. Sometimes you just got to respect that.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Like, hey, hey, don't, don't. The girls' volleyball teams outside, don't, yeah. Jack was one of the cool, was one of the cooler, cool, cooler, older guys. He was cool. You would have said something for sure. I don't know. It depended on the day.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Depending on who you were trying to impress who was around. you would have said something. But then there were a lot of times you'd have been like, I got you. It's all good. Yeah. But then,
Starting point is 00:04:34 you know, you rub up against the wrong upper classman. The fuck, Sammy sweats? Mm-hmm. There's always the guy in your basketball team that's so sweaty in eighth grade.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Couldn't guard Drew, actually. Couldn't guard him. Not because he had like, banging post moves. I'm like, I'm just slipping off you, dog.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Like, I got no bar arm for your back. Like, I got no, I got nothing. I just got to do this. Never been more, less helpful in the post. Two hands up.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I'm like, that's all I can do right now. Okay. Just verticality, baby. Just Roy, hip bit. Roy hip bit. Yeah, I was always real self-conscious when we had to take our shirts off. And I was going through that point in puberty when just one of my nipples looked like it had a pencil eraser in it. I was like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:23 What's the deal with that? Yeah, just one. Why not? Give me both. That's what I was saying. What's the deal with? with the big nipples. What's the deal with the swollen nipples?
Starting point is 00:05:33 Why does that happen? I don't know. Like, we don't talk about that enough, that part of puberty. I'm like, the voice thing, yeah, that's obvious. But I'm like, please don't touch my chest because you're going to be like, is there a magnet under your shirt? The voice, the hair in different places, right? Like the sweat, you kind of get the sweat a little bit. That can check out.
Starting point is 00:05:57 It makes sense. A lot going on. The nipples, though? Is that just one of those things? I know you had a bit about that with God. Like, is that just like some sick joke that he's just like, ha ha ha ha. Oh, and by the way, you're going to have fat, swollen nipples.
Starting point is 00:06:12 You're going to have a Lego man head and your right nipple for two years. I was asking my mom. I was like, yo. And she's like, do I need to go to the doctor? I don't know. Didn't. No, I didn't. Nobody would give me an answer.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Nobody. I was like, Jesus Christ, what do we got to do around here? it is one of those it's one of those weird points in your life or like you have so many questions but you don't want to ask anybody anything even your parents you're like definitely not asking my dad that like he hell no it's so scary like what would he even respond with like i don't even want to know you know i'm like you know you
Starting point is 00:06:54 like luckily i had an uncle that was like four years older in me i was like should i ask him Like maybe he could relay? I don't know. Is Curtis Reeser? Could he like level with me on this? I don't know. I was always the oldest. Like I looked like this in seventh grade.
Starting point is 00:07:08 So I was like, nobody's even touching my like, my puberty level right now should be like, you know what I mean? Like I had armpit hair when I was in like fourth grade. I was like this sucks, dude. Yeah. I feel like I'm a camp counselor or something.
Starting point is 00:07:23 I'm like, I'm shaving my pits till I see some more armpit hair around here until the coast is clear. it must just be something about Italians or something because I was the same way yeah sixth grade got a mustache what's up yeah
Starting point is 00:07:37 I'll never forget the first day I shaved before basketball practice in like fifth grade or yeah yeah it was pro bowl weekend we were practicing at St. Jude I kind of like feeling my little with my tongue I was like whatever though Trail Davis is playing tonight we're good
Starting point is 00:07:55 did you start did you start with the just the electrical or did you go full on? No, I didn't have it on my cheeks which is like a cool place to have facial hair like in middle school if you got like something like this starting out here.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I just had it right here. I just had like a goatee in seventh grade. See, I think that's way cooler, dude. I was like, I still like goat farm just like patches everywhere. Yeah, you know. Try it in high school. would be like sunny sideburns and what?
Starting point is 00:08:29 Come on. I was, I always wanted the sideburns, bro. You already know. The minute I could grow sideburns. Do you feel like a man? Right there. No, but I stole my dad's Mach 3 turbo,
Starting point is 00:08:45 the one that vibrates. Stole out of his like a bathroom bag or whatever, travel bag. Just hit it a couple times. I might even hit it with a razor on the back. You know, there's one on the back, just the single razor.
Starting point is 00:08:57 there. I was like, bang, bang, bang. Yeah, JV style. Oh, good. Felt way more secure, not having a mustache for sixth grade. God, there's so many ways where you go with this, but I don't, I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to,
Starting point is 00:09:13 I don't want to go down that road for the clubhouse. Yeah. Not going to make it back for the combine, huh? Oh, that's like now. That's like, yeah. O linemen are running right now. That'd be a combine. races are bouncing.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yep. Talk about the big nips, man. Those things are popping. Hey, same speed that I ran my 40 in high school. Isn't that like kind of a relief? When you see like the fastest lineman, you're like, well, I ran that when I was a sophomore. So we're good. We're still good.
Starting point is 00:09:46 We still got it. No. I feel the opposite. I'm like, oh, they're making fun of how slow this guy is. And also, he's three times my size. and he's the same speed as I am. But when the quarterbacks get to run in five twos, I'm like, all right,
Starting point is 00:10:02 doesn't feel too bad. You got a quarterback running a five two. Guy's got a, he's got to read defenses pretty quick. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I don't like it when the DVs do anything. When the DBs and receiver,
Starting point is 00:10:16 God, how bad I want to go through that gauntlet, though? When there's throwing balls at you left and right, it's that first one that gets me. Then they go? Yeah. Yeah. See, I want to be the guy throwing it at them. I think that would be fun. That'd be great.
Starting point is 00:10:32 God, that's such a, yeah, that's such an art podcast thing to say. I don't want to do the drill, actually. You guys can have the drill. I want to throw it. The last guy, then they catch it and turn it up field. I'm like, ew. I wouldn't be the guy throwing at like halfway in between, you know, so I can just throw it before their head is even turn.
Starting point is 00:10:55 turned around. Yeah. Hey, adjust. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And then you need to be, you need to be coach Rocco, the get up field guy. I love, I love that coach to the combine.
Starting point is 00:11:07 That's it. Just get up field. Foot in the ground, north south. Every time. Every time he's right there. Yep. Point. I would, I honestly, I think that's, that is my destiny to be that coach.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Or like the, the reps guy during the bench. God dang The slaps right here Oh my God Put me in the game I was close to their face While they're benching Dude I was close to being a combine
Starting point is 00:11:36 Coach guy Destiny Sometimes I think you miss it Sometimes I think you do Sometimes You mean every day I wake up This is so funny that They got to like
Starting point is 00:11:53 You know A coach has to travel for that gig. Just so many coffees, hotel, just up and at them. You know, coaches, bro. Scop! Can you even imagine? Them arriving to the facility?
Starting point is 00:12:10 Oh, we're done? Like, his wife trying to schedule a weekend getaway or something going on, make plans for them, Combine Weekend. Honey, oh my God, I forgot you have to go to Indianapolis and tell people to get their foot in the group. round for five days in a row. You have to go there and tell him to get north-south.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Yeah, you have to tell him not to have false steps. The 40 guy? The 40 guy? Hey, I'm like, this guy's got feedback for everybody. Oh, is it the Steelers coach? Oh, that's hard, bro. That is so, I would want to get like his autograph more than any other player. Hey, he was always, he was always wearing like the khaki Steelers hat right there on the chair right
Starting point is 00:12:58 next to him. You know it's an older guy that doesn't look fast at all? Oh, that's who I want to listen to. Just the wisest 40 guy. Oh, my God. That's something that you watch every year when they're doing the 40 and you're like kind of on the edge of your seat because you're waiting for them
Starting point is 00:13:16 to go and the slightest little feel so bad for him sometimes. I'm like, God, come on. And it's so quiet in there and you can like hear kind of what he's saying to him, you know? Hey, so just going to take two deep breaths, hold it. Two deep breaths, hold, and then go. Fire off low.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Head up at the last second. Last second. Big strides. Big strides. Let's go. I'm like, that is so calm. I need that guy next to me when I'm about to fall asleep. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 00:13:48 We're going to close our eyes. We're going to put something over our head. Hey, say your prayers if you don't. Say your prayers. I need that. Yeah, dude. You need the guy for everything. I think his name's like,
Starting point is 00:13:59 I think he's name's like Mark Gorsuch Not too sure I think his name Saw him walking into the eagle A handful of years ago During Combine Week I was like I pledge allegiance to him
Starting point is 00:14:17 Your wife's like Really literally I like That was the first thing I was like How would I even begin to explain to Riley Who that is and why I care And why he's so important he's the guy that I've watched every third week in February since I was in fifth grade on NFL network.
Starting point is 00:14:41 You think he critiques everything? You got to shake his hand. He's like, now give me firm. Give me elbow tucked. Hold. Hold for three. Two. Hold for three.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Shake and rough. We're good. Clean. Every single thing. Wow. God, I love that guy. The thing I really want to do at the Combine, if I could,
Starting point is 00:15:02 would be to be one of those quarterbacks that's gonna be like a fifth round pick and just throw that bomb post route to like the number one Mel's best available receiver. There it is. And you know they like climb up the board a little bit from those. Nobody knows who he is.
Starting point is 00:15:19 And then some number one receiver is catching a bomb from like, wait, who threw that? Yeah. And sometimes don't they have like random QBs in there that aren't even about to get drafted? Aren't that like I feel like that might be the case Like is J.P. Lousman throwing him a ball right now?
Starting point is 00:15:42 Dude, can we talk about The Combine gear for a second? Well, you can talk about that for the next 15 episodes. Kid me? It is like the evolution. I just need to find a nice, I just need to find a nice middle ground. I need him to find a nice middle ground
Starting point is 00:15:59 because you look back at the tape of like when Big Ben and Aaron Rogers and Marshaun Lynch and that era when it was at the RCA dome still. Yeah. And it was kind of an underground event. Oh, yeah. Nobody really cared or knew about it besides me and you and our dads and like Mike Chappell, not a local podcast. But Bruno.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Literally every year since I was honestly four years old, my dad. We're going to the combine B. I'd be like, we're invited? I know the guy at the door. I'd be like, oh my. It's like a drug deal to go to the combine. I'm like, dude, I wanted to watch Thai streets run the 40s so bad. Yeah, it happened.
Starting point is 00:16:46 That name. Thai streets. Come on, yo. What should be a name on? But can't be a normal guy with that name. Oh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, Not the equipment, the apparel. I liked the style of that apparel to RCA a dome in like 0405.
Starting point is 00:17:10 I thought that was like, yeah, it fits like football workout. You can tell, but like the colors. A little too baggy. What was it? What was it? It was like, it was just like Nike dry fit. Like first era. Yeah, but like it was real loose baggy shirt.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Real loose shorts. That was the style dry fit. Hey, hey, hey, hey, guitar pick NFL logo. On one pack. and like 17 on the other like your combine number or whatever oh yeah QB 17 you know whatever it was the things I do for that yeah hey big Ben don't want your don't want your game worn in jersey how about that QB 23 04 combine shirt but you did have got that in the closet real in yeah oh my god hey weren't that at LA fitness about to do about to do four reps of 185

Starting point is 00:18:29 Before the Nike vapors in 2010 Which is the best cleat ever Speed D 3-4. Was the one that Calvin Johnson wore? I don't know. I don't know. I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Dude, my phone's recording, but I need you to look up Calvin Johnson. Need you to look up Calvin Johnson and Combine 40. Let me handle it. Let me handle it. Okay, okay. I've been wanting to look this up my whole life. This might be the sweet spot of the of the gear too, because it's fitting well. Like it looks good on them.
Starting point is 00:19:06 But the colors are neutral. Oh, oh, dude, I had those cleats. Wait, was he 23 in the combine? He was. Oh, my God. Those are, those were the hardest clites had ever came out. Oh, God, they're beautiful, dude. Just, man, you, if you saw a guy wearing those low cuts like that, you're like, he's running a 4-2.
Starting point is 00:19:33 He's the fastest player on the field. I got to look up in there. of these three. Those are so money, dude. My biggest regret in high school football is not getting the black and royal blue ones. And, all right, what are you saying? We're back. We're back.
Starting point is 00:19:55 I was saying the way I probably should dress my full Michael Myers costume and mask and just go to Lucas Oil this week and just stand to the top of the stairs. Okay, we see a couple scouts. Is that? Hold on. Who's? Who? okay, okay, we see.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Who are a couple coaches? Who's a Rams coach? Sean McVey here in Indianapolis. Oh, and there he is Jim Harbaugh. Oh, boy. Wow, Shane Steichen. Just walks out to his backyard, watches the 40, and who is standing next to him?
Starting point is 00:20:39 Hey, you, Michael Myers mask, literally a huge ass knife in your hand, stop watch around your neck. Butcher's knife. Oh my God. You should actually be chasing after the people running the 40. We have a new feature this year. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:57 For the O-Linman to pick it up a little bit. You got a surprise guest, just you and Michael Myers costume. Stop, big boys. They'd still beat my ass. By the third one, you're just cast. Dude, but you could do it the way that actually, like the Michael Myers challenge where I don't run, but I just walk like Michael Myers
Starting point is 00:21:19 and they're like trying to get away from me. You know? At the end of the 40, they have to stop and like unlock something kind of like they're unlocking a door to get into the house. Eisen. Okay. Let's see how they handle under pressure.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Oh, dude, or I could do it. I could do it to Eisen because he does that run, rich run thing. running after Eisen now we're talking That would be so sick Just you behind him I love the idea of like Rich Eisen

Starting point is 00:24:03 That's good. Kids just paralyzed with fear. Just all his life. My dad is kind of a goofball. No, what would happen, though, is that they would just grow up like that. And so they would love that shit. They wouldn't be afraid of anything. But then, like, their friends would come over and they're like eight years old.
Starting point is 00:24:20 And they'd be like, check this out that my dad has. Dad, do the thing. I need to go do whatever that thing is. And then that kid would. that's the kid that would turn you in. Always weirded out by those kids growing up that, like, weren't scared of the scariest stuff. I'm like,

Starting point is 00:26:31 B, dude. It's so funny. All right, let's get to Clubhouse here. Team of these guys at Gmail.com. Let's go to Spencer. Old guys talking ball. Fellows, longtime listener, second time emailer. I was recently on a plane seated next to an older gentleman, probably pushing 70.
Starting point is 00:26:49 We were flying to Philly, so naturally we started talking about the Eagles. He was talking about A.J. Brown and referred to him as a flanker. I haven't heard that tournament so long. What are some other dead giveways that signal that dude is old? Here's some examples. Calling receiver a flanker or split end, calling any non-grass surface astroturf. referring to a corner route as a flag route or a curl as a button hook
Starting point is 00:27:14 and a reverse as an end around hates all the legs with a passion anyways I appreciate the laughs you guys bring us all at the clubhouse each week smack my ass with a game worn Ben Jarvis Green Ellis jersey when he rushed for 136 yards against the Jets in 2011
Starting point is 00:27:29 Spencer sent from my friend's family computer that I somehow logged into and probably crashed from looking at porn Yep And or lime wire You get on that weird profile You know Windows computers
Starting point is 00:27:45 You used to have like three profiles on it It'd be like your homies Be like mom and their sister or something You get on their sisters and just wreck that whole entire He's like what the I was always so jealous of those computers I'm like wow you have your own like interface My God
Starting point is 00:28:03 It was always like MSN Or like SBC Global that was my email I was proud of that nobody else had it though I was like we're poor never mind I'm like
Starting point is 00:28:15 can I can I just get aOL.com like can we do anything the people that had a hot mail I was like you're so you're actually hot for that hottest girls had at hotmail.com I'd be like how'd you get that okay rebel horse chick
Starting point is 00:28:30 73 at hot hey what's your email at BJP 020 at SBC global.com. Oh. Maybe like what? I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:43 We just got D.S.L like last year. Just chill. The clubhouse who's like 26 and younger is like, okay, now they've lost me. I was with them on the combine, but SBC and DSL. Bro said D.S.L.
Starting point is 00:29:00 He's talking about internet. When DSL is around that, man. DIC. Crazy. Okay. Yeah, flanker, man. Flanker cracks me up. Yeah, he plays out there.
Starting point is 00:29:18 He plays slot back. I was going to say you could say halfback, tailback, anything that's other than running back. Tailback sounds cool, though, bro. Sometimes when people say tailback, I'm like, oh, he's fast. Tailback, you're like, he's number 28, and he's taking a lot of sweeps to the house. Sweeps. Exactly. there's another one

Starting point is 00:30:12 Any guy who hates launch angle What is that? It's like the fad, the way now where everybody's swinging up on the ball because they're trying to get the launch angle off the bat to try to hit home runs.

Starting point is 00:33:30 how it was for different communities in the clubhouse. So way in, but where we grew up, I know, but like where we grew up, like, you know, on like a Friday night or a Saturday night, let's say like the fall, like someone's family would have a big, I don't know, harvest get together or like a Notre Dame watch party or like after the high school football game on a Friday night, people would just be like, yeah, we're going over to the. And so everybody would go over there. and the greens
Starting point is 00:34:00 go to the Gillums okay and I just remember like the dads of course so I would just be like because the girls would never be there they'd always be at some other chick's house you know
Starting point is 00:34:13 or and it'd be a situation like that and you'd be like on AIM and you'd be in a room talking to them or something and the dad would come in and be like what you do? Why don't you just get out and talk to them? Oh my God. You got to do this.
Starting point is 00:34:27 online stuff. Why'd just go talk to him? Four beers deep. Hair slick to the side. Any dad or guy who would say that. And I was just like, dude, you didn't have any AIM back in the day, all right? Like, what do you want me to do? You want me to get on a bike and go over there?
Starting point is 00:34:48 This is it now, babe. This is it now, Mr. Bauer. Yeah, but then like the first thing, yeah, you know, you like try to make something. What am I going to do? Ask you if they can come over. Like, that'll ever happen. Yeah. I got to sneak out to their house.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I'm working with what I got here. This is the new wave. Get on my bike. Let me drop off some newspapers on the way to her house. You guys doing all of this. You just go talk to it. When I was your age, hey, we didn't care.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I'd steal my dad 72 for tourists. And we would just go across the street that bad boy and talk to him. You were 12 and you legally drove a car. There weren't rules back then, bro. You were probably drunk too, right? Yeah, okay. That's when pilots smoked cigarettes in the cockpit of an airplane.
Starting point is 00:35:55 This is a little bit different time. Good Lord. You could literally smoke inside of an Applebee's. Cigarettes. anywhere. So yeah, I'm going to let my big pimping soundboard pop up here when Carcy IMs me, okay? Just I got my, I got it handled, all right. So, sup, what you got, biotch.

Starting point is 00:36:49 You, like, kind of didn't remember it. We might have had different versions of AIM. Because I think I had AIM like 3.0 and everybody else in the world had like AIM 15.0. So I was like 12 versions behind, like just trying to make it. I don't know. You go to your homie's house His AIM His AIM's completely different
Starting point is 00:37:12 Than your setup You're like, okay, whoops The Galvanakis GIF, everything's going across everywhere How do I figure this out? You got tabs on your AIM You can talk to like three people at once In one window?
Starting point is 00:37:27 Okay, Danny Allen In your room? AIM in your room? Yeah, that's insane. You get away with murder in there. Even I was like, and this is dope,
Starting point is 00:37:41 but like, your parents kind of messing up here a little bit. How do they not know? They trust you, bro. Like, I didn't even think I like it, but I don't think I agree with it,
Starting point is 00:37:54 you know. Yeah, yeah. If it's in the basement, then that's one thing, you know, basement or a lot of, like,
Starting point is 00:38:03 okay. Room? But the room? On a Tuesday night and a TV in there. Sports center and AIM. I'm like, are you 25? Yeah, guess you're in college. Guess this is the best setup I've ever seen in my entire life.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Guess you're in college. What time's your first class tomorrow, bro? What semester is it in your house? Dude, that's okay. I always knew. I always knew. It was always the kids who had that set up and I would be like, damn, I know they're hitting up my girl right now. I know they're hitting up my girl right now
Starting point is 00:38:42 on a Tuesday night. Yes. Because I'm sitting here just trying to like have angels in the outfield dialed up on my VHS. That's the only thing that I have available to me. No cable or anything in my room. Computer, yeah, right. I know Johnny Slifka is hitting her up right now, bro.
Starting point is 00:38:59 It's always the kid with a broken home. That's the computer. in his room. Full high-speed internet. Hasn't seen his dad months. Got to do something. All right, from Michael, Genslow the podcast. I was thinking of this.
Starting point is 00:39:21 One of here takes. Field Day and School, greatest day of the year? What if there was an adult version of Field Day where you could non-athlete division do a sports decathlon versus your buddies? 50-yard dash, three-legged race, kickball, home-run derby,
Starting point is 00:39:34 soccer penalty shootout, frisbee golf, actual golf, three-point competition, Max bench cornhole eating contest. What would you put into it? Thanks, boys. Have great week. Thanks, Michael. That was for what?
Starting point is 00:39:47 I was still thinking about Johnny Slifka at the beginning of that. He's talking about field day and how's the best day of the year in school. I can't believe we all had it. Like I would try to talk to different like of my friends about field day. And I'd be like they didn't have that though. Like we're the only ones that had field day, I thought. But like everybody had that We had one field day
Starting point is 00:40:13 I'll never forget I still think about it And we just It was amazing But competitions that I would have In field day I was cool For adult version
Starting point is 00:40:24 For an adult version Oh That'd be tough Yeah I mean you gotta have Some more drinking ones It's pretty much Field Day for adults

Starting point is 00:40:42 Like, the amount of times I've been invited to a beer Olympics and just been like, yeah, that just seems like a little too much for me, man. You know? Totally. Case race this Saturday. I'm like, sounds hype. Like, the invite's always pretty lit, but I'm like, I just can't do it, man. The second I hear beer Olympics, all I think about is me puking in someone's yard and people
Starting point is 00:41:05 yelling at me. That's, that's all I think about. And that's what's going to happen. And to your point, it's not, I'm not like against it because I'm like, yeah, dude, if you get on a perfect day where it's like 64, 65, sunny March, you know, everybody's just like taking their clothes off, whatever, who cares? Beer Olympics, you're outside, messed up table. Let's go. Yeah. Sounds great.

I thought about that today and I was like, yeah, that video was kind of good. Yeah, so I just, I just steered clear, but that just made me think of that. Post it.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Yeah, there's got to be more drinking games, Michael. Like, there's a day. I like where you're going, but if you did all this, like if you did all of this and you invited a bunch of people and all your friends, Everybody'd be like, where's the booze?
Starting point is 00:43:11 I know, it's sad. You can't do anything without it. Just what it is. Yeah. Eating contest may not be into that, but the rest of the day wouldn't go well. You get some people that would be really excited for like the first two. And by the time you got to game four,
Starting point is 00:43:30 like girls would just be looking at their phone. They try to be planning an exit. What are we in? You're anxious. Right. lot of that. This is literally like it's just taking forever. I don't know. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:44:52 God forbid. You didn't see that. You didn't think there were going to be people here. Too many people for you? Jesus Christ. Suck it up. Are we getting a policy minute here? Start the clock.
Starting point is 00:45:08 No, I'm just getting. Oh, shit. No, but I know there's more like five people. So, you know, a girl brings her friend that is somehow not as connected to the group and then she's pissed at that friend's there. Just, she's crying. Why even try? Just, it's just, sorry, Michael to poo-poo the idea. But, I mean, we've just seen it too many times, man.
Starting point is 00:45:39 You see it too many times. My friend's like crying. Oh my lord. About what? It's like not about this. Not the time to cry. But you're like, she's kind of baking it about this.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Yeah. We're literally, she's my partner for this game. Like, she can't play, okay, you're going to have to, babe,
Starting point is 00:46:07 you're going to wipe the tears and play dizzy bat, all right? Can't win this damn competition by myself. From, from Brian. Plexigal Berris Plexigal Burris's mouthpiece
Starting point is 00:46:26 Oh yeah, dude Oh my God, I've been waiting for this I saw this email It took everything for me not to read this Hey guys, long time first time Love the show growing up Steelers fan Am I the only one that noticed A Plaquesco Berris had his mouthpiece
Starting point is 00:46:41 somehow attached to his chin strap hanging straight down instead of looped around his face mask That was a cool thing ever that never caught on way cooler than McNabb leaving one chin strap unbuckled or Camara's turf tape. You know, I'd agree with that.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Made me wonder if you guys think of any other cool equipment or gear alterations that somebody rocked but never caught on. Slop my ass with Cordell Stewart, Jersey from the Steelers helmet jersey pants box set I got from Christmas while I put a thousand yards of offense on rookie mode versus NFL Europe teams on Mad No3.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Sent for my Samsung Galaxy and he's got that up. He's got it attached, baby. Oh, God. Plax and the Blacks and the Blachs. black and gold, man. Just talk to me. I loved that.
Starting point is 00:47:22 He was the coolest looking receiver ever. Just the single bar helmet. Yeah, pure wide out. Wide out. There's another old one. Oh, you're like, dude, you don't even, he almost didn't even need to wear a helmet because I was like, you're either catching a bomb or house in it. Or you're like, there's no in between.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Plexgo Burris, like, running an open field. It's like a beautiful. It's like watching a stallion run and like on a farm. Yeah. Oh my God, he's gone. Everybody thought, I thought Martavis Bryant was going to be like the second coming of Plexgo Burris for sure. I thought he was going to be a second coming of Randy Moss. God, I know.
Starting point is 00:48:02 I didn't want to think like too highly of him, though. So I knocked him down to Plexgo Burris level. I know you got 10 of these. Thanks for the email, Brian. Glad to have you. Hold on. God, dang. And I ate the sour gummy.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Yeah. Plexico Burris so Michigan State. God, that looks so good, man. A little overcast, the lights on the helmet. Like, that's just so Steelers football right there. Mm-hmm. Football. God, the great.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Those unies, too. Hey, what number was Plexcoa Burs at Michigan State? I know. I know Detroit Clubhouse is screaming right now. Ooh, that is a good one. Maybe four? Four. I feel like maybe like 17.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Four. No way. Yeah. I was going to say maybe he went to 17 with New York because he was 17 in college. But wow, dude, a four Michigan State. Those Michigan State uniforms with the crazy designs on the shoulder. Oh, God. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:04 The new ones are insane. When he was there, oh, he looked better at Michigan State. Dude, that's the one that had like kind of the small M, the big S and the smaller U. Like, one of their alternate logos. am I mixing that up? From back in the day, Michigan State always just had Michigan State across their chest like big font
Starting point is 00:49:27 Super Michigan State font But he had the like three bar Like dude when tall like slender athletic basketball player receivers Had the Randy Moss face mask You know there's something so hard about that Yeah I'm like you got no business having like a strong safety face mask
Starting point is 00:49:44 But that goes so hard Um Plax, Burris, Michigan State, Jersey. Number four, that would be insane. That's one of those right there. We ever do with these guys live in Michigan, that's what I'm getting. You'll go big blue. I'll go, go green.
Starting point is 00:50:03 That is cold. God, Michigan State's just the coolest school that can just never really do it. I love them. Always. It's every picture of a Michigan State game, just overcast. But okay. Plexgo Burris, yeah, I always thought about that mouthpiece too. I was like, is no one going to talk about that?
Starting point is 00:50:23 I think we've talked about it before that he just put it in his chin strap. So weird. Dangled so low, man. It was always dangling around. Nobody else did it. Just always wondered why. The Alvin Camara turf tape is, I don't know, man. That's kind of a legendary iconic statement.
Starting point is 00:50:44 because dude he had everybody he had eighth graders he had everybody putting tape all the way up here from their dealt to their wrist it looks so sick still um what else
Starting point is 00:50:58 Cory Dylan cut off gloves on his fingers that was pretty cool that no one did that I feel like not as many people caught on with the or maybe it's just out of respect like people not as many people did the Sean Taylor tape around the face mask everywhere. I feel like that's something that, you know,
Starting point is 00:51:19 unfortunately, if he wouldn't have passed, I feel like people just would have done that like crazy. But because he did, I feel people are kind of like, you can't touch, like that's Sean Taylor's. You can't touch that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:30 I saw a couple dudes do it out of football camp I went to and it was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. Like, I'm like, I don't know. I just can't rock that. Like, I'm going to get made fun of so bad. Oh, for sure. But at like a summer football camp like whatever
Starting point is 00:51:45 you know yeah it was a black face mask black helmet with white tape visor I was like dog that is cold but I think you couldn't do it in games because people were getting in trouble for it like refs are all over that hey not a local podcast
Starting point is 00:52:04 Aaron Evans double Nike's double Nike socks big time big time aura right there I did did it because Aaron did it. Had to. I thought about the other day. I was like, if I would play varsity basketball, would I have done that?
Starting point is 00:52:21 I had to. That was like, my parents were like, you need this many Nike elite socks. I got to wear four a game. And we're two and two. Have the swooshes flying underneath each other. Yeah, flip it inside out. Hmm. High school drip, dude.
Starting point is 00:52:38 I'm trying to think of another, another little secret swag moment. Tyron Matthew doing the short undershirt wristband wristband wristband
Starting point is 00:52:58 wristband and then what's his name the strong the safety for the he was he played for the jets
Starting point is 00:53:10 and he was nasty he went to LSU all the LSU no no no him too but Jamal Adams
Starting point is 00:53:18 crazy arm bands Adams had that shit on. God dang. When he played for the Jets, bro, his Instagram, I used to go to that and just be like, the all white jets with all the white band. Oh,
Starting point is 00:53:32 it was so cool. 33. Oh. Hey. Oh my God. Guy, it's not afraid to come downhill and clean stuff up in the box. Hey, his,
Starting point is 00:53:45 I'll never read his draft report either. He was projected to be like a day. The eighth pick and the draft and the Jets were picking. I forget where he got picked, honestly, but the Jets were picking like three, three. And they're like, hey, we know all the projections are saying you're like late first round, whatever, not top 10, but we want you. And they just grabbed them at three.
Starting point is 00:54:07 I'm like, that has to feel so good. A safety at three. That's a linebacker. When the Seahawks moved him to linebacker, I'm like, yo, is that the smartest thing I've ever heard of in my entire life? but also that it was kind of like I don't know I might start to
Starting point is 00:54:23 this might be the end here yeah yeah yeah like guy gets guy's not as fast as you used to be just move them down a level like that's what we're doing yeah seeing that with Jalen Ramsey right now brought in to defend Jamar Chase
Starting point is 00:54:37 ends up being a box safety by the end of the year okay next year outside linebacker next year a new Patrick Queen what that left me just with a big good Okay
Starting point is 00:54:49 Not the cohort we thought he would be Yeah Calling people on teams Coorts Got a couple new cohorts In the offseason I don't even play for him Yeah
Starting point is 00:55:06 But he's my cohort It's from Tom Says Bears Zedrus Peterson From Tom Zivikowski at SBCglovel.com Go ahead
Starting point is 00:55:18 No he did know his would be like Zibi 0909. Zibby Fight Club 09, yeah. First time emailer here with Purdue IU the other day, I was thinking, Purdue is NFC and IU is AFC. IU is Western Conference. Purdue is Eastern. Purdue is American League. I use National League.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Tom. Sent from my Xbox 360 Connect. He said IU is AFC? Yeah. Yeah, they are. Hey, not a local podcast, Tom, but I think you just nailed it right there, my man. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:56:01 I wouldn't mind that NFC, AFC, every single week from somebody. Just I could do it forever. It's a language. Somebody or us, I mean, it, sometimes I'll go back to that post that we had. Like, people are still, and, like, I'll just see, like, three new ones. I'm like, how do people come up with these? I watch it three times today. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Interesting on the IU Western Conference, Purdue, Eastern. Yeah. Because in my mind, I don't know why, but Purdue's kind of given me like Minnesota Timberwolves, and they're randomly Western. Nah, for sure. If you're NFC, you're automatically Western Conference. There's not a lot of crossovers. Yeah, yeah. Maybe not any.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Yeah, because I'd say that's fair. Like Alabama is NFC. Ohio State is AFC Ohio State also Eastern Conference Alabama Alabama's like the Spurge Weirdly Western Conference Yeah
Starting point is 00:57:08 Yeah this is I think Purdue American League IU National League is like That's essentially like cup socks God I see I don't know about that life That makes a lot of sense Appreciate you waiting in there Tom
Starting point is 00:57:27 Thanks you email back anytime I feel like I've been waiting years for you to say that Waying in, shut up Don't, but don't, but don't, but don't ever shut up This is from Andy Deshawn Jackson's punt return against Tennessee God Hey guys, as an Indiana native living in New York City
Starting point is 00:57:56 Working on Youth Sports, last year's Nick's Paster Series was two weeks of stress, also jubilation. Even though I'm 30, getting shit talk from teenagers I work with unlocked a part of me that felt like I was in middle school again. My question is,
Starting point is 00:58:08 do you actually hate your least favorite team or do you just hate that one obnoxious kid in your middle school that cheered for them? Thanks for the weekly laughs. I still think your coach burns at the beach. We did not come here for a vacation video every time I'm coaching my swim team. Is there?
Starting point is 00:58:23 Wow, first it to herd sign off there. That's nice. Dude. That's... you got you would win that dude you're you have the best thank you it means honestly the world to mean that you said that's so funny that's such a good point jubilation now about that's jubilation station uh that's our booth at the super bowl next year it's just called jubilation station.
Starting point is 00:59:03 It's like made out of a poster. Like I made the poster board. It's just on a like a foldout table. Everybody else has this like official backdrop. Just as jubilation now about this on the posterboard. Just two guys with mics. Bro, bro! Just calling people in.
Starting point is 00:59:19 A.O! Straight hand! Just whoever walks by. That's it. I'll get to work on it right now. Got to do it. In L.A. It's in L.A.
Starting point is 00:59:29 See you there. see you there but you'll be getting a hair transfusion or something or your knee cut off yep sorry bad timing see you next year oh man do you actually hate your leased hair team that's a very good question and it's a very
Starting point is 00:59:51 I do think about that sometimes because as Clubhouse knows and as Ben knows the Moulinard comes out of me And when it comes to my teams and the teams that I don't like. And I question that sometime. And even my wife will be like, she'll be like, what is wrong with you? And I think it's a little bit of both.
Starting point is 01:00:14 I think it's, I think it all comes together for a perfect recipe. Right? Like, here comes counter. Come on, come on. No, no, get it. And you know, you already know how to sign it off. Come on, do it, do it, please. It's the perfect recipe.
Starting point is 01:00:37 To make a good cake, you have to have flour, butter, water, egg, sugar. Just like to make a good rivalry, you don't like the team, you don't like the coach, you don't like the city, it doesn't jive, you couldn't live there, you couldn't make it there. Oh, and by the way, the icing on the cake, that kid down the corner, who you can't stand anyway, sorry. God, that was so beautiful, man. I love what he gets going with the fingers. It's the cake. It's the icing.
Starting point is 01:01:15 It's the flour. That made me hungry. So good. It made me hungry. Yeah, yeah. But it all comes together. It's like, it can't just be like if you just don't like a team
Starting point is 01:01:27 because there's some people in the fandom that you think are annoying or can't stand. And like it does, it's got to fully be like, you know, Indiana, New York, you know, you're an Indiana kid, you automatically, you're F New York and they're F, Indiana, you small town, blah, blah, blah. Then it's like Brunson's annoying and he hits everything and he flops everywhere and Cat is annoying. And then you have all their fans like Ben Stiller and all the media who just goes. It all comes together where you're just like, wow, I hate them. Yeah. You know, and then like there's different levels where it's like Steelers Browns, right? Obviously, traditionally, Steelers, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:02:04 run that rivalry. Like historically dominant fashion they run it. The Browns have their few blips. But then you have, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:11 the people on Twitter that you're like, God, you are just the annoying part. Like, I don't really care about the Browns. It's you that drives me nuts. So there's varying levels to it,
Starting point is 01:02:20 but it's a good point brought up by you. It really is. Right about the people who like the team that you also hate. I'm like, I didn't really mind Notre Dame, but until like everybody was so annoying about them, I was like,
Starting point is 01:02:33 I hate this. Damn, dog. Yeah. Damn. Yeah. Always crying, complain. I'm like, what about if they're just not good enough? How about that?
Starting point is 01:02:41 Do you ever consider that? Oh, my gosh. Every weekend, dude, I used to love when Notre Dame lost because I didn't care and everybody else cared so much. I was like, hmm. I remember your tweets. Oh, yeah. I used to.
Starting point is 01:02:56 I remember the early tweets, man. I do. Imagine being Notre Dame and losing an eye. Ireland, like saying shit like that. Notre Dame and Tim Tebow. Those are no-goes for Politi. Except for I'm in love with one of them. Now.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Something else. Oh, good, good. No, you're good. Do you have one more? Or do you have more? Nah, it's all good. I agree. I didn't know. Was he talking about the Sean Jackson's, like the cow?
Starting point is 01:03:32 He's probably talking about the cow punt. turn against Tennessee. That's what I thought. Yeah. Wait, wait. He didn't do it. Yeah. Oh, in college, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Deshawn Jackson had a partner turn against everybody in college. That one against Oregon. That's when Cal was wearing. I'm pretty sure he was wearing. I'm pretty sure he was wearing it. Jet TD3. I'm pretty sure he was wearing those. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Cal was Nike. Everything was right in the world. Jet T-C. T-Ds. T-C band. So many T. Sean Jackson TC bands on the elbows
Starting point is 01:04:07 for some reason his visor looked like it was a mirror visor I'm like is that just like the sun shining in California how does he have that
Starting point is 01:04:15 has the fastest best that most athletic player have a chrome visor all of a sudden he was cold that's been in Cal yeah they had like
Starting point is 01:04:25 they would wear the gold jerseys navy bottom Navy classic helmet with the cow The cow script Glossy
Starting point is 01:04:37 Glossy Yup they were pulling off Those side panels Yeah Yeah yeah yeah He was on the cover NCA football That one year
Starting point is 01:04:46 I was like It's kind of one He's the most number one guy Ever You're kind of like You're kind of like Is this West Virginia Or a cow
Starting point is 01:04:58 What the hell is this But they both worked They did Yeah You're like Somehow I can tell the difference Same uniforms, same color scheme. Same like guys kind of.
Starting point is 01:05:11 Like they're all just track guys that played one year high school football. Like Jesus. Those are the days. Let's go to Tony. Dripping or tripping. Seahawks Uniform Edition. Which version of the Seahawks uniform is the best?
Starting point is 01:05:32 And how has one brand had 19 different shades of green in their color palette over the years? P.S. Benny, can you look for my AirPods again? Because yes, this is from your sister, Tony. Probably the ones I have in my ears right now. Whoops. I stole them. Didn't tell you. Dude, did they ever tell you about when my dad lost his AirPods at Heinzfield? Kind of a lit place to lose AirPods. Oh, yeah. I just left him behind at Heinz Field. It was like... 82 yeah it was uh when the like when every team had to have their training camp at their stadium because of
Starting point is 01:06:15 COVID so it wasn't the COVID year but it's the year after when we were coming out of it but still you kind of like go to your different places that you have training camp and so they had to have it at Heinz at the time and we all went out there for it of course because I think it was like free admission so we're like yeah yeah and uh Popps is, you know, taking calls from the stadium because it's a weekday so he's still got to do a little work
Starting point is 01:06:44 and then all of a sudden like we're walking out. Hold on. I think, I don't, wait. Do you have my... Why would I have your iPod? Why would have your iPods?
Starting point is 01:06:56 Checks a location on them. Location out about this. Just section 113. Heinz. Did he go back and get him? Nope. I can't. I don't think he had to find him. I can't remember exactly.
Starting point is 01:07:10 He'll text me about this today at 9 a.m. after listening. Jerome Bettis is just wearing him right now. Can't find him. Oh, well. Jerome Bettis is somewhere driving a school bus with his AirPods in. Makes sense to me. I literally think Jerome Bettis wakes up and drives a school bus every day. I'm like, has to.
Starting point is 01:07:38 You can't really be that upset about it. That was the case. That was the case. My dad, he would tell everybody that. He'd be happier that that was happening than him having his AirPods. I'd be trying to lose AirPods. Hey, yo. Who knows if Heinz Ward's going to pick up my AirPods?
Starting point is 01:07:58 Let me leave them here. He's leaving AirPods in every stadium. My son has already started to ask like, oh, because we were watching. God dang it. Yeah, we have the tradition that every Super Bowl Sunday in the morning, we watch the Steelers American Games on a marathon. And so we were watching the 05 team. And I was telling him about who all these people wear.
Starting point is 01:08:26 I was like, look at this guy. He'll love this guy. He's the, they called him the bus. And of course, I mean, this kid, I mean, we were in the prime. I watched an episode of the Mandalorian with him today. It's like a 27 minute long episode. Pretty sure he had 68 questions in the 27 minutes. And you couldn't wait to answer him.
Starting point is 01:08:45 Just like everything, this kid, his mind just. And so, of course, why did they call him to bus, daddy? Why is he called the bus? And I'm going to tell him that from now. I'm going to be like, yeah, he wakes up every day and he drives a school bus to practice. Could you imagine? You're getting on the school bus for a field trip, Jerome Bettis is a bus. Hey, that NFL world, we're just living in it.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Get in, babe. Time for school. God, dang it. He was so fun to watch a Monday night. Oh, yeah, dude, those primetime games, bus was going off. Jerome Bettis trucking people. Crowd going crazy. I was like, this is it.
Starting point is 01:09:36 He'd have, like, one truck run, but then he'd score like three touchdowns, and it end up with like 28 yards rushing. Good enough for me. My friends would be dogging me at school. He only had like 28 yards. I'm like, he scored three times. He doesn't even need to do all that. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:09:55 It seemed like he was going to play forever too. I'm like, how's he still fast? He had some quick feet. Kidding me? Number six at Notre Dame. How? Him number six? Sorry.
Starting point is 01:10:10 I'm not trying to tackle that. Not a sports podcast, but yeah. Tony wants to know about the Seahawks uniforms. They dripping or tripping now or 1984? I'm going to be completely honest here. They've always been dripping. Even like the new ones, I'm like Nike kind of went off with those. And they're like legendary, like iconic Super Bowl.
Starting point is 01:10:41 One two Super Bowls in them. Yep. The gray pants, Navy jerseys, Navy helmets? Percy Harvin in those? I'm a big fan personally of the gray pants, white jersey. That too. Navy helmet. Yeah, triple mismatch.
Starting point is 01:11:02 God, the Seahawks gray looks good for some reason. Long navy socks. I like it when they even wear the highlighter green. I'm like, that's their color. They're not just like doing this. Like that like imagine if you're a kid in Seattle and the Seahawks busted those out. You'd be like, oh, yeah, dude. That's first on the Christmas list.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Probably multiple. Lime green? Oh, God, dude. That's like, you're hoping Santa leaves one out for you. And then also you're hoping that like this is all asked for us and you open up another box. It's another one. You know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Dang. But even though back in the day, like the rookie year Sean Alexander Seahawks, those are cold too. I mean, you can't just the colors and the basic like template. Are you talking like the throwback throwback now like two versions ago with
Starting point is 01:11:57 like the silver, the chrome silver dome Mm-hmm. Sparkled on. Oh, those are unbelievable. But Sean Springs. We're nostalgic enough now to where like you go back to like the loaf of the Toot Matt Hasselback, you know? Like that Oh, the in between.
Starting point is 01:12:14 I like those too, bro. They've always been dripping. It fit. It just fit. Because if they would have done, they couldn't do what they're doing now in 2005. It just wasn't, you know, and there was too close removed from what they did in the 80s and the 90s.
Starting point is 01:12:31 So that fit for that 2003 to 2012 era. Sean Alexander on Madden, that era. Those were cold Nobody gave those any credit They're way ones When the shoulders were still navy When Matt has went through the Picked owl hairs
Starting point is 01:12:52 We're gonna take the ball We're gonna score Oh in the snow I was like Yeah those jerseys were so cold I thought dang It just fit super well for that time Because I think
Starting point is 01:13:10 I might have dreamt this But I swear I got the Seahawks Used to be AFC didn't they? And then they made the switch to NFC So they're like we got to make our jersey Our vibe NFC Which makes sense with our AFC NFC They went like dark mode
Starting point is 01:13:25 They had good defense Big running back All that That is so interesting Yeah because even when they wear those throwbacks Now the original ones Which are beautiful You're kind of like
Starting point is 01:13:36 If they play the Broncos And those you're like This is an AFC West matchup What's too much fun Jersey are too much fun Too bright a Jerry Rice 2005 Seahawks jersey
Starting point is 01:13:50 It looks like Jerry Rice out there I yeah The way I searched and searched When you sent me that before the Super Bowl I was like That's it I gotta do that one I gotta do that one
Starting point is 01:14:06 I know The way I searched and searched And I think the only one that I found Was legitimately like $1,500 Autographed I looked too I was like I don't know about that man
Starting point is 01:14:16 he was kind of nice on the Seahawks for like four plays a game. Dude, Jerry Rice at 43, put him on my team right now. Skinny post. Cornerow started here. I could just get open. Talk to me, talk to me, baby. Was he number 80 or is he number like 17 weirdly? No, it was 80.
Starting point is 01:14:43 Yeah. You can't. That's crazy if they would have given him a different number. Hey, what number do you want? You've been in the Hall of Fame for 40 years, but what number do you want? Jerry Rice's helmet on the Raiders, his face mask? Mm-hmm. So, like, so early 2000s.
Starting point is 01:15:02 So 91. Yeah, didn't even have the double bars up here, just had one. You love those receivers, though, you know? On some David Patton swag. How good was he, bro? Dude, David Patton, the Patriots just had that run where they just had like three receivers that all were the same guy. They still do. Dionne Branch, Troy Brown, David Patton.
Starting point is 01:15:28 Same guy. Same exact guy. Bro, I mean, what do you do? Three of those guys walk into the room without their jerseys on? I'm like, 15 years later, they're just fully just go, Dania Madola, Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan. White guys. Wes Welker. What this is a
Starting point is 01:15:48 Are you guys are cloning and swapping names Like what is happening God dang man Same exact guy all of them Amandola Edelman I'd always just be like Which one's which Geez
Starting point is 01:16:03 Both went to Well no you think they both went to Mac schools Where Danny Amadola go Texas Tech Nah Yeah You know You know
Starting point is 01:16:15 Yeah And now we've reached a part of the show where we just name guys for six hours and why they went to school. And so probably about time to sign off. Where'd Chris Hogan go? That's a crazy one. Come on. Oh, wow. Don't say it.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Wow, this is really going to drive me nuts. Didn't you go to Penn State? Dude, I was, I think, but now I don't know. Because he like played lacrosse only.
